NIGERIA 50TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION

OF NIGERIA’S INDEPENDENCE
THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF THE LORD
BIBLE WITNESSES:

INTRODUCTION
LUKE 4 :18-12
18: The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel
to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and
recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
19: To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
20: And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of
all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
21: And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
LOVE RULES:
Can you not see that we are a lucky set of human beings. We are indeed the luckiest. Imagine the
number of people. Anywhere you go that there is Brotherhood, you will find people from Akwa
Ibom forming the majority.

If there is a lucky place, Akwa Ibom is the luckiest. If you are guided with this exhortation in all
your dealings, AKWA IBOM STATE WILL BECOME A WORLD WONDER. I know you
have doubts in you. In spite of your doubts, go and practice this gospel. Right from today, go and
love one another, and you will then realize the proven power of God.

IF NIGERIANS, PRACTICE THIS ONE GOSPEL AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER, YOU
WILL WITNESS THE PROGRESS IN THE COUNTRY. LOVE IS THE ONLY THING
TO RULE THE WORLD. This is the reign of Jehovah God and His Christ. No other thing
reigns. Neither hatred, nor malice, nor man, nor death, nor sickness, reigns. It is only our Lord
Jesus Christ who rules for ever. Let the golden text be read. It is your take home package.
WHITHER AFRICA?

WHAT IS NIGERIA'S IDEOLOGY?

FIRST BIBLE LESSON: JOHN 14:26
"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he
shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto
you."

SECOND BIBLE LESSON: GALATIANS 5:22-23

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law."

GOLDEN TEXT: JOHN 4:23

"But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in
spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him."

Brethren, this gospel is delivered on the occasion of the celebration of the 26th Anniversary of
Nigeria's Independence. It is meant to commemorate that celebration. This is a time when
Nigerians should worship God in spirit, in truth, in love, in patience, in humility, in mercy, in
goodness, in self control, and in meekness, because against these virtues there is no law. Heaven
and earth will pass away, but the word of God will not pass away forever. (Matt 24:35/Mark
13:31).

With Independence, Nigerians Are Right To Worship God In Spirit And In Truth

When Nigerians were under the colonial rule, they were slaves to the foreign laws, they could
neither express the love of God nor do anything as they loved, but now Our Lord Jesus Christ
has liberated all Nigerians. What therefore, prevents us from following after the Spirit which is
righteousness, love, mercy, truth, humility, meekness, joy, because all of us are Brotherhood.

Nigeria is a very important country loved by God. Africa is also loved by God. He loves the
whole world as well, but Our Lord Jesus Christ begins to count his numerals from one. He elects
people singly, in twos and threes, until he elects all.

The prophecy just read is directly referring to Nigeria and indeed, Africa. The prophecy says,
"But the hour cometh and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in Spirit and
in truth; for the Father seeks such to worship Him. (John 4:23)

As that Samaritan woman has said, "Our Fathers worshiped on this mountain and you say that in
Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship." Our Lord Jesus Christ said to her, "Woman,
believe me, the hour cometh when ye shall neither on this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem
worship the Father. You worship what you do not know, we worship what we know for salvation
is of the Jews." (John 4:21-22)
The Right Of People's Self Determination

Republicanism means freedom, the expression of the right to self determination, to be

independent. To have right to self determination means the freedom to know what and how to
worship, how to govern, how to do any other things self-independently. Right now, Nigerians
have embraced Catholicism of the Christian Religion and Mohammedanism. They have also
imbibed some other foreign religious cultures and ideologies. But the pertinent question is, are
Catholicism and Mohammedanism indigenous to this country? Are the various cultures
indigenous to Nigeria? Do you know what you are actually worshiping? What about the strange
gods, the idols, the diabologies, which you worship? Are they natives of Nigeria? The Holy
Spirit whom Nigerians should worship in the appropriate manner has now arrived.

Africans Are Fond Of Worshiping Foreign Gods

If you go to Ghana, the people are worshiping strange gods, in Liberia also people worship
strange gods, indeed everywhere you go to, the Africans are found to worship strange and
infamous gods. Does it mean that you cannot worship the True God? Why do you continue to
worship strange gods, and be plagued with problems, difficulties and confusion? But the Holy
Spirit which is Love has arrived, and has taught us the virtues of love, and truth, and fellowship
with one another because we are all brethren.

Our Lord Jesus Christ has told us that God is a Spirit. What is the Spirit? He is love, truth,
mercy, goodness, righteousness, humility, meekness, joy and peace. The Holy Spirit is in
Nigeria. He is in Africa and He is in the whole world. What hinders us from worshiping and
serving Him, since we all have been emancipated? This is, therefore, not the time to go to Mecca
or Rome, or Jerusalem or even United States of America; but the time to worship God in Spirit,
because the Holy Spirit has arrived at your doorstep. Love has arrived under your roof. What
prevents you from worshiping Him?

Many people worship what they know not. They build a house and presume that God is in the
house, they go to the riverside to worship, they also go to Mecca and to Jerusalem presuming
that God is in such places. Unfortunately, God is not in such places. But our Lord Jesus Christ
says, "The time cometh, and now is, when true worshipers will worship God in Spirit and in truth
because they worship what they know not,” but now we must worship what we do know because
salvation emanates from the Holy Spirit into the whole world.

Africans Are Cultured Enough To Sell Their Ideology To Others

The inhabitants of the whole world have borne eloquent testimony that the Holy Spirit has
entered Africa. It is a truism that the Holy Spirit has entered Africa. It is surprising that the
Africans have not realized the Holy Spirit has now entered their continent. If you observe the
goings on in the world, there are no people who express their love as the Africans, there are
no people who are as foolish as the Africans, there are no people in the world as humble as
the Africans, and there are no people who are as honest and truthful as the Africans.
However, the trouble with the Africans is their tendency to worship strange gods. Are Africans
not civilized and enlightened enough to have their own ideology, and to worship the true God
who is love, truth, and Brotherhood so that all things may remain in perfect peace and
tranquility, in order also to get the whites socialized in the worship and in the African ideology?

Africa, The Cradle Of Civilization

There has never been any point in time when God hated Africans. It is crystal
clear that Egypt in Africa is the cradle of civilization. The first university ever to be established
was set up in Egypt. Whatever body of knowledge adopted by the whites was borrowed from
Africa. On this premise, at the close of this age, the Holy Spirit has descended into Africa. It is
only reasonable that the Africans should worship God in Spirit and in truth.

Notice that India with a population of 800 million people has only one government based on one
ideology. But in Africa it is noticed that Nigeria with a scanty population sets up a government
based on multiple ideologies. Ghana, Cameroon and other African countries with scanty
populations, have their different governments based on different ideologies. They glory in a state
of divide-and-rule. The same state of affairs prevails in other African Countries. Why do they not
stop for a moment to ask themselves why they should continue to fool and stupefy themselves as
well as involve themselves in the attitude of divide and rule?

Factors Of African Unity

You are mature enough to know yourselves. If a Cameroonian or a Ghanaian or
any person from any African country enters into any assembly, you cannot differentiate him
from Nigerians because all the Africans wear the same body pigmentation and they are one and
the same thing. Why can you not unite yourselves in Love? Love itself is here with you, it is
only because you worship what you know not. You worship strange gods and forsake the Holy
Spirit who has already come. The result of your action is confusion, tribulations, poverty,
daylight robbery and indiscriminate murder, because of worshiping strange gods. It is now time
that you worship God in Spirit and in truth, introduce the virtue of love to the whites, to go to
show them the expression of Love, truth, joy and peace which is Brotherhood.

Who Appreciates The Holy Spirit?

I do not, however, condemn the Orthodox Churches that profess to worship the
real God but have no need for the Holy Spirit. The Moslems do not need the Holy Spirit, the
various religions have no need for the Holy Spirit but Our Lord Jesus Christ has spoken in
unequivocal terms, that the true worshiper will worship God in Spirit and in truth. Fortunately,
the Holy Spirit is here on earth, there is love, mercy, unity, fellowship, truth, self-control and
meekness. Should we, therefore reject the Holy Spirit? The whites are aware of the present
position, because it was said that "Ethiopians shall rise," that is to say the blacks will rise up.
Now, the blacks have risen up. They all should rise up and worship God in Spirit and in truth, in
love and in mercy, in truth and in humility, and in fellowship and unity.

Religious Hegemony
How do you attain a Republican status without any ideology and you do not know
what to worship? You are now liberated, but you worship a strange god and accept imported
ideology. This is the trouble which besets Africa. The Pope is at the head of Roman Catholicism,
and most of those who profess to be Roman Catholics know not what they worship. England is
under the Archbishop of Canterbury who is the head of the Church of England. At first the
Britons were under the Pope and the Roman Catholic Church and owed their loyalty to Rome.
You can observe that Nigeria is till today under the yoke of the many religious hegemonies and
has not at present attained the purported Republican status. A casual look reveals that some
Nigerians are Roman Catholics, some are Moslems, some are Lutherans, others are of various
foreign Christian church denominations while others belong to other foreign religions. It is from
this that confusion and problem set in because they do not know what they do and what they
worship.

King James I of England Broke With Rome

You are aware of the fact that hitherto, England owed her loyalty to Rome and the Pope,
and had to consult with Rome for whatever the people intended to do. Whoever was to be
crowned the King of England must have the approval of Rome. But when King James I ascended
the throne of England in 1603, he found himself heir to the religious turmoil and confusion that
characterized the entire country. He knew that if he continued to be loyal to Rome, he would
continue to remain under the Roman hegemony. King James I, therefore, broke with Rome and
founded the Church of England under the leadership of the Archbishop of Canterbury. With the
new set up, there was no longer any foreign domination. It is such a country which has attained
the real republican status. Go to China today, the people are independent of other countries, they
are self-sufficient. The same thing happens in other countries. But all countries in Africa are
dependent on others for religion, government, economy and other socio-political and economic
institutions because they do not know what they worship.

Upon your claim to high attainment in education, upon the number of you who study in foreign
countries, the Africans generally have no ideology. I speak this to your shame. However, the
Holy Spirit has arrived in Africa, He dwells in Africa. Africa is the first Son, Africa is the
Kingdom of God where there is joy, which is rich in natural resources, full of honey and milk.
You should go forth to inform the whole world. But till today, the Africans are quarreling among
themselves, and they cannot decipher the mind of the white man, who indoctrinated them that
what they have which is indigenous, is not good enough and so they stand separated. Can you
boast of attaining the republicanism?

Do you mean to argue that it is not the God who created the Russians, the Americans, the
Britons, the Israelites and the Arabians who created you in Africa? Do you have another God?
Have you sworn not to be independent? Do you not want to find your feet on the ground? It is
incumbent upon you to worship God in Spirit and in truth.

What Religion Is Indigenous to Nigeria?

Our Lord Jesus Christ has kindly set us free knowing that we worshiped what we did not know.
What does it mean to God for your attending church services? What actually do you go there to
do? The so-called big men sit down there and quarrel and fight, indulging in all forms of
diabology and committing murder. It, therefore stands to reason that, you do not know what you
are worshiping. You find a few persons founding their church denominations, others are doing a
similar thing and others are complaining that they have toured around all the church
denominations. Must you continue to move from one church denomination to the other? The
church denominations always expect that an important person must come to inspect their
churches from United States of America, or India or Britain or from any other country. No
church denomination has ever originated from Nigeria. No important person has ever gone from
Africa to the United States of America to inspect his church denomination there, because the
people are very pessimistic, feeling that God has rejected Africa. Is there no person in Africa
who has found favor with God? I want you Africans to question yourselves on this issue.

Africa Must Awake

Can the blind lead the blind? If the blind lead the blind, will the two of them not fall into a pit?
Can you observe the love which Africans once had with themselves. Now is the era of
diplomacy, where craftiness, party spirit, robbery, oppression, grudge are the order of the day. At
present, a brother rebels against a brother and warns that if he is not a Roman Catholic, or a
Mount Zion, or Apostolic, or Moslem, he should no longer visit his house. Did your father ever
establish Mohammedanism? Do you know what obtains in Roman Catholic or Mount Zion, or
Apostolic? Do you not realize that freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom of religion
were enshrined in the Nigerian constitution for your benefit? What happens now? Three
religious organizations are purportedly recognized in Nigeria. They are: Roman Catholicism
which originates from Rome, Islam which originates from Mecca, and the Protestant churches
which also originate from Europe. Which is the Nigerian indigenous religion? The one that
originates from Africa is not known. Which is easily dismissed with a wave of the hand. So the
search for the real Christ continues. If you go to meet the Pope he will issue you with
instructions about his doctrines. Are you not still under his yoke? Africa, are you not under a
foreign yoke? Do you know what you are worshiping? Do you understand what your masters are
doing? Is the Catholic headquarters established here? Whatever instructions are passed down by
the Prophet or Archbishop of Canterbury or Pope must be carried out, but we remain without a
religion and an ideology. Since you started attending these foreign church denominations, has
any black man ever been appointed a Pope? Till the world comes to an end, no black man will be
appointed the Pope or the Archbishop of Canterbury because the blacks do not comprehend what
they do. Can you become the Prophet of Mecca? Till the end of your days you will never become
the prophet.

The Blacks Despise Themselves And What They Have

Brethren, do you observe your relative position? It is for this reason that I shed tears when I look
at you. Any good thing that emerges from amongst you is down-trodden. What do you want God
to do for you? God is born for us. The promised Comforter, the Holy Spirit originates from here.
He is everything, He is love, and truth. Food and every other thing is found in abundance. Here
there is oneness which is Brotherhood. Brotherhood regards all the whites, blacks, colored, and
indeed all the inhabitants of the world as one.

It is a common thing in the present age to find the white loving only what is theirs, not minding
its worthlessness but despising what belongs to the blacks even if it is of a superlative degree.
But the blacks on the other hand love whatever is foreign no matter how ugly, and despise what
is indigenous no matter how pretty. Is that how to live?

Heavy Expenditures On Pilgrimages

Consider the expenditure incurred by both government and individuals in one trip to Mecca. Yet
you still cry for lack of money. What is your mission to Mecca? Our Lord Jesus Christ has said
that the hour cometh when it shall neither be on that mountain nor at Jerusalem. You go to
worship what you do not know. God is a Spirit. God is Love. God is Truth. God is Patience, He
is humility, meekness and righteousness. Worship God within, and on the land you dwell. People
go to Jerusalem on pilgrimage. But our Lord Jesus Christ has said, the hour cometh, when ye
shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. But now that the day has
dawned at the arrival of the Holy Spirit, you still go to Jerusalem and Mecca. What do you go to
Jerusalem for? Why do you waste thousands of naira on such worthless ventures? This is good
money that can be used to execute many development projects. What do you go to do there?
When will the people of Jerusalem come here? Take a trip to Jerusalem, if you will not find
numerous poor people. Up to this day, war is still raging seriously on the land. Hatred, rancor,
and malice abound. What do you go to learn from them? Do they even know what to do
themselves? You are familiar with what obtains amongst the Arabs. When you go to Mecca,
what do you learn from there!

In London, armed robbers are as numerous as they abound in this country. You cannot even
compare the high rate of stealing, lying, roguery to what abounds here. In such situations, what
do you go to learn there?

Brethren, have you realized that to become a republic means to reach self-realization and
self-actualization, completely independent to serve God, farm, trade, and do your things your
own way? God has come to teach us everything. He teaches about electricity and other things.
Freedom from external influences motivates a man to individual experiments which leads to
inventions and discoveries. The root of Chinese knowledge which has led to their present fame
and prominence is traceable to Africa. The origin of Japanese knowledge can be traced back to
Africa. It is God who teaches man everything. But people conserve what they are taught by
others for their selfish interest and self aggrandizement because they do not want other people to
see the light.

The Bible in use is printed in Europe and America. Can that be construed to mean that
throughout all Africa, there is nobody who is able or worthy to print the Bible for sale? Is it
because you cannot print the Bible that is why you order copies of the Bible from London,
America and other parts of the Western world? Imagine the amount of money you send out for
this purpose every year. Does it mean that Africans cannot operate printing machines for this
purpose so that the money which would have been expended remains in circulation in the
continent? Are you not mature enough to print your own Bible? Are you not mature enough to
have an indigenous African Church? The government of the country is "Love One Another." It is
the government of the continent. Right now, you do not yet have a republic. In the churches you
find strife and division portraying utter ignorance of what you are worshiping. Does it mean that
there is nobody throughout Africa who can buy printing machines for the purpose of printing the
Bible in commercial quantities and distribute to people here in Africa and even in the Eastern
and Western world?

The Holy Spirit Teaches Everything

Should we understand that in all Africa there is no person to whom God has bestowed the Holy
Spirit, a person who has love and can unify Africa into a formidable force, a person who can
consequently establish an indigenous African church for the Africans, having a unique system of
worship, such that the whites will come down to imbibe? Does it mean that there is no black man
who possesses love? There is no other system of worship than that of the Spirit. Be not deceived
that the system you use is of human design. It is the Spirit at work. This is the time to worship
God in Spirit and in truth besides which there is no other system. If a group of persons invite you
to a certain place, go not forth. That is not the place. The Spirit teaches us love. When all of us
possess love, that is the basis of freedom. It is only then that there will be no more theft or
discrimination since we would all be brothers.

Right now, if we go to London, we only go on ministry work to teach the whites. Brotherhood
has penetrated into Western Germany, India, America and every part of the world. The Holy
Spirit is now teaching them about love. They do not know what is called the Holy Spirit.

The Word Of God Is Not Taught In The University

There is no university where any person can teach you the word of God. No university can teach
you about love. You are rather taught craftiness, stealing and other vices. But the Holy Spirit
takes dominion over everything. It is the promised Comforter who was meant to teach all things.
Has He not come? Has He not taught? The white, colored and black races possess the Spirit. He
is teaching all the inhabitants of the world. He teaches us love, and truth. All the inhabitants of
the world are one. We should be attentive and walk in Spirit. Do not be led to doing and
worshiping that which you do not know.

Republicanism In Africa Is A Mere Concept

The underlying factor behind the refusal of the communist to admit any religion is the difficulty
of deciding which one to follow. If Russia accepts Catholicism, it implies they will be subjected
to the whims and caprices of the Pope. They will become servants of the Pope. Do you not know
that any person to whom you yield, you make yourself a slave? If it is Catholicism, it means the
Pope will govern you and your republic will be a mere mental concept. With the Catholic
hegemony, you will have no personal conviction and aspirations. Such subjugation is indirect
slavery. But right now, we are liberated. The Spirit now teaches every person. He teaches love to
us, to the whites and to all. You should, therefore, listen to Him. All the inhabitants of the world
are one, we are Brethren. God is not only the God of Nigeria, or of Africa, or of Europe. He is
the God of every person. The Holy Spirit is everywhere.

Let our first Lesson be read. Listen attentively, blacks and whites, alike.

First Bible Lesson: John 14:26

"But the Comforter which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my
name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have
said unto you."

Brethren, have you heard that? It is not said that He will come from Europe, or America or
Africa, or India. It is only said that when the Comforter comes, He will teach you all things and
bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever the Christ has said unto you.

All the battles fought are part of the liberation work of our Lord Jesus Christ in order that we
may be able to worship God in Spirit and in Truth. Look at Nigeria, for instance, twenty six
years after her independence, she is still under slavery. Unfortunately, she does not know that the
yoke is still upon her. So long as you cannot worship God in Spirit and in truth, you are still
under the yoke of satan.

The Liberation Of The Israelites

When the children of Israel were led into slavery in Egypt, they had no power to resist whatever
was passed down to them by the Egyptians. They were forced to adopt a form of worship which
was alien to them. Since they were slaves, they could not worship in their own way. They served
a strange God. If you have to do what is strange to you, you will not be able to reject, except as
you are directed. But when it was time, when God wanted them to serve Him where He wanted,
He sent Moses to deliver them from the hands of Pharaoh to a land kept for them. They were no
longer under Egypt's system of worship. (Ex 3:10) It was then that Joshua rose up amongst them
and said; "Men of Israel if it seems evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye
shall serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood
or the gods of Amorites in whose land you dwell; but as for me and my house, we serve the
LORD." (Joshua 24:15). Is it not also the time for Africa to serve the Lord? The Holy Spirit has
liberated us from slavery but the Africans continue to worship strange gods. If you deviate from
their practice, they hate you, lock you up and kill you. The Holy Spirit has liberated all of us, and
there is little that remains. He will also liberate all. So that we may all come and serve Him, and
cease from wandering as sheep without a shepherd.

The Holy Spirit Is The Only Teacher

If the whole of Africa were to unite and serve the Lord since they are all brothers and children of
God, what would they not accomplish? If we possess the love which he has brought to us, if we
are truthful, merciful, humble and live in peace with one another what would Nigeria not
achieve? What would be impossible for Africa? The Whites do not love you and when you go to
Europe and America to study, what is it that you learn?

But the Holy Spirit is here to teach you everything: how to manufacture the aeroplane and other
things; because it was written that He shall teach us all things. The Holy Spirit will teach you
everything if you surrender yourself unto Him. He does not come to heal alone but also to teach
us all things.

Esau Represents The Blacks, And Jacob The Whites

Esau and Jacob had one father. Esau was a black man but Jacob was a white man. Esau was strict
and truthful, serving his father Isaac; but Jacob used craftiness to usurp his birthright. (Gen
25:29-34). Can you not notice how crafty the whites are? It is what was written that the elder
shall serve the younger and that prophecy has been fulfilled and it now past. Right now the
Comforter, the Spirit of Truth has come. I do not condemn the Roman Catholic Church, it is very
good with the Catholics. Islam is very good for the moslems too. But what do you have to do for
yourself now that the Holy Spirit has come to teach us? He has come to teach the entire world
and so we should forsake strange doctrines and faiths and follow after love since God has come
down by Himself. He is no longer of the whites nor of the blacks alone. He is neither for
Nigerians nor for Africans alone. Ours is the Kingdom of God which has come down on earth.
He has come to teach us His love, mercy, truth, and unity, that people should not kill one another
again, and that there should be no oppression or segregation.

Freedom Of Worship

There was no time when the Holy Spirit left Africa. God loves Africa above all. You can observe
the measure of freedom of worship that is guaranteed. You are free to worship what you may,
provided you register it. But this is not the case in other places. You cannot worship any other
God in the Moslem world. The same thing obtains in the Roman Catholic world. But here in
Nigeria, the constitution provides for freedom of worship.

Is it not the Holy Spirit who wrote the constitution? The Holy Spirit did that purposefully
knowing that there is something still left for man to do. What still remains to be done is that the
inhabitants of the entire world do not know what they are doing. Christ says that whoever loves
God has to love his brother. (1 Jn 4:20) Right now your brother is a Roman Catholic member
while you are of the Apostolic Church, how can both of you agree as far as Christian doctrines
are concerned? You continue to kill one another on questions of faith. Whose teaching is that?

The Holy Spirit Is Omnipresent

Christ has said that it shall be neither in Jerusalem nor on this mountain that you can worship
God. What is the situation today? When you are asked about your church denomination, you
argue that it is not in the city and that you have to travel three miles before you get to it. For this
reason you choose to remain in your house. Can you not observe that you are worshipping what
you do not know? God is a spirit. He is indwelling and He is everywhere. The time is coming
and now is when the true worshippers shall worship Him in spirit and in truth. This is the time.
You are a churchgoer but you have no love; there is no truth in you, you have no patience, you
have no humility, you have no good manners, you do not realize that we are all one. What
actually do you go to do in the church? Do you know what you are about? God is the God of
might, and He says that whosoever believes and is baptized shall be saved; and these signs shall
follow them that believe, "In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new
tongues; they shall take up serpents: and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them;
they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover." (Mark 16:17-18)

You profess to be a churchgoer but you come out of the church and go straight to the native
doctor; you take tablets and injections, you carry some charms around your neck, your head and
in your pockets. Do you know what you are worshipping?

Africans Do Not Know How To Order Their Priorities

God is omnipotent and omniscient. All Powers belong to the Holy Spirit. He is all wise and is in
everything. Right now that the Holy Spirit has revealed Himself, we must worship God in spirit
and in truth. He is love and patience, truth and mercy; He is everything and so there should be no
distinction between the whites and the blacks, the young and the old. Since charity begins at
home, we the Africans should know ourselves. We should reason among ourselves. We are
carrying the carcass of an elephant on our heads but fiddling with our feet to search for snails.
How much will the snail fetch us? The whites introduced the school systems, the churches and
their civilization to you. They have done well. That is their own contribution. Right now the
blacks should introduce to them the Holy Spirit which is love, truth, oneness, humility and
goodness. It is the turn of the black man to unify the whole world so that there should be no
distinction between the Jews and the Greeks. He has said that those who were not his people, He
shall call his people and to her that was not His beloved, He shall call His beloved. (Rom 9:25).
Africans were neither His people nor his beloved, but today God says to Africans "you are my
people." And so Africans must rise up and unite.

The Turn Of The Blacks

In all institutions or establishments, it was the white man who was at the head. No white man
worked under the black but today the reverse is true. The mandate is to unify the whole world so
that there should be no distinction. The whites know this and they have accepted the new turn.
They do not involve themselves in the foolishness which the blacks indulge, arguing that they
cannot worship a human being. They know that this is what has been ordained and so they have
to accept it. However, they now turn round and instigate you not to accept Brotherhood.
Brotherhood has already been established and there is no need for any indoctrination. It is not
something you have to search for. The Comforter is here to teach you Love. This is not the time
for carnal church denominations. It is the Holy Spirit who leads in everything. The Holy Spirit
Comes From Heaven, And He Is Everything To Every Man.

He said that the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth which the Father shall send in my name, He shall
teach you all things. What does He teach us? What is He like? Is the Holy Spirit white or black
or colored. Is He tall or short or deformed? I am telling you this so that your eyes may be opened
because this is not the time for someone to deceive you that he is Jesus, Jehovah or the Christ. It
is the Holy Spirit who teaches everything and there is no other teacher. If somebody comes to
you with a new god from America, tell him to follow his American god and that you are
following after the Holy Spirit. If someone comes out and claims to be anything, know that he is
nothing. It is the Holy Spirit who teaches us everything and it is today that we want to know
what the Holy Spirit looks like. It was said that all shaky things shall be taken away. Roman
Catholicism has a beginning. Islam has a beginning. Hinduism has a beginning, the Bahai faith
and other faiths and cults have their beginnings; but the Holy Spirit has neither the beginning nor
the end.

The Kingdom Of Jehovah God And His Christ Has Come

The Holy Spirit has come for Nigeria, for Africa for the Western world and for the whole world.
The Holy Spirit has come for the fishes in the water, the animals in the field, the birds and every
created thing. The Holy Spirit does not come from Nigeria or Africa or Europe. He comes from
heaven and it is the Kingdom of God which you pray for in the Lord's Prayer: "Lord let thy
Kingdom Come". He has taken dominion over the whole world. Now is the time for all of us to
comply with His teachings. Do not waste your time establishing a church or a prayer house. We
should be attentive to the Holy Spirit because it is said that He shall teach us all things. This is
the time for both young and old to know Him.

