HEARERS”

THE SUPERNATURAL TEACHER AND
SOLE SPIRITUAL HEAD OF THE UNIVERSE
BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR.
HIGHLIGHTS:
1.MEN ARE THE CHRIST OF GOD
Do you believe that all human beings are Christs, all of you sitting
down here are Christs? If you should be disgraced, it is not you but Our
Lord Jesus Christ. This idea should be very clear to you because from
the beginning he had said,"I and the Father are One."(John 10:30). He
also said "I am in the Father and the Father dwells in Me."(John 14:10).
He does not engage in your type of conversation. Sometimes you say
there is God, and would give him glory. At other times you claim that
even if God should come down that you would not do a particular
thing. Your house is divided, one side for God, and other side to vain
things. All these prove that you do not believe in Our Lord Jesus
Christ. The most grievous sin is to sow the seed of division. If they
should reject you, it is because of division. If you do not believe in
Him, that spells your doom.
2. GOD IS THE VINE AND MEN ARE BRANCHES:
He says, abide in Me and I will also abide in you. I am the vine and, ye
are the branches: He that abideth in Me, and I in Him, the same
bringeth forth much fruit: for without Me ye can do nothing. If a man
abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men
gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned. (John
15:1-6). For this reason, if you do not abide in Him and He in you, you
cannot have Everlasting Life. If you do not put on Christ, you are
empty. No person can do anything on his own without Christ
dwelling in Him. No flesh and blood can do this work except
Jehovah God and His Christ.(Matt 16:17). At all times in your life,
give glory to Christ. Attribute all responsibilities to Him and not to
yourself.
3. OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS OMNIPRESENT:
People think that when Our Lord Jesus Christ comes, He will be
stationed at a particular place: a synagogue or Cathedral. That is
erroneous. Our Lord Jesus Christ is everywhere ruling over everything.
People also contemplate that in the year 2001 Our Lord Jesus Christ
may be in America probably contesting election as a president. This is
wishful thinking.
HAVE YOU NOT SEEN THE
MANIFESTATION OF HIS GLORY IN EACH OF YOU?
People complain that the power in this New Kingdom is of Beelzebub
and not of God. Is it not Our Lord Jesus Christ whom they are referring
to as Beelzebub? THAT STATEMENT MADE BY HIM THAT NO ONE
KNOWS THE FATHER EXCEPT THE SON AND NO ONE KNOWS THE
SON EXCEPT THE FATHER IS FULFILLED IN US ALL TODAY. AND IT IS
ONLY TO WHOMSOEVER THE SON WILL REVEAL HIMSELF.(MATT
11:27) NOW JEHOVAH GOD AND HIS CHRIST HAS TAKEN DOMINION
OVER YOU; FROM HEAD TO TOE. But have you realized this? Are you
still eating the kinds of food you used to take before? Do you still
behave the way you used to do in the past? Do you know why you are
not so orderly and well-mannered? Do you know that it is Jehovah God
and His Christ who is at work?
The word of God is the stone which the builders rejected and has
become the head of the corner, (Psalm 118:22/ Mark 12:10). Therefore,
it is wonderful. Even though it is not meant for every person to hear
the word of God and put same into practice, but you must have heard
the wordings of the prayer offered by my daughter Deaconess Itam
which indeed conforms with the gospel of today. It seemed she had
known the facts about the gospel which is to be delivered. It is
through the word of God that even those who have fallen short of
God's glory, when they hear God's words, they receive Salvation. It is
through the word of God that thieves, armed-robbers, murderers and
the rest of them repent of their crimes.
6.Before they started conspiring to stop Brotherhood
from preaching I had already finished my program.
This explains why many people, including the media-
men, have been pestering us to get our records and
what goes on here. But this is our time to bluff them.
Having preached on the television in 1984,'85 and
'86 the whole world was captured. The nooks and
corners of the world would have been covered, and
therefore there was nothing to preach about any
longer. NOW THE "HERALD OF THE NEW KINGDOM,"
THE OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THIS KINGDOM, AND
OTHER PUBLICATIONS OF THIS NEW
KINGDOM ARE ENOUGH TO DISSEMINATE THE
GOSPEL OF THIS KINGDOM TO ALL INHABITANTS
OF THE WORLD.
7. The entire inhabitants of the world put together are greatly
indebted to the Holy Spirit. I have banned coup d'etat in the world, and
THE WOMEN ARE
as such there will be no more coups.
LIBERATED, AND NOW THE WOMEN ARE FREE TO
CONTEST ELECTIONS ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.
THIS IS THE WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. THE ONLY
WAY OF SALVATION TO THE WHOLE HUMAN RACE
IS THE WORD OF GOD. THE ONLY THING THAT CAN SOLVE
THE PROBLEMS OF MANKIND IS THE WORD OF GOD. APART FROM
THE WORD OF GOD THERE IS NOTHING THAT WILL EVER SOLVE THE
PROBLEMS OF HUMANITY.
8. A GREAT MANY OF YOU WHEN YOU HEAR ONE MENTION THE
ANGEL GABRIEL YOU DESIRE TO BE THE ONE. DO NOT DESIRE TO BE
AN ANGEL BECAUSE YOUR POSITION IS GREATER THAN THAT OF AN
ANGEL. IT IS ASKED,"TO WHICH OF THE ANGELS DID GOD SAY YOU
ARE MY SON, TODAY HAVE I BEGOTTEN YOU? Again when He
bringeth in the first begotten of God into the world he says, "Let all
God's angels worship Him."(Hebrews 1:5-6). When the Father sends
His first begotten into the world, He will command that all the angels
to worship Him - Wind, seas, fire, earth, and all the angels will bow to
him. What do you think about such a man? Angels and all the creation
of God will bow down to worship that person. What do you think about
that person?
9. THE POSITION OF A MAN AND WOMAN:
Man is the head of a woman, Christ is the head of a man and God is the
head of Christ. Now, the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost are here
present on earth, but you still expect Christ to come down from the
sky. Which Christ do you think you are expecting from the sky? Do you
not hear that, JESUS CHRIST HAS BEEN APPOINTED THE
BRIDEGROOM OF THE UNIVERSE? SO, TILL DOOMSDAY, A
FORNICATOR AND ADULTERER CANNOT SEE AND ENJOY THE GLORY
OF THIS KINGDOM FOR SUCH PEOPLE ARE IN HELL. WHILE THOSE
WHO NEITHER MARRY NOR ARE GIVEN IN MARRIAGE AS CONTAINED
IN OUR FIRST LESSON WOULD INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD. THIS
GOSPEL IS NOT MEANT FOR ALL TO IMBIBE AND PRACTICE FOR IT IS
MEANT FOR SPECIFIC PEOPLE. ON THE OTHER HAND, THOSE WHO
WERE MEANT TO PERISH WOULD IMBIBE THE TEACHING AND
STILLGO ON TO EMBRACE POLYGAMY AND IMMORALITY. THE
PEOPLE WHO FALL INTO THIS GROUP HAVE NO ALTERNATIVE, FOR
THEY ARE THE VICTIMS OF CIRCUMSTANCE, FOLLOWING THE FOOT
PATH OF THEIR FOREFATHERS. THOSE OF THE WORLD MARRY AND
ARE GIVEN IN MARRIAGE WHILE THOSE WHO ARE OF THE KINGDOM
OF GOD NEITHER MARRY NOR ARE GIVEN IN MARRIAGE. THOSE IN
THE LATTER GROUP HAVE NO BUSINESS WITH CARNAL THINGS OF
THIS WORLD RATHER, THEY EMBRACE ONLY THE VIRTUES OF GOD.
10. *It is said that wives should submit to their husbands. And this
means that wives should love their husbands. Before you could submit
to any person it means you love that person. AND THEREFORE
SUBMITTING TO SOMEONE MEANS LOVING THAT PERSON. AND ON
THE OTHER HAND THE HUSBANDS HAVE BEEN TOLD TO LOVE THEIR
WIVES. AND WHAT DOES LOVING THE WIVES MEAN? IF YOU LOVE
ANY PERSON IT MEANS YOU WILL SUBMIT TO THAT PERSON. IF YOU
LOVE YOUR WIVES IT MEANS YOU WILL SUBMIT TO THEM AS WELL.
The two situations mean one and the same thing. And in the other way
round, it means that wives should love their husbands, and husbands
should submit to their wives
1. A WOMAN MUST NOT RULE OVER A MAN
TEXT: 1 TIMOTHY 2: 12
"But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the
man, but to be in silence."
"For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel; not with
wisdom of words lest the Cross of Christ should be made of none
effect."
Brethren hear the word of God. Many people do not have regard for the
words of God. And about ninety percent of the entire people of the
world have no regard for the word of God. This is what has brought
suffering to the world today. It is pathetic to note that the blacks, the
whites and the entire humanity, their eyes are not yet open for them to
see and comprehend the importance of the word of God. Money does
not save any person, food is valueless. The house you live in, the
shoes you put on, the motor car you drive and many other things you
use in life do not avail you anything good. It is only the Gospel which is
the power of God, and which does good for every person.
The word of God is the stone which the builders rejected and has
become the head of the corner, (Psalm 118:22/ Mark 12:10). Therefore,
it is wonderful. Even though it is not meant for every person to hear
the word of God and put same into practice, but you must have heard
the wordings of the prayer offered by my daughter Deaconess Itam
which indeed conforms with the gospel of today. It seemed she had
known the facts about the gospel which is to be delivered. It is
through the word of God that even those who have fallen short of
God's glory, when they hear God's words, they receive Salvation. It is
through the word of God that thieves, armed-robbers, murderers and
the rest of them repent of their crimes.
You have heard the second lesson that Christ has sent me out not to
baptize but to preach the word of God; more importantly not with the
wisdom of world, lest the Cross of Christ becomes of none effect.
It is because of what people are doing that the word of God does not
seem to have impact on the world. That is why all the buildings you
find in the name of orthodox churches are empty. Those who go in
there continue speaking vain words which do not give glory to God.
Because of turning away from the path of God to their carnal ways, the
word of God seems to have no impact in the world. Why should there
be sin in the world today? Why should there be fornication? Why
should people go to consult oracles and juju priest, and mermaid
doctors and herbalist? Why should any person derail from the right
path into committing atrocious acts? All the mishaps come unto the
world because the people are preaching and practicing falsehood.
Even though they put up hassocks and other paraphernalia, they
preach not the doctrines of God. The word is power. The word can
change any person and bring him to the path of righteousness. I am
pleased that you all love the word of God.
There is no person who will listen to the word of God, and will not be
changed. You can recall the encounter with king Agrippa when Paul
was presenting his statement of defense. The king listened to the
word of God with rapt attention. And because of that, the king, called
on Paul and told him inside the court: It was only little that remained
he would have been fully converted. (Acts 26:28) And Paul said it is not
little that remained, taking away his imprisonment, he was avid that
the king would turn a Christian. If you knew the intricacies of the word
of God, you should realize that the word of God is a two-edged sword.
Therefore, there is nothing that the word of God cannot do. The word
of God triumphs over death. It triumphs over sickness and overcomes
all things.
There was a time Paul was delivering the word of God, and a damsel
was passing at a distance and overheard Paul preaching that those
who will be counted worthy to inherit this kingdom neither marry nor
are given in marriage. (Luke 20:35) The damsel who was preparing for
her wedding, on hearing this gospel by Paul was captivated and she
stopped further actions which would have led to her being married.
Consequently, the young woman was tortured, threatened and
imprisoned in attempt to force her into marriage. She had disabused
her mind completely on anything about marriage and resolved to work
for God so that she could be counted worthy of God's kingdom. Realize
now how powerful the word of God is and how it could also lure a
person into salvation. Unless you listen to the word of God you cannot
be easily converted. Even if you are in Hades, the word of God will find
you out.
