We thank the father for the fulfillment of the promise by our lord Jesus Christ.

“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.”

(John 14:26)

“In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said,

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

That thou hid these things from the wise and prudent,

And hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father;

For so it seemed good in thy sight.”

(Luke 10:21)

To the end that my glory may sing

Your praise and not be silent. O Lord my God,

I will give thanks to you forever!

(Psalm 30:12)

We thank the Father for the way

He has used his daughter towards the contribution

WHAT IS BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR

FIRST LESSON: JOHN 20:7

And the handkerchief, which had been about his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded in a place by

itself.

SECOND LESSON: EPHESIANS 4:4-6

One body and one spirit, even as you were cal ed in one hope of your cal ing; one Lord, one faith, one

baptism; one God and Father of al , who is above al , and throughout al , in us al .

GOLDEN TEXT: 1 PETER 2:17

Honor al men; love the brotherhood; fear God; honor the king.

Dear brethren, we want to reveal an important thing to you. The three lessons wil give you an idea of

what we are going to reveal. So please, be at entive. You may say that you know what Brotherhood means, but

we know from our hearts, that no one knows the meaning. People have interpreted different ways. It is as a

result of these misconceptions that we have decided to take this opportunity to preach this gospel. Therefore,

today shal go down in history as a great day: a day of revelation; a day Brotherhood wil be revealed to the

world. Professors of history from different universities have from time to time been coming to tel us the

Origin of Brotherhood. We have in each case laughed at the limitation of their wisdom and have asked them

to go and love one another. Anyone on the surface of the globe who tel s you that he has known the

foundation of Brotherhood does not tel the truth.

In this Gospel, we are not including the words, "Cross and star," but Brotherhood only. Search

yourselves, you who say, that you are not Brotherhood, whether you are not Brotherhood. What is the

meaning of Brotherhood? It means God, Christ and the Angels. It means the people of this world, the fishes in

the water, the trees in the forests, the grass that grows in the fields, and the ground we walk on. Brotherhood

means the sky, the Wind, the Moon, the Sun, the Stars. It means the worms, the ants, and the birds.

Brotherhood means every four-footed animal and every creeping thing. In short, Brotherhood means

everything created by God. Brotherhood means oneness. God and everything created by him put together are

Brotherhood.

Who owns Brotherhood? It is God who owns, rules and leads it. But Christ takes charge. What are the

duties of Angels? They are servants in Brotherhood. What are the duties of people? They too, are workers in

Brotherhood. The Stars, Sun, Moon, Fishes, Animals, Birds, etc., are al workers in Brotherhood.

Page | 1

BROTHERHOOD MEANS THE WORD OF GOD

Brotherhood means oneness. It is the word it is the truth. What is the word? It is God, Christ, human

beings; it is everything in the world. Brotherhood is the word of God. Why is it that people of this world do

not know what Brotherhood means? It is because it is not given to them to understand. Brotherhood is not a

Society it is not a Cult. It is the Spirit of Love. I am Brotherhood you are Brotherhood. You do not need to say, "I want to be Brotherhood." You are Brotherhood whether you like it or not. Everybody is Brotherhood. To those

who want to know its origin, we say Brotherhood has no origin. It has no beginning it has no end. Except a

person wants to know the origin of God. Brotherhood was not founded by Christ, angels or man. It was

founded by God himself. God the founder is Love. It is truth; it is good manners, mercy, and patience. It is

humility, meekness, and unity. It is oneness; it is one thought, one mind, one spirit, one faith, and one hope.

There is no division in Brotherhood. From the smal est child in the cradle to the oldest man: from the smal est

vil age to the biggest city: al countries in the world put together are Brotherhood.

WHAT IS CROSS

Anybody who wants to fol ow me, but does not want to take up the Cross after me, cannot be my

fol ower (CHRIST). Brethren, our Gospel is about the CROSS. After that celebrated Gospel on what is

Brotherhood during the Pentecostal Convention, many had thought the Gospels on the Cross and Star would

fol ow. But since my Father did not give the signal throughout the convention, I could not do anything more

than to al ow his wil to prevail. This afternoon brethren, it has pleased him and he has given the signal that I

should do so. Therefore, I shal be failing in my duty as his mouthpiece, if I should fail to give you the Gospel

on the 'Cross' today.

Some think to give alms means carrying the Cross: others think that to heal the sick by praying, means

carrying the Cross. Others think to pray three times a day means carrying the Cross; yet another class of

people thinks that to pay tithe, Freewil Offering and Charity means carrying the Cross. The Cross-has been

made into different forms. Some hang it around their necks; some hang it on their wal s. Christ says we should

carry the Cross. Do al those things mean you are carrying the Cross? We al know that Christ fel down with

the Cross-as he was carrying it to Calvary. Does carrying the Cross mean that a piece of wood has to

be carried? Without the Cross, the world could not have been saved. The Cross-is light and it can also be

heavy. For the world to be in perfect peace, each of us must carry the Cross.

By what means does one convert a smoker, a snuffer, a fornicator, a thief, a murderer, a back-stabber,

or a liar? Is it by carrying the Cross? If we al should decide today to take up the Cross, the sins of the world

would vanish immediately. What is the Cross? Is it vision and prophecy? Or building houses for people:

giving food to people, buying clothes for them? If Jesus had only healed and prophesied without carrying the

Cross, his work could come to nothing.

Page | 2

IT MEANS BEARING ONE ANOTHER'S BURDEN

If you buy a vehicle for brethren to go on ministry works so that their job is less difficult, you are not

carrying the Cross. The Cross-is not as immense as you might have imagined. It is very smal , it is light, but it

is also very heavy. What is the Cross? Cross means bearing another's burdens without complaining: tolerating

al sinners, murderers, thieves, and back-stabbers, etc. If one accuses you falsely, yet you stand firm with

Christ: if you are spat on, jeered at, disgraced without any cause: if you are insulted without just cause, yet you

tolerate such a person wholeheartedly, you are carrying the Cross. If you are informed that someone has

planned to kil you and you wil not run away, then you are carrying the Cross. To carry the Cross does not

cost anything. To be able to carry the Cross, you must resign yourself completely to God. You must be loving,

humble, you must have patience, you must be forgiving, you must see another person as being bet er than

yourself, you must not be envious. If Jesus did not possess these qualities, he could not have carried the Cross.

If you remain with a cunning man without hurting his feelings for being crafty, if you can stay with a

notorious liar, happily, without stirring up his anger when he tel s you a lie, when one persecutes you falsely

and seeks to destroy your life, yet you tolerate him, you are carrying the real Cross.

WHAT IS STAR? THE GREAT LIGHT

You have read in the scriptures about a secret name. That secret name is the Star. The Star is Christ.

The Star is the glory of God and it is the glory of Christ. The Star is the revelation of God. It is the hidden name

that no one knows. The Star indicates the reign and the glory of Christ. The Star here does not refer to the

constel ation above. The Star means the brightness of God and the power of his reign. The Star is the peace of

the Almighty God that governs the universe. There is no other Monarch other than Christ, the Star. From his

birth, the great light has been shinning over Christ's head. It is the only light that shines the whole world over.

Therefore, it is not enough for someone to be a Brotherhood only, or to carry the Cross alone, but to be worthy

children of the Kingdom. To be worthy children of the Kingdom of God we must be of the Brotherhood of the

Cross and Star. The Star indicates those who wil rule and are ruling with him. The Star is the ruler of the

Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. He is Christ, and Christ did not come alone. The Father is here, the Son is

here and the Holy Spirit is here. He is in the Father, Christ is the City of which we are told. No light is needed,

because he shines there. The Father and the Son shine to eternity.

The name of the morning Star is known to Christ alone and is not known to human beings. We

worship the Star, which is Christ. The Cross-we must carry.

The Star is the glory that reigns over the world. In his first coming, Christ passed through pain and

tribulation. The primary aim of his second coming is to rule in glory. It is the glory indicative of his reign. He

is coming to take up his kingship and rule. His kingdom is here on Earth. The Star means Christ, his glory and

that of his father. He has arrived with the father to live with men on earth. He comes in glory to rule the

Page | 3

whole world. He has not come to serve, suffer and die, as he did in his first coming. Each time the almighty father sends his Son out; he gives him a new name. His disciples were also given different names. When he

departed from the world, his disciples were cal ed Christians. When he worked among men, he was

cal ed Jesus. He asked his disciples, "Who do men say that I am?" He was told; he was the Christ, the Son of God. He warned them not to cal him that name and requested them to keep it a secret to themselves. God

knows best why his Son should be given a new name each time he is sent to earth. When you hear the name

Christ, you cannot say who the Anointed One is.

When he is cal ed Star, you cannot distinguish one from the other. The Star radiates light. His glory

and his reign go into eternity. Christ is the light, he is Jehovah God. Imagine how sweet the name sounds in a

believer's ear. It is the light that blinded Saul on his way to Damascus. Christ's name is only known to the

father and the Son.

Thank You Father

THE PRIMARY COMMANDMENT

FIRST BIBLE LESSON: JOHN 1:17

For the law was given by Moses but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

SECOND BIBLE LESSON: MATTHEW 22:37

Jesus said unto him, thou shalt love the Lord thy God with al thy heart, and with al thy soul, and with al thy

mind.

GOLDEN TEXT: MATTHEW 5:8

Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shal see God.

TOTAL SURRENDERING

Beloved, from now until eternity, we wil not talk about any other person but our Lord Jesus Christ.

This is so because he alone loves God and in him lies the hope for the world's salvation. He is the only one who

has taught us the truth, and our lives depend on him. The first lesson reads that the law was given by Moses,

but grace and truth came from Jesus Christ. The problem of the entire world stems from the fact that you do

not hear the word of God, and you neither accept it nor practice. If the people of the world had loved God

with al their hearts and minds, and above al , believed, and had seen him as the only hope for man's salvation,

we would not have lamented, experienced lack, or had any problems at al . If we had sanctified our heart,

refrained from sins and practice his divine teachings we would abide in peace.

A lot of people may not have realized that the at endant reward derivable from practicing the word of

God is far more valuable than one person owning the whole world. After al , his word is more then the whole

world. You have been enjoined thus: "This is my commandment, that ye love one another as I have loved you."

(John 15:12) Brotherhood of the Cross and star is actual y the real kingdom of God you have been hearing

about. We shal continue to preach love to you at al times. When you have this love richly in endowed in you

then you would not commit sins, and you would be perfect and pure as he is. And above al , you would be the

saved. If you listen to, assimilate, except and put to practice al that you have been taught about the kingdom

of God, I am convinced that the world wil be problem free. And in addition, peace wil return to the world. It

is through a perfect heart that you can practice righteousness. Mercy comes from the mind patience love

humility benevolence honesty obedience and al virtues are the function of the mind. Even truth is a fruit of

the heart. And so, if one state of mind is negative, nothing good can ever come from such a man.

Page | 5

This accounts for why our Lord Jesus Christ said to the Pharisees: "Ye generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things for out of the ful ness of the heart, the mouth speaketh." (Mat hew 12:34) A good

man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things and an evil man out of evil treasure

bringeth forth evil things." (Matthew 12:34-35), and so you would realize that loving God with al our hearts,

minds and lives is nothing to toy around with if we must be joint heirs in the kingdom of God.

If we are rich in righteousness we would behold God in our lives and we would not have time to

commit al sorts of sinful acts. Ipso facto, we would spend al our time and lives in doing the work of God. For

Christ said: "He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my word, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have

spoken, the same shal judge him in the last day." (John 12:48) Let us abide in the love of God. And if we al ow this love to dwel in us it wil be our Amour. In so doing we would not commit sin. I am revealing to you in

clear terms that the problem of the whole world emanates from the fact that, the world has rejected the one

that has come to lead mankind (among other creation of God) to the perfect knowledge of truth. Wife,

children, husband, money, houses, cars, jewelry, position, academic qualifications, clothing etc. as you often

say are not the problems of the world.

The problems of the world are traceable to the fact that you have bluntly refused to heed God's

instruction. He has brought grace, salvation, life, health, mercy, truth, love, goodness and al virtues of God to

mankind. But unfortunately, we do not want these things, instead we relish in wal owing in vices al lifelong.

A local adage has it that the first person who goes to the stream at dawn fetches the cleanest water. Our Lord

Jesus Christ is God. He knows God and loves him, hence, he advises us to love God with al our hearts, minds

and souls. And right now, as many as those who practice these words are saved It was this reason that on Lord

Jesus Christ said: "I am the vine, ye are the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth

forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing." (John 15:5). If indeed we reject his teaching, where do

we go from here? First look at what is happening in the world today. What do you think is the cause? Recal

that our Lord Jesus Christ asked his disciples, why they cal ed him Lord when they did not keep his words. Let

us start now to practice his words, bearing in mind that, if we reject him we have rejected our lives. Do not be

boastful of anything either in the west, east, and north or south, rather rejoice that you have practice his word.

Life cannot be gotten from the north, south, east or west. In God do we have life and without him we are

perished. Our Lord Jesus Christ brings grace, mercy, truth etc. to us. Al the earthly things cannot save you.

The only shortcut to your salvation is to accept him, practice his word, which is love, and teach others so to

do. Do not preoccupy your mind with any frivolous thing other then to practice the word of God. You have to

love him with al your mind, heart, life and indeed soul.

For bringing Grace and truth to us, we have to appreciate his love for mankind by giving him are

Page | 6

selfless service. How can you do things? There is no way you can go without loving God with al your heart, mind and soul unless your heart is with pure. Good enough the Bible discloses to us that: "Blessed are the pure

in heart for they shal see God." (Matthew 5:8).

People die because they lack this true perception. After al , no one who has seen God ever dies. He can

never die. God brought you into this kingdom, but the fact is that you stil wal ow in sins and you do not

practice his word, and that is why you cannot see him. Except you love God with al your mind, heart, soul

and indeed al your life, you cannot have life. You have no share in the kingdom of God. After al , what does it

cost you to love God selflessly? You only stand to be rewarded bountiful y and in addition, al your problems

wil cease. Al you wil see is God and his blessings wil be showered on you. And you wil not hear nor take

advice from anybody apart from him. This is so because you have seen him face-to-face. And you wil have

peace, life, love and al good things in abundance. If you are rich in love, you would only think and practice

love and nothing more. One is enslaved to what one loves best. If you love God alone, you would not have

anything to do with sins. We would take him as everything to us. He is grace and truth. Anyone who loves

God with al his heart, mind and soul has no problem whatsoever. Such a person too does not bother about

how, where and when to see God for he has God lavishly in him. Such a person does not lack anything

because he is the embodiment of al needs. Read our first lesson.

FIRST BIBLE LESSON: JOHN 1:17

For the law was given by Moses but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

THE AGE OF GRACE

Beloved, do you not see the fact that our Lord Jesus Christ brought for us love, life, power, truth among

other virtues? This is so because Moses had condemned the world, but Christ came and salvaged mankind by

sacrificing his dear life. Was it not for this reason that Peter asked Christ the number of times that he could be

offended and stil forgive the person? In his answer, Christ told him that, "Until seventy times seven."

(Mat hew 18:21-22) Since our Lord Jesus Christ condemned both counting of sins on people and hatred but

advised people to embrace the love of God, it means he was with God. (John 8:4-11) / Hebrew 10:16-18) It

was because of this that he conquered every adversity with ease. You may have heard that right from the

inception of the world, only our Lord Jesus Christ has seen God. He is the only one who has remained in God's

bosom and also revealed God to mankind. The story that Moses, (Galatians 3:19) Abraham, Jacob and the rest

of such prospects saw God is a fal acious statement. This is because such a story has no element of truth. But it

is true that Christ saw God because, he loved God with al his mind, heart and soul.

Page | 7

The instruction that we al should love God with al our heart, mind and soul is from God. Therefore, it is imperative that we practice same, should we desire to be blessed. You are asked to practice this and see if it

would not work. Do you not know that, it was as a result of Christ's interest and love for the father that, he

always cal ed on him? Also remember that when Philip asked him to show them the father, he said (as

quoted): "Jesus saith unto him, have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip?

They that hath seen me hath seen the father, and how sayest thou then, show us the father? Believest thou not

that I am in the father, and the father in me? The words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the

father that dwel eth in me, he doeth the works" (John 14:9-10).

It does not cost anything to love God with al our heart, soul and mind. Our Lord Jesus Christ knew the

essence of loving God wholeheartedly, hence, he strongly enjoined us to practice same. In fact, it was as a

result of Christ's total love for God that he did not encounter any problem. He does not only live forever, but

also successful y hands over al that the father had given to him to us. But it is real y pathetic that we have left

such goodness and gone to embrace evil. The parable il ustrated by Christ in Mat hew 7:6 is solely about us.

This is because we have rejected is teachings, which would have solved our problems, to embrace wrong

ideas, and values and the rejection of the teachings of Christ constitutes our problems. This is a demonstration

of the fact that the Perl has been thrown before the swine. You have been sending diverse requests to God but

how many of you have loved him wholeheartedly? God is not in money, houses, cars etc., rather he is in your

heart. And you would be made whole if you should love him wholeheartedly.

Have you not heard what Christ said to Philip? He said, "Believe me that I am in the father, and the

father in me: or else believe me for the very works sake." (John 14:11) once you accept God wholeheartedly

and believe in him, he wil dwel in you and you would feel his existence in you. You would also have his

bountiful joy. Having been told of the importance of loving God wholeheartedly, it is imperative that you turn

a new leaf and imbibe the culture of love. You should from this moment start to cultivate the love of God in

you. It is mandatory for al to love god wholeheartedly, for by so doing, nothing would hurt us. When the

Pharisees demanded of Christ to show them how the kingdom of God is, he replied them thus: "Neither shal

they say, Lo here! Or Lo there! For, behold, the kingdom of God is within you." (Luke 17:21) Most of you

request God to bless you with money to enable you serve him diligently. You want to get money to help you

buy motorcars and build houses for him. But this is just the secondary aspect of it al ; but the primary aspect,

which you ought to do, is to love him (God) with al your heart, mind and soul. God needs nothing apart from

a holy and spotless heart. If you have such purity of heart, for sure, you wil see him.

One of our spiritual courses says, "If your heart is pure, I wil make it my abode." There for, if your

heart is pure, certainly, he wil come in and live in you. It is only there and then that you wil be able to see

Page | 8

him instead of ghost, witches, juju, mermaid etc. In fact, should God dwel in you, you would be completely free from trouble. So, there is the urgent need to have a pure heart that is fit for God to live. The Bible has it

that: "Unto the pure al things are pure: but even their mind and consciousness is defiled." (Titus 1:15) You al have been commissioned to go into the world and teach this particular injunction to the people of the world.

And if you and the people of the world practice this injunction, the joy of God would be yours. The injunction

does not come from anyone here on earth or beneath the earth. It is from the Almighty father. It is only when

we practice these teachings, that we wil know the source of the teachings. This gospel constitutes the key to

knowing God and being with him. Therefore, stop seeking for God in different parts of the world, instead, stay

put where you are and love him wholeheartedly and be pure, for you wil see him at wil . By so doing, you are

saved. Read our second lesson again.

SECOND BIBLE LESSON: MATTHEW 22:37

Jesus said onto him, thou shalt love the Lord thy God with al thy heart, and with al thy soul, and with al thy

mind.

THE FIRST INJUNCTION:

Having read the above excerpt, what has Jesus Christ enjoined you to do? This is what you have to

inform everybody about. Hardly would you see anybody asking about what God expects of him and what

Christ enjoins al to practice. You would hold yourself responsible and your blood wil be on you, should you

fail to practice this injunction. The injunction given in this sermon by Christ constitutes the first and foremost

commandment. It is the injunction that constitutes our joy, truth and love. Should we practice this gospel, we

would see the reward instantly. Whoever fails to see such a reward should know that, he has not practice this

injunction. Should anyone fail to behold God, it means then he has not loved him with al his heart, soul and

mind.

LOVING GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART:

If peace eludes you it means you do not love him with al your heart, mind and soul. If you find

yourself in an adverse situation then know that you do not love him with al your heart, mind and soul. When

Christ told his disciples that he was going to Bethany, they asked why he should go back to where they sought

to stone him, so he answered them and said: "Are there not 12 hours in the day? If any man walketh by day he

stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world." (John 11:9). If you should love God with al your

heart, mind and soul, you would never encounter any kind of problem. You would never see, nor come across

anything evil.

Page | 9

Al you wil see wil be the father and you would only talk about the father at al times. Christ was always cal ing on the father, referring to him at al times. You can neither see the father nor talk about him

for now because you do not love him with al your mind heart and soul. Can you now see the reason why

when Christ at ended the feast with his parents at Jerusalem and after the feast, the parents did not see him

for two days, when the parents came back and saw him, he asked them, what was their business with him? He

further asked them whether he should not abide in his father's house. If you love God with al your heart,

mind and soul, you would never encounter any problem, nor see anything evil. It is only the father that would

completely occupy your thought. With this type of love you wil never be annoyed. It is only the father who

wil s everything in your life. This is the reason why Christ warned: "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world if any man love the world the love of the father is not in him." (John 2:15)

The main theme of this sermon and others to come shal be centered on how to love your God with al

your heart, mind and soul. It was because of the lack of this love that Christ reminded people thus: (Matthew

15:18) "These people drawerth nigh unto me with their mouths, and honoreth me with their lips; but their

heart is far from me." Search yourselves because, most of you only profess to love God with your lips but your

hearts are far from him. Since he does not wish that we should perish, this is the reason why he has seen it

necessary to deliver this message to us so that we would go back to that first love, I feel that God loves us so

much that he would not want us to perish. This is the reason why he has given us this gospel at this 11th hour

so that we would not forget these facts. It is writ en: "Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou has left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fal en and repent and do the first works or

else I wil come unto thee quickly, and wil remove thy candlestick out of his place except thou repent."

(Revelations 2:4-5).

Today has real y proved the fact that God's love for us is so great and so on unfathomable. It is said

that though you bestow al your wealth to feed the poor and give your body to be burned, if you fail to love

your God with al your heart, mind and soul, it avails you nothing. (1 Corinthians 13:3). Whether you have

money or not, you are beautiful or not, educated or not, these things are not important. Al God needs from

you is to love him with al your heart, mind and soul and you wil behold him. He wil dwel in you and take

control of your life. You wil not even need food, money or any carnal thing apart from the father. Remember

that Moses had said that when the time comes, God shal raise a prophet amongst you, whom you al should

listen to. And that whoever shal not listen to his voice shal be cut off from the face of the earth. (Acts 3:22-

23). If somebody should ask you the reason why we are faced with problems, the simple answer is that we

have refused to listen to the voice of God.

Page | 10

THE GRACE OF GOD

If the people of the world should seek for the solution to al the problems plaguing them, you should

advise them to start to love God with their heart, mind and soul. This is therefore, the grace and the truth. The

reason why you keep talking about man, juju, ghost, mermaid, witch and apparition is because you do not

love God with al your heart, mind and soul. Whoever loves God talks only about God, and sees God at al

times. Such a person can never indulge in sinfulness because his testimonies are always centered on God. If

somebody should come and invite you to Jerusalem or to the desert to see God, do not go for God can never be

found in those places. He dwel s in you. If you love God with al your mind, heart and soul, you wil see him.

Also worldly things wil never torment you. You would never experience famine or darkness in your life.

Christ had said that, blessed is he whose heart is pure for he shal see God. (Matthew 5:8). Little did we know

that the statement consists of salvation and grace of God. It is also the life and glory of God. The statement is

nothing but the truth and is trustworthy.

The moment you love your God with al of your, heart, mind and soul, you have been completely

separated from the world. You would have nothing to do with any other thing apart from the father. You wil

always testify of the father alone. I think the father so much, because he does not wish that the world should

perish. For this reason, he has given this package and has reminded us of the things we had forgot en about.

The father in his infinite mercy shal continue to remind you of this from time to time, to love your God with

al your heart, mind and soul. Put your trust in him. You should practice this love, and devote your entire

heart to loving your God at al times. You should accept him ful y. Let the golden text the read.

GOLDEN TEXT: MATTHEW 5:8

Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shal see God.

SURRENDER YOUR HEART

Do not ask questions, argue or doubt him. Put these words into practice and you wil surely see a

change in your life. You would no longer talk about any other worldly things, for you would talk about the

father alone. It is said that he who is heavenly speaks of the heavenly things only. When you get to that state it

means you are in heaven. It is said that we err and everything but whomsoever bridals his tongue is perfect.

(James 1:26) Who is that person who does not err with what he speaks? It is he who loves God with al his

mind, heart and soul. If you love God with al your mind, heart and soul, you would never quarrel, fight or see

evil. You would neither see the day nor night; you would only see the father in al things and the only one

doing al things. Al the money in this world would be nothing before you. You would never see any woman,

Page | 11

man, dresses and other worldly things.

Al that you would see would be the father. This is also the reason why it is said: "Beloved, now are we

the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shal be: but we know that when he shal appear, we shal

be like him; for we shal see him as he is. (1 John 3:2). If you want to know more, then start practicing this

gospel and teach others in the world to practice same. By so doing, you would discover that the kingdom of

God is here with you. Since it is not too late to mend your ways, you should start to love your God with al

your heart, mind and soul. The moment you practice these words you are free.

AN ILLUSTRATION

Suppose a large house is built to house a group of women, and it is fenced around to prevent the

woman from being corrupt. And suppose also that another building is set up in say, a distance of 300 miles

away, for men, also with a fence, would that prevent the woman from moving to and from where the men are

confined? Have you not gone into the ocean to search for fish, no mat er the depth of the sea?

It is said that where your treasure is there also is your heart. When you say that money, woman and

other material things are the cause of al the problems in the world, I refuse to accept it. The cause of al the

problems in the world is that, man does not love God with al his heart, mind and soul; and there is no love of

God in your heart. Whosoever loves God with al his heart, mind and soul can never be burnt by fire. He can

never see death or Apparition. He would never see anything evil no mat er where he finds himself. And to

such a person, money would be nothing, but he would only see God and the things of God. You are al aware

of the fact that I have no regards for the world. I do not even see anything else apart from the father. Now you

are happy, and this Happiness has been extended to the whole world. Right from now, I want you to put these

words into practice. May the father bless his holy words. Amen!

Thank You Father

LOVE IS THE IDENTITY CARD OF THIS KINGDOM

FIRST BIBLE LESSON: JOHN 13:35

By this shal al know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

SECOND BIBLE LESSON: REVELATION 2:4-5

Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from

whence thou art fal en, and repent, and do the first works; or else I wil come unto thee quickly, and wil

remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

GOLDEN TEXT: REVELATION 3:21

To him that overcometh wil I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down

with my father in his throne.

Brethren that is the theme of our revelation this night. If we have love, we shal stay together with our

Lord Jesus Christ in the kingdom of God. If we have love the whole world wil know that we are the disciples,

of Christ. Founding a church does not cause any person to be known as the disciple of Christ. To build a

school and be highly educated cannot make you a disciple of our Lord Jesus Christ either. To go to church and

be appointed to a high position in the church cannot make you a disciple of our Lord Jesus Christ. The only

passport and credential and qualifications required is "Love". As one of your spiritual choruses asks, "Whether you have an identity card?" The identity card of this kingdom is love. Whosoever has no love has not got and

identity card; and can, not enter.

THE PRINCIPLE OF THE KINGDOM IS LOVE

If you fail to enter this kingdom of God, it implies that you have departed from the first love that you

had. And so brethren, the guiding principle is that we al must have love. See that none of you is exasperated,

or quarrel, or fight, or begrudge any person, or take court actions against any one. But seek after love, which

is the only injunction from heaven. Al those who tel lies, have no love. Al those who hate their brethren have

no love. Al of those who begrudge others have no love. Al those who quarrel, have no love. Al of those

who fornicate have no love. Al those who are not merciful on to others, have no love. And here we are

reminded that if we have love for one another, then wil people know we are the disciples of our Lord Jesus

Christ.

Page | 13

WE HAVE PASSED FROM DEATH INTO LIFE

People are very fond of shouting upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. No matter how loud your

shouts are, if you have no love, your shouts mean nothing. Some claim to know our Lord Jesus Christ. Why is

it that they have no love? Whosoever loves his brethren has love. If you have love you wil sit on the right

hand of God in his throne, even as the Son of God is sit ing. Wherever you find yourself if you have love,

you are admitted into the throne of God. We have been taken out from the old world, that world of suffering,

and woe, and sorrow into the new kingdom of God. We have been taken out of the world of sin into the world

of righteousness. Now there is no other law in this kingdom apart from love alone. Therefore, in the throne of

God only love prevails.

LOVE PREVAILS IN THE THRONE OF GOD

You are aware of the spiritual chorus we always sing, "The covenant has gone, and the covenant of

Moses, love is the new commandment." Do not be deceived that you are chorister, a visioner, a preacher, one

who offers prayers, an Elder, and what have you. This kingdom is nothing else but love. What wil make the

people identify you, as the child of God is this love. It is because of love that people wil hate you. It is only

through love that you have dominion over death, sickness, poverty and al manners of sin. It is only through

love that you sit in the throne of God and the Lamb. The secret in this kingdom is love. The foundation stone of

this kingdom is love. The Christ said, "Not those who cal me Lord, Lord wil enter into the kingdom of heaven

but those who do the wil of my father. (Mat hew 7:21) what is the wil of the father? The wil of the father is

to love. The kingdom of God is love since our Lord Jesus Christ is love it is incumbent upon al the inhabitants

of the world to love one another. It is love that makes you real brotherhood.

YOU SHOULD ALL CHANGE OVER

Al those who have no love are subjects of suffering and afflictions. This explains why we should

repent and go back to the first love we had. Money wil not make you sit with our Lord Jesus Christ in his

throne. If you have money, or children or wealth it means you have not overcome but if you have love, you

have overcome. This "changeover" should symbolize love. Al those who quarrel and fight, begrudge others,

think evil, become exasperated, and bear malice, should change over and wear the armor of love. It is a period

of changing over from hatred, from malice, from anger, from fastidiousness, from falsehood, from theft, from

fornication and from al acts of sin. If you have imputed sins on people, change over and begin to lead a

righteous life so that you can sit on the throne of God.