Only The Holy Spirit Leads

We now want to know if his teaching means Roman Catholicism or Protestantism or any other
faith or religion or government or society. It is said that in the end there shall be one flock under
one Shepherd.

Today in a small town you have very many churches because each person is seeking for his own
glory. Can you find the teaching of the Christ and that of the Holy Spirit in them? Now is the
time to listen to his teaching. Every town and city has to be acquainted with His teachings. The
Holy Spirit is teaching in Russia, in India, in United States of America and everywhere. Just sit
wherever you are and receive His teaching. If we all do this and comply with His teachings, the
entire world will be at peace. This is what the whole of Nigeria, Africa and the entire world
should do. Do not search for any other thing. Seek after the Holy Spirit because this is the time
for his reign. Do you think that it was well with the person who sells her hen which still lays. If
the different churches were good with the whites, do you think they would bring them to you? It
is the Holy Spirit alone who comes from the Father and He is the one who leads us.

Second Bible Lesson: Galatians 5:22-23

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law."

How To Worship God In Spirit And In Truth

Have you heard what the Holy Spirit teaches us? Is there any law which is against these? If you
are here in Nigeria and you love every person and are kind and gentle and humble, will the laws
of Nigeria work against you?

If you go to Ghana and you possess love and regard everyone as your brother, if you are truthful,
temperate, merciful and patient, will the laws of Ghana oppose you? If you get to Rome and you
possess love and are truthful, if you are humble and you do not fornicate, if you are patient and
meek; will the Romans condemn your way of life? That is worshipping God in Spirit and in
truth. Where else can you find people sitting in fellowship like this? Lawyers, doctors, professors
and millionaires all of them mingle with the poor and eat from the same plate without any
difficulty. That is the teaching of the Holy Spirit and it is what I want to reveal to the entire
world that there is no division. This is taught by the Holy Spirit. He teaches and practices it.

This is why our Lord Jesus Christ says that you should call no one Teacher for He alone is the
Teacher and we are all brethren. (Matt 23:8) A teacher is one who practices what he says. Can
you not notice the love He has? He healed us free of charge. He teaches us free. He changes us
free. He feeds us free. He does everything without a fee. He tolerates us in everything. He does
not beat us nor inflict us with evil. He teaches us to go and do likewise.

No Differentiation Of Persons

No woman can enter and speak in the mosque. In the Roman Catholic Church, a woman is not
allowed to preach. Many other places do not regard the women as anything. The reason is that
they have not received the teachings of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit teaches us that we are all
brethren.

Do not call anyone a fool. There is neither young nor old, white nor black, everyone is equal.
Our Lord Jesus Christ taught that there is neither Greek nor Jew but the Holy Spirit is all and in
all. You are aware of the fact that the teaching of the Holy Spirit has never been disseminated in
many parts of the world, that is why when the women went abroad to preach, there was a stir in
the churches.

The women there agitated to their authorities for their right to preach because of what they had
seen from our women. The Archbishop of Canterbury almost granted them the concession but
his friend in Rome advised that if he did that, he was no longer his friend. And so people have
refused women the right to preach because of fear of persecution.

But right now the Holy Spirit has come to remove this veil from your eyes. When your eyes are
opened, you will realize that there is neither male nor female, young nor old but Christ is all and
in all (Gal 3:28).

The Brotherhood Of Man

The Holy Spirit teaches us that we are the same. We are God's building. We are the city of God.
We are all the children of God. Whether you are white or black, you should regard every person
in the same way. This is what is taught by the Holy Spirit. There is no pastor, or bishop who will
teach you that all men are equal. It is the Holy Spirit alone who teaches us the Brotherhood of
man.

You remember the first National Anthem which specified that "in Brotherhood we stand."
"Though tribes and tongues may differ, in Brotherhood we stand." That is what accounted for the
progress of Nigeria. Since the first National Anthem was replaced by the new one, have you not
observed how things have been with you?

The Holy Spirit has come to liberate the whole of Nigeria and is He not worthy of our worship?
If we worship him would there be any wars or problems in Nigeria? God says you should call no
one father because you have one father; all of you are brethren. What other name do you want?
The whole of Africa is Brotherhood. The whole of the western world is Brotherhood. All the
angels are Brotherhood. Everything is Brotherhood. Tell me any other name which you want
apart from Brotherhood, and to love one another. He teaches us love, patience and kindness, and
so we should go forth and practice these and not to look for another doctrine. There is no need
establishing any church denomination. The one which is from God is sufficient unto all of us.
Brotherhood Was Established By God Before Any Religion Was Founded

The church denominations and prayer houses are comparatively recent. Brotherhood was first in
existence. It was in heaven and God said let us make man in our image and likeness.
Brotherhood was brought down before Adam and Eve were created. They were led by the Spirit.
But when they disobeyed God, trouble set in and they fell away from Brotherhood.

Brotherhood is love, unity, humility, meekness, patience, joy, self-control, peace and all the
virtues of God. It has neither the beginning nor the end. What else do you want? It is sufficient
unto Nigeria as a faith. It is sufficient unto Ghana, and the whole of Africa and the entire
Western World. His teaching is love and if we follow after love there will be no theft or any
problems again. Do not go to the mountains again. If you have love and humble yourself, things
will be well with you.

New Teaching

Brotherhood is not planted but it germinates. That is why wherever it is taken to, the indigenes of
the place are sought for and their possession is handed to them. This is our government in which
we do not steal and we do not kill. Who is it that does not love goodness. No other person rules.
It is the Holy Spirit who is the Teacher and the Ruler. The Indians rule themselves with their
own System of government. Russia, America and every country has its own ruler with its
common form of government because love is new. All the old things have passed away. It is love
alone who rules in heaven and earth. Do not kill animals or man again. Do not hate any person.
Do not steal. Remain in love and peace with all. This is the teaching which the Holy Spirit has
brought.

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.

Man Has To Lead

Since it was ordained that man should be at the head no matter what happens, man will be at the
head. When you kill an animal it belongs to you while in the forest, but when you bring it out to
the village, it is no more yours. Communism was started by Lenin in Russia and now he is dead,
and the body embalmed and preserved for posterity. This is all you can see of him. God used
Mohammed to found Islam. Today Mohammed is no more in the world but Islam is still
practiced as a religion. Boniface started Roman Catholicism but is he here today? Bahaula
started the Bahai faith but is he here today? God uses people to accomplish His will.

Forget about these people because they are like the moon which shines for all. Each of them is a
messenger and nothing else. God will not start any instruction with a tree. If this is the cause of
your annoyance, do not mention the name of Olumba Obu, keep him out but practice the
teachings of the Holy Spirit. Do not look again to the left or right.

John the Baptist started preaching repentance. (Mark 1:4) Our Lord Jesus Christ also came but
are these people physically here today? At all times God has to pass through men. This
foundation is very sure. Brotherhood existed before the foundation of the world was laid. This is
the time of its manifestation and there is no going back. This is the only expected Kingdom we
have been praying for. Have you ever seen anything from Africa which gains popularity in
Europe and America?

Let me tell you what is happening in the world today because it is the Holy Spirit who is
revealing Himself to the people. There is a certain man in London who vowed not to bow down
to any black man. That night, as he went to bed, the Holy Spirit revealed himself lavishly unto
him. The following day he resigned his appointment, and now goes about with soutane preaching
the gospel in every part of town and even sleeps with his soutane on. Another man from Cross
River State of Nigeria who was a Pastor in another church denomination was arrested in
Lebanon with a lot of foreign currency while on a business trip. The case was such that he would
not escape jail or the firing squad but the Father appeared and he was released. When he got
back, to London, he got baptized with members of his household and now rejoices in
Brotherhood. He will be here this month. Is this the work of man? Was I the one who went to
him. What can a small person like myself know how to do?

Attribute All To Jehovah God And His Christ

If you want to practice Brotherhood, talk only about the Holy Spirit and there will be peace. Do
not wander to any part of the world because you will find no way. The foundation is sure. This is
why a lot of people try to render the teaching in various languages. The time for deceit had long
past. Count me out of what you do. I am not a chief, I am neither chairman, nor Pastor, nor
Prophet, nor Christ Servant, nor Elder nor anything, but the point is, what about the work? If you
refuse me, do you equally refuse the work? Our Lord Jesus Christ is the foundation and the
Leader. Jehovah God and His Christ is the one in control. I had told you that I am not the doer of
this work. But even if I lie down in the house, the work still continues. Imagine the testimonies
of what happened in Germany and other parts of the world. Have you ever found me travelling
out even to Oron? God had disgraced the wisdom of the world, of the whites and of the blacks.
He alone exists. I have no boast of my own. I boast in Him. Let our Golden Text be read.

GOLDEN TEXT: JOHN 4:23

"But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the
Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship Him."
It is of great surprise on one hand, to find that somebody who has never studied at any
university, or travelled to Lagos, or read any newspaper, or initiated into any secret society or
cult, or even read through the Bible can exhibit so great profundity of knowledge. How do I
come by this knowledge?

Man is the church of God. Man is the building of God. Man is the House of God. (1 Cor 3:16-17/
6:19)

Do not allow any person to deceive you to erect or attend a church building. Go not forth, for
you are the house of God. All the inhabitants are the houses of God. Are you familiar with the
concept? Man is the house of God. God has no other house.

If a person directs that he should take you to God's vineyard, do not go. You are God's
husbandry. He has no other. Do not be deceived that when a person dies, he goes to God's city.
Man is the only city of God.

The Tabernacle Of God Is Man

Somebody argues that you are not a child of God. If you are not a child of God, whose child are
you? Whose child is Eve or Adam? Are they not children of God? Whose child is our Lord Jesus
Christ? Is He not the Son of God? Did he not redeem us from the curse? All the inhabitants of
the world are the children of God.

It is usual for a father and a child to quarrel. When a child offends against his father, he quite
normally will ask his father for forgiveness. It was for that purpose that Our Lord Jesus Christ
shed his blood through which the Father forgave the sins of the world. All the inhabitants of the
world are true and not adopted children of God. In that case, you are now having a direct link
with your Father. The ultimate aim is to return to the Garden of Eden. Right now God has come
back to dwell in each and every one of us. He does not dwell in the sky. He dwells in you. There
is no need in going to the mountain, or to find a church, or request for prayers. He dwells in you.
Therefore converse with Him, listen to Him for He is teaching you love, peace, truth, mercy,
faith and other virtues.

The Reign Of The Holy Spirit Is Unopposed

When anyone comes to tell you that he had been to Jerusalem or India to receive power, he is
lying and he is a deceiver. Call on God for He dwells in you. It is for this reason that we are told
not to commit any sin. If we keep his instructions, we have no problems. No power comes from
elsewhere to us. When a person complains that he is attacked from the family, it is a lie. This is
the time to worship God in spirit and in truth. This is the reign of the Holy Spirit. His reign has
no bounds. Whether or not you accept Him, His reign is unopposed. He has assumed His
rulership, and nothing else reigns. Why are we afflicted with famine, tribulation, poverty and
lack? It is because you would not accept his rule. The Holy Spirit is God. He makes and
unmakes. If we accept Him and surrender completely to His reign, all will become well. Things
will change for the better overnight. I have accepted him. If you have not accepted Him, that is
your business but it is sure that the fastidiousness of a he-goat does not prevent it from being
sold.

Kingdom Devoid of Pain and Death

The Spirit is what we had lacked. That is why people died, fell sick and suffered. But now that
the Holy Spirit has come back to dwell with you in the paradise according to the pre-ordination
of God, you communicate directly with God. There is no sickness or pains. Fortunately, the
living water overflows the fountains. But you refuse to drink. On what basis do you refuse to
drink? Can you refuse life?

In the past the Jehovah's witnesses claimed to be the Watch Tower watching to announce to the
people the time of consummation. It appears that the reverse is now the case. This is that
Kingdom of God and the Holy Spirit now reigns.

The Kingdom of this world is no more. This is the Kingdom of Jehovah God and His Christ. It is
not Olumba Olumba Obu who reigns. Nobody else reigns. Jehovah God and His Christ alone
reigns. Brethren, be not exasperated. If you can put Olumba in a box and nail it, put him in and
drop it in the depth of the sea. The reign of the Holy Spirit has been revealed. The die is already
cast.

The Arrival Of The Holy Spirit: Coincided With The First World War

At this moment, South Africa is free. The inhabitants are set free today (October 1, 1986), to
come and serve God. I am not the one setting them free. The same Jehovah God and His Christ
sets them free.

Remember His promise of liberation to all, made today as we celebrate the anniversary of
Nigeria's independence. He fulfills his precept of "Live and let Live', so that the white and blacks
should have equal right to serve the Holy Spirit. There should no longer be any oppression in any
quarters. Whether you are young or old, male or female, this is the opportunity for you
throughout the whole world to save yourself.

You remember the first world war. It was the handiwork of our Lord Jesus Christ because it was
said that you will hear rumors of war but you will not see the war. That was its fulfillment. That
war could not, therefore, be attributed to any person.

You will recall the dream of the three Nuns in Rome in 1918 about the arrival of the Holy Spirit
in Africa. In 1918, there was the out break of influenza at the end of the war. All those events
cannot be attributed to any other cause than the gradual unfolding of the total liberation plan by
God for man.

What now hinders you, you Africans, and indeed all the inhabitants of the world from serving
God? This is the time to worship God in Spirit and in truth by hearkening to His voice. That
should be expressed in such attributes as love, humility, peace, service to God, now and till
eternity.
Brethren, this is the message that I have for the entire world. A stroke of the cane is sufficient
unto the wise. He who has ears let him hear. May God bless His Holy Words. Amen!

REFERENCE: HOLY FATHER'S SERMON ON THE 26TH ANNIVERSARY OF NIGERIA'S

INDEPENDENCE (OCTOBER 1,1986)
"WHITHER AFRICA: WHAT IS NIGERIA'S IDEOLOGY?"

THE TRANSITION TO THE TRUTH

FIRST BIBLE LESSON: JOHN 13:34
"A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another as I have loved you."

SECOND BIBLE LESSON: JAMES 1:16-18

"Do not err, My beloved brethren. Every good gift is from above, and cometh down from
the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. Of his own will
begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruit of his creatures."

GOLDEN TEXT: JOHN 14:15-16

"If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you
another comforter, that he may abide with you forever."

THE VANITY OF MATERIAL THINGS:

Beloved, the transition to the truth has been concluded. Gone are the days when we used to toy
with the Word of God, and engage in ungodly acts. Man's carefree attitude to the Word of God
terminated the previous year, 1994. The year 1995 has given birth to absolute truth and craving
for righteousness. This gospel reveals what hitherto had been the hindrance to all the inhabitants
of the world, including the members of this kingdom.

Many people claim that they are loved by God because of their money, good wife, husband,
children and relations, among other material things. Others thank God for His love towards them
because they are kings, Royal Highnesses, Presidents, Governors, Ministers, Popes, Bishops or
occupying any of the political, religious, social, or traditional posts. Some thank God for
sustaining them and giving them long life. All these are frivolous things of this world. The fact
that you are a millionaire or billionaire, king or queen, President or Prime Minister, Pope,
Paramount ruler, Professor, etc. does not mean that God loves you more than the less privileged.
None of those things is an index of God's love for any person.

This gospel is a follow-up of the one entitled "What is Nigeria's Ideology." Some time ago, a
certain clergyman came to visit the Father for an undisclosed reason. On arrival at the reception,
the man was given the gospel entitled, "What is Nigeria's Ideology?" to read. As he flipped
through the pages, he lost the courage to see the Father and to disclose his mission. When his
entourage urged him to go ahead with their mission and to stop wasting their time, he handed
them the said gospel to read. Meanwhile the clergyman is a man who swore he would never
come to Brotherhood of the Cross and Star to worship a man. He claimed to be a highly placed
person.

The man later disclosed his mission to the Father that he wanted to establish a bank and he
needed some seed money to start his project. He said that a Brotherhood member referred him to
the Father. What disorganized him completely was a paragraph which stated that: "THE
GREATEST OF ALL GIFTS IS THE GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT."

THE HOLY SPIRIT, YOU SHOULD NOTE, IS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT GIFT FROM
GOD. HE MADE HIS PHYSICAL APPEARANCE ON EARTH IN 1918, AND HE HAS
REMAINED HERE FOR ABOUT 77 YEARS NOW, YET HE HAS NEVER BEEN
RECEIVED OR WELCOMED BY MEN. THIS IS THE GREATEST MISTAKE MAN HAS
MADE. NO MAN KNOWS HIM AND NEITHER RECEIVED NOR REJOICED WITH HIM.
EVERY GIFT, BE IT MONEY, FOOD, CARS, GOOD HEALTH, KNOWLEDGE, POWER,
COMES FROM HIM. BUT THE HOLY SPIRIT ALONE IS THE GIFT FROM ABOVE.

All other gifts are mundane and therefore, not durable. All the material possessions are sources
of problems. As an individual living as a bachelor or spinster, you have just yourself as the only
problem. The moment you take a spouse you have procured a second problem, and each child
you beget adds to your problems. At that point, peace will only be an occasional visitor in your
home. It is therefore, sheer foolishness for a man to celebrate and shout loudly that God has
given him a wife and children and so considers himself to be a very lucky person.

If you pray God for long life, it means you are asking for a series of problems upon your head.
You will remain old and even become useless to yourself. The man who prays God to give him
plenty of money and wealth is requesting for unlimited problems. Apart from the insecurity to
your life and property, you will make more enemies and engage in ungodly things to maintain
the status quo, thereby offending God.

THE HOLY SPIRIT IS LOVE:

Our Lord Jesus Christ knows what we need and what is good for us. LOVE is that which is good
for us. This explains why He left us with no other thing than love. He said: "a new
commandment I give unto you that ye love one another even as I have loved you." (JOHN
13:34). Love is the pre-requisite for the kingdom of God. Do not love simply because you want
to be loved, or for the sake of money, or that you would be reciprocated in any way. The purpose
of your love is for the Father to endow you with His spirit. It is the Lord's promise as quoted in
the Golden Text.

Before the birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ, Prophet Isaiah had prophesied that a girl shall be
conceived by the Spirit and shall bring forth a baby boy who would be called Emmanuel,
interpreted to mean, God with men (Isa 7:14). That prophesy could not be fulfilled when the
right time for it had not come. Baby girls at that time were betrothed at infancy and God was
therefore denied a virgin, a woman worthy to have that prophesy fulfilled through her. At the
fullness of time, God caused that prophesy to be fulfilled.

The world is suffering today because of man's failure to abide by the condition given by God that
we should love one another even as He had loved us, so that the Comforter promised, would be
sent to us. He urged us to love one another as He had loved us because on arrival on earth, He
realized that love was the thing which was lacking. Unfortunately, men had not taken the Lord's
commandment seriously.

The man who overcomes the world is the one who has the Holy Spirit. This explains why Our
Lord Jesus Christ conquered the world. When Christ came, He took no interest in any worldly
thing. That was why He did not have a wife, child, formal education or any certificate. This
means He had no house, no car; in fact, He had nothing. He had no regard for the world and the
things in it. HE OCCUPIED HIMSELF WITH THE WORDS AND WILL OF HIS
FATHER. THE HOLY SPIRIT WHOM HE PROMISED TO ASK THE FATHER TO SEND
TO US IS GOD HIMSELF. THE ESSENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IS TO COME AND PUT
ALL THINGS RIGHT.

The Holy Spirit talked about by Christ cannot be purchased in the market, nor can it be fetched
from the stream. The Holy Spirit is love which explains why Christ enjoins us all to love one
another. The number of wives or children, amount of wealth one has will not fetch him the Holy
Spirit. It is not as if the Holy Spirit had not been on earth. There is evidence in Genesis Chapter
one verse two that the Holy Spirit existed before creation. The Holy Spirit was on top of the
waters because there was no dwelling place for Him. He is the Creator of Heaven and earth and
He is also the Lord. But because there was no holy person through whom he could manifest on
earth, He delayed His appearance.

MEN HAD SUFFERED A GREAT DEAL BECAUSE OF THEIR IGNORANCE OF GOD.

WITHOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT, NO ONE CAN KNOW GOD, OBEY HIM OR POSSESS
THE HOLY SPIRIT. Virtues and Godly disposition are the fruits of love. In spite of the
importance of the Holy Spirit, no man has ever prayed and requested for Him. Instead of
requesting for the Holy Spirit, man prays God to give him money, husband, wives, children,
food, and the rest of the material things. No man knows the significance of the Holy Spirit.

Many people and some church denominations claim they know and worship Jehovah alone. LET
IT BE KNOWN THAT GOD'S NAME IS NOT JEHOVAH. JEHOVAH IS THE NAME OF AN
ANGEL. THIS EXPLAINS WHY YOU HAVE JEHOVAH JAH, JEHOVAH ELOHIM, AND
SO ON. THERE ARE DIFFERENT GODDESSES WORSHIPED BY THE PEOPLE OF OLD,
AND EVEN NOW IN CERTAIN PARTS OF THE WORLD. EVEN THE NAME JESUS IS
NOT THE LORD'S NAME. JESUS WAS AND STILL IS A COMMON NAME AMONG THE
JEWS. GOD HAS NOT AT ANY TIME TOLD US HIS NAME IS JEHOVAH OR JESUS. HE
RATHER TOLD US THAT HE IS THE WORD. EVEN, GOD, AS HE IS ADDRESSED, IS
NOT HIS NAME. LORD IS NOT HIS NAME.

GOD IS A SPIRIT:

When God called Moses to instruct him, Moses asked who was speaking to him. The Almighty
told Moses, "I AM THAT I AM." Therefore all the names that He is called by are mere tags with
dialectical bias. The Efik-speaking people call Him Abasi, while the Ibos, Hausa, and Yorubas
call Him "Chineke," "Allah" and "Oluwa," respectively. It may interest you to know that
"ALLAH" is not God's name but the name of a fetish goddess. NO MAN EVER THEREFORE,
KNEW HIS NAME UNTIL CHRIST CAME AND REFERRED TO HIM AS "F A T H E R"
FROM WHOM EVERYTHING ORIGINATES. CHRIST ALSO SAID THAT THE FATHER
IS A SPIRIT; THAT GOD IS A SPIRIT AND THOSE WHO WORSHIP HIM MUST DO
SO IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH (John 4:24).

THE PROMISE OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST TO REQUEST THE FATHER TO SEND TO
US THE HOLY SPIRIT HERALDED THE COMING OF THE FATHER BY HIMSELF. AS
LOVE, IT IS THE FATHER WHO HAS BROUGHT PEACE, LOVE, AND ALL THE GOOD
THINGS.

MAN NOW PROMPTLY CALLS ON THE NAMES OF JESUS AND JEHOVAH

WHENEVER HE HAS PROBLEMS. DOES IT MEAN THAT JESUS AND JEHOVAH ARE
GREATER THAN THE HOLY SPIRIT? DID OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST PROMISE US
JESUS OR JEHOVAH? HE PROMISED US THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO IS LOVE, PEACE,
MERCY, HUMILITY, AND ALL THE VIRTUES. WE SHOULD SEEK FOR THE HOLY
SPIRIT BECAUSE HE IS AN ETERNAL AND UNCHANGEABLE BEING. HE HAS NEVER
BEEN REPORTED SICK, TIRED, HUNGRY, THIRSTY, OR DEAD. HE IS THE TRINITY
ALMIGHTY- THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY GHOST. HE HAS COME DOWN
ON EARTH BY HIMSELF, WITHOUT SENDING ANYONE.

The question is have you received or welcomed Him? Have you rejoiced with Him? Do you
know Him, and do you believe in Him? The Holy Spirit looked around and discovered, from the
time of Adam, that there was no righteous person through whom He could make His advent on
earth. The Spirit has nothing to do with evil, which is the reason why He pleads with us all to
have love for all and sundry.

During the advent of Our Lord Jesus Christ, He was abused, slapped, stoned, and derided, yet He
said nothing and He did not retaliate. If He had responded in anyway to the persecutions by the
people, He would have failed in His mission and the entire world would have perished.

NOW OUR OBLIGATION IS TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER EVEN AS CHRIST LOVED US SO

THAT WE WILL BE ENDOWED WITH THE GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. THIS IS THE
ONLY GIFT WHICH IS JUST AND WITHOUT BLEMISH. IT IS THE GIFT THAT IS
ACCOMPANIED WITH POWER, WISDOM, LOVE, PEACE, RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND
ETERNAL LIFE. THIS IS WHY LOVE IS MY PRIMARY CONCERN.

SOME MEMBERS OF THIS FOLD DO NOT EVEN UNDERSTAND THIS LOVE AND
POWER THEREIN. THEY RATHER DECEIVE THEMSELVES BY THINKING THAT THE
POWER IS IN THE BIAKPAN WATER, OR INSIDE THE FATHER'S ROOM, IN A POT, OR
IN THE WHITE SOUTANE. DIFFERENT PEOPLE HAVE DIFFERENT
INTERPRETATIONS OF THE SOURCE OF POWER IN THIS KINGDOM. THEY ARE
STILL DOUBTING GOD BECAUSE THEY ARE DEVOID OF LOVE, WHICH IS THE
HOLY SPIRIT. MONEY, CHILDREN, AND OTHER MATERIAL THINGS ARE IN
ABUNDANCE FOR THOSE WHO POSSESS LOVE. Read the First Bible Lesson.
FIRST BIBLE LESSON: JOHN 13:34
"A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another as I have loved you, that ye also
love one another."

THE NEED FOR LOVE:

I preach love to you everyday because it is the pivot upon which every other virtue revolves.
That is to say, without love, you are blind, deaf, lame, dumb, and dead. LOVE IS THE HOLY
SPIRIT, (THAT SPIRIT THAT QUICKENETH). It is inevitable that we seek for the Holy
Spirit. The Holy Spirit abhors hatred, lies, stealing, quarreling, drinking, smoking, robust
fornication, and every form of vice. This explains why He said, "MY CHILD IF YOU COULD
GIVE ME YOUR HEART AND LOVE ME, I WOULD USE SAME AS MY TEMPLE
WHEREIN I WOULD ABIDE." The question now is, do you love Him? Have you given your
heart to Him?

