ESAU: A TIME FOR REMEMBERING ESAU

If you take the IMF Loan, Nigeria will sell its Birth-right. You should realize that if Esau was not extremely hungry he would not have gone to Jacob to ask for food. Esau and Jacob were children of the same father and the same mother. ESAU WAS THE FIRST-BORN, JACOB WAS THE SECOND. ESAU WAS VERY HARD-WORKING AND A VERY DEVOTED HUNTER; AND HE WAS A VERY SINCERE WORKER. I am speaking to people who can think, and I am giving this lesson to you so that when you go back home you can cogitate on it. Do not allow history to repeat itself. Because history, will surely repeat itself if you miss this opportunity. When Esau came back he asked Jacob for food. Jacob told him that there was no food and there would be no food unless Esau was willing to trade his birth-right for food. This is the second time Jacob is making the same demand to Esau. The whites are using food to rob you of your birth-right. Unless you do one thing or the other you cannot have what you want. Esau took the proposal very lightly. But have you seen how the HOLY SPIRIT has intervened for Nigeria by rescuing her from the snare of the IMF loan lest that situation of Esau should repeat itself? If Esau had thought twice he would not have taken that proposal very lightly. He said of what use is my birthright to me when I am dying of hunger. The same thing is happening today. You say, what is there in the conditions of the IMF loan? Just sign it and let us have the money. The moment you sign it, you have resold your birthright because this is the last chance for Esau. This is the chance for Africa. Meet the challenge, Africa. Hunger does not Kill Hunger will only swell your head but it does not kill. Do not allow history to repeat itself because this is the last opportunity God has given to Esau to regain his lost position. THE WHOLE WORLD IS COVETOUS AND JEALOUS OF AFRICA, AND NIGERIA IN PARTICULAR, BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT NIGERIA IS THE CITY OF GOD, THE CITY OF JOY AND PEACE, THE CITY OF GODS CHOSEN PEOPLE, WHERE NO INCURABLE DISEASES CAN BE FOUND, AND THERE IS NO PESTILENCE OF ANY KIND APART FROM THE LITTLE MISUNDERSTANDINGS BETWEEN THE TRIBES. The whites are in great fear of them and hold them in reverence. And so this is the opportunity you are now given to regain and guard your lost position. THE WHITES ARE READY TO WRESTLE IT AGAIN FROM YOU. PLEASE DO NOT ALLOW THEM BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT THEM TO TAKE THIS GLORY FROM YOU. NOW IS THE TIME THAT ESAU SHOULD BE REMEMBERED. After Isaac had given all the blessings to Jacob, Esau came, and Isaac had nothing left for him and so he

prayed God to please remember him later on. AND THIS IS THE TIME GOD IS REMEMBERING ESAU. He would have been remembered but it would be through his sweat. And can you not observe the sufferings of the black man? Have you not observed the sufferings of Africa? BUT THIS IS THE END OF YOUR SUFFERING. The whites have known this glory more than you. They are struggling and weeping but nothing will wrestle it away from you. God has established it, and it has come to be like that throughout all ages. AND THERE WILL BE NO DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE WHITES AND THE BLACKS BECAUSE ALL OF US ARE CREATED IN THE SAME WAY BY GOD. WE ARE ALL EQUAL. THIS IS EXACTLY THE PARABLE WHICH OUR LORD GAVE ABOUT THE VINEYARD. RULERSHIP OF THE WORLD HAS NOW REVERTED TO THE BLACKS. A certain man planted a vineyard and made a hedge around it and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time. At harvest season he sent his servant to receive fruits from the vineyard. The husbandmen beat up some, stoned some and killed some. He sent another set of servants who were similarly ill-treated. Finally he sent his son thinking that when they see him, they would reverence him. But when the husbandmen saw him they said, this is the heir, come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours. And so they killed him. He then asked them when the owner of the vineyard comes what shall he do to those wicked husbandmen. They judged and condemned themselves by telling him that he will destroy those husbandmen and give the vineyard to others. There and then he told them that the Kingdom of God will be taken away from them and given to a nation that will bear good fruits.(Matt 21:33-43) THE TIDE HAS CHANGED IN FAVOR OF AFRICANS. If the whites had regarded the blacks as themselves they would have accepted the rulership of this Kingdom. If the whites had revealed all what God has shown to them unto you, and had regarded you as themselves, there would have been no problem and they would still be ruling. People are complaining why God loves the whites more than the blacks. Do you not see what is happening? THE TIDE HAS NOW CHANGED. God is taking that glory which was bestowed to them unto Himself, and has tied it to His apron strings. So Brethren, that is why I tell you that what you witness is very efficacious; and the Gospel itself brings about Salvation to all generations. We should forsake all we have, and be kind and benevolent to whoever solicits for assistance, whether he is white or black, and love all men equally, as we love ourselves. THERE ARE CERTAIN SIGNS WROUGHT WHICH HAVE STARTLED THE WHITES TO BELIEVE THAT GOD IS AMONG THE BLACKS. Let us, therefore, follow after love and, wear as an amour of God, love, truth and humility imparted to us because God has bestowed us with humility, truth and love, and no other attributes apart from love and its fruit will be employed in ruling the whole world. Love implies regarding every person in the same way. THE WHITES LOST THEIR GRIP ON THE AFRICANS BECAUSE OF THE CLASS DISTINCTION THEY INTRODUCED.

