LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
THE SUPERNATURAL TEACHER
AND THE SOLE SPIRITUAL
HEAD OF THE UNIVERSE.
BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS
AND STAR
COMPILED and REFERENCED
BY
While I was traveling to Calabar to attend the world press interview organized for the
Brotherhood Of the Cross and Star (BCS) and a possible close contact interview with Leader
Olumba Olumba Obu, it struck me that my several background research efforts on the man and
the BCS hardly produced any new facts outside the numerous unsubstantiated rumors that
became legend.
On my arrival, Leader Obu instructed that I should be brought to the vestry and I considered it a
vintage opportunity. Leader Obu who had just invited me from the altar was already waiting at
the vestry door in a white tee-shirt and a wrapper. “You are welcome my son. Come in,” Leader
Obu said cheerfully, extending his hand for a handshake. “How do you feel coming in contact
and shaking hands with the one that is called God?" He asked with a disarming smile. I returned
the gesture gratefully and said. “Great, Sir." He said, “But the thing with you Journalists is that
you come into this place only to go back and write falsehood.”
As He gently shut the vestry door behind us, He asked, “My son, have you seen the ocean they
say I have at the door of the vestry?” I said , “No,” as He patiently conducted me through the
rooms in the vestry He said, “Feel free to search anywhere for the Beelzebub pot, the blood bank,
the candles and incenses they accuse me of having in here. You may look under the bed. Feel
the walls,” and I did what he said. As we ascended to the upper apartment, He explained, "I do
not want money, power nor position, yet they say that Father Obu is bad . All I have been
preaching is Love, Peace, Tolerance, Righteousness and Repentance"
Q. But Father, why do they hold such opinion of you?
A. Because I am a ‘rebel.’ I refuse to conform to the world. So they keep on blackmailing me,
because they are ignorant of the truth. The same was evident of the Pharisees and Sadducees who
claim to be the custodians of their religion but became the bitterest antagonists and killers
of Our lord Jesus Christ who they had been waiting for. So it is in this day.
Q. Are you then Jesus, the Christ returned, or God, as your members believe?
A. 'I am neither God nor our Lord Jesus Christ, I am OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU. I am on a
special mission to the world and I have always taught you to love one another. I am not of
this world for I do not speak what the Spirit does not direct me to say. My major
assignment is to reform a sinner, and return him, to standard required by God.
About being called God, it is true many of them do make such pronouncements because of the
wonderful acts which have been performed here. Several infirmities have been cured, hope is
being given to the hopeless and love to the desolate. But it is the Father who has been doing all
these works. The entire world is my witness, even the angels, I have never said that I am God.
And I have never denied that it is the Father who had been doing all the works being done here
on earth.
Q. Why are you called Leader?
A. I am appropriately called a leader because God has provided a living example in me for you
to follow in order to lead you to God's Kingdom. The qualities you see in me are for you to
emulate. I am a model to you.
Q. Father, how would you re-act to this?( As I was speaking as He kept smiling), I have not
seen any Beelzebub pot here but some insist you are of Beelzebub, by whose power do you
operate?
A. Read Mathew Chaplet 12 verses 24 to 30 24: But when the Pharisees heard it, they said,
This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.
25: And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is
brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: 26: And if
Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand? 27: And if
I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be
your judges. 28: But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come
unto you. 29: Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he
first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house. 30: He that is not with me is against
me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad; and, 1 Corinthians Chapter 2 verses
10-11, 10: But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things,
yea, the deep things of God. 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. 1
Corinthians 2:16: For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we
have the mind of Christ.
All powers belong to the Father, I do not have any power of my own. BUT THE
SECRET OF MY POWER IS IN PRAYERS. The Father grants the requests of those who
have faith in Him and worship Him in SPIRIT and in TRUTH. Faith in God is not a mere
claim it is the practice of the claim. Didn't our Lord Jesus Christ say that if we have faith
as little as mustard seed that we could do greater things? I worship the Father with all
dedication and devotion with every zeal in righteousness, in spirit, and truth, and He has
become faithful to His words by manifesting His great powers through me, yet they say I
am of Beelzebub. It's either they do not believe in Our Lord Jesus Christ whom they claim to
profess or they are saying that God is not capable of possessing such powers. But they are
wrong. The things of the sprit cannot be understood by the flesh. But soon all men's work shall
be made manifest, (He quickly stated).
With a moving sense of humility Leader OBU turned to me and said. “MY SON, LET NO
ONE TELL YOU THAT THE ONE WHO WILL RULE WITH A ROD OF IRON WILL
COME FROM THE SKY." Pre-empting my next question He cited the following Bible Text:
"Revelation Chapter 12 verse 5 Says that he'll be born of a woman. He will also come
as a thief in the night, not to the observation or all men. Only few witnessed the ascension of our
Lord Jesus Christ out of all the inhabitants if the world.
Q. Could the promised Holy Spirit be here now?
A. It is the arrival of the Holy Spirit that exposed the truth. Read John Chapter 14 versa 28:
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.
If you were baptized, you would know that the Holy Spirt is personified . The scripture is clear
in referring to the Holy Spirit as " He," Leader O.O. Obu explained.
Q. Father, how do you define heaven and hell?
A. Heaven and hell are here. They are spiritual states. Some teachings in Christendom about
heaven and hell are contrary to the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ : They tell you that when
you die you go to heaven. Heaven is glory. Jesus the Christ did not, and does not teach that the
dead first go to glory, on the contrary He teaches that death may be overcome. If a man keeps my
words he shall never taste of death.
Heaven is unspeakable joy, happiness, indescribable physical and spiritual peace, a state one
attains through practicing the word of God. Death is the result of disobedience to the word of
God. How can you sin and go to heaven?
Q. What sir, is the significance of the sign of the cross?
A. The sign of the cross is the mark of the wild beast. Anybody who has received the seal of the
living God, which is the Holy Spirit, does not make the sign of the Cross. If you want to know
what I mean by the mark of the beast, Read Revelation Chapter 13 verse 1 to the end. Pay
particular attention to verse 16"Rev 13:1-18
1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven
heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear,
and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great
authority.
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was
healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped
the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power
was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his
tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power
was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the
book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must
be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb,
and he spake as a dragon.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and
them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth
in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had
power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should
make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast
should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be
killed.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a
mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or
the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is
the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
INTRODUCTORY CHORUS:
"LOVE ME THAT YOU MAY HAVE LOVE
LOVE JESUS THAT YOU HAVE LIFE."
GOD IS GOOD:
I have on earlier occasions revealed God to you. I am merely repeating this fact in
confirmation of the spoken words. I had earlier told you that the name "GOD," is not God but
"GOOD." The letter `O' was dropped to make it GOD. I did not learn or read what I am
imparting you from any book. It is rather innate in me and right from the beginning I move along
the same path. I have no other way. You donate several assorted cars, bathe frequently till you
become fair in complexion, yet I cannot regard you as God. So many people are elected
chairmen, presidents, prophets, apostles and they are referred to as important dignitaries in the
fold of Brotherhood. Those things cannot be regarded as attributes to greatness in Brotherhood of
the Cross and Star.