Page | 14

If you had never appreciated what another person was doing, please change over and appreciate

others. If you are one who always wants people to serve you, changeover and serve others. If you were proud

and arrogant changeover, and be humble. If we profess to be Brotherhood and in this period of change we do

not love al man, we are deceiving ourselves. Al those who confess they have neither love nor goodness,

should remember the first love and changeover. So brethren whether you have money, have love, because

only love can take you into the kingdom of God. No other thing can enter there except love. The new kingdom

is love; the throne of God is also love. I do not want to overload you. The first lesson wil now be read.

FIRST BIBLE LESSON: JOHN 13:35

By this shal al men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

Brethren have you heard that? That is exactly what Jehovah God and his Christ require from us.

Whosoever has love is known of God. Let us have love, which emanates from a pure heart. Whosoever has

love wil not wait to be asked to do what is good. If you have love, you wil do what is good always, and you

wil always think rightly. You have to live exemplary life in your thoughts, words, deeds, actions and

movements so that you wil give glory to the Almighty God.

ONLY LOVE CAN SAVE YOU

It is not vision or prayer or preaching that wil save you but if you have love for al man then you

stand saved. If you had no love in the past, from now on, beginning from this changeover, you must love. If in

the past you had been doing good to somebody but because he offended you, and you refuse to do good to

him, seize this opportunity and change over and repent and confess your sins. You have heard that any person

who has love has passed from death onto life, but those who have no love abide in death. (First John 3:14) you

can observe that from January to December every year, we preach no other sermon except love.

ONLY LOVE CONQUERS

Who is the person who conquers? It is the person who has love. Since God himself abides in love, the

Christ abides in love, the Holy Spirit abides in love, we al ought to abide in love. Love is the throne of God and

of the Christ and it is the throne of Brotherhood. It is this opportunity that the Holy Spirit has seized to chasten

us, reprove us, and rebuke us and to change us where we err, so that we go back to our first love. Now that he

has changed you, do not go back to the world of sin. He uses love to change us. We should, therefore have

love, lowliness of the heart, meekness and tolerance, accommodating and enduring what we see from day-to-

day.

Page | 15

THE CORRUPTIBLE PUTS ON INCORRUPTIBLE

Whoever comes into the kingdom of God wil realize that it requires no other thing apart from love.

There is no other throne of God apart from love. There is no other glory, apart from love. It means, that

whosoever has love, has overcome the world. Any person who has love overcomes death, sickness, the Hades,

tribulations and wretchedness. Rebuke and reprove al those who have no love, and teach them to love. From

now on, irrespective of your station and disposition in life, let no person nurse animosity against another

person.

If you begrudge any other, repent and be saved because the father has changed us and has taken away

from us the carnal body of sinfulness, the corruptible body, the body of fornication, the mortal body, the vile

body, and has changed us into spirit, incorruptible and immortal. (1 Corinthians 15:53) at every moment of

our life, in the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening and the night, during the day, at dawn and at dusk

have love, show love, demonstrate love, speak the word of love in your prayers, and your songs, in your

testimony, and in your preaching. When you submit to love, you wil also submit to God.

THE LAND OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

The promise, which he made to us, was that if we have love we shal sit in the throne of God even as he

sits on the throne of the father. As he has the right to sit and enjoy every privilege, you also have the right, and

we al have the right and the privilege. A great many of us, have eyes but cannot see, this is the throne of

God notwithstanding. In it no sin can enter. If you were to know the throne of God, no person would quarrel

or fight, or commit any sin or even pronounce woe and curses on people. You are not cal ed to quarrel and

fight, to scramble and begrudge people, to criticize and condemn but you are cal ed to demonstrate love. If

somebody asks you what Brotherhood is, tel him that Brotherhood is love. If he further asks what you learn,

tel him you are taught love. If he asks you further the reason of your faith, tel him your faith is in our Lord

Jesus Christ. He says whosoever overcomes wil sit with him in the father's throne. (Revelation 3:21) today he

had openly declared to us that if we have no love, we wil be annihilated from the surface of the earth. A wise

man suspects a disaster when it is yet far away and takes precaution, but a foolish man stays until it reaches

him before he arranges to take caution. Do not boast because of your wealth, or because of your beauty or

because of your education or that you are in Brotherhood, but boast because you have love. If you bear malice

against anyone, if you begrudge any person, repent. Repent of al your sins, your evil ut erances,

your animalistic behavior, your pugnacious and quarrelsome tendencies, and begin to demonstrate love.

Whosoever has no love has no share in the kingdom of God. Whatever you are, if you do

not demonstrate love, you have no share in the kingdom of God. Do not be laughed at by a necromancer on

Page | 16

the final day of reckoning because of lack of love. The Scriptures say that whosoever shal keep the whole law and yet offends in one point he is guilty of al . For he that says, do not commit adultery also says do not kil , if

you do not commit adultery but you kil , you have become a transgressor of the law (James 2:10-11). We are

definitely very lucky in this era that things we have forgot en, what we do not know, what we have less

regard to, the father reminds us al .

BROTHERHOOD CAME FROM THE THRONE OF GOD

Many people believe that when you love, you are submit ing yourself in the service of people, but they

do not know that when you love you are in the throne of God. Whosoever loves his fel ow human being, sits

in the throne of God. Al those who love, dwel in the kingdom of God. Whenever you see any person who has

love, do not ask him about Jehovah God and his Christ because he dwel s in him, and he in him. Al those who

love come from the throne of God into this world. Brotherhood came from that throne. That is why when you

are in Brotherhood if you were to have love you would not have shown any propensity to fighting and

quarreling and committing al acts of sins. Why we deny ourselves of everything, why we do not fornicate,

steal, tel lies is that we may sit on the throne of God. I do not say such a person wil sit, but whoever has not

love cannot sit on the throne of God neither can she demonstrate the attributes of truth, humility, patience,

peace, joy and self-control.

EVERYTHING WILL PASS AWAY BUT LOVE WILL ENDURE FOREVER

What we should now concentrate our attention on is to have love, one to another, not to be

exasperated with anyone, and not to indulge in any act of sin, in order that we may have good report. We are

told that the commandment of God is that, as the children of God we should have love, one towards the other.

If, therefore, you have no love, you are dead. Love had existed before the foundations of the world were laid.

The world wil pass away but love wil not pass away forever. If I love you and you reciprocate my love we

shal stay in peace; there wil be no quarreling, no fighting and no warfare. If you love me and I love you,

the desire to do good wil always be kindled in our hearts and this wil remain indelible, constantly reminding

us of what good we should do. When that is done, death, sickness, poverty, warfare wil be swept away. Any

person, who is truthful and humble, sits on the throne of God. Brethren I do not want to take you any further.

Our second lesson wil now be read.

SECOND BIBLE LESSON: REVELATION 2:4-5

Page | 17

Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember

therefore from whence thou art fal en, and repent, and do the first works; or else I wil come onto thee

quickly, and wil remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

Brethren can you notice what is cal ed love. He says I have something against you that you departed

from the first love. If you have loved somebody from your infancy and at your adulthood, misunderstanding

sets in, and you sever your relationship, go back and revive that first love, instal and maintain it.

RETURN TO THE FIRST LOVE

When God sent Jonah to tel the people of Nineveh to repent, he went and preached to them.

The king fel from his throne and rol ed in dust put ing on sackcloth. Al the citizens repented and God

saved them. (Jonah 3:6-10) this night that we are finalizing the period of changeover for this year, (July 7-

July 14) every person should do what is good in the sight of God throughout his life on earth. Do not turn

back, do not backslide, do not retrogress, who steal and fornicate, and tel lies, and drink, and snuff, and give

or take bribe, and indulge yourself in the preparation of concoction. But move forward with joy to do what is

good throughout the days of your life.

This statement is not made by an angel but by our Lord Jesus Christ, straight. He said, "Nevertheless I

have somewhat against you because you have left your first love. Remember, therefore, from where you have

fal en, and repent and do the first works or else I wil come unto you quickly and wil remove the candlestick

out of its place, except repent." You have departed from the love of God, and you rather love food,

preparations of concoctions, drinking, snuffing, fornication and other carnal things, which lead you to death,

sickness and wretchedness.

CHANGEOVER MEANS GLORIFICATION OF GOD

A great many people do not know that old things have passed away that love alone is in vogue. The

celebration we observe in this "changeover" week is the glorification of God and demonstration of love

because the father, the son, the Holy Spirit and the children of God have joined hands together. Al those who

fel short of the love of God should now repent and be penitent; and from now on you should not al ow any

person to induce you to quarrel fight or commit any act of sin, but always abide in love. Wine and the

preparation of concoctions wil not admit you into this kingdom neither wil the worldly knowledge of this

kingdom save you, except love alone.

Page | 18

Brotherhood has come to save the whole world from roguery, quarreling, fighting and other acts of

sin, and from death, sickness, poverty, oppression; and to use love to save al . When you go home read that

passage of the Bible again whether your own version wil be different. Our great judge, our great leader, our

great warrior, our great father says he has something against the inhabitants of the world for loss of the first

love. He warns that we should go back to pick up from where we had fal en and repent otherwise we wil not

be saved because he wil remove the candlestick from its place.

LOVE CASTAWAY FEAR

If you have bit er envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. The wisdom

descends not from God but is earthly, sensual and devilish. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion

and every evil work. (James 3:13-17) The house we have is love, the bank we have is love, al we have are

based on love. We should remember the first love and pursue it. The spirit we have is love. Whatever love

costs us we should attempt to standby it. In righteousness, the Holy Spirit judges and makes war. Brotherhood

is love, the Holy Spirit is love, our Lord Jesus Christ is love, and Jehovah God and his Christ is love. We should

forsake hatred, animosity, malice, and seek after love; a love which is without dissimulation and flattery and

try to escrow craftiness.

ANY WAR WAGING IS WARFARE OF LOVE.

You continue to drink but you forget that you are not born with wine. You fornicate and argue that

you cannot do without fornication but you were not born with fornication. You who indulge in the

preparations of concoction and charm, you were not born with these diabolical things. Abandon al these and

fol ow our Lord Jesus Christ. We have to love because we do not love he wil deny us, and he wil remove the

candlestick from its place, and we shal fal short of the glory and salvation of God. A great many of you have

now been elevated to the first Temple. Some to the second and others are in paradise. You always think that it

is a dream. It is not, but real. There is no other war apart from the warfare of love. When somebody offends

you, do good to him. Evil should always run away from you. Do not be overcome with evil but overcome evil

with good. (Romans 12:21) but a real child of God who is in the throne of God cannot be exasperated. Our

golden text wil not be read.

GOLDEN TEXT: REVELATION 3:21

To him that overcometh wil I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down

with my father in his throne.

Page | 19

This throne is kept for al the children of God. The throne is not only for our Lord Jesus Christ or for Peter but for me and for al who seek after him. If you overcome, not through enmity, and not through

vengeance, and not through departure from the first love, you wil sit in the throne of God. We have the right

to thank God for changing us over, and for making this week a holy week. Al those who conquer wil sit on

the right hand of God the father.

THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN YOU

Do not say in your heart, "Who shal ascend into heaven to bring down the Christ from above or who

shal descend into the deep to bring up the Christ from the dead. (Romans 10:6-7) but what has righteousness

said? The word is near you even in your mouth and in your heart that is the word of faith, which we preach.

The kingdom of God is nearer to you then the tongue to the mouth. He is looking for you and for al creations.

GOD CHASTENS A CHILD HE LOVES

Whatever you see is the chastening of God. (Hebrews 12:6). People in the world depart from the love

of God and rather tend towards love for money, for knowledge, wealth, wife, husband, children and al

mundane things. That is why God has chosen to chasten us.

There is good and al other things in this kingdom, but when once you have love everything is at your

disposal. It does not cost you anything.

ANY PERSON WHO HAS LOVE IS KNOWN OF GOD

To serve in the kingdom is to have love. What we do is done by the father, and we have to do al the

work. If you have love, you are known of God. But if you do not love, you are not known of 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 holy words. Amen.

Thank You Father

LOVE

TEXT: ROMANS 12:20

“Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals

of fire on his head. “

Al the evil things you do, stealing, kil ing, commit ing fornication, and thoroughly educating yourself

from primary school, secondary school through the University; fal outside the perfect wil of God. For the

scripture states that: "The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the ful ness thereof, thou hast founded them." (Psalm 89:11) his wil for us is to dwel in righteousness from our childhood by

having the love and other virtues of God.

As I have already told you that I have no other weapon to use in defending myself apart from love.

When you come with craftiness, I wil overcome you with love. When you come with deceitful tendencies, I

wil overcome you with love. Any act of evil you come with, with my weapon of war, which is love, I wil

overcome it. If you claim to have deceived the father or you have done anything of which the father is not

aware, you are deceiving yourself because I have turned away my eyes from such things. It is only love that I

recognize and with love I have been able to overcome the world. Have you been able to see this weapon?

OVERCOME EVIL WITH GOOD

The world has no regard for anyone who possesses love but recognizes the evildoers because people

are stil living by the Torah. That is why our Lord Jesus Christ condemned such laws and promulgated another

one. That you should love your neighbors as you love yourself and even your enemies too. Whosoever

possesses love has overcome the entire world. That is why we are advised that we should not be overcome by

evil, but we should overcome evil with good. If somebody hates you do not hate him, in turn, rather love him.

If your enemy is thirsty, give him water to drink. That way you heap coals of fire on his head.

LOVE OVERCOMES THE WOLRD

Love is the only weapon that is greater than al other weapons. With love you overcome the entire

world. But up til now none has realized this truth. The children of God however realize this truth because

God is dwel ing in them and they are the only people who have been able to practice the injunctions of the

Holy Spirit.

Page | 21

No one of the children of God promised to donate a lantern to a Bethel at Obutong Abasi Ike because

there is no lantern there. Is he a civil servant or has he any source of livelihood? Where has he got the money

to donate the lantern? It is the work of love. If you love your enemy you have heaped coals of fire on his head,

and the coals of fire wil burn al the evil in him and drive away the demon in him, and by so doing he wil

become a man of God.

You cannot overcome your enemy with a machete or cutlass; neither can you do so with your physical

power. None of these things can be used to overcome your enemy. That is the reason I continue to preach love

to you from January to December. So even if a thief gets into your house and you catch him, do not harm him.

Just give him something to eat and clothe him. And that is the only examination that is set for the entire world.

If you are able to pass it, you have overcome the world. That is why Our Lord Jesus asked his disciples

whether he did not elect 12 but one among them was a demon. That demon was their examination. By the

examination, God wants to observe whether you wil be able to abide by his injunctions.

LOVE IS MY WEAPON

A certain blind woman went, out of joy, to welcome the newborn child, the Holy Father, when he was

only four days old. During the celebration of the feast, she received her sight and at that time I was not even

able to see nor talk. What can a child of only four days do? He could not do anything. That alone is the

remarkable indication of the work of God. As I have told you, that since February 1942, I have no idea of

mine. Neither do I have a house, a car, nor anything. The only food I have is love, the car I have is love, my

house is love and everything of mine is love. Therefore, whosoever has love has everything. Whosoever has

love can overcome the entire world, and in addition he has everlasting life.

It is said in our familiar spiritual chorus that the truth remains stationary and accomplishes a lot of

work. Have you not heard of the wonderful works in the distant and near countries, in the water, and

everywhere? From there the world receives salvation. A lot of people are in the habit of using destructive

weapons. The same did the disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ do. Thus he told the people that he did not come

to destroy any person but to give life to al those who believe in him and accept him. So this is not the time for

you to quarrel or commit any vices at al but it is the time of love. Love your neighbors as you love yourself

and also love your enemies as you love yourself. By so doing you wil not confront any problems anymore.

That is the reason why it is stated in Psalms 127: except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build

it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman watcheth but in vain."

Page | 22

LOVE PROTECTS

You are not aware that God does everything; that is the reason why you purchase a gun, matches,

machine gun and a lot of various weapons to keep watch over your house. But if you have love, you have

every other thing you lacked because it is only love that protects you. Love is everlasting life, it is power, it is

everything and it is also God.

The father has cal ed a lot of children of God into this kingdom. Have you not seen a lot of changes

since they came in? They do not use matches, gun or any weapon apart from love to accomplish various

works. They constitute the new kingdom of God where righteousness dwel s. But in your own case, if anyone

offends you, you seek revenge because you do not have love and you do those things so that you frighten

people. But al those things are abominations in the sight of God. So whosoever has love, one mind, mercy and

humbles himself as a smal child, shal definitely inherit the kingdom of God, which was hidden from you

when you were in the world. This kingdom is the Mustard Seed.

A stroke of the cane is enough for the wise. Let he who has ears, hear what the Holy Spirit has imparted to the

entire world. May God bless his holy words. Amen

Thank You Father

Love is the Foundation of Life

FIRST BIBLE LESSON: Revelation 2: 4-5

Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from

whence thou art fal en, and repent, and do the first works; or else I wil come unto thee quickly, and wil

remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

SECOND BIBLE LESSON: Romans 13:8

Owe no man anything, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfil ed the law.

GOLDEN TEXT: 1 John 3:14

We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his

brother abideth in death.

Brethren, take particular note of this good news of great joy which is brought unto you (today). The

scripture says that when al hope is lost, the Saviour appears. The only option for the inhabitants of the world

now is to put this Everlasting Gospel into practice. Whosoever seeks after eternal life has to practice what the

texts read to you demand. The end of the world has come and the time of foolishness has since passed.

LOVE IS EVERLASTING LIFE

No mat er your position in life, no matter how wealthy you may be, and no matter what you may do, if you

have no love you are nothing. The first lesson says, "Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou

hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fal en, and repent, and do the first works; or

else I wil come unto thee quickly, and wil remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent." The

inhabitants of the world have forsaken the path of love and are engaged in things that bring perdition.

Whoever wants eternal life has to love one another, otherwise his blood shal be upon him. You are not asked

to love one another so that you wil be rich, or that you wil be great and prominent in the society. Be it

known to you that love in itself is eternal life and once you have love you have eternal life.

Remember the forbidden tree in the garden which Adam and Eve were told not to eat of because it was the

tree of good and evil. When Satan asked Eve why she did not eat of that fruit, she replied that God told them to

eat of every other fruit except the one in the middle of the garden, which was the tree of good and evil. She

also told Satan that God had warned that if they eat of it, they wil die. Satan told Eve that God did not want

them to eat of the fruit so that their eyes would not be opened to be as wise as God. Because Eve wanted to be

as wise as God, she ate of the forbidden fruit and gave also to her husband. The eyes of both of them were

opened just as your eyes are open today. For this reason, when Adam and Eve heard the voice of God they ran

Page | 24

and hid themselves. When God cal ed on Adam, he replied saying, "I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked." When God asked Adam who told him that he was naked and wondered whether

he had eaten of the forbidden fruit, Adam replied saying, "The woman who thou gavest to be with me, she

gave me of the tree, and I did eat."

LOVE IS THE TREE OF LIFE

You have heard of the saying that as the heavens are higher than the earth, so is the wisdom of God greater

than the wisdom of man. Adam and Eve did not know that the tree of the knowledge of good and evil was not

al they needed. Although they had eaten of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, God knew that knowledge

does not lead one unto eternal life. Since they had eaten of the tree of knowledge, God ordered them out of the

garden so that they would not eat of the tree of life and have eternal life. From that time, no one has eternal

life because no one has love. The moment you love one another you wil have eternal life.

CHRIST IS THE TREE OF LIFE

You should be thankful to our Lord Jesus Christ who is the only embodiment of love. That was why He said, "I

am the bread of life, whosoever eateth of my flesh and drinketh my blood shal have eternal life." Our Lord

Jesus Christ is that tree of life. This knowledge had eluded al the inhabitants of the world. If Adam and Eve

and Abraham and other prophets of old had that love, they would have had eternal life. The same love is

lacking in the inhabitants of the world, they do not have eternal life because they possess no love. Man has

made a lot of inventions and has manufactured various things but cannot have eternal life. This is because

there is no human being who has love. Love is that cornerstone which the builders have rejected.

ETERNAL LIFE DEPENDS ON LOVE

Man has learnt how to swindle, steal, kil , shoot and do al sorts of things but has refused to learn how to show

the expression of love and have the benefit of everlasting life. Therefore, whosoever desires eternal life should

love one another. It is not medicine or money or any other thing for that mat er that can give one eternal life;

it is only love. That is why it is said that even if you bestow al your goods to feed the poor, and give your body

to be burned, if you do not have love it profits you nothing and you cannot have eternal life. And though you

have such faith and power that can move mountains if you have no love it profits you nothing. What does it

profit a man to gain the whole world but lose his life? Because of your desperation to live a long live, you

consult oracles, medical doctors and indulge in many other life preserving and protecting endeavors. I stand

in the highest heavens and declare unto you that life does not consist in these things. Whosoever desires life

should have love. There is nothing on earth that can give you Eternal Life except love. Eternal life is not found

in hospitals, or healing homes, or in visioners' houses, or in medication.

Page | 25

You do not need to worry yourself consulting medical doctors, soothsayers, visioners and indulging in the preparation of concoction and charms. Al you need to do is love one another. . Your tribe or tongue, color or

race, position or achievements, do not mat er in this case. Consideration is only given to the injunction – love

one another.

WITHOUT LOVE YOU ARE DEAD

Even if you run to the sun, moon, or star, or into the abyss or sea, or into the thin air, death shal find you out.

In order that you may escape death and have eternal life, you must possess love. Right now, if you resolve and

love one another, you are free from death. I am making it known to the entire world that whosoever does not

love one another is a condemned person. This explains why it is said that a city without a prophet is doomed.

If our Lord Jesus Christ had not come, the entire world would not have had the opportunity to be saved.

Whosoever therefore refuses to practice this Everlasting Gospel has perished. Do not disturb your mind about

things that do not matter, simply have love and you are saved. Love is the only weapon and source of

salvation. You have to pay particular at ention to this Everlasting Gospel because it is the source of eternal life;

it is also The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Let the first lesson be read.

FIRST BIBLE LESSON: REVELATION 2:4 - 5

Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from

whence thou art fal en, and repent, and do the first works; or else I wil come unto thee quickly, and wil

remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

ABSENCE OF LOVE BRINGS PROBLEMS

Brethren, is the text not clear enough? If you do not love one another, you are condemned. Consideration is

not given to positions, lobbying power, disposition or might, if you have no love, you are condemned. That is

why the Bible says, “I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love…” There are problems,

tribulations, sicknesses, and afflictions in the entire world today because man has forsaken his first love.

Brethren, have you seen how this knowledge has been hidden from the inhabitants of the world? You promise

you would never reconcile with your enemies and cannot forgive them yet you desire eternal life. How can

you have it when you do not love one another? You initiate into various secret societies and do such similar

things in order to have eternal life. Is eternal life found in these places? You have toured the entire world

seeking for eternal life and have at empted to run from God’s presence. You do not need to go to any place for

eternal life. Practice love, and you wil have it. Wherever you run to, you wil stil find God. The only source of

salvation is in love. Your only source of eternal life is to have love. You have to refrain from stealing, drinking,

smoking, eating flesh and engaging in al evil acts. Love one another and you are saved.

Page | 26

LOVE DISARMS EVIL

People are complaining of sickness, poverty, tough times and al kinds of encumbrances. Some are running to

various places for security and solace. You cannot escape encumbrances; neither can you find peace in the

world except you love one another. That was why our Lord Jesus Christ said, "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 wil guide you into

al truth and He wil shew you things to come." In the same token, once you have love, you have eternal life.

When our Lord Jesus Christ was arrested, Peter took out His sword and cut off the ear of one of the servants of

the high priest. Our Lord rebuked Peter that he should put away his sword into its place; for al they that take

the sword shal perish with the sword. That if He wanted, He could have ask His Father, and he would give

him more than twelve legions of angels? But how then shal the scriptures be fulfil ed that thus it must be?"

He then stuck back the ear of that servant. Today the entire world blasphemes the name of Brotherhood of the

Cross and Star and Olumba and makes al kinds of false accusation against Him. Do you think that

Brotherhood cannot utter a word and wonders wil happen? The truth is that if that is done, the wil of God

wil be prevented and Brotherhood wil fail. That is why despite al that the world had done and said against

Brotherhood, we approach them with Love. Satan himself knows that whosoever commits sin has no life. That

is why he goes about sowing seeds of discord and placing stumbling blocks in the way of children of God so

that when they fal , eternal life wil elude them. That is why God is advising us to love one another.

LOVE IS THE FOUNTAIN OF LIFE

Do you know the significance of love? Love is like the human head. You can cut the hands or feet or ears, but

in as much as the head is not touched, life wil continue. The moment your head is cut off, your life is

terminated forthwith. Al other parts of the body are only subordinate. When you argue how can you love

your enemies and forgive those who offend against you, I laugh at you. Love is the fountain of life, the only

source of life and salvation. But because of your disobedience, you resort to visiting visioners, consulting

oracles, soothsayers and charm-removers for help. Somebody wil claim to have removed nails, pins, live

lizards, and frogs and so on from your body. Is that true? Is it possible for you to exist with those things in

your body? When visioners tel you that juju, witchcraft, mermaid and other elementary spirits are

tormenting you; you nod your head in agreement. These things are revealed to you because you do not

practice The Father's Everlasting Gospel. Since you desire for things you can see and feel, you go to the

visioners for such things. You dread The Father's presence and would not listen to His Everlasting Gospel

especial y when you have committed sins. In the alternative you visit visioners and healing homes and

hospitals, thinking your problems wil be solved there.

NO LOVE, NO SALVATION

Brethren, you can see the wonderful love God has for mankind. Because He does not wish that we should

perish, He has decided to deliver this Everlasting Gospel. The whole world is beset with problems. Right from

the time of Adam til now, man has forsaken the path of righteousness. On one hand, if a person is sick and

does not realize that he is sick, how can he contact a physician? On the other hand, if a person is sick and

does not know the kind of sickness, how wil he get himself cured? You see that the problems and afflictions

in the world today are attributed to money, women and other things whereas the source of problems in the

world is because they have forsaken God's love. That is why it has pleased God today to send His love into the

world. Is there any person in the world who has love? Is there any person, right from Abraham who knows

the meaning of love? Whoever has love neither steal, nor kil s, nor hates nor engages in any sinful act; any

person who possesses love wil not commit sin. He wil neither hate, nor discriminate. This Everlasting Gospel

is not preached by Olumba Olumba Obu, but is a cal unto mankind from the Almighty God Himself.

SECOND BIBLE LESSON: ROMANS 13: 8

owe no man anything, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfil ed the law.

LOVE CONNOTES THE CONCEPT OF EQUALITY

Brethren, have you heard what is read to you? This injunction was handed down to mankind about two

thousand years ago but mankind has failed to put it into practice. It is on the basis of this that God has

considered it wise to remind you al once again. My duty is to expatiate on the meaning of love one another.

Which is that we have to love ourselves and live in harmony. It means that love should not be one sided nor

should it be deceitful. It means that I should love you, and you love me: the other person should love us and

we love the other person equal y, and so on. It explains the concept of oneness that is prevalent in

Brotherhood, the love of one to another. It borders on mutual reciprocity. The concept of equality in

Brotherhood of the Cross and Star also is based on love one another. The Kingdom of God you are told about is

nothing besides love. It explains why you are dead if you have no love. That is why you hear that Brotherhood

is neither a Church, nor a service center, nor a healing home. Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is the

Kingdom of God where love is practiced. It is a place where there is no hatred, backbiting, division, kil ing,

stealing, swindling and other vices. It is the Kingdom of God wherein love dwel s.

Page | 28

LOVE DOES NOT ERR

It is said that love does no wrong to his neighbor; love is the fulfilment of the law. Every other commandment

is dependent on, and revolves around love. That is why everybody is enjoined to march forward unto love and

abide therein. If after reaching out for love you abandon it, do you not see that such is the height of stupidity

and a sign of perdition? If after you have possessed love, which is the perfect state, you steal, fornicate, hate

and commit other vices, where is your stand? You are lost and have returned to square one. If you forsake al

these vices, you have landed at the state of love which is the state of perfection. When you say that there is

love in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star but fail to practice it, you have no place in it. You have to

demonstrate the concept of love: the real love of one to another. You do not have to deceive, fornicate, or steal

your brother sister's property or kil him/her.

THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS LOVE

Some people say that Brotherhood of the Cross and Star favors certain persons more. Those who benefit from

Brotherhood of the Cross and Star are those who abide with the rules and injunctions, by practicing love one

another. The other group consists of those who come here to dupe, swindle, deceive and do al kinds of evil.

These are the people who refuse to love one another. If we love one another, we have kept the law and have

passed from death unto life. There is no other Gospel to preach to you than the Everlasting Gospel of love.

John said, “And I saw no temple therein; for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.”

Therefore, we respect and worship no other thing than God and His love. We have no other thing to show and

reveal unto you except this love. If you have love you do not need any other vision, prophecy, healing, or

prayer. The only thing you have to do is to practice love.

GOLDEN TEXT: 1 JOHN 3: 14

we know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his

brother abideth in death.

Brethren, have you heard the passage? There is the fear of death in going forward but to go back is death

itself. We have passed from death unto life because we love the brethren. But those who refuse to love abide in

death. That is the judgment.

LOVE CONCLUDES THE CHAPTER OF LIFE

Go and tel the politicians, men and women, rich and poor, the governors, presidents, and men of al walks of

life that they should abide in love. Tel them also that whosoever abides not in love is dead. Whatever is your

name or position, if you do not abide in love, you have perished, but if you abide in love you have eternal life.

Page | 29

What do you gain if you have riches, beautiful wives, wisdom and al your heart's desires but have no love? If you have no love how can you have eternal life? Alternatively, if somebody lacks al these things but has love,

he has eternal life and loses nothing. If you know that once you love one another you have passed from death

unto life, why would you not have love? When you know that whosoever abides not in love is dead, tel me

why you should not love one another? Brethren, know that no other thing can help you, not even money,

children, wife, husband, parents or church denominations, except you love one another. If you abide not in

love you are already dead. God does not relent in His promise but is long suffering. God is only being patient

with man to give him enough time to repent and be saved. It is not God's wish that any of us should perish,

but that we should repent and have eternal life.

