MANIFESTATION OF THE SONS OF GOD
BIBLE CLASS LESSONS BY: LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU THE SUPERNATURAL TEACHER, AND SOLE SPIRITUAL HEAD OF THE UNIVERSE BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR

BIBLE WITNESS JOHN 1:10-14 Joh 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. Joh 1:11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. Joh 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Joh 1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

ROMANS 8:19-22 Rom 8:19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. Rom 8:20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, Rom 8:21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. Rom 8:22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.

WE ARE GODS CHILDREN

First Bible Lesson: John 3:8-9 "The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou heareth the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth; so is every on that is born of the Spirit. Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?" Second Bible Lesson: Romans 8:14 "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God." Golden Text: Luke 8:21 "And he answered and said unto them, my mother and my brethren are these which hear the Word of God and do it."

Beloved, the above texts constitute the word of the Father for you in this sermon. What this sermon seeks to highlight is hidden to you and the world in general. The name Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is so wonderful that whenever the people of the world hear you mention they will think you are insane. Following the above texts, unless you are the doer of God's word, you cannot refer to anyone as your brother or sister. A great many of you are not free to recognize one another as brother or sister, simply because you feel that such are not your blood relation. At the moment, people are greatly surprised to see that I CALL EVERYONE MY CHILD, AND THEY CALL ME FATHER. But you should not be surprised about this development because this is the reason why you are advised to stop thinking that you belong to a particular geographical area and that you are a son or daughter of so and so person.(Acts 17:2627/Acts10:34-35). You should accept to do away with tribal tendencies and see everyone as your brother or sister. The scripture has said that the wind blows where it wills, and you hear the sound of it, but do not know whence it comes or whither it goes. All of you who claim to be indigenes of one place or the other are rebels. And this means that no one has started to practice

the Word of God in the actual sense of it. Anyone who is asked to mention the church he attends and he mentions Brotherhood of the Cross and Star as his/her church is to practice the Word of God. Our concern in this gospel is on the first lesson which has it that: the wind blows where it wills, and you hear the sound of it, but do not know from whence it comes or whither it goes. So, it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit. What this kingdom wants is for everyone to see the other as a brother or sister. All those who claim that God has only one child, (Our Lord Jesus Christ), do so because they do not practice the Word of God. As long as you practice the Word of God, you are God's child. Hence all the members of this fold who practice the Word of God are God's children.(Matthew19:28-29/Luke8:21). In fact, those who do not practice the Word of God are the people who profess that Our Lord Jesus Christ is yet to come the second time as He promised. What qualifies us to be God's children is our ability to practice the Word of God. Hence, Christ said, all those who hear my words and practice them are my brothers and my sisters. Ipso Facto we have been joined together as one family of God. The people of the world do not have God as their Father and they have bluntly refused His words. But so long as you have accepted God's word, you are His children and He is your Father.(Matthew19:2829/Luke 8:21). God has not used any of the material things which abound in this world

And so we are God's children. Your earthly father, mother, uncle, sister, brother, aunt, among other blood relations, do not mean anything. But God is the only one who is sufficient to you at all times. And He cannot disappoint you, come what may. Many people get astonished on becoming so close to well meaning people of the kingdom immediately they get baptized into the kingdom, whereas there was no such cordiality even in the families they are born into. The reason for this is not far-fetched. The closeness is not due to the fact that you are filled materially by them, but it is because of the fact that birds of the same feather flock together. WHAT DIFFERENTIATES YOU FROM THE PEOPLE OF
to beget us, INSTEAD HE USES THE WORD TO BEGET US.

THE WORLD IS THAT WHILE YOU ACCEPT THE WORD OF GOD, THEY ON THE OTHER HAND, REJECT IT. AND THAT IS WHY YOU ARE GOD'S CHILDREN. IN THE SAME VEIN, WHAT MAKES YOU SPECIAL FROM YOUR EARTHLY FATHER, MOTHER AND BLOOD RELATIONS IS THE FACT THAT YOU ACCEPT THE WORD OF GOD WHEREAS THEY SCOFF AT THE WORD OF GOD. THE MOMENT THEY RESOLVE TO ACCEPT GOD'S WORDS AS YOU DO, YOU ARE ONE WITH THEM. ALL THOSE WHO SCOFF AT THE WORD OF GOD BELONG TO SATAN WHILE THOSE WHO PRACTICE THE WORDS OF GOD BELONG TO GOD. So stop wondering why you differ from the other members of your family. You have practiced the Word of God. This confirms what Christ told Nicodemus that: "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot enter the kingdom of God."(John 3:3). This shows that your failure to be born anew deprives you of entering this kingdom and belonging to God's family. Take Our Lord Jesus Christ as an example. By the time He was not yet born anew, He had no disciples, and He was alone and empty, but right from the time He was baptized, taken into the wilderness and brought out of it, He started to have disciples and to perform wonderful works. He did these works because of the power which was given Him from above.(Matthew 28:18/John10:34;14:10-12) It is a fact that the activities of the world are earthly and frivolous. That is why you see different tribes founding different kinds of churches for themselves, and there is disintegration in these churches. But there is no such disintegration in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. This accounts for the jealousy, envy and open campaign of calumny from various quarters against B.C.S. Hitherto, you did not know how you became God's child

and brethren in Christ. But the opening address of this Pentecostal has revealed this hidden truth to you. Sometimes, people do wonder why some people belong to Satan. But note from today that anyone who refuses to practice God's words is a child of Satan.(1st John3:7-12). And all those who practice the Word of God are God's children, irrespective of their place of abode and origin.(Acts 10:34-35/John 14:21,23). Hence there is no distinction among such people for they are one. The material things of this world do not qualify you to be God's child. Rather, it is your acceptance to practice the Word of God that qualifies you to be God's child. The preachers who tell their followers to practice what they preach and not what they do are children of Satan, together with their followers. This is so because none of them practices the Word of God.
Isaac represents the fruit of the Word of God for he was begotten by the word, while Ishmael represents the fruit of Abraham's blood.

Isaac who was begotten by the Word of God brought about remarkable things while Ishmael was unable to do any meaningful thing. And this confirms what Christ said through Paul that I do not have hope in that which is seen but in that which is not seen. For the former would pass away while the latter will endure forever. This is why you see the Moslems, Christians, blacks, whites are different from one another. Our Lord Jesus Christ had this knowledge. That was why He said, "I would return to the Father." ALL OF YOU WHO PRACTICE THE WORD OF GOD ARE HEIRS AND WOULD RETURN TO HIM AS CHRIST DID. While those who reject the Word of God are begotten by Satan, and they have no share in this kingdom. As many as practice the Word of God are

with the Father always. Hence, it is the Father that accomplishes everything for them.(John 14:15-23/15:1-6). This wisdom has eluded the entire world. The only one who has this wisdom is Our Lord Jesus Christ. Anyone who practices the Word of God cannot do any wrong, and such a person is spotless. Hence, Christ said: "Verily I say unto you he that heareth my word and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation, but is passed from death unto everlasting life.(John 5:24). He also says,"It is the Spirit that quickeneth, the flesh profiteth nothing, the words that I speak unto you, they are Spirit and they are life." (John 6:63). The above means that we should be ruled over by God since God is the only doer of all things. If we all were to be in the Spirit, all the segregation, hatred, differences, etc. that abound in our different status would have ceased. In the same vein, if people were to be in the Spirit, they would not claim to be natives of certain places. IF YOU ARE IN SPIRIT, YOU WILL KNOW THAT BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR IS FOR EVERYONE THAT IS FROM ABOVE, AND THAT WE ARE ALL ONE IRRESPECTIVE OF OUR PLACES OF ORIGIN.(Hebrews 11:13-16). Read the First Bible Lesson again.

First Bible Lesson: John 3: 8-9 "The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou heareth the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and wither it goeth: so is everyone that is born of the Spirit. Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these

things be?" The fact that Joseph and others were in the flesh necessitated them to instruct the Israelites to unearth and bring home the bones of their dead kinsmen anywhere they met death. (See Genesis 50:25). This is the reason most people today have been taking home the remains of their dead ones from far places. But this is insignificant and means nothing. We are all one and we are from the same place. Carnality causes problems in the world. For instance, when Noah wanted to die He instructed all his people not to marry any strangers, other than their kinsmen and women. This gave birth to racial differences and problems in our society today. This is exactly what is happening in South Africa today. Because the whites have gone there, ruled over the natives, and worst of all marginalized the natives, thus resulting in the present apartheid situation. The Word of God was in the beginning and the word was God. Therefore if we practice the Word of God, we would become one with God and there will be no division of any kind among us. Brotherhood of the Cross and Star has no business with the flesh, and that is why it has overcome the entire world. SOME PEOPLE CLAIM THAT 34 AMBO STREET, CALABAR IS THE HEADQUARTERS. BUT IF THIS IS SO, WHAT THEN ARE 26 MBUKPA ROAD, CALABAR, BIAKPAN, LAGOS, LONDON, ISRAEL, ETC.? DO YOU NOT KNOW THAT AS MANY AS PRACTICE THE WORD OF GOD ARE ONE? You are told to love one another as God loves you. AND
IF WE CAN POSSESS LOVE IN EVERY BETHEL WHERE WE BELONG, WHERE THEN WILL BE THE HEADQUARTERS? Here in

this kingdom, there is no division, for it is the Word of God that does everything. And once you practice the Word of God, you are all one in the Lord. Here in the kingdom, people possess nothing because we are all the children of the Father. There is no preferential treatment as far as this kingdom is concerned. That is why I instruct that everything that is to be shared among you should be shared equally. Here in the kingdom, there is no discrimination among those who practice the Word of God. RATHER, IT IS ONLY THOSE WHO REJECT THE WORD OF GOD THAT SEGREGATE AGAINST THOSE WHO ARE THE HEIRS OF THIS KINGDOM. BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD. Hence you see us boasting about what is not seen since such endures forever. We do not boast about the physical things which are felt and touched for they are temporal in the world. This notion helps Brotherhood of the Cross and Star to penetrate every part of the world. All the buildings in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star do not belong to anyone other than the Father. Hence, you see Brotherhood of the Cross and Star children not having problems because they have one Father and they live in the house owned by their Father. You are told to love all, practice the Word of God, believe in God and fear nothing. If you discriminate against anyone on the basis of age, mode of dressing, educational attainment etc., you are Satan and in fact insane. Our Lord Jesus Christ is a native of Israel. But due to their refusal to adhere to the Word of God, Israel has become the land of Satan.
BELOVED, DO NOT BE DECEIVED BY ANYONE THAT THERE IS ANY OTHER PERSON WHO IS GOD'S CHILD APART FROM THE ONE WHO PRACTICES THE WORD OF GOD. ANYONE WHO

PRACTICES THE WORD OF GOD IS THE BEGOTTEN OF GOD AND EVERY TIME HE IS LED BY GOD AND IPSO FACTO, HE HAS NO PROBLEM IN LIFE. THIS IS BECAUSE THE WORD OF GOD IS IN SUCH PEOPLE AND THEY OFTEN LEAD A PROBLEM-FREE LIFE. IT IS NEITHER MAN NOR SNAKE THAT IS SATAN. INSTEAD IT IS THE PERSON WHO REFUSES GOD'S WORD WHO IS SATAN.

Read the Second Lesson again.

Second Bible Lesson: Romans 8:14 "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God." BELOVED, THE ABOVE IS A DEMONSTRATION OF THE FACT THAT AS MANY AS ARE IN THE SPIRIT AND ABIDE BY GOD'S INJUNCTION OF LOVE ONE ANOTHER, ARE GOD'S CHILDREN. Always be righteous and as far as we are in this stage we have no problems whatsoever in life. DO NOT FORGET
WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS THAT YOU SHOULD ALWAYS OFFER GOOD PRAYERS FOR THOSE WHO HATE YOU.