Do not put this kingdom of God into mockery. Just as the people of the world do, by
making carved objects in the image of human and then they regard them as their own gods. They
even give food to those carved objects and sometimes they dress the pieces of wood with clothes
and adorn them as human beings. This is what is now happening, and you are quite aware of this.
But all those things are vanity and acts of foolishness that we should not associate with God. Let
the first lesson be read.
SPIRITUAL CHORUS
BE BORN AGAIN, FOR IF YE ARE NOT BORN BY MY BLOOD
YE ARE NOT WORTHY OF ME.
I want to let you know that whoever is not born again has no share in this New Kingdom.
You cry of money! money! money! Unfortunately money does not make you to be born anew.
There is absolutely nothing in this world that can make you to be born again. There is nothing
that one can give you to make it a new birth to you, and there is nothing you too can give to a
person to contribute to the rebirth of that person. So brethren, what we are disclosing to you here,
and we are about to disclose to you is a very great thing which is greater than the whole world. It
is exactly as when Christ went out with His disciples and they got to a place where there was a
fundraising function being held. Each donor who came out donated according to his ability and
everybody else donated accordingly. There was then a widow who brought in a little amount, not
even up to half a penny. Our Lord Jesus Christ then drew the attention of His disciples and told
them that of all the donations, the widow's mite was the greatest. Up till today, philosophers and
theologians are pondering about that statement of Our Lord Jesus Christ, that the widow's mite
was the greatest of all the donations. Till today, you are not aware of the significance of that
donation. You at all times question, “Why is it that others donated in thousands and in millions
and yet, the widow's mite was considered the greatest? It is merely a proverb and not to be taken
literally." But I want to assure you that today you are going to know the real significance of that
widow's mite.
SPIRITUAL CHORUS:
THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS NOT INHERITED BY WEALTH BUT BY FAITH.
You should ask yourself this question: Why is it that Our Lord Jesus Christ did not
keep lawyers, presidents, kings, wealthy men, millionaires and thousandnaires as his
friends? Instead of that Our Lord Jesus Christ kept company with the lame, the blind, and the
nonentities. Even amongst His disciples, Peter was a fisherman. Do you know that it is not an
easy thing for a fisherman to own a house? John was equally a fisherman. All the disciples were
outcasts in the world. It is interesting to note that all those eminent lawyers, doctors, and judges
were everywhere in Jerusalem and yet Christ did not call any of them.
Up till when Christ was crucified, Caesar did not know Christ. He did not know him in
person, until the day the Lord was crucified, when Pilate had to go and inform him about Our
Lord Jesus Christ. It was then that Caesar asked about the young man, Christ. But by then, Pilate
had already delivered Christ to the people in order to gain Caesar's favor as he presumed that
would please Caesar. Pilate had actually really wanted to free Christ but for the fear of the people
who demanded of him saying that, should he venture to free Christ, then he Pilate would no
longer be Caesar's friend. In order to maintain his friendship with Caesar, he superficially
washed his hands off with water to prove his innocence, whereas he condemned Christ and
delivered Him to the people.
However when Pilate got to Caesar, Caesar asked him of Christ. Caesar was suffering
from an illness which he has thought Christ would heal him at his instance. But little did he
know that Christ had been killed. It is said, whoever wants to save himself shall rather lose his
life. Then for that same reason, Caesar ordered Pilate to produce Christ or else he should
consider himself a condemned man and in fact Pilate was accordingly killed that same day.
Many of you did not know that Pilate was equally killed the same day Our Lord Jesus
Christ was crucified. Why? It is because he wanted to please Caesar. Then, if the activities of
people and the things we feel were to be accepted by God, why should Pilate then be killed?
Why did Caesar seek to see Christ? Why should the whole world cry in one accord, “Give us
Barabas and Crucify Jesus?" IT IS BECAUSE OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST HAD LOVE,
HE WAS HUMBLE, HE HEALED THE SICK, PERFORMED GREAT WORKS, SPOKE
EDIFYING WORDS AND HE POSSESSED ALL THE VIRTUES OF GOD. HE WAS
GOD BUT HE DID NOT SPEAK ENGLISH. HE DID NOT ATTAIN ANY
LEVEL OF LEARNING FROM ANY INSTITUTION, HE HAD NO WIFE, HE HAD NO
CHILD, NO HOUSE, AND HE WAS REGARDED AS AN OUTCAST. HE WAS FOUND
MOVING FROM PLACE TO PLACE. EVEN HIS PARENTS COMPLAINED OF HIS
LIFESTYLE.
SPIRITUAL CHORUS
"LORD" WE HAVE HEARD THAT YOU HAVE ARRIVED
REVEAL YOURSELF IN OUR MIDST.
THE DOER OF "TRUTH," REVEAL YOURSELF IN OUR MIDST
HALLELUJAH, REVEAL YOURSELF IN OUR MIDST.
GOD ALMIGHTY, THE KING OF KINGS AND THE LORD OF LORDS, HAS
ARRIVED:
It is said that the soil must be properly prepared before a good yield. From what is read to
you, have you seen how Christ was prepared? Now have you seen that we have been given a new
law? THE HOLY ONE HAS ARRIVED, GOD HAS ARRIVED. HAVE YOU SEEN HOW
GOD CAME INTO THE WORLD, IN A WAY THAT CONFOUNDS EVERYONE? The
glory which we have, is it through performing miracles, raising the dead or making the lame to
walk? Is it through preaching? Did the prophets of old not preach? BUT IT IS ONLY
BECAUSE HE IS THE HOLY ONE. HE IS IMMACULATE, A PERFECT ONE,
SPOTLESS AND COMPLETELY WITHOUT ANY BLEMISH. HE IS GOOD.
John the Baptist said a voice came to him through He who sent him to baptize people by
immersion and that whoever the Holy Spirit would descend upon, shall Himself baptize people
with the Holy Spirit. John the Baptist testified that he (John the Baptist) was a witness that Our
Lord Jesus Christ was the Son of God. Have you seen the wisdom of God? Was that not God
Himself? Did you know that? None had known this. If it were not so, He would not have been
the Perfect God and salvation would have eluded us. No salvation would have come to man. But
now we have a mixed- up of people everywhere. The salvation we have is not as a result of
work, not of wisdom, not from learning BUT GOD HIMSELF WHO HAS COME DOWN
TO SAVE US OUT OF MERCY, OUT OF LOVE AND OUT OF HIS GRACE. We should
therefore follow Him. Read our fifth bible witness.
WE HAVE ONLY ONE GOD, ONE KING, AND ONE PERFECT MASTER:
We are now heading towards the end of our journey. Is the kingdom of God two? Is
God two? Are the children of God two? God is an indivisible whole. If you were the one
addressed as Good Master would you not puff up by raising your shoulders high? Christ queried
the young man,"Why callest thou me good? None is good, save one, that is God."