Remember that when the Whites first came to our country they invested most of their wealth here in the establishment of schools, hospitals, trading ventures and governmental establishments, and also they trained the people and laid a very strong foundation for their investments. That was why the Blacks surrendered everything to them, because they thought that the Whites did all those things in good faith. But at the end some conditions were introduced including class distinction. This explains why God has confiscated that aspect of glory from them, and it was destined to be so, since it did not originally belong to them. You should, therefore, not allow this unfortunate episode to repeat itself. If you are given an opportunity to rule any place, do not sow seeds of division, discrimination and segregation, and do not be tribalistic and clannish, discriminating between the Efiks, Ibos, Yorubas, Hausas, English, Ghanaians. I do not at all want to see any such tendency because if you do that, you have failed. THIS IS THE KINGDOM OF THE CHRIST WHERE THERE IS NEITHER WHITE NOR BLACK, NEITHER MAN NOR WOMAN. Forget about the tribalistic and clannish approach because that has always been the cause of your downfall. We should all refrain from all such discriminatory tendencies, and do things as God has instructed, and taught us. TRAVELING RESTRICTIONS WILL BE STOPPED. I have told you times without number that neither visa nor traveling passport avails much. Foreign exchange does not serve any useful purpose as long as we remain in this government of Christ where everything will be centralized. All such things are works of darkness and bad faith. For example, if you now want to travel to Britain, restrictions will be placed to prevent you from going, whereas if you went to Britain you would observe that the blacks are really numerous. If you went to United States of America, the blacks almost outnumber the whites, why then do you make distinction between the whites and the blacks and why do you place unnecessary restrictions on people? Whereas you should be accommodated wherever you go to, and you should be allowed free entry into whichever house you enter because heaven and earth, and all that is in them, belong to the Father. Why should you not call a spade a spade? The Blacks Restrict the Whites from Investing. The Whites are prepared at all times to come to Nigeria to invest their money into any aspect of development, but the Nigerians argue that they should not come because if they came, they would take their land. Where are they carrying your land to? They also complain that the whites will take away their money, but they have not considered the millions of pounds sterling the Whites invested. Even if they take the money away the millions of blacks in those countries will enjoy the money. Whether or not they carry away the money, what is the difference? When they first came to your country, did you have any kobo? Did they not bring their money to invest in your country? Did you know that it was necessary for man to wear clothes, drive in a car or fly in an airplane? They invented and manufactured all these things for us to use. Of all the discoveries, inventions and manufactured goods made, which have the blacks done?

We Enter the Kingdom by Grace not by Works of Law: Have you not heard that when Our Lord Jesus Christ made a whip and walloped out those who sold and changed money in the Temple, and said it was written that My Fathers House shall be the House of prayers, but you have changed it into a den of thieves and house of merchandise. Then the Jews said to Him, what signs have you shown to us for doing all these things. And He answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days, I will raise it up. And they said to Him, Our fathers spent good forty six years to build the temple, but you small child say you can rebuild it in three days? (John 2:18-20) They concluded that He was demented. WE DO NOT ENTER INTO THIS KINGDOM THROUGH THE WORKS OF LAW BUT BY GRACE ONLY. This is so because the Whites are very much frightened, as much frightened as the slave, who tortured a regent when he was a child, would be afraid that when the regent grows up and ascends the throne and the slave thinks his former victim would kill him. What Is African Ideology? I want to ask you Africans certain pertinent questions. Is Roman Catholicism indigenous to Africa? Is Mohammedanism indigenous to Africa? Are Hinduism and other religious beliefs and many other patterns of religion, as well as secret societies indigenous to Africa? I want you to answer, which of these took its rise from the land of Africa? Now that you want to compel people to worship in your own church denomination, is your thinking faculty functioning well? Do you know that you have not yet attained a Republican status of government? What is your ideology? What is your government which is indigenous, born and bred here in your country? If you continue with a foreign imposed government, you will always live to be slaves to the foreigners. The Headquarters of Roman Catholic Church is in Rome. Wherever the branches of the church are established, allegiance is still with the Headquarters in Rome. If, therefore, you cogitate that the Roman Catholic should rule, you have failed, this means that you will continue to remain under the tutelage of the old colonial masters. Worship God in Spirit and in Truth. If you profess to be a Moslem, Mohammedanism is indigenous to Arabia which is outside Africa, and every year in your purported pilgrimages to Mecca you siphon millions of naira from Nigeria to favor the Arabians. In the same token the Christians have started to siphon millions to Jerusalem. Is that how to be civilized? Is this the right way to conserve your foreign and domestic reserves? DOES IT MEAN THAT GOD IS ONLY IN MECCA OR JERUSALEM, AND NOT IN NIGERIA, YOUR COUNTRY? WORSHIP GOD IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH. Do you not remember the words of Our Lord Jesus Christ; That the kingdom will be taken away from you and given to a nation that will bear good fruits? This kingdom has already been taken away from the Israelites, for the Lord Jesus had said: Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills all your prophets, of a truth you will not see me again, until the time comes when you shall say, Blessed is he that comes in the Name of the Lord. (Matt 23:37-39)

Have you no ears to hear? Brotherhood is the First Indigenous African Establishment Acceptable to the Whites Why do the Blacks not love themselves? Why do they not appreciate what is indigenous to them? Why do they not praise God, and thank Him and rejoice for what He has given to them? DO YOU THINK THAT THE WHITES WILL EVER TELL YOU THAT THEY APPRECIATE BROTHERHOOD, AND THAT THEY WILL COME IN? THEY WILL NEVER SAY THAT, AS THEY ARE NEVER APPRECIATIVE OF WHAT THE BLACKS HAVE ESTABLISHED. HAVE YOU SEEN ANYTHING ESTABLISHED BY THE BLACKS AND TAKEN TO EUROPE AND AMERICA AND THE WHITES THERE ACCEPT AND APPRECIATE IT? BUT TODAY HAVE YOU NOT REALIZED HOW THE WHITES HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY ABSORBED INTO BROTHERHOOD? IS IT NOT ONE SPECTACULAR THING THAT SHOULD PROMPT BOTH THE AFRICANS, THE EUROPEANS AND THE AMERICANS TO REJOICE IN THIS KINGDOM? DOES BROTHERHOOD BELONG TO ME OR TO YOU? BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR BELONGS TO ALL THE INHABITANTS OF THE WORLD. IT IS THE GOVERNMENT WHICH COMES DOWN FROM HEAVEN WHICH WILL BE SET UP AS AN INDEPENDENT GOVERNMENT IN ALL COUNTRIES BUT IT MUST BE LOYAL TO THE BROTHERHOOD GOVERNMENT HEADQUARTERS. IF IN NIGERIA EVERY PERSON PRACTICES OUR LORD JESUS CHRISTS INJUNCTION TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER, AND THE INHABITANTS OF EACH COUNTRY, GHANA, RUSSIA, INDIA, BRITAIN, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND ALL OTHER COUNTRIES PRACTICE THE INJUNCTION, WILL THERE BE ANY PROBLEM AGAIN?

THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS COME TO REIGN

FIRST BIBLE LESSON 1ST CORINTHIANS 2:12 "Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God." SECOND BIBLE LESSON: ROMANS 8:11 "But if the spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you." GOLDEN TEXT: MATTHEW 3:16 "And Jesus, when he was baptized went straight out of the water: and lo, the heavens opened unto him and He saw the spirit of God descending like a dove and lightening upon Him." Brethren that is our lesson. When I tell you that all of you are the Christs of God, you do not seem to believe me. I have also told you that the Holy Spirit has existed from the beginning of the world. It is only the Holy Spirit who can do this work. Our Lord Jesus Christ is called Jesus the Christ because the Spirit that dwells in him is God. This is why He said, "I am in the Father and the Father is in me." This Spirit is responsible for the mighty works which were wrought by Our Lord Jesus Christ. Right from the time the Holy Spirit entered into Him, He was fortified and therefore He did not live according to the dictates of the flesh. It was for this reason that the Spirit took Him into the desert. He did not lead the Spirit into the desert; rather it was the spirit which led Him into the desert. You will observe how sickly some people become during the Easter Pentecostal. When the Holy Spirit enters into you, it disintegrates you completely, so that you have no appetite for food throughout the whole month. Many people do not realize that when the Holy Spirit enters into them that they become weak and unable to exert themselves. Out of ignorance, they go to the hospital, take tablets and injections, and for this reason they encounter problems.

Brethren, you should realize that you are the luckiest generation. The Holy Spirit has descended upon you. Who amongst you believes that the Spirit which dwelt in Our Lord Jesus Christ is the same spirit that dwells in all of you today? The spirit that gave our Lord Jesus Christ the power to preach has now descended upon all of you. When you are asked to go, for you have been healed, and you go and this statement comes to pass, it is the spirit which is at work. Without the Holy Spirit this work would be impossible. During the advent of Our Lord Jesus Christ, it was He alone who received this Holy Spirit in that generation. This is why He said except a grain of corn falls to the ground and dies it remains alone. When it dies it brings forth much fruit." In those days John the Baptist baptized many people but none of them received the Holy Spirit. From this you will realize that to have the Holy Spirit is not a small thing. None of the disciples of Our Lord Jesus received the Holy Spirit. This is the Holy Spirit that Our Lord Jesus Christ obeyed. This is why Christ said, "I can of my own self do nothing, as I hear I judge and my judgment is just; for I seek not my own will but the will of him that sent me." Our Lord Jesus Christ did nothing out of his own volition but acted as he was directed by the Holy Spirit. Anyone who has this spirit no longer owns himself and should no longer act according to his own will. Your former body has been deadened. The body which you possess to day is a new body. The body which you possess now is not the one that you had from your mother's womb. The body which you have now is the body of Our Lord Jesus Christ. That is why drugs and injections have no effect on you. You can see from our second lesson that when this Spirit which rested on Our Lord Jesus Christ rests on you, the flesh will be completely subdued. No matter how powerful you are, when this spirit rests upon you, the flesh will die completely. Brethren, you have cause to rejoice and thank God because you are the luckiest of all the generations. We are unworthy to have the Holy Spirit in our midst neither do we have a heart of appreciation. You can see how great is the love of God that He should descend to dwell in our midst. Before He come into the world He was completely free of sin. When He came into the world, He did not marry and He had nothing to do with sin. John testified about His glory. The reason that John baptized with water and taught the people to fast is so that the Holy Spirit would

rest upon them. If it were to because of our money or education none of us would be qualified to be here. Brethren if this phenomenon had taken place in America or London, they would rule the whole world. The spirit which caused Our Lord Jesus Christ to resurrect from the dead is the spirit which the whole world professes to know but still knows nothing about Him. The spirit which enabled Our Lord Jesus Christ to overcome the whole world is the spirit present in our midst. It is with this spirit that Our Lord Jesus Christ commanded His disciples to go and heal the sick and raise the dead and when they went these signs came to pass. With this spirit Our Lord Jesus Christ was able to overcome all those who conspired to destroy the Father's work. This is the spirit which we seem not to know. It is just like throwing precious jewels before pigs. The Europeans, in their search for the spirit have gone naked, refused to marry and even lived in the bush. You cannot equate the spirit with any mundane things God is supreme and great. God had said that the covenant He would make with us is not like the one He made with our forefathers, in which he abandoned them when they went astray. If the Holy Spirit has allowed us to go our own way we would have strayed and perished. GOD IS LOVE, GOODNESS, AND KINDNESS. THAT IS WHY HE HAS COME TO THE BLACK RACE HAVING SEEN THAT THE BLACKS ARE FILLED WITH EVIL AND WICKED ATTITUDES. IT IS FOR THIS REASON THAT HE HAS MADE A NEW COVENANT WITH US, AS OPPOSED TO THE FORMER ONE HE MADE WITH OUR FOREFATHERS. AT THE FULLNESS OF TIME,"I WILL CALL THEM MY PEOPLE WHICH WERE NOT MY PEOPLE AND HER MY BELOVED WHICH WAS NOT MY BELOVED." I want you to realize that this work is not done by you or by flesh and blood, but by the Holy Spirit. Many of you refer to people as teachers, doctors, lawyers and give other people glory that they can heal, raise the dead, compose songs. When we say these things we are blaspheming. There is nobody who can compose songs apart from the Holy Spirit. When you refer to someone as a good visioner, there is no visioner except the Holy Spirit. You give glory to human beings by referring to a particular person as a good charm remover. No one can extract charms except the Holy Spirit. You say that man is generous. No one has generosity apart from the Holy Spirit. You say that person is powerful. No one is powerful except the Holy Spirit. You say a person is very intelligent or knowledgeable. I am telling you that no one has wisdom. We should refrain from giving vain glory to ourselves and to other people. INSTEAD WE SHOULD GIVE ALL GLORY AND HONOR TO GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT. HE HAS NOT COME IN A SIMPLE WAY BUT IN A WAY WHICH BAFFLES WHOLE WORLD.

