STATEMENTS BY LEADER
OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
WAKE UP AFRICA:
Do you mean to argue that it is not the God
who created the Russians, the Americans, the Britons
the Israelites, the Arabs, who created you in Africa?
Do you have another God? Have you sworn not to be
independent? Do you not want to find your feet on the
ground? It is incumbent upon you to worship God in
spirit and in truth. Is there no person in Africa who has
found favor with God? I want you Africans to question
yourselves on this issue.
LIBERTY IS FOUND IN THE LORD:
If you recall the experience of many black
people during the colonial period you will now realize
the difference between being liberated and being
bound. The Africans were subdued and exploited to the
fullest. Both human and material resources of most
parts of Africa were exploited for the development of
Europe. But after many decades of colonialism, the
African got up and started the struggle for
independence, and finally got independence.
Nevertheless, with independence followed
republicanism, things became worse than ever before
among the Africans. The much cherished freedom was
a mirage rather than a reality, and many Africans lived
in abject poverty, fear of oppression and victimization
by their fellow Africans.
After this period came the era of military rule
in many African states, and the problem of a new lease
on life for the people. Here in Nigeria, the country was
broken into twelve states along tribal lines and further
broken into many parts, all in the hope of giving the
people a greater sense of freedom.
However, that did not solve the problem; for
more and more communities group themselves
together to clamor for states and local government
authorities. Now the problem continues.
The solution to the problems of life does not
depend on the type of government in power or on any
particular group of people or community, but on the
acceptance of the Holy Spirit as the Only Leader and
Guide in the world. You may decide to exclude yourself
from the rest of society and live in a very isolated place,
yet, problems will be found there as soon as you settle
down. Whether you live alone, or in a larger society,
the problems of lack of freedom still exist wherever you
are.
The only solution to human suffering
is to walk according to the directives of the
Holy Spirit. Unless we are led by the Spirit,
the situation in the world will never
improve.
That is why I am pleading with you to
surrender yourselves to be led by the Holy Spirit. The
Holy Spirit is life, good health, wealth, the kingdom of
God and everything good.

BIBLE WITNESSES
FIRST BIBLE WITNESS:
GENESIS 2:8-15
8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward
in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had
formed.
9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to
grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good
for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden,
and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
10 And a river went out of Eden to water the
garden; and from thence it was parted, and became
into four heads.
11 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which
compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is
gold;
12 And the gold of that land is good: there is
bdellium and the onyx stone.
13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: the
same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.
14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel:
that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And
the fourth river is Euphrates.
15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him
into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
SECOND BIBLE WITNESS:
ROMANS 9:25-26
As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people,
which were not my people; and her beloved, which was
not my beloved. And it shall come to pass, that in a
place where it is said unto them, Ye are not my people,
there shall they be called the children of the living God.

WHITHER AFRICA?
(WHAT IS NIGERIA'S IDEOLOGY?)
First Bible Lesson: John 14:26
"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost,
whom the Father will send in my name, he shall
teach you all things, and bring all things to your
remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you."
Second Bible Lesson: Galatians 5:22-23
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Meekness, temperance: against such there is no
law."
Golden Text: John 4:23
"But the hour cometh, and now is, when the
true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit
and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship
him."
Brethren, this gospel is delivered on the occasion
of the celebration of the 26th Anniversary of Nigeria's
Independence. It is meant to commemorate that
celebration. This is a time when Nigerians should worship
God in spirit, in truth, in love, in patience, in humility, in
mercy, in goodness, in self control, and in meekness,
because against these virtues there is no law (Gal 5:23).
Heaven and earth will pass away, but the word of God will
not pass away forever.(Matt 24:35/Mark 13:31).

With Independence, Nigerians Are Right To Worship
God In Spirit And In Truth
When Nigerians were under the colonial rule, they
were slaves to the foreign laws, they could neither express
the love of God nor do anything as they loved, but now
Our Lord Jesus Christ has liberated all Nigerians. What,
therefore, prevents us from following after the Spirit
which is righteousness, love, mercy, truth, humility,
meekness, joy, because all of us are Brotherhood.
Nigeria is a very important country loved by
God. Africa is also loved by God. He loves the whole
world as well, but Our Lord Jesus Christ begins to count
his numerals from one. He elects people singly, in twos
and threes, until he elects all.
The prophecy just read is directly referring to
Nigeria and indeed, Africa. The prophecy says, "But the
hour cometh and now is, when the true worshippers
shall worship the Father in Spirit and in truth; for the
Father seeks such to worship Him.(John 4:23)
As that Samaritan woman has said, "Our Fathers
worshipped on this mountain; and you say that in
Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship." Our
Lord Jesus Christ said to her, "Woman, believe me, the
hour cometh when ye shall neither on this mountain,
nor yet at Jerusalem worship the Father. You worship
what you do not know, we worship what we know for
salvation is of the Jews." (John 4:21-22)
The Right Of People's Self Determination
Republicanism means freedom, the expression of
the right to self determination, to be independent. To have
right to self determination means the freedom to know
what and how to worship, how to govern, how to do any
other things self-independently. Right now, Nigerians
have embraced Catholicism of the Christian Religion, and
Mohammedanism. They have also imbibed some other
foreign religious cultures and ideologies. But the pertinent
question is, are Catholicism and Mohammedanism
indigenous to this country? Are the various cultures
indigenous to Nigeria? Do you know what you are
actually worshipping? What about the strange gods, the
idols, the diabologies, which you worship? Are they
natives of Nigeria? The Holy Spirit whom Nigerians
should worship in the appropriate manner has now
arrived.
Africans Are Fond Of Worshipping Foreign Gods
If you go to Ghana, the people are worshipping
strange gods; in Liberia also people worship strange gods.
Indeed everywhere you go to, the Africans are found to
worship strange and infamous gods. Does it mean that
you cannot worship the True God? Why do you continue
to worship strange gods, and be plagued with problems,
difficulties and confusion? But the Holy Spirit, which is
Love, has arrived, and has taught us the virtues of love,
and truth, and fellowship with one another because we
are all brethren.
Our Lord Jesus Christ has told us that God is a
Spirit. What is the Spirit? He is love, truth, mercy,
goodness, righteousness, humility, meekness, joy and
peace. The Holy Spirit is in Nigeria. He is in Africa, and
He is in the whole world. What hinders us from
worshipping and serving Him, since we all have been
emancipated? This is, therefore, not the time to go to
Mecca or Rome, or Jerusalem or even United States of
America; but the time to worship God in Spirit,
because the Holy Spirit has arrived at your doorstep.
Love has arrived under your roof. What prevents you
from worshiping Him?
Many people worship what they know not. They
build a house and presume that God is in the house. They
go to the riverside to worship. They also go to Mecca and
to Jerusalem presuming that God is in such places.
Unfortunately, God is not in such places. But our Lord
9 10
Jesus Christ says, "The time cometh, and now is, when
true worshippers will worship God in Spirit and in truth
because they worship what they know not. But now we
must worship what we do know because salvation
emanates from the Holy Spirit into the whole world.
Africans Are Cultured Enough To Sell Their Ideology
To Others
The inhabitants of the whole world have borne
eloquent testimony that the Holy Spirit has entered Africa.
It is a truism that the Holy Spirit has entered Africa.
It is surprising that the Africans have not realized the Holy
Spirit has now entered their continent.
If you observe the goings on in the world, there
are no people who express their love as the Africans, there
are no people who are as foolish as the Africans, there are
no people in the world as humble as the Africans, and
there are no people who are as honest and truthful as the
Africans. However, the trouble with the Africans is their
tendency to worship strange gods. Are Africans not
civilized and enlightened enough to have their own
ideology, and to worship the true God who is love, truth,
and Brotherhood so that all things may remain in perfect
peace and tranquility, in order also to get the whites
socialized in the worship and in the African ideology?
Africa, The Cradle Of Civilization
There has never been any point in time when God
hated Africans. It is crystal clear that Egypt in Africa is
the cradle of civilization. The first university ever to be
established was set up in Egypt. Whatever body of
knowledge adopted by the whites was borrowed from
Africa. On this premise, at the close of this age, the Holy
Spirit has descended into Africa. It is only reasonable that
the Africans should worship God in Spirit and in truth.
Notice that India with a population of 800 million
people has only one government based on one ideology.
But in Africa it is noticed that Nigeria with a scanty
population sets up a government based on multiple
ideologies. Ghana, Cameroon and other African countries
with scanty populations, have their different governments
based on different ideologies. They glory in a state of
divide-and-rule. The same state of affairs prevails in other
African Countries. Why do they not stop for a moment to
ask themselves why they should continue to fool and
stupefy themselves as well as involve themselves in the
attitude of divide-and-rule?
Factors Of African Unity
You are mature enough to know yourselves. If a
Cameroonian or a Ghanaian or any person from any
African country enters into any assembly, you cannot
differentiate him from Nigerians because all the Africans
wear the same body pigmentation and they are one and the
same thing. Why can you not unite yourselves in Love?
Love itself is here with you, it is only because you
worship what you know not. You worship strange gods
and forsake the Holy Spirit who has already come. The
result of your action is confusion, tribulations, poverty,
daylight robbery and indiscriminate murder, because of
worshipping strange gods. It is now time that you
worship God in Spirit and in truth; introduce the
virtue of love to the whites, to go to show them the
expression of Love, truth, joy and peace which is
Brotherhood.
Who Appreciates The Holy Spirit?
I do not, however, condemn the Orthodox
Churches that profess to worship the real God but have no
need for the Holy Spirit. The Moslems do not need the
Holy Spirit, the various religions have no need for the
Holy Spirit. But Our Lord Jesus Christ has spoken, in
unequivocal terms, that the true worshipper will worship
God in Spirit and in truth. Fortunately, the Holy Spirit is
here on earth. There is love, mercy, unity, fellowship,
truth, self-control and meekness. Should we, therefore,
11
reject the Holy Spirit? The whites are aware of the present
position, because it was said that "Ethiopians shall rise,"
that is to say, the blacks will rise up. Now, the blacks
have risen up. They all should rise up and worship God
in Spirit and in truth, in love and in mercy, in truth and in
humility, and in fellowship and unity.
Religious Hegemony
How do you attain a Republican status without
any ideology; and you do not know what to worship? You
are now liberated, but you worship a strange god, and
accept imported ideology. This is the trouble which besets
Africa. The Pope is at the head of Roman Catholicism, and
most of those who profess to be Roman Catholics know
not what they worship. England is under the Archbishop
of Canterbury who is the head of the Church of England.
At first the Britons were under the Pope and the Roman
Catholic Church and owed their loyalty to Rome. You can
observe that Nigeria is till today under the yoke of the
many religious hegemonies, and has not at present attained
the purported Republican status. A casual look reveals
that some Nigerians are Roman Catholics, some are
Moslems, some are Lutherans, others are of various
foreign Christian church denominations, while others
belong to other foreign religions. It is from this that
confusion and problem set in because they do not know
what they do and what they worship.
King James I of England Broke With Rome
You are aware of the fact that hitherto, England
owed her loyalty to Rome and the Pope, and had to consult
with Rome for whatever the people intended to do.
Whoever was to be crowned the King of England must
have the approval of Rome. But when King James I
ascended the throne of England in 1603, he found himself
heir to the religious turmoil and confusion that
characterized the entire country. He knew that if he
continued to be loyal to Rome, he would continue to
12
remain under the Roman hegemony. King James I,
therefore, broke with Rome and founded the Church of
England under the leadership of the Archbishop of
Canterbury. With the new set up, there was no longer any
foreign domination. It is such a country which has
attained the real republican status. Go to China today, the
people are independent of other countries, they are self-
sufficient. The same thing happens in other countries. But
all countries in Africa are dependent on others for religion,
government, economy and other socio-political and
economic institutions because they do not know what they
worship.
Upon your claim to high attainment in education,
upon the number of you who study in foreign countries,
the Africans generally have no ideology. I speak this to
your shame. However, the Holy Spirit has arrived in
Africa, He dwells in Africa. Africa is the first Son,
Africa is the Kingdom of God where there is joy, which
is rich in natural resources, full of honey and milk.
You should go forth to inform the whole world. But till
today, the Africans are quarrelling among themselves, and
they cannot decipher the mind of the white man, who
indoctrinated them that what they have which is
indigenous, is not good enough and so they stand
separated. Can you boast of attaining the republicanism?
Do you mean to argue that it is not the God who
created the Russians, the Americans, the Britons, the
Israelites and the Arabians who created you in Africa? Do
you have another God? Have you sworn not to be
independent? Do you not want to find your feet on the
ground? It is incumbent upon you to worship God in
Spirit and in truth.
What Religion Is Indigenous to Nigeria?
Our Lord Jesus Christ has kindly set us free
knowing that we worshipped what we did not know. What
does it mean to God for your attending church services?
13
What actually do you go there to do? The so-called big
men sit down there and quarrel and fight, indulging in all
forms of diabology and committing murder. It, therefore
stands to reason that, you do not know what you are
worshipping. You find a few persons founding their
church denominations, others are doing a similar thing and
others are complaining that they have toured around all the
church denominations. Must you continue to move from
one church denomination to the other? The church
denominations always expect that an important person
must come to inspect their churches from United States of
America, or India or Britain or from any other country. No
church denomination has ever originated from Nigeria.
No important person has ever gone from Africa to the
United States of America to inspect his church
denomination there, because the people are very
pessimistic, feeling that God has rejected Africa. Is there
no person in Africa who has found favor with God? I
want you Africans to question yourselves on this issue.
Africa Must Awake
Can the blind lead the blind? If the blind lead the
blind, will the two of them not fall into a pit? Can you
observe the love which Africans once had with
themselves. Now is the era of diplomacy, where
craftiness, party spirit, robbery, oppression, grudge are the
order of the day. At present, a brother rebels
against a brother and warns that if he is not a Roman
Catholic, or a Mount Zion, or Apostolic, or Moslem, he
should no longer visit his house. Did your father ever
establish Mohammedanism? Do you know what obtains
in Roman Catholic or Mount Zion, or Apostolic? Do you
not realize that freedom of speech, freedom of worship,
freedom of religion were enshrined in the Nigerian
constitution for your benefit? What happens now? Three
religious organizations are purportedly recognized in
Nigeria. They are: Roman Catholicism which originates
from Rome, Islam which originates from Mecca, and the
14
Protestant churches which also originate from Europe.
Which is the Nigerian indigenous religion? The one
that originates from Africa is not known. Which is easily
dismissed with a wave of the hand. So the search for the
real Christ continues. If you go to meet the Pope he will
issue you with instructions about his doctrines. Are you
not still under his yoke? Africa, are you not under a
foreign yoke? Do you know what you are worshipping?
Do you understand what your masters are doing? Is the
Catholic headquarters established here? Whatever
instructions are passed down by the Prophet or Archbishop
of Canterbury or Pope must be carried out, but we remain
without a religion and an ideology. Since you started
attending these foreign church denominations, has any
black man ever been appointed a Pope? Till the world
comes to an end, no black man will be appointed the Pope
or the Archbishop of Canterbury because the blacks do not
comprehend what they do. Can you become the Prophet
of Mecca? Till the end of your days you will never
become the prophet.
The Blacks Despise Themselves And What They Have
Brethren, do you observe your relative position?
It is for this reason that I shed tears when I look at you.
Any good thing that emerges from amongst you is down-
trodden. What do you want God to do for you? God is
born for us. The promised Comforter, the Holy Spirit
originates from here. He is everything, He is love, and
truth. Food and every other thing is found in
abundance. Here there is oneness which is
Brotherhood. Brotherhood regards all the whites,
blacks, coloured, and indeed all the inhabitants of the
world as one.
It is a common thing in the present age to find the
white loving only what is theirs, not minding its
worthlessness but despising what belongs to the blacks
even if it is of a superlative degree. But the blacks on the
other hand love whatever is foreign no matter how ugly,
15
and despise what is indigenous no matter how pretty. Is
that how to live?
Heavy Expenditures On Pilgrimages
Consider the expenditure incurred by both
government and individuals in one trip to Mecca. Yet you
still cry for lack of money. What is your mission to
Mecca? Our Lord Jesus Christ has said that the hour
cometh when it shall neither be on that mountain nor at
Jerusalem. You go to worship what you do not know. God
is a Spirit. God is Love. God is Truth. God is Patience,
He is humility, meekness and righteousness. Worship God
within, and on the land you dwell. People go to Jerusalem
on pilgrimage. But our Lord Jesus Christ has said, the
hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor
yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. But now that the day
has dawned at the arrival of the Holy Spirit, you still go to
Jerusalem and Mecca. What do you go to Jerusalem for?
Why do you waste thousands of naira on such worthless
ventures? This is good money that can be used to execute
many development projects. What do you go to do there?
When will the people of Jerusalem come here? Take a trip
to Jerusalem, if you will not find numerous poor people.
Up to this day, war is still raging seriously on the land.
Hatred, rancor, and malice abound. What do you go to
learn from them? Do they even know what to do
themselves? You are familiar with what obtains amongst
the Arabs. When you go to Mecca, what do you learn
from there!
In London, armed robbers are as numerous as they
abound in this country. You cannot even compare the
high rate of stealing, lying, roguery to what abounds here.
In such situations, what do you go to learn there?
Brethren, have you realized that to become a
republic means to reach self-realization and self-
actualization, completely independent to serve God, farm,
trade, and do your things your own way? God has
come to teach us everything. He teaches about electricity
16
and other things. Freedom from external influences
motivates a man to individual experiments which leads to
inventions and discoveries. The root of Chinese
knowledge which has led to their present fame and
prominence is traceable to Africa. The origin of Japanese
knowledge can be traced back to Africa. It is God who
teaches man everything. But people conserve what they
are taught by others for their selfish interest and self
aggrandizement because they do not want other people to
see the light.
The Bible in use is printed in Europe and America.
Can that be construed to mean that throughout all Africa,
there is nobody who is able or worthy to print the Bible for
sale? Is it because you cannot print the Bible that is why
you order copies of the Bible from London, America and
other parts of the Western world? Imagine the amount of
money you send out for this purpose every year. Does it
mean that Africans cannot operate printing machines for
this purpose so that the money which would have been
expended remains in circulation in the continent? Are you
not mature enough to print your own Bible? Are you not
mature enough to have an indigenous African Church?
The government of the country is "Love One Another".It
is the government of the continent. Right now, you do not
yet have a republic. In the churches you find strife and
division portraying utter ignorance of what you are
worshipping. Does it mean that there is nobody
throughout Africa who can buy printing machines for the
purpose of printing the Bible in commercial quantities and
distribute to people here in Africa and even in the Eastern
and Western world?
The Holy Spirit Teaches Everything
Should we understand that in all Africa there is no
person to whom God has bestowed the Holy Spirit, a
person who has love and can unify Africa into a
formidable force, a person who can consequently establish
an indigenous African church for the Africans, having a
17
unique system of worship, such that the whites will come
down to imbibe? Does it mean that there is no black man
who possesses love? There is no other system of worship
than that of the Spirit. Be not deceived that the system
you use is of human design. It is the Spirit at work. This
is the time to worship God in Spirit and in truth
besides which there is no other system.If a group of
persons invite you to a certain place, go not forth. That is
not the place. The Spirit teaches us love. When all of us
possess love, that is the basis of freedom. It is only then
that there will be no more theft or discrimination since we
would all be brothers.
Right now, if we go to London, we only go on
ministry work to teach the whites. Brotherhood has
penetrated into Western Germany, India, America and
every part of the world. The Holy Spirit is now
teaching them about love. They do not know what is
called the Holy Spirit.
The Word Of God Is Not Taught In The University
There is no university where any person can teach
you the word of God. No university can teach you about
love. You are rather taught craftiness, stealing and other
vices. But the Holy Spirit takes dominion over
everything. It is the promised Comforter who was
meant to teach all things. Has He not come? Has He
not taught? The white, coloured and black races
possess the Spirit. He is teaching all the inhabitants of
the world. He teaches us love, and truth. All the
inhabitants of the world are one. We should be attentive
and walk in Spirit. Do not be led to doing and
worshipping that which you do not know.
Republicanism In Africa Is A Mere Concept
The underlying factor behind the refusal of the
communist to admit any religion is the difficulty of
deciding which one to follow. If Russia accepts
Catholicism, it implies they will be subjected to the whims
18
and caprices of the Pope. They will become servants of
the Pope. Do you not know that any person to whom you
yield, you make yourself a slave? If it is Catholicism, it
means the Pope will govern you and your republic will be
a mere mental concept. With the Catholic hegemony, you
will have no personal conviction and aspirations. Such
subjugation is indirect slavery. But right now, we are
liberated. The Spirit now teaches every person. He
teaches love to us, to the whites and to all. You should,
therefore, listen to Him. All the inhabitants of the world
are one, we are Brethren. God is not only the God of
Nigeria, or of Africa, or of Europe. He is the God of every
person. The Holy Spirit is everywhere.
Let our first Lesson be read. Listen attentively,
blacks and whites, alike.
First Bible Lesson: John 14:26
"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost,
whom the Father will send in my name, he shall
teach you all things, and bring all things to your
remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you."
Brethren, have you heard that? It is not said that
He will come from Europe, or America or Africa, or India.
It is only said that when the Comforter comes, He will
teach you all things and bring all things to your
remembrance, whatsoever the Christ has said unto you.
All the battles fought are part of the liberation
work of our Lord Jesus Christ in order that we may be able
to worship God in Spirit and in Truth. Look at Nigeria,
for instance, twenty six years after her independence, she
is still under slavery. Unfortunately, she does not know
that the yoke is still upon her. So long as you cannot
worship God in Spirit and in truth, you are still under the
yoke of Satan.
The Liberation Of The Israelites
19
When the children of Israel were led into slavery
in Egypt, they had no power to resist whatever was passed
down to them by the Egyptians. They were forced to
adopt a form of worship which was alien to them. Since
they were slaves, they could not worship in their own way.
They served a strange God. If you have to do what is
strange to you, you will not be able to reject, except as you
are directed. But when it was time, when God wanted
them to serve Him where He wanted, He sent Moses to
deliver them from the hands of Pharaoh to a land kept for
them. They were no longer under Egypt's system of
worship.(Ex 3:10) It was then that Joshua rose up
amongst them and said; "Men of Israel if it seems evil
unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom
ye shall serve, whether the gods which your fathers
served that were on the other side of the flood or the
gods of Amorites in whose land you dwell; but as for
me and my house, we serve the LORD." (Joshua
24:15). Is it not also the time for Africa to serve the Lord?
The Holy Spirit has liberated us from slavery but the
Africans continue to worship strange gods. If you deviate
from their practice, they hate you, lock you up and kill
you. The Holy Spirit has liberated all of us, and there is
little that remains. He will also liberate all. So that we
may all come and serve Him, and cease from wandering as
sheep without a shepherd.
The Holy Spirit Is The Only Teacher
If the whole of Africa were to unite and serve the
Lord since they are all brothers and children of God, what
would they not accomplish? If we possess the love which
he has brought to us, if we are truthful, merciful, humble
and live in peace with one another what would Nigeria not
achieve? What would be impossible for Africa? The
Whites do not love you and when you go to Europe and
America to study, what is it that you learn?
But the Holy Spirit is here to teach you
everything: how to manufacture the aeroplane and
20
other things; because it was written that He shall teach
us all things. The Holy Spirit will teach you everything
if you surrender yourself unto Him. He does not come
to heal alone but also to teach us all things.
Esau Represents The Blacks, And Jacob The Whites
Esau and Jacob had one father. Esau was a black
man but Jacob was a white man. Esau was strict and
truthful, serving his father Isaac; but Jacob used craftiness
to usurp his birthright.
(Gen 25:29-34). Can you not notice how crafty the whites
are? It is what was written that the elder shall serve the
younger and that prophecy has been fulfilled and it now
past. Right now the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth has
come. I do not condemn the Roman Catholic Church, it is
very good with the Catholics. Islam is very good for the
Moslems too. But what do you have to do for yourself
now that the Holy Spirit has come to teach us? He has
come to teach the entire world and so we should forsake
strange doctrines and faiths and follow after love since
God has come down by Himself. He is no longer of the
whites nor of the blacks alone. He is neither for Nigerians
nor for Africans alone. Ours is the Kingdom of God
which has come down on earth. He has come to teach
us His love, mercy, truth, and unity, that people should
not kill one another again, and that there should be no
oppression or segregation.
Freedom Of Worship
There was no time when the Holy Spirit left
Africa. God loves Africa above all. You can observe the
measure of freedom of worship that is guaranteed. You
are free to worship what you may, provided you register it.
But this is not the case in other places. You cannot
worship any other God in the Moslem world. The same
thing obtains in the Roman Catholic world. But here in
Nigeria, the constitution provides for freedom of worship.
Is it not the Holy Spirit who wrote the
21
constitution? The Holy Spirit did that purposefully
knowing that there is something still left for man to do.
What still remains to be done is that the inhabitants of the
entire world do not know what they are doing. Christ says
that whoever loves God has to love his brother. (1 Jn
4:20) Right now your brother is a Roman Catholic
member while you are of the Apostolic Church, how can
both of you agree as far as Christian doctrines are
concerned? You continue to kill one another on questions
of faith. Whose teaching is that?
The Holy Spirit Is Omnipresent
Christ has said that it shall be neither in Jerusalem
nor on this mountain that you can worship God. What is
the situation today? When you are asked about your
church denomination, you argue that it is not in the city
and that you have to travel three miles before you get to it.
For this reason you choose to remain in your house. Can
you not observe that you are worshipping what you do not
know? God is a spirit. He is in- dwelling and He is
everywhere. The time is coming and now is when the
true worshippers shall worship Him in spirit and in
truth. This is the time. You are a churchgoer but you
have no love; there is no truth in you, you have no
patience, you have no humility, you have no good
manners, you do not realize that we are all one. What
actually do you go to do in the church? Do you know
what you are about? God is the God of might, and He says
that whosoever believes and is baptized shall be saved;
and these signs shall follow them that believe, "In my
name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with
new tongues; they shall take up serpents: and if they
drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they
shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."
(Mark 16:17-18)
You profess to be a churchgoer but you come out
of the church and go straight to the native doctor; you take
tablets and injections, you carry some charms around your
22
neck, your head and in your pockets. Do you know what
you are worshipping?
Africans Do Not Know How To Order Their Priorities
God is omnipotent and omniscient. All Powers
belong to the Holy Spirit. He is all wise and is in
everything. Right now that the Holy Spirit has revealed
Himself, we must worship God in spirit and in truth.
He is love and patience, truth and mercy; He is
everything and so there should be no distinction
between the whites and the blacks, the young and the
old. Since charity begins at home, we the Africans should
know ourselves. We should reason among ourselves. We
are carrying the carcass of an elephant on our heads but
fiddling with our feet to search for snails. How much will
the snail fetch us? The whites introduced the school
systems, the churches and their civilization to you.
They have done well. That is their own contribution.
Right now the blacks should introduce to them the
Holy Spirit which is love, truth, oneness, humility and
goodness. It is the turn of the black man to unify the
whole world so that there should be no distinction
between the Jews and the Greeks. He has said that those
who were not his people, He shall call his people and to
her that was not His beloved, He shall call His beloved.
(Rom 9:25). Africans were neither His people nor his
beloved, but today God says to Africans "you are my
people." And so Africans must rise up and unite.
The Turn Of The Blacks
In all institutions or establishments,it was the white man
who was at the head. No white man worked under the
black but today the reverse is true. The mandate is to unify
the whole world so that there should be no distinction. The
whites know this and they have accepted the new turn.
They do not involve themselves in the foolishness which
the blacks indulge, arguing that they cannot worship a
23
human being.They know that this is what has been
ordained and so they have to accept it. However, they now
turn round and instigate you not to accept Brotherhood.
Brotherhood has already been established and there is no
need for any indoctrination. It is not something you have
to search for.The Comforter is here to teach you Love.
This is not the time for carnal church denominations.
It is the Holy Spirit who leads in everything. The Holy
Spirit Comes From Heaven, And He Is Everything To
Every Man.
He said that the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth
which the Father shall send in my name, He shall teach
you all things. What does He teach us? What is He like?
Is the Holy Spirit white or black or colored. Is He tall or
short or deformed? I am telling you this so that your eyes
may be opened because this is not the time for someone to
deceive you that he is Jesus, Jehovah or the Christ. It is
the Holy Spirit who teaches everything and there is no
other teacher. If somebody comes to you with a new god
from America, tell him to follow his American god and
that you are following after the Holy Spirit. If someone
comes out and claims to be anything, know that he is
nothing. It is the Holy Spirit who teaches us everything
and it is today that we want to know what the Holy Spirit
looks like. It was said that all shaky things shall be
taken away. Roman Catholicism has a beginning. Islam
has a beginning. Hinduism has a beginning, the Bahai faith
and other faiths and cults have their beginnings; but the
Holy Spirit has neither the beginning nor the end.
The Kingdom Of Jehovah God And His Christ Has
Come
The Holy Spirit has come for Nigeria, for Africa
for the Western world and for the whole world. The Holy
Spirit has come for the fishes in the water, the animals in
the field, the birds and every created thing. The Holy
Spirit does not come from Nigeria or Africa or Europe.
He comes from heaven and it is the Kingdom of God
24
which you pray for in the Lord's Prayer: "Lord let thy
Kingdom Come". He has taken dominion over the
whole world. Now is the time for all of us to comply with
His teachings. Do not waste your time establishing a
church or a prayer house. We should be attentive to the
Holy Spirit because it is said that He shall teach us all
things. This is the time for both young and old to know
Him.
Only The Holy Spirit Leads
We now want to know if his teaching means
Roman Catholicism or Protestantism or any other faith or
religion or government or society. It is said that in the end
there shall be one flock under one Shepherd.
Today in a small town you have very many
churches because each person is seeking for his own glory.
Can you find the teaching of the Christ and that of the
Holy Spirit in them? Now is the time to listen to his
teaching. Every town and city has to be acquainted with
His teachings. The Holy Spirit is teaching in Russia, in
India, in United States of America and everywhere. Just
sit wherever you are and receive His teaching. If we all do
this and comply with His teachings, the entire world will
be at peace. This is what the whole of Nigeria, Africa and
the entire world should do. Do not search for any other
thing. Seek after the Holy Spirit because this is the time
for his reign. Do you think that it was well with the person
who sells her hen which still lays. If the different
churches were good with the whites, do you think they
would bring them to you? It is the Holy Spirit alone who
comes from the Father and He is the one who leads us.
Second Bible Lesson: Galatians 5:22-23
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Meekness, temperance: against such there is no
law."
25
How To Worship God In Spirit And In Truth
Have you heard what the Holy Spirit teaches us?
Is there any law which is against these? If you are here in
Nigeria and you love every person and are kind and gentle
and humble, will the laws of Nigeria work against you?
If you go to Ghana and you possess love and
regard everyone as your brother, if you are truthful,
temperate, merciful and patient, will the laws of Ghana
oppose you? If you get to Rome and you possess love and
are truthful, if you are humble and you do not fornicate, if
you are patient and meek; will the Romans condemn your
way of life? That is worshipping God in Spirit and in
truth. Where else can you find people sitting in fellowship
like this? Lawyers, doctors, professors and millionaires all
of them mingle with the poor and eat from the same plate
without any difficulty. That is the teaching of the Holy
Spirit and it is what I want to reveal to the entire world
that there is no division. This is taught by the Holy Spirit.
He teaches and practices it.
This is why our Lord Jesus Christ says that you
should call no one Teacher for He alone is the Teacher and
we are all brethren. (Matt 23:8) A teacher is one who
practices what he says. Can you not notice the love He
has? He healed us free of charge. He teaches us free. He
changes us free. He feeds us free. He does everything
without a fee. He tolerates us in everything. He does not
beat us nor inflict us with evil. He teaches us to go and do
likewise.
No Differentiation Of Persons
No woman can enter and speak in the mosque. In
the Roman Catholic Church, a woman is not allowed to
preach. Many other places do not regard the women as
anything. The reason is that they have not received the
teachings of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit teaches us
that we are all brethren.
Do not call anyone a fool. There is neither young
26
nor old, white nor black, everyone is equal. Our Lord
Jesus Christ taught that there is neither Greek nor Jew but
the Holy Spirit is all and in all. You are aware of the fact
that the teaching of the Holy Spirit has never been
disseminated in many parts of the world, that is why when
the women went abroad to preach, there was a stir in the
churches.
The women there agitated to their authorities for
their right to preach because of what they had seen from
our women. The Archbishop of Canterbury almost
granted them the concession but his friend in Rome
advised that if he did that, he was no longer his friend.
And so people have refused women the right to preach
because of fear of persecution.
But right now the Holy Spirit has come to
remove this veil from your eyes. When your eyes are
opened, you will realize that there is neither male nor
female, young nor old but Christ is all and in all (Gal
3:28).
The Brotherhood Of Man
The Holy Spirit teaches us that we are the same.
We are God's building. We are the city of God. We are
all the children of God. Whether you are white or black,
you should regard every person in the same way. This is
what is taught by the Holy Spirit. There is no pastor, or
bishop who will teach you that all men are equal. It is the
Holy Spirit alone who teaches us the Brotherhood of man.
You remember the first National Anthem which
specified that "in Brotherhood we stand." "Though tribes
and tongues may differ, in Brotherhood we stand." That is
what accounted for the progress of Nigeria. Since the first
National Anthem was replaced by the new one, have you
not observed how things have been with you?
The Holy Spirit has come to liberate the whole of
Nigeria and is He not worthy of our worship? If we
worship him would there be any wars or problems in
Nigeria? God says you should call no one father because
27
you have one father; all of you are brethren. What other
name do you want? The whole of Africa is Brotherhood.
The whole of the western world is Brotherhood. All the
angels are Brotherhood. Everything is Brotherhood. Tell
me any other name which you want apart from
Brotherhood, and to love one another. He teaches us love,
patience and kindness, and so we should go forth and
practice these and not to look for another doctrine. There
is no need establishing any church denomination. The one
which is from God is sufficient unto all of us.
Brotherhood Was Established By God Before Any
Religion Was Founded
The church denominations and prayer houses are
comparatively recent. Brotherhood was first in existence.
It was in heaven and God said let us make man in our
image and likeness. Brotherhood was brought down
before Adam and Eve were created. They were led by the
Spirit. But when they disobeyed God, trouble set in and
they fell away from Brotherhood.
Brotherhood is love, unity, humility, meekness,
patience, joy, self-control, peace and all the virtues of
God. It has neither the beginning nor the end. What else
do you want? It is sufficient unto Nigeria as a faith. It is
sufficient unto Ghana,and the whole of Africa and the
entire Western World. His teaching is love and if we
follow after love there will be no theft or any problems
again. Do not go to the mountains again. If you have love
and humble yourself, things will be well with you.
New Teaching
Brotherhood is not planted but it germinates. That
is why wherever it is taken to, the indigenes of the place
are sought for and their possession is handed to them. This
is our government in which we do not steal and we do
not kill. Who is it that does not love goodness. No other
person rules. It is the Holy Spirit who is the Teacher
and the Ruler. The Indians rule themselves with their
28
own System of government. Russia, America and every
country has its own ruler with its common form of
government because love is new. All the old things have
passed away. It is love alone who rules in heaven and
earth. Do not kill animals or man again. Do not hate any
person. Do not steal. Remain in love and peace with all.
This is the teaching which the Holy Spirit has brought.
Our Mistakes
You err when you say that Brotherhood comes
from Nigeria, or from Calabar, or from Biakpan; or that
Olumba Olumba Obu is the owner. You also err when you
say that you go to plant Brotherhood. Is it plantain or
yam? You also err when you claim that you are ruling
Brotherhood? Do you rule Brotherhood or does
Brotherhood rule you?
He teaches us and forgives our sins. He changes
and reforms us. He feeds us and teaches us to love one
another. What is the work you have done? It is for the
whole world to rejoice because Brotherhood does not
emanate from any person. You may leave me out but go
and live in peace and love with one another. That is what
the Holy Spirit has brought. The first man was Adam.
Were there no other names? But it was started with
Adam and Eve. Everything has got a beginning. Today
are Adam and Eve with us? What do you lose and what
does Adam lose? It is said that many people run in a race
but only one person receives the prize.
Man Has To Lead
Since it was ordained that man should be at the
head no matter what happens, man will be at the head.
When you kill an animal it belongs to you while in the
forest, but when you bring it out to the village, it is no
more yours. Communism was started by Lenin in Russia
and now he is dead, and the body embalmed and
preserved for posterity. This is all you can see of him.
God used Mohammed to found Islam. Today Mohammed
29
is no more in the world but Islam is still practiced as a
religion. Boniface started Roman Catholicism but is he
here today? Bahaula started the Bahai faith but is he here
today? God uses people to accomplish His will.
Forget about these people because they are like the
moon which shines for all. Each of them is a messenger
and nothing else. God will not start any instruction with
a tree. If this is the cause of your annoyance, do not
mention the name of Olumba Obu, keep him out but
practice the teachings of the Holy Spirit. Do not look
again to the left or right.
John the Baptist started preaching
repentance.(Mark 1:4) Our Lord Jesus Christ also came
but are these people physically here today? At all times
God has to pass through men. This foundation is very
sure. Brotherhood existed before the foundation of the
world was laid. This is the time of its manifestation
and there is no going back. This is the only expected
Kingdom we have been praying for. Have you ever seen
anything from Africa which gains popularity in Europe
and America?
Let me tell you what is happening in the world
today because it is the Holy Spirit who is revealing
Himself to the people. There is a certain man in London
who vowed not to bow down to any black man. That
night, as he went to bed, the Holy Spirit revealed himself
lavishly unto him. The following day he resigned his
appointment, and now goes about with soutane preaching
the gospel in every part of town and even sleeps with his
soutane on. Another man from Cross River State of
Nigeria who was a Pastor in another church denomination
was arrested in Lebanon with a lot of foreign currency
while on a business trip. The case was such that he would
not escape jail or the firing squad but the Father appeared
and he was released. When he got back, to London, he got
baptized with members of his household and now rejoices
in Brotherhood. He will be here this month. Is this the
work of man? Was I the one who went to him. What can
30
a small person like myself know how to do?
Attribute All To Jehovah God And His Christ
If you want to practice Brotherhood, talk only
about the Holy Spirit and there will be peace. Do not
wander to any part of the world because you will find no
way. The foundation is sure. This is why a lot of people
try to render the teaching in various languages. The time
for deceit had long past. Count me out of why you do. I
am not a chief, I am neither chairman, nor Pastor, nor
Prophet, nor Christ Servant, nor Elder nor anything, but
the point is, what about the work? If you refuse me, do
you equally refuse the work? Our Lord Jesus Christ is the
foundation and the Leader. Jehovah God and His Christ
is the one in control. I had told you that I am not the doer
of this work. But even if I lie down in the house, the work
still continues. Imagine the testimonies of what happened
in Germany and other parts of the world. Have you ever
found me travelling out even to Oron? God had disgraced
the wisdom of the world, of the whites and of the blacks.
He alone exists. I have no boast of my own. I boast in
Him. Let our Golden Text be read.
Golden Text: John 4:23
"But the hour cometh, and now is, when the
true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit
and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship
him."
It is of great surprise on one hand, to find that
somebody who has never studied at any university, or
travelled to Lagos, or read any newspaper, or initiated into
any secret society or cult, or even read through the Bible
can exhibit so great profundity of knowledge. How do I
come by this knowledge?
Man is the church of God. Man is the building
31
of God. Man is the House of God. (1 Cor 3:16-17/ 6:19)
Do not allow any person to deceive you to erect or
attend a church building. Go not forth, for you are the
house of God. All the inhabitants are the houses of God.
Are you familiar with the concept? Man is the house of
God. God has no other house.
If a person directs that he should take you to God's
vineyard, do not go. You are God's husbandry. He has no
other. Do not be deceived that when a person dies, he goes
to God's city. Man is the only city of God.
The Tabernacle Of God Is Man
Somebody argues that you are not a child of God.
If you are not a child of God, whose child are you? Whose
child is Eve or Adam? Are they not children of God?
Whose child is our Lord Jesus Christ? Is He not the Son
of God? Did he not redeem us from the curse? All the
inhabitants of the world are the children of God.
It is usual for a father and a child to quarrel. When a
child offends against his father, he quite normally will
ask his father for forgiveness. It was for that purpose
that Our Lord Jesus Christ shed his blood through
which the Father forgave the sins of the world. All the
inhabitants of the world are true and not adopted children
of God. In that case, you are now having a direct link with
your Father. The ultimate aim is to return to the Garden
of Eden. Right now God has come back to dwell in each
and every one of us. He does not dwell in the sky. He
dwells in you. There is no need in going to the mountain,
or to find a church, or request for prayers. He dwells in
you. Therefore converse with Him, listen to Him for He
is teaching you love, peace, truth, mercy, faith and other
virtues.
The Reign Of The Holy Spirit Is Unopposed
When anyone comes to tell you that he had been
to Jerusalem or India to receive power, he is lying and he
32
is a deceiver. Call on God for He dwells in you. It is for
this reason that we are told not to commit any sin. If we
keep his instructions, we have no problems. No power
comes from elsewhere to us. When a person complains
that he is attacked from the family, it is a lie. This is the
time to worship God in spirit and in truth. This is the
reign of the Holy Spirit. His reign has no bounds.
Whether or not you accept Him, His reign is unopposed.
He has assumed His rulership, and nothing else reigns.
Why are we afflicted with famine, tribulation, poverty and
lack? It is because you would not accept his rule. The
Holy Spirit is God. He makes and unmakes. If we
accept Him and surrender completely to His reign, all will
become well. Things will change for the better overnight.
I have accepted him. If you have not accepted Him, that
is your business but it is sure that the fastidiousness of a
he-goat does not prevent it from being sold.
Kingdom Devoid of Pain and Death
The Spirit is what we had lacked. That is why
people died, fell sick and suffered. But now that the Holy
Spirit has come back to dwell with you in the paradise
according to the pre-ordination of God, you communicate
directly with God. There is no sickness or pains.
Fortunately, the living water overflows the fountains. But
you refuse to drink. On what basis do you refuse to drink?
Can you refuse life?
In the past the Jehovah's witnesses claimed to be
the Watch Tower watching to announce to the people the
time of consummation. It appears that the reverse is now
the case. This is that Kingdom of God and the Holy Spirit
now reigns.
The Kingdom of this world is no more. This is the
Kingdom of Jehovah God and His Christ. It is not Olumba
Olumba Obu who reigns. Nobody else reigns. Jehovah
God Christ and His Christ alone reigns. Brethren, be not
exasperated. If you can put Olumba in a box and nail it,
put him in and drop it in the depth of the sea. The reign of
33
the Holy Spirit has been revealed. The die is already cast.
The Arrival Of The Holy Spirit: Coincided With The
First World War
At this moment, South Africa is free. The
inhabitants are set free today (October 1, 1986), to come
and serve God. I am not the one setting them free. The
same Jehovah God and His Christ sets them free.
Remember His promise of liberation to all, made
today as we celebrate the anniversary of Nigeria's
independence. He fulfills his precept of "Live and let
Live," so that the white and blacks should have equal right
to serve the Holy Spirit. There should no longer be any
oppression in any quarters. Whether you are young or old,
male or female, this is the opportunity for you throughout
the whole world to save yourself.
You remember the first world war. It was the
handiwork of our Lord Jesus Christ because it was said
that you will hear rumors of war but you will not see the
war. That was its fulfillment. That war could not,
therefore, be attributed to any person.
You will recall the dream of the three Nuns in
Rome in 1918 about the arrival of the Holy Spirit in
Africa. In 1918, there was the outbreak of influenza at the
end of the war. All those events cannot be attributed to
any other cause than the gradual unfolding of the total
liberation plan by God for man.
What now hinders you, you Africans, and
indeed all the inhabitants of the world from serving
God? This is the time to worship God in Spirit and in
truth by hearkening to His voice. That should be
expressed in such attributes as love, humility, peace,
service to God, now and till eternity.
Brethren, this is the message that I have for the
entire world. A stroke of the cane is sufficient unto the
wise. He who has ears let him hear. May God bless His
Holy Words. Amen!

