BIBLE WITNESS:MATTHEW 12:46-50Mat 12:46 While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his

brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him. Mat 12:47 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren

stand without, desiring to speak with thee. Mat 12:48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my

mother? and who are my brethren? Mat 12:49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said,

Behold my mother and my brethren! Mat 12:50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven,

the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

That which is constituted in Matthew 12:46-50 has materialized in this kingdom. AS I AM HERE,***I DO NOT HAVE A FATHER, MOTHER, BROTHERS, OR SISTERS. YOU ARE ALL I HAVE. CONTRARILY YOU HAVE FAILED TO LET GOD BE ALL IN ALL FOR YOU. YOU RATHER CLAIM TO HAVE BROTHERS AND SISTERS, ETC. I AM NOT FROM BIAKPAN, BIASE, NOR CROSS RIVER STATE, NEITHER AM I FROM NIGERIA, AFRICA, NOR EUROPE. YOU ARE MY COUNTRY, BROTHERS, AND SISTERS. THOSE WHO PRACTICE THE GOSPELS ARE ALL IN ALL FOR ME. THIS IS THE HIDDEN KNOWLEDGE YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD BEFORE. THEREFORE YOU MUST KNOW THAT WHOEVER PRACTICES THE WORD OF GOD, THE SAME IS MY BROTHER, SISTER, FATHER, AND MOTHER.

HIGHLIGHTS:* EVEN THE GOVERNMENTS OF THE WORLD ARE YIELDING TO THIS FORCE. A brother by name Ita, had testified about the problems that prevail in the governments.THE TRUTH IS THAT THEY WILL NOT BE IN PEACE EXCEPT THEY SUBMIT TO GOD.THE CHANGE OF PEOPLE IN POWER IS NEVER THE SOLUTION TO THE EXISTING PROBLEM. THE ULTIMATE WAY WHICH IS THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH IS FOR THEM TO RECOGNIZE GOD, ELSE THE GOVERNMENT CANNOT BE STABLE. NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO, ASIDE FROM KNOWING GOD, THEY WILL STILL REMAIN IN SHAMBLES. THEREFORE WHEN THE GOVERNMENTS CONDUCT ELECTIONS, NEVER BE BOTHERED, FOR SUCH ARE FRUITLESS VENTURES. THE CONDITION FOR STABILITY IS HERE SPELT OUT, AND THAT, IS FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO KNOW AND REVERE GOD.*Many people, when campaigning, do make promises of turning the economy around if they are voted into power. But the question is can they change their lifestyles? HOW WILL THEY BE ABLE TO BUILD THE ECONOMY IF THEY NEITHER KNOW NOR REVERE GOD? IT IS ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE. A great many people are claiming to be chairmen of Local Government Councils, but what good thing have they done? They rather amass wealth for themselves and leave the masses in utter poverty. ALL THEIR FILTHY PROMISES ARE JUST TO MOTIVATE THE PEOPLE TO VOTE THEM TO ATTAIN GREAT HEIGHTS; AND ONCE THEY ARE THERE,

THEY ABANDON ALL THEY HAD PROMISED AND CONCENTRATE ON THEIR PERSONAL WELFARE. THESE PEOPLE DO NOT IN REALITY SEEK THE POSTS BUT THEIR REAL MOTIVE IS TO SEEK FOR THE MONEY DERIVED FROM THESE POSITION.*LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE: Beloved, Matthew 5:16 advises that we should let our light shine before men, so that they may see our good works and glorify our Father in heaven. THOSE WHO ARE STEADFAST IN GOD’S SERVICES ARE BETTER PLACED. THEY ENJOY ME MORE THAN THOSE WHO ARE NOT STEADFAST. THE VERY PRONOUNCEMENT OF PEACE YOU MAKE IS REALLY EFFECTING CHANGES IN THE LIVES OF MANY. IT HAS RESTORED ABSOLUTE TRANQUILITY WHERE IT WAS LACKING. AS A RESULT OF THIS MANY PEOPLE WANT YOU TO PRAY FOR THEM, WHENEVER THEY SEE YOU. THE DOCTORS, ENGINEERS, PRESIDENTS, ETC. ARE ALL IN SEARCH OF YOUR PRAYERS.

THIS IS NEVER A TIME TO TELL ONE TO BEHOLD THE PRESENCE OF GOD HERE OR THERE. SUCH TIMES HAVE LONG PASSED. IT IS NEITHER A TIME FOR RIDDLES, STORY-TELLING OR DECEIT.

*You have been warned to stay away from sin, yet you are still indulging in sin. What paramount goal is achieved from sin? There is nothing God has not taught you. You have been taught about the twelve powers of man, how to lead a successful life, how to practice righteousness and how to stay away from sin. YOU HAVE BEEN SHOWN THAT IT IS GOOD AND RIGHT TO KNOW GOD AND TO

IDENTIFY HIS CHOSEN PEOPLE. YOU HAVE BEEN SO EQUIPPED WITH THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL’S DOCTRINE WHICH HAS CREATED SUCH AN AWARENESS IN YOU, AND NOW NEITHER ANY POPE, NOR ANY BISHOP, NOR ANY PASTOR CAN CONFUSE YOU WITH VAIN TEACHINGS. EVEN IF YOU ARE TOLD THAT THE GOVERNMENT WANTS TO CREATE AN AWARENESS ON RELIGIOUS MATTERS, YOU WOULD NEVER BE BOTHERED BECAUSE YOU HAVE BEEN TAUGHT ALL THE NECESSARY THINGS. BUT THE QUESTION NOW IS, HAVING ATTAINED SUCH A LEVEL OF AWARENESS, WHAT STOPS YOU FROM PRACTICING THE WORD OF GOD?

* BELOVED THIS IS THE BEGINNING AND THE END OF SCRIPTURES. AMERICANS AND THE ENTIRE WHITE RACE SHALL TROOP IN HERE. REMEMBER THE COUPLE WHO ARE PROFESSORS WHO TESTIFIED HOW THEY HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THIS KINGDOM AND EVEN DREAMT ABOUT IT AND FOR THAT REASON, THEY JOINED SO MANY CHURCHES SINCE THEY CAME TO NIGERIA, ALL IN SEARCH OF THIS KINGDOM. IN SPITE OF THEIR SEARCH, THEY WERE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THIS KINGDOM. BUT ON THEIR BAPTISM INTO BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR, THEY REALIZED THAT THIS IS THE LONG AWAITED KINGDOM. ON FURTHER TESTIMONY, THEY SAID THAT THEY WERE VERY WEALTHY BUT THEY HAD NEGLECTED THEIR HOMETOWN, AND AS SUCH THEY WANT TO STAY HERE PERMANENTLY. BUT I INTERVENED AND I ALERTED THEM OF THE OMNIPRESENT NATURE OF GOD FOR I AM WITH THEM ALWAYS IN THEIR HOME TOWN. I MADE

THEM REALIZE THAT IF THEY DO NOT GO BACK TO THEIR HOME TOWN, THE FATHER’S WORK THERE WILL BE NEGLECTED. I BADE THEM FAREWELL AND INSTRUCTED THEM TO GO AND PRACTICE LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER.

*IT SERVES YOU NO USEFUL PURPOSE COMING IN HERE TO SCRAMBLE FOR POSITION OR CARVE OUT EMPIRE FOR YOURSELF. THIS IS A KINGDOM WHERE EQUALITY IS THE RULE; AND SAME IS THE WILL OF GOD FOR ALL THE HEIRS AND HEIRESSES OF THIS KINGDOM.

SUBMIT YOURSELF THEREFORE TO THE LEADERSHIP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT; AND YOU WILL NOT ERR. EXCEPT YOU SUBJECT YOURSELF TO THE LEADERSHIP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, YOU CANNOT DO ANYTHING TO PLEASE GOD.*EXCEPT YOU REVEAL YOUR FATHER TO THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD, THEY WILL NOT KNOW HIM. DIFFERENTLY PUT, LET YOUR LIFESTYLE REVEAL GOD TO THE WORLD. IF YOU HAVE NOT DONE THIS THEN YOU ARE TOYING WITH YOUR MANDATE.*The blacks, hitherto, were viewed as an inferior race such that nothing good was expected to originate from it; but today events have been reversed, the black is now a very serious race to reckon with. I HAVE EXALTED THE BLACK RACE. And for the whites, they must team up to do this work. They are billed to finance the activities of this kingdom.

EVERLASTING GOSPEL:

1THE VERITABLE CHANNEL

TEXT OF DISCUSSION: REVELATION 22:1- END 1And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: 4And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. 5And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. 6And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done. 7Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. 8And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. 9Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God. 10And he

saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. 11He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. 12And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 13I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. 14Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. 15For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. 16I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. 17And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. 18For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.20He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. 21The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

SCRIPTURES FULFILLED: Beloved, the above text constitutes the theme

of our Bible Class Lecture. It is a paramount admonition which you must adhere to strictly. I HAVE EARLIER TOLD YOU THAT MY ADVENT HERE ON EARTH IS NEVER TO SCRAMBLE FOR MATERIAL THINGS, NEITHER HAVE I COME TO JOKE WITH ANYBODY. I HAVE COME TO JUDGE THE ENTIRE WORLD. You have been taught all things about the occurrences that will come to pass and those that had passed already. The books of Genesis to Malachi constitute a rundown of all you are expected to know. In these scriptural nominations, you are made to know about the reign of Moses, how the entire world was wallowing in agony and how anxiously men were expecting our Lord Jesus Christ to come and salvage them. In the said Scriptures, the coming of the Son of man was also testified about: how He was to be tortured, accused, killed and how He will resurrect on the third day. It is also testified that He would be known and called EMMANUEL, MEANING GOD WITH US. Eventually, Our Lord Jesus Christ came as was testified, and He was born at Bethlehem.