THERE IS NO ONE PARTICULAR LOCATION IN THE WORLD WHERE ONE GOES TO

FIND THE HOLY SPIRIT. THE SPIRITS YOU FIND PARTICULARLY IN THE
CHURCHES ARE DEVILISH AND CORRUPT SPIRITS. ONE DOES NOT NEED TO GO
ABROAD TO OBTAIN THE HOLY SPIRIT. THE HOLY SPIRIT IS NOT LIMITED TO
NIGERIA ALONE...HE IS EVERYWHERE. THE ONLY THING THAT ATTRACTS THE
HOLY SPIRIT TO YOU IS LOVE. HE IS THE BEGINNING AND THE END, AND THE
RESERVOIR OF WISDOM, POWER, PROSPERITY, AND ETERNAL LIFE. IF YOU ARE
TOLD THAT THERE IS ANY PERSON IN THE WORLD WHO DISTRIBUTES THE HOLY
SPIRIT, DO NOT BELIEVE IT. THE HOLY SPIRIT IS NOT APPROPRIATED BY ANY
MAN, BUT IT IS ACQUIRED BY AN INDIVIDUAL THROUGH THE EXPRESSION OF
LOVE. IT IS FOR THIS REASON THAT PAUL SAID THAT HE COUNTED EVERYTHING
BUT LOSS SO THAT HE MAY OWN CHRIST AND THE EXCELLENCY OF HIS
WISDOM. (Phil 3:8)

WHO IS IT THAT SEEKS AFTER THE HOLY SPIRIT? IF ANY ONE SEEKS FOR HIM,
SUCH A PERSON WILL NOT SEEK FOR HUMAN FAVORS, AND WILL NOT WANT TO
BE PRAISED OR LOVED BY MAN. AND THAT PERSON WHO HAS LOVE WILL
ALWAYS WANT TO SERVE, BE HUMBLE, MEEK, MERCIFUL AND PATIENT.

It is love that does all the work in this kingdom. No work here is done by any man, woman,
money or power. HE IS NOT IDENTIFIED WITH ANY PARTICULAR COLOR, OR
STATURE. He is black, fair-skinned, white and red. He is equally tall, short, robust, thin,
beautiful, and ugly. He is lightning, thunder, water, air, mountain, wind, tree, ant, among other
things. Can you imagine how long the Holy Spirit has been on earth with man, but He is only
now being revealed? HE HAS COME AS THE FATHER, SON, AND THE HOLY GHOST.

Some people are trying to differentiate between the King of Kings and the Holy Queen Mother.
Others say they do not know anyone else but the Holy Father. All these people are blind and sick
in the head. Except your eyes are opened to behold Him, you will continue to be blind and sick
and dead. It is only when your eyes are opened that you can see clearly and be able to discern
that THE FATHER IS HERE, THE SON IS HERE, THE HOLY SPIRIT IS HERE.
The four wise men had knowledge of the birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ the same day He was
born, and they took off promptly to pay Him homage. They sold all they had, and they were led
by a Star to the Lord, with their gifts. The four wise men were very wealthy persons from the
corners of the world, from the North, South, West and East. These were men who had been
seeking for God, and so they kept themselves undefiled but they were worshiping gods of the
sun, fire, etc. They served God with one heart. Herod himself who was very close to the scene,
did not know that such a great event had taken place. BY THE TIME THE WISE MEN
ARRIVED WHERE CHRIST WAS HE WAS ALREADY TWO YEARS OLD. IF THEY DID
NOT KNOW THE PERSONALITY OF CHRIST THEY WOULD NOT HAVE VENTURED
TO GO IN SEARCH OF HIM.

Three of the four wise men went to Herod to find out from Herod the one that was born king,
whose star they had seen in the East, which prompted them to look for Him in order to worship
Him. Herod became angry because of the news that a King had been born when he was still
alive. No one in his kingdom knew about the birth of the King.

It is unfortunate that the blindness and ignorance that prevented the people of old from knowing
about the birth of the Truth and Love has not ended. Even now many people still find it difficult
to behold this truth. This is the truth that man desires to have. But because of their ignorance,
men continue to search for Him from the North to the South, East to West, and so on.

God does not require your money, food, house, or children. All that He wants from you is
LOVE. You do not love a person so that He may love you in return, or that you may own a car or
be famous. But you love so that the Holy Spirit may abide in you. This means that it is only
Christ who actually loves because He is the only person who has the Holy Spirit.

When Christ was nailed to the cross, He did commend His spirit to His Father (Luke 23:46).
After three days, the same spirit went back to His abode, and began to work miracles among the
people. His love was expressed when Mary Magdalene ran to embrace Him, but He told her not
to touch Him because He had not ascended to His Father, our Father, His God, and our God
(John 20:17). He then gave Mary a message to deliver to His brethren and disciples. But before
she could arrive there Christ was already with His disciples. Who in the world could be
compared to Him?

Our Lord Jesus Christ was seen all over the place doing many wonderful things. He took exit for
three days only and for a particular purpose. Ever since, He has been here with us. The purpose
of His crucifixion was to go to the Hades, after conquering death, to obtain the keys to Hades.
But because of man's blindness, they claim that He is dead and so they are gazing into the sky,
expecting His arrival. That is a continuation of that same blindness and ignorance of past
generations. Does God die or fall sick? Who bestows the Holy Spirit if He were dead?

John the Baptist said it clearly that he baptized with water, but that there was a Being who had
been before him, whose shoe latchet he was not worthy to untie, the person shall baptize with the
Spirit. (Matthew 3:11). Read the Second Bible Lesson again.

SECOND BIBLE LESSON: JAMES 1:16-18

"Do not err, my beloved brethren. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and
cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first-fruits of his
creatures."

THE HOLY SPIRIT IS ON EARTH:

It was in 1960 that I enjoined people to refrain from every form of medication and idolatry. But
because you are blind and ignorant of the truth, you continue to indulge in these evil acts.

And as a result of this disobedience, you encounter many problems. DO NOT DIRECT
ANYBODY TO GO TO ANY PERSON FOR WHATEVER REASON. KNOW THAT THE
HOLY SPIRIT HAS COME BY HIMSELF AND HE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERYTHING
IN THE WORLD. WHETHER YOU SEE HIM OR NOT, AND WHETHER YOU BELIEVE IN
HIM OR NOT, HE EXISTS AND HE DOES NOT RELENT IN HIS WORK. WHOEVER
SEEKS AFTER THE HOLY SPIRIT AND OBTAINS HIM WILL HAVE WISDOM, POWER,
PROSPERITY AND ETERNAL LIFE.

The promise that this generation will not pass before the Holy Spirit reappears has been fulfilled.
(Mark 13:30). HE IS HERE. ONLY A FEW YEARS ARE LEFT FOR HIS MANIFESTATION
IN FULL FORCE. THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY GHOST ABIDE HERE ON
EARTH. YOUR PROBLEMS ARE TRACEABLE TO YOUR IGNORANCE OF HIS
PRESENCE ON EARTH.

This is indeed a very lucky generation. Abraham, Melchizedek, and the rest of the patriarchs
were longing for this kingdom but they could not behold it.

You and I are very lucky to have that promise fulfilled in us. This explains why in this kingdom
no instruments of orchestra are used; we do not clap hands, neither do we burn incense, or light
candles, and we do not make sacrifices or do anything that is unseeming. OFFER YOURSELF
COMPLETELY THEREFORE TO HIM AND WATCH HIM TAKE CONTROL OVER YOU.
YOU ARE ONLY A WITNESS TO THIS TRUTH. GO AND TELL THE WHOLE WORLD
TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER AND TO REFRAIN FROM HATRED, BACKBITING,
CAUSING DIVISION AND IDOL WORSHIPING. IT IS ONLY WHEN WE REFRAIN FROM
EVIL THAT THE WORLD WILL WITNESS THE GLORY AND MAGNIFICENCE OF THE
HOLY SPIRIT.

All the problems of men are traceable to their unbelief and ignorance. There is bound to be wars,
famine, and all kinds of problems as long as man continues to sin. BUT IN SPITE OF THIS,
ALL THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN GOD AND DO HIS WILL CANNOT BE AFFECTED
ADVERSELY BY ANYTHING.

It is funny that a man who desires peace drinks. Do you know that drinks can push you into
problems and even make you commit murder? Why should people who want peace take up
machetes, clubs, and drums into the streets?
It is ridiculous for a man whose ambition is to live a peaceful life to get married, seek for money,
and to associate with the world. All these material things bring problems. The Holy Spirit is the
reservoir of peace and all good things. Consequently, the kingdom of God does not consist in
eating and drinking but in peace, in righteousness and joy in the Holy Spirit.

Those who are lucky enough to be called into this kingdom to see this love, peace, and wisdom
should be resolute and upright. Having been brought under His protection, be reassured that
nothing can harm you.

Recently, I told you the story of God's Ark of Covenant with the Israelites. I made it known that
the Ark had two purposes-life and destruction. God kept this Ark with the children of Israel for
their peace, good luck, power, and prosperity. But during one of their wars, the Israelites lost the
Ark to the Philistines. And when the Philistines took the Ark home, they were besieged with
diverse problems. They died in their numbers daily. In their bid to discover the source of their
woes, the Philistines were told that the Ark which they captured from the Israelites was the
source of their problems. They quietly returned the Ark at night to the shores of Israel. The
Israelites found the Ark and they became prosperous once again. However owing to the sins they
committed, the Israelites began to die in their numbers. That is how the Holy Spirit operates.

Anyone who is devoid of the Holy Spirit, i.e. LOVE, has perished. Whoever continues in evil
shall continue to be in distress. But the person who refrains from sin is free. In no distant future
robbery, murder, hatred, and every form of vice shall end.

THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN US. THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE ONLY ONE
CAPABLE OF FACING THE WORLD SQUARELY BECAUSE THE WORLD WAS MADE
BY HIM. HE IS OMNIPOTENT, OMNIPRESENT, OMNISCIENT. HE CAN MANIFEST
HIMSELF IN ANYWAY. The disobedient ones should continue until they are confronted by the
Holy Spirit. Read the Golden Text below.

GOLDEN TEXT: JOHN 14:15-16

"If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father and He shall
give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever."

REFRAIN FROM EVIL:

Beloved, this is the time for us to refrain from fornication, lies, unbelief, disobedience, and every
form of vice, so that we may be in peace with God. When you used to have money, cars,
children, wife, husband, were you living in peace? The manifestation of the Holy Spirit has
brought about peace, love, and prosperity on earth. And anyone who complies with His
injunctions, shall have peace, love, strength, wisdom, and prosperity unlimited from this year.
You have therefore been commissioned to go into the world and tell them that the Holy Spirit
has manifested on earth. Let the people of the world know why they should refrain from sins.
Tell them that whoever kills shall be killed, any judge who condemns another person to death
shall himself be condemned to death. Tell the people who take delight in taking people to court
to refrain from such acts or be damned. Tell the President, civil, and public servants and all the
inhabitants of the world to refrain from evil. HE HAS COME TO JUDGE AND REWARD
EVERYONE ACCORDING TO HIS WORK. All problems in the world: wars, lamentations,
hunger, pains, etc. have all vanished.

The churches and individuals are suffering a whole lot because they blaspheme against the Holy
Spirit. This is in fulfillment of this promise that whoever shall speak evil of the Son of man shall
be forgiven, but any man who shall blaspheme against the Holy Spirit shall in no wise be
forgiven, whether in this generation or in the next. (Matthew 12:32). This explains why many
people and churches are facing problems. They call the Holy Spirit juju, mermaid, apparition,
and all the evil names. However, they should repent now and accord the Holy Spirit His due
glory, and their problems will be over.

The Holy Spirit is the owner of everything. Therefore give Him every praise and glory. Do not
give His glory to any man.

Tell the people of the world to confess their sins and be baptized in the name of the Father, the
Son and the Holy Spirit, and all will be well with them.

It is said that a stroke of the cane is sufficient for the wise. Those who have ears let them hear
what the Holy Spirit has imparted to the entire world. May God bless His Holy Words. Amen.

Thank You Father.

EVERLASTING GOSPEL BY
LEADER OLUBA OLUMBA OBU
THE SOLE SPIRITUAL HEAD
BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR

LOVE IS THE INSTRUMENT OF GOVERNANCE

FIRST BIBLE LESSON: MATTHEW 22: 36-37

"Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the
Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind."

SECOND BIBLE LESSON: JOHN 13: 34-35

"A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you that ye
also love one another.
By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."

GOLDEN TEXT: 1 JOHN 3:23

"And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and
love one another, as he gave us commandment."

BRETHREN, let everybody open his ears, and eyes and broaden his intellect. Do not make
noise. Do not fidget. Listen with rapt attention to the words proceeding out of the throne of God.
That is necessary because as the whites say, "start well, end better." Today marks the beginning
of Akwa Ibom State. Similarly, today is also the beginning of Cross River State. Because it is
only one person who owns them both. The owner of the two States, who also owns other states
in the country, as well as the continent and the world at large, sends this message to all the four
corners of the world. This celebration is not exclusively for Akwa Ibom, or Cross River, or
Nigeria, or Africa, or any particular geographical description. It is for the whole universe. This
celebration was designed before the foundations of the world were laid. But as our Lord Jesus
Christ said, heaven and earth shall pass away but my words shall not pass away till all are
consummated. (Matt 24:35/Luke 21:33) Today marks the consummation of the word of God.

Do not rejoice because of a state or a country. Do not rejoice because of a city or in feasting.
This gospel, the word of the Lord, is the exhortation sent to you today. A state is not a new thing.
A country is not a new thing. A Republic is not a new thing. Independence is not a new thing.
But the gospel now preached, is the new thing before you.

It is said, a child who walks circumspectly will kill what killed his father, but a child who does
not walk circumspectly, whatever killed his father, will kill him. It is for this reason that Isaac
told his son to hunt for venison and make savory meat so that he cold eat and bless him. Gen
27:3-4).

Know this therefore that what we have gathered here for, is not to thank God but to receive
blessings. You came to receive the key to the city of God which states and nations lack. The
Father says you should today come and receive this key.

Today's gospel is for all generations. It is my wish that it should be produced in a booklet and
disseminated to all parts of the world because it is the key to the Kingdom of God as well as the
foundation of any state. A Spiritual song says, a child asks of the father in love, the Father
accepts to give to the child in love, and the child should receive from the father in love.

People mistakenly assert that God does not require anything from man? Who tells you that God
does not require anything from man? I want to declare to the hearing of all the inhabitants of the
world that God wants something from you.

That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant. In the same token, God
told Abraham when he was not given any land, when he was yet without a child, nor where to
step his foot; know of a surety that your seed should be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and
shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; (Gen 15:13-14). and also that
nation whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward they shall come out with great
substance to a land I have kept for them and will serve me."

After they had been removed from bondage to that promised land, listen to what happened. As
you had already been told through songs, and gospels, do not forget that the Israelites were under
bondage in Egypt for about 430 years. Similar things to what happens now had also happened in
greater dimensions in those days. For this reason, when Moses was sent to remove the children
of Israel from bondage from the hands of Pharaoh, God also promised that he would harden
Pharaoh's heart. (Exodus 7:3/14:4/10:20,24,27). In the end, Moses answered that the people will
neither believe him nor hearken unto his voice. And the Lord said unto him, what is that in thine
hand? And he said, a rod. And He said, cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it
became a serpent. (Ex 4:3). God showed Moses other signs which he has to use in persuading
both Pharaoh and the elders of Israel.

This goes to show that this is a shortcut to heaven while the other is a very long route. Moses
showed the signs. He caused water to turn to blood but Pharaoh did not let the Israelites go. I do
not want to treat the story in detail, but to make it as brief as possible so that I may deliver the
core of my message to you. Because when there is a consensus, there is harmony.

You are the children of Israel and today history has repeated itself. You will learn a lesson from
the analogy. The whites say, ‘ experience is the best teacher.’ You will have your lessons to learn
so that what befell them may not come to you. All the same, to say God forbid does not prevent
the occurrence of death because what has been written had been written.

What happened thereafter? At the manifestation of each sign, Pharaoh promised to release the
Israelites, at the end of such a sign. At the end of such a sign, he would refuse to keep his word
and challenge that Moses should do whatever he wished.

All the resistance by Pharaoh was caused by the Father. This is so because God had told Moses
to ask for the release of the children of Israel but that He would harden the heart of Pharaoh. All
the happenings around are caused by the Father. No man is responsible for any event, neither
shall man be responsible for any events to come. That is the bit I want you to understand.

In the end, God told Moses that the Israelites should celebrate a feast. He asked Moses that every
man should use a lamb, a male of the first year out of the sheep or goats, according to the house
of their fathers, a lamb for an house? Everyone was to kill it in the evening and use the blood,
and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall
eat. No part of the animal was to remain till morning. Whatever remained was to be burnt.

You are familiar with the Spiritual chorus, thus, it is only the king who knows the secret of his
Kingdom. We all float like oil on top of water. When He instructs you to do anything, go and do
so, no matter how stupid it appears. Do it without questioning.

When the Israelites were celebrating the feast, the Egyptians looked at them as inconsequential
and stupid. Early the following morning all the male first born in Egypt, including Pharaoh's,
died. After this did Pharaoh ask Moses, Rise up, and get ye and the children of Israel and go,
serve the Lord as ye have said. (Ex 12:31).

Brethren can you see what feast can accomplish. Do you see the handiwork of God. What man
cannot do, God can do. Brethren, I do not want to expatiate in detail. I am merely scratching the
periphery. Connect the illustration above to our own experience. I am merely linking up the past
with the present.

Realize that before, it was said that they shall come to this land and serve me, there was a
particular thing they were meant to go and do. I do not want to delve into the inconveniences
they met on the way. I am using this analogy as a premise so that we can guard against what
happened to the Israelites.

The exhortations you receive today were such as were meant for you before the creation of
heaven and earth. It is for this reason that I say that today's lesson is a guide to every home and
state. No matter the volume, it will be printed into a booklet so that if you want to depart from
the way, it would serve as a reminder to all of you.

When the children of Israel left Egypt, they thought that the Canaan of their dream was an
already built and furnished city, which flowed with milk and honey. They equally expected such
provisions as store buildings, ocean going steamers, money stored for them in hundreds of
thousands. They were eager to inherit that land.

Republicanism is not a joke. You blacks do not understand the true concept of Republicanism.
You do not understand what is meant by independence. The whites are also ignorant of its true
meaning. The gospel I have given to you, is meant for all Nigerians and Africans. Today, has the
whole world been given true independence. Whatever was left will be released, so that this
injunction may be kept by all the inhabitants of the world without hindrances.

Firstly, twelve spies were sent by the Israelites to study what the promised land looked like.
When they arrived, ten of them wanted to discourage the others concerning what they saw.
Throughout their exodus in the wilderness, they had not met with as strong persons as the
occupants of that land. Ten of the spies wanted to go and tell others that they would not be able
to penetrate the land. The other two spies discouraged them from this pessimism.

When they returned, they told God that they had not found that land. The land they saw, since
they started fighting, they had not met with such persons. Some people had twelve faces, while
others had four. They were very gigantic. That was the land kept for their fathers by God.

What reply did God give to them? God told them that he had no other land to give to them, that
the land they saw was that promised. If they could, they were to acquire it, if not, it was their
business. That was the first hurdle.

Secondly, when they had completed the acquisition of the land, Joshua stood up among his
people and said, choose you this day whom you will serve, whether the God that had eyes but
could not see, ears but could not hear, legs but cannot walk, but as for me and my house, we will
serve the lord who brought us up and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, from the house of
bondage. (Joshua 24:15)

Remember that God had promised to lead the Israelites out of bondage to a land he had promised
them, where they will serve God. They no longer had to serve themselves but on that land, they
had to serve the Lord God.

What can a murderer do for God? What can a person who holds tenaciously to the traditional
belief that God does not die and the Ikpo masquerade does not die, able to do for God? What can
a person who says that God does not die and so the Ekpe, or Obon cults does not die.
Do you not realize the situation clearly enough? God has saved Nigeria so that we may come
and serve Him. God saves Africa so that we can serve Him. God saves the entire world so
that they may serve Him. He has now created the Akwa Ibom State so that we may serve Him.
It is not for us to serve ourselves or to continue in indulgence in the preparation of concoction,
hatred, murder and strife. If we should continue in this way, what will be the use of such an act
of benevolence? What shall it then benefit God?

This now explains why you are today gathered here, to be told, "This is my commandment that
ye love one another." (John 15:12). That is the commandment of this new Kingdom.

We are all true witnesses to the fact that Cross River State and indeed this part of the world lacks
in economic and political powers. But religious power is sufficient unto us. God, even the Holy
Spirit, is sufficient unto us in this part of the globe. However, I do not want to delve into that
area, because it is better to inherit God from your father and mother than to inherit wealth.

The scripture says, seek ye first the Kingdom of God and its righteousness and all other
things shall be added unto you. (Luke 12:31) That is the great injunction. At all times, the word
of God is a two-edged sword.

After God had created everything, He commanded Adam and Eve to freely eat, "but of the tree
of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it, for on the day that thou eatest thereof,
thou shalt surely die." (Gen 2:17) God gave Adam the power of superintendency over fishes,
animals, birds, trees and other creatures of God and also gave him the injunction not to eat of the
tree of the knowledge of good and evil for any day he ate of it, he shall die.

Because of disobedience, the world is beset with problems. At all times, God had a
plan and purpose for His chosen people. By right, the first thing you should seek to
know after manifesting on this plane is to know the plan of God for you. You should
find out why He has sent you, who your maker is and what He wants you to do. If
you are a chosen of God and you do that which God wants of you, you will reap the
yields of this earth.

You will recall that during the exodus, before the Israelites finally settled on the promised land,
Moses went to the mount to receive commandments from the hands of God. The commandment
stated why God wanted the Israelites and what they were required to do. Today, has the Lord set
for Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Nigeria, and indeed the whole world, to receive this commandment
from God in the manner given to Moses.

I want you to read Exodus Chapter 20. I do not want to recite anything by heart. Many of you
claim you are Christians and do attend Qua Iboe Church, Lutheran, Roman Catholic and so forth.
Some claim to belong to different geographical environment. Check yourself whether you have
conformed with the will of God as prescribed in the portion.

EXODUS 20:1-17
And God spoke all these words, saying, I am the LORD thy God, which have
brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other
gods before me.
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in
heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous
God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of
them that hate me: And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my
commandments.
Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him
guiltless that taketh his name in vain. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work:
But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou,
nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy
stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and
all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and
hallowed it.
Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy
God giveth thee.
Thou shalt not kill.
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Thou shalt not steal.
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his
manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor's.

Let our first lesson be read.

FIRST BIBLE LESSON: MATTHEW 22:36-37

"Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him,
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy
mind."

Who is the man who says that God does not require anything from man? Can you not see what
God wants? God wants us to love him with all our hearts, and with all our souls, and with all our
minds. HE HAS GIVEN US THIS STATE, GIVEN US INDEPENDENCE AND
GRANTED US FREEDOM. HE HAS SENT US HERE SO THAT WE MAY LOVE HIM
WITH ALL OUR HEARTS, WITH ALL OUR MINDS, IN ALL OUR LIVES, AND ALL
ABOUT US.

The fore requirement is, Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee
any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth
beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor
serve them. You should not eat their food nor have anything to do with them. But love your God.
All the commandments revolve around this.

This explains why God gives us the freedom to liberate the whole of Africa and the world at
large so that we can serve Him, love Him with all our hearts, and souls, and minds. When you
are under a foreign rule, you are like a little child, and no better than a slave. Then you are
subjected to worshiping strange gods. Now that you have been liberated, and have been given a
state or land of your own, you are free to love God with all your hearts, and souls, and minds,
and to serve the Lord God alone.

What happens to Nigeria, and Africa, and the whole world is like unto what happened to the
children of Israel. What happens to all the inhabitants of the world is what happened to Adam
and Eve. That is why I tell you that the word of God is a two edged sword. God kept gold, other
precious pearls as well as other good gifts of God in the Garden of Eden and kept Adam and Eve
to enjoy them all. There was neither hunger, nor lack, nor sickness, nor night. There was no
problem. Nothing like quarreling and fighting among them. Man and animals lived together.
That was as long as he kept God's instruction and did not violate the law of God by eating of the
forbidden fruit. But right from the time he ate of the forbidden fruit, God removed him from the
garden. Right from that day, man became subjected to punishments and sufferings.

This explains why I tell you that a child who walks circumspectly will kill that which killed his
father, but a child who is not circumspect, even what killed his father will kill him. When the
Israelites left the worship of strange and false gods in Egypt, they were given the commandment
to usher in a new way of life. They accepted the commandments with joy. But in the long run,
they returned to their former deeds, sacrificed unto idols, poured libation to the gods of their
fore-fathers, committed fornication, murmured against God.

If you read 1 CORINTHIANS CHAPTER 10:7-11 you will see what happened to them. It is
said, Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat
and drink, and rose up to play.

Neither let us commit fornication as some of them committed and fell in one day three and
twenty thousand.
Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.
Neither murmur ye, as some also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition,
upon whom the ends of the world are come.

The Israelites themselves, in the face of their fate, regretted having come out of bondage, from
the land of Egypt. Today have Africans not regretted? Have the inhabitants of the world not
regretted? Can you not see the magnitude of man's suffering. Where is life? Why are things the
way they are with you?

It is because you have forgotten the exhortations of the Lord and have entered unto the path of
iniquity. He saved us so that we may serve Him but you had all the while refused. It is for this
reason that we are called today, to bring to our remembrance all that we had forgotten and
reaffirm God's stand concerning His expectations.

What is going to be our instrument of governance in this new Kingdom of God? Let our
second lesson be read.
SECOND BIBLE LESSON: JOHN 13:34-35
"A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved
you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have
love one to another."

I have committed myself. You have committed yourself. All of us have committed ourselves by
saying that God has given us the state. Here is God giving us His first commandment to love
Him with all our hearts, and with all our souls and with all our minds. Now our Lord Jesus Christ
has spoken of a new commandment which is to love one another. By this shall all men know that
we are the children of God. Our weapon of war here is no other thing beside love. You can now
see that if all Africans were to possess love, or if the whole world were to possess love, there
would have been no problem.

It is not a man-made law. It is not the instruction of a village or Clan Head, or that of a
government. It is the commandment of God. A new commandment I give unto you that you love
one another even as I love you. By this shall all men know that we are the children of God.

Is it an apparition that has given you this state? Or is it mermaid, or the Ekpe or Obon cults that
has given you this state? Is it man or money that has given you this State? The state is given to
you by Jehovah God and His Christ. Therefore you have to obey Him. That is God's injunction to
us all.

It was for this reason that we were called. Our Lord Jesus Christ re-emphasizes love at this
creation of the new state, that you love one another. That is the required instrument of
governance in this state, and in the whole country of Nigeria, as well as the whole world. This is
the way of life that God wants from us.

It is for this reason that our Lord Jesus Christ says, "Other sheep I have which are not of this
fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice, and there shall be one fold, and
one shepherd." (JOHN 10:16).

