THE WORD CENTER PRESENTS

THE EXPECTED MESSIAH

Heb 10:37 For yet a little while, and he that shall

come will come, and will not tarry.

Joh 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

Joh 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall

give you another Comforter, that he may abide

with you for ever;

Joh 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world

cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither

knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth

with you, and shall be in you.

Joh 14:18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will

come to you.

Joh 14:19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me

no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall

live also.

Heb 10:37 FOR YET A LITTLE WHILE, AND HE THAT

SHALL COME WILL COME, AND WILL NOT TARRY.

Heb 10:36 For ye have need of patience, that, after

ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the

promise.

Heb 10:37 For yet a little while, and he that shall

come will come, and will not tarry.

Heb 10:38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any

man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in

him.

Heb 10:39 But we are not of them who draw back

unto perdition; but of them that believe to the

saving of the soul.

2Co 4:7 BUT WE HAVE THIS TREASURE IN

EARTHEN VESSELS, THAT THE EXCELLENCY OF

THE POWER MAY BE OF GOD, AND NOT OF US.

2Co 4:5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ

Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for

Jesus' sake.

2Co 4:6 For God, who commanded the light to shine

out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give

the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in

the face of Jesus Christ.

2Co 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen

vessels, that the excellency of the power may be

of God, and not of us.

Joh 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and

keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that

loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will

love him, and will manifest myself to him.

Joh 14:22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord,

how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us,

and not unto the world?

Joh 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a

man love me, he will keep my words: and my

Father will love him, and we will come unto him,

and make our abode with him.

Joh 14:24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my

sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine,

but the Father's which sent me.

Joh 14:25 These things have I spoken unto you,

being yet present with you.

Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy

Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he

shall teach you all things, and bring all things to

your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto

you.

1Co 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor

ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of

man, the things which God hath prepared for them

that love him.

1Co 2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his

Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the

deep things of God.

1Co 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man,

save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the

things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of

God.

1Co 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the

world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might

know the things that are freely given to us of God.

Joh 15:18 IF THE WORLD HATE YOU, YE KNOW

THAT IT HATED ME BEFORE IT HATED YOU.

PERSECUTION

Joh 15:18 If the world hate you, ye know that it

hated me before it hated you.

Joh 15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would

love his own: but because ye are not of the world,

but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore

the world hateth you.

Joh 15:20 Remember the word that I said unto you,

The servant is not greater than his lord. If they

have persecuted me, they will also persecute you;

if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours

also.

Joh 15:21 But all these things will they do unto you

for my name's sake, because they know not him

that sent me.

Joh 15:22 If I had not come and spoken unto them,

they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke

for their sin.

Joh 15:23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also.

Joh 15:24 If I had not done among them the works

which none other man did, they had not had sin:

but now have they both seen and hated both me

and my Father.

Joh 15:25 But this cometh to pass, that the word

might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They

hated me without a cause.

Act 20:28 TAKE HEED THEREFORE UNTO

YOURSELVES, AND TO ALL THE FLOCK, OVER THE

WHICH THE HOLY GHOST HATH MADE YOU

OVERSEERS, TO FEED THE CHURCH OF GOD,

WHICH HE HATH PURCHASED WITH HIS OWN

BLOOD.

Act 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and

to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath

made you overseers, to feed the church of God,

which he hath purchased with his own blood.

Act 20:29 For I know this, that after my departing

shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not

sparing the flock.

Act 20:30 Also of your own selves shall men arise,

speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples

after them.

2Co 3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the

Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

2Co 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in

a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the

same image from glory to glory, even as by the

Spirit of the Lord.

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.

SO TODAY THAT GOD HAS COME TO DWELL

WITH YOU.

*NOW GOD HAS COME TO CHANGE PEOPLE, AND

SANCTIFY THEM FOR HIMSELF

*FOR THEY MUST SEE GOD IN HIS FULL GLORY

AND MAJESTY NOW.

When Jesus Christ was on the Cross He cried with a

loud voice: "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken

me?" (Matt 27:46 / Mark 15:34). If God did not get out

from Him, He would not have been killed. SO TODAY

THAT GOD HAS COME TO DWELL WITH YOU. WHAT

CAN A MAN DO TO YOU? WHY DO YOU PANIC AND

FEAR? YOU HAVE MAXIMUM PROTECTION,

SECURITY AND SATISFACTION. FOR AGES NOW

MAN HAS TRIED BY HIS OWN EFFORTS TO FORSAKE

SIN. BUT HE HAS BEEN UNABLE. BUT NOW GOD

HAS COME TO CHANGE PEOPLE, AND SANCTIFY

THEM FOR HIMSELF. LET ALL THOSE WHO DO NOT

BELIEVE IN THE EXISTENCE OF GOD WEEP; FOR

THEY MUST SEE GOD IN HIS FULL GLORY AND

MAJESTY NOW. May we hear the golden text.

BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU

AND THAT WE MAY BE DELIVERED FROM

UNREASONABLE AND WICKED MEN: FOR ALL MEN

HAVE NOT FAITH.

2Th 3:1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word

of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified,

even as it is with you: 2Th 3:2 And that we may be

delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for

all men have not faith. 2Th 3:3 But the Lord is

faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from

evil.

SUCCESSOR

*Those who spend their time to think of a successor

to Leader Obu when He dies are very unreasonable

people. And those who are outside, and are trying to

see the end of Leader Obu so that Brotherhood may

cease to function, are also very, very unreasonable.

Is the work in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star

done by the leader? Whether I am here or not; one

thing stands out. These works will continue because

the doer is here by Himself; and He is God, the

Father. Many of you have been stricken with fear

when you hear that you will no more see the Leader.

That is to put faith in you. When you see before you

believe; that is not faith. Faith is the assured

expectation of things hoped for, the evident

demonstration of realities though not beheld.


THE BIG PEOPLE: THE OPPOSITION

I predict, at all times, the future of this Kingdom; but

you doubt me. However, these predictions have

manifested in several occasions. For instance, some

years ago, I told you that the various fellowships

were established only as a matter of convenience

and that individuals will initiate and execute projects

in this Kingdom. That has come to pass. I also told

you that a time shall come when brethren shall go

abroad on evangelism. That also has been fulfilled.

The students have always been in the forefront to

introduce new ideas in Brotherhood of the Cross and

Star; some of which were vehemently objected to by

others. For instance, the inscription “LEADER

OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU, THE SOLE SPIRITUAL

HEAD” was introduced by the Christ's Students. This

idea met with tough resistance from BCS members.

The situation would have resulted into something

else but for the intervention of the Father. The

statement in the Bible which states: "But he that

shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved"

(Matthew 24:13) has been fulfilled.

Christ's Students Commissioned as Teachers

Those who were regarded as slaves and house-helps

are now my representatives. Having left their

parents and material things to serve the Father, the

Father has now exalted them. Accordingly, the

Christ's Students should be accorded the respect

they deserve. This is the time they should occupy

their rightful position. Christ's Students Udofia and

Mary have now been fully accredited as the Father's

mouthpiece in their respective countries. Other

Christ's Students have been given the full authority

to go round the world and teach members the truth

and direct them on the affairs of the Kingdom.

Whoever does not recognize God hates himself.


THE SOLE SPIRITUAL HEAD OF THE UNIVERSE

BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR.

EXCERPT FROM THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL :

FAREWELL ADDRESS

THE HOLY SPIRIT IN AFRICA

THE HOLY SPIRIT IS HERE:

* IF IT WERE POSSIBLE FOR MANKIND, AND IN FACT

THE CHURCHES, TO HAVE A MORE POWERFUL

BEING WHO IS CAPABLE OF ELIMINATING THE

HOLY FATHER, THEY WOULD HAVE EMPLOYED

SUCH A PERSON.

In the past God manifested Himself into various

forms, such as stone, tree, horse, corn, birds, other

animals etc. But each time He manifested Himself,

the world got hold of Him and ate Him as food or just

eliminated Him. Human beings have always been

watching and waiting for His Advent. THIS TIME

AROUND HE HAS COME WELL PREPARED. As the

world was waiting to devour Him, He was getting

ready to take the world by surprise. HE HAS COME

TO ASSERT TO MANKIND HIS SUPREMACY. IF IT

WERE POSSIBLE FOR MANKIND, AND IN FACT THE

CHURCHES, TO HAVE A MORE POWERFUL BEING

WHO IS CAPABLE OF ELIMINATING THE HOLY

FATHER, THEY WOULD HAVE EMPLOYED SUCH A

PERSON.

Men are mourning and gnashing their teeth. They are

now at cross roads. Now is the time for all men to

refrain from all vices, otherwise, they should pray

fervently for themselves. What is needed is complete

abstention from sin and total submission unto God.

Anyone who surrenders himself to God does not

need to eat or drink conventional food and water. It

is the Holy Spirit that will feed and sustain the one.


THE SUPERNATURAL TEACHER, AND

SOLE SPIRITUAL HEAD OF THE UNIVERSE

BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR

Excerpt from the gospel:THE HOLY SPIRIT IN AFRICA

……………………………………………………………………………

*OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST CAME IN HUMAN FORM

and moved from place to place and by that He was

exposed to certain stumbling accidents, but now, HE

HAS COME, NOT TO MOVE PHYSICALLY FROM

PLACE TO PLACE BUT TO WROUGHT WONDERS

FROM A CORNER OF THE WORLD




EXCERPT FROM THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL : THE

HOLY SPIRIT IN AFRICA

THE YOUTH FELLOWSHIP:

Don't you know that man is the most expensive

asset in the world? Even if he has crooked legs,

broken eyes, he is very useful in the world. He has

an assignment. WHEN IN 1977 THE CHURCHES IN

CALABAR AND ALL OVER THE COUNTRY UNITED

TOGETHER TO WAGE WAR AGAINST

BROTHERHOOD, THE YOUTH FELLOWSHIP WAS

FORMED TO COUNTER THE EVIL INTENTIONS OF

THE CHURCHES. The so-called BIG MEN ran away

and hid themselves. Members of those churches

thought they were warring with the Father alone and

that they could catch Him as they did to our Lord

Jesus Christ. They did not know that there is a

multitude that they could not cope with. The big men

had their role to play while others carried out the

combat. They went on doing underground work,

urging others to go on with their support, financial or

otherwise. If you go to government, police or any

place throughout the nation, Brotherhood is there.

Every one of us has different assignments. What a

truthful person can do, a liar cannot do it. A liar, a

thief, a fornicator and the rest of the people have

their different assignments. No person is completely

useless. THAT IS WHY DEATH IS NOT YET

DESTROYED BECAUSE IT HAS NOT COMPLETED ITS

OWN ASSIGNMENT. IF THERE IS ANYTHING GOING

WRONG SOMEWHERE, IT WILL BE INFORMED TO GO

AND DO ITS WORK.

That is why when you are told to forsake sins, you

frown that you are doing it bit by bit, saying that you

are only doing it as a hobby, to safeguard something

that, afterwards you will take your hands off

everything entirely.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT:

THE GOVERNMENT HAS REALIZED THAT IT IS

UNWISE TO CONTINUE TO EXECUTE MURDERERS,

BUT THEY HAVE TO DO IT, OTHERWISE ANY

PERSON CAN JUST TAKE UP A KNIFE AND GET TO

THE MARKET AND START CUTTING OFF PEOPLE'S

HEAD WITHOUT ANY CAUSE. THEY ARE JUST

PUNISHING THEM TO KEEP DOWN THE MENACE. IT

IS ONLY WHEN THE FULLNESS OF TIME COMES

THAT THEY WILL COMPLETELY ABANDON THE IDEA

OF KILLING THE MURDERERS.




Excerpt from: EVERY CREATION HAS A SPCIFIC

ASSIGNMENT

2Ti 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous

times shall come.

2Ti 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves,

covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers,

disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

2Ti 3:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers,

false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of

those that are good,

2Ti 3:4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of

pleasures more than lovers of God;

2Ti 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the

power thereof: from such turn away.

2Ti 3:6 For of this sort are they which creep into

houses, and lead captive silly women laden with

sins, led away with divers lusts,

2Ti 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the

knowledge of the truth.

2Ti 3:8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood

Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of

corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.

2Ti 3:9 But they shall proceed no further: for their

folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also

was.

A GREAT FIGHT AGAINST GOD:

* Contrary to the purpose, for which they were

ordained, the ordained ones have turned it to a

symbol of influence and terror. They feel all should

bow down and worship them because they are

ordained.

* I have not ordained anybody a Bishop so that he

may rob shoulders with Me or rule over anybody.

Ordination is a mere formality. It is no passport for

you to cause commotion in the fold.

* I HAVE NOT ORDAINED YOU TO LORD OVER

ANYBODY RATHER, I HAVE ORDAINED YOU TO GO

INTO THE WORLD AND SPREAD THE WORD OF GOD

* THEY PREFER TO GO ROUND THE REMOTE AREAS,

TELLING THE BRETHREN THERE TO WORSHIP THEM

THAT THE FATHER HAS SENT THEM TO RULE THEM.

They do not even know how to preach the word of

God, not to mention of them practicing it.

