OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
Now the Spirit of truth is come, imparting
correct teachings unto man. He has taken over the
entire world, and, as many as have received this, not
by forsaking your different churches, but by putting
into practice His teachings, you will, from now live in
spirit and continue to do that which is right.
He has also given the ability to all and sundry to
practice the teachings. In practicing, you must first be
baptized, and partake fully in the 72 hours dry-
fasting. These are the prerequisites, and then other signs
will follow.
The WATCH AND PRAY we observe every
Wednesday night, is likened to the Last Supper. All
inhabitants of the world should observe it, because it
is the correct and most divine teaching, and the
entire world must receive and practice this divine
teaching; and having received this, you will know
that you are on the brink of being saved.
Building of Bethels, Cathedrals and the rest are
a waste of time. The Holy Spirit has nothing to do with
them. You are His temple. The sooner you despised the
idea of sticking to any church, sect. or whatever, the
better it is for you; for your body alone is His place of
abode. That is why at the time He called the attention of
His Disciples, having seen all these gigantic buildings

THE GREAT TEACHER
FIRST BIBLE LESSON: MATTHEW 23:8
"But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your
Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren."
SECOND BIBLE LESSON: 1 PETER 2:17
"Honor all men. Love the brotherhood.
Fear God. Honor the king."
GOLDEN TEXT: 2 CORINTHIANS 3:17
"Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the
Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty."
YOU HAVE ERRED:
It is the Holy Spirit who is the only Teacher,
and if all the teachers should know this fact they could
have come here to learn from the GREAT TEACHER.
Teachers are the representatives of Christ's Students and
Christ's Servants. Our Lord Jesus Christ is the only
teacher and we are all His students. Do not add or
subtract anything from His teachings. The duty of
mankind, fishes, and all other animals is to practise the
teachings of God. No one should venture to teach
because such a person will not be able to teach
accurately. You should know that it is not proper for any
8 9
person to be called a Teacher, for that is the source of
our problems. Our Lord Jesus Christ who is the only
teacher is the one who teaches us how to preach, sing,
dance, and do other things. If the whole world had
practised the teachings of Our Lord Jesus Christ, there
could have been no problem in the world. Everybody is
a child of the Father.
Brotherhood is not founded by man nor is it run
by man. It originated from the Father before man. So,
when you lament that your parents, spouse, children, or
relatives are not Brotherhood, then you really do not
understand the concept of Brotherhood. No one joins
Brotherhood. Rather, one is born Brotherhood.
People tend to distinguish between a
Brotherhood and a non- Brotherhood members because
they do not appreciate the teachings of God. If we
practise the teachings of the Great Teacher, we will not
have problems; Our faith will also be strengthened. You
need not draw any lessons from men. What do they have
to offer?
Whenever you see a woman, know that she is
your sister; and whenever you see a man, know that he
is your brother, no more, no less. He teaches us that
everybody is a child of the Father. You are all brethren.
He is our teacher and you are His students. We all know
that if students are like their teacher, they will attain
perfection, and whatever standard the teacher has set,
the students will emulate. We also know that whatever
stuff the teacher dishes out to the students, if they are
attentive and if they have good retentive memory, they
will pass on this stuff to this others. Consequently, the
idea will spread. Do not call anybody Father, do not call
anybody Teacher and do not call anybody Lord, because
you are all brethren. We call people TEACHER,
FATHER, and LORD. Do not call anybody TEACHER,
and do not call anybody LORD because we are all
brethren. Do you then see where our problem lies? You
have slighted your God, so you have sinned. His
injunctions in respect of this matter is clear, "Call no
one Father, Teacher and Lord." You have erred, you
have contravened this injunction. We are all brethren.
What is this fuss about all these titles.
Adam and Eve were Brotherhood. Those who
are existing now are Brotherhood. Those yet unborn are
Brotherhood. Those in the world beyond are still
Brotherhood. This is why John was told by the angel
that he was not to prostrate before him. (Rev. 19:10). A
robber, a murderer, an extortioner, an adulterer, idolater,
dupes, and confusionist are all your brethren. NO SIN
CAN DEBAR A MAN FROM BEING A
BROTHERHOOD. That is why it is said that not all the
children of Abraham were all his bona fide children.
ONLY THE PROMISED CHILDREN ARE THE
LEGITIMATE ONES.
In the same vein, not all the Brotherhood
members are true Brotherhood. Those who practise
these injunctions are His real children. That is why
Our Lord Jesus Christ passed through Paul to say that
anybody who calls himself brethren but continues to
drink, fornicate, covert, and tell lies, should be shunned.
(1 Cor 5:11). It is wrong of you to limit the membership
of Brotherhood to the baptized brethren only.
Do not say also that since someone is still
wallowing in sin, he is not a Brotherhood member. If he
is not a Brotherhood, what is he? Up to date, you
continue to make that mistake, that is, you claim to be
10
alone in Brotherhood, to the exclusion of other
immediate family members. This is wrong. All the
inhabitants of your village are members of the
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. Do not limit
membership to yourself alone.
The whole world is Brotherhood and we all are
brethren. Brotherhood in the vernacular means Children
of God. God is our Father. All the angels, all the
creatures are brethren. If you should follow this
injunction diligently, you would know that stealing,
drunkenness, cheating, selfishness are bad. There could
have been no problem in the world but for these vices.
To say that the whole world is one, is not a new thing; it
is truism. Our teaching is that everybody is one in
God. If you say that such a person is a Brotherhood
member, he will retort that he is not, and that
Brotherhood is a new church. Go and tell the world that
we are one in Christ. It is said that "..Today if you hear
his voice, harden not your hearts." (Heb 4:7). "I am the
vine, ye are the branches. He that abideth in me, and I in
him, the same bringeth forth much fruit; for without me
ye can do nothing." (John 15:5). His injunction is that
we are all Brotherhood, and we are all His children.
PRACTISE GOD'S INJUNCTIONS AND BE SAVED:
All those who receive this teaching have the
Father in them. In the Father they are saved. What
brings sadness to you is the notion that you are the only
child of your mother, the only child of your father. This
brings sadness and forlorn hope to you. If you have a
notion that you have no person in your family, and you
are an orphan, such thoughts bring sadness and gloom to
you. God is your Father. Which time has God ever died?
11
So brethren, let us use this period to listen to the words
of God and practise them. IT IS NOT THOSE WHO
HEAR THE WORDS OF GOD THAT ARE SAVED,
BUT THOSE WHO PRACTISE THE WORDS OF
GOD. WHAT WE CALL PRACTICAL
CHRISTIANITY IS THE ACT OF PRACTISING THE
GOSPEL, BUT NOT ONLY LISTENING TO AND
READING THE GOSPEL WITHOUT PRACTISING.
ONE SPIRITUAL CHORUS SAYS, "WE SHOULD BE
PRACTITIONERS OF THE GOSPEL, AND NOT
THOSE WHO ONLY LISTEN." DO NOT BOAST
ABOUT YOUR MERITORIOUS YEARS IN
BROTHERHOOD, RATHER REFLECT SOBERLY
ON WHETHER YOU HAVE KEPT HIS
INJUNCTIONS.
A convert who has just realized his status as a
Brother and consequently submits to baptism is better
off, if he keeps all the injunctions of God. His new state
will not be compared to his previous state of being when
he had refused to accept baptism. LET IT BE KNOWN
TO YOU THAT IF YOU PUT GOD'S INJUNCTIONS
INTO PRACTICE, YOUR PROBLEMS BOTH
SPIRITUALLY AND OTHERWISE ARE SOLVED.
All of you in Brotherhood are living witnesses
that in schools you only kneel down and knock your
head three times on the ground, the Father will write the
examination for you. In any school they attend,
Brotherhood members are first. WHATEVER
TEACHING YOU RECEIVE, BROTHERHOOD
TEACHING IS FIRST BECAUSE IT IS THE
SUPERNATURAL TEACHINGS EMANATING
FROM THE MOST HIGH GOD. HE SIMPLY
GROOMS YOU IN THE SCRIPTURES,
12
CONSEQUENTLY, YOU ACHIEVE KNOWLEDGE,
ELOQUENCE, CONFIDENCE AND SPIRITUAL
LIBERTY. This principle was applicable to Our Lord
Jesus Christ, as He said: "... all things that I have heard
of my Father I have made known unto you." (John
15:15).
YOU ARE TO LISTEN TO HIM ALONE:
The fall of Adam stems from an alternative
teaching. He had another teacher (Lucifer). He, Adam,
obeyed the instructions of Lucifer, and Adam paid
dearly for the consequence. Similarly, your problems
come from the fact that you fail to abide by the Father's
instructions, but you seek alternative instructions. IF
YOU RESEARCH INTO THE SCRIPTURES YOU
WILL FIND OUT THAT GOD HAS NO DEPUTY.
The only deputies are His interpreters. These
interpreters are his mouthpiece. He lives in them, He
directs them, dictates for them, sends them on errands
and accomplishes same for them. YOU DO NOT EXIST
IN ISOLATION, HE LIVES IN YOU. He provides the
texts, preaches the gospel, sings the songs and He
directs the spiritual work.
IF YOU DO THE WILL OF GOD YOU WILL
RECEIVE WHATEVER YOU WANT FROM GOD.
BUT IF YOU COMMIT SIN, YOUR CONSCIENCE
WILL BLAME YOU AND YOU WILL NOT BE
ABLE TO CHANNEL YOUR REQUEST TO HIM. IF
YOU DO NOT ASK, HOW WILL YOU RECEIVE?
THE HOLY SPIRIT ABIDES IN YOU. HE GOES
WITH YOU WHEREVER YOU GO. IF YOU MOVE
BY HIS DICTATES, YOU WILL HAVE LITTLE OR
NO PROBLEMS. AS A GREAT TEACHER, HIS
13
ADVICE MUST SUPERSEDE THOSE OF OTHERS.
ALTHOUGH WE MAY SAY THAT IT IS OUR
CONSCIENCE THAT DIRECTS US TO DO
SOMETHING, IT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT
DIRECTS US TO LISTEN TO HIM. YOU WILL
HAVE NO PROBLEM WHEN YOU DO THIS.
IF GOD DOES NOT TEACH YOU HOW
WILL YOU KNOW? Man is a novice. He does not
know anything. Man has eyes but does not see, and he
has ears but he does not hear. Man does not reason with
his head, and so does not think that the Holy Spirit is all
in all.
BROTHERHOOD IS PERFECTION AND REQUIRES
PERFECTION:
The Bible is called the Holy Book of God. All
the injunctions of God and God's advice are found in the
Bible. But for the Bible, many people could have misled
and misinformed the whole world. Christ has said that
anything not planted by the Father would be uprooted.
(Matt 15:13). Everything you find in Brotherhood is
what is recorded in the Bible. YOU HAVE PROBLEMS
BECAUSE YOU FAIL TO PUT THE INSTRUCTIONS
OF GOD INTO PRACTICE. "And ye have forgotten the
exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children,
My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor
faint when thou art rebuked of him." (Heb 12:5).
My little children, when God chastises you, do
not grumble over it. God scolds the child he loves. If
you should practise the words of God, there will be no
sickness; there could have been no death and you would
not have been in need. You are suffering because you
deviate from the teachings and injunctions of God. You
14
go about doing those things you ought not to have done.
Brotherhood does not tell you at any time to go
and commit sin. Brotherhood is love, truth, humility,
patience and peace. Brotherhood is the epitome of all
good things. I am happy because you are all learning.
So, take down all the citations, sermons, then confirm
later, everything you hear from the horse's mouth. It is
written that when the Comforter comes he will teach
you the recondite knowledge and lead you into the
accurate wisdom of truth.
SECOND BIBLE LESSON: 1 PETER 2:17
"Honor all men. Love the brotherhood.
Fear God. Honor the king."
YOU SHOULD LOVE, RESPECT AND HONOR
EVERYBODY:
Brethren, have heard that? The world accused
you of worshipping man. What does God say in that
portion? What does God tell you and me in that portion
which has just been read? He has introduced man to us.
In the Second Bible Lesson, He advises us to honor all
men and also love the Brotherhood. Is a woman not a
human being? And is a stranger not a human being?
Since He says we should respect man, it therefore means
that you should respect everybody irrespective of his or
her status in life. This has confirmed our First Bible
Lesson which says that we are all brethren. Have you
practised this injunction?
That is why you have problems. It is said, you
should love your brethren, you should love everyone.
Do not discriminate, for we are all brethren in the Lord.
15
THERE IS NO OTHER TEACHING APART FROM
THIS. WE HAVE TO GIVE REVERENCE TO GOD
FOR IF YOU HAVE THE FEAR OF GOD IN YOU,
YOU WILL REVERE HIM. IF YOU HAVE THE
FEAR OF GOD YOU WILL NOT STEAL,
WHATEVER GOD SAYS YOU SHOULD DO, DO
THAT, SO THAT YOU MAY HAVE PEACE, HAVE
LIFE, AND HAVE GOOD HEALTH. IT WAS THE
FEAR OF GOD WHICH JOSEPH HAD IN HIM THAT
MADE HIM RESIST HAVING AN AFFAIR WITH
POTIPHAR'S WIFE.
IF YOU HAVE THE FEAR OF GOD YOU
WILL LISTEN TO HIS INSTRUCTIONS AND
PRACTISE THEM. YOU ARE THEREFORE
ENJOINED TO GIVE REVERENCE TO GOD AND
HONOR ALL MEN. WHY HE HAS MADE THAT
STATEMENT THAT MEN SHOULD BE HONORED
IS THAT EVERYONE IS BROTHERHOOD. LOVE
EVERYBODY BECAUSE EVERYBODY IS A CHILD
OF GOD. REVERE GOD BECAUSE GOD IS A
SPIRIT AND IS THE ONE DOING ALL THESE
THINGS. Honor the king because he is also a human
being. The king on his part should honor everybody, be
it a child or an aged person. There is no contradiction at
all, so brethren, I respect nothing but God. I love
nothing but God. If you cannot respect your sister and
your brother whom do you respect then? When Our
Lord Jesus Christ came down He washed the disciples'
feet. He moved from house to house, and that is the sign
of respect for man. From where in the Bible can you
quote to confirm that you are to hate, you are to
fornicate, you are to kill and to wallow in sin? God
enjoins us to love everybody, be he a thief or a
16
murderer. If I respect you, you should respect me
likewise. This sermon is set aside to remind all of you,
who might have forgotten about this aspect of the
gospel, and to refresh your memory with these
injunctions so that you might disseminate them to the
world. If a person tells you that you worship a human
being, it is this portion of the Bible that you can cite for
such a person to buttress your point. God says you
should honor all men, love the brethren, revere God and
respect the king. Therefore brethren, there is not much
to say nowadays, for it is said, "If you hear His voice, do
not harden your hearts." (Heb 4:7).
IF YOU FEAR GOD, YOU WILL COMMIT NO SIN:
When initially you came into this fold, you
prayed God to give you a wife, give you a husband and
do all sorts of things for you. But now, the reverse is the
case. You have to put the words of God into practice.
From today onward, if you start to practise these
injunctions, your problems are solved, your sicknesses
are healed,
If you drink five pots of Holy Oil a day, and you
do not love one another, it is of no use. Even if you fight
as much as you can to serve God, but you do not love
your brethren and honor all men, it is of no avail to you.
It is said that obedience is better than sacrifice. (1 Sam
15:22). Leave much preaching and long prayers, go and
love one another and honor your brethren.
THE FEAR OF GOD IS THE BEGINNING OF
WISDOM. (Psalm 111:12). IF YOU HAVE THE FEAR
OF GOD, YOU WILL NOT COMMIT ANY SIN, YOU
WILL ALWAYS DO WHAT IS RIGHT. If you wait for
mundane things, there is very little profit for you, but if
17
you want the spiritual things, there are boundless gains
for you. All those who believe that these words and
injunctions are from God, do not have anything to fear.
The Scripture says, that one should not be afraid what
will kill the body, but cannot kill the soul. (Matt 10:28).
When the kings of this world asked Peter and
John not to preach in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ,
Peter got up and asked them whether it was better to
heed man's instructions than God's.
(Acts 4:19). But for them, they would never fail to tell
the world what they heard and saw. So you should not
be misled or misinformed by any person. This gospel is
from the high heavens, and it is what is Brotherhood.
Have you seen what Brotherhood is? It is said, respect
your brethren, honor all men and love the Brotherhood.
That is what Brotherhood stands for. Let us hear the
Golden Text. Listen attentively to the text.
GOLDEN TEXT: 2 CORINTHIANS 3:17
"Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the
Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty."
THERE IS NO DISCRIMINATION IN
BROTHERHOOD:
Have you heard that? This is what is called
freedom and liberty. It is said do not call anybody
teacher because you are all brethren. Have you not seen
freedom here? Every one is called brother or sister in
brotherhood. The Second Lesson says, "Respect all men
and honor Brotherhood and revere God. Where there is
18
God, there is no discrimination, no cheating, everyone is
one in the Lord. There is no small child in God. There is
no poor man in God, and there is no man of letters in
God. Everyone is one in God, no more no less.
Whoever practises the words of God will not
discriminate, will not give preference to the well-to-do
at the expense of poor men.
If you love one person and hate another,
it means you do not practise the gospel. If someone
loves and you do not pay back that love, it means you
have not practised the words of God. From now on, it is
incumbent upon you to listen to the words of God and
practise them. You complain that your father and
mother have deserted you because of Brotherhood. The
question is, have you practised this particular
injunction? Does Brotherhood tell you to hate any
person or not to honor kings? Here in Brotherhood, we
do not have any other teacher apart from the Holy
Spirit. We in Brotherhood do not listen to men, we
do not do something to please the world. All we are
doing is according to the dictates of the Holy Spirit.
We are here to practise the words God and not
what men deem fit. If you are here and you decide to
listen to a pastor, or elder, or your husband or your wife,
it means you do not know what you are doing here. It is
said the Lord is the spirit and where the Spirit of the
Lord is there is liberty. As we are doing in Brotherhood,
things are shared among the members equally
irrespective of rank or status. It does not follow that
since you are a Bishop or a Pastor, a lion's share should
be given to you at the expense of other persons. It is not
like that in Brotherhood because everybody is a pastor,
everybody is a bishop here. You have to respect each
19
other and love one another. God does not prefer one
person to another, the world over.
GOD LOVES EVERY PERSON EQUALLY.
ONCE YOU PUT THIS INJUNCTION INTO
PRACTICE ALL YOUR PROBLEMS, SICKNESS,
POVERTY AND LACK ARE TAKEN AWAY FROM
YOU. IF YOU SOW SEED OF DISCORD AND
DISCRIMINATION DO NOT ATTRIBUTE IT TO
GOD, BECAUSE HE DOES NOT TEACH YOU LIKE
THAT.
If you see any house in which peace prevails,
you should know that such a house has put this
injunction into practice. Once you are recalcitrant about
his injunctions, know that the beginning of problems has
come. If you flout any of His injunctions, you are
courting death, sickness, and poverty. These injunctions
are not from me but they are from God. So, if you do not
practise them, you will incur the wrath of God. Any
place where people are treated equally, that place is
practising the gospel, and God is there.