He started His mission by teaching the people about the truth. He also enlightened us on the beatitudes as contained in Matthew 5:1-6. 1: And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: 2: And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, 3: Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4: Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. 5:

Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.6: Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

Beloved, with the aforementioned scriptural passage, OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WAS TEACHING ABOUT THE NEW KINGDOM. GOING TO JERUSALEM DOES NOT CONNOTE RIGHTEOUSNESS; THE FACT OF THE MATTER LIES IN THE BEATITUDES. ASIDE FROM THE BEATITUDES, WHATEVER PEOPLE TRY TO COME UP WITH IS NULL AND VOID. IF YOU ABIDE BY THE PRINCIPLES OF THE BEATITUDES, YOU ARE FREE. THE PRINCIPLE OF THE BEATITUDES IS TRANSCENDENTAL. THIS IS THE SCRIPTURE THAT HAS ENJOINED THAT WHOEVER IS JUST HE SHOULD CONTINUE TO BE JUST, WHOEVER IS UNJUST, HE SHOULD BE UNJUST, AND WHOEVER IS FILTHY, LET HIM REMAIN FILTHY STILL AND WHOEVER IS RIGHTEOUS, LET HIM REMAIN RIGHTEOUS STILL.

NO TIME TO JOKE: As you have been so enjoined, it is pertinent that you uphold what you have been admonished with, for this is never time for jokes. The time for ignorance has long passed. Do not deceive yourself by claiming to be serving God. MANY HAVE BUILT MANSIONS AND THEY CLAIM TO HAVE BUILT THE MANSIONS FOR GOD. THE QUESTION IS, OF WHAT IMPORTANCE ARE ALL THESE MATERIAL THINGS TO GOD? YOU SHOULD REALIZE THAT GOD IS NEVER INTERESTED IN ALL THESE CARNAL THINGS, FOR HE OWNS ALL THINGS. EVERY MAN BELONGS TO GOD, SO HE HAS ENOUGH CHILDREN. THEREFORE FOR YOU TO CLAIM YOU ARE HAVING CHILDREN FOR GOD IS A MISCONCEPTION.

EVERYTHING BELONGS TO GOD, BOTH IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH. IT IS PERTINENT THAT YOU ARE WARNED THAT THIS IS NEVER A TIME FOR IGNORANCE. THE TIME OF IGNORANCE HAD LONG PASSED. THIS IS NEVER A TIME TO EXPRESS CARNAL WISDOM. IT IS NOT THE TIME FOR ONE TO COME ONLY TO SEEK FOR HIS SICKNESS TO BE CURED. THIS IS THE TIME FOR EVERYONE TO MAKE UP HIS OR HER MIND AND BE STRONG AND DECISIVE, FOR IT IS ONLY THE RIGHTEOUS WHO SHALL INHERIT THIS KINGDOM. THEREFORE YOU MUST SERVE GOD DILIGENTLY.

BELOVED, IT IS VERY PATHETIC; FOR VARIOUS TEACHINGS ARE IMPARTED TO YOU ON A DAILY BASIS, YEAR AFTER YEAR, AND YET YOU REFUSE TO COMPLY WITH THE INJUNCTIONS OF GOD. WHAT ELSE DO YOU EXPECT TO BE TAUGHT WHICH YOU HAVE NOT BEEN TAUGHT BEFORE? It is also very surprising to note that many cannot even embark on missionary work. The Apostle/ Evangelists are rather putting up retrogressive measures in this regards. They have decided to sit back in their homes and complain of having pains in the leg, waist and so on. So, they cannot practice any iota of the gospel, why do you claim you have to work for Olumba? IF YOU DESIRE TO WORK FOR GOD, YOU MUST PRACTICE GOD’S INJUNCTIONS. IF YOU DO NOT PRACTICE GOD’S INJUNCTION, YOU WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE: Beloved, Matthew 5:16 advises that we should let our light shine before men, so that they may see

our good works and glorify our Father in heaven. THOSE WHO ARE STEADFAST IN GOD’S SERVICES ARE BETTER PLACED. THEY ENJOY ME MORE THAN THOSE WHO ARE NOT STEADFAST. THE VERY PRONOUNCEMENT OF PEACE YOU MAKE IS REALLY EFFECTING CHANGES IN THE LIVES OF MANY. IT HAS RESTORED ABSOLUTE TRANQUILITY WHERE IT WAS LACKING. AS A RESULT OF THIS MANY PEOPLE WANT YOU TO PRAY FOR THEM, WHENEVER THEY SEE YOU. THE DOCTORS, ENGINEERS, PRESIDENTS, ETC. ARE ALL IN SEARCH OF YOUR PRAYERS.

THIS IS NEVER A TIME TO TELL ONE TO BEHOLD THE PRESENCE OF GOD HERE OR THERE. SUCH TIMES HAVE LONG PASSED. IT IS NEITHER A TIME FOR RIDDLES, STORY-TELLING NOR DECEIT. THIS HOWEVER IS THE TIME FOR THE LONG EXPECTED KINGDOM OF GOD TO BE SEEN BY ALL. NOW THAT THE KINGDOM OF GOD HAS MANIFESTED, YOU SHOULD BE CONTENT AND DO NOT SEEK TO AMASS WEALTH FROM THE GOVERNMENT, INDIVIDUALS, OR ANY ORGANIZATION, FOR GOD IS ALL AND IN ALL FOR YOU.

THE KEY TO SUCCESS: ALL WILL BE WELL AND WHATEVER YOU ASK OF GOD WILL BE GRANTED BY MERE KNOCKING OF YOUR FOREHEAD ON THE GROUND AND PRAYING TO THE FATHER. IN THIS FOLD, YOU DO NOT NEED TO CONSULT YOUR EARTHLY PARENTS BEFORE YOU ACQUIRE ANYTHING, NEITHER DO YOU NEED TO MEET WITH THE PRESIDENT. THE KEY TO YOUR SUCCESS LIES IN YOUR GOING ON YOUR KNEES AND PRAYING TO THE FATHER, AND ALL WOULD BE

WELL. BELOVED THERE IS NO OTHER PLACE YOU CAN GO FOR CONSULTATION TO GET WHAT YOU WANT, EXCEPT THROUGH PRAYERS. AND ONCE YOU GO ON YOUR KNEES AND PRAY TO THE FATHER, YOUR PROBLEMS ARE SOLVED.

There is one military man who was eager to get his promotion in the army. He bribed all those he felt would be useful in granting him the promotion but he was not promoted. Finally, he came to 34 Ambo and spent some time with the Father. As the Father wished it, he was promoted. YOU ARE PROPERLY EQUIPPED: You have been warned to stay away from sin, yet you are still indulging in sin. What paramount goal is achieved from sin? There is nothing God has not taught you. You have been taught about the twelve powers of man, how to lead a successful life, how to practice righteousness and how to stay away from sin. YOU HAVE BEEN SHOWN THAT IT IS GOOD AND RIGHT TO KNOW GOD AND TO IDENTIFY HIS CHOSEN PEOPLE. YOU HAVE BEEN SO EQUIPPED WITH THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL’S DOCTRINE WHICH HAS CREATED SUCH AWARENESS IN YOU, AND NOW NEITHER ANY POPE, NOR ANY BISHOP, NOR ANY PASTOR CAN CONFUSE YOU WITH VAIN TEACHINGS. EVEN IF YOU ARE TOLD THAT THE GOVERNMENT WANTS TO CREATE AWARENESS ON RELIGIOUS MATTERS, YOU WOULD NEVER BE BOTHERED BECAUSE YOU HAVE BEEN TAUGHT ALL THE NECESSARY THINGS. BUT THE QUESTION NOW IS, HAVING ATTAINED SUCH A LEVEL OF AWARENESS, WHAT STOPS YOU FROM PRACTICING THE WORD OF GOD?

The Bible revealed the one hundred and forty-

four thousand elects of God; and now we are staying with Him at all times, daily, and nightly. No leave, no transfer. THIS IS BECAUSE GOD LIVES ETERNALLY AND SO EVERYTHING TAKES A CONTINUOUS PROCESS. Many are fond of going to Church regularly, yet they cannot practice the Word of God. OF WHAT USE IS THEIR CHURCH ATTENDANCE? It has no meaning and it is as a result of this useless venture that many denominations are in shambles. Consequently, many are running to Brotherhood of the Cross and Star to seek refuge. When Pastors of other denominations have problems, they will disguise themselves so that they may not be recognized by the people, and they will come to seek help from the Father. When their problems are solved, they would go and mobilize the whole community to come down to Calabar and see the Holy Father. Having seen all these good works of the Father, it is imperative for you to avail yourself of this great privilege provided by the Father’s grace. Refer to Malachi 4:1-end. 1: For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. 2: But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. 3: And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts. 4: Remember ye the law of Moses

my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments. 5: Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: 6: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse. THE ADVENT OF TRUTH: BELOVED, THERE WAS NO IOTA OF TRUTH IN THE WORLD UNTIL THE ADVENT OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. All the Patriarchs in the Old Testament like Moses, Enoch, Melchizedec, etc. whom people praise, did nothing. The entire world was like a peninsular and none was sure of getting any mineral reserves from it. But as it was gradually explored, suddenly, the mineral reserve was discovered. SO ALSO WAS THE WORLD IN DARKNESS UNTIL OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST MANIFESTED. IT WAS ONLY AT THE TIME OF CHRIST THAT THE TRUTH EMBEDDED IN THE SCRIPTURES STARTED MANIFESTING. One army officer testified that after the Holy Father had baptized him, the Father enjoined him NEVER TO BE WORRIED OVER ANYTHING, AND THAT WHENEVER HE HAD A PROBLEM HE SHOULD NOT TROUBLE HIMSELF ABOUT COMING TO 34 AMBO, RATHER HE SHOULD GO ON HIS KNEES AND PRAY TO THE FATHER AND ALL WILL BE WELL. HE WAS ASSURED OF THE OMNIPRESENCE OF THE FATHER. SINCE HIS BAPTISM MANY YEARS AGO, THE FATHER’S PRONOUNCEMENT OF HIS OMNIPRESENT NATURE HAS BEEN THE BROTHER’S WATCH WORD. THUS HE HAS MADE IT A POINT OF DUTY TO GO ON

HIS KNEES ANYTIME HE HAS PROBLEMS, AND HE HAS BEEN HAVING POSITIVE RESULTS.