THE HOLY SPIRIT IN AFRICA
FIRST BIBLE LESSON: 1 CORINTHIANS 15:49
"And as we have borne the image of the
earthy, we shall also bear the image of the
heavenly."
SECOND BIBLE LESSON REVELATION 21:1-2
"And I saw a new heaven and a new earth:
for the first heaven and the first earth were passed
away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw
the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from
God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for
her husband."
GOLDEN TEXT: 2 CORINTHIANS 5:16-17
"Wherefore henceforth know we no man
after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ
after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no
more. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new
creature: old things are passed away; behold, all
things are become new."
NO ONE IS KNOWN IN THE FLESH:
Beloved, the above texts are precise enough for
you to understand, and they form our sermon.
I have always advised you to search the scripture
and ascertain every fact in it. The establishment of the
kingdom of God on earth is the manifestation of the
vision by some Catholic Nuns in Rome many years ago
35
where they saw the Holy Spirit descending into Africa.
There are arguements all over the world about the advent
of the Holy Spirit; that He shall come in human form.
Many do not believe that the Holy Spirit has already come.
Those who try to believe that He has come are uncertain,
and, in fact, are confused as to where He could be located.
A certain school of thought in London is of the opinion
that He could be found in South or East Africa. Even
some Brotherhood members are still doubting the
existence of the Holy Spirit.
According to our Golden Text, this is not the time
where people are known in the flesh. However, certain
people contest the fact that one cannot see the Holy Spirit.
If the Holy Spirit cannot be seen what other phenomenon
is there that can be seen by man? THE HOLY SPIRIT IS
CHRIST; BUT THE FACT IS THAT YOU CANNOT
SEE HIM IN THE FLESH.
People argue that Our Lord Jesus Christ was a
mobile preacher compared to the Father. EVEN IF YOU
KEEP THE PORTRAIT OF OUR LORD JESUS
CHRIST IN YOUR HOUSE, AND YOU KEEP
WATCHING OR OBSERVING IT ALL THE TIME,
IT WILL NEVER AVAIL YOU ANY GOOD. THIS IS
THE ERA OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. He has
come as a Quickening Spirit, and no one is
known in the flesh again, but in spirit.
When the people of old heard that Elijah was
coming again, they kept his portrait in their homes so that
they could identify him when he arrived. Did Elijah not
come ultimately? And did they know him?
The Holy Spirit has come, taking complete
control of the affairs of men on earth and those in
heaven. He is the one responsible for all the events in
the world today. The fact is that He is not to be known in
the flesh, but in the spirit. Whether a man is black, white
or red, no man is known in the flesh any longer. But even
as Our Lord Jesus Christ was seen, so is the Holy Spirit.
36
 Our Lord Jesus Christ said, "Yet a little while and
the world sees me no more, but ye see me: because I live,
ye shall live also."(John 14:19) One cannot know God,
Christ or the children of God in the flesh. He has come
like a thief in the night, and has taken the world unawares.
God sent prophets like Elijah, Samuel, John, and
even Christ to the world but they were persecuted and
killed. He has come by Himself daring all men. All the
magicians, scientists, technocrats and philosophers are
dumbfounded and blindfolded. The Holy Spirit has come,
and men are saying that never at any time has the Spirit
been seen. If a man cannot see the Spirit, what is it that he
can see?
The Spirit has existed from the inception of the
world. What is happening now is the advent of the Holy
Spirit, to rule and to reign. Christ made it categorically
clear that except a grain of corn falls to the ground and
withers, it remains on its own, and it cannot germinate.
But if it die, it germinates and brings forth good
fruits.(John 12:24) This explains why Christ is seen
lavishly. He is close to you, in fact, closer to you than the
tongue is to the teeth. He has come to put an end to
discrimination of any form. There is no man, no woman,
no young, no old, no black, no white, etc. And He is the
one who is responsible for all the events in the world and
in our individual lives.
The flesh is full of deceit, frailties and negativity.
If the flesh tells you, Peace, know that you are on fire. But
the Holy Spirit is not like that. WHEN HE TELLS YOU,
PEACE, KNOW THAT IT IS PEACE. HE HAS ONLY
COME IN HUMAN FORM. OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
CAME IN HUMAN FORM, and moved from place to
place, and by that He was exposed to certain stumbling
accidents. But now, HE HAS COME, NOT TO MOVE
PHYSICALLY FROM PLACE TO PLACE BUT TO
WROUGHT WONDERS FROM A CORNER OF THE
WORLD.
37
BLASPHEMERS BE WARNED:
All those who continue to blaspheme against the
Holy Spirit should pray fervently for themselves. The
scripture states that anybody who blasphemes against the
son of man shall be forgiven but any one who blasphemes
against the Holy Spirit shall never be forgiven in this
generation nor another to come.(Matt 12:32) ALL
THOSE WHO CALL BROTHERHOOD NAMES, AND
FOLLOW IT WITH DEROGATORY REMARKS ARE
DOOMED.
Our Lord Jesus Christ never bore testimony about
any man, prophet, pastor or person. HE BORE
ELOQUENT TESTIMONY ABOUT THE HOLY
SPIRIT WHO IS NOW IN OUR MIDST. BUT DO
YOU KNOW HIM? This explains why I always enjoin
you to preach Him always. What you are now seeing has
never been seen. He is everywhere. He abides with you,
and His presence is felt everywhere.
However, men have nickednamed Him Belzebub,
vampire, and such other names. Man has not really
received the Holy Spirit neither has He been received
properly since 1918; yet He has brought great joy. He said
that this generation shall not pass away until all things
have been fulfilled. And now it is only two years until the
year 2000 when the reign of the Holy Spirit shall take
shape. He has come to turn things around.
The advent of the Holy Spirit has emboldened His
children, and has given them unparalled wisdom, so much
that even little children in this kingdom will stun you. The
children are very daring in their approaches to issues, and
they ask probing questions. At the University of
Edinburgh, the Vice Chancellor confirmed the high
intelligence quotient of his students, that professors could
not provide answers to some of the questions asked by the
students. God has come down to abide with His children.
Your problem is in your inclination to the flesh; whereas
the works of the flesh have since passed and gone.
Our Lord Jesus Christ sojourned on earth for
38
thirty-three years only. During this period, He was chased
and killed by the rulers of this world. Now, given this
experience, do you still imagine him to come again in the
flesh? GOD IS NOT AS FOOLISH AS MAN. HE HAS
COME IN HIS P0WER AND GREATNESS, HENCE HE
SAID,"THINK NOT THAT I AM COME TO DESTROY
THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS:I AM NOT COME
TO DESTROY, BUT TO FULFILL."(MATTHEW 5:17)
SHUN CARNALITY:
I know that a good number of the members of this
fold are still tied to the apron strings of the traditions and
cultures of their great-grand parents. You are consumed
with the perilous impression that man can never exist
without a bit of sin. Have you not noted the nomination
used for the first lesson? If that nomination had not been
fulfilled it would have appeared as if it were not God who
made that statement.
This is not the time for man to be carnally-
minded. The Holy Spirit is larvishly present everywhere.
He can dine with you now but in a split second He
disappears. You can see a multitude of people clad in
white robes, singing, and dancing but by the time you
clear your eyes to ascertain your view, the group
disappears. All those who continue to dissipate their
energy, spend their time and resources researching into
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star are wasting their time,
and they are doing so at their own peril. ALL THOSE
WHO BLASPHEME AGAINST THE HOLY SPIRIT
SHOULD PRAY FERVENTLY FOR THEMSELVES.
In Matthew 13:31-32, The Holy Spirit is
compared to the mustard seed which is the smallest of all
seeds. But when it germinates, it grows into the largest
tree and spreads out its branches to provide shelter and
abode for the birds and animals. In his book "The Truth
Has Come," Bishop Eyo asked readers, if Christ were to
descend from the sky like a dove, whether His body would
39
be allowed to settle on anybody's parcel of land. The Holy
Spirit no doubt descended from above but the question is,
did you know when He came? He promised to come like
a thief in the night. Is there anyone in the world who is
aware of the presence of God on earth? If in His first
advent as man, men persecuted Him, would He want to
reappear in the previous form? Therefore as the heaven is
higher than the earth so also is God's wisdom greater than
man's.(Isaiah 55:9).
No man is now capable of doing anything or has
the knowledge or senses to think except as ordained by
Him. He has come as the resevoir of knowldge, power
and an innumerable multitude. As we have borne the
image of the earthly man, now is the time to bear the
image of the heavenly man.(1 Cor 15:49). He has fought
and conquered the world and He has glorified Himself.
THE YEAR OF THE LORD:
This gospel is a reminder of the word spoken by
Our Lord Jesus Christ. THE HOLY SPIRIT
MANIFESTED HIMSELF ON EARTH SINCE I918. He
now reigns in heaven and on earth. Sad enough, man is
gazing into the sky, expecting Christ to come therefrom.
When He was on earth, did men listen to Him? To herald
the coming of the Holy Spirit, there was an epidemic of
influenza in the world. That disease was used to eliminate
all the evil and sinful men. This therefore is a lucky race.
THE SPIRITUAL FOOD:
I will in this gospel disclose the cause of your
downfall and the reason you have not seen the Holy Spirit.
I will reveal the reason a lot of people are unaware of the
goings on in the world. The problems of men, i.e.
sicknesses, hunger, hatred, and death, are traceable to
disobedience. God created the heavens, the earth and the
fullness thereof, and finally created man. He then gave
man the superintendency over all the creations, and gave
him every plant yeilding seed which is upon the face of all
40
the earth and every tree with seed and its fruits for food.
THESE CONSTITUTE THE SPIRITUAL FOOD. YOUR
PROBLEM NOW IS THE FLESH THAT YOU ARE
EATING WHICH KILLS THE SPIRIT. THE MOMENT
YOU ARE ANGRY, YOU TELL LIES, YOU STEAL,
YOU HATE OR YOU DO ANYTHING UNSEEMLY,
THE SPIRIT IN YOU IS BEING KILLED. THE SPIRIT
DOES NOT SURVIVE ON FOOD BUT ON JOY,
PEACE, HUMILITY, MERCY, AND ALL THE
VIRTUES OF GOD.
THE DEATH OF MANY PEOPLE, EVEN HERE
IN BROTHERHOOD, IS TRACEABLE TO FOOD,
GLUTTONY. It is written in Romans 8:12-13
"Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to
live after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall
die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the
body, ye shall live."
The above explains the spiritual warfare that is
waged against the dictates of the flesh. If any man lives
according to the dictates of the spirit he shall hunger and
thirst no more, and he shall have no problem. EVEN
WHEN YOU FEEL SOME PAINS OR DISCOMFORT
WITHIN YOU, ONCE YOU ARE SPIRITUALLY
MINDED, DO NOT BOTHER, FOR, THE HOLY SPIRIT
IS WORKING IN YOU, IN FACT, REMOULDING
YOU.
One who steals, commits fornication, causes
division, hates, quarrels etc. is dead spiritually. That is
what Our Lord Jesus Christ has taught us. He needs
peace, love, humility, oneness and all the virtues. Once
you do anything contrary to the injunctions of the Holy
Spirit, you have killed the spirit in you and you have
incapacitated the flesh thereby, rendering it useless. Read
the first lesson again.
FIRST BIBLE LESSON: 1 CORINTHIANS 15:49
"And as we have borne the image of the
41
earthy, we shall also bear the image of the
heavenly."
THE PERSONIFIED HOLY SPIRIT:
Beloved, the above text enjoins you to refrain
from evil so that the spirit in you may be revived. This is
the reign of the Holy Spirit. If you distant yourself from
evil, the Holy Spirit
which is eternal life, peace, and prosperity will be your
guide and abide with you always. We are all living
witnesses to the Holy Spirit that is abiding with men in
human form. He has come in His glory, doing what no
man or angel has ever done. HE IS SO GREAT AND
SPLENDID. He has bamboozoled all the soothsayers,
voodoo priests, magicians, occultist, etc. and they now
attest to His power.
Nevertheless, many men have continued to
investigate the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, to know
the source of this power, yet, they find nothing. HE IS
THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN FIGHT AND CONQUER.
He has been disturbing and fighting members of secret
societies and disorganizing them. They too have been
probing to know the source of this power, yet they cannot
find it. The more they try to probe into the activities of
Brotherhood, the more the Holy Father makes lavish
appearances to them at their various meeting venues and
houses. Brother Bassey Bassey earlier confirmed this fact,
when he testified that on several occasions the Holy Father
has caused their meetings to disperse abruptly. The same
story was corroborated by Professor Assasu Inyang Ibom.
I am not claiming to be the Holy Spirit, BUT HE HAS
COME AT THE APPOINTED TIME.
GOD CREATED MAN IN HIS OWN IMAGE.
THIS EXPLAINS WHY EACH TIME HE COMES HE
TAKES ON HUMAN FORM. IN THIS
DISPENSATION HE HAS COME BY HIMSELF,
SENDING NO ONE. HE HAS COME TO ABIDE ON
EARTH FOREVER. HE HAS COME TO PUT THINGS
42
IN THEIR PROPER SHAPES AND POSITIONS.
WATCH AND SEE WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN
THE WORLD. God is just and upright. He never
disappoints. He has come as the Holy Spirit and he has
permeated all facets of the earth. It is God who created
the heavens, the earth and the fullness thereof. He can
change man into a tree or stone and vice-versa. His power
is unlimited. IF HIS POWER IS UNLIMITED, IS IT
TAKING HIS ADVENT IN HUMAN FORM THAT
SHOULD BE PROBLEMATIC TO HIM?
In this kingdom there is neither man nor woman,
bond nor free, no discrimination of any sort. This explains
why He enjoined you to desist from imputing sins on one
another, cursing and creating class distinction. What the
Holy Spirit desires is love, peace, humility, meekness,
truth and all the virtues. These constitute what the Holy
Spirit wants and these are what can take you out of
problems.
In the past God manifested Himself into various
forms, such as stone, tree, horse, corn, birds, other animals
etc. But each time He manifest Himself, the world got
hold of Him and ate Him as food or just eliminated Him.
Human beings have always been watching and waiting for
His Advent. THIS TIME AROUND HE HAS COME
WELL PREPARED. As the world was waiting to devour
Him, He was getting ready to take the world by surprise.
HE HAS COME TO ASSERT TO MANKIND HIS
SUPREMACY. If it were possible for mankind and in
fact the churches have a more powerful being who is
capable of eliminating the Holy Father, they would have
employed such a person.
Men are mourning and gnashing their teeth. They
are now at cross roads. Now is the time for all men to
refrain from all vices, otherwise, they should pray
fervently for themselves. What is needed is complete
abstention from sin and total submission unto God.
Anyone who surrenders himself to God does not need to
eat or drink conventional food and water. It is the Holy
43
Spirit that will feed and sustain the one.
As God is so also are those who believe in Him
and obey His commandments. This is not the time to
preach and glorify any man but God. Do not cheat, illtreat,
or offend your fellow man, no matter how small the person
may be. Most people, both children and adults, bear the
image of the Holy Spirit. The child that you are fond of
beating can be the Holy Spirit. Therefore if you beat or
curse a little child, you are incurring the wrath of God.
The two young men who visited Sodom and Gomorrah
were spirit beings but the people did not know this. It took
them no time to destroy the two cities.
The whole world is alleging that Brotherhood of
the Cross and Star is cannibalistic and its thus killing
people. The world has not experienced anything yet.
EXCEPT THE WORLD ACCEPTS AND MAKES
PEACE WITH BROTHERHOOD, THE WORLD WILL
NOT HAVE PEACE. FOR THE WORLD TO BE FREE
FROM BONDAGE, MEN HAVE TO ACCEPT GOD
AND OBEY HIM.
GOD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERYTHING:
The truth is elusive to the world. Our Lord Jesus
Christ resurrected on the third day. When Mary arrived at
the grave side on the third day, she realised that the Lord
had resurrected. She found only the guards. She even saw
the Lord amongst the guards but she could not identify
him. She even asked the Lord whether He had seen the
Lord. Her intention was to take the corpse home. The
Lord right there called Mary in his own peculiar way
before she could recognise Him. When she ran to embrace
him, He forbade he from touching him. He mandated her
to go and inform his brethren, for he had not yet ascended
to His Father, and their Father. Before Mary could reach
the people, the Lord had already arrived there.
The disciples too did not recognise their master.
They ignorantly persuaded him to tarry with them and he
did until that night when they broke a feast did the Lord
44
clearly reveal Himself to them. The people marvelled and NOTHING. HE IS THE GREATEST SCIENTIST,
they ran to their kindred to inform them of the wonderful PHILOSOPHER, PHYSICIAN, ADMINISTRATOR AND

When Brotherhood was established in Zaria and
Sapele, the Bethels were accommodated in thatch houses.
During the religious riots in the North, the Zaria bethel
was razed. The government compensation that was paid
to Brotherhood consequent upon the incident was used to
errect a Cathedral. The same thing happened in Sapele.
If by destruction of thatched Bethels, Cathedrals have
come about, what was the evil about that act, and what did
we lose? He cares for us. ALL THAT WE HAVE TO DO
IS TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER. All things have been
made anew. No hades, no problems. Those who were in
the other planets have assembled here on earth to listen to
the word of God. This is a secret I am revealing to you.
When Professor Assasu Inyang Ibom was
searching for the Father, he visited mountain tops, forests,
sun, moon, and stars. In all the planets he went to, he was
surprised to find the children of God arrayed in white.
This is what surprises the world and confuses them too.
The world sees Brotherhood as one of the highest and
dreaded secret societies. All those who claim to be
masters and sages fear Brotherhood members. The
problems of the people of the world stem from their
refusal to denounce their old ways of life and fetish things
which they are holding unto. But because of God's love,
He will change His children unto Himself.
The medical doctors, indeed, your friends
persuade you to go to the hospital for treatment, or report
cases of discomfort promptly to physicians for treatments.
They speak favorably about the application of medication,
and they assert that negligence is the cause of the high
mortality rate. My request is, those who die in the
hospital and on the laps of physicians, what has killed
them? Even the doctors themselves should not die if
medicine give life. The Lord has said that anyone who
seeks his life will lose it, but he who surrenders his life for
the Lord's sake and for the sake of the gospel shall have it.
THOSE WHO DRINK NO MEDICINE OR TAKE ANY
47
INJECTION OR ROB ANY CREAM ON THEIR
BODIES SHALL HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.
The Holy Spirit has come as the New Heaven and
the New Earth. He permeates all the facets of the earth.
No one should complain about the lack of anything,
whether child, money, food, spouse or anything. He is
everything for man. He is sufficient for every man. He is
in your house, office, bethel, and everywhere. It is said
the testimony of Our Lord Jesus Christ are the words of
prophecy. ALL HIS WORD SHALL COME TO PASS,
THOSE THAT ARE NOT YET FULFILLED SHALL
COME TO PASS IN THEIR DUE TIME.
HOPE IN THE HOLY SPIRIT:
THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE SOURCE OF
TRUTH, PEACE, LOVE, PROSPERITY. HE IS THE
GOD YOU KNEEL AND BOW UNTO. HE IS THE
SOURCE OF PEACE AND ALL GOODNESS. WE
SHOULD THEREFORE THANK GOD IMMENSELY
BECAUSE HE HAS COME AS HE PROMISED, THAT
THIS GENERATION SHALL NOT PASS AWAY
UNTIL ALL THINGS HAVE BEEN CONSUMATED.
LET ALL YOUR HOPE BE IN HOLY SPIRIT. CALL
UPON HIS NAME FREQUENTLY, FOR HE WAS
APPOINTED TO LEAD. REVEAL HIM TO THE
WHITES AND THE BLACKS, YOUNG AND OLD,
BOND AND FREE. TELL THEM HE SOLELY
RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERYTHING. OUR DUTY IS
TO RECEIVE AND HAIL HIM.
Many of the members ascribe His power and
wisdom to themselves because of their selfish interests.
Not too long ago a ship got stuck in the middle of the
middle of the ocean. The ship's crew tried all they could
but the ship could not be rescued. Finally, a Brotherhood
member who heard about the situation went there with
holy oil and prayed, and the ship was rescued. However
it has not occurred to the beneficiaries to come here and
thank the Holy Father for even one day. If they are faced
with a similar problem again, will they remember to run to
48
the Father for help? THERE IS NOTHING GOD
CANNOT DO. The Holy Father can change a letter of
termination to that of promotion. If you are asked of the
wonderful work and power in this kingdom, tell such a
person that the Holy Spirit is responsible. Read the
Golden Text.
GOLDEN TEXT: 2 CORINTHIANS 5:16-17
"Wherefore henceforth know we no man
after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ
after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no
more. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new
creature: old things are passed away; behold, all
things are become new."
THE HOLY SPIRIT IS VIRTUOUS:
Beloved brethren, the above text explains what the
Holy Spirit is. HE STANDS FOR PEACE, LOVE,
TRUTH, MEEKNESS, HUMILITY, AND ALL THE
VIRTUES. HE IS LAVISHLY FOUND IN ALL PARTS
OF THE WORLD. If your car develops a fault and
somebody put it in order for you, without charging you a
fee, realise that he is the messiah. The person who
shelters you, feeds you, and clothes you is the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is the only one who does
everything to all men gratis. This is not the time to
attempt to identify the Lord and the Holy Spirit in the
physical body. EVEN IF YOU KEEP THE LORD'S
PORTRAIT IN YOUR HOUSE, YOU CANNOT
IDENTIFY HIM. He knows what you want and He does
it for you without failure. He is the one who keeps you
company and protects you.
Verily, verily, I say into you, he that believeth un
me, the works that I do, shall he also do, and greater works
than these shall he do: because I go unto my Father.(John
14:12).
Have you not found the works of the Holy Spirit
49
being greater than Christ's. THESE GREATER WORKS
ARE EXEMPLIFIED IN LOVE, TRUTH, HUMILITY,
MEEKNESS, AND ALL VIRTUES.
You cannot behold the spirit because you are
carnally minded. YOU DO NOT NEED TO KNEEL, OR
PRAY OR GIVE YOUR NAME AND PROBLEM FOR
PRAYERS IN ANY CHURCH. IF YOU GIVE HIM ALL
DUE GLORY, ALL WILL BE WELL WITH YOU. This
explains why it is said, that his name shall be written on
your forehead and you will see him face to face. WHAT
THE HOLY SPIRIT DOES NOT DO IS TO CLAIM
RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANYTHING. You do not know
him because you work in the flesh. Anyone who abides in
the flesh shall die. Live by the dictates of the spirit and
you shall live, and do not ask Him any questions.
If you go to Mecca, you will find O.O.O. inscribed
on all the stones and places of worship. The Muslims
themselves are surprised and they cannot explain how the
inscription came about.
I too do not know who is responsible for these
inscriptions. NOW TELL THE WORLD THAT SHE
SHOULD CEASE TO SEEK FOR OUR LORD JESUS
CHRIST IN THE FLESH. HE WAS KNOWN IN THE
FLESH IN THE PREVIOUS ADVENT AND NOT NOW.
HE ABIDES IN SPIRIT. IF ANY MAN DOES NOT
WALK IN THE SPIRIT HE CANNOT KNOW HIM.
ANYTIME YOU KNEEL DOWN AND THANK HIM,
HE WILL FULFILL YOUR REQUEST. PREACH HIS
NAME IN THE MARKET PLACE, OFFICES, FARMS,
TO THE PRESIDENT, GOVERNOR, KINGS AND
QUEENS ETC.
It is said that a stroke of the cane is sufficient for
the wise. Let those who have ears, hear what the Holy
Spirit has imparted to the world, may God bless His Holy
words. Amen
THANK YOU FATHER.

 Second Bible Lesson: John 13:35
"By this shall all men know that ye are my
disciples, if ye have love one to another."