But if you go to a place and see one class of
people being given preference at the expense of another, THE REAL RULER ON
it is advisable to leave such a place because the words of
God are not practised there, and they are not controlled EARTH
by the Holy Spirit.
So Brethren, it is said that one stroke of the cane
is sufficient to the wise. I do not intend to be tedious
unto you. Those who have ears, let them hear. May God FIRST BIBLE LESSON: 2 CORINTHIANS 3:17
bless His Holy Words. Amen. "Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the

Jesus Christ declared a new law for mankind: "A new
commandment I give unto you, That ye love one
another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one
another." (John 13:34).
All the things we need, such as power, joy, and
other gifts, come as a result of walking in the Spirit of
God, it is said: "If ye then be risen with Christ, seek
those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the
right hand of God." (Colossians 3:1).
THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE KINGDOM OF
GOD, HE IS ALSO THE KING AND LORD AND
GOD HIMSELF, HE IS ALSO THE SOURCE OF
ETERNAL LIFE. THE SPIRIT DOES NOT LEAD US
UNTO THE WAY OF CONFUSION AND
PERDITION, RATHER, IT LEADS US TO THE PATH
OF RECTITUDE. You may see two persons walking
and one is classified as a worldly person, a man of the
flesh, while the other is regarded as a child of God.
What makes one person carnal and the other spiritual?
Whoever does not listen to the voice of the
Spirit, nor walk according to the directives of the Spirit,
is a man of the flesh, and he is subject to perdition.
Anyone who walks according to the guidance of the
Spirit is a child of God. This is confirmed by our Golden
Text which states that those led by the Spirit of God are
the children of God.
THE CHILD OF GOD.
You may donate a million pounds to the church,
but if you are not led by the Spirit of God, you will not
be a child of God. Though you may fast for a whole year
and pray unceasingly, if you do not abide by the Spirit,
24
you are merely wasting your time and energy.
Embarking of extensive evangelical work throughout
the world does not make you a child of God if you do
not abide by the Spirit of God.
Our Lord Jesus Christ made it clear that anyone
who does not hate his father, mother, brethren, wife, or
relations cannot be His disciple. He also added that any
person who does not carry his cross and follow after
Him, is not worthy to be His disciple.
(Luke 14:26-27).
You cannot be His disciple unless you have
forsaken the flesh. If you are not led by the Holy Spirit
it means you are not a child of God, though you are still
living as a human being. It is said: "...For they are not
all Israel, which are of Israel. Neither, because they are
the seed of Abraham, are they all children:..." (Romans
9:6-7).
Why is it that those mentioned in the text were
not considered as Israelites or children of Abraham?
This is because not all of them were walking by the
Spirit. Only those who are directed by the Spirit are His
children like it is stated in the scripture, though the
Israelites were the real sons and daughters of the soil,
they were not considered as Israelites, because they
were not led by the Spirit of God. That was why Our
Lord Jesus Christ told Nicodemus: "Verily, verily, I say
unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the
kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, how can a
man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second
time into his mother's womb and be born? Jesus
answered, verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man
be born of water and of Spirit, he cannot enter into the
kingdom of God."(John 3:3-5). This statement really
25
disturbed Nicodemus, hence he asked whether as an old
man he still had to go back into his mother's womb to be
reborn.
So, you can see that any person who does not
accept to walk in the Spirit is not a child of God.
Everything in the world is Brotherhood of the Cross and
Star.
THE REAL BROTHERHOOD:
Why are there many worldly people? Those
who are led by the Holy Spirit are the real
Brotherhood. When the Spirit directs you to do one
thing or the other, and you bluntly refuse to listen to
Him, what do you think you are? As long as you
continue to disobey the directives of the Spirit it means
that you are not a child of God. Many people do believe
that once a person has much money, that makes him a
child of God. That is not true; for money cannot make
you a child of God.
There are others who think that brilliance in
academic knowledge is a passport to God's kingdom and
sonship. This is also not true because academic
knowledge has nothing to do with the kingdom of God.
Yet some others think that one automatically
becomes a child of God when one has attained a high
position in the world. No mundane position can make
you a child of God. You cannot enter the kingdom
through wealth but through faith. Faith is that which one
cannot see, yet one believes. In other words, faith is the
Spirit. If we are led by the Holy Spirit then we are the
children of God. God had from the beginning given the
power to Our Lord Jesus Christ. You should recall when
He said: "As thou has given him power over all flesh,
26
that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast
given him."(John 17:2)
Nothing can give you eternal life of patience
other than walking by the Spirit of God. Good health,
wealth, wisdom, and the good things we seek in this life
can only happen if we are ready to surrender ourselves
to the Holy Spirit. Our Lord Jesus Christ did not testify
about any other person but the Holy Spirit.
He emphatically declared that the Spirit gives us
life while the flesh is the source of death and every
problem in life. He further assured us of the efficacy of
the word He spoke: "It is the spirit that quickeneth; the
flesh profitteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you,
they are spirit, and they are life."(John 6:63).
Why should you continue to lament for lack of
money, husband, wife, clothes, wealth, and other
mundane things when you should be asking to be given
the Holy Spirit? Are these things what actually brought
you into this kingdom? Can food, money, wealth, and
other mundane things save you?
THERE IS NO DISCRIMINATION IN GOD:
The Lord is a Spirit and where the Spirit of the
Lord is there is liberty, love, peace, goodness, wealth
and all good things. In such a place, there is no division
for all are equal and one. Where there is segregation,
boastfulness, arrogance, quarrel, hatred, envy, telling of
lies, fighting, or any other immoral acts, then know that
the flesh has taken dominion in such a place. Christ is
not in such a place.
Do not deceive yourself that God can
compromise with sinful acts no matter how minute you
may think the sin is. God is the Father of mercy,
27
patience, love, grace, goodness, power, holiness and
righteousness. God does not segregate, frown, nor hate
any at all. He does not discriminate but instead He loves
all people and He wants all people to live in love with
one another. Though you may build a house with gold,
silver and with other beautiful ornamental designs, do
not think that God is dwelling there.
In places where people gather to play worldly
music and do carnal dances, God does not dwell there.
But whenever there is peace, oneness, the Holy Spirit
dwells there. People found there are equally led by the
Holy Spirit. The mundane government is devoid of
peace and progress. The prevailing conditions there are
killings, embezzlements, dishonesty and fraud. This is
because they are not led by the Holy Spirit. All the evils
perpetrated in governments all over the world happen
because they are not following the directives of the Holy
Spirit. Even though millions of pounds are injected into
the governments to use for the economic well-being of
the people, the money cannot be effectively utilized
because governments are all corrupt and frosted with
sins. The entire people of the world are in the flesh
hence, they cannot succeed. At the community level, the
same situation is applicable. Any community devoid of
the leadership of the Holy Spirit is doomed, no
matter the amount of money that is spent in
developing such a community.
Many of you pray for wives, husbands, and
children, would you be able to maintain them? So long
as you are not led by the Holy Spirit you would not have
peace, and harmony in your home even if these material
things are provided you by God. For as the goats thirst
and so search for living waters, so are the spirits of men
28
seeking after God; and they cannot rest unless they find
Him. Repeat the first lesson below.
FIRST BIBLE LESSON: 2 CORINTHIANS 3:17
"Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the
Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty."
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 Africans 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 as 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 became finding a
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 problems continue without solutions.
29
 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 crop up there, as soon
as you settle down. Whether you live alone, or in a
larger society, the problems of lack of freedom still
exists 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.
In this kingdom of God, there is joy, love,
peace, good health, wealth and righteousness. There is
no lack, sickness, poverty, death, or any negative thing.
Someone who has never been to Britain cannot describe
with certainty the environment there. He does not know
the type of food eaten, the weather, the life of the people
and other things peculiar to the people there. How can
you ask such a person to take you to Britain. That is why
Our Lord Jesus Christ said: "Let not your heart ever be
troubled, ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my
Father's house there are many mansions: if it were not
so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for
you. I will come again, and receive you unto myself,
that where I am, there ye may be also."(John 14:1-4)
Now He has come to take us to where He is.
And so any person who is not ready to follow Him
30
should not blame it on others. Refusal to follow Him is
the greatest problem and obstacle for the entire world.
The first lesson has said it all. That the Lord is Spirit,
and where the Spirit of God is there is liberty. There is
also joy, peace, life, harmony and goodness. However, if
you refuse to follow Him, even as He has come to call
you to Himself, who would you blame for your
suffering?
As long as you have refused to be led by the
Spirit of God, it means you have not accepted to follow
Christ and therefore you cannot have real joy, peace,
life, and goodness. Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is
Spiritual and is led by the Holy Spirit. DO NOT
THINK THAT THE POWER OF THE HOLY
SPIRIT IS CONFINED TO THE FOUR WALLS OF
34 AMBO STREET. AS A SPIRITUAL POWER IT
IS OMNIPRESENT IN EUROPE, AMERICA,
INDIA, AFRICA, IN THE SKY, IN THE WATERS,
ON LAND, IN SHORT, EVERYWHERE. IN
ORDER TO BEHOLD THE POWER OF THE
HOLY SPIRIT YOU MUST BE IN SPIRIT. The
world and its people are in the flesh. Therefore if we the
children of God were also in flesh, then the kingdom
would not have existed. It is because the world is devoid
of the Holy Spirit, that is why when two people meet for
a common purpose, you find that strife and conflict
overtake them. A member of the Apostolic Church once
reported a man who had defiled his daughter to the
police, the man was detained by the police force.
According to the member of the Apostolic Church, his
daughter was only seven years old while the man was an
adult. How can a young girl of that age be caused to lose
her virginity by a man that old? If this man were to have
31
the Holy Spirit, he would not have gone to the police.
WE IN BROTHERHOOD DO NOT INVITE THE
POLICE TO ARREST ANY PERSON. WE DO NOT
SUE PEOPLE TO COURT. INSTEAD, WE OFFER
PRAYER FOR ALL PEOPLE; EVEN THOSE
WHO WILFULLY OFFEND US. INSTEAD OF
TAKING LEGAL ACTION AGAINST THEM, WE
SAY GOOD PRAYERS AND PLEAD FOR
FORGIVENESS ON THEIR BEHALF.
A member of the Celestial Church divorced his
wife on the grounds that she took his church to their
village where their child died. Can a member of
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star be so stupid as to
divorce his wife on such grounds? It is said that you can
only divorce your wife on grounds of infidelity: "But I
say unto you that whosoever shall put away his wife,
saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to
commit adultery; and whosoever shall marry her that is
divorced, commits adultery."(Matthew 5:32). DO NOT
DIVORCE YOUR WIFE. If a woman is divorced on the
grounds that her child is dead, does it mean that she too
should die? You can see that any one who is not led by
the Spirit of God has no peace, mercy, and love.
THE FIRST THING YOU SHOULD DO
AFTER RECEIVING THE HOLY SPIRIT IS TO
GO AND MAKE PEACE WITH ALL YOUR
ENEMIES.
THE SECOND STEP IS THAT YOU MUST
CONFESS ALL THE SINS YOU HAVE
COMMITTED IN ALL YOUR LIFE AND
REPENT.
THE THIRD STEP IS TO DO AWAY WITH
ALL CHARMS, AMULETS, AND DIABOLICAL
32
SUBSTANCES AS WELL AS DRUGS, WHETHER
THEY ARE IN
THE FORM OF TABLETS OR INJECTIONS.
THE FOURTH STEP IS TO FAST AND
PRAY FOR FORGIVENESS OF ALL YOUR SINS
BECAUSE AT THIS TIME ALL YOUR SINS ARE
PLAIN BEFORE YOU.
AFTER ALL THESE, YOU HAVE TO
CELEBRATE A FEAST.
THE SIXTH STEP IS TO GIVE ALMS TO
THE POOR, AND TO BE GENERALLY
GENEROUS TO ALL PEOPLE, AND TO LOVE
ALL PEOPLE.
In doing these things the Spirit will lead you;
and if you allow Him to lead you, you are completely
free from problems. If you are careful to implement
these steps, the Holy Spirit will cast away fear, hatred,
poverty, sickness, and all other negative conditions in
your life. That is why you are advised to first of all ASK
FOR THE GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT BEFORE
ANYTHING ELSE; FOR IF YOU PRAY FOR THE
HOLY SPIRIT IT SHALL BE BESTOWED ON
YOU. YOU ARE ASKED TO CONFESS YOUR
SINS, REFRAIN FROM SINS, SO THAT THE
HOLY SPIRIT CAN ABIDE IN YOU. YOU ARE
ALSO ADVISED TO LIVE A LIFE THAT BEFITS
REPENTANCE BY ABSTAINING FROM
DRINKING, FORNICATION, ADULTERY, AND
OTHER VICES SO THAT YOUR ENTIRE BODY
AND SOUL MAY BE TAKEN OVER BY THE
HOLY SPIRIT.
THE REASON WHY WE FAST AND PRAY
IS TO INVITE THE HOLY SPIRIT INTO OUR
33
SOULS. If you fail to possess the Holy Spirit, you are
useless and empty. Failure to walk according to the
directives of the Holy Spirit means that failure leads to
damnation and the failed person is damned. THE
SPIRIT OF GOD IS LOVE, MERCY, JOY, PEACE,
TRUTH, MEEKNESS, TOLERANCE, HUMILITY,
AND PATIENCE. Whatever the Spirit of God directs
you to do, do it without hesitation.
BUT WHATEVER YOU ARE DIRECTED
NOT TO DO, DO NOT COMMIT YOURSELF TO
SUCH A TASK, NO MATER HOW ROSY AND
ATTRACTIVE SUCH A VENTURE MAY
APPEAR.
Once you are directed by the Holy Spirit to give
up a business or a thing, drop it immediately for He
knows what is good for you. There is nothing which
should be considered too great to forgo as far as the
Holy Spirit directs. WHOEVER IS LED BY THE
HOLY SPIRIT DOES NOT WORSHIP IDOLS. IT
IS ONLY THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO GIVES THE
PERFECT PEACE WHICH THE PEOPLE OF THE
WORLD ARE LOOKING FOR, BUT THEY
CANNOT FIND BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT LED
BY THE HOLY SPIRIT.
Read the second lesson again:
SECOND BIBLE LESSON: GALATIANS 5:16
"This I say then, Walk in the spirit, and ye
shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh."
THOSE LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT HAVE
MORTIFIED THE FLESH:
34
When you continue your sins of fornication,
adultery, weeping, quarreling, fighting, among many
others, it means that you are not led by the Spirit. This is
so because if you were led by the Holy Spirit, you would
NOT continue to indulge in the sins which you take
pleasure in committing. A lot of brethren have
confessed of how they were smokers, drunkards, drug
addicts, fornicators, idolaters, adulterers and so on, but
the moment they became baptized into Brotherhood,
they forsook these evil acts.
Those who are in the world are led by the flesh,
and as such, they cannot refrain from sins. Within their
power, they have tried to forsake anger, yet they cannot.
They tried to have patience and tolerance, but they
lack the ability to abstain from sin. THIS IS
BECAUSE THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS NOT THERE
TO DIRECT THEM.
Anybody who is led by the Spirit of God does
not find it hard to practice all these tenets of
Brotherhood which revolve around righteousness.
Remember that the Holy Spirit is called the
COMFORTER AND THE COUNSELLOR. He
therefore comforts you and counsels you at all times .
He instructs you and provides you all your needs. HE
FILLS YOUR HEART WITH SO MUCH JOY AND
THE JOY IS SO MUCH THAT NONE CAN
PROVOKE YOU, NO MATTER WHAT HE OR
SHE DOES. WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT YOU
CANNOT BE OVERTAKEN BY VAIN
THOUGHTS. For instance when you are led by the
Holy Spirit you will discover that such things like ghost,
witchcraft, mermaid, and charms do not actually exist.
It is the Holy Spirit who provides you the best advice
35
needed in your life. Apart from Him nobody in the
entire world can give you this type of advice.
THE SOURCE OF JOY:
The type of joy, faith, and happiness He gives
you cannot be found in any other person; not even your
wife or husband. It is erroneous to think that drinks,
(alcoholic or none alcoholic) can give you real joy by
putting an end to your grief. It is equally fallacious to
believe that engaging in worldly music and dancing
would make you forget your unfortunate situation.
There is no amount of wealth that can give you
real joy. IN OTHER WORDS, THERE IS NOTHING
THAT CAN COMFORT YOU EXCEPT THE
GREAT COMFORTER WHO IS THE HOLY
SPIRIT. AND SO THIS IS THE WAY WE CAN
ESCAPE THE ENTANGLEMENTS OF THE
MUNDANE WORLD. IF WE ARE LED BY THE
HOLY SPIRIT WE CANNOT FALL PREY TO
THE LUST OF THE FLESH.
The Holy Spirit would direct you to pay your
tithe, refrain from evil thoughts, evil word and evil
actions. You can see that a lot of people who are even
members of the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star do
not listen to nor follow the guidance of the Holy Ghost.
That is why you continue to confess your sins daily
without refraining from them. It is said that the Spirit of
Our Lord Jesus Christ teaches us to do all things.
THAT SAME SPIRIT GUARDS YOU SO
THAT NO EVIL CAN COME NEAR YOU. That is
why Our Lord Jesus Christ said: "I am the vine, ye are
the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the
same bringeth forth much fruit; for without me, ye can
36
do nothing."(John 15:5)
WHEREVER WE DERAIL FROM HIS
PATH BY DEVIATING FROM THE
INSTRUCTIONS, WE ENCOUNTER MORE
PROBLEMS AND SUFFERING. HE HAS
TAUGHT US THE RIGHT THINGS TO DO, AND
IF YOU ADHERE TO HIS INSTRUCTIONS, YOU
WILL NOT ONLY BE A LIGHT TO YOUR LIFE
BUT TO THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY THAT YOU
FIND YOURSELF IN. That is why it is said:"Is any
among you afflicted? Let him pray. Is any merry, let
him sing psalms. Is any sick among you? Let him call
for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him,
anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the
prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall
raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall
be forgiven him." (James 5:13-15).
That is exactly what is expected of you:
PRAYER AND JOY. WHENEVER YOUR HEART
IS TROUBLED GO ON YOUR KNEES AND PRAY.
WHENEVER YOU ARE HAPPY, SING PRAISES
TO THE MOST HIGH AND BE JOYFUL. IF THE
ADVERSE SITUATION PERSISTS, GO ON
EVANGELICAL WORK AND CELEBRATE A
FEAST, THAT WILL BE THE END OF THE
PROBLEM. OUR SALVATION IS NOT FAR
FROM US, AND THE ABILITY TO OVERCOME
THE WORLD IS CLOSER TO US THAN OUR
TONGUE IS TO OUR TEETH.