HENCEFORTH I AM GOING TO WATCH YOU CLOSELY TO SEE IF YOU
CALL ANYONE GOD. Because nowadays, you are given food to eat and you will eat to
your satisfaction and pronounce the person who gave you food as God. Many of you have as
many as three different gods. You even refer to someone who gives you a car as God. We are
very pitiful. How many Gods do we have in the entire world? WE HAVE ONLY ONE GOD.
THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD IN THE ENTIRE WORLD. Are things now clear to you? Will
you no longer call a man God, or refer to a tree as God? You erroneously refer to someone who
is intelligent or powerful, as God. If someone is intelligent or powerful FROM WHERE DOES
HE ACQUIRE HIS INTELLIGENCE OR POWER? ARE ALL THESE GIFTS AND
VIRTUES NOT FROM GOD ALONE?
THE REAL NAME OF GOD IS GOOD BUT HE USES GOD TO CONFUSE THE
WORLD.(LUKE 18:18-19). Many necromancers, herbalists, native doctors have many gods as
well as different names for them. For example, Aristo-Krishna have their own gods whom they
feed, cloth, and render other services to.
THE TRUE NAME OF GOD WHICH IS GOOD, WHICH SIGNIFIES
PERFECTION AND NO IMPERFECTION SHALL ENTER THE KINGDOM OF
GOD.(LUKE 18:18-19). When you compare a worldly person with God, is your head
correct? By such comparison, you are insulting God. I am telling this so that you do not hope
that your money or academic knowledge shall guarantee you success into the kingdom of God.
Your worldly possessions, the children you have will not guarantee you entry. The only
criterion for entry into God’s kingdom is perfection. The way and manner you relate with
one another, your humility, if you do not cheat others, tell lies, if you do not challenge God
nor equate yourself with God, then you are saved. Other considerations cannot lead you into
the kingdom of God.
If you observed critically you would notice that so many people out of ignorance think
that they are superior to God, wealthier than God, more generous than God, and they finally
conclude by saying, “What is it that God does that they themselves cannot do?" SUCH
IMPOSTORS HAVE NO SHARE IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD. But whoever is born of
the HOLY SPIRIT knows that everything in heaven and on earth belongs to God. THEY
ALSO KNOW THAT GOD IS EVERYTHING AND HE ABIDES IN EVERYTHING.
SUCH A PERSON DOES NOT ARROGATE TO HIMSELF, THE STATUS OF GOD,
NEITHER DOES HE EQUATE HIMSELF WITH GOD. HE DOES NOT BOAST OR
INSULT GOD, BUT HE SUBMITS HIMSELF TOTALLY BEFORE GOD.
AN ILLUSTRATION:
I have given you this story several times and its about a certain man,(master) who bought
and owned a slave as his domestic servant. He decided to set him free by giving him the liberty
to operate on his own. This servant suddenly became rich and he also acquired and possessed a
lot of slaves, both males and females, cattle, landed properties, among many other possession.
With the acquisition of the great wealth, the man became arrogant, pompous, and full of pride.
People who witnessed his sudden transformation from the state of a slave boy to the status of a
multimillionaire started to boast that this man (the slave) was richer than his master. This rumor
started spreading like wild fire in the whole city till the slave's master heard about this. But he
was able to comport himself with dignity, without minding what his slave and the general public
said about him. This servant did not do anything to save the situation when he went about
boasting to those who came to listen to him; he kept saying that he was a slave but now he was
richer than his master. When his master could not bear the insult any longer, one day he
summoned the whole community together and asked his slave to take stock of his wealth, before
the people. The servant did this by counting all his assets and liabilities one after the other. The
crowd which had gathered to witness the occasion gave him a standing ovation. As he continued
counting his possessions he was interrupted intermittently with cheers and applause from the
crowd, until he finally finished his counting.
His master then stood up and without going too far concluded that all the wealth of his
slave, as already counted, plus the slave himself, belonged to him, the master. With that he
summed up his counting. After this, the servant slumped to the ground, while the cheering crowd
became silent, for they were all stunned.
This is the same situation in which we find ourselves. Whoever claims that he is God tell
him to count his wealth and to substantiate why he says he is God. Have you ever heard that any
man is God in this whole world? When you claim that Olumba Olumba Obu is God I look at
you with dismay. This is because your head is not correct. Is that what I teach you? You further
ask why does Olumba bow down and knock His forehead on the ground? The answer is why
should I not bow down? Am I God? We all bow down and worship the same one God. My focus
is on Him because a good child takes after his Father. Have you not seen how Our Lord Jesus
Christ resembles God? Through His behavior people know that He is from God. For if you love
one another as I have loved you, the whole world will know that you are the children of God.
This is the only way you can be called a child of God.
Brethren, at the end of every preaching Our Lord Jesus Christ often concluded by saying
that, he who has ears to hear let him hear. I have reached a point and now I am saying the same
thing. That is, he who has ears to hear, let him hear. And may God bless His Holy Words. Amen.
THANK YOU FATHER.
THE WORLD'S RULER IS HERE
FIRST BIBLE LESSON: REVELATION 13:10
“He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the
sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the
saints.”
SECOND BIBLE LESSON: REVELATION 19:11-13
“And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him
was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a
name written, that no man knew, but he Himself. And he was clothed with a
vesture dipped in blood and his name is called The Word of God.”
GOLDEN TEXT: REVELATION 12:5
“And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of
iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.”
HE IS THE JUDGE.
The wording of the above text are the same as what Christ said to Peter, as
recorded in Matthew 26:52. He ordered Peter to put back his sword for whoever lives by
the sword shall perish by the sword. Those of you who use machetes, swords, guns,
stones and sticks against your brethren, what do you think about yourselves? Do you
still have hope of inheriting the kingdom of God? AT THE APPOINTED TIME WHEN
THE WORLD'S RULER WILL BE REVEALED TO THE ENTIRE WORLD,
EVERYBODY WILL BEHOLD HIM. THOUGH PEOPLE MAY SPEND THEIR MONEY
AND TIME SEARCHING FOR HIM, THEY WILL NOT KNOW HIM EXCEPT
REVEALS HIMSELF TO THEM. However He is with them at all time. He is in your
house, offi ce, farm, marketplace, in fact wherever you find yourself, He is right there
with you. He provides all your needs. He knows all your plans and arrangements, the
whole world would have perished because of all the things that are going on in the
world, not even one is pleasing to God. As such, not even one soul would have been
saved. his is informed by His long patience. God does not want us to perish. That is why
He teaches us about His life pattern. He teaches us love, patience, endurance, truth,
etc. He teaches us not to maltreat the children and not to abuse anybody. There is no
human being or angel who would tolerate us the way He does. DO YOU KNOW THAT
GOD IS ON EARTH WITH MAN? THE SON OF MAN AND THE HOLY SPIRIT IS
HERE ON EARTH. WHY THE MAN CHILD IS CALLED THE SON OF MAN? IT IS
BECAUSE HE COMES IN HUMAN FORM. WHY IS HE CALLED THE SON OF GOD?