Brethren, a stroke of the cane is sufficient unto the wise. I do not intend to burden you. He who has ears let

him hear. May God bless His Holy Words. Amen.

Thank You Father

LOVE IS THE INSTRUMENT OF GOVERNANCE

First Bible Lesson: Mat hew 22: 36-37

"Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God

with al thy heart, and with al thy soul, and with al thy mind."

Second Bible Lesson: John 13: 34-35

"A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another; as I have loved you that ye also love one

another. By this shal al men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."

Golden Text: 1 John 3:23

"And this is his commandment that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one

another, as he gave us commandment."

BRETHREN, let everybody open his ears, and eyes and broaden his intel ect. Do not make noise. Do not

fidget. Listen with rapt at ention to the words proceeding out of the throne of God. That is necessary because

as the whites say, "start wel , end bet er." Today marks the beginning of Akwa Ibom State. Similarly, today is also the beginning of Cross River State. Because it is only one person who owns them both, The owner of the

two States, who also owns other states in the country, as wel as the continent and the world at large, sends

this message to al the four corners of the world. This celebration is not exclusively for Akwa Ibom, or Cross

River, or Nigeria, or Africa, or any particular geographical description. It is for the whole universe. This

celebration was designed before the foundations of the world were laid. But as our Lord Jesus Christ said,

heaven and earth shal pass away but my words shal not pass away til al are consummated.

(Mat hew 24:35/Luke 21:33) Today marks the consummation of the word of God.

Do not rejoice because of a state or a country. Do not rejoice because of a city or in feasting. This

gospel, the word of the Lord, is the exhortation sent to you today. A state is not a new thing. A country is not a

new thing. A Republic is not a new thing. Independence is not a new thing. But the gospel now preached, is

the new thing before you.

It is said, a child who walks circumspectly wil kil what kil ed his father, but a child who does not

walk circumspectly, whatever kil ed his father, wil kil him. It is for this reason that Isaac told his son to hunt

for venison and make savory meat so that he could eat and bless him. Genesis 27:3-4).

Page | 31

Know this therefore that what we have gathered here for is not to thank God but to receive blessings. You came to receive the key to the city of God which states and nations lack. The Father says you should today

come and receive this key.

Today's gospel is for al generations. It is my wish that it should be produced in a booklet and

disseminated to al parts of the world because it is the key to the Kingdom of God as wel as the foundation of

any state. A Spiritual song says, a child asks of the father in love, the Father accepts to give to the child in love, and the child should receive from the father in love.

People mistakenly assert that God does not require anything from man? Who tel s you that God does

not require anything from man? I want to declare to the hearing of al the inhabitants of the world that God

wants something from you. That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant. In the same

token, God told Abraham when he was not given any land, when he was yet without a child, nor where to

step his foot; know of a surety that your seeds should be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shal serve

them; and they shal afflict them four hundred years; (Genesis 15:13-14). And also that nation whom they

shal serve, wil I judge: and afterward they shal come out with great substance to a land I have kept for them

and wil serve me."

After they had been removed from bondage to that Promised Land, listen to what happened. As you

had already been told through song, and gospel, do not forget that the Israelites were under bondage in Egypt

for about 430 years. Similar things to what happens now had also happened in greater dimensions in those

days. For this reason, when Moses was sent to remove the children of Israel from bondage from the hands of

Pharaoh, God also promised that he would harden Pharaoh's heart. (Exodus 7:3/14:4/10:20,24,27). In the end,

Moses answered that the people wil neither believe him nor hearken unto his voice. And the Lord said unto

him, what is that in thine hand? And he said, a rod. And He said, cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the

ground, and it became a serpent. (Exodus 4:3). God showed Moses other signs, which he has to use in

persuading both Pharaoh and the elders of Israel.

This goes to show that this is a shortcut to heaven while the other is a very long route. Moses showed

the signs. He caused water to turn to blood but Pharaoh did not let the Israelites go. I do not want to treat the

story in detail, but I wil make it as brief as possible so that I may deliver the core of my message to you.

Because when there is a consensus, there is harmony.

You are the children of Israel and today history has repeated itself. You wil learn a lesson from the

analogy. The whites say experience is the best teacher. You wil have your lessons to learn so that what befel

them may not come to you. Al the same, to say God forbid does not prevent the occurrence of death because

Page | 32

what has been writ en had been writ en. What happened thereafter? At the manifestation of each sign,

Pharaoh promised to release the Israelites, at the end of such a sign. At the end of such a sign, he would refuse

to keep his word and chal enge that Moses should do whatever he wished.

Al the resistance by Pharaoh was caused by the Father. This is so because God had told Moses to ask

for the release of the children of Israel but that He would harden the heart of Pharaoh. Al the happenings

around are caused by the Father. No man is responsible for any event neither shal man be responsible for any

events to come. That is the bit I want you to understand.

In the end, God told Moses that the Israelites should celebrate a feast. He asked Moses that every man

should use a lamb, a male of the first year out of the sheep or goats, according to the house of their fathers, a

lamb for a house? Everyone was to kil it in the evening and use the blood, and strike it on the two side posts

and on the upper doorpost of the houses, wherein they shal eat. No part of the animal was to remain til

morning. Whatever remained was to be burnt.

You are familiar with the Spiritual chorus thus it is only the king who knows the secret of his

Kingdom. We al float like oil on top of water. When He instructs you to do anything, go and do so, no matter

how stupid it appears. Do it without questioning. When the Israelites were celebrating the feast, the Egyptians

looked at them as inconsequential and stupid. Early the fol owing morning al the male first born in Egypt,

including Pharaoh's, died. After this did Pharaoh ask Moses, Rise up, and get ye and the children of Israel and

go, serve the Lord as ye have said. (Exodus 12:31)

Brethren can you see what feast can accomplish. Do you see the handiwork of God? What man cannot do,

God can do.

Brethren, I do not want to expatiate in detail. I am merely scratching the periphery. Connect the

il ustration above to our own experience. I am merely linking up the past with the present. Realize that before,

it was said that they shal come to this land and serve me, there was a particular thing they were meant to go

and do. I do not want to delve into the inconveniences they met on the way. I am using this analogy as a

premise so that we can guard against what happened to the Israelites.

The exhortations you receive today were such as were meant for you before the creation of heaven and earth.

It is for this reason that I say that today's lesson is a guide to every home and state. No mat er the volume, it

wil be printed into a booklet so that if you want to depart from the way, it would serve as a reminder to al of

you.

Page | 33

When the children of Israel left Egypt, they thought that the Canaan of their dream was an already

built and furnished city, which flowed with milk and honey. They equal y expected such provisions as store

buildings, ocean going steamers, money stored for them in hundreds of thousands. They were eager to inherit

that land.

Republicanism is not a joke. You blacks do not understand the true concept of Republicanism. You do

not understand what is meant by independence. The whites are also ignorant of its true meaning. The gospel I

have given to you is meant for al Nigerians and Africans. Today, has the whole world been given true

independence? Whatever was left wil be released, so that this injunction may be kept by al the inhabitants of

the world without hindrances.

Firstly, two spies were sent by the Israelites to study what the Promised Land looked like. When they arrived,

one of them wanted to discourage the other concerning what they saw. Throughout their exodus in the

wilderness, they had not met with as strong persons as the occupants of that land. One of the spies wanted to

go and tel others that they would not be able to penetrate the land. The other spy discouraged him from his

pessimism.

When they returned, they told God that they had not found that land. The land they saw, since they

started fighting, they had not met with such persons. Some people had twelve faces, while others had four.

They were very gigantic. That was the land kept for their fathers by God.

What reply did God give to them? God told them that he had no other land to give to them, that the land they

saw was that promised. If they could, they were to acquire it, if not, it was their business. That was the first

hurdle.

Secondly, when they had completed the acquisition of the land, Joshua stood up among his people and

said, choose you this day whom you wil serve, whether the God that had eyes but could not see, ears but

could not hear, legs but cannot walk, but as for me and my house, we wil serve the lord who brought us up

and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. (Joshua 24:15)

Remember that God had promised to lead the Israelites out of bondage to a land he had promised them, where

they wil serve God. They no longer had to serve themselves but on that land, had to serve the Lord God.

What can a murderer do for God? What can a person who holds tenaciously to the traditional belief

that God does not die and the Ikpo masquerade does not die, able to do for God? What can a person who says

that God does not die and so the Ekpe, or Obon cults does not die.

Page | 34

Do you not realize the situation clearly enough? God has saved Nigeria so that we may come and serve

Him. God saves Africa so that we can serve Him. God saves the entire world so that they may serve Him. He

has now created the Akwa Ibom State so that we may serve Him. It is not for us to serve ourselves or to

continue in indulgence in the preparation of concoction, hatred, murder and strife. If we should continue in

this way, what wil be the use of such an act of benevolence? What shal it then benefit God?

This now explains why you are today gathered here, to be told, "This is my commandment that ye love

one another." (John 15:12) That is the commandment of this new Kingdom.

We are al true witnesses to the fact that Cross River State and indeed this part of the world lacks in

economic and political powers. But religious power is sufficient unto us. God, even the Holy Spirit, is sufficient

unto us in this part of the globe. However, I do not want to delve into that area, because it is bet er to inherit

God from your father and mother than to inherit wealth.

The scripture says, seek ye first the Kingdom of God and its righteousness and al other things shal be

added unto you. (Luke 12:31) That is the great injunction. At al times, the word of God is a two-edged sword.

After God had created everything, He commanded Adam and Eve to freely eat, "but of the tree of the

knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it, for on the day that thou eatest thereof, thou shalt surely

die." (Gen 2:17) God gave Adam the power of superintendence over fishes, animals, birds, trees and other

creatures of God and also gave him the injunction not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil for

any day he ate of it, he shal die.

Because of disobedience, the world is beset with problems. At al times, God had a plan and purpose for

His chosen people. By right, the first thing you should seek to know after manifesting on this plane is to know

the plan of God for you. You should find out why He has sent you, who your maker is and what He wants you

to do.

If you are a chosen of God and you do that which God wants of you, you wil reap the yields of this

earth.You wil recal that during the exodus, before the Israelites final y settled on the Promised Land, Moses

went to the mount to receive commandments from the hands of God. The commandment stated why God

wanted the Israelites and what they were required to do. Today, has the Lord set for Akwa Ibom, Cross River,

Nigeria, and indeed the whole world, to receive this commandment from God in the manner given to Moses.

I want you to read Exodus Chapter 20. I do not want to recite anything by heart. Many of you claim you are

Christians and do at end Qua Iboe Church, Lutheran, Roman Catholic and so forth. Some claim to belong to

Page | 35

different geographical environment. Check yourself whether you have conformed with the wil of God as prescribed in the portion.

Exodus 20:1-17

“And God spoke al these words, saying, I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the

land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not

make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the

earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor

serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the

children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me: And showing mercy unto

thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. Thou shalt not take the name of the

LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD wil not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor, and do al thy work: But the

seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son,

nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cat le, nor thy stranger that is within

thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and al that in them is, and rested

the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day, and hal owed it. Honor thy father and

thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. Thou shalt

not kil . Thou shalt not commit adultery. Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's

house thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox,

nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor's.”

Let our first lesson be read.

First Bible Lesson: Matthew 22:36-37

"Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God

with al thy heart, and with al thy soul, and with al thy mind."

Who is the man who says that God does not require anything from man? Can you not see what God

wants? God wants us to love him with al our hearts, and with al our souls, and with al our minds. He has

given us this state, given us independence and granted us freedom. He has sent us here so that we may love

Him with al our hearts, with al our minds, in al our lives, and al about us.

Page | 36

The four requirement is Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any

graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in

the water under the earth; Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them. You should not eat their

food nor have anything to do with them. But love your God. Al the commandments revolve around this.

This explains why God gives us the freedom to liberate the whole of Africa and the world at large so

that we can serve Him, love Him with al our hearts, and souls, and minds. When you are under a foreign

rule, you are like a little child, and no better than a slave. Then you are subjected to worshipping strange gods.

Now that you have been liberated, and have been given a state or land of your own, you are free to love God

with al your hearts, and souls, and minds, and to serve the Lord God alone.

What happens to Nigeria, and Africa, and the whole world is like unto what happened to the children

of Israel. What happens to al the inhabitants of the world is what happened to Adam and Eve. That is why I

tel you that the word of God is a two edged sword. God kept gold, other precious pearls as wel as other good

gifts of God in the Garden of Eden and kept Adam and Eve to enjoy them al . There was neither hunger, nor

lack, nor sickness, nor night. There was no problem; nothing like quarrel ing and fighting among them. Man

and animals lived together. That was as long as he kept God's instruction and did not violate the law of God by

eating of the forbidden fruit. But right from the time he ate of the forbidden fruit, God removed him from the

garden. Right from that day, man became subjected to punishments and sufferings.

This explains why I tel you that a child who walks circumspectly wil kil that which kil ed his father,

but a child who is not circumspect, even what kil ed his father wil kil him. When the Israelites left the

worship of strange and false gods in Egypt, they were given the commandment to usher in a new way of life.

They accepted the commandments with joy. But in the long run, they returned to their former deeds,

sacrificed unto idols, poured libation to the gods of their forefathers, committed fornication, murmured

against God.

If you read 1 Corinthians Chapter 10:7-11 you wil see what happened to them:

It is said, “neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, the people sat down to eat and

drink, and rose up to play. Neither let us commit fornication as some of them commit ed and fel in

one day three and twenty thousand. Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and

were destroyed of serpents. Neither murmur ye, as some also murmured, and were destroyed of the

destroyer. Now al these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are writ en for our

admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.”

The Israelites themselves, in the face of their fate, regret ed having come out of bondage, from the land of Egypt. Today have Africans not regretted? Have the inhabitants of the world not regret ed? Can you not see

the magnitude of man's suffering? Where is life? Why are things the way they are with you?

It is because you have forgot en the exhortations of the Lord and have entered unto the path of iniquity. He

saved us so that we may serve Him but you had al the while refused. It is for this reason that we are cal ed

today, to bring to our remembrance al that we had forgotten and reaffirm God's stand concerning His

expectations.

What is going to be our instrument of governance in this new Kingdom of God? Let our second lesson

be read.

Second Bible Lesson: John 13:34-35

"A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one

another.

By this shal al men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."

I have commit ed myself. You have commit ed yourself. Al of us have commit ed ourselves by saying that God

has given us the state. Here is God giving us His first commandment to love Him with al our hearts, and with

al our souls and with al our minds. Now our Lord Jesus Christ has spoken of a new commandment, which is

to love one another.

By this shal al men know that we are the children of God? Our weapon of war here is no other thing

beside love. You can now see that if al Africans were to possess love, or if the whole world were to possess

love, there would have been no problem. It is not a man-made law. It is not the instruction of a vil age or Clan

Head, or that of a government. It is the commandment of God. A new commandment I give unto you that you

love one another even as I love you. By this shal al men know that we are the children of God?

Is it an apparition that has given you this state? Or is it mermaid, or the Ekpe or Obon cults that has given you

this state? Is it man or money that has given you this State? The state is given to you by Jehovah God and His

Christ. Therefore you have to obey Him. That is God's injunction to us al .

It was for this reason that we were cal ed. Our Lord Jesus Christ re-emphasizes love at this creation of

the new state, that you love one another. That is the required instrument of governance in this state, and in the

whole country of Nigeria, as wel as the whole world. This is the way of life that God wants from us.

Page | 38

It is for this reason that our Lord Jesus Christ says, "other sheep I have which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shal hear my voice, and there shal be one fold, and one shepherd." (John 10:16)

The person, who has given us this state, is our Lord Jesus Christ. His blood has amalgamated the inhabitants of

the world. It is neither angels nor man, whether white or black. Our Lord Jesus Christ has liberated the whole

world so that we may live in love. It is love alone that is our instrument of governance.

If independence were to be gained by money, Africa would have remained in perpetual slavery. If it

were based on wisdom, Africa would have perished in slavery. If considerations were placed on power, or any

other conditions, we would have had it tough. But since al conditions are based on the love of Our Lord Jesus

Christ, His blood has redeemed us so that no one may have a defense and that we may love one another, and

walk according to His commandments.

That is why He has cal ed on us and indeed al the inhabitants of the world. Whichever place is left

un-liberated, whether it is South Africa or elsewhere, our Lord Jesus Christ wil liberate them al .

Our Lord Jesus Christ enjoins us, as the Father loved me, so love I you, abide in my love. (John 15:10) Right

now, it is expedient for al Cross River or Akwa Ibom indigenes to love themselves. Al Nigerians, Africans and

the whites should love themselves. Everybody is Brotherhood, and there it is meet and right for us al to wil y-

nil y love one another.

When our Lord Jesus Christ told the Jews about the doctrine of love, they said He was demented. If they

had practiced this lesson, they would have ruled the whole world. Since you are the children of Israel, the

Father had given an instruction since 1983, and this instruction was contained in a circular which stipulated

that from a certain time, people should refrain from al manners of sins, every person should reconcile with

their adversaries. Also, every man was enjoined to live in peace. Later, al those from the then Mainland part

of Cross River State were directed to celebrate a unity feast since they were the children of Israel.

Here comes a requirement from our Lord Jesus Christ. A new commandment I give unto you that you

love one another even as I had loved you. If we love al men, going into nooks and corners, into waters and

everywhere that man is found, not only in Cross River State, or Akwa Ibom State, or Rivers or Anambra State,

but throughout the white and black world, By this shal al men know that you are the children of God. There

are many things we should receive from the hands of God but for our disobedience and stubbornness. There is

nothing that love cannot accomplish because love does no wrong to his neighbor. Love is the fulfil ment of the

law. A new Commandment is given to Akwa Ibom, Cross River State and indeed the whole world that we love

one another even as Our Lord Jesus Christ loves us.

Page | 39

Even if you cal yourself a pope or a bishop or Jesus Christ, or Jehovah, if you do not love al men, you deceive yourself with your hypocrisy and not God. It is a veritable truth that only the children of God hear the word of

God. It does seem as if God wants to use the indigenous people of Akwa Ibom to set an example for al the

inhabitants of the world.

This is evident because our Lord Jesus Christ had said that as the lightening passes from the east to the

west, so shal the coming of the Son of man. If somebody says, He is in the secret chambers, go not forth, if

they say He is in the desert, go not forth. (Mat hew 24:26). Time was not when Our Lord Jesus Christ ceased to

exist. There was no time that God did not exist. There was no time that there were not prophets. But if God

does not reveal Himself to man, no one wil know Him. If God reveals Himself to you, is this not greater than

you possessing cars, ocean going steamers, being a chief, or governor?

The worldly achievements are but nought. The greatest thing is for God to reveal Himself to you.

Throughout al the whole world, the place where God reveals Himself more lavishly, where God is

conscientiously believed, is Akwa Ibom. You are a true witness to the love of God to this group of people.

It is not an easy thing for a mil ionaire to know God. It is not an easy thing for a member of secret societies to

turn to God. It is not an easy thing for a chief, or Royal Highness, or Professor or any prominent young man or

woman to turn to God if it were not that God revealed Himself to such a person.

As Our Lord Jesus Christ says, Al 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 wil

reveal Him. (Matt 11:27) This also explains why our lord Jesus Christ asked his disciples, whom do men say I

am? They told Him, some say you are John the Baptist, some say you are Elijah and others say you are

Jeremiah. He turned and asked them, whom do you say I am?

Peter rose up and told Him, you are Christ, the Son of the High God. And he said to Peter, Simon, Bar-

Jona it is not flesh and blood that has revealed this to you but my Father who is in heaven. (Matthew 16:17)

Can you not see the implications clearly? While others are saying til our Lord Jesus Christ comes back, or

complain that Lord Jehovah has departed from us, here we are with Our Lord Jesus Christ, with the Almighty

God, with al the angels, God is the supreme. Our Lord Jesus Christ has revealed Himself to al from Akwa

Ibom State. There is no person to whom He is not revealed.

Page | 40

Even those who claim to be enemies, or those who claim they are from other states, He has revealed

Himself to them as wel . Can you not see that we are a lucky set of human beings? We are indeed the luckiest.

Imagine the number of people. Anywhere you go that there is Brotherhood, you wil find people from Akwa

Ibom forming the majority.

If there is a lucky place, Akwa Ibom is the luckiest. If you are guided with this exhortation in al your

dealings, Akwa Ibom State wil become a world wonder. I know you have doubts in you. In spite of your

doubts, go and practice this gospel. Right from today, go and love one another, and you wil then realize the

proven power of God.

If Nigerians, practice this one gospel and love one another, you wil witness the progress in the

country. Love is the only thing to rule the world. This is the reign of Jehovah God and His Christ. No other

thing reigns. Neither hatred, nor malice, nor man, nor death, nor sickness, reigns. It is only our Lord Jesus

Christ who rules forever. Let the golden text be read. It is your take home package.

Golden Text: 1 John 3:23

"And this is his commandment, that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one

another, as he gave us commandment."

Have you heard what is read to you? That is al . These are the three most important injunctions. Firstly,

love your God with al your heart, and with your soul, and with al your mind. Secondly, love one another

even as He loves us. If you love al men, irrespective of state, country or race, al men shal know that you are

a child of God. Final y, the golden text tel s us, and this is His commandment, that we should believe on the

name of His son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, as He gave us commandment.

It is for this reason that whatever we want to say or do, we begin with, "In the name of Our Lord Jesus

Christ". We do not just say Jesus because others answer the name, Jesus as wel . When you say Jesus, are you

referring to Bar Jesus or which? But this is our Lord Jesus Christ; the more reason we say: In the name of Our

Lord Jesus Christ. Salvation comes from Him. If you want to pray, or give testimony, or make any request, it is

through His name. In addition, you should show the expression of love. Love one another as God commands

you.

People contend that God has Ten Commandments. He does not have Ten Commandments. The

commandments hang on this that you love one another, and believe in the name of His Son, that is al . Ask al

things in His name and you shal receive. (John 14:13-14) If you believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ,

Page | 41

you wil love one another as He commands us. Conversely, if you love one another as He commands us, you wil not fail to believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ.

It is said that faith goes with work. Faith without work is dead. (James 2:26) You claim you believe in

Jesus, and cry out everywhere;" O! Jesus. But you are stealing, committing murder, tel ing lies, indulging in the preparation of concoction, drinking, and hating others. Which Jesus do you profess? Your stand is not clear.

You claim that you have love, that you commit neither fornication nor any act of sin, yet you do not believe in

the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. What you profess is in vain.

This love now preached to you is the instrument through which Akwa Ibom State, other states of the

Federal Republic of Nigeria, and al the countries of this world wil be governed. It wil be used in this world

and in the world to come. Let al cal on the name of the Lord and He shal save them.

The reason why I have cited these portions is to provide you ample opportunity to read at home. Many al ege,

that Brotherhood is not a Christian organization, does not know our Lord Jesus Christ or is a vampire. The

taste of the pudding is in the eating. Tel me any church denomination that practices this gospel.

In Brotherhood, al of us love the Lord our God with al our hearts, and with al our souls, and with al our

minds. We love no other thing apart from Him. Here we love one another. Fowls of the air, and animals in the

bush, we love them al . We eat neither fish nor meat; talk less of kil ing them. Al the inhabitants of this world

are Brotherhood. Here we do nothing with any other name apart from the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. We

abide only in His love.

We do not submit to the ordinances of men. We do not imitate any person. Our at ention is focused on

this word of God. I therefore cal on al and sundry, whites and blacks, Cross Riverians and Nigerians, angels

and men and the created and uncreated things, to look at Him and to trust in Him alone.

A stroke of the cane is sufficient unto the wise. I do not intend to be tedious unto you. He who has ears let him

hear. May God Bless His Holy Words. A-men!

LOVE IS PERFECTION

FIRST LESSON: 1 CORINTHIANS 13:4-7

Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself; is not puffed up. Doth not

behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; rejoiceth not in iniquity,

but rejoiceth in the truth; beareth al things, believeth al things, hopeth al things, endureth al things.

GOLDEN TEXT: 1 JOHN 2:17

And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof but he that doeth the wil of God abideth forever.

LOVE, SUBLIMEST VIRTUE

Beloved, the above texts constitute our gospel, which is part of the teachings of the New kingdom.

Therefore, your deepest concentration is required in order that you may know the difference between these

teachings and the doctrines of the world.

It has been disclosed to you that love is paramount. You are saved whenever you exhibit the qualities

of love. According to the scripture quoted above, love endures al happenings and accepts al situations.

Whoever has love, must certainly be pure at heart. It is difficult to deceive a person who possesses love. A man

who has abundant love would never believe he is haunted by ghost or chased after by witches. Even if you

threaten that it would result to death, he would not be worried, since the spirit of love would repel these

demonic entities from him.

It is an error to believe that somebody has been prevented from serving God. The issue simply is that

the person does not have the urge or desire to serve God. Love is the perfection of the wil of God. Re-examine

the first lesson:

FIRST LESSON: 1 CONINTHIANS 13:4-7

Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself; is not puffed up. Doth not

behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil: Beareth al things,

believeth al things, hopeth al things endureth al things.

Page | 43

SALVATION FROM LOVE

Beloved, you have re-examined what is contained in the above text. You have been told what

constitutes love. There would no more be predicaments if everybody seeks to possess these qualities. More so if

everybody has love, al the inhabitants of the earth would have known and reverenced God. Al those who

have received this love wil have everlasting life, joy and salvation. Read the golden text again:

GOLDEN TEXT: 1 JOHN 2:17

And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof but he that doeth the wil of God abideth forever.

GOD’S PATH IS ETERNAL

Beloved, you have re-examined the excerpt above. You are aware that the world passeth away, and the

lust thereof, but he that doeth the wil of God abideth forever. You are enjoined to be very mindful of your

thoughts and deeds because if you are carried away by mundane things, you shal certainly perish with them;

if you abide by the wil of God, you shal live eternal y. Al the pleasures and glories of this world are

temporary. Soon they wil cease to be. But those who abide in God shal abide til eternity. Brethren, a stroke of

cane is enough for a wise. Let he who have ears hear what the Holy Spirit has imparted to the world. May God

bless his holy words. Amen.

Thank You Father

THE DISPENSATION OF LOVE

FIRST BIBLE LESSON: MATTHEW 11:29

Take my yoke upon you and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shal find rest unto your

souls.

SECOND BIBLE LESSON: JOHN 15:9

As the father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.

GOLDEN TEXT: JOHN 14:23

Jesus answered and said unto him, if a man loved me he would keep my words: and my father and I wil love

him, and we wil come unto him and make our abode in him.

EXPRESS YOUR LOVE THROUGH PRACTICING THE WORD

Dear brethren this is the time to practice the word of God. Nothing new is being delivered or taught to

you in this kingdom. What you are expected to do now is to try to practice what you have been taught.

Through my daily teachings, I have been reminding you what God, your creator, expects from you. Is it not

awful that the Orthodox churches who claim to know God do not practice his words? The texts above are the

direct words of God and not that of man, Angel, or prophet. The practice of these words declare your

obedience unto God. When you spread these words, it means God has used you to teach the world these

words. If we have love then, we must of necessity practice and abide by the Divine injunctions.

Forget about churches, healing homes, cathedrals, schools, campus, etc., and engaged in thought and

deed with practical usage of the word of God. Shun man's advice, but abide by the instructions of God. The

problem of humanity emanated from deviating from the path of rectitude. You should not expect any good

thing to come to you when you do not love God. How does one love God? You do this by diligently fol owing

his footsteps as revealed in the Scriptures.

YOU ENSLAVE YOURSELF UNTO WHAT YOU LOVE

If you love God, nothing wil block you from practicing his words. A local adage has it that, "a man

enslaves himself to that which he loves." Hence if we love God, we have to practice his words. It is because

Christ loved us that he disclosed the secret to mankind that whoever loves Christ wil become his abode and

that of his father. Stop looking for God in the sky or in the sea. He is in none of these places. Rather love him

by enslaving yourself in the practice of every revealed the word.

By so doing, you wil become the dwel ing place of Jehovah God and his Christ and the Holy Spirit.

Through loving God, you have formed a trinity with them. Your union with the three in one God brings to

Page | 45

you peace, security, and eternal life. That Christ loves us is un-disputable, and that he enslaved himself for us is beyond reasonable doubt. The proof of Christ's love is subsumed in this statement towards the end of his

earthly Ministry; that it was expedient for him to go away because if he did not go away, the comforter, the

spirit of truth, would not come. (See John 16:7)

Christ loves us and he enslaved himself for such love by suffering the indignity of death on the cross.

"Great love hath no man than this." This is the model, which we should emulate. You should note that before the era of the Holy Spirit, God spoke in parables. But God the father communicates to us in plain language.

This parabolic Communication between God and man, made it difficult for people to know the nature of God.

The result was that the depraved man doubted the fact that God has a son or a child. Some went to the extent

of denying the existence of God. These erroneous opinions were held because the Holy Spirit, the greatest

teacher had not arrived as the text just referred to explain. Al the sufferings in the world emanate from

disobeying the teachings revealed in the Scriptures. Peace, love, and eternal life came from the actual practice

of the word. This is what our Lord Jesus Christ, in John 10:8 said:

"Al that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them."

ONLY THE HOLY SPIRIT TEACHES THE TRUTH

Aside from teachings of the Holy Spirit, no other teaching, right from the time of Adam, would have

led you to eternal life. Adam was half educated and half educated is very dangerous, because it makes you

have an inflated image of yourself, thus making you become arrogant. God said he alone would teach Adam

in the garden; but Adam disobeyed God by fornicating, thereby earning his dismissal from the "School." The

rustication made Adam half educated. In this case, what could Adam impart to others?

Who taught Abraham? Who was the teacher of Melchizedek? What did Enoch know to enable him

teach others? Mention other old testament heroes and you wil come to the inescapable conclusion that the

only teachings worthy of practice are those taught by our Lord Jesus Christ. Al other prophets bore witness to

Christ by testifying that when he comes as the comforter, he would lead man to the perfect knowledge of the

truth. This is why the teachings in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star are different from that of the Old

Testament. For instance, in brotherhood, the erroneous belief that God has reincarnated seven times, namely,

Adam, Melchizedek, Noah, Moses, Elijah, Jesus Christ, and Olumba Olumba Obu has long been discarded.

