THE NEW NAME OF GOD

BIBLE CLASS LECTURE DELIVERED BY THE SUPERNATURAL TEACHER LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU

TEXT: REVELATION CHAPTER 19:1-END Brethren, the Scripture is fulfilled in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. It was long foretold by Our Lord Jesus Christ that when the Comforter-The Holy Spirit- will come, He will lead you unto the accurate knowledge of the truth. Today, that Comforter is here, teaching and leading all creation to all the truth. Welcome Bible Class students. Sometimes people of the world ask you to show them the name of the Leader O.O.Obu in the Bible, and you become humiliated and defeated, because you cannot support yourself with quotations from the Bible. However there are many portions in the Bible containing prophesies about the name of the Promised Comforter when He manifests in the flesh to lead, teach and judge all His creation. It is the Father's pleasure to show you these portions in the Bible and what was written about His garment dipped in blood. THE SAVIOR WITH RED VESTURE: There is a spiritual chorus that says: "We have One clothed in a vesture dipped in blood and His name is a savior."Let us read from the Holy Bible, the book of Genesis Chapter 49, verses 8-11: "Judah, thou art he whom thy

brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall bow down before thee. Judah is a loin's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up? The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garment in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes." APPLICATION: To whom does this portion of the Bible refer? Was the garment of Our Lord Jesus Christ dipped in blood? This portion proves beyond all reasonable doubts that the revelation of Leader O.O.Obu was foretold before the foundation of the world. Christ was not clothed in garments dipped in blood. When the people of the world ask you where the name of Leader O.O.Obu is written in the Bible, refer them to this statement. It is said that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every matter is established. Read from the book of Isaiah Chapter 63, verses 1-5: "Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save. Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat? I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment. For the

day of vengeance is in my heart, and the year of my redeemer is come. And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me." From the foundation of the world, have you ever seen or heard of any human being clothed in garment dipped in blood(red garment)? Have you heard and understood that question asked in the opening verses of Isaiah's prophesy? "Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments, glorious in his apparel; travelling in the greatness of his strength? I THAT SPEAK IN RIGHTEOUSNESS AM MIGHTY TO SAVE." In all your visions and dreams, in all clairvoyant devices, have you ever come across a man in red garment or in a vesture dipped in blood? When you were in the world, did you ever come across an angel or spirit in such and apparel? WITH THAT RED GARMENT ON ME I AM OMNIPRESENT, OMNIPOTENT, AND OMNISCIENT. WAS JESUS CHRIST OMNIPRESENT? HE DID THE WORK AS A SON, ONLY TO BE SEEN WHEN HE MOVED FROM PLACE TO PLACE. BUT IN MY CASE, I AM SEEN LAVISHLY EVERYWHERE AT THE SAME SECOND, WHILE I REMAIN HERE PHYSICALLY. Read Revelation Chapter 19, verses 12-13: "His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called the Word of God." WHO IS THIS MAN? MY GARMENT REVEALS MY DEITY. BUT WHO IS THIS

MAN WHOM THE BIBLE SPEAKS ABOUT FROM GENESIS TO REVELATION? ONE THAT IS "MIGHTY TO SAVE AND HE IS CLOTHED IN RED GARMENT? HE IS NO OTHER THAN LEADER O.O.OBU. HAVING KNOWN ABOUT THIS NEW NAME AND THE TRUTH SURROUNDING IT, WHY DO YOU CONTINUE TO EXPRESS DOUBTS? IN THE WHOLE WORLD, IT IS THE NAME OF LEADER O.O.OBU ALONE THAT IS MIGHTY TO SAVE. IT IS THE ONLY NAME FOR WHICH ALL OF GOD'S CREATION, INCLUDING THE ANGELS, SPIRITS, DEMONS, MERMAIDS,THUNDER, AIR, FISHES, ANIMAL, TREES, ETC. MUST BOW TO. Now if you see a man in a red garment or soutane, would you easily recognize him because of his apparel? MAKE NO MISTAKE, SUCH A PERSON MUST BE OMNIPRESENT, OMNIPOTENT, AND OMNISCIENT, AND MIGHTY TO SAVE. There is no event in the world that had not been prophesied about in the Bible. The authenticity of Gods prophetic words is confirmed in Luke Chapter 21 verse 33: "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away." You can imagine the number of years since the red garment or vesture dipped in blood was prophesied about in the books of Genesis, Isaiah and Revelation, and until its fulfillment in OUR DAYS. Since the death and resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ and his ascension into heaven, it is now one thousand, nine hundred and seventy nine years. The whole world and you have been reading the Bible, but you have not noticed those portions. GO AND TELL THE WHOLE WORLD, INVITE THEM TO COME AND SEE THE ONE THAT WAS WRITTEN ABOUT, THE ONE CLOTHED IN VESTURE DIPPED IN BLOOD.

THE PROMISED COMFORTER: Concerning this present generation, the Bible states in 1st Thessalonians Chapter 5, verses 1-5: "But of the times and seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you: For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord cometh as a thief in the night; for when they shall say, peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child, and they shall not escape: But ye brethren, are not in darkness that, that day should overtake you as a thief: ye are all the children of light and the children of day: we are not of night, nor of darkness." When the children of this kingdom greet their fellow brethren by saying `Peace,' they will react by saying, go away with your peace.' What sort of peace, when fire, sickness, poverty, hatred, division, lawlessness, imprisonment, frustration, and insecurity are their watch words daily.

THE ONLY AUTHORITY AND TEACHER FOR THE WHOLE WORLD IS THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE PROMISED COMFORTER,
WHOM THE WORLD DOES NOT KNOW. HE IS THE ONLY AUTHORITY TO DIRECT AND TEACH THOSE SEEN AND UNSEEN. Look up in the Bible, John Chapter 14:26: "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you."THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE COMFORTER, THE ONE WITH A VESTURE DIPPED IN BLOOD IS DOING TODAY IN YOUR MIDST.

Many of you were members of different churches and other forms of worship, some of you belonged to secret societies, but when the Comforter arrived, he called you into this kingdom. Of course, back there in your former denominations, you did not see the Comforter face to face. But today you have seen Him. Nothing was taught about Him there, and the Comforter revealed nothing to you at that time as He is doing now. Were you led to the accurate knowledge of the truth? When you were burning candles and incense, drumming and clapping hands in search of power? The Comforter was not your Teacher, Master, and Leader then. Of course you fasted and grew long beards like Elijah and Moses, yet you did not see the Comforter and your problems were not solved. Your bishops, reverend gentlemen, pastors, cardinals and popes were unable to solve your day to day problems. When your fasting and prayers could not solve your problems you decided to go to the hospital for drugs, injection, and tablets. You consulted oracles and looked for prepared charms, concoction for your protection. Were your infirmities healed both bodily and spiritually? How is it today? The Comforter speaks only a word and whatever your problems were, they are taken away immediately, on the spot. Do you not say that such a healing work is not of God but that of Beelzebub today? However, when there is a turning back to Him, He forgives and accepts you. ONCE YOU BELIEVE AND ACCEPT THE COMFORTER, NOTHING IN THIS WORLD HAS DOMINION OVER YOU. NOT EVEN THE SPIRITS, OR ANGELS OR MEN. YET WITH THIS HOPE, MANKIND HAS REFUSED TO EMBRACE THIS WITH JOY, BUT IN ITS IGNORANCE CALLS THE COMFORTER A MAGICIAN AND A HUMAN BEING.

Our Lord Jesus Christ bore witness about the Comforter when He said: "The Comforter that the Father will send in my name, He will teach all things and lead you to the accurate knowledge of the truth." You are not told that the seminaries in London, America, India, Rome etc. are the ones to teach you. Has it ever been prophesied that a man, angel, or spirit shall teach you? Today you may boast of degrees obtained in theological institutions of this world. Were you awarded those degrees by the Comforter or by Our Lord Jesus Christ? Did our Lord Jesus Christ bear witness about your teachers? Many people conclude that the Holy Spirit ended with the Apostles on the day of Pentecost and that such power does not exist today. Why? Because with their carnal wisdom they sought for the Comforter and could not find Him. The Holy Spirit is in your midst doing His wonderful works as was ordained by God. In John Chapter 16,verses 12-15, our Lord Jesus Christ emphasized the teaching program of the Comforter - the Holy Spirit: "I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak, and He will show you things to come. He shall glorify me: for He shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that He shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you." THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS CHRIST: Brethren, is there any time that I have taught you anything of myself? All that you are taught here is about our Lord Jesus Christ; what he did is what we are doing today.

Where in the world have you seen people gathered every Wednesday to celebrate the past events of Our Lord Jesus Christ? In Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, we celebrate the last supper just as Christ did with his disciples. We

watch and pray till 3 a.m. when our Lord Jesus Christ was arrested. We dismiss from the vigil at 3 a.m. for it was at
this time that the disciples scattered when their Master was arrested. Can you mention one man on earth who teaches exactly what Our Lord Jesus Christ taught? Mention any church in the world that teaches exactly what our Lord Jesus Christ taught? Can you point to a portion in the Bible where Our Lord Jesus Christ lit a candle, and incense, sounded drums and cymbals, clapped hands, or used drugs on the sick or referred any sick one to the hospital? Now I ask you, the so called Christians who perform these things, who do you think is their teacher and leader? Our Lord Jesus Christ said," When the Comforter will come, he will not speak of Himself but will give all glory to Him (Our Lord Jesus Christ). Do the teachings of Christendom give glory to God and His Christ? Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is not a church or a society but Christ Universal SPIRITUAL School of Practical Christianity. A place where the teachings of Our Lord Jesus Christ are taught, WHERE NO ONE ELSE IS CALLED FATHER EXCEPT OR FATHER WHO IS IN HEAVEN. BUT TODAY DO THE PRIESTS NOT CALL THEMSELVES REVEREND FATHERS? IN THIS WAY THEY PORTRAY THEMSELVES AS REBELS AND ANTI-CHRISTS. Today, churches of Christendom address our Lord, Master, Savior, Redeemer "Jesus." What an insult and abuse on the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. In the Universal Spiritual