Golden Text: John 14:16-17

"And I will pray the Father, and he shall

Brethren that is the theme of our revelation this

CHARITY,
THE NEW GOVERNMENT OF
THE WORLD
First Bible Lesson: John 15:12
"This is my commandment, That ye love one
another, as I have loved you."
day. This marks the anniversary celebration of Nigeria's
Independence for this year. It is for this singular reason
that the Holy Spirit has given this independence to
Nigeria. Why the Holy Spirit has given all countries in the
world the republican status is for this one thing. And so,
whether the world likes it or not freedom has come to stay.
The laws of the entire world have been changed,
because we are now in the reign of the Holy Spirit,
there is therefore nothing any person can do. That is
why you find problems in various governments. The
governments want to promulgate certain laws for
themselves but these have been expunged by the Holy
Spirit. This is the reign of the Holy Spirit.
The Comforter Has Come
What you have heard now is the promise of God
in the new Kingdom of God in which we find ourselves;
even though the world does not know it yet, yet we have
known it. We have seen the manifestation of all that he
has promised. As he had already said; "This generation
will not pass away until everything is consummated.
(Matt 24:34). As a matter of fact, everything promised
him has been consummated. There is no going back; we

51 52
will continue to progress forward. Forward ever but
backward never. Once God has made a promise and has
confirmed it, it is presumed to be final. He says, "if ye
love me keep my commandments; and I will pray the
Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He
may abide with you forever." This promise has been
fulfilled because he has sent the Comforter. There is
nothing left again. The world has neither seen him nor
known him; but you know him because he is with you and
shall be in you.
What God Did Not Plant Will Be Uprooted By The
Holy Spirit
And so it is our place to take this gospel and
disseminate to all the inhabitants of the world. The new
world that you have heard about is Love and it does not
require any other church or kingdom or law because this
is the only church, the only rule and the only government.
The prayer which Our Lord Jesus Christ taught to
his disciples, "Lord, let thy Kingdom Come." (Matt
6:10). Which means let the Holy Spirit come, is already
fulfilled. The Holy Spirit has come. What else are we
looking for? He says that in the fullness of time the shaky
things of the world will be removed. It is a truism that all
that was not planted by him, the shaky things, the
necromancers, the secret societies shall be removed (Matt
15:13) and you will see with your naked eyes. All earthly
knowledge and wisdom and power will be destroyed by
the Holy Spirit; not only in Nigeria or Africa but
throughout the whole world. This is not going to be done
by me but by the Holy Spirit Himself.
Love, The New Government
Theft, robbery, death or any evil thing cannot rule
any more. It is only this new commandment which has
been given-"Love ye one another" which is reigning
supreme forever and ever. Our First lesson says, "This is
53
CHARITY: The
New Government
Of The World
my Commandment, that ye love one another, as I have
loved you." And the Second has said:"By this shall all
men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to
another," That is not the end, he also says, "and I will give
you another Comforter, that he may abide with you
forever." The world does not know him because it has
never seen him; but you know him, for he dwells in your
heart. Have you not seen this in you? Since you know
him and he is in your heart, you have to go out and preach
him. Tell people that it is the Holy Spirit who is now
reigning because the promise of God has been fulfilled.
The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, the Trinity
God, has come to reign and his reign has neither the
beginning nor an end. It is eternal reign. This is his
time.
God's Covenant With Man
Those who steal should steal no more (Eph 4:28).
The prostitutes, drunkards, snuffers and smokers should
desist forthwith from their practices because those are the
works of darkness which have now passed away. Right
now it is love alone which has to rule the entire world
because the whole world is one and monolithic. At times
God has always entered into covenant with men; and it
holds true that whatever covenant He enters into must be
made manifest. It was because Abel offered the fattest
ram for sacrifice to God that it was counted for him as
righteousness. It was because Abraham accepted to offer
his only son Isaac as a sacrifice that he was called a friend
of God. It was because Christ came down and shed His
blood that God has gathered the whole world unto Himself
and bestows unto man His kingdom. It was because
Moses rejected to be called the son of the daughter of
Pharaoh and chose to suffer affliction with his brethren
54
until He delivered them out of bondage, that God is not
ashamed to be called their God. And so the final
covenant which God has entered into with man is that
man should love one another even as He has loved him.
Adam Was Not Born But Created By God
This covenant is not like that of Moses which was
bound with laws. The Covenant of Love is distinct and
free from other laws. It is by love that men shall know
that you are his disciples if you love one another. And He
will pray the Father to send another Comforter who shall
abide with you forever. You are witnesses to the fact that
from the time God made the Covenant with Abraham, to
the time it was manifested at the advent of Our Lord Jesus
Christ, it was after 4,000 years. And he says if there is no
shedding of blood, there will be no remission of sins; and
if the sins were not washed away, it would be impossible
for him to come back and dwell with men. You are true
witnesses that when God created the world, He created it
perfect and spotless. Adam and Eve were not born of a
woman but God created both of them with His hands and
breathed the Holy Spirit into them, and so God was living
in them. At that time men and beasts lived together; there
was no quarreling, no anger, no division, no sickness, no
hunger or pain because love was reigning. Adam was the
garden planted by God. He was the city constructed by
God. Adam was his temple and so there was no problem.
God Departed From Man Because Man Left The First
Love
Love one another is not a new Commandment. It
has always been in existence. The world was created with
love because love was in existence when the world was
void and without form. When God told Adam to eat of all
the fruits of the trees in the garden except one he was
telling him to love every person and not to commit any
sin. It is because Adam departed from that love that
God departed from man. It was then that the Holy
55
Spirit departed from man. When you hear that Adam
was thrown out of the garden it means that the Holy
Spirit left him. If the Holy Spirit forsakes you, you are
finished. From that time on sickness, death affliction,
wars, lack and poverty set into the world. Apart from the
Holy Spirit you are dead. If God departs from your house,
that house stands demolished.
Man Reconciled To God By The Precious Blood Of
Christ
There is no other way through which God would
come down to man because he had vowed that he would
never come back to man since man has become stubborn
and bestial. Man does not know how to be like God again;
he cannot resemble him. Man does not know what life is;
he is brutish. It was on this premise that God has from
time to time sent people who will lead men in the way of
salvation. And the last covenant He entered with man was
that unless a spotless and innocent blood was shed, He
would not come back to man. But in so long as a spotless
and innocent blood was shed he would begin to give
thought to the idea of coming back to man. That was why
Our Lord Jesus Christ lived a spotless life because he
possessed the required love: he was never angry. He did
not quarrel or fight. If he had committed any of these
vices, he would have failed. That is why he offered
himself as a supreme sacrifice; and on that day when
he shed his precious blood, he reconciled man to God
again.
The reconciliation of man with God was made
possible through the shedding of the blood of Our Lord
Jesus Christ. We are all the children of God; but in
order that the claim can be made sacrosanct he says
that we should love one another as he has loved us. He
has loved us and so we have to reciprocate that gesture
otherwise there is no way to salvation. That is where the
knot fastens along the line. This is the only condition to
be fulfilled, and who shows the expression of love. The
56
whites do not know what love is, the blacks do not
know it either. Some argue that the Holy Spirit has gone
and is no more in existence. He emphasizes the point of
loving one another seriously and he did not give any other
Commandment, because God is Love, Our Lord Jesus
Christ is love and it is Love that brings down the Holy
Spirit since He also is Love.
You will realize that it is now 2,000 years since
the advent of Our Lord Jesus Christ. We are so fortunate
that this love has come down in our time and it has started
his work. And he advises that we should love one another
because he first loved us. That is why no other thing is
required in this New Kingdom of God apart from love. As
people have been struggling from generation to generation
to serve God and they have not been successful, so it is
with practicing love. Of all the virtues you can practice,
love is the most difficult. There is nothing that you can
compare with love. Love is omnipresent. Love is all
embracing, you have to love life, death, wealth, poverty,
all the white men, black men, trees, the land, the air and
everything. That is what is meant by love. You do not
love only a handful of people and claim that you have
love. You have to love all things.
Universal Love
If you love every person in Nigeria and do not
love the rest of the people of Africa, it means that you
have not love. If you love only the inhabitants of Africa
but you do not love others in the world, it means that you
have failed. If you love all the people of the world, but you
do not love the fishes, the animals and the insects, it
means that your love is not full. Love is what no person
can comprehend. No white-man knows what is meant by
love. David, Solomon and the old prophets, knew nothing
about love. It is the Father alone who knows what love
is because he is the Father of love, and the Son also
because he is the Lord of Love. Because he knew how
difficult it is for man to possess love, that is why he said,
57
"If ye love me, keep my Commandments, and I will pray
the Father, and he shall send unto you another Comforter,
that he may abide with you."
You will realize that from January to December,
I do not teach you any other thing apart from love; and yet
none of you possesses it. That is why I continue to say
that you do not as yet know the place that you are now. If
you were to realize that this is the Kingdom of love in
which love alone reigns forever, there would be neither
quarrelling nor fighting nor hatred; and there would
be no vile thing inside the Kingdom. It is said that: the
city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine
in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is
the light thereof.(Rev 21:23)
The Unlimited Love Of God
This Kingdom has swallowed and overshadowed
wife, and mother, and father, and children, and everything,
because love reigns over all. The loves of father, or
mother, or wife, or husband, or brother, or sister, or
government are limited; but God's love is unlimited.
Realize that when something happens to you in your
family and you go to your mother, she will tell you to go
to your father; the father will send you to your brother or
to your sister. You will observe that their love is limited.
But here love swallows up everything and is capable of
containing any situation. It is a surprise to the people of
the world when they ask why people who go to
Brotherhood do not remember their fathers and mothers
and brothers and sisters and the rest of their relations. Why
should he not forget about all these persons? The duty
which would have been performed by the brother or the
husband or the wife has been taken up by the Holy Spirit
alone. Apart from taking up all these duties, He also
protects your mind, your soul, your spirit, He protects
everything about you, and so you have no complaints.
Remember that when something happens in the family, the
whole family will have to meet; one person will complain
58
that when something happened to him no person
responded, another will say that he cannot attend the
meeting; they will quarrel and argue among themselves.
Sometimes it is a thing that involves N1,000.00; and
someone will give out N1.00 as his own contribution.
Everything will be so disorderly done and they will so
torment you before you receive half the amount from
them. But it is not so in this New Kingdom of God. If
anything happens to any person, love alone will swallow
it up. Since there is no distinction among persons, one or
two persons can solve the problem without many people
hearing about it.
The Love Of God Is Greater Than The Love Of Man
Many people initiate into secret societies that they
may receive assistance from them. Some go into
gambling and drinking, in order to receive aid. Here, no
such things are required because love is able to contain
any situation in life. He is the mother, He is the father,
He is everything to every man, and so once you are able to
come under this love, everything has been accomplished
for you. That spiritual chorus which says that the love
which the Father has for us is greater than the love of man,
is true. If you do not gird your loins, your son, brothers
and relations will run away leaving you when you have a
problem; because it is true that the love which God has for
us is greater than the love of any of our biological
relations.
Love is able to contain all situations in life, in
hunger, in sickness, in danger, in trouble, in persecution,
when you are facing death. Love in this Kingdom of God
is able to contain all of these situations. What can your
father do, when you have a case in the court or when
anything is happening to you? It is only love in this
Kingdom of God who can do everything for man. You
have heard the testimony of that businessman who went
with a lot of money to do business in Lebanon. When he
was caught, the law provides that such a person should
59
face the firing squad. He had money. He had a father. He
had a brother. He had everything. But who was able to
help him? The Holy Spirit went and salvaged him out of
his ruins, and bestowed back unto him his life and his
money. Next month he is coming here to give his
testimony. Another person who had a serious heart attack
even though he was a millionaire, was told by a medical
doctor who certified that he should write his will because
he was going to die. He wrote and signed that the doctor
should discharge him from the hospital. Immediately
afterwards, he was taken to Mill Hill Bethel in London.
The Holy Spirit healed him without requiring the payment
of any amount of money. Two weeks later he went back
to the medical doctor for a check-up, and he was told that
he was completely healed, and the doctor wanted to know
who cured him. When he told him that it was God, he said
that he should be led to that God who cured him; and so
he was directed to Mill Hill Bethel in London.
Love Is A Condition Of The Kingdom
So brethren you do not possess this love so that
others may love you but it is the condition in this
Kingdom-love ye one another. As soon as you comply
with this instruction then it will usher in the Father;
because our Lord Jesus Christ has already said that if you
love him he will plead with the Father to send you another
Comforter; but without this love the Comforter cannot
come in. The first Lesson will now be read.
First Bible Lesson: John 15:12
"This is my Commandment, that ye love one
another, as I have loved you."
Can you realize why, up till now, the whole world
has not received the Holy Spirit, and why they continue to
argue that the Holy Spirit has not yet come? The whites
wanted to acquire the Holy Spirit through scientific
60
method or through tricks and human wisdom, but they
have failed. They manufactured guns and bombs to
use in destroying man, and they thought that was the
way through which they could acquire the Holy Spirit.
They have failed. People were sent to jail, others were
put in cells, others were made to face the firing squad,
they thought that these were the ways through which they
could get the Holy Spirit.
As God The Christ Bore Our Infirmities
Where there is quarreling and fighting and wars,
do you have love there? Many people think that the work
of God is done with money. I disagree with you. We do
not use money in serving God. I also disagree when you
say that you can use human beings in serving God. If you
do not show the expression of love, what then are you? It
is certain that if you have not got this love, you are not
endowed with the Holy Spirit and there is nothing you can
do.
All the experiments emanated from Our Lord
Jesus Christ. That was why he stayed up to the age of
thirty before he received the Holy Spirit. Since he is God
himself, he had to endure all things and live for that period
of time passing through all experiences in life before he
was bestowed with the power of the Holy Spirit. That is
why he has given this injunction, that if we should love
one another, if we loved him we will keep His
Commandment. It is there and then that the Holy Spirit
will be bestowed upon you. Many people are struggling
in vain to acquire power. They cannot have it: love is the
only gate-way through which you can acquire power to
accomplish all things.
It Is Only Through Love That One Has The Holy Spirit
Do you realize what is lacking in you? When I
begin to explain to you the concept of love, you are
engaging yourself in conversation, you are quarrelling and
61
fighting, you are telling lies and fornicating, and you are
doing various things which do not give glory to God. That
is why you are plagued with problems and difficulties.
This is the Kingdom of God, the city of love, where
God Himself reigns. And He rules with love but He
has given us the condition that we should also have love
that He may usher in the Father to dwell in us. Since
he is the Son of God and God himself, he knows what is
lacking in man; that is why he says "if ye love me you will
keep my Commandment and I will plead with the Father
to send you another Comforter which will dwell with you
forever."
I tell you, time without number, that you do not
know where you are, if you were to know it, you would
never quarrel or fight or bear malice, you would neither be
angry nor steal, nor tell lies, nor fornicate, nor do anything
that does not bring glory to God. And the Bible says: "All
those who have this hope in them have purified themselves
even as he is pure."(1 John 3:3). What do you lose when
you love every person, and through such expression of
love the Holy Spirit comes to dwell with you, and you do
not commit any act of sin? What is difficult about that?
And he says: "A new Commandment I give unto you, that
ye love one another." Remain in love and no person
should become exasperated. This Commandment does not
end in Nigeria or in the world alone; but throughout all the
Spirit world, the birds and animals and every created
thing. You will see with your naked eyes that animals will
no more be killed, birds and fishes will no more be killed.
When I tell you the dimensions of this love throughout all
the planes of creation, you burst into laughter.
God's Love For The Cross River State
Do not bother yourself trying to find a church or
to establish a healing home or a prayer house; go and show
the expression of love towards others. Love all the white
men, love all the blacks, love the birds, the fishes, animals,
62
trees and everything created by God. When you do all
these things, rest assured that God himself will reward
you. The Government of the world is made up of laws,
regulations and rules but the Government of God is
run by love. Law does not serve any useful purpose
because it is weak; but very shortly you will see what
love will accomplish throughout the world. Law has a
beginning and end, but love has neither the beginning
nor an end. Nigeria, Africa and the whole world and
those who have attained the Republican Status should
show the expression of love to one another; and very
shortly love would reign throughout the world. God loves
mankind; He loves Africa, Nigeria and most especially the
Cross River State. It is true that if you look through the
whole nation, the only place you will find truthful persons
are in Cross River State; in other places people are always
casting for money.
Fulfillment Of Prophecies
Brethren, this is a thing of joy. It was through the
transgression of one man that sin entered into the world
and to all men; but it is through the righteousness of one
person that salvation has come to all. (Rom 5:18). And so
this commandment has already been in existence right
from the time of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is one thing to
enact a law and quite another thing to comply with it.
Once you are able to comply with the law, you will see
that the glory of God will be made manifest. It was
prophesied through the mouth of the prophet Isaiah that a
virgin shall conceive and bring forth a son and he will be
called Emmanuel. (Isaiah 7:14). Even though it was
prophesied from that time, such a person did not show up
until the time of Mary that this prophesy was made
manifest. As it was prophesied in the time of Isaiah that
the Messiah shall come and the shepherd will be struck
and the sheep will scatter, (Zec 13:7/Matt 26:31/Mark
14:27) that was confirmed by Jeremiah and Job and other
prophets. It was only when Christ came that all these
63
prophesies were fulfilled in him and so it was through
him that the glory of God was manifested.
In the same way, it was prophesied that the
Comforter would come; and people have been gazing into
the sky. They have been waiting to see the manifestation
of this prophecy, and no person showed up since there was
no person to fulfill the conditions which were set. And
people lost hope that such a Comforter will come forth.
How would the prophecy be fulfilled since people were
beheaded even at the places they were praying. The
disciples were beheaded. Tell me how people would have
shown the expression of love. It was not possible. There
were wars on the left and right. Hatred and fighting were
the order of the day. You heard the Holy Wars between
the Catholics and the Protestants. The prophecy could not
be fulfilled at that time. During this time people were
divided, they built empires for themselves. But he has
given commandment that we should love one another.
The Kingdom is built on love but there was no person who
could show this expression of love.
The Leader Is An Embodiment Of Love
He says that everything will pass away but love
abides forever. If you do not show the expression of love
it will not profit you anything. People have done several
things, but since they cannot show the expression of love,
all their labor is in vain. The things I am telling you now
are not drawn from the Bible. I am not taught by any
person. The concept is in-born in me. That is why
when people read these gospels they conclude that they are
not from the Bible. It is true that they do not come from
the Bible. Any sensible man who reads the gospels will
know that these words are not drawn from man but they
are the words of God. People will no longer come in
here to be healed of their infirmities; but they will stay
where they are and read the gospels and their eyes will
be opened and their infirmities will be healed. Not long
from now, all the Television Stations in the world and
64
Radio Houses will only carry the Gospels of the Father.
You will notice that the gospel of the Father will be
televised in November in Anambra State and in Bendel
State very soon.
Ethiopia Shall Rise
It is a thing of joy for people to listen to the gospel
proceeding out from the mouth of God. We should,
therefore, be prepared to carry these gospels to those who
are not as fortunate as ourselves. It is not given that we
should come in here to be healed of our infirmities or to do
one thing or the other. The Holy Spirit Himself has
come, and it is left for us to do what the Holy Spirit has
told us to do. Now the Holy Spirit has come, He has
healed all our infirmities and has delivered unto us all that
He should deliver unto us. Many people contemplate
within their minds whether they will have money, wife
and children, if they have love. That has not been the
condition kept for you if you show the expression of love.
The condition is that if you have love, then the
Comforter will come. You have heard it said that
Ethiopia shall rise. If it were of money or wisdom,
population or civilization, the whites are better off. And
so what would induce the black man to go to Europe
and America to preach to the whites? What would be
your source of rising up again? The Holy Spirit who
acts in secret and sees in secret has revealed that love
to the Africans in order to fulfill that which was stated
long ago. I am giving you this gospel so that it may be
clear to you that the Republican Status given to you means
love bestowed to you by the Holy Spirit; not only in
Nigeria but to all the nations of the world. It is expected
that every person should have love. This is the reign of
the Holy Spirit. We have to comply with the condition
given by the Holy Spirit Himself. You have also seen
the signs of his presence. The military has never before
taken over the government of any Nation without killing
all those who were in power, but today there are bloodless
65
coups of the Military and this is a thing of great surprise to
the entire world. Is it not a surprise to you that if you are
found intoxicated with drinks as a Civil Servant, you are
dismissed from the service? If you smoke, you are
dismissed from the Civil Service. They now have tea as
the only form of entertainment in the government offices.
If you are found with any bottle of beer, you are dismissed
from service. Hitherto, such was not the case. Many of
those who are affected by the retrenchment exercise are as
a result of their bad conduct. Those who do their work
and have love, have no problem. They are encouraged to
stay even when they desire to retire.
Condition For Discipleship
In a very short time if you do not possess love
you will not have any employment, you will not marry
a husband, you will not have food to eat, you will not
have any good thing. And so brethren, it is meet that
as we have heard this gospel we should possess love in
order to enjoy this Kingdom of God. Your being a
millionaire does not make you a disciple of Christ. Your
being a king does not make you a disciple of Christ; no
matter what you are, and the number of children you have,
if you do not possess love you cannot be a disciple of
Christ. If you have love, everyone will know that you are
a disciple of Christ. If you like build a church, or a
prayer house, build a healing home, give visions, give
dreams, give prophecy, and do many other things. But
if you do not show the expression of love, all these
things cannot make you a disciple of Our Lord Jesus
Christ.
It is utter foolishness for you to pray to God to
open your eyes or to give you the type of wisdom which
was given to Solomon or to give you the power which will
enable you to heal the sick. If you do not have love you
will not accomplish anything, even with these. Our Second
Lesson will now be read.
66
Second Bible Lesson: John 13:35
"By this shall all men know that ye are my
disciples, if ye have love one to another."
There is no other thing with which you can be
revealed. I believe you are true witnesses to what has
been read to you now. Brotherhood cannot be known
because of motor cars, beauty or money or any other thing
apart from love. That is why I continue to tell you that
those of you who find yourselves here do not know
yourselves. You have been to the house of the toad to find
both the mother-toad and the father-toad squatting; why do
you stand when others are squatting? Brotherhood is
the embodiment of love. This love is the sum total of
all the virtues. In it you find patience, humility,
mercy, truth, righteousness, temperance, meekness
and all other virtues in abundance.
We Should Be Loving
Whoever does not have the expression of this
love, is not a real Brotherhood and cannot be a real
disciple of our Lord Jesus Christ. If you claim to be a real
disciple of our Lord Jesus Christ, if you claim to be a
Nigerian in this new Nigeria, called the Republic of
Nigeria, if you profess to be a true African and lack this
love, you are not a true African. If you claim to come
from the Western World, and you do not show the
expression of this love, you are not truly from the Western
World. The only credentials and certificate and
testimonial, and indeed, the only qualifications you can
have is the possession of this Love of God. The virtue of
love does not end with you here, but extends to the
uttermost parts of the world. It covers the waters and
fishes. This is just the beginning because, like it is said,
the Kingdom of God is like a mustard seed. It is a small
and infinitesimal seed. When it germinates it grows into
a large tree on which birds make their nests. (Matt 13:31)
This Kingdom is in like manner steadily expanding to
67
enclose all parts of the world. We are not demanded to
present money or human beings, or wisdom, but love is
expected of us. If we love one another, all men shall know
that we are His disciples.
Be Ye Liberated In Spirit
Love works no evil to his neighbor. Love is the
fulfilling of the law.(Rom 13:10). If you have love you
will not be angry. If you possess love, you will not sow
the seed of division. If you love, you will neither steal,
nor tell lies, nor commit murder. Not long from now, the
whites will swamp up this place and you will bear
testimony of the Father's statement. People of no
pigmentation will inundate this premises, leaving no
space. Within a short time too, if you go to the Western
World, you will find great numbers of blacks, coloured
and whites mixing together, singing and dancing.
That is why I have delivered this gospel unto you,
this First day of October, which is the celebration of the
26th Anniversary of Nigeria's Independence, that as you
had been liberated in flesh, you should also be liberated in
spirit. We were given a Republic so that we should have
love. In many other countries, it was attained through
warfare. But ours was attained through love, that we may
show the expression of love. If it were through warfare,
will you say that Africa as a whole could withstand Great
Britain? If it were a matter of money or education, what
educational attainment have the blacks made to compete
favorably? But through the love of God it was made
possible because He had said what was done to the
Israelites, would also be done unto the Gentiles. (Eph
3:6).
The Colour Bar Is Bridged By Love
It does not yet appear to you what it is. Right now
the whites are weeping profusely in a bid to repent and
show forth the expression of love because they have seen
their nakedness, that they can boast of many other things
68
apart from love.
In the words of Our Lord Jesus Christ, if you love
them which love you, what reward have you.(Matt 5:46).
Do not even the whites do the same? The whites loved
themselves and hated the blacks. Till today the whites do
not want to see eye to eye with the blacks. They have no
regard for the blacks. It is of late that the whites have
realized that every person is the same, and that the
difference between the blacks and whites does not exist.
Shortly too, the whole world will become one, there will
be no division, or hatred, because the Holy Spirit has
taken dominion in heaven and on earth.
Advice For Ministry Workers
You have been told earlier that if you go on
ministry work, you should no longer go to where there is
a Bethel or where Brotherhood had already been
established. Go to any town or city or house, spread this
good news, pray for people, comfort them that are in
prison, in homes where there are disputes, go and make
peace. Go to churches and offices and minister unto the
people. It is said no person lights a candle and puts it
under a bushel. (Luke 11:33). It must be put on a
lampstand so that it will illuminate the surrounding to the
people. Also, let your light so shine among men that
people may see your good work and glorify your Father
who is in heaven. (Matt 5:16).
Go On Ministry In Twos And Threes
A Bethel, or Healing Home or Spiritual Hospital,
or Prayer House does no good to any person. What brings
about goodness is for you to go from house to house, town
to town, and from city to city, offering prayers to people,
healing the sick, cleansing the leper, and preaching the
word of God. You had heard Our Lord Jesus Christ say,
"Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold he is in the
secret chambers; believe it not For as the lightening
cometh out of the East, and shineth even unto the West, so
69
shall also the coming of the Son of man be."(Matt 24:26-
27). Light has come to the world but people love darkness
more than light. Whoever does that which is good in the
sight of God must always come to the open that people
may see his good works. It was since 1974 that I had
advised you that Brotherhood should not be limited to
the confines of the building, but should be taken
outside. Go out on ministry work, in twos or threes
and not in twenties or hundreds. Go from Community
to Community ministering to the people. Before you
realize, its testimonies will be tremendous. You will save
up to a thousand souls and many will be converted to
embrace this kingdom and find peace for their lives. Even
if four or five persons enter a place, it will appear as if
street flood-lights are put on and the illumination will be
very bright in a limited area. If on the other hand each
person enters into different directions, the light will shine
in those directions till gradually the whole world will be
overwhelmed with the illumination, and all the inhabitants
of the world will be liberated.
Project The Image Of Brotherhood
The problem is that you do neither understand
where you are, nor know the way, and as such you do not
know what to do. You would rather stay here to fight,
steal, prostitute, quarrel, cause trouble and for these
reasons the light does not shine unto others. Without one
coming to 34 Ambo Street, you will all the while be
regarded as a member of the other church denomination or
Prayer House. Because what is observed in those places
are observed in you. One will think it unnecessary to
follow you since your way of life will be similar to those
of members of the church denominations. It is for this
reason that we shout out in order to spotlight what
Brotherhood is to the entire world. Whenever we are
sending people outside to any part of the world, such
persons will have to meet and tell the President and
other government officials not only what Brotherhood
70
stands for, but its activities as well as capabilities. This
should be done in Ghana, Britain and any part of the
world. Apart from telling them they will have to be shown
in practice how unique Brotherhood is.
The End To Segregation
What expression will show to them what Brotherhood is?
It is through showing them the expression of love. Right
now people are coming. What do they expect? They do
not come to listen to your fluent English or Efik
languages, or to look at your beautiful faces, or to watch
your material achievements. I am telling the entire world
that there will be no more killing, hatred, division, quarrel,
fighting, envy, stealing. These have all gone. Only Love
reigns supreme in heaven and earth. Peter had a glimpse
of this when he said: "Nevertheless we, according to his
promise, look for new heaven and a new earth, wherein
dwelleth righteousness." (2 Peter 3:13). This is that new
heaven and new earth. Tell it to Nigeria that
discrimination, hatred, quarrelling, bribery and corruption,
oppression and roguery are no more. This is a new heaven
and the new earth. It is a new world, where love alone is
admitted. Tell the whole of Africa that there is no more
division or party spirit, or colour bar. Love is the only
instrument of government. Tell the Western World,
including blacks, whites, and coloured, that there is no
more division or wars. There is neither apartheid nor
strife. Only love reigns in heaven and earth.
Unity Of Church Denominations Through Love
All churches are one. All cities of God are one.
All husbandries of God are one. We are one and
monolithic. "Where two or three are gathered, the Holy
Spirit is found there (Matt 18:20). When two persons
commune in his name, the Holy spirit manifests. For this
reason, you can attend prayers in any church
denomination, and since He is the only operator, there will
be no difference in response, whether they be Moslem or
71
Buddhist, or Christian. There is no difference and you
have the authority to go to any of the places to preach the
word of God.
You waste your time to prepare concoction. Do
not waste your time planning for yourself because the time
had passed. The currency used during the colonial rule is
not the legal tender now. If you bring it now, it will be
regarded as counterfeit money and you stand the risk of
being arrested. When the priesthood is changed, the law
must of necessity be changed (Heb 7:12). This era is
for love and Holy Spirit. Therefore brethren, let us show
the expression of Love. Do not be angry with any person
again. Do not steal or fornicate. Cast away strife and
competition from amongst you. Such tendencies come
from the flesh and not from God. Do not claim
responsibility for anything. All things are owned and He
governs everything but you all are brethren.
Inform All About Love
Disseminate this gospel to all the inhabitants of
the world that if we show the expression of love, every
person in the world will realize that we are the disciples of
Our Lord Jesus Christ. It is no use differentiating between
churches, or recommending one church as of Christ and
condemning others as satanic. Does it show the
expression of love? Do not condemn any person in
whatever he does. It is for you to love every person. Do
not interfere in other people's businesses or insinuate in
whatever the Government, or community is doing.
Concern yourself in showing the expression of love.
Our Lord Jesus Christ did promise that if we have this
love, he will plead with the Father to send the
Comforter. At the fullness of time, the Comforter,
even the Holy Spirit, has come to man. Do you not see
the manifestation of the love? What else are we
looking for?
The Holy Spirit Is Responsible For The Condition Of
72
The Present Time
Preach this gospel to people. In your case you
always preach out of context. When people ask you, why
are things this way? Tell them that it is the manifestation
of the Spirit of God in the world. You see what transpires
in carnal churches. There is no spirit there. Compare that
with the Spiritual Churches. Where there is no Spirit,
nothing will be achieved in such a place. But their eyes
will be opened because the scales will begin to fall from
their eyes. In the past, if any person was caught with the
Spirit he was driven away in the Orthodox Churches.
They did not know anything about it. Recently there is a
change of approach, and they have been inviting Spirited
Children into their midst because everything is ruled over
by the Spirit.
I want to reveal why our Lord Jesus Christ says
we should love one another. I want to expatiate on its
efficacy and the attendant benefits. I also want to reveal
to you why He had said, if you love one another as I have
loved you, people will know that you are my disciples.
Remember that he spoke only in parables and did not
reveal to people exactly what he meant by love so that all
shall know them as His disciples. But there was more to
it which He did not explain to them, namely, if you love
one another, I will plead with the Father to come to you at
the end of time, at which time all things shall be
consummated.
The Culture Of The Holy Spirit
Brethren, up till now you do not realize that the
Holy Spirit does not admit to Himself, anger, quarrel,
lying, division, fighting, cheating, grudge, and all the
abominable things you delight in committing. His only
requirement is love. Wherever there is love, the Holy
Spirit is found. That is why He has asked that we should
show the expression of love. That is the only form we
have to complete; the only qualification we have to obtain.
Once we have this qualification which is love, we have
73
accomplished all.
Our Lord Jesus Christ does not tell lies. He
said that the Comforter shall come. "It is expedient
that I go away, if I go not away, He shall not come unto
you." He also said, "if you love me you will keep my
commandments and I will plead with the Father to
send the Comforter unto you." Now that the Holy
Spirit has come, there is no going back. He will remain
permanently here. Tell it to the black man that the
Holy Spirit has come. Announce it in the West and
East that the Holy Spirit has come and requires that
they should kneel quietly on the ground since He has
come to rule.
Golden Text: John 14:16-17
"And I will pray the Father, and he shall
give you another Comforter, that he may abide with
you for ever. Even the Spirit of truth; whom the
world cannot receive, because it seeth him not,
neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he
dwelleth with you, and shall be in you."
Brethren, have you heard that? Have you seen the
end result of showing fruits of love? If you possess these
fruits, the Holy Spirit will come to dwell with you forever.
The reason that others did not receive the Holy Spirit was
because they had no love. It is our good fortune that He
should come in at this time as a thief in the night
without any person realizing His arrival. It goes to
fulfil His promise that heaven and earth shall pass
away but his words shall not pass away till every bit is
fulfilled. (Matt 24:35).
The World Does Not See The Holy Spirit
If you look through, you will notice that this Spirit
of truth is here but the world does not know Him neither
does it see Him. But you know Him because He is in your
74
midst and He dwells in your heart. This is the problem
which besets the world now. If you tell somebody that the
Holy Spirit has come to the world, he will ask where He is
and because he cannot see, he will hush you to depart with
your madness. People engage in disputes and try to evade
the truth. When they see something white, they will argue
against it that it is not white but black. You have seen and
have known Him because He dwells in your heart. When
you tell somebody that He is here, He will argue that He
is not around. Can you see the magnitude of such
stupidity? When you tell them about the Holy Spirit and
they do not believe, do not be exasperated because the
Bible has expressly stated that since they neither see nor
know Him, they will not believe. It is also said, "Yet a
little while the world shall see me no more but you see me,
because I live, you will also live." (John 14:19). Can you
see how he has darkened their vision? They do not know
Him because they do not see Him. But you are pointing to
Him yet they neither see nor know Him, but you know
Him.
The Era Of Love
He has been manifested. The promise is now
fulfilled. The Comforter is come as he pleaded to the
Father. He is the doer of everything, the maker of heaven
and earth. It is your place to explain to any person who
asks why you have love, that this is the era of love. The
flesh no longer rules. Love rules with love, peace and
truth. He is love. If you do not have love, it is impossible
that you can have access to rulership. When the
priesthood is changed, the law must of necessity be
changed. The Holy Spirit has come. Since the Holy
Spirit has already come, His commandment is love. It
is against this background that all the inhabitants of
the world must show the expression of love. Whoever
would not have love is at his wits end.
It is not an optional desire of yours to have love,
but it is the condition of the Holy Spirit that you show the
75
expression of love. The government in power expects
every person to have love. In this new world, in the new
Nigeria, and in the new Africa, the instrument of power is
love. He rules the world with love. There is no more
division throughout the whole world. There is neither
hatred nor oppression nor claim to any position. No
person has power. I have no power. You have no power.
All of us are under the rulership of the Holy Spirit. He
is in the waters, mountains, beneath the earth, in the
winds, inside you, inside me and everywhere.
You are, therefore, sent forth to testify about the
works of the Holy Spirit. He has not only come to feed
and cater for us but to change and reform us. You are
witnesses to the fact that since God created man, there is
no prophet or apostle, or any other person who is capable
of changing and reforming any human being. But He it is
who has come to change us as it had been written that He
will fashion us into His glorious body.(Php 3:21) Now
the Holy Spirit has come to change us into his glorious
body.
A Return To The Garden Of Eden
As it was because of Abraham's action to
sacrifice Isaac that he became a friend of God, and as
it was through Moses that the children of Israel were
delivered from bondage, it is also through our Lord
Jesus Christ that we have all become children of God.
Because of our faith and love, the Holy Spirit has come
down to abide in us everlastingly. This is the last part
of the fulfillment of God's plan for man's Salvation. It
marks our return to the Garden of Eden. This joy has
neither a beginning nor an end; it is everlasting. His reign
is not limited, it is eternal. Very shortly there will be no
wars or rumors of war. No flesh will raise its ugly head
in the world. The work He has come down to do in the
world is marvelous. The joy that abounds for the whites,
blacks, and coloured and those yet unborn can better be
imagined than explained. All the world had perished and
76
had by transgression fallen from this glory and
degenerated to a situation from which it could no longer
rise. But out of His loving kindness and mercy, He has
reinstated man in the place he had fallen short and has
taken him back unto Himself. And surprisingly and
happily too, He has started His reign of love which is
spreading like wild fire into all other parts of the world.
The peace that man has never found is found. Such love
that had never been experienced, is witnessed. Such
mercy that man had never seen, since we knew not what
love means, is now found. Faith, humility, and
meekness that had hitherto not been in existence now
prevail. We now witness the full glory of God which is
part and parcel of us because of the manifestation of the
Spirit.
Holy Spirit Means Liberty
If you turn to the Lord, when you err, you will be
reproved. The Lord is a Spirit and whenever the Spirit of
the Lord is, there is liberty (2 Cor 3:17). Have you ever
found a congregation of people in thousands without
quarreling and fighting? There are no curses. There is no
police protection. Have you ever found where people of
all shades of life assemble; millionaires, doctors, men,
women, the sick, the lame, the leprous, professors,
children and other mixing up without class stratifications?
Have you ever found where thousands of people gather
without drinks, sharing of money, indulging in fornication
but they stay from morning till night singing and
rejoicing?
The whites have tried to introduce various types of
dances and music. Ballroom dance, cocktail parties, brass
bands and other forms of music are the various
unsuccessful devices used to drive away man's sorrows.
People introduce orchestrations and clapping hands to
invoke happiness but they always degenerated to fighting.
But in this case, there are no drumming or flutes or
rattlings, or gongs and cymbals but do you see how all of
77
us sing and dance and enjoy ourselves without quarreling
and fighting?
The Protector And Conqueror
That is why I tell you that He has swallowed up
the mother, father, husband, wife, brother, sister and every
other worldly relationship and has appeared with His
government where love reigns supreme. The joy we have
unsuccessfully sought for; and so we have resorted to
finding pleasures in bars and hotels, and to fornicate, buy
different styles of clothes. In various ways we had tried to
have peace in our lives but instead we resort to wars and
troubles. We sought satisfaction from food in various
ways but ended rather in hunger, wretchedness and
imprisonment. Here everything is surplus. In order to
enjoy music and any other type of dance you had to learn
it. Some dances require peculiar attire and arrangements.
But right now you dance however dexterously you wish
and daily too. You dance till you perspire profusely,
without paying the gate fee. The choir here is open for
you to compose and render any kind of renditions. There
are certain persons who will feel very uncomfortable if
they do not sing or listen to music in a day. When you
come here you can listen to such wonderful renditions that
you will be carried away by pleasure. What can you say
about food? We eat to our satisfaction and more than
enough to spare. What about protection? Is it not all-
round? Do you meet with policemen and soldiers
wherever you go? Is He not always before and behind
you? You are a scholar and he teaches and writes the
examinations for you. You come out with credit and
people will praise you as being very brilliant. What do
you know? You do not take any medication or seek to be
taught. He is the doer of everything. Is it not clear that He
surpasses everything?
He Also Intercedes