You have heard our Golden text: I am not ashamed to preach the word
of God because it is the salvation to every person who receives it. Be
you a king, or a slave, or bond, or whatever status you may be. The
word of God can rectify everything in the whole world. If the entire
inhabitants of the world will listen to the word of God, all ills and
mishaps will be eradicated. And whether they like it or not, they must
practice the word of God. By sending His words into your body, He has
permeated your minds, organs and systems. And therefore, no matter
how vicious you have been, the word of God will change you and
redirect your steps to the path of goodness. What did Paul say? He
said, "I have through the word of God begotten all of you." This is why
I call you the children of God. And so God has begotten you with His
word of God. (Acts 13:33) This explains why I call you my children. If
somebody gives you a million naira(N1m), you can thank him just to
show appreciation . But don't forget that the money is nothing to you.
But the word of God is the most precious thing. The word of God is
salvation; it is life to as many as the Father has given them ability to
practice.
PREACH THE GOSPEL OF REDEMPTION TO ALL
It is against this background that it is said that the spirit of the Lord is
upon me, upon you, that I should preach the Salvation to those who
are oppressed and redemption to those who have missed their own
way. (Luke 4:18). The word of God therefore, is the only way out of all
difficulties. The most important work in this kingdom is to preach the
word of God. Those called into this kingdom -the young ones, the aged,
the sisters, and the brothers- have to preach the word of God. The
spirit of God is imparted into every person here to go out and preach
for the Salvation and for the redemption of mankind. We should go out
and preach so hard that a thief will withdraw from stealing, a
fornicator will refrain from fornicating, a murderer will stop committing
murder and so on.
God said that a woman should submit to her husband and the husband
should love his wife? (Colossians 3:18-19/ Ephesians 5:22-25) What is
the difference in this case? It is one and the same thing. It could be
looked at as "love" and "charity". Somebody who is just a beginner in
English language might think that there is some difference between
the word "love" and "charity". But in the real sense of it, the two words
mean one and the same thing. THE FACT REMAINS THAT THEY ARE
SYNONYMS. THIS EXPLAINS WHY, WHEN THE WHITE MEN ARE
HOLDING THEIR MEETINGS, ALL DISCUSSIONS AND DELIBERATIONS
ARE DONE IN THE FRENCH LANGUAGE, AND THE PROCEEDINGS AT
THE MEETING WILL BE DOCUMENTED IN FRENCH TOO. THIS IS
BECAUSE THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE IS COMPLICATED AND FULL OF
AMBIGUITIES SUCH THAT ONE WORD COULD POSSIBLY MEAN MANY
THINGS. It is said that wives should submit to their husbands. And this
means that wives should love their husbands. Before you could submit
to any person it means you love that person. And therefore submitting
to someone means loving that person. And on the other hand the
husbands have been told to love their wives. And what does loving the
wives mean? If you love any person it means you will submit to that
person. If you love your wives it means you will submit to them as
well. The two situations mean one and the same thing. And in the
other way round, it means that wives should love their husbands, and
husbands should submit to their wives. Have you not heard what Christ
said? That any person who loves me will keep my commandment and
my Father will love him; and we should come and dwell with him.
(John 14:23)
If you love any person you will listen to whatsoever the person says.
You will obey the person. If you love any person you will comply with
whatever that person tells you to do. If you are told to crawl on the
floor you will obey; if somebody tells you go there you will go because
you love the person and that is why you submit to the person. It is said
children obey your father and your mother, and you parents must love
your children. (Eph 6:1) To obey your father and your mother means
you should love them. If you comply, it means that the person you obey
is the person you love. And invariably, to love your children means to
obey your children, because when you love any person it stands to
reason that you have surrendered yourself completely to such a
person, and do all his bidding. Note that it does not mean that you
should go and oppress your children, or kill them. The Father or the
Holy Spirit has come in force to liberate the oppressed.
Brethren, have you heard that? If the word of God which prevails now
had been hitherto, then all the hazards of life, -division, killing,
fighting, corruption, malice and all other sins would not have been in
existence. Look at the state of the military (soldiers) and how wars are
being fought. But God has directed that we should not kill. But you find
that there are killings all over the world. Why? It is said that nobody
should be oppressed. But you will realize the oppression and its
degree in the world today. If you don't have a godfather or any person
to fight on your behalf you will be seriously oppressed and victimized
in the society; and possibly you may even be driven out of your
community. Now is the fullness of time that all those oppressing
others should stop forthwith and grant liberty to the oppressed. If you
ask the poor, or the down trodden, they have been made to believe
that there is something like witch or wizard or mermaid, or juju, or
charms used in oppressing others. And you will find many people going
naked due to certain concoctions which were injected into them; and
they believe that these things do exist. You all should go and preach
the word of God to the people that they might release all those they
have oppressed. You have been commissioned to go with authority
and preach to the people telling them that there is nothing like
mermaid, or juju, or charms, or apparition.
The book of Exodus chapter twenty (Exodus 20) has stipulated that
thou shall have no other gods before me. However, many people have
graven images that they worship as God. Conclusively, there is nothing
like juju, or charm, or diabology and so on, and from now henceforth, I
do not want to hear such foolish statement made by any one of you. If
somebody tells you that you are worried by witches or wizards all in
the name of giving you visions, hold him tight, do not listen to him, but
give him severe beatings. If somebody comes up and disguises himself
before you, as a ghost or mermaid, you have to be his marksman. Get
into his house and pack out all the paraphernalia and materials and
destroy all of them. When you finish, go your own way, for nothing will
happen to you. What they do is an organized deceit. Some will put up
something on their faces, and come out to recite certain incantations
and will tell you that an apparition is speaking. All these are
elementary tricks. There is absolutely nothing that exists apart from
the word of God. It is a mere deceit for any person to tell you that
apparitions are in existence.
Now you are witnesses to the fact that many people who have
initiated into over thirty of the so-called secret societies, still find
themselves coming into Brotherhood to seek salvation. Why do they
come in here when they had claimed to belong to sources of great
powers in the world? They come in here seeking for prayers and holy
oil. This is the time that all the oppressed will be liberated from the
enslaving bondage of Satan.
You have equal right in this kingdom. We have equal right in this
kingdom because the God who owns the kingdom is my God, and your
God. This same God belongs to every person or nation. We all have
equal rights, and same should be given to every person. Your wife,
children, brother and relations should be given equal right. Give to
people whatever is their right, and let every person be at liberty.
Somebody may come and tell you this or that is the best church, but I
want you to note that there is no such church declared as the best.
The only church that was founded by our Lord Jesus the Christ is The
Word of God. This is the only thing our Lord Jesus the Christ founded
and established. Even the Roman Catholic faith came into existence
two hundred (200) years after the death of Christ; and Boniface was
the founder.
What did they find after our Lord Jesus must have established the
word of God? All along the line, Roman Catholic faith was married with
the secret societies like Rosicrucian (AMORC) and the rest of them.
You should now realize that even the churches have nothing to write
home about the word of God. The churches are empty. They only exist
as mere commercial ventures. Our Lord Jesus the Christ taught and
demonstrated oneness to his own disciples by having one table and
sharing love feast. They ate in common, and drank from one cup. But
what obtains in the churches nowadays is having separate tables for
different people. Who has taught them all these doctrines? The only
authentic doctrine that we know is the one taught by our Lord Jesus
Christ, that every person is one. (John 17:21). And to this end
everything is shared in common.
You should notice that deceitful persons have gone into the world and
have given people wrong information about Brotherhood. Some say
Brotherhood is Beelzebub, juju, apparition, vampire, witchcraft and
many other demonic names. The people of the world with their frail
and fragile nature are made to believe all these allegations leveled
against Brotherhood. Even members of Brotherhood are called by
these names - Beelzebub. It is on this note that you are commissioned
to go and tell them this good news; for when these words get into
them, they may receive Salvation.
The Armageddon war is the word of God and its impact in the world.
The people of the world thought that Brotherhood through the
television screen every Sunday was gaining grounds more and more.
And because of such development the Father stopped the television
issue.And now Brotherhood is spreading more rapidly
like wild fire. The word of God is going into all the
nooks and corners of the world. The word of God has
gone into the waters, and is breaking mighty stones.
FORTUNATELY OR UNFORTUNATELY FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE
WORLD; SOME PEOPLE WERE ALWAYS MOVED BY THE TRUTH IN THE
FATHER'S GOSPELS WHEN THE "BROTHERHOOD PULPIT"
(TELEVISION PROGRAM) WAS ON. AND SOME PEOPLE WITH
POLLUTED MINDS ON SEEING THESE THINGS WERE ANNOYED. THEY
CONSPIRED WITH OTHERS THAT THEY SHOULD NOT ALLOW
BROTHERHOOD PULPIT TO CONTINUE ON TELEVISION BECAUSE
INHABITANTS OF THE WORLD WILL BE WHOLLY CONVERTED TO
BROTHERHOOD. AND AS IF THAT WAS NOT ENOUGH, THEY ALSO
CONSPIRED TO STOP BROTHERHOOD MEMBERS FROM GOING ON
PROCESSIONAL (OUTING) ON THE STREETS. THEY DID ALL THESE IN
A BID TO MAR PROGRESS OF BROTHERHOOD.
With the coming of the Holy Spirit, everything is perfect and no other
thing exists. Nothing flaps its wings nor rears its ugly head any longer.
He has taken over the mantle of rulership as monotheistic God, He
alone rules. Therefore believe that The Word of God is the Father, the
Son and the Holy Spirit. It is Salvation, life, and protection for every
man. Do not condemn, or judge, or criticize when you are preaching.
Do not tell somebody to withdraw his membership from the Roman
Catholic saying that Roman Catholic is not good, and that Brotherhood
is good. You are enjoined to put sentiments aside and preach the word
of God. You should tell a thief to refrain from stealing. You should
preach to all manners of persons to refrain from their evil ways of life.
Do not condemn, or cause heresy, division, or trouble, because that is
not what you are taught. Let our second lesson be read.
"For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel; not with
wisdom of words lest the Cross of Christ should be made of none
effect."
Brethren, have you heard that? Now, are you not using the wisdom of
the world to preach the gospel of God? Every person is Brotherhood.
The fishes in the water, the animals in the bush, the birds of the air
and other creations of the God constitute Brotherhood. You should
therefore not kill them. You have to love them. There should be no
division among you, as every creation of God is part of you. All these
things are according to how they are named for us. For instance if you
start attending the Roman Catholic Church now and after three weeks
you swing to the Presbyterian Church, it may be sometime in future
you withdraw from the Presbyterian to "God The Host Church." It
therefore means that you are a person who has been to three different
Churches at different times. You were a Catholic. You were a
Presbyterian and the same time, you have become a member of the
"God The Host Mission." Tell me, what is the truth there? You are a
rolling stone which gathers no moss.
Our Lord Jesus the Christ did not send you out to criticize, condemn or
judge. It does not mean that since you are no longer a member of a
particular church that you should preach against that church, its
clergy or the members there. As you have been told to go and preach
the word of God, you should preach that those who are stealing should
steal no longer. All the fornicators should not commit fornication any
more, the murderers should refrain from killing. All should preach this
Gospel of Salvation to the entire world. When you preach that there is
diabology, it means you have derailed from the word of God. When you
preach about money or about a particular person or group of persons,
you have derailed from the path of God and rectitude. When you
preach about a church you have also gone out of the way. You are
enjoined to preach the word of God, and not to preach about witches,
or wizards. You have been commissioned to go and preach that those
who are oppressed should be liberated that Salvation and freedom
await the oppressed. All the sinners should therefore refrain from sins.