School of Practical Christianity, the Holy Spirit teaches us to call Him Our Lord Jesus Christ." All the miracles and mighty works performed in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star are carried out by the Father Himself, the Son and the Holy Spirit, and ALL GLORY AND HONOR BELONG TO HIM ALONE. PRAYERS MUST BE THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST: Whenever you want to request anything from the Holy Spirit, all supplications must be through Our Lord Jesus Christ. Our Lord Jesus Christ is the door keeper. If one professes not to know Christ, such a person fails woefully. OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS MEDIATOR OF THE NEW COVENANT,THE KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS, THE SOLE SPIRITUAL HEAD OF THE UNIVERSE. The pattern of praying in Brotherhood is peculiar. For God is not a God of confusion, therefore all things are done decently and in order. When you want to pray, you must start thus: "Let thanks, praises, dominion and power be ascribed

to God, in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Let thanks, praises, dominion, and power be ascribed to God in the blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Let praises, majesty, dominion, power and wisdom be ascribed to God now and forever more."
When you want to give out vision, testimonies, dreams and prophesies, you must start thus:"In the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ, in the blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ Jesus Christ. Now and forever more-Amen." During the sojourn of Our Lord Jesus Christ on earth, no one received the Holy Spirit. Remember how he told his disciples to wait at Jerusalem until they be clothed with the Holy Spirit? This was the promise He made. TODAY DO I

TELL YOU TO GO AND WAIT AT JERUSALEM? Read John Chapter 16, verses 7-11: "Nevertheless, I tell you truth: It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you. And when He comes, He will reprove the world of sin and of righteousness and of judgment: Of sin because they believe not in me; of righteousness, because I go to my Father and ye see me no more. Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged." THE IMPACT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT: Can you imagine a man without form or comeliness remaining in a corner and the whole world is shaking because of his presence? What then is your opinion on the statement of Christ in John 16:7-11? He said:"If I do not go away, the Holy Spirit will not come. But, if I go away, the Holy Spirit will come and teach you, and lead you to the accurate knowledge of the truth." FROM THE TIME OF ADAM UNTIL NOW, HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF A MAN WHOM PEOPLE DO NOT SEE IN FLESH BUT IMPLICIT FAITH AND CONFIDENCE IS EXPRESSED IN HIM? I AM REFERRING TO A MAN WHO REMAINS IN A PARTICULAR PLACE BUT HE IS SEEN UNIVERSALLY. Open your Bible and read John Chapter 3 verses 25-27: "Then there arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews about purifying. And they came unto John and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with you beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold the same baptizeth, and all men come to him. John answered and said, "A man can receive nothing, except it is being given him from heaven." WHO AMONG MEN CAN DO WHAT I AM DOING NOW?

IS THERE ANY GOVERNMENT, CHURCH ORGANIZATION, SOCIETY, ANGEL,OR SPIRIT THAT CAN DO THESE WORKS? THIS IS A PROVEN FACT THAT THE ONE WRITTEN ABOUT IS NOW IN YOUR MIDST. BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR HAD BEEN IN EXISTENCE BEFORE ADAM AND EVE WERE CREATED. LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU HAD EXISTED BEFORE THE WORLD WAS FORMED. Shall we read John Chapter 4 verses 20-25: "Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say that Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. Jesus said to her:"Woman believe me the hour cometh when ye shall neither in this mountain nor yet at Jerusalem worship the Father. Ye worship ye know not what ye worship: for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour cometh when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship Him. God is a spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth. The woman saith unto Him, I know that the Messiah cometh, which is called the Christ: When He comes He will tell us all things." This portion of the Bible applies to Brotherhood of the Cross and Star or Christ Universal Spiritual School of Practical Christianity. Why should the world be in a rage that a new church has been established? All the churches of Christendom, pagandom and heathendom use candles and burn incense, they invoke spirits, take drugs, injections, use charms and concoctions, perfumes, and consult spirit mediums, etc. It is only Brotherhood of the Cross and Star that does not do any of those things mentioned. It is not an imported form of worship. May we read 2nd Timothy 3:1-6 so that you may truly

have a picture of the present system of things: "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lust. " Do not forget this little point, people having a form of godliness but attributing falsehood to its powers. Do the so called Christian churches of Christendom not deny the power of the Holy Spirit today and term it to be that of Beelzebub? DIFFERENCE IN WORSHIP: The world and the much talked about church-goers are lovers of alcoholic drink and soft drinks. They love music, fornication, and adultery, night clubs, and luxurious living. If any person preaches against these things, they immediately would leave such a preacher, or that he is transferred to another congregation. The worldly people profess to know Our Lord Jesus Christ, but by their actions, they deny Him completely. Look up Titus Chapter 1 verse 16: "They profess that they know God but in their works they deny Him, being abominable and disobedient and unto every good work reprobate," SINCE BROTHERHOOD IS FOUNDED ON THE TEACHINGS OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, MEMBERS DO NOT DRINK

ANY WINE, ALCOHOL OR OTHERWISE. THEY WORSHIP GOD IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH. John 15: verse 12: "This is my commandment that ye love one another as I have loved you." It is love that prevails in Brotherhood of Cross and Star. The aim and objective of Brotherhood is to love one another. The whole world bear witness of the wonderful things they see in this kingdom of God. THE GOD-GIVEN COMMISSION FOR THE MINISTRY: Read 2nd Timothy 4 verses 1-4: "I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ who shall judge the quick and the dead at His appearing and His Kingdom, preach the word: be instant in season and out of season: reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lust shall heap to themselves teachers having itching ears; And they shall turn their ears away from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables." You can see the fulfillment of the above passage of the Bible in this generation, yes, in the churches of Christendom. They accumulate teachers to teach them, those from seminaries with many degrees, to hate, fight, quarrel, fornicate, drink, sue people to court, people who discriminate, teachers who do not practice what they preach. Our Lord Jesus Christ promised to send a Comforter who will teach and lead us to the accurate knowledge of the truth. The fancy preachers of Christendom graduate without the Holy Spirit, and as such cannot teach, heal or change any sinner to righteousness. Matthew 23 verse 8, says:"But be not ye called Rabbi: for

one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren." Who in the whole world believes and accepts that all mankind are brethren? WE ARE BROTHERS AND SISTERS: There are some church-goers who do exhibit an indifferent spirit when you call them` brother or sister, and more so when you greet them by the Lord's method, peace.' Such ones will rebuke you and will not respond. These are still in ignorance and not knowing that all mankind descended from Adam and Eve and as such we are all brethren. Of course no one will teach you this truth except the Holy Spirit. Look up 1st. John Chapter 2 verse 27: "But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him." There you have it! It is only the Holy Spirit that must teach you and no one else. Who is this Holy Spirit? He is the Almighty God. Our Lord Jesus Christ said, I and my Father are one.' Christ is never separated from the Father. In John 10 verse 30, this oneness is confirmed: I and my Father are one.'

Who is the Father? Who then is the Son, and who is the Holy Spirit? John 1 verses 1-4 says: "In the beginning was
the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made. In Him was life; and the life was the light of men." WHO THEN IS THE WORD? GOD IS THE WORD. CHRIST IS

WORD AND THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE WORD. THEREFORE THEY ARE INDIVISIBLE. THE FATHER HAS COME; HE IS THE WORD, AND THE WORD BECOMES FLESH AND DWELLS AMONG MANKIND. THE WORLD HAS NOT RECOGNIZED NOR HAVE PEOPLE ACCEPTED HIM AS THE WORD. Was Christ not justified to say `I and my father are one?' WHO THEN IS IN YOUR MIDST TODAY? IS HE NOT THAT SAME WORD THAT WAS IN THE BEGINNING? ALL THINGS CAME FROM HIM. Now read 1st.John chapter 5, verses 7-8: " For there are three that bear record in heaven:THE FATHER, THE WORD, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THESE THREE ARE ONE. AND THERE ARE THREE THAT BEAR WITNESS ON EARTH, THE SPIRIT, THE WATER, AND THE BLOOD;AND THESE THREE ARE ONE." The water, spirit and blood are the make-up of a human being. If any of them is lacking in a person, that person is dead. Therefore, when God as the WORD, wants to become flesh, He takes blood and spirit and dwells among his creation as a human being. The Holy Spirit now in you consists of water, blood and spirit. That is why you have the senses to see Him as a human being. THE HEALING POWER IN BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR: Three things are used in healing in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. They are: Water, Holy Oil and the Word. The Holy Oil is the blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ. The Word is God. Once these three things are applied to a sick person, he must become restored. That is why the fanatics term Brotherhood to be a magic church. Compare your body functions to that of a car: the car requires water, oil and

petrol in order to operate and if any of these things is lacking, it may become damaged. So also is the body. The words that proceed out of the mouth of a Brotherhood on a sick person becomes water, blood and spirit; a healing and a soothing balm to the sick. The WORD becomes spirit and gives life to the dead, supplying all your requirements. Read John 3 verse 34: "For he whom God had sent speakest the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him." Our Lord Jesus Christ was sent here on earth as the Word. He became flesh and dwelt among men. During His baptism by John the Baptist, a voice came out from heaven saying: "This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased, hear ye him." Did the world not kill him? Now the Father, Son and Holy Spirit has come in person, what would you say? ANOTHER GARMENT OF IDENTIFICATION: Shall we read Revelation Chapter 19 verse 8: "And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of the saints." The white garment or soutane used by those in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star signifies what? The garment signifies the godly virtues that they possess: love, peace, patience, humility, endurance, self-control, forgiveness, tolerance, meekness, righteousness, goodness, etc. Your actions at all times must be clean, fine, white, unspotted white. It must have no stain at all. Whenever a Brotherhood commits sin, this sin appears as a spot of stain on the white garment. Any Brotherhood member who has been baptized, and he fails to put on the white garment, it means such one is still in sin, and he is a rebel. Whenever the angels find you committing sin

and you have the white garment, they punish you. DO NOT WORSHIP A HUMAN BEING: Let us read Revelation chapter 19 verse 10: "And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." All those who observe the idolatrous tradition of libation, do you hear that? You must not bow down to any human being, except God. If you bow down, to your fellow man you are a rebel, anti-christ. Never worship an angel or anyone else. THE BLESSING PROCEDURE IN BROTHERHOOD: In Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, you pass by the lower altar where you have a jar of flower placed on a table. You are required to bow your head and make your offering and receive your portion of blessing. Some of you do not even bow your heads when you pass by the altar. Do you think it is the flower or table you see there that you bow down to? Or what is it that you imagine which brings doubts into your mind? I know very well that if a child is sitting there, you would not bow your head, for you would take him to be a human being. This is why in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, we do not worship any man except JEHOVAH GOD AND HIS CHRIST WHO HAS COME BACK INTO THE WORLD AS THE WORD, WITH HIS NEW NAME, THE HOLY SPIRIT. ALL GLORY AND HONOR BELONG TO HIM ALONE. As you kneel and bow your heads in worship to Him, so do I even more than you do.