HE HAS NOT COME AS A STRANGER OR AS THE SON. HE HAS COME AS THE TRINITY OF GOD THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. He has not come to play but to reform the whole world. If you like you can run to the moon, the depths of the seas, you will find Him in all these places. If you like you can project to the moon. When you reach there, you will find Him there. The Holy Spirit has consumed the pride of the world. He has subdued the most stubborn of men. Just as the Holy Spirit entered into our Lord Jesus Christ and rebuilt Him to be like a stone, so also has He remolded each of us like a stone. Our vile bodies are now being raised up to resemble the glorious body of Christ. I am in sympathy with those who go to hospitals for injections and those who go to consult native doctors. There is no injection or medication which has power over you. There is no gun or any destructive weapon that has power over you. It is not you of yesterday who is sitting down here. The old things have passed away. Everything has now been made new. The world has testified that no matter how wicked a person may be, if he comes to Brotherhood of the Cross and Star even for one day, He is bound to be reformed. People always ask why it is that when a person comes to Brotherhood his behavior changes completely. You have no answer to give. When you are asked why it is that when no one can charm you or harm you when you come to Brotherhood, you find no answer to give. The majority of you have hope in the Holy Oil because you feel that all the power is concentrated there. All the ordained ones place their hopes on their girdles. That is why when anything happens they send for their girdles. THESE PEOPLE HAVE DIVERTED THEIR ATTENTION FROM THE SOURCE OF THE RIVER TO THE ITS TRIBUTARIES. BRETHREN ALL THE WORDS YOU SPEAK ARE NOTHING BUT SPIRIT. YOUR ENTIRE BODY IS SPIRIT. ALL THE CLOTHES YOU PUT ON ARE SPIRIT. EVEN THE FOOD YOU BUY AND EAT BECOME SPIRIT. ALL YOUR FOOTSTEPS ARE SPIRIT THOUGH YOU DO NOT KNOW THIS. WHEN YOU GIVE SOMEONE A HANDSHAKE THAT IS SPIRIT. IT IS FOR THIS REASON THAT YOU ARE WARNED NOT TO UTTER ANY EVIL WORDS BECAUSE ANY WORD SPOKEN BY CHRIST IS POWER. Brethren the spirit which dwells here is the source of everything in this kingdom. He is the one that heals, preaches, gives vision, renders songs and does everything in this new kingdom. Therefore academic excellence or worldly wisdom has no place here. Many people come here with the intention of investigating Brotherhood to know the source of power. I am asking you, "What do you find in Brotherhood?" Many of us suspect that the source of power is in the vestry, but when we go in there we cannot see this power. So we begin

to wonder whether it is at 26 Mbukpa Street, Calabar, Nigeria. When we do not see it there we suspect that it might be found in the Biakpan Water. When we go to Biakpan and fail to find this power, we are left with nothing. Many people have been asking why the brethren in Brotherhood are filled with the Holy Spirit but when they backslide they become empty. And so people begin to suspect that the Holy Father extracts the power from them. This statement is not true. Our Lord Jesus Christ said anyone who believes and is baptized shall be saved. Anyone not born of water and the spirit cannot enter into the kingdom of God. No matter how educated you are, or how much you have studied, when the spirit does not dwell in you, you are useless. Anyone without the Holy Spirit is deaf and blind. This is the reason why Our Lord Jesus Christ did not ask anyone who they were, because the Holy Spirit in Him revealed everything about everyone. (John 2:24-25)This spirit also enabled Him to read people's minds. (Matthew 9:4; Luke 5:22). IT IS THIS SPIRIT WHO IS GOD AND HE ALONE IS ABLE TO REVEAL THE LIKES AND DISLIKES OF GOD. WITHOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT YOU WILL NOT KNOW WHAT IS SIN AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING GOOD AND YOU WILL NOT KNOW GOD. IF YOU LACK THE HOLY SPIRIT, NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU READ THE BIBLE FROM GENESIS TO REVELATION, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND EVEN ONE VERSE. THE REASON IS THAT THE HOLY BIBLE IS WRITTEN IN SPIRITUAL LANGUAGE. WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT RESTS UPON YOU, IT WILL REVEAL THE BIBLE FROM GENESIS TO REVELATION TO YOU. WHEN THE SPIRIT OF GOD ENTERS INTO YOU, NO ONE NEEDS TO DIRECT YOU IN ANYTHING. YOU WILL BECOME AN EXPERT IN EVERYTHING DONE IN BROTHERHOOD. THIS HOLY SPIRIT WILL TEACH YOU EVERYTHING AND DIRECT YOU TO DO ALL THAT IS NECESSARY FOR YOU. Brethren we are so fortunate to have been given this Spirit free of charge because we did not go to the mountain to pray or go on pilgrimage to Jerusalem in order to have this spirit. We did not suffer or labor for it, but it has been given to us free of charge. The people of old sought for this spirit to an extent they went naked, but they did not receive it. This is what makes people to believe that God no longer exists. This is why they decided to help themselves and establish secret societies and other cults. THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE LOVE OF GOD, THE WISDOM OF GOD, AND EVERYTHING PERTAINING TO GOD. ONCE YOU HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT YOU ARE GIVEN THE POWER AND THE KNOWLEDGE TO UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING ABOUT GOD. AT THIS

TIME WE ARE LAYING EMPHASIS ON LOVE AND YOU CANNOT HAVE LOVE UNLESS YOU HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT SINCE THE HOLY SPIRIT IS LOVE. Man is just like a doll. He has eyes but he cannot see. He has legs but he cannot walk. Man is like a grave. On the outside it is well adorned but when you open it, the inside is filled with bones. WE HAVE TO GIVE GLORY TO THE HOLY SPIRIT BECAUSE HE HAS NO BEGINNING AND HE HAS NO END. We are unrighteous and unholy. We are not worthy to receive the Holy Spirit. The spirit that dwells in the world and operates in all churches is nothing but elementary spirits. Are you not surprised to see members of the churches drumming, clapping their hands, drinking, and committing terrible sins? This is because they are directed by the spirit of the world. WHEN OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WAS ON EARTH, IN THE FLESH, HE DID NOT CLAP HIS HANDS OR BEAT DRUMS OR DO ANY OF THE THINGS WHICH THE CHURCHES ARE DOING. OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST DID NOT READ THE SEVEN BOOKS OF MOSES OR GO TO THE MOUNTAINS TO PRAY. HE WAS SOLELY DIRECTED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. NOW THIS SAME HOLY SPIRIT HAS RESTED ON EVERY ONE OF US AND HE HAS MADE OUR HEARTS AND MINDS HIS DWELLING PLACE. HE IS DWELLING IN US AND REMOVED ALL SINS FROM US AND MADE US ONE WITH HIM. THIS IS WHY WE HAVE BOLDNESS BEFORE MEN AND THE ANGELS. THERE IS NO HUMAN BEING OR ANGEL WHO DOES NOT BOW DOWN TO THE CHILDREN OF GOD. It is not meant for you that you should understand yourselves to the extent that I am revealing to you. It seems to me that if you were to understand yourselves, you would be so proud and pompous. This is why He does not want us to understand ourselves beyond this limit. It is for others to know us. Read the First Lesson.