Only the teachings of the father, which lead to the accurate knowledge of the truth, are fol owed. You are

therefore warned to disassociate yourself from the erroneous teaching in the world because it only leads to

the bottomless pit. It is instructive to heed the saying that a blind man cannot lead another blind man.

Page | 46

ADAM, A VICTIM OF THE SPIRIT OF ERROR

Adam disobeyed God only after listening to the spirit of error, the serpent. Adam was instructed not to

eat the fruit at the center of the garden, but the serpent contradicted God by lying to Adam that disobeying

that directive wil not lead him to death. For disobeying God, Adam was sent out of the Garden of Eden. Then

it dawned on Adam that he had derailed from the path of rectitude. To forestal the inevitable consequence of

his disobedience, he cried, prayed, and fasted for forgiveness. In spite of these sacrifices, he lost the divine

right to communicate directly with God. However, out of God's infinite mercy, he continued to communicate

with them through angels. He also promised to come to them again. He told them that he's coming would be

heralded by three things Gold, Myrrh and Frankincense. Til now, not many people know the three wise men

presented our Lord Jesus Christ with the gifts of gold, myrrh, and frankincense.

GOLD, MYRRH, AND FRANKINCENSE CHRIST'S COMING

The three things gold, myrrh, frankincense were signs that God had again established personal contact

with depraved man since the fal of Adam. Apart from the three things, another sign of Gods personal

intervention in the affairs of man was when he was crucified on the tree. Trace the history of man since the

time of creation, and mention any birth, which has at racted the gifts presented to our Lord Jesus Christ by the

wise men. Have you also seen another personality clothed with the Holy Spirit other then our Lord Jesus the

Christ? Moses never col ected the Commandments directly from God. He received them from an angel. The

angel appeared first as the flame of fire in the burning bush, which Moses saw. It is therefore erroneous to

at ribute the personality of God to Adam, Enoch, Melchizedek, Noah, Moses, or Elijah. These men were al

under the influence of angels. Since angels are only messengers of God, these Old Testament heroes could

never have been God. God therefore registered his presence physical y in the affairs of man only after the

symbols of his coming were revealed.

Before the advent of Jesus the Christ, angels dominated the scene. It was an angel, for instance, whom

God sent to tempt Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, his only son. Through Abrahams, obedience, God realized that

he is not present physical y on earth, man stil had faith in him and with this, he decided to send his son. After

2000 years, God made good his promise and Christ came to the sinful earth through the womb of a virgin.

True to the history of redemption, the symbol of gold, myrrh, and frankincense materialized as gifts.

Although these presents were presented by three wise men, there were actual y for wise men Who were sent

out to visit Bethlehem but the fourth wise man, as God would have it, had another assignment to carry out

and was therefore absent at the presentation ceremony. Contrary to the prevailing view, the four wise men do

not represent the four corners of the world, namely, north, south, east, and West. The four corners of the

world are readily represented by the heaven, the earth, the abyss and the ocean. Refer to Revelations chapter

Page | 47

20 for details. There is therefore misinformation in the world as to what conventional wisdom would have us believe. The world is one heaven, earth, abyss, and oceans are habitations.

Recal what happen when our Lord Jesus Christ died? The veil of the temple was torn into two, from

top to bottom; the earth quaked, the rocks were rent apart, graves were opened and the bodies of saints who

had died rose up. Read Matthew 20:50-53:

"Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. And behold, the veil of the temple was

rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; and the graves were

opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, and came out of the graves after his resurrection,

and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. "

A NEW WORLD ORDER EMERGES AT THE CLOSE OF THE AGE

Our Lord Jesus Christ did not come until after two generations. A generation is 1000 years. The time

span between Adam and Moses was 2000 years, and the same 2000 years elapsed from the time of Moses to

the advent of our Lord Jesus Christ. Many dispute the Messianic claim of our Lord Jesus Christ because his

coming is not exactly 2000 years from the time of Moses. But who is man to chal enge God's decision. Now at

the close of age, God has come down to redeem humanity unto himself.

2000 years after the advent of our Lord Jesus Christ, a new world order wil come into place, and

everything wil conform to God's perfect standard. The promised comforter that our Lord Jesus Christ told us

about now teaches man to bring man to the accurate knowledge of the truth. This promise is recorded in John

14:26. Only the Holy Spirit teaches the truth, because it is only the king who knows the secret of his kingdom.

For instance, the Bible we are reading today was compiled through the dreams, visions, and activities of the

people of past generations. Such people, during their time, did not know the value of such writings. Paul never

intended that his writings to different communities could be taken as the words of God, but now his original

intention has ceased to be the essence of the writing. Those to whom the let ers were addressed also did not

know the value because they were not destined to practice it.

But now the Holy Spirit, the promised comforter teachers and reminds us about the teachings of our Lord

Jesus Christ. And you have to subject yourself to the teachings of the Holy Spirit, if you care about his

instructions. Let the first lesson be read.

FIRST BIBLE LESSON: MATTHEW 11:29

Take my yoke upon you and learn of me, for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shal find rest unto your

souls.

Page | 48

Brethren, what could be greater than God promising you rest to your souls? I am a living witness to

this fact. You can also be a witness if you practice is injunctions. Love ye One another even as I have loved

you. One cannot effectively love except one is lowly in heart, meek and gentle. By so doing, one has taken his

yoke upon oneself and learnt of him. Do not say I have been serving God for the past years yet things do not

seem to work to my specified plan. Remember that it is not always the same day you dig a pit and fil it with

water that frogs do fal into it. Patience must come before joy.

Recal al the activities that took place during the lifetime of our Lord Jesus Christ and after. The

apostles preached and could not heal until after Christ's ascension, when they were empowered by the Holy

Spirit. The church was formed after two centuries when the Roman Catholic Church was established. The

Catholic teachings were adulterated when they kil ed Peter. Protestantism fol owed after Catholicism in the

search for accurate knowledge of God. The era of the Protestants gave rise to many more churches being

established.

Note that it was from the time of Moses that the coming of Christ was prophesied. The prophets did

not practice the words of God, but they were more or less involved in announcing the coming of Christ. And

when eventual y he came as was prophesied, he did indeed accomplish everything prophesied about him. This

made the people realize, that he was the promised one. But unfortunately, nobody now practices what our

Lord Jesus Christ taught. They preach the words but refuse to practice them. But al should remember that the

end of his century is the end of sin. God wil physical y assume his ruler ship over the entire world. The

pointer to this is the fact that governments, countries, institutions of learning, and churches, have now opted

for the teachings of brotherhood. This is the work of God making the entire world one.

GOD HAS ALWAYS BEEN WITH MAN

The Orthodox churches stil expect God from the sky, but God has never left man. The fact that Christ

died on the cross does not mean that the father was no more in existence. God has always been with man. So it

is mandatory for you to practice the gospel or face eternal damnation.

The entire world must be perfectly reformed before the year 2000. For instance, who amongst the

brotherhood brethren ever planned to practice the word of God? Nobody thought it was wise to heed the

instructions of God. Nobody thought it was wise to practice or testify to the works wrought by God, and

nobody is interested in praising God with songs. But now mere pronouncing the name, Leader Olumba

Olumba Obu, a large crowd is dispersed. People take to their heels on hearing the name, claiming that there is

no other name apart from Jesus Christ. I have been cal ing for testimonies, praises, adoration, and honor, but

no one found it pertinent to do so. This is because everything that happens must happen at the appointed time.

When the time for you to praise God manifests ful y, nobody wil teach you what to do. You wil know it and

how to do it, al alone.

Page | 49

Read Hebrews 8:10-12

For this is the covenant that I wil make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I wil put my

laws into their minds, and write them in their hearts; and I wil be to them a God, and they shal be to me a

people; and they shal not teach every man his neighbor and every man his brother, saying, know the Lord: for

al shal know me, from the least to the greatest. For I wil be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins

and iniquities wil I remember no more.

THE DISCIPLES NEVER UNDERSTOOD CHRIST

It is incumbent upon you to practice the words of God. Your salvation depends on that. Even the

disciples never know their master. They lacked the understanding of his words and were therefore astonished

at the parable of how difficult it would be for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. The disciples

fol owed Christ because they hoped to be made rich and so, when they realized that the rich would not enter

into the kingdom of God, they were astonished.

The question put to Jesus about the issue of whether it is right to divorce a wife shows that the disciples did

not understand their master. For details, see Mat hew chapter 19.

BROTHERHOOD IS IN ITS ADVANCED STAGE

Brotherhood of the Cross and Star has undergone many stages. When brotherhood physical y

manifested at Eton Street, I used to cook food, give drinks, snuff, and other items to people in order to attract

people and convert them. But it is different today. This is because such generosity does not help man to

practice the word of God. The order now is that you should not wear shoes, eat meat or fish, do not fornicate,

smoke, drink, snuff, etc. The reason the first set of brotherhood had the privilege to enjoy such luxuries was

because they were not baptized. Now al brotherhood members must completely disassociate themselves from

the pleasures of the flesh after baptism.

Baptism comes after repentance, and repentance is the complete denouncement and forsaking of al

unholy desires. Those who recal with nostalgia how cows used to be slaughtered for feast should wel

remember that brotherhood is in its advanced stages where everything is made anew. This is the time for

humanity to draw nearer to God by fleeing from sins. As the saying goes, the palatability of a dish is not

determined at the time of preparation but only when it is tasted. By the same logical reasoning, not much is

gained by hearing the gospel but not practicing it.

Page | 50

BROTHERHOOD MEMBERS ARE THE PROMISED CHILDREN

Brotherhood members are the children of promise, and that is why the gift of the Holy Spirit has been

given to them. So to qualify for this kingdom, you should utilize the gift to practice the word of God. Anything

I do not want to happen I stand in the highest heavens and rebuke it. What ever I want to happen, I equal y

cause same to come to existence. Two instances, which we can al readily recal to substantiate my authority

(Mat hew 7:28-29) was that the legislature to legalize abortion was almost signed into law when I canceled it.

This is because abortion is murder. Again, after God had created the requisite awareness of the Golf War, I

declared an end to the hostilities. Could this not prove to you al that the father is a formidable personality on

this earth, and that al should submit to him?

THE FATHER IS ALREADY SEATED ON THE JUDGMENT SEAT

Why do you think people hearken to the instructions not to eat meat and fish, not to fornicate, not to

hate, not to steal, among other injunctions? The reason is that the father is already on the judgment seat,

judging the entire universe, and giving out instructions to these people.

Let the second Bible lesson be read.

SECOND BIBLE LESSON: JOHN 15:9

As the father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.

The kingdom of God does not count on large crowds. Few who practice the word are bet er then

thousands who do not practice the word of God. You are cal ed upon to extend the love that the author of our

faith, even the Lord Jesus Christ has loved us, to your fel ow men. The criterion for judgment is love. If love is

practiced in the whole world, the world would be at peace, and violence would be a thing of the past.

Therefore stop blaming the people of old for not practicing love. For they did not know what love is. During

that time, the disciples of Jesus the Christ were stoned to death for merely praying or preaching to somebody.

In fact, the men of old endured very severe conditions. But now God has freed us from the bondage of

restrictions to worship. This freedom has brought to us the awareness that love is the way of salvation.

Now that you are not under any restriction to worship God, what prevents you from put ing into practice his

words? You should practice his words in your relationship with other men.

LOVE MEANS FREEDOM

You are only free when you love, because love means freedom. This freedom granted to us should be

utilized so that we wil in turn receive peace and joy to our souls. This world is now convinced that

Page | 51

brotherhood is love and this explains the present rush into the fold. Brotherhood is the abode of love since it is the new kingdom of God where righteousness and freedom is at ained. You have to love God and al the

creations of God.

Do not blaspheme, but love and desire the good of al men. If you love, you would find eternal rest for

your soul. You stand dis-fel owshipped in this kingdom if you steal, lie, fornicate, fight, quarrel, or commit

those wrongs, which do not boost good relations among people. Brotherhood does not desire sin and the

world knows that very wel . Once you count these behavioral disorders, the maker judges you and declares

you not a true brotherhood, then you should abstain from al acts of sinfulness.

BROTHERHOOD MEMBERS ARE PEACE MAKERS

Brotherhood members are peacemakers. This explains why people ask whether the father has been

consulted whenever any member takes somebody to court. Whoever investigates Brotherhood of the Cross

and Star reveals to the world that the fold is nothing but love. Boundary disputes, which hitherto defy

solutions, are amicably settled whenever brotherhood steps into them. Everything associated with love is peace

and freedom. Do not panic about the origin of this work, because we know that it is the work of love.

The end of time is fast approaching when al manners of sinfulness wil cease to be. Fighting, fornication,

hatred, lies, stealing, murder, adultery, idolatry, etc., wil come to an end. There wil be no more

discrimination, no sexism, no age discrimination, and there wil prevail limitless liberty. Starvation wil cease,

and joy wil reign supreme. Love wil reign supreme, and peace wil be the order of the day.

THE YEAR 2000 WILL MARK THE END OF A SINFUL AGE

Righteousness is now engulfing sins love now overrides hatred, fighting, discrimination, arrogance,

and pride. The light of Jehovah God is now pushing darkness out of the system, and in a lit le while,

everything wil take God's design shape. The year 2000 wil mark the end of mundane things, as nothing evil

wil be heard. That is when the kingdom of this world shal completely become the kingdom of Jehovah God

and his Christ as recorded in Revelations 11:15.

We should al have a share in the kingdom of Our Father provided we practice the words of God and

fol ow his footsteps.

A stroke of the cane, it is said, is enough for the wise. May God bless his holy words. Amen!

Thank You Father.

LOVE ONE ANOTHER

1st LESSON: JOHN 15:12

This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you.

2nd LESSON: JOHN 14:21

He that hath my commandments, and keepth them, he it is that loveth me and he that loveth me shal be loved

by my Father and I wil love him, and wil manifest myself to him.

GOLDEN TEXT: JOHN 13:15

For I have given you an example that ye should do as I have done to you.

Brethren, this is the greatest opportunity for the world to listen to and receive the word of God. There

is only one God and one Lord and al Humans are brethren. People erroneously say that there are many

different Gods. This is not true; there is only one God and one Lord. Others ignorantly think and believe that

there are many commandments and laws but I want to reveal to you today that there is only one

commandment.

Our Lord Jesus Christ left an injunction saying we should love one another as he has loved us. I want

to reveal to you what love is. The book of 1st Corinthians chapter thirteen says if you bestow al your goods to

feed the poor and give up yourself to be burned and you have no love, it profits you nothing. God is love. Our

Lord Jesus Christ is love; the Holy Spirit is love that is why it is said that Father Son, and Holy Spirit are one.

That is also why our Lord Jesus Christ said, “I and my Father are one.

The real meaning of Love is oneness to regard every other person as you. You should understand that

God regards everybody in the world as one whether young or old, rich or poor, high or low, God regards al

the same. If someone says mistakenly that you do not know God, I want to assure you that God knows you as

his child. No mat er your situation in life a thief, murderer, fornicator smoker, drunkards, liar, polygamist

adulterer, idolater etc. God wil not deny you because God is love and he is also your creator. Be assured that

God loves you. Any person who has love is in God and God is in him. The cause of the troubles and problems

in the world is the simple fact that there is no love. Do what you may in the world, if you do not have love,

you cannot achieve anything and there wil be no peace in your life.

Page | 53

If you have love, you wil not kil , you wil not steal, and you wil not disgrace or abuse or curse any person. People think that when they give money or a building or an expensive present to others, it means that

is love. No! The truth is that no matter what you give, unless you regard the person as yourself, there is no

love. That is why our Lord Jesus Christ gave us only one commandment. “Love one another as I have loved

you”. Do not only listen to these words, try and practice them and you wil receive love, peace, good health

and happiness. It is said that a house divided against itself cannot stand, what has brought death, sickness,

hardship and sorrows to the world is the simple fact that you do not love one another. God has no distinction

among persons, no distinction between man and woman, animals and human beings. Our Lord Jesus Christ

regards every person as himself and that is why he came and gave his life for the whole world.

Love worketh no evil against his neighbor. Love is the fulfil ment of al laws. Whoever has love is

known of God. And you think about yourself, God is thinking about every human being, fishes in the water,

animals in the bush, birds in the air, and al his creation. Why should we then not take stock of ourselves and

regard every person as ourselves?

FIRST LESSON: JOHN 15:12

This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you.

Brethren that is the only law promulgated by God and our Lord Jesus Christ. Our Lord did not found a

church nor did he erect a church building. He founded and established LOVE. He said we should love one

another, as he has loved us. For you to shout Jesus, Jah etc., every day at the top of your voice without putting

the word of God into practice profits you nothing. Go back and put these words of God into practice because

he has said that anybody who hears his commandment and keeps it is the person who loves him. Since you

have now known that God did not establish so many laws and the theme of al our preaching is LOVE, you

should come together and love one another. God knows that you do not love yourselves and that is why it is

difficult for you to love others. Hence, his instruction that we should love others and ourselves as he has loved

us, If we love, we wil not indulge in any vice or commit any sin because “love doeth no il to his neighbor.

Love is patient, kind, long-suffering and merciful; love does not envy, is not easily provoked and thinketh no

evil.” Love is power, love is life, and love is the wisdom of truth. God is love and when you practice love, you

wil have everything in the world. Our Lord Jesus Christ came because of the sins committed by our

forefathers. He came to unite the whole world in Love! Therefore the whole world should learn to love one

another so that there wil be peace on Earth.

Page | 54

When we talk about the prodigal children we mean thieves, robbers, prostitutes, drunkards murderers

and al those who engage in sin. They are al children of God but they are wanted children. Do not ever refer

to another person as Satan. There is no Satan but the spirit of error.

When we steal we say it is Satan; that is not true, the problem is that we have not love. The Bible refers

to the sheep of Israel and who do you think they are? They are those who drink, smoke, the idolaters, liars,

fornicator’s etc. yet they are al God’s children. The Father is here, our Lord Jesus Christ has come, the Holy

Spirit has come to this realization when you practice love and maintain a pure heart. If you keep looking at

the sky to see when our Lord wil descend, you wil look til doomsday and he wil not come to you. Practice

love and extend that love to your neighbor, then the Lord wil reveal himself to you.

You have never been told that a drunkard, thief, liar, murderer or fornicators wil see God. Such

persons can never see God. If you therefore, love another, it means that you’ve loved God and have obeyed his

commandment and he wil reveal himself to you. Stop asking where you can find God. Just obey him and love

one another and he wil come to you and you wil see him.

SECOND LESSON: JOHN 14:21

He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me and he that loveth me shal be

loved by my Father and I wil love him, and wil manifest myself to him.

Have you heard that? Go and experiment on this. Go and re-arrange your thinking. If you have any

grudge and hate against your neighbor, repent today and extend love to him or her and God wil reveal

himself to you. The scriptures say, we have moved from death unto life because we love the brethren, but any

person who has no love remains in death. (1 John 3:14) From January to December every year, I preach

nothing to you but LOVE because love is the central theme of al preaching and if you do not have love it

means you are worth nothing in the world. The time is short and you must practice love. Our Lord did not

only preach love but demonstrated it in practical terms and we should do exactly as he has done because we

are al debtors. If you love one another, our Lord Jesus Christ wil love you and wil reveal the Father to you!

Again, remember what he told you; that if you are slapped, you should turn the other cheek, that if

your coat is demanded, surrender the inner coat too that we should not rebuke or resist any evildoer. Why do

you say you know our Lord Jesus Christ and that he is your savior and master that you are a Christian and yet

you do not keep his words? He has told us: “Love your enemies, bless those who curse you and pray for those

who despiteful y use you, that you may resemble your heavenly Father because he causes his rain to fal on

the good and bad and his sun to shine on the just and unjust”. No person has the right to judge the other or

Page | 55

criticize or sow seeds of discord or create distinction among persons. It is only the Almighty God and his Christ who is al in al to al . We have to emulate him. Since he came and taught us love, we must practice it.

We must love one another as he loved us. Here in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, we preach and practice

LOVE. Brotherhood is not a worldly church neither it is not a prayer house or healing home.

Brotherhood means oneness. God and his Christ and everything is love and anybody who does not possess this

love stil abides in death and darkness.

GOLDEN TEXT: JOHN 13:15

For I have given you an example that ye should do as I have done to you.

Who has spoken these words? It is Jesus Christ whom you claim to know. He has given you that

commandment that you should love one another as he has loved you. If you keep his commandment the

Father wil reveal himself to you. Christ has given us the example to fol ow. He has shown us this example by

loving and forgiving us, and sacrificing himself for us on the Cross. He told us that he had many things to tel

us but that we could not bear them, but according to our Lord Jesus Christ “when the Comforter, the Holy

Spirit, wil come, he wil lead us to the accurate knowledge of the truth, because he wil not speak of himself

but wil reveal unto you whatever belongs to me that I may be glorified (John 16:12-15).

I do not seek my own glory, I am here to glorify Christ and remind al of you the teachings Christ

promised. Our Lord Jesus Christ said Love one another. He did not say that we should love only people of our

race denomination or tribe. He said we should love al human beings and al creation. Let us al come together

in Love and assure one another that we are God’s children.

He that has an ear let him hear and may God bless his Holy words. Amen!

Thank You Father

THE UNIVERSAL LOVE FOR BRETHREN

First Bible Lesson: 1 John 4:21

"And this commandment have we from him, that he who loveth God love his brother also."

Second Bible Lesson: John 14:23

"Jesus answered and said unto him, if a man love me, he wil keep my words; and my Father wil love him, and

we wil come unto him, and make our abode with him."

Golden Text: Romans 13:10

"Love worketh no il to his neighbor; therefore love is the fulfil ing of the law."

Considering our texts, you can safely conclude that this is neither the time to tel lies against God nor a

fel ow human being. Whoever loves God must practice His teachings and injunctions. In the entire world,

who can deceive himself that he loves our Lord Jesus Christ? From now, if any person shouts, "Jesus," ask such a person whether he has practiced the injunctions of our Lord Jesus Christ. If you had loved our Lord Jesus

Christ, you would have practiced His words.

The whole Christendom shouts, "Jesus, Jesus," yet they do not practice a jot out of His teachings. They

therefore, do not love Him. For he had said that anyone who loves Him wil keep his commandment. Love

requires and commands obedience. Whosoever loves our Lord Jesus Christ must also have a universal love for

al brethren. It has been clearly revealed now to you that love does no wrong to his neighbor.

You claim to have love, why then do you get annoyed with someone else? Why do you think evil against your

brother? Why do you hate and curse others? Do you know that love does not hurt its neighbor?

The more you continue to confess that you have been annoyed with your parents, brethren and

friends, the more it explains that you do not possess love. You confess that you sin every minute, which is an

indication of lack of love because, love does not commit sin. Whoever possesses love in its true definition, does

not plan evil against another man. Any person who has love cannot steal, kil , curse, commit adultery,

fornicate, prostitute, hate, be idle, backbite, and indulge in other deliberate sins. Now, examine yourself

whether you have true love.

The three texts, which constitute our sermon carry, separate messages. These three messages bear

witness of each other to establish a firm conclusion. It is said that the testimonies of two or three witnesses can

Page | 57

establish any fact. The first lesson states that, whoever loves God must also love his brethren. The second lesson states that whosoever loves our Lord Jesus Christ wil keep His commandment. The golden text also

states that, love does no evil to his neighbor, for it is the fulfil ing of the law. You can see that if you do not

love your brethren, you have no love for God.

Also, if you do not obey and practice the commandments of our Lord Jesus Christ, you do not love Him.

One of the signs to identify those who do not possess love is that, they do not knock their forehead on the

ground to show respect to God. The knocking of the forehead is just like one saying," (may it be so), A-men." If you do not knock your forehead during prayers, it stands to reason that, you do not believe in God. Beloved

brethren, if you claim to be a churchgoer or any place of worship, but do not express true love as directed by

our Lord Jesus Christ, that is, by practicing His injunctions, you have failed. Some of you deceive yourselves by

professing that you love your husbands so much. It is a blatant lie, because, if you had loved him so dearly,

you would not have commit ed adultery with another man. If you love your husband truly, you cannot cal

him names when you quarrel or disobey him. Love is not that simple to achieve.

Another person may profess that he loves himself so much. This is also false because if you love

yourself, you would not indulge in fornication, adultery or prostitution. You would not steal or indulge in any

form of evil. Our first and greatest problem is not lack of material things but lack of true love. If you fail to

inherit this kingdom, it should be traced to lack of love. Your designation such as Bishop, Pastor, Senior Elder,

Christ's Student, Christ's Servant are immaterial, irrelevant and to no effect whatsoever. In this kingdom, love

is supreme. You may boast about your church, skyscraper and wealth general y; but have you, in the same

magnitude talked about the extent of love you possess? Take note that without love, al these are not

profitable.

LOVE AS A NECESSITY

If you boast about having power and children, yet you have no love, it profits you nothing. You may

claim to be a king, that when you utter a word, the heavens shake and everybody obeys you. Do you also have

love? When there is no love, you are nothing. Whatever mental, physical, or spiritual capabilities you have if

you do not possess love, al amount to nothingness. Some people complain that they have left their parents,

wives, children, husbands, job and al things to fol ow the Father, yet they have problems here and there. The

reason is simple and sure: you have no love. It is said that: "Charity never faileth: but whether there be

prophecies, they shal fail; whether there be tongues, they shal cease; whether there be knowledge, it shal

vanish away." (1 Corinthians 13:8)

If you say you have served God for twenty years in Brotherhood, have you got love? Some people are

Page | 58

urging the Father to give them Certificates as graduates from Christ Universal Spiritual School of Practical Christianity. Let it be known to you that, love is your certificate no more, or less. Those of you who say you are

generous and give alms to the poor, are you sure you possess truelove? Our Lord Jesus Christ through Paul

says: And though I bestow al my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have

not charity, it profiteth me nothing. (1 Cor. 13:3) You may have faith to command one city to move from one

place to another or to heal the sick, yet, if you have no love, it is of no use to you. You may have the ability to

extract charms and diabolical substances from people, yet if you do not have love, you are an empty vessel.

You may possess the gift of vision to the extent of revealing the true nature of God. If you do not posses

love, you stand to gain nothing. You may convert and baptize five hundred (500) people into Brotherhood; it

avails you nothing without love. Love is the principal property in life. It is that mustard seed, which is smal er

than any other grain but grows to become the giant of trees. (Refer to Mat hew 13:31-32).

We are told that there are three things: Love, Faith, and Hope. The greatest of these is Love. Some

people have faith; some hope others have faith and hope. Some have faith but no hope. Al these are nothing

without love. Who has ever desired God to endow him with these virtues? Your desire is firm, power, life, and

wealth. You only brag about wealth and wisdom. Note that love is neither arrogant nor boastful. Love is the

'sine-qua-non' of humility and meekness. Love does not rejoice in evil performances. Love endures al things

and it is patient. It is said that love believes al things, hopes on al things and has an unshakable faith. See (1

Corinthians 13:7): Love beareth al things, believeth al things, hopeth al things, endureth al things.

THE ULTIMATE IN COMMANDMENTS

God has only one commandment, which is love. He is love and does not change. Whenever you have

love, you have God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit dwel ing in you. In time past, people used to talk of

Ten Commandments. The so-cal ed Ten Commandments signify the ten kings who had defiled the world

created by God. When Moses had the Ten Commandments, he did not know their significance. Among the ten

kings, Nebuchadnezzar was one. But it was writ en that one kingdom would manifest which wil subdue and

swal ow up al the other kingdoms. This kingdom, with its overwhelming power and light, wil last forever.

(Daniel 2:44) The manifestation of this prophecy is another way of proving that the wisdom of God is beyond

human comprehension. Consequently, the kingdom of love has swal owed the ten kingdoms.

A liar and a thief represent two kings. However, in the case of our Lord Jesus Christ, as it is exemplified

in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, there is only one commandment. It is written in the scriptures that the

law of God is not burdensome to man. Now you see that once you have love, you are free. Nothing is as

appreciative and as adorning as love, yet, mankind has refused to imbibe love and practice same. Man always

Page | 59

prefers evil to goodness. Refer once again to our first lesson.

First Bible Lesson: 1 John 4:21

"And this commandment have we from him, that he who loveth God love his brother also."

DETAILS ON LOVE

The above statement is not a vision, neither is it a prayer or prophecy but the words of God. No person

can report you to Almighty God neither can you report others. Whoever loves his brethren has loved God, and

whoever loves God, must love his brethren. We have only one teacher who teaches love alone. Stop seeking

after power, wisdom, wealth, and other mundane things, but strive to possess and express a universal love. If

you love your neighbor, it means you love Christ. If you love your brethren, it means you have kept the

instructions of God. If you show the expression of love to people, it means you have kept the instructions of

God and have practiced the injunctions of Christ. That is why it is concluded in the golden text that, "love

worketh no il unto his neighbor; therefore love is the fulfil ing of the law."

You, who contemplate on what to do in order to please the Lord, know that love of one another is the

answer. Do not bother about how to serve God, but love one another. Al other commandments are of the

flesh, and cannot take you to anywhere, spiritual y. Only love can give you eternal life in God's kingdom. You

have also heard that whoever has love dwel s in the light and there is no cause of stumbling for him. (1 John

2:10) Whoever hates his brother abides in death. Love does not require wisdom in order to thrive. This is

because once you love someone; you cannot lie to him, steal his things or do anything that wil hurt him.

The major problem of the world is how to identify God, a Being, which everybody has agreed that no

one has ever seen. Now, if no person has ever seen Him, when He arrives, how wil one identify Him? When

the Being would say, 'look, I am the God you have been seeking,' you wil not believe, because you have never

seen Him. In the same token, love is what no human being has ever possessed. That explains why fake love

abound and why man has accepted this fake love as being genuine.