I marvel at the situation where you come in here, and keep receiving His teachings daily, yet you engage in sin, what is your stance? Having seen this truth, why do you still indulge in sin? It profits you nothing, rather it leads you astray. The scripture at Malachi 4:1-end is a typical text of the Old Testament. THIS EXPLAINS WHY IN THIS FOLD WE DO NOT RELY ON THE OLD TESTAMENT. Refer to Luke 1:7-end. And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years. 8: And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest’s office before God in the order of his course, 9: According to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord. 10: And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense. 11: And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense. 12: And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him. 13: But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. 14: And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth. 15: For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother’s womb. 16: And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God. 17: And he shall go before him in the spirit

and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord. 18: And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years. 19: And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings. 20: And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season. 21: And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple. 22: And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he beckoned unto them, and remained speechless. 23: And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house. 24: And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying, 25: Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men. 26: And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, 27: To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. 28: And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favored, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. 29: And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast

in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. 30: And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favor with God. 31: And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. 32: He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: 33: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. 34: Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? 35: And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called THE SON OF GOD. 36: And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren. 37: For with God nothing shall be impossible. 38: And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her. 39: And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda; 40: And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth. 41: And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: 42: And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. 43: And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44: For, lo, as soon as the

voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. 45: And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord. 46: And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, 47: And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. 48: For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. 49: For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name. 50: And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation. 51: He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. 52: He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. 53: He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. 54: He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy; 55: As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever. 56: And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house. 57: Now Elisabeth’s full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son. 58: And her neighbors and her cousins heard how the Lord had shewed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her. 59: And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the name of his father. 60: And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John. 61: And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name. 62: And they made signs to his father, how

he would have him called. 63: And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marvelled all. 64: And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spake, and praised God. 65: And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judaea. 66: And all they that heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, What manner of child shall this be! And the hand of the Lord was with him. 67: And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying, 68: Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people, 69: And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David; 70: As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: 71: That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us; 72: To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant; 73: The oath which he sware to our father Abraham, 74: That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear, 75: In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life. 76: And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways; 77: To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins, 78: Through the tender mercy of our God; WHEREBY THE DAYSPRING FROM ON HIGH HATH VISITED US, 79: To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of

death, to guide our feet into the way of peace. 80: And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel.

THE FATHER HAS A SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT: The prophets of old times were ignorant of the

truth because there was none to enlighten them of the truth. BUT ON THE ADVENT OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, THE WHOLE WORLD BECAME ENLIGHTENED. OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST PROVED HIS IDENTITY AS THE SON OF MAN AND PROPHESIED OF HIS DEATH. HE ALSO PROMISED TO COME BACK AND TAKE US AFTER PREPARING A PLACE FOR US IN HEAVEN SO THAT WHERE HE IS THERE ALSO MAY WE BE WITH HIM THEREFORE ON HIS SECOND ADVENT, SHOULD HE BE TEACHING, BUILDING MANSIONS, OR SETTLING DISPUTES BETWEEN COUPLES? HE IS COMING FOR THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR HIM AND HE IS READY TO ADORN THEM WITH THE GLORY OF THIS NEW KINGDOM. THUS THERE SHALL BE NO MORE AFFLICTIONS.

You have heard that a total number of one hundred and forty-four thousand shall dwell with God and serve Him day and night. But when you come here you start complaining of aches and pains and request that the Father should make pronouncement over your needs like husbands, children, etc. But this is never the nature of the work the Father has come to do. Many request for promotion and other forms of carnal request and materialism. The question is why do you need

these things? Do you know that those who have acquired them already do not find any of these things beneficial? When you still seek to procreate children, what importance is attached to the ones you already have? You must reason steadfastly, for this is never a time for ignorance and such acts associated with it. This is the time that is destined for the children of God to see and enjoy God’s glory.

Learn a lesson from the testimony of the military officer whom the Holy Father promoted. He said, he was only happy and would experience ultimate peace when he stayed and slept with the Father at 34 Ambo Street, Calabar. But the moment he got home, he was engulfed in diverse problems. Imagine such a situation, a person who is highly ranked, enjoying all the comforts attached to his profession, yet he was never at peace. This is the one who when he arrives at the office, is saluted by so many other lower ranked officers. The door of his car is opened by someone before he gets in and out and he is accorded other honors associated with his rank and profession and he is well respected, yet he had no peace. Were you to be in such a position would you not be searching for more avenues to command respect and acquire wealth?

THE TRIUNE GOD IS NOW ON EARTH: Beloved, now that you have seen the Holy Father, what else do you need? Many desire to learn more, but I wonder what they are learning. OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS HERE ON EARTH; GOD IS HERE ON EARTH, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT IS ALSO ON EARTH, WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT? PATHETICALLY THE

ENTIRE WORLD IS GAZING AT THE SKY EXPECTING OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST TO CRASHLAND. I AM HOWEVER EXCITED BECAUSE THE ENTIRE BROTHERHOOD IS AWARE OF THIS FACT. THEY CANNOT BE DECEIVED TO LOOK INTO THE SKY, EXPECTING OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST TO COME DOWN AGAIN. MOST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD DO KNOW THAT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST HAS MANIFESTED BUT THEY FIND IT DIFFICULT TO ACCEPT THE TRUTH. BUT SINCE WE ARE AWARE WE ARE ALWAYS ABIDING IN JOY. MANY PEOPLE ARE NOW IN SEARCH OF WHAT TO DO TO EARN A LIVING. THE LAWYER IS IN SEARCH OF CLIENTS, DOCTORS ARE IN SEARCH OF PATIENTS, BUT ALL THEIR EFFORTS ARE IN VAIN. MANY OF THEM HAVE DECIDED TO GET BAPTIZED, FOR THIS IS THE ONLY WAY OUT OF THEIR PROBLEM. EVEN THE GOVERNMENTS OF THE WORLD ARE YIELDING TO THIS FORCE. A brother by name Ita, had testified about the problems that prevail in the governments.

THE TRUTH IS THAT THEY WILL NOT BE IN PEACE EXCEPT THEY SUBMIT TO GOD. CHANGE OF PEOPLE IN POWER IS NEVER THE SOLUTION TO THE EXISTING PROBLEM. THE ULTIMATE WAY WHICH IS THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH IS FOR THEM TO RECOGNIZE GOD, ELSE THE GOVERNMENT CANNOT BE STABLE. NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO, ASIDE FROM KNOWING GOD, THEY WILL STILL REMAIN IN SHAMBLES. THEREFORE WHEN THE GOVERNMENTS CONDUCT ELECTIONS, NEVER BE BOTHERED, FOR SUCH ARE FRUITLESS VENTURES. THE CONDITION FOR STABILITY IS HERE SPELT OUT, AND THAT, IS FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO KNOW AND REVERE

GOD. Many people, when campaigning, do make

promises of turning the economy around if they are voted into power. But the question is can they change their lifestyles? HOW WILL THEY BE ABLE TO BUILD THE ECONOMY IF THEY NEITHER KNOW NOR REVERE GOD? IT IS ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE. A great many people are claiming to be chairmen of Local Government Councils, but what good thing have they done? They rather amass wealth for themselves and leave the masses in utter poverty. ALL THEIR FILTHY PROMISES ARE JUST TO MOTIVATE THE PEOPLE TO VOTE THEM TO ATTAIN GREAT HEIGHTS; AND ONCE THEY ARE THERE, THEY ABANDON ALL THEY HAD PROMISED AND CONCENTRATE ON THEIR PERSONAL WELFARE. THESE PEOPLE DO NOT IN REALITY SEEK THE POSTS BUT THEIR REAL MOTIVE IS TO SEEK FOR THE MONEY DERIVED FROM THESE POSITION. THE NEED TO REVERE GOD:

The worldly people aspire to acquire great wealth. In spite of this, their aspirations avail them nothing. A TRUE BROTHERHOOD IS BETTER PLACED THAN AN AMBITIOUS WORLDLY MAN. TO ATTAIN THIS ENVIABLE STATE YOU MUST BE ABLE TO PRACTICE THE WORD OF GOD IN A STEADFAST WAY, AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS YOU LOVE YOURSELF. The nakedness of the entire world has been exposed. People are now retracing their steps. In times past, it was never an easy task for a king to visit a foreign place or land. But now, however, the kings and paramount rulers are all running down here to be healed by the Holy Father’s touch. The paramount rulers themselves

have become the propagators of the Word of God. THE PROBLEM OF THE ENTIRE WORLD IS THAT, PEOPLE DO NOT WANT TO REVERE GOD, RATHER THEY GIVE REVERENCE TO THE EARTHLY RULERS.