It is true that once we love one another as God loves us, we will not have any problems whatsoever and all forms of segregation among us will end. YOU ARE ALSO TOLD NOT TO RESIST AN EVIL DOER. You are told to love everybody equally, and to be merciful unto all people all the time. We are all one. Therefore if we believe in the Word of God, we are justified. Some people profess that they would have had a better life if their parents were to be alive. But what about the people you see around you, are they not your parents? Some people also claim that if their fathers were alive, they

would have taken good care of their fathers. BUT THE MAN IN YOUR MIDST, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR HIM? Many people have been preparing palatable meals in anticipation of serving it to Jesus if He comes. But what have they done for the Jesus that is in their midst? God instructs you to love one another as He loves you. Once you embrace love, all would be well with you, together with the people you love. God has not instructed you to love Him only, but to love one another. Therefore as many as keep this injunction are God's children and Christ's brethren. Anything short of this amounts to wasting your time in calling on the name of Jesus. Any person who accepts baptism and is baptized has invariably put on Christ as his armor and he is automatically endowed with the Holy Spirit. And if every member were to be Spirited as it ought to be, ten of this hall would not have accommodated us, especially during Spirited children's fellowship meeting. But what differentiates us is that we have refused to practice the Word of God. Upon the teachings imparted to you by the Father, you are still segregating against people. This shows that you are rebels. You are told not to call anyone teacher, for God is the only teacher, while we are all brethren. You are also told not to call anyone Father, for the Holy Spirit alone is the Father, while we are all brethren. You are told not to call anyone Lord, for Christ alone is your Lord, and we are brethren. If we adhere to the Word of God, we will become the children of God and the brethren of Christ and that is why we are free. The word is with God and the word is God. Hence, Christ said: "I and my father are one." (John 10:30). Once you practice the Word of God, you are one with Him. The

scripture has it that anyone who rejects the teachings of Christ cannot have Christ. But anyone who accepts the teachings of Christ, same has the Father and the Son. GOD IS THE TEACHER AND LEADER. Our duty is to emulate Him and follow His footprints. So stop discriminating against people and accept the Word of God, for by so doing you are God's child. He has said thus: "Not everyone that saith unto me Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven." Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have we not cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And I then will I profess unto them, I never knew you, depart from me, ye workers of iniquity. (Matthew 7:21-23). The question now is, who are those who practice what the Father likes? Who are His brothers, sisters, mother, and father? Read the Golden Text again. Golden Text: Luke 8:21 "And he answered and said unto them, my mother and my brethren are those who hear the Word of God and do it." Beloved, the statement above was given by Christ. In fact, whatever you may do, it does not matter how charitable you are to the destitute, if you do not practice the Word of God, your works do not avail you anything. SO WHAT MAKES US GOD'S CHILDREN AND CHRIST'S BRETHREN. IT IS OUR WILLINGNESS TO BELIEVE IN GOD AND TO PRACTICE HIS WORD. AND ANYTIME YOU SCOFF AT THE TEACHINGS OF CHRIST,

YOU HAVE DERAILED FROM THE PATH OF RECTITUDE. Recall when John, Christ's disciple, told Christ that he saw a certain man casting out demons in the name of Christ, and he forbade him? Christ told him, "Forbid him not, for he who is not against me is with me." See (Mark 9:40). The above shows that as many as practice the word of Christ are His brethren, sisters, father, and mother. It is sheer foolishness for people to erect buildings and call such buildings the house of God, Christ, Jehovah, etc. THE FACT IS THAT GOD LIVES IN THE BODY OF THOSE WHO OBEY HIM.(John14:John 14:21-23). AND HE BEGETS ONLY THOSE WHO PRACTICE HIS WORD.(James 1:18). It is said that one stroke of the cane is sufficient for the wise. Let those who have ears, hear. May God bless His Holy Words. A-men. Thank you Holy Father Father. REFERENCE: Everlasting Gospel By Leader Olumba Olumba Obu on WE ARE GOD'S CHILDREN From: "Herald of the New Kingdom" December 1993 Pages: 16 - 18.

HIGHLIGHTS:
EVERYWHERE YOU GO TO, THE GLORY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IS MANIFESTED. ARE YOU NOT EVEN SURPRISED AT

THIS IS THE MOTHER OF ALL SERMONS. IT IS UNIQUE.

THIS WONDERFUL SERMON?

THE ABODE OF GOD

FIRST BIBLE LESSON: 1 CORINTHIANS 6:14 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power. SECOND BIBLE LESSON: JOHN 17:2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. GOLDEN TEXT: 1 CORINTHIANS 3:9 For we are laborers together with God: ye are Gods husbandry, ye are Gods building.

THE REAL HOUSE OF GOD: Dear Brethren, I am giving you this sermon with all amounts of pity, and my eyes are filled with tears. There is much complaint and murmuring everywhere. Sadness has so much increased. What we are going to reveal has eaten up the very existence of all human beings. Nobody in the entire world has realized this truth. This situation is really pathetic. NO ONE HAS PRACTICALLY REALIZED THAT HUMAN BEINGS ARE THE HOUSES OF THE ALMIGHTY GOD. HE HAS BUILT YOU AS HIS RESIDENCE. ADAM WAS THE PHYSICAL HOUSE OF GOD WHICH HE BUILT FOR HIMSELF, BUT ADAM DEFILED THIS HOUSE. So God had to abandon it. Adam was that Garden of Eden which was also abandoned. Right now, God has no place of abode among men. This is because from the oldest to the youngest persons, all men are defiled. After Adam and Eve had defiled the house of God on earth, God decided never to visit the earth again. AS A

RESULT OF THIS, HUMAN BEINGS SUFFERED FROM PLAGUES, AND TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS UNTIL THE ADVENT OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WHO CAME TO SHED HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD FOR THE TOTAL REMISSION OF OUR SINS. IT WAS AFTER THIS PURIFICATION OF THE HOUSE OF GOD THAT THE ALMIGHTY DECIDED TO COME DOWN. Even our Lord Jesus Christ had no house because every human being was defiled. That was why when He, Christ, was confronted by a man who wanted to follow Him, He reminded the man that: Foxes have holes, and birds have their nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. (Luke 9:58). THIS SERMON HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MONEY, WEALTH, WISDOM, OR ANY OTHER MUNDANE ACQUISITION, BUT THE HOUSE OF GOD. IT ALSO PORTRAYS HUMAN BEINGS AS THE DWELLING PLACE OF GOD, THE GARDEN OF EDEN. MAN IS ALSO GODS HUSBANDRY. He did not create Adam and Eve for fornication or for any other sin. He built them just as we human beings build our houses. A house therefore cannot decide for its own self because you build it for a special purpose, and that is to live in it. It is in your house that you stay to plan on what to do. Unfortunately, Adam and Eve deprived God of His dwelling place by defiling the house that God built. Before they defiled the house of God, God used to perform wonders through them. They were not aware of the fact that God was using them to accomplish many things. When they derailed by eating the forbidden fruit, the abode of God in them was lost. Upon all the pleading and crying of Adam, God never went into the house again. God does not dwell in a filthy environment. He has nothing to do with such a place.

Now who would have told Adam that he was the house of God when He, God, had abandoned him. Who would have told Cain and Abel not to commit fornication since they were empty buildings? What about Enoch, Melchizedec and others who came along later. They were all victims of circumstances because they did not know. Have you seen how THE GREAT FALL OF HUMANITY happened? This is why I give you this gospel with tears in my eyes. I do not know what to do with this world anymore, because it seems all that man is out to do is to defile Gods abode. This is shown in the rate at which even little children get involved in fornication and adultery, thereby defiling the house of God. WHERE THEN DO YOU WANT GOD TO DWELL? HE HAS COME; BUT NO HOUSE IS WORTHY FOR HIM TO SETTLE IN. SOME OF YOU WHO WISH TO DO THIS OR THAT FOR GOD KNOW THAT YOU HAVE NOTHING TO DO THAN TO PURIFY HIS HOUSE FOR HIM TO DWELL IN. YOU ARE GODS HOUSE. YOU ARE GODS HUSBANDRY AND GODS DWELLING PLACE. YOUR ONLY WORK THEREFORE IS TO KEEP HIS HOUSE CLEAN. IF YOU KEEP HIS HOUSE CLEAN, HE ENTERS INTO YOU AND ACCOMPLISHES GREAT WORKS THROUGH YOU AND FOR YOU. YOU ARE HIS TOOL WITH WHICH HE WORKS.

THE SITUATION COULD BE COMPARED TO A TORTOISE WHICH MOVES ABOUT WITH ITS OWN HOUSE. MAN IS THE HOUSE WHERE THE HOLY SPIRIT DWELLS AND MOVES ABOUT. THE MOMENT YOU DEFILE THAT HOUSE OF GOD YOU ARE FINISHED. YOU ARE WORTHLESS. I AM WEEPING SERIOUSLY FOR THIS GENERATION.

SINCE 1954 THE TRUE TEACHINGS OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST HAS CONTINUOUSLY BEEN PREACHED IN THE BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR WORLD.
IF THE PARENTS OF THE CHILDREN BORN SINCE THEN HAD COME BY THIS TRUTH AND PRACTICED THESE TEACHINGS, THE CHILDREN WOULD NOW BE WORTHY VESSELS OF GOD. GOD WOULD HAVE HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE AND HOUSES BY NOW. All parents are busy training their children for higher education, business, and marriage. Nothing is considered about keeping the house of God clean. For that reason, people are defiled from childhood to adulthood. THEN, THE QUESTION IS WHERE IS THE GARDEN OF EDEN? YOU ARE ALL WITNESSES THAT ANY PLACE A MAN VISITS, THE FIRST THING HE REQUEST FOR IS WHERE TO STAY DURING THE PERIOD OF HIS STAY. YOU ALWAYS HAVE A PLAN TO GET A DWELLING PLACE AS A TOP PRIORITY IN YOUR LIFE. IF YOU AS AN ORDINARY HUMAN BEING CAN HAVE SUCH A PLAN FOR YOURSELF, HOW MUCH MORE GOD? Have you stopped for one second to ask yourself where God dwells? Is God not worthy of a dwelling place? YOU ARE HIS HOUSE, GARDEN AND HUSBANDRY. ALL THAT GOD HAS AS HIS PROPERTY IS VESTED IN YOU. NOW THAT YOU HAVE DEFILED THE HOUSE OF GOD WHERE DO YOU WANT

HIM TO DWELL WHEN YOU KNOW QUITE WELL THAT HE ABHORS FILTH? WHERE DO YOU WANT HIM TO STORE HIS TOOLS? WHAT DO YOU EXPECT GOD TO DO? He instructed Adam and Eve to eat of every other fruit except the forbidden fruit. When Adam and Eve disobeyed God, we blame them, and we boast that we would have done better if given the opportunity. Is the whole thing not repeating itself in this generation? It is even worse today. Right now children, five years old have already been defiled. At the age of ten such children have already graduated into real filth and worthlessness. Since God did not condone Adam and Eve, do you think He can condone those of you in this generation? Have you not seen Gods anger displayed in the rate of deaths, sufferings, sicknesses, poverty and diverse tribulations all over the world. These are the direct results of mans pollution of Gods house. The people today say that God does not exist; or that He does not love them. This is so because all His houses have been defiled by them. God has no place to dwell. So, because of this they neither see His presence nor experience His love. GOD HAS NO OTHER PARTNER BUT MAN. HE DOES NOT LIVE IN ANY OTHER THING BUT IN HUMAN BEING. HOW THEN CAN YOU FEEL HIS PRESENCE OR HIS LOVE, WHEN YOU HAVE DRIVEN HIM OUT OF YOUR BODY WHICH IS HIS HOUSE? GOD MOVES WITH US TO ANY PLACE WE MAY GO TO. HE DOES NOT EXIST IN VACUUM. IN A SITUATION IN WHICH THERE IS NO REAL HOUSE (BODY) TO ACCOMMODATE GOD, IT APPEARS AS IF GOD DOES NOT EXIST. WHENEVER A MAN IS PRESENT, THE WORK OF GOD WILL SURELY MANIFEST.