Stop lamenting that you do not know how to
forsake anger, fornication, adultery, idolatry, telling of
lies, drinking, and other immoral acts. IT IS THE
ABSENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN YOUR LIFE
37
THAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR SINFUL
STATE. ANY MOMENT YOU ABIDE BY THE
DICTATES OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, YOU WOULD
BE GUIDED ON THE RIGHT PATH AND SHOWN
THE RIGHT THING TO DO.
AND SO, PRAYER IS THE KEY TO ALL
SPIRITUAL PROBLEMS. DO NOT CEASE FROM
PRAYING AT ANY TIME.
Neither money nor your physical strength can
save you. Your husband or wife cannot save you, not
even your relations. BUT THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN
PROVIDE YOU WITH A LASTING PEACE AND
BOUNDLESS JOY, PROVIDED YOU SUBMIT
YOUR ENTIRE SOUL INTO HIS HANDS. Your
brothers, sisters and parents cannot help you at all.
Instead of them to help you, their presence may even
become a problem or a hindrance to you. DO NOT
LISTEN TO ANY PERSON WHO IS IN THE
FLESH, WHETHER HE IS YOUR FATHER,
BROTHER, OR SISTER. YOU SHOULD LISTEN
ONLY TO THE HOLY SPIRIT.
For further reference repeat the Golden Text.
GOLDEN TEXT: ROMANS 8:14
"For as many as are led by the Spirit of
God, they are the sons of God."
WHEN YOU ARE CALLED AND CHOSEN:
The above text has explained the statement that
many are called but a few are chose. So you should
realize that only those led by the Spirit of God are God's
children. No matter how great the population of the
38
entire world may be, it is only those who are led by the
Spirit of God who are the children of God. These are the
people who have overcome the lust and affections of the
flesh and they are with God at all times. There is no
segregation, poverty, lack and suffering for them.
You lose nothing by walking by the Spirit of
God. What is your gain for following the directives of
the flesh? When you walk in the flesh, you lose your
sonship in God, and you lack peace, joy, happiness, and
progress in your life. This is so because as long as you
are led by the flesh, your handwork will be to commit
evil. So in all your life you will be seeking for evil and
evil too will continue to haunt you. Wherever the
children of God are there too is the source of life;
whether in the government, or in the community. Those
who are led by the Holy Spirit are distinct from the
carnal people.
Do not blame Adam and Eve or any other
person for your position and perdition. YOU ARE
SUFFERING BECAUSE YOU HAVE REFUSED TO
ABIDE BY THE DIRECTIVES OF THE HOLY
SPIRIT. YOUR DISOBEDIENCE TO THE WORD
OF GOD, WHICH IS THE SPIRITUAL
GUIDANCE, IS THE CAUSE OF YOUR
PREDICAMENTS.
It is said that if we walk by the dictates of the
flesh we shall perish but if we are led by the Spirit of
God we shall live. If we walk by the Spirit and crucify
the flesh, with all its lust and affections, we shall have
life. All those who walk in the spirit of God have
everlasting life, peace, glory, and wealth. All their
possessions are everlasting because they are the children
of God.
39
 May God bless His Holy Words, Amen.
THANK YOU FATHER
THE SALT OF THE
EARTH
FIRST BIBLE LESSON: MATTHEW 5:13-14
"Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt
have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted?
it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast
out, and to be trodden under the foot of men. Ye
are the light of the world. A city that is set on an
hill cannot be hid."
SECOND BIBLE LESSON: JOHN 14:6
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the
truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the
Father, but by me."
GOLDEN TEXT: JOHN 3:17-18
40
"For God sent not his Son into the world to
condemn the world; but that the world through
him might be saved. He that believeth on him is
not condemned: but he that believeth not is
condemned already, because he hath not believed
in the name of the only begotten Son of God."
THE TRUTH ABOUT GOD'S KINGDOM
Brethren, today is not a day for parables, for I
want to tell you the veritable truth about this kingdom.
This is because from time immemorial you were told
fairy tales, such as the tortoise and the lion, and one
thing or the other. This is not what concerns us, but our
business is with the truth which we are being told today;
for it pleases the Father to unveil the veritable truth
about this kingdom. I do not want you to clap your
hands. This is not a thing of clapping, shouting or
jubilating. I do not want those things. I want to tell you
the underlying truth, especially, concerning those things
which you have heard of but have not seen. This
information is going to be brief for I am a witness to this
glory.
Read the three texts:
FIRST BIBLE LESSON: MATTHEW 5:13-14
"Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt
have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted?
it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast
out, and to be trodden under the foot of men. Ye
are the light of the world. A city that is set on an
hill cannot be hid."
41
SECOND BIBLE LESSON: JOHN 14:6
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the
truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the
Father, but by me."
GOLDEN TEXT: JOHN 3:17-18
"For God sent not his Son into the world to
condemn the world; but that the world through
him might be saved. He that believeth on him is
not condemned: but he that believeth not is
condemned already, because he hath not believed
in the name of the only begotten Son of God."
CHRIST CAME TO STRAIGHTEN THE WAY:
Brethren, have you heard the scriptural text?
Now I want to cite some examples. I am not going to
give you fairy tales from the days of Noah or of
centuries ago. But I am going to tell you what is now at
stake from the beginning to the end. I want to lay them
bare before you.
You are all conversant with the story of Our
Lord Jesus Christ. Often people claim that if Christ did
not come, things would have been done either this way
or that way. They also claim that Noah and Enoch were
responsible for one thing or the other. I am not
interested in such stories. Such parable had already been
closed. If Our Lord Jesus Christ did not die or give his
life as a ransom for us, how would the world have been
now? I want to tell you openly that if Christ in His first
advent had failed to give his life as a ransom for the
atonement of our sins, even if He had been on earth for a
period of one hundred million years without the
42
shedding of His Blood, He would not have
accomplished His work, and invariably, the whole world
would not have been saved. It was for this reason that
He did not live long. If He had ventured to live longer
than was necessary, He would not have been the one.
This is because, that was not what was required of him.
What was required of him was one who would tread the
path of God, thus straightening the way and bring
salvation to the whole world. Someone imbued with the
virtue of love and the ability to transmit the love to
humanity.
You have heard what is stated in the First
Lesson that: Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt
hath lost its savor, where with shall it be salted? It is
henceforth good for nothing but to be cast out and to be
trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world.
A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. He brought
forth this analogy that ye are the salt of the earth. What
is the salt of the earth? What role does salt play in this
life and in the life to come? The scripture further states
that ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an
hill cannot be hid. What is light? Salt is a substance
which adds savor to whatever you cook. No matter how
you may wish to manipulate your meal, without salt,
such a meal will not have savor. In the same vein, ye are
the light of the world and without this light we are all in
darkness for millions of years. Whether we are asleep or
not, without light we are in darkness. Without light you
cannot see or identify anything. The whole world had
read the Bible right from the day of Adam till date yet
we have read nothing, comprehended nothing, and we
have practised no single word of God from the Bible.
We are made to understand that we are the salt of the
43
earth and once salt has lost its savor, it is useless. This
means the world has lost its savor, it is useless. Again it
is stated that:"ye are the light of the world, and a city
set on a hill cannot be hid." What is the situation now?
From the days of Adam till date, the entire people of
the world are in utter darkness, and they console
themselves with claims that God has not yet come.
How is God? Is He black, white, or red? Does
He eat or not? When Christ came he ate, experienced
pain, and hunger because what affects us equally
affected Him, but still He was God.
THE ONLY TEACHER AND LEADER:
You have heard the lyrics of the song rendered
by the Christ Witnesses that during His advent, there
were wars, killing, and men were cannibals. They stole,
and indulged in all manner of vices. Since then, till date,
how many thousands of years have we had? Since you
were given the knowledge about God, who among you
sees or knows Him? For how long would you continue
in ignorance? There is something I want to reveal to
you. The lack of seriousness amongst you is so much,
but I am happy because the light, truth, life, hope, and
peace have come. The world is in a pathetic state but
today, the reverse is the case. It is for this reason that I
enjoin you to pay rapt attention to what I am about to
tell you. BEFORE MY PHYSICAL ADVENT ON
EARTH I INSTRUCTED ALL AND SUNDRY TO
CALL ME TEACHER AND LEADER. NO MAN
TOLD ME TO ANSWER THESE NAMES BUT OUT
OF MY OWN VOLITION I TOLD PEOPLE TO CALL
ME TEACHER AND LEADER. What is the meaning of
Teacher and Leader? This is what I want to reveal to
44
you. What ever is not regarded as important is of great
significance. I HAVE NOT COME TO THE EARTH
PLANE AS GOD OR JESUS, ABRAHAM, NOAH, OR
ANYTHING. I AM A TEACHER AND A LEADER.
What is the meaning of Leader? What does
Teacher mean? What does light mean? What does salt of
the earth mean? THE SUMMARY OF ALL THESE
THINGS IS LOVE. LOVE IS GOD, CHRIST, GLORY
OF GOD, POWER AND THE ACCURATE
KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH. IT EMBRACES
ALL THINGS, AND IT IS EVERYWHERE. THAT IS
WHY IT IS STATED: "CHARITY BEGINS AT
HOME." If there is light here it would illuminate
everywhere for all and sundry to witness. And where the
truth is, all and sundry would enter through it. This is
the light the entire world has been searching for. This is
the truth that has eluded the entire world. The salt of the
earth which the world seeks for is here. THE LEADER
THAT THE ENTIRE WORLD IS ANXIOUSLY
WAITING, FOR HE IS NOW IN OUR MIDST. Love
is the Leader, the truth, man, and good health.
Everything revolves around love. And once you
are devoid of love, you are blind, not a human
being, and you are nothing in this life. What I want
to reveal to you now is the fountain of life, it is
expressed thus: "Ye are the light of the world, the
salt of the earth." I am going to expatiate on the salt
and the light of the world which is on a hill and
cannot be hidden. Where would man be without
feeling the impact of Brotherhood? Where would
man be without experiencing the sweetness and
comfort of Brotherhood? You do not attend any
45
church, prayer house, or any other institution, and
yet you see yourself enjoying the comforts of life.
You do not hear or practise the word of God but you
have seen this Light which is shining in you and in
the entire world. This Light is not an ordinary Light.
This Salt is equally not an ordinary salt. I CANNOT
READ THE BIBLE YOU ARE READING
BECAUSE IT CONTAINS NOTHING. THAT IS
WHY YOU DO NOT SEE ME WITH A COPY OF
THE BIBLE. I HAVE RATHER COME WITH
THIS LIGHT. Testimonies about this LIGHT
AND SALT have equally been told. This SALT
AND LIGHT HAVE COME. A city set on the
mountain has come and I am throwing more light
on it. BEFORE MY PHYSICAL
MANIFESTATION ON EARTH, I HAD BEEN
INSTRUCTED THAT SHOULD I REFUSE TO
GO TO THE WORLD, THE ENTIRE WORLD
WOULD PERISH AND SALVATION WOULD
NOT REACH MANKIND.
SPIRITUAL CHORUS:
“MY LIGHT IS THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.”
YE ARE THE SALT OF THE EARTH:
You call yourselves Thomases; but you are
not; because it is stated that, "Ye are the salt of the
earth." But when the salt has lost it savor, of what
use is it? If a man is blind, what can he say and
what does he know? Salt is the most important thing
46
in the life of man, because if you do without it, your
meal would not be delicious. Of what use is it when
you profess to be a living soul and yet you are
uncomfortable. If you are alive but you are not
happy, then animals are better than you are.
DUALITY IN CREATION:
You are instructed to choose from the
following: white and black, truth and falsehood,
good and bad, life and death, humility and pride, joy
and sorrow, day and night. Everything in life is in
pairs. You are expected to choose one and leave the
other. All these things revolve around one thing,
which is love.
SPIRITUAL CHORUS:
"IF YOU KNOW THE TRUTH, THE TRUTH
SHALL SET YOU FREE."
Given the above listed items, I have chosen
love which is truth, humility, life, righteousness,
mercy, patience, endurance, happiness, goodness
and joy. This is my choice. I have no business with
this life of stealing, falsehood, killing, anger, sin
and other vices. My only concern is with love,
which is God, truth, righteousness, and life
everlasting.
That explains why I insist on telling you the
truth about myself. Since I was born my mother
and father have never reprimanded me, neither
47
was I stubborn towards them. If you doubt me, you
can ask them because they are here present. I was
always obedient because as a Perfect Master, I
never gave them any reason to rebuke me. I
obeyed all the instructions they gave me, and
carried out all duties they assigned me, because I
love them; and charity begins at home. Whatever
you shall be in this life is known from your infancy.
My father and mother are here physically and you
can consult them for they will confirm what I am
telling you now. I never argued, insulted, or refused
to go on errands for them. There was never a single
day that they beat me up for any reason whatsoever.
We all lived together in love and in harmony. My
father never advised me, and the same is
applicable to my mother. I rendered services to
them accurately and sincerely because that was
what I was determined to do.
THE SUPERNATURAL TEACHER:
As a SUPERNATURAL TEACHER
whose mission is to teach, I know it was
obligatory to teach and guide them accurately.
And as light that has come into the world, I must
shine so that the entire world would see my
illumination. All my children who come after me,
are my brethren and I have never rebuked any of
them. I have never been angry with and I do not
even treat them as children, of course they are not
my children for they are all my brethren. I have no
48
child for they are my brethren. I have never beaten,
insulted, or reprimanded any one in anyway. Go to
any of them and ask if their brother, that is myself,
has ever done evil or anything bad to them. Can I
claim to be a leader if I have done any evil? If I had
ever cheated, beaten, abused, or insulted someone,
can I substantiate my claim as a leader and teacher?
I have universal love for everybody, hence there is
no discrimination. There is only love existing.
Read the Second Lesson again.
SECOND BIBLE LESSON: JOHN 14:6
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the
truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the
Father, but by me."
CHRIST IS THE WAY:
Have you understood that? "Jesus said unto
him, I am the way, the truth and the life, no man
cometh unto the Father but by me." If you are not
the way, which other way exists and where would
man go through? If you are not the truth, what
would lead you aright? If you are not life, how
would you live? If you are devoid of love, if you do
not speak the truth, if you do not humble yourself,
and show mercy, patience, and regard everyone as
yourself, what do you think you are? We are
expected to walk according to the virtue of love.
You have to possess love, mercy, you have to speak
49
good words, you have to be united as one under
Christ, eat from the same plate, and share
everything equally. I regard all the children of God
as one. We are one brethren, we are all of one
Father and mother. The whole of Biakpan, Ubagara,
Biase, Cross River State, the whole of Nigeria,
Africa, and the whole world, the whites and blacks
and other races, everybody is one. I LOVE
EVERYBODY EQUALLY, THERE IS NO ONE
THAT I DO NOT LOVE, THERE IS NONE THAT
I DO NOT LOVE AS MYSELF. I DO NOT HATE,
NOR DO I DISCRIMINATE AGAINST ANY
ONE. I DO NOT CHEAT ANYONE EITHER.
The literal meaning of Biase is brethren, you have
been told this before, a long time ago. I united the
entire Biase into an indivisible whole for that is my
mission. If you do not love yourself, how can you
love another? For charity begins at home. If you do
not love your fellow man, how can you love God?
Without the love for God, how can you love your
community, without loving your community how
can you live and how can you feel the comforts of
life? If you like go to Biakpan, Calabar, or any part
of Nigeria, everybody knows me. This is the
oneness which is the practical Christianity. My
mission is not to preach the gospel, but to
demonstrate the practical aspect of it. If you doubt
me, go to Number 8 Eton Street where I stayed, and
make enquiry about my nature and my behavior. I
was friendly with all my landlord's children, and I
50
regarded all of them as one. This town is mine,
ranging from Efut, Nsidung, Atakpa, Big Qua and
beyond, they are all my brethren and we are one. I
have never quarreled with, nor hated, begrudged
anyone, neither have I claimed anything which does
not belong to me. I lead an exemplary life of
Practical Christianity. This is what I brought to the
entire world.
My mission is to be humble, teach and
demonstrate love to you. Whosoever learns to do
anything is not perfect. I AM THE MASTER
WHOSE MISSION AMONG OTHERS IS TO
TEACH AND LEAD YOU TO THE ACCURATE
KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH. I HAVE
PRACTICALIZED ALL THESE THINGS HENCE
I HAVE COME TO TEACH YOU AND THE
ENTIRE WORLD ABOUT LOVE PATIENCE,
HUMILITY, RIGHTEOUSNESS, PEACE,
HAPPINESS, AND ALL THE VIRTUES OF
GOD. I HAVE ALSO COME TO TEACH YOU
HOW TO HONOR ONE ANOTHER AND THAT
EXPLAINS WHY CHRIST SAID,"I AM THE
WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIGHT." HENCE
YOU CANNOT EXPERIENCE THE MERCY
YOU DESIRE IF YOU DO NOT HAVE LOVE,
PATIENCE, HUMILITY, OR IF YOU DO NOT
ABIDE IN PEACE WITH EVERYBODY. YOU
CANNOT ON YOUR OWN HAVE PEACE,
HAPPINESS, JOY, GOODNESS AND
EVERLASTING LIFE. THIS IS WHY CHRIST
51
SAID, "I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND
THE LIFE, NO MAN COMETH UNTO THE
FATHER, BUT BY ME." IN THE SAME VEIN, I
AM REITERATING, THAT I AM THAT WAY, IF
YOU DO NOT EMULATE ME AND LIVE
ACCORDING TO MY LIFE STYLE, YOU
CANNOT ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF
GOD. Even if you remain here for a million years, it
profits you nothing. What we want is peace, love,
humility, truth, and forgiveness. Go to the number
of people gathered here, ask them if I, at any point
in time, had reprimanded or issued instructions to
them to do this or that. Look at the Christ
Witnesses, Children of God and the whole
congregation and ask them if my claims are correct
or not. I do not see any sin in you, for I have not
come to impute sins on anyone. I HAVE NOT
COME FOR THE BLACKS OR FOR THE
WHITES, BUT FOR THE ENTIRE HUMAN
RACE. I AM NOT INTERESTED IN
WHATEVER YOU DO. I HAVE COME WITH
TRUTH, MERCY, HUMILITY, AND I WANT
EVERYBODY TO EMULATE ME. There is no
place where this truth has not been seen, hence
nobody has any excuse or what to say in defense of
himself. I regard everybody equally since we are
moving towards the unification of the entire world.
Once you lack these virtues, you are condemned,
not by me, but by your refusal to adhere strictly to
the instructions of God. I do not want to take you
52
further for my own witnesses to what I am saying.
Come out and say whether I have abused, cursed, or
lied, that the Father had looked down on you or
does not know you. I have not learned these
attributes for they are inborn.
THE KINGDOM OF GOD REVEALED:
This is that kingdom of God that all and
sundry have been waiting for. Do not go in search
of the kingdom of God. This love is that kingdom of
God. You are enjoined to have love for everything
created, including the fishes and the plants. When
you claim to be, what about the others? The truth is
that we are one, that is why I tell you that today is
not a day for fairy tales or parables. When you pay a
visit to the house of the toad and you observe the
father and mother toad squatting, what would you
do? Since you knew me, who has emulated me? As
long as you do not emulate me, who is to blame?