If you appreciate positions and agitate to be there

for life, like most of you are fond of doing, it then

means you have forgotten about the main object of

your call to this Kingdom. Where then lies your hope

of survival in the turbulent days ahead? GONE ARE

THE DAYS WHEN THE FLESH WAS RULING THE

WORLD. THIS IS THE ERA OF THE ELECTS OF GOD

AND THEIR FATHER. You would recall, when the

mother of the two sons of Zebedee requested of

Christ to give her two sons, the authority to sit by

His sides in the Kingdom of God, Christ told her that

it is not His place to grant such request, but that it

shall be given to them for whom it is prepared for by

His Father. Matthew 20: 20-23 And again you have

been warned not to call any man teacher, for all men

are brethren. THERE IS ONLY ONE MASTER AND

THAT IS CHRIST. THE EFFECT OF THIS HAS COME

TO PLAY IN YOUR MIDST TODAY.

At the moment, there is no doubt that if Brotherhood

of the Cross and Star were to be a man-made

Kingdom, the so-called ordained ones would have

destroyed it, even before now. They have used their

capacity as ordained ones to stage a great fight

against God. But unfortunately, they have not

succeeded. I HAVE NOT ORDAINED YOU TO LORD

OVER ANYBODY RATHER, I HAVE ORDAINED YOU

TO GO INTO THE WORLD AND SPREAD THE WORD

OF GOD. You are not ordained because of your good

works rather you were ordained so that the power to

heal the sick, raise the dead and spread the gospel

would be bestowed on you. You are not supposed to

apply this power negatively but positively which is

the purpose for which it was meant.

Contrary to the purpose, for which they were

ordained, the ordained ones have turned it to a

symbol of influence and terror. They feel all should

bow down and worship them because they are

ordained. They allege all their actions to be right,

simple because they are ordained. Most of them,

from the day they were ordained till date, they have

not entered the hall again. THEY PREFER TO GO

ROUND THE REMOTE AREAS, TELLING THE

BRETHREN THERE TO WORSHIP THEM THAT THE

FATHER HAS SENT THEM TO RULE THEM. They do

not even know how to preach the word of God, not to

mention of them practicing it.

They command and scold people at the slightest

misdeed and proclaim themselves big men. In fact, if

these so-called ordained ones were to be given the

go ahead, they would have really dealt hard with

others. I have not ordained anybody a Bishop so that

he may rob shoulders with Me or rule over anybody.

Ordination is a mere formality. It is no passport for

you to cause commotion in the fold. Position or no

position, if you do not practice the word of God, you

are perished. But as many as practice the word of

God, they are free and worthy of the Kingdom.

Do not allow your head to get swollen because

you have been ordained. Do not be misled by the lust

for the material things of this world at the expense

of the work of God else, you will not be counted

worthy of this Kingdom. I have not ordained anybody

to confirm the existence of a particular tribe,

interest group or state, in the scheme of things in

this Kingdom. This is a universal Kingdom, devoid

any form of division. There is nothing like factions in

this fold. No Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Rivers etc. We

are all one, as far as this Kingdom is concerned.

Read the golden text again:




Excerpt from: EVILS OF MATERIALISM

IF THOU HADST KNOWN, EVEN THOU, AT LEAST IN

THIS THY DAY, THE THINGS WHICH BELONG

UNTO THY PEACE! BUT NOW THEY ARE HID FROM

THINE EYES.

Luk 19:37 And when he was come nigh, even now at

the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole

multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and

praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty

works that they had seen;

Luk 19:38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh

in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory

in the highest.

Luk 19:39 And some of the Pharisees from among

the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy

disciples.

Luk 19:40 And he answered and said unto them, I

tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the

stones would immediately cry out.

Luk 19:41 And when he was come near, he beheld

the city, and wept over it,

Luk 19:42 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at

least in this thy day, the things which belong unto

thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.

Luk 19:43 For the days shall come upon thee, that

thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and

compass thee round, and keep thee in on every

side,

Luk 19:44 And shall lay thee even with the ground,

and thy children within thee; and they shall not

leave in thee one stone upon another; because

thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.

Joh 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give

unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.

Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be

afraid.

Joh 14:28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go

away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye

would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father:

for my Father is greater than I.

Eph 2:14 FOR HE IS OUR PEACE, WHO HATH

MADE BOTH ONE, AND HATH BROKEN DOWN

THE MIDDLE WALL OF PARTITION BETWEEN

US;

Eph 2:11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time

past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called

Uncircumcision by that which is called the

Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;

Eph 2:12 That at that time ye were without Christ,

being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and

strangers from the covenants of promise, having

no hope, and without God in the world:

Eph 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes

were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

Eph 2:14 For he is our peace, who hath made both

one, and hath broken down the middle wall of

partition between us;

Luk 19:45 And he went into the temple, and began

to cast out them that sold therein, and them that

bought;

Luk 19:46 Saying unto them, It is written, My house

is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of

thieves.

Luk 19:47 And he taught daily in the temple. But the

chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the

people sought to destroy him,

Luk 19:48 And could not find what they might do: for

all the people were very attentive to hear him.

LOOKING UNTO JESUS THE AUTHOR AND

FINISHER OF OUR FAITH; (HEB 12:2)

Heb 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed

about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay

aside every weight, and the sin which doth so

easily beset us, and let us run with patience the

race that is set before us,

Heb 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher

of our faith; who for the joy that was set before

him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is

set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Heb 12:3 For consider him that endured such

contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be

wearied and faint in your minds.

1CO 14:33 FOR GOD IS NOT THE AUTHOR OF

CONFUSION, BUT OF PEACE, AS IN ALL

CHURCHES OF THE SAINTS.

1Co 14:32 And the spirits of the prophets are

subject to the prophets.

1Co 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion,

but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

BUT IF ANY MAN BE IGNORANT, LET HIM

BE IGNORANT. (1Co 14:38)

1Co 14:37 If any man think himself to be a prophet,

or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things

that I write unto you are the commandments of the

Lord.

1Co 14:38 But if any man be ignorant, let him be

ignorant.

Act 20:21 TESTIFYING BOTH TO THE JEWS, AND

ALSO TO THE GREEKS, REPENTANCE TOWARD

GOD, AND FAITH TOWARD OUR LORD JESUS

CHRIST.

PAUL’S CONFESSION:

HOWBEIT FOR THIS CAUSE I OBTAINED MERCY,

THAT IN ME FIRST JESUS CHRIST MIGHT SHEW

FORTH ALL LONGSUFFERING, FOR A PATTERN TO

THEM WHICH SHOULD HEREAFTER BELIEVE ON

HIM TO LIFE EVERLASTING.

1Ti 1:12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath

enabled me, for that he counted me faithful,

putting me into the ministry;

1Ti 1:13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a

persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy,

because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

1Ti 1:14 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding

abundant with faith and love which is in Christ

Jesus.

1Ti 1:15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all

acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world

to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

1Ti 1:16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy,

that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all

longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should

hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.

1Ti 1:17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal,

invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory

for ever and ever. Amen.

Act 20:18 And when they were come to him, he said

unto them, Ye know, from the first day that I came

into Asia, after what manner I have been with you

at all seasons,

Act 20:19 Serving the Lord with all humility of mind,

and with many tears, and temptations, which befell

me by the lying in wait of the Jews:

Act 20:20 And how I kept back nothing that was

profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and

have taught you publickly, and from house to

house,

Act 20:21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to

the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith

toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

Act 20:22 And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit

unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall

befall me there:

Act 20:23 Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in

every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide

me.

Act 20:24 But none of these things move me, neither

count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might

finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I

have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the

gospel of the grace of God.

Act 20:28 TAKE HEED THEREFORE UNTO

YOURSELVES, AND TO ALL THE FLOCK, OVER THE

WHICH THE HOLY GHOST HATH MADE YOU

OVERSEERS, TO FEED THE CHURCH OF GOD,

WHICH HE HATH PURCHASED WITH HIS OWN

BLOOD.

Act 20:25 And now, behold, I know that ye all,

among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom

of God, shall see my face no more.

Act 20:26 Wherefore I take you to record this day,

that I am pure from the blood of all men.

Act 20:27 For I have not shunned to declare unto

you all the counsel of God.

Act 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and

to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath

made you overseers, to feed the church of God,

which he hath purchased with his own blood.

Act 20:29 For I know this, that after my departing

shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not

sparing the flock.

Act 20:30 Also of your own selves shall men arise,

speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples

after them.

Act 20:31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by

the space of three years I ceased not to warn

every one night and day with tears.

Act 20:32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God,

and to the word of his grace, which is able to build

you up, and to give you an inheritance among all

them which are sanctified.

Jas 5:19 Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth,

and one convert him;

Jas 5:20 Let him know, that he which converteth the

sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul

from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.

Luk 22:31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold,

Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift

you as wheat:

Luk 22:32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith

fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen

thy brethren.

Luk 22:33 And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to

go with thee, both into prison, and to death.

Luk 22:34 And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock

shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt

thrice deny that thou knowest me.

1Co 14:20 BRETHREN, BE NOT CHILDREN IN

UNDERSTANDING: HOWBEIT IN MALICE BE YE

CHILDREN, BUT IN UNDERSTANDING BE MEN.

1Co 14:19 Yet in the church I had rather speak five

words with my understanding, that by my voice I

might teach others also, than ten thousand words

in an unknown tongue.

1Co 14:20 Brethren, be not children in

understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children,

but in understanding be men.

1Co 14:21 In the law it is written, With men of other

tongues and other lips will I speak unto this

people; and yet for all that will they not hear me,

saith the Lord.

1Co 14:22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to

them that believe, but to them that believe not: but

prophesying serveth not for them that believe not,

but for them which believe.

BUT HAVE RENOUNCED THE HIDDEN THINGS OF

DISHONESTY, NOT WALKING IN CRAFTINESS,

NOR HANDLING THE WORD OF GOD DECEITFULLY

2Co 4:1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as

we have received mercy, we faint not;

2Co 4:2 But have renounced the hidden things of

dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling

the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation

of the truth commending ourselves to every man's

conscience in the sight of God.

2Co 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them

that are lost:

2Co 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded

the minds of them which believe not, lest the light

of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image

of God, should shine unto them.

Joh 14:29 And now I have told you before it come to

pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might

believe.

Joh 14:30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you:

for the prince of this world cometh, and hath

nothing in me.

Joh 14:31 But that the world may know that I love

the Father; and as the Father gave me

commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go

hence.

2Ti 3:9 BUT THEY SHALL PROCEED NO

FURTHER: FOR THEIR FOLLY SHALL BE

MANIFEST UNTO ALL MEN, AS THEIRS ALSO

WAS.

PERILOUS TIMES

2Ti 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous

times shall come.

2Ti 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves,

covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers,

disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

2Ti 3:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers,

false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of

those that are good,

2Ti 3:4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of

pleasures more than lovers of God;

2Ti 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the

power thereof: from such turn away.

2Ti 3:6 For of this sort are they which creep into

houses, and lead captive silly women laden with

sins, led away with divers lusts,

2Ti 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the

knowledge of the truth.

2Ti 3:8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood

Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of

corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.

2Ti 3:9 But they shall proceed no further: for their

folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also

was.

PROVERBS

Joh 16:25 These things have I spoken unto you in

proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no

more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew

you plainly of the Father.

Joh 16:26 At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I

say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you:

Joh 16:27 For the Father himself loveth you,

because ye have loved me, and have believed that

I came out from God.

Joh 16:28 I came forth from the Father, and am

come into the world: again, I leave the world, and

go to the Father.

Joh 16:29 His disciples said unto him, Lo, now

speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.

Joh 16:30 Now are we sure that thou knowest all

things, and needest not that any man should ask

thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth

from God.

Joh 16:31 Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?

Mat 13:10 And the disciples came, and said unto

him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?

Mat 13:11 He answered and said unto them,

Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries

of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not

given.

Mat 13:12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given,

and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever

hath not, from him shall be taken away even that

he hath.

Mat 13:13 Therefore speak I to them in parables:

because they seeing see not; and hearing they

hear not, neither do they understand.

Mat 13:14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of

Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and

shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and

shall not perceive:

Mat 13:15 For this people's heart is waxed gross,

and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes

they have closed; lest at any time they should see

with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and

should understand with their heart, and should be

converted, and I should heal them.

Mat 13:16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see:

and your ears, for they hear.

Mat 13:17 For verily I say unto you, That many

prophets and righteous men have desired to see

those things which ye see, and have not seen

them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and

have not heard them.

Eph 2:1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead

in trespasses and sins;

Eph 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to

the course of this world, according to the prince of

the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in

the children of disobedience:

Eph 2:3 Among whom also we all had our

conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh,

fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind;

and were by nature the children of wrath, even as

others.

Eph 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great

love wherewith he loved us,

Eph 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath

quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are

saved;)

Eph 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us

sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

GREATER LOVE:

Joh 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a

man lay down his life for his friends.

Joh 15:14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I

command you.

Joh 15:15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the

servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I

have called you friends; for all things that I have

heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

Joh 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen

you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring

forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that

whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name,

he may give it you.

