THE FULL WITNESS ABOUT OUR LORD
JESUS CHRIST.
HENCEFORTH LET IT BE KNOWN THAT OUR CHRIST IS THE FATHER,
THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. Your ignorance about the deity of
Christ constitutes the problem of the entire world. This is so because,
if you do not know a person, you are bound to give a false witness or
report about such a person.
In Brotherhood of the Cross and Star from January first to December
thirty first of every year, we preach and bear witness about Our Lord
Jesus Christ. OUR SONGS AND TESTIMONIES ARE ALSO ABOUT HIM
AND HIS GLORY. IT IS ERRONEOUS TO REFER TO HIM AS JESUS; LIKE
HE IS JUST ANOTHER HUMAN BEING. THE TRUTH IS THAT HE IS GOD,
THE CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH. HE IS THE I AM THAT I AM,
THE EVER EXISTING GOD.

2. BEARING WITNESS:
If one has a court case and calls a witness to help him prove
his case, if his witness contradicts him, it means such a
witness is against him. Instead of gathering with the
accused he is by his action scattering.
BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
PREACH THAT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF
MAN, THE SON OF GOD, AND GOD HIMSELF. HE IS THE
PROPHET, THE HIGH PRIEST, THE LORD AND KING WHO
LIVES FOREVER. HIS KINGDOM HAS NEITHER A BEGINNING
NOR AN END. THIS IS THE FULL WITNESS ABOUT OUR
LORD JESUS CHRIST. However, from Adam, nobody knew
or recognized Him as Christ, only the Almighty God who
formed the heaven and the earth and the fullness thereof. If
you preach about Christ, you are invariably preaching about
God and His whole creation.

THE TRIUNE GOD HAS REEMERGED:
OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST CONSTITUTES THE TRINITY
GODHEAD. WHY IS HE CALLED THE TRINITY? IT IS
BECAUSE HE HAD EXISTED EVEN WHEN THERE WAS NO
WORLD. HE MANIFESTED AS THE FATHER IN DIFFERENT
ASPECTS TO FORM THE WORLD AND THE FULLNESS
THEREOF. THIS WAS HIS FIRST ADVENT.
WHEN HE CAME BACK TO RECONCILE MAN BACK TO THE
FATHER, HE ASSUMED ANOTHER TITLE, THE SON OF GOD,
TO ENABLE HIM EXECUTE THAT SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT.
THIS WAS HIS SECOND ADVENT. IN THIS THIRD AND FINAL
ADVENT, SINCE HE HAS ALREADY SUCCESSFULLY
RECONCILED MAN WITH THE FATHER, HE HAS COME BACK
AS THE HOLY SPIRIT. IN THESE THREE ADVENTS OF THE
TRINITY'S MANIFESTATION, LET IT BE KNOWN THAT IT IS
JUST ONE PERSON WHO HAS BEEN COMING WITH
DIFFERENT NAMES FOR THESE SPECIAL ASSIGNMENTS.
Why does the whole world lack this wisdom? OF COURSE, IT
IS GOD WHO DEPRIVES US OF THE ABILITY TO
COMPREHEND THAT HE ALONE EXISTS.

BELIEVE HIM, IF HE TELLS YOU HE IS JESUS DO NOT
BELIEVE HIM.*** WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO IS TO SEARCH
THE SCRIPTURES AND SEE IN WHOM THE BIBLE
PROPHECIES AND SIGNS HAVE BEEN FULFILLED.
* SEARCH THE BIBLE TO ASCERTAIN WHOM THE BIBLE HAS
SPOKEN OF, WHICH HAS BEEN MADE MANIFEST IN THIS
LIFE. THE BIBLE IS THE ONLY REFERENCE POINT THAT

BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
5. THE FULL WITNESS ABOUT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.
THE HOLY SPIRIT
Our Lord Jesus Christ is the beginning and the end. He
existed even before the foundation of the world was laid.
This is why he had the boldness to say that He existed
before Abraham was. See the Bible Text below: "Verily,
verily, I say unto you, before Abraham was. I am." (John
8:58). In John 17:5 He also resounded His earlier existence
as He said: And now, 0 Father, glorify thou me with thy own
self with the glory which I had with thee before the world
was." (John 17:5).
This is food for thought for the inhabitants of the world.
Ponder over this excerpt. To whom do you think such
magnifying glory (that which was kept from the beginning of
the world) would be given? Note that this is not the era
when God should be revealed to another by his neighbor or
brother.(Hebrews 8:11). We have been referring to God as
God of Abraham, Isaac Jacob and other patriarchs, yet this
same personality has authoritatively declared that he
existed even before Abraham. Who then is this personality?
HE IS THE WORD OF GOD. HE IS THE POWER OF GOD. HE IS
THE TRUTH. HE IS THE HOLY SPIRIT AND ETERNAL LIFE.
He received the greatest tribulation and suffering. He
suffered a series of humiliations and deprivations. But today,
He is the one to be glorified, above every other person in the
world.
6. Of all the people that have ever existed, Our Lord Jesus
Christ is the only one who exemplified humility in its true
form. He subjected Himself to crucifixion the most
disgraceful of all deaths. Consider a situation where Peter,
one of His disciples wanted to defend Him with a sword, and
He scolded Him as recorded in Matthew 26:52 54 "Put up
again thy sword into its place: for all they that take the
sword shall perish with the sword.
Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and He
shall give me more than twelve legions of angels? But how
then can the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?"
In fact His goodness is without comparison. In leadership,
patience, longsuffering, among other virtues, there is none
to compete with Him. His recondite wisdom confounds the
whole world.
If your preaching centers on Moses, Abraham, and other
patriarchs, know that you are preaching about human
beings. It is said that whatever has a beginning must surely
have an end. Accordingly, your preaching will come to an
end. However if you preach about Our Lord Jesus Christ you
are invariably preaching about the Holy Spirit and your
preaching will endure forever. PREACH THAT OUR LORD
JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF MAN, THE SON OF GOD, AND
GOD HIMSELF. HE IS THE PROPHET, THE HIGH PRIEST, THE
LORD AND KING WHO LIVES FOREVER. HIS KINGDOM HAS
NEITHER A BEGINNING NOR AN END. This is the full witness
about Our Lord Jesus Christ. However, from Adam, nobody
7. knew or recognized Him as Christ, only the Almighty God
who formed the heaven and the earth and the fullness
thereof.
If you preach about Christ, you are invariably preaching
about God and His whole creation.
Those who claim that Christ was the son of Joseph and Mary
are advised to consider the Biblical excerpt below:
"And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thy own self with
the glory which I had with thee before the world was. "(John
17:5) The question now is, did Joseph and Mary exist before
the foundation of the world was laid? Another school of
thought refers to Christ as the son of David. This class
should be directed to this authority: "He saith unto them,
How then doth David in Spirit call Him Lord, saying, The Lord
said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make
thine enemies thy footstool? If David then call Him Lord.
how is he his son?" (Matt 22: 43 45)
ANOTHER GROUP OF PEOPLE CALL HIM JESUS OF
NAZARETH. THIS GROUP HAVE ALSO ERRED BECAUSE
NAZARETH OF YESTERDAY DID NOT EXIT BEFORE THE
FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD WAS LAID. THOSE WHO
REFER TO HIM AS AN ISRAELITE ARE ALSO MISTAKEN.
WHEN THE WORLD WAS VOID AND WITHOUT FORM, WAS
THERE ANY COUNTRY OR NATION LIKE ISRAEL? All these
are men's folly. HENCEFORTH LET IT BE KNOWN THAT OUR
CHRIST IS THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT.
8. Your ignorance about the deity of Christ constitutes the
problem of the entire world. This is so because, if you do not
know a person, you are bound to give a false witness or
report about such a person.
In Brotherhood of the Cross and Star from January first to
December thirty first of every year, we preach and bear
witness about Our Lord Jesus Christ. OUR SONGS AND
TESTIMONIES ARE ALSO ABOUT HIM AND HIS GLORY. IT IS
ERRONEOUS TO REFER TO HIM AS JESUS; LIKE HE IS JUST
ANOTHER HUMAN BEING. THE TRUTH IS THAT HE IS GOD,
THE CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH. HE IS THE I AM
THAT I AM, THE EVER EXISTING GOD. MANY PEOPLE
ARGUE THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT CANNOT MANIFEST AS MAN
AND THAT THE SPIRIT IS NOT HUMAN. THIS IS A TERRIBLE
MISCONCEPTION. WHAT ABOUT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST?
DID HE NOT MANIFEST IN THE FORM OF A HUMAN BEING?
THOSE WHO ARGUE THAT GOD CANNOT BE SEEN BY
MORTAL EYES ARE ALSO MISTAKEN. WAS JESUS THE
CHRIST NOT GOD; AND WAS, HE NOT SEEN? ANOTHER
CLASS OF PEOPLE CLAIM THAT GOD IS SUSPENDED UP
THERE IN HEAVEN, ABOVE THE SKY. WHAT ABOUT JESUS
WHO MANIFESTED AMONG MEN AND WAS SEEN BY ALL
AND SUNDRY? IF YOU ARE NOW CONVINCED THAT JESUS
CHRIST WAS GOD IN HUMAN FORM YOU MUST TELL
OTHERS THAT GOD HIMSELF IS NOW ON EARTH.
9. In accordance with the scriptures He was to be called
Emmanuel, i.e. God with us. However, at his birth, the angel
changed His name to Jesus.
THE TRIUNE GOD HAS REEMERGED:
OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST CONSTITUTES THE TRINITY
GODHEAD. WHY IS HE CALLED THE TRINITY ? IT IS
BECAUSE HE HAD EXISTED EVEN WHEN THERE WAS NO
WORLD. HE MANIFESTED AS THE FATHER IN DIFFERENT
ASPECTS TO FORM THE WORLD AND THE FULLNESS
THEREOF. THIS WAS HIS FIRST ADVENT.
WHEN HE CAME BACK TO RECONCILE MAN BACK TO THE
FATHER, HE ASSUMED ANOTHER TITLE, THE SON OF GOD,

RECONCILED MAN WITH THE FATHER, HE HAS COME BACK
AS THE HOLY SPIRIT. IN THESE THREE ADVENTS OF THE
TRINITY'S MANIFESTATION, LET IT BE KNOWN THAT IT IS
JUST ONE PERSON WHO HAS BEEN COMING WITH
DIFFERENT NAMES FOR THESE SPECIAL ASSIGNMENTS.
Why does the whole world lack this wisdom? OF COURSE, IT
IS GOD WHO DEPRIVES US OF THE ABILITY TO
COMPREHEND THAT HE ALONE EXISTS. As a matter of fact
it is erroneous to believe in the existence of ghost, mermaid,
incubus. juju or any diabolical substance. God alone exists,
and nothing else is in existence beside Him. It is however
10. pathetic that the entire people of world the world, being in
darkness are ignorant of this.

THE FATHER, SON AND HOLY SPIRIT.
*IT WAS OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST ALONE WHO REALLY
KNEW THE FATHER AND REVEALED HIM TO THE WHOLE
WORLD, BECAUSE HE WAS GOD IN HUMAN FORM. WHEN HE
WAS IN THE FLESH HE WAS THE SON. THAT IS WHY HE IS
REFERRED TO AS THE SON, BECAUSE HE CAME IN THE
FLESH. BUT IN THE SPIRIT, HE IS THE FATHER.
YOU CLAIM TO BE A CHRISTIAN OR A MOSLEM, BUT IS
YOUR LIFE PATTERN IN CONFORMITY WITH THE
TEACHINGS OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST? THIS IS WHAT
EVERY ONE OF US SHOULD SIT DOWN AND PONDER OVER.
IF THERE IS ANY PERSON WHO IS LOOKING FOR LIFE BUT
DOES NOT TRUST IN OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, HE
CANNOT HAVE THAT LIFE. FORGET ABOUT THE CITIZENS
OF SOME COUNTRIES WHO CLAIM THAT THEY DO NOT
STEAL, FORNICATE, DRINK OR DO ANY EVIL THING. EVEN
THOUGH THEY CLAIM TO HAVE REFRAINED FROM ALL
THESE VICES, THEY ARE NOT SAVED. EVEN IF YOU DO NOT
11. STEAL, COMMIT MURDER, BUT YOU DO NOT TRUST IN OUR
LORD JESUS CHRIST, YOU ARE NOT SAVED.