Brethren, those who have ears to hear, let them hear. May God bless his Holy Words. Amen. THANK YOU HOLY FATHER.

CHRIST WILL NOT COME AGAIN FROM JERUSALEM First Bible Lesson: Matthew 23:37-39 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord. Second Bible Lesson: John 4: 21-23 Jesus said unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. Golden Text: Matthew 21:40-41 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will He in do unto those husbandmen? They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons. Brethren, listen to this gospel, as it is a revelation to the entire world. This message belongs to all the creations of God, both animate and inanimate objects. Therefore you should not allow anybody to make you go astray from the path of righteousness; for heaven and earth shall pass away but not an iota of the word of God. I have told you time

without number that I do not bring any new doctrine into the world, but I come to remind you of all the doctrines of Our Lord Jesus Christ. He had never said that in His Second Advent He would be in the Americas, Asia, Jerusalem, India, or anywhere else in the world. Before He departed He warned that if somebody should tell you that Our Lord Jesus Christ was in the desert, you should not go because He would not exist there; and that as the lightening flashes from one end of the sky to the other, so shall the coming of the Son of man be. Then they asked Him when that would be. And He told them that where the carcasses were there would the vultures be.(Matthew 24:23-28). The Pharisees likewise asked Him when He would return. He said the kingdom of God did not come by observation, so that people would say, Lo here, lo there. He added that the Kingdom of God was within man. The word of Our Lord Jesus Christ is true since He is the truth. Behold what Our Lord Jesus Christ said about Jerusalem and all its inhabitants. This is to reveal to you openly that mankind does not believe in God: Behold your house is left onto you desolate. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together even as a hen gathereth her children under her wings, and ye would not! For I say unto you ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord. It is not in the mountain or in Jerusalem or in the forest or in the deepest sea or in any other special place in the universe that you will have to sit down and worship God. You should worship God within you, since God is a Spirit, and dwells within you. This is the time for the entire world to practice the

doctrine of Our Lord Jesus Christ. What is the point in building a house which you call a church, yet you are still fornicating or you are still deep in vices? What is the need of building all these temples when you are still in sin? What is the point of going about preaching that God says you should leave all sins, when you are in sin? What is the point in parading the streets with the Bible admonishing others against committing fornication, adultery and the rest of the vices yet, you take active part in all of these vices? Any preacher who is still in sin does not know what He is doing. The mission of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the world was to stop people from worshipping in temples since God is a Spirit, and they that worship him must worship Him in Spirit and in truth. It is now entirely useless for Christians to travel all the way from Nigeria to worship God in Jerusalem, just because Christ was born in Jerusalem. In times past worshippers used to migrate to or assemble in Jerusalem, because they claimed it was only in Jerusalem that people worshipped God. In those days, if one did not go to Jerusalem, one was not accepted as a true worshipper of God. It is quite clear that the people going on pilgrimage to Jerusalem were not pleasing God at all. It was indeed worshipping God in the flesh. Solomon built a house for God, yet he did not believe in God. Since he did not believe in God, his empire declined and fell. This is no more time for people to fool you, asking you to follow them to Jerusalem to worship God. It is the time for you to practice the gospel within you. God is not as foolish as we are. People have the foolish notion that in those days of old, prophets were hated, persecuted and killed; hence they too begin to hate and persecute the prophets of today. Had such people heard what God said

about the people of Jerusalem who persecuted the prophets, they would have pitied themselves. THE TRINITY 609 If your forefathers worshipped God in Jerusalem, yet they persecuted and killed the prophets of old, can you not learn a lesson from there? If Solomon built a mighty temple for God and yet he did not practice the word of God, and in the long run, he perished, is this not a lesson to you? Brethren, it is not the cathedral or church that is important, but the practicing of all the injunctions of our Lord Jesus Christ. Now you are free to worship God anywhere you are on the surface of the globe. This is the time for Practical Christianity. All the inhabitants of the world must practice the Word of God. Even for you to go on pilgrimage to Mecca, what are you going to do there? God is not in Mecca, nor is He in America. You say, right, let us go to Africa to worship God. God is not here in Africa. GOD IS WITHIN YOU. That means do not commit fornication, adultery; do not steal, do not take vengeance against your enemy. Do not commit all the evils enumerated in the Bible. If you love one another as Christ has instructed, it means you have worshiped God. You can build a mighty cathedral, and stay in there to cause confusion. By so doing you do not worship God. And this is what the people of old did. This is why Christ said they worshipped what they did not know. You see God within you by your movement and your utterances and your relationship towards your enemy. This is why Our Lord Jesus Christ says if somebody tells you God is in the mountain do not go because you see God through peoples actions. Our Lord Jesus Christ revealed Himself to the world by His movements, His utterance, and His relationship with other people. This is the way He presented godly work. The church denominations profess to be worshipping God yet

their behavior and actions deny God. Can you say that God is in Jerusalem and yet they killed all the prophets of God, from Abel to Christ? Can you say that God is in India yet when you go there you see people fighting, quarrelling, and killing? Or do you want to tell me that you see God by living an abominable life? Who were the people who killed Zacharias? Were they not the same people? In this present generation, who are the people who persecute the children of God? Are they not the same people? These are the same people who hate being told the truth about God. They parade the streets with long garments pretending to be followers of Christ, while inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You remember when that young lawyer approached Our Lord Jesus Christ and asked Him, What do you do to gain eternal life? Our Lord told him, You know all the laws, honor thy mother and father, do not fornicate, do not kill, do not hate anybody, but love your neighbor as yourself. At this point, the lawyer tried to show the Lord that he had intelligence, and so went on to ask Our Lord, who Our Lord referred to as his neighbor. Our Lord went on to tell the young lawyer the story of the Good Samaritan and at the end of the story, the Lord asked him who among these three men he would say was the victims neighbor. The young man replied saying that the third traveller who took the victim to the hospital was the victims real neighbor. Our Lord Jesus Christ then told him to go and do likewise. (Luke 10:30-37) So Brethren, this is exactly what you are asked to do, otherwise you are not a Christian. This was the reason behind the instruction which our Lord gave to His disciples, saying, Help the needy, help the sick, clothe the naked and pray for the distressed, and as a law, always render good services to others.

Our Lord came not to be served, but to serve the world. The work of God is to do good services to humanity. And anyone who professes to do the work of God, but is devoid of these injunctions to mankind, is not a Christian. Therefore, Brethren, no matter what you profess to do, the sinner must receive punishment for his wrongdoing.(Prov 11:21). You have heard of Jerusalem, and you have read where Our Lord said, I am going to Jerusalem; and behold it was in that same Jerusalem that He was killed. All the apostles were killed in that same place, Jerusalem. For those of you who want to go to Jerusalem, do you want to go and see the graves or the bones of those apostles who were murdered by the Jews? Note that anytime you go to Jerusalem you are only going there to suffer. Therefore Brethren, we all have to listen to the directives of the Holy Spirit. Since this is the period of His reign, we have to endeavor to do only those things which are pleasing to God. In these last days, we have to worship God wherever we are since He dwells in us. We must neither think that it is only in Jerusalem that one has to worship God, nor should we think that you can only be saved when you become a member of Brotherhood, Catholic, or Apostolic churches. If that is so, is God Catholic or Apostolic? It is said, Not all Israelites are the true sons of Israel, and not all the heirs of Abraham are the true sons of Abraham, but the children of promise are the real children of God. In like manner, not all the members of Brotherhood that are true Brotherhood. The Bible clearly states that you should have nothing to do with any person who calls himself a brother but indulges in fornication, adultery, theft, hatred, and all manners of vices. If you go to any place and you find people who profess to be Brotherhood, but indulge in vices, keep yourself away

from them (1 Cor 5:11). Do not be deceived that you are saved the moment you shout on Jesus, or Jehovah; for salvation is granted only to those who practice the laws of God. Therefore if there is anybody who tells you to come to his church or house to see God, he is a deceiver, because if he abides in the words of God, then you could see God transparently in him. God is not a stone, a tree, water, a mountain nor a building BUT GOOD VIRTUES. This is why the Bible condemns anyone who sees his brother in problems and instead of helping, he offers him Gods blessings. How can a man who purchases and stores ammunition for himself and always prepares to fight, or the man who is always ready to sue others to court call himself a Christian? Christ teaches love and forbids us from fighting with the evil doer. He teaches us to love our enemies and to pray for those who wish us evil. (Matthew 5:44). Therefore, the true worshippers of God are those who put into practice the instructions of God. If we do not abide by the teachings of Our Lord Jesus Christ, then we do not worship God. If God were not pleased with people, who even though they built houses for Him, they continued in their evil deeds, what do you think of yourself who, after Christ has shed His precious blood to cleanse you, and has advised you against evil, yet you continue in sin? I am only reminding you of the words of our Lord Jesus Christ which He spoke thousands of years ago. Here was a man whom the Jews had rejected, and Jerusalem has also rejected. How would He go back to them again? If you were God, would you go back to a people who killed and rejected all your messengers and even your son? I would like you to visit the Jews to prove to yourself that they do not love God. You

may go to the western world, and see the huge cathedrals which were built only in the name of God, now they have all been converted to disco halls, and places of worshipping idols. Then there is this racial segregation. You have been so eaten up by this apartheid policy. The whites do not even love their fellow whites let alone people of other races. There is even no compromise among the churches; and for the churches, truth is non-existent. Yet you spend your money and time to travel abroad in the name of going to worship God. Now I ask you, do those people you go to have God or know God? Come back here in Africa, people bluntly refuse to worship God, rather they go about making charms and injurious concoctions. God does not need anything from us. He does not need our houses or our wealth. All He requires from us is to do His will and possess love, meekness, gentleness, temperance, abstention from fornication, drinking, idolatry, and all other vices. Then I ask, what kind of pastor, or apostle, are you? Now you tell people that in Brotherhood there are no thieves and no fornicators, but a brother or a sister loses his or her handbag at the end of service. How do you convince the fellow that there is God here? This is why it is said that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the Scribes and Pharisees you cannot enter the kingdom of God.(Matthew 5:20). No matter your position, status, or nationality when you come in here, if you are not born anew, you cannot inherit this kingdom. The instruction that Christ received from His Father was that whosoever loved God must also love His brother. Whosoever did not love the human being he sees with his naked eyes, can he say he loves God?(1 John 4:20). This is not a time that you can deceive anyone by saying