It is very obvious that whenever anybody goes to see any royal highness, he must bow and prostrate to show respect. Even the President, governor and other government officials must show respect to the Royal Highness. These Royal Highnesses are given several honorary names to show signs of dignity. However upon all these esteemed names, they are still coming here to seek salvation. THE IRONY OF THE CASE IS THAT THOSE WHO ARE SO GLORIFIED ARE SERIOUSLY IN NEED OF SALVATION, WHEREAS THE ONE WHO PROVIDES THIS SALVATION IS NOT REVERED.

The necromancers who were hitherto highly regarded are today proved completely incapable. They themselves know they are powerless. They indulge in this act to extort money from others and earn a living. Now they all have yielded to the divine force, hence when you go to consult any necromancer, YOU WILL FIND THE PICTURE OF THE FATHER IN THEIR SHRINES. THIS IS WHAT THEY USE ALONGSIDE THE HOLY OIL TO EFFECT THE HEALING OF THEIR PATIENTS. THE SECRET SOCIETIES HAVE ALL SURRENDERED. THEY HAVE BEEN RENDERED POWERLESS AND SO THEY CANNOT HARM ANYBODY BUT YOU ARE STILL UNDECIDED ABOUT THE ONE YOU WORSHIP. REALIZE HENCEFORTH THAT GOD ALMIGHTY, IS A GOD IN TIME OF NEED, WHENEVER YOU CALL HIM, HE READILY ANSWERS. HE IS AN OMNIPRESENT GOD. WHENEVER YOU NEED HIM JUST GO ON YOUR

KNEES AND CALL ON HIS NAME AND HE WILL ANSWER YOU.

BRETHREN, YOU ARE EXPECTED TO ADHERE STRICTLY TO THE FATHER’S INJUNCTIONS AND TEACHINGS WHEREVER YOU MAY GO. SEEK AFTER HIM AND HE IS EVER READY TO ANSWER YOU. LET THE INJUNCTIONS YOU ARE GIVEN BE BINDING ON YOU. LET THESE INJUNCTIONS GUIDE YOU, AND YOU WILL HAVE NO CAUSE OF STUMBLING ON YOUR WAY. Refer to Luke 1:7-end. The scriptural portion above refers to John the Baptist, how he preached about repentance and the coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ. REFER TO MATTHEW 5:17-20 :

Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. 18: For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 9: Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20: For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

THE GOLDEN RULE:

The above excerpt reveals what constitutes our loophole in life. SHOULD YOU TAKE TO THE LAWS OF MOSES, YOU ARE BUSY PUNISHING YOURSELF. GOD HAS GIVEN US A COMMANDMENT AND A

GOLDEN RULE THAT WE SHOULD LOVE ONE ANOTHER EVEN AS WE DO LOVE OURSELVES. THIS IS THE PARAMOUNT THING AND WHEN YOU UPHOLD IT, YOU HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE LAWS OF MOSES. BELOVED, THE SCRIPTURES HAVE MADE IT CLEAR THAT AT THE APPOINTED TIME, NO ONE SHALL TELL THE OTHER TO KNOW GOD, NOR BEHOLD HIS PRESENCE, FOR ALL SHALL KNOW HIM. NOW THAT YOU HAVE SEEN THE TRUTH, YOU MUST HOLD ON TO IT STEADFASTLY. IT IS BECAUSE OF THIS REVEALED TRUTH THAT THE ENTIRE WORLD IS TROOPING IN HERE TO UPHOLD THE TRUTH, FOR IT IS SAID WHERE THE CARCASS IS THERE ALSO WILL GO THE VULTURES. HAVING KNOWN THIS TRUTH OF LOVE ONE ANOTHER, YOU HAVE TO PRACTICALIZE IT. AND AS THE RULE IMPLIES, ALL CHURCH DENOMINATIONS HAVE SEEN THEIR NAKEDNESS EXPOSED.

None of them have been able to practice love. THE LOVE STRESSED IS NOT THAT WHICH EXISTS BETWEEN A MAN AND A WOMAN OR VICE VERSA. IT IS NOT THE EROTIC KIND OF LOVE. THIS TYPE OF CARNAL LOVE IS PRACTICABLE ONLY IN THE WORLD. This sort of carnal love explains the importance of the scriptural nomination which says that we are conceived abominably and delivered in sin. (Psalm 51:5). Realize that a child conceived abominably is bound to behave irrationally and must pass through agonies of life, and that is exactly what is befalling the entire human race today. All that you do is counted for nought.

THE PARAMOUNT THING IS TO PRACTICE THE DIVINE COMMANDMENT OF LOVING ONE ANOTHER

AND HOLDING ON TO IT. BELOVED, THE FATHER HAS ACCOMPLISHED EVERYTHING. HE HAS KEPT EVERYTHING IN ITS SHIP-SHAPE ORDER. HIS SECOND COMING IS FOR THE UNITY OF THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE. HE HAS COME TO CLEANSE MAN AND MAKE HIM WORTHY OF HIM. THAT IS WHY SINNERS ARE NOT ADMITTED HERE, FOR THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PREVAILING PROBLEMS IN THE WORLD. WE DO NOT NEED A LARGE NUMBER OF PERSONS WHO STILL INDULGE IN SIN, BUT A FEW WHO HAVE FORSAKEN EVIL.

LOVE IS PARAMOUNT. THAT IS WHY THE SCRIPTURES STATE THAT TWO OR THREE PERSONS, IF THEY POSSESS LOVE, ARE MORE THAN A THOUSAND PERSONS.

GOD SOLVES ALL PROBLEMS:IF YOU POSSESS LOVE, YOU CAN NEVER LACK ANYTHING. ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS TO PRAY TO GOD WHENEVER YOU ARE IN NEED, AND HE WILL MEET YOUR NEEDS. IN FACT WHEN YOU ARE IN LACK, DO NOT BOTHER TO GO TO THE GOVERNOR, YOUR EARTHLY PARENTS OR GUARDIANS, BUT DO GO TO GOD, THROUGH PRAYER. ONCE YOU PRAY TO GOD AND PRESENT YOUR PROBLEMS UNTO HIM, HE WIPES AWAY YOUR PROBLEMS AND AVAILS YOU OF WHATEVER YOU DEMANDED. MOST PEOPLE HAVE DERAILED FROM THE PATH OF RECTITUDE BECAUSE THEY DO NOT KNOW THE AVENUE THROUGH WHICH TO CHANNEL THEIR REQUESTS. MANY OF YOU HAVE ESTABLISHED INTIMACY WITH JUJUMEN WITH THE HOPE THAT

THEY WILL HELP SOLVE YOUR PROBLEMS. BUT THE QUESTION IS CAN THEY HELP YOU SOLVE YOUR PROBLEMS? AND THOSE WHO RELY ON THEIR PARENTS FOR SOLUTIONS TO THEIR PROBLEMS, CAN THEIR PARENTS HELP THEM? ALL RIGHT, IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE WITHOUT PARENTS, WHOM WILL YOU RUN TO? THE EASIEST WAY TO GET ANY TYPE OF PROBLEM SOLVED IS TO GO ON YOUR KNEES AND COMMIT EVERYTHING UNTO THE FATHER IN PRAYER. PRAYER IS THE VERITABLE CHANNEL TO COMMUNE WITH THE HOLY FATHER AND HAVE YOUR PROBLEMS SOLVED.

BRETHREN, THERE IS NOTHING TO PANIC ABOUT FOR THE FATHER HAS RECTIFIED EVERY SITUATION. HE HAS ACCOMPLISHED EVERYTHING AND THAT WHICH IS LEFT IS FOR US TO HARKEN TO HIS INJUNCTIONS AND PRACTICE SAME. I HAVE SAID ALREADY THAT THOUGH ONE MAY BE A GOVERNOR, IF HE DOES NOT ABIDE BY THE INJUNCTIONS OF GOD, HE SHOULD BE SHOWN THE WAY OUT OF THIS KINGDOM. IN THIS KINGDOM, DECEITFUL DIGNITARIES ARE NOT WELCOMED. LIARS, IDOLATERS, AND THOSE WHO CANNOT GLORIFY GOD ARE NOT WELCOME EITHER. I HAVE ISSUED YOU THESE INSTRUCTIONS A LONG TIME AND YET YOU STILL CONDONE THESE EVIL TENDENCIES HERE. YOU ARE STILL KNEE DEEP IN DECEITFUL ACTS FROM WHICH YOU HAVE BEEN FORBIDDEN. LOVE IS THE KEY:

IN THIS KINGDOM, THE KEY TO EVERY SUCCESS IS TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER. WHEN YOU LOVE EVERYONE AS YOURSELF, YOU WILL HAVE

NO DIFFICULTY IN LIFE. YOU WILL NEVER BE IN LACK ANYMORE, NEITHER SHALL ANYTHING TROUBLE YOU. THEREFORE THE ONE WHO OPPOSES THIS INJUNCTION, IS NOT WELCOME IN THIS KINGDOM, FOR SUCH A PERSON HAS NO DUTY TO PERFORM HERE. Refer to John 13:34-35.

“A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love, one to another.” Beloved, the above excerpt constitutes the summary of what is obtainable from Genesis to Revelation. WHEN YOU LOVE ONE ANOTHER THEN YOU HAVE DONE THE PARAMOUNT THING. THIS EXPECTED LOVE IS TO CUT ACROSS EVERY PERSON, IRRESPECTIVE OF CREED, BIAS, BELIEF, STATUS AND RACE.

