ETON DAY CELEBRATION As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. (John 15:9)

THE KINGDOM OF GOD DOES NOT COUNT ON LARGE CROWDS. FEW WHO PRACTICE THE WORD ARE BETTER THAN THOUSANDS WHO DO NOT PRACTICE THE WORD OF GOD. YOU ARE CALLED UPON TO EXTEND THE LOVE THAT THE AUTHOR OF OUR FAITH, EVEN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST HAS LOVED US, TO YOUR FELLOW MEN.BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU

A NEIGHBOR WILL NOT TEACH NEIGHBOR, NEITHER WILL BROTHER, SAYING KNOW THE LORD, BECAUSE EVERYONE HAS SEEN HIM AND ALL HAVE KNOWN HIM. (Heb 8:11).

In the time past, people searched for God in the moon, star, sun, etc. They went to Jerusalem, Jericho, to mountains, inside water, and everywhere in search of God, but they could not see Him, it is for this reason that our Lord Jesus Christ made a far-reaching statement saying: "Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the lightening cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." (Matt 24:26-27). Do

not advise any person to come to Calabar that he/she will see our Lord Jesus Christ. Do not go there, if anybody tells you about God, do not go there. For the new covenant does not tell you that unless you go to India, England, Israel or Nigeria, you will not see God. He is everywhere. Whether you are in India, England or America, and a person comes to you, tell him to kneel down, confess all his sins and denounce all his membership of secret societies. Let him become truly repentant and take him into the water for baptism by immersion. AS SOON AS HE EMERGES FROM THE WATER, HE WILL RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT. THIS IS A CHALLENGE I HAVE THROWN TO ALL THE INHABITANTS OF THE WORLD.

LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU

He who also says that there is no Holy Spirit in existence heads toward destruction. It is incumbent on all the inhabitants of the world that they should practice this gospel. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO PRACTICE ANY OTHER WORD OF GOD, MAKE SURE YOU PRACTICE THIS VERY ONE. It is the ignorance of this word of God that plunges the whole world into difficulty and tribulation. God is true and His words are true.

God is not like a human being. Once He has spoken, His words must come to manifestation. It is the promise He has made from the beginning of time.

The creations of God cannot know God. The reason very many people fall apart and exist in delusion about God is that they are living in flesh and blood. THIS IS WHY IT IS NECESSARY THAT THIS GOSPEL MUST BE SENT TO THE

FOUR CORNERS OF THE WORLD, SO THAT NO PERSON WILL HAVE ANYTHING WITH WHICH TO DEFEND HIMSELF.

BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU

EMULATE ME:

Many times, I have told you that mine is leadership by example. I do not teach one thing and do another. I have several times told you to emulate me. Ever since I came into this earth plane, my target is to accomplish my assignment of changing man. And I have nothing to do with sin. I have never committed sin.

My life style is a one way traffic-righteousness to the core. I do not want to have faith or hope in any man or the material things of this world. This is so because I am not of the world. Getting baptized into this kingdom is an opportunity for you to refrain from sins because you have been informed of the attendant effects. You would not toy with this rare opportunity accorded you.

God would have used you to accomplish great task, if you had refrained from sins. He would have indwelled and used you to His glory for your salvation and blessing. You suffer because you are so much in love with the world at the expense of the love of God. Let the Holy Spirit direct you, and you will not be the same again. Remember you have been advised:

Those who have ears let them hear. May God bless His Holy words. Amen.


THE LEADERSHIP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

THE HOLY SPIRIT BROUGHT PEACE BECAUSE HE IS THE KING OF PEACE. HE ALSO BROUGHT JOY AND EVERLASTING LIFE TO MANKIND.

The memorandum of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star makes it clear that a Brotherhood member has no association with the world. Similarly, the Holy Spirit has nothing to do with weeping, lamentation, fornication, murder, wars, and all manners of sin. THE HOLY SPIRIT BROUGHT PEACE BECAUSE HE IS THE KING OF PEACE. HE ALSO BROUGHT JOY AND EVERLASTING LIFE TO MANKIND.