Preach to every person to worship Jehovah God and His Christ and to
refrain from diabolical things. They should be plainly told that juju
does not exist at all, and ensure that you never preach about any
person. All those who come in here today, and indeed, every person
that hears this word today and believes, have been saved. You are told
not to love the world and its affections and lusts, because whosoever
loves the world, the love of God is not in him. (1 John 2:15). Do not put
your mind in money, houses, children, clothing, riches and other
mundane things. Let the word of God preoccupy your mind at all times.
It is said that in the beginning was the word and the word was with
God, and the Word was God. (John 1:1) There was nothing made that
was made without the word. It was through the word that everything
was made. But today the Holy Spirit has come Himself sending no one.
If you believe in Him, He has perfected everything in you. There is
nothing left which He has not done. This word is the peace which you
are enjoying today. The word is the children, the word is the food, and
so on. The word is everything you need in life. And if you get the word,
it means you have acquired everything in life. The world knows not the
word of God. But here in this Kingdom, the word is the most significant
thing. That is why the word of God is given to you here for hours on
end. And the more it is given to you, the more you need it. The word of
God is life and is salvation. You will recall that many people often
wonder how they have been staying here for two, three hours or
longer, listening to the word of God. Some would openly express that
they would not even stay up to one hour to listen. When these persons
would be called by the Father into this kingdom, you will notice that
they may stay beyond two hours listening to the word of God. And the
more they listen, the more they would be thrilled, and they would wish
it should go on and on almost endlessly. The Golden text will now be
read. Listen with rapt attention.
Right now have you not put to shame the word of God? Who agrees to
preach the word of God these days? Besides that if you see a Bishop
with his snuff box or bottle of illicit gin, give him the word of God. If
you come across a chief judge with rings and protective charms,
amulets and talisman on his fingers and at the same time he is
drinking illicit gin, you have to give the word of God. This explains why
many of them are afraid of coming to see me because whoever comes
here must receive the word of God, no matter his position in life,
whether she is Queen Elizabeth or any other principality, as soon as
they come in here, I have to give them the word of God and finally they
will see their nakedness. I am not ashamed to preach the word of God,
for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth, to
the Jew first, and also to the Greek. This explains why I am
preoccupied in preaching the word of God 365 days in a year, and 24
hours every day. This is true of me because this is the power of God,
this is the life and this is the salvation. There is no other salvation
apart from the word of God. If you look at the sky until the end of time,
you will not see anything coming out of the sky. What you are looking
for is the word of God which is life and salvation.
Our Lord Jesus the Christ had warned: "Labor not for the meat that
will perish but for the meat that will endure eternally which the son of
man shall give." (John 6:27) The word of God is the meat that will not
perish. Forget about buildings, motor vehicles, money, clothing and so
on. All these things are ephemeral or transitory things. It is the word of
God that will endure till eternity. If somebody gives you money, he
loves you but not much. Somebody who gives you a house for shelter
loves you but very little. If somebody sponsors your education in the
University, he loves you a little. But any person who gives you the
word of God loves you most because he has given you eternal life.
WHOEVER GIVES THE WORD OF GOD HAS GIVEN YOU ETERNAL LIFE:
This explains why the scripture tells us that whosoever preaches the
word of God to you, even though you should give him the whole world
you are still indebted to him. He has given you the word of God, for
everything in the world is transient. But the word he gives unto you
surpasses all things, and by giving you the word of God, he has given
you Salvation, Life, and the Spirit. He has given to you God and has
caused you to be disentangled from all the evil tendencies of the
world.
If somebody gives you money, the money may last for a while and later
it will get finished, and you will return to your previous or worse
position. If somebody gives a motor vehicle to you now he is giving you
problem because the motor vehicle has its attendant problems. And
whosoever gives you any mundane thing has not done the best for you.
But whoever gives you the word of God, has given you eternal life. This
is what you need for ever. With eternal life there is no hunger for you,
you will not be thirsty. You will not be in lack, and there will be no
death for you. (Rev 7:16/Rev 21:4)
The entire inhabitants of the world put together are greatly indebted to
the Holy Spirit. I have banned coup d'etat in the world, and as such
there will be no more coups. The women are liberated, and now the
women are free to contest elections anywhere in the world. This is the
work of the Holy Spirit. The only way of Salvation to the whole human
race is The Word of God. The only thing that can solve the problems of
mankind is The Word of God. Apart from the word of God there is
nothing that will ever solve the problems of humanity.
It is said that a stroke of cane is enough for the wise. I shall not be
tedious unto you. He who has ears let him hear. May God bless His
Holy Word. Amen.
Thank you Holy Father.
The trouble with the people of the world is that they have not
accepted the teachings of Our Lord Jesus Christ which says that we
should not call any person a teacher because we all are brothers. If we
had accepted this teaching, we would have regarded ourselves
throughout the world as brothers. There should be no discrimination
between the white and black or the colored people. And there should
be no distinction between man, woman and child. Division comes
because we have rejected the injunction of Our Lord Jesus Christ to
accept the other person as our brother. Read Matthew 12:25: "And
Jesus knew their thoughts and said unto them; every kingdom divided
again itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided
against itself shall not stand." Read again St. Matthew 25:8 "But be ye
not called Rabbi; for one is your master, even Christ, and all ye are
brethren."
Animals were created to serve human being, and that you humans sit
in your position of glory and honor while all these lower creatures
administer unto you. Right from the day you decide to wage war
against them by killing them for meat, you lost your glory. That is why
there is no peace between man and the lower animals.
Man is thrown into confusion. Both whites and blacks are in a state of
confusion. If there were any possible means, people would have loved
to go and rest in the Hades because there is no peace in the world;
and if there were any entrance that leads to Heaven, everyone would
have loved to go and rest there because of the same prevalent unrest
in the world. But right now if you want to go to Heaven, the gate is
closed; and if you want to go to Hell, the gate is also closed, and so
people have become antagonistic against one another. They fight and
kill one another.
The reason you look for animals, birds, and fishes is to use them for
food. The reason men look for women and women for men, it to get
married and have children. Sometimes you will say that a girl is very
beautiful that if it were yourself of those days, you would have her for
a wife. A man marries a woman for two reasons only. But I ask you,
are these the only reason for which a woman was created? A man
should realize that he is only half, like-wise a woman, and when the
two of them are joined together they become an entity. Minus the a
man, a woman is incomplete, and minus a woman, a man is
incomplete, he is only half. Have you ever come to this wisdom of
truth? If all men in the world are assembled together, no matter their
deliberations, they cannot accomplish anything because they are only
half of what should be whole. There is no other duty performed by a
man, for when ever men congregate to discuss matters, their natural
instinct is to fight, kill, and cause trouble because they are only half of
the whole. They would not want anything that would cause confusion
in their midst. But where there is trouble, there can be no peace. It is
said you should neither be hot or cold, and that is why women who are
cool and men who are hot are mixed together to produce mid-way
between hot and cool. The woman is part of the man. What God has
taken out of a man to create a woman is LOVE, and that is why all the
time, your mind and thoughts are concentrated on your wife. This is
why when you sit in your office writing you continue to think of your
wife at home. If someone should come and steal your certificates,
house properties, you will not wage war against that person, but
whosoever tampers with your wife, you will wage war against that
person and promise never to forgive the person.
When Moses was sent by God to deliver the children of Israel from the
land of bondage, he argued with God that he was a stammerer, that he
will not be able to withstand Pharaoh and his people. God gave him a
mouth-piece and that was his brother Aaron. Wherever he went, Aaron
spoke on his behalf. In the same way, women are given to men as
prophets. Everything that would happen to a man, wherever he would
be, God would reveal it to his wife and not to him. Man sees nothing in
his dreams, but the things surrounding his life would be revealed to his
wife. It is pitiful that man does not reckon on the woman. Women are
regarded as insignificant personalities in the society. Because of this
idea, man does not want any advice from the woman in his business
undertakings. And when he plans and fails, he carries his hand on the
head and he cries to the woman in the house. In the same way, any
woman who does business alone without being in partnership with a
man cannot succeed. Man and woman have to join hand together
before they can succeed. It is because of the way the women are
manhandled by men that makes them vow never to become women
again in the next generation. They say this because they do not realize
their responsibility.
With all your so called knowledge, you do not know that if you want to
do anything a man and a woman should be brought together before
anything is formed. Man is half, likewise is a woman half. There is
nothing created by God that does not have some specific assignment.
Everything created by God has some specific assignment to carry out.
AND SO IT IS OUR DUTY TO INVESTIGATE THE ASSIGNMENT OF EACH
ONE OF US AND THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH HE HAS CREATED US.
Upon all the book knowledge you claim to have acquired, your claims
to have lived in planets for many years, but did you know that man,
woman, and child in the entire world come from the same Father? The
opinion of the woman should be taken into consideration as well as
that of the man. Do you know the role a woman is coming to play in
the world? I know as you are sitting down here, you do not regard any
woman as something. You even respect your domestic animals in your
house more than the woman. You command them in the house like
soldiers in the war front. You hush them up, asking them to stand up
when you are talking, threatening to beat them up if they fail to take
your orders. When I hear all these things, I shed tears for the woman.
THE JUDGEMENT OF ALL THOSE WHO MALTREAT WOMEN IS COMING
SOON, AND IT WILL BE VERY SEVERE. You only need a woman for one
thing and after that you torment her. All of you here have in one way or
the other deceived a woman. Even if you have not been telling lies to
other people, you will start to telling lies to a woman.
When things are so bad with you, you go and attach yourself to a
woman, promising to marry her, and she will accept you, not knowing
that you are deceiving her. Women are easily deceived because they
do not believe in the truth, they yield easily to falsehood. Women
assume to know everything, not knowing that they do not know
anything. There is a fierce war between the man and a woman. The
man plans on how to deceive as many women as possible and the
woman on the other hand plans how to enslave men to themselves. Do
not deceive a woman again, for women are your sisters and you all are
one. Read Matthew 27:15-20:
Now at that feast, the governor was wont to release unto the people a
prisoner, whom they would. And they had then a notable prisoner
called Barabas. Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate
said unto them; whom will you that I release unto you? Barabas or
Jesus which is called Christ? For he knew that for envy they had
delivered Him. When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife
sent unto him saying, Have thou nothing to do with the just man; for I
have suffered many things this day in a dream because of Him. But the
chief priest and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask
Barabas and destroy Jesus.
You are the only person who has the effrontery to marry so many
women, but if you see your wife with another man, the house is set on
fire. If Pilate had listened to the advice given by his wife, would he
have perished? The wife told him to have nothing to do with that good
man. Pilate did not listen to his wife as you do not listen to your wives
today, and you have to perish. In the compound where you live, all
those who love you or hate you are known by your wife, but you are
ignorant of everything. The only thing that you do is to look for money
and other material things, but your wife knows the intricacies of life. It
is your wife who protects your soul. Do you not know that your life is in
the hands of your wife? She will be the first person to know whatever
is going to happen to you. If she wants you to go naked, cry today,
laugh or rejoice, she is capable of doing it. If she wants you to die
today, she will as well do it.
Even though you would want to go to the sun, or moon to discover the
mysteries existing in these planes, but I tell you emphatically that your
life is in the hand of your wife. She is capable of making you to be poor
or rich, if she wants to. Your troubles and problems and difficulties and
the rest of the unfortunate events occur because you do not make
arrangements with your wife. You only go to her when things are bad
with you. When things are good with you, you go and attach yourself to
another woman in the world and ignore your wife. When you meet with
divers conditions you run back to her again. All the petitions of your
wives are before God, and they are many. They have suffered so much
because you do not treat them as your brethren. AND THE
JUDGEMENT THOSE WHO MALTREAT THEIR WIVES IS A DIFFICULT
ONE.
Brethren, have you heard the text read to you? Can you rightly say that
God answers your prayers as long as you continue to maltreat your
wife? God does not listen to your prayers because you do not love
wife. You have never invited your age group for wrestling, but every
time you will box your wife, beat her up and throw her away because
she will fall immediately you push her. I am very sorry for women
because immediately you are hard on them, they will begin to sob and
surrender. As God compares Himself with man, so does He compare
man with a woman. The wisdom of God is greater than that of man,
and that of man is greater than that of a woman. Man's knowledge or
intelligence is greater than that of a woman.