But the reverse is the case today. Man does not even love himself, nor his spouse and children, nor his parents, kinsmen and kindred. Sometimes you claim you do not have a brother or sister, that you are the only person in your family. But the question is, upon all these numerous brethren in the kingdom, how many have you loved? You do not realize that the whole lot of brethren here are your brothers and sisters. You have been overtaken with ignorance, as such, you do not seem to realize this fact. When you claim to be fatherless, it is because you do not recognize the fact that all those who have attained the age of fatherhood are your fathers. Likewise you claim to be motherless. You claim to have no wife, husband, friends, place of origin, but I tell you

that these abound in this kingdom. THE PARAMOUNT THING IS TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS GOD LOVES YOU, BUT NONE HAS COMPLIED. IF THERE IS ANYONE WHO HAS COMPLIED TO THIS INJUNCTION, SUCH WOULD BE FREE FROM PROBLEMS.

It is not every person who is welcomed into Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, but those who can practice the Word of God. However one’s race, place of origin, personality does not matter. THEREFORE ALL THOSE WHO HOLD ON TO FETISH PRACTICES ARE UNBELIEVERS. I DO NOT SHARE IN THEIR BELIEF. WHAT I KNOW EXISTS IS THE LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER, AND THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN CLAIM TO HAVE PRACTICED THE WORD OF GOD WITHOUT LOVING ONE ANOTHER. LOVE IS ALL IN ALL FOR US. IT IS OUR HEADQUARTERS, SUBHEADQUARTERS, AND THERE LIES OUR DESTINY. WHATEVER YOU THINK OF, LOVE IS THE DESTINATION. IF YOU ARE ASKED WHAT BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR IS ALL ABOUT, LET THEM KNOW THAT IT IS LOVE.

Refer to Matthew 12:46-50: “While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without desiring to speak with him. Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee. But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother and my brethren? And he stretched forth his hand towards his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren. For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my

brother, and sister, and mother.” Beloved, the above excerpt is self-explanatory. The Lord Jesus Christ referred to those who practiced His injunctions as His parents and brethren. In your case you would refer to your earthly parents as brethren. This divine knowledge has eluded you.

IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT YOUR CITY, WHAT CAN YOUR CITY DO FOR YOU? ARE YOU NOT AWARE THAT YOUR PEOPLE ARE THE ONES WHO WILL CONSPIRE TO KILL YOU? IT IS YOUR PEOPLE WHO IMPEACH YOU. PROBLEMS EMANATE FROM YOUR CITY. EVEN THOSE YOU CALL FATHER, MOTHER, BRETHREN, ETC. THEY ARE THE ONES THAT SEEK TO KILL YOU. IN SPITE OF THIS YOU ARE STILL HOLDING TIGHTLY ONTO YOUR VILLAGE, AND RELATIONS, AND YOU ARE NEGLECTING GOD. BY SO DOING HAVE YOU REVERED GOD? HAVE YOU ASCRIBED THANKS AND PRAISES, DOMINION TO HIM? IT IS NOT BOWING YOUR HEAD THAT MATTERS. THE GREATEST THING IS TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER EVEN AS GOD HAS LOVED YOU. THE LOVE GOD HAS FOR YOU HAS NO COMPARISON, BUT HAVE YOU EXTENDED THE SAME LOVE TO YOUR WIFE, HUSBAND, CHILDREN, AND DO THEY EXTEND LIKEWISE THEIR LOVE TO YOU? THIS IS WHERE THE WHOLE ISSUE LIES, LOVING ONE ANOTHER AS GOD LOVES YOU.

Beloved God loves us and since He loves us it becomes pertinent that we reciprocate this love unto one another, even as he has enjoined us in the scripture. THE GOLDEN RULE HAS IT THAT YOU LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS YOU LOVE YOURSELF. HERE LIES YOUR DESTINATION. It is likened to a

closing hymn in a church, but you have derailed. YOU ARE MY BRETHREN:

That which is constituted in Matthew 12:46-50 has materialized in this kingdom. AS I AM HERE,***I DO NOT HAVE A FATHER, MOTHER, BROTHERS, OR SISTERS. YOU ARE ALL I HAVE. CONTRARILY YOU HAVE FAILED TO LET GOD BE ALL IN ALL FOR YOU. YOU RATHER CLAIM TO HAVE BROTHERS AND SISTERS, ETC. I AM NOT FROM BIAKPAN, BIASE, NOR CROSS RIVER STATE, NEITHER AM I FROM NIGERIA, AFRICA, NOR EUROPE. YOU ARE MY COUNTRY, BROTHERS, AND SISTERS. THOSE WHO PRACTICE THE GOSPELS ARE ALL IN ALL FOR ME. THIS IS THE HIDDEN KNOWLEDGE YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD BEFORE. THEREFORE YOU MUST KNOW THAT WHOEVER PRACTICES THE WORD OF GOD, THE SAME IS MY BROTHER, SISTER, FATHER, AND MOTHER. Be aware that the various people you hold onto are the ones creating stumbling blocks to you, they are the ones trying to get you out of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. What love have they for you? They have used various odd names to describe BCS, so as to win your heart, but since you do not do or accept such ideas, enmity is created between you

and them. However since the FATHER HAS INTERVENED, NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY, YOU ARE NEITHER MOVED, CHANGED OR DECEIVED, RATHER YOU BLESS THEM WHEN THEY CURSE BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR.

BELOVED, NO MATTER HOW PEOPLE CURSE AND DESPITEFULLY USE YOU, ONCE YOU GIVE THEM SOME MONEY, THEY WILL PRAY TO GOD TO BLESS YOU ABUNDANTLY. NO MATTER WHERE AND WHO YOU ARE, IF YOU CLAIM YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS HATE YOU, JUST TAKE A FAT SUM OF MONEY AND GIVE IT TO THEM, AND THERE AND THEN THEY WILL START PRAISING YOU AND LOVING YOU. BEFORE YOU REALIZE WHAT IS GOING ON ANOTHER REQUEST FOR SUCH MONEY IS FORWARDED TO YOU. If you grant the request, definitely, you will be the only cock to crow. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE WORLD LOVES, NOT YOU PER SE. However in a situation where you send no money or any other thing to them, you will not be regarded as anything. They will not help you when you are in trouble.

When Christ witness Emilia came here newly, she never wanted to wear shoes. Her family members neglected her, but I embraced her. She is my real child. However I encouraged her to be educated and now she is a graduate. Now she is the most educated in her family. THEREFORE YOU HAVE TO LISTEN ATTENTIVELY TO WHATEVER I IMPART TO YOU, FOR SUCH ADMONITIONS ARE MEANT TO GUIDE YOU. BUT IF YOU DO NOT ABIDE BY MY INJUNCTIONS YOU STAND TO GAIN NOTHING. IF CHRIST WITNESS EMILIA LISTENED TO MY INSTRUCTIONS, SHE STANDS TO LOOSE

NOTHING, BUT IF SHE HAD NOT OBEYED MY INSTRUCTIONS AND SHE HAD PROBABLY GONE ASTRAY, THEN HER FAMILY MEMBERS WOULD HAVE HAD THE CHANCE TO LOOK DOWN ON HER.

Another critical example is SISTER ANI. The parents had wished that she should go back to the Father and when she came to me, she was placed in position where she earned a monthly stipend. Initially her parents wondered how she would survive with that, but as they realized that she was cared for, they succumbed. Ani has been sending the same money to her parents every month. The easiest way of gaining the love of the people of the world is to present gifts to them. The world is devoid of real love. The world has erotic love. They are only loving when you give them a cause to. THEREFORE WHEN YOU CLAIM YOU HAVE SOMEONE WHO LOVES YOU, THAT IS ONLY A MISCONCEPTION. Moreso when you claim you have a wife, husband, children, etc., how do they help you? A great many who pass on are buried, and how do you defend your claims of having people. A great many here have children who have excelled academically as lawyers, doctors, engineers, etc., yet they claim to have no money. They believe Obu will be the one to bury their parents. What then is the priority attached to boasting about these careless people around you? BCS IS UNIQUE

The most pathetic situation is that you are penniless, and those you claim to have are not prepared to attend to any of your problems, no matter how minor they are, yet you do not hold on to your God. Here lies your problem. My coming is

not to engage in any mundane act which the church denominations are involved in. In the world when one is not “a financial contributor” member of a church, on that person’s death, others will not want to contribute to his burial. Even if they do, the contribution will be paltry. Has such an act got anything to do with God’s arrangement? BELOVED, YOU NEED NOT TO COMPARE BROTHERHOOD WITH ANY CHURCH DENOMINATION. EVER SINCE YOUR MEMBERSHIP IN THESE CHURCH DENOMINATIONS THAT YOU COMPARE BROTHERHOOD WITH, HAVE THEY HEALED YOU? EVEN WHILE YOU WERE IN YOUR FAMILY, DID YOUR FAMILY PROVIDE ANY HELP TO YOU? THEN, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DISCERN THE DIFFERENCE.