It is said that “God will teach them all things, and all those
who have learnt from God will follow me.” Apart from Our
Lord Jesus Christ, point out any other person, since the
creation of the world, who has the expression of love. Apart
from Our Lord Jesus Christ, name any other person who has
been able to reveal God to all the inhabitants of the world.
Abraham did not know God. Enoch did not know God. Adam
did not know God. No other person knows God. IT WAS OUR
LORD JESUS CHRIST ALONE WHO REALLY KNEW THE
FATHER AND REVEALED HIM TO THE WHOLE WORLD,
BECAUSE HE WAS GOD IN HUMAN FORM. WHEN HE WAS IN
THE FLESH HE WAS THE SON. THAT IS WHY HE IS
REFERRED TO AS THE SON, BECAUSE HE CAME IN THE
FLESH. BUT IN THE SPIRIT, HE IS THE FATHER. This was
why when Philip asked Him, “Show us the Father that it
would suffice us. “Jesus said unto him, “I have been so long
with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? Do you
not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me?
When you see me, you see the Father. The words that I
speak unto you I speak not of myself but the Father that
dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. If you do not believe in
me, believe in the works that are manifested before you.”
You cannot know God through flesh and blood but only
through the manifestation of His works on earth. It is the
height of insult and disgrace to refer to a certain person as
God. Can you say God is as little as that man? YOU CAN SAY
12. THAT A PARTICULAR PERSON IS A CHILD OF GOD. THIS IS
HOW GOD HAS ARRANGED HIS THINGS. NOW THE HOLY
SPIRIT IS HERE ON EARTH. OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST BORE
ELOQUENT TESTIMONY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THE
TESTIMONY OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST HANGS ON THIS
GOSPEL. The inhabitants of the world reject the fact that
the HOLY SPIRIT is in existence. The reason is that the
HOLY SPIRIT does not exist for them. You have heard what
the Golden Text says that whoever breaks the least of these
commandments, and shall teach others so to do, he shall be
called least in the Kingdom of God. But whosoever shall do
and teach them, the same shall be called great in the
kingdom of heaven.

THE FATHER SON AND HOLY SPIRIT
* This is not the time to deceive any person, either with
vision or dream or otherwise. It is said the kingdom of this
13. world has become the kingdom of Jehovah God and His
Christ. (Rev 11:15).
*THE FIRST ADAM WAS A CHILD OF GOD, AND THE SECOND
ADAM WAS A CHILD OF GOD. THE THIRD ADAM IS THE
MANIFESTATION OF THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY
SPIRIT. HE HAS BEEN GIVEN ALL POWER AND AUTHORITY
WITH WHICH TO RULE THE WHOLE WORLD. HE THEREFORE
HAS NOT COME AS A PREACHER OR PROPHET OR A
MESSENGER, BUT AS A KING WITH POWER AND
AUTHORITY TO RULE HEAVEN AND EARTH.
* IN THE SAME MANNER HE HAS COME AGAIN, NOT
ANSWERING JESUS, BUT WITH A NEW NAME AND WITH A
ROD OF IRON TO RULE THE WORLD. HE HAS COME WITH A
NEW NAME WHICH IS WRITTEN BENEATH HIS GARMENT
WHICH NO ONE KNOWS EXCEPT HIMSELF.
Brethren the three texts form the basis of our sermon. This
is not the time to deceive any person, either with vision or
dream or otherwise. It is said the kingdom of this world has
become the kingdom of Jehovah God and His Christ. (Rev
11:15). It is also said that what was done to the Israelites
shall also be done unto the Gentiles. His coming had been
revealed, and this is the time for the manifestation of the
revelation.
It was revealed that a young girl would give birth to a male
child, and his name will be Emmanuel. It was also revealed
that a woman shall deliver a man child who will rule the
14. world with a rod of iron. All power in heaven and on earth,
according to the revelation, is handed unto this man-child.
The revelation has been fulfilled this day but the world does
not know Him. The world is instead gazing into the sky,
going to the mountain tops and gathering stones and sticks
to seek for power and help. Why has this wisdom eluded the
whole world?
The problems of the world are brought about by this
ignorance.
When you say that you cannot worship any man, who was
the one who ascended? Was he a stone or a stick or a fish or
an angel? Which angel has God ever told, "Ye are my son
and this day have I begotten thee?" (Heb 1:5).
The angel made it clear through the revelation that the man-child
shall be brought forth by a woman. In the first advent
His name was given as Jesus, the Emmanuel, meaning God
with man. But this time around the mystery is that no name
has been given. But it is said in the scriptures that He will
come with an iron rod to rule the world. Therefore if you fail
to know and recognize this person who had been
empowered to rule the world with an iron rod and into whose
hands all power in heaven and on earth is entrusted, you are
doomed.
If all power and authority is given to this being that you
refuse to recognize, what will you do on the day of
judgment? All the trees, stones, angels and the rest of the
15. creatures bow down and worship Him. If you, man, refuse to
worship Him, from where will your salvation come? Do you
remember what happened to Lucifer?
In the case of Our Lord Jesus Christ it was prophesied that a
young girl should bring forth a male child and His name shall
be called Jesus. But in this case, the revelation is that a
woman shall bring forth a man child who will rule the world
with a rod of iron.
This latter revelation has since been fulfilled, and the man
child is ruling with a rod of iron. The problem with the world
is that they do not know Him, and instead of seeking to
know and recognize Him they are saying that they cannot
worship a man.
THE FIRST ADAM WAS A CHILD OF GOD, AND THE SECOND
ADAM WAS A CHILD OF GOD. THE THIRD ADAM IS THE
MANIFESTATION OF THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY
SPIRIT. HE HAS BEEN GIVEN ALL POWER AND AUTHORITY
WITH WHICH TO RULE THE WHOLE WORLD. HE THEREFORE
HAS NOT COME AS A PREACHER OR PROPHET OR A
MESSENGER, BUT AS A KING WITH POWER AND
AUTHORITY TO RULE HEAVEN AND EARTH.
OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS THE SAME TODAY,
TOMORROW, AND FOREVER. (Heb 13:8).
The first Christ was given superintendence over the fishes in
water, the birds of the air, the animals in the bushes, the
trees and all the things created by God. Since that time that
16. the authority was given to Him, has He been dethroned? Or
has that authority been taken away from Him? He came
back to continue His kingship in the kingdom of His Father
which endures forever. At that time His itinerary was not
made a matter of: "no cross, no crown." IN THE SAME
MANNER HE HAS COME AGAIN, NOT ANSWERING JESUS,
BUT WITH A NEW NAME AND WITH A ROD OF IRON TO RULE
THE WORLD. HE HAS COME WITH A NEW NAME WHICH IS
WRITTEN BENEATH HIS GARMENT WHICH NO ONE KNOWS
EXCEPT HIMSELF.
Those of you who question why the Father has not revealed
this wisdom to the entire world, have you forgotten Herod's
intention and plans when he heard that a king was born? To
make sure that he had no rival and no other person reigned
during his life-time, Herod ordered that all male children of
particular ages be killed.
That shows you how wonderful man is. But unfortunately for
man, God is all-knowing.
If God were to disclose to the world, like it was done in the
case of Jesus Christ, human beings and governments would
rise up in arms against such a person. Nobody knows
whether he is black or white for now. As the heaven is
higher than the earth, so also has God's wisdom surpassed
man's. (Isa 55:9). How will you be able to know this person
who is destined to rule the world with a rod of iron and who
has been trusted with all power and authority in heaven and
17. on earth? It is written that he will come like a thief in the
night. (1 Thes 5:2).
A fool at forty is said to be a fool forever. Being fooled once
is understandable; but to be fooled a second time means you
are a fool forever. God has since realized that messengers
and prophets and even His Begotten Son, He has been
sending down end up being slain by man. THAT IS WHY THIS
TIME AROUND, HE HAS DECIDED TO COME BY HIMSELF
AND WITH FULL GRACE. HIS ADVENT HAS THEREFORE
ELUDED THE ENTIRE WORLD.
The world is wasting its time, energy and money to visit the
sun, moon, and stars and the rest of the planets to
investigate and try to find out this mystery. They are merely
wasting their time because power and authority over all the
planets is in the hands of this being whose identity they are
trying to unravel.
If your enemy intends to go to war with you and he has one
thousand soldiers while you have only twenty, the only
remedy is for you to go and make peace with him. Initially
the world had thought this kingdom to be a thing to joke
with. But they have realized that it is not something to toy
with. When a child is born in the world, the people will try to
investigate through various ways to know what kind of a
person that child will grow up to be. If they realize that the
child is likely to be prominent, they will find one way or the
other to eliminate that child.
18. FOR THOSE WHO ARE AWAITING THE ARRIVAL OF OUR
LORD JESUS CHRIST FROM THE SKY, IF IT SHOULD
HAPPEN LIKE THAT WHAT DO YOU THINK THE ENEMIES
WOULD DO? WOULD THEY ALLOW HIM TO LAND AT ALL?
And if He has to land at all, where will He land? With the
human laws over the land, sea and air, where will the people
allow Him to land? The same thing that happened to the
Israelites and the people of old is repeating itself today.
It was stated in their books that Elijah shall come before the
Messiah. (Matt 11:10-15). To make matters worse for them,
Elijah was taken up in the manner that was known by the
people, and because of that all of them expected him to
come back in that manner before the arrival of Our Lord
Jesus Christ. Therefore when Christ the Messiah arrived
without the appearance of Elijah as stated in their books,
the people disbelieved Him. Even up till now, the Israelites
are still expecting the arrival of Elijah. Their hearts were
further hardened to enhance their disbelief because of their
ill will and evil intentions.
THE SAME THING CONTINUES TODAY. THE PEOPLE FAILED
TO KNOW THAT JOHN THE BAPTIST WHO WAS BROUGHT
FORTH BY ELISABETH, WAS THE ELIJAH WHO HAD COME
TO HERALD THE COMING OF JESUS CHRIST (MATTHEW
11:14/ MARK 9:11-13). Herod asked the wise men to inform
him after seeing the new-born king so that he too could go
and worship him. If the wise men had gone back to inform
him, would Herod not have gone straight, or sent soldiers, to
19. kill Him? AS GOD HID THAT KNOWLEDGE OF THE NEW KING
FROM THAT GENERATION, SO ALSO HAS HE HIDDEN THE
KNOWLEDGE OF THE IRON ROD RULER FROM THE PRESENT
GENERATION.
He has said in John 14: 19 that, "Yet a little while the world
seeth me no more; but ye see me; because I live, ye shall
live also." Therefore when you pray God to reveal this
mystery to the whole world, do you imagine what eyes they
would want to see this kingdom with? THOSE WHOM HE
DESIRES TO SEE AND TO KNOW HIM HE HAS REVEALED
HIMSELF UNTO THEM. The worldly people are unbelievers
and they do not like the truth. If you want to pass through a
place where your enemies are, you have to do so quietly.
Equally, if you want to go and rob somebody and you set off
from your house with a bell and a public address system,
ringing and shouting as you walk ahead, before ever you
reach your destination, information shall have reached him
and he would appropriately get himself ready for you or he
would simply flee the house. He has come like a thief to
surprise and arrest all who do not believe in Him and also
resist His governance.
In any case, what concerns us today is the revelation of the
angel about the man-child and what will happen. The angel
did not say that He will descend from the sky. The meaning
of the passage is that: AS HE CAME AS A MAN, IN LIKE
MANNER, SHALL HE COME BACK. Man has eyes but cannot
see, has ears but cannot hear, and the mind but cannot
20. perceive. Their hearts have further been hardened so that
they would continue in their ignorance. EVEN AS THE
MESSIAH WAS BROUGHT FORTH BY A WOMAN, SO ALSO
SHALL THE ONE WHO WILL RULE THE WORLD WITH A ROD
OF IRON BE BROUGHT FORTH BY A WOMAN. ALL POWER,
AUTHORITY AND GLORY IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH HAVE
BEEN GIVEN TO HIM. IF THEREFORE YOU SAY YOU
CANNOT WORSHIP MAN, BUT YOU PREFER TO WORSHIP
STONES, TREES, WATER, LEAF, OR SAND, HAS GOD EVER
GIVEN HIS POWER TO THESE ELEMENTS AS HE GAVE MAN?