GENESIS 1:29-30
"And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed,
which is upon the face of all the earth and every tree, in the which is
the fruit of a tree bearing seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to
every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to everything
that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is given every herb for
meat, and it was so."
ONLY FRUITS AND SEEDS ARE GIVEN TO MAN AS FOOD:
Have you heard that brethren? When were you given the authority to
kill and eat an animal? If you eat the meat of any animal, do you not
know that you have eaten man? That is the very first offense against
God. That is what I have devoted this time to teach you. All the words
of God given to you now are not new: They are all those old words
which had been given to you but which you have failed to put into
practice. You should know that the moment you eat meat you have
defiled the temple of the living God, and it is from that moment that
you begin to suffer. Where do you think the blood that come from
human being, goats, hens, and other animals go to? You should think
over all these things, having realized that as man has blood, so also
has a cow, hen, goat, and other animals. They all have one and same
type of blood.
Why you people establish all types of institutions like the cinema
houses, ball-rooms, dance halls; you brew beer and other types of
liquor, so as to obtain some temporary relief from life's tedium. You
want some type of consolation because you have no peace in life, and
so you would want somebody to give you peace. If you had been told
sometime ago that you would stay without drinking beer or any other
drink and still remain healthy, would you have believed? If you had
been told that you would live without taking injections and drugs, and
that you would not go to juju man, soothsayer and to the necromancer
to inject black charcoal into your body, or to give you charms,
talismans or concoction to wear, would you have believed? If you had
been told that in this world you would lie alone on your bed, would you
have believed? You would have said that type of thing would not have
happened in this world.
There is no man who sees the usefulness of a woman apart from being
on the bed with her. Even if she buys you a car, an aeroplane, and
ocean steamer, or any other thing, you will tell her to keep all those
things aside, and allow you to face important things. Our thoughts are
all buried in this one fact, the idea of every man wanting to have a
carnal knowledge of all women. This is why immediately you see a
man and woman you conclude that they have been intimate. Even if
this woman gives you a thousand nairas, the other person is not
bothered about that. What concerns him or her most is that you had
been intimate with that woman.
The law is that you not eat any man's food for nought and a lazy
person should not be fed. All these things hang on: "LOVE YE ONE
ANOTHER." If you form the habit of going to somebody's house to eat
everyday without making any attempt on your part to return the favor,
when the food is exhausted, what do you think will happen to the two
of you? The two of you will be stranded, for there will be will be no
more food left for you to eat. That is the debt you owe everybody.
When somebody does any good thing to you, you have to reward him.
And that is one thing we do in Brotherhood. There is no big or small
man, but we try as much as possible to keep this equality to all human
beings because we have been given these things free of charge, we
are supposed to live as equals with every person.
To remove the barrier between all sets of men. If one is missing, you
cannot get a complete set. You should not joke with whatever is
called "MAN." You are a man, that child is a man, and the other person
is also a man. We should always co-operate together.
We should not have any disregard for any other human being. You
should not cause discrimination and division among yourselves
because if you do, you cannot stand firm. If you continue to quarrel,
fight and hurt yourselves, you cannot stand. Because you regard you
regard the small child as a small person, you go and buy a bowl of
meat and eat it all without giving any to him. When he goes out he tells
people that his father is a bad man that he has eaten a bowl full of
meat without giving him any. He will decide that when he grows up he
would buy his own meat and would not give it to him. Do you know the
reason why at any time you send your child to go and buy some thing
for N1.00 he uses 50 Kobo to buy his meat, and he will come back to
tell you that your article costs N1.00.
Your child is more powerful than you are. It is said that a new broom
sweeps well. If you have a big tree to cut down and you try to use an
old blunt axe, you cannot do the job efficiently. You may even spend
up to two, three or four days on the task. Why not use a new axe that
is sharp and can do the cutting quite easily. Your child is the new,
sharp axe which can cut down the tree. Why do you begin to punish
yourselves and cause divisions between yourselves. Try to tell the
children that you are all equals.
MATTHEW 18:9-14:
"And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out and cast it from thee; it is
better for thee to enter into life with one eye than having two eyes and
to be cast into hell fire. Take heed that ye despise not one of these
little ones. For I say unto you, that in heaven their angels do always
behold the face of my Father which is in Heaven.
For the Son of man is come to save that which is lost. How think ye? If
a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, doth he
not leave the ninety and nine and goeth into the mountains, and
seeketh that which is gone astray? And if so be that he findeth it,
verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the
ninety and nine which went not astray. Even so it is not the will of your
Father which is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish."
Brethren, have you heard that? What about you? If you hear that
something is happening to your so called enemy, somebody you have
declared as your enemy, you will say: I had told him that his sins will
find him out one day, and so that thing happened as a result his sin.
You will eat and drink and thank the God of Brotherhood of the Cross
and Star. Does it mean the God of Brotherhood is a killer? If you sue
somebody in the law court, saying that you want to teach him a lesson
because he stole your belongings, is God pleased with this action? All
the things you are doing are not pleasing to God. Whoever is called a
human being is your brother and so you have to regard him as your
brother, your ownself, and you all are the children of the same Father.
What do you lose in regarding everybody as yourself? What is your
profit if you sow the seeds of division between you and your brother or
sister or your children. Because it is quite clear to us that any kingdom
that is divided against itself shall fall. And so brethren, what I have
come to do is to unite the whole world into one entity. You are taught
love, truth, humility, patience, meekness, and all the other virtues of
God so that you know how to live in peace with one another. If you
have patience, you can afford to stay with thieves, fornicators, and all
sorts of evil doers without trouble and without the urge to take
anybody to the police. You will use your sympathy to coexist with
them. If you are merciful, you will not plan evil against any person. You
will be able to stay in peace with everybody, because it is this mercy
that will guide you through.
Do you know that the Effiks have their own culture? The Quas and the
Effiks also have their own culture. The culture of the Effik is different
from that of the Quas and that of the Quas who have their own
separate culture, the sum total of their behavior. If you go also to the
Uruan, the whole culture there is different from what you saw at Oron.
The Ibibios and the Annangs do not agree because of the different
cultures they have. This is what I have come to do- unite all these
groups together into one whole. The Annangs man is very sharp with
the machete and so he will not spare you when you offend him. He will
first of all chop off your head and then go to the police station to
report that he has killed somebody, and then be will be prepared to be
taken anywhere. If you want to inflict corporal punishment on an
Annang man, he will run away, but if you want to engage him in a duel
with a machete he will thank his God, for that is what he is good at.
That way of life is in his blood. And so the differences in the culture,
ways of life and behaviors create differences among people in the
entire world. These differences exits continue in the cities. Unless
these different cultures are brought together into one social and
cultural whole, there will be no peace.
The bones of fish you eat and throw away, the coconut shells you
throw away and even the condemned iron scraps scattered
everywhere, if they are shipped overseas, they can be used to
manufacture something very useful here. Even the urine that comes
out of you can be used there for one thing or the other. Do you know
that all these things you throw away, small shells, rotten snails and
other materials you condemn here are wanted abroad? Even people
overseas look for contracts for the supply of these things. Do you
know why it is said you should not spit out saliva or cough and spit out
mucus indiscriminately? This is because when it is left on the ground
to mix with the dust, you will end up having to breathe the disease
again when it evaporates and becomes particles in the air. This
happens with the feces you pass into water. The feces cause the
water to be contaminated.
The world is revolving as it goes round. As the scriptures tell you that
there shall be a time when sand shall return to sand, earth to earth
and dust to dust. If it were not so, we would not have had so many
people in the world. When a drop of blood is lost, you know that blood
makes a human being. So many people come out through blood that is
dropped on the ground. When blood is said to be flowing somewhere,
do you know where it goes to? And you say that water flows out of the
body, do you know where it comes from and where it goes to? And so
you have no right to say this thing is very good or that thing is bad, or
that a thing is killing or that it is poisonous. Feed on all the herbs, the
leaves and fruits of the trees are all delicious. If you just boil then and
take then they will give you blood.
Have you heard what is read to you? You always say that God knows
your heart. He does not know. If you do not love your brother, sister, or
neighbor, you do not belong to this kingdom. It is only here that you
have to be one. Where ever you go now to settle, be it Aba, Port
Harcourt, Lagos, Uyo or anywhere at all, you are given land to build
your house, live there with the people peacefully, without division. You
are all one, be it in America, India, or anywhere else. Black or white or
colored, we are one and the same people. Look at the sister sitting
there, she comes from London. Everywhere people are shouting: "we
are brothers." In Ghana, Ivory Coast, Britain, Nigeria and everywhere.
And so you should not continue to complain that you have no father,
mother, brother, or sister or children. What we are doing here is not
raising the dead, giving visions, but to see about uniting every person
in the world together- to bring them into that one and indivisible
whole.
Your attention is drawn to a situation at Ikot Itie Idung, where all the
churches are now united. They have united together. We are working
towards uniting all the Churches together. What is the sense in
causing divisions? Right now all the thieves have teamed up to form a
union, the prostitutes have done the same thing, and the rest of the
people. Tell Me the difference between a thief, prostitute, murderer,
fornicator, swindler or what have you? They are all human beings. Tell
me the reason why you should not come together? Apostle Essien from
Ndon Ebom came the other day and said that all the churches in that
community want to hold a thanksgiving service on the twelfth day of
the month to make peace. In the past, there have been troubles in that
community, and now all of them want to come together and co-
operate. Individually, whether you have money, wisdom, children, it is
not My concern. When you come together, everything is bound into
one, there will be peace, love, wealth, knowledge, power, co-
operation-there will be everything and nothing will be lacking. RIGHT
NOW IF THERE IS ANY PERSON EXISTING IN ANY PART OF THIS
WORLD WHO SAYS HE DOES NOT REVERENCE BROTHERHOOD, THAT
PERSON IS TELLING A LIE. Many people would watch when you say
you have no body to help you- no sister, no brother, or no relatives they
would jump on you and do what they like. But when they discover that
you have many relatives, no person will come to you. When they look
at you, they will say this man calls every person brother, sister, and
here they will fear you and say all these people are your brothers and
sisters. And they will warn other persons not to go there so as not to
be consumed.
Right now if you go to any place, people will be watching you to see if
you are alone or not. As they go up they will see another group of
people coming and conversing. They will walk down and still see one,
two, three, or more people coming, then they will be so discouraged
from doing anything to you because you are so many, and if they
tamper with any of you, they will destroy him. The person has to allow
them to pass. But if you walk alone, the people plotting against you
will be watching you, and they will be moving up and down the road to
see if there are some other persons accompanying you. If they find
that there are no other person, they will jump on you, cut your throat,
and do all sorts of things. You do not have any other people to help you
except members of Brotherhood of the Cross and star. A pastor at Port
Harcourt did not attach himself to his people and the laws of the land,
but instead he attached himself to Brotherhood of the Cross and Star.
Now that he is dead, his people say they have nothing to do with him,
that he was not with them. That is the challenge to Brotherhood and
every hand must be on deck to see that we all go there to meet that
challenge. And so you see that no village, community, town, country or
government can withstand Brotherhood. Should Brotherhood voice out
they will run away and go into hiding. When you begin to make the
pronouncement that you have nobody, and that you are alone in the
world, that is instrumental to your situations and positions in life. You
will not have anybody to assist you in life if you continue to say these
things. You will be poor, will be sick and shall finally die. But once you
continue to believe that Brotherhood will always be at your side,
surely it will be.