The person who has given us this state, is our Lord Jesus Christ. His blood has amalgamated the
inhabitants of the world. It is neither angels nor man, whether white or black. Our Lord Jesus
Christ has liberated the whole world so that we may live in love. It is love alone that is our
instrument of governance.
If independence were to be gained by money, Africa would have remained in perpetual slavery.
If it were based on wisdom, Africa would have perished in slavery. If considerations were placed
on power, or any other conditions, we would have had it tough. But since all conditions are
based on the love of Our Lord Jesus Christ, His blood has redeemed us so that no one may have
a defense and that we may love one another, and walk according to His commandments.

That is why He has called on us and indeed all the inhabitants of the world. Whichever place is
left unliberated, whether it is South Africa or elsewhere, our Lord Jesus Christ will liberate them
all.

Our Lord Jesus Christ enjoins us, as the Father loved me, so love I you, abide in my love. (John
15:10) Right now, it is expedient for all Cross River or Akwa Ibom indigenes to love themselves.
All Nigerians, Africans and the whites should love themselves. Everybody is Brotherhood, and
there it is meet and right for us all to willy-nilly love one another.

When our Lord Jesus Christ told the Jews about the doctrine of love, they said He was demented.
If they had practiced this lesson, they would have ruled the whole world. Since you are the
children of Israel, the Father had given an instruction since 1983, and this instruction was
contained in a circular which stipulated that from a certain time, people should refrain from all
manners of sins, every person should reconcile with their adversaries. Also, every man was
enjoined to live in peace. Later, all those from the then Mainland part of Cross River State were
directed to celebrate a unity feast since they were the children of Israel.

Here comes a requirement from our Lord Jesus Christ. A new commandment I give unto you that
you love one another even as I had loved you. If we love all men, going into nooks and corners,
into waters and everywhere that man is found, not only in Cross River State, or Akwa Ibom
State, or Rivers or Anambra State, but throughout the white and black world. By this shall all
men know that you are the children of God.

There are many things we should receive from the hands of God but for our disobedience and
stubbornness. There is nothing that love cannot accomplish because love does no wrong to his
neighbor. Love is the fulfillment of the law. A new Commandment is given to Akwa Ibom,
Cross River State and indeed the whole world that we love one another even as Our Lord Jesus
Christ loves us.

Even if you call yourself a pope or a bishop or Jesus Christ, or Jehovah, if you do not love all
men, you deceive yourself with your hypocrisy and not God. It is a veritable truth that only the
children of God hear the word of God. It does seem as if God wants to use the indigenous people
of Akwa Ibom to set an example for all the inhabitants of the world.

This is evident because our Lord Jesus Christ had said that as the lightening passes from the east
to the west, so shall the coming of the Son of man. If somebody says, He is in the secret
chambers, go not forth, if they say He is in the desert, go not forth. (Matt 24:26)

Time was not when Our Lord Jesus Christ ceased to exist. There was no time that God did
not exist. There was no time that there were not prophets. But if God does not reveal
Himself to man, no one will know Him. If God reveals Himself to you, is this not greater
than your possessing cars, ocean going steamers, being a chief, or governor?

The worldly achievements are but nought. The greatest thing is for God to reveal Himself to you.
Throughout all the whole world, the place where God reveals Himself more lavishly, where
God is conscientiously believed, is Akwa Ibom. You are a true witness to the love of God for
this group of people.

It is not an easy thing for a millionaire to know God. It is not an easy thing for a member of
secret societies to turn to God. It is not an easy thing for a chief, or Royal Highness, or Professor
or any prominent young man or woman to turn to God if it were not that God revealed Himself
to such a person.

As Our Lord Jesus Christ says, All things are delivered unto me of my Father and no man
knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to
whomsoever the Son will reveal Him. (Matt 11:27) This also explains why our Lord Jesus Christ
asked his disciples, whom do men say I am? They told Him, some say you are John the Baptist,
some say you are Elijah and others say you are Jeremiah. He turned and asked them, whom do
you say I am?

Peter rose up and told Him, you are Christ, the Son of the High God. And he said to Peter,
Simon, Bar-Jona it is not flesh and blood that has revealed this to you but my Father who is in
heaven. (Matt 16:17).

Can you not see the implications clearly? While others are saying till our Lord Jesus Christ
comes back, or complain that Lord Jehovah has departed from us, here we are with Our Lord
Jesus Christ, with the Almighty God, with all the angels, God is the supreme. Our Lord Jesus
Christ has revealed Himself to all from Akwa Ibom State. There is no person to whom He is not
revealed. Even those who claim to be enemies, or those who claim they are from other states, He
has revealed Himself to them as well.

Can you not see that we are a lucky set of human beings. We are indeed the luckiest. Imagine the
number of people. Anywhere you go that there is Brotherhood, you will find people from Akwa
Ibom forming the majority.

If there is a lucky place, Akwa Ibom is the luckiest. If you are guided with this exhortation in all
your dealings, Akwa Ibom State will become a world wonder. I know you have doubts in you. In
spite of your doubts, go and practice this gospel. Right from today, go and love one another, and
you will then realize the proven power of God.

If Nigerians, practice this one gospel and love one another, you will witness the progress in the
country. Love is the only thing to rule the world. This is the reign of Jehovah God and His
Christ. No other thing reigns. Neither hatred, nor malice, nor man, nor death, nor sickness,
reigns. It is only our Lord Jesus Christ who rules for ever. Let the golden text be read. It is your
take home package.

GOLDEN TEXT: 1 JOHN 3:23

"And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and
love one another, as he gave us commandment."

Have you heard what is read to you? That is all. These are the three most important injunctions.
Firstly, love your God with all your heart, and with your soul, and with all your mind. Secondly,
love one another even as He loves us. If you love all men, irrespective of state, country or race,
all men shall know that you are a child of God. Finally, the golden text tells us, And this is His
commandment, that we should believe on the name of His son, Jesus Christ, and love one
another, as He gave us commandment.
It is for this reason that whatever we want to say or do, we begin with, "In the name of Our Lord
Jesus Christ". We do not just say Jesus because others answer the name, Jesus as well. When you
say Jesus, are you referring to Bar Jesus or which? But this is our Lord Jesus Christ; the more
reason we say: In the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Salvation comes from Him. If you want to
pray, or give testimony, or make any request, it is through His name. In addition, you should
show the expression of love. Love one another as God commands you.

People contend that God has ten commandments. He does not have ten commandments. The
commandments hang on this that you love one another, and believe in the name of His Son, that
is all. Ask all things in His name and you shall receive. (John 14:13-14) If you believe in the
name of His Son Jesus Christ, you will love one another as He commands us. Conversely, if you
love one another as He commands us, you will not fail to believe in the name of His Son Jesus
Christ.

It is said that faith goes with work. Faith without work is dead. (James 2:26) You claim you
believe in Jesus, and cry out everywhere;" O! Jesus. But you are stealing, committing murder,
telling lies, indulging in the preparation of concoction, drinking, and hating others. Which Jesus
do you profess? Your stand is not clear.

You claim that you have love, that you commit neither fornication nor any act of sin, yet you do
not believe in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. What you profess is in vain.

This love now preached to you is the instrument through which Akwa Ibom State, other states of
the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and all the countries of this world will be governed. It will be
used in this world and in the world to come. Let all call on the name of the Lord and He shall
save them.

The reason why I have cited these portions is to provide you ample opportunity to read at home.
Many allege, that Brotherhood is not a Christian organization, or does not know our Lord Jesus
Christ, is vampire. The taste of the pudding is in the eating. Tell me any church denomination
that practices this gospel.

In Brotherhood, all of us love the Lord our God with all our hearts, and with all our souls, and
with all our minds. We love no other thing apart from Him. Here we love one another. Fowls of
the air, and animals in the bush, we love them all. We eat neither fish nor meat; talk less of
killing them. All the inhabitants of this world are Brotherhood. Here we do nothing with any
other name apart from the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. We abide only in His love.

We do not submit to the ordinances of men. We do not imitate any person. Our attention is
focused on this word of God. I therefore call on all and sundry, whites and blacks, Cross
Riverians and Nigerians, angels and men and the created and uncreated things, to look at Him
and to trust in Him alone.

A stroke of the cane is sufficient unto the wise. I do not intend to be tedious unto you. He who
has ears let him hear. May God Bless His Holy Words. A-men!

NIGERIA, THE NEW JERUSALEM:

FIRST BIBLE LESSON: MATTHEW 24:34-36
Verily I say unto you, this generation shall not pass till all these things be
fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

SECOND BIBLE LESSON: 1ST. CORINTHIANS 15:51-54

Behold I show you a mystery; we shall not all sleep but we shall all be changed. In a
moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead
shall be raised incorruptible, and we all changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruptible,
and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is
written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

GOLDEN TEXT: MATTHEW 5: 18

For verily I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one title shall
in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

GOD'S WORD IS STATIC:

Beloved brethren, I do not have much time to waste on this sermon, because it
is a familiar one. You are aware that everything in this world is created by God through the
power of the spoken word which was in the beginning with God and the word which is God.
Considering this fact therefore, the word of God is the perfect truth. This word has come in order
that the world may put everything all right, but the world does not seem to recognize Him.
Therefore brethren since you are all aware of the truth, that the word (GOD) has come into the
world, it is your place to stand firm. Man must not continue to give glory to man, tree, air, river,
computer,etc. Whereas it is God who has designed everything before they appear and function as
you are now seeing. Glorify and appreciate Him for He is the God who when promises, He
fulfils accordingly. And when He speaks, it surely comes to manifestation.

INSTABILITY IS FOR SIN:

Brethren, if you have been doubting His words, start now to believe that His words are
nothing but the truth. He is also the truth, for it is the word that He used in creating everything.
Doubt no more what you are and will be seeing and hearing. But stand firm and believe that
sooner or later every word of God must come to manifestation. It may be today, tomorrow, next
month, next year, or even twenty years to come. In spite of the duration of times, you have to
maintain your faith. Stand firm and believe seriously in His words, and you will never be
disappointed.

THE WORD IS ETERNAL:

The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but the word of God shall not pass away unfulfilled.
It is very essential that you take note of this lesson because that day and that hour no man
knoweth. Not even or the angels in heaven, except the Father. Do not examine God for, from the
beginning of the world, no man has ever succeeded in doing this. Again do not doubt God for no
man has ever doubted God and been safe. Further still, ask God no questions for nobody has ever
asked Him questions gainfully. Do not murmur against God for nobody has ever murmured
against Him and lived. Even the present occurrences around you are enough to convince you that
all the words of God have been fulfilling.

THAT PROMISE IS FULFILLED:

When Adam was driven out of the Garden of Eden, he showed a high level of remorse. God
on seeing this, promised to re-visit man and renew the relationship the second time. This that
specific time adequately fulfilled. Doubt not that God who is the word, is always standing firm
by His word. His word can never change. He honors His words forever and in His word is no
vile. Do not say that it is Satan that is responsible any occurrence, because it is entirely the
manifestations of the word of God. If you therefore abide strictly in His words, then everlasting
life will be yours. Do not put your trust in anybody, angel, or anything else, rather, put your trust
in his words. The word of God is such that when it falls on the ground, it breaks mighty rocks,
gets up and manifests its glory. Do not be proud of anybody, knowledge, money, life, etc. but be
proud of His words only. Hold firmly unto all the spoken words of God and do not doubt even an
iota of the word of God. You may recall how Our Lord Jesus Christ told His disciples to go
round and pick up the particles of the left over food. This was when He used two fishes and five
loaves to feed five thousand people. The same thing is still applicable to God and His words
now. He would not want any of His words to go unfulfilled. He is the Master Planner and when
He outlines His plans, nobody can successfully oppose them or try to correct any part of them.

HAVE A SIGH OF RELIEF:

Brethren, this sermon is a redemption message unto the entire world. It is certainly a faith
strengthening sermon. You have to stand firm for by so doing you are sure to have eternal life.
God is the God of destiny and so whatever God has written for you must surely come to
fulfilment. WHY SHOULD YOU LOOK FOR A VISIONER TO HELP YOU PRAY SO THAT
WHAT HAS BEEN WRITTEN OF YOU MAY NOT COME TO FULFILMENT? WHEN YOU
DO THIS YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A BIG FOOL. Out of ignorance the entire world is
joking with the word of God, hence its unending deplorable condition. Even that statement made
by Christ that a city without a prophet is doomed, people do not regard as anything. They claim
the statement was made by a man. The word of God is forever meaningful. It is the truth, life,
power, light, everlasting life, and the recondite wisdom. Although the word of God sometimes
takes long before it comes to fulfilment, also, bear in mind that when all hopes are gone the
savior will finally appear. To justify further what I am now saying, you can recall that this
kingdom has long been promised for Abraham, and it is only now and in this generation that it
comes to fulfilment.

OLUMBA'S CARES ARE WONDERFUL:

PUT YOUR TRUST IN THE WORD OF GOD FOR IT SHALL NEVER DISAPPOINT
YOU. The world does not believe in the word of God, people only believe in what they see. That
is why if you go now and tell somebody that you heard a dead man talking, he will not believe
you. This is because he only believes in what he must see physically with his eyes. Recall what
Moses told the children of Israel that God Almighty shall raise somebody who would be higher
than him, amongst them, and that whosoever would not harken to his voice shall be slain. He
was talking of Christ. But by then nobody had ever heard of Christ. Eventually that statement has
come to manifestation. In confirmation still, when Christ came into the world, He told the Jews
that if they had believed in what Moses prophesied about His coming, the judgement would not
have been against them. Moreover, since they believed not in the prophesy of Moses, how then
would they believe in Him. Similarly, you all have been joking around with the word of God.
But I am telling you now not to take the word of God as a joke.

FIRST BIBLE LESSON: MATTHEW 24:34-36

Verily I say unto you, this generation shall not pass till all these things are fulfilled.
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour
knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

THIS IS A SERIOUS SITUATION:

Brethren what do you derive from this sermon? I want you to stand firm by the spoken word
of God, because sooner or later it will come to manifestation. Doubt no more, examine God no
more and guess no more. But take it just as you are hearing it. Stand firm and be ever ready for it
can happen at any time. For it is said that this generation shall not pass away without the
fulfilment of the spoken words of God. Very many people are thinking that the word of God is
only meant for the Israelites. But I am confidently telling you now that it is not so. THE WORD
OF GOD IS A UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE WHICH CONCERNS EVERYONE. THE WORD
OF GOD HAS NO BEGINNING AND IT HAS NO ENDING. WHEN YOU HEAR ABOUT
THE END OF WORLD IT DOES NOT SUGGEST THE TOTAL FOLDING UP OF THE
WORLD, BUT IT MEANS THE END OF A SINFUL RACE AND ACTS. YOU MUST HAVE
BEEN HEARING THAT GOD WILL ONE DAY DESTROY THE WORLD. THIS IS
CERTAINLY SO, BUT IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE WORLD WILL BE TOTALLY
EXTERMINATED. IT RATHER MEANS THE PASSING AWAY OF ALL SINFUL ACTS
AND THEIR ADVOCATES. THEN THERE WILL BE NO MORE DEATH, FORNICATION,
HATRED, SORROW, DIVISION, CONCOCTION, SICKNESS, LIES, WAR, KILLING,
TRIBULATION, SUFFERING, TRIBALISM, WHITE OR BLACK RACES, ETC. I WANT
YOU TO ALSO TAKE NOTE THAT THERE WILL BE NOTHING LIKE MARRIAGE,
GOVERNMENT OFFICES OF ANY KIND, PRISON YARD, POLICE, ARMY, SCHOOLS,
UNIVERSITY, DEGREES TRADITIONAL RULERS, CLAN HEADS. THERE WILL BE
ONLY THE GOVERNMENT RUN BY GOD HIMSELF.
GOD IS THE MATER PLANNER:

Do not be worried how all these things shall come to be, for it is for this reason that it was
nominated in 11PETER 3:1 that there shall be in the last days scoffers walking after their own
lust and saying, "Where is the promise of his coming?"

Every thing is the manifestation of the spoken word of God. For this reason, you should not
praise any man for whatsoever happens to you. But at all times, give glory unto God alone. No
occurrence in the world is caused by man or angel but all your daily experiences are caused by
the word of God. That is why the more people examine God, the more foolish they become. Also
the more people try to reform this world the more wicked the world becomes. THIS IS
BECAUSE IT IS NOT WRITTEN THAT MAN WILL REFORM THE WORLD, RATHER IT
WAS WRITTEN THAT THE WORD OF GOD SHALL ACCOMPLISH EVERYTHING.

Therefore whatever the people of the world are trying to do amounts to nothingness. It is too
late for them and it is a secondary effort. THE WORD OF GOD HAS ALREADY
ACCOMPLISHED EVERYTHING AND CONSEQUENTLY THE KINGDOMS OF THIS
WORLD HAVE CERTAINLY BECOME THE KINGDOMS OF GOD AND HIS CHRIST.
VERY SOON EVERYTHING IS GOING TO MANIFEST IDEALLY. Then there shall be no
more crying, lamentation, poverty, sorrows, death, sickness, court cases, etc. Everybody shall
live in perfect peace, love, joy, harmony, oneness, etc. And so whoever shall listen to this gospel
and seriously stand firm will discover that he or she is very lucky, for such is the one who will
inherit everything in this world.

DESERT CARNALITY:

Brethren this world and the things therein cannot benefit you and so do not put your trust in
them. Always be in spirit, because flesh and blood will not qualify you to see God. AND
ALWAYS STAND FIRM BY THE WORD OF GOD. FURTHERMORE IT IS SAID THAT
HEAVEN AND EARTH SHALL PASS AWAY BUT THE WORD OF GOD WILL NEVER
PASS AWAY WITHOUT FULFILMENT. Therefore brethren be keenly watchful while
standing firm by His words because NO MAN OR ANGEL KNOWS THE DAY, TIME, OR
WHEN EVERYTHING WILL COME TO FULFILMENT. And take note that everything I am
telling in this sermon constitutes salvation, joy, love, peace, and everlasting life therefore for you
to know whether they are true or not, try and put them into practice. By so doing you will have
nothing to argue about the truth of what I am saying to you now. Without doubt ALL MY
TEACHINGS MANIFEST FROM GOD HIMSELF AND HE IS THE ONE DIRECTLY
SPEAKING NOT CHRIST. Therefore do not toy with my words and do not try to subtract
anything from it. Your duty is to stand firm and believe. By so doing you will be completely
saved. Hence it is said that Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. THE WORD OF
GOD IS FOREVER THE SAME. IT DOES NOT FADE, NOR CAN IT BE STALE. THAT IS
WHY IN THIS LAST ADVENT HE CONTINUES TO LAY MORE EMPHASIS ON HIS
WORD.

EAT AND LIVE ETERNALLY:

 The word of God is the bread of life that descended from heaven. And whoever shall taste of it
shall have everlasting life. This explains the reason Christ had to say,"Whosoever does not eat of
my flesh and drink of my blood, such a person shall not have everlasting life." Brethren do not
waste your time trying to convince anybody to stop indulging in sinful acts. Let him go on as it is
clearly indicated that the wages of sin is death. But whosoever commits sin must unfailingly die.
Prayer, fasting, feasting, etc.,cannot save or change the situation. It is the positive spoken word
of God. Are you not afraid of hearing that? And so let the worldly people try as much as they
can, the word of God remains the same. Whosoever sincerely puts the word of God into practice
shall have everlasting life.

Now I want you to realize that if you believe in this sermon and stand firm, you shall have seen
God and then you will be salvaged. God does not mention names, but every happening is
fulfilled.

SECOND LESSON: 1ST CORINTHIANS 15:51-54:

Behold I show you a mystery; we shall not all sleep but we shall all be changed. In a moment, in
the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet, for the trumpet shall sound and the dead shall be
raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and
this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and
this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written,
Death is swallowed up in victory.

SAVE YOURSELF:

Beloved brethren, have you heard that? Whether somebody believes or not, the word of God is
purely true. All those who had died right from the time of Adam shall rise up again. It is God's
promise and thereafter there shall be no more death. This is the most secret thing that I am
revealing to you today. It is the secret of secrets. There shall be no more death, all those who had
died right from Adam shall rise again. This is specifically what will make the world to last
forever.

Therefore do not continue to cry or lament that your father or your mother is dead. Just believe
and stand firm in what I am now telling you, that within a twinkling of an eye, all those who had
died, right from Adam shall rise again. Notwithstanding there are those who shall not taste of
death, till that day comes. But generally everybody shall be changed from the corruptible to the
incorruptible body that shall never be condemned, but which of course shall live forever. THIS
IS THE PROMISE OF GOD AND NOT THE PROMISE OF A MAN OR AN ANGEL. It is
really an outstanding promise. Even if the whole world unites and prays that God should change
such a promise, brethren, it is too late. His promises have nothing to do with the veritable
promises of man. Therefore do not try to add or subtract anything from it.

GOD ALONE IS THE CONTROLLING FACTOR:

Now consider how the population of the world increases alarmingly daily. Right from the time
that God made that pronouncement," Go ye all and multiply," the population rate went up. Upon
what people have been trying here and there to either abort and kill, the population is not
reduced. Even here in Calabar the population is inestimably high. Therefore when you claim that
somebody is dead, it means that you do not know what you are saying, because the more people
die, the more and more they are being born. Therefore worry not yourself for anything.
Everybody is going to be changed from the corruptible to the incorruptible body. Do you ever
listen to the type of pronouncement the Father always makes when He wants to ordain people?
Are you not surprised to hear such a pronouncement? If you have been listening spiritually too,
you should have understood the type of incorruptible blessing contained therein. Take time for
you will not understand when all these things will take place. It is not The work of the flesh, but
it is the spoken word of God. Do you know how you came to Brotherhood? Do you know how
you managed to become a vegetarian? All those people you claimed to have died for long are all
here. They are those who will be first changed to the incorruptible body before those who will
still be living.

THE MOST CARING ELDER BROTHER:

Now recall what Christ had said to His disciples that they should not be troubled that in His
Fathers house there are many mansions; that if it were not so He should have told them; that He
was going to prepare a place for them so that when would come back they would be with Him.
Now is that time. He has come back to gather together all His elects.

HOW GENEROUS IS OUR GOD:

Brethren do you hear that? It has been stated that Ethiopia shall rise, but people did not
believe it. But what is the case today? Are we not the Ethiopians rising? Recall that brother who
came here all the way from Eastern Ethiopia? We are the westerners. Are you not surprised at
what you are seeing today? Is it caused by man? It is the fulfilment of the spoken word, that
Ethiopia shall rise. The same thing applies to Nigeria. Nobody knows what Nigeria shall become
shortly. WHEN I TELL YOU THAT NIGERIA IS THE NEW JERUSALEM, HOW MANY OF
YOU DO BELIEVE ME?

The Father had accomplished everything before he descended on this earth plain. What is now
left is for this to be brought to light. It is therefore very essential that you rejoice exceedingly for
witnessing this great era. It is not at all because of your righteousness. In fact there are those who
have been praying for this type of a thing to happen in their country, but it has eluded them. The
Americans are trying tooth and nail to make sure it is being transferred to their country, but it is
too late for them. Are you not surprised to see this type of a priceless thing happening in your
midst? You have not seen anything yet, just believe and stand firm for very soon you are going
to see wonders.

DO NOT BE LEFT OUT:

Even in the world today, things are undergoing diverse changes. Everywhere you go to, even
inside the bus, the only thing you hear is the gospel, for everybody is being changed gradually.
And as Sister Etop has recently testified, in 1999 the spirit of fornication will vanish completely,
this is the genesis of it all. Even before now very many people have decided to quit fornication,
drinking, smoking, etc. Essentially all the spoken words have come to perfect manifestation.
What I am doing now is a mere revision. Even before Mary was conceived with Christ, God had
already revealed to prophet Jeremiah that a virgin shall conceive and bear a male child who shall
be called Emmanuel, meaning" God with us."

Believe me brethren, NIGERIA IS A NEW JERUSALEM. NIGERIA IS THE MOTHER OF

ALL THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD. Therefore there is no problem for whatever Nigeria.
Everything is excellent in Nigeria. And very soon you are going to see wonders. This
consciousness has unfortunately eluded the entire world for everybody is planning and anxiously
preparing to see when Christ would come and land in their country. But what is the case today?

GOLDEN TEXT: MATTHEWS 5:18

For verily I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one title shall in no
wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

DO NOT BE CAUGHT UNAWARES:

Brethren do you now believe that all what is happening in the world is a manifestation of the
spoken word of God? What remains with the blacks, and you can see that it has already started.
Go to South Africa and you will see the whites freely mixing with the blacks. Go to America you
will see the blacks happily going with the whites. Also in the West Indies and Australia the
situation is the same. The blacks are naturalizing everybody, and London is not left out. But
prior to now, the blacks were regarded as beasts. Just wait and you will see what is going to
become of Nigeria. All these are the fulfilment of God's promise. It is stated that Christ shall first
resurrect thereafter, all those who keep His commandment shall also resurrect. At that time you
shall see with your eyes all those you had claimed as having long died. Presently, Adam and all
the other prophets of old are here.

EVERY SPIRITUAL SIGN IS SYMBOLIC:

Now do you know the meaning and the significance of Gold, Myrrh and Frankincense
presented to Our Lord Jesus Christ by the three wise men? The Gold, Myrrh and Frankincense
signify the physical coming of God Almighty into this earth plane. Frankincense signifies power,
Myrrh signifies eternal glory, while Gold signifies wealth. Therefore if all these meaningful
things are presented to man, what else remains? Beloved it is said that a stroke of the cane is
enough for the wise.

Let he who has ears to hear, hear. May God bless His Holy word. Amen.

THANK YOU FATHER

EVERLASTING GOSPEL BY
LEADER OLUBA OLUMBA OBU
THE SOLE SPIRITUAL HEAD
BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR
THE DEATH OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST UNITES THE WORLD

FIRST BIBLE LESSON: MATTHEW 27:24-26

"When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult
was made, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the
blood of this just person: see ye to it. Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us,
and on our children. Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he
delivered Him to be crucified."

SECOND BIBLE LESSON: MARK 15:24-25

"And when they had crucified him, they parted his garment, casting lots upon
them, what every man should take. And it was the third hour, and they crucified him."

GOLDEN TEXT: LUKE 23:50-53

"And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counselor; and he was a good
man, and a just: (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he was of
Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the Kingdom of God. This man went
unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid
it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid."

Brethren, the texts summarize the theme of our revelation. We can preach a verse of each of the
texts for twenty years because each passage contains its peculiar teachings and revelations.
However, we will not spend our time in detailed explanation. We are doing a little sketch,
summarizing everything in a nutshell. Other occasions will provide the opportunity for detailed
explanation.