THIS THING IS NOT REVEALED TO YOU SO THAT YOU WILL
GO AND PREACH TO UNBELIEVERS. IT IS REVEALED TO
YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE AS ONE WHO HAS BEEN CALLED
IN HERE TO SHARE IN THE MARRIAGE FEAST AND ALSO SO
THAT YOU WILL GIRD UP YOUR LOINS. The disciples of Our
Lord Jesus Christ asked Him why He spoke to other people
in parables, but spoke to them, the disciples, in plain
language. He told them it been written that he who has
little, the same will be taken away from him and added to
that of the person who has much. (Matt 25:29).God has
further blinded the eyes and blocked the ears of those who
doubt and disbelieve so that they will not see and hear. He
has also hardened their hearts that they may not believe.
But He has opened the eyes and ears of those who are His
children and broadened their minds to understand His
injunctions and obey and to behold his glory.(Matthew 13:10-
17)

THE SUPERNATURAL TEACHER
Do not deceive yourself with the belief that you can teach
the world. Always refer people to the Supernatural Teacher
who teaches with authority else, you are scattering abroad.
What is the truth about Brotherhood? It is love. What do you
see me do here? I am practicing love. What do I teach you? I
teach about love. You have to tow the same line with me
and tell others what I teach you. I have never told you that I
am God. So, you have no cause to go out and tell people that
I am God. If you do this, you are contradicting yourself
because when they come to me, I will tell them that I am not
God but a Teacher. Refer again to our First Lesson.

22. THE BIBLE IS THE REFERENCE POINT:
* IF SOMEBODY COMES TO TELL YOU HE IS GOD, DO NOT
BELIEVE HIM, IF HE TELLS YOU HE IS JESUS DO NOT
BELIEVE HIM.*** WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO IS TO SEARCH
THE SCRIPTURES AND SEE IN WHOM THE BIBLE
PROPHECIES AND SIGNS HAVE BEEN FULFILLED.
* SEARCH THE BIBLE TO ASCERTAIN WHOM THE BIBLE HAS
SPOKEN OF, WHICH HAS BEEN MADE MANIFEST IN THIS
LIFE. THE BIBLE IS THE ONLY REFERENCE POINT THAT
WILL GUIDE YOU PROPERLY.
SECOND BIBLE LESSON: JOHN 18:13-15
Howbeit, when the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you
into all truth; for he shall not speak of himself, but
whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak. He shall
glorify me for he shall receive of mine and shall show it unto
you. All things that the Father hath are mine, therefore said
I, that he shall take of mine and shall show it unto you.
THE BIBLE IS THE REFERENCE POINT:
Brethren, have you heard the second lesson? Everything
in this world has its roots in the Bible and this explains why
Our Lord Jesus Christ said that when the Spirit of truth is
come, he will guide you into all truth, and reveal everything
unto you, whatever he has spoken, and that is what has
happened. Now has that Spirit not come, and has he not
taught you everything? This is why members of other
23. churches always marvel at the depth of your wisdom and
understanding of the scriptures, especially, your ability to
explain and expatiate on the scriptures.
Brethren, the scriptures contain everything about the
world and its operations and the practices of man, wherever
man is found. That is why Andrew told his brother to: "Come
for behold, I have seen the man of whom it was written
about." Why did he do that? HE DID THAT BECAUSE HE SAW
SOME SIGNS THAT SYMBOLIZE THE MANIFESTATION OF
THE PERSON OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. On this note,
I want you to understand that the scriptures embody a lot of
things about this life and the life to come. They contain
information about the world and its operations, its people,
their cultures and practices. On this note, you do not need to
ask people questions, you do not have to draw fallacious
conclusions, you do not have to be in a hurry. ALL THAT
YOU NEED TO DO IS TO OBSERVE THE SIGNS SO THAT
NOBODY WILL TELL YOU THAT HE IS GOD, HE IS CHRIST,
HE IS THIS OR THAT.
IF SOMEBODY COMES TO TELL YOU HE IS GOD, DO
NOT BELIEVE HIM, IF HE TELLS YOU HE IS JESUS DO NOT
BELIEVE HIM.*** WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO IS TO SEARCH
THE SCRIPTURES AND SEE IN WHOM THE BIBLE
PROPHECIES AND SIGNS HAVE BEEN FULFILLED. SEARCH
THE BIBLE TO ASCERTAIN WHOM THE BIBLE HAS SPOKEN
OF, WHICH HAS BEEN MADE MANIFEST IN THIS LIFE. THE
BIBLE IS THE ONLY REFERENCE POINT THAT WILL GUIDE
24. YOU PROPERLY. YOU SHOULD REALIZE THAT WHAT WE
ARE TALKING ABOUT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH
ACADEMIC ATTAINMENT, ACADEMIC KNOWLEDGE, IT HAS
NOTHING TO DO WITH THE STATURE OF A HUMAN BEING.
IT HAS TO DO WITH THE SPOKEN WORD, THE PROPHECIES
AS LAID DOWN IN THE SCRIPTURES.
Brethren, Our Lord Jesus Christ has told His disciples,
“I HAVE YET MANY THINGS TO SAY UNTO YOU, BUT YE
CANNOT BEAR THEM NOW, BUT HOWBEIT, WHEN HE, THE
SPIRIT OF TRUTH IS COME, HE SHALL GUIDE YOU INTO ALL
TRUTH, FOR HE SHALL NOT SPEAK OF HIMSELF.
WHATSOEVER I HAVE SAID UNTO YOU, THAT WILL HE
SPEAK, HE SHALL GLORIFY ME." That is what is happening
today, you do not need the soothsayers, to tell you what has
happened because all the things HE had taught us, all the
things he had envisaged of this time and prophesied about
have been fulfilled. Before this time, you never knew that it
is sinful to quarrel, to fight, to steal, to commit fornication,
to indulge in idolatry and diabolism. You never knew that all
these things were sinful but today, it has been so well
explained and expatiated upon, and expanded to you and
you have understood that THE WORD OF GOD IS POWER,
THAT IN THE WORD OF GOD YOU FIND WISDOM. IF YOU
TAKE THIS GOSPEL SERIOUSLY AND PRACTICE IT, YOU
WILL FIND THE SALVATION YOU HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR
AND ALL THE PROBLEMS ON YOUR WAY WILL BE SOLVED.
25. THE WORD OF GOD IS THE PIVOT:
There is one of our spiritual choruses which says the
Holy Spirit is the life and the source of life for all God's
people. It is everything for every man. And this explains why
you are told that it is only with the Holy Spirit that you can
be saved. The word of God is the pivot on which every other
thing revolves. This is why I give it to you daily. YOU
ENCOUNTER PROBLEMS BECAUSE YOU DOWN PLAY THE
IMPORTANCE OF THE WORD OF GOD. You do not listen, you
do not hear, you do not understand, because you lack
concentration. That is why you cannot experience peace
and progress in your life. If you observe carefully, you will
understand that the teachings as contained in the Bible are
given to you without adulteration. WE DO NOT USE
CANDLES, BURN INCENSE, OR USE ORCHESTRAL
INSTRUMENTS FOR OUR WORSHIP. NOBODY HAS EVER
BEEN ASKED TO GO TO A CERTAIN MOUNTAIN SO THAT
ONE OR TWO THINGS COULD BE DONE. YOU ARE NOT
ASKED TO GROW A WILD BEARD AND LOOK LIKE A
PREHISTORIC MAN, YOU ARE NOT ASKED TO OFFER
SACRIFICES AT SOME STRANGE PLACES. WHAT IS
HAPPENING HERE IS THE WORD OF GOD WHICH IS GIVEN
TO YOU AT ALL TIMES.
***HAVE I EVER TOLD YOU TO GO AND BUILD A HOUSE
FOR GOD? YOUR DESIRE AND LUST FOR MATERIALISM
CAUSE YOU TO DERAIL FROM THE PATH OF RECTITUDE.
The way you yearn for the things of this world, the
26. fornication you commit, the diabolical practices you indulge
in, the fetish things, the charms, the amulets you gather for
yourselves are the causes of your problems. AND THAT IS
WHY YOU ARE ASKED TO LISTEN ATTENTIVELY TO THE
GOSPEL OF GOD, CONCENTRATE ON THE WORD OF GOD
AND MAKE USE OF THE WORD OF GOD. I HAVE OFTEN TOLD
YOU THAT GOD DWELLS IN THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF
MEN. HE STAYS WITHIN THE MIND. BUT SOME PERSONS
HAVE UNDERTAKEN THE ASSIGNMENTS WHICH THEY
THINK IS MUCH MORE IMPORTANT, LIKE BUILDING
CATHEDRALS. OF WHAT USE IS A CATHEDRAL TO GOD?
GOD DOES NOT DWELL IN ANY EDIFICE BUILT BY MAN, HE
DWELLS IN THE HEART AND MIND. SO WHEN YOU BEGIN TO
DISTURB PEOPLE THAT THEY SHOULD GO ON MINISTRY
WORK, CELEBRATE FEAST, DONATE TO CHARITY, ETC.,
WHICH IS NOT THE BASIC THING. THE BASIC THING AND
PRIMARY REQUIREMENT IS TO FORSAKE SIN AND ACCEPT
THE WORD OF GOD.
2ND BIBLE WITNESS: JOHN 5:30
I can of my ownself do nothing; as I hear I judge: and my
judgement is just; because I seek not my own will but the
will of the Father which hath sent me.
27. HEARKEN TO THE HOLY SPIRIT:
BRETHREN, HAVE YOU HEARD THAT YOU MUST AT
ALL TIMES LISTEN TO THE SPIRIT OF GOD? THIS IS
BECAUSE IF YOU LISTEN AND HEARKEN TO THE HOLY
SPIRIT YOU WILL HAVE NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER. If
you come in here and the spirit directs that you should
donate N200.00 do exactly that. However, why you all will
fail is that when you examine yourself, your personality,
stature, and position in society, you feel you should go
beyond bound, you feel you should maintain your status quo.
By thinking along this line, you bring the flesh into
reckoning, and you denigrate the Spirit which is God. I want
you to understand that as far as the spirit is concerned, His
decision and instruction lead to eternal life. You all have
heard about David, one of the kings of Israel, who having
realized the power of God endowed in him, decided to build
a cathedral, and God instructed him against it, that he
should not do it because his hands were soiled with blood.
God asked David to allow His son Solomon to erect the
Cathedral and he obeyed.
I always laugh when you claim to have done anything in
this kingdom because you cannot do anything on your own
volition. It is the spirit that directs everything in Brotherhood
of the Cross and Star. IT IS BECAUSE OF THE IMPORTANCE
OF THE WORD OF GOD WHICH IS THE SPIRIT AND THE
IMPORTANCE OF THE INSTRUCTIONS THAT ARE GIVEN BY
28. THE SPIRIT, THAT WHENEVER YOU COME HERE, I
EXPOUND TO YOU WHAT THE HOLY SPIRIT DIRECTS: HIS
NORMS, HIS PRACTICES, THE STANDARD THAT MUST BE
KEPT, I TELL YOU ALL THINGS ALWAYS BUT YOU ALWAYS
DRAW YOUR CONCLUSIONS. Some of you would say,
"Today's gospel is for me.” Others would say “Today's
preaching is for me,” and you keep claiming the gospel is for
you, but have you ever made any attempt to practice the
teachings? I DO NOT WANT ANYTHING FROM YOU APART
FROM LISTENING TO MY TEACHINGS AND PRACTICING
SAME. THIS IS BECAUSE YOUR SALVATION LIES IN
PRACTICING MY TEACHINGS. WHEN YOU GO CONTRARY TO
MY TEACHINGS, YOU HAVE YOURSELF TO BLAME. The
Golden Text should be read.
BY: LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
THE SUPERNATURAL TEACHER, AND
SOLE SPIRITUAL HEAD OF THE UNIVERSE
BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR
EXCERPT FROM : THE HOLY SPIRIT IS OUR SOURCE OF
INSPIRATION
………………………………………………………………………………………
THE SUPERNAURAL TEACHER:
If one has a court case and calls a witness to help him prove
his case, if his witness contradicts him, it means such a
29. witness is against him. Instead of gathering with the
accused he is by his action scattering.