What would you say on the last day?
Read the Golden Text.
GOLDEN TEXT: JOHN 3:17-18
"For God sent not his Son into the world to
condemn the world; but that the world through
him might be saved. He that believeth on him is
not condemned: but he that believeth not is
condemned already, because he hath not believed
in the name of the only begotten Son of God."
53
THROUGH CHRIST THE WORLD IS SAVED:
THIS IS WHY I CAME INTO THE
WORLD. HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ME CURSE
OR JUDGE ANYONE? I DO NOT JUDGE THE
WHITES NOR THE BLACKS. I DO NOT HATE.
I AM NOT INTERESTED IN WHATEVER YOU
DO BUT I HAVE COME AS THE TRUTH,
MERCY, AND AS HUMILITY, SO THAT ALL
AND SUNDRY WOULD SEE AND EMULATE
ME AND NOT JUDGED. THOSE WHO SEE
AND OBSERVE AND EMULATE MY
LIFESTYLE HAVE LIFE, BUT YOU SAY YOU
ARE THOMAS BECAUSE THOUGH YOU
HAVE SEEN, YET YOU DO NOT BELIEVE. IS
THERE ANY ONE WHO HAS NOT SEEN THIS
TRUTH? Go overseas and you will be told not to
speak ill of him because He is their friend. Nobody
has any excuse to defend himself with. What would
you say in defense of yourself? Say whatever you
want to say. All the lies you like to tell, go ahead
FOR THE TRUTH THAT IS ANOTHER MAN'S
GARMENT CANNOT FIT ME, FOR MY
GARMENT IS PATIENCE, TRUTH, HUMILITY,
RIGHTEOUSNESS, ONENESS, AND ALL
VIRTUES ARE WHAT I USE. I REGARD ALL
MEN AS EQUAL AND I LOVE ALL MEN
EQUALLY. EVERY ONE HAS SEEN THIS
LOVE AND ONENESS BUT YOU LACK THIS
VIRTUE IF YOU ARE DEVOID OF THIS LOVE.
Well, you have been condemned already. I do not
54
condemn anyone. That explains the reason why
Christ states that,"It is expedient that I go; for if I do
not go the Comforter would not come." (John 16:7)
I HAVE NOT COME AS A PASTOR, BISHOP,
POPE, OR PRIEST, IN ORDER TO RULE OVER
YOU. SUCH IS NOT MY MISSION. MY
COMING TO THE EARTH PLANE IS NOT AN
EASY TASK. IF CHRIST DID NOT SHED HIS
BLOOD FOR THIS REASON, MY COMING
WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE. MY
MISSION IS TO REVEAL THE GLORY OF
GOD WHICH IS THE GREATEST TASK. SO
ALL WHO WALK ACCORDING TO THE LAID
DOWN PRINCIPLES AND INJUNCTIONS OF
GOD CANNOT STAND BEFORE THE
JUDGEMENT. All those who do not practise the
injunctions of God but they claim that they are not
Jesus, Obu, this or that, have themselves to blame.
This is because a local adage states that a stubborn
fowl always ends up in a pot of soup, meaning that
one who is stubborn would always suffer the
repercussion of his stubbornness. YOUR CLAIM

ME. MY CONCERN IS FOR THOSE WHO

us and what is expected of us all.
It is surprising to note that many of the people who
claim to be serving God cannot even go out to
spread the gospel of salvation to the world. How do
you serve God, if you do not preach His gospel to

56 57
all nations? It is inevitable that we should preach the
gospel to the world. And our primary assignment in
this kingdom is to preach the word of God, because
man's salvation is contingent on the word of God.
This accounts for the response of Our Lord Jesus
Christ to the tempter that, “man shall not live by
bread alone, but by every word that comes out from
God.” (Matt 4:4/Luke 4:4)
There is much blessing in preaching the
word of God. There is void in someone who cannot
preach and practise the word of God. All good
things are at your disposal when you preach and
practise the word of God. Of what use are you if
you do not preach and practise the word of God?
The food of the people of the world are fufu,
pounded yam, rice, beans, plantain etc, but the food
of the children of God, whom we are, is to hear
the word of God, practise same and preach it to
the world.
SPREAD THE GOSPEL:
You are all living witnesses to the fact that
the field is over-ripe, but there you are in your
house, relaxing. You neither practise nor preach the
word of God, yet you allege that you are
worshipping God. How do you worship Him?
You have been enjoined to put in your best in the
service of God and, know that you will be rewarded
based on your effort. If you do not hear, practise and
preach the word of God, where then lies your hope
58
for salvation?
As many as have received the Holy Spirit,
they are the instrument and laborers in the vineyard
of God. Your work is to hear the word of God,
preach and practise same. If you do not have the
Holy Spirit, you are not of God and as such you are
dead. And those who receive the Holy Spirit are
expected to go out and evangelize the world.
It is one thing to hear the word of God and
another to preach what you have heard; yet a third
and very important thing is to practise what you
preach. You should know that Our Lord Jesus
Christ did not only preach the word of God, He
practiced it to the letter. Even today in your midst,
you have seen the Father preaching and
exhaustively practicing His teachings. You are tools
unto God. He did not create us to come and toy
around the surface of the earth aimlessly. You are
not expected to blaspheme and murmur against
God. You should not talk about what you do not
know . This will result in confusion and chaos. Note
that you will give account of your work here on
earth. When the time comes, what would you say
you have done?
Our Lord Jesus Christ accomplished much
before He said to the Father: "I have glorified thee
on the earth: I have finished the work which thou
gavest me to do. And now, O Father, glorify thou
me with thine own self with the glory which I had
with thee before the world was. (John 17:4-5). Our
59
brother Paul was also confident in himself and was
sure to receive the crown of glory, having
accomplished much in spreading the gospel of
Christ to many countries. Peter also accomplished
much.
Suppose you are given an orange, which you
have not yet sucked, how would you tell people
about the taste of the orange? It is only when you
taste the orange that you will be able to tell others
about the taste of it. We glory in nothing but in
hearing, practicing and preaching the word of God.
Here lies, our joy, peace, power growth, wealth, life,
health and indeed salvation.
Who are those to receive good things from
God and who are those who will go empty handed?
The children of God will inevitably receive the gift
of God. The people of the world suffer because they
despise the word of God but desire and seek for the
material things of this world. Money, cars, houses,
husband, children and food are earthly things. The
gift of God is embedded in the word of God.
THE INSTRUMENT FOR CHANGE:
The word is given to you so that you could,
in turn, spread it to others. The word should be
preached to the people of the world, so that they too
might repent and have salvation. You cannot preach
the word unless you listen to it and practise same.
The word of God is the only effective means which
can change man on this plane of manifest, and in the
60
future. A man may plan to kill his fellow man with
a very sharp machete. And that may be the time one
goes to preach the word of God to him, and in the
end, he changes his mind and desists from the
planned murder
.
FATHER'S ILLUSTRATION: IMPORTANCE OF
PREACHING:
There was an Evangelist who had a son.
When the son was in his infancy, the evangelist
used to take the boy along on field ministry. One
day, as they were about to leave for preaching, the
sky became very heavy, a sign of a very heavy
down pour. On seeing this, the father told the son
that they should stay back so that rain might not
disturb them on their way. The son raised an
objection, and told the father that there could be
someone somewhere planning to commit suicide,
and that, if they do visit and preach to him, he
would change his mind and live on. The boy further
told the father that if they avoided going for the
field ministry, it means the person would kill
himself. The boy further stressed that, since their
work is that of saving souls, they should proceed
unperturbed by anything.
The Evangelist did not see any sense in the
son's statement and so since the boy so stressed that
preaching should be done that day, he went into the
room, brought out a rain coat which he gave to the
son, and then asked him to go to preach in the rain.
61
The Father, then relaxed in his room.
As if the boy was given a vision, the first
place he called to preach, he knocked at the door
and when he went in, he saw a man trying to hang
himself. He had already tied a string to the rafters of
his room and was trying to fix his neck into the
string. When eventually the boy knocked on the
door and waited for a while he heard nothing, for
there was no response. The boy was however
convinced that there was somebody inside. He
knocked persistently for three times before the man
climbed down the table he had positioned to aid him
carry out the act, and opened the door.
When finally they settled down for the word
of God, the boy decided to preach against murder.
He told the man that murder is sin, and that
whosoever commits murder shall be killed. The boy
informed the man that killing one's self is murder.
This, he explained, is because in killing yourself,
you have destroyed a man that was created by God
and so, you will have to be killed the second time.
The man was surprised at this revelation and
confessed that he was about to commit suicide
before the boy knocked on the door. Following that
visit and the wonderful revelation from the word of
God, the man changed his mind and gave up the
idea of committing suicide. The man told the boy
that he thought that if one kills himself that there is
no problem but that having heard from the boy
that suicide and murder equally carry death penalty,
62
he has repented.
You would realize that the life of this man
was saved through the boy's intervention and
subsequent preaching of the word of God.
EVERLASTING GOSPEL:
You have no cause to relent in preaching the
word of God. Recall that for the three and a half
years that our Lord Jesus Christ preached the word
of God, He never rested for one day. That was the
reason why the Jews sought to kill him for
performing healing on a Sabbath day. He said: "My
Father worketh hitherto, and I work." (John 5:17).
Paul also used to preach round the clock. It was on
one such occasion that a certain young man named
Eutychus, sat by the window, and having fallen into
a deep sleep, he slipped and fell down from the third
loft, and was taken up dead. Paul went down, and
fell on him. Embracing the body he said: "Trouble
not yourselves; for his life is in him.....!" (Acts
20:7-12).
The word of God is everlasting and
inexhaustible hence, Paul said: "I was imprisoned
but not the word of God." You would realize that if
you are a preacher and taken into prison, there, will
you be preaching the word of God even more than
ever. Even though one is chained or handcuffed, the
word of God remains the same and untampered
with.
Recall Paul's encounter with king Aggrippa.
63
When Paul had finished telling the people the word
of God, the king turned and said to Paul, "Almost
thou persuadest me to be a Christian. And Paul said,
I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that
hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether
such as I am, except these bonds!.." (Acts 26:29)
You are all indebted to the people of the
world. You owe them the word of God. You are to
take the word of God to every nook and cranny for
them to practice. You claim that you want to do the
work of God. What is the work of God? The work
of God is hearing, practicing and preaching the
word of God.
The scripture has it that, everyone who calls
upon the name of the Lord will be saved. But it is
said: "How then shall they call on him in whom
they have not believed? And how shall they believe
in him of whom they have not heard? And how
shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall
they preach, except they be sent? As it is written,
How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the
gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good
things. But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For
Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the
word of God." (Romans 10:14-17).
Following what is stated above, we are made
to understand the fact that anyone who has faith in
God has eternal life. But the question is how would
we believe or have faith in Him, whom we have
64
never heard of? That is the reason why we have
been enjoined that, any town or city without a
prophet is perished. Without a preacher (prophet) in
a city, the inhabitants of such a city would not
believe in God and practice His words. To that
effect such a city is condemned.
One of our brethren, residing in Zaire
testified that everybody in the compound he lives is
afraid of the house, because of the landlord's
dubious character. In fact, he further testified that,
he is the only person and a Nigerian for that matter,
who is living in the compound till now. He added
that what he had used in winning the landlord is the
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star pamphlets. And
after going through the books, the man did not
hesitate to be baptized. He then testified that the
man and his entire family are now members of this
wonderful kingdom.
A spiritual song has it that, "Preach, for the
world is blind and deaf." So brethren, we all should
preach ceaselessly; for the entire world is blind and
deaf. This is because their misconceptions cannot be
corrected, if they are not preached to. The words of
God preached here by the Father are so interesting
and striking that people always say that the gospels
are working marvelously each passing day. This is
so because the Father always preaches to correct the
people's misconceptions. In fact, this is the more
reason why I do not relent in my efforts in
preaching to you. And it is imperative that you avail
65
yourself of this golden opportunity to listen to the
word of God and practise same.
A local adage has it that wine torments
someone according to the person's behavior. The
word of God contains love, mercy, power, peace
and other virtues. Therefore, for one to possess
these virtues, he needs to come into this kingdom
(the reservoir) and imbibe the gospel. Once you
have the word of God lavishly in you, you can never
be stupid because your eyes would be made to open.
Read our first lesson again.
FIRST LESSON: JOHN 4:34
"Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do to
do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his
work."
THE ALMIGHTY FATHER:
How would people have been salvaged, if
Our Lord Jesus Christ came but failed to impart the
divine word of God to all and sundry? If Our Lord
Jesus Christ came and departed without making
pronouncements and giving instructions, what then
would have been written about Him? There would
have been no proof regarding His coming and
departing, and because of this, there would have
been more doubt about His advent than what is
being speculated now.
It is clearly evident that there is no mention
made about the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ in
66
the old testament. Moreover, there is no excerpt in
the Old Testament which tells people that, God is a
Spirit. There is no portion too, in the old testament
which indicates that God is the Father. Take for
instance, the case of Moses. There was a time he
had a revelation and in that revelation, he was
instructed to remove his shoes for the place he stood
was holy. And when Moses heard that, he inquired
to know who the speaker was and the voice said that
He was the living God - "I am that I am." The
speaker did not say that he is Jehovah.
I have been telling you always that,
Jehovah is not God; rather, it is a general title
for angels. For Instance, Jehovah Jah is the angel
who rules over the forest. So when you hear people
professing that God has many names, do not be
astonished, for they are making such claims
ignorantly. But it was Our Lord Jesus Christ, who,
when He came, narrated to all and sundry that God
is Truth, God is Spirit, Father, and Good. Now the
question is, if Our Lord Jesus Christ did not come
and alert us about this truth, how then would we
have known?
The seven days of the week we have now is
not found in the Old Testament. God started His
creation on Sunday, the first day of the week. The
word, Sunday is the name of the angel assigned to
carry out all duties on the first day of the week. He
is also the angel who rules over the sun. Monday,
on the other hand, is the angel who rules over the
67
moon and also performs all the functions lined up
for the second day of the week. But it is not
uncommon to hear people regarding Monday as the
first day of the week. This is the reason why it is
imperative that you come here and listen to the
word of God. Because what I have in store for you
is much and superb.
In the olden days, there was nothing like the
months of the year and the time of the clock. But in
this modern world, the whites have introduced all
these things without knowing their meaning. For
instance, January is the name of an angel assigned
to take charge of the activities of the first month of
the year, while February is the name of the angel
who performs the assignment lined up for the
second month of the year. The names for other
months are also names of angels.
Do you know that April which is regarded as
the fourth month of the year is the first month?
December, which is regarded as the twelfth month
is in fact, the ninth month. But the names were just
mixed up ignorantly. And so, in a chronological
order, the correct thing should be: April, May, June,
July, August, September, October, November,
December, January, February, and March. The
above is the correct order of the twelve calendar
months of the year. Did you know this? Your fore-
fathers never heard of such truth but it has pleased
the Holy Spirit to reveal it to you at this end of time,
in fulfillment of His promise that when He comes,
68
He will teach us and lead us unto the accurate
knowledge of truth.
Most people do profess that Satan loves evil
doers. This is erroneous because there is no such
statement in the Bible. In the past, Paul wrote letters
to the Corinthians, Ephesians, Thessalonians etc.
And these letters were used as gospels, whereas
they were private affairs which do not really teach
mankind the right way to perfection. BUT NOW
THE FATHER IS HERE TO IMPART TO HIS
CHILDREN, THE REAL TEACHINGS THAT
LEAD TO PERFECTION. That is the reason why I
insist that these gospels should be published in
different languages and distributed to all and sundry
in every nook and cranny of the world. These
gospels are the only way through which the
world would be united in love. These are the only
teachings that will dominate the entire world.
The Old Testament constitutes the
elementary teachings. It was after the arrival of Our
Lord Jesus Christ that we started to experience what
could be termed as secondary teachings. However,
these teachings, (the secondary teachings) were not
properly analyzed because there was no Holy Spirit
by then. This explains the reason why our Lord
Jesus Christ said: "If I have told you earthly things,
and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you
of heavenly things?" (John 3:12). Furthermore He
said: "I have yet many things to say unto you, but
ye cannot hear them now. Howbeit, when he, the
69
spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all
truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but
whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he
will shew you things to come." (John 16:12-13).
JUST AS OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
PROMISED, THE HOLY SPIRIT IS NOW ON
EARTH TEACHING MAN ALL THAT HE DID
NOT KNOW, AND SO, WHOEVER DOES NOT
HARKEN ONTO HIS WORDS HAS NO LIFE IN
HIM.
The people of old were primarily taught
about prophesying. This is the reason why the
teachings in the Old Testament deal exclusively
with prophecies. In other words, there were no good
teaching of the word of God by then.
Our Lord Jesus Christ was the first
person who introduced the real teachings of God
to the world. He is true, and His words are true. In
fact, He is The Word. That is the reason why, when
He told His disciples that the Holy Spirit would
descend upon them on the day of Pentecost, it
happened just as He said. From this, one could infer
that, Jesus the Christ was the one who became
the Holy Spirit and descended on His disciples
on the day of Pentecost.
THE HOLY SPIRIT IS NOW ON EARTH:
All the miracles performed by the disciples
of Jesus Christ as recorded in the Acts of the
Apostles were not really accomplished by them per
70
se, rather, the works were accomplished by Our
Lord Jesus Christ through them. That was all for
that time. But now, the real and only teachings of
God can be found in the Revelation of John the
Divine. It should be noted that the book containing
the divine teachings of God was kept in the custody
of an angel. And this has reference in Revelation
5:2: "And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a
loud voice, who is worthy to open the book, and to
loose the seals there of?" However, there was none
in heaven or on earth or under the earth who was
worthy to open the book and look into it.
Moses was given some commandments for
the people of the world. THESE
COMMANDMENTS WHICH WERE FROM AN
ANGEL WERE NOT WELL DESIGNED. THIS
WAS THE REASON WHY OUR LORD JESUS
CHRIST WAS SENT TO COME AND EFFECT
THE NECESSARY CHANGES. And when He
came, He said: "Think not that I am come to destroy
the law or prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to
fulfill." (Matthew 5:17). The laws of Moses were
to no avail. But after the fulfillment of the laws by
Our Lord Jesus Christ, He gave as His last
commandment, "Love one another." But it is very
pathetic that up till now, none is prepared to abide
by the said law (commandment) of Our Lord Jesus
Christ.
None of the disciples of Our Lord Jesus
Christ kept to the words of the Master while He
71
(Christ) was still on earth. That was the reason He
told them that, they (His disciples) would not be
able to practise His teachings until the arrival of the
Comforter. The disciples could not understand the
words pronounced by the Master due to the fact that
they did not possess the Holy Spirit.