that you can go to Biakpan to worship God. HE CAN ONLY BE SEEN IN YOUR CHARACTER. GOD IS NOT IN CALABAR, BIAKPAN, NIGERIA, OR IN AFRICA. HE DWELLS WITHIN YOU, AND IF YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO PRACTICE THE WORD OF GOD, THAT MEANS YOU HAVE GOD WITHIN YOU. DO NOT ALLOW PEOPLE TO DECEIVE YOU THAT GOD IS IN ANY TOWN OF THE UNIVERSE BECAUSE YOU ARE THE HOUSE AND PLACE OF GOD. The scriptures tell us that the dwelling place of God is with men. (Revelation 21:3). God will be our Father and we are His children. The Bible says we should not love in words but in deeds, i.e. actions. Jesus says it is not those who call him Lord, Lord, that will enter the kingdom of God, but those who do His will. (Matthew 7:21). First Bible Lesson: Matthew 23:37-39 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord. Brethren, have you heard the words of God? You shall not see me henceforth till you shall say, Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord. You see what deceived the people of old? Since the scriptures had said that when the son God will come nobody will know His father and mother, so when Our Lord came they refused to accept Him because they knew His parents.(Matt 13:55/John 7:27). John came and was killed. Jesus came and was killed. Jeremiah and all the prophets of old were killed by these same Jews. So Brethren take this text and sleep over it; and you will see its implications. What

do you gain from persecuting the children of God? When Pilate asked whom he should release, whether Jesus or Barabbas, the Jews exclaimed, give us Barabbas and crucify Jesus. They even went to the extent of saying let His blood be on us, on our children, and on to our grandchildren.(Matt 27:21-25) Now, is that wish of theirs not manifesting on them? You will now see that about seventy years after the ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ, Israel wanted independence, but the Romans refused; and since they insisted, the Jews were wiped out by the Romans, leaving only ninety thousand; and this number was scattered to other parts of the world so that these Jews would not regroup to plan a counter-offensive. Now with this, tell me when God will go back to live in Jerusalem? Do you realize that up till now Israel is still at war with the Arabs? This is why it is said, even if the two palms are clasped together, the evil doer will never go unpunished. (Prov 11:21). WHATEVER YOU DO OUT OF YOUR OWN VOLITION, WHEN NOT DIRECTED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, GOD LEAVES YOU TO YOURSELF. BUT HE WILL FIRMLY STAND BY YOU IF HE CALLS YOU TO DO THAT THING. Is it not surprising that although Jesus came from Jerusalem, the Jews do not believe anything you tell them about Christianity? Surprisingly the Holy Spirit has revealed to the advanced nations that God is here in Africa, yet you here still waste your time and money to go to Jerusalem and Mecca in the name of going to see God. What do you think you will find there when the Holy Spirit is here in Africa? Your major duty now is to spread this good news to all the Western and advanced countries; and if they accept them, they will see peace, because up till date, they have not

accepted that Christ has come to the world. The laws and prophets had said that Elijah would precede the coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ. They still have not believed Elijah has come, so how will they believe that Jesus Christ has come? Since the Jews knew Elijah and his photograph, they were sure of themselves that the day he would come, they would see him since he will be the true resemblance of the portrait they had kept. With this foolish idea, they refused to believe that Christ had come, since the Elijah they knew had not come. But Elijah had reincarnated in John the Baptist (Matthew 11:14), whom they killed. And so when Jesus came they killed Him, saying that He was not the expected Messiah. Therefore, Brethren, to think that Jesus Christ can be born again in Jerusalem is a big fallacy. This is why the scriptures say that they will not see God again until they proclaim, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of Lord. You should not resist weeping if you visit Jerusalem now, because of the sorrowful situation the Jews have put themselves in. And I tell you that the mere sight of their present position will convince you to worship God if you had not decided to do so. Do you not realize that this gospel of the kingdom should have come from them? But today is the result not to the contrary? So Brethren, I am telling you that God is everywhere; but He reveals Himself only to those who abide by His teachings. God is a respecter of no person.(Acts 10:34). If you had the intention of going to Jerusalem to see God, then you will go in darkness, and only go there to crucify Our Lord Jesus Christ a second time. Whoever does not abide by the precepts of our Lord Jesus, fights against Him. Therefore, you have to carry this gospel to all parts of the world and to Jerusalem also. Tell them that the Holy

Spirit has come; and if they accept, the peace of God will come onto them. It is wise that you go there but let your mission be to show them the truth about the kingdom, and not with the aim of worshipping God there. This is because the truth is not found there. There is only one thing you can learn from them, and that is that you should not commit any act of sinfulness so that you do not fall victim to the kind of fate they have found themselves victims of. The Spirit has a reason for arranging your pilgrimage to Jerusalem: it is neither to enable you see Jesus, Joseph, Abraham but to enable you to learn a lesson when you see the position God has placed those who first refused to accept Him. Since it was said that when the Lord comes, no one will know His parents, (John 7:27), it is now your duty to go and tell the people that the Holy Spirit has come, and that all must learn to love and refrain from all evil, and follow righteousness. Go and bear the testimony that the Holy Spirit whom the Lord Jesus Christ promised has come and so they just have to refrain from their old ways of life, and follow God. Your going to Mecca is not for you to go and learn or worship God but to go and announce this message. You are to go around the whole world, and announce this news, and not to stay in a particular place, since God has no headquarters. DO NOT SAY THAT GODS HEADQUARTERS IS AT CALABAR OR LAGOS OR ANYWHERE, BECAUSE HIS HEADQUARTERS IS LOVE, PEACE, MEEKNESS, HOLINESS, GENTLENESS, TEMPERANCE, LONG SUFFERING; AND EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU WHO RECEIVES THE WORDS OF GOD CONSTITUTES THE HEADQUARTERS OF GOD. THEREFORE, IT IS A MISTAKE TO SAY YOU ARE GOING TO CALABAR OR BIAKPAN OR ANYWHERE ELSE TO SEE GOD. This is because wherever you go you will see thieves,

fornicators, juju-men, drunkards, and all types of evil men, and you cannot be convinced that there is God there. If you go to Jerusalem, Mecca, Britain, or America, you will find these same kind of people; and so if God should have any headquarters it should be devoid of evil. But here we are. This is why the Bible says not all who call me Lord, Lord, shall enter the Kingdom of God, but those who do the will of God. (Matthew 7:21). The Holy Spirit has come to lead you into the knowledge of truth, and this knowledge of truth is to refrain from fornication, drinking, juju-making, falsehood, envy, and all manners of evil. TELL THEM ABOUT THE PRESENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT ON EARTH AND WARN THEM TO REFRAIN FROM WORSHIPPING IDOLS AND FROM VICES. THE ONLY PROBLEM FACING YOU IN THE EXECUTION OF THIS ASSIGNMENT IS THAT YOU, ALSO, HAVE NOT REFRAINED FROM EVIL; AND THIS TRUTH IS NOT SEEN IN YOU. And if this truth is not seen in you, how can the people you are going to preach to believe what you are going to tell them? LET THIS GOSPEL DWELL IN YOU SO THAT AS YOU TAKE THIS GOSPEL TO THEM THEY WILL SEE THE HOLY SPIRIT IN YOU, AND BELIEVE YOUR WORDS. I HAVE TOLD YOU THAT THIS GOSPEL MUST BE PREACHED THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE BEFORE THE END COMES. So you are debtors to Jerusalem, Mecca, and all the world because you have not taken this gospel to them. A very great percentage of the world is in darkness, because they have not heard this gospel; and it is your duty to take it to them, so that they may see the light. Tell the people of the world to love one another, and to forsake the spirit of apartheid since there is no division in Christ. Extend this news to the Arabs, the Russians, the Jews and to the whole world. Tell the Russians and the Americans that they must

stop the production of atomic bombs since God does not want these things. Tell them to stop producing and taking drugs, tell them to forsake fornication, drinking, quarrelling, fighting, and all vices. Rather they should seek the Holy Spirit, and in worshipping Him, they should worship Him in spirit and in truth. This spirit is truth, love, meekness, patience, long-suffering, peace, gentleness, and all good qualities. That was why the Samaritan woman told our Lord that when the Messiah would come, He would teach them all things. But Jesus replied: I standing here am He. This proves that the world does not know the correct way of worshipping the Lord. In the years gone by, people used to offer sacrifices in the bush, thinking that they were worshipping God. But this was a mistake. Abraham was asked to sacrifice his son to God; but I tell you that did not constitute the worship of God. In order to correct these misconceptions, Christ came; and from then, anyone who indulged in these acts has become covered in darkness. Thus Jesus said: Believe me, a time shall come when neither here nor in Jerusalem shall men worship God. Christ came with the accurate knowledge of truth to teach the world. You cannot say you have the Spirit when you tell visions of prophesy. Worshipping God in spirit and in truth means carrying out every bit of the instructions of God; and anyone who defaults in any of these instructions is the least in the kingdom of God. But whoever does and teaches others to keep these laws, shall be regarded as the greatest in the Kingdom of God. Do not bother yourselves about how to get to Lagos or Mecca or Jerusalem to do the work of God, but bother yourself about how to practice the laws which will lead you to the kingdom of God. IF ANYONE COMPELS YOU TO FOLLOW HIM TO ANYWHERE TO WORSHIP GOD, DO NOT

GO; FOR GOD IS NOT FOUND THERE; AND IF HE SAYS THERE IS POWER HERE OR THERE, DO NOT BELIEVE EITHER. Here in Brotherhood, you do not need to go to any special place to get the Holy Spirit. This is because the Holy Spirit exists everywhere, and all you need to do is to abide by the instructions, and the power comes automatically. Second Bible Lesson: John 4: 21-23 Jesus said unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. Brethren have you heard that? This is where Christ said that God is a Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth. Those in any synagogue have to travel from place to place to propound the ideology of the kingdom to everyone. God is the Word, the Word is God, and the only way you can worship God in spirit and in truth is to have this Word in you, and to teach others to do the same. Whoever does not preach the word of God, does not practice the word, and does not worship God. We are the custodians of the key, and so, we must be examples of truth. The children of this kingdom are those who go out and preach the gospel and show people the truth of this kingdom. Preach, forbidding people from drinking, smoking, fornicating, hatred, quarrelling, taking people to court, and all other vices. Outside this, there is no kingdom. You call yourself a pastor, or a child of God, but you keep offering drink to people, what type of a pastor are you?