IT IS BECAUSE HE HAS THE SPIRIT OF GOD. WHY IS HE CALLED GOD? IT IS
BECAUSE HE IS SPIRIT. HE IS EVERYTHING. HE IS THE FATHER, THE SON AND
THE HOLY SPIRIT.
Have you heard of the son of God of doom? We only have the prophets of
doom and apostles of doom. As the Son of God, He possesses love, mercy, kindness
and especially, patience. If we were to have patience as He has and we do away with
sins, we would have become the true sons and daughters of God. Whatever you sow
that you will reap. This is the time when the true son of God shall be seen, if only you
will exercise patience and forsake fornication, telling of lies, stealing, quarreling,
fighting, among other sinful acts. Then and only then will you be saved. He did not
come for the Africans only, neither did He come for the Americans only, but for the
entire creation of God. He loves everybody and everything equally. Heaven and earth
and the fullness thereof belong to God. The world and its entire inhabitants are His
creation. He is found everywhere, in the Atlantic, in the air, on the mountains, in the
valleys, forest, beneath the earth, and in everything created. He is lavishly seen
everywhere. DURING THE LAST ADVENT, HE CAME AS CHRIST AND REVEALED
HIMSELF TO THE WISE MEN WHO GAVE HIM GIFTS OF GOLD, FRANKINCENSE
AND MYRRH. BUT IN THIS GENERATION, HE HAS LAVISHLY AND
CONVINCINGLY REVEALED HIMSELF TO MANY PEOPLE AT MANY DIFFERENT
PLACES AND PLANES OF MANIFEST. MANY HAVE COME AND WILL CONTINUE
TO COME FROM FAR AND NEAR TO GIVE HIM GIFTS. IT IS THEREFORE NOT
YOUR PLACE TO TELL THE WORLD THAT THE PROMISED ONE IS HERE. HE IS
THE ONE TO REVEAL HIMSELF TO ALL AND SUNDRY. HE HAS NO NEED OF
YOUR GIFT, AFTER ALL HE OWNS EVERYTHING. WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO GIVE
TO HIM? You have to appreciate all the things He has done for you: THIS YOU DO BY
LOVING ONE ANOTHER AND REFRAINING COMPLETELY FROM ALL EVIL ACTS.
The wise men returned to Him what He gave to them. In other words, the three of them
who presented gold, frankincense to Him merely reciprocated the love and the things
already given to them. The fourth wise man who shared out his wealth to the poor did
so in compliance with what was assigned to him: AFTER ALL THE WORK OF BEING
CHARITABLE TO THE POOR IS THE WORK OF GOD. HE HAS EQUITABLY AND
SUFFICIENTLY DISTRIBUTED HIS TALENTS TO ALL AND SUNDRY. SO WHAT
IS EXPECTED OF YOU IS TO SHOW GRATITUDE TO HIM FOR HIS LOVE AND
KINDNESS TO MANKIND. Read the second lesson again.
"And again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the world, he saith, And let all the
angels of God worship him."
"Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no
more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my
God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God; and I will
write upon him my new name."
"Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall
live also."
This sermon serves as a reminder of what God has said about His children and the power He has
now bestowed upon them. It may interest you to note that things have remarkably changed from
their previous states to better ones.
You may recall, when our Lord Jesus Christ was to be arrested and Peter tried to resist, Christ
advised him to put back his sword into its sheath, for whoever takes the sword shall perish by the
sword. He continued: Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father and He shall presently
give me more than 12 legions of angels? (Matt. 26:53).
In the above text, a situation arose where He considered begging the Father for 12 legions of
angels. However, this position has changed today. In view of this change, the first begotten does
not pray the Father to give Him anything. This is because, everything is now at His disposal.
Most importantly, all the angels must worship Him. This explains the difference between now
and the past. It is said: And again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the world, He said,
And let all the angels worship Him (Hebrews 1:6).
Now, the power is so great that many people assume that it does not come from God. So great is
the power that any organization or society you contact in any part of the world, seeking for
power, will refer you to 34, Ambo Street, Calabar, Cross River Star, Nigeria, the Headquarters of
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. If you go to the Hades or inside the water or up the sky,
looking for power, all the inhabitants there will surely refer you to 34 Ambo Street, Calabar.
They will also advise you to get baptized into the fold if you have not done so. The situation as
recorded in the first lesson is very revealing. It could be compared to the honor accorded a Head
of State or President of a country notwithstanding his age, sex or origin. As a President, all the
citizens of the country have to obey and respect him; and he has to exercise all the powers that
go with such an exalted office.
Furthermore, if a truck-pusher should become a President or Prime Minister, his status changes
automatically and he would be called, known and addressed as per his new designation: Mr.
President, for instance, and not as Okon, the truck-pusher. Any person who ventures to call the
President by his old name or occupation would have the full wrath of law upon him. If he had
been your friend or relation, the prevailing situation would bring a new dimension into the
relationship.
The second lesson also contains facts for discussion. God says: Him that overcometh will I make
a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out and I will write upon Him the
name of my God which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and
I will write upon him my new name (Revelation 3:13).
The questions now are: Who knows the new name? Is the new name, Jesus, Christ, Messiah,
Saviour, Lamb of God or what? This is the mystery for the entire world to unravel. He has come
with a new name that is different from the old ones by which He was known, called and
addressed. Note that, if He was to answer any of His old names, the whole world would have
known Him. Do you think the new Jerusalem which comes from heaven is the one in Israel
under dispute? Every person who reads this portion of the Bible should give deep consideration
to it.
The golden text is a statement made by God Himself: Yet a little while, and the world seeth me
no more: but ye see me: because I live; ye shall live also. (John 14:19). Who are the ones
referred to as those that would see Him no more? These are fornicators, liars, murderers, thieves,
idolaters, smokers, snuffers, drunks and all those who live abominable lives - the unbelievers.
Consider this situation: If you had known a person and were familiar with him but suddenly he
disappeared from your sight and consequently puts on a new name and look, could you identify
such a person? The person might even stand before you and converse with you, but because he
had not introduced himself to you, you would not know and identify him. On the other hand,
even if he introduced himself to you, you could still doubt him, because of his new name and
new look. But all those who identify him and believe in him would be rejoicing with him.
They would be enjoying his company and also reap the fruit accruing from such association.
Those who disbelieve him would be missing both His company and his goodness.
Though people may doubt the validity of such claims, the truth must prevail. Even in the law
court, evidence tendered are enough to corroborate or give validity to the case in dispute.
Similarly, there are now a multitude of witnesses testifying about the presence of God on earth.
THOSE WHO CONTINUE TO GAZE INTO THE SKY EXPECTING OUR LORD
JESUS CHRIST TO DESCEND THERE FROM SHOULD PRAY FERVENTLY FOR
THEMSELVES. Another part of the second lesson that is worthy of note is that which states:
Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God and he shall go no more out.