I am only consoled in the sense that the situation is even better than in the era of Elijah who lamented of loneliness. In this era, there are still many virgins existing on the earth plane. HOWEVER MY EMPHASIS IS ON THE MEMBERS OF THIS FOLD OF BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR WHO HAVE HEARD DAILY FROM THE FATHER THAT MAN IS THE ONLY HOUSE THAT GOD HAS. I PITY YOU MEMBERS SO MUCH; FOR WHEN YOU HEAR THESE INSTRUCTIONS YOU LAUGH OVER THEM. YOUR FLESH WAS MADE FOR GOD TO RULE OVER. YOUR FLESH, BLOOD, BONES, LIFE AND, IN FACT, YOUR ENTIRE BODY, IS FOR GOD. IN THIS WAY, EVERLASTING LIFE COULD REACH ALL OTHER HUMAN BEINGS IN THE UNIVERSE. 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 DO NOTHING. (John 15:5). In churches, schools, towns, market squares and all over the world fornication is at its peak. The entire world is filled with fornicators. Where do you expect God to live? Remember what Our Lord Jesus Christ said: As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. (John 17:2). Where are the flesh that He has to rule over in order to change man for His divine purpose? Can you now see that these things that make you to laugh, rejoice, and be happy are the very cause of Gods sadness? That same thing is the cause of all your sufferings. Whenever you mate with a woman, both of you are defiled before God. His house is therefore soiled. THIS IS WHY THE WHOLE WORLD IS LAMENTING ABOUT THE ABSENCE OF GOD. YOU ARE GODS OFFICE, AND HOUSE. HE MADE IT TO SUIT HIS PURPOSE

FOR CREATING MAN. THAT WAS WHY HE SAID: LET US MAKE MAN IN OUR OWN IMAGE AFTER OUR OWN LIKENESS: AND LET THEM HAVE DOMINION OVER THE FISH OF THE SEA, AND OVER THE FOWL OF THE AIR, AND OVER THE CATTLE, AND OVER ALL THE EARTH, AND OVER EVERY CREEPING THING THAT CREEPETH UPON THE EARTH. (Genesis 1:26). On the contrary, man has hopelessly defiled and destroyed the house of God. When Adam and Eve committed fornication there was no other sacrifice acceptable to God to atone for this act. ONLY THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WAS TO BE USED TO WASH AWAY THEIR SIN. NOW THAT YOU ARE STILL COMMITTING FORNICATION WHAT ELSE WOULD BE USED TO WASH YOUR SIN? YOU CAN RECALL THAT WHEN JOHN THE BAPTIST CAME HE NEITHER MARRIED NOR COMMITTED FORNICATION. HE ATE NOTHING COOKED NOR DRANK ANY STRONG DRINK. HE KEPT HIMSELF AS THE HOUSE OF GOD, AND THE GARDEN OF EDEN. ALL THE WORKS DONE WERE ACTUALLY NOT DONE BY JOHN BUT BY GOD, WHO DID ALL HIS WORK THROUGH JOHN. SINCE JOHN ALLOWED HIMSELF TO BE USED BY GOD, HE WAS USED BY GOD TO WROUGHT GREAT DEEDS. THAT IS WHY OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST SAID: VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, AMONG THEM THAT ARE BORN OF WOMEN, THERE HATH NOT RISEN A GREATER THAN JOHN THE BAPTIST: NOTWITHSTANDING HE THAT IS LEAST IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS GREATER THAN HE. (Matthew 11:11). Since He is a merciful Master, those twelve Apostles who followed Him forsook their wives for three and a half years. By that single act they were consecrated. That was

why immediately after the resurrection they were baptized in the Holy Spirit. From the day they received the Holy Ghost none of them defiled himself again. For that reason God used them to accomplish great works; and whatever they commanded in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ, came to manifestation. Even Paul who did not see Our Lord Jesus Christ physically refrained from fornication, adultery, and other sins from the day the Spirit caught him on the way to Damascus. Unfortunately, after Peter and the other Apostles died, fornication continued among the unbelievers. So, once again, there was no more, even a single house, clean enough for God to dwell among men. That is why many claim that the Holy Spirit ceased to exist with the exit of the Apostles of Christ. Where do you want Him to live, when all His houses are defiled? I have not made mention of those religions which believe in marrying several wives thereby legalizing fornication and adultery. Such people are only seeking for death and perdition. THE GENERATION OF REVELATION: When these religions started, the Holy Spirit was not yet personified. It was the era of other personalities. NOW IS THE ERA OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND WHAT WOULD YOU GIVE AS YOUR EXCUSE? THIS IS THE GENERATION OF REVELATIONS AND THE LAST ADVENT. THIS IS THE ERA IN WHICH GOD HAS COME TO REVEAL HIS GLORY AND HIS KINGDOM. If a fornicator tells you he can achieve anything good, do not believe him. A fornicator had defiled the house of God, and is therefore, an abandoned property. Nothing good can

come from such a person. All he does is to perpetuate evil. All the evil spirits dwell in him. They use him to tell lies and commit all other vices. Now it is not too late to change. AS HE, GOD, THE OWNER OF THE HOUSE HAS COME, REPENT, AND PURIFY HIS HOUSE FOR HIM TO COME AND DWELL IN. THE SITUATION IS REALLY PATHETIC. THE FATHER IS THE CONTROLLER OF THE KEY; AND IF HE DOES NOT DO ANYTHING, NO PERSON CAN DO IT. WE HAVE EYES BUT WE CANNOT SEE, AND EARS BUT WE CANNOT HEAR. HOWEVER WHENEVER HE ENTERS INTO THE HOUSE, HE ACTIVATES ALL THE AREAS TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. AS FAR AS HE IS NOT RESIDING IN YOU ALL YOUR EFFORTS ARE USELESS AND VOID. All your thoughts and plans about building a cathedral, buying a car and buying clothes for God are not necessary, so long as you are filthy. FIRST OF ALL, SANCTIFY AND PURIFY YOUR BODY FOR GOD TO DWELL IN BEFORE YOU CAN THINK OF OTHER THINGS. ALL THE ANGELS ARE LIVING IN MAN, AND THEY WORK THROUGH MAN. ALL POWERS, WISDOM AND OTHER CREATIONS OF GOD ARE IN MAN. NOW HAS MAN NOT DEFILED THE DWELLING PLACE OF GOD? When God did not detect black spots in Adam and Eve, they were allowed to inhabit the Garden of Eden. I know a lot of members in here in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star have started understanding themselves. THE ONLY WAY TO SERVE GOD IS BY ABSTAINING FROM FORNICATION, AND ANY OTHER ACT WHICH CAN DEFILE YOU. DO YOU THINK THERE IS ANYTHING WHICH YOU CAN DO FOR GOD? YOU HAVE NO POWER TO DO ANYTHING EXCEPT GOD DWELLS IN YOU. GOD IS THE ONLY ONE DOING ALL THE WORK ALL

OVER THE WORLD. IT IS ONLY THE KING WHO KNOWS THE SECRET OF HIS KINGDOM. Upon all the churches, universities, scientist, and others who claim to be wise and knowledgeable in all things, have you known this fact that man is the house and farm of God, and this house must be kept completely clean? In spite of the dramatic increase in the population of the whole world, they are all defiled. All the churches are doing nothing good because all the people are defiled. MAN AND GOD MOVE TOGETHER TO WROUGHT GREAT WORKS WHEN THE BODY OF THE MAN IS NOT DEFILED. IF MANKIND HAD KNOWN THIS AND SANCTIFIED HIMSELF, THEN PEACE, LOVE, PROSPERITY, AND GOODNESS WOULD HAVE DESCENDED ON ALL THE CREATIONS OF GOD. AN EVIL BODY BEGETS EVIL: ALL YOUR THOUGHTS AND WORDS ARE HOLY WHEN GOD IS DWELLING IN YOU. IF YOU ARE SANCTIFIED YOU WOULD ALWAYS BE HEALTHY. THOSE WHO HAVE DEFILED THEIR BODIES ARE ALWAYS THINKING AND SPEAKING EVIL BECAUSE WHAT IS IN THEM IS THE EVIL SPIRIT. SUCH PEOPLE CAN NEVER SEE NOR BELIEVE THAT GOD EXISTS ANYWHERE. THEY WOULD ALWAYS SEE DEATH, MERMAIDS, GHOSTS, AND DEMONS AT ALL TIMES EVEN IN THEIR SLEEP BECAUSE THEIR BODIES ARE DEFILED. SO GOD HAS DEPARTED FROM SUCH HOUSES, AND NOTHING GODLY CAN COME OUT FROM THERE. THE SOLUTION: Anyway, it is very easy for you to invite God back into you by forsaking the act of fornication. The only thing God wants from you is His house which is your body. He does not need your cars, houses, money, or any form of mundane

wealth. Have you not seen the position of the world due to its ignorance? God does not want you to sing, dance, preach or do anything in His name as far as you are still defiled and filthy. Purify yourself first. When God comes in, and lives in you, you will surely bear fruits of repentance. You will be joyous at all times. God has kept all things in their proper positions. He does His things at the appropriate time. Wherever God places you, be content with such a position because you cannot change the situation, and you cannot make any suggestion to God. THAT IS WHY I HAVE COMMANDED THAT THE WONDERFUL CHILD IN ZAIRE BE BROUGHT TO ME WITHOUT DELAY. ANY PERSON WHO HAS GIVEN HIS BODY TO GOD IS ABOVE ALL HUMAN BEING. NO HUMAN BEING CAN COMPARE HIMSELF TO SUCH A PERSON BECAUSE GOD IS IN HIM.