God is the God of multitude. Therefore, every person is your brother. If
you say that every man is your brother, every woman is your sister,
you will have power and nothing will influence you. In Brotherhood
wherever we are given land, we have to build houses in villages,
towns, and cities, and even establish firms and other institutions so
that many people who have an occupation will be sent there to work.
Your trouble is that very many people cannot live there, that there is
no electricity, pipe borne water, and all other luxuries. That is what I
have come to do. If you have been weeping like an orphan, you have to
rearrange your thinking, for you have people. You have brothers and
sisters all over the world. When you go out and see the number of
people you have, you will become very joyous and will know that
nothing is wrong with you.
Right now the whole world is filled with Brotherhood children. Every
person you see outside will be wearing white, even those who do not
come to Brotherhood purposely go and sew their whites and put on
and call you brother or sister. Go to Ghana, Liberia, London, and
everywhere in the world, you will see people with white. Do you know
what the world has forgotten? When Dr. Azikiwe was to form a political
party, he went round and gathered all thieves, truck-pushers, and the
rest of the lowly placed people to form the N.C.N.C. But Chief Awolowo
said that he wants to form a political party of decent men, of doctors,
lawyers, millionaires, and educated people, that was Action Group and
fan themselves that the N.C.N.C. cannot cope with them. They forgot
that the thieves, truck pushers and their gangs became ministers with
portfolios. And so all the doctors, lawyers, and other big men were
standing aside in their houses and they did not have a say. That was
the decision of majority.
Don't you know that man is the most expensive thing in the world?
Even if he has crooked eyes, broken legs, he is very useful in the
world. He has an assignment. When in 1977 the Churches in Calabar
and all over the country united together to wage war against
Brotherhood, THE YOUTH FELLOWSHIP was formed to counter the evil
intentions of the churches. The so-called big men ran away and hid
themselves. Those members of other churches thought it was our
Father alone so that they could catch Him like a fowl as they did to
Our Lord Jesus Christ. They did not know that there is a multitude that
they could not cope with. The big men had their role to play while
others carried out the combat; they went on underground work, urging
others to give their support, financial or otherwise. If you go to the
government, police or any place throughout the nation, Brotherhood is
there. The thieves in Brotherhood have their own duty to perform. They
do not steal indiscriminately. If they hear anybody saying any evil word
against Brotherhood, they will mark that person, find out where he
lives, one day they will go and clear his house. And so people will ask
why did you say evil things about Brotherhood, whatever the person
wants will be given to him. And you will boast that without
Brotherhood, I would not have been what I am now, Brotherhood is
feeding me. Another person will ask if I come will they accept me?
Then he will be told that Brotherhood doesn't discriminate, and so the
person will come. There are people listening everywhere to hear what
people would say about Brotherhood. If you say evil words, you will be
so marked out. And so, all of us have assignments. What a truthful
person can do, a liar cannot do it. A liar, a thief, a fornicator and the
rest of the people have their different assignments.
No person is completely useless. That is why death is not yet
destroyed because it has not completed its own assignment. If there is
anything going wrong somewhere, it will be informed to go and do its
work. That is why when you are told to forsake sins, you frown that
you are going to do it gradually, saying that you are only doing it as a
hobby, to safeguard something, afterwards you will do away with it
entirely. The government has realized that it is unwise to continue to
execute murderers, but they have to do it to deter those who think
they can just take up a knife and get to the market and start cutting
off people's head without any cause. They are just punishing them to
keep down the murder rate. It is only at the fullness of time that they
will completely abandon the idea of killing the murderers.
Even if a woman is a fornicator, that does not prevent her from serving
God. The other person is rogue, that does not prevent him from doing
something for God. They are all your brothers and sisters. Everybody
has a purpose; a sister who fornicates will be able to entice plenty of
men into Brotherhood. The same thing is applicable to a man who is a
fornicator. You will say that you are good, how many people have you
brought in here?
A tree has power, its bark has power, the leaves and the roots have
power and so all these small powers must be combined to form an
impregnable power. Whether it is a leaf, root, bark of a tree, water, you
have to bring them together so that you can establish one power.
Are you not surprised about the healing water at Biakpan? You come
from England, London, America, or any other place at all and you carry
your empty cans to collect the water, mud and sand from Biakpan. You
drink it and it cures your sickness. Water from Biakpan is used as the
last resort. It is put on special use only. Somebody can offer to give
you a full bottle of Holy Oil, but when it comes to Biakpan water, the
person will give you only a drop.
Brethren, have you seen that? That is why it is said wherever your
faith is that is where your salvation comes from. Some people have
their faith in trees, some in herbs, some in water and some in spirits.
So those who are linked with trees have their cure from the tree, those
who are linked to the leaves, water and even the sand have their
salvation from each of these. THOSE WHO ARE LINKED TO THE HOLY
SPIRIT HAVE THEIR CURE, POWER AND EVERYTHING FROM THE
HOLY SPIRIT.
If we love each other, we all shall speak only one language, have one
behavior. But if we hate each other, there will continue to be many
languages, we shall believe in different ways of doing things. What
happens in the world today about Brotherhood? You are sitting with
your carnal brother or sister, holding discussions, but immediately you
see your Brotherhood members, you will jump up and follow them and
begin to hold conversation. When you leave your parents and relatives,
you do not even care about them, or what they are saying. They will
say that they do not know what is wrong with you people. They will
say that you are lost.
That sister who came from London did not care to go and visit her
parents. SHE CAME STRAIGHT TO SEE THE HOLY FATHER FIRST.
Yesterday she was here, today she is here again. Right now she is very
happy, being that she is with us.
Anywhere you go, you first of all ask for a Bethel, even if you have had
all storied buildings with so many rooms and comfortable beds. You do
not want all these luxuries of life. You will instead look for a Bethel to
stay comfortably in. What has actually brought you here? What
actually do you eat and enjoy here? IT IS THAT LOVE WHICH HAS
BEEN LOST BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SEPARATED. For very many
years there was no coming together. But right now the Father has
brought everybody together. That is why there is joy, joy, joy.
LET MY PEACE AND BLESSING REMAIN WITH YOU NOW AND
FOREVER MORE. AMEN.

UNFOLDING THE MYSTERIES IN
MARRIAGE
FIRST LESSON LUKE 20:34-35
And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry
and are given in marriage:
But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and
the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in
marriage:
And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which
made them at the beginning made them male and female.
And said, for this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall
cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God
hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, it is good for them if they
abide even as I.
But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than
to burn.
And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, let not the
wife depart from her husband:
82

RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR MARRIAGE:
These instructions constitute the rules and regulations governing the
marriage institution in this kingdom and the world at large. If you do
not want to have any problem with God, and if you desire to live a life
free from problem, you have to abide by this principle.
Peace, progress, good luck, long life and indeed freedom are contained
in this divine principle. Many sensitive issues have eluded the people
of the world due to the fact that they have rejected the leadership of
the Holy Spirit. You are not in spirit. Notwithstanding, there is need for
you to realize that God created everything in pairs, that is, in
masculine and feminine forms. You should be grateful today that you
are privileged to get this recondite wisdom from me.
God created water and fire, He created the land and the sea, the sun
and the moon, day and night, all in pairs. Then He exists as God and
created man in His own image. The creation of man also necessitated
the existence of woman. Note that all His creations do not exist on
their own but as one entity. In other words, He is the embodiment of
all these things so created. He created these things for a specific
purpose. Therefore, it is expected that every creation of God whether
man or woman should know exactly where he or she belongs and hold
fast to his or her position.
It is for this reason that it is not right for a man to dress like a woman,
nor a woman to put on a dress meant for man. None of the opposite
sexes should put on anything that tends to portray each in the
appearance of the other. God created the man as His soldier. While the
woman was created as a comforter. God designed the woman such
that she is capable of softening any difficult situation, while the man is
created with the potentialities of a caterpillar in order to pull down
difficult situations but according to the directive and guidance of this
creator. And so you would realize that God has a purpose for creating
everything in twos - male and female.
84
.
The first man (Adam) is of the earth while the second (Christ) is
heavenly, hence the two cannot agree with each other. Note that both
are the same God. The heavenly person is of the Spirit, he does and
takes delight in spiritual things while the earthly person delights in
earthly things. It is for the clarification of this fact that it is said that:
The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: but those
who shall be accounted worthy to inherit the kingdom and the
resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage
(neither) can they die anymore: for they are equal unto the angels: and
are the children of God.
Also, there is time for everything. To every event a time is allotted for
it. John the Baptist came, he did not marry, neither fornicated nor took
delight in any of the earthly things. He manifested on earth as the
forerunner of Christ. Our Lord Jesus Christ came as the Savior of man,
85
to shed His precious blood for the remission of the sins of mankind;
and to free the entire world from the bondage of sin. By now, you
would realize that John came for the specific assignment of informing
the world of the coming of the Messiah. His function was quite
different from that of Christ.
Christ came to shed His blood for the remission of the sins of man. But
the world fails to know this because it takes delight in copying the
wrong things. For instance, it is common to find somebody wearing
white and you immediately go to the market to buy a white material
without first of all finding out the reason why the other person had to
put on white.
It would have been better for you to first of all find out whether or not
you belong to the group destined to put on white. You should think
first of the consequences of putting on the white, whether it would
encourage you or prevent you to function according to the purpose for
which you were created.
The first man (Adam) was of the earth, that is why all those who are
from his stock delight in earthly things. They center their thoughts,
words and deeds on the earthly things: Thus, the second man comes
from God. He strongly delights in heavenly things and the growth of
the kingdom of God. He does everything to portray the kingdom of God.
(Read 1st Corinthians 15:47-48).
Note that it was not the heavenly man that first came but the earthly.
A local adage has it that, to expect a good yield, the god of the soil
should be appeased before planting. This in effect shows that, had the
earthly man has not come to clear the way and put things right on
earth, the heavenly man would not have been able to come to set your
minds at rest. I know that you are confused as a result of events in the
world today. You have been told very many things that you are now
between and betwixt. It is not right to say that your fore fathers used
to do this and that, as such you want to follow the same steps. You
86
.
should avoid it. There is time for everything. After that time, they are
not expected to do anything earthly anymore. There is a time
specifically set aside for the heavenly people to assume glory. For this
reason, it is clearly stated in the scripture that, that which is born of
the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the spirit is spirit. (John
3:6). And you have now been made to know that it is the people of the
world that marry and are given in marriage and that God created man
and woman, and that for this cause shall a man leave his father and
mother to join with his wife and they shall be one flesh. Wherefore
they are no more two, but one flesh. And that, what God had joined
together, let no man put asunder. (Read the first and the second
lessons). For your information and that of the world, note that though
God created male and female, the same God abides in both. That is
why when the two of them are joined together they become one flesh.
And being that God is the unifying force between the two no man is
therefore authorized to put that union asunder.
87
individual homes. Even the scripture declares that a house divided
against itself cannot stand (Read Matthew 12:25). How can you stand
when you now become half after being separated from the whole?
There is no way you can effectively function in isolation after God has
joined you together. Your problem starts the moment you start to
abandon your wife or husband for any illicit affairs. It has always been
one man to one woman (one wife to one husband) and it must be so till
eternity. Any deviation from this principle leads to problems and untold
suffering. And the golden text has made it clear thus:
I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they
abide even as I. But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is
better to marry than to burn. And unto the married I command, yet not
I, But the Lord, let not the wife depart from her husband:
But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her
husband: and let not the husband put away his wife. (1st Corinthians
7:8-11).
Any deviation from this condition means that you are on the wrong
path. As I have stated this to you, you must make it known to the
world. You will realize that this condition is in conformity with God's
command that what God has joined together, no man should put
asunder.