Joh 15:17 These things I command you, that ye love

one another.

THE WISE AND PRUDENT

Mat 11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I

thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth,

because thou hast hid these things from the wise

and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

Mat 11:26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in

thy sight.

Mat 11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my

Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the

Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save

the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal

him.

Mat 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are

heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Mat 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me;

for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find

rest unto your souls.

Mat 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is

light.

Joh 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I

will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit

of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he

shall testify of me:

Joh 15:27 And ye also shall bear witness, because

ye have been with me from the beginning.

Joh 18:19 The high priest then asked Jesus of his

disciples, and of his doctrine.

Joh 18:20 Jesus answered him, I spake openly to

the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in

the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in

secret have I said nothing.

Joh 18:21 Why askest thou me? ask them which

heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they

know what I said.

Joh 18:22 And when he had thus spoken, one of the

officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm

of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest

so?

Joh 18:23 Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil,

bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest

thou me?

THAT I SHOULD BEAR WITNESS UNTO THE

TRUTH. EVERY ONE THAT IS OF THE TRUTH

HEARETH MY VOICE.

Joh 18:37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a

king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am

a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause

came I into the world, that I should bear witness

unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth

heareth my voice.

Joh 18:33 Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall

again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art

thou the King of the Jews?

Joh 18:34 Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this

thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?

Joh 18:35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own

nation and the chief priests have delivered thee

unto me: what hast thou done?

Joh 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of

this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then

would my servants fight, that I should not be

delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not

from hence.

Joh 18:37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a

king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am

a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause

came I into the world, that I should bear witness

unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth

heareth my voice.

AN ENEMY HAS DONE THIS

Mat 13:24 Another parable put he forth unto them,

saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a

man which sowed good seed in his field:

Mat 13:25 But while men slept, his enemy came and

sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.

Mat 13:26 But when the blade was sprung up, and

brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.

Mat 13:27 So the servants of the householder came

and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good

seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?

Mat 13:28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done

this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then

that we go and gather them up?

Mat 13:29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up

the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.

Mat 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest:

and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers,

Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in

bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into

my barn.

Mat 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives,

the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell

us, when shall these things be? and what shall be

the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the

world?

Mat 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them,

Take heed that no man deceive you.

Mat 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I

am Christ; and shall deceive many.

I HAVE OVERCOME THE WORLD.

Joh 16:32 Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now

come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his

own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not

alone, because the Father is with me.

Joh 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that

in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall

have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have

overcome the world.

HUMILITY Rom 12:1 I beseech you therefore,

brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your

bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God,

which is your reasonable service.

Rom 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be

ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that

ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable,

and perfect, will of God.

Rom 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto

me, to every man that is among you, not to think of

himself more highly than he ought to think; but to

think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every

man the measure of faith.

2Ti 3:12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ

Jesus shall suffer persecution.

2Ti 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse

and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

2Ti 3:14 But continue thou in the things which thou

hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of

whom thou hast learned them;

2Ti 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the

holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise

unto salvation through faith which is in Christ

Jesus.

2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God,

and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for

correction, for instruction in righteousness:

2Ti 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect,

throughly furnished unto all good works.

Luk 17:20 And when he was demanded of the

Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come,

he answered them and said, The kingdom of God

cometh not with observation:

Luk 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo

there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within

you.

Luk 17:22 And he said unto the disciples, The days

will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the

days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.

Luk 17:23 And they shall say to you, See here; or,

see there: go not after them, nor follow them.

Luk 17:24 For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of

the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other

part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be

in his day.

Luk 17:25 But first must he suffer many things, and

be rejected of this generation.

Mat 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and

shall deceive many.

Mat 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the

love of many shall wax cold.

Mat 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the

same shall be saved.

Mat 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be

preached in all the world for a witness unto all

nations; and then shall the end come.

Mat 24:22 And except those days should be

shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for

the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

Mat 24:23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo,

here is Christ, or there; believe it not.

Mat 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and

false prophets, and shall shew great signs and

wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they

shall deceive the very elect.

Mat 24:25 Behold, I have told you before.

Mat 24:26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you,

Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he

is in the secret chambers; believe it not.

Mat 24:27 For as the lightning cometh out of the

east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also

the coming of the Son of man be.

Mat 24:28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will

the eagles be gathered together.

Mat 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation

shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

Mat 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my

words shall not pass away.

Mat 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man,

no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

LUK 17:30 EVEN THUS SHALL IT BE IN THE

DAY WHEN THE SON OF MAN IS REVEALED.

Luk 17:26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall

it be also in the days of the Son of man.

Luk 17:27 They did eat, they drank, they married

wives, they were given in marriage, until the day

that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came,

and destroyed them all.

Luk 17:28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot;

they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold,

they planted, they builded;

Luk 17:29 But the same day that Lot went out of

Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven,

and destroyed them all.

Luk 17:30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the

Son of man is revealed.

2Ti 3:12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ

Jesus shall suffer persecution.

2Ti 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse

and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

2Ti 3:14 But continue thou in the things which thou

hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of

whom thou hast learned them;

2Ti 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the

holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise

unto salvation through faith which is in Christ

Jesus.

2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God,

and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for

correction, for instruction in righteousness:

2Ti 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect,

throughly furnished unto all good works.

1 CHAPTER ONE

TH~ EXPECTED MESSIAH

FIRST LBSSON: JOlll'! 5 : 3_1 • 33 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness whfCh he witnessetb, of me is true. Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.

SECOND LESSON:_MlliN 5-i 41_ ~-43 I receive not honour_ from men. Bet I know you, that ye have not the love of God· in ycu. I am come in my Father's name, an,P ye receive me not; if another shall come in his own narr.e, him ye will receive.

GOLDEN TEXT;__JQHN _l ~- Ul ~ 12 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew liim not. He came unto his own, and his own receive him not. 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:

BEWARE OFJ.l'lf'.OSTOKS: Beloved brethren, what I want to reveal to you is the· actual

word of God that has manifested today in the world. The Israelites ~re still expecting their Messiah. They believed that He has not come. yet. Even now, if you dare mention the name of Jesus before them, they would turn against you and seek all means to kill you. This is because, they-believe that, the one who come in the name of Our Lord Jesu~ Christ was only an impersonator.

Now, in some foreign countries many have arisen claiming that, _they are the Messiah, and being that the people have been~ anx'4oµs(y waiting for them, they rejoiced and received them warmly and offered all good things to them, but, at the end, they

'

I

2 r found ·out that, they were impersonators and fakes. Considering the United States of America for example, which

is well known to most of you here, about three people have emerged claiming to be Christ, the people gave them red carpet reception and presented them with assorted gifts items which should have been given to·God. The people worshipped them, paid homage to them, built houses for them and many other things, but at the end th~y discovered that they were impostors. Such instances are numerous in the world. Also in China, there were certain people who impersonated Our Lord Jesus Christ; if you go "to India the same thing happened, and at the end, the people fou:id out the truth, but they are still bel:eving that, the real Christ 1as not yet come.

GOD'S lVA"f OONFOIJNbs MAN: l have already told you that, in the United States of America,

the people have built a certain mansion specifically for Our Lord Jesus Christ, that when He shall come back. He would dwell in the mansion and would not think of going to reside in another house in the U.S.A., or any other country. As such, the Americans have kept so much wealth. prepared everything in readiness for Him. They are still waiting for him believing that, Christ has not yet come. . '

The ways of God always eonfounds the wisdom of man. Go to Israel., you would see that, all the beautiful buildings are built by the Americans they have resolved to develop that place all in search of Our Lord Jesus Christ. so that Christ would be pleased t<> go to them if He should come again. But the truth is, they do not know that He is even the person ~ccomplishing-all the things In. the whole world. Now the question is, who is the creator of heaven and earth and all the beautiful things we see in the world today1 He is in the w~rld today doing all manner of things but, the world does not recognise Him.

DIE SBABCJt CONJ1NIJES: Brethren, in Europe, Germany and even Yugoslavia all are

waiting and searching anxiously for the arrival _of the Messiah.

3 For all had agreed that, before the year 2000, He would be h~re in the world to do His work~ Now, the year 2000 is almost around the corner. We would enter into that wonderful y~ar, but the search is still on. Therefc;>re, you can now see that, ttle people 9f the world are tired ofgazing at the sky waiting for Him t9 crashlaftd. Their belief is that He shall·c~ashland from the sky, as s.uch, they. watch and search the skies seriously to know where and when He shall come. Some years ago, those in China sold all their belongings, buildings and everything they had In li~ed took a· trip to see Ood, that surely, 'He has arriv~~t, that, thi Is the right time to see Him', but they did not know where to l te him,'° all their efforts were in vain. Besides, people are still looking for our Lord Jesus Christ, not kno~ Ing that He is here with us doing /his marvellous works day and 1ight in all ways spiritually. The ways of Ood always confound the wisdom of man and people

- have not actually appreciated His presence.

DIE WORW IS BLIND: . I want you to understand that, this Is

-

the same Ood people are persecuting. The people of the c:purches are SB.Ying that, our Lord Jesus Christ had died and t~y conduct services in His memory. They even think that everyt;hing about Him Is a forgotten issue, that He is no more in the Y/orld, as suth,·no~y sees Him. They erroneously Infer that If Christ were to be on earth, most of the things happerling ln~-the world would not have happened. They fall to· kn~w that He is actually In the world today accoanpllshlng every'thing by Himself. TtJey therefore continue to search for Him.

Let our first lesson be read.

fDlSI_ LESSON: JOHN .5tM~ 33 If' I bear wltriess of myself, my witness Is not true. There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness.which he witnesseth of me Is

~ true. Ye sent unto-John, and he bare witness unto the truth.

4 £llRIST lS_DIEDWJ'H: . · Brethren, I want you ·to undersJand·that, the word of God is

nothing but the truth; all tlm.~is the truth and nothing but the truth. ·Brethren, recall tfie story·of that Samaritan Woman: .when she had gorre out in seam:h of water in the city, ·on her w~y back, she met Our Lord Jesus· Christ· who deman4ed that she should9fve. him some water to drink. The wom~ ·remembedng how bard it w$ .for_Jler to fetch that water. ref~d giving water to OurLord Jesus Christ under the prete,xt that she Was a Samaritan and Our Lord Jesus ChriSt was a Jew,· as such 1they had nothing in common, and that it was not possible for Christ' tp fe~ch the' water because the w.ett was very deep. ana she fouffi'.1 ·lt bard to ·fdch it.

· Our Loi'd Jesus Christ told· her, "i you knew the gift of -God and· who 'is He that istsaying to you 'Clive me a drink', you wouldhave askf:d him and He would.have given yqu living water".· (John 4: I0). The woman shouted and pleaded with Christ to give her the living water, that she may not need t6·go to the well to draw .aga:m-: .Ati that 1>0int, Our Lord Jesus Christ told her to go and f.etch her hu~band, and she siiid that, she had no husband, then <thrist t-old her "you are right in saying, "I have no husband" for younave married five husbands and. he whom you have now is not- yaurhusband, this you said truly" .(John 4: 17 • 18). The wtJu1an:"was so surprised that somebody could,teJl her all what hacf happened· in the past. As such, she ran into the village .(Jnd ..called.the villagers to.come and see·somebody who never kpew berbat wasable.to say all that had happened-about her.

'; "

CONDUCT OF THE TKlIB WOKSHIPfEKS: The woman also told ChrisL that, their fathers had been

worshipped in a certain mountain in their city. She queried why the people should worship God., Christ told her'that .a time would come whenCod;wiU:be worshipped n~itheron the mountain nor in Jerusalem, butthe'real worshippers of God shall wor$~lp Him. in spirit and' in truth. Christ also told her that, they worshipped what they did not know but He worshipped what he knew, the true God: for aaivation was from the J~ws.

5 lm__WHQ_ TESTIFIBS OF HIMSELF JS_ FAKE, :f:

Brethren, while they were still walking~ the woman told ,Qµr Lard Jesus Christ that, she really did not know Him. She pleaded with Christ that when He shall came, He should reveal everything unto them. They were anxious to knowso many things anq only Our Lard Jesus Christ could reveal these things to them. And as shew~ still talking, she never knew.that, she was walking_wittithe Christ. Christ had said that he.could not testifyabout himself except others do and bear witness to him., "If I beanwltrwss~to myself, my testimony is not true,- there' is another ·who, bears witness to me, and I know that the testimony which, he ~to

I

me· is true" (John 5: 31). ,;

nIE._WQRLD DISBELIEVES mE TRlml Our Lard Jesus Christ: was,;willing to reveal HintselftQ-tbe

woman that-He was the LardJesus·Christ, butthe wotnan14d nc•t believe, so.as to confirm that biblical portion that, itia-'9ome other persan that would bear witness·about another. · If )1!0U- Ufte:, go round the streets, go to any country you like to inform .peiaple that you are Christ or God or you can do this_;andithat... ·Y•un use microphones,. talking drums, or any mediUm to announce to the people, but they will not heed your words except~~r person bear witness of testifies of the ~aodwork$.yau:have~.

flBST Wl'fNRSS: JOHN 4: 25.• .z2. , i ! .n The woman saith unto him, I know that Messiahs cometh, which is called Christ: whelt he is c.o.tMrhe_i. ·, .; will tell us all things. .Jesus said ·unto her,·.I' that:· 1

woman: yet no man said, what seekest thou? Qr why ., · tal·kest thou with her? ~ ~ ~~

CHRIST DWELLS WfDI US: , , ,~,w ·Brethren, can you see the ways of God? That Samaritan wom.n

was walking with Our Lord Jesus Christ and even when Christ

6 revealed Himself unto her, she still did ~ot believe. Today, many people are still waiting for Our Lord Jesus Christ. They always conclude their prayers with "Until Ch~st comes.· back". The question is, where had Our Lord Jesus Christ been to? Some people say that, He was killed thr9ugh crucifixion on the tree, that He was buried and now lives in the sky. If It is true that He ls still remaining in the sky, lwho is responsible for all the things we see today In the world? Who is the cteator of man? who makes all the important discoveries and inventi~ns such as the aeroplanes and buildings? Who is the one giving lives and many others to man? who does all these? If He had gone, what would happer. to tfis children that are scattered throughout the world today? .