EXAMPLE IS BETTER THAN PRECEPT:
This is exactly what some members of this kingdom are
doing because I have never told you that I am God, Christ,
angel or any name you can imagine. It is not uncommon to
hear the Christ Servants telling people that I am God. In the
same vein, it is not also uncommon to hear the ordained
ones telling people that I am an angel and so on. Now that
you feed people with these unrelated information, do you
know that you are against Him and you are scattering
instead of gathering with Him? My only teaching to you is to
love one another. But when you leave this place, you go
about giving people unrelated information about the Father.
Do you not know that, you are against the Father in that
case and equally scattering in this case instead of gathering
with Him? I HAVE TOLD YOU SEVERAL TIMES THAT MY
DESIGNATION IS THE SUPERNATURAL TEACHER. Right
from my youth, I emphasized that people should call me a
Teacher. I am not a preacher but a Teacher. DO NOT SEE ME
AS VISIONER OR DREAMER BUT AS A SUPERNATURAL
TEACHER. THE TEACHINGS YOU RECEIVE FROM ME HAVE
NEVER BEEN DELIVERED BY ANYBODY EVER SINCE THE
CREATION OF THE WORLD. THEREFORE, IT IS IMPORTANT
THAT YOU TELL THE WORLD WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN
TAUGHT HERE AND NOTHING MORE OR LESS. You have
erred when you tell people that you are not taught the things
30. you know. If you say this, then how do you know the things
that you know? You are the one confusing the world.
Whenever you tell them that the Holy Father is God, they
become confused; as such, dread me. If you had informed
them that the Holy Father is a Teacher and that they should
come and be taught, they would have come en mass to
receive these divine teachings. If everybody were to come
and receive these teachings, there would be no more
problem in the world. Except one obtains the perfect
knowledge of the truth I impart to the world, none will
understand the spiritual things of this kingdom. Recall, when
our Lord Jesus Christ was approached by His disciples to
teach them the things of the kingdom of heaven, He quickly
told them that, if they could not believe the earthly things
which He was teaching them, how would they believe the
heavenly things. WHAT ARE THESE HEAVENLY THINGS
THEY DEMANDED THAT HE SHOULD TEACH THEM? IT IS
GOD. THEY WANTED TO KNOW WHAT GOD IS LIKE. THE
QUESTION IS, HOW WOULD THEY HAVE BELIEVED GOD
WHO IS A HEAVENLY BEING WHEN THEY EVEN
THREATENED TO CAST STONES AT OUR LORD JESUS
WHEN HE PROCLAIMED HIMSELF THE CHRIST?
No rational man would place his treasured ornament before
the swine.
I AM NOT GOD BUT OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU:
Within this fold, one has every right to refer to the Father as
God or anything you know Him to be. But when you go into
31. the world to tell people that Olumba is God, you have
succeeded in doing nothing but in setting the minds of the
people ablaze. Do not scare people away from me. Tell them
that the Father is a Supernatural Teacher for the world is
desirable of knowing what the Father is. Assuming you were
on an evangelical tour, and in the course, you circulate the
information that Olumba is God, may be in a place where
people do not know much about the Father, but later they
come across the Father's publication entitled “I AM NOT
GOD, BUT OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU,” how would they regard
your claim? And how would they regard you? Your claim is
enough to scatter the flock which you had gathered. If care
is not taken, you may risk your life for spreading false rumor,
as the people would claim. They would abuse and disregard
you. You would from that time be seen as a deceiver.
Nothing would stop them from labeling all Brotherhood
members as foolish people. You are contradicting me when
you tell people that I am God. Tell them that I am the
Supernatural Teacher. Members of Brotherhood of the Cross
and Star have gone along way causing trouble for
themselves. Some members claim that the Father is Christ
and the Christ's Students regard this category of members
as rebels. They see Him as God, the Father. Others regard
the Father as a Leader. Thus all these diverse claims are
confusing. If somebody should come in here to carry out a
research work on who the Father is, he would not come out
with any tangible result because of variations in his
32. findings. Holding various beliefs as to who the Father is,
affords you nothing.
The most rewarding thing is for one to follow His teachings
and practice same. The teachings I give to you in this
kingdom are the recondite truth and indeed, quite unique. It
could not be received from anywhere else.
A few days ago, one of the staff of Everlasting Gospel
center, testified that, the teachings obtainable in
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star are so encompassing and
intensive that they could not be compared with that of the
world. He testified that the teaching of the world is divided
into subjects such as English Language, Mathematics,
Statistics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Law, Medicine,
Political Science, Computer Science, etc. and that these
subjects or disciplines are taught by different people. He
also said that a course of study like Biology may be handled
by more than ten teachers, but that in this kingdom where
advanced and more compact teachings are obtained, only
one and most efficient Teacher handles these lessons. He
teaches better than all the teachers in the world. His
teachings cut across all facets of life, and are all delivered
in details. Therefore, whoever comes to Brotherhood of the
Cross and Star with the sole objective of receiving these
teachings and practicing same will never have problem. I AM
THE SUPERNATURAL TEACHER: Our Organist, Brother E. E.
Eyo (Bishop) wrote a book entitled “The Truth Has Come.”
When one white man, a colleague of his at Hope Waddell
33. institution saw the publication, he contested Eyo’s claim:
After series of explanations, the brother was not satisfied
and so, told Eyo that the truth is yet to come. Eventually,
they resolved to see who the truth is. The white man’s
intention was to come and disgrace the Holy Father, the
main character in the book. On arrival, I called him (the
white man) my brother but he retorted that he is not my
brother. In spite of this, I offered him a seat. Having sat
down, he started questioning me. “I have heard your
followers say, and have read it in some publications that the
truth has come, when in essence, the truth has not yet
come. What is your stand in this regard?” I asked him,
“Young man, am I the author of that book?” He said, “No.” I
also asked him whether he was baptized and he replied in
the affirmative and I requested to know how he was
baptized. He said, by sprinkling water on the forehead. I
asked him to show me any portion in the Bible where that
method of baptism is written. He could not: and that was the
first knock out. I told him I had decided to show him the
truth. At the end of my submission with tenable portions
from the scriptures, he was flabbergasted. He thought of a
way to disappear from my presence but could not. I also
asked him to support his argument that the truth is yet to
come with the scripture but he could not. He became
ashamed of himself. The people who gathered around
mocked him. The revelation of the truth shocked him to the
marrow. At a point, he started addressing me as his brother
but he had earlier objected to me calling him my brother.
34. Eventually, the brother departed with the truth shown to
him. He went back to tell others that he has been taught the
truth. When the people started contesting the possibility of
somebody teaching the truth, he referred them to 34 Ambo
Street, Calabar to receive the truth.
DO NOT DECEIVE YOURSELF WITH THE BELIEF THAT YOU
CAN TEACH THE WORLD. ALWAYS REFER PEOPLE TO THE
SUPERNATURAL TEACHER WHO TEACHES WITH
AUTHORITY ELSE, YOU ARE SCATTERING ABROAD.
WHAT IS THE TRUTH ABOUT BROTHERHOOD? IT IS LOVE.
WHAT DO YOU SEE ME DO HERE? I AM PRACTICING LOVE.
WHAT DO I TEACH YOU? I TEACH ABOUT LOVE. YOU HAVE
TO TOW THE SAME LINE WITH ME AND TELL OTHERS WHAT
I TEACH YOU. I have never told you that I am God. So, you
have no cause to go out and tell people that I am God. If you
do this, you are contradicting yourself because when they
come to me, I will tell them that I am not God but a Teacher.
Refer again to our First Lesson.
……………………………………………………………………………………….
SALVATION THROUGH ONE MAN
* GOD DID NOT COVENANT THAT HE WILL THROUGH TWO
PERSONS SAVE THE WORLD. BUT HE SAID HE WOULD
THROUGH ONE PERSON SAVE THE WORLD. (Rom 5:19). AS
LONG AS SOMEBODY HAS OPENED AND READ THE SMALL
BOOK, IF YOU BELIEVE IN THE FELLOW WHO CAN READ
THE BOOK, THEN YOU ARE SAVED.
35. * IT WAS ONLY OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WHO INDICATED
HIS WILLINGNESS TO GO; AND SO HE ACCEPTED TO OFFER
HIMSELF AS A SUPREME SACRIFICE FOR THE REDEMPTION
AND SALVATION OF THE WORLD.
* IF THERE IS ANY PERSON IN THIS WORLD OR IN
ANOTHER WORLD WHO SAYS HE CAN PRACTICE THE WORD
OF GOD LET HIM COME OUT AND SHOW HIMSELF. IF THERE
IS ANY PERSON, WHETHER AN ANGEL OR SPIRIT OR AN
APPARITION, BRING HIM TO ME.
* EVERY PERSON HAS TESTIFIED THAT THE LEADER
PREACHES THE REAL WORD OF GOD, PRACTICES THE
WORD, AND THAT HE IS A REAL MAN OF GOD. YES, THAT IS
MY QUALIFICATION.
GOLDEN TEXT: REVELATION 5:13
"And every creature which is in heaven, and on earth, and
under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are
in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honor, and glory, and
power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto
the Lamb forever and ever."
Brethren, have you heard what is read to you? Why do you
not possess such a thankful heart? Why are you not aware
that He has conquered, and that you have been conquered
also? It has been written that as by one man's disobedience
many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall
many be made righteous. (Rom 5:19). GOD DOES NOT SAVE
YOU BY YOUR OWN SELF BUT THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS
36. CHRIST. IT WAS FOR HIS SAKE ALONE THAT PEOPLE WERE
SAVED, BECAUSE HE WAS THE ONLY PERSON WHO
OPENED THE BOOK AND READ THE CONTENTS OF IT. AS
LONG AS HE HAS THE ABILITY TO OPEN THE BOOK OF
LIFE, AND READ THE CONTENTS OF THE BOOK BECAUSE
HE WAS SLAIN, AND SO THE VOICE BELLOWED, THAT ALL
CREATURES IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH AND UNDER THE
EARTH AND IN THE SEA, SAYING: "LET BLESSING, AND
HONOUR, AND GLORY, AND POWER BE UNTO HIM WHO
SITS UPON THE THRONE AND UNTO THE LAMB FOR EVER
AND EVER. AMEN."
WHO SHALL I SEND, WHO WILL GO FOR ME?
Remember that God had said in Isaiah, "whom shall I send,
and who will go for us?" (Isaiah 6:8). But both the heaven
and the earth were quite silent. All the angels, the Cherubim
and Seraphim were quiet. IT WAS ONLY OUR LORD JESUS
CHRIST WHO INDICATED HIS WILLINGNESS TO GO; AND SO
HE ACCEPTED TO OFFER HIMSELF AS A SUPREME
SACRIFICE FOR THE REDEMPTION AND SALVATION OF THE
WORLD. HE WAS THE PERSON WHO SAID, "I, HERE AM I,
SEND ME." After that declaration by Our Lord Jesus Christ,
another aspect of the heavenly situation is revealed in
Revelation Chapter Five where John the Divine said he saw
a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "WHO IS
WORTHY TO OPEN THE BOOK, THAT SMALL BOOK, AND TO
LOOSE THE SEALS AND CONTENTS?" The heavens were
again quiet, and no man in heaven nor in the earth, neither
37. under the earth was able to open the Book, neither to look
thereon. And John the Divine said he wept because no man
was found worthy to open and to read the Book, neither to
look thereon.
ONLY THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH COULD OPEN THE
BOOK
And one of the elders consoled him saying: "weep not,
behold the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, the root of David has
prevailed to open the Book, and to loose the seven seals
thereof and to read the contents. Of a truth the Lion
emerged, and opened the Book removing the seals and read
the contents.”( Rev 5:5) That explains why it was declared
that every creature in heaven and on earth and under the
earth and such as are in the sea and all that are in them join
their voices saying: "let blessing, and honor, and glory and
power be unto Him that sits upon the Throne and unto the
Lamb forever and ever." If He did not prevail to open the
Book and read the content, the world would have perished.
THE SMALL BOOK SYMBOLIZES THE BIBLE
He has imparted His Teachings, doctrines and lessons from
Genesis to Revelation of John the Divine, but is there any
person who is able to practice the lessons? The little Book
is the Bible we read every day. See the whites with their
high education and wisdom? Who among them can practice
the Word of God? Mention one of them. No person is able to
practice the contents of the Bible. And if the whites cannot
38. practice, will the Blacks do it? Can a black man with a black
heart and black vision practice the contents of the Bible?