This gospel is premised on the fact that it was on Thursday, at 6 a.m. that our Lord Jesus Christ
was condemned to death. At 6 a.m. on Thursday, Pilate condemned him to death, and at 9 a.m.
he was crucified. The scripture reveals how Pilate himself tried to set Him free. He kept four
hundred soldiers on guard to quell any riot, should he release the Christ. Since it was the will of
God, the Jews mounted great pressure on Pilate and kept shouting that Our Lord Jesus Christ
should be crucified. In order to forestall any possible riot, Pilate scourged and delivered the Lord
Jesus to them to sacrifice. In response to what Pilate said to disassociate himself from their
desire to crucify Him, the Jews shouted that His blood should be upon them, and upon their
children, and their children's children. Go today and see the pathetic state of Israel. When you
argue that you want to do what the Israelites did, go and see their condition today. The ruler of
heaven and earth was born to lead and rule over them, but they rejected and killed Him. Until
doomsday such an opportunity will never offer itself to them again. Their repentance today
means nothing because they had pronounced that his blood should be upon them and upon their
children and upon their children's children. This should be a great lesson for you and me and all
the inhabitants of the world.

Israel was the nation that God loved above all other nations. The Bible was written by them.
Abraham was of that stock. They were the chosen people of God. But what is the position of
Israel now? This will show you that "though hand be joined together in prayer the wicked shall
not go unpunished" (Prov 11:21). If we were to be wise, we would have learnt a great lesson
from what had happened to the Israelites. If you come across a man of God, leave Him alone, no
matter what he has done. Leave everyman to his way because you do not know what that person
is. It does not pay any person to commit any evil or ever think of it. Because whatever you sow
the same you will reap. (Gal 6:7). In his judgement, Pilate admitted he found no fault in Him.
(Luke 23:14). Have you ever seen a governor who finds no guilt or fault in someone and yet
condemns the person? It was because he was seeking for the glory of the world. He wanted to
release Him but they told him that if he released Him, he would not be a friend to Caesar. For
that reason, he was afraid. Think of a situation where someone is brought before the court and he
is not found guilty. On what grounds will he be convicted by the court? The quest for the things
of the world carries the people of the world into destruction. Pilate's wife went by herself and
told her husband that her soul had suffered terribly that night because of that man. She warned
Pilate to have nothing to do with His death. When Judas Iscariot saw that Christ was condemned,
he took the thirty pieces of silver and threw it at them, saying that he had betrayed an innocent
Blood. (Matt 27:4). That was another testimony to Christ's innocence.

Pilate himself, who was the governor, admitted that he saw no evil in Him. Who is the person in
whom no fault is found except God? Think of any person in the world, in whom no fault is
found? Our Lord Jesus Christ had no fault, and Pilate confirmed this.

Why then was he crucified? He died for your sake and mine; for the sake of all the inhabitants of
the world. His death was to redeem all the inhabitants of the world from their sins. The question
is: has man realized his position? If we were to understand what he has done for us, there would
be no person in the world who would not rejoice today. Since he is our Creator, He came and
shed His blood to take away our sins. He is the one who will change us unto Himself.

This gospel is meant to strengthen your faith so that when people make a statute of the
crucifixion and tell you that, that is the Lord Jesus, you know what to say. By their action, they
still assert that Our Lord Jesus Christ is still hanging on the cross. But he did not hang on the
cross for more than nine hours. To portray that Our Lord Jesus Christ is still on the cross is a
source of confusion for so many people. If you tell people that he is on the cross, those with
weak minds will question the rationale behind following someone who is perpetually on the
cross. The death contract was for seventy-two hours only. Forever and ever such a contract will
never be signed again.

This gospel will concentrate on the time he was condemned, and when he was taken into the
grave. It will convince you that he was really killed. Having been convinced of his death, you
will also understand what is meant by his resurrection. Moreso, you should note with this that
God is able to do everything and thus allay your fears about death.

You are advised not to fear death, because as Our Lord Jesus Christ demonstrated that there is no
death. The promise of conquering death is not for Him alone, but for you and me and for all
creations throughout eternity who believe in Him. He came to reveal his power and glory, that
He is the I AM THAT I AM. It is not meant to instill fear into someone to serve God. It does not
call for indecision. I have always told you that if you do not preach about Our Lord Jesus Christ,
you have not preached the word of God.

The word of God is Our Lord Jesus Christ. When you talk about other things, besides Him, you
are talking carnally and your words are vain. We shall explain each of these tests at other times
and emphasize what they stand for. The lesson today shows us that we have boldness because He
has taken away from us death, tribulation, sorrows and all kinds of weaknesses on one hand. On
the other hand, the doubts we have been entertaining about God are cleared. It provides us a
golden opportunity to rejoice fully in Him. Take the action of Joseph of Arimathea as an
example. Did any of the twelve disciples do what he did? When you argue that you are the only
Brotherhood in your family, how do you know that you are the only one?

Every person has his specific work and service to God. Joseph of Arimathea had nothing to do
with the decision of the Council to crucify our Lord Jesus Christ. The decision was taken by a
handful of persons. It is common to find that a few disgruntled persons would take a decision in
the name of the whole village. Joseph of Arimathea was not among them and he knew nothing
about their evil plans. I want you to think about a person like Joseph of Arimathea who took that
course of action. How do you regard him? He was not associated with Our Lord Jesus Christ
physically during such a critical time, yet he went straight to Pilate and asked for his body and
Pilate gave it to him. Where have you ever seen such a man? Do you not realize that this was
planned by God? Joseph of Arimathea laid Him in a sepulchre prepared for himself, where no
one had ever before been laid. Who made such arrangements except God Himself?

It is good for us to preach the life of our Lord Jesus Christ from His birth. This will give you joy,
consolation, faith and boldness. This will brighten your eyes to see more and more that there is
God. Right before his coming up till the time he finally did, all that was written about him were
words of God. As I had already told you, from Genesis to Revelation contain His story alone. If
you have the Bible, believe in its message. If you do not believe in the writings of the Bible that
is entirely your problem. All that happened, including the action of Joseph of Arimathea are
written in the Bible. His sufferings, death and resurrection were all prophesied in the scriptures.
These events occurred so that your faith may be straightened; that you may know that God
exists. There has never been a time when God was not with His children. There has never been a
time when God forsook His children. God does not save you because you serve Him or because
you love Him. He does everything just to manifest His own glory. It was on Thursday 3 p.m. that
Our Lord Jesus Christ gave up the ghost. You are aware that if He did not give up the ghost, He
would not have been taken to the sepulcher. If He did not die, the soldier would have broken his
legs. If He did not die, He would not have resurrected on the third day. He has told us that
"unless a grain of corn falls to the ground and dies, it remains alone: but when it dies, it brings
forth much fruit." (John 12:24). It should have been a great surprise for our Creator to die and
remain in the grave forever. On the third day God caused Him to resurrect. If you were to believe
in Him, would you not also believe that there is no death for you? For this reason, he died and
now lives, that all those who believe in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. (John
3:16). Our first lesson will now be read.

FIRST BIBLE LESSON: MATTHEW 27:24-26

"When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he
took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this
just person: see ye to it. Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our
children. Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered
him to be crucified."

Do not forget that the Jews' feast of the Passover was coming up. Is it on Thursday that the
Passover was kept? I have already told you that they had agreed that He should not be arrested
on the feast day so that there may not be a tumult. That was why they arrested Him at 3:00 a.m.
on Thursday. At 6:00 a.m. on that Thursday, he was condemned. At 9:00 a.m. He was crucified.
If the event took place on the Sabbath, was Friday the Sabbath day? We are feeding you with
this knowledge so that the Thomases who were led astray in their belief may know that we are
observing the events as they happened. It explains why we fast from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on
Thursday to commemorate his death. Since he had mentioned three days and three nights, Pilate
condemned Him at 6:00 a.m. on Thursday and from that time, He was regarded as a dead man.
At 9:00 a.m. he was crucified. At 12:00 noon he was still on the cross. At 3:00 p.m. he
committed His Spirit into the Father's hands and fainted. At exactly 6:00 p.m. Joseph took down
his body, and took it to the grave.

That is why we always commemorate the crucifixion every Thursday by fasting from 6:00 a.m.
to 6:00 p.m. We hold the Bible Class every Wednesday. After the Bible Class we conduct Watch
and pray until 3:00 a.m. when he was arrested; after which we eat the Last Supper at that time we
can disperse.

What was done to the Israelites will be done to the Gentiles. This is the time of the Gentiles and
what was done to the Israelites must also be done to them. It is not surprising that Isaac had two
children, and when Rebecca did not yet conceive, the word of prophecy came that the elder shall
serve the younger. (Gen 25:23). Rebecca conceived two nations in her womb. Since it was
written that the elder should serve the younger, that is why it is said that it is not of him who
wills nor of him who runs the race but of God who shows mercy. (Roman 9:16). That is why I
tell you that you should not make any comment over what you see because everything is
wrought by the fingers of God. People argue that Jacob used tricks to usurp the position of Esau;
that is not true. If you are hated, it is an act of God. It is also an act of God, if someone loves
you. When the children had done neither good nor evil, and were not yet born, it was written that
the elder shall serve the younger. Jacob I loved but Esau I hated. (Rom 9:13). This is so that the
will of God may be fulfilled. Esau did not know why he struggled to come out first of his
mother's womb. You can see how the blacks push and force their way in anything they want to
do. But the whites are calm and calculating in their ways.

This is attributable to one's nature. You cannot depart from the nature that God has given to you.
Since it was written that the elder shall serve the younger, (Genesis 25:23). That was why things
occurred the way they did. Since God is impartial and omnipotent, Jacob received the blessing.
Isaac became blind in order that the will of God may be fulfilled. When it was time for the
blessing, everybody knew that Esau was the first born, and that he should inherit the blessing. He
was hard-working and obedient to his father. The mother loved Jacob. Jacob was like a daughter
to her, and he served her. But the father loved Esau because he was his first-born, and he also
ministered to him in the house. If Isaac had his sight, nothing would have induced him to bless
Jacob.

God caused Isaac to be blind and he blessed Jacob in order that the will of God may be made
manifest. It will not be surprising if Esau assumes his rightful place today; he had for long
accomplished his work, and he is entitled to his reward. Esau has no problems.

Whatever you have belongs to you. Do not be surprised if you do not find many whites in this
Kingdom. No one is responsible. It is the Father doing His work. If you preach to the whites and
they listen to you with rap attention, it is not done by you neither are they responsible. It is what
has been written down. Esau is the firstborn.

Do not compel any white man to come here. Allow him to his own will because before the
foundations of the world were laid, God had already arranged everything in its shipshape order.

As you have already been told, you have to clear the bush, and He will set fire to it. God does not
cheat anyone. What you sow is what you reap. (Gal 6:7) And whatever God plants has to stand.
After blessing Jacob, Esau later appeared, and Isaac told him that there was no other blessing.
Esau was the rightful owner of the position. But because of the prediction that the elder shall
serve the younger, that vision had to be allowed to fulfill itself. After its fulfillment, it was put
aside. As you have been told, visions will pass away. After each vision has been fulfilled it has
to pass away for what was instituted from the beginning to be made manifest. The whites know
that the black man is the firstborn. They have no doubts over this as you do. You complain that
you have neither money nor wisdom. Is this a matter of money? What wisdom did Jacob
possess? Did any work qualify him for the blessings? It was Esau who labored while Jacob ate
gratis. That is exactly the situation now. Ethiopia shall rise.

If somebody had told you that in this world, a black man will pick up the Bible, travel to the
white man's country, and preach to him, nobody would have believed. Today, they are looking
for you. When you go there, they ask for your permission to touch your garment. They are
weeping and searching for you. They are not responsible neither are you responsible. They are
the fingers of God, as this is the appointed time. Whenever the time appointed for a particular
thing is ripe, it must be manifested. You can see that man can of himself do nothing. In the end
Isaac prayed that God should remember Esau. He said to Esau, "by the sword shalt thou live, and
shall serve thy brother, and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou
shalt break his yoke from thy neck". (Genesis 27:40). Right now Esau has broken Jacob's yoke
from his neck. This is why all the black should shout out for joy.

It is not a question of he has healed my sickness or given me money. This is the glory of God
which has come to Africa and to the entire world. This is the fullness of time and you will notice
the joy all over the world. Peace will flow and abound because the black man has a different
lifestyle.

Whoever argues that God does not love the blacks should pray for himself because he has not
read the scriptures. Abraham begot Isaac. Isaac begot Esau and Jacob. Rebecca gave birth to
twins, who represented the blacks and the whites. If everything had worked according to our
expectations, the whole world would have been one. If the first had taken his position, there
would be no problem in this world.

The saying that the first shall be last and the last shall be first, and also that he who laughs last
laughs best, has been fulfilled with the blacks. The Father has given us the boldness to do this
work. He has strengthened us. He is the one who does everything. We have to go to the white
man's land and to every part of the world and preach the good news of this kingdom. The Father
is before and behind us.

This is the work that lies before us. The ability does not reside with man. Whether you like it or
not, you will find yourself where you least expected, and you will work until every person sees
and believes. There will be no division between the Jews and the Greeks, there will be no wars,
quarreling and problems again.

Let the second lesson be read so that you may realize that Christ died for the whole world in
order that there may be no division. He had accomplished everything when He said, "It is
finished." (John 19:30). He has rearranged everything in the world. His garment was divided
according to the four corners of the world and so everything has been brought together.

SECOND BIBLE LESSON: MARK 15:24-25

"And when they had crucified Him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon
them, what every man should take. And it was the third hour, and they crucified Him."

If the situation was not the fulfillment of prophecy have you guns, or money, or wisdom to have
attained a Republican status of your own? That is what the death of Christ accomplished for us.
Right now you are free. Even though you have no money, you have the Father.

In 1940, and up till 1950, you were slaves to colonialists. All the land was Crown Land. You had
no say whatever in the running of the government. You remember that when Dr. Nnamdi
Azikiwe said that Nigeria, and the whole of Africa, should fight for their independence, people
argued that we were not ripe for self-government.

Today, we have attained a Republic of our own. South Africa is on its way to liberation. If you
were a slave, your master would not allow you to do anything. The wisdom possessed by one
black man cannot be compared with that of twenty white men. God has made the black man
superior in wisdom, power and intelligence. You will witness what the black man will
accomplish.

A certain white man from Canada came to 34 Ambo Street, Calabar and asked me if I will accept
Him if He practices some of the gospels of God. Another white man came and told me that they
do not practice all the words of God. They only select those they practice. They do not want
anything that will disturb them. But the blacks are trying to practice all the words of God. Even
in university, a white man specializes in only one subject. If he specializes in history he holds on
to that until his graduation. But the black man is made to take all the subjects, yet he passes them
all. We have people here who have been to Europe. If somebody tells you that the whites have
wisdom or money, that is not true. What our Lord Jesus Christ has done for us is that the whole
world may be united. If we are all united there will be no problems again. It was God who said
that the elder shall serve the younger. Right now the elder and the younger are one. If He did not
die, nothing would have made the elder and the younger to unite again, nor will the world be
united. Since he created man, He came and died so that He may gather into one all that was
divided. The whites and the blacks are now one. Male and female are now one. Small and great
are now one. Do not cause divisions again because we are all one. It is good for one to first
suffer under servitude than to be a lord before becoming a slave. Do you realize that if somebody
who is born with a silver spoon in his mouth, that is he has everything he needs, exhausted his
wealth, he can commit suicide. The person who starts life in poverty, lack, deprivation, without
relations, when he prospers, he will continue to go onward.

The blacks are going onward, there is no going back. That is why I have invited Dr. Nnamdi
Azikiwe to come and have a dialogue with me. The wealth, prosperity and peace which are in
Africa will never be exhausted. You are walking on top of wealth. The whites are finding all
possible ways to come over here. The whole world knows this but a crafty person will not
disclose it to you.

That is why it has been said in the scriptures that you have been placed where all precious stones
and wealth was found. You have gold and diamond, and emerald, and all precious stones and
minerals. This refers to Africa. The wealth and mineral resources we have in Africa will never be
exhausted.

Right now you are struggling so that the whites may not come and share in your wealth. Let
them come in because our Lord Jesus Christ died to unite all of us. There will be no wars,
quarreling and hunger. It is hunger which brings about war. Do not fold your arms. Howbeit,
whether you fold your arms or not, since it has been ordained that the blacks will serve God, this
has to be so. The whites will also serve Him and together we shall join hands in lifting the glory
of God. The whites and the blacks will be here, and hunger, famine and wars shall be no more.
All that we see today does not come from man. It is the death of Our Lord Jesus Christ which has
brought everything. They are all words of prophecy and the manifestation of the will of God for
mankind. The darkest hour precedes the dawn. That is all that we are seeing now. You complain
that things are very tough. I want you to be rest assured that all is well.

The only thing is that you should not learn the ways of the whites because they have failed.
Listen to the Holy Spirit. If we listen to the Holy Spirit, we will help them. They have failed by
using the wisdom of the world. They are all walking corpses because they are living an artificial
life. Millions of them have no homes. They live in hotels. They teach you all kinds of
abominable ways of life.

When you return from Europe, you live abominably here; thinking that it is the best way of life.
It is not the best life. You have to go and straighten all that was crooked. These infiltrations of
foreign cultures have done great harm to our country. Whoever returns from Europe behaves like
an European. You fornicate by the roadside, and can commit any vice in the open because that is
what you learnt from the whites. I thank God because Africa is a jungle. We shall start to hew
down our big trees and start building our own cities.

It is for this reason that we must always listen to the Spirit. Do not listen to any white man or to
any person for that matter. Live a new life because this is the new world for which our Lord
Jesus Christ died and resurrected so that it may be built again. This is the New Jerusalem, the
New World. What you see here has baffled the white man because he has introduced the cinema,
he has manufactured the airplane, the submarine and many other things, thinking that that is the
way. But when you say "LET" and sickness goes away and many other things happen, they find
this wonderful because it is not within the limits of their wisdom. For this reason they become
frightened.

And so brethren, every human invention is counterfeit; but what is made by God is genuine. That
is why He came and gave up His life. Even though Pilate tried to save Him, He could not
because there is no crown without a cross. Since the world has perished, He came to redeem the
whole world unto Himself. We all have to rise up.

Do not put on ties and coats and hats. If Christ came and dressed with shoes and hats, we would
not have been saved. He was disgraced and killed, and he endured all in order that we may be
saved. The whites have a great work to do in this Kingdom. Do not say that they are not here,
they are. All those who are in this country have work to do in this Kingdom of God. Take the
case of Joseph of Arimathea as an example. He did not walk with our Lord Jesus Christ but see
what he did. Those who are working hard for Brotherhood are outside doing the same work.

Let our golden text be read so that you may know that all of us have work to do in this Kingdom.
The whites have work to do. The blacks, children, young and old, all have work to do. All you
have to do is to face your duty.

GOLDEN TEXT: LUKE 23:50-53

"And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counselor, and he was a good
man, and a just: (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he was of
Arimathea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the Kingdom of God. This man went
unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid
it in a sepulcher that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid."

If I want to explain this text, we will not exhaust it in twenty years. That is why it is said that
Elijah prayed God to take his life because people had killed all the prophets of God leaving him
alone; and even then they sought after his life. What did God answer him? God said, "I have left
7,000 men who have not bowed to Baal." Have you heard that?

Do you know that the whites and all the inhabitants of the world are waiting for this glory? All
the wealth in the world will be used in building this Kingdom. All the rich men in Nigeria and in
Africa, the governments and companies and all their wealth will be used in uplifting this glory.
There is no problem because God has already prepared everything. Do not worry yourself that
you have no money.

If we were to be the only Brotherhood, we would not exist up till today. There are others outside
fighting the cause of Brotherhood; among the whites and the blacks. The hidden disciples are
more numerous. If they declare that they are Brotherhood they would be stoned. That is why
they are hiding. If you want to stage an opposition to Brotherhood, they will intervene. Should
you ask them, they will argue that they are not Brotherhood but are only doing it, for doing's
sake.

You can realize how God does his work. A certain brother has said that every person is
Brotherhood but not every person will come here. Most of those you find here are not the real
Brotherhood. Those outside, the hidden disciples, are there to defend Brotherhood. You are not
the only one doing this work. It involves the whole world.

In Sierra Leone, the house we are using for worship was given by a Moslem. Right now, the
government is protecting the interest of Brotherhood. In Ndon Ebom, when there was a dispute,
it was the government which defended Brotherhood.

Do not speak evil words against any person. Do not discriminate that one person is Brotherhood
and the other person is not Brotherhood. You do not know who is a Brotherhood and who is not
a Brotherhood. Take the case of Joseph of Arimathaea, the disciples and even the mother of Our
Lord Jesus Christ ran away but he went and asked for the body of Our Lord Jesus. Stop speaking
evil words against any person because you do not know who is a Brotherhood and who is not a
Brotherhood.

God is the God of hosts. He has very many people. He owns heaven and earth and all the
inhabitants of the world. You will see what will happen among the whites. All the money they
have in their big banks will be used in the service of God. All their wisdom will be used in the
service of God. With this, you will not complain that you have nothing. It is the Father who owns
everything.

If it were not the fullness of time, these things would not have happened. God had planned and
completed everything for the manifestation of His glory. Right now, He has taught people to
learn other languages. He has taught people the manufacturing of airplanes and cars for quick
transportation. This will prove to you that he has finished everything.

It is not an easy thing to unify the whole world. That is why he said that this generation should
not pass away until everything is fulfilled. This generation has not passed away; it is about
eleven years more. He has finished everything and the whole world is now one. Do not cause any
divisions again.

Most of the kindness that we receive are not from Brotherhood but from others who are not in
Brotherhood. It is your Brotherhood brother who wants to kill you. All the inhabitants of the
world are waiting for this Kingdom. Even Satan himself is waiting for this Kingdom. Each
person has his own work to do. Whether somebody comes here or not, he is in Brotherhood.

The disciples were walking with our Lord Jesus Christ always but Joseph of Arimathaea was not.
When He died, it was Joseph who went and asked Pilate for the body, and laid Him in his
personal sepulcher. Which is the greater work?

It was the Commercial Manager of NTA Calabar who, when he returned from Europe, stamped
his feet that the Brotherhood Pulpit should be aired. They wrote to Lagos that he should be
sacked. He said that even if they sacked him, they had to air the program. That was one man and
at that time he was not baptized. Was it done by you who call yourself members?

Those who carry Brotherhood on their heads are not here. They are outside and you do not know
them. Even among the whites, if you go there you will realize that God keeps everything in its
place. Do not bother about somebody's color or race because the Father is doing His work.

When you swim, you have to dive and later on resurface. That is full swimming. Do not praise
yourself but praise Jehovah God and His Christ who did hang on the tree. He is the one doing
these things. Neither you nor I nor any person can claim to be responsible.

One stroke of the cane is sufficient for the wise. Those who have ears let them hear. May God
Bless His Holy Words. A-men!

WORLD"

THE PATH TO CHRISTHOOD

FIRST BIBLE LESSON: 1ST PETER 4:17
For the time is come when judgement must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us,
what shall the end of them be that obey not the gospel of God?

SECOND BIBLE LESSON: 2ND TIMOTHY 3:17

But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.

GOLDEN TEXT: 2ND PETER 2:20-22

For if after they have escaped the pollutions or the world through the knowledge of the Lord
Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and are overcome, the latter end is worse with
them than the beginning. For it had been better for them if not to have known the way of
righteousness than after they have it, to turn from the Holy commandment delivered unto them.
But it happened unto them according to the true proverb, the dog is turned to his vomit again;
and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

THE ACCUSED:
Beloved the above texts constitute judgement to everybody. The three text signify the three
classes of people on earth. The first class are those who know this truth, the second class are
those who have seen this truth and after seeing it, go back to wallow in darkness. The third class
are those who have never seen the truth and are content in their position with the arch deceiver.

This judgement will affect the murderers, adulterers, fornicators, sorcerers, thieves and those
who go about committing every evil. On the other hand, you have been told of what awaits
the true children of God who do not have anything to do with evil.

If you bear witness that you are a man of God, persevere in tribulations and do not drink,
fornicate, eat meat and fish, then you have substantiated your claim. But things change and you
start suffering and in the end you declare fully for sin, are you truly a man of God?
The question is, if things are difficult with a man of God, what do you think awaits you a sinner?
Consider the situation where three persons are faced with the problem of choosing a career. The
first person decides to go to school and he continues in his studies and after a while, decided to
stop going to school. His excuse is that education is such a difficult venture. The second person
continued but could not make passing grades in the examination. The third person did not
attempt going to school at all. What do you think about these three persons? This constitutes the
different types of persons in the world. No person has a unique purpose for life.

It is said that judgement will begin in the house of God, where are those who know God? Right
from what man calls the first church: the Roman Catholic Church, Apostolic, Trinity, etc., are
made up of plagiarized doctrines.

In these places, the people engage in idolatry and other forms of evil practices, after which they
return to the churches, claiming to worship the true God. But the truth is that they do not know
how to go about it. These people are in the first group. The second class of people belong to the
churches under the pretense of worshiping God, but they do not want to be associated with truth.
They indulge in acts of immorality. The third class of people are those who have never known
God in their life time.

People claim to be church goers, but are not versed in the word of God. The man who
formed the Roman Catholic church was Boniface and he knew no single word of God. Martin
Luther, the founder of the Lutheran Church could not boast of a single word of God.

Also John Wesley who brought the Methodist Church and all other arms of the so-called
Protestant churches could not boast of one word of God. This is also applicable to all others who
claim to have attended all the churches in the world.

An adage has it that to kill an elephant in the bush is not a tedious task but how to carry the
carcass from the bush to the road is the difficult task. Now, one can say, "we have so many
churches in the world." But the question is, how many are there? There is only one church in the
world and all the others a second-hand stuff.

Since you cannot practice the word of God, you just decide one day to join another church which
you claim belongs to God. Others do not even go to church but remain at home, busying in all
forms of idiolatry.

Read James 4:7: "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from
you."

BE STEADFAST:
Beloved, the above is the main thing you should do. SUBMIT YOURSELF TO THE WORD OF
GOD, HIS INJUNCTIONS WHICH WARN YOU AGAINST STEALING, FORNICATION,
POLYGAMY, EATING MEAT AND FISH, IDIOLATRY, SELFISHNESS, ETC. It is good for
one to submit to God who is no respecter of persons. You should realize that the world had long
been filled with the works of darkness. It is true that we were conceived in iniquities and born in
sin. So, the world was already sinful even before your birth. But since it so pleases the Father to
bring you to the this knowledge of truth, you should hold on steadfastedly to the truth. Do not
care about the scorching sun, hold on tightly to the truth because there is no other truth.