Any Brotherhood member who does not possess the Holy Spirit is an unbeliever. Such members are faithless. Faith cometh by hearing the words of God. Give the people the words of God and they will ask you what to do in order to attain salvation. That was what happened to the Ethiopian Eunuch. Read Acts 8:26-38. Immediately he was baptized, all of Eunuch's sins were forgiven and he received the Holy Spirit. Accordingly, whoever rejects baptism, his sins will ever be on him in this generation and the one to come.

This is the last chance given to all children of God to practice love, humility, charity, patience and all virtues of Godliness. Our Lord Jesus Christ said, "If ye love Me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the

Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you forever. Even the spirit of truth whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him: but you know Him; for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you." (John 14:15-17). Accordingly, the Holy Spirit is the one doing all the great works in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star.

Formerly, the world claimed that Brotherhood's leadership is satanic. Now, they have seen love, righteousness, peace, patience, meekness, joy and holiness in the Leader Himself. Their eyes are now opened. This is because if satan can have true love, righteousness, holiness and all virtues of Godliness, then it ceases to be Satan but God. Read the golden text again.

Golden Text: John 3:5

Jesus answered, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God."

The Necessity Of A Spiritual Rebirth

In order to gain entry into the Kingdom of God, you must crucify the body and its lusts; for you cannot serve God and Satan at the same time. You must forsake all sins, repent and be baptized; then you become a newborn child in the Spirit.

The children of the world cannot do any good because they will be directed by one mind to do good and the other takes the opposite stand. They end up doing the wrong thing which is evil. On the contrary, Brotherhood of the Cross and Star members believes in good deeds.

There is peace, love, meekness, righteousness, joy and all Godly virtues expressed by only one individual. That is why they usually comment that all Brotherhood have one voice.

Our Lord Jesus Christ has fulfilled His promise as stated in John chapter 14 verses 15-16. That Comforter is now with us. We therefore have nothing to worry about. We all live unto God and not the world. We have nothing in common with the world. What we do is help the world, just to fulfill the principles of love which is in us.

The Holy Spirit has already revealed that any person who has any type of charms or diabolical substances should throw them away. Do not keep any such things in your house. The Holy Spirit is the force that is doing all things in this Kingdom. May God bless His Holy Words. Amen.


THERE EXISTS ONLY ONE GLORY. Joh 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye

love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

Joh 13:35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

THIS GREAT AND INDIVISIBLE GLORY IS MEANT FOR ONLY THE ALMIGHTY GOD AND HIS SERVANTS.DO NOT WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO TELL YOU WHAT TO DO. I WANT YOU TO GET THESE WORDS DIRECTLY FROM ME. I ALSO SAID THE KING OF KINGS AND QUEEN MOTHER SHOULD BE IN ATTENDANCE DURING THE FAREWELL SESSION. THERE EXIST ONLY ONE GLORY. THIS GREAT AND INDIVISIBLE GLORY IS MEANT FOR ONLY THE ALMIGHTY GOD AND HIS SERVANTS. The rest of other people are placed in positions of responsibility by this one God and Father. And these people no matter their status, stature, race and tongue are subject to the power that has placed them in such positions; AND IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU RESPECT THE GREATEST BEING THAT HAS KEPT THEM WHERE THEY ARE. WHOEVER THEREFORE DISREGARDS OR DISOBEYS THEM, DIRECTLY CHALLENGES GOD, AND SUCH A PERSON SHALL FACE THE WRATH OF GOD. YOUR ACT OF DISOBEDIENCE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR SUFFERING

TODAY. IT IS ALSO DUE TO YOUR FAILURE TO HONOR THE PRESENCE AND AUTHORITY OF GOD IN MAN. YOU DO NOT HAVE RESPECT FOR ONE ANOTHER. DO YOU NOT HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE THAT WHENEVER YOU RESPECT MAN YOU ARE DOING SO TO GOD?Clearly if you love one another, you have loved God and if you are truthful to one another, you are equally being truthful to God. Whatever belongs to the Father also belongs to the Son. Everybody is therefore enjoined to humble himself so as to carry out the instructions issued out by the ones that God has placed in positions of authority. By so doing, you will receive many blessings from God. If you adhere to these instructions by respecting those in authority and also endeavor to practice righteousness, then would Brotherhood be recognized. Note that if Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is recognized, it would invariably mean that you are equally recognized. The reason being that whatever honor and glory are accorded Brotherhood of the Cross and Star the same which extends to you as well. Also, know that until Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is fully glorified, you cannot have full glory.