Our Lord Jesus Christ says: "I AM THE WAY, THE LIFE AND
THE TRUTH; AND NO PERSON COMES TO THE FATHER
EXCEPT BY ME.” (John 14:6). Your joy is not full. You are
very insolent when you claim to have done anything. From
where have you derived the power? Who has given you the
ability? Can you open the Book and read the contents of it?
That small Book which Daniel was ordered to close ("But
thou O, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the Book even to
the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and
knowledge shall be increased," (Dan 12:4) could not be
opened, and it is only at this fullness of time that the Lion of
the Tribe of Judah, has prevailed to open the Book. Mention
any one in the world who has practiced one of the Teachings
in the Book? THERE IS NONE. He has said every time, "love
your enemies, pray fervently for them. If somebody slaps you
on one cheek, turn to him the other. Do not resist an evil
doer." (Matt 5:44). Love one another (John 13:34) as you love
yourself; and many others. Mention one person who has
practiced these lessons. Think that it is so simple to
practicalize the Word of God?
OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU, THE LION OF JUDAH
YOU WILL TAKE NOTE THAT I AM NEITHER ADAM, NOR
ABRAHAM, NOR MOSES, NOR ELIJAH, NOR JOHN THE
BAPTIST, NOR JESUS, NOR PETER, NOR JOHN, NOR PAUL.
BUT I AM THAT I AM. HAVE I NOT PRACTICED THE WORD
39. OF GOD? I HAVE OPENED THE BOOK. I HAVE CLOSED AND
REOPENED IT. I HAVE EMPTIED IT AND TURNED IT UPSIDE
DOWN. I HAVE REVEALED THE CONTENTS. I HAVE
PRACTICED AND I HAVE TAUGHT YOU. WHAT THEN
REMAINS?
EVERY PERSON HAS TESTIFIED THAT THE LEADER
PREACHES THE REAL WORD OF GOD, PRACTICES THE
WORD, AND THAT HE IS A REAL MAN OF GOD. YES, THAT IS
MY QUALIFICATION. BUT SEARCH THROUGHOUT THE
WORLD AND MENTION ANY PERSON WHO CAN OPEN AND
READ AND PRACTICE THE CONTENT OF THE LITTLE BOOK.
Adam came to the world, married a wife but because of
fornication both of them fell out of the grace of God. Both
John the Baptist and Our Lord Jesus Christ came and had no
wives, and yet could not practice the Word of God. BUT I
COME WITH BROTHERS, SISTERS AND EVERY OTHER
THING, BUT I AM ABLE TO PRACTICE THE WORD TO THE
SATISFACTION OF EVERYBODY. Somebody going to remain
at a place for a short time goes with only a briefcase. But a
person who goes to live in a place as his final home must go
there bag and baggage.
HE WHO BELIEVES IN ME SHALL DO GREATER WORKS
(John 14:12)
Our Lord Jesus Christ had only 12 disciples, but consider our
present situation where there are disciples in all States of
the Federation and in India, Britain, America, Ghana, Liberia,
40. Cameroon, and many other places. What do you think about
that sort of man? Is there any act of sin you have not
committed, and has any person reprimanded you? Do you
have any problems since your sojourn in this Kingdom? If
you carry any of the equipment away, no person will prevent
you from carrying it away. You will be encouraged to take it
and the next. It will be replaced by many similar properties.
When you find yourself in such a situation, will you not be
weak and discouraged?
Lazarus died and Our Lord Jesus Christ wept. If you compare
the situation with what happens in this Kingdom, would you
say that my eyes would ever be dry of tears as a result of
the number of people who die from day to day?
When He preached to people, those who did not repent He
cursed and pronounced woe on them. (Matt 11:21). Today
the Word of God is preached to the people that they should
refrain from sin. But you stay before Me and steal, and
quarrel, and fight. Have you ever been suspended or
punished? He took a whip in the temple and walloped those
who bought and sold and changed in the temple. Of course,
He was correct to have done that because He was the Son
of God, and God Himself, and so He made no mistake. There
is no mistake with God. I am only pointing out to you the
Teaching He Himself has set out.
41. I PREACH AND PRACTICE THE WORD OF GOD
GO AND TAKE YOUR BIBLE AND OPEN FROM GENESIS TO
REVELATION. YOU WILL DISCOVER THAT I HAVE
OVERWORKED MYSELF. I HAVE BISECTED THE CONTENTS
OF THE BIBLE. I HAVE TURNED IT UPSIDE DOWN, AND I
HAVE PRACTICED ALL THE WORDS NOMINATE IN THE
BIBLE. I AM NOT THE CHRIST. I AM NOT GOD, NOR AM I
JOHN, NOR THE PROPHET, NOR AN ELDER, NOR ANY
OTHER THING. I AM NEITHER A MAN NOR AN APPARITION.
BUT ONE THING I KNOW IS THAT I HAVE PREACHED THE
WORD OF GOD, AND I HAVE IMPARTED THIS GOSPEL OF
GOD TO THE ENTIRE WORLD. IF THERE IS ANY PERSON IN
THIS WORLD OR IN ANOTHER WORLD WHO SAYS HE CAN
PRACTICE THE WORD OF GOD LET HIM COME OUT AND
SHOW HIMSELF. IF THERE IS ANY PERSON, WHETHER AN
ANGEL OR SPIRIT OR AN APPARITION, BRING HIM TO ME.
HAVE I EVER SUSPENDED ANY MEMBER, OR HAVE I EVER
CURSED ANY PERSON? HAVE I EVER EXPELLED YOU?
WHATEVER HAS HAPPENED, I ONLY EMBRACE YOU, NO
MATTER WHAT YOU COMMIT; BECAUSE THE WORD OF GOD
DIRECTS THAT I SHOULD EMBRACE SUCH A PERSON SINCE
I AM ENJOINED NOT TO RESIST AN EVILDOER. What about
you? Have you not been resisting the evildoer? If you feel it
is that simple, demonstrate it to the notice of people. A
great many of you have remained here for more than twenty
(20) years, and you have been advised to refrain from theft,
fornication, exasperation, falsehood. But you have not
refrained from these, or forsaken sin and not to begrudge
42. any person. Have you been able to refrain from sin in order
to practice the Word of God?
BOAST NOT IN CARNAL THINGS
I DO NOT BOAST IN MONEY. I HAVE NO MONEY. I HAVE
NOTHING; BUT I BOAST IN PRACTICING THE WORD OF GOD.
I WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOU CATEGORICALLY THAT I HAVE
OPENED THAT LITTLE BOOK. I HAVE READ THE CONTENTS,
I HAVE PRACTISED THE WORDS, AND I HAVE TAUGHT
OTHERS TO PRACTICE THEM, AND I HAVE REVEALED
EVERY SECRET THING TO YOU. THAT IS WHAT WAS
WRITTEN ABOUT ME, AND THAT IS THE PURPOSE FOR
WHICH I CAME. The Bible says: "sell all you have, and
distribute the money to the poor;" (Matt 19:21) and you think
that the statement was a parable. Who tells you it was a
parable? It is no parable. It is nothing but the truth. You
should go and sell all that you have. There is no joke about
this. Refrain from theft, falsehood, fornication, quarreling,
and other acts of sin. Forsake all your ways of life, your
behaviors and idiosyncrasies. Forsake your house, clothes,
motor cars, wife, husband, children and indeed your life.
Otherwise you are not worthy of this Kingdom. Again, it is
said, if any man come to Me, and hate not his father, and
mother, and wife and children, and brethren and sister; yea,
and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. (Luke 14:26).
The golden text should be a source of happiness and joy to
you. You should rejoice; indeed all the elements do rejoice.
HEAVEN IS REJOICING AND EARTH IS REJOICING EXCEPT
43. MAN. IT IS A TRUISM THAT MAN SHOULD REJOICE
BECAUSE THE LITTLE BOOK HAS BEEN OPENED AND READ,
AND THE CONTENTS PRACTICED, AND THE SAME
IMPARTED TO YOU. THE IMPLICATION IS THAT ALL OF YOU
ARE SAVED. I DO NOT MINCE WORD THAT YOU WILL BE
SAVED, BUT THAT YOU ARE SAVED, EXCEPT THERE IS A
CHILD OF PERDITION IN YOUR MIDST.
WITH THE READING OF THE BOOK YOU ARE SAVED
GOD DID NOT COVENANT THAT HE WILL THROUGH TWO
PERSONS SAVE THE WORLD. BUT HE SAID HE WOULD
THROUGH ONE PERSON SAVE THE WORLD. (Rom 5:19). AS
LONG AS SOMEBODY HAS OPENED AND READ THE SMALL
BOOK, IF YOU BELIEVE IN THE FELLOW WHO CAN READ
THE BOOK, THEN YOU ARE SAVED. YOU BECOME FREE,
WHETHER OR NOT YOU PUT THE WORD OF GOD INTO
PRACTICE. SINCE SOMEONE HAS SUCCESSFULLY OPENED
AND READ THE BOOK, YOU ARE ENTIRELY FREE. THERE IS
NO OTHER BOOK FROM WHERE YOU CAN READ AND GET
SALVATION. YOU HAVE HOWEVER REMAINED HERE FOR 20
TO 40 YEARS, AND YET CANNOT PRACTICE THE GOSPEL,
BUT YOU ARE FREE, SINCE THE SMALL BOOK HAS BEEN
OPENED AND READ.
I AM NOT THE PERSON READING BUT THE FATHER, OUR
LORD JESUS CHRIST. BUT YOU DO NOT SEE HIM. He opens,
removes the seals, reads the contents and practices them.
But you do not see Him. We should glorify the Father and
magnify His Name. We should no longer ask questions. Do
44. not be sad and sorrowful. Do not doubt God who has
revealed Himself to you and the entire world.
OUT OF THE FULLNESS OF THE HEART THE MOUTH
SPEAKS (MATT 12:34)
MANY OF YOU STAND BEFORE PEOPLE AND DECLARE THAT
THE FATHER IS THE LORD JESUS CHRIST INCARNATE.
WHEN YOU DO THIS, HAS ANY PERSON DISTURBED YOU?
YOU HAVE STOOD BEFORE PEOPLE IN THE STREET AND
MARKET PLACE AND DECLARED THAT THE FATHER IS THE
ALMIGHTY GOD. NO PERSON ASKS ANY QUESTIONS. HAVE
YOU REMEMBERED THAT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST ONLY
DECLARED THAT HE WAS THE SON OF GOD, AND THE
PEOPLE KILLED HIM? BUT TODAY YOU DECLARE THAT THE
LEADER IS OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, OR HE IS GOD. NO
PERSON ASKS ANY QUESTION. NONE RAISES AN
EYEBROW. ANOTHER PERSON WILL RISE UP AND DECLARE
HIM AS THE ALMIGHTY GOD WHO MADE HEAVEN AND
EARTH. BUT NO PERSON WILL BANDY WORDS WITH HIM.
NOW THERE ARE THREE WHICH BEAR WITNESS IN HEAVEN.
THEY ARE THE FATHER, THE WORD, AND THE SPIRIT. ALL
THREE AGREE. (1 JOHN 5:7).
HE HAS A NAME NO ONE ELSE KNOWS (REV 19:12)
NOW IF YOU EVER SAY THAT THE LEADER IS JESUS
CHRIST, THOSE WHO LOOK AT YOU WILL REGISTER A
DIRTY SLAP ON YOUR CHEEK, AND WOULD TELL YOU THAT
HE IS THE ALMIGHTY GOD, AND OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
45. IS ONLY HIS SON. HERE ALSO WE HAVE ANOTHER SCHOOL
OF THOUGHT WHICH CLAIMS HIM AS CHRIST INCARNATE.
HE HAS COME BACK; AND THEY ARE VERY FIRM IN WHAT
THEY BELIEVE. OTHERS HERE ALSO CLAIM THAT HE IS
NOT THE CHRIST BUT THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE COMFORTER,
WHICH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST PROMISED HE WOULD
SEND. THOSE WHO HOLD THIS BELIEF ARE VERY STRONG,
THAT NO MATTER HOW STRONG THE WIND, THE STONE
WILL NOT BE MOVED; COME RAIN, COME SUNSHINE.