In your former church denomination and even in your family, whatever financial aid is given unto you, is recorded. And once you start working to earn a little allowance, they would start narrating and reminding you of all that they did for you; thus seeking reciprocation. They would tell you how they spent huge sums of money to educate you, they would remind you of the amount which you have not refunded. BE STEADFAST:

HERE IN THIS KINGDOM, IT IS ONLY THOSE WHO ARE STEADFAST, AND DEDICATED TO DIVINE DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES THAT ARE WELCOME. SOME TIME AGO, THE HOLY FATHER CALLED AND ORDAINED A MAN NAMED FELIX MAYER. HE WAS ORDAINED A BISHOP BY THE HOLY FATHER. HE WAS THE PERSON THROUGH WHOM THE FATHER CALLED AND ORDAINED BISHOP JAMES ELLERBE. AND THEREAFTER BISHOP ELLERBE WAS THE FIRST TO CAUSE THE

REGISTRATION OF BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR IN LONDON. BUT WHERE IS THE FELIX MAYER? HE HAS DISAPPEARED INTO THE BLUES BUT BISHOP ELLERBE IS STILL VERY ACTIVE IN THE FATHER’S SERVICE. HE IS TOURING AROUND AFRICA AND OTHER CONTINENTS.

I have advised you to be humble and hold on to the great works of God. You need not relax. These great works do not demand status, stature, financial know-how, educational intelligence or qualification, BUT HUMILITY, STEADFASTNESS, AND TOTAL COMMITMENT. IT IS ERRONEOUS FOR YOU TO SAY, I AM BLACK JUST AS YOU ARE, AND THEREFORE WE ARE BROTHERS. THAT IS NOT CONSIDERED IN THIS SERVICE. I AM NEITHER BLACK NOR WHITE. ONLY THOSE WHO PRACTICE THE GOSPEL ARE MY BROTHERS, SISTERS, MOTHER, FATHER, AND RELATIVES. I HAVE BROUGHT LOVE UNTO THOSE WHO ARE DEVOID OF IT. THE ABORIGINES OF THIS KINGDOM: Those who are not in this kingdom are likened unto dogs who eat of the remnants of your meals. Those of you here eat what you like, the way you feel, for it is your father’s food. You are enjoying because you are properly in the kingdom. I have been telling of the 144, 000 Virgins/ Children of God, and you are living witnesses as to how they are abiding peacefully with each other. They are well accommodated, and catered for. They have no problem whatever. AND MY QUESTION IS WITH THEM AROUND DO I HAVE NO CHILDREN? HAVE THEY IN TURN GOT NO FATHER? Thus I have no problem of Children and they have no problem of

fatherhood. THIS EXPLAINS THE REASON WHY WHEN YOU

WANT TO PRAY, I RECOMMEND YOU DO IT OUTSIDE FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD ARE HERE TO OFFER PRAYERS. ONCE I RING THE BELL, WITH THEM HERE, THE WHOLE WORK IS STARTED. YOU ARE EXPECTED TO DO THE SAME THING OUTSIDE HERE, PROPAGATING THESE GOOD NEWS.

There is a lawyer who came here because he wanted his house to be blessed. I DIRECTED HIM TO THE 144,000 VIRGINS ON WHOM I HAVE BESTOWED MY POWER. AFTER THE HOUSE BLESSING, THE LAWYER HAS SEEN THE WORKS THE FATHER HAS USED THESE CHILDREN TO DO, AND HAS ALSO SHOWN ADEQUATE APPRECIATION. THEY ARE REALLY USED BY THE HOLY FATHER. I HAVE BESTOWED POWER ON THEM. THEIR PRAYERS STRIKE FASTER THAN AN ARROW; AS SUCH WHEN YOU NEED PRAYERS, MEET THEM AND ALL WILL BE WELL. FOR ALL THAT YOU NEED, CONSULT THEM. Moreso, reciprocate their acts by being kind to them. Many have prayed for people and their prayers are not efficacious, but once you have these children pray over you, your problems are all taken away. There is nothing they cannot do for you. They are your children, brothers, sisters, and they are all in all for you. They may come and cook for you, fetch water for you and help you with your other domestic chores. They have come to serve everyone. In turn, we must reciprocate their kind gesture. SHUN FETISHISM:

You should know that anything you do with

necromancers, soothsayers, etc. put you in distress. They will only take your money, and in the end, they cannot help you. IT IS HOWEVER SAID THAT IF YOU DO NOT WORK FOR GOD YOU WILL WORK FOR SATAN. THOSE WHO USE THEIR MONEY TO CONSULT JUJU-MEN ETC ARE SATANIC, THEY ARE OF THE WORLD. THEY ARE VERY IGNORANT OF THE FACT THAT THEIR PROBLEMS COULD BE SOLVED WITH PRAYERS. They spend huge amounts of money on necromancers, for very minor problems, and in the end they incur more problems while the previous problems exist, because it is not solved. Many do not even have time to attend church services, they are busy in search of mundane things. Even the HOLY SPIRIT Church they do not attend. Refer to Revelation 22:11- 21 11He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be fi lthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. 12And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 13I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the fi rst and the last. 14Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. 15For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. 16I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. 17And the Spirit and the bride say, Come.

And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. 18For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.20He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. 21The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

BELOVED THIS IS THE BEGINNING AND THE END OF SCRIPTURES. AMERICANS AND THE ENTIRE WHITE RACE SHALL TROOP IN HERE. REMEMBER THE COUPLE WHO ARE PROFESSORS WHO TESTIFIED HOW THEY HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THIS KINGDOM AND EVEN DREAMT ABOUT IT AND FOR THAT REASON, THEY JOINED SO MANY CHURCHES SINCE THEY CAME TO NIGERIA, ALL IN SEARCH OF THIS KINGDOM. IN SPITE OF THEIR SEARCH, THEY WERE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THIS KINGDOM. BUT ON THEIR BAPTISM INTO BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR, THEY REALIZED THAT THIS IS THE LONG AWAITED KINGDOM. ON FURTHER TESTIMONY, THEY SAID THAT THEY WERE VERY WEALTHY BUT THEY HAD NEGLECTED THEIR HOMETOWN, AND AS SUCH THEY WANT TO STAY HERE PERMANENTLY. BUT I INTERVENED AND I ALERTED THEM OF THE OMNIPRESENT NATURE OF GOD FOR I AM WITH THEM ALWAYS IN THEIR HOME

TOWN. I MADE THEM REALIZE THAT IF THEY DO NOT GO BACK TO THEIR HOME TOWN, THE FATHER’S WORK THERE WILL BE NEGLECTED. I BADE THEM FAREWELL AND INSTRUCTED THEM TO GO AND PRACTICE LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER.

LOVE YE ONE ANOTHER: We the blacks, do not have one iota of love

for the whites, and they in turn have no love for us. Since Esau sold his birth right to Jacob which caused Jacob to receive his blessing, problems started between the whites and the blacks. Esau threatened to kill Jacob, but their mother intervened and alerted Jacob to go into exile. Right from then problems ensued and still continues to date. Beloved, envy not, for it is never a fruitful act. IF ONE IS ENDOWED WITH MORE THINGS THAN YOU ARE, DO NOT BE JEALOUS OF THAT PERSON, ASCRIBE DUE RESPECT AND HONOR TO THAT PERSON. Never put up a deceitful nature against such a person, rather, be truthful to him at all times. NEVER CREATE DIVISION OR SEGREGATION. DO NOT HELP ONLY YOUR BIOLOGICAL BROTHER. INDEED INASMUCH AS WE ARE HERE IN THIS KINGDOM, WE ARE ALL ONE, IRRESPECTIVE OF EACH PERSON’S PLACE OF ORIGIN. HERE THERE IS NO GREEK OR JEW, NO ORPHAN, NO SLAVE OR FREE BORN. WE ARE ALL ONE AND EQUAL. WHEREVER ONE MAY COME FROM, BE ACCOMMODATING AND ACCEPT AND APPRECIATE ALL ETHNIC DIFFERENCES. TAKE EVERYONE AS YOURSELF AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER EVEN AS YOU LOVE YOURSELF. GOD IS WITH US. OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS WITH US, THE HOLY

SPIRIT IS WITH US, DWELLING WITH US. HE IS THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT EXISTED BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD. HE IS THE CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH, AND THE CAUSE OF EVERYTHING THAT EXISTED. HE IS EVER DWELLING WITHIN AND AROUND US AND WILL ABIDE ETERNALLY. THERE IS NO ONE HERE WHOM GOD HAD NOT COMMUNICATED WITH. HE INSTRUCTS EVERYBODY AND TEACHES ALL PROFESSIONS THAT COULD BE TAUGHT. HE HAS IMPARTED ALL WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE TO US, THUS HE HAS BROADENED OUR INTELLECT. BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT YOU HAVE REFUSED TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS YOU ARE ADVISED. INSTEAD OF BEING BENEVOLENT TO PEOPLE, YOU RATHER ENUMERATE THE TROUBLE THE PERSON HAS CAUSED OR HOW HE TREATED YOU WHILE YOU WERE IN POVERTY. WHEN YOU START COUNTING THESE THINGS AGAINST THE PERSON, YOU HAVE FAILED COMPLETELY. THEREFORE YOU MUST NOT IMPUTE SINS TO OTHERS, NO MATTER THE GRAVITY OF THE SINS, RATHER BE KIND TO EVERY ONE, FOR THIS WILL HELP TO UNITE US TOGETHER AND WE WILL BE ONE FOLD, UNDER THE CONTROL OF ONE SHEPHERD. Let my peace and blessing abide with the entire world, now and forever more. Amen. THANK YOU HOLY FATHER.

EVERLASTING GOSPEL:

1A NEW ERAFirst Bible Lesson: Hebrews 8:9-12

“Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.”

Second Bible Lesson: Acts 2:17-21“And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God,

I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

Golden Text Revelation: 11:15 “And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.”