· Whc. is responsible for all these things SE:.en today? Is it not Christ? Christ i~ here on earth, but ~e world does not know Him. They call H~m several names, Uke~pire, beelzebub and all sorb1 of names. They stoned Him, ock°ed at and spat on Him~ But the impostors are accepted and orshlpped. The world believes that they (impostors) are the C rist, the owners of heavens and earth thus showered them with gffts. .·

Ood Hlm~lf Is here doing everything by Himself, yet the world · la still waiting and searching for Him. Brethren, all these things happens so that one may understand that this kingdom is not gotten as a result of personal efforts through, himthat willeth or tunneth but by Ood who showeth mercy (Romans 9:. 16) ..

GOD: DIE ALL 11'1 ALL: I · If Ood does not reveal Himself unto you, no matter how hard .you try to know Him you will not succee~, "Ood is like a .cJlameleon, which, wherever it finds Itself, trle~~-adapt to the colour of the place. Similarly, if Ood is passing by or works·..

. through somebody who is wearing a white garment, His colour would be white. If He Is working through somebody who is

·wearing a green dress or through grasses, His colt>ur would be given. -Qod can also come in multifarious forms, shades, times

7 God is like that, no one can know His ways. Even His ~isciples

whom He lived and walked with were not able to comprehend Him. When He resurrecte4, He saw them discussing their fate and the fate of their master'who had been crucified and was no more with them. Christ asked them, what they were discussing about, but they were annoyed and started questioning Him saying, ·Are you the only visitor in Jerusalem, who has not know what had happened to us? ·A certain man came and served us in everything, and He was killed, but, we understand that, He has resurrected, are you the only person that has not heard of this story? The disciples were so much annoyed. But this was the same man who [email protected] b{"en walking with them for quite some t:me, yet He was with them and they krtew him not. This is how God operates.

GOD: 'JllE-iEVERLAS'DN<i MYSTERY: · Brethren, the Chrl:;t Witnesses Natural Body has a spe clal

anthem whi~h goes.. thu~ "though God stays with you for thousands of years, if He does not reveal Himself unto you, you can never know Him". Th~ is quite true, the song is nothing but the truth.

FOR YOU MAY CRY AND PRAY TO QOD TO GIVE YOU A GOOD WIFE, ANO.EVENTUALLY, GOD WILL TRANSFORM~NTO A WOMAN TO COME AND STAY WITH YOU FOR SO MANY YEARS, AND WILL BE UNTO YOU A WIFE INDEED. But, without His revealing His identity to you, you will not know. You may ~so be looking for a child and He will come to you as· child. He·Himselfwill bedirectly ~taying together ¥tith you, but you will not ~ow that, that is God . staying with you· except you are told. He also may come as a servant, business partner or in any way, because of the kind of demands and petitions you make before Him, and if you are not told, you would just take it for grant~, as one of those things that happen In the world without knowing that~ tt Is ·clod Himself to you~ ~'$ ways are mysterious. If He does ·not reveal Himself to

8you, go to anywhere, nobody will be·able to· ~ow and to tell you what'happening. God is such a wonderful being that, you cannot distinguish His left from right; you. cannot equally knew the way .

SECOM> LESSON: dQllN; 5: 41 _LA.1 · I receive not honour from men. But, I know you,

mE· EVERLASTING KING: Brethren, the 144,000 Virginshave SUDQ:.in:their.~~that,

the glory in this kingdom .~ot .be rattain~d 1n. th~ flesh apd cannot be compared with th~·conventional avenues'of attaining glory: in the world, like elections into certain positions. _, God1 did not attain His own glory through such means. If you: disagree, then who voted for Him? Nobody: God's glory is natural. NobOdy crowned Him a king, no 'nation, family, not his. father,, He was just born like that, as the King, no~ by voting. It is for this reason that, the bible states thus: ·1 acknowledge that you do not have the love of God in your heart, I have come in my.Father's name, y~t you do not l'eceive me, but; if any man, shall come in his own name, you shall rejoice with him". Brethren, has this thing not come to stay?

You are witnesses to the fact that, the whole world is anxiously waiting for the coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ, that, He shall come from the sky, but I want to ask you, can you inform your enemy about your plans and itinerary? Many people have prepared theirweapons ofwar that when He shall .come, they will eliminate Him. If He was to come from the sky nobody would have seen His rem~ins.

9 ln His first advent, the three wisemen went toJ1erod and aske.p,

"where is the one who is born as the King of the Jews; for we have seen the sign and have called to bow down and \:\'Orship Him". When Herod heard of this thing, he called them privately, and asked them, "Where does this thing happen?" They told him, Herod commanded them, "go, when you see him, come back and inform me, so that, I will also go to worship Hi~" ... ~µt, was that his intention, was that. the truth? Since Herod had different intention, the angel of God ministered unto J0seph at that particular moment to take the child on exi~ to Egypt because Herod was planning to kill Him. The same angel went to . the. three wisemen nnd instructed them to take another r:>ute back home. After Herod had waited for the wise:menfor a long time without seeing Lhem., he went to find the child himself. Since Christ was then a baby, he (Herod) would have suc.ceeded in killing him.

Since Herod'n intention was to kill Him, the angel of the Lord instructed Joseph to take Christ on exile to Egypt and settle there until further notice. They stayed there for a long.time until Christ grew up and people could not recognise him again. When Herod died, God instructed them to return to Nazareth.

'l1IB .IMPORTANCE OF CAID'ION:. . Brethren, have you nqw understood the nature .of the world?

A local adage has it that any anim.(11 that had once been trapped would always be wary of tanY benc:fed stick. Whenever such an animal come across any bended $tlck it will run away thinking that it is a trap. Now that God is back on et;lrth.. He is wellequipped. It is therefore left for you to recognise Him.

Amongst the whites, blacks, women, men and children, He has done marvellous things, but people are still adamant,. t1:ley are still refusing to recognize His presence, most people prodaim being Christ, claiming tJ;tat they can heal the sick, raise the dead and perform other ~iraculous works; that they have come in their glory 1as God.

10 ·mosE WHO IMrEBSONATE.OOD: I

Brethren, let them continue to impersonate God for after a moment people will discover that they are liars. I want to let you understand that ther.e. will neyer .come .a time in .. the_. history of mankind that God will declare ta__ttis__people that HeJs_ God or Jesus, but thus_ewhomake.sucbdeclarations.areJfam.andyou should be wary.Of them.

When they..are. moving about, .great number of people wllLac.compahy them ._.and the hall willbe empty.

VINTAGE IMPOSTOR. S: Some of them will carry certain mysterious stones and Llaim

to be capable of heaHng certain sicknesses and doing wonderful works. for instance, one person at lkom was like this, he established a Brothert:ood·Bethelat lkom~ called nsofang b~lhel. So many things had been happening since then, the person even said _he was John the Baptist, therefore, nobody In Brotherhood had the right to baptise him that he baptised Christ, that he is God, and has come into Brotherhood to do wonderful things. even our brother Henshaw is also in the list, that time he wore some wonderful and flamboyant dresses, tellh1g pt!Ople that; who

,1 ever Olumba cannot heal, such a person should be brought to him because he has all the powers to heal; for he ls greater than Olumba, and he is even God, that Olumba ls working under him.

There was another per8on Who was the brother-in-law to this brother Henshaw, he also claimed that he was God and had acquired power greater than any other person on earth. He also said that the kind of ol) he had, our father Olumba has not. The man proclaimed that, he has wonderful oils to cure sickness ahd solve whatever problems mankind may have.

Brethren, so many people had come with different names claiming to be God. Qod Himselfknows that the world does not love Him. I want to tell you that if you know certainly that there is a certain place you are not loved, you will be so seared of such

11 a place, that is why God is playing c~ol. He wants only those people He has revealed Himself to, to ~now Him. As such, God .Himself cannot blow His trumpet aroun4 the nooks and crannies \of the world that He is God, He cannot do that. Members of Brotherhood said "this man, our Father has c:tisgraced us because we have been telling the whole word that 'tte is God, why should He come up with such a publication". ~I am NOT GOD BUT OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU". They even threatened to tear the books, and I promised them that, if they tore those books, I would reprint them in numbers so that, it would go round the whole world.

I cannot tell the world that, I am God because. it is only the world ~.hat loves falsehood and hates the truth. It is only people who g.J around making false claims that are honoured.

GOD: Tim SOl.JKCE OF ALL POWEBS: Certain members here in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star

had b€ en given up to four or five. cars in the :ourse of the works they have able to do through our Father. All praises and glory are given to these people, but the Father who owns all the power, who is the source, has not been reCQgnised.

Recall when late Bishop Professor klahosa came· to Calabar, he said that. he was coming to pray for Olumba Olumba Obu; He further added that, Olumba was under him as his subordinate. Yes, he was free to say all these thinas. But, where i~ .he today? It is only God who has all the power, but he claimed that, he ha~ all the power, and that he has come to pray for Leader ,Olumba Olumba Obu.

Brethren, it is not he that praises himselfthat is worthy,- but. ... .

he whom God praises. God will never tell you that He ~

is God, but, through Hjs actions, deeds and when He has revealed Himself to.·you, then will you realise that, truly, He is the Ood of host.

Brethren, impostors abound .evef"Y\tlhere. Another set are those who put on red garments. The Christ Witnesses' had beaten

<, '

up so many of them who claimed to be Gpd, and ~ollected most of these ~arments. One of them is a secr~t~, Brother U.moh, from Ikono, he came dressed in f"".:.;d garm~nt to .worship in the

12

,.

hall, and was interrogated by the ;children of God. So many of them have different colours of soutanes in thE;ir

homes. Many people paid.· homage to them, built houses for them, bought cars and render other benevolent services to them. But, they are not the true ones~ The word must be fulfilled. God can pass away, but the words of God shall ·never pass away until all come to manifestation. ·

SECOMlWITNESS: ROMANS -9L11_~_17 (For the children being not yet born, neither havi~g done any qood or evil, that the purpose of Gott according to election might stand, not of works; but 1

of hirn that calleth): It was said unto her, t1e elder shall .3erve the younger. As.it is written, Jae.ob have l loved, but Esau have I hated. What shaH we say then? Is there unrighteousness with ·God? God forbid. For he saith to Moses, I will have rr ercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. So then it is:not

·of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that showeth mercy. For the scriptur.e saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have 1· raised thee up, that I might show my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth. ·

MAN'S GREATEST ACHUWEMENT: . · Brethren, have you understood the content of. that excerpt? The greatest thing :trl.. the whole world today is God· revealing Himself to you. And to those God has revealed Himself to, they know Him quite well and believe also in Him. Apart from that, the rest do not believe in him. Irrespective of the extent of ministry work you may embark upon, claiming that you are Jesus or God; whether here in Brotherhood, Apostolic or any other place in the wnrld, know that, it is not he that praises h~mself

.____ !_hat is f~und wo1thy, but, he whom God praises. As stilch, if

13 anyone comes to your house, proclaiming to be Jesus or God, you. ~an stm be generous to him but know that, he is one of the false prophets parading themselves around the world today.

BELmVE NOT IMPOSTORS_: Our Lord Jesus Christ cannot come to you to say He is God

H·imself if He does, you will beat Him up and you wilt not believe in Him at all. But, the one that is God cannot tell you exactly that tte ls Jesus or Qod; it is only the false prophets that would do that. They wlU also say all sorts of unheard-of things~ Brethren, do' not believe in them because their claims are all fallacious. 5ehold, God Himself ·s conscious of th_e fact that, people do not love nor accept Him .ind that the whole world is bereft ofLove. The real children of God, therefore, are those He has revt..aled Himself to. Brethren, let the golden text be read.

~OLDEN'TEXT:~ .JOHN Ii 10 ;. l2 Ne was in the world and the world ,was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his

Plm·REQUISl1E FOK BECOMING A CHILD OF GOD: Brethren, have you understood the theme of our gospel today?

A woman may conceive today and have the believe that she will glve'birth to Jesus as people prophesy, but this may not happen. 'l\lso, somebody may have a child and hope that, the child woUld become Jesus, but this cannot be.