The real children of God neither drink nor offer drinks to others. Indeed, the greatest of all duties on earth is to practice the Word of God and possess Love. If you read the Old Testament from Genesis to Malachi, you will see that it consists of the work of the prophets, and the people who study these books do not do the works of God. But when Christ came, He accomplished the works of the Old Testament. That is why the work of God has been revealed to the world. But for our Lord Jesus Christ, no one would have believed in the teachings of the Old Testament. Remember that before the New Testament came into being, there were other books by the prophets; and that is why they are referred to as the Old Testament. Therefore, from Genesis to Malachi is referred to as Old Testament, while Matthew to Revelation is the New Covenant, and is referred to as the gospel. And so do not waste time to read the Old Testament unless you have not been circumcised. It is now your duty to practice every bit of the gospel; for this is the only way to worship God in spirit and in truth. They forget that as soon as they based their learning on the books from Genesis to Malachi, they are completely covered in darkness. They have forgotten that the time of that old covenant is passed. We are now completely in the new covenant. God is a Spirit and where the spirit of God is there is deliverance. (2 Cor 3:17). What you see here is the glory of the kingdom of God. All of us here are one. Here we have no woman, no man, no slave, no citizen, no rich, no poor. Everybody is equal and linked with this spirit of love. This kingdom of God does not belong to the blacks alone, neither does it belong to the whites alone. It is not for Africa alone neither is it for Europe alone. It belongs to the entire creation of God: the fishes in

the waters, the birds of the air, the animals in the bush, human beings, trees, and what have you. THE HEADQUARTERS OF THIS NEW KINGDOM IS NOT IN BIAKPAN, NOR IS IT IN CALABAR, CROSS RIVER STATE, NIGERIA, OR AFRICA, OR EVEN IN THE WESTERN OR EASTERN WORLDS. THE HEADQUARTERS IS IN YOU, IT IS LOVE; AND WE ALL ARE IN THAT LOVE. REMEMBER THE GOSPEL WHICH SAYS, WE ARE WAITING FOR A NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH, WHEREIN DWELLETH RIGHTEOUSNESS.(2 Peter 3:13) Now it is righteousness that rules the entire creation of God. Whatever rank you hold here or in any other denomination, (whether you are an elder, a Pastor, Bishop, or an Apostle), REMEMBER THAT IT IS ONLY THE HOLY SPIRIT AND RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT TAKE DOMINION OVER ALL THE CREATIONS OF GOD. Do not belabor yourself on how you will open a Bethel for God, or how you will be able to build a healing home for God. What should preoccupy your mind is how you could perform acts of righteousness. That is all. If God wants to build a bethel or a healing home for Himself, He will do so. You will remember that Solomon built a house for God, but what does the gospel say? It says Jehovah God does not dwell in the house built by man. The heaven is His throne and the earth is His footstool. What type of house can you build for God? Is it not my hands that created all things?(Acts 7:47-50). If God wanted a house, would he call you to come and build it for Him? I am his own house, all of us here and everywhere are His own house which He built for His residence. Why do you want to return to Egypt to go and revive all those outmoded ways of worship which God has decreed should never be practiced? Moses and all the

people of old went into bondage, and practiced all those profane methods of worship. Why do you want to go back and follow them and do what they did and provoke God to anger? People go to Mecca because they do not know what they go to worship there. Our Lord Jesus Christ had said that a time will come when people will not go to the mountain or Jerusalem to worship God. (John 4:21). I AM NOT TELLING YOU THAT YOU SHOULD COME AND STAY HERE IN THIS HALL TO WORSHIP GOD. NO! THE GOSPEL WE PREACH HERE, ALL THE PAMPHLETS WE PUBLISH, IF YOU READ THEM, AND YOU PRACTICE ALL THE INJUNCTIONS WRITTEN THEREIN, YOU WILL BE WORSHIPPING GOD IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH. THAT IS WHY IT IS VERY NECESSARY FOR THESE GOSPELS TO WRITTEN DOWN, TRANSLATED IN ALL LANGUAGES, AND PUBLISHED. NO DATES SHOULD BE PUT ON THEM FOR THESE GOSPELS WILL LAST TILL ETERNITY. READ AND PRACTICE THE GOSPELS, AND YOU WILL BE WORSHIPPING GOD IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH. You are not to bow down to any idol or fetish object, you are not to perform sacrifices, you are not to go round perpetuating lies and falsehood. You are to practice every bit of the word of God. It is only by so doing that you can worship God in spirit and in truth. Remember that young lawyer who went to Our Lord Jesus Christ and asked Him, what shall I do to inherit everlasting life? What did Christ tell the lawyer? He told him, Love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, with all thine power and with all thy soul. That was the first commandment. The second was, Love thy neighbor as thyself. All the laws of the prophets hang on these two laws. (Matthew 22:37-40). Some people say God has ten laws. That is not true. God does not have ten laws.

Is God ten? Definitely He is not. Some other people say that the laws of God are so many that you cannot count them. This is not true. The laws of God are not so many. There are only two laws as I have told you. IT IS NOT UNTIL YOU GO AMONG THIEVES, DANCE, AND SING WITH THEM THAT YOU WORSHIP GOD IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH. STAYING IN THE CHURCH LIKE THIS IS NOT WORSHIPPING GOD EITHER. THE CHILDREN OF GOD ARE THOSE WHO PRACTICE THE INJUNCTIONS OF GOD. ALL THOSE WHO ABIDE BY THE INSTRUCTIONS OF GOD CANNOT COMMIT SIN. THEREFORE, THE WORD OF GOD PROTECTS THEM AND NO EVIL CAN COME NEAR THEM. Do not allow anything at this end of time to cause you to deviate from the path of rectitude. ALL THOSE WHO DO NOT WANT TO FOLLOW THIS INSTRUCTION, AND DO NOT WANT TO KEEP THE LAWS AND COMMANDMENTS OF GOD, BUT RATHER GLORY IN TORMENTING THE CHILDREN OF GOD, THIS IS THE TIME FOR THEIR SUFFERING. THIS IS THE TIME THAT THE SHEEP ARE GOING TO BE SEPARATED FROM THE GOATS. So, we have to hear the word of God, speak the word of God, and practice the word of God. The word of God says, Today if you hear his voice, do not harden your heart. (Hebrews 4:7).So all the gospels which you are given here, day in and day out, put every bit into practice After that you shall be the true worshippers of God, and those who worship God in spirit and in truth. Golden Text: Matthew 21:40-41 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will He do unto those husbandmen? They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their

seasons. Brethren, are those words not fulfilled today? The gospel says when the owner of the vineyard will come, what will he do to those wicked husbandmen who had killed all the prophets, stoned many more to death, and even killed His only begotten son? They replied and said unto Him that he will kill all the wicked husbandmen, dispossess them of the vineyard, and give it to another nation which will yield good fruits unto Him. Have you not seen today that God has dispossessed them of His vineyard, and has handed it over to another nation who bears good fruits to God? Do you not see that He has taken the kingdom from Jerusalem, this very Jerusalem that had destroyed all the prophets, right from the time of Abel to Zacharias, and even killed Our Lord Jesus Christ? Jerusalem did all those murderous acts, and God has taken the kingdom from them, and has handed it over to another race that will bear Him good fruits. GOD IS NOT INTERESTED IN THE COLOR OF A MANS SKIN OR HIS LANGUAGE. HE IS ONLY INTERESTED IN THOSE WHO OBEY HIS COMMANDMENTS. THIS MESSAGE COMES FROM THE HIGH HEAVENS. IT IS THE MESSAGE FROM THE MOST HIGH GOD TO JERUSALEM AND ITS SURROUNDINGS. THIS MESSAGE SHOULD BE PRINTED AND IMMEDIATELY SENT TO THEM, INFORMING THEM OF THE GOSPEL THAT PROVES GODS CONSISTENCY. Because they had killed the prophets sent to save them, and even killed the only begotten Son of God, God will take the kingdom away from them, and give it to any nation that will bear good fruits. This gospel reveals that this has been fulfilled today. An adage says, no matter how tightly the two hands are clasped together, a sinner will never escape punishment.(Prov 11:21). You see, this Jerusalem which had

killed Abel, up to Zacharias and even killed Our Lord Jerusalem was cursed by Our Lord Jesus Christ saying, Ye shall see me no more. I have left your city to you as a desert, until you shall proclaim, Blessed is He who cometh in the name of the Lord. Do you not see what is happening now? The war that has been raging between the Arabs and the Israelis, do you not know that it is the work of God? The only option open to the children of God here is to go to Jerusalem, not to go and visit and admire its historical monuments, graves, and cathedrals, but to go and impart to them this good news, peradventure they would say, Blessed is He who cometh in the name of the Lord, and be saved. Let the Jews not take pride in their historical past, their Cathedral built by Solomon, the graves of David, Abraham, Jacob or Isaac. They should not claim to be owners of the kingdom by virtue of being the sons of Abraham, Isaac or Jacob. No! Rather they should repent and proclaim, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord, in order to receive the last condition for forgiveness from God; for the kingdom they have long been boasting about that they have, had long been taken away from them. Brethren, do you see that God is no respecter of persons? (Acts 10:34). Therefore, the moment He calls you, do not harden your heart and consequently perish as the people of old did and perished. The gospel says, Did the Israelites stumble in order to fall? The scripture also says, No! it was because of their sins, salvation came to the Gentiles. Some people used to say, God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob. This is quite inapplicable today. HE IS TODAY A UNIVERSAL GOD, AND NO MORE A GOD OF THE ISRAELITES. GOD IS NOW YOUR OWN GOD, MY OWN GOD, AND GOD OF EVERYBODY. SO USE THIS CHANCE TO