IN THE ERA OF JOHN THE BAPTIST, WHO WAS LIKE HIM? ALSO NO ONE COULD COMPARE HIMSELF WITH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. THIS IS BECAUSE GOD WAS IN THEM, AND HE DID ALL THE WONDERFUL WORKS.
YOU HAVE PROBLEMS AFTER YOU HAVE PRAYED BECAUSE YOUR BODY WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO BE GODS HOUSE IS EMPTY. IF GOD DWELLS IN YOU, YOU WOULD NOT LACK ANY GOOD THING. You can see that the entire world is blind. Can you not see that the entire world is ignorant and stupid? Has it not dawned on you now that nobody knows the way of truth in the world? Their doctrine has it that God is a Spirit in the sky and in the high heavens. Well, you blind teacher, know right now that GOD IS DWELLING IN MAN. SO LONG AS YOU GIVE YOUR BODY TO HIM YOU HAVE AUTOMATICALLY BECOME THE

GARDEN OF EDEN AND THE ABODE OF GOD WHO DWELLS IN YOU. WHATEVER IS DONE WITHOUT GOD IS COUNTERFEIT. ALL THE WORKS OF THE WORLD, WITHOUT GOD, ARE CONDEMNED. WITHOUT GOD NONE CAN BE SAVED. NO PEACE, NO RIGHTEOUSNESS, OR NO GOODNESS IS FOUND ON EARTH WITHOUT GOD. THIS IS BECAUSE IT IS WRITTEN: Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it, and except the Lord watches over the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. (Psalm 127:1). STOP BLEACHING YOUR SKIN WITH ALL SORTS OF COSMETICS. IT IS SAID: HOWBEIT, THE MOST HIGH DWELLETH NOT IN TEMPLES BUILT BY HANDS; AS SAITH THE PROPHET, HEAVEN IS MY THRONE AND THE EARTH IS MY FOOTSTOOL; WHAT HOUSE WILL YE BUILD ME? SAITH THE LORD: OR WHAT IS THE PLACE OF MY REST? HATH NOT MY HAND MADE ALL THESE THINGS? (Acts 7:48-50). GOD DOES NOT DWELL IN A HOUSE BUILT BY MAN. THE HEAVENS IS GODS THRONE WHILE THE EARTH IS HIS FOOTSTOOL. THEREFORE WHAT TYPE OF HOUSE CAN YOU BUILD FOR THE ALMIGHTY GOD? WERE ALL THESE THINGS NOT MADE BY HIM? YOU STUBBORN AND UNCIRCUMCISED IN THE HEART. YOU REFUSE TO OPEN YOUR EARS TO LISTEN, AND YOU HAVE HARDENED YOUR HEART AS YOU CONTINUALLY FIGHT AGAINST THE WILL OF GOD. This sermon is a lamentation for the inhabitants of the world. Repeat the First Bible Lesson. FIRST BIBLE LESSON: 1 CORINTHIANS 6:14 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power. God did not make this flesh for fornication and adultery but for Him to dwell and rule. If God is possessing and

leading you, you cannot be old. You would neither be in lack, suffer from hunger, nor perish, for God will take you to the land of Promise. OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST DID NOT HAVE PROBLEMS BECAUSE HE WAS ONE WITH THE FATHER. HE EVEN MADE THIS KNOWN TO PEOPLE: I AND MY FATHER ARE ONE. (John 10:30). OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WAS THE GARDEN OF EDEN WHERE EVERYTHING WAS IN ABUNDANCE. THAT WAS WHY EVERY WORD HE SAID MANIFESTED. DID PEOPLE KNOW THAT HE WAS GOD? HE ALSO MADE IT CLEAR THAT EVERY WORD SPOKEN BY HIM WAS ACTUALLY SPOKEN BY GOD, AND THAT HE COULD DO NOTHING OF HIMSELF. THAT IS TRUE, AND IT WAS HOW GOD PLANNED FOR ALL HUMAN BEINGS. Even as He told Adam that since they defiled the house He would reduce them to the dust, and they would be disgraced. Have you not seen how the world is suffering, the world is disgraced and the world is being demoted? No matter the status of a person, he is in the end disgraced by forces beyond his control. When you have defiled the temple of God (your body), and you are consequently disgraced, do not turn around to weep because you are good for nothing. I HAVE BEEN TELLING PEOPLE THAT MY MISSION ON EARTH IS REALLY GREAT, AND THAT I HAVE NOT STARTED TO UNFOLD IT TO THE WORLD. MY WORDS ARE TRUE AND ANYONE WHO PRACTICES MY WORDS IS SAVED. ANYONE WHO REJECTS MY WORDS IS SURELY HEADING FOR DAMNATION AND PERDITION. IF YOU HAD KNOWN THAT GOD DWELLS IN YOUR CHILDREN, YOU WOULD HAVE BROUGHT THEM UP IN THE WAY OF THE LORD SO THAT THEY WOULD BE GREAT IN

SPIRIT.

Instead you are solely concerned with their academic qualification. Is that what they came into this world to do? The moment the spirit of error takes possession of you, all that you do becomes evil. There were many who were strictly restricted from committing fornication and immorality. In the olden days, in Israel anyone caught in the act was stoned to death instantly. In those days the consequence for fornication was not explained to them as it is done today. It was not the tradition of God to communicate to them in plain terms but to teach them in parables. This is the fullness of time, and this is also a very lucky generation. It was written of this era that when the Comforter, even the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name, He shall teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance whatsoever I have said unto you, (John 14:26). YOU ARE THE KINGDOM OF GOD. THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE AND ALL THE CREATIONS OF GOD ARE IN YOU. ALL THE COUNTRIES AND THEIR INHABITANTS ARE IN MAN. GOD HAS NO OTHER BANK; FOR ALL HIS TREASURES ARE HIDDEN IN MAN. THE WEALTH, WISDOM, AND EVERY OTHER THING YOU NEED ARE STORED IN YOU BY GOD. DO NOT BE SURPRISED TO HEAR THIS BECAUSE HUMAN BEINGS ARE THE GARDEN OF EDEN. YOU DO NOT ACQUIRE WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE BECAUSE THESE DWELL WITHIN YOU AND YOU ARE WITH GOD ALWAYS. It is said that half baked education is very dangerous; for if Adam had known this fact, he would not have suffered. He would have taught the others who came after him. People claim that man is suffering like the animals. Is man not an animal? What does man know? What do you think the

whites know in the real sense of it? THE RETURN O F MAN TO THE GARDEN OF EDEN: THIS SERMON WILL BE PRINTED IN SEVERAL MILLION COPIES, AND CIRCULATED THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE. WE ARE NOW IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN. HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ME PUTTING WATER IN THE FRIDGE? THE COLD WATER FROM THE FRIDGE IS POISONOUS FOR YOUR BODY. THIS SERMON IS GOING TO SHAKE THE WORLD. CAN YOU IMAGINE SOMEONE WHO HAS NOT BEEN TO COLLEGE, THE UNIVERSITY, AND HE HAS NOT EVEN TRAVELED TO THE CITIES OF THE WORLD YET HE CAN GIVE THIS TYPE OF A LECTURE? THAT IS WHY I SAY THAT I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THAT YOU WITNESS BUT THE HOLY FATHER IS DOING HIS WORK. WHEN YOU SAY, OLUMBA IS DOING THE WORK, I DENY IT OUTRIGHT. INSTEAD, I WOULD SAY THAT IT IS THE FATHER WHO IS RESPONSIBLE. What you are seeing is just His house, the Garden of Eden. A Reverend gentleman testified that he has books in his library covering religion, philosophy; and these books are worth thousands of Naira, yet he does not know how to worship God. So, I asked him of what good the books are to him? He still eats meat and fish and he wants to marry. Out of ignorance, people pray to God to save them. From where will he help you if you have defiled His house? DURING THE ADVENT OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, HE WAS ACCUSED OF RATING HIMSELF WITH GOD. THIS WAS DUE TO THE MIGHTY WORKS GOD WROUGHT THROUGH HIM. NOW WHY CAN ANY PERSON NOT DO THE SAME WORKS OR EVEN MORE? YOU MEMBERS GO ABOUT SINGING AND PREACHING THAT LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU IS DOING THESE WONDERFUL WORKS. I DO NOT

AGREE WITH YOU. RATHER I CONTINUE TO SAY THAT IT IS THE FATHER WHO IS RESPONSIBLE. HAVE YOU EVER SEEN OR HEARD OF ANY HUMAN BEING WHO HAD DONE SUCH WORKS AS WITNESSED IN BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR? I AM ALSO A WITNESS TO THE DOER OF THESE WORKS, WHO IS THE FATHER. ONCE THE FATHER ENTERS THE HOUSE HE IS PEACE, LOVE, MERCY, ENDURANCE, PATIENCE, MEEKNESS, WEALTH, LIFE, RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND THE GOOD THINGS. HE IS THE ONE WHO CAN GIVE YOU ETERNAL LIFE. I HAVE SAID THAT MY WORK IS TO CHANGE YOU FROM EVIL TO RIGHTEOUSNESS. ONCE THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS TAKEN POSSESSION OF YOUR BODY YOU DO NOT GO BACK TO ENGAGE IN EVIL ANYMORE. If you dare do that, all evil plans and acts would manifest in you. You would equally be disgraced . That is why He said that those of the world marry and are given in marriage but those of the kingdom neither marry nor are given in marriage. Our Lord Jesus Christ expressly stated those qualified to inherit the kingdom of God as supported by the biblical passage below: And Jesus said unto them, The children of this world marry and are given in marriage. But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain the kingdom and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage. Neither can they die any more for they are equal unto the angels and are the children of God being the children of the resurrection. (Luke 20:34-36). Such are like the angels. This statement is fulfilled in our era. AND SO DO NOT WORRY YOURSELF ANYMORE ABOUT WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR GOD BECAUSE YOU ARE AN EMPTY CASE WHICH CANNOT HELP ITSELF. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO

IS TO REFRAIN FROM ANY ACT WHICH CAN DEFILE YOU. SANCTIFY YOUR BODY SO THAT GOD CAN DWELL IN YOU. IT IS THE SAME GOD WHO USED PETER AND OTHER APOSTLES. THEY DID NOT PERFORM THOSE WORKS THEMSELVES BUT GOD USED THEM AS TOOLS TO DO ALL THE WORKS. So anyone who comes here and continues to commit fornication will suffer greatly. Anyone who fornicates does not love his life. God alone knows the true way. So as He made Our Lord Jesus Christ to rise, He would also raise us up with Christ. See the Second Bible Lesson below.

SECOND BIBLE LESSON: JOHN 17:2

As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. When you have defiled yourselves where else can you derive eternal life? What is your gain? Christ was given power over all flesh. God did not create human flesh for the purpose of fornication but He created man as Gods dwelling place. CHRIST ALONE HAS TOTAL POWER OVER YOUR BODY. FROM YOUR TOE TO THE HEAD, EVERYTHING IN YOU IS OWNED BY CHRIST. THEREFORE GIVE CHRIST ROOM TO DWELL IN YOU AND ALLOW HIM TO HAVE DOMINION OVER YOUR LIFE. Christ said: Let not your heart ever be troubled. Ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Fathers house are many mansions. If it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you, I will come back again and receive you unto myself that where I am there ye may be also. (John 14:1-3).