WHO IS THE FATHER? IS HE NOT THE SON? AND WHO IS
THE HOLY SPIRIT? IS HE NOT THE SON? THEN WHAT IS
YOUR ARGUMENT? THIS EQUATION WILL ACTUALLY
PROVE THE POINT. 0+0+0=0; 0-0-0=0. WHY DO YOU BOTHER
YOURSELF UNNECESSARILY? SOME REFER TO HIM AS A
WONDERFUL MAN. WHAT IS THE MEANING OF YOUR
ARGUMENT? THE ANSWER IS STILL THE NOUGHT.
TO OBEY IS BETTER THAN SACRIFICE (1 SAM 15:22)
"Moses truly said unto the fathers, a prophet shall the Lord
your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me,
Him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever He shall say unto
you. And it shall come to pass that every soul which will not
hear that prophet shall be destroyed from amongst the
people." (Acts 3:22-23). If therefore you argue that he is a
prophet, it is still the same thing. It is the same "O". If you
call Him a wonderful man it still serves the nought. If you
call Him a man of God, it is still the same nought. Call Him
Bishop or Pastor or Apostle, it is still the same. What you
46. will go away with is that we all should rejoice because in
God all of us are saved and redeemed. Do not be sad and
sorrowful that you are alone without relations; or that you
are lost or that the country is not auguring well. Since the
Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit has come down to this
Earth at this end of time, the whole world is saved. The only
proviso is that you should not indulge in any act of sin. If you
have been a thief, a liar, a murderer, a whoremonger,
abstain yourself from the vices because the owner of the
vineyard has come. (Eph 4:28). HE DWELLS IN OUR BODIES.
We have a guide always. Wherever He sends you do not
disobey. Wherever He takes you to, follow and do not doubt
because, being His instrument, He can take us to any place.
The world will be bamboozled for what He will do with the
world. Do not ask for anything, but glorify Him. Give Him
thanks in all things. This is the time for all creation
(everything) to thank Him, glorify Him and serve Him.
Brethren, I do not intend to be tedious unto you. One stroke
of the cane is sufficient for the wise. Those who have ears
let them hear. May God bless His Words. Amen.
THANK YOU HOLY FATHER

Excerpt from the gospel: RETURN OF THE FIRST BEGOTTEN IN THE FLESH
47. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
GOD IS THE TREE OF LIFE
The saying that whoever believes in Him has eternal life
infers that whoever practices His teachings will live
eternally. When Adam and Eve ate of the forbidden fruit, God
said, “Behold man is become as one of us, to know good and
evil; and now lest he put forth his hand and take also of the
tree of life and eat, and live forever, therefore the Lord God
sent him forth from the Garden of Eden, to till the ground
from when he was taken. So He drove out the man, and he
placed at the east of the Garden of Eden, Cherubim, and a
flaming sword which turned every way to keep the way of
the tree of life.”
What is this tree of life? It is what you are receiving
today. Since that time there was no word of God. THE FIRST
PERSON TO PREACH THE WORD OF GOD IS OUR LORD
JESUS CHRIST. Abraham did not know what is called the
word of God. Neither Isaac nor Jacob knew except Our Lord
Jesus Christ WHO IS GOD. GOD IS THAT TREE OF LIFE. That
is why he says whoever believes in Him has eternal life. Has
Our Lord Jesus Christ not told you that He is the true vine
and His Father the husbandman? He added that the branch
in Him that does not bring forth fruit shall be cut off. But if
you abide in Him and He in you, you will bear much fruit. He
explained that apart from Him, you are cut off and withered
and thrown into the fire.
48. The Bread of Heaven one eats and lives forever is this
word of life. If you do not believe that you are a child of God
then whose child do you think you are? I am saying that the
whole world is made up of the children of God. Heaven and
earth belong to God, the fullness therein belong to God. The
Psalmist queries , “Who shall receive the blessing from the
Lord and who shall stand in His holy place? He that hath
clean hands; and a pure heart, who hath not lifted up his
soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the
blessing from the Lord and righteousness from the God of
his salvation.”
Do not regard Brotherhood of the Cross and Star as the
Apostolic, Presbyterian, or Qua Iboe church, neither as Islam
nor any organization in the world. This is the kingdom of
God. You have problems because you do not know that the
kingdoms of this world have become the kingdom of
Jehovah God and His Christ. If you were to know you would
not talk and walk and behave the way you like. Do you not
know that this is the era of the Holy Spirit. As many as are
led by the Spirit of God they are the children of God.

49. ALL BELIEVERS SHALL RECOGNIZE OUR LORD JESUS
CHRIST ON HIS SECOND COMING.
*OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS THE SAME YESTERDAY,
TODAY AND SHALL, FOREVER, REMAIN SO.
* This is in consonance with the action of someone who has
missed his brother for a long time. Of course, he will readily
assume or even embrace any person who resembles or
bears any semblance of that brother. There is a high
probability that his assumption is right, especially when the
person presumed to be his brother begins to exhibit some
familiar actions, such as asking about the family and other
personal matters.
*IN LIKE MANNER SHALL ALL BELIEVERS RECOGNIZE OUR
LORD JESUS CHRIST ON HIS SECOND COMING. ALREADY
YOU HAVE HEARD THAT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS THE
SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY AND SHALL, FOREVER, REMAIN
SO.
IN SEARCH OF CHRIST:
First Bible Lesson: Hebrews 7:24-26
"But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an
unchangeable priesthood. Wherefore he is able also to save
them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he
ever liveth to make intercession for them. For such a high
priest becomes us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled,
separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens."
50. Second Bible Lesson: Hebrews 1:6-9
"And again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the
world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
And of the angels he saith, who maketh his angels spirits,
and his ministers a flame of fire. But unto the Son he saith,
Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever: a septre of
righteousness is the septre of thy kingdom.Thou hast loved
righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy
God hath, anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy
fellows."
Golden Text: Hebrews 13:7-8 "Remember them which have
the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of
God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their
conversation. Jesus Christ the same, yesterday, and today,
and forever."
INTRODUCTORY SONG: I AM THAT PERSON SAVED BY THE
LORD.
DID CHRIST DIE?
When Our Lord Jesus Christ was in the world, and even after
His death and resurrection, no one understood His ways. At
times He appeared, may be, in the midst of two or three
persons, and before they knew it, He disappeared. He
appeared before Peter and the rest of them, and disappeared
in like manner. All these took place to confirm the local
adage which says cocoyam is cooked in accordance with its
specie. This is in consonance with the action of someone
51. who has missed his brother for a long time. Of course, he
will readily assume or even embrace any person who
resembles or bears any semblance of that brother. There is
a high probability that his assumption is right, especially
when the person presumed to be his brother begins to
exhibit some familiar actions, such as asking about the
family and other personal matters. IN LIKE MANNER SHALL
ALL BELIEVERS RECOGNIZE OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST ON
HIS SECOND COMING. ALREADY YOU HAVE HEARD THAT
OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS THE SAME YESTERDAY,
TODAY AND SHALL, FOREVER, REMAIN SO. Also the content
of our First Bible Lesson in Hebrews 7:24-26, has made Him
clear to us. So you have the duty of going home with today's
message and meditate over it.
I am only reminding you because if you recall the type of life
led by Our Lord Jesus Christ during His manifestation on
earth, and then compare it to what is now going on in the
world, you will only draw conclusions by yourself without
waiting for somebody else to reveal it to you. Even the First
Lesson has revealed that He is not dead even though people
claim that He is dead. Peter was a very powerful disciple yet
he argued that Our Lord Jesus Christ would not die. That
was when Our Lord Jesus Christ informed them that He
would die but resurrect on the third day. Peter's argument
was based on the fact the fact that it is written from the
beginning that Christ will not taste of death forever. (Matt
16:21-24). So as human, when he heard Christ pronounce
that He would die, he became confused and even doubted
52. whether Jesus was the real Christ or the Promised Messiah.
Thus, Peter contemplated within himself, "It was written
that He will not die, and if it happens that this very one will
die it means he is not the one. I have derailed from the right
path and my soul shall not be at peace."
What happened is that He died, and resurrected on the third
day. And the logic in the statement has to do with THE
TRANSFORMATION FROM THE FLESH TO THE SPIRIT. And
you could now hear what has been told us this day that He
lives forever. But all other churches believe and proclaim
that He is dead. The question is when did He die? Have they
not been seeing that portion in the scripture? Since you
continue to claim that Jesus Christ is beneath the earth, or
in the sky etc. have you not seen His work going on? Have
you ever seen the work of a dead man in the world going on
as smoothly as when he was alive? Once you die, all your
belongings are dead because the people you left behind will
misuse and mismanage them.
Who united the world? Recall that even when Our Lord Jesus
was born the world did not recognize Him but now has the
world not recognized Him? Many still do not believe in Him.
Here in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star WE BELIEVE IN
CHRIST IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH. SO WHENEVER YOU ARE
TALKING TO HIM, ADDRESS HIM AS IF HE IS FACING YOU
DIRECTLY AT THAT POINT IN TIME. WHENEVER YOU WANT
TO HAVE ANY DEALINGS WITH HIM, DO IT RIGHT AWAY
53. BECAUSE YOU HAVE SEEN HIM PHYSICALLY. DO NOT
FEAR.
Even now, He still appears at any time and any where He
likes. He is still healing the sick. That is why by singing
songs and rebuking the sickness, the sick get healed right.
This shows that He is the doer of all the activities carried on
here, the singing, dancing, praying etc. HE IS THE TEACHER
AND THE ADVISER.
If you doubt it, then I ask you, have you ever gone on any
workshop to train as a preacher? Have you ever gone to
India, America, Israel, or anywhere in the world to be trained
as a preacher? If no, then where did you acquire the wisdom
and truth with which most of you preach? Meanwhile, have
you ever seen a priest who is truthful? So He alone is
worthy, and He is the only Chief Priest. And forever He
remains the only Chief Priest, and none will ever emerge
again. SO YOU SHOULD NOT BE DECEIVED BY ANYBODY
WHO MAY RISE TOMORROW AND CLAIM TO BE THE CHIEF
PRIEST. For Our Lord Jesus Christ has taken His glorious
throne, and His glory has neither beginning nor an end. He is
the Great Teacher who has taken everybody to His Father.
I have been telling you to stop gazing at the sky, imagining
His likeness. Have you not seen His likeness within you.
Even in your bedroom He is always conversing deeply with
you. In the past, many people did not see Him, talk less of
conversing with Him. But now you have seen Him, you do
not see Him while sailing on the river or flying in the sky
54. alone, but you see Him wherever you go. Then what is the
sense of doubting Him?

CHRIST'S CRUCIFIXION MARKS THE BEGINNING OF NEW
LIFE :
* IN THE PAST, THERE WAS NO AEROPLANE; AND ALL THE
SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENT AND ALL
THE THINGS YOU ARE NOW SEEING, INCLUDING
CIVILIZATION STARTED ON THAT VERY DAY.
* HE DID REDEEM EVERYBODY HENCE THERE EXISTS NO
MORE DEATH, GNASHING OF TEETH ETC., AND HE LIVES
FOREVER. HE IS PRESENT EVEN RIGHT HERE. HE IS IN
YOU, IN OUR MIDST, HE IS BOTH PHYSICAL AND INVISIBLE.
* You can see that HE is referred to as 'HE' and not 'she' or
'it.' And the 'He' stands for a human being. Hence it is said:
when He shall come. SO HE IS NOW GOING ABOUT
EVERYWHERE AND AT THE SAME TIME ACCOMPLISHING
HIS WORK. That is why whenever you want to go on ministry
work, and you invite Him to follow you along, He does not
hesitate to go before and behind you.
55. * If the whites are capable of going to the moon, as well as
carrying out many acts to the amazement of many, then how
much more God? What do you think He cannot do? HE HAS
COME IN A HIDDEN WAY, HENCE NONE COULD SEE HIM.
The people of the world have tried to wage war against Him
but they have failed, so they restrict their move.
*THAT IS WHY I AM TELLING YOU THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT
IS RIGHT HERE AND WHENEVER YOU WANT TO DISCUSS
WITH HIM, DO SO WITH ALL AMOUNT OF ASSURANCE THAT
YOU ARE DISCUSSING FACE TO FACE WITH HIM. IF HE
WERE NOT HERE NO ONE WOULD HAVE LED YOU INTO THIS
KINGDOM.
I have been telling you to stop gazing at the sky, imagining

SPIRITUAL CHORUS:
HE IS THE KING OF KINGS. HE IS THE LORD OF LORDS.