An instance of this is that child from Congo (Zarie). whom people claimed his mother conceived/him through the Holy Spirit. This is· not true: · The Father is here. He Is here in the world performing all His things by Himself. The Sister was innocently living in her place and God visited her spiritually and revealed to

I her how ~hese things would come to manifest. But He did not

L

14 put her·in family way. · . 1 . • . .

All we need to·do-is,to believ~-that, He is always here with us on earth doing everything. - He t.ndertakes all taskS; . farming, trading, schooling, marrying and givinerJ~·~age and other •numerous works here on earth. AH.th~ ~91'.ivities of the Fath~ is the cause of our j.oy here on earth.· lf;y()U dQ .no rejoice with Him, how wilt. you know him? As it is ~ed~in Ute l;\~ble "To all th~t receive Him, He gives them the right tQ ~me~~\ldr:~n ofOod~: This is why I 1;1111 telling you that, it is only in Br~~ that you can.see,the children of God..Go to the sea or any place at all, you ~not see the real children of God.

All who rejoice and belbve. in Him are His children. If you do not believ:e 'in <something, :rou will. 11ever rejoice in it. Ifyou do not rejoice with Him; wou~d-,y~ ~ associatecj with Him? Nol You would not. This does not happen ·beeause of their works or any activity at all. That is·what I have for you. If yoµ observe fast in other to.know bim, you ·Nould never succeed. If you donate money, .your money w.m not enable you to know Him. Af? such~ when you rejoice with Him, have f~h in Him, surrender yourself to Him, you have been given that right; you are a, child of God.

Have you not seen·Christ's exampl~? \Vhen He came, His brothers and Sisters did not receive Him, nor believe in Him, becr,uc;;e of this they were not children of God.

; . '• l,: , ~f, ,,; _,

GOD £MnOT BE KN.OWN BY_fl.ESH MID RIOOD: In the· wbole land of .Israel, nobody received Him. You are

·still cursing, hating, blasphemingand perpetrating all vices against your fellow brethren. HclVe you not hear-d of this sayiri~ that all those who received Him, are children of God? This,dsnot the

. handiwork of the flesh and . blOQd -but ~h;;s.t of the Holy Spirit. Hence, this.is the theme of i0ur sermon; . Observe now in Brotherhoqd,"'people are visiting Biakpan

everyday, bathing in the Biakpan water and ob~erving ma.nY; other things. Ofwhat importance is their action an<) ofwhat impo$~ce is yours? Even here in Brotherhood, what has been their work and what havt... y. ;U done yourself? You testify having vehicles,

/

15 ships, houses, power and many other things, but what have you done for God, nothingl Rather; when you go out, you start claiming to be God, that you can do several works. ·Brethren, this is· the actual fact because, action speaks louder than words. ·Upon all the things you do, have you seen me reacting? Realize that, it has already been stated ·that,. to aH those that receive- Him, He gives them the right to become the children of God.- - , , · -; i

'DIE BLASPHEMER IS ftOT Of'_ GOD: . Brethren, at the end of every preachment, Christ always sakl,

"He who has ears, let him hear".- I am tellihg you that. ifany~ ,, approaches you, and starts proclaiming to be Goct .or Christ, realise : that, he ia a false prophet coming to deceive you. Anybody that believes In· -sucit _a persan ·tacks «>ve~ ,-· Whot.;venblasphemes ~ainst Chri~t. Qod or the 11oly4pirit will not Und Qod.

Anybody that hat~ the Holy Spirit, blasphemes,against Him orcaiistflm drty bad name cannot be a child o" OOd.-;.;:,,

--:SPIRlllJAL CHORUS: (1) JOY' ALONE ABOUNDS IN THE THRONE Of' GOO. (2) THERE IS~JeY LIKE AKIVER IN·MY HEART.

MAN._ Yl>UB. CREATOR: Brethren, the central idea in this sermon is that all those that

. receive Him are given the right to become the children of Qpd.. He may be your co-tenant and you may be seeing him everyday, bl.at you will not know Him. You may continue asking Who is He and where is He? You can never know Him because you do not receive Him nor appreciate His presence. And unless you receive Him you cannot become His child.

Raising the dead, making the lame to walk, _restoring sight to the -blind or making the deaf to hear cannot qualify you as a child of God. Even here in Brotherhood, some members are still contemplating that, Jesus is this and that, but this cannot qualify them as the children of God.

All those who receive God, accept Him, and render service to

16 Him in one mind, are the ones He has given the right to become children of God. If your mothtt'!and father do not believe in Him, they have no share in this kingdont•·-Same applies to your children, your wife or your husband;-, if, they clo not believe in Him they are not children of Ood and ~have,not share in the kingdom of God. All those.who have, faith inHil'.n and believe: in Him are ·an children of God.

Brethren, I do not intend to take you much ~A-.flll also repeating the words of Christ, that He who has; ears to,~I let him hear. May God bless His Holy words. Amen.

PRESENTS: I AM NOT GOD BUT OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU

SUPERNATURAL TEACHINGS,

BIBLE CLASS LESSONS AND

EVERLASTING GOSPELS

BY:

LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU THE SUPERNATURAL TEACHER, AND

SOLE SPIRITUAL HEAD OF THE UNIVERSE


* Brethren, I must tell you that the work you see here

is not done by any man, angel or prophet, or even by

the Son; BUT IT IS THE FATHER WHO IS AT WORK

NOW.

*You must know that even though you are gods, YOU

ARE NOT GOD. And although you are sons, you are

not THE SON. You must know that this is the time to

give God His due glory. Do not seek any glory again

because THE ONE THAT HAS THE LEGAL RIGHT HAS

COME TO RULE.

* I would like to recall to your mind the great works

done by Moses and others. Moses used the staff

before Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and demonstrated

some sorts of powers. Our Lord Jesus Christ came

and brought many dead people back to life. But how

many people were converted for God? How many

were changed from their former ways of life? But

today you have been transformed, and given a new

personality in accordance with the Divine Will. Is

Obu the one that has changed you to be what you

are?

*BRETHREN, I HAVE EXAMINED MYSELF VERY

WELL. I DO NOT HAVE ANY POWER OF MY OWN. I

HAVE NO WISDOM OF MY OWN. I AM NOT A

PREACHER NEITHER AM I THE DOER OF ANYTHING.

YOU MUST KNOW THAT EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE

GODS, YOU ARE NOT GOD. AND ALTHOUGH YOU

ARE SONS, YOU ARE NOT THE SON. YOU MUST

KNOW THAT THIS IS THE TIME TO GIVE GOD HIS

DUE GLORY. DO NOT SEEK ANY GLORY AGAIN

BECAUSE THE ONE THAT HAS THE LEGAL RIGHT

HAS COME TO RULE.

* Those who charge money for the powerful works

they perform do so because they perceive that

power belongs to them. This is false. All of you are

God's vessels and tools. Therefore give glory to God

in all that He does from day to day. Brethren, put this

gospel into practice because the Son has

surrendered all things to the Father, and the Father

has become all things.

TO CALL ME A LEADER IS CORRECT BECAUSE GOD

HAS PROVIDED A LIVING EXAMPLE FOR YOU IN ME

IN ORDER TO LEAD YOU TO GOD'S KINGDOM. THE

QUALITIES YOU SEE IN ME ARE FOR YOU TO

EMULATE. But to call me God, NO PLEASE, I am not

the one. The reason I do not worry myself to move

from one place to another to preach is because the

Father is here, and all things have been subjected to

Him, and He is the one doing all things. He is the one

to reconcile the whole world to Himself. Under Him I

am free, just as you are.

* God who is now on earth has instructed us to love

one another just as He loves us. You must obey His

voice. We must love Him because He loves us, and

calls us His children. Our being gods is also because

He wishes us to be thus, all to His glory. Today He

has informed us that all things have been subjected

to Him, and that all glory should be given to Him. God

has come down to rule this world for eternity. Go and

tell the world that Christ, angels, prophets, and the

children of God are here to witness the rule of God

over the universe. God's words never go unfulfilled.

* Today the talk of the town is that Brotherhood of

the Cross and Star has subdued all forces and

powers in the world; a clear evidence that God has

taken control over all things. Yes, for years the little

salt given you was insufficient for your meal. This

was so in terms of power of the angels, prophets and

even, the Son. But now the source of all dynamic

powers has arrived. All things animate and

inanimate, seen and unseen must submit to the

SUPREME BEING, THE GUEST OF THE TIME. ALL

KINGDOMS, RULERSHIP, ALL POWERS AND

AUTHORITIES MUST BOW TO THIS GREAT RULER,

THE ALMIGHTY GOD.

* Sometimes you may see a sick person who was

taken to the hospital, and he recovers; and because

of your lack of faith, you doubt God's presence; and

when you are sick you would want to be admitted

into the hospital, but you may die there. It is true

that God is everywhere. But you must acknowledge

His presence, and capability of doing all things. HE

IS A SPIRIT. HE IS IN ME AND IN YOU AND IN ALL

THINGS. WHAT IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH MEN IS

POSSIBLE WITH GOD. WE SHOULD WORSHIP HIM IN

SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH AS THE ONLY CREATOR OF

ALL THINGS.

* Those who spend their time to think of a

successor to Leader Obu when He dies are very

unreasonable people. And those who are outside,

and are trying to see the end of Leader Obu so that

Brotherhood may cease to function, are also very,

very unreasonable. Is the work in Brotherhood of the

Cross and Star done by the leader? Whether I am

here or not; one thing stands out. These works will

continue because the doer is here by Himself; and

He is God, the Father.

Many of you have been stricken with fear when you

hear that you will no more see the Leader. That is to

put faith in you. When you see before you believe;

that is not faith. Faith is the assured expectation of

things hoped for, the evident demonstration of

realities though not beheld.

It is because of lack of faith that some of you do not

attend meetings that the Leader would not attend,

and do not honor any letter or circular that is not

signed by the Leader. Blessed are those who do not

see, and yet believe. Believe as from today that God

is the one doing these works.

These works are not done by Leader Obu or Olumba

Olumba Obu or O.O.O. God is the one who created

this O.O.O., and that God is the one doing His works

now in the universe. I give glory to God who has

come to rule the world. Therefore all that you do,

whether in songs, prayer and worship, do them to

God. Do not worship man, do not give glory to man.

Do not enslave man. Worship God, and give Him

glory; for He is now on earth.

* Some of you have seen God face to face; but you

are still doubting in your minds. Do not keep your

eyes on the things you see but rather on the things

unseen; for the things seen are temporary, but the

things unseen are everlasting. Some of you get

worried when you are not able to see the Leader.

Does it mean that God does not see you? Put not

your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom

there is no help. O.O.Obu is a man like you are, but

God is God forever. O.O.Obu can go anywhere just as

you can, but God is omnipresent.

Go and tell the world that you made a mistake when

you told them that the work done here in

Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is performed by a

man. Because what you see here and what you have

heard done here is not anything that can be done by

man, angel, prophet or the Son. Tell them that God

has come to dwell with men, and that God is the One

doing all these things.

* If you say that a man is the one doing these things,

then it is like saying that God lives in a building. But

is God so small as to live in a building? NOT AT ALL!

God remains FAITHFUL AND TRUE TO HIS

PROMISES, although man may stumble and fall.

THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD THAT CONTROLS THE

UNIVERSE. There is no division. There is neither

male nor female, young or old. ALL ARE IN UNION

WITH THE LORD. ALL WERE CREATED BY THIS ONE

GOD THAT CONTROLS THE UNIVERSE; AND TODAY

HIS TABERNACLE IS HERE WITH HIS CREATURES,

TO DWELL WITH THEM, AND BE THEIR GOD

FOREVER.

* The works you now witness in Brotherhood are

done by the Father; and all thanks and praises, glory

and honor must be given to God the Father for His

benevolence. I have no power of my own. I do not

read from any book of this system of things. Take it

from me that God is the one doing the things now on

earth according to His promise. Some of you who

have children do discipline them to mould them up in

a good way. But in your case who disciplines you

here? Who suspends you here in order to become

useful vessels unto God?

* Have you ever seen anyone suspended in

Brotherhood? This is another evidence that God has

come down personally to change His children, and

reconcile them to Himself. To be candid, God is the

one who instigates the world to ask you all these

questions about the power in Brotherhood. BECAUSE

HE IS A JEALOUS GOD, HE DOES NOT WANT HIS

GLORY TO BE GIVEN TO ANY OTHER; FOR HE

DESERVES EXCLUSIVE HONOUR. FOR ALTHOUGH

THE PEOPLE MAY BELIEVE WHAT IS DONE HERE IN

BROTHERHOOD, THE MERE FACT THAT YOU SAY

THAT THIS WORK IS DONE BY A MAN, MAKES IT

BECOME INCREDIBLE.

EVERLASTING GOSPEL

I AM NOT GOD BUT OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU

First Bible Lesson: Revelation 11:15

"And the seventh angel sounded; and there were

great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this

world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of

His Christ; and He shall reign for ever and ever."

Second Bible Lesson: 1 Corinthians 15:28

"And when all things shall be subdued unto Him,

then shall the Son also himself be subject unto Him

that put all things under him, that God may be all in

all."