AN END TO SINS Beloved, the above texts form the theme of the opening sermon for THE 1994 AUGUST PENTECOSTAL ASSEMBLY. The problem with you is that even after you might have been told that the things as taught to you in this kingdom are universal and indeed the veritable truth, you have bluntly refused to spread these messages to the entire humanity. A LOT OF THE PEOPLE ARE OF THE BELIEF THAT THIS KINGDOM IS MEANT FOR NIGERIANS AND THE AFRICANS ALONE. IT IS NOT TRUE. THIS IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD, AND INDEED A UNIVERSAL KINGDOM. THIS KINGDOM, YOU SHOULD NOTE, IS NOT MADE UP OF MAN ONLY, RATHER IT IS MADE UP OF ALL THE CREATIONS OF GOD, BOTH ANIMATE AND INANIMATE. THIS KINGDOM HERE ESTABLISHED IS IN CONFIRMATION WITH THE WORDS OF GOD THAT "THE KINGDOMS OF THIS WORLD ARE BECOME-THE KINGDOMS OF OUR LORD, AND OF HIS CHRIST; AND HE SHALL REIGN FOR EVER AND EVER." (Revelation 11:15).

Good enough, we are STARTING THE PENTECOSTAL SESSION WITH THE FATHER, and the Father means love. And where love abounds, everything is provided in abundance. In this kingdom, everything is provided free for all.

Here, equality is the order of the day and peace reigns supreme. The opposite is the case in the worldly kingdom. They fight, quarrel, cheat, oppress, dictate, victimize and embezzle. IN THIS KINGDOM, THE TOOLS OF LEADERSHIP USED BY THE FATHER ARE HUMILITY, LOVE, PEACE, MEEKNESS, GENTLENESS, LONG SUFFERING, PATIENCE, GOODNESS AMONG OTHER VIRTUES. HE DOES NOT DISCRIMINATE AGAINST ANYBODY. ALL ARE GIVEN EQUAL AND FAIR TREATMENT. THE BLIND, DEAF, DUMB, LAME, POOR, NEEDY, OPPRESSED ARE ALL INVITED TO SHARE IN THE JOY OF THIS KINGDOM.

An end has been brought to war, anger, hunger, mourning, division and indeed suffering or hardship of any form. And since you have hearkened to this call, you are expected to be charitable in everything you do as your token of love for one another; and you should take after your Father. A deviation from

this love accounts for the problems of mankind .YOU ARE DUTY BOUND TO SPREAD THE GOOD TIDINGS OF

THIS KINGDOM TO EVERY NOOK AND CRANNY OF THE WORLD. FAILURE TO SPREAD THE GOSPELS ACCOUNTS FOR THE REASON WHY YOU FAIL GENERALLY IN LIFE. IN DISSEMINATING THE WORD OF GOD, DO NOT PREACH ABOUT MAN, MONEY, CHURCH, WEALTH, JUJU; RATHER YOU ARE TO PREACH ABOUT THE KINGDOM OF GOD. TELL THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD THAT THE KINGDOMS OF THIS WORLD HAVE BECOME THE KINGDOM OF OUR GOD AND OF HIS CHRIST. THUS PUTTING AN END TO ALL FORMS OF DIVISION, RANCOR, VIOLENCE, ENMITY, WAR, OPPRESSION, DICTATORSHIP, FRAUD AND HARDSHIP.

This marks an end to sin. No one should commit sin any more. In this kingdom, we are preaching love and, indeed, oneness. We must not only preach but we must practice what we preach. This therefore calls for us to live up to God's desire for mankind. A local adage states that it is easy to aim but difficult to shoot. You may say that you are in the kingdom but are you sure that you have done all that is required of you before you qualify to inherit this kingdom? You are supposed to practice love which is the will of God for all those who should inherit this kingdom. Aside from this you are deceiving yourself.. This love should not be projected as a church, prayer-house, school, club, market, etc. Rather it should be made to form a perfect patch of our lifestyle. It should be clearly seen in us so that all they that see us or hear about us, or even come by us, may truly know us as children of God.

WE SHOULD ALL CRAVE TO BE LIKE OUR FATHER SO THAT THE SCRIPTURES MIGHT BE FULFILLED; FOR IT IS RECORDED IN (1 JOHN 3:2) “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.” Today have you seen Him? Is He not an embodiment of love? If indeed He is; are you like Him? Have you revealed Him as love, peace, charity, mercy, truth, meekness, humility, and goodness to the people of the world?

EXCEPT YOU REVEAL YOUR FATHER TO THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD, THEY WILL NOT KNOW HIM. DIFFERENTLY PUT, LET

YOUR LIFESTYLE REVEAL GOD TO THE WORLD. IF YOU HAVE NOT DONE THIS THEN YOU ARE TOYING WITH YOUR MANDATE.

In this kingdom, you are told that PEACE is used in greeting one another. How can this peace reign when many have not known nor heard about God? Let the people know God as love, peace, joy, oneness and the veritable truth. Brotherhood is unique. It is different from the things and gathering or associations you have known before.

Recall that the church, healing homes; healing, prophesying, and preaching the gospel had long existed before this period or even before this present time. Even the payment of tithes and freewill offering have since been done.

BUT THE WAY THESE THINGS ARE DONE IN THIS KINGDOM IS QUITE DIFFERENT FROM HOW THEY WERE DONE BEFORE. BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS CHRIST, IN CONFIRMATION OF THE SCRIPTURE AS RECORDED AT HEBREWS 8:8-12. IN THIS KINGDOM WE DO NOT PLAY WITH WORDS BUT IT IS A KINGDOM WHERE PRACTICALITY IS THE ORDER OF THE DAY. HERE WE SPREAD THE WORD OF GOD AND WE ALSO PRACTICE WHAT WE TEACH. THE PROPHETS OF OLD WERE KNOWN TO BE PREACHING THE GOSPEL BUT THEY COULD NOT PRACTICE THOSE THINGS THEY TEACH. BUT TODAY, THE REVERSE IS THE CASE. WE TEACH THE WORD OF GOD. AND IF THE LOVE AS PRACTICED HERE IS NOT SEEN IN YOU, THEN YOU DO NOT BELONG HERE.

In this kingdom, we have nothing to do any more with the flesh. We no more fornicate, quarrel, fight, hate, kill or indulge in idolatry. All we do and rejoice in is righteousness. You do not have to do that which contradicts the Word of God. Love, and indeed true love, must glaringly be seen in everything you do. Refer to the First Bible Lesson.

First Bible Lesson: Hebrews 8:9-12“Not according to the covenant that I made with their

fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. For this is the covenant that I will make with the

house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.”AN ERA OF LOVE HAVE YOU NOT SEEN GOD'S PROMISES COMING TO PASS IN OUR TIME? OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST HAD FINISHED HIS ASSIGNMENT OF RECONCILING MAN TO GOD. AND NOW THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS COME AND INSTALLED FREEDOM; AND FORGIVENESS FOR MANKIND, IS NOW THE ORDER OF THE DAY.

No more are your sins remembered. You are no more living in fear, war, rancor, hatred, violence, affliction and hardship of any form. Joy and peace has taken over all miseries encountered by man. THIS IS NO MORE TIME WHEN ANGELS USED TO MEDIATE BETWEEN GOD AND MAN. GOD NOW SPEAKS TO US DIRECTLY WITHOUT THE SERVICE OF AN ANGEL.

It is rather awful and heart-breaking to see that man attributes the glory of the things done by God to themselves . When God heals, man would charge a fee for it, claiming he is the one that did the healing. In fact, man charges fees for anything God passes through him to do, namely: prayers, preaching, rendering of songs etc. This is not supposed to be the case.

You are expected to change from your past life to a new one, backed by righteousness. Give love to all and sundry. Let oneness be seen to be practiced by you at all times. You should in fact be seen as new creatures. When this is done, the people of the world will not fail to praise God.

One of our brothers had the need to claim his child who was staying in the northern part of Nigeria. He was advised that before he could claim the child, he would have to take a legal action. But the brother told his advisers that his faith forbids him from taking any legal action. He told the adviser that he would

claim his child even without taking a legal action. As the Father would normally do His things, the brother claimed his child with ease. This particular action by the brother is highly commendable. That is exactly what is required of all the children of this kingdom.

You have to shun and abstain from evil, knowing fully well the aftermath of being evil. The people of this world have succeeded in constituting themselves into secret societies in the name of churches. This accounts for the reason why they discriminate, hate and give concessional treatment to only their members. Except you are a member in any of the churches, you cannot be fed, no matter how hungry you may be. Except you are a staunch member, you cannot share in their meetings. If they claim to be worshipping God, where in the scripture is it provided that one should love those that share the same beliefs with one? Has this not greatly contradicted the teachings of Christian universal love and oneness? I have brought to you the true teachings of the kingdom of God; and the same love as preached in this kingdom have I practiced; and 1 want you to equally I practice it as I do. Except you practice this love just as I have taught you in this kingdom, people will not know that this is the kingdom of God. And you will bear the outcome of their ignorance. You have no reason whatsoever not to practice love.

AFTER ALL, IT IS ONLY HERE IN THIS KINGDOM THAT PEOPLE ARE FREE TO ENJOY THE LEADERSHIP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO IS THE ONE DOING EVERYTHING FOR US. HE IS THE SOLE PROVIDER OF THE NEEDS OF MANKIND. HE IS THE ONLY TEACHER AND DOER OF EVERYTHING. YOU ARE THEREFORE WRONG TO ARROGATE THE GLORY OF ANYTHING DONE TO YOURSELF. THIS ACCOUNTS FOR THE REASON WHY MANKIND FACES MANY PROBLEMS TODAY. THIS IS NO MORE THE TIME FOR YOU TO BE TAUGHT BY ANY MAN.