FIRST BIBLE LESSON: 1ST CORINTHIANS 2:12 "Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God."

Brethren, have you heard the text which has been read out to you? When I refer to the Spirit and the flesh, I mean the spirit which operates in the world, which is the elementary spirit. THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS DIFFERENT. The spirit of the world operates only here in

this world. THE SPIRIT IN OUR MIDST IS GOD ALMIGHTY WHO HAS DESCENDED TO DWELL WITH US. IT IS SAID THAT WHEN THE WAR IS FIERCE, THE KING HIMSELF WILL GO AND FIGHT. NOW HE HAS COME BY HIMSELF, WITHOUT SENDING ANYONE. THIS IS THE REASON WHY HE HAS REVEALED HIMSELF TO HIS CHILDREN. If you go to the spiritual churches like Cherubim and Seraphim, Mount Zion, those churches who profess to filled with the Holy Spirit, you will find them drinking, smoking and snuffing. In short while you will see them falling about and claiming to be moved by the Holy Spirit. They will make meaningless sounds, attempting to speak in tongues. All these things amount to total deceit because there is nothing there. They burn incense, light candles, and sprinkle perfumes. ALL THESE SHOW THAT THEY ARE BEING DIRECTED AND LED BY ELEMENTARY SPIRITS. ***They are directed to go to the riverside and offer sacrifices, go to mountain tops and they also draw circles. THESE ARE ALL THE DIRECTIVES OF THE WORLDLY SPIRITS. THERE IS NO OTHER CHURCH WHICH HAS THE HOLY SPIRIT EXCEPT BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR. Brethren this is why people from Mount Zion, Apostolic Church and secret societies come to you in a crafty way to ascertain the source of this power. Today they are being deceived into believing that the power is concentrated in the Holy Oil. THE HOLY OIL COMES FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT. IT IS ONLY THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO CAN REVEAL TO YOU THAT IT IS NOT GOOD TO DRINK OR FORNICATE. ONCE YOU HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT YOU WILL SEE YOUR NAKEDNESS AND REALIZE THAT YOU ARE NOTHING BEFORE GOD. NO MATTER HOW HIGHLY EDUCATED YOU ARE OR HOW WEALTHY YOU ARE, THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL EXPOSE YOUR NAKEDNESS BEFORE GOD AND YOU WILL KNOW THAT YOU ARE EMPTY. It is not your preaching which changes people from sinfulness to righteousness. IT ONLY THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO CHANGES PEOPLE FROM SINFULNESS TO RIGHTEOUSNESS. We are all advised not to imitate the people of the world who profess to have the Holy Spirit but they are drinking, and committing sins. WE HAVE TO LISTEN TO THE HOLY SPIRIT AND PRACTICE HIS INJUNCTIONS AND ABIDE BY ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS HE GIVES US. We must not do things according to the worldly wisdom or according to our independent volition. SOMEONE WHO GOES TO SCHOOL IS ONE THING, BUT FOR YOU TO HAVE A TEACHER TO TEACH YOU IS ANOTHER THING. IT IS MOST ESSENTIAL THAT YOU LISTEN TO YOUR TEACHER AND PUT HIS INSTRUCTIONS INTO PRACTICE. IF YOU HAVE A TEACHER AND YOU DO NOT

LISTEN TO HIM, OR PAY ANY ATTENTION TO HIM, EVEN IF YOU REMAIN IN THAT SCHOOL FOR TWENTY YEARS IT MEANS NOTHING. Many of you here do not listen to your teacher. This is what causes your problems. THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS COME TO LEAD YOU TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF TRUTH. HE TEACHES YOU NOT TO FORNICATE BUT YOU PAY DEAF EARS TO HIM AND YOU CONTINUE TO FORNICATE. HE TEACHES YOU THAT THERE IS NO JUJU AND THAT YOU SHOULD NOT ENGAGE IN SUCH DIABOLICAL THINGS, YET YOU CONTINUE IN THEM. HE TEACHES YOU NOT TO TELL LIES BUT YOU CONTINUE TO TELL LIES.***ALL THESE INSTRUCTIONS WERE GIVEN YOU THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO BUT YOU HAVE REFUSED TO PRACTICE THEM. THE INSTRUCTIONS I AM GIVING YOU NOW ARE BEING RECEIVED ALL OVER THE WORLD AND IN DIFFERENT PLANES OF MANIFEST. THIS IS WHY I TELL YOU THAT I AM IN HEAVEN DECLARING ALL THESE WORDS TO YOU. EVEN IF YOU ARE SLEEPING YOU ARE RECEIVING THESE INSTRUCTIONS. THE TROUBLE IS THAT YOU REFUSE TO PUT MY TEACHINGS INTO PRACTICE. ALL THOSE IN THEIR OFFICES, THOSE IN THE MARKET PLACES, THE FARMS, THOSE WALKING IN THE STREETS HEAR THESE TEACHINGS, FOR THEY ARE ALL BEING TAUGHT IN THE SPIRIT. I DO NOT TEACH YOU ANYTHING PERTAINING TO THE THINGS OF THIS WORLD. YOU MUST NOT LISTEN TO THE FLESH OR TO THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING IN THE WORLD. YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO DWELLS IN YOU AND HAS REFORMED YOU. YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THE POSITION OF THE SUPERNATURAL TEACHER. OTHER TEACHERS IN THE WORLD ARE MERELY TEACHERS BUT THE ONE IN OUR MIDST IS A SUPERNATURAL TEACHER. Are you all aware that the body you were born with is not the same body you have now? Who among you realizes that the original body has been demolished and that this new body is under the control of the Holy Spirit. RIGHT FROM THE DAY YOU RECEIVED THE HOLY SPIRIT YOU WERE COMPLETELY CHANGED. OLD THINGS HAVE PASSED AWAY. It is only when you lack the Holy Spirit that you act according to the directives of the flesh. IF YOU HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT YOU BECOME TOTALLY DEMOLISHED AND THIS VILE BODY HAS BECOME THE GLORIOUS BODY OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. YOU DO ALL THE SAME WORK AS OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST DID WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT RESTED UPON HIM. HE WAS LED INTO THE DESERT TO BE TEMPTED FOR FORTY DAYS AND FORTY NIGHTS. Unfortunately for you, but fortunately for Our Lord Jesus Christ, before He was led into the desert He had already passed through the primary school, the secondary school, and the post-secondary school, and so for Him to graduate into the university was not difficult. In your own case, you have never been to school but you wake up and find yourself in the university. This is what