Golden Text: Revelation 21:3

"And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying,

Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He

will dwell with them, and they shall be His people,

and God Himself will be with them, and be their

God."

Brethren the Word of God is not something that can

be revealed through human wisdom or to be

interpreted by the wisdom of this world. It is not

something that is written down on papers. It has

been fixed from the foundation of the world. If you

subtract or add to it you make yourself a

confusionist, and must suffer the penalty.

It is an undisputable fact that no one hates

Brotherhood. The problem is that you members of

Brotherhood do not abide by the Word of God you are

given from day to day. You have left what you should

do, and gone to do what you are supposed not to do.

This is where the confusion lies. For you to say that

a man is God, or that Olumba Olumba Obu is God,

puts you out of gear. God has been doing his work by

Himself from the beginning of creation. Adam,

Moses, Abraham or Christ did not say that they were

God. Even Jesus Christ simply said that He was the

Son sent by the Father. Now God has come by

Himself to do His will, and exalt His glory.

There is no doubt that the Son is also with all the

hosts of heaven. IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOD'S

DIVINE PURPOSE THAT, AT THE FULLNESS OF TIME,

HE WILL MAKE HIS DWELLING AMONG MEN, HE HAS

NOW COME TO DWELL WITH YOU. It is foolishness to

keep waiting for the Son of God in the sky or in the

clouds; for this is not the time for son, angel or

prophets. BUT IT IS THE TIME FOR GOD TO

MANIFEST HIS MULTIFARIOUS GLORY TO MANKIND.

ALL THE CHILDREN OF GOD ARE HERE. IT IS TIME

FOR ALL GLORIES, GRATITUDE, PRAISES AND

THANKS TO BE GIVEN TO GOD DIRECT; FOR HE IS

HERE TO MANIFEST HIS WILL ON EARTH.

YOU ARE ALL WITNESSES. THE ENTIRE WORLD IS

MY WITNESS, EVEN THE ANGELS, THAT I HAVE

NEVER SAID THAT I AM GOD; AND THAT I HAVE

NEVER DENIED THAT IT IS THE FATHER WHO IS

DOING ALL THE WORK BEING DONE ON EARTH

TODAY.

IN AGES PAST, THE FATHER WAS STILL THE ONE

WHO WAS DOING HIS WORK THROUGH

INTERMEDIARIES. BUT THESE INDIVIDUALS WERE

GIVEN THE PRAISES INSTEAD OF GOD. NOW AT THE

FULLNESS OF TIME, GOD HAS COME IN PERSON TO

RECEIVE ALL PRAISES, HONORS, AND THANKS

THAT ARE DUE HIM. MOSES CONFESSED THAT HE

WAS NOT THE ONE DOING THESE WORKS IN HIS

DAYS. But his brothers attributed all glories to him.

The same with Jesus the Christ. He used to

proclaim: "I CAN DO NOTHING OF MY OWN WILL;

FOR I DO NOT DO MY WILL BUT THE WILL OF HIM

THAT SENT ME". (John 5:30). Yet the followers gave

the glory to Jesus Christ. FOR THIS REASON GOD

HAS COME TO RECEIVE THE GLORIES DUE HIM

BEFORE THE WORLD WAS.

God had sent angels and prophets to do these works.

They were unable. He finally sent His Son. They held

Him as the heir, and killed Him. WHOM DO YOU

THINK THEN THAT THE FATHER WILL SEND? HE

NOW COMES BY HIMSELF AS THE OWNER OF THE

VINEYARD. FOR NOW THE QUESTION IS: WHAT WILL

THE OWNER OF THE VINEYARD DO TO THOSE WHO

KILLED HIS SON, THE HEIR? Read Matthew chapter

twenty-one. HE DID NOT PROMISE TO SEND THE

SON AGAIN; BUT TO COME HIMSELF AFTER THIS.

THIS GENERATION IS VERY FORTUNATE TO SEE

THE DAY THAT GOD HAS COME DOWN PERSONALLY

TO RECEIVE HIS GLORIES AND HONOURS.

IT IS TRUE THAT THE VISIONERS HAVE BEEN ABLE

TO SEE THAT CHRIST IS NOW ON EARTH. BUT HAVE

THEY BEEN ABLE TO SEE THE PAROUSIA OF THE

ONE WHO CREATED THE HEAVENS AND THE

EARTH? THIS GREAT PERSONALITY HAS COME TO

MAKE HIS DWELLING PLACE AMONG MEN. IT IS

SAID THAT THE ONE TO GOVERN WILL GOVERN

WITH AN IRON ROD AND THAT THE GOVERNMENT

WILL TAKE CONTROL OVER THE EARTH. THIS IS

THE FATHER'S GOVERNMENT IN POWER.

Although people must have had the belief that God

does all things, this is not enough; because the

glories and honors were not given to God but to

intermediaries. Take up your Bible. Refer to all

publications. Take a cursory glance at the world

today. See the rulers and the governments of

mankind, and you will be convinced that the Bible is

inspired, and not the work of any human imagination.

Worldly wisdom or technical know-how does not

come in here. THIS GOVERNMENT IS THEOCRATIC.

Therefore for you to tell people that Leader Olumba

Olumba Obu is God, you have automatically made

God to be a man. That is why people suspect that

there is some hidden power underneath in

Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. FOR, ACCORDING

TO THEM, JESUS CHRIST WHO WAS THE SON OF

GOD CAME AND DIED; AND HAD AT NO TIME

SPOKEN IN THE FIRST PERSON. BUT HERE IS

LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU, AN ORDINARY

HUMAN BEING THEY KNOW, AND YOU SAY HE IS

GOD. WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF HE DIES? WHAT WILL

HAPPEN TO BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND

STAR? WHO WILL BE ABLE TO STEP IN AND DO HIS

WORKS? THESE AND MANY OTHER FLIPPING

QUESTIONS ARE PRESENTED TO THE WORLD BY

THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD.

IN FACT THEY WILL GO AS FAR AS SAYING THAT

MOSES CAME WITH SOME POWERS, BUT HE DIED.

THEY WILL MENTION QUITE A NUMBER OF GREAT

MEN WHO TROD THIS EARTH BUT DIED; AND THEY

WILL ASK YOU WHETHER LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA

OBU WILL NEVER DIE. BECAUSE IF HE DIES, HIS

FOLLOWERS WILL BE SUBJECTED TO GREATER

SUFFERINGS, SINCE THERE WILL BE NO ONE TO

LEAD THEM AND PERFORM THE MIGHTY WORKS

NOW SEEN IN BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND

STAR.

From day to day you are faced with such questions,

to which you have give them the answers that you

feel are correct because you are responsible for

these questions. You do not abide by the truth

preached to you. You show lack of faith in God. Have

I ever told you that this power is mine; or that I have

any power of my own? Have I ever told you that I

even exist at all? Moses and others who came were

powerful people. Jesus the Christ was powerful. BUT

ALL I KNOW IS THAT NOW, THE GOD WHO CREATED

THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH HAS COME DOWN

TO MAKE HIS DWELLING AMONG MANKIND. HE IS

THE ONE DOING ALL THESE WORKS, AND NOT

MYSELF.

In the time of Moses you will remember that there

was power by the use of the Ark of the Covenant,

and the use of the Staff.

There was the burning of incense and lighting of

candles. Have you ever seen me using a Staff,

burning incense, lighting candles, drawing circles,

using consecrated handkerchiefs, holding a wooden

or metal cross or the like?

This is not the time for incantations. IN THE TIME OF

JESUS THE CHRIST HE MOVED FROM PLACE TO

PLACE. HE PREACHED OPENLY IN MARKETPLACES.

HE WOULD SPEAK, AND THE DEAD WOULD RISE. HE

AT TIMES WOULD TOUCH THE BLIND, AND THE

BLIND WOULD RECEIVE THEIR SIGHT. HAVE YOU

EVER SEEN ME MOVING FROM ONE PLACE TO

ANOTHER, OR EVEN PRAYING FOR THE SICK, OR

TOUCHING THE INFIRM TO GET WELL? But many of

these dead ones today have come back to life. The

blind ones are daily receiving their sight; and even

greater works are going on without a word.

WHO THEN IS DOING ALL THESE WORKS? IS THIS

NOT CLEAR EVIDENCE THAT THE OWNER OF THE

VINEYARD HAS ARRIVED? GIVE GLORY TO THE

FATHER, FOR HE IS HERE HIMSELF DOING HIS

WORKS. When you talk of powerful works, you may

mention Lazarus who died for four days, and was

brought back to life by Jesus. Jesus had to go to the

grave, and pray tearfully, before Lazarus came back

to life. Jesus Himself died only to come back to life

after three days. But today we have seen something

more significant, something more striking. WE HAVE

SEEN SOMEONE DEAD, AND COME BACK TO LIFE

AFTER SEVEN DAYS. THE RAISING OF THE DEAD IS

A HOBBY IN BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND

STAR.

THESE GREAT WORKS ARE ACCOMPLISHED

WITHOUT A WORD OR FORMALITIES. THESE ARE

CLEAR EVIDENCES THAT THE FATHER IS NOW HERE

DOING HIS WORKS. Just fancy the number of insane

persons that are brought here. No physical treatment

is given to them; and, in fact, all they do is remain

here; and when their time is come, they go home

completely healed. And what about your personal

problems and difficulties? Do you not witness how

they are overcome without the assistance of

anyone? Does this not prove to you that these works

are not done by any human being but by God

Himself? Why not give the credit to God; or does God

not merit this glory?

This is where the world is confused when you tell

them that Leader O. O. Obu is God, and that Leader

O. O. Obu is the one doing all these works. DO YOU

NOT SEE HOW CONFUSED THEY ARE? FOR THEY

LOOK AROUND, AND AT NO TIME DO THEY SEE

LEADER O. O. OBU MOVING FROM ONE PLACE TO

ANOTHER. HOW THEN DOES HE PERFORM THESE

THINGS? MAY BE THERE IS SOME HIDDEN THING

UNDERNEATH; THEY SUSPECT, AND GIVE IT A

NAME.

MANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN MEMBERS OF SOME

SECRET SOCIETIES. YOU HAVE BEEN MEMBERS OF

DIFFERENT RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS. DID YOU

EVER SEE YOUR LEADERS APPEARING TO YOU

PHYSICALLY, IN DREAMS OR OTHERWISE? DID

THEY TAKE AWAY YOUR PROBLEMS AT YOUR MERE

SIGHT OF THEM? DID YOU SEE THEM SPEAKING

JUST A WORD, AND IT TAKES EFFECT AT ONCE?

Brethren, I must tell you that the work you see here

is not done by any man, angel or prophet, or even by

the Son; but it is the Father who is at work now.

I would like to recall to your mind the great works

done by Moses and others. Moses used the staff

before Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and demonstrated

some sorts of powers. Our Lord Jesus Christ came

and brought many dead people back to life. But how

many people were converted for God? How many

were changed from their former ways of life? But

today you have been transformed, and given a new

personality in accordance with the Divine Will. Is

Obu the one that has changed you to be what you

are?

I had publicly told you that I have never been a

member of any church or society. I have never

received any education of this world except as a

child. The works you now witness in Brotherhood are

done by the Father; and all thanks and praises, glory

and honor must be given to God the Father for His

benevolence. I have no power of my own. I do not

read from any book of this system of things. Take it

from me that God is the one doing the things now on

earth according to His promise. Some of you who

have children do discipline them to mould them up in

a good way. But in your case who disciplines you

here? Who suspends you here in order to become

useful vessels unto God?

Have you ever seen anyone suspended in

Brotherhood? This is another evidence that God has

come down personally to change His children, and

reconcile them to Himself. To be candid, God is the

one who instigates the world to ask you all these

questions about the power in Brotherhood. Because

He is a Jealous God, He does not want His glory to

be given to any other; for He deserves exclusive

honor. For although the people may believe what is

done here in Brotherhood, the mere fact that you say

that this work is done by a man, makes it become

incredible.

First Bible Lesson: Revelation 11:15:

"And the seventh angel sounded; and there were

great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this

world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of

His Christ; and He shall reign forever and ever."

WHERE THEN ARE THE WISE MEN? WHERE THEN

ARE THE DEBATERS OF THE FACT? GOD HAS MADE

THE WISDOM OF THIS WORLD TO PERISH. ONLY

GOD'S WISDOM RULES SUPREME. GOD IS HERE TO

RULE; AND SO HE HAS MANEUVERED THE

KINGDOMS OF THIS WORLD TO BECOME HIS AND

THAT OF HIS CHRIST, AND HE MUST RULE FOREVER

AND EVER. THEREFORE, IF YOU HAD REGARDED

YOURSELF AS A WISE PERSON, PLEASE BECOME A

FOOL SO THAT YOU MAY BECOME WISE. (1 Cor

3:18).

IN THE WORLD TODAY YOU CANNOT SEE ANY

STABLE GOVERNMENT. THE SAME WITH SCHOOLS,

INDUSTRIES, UNIVERSITIES, AND OTHER

ESTABLISHMENTS. INDUSTRIAL ACTIONS ARE THE

ORDER OF THE DAY. BOYCOTTING OF CLASSES IS

THE DRILL OF THE STUDENTS. UNREST, HATRED,

CONFUSION AND CHAOS ARE EVERYWHERE.