For the falsehood of the world are things which are unwholesome and they bring failure unto
you. Do not have any other God along the existing one. Love not any other thing more than
God and have only God in your mind. Do not worship tree, fish, man or any fetish thing.
But always concentrate on worshiping God only, because that is the task that is before all
men. And once you derail from doing this you have perished. Those who derail from the truth
always console themselves with the saying that there are many Gods, churches, laws, etc. This
means they have derailed from the ways of God. GOD HAS ONLY ONE WAY AND IT IS
ONLY HIS WAY THAT DIRECTS MAN TO LOVE HIS GOD WITH ALL HIS HEART,
AND TO LOVE HIS NEIGHBOR EVEN AS HE CHRIST LOVES HIM. ONCE YOU
ACQUIRE THIS UNDERSTANDING STAND FIRM WITH IT FOR YOU HAVE
CONQUERED.

Consider the conversation that ensued between the Samaritan woman and Our Lord Jesus Christ
as recorded in John 14:20-23. Each and every man comes from God and we are in Him. God is
man, so is love, truth, mercy, humility, as well as other virtues. If you are born in the world and
you also practice righteousness, it means you born by Him, for one is inseparable from Him.

Every good thing comes from God because He is good. The sun, the moon, stars, the food that
we eat, even the words that proceed from our mouths is God. So you should always be at peace
with everybody. Do not quarrel with anybody for that is not the lifestyle of the children of God.
You should neither hate any person, be infuriated, indulge in diabolical acts, cause division, tell
lies, nor ever involve in any sinful act but always love one another as you love yourself. This is
what God likes. Once you cultivate this act of doing good in you, do not return to evil.

And your duty is to continue doing good to as many people as you meet for eternity. This is
because once you fall back, you have derailed from the path of rectitude and therefore you
perish. You should know that if you are known to be doing good to people , a lot more will look
up to you. And whenever there is one that needs help, such a person will be referred to you,
because you are a man of God who must help. In this case, if you should be tired and complain
about the difficulty of the work, you are doomed. We have to resemble God in all aspects. He
makes the rain to fall on both the evil and the good and also the sun to shine on all. This is
exactly what is expected of us. You should keep no enemy, neither should you take vengeance
nor indulge in any act of idiolatry, but rather be devoid of any act of unrighteousness. If it is
uneasy for one who serves God to be saved, what do you think of somebody who runs away
from Him or the one who has never known God at all?

GOD IS THE WORD, HIS WORDS ARE TRUE AND INDEED LIFE. He told Abraham to
leave his home town at the age of seventy five to carry out His service at a place which pleased
God. Abraham harkened to the voice of God. This is what is expected from all those who claim
to know God. Harken to whatsoever you are instructed to do by God without complain.

Surrender yourself completely to God, for there is no other way to salvation except knowing
Him. He is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, he is life, truth, and by heeding to His
voice, you will be saved. In order for you to worship God successfully, you have to pay deaf
ears to whatever people may say. You do not have to see or even look at that which others see,
you are not entitled to see what others see or even look at. In the same vein, you should not say
what others say or do what they do, but always concentrate on God's injunctions. People may
query you on why you are so extraordinary; that you should buy drinks for people, among other
unwholesome acts. Do not listen, for such counsels are not in your interest. Others may refuse
going out with you, giving the excuse that you do not eat meat and fish, neither do you drink
wine, etc. Do not mind but be steadfast and hold on to the injunctions of God.

Recall what happened to Peter and John in their course of propagating the word of God. The
chief Priest and Elders commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Our Lord
Jesus Christ. They retorted and queried whether it be right in the sight of God to harken unto
man rather than God; that they should judge. They decided not to stop speaking and teaching in
the name or Our Lord Jesus Christ, and proclaiming what they had seen and heard. Compare
Acts 4:18-20. In Hebrews 4, it is also on record that our forefathers did not enter the kingdom of
God because they did not harken to the voice of God. And if they were unable to enter, then what
do you think about yourself.

MOSES RECEIVED THE TEN COMMANDMENTS FROM THE ANGELS AND HANDED
THEM OVER TO THE ISRAELITES. They collected them with all amount of happiness but
none of the commandments did they harken to. That was why twenty-three thousand of them
died in just one day when they committed fornication; some died due to idiolatry, others due to
war. Hence they all perished. OUT OF THE GREAT NUMBER THAT WAS BROUGHT OUT
OF THE LAND OF EGYPT, ONLY TWO WERE ABLE TO REACH CANAAN THE LAND
OF PROMISE.
Read the First Bible Lesson again.

FIRST BIBLE LESSON: 1ST PETER 4:17

For the time is come when judgement must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us,
what shall the end of them be that obey not the gospel of God?

PRACTICE THE WORD OF GOD:

BELOVED, RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING TILL DATE, NONE KNOWS GOD. IT IS
ONLY THE COMING OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST THAT INTRODUCED GOD TO
MANKIND. HE BROUGHT GOD TO PEOPLE AND ALSO TAUGHT US THE WAY OF
GOD. SO WHOEVER DOES NOT RECEIVE HIS TEACHINGS IS ALREADY
PERISHED. BUT ALL THOSE WHO RECEIVE HIS WORDS AND PUT SAME INTO
PRACTICE ARE ALREADY SAVED, BECAUSE HE IS THE ONLY WAY, LIFE AND
TRUTH. This is why when you start to practice the words of God, some people would try to
discourage you by saying that the word of God is too difficult to practice. Do not stop, for
though it is not easy, it is life-giving, hence it is said, "No Cross, No Crown."

You are aware of the fact that right from the time Our Lord Jesus Christ was baptized, the spirit
led Him into the wilderness to be tempted. Different classes of women were spread before Him,
money, food, the sorcerers, necromancers and in fact he was tempted from all angles but God
held Him fast. He fasted for forty days and forty nights. That is exactly what is before every
child of God. Our Lord Jesus Christ loved carpentry and during the time of temptation series of
carpentry work were taken to Him. But he did not harken to this, instead He held fast to God and
all the temptations were over. Such is the way of God. But if it is so difficult for a man of God to
be saved, how will it be unto the sinner?

For it is said, "It is impossible that offence will come; but woe unto him through whom they
come! It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into sea,
than that he should offend one of these little ones. (LUKE 17:1-2).

When Our Lord Jesus Christ was led away to be killed, many people followed Him, lamenting
and crying. But Jesus turning to them said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep
for yourselves and for your children." (LUKE 23:28).

If such a statement was made to those who really loved Christ, what do you think about the ones
who do not love Him? You should not, at any time laugh at a man of God. Do not tempt him or
say anything against him, for it is not an easy task to pass through this hurdle. And you, man of
God, you should endeavor to withstand all the slanders, gossips, and whatsoever may come your
way, for once you listen to all these things and slip away from the path of rectitude, your work
has perished with you.

ENCOURAGE GOD'S SERVANTS:

To start up a new project is not easy. For instance, the invention of the aeroplane, motor cars and
other things. Anything that is not yet known is always very difficult to achieve. It attracts much
tribulations and sufferings. In the same way, man did not know God, every one was as ignorant
as the wild animals. It was not easy for Abraham and his wife to leave the comforts of their
home and travel to a strange land. But Abraham responded positively at the age of seventy-five.

When Lot and his family were asked to leave Sodom and Gomorrah, his wife thought of their
wealth. Was it easy for her to exercise caution and harken to the instruction? She could have
caused her husband to derail from God's instruction. It could have been disastrous, if you cause a
man of God to derail he would go unpunished, but you will certainly be punished. So, you
should try as much as possible to strengthen the faith of a man of God because if he is saved, you
are also saved and whatever good thing happens to him, same is to your advantage.

If you read Psalm 15, you will realize that somebody who surrenders himself to the service of
God deserve praises. In fact, nobody knows God for Lucifer vowed that no soul shall praise His
name throughout the surface of the earth. And Lucifer tries to enforce this. That is why it is
difficult for somebody to rise up willingly and follow God. You do not have to make jest of
whosoever decides to follow God. It is because of the challenges of Lucifer that wherever
someone tries to serve God, the whole place will be alarmed. Since it is difficult for man to serve
God, it is unpardonable for one to scorn at a man of God. Rather you should do everything to
encourage him to continue in the ways of God. All men are anxious to follow God but Lucifer
has always been the bane of all the children of God.See Revelation 11:2-12

As recorded in the above text, the people of the world were highly joyous over the fact that the
two prophets mentioned were killed by the beast that came out of the bottomless pit. Their
bodies were left in the open for three and a half days without being buried. But after three and a
half days the spirit of God entered into them; they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon
those who saw them. After that, the prophets ascended and the people were amazed. It is now
time for the whole world to worship God for they have seen his glory, truthfulness, love and
grace.

The situation between a man of God and the people of the world can be likened to when all rats
got up and complained that they were so much worried by the cat and as such they should find a
way to stop the cat from worrying them. Then one among them suggested that a bell should be
hung on the Cat's neck. Then a question arose, who should or would bell the cat? Behold, none
could bell the cat.

You realize that it is not easy to serve God. Recall the case of John the Baptist. For merely
telling Herod that it was unwholesome for him to marry his step-brother's wife, he was sentenced
to death. This has continued till date.
Read the Second Bible Lesson again.

SECOND BIBLE LESSON: 2ND TIMOTHY 3:17

But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.

THE JUDGEMENT:

Beloved, the above constitutes the consequence of the world's statement that the blood of Our
Lord Jesus Christ should be upon them, their children, grand children, and great grand children.
It also constitutes the judgement for whosoever does not know God. You, with all your
belongings, can be easily deceived and you end up in hell. This is the fullness of time and God
has manifested Himself unto all. But it is not easy to trace His route just as the route of a snake
cannot be tracked on a rock. None also can trace the route of a canoe on the sea, likewise the
route of birds in the air.

When you plead an alibi for not serving God on grounds of lack of money, vehicle, qualification,
etc., how can these things help you? The judgement is on, for the owner of the world is
squarely present. Hence there is nothing the government, community, association or individual
can do.

In the year 1967, a letter was sent to Ojukwu that his troops should refrain from killing other
soldiers. In effect, he was asked to stop the war. But the instruction in the letter was not harkened
to. He consequently faced the aftermath of his disobedience. Since then, there has not been any
strong government in Nigeria.

Mankind hates God intensively. Anyone who talks about God faces one problem or the other. At
times, he is commanded to be killed. They are always ready to discourage any man of God. But
is the will of man that of God? We will all see what God will use Africa and Nigeria in
particular for.

At the fullness of time, God's promise that all knees, all heads shall bow and all tongues shall
sing his praises will come to pass. His words are always true. He said that as it was because of
the of one person, even those who were innocent of sin died, so will it be that through one
righteous person, even those who are sinners will be saved. God promised that even when it is
time, those who were not the children of God, will be called God's children and those who were
not the beloved of God will become God's beloved. This is fulfilled for Nigeria which was not
regarded as anything, but today, has become the kingdom of God, the kingdom of love, truth and
joy.

Though people do not believe in the various prophesies, you should watch out for what will take
place in the world soon. The world lacked sufficient people. But now Our Lord Jesus Christ
and the Holy Spirit constitute a person for the world. Do not hope on the whites, blacks and
the government because they cannot help you. Tell Nigerians, Africans, and the entire world to
relax, for God is the person to fight and conquer for them. NO MATTER HOW YOU MAY BE
WORRIED BY OTHERS, DO NOT FIGHT ANY WAR AGAIN BECAUSE YOU DO NOT
HAVE GOOD WEAPONS. RATHER, GOD WILL FIGHT FOR YOU. THOUGH THE
WORLD IS JEALOUS AND WANTS TO USURP NIGERIA'S POSITION THEY CANNOT
BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT GOD. Nigerians, Cameroonians, Europeans and the inhabitants of
the world are my people. Tell them to put back their swords. Let them sit down quietly to see
when the glory of God shall be revealed.

Do not sue your fellow brother to court and do not kill your fellow man. Do not be annoyed, do
not get involved in diabolical practices, and do not claim to be anything, for we are witnesses to
the glory of God in the world.
Read the Golden Text again.

GOLDEN TEXT: 2ND PETER 2:20-22

For if after they have escaped the pollutions or the world through the knowledge of the Lord
Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and are overcome, the latter end is worse with
them than the beginning. For it had been better for them if not to have known the way of
righteousness than after they have it, to turn from the Holy commandment delivered unto them.
But it happened unto them according to the true proverb, the dog is turned to his vomit again;
and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

HOLD FAST TO GOD:

God has taken dominion over the world. There is no going back, for the kingdoms of this world
have become the kingdom of Jehovah God and his Christ. Those who will, in any case, go back
to the world, will face a worst situation. The cow has given birth in the market square so there is
no need for it to close its legs, so says a local adage.

Do not indulge in sin anymore. God has taken over the rulership of the entire world. He has
come with love, mercy, truth, patience, good health, wealth, prosperity, power and every good
thing to rule the whole world. When you testify that you have refrained from diabolical
practices, telling lies, stealing, fornication, war and so on, then you go back to do these things,
what do you think will be your position? God has come down to straighten everything in the
world so that we may be one. IN GOD'S SCHEME OF THINGS THERE IS NO DISTINCTION
IN SEX, AGE, COLOR, RACE, ETC. IF YOU SHOULD DARE MAKE UP YOUR MIND TO
BE DIFFERENT FROM THESE, YOU ARE LOST. IT IS ONLY HIS WILL THAT MUST BE
DONE.

Our Lord Jesus Christ said that all those who gathered not with Him do scatter abroad. The
question is, who can withstand God? When He closes, who can open, and when He opens, who
can close? He has opened all boundaries in the world and everybody is now one. No more
division, killing, stealing, fornication, and other vices. The kingdom is really enriched with love
and the law is that we should love one another. This is the government of Christ. This truth is
known the world over. Anyone whosoever, after knowing this truth decides to go back to the
world, is lost.

No one should go back but proceed forward, for going forward is fear of death, but backwards is
death itself.

Our Lord Jesus Christ said, "Let not your hearts be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in
me. In my father's house are many mansions: if it were not so I would have told you. I go to
prepare a place for you, and if I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you
unto myself: that where I am, there ye may be also." JOHN 14:1-3

It is only the will of God that will prevail in the world. All other plans are vanity. Whosoever
had seen this power of God and refrain from evil, and only go back and start engaging in them
has him/herself to blame

Beloved it is said that a stroke of the cane is sufficient unto the wise, let those who have ears
hear what the Holy Spirit has imparted to the world.

May God bless His Holy Words. Amen

"BUT IF YE BE OF THE SPIRIT, YE ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW."

GOLDEN TEXT: ROMANS 6:14

"FOR SIN SHALL NOT HAVE DOMINION OVER YOU: FOR YOU ARE
NOT UNDER THE LAW, BUT UNDER GRACE."

A KINGDOM WITHOUT COLONIAL INFLUENCE

Beloved children, I have always said that wherever the giver of advice is, there must also be
people to carry out the advice. Wherever a preacher of the word of God is, a doer is there also.
By the same token, I have repeated all the words and instructions of God several times to you but
because of your stubbornness I have to start all over again in order to save you.

The three Bible portions above have one thing, and they reveal the Kingdom of God. You have
been assured in the first lesson that with the presence of faith, none is under the law.

Now we walk in Spirit and live by the Spirit. All problems in the world are caused by the
enactment of laws. The introductions of laws among people has increased the rate of crime
instead of curbing crime in society. Therefore we are not under the law, because we are those
who walk in the Spirit. Anyone who wishes to pass through the law to salvation has been
separated from Christ. With the manifestation of the Holy Spirit, we have nothing to do with law.
Any person who wants to be justified through the law is separating himself from Christ.

So beloved brethren, you have to listen to the Spirit in you at all times. What He tells you to do,
do that, and abhor whatever He asks you to forsake. If I am instructed by the Spirit to stop
preaching now, I will simply stop and get down from the pulpit. If the Holy Spirit directs me to
get into the room and lock myself in there, I would not hesitate. Also if I am directed to come out
to sit in a particular place for a whole day, I would not deviate from that. The children of God are
not under any law because the law was made for law-breakers; the law was made for evil people,
not for righteous and good people. Therefore so long as we are led by the Spirit, we are not
under the law, and we have nothing to do with the law.

Your problem is that your actions are guided by the promptings of the flesh, and you subject
yourself to the flesh, and that is why you quarrel and fight with the people in your midst. The
situation could be likened to the period when the country was under colonial rule and she gained
independence. For self-rule, Nigeria started formulating policies without consultation with the
former colonial master. For instance, a national flag reflecting the interests and objectives which
she wished the people to imbibe, was fashioned and hoisted. A new national anthem was written
for the people, and uniforms for both the police and army produced. All these were to give the
people of Nigeria identity, and to change the people's consciousness.

In order to consolidate her independence, the former colonial currency, the pound sterling, was
replaced with the naira. It was because of the fact that the pound sterling had on its face the head
of the British monarch that Nigerians used to refer to the British pound as the white man's money
and even the civil service was regarded as a white man's job. That is why till today some people
still regard money and the civil service as belonging to the white man. With this colonial
mentality, people prefer to bear such names as John, Peter, James and Paul to the detriment of
their African names. Was your grandfather's name John or Peter? You know quite well that these
names are foreign. Then, why must you continue to bear them and even give them to your
children? Did you know that it is a sign of colonial bondage and an attempt to destroy the root of
your ancestors? You are no longer under colonial bondage and you should behave as free men.

Many streets, towns, and cities in the former colonial territories with foreign names are now
radically changed to reflect their freedom. The churches are not spared in this attachment to the
superiority of the whites. They cannot take any independent decision on their own without
consulting their headquarters in the Western world. Under such conditions, it means that
countries with churches having their headquarters in the Western world are not yet independent.
They are still under the yoke of slavery. Those in the Roman Catholic Church are ruled from
Rome.

BROTHERHOOD IS ORIGINAL:

No matter the level of education and social status acquired by the blacks, the white leaders of
these churches still regard them as slaves.

The Pope who is in Rome is their President and ruler. This is the cause of many problems and
confusion in the world today. None of the branches of the Catholic missions scattered all over
the world has the authority to initiate any meaningful policy with regards to the affairs of the
mission and their individual country. The same is applicable to the church of England. All the
branches are controlled from England. Members of these foreign churches are still slaves to their
foreign colonial masters, and are so regarded by the whites.

BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR WHICH IS THE NEW KINGDOM OF GOD
IS LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. WE ARE THEREFORE NOT UNDER ANY LAW NOR
COLONIAL YOKE. WHEREVER A BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR
MEMBER IS, HE HAS THE FREEDOM TO OPERATE BECAUSE HE IS LED BY THE
HOLY SPIRIT.

It is said when the priesthood is changed, the law of necessity must change: "For the priesthood
being changed, there is made of necessity a change also in the law." (Hebrews 7:12).

Formerly England and many parts of the world were directly under the Pope. The Pope was the
only Kingmaker in many parts of their empire. It was then customary for the Pope to anoint and
bless the person enthroned, otherwise he had no authority. So when King James became the King
of England, he refused to acknowledge the authority of the Pope and he went ahead to establish
the Church of England. The head of the Church, the Archbishop of Canterbury is not under the
Pope in any way. But the blacks are, in this last age, still under the tutelage of their colonial
masters in their churches. In a wider context, the people claim to have gained political
independence but in the real sense they have not gained anything. It is only members of the
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star who are completely free because the fold is original and
without any colonial traces. There are a lot of things you are fond of doing, the implications of
which you do not know. In Brotherhood of the Cross and Star everything is made new and has
no relationship with the old world. For instance, our hymn book, method of prayers, singing and
dancing are completely new and without any link to the old world. It is written that we are
looking for a new heaven and a new earth where righteousness dwells. (2 Peter 3:13).

A NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH:

Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is that New Heaven and Earth wherein dwelleth
righteousness. Here in this kingdom, no one claims to come from any particular community or
country. Therefore it is out of ignorance for any member in the fold to say, "I am African,
American, British or Russian." We do not believe in such divisive tendencies. We believe only in
the philosophy of Brotherhood - oneness and universal love. Pouring of libation and sacrificing
at grave sides or at any place, are signs of bondage. Brotherhood does not encourage the giving
or receiving of bribes, we do not believe in calling human beings father, and other names
because we are all brothers and sisters.

The various signs people make during ordination in the churches are useless and of no effect.
Such things are not found in the sound doctrines of Brotherhood.

AND SO OUR PARAMOUNT DUTY IS TO LISTEN TO THE HOLY SPIRIT AND COMPLY
WITH ALL INSTRUCTIONS ISSUED BY HIM. Anyone who does what the Holy Spirit directs
cannot commit any sin. But if you walk by the dictates of the law you are covered with darkness.

That is why in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, there is no difference between the old, young,
poor, rich, strong and weak. We are all one in the Lord. THERE IS NOTHING THAT IS AS
IMPORTANT IN THIS KINGDOM AS LISTENING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS OF GOD
AND CARRYING THEM OUT. LIVE BY THE INSTRUCTIONS OF GOD AND THAT IS
ALL. It is said that where there is no law, nobody is regarded as a lawbreaker. It is the law that
brings about misunderstanding.

The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. (1 Corinthians 15:56). So when there
is no law, there is no sin at all. In the same vein where there is no sin, there is no death at all.

WHETHER YOU ARE BAPTIZED INTO BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR OR
NOT, YOUR SHARE OF GOODNESS OR TRIBULATION MUST SURELY COME TO
YOU. IN LIKE MANNER, WHETHER YOU REGISTER IN ANY OF THE FELLOWSHIPS
OR NOT, YOUR PROBLEMS ARE SOLVED LIKE ANY OTHER MEMBER.

Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is not a church organization, therefore, the tradition of the
churches that a member who is a debtor to the church should not be favored in any matter is not
applicable in this kingdom. WE ARE LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD AND WHATEVER WE
ARE DIRECTED TO DO IS WHAT WE DO. FOR THIS REASON WE LOVE ALL PEOPLE.
If you observe the activities in this kingdom, you would realize that if people were to be levied
for any project, nothing tangible would have been achieved. For instance, if you announce that
people should contribute three thousand naira for charity, nobody would like to pay even one
naira towards the fund. But under the philosophy of Brotherhood, which is love and oneness,
such amount could be easily realized in a very short time during fund raising.

In such a situation one person would even raise the Father's envelope with about two thousand
naira. This shows that love only rules in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. If there is any fund
raising activity and you send a special invitation to some selected people who you hope would
donate much money, you would be disappointed that none of them would turn up. Even the
people you never invited nor had any hope on would raise the fund. That is why I keep on telling
you that none has understood Brotherhood yet. Many people are still led by the dictates of the
flesh.

We are led by the spirit and whatever you see in this kingdom is done by the Holy Spirit.
Sometimes you attend a meeting where several proposals are made yet nothing is done in the
end. If you are directed by the Spirit to go to a place like Ikot Ikpene to preach, if you fail to go,
then you have disobeyed God and you would have to suffer for it.

If you are directed by the Holy Spirit to set up a building for God's worship and are in a position
to handle the project but out of selfishness, you refuse to heed this instruction, you will have
problems. So Brethren, if you compare this Kingdom to the world, you would realize the
difference. We are not under the law, for the law was made for evil people and not for the
children of God. Read the First Bible Lesson again.

FIRST BIBLE LESSON: GALATIANS 3:25

"But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster."

YOUR REAL NEIGHBOR:

Remember when Our Lord Jesus Christ was in the house teaching his disciples, and someone
came in to inform Him that His mother and brethren were waiting for him outside. He pointed to
His disciples whom He still teaching and said, they were His mother, sisters and brothers. That
all those who did what His heavenly Father directed were His brothers, sisters, and mother.
(Matthew 12:50).

So when that lawyer asked Him what he should do to have eternal life, He let the lawyer read
from the scriptures, and told him to love the Lord, God with all his soul, strength and mind; and
to love his neighbor as Christ loves him. But the lawyer, trying to justify himself, asked Him
who his neighbor is. Our Lord Jesus Christ then told him a parable about a traveler who was
traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho and he fell among robbers who beat him and left him
unconscious. A priest came that way and passed by the side of the road. A Levite also came that
way and acted exactly as the priest. Finally, a Samaritan who traveled along the route came to
the spot and discovered that the man was in a pool of blood. The Samaritan had compassion on
him. He bound up the wounds and finally took him to an inn, where he took care of him. (Luke
10:30-36).

When he was about to leave the following day, he left two pence to the innkeeper to take care of
the traveler. He also promised to pay whatever cost was incurred when he returned. Then Our
Lord Jesus Christ asked the lawyer, among these three people who came across the unfortunate
traveler, who was his real neighbor? The lawyer said it was the merciful Samaritan. So Our Lord
Jesus Christ told him to go and do same to others. (LUKE 10:27-37).

The word of God says that not all the Israelites are the children of Israel. Also that not all the
children of Abraham are his real children. (Romans 9:6-7). Who are the real children of promise?
Who are the real children of Abraham? All those who are controlled by the spirit of God are the
children of promise.

Your real brothers and sisters from the same womb may not necessarily be your relations. In
other words, a person who really loves you is your brother or sister. That person who is ready to
help you anytime you are in trouble is your brother, sister, and mother. Your spiritual brethren
are your real relations and they are the ones who love you. Some people in Brotherhood have
already understood this fact but many others are yet to know this fact. That is why people claim
that Brotherhood of the Cross and Star members love each other so much. A real Brotherhood
member should know that the person who helps in time of trouble is his real brother or sister or
mother.

A person who thinks about your welfare and helps you when in need is your real neighbor. The
world is only concerned with the welfare of their close relations. Like the testimony of Brother
Ime Akpakpan, that in Lagos some members have grouped themselves along tribal lines. For
instance, they now have Oron brethren, Annang group and Ibibio members association among
others. Such an attitude amounts to rebellion and it breeds confusion. BROTHERHOOD OF
THE CROSS AND STAR HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH DIVISIONS AND TRIBAL
GROUPINGS. If you will recall when some gentiles received the Holy Spirit, some of the
apostles agitated that they (the gentiles) should be circumcised before they were fully accepted in
their midst. After much argument Peter rose up and said:

"Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us that the
gentiles shall hear the word of the gospel and believe. And God which knoweth the hearts, bare
them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us. And put no difference
between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put
another yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
But we believe that through the grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they."
(ACTS 15:7-11).

Therefore, as a child of God, any person who is led by the Holy Spirit is your real sister/brother.
So we are living in the Spirit, not in the flesh. So long as you continue to claim that you come
from Nigeria, Britain, America or any other country or continent, it means you are in the flesh. It
is a worldly statement from the flesh that Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is from the Nigeria
or Africa.
When you claim that this is the time of the blacks, you are being led by the flesh. IN THE
SPIRIT, THERE IS NO DISTINCTION ON THE BASIS OF RACE, COLOR OR SEX. The
moment you start causing division by claiming that this person is white, or black it means you
are in the flesh, and you are therefore under judgement.