People regard man, tree, and other creatures as God. This is false. Man equal y regards money, house,

clothes and other mundane things as love. He has erred. Love does not seek after any mundane wealth and

does not harm any person. If any person says, he or she loves you but abuses you he is a liar. He has no love

for you. If any person professes to love you and disgraces you always and does not al ow you to air your views,

such a person does not possess love.

If we had loved our Lord Jesus Christ, we would have loved our brethren; for this was a supreme

Page | 60

instruction from the Father, that whosoever loves God must love his brethren also. If you see any person who loves everybody, and does not get annoyed, neither does he impute sin on others, rather rejoices with

everyone; such a person loves God very much.

Anger, lamentation, flogging, sighing and murmuring are al acts of sin. So any person found

indulging in these vices does not possess love. If you go to somebody's house and found him frowning or

sighing, you wil conclude that something is wrong. It is said that blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the

kingdom of heaven. (Mat 5:3). If then you start lamenting that you are poor, does it mean you love Christ? He

said: Blessed are ye, when men shal revile you and persecute you, and shal say al manner of evil against you

falsely, for my sake, Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad; for great is your reward in heaven. (Matt 5:11) If you

are falsely accused because of Him and you are not happy, it means you neither love Him nor believe in Him.

Read the second lesson.

Second Bible Lesson: John 14:23

"Jesus answered and said unto him, if a man love me, he wil keep my words: and my Father wil love him, and

we wil come unto him and make our abode with him."

DETAILS ON LOVE

Our Lord Jesus Christ directed that whoever has two coats should give one to him who does not have.

He that had meat let him do likewise (Luke 3:11). Have you done that? Whatever you have which is double,

you have to give one out to him who has none. If you do this, it means that you love Him; otherwise the

reverse is the case. It is said, "That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shal smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also." (Mat 5:39) If you act negatively to this injunction, it means you neither believe nor love our Lord Jesus Christ.

Furthermore, it is said: "Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you,

and pray for them which despiteful y use you, and persecute you. ." (Mat 5:44). Your failure to comply

positively with the above injunction declares you a rebel. It is writ en: Be ye therefore perfect, even as your

Father, which is in heaven is perfect. (Mat 5:48) How can you be perfect even as He is? Exercise absolute and

ultimate love for al and sundry and you wil qualify for perfection.

Those are His true instructions and injunctions. Any person therefore who is not perfect does not

believe in Him and does not Love Him. If you do not obey the instructions of our Lord Jesus Christ, how can

you know or obey God the Father? You cannot even believe or love the Father. Our Lord Jesus Christ said, "I

Page | 61

am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." (John 14:6). Whosoever loves the son wil equal y love the Father, and the Father wil also love him. Automatical y, anyone who loves the

Father wil love al his brethren. Anyone who claims to love the Father, but hates his brethren is a liar. (1 John

4:20) The commandment of our Lord Jesus Christ is very simple and it gives you joy, if you practice it.

Beloved brethren, the works of God and that of the flesh are incompatible. You wil discover that al

along, you have been carrying the heavier burden, whereas God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, had taken

away your burden. The work of the flesh is very difficult, whereas that of God is very simple and light.

Immediately you obey His words, by loving one another, you are saved. This is comparable to lottery where

you throw in a few kobo and win thousands of naira. If you put in ten kobo to gain about one thousand naira,

what have you lost? Similarly, if you love Christ our Lord, you wil keep His words and the Father wil love

you, the Holy Spirit and the Father wil dwel in you. Can you now see what you wil gain with your little

love?

It is clear that in the entire world, God dwel s only in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. This is as a

result of love, which is found herein. If the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit live in you, then you wil not lack

houses, money, clothes, brethren, wealth and power. What do you think wil ever harm or threaten such a

person whom God in-dwel s? Where God Almighty dwel s is holy, and no evil, temptation, darkness,

confusion, segregation, lamentation and the like can ever be found in such a place. You can see that the

presence of God in any place, and in anything, sanctifies and strengthens such a place or thing. I do not need

anything, either material y or spiritual y from the world. I come so that you may be transformed from

imperfect and sinful to perfect and sinless nature; so that where I am, you also may be there.

Love is reciprocal in nature. If you love someone and that person does not love you, it means that the

love wil be dried up, and die very soon. See authority below: As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you;

Continue ye in my love. (John 15:9) Christ loved the Father and the Father loved him because He abided by

the Father's commandment. For that reason, He and the Father are one and an indivisible entity. In one of the

powerful statements of our Lord Jesus Christ, it is recorded that; I am one that bear witness of myself, and the

Father that sent me beareth witness of me. (John 8:18)

From the time of Adam to the era of our Lord Jesus Christ, only our Lord Jesus Christ loved God. That

was why the Father said: This is my beloved son, in whom I am wel pleased. (Matt 3:17). The building of

Cathedrals, electrifying and equipping it with modern amenities, does not qualify one as a child of God. The

situation does not rest on shouting the name of Olumba Olumba Obu. Love does not constitute healing the

sick, raising the dead and making the lame to walk. It is neither giving a lot of money to people nor training

people in the University. He that keeps the commandments or instructions of Our Lord Jesus Christ loves Him,

Page | 62

and therefore, loves the Father. Such a person must also love the entire world.

Golden Text: Romans 13:10: "Love worketh no il to his neighbor; therefore love is the fulfil ing of the law."

THE FREEDOM IN LOVE

To further explain this text, our Lord Jesus Christ said that he who loves Him wil abide by His words,

and His Father wil love the person, and He also wil love such a person. You can see that love does no evil

against his neighbor. If you see any person who loves al people, do not ask any question for such a person is

God personified.

Any place where there is no lying, sighing, lamentation, fear, quarrel, backbiting, hatred, craftiness,

stealing, anger, cheating and immorality, know that such a place is the kingdom of God. Do not steal, tel lies

and commit any sin, for this is the pathway to godliness. When you love, you are free. Your problem now is

that you have seen the love but you have decided not to embrace it, rather, you continue to wal ow in evil and

immorality.

Whenever you leave 34 Ambo Street, Calabar, you start behaving like worldly people and idolaters.

The teachings of Brotherhood are not expressed by you in any way outside here. Love does not judge and has

nothing to do with evil. Love is the fulfil ing of the law. Everybody knows that the Leader of Brotherhood

practices nothing but love. You have to emulate this love. Your behavior, at al times, must depict love of one

another.

You complain that your husband or parents have rejected you because of Brotherhood; that you are

suffering for Brotherhood yet you have no love. How wil you be rewarded if they love you?

In the entire world, nobody is ready to develop and express love, yet they al want love to do wonders for

them. Is this not an exhibition of the craftiness of Satan? Al you want is that once your problem is solved; you

wil disappear into the thin air. This is because you want love alone to work for you, but you would not

express same love to others. If Brotherhood of the Cross and Star was of the world, it should have been extinct

by now. Just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so also is the wisdom of God greater than that of man.

(Isa 55:9). Hence, Brotherhood of the Cross and Star shal reign forever. If you want to live with the Holy

Father, you must possess love. God is nothing but love, and once you express love, you are in Him.

He, who has love, has God and has everything. May God bless His Holy Words. Amen.

Thank You Father

LOVE: THE ILLUMINATOR AND REVEALER

FIRST LESSON: MATTHEW 5:12-16

Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so they persecuted the prophets who

were before you. Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt hath lost its savor, with what shal it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot by men. Ye are the light of the

world. A city that is set on a hil cannot hide. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a close vessel,

but on a candlestick: and it giveth light to al that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that

they may see your good works, and glorify your father who is in heaven.

SECOND LESSON: FIRST JOHN 2:10

He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him.

GOLDEN TEXT: PHILIPPIANS 4:8-9

Final y, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are just, whatever

things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if

there is any praise, think on these things. Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard,

and seen in me, do: and the God of peace wil be with you.

INTRODUCTORY SPIRITUAL CHORUS:

"We wil shine like the morning star. The people of the Lord wil shine like the morning star."

"Anoint me with oil; so that I wil shine til the dawn of day."

BCS CHILDREN ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD

How many people here represent the light of the world? It is wonderful that no one here is the light of the

world and yet we are in Brotherhood. Is there any Etonite here that can help sing that chorus that portrays

what Brotherhood children are?

SPIRITUAL CHORUS:

"We are the light of the world; we wil shine, we wil shine."

Page | 64

The world did not give Brotherhood of the Cross and Star any chance. They used to sing that song in

the time past thus: "Brotherhood is the light of the world; we wil shine, we wil shine." But presently, the song is sung with the omission of Brotherhood. Now tel me, are we not shining in Nigeria, America, London and

indeed everywhere?

If you wil agree with me that we are shining everywhere, why then do you continue to lament every

day? Granted that those who are shining do not have time to lament, why do you lament? That is why our

second spiritual chorus says by way of supplication, that God should put oil in our lantern so that we can

shine. Invariably, for your lantern to shine and for you to shine in consequence, you need that oil. What is that

oil then? Do you have that oil? Have you been oiled recently by him? Let us hear our second Bible lesson.

SECOND BIBLE LESSON: FIRST JOHN 2:10

He that loveth his brother abideth in the light and there is no occasion of stumbling in him.

LOVE IS THE ANOINTING OIL THAT ILLUMINATES

Have you seen that oil now? The lesson has told you that he that loveth his brother or sister abideth in the

light. How many here love their brothers and sisters? The fact that the second lesson tel s us that by loving our

brothers and sisters there is no occasion of stumbling for us is an indication that our light can never go out as

long as we express love unto one another.

WITHOUT LOVE, YOU ARE IN DARKNESS

You say you do not love man and at the same time, claim to love God. Is this possible? How many

people here are living in darkness because we are told that if you love your brothers and sisters, you are

working in the light and there wil not be any occasion of stumbling for you? If you therefore fail to love one

another, you are living in darkness. You cannot deceive anybody. The scripture has told us to al ow our light

to shine so that men may see our good works and glorify the father. If you therefore love your brethren, it

means the light of God in you is shining; and by so doing, God is glorified and he wil continue to bless you

and take away al your problems. Brotherhood is love and for you to survive here you must have and express

love. This is that shining instrument that at racts every person to the kingdom and to you as a person. Without

having this love, you cannot make any headway here.

Page | 65

LOVE ERADICATES PROBLEMS

I know that most people like to suffer; they do not like this glorious il umination from God emanating

from love, but they prefer doing and having things the hard way. Therefore, al you need to do is to have love

for one another. Through this, you wil shine in Brotherhood and become problem free. It is because of lack of

love that most people prefer to go to native doctors to seek solution to their problems. The implication is that

they are devoid if love and as a result they have problems. Love as we have been told conquers al things; take

away problems and difficulties that human beings may face in life. It is therefore expedient for us to have love

so that we wil have no problems.

THOSE WHO LACK LOVE DISOBEY GOD

It is only those who lack love that disobey God. If you love God, you wil love man and you wil never

disobey God, but wil do everything that he tel s you to do. There is nobody that came into this world to suffer.

We suffer because we lack love as a result of disobeying him. If you were to have Love, there would be no

difficulties for you; for there is nothing you wil not surmount with love. If you were born into the house of

hatred would you know anything about love? Now that you have been nurtured by the love of God, what

stops you from practicing love? If you can see as far as the mountaintop, wil you provide any il umination for

mankind if you are devoid of love? If you have love you wil continue to shine before al men.

LOVE ATTRACTS GODS BLESSINGS TO YOU

When you pray that God should bless your womb and start counting the number of years you have

prayed to God for this, the question is do you love other people's children? You have to love other people's

children so that God wil have mercy on you and bless you with your own children. Simply because you do

not want to have this love, you decided to go to native doctors or mermaid for children. What kind of children

do you get from these sources? This is the cause of the problems most people in the world have. If you go and

col ect a child from mermaid on the account of your desire to become a mother, that child wil continue to

trouble you al the days of your life.

LOVE GRANTS YOU ENTRY INTO THE KINGDOM

Brethren, you can only be worthy to inherit this kingdom if you have love. Stop introducing yourself as

a Brotherhood member on the basis that you are put ing on white. Wearing of white does not guarantee you

your membership in Brotherhood because ghosts, masquerades and the like put on white. Therefore, desist

from claiming to be a Brotherhood member as a means of duping and extorting money from people. Al ow

Page | 66

your light to shine before men through the practicing of love by so doing you wil be introduced to people as a Brotherhood.

LOVE IS A LEGACY YOU MUST EXHIBIT

You claim to be a brotherhood and you lack love, what then have you got to show to people. If

something happens to somebody you wil be the first person to go to the police station to make statements. If

you have love, he wil be with you from now til eternity. You use gossiping to brush your teeth in the

morning and al the time. If you were to have love, would you gossip anybody? It is the lack of love that makes

you to gossip. When you gossip God has no time for you. Leave gossiping. This portrays you as one that is

devoid of love. Check this out! People are ready to load their headsets with as much credit as possible just to

gossip one another; but they can never use their headsets to preach the word of God to people. The prison

yard door is wide open to receive al gossips. If you continue to gossip, one day, we wil pay you a visit in the

prisons. Let us hear our golden text once again.

GOLDEN TEXT: PHILIPPIANS 4:8-9

Final y, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are just,

whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any

virtue, and if there is any praise, think on these things. Those things, which ye have both learned, and

received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace wil be with you.

LOVE ACCOMPLISHES ALL THINGS

How do you attract peace to yourself? It is by doing good works. It is only love that does everything for

you. With love, you can do al things. With love, the God of peace wil be with you. If you do not love peaceful

coexistence, it means you have no love. But if you love, you wil have peace. This is the time for you to al ow

him to reconstruct you. If you have love, your entire life wil change for the better, and you wil be problem

free. How many of you want the God of peace behind them? Desiring the God of peace to be before and

behind you is an indication that you are desires to exhibit love. Love is everything you need. By loving your

brothers and sisters you love God; and so the God of peace wil abide with you forever. A stroke of cane is

enough for the wise. He that has ears hear. May God bless his holy words. Amen!

Thank You Father.

LOVE IS THE ESSENCE OF LIFE

FIRST LESSON: REVELATION 2:4-5

Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from

whence thou hast fal en, and repent, and do the first works; or else I wil come onto thee quickly, and wil

remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

SECOND LESSON: ROMANS 13:8

Owe no man anything but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfil ed the law.

GOLDEN TEXT: FIRST JOHN 3:14

We know that we have to passed from death onto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his

brother abideth in death.

Brethren, take particular note of this good news of great joy, which is brought onto you today. The

Scripture says that when al hopes are lost, the savior appears. The only option for the inhabitants of the world

now is to put this gospel into practice. Whosoever seeks after eternal life has to practice what this texts, read

to you demand. The end of the world has come and the time of foolishness has since passed.

LOVE IS EVERLASTING LIFE

No mat er your position in life, no matter how wealthy you may be, and no matter what you may do, if you

have no love you are nothing. The First Lesson says, "Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou

hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou hast fal en, and repent, and do the first works;

or else I wil come unto thee quickly, and wil remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent."

The entire world has forsaken the path of love and is engaged in things that bring perdition. Whoever

wants eternal life has to love one another so that he wil be rich, or that he wil be great and prominent in the

society. Be it known to you that the love in itself is eternal life and once you have love you have eternal life.

LOVE, NOT KNOWLEDGE LEADS TO ETERNAL LIFE

Remember the forbidden tree in the garden which Adam and Eve were told not to eat because it was

the tree of good and evil. When Satan asked Eve why she did not eat of that fruit, she replied that God told

them to eat of every other fruit excepting the one in the middle of the garden, which was the tree of good and

evil. She also told Satan that God had warned that if they ate of it, they would die.

Page | 68

Satan told Eve that God did not want them to eat of the fruit so that their eyes would not be opened to be as wise as God. Because Eve wanted to be as wise as God, she ate of the forbidden fruit and gave also to her

husband. The eyes of both of them were opened just as your eyes are opened today. For this reason, when

Adam and Eve heard the voice of God they ran and hid themselves. When God cal ed on Adam, he replied

saying, "I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked." When God asked Adam who

told him that he was naked, and wondered whether he had eaten the forbidden fruit, Adam replied saying,

"The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree and I did eat."

You have heard of the saying that as the heavens are higher than the earth so is the wisdom of God

greater than the wisdom of man. Adam and Eve did not know that the tree of knowledge of good and evil was

not al they needed. They did not know what was left. Although they had eaten of the tree of knowledge of

good and evil, God knew that knowledge does not lead one onto eternal life. Since they had eaten of the tree of

knowledge, God ordered them out of the garden so that they would not eat of the tree of life and have eternal

life. From that time, no one has eternal life because no one has love. The moment you love one another you

wil have eternal life.

CHRIST IS THE TREE OF LIFE

You should be thankful to our Lord Jesus who is the only embodiment of love. That was why he said, "I

am the bread of life, whosoever eateth of my flesh and drinketh my blood shal have eternal life." Our Lord

Jesus Christ is that tree of life. This knowledge has eluded al the inhabitants of the world. If Adam and Eve

and Abraham and other prophets of old had that love, they would have had eternal life. The same love is

lacking in the entire world today. The whites and the blacks and indeed al the inhabitants of the world do not

have eternal life because they possess not love. Man has made a lot of inventions and has manufactured

various things but cannot have eternal life. This is so because there is no human being who has love. Love is

that cornerstone which the builders have rejected.

ETERNAL LIFE DEPENDS ON LOVE

Man has learnt how to swindle, steal, kil , shoot, and to do al sorts of things including criminal things,

but has refused to learn how to show love and have the benefit of everlasting life. Al things are in abundance

in the world today except Love and eternal life. Therefore, whosoever desires eternal life should love one

another. Neither medicine nor money nor any other thing for that matter can give one eternal life except love.

That is why it is said that even if you bestow al your goods to feed the poor, and give your body to be burned,

if you do not have love it profits you nothing and you cannot have eternal life. Even if you have such faith and

power that can move mountains and do many wonderful works, if you possess not love it profits you nothing.

Page | 69

What does it profit a man to gain the whole world but lose his life?

For want of long life, you consult oracles, medical doctors and indulge in many other life preserving

and protecting endeavors. I stand in the highest heavens and declare unto you that life does not consist in

these things. Whosoever desires life should have love. There is nothing on Earth that can give you eternal life

except love. Eternal life is not found in hospitals, or healing homes, or in visionaries houses, or in medication.

You do not need to worry yourself consulting medical doctors, soothsayers, visionaries and indulging in the

preparation of concoction and charms. Al you need to do is love one another. Your tribe or tongue, color or

race, position or achievements, do not mat er in this case. Consideration is only given to the injunction love

one another.

WITHOUT LOVE, YOU ARE DEAD

Even if you run into the sun, moon or star, or into the abyss or sea, or in the thin air, death shal find

you out. In order that you may scape death and have eternal life, you must possess love. Right now, if you

resolve and love one another, you are free from death. I am making it known to the entire world that

whosoever does not love one another is a condemned fel ow. This explains why it is said that a city without a

prophet is doomed. If our Lord Jesus Christ had not come, the entire world would not have had the

opportunity to be saved. Whosoever therefore, refuses to practice this gospel has perished. Do not disturb your

mind about things that do not mat er, simply have love and you are saved. Love is the only weapon and source

of salvation. Let the first lesson be read. You have to pay serious attention to this gospel because it is the source of eternal life. It is also the father, the son and the Holy Ghost.

FIRST LESSON: REVELATION 2:4-5

Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from

whence thou hast fal en, and repent, and do the first works; or else I wil come unto thee quickly, and wil

remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

LOVE: THE ONLY SOURCE OF SALVATION

Brethren, is the text not clear enough? If you love not one another, you are condemned. Consideration

is not given to positions, lobbying power, disposition or might. If you have no love, you are condemned. That is

why the Bible says, "I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast forsaken thy first love. ." There are

problems, tribulations, sicknesses and afflictions in the entire world today because man has forsaken his first

love.

Page | 70

Brethren, have you seen how this knowledge has been hidden unto the inhabitants of the world? You

asserted vehemently that you would not reconcile with your enemies and cannot forgive them, yet you desire

eternal life. How can you have it when you do not love one another? Is eternal life found in these places? You

have toured the entire world seeking for eternal life and have at empted to run from God's presence. You do

not need to go to any place for eternal life. Practice love, and you wil have it. Wherever you run to, you wil

stil find God. The only source of salvation is in love. Your only source of eternal life is to have love. You have

to refrain from stealing, drinking, smoking eating flesh and engaging in al evil acts. Love one another and

you are saved.

LOVE DISARMS EVIL

People are complaining of sicknesses, poverty, tough times and al kinds of encumbrances. Some are

running into various places for security and solace. You cannot escape encumbrances; neither can you find

peace in the world except you love one another. That was why our Lord Jesus Christ said, "I have yet many

things to say unto you, but you cannot bear them now. Howbeit, when he, the spirit of truth is come, he wil

guide you into al truth. .and he wil shew you things to come." In the same token, once you have love, you

have eternal life.

When our Lord Jesus Christ was arrested, Peter took out his sword and cut off the ear of one of the

servants of the high priest. Christ rebuked Peter saying, “Put up again thy sword into his place: for al they that

take the sword shal perish with the sword. Thinkest thou that I cannot pray to my Father, and he wil

presently give me more than 12 legions of angels? But how then shal the Scriptures be fulfil ed that thou it

must be? He then stuck back the ear of that servant.

Today the entire world blasphemes the name of Brotherhood and makes al kinds of false accusations

against it. Do you think that Brotherhood cannot utter a word and wonders wil happen? The truth is that if

that is done, the wil of God wil be prevented and Brotherhood wil fail. That is why in spite of al that the

world has done and said against Brotherhood, we approach them with love. Satan himself knows that

whosoever commits sin has no life in him. That is why he goes about sowing seeds of discord and placing

stumbling blocks on the ways of the children of God so that when they fal , eternal life wil elude them. That is

why God is advising us to love one another.

LOVE IS THE FOUNTAIN OF LIFE

Do you know the significance of love? Love is like the human head. You can cut the hands or feet or

ears, but in as much as the head is not touched, life wil continue. The moment your head is cut off, life is

Page | 71

terminated forth with. Al other parts of the body are only subordinate.

When you argue how you can love your enemies and forgive those who offend you, I laugh at you.

Love is the fountain of life, the only source of life and salvation.

But because of your disobedience, you resort to visiting visioners, consulting oracles, soothsayers and charm

removers for help. Somebody wil claim to have removed nails, pins, life lizards, and frogs and so on from

your body. Is that true? Is it possible for you to exist with those things in your body?

When visioners tel you that juju, witchcraft, mermaid and other elementary, spirits are tormenting

you; you nod your head in agreement. These things are revealed to you because you do not practice the

father's gospel. Since you desire the things you can see and feel, you go to the visioners for such things. You

dread the father's presence and would not listen to his gospel especial y when you have committed sins. In the

alternative, you visit visioners and healing homes and hospitals, thinking your problems wil be solved there.

Brethren, you can see the wonderful love God has for mankind. Because he does not wish that we

should perish, he has decided to deliver this gospel. The whole world is beset with problems. Right from the

time of Adam til now, man has forsaken the path of righteousness. On one hand if a person is sick and does

not realize that he is sick, how can he contact a physician? On the other hand, if a person is sick and does not

know the kind of sickness, how wil he get himself cured? You can see that the problems and afflictions in the

world today are at ributed to money, women and other things whereas the cause of the problems in the world

is because they have forsaken God's love. That is why it has pleased God today to send his love into the world.

Is there any person in the world who has love? Is there any person right from Abraham who knows

the meaning of love? Whoever has love neither steals, nor kil s, nor hates nor engages in any sinful act. Any

person who possesses love wil not commit sin. He wil neither hate nor discriminate. This gospel is not preach

by Olumba Olumba Obu but is a cal unto mankind from the Almighty God himself.

SECOND LESSON: ROMANS 13:8

Owe no man anything but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfil ed the law.

LOVE CONNOTES ONENESS AND EQUALITY

Brethren, have you heard what is read to you? This injunction was handed down to mankind about

2000 years ago but mankind has failed to put it into practice. It is on the basis of this that God has considered

it wise to remind you al once again. God has to expatiate upon the meaning of love one another. The meaning

Page | 72

of it is that we have to love ourselves and live in harmony. It means that I should love you, and you should love me; the other person should love us as we love him equal y, and so on. It explains the concept of oneness

that is prevalent in Brotherhood, the love of one to another. It borders on mutual reciprocity.

The concept of equality in Brotherhood also is based on love one another. The kingdom of God you are

told about is nothing beside love. It explains why you are dead if you have no love. That is why you hear that

Brotherhood is neither a church, nor a service center, nor a healing home, nor a school. Brotherhood of the

Cross and Star is the kingdom of God where love is practiced. It is a place where there is no hatred,

backbiting, division, kil ing, stealing, swindling and other vices. It is the kingdom of God wherein dwel s love.

LOVE DOES NOT ERR

It is said that love does no wrong to his neighbor; love is the fulfil ment of the law. Every other

commandment is dependent on and revolves around love. That is why everybody is enjoined to march

forward on to love and abide therein. If after reaching out for love you abandon it, do you not see that such is

the height of stupidity and a sign of Perdition? If after you have possessed love, which is the perfect state, you

steal, fornicate, hate and commit other vices, where is your stand? You have returned to square one and are

lost. If you forsake al these vices, you have landed in the state of love, which is the state of perfection. When

you say that there is love in Brotherhood but fail to practice it, you have no place in it. You have to

demonstrate the concept of love the real love of one to another. You do not have to deceive, fornicate or steal

your brother’s property or kil him.

BROTHERHOOD FAVORS ONLY THOSE WHO HAVE LOVE

Some people say that Brotherhood favors certain persons more. Those who benefit from Brotherhood

are those who abide with the rules and injunctions here by practicing love one another. If we love one

another, we have kept the law and have passed from death unto life.

There is no other gospel to preach to you than the Gospel of love. "I saw no temple therein: for the Lord

God Almighty and the lamb are the temple of it." Therefore, we respect and worship no other thing than God

and his love. We have no other thing to show and reveal, unto you except this love. If you have love you have

passed from death unto life. You do not need any other vision, prophecy, healing or prayer. The only thing

you have to do is to practice love.

GOLDEN TEXT: FIRST JOHN 3:14

We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his

Page | 73

brother abideth in death.

Brethren, have you heard the passage? There is the fear of death in going forward but to go back is

death itself. We have passed from death unto life because we love the brethren. But those who refuse to love

abide in death. That is the judgment.

LOVE CONCLUDES THE CHAPTER OF LIFE

Go and tel the politicians, men and women, rich and poor, the governors, presidents and men of al

walks of life that they should abide in love. Tel them also that whosoever abides not in love is dead. Whatever

is your name or position, if you do not abide in love you have perished, but if you abide in love you have

eternal life. What do you gain if you have riches, beautiful wives, wisdom and al your heart's desire but have

no love? Alternatively, if somebody lacks al these things but has love, he has eternal life and loses nothing. If

you know that once you love one another you have passed from death unto life, why would you not have

love?

When you know that whosoever abides not in love is dead, tel me why you should not love one

another? Brethren, no that no other thing can help you, not even money, children, wife, husband, parents or

church denominations, except you love one another. If you abide not in love you are already dead. God does

not relent in his promise but is long-suffering. God is only being patient with man to give him enough time to

repent and be saved. It is not God's wish that any of us should perish, but that we should repent and have

eternal life. Brethren, a stroke of cane is sufficient unto the wise. I do not intend to burden you. He who has

ears let him hear. May God bless his holy words. Amen

Thank You Father.

REIGN OF LOVE

FIRSTLESSON: JOHN 15: 5-6

"I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit:

for without me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and

men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned."

SECOND LESSON: JOHN 14: 9-10

"Jesus saith unto him, have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? He that hath

seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?" Believest thou not that I am in

the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that

dwel eth in me, he doeth the works."

GOLDEN TEXT: JOHN 13:34 - 35

"A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one

another. By this shal al men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."

THE WEIGHT OF LOVE

Beloved, this message has a lot to do with the Kingdom of Brotherhood. When it is said that the

Kingdoms of the world have become the kingdom of God and His Christ, it means that love has engulfed the

entire universe. The importance of love cannot be over- emphasized. It is so important that even if somebody

should sel al his possession and give the proceeds to the poor, such display of charity would be worthless and

meaningless, if he does not possess love. Similarly, even if somebody surrenders himself to be burnt in a

furnace of fire when he does not have love, it is equal y meaningless and unprofitable. Further emphasis is

stil laid on this issue of love where even if a person gives his life as a ransom for others but does not have

love; such an exercise would also be unprofitable to him. The greatest thing as far as the present dispensation

is concerned is love. Love is the greatest thing in the whole world. Subsequent generations would not be

known without love. The interpretation of King Nebuchadnezzar's dream about a certain kingdom that would

emerge, tower over and swal ow up al other existing kingdoms referred directly to love. What it implies is

that love would be the only covenant and ruler of the whole world. Therefore it would be meaningless to have

mercy, be truthful and honest if you do not have love. Even if you are the most eloquent and astute preacher

in the world, your eloquence would amount to nothing and would not be appreciated if you do not possess

love. This time is meant for you to realize that love is God, Christ, man and every good thing that exist in

heaven and on earth.

Page | 75

THE DEADLINE FOR THE MANIFESTATION OF LOVE

Your claims to love God are false if you do not love man. If you love man, your love for God and Christ

would be profound. Christ unequivocal y stated that, whoever loves his brother is the one that adheres to His

commandments and His Father would make His abode in him. You are living witnesses to the fact that since

the time of creation, love had never before existed in this magnitude in the world. You are considered most

lucky because the Holy Spirit has descended to earth, and by the close of the century, that is, 2000 AD, you

would witness the profuse and ful manifestation of love. The activities going on now are preparations for the

enthronement of love by 2000. From then love wil reign til eternity. This happening wil be an affirmation of

the scriptural statement that the kingdoms of the world have become the kingdom of God and His Christ, and

He shal reign eternal y.