PRACTICE THE WORD OF GOD SO THAT YOU MIGHT BE SAVED. Many people do not even know the cause of tribulations, troubles and wars in that part of the world. The Israelites and the Arabs have engaged themselves in a long drawn out war for years now. This is the result of what they did. THIS IS TO PROVE TO YOU THAT THE OWNER OF THE VINEYARD HAS COME BY HIMSELF, AND THIS IS THE REWARD HE HAS COME TO GIVE THEM. THE GOSPEL SAYS THAT JEHOVAH GOD KNOWS HOW TO COME TO THE RESCUE OF THOSE WHO ACCEPT HIM AND ALSO KNOWS HOW TO KEEP THOSE WHO DISOBEY HIM IN PERPETUAL PUNISHMENT. THIS VERY GOSPEL SHOULD BE TRANSLATED INTO ALL LANGUAGES, PRINTED, AND DISTRIBUTED TO ALL THE CHURCHES AND RELIGIONS ALL OVER THE WORLD SO THAT THEY MAY KNOW THE REWARD FOR WICKEDNESS, AND THE FULFILLMENT OF THE WORDS OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. DO NOT SAY WITHIN YOUR HEART THAT YOU HAVE GOT LOVE. HOW CAN YOU GET LOVE WHEN YOU DO NOT HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT? IT WAS WRITTEN THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL LEAD. WHAT IS LEADING US NOW IS THE HOLY SPIRIT. THE GOSPEL SAYS AN AXE HAS BEEN LAID AT THE FOOT OF THE TREE AND THE TREE THAT DOES NOT BEAR GOOD FRUITS SHALL BE HEWN DOWN. ALL THE TROUBLES AND PERSECUTIONS GOING ON NOW, EVERYWHERE, IN THE WORLD, ARE A RESULT OF GODS JUDGEMENT ON THE WHOLE WORLD. Our main duty now is to pray fervently to God to forgive the sins that the Arabs, the Israelis, the entire Jerusalem and its environs, and the entire world for what they did. The scripture says that what was done to the Israelites will be done to the Gentiles. You

should learn your own lesson from this event, and know that God is no respecter of persons. IF THE GENTILES ON THE OTHER HAND DO NOT LEARN THEIR LESSON, AND THUS GO AGAINST THE INSTRUCTIONS OF GOD, GOD WILL NOT MIND TAKING AWAY THE KINGDOM FROM THEM AND GIVING IT BACK TO THE ORIGINAL OWNERS, THE ISRAELITES, OR ANY OTHER NATION THAT WILL BEAR HIM GOOD FRUITS. BECAUSE THE SCRIPTURE SAYS, FROM THE TIME OF JOHN, THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS OBTAINED BY VIOLENCE (MATTHEW 11:12); AND IT IS ONLY THE STRONG WILLED WHO INHERITS IT. Today, have you seen the difference between what happened in Israel and what is happening in this part of the world? Today, are people not colluding among themselves and trying to fight against the Holy Spirit? Is the whole world not contemplating, and saying among themselves that Jesus will fall from the sky like a bird? Do you know that your trip to Jerusalem will mean going to redeem them? Because as soon as you go and tell them and they proclaim saying, Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord, they will immediately receive their forgiveness and salvation. God has given a very long gap for you to repent and receive the word of God, but have you? Have you not realized the work of the Holy Spirit? Your visit to Jerusalem is primarily, for you to go, and if in doing so, they proclaim saying, Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord, they will immediately receive remission of their sins, and would be readmitted into the kingdom of God. In doing this you should also be very careful, so that you yourself may not fall short of the glory of God and perish, because God is like a prostitute and does not waste time going to anyone who wants Him.

Remember what Our Lord Jesus Christ said to Chorazin and Bethsaida. He said if the type of work that I do in you had been done in Sodom and Gomorrah, those two cities would not have perished. Remember Our Lord Jesus Christ did mighty works in Chorazin and Bethsaida, but when He came back to those cities, He realized that not one person repented. (Matt 11:21-24). Now, look at this part of the world. Look at the mighty work God is doing in this city in the Cross River State, in Nigeria, and in the entire world. If this type of work was done in Jerusalem do you not think they would have repented? Now is the time for you to go to Mecca, Russia, India, and many other places, because you have the children of God existing everywhere. If you go to any place and they do not accept you flee from there and go to another place. If Mecca does not accept you, go to a place in Africa. If Africa does not accept you, go to the Western world. This kingdom will be taken away from anybody or nation, and given to any nation that will be prepared to bear Him good fruits. Do not rejoice in your hearts saying, this kingdom is in Calabar, Cross River State, or that it comes out of my family, because so did the Israelites say; but did not believe in the kingdom they proclaimed; and so the kingdom was taken away from them. You who continue to persecute the children of God, you who continue to have a stone heart, you who continue to be wicked, you who continue to kill the prophets of God, take ample lesson from this very example of Jerusalem. The Israelites openly declared saying, Let the Blood of Christ be upon us, upon our children and our childrens children and all the future generations. What has happened today? That blood is exactly on their heads. If this present generation has any wisdom and takes a cue from what happened to the

people of old, they should humble themselves and the injunctions of God. The gospel says, just as from one man sin came into the world, it is also from one man, Our Lord Jesus Christ, salvation came to the whole world.(Romans 5:19). So as you go there, it will be you who will liberate the whole place. It is therefore our supreme task to go to the Western world with this good message, this good news of glad tidings. Go to the rest of Africa, to America and to all parts of the world with this good news, informing them that the Holy Spirit has arrived, and that the whole world should worship God in Spirit and in truth. This is no more time for wickedness; it is not the time for fornicating and committing adultery; it is not time for drinking and getting drunk; it is not the time for all sorts of outrageous acts. This is the time for practical Christianity. It is the time to liberate the whole world and remove them from acts of sin and unrighteousness. The gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ says, How many people will have a hundred sheep but one is lost and he will not leave the ninety-nine others and go in search of the one sheep which got lost? When he finds that lost sheep, he would be so happy that he would celebrate the find with a big feast and invite all his friends to partake of this feast. (Matthew 18:12- 13). The position is the same today. It is now our duty to go to the lost sheep everywhere in the world. We are to go and liberate them, and by so doing there will be a great joy in this kingdom for every service of redemption extended to the lost children of God. Let all those who have ears to hear, hear the Word of God. May God bless His Holy Words. Amen! THANK YOU HOLY FATHER Christ Will Not Come Again From Jerusalem

BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU THE SUPERNATURAL TEACHER AND THE SOLE SPIRITUAL HEAD BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR

A CHURCH GOER IS NOT A CHRISTIAN

FIRST BIBLE LESSON: JOHN 4: 21 "Jesus said unto her: Woman believe me the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor at Jerusalem, worship the Father." SECOND BIBLE LESSON: JOHN 14:21 "He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it that loveth me; and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him." GOLDEN TEXT: JOHN 13:35 "By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples if ye have love one to another."

This significant gospel is an embodiment of the work expected to be done by every Christian. Be not deceived by any person to visit Jerusalem, or to be called a Christian, a Buddhist or a Hindu. Such nomenclatures are useless. When one claims to be a member of Roman Catholic, Apostolic, Methodist or any of the orthodox churches, then it would be construed to mean that he does not understand the gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ. At John 4:21, it is said: "..... the hour cometh when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor at Jerusalem, worship the Father." It is ridiculous therefore, to tell someone that you are

attending one church or the other, and that the church is located miles away. When one claims that one's church is located far away, or that Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is about two or three miles away or cannot be found in the area, from whom did one receive such a teaching? If those who worshiped God on the mountain and in Jerusalem had pleased God, then the statement as recorded at John 4:21 would not have been made. Hence worshipping God is neither done on the mountain nor in Jerusalem. This is in line with the scriptural notation that : "Wherefore, if they say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth, behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the lightening cometh even unto the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall the coming of the Son of man be." (Matt.24:26-27). Just as BCS is wrongfully regarded as a church, most people wrongfully regard 34 Ambo Street, Calabar, as the world headquarters of BCS. However, neither is BCS a Church nor a 34 Ambo Street the Headquarters of BCS. In fact, no place serves as the dwelling place of God, hence worshipping God at any particular place is strongly discouraged. It should be borne in mind that Our Lord Jesus Christ neither attended any church nor recommended any for people and to clarify this point, He said, "....I sanctify, that they also might be sanctified through the truth." (John 17:19). We are the house of God and He dwells in those who keep His commandments. There is no need directing any person to any building; for God does not dwell in buildings. Rather He dwells in every sinless individual. You may recall the statement made by Our Lord Jesus Christ when His

disciples drew His attention to the magnificent buildings of the temple at Jerusalem. He said, "Verily I say onto you, there shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down."(Matt 24:2). And true to His words, those buildings which symbolized the work of darkness, were completely demolished. Therefore, if these buildings were symbolically destroyed, why should other ones be erected? Churches are centers of deceit. No church denomination or prayer house practices the true love of God. Claiming to belong to one sect or the other is of no importance. The important thing is for one to forsake sin and adhere strictly to the injunctions of God. Therefore, when Our Lord Jesus Christ said that God shall neither be worshiped on the mountain nor at Jerusalem, He implied that everybody should purify himself and get united with God, the Father. The word of God can be preached at any place. There is no point rebuilding what had been demolished, naming it the house of God. Whoever does this is overshadowed by darkness. Instead of wasting your money in these useless ventures, it is better and more profitable to use it in helping the poor and other less-privileged ones. Remember Our Lord Jesus Christ had instructed that whoever has two coats should give one to the one who has none. Besides, do no evil to anybody, and love all equally. JUST AS THE DISCIPLES OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST DID, EVERY CHRISTIAN IS EXPECTED TO GO FROM PLACE TO PLACE AND DISSEMINATE THE WORDS OF GOD. WHEREVER PEOPLE ARE GATHERED, GO TO SUCH PLACES AND MINISTER UNTO THEM. Do not tell lies, do not steal, do not fornicate, and do not hate or commit any other sin.