If you call some people strangers and others indigenes, you have failed for there is no stranger in
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. We are all indigenes and offspring of God. In the world,
kings and wealthy people are given special seats in a meeting while the poor ones and servants
are given low seats. This is not practiced here in Brotherhood because everybody is given equal
treatment.

If you fail to walk in the Spirit of God by being a respecter of persons instead of giving equal
treatments to people you are under judgement. You can see that what God did for the Israelites,
He did equally for the gentiles. (Acts 10:34-35). If you love all people equally, you are not under
the law.

If you love one person and hate the other, then you have broken the law, and you have placed
yourself under the law. If you are sharing something and you give three to one, and two to the
other, and one to the third person, but to the fourth person you give nothing, it means you have
failed and it means you are not in the Spirit.

ANY PERSON WHO IS IN THE SPIRIT DOES NOT DISCRIMINATE. HE LOVES ALL
PEOPLE EQUALLY, AND HE HAS NO DIFFICULTY IN ANYTHING HE DOES. That is
why I always ask you to come here, 34 Ambo street, Calabar to hear from the horses mouth.

EQUALITY BEFORE GOD:

Some people say a woman cannot preach the word of God to them. They claim that women and
children should not be permitted to preach before the congregation. Then the question is: "is
there any distinction between men and women or adults or children in this kingdom?" The
Holy Spirit is the teacher and everything.

Therefore let nobody walk in the flesh to judge others. Do not look, hear, or think in the way the
flesh directs, but always act according to the dictates of the Holy Spirit. If you claim to walk in
the Spirit, it means you must not tell lies, steal or commit any sin.

If you love truth, patience, and you practice righteousness, then you are in the Spirit. Whoever is
in peace with all people loves him and will be truthful to him because he is in Spirit.

Remember that it is written in the law that you should honor your parents and elderly people, but
here we honor all people and love them. A common mistake many people make, even in
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is that the first good things they would want to do is in their
villages. How many establishments were Our Lord Jesus Christ responsible for in His village?
He did not do anything worthy of mention in His hometown.

So He listens to the Spirit; for anyone to walk by the Spirit is not under the law. Sometimes you
plan to attend a fundraising activity, and right from your house the Spirit directs you to donate
one thousand naira which you can afford. But when you get to the function, and you discover
that the highest donor presents only fifty naira, and so for that reason alone, you change your
mind and you donate only one hundred naira. With such an attitude, it means you are still in the
flesh. This is what I have seen a lot of people do, even in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. If
the chairman gives say one hundred Naira, you who had intended to donate two thousand naira
would change your mind and donate one hundred naira too, so as not to annoy the chairman.
This is the way of the world.

So do not emulate any human being, but always listen to the Spirit, whatever He directs you to
do, do that promptly. Right now I declare that there is no power either from a human being or
from the laws made by man. ALL POWERS ARE OWED AND CONTROLLED BY THE
HOLY SPIRIT WHO IS NOW RULING AND REIGNING THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE.
THAT IS WHY WHENEVER WE WANT TO START OUR MEETINGS OR FELLOWSHIPS,
WE SING THAT THE SPIRIT OF THE LIVING GOD SHOULD COME AND LEAD, FOR IT
HAS BEEN WRITTEN THAT HE WOULD LEAD.

THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE LEADER AND PERFECT TEACHER. WHATEVER HE DOES
IS CORRECT AND PERFECT. Those who are under the law have been separated from God.
Read the second lesson below.

SECOND BIBLE LESSON: GALATIANS 5:18

"BUT IF YE BE OF THE SPIRIT, YE ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW."

DO NOT DISOBEY THE SILENT COMMAND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT:

If you really take stock of all your activities daily, then you would accept the fact that it is good
to be led by the Holy Spirit. Can you count the wrong things you do every minute? But for the
sake of the Holy Spirit would you survive? Are you not aware that you are not under the law?
Why should you say that you would not attend prayers any day? Do you own yourself?
Whenever the Spirit asks you to get up for services, you complain that you are feeling weak. If
you stay back, it means you have disobeyed the Spirit and you would have problems.

Sometimes when you are ready to leave for a place the Spirit asks you to stay back for a visitor is
coming to you. Instead of obeying this still small voice, you decide on your own to go, assuring
yourself that for many days you have been planning to attend but failed, and you must go today.
If you go then you have failed.

SO, OUR MAIN CONCERN IS TO LISTEN TO THE HOLY SPIRIT AND CARRY OUT HIS
INSTRUCTIONS. At times when you have a disagreement with somebody, the Spirit directs you
to go and reconcile with him. But because of your human volition, you disobey this voice. You
claim you cannot go to beg someone who had offended you. If you do so, you have failed and
you would have problems.

Sometimes, the Holy Spirit tells you to give someone about twenty naira, but because of your
serious attachment to the flesh, you ponder over the matter and finally decide not to give the
money to such a person because he had not asked you for it. If you fail to give that twenty naira,
you would receive great punishment.

Similarly, you may want to give free-will offering, say, the sum of five naira. But the Holy Spirit
directs you to give ten naira. If you disobey by dropping just five naira in the tithe box, you have
equally failed. If all of us would accept to walk by the Spirit, we would not have had any
problems in life.

All those who walk according to the law have many problems. Brotherhood of the Cross and Star
is the kingdom of the living God. We have nothing to do with evil. We have nothing to do with
human beings, for the Holy Spirit is the doer of everything.

Whether a person hates or loves you, do not mind; but always listen to the Spirit. Whatever the
Spirit directs you, accept it as the truth.

Recall what took place between the woman of Samaria and Our Lord Jesus Christ. The woman
said unto Him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. Our Fathers worshiped in this mountains,
and ye say that Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. Jesus said unto her, woman
believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor at Jerusalem worship
the Father. Ye worship ye know not what; we know what we worship; for salvation is of the
Jews. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship God in Spirit and
in truth, for the Father seeketh such to worship him. (JOHN 4:19-23).

So, that is what is meant by worshiping God in Spirit and in truth. You have to listen to the
directives of the Holy Spirit at all times. The Spirit would always instruct you about the word of
God. Any statement that is directly for you, and which relates to your problem should be upheld
and practiced. Those meant for other people should not bother you. The children of God are not
indebted to the flesh but to the Holy Spirit to do His will. Sometimes you go to a particular place
and the Spirit instructs you to not to preach the word of God to the people there. If you disobey
this instruction, you will not fail to have problems.

LISTEN TO YOUR SPIRIT:

If you help somebody just because he is related to you and you refuse to give help to others who
are not your relations, you have failed. You have been warned by Our Lord Jesus Christ not call
any person a teacher or master for He alone is the teacher (Matthew 23:8). So the Holy Spirit is
the only teacher and Master who is able to do all things. So we are those who live in the Spirit. If
you do things by the dictates of the flesh, it means you have been separated from Christ. It is
stated that:

"For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die, but if ye through the spirit do mortify the deeds of the
body, ye shall live." (Romans 8:12-13). We are not indebted to the flesh but to the Holy Spirit. If
the entire people in your community advise you not to do a particular thing but the Spirit gives
you the command to go ahead, you should continue to accomplish your task, there would be no
trouble with you at all. It was for this reason that Peter and others refused to obey Satan when the
worldly people asked them not to preach in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ. In reaction, Peter
asked him whether it was better to harken to the voice of man rather than the voice of God.
(ACTS 4:18-20).

So beloved brethren, the problem of many members of this fold, and indeed the world in general,
is that of not listening to the Holy Spirit and walking in His directives. Those who want to be
justified through the law would be judged by the law. All those who commit sin are under the
law. All those who walk by the Spirit are not under the law. See the Golden Text.

GOLDEN TEXT: ROMANS 6:14

"For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace."

WE ARE UNDER GRACE:

From the text you have heard we are not under law but we are under grace. Since we are not
under the law but under grace, people would accuse you of not sacrificing a goat or a cow at the
death of father or mother. You may be accused of not performing the acceptable funeral rite
according to the tradition of your people. If you dare comply with their wishes you are gone
completely. DO NOT LISTEN TO SUCH DEVILISH ADVICE. At some other time they may
come to you to say that your wife has given birth to a baby and that you should buy this or that to
initiate him into one cult or the other. If you accept their advice you have failed. ALWAYS
PRAY AND LISTEN TO THE HOLY SPIRIT AND WHAT HE DIRECTS YOU TO DO, DO
SAME FOR SUCH IS BEST FOR YOU.

The flesh has no power over us again for it was nailed to the cross. Since the day of the
crucifixion when Our Lord Jesus Christ pronounced, "it is finished," the work of the flesh was
completely destroyed. So you would be cheating yourself if you walk in the flesh.

The Holy Spirit has come with love, truth, patience, meekness, joy, righteousness, and all
goodness. Can you see any evil in goodness? His works are perfect. He has brought unity,
oneness, wealth, lowliness, progress, and universal love to mankind.

So let all people know that wherever the giver of the word is, the one to practice what is spoken
is also there.

YOU ARE HAVING THESE LITTLE PROBLEMS IN YOUR LIFE BECAUSE YOU HAVE
REFUSED TO ALLOW THE HOLY SPIRIT TO LEAD YOU. Our Lord Jesus Christ said to
Peter: Verily, verily, I say unto thee, when thou wast young thou girdest thyself, and walkest
whither thou wouldest but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another
shall gird thee and another shall carry thee wither thou wouldest not. (JOHN 21:18).

Our Lord Jesus Christ went to the wilderness not because he liked it but because it was the spirit
that led Him there. (MATTHEW 4:1). You also have to be led by the Spirit at all times. Apostle
Paul did not on his own go to Jerusalem but was led by the Spirit. The Spirit told him to go
though both imprisonment and suffering were awaiting him there.

That was why when the prophetess raised his girdle and told him not to go, he was not perturbed
at all. Rather he questioned the congregation: "What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart?
For I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
(ACTS 21:12-13).

You are all aware of the fact that when Our Lord Jesus Christ was with his disciples He never
asked them to go to the gentiles; instead, He directed them to go to the lost sheep of Israel.
Anyway, after His resurrection Peter saw a vision as recorded in the Bible. However it was not
long when three people started looking for Peter. At the same time, the Holy Spirit told Peter to
go down because He the Holy Spirit had sent three men to meet him. These people came from
Cornelius, a soldier and a gentile by birth. Since it was the Spirit that asked Peter to go, he did,
and followed the three men to their master's house.

When the other disciples heard of Peter's visit to Cornelius the gentile, they were offended.
Later, when they inquired from him why he mixed with the gentiles, he told them that it was not
his will to have done that but he was directed by the Holy Spirit. Peter narrated the whole thing
as it happened to him. It was from then on that the gentiles started receiving the gospel of
salvation. Whenever you are directed by the Holy Spirit do not hesitate, for He is before and
behind you.
It is said that one stroke of the cane is sufficient for the wise. Let those who have ears hear. May
God Bless His Holy Words. Amen.

THANK YOU HOLY FATHER.

EVERLASTING GOSPEL BY
LEADER OLUBA OLUMBA OBU
THE SOLE SPIRITUAL HEAD
BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR

WHO ARE THE ELECTS?

FIRST BIBLE LESSON: JAMES 3:17-18
"But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated,
full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of
righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace."

SECOND BIBLE LESSON: JOHN 14:27-28

"Peace I leave you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not
your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and
come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for
my Father is greater than I."

GOLDEN TEXT: MATTHEW 24:21-22

"For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time,
no, nor ever shall be. And except those days be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for
the elect's sake those days shall be shortened."
THE VERITABLE TRUTH:

What I want to impart to you this day is what you already know but have never believed. We
perceive God to be a human being, rock, animal, bird, fish or something nonexistent. But God is
a personality and if He commissions you, he goes before and behind you to accomplish the
assigned task. Nothing is hidden from Him or is impossible with Him. He is all in all. He is in
everything and He therefore cannot be excluded from anything because he exists in everything.

The gospel of today says that but for His elect's, the anguish and tribulation of that day are such
that had not been known or seen by any human being, and are such that will never be
experienced again by humanity. Such tribulation would have beleaguered humanity and not even
a fly would have survived in the world. But for the sake of the elects, the days are shortened.

GOD'S LOVE IS SUPREME AND UNCONDITIONAL:

There was a global war about fifty years ago which the world powers such as USA, UK, France,
and Germany and Russia had prepared to engage in, and they were armed with a warhead called
COG and Maggot. This weapon is so destructive that if a shot is fired into Africa, nothing would
survive. But the word of God prevailed and rendered these costly weapons and efforts of these
countries useless. Without which all God's work would have been destroyed and the world
would not be in existence today.

I will not fail to sing and rejoice because I have seen the extent of God's love for humanity. Even
man does not understand this love and in spite of man's unbelief, God continues to do His will in
the world. You are true witnesses from the time of Adam how people treated the issues of God
with levity and insolence. Everybody seemed to despise God; none wanted to hear God's name.
People rather preferred to glorify inanimate things but God has remained unperturbed.

MAN'S ATTITUDE IS OFFENSIVE:

When it was prophesied that Our Lord Jesus Christ will come to the world, people prepared for
Him and when He actually came, they plotted and killed him. After that it was prophesied that he
shall come a second time. This explains why people all over the world are preparing themselves
to see when He will crashland. Consequently, they have been manufacturing assorted types of
weapons, indulging themselves in the preparation of various concoctions and diabologies that
will assist them to get Him exterminated the second time. None is thoughtful of anything that
will give glory to God, nor offer help to humanity. All they think of is how to kill and how to
destroy.

Remember the Book of Revelation written by Brother Solomon Ette. He says that coming back
this time He is cloaked in seventy- two skins, because he is coming for war, and therefore, he
must develop a thick skin to be able to face those who stand against him.

Because of man's intransigent nature and offensive attitude to God, the angels ask, "Who is man
that he should be visited by God or who is man that God should bestow glory unto him?" In spite
of this bestowal, man is still what he is. He does not recognize the existence of God but himself
alone. However, God knows that man is nothing but dust, clay rubbish and useless.

THE MASTER PLANNER:

Upon man's plans and exploits to get the world afflicted with tribulation and general destruction,
God has continued to prove that His wisdom is greater than that of man; just as the heaven is
higher than the earth (Isa 55:9). So, God had already planned all things ahead. As man is busy
manufacturing weapons of war, He had already planned this world for Himself. For instance, you
are aware of all the weapons and ammunitions of war amassed by Iraq, and all the attempts made
by the United Nations to get these weapons destroyed. Iraq resisted, but God intervened, and
today, they have succumbed. Likewise others who had wanted to hold onto such weapons of
war, have all surrendered themselves because God is the only ruler of the universe.

People erroneously thought that God will not come down to save the evil situation on earth. Had
He not come down, who would have been able to contain the situation? With the manufacture of
weapons of mass-destruction, every person in the world was preparing to die. This is why people
were doing things the way they did because they knew for certain that they were going to die
with these weapons. But then, God, the master-planner, had already planned things to His glory.
He had made everything ready for the salvation of mankind on earth. But for His wisdom,
intelligence, might, power and excellency, who would have been able to salvage the world from
the position of ruin it was heading to? Let our First Lesson be read again.

FIRST BIBLE LESSON: JAMES 3:17-18

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be
entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. And the fruits
of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace."

EVERYTHING IS NOW RECTIFIED:

How many years is it now since God started tolerating and sympathizing with man in spite of his
evil ways? God has been tolerating us but in your own case, if someone passes without greeting
you, you will give an order that he should be beaten up or killed, not minding the fact that you
have sinned against God in several ways. You are arrogant and pompous but God continues to
love you. It is said that the wisdom that comes from above is pure, easily entreated, it has no
hypocrisy and has no partiality and that is what God has used in building up this world that it
should be what He had planned it for.

Today, as the waters cover the seas, so the virtues of God have inundated the whole world. He
has poured abundantly His love truth, kindness, temperance, goodness, gentleness, upon
mankind that this world should be what He has planned. Note that the Lucifer who vowed that
God will not have followers was created by God.

Now where is Lucifer who vowed that God will not have any person to Himself? He was
indoctrinating man to sin against God but God stamped His feet on the ground that He would
save mankind in the world. That is why He poured love, meekness, kindness, truth, faith,
progress, joy, righteousness and eternal life on mankind, hence the establishment of the kingdom
of God on earth. And he has made the kingdoms of this world to become the kingdom of
Jehovah God and His Christ, and He will rule forever and ever. In this kingdom, there is nothing
that defiles which can go into it. No atom of sin can go inside it except righteousness because in
Him, everything holy is found.

Right now the Father has arranged everything in the world. He has rectified everything that is
wrong in the world. Whatever was manufactured in the world which does not give glory to God,
He has come to manufacture better things for you and these things will last forever. The
electricity which the Holy Spirit will generate will never cease, light will shine indefinitely. The
type of motor cars the Holy Spirit will invent will not be involved in accidents. The type of
aeroplanes that the Holy Spirit will invent will be crash-free and everything that the Holy Spirit
will manufacture will be perfect and durable.

Man is so insolent to believe or speculate that the whites who can manufacture all these things
are equal with God. That is an abomination in the sight of God. What can any man do? It is God
who does everything. He has poured love abundantly, wealth, truth, everlasting life and there is
nothing else which can be used to rebuild this world apart from love. Love is what is used in
correcting everything that is wrong. It is love that is used in transforming a sick person to good
health. It is love that is used in making anything to be perfect and it is this love that would be
used to restore goodness to anything that is touched by mankind. No evil can exist where only
love prevails.

Brethren, it is because of the love God bestows on man, that He has done all the things He is
doing now. Because of that love he has been able to bring mankind to himself and this love has
permeated all facets of human existence. The Second Lesson will now be re-examined.

SECOND BIBLE LESSON: JOHN 14:27-28

"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I
unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Ye have heard how I said unto
you, I go away, and come again unto you. If you loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go
unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I."

WHERE IS SATAN?

After hearing this, what do you think is the position of Satan in the world? It is a shame to him
because he is incapable of doing anything again. God has assumed His rulership over His
creations in the world. Our Lord Jesus Christ had left peace unto mankind. The old things and
their evil ways are no more, hence you see the world flourishing. This explains why the kingdom
of God consists of love and peace and nothing else.

GOD DOES EVERYTHING MYSTERIOUSLY:

If human beings who are created by God can manufacture something which can fly, what do you
think God Himself can do? God moves in very mysterious ways. For instance, people in South
Africa cannot tell you today how they were liberated from the apartheid policy of the minority
whites. Before Nelson Mandela was released from prison I had already delivered a gospel here
that will serve as a witness such that when he would be released, he would know that his release
is an act of God, not an act of man, but till today, he and the entire South African people do not
know that his release came from God. God knows how to do His things and He does them
mysteriously.

Who in this world would have believed that South Africa would be liberated and who
would have believed that a black man would rule as a president in South Africa? When this
pronouncement was made, I released all my weapons of war. What are my weapons of war?
Many people will confront you and say when Our Lord Jesus Christ came into this world, He
was going from city to city, and from town to town preaching and healing. That was the doing of
a young man, and a smaller fellow, BUT NOW THE FATHER HAS COME BY HIMSELF,
THERE IS NO NEED GOING ABOUT ANY MORE. He can sit at one corner and order
any part of the world as it has been made manifest.

THE BLACK RULER:

Brethren, if you told a white man that a black man would rule this world, a lot of them would be
ready to commit suicide and kill themselves rather than have a black person rule over them. But
what has happened in the world today? Have they not been suppressed and are they not looking
at the happenings in the world with rapt attention and are they not confounded? It is God who
rules and all the things He has prepared for Himself must take effect as He had planned them.
Even all of you gathered here, do you know the person fighting the war for you? All the
inventions, all the things you see, do you know how they came about?

Brethren, this is not a carnal warfare where you go to abuse people saying, woe to your mother
or your father, woe to this and that, I first came, it is our church denomination which came first
to this place. It is not that kind of childish thing. This is a spiritual war and it is fought in the
spirit.

Remember the parable given by Our Lord Jesus, how some corns were planted in a field and in
the night, enemies went and planted weeds in that same field among the grains of corn. His
disciples, perceiving this to be the work of enemies, asked him if they should go and remove the
weeds from the corns? He said, no. By uprooting the weeds, you may mistakenly remove the
corn. Allow both to grow together, until the harvest comes, and the reapers will go to the field
and remove the weeds first and get them incinerated; then, the corns will then be removed and
stored in the barn. So this is a spiritual warfare being fought in the world. Allow all these things
going on to go on. Do not quarrel or fight with any person. When the time of harvest comes, it is
God who will do the harvesting.

GOD IS IN ABSOLUTE CONTROL:

The Bible says you will hear of wars and rumors of war (Matt 24:6). Do not contemplate on war
or be afraid that war will erupt at any time. Who causes war? If there is going to be any war, the
Father is the one to fight the war. Believe me that there will be no more hospitals, medical
centers, maternity homes, there will be no courts and magistrates, no political parties, no markets
or anything else for that matter. God will handle all situations properly. God had already
arranged everything for the people of this world, and when He does all these things, tell me how
you will not believe in Him? And in this new kingdom of God, there will be no security agents,
no police, soldiers, navy, customs or other uniformed organizations. There will be nothing like
that because God is in absolute control of everything in the world and all children of God will be
moving freely in the world.

I HAVE COME PERSONALLY NOT SENDING ANY PERSON AND I WILL REVEAL
MYSELF UNTO MANKIND. I HAVE NOT COME TO THE WORLD TO DIE AGAIN
AS PEOPLE THINK, THEREFORE MY PEOPLE SHOULD SING AND REJOICE
BECAUSE I, THE LORD, I AM ON THE THRONE OF GLORY. The Golden Text should
now be read.

GOLDEN TEXT: MATTHEW 24:21-22

"For then shall be great tribulation such as was not since the beginning of the world to
this time, no, nor shall ever be. And except those days be shortened, there shall no flesh be
saved: but for the elect's sake, those days shall be shortened."

I want to strengthen your faith in God, for today is not yesterday. This is no more the kingdom of
the world but the kingdom of Jehovah God and His Christ. The Father is reigning supreme in
heaven, and on earth, water, ocean, abyss, family, offices, businesses, and all facets of the human
society.

BROTHERHOOD IS EVERYTHING:

The scripture has clearly stated that but for the elects, those days were shortened, none would
have been saved. And I now want to tell you not to doubt anything you see. When people of the
world continue to doubt, saying, what is wrong with these Brotherhood people, why is it that
they are everywhere? Do not mind them because they cannot understand this kingdom. In
Brotherhood, it is: "The more you look the less you see." If you add five Os together, the result
will be the same and if you subtract five O's from themselves, the result will be similar.
Brotherhood has no beginning or end. It is everything and is in everything.

FEAR BROTHERHOOD:

People allege that Brotherhood is vampirism, occultism, cult, witchcraft, mermaid, apparition,
phantom, fetish and all other forms of evil. After enumerating all these things, the question is
which one is really Brotherhood? Others allege that Brotherhood is the god of the forest, water,
or the god of the atmosphere. They may be right because if you go to the sea, ocean, forest, sky,
your family, and everywhere, Brotherhood is there. And I ask you, where does Brotherhood have
its Headquarters? If you know its headquarters, tell me because I do not know. I tell you that
there is nothing evil in the world. It is only that somebody would seek to test you only to know if
you are powerful enough. He simply wants to test your ability. Unfortunately at this juncture, the
Father has come in a way nobody can comprehend. That is why I am personally afraid of
Brotherhood. The power in it is so great, incomprehensible, and confounding. I am very much
afraid of it.

Brotherhood cannot be recognized in the flesh. If you look at it from the carnal perspective, you
will never understand it. You can only know and understand it spiritually. The children of God
have already composed a song which says, if you look at Brotherhood in the flesh, you will
never understand it but through the spirit you will know and understand it.

THE MYSTERIOUS NAME:

In the past people chanted O.O.O. without understanding it but now if you chant it carelessly, it
may consume you. People find it very difficult to understand this three letter initials. In the
United States of America, they knew not the meaning. In the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia,
nobody knows the mystery behind it. Much money have been offered in these places to any
person who would explain the meaning but none could come up with an answer. They do not
know that that is the operating name in the whole world and it is what we in BCS are bearing
witness to. It is what works in this Kingdom of God.*** WHO IS THIS THREE O's EXCEPT
THE HOLY SPIRIT AND WHO IS THIS HOLY SPIRIT? HE IS THE CHRIST. WHO IS
THE CHRIST? HE IS THE FATHER.

And so brethren in this world, it is the Holy Spirit who rules over everything. No person can
claim any glory, for, all glory is given to Him. Do not say you started it first and therefore you
should be the first to be recognized. There is no difference between the young and the elderly
because He is all and in all. He is in operation at all times. What gladdens my heart most is the
fact that love is the only weapon of operation here. In this kingdom, there is neither rich nor
poor, night nor day, wizard nor dunce. There is no distinction between anything, it is love alone
which does everything.

Do not attempt to look at Brotherhood beyond what you know it now, because the more you
look, the less you understand it. Brotherhood does not come from man or angel but from God.
It does not come from the wind, moon or the stars. It does not come from America, Europe, Asia,
Africa but anywhere you go to Brotherhood exists.

It does not serve you any useful purpose to initiate yourself into secret society or cult, (Amorc,
Ogboni, Freemason) or any other one. Do not attach yourself to any Church denomination or
give glory to any of these things you attach yourself to. ONLY ATTACH YOURSELF TO
HIM BECAUSE HE RULES AND WILL RULE FOREVER. Do not be afraid of armed
robbers, witches, or any other thing for that matter. YOU ONLYHAVE TO BE AFRAID OF
THE THREE O's.

THE MAIN ISSUE:

The text I want you to go back with is what has been read to you. It is said, "Because of the sake
of my elects, I will cut down the number of days so that they will not suffer tribulation and
anguish." I ask, who are these elects? Do not bother to look or search for Brotherhood anywhere,
either on earth or in the sea, Brotherhood is everywhere, it exists everywhere and you have to
embrace it, for it is the kingdom of God.
Do not think of where you are going to inhabit because He is ever caring for you. If you go to
England, you will be shown a flat to live in. But you know we have flats in Russia, Germany,
United States of America, everywhere and what is important is not these flats but the Spirit
which is dwelling in you. That Spirit is what you have to maintain. It is that active spirit in you
that matters not the flat you live in.