From the beginning of the world who was able to save himself? Who had known his left from his right? Who had life or peace? Who was able to please God in his manner? But God gave Himself to the whole world, especially those who are prepared to meet Him. Unfortunately, you are going back to the sins of Adam and Eve. You complain that you have been in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star but God does not save you. Have you not defiled Gods home? JUST AS HE WAS GIVEN THE POWER OVER ALL FLESH SO IS HE A SAVIOR FOR MANY WHO ARE READY TO HAVE HIM. HE DIED JUST ONCE AND WILL NOT DIE AGAIN BECAUSE NOW THE SON, AND THE FATHER HAS COME TO LIVE WITH YOU. Therefore if you have defiled His home you have yourself to blame. This is because there is no other way of salvation except for you to confess your sins and refrain from all sinful acts. Have you seen the cause of your problems? Have you seen the reason for your tears? This is why people have continued to suffer from the time of Adam till date, even after Christ has come to shed His precious blood to save us from our sufferings. We now experience more suffering because fornication, stealing and other sins are on the increase. Before the advent of the Holy Spirit, fornication and other vices had overtaken the world. This was due to the ignorance of the people. PEOPLE QUERY WHY OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, PETER, AND MOSES ALL WALKED FROM ONE PLACE TO THE OTHER TO PROPAGATE THE SCRIPTURES, BUT WHY IS IT THAT OLUMBA IS NOT WALKING AROUND? HOWEVER I AM NOT TROUBLED BY SUCH REMARKS. But then, have I walked in the streets when people shout on the name of Olumba and write the inscription O.O.O. everywhere, even on their shirts? If you give your life

to God today, what will you lose? What do you think is particular about this world? What type of food do you have here? What type of enjoyment do you experience? I have not seen anything fascinating about this world. GOD LIVES IN YOU, YOU HAVE YOUR HEARTS DESIRE. GO BACK TO THE GARDEN OF EDEN; FOR ALL GOOD THINGS ABOUND THERE. For instance, if somebody stays in Zaire and he is given everything free of charge, will he have the need of buying food? The children of God have no problem because they are neither beaten by rain nor are they scorched from the sun. None of them is deprived of his or her rights. IS THAT NOT A WONDERFUL THING? IN ZAIRE, A ONE MONTH OLD CHILD BORN RECENTLY TESTIFIED ABOUT LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU, AND HE INSTRUCTS EVERYBODY TO BAPTIZE INTO BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR. If we handover our entire body to Him, He would empower us. All power comes from God. Where else can we have our wealth? If not from God, where can we derive real life? THERE ARE STRIKING SIMILARITIES BETWEEN WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE IN BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR, AND WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE LITTLE COMMUNITY IN ZAIRE. THE FLOWERS, THE GARDEN OF EDEN, AND IN FACT, THE MODE OF LIFE IN BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR IS EQUALLY PRACTICED THERE IN ZAIRE. WHY ARE YOU DIFFERENT FROM THEM IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE BEEN TAUGHT? Even while the sermon is on, you are absent minded. Your mind is far away from the gospel before you. THIS IS BECAUSE THE HOLY FATHER IS NOT IN YOU, AND IT IS

ONLY THE FATHER WHO TEACHES ALL THINGS. WHAT IS IMPOSSIBLE BEFORE GOD? HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ME WITH A BIBLE, A PEN OR A PAPER? WHAT DO I NEED THESE THINGS FOR? When you are advised to refrain from fornication, you feel disappointed, and you look at it as an impossible situation. You even blame yourself for being a member of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. Were you created by fornication? The scripture says that: While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. (John 17:12). Those who have been saved by the Father are saved indeed. THIS IS A PERIOD TO OPEN YOUR EYES TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE THE GARDEN OF EDEN. WHEN ADAM AND EVE WERE IN THE GARDEN, AND THEY DID NOT DEFILE THEMSELVES, GOD WAS INDEED WITH THEM. THEY WERE GIVEN EVERYTHING THEY NEEDED. When they defiled themselves, God withdrew His services from them. That was the beginning of the suffering of mankind till today. God created man; and He knows what man is made up of, and what to use man for. Jesus, Our Lord, was not conceived in the flesh but God knew how He did everything about Him to come to this world. IT IS NOT YOUR PLACE TO TEACH GOD WHAT TO DO. YOU ARE NOT GOD BUT YOU ARE HIS HOUSE. GOD LIVES IN YOU AND YOU ALSO LIVE IN GOD. GOD AND MAN ARE ONE. GOD AND MAN ARE ONE IN THE PROMOTION OF HIS DIVINE WORK. WHEREVER YOU GO, GOD IS THERE WITH YOU. HE STAYS WITH YOU EVERYWHERE. YOU ARE THE HOUSE OF GOD, YOU ARE GODS VILLAGE, HIS VINEYARD

AND EVERYTHING FOR GOD.

That is why it is said, If a man says I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? (1 John 4:20). You and I are the house of God, and we must keep Gods house holy. As an empty house cannot be useful to itself, so it is with you. You cannot accomplish anything on your own without God in you. Read the Golden Text. GOLDEN TEXT: 1 CORINTHIANS 3:9 For we are laborers together with God: ye are Gods husbandry, ye are Gods building. Have you now seen why I am weeping for you? You claim to be a member of Duke Town Church or Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, of what use are these churches? You are the church of God. You claim to be a Christian or a Moslem, how far have you honored your claim? WE ARE ALL GODS PEOPLE, WE ARE HIS VINEYARD AND HIS HOUSE. GOD HAS NO OTHER VILLAGE, BUILDING, OR FARM EXCEPT HUMAN BEINGS. WHATEVER YOU DEMAND FROM GOD, YOU WILL GET, PROVIDED YOU ARE SANCTIFIED. THAT IS WHY IT IS SAID THAT WHATEVER WE WANT, WE SHOULD KNEEL DOWN, AND PRAY. YOU ONLY NEED TO THANK THE FATHER FOR ANYTHING AND ALL WILL BE SUPPLIED ACCORDINGLY. WHEN YOU PRONOUNCE A WORD IT MUST SURELY COME TO PASS. FOR INSTANCE, WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT PRONOUNCES LIFE, THE PEOPLE HAVE IT IN ABUNDANCE. IF IT IS MONEY WHICH IS PRONOUNCED, THE PERSON WOULD START COUNTING IN MILLIONS. UNFORTUNATELY, YOU HAVE NOT PURIFIED THE HOUSE FOR HIM TO COME AND DWELL IN. The question now is: Are you a house built by God to

dwell in? Do you realize that fact that you are Gods husbandry, the Garden of Eden? You who defile the temple of God, can you now see how desolate you are? If a house is deserted for several years by its owner, do you still regard such a house worthy for habitation? What do you think would happen to such a house? It is exposed to various hazzards. That is the cause of human suffering all over the world. And that explains why people keep on struggling from January to December, year in and year out, yet they are exposed to adversities and suffering. They face ill-health, lack, anguish, and even death. Once the owner of a given property abandons it, it is left unprotected. That is why life is so hard with the children, men and women. This is because the owner of these houses has abandoned them. How can things be well with you when you have refused the owner his place of abode. God is the owner of the kingdom, city, vineyard, and house. He has arranged everything in their proper places. No one can alter His arrangement. So it is high time you stopped that foolishness. THE TIME IS SO CLOSE AS THE TONGUE IS TO THE TEETH. IF GOD DID NOT LOVE US, THERE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN THE SHEDDING OF THE BLOOD BY OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST FOR THE REMISSION OF OUR SINS. YOU MUST BE INHABITED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT: OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST SHED HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD ON THE CROSS AT CALVARY FOR THE REMISSION OF OUR SINS SO AS TO LEAD US TO THE PROMISED LAND. IF SOMEBODY ASKS YOU TO BUILD A CHURCH FOR GOD TELL HIM THAT IT IS NOT IMPORTANT. WHAT IS NEEDED IS TO SANCTIFY YOURSELF FOR GOD TO DWELL IN

YOU. YOU MUST PURIFY YOURSELF. LIKE A PREGNANT WOMAN WHO EATS ONLY WHAT THE FETUS IN HER WOMB DICTATES, YOU SHOULD BE SELECTIVE IN YOUR FOOD. IN OTHER WORDS, IF THE HOLY SPIRIT ABIDES IN YOU, YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO HIM, AND COMPLY WITH HIS DIRECTIVES. BY SO DOING YOU WOULD NOT THINK OR SPEAK EVIL.

THE TRINITY
Your actions and utterances would be directed by the Holy Spirit. This explains why He says, Either make the tree good and its fruits good, or else make the tree corrupt; for a tree is known by his fruits. (Matthew 12:33). This implies that if you surrender yourself completely unto God, the Holy Spirit will abide in you. Then you will not be given to anger, evil communication, falsehood, theft, fornication, illness, death, among other vicissitudes of life. In as much as we are opportuned to receive this wisdom that we are the house of God, we should not repeat the same mistake committed by Adam and Eve which compelled God to desert them. Could you imagine the sufferings which Adam and Eve experienced when the owner of the house deserted them? We are duty-bound to purify ourselves for God to dwell in us. And when God takes His abode in you then you will be problem free. Today, has God not regained His abode? Or else who is responsible for these mighty works in our midst? Or how would you explain the subjugation of the powers and principalities? Yes, celestial might had subdued all human inventions. YOU NO LONGER HEAR OF SUCH NAMES LIKE NAPOLEON, HITLER, AMONG OTHERS. NOW THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS TAKEN DOMINION OVER THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE. EVERYWHERE YOU GO TO, THE GLORY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IS MANIFESTED. ARE YOU

NOT EVEN SURPRISED AT THIS WONDERFUL SERMON? THIS IS THE MOTHER OF ALL SERMONS. IT IS UNIQUE. This sermon has nullified the advice of Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 7:4 that: THE WIFE HATH NOT POWER OF HER OWN BODY, BUT THE HUSBAND; AND LIKEWISE ALSO THE HUSBAND HATH NOT POWER OF HIS OWN BODY BUT THE WIFE. IN THIS ERA, THE ABOVE EXCERPT STANDS REVOKED FOREVER. Right now, the Father alone exercises complete control over everything seen and unseen. The Father alone abides in you, in me, in all and sundry. Nothing else can rear its ugly head. May God bless His Holy Word. Amen. THANK YOU HOLY FATHER.

THE QUALITIES OF A CHILD OF GOD

FIRST BIBLE LESSON: PHILIPPIANS 3: 3 "For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh". SECOND BIBLE LESSON:GALATIANS 5: 22-23 "But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance; against such there is no law". THE GOLDEN TEXT: ROMANS 8: 14 "For as many as are led by the spirit of God, they are sons of God."

THE WORK OF THE FLESH

Brethren, the gospel will be short and brief because the Holy Spirit has completed His work. What you are going to hear shall be like planting on a piece of land, which had been cleared and the thrash burnt. You are witnesses to the fact that the flesh does not possess love, truth, patience and mercy and cannot teach men these virtues. And whenever the elementary spirit of this world enters into your body, you will be taught how to drink, fornicate, steal, and indulge in the preparation of concoction and how to commit murder. A

person who does this thing is lying against the truth. That sort of spirit is not from God but from the flesh. It is very simple to differentiate between the man who walks in the flesh and the one who walks in the spirit. And this gospel will enable you to know those who are the real children of God. You will find somebody, who will reply that the Holy Spirit is inborn in him, if you care to ask. But by his side you will see snuffbox, around him are charms, cigarette is part of him, fornication is his daily practice. In spite of these, he will tell you that he was born with the Holy Spirit. Whoever drinks is not of the spirit and all those who take snuff do not walk in the spirit but in the flesh. All those who are afraid of the things of this life and they that doubt, do not walk in the spirit. All those who are preoccupied with the thought of the things of this earth, how to get money, cars, wife, become a chief are not directed by the Holy Spirit but by the flesh. All those who discriminate, support party spirit and ethnicity are in flesh and not led by the spirit. Whoever commits sin possesses not the spirit of God in him but walks in the flesh. Possessing the spirit of God does not consist in shaking of head in the frenzy of spiritual ecstasy. Rather, what is read to you from the texts, make up the qualities of a child of God. All those who see witches, apparition, water spirits, and how mermaids are disturbing somebody, are carnally minded. They do not walk in the spirit of God. The spirit of God does not lead all those who see visions of how God directs that another person be married to them, or how somebody has been intimate with another mans wife, or how the other person has committed fornication.