WHEN GOD IS GLORIFIED THE SON IS ALSO GLORIFIEDSo, is it not incumbent on you to magnify the glory of God so that consequently you will also be

glorified? Anybody who serves God is glorified alongside God. This is in conformity with what the Bible affirms that; whoever believes in the Son invariably believes in the Father who had sent Him.THEREFORE, FROM NOW, IT IS ABSOLUTELY UNNECESSARY TO PLEAD WITH THE KING OF KINGS OR THE HOLY QUEEN MOTHER TO TAKE YOU TO THE FATHER. DO NOT ALSO SEEK TO HAVE AUDIENCE WITH THE KING OF KINGS OR HOLY QUEEN MOTHER. YOU SHOULD DESIST FROM SEEKING TO BE TAKEN TO ANY PERSONALITY IN BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR TO DEMAND FOR ONE FAVOR OR THE OTHER.Do not involve in backbiting, gossiping, mourning, murmuring and other acts capable of causing discrimination or segregation in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, for the entire world has been united into one indivisible fold.

WHAT IS REQUIRED OF YOU IS EXHIBITION OF ABSOLUTE FAITH IN GOD THE FATHER. DO OBEY HIS INJUNCTIONS AND ABIDE STRICTLY BY HIS WORDS. YOUR POST AS A ROYAL HIGHNESS, BISHOP, PASTOR, APOSTLE, CHRIST'S STUDENT OR SERVANT, DEACONESS OR CHILD OF GOD DOES NOT MATTER; WHAT YOU ARE REQUIRED TO DO IS TO OBEY GOD'S WORD. YOU MUST ALWAYS HAVE IMPLICIT FAITH IN HIS WORD. ALSO YOU HAVE TO OBEY

ALL CONSTITUTED AUTHORITIES. THOSE OF YOU IN THE KINGDOM HAVE TO HONOR AND RESPECT ONE ANOTHER. DO HUMBLE YOURSELF SINCE YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE ALL THE MESSENGERS OF GOD IN HIS KINGDOM. REMEMBER THAT AS GOD IS REVEALED SO ALSO ARE YOU REVEALED.


THE UNLIMITED POWER:

THERE IS NO POWER OR PERSON THAT EXIST APART FROM JESUS CHRIST. THERE IS NO MALE, FEMALE, CHILDREN, HEIRS, SLAVE ETC, FOR IT IS CHRIST ALONE WHO EXISTS IN ALL THINGS.

All those who proclaim to have enrolled in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star and later left are those who do not seek for God and His kingdom. They are also those who are not ready to mortify the flesh and become one with Christ. Also, those who are in this group are those who do not care for the heavenly but mundane things. ANYONE WHO HAS AGREED TO MORTIFY THE FLESH HAS NO RIGHT TO DANCE TO THE TUNE OF THE FLESH ANY LONGER. RATHER, HE MUST ALWAYS BE LED AND CONTROLLED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. There are some people who go into the bush in order to possess this power but their effort end in fiasco. The medical personnel do pray always to be blessed with this kind of power, but to no avail. The reverend fathers too seek for this power with all their best but to no avail. BUT IF THERE ARE SOME OF YOU HERE WHO WOULD MORTIFY THE FLESH, BELIEVE IN GOD AND PURGE YOURSELVES OF SIN, YOU WILL BE BLESSED WITH THE POWER OF GOD WITHOUT LIMIT. THERE IS NO POWER OR PERSON THAT EXIST APART FROM JESUS CHRIST. THERE IS NO MALE, FEMALE, CHILDREN, HEIRS, SLAVE ETC, FOR IT IS CHRIST ALONE WHO EXISTS IN ALL THINGS.