THAT NAME:

The Bible tells us that the belly was made for food and food for the belly but God shall destroy
both of them (1 Cor 6:13) because He did not create the flesh for fornication. But He created it
for Himself to be used by Him in a holy way. And He urges that you should be pure and holy as
He is because evil cannot dwell with Him.
Brethren I do not intend to take you further on this because in your imagination, you think it is
raising the dead and making the blind to see that is more important, but there is something which
is more important than that. IF YOU LIKE THAT NAME YOU CAN CALL UPON IT, IF YOU
DO NOT LIKE, YOU LEAVE IT BUT ONE THING IS CERTAIN, THOSE WHO SHOULD
BE SAVED ARE ALREADY SAVED IN THE WHOLE WORLD. He says, because of my
elects, the days will be shortened.
Whether His elects are five, ten, hundred, or a thousand in number, know that it is
because of His elects that the whole has been salvaged. God has never spoken and failed to bring
his words to fulfillment. He says, because of my elects, I will shorten the days and I affirm that it
is because of the elects of God that the whole world has been saved. Wherever they may be, they
are all saved. In the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen
So Brethren, it is not my intention to be tedious unto you. It is said a stroke of the cane is
sufficient unto the wise. Those who have ears to hear, let them hear. May God Bless His Holy
Words. Amen.
THANK YOU FATHER.

FIRST BIBLE LESSON: 1 CORINTHIANS 15:49
"And as we have borne the image of the earthly, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly."

SECOND BIBLE LESSON: REVELATION 21:1-2

"And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed
away; and there was no more. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from
God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband."

GOLDEN TEXT: 2 CORINTHIANS 5:16-17

"Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after
the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a
new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."

NO ONE IS KNOWN IN THE FLESH:

Beloved, the above texts are precise enough for you to understand and they form our sermon.

I have always advised you to search the scripture and ascertain every fact in it. The
establishment of the kingdom of God on earth is the manifestation of the vision by some
Catholic nuns in Rome many years ago where they saw the Holy Spirit descending to Africa.
There are arguments all over the world about the advent of the Holy Spirit, that He shall come in
human form. Many do not believe that the Holy Spirit has already come. Those who try to
believe that He has come are uncertain, and in fact, confused as to where He could be located. A
certain school of thought in London is of the opinion that He could be found in South or East
Africa. Even some Brotherhood members are still doubting the existence of the Holy Spirit.

According to our Golden Text, this is not the time where people are known in the flesh. However
certain people contest the fact that one cannot see the Holy Spirit. If the Holy Spirit cannot be
seen what other phenomenon is there that can be seen by man? THE HOLY SPIRIT IS CHRIST,
BUT THE FACT IS THAT YOU CANNOT SEE HIM IN THE FLESH.

People argue that Our Lord Jesus Christ was a mobile preacher compared to the Father. EVEN
IF YOU KEEP THE PORTRAIT OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IN YOUR HOUSE, AND
YOU KEEP WATCHING OR OBSERVING IT ALL THE TIME, IT WILL NEVER AVAIL
YOU ANY GOOD. THIS IS THE ERA OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. He has come as a quickening
spirit and no one is known in the flesh again, but in spirit.

When the people of old heard that Elijah was coming again, they kept his portrait in their homes
so that they could identify him when he arrived. Did Elijah not come ultimately? And did they
know him?

The Holy Spirit has come, taking complete control of the affairs of men on earth and those in
heaven. He is the one responsible of all the events in the world today. The fact is that He is not to
be known in the flesh, but in the spirit. Whether a man is black, white or red, no man is known in
the flesh any longer, but even as Our Lord Jesus Christ was seen, so is the Holy Spirit.

Our Lord Jesus Christ said, "Yet a little while and the world sees me no more, but ye see me:
because I live, ye shall live also." (John 14:19). One cannot know God, Christ or the children of
God in the flesh. He has come like a thief in the night and has taken the world unaware.

God sent Prophets like Elijah, Samuel, John, and even Christ to the world but they were
persecuted and killed. He has come by Himself daring all men. All the magicians, scientist,
technocrats and philosophers are dumbfounded and blindfolded. The Holy Spirit has come, and
men are saying that never at any time has the Spirit been seen. If a man cannot see the Spirit,
what is it that he can see?

The Spirit has existed from the inception of the world. (Gen 1:2). What is happening now is the
advent of the Holy Spirit, to rule and to reign. Christ made it categorically clear that except a
grain of corn falls to the ground and withers, it remains on its own, and it cannot germinate. But
if it die, it germinates and brings forth good fruits. (John 12:24). This explains why Christ is seen
lavishly. He is close to you. In fact, closer to you than the tongue is to the teeth. He has come to
put an end to discrimination of any form. There is no man, no woman, no young, no old, no
black, no white, etc. (Gal 3:28). And He is the one who is responsible for all the events in the
world and in our individual lives.

The flesh is full of deceit, frailties and negativity. If the flesh tells you Peace, know that you are
on fire. But the Holy Spirit is not like that. WHEN HE TELLS YOU PEACE KNOW THAT IT
IS PEACE. HE HAS ONLY COME IN HUMAN FORM. OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST CAME
IN HUMAN FORM and moved from place to place and by that He was exposed to certain
stumbling accidents, but now, HE HAS COME, NOT TO MOVE PHYSICALLY FROM
PLACE TO PLACE BUT TO WROUGHT WONDERS FROM A CORNER OF THE WORLD.

BLASPHEMERS BE WARNED:

All those who continue to blaspheme against the Holy Spirit should pray fervently for
themselves. The scripture states that anybody who blasphemes against the son of man shall be
forgiven but any one who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit shall never be forgiven in this
generation nor another to come. (Mark 3:29). ALL THOSE WHO CALL BROTHERHOOD
NAMES AND FOLLOW IT WITH DEROGATORY REMARKS ARE DOOMED.

Our Lord Jesus Christ never bore testimony about any man, prophet, pastor or person. HE BORE
ELOQUENT TESTIMONY ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO IS NOW IN OUR MIDST.
BUT DO YOU KNOW HIM? This explains why I always enjoin you to preach Him always.
What you are now seeing has never been seen. He is everywhere. He abides with you and His
presence is felt everywhere.

However, men have nicknamed Him Beelzebub, vampire, and such other names. Man has not
really received the Holy Spirit; neither has he received Him properly since 1918, yet He has
brought great joy. He said that this generation shall not pass away until all things have been
fulfilled. (Matt 24:34). And now it is only two years until the year 2000 when the reign of the
Holy Spirit shall take shape. He has come to turn things around.

The advent of the Holy Spirit has emboldened His children and has given them unparalleled
wisdom, so much that even little children in this kingdom will stun you. The children are so
daring in their approaches to issues and they ask probing questions. At the University of
Edinburgh, the Vice Chancellor confirmed the high intelligence quotient of his students, that
professors could not provide answers to some of the questions asked by the students. God has
come down to abide with His children. Your problem is in your inclination to the flesh whereas
the works of the flesh have since passed and gone.

Our Lord Jesus Christ sojourned on earth for thirty-three years only. During this period, He was
chased and killed by the rulers of this world. Now given this experience, do you still imagine
Him to come again in the flesh? GOD IS NOT AS FOOLISH AS MAN, HE HAS COME IN
HIS POWER AND GREATNESS, HENCE HE SAID, "THINK NOT THAT I AM COME TO
DESTROY THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS: I AM NOT COME TO DESTROY, BUT TO
FULFILL." (MATTHEW 5:17)

SHUN CARNALITY:

I know that a good number of the members of this fold are still tied to the apron strings of the
traditions and cultures of their great-grand parents. You are consumed with the perilous
impression that man can never exist without a bit of sin. Have you not noted the nomination used
for the first lesson? If that nomination had not been fulfilled it would have appeared as if it were
not God who made that statement.

This is not the time for man to be carnally-minded. The Holy Spirit is lavishly present
everywhere. He can dine with you now but in a split second He disappears. You can see a
multitude of people clad in white robes, singing, and dancing but by the time you clear your eyes
to ascertain your view, the group disappears. All those who continue to dissipate their energy,
spend their time and resources researching into Brotherhood of the Cross and Star are wasting
their time and they are doing so at their own peril. ALL THOSE WHO BLASPHEME
AGAINST THE HOLY SPIRIT SHOULD PRAY FERVENTLY FOR THEMSELVES.

In Matthew 13:31-32, The Holy Spirit is compared to the mustard seed which is the finest of all
seeds. But when it germinates, it grows into the largest tree and spreads out its branches to
provide shelter and abode for the birds and animals. In his book The Truth Has Come, Bishop
Eyo asked readers, "if Christ were to descend from the sky like a dove, whether His body would
be allowed to settle on anybody's parcel of land." The Holy Spirit no doubt descended from
above but the question is, did you know when He came? He promised to come like a thief in the
night. (1 Thes 5:2/2 Pet 3:10/Rev 3:3,16:15), Is there anyone in the world who is aware of the
presence of God on earth? If in His first advent as man, men persecuted Him, would He want to
reappear in the previous form? Therefore as the heaven is higher than the earth so also is God's
wisdom greater than man's. (Isa 55:9). No man is now capable of doing anything or has the
knowledge or senses to think except as ordained by Him. He has come as the reservoir of
knowledge, power and an innumerable multitude. As we have borne the image of the earthly
man, now is the time to bear the image of the heavenly man. He has fought and conquered the
world and He has glorified Himself.

THE YEAR OF THE LORD:

This gospel is a reminder of the word spoken by Our Lord Jesus Christ. THE HOLY SPIRIT
MANIFESTED HIMSELF ON EARTH SINCE 1918. He now reigns in heaven and on earth.
Sad enough, man is gazing into the sky, expecting Christ to come there from. When He was on
earth, did men listen to Him? To herald the coming of the Holy Spirit, there was an epidemic of
influenza in the world. That disease was used to eliminate all the evil and sinful men. This
therefore is a lucky race.

THE SPIRITUAL FOOD:

I will in this gospel disclose the cause of your downfall and the reason you have not seen the
Holy Spirit. I will reveal the reason a lot of people are unaware of the goings on in the world.
The problem of men- sicknesses, hunger, hatred, and death are traceable to disobedience. God
created the heavens, the earth and the fullness thereof, and finally created man. He then gave
man the superintendency over all the creations and gave him every plant yielding seed which is
upon the face of all the earth and every tree with seed and its fruits for food. (Gen 1:29). THESE
CONSTITUTE THE SPIRITUAL FOOD. YOUR PROBLEM NOW IS THE FLESH THAT
YOU ARE EATING WHICH KILLS THE SPIRIT. THE MOMENT YOU ARE ANGRY, YOU
TELL LIES, YOU STEAL, YOU HATE OR YOU DO ANYTHING UNSEEMLY, THE
SPIRIT IN YOU IS BEING KILLED. THE SPIRIT DOES NOT SURVIVE ON FOOD BUT
ON JOY, PEACE, HUMILITY, MERCY, AND ALL THE VIRTUES OF GOD.

THE DEATH OF MANY PEOPLE, EVEN HERE IN BROTHERHOOD, IS TRACEABLE TO

FOOD, GLUTTONY. It is written in Romans 8:12-13

"Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if ye live after
the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live."

The above explains the spiritual warfare that is waged against the dictates of the flesh. If any
man lives according to the dictates of the spirit he shall hunger and thirst no more and he shall
have no problem. EVEN WHEN YOU FEEL SOME PAINS OR DISCOMFORT WITHIN
YOU, ONCE YOU ARE SPIRITUALLY MINDED, DO NOT BOTHER, FOR, THE HOLY
SPIRIT IS WORKING IN YOU, IN FACT, REMOLDING YOU.

One who steals, commits fornication, causes division, hates, quarrels etc. is dead spiritually. That
is what Our Lord Jesus Christ has taught us. He needs peace, love, humility, oneness and all the
virtues. Once you do anything contrary to the injunctions of the Holy Spirit, you have killed the
spirit in you and you have incapacitated the flesh, thereby rendering it useless. Read the first
lesson again.

FIRST BIBLE LESSON: 1 CORINTHIANS 15:49

"And as we have borne the image of the earthly, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly."

THE PERSONIFIED HOLY SPIRIT:

Beloved, the above text enjoins you to refrain from evil so that the spirit in you may be revived.
This is the reign of the Holy Spirit. If you distance yourself from evil, the Holy Spirit which is
eternal life, peace, and prosperity will be your guide and abide with you always. We are all
living witnesses to the Holy Spirit that is abiding with men in human form. He has come in His
glory, doing what no man or angel has ever done. HE IS SO GREAT AND SPLENDID. He has
bamboozled all the soothsayers, voodoo priests, magicians, occultist, etc. and they now attest to
His power.

Nevertheless, many men have continued to investigate the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, to
know the source of this power, yet, they find nothing. HE IS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN
FIGHT AND CONQUER. He has been disturbing and fighting members of secret societies, and
disorganizing them. They too have been probing to know the source of this power, yet they
cannot find it. The more they try to probe into the activities of Brotherhood, the more the Holy
Father makes lavish appearances to them at their various meeting venues and houses. Brother
Bassey Bassey earlier confirmed this fact, when he testified that on several occasions the Holy
Father has caused their meeting to disperse abruptly. The same story was corroborated by
Professor Assasu Inyang Ibom. I am not claiming to be the Holy Spirit, BUT HE HAS COME
AT THE APPOINTED TIME.

GOD CREATED MAN IN HIS OWN IMAGE. THIS EXPLAINS WHY EACH TIME HE
COMES HE TAKES ON HUMAN FORM. IN THIS DISPENSATION HE HAS COME BY
HIMSELF, SENDING NO ONE. HE HAS COME TO ABIDE ON EARTH FOREVER. HE
HAS COME TO PUT THINGS IN THEIR PROPER SHAPES AND POSITIONS. WATCH
AND SEE WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE WORLD.

God is just and upright. He never disappoints. He has come as the Holy Spirit and he has
permeated all facets of the earth. It is God who created the heavens, the earth and the fullness
thereof. He can change man into a tree or stone and vice-versa. His power is unlimited. IF HIS
POWER IS UNLIMITED, IS IT TAKING HIS ADVENT IN HUMAN FORM THAT SHOULD
BE PROBLEMATIC TO HIM?

In this kingdom there is neither man nor woman, bond nor free, no discrimination of any sort.
This explains why He enjoined you to desist from imputing sins on one another, cursing and
creating class distinction. What the Holy Spirit desires is love, peace, humility, meekness, truth
and all the virtues. These constitute what the Holy Spirit wants and these are what can take you
out of problems.

In the past God manifested Himself into various forms, such as stone, tree, horse, corn, birds,
other animals etc. But each time He manifested Himself, the world got hold of Him and ate Him
as food or just eliminated Him. Human beings have always been watching and waiting for His
Advent. THIS TIME AROUND HE HAS COME WELL PREPARED. As the world was waiting
to devour Him, He was getting ready to take the world by surprise. HE HAS COME TO
ASSERT TO MANKIND HIS SUPREMACY. If it were possible for mankind, and in fact the
churches, to have a more powerful being who is capable of eliminating the Holy Father, they
would have employed such a person.

Men are mourning and gnashing their teeth. They are now at cross roads. Now is the time for all
men to refrain from all vices, otherwise, they should pray fervently for themselves. What is
needed is complete abstention from sin and total submission unto God. Anyone who surrenders
himself to God does not need to eat or drink conventional food and water. It is the Holy Spirit
that will feed and sustain the one.

As God is, so also are those who believe in Him and obey His commandments. This is not the
time to preach and glorify any man but God. Do not cheat, maltreat, or offend your fellow man,
no matter how small the person may be. Most people, both children and adults, bear the image of
the Holy Spirit. The child that you are fond of beating can be the Holy Spirit. Therefore if you
beat or curse a little child, you are incurring the wrath of God. The two young men who visited
Sodom and Gomorrah were spirit beings but the people did not know this. It took them no time
to destroy the two cities.

The whole world is alleging that Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is cannibalistic and it is thus
killing people. The world has not experienced anything yet. EXCEPT THE WORLD ACCEPTS
AND MAKES PEACE WITH BROTHERHOOD, THE WORLD WILL NOT HAVE PEACE.
FOR THE WORLD TO BE FREE FROM BONDAGE, MEN HAVE TO ACCEPT GOD AND
OBEY HIM.

GOD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERYTHING:

The truth is elusive to the world. Our Lord Jesus Christ resurrected on the third day. When Mary
arrived at the grave side on the third day, she realized that the Lord had resurrected. She found
only the guards. She even saw the Lord amongst the guards but she could not identify him. She
even asked the Lord whether He had seen the Lord. Her intention was to take the corpse home.
The Lord right there called Mary in his own peculiar way before she could recognize Him. When
she ran to embrace him, He forbade her from touching him. He mandated her to go and inform
his brethren, for he had not yet ascended to His Father, and their Father. Before Mary could
reach the people, the Lord had already arrived there.

The disciples too did not recognize their master. They ignorantly persuaded him to tarry with
them and he did until that night when they broke a feast did the Lord clearly reveal Himself to
them. The people marvelled and they ran to their kindred to inform them of the wonderful
appearance of the Lord. Again, before they arrived there, they found Him already there with the
people. By these activities, it means that God is responsible for everything. Except I disclose this
truth to you, till doomsday, no person would know. FOR THIS REASON I CAME. HE IS
LIVING WITH YOU, BUT YOU CANNOT RECOGNIZE HIM.

When the Lord resurrected and appeared to His disciples, Thomas was not there. The other
disciples told Thomas when he joined them that the Lord called in their midst, he disbelieved
saying that until he thrust his finger into the Lord's sides and palms, he would not believe.
Thomas did not even know the Lord was there with them. After eight days when the disciples
gathered again, the Lord invited Thomas to come and feel his wounds. Then alone did Thomas
believe and in His response the Lord told Thomas, "Blessed is he does not see but believes."
(John 20:27-29).

GOD CAN MANIFEST IN ANY FORM. HE IS SPIRIT AND HE IS ALSO MAN. EVERY
POWER IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH IS GIVEN TO HIM. There is a reference to this at
Matthew 28:18: "And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in
heaven and on earth."

He can make and unmake. WE CANNOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS IF WE WORK

ACCORDING TO HIS INJUNCTIONS. THOSE WHO OBEY HIM NEED NOT EVEN PRAY
FOR ANYTHING. PREACH AND SING HIS PRAISES AND GLORY AND EXTOL HIS
VIRTUE.

MAN IS SO CORRUPT THAT GOD CANNOT ENTRUST HIM WITH THE RULERSHIP OF
THIS WORLD. HE HAS COME TO CONDEMN THE WORK OF THE FLESH, MAKING
WAY FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT TO RULE AND REIGN. EXCEPT THE HOLY SPIRIT
TEACHES MAN HE CAN DO NOTHING. HE IS THE GREATEST SCIENTIST,
PHILOSOPHER, PHYSICIAN, ADMINISTRATOR AND PROPHET. THOSE WHO
CONSULT ORACLES AND MAGICIANS ARE WASTING THEIR TIME. Read the second
lesson again.

SECOND BIBLE LESSON: REVELATION 21:1-2

"And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed
away and there was no more sea. And I John saw the Holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down
from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband."

THE NEW JERUSALEM:

All along, men have been reading the above passage without understanding the meaning. I am a
living witness to the word of God. BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR IS THE
NEW JERUSALEM WHERE THERE IS NO PAINS, NO TEARS, NO PROBLEM. The
creation of division results in death. Do not seek to live the way Abraham, Moses, and the rest of
the prophets did. Do not even seek to live like the whites. NO WORLDLY KNOWLEDGE OR
TRADITION IS PERMITTED IN THIS KINGDOM. THE ONLY TRADITION THAT IS
PERMITTED IN THIS KINGDOM IS LOVE.

When there was no electricity, bush lanterns and locally made lights were used. Now electricity
has taken over other forms of light or energy. The same applies to the Holy Spirit. HE HAS
COME TO BRING TO NOUGHT EVERY KNOWLEDGE. THERE IS NOTHING THE HOLY
SPIRIT IS NOT CAPABLE OF DOING. He can cause a mansion to spring up in the swamp or a
stream to spring up in the desert. The Holy spirit is the Father, the mother, child, friend, wife,
husband, food, clothes, and everything to every man. HE IS ALSO GOD, SON OF GOD AND
MAN.
When Brotherhood was established in Zaria and Sapele, the Bethels were accommodated in
thatch houses. During the religious riots in the North, the Zaria bethel was razed. The
government compensation that was paid to Brotherhood consequent upon the incident was used
to erect a Cathedral. The same thing happened in Sapele. If by destruction of thatched Bethels,
Cathedrals have come about, what was the evil about that act, and what did we lose? He cares for
us. ALL THAT WE HAVE TO DO IS TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER. All things have been made
anew. No Hades, no problems. Those who were in the other planets have assembled here on
earth to listen to the word of God. This is a secret I am revealing to you.

When Professor Assasu Inyang Ibom was searching for the Father, he visited mountain tops,
forests, sun, moon, and stars. In all the planets he went to, he was surprised to find the children
of God arrayed in white. This is what surprises the world and confuses them too. The world sees
Brotherhood as one of the highest and dreaded secret societies. All those who claim to be
masters and sages fear Brotherhood members. The problems of the people of the world stem
from their refusal to denounce their old ways of life and fetish things which they are holding
unto. But because of God's love, He will change His children unto Himself.

The medical doctors, indeed, your friends persuade you to go to the hospital for treatment, or
report cases of discomfort promptly to physicians for treatments. They speak favorably about the
application of medication, and they assert that negligence is the cause of the high mortality rate.
My request is, those who die in the hospital and on the laps of physicians, what has killed them?
Even the doctors themselves should not die if medicine can give life. The Lord has said that
anyone who seeks his life will lose it, but he who surrenders his life for the Lord's sake and for
the sake of the gospel shall have it. (Mark 8:35). THOSE WHO DRINK NO MEDICINE OR
TAKE ANY INJECTION OR ROB ANY CREAM ON THEIR BODIES SHALL HAVE
ETERNAL LIFE.

The Holy Spirit has come as the New Heaven and the New Earth. He permeates all the facets of
the earth. No one should complain about the lack of anything, whether child, money, food,
spouse or anything. He is everything for man. He is sufficient for every man. He is in your
house, office, bethel, and everywhere. It is said that the testimony of Our Lord Jesus Christ are
the words of prophecy (Rev 19:10). ALL HIS WORD SHALL COME TO PASS, THOSE
THAT ARE NOT YET FULFILLED SHALL COME TO PASS IN THEIR DUE TIME.

HOPE IN THE HOLY SPIRIT:

THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE SOURCE OF TRUTH, PEACE, LOVE, PROSPERITY. HE IS

THE GOD YOU KNEEL AND BOW UNTO. HE IS THE SOURCE OF PEACE AND ALL
GOODNESS. WE SHOULD THEREFORE THANK GOD IMMENSELY BECAUSE HE HAS
COME AS HE PROMISED, THAT THIS GENERATION SHALL NOT PASS AWAY UNTIL
ALL THINGS HAVE BEEN CONSUMMATED. LET ALL YOUR HOPE BE IN THE HOLY
SPIRIT. CALL UPON HIS NAME FREQUENTLY, FOR HE WAS APPOINTED TO LEAD.
REVEAL HIM TO THE WHITES AND THE BLACKS, YOUNG AND OLD, BOND AND
FREE. TELL THEM HE IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERYTHING. OUR DUTY IS
TO RECEIVE AND HAIL HIM.
Many of the members ascribe His power and wisdom to themselves because of their selfish
interests. Not too long ago a ship got stuck in the middle of the ocean. The ship's crew tried all
they could but the ship could not be rescued. Finally, a Brotherhood member who heard about
the situation went there with holy oil and prayed, and the ship was rescued. However it has not
occurred to the beneficiaries to come here and thank the Holy Father for even one day. If they
are faced with a similar problem again, will they remember to run to the Father for help? THERE
IS NOTHING GOD CANNOT DO. The Holy Father can change a letter of termination to that of
promotion. If you are asked of the wonderful work and power in this kingdom, tell such a person
that the Holy Spirit is responsible. Read the Golden Text.

GOLDEN TEXT: 2 CORINTHIANS 5:16-17

Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea though we have known Christ after
the flesh, yet henceforth know we him no more. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new
creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."

THE HOLY SPIRIT IS VIRTUOUS:

Beloved brethren, the above text explains what the Holy Spirit is. HE STANDS FOR PEACE,
LOVE, TRUTH, MEEKNESS, HUMILITY, AND ALL THE VIRTUES. HE IS LAVISHLY
FOUND IN ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD. If your car develops a fault and somebody put it in
order for you, without charging you a fee, realize that he is the messiah. The person who shelters
you, feeds you, and clothes you is the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit is the only one who does everything to all men gratis. This is not the time to
attempt to identify the Lord and the Holy Spirit in the physical body. EVEN IF YOU KEEP THE
LORD'S PORTRAIT IN YOUR HOUSE, YOU CANNOT IDENTIFY HIM. He knows what
you want and He does it for you without failure. He is the one who keeps you company and
protects you.

Verily, verily, I say into you, he that believeth in me, the works that I do, shall he also do, and
greater works than these shall he do: because I go unto my Father. (John 14:12).

Have you not found the works of the Holy Spirit being greater than Christ's? THESE GREATER
WORKS ARE EXEMPLIFIED IN LOVE, TRUTH, HUMILITY, MEEKNESS, AND ALL
VIRTUES.

You cannot behold the Spirit because you are carnally minded. YOU DO NOT NEED TO
KNEEL, OR PRAY OR GIVE YOUR NAME AND PROBLEM FOR PRAYERS IN ANY
CHURCH. IF YOU GIVE HIM ALL DUE GLORY, ALL WILL BE WELL WITH YOU. This
explains why it is said, that his name shall be written on your forehead and you will see him face
to face. WHAT THE HOLY SPIRIT DOES NOT DO IS TO CLAIM RESPONSIBILITY FOR
ANYTHING. You do not know Him because you work in the flesh. Anyone who abides in the
flesh shall die. Live by the dictates of the Spirit and you shall live, and do not ask Him any
questions.

If you go to Mecca, you will find "O.O.O." inscribed on all the stones and places of worship. The
Muslim themselves are surprised and they cannot explain how the inscription came about.

I too do not know who is responsible for these inscriptions. NOW TELL THE WORLD THAT
SHE SHOULD CEASE TO SEEK FOR OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IN THE FLESH. HE
WAS KNOWN IN THE FLESH IN THE PREVIOUS ADVENT AND NOT NOW. HE
ABIDES IN SPIRIT. IF ANY MAN DOES NOT WALK IN THE SPIRIT HE CANNOT
KNOW HIM. ANYTIME YOU KNEEL DOWN AND THANK HIM, HE WILL FULFILL
YOUR REQUEST. PREACH HIS NAME IN THE MARKET PLACE, OFFICES, FARMS, TO
THE PRESIDENT, GOVERNOR, KINGS AND QUEENS ETC.

It is said that a stroke of the cane is sufficient for the wise. Let those who have ears, hear what
the Holy Spirit has imparted to the world, may God bless His Holy words. Amen.

THANK YOU HOLY FATHER.