Our Lord Jesus Christ had been attending feasts and other functions so as to meet with the afflicted and deliver them. As a Christian, you are therefore expected to do the same. Many people erroneously travel from one place to another in search of where to worship God. Even in this fold, members travel all the way from the Western world to Nigeria, just to worship God. No one believes that man is God's building, His city, and husbandry. This is one of the reasons why man should not hate another man. Whoever loves another invariably loves God. It however does not consist in going to Jerusalem or any other place before it is done; and whoever does this does not know what he is worshipping. Nevertheless, if we follow the doctrines of Our Lord Jesus Christ, our course will be amplified. Most churches today are not practicing the doctrines of Our Lord Jesus Christ. People build houses which attract a congregation of people, tax them, and such proceeds go into the pockets of a few individuals. And this is the place they call the house of God, a place that had been demolished by Jesus Christ. Ponder over this. If your child, named Paul died and on having another child, you named him also Paul and he again died, why would you not change the name when next you have another child? Recall that in the days of Adam, Lot, Abraham, Noah and other patriarchs, there were no church buildings. They knew that God dwells in man and so there was no need erecting other buildings. GOD IS OMNIPRESENT: God is known to be Omnipresent. And if God is Omnipresent what kind of house can one build for Him? What place does one think can accommodate Him? CALL UPON HIM

ANYWHERE YOU ARE, AND HE WILL ANSWER YOU. If one preaches to the Indians that God dwells in a house built by man, he would be laughed at or scorned. If one says that God exists in the East, the pertinent question is, who exist in the West and other places? It is said, "Howbeit the most high dwelleth not in temples made with hands. Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstools; what house will ye build me? Saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest? Hath not my hand made all these things?" Solomon built a temple for God and another for a mermaid. With this, he neither pleased God nor obeyed Him. As such I do not want anyone to do anything that is not pleasing to God. What I desire is for all to maintain pure hearts. God does not require any house to be built for Him. A lot of people boast of building churches for God yet they still continue to steal, fornicate, lie, hate, impute sins on others and indulge in other sins. This in fact is a complete falling away from the injunctions of Our Lord Jesus Christ. The death of Our Lord Jesus became necessary so that the worship of God on mountains or at Jerusalem may stop. It is the height of insult and disgrace to name any building the house of God. Would that be construed to mean that God is so small that He can be accommodated in a house? The world is in a pathetic state. People are ignorant about the presence of God. This explains why Brotherhood members travel from different parts of the world to see the Father at Calabar. As people keep coming here from many parts of the world, if I should move from here to Lagos, would people come to Calabar anymore? If I move from Lagos to London, would people visit Nigeria? If I leave London for India, would people visit London? What kind of

house then would one refer to the buildings at these different places? Brethren, I have led you to the accurate wisdom of the truth. That wisdom of the truth is what I am now teaching you. Do not disturb yourself any longer about building a house for God. Do whatever good you can to your neighbor. Do not tell lies. Do not commit fornication. Do not be angry with any person. Live peaceably with all men. Go from place to place and minister to people. These are what Our Lord Jesus Christ expect of us. It is said ,"Ye are Gods." This refers to man. If men are gods, then they have to possess the rare attributes of love and truth which could only be found in God. In fact, they are the light of the world. Why then should man seek after another God? Wherever man is, there God also dwells. Therefore, whenever one falls sick, speak and he will be healed. Whoever is in lack, or whoever does not believe in God, minister or preach to him. Show him the light and his problems will be over. Read the First Lesson again. FIRST BIBLE LESSON: JOHN 4:21 "Jesus said unto her, woman believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain nor at Jerusalem, worship the Father." WHERE TO WORSHIP GOD: Why did the woman not ask Our Lord Jesus Christ where one can worship the Father? Perhaps, it did not occur to her. One thing peculiar with Our Lord Jesus Christ was that He only offered explanations to only the questions put forward to Him. Therefore, if the woman had asked where God could be worshiped, He would have told her that one

can only worship God within him. AS EARLIER STATED GOD DWELLS WITHIN MAN. HE SPEAKS TO HIM AND DIRECTS HIM ON WHAT TO DO. IN FACT HE DWELLS IN EVERY PERSON. It is for this reason that you are told not to steal, tell lies, commit fornication, smoke, snuff or take any medication. Such things are filthy and capable of defiling the temple of the Most High God. If you defile the temple of God, where then do you expect God to dwell? When Our Lord Jesus Christ was repeatedly making mention of the Father, Philip, one of His disciples asked Him to show them the Father and it would suffice them. Reacting to this question, Jesus said unto him, "Have I not been so long time with you, and yet hath thou not known me Philip? He that hath seen me hath seen the Father, and how sayest thou, show us the Father? Believest thou that I am in the Father and the Father in me? The word that I speak unto you, I speak not of myself, but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works." Those who have been to Jerusalem can attest to the truth that there is no building called church that was built by Our Lord Jesus Christ or any of his disciples. The only buildings there were built by the unbelievers who use such buildings to generate revenue for themselves. Such people had no love. NO truth was found in them. They were not merciful. They disregard other men. The commandments of God were not kept by them. Most of those buildings are now empty. No one is found there. Even in Britain, the magnificent building at Liverpool, built before the 18th Century which is now used by Brotherhood brethren, was abandoned by churchgoers. Some of such buildings are side attractions for the sake of generating revenue. There is nothing in any of such

buildings or places, because Our Lord Jesus Christ had said that the hour cometh when God shall neither be worshiped on the mountain nor at Jerusalem. In BCS, we preach total abstinence from sins. Upon the great multitude of people how many have forsaken sins? Therefore, it is expedient that we build the house of God by purifying ourselves thus refraining from every sin. Brethren it is profitable that we watch our steps for it is said that a child that walks circumspectively can always overcome the thing that killed his father. Brethren, the source of your problem is that, you try to rebuild that which had been demolished. What will you have to preach to people when you indulge in the reconstruction of what Our Lord Jesus Christ had demolished? He had demolished the law and the idea of worshipping at specific places. Church denominations use about one and a half hours for worship yet, they still go about killing, maintaining shrines and sanctum, and offering sacrifices. These are church-goers who profess to worship the true God. Does the worship of God involve killing, stealing and committing other atrocious acts? You may recall the words of Paul the Apostle as recorded at Ist Corinthians 13:3. He said: "And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burnt, and I have not charity, it profiteth me nothing." I am not saying that it is bad for one to build a church and shelter people. If you should build a house and shelter people, you should also "build a house" to shelter God. THIS IS DONE BY REFRAINING FROM EVERY MANNER OF SIN. REALIZE THAT SIN ABOUNDS WHERE MANY PEOPLE ARE GATHERED. THEREFORE, NO MATTER WHAT ONE DOES IF

HE CANNOT BUILD THE HOUSE OF GOD (BY REFRAINING FROM SIN), HE IS MERELY A CHURCH-GOER AND NOT A TRUE CHRISTIAN. Even in BCS some members still cannot practice the teachings as obtained here. Those who practice my teachings are the true baptized members. A great number quarrel, or get exasperated. They do not help the poor and the needy and try to do good to every person. When John said to Our Lord Jesus Christ, "Master we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbade him, because he followeth not with us," what did Our Lord Jesus Christ say to him? He said,"Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us." Many people profess that their parents and brethren are Christians, yet, they do not know the meaning of the word Christian. The word Christian connotes one who practices the commandments of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Those who erect mere buildings and call them churches and ago about committing atrocities are no Christians. They are the anti-Christs. A church-goer is not a Christian. He only practice churchianity. Also, to be religious does not connote Christianity. This is because to be religious implies the adoration for any object. Whatever you love and adore is your religion. However, many people are truly involved in true religion. It is very pathetic and also disgraceful to find out that people now worship buildings. Where then is the essence of Christianity? Why should people still believe that their churches are either located miles apart from where they live, or they cannot get to their church because branches cannot be found in town at all? By holding to such belief, you have contradicted the teachings of Our Lord Jesus Christ and you are an unbeliever and you are

overshadowed in darkness. Recall what Our Lord Jesus Christ told His disciples when they invited Him to dine with them. He said: "I have meat to eat that ye know not of. The disciples wondered if any man had brought him food to eat. Since Jesus the Christ knew their thoughts, He added," My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish His work. Say not ye there are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? Behold, I say unto you, lift up your eyes and look on the fields; for they are ripe already to harvest." Why do you argue that there is no Bethel when you are sent to Russia or to any other place on evangelism? Can you not see how ripe the field is? Many are roaming about without any knowledge of God. There are thieves, liars, fornicators and robbers. They all constitute the field. MAN IS GOD'S HOUSE. Are there no poor people? Do you not have sick people? Are unbelievers not around? Are native doctors and others not the farm that is ready for harvest? Go to them and minister unto them. It serves no useful purpose staying at man-made houses professing to be worshipping God when the fields are ready to be harvested. Recall when a certain woman lifted her voice and said to Jesus the Christ, "Blessed is the womb that bare thee and the paps which thou has sucked." Our Lord Jesus Christ in reply said," Yea rather blessed are they which hear the word of God and keep it." Our Lord Jesus Christ also said: he that hath my commandments and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me, and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and manifest myself unto him." There is no other thing which changes a man like the word of God. When you were a thief, or yet an unbeliever,

indulging in diabology, initiating into secret cults, bearing false witness, drinking liquor, fornicating, hating people, you were ignorant of these offenses; that benefit of doubt granted. But on hearing the words and putting them into practice, neither committing fornication, adultery nor drinking any liquor. It means then that you love Christ, and the Father will love you, and Christ will also love you and will reveal Himself to you. I DO NOT TEACH YOU THAT GOD IS IN THE SECRET CHAMBERS. I DO NOT TEACH YOU THAT GOD IS IN THE HALL, IN THE CATHEDRAL OR OUTSIDE. GOD IS OMNIPRESENT AND I THEREFORE TEACH YOU TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER. IF YOU LOVE ONE ANOTHER YOU WILL NOT STEAL, FORNICATE, GET EXASPERATED, TELL LIES, DRINK LIQUOR, SEGREGATE OR COMMIT ANY SIN BECAUSE LOVE IS THE FULFILLING OF THE LAW. Read the second lesson again: SECOND BIBLE LESSON:JOHN 14:21 "He that hath my commandments and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him." WORSHIPING GOD CONNOTES LOVING ONE ANOTHER: What is God's commandment? Love ye one another even as I have loved you. This is how to worship God. Going to Jerusalem or any other place does not arise. It does not consist in building a house, furnishing it, keeping flowers and decorating all the rooms with the inscription of Jesus. These things mean nothing. It is only a point to the fact that such a person knows not what he worships. If you honor the person you behold, it means you have honored God. If you love the person you see, you are loving