This is a conditional promise. The promise here is that of being made a pillar in the temple of
God. For one to merit such a position, the condition is that, the one has to overcome. In other
words, you cannot be made a pillar in God's temple if you do not overcome. This explains the
reason why many members of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star cannot deviate an inch from
their doctrine. Such persons are those who prefer to die in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star.
The problem with some members of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is that they do not trust in
God. They do not really believe that God does not joke with His word. They do not know that
whenever God utters any word, it must come to fulfillment. Is there any church
denomination, institution of learning, healing home or hospital, where all the members, students
or patients have residential status therein? Or simply asked, can members of any church
denomination, patients in any hospital or customers in business and so on, have access to free
accommodation in such an institution?
In Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, many families are sustained here. The parents and children
live in bethels and are catered for, free. Such children are trained, free, to any level of education.
In Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, there are many well-to-do persons who find bethels even
more comfortable to live in, than their estates, since their baptism. How the whole thing works
and how the situation comes about, no one can explain except the Father.
Nobody would now doubt the possibility of one leaving his house at about 4:30 a.m. only to
return the following day or days, after consecutive prayer services and activities. In the world,
such a story would cause people to look at you as having dubious intent or getting involved in
some nefarious activities in such a place. This singular event is the fulfillment of the words of the
Scriptures that, where the carcass is, there also will the eagles gather. (Matt 24:28).
People are coming from America, India, Britain, Russia and other parts of the world to Calabar,
Nigeria, to see the Father and embrace this kingdom. What is obtainable in Brotherhood of the
Cross and Star is not such that you should ask anybody to come in and obtain. It is given that
only the elects of God, His true children, see Him lavishly. Others, the non-believers, do not
see Him. This explains the reason why two people can live in the same room and one would be
seeing the Father lavishly whereas the other would not. People from far and wide are seeing the
Father wherever they reside. Whereas there are many living very close to Him but cannot see
Him. This is a situation the entire world should think over.
During the days of our Lord Jesus Christ, people gathered and requested Him to tell them who
He was. On one occasion, He told the people that: no man knoweth the son, but the Father;
neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whosoever the Son will reveal him.
(Matthew 11:27).
If you consider all the patriarchs that existed, none was given more than an angel as a guard.
Moses, Elijah (who was even an angel), John the Baptist and the rest of them had only one angel
guarding each of them. Hades, the ocean, death, sickness, Lucifer, rain, sun, thunder and the rest
of the phenomena are angels. If therefore, there exists a being to whom all the creations have to
bow down and worship, why not ask yourself who such a being is? Those who continue to doubt
and long to find His source will never know it until doomsday.
An adage has it that, blindness is evil and ignorance is a disease. The entire world is ignorant and
blind. These are the major problems plaguing the world. If all the messengers that were sent by
God had all been systematically eliminated, do you expect Him to continue in the same manner
of sending messengers? When the King of Assyria threatened King Hezekiah with a letter of
intent to destroy Him, the latter did not plan a counter offensive but quietly took the letter to the
temple and surrendered it to God in prayer. God hearkened and immediately sent an angel that
destroyed all the Assyrian soldiers and the city itself. If a single angel could be so powerful,
consider the being to whom all angels should bow and worship. The world thinks that Satan is so
powerful; but this is the same being (Satan) whom an angel got chained and cast into the
bottomless pit (Revelation 20:1-3).
All the pestilences, famine, death, drought, wind and so on are angels, messengers of God. When
Jonah was sent to Nineveh, he refused to go. Instead, he boarded a boat to Tarsus. God sent an
angel who caused commotion in the boat until Jonah admitted responsibility for the turbulence.
He was immediately thrown into the sea and a whale, an angel of God, swallowed him and
subsequently delivered him at Nineveh. That was the handiwork of God.
If the angels can be so powerful, can you imagine the power of Him who is the first begotten of
God who shall be brought into the world and whom all the angels shall be asked to worship? The
words "the first begotten', therefore, do not indicate a tree, fish or any creature other than a
human being. Note that, God has never told any angel, "this day, I have begotten you, you are
my son". (Heb 1:5). Emphasis is on the word "SON" a noun used to describe the male offspring
from the human race.
If I may ask, whose children were Adam and Eve? They were the children of God. Adam
represented the first incarnation of Christ and he married and begot children. We all are
the offspring of Adam. Did that stop him from being a child of God? Did that make him
second to any other person? Apart from Noah, who else lived as long as Adam? Adam lived for
930 years.
When Adam needed a partner, same was produced from one of his ribs. Before this was done,
God caused him to go into a deep sleep, which was death. You can therefore, realize that death
started with Adam. If you say that God is not a man, how come that man is made in His image?
Why was man not created in the image of a tree or animal? Why also did God not breathe into a
tree or stone to become a partner unto Adam? Or did He not have the power to do so?
THE SECOND ADAM, THE SPIRIT THAT QUICKENED, CAME FROM ABOVE, HE
WAS THE CHRIST. AT THE SECOND ADVENT, HE BORE A NEW NAME, JESUS
CHRIST. EVE ALSO REINCARNATED BUT WITH A NEW NAME, MARY, THE
MOTHER OF JESUS. WOULD YOU SAY THAT BECAUSE OF THE CHANGE IN
THEIR NAMES AND CIRCUMSTANCES, CHRIST AND MARY WERE NOT ADAM
AND EVE INCARNATES RESPECTIVELY? The scripture states: For as by one man's
disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made
righteous. (Romans 5:19).
What is needed now is for man to retrace his steps towards redeeming his tarnished image:
Experience, they say, is the best teacher. After going through the ordeal and learning his lessons
the bitter way, the first Adam came back as Christ denouncing marriage and everything that was
mundane.
1 Corinthians 15:45-47 states:
And so it is written, the first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a
quickening spirit.
Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which
is spiritual.
The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. This explains
the reason why Jesus Christ came to remit for the sins that He committed. His second advent
was, therefore, a corrective one after which He declared on the cross, "it is finished". The
declaration marked the end of the old deeds and the beginning of a new era and a new life.
The downfall of Adam is traceable to Eve. For that reason, he took stock of events and restrained
Himself. IN HIS SECOND ADVENT, INSTEAD OF HAVING EVE AS A PARTNER,
CHRIST ONLY PASSED THROUGH EVE AS MARY. THE SIMPLE
UNDERSTANDING HERE IS THAT, THE SAME WOMAN, EVE, THAT CAUSED THE
DOWNFALL OF ADAM ALSO BROUGHT ABOUT THE BIRTH OF CHRIST, THE
SECOND ADAM.
It was prophesied that a virgin girl shall bring forth the savior of the world. If God had not
taken control of Mary and made her a virgin, the world would not have been saved till
date.
The first Adam was a product from the earth. The second was a spirit. Now, from where will the
third Adam come, and of what stuff will He be made? Do you not think He is capable of coming
from anywhere, having fulfilled every condition as regards dual origination? He could be man
(earthy), or spirit, man or woman, young or old, white or black. He can be anything or
everything. He has no limited nature and existence.