I want to warn that God has not permitted anybody to marry two. If
anybody argues this fact, tell him to support his argument with the
scriptures. The truth is that if more than two persons are involved, it is
no more possible to make them one but two. You will recall that when
Adam needed a help, God did not create Eve separately. Rather He
created Eve out of the rib of Adam. (See Genesis 2:21-23). The creation
of Eve did not make them two but the same flesh. Therefore, it is a
must that he that has decided to marry, should not marry more than
one woman or man. It is an indisputable fact that no woman can stay
alone without a man, and in the same vein the man cannot be
complete without the woman. Neither a woman nor the man can
88
.
progress in isolation. They need the support of the other. Except the
woman has no dealings with any man, then God will come into her life
and thus become her husband. If a man on the other hand stays
without amorous intimacy with any woman God will step into his life
and assume absolute control of all his affairs. After all, Christ is the
overall husbandman for mankind.
The fact that we are stubborn, arrogant, absent minded and without
any regard for the injunctions of God made us to derail from the path
of God. This accounts for our suffering in the world today. These are
the laid down principles that man should have followed right from
creation. Today, we have violated these rules and do not allow God to
have His ways in our lives. That is why we are in danger presently.
All the same, those to be counted worthy to inherit the new world
would neither marry nor be given in marriage because Christ is the
husbandman to them. Those who come from heaven are forbidden to
marry or be given in marriage. This group has no problem whatsoever
with marriage.
If you come from heaven and because you do not know yourself then
you get involved in marriage, it means you are inviting problems to
yourself. This is because Christ is your husband man. He is in control
of all your endeavors. You therefore have no reason whatsoever to go
into any other marriage relationship. A lot of people have fallen
because they have refused to live according to God's original plans for
them at creation. They instead, crave for material things of this world.
Many of those who are heavenly have abandoned their rightful
positions and have embraced the marriage institution claiming that is
89
a necessity that one should marry or be given in marriage. If I may ask,
have you actually searched yourself to be convinced that you were
destined to marry or be given in marriage? Note that the moment you
deviate from the guiding principle of where you actually belong, you
have invited the angel of death to yourself.
Those who are heavenly are set aside as instruments or full time
laborers in the vineyard of God. They are all maids in the altar of the
Almighty Father. On the contrary, the earthly persons are kept to take
care of the things of this world. A combination of both reveal the glory
of the Most High God. Let it be known that you commit a serious
offence when you discriminate against the earthly people simply
because you are heavenly. We are one in the Lord. There is no division
among the creations of God. The point however is that all are given
different and specific assignments. Unfortunately, the world, the
churches, people and organization lack the knowledge of this
principle; hence, they continue to suffer. God does not make mistakes.
He has ordained that both the heavenly and the earthly beings should
work together for the general good of mankind. The heavenly beings
play a protective role to the earthly, while the earthly being cater for
the material needs of the heavenly ones. Thus making for peaceful
coexistence and smooth sailing of life generally.
Enoch was taken up alive not because he was more righteous than
everyone else on earth. It was rather to illustrate to us that there is a
place in heaven, indeed a place of joy for the faithful of God to stay.
Elijah was also taken up alive to heaven like Enoch. Our Lord Jesus
Christ also ascended to heaven alive. Today, men are researching into
the possibility of creating a home in the space but they do not know
that the way of God is mysterious. The more you look, the less you see
and the more you study Him, the less you understand Him. Again,
people used to argue on the possibility of an untouched virgin being
pregnant and subsequently giving birth to a living baby.
90
.
RE-INCARNATION OF SPIRIT
In essence, nobody dies, man only regenerates. When you say that
someone is dead, that is when he is born. At times those from heaven
are transformed into this physical earth plane to undertake a specific
assignment here on earth. Without this, it would be very difficult to
accomplish such assignments. Take the case of our Lord Jesus Christ
for instance, if He did not come in human form, how would He have
accomplished His assignment of shedding blood for the remission of
the sins of mankind. None would have believed Him to be the Son of
God even up till this present day. And, so it should not surprise you
that some heavenly people do come here and to be born of women
wearing the same flesh as you. These are not ordinary human beings
like you but Spirits.
91
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE EARTHLY AND HEAVENLY:
The Christ Student's Natural Choir has a song which says that, that
which is from the earth shall return to the earth and that which is from
heaven shall return to heaven. This is nominated in 1 Corinthians 15.
He who is from earth will return to the earth and this is why so many
people reincarnate several times. Most of you have reincarnated three
to four times. If you should give somebody a mark on the fore-head
with a matchet, you will realize that, when the person reincarnates,
the mark on his fore-head will still be there.
Those who are from heaven are not human beings. They are merely
coming with the human flesh; they are gods. They come to rule. The
stars you find in the sky are all human beings. When you find a star
moving from one place to the other, you should know that somebody
has been transferred to somewhere else spiritually and so, the one will
be said to be dead. When you find a very bright star shining where a
child is born, it signifies the birth of a very powerful and responsible
child. The moon is the mother, the sun is the father, while the stars
are the children.
You could recall how Joseph had a dream about how twelve bunches
of fire-wood bowed down for his own bunch of wood and when he told
his brethren, they interpreted it to mean that they were going to bow
down for him. Another time, he had a dream about how the sun, moon
and eleven stars bowed down for one star. When he told his parents
and brethren, they were jealous because they said he meant that his
92
.
father, mother and eleven brothers will bow down for him it is said that
what is bound in heaven is bound on earth.
93
You have heard that in Israel, women who were caught in adultery
were always slain or stoned to death. But this system of putting an
end to evil acts did not work. All that the people did proved abortive.
Such a time had passed. This is the reign of the heavenly beings and
those who are counted worthy neither marry nor are given in marriage
because it is only righteousness that abound in the new heaven and
earth. You have been told that a woman who is married only focuses
her mind and thought on the husband, children and other carnal things.
The activities of man now on earth elicits tears. No man thinks of God
at all. Man is only interested in carnal things. Christ said "it is
finished." By now, everyone is supposed to be in peace and harmony
with everybody but marriage is a great hindrance. And then Christ said
that He came not for peace but to set fire into all facets of life. Have
you not seen now that the world is burning? He has come to reign in
glory. The children of God are descending in a big way. They shall be
born of women and in a short while, you will see what I am talking
about.
Christ is the husbandman, while the male and female become one
flesh and as one, Christ will then assume His glory. Those who have
blessed their marriage are of advantage. The reason why you cannot
have good children is because they are of flesh and blood. But when
you allow the Holy Spirit to do His work, heavenly children will be
given to you. You could know the father of a child when a woman is
married to a man but you can never tell the father of a child when the
mother is not married. A man could stay with his wife for ten years
94
.
without having any child but a woman can stay without having any
intimacy with a man and she is found with a child, and nobody would
know the child except the Father.
God used Elizabeth to set a good example. God kept her till after her
menopause before she could conceive and bear a child, when all
hopes had gone. Now people cannot have good children because of
fornication and adultery. John the Baptist, Isaac and a lot of others
were born as Holy children. In a little while, you shall see how children
will be born in a very mysterious way.
If Joseph were not to be the husband of Mary, she would have been
killed. This wisdom is a divine mystery but I will continue to reveal it
to you. Read the first lesson below:
FIRST LESSON: LUKE 20:34-35
"And Jesus answering said unto them the children of this world marry,
and are given in marriage: but they which shall be accounted worthy
to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry,
nor are given in marriage:"
Heaven and earth will pass away but the word of God shall never. You
can see that everything in this kingdom starts from zero. In a very
short while, the children of God shall come and those to be married
shall be separated from those who are not to marry. These are the
ones who shall be full time workers in the vineyard of God.
95
The Catholics tried but could not succeed. Those who call themselves
Reverend fathers and sisters marry each other. Even those who were
called nuns could not fulfill their vow which is to show you that,
nothing can happen when it is not the fullness of time. This is the time
for the children of God to reign with their Father.
Those who are earthly get married and the heavenly people do not
marry. You should know that those who were not destined to be
vegetarians can never practice it. You should not force a child to
accept to remain a virgin because a child who was not destined to
remain a virgin cannot be one.
This is time for God to separate the sheep from the goats. All the
outcast and rebels shall find their levels. It is only the children of God
who will remain in their Father's Kingdom.
Those who are reported as being dead in the world are the worldly
people. It is the fornicators, prostitutes and vagabonds who are faced
with one problem or the other. But the real children of God in this
kingdom cannot have any problem.
Christ spoke through Paul that He is desirous that everybody should be
like him but that we receive different gifts from God. We all have
different gifts from God. There are some people who should marry and
there are others who should not. There are those who eat meat and
fish while some are vegetarians. Now, those who are from above and
have come to serve God are regarded as stupid people. In fact, they
are not regarded as anything in the society. Some of them are forced
to do what they would not like to do and if they eventually go the
wrong way, death, sickness and sorrow visit them. Some of them are
taken to the necromancers place and they die there. This is a proof
that they are not earthly.
Anybody who comes from heaven can never tell lies and if he does, he
will be in trouble. It is no crime for a single man to move with a single
woman without committing fornication because when people see a
single girl walking alone, men will seriously disturb her. You can now
96
.
see why, when the Apostles embarked on evangelical work, they went
with the sisters so that other women will be scared.
I have not come to judge the men today but if I should do, you will
realize that women are better than the men. The women know that
they are not supposed to be intimate with any man but they are always
afraid that if they should remain that way, they would be sickly and if
people should know of it all calibers of men will ask for their hands in
marriage.
Right from time, the woman had always been married to only one man
but men were known to be marrying more than ten wives, Solomon had
seven hundred wives, and three hundred concubines. This is what
other men do. You can never find the men in the house. They get
married to women here and there. Read the second lesson again.
"And he answered and said unto them, have ye not read, that he which
made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, for
this cause shall a man leave Father and Mother, and shall cleave to his
wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more
twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not
man put asunder.
97
The above excerpt reveals the laid down condition. It is erroneous to
say that there are very many women. There is only one woman for one
man and a man is expected to get married to only one woman till
eternity. When Eve conceived, she gave birth to a pair of twins which
were Cain and girl and the second set of twins was Abel and another
girl. If they were to be single, they would have no sisters. The lesson
you should derive from here is that, when the two come together, they
become one flesh while Christ becomes their head. Now, when you
become one flesh with a woman and you later send her away, you will
be faced with problems. That woman whom you divorce will commit
adultery if she should go to another man, and you will also commit
adultery if you should get married to another woman.
Let me reveal this to you. Neither a woman nor a man can procreate
an offspring. It is the man that makes the womb of the woman fruitful.
That is why it is imperative that, man and woman have to be joined
together. And if, for instance, a man has five sperm souls while the
woman has two ova and the two of them are joined together, after the
two ova must have been fertilized by the man, both of them can no
longer procreate and the man's destiny is therefore hindered. In this
case, there is bound to be problem in such a family.
98
.
99
her menstrual flow. And after the first one week, the woman's womb is
no longer productive. Any intimacy with her husband after this period
is strictly for carnal comfort and fun. So, beloved, there are so many
things which no other person can impart to you except the Father
Himself. That is why, if you should imbibe all teachings I impart to you,
you would know how to execute your everyday plans, and thereby be
free from problems. Read our golden text again.
"I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, it is good for them if
they abide even as I, But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it
is better to marry than to burn. And unto the married I command, yet
not I, but the Lord, let not the wife depart from her husband: But and if
she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband:
and let not the husband put away his wife."
Do you now see that issues pertaining to men and women are very
delicate? Should you want to live a carefree and peaceful life
throughout your life time, all you need do is to abide by the above
injunction. Sequel to the text above, any widow, who is capable of
withstanding the lust for men, should stay single till her last days on
earth. But any widow, who is unable to withstand such lust, is free to
marry another husband instead of jumping from one man to another
because of her lust and affection for men. Take for instance what
prophetess Hannah did, she remained unmarried for eighty four years
after her husband's death serving God. A similar feat is expected from
all unmarried women. For the married women, on no account should
they divorce their husbands. Should they do, they have to stay
unmarried till doomsday. Such women (those who divorce their
husbands), have no right to chase men all over because of the lust in
them. If such women develop in them the lust of being with a man
again, they have to go back to their former husbands and marry again.