THE ORIGIN OF THE CONCEPT OF LOVE:

Recal the statement that was made during the baptism of Christ by John at the River Jordan. John

heard a voice, which said, "This is my beloved son, in whom I am wel pleased." This statement was referring to love, for Christ is love. Any person who has love has obeyed God. Our Lord Jesus Christ first introduced the

concept of love into the world. And as the one who introduced it, He as wel practical y demonstrated it to the

ful est. It is therefore imperative that everybody fol ows the path paved by Our Lord Jesus Christ by

demonstrating love. Certainly, if you practice love, you wil have eternal life. Our Lord Jesus Christ is love.

God is love and in order to resemble Him, you must demonstrate love.

THE ONLY EXISTING LAW

The only existing law in the kingdom of God is brotherly love. Everybody co-exists in oneness and

love. So al you are required to do is to express love for one another. If there is anything worthy of human

consideration, it should be love. The most precious and worthiest thing in life is love. There is no doubt that al

of us are familiar with the teachings of Our Lord Jesus Christ on love. In His teachings, Christ thoroughly

expatiated on the concept of love so that nobody would feign ignorance of its paramount importance in our

daily lives. Christ's unique ability to practical y demonstrate love was the only overwhelming achievement

that conferred on Him the divine title of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. It would not be an exaggeration

if we accord love the greatest glory much more than anything else in whole world. There was no other thing

apart from love that prompted Christ to stoop so low as to accept the shameful death on the cross for the

remission of the sins of humanity. So it was Christ who revealed love to the world. What we are enjoined to do

is to closely fol ow His footsteps. Although love was never practiced until the advent of Our Lord Jesus Christ,

but it had been in existence even before the foundation of the world was laid. Everything in heaven and on

earth is ruled by love. We are advised to continue in love, especial y now that we have the understanding that

God and Christ are love. Undeniably, it is bet er to dwel in love than cause confusion, engage in quarrel ing,

Page | 76

falsehood and other unwholesome acts. Love does not rejoice in evil. Love constitutes mercy, meekness, humility, kindness and the rest of the virtues. Summarily, love entails everything; that is why it is said, 'love

covers iniquities.' It is the fulfilment of al the laws. Any person who has love is not boastful and does not hate

his fel ow man. There is no pride in anybody who possesses love, and such a person can never hurt his

brother.

The signs that are found in somebody who embodies love are humility, temperance, mercy, endurance,

patience, longsuffering, and the ability to live peaceful y with one another. But the reverse is the case with

someone who lacks love; he is always surrounded by one kind of problem or the other, quarrelsome,

impatient, intolerant, merciless and always in an aggressive mood. Christ is love, and because of that, He

declared that He is the vine while we are the branches; and whoever does not abide in Him cannot

accomplish any work. Al the problems that befal man emanate from his lack of love. A sower of a seed of

discord indulges in falsehood, stealing, nurtures the spirit of disunity, stinginess and malice, and as such does

not embody the virtues of God. There is an iota of love in everything visible and invisible. Love is

immeasurable.

Re-examine the First lesson:

FIRST LESSON: JOHN 15: 5-6

"I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit:

for without me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and

men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned."

THE CHARACTERISTICS OF LOVE

Brethren, this is the plain truth: Love is like an egg; fragile and delicate, whenever it fal s on the

ground, it gets broken and useless. Love is light; without it, you cannot see. You become decomposed and

useless anytime you indulge in falsehood and al your efforts to progress in life wil be futile. Each time you

keep malice or get angry, you break the law, and nothing can amend it. Love could be likened to a needle that

cannot be mended once it is broken. That is the reason why you are to have love, for it constitutes eternal life.

You can only be an heir of the kingdom and a permanent dwel er of the kingdom when you possess Love.

And on the other hand, if you lack love in you, you shal be destroyed from the earth surface. Love is the only

key to the Kingdom of God. Anybody who does have love cannot see the gates of God's kingdom. In the

kingdom of God, love constitutes everything to everybody. Division, hatred, fighting and quarrel ing does not

have any place in the kingdom. There is no gender, age or race distinction in the kingdom. To God, everything

is masterminded and control ed by love. So, we do not have any problem whatever since love constitutes

everything to us.

Page | 77

THE CONSEQUENCE OF LACK OF LOVE

Any person who indulges in falsehood does not have love in him, and the only alternative is to cast

him into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. Love is the supreme commander of heaven and earth.

Whenever reference is made to the New Kingdom, we are referring to love. The stipulated punishment for

whoever contravenes the dictates of love is condemnation to a lake of fire. The time is ripe for everybody to

demonstrate love because if you do not practice love, you wil be shown the way out of the kingdom. Even

though you surrender al your possession to the poor, it would not benefit you anything if you do not have

love.

LOVE: ANOTHER NAME OF GOD

Love is God, and it is everlasting; it neither deteriorates nor can be diluted. God does not have another

name apart from love. Love is perfection. Love has been in existence before the foundation of the world was

laid. He has been from the 'everlasting of the past' and shal be til eternity. What we cal the world is an

overflow of the love of god arranged in artistic perfection. And because the world is not aware of this truth, it

becomes inevitable that the people of the world must experience inexplicable problems as a way of making

them recognize Him. There would have been no more problems if everybody had surrendered to love.

THE FULFILMENT OF LOVE BY THE HOLY SPIRIT

This gospel is serving as a final warning to the entire dwel ers of the world. Whoever refuses to love

his brother by deviating from the path of love wil be doomed. Christ was the first to introduce the doctrine of

love, however, He did not ensure its ful manifestation, and He merely laid its foundation. And in the present

dispensation, the Holy Spirit has come down to the earth to bring everything to ful manifestation. That is why

you are enjoined not to ascribe the title of teacher to any other person other than the Holy Spirit, for He is the

Sole Instructor and the only Teacher. The problems in the whole world became compounded because of the

absence of a righteous man who could lead mankind. However, in the present dispensation, the Holy Spirit

has come down on earth to lead everybody. It is therefore expedient for us to look up to Him as a model, for

the scriptures had revealed that we should emulate Him when He makes His appearance in the world.

God has one truth, which reveals His steadfastness and omnipotence: indeed, when He sends you on an

errand, He goes along with you to accomplish it. Presently, he has manifested on earth to get rid of the wrong

conceptions that had before now been associated with love. The present generations wil not pass away until

everything that was ordained to happen comes to manifestation. The father has come to establish love in the

entire world. This is the first time since creation that love has manifested physical y in the world.

When He came as Christ in His last advent, He could not demonstrate perfect love hence, He said, "I

have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is

Page | 78

come, he wil guide you into al truth: for he shal not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shal hear, that shal he speak: and he wil shew you things to come." (John 16: 12- 13) This is the time prophesied about.

Evidently, He has come to lead you to the accurate knowledge of the truth. He has also come to establish love

in the whole world. Al the people who do not possess love are not worthy to enter into the kingdom of god.

And if you are not in the kingdom of god, you wil be eliminated from the surface of earth.

AVOID THE MISTAKES OF YOUR PREDECESSORS

It is not possible to adulterate love; love is unique and vibrant. As popularly said, when one finger

touches oil, it soils the other fingers. Also, bad habit corrupts good manners. Imagine what wil happen if a

person who was elected into an office of the Prime Minister embezzles an enormous sum of money from the

government's coffer during his tenure in office, indisputably, whoever succeeds him wil be regarded as an

embezzler. This is the ugly-situation prevalent in the world. One evil deed multiplies or produces many more

evil. The reason why Abraham cannot be regarded as a completely righteous man is because he waged series

of wars against his neighboring people. Paul's belated righteousness cannot also be accepted because he

consented to Stephen's death. More so, Mat hew a tax col ector and later disciple of Our Lord Jesus Christ

cannot be rated as good, because of the nature of his job before his apostleship; he was considered a cheat and

an enemy of the public. Al these problems and situations are commonplace in the Nigerian society in

particular and the whole world in general.

Re-examine the Second Lesson:

SECOND LESSON: JOHN 14: 9-10

"Jesus saith unto him, have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? He that hath

seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?" Believest thou not that I am in

the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that

dwel eth in me, he doeth the works."

DIRECTIVES OF THE ALMIGHTY GOD

Since the Disciples of Christ were not aware that Christ was the Father Himself, Philip demanded that

Christ should show them the Father. The entire teachings of Christ to His disciples came from the Father. This

gospel you are reading equal y comes from the Father who is the Almighty God. No other being apart from the

Almighty God wil advise you to desist from stealing, fornication, hate and other malicious acts. The almighty

God is love. He has now manifested physical y on earth for the whole world to see him. If you are lucky to find

yourself in the kingdom, it is advisable that you hearken to the injunctions, which i give to you. In the nearest

future, al wil constitute a shining example of a nation led by the Mighty hand of God. Indisputably, it is only

a nation led by God that can achieve what is only obtainable in a utopian state.

Page | 79

Your refusal to practical y demonstrate the injunctions of God as I impart to you has a great deal

hindered the manifestation of the love of God in you and in the whole world. The reason why you have not

begun to emulate God is that He is not yet revealed. I know you would certainly do so when He is revealed.

God does not demand anything from you apart from you practicing al the teachings given you in the

kingdom of God now among men. Having come into the kingdom, you have utterly been transformed into a

new being. While many people are wal owing in sins in the world, you are enjoying in the kingdom. At

present, you may not be able to see the differences, but in future when the scales that are preventing you from

seeing clearly shal have fal en off your eyes, you wil then behold the glory of God. It is impossible for you to

see the love of God when you are stil neck-deep in sin.

THE BENEFITS OF BEING IN BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR

Various church denominations stil regard Brotherhood as an organization that is opposing the

practice of the injunctions of God. Others say it is not a church. Of course, this group that says Brotherhood is

not a church, is right because Brotherhood is no church but the kingdom of God on earth, where

righteousness reigns. It is where al the injunctions of God are practiced. The world is expecting the coming of

Christ but fortunately, you have the Promised Comforter in your midst and you are also lucky to be by Him. As

many as would put into practice His teachings would have salvation. It is worthy to mention that many of the

members have, through the teachings of the Holy Spirit, abstain from the eating of fish, meat, refrained from

fornication, indulging in diabolism and other vices. You have now been born anew; you have become a child

of God.

Vision and prophecy cannot confer on anybody the title of child of God. The childhood of God can

only be acquired through practicing the injunctions of God. Love is the embodiment of al things. So it is

imperative that everybody in the world, irrespective of church, age, sex and racial differences, possess love.

Whether you are a churchgoer or pagan al you are required to do is to possess and demonstrate love in al

your dealings in life. The reason why you are asked to show love is that if you have love, you automatical y,

are a child of God.

BCS: THE NEW KINGIDOM OF GOD

In order to have good preservation, new wine should be put in a new wineskin. Brotherhood of the

Cross and Star is the New Kingdom of God and the only known law is love. Everybody is implored to express

love to one another. If you do not have love and express it to others, you would not have share in the kingdom.

Should you take a critical look at the entire situation in the world and her inhabitants, you would discover

that there is nobody who loves his brother. But God has now come with His kingdom to supplant al other

worldly kingdoms. So the consequence for those who do not have love is complete extermination from the

surface of the earth. When this mass elimination would be carried out, no consideration wil be given to the

Page | 80

Catholics, Presbyterians, Methodist, Buddhists, Eckists or Muslims. As a mat er of fact, religious affiliation is not a criterion for salvation. The only key to salvation is love. If you possess love, the gate of the kingdom lies

ever open to you.

Re-examine the Golden Text:

GOLDEN TEXT: JOHN 13:34 - 35

"A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one

another. By this shal al men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."

SPIRITUAL CHORUSES: "I have brought a new commandment: Dwel in love".

"The covenant of Moses has gone, Love is the new covenant"

THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE NEW COVENANT

Beloved, God has come into the world to reform mankind. You should count yourself most fortunate to

be taught by Him. So you do not have time to waste, you should at once start expressing love to one another.

Where you fail to do so, you wil certainly face damnation. LET THIS SINK INTO YOUR MARROW, BLOOD

AND MIND; THE COVENANT OF MOSES IS NOW OBSOLETE AND NO MORE RELEVANT TO THE NEW

SYSTEM; LOVE IS NOW THE COVENANT. Therefore, if you refuse to exhibit love to everybody, you would not

exist in the world by 2000 AD. The divine assurance is that love wil permeate al realms, and control al

planes of manifest by the close of this century. Let me resound this warning: whoever does not turn a new leaf

by practicing love shal be destroyed. There is no other law that shal exist at that time in the world apart from

love. The deadline meant for everybody to posses love is 2000 ad. Anybody who has no love by this time shal

face destruction.

LOVE IS THE ONLY LAW FOR ALL THE CHILDREN OF GOD

It is only through love that you can be identified as a true child of God. Do not rejoice because you are

holding any ecclesiastical office such as Pope, Bishop, Archbishop or Pastor; God is no respecter of persons. If

you hold any of these offices but do not have love, it wil amount to complete waste of time. Brethren, a stroke

of cane is enough for the wise. Let he who has ear hear what the Holy Spirit has imparted to the entire world.

May God bless His Holy Words, Amen.

Thank You Father.

LOVE: THE HALLMARK OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

FIRST LESSON: FIRST CORINTHIANS 13:3

And though I bestow al my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not

charity, it profiteth me nothing.

SECOND LESSON: SECOND TIMOTHY 2:22

Flee also youthful lust: but fol ow righteousness, faith, charity, peace with them that cal on the Lord out of a

pure heart.

GOLDEN TEXT: ROMANS 13:10

Love worketh no il to his neighbor therefore love is the fulfil ing of the law.

THE ESSENCE OF LOVE

Beloved, this gospel intends to spel out your duties as a child of God's kingdom. If you have love, you

would not tel lies, bear malice, steal or engage in any form of sinful act. With love, al your hopes are

realized and no iota of evil wil be found in you. You may be good at rendering services to people, giving

financial assistance to the less privileged and have refrained from sin; however, these good deeds would not

at ract any benefit to you if you do not possess love.

In the Scriptures, you are warned against indulging in sinfulness and resisting evildoers. If you do not

commit evil but resist an evildoer, you have as wel offended God. You are also enjoined to desist from stealing

and practicing falsehood because if you do these things, you are clearly an evildoer. Furthermore, you are

advised to abhor fornication and adultery for whoever refrains from fornication but continues in adultery is

guilty of sin, and is bound by the law. On the other hand, you would be free from problems if you keep the

law of God.

General y, you have been advised to abhor al manner of sin. You wil be condemned if you continue

in sinfulness even if you have been charitable to the poor. This truth has been implicitly put forward to you in

the first lesson: it is a surprising thing to know that someone could give alms to the poor, yet has no love. The

fact you do not know is that anybody who indulges in unlawful acts such as fraud, and embezzlement, theft

and tribalism, irrespective of his society and status is categorized as one of those who have no love. And such

people are distant from the kingdom. Without doubt, whoever is identified to belong to this group has already

perished.

Page | 82

It is self-deception and ridiculous for anyone to claim that his misfortune is caused by his excessive alms giving. You cannot justify your claim of giving alms to people or being charitable to the destitute when

you do not possess love.

Re-examine the first lesson:

FIRST LESSON: FIRST CORINTHIAN 13:3

And though I bestow al my goods to feed the poor, and thou I give my body to be burned, and have not

charity, it profiteth me nothing.

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF LOVE

Brethren, what does love signify? Love signifies an action carried out cheerful y and wholeheartedly

without condition at ached to it. It is exhibited voluntarily without compulsion or the use of force. Any act

carried out wholeheartedly without expecting an immediate or future praises and glory shows love. In a

situation where somebody approaches you for help and you do not hesitate to help him, and in another

instance, another person comes to you with a similar request, and again, you do not hesitate to offer the

needed help, do you know that this act of generosity does not portray you as someone who has love? This is so

because you only helped them if they did make the request. And such gesture could rightly be said not to have

come from your heart.

Love is a principle that does not require reciprocation, no matter the degree of generosity displayed.

Love has to do with voluntary service. So, any assistance given which is later regret ed is devoid of love, and

such help does not at ract any reward to the giver. Al the conditional services rendered to God in anticipation

for reward are not done with love. Any laborer who works with somebody and demands a wage higher

than his labor does not embody love.

ALWAYS SEEK THE CONSENT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

Many wicked people in the world provide il -at ended financial aids to others, which sooner or later

bring misfortune, and frustration to the recipients. Such help shows plain wickedness and is usual y not

accompanied with any reward. Remember that whatever a man sows, same is what he wil reap. On the other

hand, those who keep seeking financial help from people should be reminded that the Scriptures record and

emphasize that, it is more blessed to give than to receive. So you should be careful of what you do to be

rewarded handsomely by God. I am providing an insight into these hidden facts so that you may be aware of

Page | 83

the implications of contravening them, and to enable you retrace your steps from where you have gone wrong by leading a useful and righteous life.

Do not ut er any word that is not edifying. Let your gifts to anybody be seasoned with love because any

gift that is not accompanied with love is unprofitable to the giver. Also, before receiving anything from

someone, you should first seek approval from the Holy Spirit because the cause of the problems in our lives is

traceable to our refusal to seek the consent of the Holy Spirit before taking any action.

LOVE, YOUR WATCHWORD

It wil be wel with you if you practice love the way and manner it is taught in Brotherhood of the

Cross and Star since love itself is the fulfil ment of the laws. Be informed that whatever business transactions,

journeys, projects and intentions you carry out without love is always unprofitable.

Have you now realized the justification of the fact that, it is more blessed to give than to receive? What

makes you a partaker of the reward and blessings of God is your ability to present a gift that is

accompanied with love. Considering the above teachings, what do you think should be your watchword when

rendering services or presenting gifts to anybody? Your watchword should be love.

If you have and show love, your services and gifts to people wil attract immense blessings to you. This

is so because love is the fulfil ment of the law. And on the other hand, al your deeds that are devoid of love

would always go unrewarded. The possession of love liberates and at racts the bestowal of God's enormous

blessings on you. A lot of people get baffled and confused when they come across the scriptural portion,

which states: "though I bestow my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have

not charity, it profiteth me nothing." Because of the confusion that arises from their inability to understand

this Bible excerpt, they quickly conclude that it is meaningless exhibiting any deed of kindness since

obviously, it at racts no benefit. Beloved, be meticulous in everything you engage, and make sure your

actions are seasoned with love so that you may be blessed accordingly. And by so doing, you would ful y

realize the connotation of love. Re-examine the second lesson:

SECOND LESSON: SECOND TIMOTHY 2:22

Flee youthful lusts: but fol ow righteousness, faith, charity, peace with them that cal on the Lord out of a pure

heart.

Page | 84

THE PATH OF A TRUE WORSHIPER

Brethren, have you re-examined and properly understood the meaning of the lesson? It admonishes

you to flee al youthful lusts, but should fol ow righteousness, faith, charity, peace with them that cal on the

name of the Lord out of a pure heart. On several occasions, it has been revealed to you that anything done

without love is unprofitable. So, let this piece of advice guide you in order that you may not, in the end, regret

in the kingdom. The Scriptures have recorded succinctly:

"But the hour cometh, and now is when the true worshipers shal worship the father in spirit and in truth: for

the father seeketh such to worship him." (John 4:23)

It is for this reason that he should be the source of our pride. Love is the only principle that operates in

the kingdom of God. It is a plain truth that majority of you attend Congregational Fel owships daily yet, you do

not possess love. It should be made clear to you that no matter your efforts, if love is not lavishly found in you,

you wil always remain an empty vessel and you are not worthy of the kingdom of God. That is what the

kingdom stands for.

AVOID SELF-DECEPTION

The questions I am going to put to you are worth $1 mil ion. First, what percentage of people come to

Brotherhood of the Cross and Star with the sole aim of worshiping God? Secondly, what number of people

come into the kingdom two seek prosperity? You should be aware that al the people who go to church merely

to acquire material wealth and other things when they do not have love are just deceiving themselves. Their

at endance and punctuality avails them nothing.

Strongly, the Gospel enjoins you to flee al youthful lusts and affection, which constitute making

diverse requests from God, such as wanting to be a mil ionaire, President, governor and to amass various

mundane things. These mundane desires are classified as youthful lusts. Rather, we are to seek love, peace,

faith, mercy and other virtues that would facilitate our growth in the path of righteousness. Ardently seek

Love, for it is the fulfil ment of the law.

THE TWO DIFFERENT PATHS

To be carnal y minded is vain and unprofitable, but to be spiritual y minded is peace, joy and

righteousness. This is why the Scriptures affirm that: "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after

righteousness: for they shal be fil ed." (Mat hew 5:6)

Page | 85

Whoever seeks the way of righteousness, peace, love, kindness, mercy and truth in the midst of those

who cal the Lord with a pure heart would readily abhor sinfulness since he knows that these virtues lead

someone to the path of God. If these virtues are found in you, certainly, you would have joy and everlasting

life. You are familiar with the saying that, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a

rich man to enter the kingdom of God. The questions that now arise are: what shal it profit a man to own the

whole world and lose his soul in hel ? And how can a rich man be recognized? What is required from him

is total abstinence from al manner of evils if he has to identify himself with God's kingdom. That is why you

are strongly enjoined to flee al youthful lusts, but should embrace peace, humility and love for love is the

fulfil ment of the law. Love does not do evil to its neighbor.

LOVE SUPERSEDES LAW

You are advised to come, imbibe the word of God and but same into practice. This piece of device is most

important because it is through this that you can receive the Holy Spirit. Endeavor to demonstrate love and

mercy to others, for the Scriptures have expressly revealed at JOHN 16:13 that:

Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he wil guide you into al truth: for he shal not speak of

himself; but whatsoever he shal hear, that shal he speak: and he wil shew you things come.

You are therefore admonished to do away with al youthful lusts, but should seek love, knowing ful y

wel that it is the fulfil ment of the laws, and that it does no harm to its neighbor. It is sin to do anything with

annoyance. Always try to receive the message from the horse’s mouth. More so, let al your daily endeavors be

guided by peace, joy and most importantly, love. The absence of love in you renders you empty and void. Most

of you except baptism into Brotherhood of the Cross and Star so as to get money from God, be cured of your

infirmities and be blessed with other mundane possessions. This is unprofitable to you because your

acceptance of membership in the Brotherhood fold was geared by selfish motives. It is basic that you wil have

abundant supply of everything you need if you have love.

THE FLAWS OF MATERIALISM

Evidently, most of you do not express thankfulness to God for what he has done and been doing for you. Also,

you are reluctant to show remorse for your sins. How can blessings come to you when you seek mundane

things and not the virtues of God? You're coming to the kingdom is in order to get glory and wealth from God.

But how can these hopes be fulfil ed when you do not make any efforts to adhere to his injunctions? This

behavior comes directly from your carnal tendencies, which are of no benefit to you. Materialism has never

Page | 86

ever al owed anybody to seek heavenly things. Affirmatively, your quest for materialism cannot al ow you to be spiritual y minded.

There is no venture undertaken which is devoid of love and other virtues of God that can be profitable.

Remember that the patriarch, David had desired to build a house for God, but he was stopped from embarking

on the project because, according to God, his hands were stained with blood. Similarly are some of you who

express eagerness to erect cathedral for God, feed the poor and carry out various projects in the kingdom. Are

you sure that God has given his approval or consent? Why do you neglect love, the divine attribute which

does not think evil against its neighbor and seek after vainglory? Love is the fulfil ment of every law.

Re-examine the Golden text:

GOLDEN TEXT: ROMANS 13:10

Love worketh no il to his neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfil ing of the law.

LOVE: THE CROWNING VIRTUE

Beloved, as long as love is the fulfil ment of the law, and does not do evil to its neighbor, you should fervently

pray that your evil deeds should not be counted against you. If you possess profound love, you would not

engage in fighting, whore-mongering, quarreling, falsehood, stealing and other sinful acts and you would no

longer encounter problems in your ways. In this circumstance, you shal find solace and protection in the

shelter of God's love.

If you have love, you would not wonder from one person to another, seeking help because such

behavior wil bring discomfort and temptation to you. If you have love you wil always be contented with

your position and state in life. Obviously, those who have love do not engage in evil practices, seek praises

from men or show interest in any mundane arrangement. But the reverse is the case: they are contented with

their situation in life. It is for this reason that it is said; love is the fulfil ment of the law.

A clear example of someone who has love is he who gives alms to the needy without at aching strings

or conditions to it, and does not regret his action because he is always led by the Spirit of love.

And consequently, his virtuous acts unfailingly bring to him the immense blessings from God.

Page | 87

THE LESSON ON ALMS-GIVING

The Scriptures succinctly admonish that, whenever you give alms to those in want, you should do so

secretly for God who sees in secret would reward you in secret. The scriptures also advise that we should not

seek to be compensated for any work done for somebody. It is stressed that if you seek reward for anything

done for your fel ow-man, such deed is not done out of love and reflectively you do not have love in you.

The teachings in the new kingdom enjoin you not to blow your trumpet, but should al ow others to

praise you. Take note that whenever you disclose to somebody the assistance you have given to another

person, this wil imply that you are trying to sound your trumpet, and such a person who has benefited from

your benevolence and generosity wil feel deeply depressed, disturbed and ashamed when he hears from other

people what you did for him. By this very act, you wil become a problem to him.

A man who possesses love is al knowledgeable and sensitive to the needs and problems of others; he

does not wait until you request anything from him. He perceives the unmentioned needs of others and

responds accordingly as a way of making life worth living for the needy ones. He expresses his generosity in

spirit and secretly without expecting praises and appreciation. This is the way love works.

THE GREATEST VIRTUE

Whoever has love does not commit sin, and whoever commits sin does not have love. This is in line

with the scriptural notation that love is the fulfil ment of the law, and it hardly perpetuates evil against its

neighbor. Nobody who possesses love ever gets depressed because sadness by itself at racts the attention

of others and disturbs those around him. A man who does not indulge in lamentation, complaints or weeping

but patiently awaits the fulfil ment of the wil of God is he who is sound in love and faith. It is only when

you demonstrate love that you would realize that love itself is the fulfil ment of the law, and more so, does no

evil to its neighbor. Beloved, a stroke of cane is sufficient for the wise. Let he who has an ear hear what the

Holy Spirit has imparted to the whole world. May God bless his holy words. Amen

Thank You Father

FOSTER BROTHERLY LOVE

FIRST LESSON: HEBREWS 13:1

Let brotherly love continue.

SECOND LESSON: 2ND CORINTHIANS 8:10

And in this I give my advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to

be forward a year ago.

GOLDEN TEXT: 1ST THESSALONIANS 4:9

But concerning brotherly love ye need not that I write to you: for ye yourselves are taught by God to love one

another.

LOVE IS ETERNAL

God is love and man is made in his likeness. Man is therefore natural y endowed with the love of God.

Love is as old as the universe. God is teaching us daily what love embodies and how to love. Even little

children love one another without being taught. This is because God’s image in man is love. “For God so loved

the world, that he gave his only-begot en Son, that whoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have

everlasting life.” (John 3:16) Man must therefore borrow a leaf from this magnanimous example of God and

love his fel ow man. Loving one another is so natural and spontaneous that we cannot be taught how to love.

A wife loves her husband and vice versa. The exchange of greetings with neighbors, friends, brothers

and sisters, the invitation we extend to people to at end our parties or take breakfast or supper with us, when

we ask people to come to live with us in our homes are al expressions of love. Love had existed, presently

exist, and wil for eternity exist.

Love is not planted or made by any person. God is love. When people pass away with their visions and

prophecies etc., love, which is God remains supreme and eternal. People regret every murderous act of theirs

because their conscience tel s them it is wrong. Evil is like a lit le mustard seed. Every evil act we commit

seems to be at racting another evil to us. Money is general y termed the root of al evil and its acquisition

makes humans devise various means fair or foul.

People kil to get money, break houses and steal to get money; others cheat to get the money. Al are

sinful acts, which separate us from God. Of what purpose then is the money acquired in the manner

Page | 89

described above if it is to make us run away from God and live in sin? Yes, of course we need money to give our children the best education and training, build houses and have other worldly things described as

property. Why gain the whole world and lose our souls? We must look for God first because he is love. Love,

exist everywhere, and to enable it continue to grow in the hearts of men and women, we preach it. Love is a

big word of testimony to God for he stil loves us and we must learn to love him in return. We admire the

good dress of a person because of love. A person loves himself, his wife, children, friends, workers etc., and

hates sins because we are love. God dwel s in us and we in him and God is love.

Re-examine the First Lesson:

FIRST LESSON: HEBREWS 13:1

Let brotherly love continue.

LET LOVE CONTINUE

Whoever says he has no love deceives himself. Even Lucifer has love. Our tongue is the greatest evil in

us. However few words may be, when they are rudely spoken, they wil arouse the indignation of people, but

love at racts us to people. It is so because love remains within us forever; when al material things shal pass

away.

Lucifer is able to lure us to commit evil and sin when we are devoid of the love of God. He knows

when to lead us astray. It is always in time of great want, when we have no money that is when he shows us

il usionary hospitals, medicines etc. Lucifer’s antics lead us to destruction. A person may have many children

and he wil because he has no money to provide the necessary things for them, be compel ed to look for

money by al means fair or foul. Women in pecuniary embarrassment roam the streets to get little money.

People drink because of the love for it and later on meet with destruction. Those who do not love others are

like those who hide their talents in the ground to rust.

Re-examine the Second Lesson:

SECOND LESSON: 2ND CORINTHIANS 8:10

“And in this I give my advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to

be forward a year ago.”

LOVE IS THE FOUNDATION OF EVERYTHING

The world was founded on love; marriage started with love and so also was friendship. There is love

between parents and children. Since we started with love, let us nurture it so that it might continue to grow.

Let us rescind our decision not to love again and go back and start loving afresh: for if love ceases to exist, life

is taken away.

“Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt hath lost its savor, with what shal it be salted? It is

thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot by men.” (Matthew 5:13) He

who started with love should continue to the end. Who can boldly say that they have never loved? Even lit le

children when they go out to play return home with their lit le friends to show to their parents. This is love

manifested in children.

In the Garden of Eden, angels stayed together because of love. God planted love in us: we must

therefore show this love to people on earth. Continue to love. Love is not like prophecy, dream nor vision it is

the living God and is within us. Christ said that you wil , live in his love as he lives in his father’s.