is happening to all of you. IT HAS PLEASED GOD TO USE THINGS DESPISED AND REJECTED TO CONFOUND THE WISDOM OF THE MIGHTY. THEREFORE GOD HAS USED US TO CONFOUND THE WISDOM OF THE WORLD. YOU CAN SEE THAT GOD DOES EVERYTHING TO GIVE GLORY TO HIMSELF. It surprises the people of the world when they see the children of God who have never been to school and yet they do things that graduates and post graduates cannot do. At the moment you are telling lies and fornicating but when you come across a sick person and you say, "LET..," that person becomes well. People wonder what type of power this is. A person can point a gun at you but he would not be able to pull the trigger. Some others send thunder to destroy you but thunder would not come to you. In fact all their plans against you have always met with failure. For this reason the people are confounded. It has pleased the Father to do this for you even though you do not realize that you are beyond human destruction. If you enter into the house of a juju doctor, all his juju are destroyed forever. Your problem is that since you feel that you are sinful the power of the Holy Spirit is not dwelling in you. I AM ASSURING YOU THAT THIS SAME SPIRIT WHICH CAUSED OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST TO RESURRECT FROM THE DEAD IS THE ONE DWELLING IN YOU. THIS SPIRIT HAS ENTERED INTO YOU AND DEMOLISHED YOU SO THAT YOU HAVE EQUAL POWER WITH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. (He who believes in me, the works that I do same shall he do...and greater works than this shall he do){JOHN 14:12}. Some of you say that you are the only Brotherhood in your family. I advise you not to speak in this way. If I were to give you the power of the spoken word, that whatever you say must come to pass, you would harm yourselves. Therefore I overruled it. I have not given you that power yet. As the Father has given us this power, He has made it that whatever He says is final. When the Father says that the whole world is Brotherhood and you say that you are the only Brotherhood in your family, you have no right to say this, so the Father overrules it. The Father's word is final. For instance if you are indebted to someone in Lagos and you are living in Calabar, if someone tells you that he has paid the debt, if you go to Lagos you will be afraid of your debtors arresting you. In times past, you were afraid of your debtors arresting you and in times past, you were riddled with fears, but it has pleased the Father to redeem you and give you the Holy Spirit which has turned you into spirit. You do not realize that you are no longer a human being but a spirit. There is no visioner who can see that it is THE FATHER,

THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. THIS IS WHY I HAVE COME AS YOUR LEADER TO KILL THE FLESH AND GIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT DOMINION IN YOU. None of you is any longer in the flesh. It is the Holy Spirit who has taken dominion and is ruling now. Today if you decide not to go to the Bethel, you will find yourself the first person to be there because the flesh is dead and it is the spirit which leads. The day you decide to remain at home, you will find yourself going on ministry work to so many places because you are no longer the owner of yourself. There is none of you who knows how he comes into this kingdom. You do not know where you are going and where you are coming from. The spirit can go anywhere it likes and the flesh has no power to question it. As you bore the image of the earthly man, so must you bear the image of the heavenly man. YOU SHOULD REALIZE THAT YOU NOW RESEMBLE OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. ALL YOUR ACTIONS AND BEHAVIORS ARE NOW CONTROLLED BY CHRIST. YOU ARE NO LONGER RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR ACTIONS. ALL YOUR FACULTIES ARE UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. This is why you have no thought than the fact that the whole world should become Brotherhood. Your Brethren in the world testify that you do not go into their houses alone. This is true because it is the spirit who does the going out and coming in. Now if you plan to kill the spirit, can you kill the spirit? THE SPIRIT ONLY WEARS THE FLESH AS A GARMENT. Just like the soutane you wear. I do not know why I am exposing all these mysteries to you now. The people of the world say, "Look at this small child who has not even been to school. Are you going to preach to me?" IT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO IS DOING THE WORK. YOUR MAJOR ASSIGNMENT AND MINE IS TO LISTEN ATTENTIVELY TO THE HOLY SPIRIT. You can plan to go to a certain place and make a statement. If the Holy Spirit does not give you the authority, you will go to that place and you will come out without saying a word. All the notes we make in our diaries of what we plan to do, none of them is carried out. YOU CAN ONLY BEHAVE ACCORDING TO THE DIRECTIVES OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. THIS IS TO PROVE TO YOU THAT GOD HAS PASSED IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS TO DO HIS WORK ON EARTH. You may plan to trade or engage in a business but unless this is sanctioned by the Holy Spirit, you will not succeed. SINCE HE CONTROLS YOUR MIND AND YOUR ACTIONS, IF HE WANTS YOU TO WORK, HE WILL GIVE YOU A JOB. WHEN HE DOES NOT WANT YOU TO WORK, HE WILL TAKE THE JOB FROM YOU. Initially other people used to give you advice, not knowing that they are advising God. This is why you look at them as people lacking in understanding. When a person leaves Brotherhood, he is only on ministry work to go and bring in other sheep. When you backslide from Brotherhood, it only means that the Holy Spirit has sent you on

ministry work, either to Apostolic, Qua Iboe, Mount Zion, or even in prison. Our brethren who are in the Prisons are in prison are there to preach the gospel and to liberate those in prisons. Brethren we have no problems. There is no sickness for us and there is no death for us. We are free because the flesh is now dead, and the Spirit has taken His reign. Since God does His things slowly He gave the flesh a breathing space. This is why people feel that the Holy Spirit is no longer exists. People have been asking when they shall go to heaven. SECOND BIBLE LESSON: ROMANS 8:11 "But if the spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you."