MULTIPLE BIRTH Brethren, do not be deceived. It had been said that in the end, diversities of spirits shall appear and shall confuse many. This confirms the acts of those whose visions and prophesies are never fulfilled. Whoever prophesies and it does not manifest accordingly does not do so with the spirit of God, and wherever distinction is created between male and female it is carnal and not of the spirit. Wherever a mother of twins or triplet is not tolerated, know that the spirit of God is not there. Were twins, triplets, quadruplets to be evil, Eve, our first mother would not have given birth to twins. When somebody gives birth to twins, people will say that such a thing is alien to their families. Now, was Eve who gave birth to twins not of your family? What of Rebecca who gave birth to Esau and Jacob, the twins? Was she not of your family? God has proclaimed that you should go and multiply and replenish the earth. So, one person can give birth to three, four, or five children at the same time. In the Republic of Cameroon, it was reported that one woman gave birth to seven children and all of them grew up to become professionals in the fields of law, engineering, medicine etc. You should therefore, realize that any spirit that debars you from interacting with a mother of twins or triplets is carnal. And every spirit that so confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God. YOU ARE GODS, NO MATTER YOUR CONDITION Any spirit which tells you that somebody will bolt from the blue sky and crashland on the ground like an eaglet is not of God but carnal and demonic. The reason why the Jews crucified our Lord Jesus Christ was that He, being man claimed He was the

Son of God. And they killed Him because they did not have the spirit of God in them. Up till today, the Jews still assert that God has no child. This assertion implies that there is no God, for if God has no child, who is your father? All such disputes and confusions which trouble the world stem from the flesh. There are some people here whose study of the evolutionary process of man makes them believe that there is no God and that life started from the sea bed creatures, to reptiles, to the present Homo Sapiens. Go to the universities, listen to scientists and many others you will realize that no one believes in God. That is why you behave unseemingly. It is written in your law that you are gods, the children of the Most High God, but you shall die like men. If you are a god, then dying like men will not stop you from being a god. If you are a Son of God and you die, this does not obviate the fact that you are a child of God. If you are a god and you get sick, it does not mean that you are no longer a god. Because you are sick, if you are a god and you are disgraced or you are hungry, or you are in lack, it does not mean that those things would not have come to you, were you not to be a god. Have you not seen what happens in the world with God Almighty? In the beginning God said let us make man in our own image, after our likeness. What is the meaning of making man in our own image? This means that man should look like God. When you argue that God is not man, what then is God? Is He a tree? Were God not man, how would He have made man in this form, which according to Him, is His own image? Now you argue that man is not God. If man is not God, what is man? What is God? Is He not man? God put everything under mans care that he should superintend over fishes, animals, birds and every other thing. He also ordered man to name all

the creatures. Now, the flesh has deceived you into believing that man is not God. If man is not God, what is man? Let us assume that man is not God, but the Son of God. But you argue that man is not a child of God. What then is man, when you say that man is neither God nor a Son of God, but you still believe in our Lord Jesus Christ, what was He? The birth of our Lord Jesus Christ was to confound all wisdom. Mary was conceived for nine months, after which Our Lord Jesus Christ was delivered and people from east and west paid obeisance to Him. Argue that such a birth did not take place. If you will argue that our Lord Jesus Christ is the Child of God, whose child are you? This issue leads to yet another. Mary gave birth to Jesus the Christ as her first child, He was the Son of God, and she also gave birth to others, the sons of men. We have our support from the Bible that those who are born of the flesh are carnal and those born of the spirit are spiritual. Our Lord Jesus Christ was born of the spirit but the others were carnal. Can you not realize that man is of two categories? Amongst us, there are the sons of God and the sons of men. Now that you argue that God has just one son, does it mean that He ended His action by begetting only our Lord Jesus Christ? Has God not begotten any other person despite the teeming population of the inhabitants of the world? Can you say that our Lord Jesus Christ was the first and last child of God? Secondly, do you believe that since after the ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ, He is still in the atmosphere? Did you not read that after three days He resurrected and showed Himself to the people? And when the disciples were terrified He told them: "Behold My hands and My feet, that it is

Myself: handle Me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see Me have." While they yet believed not, for joy, and wondered, He said unto them, have ye here any meat, and they gave Him a piece of broiled fish, and of honey comb. And He took it and did eat before them. BROTHERHOOD IS NOT OF THE FLESH (BCS) All the confusion and doubt that abound in the world comes from the flesh. That is the spirit of Lucifer who did promise to trouble the world. We in Brotherhood rejoice in our Lord Jesus Christ, and have confidence in the Spirit. That is why, those who are ignorant of what Brotherhood is, call it a new church. But it is the Kingdom of God. We do not worship carnality. We do not rejoice in any other thing apart from our Lord Jesus Christ. We do not live according to the dictates of the flesh but we live by the directives of the Spirit. Also we do not look or see things carnally, neither do we hear with the carnal ears, we do all things in the Spirit. We know no man through the flesh but through the Spirit. We do not rejoice in money, or size, or position and whether you are a minister, lawyer, doctor or a chief, we rejoice in the Spirit. Our boldness and happiness is in our Lord Jesus Christ because He came, died, resurrected and He is now living to be glorified. His reign has no beginning and no end. He is our captain. He reigns in heaven and on earth, in the water and in our body. In all places, He reigns though the world knows Him not, we have seen and known Him. We do not boast, in the money He gives us. We do not boast, in the life He gives us. We do not boast in the wisdom, He gives us. We rejoice in Him because He will never fail us, and forever, He will not fail us. As He had promised that "When I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take

you to Myself," His promise is fulfilled in us today. He said, "I will not leave you comfortless, I will come unto you." He has come unto us. None of us here boasts of what we have. We do not even rejoice in our carnal father or any other thing. Our happiness is in Christ Jesus, because He is the conqueror and our armor bearer. Many people profess that they are Christs, or Jesus, or Spirit, but they do not preach about Him, neither do they boast in Him. If you boast in our Lord Jesus Christ, why do you not do so in the Spirit? If you are walking in the Spirit, why do you not boast in our Lord Jesus Christ? Brethren, I do not want to belabor you, let our first lesson be read. First Lesson: Philippians 3: 3 "For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh." REJOICE IN OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST Brethren, have you heard the Scripture? Why you have problems is that you do not rejoice in our Lord Jesus Christ and many of you have no confidence in the Spirit. Earthly things are like the dew, which is transitory, but our Lord Jesus Christ abides forever. Do not put your hope in man, or money, or any of the earthly things. But, let your hope, faith, happiness and confidence be in our Lord Jesus Christ for He will not fail you. People are investigating the circumstances surrounding the birth of the Leader and the sort of food He eats. They are researching into His kind of apparel, all in a bid to discover the source of His power. These persons are

to be greatly pitied. I hide nothing from you and I have been telling you that I am powerless, and I do not exist at all. But our Lord Jesus Christ had said, "All power in heaven and on earth had been handed over to Me. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you, for lo I am with you always even unto the end of the world." It is on this promise that I operate. He said, whoever believes in Me, believes not in Me but in Him who sent Me. At times He would say I, and the Father are one. Do you not realize that whoever believes in the Son believes in the Father, whoever rejects the Son has not the Father. As many as believe in our Lord Jesus Christ as the Son of God, the same has right to be called the children of God. All those who have confidence in the Spirit testify that our Lord Jesus Christ is here. He is doing the work; He is the Master, the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings. He is in heaven, on earth and in us. He died once for the sake of our sins. From then on He lives a life of righteousness forever. It is not expected that any other person should die. It is not given that those who believe in Him should die. Those who believe in Him must have eternal life. And it is not expected that any one should declare himself to be Jesus or Christ, or Jehovah or God. Do we need many Jesus? Is the one we have not sufficient? It is not also expected that anyone should gaze at the sky. What do you expect from the sky? The scripture says, truly I say unto you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do shall he do, greater works than this shall he do. If you

believe in Him and do greater works, what else do you expect of Him in the sky?(John 14:12). People initiate into many secret societies as well as various forms of diabologies in order to be saved. But instead of getting salvation, disaster still befalls them. And our Lord Jesus Christ said, "Whoever believes and is baptized shall be saved, but whoever is not baptized shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe. In My name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues. They shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."(Mark 16;16-18). It is as simple as that by coming out of the water of baptism, these signs follow you. Is there any of you who is not followed by these signs? It is this issue that baffles all the inhabitants of the world and that is why they keep asking the source of power in Brotherhood? But of a truth, I tell you the moment you believe and are baptized; these signs shall follow you. You are not charged any money, neither are you given any other conditions. What do you think God is? God is the Word, and what is the Word? The Word is Christ. What is Christ? Christ is Spirit. What is Spirit? Spirit is Truth, Love, Faith, Peace, Holiness, Humility, Temperance, Meekness, Power and Joy. He is all and in all. Tell Me what your problem is? Have you not seen that Spirit? Has it not come? It is today that you are going to know the fruits of the Spirit. So that those who claim to possess the Spirit will know their stand. Church denominations will claim they do not worship the Spirit since they are orthodox churches, and they think they are believing in the power of the Holy Spirit. It is today that you will know which is a Spiritual church.

THE FIRST GENTILE HAVE YOU EVER HEARD THAT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST BEAT DRUMS, BURN INCENSE OR LIGHT CANDLES? RIGHT FROM PETER, TO WHOM THIS MINISTRY WAS HANDED, TO PAUL AND OTHERS WHO SERVED IN THE MINISTRY, HAVE YOU HEARD ANY OF THEM BEAT DRUM, BURN INCENSE OR USED PERFUMERY OR OTHER ABOMINABLE ACTS YOU TAKE DELIGHT IN DOING IN THE NAME OF SPIRITUALISM. WHICH SPIRIT IS THAT? When our Lord Jesus Christ had not yet bestowed the Spirit on His disciples, He told them not to enter into the way of the Samaritans but to go to the lost sheep of Israel. That is to say, without the Holy Spirit the world would perish. Because when our Lord Jesus Christ lived in flesh, He had limited functions. He directed the disciples to the Israelites only. If they asked in a house and there was an Israelite, they would attend to and minister to him, if there were no Israelites, they would leave.(Matthew10:6-6;15:24). It is exactly what the church denominations are doing. When they get to a group of people, they will ask if members of their churches are there. In the hospital they will ask if their member is there. Such practices are carnal and not Spiritual. When our Lord Jesus Christ had bestowed the Spirit on His disciples, Cornelius had a dream, and an angel told him that God had heard his prayer. The angel told him to send somebody to Joppa to meet one Peter who lodged with Simon the tanner, and that Peter would tell him what to do. It was not the Spirit directing Cornelius but an angel. Cornelius, the centurion sent three of his men to Peter. Before the arrival of the three, the Spirit had already

informed Peter that three people were waiting outside for him. Ever before the messengers left to their destination, Peter saw in a trance how four- footed animals descended and he was told to kill and eat. But he refused on the excuse that he had never eaten anything common or unclean. This was done three times, and the vessel was carried up. The voice told him, what God hath cleansed, call not thou common. This vision really disturbed him; and as he was thinking over it, the three men from Cornelius arrived, the same Spirit told him, "Behold, three men seek thee, and he went out and saw the three men from Cornelius, who told him their mission. These men were Gentiles. Remember that our Lord Jesus Christ had told them not to enter the way of the Gentiles but these were Gentiles before him. The situation worried Peter but the Spirit told him to follow them. Since he walked in the Spirit, he had to obey the dictates of the Spirit. Peter obeyed the Spirit and went to Cornelius. On seeing Peter, Cornelius fell down at his feet, and worshiped him. But Peter took him up, saying, stand up; myself also am a man. Peter told him you know that it is unlawful for a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation. But God hath showed me that I should call no man common or unclean, therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for; I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me? Cornelius narrated the preceding events that led to it and Peter opened his mouth and told them about our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of all. Those who were present received the Holy Spirit. That was the first time in human history the Word of God was extended beyond the Jews. Cornelius was the first Gentile God revealed Himself to. Without the Holy Spirit, how would the Word of God

