SOLE SPIRITUAL HEAD OF THE UNIVERSE
BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR
You need to see Father help and console the bereaved in the heart. He would say:
I have told you many times that when anybody sleeps in the Lord, you
should not keep mourning houses, you shquld not cry and yell, you
should not entertain people with drinks, do everything in the
Brotherhood way. Brotherhood has the correct method of organising the
occasion. Refrain from the native law and custom. You cannot please the
world and God at the same time. When you try to please the world, you
have displeased God, and when you try to please God you certainly will
displease the world; but it is more profitable to please God than to please
the world.
Any business venture with the people of the world is a great loss to
you. If you contribute periodically a little sum of money with the people
of the world, you will give them ydur own share, but they would not give
you your own because they know that Brotherhood members do not
go to court. When you ask them they will jest at you and tell you to go to
court. We do not keep mourning houses, we do not drink, we do not
smoke cigarette, we do not -observe tradition,
why then do you buy
drinks, cigarette and keep the tradition and customs of your village?
Now you are receiving double punishment for yourselves. You are
celebrating feasts for members of Brotherhood and at the same time you
are buying drinks for people of the world, what is your gain? Is the feast
which you make in Brotherhood not greater than all those things they
make in the world? You should adhere strictly to the doctrine of
Brotherhood when someone sleeps in the Lord. Keep vigil night where you
sing for the soul of the departed; and on the following day you carry the
remains of the departed to the last resting place. Thereafter, you keep
prayers for seven days. That is good for the soul of the departed person.
Do you know that you are being watched and emulated by the world.
You fear People of the world and say that your 'tate parents were elderly
people 'ill the family, that is why you keep mourning houses, and hold
memorial service and wake-keeping for them. In conforming with the
traditions of men you perish and your brethren perish also. You would
see people rushing into Brotherhdod because of our ways of doing
things. We only eat groundnuts, biscuits, bananas and sugar cane, which
is very simple. That is why other wealthy people would not join us. They
know that in Brotherhood people are not extravagant, they would chose
Presbyterian or Catholic where they would spend on drjnks and
entertainment in order to boost their ego.
DO NOT DRINK OR OFFER WINE

You have been advised never to put on ear-rings and necklaces, but
when you come in here you remove them and put in your hand bags and
when you go out from here you put them on again on the pretext that you
are wearing them to the office. Does it mean that if you do not wear ear
rings you would not be paid your salaries? Do you not know that when
you. put on the ear-rings you are disgracing God; many people have
realised that Brotherhood is teaching the truth and they uphold the truth,
de away with this practice.

Luk 9:60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury
their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of
God.
Luk 9:61 And another also said, Lord, I will follow
thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which
are at home at my house.
Luk 9:62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having
put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit
for the kingdom of God.
them.
Mar 6:14 And king Herod heard of him; (for his name
was spread abroad:) and he said, That John the
Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore
mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.
Mar 6:15 Others said, That it is Elias. And others
said, That it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.
Mar 6:16 But when Herod heard thereof, he said, It
is John, whom I beheaded: he is risen from the
dead.
Mar 6:17 For Herod himself had sent forth and laid
hold upon John, and bound him in prison for
Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife: for he had
married her.
Mar 6:18 For John had said unto Herod, It is not
lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife.
Mar 6:19 Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against
him, and would have killed him; but she could not:
Mar 6:20 For Herod feared John, knowing that he
was a just man and an holy, and observed him; and
when he heard him, he did many things, and heard
him gladly.
Joh 4:35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and
then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift
up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are
white already to harvest.
Joh 4:36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and
gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that
soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
Joh 4:37 And herein is that saying true, One soweth,
and another reapeth.
Joh 4:38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye
bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye
are entered into their labours.

EXCERPT FROM: MYSTERY OF DEATH
Our Mistakes
You err when you say that Brotherhood comes from
Nigeria, or from Calabar, or from Biakpan; or that
Olumba Olumba Obu is the owner. You also err when
you say that you go to plant Brotherhood. Is it
plantain or yam? You also err when you claim that
you are ruling Brotherhood? Do you rule Brotherhood
or does Brotherhood rule you?
He teaches us and forgives our sins. He changes and
reforms us. He feeds us and teaches us to love one
another. What is the work you have done? It is for
the whole world to rejoice because Brotherhood
does not emanate from any person. You may leave
me out but go and live in peace and love with one
another. That is what the Holy Spirit has brought.
The first man was Adam. Were there no other
names? But it was started with Adam and Eve.
Everything has got a beginning. Today are Adam and
Eve with us? What do you lose and what does Adam
lose? It is said that many people run in a race but
only one person receives the prize.

FUNERALS IN BCS:
Once you have been baptized you have become one
with God and you have been made clean and
therefore you should have nothing to so with drink,
corpse, even if it is that of your mother or father.
Read Numbers 6:1-8
Have you heard that, it is said, let the dead bury
the dead, but you should go and preach the glory of
God. You have heard that when Our Lord Jesus
Christ was arrested all His disciples ran away. When
He was nailed to the cross it was Joseph of
Arimathia who went and requested His body from
Pilate, none of the disciples went because it was

FATHER CONSOLES:
You need to see Father help and console the
bereaved in the heart. He would say: "Weep not, your
relation is not dead, death is a cruel word, there is
nothing like it. He has finished his assignment, he
needs the flesh no more. Beyond your sight is
another task for him, after that task he passes on to
yet another task till he attains the crown of a perfect
life, and where he has gone all shall go.
If you harbor any grief, and give way to sorrow in
your heart, these sentiments will grow greater and
you will be nothing but grief. Help your relation, for
he seeks solace now more than ever. He is glad
when you are glad, and sad when you are sad. Rise
up bury your woes, and smile at grief, and then help
others bury their tears."
Brethren, is this not enough to relieve the broken
hearted? For other church leaders, instead of their
doing this they will rather dupe the bereaved by
keeping mourning houses, drinking to death, and
committing different havocs and leaving the
bereaved penniless with more grief. Leader Obu is a
REPENTANCE:
QUICK TO REPENT:
REPENT:
A Functional Body
* One would not repent because of the amount of
Gospel that is preached to him or because of the
service that you render to him.
*You could be benevolent to somebody and would
endeavour to render services to him, yet he would
not repent.
* The person who would repent needs very little
Gospel, and within a twinkle of an eye, he would
repent.
Our Lord Jesus Christ had only twelve disciples, who
went about propagating His name by preaching the
Gospel. Similarly, this is what you are supposed to
do. You were not meant to be stationed in one place
and force people to accept God and serve Him. One

TESTIMONY:
Some time ago, an incident occurred. A Liberian
who was a prophetess died in Lagos and they sent
the body down to 34 Ambo Street, Calabar. We had
to arrange her burial here. We bought a nice casket,
dressed her properly and took her to Liberia. There
at Liberia, we bought a piece of land on which she
was buried and we even gave the family some money
in addition. A commissioner of police from the
Cameroon came here to 34 Ambo Street, Calabar. He
came with his wife and they were non-Brotherhood
PRAYER:
Read John 16:26-28
"At that day, ye shall ask in my name: and I say not
unto you that I will pray the Father for you: For the
Father Himself loveth you, because ye have loved
me, and have believed that I came out from God. I
came forth from the Father and I am come into the
world; again I leave the world and go to the Father."
