LUKE 17:20-21
20: And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of
God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God
cometh not with observation:
21: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the
kingdom of God is within you.
GALATIANS 4: 19-20
19: My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be
formed in you,
20: I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I
stand in doubt of you.
LUKE 17:36-37
36: Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other
left.
37: And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said
unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be
gathered together.
22: That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man,
which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
24: And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in
righteousness and true holiness.
GALATIANS 3:26-27
26: For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
27: For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on
Christ.
COLOSIANS 3:27
27: To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of
this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of
glory:
28: Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in
all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
THE STATE OF CHRISTHOOD
1ST LESSON GALATIANS 3: 27-28
"For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have
put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is
neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for
ye are all one in Christ Jesus".
Now, if you are given a hand bell to ring round the town,
informing everybody to assemble at the town square, but
you go about announcing that all women should gather at
the town·s square, do you think any man will answer the
call? Since men were not called, they will not attend such a
meeting. The call was intended for Christ to come, not
woman nor men. When men and women come together, you
have Christ. It is written:
"For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that
we should not be condemned with the world". (1 Corinthians
11: 31-32).
You can see that the statement of our Lord Jesus Christ is
fulfilled in you that, `I and my Father are one· (John 10:30).
Wherever you go, God is there (John 16:32). The hosts of
heaven, the angels, all spirits, children, Father, Son and the
Holy Spirit are with you at all times. All things submit to the
will of the Father in you. So do not fear anything visible or
invisible. Whatever good thing you find yourself doing, do not
think that you are the one actually doing IT. IF ANY PERSON
TELLS YOU THAT, HE WANTS TO SEE CHRIST, TELL HIM
THAT, THE ONE BEFORE HIM SPEAKING IS THE CHRIST.
ALTHOUGH YOU KNOW THAT, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO
SAY THIS, YOU ARE AFRAID TO SAY IT. INSTEAD, YOU
KEEP REFERRING PEOPLE TO 34 AMBO STREET AND 26
MBUKPA ROAD, CALABAR. YOU HAVE THEREFORE LEFT
THE TRUTH TO FALSEHOOD.
Christ is the one who heals us and solves all our problems
(John ). So, there is no other power or thing in existence
here in the Kingdom apart from God and His Christ. This
Kingdom is the embodiment of the Almighty God and His
Christ. This is the Kingdom of God. THERE IS NO HOUSE,
PALACE, PLANET OR PLANE THAT IS BIG ENOUGH TO
ACCOMMODATE HIM. HE IS EVERYWHERE AND HAS FILLED
ALL PLANES AND BEINGS. AS HE IS EVERYWHERE, WE ARE
EQUALLY FOUND EVERYWHERE AND IN ALL BEINGS. IN
THE ATLANTIS, SUBTERRANEAN, ASTRAL AND IN ALL
SPIRITUAL PLANES, WE ARE FOUND LAVISHLY. WE ARE
OMNIPRESENT AND UNIVERSAL.
We are with the Father wherever He is. So, when the Father
said, `Let us make man in our own image· (Genesis 1: 26),
who constitute the people in the plural terms (`us· and `our·)
as used in the above statement? It is out of ignorance for
members to continue to request for one thing or the other.
You should know that, you are not alone. Once you preach
and proclaim before people that, the Almighty God and His
Christ have come down to earth, you have done the right
thing. Do not say that someone has backslidden or has gone
out of Brotherhood, Brotherhood is everything.
All those who have not received this baptism into Christhood
in Brotherhood are not the children of God. Such persons
have not Christ, for they are of the flesh. Though your father
may be a bishop, Prime Minister or governor or occupies any
other exalted post, he is of the flesh so long as he is not
baptized into Christhood and in this Kingdom. However, the
moment he accepts and is baptized by immersion, he would
abide by Christ and the spirit of the Most High. This is the
only source to being exalted to the position of Christ and a
child of God.
You should be very careful with the un-baptized brethren.
They should be under you and it is your duty to teach them
all that is observed in this Kingdom, irrespective of their
status. Nevertheless, do not segregate against them, for
that is not the teaching of our Lord Jesus Christ. Bring them
up in the teaching of this fold so that, there may be one
flock under one shepherd. Brotherhood is a Universal
Kingdom. AS A BAPTIZED BROTHERHOOD, YOU HAVE BEEN
VESTED WITH THE DIVINE POWER FROM THE HOLY
FATHER. AS SUCH, YOU HAVE EVERY AUTHORITY TO
CONTROL THE UN-BAPTISED BRETHREN. YOU ARE NO
MORE AN ORDINARY HUMAN BEING. YOU HAVE HENCE,
BEEN TRANSFORMED FROM CARNAL STATE INTO THE
STATE OF IMMORTALITY. THEREFORE, YOU HAVE THE
RIGHT TO TEACH ANYBODY, EVEN THE PRESIDENTS,
MINISTERS AND TOP GOVERNMENT FUNCTIONARIES. YOU
HAVE NO CAUSE TO FEAR BECAUSE EVERYTHING HAS
BEEN SUBDUED. Read the second lesson again:
"Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet
appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall
appear, we shall be like him: for we shall see him as he is".
Since creation, which man has ever healed the sick, raised
the dead, made the dumb to speak, the lame to walk and the
blind to see, except God? None! You have been warned not
to keep company with unbelievers. This is because; an
unbeliever has nothing good to offer you as a believer. The
temple of devil has nothing to do with the temple of God. As
the child of the Most High God, you are warned to
disassociate yourself from the world. See authority below:
"Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate,
saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will
receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be
my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty". (2
CORINTHIANS 6: 17-18)
Now, the Holy Spirit, even the Comforter has come to reveal
Christ and testify about Him. The two of them do not differ in
their pronouncements. Today, the world does not believe
that the promised Comforter is here on earth. They take
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star to be a demonic
organization. As such, they dread the ordained ones,
especially the Deaconesses, Evangelists and Apostles.
"I and my Father are one" (St. John 10: 30). And in another
stance He declared:
"He shall glorify me; for he shall receive of mine, and shall
shew it unto you. All things that the Father hath are mine:
therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it
unto you". (St. John 16: 14-15)
"« Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it
abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit". (St.
John 12: 24).
The spirit, sand, mud, tree, rain, air and every other
phenomena created by God is Christ. Take the Biakpan
healing water as an example. The healing force in that water
is nothing but Christ. Even the sand found there is Christ. If
you believe in it as Christ, it acts accordingly. IF A PERSON
ASKS YOU, WHETHER YOU ARE THE CHRIST, TELL HIM
THAT YOU ARE HIS WITNESS. TESTIFY TO THE WORKS
THAT YOU HAVE SEEN HIM DO IN THIS ERA. TELL THEM
THAT, EVEN THE WORDS ARE CHRIST AND THAT, AS YOU
ARE SPEAKING TO THEM, THEY HAVE WITNESSED HIM.
Note that, this is the time for Him to be glorified, even as He
glorified His Father. So, you have to glorify Christ and reveal
Him to the world. DO NOT TELL PEOPLE THAT YOU ARE THE
CHRIST, FOR YOU ARE NOT THE CHRIST. JUST BELIEVE
THAT AFTER YOUR BAPTISM, CHRIST HAD COME INTO
YOUR SPIRIT. AS SUCH, HE TAKES CARE OF YOU IN ALL
THAT YOU MAY STRIVE TO ACCOMPLISH. IN OTHER
WORDS, CHRIST IS THE ACCOMPLISHING FORCE IN
WHATEVER TASK YOU EMBARK ON. YOU ARE ONLY A
WITNESS TO ALL THE THINGS HE HAS DONE IN THE
WORLD.