The word of God which has it that, "WHEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH COMES, HE WILL GUIDE YOU INTO ALL THE TRUTH, FOR HE WILL NOT SPEAK ON HIS OWN AUTHORITY. BUT WHATEVER HE HEARS HE WILL

SPEAK, AND HE WILL DECLARE TO YOU THE THINGS TO COME..." (John 16:13) , is vindicated. BUT HAVE YOU ACCEPTED THE PROMISED COMFORTER? IT IS SAID IN OUR FIRST LESSON THUS: FOR AS MANY OF YOU AS WERE BAPTIZED INTO CHRIST HAVE PUT ON CHRIST. THERE IS NEITHER SLAVE NOR FREE, THERE IS NEITHER MALE NOR FEMALE, FOR YOU ARE ALL ONE IN CHRIST JESUS. SEQUEL TO THE STATEMENT ABOVE, THERE IS NEED TO PURGE OURSELVES OF SEGREGATION AND EMBRACE ONENESS AND UNITY HERE IN THE KINGDOM. READ THE FIRST LESSON AGAIN.


THIS IS THE ERA OF THE LEADERSHIP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.

MOHAMMED AFFIRMED THAT IT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT HAS THE RIGHT OF LEADERSHIP. OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST ALSO SAID THAT, THE HOLY SPIRIT OF TRUTH WOULD LEAD THE WORLD, AND IN CONFORMITY WITH THIS PROMISE, HE HAS COME TO LEAD YOU. HAVE YOU RECEIVED HIM BY MORTIFYING THE FLESH? NOTE THAT THE ERA OF FLESH HAD SINCE PASSED. THIS IS THE ERA OF THE LEADERSHIP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.


THE KINGDOM HAS ARRIVED:*BUT THE MOST PATHETIC THING IS THAT, IN THE ROMAN CATHOLIC FOLD, THERE IS NO MEMBER, RANGING FROM

THE POPE TO THE CONGREGATION WHO HAD MORTIFIED THE FLESH. THIS IS SO BECAUSE THERE IS NO MEMBER WHO HAS ACTUALLY GOT BAPTIZED AND BECOME ONE WITH CHRIST.

*IPSO FACTO, THEY HAVE NO SHARE IN GOD'S KINGDOM. THIS IS BECAUSE THERE IS NO ONE OF THEM WHO HAS DIED WITH CHRIST SO TO SPEAK. And if you have not died with Christ, how would you then resurrect with Him?

THE NEW BIRTH: Beloved, the directive in this gospel is what everyone is expected to undergo in this kingdom. And it is meant for a particular people, so that they should not continue in their problems. Very many people are looking for this kingdom and this particular gospel. And the moment they come to accept baptism into this kingdom and read it, they will deny the world and the fullness thereof. Put differently, you deny the world and the things thereof once you have been baptized into this kingdom. Because it is there and then that is, after baptism that you have become one with Christ. This explains why Christ said, "Verily, verily, I Say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." (John 3:5).

THE SPIRIT IN THIS BIBLICAL EXCEPT REFERS TO PUTTING ON CHRIST AS GARMENT AND

MORTIFYING THE FLESH. THIS GOES IN LINE WITH THE CONTENT OF THE SECOND LESSON WHICH HAS IT THAT: "THOSE WHO BELONG TO CHRIST JESUS HAVE CRUCIFIED THE FLESH WITH ITS PASSIONS AND DESIRES." This connotes that all those who belong to Christ are sinless and do not have need for materialism. Our golden text informs us further that there is no longer Jews, Greek, child, slaves, among others. This means that Christ alone is in existence and in all things.

Christ was formally a Carpenter, but right from the day He renounced the things of the world and lived in spirit, He was taken into the wilderness by the Spirit. And right from then till now, He has no other work than to serve God. Saul was the enemy to Christ's followers. But right from the time he went to torture the followers of God and was got subdued by Christ, he did not have any other work to do than serving God. After he was caught by Christ, he was baptized and made one with Christ. And till now, Paul has no concern with sin and materialism.