Now, consider this fact: if Adam had not Eve, through whom they begot children, how would the
earth have been replenished? Then, the second Adam (Jesus), having gone through the several
ordeals and learnt His lessons the hard way in his first advent as Adam, decided to live a simple
and quiet life in his second advent. That was so because His second advent was to be a
temporary one, and with a brief straightforward assignment to execute. For that reason, He
needed neither house, wife, children, nor any property. He finally atoned for the sins He
committed and promised to come back into the world.
IN HIS LAST ADVENT, AS THE LAST ADAM, HE HAS COME IN A BIG WAY WITH
HIS GROUP OF ANGELS, HIS FAMILY, HIS DISCIPLES AND EVERYTHING THAT
WOULD ENHANCE THE ACCOMPLISHMENT OF HIS TASK. THIS IS SO BECAUSE
HIS STAY IN THIS ADVENT IS NOT A TEMPORARY ONE. If you are to live in a society
where the inhabitants are evil and abominable, it is either you go there with the intention to bend
them or join them. IN ORDER TO BEND THEM, YOU HAVE TO GO THERE AND
ESTABLISH YOUR FAMILY, YOUR CULTURE, YOUR GOVERNMENT AND YOUR
KINGDOM ENTIRELY. YOU SHOULD ALSO BE PREPARED TO TEACH AND
EXHORT THE PEOPLE. AND THIS IS WHAT OBTAINS IN BROTHERHOOD OF
THE CROSS AND STAR, THE NEW KINGDOM OF GOD WHEREIN DWELLETH
RIGHTEOUSNESS. Except you repent, you cannot inherit it.
Have you ever heard of a cow giving birth to a goat? Or have you ever heard of a pig giving birth
to a sheep? If the genealogy of Jesus the Christ is traced, it will lead to Adam. The reason why
mankind is unable to practice the word of God is because of his evil inheritance from his
forefathers. Your great grandparents were thieves, murderers, fornicators, idolaters who
generally lived abominable lives, and these traits were passed on to their children and to other
generations yet unborn. You are now exhibiting the habits of your parents which you inherited
through the blood.
No amount of preaching can change an evil man and no evil parent can produce righteous
children.
Zacharias and Elizabeth lived for so long without any child because God wanted their flesh to be
mortified. God wanted to draw them closer to Himself and get all calamities divorced from them
so that any offspring they produced could imbibe the virtues of God. If they had an issue early in
their marriage, such a child would have been an ordinary child and would have lived an unholy
life. Zacharias and Elizabeth therefore, were delayed so that the Holy Spirit could pass into them
through Elijah. John the Baptist was able to do all that he did because he was not in the flesh. I
reiterate until doomsday, evil parents will continue to beget evil children.
Man is the blood, the water is Christ, while the spirit is God. It is for this reason that Brotherhood
of the Cross and Star preaches and wages war against sins. If the entire world were to be
righteous, then the human race would be without sin because all the parents would be holy and
would thus beget undefiled children. In other words, at a point in your life when you could be
completely repentant and holy, God could use your righteousness to cleanse your children. This
explains the reason why it is said: "For bodily exercise profiteth little; but godliness is
profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to
come." (1 Timothy 4:8).
"And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels
of God worship him."
That was God's promise to His first son. ONE MAY LIKE TO ASK OF THE PROMISE
GOD MADE FOR THE REST OF HIS SONS. OR WOULD YOU SAY THAT GOD WAS
WRONG OR PARTIAL IN MAKING SUCH A PROMISE TO ONLY ONE OF HIS
SONS? The answer is clear. That was the first son, and so, God was not wrong to make such a
promise unto Him. You are my witness that every first son occupies an exalted and enviable
position in each family. It is natural. Nobody, therefore, has the right to question God for
whatever He does or to contest His statements.
There is this story of what happened to Lot when he departed Sodom and Gomorrah. His wife,
because of her lust for material things, became a pillar of salt. God has always been the sustainer
of mankind and the master-planner of all things. No man knows and can do anything. Lot had
two daughters, both of them were virgins. Something happened between them. After a certain
while, the second daughter gave much wine to her father until he became drunk and lured him to
sleep with her. Lot did, and the daughter became pregnant.
Who gave the girls such a knowledge to fuddle her father with drinks? Would you say that it was
not God that was responsible? When the first daughter became aware of the situation and
inquired how the pregnancy came about, the younger sister told her the process. The elder sister
applied the same method and she was also put in the family way by the father. But for that
wisdom, the family of Lot would have been exterminated. Whose design was that?
God designed the same plan for Judah who had two sons. The eldest got married but had no child
until he died. After his death, his younger brother was asked to take over the woman as wife and
raise children. He did not like the idea of marrying his late elder brother's wife, but because he
was forced he had to succumb. For that reason, when he resolved to sleep with the woman, he
withdrew himself, when it was time for him to 'come' into the woman. By that singular act of
withdrawal, the younger son of Judah was guilty of murder. (More on this is contained in the
printed sermon by the Father titled: "Abortion is Murder"
The young man paid for this act with his life. You may recall that God had made a promise to the
house of Judah that the crown and the glorious staff shall not depart that house. It is now clear
that by his selfish and disobedient act, Judah's younger son was resisting the will of God. Judah
was left alone after the death of his second son. Now, what about God's promise to the house of
Judah? Age, you know, was telling very much on Judah.
One day, as Judah was strolling, he met one beautiful lady who caught his admiration. He
approached her and courted her immediately. When Judah asked the lady what she would receive
in exchange for her love, she demanded no other thing than his staff. Judah was outwitted. Who
gave the lady such wisdom? The deal was thus settled and the staff given out in exchange.
Before long, rumors started spreading that, a certain lady, Judah's daughter-in-law and widow,
was pregnant.
According to the Jewish law, for a woman to be pregnant out of wedlock tantamounts to adultery
and it attracted a death penalty. When the story was told to Judah, He decided to find out the
truth himself. Arriving at the house, Judah met the lady in the exact condition as rumored. When
he asked the lady how the pregnancy came about, she quietly went into her room and brought out
the staff which Judah gave in exchange for love. Judah was shocked to his teeth. The case of
pregnancy out of wedlock died a natural death, and the lady delivered a baby boy into Judah's
household. That was God's designed plan; so that His promise to that house might be fulfilled.
Would you say that there is any evil in such a plan? The answer is: No. This explains the fact
that, no one is responsible for most of the things he/she does. Even Adam and Eve cannot be
blamed for eating the forbidden fruit. They were prompted by God to eat it so that His will might
be fulfilled. God can be merciful to whom He pleases and can harden one's heart if the situation
so demands. Recall the case of Pharaoh. He can cause you to do anything which you would
otherwise not have done. It is, therefore, erroneous for anyone to say that Pharaoh was hard-
hearted.