I am asking you where are you now, are you not in heaven? People are asking when they will be changed in the twinkle of an eye. I am telling you that all of you have already been changed. Read the Second lesson again. How many times do you want God to change you? He is the fire that consumes and the Spirit that gives life. Brethren, have you heard that? The Spirit has demolished and rebuilt you. You are no longer the same with the past. I have been observing the visioners. I have never heard them reveal this. All that they see is juju and witchcraft binding their hands and feet. They see how mermaids are disturbing you. They only see how your entire household has been sold to witchcraft so they advise you to abandon your household and live in the Bethel. ALL THOSE VISIONS COME FROM THE ELEMENTARY SPIRITS. WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT RESTS UPON YOU, THE FLESH BECOMES DEAD AND THE SPIRIT MAKES YOU TO RESURRECT AND YOU BECOME SPIRIT. THE SAME SPIRIT THAT CAUSED OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST TO RESURRECT HAS ALSO RAISED YOU UP AND NOW RESTS UPON YOU. SINCE YOU HAVE DIED ONCE AND RESURRECTED THERE IS NO MORE DEATH FOR YOU. ETERNAL LIFE IS YOURS. LABOR AND WORK HARD BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO LIVE FOREVER. NOW THAT YOU HAVE MADE PLANS FOR YOUR DEATH, I AM ASSURING YOU THAT THERE IS NO DEATH FOR YOU, WHETHER YOU BELIEVE IT OR NOT. ETERNAL LIFE IS YOURS FOREVER. IF THE SPIRIT WHICH CAUSED OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST TO RESURRECT RESTS UPON YOU, IT MEANS YOU HAVE OVERCOME DEATH. If He likes to send you to the depths of the sea you will go. Perhaps the water kingdom is lacking in workers. Therefore, you may be assigned to go and work there. You can be sent to work in the sun, you may be sent to work it the prison because they are all lacking in preachers there.

You may go to offer prayers in the hospital. The staff may ask you to return later. IF IT PLEASES THE FATHER HE MAY SEND YOU THERE AS A PATIENT TO WORK. THE WAY AND MANNER HE WILL ASSIGN YOU TO DUTIES WILL BE UNKNOWN TO YOU. YOU MAY ASK THAT SINCE YOU PRAY FOR THE SICK AND THEY ARE HEALED AND THE FATHER HAS SAID THAT YOU WILL NOT BE SICK OR DIE, HOW THEN WILL YOU GO TO THE HOSPITAL? ASK WHETHER YOU WILL NOT GO? WHEN THE FATHER WANTS TO SEND YOU ON THAT MINISTRY WORK, YOU WOULD BECOME SICK AND NO PRAYER WOULD CURE YOU. NO AMOUNT OF HOLY OIL WILL HEAL YOU. When you are asked if you will go to the Hospital or not you reply that you do not go to the hospital, but you would be forced to go. And though you may be a patient, you will find yourself praying for the other patients, and also praying for them. You may remain there for a month or two, as it pleases the Father because you do not own yourself. When it is the fullness of time, He would discharge you. When you witness this situation, do not blame anyone. If the Holy Spirit does not want you to go to the Hospital, nobody can force you to go. Refrain from asking why a person should do this or that. If I were to go deeper into this mystery you would not understand. Prophet Ezekiel said, the bones shall rise again. If the bones shall rise again, what can the Holy Spirit not do? If I did not know Him to be the Father of love, and mercy, I would have run away from Him. It is the Holy Spirit who does everything. All the instructions which you do not obey are written on your palms. You have been driving about without meeting any police check points. One day you decide to go the market. You are stopped by the police and it is discovered that your documents are not in order and they are incomplete. The case then is taken to court. You begin to shout Olumba Olumba Obu is before and behind me. When you are given a fine to pay and you do not pay on time, you find yourself facing imprisonment. You can curse the magistrate and cause any amount of confusion and the Holy Spirit will protect you. IF HE WANTS YOU TO GO AND WORK IN THE PRISON, YOU WILL GET THROWN INTO PRISON FOR THE SMALLEST OFFENSE. NO MATTER HOW YOU WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE FATHER, HE WILL NOT REDEEM YOU BECAUSE HE WANTS YOU TO GO AND WORK IN THE PRISON. Judas Iscariot betrayed our Lord Jesus Christ because He knew that there was no power that could cause Him to be arrested. He had witnessed many instances in which people tried to arrest Our Lord Jesus Christ and Christ disappeared from

them. Judas Iscariot's own plan was to take the money from the High Priest and disappear. When his hope to trick the high priest failed he threw down the money and went and hanged himself. This was so because Judas realized that Our Lord Jesus Christ had been condemned to death. Remember what happened in the Cameroon: Dinka did not know that he was destined to go on ministry work in the prison in order to reveal the glory of God. When Dinka received the document to practice as a lawyer, he did not study the document to know whether it was forged or not. He was not interested because he knew nothing could happen to him. This was because the Father wanted to use this way to reveal his own glory. When the forgery was discovered, they were all arrested and imprisoned. The Holy Spirit owns all the parts of your body. He alone owns your eyes, ears, nose, brains, mind and conscience. Since the flesh is dead the spirit has taken dominion. BRETHREN, THIS IS WHY WE MUST HUMBLE OURSELVES BEFORE THE LORD, BECAUSE HE CAN LEAD US ANYWHERE HE LIKES AND NONE CAN QUESTION HIS AUTHORITY. Within a short time you will see millionaires, billionaires, kings and queens, lords, and head of states all coming before the Father. Where in the world have you ever seen millionaires mingling with paupers? In the world there is so much class distinction. The wealthy people cannot mix with poor ones. In the world the millionaires are supreme because everyone looks up to them. This is why our Lord Jesus Christ said it is very difficult for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. What does a rich man want there? In this kingdom we do not have millionaires or paupers. No one is ugly or beautiful. IT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO IS ALL IN ALL. In the world people worship money. Everybody wants to have money by all means. If you ask some one to bring out some money, a quarrel can break out. IN GOD'S KINGDOM WE DO NOT VALUE MONEY OR ANY MUNDANE THING. SINCE THE FATHER DWELLS IN US, WE ONLY GLORY IN THE GOOD VIRTUES SUCH AS LOVE, PEACE, MEEKNESS, HUMILITY, LONGSUFFERING, PATIENCE ETC. OUR DUTY IS TO RESEMBLE THE FATHER, EXACTLY. Just as our Lord Jesus Christ called the Jews children of vipers, so also in this new kingdom, we do not value millionaires, lawyers, or any other people who are worshipped in the world. This is why the world says that Brotherhood do not count on positions. SINCE THE HOLY SPIRIT DWELLS IN YOU, YOU DESPISE ALL WORLDLY THINGS. When you visit

your family, they will show you their storey buildings and other material possessions. They will try to convince you to come and enjoy with them. While they are trying to convince you, you begin to testify about God and show absolutely no interest in their material acquisitions. By the time you depart they begin to wonder what kind of person you are. When people testify that their wives have delivered babies or have acquired material gains, you only pity them and ask the Father to open their eyes to see this new kingdom as you are seeing it. Your entire mind will be just like the Father. FLESH AND BLOOD CANNOT DO THIS WORK. UNLESS YOU HAVE THE SAME SPIRIT AS OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, YOU CANNOT SUCCEED IN THIS WORK, BECAUSE FLESH AND BLOOD CANNOT ACCOMPLISH THIS ASSIGNMENT. THIS IS WHY WE SHOULD NOT GIVE GLORY TO ANY HUMAN BEING BUT TO GOD WHO OUT OF HIS LOVE HAS DESCENDED TO GIVE US THIS SPIRIT. Read the Golden Text. GOLDEN TEXT: MATTHEW 3:16 "And Jesus, when he was baptized went straight out of the water: and lo, the heavens opened unto him and He saw the spirit of God descending like a dove and lightening upon Him."