God does not make provision for the procurement of divorce
100
.
It is said: meats for the belly, and the belly for meats; but God shall
destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for
the Lord; and the Lord for the body. (1st Corinthians 6:13).
Beloved, the act of sexual intimacy between husband and wife should
be minimized and done sparingly for the body is for God and not for
immorality. The bible has also enjoined us thus: The wife hath not
power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the
husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife. (1st Corinthians
7:4).
101
The husband and his wife should be at peace at all times. There should
be no misunderstanding between them. In order for them to satisfy
their lust and affection, they should meet for a while and there after
they should fast and beg God for forgiveness. And should they fail to
fast and beg God for forgiveness after to such affair, God would depart
from them and the evil spirit is bound to take control of them. Have
you now understood that, should you fail to fast each time you commit
immorality you have defiled yourself which is God's abode. And by so
doing you are perished for the Holy Spirit has deserted you completely.
This is why you have to fast after every meeting with your wife for the
sake of purifying yourselves. Whoever fails to fast as instructed has to
put himself into prayer.
Some married men erroneously profess that, they are free from
fornication forgetting that, they can equally commit fornication with
their wives. Do you not know that, your meeting with your wife at all
times constitutes fornication?
I am highlighting this fact in order that it may be well with the whole
world because all our problems could be traced to this very vice.
Husbands and wives should meet very sparingly and not frequently.
And this should be accompanied with immediate fasting and prayer for
the forgiveness of such an act. In fact, it is advisable for couples to
meet once or twice a year and such a meeting should be accompanied
with prayer, fasting and confession of sin in order to sanctify God's
place of abode again. The act of couples meeting frequently could be
likened to one being over fed with food which leads to constipation.
Besides this, such couples are likely to attract the wrath of God to
themselves. Furthermore, since God as the bridegroom has come,
none has the right to meet with any woman. Should anyone involve in
such acts he and the woman should fast, confess, so that the house of
God may be once again sanctified for Him as the bridegroom to dwell
in.
102
.
Man is the head of a woman, Christ is the head of a man and God is the
head of Christ. Now, the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost are here
present on earth, but you still expect Christ to come down from the
sky. Which Christ do you think you are expecting from the sky? Do you
not hear that, JESUS CHRIST HAS BEEN APPOINTED THE
BRIDEGROOM OF THE UNIVERSE? SO, TILL DOOMSDAY, A
FORNICATOR AND ADULTERER CANNOT SEE AND ENJOY THE GLORY
OF THIS KINGDOM FOR SUCH PEOPLE ARE IN HELL. WHILE THOSE
WHO NEITHER MARRY NOR ARE GIVEN IN MARRIAGE AS CONTAINED
IN OUR FIRST LESSON WOULD INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD. THIS
GOSPEL IS NOT MEANT FOR ALL TO IMBIBE AND PRACTICE FOR IT IS
MEANT FOR SPECIFIC PEOPLE. ON THE OTHER HAND, THOSE WHO
WERE MEANT TO PERISH WOULD IMBIBE THE TEACHING AND
STILLGO ON TO EMBRACE POLYGAMY AND IMMORALITY. THE
PEOPLE WHO FALL INTO THIS GROUP HAVE NO ALTERNATIVE, FOR
THEY ARE THE VICTIMS OF CIRCUMSTANCE, FOLLOWING THE FOOT
PATH OF THEIR FOREFATHERS. THOSE OF THE WORLD MARRY AND
ARE GIVEN IN MARRIAGE WHILE THOSE WHO ARE OF THE KINGDOM
OF GOD NEITHER MARRY NOR ARE GIVEN IN MARRIAGE. THOSE IN
THE LATTER GROUP HAVE NO BUSINESS WITH CARNAL THINGS OF
THIS WORLD RATHER, THEY EMBRACE ONLY THE VIRTUES OF GOD.
Let those who have ears to hear. May the Lord bless His words. Amen

WOMEN CAN GIVE BIRTH WITHOUT
MEN
FIRST BIBLE LESSON: 1 CORINTHIANS 6: 13
"Meats for the belly and belly for meats: but God shall destroy
both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord;
and the Lord for the body. And God hath both raised up the Lord and
will also raise up us by his own power."

.
been the lot of man to resist the will of God. And all the punishments
that beset man arise from the fact that he resists the will of God.
The Bible has said that whoever enters the crooked way, the
Lord allows him to plunge more into iniquities. This is because God
who rules that no one should resist an evil doer cannot resist evil
doers. He created man, and other things on earth. How then can God
resist what He created?
God is not pleased that we should be sick and suffer. Rather it is
your lusting and craving for mundane things that is responsible for
your present state.
105
Spirit and to do whatever He says we should do and refrain from
whatever He advises against. Any time you obey the Spirit of God, you
absolve yourself from problems. For as many as walk in the spirit of
God shall have no problems and they are the children of God.(Romans
8:14).
GOD IS UNIVERSAL
There is no point in time when the Spirit had not existed,
because the Spirit is God. The Spirit is the Father, He is the Teacher,
He is the bridegroom, the Power, the Peace prevailing in the world and
everything in existence. Without the Spirit, nothing exists.
Realize now that God did not create the body to be defiled
through fornication, but that He made it for the Spirit.(1 Cor 6:18-19).
You will remember that when He created Adam from the clay of the
earth, He breathed into Adam the spirit of life. That was what made
Adam a living soul.(Gen 2:7). The carnal body we see is nothing else
but a mud house. What type of a house? A mud house. Who dwells in
this building? It is the Spirit which is God. That is the reason you are
called the (Church) house of God.
Have the people who continue to question how the earth would
be replenished heard this? Have you heard what has been read to you?
Would you like to say then that God created the body to be defiled? Or
did He create the body for the spirit or for the flesh? Know that God
did not create the body for fornication but for the Spirit to rule over.
Do you now know the kind of question you should ask, and which
Adam and Eve should have asked? You are confused, for it is said that
those who shall be accounted worthy to inherit the Kingdom of God
neither marry nor are given in marriage. If so, how will the earth be
replenished with human kind? The Virgin Mary did ask the same
question and was answered immediately. She asked how things would
be as she knew not a man, when the angel informed her that she
would bring forth a male child. Mary knew not a man and that was
why she asked how would those things be. This is the lesson,
Brethren. The first lesson says that God did not make the body for
fornication, but for the Lord, the Holy Spirit.
106
.
The Holy Spirit is the bridegroom that was meant to descend and
get into a woman. If Adam and Eve or any other person had known
this and surrendered themselves to the Almighty God, then, the world
would have been in perfect harmony and the world would have been
inhabited by the Spirit of God.
GOD IS UNPREDICTABLE
GOD CAN NEVER DISCLOSE HIS PLANS TO MAN. That would be
childish. It is like one going to meet a pretty young girl whom one
would love to marry. Since this person would not want any other
person to know his intentions, he approaches the girl's parents and
asks for their daughter as a housemaid so that she would understudy
him. The sons and servants of this man would not know that their
father and master wants to marry that girl. Incidentally, the sons and
servant of this man develop amorous interest in the girl out of
ignorance of the man's intentions. Unfortunately, for the girl, since the
107
man did not declare his stand, she reciprocated the moves by the
boys. The man had no option, for he neither informed his sons nor
servants of his plans regarding the girl except that he could brand
them bad boys. More so, the girl had to lose her position.
Incidentally, if one of the man's sons impregnated the girl, that
man would still pretend not to know. This is because he never
expected anybody to pre-empt what went on in his mind. This is how
God is. Most people must have thought that the man brought the girl
to his sons; and the sons, on seeing the girl, must have thanked God
for enabling their father to bring the girl to them.
BRETHREN, MAN CAN NEVER KNOW THE WILL AND PLAN OF
GOD TILL ETERNITY. Whatever is recognized as good is not regarded
as such by God. But blessed are those who would listen and adhere to
His
instructions. So it was in the time of Adam and Eve. The original plan
of God was that the Holy Spirit should overshadow Eve. But God did
not disclose this plan to Adam. He had commissioned man to go forth
and multiply and replenish the earth, without revealing His Modus
Operandi. Can you now discover God's plan when He said, "Go ye into
the world, be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth." (Gen 1:28).
Were you the one who advised Him? Why is man so ignorant and full of
himself? But since nothing is impossible to God, men can do nothing.
At the fullness of time, He came to the earth to make perfect that
which was not perfect.
108
.
the pudding no more in the eating? How many people used to ask if
Adam and Eve did not ask God for forgiveness when they offended
Him. I am telling you they did and that with all their mind. It was not
just time for God to be graceful to them. The only promise He made
was that at the fullness of time, He will come. That His coming would
be identified with the presentation of frankincense, gold and myrrh.
He also said that the sword shall pierce the side of the one, and He
would be crucified on the Cross. That will mark the coming of the One
who shall put things in their proper shape.
Man's disobedience separated him from God. He was kept at an
arm's length from God during which time he had to suffer and
encounter all sorts of problems. However, it was not God's original
intention that man should suffer. This explains why He came in human
form and His real mission is what is being told you now. I AM NOT
COME TO RAISE THE DEAD, TO MAKE THE LAME WALK, THE DUMB TO
SPEAK OR TO CAUSE INTO BEING RAIN AND SUN AND SUCH LIKE
THINGS. THESE ARE NOT THE ORIGINAL MISSION OF THE FATHER IN
THE WORLD.
Our Lord Jesus Christ did make a statement that He was going to
prepare a place after which He shall come back and receive us unto
Himself, so that wherever He would be we should be there also.
Where is He now? Go and ask the Popes, bishops and all the church
dignitaries where the Lord is now? Have you not heard His statement
that He was in the Father and the Father in Him? He is one with the
Father. He has come to gather you and to reconcile you unto God so
that you will remain in the Father and the Father in you, one flock
under one shepherd.
109
PRAY NOT FOR VAIN THINGS
Brethren, do not waste your time to thank God for giving you
children, money, knowledge, and all sorts of things. These are not the
things you are meant to seek after on earth. You were meant to come
so you could return to the Garden of Eden.
If you read in Genesis 3:22 and Revelation 22:2, you will see
where mention is made of The Tree of Life. You will then realize the
sacrosanctity of the will of God. That was the original and perfect will
of God. The leaf of this tree was said to be used in healing the
nations.(Rev 22:2).
Nothing that is defiled will be allowed to enter into the kingdom.
That is why it is said that those accounted worthy to inherit the new
world, shall neither marry nor be given in marriage.(Luke 20:35). Cease
therefore to ask the question again of how the earth will be
replenished of human kind if people do not engage in marriage. The
answer has already been given to you: the Holy Spirit will come upon
you and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Have you
not seen that tree of life now? When your eyes will be opened you will
realize that all human beings including Adam and Eve and the other
patriarchs are in hell. The world is sick and bereft of all goodness.
That was the reason Christ shed tears when He came around.
People were marrying and being given in marriage and they were
doing all sorts of things because they did not realize what was in the
world. To give us that assurance, God promised to prepare a place for
His children and to send unto them a Comforter. Otherwise what
would I have used to demonstrate what I am telling you now? I have to
draw examples from the past and illustrate everything to you. This is
the original will of God and His promise to man. This explains why Our
Lord Jesus Christ is unequalled in His achievements. Abraham and
the rest of the Apostles did not practice the word of God. None of
them knew Him because they manifested from the flesh.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh.(John 3:6). Whoever is
conceived and born of spirit is always holy and righteous. If the Holy
Spirit comes upon you, whatever will be born of you will be the holy
child of God. That was why when Paul went to Athens and he saw
many temples dedicated to various gods and when he came to the one
110
.
dedicated to the unknown god (Acts 17:23-31), he told the people that
he had come to preach that God to them. He started telling them that
they should not think that God was made of gold, silver or stone or
water. He told them all the requirements of God and that in Him shall
they live, move and have life and peace.