When Moses accidentally caused the death of an Egyptian, he was satisfied that at least, nobody
saw him. The following day, when an Israelite reminded him of the incident as he tried to stop
the Israelite fighting another, he was surprised and fled the city. That was the exact time God
wanted him to depart Egypt. The reason why God did this can be traced to the words spoken by
Christ as contained in Matthew 19:23: That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of
heaven. Left to Moses alone, he would not have loved to miss the good life in Pharaoh's palace.
But for the will of God to be fulfilled, he had to be moved into an action he did not plan for.
Before God, all things are possible. The lesson here is that, one should not despise, judge,
condemn, or blame God for anything. Rather, one should be thankful to God for whatever
situation he finds himself.
Many members of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star were brought in by other members who
have since left the fold. They had to leave the fold because they could not overcome, and could
therefore, not be made pillars in the temple of God. The ability to do anything comes from God.
Without Him, no one can achieve anything. On the other hand, there are yet many who have
longed to depart from Brotherhood of the Cross and Star but could not.
If this kingdom had come from man, definitely it would not stand. If it were an organization
dependent on money or government, this kingdom would since have fallen. The world has tried
and tempted members of this kingdom in various ways but has always met with a tough
resistance. This is the reason why they conclude that Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is
something else, something associated with Beelzebub.
The things a man treasures and holds in high esteem are nothing before God. But the ones he
despises and accords no recognition are the ones God exalts, in order to overcome and be
established in this kingdom as pillars. Many others have faced similar distasteful situations
engendered by their families, parents, spouses, children and communities, just to stay firm in
Brotherhood. On both sides, God is responsible for the actions. Even the white garment; it is
not easy to put it on in this kingdom let alone to openly declare for Brotherhood of the
Cross and Star, AND ACCEPT OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU AS YOUR FATHER. You
cannot do these except the spirit of God is in you.
There are certain people who love Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, but their obstacle is the
wearing of the white garment. All the same, those who overcome will win the prize of being
made a pillar in the temple of God. Those who come in here and see the truth are unshakable
in spite of whatever problems and agonies they have to pass through.
There is nothing in the world that is worth appreciating. If you lean on God and submit to
Him, He will take care of you. There are many who come to Brotherhood of the Cross and Star
like people attending any other church with care-free attitudes. They have forgotten that there is
no conventional church denomination, healing home, hospital, commercial house or institution of
learning, that could be so kind and benevolent as to allow the less-privileged to dwell therein
whether temporarily or not, and be fed and clothed free. Such gestures can only be found here in
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. This explains the maxim, 'no cross, no crown'. In other
words, you cannot reap where you have not sown. Do not expect to benefit bountifully from
what you have not sacrificed anything for. Anything that you have on a platter of gold is never
durable. God does not behave as man. He is neither flippant nor deceitful. He keeps His promises
unto Himself and fulfills them only in due season. What Brotherhood of the Cross and Star has
done for mankind, no government not even parents, have done for their children. What you do
for the world is an exercise in futility. But any service you render to God returns to you with
abundant rewards. ALL THOSE WHO DEPARTED BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS
AND STAR FOR WHATEVER REASON HAVE EVERY CAUSE TO LAMENT AND, IN
FACT, THEY ARE MOURNING NOW.
"Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out:
and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is
new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from God and I will write upon him my new
name."
The above passage constitutes God's promise. Therefore, whoever leaves Brotherhood of the
Cross and Star does so because he has not been able to overcome, and be made a pillar in
the temple of God. Any person who is selective in his service to God and in the method of
attending prayers or other activities (by coming to worship say, once or twice in a week or
month) is yet to overcome. The condition is that, for anyone to be made a pillar in the temple of
God and be made to stay (or abide) therein forever, he has to conquer. If you prefer to marry, or
crave for other material things, then you have not overcome. Though you may sleep in the
temple of God, except you are able to overcome, you cannot be made a pillar in the temple of
God. As such, you can leave at any time.
There are many in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star who have gone far ahead in the practice of
the gospel in this kingdom. There are yet, others who still drink, smoke, eat flesh, commit
fornication and adultery and other vices. Such people cannot overcome and cannot consequently
be crowned and be made pillars in the temple of God. The children of God who have conquered
cannot indulge in such acts; and have, thus, been made pillars in the temple of God.
In the kingdom of God, there is neither day nor night; no one has time for himself. There is
complete devotion to God. God cannot allow anyone to be tempted beyond his capability, and
in the midst of every temptation He always appears as a Savior. There is nothing God cannot
do for His children. He has deliberately hidden this kingdom from the rich and the so-called
wise men of this world. He always starts a serious affair in a very simple and playful manner, in
such a way that many so-called wise and learned men would not take it seriously. PEOPLE,
THE WORLD OVER, ARE CALLING ON JESUS EVERYWHERE, AND ARE
EXPECTING HIM TO DESCEND FROM THE SKY. THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD
CONFOUNDS MAN. If God were to think and behave the way man does, then man would, by
now, have discovered and overcome Him.
The situation in God's kingdom could not be compared with the secular government. If you work
in any government department, there is time for retirement, transfer and so on. But on the
contrary, many have retired without any benefit. But that is not so in the service of God. IN THE
FIRST PLACE, THERE IS NO TRANSFER, NO LEAVE AND NO RETIREMENT IN
GOD'S KINGDOM AND THEREFORE, THE BENEFITS ACCRUING THEREFROM
ARE GREAT. IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD, IT IS ONLY JOY THAT REIGNS
SUPREME. The 'VIPS' of the world who have seen this kingdom come in here like Nicodemus
at night and get baptized. But this is not a kingdom to which one should belong in secrecy. It is
clear and open to all. Read the golden text again.
"Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more, but ye see me; because I live, ye shall
live also."
Beloved, heaven and earth shall pass away, but not a jot of the word that comes out from God's
mouth would go unfulfilled. (Matt 5:18) WHEN YOU HEAR PEOPLE OF THE WORLD
ANNOUNCING THEIR EXPECTATION OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST FROM THE
SKY; AND HOW THEY REALLY GAZE INTO THE SKY, WATCHING THE TIME HE
WILL DESCEND, YOU LAUGH THEM TO SCORN. BUT WHILE LAUGHING AT
THEM, YOU SHOULD ALSO BE SYMPATHETIC TOWARDS THEM. EVEN WHEN
YOU TELL THEM THAT THE SAME JESUS CHRIST IS DWELLING WITH MEN,
THEY WILL CAST DISDAINFUL LOOKS AT YOU AND REGARD YOU AS BEING
INSANE.
They forget the fact that continents and nations of the world have different governments.
Moreover, should Christ decide to come down directly to any of the cities or villages in Nigeria
with the trumpet sounding for all to hear, how would people in America, India, Britain and even
some neighboring countries behold Him?
NO MATTER HOW FAR AWAY HE MAY BE IN THE SKY, NOT ALL EYES CAN
BEHOLD HIM; OR SHALL HE BE SUSPENDED IN MID-AIR? THOSE WHO HAVE
SURRENDERED THEMSELVES TO HIS WORDS HAVE SEEN HIM, AND HE HAS
REVEALED HIMSELF TO THEM. THIS EXPLAINS THE REASON WHY PEOPLE
TRAVEL FROM FAR AND NEAR TO COME AND PAY HOMAGE TO HIM.