Brethren, have you heard that? Many people ask why you should be steadfast in Brotherhood. You have a wife, children, money, and everything. When you hear such a question you feel sympathy for the person asking such question. This person is your junior and is not even educated, but he asks you why you humble yourself so much in Brotherhood. Your only reaction is to ask the Father to forgive him because he knows what he is saying. The greatest problem now facing you is to refrain completely from sin and resemble the Father. Your interest is not in anything material. Your other major problem is how to convert the whole world into Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. This is why you wonder how you would convert your family so that they may not perish. If a person in Lagos wants to see the Father you are prepared to borrow the money to give him, so that he may come. You plead day and night to remain with the Father, though you are miserable sinners. Our anxiety to remain with Father could be likened to a Father who when he wants to out gives his children food so that they may not cry. Immediately the Father leaves the house all the children abandon the food and run after the Father. Even those who own buildings and numerous cars, if they hear the Father is leaving this place, they would abandon all their wealth and children to follow the Father. I want you to show me anything in the whole world that is greater than this kingdom.

YOU HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE SPIRIT OF THIS WORLD, BUT THE SPIRIT OF GOD. None of us is interested in the things of this world anymore. All our mind is now focused on how to be with the Father and how to refrain from sin. This is why you attribute everything to the Father. IT IS ONLY THE FATHER WHO HEALS, PRAYS, AND DOES EVERYTHING. When people try to tell you that you are responsible for doing anything, you tell them that it is not you but the Father. For this reason the world marvels and people ask you where this Father is to be found. Your only desire is to make the whole world know the Father, either through charity, gospels, songs, or testimonies. In fact everything you do is in order to convince the people to believe in the Father. When you see someone canvassing for contracts, do not say that he has backslided, instead go to convince him to believe in the Father. Those in the civil service are there solely to convert the whole world to the Father. You can now see that it is not flesh and blood that is doing the work but the Holy Spirit. Since the creation of the world, there has never been one person who remains in one place, praying, fasting and delivering the gospel from morning until evening. In this place the people come and sit down foolishly though there is no drink or any other worldly thing to be found here. In the places where the worldly people assemble, though they have drinks, beautiful women, food and everything, they cannot remain in one place for more than an hour without going out. The major work that the Holy Spirit has done is to demolish you and remold you, by removing all the pride and evils from you and taking absolute dominion over you. The vision of John the Divine has manifested. As it says the Kingdoms of this world have become the kingdom of Jehovah God and His Christ and He shall reign forever and ever. All your pride, craftiness, arrogance, and stubbornness, are they still in you? You will be surprised to see handsome men, beautiful women, educated people, highly placed person, all congregating here. No matter how ugly you may be, or how dirty or filthy or crooked you may be, once the Holy Spirit enters into you, you are reformed and made handsome and beautiful. No matter how foolish you are, once the Holy Spirit enters into you, you become reformed and you become the king of knowledge. No matter how sinful you maybe, when the Holy Spirit descends into you, you become like Our Lord Jesus Christ. Even if you are slave under someone, immediately the Holy Spirit descends on you, you become a king. WHO IS THIS HOLY SPIRIT? IS HE NOT GOD? Why do you continue to tell people to come to 34 Ambo or 26 Mbukpa, are you not 34 Ambo and 26 Mbukpa yourselves?

YOU SHOULD GIVE ALL GLORY AND HONOR TO THE HOLY SPIRIT BECAUSE ALL OF YOU ARE SAVED. WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT INITIALLY ENTERS INTO YOU, JUST AS HE LED OUR JESUS CHRIST TO THE DESERT, YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF COMPLAINING OF ACHES, AND PAINS IN THE HANDS, STOMACH, HEAD, AND EVERYWHERE. THIS IS BECAUSE THE HOLY SPIRIT IS A CONSUMING FIRE WHEN IT ENTERS, IT BURNS ALL THE FILTH AWAY AND REMOLDS YOU. WHEN HE HAS FINISHED HIS WORK, YOU BECOME YOUNG AND FRESH. THE WORLD TODAY IS FILLED WITH POWER BECAUSE OF THE PRESENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT ON EARTH. THIS IS WHY NO ONE IN THE WORLD CAN CONFRONT YOU. The world suspects there is something sinister in the power found in Brotherhood. WHAT IS IN BROTHERHOOD IS THE HOLY SPIRIT. If God can be killed then you can be killed. But as long as the Holy Spirit or God cannot be killed, you cannot be killed either. The whole world is thanking God that if He were not the God of Love, Peace, Mercy, Joy, etc., He would have destroyed them all. THIS SPIRIT IS HERE TO CONVERT THE WHOLE WORLD UNTO HIMSELF. This is why if you curse a person, the Father will bless that person and the person will testify how God, the Father has blessed him. The spirit does not kill or punish. It rather remolds you and makes you younger and younger every day. People run away from Brotherhood because they want to remain in the world and take vengeance. Once the Holy Spirit descends into you, you can no longer take vengeance. Rejoice because you and the entire world are saved. We have to listen to Him, to His likes and dislikes. He is the head and you only have to second the motion. He is the government in power. Our duty is to conform to all His instructions. He does not seek for anyone's opinion before doing His will. He goes out quietly and does His work and comes back. He is not the kind of spirit who begs people to follow Him and people make excuses that they want to go and bury their fathers first. Our Lord Jesus would look at them without doing anything. And so brethren, I do not intend to be tedious with you. It is said that a stroke of the cane is sufficient unto the wise man. Let those who have ears to hear, hear. May God bless His Holy words. Amen. THANK YOU HOLY FATHER.