This is so because this is a transitional period, a

time for handing over the kingdoms of this world to

God. For this reason Jesus the Christ said: "You have

heard that I said to you, I am going away and I am

coming back to you. If you loved me you would

rejoice that I am." (John 14:28). When a person is

sent to a strange land on an errand, he is honored in

view of the person that sent him. But when the

person that sent him accompanies him to that very

place, he who was formerly sent there is no more

given the honour. The Master, who was, now

receives the honour.

THE PROPHETS CAME AND WERE HONORED. THE

ANGELS CAME AND RECEIVED THEIR HONOUR AND

PRAISES. THE SON CAME AND WAS GLORIFIED. BUT

NOW THE FATHER IS HERE WITH ALL THOSE HE

SENT BEFORE. THEREFORE ALL GLORIES AND

HONOUR NO MORE GO TO ANYONE OF THOSE SENT,

BUT TO THE FATHER WHO IS THE OWNER OF THE

VINEYARD.

I AM SPEAKING BOLDLY BEFORE THE ANGELS,

PROPHETS, ALL THE CHILDREN OF GOD, AND THE

ENTIRE WORLD THAT THE WORKS THAT ARE DONE

IN BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR, AND

THE ENTIRE WORLD ARE NOT PERFORMED BY ANY

MAN OR ANGEL OR PROPHET, BUT BY THE FATHER

HIMSELF; AND WHEREVER YOU ARE IN THIS

WORLD, YOU WILL FEEL THE IMPACT OF HIS

POWER. YOU HAVE EVERY REASON TO SING AND

REJOICE BECAUSE GOD'S DWELLING IS NOW WITH

MAN.

Do you know that some of you are angels, some are

prophets, children of God and apostles? THIS

NOTWITHSTANDING, THE FATHER DOES THE WORK

BY HIMSELF. FROM TODAY, AFTER HEARING THIS

GOSPEL, NEVER REPEAT THE MISTAKE TO SAY

THAT LEADER O. O. OBU IS THE ONE DOING THESE

WORKS; OTHERWISE YOU ARE A STUMBLING

BLOCK TO OTHERS. JESUS CHRIST PREACHED AND

PERFORMED MIRACLES. WAS THAT SUFFICIENT TO

TURN THE WORLD OF MANKIND TO GOD?

There is no other force that does this. The fact is

that CHRIST is here in Brotherhood of the Cross and

Star. The angels are here. The prophets are here. All

the children of God are here; AND THE CREATOR OF

HEAVEN AND EARTH IS HERE IN BROTHERHOOD OF

THE CROSS AND STAR. Make no mistake to say that

Leader O. O. Obu is the one doing these works in the

world, otherwise you blaspheme against God by

taking Him to be a mere man. READ THROUGH THE

PUBLICATIONS HERE IN BROTHERHOOD OF THE

CROSS AND STAR. YOU WILL NEVER SEE WHERE I

PROCLAIM MYSELF TO BE GOD; OR HAVE I TOLD

YOU I AM EDUCATED?

I have never attended any school of learning or any

theological seminary to qualify even as a preacher.

But all I say is this: "That the Father who is God is

the one doing these works." But how else can I make

myself clear?

Go to all parts of the world. You will see the children

of God serving God. Have you ever seen me in those

places? Or does God not merit this glory? Or do you

not know that all thanks and glory must be given to

Him now? There is no pastor or prophet or any man

on earth that should be given the glory due to God.

Anyone who receives the glory due to God is a

blasphemer. I have not hidden anything from you; but

have spoken to you publicly and privately that the

Father is the one doing these works. He is the one

that prays, sings, preaches, and performs all the

wondrous works now on earth. Think of it. If a person

does not have even a single kobo (penny); and

people go about saying that he is a millionaire, is

that not mockery and a very shameful thing?

Likewise when you say that Leader O. O. Obu has

power, and that he is the one doing these works, you

are making yourself a liar. I am grateful to God that I

have never at any time told you that I am the one

doing these works. I have at all times attributed all

glory to the Father. Let the second Bible lesson be

read.

Second Bible Lesson: 1 Corinthians 15:28.

"And when all things shall be subdued unto Him,

then shall the Son also be subject unto Him that put

all things under Him, that God may be all in all."

IT IS TRUE THAT GOD SUBJECTED EVERYTHING TO

CHRIST. BUT NOW CHRIST MUST SUBJECT

EVERYTHING TO THE FATHER SO THAT THE

FATHER MAY BE ALL THINGS, AND DO ALL THINGS.

NOW IS THE FULLNESS OF TIME. NOW IS THE TIME

FOR THE GLORY TO BE GIVEN TO THE FATHER

SINCE JESUS CHRIST HAS NOW SUBJECTED ALL

THINGS TO HIM. If you say that all things are done

by the Father, it means that the Son, the angels and

the children of God are inclusive. But if you say you

are the one doing the work, or that the work is either

done by the Son or the angels, you have disgraced

God.

Where then is God? And where were you when the

Son was sent? Did you not hear the Son crying with a

loud voice on the cross, saying: "My God, my God,

why hast thou forsaken me?" That is why the worldly

people say that there must be something hidden

underneath in Brotherhood. Why? Because even

Jesus, the Son of God, came and died; and at times

when they plot against you, and fail woefully, they

wonder what force should have overcome their plot.

Or when in your place of work a termination paper is

made for you, but later turns out to be your

promotion, they become blood-stilled. Or even when

they spend sleepless nights planning evil against

you, and you are enjoying an undisturbed sleep, they

wonder. These and many other surprises give the

world food for thought, that there must be something

underneath here in Brotherhood. Are these

evidences not enough for you to give glory to God?

If in your office you are promoted, and you attributed

the promotion to God by saying: "I thank God for

promoting me, "your boss will be mad at you, and

may most likely withdraw your promotion because

you do not give him the glory. If I had not told you

this thing then you would be correct to say that I am

the one doing the work, but now that I have told you

that God is the one doing all the works, you are

inexcusable. Therefore anyone saying that Leader

Obu is the one doing the work is a liar, and if Leader

Obu says he is the one doing these works, it is false.

God forbid! I HAVE NEVER SAID SO, BUT RATHER

THAT ALL PRAISES AND GLORY SHOULD BE GIVEN

TO GOD THE FATHER THE DOER OF THESE THINGS.

ALL THAT YOU DO HERE, WHETHER YOU KNEEL

DOWN, KNOCK YOUR FOREHEADS ON THE GROUND,

OR ADDRESS A LETTER TO ME, YOU ARE IN FACT

DOING THESE THINGS NOT TO ME BUT TO GOD THE

FATHER.

Brethren, I have examined myself very well. I do not

have any power of my own. I have no wisdom of my

own. I am not a preacher neither am I the doer of

anything. You must know that EVEN THOUGH YOU

ARE GODS, YOU ARE NOT GOD. AND ALTHOUGH

YOU ARE SONS, YOU ARE NOT THE SON. YOU MUST

KNOW THAT THIS IS THE TIME TO GIVE GOD HIS

DUE GLORY. DO NOT SEEK ANY GLORY AGAIN

BECAUSE THE ONE THAT HAS THE LEGAL RIGHT

HAS COME TO RULE.

Those who charge money for the powerful works

they perform do so because they perceive that

power belongs to them. This is false. ALL OF YOU

ARE GOD'S VESSELS AND TOOLS. THEREFORE GIVE

GLORY TO GOD IN ALL THAT HE DOES FROM DAY

TO DAY. BRETHREN, PUT THIS GOSPEL INTO

PRACTICE BECAUSE THE SON HAS SURRENDERED

ALL THINGS TO THE FATHER, AND THE FATHER

HAS BECOME ALL THINGS.

TO CALL ME A LEADER IS CORRECT BECAUSE GOD

HAS PROVIDED A LIVING EXAMPLE FOR YOU IN ME

IN ORDER TO LEAD YOU TO GOD'S KINGDOM. THE

QUALITIES YOU SEE IN ME ARE FOR YOU TO

EMULATE. BUT TO CALL ME GOD, NO PLEASE, I AM

NOT THE ONE. The reason I do not worry myself to

move from one place to another to preach is because

the Father is here, and all things have been

subjected to Him, and He is the one doing all things.

He is the one to reconcile the whole world to

Himself. Under Him I am free, just as you are.

All gifts that you receive are from Him; and all that

you give out are also from Him. I have taught you all

these things. I have given you this truth that God is

the one you must worship; and all glory must be

given to Him direct, and not to any man.

God who is now on earth has instructed us to love

one another just as He loves us. YOU MUST OBEY

HIS VOICE. WE MUST LOVE HIM BECAUSE HE LOVES

US, AND CALLS US HIS CHILDREN. OUR BEING

GODS IS ALSO BECAUSE HE WISHES US TO BE

THUS, ALL TO HIS GLORY. Today He has informed us

that all things have been subjected to Him, and that

all glory should be given to Him. God has come down

to rule this world for eternity. Go and tell the world

that Christ, angels, prophets, and the children of God

are here to witness the rule of God over the universe.

God's words never go unfulfilled.

It was prophesied that a virgin will conceive and

bear a male child. This was so. (Isa 7:14). Another

prophesy had it that a woman will conceive and bear

a male child, and that this child will rule the whole

world (Isa 9:6) with an iron rod (Rev 12:5). This has

also been fulfilled.

Another prophesy said that God will, at His

appointed time, make His dwelling among men (Lev

26:11-12). Today, this prophesy is fulfilled. (Rev

21:3). "God is here now to take control over all

things. Give glory to God, the Father, always."

When Jesus Christ was on the Cross He cried with a

loud voice: "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken

me?" (Matt 27:46 / Mark 15:34). If God did not get out

from Him, He would not have been killed. SO TODAY

THAT GOD HAS COME TO DWELL WITH YOU. WHAT

CAN A MAN DO TO YOU? WHY DO YOU PANIC AND

FEAR? YOU HAVE MAXIMUM PROTECTION,

SECURITY AND SATISFACTION. FOR AGES NOW

MAN HAS TRIED BY HIS OWN EFFORTS TO FORSAKE

SIN. BUT HE HAS BEEN UNABLE. BUT NOW GOD

HAS COME TO CHANGE PEOPLE, AND SANCTIFY

THEM FOR HIMSELF. LET ALL THOSE WHO DO NOT

BELIEVE IN THE EXISTENCE OF GOD WEEP; FOR

THEY MUST SEE GOD IN HIS FULL GLORY AND

MAJESTY NOW. May we hear the golden text.

Golden Text: Revelation 21:3

"And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying,

Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He

will dwell with them, and they shall be His people,

and God Himself shall be with them, and be their

God."

Has this statement not come to pass in this

generation? Does this refer to angels, prophets or

the Son? Never! IT REFERS TO THE FATHER, GOD.

HE IS THE ONE TO DWELL WITH MEN. WHEN WE

TALK OF BROTHERHOOD WE ARE REFERRING TO

THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH AND THE

UNIVERSE.

Today the talk of the town is that Brotherhood of the

Cross and Star has subdued all forces and powers in

the world; a clear evidence that God has taken

control over all things. YES, FOR YEARS THE LITTLE

SALT GIVEN YOU WAS INSUFFICIENT FOR YOUR

MEAL. THIS WAS SO IN TERMS OF POWER OF THE

ANGELS, PROPHETS AND EVEN, THE SON. BUT NOW

THE SOURCE OF ALL DYNAMIC POWERS HAS

ARRIVED. All things animate and inanimate, seen

and unseen must submit to THE SUPREME BEING,

the Guest of the time. ALL KINGDOMS, RULERSHIP,

ALL POWERS AND AUTHORITIES MUST BOW TO

THIS GREAT RULER, THE ALMIGHTY GOD.

Your foremost responsibility is to believe that God is

here on earth; and that the Son, the angels and the

prophets and all the children of God are here to

provide all things for you. HE HAS COME TO REVEAL

HIS SON TO THE WORLD. HE HAS COME TO REVEAL

ALL HIS CHILDREN TO THE WORLD, AND TO

RECEIVE THE HONOUR AND GLORY DUE HIM

BEFORE THE WORLD WAS.

You may not be blamed, in a sense, because when a

sick man is cured he gives glory to the native doctor.

But only a foolish doctor will accept or receive such

glory. Of course, if he receives the glory for having

cured someone; and then another sick person is

brought, and he is unable to cure him or he dies, then

he is a liar. YOU MUST BE VERY CAREFUL SO THAT

YOU DO NOT RECEIVE THE GLORY DUE TO GOD;

BECAUSE GOD REQUIRES AN EXCLUSIVE HONOUR.

Very soon you will see a child of two raising the

dead, or even a robber doing some powerful work.

You will look for a sign but you will be led astray

because you do not believe in the presence of God. It

is because of lack of faith and belief by some people

that God is the One doing this work. That makes

them wander from place to place, from one prophet

to another, and from one pastor to another; and if

they are healed, they attribute such healing to either

the prophet or the pastor.