IT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT. HE IT IS TO TEACH AND LEAD US ALL TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF TRUTH. HE HAS PROMISED THAT HE WILL NO MORE REMEMBER OUR SINS AND INIQUITIES. THIS HE HAS KEPT. WHY THEN DO YOU IMPUTE SINS TO OTHERS, HATE, QUARREL, CONDEMN AND DISCRIMINATE AMONG OTHER SINS? IF YOU HAVE DONE ALL THESE THINGS, OR EVEN ONE OF IT, NOTE

THAT YOU ARE NOT PRACTICING LOVE; HENCE YOU ARE NOT A TRUE BROTHERHOOD.

IT SERVES YOU NO USEFUL PURPOSE COMING IN HERE TO SCRAMBLE FOR POSITION OR CARVE OUT EMPIRE FOR YOURSELF. THIS IS A KINGDOM WHERE EQUALITY IS THE RULE; AND SAME IS THE WILL OF GOD FOR ALL THE HEIRS AND HEIRESSES OF THIS KINGDOM.

SUBMIT YOURSELF THEREFORE TO THE LEADERSHIP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT; AND YOU WILL NOT ERR. EXCEPT YOU SUBJECT YOURSELF TO THE LEADERSHIP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, YOU CANNOT DO ANYTHING TO PLEASE GOD. Let reference be made to the Second Lesson. Second Bible Lesson: Acts 2:17-21

“And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

Beloved, have you not seen these things coming to pass in our time? THE WILL OF GOD FOR THIS WORLD IS TO UNITE THE WHOLE WORLD INTO ONE FOLD TO BE CONTROLLED BY ONE SHEPHERD. WITHOUT THE SPIRIT OF GOD COMING UPON YOU, YOU CANNOT ALLOW THE WILL OF GOD TO PREVAIL IN YOUR LIFE. EVEN OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST COULD NOT PERFORM ANY TASK UNTIL THE HOLY SPIRIT DESCENDED UPON HIM LIKE A DOVE ON THE DAY OF BAPTISM. THE DISCIPLES COULD NOT ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING UNTIL THEY RECEIVED THE HOLY SPIRIT ON THE DAY OF PENTECOST. TODAY YOU HAVE BEEN ENDOWED WITH POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT TO PROPAGATE THE WORD OF GOD. NO MORE ARE WE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ANY OTHER POWER BUT THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. Have you not seen

the extensive work which God has used mankind to accomplish? But it is rather unfortunate that man attributes the glory of the work which God has used us to accomplish to himself. This to a large extent amounts to ingratitude. We have failed in our duties of giving thanks to God for all that He has done for us where as God has not failed in any of His promises to us.

RECALL THAT IT WAS SAID THAT THOSE WHO CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD SHALL BE SAVED. IS THIS NOT THE CASE TODAY? HAVE YOU MET DISAPPOINTMENT HAVING CALLED UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD? YET HE HAS NEVER CHARGED A FEE FOR THE THINGS HE HAS BEEN DOING FOR US. The problems facing mankind emanate from the fact that we do things which are at variance with the injunctions of God. We have to love everybody even as Our Lord Jesus Christ loves us. Failure to do this means that we have failed in our duties.

Here in this kingdom, WE HAVE JUST ONE BEING LEADING, TEACHING, CHANGING AND DIRECTING. He is THE HOLY SPIRIT HIMSELF; AND NONE OTHER THAN THE HOLY SPIRIT IS EXPECTED TO PERFORM THESE FUNCTIONS; AND IF YOU DO, THEN YOU ARE ENCROACHING ON HIS TERRITORY. IN AMERICA ALMOST EVERYBODY IS ENDOWED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT. Like I had earlier told you, when Brotherhood of the Cross and Star was newly registered in America, the Americans were of the belief that BCS originated from there. And as time went on, a lot of people started embracing Brotherhood. But at a point when the need arose that the members should come to the Headquarters here in Calabar(Africa), they were surprised.

Upon enquiry, they were reliably told that the Headquarters of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is in Nigeria. They then sought to know if there is Brotherhood registered in other developed countries of the World. On finding out that BCS was newly registered in America, the Americans protested and sought that Brotherhood should not be registered in their country; and that if that is done, it will appear as if America was a very insignificant country in the world.

In the process the case was taken to court. The case was a

very serious one. It lasted for a very long time. BUT AT THE APPOINTED TIME, THE FATHER RULED THAT THE CASE SHOULD BE DECIDED IN FAVOR OF BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR. TO PROVE TO YOU THAT ALMOST ALL AMERICANS HAVE THE SPIRIT, ONE OUT OF THE SIXTEEN JUDGES; IN FACT, THE PRESIDING JUDGE OF THE CASE CONFESSED THAT THERE IS A MAN WHO KEPT TELLING HIM TO ALLOW BROTHERHOOD TO OPERATE IN AMERICA; AND THAT THERE IS A VERY IMPORTANT MISSION THAT THE FOLD IS TO ACCOMPLISH IN AMERICA. Who was this judge referring to? Was it not the Holy Spirit? From that day, the case was decided in favor of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star; and up till now, Brotherhood remains registered in America. EVEN THEN, BUT FOR GOD BEING THE DOER OF EVERYTHING IN THIS KINGDOM, BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR WOULD HAVE BEEN BANNED IN AMERICA DUE TO THE ACTIVITIES OF SOME BRETHREN. THIS HAS NOT BEEN THE CASE BECAUSE THE FATHER HAS TAKEN FULL CHARGE OF EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD. Brotherhood is enjoyed in America so much that the whites sent an emissary to come and take me to America. They did not just want me to visit America but that I should come and establish my Headquarters there. They promised to give me money houses and the glory I deserve. They added that it is very shameful that the headquarters of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, the new Kingdom of God, should be in Africa and not in America, in spite of the fact that they brought Christianity to Africa.

Having listened to all their pleas I told them that I cannot go with them to establish this Kingdom in America, and that this is Africa’s turn to host the Holy Spirit. I told them that I have no need for the cars, money and in fact, all the things they promised me. I told them that I cannot mortgage Africa's turn of hosting the Holy Spirit to America for sentiment. I then advised them that they should be coming; and in fact, partake fully in the activities of the kingdom, being that Brotherhood is a universal kingdom. Today there is no gainsaying that the Americans know Brotherhood much more than the Blacks. The whites do not toy with this fold.

HAVING BEEN GIVEN THIS CHANCE TO HOST THE FATHER, IT IS THE DUTY OF THE BLACKS AND INDEED THAT OF ALL AND SUNDRY THAT HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEARKEN TO THIS CALL TO SPREAD THE GOOD TIDINGS OF THIS KINGDOM WHICH BORDERS ON LOVE AND ONENESS. The blacks, hitherto, were viewed as an inferior race such that nothing good was expected to originate from it; but today events have been reversed, the black is now a very serious race to reckon with. I HAVE EXALTED THE BLACK RACE. And for the whites, they must team up to do this work. They are billed to finance the activities of this kingdom.

I know that the blacks do not have the means to sponsor the growth of the works in the kingdom but the Father, at the appointed time will bring the whites to sponsor it. This notwithstanding, do not sit at a place with your hands folded, waiting for the whites to come and do everything for you. Wake up from your slumber and do something in appreciation of what the Father has done for mankind. Rise up to the challenge of taking this gospel of love to all the nooks and crannies of the world .Reference should be made to the Golden Text.Golden Text Revelation: 11:15 “And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.”THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS ON EARTH

Are you not a living witness to the fact that the kingdoms of this world have become the kingdom of our Lord and His Christ? Take what is happening in the United Kingdom as an instance. Who on earth would believe that a religion founded by A BLACK MAN could gain such recognition in United Kingdom? Today in the United Kingdom, Brotherhood is of the Cross and Star is held in high esteem under THE FATHER’S LEADERSHIP.

The Father’s son, Bishop Goring is the Leader’s Representative there; and he has gone into full time service into the Father’s vineyard. He now spreads these good tidings of love on a full time basis. In the United Kingdom, Brotherhood is taking

new dimensions to the Father’s glory. SO IT WAS IN AMERICA. BUT OF LATE THE MEMBERS HAVE STARTED EMBEZZLING MONEY. THEY HAVE NOW FASHIONED OUT A SYSTEM OF DIVERTING FUNDS FOR THEIR PRIVATE USE. This is not what is expected of you. It is rather a complete deviation from the injunctions of God. Whenever you engage in this kind of life you are subjecting yourself to destruction.

The moment you place money and the material things of this world above God, you are bound to fall. I have this to say that in no distant time, all the man-made structures, government, kingdoms, etc. will be brought to an abrupt end; and the kingdom of God will replace them all.

There will be one central government in the world. This you should note has actually gone into play. This is because the kingdoms of this world have become the kingdom of Our Lord and His Christ. All forms of hatred, fighting, wars, lack and rancor have ceased. It is rather disheartening to note that even when God has forgiven your sins, and He has promised to remember them no more, you are still imputing sins on others. The kingdom that Our Lord Jesus Christ talked about in the Lord’s prayer has manifested in our time. Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is the much talked about kingdom of God. It baffles me to know that in spite of the fact that you are opportuned to be in this kingdom, you still engage in diabology and other sinful acts. This kingdom, you should note, has no need for sinners.

It is said that a stroke of the cane is sufficient for the wise. Let those who have ears hear what the Holy Spirit has imparted to the whole world. May God bless His Holy words. Amen THANK YOU HOLY FATHERFather’s Sermon. ( Friday morning 050895)