Re-examine the Golden Text:

GOLDEN TEXT: 1ST THESSALONIANS 4:9

“But concerning brotherly love ye need not that I write to you: for ye yourselves are taught by God to love one

another.”

GOD TEACHES MAN TO LOVE ALWAYS

We can teach people al forms of trade but love cannot be taught. God has already given us love and

love is within us. It is therefore not necessary to teach it. Do to others, as you would wish them to do to you.

God has taught us how to love. The Israelites did not listen to the teachings of God, but instead to the

teachings of people because they had no love, but the Gentiles possess love.

We abandon love through rigid adherence to state laws. If we pursue what we see day in and day out

and pay heed to al that we hear, we wil abandon love. If we take decision about things and persons: from

pieces of advice from people, then we have abandoned love. We have equal y abandoned love if we pay back

evil for evil. If you catch a thief, and cal in a policeman to affect an arrest, then love has been abandon. You

might say that you want to prove yourself a good citizen, but to what extant? When he is arrested, he might

be taken to court and final y jailed. But the Bible says that a true Christian should not take one to court.

Page | 91

Our parents teach us to mingle with people, leading us to commit sin. Teachers equal y teach us how

to commit sins. Al worldly teachings lead us to commit sin. Only God teaches us how to love; this love had

existed before al the material things of the world. God teaches man the perfect knowledge: the knowledge we

acquire of the world on earth and the things therein is imperfect. Al human teachings are directed to the

flesh and are materialistic. God teaches us love and how we must love; only God advises us correctly, which is

why we must learn to take God’s advice.

A stroke of the cane is sufficient unto the wise. Let him who has ears, hear. May the Lord bless his Holy Word.

Amen!

Thank You Father.

LOVE - THE CROWN OF ETERNAL LIFE

FIRST LESSON: 1 TIMOTHY 3: 13- 16 For they that have used the office of a deacon wel purchase to themselves

a good degree, and great boldness in the faith, which is in Christ Jesus. These things write I unto thee, hoping

to come unto thee shortly: But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the

house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pil ar and ground of the truth. And without controversy

great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached

unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

SECOND LESSON: 1 PETER 3: 7 -9 Likewise, ye husbands, dwel with them according to knowledge, giving

honor unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers

be not hindered. Final y, be ye al of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful,

be courteous: Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are

thereunto cal ed, that ye should inherit a blessing.

GOLDEN TEXT: 1 CORNITHIANS 13: 3 - 8 And though I bestow al my goods to feed the poor, and though I give

my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity

envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own,

is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth al things,

believeth al things, hopeth al things, endureth al things. Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shal fail; whether there be tongues, they shal cease; whether there be knowledge, it shal

vanish away.

INTRODUCTORY SPIRITUAL CHORUSES:

"What would I do in order to cross the sea, if you want to cross the sea love every one if you want to cross the sea."

"Love God that you may have life love Jesus that you may have life."

THE PROGRAMS IN YOUR LIFE

Brethren, the above texts and choruses summarize this Gospel.

Re-examine the first lesson:

Page | 93

FIRST LESSON: 1 TIMOTHY 3: 13 - 16

"For they that have used the office of a deacon wel purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness

in the faith, which is in Christ Jesus. These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly: But if I

tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church

of the living God, the pil ar and ground of the truth. And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:

God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in

the world, received up into glory."

Frankly speaking what are your programs in life? The probable contents of your programs in life include

marriage life, possession of cars, children, knowledge, educational achievement, power, good heath, beauty and

good food; such is the outlay of your program.

AN ILLUSTRATION ON THE VANITY IN LIFE

There once lived a man who owns a portion of land. The man hired workers to clear that portion of land

and cut down some trees in the process. The man after that initial work, promised to hire more men to hewn

the big trees. As the man and his laborers departed that day, the trees lamented over the situation on their fate

and decide to consult death for assistance. On their arrival at the residence of death, they narrated the story to

him and sought for his immediate assistance. Their host, death, asked the trees whether the man had mentioned

his name in the course of their discussion on that land. They al said he did not. Death told the trees that if the

man had promised to return to the land to work the fol owing day if he, death, would permit, he would have

consented to the man’s plans. But that in so far as the man had not sought his (death’s) consent, the trees should

not be bothered. He told them to go home assuring them of his protection. That night, just before dawn, the man

passed on.

BOAST ONLY IN LOVE

That is the error I have come to correct: the whole world of men and women that take pride in money,

educational at ainment, power, children, beauty, social status, and the rest of the mundane things. Who has his

pride in love? Your ambition is to give your child sound education up to the university level. What does such a

child do after the university education other than cheat, oppress people, and amass wealth for himself? The first

motive for going to school, whether for the parents or children, is to fulfil selfish ambitions. Nobody has love

as one of the contents of his program in life. Women derive their pride in get ing married to a handsome and

rich man, having beautiful and intel igent children and so on. The question is, do they possess love? Men boast

of their academic achievement and of their being Governor, President or other political and economic

at ainments. Do any of them have love?

Page | 94

Is there any whose ambition is to love one another? I chal enge, that if there exists such a person, the one should come over for a price. The downfal of the world I have here highlighted. No man takes love seriously. Whether it is the Government, the church or couples, none has love as an item in their programs. This

explains the source of the problems plaguing the whole world.

THE PASSPORT INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD

Brethren, you have overlooked a lot of things. The scripture has told us that it was the woman that was

deceived by the serpent not the man. A promise was, however, made that the woman would be saved through

childbirth. Moreover, both have to abide in peace, love, goodness, faith and reverence to God. Whether you

have forty children, and al of them are university graduates and wel placed in society is immaterial in the

Kingdom of God. Even if you should beget Jesus Christ as Mary did, it wil avail you nothing if you are without

charity. Even though your pre-occupation is God, you wil gain nothing if you are devoid of love. Love therefore

is the passport into the Kingdom of God. From now henceforth, let love be the only item on your agenda and

content of your program. Seek after love, righteousness, humility, truthfulness, mercy, goodness, meekness and

al the virtues. That is our duty. Refrain from the quest for material things, for they are unprofitable. A woman’s

first ambition is to secure a good husband that is wel read, handsome and wel to do. What do they achieve

from such qualities?

Your beauty affords you nothing. Others feel so satisfied by get ing beautiful and handsome children

who are intel igent. However beautiful your wife may be, and however beautiful and intel igent your children

may be, both afford you nothing. God would not save you because of your handsome and rich husband,

beautiful wife, intel igent children, academic at ainment, or the wealth that you have amassed. What wil bring

you salvation is love, faith, abiding in peace with one another, joy, mercy and al the virtues. Whether this

Gospel pleases you or not it is immaterial to me. I have brought you the truth and eternal life. Men are so corrupt

and moral y bankrupt.

MARRIAGE IS HONOURABLE

Hebrews 13: 4 "Marriage is honorable in al , and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God wil

judge."

If there is any man, who is moral y upright as concerning fornication and adultery, let such a person

come up for a handsome reward. That you are a professor, governor, president or scientist avails you nothing

in so far as you remain a fornicator. Such a person has no life in him. There is nothing to enjoy in that act. Yet

it is the same sin God enjoined Adam and Eve never to indulge in.

Page | 95

Women have not fared bet er. The women wil deliberately clad themselves in very short and tight skirts and blouses with their painted lips, finger nails, eye lids, cheeks and to crown it al with a hairdo that wil send

many immoral men aroused. Fornication is the order of the day now. Men and women think that they are

enjoying life. But I tel you; you are enjoying death. That is the source of the problems in the world. Men have

since lost the fear of God. Many couples al over the land are at daggers drawn. What can such people obtain

from God? There is no matrimonial home that is in peace. People in high places, judges, governors, presidents,

and others are al moral y bankrupt. There is no family today that breathes an air of peace and joy in their

matrimony. Yesterday, women were known to be humble. What about men? Are they humble? They are

running al over the place chasing after women.

TAKE A CUE FROM CHRIST

Do you think that there were no women, or beautiful ones for that mat er during the time of John the

Baptist, and Our Lord Jesus Christ? Or do you think they were not handsome? When Adam had got en three

children, he ran to the housetop to free himself from the bondage of intimacy with his wife. It was there that

the evil one cal ed Adam, but he, knowing his voice, refused to answer. When God final y cal ed Adam and

asked what he was doing at his housetop, he told Him that he was fed up with having carnal knowledge of Eve.

God blamed Adam for not disclosing his plight to Him for necessary action. Adam immediately indicated his

pleasure to have the urge removed off him. The urge is an evil instinct that overwhelms your body. From the

time that urge was removed from Adam and Eve they both lived together and in peace and joy for nine hundred

and thirty years.

THE ROOT OF DISRESPECT

It is now common for a man to tel his wife he is going for a meeting or travel ing to a certain place to

do business only to end up in a woman’s house next door. Women too are culprits. They easily use their matrimonial homes as springboard for reaching out to other men. The family is thus turned into a bat leground.

Men have lost their respect and manhood to little girls. If you observe how very lit le girls would talk to and

abuse able bodied and wel placed men you would not fail to weep. Men have mortgaged their peace and good

things from God. The children today are worse off as direct sufferers from the corrupt nature of their parents.

The iniquities of the parents are visited on the children. So says the scripture. Many have resorted to drinking,

smoking, snuffing and other recreational activities for peace yet to no avail. The only source of peace, joy

prosperity and al the good things is obedience unto God.

Page | 96

FIRST WITNESS: ROMANS 1: 22 - 32.

"Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an

image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God

also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between

themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the

Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their

women did change the natural use into that, which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the

natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that, which is

unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error, which was meet. And even as they did

not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things, which

are not convenient; Being fil ed with al unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness;

ful of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters,

inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural

affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they, which commit such things are

worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them."

THE GUILT OF THE WORLD

The beautiful and the ugly, the high and the low, the black and the white, the young and the old, are al

knee deep in the very act and are guilty of it. This explains why the scriptures say we are conceived in iniquity

and born of sin. The children are the products and extension of their parents. Our Lord Jesus Christ saw al the

women, very beautiful ones, but held His head above them. He learnt from the past. This is why the first fool is

a proper fool but the second is a bloody fool.

THE INIQUITIES OF THE PARENTS ARE VISITED ON THE CHILDREN

Adam found himself in the tango when he requested for a companion. Their companionship ended in

adultery, the source of our miseries and woes, and theirs too. Christ would not have been so foolish as to fal

into the same trap again. It is for that reason Christ sought for no wife, or companion. Today He is the King of

kings, and Lord of lords and the ruler of Heaven and Earth. I bet you whether there is any family today that has

peace. There are accusations and counter-accusation of extra- marital engagements by couples. Parents are apt

to complain how stubborn and disobedient their children are. I chal enge you parents, are you any less stubborn

or disobedient? There is no way an evil man wil bring forth a good person. It is just natural that you wil bring

forth your replica. It is the iniquities of the parents that are visited on the children.

Page | 97

Re-examine the second lesson.

SECOND LESSON: 1 PETER 3: 7- 8

"Likewise, ye husbands, dwel with them according to knowledge, giving honor unto the wife, as unto the

weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered. Final y, be ye

al of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: Not rendering evil

for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto cal ed, that ye should

inherit a blessing."

CHRIST IS GOD’S TRUE SON

There is no man or woman who has obtained God’s blessing. People are busy searching for God but have

not and cannot see Him. Christ alone emerged as the true Son of God, others were bastards. Fornication is second

to none in sin. The moment you defile your body you lose your right of son ship and membership in the Kingdom

of God. Whatever men would do to obtain peace and joy outside being obedient to God is nul and void and of

no moment. Once you are disobedient and have defiled yourself, even if you surround yourself with the best

bodyguards, physicians, cooks and live inside a rock, you remain so defenseless and insecure as a worm. At that

moment, the spirit of God departs from you. Men and women were supposed to be brothers and sisters (having

only platonic relationship) It is not as if God would not have increased the population of this world without the

exercise of mating between man and woman.

Our Lord Jesus Christ was conceived without Joseph having carnal knowledge of Mary. One of our

sisters from Zaire was delivered of a baby boy she conceived through the Holy Spirit. Joseph was not the biological father of Jesus after al God knows that reproduction via mating is crooked and ungodly.

THOSE WORTHY OF GOD’S KINGDOM

Anyone involved in that very act is defiled and good for nothing; he is in fact dead alive. Take our second

witness from Luke 20: 35 -37.

SECOND WITNESS LUKE 20:35-37

"But they, which shal be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither

marry, nor are given in marriage: Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are

the children of God, being the children of the resurrection. Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed

at the bush, when he cal eth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." You are

only privileged to hear the above promises, but cannot be beneficiaries of them.

Page | 98

SPIRITUAL CHORUS: "I am not the God of the dead, I am God of the living".

Those that shal be accounted worthy to inherit the earth and the Kingdom of God neither marry nor

are they given in marriage. The ones that have defiled themselves have no share in the Kingdom of God. It is

possible to deceive a man BUT not God; whatever a man sows the same shal he reap. The day Adam and Eve

offended God through fornication they were promptly expel ed from the Garden of Eden. Women had since

lost credibility before God. They have equal y lost their respect and regard before men and God. It is not uncommon, behind the scene, for a Governor to go on his knees for a lit le girl. Men have lost the moral courage

to hold their heads high. Al is nul ity.

YE ALL ARE BRETHREN

Your husband or wife is your brother and sister. Live as blood brethren in peace, love and equality. Your

prayers are unanswered because of your iniquities. No man is bigger, bet er or more important than a woman.

We are al one. Whatever you have is your wife’s or husband’s. Anyone who discriminates against his wife and

treats her unfairly and unevenly wil obtain nothing from God. Girls these days are said to be wayward, insolent

and corrupt. I ask who is responsible? Are not men the culprits? Is it not pathetic to observe elderly men, some

of them judges, professors, directors etc., lure lit le girls with material things to sleep with them? And you think

God wil quickly brush over the issue. Re-examine the golden text.

GOLDEN TEXT: 1 CORNITHIANS 13: 3 - 8

"And though I bestow al my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not

charity, it profiteth me nothing. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not

itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh

no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth al things, believeth al things, hopeth al

things, endureth al things. Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shal fail; whether there

be tongues, they shal cease; whether there be knowledge, it shal vanish away."

FORNICATION CREATES A BRIDGE BETWEEN MAN AND GOD

Most girls are today defiled by men old enough to be their grandfathers and that is a grievous offence.

Every man should control himself not leaving himself to passion. Or were Our Lord Jesus Christ and John the

Baptist not men? There is confusion, poverty and great suffering upon men arising from their corrupt

tendencies. Anyone who commits fornication or adultery is deserted by God. The Kingdom of God is for those

who love and obey Him. It is not for liars, fornicators, or adulterers or the disobedient.

Page | 99

Read our third witness from Revelation 14: 3 -5

REVELATION 14: 3 -5

"And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man

could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. These

are they, which were not defiled with women for they are virgins. These are they, which fol ow the Lamb

whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the first fruits unto God and to the Lamb.

And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God." Who has the above

qualification?

Take our fourth witness from 1 Corinthians 7: 29 - 35.

1 CORINTHIANS 7: 29 - 35

"But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none; And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they

that buy, as though they possessed not; And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this

world passeth away. But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that

belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord: But he that is married careth for the things that are of the

world, how he may please his wife. There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman

careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth

for the things of the world, how she may please her husband. And this I speak for your own profit; not that I

may cast a snare upon you, but for that, which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without

distraction."

Brethren, a stroke of cane is sufficient unto the wise. He, who has ears, let him hear. May God bless His Holy

Words. Amen.

Thank You Father

THE NEED TO CONTINUE IN LOVE

Beloved you al constitute barriers to this truth by refusing to hear, practice, and disseminate this truth

to the world.

Read John 15:12

“This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.”

What is the meaning of the above portion? The portion enjoins that we should love one another as God

loves us, but is there anybody who practices this injunction? Al the blessings God has given to you, should be

given to others by you. That is to say if God has giving you good protection, wisdom, and has washed your

feet, you must also extend the same gesture to others. It is only when you do this that you become an obedient

child of God. God does not impute sins on you, therefore you must not impute sins on others. God never gets

exasperated, you must not be exasperated. It should be noted that this gospel does not only constitute in your

preaching to people but you must also practice the injunctions. As a way of showing the magnitude of his

love, God is merciful, tolerant, patient, and enduring. He wants you to therefore go out and extend similar

virtues to others so that it might be known the world over that you belong to him, and you also resemble him.

Read Luke 10:21-35

“In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast

hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it

seemed good in thy sight. Al things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is,

but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son wil reveal him. And he turned

him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see: For I tel you,

that many prophets and kings 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. And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and

tempted him, saying, Master, what shal I do to inherit eternal life? He said unto him, What is writ en in the

law? how readest thou? And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with al thy heart, and with

al thy soul, and with al thy strength, and with al thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. And he said unto

him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. But he, wil ing to justify himself, said unto Jesus,

And who is my neighbour? And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho,

and fel among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half

dead. And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the

other side. And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the

other side. But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had

Page | 101

compassion on him, And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. And on the morrow when he departed, he took

out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest

more, when I come again, I wil repay thee.”

WE ARE ALL DEBTORS

To "love one another as God loves you" means that you are duty-bound to extend God's love for you to

your fel ow man. Outside this, you are an infidel. Besides, whoever refuses to keep to the above injunction has

no defense whatsoever. Such a person is already dead. You keep recounting. That is not al : it is obligatory that

you go to others and express same to them. You have to make another person feel and see your excel ence.

Extend God's goodness to al your fel ow men or you have no share in God's kingdom. We are al debtors, and

since it has been said that we should eat no man's food for nought, we can only defray our indebtedness by

serving humanity in the same manner God has served us.

THE NEED TO RECIPROCATE GOD'S GOOD GESTURES

Irrespective of how you have revealed God's glory to the entire world by testifying of his goodness

towards you, if you do not express same goodness to your fel ow men, it avails you nothing. If God is so kind,

merciful, and Noble towards you, yet you refuse to express same towards people, what do you think would

become of you? Or do you think you can cheat God?

Read Mat hew 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."

For your problem to be solved, and your affairs streamlined, you have to emulate the father strictly by

extending to everyman al the gestures he has hitherto been expressing to you. Failure to do this, means you

have yourself to blame for anything that would happen because of you. If God gives you one dol ar today, that

money does not belong to your purse, rather, it constitutes a capital which God has given you to establish a

lucrative business venture for him. And how do you establish this venture? This you can do only in expressing

similar gesture to your fel ow man. Similarly, if he gives you two children, he would require additional two

from you, totaling four.

Read Mat hew 20:22-end

“But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shal drink of,

and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able. And he saith

Page | 102

unto them, Ye shal drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shal be given to them for whom it is prepared

of my Father. And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against the two brethren. But

Jesus cal ed them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them,

and they that are great exercise authority upon them. But it shal not be so among you: but whosoever wil be

great among you, let him be your minister; And whosoever wil be chief among you, let him be your servant:

Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude fol owed him. And, behold, two blind men sitting by the

way side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of

David. And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their peace: but they cried the more,

saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David. And Jesus stood stil , and cal ed them, and said, What

wil ye that I shal do unto you? They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened. So Jesus had

compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they fol owed

him.”

Beloved, everything that God has done for you, must be reciprocated by you expressing the same to

your fel ow man. Have I ever imputed sins on anybody? I have not. Therefore whoever indulges in any of

these acts or refuses to love others as God loves him has made himself a debtor, and such debt must be

defrayed or you are wasting your time in this kingdom.

Read Luke 12:42–49

“And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shal make ruler over his

household, to give them their portion of meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he

cometh shal find so doing. Of a truth I say unto you, that he wil make him ruler over al that he hath. But

and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shal begin to beat the menservants and

maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; The lord of that servant wil come in a day when he looketh

not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and wil cut him in sunder, and wil appoint him his

portion with the unbelievers. And that servant, which knew his lord's wil , and prepared not himself, neither

did according to his wil , shal be beaten with many stripes. But he that knew not, and did commit things

worthy of stripes, shal be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shal be much

required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they wil ask the more. I am come to send fire on

the earth; and what wil I, if it be already kindled?”

Page | 103

THE WAY OF LIFE

Beloved, the principle is that to whom God gives much is also required of him, and whoever fails to

give out such gifts wisely stands to answer questions from God. God is not a joker as you might think, but we

are the real jokers. This lecture constitutes the way of life, therefore, if you desire to live a life it is imperative that you abide strictly by these teachings.

Read John 15:9-15:

“As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. If ye keep my commandments, ye

shal abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. These things

have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be ful . This is my

commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this that a man

lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I cal you

not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have cal ed you friends; for al things that

I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.”

THE ALL SUFFICIENT GOD

Beloved, it is a standing order that whoever is loved by God should reciprocate the same. Similarly, you

have to love those that love you the more and serve those who serve you the more, otherwise, you would ever

remain a debtor. Is God's love and blessing not sufficient unto us or is there anyone who cannot emulate his

blessings one by one? You are a debtor for not reciprocating God’s gesture to your fel ow men. Seek therefore

to defray this debt by loving your neighbors as God loves you. God does not reap from where he did not sow,

nor does he take from where he did not gather. Similar teachings has he brought to us and same must we

practice in order to be free and successful.

Read Mat hew 7:12:

“Therefore al things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the

law and the prophets.”

You would now realize why you are said to be debtors.

Read Romans 8:9–17

“But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwel in you. Now if any man have

not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwel in you, he that

raised up Christ from the dead shal also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwel eth in you.

Page | 104

Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shal die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shal live. For as many as are led by the

Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have

received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit,

that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be

that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.”

It does not end with worshiping and thanking God for his gesture towards you, you must express same

gesture to others so that testimonies similar to yours may be found in the mouths of other people around you.

Read John 15:18 – end

“If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. 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. Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have

persecuted me, they wil also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they wil keep yours also. But al

these things wil they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me. If I had not

come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin. He that hateth me

hateth my Father also. 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. But this cometh to pass, that the word

might be fulfil ed that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause. But when the Comforter is come,

whom I wil send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he

shal testify of me: And ye also shal bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.”

AVOIDING THE DOOMSDAY

1ST BIBLE LESSON: JOHN 15:9

As the father hath loved me, so have I loved you, continue ye in my love.

2ND BIBLE LESSON: 1 CORINTHIANS 13:2

And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand al mysteries and al knowledge, and though I have al

faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

GOLDEN TEXT: MATTHEW 7:22-23

Many wil say to me in that day, "Lord, have we not prophesied in your name, cast out demons in your name,

and done many wonders in your name? And then I wil declare to them, "I never knew you; depart from me,

you who practice lawlessness.

Visioners should listen to the word of God. As a visioner you think vision is life and a proof of God's

love. Visioners, during feast, feel they should sit down while others serve them. They also boast that they were

born with God in them. There is no visioner who strives to be righteous and practice love for one another.

Visions are his al in al . If you argue with him about his visions, he cal s you a blind man. Most of the

problems caused in the brotherhood world and indeed the entire world are caused by visioners.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR BROTHERHOOD?

You who profess to be a visioner have you heard what the Bible says? Others pray God to open their

eyes so that they can do his work. When God gives you the power to see visions, are you saved? Have you

entered into the kingdom? You complain about al the things you have done in brotherhood. What have you

done? What do you have that you did not receive? If you received what you now have, what do you boast as

though you did not receive it? Preaching the word of God cannot admit you into the kingdom. Prophesying

and praying to the extent of raising the dead cannot take you into the kingdom. If you have faith such that

you can move this city from here to Logos, you cannot even enter. If you bestow al your wealth to feed the

poor on the street, that wil not admit you into the kingdom.

QUALIFICATIONS FOR ENTRY

What can admit one into the kingdom of God? It is love alone whether you are a wonderful dreamer

or ignorant of everything once you have love, that is the kingdom of God. Whether you understand the Efik

language or you are literate is immaterial once you possess love you are in the kingdom of heaven.

Brethren, there is no other thing apart from love. Whether this hal is ful or empty, you do not enter

the kingdom of God with ful or empty house. If in your family, you are the only one at ending brotherhood,

Page | 106

or if al members of the family are at ending brotherhood this alone does not qualify you to enter the kingdom of God. Once you possess love, you have entered into the kingdom of God. If you get baptized but your wife

and children refuse to be baptized that does not qualify you for admission into the kingdom of God. Once you

have love, you can enter. You do not enter with money or with any person. It is love alone that is the

prerequisite for entry. Whether you have a child or not, whether or not you have a husband, whether you are

a virgin or not, none of these is the condition for entry. It is only love that qualifies you.

LOVE ENDURES FOREVER BEING THE VIRTUE OF THE TRINITY

People confess that they have violated the Ten Commandments. God is not ten. There is only one God.

The Ten Commandments symbolize the ten horns, the Ten Kings. But God the king whom we now talk about

has one law and that is love. We have no difficulty in this kingdom because it is founded on love. It is founded

neither on food, clothing, nor wealth. Whether you are blind or lame, deaf or dumb, you do not depend on

any of these conditions for entry into the kingdom. It is only when you possess love that you are sure to enter.

God himself is love. Our Lord Jesus Christ is love. The Holy Spirit is love. The word of God demands that

standard from us. We must al possess love. Al things shal pass away but love shal abide forever.

You pray God to give you faith, to open your eyes, and to give you power. If you have al these talents

but have no love, what is the use? Did Napoleon not have power? Did pharaoh not have power? Had Herod

no power? Did David not have power? Did Sampson not have power? Did they enter God's kingdom? It is

only the possession of love that takes one into the kingdom of God. When you have love, love is the fulfil ment

of the law. Love is not wrathful. Love does not quarrel. Love does not seek his own. Love is long-suffering.

Love believes al things and hopes for al things. Weather there be prophecies, they shal fail. Weather there be

tongues, they shal cease. Whether there be knowledge, they shal vanish away. But love endures forever. You

are seeking for eternal life; knowledge does not give eternal life. Faith has no life to offer. Al other things have notice only love endures forever. Those who shal have eternal life are those who possess love. Because every

other thing shal pass away but love alone shal abide forever.

If visioners were to know the demands of this kingdom, they would be humble, and would show the

expression of love. If preaches should know this they would be loving and humble. If those who offer

wonderful prayers were to know this, they would show the expression of love. Nothing else except love is

permanent.

From time immemorial many people stil boast that they give visions do the work of God yet they do

not possess love, neither can truth be found in them. They have no humility, they stil fornicate what sort of

spirit is that?

LOVE OVERCOMES EVERYTHING

Support your claim with a Bible quotation that a visioner wil enter the kingdom of God if he does not

have love. Also confirm the claim that a rich man wil enter into the kingdom of God for giving his money to

Page | 107

every poor man but has no love. Make reference to the Bible portion to show that a sensational preacher wil enter into the kingdom of God if he does not possess love.

Brethren, can you realize the true position of things? Every day you puff up that you have been in

brotherhood for 20 years, that you opened several Bethel's and that you have done many things but God has

not rewarded you. You confess that you keep suffering at the "station" without any person caring, who is

going to care for you? It is because I possess the love that I operate without problems. But you are opening a

prayer house, col ecting cows from people, eloping with men and women. You col ect money from somebody

and buy a car or build a story building. I know that these riches cannot take you into the kingdom of God.

Our Lord Jesus Christ had said it publicly that no rich person wil enter into the kingdom of God. He

has told you that, whoever does not hate his father and mother, wife and husband, brother and sister, and his

life, cannot also be his disciple. Also, whoever does not take up his cross and fol ow after him cannot be his

disciple. He added to this when he said that we should not labor for food that parishes but for food which

endures unto eternal life which the son of man shal give unto us.

IF GOD BE WITH YOU WHO CAN FIGHT AGAINST YOU?

You came here to seek for money, wife, husband, houses, cars, rights, respect, honor and al . It is for

love that we are invited so that we can show the expression of love because he himself is love. If this election

where to be clear to the inhabitants of the world or even a selected few no person would have had any

troubled mind. If you take God unto yourself you have conquered. God is only one but has he ever complained

to you that he is lonely? In the same token, whoever abides in God is not lonely. You are a true witness to the

fact that whenever we have to preach, we preach that which we have. We neither seek after money people,

wisdom nor food. It is only love that we want, that love is with us. In that case, the love is more than sufficient

unto us. What then do you request for? It is only for you to give thanks to the father and rejoice, and abide in

this love. The moment you begin to brag, you have departed from that love.

LOVE IS GOD

Many people do not know how sin came into the world. When you seek after mundane things, you

have departed from love. If Adam and Eve had kept the instruction to eat of al the fruits in the garden except

one, there would have been no problem. Whenever God keeps you at a place just as we are here at 34 Ambo,

if you are satisfied at that place without longing for 26 Mbukpa or any other place, you wil have no problems

at al . Who is it that is omnipresent? It is love. The moment you abide in love, you wil realize that he is

everywhere. In him, you wil find wealth, peace and every good thing. When you possess love, you are in

Europe and America. In heaven and on earth, on the mountains and in the sea, you are everywhere and there

is virtual y no place you cannot be found. Love is also omniscient. He is al wise, the moment you have love,

you are an embodiment of everything. Love is equal y omnipotent. He is al powerful. Love is God's

embodiment. The moment you possess him, you have al things. It is on this basis that our Lord Jesus Christ

Page | 108

gives you and I the commandment to love one another as the al -embracing commandment.

Let man take the whole world and give me love. Be content with love. Do not be shaken by anything.

The moment you possess love, you are satisfied. Whenever you are joyous and peaceful, you are satisfied.

When you possess love, you wil require no worldly thing. Nothing carnal wil catch your fancy. Brethren, I

do not intend to overload you, let our first lesson be read.

1ST BIBLE LESSON: JOHN 15:9

As the father hath loved me, so have I loved you continue ye in my love.

This is the nature of love, which our Lord Jesus Christ meant when he said, "love ye one another even as I have

loved you." Love is like a link connecting two parts of the chain, whenever I love you. You have to reciprocate.

While the one person reciprocates the other would love another and love should continue in that circle of

mutual reciprocity. If you love someone and he does not love you, it means that there is a break in the link.