JESUS CHRIST THE FIRST AND THE LAST NO ONE IS LIKE
HIM. HE MADE THE LAME TO WALK, HE MADE THE BLIND
TO SEE, HE MADE THE DEAD TO RISE, NO ONE IS LIKE HIM.
56. CHRIST'S CRUCIFIXION MARKS THE BEGINNING OF NEW
LIFE : Brethren, this is now His time; hence none can
withstand Him. The Spirit which descended on Him during
His baptism was a sign. That was why it was said that
whoever the spirit shall descend upon is the one who shall
baptize with spirit and with fire. The purpose of the Spirit
that descended upon Him was in order for people to say or
declare that He is the one. It is unlike when one declares or
proclaims that when you see some one putting on red, black
or immaculate white garment that he is the one. BUT THE
SIGN YOU ARE BEING TOLD IS A SPECIAL ONE THAT WAS
REVEALED TO JOHN TO ENABLE HIM TO IDENTIFY HIM.
(John 1:32-34). Remember when Our Lord Jesus Christ was
led into the wilderness to be tempted? But what was the
outcome of the temptations? Were they able to overcome
Him? Did He not overcome the temptations? THEN WHO IN
THE WORLD CAN WITHSTAND HIM? He walked freely on the
seas, He could appear before two or three persons, and even
greet them.
On the first day of His crucifixion, a mere calling on the
name of His Father around 3 p.m. something miraculous
happened. This is because it is said when the dead shall
hear the voice of the Son of Man they shall all rise. That
amongst them the righteous shall live in peace while the
sinners shall remain in judgment. Before this time, there was
no spirit because everybody ranging from Adam was still on
earth. They were taken by death and tortured by Hades.
57. That is why He came in order to go and gather them unto
salvation.(Heb 2:14-15/Eph 4:8)
IN THE PAST, THERE WAS NO AEROPLANE; AND ALL THE
SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENT AND ALL
THE THINGS YOU ARE NOW SEEING, INCLUDING
CIVILIZATION STARTED ON THAT VERY DAY. HE DID
REDEEM EVERYBODY HENCE THERE EXISTS NO MORE
DEATH, GNASHING OF TEETH ETC., AND HE LIVES
FOREVER. HE IS PRESENT EVEN RIGHT HERE. HE IS IN
YOU, IN OUR MIDST, HE IS BOTH PHYSICAL AND INVISIBLE.
You can see that HE is referred to as 'HE' and not 'she' or 'it.'
And the 'He' stands for a human being. Hence it is said:
when He shall come. SO HE IS NOW GOING ABOUT
EVERYWHERE AND AT THE SAME TIME ACCOMPLISHING
HIS WORK. That is why whenever you want to go on ministry
work, and you invite Him to follow you along, He does not
hesitate to go before and behind you. Do you think Peter was
responsible for all the work he did? Or do you think he was
going about alone? It was even after the crucifixion of Our
Lord Jesus Christ that Peter and even Paul became very
famous as far as the work of God is concerned. This shows
that He was the person accomplishing those works. Recall
how Peter was imprisoned and an angel came and set him
free by loosing the band on his hands and legs, as well as
opening the gate for him to go out? (Acts 12:3-11).
Who do you think was responsible for these things? There is
nothing that man can do to Him. Death itself has no
58. dominion over Him. Rather He can even kick death as one
kicks a football. The parable which referred to the kingdom
as the likeness of a grain of mustard seed signified Him. In
fact He was referring to Himself. Thus he said... (See Matt
13:31-32)
Brethren, is it not what you are now seeing? Do you think He
can at this moment enter into a woman's womb? Who is that
woman who can give birth to Him? Which community can He
live in? Who is capable of advising Him? He has assumed His
glorious seat, and has grown to an un-quantifiable and
indescribable extent. His glory has multiplied a hundredfold.
So, not even the wind, water, bird, or man can withstand His
power.
If He has overcome death as well as Hades then what do
you actually think about Him? Does it mean that He is now
in the sky? ARE YOU AWARE OF HIS PRESENCE? IS
ANYONE, THE WORLD OVER, AWARE OF HIS PRESENCE ON
EARTH? I AM TELLING YOU THAT JESUS THE CHRIST IS
PRESENT RIGHT HERE ON EARTH. HE IS THE PERSON
GETTING EVERYTHING PREPARED. THE PROBLEM IS THAT
HE HAS NOT COME THE WAY YOU EXPECTED.
If the whites are capable of going to the moon, as well as
carrying out many acts to the amazement of many, then how
much more God? What do you think He cannot do? HE HAS
COME IN A HIDDEN WAY, HENCE NONE COULD SEE HIM.
The people of the world have tried to wage war against Him
but they have failed, so they restrict their move. THAT IS
59. WHY I AM TELLING YOU THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT IS RIGHT
HERE AND WHENEVER YOU WANT TO DISCUSS WITH HIM,
DO SO WITH ALL AMOUNT OF ASSURANCE THAT YOU ARE
DISCUSSING FACE TO FACE WITH HIM. IF HE WERE NOT
HERE NO ONE WOULD HAVE LED YOU INTO THIS KINGDOM.
Even the whites who proclaim that Our Lord Jesus Christ is
dead are wrong, but I pray that God should forgive them.
Imagine such proclamation against somebody who is seated
on His throne.
As I have said earlier, this is a glorious time. That is why
even the whites and the great men of this earth can no
longer brag, for He is mightier than they are. We are His
witnesses hence you now have the power to kick these
great men of the world like professors, doctors, etc. with
your foot. This ability does not come from you but from OUR
LORD JESUS CHRIST. THIS IS THE VERY COMFORTER, OF
WHOM IT WAS PROPHESIED WOULD COME AND TEACH YOU
ALL THINGS AND CLARIFY ALL THINGS TO YOU. But for His
coming, who would have told you, or how would you know
what had taken place, or what will take place thousands of
years to come? Apart from Him, who in the world is loving,
powerful, and truthful? He has to accomplish His work and
He is the only priest that we have hence we are witnesses
to His glory. AND ALL THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN HIM HAVE
RECEIVED SALVATION.
SPIRITUAL CHORUS:
60. HE HAS COME IN A HIDDEN WAY BUT THE WORLD IS STILL
SEARCHING FOR HIM.
WE OWE HIM A DUTY
After Christ's resurrection, Mary Magdalene and the other
Mary went with spices to His grave. Unknown to them, they
saw someone who, they thought, was the gardener; but this
was Our Lord Jesus Christ whom they went to seek. They
asked Him for the corpse of Our Lord Jesus Christ. In fact,
Mary Magdalene did not recognize Him as Jesus Christ. He
later asked them to go and inform His disciples that He had
risen. Surprisingly, before Mary could get to where His
disciples were staying, He had already revealed Himself to
them. He appeared before the disciples and said, "Let peace
be with you." THEREFORE YOU SHOULD REALIZE THAT HE
IS THE COMFORTER AS WELL AS THE REDEEMER.
EVERYTHING COMES FROM HIM AND NOTHING, NOT EVEN
MAN, CAN WITHSTAND HIM. If you want to know more about
Him search the scriptures and read about all that happened
with the disciples, Mary Magdalene and others. So you
should learn your lesson from those events. HENCEFORTH
YOU SHOULD NOT CONTINUE TO SEARCH FOR HIM IN ANY
OTHER WAY, FOR HE IS EVERYWHERE. Even as you are
sitting down there, He is the person sitting there with you.
Even if it is a little child that you come across, He is the one
that you have seen. If you see a toy standing before you, He
is the person standing. He is the leaves, the birds you are
seeing. Do not share the same view with the people of the
61. world who say that Our Lord Jesus Christ is dead and buried
simply because they have not seen Him. It is because they
cannot see Him that prompted Him to advise that they
should not search for the living among the dead. Do you not
understand why He said to them, Why do you search for the
living among the dead? That He is not here but you should
go to Galilee, (Matt 28:8-10/Luke 24:5-6), for there you would
see Him. Since then, when did He die? Who saw His corpse
if really He is dead? Have you now seen how His ways elude
you? So you should not doubt Him any longer for He did
promise that He shall not leave you as orphans but He shall
live with you for eternity.
Therefore, He will neither taste of death nor sickness. He
does not lack and He is without blemish. There is no sin in
Him, no cunningness or craftiness in him; nothing like
sacrifice, but He lives forever. So you should be proud of
Him. Even before the whole world, stamp your feet on the
ground and proclaim the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Whatever pronouncement you make He is ready to
accomplish it for you. Recall when He fed thousands with
only five loaves and two fishes. This shows that there is
nothing He cannot do. Your problem is that you are skeptical
about whether He is dead or not, and whether He is coming
back again. Remember what Christ said in John 14:12. He
declared to us that when the Comforter shall come, He shall
reveal unto us everything, and at the same time lead us to
the accurate knowledge of truth. So this is our own key. We
owe a duty of revealing Him to the world.
62. SPIRITUAL CHORUS: I HAVE COME BY MYSELF, SENDING
NO ONE AND I WILL REVEAL MYSELF TO THE WORLD. I
HAVE COME NOT TO DIE AGAIN AS THOUGHT BY THE
WORLD. THEREFORE YOU SHOULD SING AND REJOICE FOR
I, THE KING, HAVE ASSUMED MY GLORY.……..
BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU THE SUPERNATURAL
TEACHER, AND SOLE SPIRITUAL HEAD OF THE UNIVERSE
BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR Excerpt from the
gospel: IN SEARCH OF CHRIST
………………………………………………………………………………………
IN THIS KINGDOM, THERE IS ONE SPIRIT, ONE TEACHER,
ONE LORD, ONE FATHER, ONE GOD ONE SON. THAT IS ALL.
SECOND BIBLE LESSON: JOHN 6:47
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on me hath
everlasting life.”
WORK OUT YOUR SALVATION:
Brethren, are you now aware of the Lord’s promise to
you? He has promised eternal life. Now that you are after
money, will it give you eternal life? You are looking for
children, will children give you eternal life? You want to
marry all the women in the world, will they give you eternal
life? But if you believe in the word of God, if you comply with
the teachings of God, and if you comply with God’s
instructions you have eternal life. Abandon all the teachings
of your former church denomination and the life which you
63. led there. Adjust to the teachings of this new kingdom. This
is the new kingdom of God and the condition is that we must
put new wine into new wineskin, new wine must be put into
new wine bottles. That is why Our Lord Jesus Christ said,
“Ye that have followed, in the regeneration, when the Son of
man shall sit on the throne of His glory ye shall also sit on
the twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”
In this kingdom of God there is no division, there is no
theft or robbery, not hatred, no egotism, no pride. “I came
from such and such a place,” does not come in here. It is
love alone which reigns here. It is oneness which exist
among the whole lot of us. THERE IS ONE FATHER FOR ALL;
THERE IS ONE GOD, ONE LORD, ONE TEACHER, ONE SON
OF GOD AND SO THERE IS NO DIVISION. What then are you
scrambling for? How are you better off than the other friend?
The kingdoms of the world have become the kingdom of
Jehovah God and His Christ and He shall reign forever and
ever. NEITHER A MAN NOR A WOMAN WILL RULE BUT IT IS
ONLY OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WHO IS ALL AND IN ALL.
AND BRETHREN IF YOU BELIEVE IN HIS REIGN, YOU WILL
NO LONGER TELL LIES OR CAUSE DIVISION. WHAT THEN
ARE YOU SCRAMBLING FOR? HOW ARE YOU BETTER OFF
THAN THE OTHER PERSON? AGAIN, NEITHER A MAN OR A
WOMAN WILL RULE BUT IT IS ONLY OUR LORD JESUS
CHRIST WHO IS ALL AND IN ALL.
And so brethren, if you brethren, you believe in his
reign, you will no longer tell lies or cause division. You will
64. not claim you come from Nigeria, America or Britain. You
will not claim to be black or white or colored. When you
behave this way, it means you do not believe in his reign. If
you believe in Our Lord Jesus Christ then you will reign with
Him. If you do not believe in Our Lord Jesus Christ, you will
receive eternal punishments for it has been written, “Those
mine enemies which do not wish that I rule over them, bring
them here and slay them before me.”