During His time, Our Lord Jesus Christ
could only reveal His glory through the miraculous
feats, which He was noted for, but not through
preaching because there was no Holy Spirit by then
to aid the listeners to understand His preaching.
Thus, after His preaching, He closed the book and
gave it to the attendant, and this is the book which
the angel referred to in Revelation 5:2.
And we have been made to understand that,
there was nobody in heaven nor on earth who was
able to open and read the book. Now the question is,
if there was nobody to open and read the book,
would we have seen the light which we are seeing
today?
The entire world would have been
condemned, but for the coming of the Holy Spirit.
The whites and others tried their very best to
renovate the condemned world but to no avail. That
is the reason why the coming of the Holy Spirit is
so significant. The Holy Spirit has come, and has
put a great change to the entire world system. This
explains the reason why most churches do things
which they had never been doing before. For
example, the Roman Catholic members are found
72
dancing now in the church which hitherto was
forbidden. The various governments of the world
too have changed from their former misconceptions
about God because of the light which the Holy
Spirit has brought to mankind.
The doctrine and glory of Brotherhood of
the Cross and Star eluded the entire inhabitants of
the world. That is the reason why they often claim
that Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is not in the
Holy Bible. The entire world has been disorganized
by its inhabitants to the extent that it could be
likened to a situation where the thief steals
someone's car and reconstructs it, to conceal it from
the real owner.
Six a.m. to six p.m. makes a full day while
six p.m. to six a.m. constitutes a full night. This is
the best way of counting days and night. But
today, due to the illegal changes effected by the
people of the world, one a.m. to twelve midnight is
now regarded to constitute a day. But for the
coming of the Holy Spirit, none would have been
saved, because there was no other source of
salvation for mankind. The teachings imparted to
you by the Holy Spirit are neither learned nor
derived from any books. Rather, it is because there
was no other source of salvation to mankind. The
teachings imparted to you by the Holy Spirit are
neither learned nor scoured from books; rather, it is
because of the love of God for humanity, that He
sent to us the Holy Spirit of truth to reveal the
73
things that were hitherto hidden from man.
To prevent the people of the world from
saying that Brotherhood of the Cross and Star does
not use the Holy Bible, I chose to start teaching you
from the Holy Bible. There are many teachings that
I have brought to mankind. Most of them are yet to
be touched. That is the reason why it is
disadvantageous for one to be absent for even a day.
The members of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star
are now flying like birds in the air. Every member
of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star has been
exposed to all the secrets of the world. These are yet
the elementary teachings of the Holy Spirit. These
teachings are getting you set for the main teaching
ahead. And when the advanced teachings are
brought to you, you will always yearn for more.
DO AWAY WITH EVIL:
Brotherhood does not constitute preaching
and hearing the words of God alone, rather it
constitutes the practical application of all the
teachings of the Father. However, since none of you
is engaged in the practical application of the words
of the Father, I have deduced that Brotherhood has
not yet started. I would start whenever you are
prepared to practise the teachings which are
imparted to you.
The most needed thing in Brotherhood of
the Cross and Star is righteousness and love. And
by the time one or two persons would possess the
74
above needed things, you would see how
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star will then bloom
all over the Universe.
Since Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is
yet to start, people have not come as they are
supposed to. But once righteousness and love are
exhibited, then practical Brotherhood will start. On
this note therefore, desist from telling people about
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, but strive to love
one another in righteousness, for people will flock
into the Kingdom through your behaviour.
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star seeks after unity
(oneness) and righteousness. That is the reason why
the Father seems to shun the indigenes of Biakpan.
They do not wish or intend to do away with their
diabolical deeds.
Here in the kingdom, I always try to make
sure that oneness and righteousness prevail. And for
the scripture at Matthew 6:10 to materialize, you
need to seek after oneness and righteousness
wherever you may be. The entire people of the
world are one. As such, there should be no
segregation among them. As it was through one
man that evil (sin) came into the whole world, so
also is it that through one man (Our Lord Jesus
Christ), that salvation has been brought to mankind.
Hearing the word of God has its own
function(s). In the same vein, the practising of the
word of God also has its own functions. Moreover,
preaching the word of God has its own function(s)
75
but the greatest of these functions, is practising the
gospel. But if you do not hear, how would you
practise? If you do not practise, how would you
preach? Therefore, the three functions are all the
same, thus, it is imperative that you abide by them
all.
What is being done now is the introduction
of this kingdom. At the fullness of time, the Father
will choose the real Brotherhood members and pack
them into one place designated for THE
KINGDOM OF GOD. And that is the time that you
will see the exodus of people into the kingdom, just
to witness Brotherhood of the Cross and Star by
example. By then (the fullness of time), there would
be no more preaching of the word of God, because
all who would be in the kingdom would not wait to
be preached to, before they practise the right thing,
rather, they would always practise the word of God.
By then, it is only those who would do away with
evil that will be enlisted into he Kingdom of God.
A time is coming when people from far
and near will come into the kingdom to embrace
this truth. At that time, you would not need to
preach to such people because they will be
convinced by the truth and the Holy Spirit shall
teach them everything. It is written: "For it is
impossible, for those who were once enlightened,
and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made
partakers of the Holy Ghost. And have tasted the
good word of God, and the powers of the world to
76
come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again
unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves
the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open
shame." (Hebrews 6:4-6).
People will bear eloquent testimony about
the wonderful power and wisdom of God. As more
and more people continue to believe in this power,
so will idolatry and every form of medication cease.
It is only the power of the word that will eradicate
stealing, lying, fornication, and every other sinful
act. There shall be no more sickness, pains, war,
death and problems at all.
It is only God who has the power and the
right to change man and the adverse conditions in
the world. It is only the love of God that will reign
at that time; nobody shall claim ownership of
anything. The power of lies shall cease to control
man as there will be no need to tell lies, to hate, to
quarrel, fight or beat any. Court cases and litigation
shall be no more. The need to maintain the army for
peace keeping and security shall cease.
In some developed countries, only the police
force is allowed to go around, to maintain peace and
order. Soldiers are not seen in the streets and in
public places, yet they are living in peace and
harmony. Their governments respect human dignity
and freedom. Public utilities and other essential
services are well controlled for the good of the
people. In the event of power failure for instance,
apology is made to the public, and the cause of such
77
failure, stated and rectified. But here in Nigeria and
the whole of Africa, the situation is different. The
people are brutalized by the police and
dehumanized by the government. The few available
public utilities are very irregular and poorly
managed. Security agencies turn into agents of
brutality instead of protecting the lives and property
of citizens. The situation could be compared to one
keeping his yams in the custody of a goat, or
trusting one's sheep in the care of a leopard.
The kingdom of God has been established
here on earth. Before now you had been wondering
about the possibility of getting someone in the
likeness of the Father. On many occasions, you
openly confess that none would be like Him. Have
you not been proved wrong today? It is said that
Rome was not build in a day. Gradually, the will of
God shall be made manifest on earth. There is a
local adage that, if you travel to the community of
toads, and there you discover that both the mother
and father toads squat, all you have to do is to squat
with them. In order words, if you are in Rome, do as
the Romans.
The children born into the world now are
different from their parents. These are the children
of God who have nothing to do with evil. All over
the world people are testifying over the wonderful
works and power of the Holy Spirit. His power has
no beginning, nor an end.
78
STATE OF HOLINESS:
Those of us who are God's children have to
continue in a state of piety, and serve him day and
night. It is on the basis of this that there is joy both
in the days and all the nights here in the Kingdom.
This also explains why there is no sickness, poverty
or mourning in our midst. It is only joy, joy, and joy
everyday. Brotherhood has not even started in
earnest. When it is in its full form, the world will be
shocked. Here in the kingdom, there is none who is
considered as bad, stranger or weak. We are not
under tradition of law.
Read the second lesson again.
SECOND LESSON: LUKE 4:18
"The spirit of the Lord is upon me, because
he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the
poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted,
to preach deliverance to the captives, and
recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty
them that are bruised."
THE FREEDOM FOR THE CAPTIVES:
Have all the things enumerated not come to
pass? Is the spirit of God not upon you? Have you
gone out to preach the gospel? Have you refrained
from stealing, quarreling, telling lies, causing
division and the rest of the vices? Is there any sign
of understanding in you. That is the work of our
79
Lord Jesus Christ. That is why He said that if the
world hates you, you should realize that the Spirit of
God which is the Spirit of Salvation is upon you.
Whoever abides in this Spirit is a child of God and
cannot be loved by the world. Such Spirit is the
Spirit of kingship and glory. Moreover, it is the
greatest of all spirits and it is of God. That is why
whenever a member of Brotherhood arrives at any
place, all demonic spirits in such places are
destroyed.
THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE FATHER,
THE ONE DWELLING IN YOU. YOU SHOULD
ALWAYS BEAR IN MIND THAT YOU ARE
NOT CONTROLLED BY ANY ANGEL, OR
MAN, BUT BY THE FATHER HIMSELF WHO
DWELLS IN YOU. Unfortunately, the thoughts of
what to eat, drink and put on do not allow you to
know Him and feel His presence in you. Many of
you pray to the Father to help you secure a good
husband or wife, make your business profitable and
your farm to bring out a bumper harvest. Do you
think the Father has come to do any of such things?
It is said, the spirit of God is upon me to go
and preach the gospel. When God is with you, who
will be against you? GOD WHO CREATED
HEAVEN AND EARTH HAS COME TO LIVE
WITH MEN. Why then do you lament? He is
money, He is life, He is the truth and wealth. He is
everything to every man. Why then do you enslave
yourself to a fellow man?
80
ABSOLUTE FREEDOM
In the kingdom of God, there is absolute
freedom. There is no sickness, or hunger, and
above all, there is no death. Your problem is
ignorance. You are spiritually blind while your
physical eyes are open. That is why I always pity
you because you do not know where you are? God
is an epitome of perfection. He is all knowing,
excellent, perfect and righteous. He is peace, joy,
power, harmony, life everlasting, truth and all the
virtues. Therefore, once you possess these virtues as
nominated by God, you will have no problem; even
all the angels will worship you. Once you possess
these qualities, you will cease to he afraid of any
person or thing and everything will be subjected
under your feet. Instead of practising His
injunctions, you rather prefer to steal, drink, smoke,
tell lies, indulge in idolatry and to live abominably.
You are easily annoyed, you quarrel, fight, kill and
reject God.
If the Spirit of God is upon you, why do you
continue to steal, get angry, doubt, deceive, and
shed tears. You lament and acknowledge the
presence of juju and witchcraft. It means that, you
are still devoid of the Spirit of God. Whenever you
are endowed with the spirit of God, that gives you
justification and the right of sonship. Once you are
controlled by the Holy Spirit, you would realize
what is expected of you. For instance, you will be
patient, truthful, humble, meek and generally godly.
81
Once the spirit of God is upon you, you will not
wait to be ordered to go out and preach the gospel,
or to refrain from evil.
It is said that amongst those that believed
and had the Spirit of God upon them, went and sold
all the things they had and brought the proceeds
therefrom to the Apostles. But those who did not
believe and were without the Spirit of God, like
Ananias, even though they had sold all that they
had, hid some of the proceeds. When Peter asked
him why he should tempt the Lord his God, He
reminded him that when the farm was not yet sold,
it belonged to him. And after the harvest, the
proceeds therefore also belonged to him. Peter
reproached him for lying to the Holy Spirit. Ananias
fell immediately and died. The wife also came and
repeated what her husband did and also fell down
and died. (Acts 5:1-10) Such is the Spirit that is
obtainable in this kingdom. This Spirit does not
tolerate any sinful act or evil. I do not see evil nor
hear of it. It is only you, members, who talk about
and see evil.
I HAVE BEEN TELLING YOU
REPEATEDLY THAT ALL THOSE WHO
SHOUT, STAMP THEIR FEET AND CLAP
THEIR HANDS ARE COMPLETELY DEVOID
OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND THEY ARE
MERELY DECEIVING THEMSELVES. The
situation could be compared to threatening a crying
baby with the sight of a masquerade. And so, in
82
order to stop a child from crying, the mother may
mention the coming of the masquerade. This is
exactly what is done by the world. I have nothing to
do with evil at all.
God is not a respecter of persons (Acts
10:34). He does not tell lies, He does not cheat, nor
is He corrupt. Therefore, you go into all the four
corners of the world with the teaching I have
imparted to you. There is no sickness, death and
nothing at all. Just believe in Him and obey Him for
you will have no problem at all. He rules over the
heaven, and earth. In a short while, all the security
agents like police and army will cease to exist.
Courts of law will cease to operate. What is needed
in this kingdom is oneness. A time is coming when
there shall no longer be visa and passport needed
before travelling to other countries.
If you are endowed with the Holy Spirit, you
would realize that apart from the Holy Spirit,
nothing else exists in the world at all. The garments
we wear, the food we eat and all the material things
we attach much interest to, are nothing before God.
I WOULD HAVE PROVED CHRIST WRONG
IF...
If Our Lord Jesus Christ had claimed
responsibility for anything that He did, I would
have proved Him wrong. He never said so, He never
made such claims. It is the same Spirit of God that
is responsible for everything. I also tell you that I
83
am not the one who is responsible for anything in
this kingdom. I am only a witness to everything that
is done by God.
If you are led by the Spirit of God, He will
open your eyes. Equally, I speak to you in spirit and
not in the flesh. I have nothing to do with flesh. My
concern is with love, oneness and righteousness. A
person who is devoid of the Spirit of God cannot do
any good thing. It therefore means that all those
who do evil are in the flesh and are not of the Spirit
of God. This is exactly why you do not have the
Spirit of God. This is exactly what you have to go
and preach to the world. You have seen this truth in
me.
All those who abide in the Spirit of God are
indebted to their friends, families and the people of
the world. These are the people you are charged to
preach this gospel to. Teach them this truth, the
love, oneness and equality. It is not your duty to
impute sins on any person nor to acknowledge the
existence of juju, mermaid, witchcraft or any other
evil. It is not your duty to cheat, to tell lies, to
defraud or covet. If you do so, what will be the
difference between you and the world? You should
be informed that, the Spirit of God is upon you to
preach the gospel of deliverance and freedom. Do
not oppress any person, do not cheat any, do not be
angry with your fellow man, and do not engage in
any evil. Live peaceably with your fellow man and
encourage all to grow in the spirit of God, you can
84
do this by going out to preach freedom to all. Preach
about love and unity of all, to all.
Do not you have faith in any man and do not
believe in a human being. Believe in God and have
faith in Him. He is the one who sustains us. He
feeds and protects all of us. He abides in you,
teaches you and does everything for you. Do not
cast your hope on any man or thing other than God.
Whoever has God is a free man, and has no
stumbling block on his way.
The entire world is facing difficulties
because they are without the Holy Spirit. Whoever
is devoid of the Holy Spirit is lifeless. This is why it
has become necessary for all men to seek for the
Holy Spirit and abide in Him. It is expedient for all
of you to go out and inform the people that God has
come. That since God is holy, He requires all to be
holy too.
Here in this kingdom, we are not bound by
the rules and regulations of man. We have nothing
to do with the traditions and cultures of men. The
Holy Spirit is the only teacher and provider.
THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS NO DEPUTY. We
should believe in Him and do the right thing. Once
you are fastidious, once you weep, or once you are
angry, you have made yourself unworthy and you
have also lost the kingdom of God. The Kingdom
does not admit lies, hatred, deceit, division or any
vice at all. If you obey Him you are free, and free
indeed. Believe in Him and cast all your problems
85
to Him for He cares. He knows everything and He is
the only one capable of solving your problems. Do
not contest His actions or resist His will. He
provides both the rain and sun when it becomes
necessary. He has come to dwell with man on earth.
Whoever believes in Him is saved. Whoever fails to
believe in Him should blame himself. You should
be holy as He is. IF GOD HAS SET YOU FREE,
WHO CAN ENSLAVE YOU? In this kingdom,
there is neither Jew nor Greek. You do not need to
pray to God at all. He knows your problems and
what to do.
Recently, members of Brotherhood intended
to go on pilgrimage in Biakpan. The only available
short route to the place was not accessible. The ferry
had broken down. To enable the Children of God to
travel to Biakpan as planned by God at that same
time, the Governor of Cross River State visited the
Local Government Area thus, necessitating the
rehabilitation of the ferry to carry people and also to
repair the road. Biakpan, in due season will be an
important city with a network of good roads and
also an airport with modern facilities. In spite of
this, I do not pray God for any of these things. That
would amount to foolishness and disbelief. Be
assured that He is the light of the world and also
gives life to whoever comes to Him.
The Father cannot fail to do His will at the
fullness of time. Biakpan, today is an unknown
place, an insignificant hamlet without any
86
attraction. But that will not make me to go to the
Government to plead for attention and provision of
facilities there. I know that at the fullness of time,
God will draw both the government's and some
individual's attention to the place to develop it. If
God does not do a thing, no man would. This is the
reason why it is profitable to believe in God alone.
You will live to see the place called Biakpan. It will
be a city all the inhabitants of the world would long
to live in.
If you were to know the God you worship,
you would not have worried yourself for anything.
Your problems are brought about through your
ignorance of the one you worship. He is not
somebody you should toy with. He is the true God
and the Creator of heaven and earth.
Read the golden text again.
GOLDEN TEXT: ROMANS 1:14
"I am debtor both to the Greeks and to the
Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise."
THE REIGN OF TRUTH:
Do you understand the language therein?
Many people are curious to know the latest from the
Father. It is expedient that you should take these
glad tidings to the world. Go and tell them about the
love, oneness, truth and patience exhibited by the
Father in the kingdom. Tell the people that the truth
87
has come and so they should refrain from idolatry,
medication, fornication, hatred, tribalism and other
vices. Whether the world listens to this message or
not, it should not deter you from spreading the good
news. You should continue to preach to them. You
have been asked to do your own part of the duty,
and allow God to do His. That is your indebtedness
to the world.
It is about 2,000 years now since our Lord
Jesus Christ physically departed this world. Is it not
foolish for people to continue to gaze into the sky
expecting His arrival from the sky? When Elijah
had ascended into the heaven, it did not take a
longtime before John the Baptist emerged. People
keep on coming and going away.
THE RETURN OF CHRIST
Therefore, there are many who do not
believe in reincarnation. But our Lord Jesus Christ
assured that He would go away but would come
back to take you to Himself. Is He not here with
men on earth now? Is He not the one responsible for
every work in this kingdom? Why then are people
expecting Him to fly down from the sky? He said
that it was the Father who sent Him, and to Him
(the Father) was He going (John 16:28). Now,
where does God Himself go? On another occasion,
He declared that He and His Father are one (John
10:30). The Father is a Spirit, and Christ Himself
is a Spirit and both of them are The Word. They
88
are the truth, and had never left any man
comfortless. They abide in us always. I spend
endless hours preaching to you so that you may
understand. Today, you still doubt Him and you are
ignorant of His ability. You are still telling lies,
getting angry, stealing and killing one another. This
is the time for all men to practice the word of
God.