111
the angel that kind of question and you heard exactly what happened
to him.(Luke 1:18-20).
Ponder over these two persons, Elizabeth and Zachariah. You
see that the two of them were old and well stricken in age. They were
both above child bearing age. And so they thought it was impossible
for them to have a son. But God knows no impossibility and would
always exercise His sovereign nature over man.
It is said that God did not create this body for fornication but for
the Holy Spirit to overshadow you and for you to conceive a holy child
of God who will be without sin or sickness or any other human
limitation. Why you cannot see God, why you cannot hear the word of
God, why you cannot speak the word of God, and why you cannot
practice the word of God is that you were born in flesh and for that
reason, it will be impossible for you to know God. This promise is not
limited to any group. It is for you, your children and your children's
children, and to all those that are afar off. He said he who comes from
heaven is the greatest. He who comes from the earth, hears of the
earth, speaks of the earth, (1 Cor 15:47-49), and does things of the
earth, but he who comes from above, speaks of the things above, what
he sees and what he hears. And those who believe his testimony will
realize that he came from God. He who comes from above speaks the
word of God for God does not give the Spirit unto him in measure.(John
3:34).
112
.
your houses again. You are always coming here and yet it has not
started.
When God created man, He did not create Him to come and
suffer. You are equal with God. Adam was not created as a
messenger or as a beggar. It was the angels, because all angels are
ministering spirits.
Angels are all ministering spirits. The rain, thunder, trees, heat
are also ministering spirits. But you humans are one with God
because you were created in the image and likeness of God. Now you
have two questions in mind. The first is, now that the Leader says
people should not marry, how will they replenish the earth? The
second question is, if man neither farms nor works in the government
office or do his personal business, what will man eat?
113
When Adam and Eve were in the Garden with the animals, did
they have a farm? Did they sow? Did they engage themselves in any
commercial activities? Were they ever hungry? Were they ever thirsty?
Were they sick? Was there any division? That was the kingdom of God,
where nothing came between them and God. That was why He made
His will between Himself and man. If man had remained in that
position God made for him, no man would have hungered, no person
would be sick, and no person would die.
Tell me when you are no more hungry or sick or dying, what will
you have to do with money? What have you to do with food and
government work? If you are not scorched by the sun what do you
need an umbrella for? You are asked in Revelations 7:13: " Who are
these which are arrayed in white robes?" John said,"Thou knowest "
and the angel said, "These are they which came out of great
tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the
Blood of the Lamb. Therefore are they before the throne of God, and
serve Him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the
throne shall dwell among them. They shall hunger no more, neither
thirst anymore; neither shall the sun light on them nor any heat. For
the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall
lead them unto fountains of living water; and God shall wipe away all
tears from their eyes." (Rev 7:14-17). That is the answer to your
question: "If I do not work, how will I eat?"
As many as are before the Almighty God, serving Him day and
night, do not need to go to the farm to plant; they do not need to go to
the market to sell and buy, they do not need to work in the offices.
They remain in the throne of God and God will cover them with His
wings. They remain before the Almighty God day and night. They are
not sick. They are not scorched by the heat. The rain will not fall on
them. They are not hungry. Of what use is food to them? Of what use
are those things, that you think of, to them? That was exactly the
situation when Adam and Eve did not transgress in the Garden of
Eden. There was neither hunger nor sickness. There was no division,
quarreling or deaths. They had no problems whatsoever. But since
they fell from the expectation of God, you heard what God said. He
cursed them, "And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou
114
.
hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast
of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shall thou eat all the
days of thy life; And I will put enmity between thee and the man, he
shall bruise thy head and thou shall bruise his heel." (Genesis 3:14-15).
Hitherto the serpent was walking erect like any other animal. It was
because of this curse that all serpents (pythons, cobra, rattle snakes)
walk on their belly. Unto the woman He said, "I will greatly multiply
thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth
children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over
thee."And unto Adam He said, "Because thou hast harkened unto the
voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree of which I commanded
thee, saying thou shalt not eat of it, cursed be the ground for thy sake,
in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life, thorns and thistles
shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field. In
the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the
ground; for out of it was thou taken: for dust thou art and unto dust
shalt thou return." (Genesis 3:16-19).
115
endeavors to make money but poverty is still their collective
experience.
Listen to this question: if you spend all your time looking for what
to eat, tell me when you will begin to serve God? There is none,
because you are all looking for your own food. In the same token,
Adam and Eve were bundled out of the garden of Eden because they
were preoccupied with the search for food instead of serving God.
God again displayed His power and glory with the children of
Israel. The number of able-bodied men who came out of Egypt was
600,000, excluding women and children who in every population
outnumber the rest. But throughout their forty years in the desert,
they did not cultivate the land nor engage in commercial activities.
They did not steal nor do anything but they ate everyday and they
were satisfied. Who was responsible for this?
Think about this: every morning manna will fall from heaven
around the whole camp and they will gather the manna and eat and
they were all satisfied. The next day manna will fall for them again to
eat to their satisfaction. And that is the prayer Our Lord Jesus Christ
taught His disciples: "Give us this day our daily bread." (Matt 6:11).
Before you come into this earth plane God has provided everything for
you and even for the grass, the animals and every other creation. Did
you have this knowledge before?
You also remember when Satan confronted Our Lord Jesus Christ
and told him ,"If you are the son of God command these stones to
become bread." What was the Lord's reply? He told him," It was
written, man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that
proceeds from the mouth of God."(Matt 4:4/Luke 4:4).
CAN YOU NOW REALIZE THAT THE BREAD WHICH CAME DOWN
FROM HEAVEN IS THE WORD PROCEEDING FROM THE MOUTH OF
GOD; AND NOW OUR FOOD CONSISTS OF THE WORD PROCEEDING
FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD?
116
.
"Then said Mary unto the angel, how shall this be, seeing I know
not a man? And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost
shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow
thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be
called the Son of God."
Brethren, have you heard that statement? All those who continue
to ask the question, now that I do not marry a husband how will this
thing be? That is the answer The Holy Spirit has provided for you. The
Holy Spirit shall come upon you.
If any person asks you, "Now that Brotherhood requires virgins
and that people should not marry nor should they be given in marriage,
how will people continue to multiply? Open that place and show them -
That the Holy Ghost shall come upon them. That was the original plan
of God with man. That was what He told Adam. Eat of all the fruits of
the trees in the Garden except this one. If they had complied with that
injunction and received the teachings of God, at the fullness of time,
that plan would have manifested and all the counterfeit people you
find in the world would not have been there.
You complain that the children are very bad. Why not? As the
father, you are a fornicator, a thief, a murderer and a drunkard. It is
with this blood that you form these children. A thief will give birth to a
thief. A murderer will give birth to a murderer. That is the present
situation. That is why the Bible has told us that whoever commits sin
is of the devil because the devil sinned from the beginning. For this
reason did the Son of God appear that he may destroy the works of the
devil.(1 John 3:8-9). He that practices righteousness is righteous even
as he is righteous.
117
(1 John 3:7). Whoever abides in him does not sin because God does not
sin; for his seed remains in him; and he cannot sin. All the virtues of
God - his love, patience, truth, are found in him. WHY YOU ARE A
TRUE BROTHERHOOD IS THAT EVERY WRONG SHOULD END WITH
YOU. YOU ARE TO PUT AN END TO THE VICIOUS CYCLE OF SIN SO
THAT THE CHILDREN WE HAVE WILL BE PERFECT CHILDREN.
IF WE REFRAIN NOW FROM COMMITTING ALL SORTS OF SINS,
THEN OUR CHILDREN'S CHILDREN WILL BE PURE AND TRUE
CHILDREN OF GOD AND VESSELS OF HONOR WORTHY OF USE.
There are many women who do not give birth to children again.
Some have never had a child. It is not that they are being bewitched
or troubled by mermaid. God has so kept them because he wants to
use them. The Holy Spirit will overshadow them and they will bring
forth the real children of God. And so, those who have never put to
birth should not disturb themselves. The Holy Spirit wants them to be
pure so that at God's appointed time, the Holy Spirit will come upon
them and they shall put to birth the perfect children of God.
Those who are virgins and have never been intimate with men
and women, God has created them like that so that at the fullness of
time the Holy Spirit will overshadow them and such children that will
be born to them shall be called the Holy Children of God. Your problem
is that many of you do not believe what I am telling you. You say that
a mermaid is troubling you. You inject black poison into your body.
You do all that you can to have a child because you do not believe the
word of God. That is not all. You see men running from pillar to post;
women jumping around with every man. When you behave this way,
what do you want the Holy Spirit to overshadow?
Fortunately for all of us, the long expected promise is at hand.
Do you not see how fortunate we are? Realize that when the time for
anything is not up such a thing cannot happen. This is the fullness of
time and the Holy Spirit has come. AND IT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO
IS THE BRIDEGROOM. THERE IS NO OTHER HUSBAND. That is why
you are told to maintain your purity because the Holy Spirit is soon to
overshadow you and the real children of God will be revealed.
It is high time you surrendered yourself unto the hands of God
and moved back to the Garden of Eden. A great many women when
118
.
they are conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and their husbands
go to be intimate with them, they experience miscarriage.
119
eating church. That is true because we are going back to the garden
of Eden: WE DO NOT EAT ANY MEAT OR FISH OR ANY FLESH.
120
.
121
God has abandoned the earth. This is not true. He still has a strong
hold on it.
Of all God's creations, man is the first because he has always
been one with God. DO NOT COMPARE ANY ANGEL WITH YOURSELF.
DO NOT COMPARE ANY ANIMAL WITH YOURSELF. DO NOT COMPARE
ANY CREATED THING WITH YOURSELF BECAUSE YOU ARE THE
IMAGE OF GOD. Wherever you go to you will meet man. It is man that
rules the earth. He rules the water, he rules the air. You have heard of
the fall of Adam and Eve. Now, who substituted for them? Because
when you remove any person from a position of trust, you have to
replace him with another person. In this case, where was another
person to replace them?
The position is that since man was created to be at the head, he
must continue to be at the head to rule all creations. It is therefore
expedient that we listen to instructions and comply ourselves to the
instructions of God. We must forsake fornication, lying, and anger. We
must remain virgins and surrender ourselves completely to God. That
is all. Do not ask questions. Let us follow Him as fools. Let us follow
Him as little children. Because the kingdoms of this world have
become the kingdom of Jehovah God and His Christ. And He shall rule
forever and ever.
122
.
Our Lord Jesus Christ was the Son of God but James and the rest
of his brothers were the children of Joseph.(Matt 13:55-56) The
children which you had at the time you did not believe are your
children, but from the day you believe they are the children of God.
123
the Bible. All those who are born of the flesh are bastards. They are
not the children of God. Some people make a mistake when they say
that a certain person develops himself. No person develops himself.
Some are born of the spirit and so right from when they are born the
Holy Spirit takes dominion over them right from the hair to the feet.
Those who are born of the flesh initiate into many secret societies but
they do not change a bit. If they attend any church denomination, they
do not listen to the word of God; they do not even see God. We have a
cause to be joyful to God for what we witness today. Our Lord Jesus
had announced on the cross, "IT IS FINISHED," (John 19:30), bringing
an end to the work of the flesh.
124
.
125
AND HE WILL TELL YOU NOT TO WORRY BECAUSE HE JUST
HAPPENED TO BE GOING THAT WAY. THAT PERSON IS THE FATHER
AND THAT IS WHY HE IS CALLED A MYSTERIOUS GOD. THAT CAR IS
NOT FROM HERE. UNTIL HE DROPS YOU, YOU WILL NOT KNOW.