spread to other nations?(Acts 10:1-48). Note that when the twelve disciples walked with our Lord Jesus Christ, they were told to never enter into the way of the Samaritans or of the Gentiles. So when the other eleven heard that Peter had gone to the Gentiles with the gospel, they accused Peter of bringing confusion. But when they gathered, he told them of his vision and what followed, they were satisfied. That is why it is said that whoever walks in the Spirit does not err. If the Spirit tells you to go to Babangida, or Queen Elizabeth, and inform him or her of these things, go straight. By doing that there is no mistake and no one can challenge you. THE HOLY SPIRIT IS LOVE Brethren, our confidence is in the Spirit. Wherever the Spirit directs you, go forth. If the Spirit tells you to go and worship in the Roman Catholic Church, do so. If you are told to go to the Presbyterian, or Amorc, or any place for that matter, do not hesitate. There is no discrimination in this Kingdom. Listen and hearken to the Spirit, in whatever you are directed. The Spirit does not create division. With Him there is neither male nor female, young or old. We have no problems with the Moslems, members of the Ogboni, Christians. We have no trouble with ghosts, man, Obon members, robbers and thieves. What is required of us is to listen to the Spirit in whatever we are told to do. We have no trouble with whites, or blacks. Since our confidence is in the Spirit, wherever you are sent, go there because the Holy Spirit has no Bethel. Remember that when Saul was to go to Damascus to arrest the followers of our Lord Jesus Christ, he was authorised by the high priest to arrest and jail anyone who called on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. On

his way, light shone round about him from heaven, and the voice of the Lord called on him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? And he said who art thou Lord? And the voice said; I am Jesus whom thou persecute. Saul was struck blind and for three days he did not see. It was the same Jesus who told him to go to one Ananias. The same Jesus revealed to Ananias about Saul. This shows to you that the Spirit is that of love. He told Ananias to go and pray for Saul that Saul may receive his sight. Can you see the situation? On learning the order, Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem. And here he hath authority from the chief Priests to bind all that call on thy name. But the Lord said unto him: Go thy way, for he is a chosen vessel unto Me, to bear My name before the Gentiles and kings, and the children of Israel. Ananias did not argue but went his way because he was in the Spirit. When he arrived there, he placed his hands on him and said, Brother Saul, "The Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, thou mayest receive they sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit". And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales; and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.(Acts 9:1-22) . Such is the work of the Spirit. You do not behave anyhow you like. It is our duty to do this work. If we walk in the Spirit, there will be neither quarreling, nor fighting, nor trouble, nor conflict but love will be found everywhere. Second Bible Lesson: Galatians 5: 22-23 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance; against such there is no law."

Brethren, have you heard the Scripture? He sent Cornelius to go to Peter and be told what to do. Peter went to him as was also directed. Did Peter beat up Cornelius, or quarrel, or curse or abuse him? He went and saved him, and converted Cornelius to become a Christian. He told Ananias to go and pray for a man called Saul that he may receive his sight. When Ananias went to Saul, did he beat, curse or extort Saul? In the same manner, if the Father directs you to go to a certain brothers house, or to Lagos, and other places, it is our duty to obey, and serve whoever is concerned with love. It is the work of grace, mercy, truth, and patience, which has nothing to do with quarreling, murder, or snatching somebodys wife or husband. OBEY THE DIRECTIVE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT We have no particular Bethel since our functional Bethel is the Holy Spirit. Thus, the issue of posing as an elder or prophet in charge of the Bethel does not arise. Your duty is to listen to the Spirit and do what He tells you. Whoever walks in the Spirit is a child of God, but whoever walks in flesh is of Satan. As at now, members of WAR AGAINST INDISCIPLINE Brigade had come to help to maintain order in the premises, but it is reported that members of the Youth Fellowship oppose them. Are you the only owner of these premises? Have they come to kill? They have merely come to help guard the place. Anybody can come and join hands with you in the service, as long as the Spirit of God directs them. As I am, if somebody comes to Me and say that he is going to preach, I will merely thank the Father and get down for him, knowing that it will give Me vacation. Is it not one and the same thing? Can you now realize that there is no law here? The Father had directed all of you, ordained ones, elders, Christ Servants, Christ Students, and others to

guard the premises. If you cannot do the work, and the Holy Spirit mobilizes another group of people elsewhere to come and do it, why do you resist them? On this note, we are not under law but our confidence is in the Holy Spirit. If the Spirit directs you, obey accordingly. It is the Father who sends you and you are not under any law. Except in a situation where somebody tells you that what he does is a personal opinion. In that case, do not obey. But whatever the Spirit tells you, even when somebody comes to you and says that the Father sends him to come and pray for you, kneel down and receive the prayer because it is for your own good. Now I will tell you a short story. On the 15th of November 1962 two persons called Mandus and Conrad came to Calabar to heal people. Conrad was Mandus son. Posters appeared throughout this town that they were coming to do wonderful healing. Certain people arranged for their coming. On arrival at Calabar, they came to perform their healing in one of the school rooms, of 34, Ambo Street, Calabar. There was wide publicity for people to turn up and witness the healing exercise. While I was still keeping My calm, the Holy Spirit asked what I was waiting for? He asked whether Conrads action was to imply that God was not to be found in this part of the world. And finally, He directed Me to go and preach the gospel to him so that he will know that he came to sit on top of God. Brethren, it was wonderful. Though the gospel the Father gave was very short, it was efficacious as well as inspiring. And at the end of it, Conrad was invited to perform but he declared, "It is finished." He was reluctant to even say a word. It was after much persuasion that he stood up and made a short speech. Throughout his speech, he was preaching the Father. Some of you, who were present, could

testify about the day. All he did was to testify about the Father. Till today, he is a witness unto Me. Those who spearheaded the visit, one Mr. Ekpenyong, Akwaowo and Nwabasi later complained that I disgraced them. But I told them that I did not disgrace them and that the Holy Spirit was at work. The Holy Spirit has no Beginning and no Ending Brethren that is why I told you that Brotherhood has neither a beginning nor an end, because it is the Holy Spirit who directs everything. If the Holy Spirit has a beginning, know that Brotherhood has a beginning. When the world was without form and void, was the Holy Spirit not in existence? He was in existence and moved upon the face of the waters. It is recorded in Genesis 1: 1-2, that when the world was not, the Holy Spirit was. Therefore, we have confidence in him. Our boast is in Him. If He tells you to move, do so. Even the person you claim is your worst enemy, if the Holy Spirit tells you to go to his house and greet him, do so and there will be no problem because by so doing you are taking peace to him. You will then see that He has brought love to us. He has brought truth, peace, humility, joy and all good things to us. No evil resides with the Holy Spirit neither has He ever committed any sin. Those who walk in the flesh are the trouble makers. But all those who walk in the Spirit are the children of God. Even if the Spirit tells you to go and pray for somebody, or give him vision, or administer treatment to him, or do any other thing you will argue that you would not go in order that you may not cause trouble. You will not cause any trouble as long as the Holy Spirit sends you. Of a truth, the Holy Spirit is not a troublemaker. While we

are singing, if you find somebody who begins to cry in his supposed Spiritual ecstasy, that is not the Holy Spirit at work. Such cries are from the anti-Christ. It is a truism that without Brotherhood, people will not believe in the existence of the Holy Spirit. This is so because the operation of others is far from that of the Holy Spirit. It is the evil one at work. Therefore, all such groups that call themselves Spiritual churches are not what they profess to be. This is the only place where the Holy Spirit is at work. There is no person who comes here and is not satisfied, or does not see the glory of God. When somebody tells you that the Spirit directs that the two of you be married, note that it is not the Spirit of God. If somebody tells you that the Spirit directs that you should give forty naira feast, depart from such a person because he is simply hungry. Whoever tells you that you are bewitched, and that your house had been sold to witches and wizards, be patient with him because it is the flesh and not the Spirit of God. If somebody comes to tell you that the Spirit has said that you are a wizard, be patient with him, because that is in the flesh and he does have not the Spirit of God. Also, if he ask you to love another mans wife, hammering on that continuously, note that it is not the Spirit of God but that of the troublemaker. Brethren, the situation is now clear. When you go to scatter somebodys family and set it ablaze, you will claim it is the Holy Spirit. Which Spirit do you refer to? You tell somebody that the Holy Spirit says that if he does not do certain things he will die. That message is not from the Holy Spirit because He cannot wish any person death. The Holy Spirit is life, He is not death, He brings into existence that

which had not been, and to make extinct that which existed. If it is the Holy Spirit, He will tell you that life has been bestowed on you from now on. If He sees you in a deplorable situation, he will tell you that there is no death for you, and it will materialize accordingly. If you were a harlot, he will tell you, henceforth, the Father has changed you, and has given you the Holy Spirit. This is all he will say rather than saying that such nonsensical thing as, you are a thief, your husband is in love with another woman, let me go and show you, or your wife has messed up. What sort of Spirit is that supposed to be? You also say your wife charms you, or your husband is plotting to kill you, that is not the Holy Spirit of God. Do not listen to such Spirit because it is carnal and demonic. You, who told others, "God said in spite of all the gospels preached to you, you do not repent, I have forsaken you." Which God sent you? Since your utterances are nonsensical, you should shut your mouth. When you go to PRAYER HOUSES AND HEALING HOMES, YOU WILL HEAR MUCH OF SUCH THINGS. THAT IS WHY I HAVE ESTABLISHED THOSE PLACES FOR YOU TO ATTEND SINCE YOU LOVE DELUSION. At midnight they will arrange for a holy wash. They will wash your heads, ears and other parts of the body. They will recommend all sorts of things because that is where they have the opportunity to do whatever they like. Continue in your arts if it is beneficial to do so. And those of you, who go about urging others to pay tithe, are you made tithecollectors for God? Are you sent on a special mission? Is tithe a human being affair? It is Gods business, and affects every person. Thus, whoever wishes can pay. But your visions, "send your tithe so that your ailment will be healed."

Is that right? Do you mean that God is poor? There is no difference between the Spirit many of you are using here and the one in the world. It is the same worldly Spirit that you operate with. That is why before Me you can not say those things. All the visioners here are afraid to give visions before Me. If ever they give, they dance around the question. When they come to you, they will whisper to your ears that they have some revelations about you, and would love to say them privately. The interpreter, Apostle Fabian Obot, is My witness. He was once given a fake vision, which, by now, would have made him a good-for-nothing person. It was while he was on vacation during his days in the university that he was warned not to return to the university that if he disobeyed, he would be returned dead. When he ran to Me, I hushed him up and I told him to return to school. He went back and completed his course and nothing did happen to him, for he did not die. This war is Spiritual. I am fighting with principalities, which resides in you. Such visioners do not come here during the Pentecostal period; rather, they go from house to house in the suburbs to deceive people. If you do not have money now, you will blame it on a member who has taken you to a native doctor. Your mind would be troubled and the result would be fighting in the Bethel. All of you have accused each other of witchery. The Holy Spirit does not see evil. He does not see apparition. He does not see witches. He does not see juju. He does not see any evildoer. There is no male or female with him for he does not see gender differences, and He does not see death. He sees no useless thing. Since he is good, He always sees goodness. To him all things are good. Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself

said I use the Holy Spirit of God to cast away the evil Spirit in you. As one of our brothers said if one possesses the evil Spirit, I use the Holy Spirit to drive out the evil Spirit in you. It is for these reasons that no matter the sort of Spirit a person possesses, when he comes here, he will be stripped and clothed with the Holy Spirit. That constitutes our main duty. It is said, come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Go and bring any native doctor, or any person you think is an evil doer. Bring him here and see if he will not change instantly. After knowing this, you still come to tell Me that somebody is a wizard or evil or is fearful. If you are a fearful person, you will no longer fear. No matter what you are, you would turn a new leaf. If you are poor, you will no longer be poor. If you are sickly, your sickness will be healed. If you are blind, eyou will receive your sight. You have heard the testimony of the Enyi 1 of Aba, Brother Ikonne. He climbed to a great height in the Ogboni society and was a member of the Rosicrucian Order. He initiated into various secret societies and also indulged in the preparation of concoctions. With his position, he had money but could not even sleep. He was always sacrificing for one reason or the other. He is now here. All the things he used to do he has abandoned. Have you not seen him now? He is free and free for ever. Let our golden text be read. Golden text: Romans 8: 14 "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are sons of God."