God does not like divisions, He does not like
oppression, He does not like quarreling, He does not like
fighting, He does not like idolatry. God does not like
drinking, he does not like anything evil. As he has
instructed, man’s food should be the seed bearing fruits, and
we are now going back to that instruction.
You are true witnesses to the fact that an empty bag
cannot stand erect. It is also true that a bag which is full
cannot fall down. If we do not surrender ourselves
completely to God, He cannot use us. So long as you have
forsaken and removed the old things from you, you can then
surrender to God. YOU HAVE BEEN IN BROTHERHOOD OF
THE CROSS AND STAR FOR TWENTY YEARS BUT YOU
CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE FOR GLORY. YOU STRUGGLE TO
HEAD A FELLOWSHIP, YOU STRUGGLE TO BE THE
CHAIRMAN OF THIS AND THE CHAIRMAN OF THAT. WHEN
YOU SUCCEED IN YOUR STRUGGLES THEN YOU BECOME
ARROGANT.
65. What has Christ said? He said, “Abide in me even as I
abide in you. Without me you can bear no fruit.” For all these
years you have been living as you pleased, what good do you
reap? Upon all the church denominations in the world, what
good has come to the world? Upon all the secret societies in
the world, what good has come to the world? Upon all the
cities that spring up in the world, what good have the cities
done? Look at all the governments and firms around the
whole world, what useful purpose do they serve? They
oppress, cheat, kill, steal, hate, and quarrel. That is what is
prevalent in the whole world.
It is said the Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of
the Lord is there is liberty. IN THIS KINGDOM, THERE IS
ONE SPIRIT, ONE TEACHER, ONE LORD, ONE FATHER, ONE
GOD ONE SON. THAT IS ALL. You cannot know what is in
this kingdom unless you refrain from sin. Secondly, you must
begin to practice righteousness before you can behold the
goodness of this kingdom. Here there is one Lord and the
Holy Spirit is the ruler in all the heavens and the earth. No
person has any say in this kingdom. All wealth belong to
God. All wisdom is His alone and He has all power.
Do not call any person your child in this world; God
alone has the children. That is why He has said that you
should not call any person Father because one is your
Father, even God and you are all brethren. You are all
brothers and sisters.
66. The instructions He has given to us is that we should
not resist an evil doer. If we believe in Him, then we will not
fight an evil doer, and you will have eternal life. If someone
strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him also the left
cheek. When you do this you have eternal life. If someone
compels you to walk a mile with him, go with him, two mile.
If you do this then you have eternal life. It is said blessed
are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of
God. Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God.
The saying that whoever believes in Him has eternal life
infers that whoever practices His teachings will live
eternally. When Adam and Eve ate of the forbidden fruit, God
said, “Behold man is become as one of us, to know good and
evil; and now lest he put forth his hand and take also of the
tree of life and eat, and live forever, therefore the Lord God
sent him forth from the Garden of Eden, to till the ground
from when he was taken. So He drove out the man, and he
placed at the east of the Garden of Eden, Cherubim, and a
flaming sword which turned every way to keep the way of
the tree of life.”
What is this tree of life? It is what you are receiving
today. Since that time there was no word of God. THE FIRST
PERSON TO PREACH THE WORD OF GOD IS OUR LORD
JESUS CHRIST. Abraham did not know what is called the
word of God. Neither Isaac nor Jacob knew except Our Lord
Jesus Christ WHO IS GOD. GOD IS THAT TREE OF LIFE. That
is why he says whoever believes in Him has eternal life. Has
67. Our Lord Jesus Christ not told you that He is the true vine
and His Father the husbandman? He added that the branch
in Him that does not bring forth fruit shall be cut off. But if
you abide in Him and He in you, you will bear much fruit. He
explained that apart from Him, you are cut off and withered
and thrown into the fire.
The Bread of Heaven one eats and lives forever is this
word of life. If you do not believe that you are a child of God
then whose child do you think you are? I am saying that the
whole world is made up of the children of God. Heaven and
earth belong to God, the fullness therein belong to God. The
Psalmist queries , “Who shall receive the blessing from the
Lord and who shall stand in His holy place? He that hath
clean hands; and a pure heart, who hath not lifted up his
soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the
blessing from the Lord and righteousness from the God of
his salvation.”
Do not regard Brotherhood of the Cross and Star as the
Apostolic, Presbyterian, or Qua Iboe church, neither as Islam
nor any organization in the world. This is the kingdom of
God. You have problems because you do not know that the
kingdoms of this world have become the kingdom of
Jehovah God and His Christ. If you were to know you would
not talk and walk and behave the way you like. Do you not
know that this is the era of the Holy Spirit. As many as are
led by the Spirit of God they are the children of God.
68. The bethels have problems because those who are
presiding over them are not kept there by God. Every person
behaves according to the dictate of the flesh, mind, and by
the desire of his heart, (Ephesians 2:3). Yet they claim to be
Brotherhood. The moment people leave my presence, you
will not see the practice of Brotherhood. Even in the guest
house which is very close by, because if you go to the guest
house, there is somebody who will beat you up, another
person will be eyeing you. As soon as you get out my
presence, no one practices what is taught here. You will see
another version of Brotherhood.
The Scripture says, “We are the children of God but it
does not appear what we shall be: But we know that when
he shall appear we shall be like him; for we shall see him as
He is.” The behaviors you are exhibiting, where do you learn
them from? Do you learn them from here? Because it is said
what a son sees in the father that he adopts. When the Jews
accused Our Lord Jesus Christ that because He healed on a
Sabbath day He was not the Son of God, what did Our Lord
Jesus Christ answer? He answered and said to them, “My
Father worketh hitherto I work because the son do nothing
of himself.”
All of you in this fold, the ordained ones, elders,
choristers, etc is what you are doing exactly the Father
does? What are you thinking now, is it what the Father is
thinking? It is said when you see the dead man, tears will
roll down from your eyes. Now you have seen the dead man,
69. where are your tears? You are still engaging in fraud,
cheating, fornication and causing division among you. Are
these the things which apply in the kingdom of God? THE
KINGDOM OF GOD DOES NOT CONSIST OF EATING,
DRINKING; IT IS LOVE, PEACE, JOY, PATIENCE,
RIGHTEOUSNESS, SELF-CONTROL, AND JOY IN THE HOLY
SPIRIT. This is not the time to go about preaching. This is
the time for practical Christianity. I have never instructed
anybody not to come here with shoes, ties and watch. You
come in with all these things but when you do see me
without any of these things you will re-arrange yourself. But
in your case when you leave this place you practice another
thing.
If you believe in God you will realize that God created
man in His own image and God told man to rule over all the
animal, including the fishes. God did not tell you to kill and
eat the animals. But today, you as a Brotherhood member
continue to kill and eat the fishes. The only food God
recommended for man is the fruit bearing seed. You are to
eat fruits alone. And God added a new commandment, that
we may love one another even as Christ loved us; for if you
love one another, the whole world will know that you are His
disciples. The issue does not call for prolonged preaching. It
hangs on love.
Love does not wrong to his neighbor, love does not
dupe nor deceive, love does not charge for services
rendered. Today when you give somebody a vision, you
70. collect money from him. When you heal someone of his
sickness, you charge money. Is that the way of love? If you
had love would you say that another person is not
Brotherhood or would say other churches are not
Brotherhood? What are they then? If you had love would you
impute sin on others? Would you say you have nothing to do
with that thief or fornicator or murderer because he is not a
Brotherhood. If they are not Brotherhood then what are
they?
Christ said, “Come unto me all ye that labor and are
heavy laden and I will give you rest.” In Brotherhood of the
Cross and Star, there is no divisive tendency. No
discrimination and no segregation. I do not say this church
is this or that. I know you as one. Whenever you come
across these persons, show them this truth, show them love,
show them humility and self-control. Shine to them in all
ways, not because you seek for praise but because you are
the children of the Kingdom. If we practice the word of God
as He has given us the instructions, you will see that the
promise of God will be fulfilled in us when things will be
regenerated.
If we forsake theft, lying, deceit, cunning ways, worldly
glory and surrender ourselves wholly to God, if we serve God
and practice His word, then things shall be made anew we
will have our share of His promise, in the name of Our Lord
Jesus Christ. YOUR PROBLEM IS THAT YOU ARE SEEKING
FOR GLORY. NO MAN CAN GIVE YOU ANY GLORY. GLORY IS
71. IN THE HANDS OF GOD AND YOU ARE IN THE KINGDOM YET
YOU ARE LOOKING FOR ANOTHER GLORY OUTSIDE. You
are carrying the carcass of an elephant on your head but you
are fiddling with your toes looking for snails. How much will
you sell these snails for? If you were to realize what is in
this kingdom, you would have sold all that you have and you
would have distributed the money to the poor. Because the
promise is for those who have forsaken all these things.
When all these things have been made anew, His promise
will be fulfilled in you.
Do you think Our Lord Jesus Christ was a stupid man?
Or do you think that Peter and the rest of them who forsook
all things were foolish? You who go about seeking and
struggling for the things of the world, do you think you are
wise? The Golden Text explains what lies in store for all
those who keep God’s instructions.

Excerpt from the gospel: PROMISE OF ETERNAL LIFE
………………………………………………………………………………………
YOUR REWARD IS GREAT:
IT IS WRITTEN THAT ON HIS HEAD ARE MANY CROWNS
WHICH HE GIVES TO THOSE WHO CONQUER WITH HIM.
72. * AND I TELL YOU, THERE IS NO POSITION OR GLORY
APART FROM THE ONE HE HAS AND HE ALONE GIVES TO
THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN HIM. FOR IT IS WRITTEN THAT ON
HIS HEAD ARE MANY CROWNS WHICH HE GIVES TO THOSE
WHO CONQUER WITH HIM.
* IF HE IS NOT KNOWN, NO PERSON WILL KNOW YOU. IF WE
FORSAKE EVERYTHING AND COMPLY WITH HIS
INSTRUCTIONS, WE SHALL BE GLORIFIED WITH HIM AND
EVERYTHING WILL BE GIVEN TO US; IN ADDITION, WE WILL
HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. YOU KEEP ON ASKING PEOPLE,
“WHERE IS MY GLORY?” AND I ASK YOU WHERE IS THE
GLORY OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST?
GOLDEN TEXT: MATTHEW 19:28-29
“And Jesus said unto them verily I say unto you, that ye
which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son
of man shall sit in the throne of His glory, ye shall also sit
upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And
every one that hath forsaken houses or brethren, or sisters,
or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands for my
name’s sake, shall receive an hundred fold, and shall inherit
eternal life.”
YOUR REWARD IS GREAT:
Brethren, the above excerpt reveals God’s promise to
all those who believe in Him. As enumerated, if you practice
the injunction, when the Son of man shall sit on the throne
of His glory, you will also have a kingdom to rule. YOU WILL
73. HAVE YOUR SHARE IN HIS WEALTH AND IN ADDITION YOU
WILL HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE A
JESUS OR JEHOVAH OR SPIRIT BEFORE YOU HEED THIS
INJUNCTION. THE PROMISE IS THAT IF YOU COMPLY WITH
ALL HIS INSTRUCTIONS, WHEN THINGS SHALL BE
REGENERATED, YOU WILL SIT WITH OUR LORD JESUS
CHRIST, JUDGING THE TWELVE TRIBES OF ISRAEL. In
addition those who have forsaken houses, brethren, sisters,
father, mother, wife, children, or lands for His name’s sake
shall inherit everlasting life.
It is said, “Seek ye first the glory of God and Christ and
all other things shall be added unto you.”
Do you think that if He did not seek first righteousness
from the throne of His Father, He would be glorified? You
who go about deceiving and defrauding people, looking for
the things of this world, you do not want to work, but you
are robbing Peter to pay Paul, do you think if you do not
refrain from all the things in the world, you will ever see Him
and sit with Him and judge the twelve tribes of Israel? IF HE
IS NOT KNOWN, NO PERSON WILL KNOW YOU. IF WE
FORSAKE EVERYTHING AND COMPLY WITH HIS
INSTRUCTIONS, WE SHALL BE GLORIFIED WITH HIM AND
EVERYTHING WILL BE GIVEN TO US; IN ADDITION, WE WILL
HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. YOU KEEP ON ASKING PEOPLE,
“WHERE IS MY GLORY?” AND I ASK YOU WHERE IS THE
GLORY OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST? The government does
not know Christ. The Whites do not know Christ, neither do