LOVE IS THE PARADISE

That is the problem that people are facing in this kingdom. If you do not possess love, you are

separated from God and you serve no useful purpose. It emphasizes the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, which

say, "Abide in me and I wil also abide in you." If a man abides not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered, and men gather them and cast them into the fire, and they are burned." We fal sick because we no

longer have that love. For this reason, you are off from this kingdom. The paradise you hear of is love. You and

the father are closely linked. You have no problems but you are with the father always. Good health, beauty

and al good things come from him. Wherever you are, you are one with him.

This explains why our Lord Jesus Christ always said, "I and my father are one." If you have love, you are one with the father, son and Holy Spirit.

LOVE IS LIFE ETERNAL

He is now come as the true God, the father, son and the Holy Spirit. If you have love, the father, son,

and the Holy Spirit wil abide in you. The father, the son and the Holy Spirit are one in the Godhead. Whoever

does not possess love, has been eluded by everything. Love has come to reign in heaven, on earth, and in the

water, even in water beneath the earth. His reign has neither beginning nor end. He has come to reign

forever. It does not cal for pleading with somebody to have love, love had already existed and it has assumed

ruler ship in al planes of manifest. Love is not such that one can say, lo there or lo here, love is within us. No

person can teach you to possess love. No person can point to you what love is. Vision cannot see love. Faith is

not the same as love. Wisdom does not perceive love. This is so because love is the beginning and the end of

everything. Love is eternal life it is the kingdom of God.

Page | 109

YOU CAN ONLY REACH YOUR GOAL WITH LOVE

Know that whatever you do, if you do not have love, al is in vain. You rejoiced that God has given you

life if you have no love that life is in vain. You rejoice in the good health God has given to you, but if you do

not have love your good health amounts to nothing. You rejoice in the money and good houses God has given

you, but if you have no love, your money and houses do not avail you anything. You rejoice in the wisdom

God has given to you, but if you do not have love, your wisdom is useless. You rejoice because God has

revealed marvelous things to you, but if you do not have love, they al mean nothing. "As the father hath loved

me, so have I loved you, continue ye in my love."

If we have love, we wil not curse anyone. If we have love, we wil not receive money for preaching the

word of God. With love, you wil not col ect money for visions you give, you wil not pray for money, you wil

not go about begging people for money, or stealing peoples property, or lying to one another, you wil not be

envious or jealous of any person, you wil not covert any of the worldly things. If you were to have the love of

God in you, nothing would appeal to you. You wil always abide in God's paradise. You wil abide in the father

as wel as the Holy Spirit. You wil thus, abide in love, and have no troubled heart. You wil as wel enjoy

eternal peace and life. The songs we sing do not give one peace. The food we eat gives nothing to man. When

you possess this love, you wil have peace and everything you desire.

LOVE IS INNOCENT

Who can tel me about the kind of house Adam and Eve lived when they were in the Garden of Eden?

Who can tel me the sort of bed, chairs, and other pieces of furniture that they used? A critical examination

wil reveal to you that such things as you Long, for are immaterial.

The moment you possess love, you are not only up to date but also complete. You wil not feel hungry.

You wil not thirst. There wil be no anger and you wil not be encumbered with problems neither wil you

have any troubled mind. When you have love, you know no day or night, hour or day, season or year. You are

like a newly born baby who knows no evil. Love wil overshadow you.

WHOEVER DWELLS IN LOVE DWELLS IN GOD

If we do not possess love, al our works are in vain. When many people went to read the Bible lesson,

they do so with pride. Some do so in a bid to display their fluency in English language. Love is not boastful.

Love is neither arrogant nor proud, nor pompous. When you possess love, you wil no longer puff up. The day

you have love, you wil no longer weep. You wil be free because you wil be with God. You know and believe

the love, which God has for us. God is love. Whoever possesses love abides in God and God in him. If

somebody invites you to the mountain to see God, do not go. If somebody invites you to America to see God, do

not go. If you are told to go to Biakpan that God resides there, do not go. The moment you possess love, you

live in him and he lives in you. That is why our Lord Jesus Christ said, "I dwel in the father and the father

lives in me. When you see me, you have seen the father." Can you now realize the love our Lord Jesus Christ

Page | 110

had for us as he said, "As the father hath loved me, so have I loved you continue ye in my love?" If we should continue in love we would not struggle to offer prayers here. There would be no pomposity in us and we

would not claim superiority to others. We would not disgrace one another, or look at others disdainful y, or

glory in our positions.

The Scripture says, "But whosoever hath this world's good and seeth his brother have need and

shut eth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwel eth the love of God in him?" Our Lord Jesus Christ

says, "al that belongs to my father are mine, and al that I have belong to the father; I and my father are one."

LOVE GIVES OUT FREELY

Visions should be released free. Prayers should be offered free. Gospels, holy oil, testimonies, money,

and al what we possess should be giving out free of charge, for the service of others who are in need, for the

upliftment of the glory of God. Also, you should be ready to offer free services to any person. There should be

no distinction between an adult and an infant, male or female, freeborn or slave. Each person should help the

other within his abilities. That is the duty of love. Do not al ow yourself to be misled by any person or your

thought that there is any other city that has been prepared as the city of God. The city of God is love, which is

God. There is no other white garment you can put on apart from love. When you put on love, it means life has

swal owed up death; death and other things wil disappear. In this state of love, there wil be no division, sin,

sickness or death. It does appear that right now you are boasting in vain or inanimate things.

You labor for the food that wil parish. Knowledge shal vanish. Tongues shal cease. Prophecies shal fail. But

love abides forever.

LOVE DOSE NOT RESIST EVILDOERS

Why have you been in brotherhood for years but up til today you have not seen brotherhood? Why al

the inhabitants of the world fail to see brotherhood is that if one does not have love, one can neither see nor

no brotherhood. Right now, if you go into the water, you find brotherhood. At the mountains, the sun,

brotherhood is there. Wherever you go, you find brotherhood because brotherhood is love. Love is the father,

son, and Holy Spirit. Do not joke or toy again with love. Put on love as a garment. That is why our Lord Jesus

Christ has taught us, "whatsoever shal smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if any

man wil sue thee to law, in order to take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also. And whoever shal

compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. By this, you wil continue in this love." I do not see what you can give in exchange for your life if you depart from love. That marks the end of your existence. What shal it

profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeit his soul? When you depart from love, it means you have

lost your life. This is the time to make everything anew. Only those who possess love shal inherit the new

earth.

It is for this reason that it is said, God is not slack in fulfil ing his promise but he has long-suffering

towards us since he does not wish that any should perish but that we should repent. People boast that they

Page | 111

have been ordained as prophets I can ordain any person as prophet yet he wil not enter. I can ordain you, your wife, your father and your mother, but now that you do not have love, let me see how you wil enter the

kingdom of God. If you choose to sit on my chair, you can do so but if you do not possess love, you wil not

enter. You want to sit with the leader come, let us sit side-by-side and converse, but if you do not possess love,

you wil not enter. You want to see the leader? Here is the leader. If you do not possess love, how are you

going to enter?

Brethren, the time of foolishness has passed. You should al wake up and do that which is expected of

you. Let us possess love. Do not boast because you can compose songs. You puff up because of the part you

play. You boast because you are a chairman in a fel owship. You puff up because you are a Christ servant, or

Deaconess, or that you have money or give visions. What informs your pomposity?

2ND BIBLE LESSON: 1 CORINTHIANS 13:2

And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand al mysteries, and knowledge; and though I have al

faith so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

You who boast in visions, wisdom and power, are you aware of this excerpt? Realize that no mat er

what you do, if you do not possess love, it profits you nothing.

COMMON PURSE

God is neither an enemy nor death. He has come to gather al creation into one fold and to rule over

them. He rules with love. He does everything with love. He unites the whole world with love unto himself. He

neither requires any wisdom, power nor craftiness. He does not require anything other than love. Love me

and I love you. Do not impute sin to me and I wil not impute sin to you. Do not commit sin against any

person. Do not hate any person. Do not begrudge any person. Do not pronounce woe unto any person. Love

al and you wil fulfil the law. If you have a dol ar we share it together. If you dream we share the dream

together. We sing and dance together. If there is no food, we share in hunger. Your lack is my lack. My wealth

is yours. My joy is your joy. My ugliness is your ugliness. My tribulation is your tribulation. We have to share

everything in common.

If you parish, your blood is upon your head. Go and tel the world that it is not the wealthy people who

wil inherit this kingdom, neither the wise nor the strong. It is only those who have love that wil inherit this

kingdom. Vision is not an evil thing. Faith and the rest of the virtues are not evil. But if you have these things,

add love to them otherwise it wil avail you nothing. Love is like salt, if there is no salt in food, you cannot eat

it. If you boast in your power of healing the sick, you speak and the thing comes to pass, realize that you are

empty if you possess no love. Some people boast that they speak and it rains, they speak and the sick is healed.

These cannot save you if you have not love. God says that whatever you ask in his name, he wil do it. When

you ask something in his name and he does it, it does not imply that you are responsible for the act. What he

requires of us is that we should possess love because this is our only passport to the kingdom of God. The

Page | 112

Gospel of today has shown you that even if you possess the whole world, if you have no love, it profits you nothing.

WHAT LOVE CAN OVERCOME

The whole world boasts in visions but the crux of the mat er and the vehicle, which aids you and

seeing the visions is the word of God itself. God has never deceived and he wil never deceive us. This is the

ark of Noah and al those who possess love are found in this ark. The impending famine wil not affect them.

The deadly diseases that wil strike the world wil not touch them. The destruction that wil come to the world

wil not get to them. No evil thing wil come to them. But al those who have no love wil be walking naked on

that day. Money wil not save you. Visions wil not save you. Children wil not save you. Wisdom wil not save

you. No person wil save you. It is love alone that wil save you because love is the law of the new kingdom.

"As the father has loved me, so have I loved you; abide ye in my love."

As the father loves the son, and as the son loves us, we should love one another as wel . The situation

should not be that when I love you, you continue to hate them. It is vain for you to boast that a man loves you,

his sister loves you, and his father loves you, but you do not love them. You extol someone for giving you

money, house and food, what have you done for him in return?

LOVE OPENS THE GATE OF HEAVEN

Our Lord Jesus Christ has said that it is very difficult for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

You cannot enter the kingdom of God with wealth. It is faith that gives you entrance into the kingdom of God.

But today, it is made clear to us that faith alone cannot take us into the kingdom of God. If you have faith such

that you can move mountains, if you have not love, it is vain. Love is not something we should toy with. It is

the first and the last. The moment you possess love, you have accomplished everything. Love is nearer to you

than the teeth is to the tongue. If you have love, you wil be satisfied with the position God has kept for you. If

you have love, you wil not be a burden on to any person. If you possess love, you would not love the things of

this world and you wil not see anything in the world, you wil always rejoice and thank the father, and you

wil surrender yourself to him to use as he pleases. Though you feed wel , food wil not take you into the

kingdom of God. You have been told not to love the world nor the things that are in the world, for whoever

loves God, cannot love the world. It is the love for this world that hinders you and separates you from God.

What can man do? Nothing. We are to surrender ourselves on to him and fol ow after love. The moment we

have love, our salvation is sure.

THE ARROGANCE OF BROTHERHOOD MEMBERS NOTICED

This Gospel must be published for al the visionaries and for al the inhabitants of the world, the rich,

the proud and the arrogant, those who perm their hair, those who put on costly clothes, so that they can see

their nakedness. It is good to look for the black goat when it is not yet night. Brotherhood members are very

arrogant. You thank the father because he has giving you money, children and everything. Do not thank him

Page | 113

again because if you do not have love, such are in vain. There is no preacher who regards a non-preacher as anything. No visioners regard another person as anything. No matter how smal he is he regards others as

goats. When you have a lit le money, you wil wish that every person should bow to you. When you have

children, you want every person to bow to you. But you forget that you received these things and they are not

the source of salvation. This is the judgment for al those who do not possess love.

GOLDEN TEXT: MATTHEW 7:22-23

Many wil say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name

have cast out Devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works? And then wil I profess unto them; I

never knew you depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Visioners, be here warned. When somebody buys you a motorcycle, you say that it is not enough he

should buy you a lorry, and an airplane. For what purpose? Do you think that vision wil grant you entrance

into this kingdom? It wil not. Now that you boast in miracle works, do you think that this wil lead you into

the kingdom of God? It wil not. Do you think that composing songs would lead you into the kingdom of God?

It wil not.

THOSE THAT WILL ENTER THE KINGDOM

Now that you are singing like the Nightingale, and can sing al the parts alone, do you think that this

wil lead you into the kingdom of God if you have no love? Do not be deluded with falsehood on the last day.

When the word of God fal s to the ground, it breaks mighty rocks, and rises up to accomplish its wil . The wise

man sees danger afar off and takes precaution, but the fool waits until it gets to him. We should seek for the

black goat when it is yet day. Today you have been told what wil happen to al those who have no love. That

is why our Lord Jesus Christ asserts that it is difficult for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. He also

says that not al those who cal me Lord, Lord, shal enter into the kingdom of God. He warns that we should

not boast in man, in wealth or in any of the things of this world. If he had not given us this warning, we

would continue to boast in our visions, that God loves us for revealing such things to us. People wil praise us

and bring us gifts. And you would not enter into the kingdom of God. If you can disappear at wil , if you are

seen lavishly at al places simultaneously, if you stand in the air and speak without love, you wil not enter

God's kingdom.

You can speak and the blind receives sight. People cal on your name and the dead are raised, and you

do many mighty works, but if you have no love, you wil not enter. Tel me, why you have departed from love

and gone after vain things which do not give glory to God? Or are you despising the long-suffering of God?

He does not wish that we should perish. He wants us to repent and be saved. From Monday to Sunday, I

preach love to you. From January to December I preach love to you, day in and day out, I preach love to you.

But you have rejected this virtue. You seek for visions. You pray that God should give you power and the kind

of wisdom that was given to Solomon. Was Solomon saved? Upon al the mighty works that have been done in

Page | 114

the world from the beginning of time, without the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, who would be saved? Upon al the universities you find in the world, people manufacture weapons of war, they make the airplane, the

submarine and many other things without the love of our Lord Jesus Christ, what would save us? You study to

become a professor, what happens if you do not have love? You want to pray so that everything may submit

unto you, if you have no love, what do you gain? Paul has said that the kingdom of God does not consist in

words but in power. What, if you have that power and have no love?

LOVE WORKS NO EVIL

Brethren, can you see how pitiful the world is? Love does no wrong to his neighbor. Love is the

fulfil ing of the law. If you have love now, you are no more, angry, you cannot commit any set of sin again,

you cannot begrudge any person. You cannot look despiteful y on any person. You wil not speak evil of any

person. You wil not sow the seeds of the division and you wil not commit fornication. Your eyes wil be

opened and you wil see that everything belongs to you, and that everyone is your brother, you cannot do evil

to anyone. People say that visioners are seers. They do not see they are blind. There were many prophets who

came right from the beginning, during and after the event of our Lord Jesus Christ, it was only in the time of

Jesus Christ that he taught us about love.

If you are saved, it is only because you possess love. If you parish, it is because you do not possess love.

No person is saved by his works; you are only saved through love. You want to please God but you beat up one

person, curse another, and drive away another. You have failed. The most pitiful thing is that you have seen

this love, you have touched it, have tasted it and have worn it, but you have rejected it. What do you have to

do with wealth? What do you have to do with the things of this world? Al these things are vanity. Many wil

say to me on that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast Devils?

And in thy name done many wonderful works? And I wil say to them, "depart from me. I have never known

you." How many Visioners here in brotherhood have the slightest love? They are a proud, they are arrogant

and they claim that they are gods.

VISIONERS ARE BLIND

Many of them are blind. They claim that the sickness that the leader cannot heal, they have healed. By

such ut erance, do they exhibit any brotherhood life? It is not healing the sick, seeing visions or preaching the

word that mat ers but love which is the only passport into the kingdom of God. Even if you sit inside your

room and have love you are in the kingdom of God. Right now brotherhood has not yet gone out of this shore.

There is no person to take it out. When you go out, you quarrel and fight. Is that brotherhood? When you go

to London, America, India, or to any other place, you fight and quarrel with each other. Even here, that is

what you do. Is that love? Have you entered into the kingdom? Sister Beverly Marts sees brotherhood only for

the few days she has been here. In London, what have you done is the same racial discrimination. On coming

here, she has seen the real love what brotherhood stands for. That is why everyone should look unto the

father. Without the father, you cannot see brotherhood. "What is keeping everyone is the faith in the father.

Page | 115

Without the father, no one can see brotherhood. A brotherhood member who puts on the white wil

deal with you in the way that an unbeliever could not deal with you. The person who cal s himself a pastor, or

an apostle wil treat you in a way that the juju priest or Satan himself could not treat you.

JUDGMENT

We have salvation only when we look unto the father who is our only light. Our hope is in the father.

Look steadfastly at him. Do not look unto any person. Remember the leader, the words of his mouth and his

conduct. Have you seen what wil happen to al those who do not possess love in the last day? Now that you

are boasting that you are gifted with visions, dream, the power to heal and do mighty works, these wil not

save you, as long as you wil not enter God's kingdom. Regard this gospel as the judgment unto yourself. Warn

yourself so that you may not be taken unawares on the last day. Spend a little time to save yourself. If you do

not possess love, seek for love right now, so that on that day it may not be said of you, "I have never known

you."

Do not boast again that you started brotherhood, or that you are brother to Obu, or that you are his

son, or that he is a black man or your friend, or that he loves you, or that you are rendering service to God.

These factors wil not save you. It is love alone that wil save you. If al the members do not possess love, they

wil not enter. If al the inhabitants of the world do not possess love, they wil not enter. But if we have love,

we shal al enter free. The destruction that is coming on the world wil not meet those who have love that is

why the song says, "take the whole world and give me Jesus. .". Brethren, I do not want to be tedious with you.

He, who has ears, let him hear.

A stroke of the cane is sufficient unto the wise. May God bless his holy words. Amen.

Thank You Father

LOVE: THE FINAL SOLUTION TO HUMAN PROBLEMS

FIRST BIBLE LESSON: 1ST PETER 4:8

And

above al things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shal cover the multitude of sins.

SECOND BIBLE LESSON: 1ST JOHN 2:10

He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.

GOLDEN TEXT: ROMANS 13:10

Love

worketh no il to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfil ing of the law.

THE VANITY OF LIFE WITHOUT LOVE

Brethren, the above texts form the theme of our sermon. It has been made known to you repeatedly

that money cannot grant anyone admission into this kingdom, neither can your children, wife, husband,

knowledge, and vision. The only virtue that can lead you into this kingdom of God is love. It is said in the

scripture:

Al those who claim to be Brotherhood of the Cross and Star members but continue to speak evil

against their brethren are liars and have no share in this kingdom. Any person who imputes sins upon his

fel ow man and finds faults in whatever another does is not a true Brotherhood of the Cross and Star member.

Also anyone who causes division among brethren and creates class distinction has no charity and is unworthy

to inherit this kingdom. This explains why you are told to be charitable. You cannot see anything good in

another person if you are not charitable. Any person who complains of other people and al eges the wrongs

they do to him, has no love. Any person who is not humble, who is disobedient, and who is unkind has no love

in him.

Page | 117

The word Satan refers to people who have no love. Such people also complain always about the evils

others have done to them, but they never mention what they do to others. The only virtue that can lead you

into the kingdom of God is love. Any person who complains of another person and does anything to discredit

him has no love. God has nothing to do with such a person because he is a rebel and an anti-Christ. That

explains why you are advised by the Scriptures as recorded below:

1 Peter 8

:

4

“And above al things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shal cover the multitude of sins.”

Do not complain about lack of money, wife, husband, car or house, to mention but a few. The only thing you

are lacking is love, without which you cannot inherit the kingdom of God. People who have love share

everything they get in common, no mat er the size and quantity. It is as a result of man's selfishness and greed

that he carves out an Empire for himself and in this carved out Empire, he would reign alone. Such a person is

not a member of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. God is the father of the multitude, the God of al and the

God of love. He has neither a beginning nor an end. Any person who has love wil always seek to greet others

first and endeavor to please them. Such a person has no time to complain and to impute sins on another

person. The work of a charitable person is to speak the truth, to be humble, to be patient, to be benevolent, to

be merciful and to be up right. This explains why it is said “Love worketh no il to his neighbor: therefore love

is the fulfil ing of the law (Romans

Whoever loves another does not associate him with anything that is sinful. I continue to tel you that

you do not know the place you are in and your mission therein. It is love alone that reigns in this kingdom

which has been given to you free. Whoever complains of being deceived, hated, or defrauded should know

that he has first done that to another person sometime back. That confirms the biblical injunction recorded

below: “But evil men and seducers shal wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived (2 Timothy

3

”.

)

3

1

:

That is why there is no place in the world today in which one can find truth, peace, and tranquility.

You could have money, a beautiful wife, children, estates and yet you have no peace of mind. No one wants to

live in unity with one another and share everything in common. The only place where love is exhibited and

practiced is in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. Usual y, the world gets baffled, questioning how the

multitude of persons who troop into Brotherhood of the Cross and Star headquarters are accommodated. They

also wonder about the peaceful coexistence amongst the members. Except you are in Brotherhood of the Cross

and Star, there is no love in you. Whoever has no love has no share in this kingdom.

Page | 118

I preach love to you at dawn and at dusk, day in and day out. What you find in this kingdom are love, oneness, peace, and tranquility. Therefore in this kingdom, whoever complains of hatred should pray

frequently for himself, whoever complains of lack of peace should also pray for himself. If you seek for peace

and love, you wil surely get them. Money, beauty, education, and high social status cannot give you peace.

The only thing which can afford you Peace is love. Love can also give you prosperity, truth, tranquility, good

health, strength, and al the good things you desire. Read the first lesson below:

FIRST BIBLE LESSON: 1ST PETER 4:8

And above al things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shal cover the multitude of sins.

LOVE IS A UNIFYING FACTOR

Brethren, can you not realize that it is love alone that can unite a people? Do you also realize that it is

only love that can foster peace, joy and oneness? Always seek after Peace, for it is the root of al good things. If

you are patient, you are on the right track towards love. Other qualities such as mercy, humility, truthfulness,

meekness, ability to refrain from fornication, idolatry, and eating of fish lead you to the ultimate love. That

explains why love is the fulfil ment of the law. You cannot enjoy this kingdom except you have love. If it were

possible for me to buy the virtue of love and infuse it into al of you, I would have done so to enable you

visualize the way this kingdom looks like.

What do you lament about? Why do you complain and mourn of your predicament when you know

that you have no love for your fel ow man? The only solution to your problem is love. You claim that you are

being hated, disgraced, begrudge and despised; it is because you have no love. If you complain of being

tempted, it is because you have no love. As far as I am concerned, these things do not exist where I am. The

only thing that I can see and know is Joy. If you were to know the one who is in your midst, no person would

weep where I am and no person would frown nor lament at al before me. Whoever complains of al these

things is indirectly reporting his lack of love to the father. Why not emulate me? Am I not a human being like

you, with al the necessary physical features? Have you ever heard me complaining or lamenting about

anything or person? Have I ever quarreled or fought with anybody? Nobody is persecuting you and nobody

hates or deceives you. Your problem is of your own making; lack of love.

Many of you believe that you have had several encounters with ghosts, juju, wizards, and similar

things. This is so because you have no love. Otherwise why have I not encountered them too? There are many

people who go to the extent of contesting with God's order of things, questioning certain actions. Who are you

to question God? Has he not said “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus

Christ our Lord (Romans

”.

)

Page | 119

If we love one another, we shal have peace of mind, eternal life, joy and al of the good things.

Mankind continues to resist the wil of God, yet he would complain when being revisited by evil. Who are you

to advise God? What reason have you to disobey him? Many of you complain when you come into

Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, saying that your former church denominations did not teach you the truth

in the Bible. What excuse would you give now that the truth has been taught to you?

Before the ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ into heaven, on one occasion he asked Peter: “So when

they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto

him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs” (John

.)

There is no good thing a person can do without the backing of love. Every good thing is done in

Brotherhood of the Cross and Star through the power of love. The stock and trade of a love deficient person is

to go about causing trouble and creating problems. The work of any person who has no love is to gossip about

put ing two friends or brothers at loggerheads. Brethren, it is for this reason that you are advised to be

charitable among yourselves because love covers a multitude of sins. Love is said to be blind. Once you love

your brother, you would not see his sins, you would not hate him, you would not despise him and you would

not plan evil against him. Leave everybody to his way, but do not relent in practicing righteousness. Do not

teach others how to love and be righteous but put love into practice, demonstrate love and righteousness in

your deeds and utterances. By so doing, al others wil join you. The important thing to do is not to frequent

yourself in the church and always be only listening to the word of God, you have to put the words preached to

you into practice at al times.

No mat er how powerful your father is, no mat er how highly spirited you are, if you have no love,

your effort is in vain. If you are capable of tracing God's genealogy and to prophesy about things to come, if

you can recite the contents of the scripture from Genesis to Revelation, without charity, you cannot gain

anything. No mat er the level of your ignorance, il iteracy and poverty, if you have love, you are saved. Love

at racts peace, wisdom, patience, power, prosperity, and everything good. There is nothing more to preach

about this kingdom and its glory than to preach about love. Even if the world and everything therein is given

to you, it wil profit you nothing if you are devoid of love. Even if I should reveal al the secrets of this

kingdom to you, without love it profits you nothing. Read the second lesson below:

SECOND BIBLE LESSON: 1ST JOHN 2:10

“He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.”

Page | 120

LIVE IS LIGHT

Brethren, consider this: in a situation where your neighbor’s goat crosses the fence to your yard and

eats up your yams, is it sensible to quarrel or even fight with him? If you do, is it your neighbor who sent the

goat to your yard? If you kil your brother, because of land, is that not an act of foolishness? This is

understood in the scripture: “He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of

stumbling in him. But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not

whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes (1 John

-

:

2

”.

)

Therefore, al those who kil one another and destroy properties like what the Muslim extremists are

fond of doing in Nigeria, have no love in them. Any person who loves not his brother is a child of perdition. It

is therefore not necessary for any person to be interested in holy oil, Biakpan water, vision, or such other

things. This is because these things do not afford one any salvation. The only thing you can have to seek after

is love. Love is the pivot upon which every other virtue and goodness revolve. Abide in love and have al your

problems solved. The only debt we owe God and indeed to one another is love.

THE WORLD IS INDEBTED TO LOVE

The entire world is indebted to love God. We are also indebted to love each other. There is nothing any

man can do, other than love. You cannot shy away from loving God because he had loved us first, we just

have to reciprocate the gesture. Except you love him, you cannot have peace of mind. It is for this reason that I

continue to preach about love to you every day and night. You also have to preach nothing other than love to

your friends, relations, parents, and the government.

It is out of ignorance for anybody to claim that he or she is indebted to any person. We are al indebted

to love one another and to love God. It is as a result of lack of exhibiting this love to your fel ow man that

peace of mind eludes you. You lack good luck, good health, and you get beset with multifarious problems

because you have no love. You should always bear in mind that you are debtor, and the only way to be free

and have joy and peace of mind is to love your God. You are to be pitied because you have no love. You pick a

quarrel and fight because there is no love in you. Love is wide, expansive, and deep enough to accommodate

al things. On 2nd February, 1942 I chal enged the whole world that if any person could succeed in annoying

me, such a person would get a handsome reward. Up til now, no one has been able to win the prize. My ears

hear only good things and my eyes see righteousness. If you were to realize where I am you would not behave

the way you do here.

Page | 121

I am jealous of you, that is why I do not relent in preaching to you. Recal the consolatory statements made by our Lord Jesus Christ: “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my

Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And

if I go and prepare a place for you, I wil come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye

may be also ( John

-

1

:

4

1

)

3 .”

Love bestows freedom, prosperity, wisdom, and every good thing. When you exalt people because they

are professers, physicians, lawyers, engineers, and so on what is the meaning of these things without love?

Love is the fulfil ing of the law. There is nothing a professor or a lawyer without love can offer. In Genesis

chapter 1, we are told that at the end of six days work of creation, God declared everything good. He never

declared anything bad or evil. It is man himself who has brought about such words as evil and Satan, bad and

so on, because of man's evil mind.

Many of the parents complain that their children are so disobedient but has God complained or

reported you to anyone in spite of your sinful nature? You complain because you have no love. The grace of

God is sufficient to you. Therefore it is erroneous for any person to say "for either good or evil, one should

thank God." What do you mean by evil? Did God create anything evil? With god there is no evil. You see evil

because you have no love. Re-examine the golden text:

GOLDEN TEXT: ROMANS 13:10

Love worketh no il to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfil ing of the law.

LOVE COVERS ALL INIQUITIES

Is there any person in the whole world who has not done one evil or the other to his fel ow man? Does

love impute sin on his neighbor? Does love hate or cause division? Can you see how a simple gospel of love is

so difficult for the world to practice? Man seeks after mundane things which are non-beneficial to him. That

is why the Bible says “And if any man think that he knoweth anything, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to

know. But if any man loves God, the same is known of him (1 Corinthians

-

2

:

8

)

3 .”

Whoever possesses love is known to God. Such is the person who has fulfil ed the law and is qualified

to be cal ed a professor, physician, lawyer, or engineer. The only person who is patient, meek, merciful,

truthful, kind, peaceful, and has eternal life is the one who has charity. Such a person walks majestical y in

the world and is as free as air; his entry into the kingdom of God is as sure as daylight. Whoever is devoid of

love, has not fulfil ed the law. If you offend your neighbor, it is because you have no love. You see no evil in

anybody or thing that you love because love is blind. Whoever possesses love lives in abundance and is always

Page | 122

wil ing to serve others. I have to preach this love to you and drum it into your ears in anyway until you possess love. It is erroneous to think that someone wil report you to God. Your actions and ut erances reveal

you to people and to God more than any other person would. That is why it is said “But if any man love God,

the same is known of him (1 Corinthians

”.

)

Brethren, I do not intend to take you further. A stroke of the cane is sufficient unto the wise. He who

has ears, let him hear. May God bless his holy words. Amen.

Thank You Father