God. You are respecting God if you respect the person you see. When you believe in man, you are invariably believing in God. When you tell the truth or do any good thing to another, you are doing it to God. This is how to worship God. It is said:" Thou shalt have no other Gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thyself any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: thou shalt not bow down thyself to them. Honor thy father and mother. Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not commit adultery. Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. Thou shalt not covert thy neighbor's property." These injunctions are meant for us to keep. These are what it entails to worship God. Do not wear finger rings. Do not have protective charms. Do not use talismans and amulets. Keep nothing in the bedroom. Do not set aside rooms for sanctum and claim that such belong to God. Do not use particular handkerchief. Do not allow falsehood to overcome you. RESPECT AND LOVE EVERY PERSON. DO NOT THINK EVIL OF ANY PERSON. MINISTER TO ANY PERSON IN LACK WHENEVER YOU ARE ABLE. THESE ARE ALL THE THINGS OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WANTS. IF YOU DO THESE THINGS, IT MEANS YOU LOVE CHRIST AND THE FATHER WILL LOVE YOU AND REVEAL HIMSELF TO YOU. Solomon built a temple for God, but married seven hundred wives, and maintained three hundred concubines. He did not harken to the voice of God. He did not only go against God's instructions by building a house for a mermaid, but also worshiped the mermaid. Similarly, a lot of people boast that they have built a house of God. Yet these same people keep on stealing, fornicating, killing and telling

lies. Do they think God dwells there? I do not on the other hand dissuade anyone from building houses. But whoever does not serve God in the right way, is simply wasting his time. What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world and he loses his soul in hell? Even our fore-fathers who ignorantly committed various sins did suffer and they also perished. Now that the Holy Spirit has come and enlightened you, do you want to perish as your fathers did? The money used each year for pilgrimages to Israel, Jerusalem, Mecca and other countries are a waste. BUT THOSE WHO GO ON MINISTRY WORK FOR THE SINGULAR PURPOSE OF PREACHING THE WORD OF GOD, AND MINISTERING TO THE POOR, THEY ARE THE ONES WHO DO WHAT GOD REALLY WANTS. Our Lord Jesus Christ said: "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent to you, how often would I have gathered thy children together as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Behold your house is left desolate unto you. For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord." Now, with this in mind, why should Christians keep on visiting Jerusalem? Does Jerusalem know God, or does God know Jerusalem? WORSHIPING GOD REQUIRES ONE WHO RESPECT HIMSELF, DOES NOT DEFILE HIS FLESH WITH MEN OR WOMEN, DOES NOT BEGRUDGE ANY MAN, DOES NOT DRINK ANY LIQUOR, DOES NOT HATE ANY PERSON, DOES NOT GET ANGRY, BUT ONE WHO SURRENDERS WHOLLY UNTO GOD. HE MUST BE MERCIFUL, ABIDE BY THE INSTRUCTIONS OF GOD, AND LISTEN TO THE SPIRIT. SUCH

IS THE MAN WHO PLEASES GOD. The second Lesson clearly states that he who has the commandments of Our Lord Jesus Christ and keeps them is the one who loves Him and he who loves Him will be loved by His Father, and He Christ will love him and manifest Himself to such a person. If you read through the Bible from Matthew to Revelation of John the Divine, you will not come across any portion of the Bible in which the Holy Spirit advises anyone to build a house for God or go to Jerusalem on pilgrimage. You are expected to listen to the dictates of the Holy Spirit. Whatever you are directed to do by the Holy Spirit, that you do and whatever the Spirit forbids, that must you not do. As at now, the different church buildings erected are left empty. Many bethels built here in Brotherhood are looking for members or people to sweep and keep them tidy. They have been built but there are no people to occupy them. What use do they serve after all? WHAT YOU ARE EXPECTED TO DO IS TO GO TO GATHERINGS, INSTITUTIONS OF LEARNING, CHURCH CONGREGATIONS, COURT ROOMS, STREETS, HOSPITALS, BEACHES, MARKET PLACES AND EVERYWHERE. ANNOUNCE YOUR MISSION TO THE PEOPLE AND YOU WILL WITNESS A GREAT CROWD. SUCH OPPORTUNITIES WILL OCCUR FOR YOU TO PREACH AND GET THE PEOPLE TO REPENT. IN THE PRISONS, MANY ARE EAGER FOR THE WORDS OF GOD. IN THE SCHOOLS, MANY ARE EAGER FOR THE WORD OF GOD. IN THE HOSPITALS, MANY ARE ANXIOUS FOR THE WORD OF GOD. THE LAWYERS, MAGISTRATES AND JUDGES ARE SEEKING FOR THE WORD OF GOD. MANY HOMES ARE WAITING FOR THE WORDS GOD. CAN YOU NOT GO TO THESE PLACES? IF YOU START A HOUSE TO HOUSE EVANGELICAL

TOUR NOW, YOU WILL COME ACROSS SOMEBODY WHO IS ILL AND DESOLATE, WITHOUT ANY PERSON ATTENDING TO HIM. HE MAY HAVE NEITHER BED, PLATES OR CLOTHES TO COVER HIS NAKEDNESS. THAT SITUATION CALLS FOR THE WORK OF GOD. YOU MAY ALSO COME ACROSS SOMEBODY WHO HAS FIVE TO EIGHT CHILDREN, ALL OF THEM SICK BECAUSE OF STARVATION. IF YOU SHOULD GO AND HELP THEM, BY SWEEPING THEIR PLACE OF ABODE IN ADDITION TO GIVING THEM MONEY, YOU WOULD HAVE ACCOMPLISHED A GREAT TASK. IF YOU LIKE YOU CAN GO ALONE. IF YOU PREFER DOING AS OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST INSTRUCTED, YOU CAN GO IN TWOS OR WITH A CHILD, AND MINISTER TO THE LESS-PRIVILEGED AND AFFLICTED, GIVING THEM THE WORD AND WHATEVER HELP YOU CAN GIVE. CONTINUE WITH YOUR FARMING, TRADING AND USE THE PROCEEDS TO HELP THE POOR. WORK FOR THE GOVERNMENT, DO NOT STEAL THEIR MONEY, DO NOT OFFER OR ACCEPT BRIBE. DO NOT COMMIT ANY SIN. KEEP THE INJUNCTIONS OF GOD AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER. Our Lord Jesus Christ said, "Where two or three are gathered in my name, I am with them. He also said where two or three are gathered, ask in my name and I will do it for you." What is His name? Is it Jesus, Christ or Jehovah? It is love. Wherever you are, you are with Him. If you have love, you will not tell lies, get exasperated, look disdainfully at any person, or commit any evil. You will rather humble yourself. Pray to Him wherever you are and He will answer. He will reveal Himself to you wherever you are. The idea of running to a place called Bethel before having your request

granted does not arise. The idea of rushing to be on time to attend a church service does not come into estimation. What do you mean by church service in the first instance? Attending church service on Sundays is likened to consulting an oracle. Whenever you help a person and whoever the person may be, that is your neighbor. Whether you come across a person who is in trouble while walking along the street, if you are better off, help the person. The person is your neighbor and you are rendering services unto God. That is the worshiping of God. Obedience is better than sacrifice. Brethren, I do not intend to belabor you let our Golden Text be read. GOLDEN TEXT: JOHN 13: 36 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. LOVE IS THE TRUE IDENTITY CARD: HAVE YOU HEARD THAT? THIS IS WHAT HE MEANT WHEN HE SAID THAT THE TIME IS COMING WHEN YE SHALL NEITHER IN THIS MOUNTAIN, NOR AT JERUSALEM WORSHIP THE FATHER. YE WORSHIP YE KNOW NOT WHAT. IF YOU CONGREGATE IN THE HOUSE YOU BUILT, WITHOUT SHOWING THE EXPRESSION OF LOVE ONE TO ANOTHER, YOU LOVE NEITHER YOUR CHILD, NOR YOUR SISTER, NOR YOUR BROTHER, NOR YOUR HUSBAND, NOR YOUR NEIGHBOR, NOR ANYTHING FOR THAT MATTER, CAN YOU REALIZE THAT YOU WORSHIP WHAT YOU KNOW NOT? You may pay your way to America for the sole purpose of learning the word of God and stay there for five years duration to accomplish it. Thereafter, you will come back without loving your brother, or yourself, or your children, or any person. Do you not realize that you were simply wasting

your time? You do not even know what you worship. If you love every person, then you are a true disciple of Our Lord Jesus Christ. But the orthodox churches proclaim themselves Christians. You who show the expression of love are called non-Christians. How do they know that you are not Christian? Have they read what the Bible says? There is no Church denomination which shows the expression of love to the brethren. Upon the number of prayer houses, service centers and church denominations, there is nobody who loves the other. That being the case, whoever loves his fellow man is the Christian. He is the one God loves and he is the person who does the work of God. No matter what you do, even if the inscription of Jesus or Jehovah or Christ or God or Savior is written all over you, it avails you nothing. If you do not love the brethren, it means you do not know what you are worshiping. I do not believe in this organ or any other furniture. What I believe in is that whoever loves God is a Christian. IF YOU CALL YOURSELF A BISHOP OR POPE, OR ARCH- BISHOP OF CANTERBURY, OR REVEREND GENTLEMAN, OR ELDER, OR ANY OTHER GLORIOUS NAMES, THEY MEAN NOTHING TO ME. The different church denominations like Church of God, Church of the Lord, Church of Jehovah are all useless. The basic ingredient in this doctrine is to keep the commandment of love ye one another. Go neither to Jerusalem nor to Oron. Feel free and do your farming and trading and you will still be a Christian. If you do not love your brother whom you see physically, how can you love God whom you will not see. Whoever loves his brethren loves God. Whoever loves God must love the brethren. That is what I believe in. We must have love. If we have love that is all. If you build a house,

you are simply building a place for us to sit in and disturb. But do not regard it as having done a great job. Whatever house you build is for man. If you lock up the house after building it, and you do not allow any person to enter, you have worsened the case. Unfortunately, the church denominations have built cathedrals and have them locked up till after seven days, when they spend about one hour thirty minutes. Outside this period no person enters. This is indicative of the fact that they do not know what they are worshiping. Brethren, let us know and believe in the words of Our Lord Jesus Christ that you shall neither in Jerusalem nor in Calabar nor in Biakpan, or in 34 Ambo Street Calabar, nor in Lagos nor in any other country worship the Father. IF WE LOVE ONE ANOTHER, ALL WILL KNOW THAT WE ARE THE CHILDREN OF GOD. Brethren, I do not intend to be tedious unto you. It is said that a stroke of the cane is sufficient unto the wise. He who has ears, let him hear. May God bless His Holy Words. Amen.