For those of you who are proud because
your parents are in the world, you should by now
realize that you are holding a false belief. When you
claim that a person is dead, you should know that
that is when his spirit changes its abode and is later
born into the world. This fact has been variously
proved in many communities and cities. For
instance, certain people who had scalding marks on
their bodies were later born with such marks to
prove to the world that they have reincarnated.
Many of you have reincarnated up to five times or
more.
Some of you will weep and refuse to be
consoled when your dear ones depart the old flesh.
Sometimes you want to kill yourself in order to join
them in the Hades. What do you mean by Hades?
Where is such a place located? I have told you time
without number that there is nothing called death.
We are still the same old people reincarnated. What
normally takes place is the destruction of the defiled
body and the introduction of the Spirit into a new
self, another abode. It is a complete change of the
89
person into a new being. That phenomenon you call
sickness is not what you term it; rather, it is a
medium through which your body undergoes
reconstruction.
THERE IS NO DEATH
You will seem to be in the know about any
hidden thing of this world. A sister once testified
here that she was married at Ika-Annang and had
three children. She had a prayer house and was well
vested with power, and she was also a talented
midwife. Having done this for a long time, the
village demanded that she should give them a goat
and other things and she refused. And consequently
on this, she was transferred to the great beyond.
After sometime she was born at Uruan in Uyo to
another person. She grew up and was married again.
She gave birth to six children. At Uruan, she had a
vision that she was formerly married at Ika-Annang
to Etim Ekpo, and that her three children are still
there, alive, though they are grown up and have
grown up children themselves. She visited Ika-
Annang and saw her children, and was able to
recognize her house and the compound and the tree
she had planted before she died.
When Our Lord Jesus Christ whipped the
people out of the temple, and told them that His
Father's house should not be used as a market, they
questioned Him about the signs to prove that He is
the Son of God. In reply, Christ asked them to pull
90
down the temple and that within three days, He
would rebuild it. The people did not understand
Him. He was merely referring to Himself, that He
would die and resurrect on the third day to live
thereafter forever. He is a Spirit and lives eternally.
He lives on and continues to interact with men.
This is to prove to you that there is no
death. What you call death is a mere transfer to
a new body. This transfer does not take you out
of this world, you still stay and belong here, the
market, school, churches you go to are not attended
by you alone, others whom you regard as having
died do attend these places too. If a man is
transferred to another body, the former body is
buried. That which you originally had was the dust
of the earth and it will definitely return to this earth
and become manure, while the soul remains the
same. Dust goes back to dust while the Spirit
remains the Spirit
At times, you complain why a woman does
not give birth to a child. This is so because the spirit
is yet to go into her. The moment the spirit, is
transferred into her, she will immediately become
pregnant and eventually give birth to a baby.
Without these transfers, there would be no
child bearing in the world. There are very many
things you have misinterpreted in the world. The
things you sow need manure to grow, and without
these things growing and becoming manure once
again for other plants to grow, there would be no
91
food.
There is nothing in this world. God is
everything. You may say you have no brother, He
will come into you and dwell therein, and become
everything for you.
Do not boast about what you have, and do not have
hope in another person. Do not say somebody loves
you because only God loves you. It baffles me what
you term man to be. Man is nothing, why then do
you despise God, and believe and have hope in man.
You cannot help yourself except God helps THE GREATEST
you. God has promised never to leave you
comfortless, and had not left you comfortless.
AMONG MEN IS A
A stroke of the cane is enough for the wise. May SERVANT
God bless His Holy teachings, Amen.
THANK YOU FATHER.

FIRST BIBLE LESSON: MATTHEW 20:26

"But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever

will be great among you, let him be your
minister."

SECOND BIBLE LESSON: MATTHEW 23:11

"But he that is greatest among you shall be
your servant."

GOLDEN TEXT: MATTHEW 7:12

"Therefore all things whatsoever ye would
that men should do to you, do ye even so to them:

92 93
for this is the law and the prophets."
Brethren, that is the teaching of Our Lord Jesus
Christ. It is not enough to shout, "Jesus, Jesus" only. We
have to practice His teachings. All those who are taking
leadership positions but they do not stand by the
teachings of Our Lord Jesus Christ owe the Father,
the Son and the Holy Spirit. But all those who go by
the teachings of Our Lord Jesus Christ, have both the
Father and the Son. This is how we open this assembly of
ours.
Then we ask, "What are the teachings of Our
Lord Jesus Christ that we should live by, in order to
have the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit?"
From Friday, Saturday and till today, I have
shown you the nature of His teachings, and I have also
told you that His teachings have neither a beginning nor
an end, because He said,"I am the way, the truth, and
the life: nobody can see the Father unless he passes
through me." (John 14:6) Now, who is he that passes
through Our Lord Jesus Christ, except the one who
abides by His teachings.
“Christ is the way, the truth, and the life,” can
be interpreted that if you practice His teachings, you
have the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Right
from the beginning of the world, from the time of Adam
and Eve, His teachings have always existed. Before the
foundation of the world, His teachings, taught to the
angels and His other creations, have been in existence.
HE TOLD ADAM TO BE ATTENTIVE TO, AND TO
TAKE ALL HIS LESSONS FROM HIM ONLY,
BECAUSE HE ALONE WOULD TEACH HIM ALL
94
THE THINGS HE REQUIRED TO KNOW. It was due
to listening to Lucifer that he fell, and he was driven out
from this Christ's Universal School. This is the
reason it is now being re-emphasized that he who
assumes leadership position, but does not abide by the
teachings of Our Lord Jesus Christ, has not the Father,
the Son, and the Holy Ghost. This is so because when
Adam was enjoined by the Father God to eat of all the
fruits of the trees in the garden except the one forbidden
tree, if he had obeyed that order, he would have had the
Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. If he had stuck to
Christ's teachings that he should not receive any advice
or teaching, or orders from any angel, or man, things
would not have been like that with Adam. Adam and Eve
failed because they had not the Father, the Son and the
Holy Spirit. Since this is the position, who will be the
leader, since the blind cannot lead the blind? Brethren,
the trouble of the world rests on this, and started from
there.
CHRIST'S UNIVERSAL SPIRITUAL SCHOOL OF
PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY IN DIFFERENT
STAGES:
It was because He is God of love and of mercy
that He started His teachings again, and required Cain
and Abel to offer Him sacrifices. Cain was a farmer
while Abel was a shepherd. This was His elementary
teaching which started again with His creation. Not that
He wanted these material things as such, it is only a
metaphor for teaching in the Universal School. Abel
made use of the fattest sheep, and offered it unto God as
a sacrifice. This is the elementary school; and Abel in
his action for sacrificing unto God the best of his
95
offering, passed the test.
On the other hand Cain said that God wanted
nothing but the heart, and he went and made use of dead
yam tubers as an offering unto God. Do you now see
how this school is? This is the reason I tell you that all
these churches in the world belong to Christ. But
though all these churches belong to Christ, they are in
degrees and at different stages. Right from learning
through juju as you find people practise, they are all parts
of this same Christ's Universal School of Love.
However, this is not what we want to delve into today,
but to examine the advice and teachings which come to
us from the mouth of God our Father, which if one obeys,
one has the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
YOU WILL SEE ONE CHURCH DRINKING
WINE, THE OTHER SMOKING. IT ALL MEANS
THAT THE ABILITY TO GROW BEYOND THAT
LEVEL HAS NOT YET REACHED THEM
BECAUSE THEY ARE STILL IN THE
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, IN THE
RUDIMENTARY TEACHINGS. THEY ARE STILL
PART OF THE UNIVERSAL SCHOOL WHICH
ADVICES ONE TO GIVE WINE TO THE SICK, THE
SAD, THOSE IN MISERY AND THOSE ABOUT TO
DIE. If you see where people take medicine or take
purgative, it is still part of the same universal school,
because if you go to this elementary school you will see
infants using sticks to calculate and they are taught by
singing and dancing methods, and they will be engaged
in clapping and dancing, and physical objects will be
used in teaching them because of their stage of
development. This is because they are babies or infants.
Do not be offended when you hear the churches now say,
96
"Praise the Lord" with tambourines and cymbals, because
they are at the level of elementary schools.
METHOD OF BAPTISM OF THE PATRIARCHS:
You should understand this. At the time of
Abraham, circumcision was the baptism, and whoever
was circumcised was acknowledged as the real child of
God. Then there came the time of Moses and the
offering of a male child at the temple before the altar
with two young pigeons. All those teachings came from
this same universal school of love, and from the same
God but we are not now in that stage or level of school.
At the time of John the Baptist, immersing a would-be
child of God in water became baptism. This was
another stage and another form of baptism. He also
started teaching people to repent, forsake sin, and to
fast and pray. This was a more elevated school than
those of Abraham and Moses. This is so in order that
you may see the way, how Christ's Universal School of
Love is, and since the beginning of time till now, the
whole world is in this one Christ's Universal
School.
ADVANCED BAPTISM AS INTRODUCED BY THE
DISCIPLES OF CHRIST:
Then came a much higher teaching than the ones
cited above. At the time of Christ, He instituted
baptism of forgiveness of sin because until that time
no sin was forgiven. This is the reason He said to the
people at that time: "I have many thing to tell you but
you are not able to receive them now."(John 16:12) And
why? Because the baptism of the Holy Spirit had not yet
come. Also because so long as the Father had not come,
97
they could not reach the knowledge of the truth. Our
Lord Jesus Christ knew that he could not take them or
lead them to the knowledge of truth, since they had not
yet received the Holy Spirit, because of human weakness
and frailty.
Christ knew that people were not ready for
advanced teachings since they were all in elementary
classes- Infant Class A, or Infant Class B; and He had not
shed His blood, hence He did not introduce the teachings
meant for the university level.(John 16:13)
THE ELEMENTARY TEACHINGS OF CHRIST FOR
BEGINNERS:
Take for instance, when Our Lord Jesus Christ
told His disciples that whosoever divorced his wife
committed adultery, and whosoever married the divorced
woman also committed adultery, His disciples were
about to run away, but He told them not to do so, and He
also made their hearts light by telling them to stay on, for
that teaching was not meant for everybody, but for those
whom the Father gives the ability to receive. They had
murmured among themselves despairingly saying: "If
this be so, then it is not good to marry." And they all
wanted to run away.(John 6:67).
Now, Brethren, you will see that the early
teachings of Our Lord Jesus Christ were elementary or
rudimentary teachings for beginners.
You are all witnesses that when formal education
started newly in Nigeria and in many parts of Africa,
people were hunted for, and caught, then they were
begged to go to school; and at school they were educated
98
free, and were also fed and clothed gratis. There were no
school fees; and as soon as one attained and passed
standard two, at that time, he would be appointed as a
headmaster. But things were not meant to continue like
that, and that was not the aim and purpose of the people
who brought education here. They had a greater
objective here. They had greater aims and plans than
they had shown initially.
At that time, people like the police, teachers,
officers of government, got into big positions with the
least or no qualifications; and does it mean that their
plans and aims were short and shallow as that? It was
only the beginning - the elementary stage.
At that time, people got into big jobs with all
ease, with the least qualification, or none at all, because
people with the qualifications required for such posts
were not found. The early teachings of Christ can best be
seen, and likened to this early colonial situation and days.
At the beginning of Christ's teachings, once a person
confessed that he believed in Christ, he was accepted
as a child of God, not minding whether a person
continued in idolatry, stealing, fornication or any
other sin. This is the reason why people say they stand
by the rudimentary and elementary teachings of Christ,
and that they are waiting for the Lord Jesus Christ. But I
now tell you that the time for elementary teaching is past.
People forget that our Lord Jesus Christ had promised
that heaven and earth will pass away but the words right
from Genesis to Revelation shall not pass away until all
be fulfilled.
THE WORLDLY MINISTER CANNOT COME TO
BROTHERHOOD BECAUSE HE IS IN THE
99
ELEMENTARY TEACHING OF CHRIST:
Many people feel that to practise Christ's
teachings is to use the Holy Bible as their pillow, or to
read psalms, ring bells, and wear long flowing garments
with fantastic caps so that once they are seen by the
people they will be recognized as people of God.
OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WAS A WITNESS TO
THE STATEMENT THAT WHEN THE
COMFORTER COMES HE WILL LEAD YOU TO
THE KNOWLEDGE OF TRUTH. (John 15:26).
NOW THAT THE COMFORTER HAS COME, WE
CALL THIS SCHOOL A UNIVERSITY BECAUSE
WE ARE NO MORE IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
SOMETIMES A BROTHERHOOD MEMBER
LEAVES FOR ANOTHER CHURCH
DENOMINATION. YES, IT IS A FACT BECAUSE HE
HAD NEVER COMPLETED THE ELEMENTARY
SCHOOL, AND AS SUCH HE HAS TO GO BACK
AND COMPLETE HIS COURSE IN ELEMENTARY
SCHOOL. THIS IS THE REASON WHY MANY
PEOPLE WITH TITLES LIKE: REVEREND, BISHOP
AND OTHER STANDING MEMBERS OF OTHER
CHURCHES CANNOT COME TO BROTHERHOOD
BECAUSE THEY CANNOT RECEIVE THE
UNIVERSITY EDUCATION WITHOUT
DIFFICULTY.
The scripture says that men of this world marry
and are given in marriage, but those who would inherit
this kingdom do not marry, nor are they given in
marriage, because they are like the angels, and would not
die for they are the children of God.(Luke 20:34-36).
But today, marriage is highly esteemed in the whole
world. In many churches of Christendom, one's claim is:
100
"After all I am married in the church." In many churches
too, when one is dead, the coffin is placed before their
altar, accompanied by the ringing of heavy sounding
bells. These are the only happiness people derive from
attending various churches, and these churches continue
doing this in earnest because once they stop announcing
to people the death of their members in that manner,
these churches would lose their members.
From all these practices, you will now see why
many people leave their various denominations, and
come to this university (Brotherhood of the Cross and
Star) because they have already passed through
elementary school, and they have to attain a higher
learning. When you see mass movement, you need not
quarrel because one has to go from one class to the other
until one attains that knowledge of truth.
THE INTRODUCTION OF THE ARK OF COVENANT
BY MOSES IN ALL CHURCHES OF
CHRISTENDOM:
In the days of Abraham, when there was no
church, God was named after Abraham because in those
days it was he alone who served God. Similarly at the
time of Isaac, Abraham's son, God was called God of
Isaac, because Isaac served the same God. In the time of
Jacob, God was called God of Jacob because Jacob alone
served God. When Jacob carved out Israel, it was the
God of Israel. There was no particular building called
the house of God or church because you all are God's
own house, and He dwells in you.
The introduction of the Ark of Covenant by
Moses is the bone of contention in all churches of
Christendom and other places of worship all over the
101
world. This ark of covenant consisted of incense,
candle and the rest of the things, and it was regarded
as sacred. In the days of David, a place was specifically
provided for this ark of covenant, and it was worshipped.
This is the reason why today, when you visit any
shrine to advise the juju priest and the priestesses to take
to the worship of God, he or she vows never to forsake
that system of worship, claiming that it was God who
gave the system to Moses. Even in many churches today,
this ark of covenant is fixed to the altar. The system of
worship in the days of Moses and David was so
absurd that it could hardly encourage anyone to
worship God today. It is this very system of worship
that all churches and other organizations adopt, forgetting
that at the time it was constituted, Our Lord Jesus Christ
had not shed His precious blood. All these practices
neither lead us to salvation nor to the knowledge of truth.
The scriptures in Hebrews chapter 9 confirm this.
Now Brethren, we have this problem because it is
easier to destroy than to build. I say this so that it should
not bother you when you see people who commit
fornication or practise any manner of evil because such
persons are in the elementary school of Christ.
When a child is born he has to be cared for, in all
aspects of life, until he is able to fend for himself. So also
are all manners of worship all over the world. But know
that none of these modes of worship does us any good, or
can lead us to the knowledge of truth.
FIRST BIBLE LESSON: MATTHEW 20:26
"But it shall not be so among you: but
102
whosoever will be great among you, let him be your
minister."
CHRIST REBUKED THE ADOPTION OF THE
WORLDLY ADMINISTRATIONS:
When Christ's disciples grumbled among
themselves as to who would be the greatest with regards
to the time one starts one's ministry, saying:"I was first,"
Christ replied that the princes of this world suppress
people and deny them their rights but that is not the case
with those who worship God.
You can see that in other churches it is the elders and
bishops of the church who know the secrets of the church
and they are catered for. But here in this new kingdom,
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, it is not so. Instead,
all the so-called big people have to serve the new
converts and the so-called small people.
In other Churches, elders kneel down before
speaking to the bishops, and the communicants cannot
for anything's sake, speak before the reverend. This is
blasphemy in Brotherhood.
THE RECOGNITION OF WORLDLY TITLES IS NOT
REQUIRED IN BROTHERHOOD:
Now all those who want to be the greatest in
this kingdom have to serve others.
The claim to superiority extends even to the
government departments, clans and families where the
so-called big men remain to be served all the days of
their lives. HERE WE PRACTISE NOTHING BUT
THE TEACHINGS OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST,
unlike in other churches and other places all over the
world. Now the whole world refers to Brotherhood as a
103
place for little children, destitute, and the afflicted,
because everybody is treated equally in all aspects of life,
regardless of status. The educated or illiterate, head of
state or laborer has no special treatment nor hold any
recognition. Your family members would not like to
come to Brotherhood because during any celebration
whereby an animal, say a cow, is slaughtered, the
younger members would be denied the meat, for the
elders would say that they are to eat the meat by
themselves because in the days of their fathers, they were
so treated, and so only the chiefs and elders would share
the meat.
Our Lord Jesus Christ assured His disciples that
such practices by the superiors cannot continue in this
new kingdom of God.(Matt 18:1-4). Do you not see that
whenever you visit any of these distinguished men of the
world, they would ask,"What have you brought for me?"
For years gone by, these people have been there receiving
gifts but cannot give out gifts to others.
Many vow never to go to Brotherhood because as
they are in the worldly organizations and churches, they
are served according to merit, singly and in big ways.
Even during celebrations, these dignitaries would sit
comfortably, enjoying merriment of any kind while
others would remain as onlookers. HERE IN THIS
NEW KINGDOM HE WHO WANTS TO BE
GREATEST IS HE WHO SERVES, AND THIS IS
THE TEACHING OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.
THE ORDAINED ONES ARE DISAPPOINTED:
To become a big man in Brotherhood is not by
appointment; and big men have no special seats. He who
is greater ought to serve others, be kind and helpful to
104
humanity; sweep the floor, dust the benches, which is the
teaching of Our Lord Jesus Christ. These prophets and
bishops here are very much disappointed as they
imagined Brotherhood to be like the church
denominations where people struggle for positions. But
this type of behavior is not recognized here in
Brotherhood because with all your wealth and worldly
attainments, you have to serve others.