Golden Text: Hebrews 12:28
"Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which
cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may
serve God acceptably with reverence and with godly
fear."
This Gospel marks the commencement of the New
World Missionary Fellowship Week. Listen attentively so
that you may not continue everyday to confess everyday
that you have committed sin. Because if you persist in sin,
it will be useless calling yourself a missionary. Just as
Paul said when he asked Peter,"If you preach to the
uncircumcised that they should refrain from idols, blood
and things strangled, why then do you eat what has been
sacrificed to idols?”(Gal 2:11-14). Now if the church
denominations would do what is good, I do not think that
there would be any need for Christ to come. For it is said
that when the Priesthood is changed, the law is also
changed. But the Priesthood of Christ is forever. We
should therefore follow His footsteps and practice His
teachings. It is in doing this that we shall know that God
has never made any mistakes.
Many people used to think that Africa is the most
backward place in the world, but I do not think so, and I
do not think it was the whites who brought the Word of
God to the blacks. Rather it is the blacks who took the
Word of God to them. The reason is that civilization
started in Egypt, and Egypt is in Africa. The first
University in the world was in Egypt. You have heard that
Joseph was sold into slavery in Egypt, and that Jacob and
81
all his children went to live in Egypt for 430 years. You
also heard that when Jesus was born, and Herod wanted to
kill him, His parents fled with Him to Egypt.
The distance between Egypt and Israel is not
much, and the separation is only political. Egypt was the
seat of everything. It has been mentioned in the Bible that
the word of God started there. That is to say, the word of
God originated from Africa. After hearing this gospel I
would not want you to continue reasoning that it was the
whites who brought the word of God to you. For before
the white men with their deceit, the blacks had already
known God. Whoever killed was killed. You do not steal;
if you did, you were sold. Africans already knew the ethics
of life before the arrival of the white men.
Therefore, the whites created all the confusion in the
world today. When they came they said that a thief should
be left alone, and that the people were free to fornicate
about. The Africans saw them as coming to destroy the
laws regulating life in the society. No person teaches
another the Word of God. After hearing the First Bible
Lesson, you will see that God does not make any mistake
for coming to Africa, and for calling us first.
If you have been questioning why God should be in
Africa, a dark continent, covered with evil, your eyes are
going to be enlightened today, because God has never
made any mistakes and He knows those who belong to
Him. That is why Our Lord Jesus Christ had this
parable,"When the servants went and asked the Master,
did you not sow corn, why is it that there are tares in their
midst? The Master replied that an enemy had done this.
They asked him, "Do you wish that we should go and
uproot the tares from the corn?" He told them," Allow
them to grow together lest you uproot the corn as well. At
harvest time, the reapers will come and gather everything
and throw the tares into the fire and preserve the corn in
the store house."(Matt 13:24-30).
Have you not seen that God has not left Africa? His
first work of enlightenment was in Africa. He started here
82
in Africa, so, He has to come to where He first started His
work.
Your problem is that you always think that what you
see now is new. When you read the book of Ecclesiastes,
you will realize that there is no new thing under the
sun.(Eccles 1:9) Everything comes and goes according to
the evolution of time. At a time people will wear the long
flowing gowns, and at another time, short dresses will be
in vogue. When another generation comes with any of
these styles of dressing, people will say that it has come up
with a new style of dressing. But it has already been in
existence.
You often hear of magicians who double money for
people. They send the spirit of theft to go and steal these
monies from behind and so they are thieves. After
giving them what they want, they charge you; and they
will tell you not to use the money for some time. Before
it gets to them, the spirits will return the money to where
they took it from. It is the same thing with having a vision
or dreaming of people wearing a certain hair style, I want
to tell you that it in an old style. It is said that it is not of
him who wills, nor of him who runs the race, but it is of
God who shows mercy (Rom 9:16). He is the God of
truth.
What you see appears to you like a child’s play.
But it is the long expected Kingdom of God, which was
shown to Nebuchadnezzar in a dream, and was
consequently interpreted for him by Daniel (Dan 2:27-47).
It was said that one kingdom shall come and pass and
successive kingdoms shall come and go, but one kingdom
alone shall stand forever and will rule heaven and earth.
This is that kingdom. This is not the kingdom of the
world or of angels. This is the kingdom of God, and the
Holy Spirit is reigning here.
The Americans have vowed that if Jesus comes
again, He will be born to them. The Israelites say that
Christ will come to them. The British argue that He will
be born to them. But the Africans have no such thought
83
because they feel they are sinners who are not worthy to
have Our Lord Jesus Christ born to them. But since God
started everything, he knows where He started, and those
who are His children.
So, you should not continue in your foolishness by
asking why God should come to Africa, the dark
continent, full of evil. When you continue to make such
utterances then you are not sane. And if I may ask, have
you not read your history? The Israelites were in bondage
in Egypt for many years. It was not long before that little
place in Jerusalem(Israel), was given to them to dwell.
God told Abraham to leave his hometown to a place He
would show him, and that He would later give him a place
where he would dwell with his people. You are aware that
from that time, no one knew where God had chosen for
Himself. Since He is God and His wisdom surpasses that
of man, He has started His work. Let the First Bible
Lesson be read; and you should listen attentively. Open
your heart and receive this word and go and ponder over
it.
First Bible Lesson: Romans 8:30
"Moreover whom he did predestinate, them
he also called: and whom he called, them he
justified: and whom he justified, them he also
glorified."
If God is the God of Israel, why do the Israelites not
know Him? Christ Himself testified that the children of
God hear the Word of God; you do not hear the word of
God because you are not His children. Brethren, have you
heard that? Only the children of God hear His word.
Those who are not His children cannot hear His word.
Can you see how narrow the way is. Those He had
first predestinated for this kingdom are those He first
called. Those He called, are the ones He justified and
glorified. Now what questions do you have to ask? Or
84
would you say that God made a mistake? If it is true that
the whites started the Word of God, why did God not go
to them and why has He not called them?
Right now the Church of England is laying empty,
the Archbishop of Canterbury HAS NO MEMBER
AGAIN. Wherever you go to you find the place empty.
Everyone stays at home. No one goes to church. This is
to fulfil what Christ told the Israelites when He said in
Matthew 23:38-39, "Your house will become desolate.
You shall not see me again until you say, Blessed is he
that cometh in the name of the Lord."
The people of the world are waiting for BCS
members. The first time Brotherhood visited Jerusalem,
all the people came out and received us; and they carried
our banner. Right now they are still hoping to see us
again. Upon the number of years other church
denominations have been going there they paid no
attention to them. But they rejoiced and welcomed
Brotherhood on our first visit. And they testified that we
came with great power.
Very soon BCS is going to be incorporated in
Israel, since we have been incorporated into Rome. We
are advancing very far. The Russians have started to
receive baptism, and we are going there to be
incorporated. The same thing goes on everywhere. All
the communist countries are asking us to come because
they now believe in the existence of God.
After John had baptized Our Lord Jesus Christ, Christ
started baptizing people through His disciples. The
disciples of John were angry when they saw Jesus
baptizing, and they went and told John the Baptist that the
one he had baptized was now baptizing people, and that
people were going to Him. But John said to them in John
3:26-28,"I have already told you that no man can receive
anything except it was given him from above." That is
why Christ said,"All that came before me were thieves and
robbers. The sheep did not hear them."(John 10:8)
I want you to be patient because God will call every
85
person. But He has to start with those He first
predestinated. He has to call them in turns until every
person is called. We have a song; part of which
says,"Prophets of old, here we are today." But you do
not believe in the words of this song. The Apostles of old,
here we are. The children of God, of old here we are.
You remember when the mother of the two sons
of Zebedee went and placed a request before Our Lord
Jesus Christ. She knelt before Him and Christ asked her
what she wanted Him to do for her. She said,"Grant that
my two sons shall sit, one on your left hand and the other
on your right hand in your Father's kingdom." Christ
asked her,"Can they drink of the cup which I shall drink?”
They said they could. He asked if they could receive of the
same baptism and they said they could. Christ affirmed
that they could do these but to sit on His right or on his left
was not his to grant. According to Him, that was for those
whom the Father had kept before the foundations of the
world were laid (Matt 20:20-23). You can see that every
position has been kept for people before time. All your
struggle now is in vain because it is too late. God had
elected His own people before the foundation of the world
was laid. And very soon people are going to see those
who He first predestinated. They are those He first called.
It is for this reason that He started His work here.
Do not doubt when a white man is called, or a black
man, or a child or the rich and the poor; they are those He
had predestinated. You are aware that in the beginning it
was only Adam and Eve that He elected and gave them
dominion over all fishes, all other animals and all
creations. Everyone spoke one language. Their food
constituted of fruits alone and Man and beasts lived to
together. There was no death, no sickness, no division,
there was only one language. This is to indicate to you
and the entire people of the world that we are one.
Whenever God elects somebody, the person is one
of those He first predestinated. So do not ask any
questions. All you have to do is to use this great privilege,
86
and do what is right, because this is the time we have been
waiting for. To say that you want to go and call your wife,
children, brothers, fathers or to trade first, will not help
you since this the fulness of time and the very last time.
If the kingdom was of the world, millionaires, popes,
professors, the kings and emperors, would occupy all the
seats. But since it is the kingdom of God, have you not
seen the situation? That is why Christ said,"No man can
come to me unless my Father who sent me draws him, and
I cause him to resurrect on the last day."(John 6:44) All
of us who are called are not worthy of the call. We are
not righteous, we did not seek for it, but our names have
been written in heaven. Our names are called from heaven
and not here on earth. But it appears that what you have
not spent money for, has no value for you. That is why
God has set aside this week for all the New World
Missionaries. Look around Brotherhood, you cannot find
those we call full-time workers. I have not yet seen those
who were first predestinated, called, justified, and
glorified. This is the greatest thing in this world and the
one to come.
Rich people will surrender their wealth, and ask to
be called, but they will not be called. The wonderful
preacher who has churches all over the world will
surrender them in order to be elected, but he will not be
elected. The kings of the earth who rule kingdoms and
nations will come down from their thrones, and ask to be
elected into the backyard, but they will be rejected. This
election is not done here. It is those whom God did
predestinate that He calls. This is not mundane or man-
made: it does not call for bribe or education, or weeping,
or anger; it is not what you wish to ask for. But those He
first predestinate He first called, it is them that He also
justified and glorified.
This is why Adam wept, prayed and fasted. But
God asked him to wait until it was time. From that time,
Enoch, Abraham, and the rest of the people had been
requesting to be elected into this kingdom. But the reply
87
had always been that it was not yet the fullness of time. If
it is not the fullness of time, nothing can be done. It was
for this reason that God sent His only begotten Son, Our
Lord Jesus Christ, that He should come and shed His
precious blood, and gather together all the children of God
who are scattered throughout the world. Since that time,
everyone has been waiting for the manifestation of the
kingdom of God.
Paul changed his name from Saul for the sake of
this kingdom. He forsook everything in the world. He ate
no meat; he did not marry a wife; he abandoned his legal
practice; he did not desire anything because of this
kingdom of God. Right now there are many who have
never married or gone near a woman since they were born.
They do not eat meat or fish. They have forsaken
everything while waiting for the kingdom of God, this
kingdom. Also, many are living in the forests as hermits:
they grow long beards, read the scriptures and conduct
investigation, all in the hope of having this kingdom.
There are many others who do not eat at all. They are
waiting for the manifestation of the Son of God. Some
communities that are as large as the Calabar Municipality
practice oneness. Everybody eats from the same plate.
There is no segregation, no quarreling, no fighting, no
anger, they do not drink, they do not indulge in the
preparation of concoctions, and they have been doing this
for the sake of this kingdom. Many places are operating
free medical services, free education, free housing.
Everything is provided free to the citizens. They are
waiting for this Kingdom.
That is why the Scripture says that the end will not
come until this good news of the kingdom is spread to all
parts of the world (Matt 24:14). You will be surprised to
see those who will be called into this kingdom. They are
those who do not drink, and they do not eat meat or fish.
People who do not marry, do not engage themselves in the
affairs of this world. And they will have no problem when
they are called into this kingdom. Since He is God, He
88
says that those He did predestinate, are those He first
called, and those He called He justified and glorified .
Do not take undue advantage of this situation. As you
have been a drunkard, a thief, a fornicator, do you still
want to continue doing those things? If not, then use this
opportunity to to retrace your steps. Do not forget that the
first shall be last and the last shall be first. What He has
done is what He has to do. Many people think that even if
they continue to fornicate, they have already been elected
but there are thousands or millions of souls who have
never married or had any business with women in their
lives. They are waiting for this kingdom, and they have
already been destined for it.
Take vegetarianism for an example. There are many
white people (overseas) who live on one banana a day.
Others have no business with food again. The oneness I
am preaching to you now is being practised by a certain
community in Yurubaland, where everything is done in
unism. Again, in Europe, many nations and people
practice communalism. They do this for the sake of this
kingdom. When such people will be called, where will
you be? The nations in Africa are in readiness. They are
asking to be called because they are prepared to serve
God. But they have not been called because, perhaps, they
were not predestined by God. Many people have sent
letters to the Father asking Him to reveal Himself to them
since according to them, they are prepared to serve God ,
but they have not been called.
People have forsaken drinking, secret society, and they
have surrendered their wealth for the service of God. What
they are waiting for is the call. The Second Bible Lesson
will now be read.
Second Bible Lesson: Romans 6:22
"But now being made free from sin, and
become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto
holiness, and the end everlasting life."
89
As you continue to confess your sins saying," I
have been angry, I have stolen, I have done this and that,"
do you know that you have already been justified? God
has never called any person because he is good or
righteous. He calls those whom He first predestinated. If
God has called us, justified and glorified us, would you
continue in your former way of life?
Since He has called us out of the world, and justified
us, let us bear the fruits of righteousness because the end
of it is everlasting life. And that is what is called
Missionary Work. Since you have been called out of the
evil world, you have also been justified and glorified to
rule with Him according to His promise. You should have
the virtues of love, humility, peace and harmony. We
should not fornicate or indulge in the preparation of
concoctions. We should bear fruits unto holiness.
Is it not shameful that whenever you embark on a
missionary journey to a place whose inhabitants do not
quarrel, drink, fornicate, or indulge in any evil acts, but
you begin to quarrel, fight, drink, or fornicate , what kind
of a missionary are you?
You are a missionary but you go out with your articles
of trade. You preach on one side and trade on the other
side. If after preaching, you tell them that you have some
articles for sale, how will they regard you? They will
consider you a mad person. There are many non-
Missionaries who own houses, but do not engage in any
commercial activities or fornication. Their major concern
is how to enter the kingdom of God.
There are people who fast and do everything to be
called into the kingdom of God, but they are not called.
But you whom God has called have no love in you; for
you are still angry, you are also looking for money, cars,
and many other things. You do not have time to go on
ministry work.
Christ has said that whoever sets his hands to the
plough and looks back, is not fit for the Kingdom of God
(Luke 9:62). You have heard about Mary Slessor and
90
many other missionaries. What they did was the Real
Missionary Work, and not what people are doing today.
All those who surrender themselves completely unto God
are the Missionaries. The name is the New World
Missionary and all those who surrender themselves unto
God, and do not fornicate, will be elected into this office.
All the virtues of a Missionary must be seen in you,
otherwise, you are not a Missionary.
Our first lesson says,"Whom He did predestinate,
them he also called, and whom he called, He also justified;
and whom he justified, them he also glorified," but you
still go and entangle yourselves with the things of the
world. What do you mean by this?
Everyday you confess that you did tell lies, drink,
fornicate, and do many other things. Is that how you can
reveal the glory of God? The church denominations are
forsaking many sins, but you who take the word of God to
them are asking for a woman's hand in marriage; you are
looking for money from people; you are angry and you
backbite and tell lies. What kind of teaching are you
taking to them? When you tell people that you have an
article of trade, they will want to see it with their eyes. It
is when you see a dying man that tears run down your
eyes. Therefore we must bear fruits unto holiness. We
have to be truthful, kind, merciful, and we must have all
the virtues of God which will lead us to eternal life. That
sister from the communist country who is married to one
of our brothers said she was taken to a certain church
denomination where she observed how the people were
quarreling and fighting in the church, and they concluded
that though they do not go to church in their place, the
people do not quarrel and fight. For this reason she
stopped going to that church.
Since God has called us, justified us, and bestowed
this glory unto us, let us live a life that is in consonance
with holiness so that onlookers will know that we are true
Missionaries; otherwise they will say that the kingdom of
God has not yet come. The Kingdom of God is love,
91
peace, and joy, there is no distinction between the Jew and
the Greek. We do not quarrel here, we do not cause
divisions, we do not fornicate, we are not angry here.
Every person lives in peace and joy with his fellow being.
DO NOT INVITE SOMEONE TO COME INTO
THIS KINGDOM BECAUSE NO PERSON CALLS
ANOTHER. IF THE FATHER DOES NOT CALL
SOMEONE, THAT PERSON CANNOT COME. It is not
like the things of the world which people buy with money
or use force to acquire. You cannot apply these methods
here. Whatever you were before, during the time God had
not yet called you, now that the invitation has been
extended to you, you must live a life that is commensurate
with the tradition of the kingdom of God. The Golden
Text will now be read.
Golden Text: Hebrews 12:28
"Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which
cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may
serve God acceptably with reverence and with godly
fear."
Brethren, have you heard that? Go to Okoyong today
and see what Mary Slessor did. As a missionary you
should act as a woman, a man, you lie on the bare floor,
fetch water for others. In fact, you should be a servant to
people. That is our way of showing gratitude to God for
calling us. If it were money, we would not have had it.
And so, even if we are cursed, we have to stand firm and
help those who curse us and do everything for them.
God has called you, justified you, and glorified
you. What have you done for Him? We should have a
thankful heart and regard everyone as ourselves. We
should no longer be angry. We should not fight again. We
should be prepared to sacrifice ourselves by doing every
good work, and show gratitude to God. As I look at you,
it appears that you lack a thankful heart. You do not know
92
that you have been called and justified and the glory has
been laid on your shoulders. Remember what the scripture
says:"Did the Israelites stumble that they may fall? The
answer is that it is through their error that salvation came
to unto the Gentiles.” (Acts 28:25-28) It will be because
of your error that others will take over your place, if you
are not careful.
There is a chief from Aba whom this call has been
extended to. He was baptized on the 24th of April, and the
Father asked him to build a cathedral in his area. Recently
he brought the keys of the building which has been
completed to me. He was formerly a member of the
Ogboni, Amorc and many other organizations. He has
burnt everything which he got from these places. The
other day, he brought three other Chiefs with him and
informed me that he has started building another Bethel.
Look at what this new member has done. What do you
think of yourself who boast of having been in Brotherhood
for the past twenty years?
Since you were called, justified and glorified, you
are still looking for the carnal things and you are still
holding to all the old things of the world. You are
quarreling and you are still angry, you still bear malice
against people, you are still looking for money
everywhere, you are still stingy and you do not want to use
your gifts for the service of God. Your ministry work
does not exceed one week. But there are people who have
surrendered themselves completely for the service of
God. When they come in, what do you think will be your
position? The call is still going on. We have it in a song
that Jesus calls them one by one, two by two, and three by
three until He calls all of them.
Let us who were first called not be the last because
of our evil ways. This Kingdom is that which nothing can
shake. If you fornicate, it is a loss to you. If you do not
practice the Word of God, you are to blame. Everyday this
kingdom continues to grow higher and higher because God
is calling the whites, and the blacks, people of all nations
93
and of every tongue and tribe. Go to London, America and
all over the world and you will see that Brotherhood is
spreading like wild fire. People have forsaken everything
for the sake of this kingdom. They have forsaken wealth,
husband, wives, positions and everything of the world for
the sake of this kingdom. But you are playing around the
corner. What is it that you are looking for?
Two weeks ago a certain reverend testified that he
had ten churches but has now surrendered all of them to
Brotherhood. When he was here in Nigeria, he did not
want Brotherhood. It was when he went to America that
God revealed Himself to him there. He consequently
started preaching Brotherhood right there in America to
the whites. When he visited Nigeria, he came with three
white men to see the Father and to surrender his churches.
But since it was our Pentecostal season, they could not see
the Father and those white men went home. They hope to
come again (to see the Father). Many other churches are
surrendering to the Father. What then are you doing? It
is the Father who is calling them. If you do not gird your
loins, know that you are not the only person God has
called.
Let us therefore have a thankful heart because
what is lacking in us is a thankful heart. It is ingratitude
which has killed you. You are asking God for money,
children and good health. Are those things greater than
this Kingdom? What is greater than having the Father to
call you, justify you and glorify you? What have you done
in return? Remember what Peter asked Christ: "We who
have forsaken everything, what will be our gain?" "Verily,
verily, I say unto you, that ye which have followed me, in
the generation when the Son of man shall sit upon the
throne of His Glory, ye shall sit upon twelve thrones
judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And every one that has
forsaken houses or brethren or sisters or father or mother
or children or land for my Name's sake, shall receive a
hundredfold and shall inherit everlasting life."(Matt
19:27-29).
94
 Right now the whole United Kingdom is in the
hands of the Father. The Father has penetrated U.S.A.,
Europe, Asia, Africa and the whole world. The harvest is
ripe; that is why you are sent out. But now you want to
trade, marry, build a house and finish everything before
you enter into the vineyard. Is this the way to become a
Missionary?
One stroke of the cane is sufficient to the wise. He
who has ears to hear, let him hear. May God bless His
Holy Words. A-M-E-N.

Let Everyone Bear Fruit Of Righteousness
Herald: Sat. Dec. 24, 1988 - Fri. Jan. 6, 1989.
NEITHER RACE NOR COLOR
QUALIFIES F O R T H E
KINGDOM OF GOD
I sincerely request you to pay
attention to this gospel today. It is a very short
gospel, but it is of great importance because it reveals
the grace and the benevolence of God to the entire
humanity This gospel shall serve as a warning to those
who still discriminate or segregate, saying we are from
Nigeria, Africa, Europe, America, Asia etc. This gospel
will be spread all over the world through all radios
and print-media This gospel reveals that God is no
95
respecter of persons nations or organizations. It is only
those who do His will and purpose that He knows. That
is why you are mandated to go and spread this gospel to
all the nations of the world because the children of God
are found all over the world. Some of them are in India,
Europe, America, Africa and everywhere . And of a
truth, it is only those who carry out the injunctions of
God who are His children. This is not a matter of men,
women or children, neither is it of black man, white man
or the colored people. There is no color in this kingdom.
The kingdom is only for those who perform the will of
God. And it is only those who do His will who shall be
admitted into this kingdom.
It is written that heaven and earth
shall pass away but God's word shall not pass away.
You have even begun to see its consummation. People
from all parts of the world, including America, India,
Europe, Africa come to occupy their positions in the
kingdom of God. If you have got the necessary
qualification, which is righteousness, then your
admission is automatic No matter your race or country,
be it France, or Africa, you are still in the kingdom. Do
not make claims because of your blood relations with
someone, and do or not be misled by the misconception
that this or that person is your brother or sister, for God
does not practice nepotism. If you want to use other
values and considerations elsewhere, do, but in this
kingdom, it is justice and fair-play which reigns.
Therefore nobody should ever imagine that merit or
righteousness which are the necessary qualification
would even be compromised. Consequently, only those
who practice the word shall be saved. You should forget
about the church you have founded or the bethel or
cathedral which you may have erected, if you don't do
God's will, all are in vain. Forget about all the things
you have donated or committed to the services of God,
for if you don't do His will, you shall not enter the
kingdom. For our Lord Jesus the Christ said that this
96
kingdom shall be taken away from you, and given to the
nations which shall bear good fruits. There you should
realize that this kingdom does not belongs to Nigeria,
Africa, Eastern world, Western world, but it belongs to
everyone who practices righteousness. It is very
important for those who are really seeking the kingdom
to readjust their thinking. Therefore those who had come
here for fun, or commerce should re-order their
priorities in respect of this new kingdom.
No matter how much money you
have, your riches or affluence cannot help you to enter
this kingdom. Your education, position or power cannot
enable you enter this kingdom either. Even if you are so
great that you can cause the day to become night and
vice versa, you will not enter. Why did the Greeks not
enter with all the wisdom and knowledge they
exhibited? Why did the Israelites not enter, and yet they
claim to own the kingdom? Why did all the other people
not enter, through all their fasting and prayers? Why did
the orthodox Christians and the Muslims not enter? And
similarly, if you don't do the will of God, you will not
enter. It is senseless for any one to go about boasting
that he will not leave his church, be it Roman Catholic,
Presbyterian, etc. simply because he either founded such
a church, or that it is the church of his ancestors. This is
the time for you to practice love, patience, humility,
meekness, mercy, righteousness, joy and peace, because
these are the virtues which would admit you into this
kingdom of God.
For anyone to glory in the fact that
this kingdom originates from Africa, Nigeria, or is from
the black race is futile. The kingdom could be taken
away and given to any nation which bears those fruits of
righteousness which are needed for entry into it. God
has to be born as a human being since he created man in
his image and likeness. He cannot be a tree, stone,
neither can he originate from the air, sea. Therefore the
fact of his place, or family, of nativity does not qualify
97
anyone to the kingdom of God. Neither does the fact
that he has revealed himself to you automatically entitle
you to his kingdom.
In the worldly course of things, you
can receive favor because you come from a certain
family, village or community, or when you have blood
relation with some people, but this is not the practice in
the kingdom of God. That is why the kingdom could be
taken away from you at any moment you derail from the
path of righteousness and given to those who are
qualified. I have been telling you that this hall shall be
filled to capacity with the whites, blacks, the colored
people all coming from various parts of the world. Do
not be surprised with what you have witnessed. This is
just the beginning.
As a matter of fact, love does not
segregate. Love does not backbite, love does not puff-
up. What you are witnessing now is the consummation
of prophesy of God which is that people shall come
from the North, South. East and West to receive to
receive this kingdom.
Whether it is a small child, an elderly person, a man or a
woman, whoever does the will of God shall have his share
in this kingdom. I want this gospel to be given to all the
brethren who have just arrived from abroad and to every
other person who is lucky to be there. My concern is not
for Great Britain, America, India, Russia, Africa etc, nor
for the whites, blacks or colored people. My concern is for
all those who practice the word and do the will of God.
That is why I often tell you that you do not know or
understand where you are. If you had known where you
are, you would have put into practice the injunction of
love one another which you are being taught every day.
This is because wherever and whenever you practice this
love, it gives you direct entry into the kingdom. There is
one Spiritual song in lgbo vernacular which says that
whoever has no backing once he practices the injunctions
given by Leader Olumba Olumba Obu, Olumba will
98
become his backing. So whether you have no father,
mother, wife, husband or children, all you need to do is to
practice the word of God, and Leader Olumba Olumba
Obu will be everything to you. This kingdom is not for the
rich, the millionaires, billionaires, the engineers, lawyers,
professor, etc. It is not meant for Nigerians, Africans,
Europeans or Asians. It is only for those who practice the
word of God. This gospel is for all the Fellowships
everywhere, so as to put a stop to all the witch-hunting and
intrigue. It will calm and solve difficult situations in the
affairs of our lives in our families and society.
As the political activities and elections
are due in Nigeria in 1992, this gospel will give enough
warning so be careful in whatever thing you do. We
should spend much more energy and time in the services
of this kingdom than we should do with the mundane
things of this world.
Let our second lesson be read and please be attentive.
SECOND BIBLE LESSON: MATTHEW 21:43
"Therefore say I unto you, the kingdom of God shall be
taken from you and given to a nation bringing forth the
fruits thereof."
Brethren, is that a parable or vision?
THIS IS THE WORD OF GOD; this is what shall come to
pass, and this too is what had come to pass. God did fix a
new day and He warned the Israelites, "When you hear His
voice, harden not your heart." If they had properly utilized
the first day, another day would not have been fixed for
them. It all boils down to the fact that the Israelites did not
enter, but the Greeks the Gentiles did. That was why God
out of His loving kindness fixed another day.
The gospel of this morning showed very
clearly that the Holy Spirit uses love, mercy, patience,
meekness, humility, temperance to rule over all humanity.
And these virtues of God are what His children should
possess or look for, rather than for cars, houses, wife,
husband, children and money etc. For if you own all these
mundane things and lose the kingdom of God, of what
99
benefit are they to you? And if you own material things,
but you have no ability to practice the word of God, then,
the kingdom shall be taken away from you and given to
those who are really qualified. What shall it profit a man
if he gains the whole world but suffers a loss of his life.
It is self—evident that it is better to get
into the kingdom of God with one hand or one eye, rather
than go to hell with both hands and eyes. Rather than you
to be a king in the kingdom of Satan, it is better to be a
slave in the kingdom of God instead of you to be a
millionaire in the kingdom of Satan. It will pay more to be
a poor wretched person in the kingdom of God. When this
thing was directed to the Israelites and today's
Christendom, they never believed it. This kingdom shall
be taken away from you and given to any nation that will
do what is pleasing to God.
If you ever think seriously about the
gospel of today it should be an eye-opener for you. It is a
great homework which should occupy our minds and
enable us re-adjust our thinking. All the Christian, the
Muslim, the churches, the politicians and all the occultists
should think about this gospel, and begin to come back to
their God and creator. Those of you who look for glory
from the hands of men, how can you at the same time
serve God.
This is the kingdom of God, and when
you have it, you become self sufficient, and you are
immediately endowed with the virtues of God such as
love, peace, joy, patience, endurance, meekness, humility
and righteousness. You would not need to go and plead
with anybody to do you a favor. Your community may
ostracize you, and say they have nothing to do with you
socially, or the family reject you for not toeing their line
of action; or even the church, or the government might
sack you from work, and you become dejected and
desperate, yet if you lose these, but enter into the kingdom
of God, you have in fact lost nothing at all. That is why all
true Brotherhood members do not look unto their families,
governments, churches, society or on any person for help
but unto God. And that is the more reason why we should
do the will of God who will never disappoint us. For, those
who practice righteousness, the eyes of God are always
focused on them. The Muslims, the Christendom and other
100
religious are looking for this kingdom of God; and since
all these people are looking for this kingdom, it is then
incumbent on us to re-arrange our own thinking so as to
take the advantage we now have, for getting a place in this
kingdom.
All evil-doers such a drunkards,
fornicators, murderers, back-biters, swindlers and thieves
have no share at all in this kingdom. Those who therefore
hope on this kingdom, should not commit sin, worship
idols, initiate themselves into traditional societies and
cults, such as Ogboni, Amorc and the rest of the secular
organizations and fraternities. Those who indulge in all
these demonic things are not worthy. Our Lord Jesus
Christ said unless you deny yourself of many worldly
things, hate your brethren, wife, children, husband or the
material things of this world, you shall not qualify for this
kingdom. If you do not take your cross and follow Him,
you shall not enter. Because the native doctor,
necromancer, and Satan shall laugh at you if you do not
have any share in it at the end. How shall you feel if you
see people from U.S.A., India, Europe, parts of Africa
come to have their share in this kingdom but you who
professed to have served God for twenty years, thirty years
and forty years are thrown out. It will be a great shame to
you who profess to be chairman of this Fellowship, or the
other, yet you are found to have been conspicuously
absent from this kingdom. That is why this gospel has to
be disseminated to all inhabitants of the world so that all
those who have been having a wrong concept that this
kingdom is for Biakpan, Nigeria, Africa should stop it for
nobody shall enter or have a share in it if he does not do
the will of God. They should no longer make such noisy
claims shouting allelujah as though entry into the kingdom
depends on such aimless noise making. If the Africans,
refuse to accept the kingdom and do its bidding, they will
lose. it.
All should realize that Egypt was the
cradle of civilization, but where is Egypt now in the affairs
of the world today? All forms of scientific, technological
and mathematical break-through in the
world today started in Egypt. The manufactures of
vehicles, aircraft and the rest of it, all the formulas were
101
initiated from Egypt, but today Egypt is still one of the
countries in the developing world. That is why it is
saidthat a wise man sees evil from afar and takes
precaution, but a foolish person wants it to happen to him
before he regrets later. The things of God are purely
spiritual and just. Nepotism and discrimination do not
come in. God neither compromises nor condones anything
evil. The question as to whether someone is your brother
or sister does not arise. Therefore all must endeavor to do
their very best to enter this kingdom, as this does not
require money nor material wealth. It only requires
righteousness. There is no god-fatherism in the affairs of
God. You should seek for the food that shall not perish.
Do not be despondent that you have no money, nobody, no
wife, nor husband, for all these are irrelevant in the affairs
of God; what is needed from you is only righteousness.
When you practice His word, that entitles you to direct
entry. You can ride straight and comfortable into the
kingdom of God.
Right from 1960, when Nigeria got her
independence, those who boasted of their positions as
Presidents, Governors, Ministers etc. have gone into
oblivion. It was just the same thing that happened to
former world powers such as the Babylonian kingdom, the
Medo-Persia, the Grecian and the Roman empire. All went
into oblivion and to rise no more. It shows the emptiness
of the mundane powers which you have very high regard
for these days. It is not only peculiar to Nigeria, many
other countries of the world and their presidents and
emperors have all faded away into nothingness. All the
noise, claims and counter-claims have all gone with them
into oblivion.
And the kingdom of Jehovah God and
His Christ which Daniel prophesied about, is now to be
ruling and reigning, and shall last for eternity. And of a
truth liars, thieves, murderers, swindlers, manipulators and
all the unrighteous, shall not rule again. The kingdoms of
this world have been snatched from the earthly rulers and
given to those who practice the word of God. Your
numerical strength does not matter; even if it is one man,
that one righteous man shall rule and reign alone,
irrespective of wherever he comes from. For it is written
102
in the Bible that unless Jehovah builds a house they that
labor to build it labor just in vain, and in the same vein
unless Jehovah watches over a city, the watchman watches
in vain.
You will remember when the ten virgins
went to a marriage ceremony. Five wise virgins put
sufficient oil in their lamps and had some reserve. But the
other virgins neither had enough oil nor any reserve. And
so when the bride groom delayed till mid-night, the oil of
the foolish virgins got finished. They went to the wise
ones for more oil, but unfortunately for them the wise ones
said that they had just enough for themselves and advise
them to go and buy theirs. And they went out to purchase
oil, and ever since then they these foolish virgins were yet
to come back and join the others. The door was shut
against them. I would also like to remind you about that
rich man, in the Bible who said that he had kept the laws
and the prophets. The rich man asked our Lord Jesus, what
else should he do to have eternal life. Christ told him that
he still had one hurdle to over come and that was that he
should go and sell all his belongings and distribute same
to the poor. And furthermore he should come and follow
him. That he would have greater wealth than he had ever
had if he complied.
God had already revealed this kingdom
to prophet Daniel during the reign of King
Nebuchadnezzar. Daniel told him many kingdoms would
come in series, each one fading away and giving room to
the next until, all shall have been completely destroyed
from the earth plane. But eventually that of Jehovah God
and His Christ would come and rule and reign for eternity.
And it was also predicted by Moses that at the close of this
age, prophet shall arise, and those who would not want
him to rule, shall be brought before him and killed.
Therefore let not the false accusations, abuses, curses,
humiliations which we have been receiving because of this
kingdom be in vain. Let our sleepless nights and other
sacrifices be not in vain. Let us not allow the things of the
flesh and the material considerations block our minds.
For, I say, that the kingdom of our Lord Jesus the Christ
has finally arrived. Brethren shall not be tedious unto you.
Let the golden text be read as I am not going to be tedious
unto you.
103
GOLDEN TEXT: MATTHEW 12:50
"For whosoever shall do the will of
my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother,
sister and mother."
The person who interprets this gospel,
and the person who shall write out this gospel those who
spread and those who listen or read this gospel and put
same into practice, should regard themselves as being the
luckiest in the world. This gospel shall be made into a
small pamphlets for distribution to banks, offices,
corporate bodies, governments departments, mercantile
houses and to all the fellowships.
Whoever does the will and purpose of
God is my mother, father, brother, sister, and relation.
GOD DOES NOT LOOK FOR ORTHODOX
CHURCHES AND THEIR CATHEDRALS. WHAT GOD
LOOKS FOR ARE THOSE WHO PRACTICE
RIGHTEOUSNESS AND DO HIS WILL. He is not
interested in the Duke Town, catholic or in any well
decorated sanctum or church buildings. He is not looking
for black or white or colored people, or any other things
for that matter, but for those who will do what is pleasing
to Him.
You must remember that sick person
who laid beside the pond of water for 38 years. He had
nobody to help him. When our Lord Jesus the Christ saw
him, He asked if he was desirous to go home. He told
Christ that it would be impossible for him to go home
since he had nobody to put him into the water so as to be
healed when the angels troubled the water. Our Lord Jesus
the Christ told him to take up his mat and go home. The
man automatically became well. Jesus the Christ was then
his brother and relation.
Therefore whoever does the will of
God, God will become everything for him. All the time
shouting," Jesus up," and, "Satan down," cannot salvage
anyone at all. What is really needed is to do God's will. It
is needless calling Jesus Christ your friend and brother
when you are not prepared to do His will. It is a reality
that people shall come from the North, South, East and
West to sit in His kingdom. A Russian, an American, an
104
Indian, an African who does what pleases God, shall be let those who have ears to hear, let them hear, may
admitted into the kingdom. God bless his words Ame Thank You Father.
-