Sometimes you may see a sick person who was

taken to the hospital, and he recovers; and because

of your lack of faith, you doubt God's presence; and

when you are sick you would want to be admitted

into the hospital, but you may die there. IT IS TRUE

THAT GOD IS EVERYWHERE. BUT YOU MUST

ACKNOWLEDGE HIS PRESENCE, AND CAPABILITY

OF DOING ALL THINGS. HE IS A SPIRIT. HE IS IN ME

AND IN YOU AND IN ALL THINGS. WHAT IS

IMPOSSIBLE WITH MEN IS POSSIBLE WITH GOD. WE

SHOULD WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH AS

THE ONLY CREATOR OF ALL THINGS.

THOSE WHO SPEND THEIR TIME TO THINK OF A

SUCCESSOR TO LEADER OBU WHEN HE DIES ARE

VERY UNREASONABLE PEOPLE. AND THOSE WHO

ARE OUTSIDE, AND ARE TRYING TO SEE THE END

OF LEADER OBU SO THAT BROTHERHOOD MAY

CEASE TO FUNCTION, ARE ALSO VERY, VERY

UNREASONABLE. IS THE WORK IN BROTHERHOOD

OF THE CROSS AND STAR DONE BY THE LEADER?

WHETHER I AM HERE OR NOT; ONE THING STANDS

OUT. THESE WORKS WILL CONTINUE BECAUSE THE

DOER IS HERE BY HIMSELF; AND HE IS GOD, THE

FATHER.

Many of you have been stricken with fear when you

hear that you will no more see the Leader. That is to

put faith in you. When you see before you believe;

that is not faith. Faith is the assured expectation of

things hoped for, the evident demonstration of

realities though not beheld.

It is because of lack of faith that some of you do not

attend meetings that the Leader would not attend,

and do not honour any letter or circular that is not

signed by the Leader. Blessed are those who do not

see , and yet believe. Believe as from today that God

is the one doing these works.

THESE WORKS ARE NOT DONE BY LEADER OBU OR

OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU OR O.O.O. GOD IS THE ONE

WHO CREATED THIS O.O.O., AND THAT GOD IS THE

ONE DOING HIS WORKS NOW IN THE UNIVERSE. I

GIVE GLORY TO GOD WHO HAS COME TO RULE THE

WORLD. THEREFORE ALL THAT YOU DO, WHETHER

IN SONGS, PRAYER AND WORSHIP, DO THEM TO

GOD. DO NOT WORSHIP MAN, DO NOT GIVE GLORY

TO MAN. DO NOT ENSLAVE MAN. WORSHIP GOD,

AND GIVE HIM GLORY; FOR HE IS NOW ON EARTH.

Some of you have seen God face to face; but you are

still doubting in your minds. Do not keep your eyes

on the things you see but rather on the things

unseen; for the things seen are temporary, but the

things unseen are everlasting. Some of you get

worried when you are not able to see the Leader.

Does it mean that God does not see you? PUT NOT

YOUR TRUST IN PRINCES, NOR IN THE SON OF MAN,

IN WHOM THERE IS NO HELP. O.O.OBU IS A MAN

LIKE YOU ARE, BUT GOD IS GOD FOREVER. O.O.OBU

CAN GO ANYWHERE JUST AS YOU CAN, BUT GOD IS

OMNIPRESENT.

Go and tell the world that you made a mistake when

you told them that the work done here in

Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is performed by a

man. Because what you see here and what you have

heard done here is not anything that can be done by

man, angel, prophet or the Son. Tell them that God

has come to dwell with men, and that God is the One

doing all these things.

If you say that a man is the one doing these things,

then it is like saying that God lives in a building. But

is God so small as to live in a building? NOT AT ALL!

God remains faithful and true to His promises,

although man may stumble and fall. There is only one

God that controls the universe. There is no division.

There is neither male nor female, young or old. All

are in union with the Lord. All were created by this

one God that controls the universe; and today His

tabernacle is here with His creatures, to dwell with

them, and be their God forever.

Brethren, those who have ears to hear, let them

hear. May God bless His holy words.

Everlasting Gospel

THE SUPERNATURAL TEACHER,

AND SOLE SPIRITUAL HEAD OF THE UNIVERSE


HIGHLIGHTS:

Olumba Olumba Obu, The Lion Of Judah

You will take note that I am neither Adam, nor

Abraham, nor Moses, nor Elijah, nor John the Baptist,

nor Jesus, nor Peter, nor John, nor Paul. BUT I AM

THAT I AM. HAVE I NOT PRACTICED THE WORD OF

GOD? I have opened the Book. I have closed and

reopened it. I have emptied it and turned it upside

down. I have revealed the contents. I have practiced

and I have taught you. What then remains? Every

person has testified that the Leader preaches the

real Word of God, practices the Word, and that He is

a real man of God. YES, THAT IS MY

QUALIFICATION. But search throughout the world

and mention any person who can open and read and

practice the content of the little Book.

Adam came to the world, married a wife but

because of fornication both of them fell out of the

grace of God. Both John the Baptist and Our Lord

Jesus Christ came and had no wives, and yet could

not practice the Word of God. BUT I COME WITH

BROTHERS, SISTERS AND EVERY OTHER THING,

BUT I AM ABLE TO PRACTICE THE WORD TO THE

SATISFACTION OF EVERYBODY. Somebody going to

remain at a place for a short time goes with only a

briefcase. But a person who goes to live in a place

as his final home must go there bag and baggage.

He Who Believes In Me Shall Do Greater Works (John

14:12)

Our Lord Jesus Christ had only 12 disciples, but

consider our present situation where there are

disciples in all States of the Federation and in India,

Britain, America, Ghana, Liberia, Cameroon, and

many other places. What do you think about that sort

of man? Is there any act of sin you have not

committed, and has any person reprimanded you? Do

you have any problems since your sojourn in this

Kingdom? If you carry any of the equipment away, no

person will prevent you from carrying it away. You

will be encouraged to take it and the next. It will be

replaced by many similar property. When you find

yourself in such a situation, will you not be weak and

discouraged?

Lazarus died and Our Lord Jesus Christ wept. If you

compare the situation with what happens in this

Kingdom, would you say that my eyes would ever be

dry of tears as a result of the number of people who

die from day to day? When He preached to people,

those who did not repent He cursed and pronounced

woe on them. (Matt 11:21). Today the Word of God is

preached to the people that they should refrain from

sin. But you stay before Me and steal, and quarrel,

and fight. Have you ever been suspended or

punished? He took a whip in the temple and

walloped those who bought and sold and changed in

the temple. Of course, He was correct to have done

that because He was the Son of God, and God

Himself, and so He made no mistake. There is no

mistake with God. I am only pointing out to you the

Teaching He Himself has set out.

I Preach And Practice The Word Of God

Go and take your Bible and open from Genesis to

Revelation. You will discover that I have overworked

myself. I have bisected the contents of the Bible. I

have turned it upside down, and I have practiced all

the Words nominate in the Bible. I am not the Christ.

I am not God, nor am I John , nor the Prophet, nor an

Elder, nor any other thing. I am neither a man nor an

apparition. But one thing I know is that I have

preached the Word of God, and I have imparted this

Gospel of God to the entire World. If there is any

person in this world or in another world who says he

can practice the Word of God let him come out and

show himself. If there is any person, whether an

angel or spirit or an apparition bring him to Me. Have

I ever suspended any member, or have I ever cursed

any person? Have I ever expelled you? Whatever has

happened, I only embrace you, no matter what you

commit; because the Word of God directs that I

should embrace such a person since I am enjoined

not to resist an evildoer. What about you? Have you

not been resisting the evildoer? If you feel it is that

simple, demonstrate it to the notice of people. A

great many of you have remained here for more than

twenty (20) years, and you have been advised to

refrain from theft, fornication, exasperation,

falsehood; but you have not refrained from these, or

to forsake sin and not to begrudge any person. Have

you been able to refrain from sin in order to practice

the Word of God?

Boast Not In Carnal Things

I do not boast in money. I have no money. I have

nothing; but I boast in practicing the Word of God. I

would like to tell you categorically that I have

opened that little Book. I have read the contents, I

have practiced the Words, and I have taught others

to practice them, and I have revealed every secret

thing to you. That is what was written about Me, and

that is the purpose for which I came. The Bible says:

"Sell all you have, and distribute the money to the

poor;" (Matt 19:21) and you think that the statement

was a parable. Who tells you it was a parable? It is

no parable. It is nothing but the truth. You should go

and sell all that you have. There is no joke about

this. Refrain from theft, falsehood, fornication,

quarrelling, and other acts of sin. Forsake all your

ways of life, your behaviors and idiosyncrasies.

Forsake your house, clothes, motor cars, wife,

husband, children and indeed your life. Otherwise

you are not worthy of this Kingdom. Again, it is said,

if any man come to Me, and hate not his father, and

mother, and wife and children, and brethren and

sister; yea, and his own life also, he cannot be My

disciple. (Luke 14:26). The golden text should be a

source of happiness and joy to you. You should

rejoice, indeed all the elements do rejoice. Heaven is

rejoicing and earth is rejoicing except man. It is a

truism that man should rejoice because the little

Book has been opened and read, and the contents

practiced, and the same imparted to you. The

implication is that all of you are saved. I do not

mince Word that you will be saved, but that you are

saved, except there is a child of perdition in your

midst.

With The Reading Of The Book You Are Saved

God did not covenant that He will through two

persons save the world. But He said He would

through one person save the world. (Rom 5:19). As

long as somebody has opened and read the small

Book, if you believe in the fellow who can read the

Book, then you are saved. You become free, whether

or not you put the Word of God into practice. Since

someone has successfully opened and read the

Book, you are entirely free. There is no other Book

from where you can read and get salvation. You have

however remained here for 20 to 40 years, and yet

cannot practice the Gospel, but you are free, since

the small Book has been opened and read.

I am not the person reading but the Father, Our Lord

Jesus Christ. But you do not see Him. He opens,

removes the seals, reads the contents and practices

them. But you do not see Him. We should glorify the

Father and magnify His Name. We should no longer

ask questions. Do not be sad and sorrowful. Do not

doubt God who has revealed Himself to you and the

entire world.

Out Of The Fullness Of The Heart The Mouth Speaks

(Matt 12:34)

Many of you stand before people and declare that

the Father is the Lord Jesus Christ incarnate. When

you do this, has any person disturbed you? You have

stood before people in the street and market place

and declared that the Father is the Almighty God. No

person asks any questions. Have you remembered

that Our Lord Jesus Christ only declared that He was

the Son of God, and the people killed Him? But today

you declare that the Leader is Our Lord Jesus Christ,

or He is God. No person asks any question. None

raises an eyebrow. Another person will rise up and

declare Him as the Almighty God who made heaven

and earth. But no person will bandy words with him.

Now there are three which bear witness in heaven.

They are the Father, the Word, and the Spirit. All

three agree.(1 John 5:7).

He Has A Name No One Else Knows (Rev 19:12)

Now if you ever say that the Leader is Jesus Christ,

those who look at you will register a dirty slap on

your cheek, and would tell you that He is the

Almighty God, and Our Lord Jesus Christ is only His

Son. Here also we have another school of thought

which claims Him as Christ incarnate. He has come

back; and they are very firm in what they believe.

Others here also claim that He is not the Christ but

the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, which Our Lord Jesus

Christ promised He would send. Those who hold this

belief are very strong, that no matter how strong the

wind, the stone will not be moved; come rain, come

sunshine.

Who is the Father? Is He not the Son? And who is

the Holy Spirit? Is He not the Son? Then what is your

argument? This equation will actually prove the

point. 0+0+0=0; 0-0-0=0. Why do you bother yourself

unnecessarily? Some refer to Him as a wonderful

man. What is the meaning of your argument? The

answer is still the nought.

To Obey Is Better Than Sacrifice (1 Sam 15:22)

Moses truly said unto our fathers, a prophet shall

the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren,

like unto me, Him shall ye hear in all things

whatsoever He shall say unto you. (Acts 3:22) And it

shall come to pass that every soul which will not

hear that prophet shall be destroyed from amongst

the people. If therefore you argue that he is a

prophet, it is still the same thing. It is the same "O".

If you call Him a wonderful man it still serves the

nought. If you call Him a man of God, it is still the

same nought. Call Him Bishop or Pastor or Apostle, it

is still the same. What you will go away with is that

we all should rejoice because in God all of us are

saved and redeemed. Do not be sad and sorrowful

that you are alone without relations; or that you are

lost or that the country is not auguring well. Since

the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit have come

down to this earth at this end of time, the whole

world is saved. The only proviso is that you should

not indulge in any act of sin. If you have been a thief,

a liar, a murderer, a whoremonger, abstain yourself

from the vices because the owner of the vineyard

has come. He dwells in our bodies. We have a guide

always. Wherever He sends you do not disobey.

Wherever He takes you to, follow and do not doubt

because, being His instrument, He can take us to

any place. The world will be bamboozled for what He

will do with the world. Do not ask for anything, but

glorify Him. Give Him thanks in all things. This is the

time for everything to thank Him, glorify Him and

serve Him.

Brethren, I do not intend to be tedious unto you. One

stroke of the cane is sufficient for the wise. Those

who have ears let them hear. May God bless His

Words. Amen.