Have you heard the Scriptures? If the Holy Spirit leads you,

you will not sin. You will be preoccupied with helping, consoling, comforting, making peace, and transforming people. These are the characteristics of one who possesses the Holy Spirit. This is the work many people are doing. Thousands and one are doing this work. You may not know a place in Lagos but if God sends you there, you have to go and do the work. Our duty is to be alert; to do whatever the Spirit tells us. Do not initiate anything by yourself. Do not walk in the flesh any longer. Do you believe that God can tell somebody who does not have one naira in the house, to pay tithe of N20.00? Can God do such a thing when He knows that the person has no money? Do you believe that God can demand N40.00 from you to conduct feast after praying for you? Will you say that God is hungry? God cannot do such a thing. Right now many people have sold their house furniture, some have even mortgaged certain properties of theirs for the sake of feast and other things.* I have not collected such monies from you. You are deceiving one another. Also many people have deserted their homes and have found abode in Bethels because they were told that certain persons have sold their premises to witches, who are after their lives.. You are told to build a house for them, the next day you are told to buy a car for them. If they demand cars, in what does the Holy Spirit drive? When your search for a husband has proved abortive, on seeing a handsome man, you will tell him, the Father says, "we should get married." THERE IS NO MARRIAGE IN SPIRIT. MARRIAGE IS AN EARTHLY AFFAIR. I am telling you all this so that you may know the difference between what obtains in Spirit and in flesh. The deceit in Brotherhood is minimal. If you go to the Spiritual churches,

you would be bamboozled. *You will be stripped of all your possessions to meet up their demands, and your wife and children will be taken from you in addition. Brethren, I do not want to be tedious unto you. A stroke of the cane is sufficient unto the wise. He who has ears let them hear. May God Bless His Holy Words. Amen. THANK YOU FATHER

CHILDREN OF GOD vs CHILDREN OF THE WORLD

FIRST BIBLE LESSON: JOHN 3:6 "That which is born of flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." SECOND BIBLE LESSON: JOHN 1:33-34 "And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizes with the Holy Ghost. And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God." GOLDEN TEXT: MATTHEW 3:13-17 "Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. But John forbade him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness. Then he suffered him. And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." HE IS NEVER TO DIE: Dear Brethren, the basis of our address to you is established in this spiritual Chorus (Collosians 3:16): I HAVE COME BY MYSELF SENDING

NO ONE, HENCE I HAVE REVEALED MYSELF TO THE ENTIRE WORLD AND I HAVE NOT COME TO DIE AS PEOPLE THINK. THEREFORE, MY PEOPLE SHOULD SING AND REJOICE FOR I THE LORD HAVE ASSUMED RULERSHIP. On this note let our First Bible Lesson be reviewed. FIRST BIBLE LESSON: JOHN 3:6 "That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF PEOPLE IN THE WORLD: Beloved this Bible Text is quite self-explanatory. It informs us that there are two groups of people in existence on earth. These include the heavenly people and worldly people. This further implies that God created two categories of human beings: the canal man and the spiritual man. These two sets of people mix together for a common goal or purpose and in this assembly, the Father has brought these groups together. They are all here. What I am telling you buttresses the scripture recorded in Revelation 11:15..."The kingdom of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord and his Christ and he shall reign for ever and ever," that we all may be one in the Father. However, there is always a contrast between these two groups of people. They are given different endowments. The heavenly children are endowed with the gift of the Holy Spirit while the worldly children are endowed with the gifts of the flesh. Thus in spite of the inclination of the carnal being to do heavenly things, his status as a worldly fellow cannot be changed. At baptism, he receives the earthly gifts. In the same vein, the heavenly child cannot have his status changed because of his innate desires. But one thing is certain, we are all one

in the same milieu though with different gifts to fulfill different commissions. Recall that John the Baptist came to the world in the spirit and power of Elijah to do the work of God while Our Lord Jesus Christ was here in the spirit of God equally to fulfill His mission, hence, he was indestructible. By these submissions, it is possible for you to easily identify a child of God in the world, even without introduction. A CHILD OF GOD IS KNOWN BY HIS GOOD QUALITIES BECAUSE THE HOLY SPIRIT IS IN HIM AND ANY CHILD OF GOD IS AWARE OF HIS IDENTITIES AND HE CANNOT SHIRK FROM HIS RESPONSIBILITIES. THIS IS SO BECAUSE OF HIS DUTY TO REVEAL THE FATHER. So do not seek the Holy Spirit by your power because it is something natural. CHILDREN OF GOD ARE BORN WITH IT. THEY BELIEVE IN GOD AND HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM OF GOD. NOTHING CAN CHANGE THEM; JUST AS THE EARTHLY CHILDREN HAVE THE POWER, KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM OF THIS WORLD. Let our Second Lesson be read again. SECOND BIBLE LESSON: JOHN 1:33-34 "And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining upon him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. And I saw and bare record that this is the Son of God." Brethren, how do you understand this text? This text simply tells us that when God commissions you on an assignment, He goes ahead to accomplish it. He can never send you on an errand and leave you desolate. He goes there and executes that assignment in order to glorify Himself. The bone of contention here is the power of God and the Holy Spirit. This does not portend the performing of miracles,

raising the dead or making the lame walk; for John the Baptist, Elijah, Moses and others performed various miracles. The statement of John in our Second Lesson, "Him whom he saw, the Spirit descending upon" is a distinguishing statement. It indicates the towering personality of Our Lord Jesus Christ. You realize that Our Lord Jesus Christ alone used the word to teach man and transform him from mortality to immortality. I therefore sympathize with the world for their ignorance in requesting for money, house, cars, farms and other material things from Our Lord Jesus Christ. They should request for the Holy Spirit because with the Holy Spirit you are revealed and you consequently become a child of God. There is no doubt however that the earthly man speaks about earthly things, and the heavenly man about heavenly things. As I said earlier, these form the mark or identity on them. It is said, "Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth, (Matt 5:5) and blessed are you when people persecute you and speak evil against you for my name's sake. Rejoice for yours is the kingdom of God. (Matt 5:12). Brethren, what has been read to you constitute the mark of the children of God. Persecution, suffering, condemnation, rejection, etc. will be your experiences. But do not hate them who afflict you, for the inheritance of the kingdom of God is yours. The children of God harken to the word of God, while the earthly children are opposed to it. The children of God know what their expectations are irrespective of where they are. Like the yearly celebration of the reception of the Holy Spirit on earth, that idea was initiated by the children of God. WHERE ARE YOU? Beloved, we all in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star are children of God but with particular reference to those who do not fornicate, commit adultery, tell lies, eat meat and engage in other vices. So, if you are in this kingdom and you are still a victim of these vices, put yourself in fervent prayer because no goat can give birth to a dog, just

as a dog cannot deliver a hen nor can a cow deliver a goat, nor a dog a hen. Each of these animals will deliver its own kind. So in this wise, the children of God cannot be like the children of the world, they remain where they rightly belong. BE CONTENT: There was one popular visioner in this fold. He was known for accurate and true visioning. But seeing the way the Children of God behave, he said there was no remarkable difference between them and himself, for he too was a child of God, especially as he could give visions and sing. Not long after he made the statement, he found himself in the midst of some children of God and he tried to behave like one of them. In less than one week, he realized his limitations and bolted from that group to the quick embrace of his turban because he was an Apostle. The point I am making is that you should be content with your position whether as a child of God, Christ Student, Christ Servant or any other group because you will not succeed if you force yourself into a group which you do not belong to. Let our Golden Text be re-examined. GOLDEN TEXT: MATTHEW 3:13-17 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. But John forbade him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness. Then he suffered him. And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son,

in whom I am well pleased." THE REVELATION OF CHRIST: Brethren, the above text refers to the revelation of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Even the testimonies of John, "And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptiseth with the Holy Ghost. And I saw and bare record that this is the Son of God." Now, if Our Lord Jesus Christ did not go to be baptized by John the Baptist, how could he be revealed? He could not have been revealed and John would not have testified of him. Another question is, supposing Our Lord Jesus Christ was pompous and he did not go to John to be baptized, how could he be revealed? Remember that when John the Baptist was in prison and he did not see Our Lord Jesus Christ coming to rescue him, he began to doubt and he sent his disciples to go and find out from Christ whether he was actually the Messiah and if not, should they look for another. Our Lord Jesus Christ replied and said that the emissaries should go back and tell John what they saw: that the lame had walked, the blind had regained their sight, the sick made whole, and the dead raised. (Matt 11:2-5) What this illustration implies is that had John merely told Our Lord Jesus Christ that he was the Son of God, without the baptism and his revelation through the Holy Spirit which descended on him, in confirmation of the sign of the identity of who the Messiah would be, from the list of those baptized, it would not have been possible to identify Christ nor reveal him. ONLY THE HOLY SPIRIT REVEALS GOD: Flesh and blood cannot reveal God unto any one. (Matt 16:17). Money

and any mundane acquisition cannot reveal God unto any person. What reveals God unto us is the Holy Spirit. Once you have the Holy Spirit God will be revealed to you. If it were the lot of the flesh to reveal God to the world, John would have been qualified for the Messiahship because of his virtuous disposition and even his priestly family background. In fact, people had even ascribed to him the status of the Christ because at his birth and presentation to alter many wonders happened. Even Zachariah, the father, suddenly became dumb (Luke 1:20-22), for many hours until God revealed to him the events that were to unfold. Moreso, people thought John the Baptist was the Messiah (Luke 3:15-16/John 1:19-22)because of his good works but he vehemently denied that honour. SO WHEREVER YOU MAY BE OR GO TO, LISTEN TO YOUR SPIRIT FOR IT IS ONLY THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT CAN REVEAL TO YOU WHETHER THE PERSON YOU ARE MEETING IS A CHILD OF GOD OR NOT. To confirm the testimony of the John the Baptist that the person coming after him is greater than him, his sandals he was not competent enough to loosen, and that he is the one to baptize with fire and the Holy Spirit, Our Lord Jesus Christ came. UNLIKE JOHN THE BAPTIST WHO USED WATER TO BAPTIZE PEOPLE, CHRIST USED ONLY THE SPOKEN WORD. THERE IS NO DAY OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST USED WATER OR ANY OTHER MEDIUM TO BAPTIZE PEOPLE. HE ONLY USED THE WORD. HE WILL TELL YOU "GO, YOUR PROBLEMS ARE OVER, YOUR SICKNESS IS OVER," AND SO WILL IT BE. However the disciples of Our Lord Jesus Christ were using water to baptize people. (John 4:2). At this point, the disciples of John were disturbed as the multitudes now went to Christ to be baptized. They went to John to complain that the man he just baptized was equally baptizing people but John replied them saying, that except the

authority came from above, none could do anything. (John 3:26-30). Now considering this development, what do you think would have been the case in the present dispensation? Would people not foment trouble because of that? But John the Baptist had that understanding that nobody could do anything on his own. And brethren, I tell you that any power or authority that does not come from God cannot stand, as there is bound to be problems, fighting and confusion. Since the baptism of John and Christ came from God, no power could oppose it. This is the veritable truth. So brethren, I do not intend to take you further, a stroke of the cane is sufficient unto the wise. Let those who have ears hear. May God bless His Holy Words. AMEN THANK YOU HOLY FATHER.