There is no church, no person, no

organization or religion that is good enough rather it is
only those who do the will of God that are good enough to
be chosen. That is why we start from January to December
yearly teaching you to come to the accurate knowledge of
truth. For this is the only path to salvation.
What do you do with the glory and the
power of man which passes away soon? The time of glory
and pride of man has ended. And this is the golden reign
and rule of Jehovah God and His Christ. There is one
spiritual song which says that whoever is with God must
certainly overcome the world. Should we miss this
kingdom for anything sake after having suffered for it for
many years, it would be something pathetic.
I thank the Holy Spirit for this wonderful message of
salvation and spiritual liberation which He has so
graciously given to us. We thank the Holy Spirit for the
interpreter and the writer of this gospel for if our God had
wished that we should perish, He should not have sent us
this unique gospel of salvation. Brethren, God is true and
His words, are also true, and we are thankful to him that
He is not discriminatory. ‘Any country, nation, race, tribe, GOD USES THE HUMBLE
family, community and religion which does His will, will
get the right to be His children and He will admit them
into His kingdom. These are words of Gods, you have seen
Him and that is really what this new kingdom is all about
First Bible Lesson: Romans:9:25
Whether you are an Egyptian, an Indian, a Muslim, a "As he said in O'see, I WILL CALL
French man, a Buddhist but you do His will, He is your THEM MY PEOPLE WHO WERE NOT MY

you is to do the will of God. For when you do the will things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea,

said that a stroke of the cane is sufficient for the wise, Golden Text: 1 Corinthians 4:7

105 106
 "For who maketh thee to differ
from another? and what hast thou that thou didst
not receive it, why dost thou glory as if thou hast not
received it?"
Brethren that is the theme of our revelation tonight. If
we listened attentively to what was read to us we would
realise that it is wrong for one to be boastful of oneself.
It is a pathetic situation that man has not been given this
wisdom. If we were to understand that man is nothing and
that it is only God who has the choice to use man as He
likes, then nobody would have cultivated the habit of
being proud and pompous. For instance, God has not
called you because you are good, or worthy, but He has
called you according to His loving kindness.
No person should either be sad or glad because of his
position. Wherever you find yourself, that is exactly
where God has chosen to place you. He has not placed you
there because you are so bad neither has He placed you in
a given position because you are good. He places you
according to his loving kindness.
Whatever He wishes that you should be is what you
certainly will be; and what He does not wish that you
become, you will never become. For being the potter, He
has power over the clay of the same lump; to make a
vessel unto honor and another lump to make a vessel of
dishonor and you have no questions to ask!
I have not seen any reason why man should ask God any
questions. I have not seen any reason why any person
should boast. Neither do I have any reason to justify why
man should be sad and sorrowful, because it is Nature
which creates you, you do not create yourself.
If He wishes to elevate you today, He will exalt you. If
He wishes to abase any person tomorrow, He will bring
him down. Whatever He wishes you to be, you will
become what he wants you to be. Why then should people
boast? Why should people complain that God does not
love them?
107
Who do you consider to be those whom God loves most
and who do you consider is hated most by God? God does
not love anybody more than others, neither does He hate
any person more than others. He only submits to His will.
Whatever we refer to as an evil thing is not known by
God as evil. Whatever we refer to as a good thing is
equally not known by God as good. The only thing is that
God does His own will. Let us therefore not decide
whether something is good or bad. Do not ask questions
on why God should do something to one person, but has
not done it to another. Do not say that it was for some
other causes that made a certain thing happen. Whatever
happens to you should not be attributed to anything;
everything happens as God wills.
It is not as you wish, neither is it as man wishes, but all
are according to the will of God. We are lumps of clay,
and He is the potter. Do not ponder over whatever you see
in the world, but do accept situations as they come. Do not
even seek to know the causes of anything. The reason is
that the more we look, the less we see. This is the cancer
afflicting people in the world today. PEOPLE DO NOT
REALISE THAT NO ONE CAN KNOW THE MIND OF
GOD. REMEMBER THAT MAN PROPOSES AND GOD
DISPOSES
You have heard the text, it says and it shall come to pass
that those who were not my people, will be called my
people. This is the one thing that has shocked the
inhabitants of the world who would ask why a certain
person should become what he is; or why a certain person
does not become what we think he should be. Has not the
potter power over the clay of the same lump, to make one
vessel noble?
You should then realise that it is not of him who wills,
nor of him who runs the race. We should rest, content with
whatever position we find ourselves. I have not seen any
reason why any person should be fastidious, or frown or
do anything at all that may tend to question God's wisdom
for all the things that happen in the world, there is none
108
that concerns man. We have no hands in whatever takes
place in the world.
We have no right in these things and till tomorrow, we
shall not have any right in them. It is only the king who
knows the secret of His kingdom. This is the time God
has opened everybody's eyes so that everyone is satisfied
with the position God has placed him. You should not
determine that a certain man will perish, or that the other
man will be saved. Do not argue that what happens to a
certain person is the result of his evil deeds, or that
whatever good thing that happens to another person is
attributable to his goodness.
This is erroneous. We are vessels of God. He knows
whatever purpose He wants to use us for. We should not
concern ourselves with the affairs of God. All such
concerns would result in disturbing the mind. Sometimes
you may erroneously claim that God hates certain group of
persons, but I want you to remember that God does not
hate any person. God does not love any one man more
than others. He loves Himself and honors Himself and
thinks about Himself because He is all in all. There is
nothing that worries God, therefore nothing should bother
anyone. Whatever comes your way, give thanks to God.
Let not your heart be troubled for whatever you may see
from day to day. Whatever happens is in accordance with
the will of the Almighty God. And so brethren, I do not
wish to overload you, the first bible lesson will be read.
First Bible Lesson: Romans 9:25
"As he said in O'see, I will call
them my people which were not my people, and her
beloved which were not my beloved."
Brethren, have you listened to what has been read to
you? That explains why Nathaniel asked Philip,"Can any
good thing come from Nazareth? Philip told him," come
and see." Till today, most people do continue to ask the
109
same question: why should that evil man have good things
coming his way? Or why an abominable man should live
that long. Know this that God does His things as He likes,
and in accordance with His will. If He does anything such
is meant to reveal His glory, therefore do not be sad and
do not be joyous. It is what He had planned to do
aforetime. Hence, whatever happens, give thanks to Him.
At times you may think that a particular person is
suffering from his past sins, and at other times, you may
feel that a person is forgotten by God. If you say that a
person has been forgotten by God, then why does he say,"
And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was
said unto them, Ye are not my people, there shall it be said
unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God.
Sometimes it may suddenly occur to you that your
family has no future and you feel the more disturbed when
you look at another family progressing, I am telling you
that you should not be bothered, for as it is written in
Hosea," I will call them my people which were not my
people which were not my people, and her beloved which
were not my beloved."
This is an indication that God has not forgotten His
people, therefore do not ever think there is any situation in
which you find yourself that God is not aware of. In like
manner do not ever think that there is anything that is
impossible with God. Even if He digs the ground and puts
you in there, He is the person keeping you there; at the
fullness of time, He will bring you out from the heart of
the earth. Very many people argue that God has forgotten
about them, and unfortunately, this thought may even lead
them to resort to suicide. Remember that you may be the
one He spoke about that at the fullness of time, those who
were not His people, He would call them His beloved.
If you are in a lovely estate, be reminded that He has
a reason for keeping you there. The expression," and it
shall come to pass," relates to those are despised, those
who are not regarded by others, and those who do not exist
at all in the world; for it will come to that those who were
110
not my people will be called my people and in the same
token, those who were despised , those who were not
regarded as anything and those who do not exist at all will
be called the beloved children of God."
The commotion which sets in is that when He goes to
salvage such a person from that state, people would begin
to question why such a person should be lifted up. Some
would attribute it to juju, some attribute it to charms,
others to apparition, or mermaid, while some may argue
that such is not an act of God or if it were an act of God,
such an evil person would not be so favoured. Forget
about such postulates, because God had destined him to be
so lifted up. If
Our Lord Jesus Christ were to be the Son of Herod, or any
of the councillors, or lords, they would not have had the
boldness to ask who He was. What baffled the Jews the
more was that He was the Son of a mere carpenter and a
lowly placed virgin,and so they argued if He came from
God why should He be born into such a mean house. The
scriptures had advised that we should not prejudge, until
the Lord comes. For I know nothing by myself, yet am I
not hereby justified, but he who judges me is the Lord."
You should then not even argue that something has
happened to you because of the ill doing of your father,or
because you are an evil doer, or because of one reason or
the other. God has destined that such a thing should
happen to you. All what is happening in the world can be
likened to somebody moulding a figure with the clay, or
carving with a piece of wood.
If you carve the image of a human being on wood, or
mould it on the clay, putting the ears, eyes, mouth, legs
and hands on it, it will remain at the place you kept it
because it can neither walk nor see, nor talk, because it is
dummy. If you keep a wooden or clay doll on the table and
after some time you find it placed elsewhere it could not
have moved on its own accord,you have caused it to move
to the new position. As you keep the flowers here
according to your arrangements, you can also pluck any
111
type of natural flowers and keep them somewhere else and
if you do not wish that they be here tomorrow, you can
remove them from here and place them somewhere else.
So it is with what goes on in the world. You have
the right to throw away all the flowers into the bush
without regarding it as wishful damage. You have the
right to go into the bush to collect any type of flowers and
replace those you have thrown away,and no person
questions. Not that the natural flowers you now keep are
better than the artificial ones you have thrown away. The
reason is what you have decided to do in exercise of your
free will.
This explains why you find a man who builds a
twelve storey building but prefers to live in a thatched and
wattled-walled house. It is also the reason why a man,
born into an urban area goes to live in the jungle. This is
also why a money magnate builds a house or buys a motor
car accoding to his desire, at any point in time. So, all we
see in the world is the work of nature, and our creator. I
am giving you this sermon so that you do not bother
yourself unnecessarily about what goes on in the world
today.
From the start, man has never been anything before
God, but God alone is all an in all. If he wants to exalt
Himself, He will do it and if He wants to abase Himself,
he can do it. It is therefore not your brother nor any
person's bother.
Use this gospel to console yourself so that you may
not continue to quake and shiver and feel that you have
reached your end of the road, for you do not know why
God has exalted you neither are you aware why He has
abased you, but He knows the reason. When you do not
know why then do you boast of anything? This is why you
may reward a person as a man of substance today and he
feels so elated, but tomorrow he becomes a nobody. This
is why God says even for this same purpose have I raised
up Pharaoh that I may show my power in him and that my
112
name might be decleared throughout the earth. So He
raises us up in order to manifest His glory, and in the same
token, He brings us down so as to manifest His glory. It
is on this premise that it is said that everything works
together for good for those who love the Lord.
If your exaltation is profitable unto God, and your
abasement is also profitable unto God, what then is the
evil in any of the two actions? Since we are blind, it is the
figment of the imagination to say that a certain thing is
good and the other is bad. If we were to believe that God
is Omnipotent, Omnipresent, and Omnicient, then we
would not have bothered, because He is everywhere, being
all powerful, and being all knowledgeable- only His Glory
reigns. I do not think that there has ever been any other
glory apart from the His own glory. Any glory which He
has bestowed on any person is His, the love he has
invested in any person is His love. This is why it is not
usual that He selects the highly esteemed things to
manifest His glory and will.
If you did not understand the mechanics of the world,
you should place a ladder against a wall and on the
opposite side of the wall place a similar ladder. You then
begin to climb the ladder, placing your foot alternately on
the various rungs of the ladder until you get to the top of
the wall. From the top of the wall, you again begin to
climb down through the opposite ladder until you descend
to the ground level from which you started to climb. You
see, none of us is in existance and we are nothing in the
world. Only God exists and He is the `I am that I am.' He
merely keeps us as His own instruments to manifest His
Glory on earth. This is why he chooses the base things of
the world to put to nought the mighty things in the world.
Asking any questions does not bear any good fruits,
for He can use anything, no matter how base, to magnify
His glory, because He alone can bring into existence,
anything that does not exist. What is said," It will come to
pass also that those who were not my people will be called
the children of the God, He will cause them to be the
113
children of God. It will come to pass also that whoever
was deemed to be hated by God, He will lift him up and
declear this is my beloved Son, hear ye Him."
Up till today, those who returned from Israel have
testified that the Jews do not believe in Our Lord Jesus
Christ; they argue that the Christ has not yet come. If you
tell them to believe in His name, they refuse, maintaining
that He has not yet come, they are still waiting for Him.
The name of Our Lord Jesus Christ is on the lips of
every person, all over the world, but the Israelites are still
waiting for Him. Is it not a wonderful thing? The Bible
was written and translated into various languages and
dialects, and many people have known, and continue to
know about Our Lord Jesus Christ, but the Israelites
continue to confess that they do not know Him. Since it is
God's own pleasure to bring into existence anything which
does not exist, do you know that no person should
therefore ask any questions? Those of you who are highly
placed should weep and lament because we cannot
determine to what place you shall be downgraded. Those
who are in lowly places should rather rejoyce and shout
for joy for they do not know where God will elevate them
to. This is why the general Epistle of James advises that
those of you who are highly poor and lowly in heart
should rejoyce. It also says,`go to now you rich men,
weep and howl for the miseries that shall come upon you.'
So brethren, unless you have the spiritual ears, you
will not hear this Gospel. Let us search the scriptures
whether we have eternal life. The Bible is called the Ark
of Covenant. Brethren, I do not wish to take you further
than this, the Second lesson will now be read.
Second Bible Lesson: 1 Corinthians 1:28
" And base things of the world and things which are
despised, hath God chosen yea, and things which are
not, to bring to nought things that are."
114
 Brethren, have you heard the will of God? Do you
think that when God elevates you to the highest position,
He will ever take you higher than the one you find
yourself? If a king wants to his son to be king as well,
where is he going to rule, what about the other subjects of
the king, are they not capable of being kings? If the Son of
a king is made a king, it is not new, nor is it a thing of
wonderment, nor does it manifest the glory of God on
earth. It is the same thing like one being born into a ruling
family, and since the father was a ruler, it follows that the
child will also be a ruler in his own time. Such
enthronement therefore is no surprise to any person.
But when one is nothing, not easily recognised by
people, but is lifted suddenly by God unto the throne it is
a thing of wonder, and it is what gives glory to God. This
is why God has said." It will come to pass that He will
choose the base things of this world, something which is
despised, something which does not exist (From now on
watch the trend of events in the world) to use in bringing
glory to His name. We have a Spiritual Chorus which
consoles the afflicted that they should neither weep nor
lament for the Saviour is not still on the way, but He is
already in our midst.
The calibre of men whom God will elect to rule this
world with Him will spell great wonderment to the people
of the world. We have already started to see. It is thought
that those who attempt to work for peaceful co-existance
in the world, should be highly educated, should grow
beards down to their knees, should become professors and
gather many prominent people to themselves, but have
they been able to execute such plans? But those who are
nothing are rather selected by God to restore peace and
stability to the world; but the people of the world would
object to the selection of such calibre of persons to rule the
world.
Think of Pharoah, upon all his glory and highly
esteemed position, God rather had to choose Joseph to
manifest His glory. Remember also King
115
Nebuchardnezzar, with all his glory and radiance, yet did
God not choose a simple Daniel to manifest His glory? Do
not be flagabasted by the trend of events in the world
because God has always appointed base things of the
world, things which are despised to put to nought the
mighty things of the world. If we were to read the Holy
Scriptures between the lines, we would have cried and
lamented. When you go back home read James 1:9-11 to
appreciate why it is said let the brother of low degree
rejoyce in that he is exalted. Where will you down grade
a person who is already in a lowly position to? To what
position will you elevate any person who is already lifted
high? If you were wise, you would observe the stages of a
growing child who is born into the world, begins to grow
according to a definite stage of development, and you
cannot stop him from growing. When he grows to his
predestined height, he will stop his growth, and will
thereafter begin to grow down. Are you not surprised at
the cycle of life, somebody who had once been seeing
would no longer see again because he has lost his sense of
sight; a person who has been hearing has now lost his
sense of hearing, a person who has been walking cannot
walk again. As you are growing up, at the end of your
upward growth, you also have to grow downward
gradually.
It is only Our Lord Jesus Christ who understands this,
and that was why He said, " I go back to the Father,
because I came from the Father." Do you know that when
somebody is born, he comes from God and when
somebody begins to grow he grows up to God? Some
times people believe blindly that a certain man comes
from the hades or from the mermaid, this is erroneous,
every person comes from God and we all go back to God.
When you say a person dies, nobody dies,what
happens is that he goes back to God. Believe fervently that
everything comes from God and everything returns to
God. Whatever you see came from God and will not go to
116
any other place but to God. That was why Saint Paul said,"
For I am in a strait betwist two, having a desire to depart
and to be with Christ which is far better. For to me to live
is Christ and to die is gain, nevertheless to abide in the
flesh is more needful for you."
As you are here, you are with the Father, and when
you depart, you will go no other place but to the Father.
It is foolish to complain that somebody is dead and it is
equally foolish to testify that somebody is born. God who
created all of us used base things, things despised, at and
things which do not exist, just to bring to nought, those
things that are mighty. Sometimes when somebody returns
to his creator, you begin to cry and complain that because
he is dead, there will be nobody to fill his position in the
family. By this, you have forgotten that he may have left
a small boy behind, his heir, to fullfill what he says," And
it shall come to pass that He will use the base things of
this world to put to nought things which are mighty."
Sometimes there may be something in the family or
community which when the grown ups do would give no
glory to God, but after their demise, their small sons get it
done and the name of God is magnified. Remember
therefore that David wanted to build a Temple, but God
objected to his plan, keeping it for his son. It was not
because he was a murderer,but because God wanted to use
the work of his son to manifest His Glory. It has always
been the intention of God to use things which are base to
despise, and put to nought things which are mighty.
I am in sympathy with those who are proud,
pompous and arrogant. It is written in the Scriptures that
God resists the proud, but exalts the humble. It is
therefore advisable that you should not be proud,
pompous, arrogant,and foul mouthy, because you can
hardly know the will of God. It is the will of God to use
base things to select things that are despised, to magnify
his glory. Remember that if you hold yourself in a very
high esteem, God cannot select you to fullfill his will. He
says I am a jealous God. He will exalt you, and thereafter
117
will bring you down so another person from a lowly
position will replace you. The reason is to ensure that you
are not unnecessarily proud. It is the height of foolishness
for any person to say he is indispensable. As a point of
information, God had already executed His plan and
accomplished His will. He has already selected the
instruments of His rule and kept them in order. His will is
to use the base things of this world to put to nought the
things which are mighty. If we were to regard ourselves
as fools, by now God would have used us effectively for
it is His will to use foolishness to nullify wisdom. But
when one begins to show one's pomposity and arrogance,
professing that one is wise, that one is powerful,or that one
is indispensable, then God will use a very lowly placed
person to bring one to nought.
BRETHREN THERE IS NO PERSON WHO
KNOWS THE WILL OF GOD. HEAVEN AND EARTH
WILL PASS AWAY BUT THE WILL OF GOD WILL
NEVER PASS AWAY.
You have heard the story of how Pharoah persecuted
the Israelites. You have also heard of how Herod
persecuted Our Lord Jesus Christ. Inspite of that, Our Lord
Jesus Christ was still existing and the work of God is still
progressing. When you observe carefully, you will begin
to ask why the learned men, the fortunate and highly
placed and the millionaires are unable to practise the word
of God. The word of God will be better with millionaires
and highly placed persons, kings, emperors and the
traditional rulers, but God does not make it that way. He
has gone to elect the poor, the needy and those who do not
exist at all, to disgrace the high calibre of men in the
world.
Go and ponder over this Gospel you who would want
to become president or feel that a president is the be-all
and all. You who feel that being a governor or prime
minister is the end- all, read this. God uses the base things
to bring to nought things that are highly esteemed among
men. A great many of us induge in politics, hoping that
118
once we are there we will do many things for our families.
God knows our individual thoughts . He knows all our
thoughts are for nought. He knows why the world has
rejected Him. The people of the world seek after self-
glorification.
This is why He has said that he will use the base
things of the world to bring to nought things that are
highly regarded. That is why He says that all those who
seek to save their lives will lose them. But those who lose
their lives for His sake and for the sake of the gospel, will
be saved.
Except Jehovah God builds a house, he labours in
vain that builds it. Except Johovah God watches over the
city, the watchman labours in vain. Why then do you
disturb about the things of this world? Why do you boast
as if you created all that you have? If you had received
these things, without knowing the source, from where they
came, why then do you boast about them? Do you
know how you came into this world? Do you know where
you are now? Do you know where you are going to? Do
you know what is on the other side of the world? Do you
know what is on the other side of the world from whence
you came? Why should you boast? Do you not see how
man is so vulnerable? Do you see that the will of man is at
variance with the will of God? Man thinks differently
from what God thinks. This is why the Scriptures say," Ye
are they which justify yourselves before men, but God
knoweth your hearts; for that which is highly esteemed
among men is abominable at the sight of God.
WHEN YOU CLOTHE YOURSELF GORGEOUS
APPARELS, AND YOU START CALLING YOURSELF
A KING OR SON OF THE SOIL, REMEMBER THAT
GOD LOOKS AT THE INNERMOST PARTS OF YOUR
HEARTS, THAT IS WHY HE HAS CHOSEN THE
BASE AND DISPISED TO DISGRACE YOU.
Did this not manifest itself between David and
Goliath? But you have not learnt from such lessons. Did it
not occur between David and Saul? At that time God had
119
to choose the base things to disgrace the highly esteemed.
Never say again that God is not in existance. Do not ever
say that God cannot do this or that. You may ask why God
allowed Our Lord Jesus Christ to be arrested and killed.
Let me explain that He wanted to fool the wisdom of the
world.
If He did not allow them to arreste and kill our Lord
Jesus Christ, how then would His glory have been
manifested in the world? He used Him to reveal His glory.
Since He was killed and later resurrected, there had been
a great deal of commotion in the world. When all hopes
are gone the saviour appears. This is why when the people
went to Our Lord Jesus Christ and told him that Lazarus,
his friend is sick an is almost dead, he replied and said
unto them that the sickness was not sickness unto
death,but for the glorification of God's name.
In like manner all the things we witness do not
manifest in the way we should think of. Apart from this
way it will be impossible for us to enter into this kingdom.
All the happenings in the world are various ways through
which God reveals His glory on earth. Do not sit down to
make plans and arrangements, proposing to do this or that,
because at the end, the will of God will have to prevail. Do
not bother yourself about anything. Do not count yourself
as having anything, because we are all the instruments for
His work. He can cause Himself to exist and can cause
Himself not to exist. What you have to go home with, is
that, whatever position you find yourself, do not
grumble,do not be pompous, do not be arrogant.
Do not ever think that a man has been so elevated in
life and wonder what will ever bring him down. Before He
elevated him, He had already provided a lowly person
whom He will use in disgracing the elevated one. You
should continue to humble yourself even when God raises
you up, for this is why He says, that except we become
like a small child, we cannot enter into the kingdom of
God. The central problem of the entire world is that, once
God has elevated somebody, no other person should be

After God has elevated somebody, he will turn
round to say it is because of his wisdom or educational
attainments or through his own design, or making, or
ability, or plan, that he has attained the position. When
things will turn the other way round, what reason will he
give? I am telling you individually that it is neither the
result of your power of planning, nor your effort that you
have been so elevated. It is God who has elevated you up
to such a place according to His will to fulfill His promise
of using things that are dispised, to disgrace things that are
highly esteemed. God gave you all the children, he has
given you life, wisdom, and glory, therefore, there is
nothing that is yours. We have to humble ourselves and
become lowly before the Almighty God, giving Him His
Glory.
I do disagree with anybody who creates class
distinctions. There is nobody greater than the other. Be
you a learned professor, a governor, a president, a
millionire, or whatever you may be, don't discriminate for
there is no stratification; no one person is better or greater
than the other.
There is no difference between the black and the
white; there is no difference between a man and a woman.
All of us are equal. If you have been having the mind that
the white man is more intelligent, discard such idea. God
creates every person in the same way.
When you say somebody comes from a royal
family, what then do you understand by the
expression,"Royal Family?" When you say somebody is
from a poor family, what do you mean by the
expression,"Poor Family?" Do you want to tell me
members of the royal family never get sick? Or members
of a Royal family are never disgraced? Do members of a
royal family live on earth forever? Do members of a
royal family not get exasperated, or begrudge somebody,
or tell lies? Or are they never beset with problems and
difficulties?
123
Are members of a royal family not born of
women? Does this not show that no one person is different
from the other. If your pomposity is based on the fact that
you are wealthy or that you are wealthy or that you own a
costly car, or that you are a white man, you should know
that TO HUMBLE ONESELF TO THE GROUND IS TO
LIFT ONESELF UP. Do you know how you came into the
world? Do you know how you have been able to live up
till today? Do you know how you became a governor? Do
you know how you became a prime minister? Do
you know how to talk and convince so many people?
There is nothing that we have done, and there is nothing
that we know. The best thing is for us to keep quiet and
observe how God is doing His things in the world. The
greatest mistake that a man makes is to regard himself
greater and better than others. You may be greater than
the other because God has lifted you up to day. What
about the promise made to the lowly placed by God that at
the fullness of time, He will use the base things to disgrace
the highly esteemed. When He is lifted up what will you
do?
This is the promise of God and in all things
always, it is the will of God that prevails. Tell the rich and
highly placed, the wise and the pompous, those who feel
that they alone exist, that God says He chooses the base
things, things that are dispised, to reveal His glory. He
does not use a highly placed thing to disgrace the highly
placed, but the base things to disgrace the highly
esteemed.
You who are swollen headed because of your
children, you become rude and arrogant, you use your
money to oppress others, have you heard God has
promised? He says He will choose the base things of this
world to disgrace the highly placed.
The word of God says the barren will be a mother
of children and the mother of children will become barren.
Brethren I do not want to be tedious unto you, one
stroke of the cane is sufficient to the wise, those who have
124
ears to hear, let them hear. May God bless His Holy
Words.
Thank You Father.
LOVE IS THE INSTRUMENT
OF GOVERNANCE
First Bible Lesson: Matthew 22: 36-37
"Master, which is the great
commandment in the law?
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy
God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and
with all thy mind."
Second Bible Lesson: John 13: 34-35
"A new commandment I give unto
you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you
that ye also love one another.
By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples,
if ye have love one to another."
Golden Text: 1 John 3:23
"And this is his commandment,
That we should believe on the name of His Son
Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us
commandment."
125
BRETHREN, let everybody open his
ears, and eyes and broaden his intellect. Do not make
noise. Do not fidget. Listen with rapt attention to the
words proceeding out of the throne of God. That is
necessary because as the whites say, "start well, end
better."
Today marks the beginning of Akwa
Ibom State. Similarly, today is also the beginning of
Cross River State. Because it is only one person who
owns them both. The owner of the two States, who also
owns other states in the country, as well as the continent
and the world at large, sends this message to all the four
corners of the world.
This celebration is not exclusively for
Akwa Ibom, or Cross River, or Nigeria, or Africa, or any
particular geographical description. It is for the whole
universe. This celebration was designed before the
foundations of the world were laid. But as our Lord Jesus
Christ said, heaven and earth shall pass away but my
words shall not pass away till all are consummated. (Matt
24:35/Luke 21:33) Today marks the consummation of
the word of God.
Do not rejoice because of a state or a country. Do not
rejoice because of a city or in feasting. This gospel, the
word of the Lord, is the exhortation sent to you today. A
state is not a new thing. A country is not a new thing. A
Republic is not a new thing. Independence is not a new
thing. But the gospel now preached, is the new thing
before you.
It is said, a child who walks circumspectly will kill
what killed his father, but a child who does not walk
circumspectly, whatever killed his father, will kill him. It
is for this reason that Isaac told his son to hunt for venison
and make savory meat so that he cold eat and bless
him.Gen 27:3-4).
126
 Know this therefore that what we have gathered here
for, is not to thank God but to receive blessings. You
came to receive the key to the city of God which states and
nations lack. The Father says you should today come and
receive this key.
Today's gospel is for all generations. It is my wish that
it should be produced in a booklet and disseminated to all
parts of the world because it is the key to the Kingdom of
God as well as the foundation of any state. A Spiritual
song says, a child asks of the father in love, the Father
accepts to give to the child in love, and the child should
receive from the father in love.
People mistakenly assert that God does not require
anything from man? Who tells you that God does not
require anything from man? I want to declare to the
hearing of all the inhabitants of the world that God wants
something from you.
That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing
from a servant. In the same token, God told Abraham
when he was not given any land, when he was yet without
a child, nor where to step his foot; know of a surety that
your seeds should be a stranger in a land that is not theirs,
and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four
hundred years; (Gen 15:13-14). and also that nation
whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward they
shall come out with great substance to a land I have kept
for them and will serve me".
After they had been removed from bondage to that
promised land, listen to what happened. As you had
already been told through song, and gospel, do not forget
that the Israelites were under bondage in Egypt for about
430 years. Similar things to what happens now had also
happened in greater dimensions in those days. For this
reason, when Moses was sent to remove the children of
Israel from bondage from the hands of Pharaoh, God also
promised that he would harden Pharaoh's heart. (Exodus
7:3/14:4/10:20,24,27). In the end, Moses answered that
the people will neither believe him nor hearken unto his
127
voice. And the Lord said unto him, what is that in thine
hand? And he said, a rod. And He said, cast it on the
ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a
serpent. (Ex 4:3). God showed Moses other signs which
he has to use in persuading both Pharaoh and the elders of
Israel.
This goes to show that this is a shortcut to heaven while
the other is a very long route. Moses showed the signs.
He caused water to turn to blood but Pharaoh did not let
the Israelites go. I do not want to treat the story in detail,
but to make it as brief as possible so that I may deliver the
core of my message to you. Because when there is a
consensus, there is harmony.
You are the children of Israel and today history has
repeated itself. You will learn a lesson from the analogy.
The whites say, experience is the best teacher. You will
have your lessons to learn so that what befell them may
not come to you. All the same, to say God forbid does not
prevent the occurrence of death because what has been
written had been written.
What happened thereafter? At the manifestation of
each sign, Pharaoh promised to release the Israelites, at the
end of such a sign. At the end of such a sign, he would
refuse to keep his word and challenge that Moses should
do whatever he wished.
All the resistance by Pharaoh was caused by the Father.
This is so because God had told Moses to ask for the
release of the children of Israel but that He would harden
the heart of Pharaoh. All the happenings around are
caused by the Father. No man is responsible for any
event, neither shall man be responsible for any events
to come. That is the bit I want you to understand.
In the end, God told Moses that the Israelites should
celebrate a feast. He asked Moses that every man should
use a lamb, a male of the first year out of the sheep or
goats, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an
128
house? Everyone was to kill it in the evening and use the
blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper
door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat. No part of
the animal was to remain till morning. Whatever
remained was to be burnt.
You are familiar with the Spiritual chorus, thus, it is
only the king who knows the secret of his Kingdom. We
all float like oil on top of water. When He instructs you to
do anything, go and do so, no matter how stupid it
appears. Do it without questioning.
When the Israelites were celebrating the feast, the
Egyptians looked at them as inconsequential and stupid.
Early the following morning all the male first born in
Egypt, including Pharaoh's, died. After this did Pharaoh
ask Moses, Rise up, and get ye and the children of Israel
and go, serve the Lord as ye have said. (Ex 12:31).
Brethren can you see what feast can accomplish. Do
you see the handiwork of God. What man cannot do,
God can do.
Brethren, I do not want to expatiate in detail. I am
merely scratching the periphery. Connect the illustration
above to our own experience. I am merely linking up the
past with the present.
Realize that before, it was said that they shall come
to this land and serve me, there was a particular thing
they were meant to go and do. I do not want to delve
into the inconveniences they met on the way. I am using
this analogy as a premise so that we can guard against
what happened to the Israelites.
The exhortations you receive today were such as were
meant for you before the creation of heaven and earth. It
is for this reason that I say that today's lesson is a guide to
every home and state. No matter the volume, it will be
printed into a booklet so that if you want to depart from
the way, it would serve as a reminder to all of you.
When the children of Israel left Egypt, they thought
129
that the Canaan of their dream was an already built and
furnished city, which flowed with milk and honey. They
equally expected such provisions as store buildings, ocean
going steamers, money stored for them in hundreds of
thousands. They were eager to inherit that land.
Republicanism is not a joke. You blacks do not
understand the true concept of Republicanism. You do not
understand what is meant by independence. The whites
are also ignorant of its true meaning. The gospel I have
given to you, is meant for all Nigerians and Africans.
Today, has the whole world been given true
independence. Whatever was left will be released, so
that this injunction may be kept by all the inhabitants
of the world without hindrances.
Firstly, two spies were sent by the Israelites to study
what the promised land looked like. When they arrived,
one of them wanted to discourage the other concerning
what they saw. Throughout their exodus in the wilderness,
they had not met with as strong persons as the occupants
of that land. One of the spies wanted to go and tell others
that they would not be able to penetrate the land. The
other spy discouraged him from his pessimism.
When they returned, they told God that they had not
found that land. The land they saw, since they started
fighting, they had not met with such persons. Some
people had twelve faces, while others had four. They were
very gigantic. That was the land kept for their fathers by
God.
What reply did God give to them? God told them that
he had no other land to give to them, that the land they
saw was that promised. If they could, they were to acquire
it, if not, it was their business. That was the first hurdle.
Secondly, when they had completed the acquisition of
the land, Joshua stood up among his people and said,
choose you this day whom you will serve, whether the
God that had eyes but could not see, ears but could not
130
hear, legs but cannot walk, but as for me and my house,
we will serve the lord who brought us up and our fathers
out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
(Joshua 24:15)
Remember that God had promised to lead the Israelites
out of bondage to a land he had promised them, where
they will serve God. They no longer had to serve
themselves but on that land, had to serve the Lord God.
What can a murderer do for God? What can a person
who holds tenaciously to the traditional belief that God
does not die and the Ikpo masquerade does not die, able to
do for God? What can a person who says that God does
not die and so the Ekpe, or Obon cults does not die.
Do you not realize the situation clearly enough?
God has saved Nigeria so that we may come and serve
Him. God saves Africa so that we can serve Him. God
saves the entire world so that they may serve Him. He
has now created the Akwa Ibom State so that we may
serve Him. It is not for us to serve ourselves or to continue
in indulgence in the preparation of concoction, hatred,
murder and strife. If we should continue in this way, what
will be the use of such an act of benevolence? What shall
it then benefit God?
This now explains why you are today gathered here, to
be told, "This is my commandment that ye love one
another."(John 15:12). That is the commandment of this
new Kingdom.
We are all true witnesses to the fact that Cross River
State and indeed this part of the world lacks in economic
and political powers. But religious power is sufficient
unto us. God, even the Holy Spirit, is sufficient unto us in
this part of the globe. However, I do not want to delve
into that area, because it is better to inherit God from
your father and mother than to inherit wealth.
The scripture says, seek ye first the Kingdom of God
and its righteousness and all other things shall be added
131
unto you. (Luke 12:31) That is the great injunction. At
all times, the word of God is a two-edged sword.
After God had created everything, He commanded
Adam and Eve to freely eat, "but of the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it, for on
the day that thou eatest thereof, thou shalt surely die."
(Gen 2:17) God gave Adam the power of
superintendency over fishes, animals, birds, trees and
other creatures of God and also gave him the injunction
not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil for
any day he ate of it, he shall die.
Because of disobedience, the world is beset with
problems. At all times, God had a plan and purpose for
His chosen people. By right, the first thing you should
seek to know after manifesting on this plane is to know the
plan of God for you. You should find out why He has sent
you, who your maker is and what He wants you to do. If
you are a chosen of God and you do that which God wants
of you, you will reap the yields of this earth.
You will recall that during the exodus, before the
Israelites finally settled on the promised land, Moses went
to the mount to receive commandments from the hands of
God. The commandment stated why God wanted the
Israelites and what they were required to do. Today, has
the Lord set for Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Nigeria, and
indeed the whole world, to receive this commandment
from God in the manner given to Moses.
I want you to read Exodus Chapter 20. I do not want to
recite anything by heart. Many of you claim you are
Christians and do attend Qua Iboe Church, Lutheran,
Roman Catholic and so forth. Some claim to belong to
different geographical environment. Check yourself
whether you have conformed with the will of God as
prescribed in the portion. Exodus 20:1-17
And God spoke all these words, saying, I am the LORD