Except God calls you, you cannot follow Him; and unless, you are chosen, you cannot be His
elect. You should, therefore, not bother anybody with the story of Brotherhood of the Cross and
Star, with the view to convincing him. The ways of God are quite different from man's. That is
the reason why, no matter the amount of convincing revelations and stories you may tell
somebody about Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, he will find it difficult to believe. All he
wants to hear is that Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is a blood-sucking organization which is
only out to wreak havoc. In spite of these untrue stories, many people have been baptized only to
realize that the stories are false and baseless.
We have every cause to rejoice and thank God for His wonderful mercy. It is our pleasure that
we are part of this kingdom; for there are many who are not fortunate enough to either come into
this kingdom or see God face to face.
A stroke of the cane, it is said, is enough for the wise. May God Bless His Holy Words. Amen.
REFERENCE: Everlasting Gospel Delivered By The Sole Spiritual Head Of The Universe,
Leader Olumba Olumba Obu on:-GOD'S DIFFERENT MANIFESTATIONS ON EARTH
THE LAST OF ALL DIVINE MANIFESTATIONS
FIRST BIBLE LESSON: JOHN 4:24
God is a spirit and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
THE HOLY SPIRIT ACTUALLY STARTED HIS WORK FROM WHERE OUR
LORD JESUS CHRIST STOPPED. THAT IS WHY IT WAS DESTINED THAT THE
ERA OF THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL WITNESS A COMPLETE TURN AROUND OF
EVENTS. GOD PROMISED THAT HE WILL MAKE A NEW COVENANT WITH MAN
IN THIS ERA AND THAT HE SHALL NO LONGER REMEMBER THE INIQUITIES
OF MAN.
Read Hebrews 8:10-12.
BE VIRTUOUS:
WORSHIPING GOD IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH ENTAILS PRACTICING
LOVE, PATIENCE, HUMILITY, AND ALL SUCH VIRTUES. ABOVE ALL, YOU
MUST PRACTICE THE TRUTH. ANYTHING SHORT OF THESE, YOU ARE
DECEIVING YOURSELF.
Beloved, God is Omnipresent and as such, could be easily seen by as many as would
want to see Him. He is the light that illuminates darkness and indeed, a solution to man's
problems. This accounts for why you have been told:
"Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold he is in the desert, do not go forth,
behold he is in the secret chambers, believe it not. For as the lighting cometh out of the
East, and shineth even unto the West, so shall the coming of the Son of man be." (Matthew
24:26-27).
Is there anyone who does not see love, truth, humility, meekness, temperance,
longsuffering, peace, righteousness, which manifest in the world? THIS IS AN
INDICATION OF GOD'S PRESENCE. These qualities are exclusive qualities of God and
those who will surely possess these virtues are those who walk in the spirit. If you do not
walk in spirit, you are in darkness.
God is seen in all planes of manifest. The basic thing is that, except you walk in spirit you
cannot see Him. It is only those who do not walk in spirit who complain that God hates, tortures,
curses, persecutes and maltreats them in one way or the other. These claims are not true. God is
not wicked. He is merciful and kind. He is love. Except we practice this love, we are not His
children; for a good child must resemble the Father. You have to turn a new leaf. For love to
manifest in you, you have to refrain from sin and become a good being. This informs why Christ
said:
"Neither do men put new wines into old bottles: else the bottles break and the wine
runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are
preserved." (Matthew 9:17).
We have no alternatives than to be like Our Father. No more should we live in the flesh
but in spirit. From the moment that Our Lord Jesus Christ pronounced on the Cross: "IT IS
FINISHED"
the work of the flesh ended. Since then anger, hatred, division, condemnation, rancor, violence,
segregation, arrogance, deceit, fornication, arrogance, idolatry and all such vices were brought to
an end. We are now in a new era where only love and truth are practiced. This era calls for all
and sundry to walk in spirit. Today, oneness is the order of the day. Except you walk in the spirit
and practice love and truth, you are not a child of God. If you walk according to the dictates of
the flesh, you have to die. Read Romans 8:13.
We are not indebted to the flesh but we are indebted to the spirit for not living after the
spirit. This is so because living after the spirit is life eternal but the flesh brings death. It is
therefore wrong for one to profess to be walking in spirit when in effect he has not refrained
from sin. If you do not refrain from all vices, you are a liar to claim to be in spirit. If you are still
in doubt of what the spirit is, read the second bible lesson again, carefully, and you will know
exactly what the spirit is. If you have love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
meekness, humility, temperance, and charity then you are in spirit.
Read the second bible lesson again.
A PROPHESY FULFILLED:
Take a look at the happenings in this kingdom and compare it to what is obtainable in the
world and observe the difference? Whatever you observe is the making of the Holy Spirit. Which
is why you see things moving perfectly in this kingdom. Anywhere there is love, things move
smoothly.
The issue of the Holy Spirit is better experienced than imagined. He is better seen than
discussed. Our Lord Jesus Christ knew this, that was why He told His disciples," I have yet
many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he the spirit of
truth is come, He will guide you into all truth; for he shall not speak of Himself: but
whatsoever he shall hear that shall he speak; and he will show you things to come."(John
16:12-13).
During the advent of Our Lord Jesus Christ, many did not know Him as the Son of God.
They doubted His person and engaged in campaigns of calumny against Him. But today, with
the aid of the Holy Spirit, many now know Christ as the Prince of Peace, the Son of God,
and indeed the arbiter between God and man. His blood has been accepted as something
that reconciled mankind to God after several centuries of sinful life led by man. Differently
put, our Lord Jesus Christ, through the teachings of the Holy Spirit is now known as the
only Savior of mankind.
When Our Lord Jesus Christ was talking about the Holy Spirit, the people of old did not
understand. Hardly could they imagine how the Spirit looked like. But today, you have seen
Him face to face and have enjoyed the much He has accomplished on earth. Apart from
seeing Him, you have equally been taught the truth. The peace the world now enjoys is due
to the fact that the Holy Spirit is in control of the affairs of the entire world.
Therefore, I will advise that you let go all the material things of this world and seek
diligently for the Holy Spirit and you have to refrain completely from the love of the world and
its fullness.
NO DOUBLE MINDED PERSON WILL BE ADMITTED INTO THIS
KINGDOM. One has to forsake the world and decide for the Holy Spirit else one cannot be
admitted into this kingdom. SURRENDER YOURSELF COMPLETELY TO THE HOLY
SPIRIT SO THAT HE MAY COME IN AND ALSO USE YOU AS HE PLEASES. THIS
IS WHERE YOUR SUCCESS IN LIFE DEPENDS.
It is said that a stroke of the cane is enough for the wise. Let those who have ears hear
what the Holy Spirit has to impart to the entire world. May God bless His Holy Words- Amen.
THANK YOU HOLY FATHER.