This is exactly what happened in the days of old,
when Studentship was introduced in Brotherhood. At that
time, the Prophets mused and said,"What do these
children want here?" When these Students heard the
teachings of Our Lord Jesus Christ that they should go to
members houses, and assist them with cooking and
laundry work, the Students became sad because they felt
they were supposed to lord it over others, and they said
that they were not coming to do such menial jobs. Today,
these Students grumble that they are not recognized. But
how could the Students be recognized when they do not
want to serve others as taught by Our Lord Jesus Christ?
To this end, the Prophets and the Students
blasphemed against God because they all came with the
hope of lording it over others. But instead, they were
given the teachings of Our Lord Jesus Christ which says
that everyone is recognized by his work. Therefore, if
you sit down claiming that as a senior person in
Brotherhood, you should be served instead of serving,
you are lost. Your claim as the eldest pastor is not
recognized in this new kingdom.
RESERVED SEAT?
There are reserved seats in all churches, government
departments, societies, families, and institutions of
105
learning all over the world, for important visitors; but
there is none here in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star.
In other places, churches, societies and the rest of them,
you often hear ushers ordering the commoners to vacate
certain seats. Such practices are not accepted here in
Brotherhood because rank, position, wealth and other
qualifications are not recognized here. IF YOU WANT
YOUR RANK AND QUALIFICATION TO BE
RECOGNIZED, SERVE HUMANITY AND BE
HUMBLE, ABIDING BY THE TEACHINGS OF OUR
LORD JESUS CHRIST.
THE SYSTEM OF ADMINISTRATION IN THE NEW
KINGDOM OF GOD:
People wonder how lawyers, doctors and all
intellectuals in Brotherhood associate with the sick, the
poor, and the children, and do everything in common.
They even go on ten-toes because of the same teachings
of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Should you fail to practice this
equality because of your worldly attainment, I tell you
that you have no record in this kingdom. Do you know
that eye service is the greatest offence before God?
Should you offer a seat to a wealthy person and
despise the poor, understand that you have deviated
from the teachings of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Christ's teachings reveal to us that we are one in
Christ. Therefore if you want to be great, serve people,
visit them, be kind to them, sweep their houses, wash and
iron their clothes. Even if you built a cathedral for God,
you still have to serve others in order to be great. You
have to use your wealth to serve God as a separate
assignment because it is said that to whom much is given
much is expected of him,(Luke 12:48). But that does not
106
stop you from cleaning the chairs, sweeping the floor and
serving others. Of all the institutions - churches, villages,
societies, government - who call on the name of Our
Lord Jesus Christ -"JESUS! JESUS!" which among them
has practiced the teachings of Our Lord Jesus Christ that
he who wants to be great should serve others?
CHRIST said that not all who call Him LORD!
LORD! will enter into the kingdom of God, but those
who do His Father's will.(Matt 7:21). Who are those
who do His Father's will? THOSE ARE THE ONES
WHO ARE WILLING TO SERVE HUMANITY,
SUCH, ARE THOSE WHO DO HIS FATHER'S WILL.
Let us hear our Second Bible Lesson.
SECOND BIBLE LESSON: MATTHEW 23:11
"But he that is greatest among you shall be
your servant."
THE GREATEST AMONG MEN IS A SERVANT:
This confirms the teaching that he who is greatest
should serve others. But in your various homes, you
allow your servants to serve you always. Some would
shout at the top of their voices :"Anne, Ojo, Arit, have
you done this or that?" By so doing you relinquish your
position to those maids of yours because a servant is
greater than him who is served. Do you not know that
as the head of the house, you have to serve the rest by
sweeping the house, cooking and running errands for
yourself and all members of the family? Whether you
are a Bishop, Reverend, or leader of a church, your duty
is to minister unto your members, be kind to them, and
107
visit them whenever they are sick. You should clothe
and feed them. You should see about the welfare of their
pastors, bishops, reverend fathers, and their leaders.
These personalities are not good Christians because they
do not abide by the teachings of Our Lord Jesus Christ
Even if you are the head of state, governor,
permanent secretary or a professor, you should serve all
those working under you; otherwise you are not worthy
of your post. Those of you aspiring to hold responsible
posts, be ready to administer unto your subjects,
followers, and subordinates so that you will attain the
desired posts.
A wife who does not serve the husband as she
should is not a good wife. A child who cannot serve the
parents as he ought to is not worthy to be a child.
Don't you know that ministers as we have in the
churches and government departments are expected to be
servants and messengers? Why then do you not serve
others as your ranks imply? You have to quit the post if
you cannot live up to expectations of the job.
Should the entire world abide by the teaching
of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and should all the
personalities of this world be willing to serve others,
how peaceful would the world be! God has never
ordained that one should be given an honorable position
and be served by others throughout one's life. God
Himself has never required such honour from you. He
and His Christ work all the time. (John 5:7). If one does
not claim authority, it is well and good. But whatever you
claim to be, be prepared to serve others. There is none
who does not aspire to be great, but all you have to do
when you become great is to serve all
humanity.
108
ALL ASPIRING LEADERS MUST SERVE OTHERS:
Look around the government departments and
other big establishments and you will observe that senior
officers do practically nothing, except to roam around for
pleasure while the junior staff members suffer. Going
into the churches, you will find pastors and bishops
relaxing but appointing other people to act on their
behalf, even during communion services. How would
you respond to such churches and government
departments. All aspiring leaders and the personalities in
the churches and other places all over the world, who do
not abide by the teachings of Our Lord Jesus Christ, have
not got the Father and the Son, but those leaders in the
churches and other places all over the world who
abide by His teachings have both the Father and the
Son.
Don't you see that Our Lord Jesus Christ did not
only teach but He also showed by practical
example?(John 13:5-15) Hence it was said that Our Lord
Jesus Christ came into this world not to be served but to
serve. Now that you desire to be served, who is the one
you created specially to serve you here on earth? You
claim to be the head of the family, a government
department, who is he that ordained you to be what you
are? OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WARNED THAT
NOBODY SHOULD BE CALLED A TEACHER,
EXCEPT HE, FOR WE ARE ALL BRETHREN, AND
NO PERSON SHOULD BE CALLED "FATHER," FOR
GOD ALONE IS THE FATHER OF ALL; AND NONE
SHOULD BE CALLED “LORD” EXCEPT ONE, OUR
LORD JESUS CHRIST.(Matt 23:8-9).
Now you say,"I am not a Brotherhood member,"
109
what are you? Our Lord Jesus Christ in His Teachings
says we all are of Brotherhood, or are you a Father or
Lord? If you are not a Brotherhood, I am a Brotherhood.
The teachings of Our Lord Jesus Christ say: "LOVE THE
BROTHERHOOD." (1 Pet 2:17). Let us hear our
Golden Text.
GOLDEN TEXT: MATTHEW 7:12
"Therefore all things whatsoever ye would
that men should do to you, do ye even so to them:
for this is the law and the prophets."
GOD HELPS THOSE WHO HELP THEMSELVES:
What is the meaning of: "Heaven helps those
who help themselves?" It does not mean to look for juju
prevention of any sort, but that whatever you want
others to do for you, you should do same unto them.
People serve in order to be served. Therefore, if you
want people to love you, you must love others. If you
want people to visit you, visit others. If you want to be
trusted, trust others. If you want people to be honest to
you, do the same to them. People serve in order to be
served. Therefore, your humility, visiting the bereaved,
and the several works of mercy, are done in order that
others would do the same to you.
THE LAW OF RETRIBUTIVE JUSTICE:
The ministers administer unto people so that they
would be administered unto. Whatsoever that you want
others to do for you, do also unto them. If you remain
idle, hoping that God would meet with all your
requirements you will be disappointed. If you feel that
once you become wealthy that you would be
110
recognized and loved, I assure you that you and your
wealth would be disappointed, unless you love people,
respect them, greet them and visit them, none would
do the same to you.
Do you disregard others and hate people or treat
them badly simply because you are a chief or head of a
clan? Sometimes you lament that people do not even pay
you your due; I say,"Search yourself," whether you love
others.
Some of you may say, "After all I fear nobody, I
respect nobody but God." But understand that nobody in
this life, even the lizard or an ant, would respect you.
Some say that they cannot listen to anybody's advice
except that of God, but do you not know that nobody on
earth would listen to you? You keep on praying to God
that people should be kind to you and love you, but if you
are not kind to others and love others, nobody would do
these things to you either, for it was written:"Blessed are
the merciful for they shall obtain mercy." (Matt 5:7).
CHILDREN OF RICH MEN ARE NEVER
COMMENDED:
It is a well-known fact that children of the rich
men never do well. How would they, when right from
birth there is someone to wash their legs and another one
to wash their hands?
They are trained at nursery schools. They put on
costly shoes, eat decent food, and they are driven around
in posh cars. A poor child in a local primary school who
cannot even afford a term's school fees, wearing some
tattered clothes would finally make a name because of
the sufferings he went through. That is why Our Lord
Jesus Christ said:"Should Christ not suffer so that He
111
might pass into His glory?"(Luke 24:26). Many of us do
not associate with, nor visit our fellow brethren, but we
expect others to come to us when there is need. One often
hears the announcement,"Brethren come to feast in my house."
GOD IS NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS:
Understand that God is no respecter of persons,
for whatsoever a man sows the same he shall reap.(Gal
6:7). If you are not respected by your children or wife,
know that you do not respect yourself. This is so because
whatsoever you sow is what you will reap. All the
instructions are that you should love and be kind to
people, and tell the truth. These are all for your own
good; and this is the meaning of heaven helps those
who help themselves. When you deviate from these
teachings you will remain disappointed all the days of
your life.
TURN A NEW LEAF:
You should now turn a new leaf. Love those
who hate you, go on ministry, administer unto people, be
kind to others, be truthful, be humble, and at the end you
will behold God's glory. Some of you claim that people
do not like Brotherhood. But I say that you are those who
do not love the churches and everybody who is not a
member of Brotherhood.
Most of you, before you came into Brotherhood
belonged to other denominations and others came from
families worshipping in juju shrines. Today why do you
pray that fire should consume their shrines, or why do
you tell the reverend father that he is condemned, or that
he has not yet seen the light? This is not the correct way
of approaching those who do not understand
112
Brotherhood. You will often hear people say that the
leader of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star practices the
gospel, but it is the members who behave otherwise. For
me, I preach about nobody. I preach about no church. I
preach about no government. BUT I SAY THAT THOSE
WHO HAVE EARS TO HEAR SHOULD HEAR. IF
YOU DO NOT HEAR, THEN I LEAVE YOU ALONE.
THE MISSION OF LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA
OBU ON EARTH:
I DO NOT ESTABLISH A CHURCH. I DO
NOT ESTABLISH A SERVICE CENTER; NOR DO I
ESTABLISH A HEALING HOME, NOR A PRAYER
HOUSE, NOR A HOSPITAL, BUT I IMPART THE
SECRET TEACHINGS OF OUR LORD JESUS
CHRIST. Look around you, and you will find that all
the government departments, societies, churches the
world over, have deviated from the teachings of Our Lord
Jesus Christ. NOW THE FATHER, THE SON,
AND THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS COME, YOU
SHOULD THEREFORE RETURN TO YOUR GOD;
FOR HE IS WAITING TO RECEIVE YOU WITH
OPEN ARMS. MY UTTERMOST HAPPINESS IS
THAT PEOPLE, ALL OVER THE WORLD, DO
REJOICE IN OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.
THE CAUSE OF DISAPPOINTMENT IN MARRIAGE:
If you want your children to respect and serve
you, respect and serve them. God made a man and a
woman to become one, why do you leave your wife and
fornicate outside? The wife also on the other hand,
prostitutes outside, because both of them do not have the
fear of God in them, and as they do not respect
113
themselves, they cannot be respected by anybody.
One often hears the husband instructing the wife
that she is a wife, and that the house belongs to him, and
as such, he must do as he pleases; and the wife says the
same to the husband. Know that the very day you bring a
little girl into the house in the name of a helper, her love
for you is completely dead. Any time a man knows that
his wife has another man outside the house, his love for
her is dead, and the existence of the wife in the family is
insignificant. Some of you lament that there is no respect
of any kind for you from your husband or wife, and vice
versa, but you fail to know that you did not respect
yourself. If you do not want your wife to misbehave, do
not misbehave; and if you do not want any other man to
have an affair with your wife then never have an affair
with another person's wife.
This is the trouble of the world; and whatever
you want others to do unto you, do the same to them, for
this is the law.
Brethren, I do not intend to be tedious with you.
Those who have ears to hear, let them hear. May God
bless His Holy Words. Amen.
THANK YOU FATHER.
THE COMFORTER HAS
114
COME
First Bible Lesson: John 6:45
"It is written in the prophets, And they shall
be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath
heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto
me."
Second 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."
Golden Text: Revelation 7:17
"For the Lamb which is in the midst of the
throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto
living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe
away all tears from their eyes."
Brethren, this is the revelation of our lesson. This
will help you to understand the events of things on earth
today. What is happening today on earth is a
fulfillment of Bible Prophecy.
115
 It is so stated, even in the Prophets, that you
would all be taught by Jehovah God. If God does not
teach you about Himself, or reveal Himself to you, you
would not know Him nor understand Him. Your
problems emanate from rejecting the teachings of God,
and relying on the quest for material things. Because of
your interest is in money and material wealth, many
people refuse to come to this Institute of Higher Learning
to know about God, and to be taught by God.
FULFILLMENT OF BIBLE PROPHECY:
Today, in this generation, what was written
aforetime has come to be fulfilled. God has come to teach
you ALL things. God has not come to pray for you, nor
give you money, nor material things, no, rather. He has
come to teach you and to lead you to the accurate
knowledge of ALL Truth and to lead you to spiritual
maturity.
HUMAN TRAINING COMPARED WITH GOD’S
TEACHING PROGRAM:
You are witnesses that teaching is a basic
requirement. This at all times starts from infancy. When
a child is born, the child will be taught how to sit, crawl
and how to stand, and then, how to walk. Many families
do provide a rolling wheel to help their children move.
The child then is taught how to utter sounds. Thereafter,
other teachings will follow as months and years pass by.
This child will be taught good manners and behaviour.
How he must conduct himself or herself in and out of the
family. You can see that these methods of teaching and
training take effort and time. Now as the child
116
progresses, he may now be sent to Nursery School, to
Primary School, to Post-Secondary School, then to the
University. Some of the teachings that this child will
receive in this School may be exactly what he was taught
while very young in the family. For him to graduate and
qualify, he must undergo a study of them once more.
This is why it is said, "As to learning, there shall be no
end."
Take for example, in a field of learning, like
medicine, where Specialists are required, you may obtain
your doctorate degree, but you must undergo another
Study in order to be a Specialist in a certain aspect of
medicine. In the Universities, we have many faculties of
learning and many departments of Studies - but the same
teaching program. We have Lecturers on special subjects,
Professions and Trades. You as a Student must be taught
in order to qualify. At last, where do these teachings lead
you? The Scriptures did not say that, man will teach his
fellow man; rather, that Jehovah God will teach you all
things. Apart from this, you may be so educated and still
you want to be initiated into any of these so-called secret
societies: if you are not taught the preliminaries of that
Society and you seem to have some understanding, you
will not be initiated. So also in any cult in this world, you
must be taught by a fellow man before you are initiated
in it, irrespective of your status in life and academic
qualification and experience in life.
You must understand that all that you have learned
and have been taught are all about the Prince of this
World. It is all demonic, earthly and death-dealing. It is
contrary to God’s teaching program and His purpose. To
this effect, I have every right to denounce any standard of
117
academic qualification that one may have obtained in this
world, because it is not from God (the only authorized
Tutor).
Take a look at the Book of Isaiah. Chapter two,
reading from verse two: "And it must occur in the final
part of the days that the mountain of the house of
Jehovah will become firmly established above the top of
the mountains, and it will certainly be lifted up above the
hills, and to it all nations must stream. And many people
will certainly go and say: Come you people, and let us go
up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God
of Jacob; and He will teach us of His ways, and we will
walk in His paths." This is the house of the God of Jacob
in which you have been called to be taught by God
Himself.
Here on this Great Mountain like an Institute of
Higher Learning, you are not taught about any other
person than God. You are taught exclusively about His
paths and will, and also what to do to gain salvation.
Brethren, if the world were to know of the scheme of
God's teachings, and have the insight of the perpetual
benefits, they would have made use of this golden
opportunity. Here we are concerned with godly virtues
that provide complete spiritual and physical
liberation to all successful students of God.
What is happening now is exactly what happened
during Christ's ministry. At a marriage feast in Canaan
when there was shortage of wine, Christ turned water into
wine. When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that
was made into wine, he said: "Every man brings forth
good wine at the beginning and when people have well
118
drunk then that which is worse; but you have kept back
this good wine until now." (John 2:10)
This miracle of wine was metaphoric. Today, in
this final part of the days, we have the meaning of the
old wine which typifies the worldly wisdom, no matter
what level or status. This wisdom that you have
accumulated has rendered you unreceptive to God's way
of teaching.
Look at Christendom churches today. They are
filled with members. These individuals have been
indoctrinated right from their youth, so that no one can
convince them with any other teachings. Many of you
belonged to these churches. After such people have been
so drunk with these fables and doctrines of demons, now
comes the new teachings in Brotherhood of the Cross and
Star. Incidentally, like a person who has been filled with
old wine, and has no more room for the new wine, they
term this, a new church with New Teachings. Some who
have tasted the teachings to be truth, wonder, like the
Ruler of the marriage feast in Christ's parable, "Why was
this church not existing a long time ago?" There is no
point lying against the truth. It is the fulfillment of Bible
Prophecy in our time.
THE HOLY SPIRIT MANNER OF TEACHING:
Here you are told not to put on shoes, not to dress
as the worldly people do. Principles based on God's
Word are brought to light. Definitely, with the old
doctrines in you, figuratively as old wine, you cannot
119
take in the new truth. You cannot put the new truth to
harmonize with the old. No! For, Christ in another
parable said: "No man sews a patch of unshrunk cloth
upon an old outer garment; if he does, it's full strength
pulls from it, (the new from the old), and the tear
becomes worse. Also, nobody puts new wine into old
wineskin, if he does, the wine bursts the skins, and the
wine is lost as well as the skins. But, people put new
wine into new wineskin." Of course Christ also said, "No
man also, having drunk old wine wants the new wine; for
he says, the old is nice."(Luke 5:36-39)
Has this not been true today? What has been the
reactions of the so-called learned men and the so-called
religionists of Christendom today? These people have
been drunk with the old wine, and do not desire the new,
even if it is good and nice. This is where the difficulty
lies. There is no church on earth today that teaches about
God. They teach about persons and doctrines of demons
which lead men to destruction.
It is very unreasonable therefore, for any
individual to seek consultations with The Sole Spiritual
Head, Leader O.O.Obu on Scriptural conversations, just
because such a person is a Pastor, Bishop or opportuned
Religious leader, or even if he has gone abroad to study
about religion. What has that got to do with the Truth?
Practically, nothing! I only laugh at the limitation of what
the worldly people called wisdom. They are very much to
be pitied.