subjected to worshipping strange gods. Now that you have
been liberated, and have been given a state or land of your
own, you are free to love God with all your hearts, and
souls, and minds, and to serve the Lord God alone.
What happens to Nigeria, and Africa, and the whole
world is like unto what happened to the children of Israel.
What happens to all the inhabitants of the world is what
happened to Adam and Eve. That is why I tell you that the
word of God is a two edged sword. God kept gold, other
precious pearls as well as other good gifts of God in the
Garden of Eden and kept Adam and Eve to enjoy them all.
There was neither hunger, nor lack, nor sickness, nor
night. There was no problem. Nothing like quarrelling and
fighting among them. Man and animals lived together.
That was as long as he kept God's instruction and did not
violate the law of God by eating of the forbidden fruit.
But right from the time he ate of the forbidden fruit, God
removed him from the garden. Right from that day, man
became subjected to punishments and sufferings.
This explains why I tell you that a child who walks
circumspectly will kill that which killed his father, but a
child who is not circumspect, even what killed his father
will kill him. When the Israelites left the worship of
strange and false gods in Egypt, they were given the
commandment to usher in a new way of life. They
accepted the commandments with joy. But in the long
run, they returned to their former deeds, sacrificed unto
idols, poured libation to the gods of their fore-fathers,
committed fornication, murmured against God.
If you read 1 Corinthians Chapter 10:7-11 you will
see what happened to them. It is said, Neither be ye
idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The
people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
Neither let us commit fornication as some of them
committed and fell in one day three and twenty
thousand. Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them
135
also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. Neither
murmur ye, as some also murmured, and were
destroyed of the destroyer. Now all these things
happened unto them for ensamples: and they are
written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the
world are come.
The Israelites themselves, in the face of their fate,
regretted having come out of bondage, from the land of
Egypt. Today have Africans not regretted? Have the
inhabitants of the world not regretted? Can you not see
the magnitude of man's suffering. Where is life? Why are
things the way they are with you?
It is because you have forgotten the exhortations of the
Lord and have entered unto the path of iniquity. He saved
us so that we may serve Him but you had all the while
refused. It is for this reason that we are called today, to
bring to our remembrance all that we had forgotten and
reaffirm God's stand concerning His expectations.
What is going to be our instrument of governance in
this new Kingdom of God? Let our second lesson be read.
Second Bible Lesson: John 13: 34-35
"A new commandment I give unto
you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you
that ye also love one another.
By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples,
if ye have love one to another."
I have committed myself. You have
committed yourself. All of us have committed ourselves
by saying that God has given us the state. Here is God
giving us His first commandment to love Him with all our
hearts, and with all our souls and with all our minds. Now
our Lord Jesus Christ has spoken of a new commandment
which is to love one another. By this shall all men know
that we are the children of God.
136
 Our weapon of war here is no other thing beside
love. You can now see that if all Africans were to
possess love, or if the whole world were to possess love,
there would have been no problem.
It is not a man-made law. It is not the instruction of a
village or Clan Head, or that of a government. It is the
commandment of God. A new commandment I give unto
you that you love one another even as I love you. By this
shall all men know that we are the children of God.
Is it an apparition that has given you this state? Or is
it mermaid, or the Ekpe or Obon cults that has given you
this state? Is it man or money that has given you this
State? The state is given to you by Jehovah God and His
Christ. Therefore you have to obey Him. That is God's
injunction to us all.
It was for this reason that we were called. Our Lord
Jesus Christ re-emphasizes love at this creation of the
new state, that you love one another. That is the
required instrument of governance in this state, and in
the whole country of Nigeria, as well as the whole
world. This is the way of life that God wants from us.
It is for this reason that our Lord Jesus Christ says,
"other sheep I have which are not of this fold: them also I
must bring, and they shall hear my voice, and there shall
be one fold, and one shepherd." (John 10:16).
The person who has given us this state, is our Lord
Jesus Christ. His blood has amalgamated the inhabitants
of the world. It is neither angels nor man, whether white
or black. Our Lord Jesus Christ has liberated the whole
world so that we may live in love. It is love alone that is
our instrument of governance.
If independence were to be gained by money, Africa
would have remained in perpetual slavery. If it were
based on wisdom, Africa would have perished in slavery.
If considerations were placed on power, or any other
conditions, we would have had it tough. But since all
137
conditions are based on the love of Our Lord Jesus Christ,
His blood has redeemed us so that no one may have a
defense and that we may love one another, and walk
according to His commandments.
That is why He has called on us and indeed all the
inhabitants of the world. Whichever place is left
unliberated, whether it is South Africa or elsewhere, our
Lord Jesus Christ will liberate them all.
Our Lord Jesus Christ enjoins us, as the Father loved
me, so love I you, abide in my love. (John 15:10) Right
now, it is expedient for all Cross River or Akwa Ibom
indigenes to love themselves. All Nigerians, Africans and
the whites should love themselves. Everybody is
Brotherhood, and there it is meet and right for us all to
willy-nilly love one another.
When our Lord Jesus Christ told the Jews about the
doctrine of love, they said He was demented. If they had
practiced this lesson, they would have ruled the whole
world. Since you are the children of Israel, the Father had
given an instruction since 1983, and this instruction was
contained in a circular which stipulated that from a certain
time, people should refrain from all manners of sins, every
person should reconcile with their adversaries. Also,
every man was enjoined to live in peace. Later, all those
from the then Mainland part of Cross River State were
directed to celebrate a unity feast since they were the
children of Israel.
Here comes a requirement from our Lord Jesus Christ.
A new commandment I give unto you that you love one
another even as I had loved you. If we love all men, going
into nooks and corners, into waters and everywhere that
man is found, not only in Cross River State, or Akwa Ibom
State, or Rivers or Anambra State, but throughout the
white and black world. By this shall all men know that
you are the children of God.
There are many things we should
138
receive from the hands of God but for our disobedience
and stubbornness. There is nothing that love cannot
accomplish because love does no wrong to his neighbor.
Love is the fulfillment of the law. A new Commandment
is given to Akwa Ibom, Cross River State and indeed the
whole world that we love one another even as Our Lord
Jesus Christ loves us.
Even if you call yourself a pope or a bishop or Jesus
Christ, or Jehovah, if you do not love all men, you deceive
yourself with your hypocrisy and not God. It is a veritable
truth that only the children of God hear the word of God.
It does seem as if God wants to use the indigenous people
of Akwa Ibom to set an example for all the inhabitants of
the world.
This is evident because our Lord Jesus Christ had said
that as the lightening passes from the east to the west, so
shall the coming of the Son of man.If somebody says, He
is in the secret chambers, go not forth, if they say He is in
the desert, go not forth. (Matt 24:26)
Time was not when Our Lord Jesus Christ ceased to
exist. There was no time that God did not exist. There
was no time that there were not prophets. But if God does
not reveal Himself to man, no one will know Him. If God
reveals Himself to you, is this not greater than your
possessing cars, ocean going steamers, being a chief, or
governor?
The worldly achievements are but nought. The
greatest thing is for God to reveal Himself to you.
Throughout all the whole world, the place where God
reveals Himself more lavishly, where God is
conscientiously believed, is Akwa Ibom. You are a
true witness to the love of God to this group of people.
It is not an easy thing for a millionaire to know God.
It is not an easy thing for a member of secret societies to
turn to God. It is not an easy thing for a chief, or Royal
Highness, or Professor or any prominent young man or
139
woman to turn to God if it were not that God revealed
Himself to such a person.
As Our Lord Jesus Christ says, All things are delivered
unto me of my Father and no man knoweth the Son, but
the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the
Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him.
(Matt 11:27) This also explains why our lord Jesus Christ
asked his disciples, whom do men say I am? They told
Him, some say you are John the Baptist, some say you are
Elijah and others say you are Jeremiah. He turned and
asked them, whom do you say I am?
Peter rose up and told Him, you are Christ, the Son of
the High God. And he said to Peter, Simon, Bar-jona it is
not flesh and blood that has revealed this to you but my
Father who is in heaven. (Matt 16:17).
Can you not see the implications clearly? While others
are saying till our Lord Jesus Christ comes back, or
complain that Lord Jehovah has departed from us, here we
are with Our Lord Jesus Christ, with the Almighty God,
with all the angels, God is the supreme. Our Lord Jesus
Christ has revealed Himself to all from Akwa Ibom State.
There is no person to whom He is not revealed. Even
those who claim to be enemies, or those who claim they
are from other states, He has revealed Himself to them as
well.
Can you not see that we are a lucky set of human
beings. We are indeed the luckiest. Imagine the number
of people . Anywhere you go that there is Brotherhood,
you will find people from Akwa Ibom forming the
majority.
If there is a lucky place, Akwa Ibom is the luckiest. If
you are guided with this exhortation in all your dealings,
Akwa Ibom State will become a world wonder. I know
you have doubts in you. In spite of your doubts, go and
practice this gospel. Right from today, go and love one
another, and you will then realize the proven power of
140
God.
If Nigerians, practice this one gospel and love one
another, you will witness the progress in the country.
Love is the only thing to rule the world. This is the
reign of Jehovah God and His Christ. No other thing
reigns. Neither hatred, nor malice, nor man, nor death, nor
sickness, reigns. It is only our Lord Jesus Christ who rules
for ever. Let the golden text be read. It is your take home
package.
Golden Text: 1 John 3:23
"And this is his commandment,
That we should believe on the name of His Son
Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us
commandment."
Have you heard what is read to you?
That is all. These are the three most important injunctions.
Firstly, love your God with all your
heart, and with your soul, and with all your mind.
Secondly, love one another even as He
loves us. If you love all men, irrespective of state,
country or race, all men shall know that you are a child
of God. Finally, the golden text tells us, And
this is His commandment, that we should believe on the
name of His son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, as
He gave us commandment.
It is for this reason that whatever we want to say or
do, we begin with, "In the name of Our Lord Jesus
Christ". We do not just say Jesus because others answer
the name, Jesus as well. When you say Jesus, are you
referring to Bar Jesus or which? But this is our Lord Jesus
Christ; the more reason we say: In the name of Our Lord
Jesus Christ. Salvation comes from Him. If you want to
141
pray, or give testimony, or make any request, it is through
His name. In addition, you should show the expression of
love. Love one another as God commands you.
People contend that God has ten commandments. He
does not have ten commandments. The commandments
hang on this that you love one another, and believe in the
name of His Son, that is all. Ask all things in His name
and you shall receive.(John 14:13-14) If you believe in
the name of His Son Jesus Christ, you will love one
another as He commands us. Conversely, if you love one
another as He commands us, you will not fail to believe in
the name of His Son Jesus Christ.
It is said that faith goes with work. Faith without work
is dead. (James 2:26) You claim you believe in Jesus, and
cry out everywhere;" O! Jesus. But you are stealing,
committing murder, telling lies, indulging in the
preparation of concoction, drinking, and hating others.
Which Jesus do you profess? Your stand is not clear.
You claim that you have love, that you commit neither
fornication nor any act of sin, yet you do not believe in the
name of our Lord Jesus Christ. What you profess is in
vain.
love now preached to you is the

be used in this world and in the
world to come. Let all call on the name of the
Lord and He shall save them.
The reason why I have cited these portions is to provide
you ample opportunity to read at home. Many allege, that
Brotherhood is not a Christian organization, or does not
know our Lord Jesus Christ, is vampire. The taste of the
pudding is in the eating. Tell me any church denomination
142
that practices this gospel.
In Brotherhood, all of us love the Lord our God with all
our hearts, and with all our souls, and with all our minds.
We love no other thing apart from Him. Here we love one
another. Fowls of the air, and animals in the bush, we love
them all. We eat neither fish nor meat; talk less of killing
them. All the inhabitants of this world are Brotherhood.
Here we do nothing with any other name apart from the
name of our Lord Jesus Christ. We abide only in His love.
We do not submit to the ordinances of men. We do not
imitate any person. Our attention is focused on this word
of God. I therefore call on all and sundry, whites and
blacks, Cross Riverians and Nigerians, angels and men
and the created and uncreated things, to look at Him and
to trust in Him alone.
A stroke of the cane is sufficient unto the wise. I do
not intend to be tedious unto you. He who has ears let him
hear. May God Bless His Holy Words. A-men!

GOLDEN TEXT: ROMANS 9:13

"As it is written, Jacob have I loved,

143 144
but Esau have I hated."
Brethren, the gospel I am going to
reveal to you is hidden to mankind. This gospel will help
the entire world and make all people joyous. The joy will
extend to all creations, including the angels. It is in fact,
the revelation of the kingdom and glory of God.
It does appear the only thing the world
regards as the greatest evil is hatred. People fear being
hated, and they will normally go to any length to win the
friendship of their enemies. If you happen to be one such
person who is afraid of being hated, relax and stop
bothering yourself.
Hatred has been and shall continue to be
in existence. It is in fact a very handsome young man.
Wherever you go to, you will have to meet hatred and
experience it. It had been made by God to be so. You do
not have to be afraid of hatred because it does no harm to
you, and it does not disturb or prevent you from carrying
out your assignment and being yourself.
Of itself, hatred or enmity has no life,
and so it cannot hurt. It could rightly be described as a
motion picture which is brief and temporary, only
occasional and seasonal.
Hatred is created and maintained by
God the same way as day and night, the sun, the moon and
the stars; air, water, and the rest of other creation. These
creations are made and kept there in their places to fulfill
their various purposes. They do not prevent you from
carrying out your own assignment either. Therefore if you
perish, it is not hatred that has caused you to perish and if
you are saved, your salvation cannot be attributed to love.
God in his infinite wisdom created a
man and a woman, animals and trees, fishes and water,
etc, and the same way was hatred created by God. They
145
work together for the fulfillment of the glory of God and
also make the kingdom of God enjoyable. Love and hate
mean nobody any harm.
These two phenomena, Love and
Hatred, work together for good. Without them there is no
life, no exaltation, no debasement, and in fact, without
those two elements there is no God.
I am explaining these things to you so
that even if your family or village hates you, you will not
be bothered or affected. So that you will not even appeal
to them to cease hating you, knowing fully well that it is
the Father's work they are carrying out and it is the Father
Himself who does all things. Start from this day to
overlook that thing called hatred. It is a necessary
formality like any letter of the Alphabet, ABC.
Hatred is present everywhere; so is
love. As the rain carries out its specific assignment so also
does the sun. Hatred and love therefore work together for
the fulfillment of God's glory and will. That is why it is
said in the scripture that all things work together for the
good for those who love the Lord.
I am particularly thankful to the Father
for creating hatred and having it perform the wonderful
works it does. It is a very lovely phenomenon, hatred is. If
I tell you the advantages of hatred now, you will pray to
God to be hated. Hatred emanates from God and it is in
fact, the same God.
It is the same thing as saying that death
is caused by man, apparition, juju and all that! THAT IS
NOT TRUE, DEATH COMES FROM GOD, AND SO
ALSO IS LIFE, GOOD LUCK, ILL-LUCK, AND THE
REST OF THE OTHER THINGS. ALL THINGS
ORIGINATE FROM GOD AND THEY ALL COMBINE
TOGETHER FOR A SINGLE PURPOSE.
I have many things to reveal to you in
the scripture from the first Chapter in Genesis in the Old
146
Testament to the last chapter of Revelation in the New
Testament, so that you know who and God is. Every word
that proceeds from the mouth of God shall never pass
away without being fulfilled.
It is said in the scripture that the tree is
a combination of Good and Evil. The existence of Good
and Evil is therefore derivable from the tree. God also said
that whoever eats of the tree of Good and Evil shall die.
From the aforementioned, is death not from God? How
come you say then that death is the handiwork of man, or
tree, or mermaid or juju?
Death is a very handsome you man
bubbling with energy. Have you ever heard that death is
sick? It is said that good health is no indication of the
abundant life. Conversely sickness is no indication or sign
of death. You should not rejoice because a medical doctor
has certified that you are physically fit. Always have it in
mind that the handsome young man, Death is there.
It is one of the mysteries of life that I
am revealing to you. I have many of them, but for now,
one at a time. What I am giving you today is a summary of
the lesson so that you can walk boldly anywhere, fearing
nothing, and having in mind that whether it be sickness,
hatred, death, or any negative phenomenon, none of them
can harm you or do anything to you for that matter. I want
your mind to be free of fear so that you can go forth into
the world boldly and serve God.
Our Lord Jesus Christ had known this
lesson and that was the reason He advised you to love your
enemies. But that is the lesson the whole world finds very
difficult to practice. You have to love your enemies and
pray for the good of those who despitefully use you, so
says the Lord.
How do I just love my enemy and pray
for his good? It is the question agitating everybody's mind.
The Lord also said that His enemies shall become His
147
friends. He also mentioned that it is from those who dine
and wine with you that death comes unto you.
No problem whatsoever comes to you
from your enemy. All your troubles and temptation come
to you through your friends, so-called. Any day any evil
arrives at your door, know immediately that it comes from
your closest friend. That day also a good thing comes to
you, know that it is from your so-called enemy.
Do you now see the Word of God, how
God does his work? It is out of ignorance and fear that you
dread the your enemy. He wishes and means you no evil.
That is the reason Our Lord Jesus Christ
tells you to love your enemies, pray for the good of your
enemy, feed him when he is hungry and give him water to
drink when he is thirsty and clothe him when he is naked.
Brethren, the gospel you are hearing is
very a great and a tough one, but it is the recondite
wisdom of God I am revealing to you. Except the Father
gives you the ability, you cannot believe in this gospel, let
alone practice it. But I believe fervently that the Father has
given you the ability to put this gospel into practice.
Hatred is only a hiding place. That is
the reason I told you if you were to know the advantages,
the good things that go along with hatred, you will pray to
be hated. But hatred, as a vibrant young man knows his
work, where to go and when to go there.
That thing you call hatred does not
come from man, it is not even from this earth, it cannot be
felt, seen, or sensed. It is not of the earth. Equally, love
cannot be touched, seen, or sensed. It is not of the earth
and it is also intangible.
As one's love does you no good, so also
does anybody's hatred do you no harm. Both of them have
their various assignment to and they do just that. They
therefore do not disturb or prevent you from carrying out
your own duty. YOU HAVE TO PURSUE
148
VIGOROUSLY YOUR OWN ASSIGNMENT,
LOOKING STRAIGHT ON THE CROSS, AND
CARRY OUT GOD'S INSTRUCTION, WITHOUT
FALLING BACK.
You are living witnesses to the fact that
once the rainy season comes around the rains fall heavily
and persistently, people grumble and show resentment
over the rains. Apart from the fact that the weather is
always wet and cold, the heavy rains carry with them
certain diseases and other inconveniences. As time go by,
the rains cease and the dry season sets in. During this
season, the weather becomes dry and the atmosphere very
dusty. The sun become so hot that it scorches the earth,
including human beings. This season is also not without its
diseases and set backs.
God created all things in two: rain and
drought, sun and moon, day and night, man and woman,
good and bad, love and hatred, and other pairs. They all
work together for the good of those who love God and
serve Him.
Some people say it is the woman who
has spoiled the world. Others say that it the men. Both
conceptions are not true. The man and the woman work
together actually for their good and the fulfillment of the
glory of God.
Every body is complaining that there is
plenty of evil in the world today. No person should in fact
say anything against evil. Evil is itself as energetic as a
young man and it has its own assignment he set about
fulfilling.
Have you not heard that as it was
through one person, the entire world was visited by evil,
so also shall salvation and goodness come to many
through one person. It is also said that where there is
plenty of evil, good things abound there also. On the other
hand, where good things abound, there also will evil
149
flourish. It is the same mother who begets the false
prophet who also owns the true prophet. The mother who
gives birth to the rich man, also gives birth to the poor
man. Why then do you get yourselves bothered about
these phenomena? These things were created by God and
they have their specific objectives to fulfill.
Insomuch as you cannot prevent them
from fulfilling their obligations, you should not allow
yourself to be disturbed by them, in fulfillment of your
assignment. All of them are so temporary in nature, they
are visitors who leave your domain once they have
accomplished their respective assignments.
If therefore you have been alleging that
somebody hates you for one reason or the other, your
allegation is false. There is no reason for being hated. You
do not even know when you have hated or loved
somebody. It is a hidden treasure, the recondite wisdom of
God. The Father alone knows when you have loved or
hated somebody.
The Lord has said these things I am
telling you when nothing has happened so that when they
shall come to pass you are not taken unawares. A time is
coming when you shall be persecuted and killed by people
who think they are serving God. This they shall do
because they do not know the Father and the Son.
If you ask somebody why he hates
another person, there will be no cogent reason. If you are
being hated you should not bother yourself to seek for
some solutions. Know immediately that your turn has
come around to welcome and that young man, hatred.
On the other hand you may be so loved
by someone that you lack words to express the kind of
love both of you have for each other. Do not wonder or
want to know the source and purpose of such love. What
you should understand is that you are taking your turn to
experience the arrival of that young man, Love.
150
 You are living witnesses to the fact that
there is a time you will so love a particular person so much
so that you even wonder and think you are charmed. You
so love the person to the extent you are ready to surrender
your life. But all of a sudden you begin to dislike and hate
the same person you had loved so dearly, and his/her
presence upsets you and the mere mention of his name
makes your stomach ache. Yet if you are asked to say why
you have hated the person, you have no reason to give.
Take your rest and do not worry yourself, for it is those
two young men, Love and hatred that are at work. Let the
First Lesson be read.
FIRST BIBLE LESSON: JOHN 15:25
"But this cometh to pass, that the word
might be fulfilled that is written in their law,They hated
me without a cause."
Brethren have you heard that? Hatred
has no reason. Nobody hates you because you cursed him,
or got angry with him or refused him what he asked of
you. I hope that from today henceforth, you will no longer
worry yourself about hatred and why you are hated. It is
the handiwork of God that signifies the arrival of that
young man. Welcome and contain him as you go about
doing your own business.
What did Our Lord Jesus Christ do to be
hated by the entire world? He raised the dead, made the
lame to walk, the blind to see, the dumb to speak, and he
cleansed the leper. What offense did He commit for doing
all those things? If therefore the whole world had hated
and persecuted Him, what would have been the source of
salvation unto mankind? How in the first place would He
have been revealed as the Savior? That is the reason I said
151
that it is your enemy who exalts you and gives you glory.
They work hand in hand and in shifts.
As you have daylight, so do you have night, and as there
is love so there is hatred. Once one finishes his duty, the
other takes over from there. One is incomplete without the
other.
It is said in Ecclesiastes Chapter 3: "To
every thing, there is a season, and a time to every purpose
under the heaven...." Why do you not accept these things
brethren, and know that God is the essence of them all.
At no time will everybody love you or
hate you. At a particular time, some people will love you,
at another time, certain people will hate you. A whole
community, with the exception of one person, may hate
you. The one person could so love you that you feel
fortified and you lack words to express that kind of love.
On the other hand another person may
hate you to such an extent that you feel very insecure and
you would want to flee the area. No matter what presents
and favor you will do for this fellow, it will not reverse his
hatred for you. In fact the more you are benevolent and
kind toward him, the more he will hate you.
These things are made so by God. It is
either one or the other at a time. Any place these two
things, Love and Hate are not found, know that God is
absent in that place. If in fact you are loved by everybody,
know that you are lost; and if all persons hate you, you are
perished too. But ironically it has never happened and it
will never happen that you are hated and loved by
everybody at one particular time.
Whatever happens to you should not be
attributed to anything else, remember that it is the will of
God that it should take place. And whatsoever happens to
you is for the manifestation of the glory of God.
It is very surprising to people what I am
telling you now how you could love somebody whole
152
heartedly and do all sorts of good things for him yet the
person would hate you to the extent of not wanting to see
your footprints. In another instance, this is somebody who
is thief, a swindler and a murderer, yet he is loved by the
entire community, chieftaincy titles are conferred on him
and he is also declared a hero. Do not be surprised this any
longer when you see these things. Know each time that it
is nature's design at work.
That is the reason you are advised this
day to love everybody equally. When your enemy is
hungry feed him, embrace him, welcome him warmly and
give him water to drink. Do not allow hatred to bother or
prevent you from discharging your duties at any one time.
You should know that as a visitor and a stranger, the
existence of hatred at any port of call is temporary. You
have heard it read in the Scripture that "..... that the word
might be fulfilled that is written in their law. They hated
me without a cause." The reasons given that it is because
of one thing or the other that is why you are hated, are
untrue, therefore hatred started right from the time of Cain
and Abel.
What exactly did Abel do to Cain that
the latter decided to kill his brother? If you have been
giving the reason for hating somebody as being because
the one is a thief, fornicator, or a murderer, these excuses
are only flimsy and untenable. What reason is there that
the same person you have condemned is being loved by
another group of person despite the fact that he is
notorious? Do you not see that these things, Hatred and
Love do not come from man, and therefore your excuses
or reasons are mere suppositions? Neither hatred nor love
come with a cause.
Because it is written in the scriptures
that they hated Him without a cause, we should not seek
for reasons we are being hated. All of us have to be hated
without a cause too. What do you think also of the
153
statement that he shall see great tribulation and shall be
rejected by the people finally?
If therefore Christ was being hated and
derided and He suffered many tribulations from the hands
of people, who do you attribute your hatred and tribulation
to? Is it your parents, friends or relations?
If it has been written that you shall be
treated the same way Our Lord Jesus Christ was treated,
and even more, and accordingly, these things come to
pass, do you not think it is the word and will of God that
is fulfilled? If you were to believe truly in today's Gospel
you would not have your minds troubled by any hatred
and tribulations. It is the Father who worketh everything
for the glorification of His kingdom.
Your problem is that at all times you are
fighting against the will of God. This gospel is given to
you to strengthen your faith and open your eyes so that if
you find hatred or sickness or anything whatsoever at your
doorstep, you do not quiver. If hatred arrives at your house
welcome it and give it water to drink and food to eat. It
only comes as a visitor and it shall leave in due time.
What I am telling you now could be
compared to the right hand and the left hand. Many people
object to being offered the left hand to shake or given
anything by it. Every person wants the right hand. The left
hand they say carries bad omen. What actually is the evil
in the left hand? Whether it is the right or left hand, both
of them do the same work together to manifest the will of
God.
Disabuse your minds from today against
certain likes and dislikes. We have to like and appreciate
whatever things that are created by God. We shall be okay
if we like all things. It is said that,"In the beginning was
the word, the word was with God and the word was God."
Without Him, it is said, was not anything made that was
made. He is the originator and creator of all things.
154
 It has been prophesied in the scripture
that the Shepherd will be slain and the sheep shall scatter.
That statement was spoken by the Lord and written down,
sealed and delivered. Is there any person who is capable of
preventing it from materializing?
When Christ told His disciples that
night that they shall all deny Him, Peter replied that even
if the rest of the disciples would deny Him, he, Peter,
would not. The other disciples echoed Peter's statement
one after another. And to fulfill what has been nominated
in the Scriptures, all the disciples, including Peter, denied
the Lord, their Master, the night he was arrested.
Brethren, the greatest lesson with which
we shall overcome evil is not to allow ourselves to be
overcome by evil but we should rather use goodness to
conquer evil. It is only with goodness that you can
overcome evil.
When your enemy is hungry, give him
food, when he is thirsty give him water to drink. That is
the only way through which you will overcome the world.
Do not worry yourself about sickness, hatred, hunger or
death and the rest of such things. CONTINUE TO LOVE
ALL PERSONS.
Cease offering prayers to God
requesting Him to forbid and remove from existence
death, sickness, hatred, hunger, and the rest of such things.
Your duty is to continue to love all things so that the will
of God will fulfill.
Do not even say that you are being
hated because of your sinfulness. You should not also say
that it is because of your righteousness and goodness that
you are being loved and held in high esteem. Welcome
whatever phenomenon, whether love or hate, that comes
your way and know fully well that both of them walk hand
in hand for the fulfillment of the will and glory of God.
A worldly song says nobody should
155
laugh over some other person's mishap because ill events
are not limited to a particular person. What I have brought
to you is to regard whatever comes your way as being well
and good. That is the only weapon with which you will
overcome.
Another point is that never you say that
this thing comes from God but the other does not. If you
say that something does not come from God, where then
does it come from? Some people say that one's mishap is
as a result of his error or evil. Is that true? What error or
offense has he committed which another person has not
committed, and even more and yet, he is absolved?
What did Christ reply when His
disciples asked Him whether it was because of the sins of
that young man or those of his parents that caused his
blindness. He replied that it was neither because of the
sins of his parents nor his that caused him to be blind, but
that the man was born blind so that the will and glory of
God might be fulfilled.
Have you heard that brethren? Our
Second lesson shall be read so that from today, you cease
to question and wonder why you are hated, derided,
persecuted, and starved. You rather will from today learn
how to contain and accommodate any evil, and love all
things so you can overcome.
SECOND BIBLE LESSON: LUKE 17:25
"But first He must suffer many things
and be rejected of this generation."
Brethren, have you heard that? It has
been written that He must first suffer many things and be
rejected by this generation. That was a fore ordained
promise of God. Nobody on earth was able to or till date,
be able to prevent the fulfillment of that promise, not ever
156
the Lord Himself. If He has to suffer is it because of his
own sin or that of his parents or what? It is merely the
revelation of the glory of God and the fulfillment of his
will, the express rule of God. It is not because of
anybody's cause.
In the world today, everybody is gazing
into the sky gasping for Christ, the Savior, the Comforter.
If the same people turn around and reject Him in their
deeds, who is to blame? It has been written that many
things must he suffer and finally be rejected by this
generation.
Whose responsibility is it if, for the
fulfillment of that promise, the Lord is rejected? And on
the other hand, if He happens not to be rejected by this
generation, has the will and word of God not fulfilled?
Brethren, can you comprehend Nature's work?
That promise goes to fulfil the
statement that the stone which the builders rejected has
become the corner stone. There is nothing that happens
without a reason. Can you now realize that there is no
word of God without power?
Is there any person who can contest
God's plan and obstruct suffering from coming to Christ?
Is it also possible to please this generation and change
their minds to love and accept Christ? That is the reason
Christ called the people disobedient and light hearted
children who continuously resist the will of God as their
Fathers and great-grandfathers had done.
He added that those who believe not
what the prophet says right from the time of Moses, was
it not meet that Christ should suffer and then graduate into
His Father's glory as was predestined about him?
Have all the people and church
denominations who gaze into the sky, waiting for the time
and day Christ shall descend read the passage which says
that Christ shall suffer many things and be rejected by the
157
people of this generation? Do they understand that passage
of the scriptures? Who can contest and obstruct that
promise from fulfilling? If you resist that promise do you
not know it is the will of God you are resisting? And who
is he who is capable to of standing in the way of God and
oppose Him?
It was not written that when that person
talked about shall come, it will be written on His face "The
Prophet of God" or Messiah, or Holy Spirit or even
Jehovah God and His Christ. The person who comes and
suffers many things and is finally rejected by the people
automatically is the one written about. That is the only
way to identify whom those things are referred to, so that
His glory may be manifested.
When you pray God to forbid one thing
or the other, where do you expect then to be taken to? And
the good things you want to flourish around you, who is
the person who does not deserve them too? Give whatever
comes to you a chance to stay. IN FACT YOUR PRAYER
SHOULD BE THAT THE WILL OF GOD ALONE BE
DONE.
Is not surprising to you and everyone
else that despite the fact that you have heard and seen the
truth, patience, love, mercy, humility, and the rest of the
good virtues of God, yet none of you has the ability to
forsake sin? How many of you have refrained from sin?
If all of you accept Him and forsake
sins, how then will He suffer many things? How will the
will of Word of God manifest? That is why you have to
stay here and fight, quarrel, backbite, fornicate, and do all
sorts of evil things so that His many suffering will come
to pass and the plan of God be made manifest.
Andrew told Nathaniel and Peter that he
has seen the person about whom the scriptures have been
written. The things written about Him are the many
suffering, tribulations, hatred, and complete rejection of
158
Him by the people. Therefore if you find somebody on
whom all these things are fulfilled does it not occur to you
that the person is the one talked about?
Brethren, you will remember that Christ
healed the sick, cleansed the leper, raised the dead and did
many other wonderful things. But ironically when Pilate
asked the people the person they wanted to be delivered
unto them, they all shouted Barabas, a prisoner and a
woeful sinner, was released and set free.
Can the people indeed be held
responsible for their action? The answer is no. The reason
is that they were merely enhancing the fulfillment of the
Word and Will of God which has been written, sealed, and
delivered about Christ.
When He raised Lazarus from the dead,
the entire people and the high priest rose up against Him
that He had introduced strange things and teachings and he
has contravened their laws and customs. He was called all
kinds of strange names, among them Beelzebub and
demon. What evil thing did Christ do afterall to merit such
hatred, opposition, and total rejection? Is it because of the
dead he raised, the blind he restored sight to, or the sick he
healed?
He was destined to suffer many thing
and be rejected by the people. Instead they wanted Moses
whom they had not known and seen, claiming him to be
the only man of God. For Christ they said they did not
know from where He comes. And even when they went to
that blind man whose sight was restored by Christ and
inquired who restored his sight, and he replied that his
sight was restored by the Holy One of God, Jesus the
Christ, they all bullied him and asked him to shut up!
If you were Christ, you would have
been angry and you would have cursed the whole crowd to
die. Christ did not do so because He had known the
159
promise and will of God for Him and that the people were
only implementing God's ordained plan, so He would be
glorified.
If it has been written that He shall suffer
many things and be rejected by this generation. Does that
promise require lamentations, mourning, and crying or
fasting or pleading or prayers? Isn't it a thing of joy and
gratitude?
He said that He shall come in the name
of His Father but no person shall receive and rejoice with
Him. But if another person comes in his name, he shall be
received and welcomed by everybody. Has that not
fulfilled today?
The adage says that if evil befalls
somebody no one should laugh at him because mishap
selects no quarters. The prophecy saying that Christ shall
suffer many things and be rejected was fulfilled with the
Jews. They meted great punishment on Him and rejected
Him in the end.
Many of you today say that if you had
been the Jews, you would not have hated, persecuted and
rejected Christ. Are you sure that even up till today, you
are not hating Christ, persecuting and rejecting him?
If the Jews knew what they were doing,
why did Christ ask the Father to forgive them for they
knew not what they had done? Our Lord Jesus Christ knew
quite alright that there was ignorance on the part of the
Jews regarding the whole episode involving him and the
Jews.
Those who spear-headed Christ's death
were the Church denominations and their leaders. They
said He did not come from God; and that He was a demon,
and was healing through the power of Beelzebub. Even so,
what sins did the Jews commit in persecuting and rejecting
Christ? They have no case to answer because they were
merely implementing the fore-ordained plan of God: that
160
He will suffer many things in the first place and then be
rejected by this generation.
They were only employed and though
unconsciously, to do whatever they found themselves
doing. Even if you go to Jerusalem today and request you
want to see the Family of Christ, nobody will be able to
show you because they do not know Him as they never
wanted to hear anything about Him. Uptill today, none of
them is repentant.
I am telling you these things so that you
will be careful of yourself and cease speaking evil against
anybody. Hold unto your goodness and do not be angry
with any person, knowing fully well that everything
happens according to God's design and for the
manifestation of His own glory. Know also that the
fastidiousness of the goat cannot prevent it from being
sold.
That was the reason why when Pilate
said to Our Lord Jesus Christ whether he did not know that
He Pilate has power to release him or convict him, Christ
replied that he had no power to do anything except the
power came to him from His Father.
No person has the power to do anything.
It is the Father who does everything. Therefore when
something happens to you and you ask God to take it
away, does it mean that He was unaware of what has
happened to you?
Our Lord Jesus Christ was slapped left
and right and they spat upon his face. The people who did
this were even robbers, and He was mocked at by rogues.
Do not blame the rogues. Do you know that they too were
carrying out the will of God? It was so written that He will
suffer many things and be rejected by the people, after
which He shall then pass into glory.
And He left some words of consolation
that if the world hates you know that they first hated
161
Christ. If you were of the world, the world would have
loved you, and because I have chosen you out of the world
that is why they hate you. Let the Golden Text be read.
Listen attentively and hear the words of God.
GOLDEN TEXT: ROMANS 9:13
"As it is written, Jacob I have loved,
but Esau have I hated."
Brethren, can you prevent that
nomination from fulfilling? Jacob represented the whites
while Esau of the blacks. What offense did Esau commit
after all? He was the first born male child of Isaac and he
was also a hunter. Esau it was who shouldered every
responsibility about the Father's welfare and that of the
family too.
But, so that the will of God may fulfil
Isaac was blinded so that he will not bless Esau. God
declared that Jacob He loved but Esau He hated, and thus
would not have him blessed by Isaac. Tell me, if Isaac
were to have his sight, would he have been deceived of
Jacob?
Esau only labored while Jacob reaped
the fruits of that labor. Jacob was all the time enjoying and
relaxing with his mother, he liked and lived a luxurious
life. Esau was the man who suffered and he was the
Jackass who labored without rest. When his father Isaac
asked him to go and prepare him some food, as was the
usual thing to do, so he can bless him, little did Isaac know
that he would be tricked.
Rebecca who had heard what Isaac said
went immediately and contrived with Jacob and outwitted
Isaac and obtained the blessing meant for Esau. Jacob a
smooth-skinned person was made to become artificially
hairy skinned like Esau by covering his skin with the hides
162
of a ram.
When his voice almost betrayed him,
Jacob told his father a lie that his voice had changed
because of the stress of hunting in the bush. The two ideas
were master-minded by their mother, Rebecca. She was
only used as an instrument to manipulate the will of God
into manifestation that "... elder shall serve the younger....
Jacob I have loved, but Esau have I hated."
If Isaac was not blind that will of God
will not have come to pass. This proves therefore that his
blindness and indeed every other happening in that
episode was the handiwork of God. Can you now
comprehend the glory of God? Know it right from today
that if you happen to be blind it is for the glory of God. If
you see, it is for the glory of God. Whatever happens to
you is so made to bring glory to God. All things therefore
are caused by the Father and not the so-called evil one.
What do you understand by the
significance of the two sons Esau and Jacob? They are
twin brothers signifying two nations, the blacks and the
whites. If you claim to be hated and derided by your
kinsmen and your community because you were born
twins, are these people God?
You have it written also in the
Scriptures that the first shall be last and the last shall be
first. When Isaac had bestowed every blessing on Jacob,
Esau arrived before his Father with the food he had
prepared, requesting him, Isaac, to eat and bless him. Isaac
was very sad and sorrowful. He informed Esau that his
brother, Jacob had received his blessing and that none
was left.
Before this time Rebecca had instructed
Jacob to flee to her kinsmen in her village. Esau, unaware
of that fact, ran out with his gun after Jacob whom he
never found. For every action of God, there is a reason.
It was God who kept Pharaoh in the
163
position he was and hardened his heart so that His will
would be fulfilled. God needed somebody who will place
His children in bondage so that they will later be exalted
and His name be praised and His glory revealed
throughout the nations of the world.
It did not go without a reason, the whole
blessing bestowed on Jacob. The whites, whom Jacob
represents, are today's super-powers. They invent virtually
everything man-made; they are wise and courageous.
But the one thing God has denied them
is the Holy Spirit and the ability to put the word of God
into practice. In this circumstance who is he about whom
it was written that he shall serve the younger? Is it not
Esau, invariably representing Africa? As Esau was
exploited and rendered impotent, so also is Africa being
exploited and made beggars by the whites.
No white man, no matter how useless
himself, regards an African as a human being. Africans are
seen and regarded as subhumans. A very little white man
can command and toss about a battalion of Africans. Even
the entire world is forced to believe that God loves the
whites more than the blacks. I am telling you now to
watch is going to happen.
Therefore brethren the fate of the blacks
and white is neither because of their perspective
righteousness nor of their sinfulness. It is through God's
love and mercy. AS ESAU DID NOT LOSE
EVERYTHING THROUGH AND THROUGH, SO ALSO
SHALL AFRICA BE REMEMBERED AND RAISED IN
THE END. THAT TIME HAS NOW COME!
Whosoever hates you therefore is
fulfilling the word of God that,"Jacob I have love and
Esau have hated." The whites just have no reason for
hating the blacks. Ironical is the fact that whatsoever a
white man does can never be seen as wrong by the black
man. No matter how inept and corrupt a white man may
164
be, a black man will always love him and call him the
great.
The black man is suffering today from
colonialism, apartheid. No matter how hard he struggles,
he is never rich and prosperous. The whites are the
wealthiest on earth today. What is happening today is
traceable to Our Lord Jesus Christ who was revealed as
the one to come and suffer many things, and then of Esau
who was hated and exploited for no single reason except
for the manifestation of the promise of God. That is
exactly what is happening to today.
All of you are therefore called upon to
rise up and help yourselves by working with your hands.
That is the way the glory which had been reserved for you
will materialize. DO NOT HATE ANYBODY, DO NOT
BE AFRAID OF DEATH, HATRED, SICKNESS,
HUNGER, AND ANY OTHER KIND OF
TRIBULATION. THESE THINGS ARE ONLY
TEMPORARY. ALWAYS HAVE IN MIND THAT THE
FUTURE IS BRIGHTER AND THAT HE WHO
LAUGHS LAST LAUGHS BEST. DO NOT QUARREL
WITH ANYBODY, NEITHER SHOULD BLAME
ANYBODY.
IT IS A WONDERFUL THING
OF GREAT PLEASURE AND JOY THAT

THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS EMERGED IN

AFRICA.
A stroke of the cane is sufficient for the
wise. I do not want to take you further. Those who have
ears let them hear. May God Bless His Holy Words.
Amen.
THANK YOU FATHER.

THE PATHWAY TO
LONGEVITY
AND GODLINESS
FIRST BIBLE LESSON: PHILIPPIANS 3:18-20
"For many walk, of
whom I have told you often, and now tell you even
weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of
Christ: whose end is destruction, whose God is their
belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind
earthly things. For our conversation is in heaven;
from whence also we look for the Savior, the Lord
Jesus Christ: who shall change our vile body, that it
may be fashioned like unto his glorious body,
according to the working whereby he is able even to
subdue all things unto himself."
SECOND BIBLE LESSON: LUKE 21:32-37
"Verily I say unto you, This generation shall
not pass away, till all be fulfilled. Heaven and earth
shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your
hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and
167
drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day
come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it
come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole
earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye
may be accounted worthy to escape all these things
that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son
of Man. And in the day time he was teaching in the
temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the
mount that is called mount of Olives."
GOLDEN TEXT: 1 CORINTHIANS 15: 51-57
"Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not
all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment,
in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the
trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised
incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this
corruptible must put on incorruption, and this
mortal shall have put on immortality. So when this
corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this
mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be
brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is
swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting?
O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is
sin: and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be
to God, which giveth us the victory through Our
Lord Jesus Christ."
THE FINAL ADMONITION:
Brethren, this gospel deserves your entire
attention. Take note particularly of this gospel and go
ahead and disseminate it to every man. No man shall be
excused for his misdeeds.
168
 SPIRITUAL CHORUS:
EARTHLY THINGS SHALL CEASE
BUT WHAT IS MY FATHER'S
SHALL ENDURE FOREVER.
I am imparting these words to you in grief and
with tears because of your disobedience, and also because
of your gluttony and greed for materialism. Many burst
into laughter when I preach about fasting, abstinence from
eating meat and fish and drinking. They tell you in defense
that it is God who created meat and fish for human
consumption, and gave man the idea to brew wine. Many
also consider it an impossibility to fast for even an hour.
Note that any one who perishes, his blood will be upon his
head. This is the final advice and warning for the entire
world. To be fore-warned is to be fore-armed.
It has been prophesied that there will be three
days of darkness on earth. The trumpet shall sound and
the Holy Spirit descends. Every man shall be affected;
likewise, every being in heaven and on earth. If you are
caught up while eating, drinking, fornicating or engaging
in any evil act, would you be spared, or would you wake
up? The darkness shall be caused by God Himself.
Heaven and earth, you have been told shall pass away, but
not one jot of the word of God shall pass away without
being fulfilled. This explains why the words I preach to
you center on abstinence from gluttony, drinking,
fornication, deceit, and every manner of sin.
He says,"Be ye holy as I am holy for no evil
abides with me." The time is spent; in fact, it is much
closer than the tongue is to the teeth. It could happen any
moment from now. I have led you to the knowledge of
truth. Any therefore who perishes, his blood will upon his
head.
Let us re-examine the First Lesson.
169
FIRST BIBLE LESSON: PHILIPPIANS 3:18-20
"For many walk, of
whom I have told you often, and now tell you even
weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of
Christ: whose end is destruction, whose God is their
belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind
earthly things. For our conversation is in heaven;
from whence also we look for the Savior, the Lord
Jesus Christ: who shall change our vile body, that it
may be fashioned like unto his glorious body,
according to the working whereby he is able even to
subdue all things unto himself."
DETERMINANTS OF CONDEMNATION:
That is the Lord's promise. His second coming
will be to change all those who are earnestly awaiting His
coming. He will change us to His spiritual body wherewith
we shall live life everlasting. Such persons shall never be
sick or be afflicted in any way. Any who is found corrupt,
drinking, smoking, snuffing and being generally
disobedient shall have no place in the kingdom of God.
What will cause many to be destroyed is food and
other evil acts men indulge in. But whatever the number of
persons that will be found worthy, whether five or one
hundred or more, the same shall be saved. God has spoken
in Genesis 1:26-29, saying: "And God said, Let us make
man in our image, after our likeness and let them have
dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the
air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over
every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God
created man in his own image, in the image of God created
him; male and female created he them. And so God
blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and
multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have
dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the
170
air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb
bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and
every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed;
to you it shall be for meat."
THE VERDICT ON THE DISOBEDIENT:
That is man's food as designated by God. This is
to provide a holy place of abode for Himself in man. He
has come in this last era to collect those who have
earnestly been waiting for Him. Any, therefore, who
continues to be given to drinks, food, money, and other
material things shall perish. I WOULD HAVE
PREACHED THIS GOSPEL IN THE 18TH AND
19TH CENTURIES. I am warning you now because the
time is far spent, and the end is so near. Those who
continue to steal, drink, smoke, kill, tell lies, eat flesh and
indulge in other abominable acts have damnation as their
ultimate recompense. Those are the anti-Christs who are
doomed. I am making these declarations to your shame.
We have no passion for the things of this earth. Our
interest lies in the things of heaven. We are looking unto
God. The time is nigh for any man to stop being carnally
minded. There is time for everything. Now is the time for
us to be ready for Him. No sinner shall live, even for a
minute.
THE BANE OF GLUTTONY:
Those whose God is food shall perish also. Many
have used food to pollute their bodies so much that God
has no place to abide in them. The gluttons eat a lot and
develop pot bellies while others are obese. Where would
God abide in such a body? MAN IS THE TEMPLE OF
GOD AND WHOEVER POLLUTES OR DEFILES
THE TEMPLE, HE SHALL PERISH. GOD IS HERE
TO ABIDE WITH MEN. HE HAS COME TO
171
CHANGE US TO HIS IMAGE, SO THAT WE WILL
LIVE WITH HIM FOREVER.
God advices us for our own good. Only the
children of perdition shall be doomed. These are the
gluttons, the drunkards, smokers, and the carnally-minded.
Everything He had said shall come to pass. No glutton
loves God. All those who are carnally minded are doomed,
and they have no share in this kingdom. Look up! Look
unto Christ the Savior.
John had spoken that the one that sent him asked
him to baptize with water, and also told him that any upon
whom the Holy Spirit shall descend, the same shall baptize
with the Holy Spirit. John himself confessed that he bore
witness about Him and that He is the Son of God. The
Holy Spirit is now on earth, and He will change us all
to be worthy of Him.
FIRST WITNESS: LUKE 5:35-38
"But the days will come, when the bridegroom
shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast
in those days. And he spoke also a parable unto them;
No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old;
if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the
piece that was taken out of the new agreeth not with
the old. And no man putteth new wine into old bottles;
else the new wine will burst the bottle, and be spilled,
and the bottles shall perish. But new wine must be put
into new bottles; and both are preserved.
THE CAUSE OF DEATH:
The above highlights the problems plaguing the
entire world - the blacks, whites, and coloreds. It is the
source of death. The Holy Spirit has been denied access
into His temple.
JESUS' LOVE FOR ME IS BEYOND HUMAN
172
COMPREHENSION:
It is not common to find a true white man being
obese. Their men and women are smart and agile because
they are mindful of what they eat. A black man needs to be
pitied. He kills himself with food, but he will blame
witchcraft, juju, apparition and other non-existent things
for his plight.
The last days of this century are numbered. The
Holy Spirit is on earth and finally in control. The other
denominations do not have the least bit of this wisdom.
The Catholic is empty. When the battle is fierce, it is said,
the king takes over command. If God had not come by
Himself, it would be practically impossible to ask
somebody to fast without having your head chopped off.
Brethren, God's love is so great. If it were not so,
the world would have perished, because of the mundane
things, especially, food. A man will not hesitate to kill his
fellow man because of food. But for the Children of God,
it is not so. We are waiting for Christ. As He comes and
finds us ready and earnestly waiting for Him, He changes
us unto Himself. For such persons, there is no death, no
sickness, no hunger, and no problem at all. Even if you are
being shot at, you will not be harmed.
Our fortitude is in the Lord. Those who abide in
the flesh cannot stand any stress and they are easily swept
off by the wind. But those who abide in spirit are resilient
and undaunted.
THE ROAD TO SALVATION:
BY THIS GOSPEL THEREFORE,
FRUITARIANS SHALL FLOURISH ON EARTH. It
is not dependent on regular church attendance, or
acquisition of chains of degrees, nor does it admit of
prayerfulness. WHAT IS IMPORTANT IS
MORTIFYING THE FLESH AND KEEPING GOD'S
TEMPLE CLEAN. When people sought to prepare a
173
table for the Lord, He forbade them and told them that He
had food that they knew not of. His meat, He added, was
to do His Father's work and to love Him. That is how He
desires we should be. He has come to transform us and
indwell us.
PREREQUISITE FOR LONGEVITY:
Adam lived for 930 years. Today if a man is aged
60 or 80 years, he is considered to be too old. At 100
years, the person will have to support himself with a
walking stick. Man is so stricken with age because of his
corrupt activities of eating, drinking, smoking, snuffing,
fornicating, and destructive feeding habit. After three
pregnancies, Adam ran to the tree top to seek refuge and
to escape the matrimonial demands of Eve, his wife. Satan
met Adam there and inquired what he was doing but he
would not answer. God, after Satan had left him, asked
Adam what the matter was with him. Then did he tell God
that He was done with being intimate with Eve, and Adam
pleaded with God to kill the erotic urge in him. God there
and then killed that carnal lust in him. Adam returned to
his house and lived with Eve as blood brother and sister.
If this sexual urge had not been taken away, Adam would
not have lived for 930 years.
Noah lived for 960 years. What about you? You
kill yourselves very fast through your feeding habits,
fornication and other acts you indulge in. Our ultimate aim
everyday is to reach for food. This kingdom, therefore,
abhors food. Ours is fruit. Good health and everlasting life
do not depend on wanton eating. A finger of banana or a
piece of fruit with water can sustain a man and keep him
fit for decades.
THE BENEFIT OF FASTING:
Members of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star are
often mocked by their brethren when they find that they
174
are trying to fast or live austere lives. They quickly advice
you that you are inviting death if you fast or eat fruits
only. But ironically, the next you will hear of such
advisers is that they have passed on. Neither fasting nor
eating of fruits only can kill you. What really kills man
and even works against him is food. A local adage says
that what the patient relishes most is what kills him. There
is none of our sicknesses which is not traceable to our
feeding habits. That is the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth.
Many in this kingdom have tested vegetarianism
and they have proven it to be so good. If you do not
mortify the flesh, how would you be transformed? Let us
re-examine the Second Lesson.
SECOND BIBLE LESSON: LUKE 21:32-37
"Verily I say unto you, This generation shall
not pass away, till all be fulfilled. Heaven and earth
shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your
hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and
drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day
come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it
come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole
earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye
may be accounted worthy to escape all these things
that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son
of Man. And in the day time he was teaching in the
temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the
mount that is called mount of Olives."
MORTIFICATION BREEDS TRANSFORMATION:
Since the advent of Our Lord Jesus Christ, has He
175
ever been reported to be sick, hungry, afflicted or dead?
THIS IS THE LORD LAST GENERATION. THE
NEXT MILLENNIUM,(2001) USHERS IN ANOTHER
GENERATION. This generation, it is said, shall not pass
away until every word spoken by the Lord is fulfilled.
Heaven and Earth, it is also said, shall pass away but not
a jot or title of the word of God shall pass away until all be
consummated. If it had not come to pass yesterday, and
has not fulfilled today, it shall not fail to come to pass
tomorrow. Be careful that you do not miss this glory and
kingdom because of food, drink, and the things of this
earth. This is by way of pleading to all mankind
irrespective of your status, profession, stature, sex or
color.
The Holy Spirit has come to transform all men to
Himself so that we will be like Him. He is eternal and if
He transforms us we will be like Him. That is the last lap
of His duty- to transform men to His image. THE
CONDITION FOR SUITABILITY OR
QUALIFICATION FOR TRANSFORMATION IS
MORTIFICATION OF THE FLESH. YOU HAVE TO
FEED ON FRUITS TO EXPUNGE YOUR BODY OF
CLOGS. THEN AND THEN ALONE WILL HE RID
YOUR BODY OF EVERY MANNER OF SIN TO BE
WORTHY OF HIM. EXCEPT HE TRANSFORMS
YOU, YOU CANNOT BE WORTHY OF HIM.
THE EPITOME OF FLESH MORTIFICATION:
I continue to talk of our *EHIOPAIN BROTHER,
THE "I-MAN."
On foot, he travelled all the way from Ethiopia to Nigeria,
onto Calabar, using no artificial transport system. While
here in Calabar, he rejected every hospitality, so-called. he
was allocated a room in the Guest House, given two plates
of food to be sure he ate sufficiently, the sum of
N5,500.00 and new clothing. He rejected these favors. He
176
told his hosts that he liked meeting and talking with people
in the public and so he needed no accommodation. He
went on to say that he did not need two plates of rice,
neither did he need the money and clothing because there
were many on the streets who were in dire need of those
things more than him, and so these thing should be given
to them. He was captured, bound and cast into the sea, but
he was unharmed. His captors, on reaching home were
surprised to see that he had even returned home before
them, and he was hale and hearty.
Every injunction God gives man is for his good.
Disobedience bring untold hardship to man.
THE GOODNESS OF FRUITARIANISM:
The knowledge and goodness of fruitarianism is
too precious to be quantified in monetary terms. It is
knowledge which people pay exorbitantly to acquire.
Here, it is given to you free because it is the only the truth
that can go round. Even here in Brotherhood of the Cross
and Star, husbands conceal the goodness of fruitarianism
and self-mortification from their wives and vice-versa.
Fruitarianism is a personal therapy. A person who
takes no medication, indulges not in idolatry, gluttony and
fornication is full of power, both physically and
spiritually. He us over and above all principalities. Every
fruit is rich as a source of natural ingredients and nutrients
and each fruit has specific powers that are so efficacious.
This is the truth I have brought to you.
You call me leader yet you do not obey and follow
me. Many excuse themselves that they cannot be like the
Leader. If you cannot strive to be like me, am I an animal?
Was Christ an animal? What kind of a Leader do you think
I am? I LIVE AND TEACH BY EXAMPLE.
WE DO NOT USE CANDLES, INCENSE OR
PERFUME HERE. THE MOMENT YOU
SURRENDER YOURSELF TO CHRIST, HE TAKES
177
CHARGE OF YOU AND TRANSFORMS YOU.
THE NEED FOR FATHER:
A certain person who suffered from epilepsy was
first taken to the disciples of Our Lord Jesus Christ, but
they could not heal him. By merely taking same sick man
before the Lord, the sick person was healed the moment
the Lord lay hand on him. The disciples were marvelled at
the feat, having tried in vain to heal him. The Lord told
them they were people of little faith.
I need nothing from you, not even your money or
your estates. I desire that you heed these injunctions. It is
lack of faith that rendered the Lord's disciples ineffective.
The Lord told them that if they had the smallest faith they
would command the mountain to move and it would obey.
The ability, He said was however derived from fasting and
prayer. It would not take God a second to transform you to
His image. And once you are transformed by Him, you
will become as strong and solid as the rock.
MATERIALISM INHIBITS SPIRITUAL GROWTH:
When I often travelled in the fifties (1950s) on
evangelism, I moved with no food. And any city or
village I visited normally expressed gratitude by offering
me assorted food, goats, money, and other gifts, none of
which I would accept. The people would often think that
I had some charm that forbid such gestures. It was
unknown to them that those material things worked
against God and suppressed the spirit. Food is always
God's adversary and it inhibits spiritual growth. All those
who avail themselves of this opportunity and comply shall
be saved.
Many of you will be surprised how non-church
goers shall be saved whereas the so-called church goers
and even some of the members of brotherhood of the
Cross and star will perish. What will destroy you is your
178
insistence on drinking, smoking, eating meat, fish and all
your other avaricious tendencies. There are many outside
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star who obey the Father's
words immediately.
The taste of the pudding, it is said, is in the eating.
Try this gospel and you will realize its efficacy. IF YOU
SAY YOU ARE OBU'S CHILD, OBU'S BROTHER,
OR SISTER, DO YOU EMULATE ME? DO YOU
STRIVE TO BE LIKE ME? THE MOMENT YOU
STRIVE TO OBEY AND EMULATE ME, YOUR
PROBLEMS SHALL END AND YOU WILL BE
FREE.
Let the Golden Text be re-examined.
GOLDEN TEXT: 1 CORINTHIANS 15: 51-57
"Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not
all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment,
in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the
trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised
incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this
corruptible must put on incorruption, and this
mortal shall have put on immortality. So when this
corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this
mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be
brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is
swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting?
O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is
sin: and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be
to God, which giveth us the victory through Our
Lord Jesus Christ."
FAITH WITHOUT WORK IS DEAD:
Now that you have heard from the horse's mouth
179
you will turn a new leaf. The whole world is gazing at the
sky expecting the second coming of the Lord. They have
lost sight of the fact that faith without works is dead. How
can people claim to be waiting for the Lord yet they are
knee deep in sin? These are people who are still eating
meat, fish, they are fornicating, telling lies, killing,
drinking, snuffing, smoking, and living generally
abominable lives. Those who are awaiting the Lord have
kept their bodies holy. This they do by living austere lives,
feeding sparingly on fruits only, and fasting to mortify the
flesh. Once you do these things He promptly takes control
over you and transforms you unto Himself.
VEGETARIANISM IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE:
Vegetarianism has been preached time and again.
While few take it seriously, many laugh over it and do
consider such practice impossible. There are many here in
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star who practice
vegetarianism for one or three months, only to plunge
knee- deep into eating meat and fish, even in greater
quantities than ever before. Some of these fellows are
impressed upon or lured by their friends and relations to
eat flesh because by so doing they will not die. Out of fear,
these people run back to the things they had abstained
from.
FRUITARIANISM IS THE BEST OPTION:
The way of life, I tell you, is very narrow. Let us
all try to eat only the food of nature (FRUITS) which God
has asked us to eat. Our Lord Jesus Christ has said that if
a man ate not His flesh and drank not His blood, he shall
not have eternal life. The fruits constitute the body and
blood of Christ. For instance, what do you think coconut
water is? Is it not the blood of Christ? Fruits by
themselves, when eaten raw are medicinal. There is no
180
type of sickness fruits cannot heal. Fruitarianism, therefore
is the best dietary option. Whether you are impotent,
barren, faithless, unrepentant, or whether you are suffering
from heart attack, or whatever ailment, the moment you
adopt and practice fruitarianism you will be healed.

SECOND WITNESS: 2 CORINTHIANS 3:16-18

Nevertheless, when it shall turn to the Lord, the
veil shall be taken away. Now the Lord is that spirit,
and where the spirit of the Lord is there is Liberty. But
we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory
of the Lord, are changed into the same image from
glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN VEGETARIANISM

AND FRUITARIANISM:
This explains why you cannot preach the gospel
with courage. You are overwhelmed with the promptings
of the flesh. Once you listen to the flesh or admire
anything mundane, you are bound to fall. GOD USES THE HUMBLE
Vegetarianism involves eating things that could be
cooked, which is billed as dead. FIRE KILLS OR IT
RENDERS FOOD INEFFECTIVE. Fruitarianism
therefore is eating fresh fruits. A fruitarian is hardly robust First Bible Lesson: Romans:9:25
or obese, but he is always hale and hearty. A "As he said in O'see, WILL CALL THEM
FRUITARIAN IS MUCH CLOSER TO GOD THAN MY PEOPLE WHO WERE NOT MY PEOPLE,
ANY OTHER PERSON, AND HE IS FREE FROM AND HER BELOVED WHICH WAS NOT
EVERY FORM OF PROBLEM. BELOVED."
A stroke of the cane is sufficient for the wise. He
who has ears, let him hear. May God bless His Words- Second Bible Lesson: 1 Corinthians 1:28

THANK YOU FATHER. which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and
things which are not, to bring to nought things that
are"

Golden Text: 1 Corinthians 4:7

181 182
 "For who maketh thee to differ from
another? and what hast thou that thou didst not
receive it, why dost thou glory as if thou hast not
received it?"
Brethren that is the theme of our revelation tonight. If
we listened attentively to what was read to us we would
realise that it is wrong for one to be boastful of oneself.
It is a pathetic situation that man has not been given this
wisdom. If we were to understand that man is nothing and
that it is only God who has the choice to use man as He
likes, then nobody would have cultivated the habit of
being proud and pompous. For instance, God has not
called you because you are good, or worthy, but He has
called you according to His loving kindness.
No person should either be sad or glad because of his
position. Wherever you find yourself, that is exactly
where God has chosen to place you. He has not placed you
there because you are so bad neither has He placed you in
a given position because you are good. He places you
according to his loving kindness.
Whatever He wishes that you should be is what you
certainly will be; and what He does not wish that you
become, you will never become. For being the potter, He
has power over the clay of the same lump; to make a
vessel unto honor and another lump to make a vessel of
dishonor and you have no questions to ask!
I have not seen any reason why man should ask God any
questions. I have not seen any reason why any person
should boast. Neither do I have any reason to justify why
man should be sad and sorrowful, because it is Nature
which creates you, you do not create yourself.
If He wishes to elevate you today, He will exalt you. If
He wishes to abase any person tomorrow, He will bring
him down. Whatever He wishes you to be, you will
become what he wants you to be. Why then should people
183
boast? Why should people complain that God does not
love them?
Who do you consider to be those whom God loves most
and who do you consider is hated most by God? God does
not love anybody more than others, neither does He hate
any person more than others. He only submits to His will.
Whatever we refer to as an evil thing is not known by
God as evil. Whatever we refer to as a good thing is
equally not known by God as good. The only thing is that
God does His own will. Let us therefore not decide
whether something is good or bad. Do not ask questions
on why God should do something to one person, but has
not done it to another. Do not say that it was for some
other causes that made a certain thing happen. Whatever
happens to you should not be attributed to anything;
everything happens as God wills.
It is not as you wish, neither is it as man wishes, but all
are according to the will of God. We are lumps of clay,
and He is the potter. Do not ponder over whatever you see
in the world, but do accept situations as they come. Do not
even seek to know the causes of anything. The reason is
that the more we look, the less we see. This is the cancer
afflicting people in the world today. PEOPLE DO NOT
REALISE THAT NO ONE CAN KNOW THE MIND OF
GOD. REMEMBER THAT MAN PROPOSES AND GOD
DISPOSES
You have heard the text, it says and it shall come to pass
that those who were not my people, will be called my
people. This is the one thing that has shocked the
inhabitants of the world who would ask why a certain
person should become what he is; or why a certain person
does not become what we think he should be. Has not the
potter power over the clay of the same lump, to make one
vessel noble?
You should then realise that it is not of him who wills,
nor of him who runs the race. We should rest, content with
184
whatever position we find ourselves. I have not seen any
reason why any person should be fastidious, or frown or
do anything at all that may tend to question God's wisdom
for all the things that happen in the world, there is none
that concerns man. We have no hands in whatever takes
place in the world.
We have no right in these things and till tomorrow, we
shall not have any right in them. It is only the king who
knows the secret of His kingdom. This is the time God
has opened everybody's eyes so that everyone is satisfied
with the position God has placed him. You should not
determine that a certain man will perish, or that the other
man will be saved. Do not argue that what happens to a
certain person is the result of his evil deeds, or that
whatever good thing that happens to another person is
attributable to his goodness.
This is erroneous. We are vessels of God. He knows
whatever purpose He wants to use us for. We should not
concern ourselves with the affairs of God. All such
concerns would result in disturbing the mind. Sometimes
you may erroneously claim that God hates certain group of
persons, but I want you to remember that God does not
hate any person. God does not love any one man more
than others. He loves Himself and honors Himself and
thinks about Himself because He is all in all. There is
nothing that worries God, therefore nothing should bother
anyone. Whatever comes your way, give thanks to God.
Let not your heart be troubled for whatever you may see
from day to day. Whatever happens is in accordance with
the will of the Almighty God. And so brethren, I do not
wish to overload you, the first bible lesson will be read.
First Bible Lesson: Romans 9:25
"As he said in O'see, I will call them my
people which were not my people, and her beloved
185
which were not my beloved."
Brethren, have you listened to what has been read to
you? That explains why Nathaniel asked Philip,"Can any
good thing come from Nazareth? Philip told him," come
and see." Till today, most people do continue to ask the
same question: why should that evil man have good things
coming his way? Or why an abominable man should live
that long. Know this that God does His things as He likes,
and in accordance with His will. If He does anything such
is meant to reveal His glory, therefore do not be sad and
do not be joyous. It is what He had planned to do
aforetime. Hence, whatever happens, give thanks to Him.
At times you may think that a particular person is
suffering from his past sins, and at other times, you may
feel that a person is forgotten by God. If you say that a
person has been forgotten by God, then why does he say,"
And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was
said unto them, Ye are not my people, there shall it be said
unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God.
Sometimes it may suddenly occur to you that your
family has no future and you feel the more disturbed when
you look at another family progressing, I am telling you
that you should not be bothered, for as it is written in
Hosea," I will call them my people which were not my
people which were not my people, and her beloved which
were not my beloved."
This is an indication that God has not forgotten His
people, therefore do not ever think there is any situation in
which you find yourself that God is not aware of. In like
manner do not ever think that there is anything that is
impossible with God. Even if He digs the ground and puts
you in there, He is the person keeping you there; at the
fullness of time, He will bring you out from the heart of
the earth. Very many people argue that God has forgotten
about them, and unfortunately, this thought may even lead
186
them to resort to suicide. Remember that you may be the
one He spoke about that at the fullness of time, those who
were not His people, He would call them His beloved.
If you are in a lovely estate, be reminded that He has
a reason for keeping you there. The expression," and it
shall come to pass," relates to those are despised, those
who are not regarded by others, and those who do not exist
at all in the world; for it will come to that those who were
not my people will be called my people and in the same
token, those who were despised , those who were not
regarded as anything and those who do not exist at all will
be called the beloved children of God."
The commotion which sets in is that when He goes to
salvage such a person from that state, people would begin
to question why such a person should be lifted up. Some
would attribute it to juju, some attribute it to charms,
others to apparition, or mermaid, while some may argue
that such is not an act of God or if it were an act of God,
such an evil person would not be so favoured. Forget
about such postulates, because God had destined him to be
so lifted up. If
Our Lord Jesus Christ were to be the Son of Herod, or any
of the councillors, or lords, they would not have had the
boldness to ask who He was. What baffled the Jews the
more was that He was the Son of a mere carpenter and a
lowly placed virgin,and so they argued if He came from
God why should He be born into such a mean house. The
scriptures had advised that we should not prejudge, until
the Lord comes. For I know nothing by myself, yet am I
not hereby justified, but he who judges me is the Lord."
You should then not even argue that something has
happened to you because of the ill doing of your father,or
because you are an evil doer, or because of one reason or
the other. God has destined that such a thing should
happen to you. All what is happening in the world can be
likened to somebody moulding a figure with the clay, or
187
carving with a piece of wood.
If you carve the image of a human being on wood, or
mould it on the clay, putting the ears, eyes, mouth, legs
and hands on it, it will remain at the place you kept it
because it can neither walk nor see, nor talk, because it is
dummy. If you keep a wooden or clay doll on the table and
after some time you find it placed elsewhere it could not
have moved on its own accord,you have caused it to move
to the new position. As you keep the flowers here
according to your arrangements, you can also pluck any
type of natural flowers and keep them somewhere else and
if you do not wish that they be here tomorrow, you can
remove them from here and place them somewhere else.
So it is with what goes on in the world. You have
the right to throw away all the flowers into the bush
without regarding it as wishful damage. You have the
right to go into the bush to collect any type of flowers and
replace those you have thrown away,and no person
questions. Not that the natural flowers you now keep are
better than the artificial ones you have thrown away. The
reason is what you have decided to do in exercise of your
free will.
This explains why you find a man who builds a
twelve storey building but prefers to live in a thatched and
wattled-walled house. It is also the reason why a man,
born into an urban area goes to live in the jungle. This is
also why a money magnate builds a house or buys a motor
car accoding to his desire, at any point in time. So, all we
see in the world is the work of nature, and our creator. I
am giving you this sermon so that you do not bother
yourself unnecessarily about what goes on in the world
today.
From the start, man has never been anything before
God, but God alone is all an in all. If he wants to exalt
Himself, He will do it and if He wants to abase Himself,
188
he can do it. It is therefore not your brother nor any
person's bother.
Use this gospel to console yourself so that you may
not continue to quake and shiver and feel that you have
reached your end of the road, for you do not know why
God has exalted you neither are you aware why He has
abased you, but He knows the reason. When you do not
know why then do you boast of anything? This is why you
may reward a person as a man of substance today and he
feels so elated, but tomorrow he becomes a nobody. This
is why God says even for this same purpose have I raised
up Pharaoh that I may show my power in him and that my
name might be decleared throughout the earth. So He
raises us up in order to manifest His glory, and in the same
token, He brings us down so as to manifest His glory. It
is on this premise that it is said that everything works
together for good for those who love the Lord.
If your exaltation is profitable unto God, and your
abasement is also profitable unto God, what then is the
evil in any of the two actions? Since we are blind, it is the
figment of the imagination to say that a certain thing is
good and the other is bad. If we were to believe that God
is Omnipotent, Omnipresent, and Omnicient, then we
would not have bothered, because He is everywhere, being
all powerful, and being all knowledgeable- only His Glory
reigns. I do not think that there has ever been any other
glory apart from the His own glory. Any glory which He
has bestowed on any person is His, the love he has
invested in any person is His love. This is why it is not
usual that He selects the highly esteemed things to
manifest His glory and will.
If you did not understand the mechanics of the world,
you should place a ladder against a wall and on the
opposite side of the wall place a similar ladder. You then
begin to climb the ladder, placing your foot alternately on
the various rungs of the ladder until you get to the top of
189
the wall. From the top of the wall, you again begin to
climb down through the opposite ladder until you descend
to the ground level from which you started to climb. You
see, none of us is in existance and we are nothing in the
world. Only God exists and He is the `I am that I am.' He
merely keeps us as His own instruments to manifest His
Glory on earth. This is why he chooses the base things of
the world to put to nought the mighty things in the world.
Asking any questions does not bear any good fruits,
for He can use anything, no matter how base, to magnify
His glory, because He alone can bring into existence,
anything that does not exist. What is said," It will come to
pass also that those who were not my people will be called
the children of the God, He will cause them to be the
children of God. It will come to pass also that whoever
was deemed to be hated by God, He will lift him up and
declear this is my beloved Son, hear ye Him."
Up till today, those who returned from Israel have
testified that the Jews do not believe in Our Lord Jesus
Christ; they argue that the Christ has not yet come. If you
tell them to believe in His name, they refuse, maintaining
that He has not yet come, they are still waiting for Him.
The name of Our Lord Jesus Christ is on the lips of
every person, all over the world, but the Israelites are still
waiting for Him. Is it not a wonderful thing? The Bible
was written and translated into various languages and
dialects, and many people have known, and continue to
know about Our Lord Jesus Christ, but the Israelites
continue to confess that they do not know Him. Since it is
God's own pleasure to bring into existence anything which
does not exist, do you know that no person should
therefore ask any questions? Those of you who are highly
placed should weep and lament because we cannot
determine to what place you shall be downgraded. Those
who are in lowly places should rather rejoyce and shout
for joy for they do not know where God will elevate them
190
to. This is why the general Epistle of James advises that
those of you who are highly poor and lowly in heart
should rejoyce. It also says,`go to now you rich men,
weep and howl for the miseries that shall come upon you.'
So brethren, unless you have the spiritual ears, you
will not hear this Gospel. Let us search the scriptures
whether we have eternal life. The Bible is called the Ark
of Covenant. Brethren, I do not wish to take you further
than this, the Second lesson will now be read.
Second Bible Lesson: 1 Corinthians 1:28
" And base things of the world and things which are
despised, hath God chosen yea, and things which are
not, to bring to nought things that are."
Brethren, have you heard the will of God? Do you
think that when God elevates you to the highest position,
He will ever take you higher than the one you find
yourself? If a king wants to his son to be king as well,
where is he going to rule, what about the other subjects of
the king, are they not capable of being kings? If the Son of
a king is made a king, it is not new, nor is it a thing of
wonderment, nor does it manifest the glory of God on
earth. It is the same thing like one being born into a ruling
family, and since the father was a ruler, it follows that the
child will also be a ruler in his own time. Such
enthronement therefore is no surprise to any person.
But when one is nothing, not easily recognised by
people, but is lifted suddenly by God unto the throne it is
a thing of wonder, and it is what gives glory to God. This
is why God has said." It will come to pass that He will
choose the base things of this world, something which is
despised, something which does not exist (From now on
watch the trend of events in the world) to use in bringing
glory to His name. We have a Spiritual Chorus which
191
consoles the afflicted that they should neither weep nor
lament for the Saviour is not still on the way, but He G
is already in our midst.
The calibre of men whom God will elect to rule this
world with Him will spell great wonderment to the people
of the world. We have already started to see. It is thought
that those who attempt to work for peaceful co-existance
in the world, should be highly educated, should grow
beards down to their knees, should become professors and
gather many prominent people to themselves, but have
they been able to execute such plans? But those who are
nothing are rather selected by God to restore peace and
stability to the world; but the people of the world would
object to the selection of such calibre of persons to rule the
world.
Think of Pharoah, upon all his glory and highly
esteemed position, God rather had to choose Joseph to
manifest His glory. Remember also King
Nebuchardnezzar, with all his glory and radiance, yet did
God not choose a simple Daniel to manifest His glory? Do
not be flagabasted by the trend of events in the world
because God has always appointed base things of the
world, things which are despised to put to nought the
mighty things of the world. If we were to read the Holy
Scriptures between the lines, we would have cried and
lamented. When you go back home read James 1:9-11 to
appreciate why it is said let the brother of low degree
rejoyce in that he is exalted. Where will you down grade
a person who is already in a lowly position to? To what
position will you elevate any person who is already lifted
high? If you were wise, you would observe the stages of a
growing child who is born into the world, begins to grow
according to a definite stage of development, and you
cannot stop him from growing. When he grows to his
predestined height, he will stop his growth, and will
thereafter begin to grow down. Are you not surprised at
192
the cycle of life, somebody who had once been seeing
would no longer see again because he has lost his sense of
sight; a person who has been hearing has now lost his
sense of hearing, a person who has been walking cannot
walk again. As you are growing up, at the end of your
upward growth, you also have to grow downward
gradually.
It is only Our Lord Jesus Christ who understands this,
and that was why He said, " I go back to the Father,
because I came from the Father." Do you know that when
somebody is born, he comes from God and when
somebody begins to grow he grows up to God? Some
times people believe blindly that a certain man comes
from the hades or from the mermaid, this is erroneous,
every person comes from God and we all go back to God.
When you say a person dies, nobody dies,what
happens is that he goes back to God. Believe fervently that
everything comes from God and everything returns to
God. Whatever you see came from God and will not go to
any other place but to God. That was why Saint Paul said,"
For I am in a strait betwist two, having a desire to depart
and to be with Christ which is far better. For to me to live
is Christ and to die is gain, nevertheless to abide in the
flesh is more needful for you."
As you are here, you are with the Father, and when
you depart, you will go no other place but to the Father.
It is foolish to complain that somebody is dead and it is
equally foolish to testify that somebody is born. God who
created all of us used base things, things despised, at and
things which do not exist, just to bring to nought, those
things that are mighty. Sometimes when somebody returns
to his creator, you begin to cry and complain that because
he is dead, there will be nobody to fill his position in the
family. By this, you have forgotten that he may have left
a small boy behind, his heir, to fullfill what he says," And
193
it shall come to pass that He will use the base things of
this world to put to nought things which are mighty."
Sometimes there may be something in the family or
community which when the grown ups do would give no
glory to God, but after their demise, their small sons get it
done and the name of God is magnified. Remember
therefore that David wanted to build a Temple, but God
objected to his plan, keeping it for his son. It was not
because he was a murderer,but because God wanted to use
the work of his son to manifest His Glory. It has always
been the intention of God to use things which are base to
despise, and put to nought things which are mighty.
I am in sympathy with those who are proud,
pompous and arrogant. It is written in the Scriptures that
God resists the proud, but exalts the humble. It is
therefore advisable that you should not be proud,
pompous, arrogant,and foul mouthy, because you can
hardly know the will of God. It is the will of God to use
base things to select things that are despised, to magnify
his glory. Remember that if you hold yourself in a very
high esteem, God cannot select you to fullfill his will. He
says I am a jealous God. He will exalt you, and thereafter
will bring you down so another person from a lowly
position will replace you. The reason is to ensure that you
are not unnecessarily proud. It is the height of foolishness
for any person to say he is indispensable. As a point of
information, God had already executed His plan and
accomplished His will. He has already selected the
instruments of His rule and kept them in order. His will is
to use the base things of this world to put to nought the
things which are mighty. If we were to regard ourselves
as fools, by now God would have used us effectively for
it is His will to use foolishness to nullify wisdom. But
when one begins to show one's pomposity and arrogance,
professing that one is wise, that one is powerful,or that one
is indispensable, then God will use a very lowly placed
194
person to bring one to nought.
BRETHREN THERE IS NO PERSON WHO
KNOWS THE WILL OF GOD. HEAVEN AND EARTH
WILL PASS AWAY BUT THE WILL OF GOD WILL
NEVER PASS AWAY.
You have heard the story of how Pharoah persecuted
the Israelites. You have also heard of how Herod
persecuted Our Lord Jesus Christ. Inspite of that, Our Lord
Jesus Christ was still existing and the work of God is still
progressing. When you observe carefully, you will begin
to ask why the learned men, the fortunate and highly
placed and the millionaires are unable to practise the word
of God. The word of God will be better with millionaires
and highly placed persons, kings, emperors and the
traditional rulers, but God does not make it that way. He
has gone to elect the poor, the needy and those who do not
exist at all, to disgrace the high calibre of men in the
world.
Go and ponder over this Gospel you who would want
to become president or feel that a president is the be-all
and all. You who feel that being a governor or prime
minister is the end- all, read this. God uses the base things
to bring to nought things that are highly esteemed among
men. A great many of us induge in politics, hoping that
once we are there we will do many things for our families.
God knows our individual thoughts . He knows all our
thoughts are for nought. He knows why the world has
rejected Him. The people of the world seek after self-
glorification.
This is why He has said that he will use the base
things of the world to bring to nought things that are
highly regarded. That is why He says that all those who
seek to save their lives will lose them. But those who lose
their lives for His sake and for the sake of the gospel, will
be saved.
Except Jehovah God builds a house, he labours in
195
vain that builds it. Except Johovah God watches over the
city, the watchman labours in vain. Why then do you
disturb about the things of this world? Why do you boast
as if you created all that you have? If you had received
these things, without knowing the source, from where they
came, why then do you boast about them? Do you
know how you came into this world? Do you know where
you are now? Do you know where you are going to? Do
you know what is on the other side of the world? Do you
know what is on the other side of the world from whence
you came? Why should you boast? Do you not see how
man is so vulnerable? Do you see that the will of man is at
variance with the will of God? Man thinks differently
from what God thinks. This is why the Scriptures say," Ye
are they which justify yourselves before men, but God
knoweth your hearts; for that which is highly esteemed
among men is abominable at the sight of God.
WHEN YOU CLOTHE YOURSELF GORGEOUS
APPARELS, AND YOU START CALLING YOURSELF
A KING OR SON OF THE SOIL, REMEMBER THAT
GOD LOOKS AT THE INNERMOST PARTS OF YOUR
HEARTS, THAT IS WHY HE HAS CHOSEN THE
BASE AND DISPISED TO DISGRACE YOU.
Did this not manifest itself between David and
Goliath? But you have not learnt from such lessons. Did it
not occur between David and Saul? At that time God had
to choose the base things to disgrace the highly esteemed.
Never say again that God is not in existance. Do not ever
say that God cannot do this or that. You may ask why God
allowed Our Lord Jesus Christ to be arrested and killed.
Let me explain that He wanted to fool the wisdom of the
world.
If He did not allow them to arreste and kill our Lord
Jesus Christ, how then would His glory have been
manifested in the world? He used Him to reveal His glory.
Since He was killed and later resurrected, there had been
196
a great deal of commotion in the world. When all hopes
are gone the saviour appears. This is why when the people
went to Our Lord Jesus Christ and told him that Lazarus,
his friend is sick an is almost dead, he replied and said
unto them that the sickness was not sickness unto
death,but for the glorification of God's name.
In like manner all the things we witness do not
manifest in the way we should think of. Apart from this
way it will be impossible for us to enter into this kingdom.
All the happenings in the world are various ways through
which God reveals His glory on earth. Do not sit down to
make plans and arrangements, proposing to do this or that,
because at the end, the will of God will have to prevail. Do
not bother yourself about anything. Do not count yourself
as having anything, because we are all the instruments for
His work. He can cause Himself to exist and can cause
Himself not to exist. What you have to go home with, is
that, whatever position you find yourself, do not
grumble,do not be pompous, do not be arrogant.
Do not ever think that a man has been so elevated in
life and wonder what will ever bring him down. Before He
elevated him, He had already provided a lowly person
whom He will use in disgracing the elevated one. You
should continue to humble yourself even when God raises
you up, for this is why He says, that except we become
like a small child, we cannot enter into the kingdom of
God. The central problem of the entire world is that, once
God has elevated somebody, no other person should be
allowed to pass along the street. Brethren, I do not want to
be tedious unto you, the Golden Text will now be read.
Golden Text: 1 Corinthians 4:7:
"For who maketh thee to differ from
another? and what hast thou that thou didst not
receive, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not
197
receive it?"
Brethren, you see up till now, man has not got this
knowledge. This is why if God gives you money, you
would not allow others to pass along the streets. Today if
God gives you the chieftancy of the world, you will not
allow people their freedom any longer. If God gives you
good health, you will fight anybody along the streets.
Today God has given you children, and you would not
allow the barren to breathe. You have forgotten so easily
that hitherto, you had no child, no money and you were
not known, but God gave you these things as He had
promised to elevate the base
things. He had lifted you up so why are you proud?
In the past, you rarely had a mat to sleep on. You
were sleeping on the bare floor. You had no shoes, and
took tea once a week, but life was still going on. After a
while, and according to the will of God, you and your
children are driving in cars, you are looking for storey
buildings. Why are you without wisdom? Right now, there
is nobody who has money and would still want to serve
God. He would be parading himself as money magnate, a
responsible and respected person, he would question why
he should disgrace himself in such a manner, by putting
off his shoes and sitting with children. Brethren, see what
was read to you: what has thou that thou didst not receive
it, and why doest thou glory as if thou hadst not received
it?
Have you not heard the word of God which says that
God has chosen the base things of the world and things
which are despised, to bring to nought those things that are
thought to be great. Pharoah was so proud where is he
today? Nebuchardnezzar was so proud and arrogant,
where is he today? Herod was so proud and pompous,
where is he today. The Roman empire was go great and
powerful where is she today? The British empire, Greece
198
and many others were so proud and arrogant, where are
they today? Look t even here in Nigeria, when somebody
is at the top, he does not care about those below him. If
another person is elevated to that positition, he will start
behaving like his predecessor. God says He will resist the
proud and give grace to the humble. God wants to use
things which are not, things which are dispised to disgrace
the highly esteemed things of the world. This is why you
are taught humility, that you should count everything as a
loss.
If God raises you to a high position, always
remember that you were on the ground, always imagine
yourself on the ground. Remember that you were poor,
remember that you were blind, remember that you were
nothing, but God out of His merciful kindness, lifted you
up to a high position, so that you begin to cater for the
welfare of those under you. When He will elevate another
person to the same position, he would also look after your
welfare. This arrangement works in turns. When it is your
time, you cater for the welfare of others, a time comes
when others will cater for your welfare, and at another
time another person will cater for you all.
It is quite clear that no condition is permanant, for
you were born into this world empty; without wisdom or
money. After some time you become wise and you
acquire some money. At other times, hatred set in,
sickness sets in, you become poor and weak. God creates
every person and causes them to go round the circle of
life. There is no difference between the Greeks and the
Jews. Do not even create such division or discrimination,
do not sow such seeds of discord, throw away such
differences. Gather every person together because every
person is one, Our Lord Jesus Christ is all and in all.
After God has elevated somebody, he will turn
round to say it is because of his wisdom or educational
attainments or through his own design, or making, or
199
ability, or plan, that he has attained the position. When
things will turn the other way round, what reason will he
give? I am telling you individually that it is neither the
result of your power of planning, nor your effort that you
have been so elevated. It is God who has elevated you up
to such a place according to His will to fulfill His promise
of using things that are dispised, to disgrace things that are
highly esteemed. God gave you all the children, he has
given you life, wisdom, and glory, therefore, there is
nothing that is yours. We have to humble ourselves and
become lowly before the Almighty God, giving Him His
Glory.
I do disagree with anybody who creates class
distinctions. There is nobody greater than the other. Be
you a learned professor, a governor, a president, a
millionire, or whatever you may be, don't discriminate for
there is no stratification; no one person is better or greater
than the other.
There is no difference between the black and the
white; there is no difference between a man and a woman.
All of us are equal. If you have been having the mind that
the white man is more intelligent, discard such idea. God
creates every person in the same way.
When you say somebody comes from a royal
family, what then do you understand by the
expression,"Royal Family?" When you say somebody is
from a poor family, what do you mean by the
expression,"Poor Family?" Do you want to tell me
members of the royal family never get sick? Or members
of a Royal family are never disgraced? Do members of a
royal family live on earth forever? Do members of a
royal family not get exasperated, or begrudge somebody,
or tell lies? Or are they never beset with problems and
difficulties?
Are members of a royal family not born of
women? Does this not show that no one person is different
200
from the other. If your pomposity is based on the fact that ears to hear, let them hear. May God bless His Holy
you are wealthy or that you are wealthy or that you own a Words.
costly car, or that you are a white man, you should know Thank You Father.
that TO HUMBLE ONESELF TO THE GROUND IS TO
LIFT ONESELF UP. Do you know how you came into the
world? Do you know how you have been able to live up
till today? Do you know how you became a governor? Do
you know how you became a prime minister? Do
you know how to talk and convince so many people?
There is nothing that we have done, and there is nothing
that we know. The best thing is for us to keep quiet and
observe how God is doing His things in the world. The
greatest mistake that a man makes is to regard himself
greater and better than others. You may be greater than
the other because God has lifted you up to day. What
about the promise made to the lowly placed by God that at
the fullness of time, He will use the base things to disgrace
the highly esteemed. When He is lifted up what will you
do?
This is the promise of God and in all things
always, it is the will of God that prevails. Tell the rich and
highly placed, the wise and the pompous, those who feel
that they alone exist, that God says He chooses the base
things, things that are dispised, to reveal His glory. He
does not use a highly placed thing to disgrace the highly
placed, but the base things to disgrace the highly PREPARED FOR PROPAGATION BY

The word of God says the barren will be a mother

_____________________________________________
Many people used to think that Africa is the
most backward place in the world, but I do not think
so, and I do not think it was the whites who brought
the Word of God to the blacks. Rather it is the blacks
who took the Word of God to them. The reason is
that civilization started in Egypt, and Egypt is in
Africa. The first University in the world was in
Egypt. You have heard that Joseph was sold into
slavery in Egypt, and that Jacob and all his children
went to live in Egypt for 430 years. You also heard
that when Jesus was born, and Herod wanted to kill
him, His parents fled with Him to Egypt.
The distance between Egypt and Israel is not
much, and the separation is only political. Egypt was
the seat of everything. It has been mentioned in the
Bible that the word of God started there. That is to
say, the word of God originated from Africa. After
hearing this gospel I would not want you to continue
214
reasoning that it was the whites who brought the
word of God to you. For before the white men came
with their deceit, the blacks had already known God.
Whoever killed was killed. You do not steal; if you
did, you were sold. Africans already knew the ethics
of life before the arrival of the white men.
Therefore, the whites created all the confusion in
the world today. When they came they said that a
thief should be left alone and that the people were
free to fornicate about. The Africans saw them as
coming to destroy the laws regulating life in the
society. No person teaches another the Word of God.
After hearing the First Bible Lesson, you will see that
God does not make any mistake for coming to Africa,
and for calling us first.
If you have been questioning why God should be
in Africa, a dark continent, covered with evil, your
eyes are going to be enlightened today, because God
has never made any mistakes, and He knows those
who belong to Him. That is why Our Lord Jesus
Christ had this parable,"When the servants went
and asked the Master, did you not sow corn, why is it
that there are tares in their midst? The Master
replied that an enemy had done this. They asked
him, "Do you wish that we should go and uproot the
tares from the corn?" He told them," Allow them to
grow together lest you uproot the corn as well. At
harvest time, the reapers will come and gather
everything and throw the tares into the fire and
preserve the corn in the store house."
Have you not seen that God has not left Africa?
His first work of enlightenment was in Africa. He
started here in Africa, so, He has to come to where
He first started His work.
Your problem is that you always think that what
you see now is new. When you read the book of
215
Ecclesiastes, you will realize that there is no new
thing under the sun. Everything comes and goes
according to the evolution of time. At a time people
will wear the long flowing gowns, and at another
time, short dresses will be in vogue. When another
generation comes with any of these styles of dressing,
people will say that it has come up with a new style of
dressing. But it has already been in existence.
You often hear of magicians who double money
for people. They send the spirit of theft to go and
steal these monies from behind and so they are
thieves. After giving them what they want, they
charge you; and they will tell you not to use the
money for some time. Before it gets to them, the
spirits will return the money to where they took it
from. It is the same thing with having a vision or
dreaming of people wearing a certain hair style, I
want to tell you that it is an old style.
It is said that it is not of him who wills, nor of
him who runs the race, but it is of God who shows
mercy. He is the God of truth. What you see
appears to you like a child’s play. But it is the long
expected Kingdom of God, which was shown to
Nebuchardnezzar in a dream, and was consequently
interpreted for him by Daniel.
It was said that one kingdom shall come and
pass and successive kingdoms shall come and go, but
one kingdom alone shall stand forever and will rule
heaven and earth. This is that kingdom. This is not
the kingdom of the world or of angels. This is the
kingdom of God and the Holy Spirit is reigning here.
The Americans have vowed that if Jesus comes
again, He will be born to them. The Israelites say
that Christ will come to them. The British argue that
He will be born to them. But the Africans have no
such thought because they feel they are sinners who
216
are not worthy to have Our Lord Jesus Christ born
to them. But since God started everything, He knows
where He started and those who are His children.
So, you should not continue in your
foolishness by asking why God should come to
Africa, the dark continent, full of evil. When you
continue to make such utterances then you are not
sane. And if I may ask, have you not read your
history? The Israelites were in bondage in Egypt for
many years. It was not long before that little place in
Jerusalem(Israel), was given to them to dwell. God
told Abraham to leave his hometown to a place He
would show him and that He would later give him a
place where he would dwell with his people. You are
aware that from that time, no one knew where God
had chosen for Himself. Since He is God, and His
wisdom surpasses that of man, He has started His
work.
If God is the God of Israel, why do the Israelites
not know Him? Christ Himself testified that the
children of God hear the Word of God; you do not
hear the word of God because you are not His
children. Brethren, have you heard that? Only the
children of God hear His word. Those who are not
His children cannot hear His Word.
Can you see how narrow the way is. Those He
had first predestinated for this kingdom are those He
first called. Those He called are the ones He justified
and glorified. Now what questions do you have to
ask? Or would you say that God made a mistake? If
it is true that the whites started the Word of God,
why did God not go to them, and why has He not
called them? God will call every person. But He has
to start with those He first predestinated.
217
For it is said that when the Priesthood is
changed, the law is also changed. But the Priesthood
of Christ is forever. We should therefore follow His
footsteps and practice His teachings. It is in doing
this that we shall know that God has never made any
mistakes.
God was formally referred to as God of
Isaac, Jacob, Abraham and generally as the God of
Israel. But the Israelites do not practise the word of
God. Therefore, if somebody comes out of another
race or country like Nigeria or Africa to worship
God, why should he not be revered by all? People
believe that God should always manifest in Israel.
This is the problem with the Roman Catholic Church
up till now. They do not reckon any black man
worthy of the position of pope in the organization.
They specifically reserve that position for someone of
Roman origin. A Nigerian by name Ekanem rose to
the position of a cardinal. He is the first black man to
assume that position. However, the whites know that
if he continues to serve in that position, in the event
of the death of the present pope, the next person due
to ascend that thorne will be Ekanem, hence he is
retired .
Can man retire from the services of God?
Where does he retire to? Is it to worship idol? Today,
the widely acclaimed cardinal is now in his village,
not as cardinal but as a retired clergy. Is this not
funny? The funniest part of it all is that he is a black
man. The whites do not see anything good in a black
man. No matter how effective and devoted a black
man may be, the whites cannot regard him fit to rub
shoulders with them, not to talk of ruling over them.
If you come across someone who teaches and
practises love and other righteous acts and yet you
218
refuse to accept and honor him, then you have
yourself to blame. You are scattering abroad intead
of gathering. Paul even said that one should not keep
company with a person who is an evil doer. Read 1
Corinthians 5:11 for details. The one on the throne in
this end of time is the one to overcome the world. His
teachings are not limited to any particular group,
country or continent.
It is high time you changed and imbibed the
new culture of the Holy Spirit, the reigning power on
earth. God is love, truth, oneness, humility, peace,
and righteousness. If all of us in the whole world
were to come together and practise the word of God,
by now peace would have been restored to the earth.
You claim to love God, but you kill both man and
animal. You hate your fellow man and you also plan
evil against people. Were all the things and people
not created by God? Would you say that God is more
than one? In your narrow mindedness you believe
that the God of Christians is different from that of
the Moslems, Bahais or the Hindus. This has been
the cause of problems in the world right from Adam
till now. Man generally scatters abroad, causes
confusion and trouble to himself and other creatures.
God has no hand in the suffering of man, but man is
the architect of his woes. In His infinite mercy, the
Almighty Father causes the sun to shine on both the
evil and the just and allows rain to fall on the roofs of
all without discrimination. The truth is that
whatever a man sows is what he reaps. The eyes of
the Lord are upon the righteous. He has nothing to
do with sinners.
God is love, goodness and kindness. That is
why He has come to the black race having seen that
the blacks filled with evil and wicked attitudes. It is
219
for this reason that He made a new covenant with us
as opposed to the former one He made with our
forefathers. At the fullness of time,"I will call them
my people which were not my people, and my
beloved which were not my beloved. I want you to
realize that this work is not done by flesh and blood
but by the Holy Spirit.
THE EPITOME OF FLESH MORTIFICATION:
I continue to talk of our EHIOPIAN BROTHER,
THE "I-MAN."
On foot, he travelled all the way from
Ethiopia to Nigeria, onto Calabar, using no artificial
transport system. While here in Calabar, he rejected
every hospitality, so-called. he was allocated a room
in the Guest House, given two plates of food to be
sure he ate sufficiently, the sum of N5,500.00 and
new clothing. He rejected these favors. He told his
hosts that he liked meeting and talking with people in
the public and so he needed no accommodation. He
went on to say that he did not need two plates of rice,
neither did he need the money and clothing because
there were many on the streets who were in dire need
of those things more than him, and so these thing
should be given to them. He was captured, bound
and cast into the sea, but he was unharmed. His
captors, on reaching home were surprised to see that
he had even returned home before them, and he was
hale and hearty.
Every injunction God gives man is for his
good. Disobedience brings untold hardship to man.
I am imparting these words to you in grief
and with tears because of your disobedience, and also
because of your gluttony and greed for materialism.
Many burst into laughter when I preach about
fasting, abstinence from eating meat and fish, and
220
drinking. They tell you in defense that it is God who
created meat and fish for human consumption, and
gave man the idea to brew wine. Many also consider
it an impossibility to fast for even an hour. Note that
any one who perishes, his blood will be upon his
head. This is the final advice and warning for the
entire world. To be fore-warned is to be fore-armed.
It has been prophesied that there will be
three days of darkness on earth. The trumpet shall
sound, and the Holy Spirit descends. Every man shall
be affected; likewise, every being in heaven and on
earth. If you are caught up while eating, drinking,
fornicating or engaging in any evil act, would you be
spared, or would you wake up? The darkness shall
be caused by God Himself. Heaven and earth, you
have been told shall pass away, but not one jot of the
word of God shall pass away without being fulfilled.
This explains why the words I preach to you center
on abstinence from gluttony, drinking, fornication,
deceit, and every manner of sin.
He says, "Be ye holy as I am holy; for no evil
abides with me." The time is spent; in fact, it is much
closer than the tongue is to the teeth. It could happen
any moment from now. I have led you to the
knowledge of truth. Any, therefore, who perishes, his
blood will be upon his head.

will be used in this world and in the
world to come. Let all call on the name of the
Lord and He shall save them.