You have been told that Christ will not teach
except in parables.(Matt 13:34). That miracle at the
Canaan marriage feast was a parable. Christ was
120
figuratively speaking about His teachings in the world at
that time. The making of water to become wine referred
to His teachings; that His teachings were not from man's
origin, or earthly. His teachings were new and they were
from God.
The Holy Spirit is power, love, wisdom, and
He is the ONLY ONE capable of teaching you ALL
things. The reason Governments and Churches of the
world are unstable is because they lack the wisdom from
God. They are not taught by the Holy Spirit. The Holy
Spirit alone can teach you about God and ALL things.
Jesus spoke about the confounding of worldly teachings,
and described their teachers as blind guides. "Let them
alone,” Christ said, "They are blind leaders, and if the
blind leads the blind, both shall fall into the ditch."
(Matthew 15:14) Also, referring to those who were
offended because of His teachings, He said: "Every plant
which my heavenly Father did not plant shall be rooted
up."(Matthew 15:13) On another occasion, Christ
referred worldly wisdom to magnificent buildings that
shall be thrown down. "Seek ye not all these things,
verily, I say unto you, there shall not be left here one
stone upon another that shall not be thrown down."
(Luke 21:6). The people thought Christ referred to
their literal buildings. Not at all. He was speaking of
what you falsely called knowledge today, which must
be brought to nought. You accumulate these pieces of
knowledge in order to succeed in life. How useful are
they to you now? Such worldly wisdom are of no value
in the sight of God. It is vanity and striving after the
wind. Let us read again the first Bible lesson of this
gospel.
121
First Bible Lesson: John 6:45
"It is written in the prophets, And they shall
be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath
heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto
me."
Brethren, I would want everybody to read this
portion of the Bible once again. To be admitted in a
school, is one thing; but to be regular in attendance, is
another. To obey and apply the instructions given, is one
thing; to succeed in the final examinations, is another.
Those students who would not read their lessons and
apply them shall find difficulty in their examination. In
an institute of learning, you may have 100 students but
only 10 may be the teachers. These ten are the learned
ones. God has come in these final part of the days to
teach you all things.
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE TEACHINGS AND THE
TEACHER:
The teachings you now receive should not be
joked with. No one is too young or old to learn now.
These teachings are entirely new. All your years of
study in worldly Universities lead you to where you now
find yourselves, and nowhere else. All the heresies that
you have accumulated from the churches of
Christendom, right from your youth, end in vanity. Your
many years of experience do not help you here in this
teaching program. In this school, experience is a student
and not the best teacher.
I am not saying that I am God or that I am Christ
122
or that I am the Holy Spirit. But I am telling you that
God, the Holy Spirit, the promised Comforter, is now
teaching you. Therefore, you must pay more than the
usual attention to the things that you are taught. With the
aid of the Holy Spirit, God's active force is being poured
on you, believing you are able to comprehend these new
teachings. Only those who receive and apply His
teachings shall receive everlasting and beneficial
result. Therefore, let it become known, to the whole
world, that all of God's creatures must now submit and
subject themselves to the Universal Teacher now in
session. They must set aside all previous wisdom,
understanding, status and experience in life, and should
now present themselves as Students to the Holy Spirit of
Truth.
Take a look at the world today. What do you see?
Changes in governments, coups and counter- coups,
assassinations, corruption mal-administrations, nepotism,
bribery and instability. In the institutions of learning,
there are also major changes even from the alphabets.
You now have what is called the new autographic
difference, quite distinct from what you had in your days.
Methods differ, Schools sessions changed to academic
year. All Institutions shall continue to dwindle until they
are finally taken over by the Universal and Sole Tutor,
The Holy Spirit of Truth.
Christ said: "The Kingdom of God is likened to a
mustard seed, which is sown in a field. Although, very
small, and indeed smallest of all seeds, when it is
grown, it becomes the greatest among herbs and
becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air shall come
and lodge on the branches thereof."(Luke 13:18-19).
123

THE SCOPE OF TEACHING:
In this School, you are taught to refrain from all
forms of lawlessness, immorality, loose conduct. By so
doing, you are on the way to everlasting life. There is no
point to argue or to envy others who may make rapid
progress in learning. You will be taught ALL things.
This includes professions, trades and careers, - for
example, engineering and other technical works. It is
written that He will teach you ALL things. What shall it
profit you, if you are admitted in this School and given
all privileges and opportunities of learning, yet you fail to
receive these teachings? Christ spoke about this
promised Comforter, that He will bring ALL things to
your remembrance, whatsoever He (Christ) had
taught or spoken. Consequently, He is now here
with you in this School. What then prevents you from
being taught? What you now see is the fulfillment of
what Christ spoke about. You do not need anybody to
teach you anything. Look unto the Holy Spirit, the only
Principal Tutor, and be taught by Him. He has taught you
the basic principles of life, chastity and holiness. You are
told to refrain from fornication, adultery, drinking any
type of wine, and from all forms of loose conduct. You
must not take instructions from anybody. Listen only to
the Holy Spirit always.
The people of this generation could be likened to
those in Jesus' days, who were still waiting for the
Messiah while He was in their midst. The Samaritan
woman said: "I know that Messiah is coming, who is
called the Christ. Whenever that One comes, He will
124
teach us all things." Jesus said to her: "I that speak unto
you, I am He." People did not know Him, although His
coming was long prophesied.(John 4:25-26).
Were you not told, that Jesus commenced His
ministerial work with followers up to 5,000? But that
number in a short time dwindled to 12. Then on one
occasion, Jesus turned to the remnant of them and asked:
"You do not want to go also, do you?" Simon Peter
answered him: "Lord, whom shall we go away to? You
have sayings of everlasting life and we have believed and
come to know that you are the Holy One of God."(John
6:67-68) What happened at that time is happening today,
because of these words of everlasting life.
At another instance, people were coming from
different places seeking for Christ, and when they found
Him on the other side of the sea, they said unto Him:
"Rabbi, when did you get here?" Jesus answered them
and said: "Most truly I say to you, you are looking for
me, not because you saw signs but, because you ate from
the loaves and were satisfied. Work not for the food that
perishes but for the food that remains for life everlasting,
which the Son of Man will give you; for upon this one
the Father, even God, put His seal of approval." (John
6:25-27) This is exactly what the second Bible lesson of
this gospel has to reveal to the world. For up till now, the
entire world is still waiting anxiously for the Holy Spirit
to come and teach, and rectify all things in all levels of
humanity. May we have the Second Bible Lesson read.
Second Bible Lesson: John 14:26
125
 "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."
THE COMFORTER HAS ARRIVED:
The whole world knew of the coming of the
Great Teacher. But today, I want to use this
opportunity to announce to the whole world that The
Promised Comforter, The Holy Spirit of Truth has
arrived. All the instructions, ways of life and words of
eternal life that you heard from our Lord Jesus Christ was
only preparing you for His arrival. He is here to teach
you ALL things and to bring to your remembrance all
that you heard from our Lord Jesus Christ.
THE BASIC TEACHINGS OF OUR LORD JESUS
CHRIST:
"If any man come to me, and hate not his father
and mother and wife and children and brothers and
sisters, yes, hate not his life, he cannot be my disciple.
And whosoever does not bear His cross and come after
me, cannot be my disciple." (Luke 14:26) Go and sell all
that you possess, come and be my follower! (Luke
18:22). "Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with
good. If any man will sue you at the law and get
possession of your inner garment, let your outer garment
also go to him. And if someone under authority
impresses you into service for a meter, go with him two
meters. Give to the one asking you and do not turn away
from one that wants to borrow from you. Love your
126
enemies, pray for those hating you and those persecuting
you. For if you love them which love you, what reward
have you? You must be perfect even as your Father
which is in heaven is perfect."(Matthew 5:39-48)
The Holy Spirit has come to remind you of all
these basic teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ, as taught
in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. Of course, there
are also, New Truths taught by the Holy Spirit,
because as Christ said, "I have many things to say unto
you but you cannot bear them now, however, when that
ONE arrives, the Spirit of Truth, He will guide you into
ALL Truth, for he will not speak of Himself but
whatsoever He will hear, that will He speak, and He will
show you things to come."(John 16:12-13)
There you have it! New things must be taught “He will
declare to you the things to come.” If there are no new
teachings, it then means, that the Comforter has not
come.
THE NEW TEACHINGS:
It is on record that Christ wept. In the Booklet,
"FIRST STEP TO GOD," weeping is condemned. To
weep and mourn is contrary to the teachings of the Holy
Spirit. Sadness, frowning of face, sighing, grudge, are
also condemned by the Holy Spirit.
Anger, provocation, annoyance, indignation are
not allowed by the Holy Spirit. You must not say because
Christ was provoked, and he drove away the money
changers from the temple, therefore, you can be
127
provoked today. If you do, you will fail in this new
teaching.
The new teaching of the Holy Spirit, encourages,
joy, happiness, compassion, temperance, self-control,
meekness, and humility.
Many people say, because Jesus cursed those in
Bethsaida and also the unproductive fig tree, so they are
free to curse or use abusive words. This is wrong,
because the Holy Spirit teaches that YOU MUST NOT
CURSE BUT BLESS. If you want to qualify and also
graduate in this School, you must follow closely the Holy
Spirit's method of Teaching, and certain rectification on
the method and teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Our Lord Jesus Christ, outspokenly told you that
He could not lead you to the accurate knowledge of the
truth, not until that One arrives, the Holy Spirit of Truth.
Now that the Holy Spirit is here, it is only His teachings
that can lead you to everlasting life.
If you say because Christ changed water into
wine, therefore you can brew or turn water into crude gin
and drink, you are pitiful. So, if you drink anything
bottled and of wine origin, whether African or European,
you have no portion in this kingdom. I want you to take
note of this statement: ANYONE WHO DRINKS
WINE, WHETHER ALCOHOLIC OR NON-
ALCOHOLIC, SOFT OR HOT DRINKS,
SQUASHED OR FERMENTED DRINKS OR ANY
KIND, PALM OR CHEMICALIZED DRINKS,
WILLINGLY OR MISTAKENLY, SHALL NOT
ENTER INTO THIS KINGDOM. THESE ARE
128
SOME TEACHINGS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
It is stated in the Bible that John came neither
eating nor drinking, yet people say "He has a demon."
The Son of Man did come eating and drinking, still
people say, "Look, a man gluttonous and given to
drinking wine, a friend of the publicans and sinners."
(Matthew 11:19/Luke 7:34). The Holy Spirit is now
teaching you that ANYONE WHO DRINKS
ANYTHING BREWED OR BOTTLED AS WINE,
SOFT OR HOT SQUASHED, ALCOHOLIC OR NON
ALCOHOLIC, NOTWITHSTANDING THE
CIRCUMSTANCES INVOLVED IN THE
DRINKING, SHALL NOT ENTER INTO THIS
KINGDOM.
The Holy Spirit condemns all forms of medical
treatment. He teaches you that faith is essential in the
greatest doctor (The Holy Spirit). That you should
consult Him for all treatment. Anything outside this, is
rebellion.
The Holy Spirit teaches you about your position
in marriage. He refers you to what Jesus said concerning
that woman who was married to seven brothers: In the
resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage,
but are like angels of God in heaven.(Luke 20:34-36). In
the new Kingdom there is no marriage. Have you noticed
in the book of Revelation Chapter 14 verses 4 to 5
about the 144.000. "These are they which were not
defiled with women, for they are virgins. And in their
mouth was no guile found, for they are without blemish
before the throne of God." These are the only ones to
remain and rule with Christ. All those who marry are no
129
part of the 144,000 sharers of the Kingdom. Christ
confirmed this stand when He referred to the inheritance
of the Kingdom of God. Those counted worthy to receive
this Kingdom, they neither marry nor are given in
marriage.(Luke 20:35) You are not forced to receive
these teachings. Wherever you find yourself remain
there; for Gods grace is sufficient for you. However,
those who will remain with the Holy Spirit must meet
these requirements.
In any Institution of Higher Learning, you have
many faculties and departments of studies, do you not? It
all depends on what subjects you are taking, and in which
you want to qualify. Likewise, in this School of the Holy
Spirit.
Christ said, "In my Father’s House, there are
many mansions."(John 14:2) In other words. There are
many faculties and departments of studies. Whatever
subject you choose to take you can be sure of being
allocated to your stream with disciplinary measures
insight. All are under the overall supervision of the
Principal Chancellor and Director of Studies, the Sole
Spiritual Head. There are several subjects to be taken,
and the students are tutored and well-informed of the
advantages and disadvantages of all subjects. Subjects
like fornication, adultery, heresies, sedition, uncleanness,
variance, revelries, loose conduct, anger, wrath,
emulation, contention, strife, fighting, gossiping, envy,
jealously, stealing, craftiness, robbery, polygamy,
abortion, etc. have their departments. You are warned of
the disastrous ends, but if you are interested in any of
them, you are free to go ahead and graduate. You will
have yourself to blame at the final end.
130
Notwithstanding, the School's prescribed
subjects are: Love, peace, goodness, kindness, joy,
humility, meekness, self-control, long-suffering and
all godly virtues. The Holy Spirit declares that against
these prescribed subjects there is no law.(Galatians
5:22-23). At your graduation, you are immediately
absolved in this Kingdom government.
The followers of Christ knew nothing about this,
for they all were waiting for the coming of the Holy
Spirit. Today, the Holy Spirit has come with His
teachings. What a fortunate generation! Remember
that Christ sent out His disciples in twos to go only to the
lost house of Israel and not to the Samaritans. But today,
the Holy Spirit has directed that we love one another,
and His message and teachings are Universal.
The Holy Spirit message is called "THE
EVERLASTING GOSPEL." The teachings of the Holy
Spirit have everlasting benefits. Read the golden text of
this gospel again.
Golden Text: Revelation 7:17
"For the Lamb which is in the midst of the
throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto
living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe
away all tears from their eyes."
I am telling you that anger is a death-dealing
131
poison. Cursing and the use of vile words, adverse
jesting, abusive words and jokes are very provocative,
and they boomerang and affect the speaker. The use of
tobacco, cigarettes and snuff are devilish and poisonous.
When any user of tobacco dies, the corpse immediately
decays. Fornication drives away the Holy Spirit, and it
brings sickness, pains, sorrows, and separates you
from God. It brings death. Even conjugal intercourse
deters your relationship with the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit has taught you not to keep
account of injury, not to judge nor condemn others. That
you must not plan ahead for the flesh. Christ said, those
who came before Him were thieves and robbers. (John
10:8). Therefore, today, when you hear His voice, do not
harden your hearts. Refrain from all forms of immorality
and lawlessness; for these things bring tribulation,
hardship, affliction to you and separate you from God.
Flippancy, falsehood, are detrimental. Polygamous life is
condemned. It divides the home and makes the home a
competitive family. This is what the Holy Spirit teaches.
The Holy Spirit comes with truth and life.
Why not open the doors of your minds for this Great
Teacher? If you are preparing to travel to a foreign land,
you must be familiar with the customs of that land, less
you will be deported when you get there.
I have come to lead you to the accurate
knowledge of the truth. To teach you the way of
everlasting life, and to liberate you fully from the
pangs of destruction. I do not compel nor force you to
practice these teachings. For the ability to do so does not
come from you. However, I have completed my
132
teachings, and those who comply with them shall see
good days and peaceful life.
From the day Adam forsook the instructions of
God, he stopped seeing good days; but found death.
Therefore, leave behind the worldly teachings, come here
as a child. Put away all erroneous teachings that you had;
and press on to maturity. You cannot claim to be a
Pastor, or Apostle, Prophet, and yet you continue to drink
and fornicate. It is very unreasonable. There is nothing
hidden in the sight of God. His eves and ears are wide
and large enough to see and to hear things done in
absolute secrecy. Anything done outside this line of truth
leads to eternal destruction.
Remember Brethren, your calling was not to get
money, children, cars, houses, or for eating; but you
were called to be taught by the Holy Spirit so that
your joy may become full, to be free from all lusts and
wants of life, to graduate as Masters from this great
Institution of Highest Learning. You are inexcusable, O
man (woman)! should you fail to receive these
teachings.
Why are you here for many years and yet you
still succumb to acts of lawlessness and immorality? The
answer to that question is vivid. You did not come here
to be taught, and you have not learned from the Holy
Spirit. It is because you have become drunk with the old
wine and do not desire the new wine. Yes, it is because
you have been indoctrinated with false doctrines and
the wisdom of this old world. It is because your hearts
and minds have become blunt due to the heresies that
you have been taught. What a sad situation that you are
133
in? Some of you because of pride and arrogance, you
have failed to become like your tutor. The Holy Spirit
has demonstrated His teachings practically to you.
When Adam and Eve were created, instructions
were given to them as to their food. They were to feed on
fruits only. I do not intend to go in detail with you in this
aspect. I shall leave this for future lectures to treat, on
how this applies to you today. I cannot continue to
enumerate these requirements to you; for the more I do
so, the more you are becoming more pitiful indeed. I can
understand this, that you only come here for blessings
and not to be taught by the Holy Spirit.
I have taught you not to keep funeral parlours and
mourning houses. That when someone sleeps in the Lord,
you should give thanks to God, and then dispose of the
remains. But is it not surprising that you have refused to
heed this vital instruction?
As I am standing here, delivering this gospel, I
am speaking to you and the whole world from heaven, so
that no one would say I did not hear. You are
inexcusable, I repeat. These teachings could be likened to
the rejected stone by the builders which later became the
chief corner stone.(Psalm 118:22).
I did not come to receive praises, honour and the
vain glory of men, but I have come with the knowledge
of truth, and to impart same to all who want to be
taught by me. I am not after the effect of the cause, but
the cause of the effect. All those who commit sins are
slaves of sin and we have no room for slaves in this
kingdom. Christ said: "Every doer of sin is a slave of
134
sin."(John 8:34).
If you start to practice these teachings from
today, you will see changes in your life. Let us be
thankful to God, because if I did not come, the whole
world would have perished. For no one would have
taught you about God. Therefore, if you have problems,
it is because you do not practice the teachings of The
Holy Spirit.
THE TRUE BLESSEDNESS:
Do you remember what our Lord Jesus Christ
told that woman who said unto Him: "Blessed is the
womb that bare thee and the breasts which you had
sucked." Christ said to her "Rather, blessed are they that
hear the Word of God and keep it,"(Luke 11:28) I have
not come as Pastor, Apostle or Prophet. I have come to
lead you to ALL the truth and to bring back to your
remembrance all that Christ spoke about. All that I say
unto you, are not from any other source but from the
Holy Spirit.
Therefore, if you reject my sayings, you do not
reject me but the Holy Spirit that was promised by the
Father to come and teach you and to lead you unto ALL
TRUTH.
The Holy Spirit is here and what you have heard
is from him. You will have yourself to blame if you
reject these teachings.
I do not intend to be tedious unto you. Those who
135
have ears to hear, let them hear. May the Everlasting
Father, The Spirit of Truth, Teacher and Leader, bless
His Holy Teachings, now and forever more. Amen.