The book entitled, FIRST STEP TO GOD has enjoined us all to purge immoralities, theft falsehood and other vices after the “rebirth baptism.” But today, the reverse is the case, because it is not uncommon to see some people going back to indulge in sins after their baptism. If you are in this group, the question is what kind of

baptism did you accept? Do you not know that going back to your former self (sinful acts) after baptism tantamounts to the second death? This is the bane of the world. No matter who a person was, so long as he has come into the kingdom, accepts baptism and decides to serve God diligently, such a person has denied and renounced all form of sins and materialism.

RESURRECT WITH CHRIST:

Be informed that right from the day you were immersed into the water in the name of baptism, you have become one with Christ, and it then becomes imperative that, you must not go back to defile yourself again with the things of the world. That is why Christ strongly enjoined that, anyone who is not born of water and the Holy Spirit is not worthy to enter into the kingdom of God. BUT THE MOST PATHETIC THING IS THAT, IN THE ROMAN CATHOLIC FOLD, THERE IS NO MEMBER, RANGING FROM THE POPE TO THE CONGREGATION WHO HAD MORTIFIED THE FLESH. THIS IS SO BECAUSE THERE IS NO MEMBER WHO HAS ACTUALLY GOT BAPTIZED AND BECOME ONE WITH CHRIST. IPSO FACTO, THEY HAVE NO SHARE IN GOD'S KINGDOM. THIS IS BECAUSE THERE IS NO ONE OF THEM WHO HAS DIED WITH CHRIST SO TO SPEAK. And if you have not died with Christ, how would you then resurrect with Him? And if you have not resurrected with Him, how then can you have a share in His kingdom?

SIMILAR THING APPLIES TO THE MOSLEMS WORLD AMONG OTHERS WHO SCOFF AT BAPTISM BY IMMERSION. ACCEPTING BAPTISM AND MORTIFYING THE FLESH CONSTITUTE DYING AND RESURRECTING WITH CHRIST. AND ONCE THIS IS DONE, THE SPIRIT HAS BEEN MADE TO TAKE DOMINION OVER THE FLESH. AND THIS IS ALSO THE WHEN CHRIST HAS BEEN MADE TO RULE OVER YOU. INFACT, THIS IS A PROBLEM FREE PERIOD IN YOUR LIFE.


……………………………………………………………………

THE SEASON OF GOD'S MERCY

The Gospel of today, (Sunday, March 1st. 1992), must be spread all over the world both in radio, television and in the print media.

It is said that the children of God and the angels are those who shall judge the world (1 Cor 6:2). A handful of people in the world are watching, waiting, and they are still looking out to see when this would come to pass.

Already judgement is going on. You have heard an eloquent testimony of that brother from Rivers State (Nigeria), who went into a trance, and he saw how the great judgement of God was being delivered against those who do not follow the path of rectitude.

That is the reason you heard from the First Bible Lesson that "this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached to all nations; and then the end shall come."

WHATSOEVER MEANS YOU CAN USE TO SPREAD THE TEACHINGS OF GOD, DO IT. I have already given you this gospel before. The stage we are now at is known as The Season of God's Mercy, where judgement is beginning in the house of God. You will also recall the testimony a certain brother gave about a strange dream he had. He had seen that people were being

swept aside by an ill wind. And when he inquired in that dream about the interpretation and significance of that dream, he was told that those swept aside by the wind are those who still indulge in the senseless habit of eating meat and fish.

*I have warned you several times to refrain from committing these sins, such as telling lies, stealing and fornication. All these vices tantamount to Judgement of God.

The kingdom that we are in is the highest court in the world. I am not talking about a prayer house. If you are a Christian, a Muslim, or Hindu or Buddhist etc., the moment you believe and you are baptized you shall be saved. If you are a pagan, a juju priest, etc., once you refrain from all the diabolical ways of the world, and you become baptized into Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, and you believe in this name, you shall be saved.

God is impartial. I do not say partial, but I say impartial. God does not cheat any person, irrespective of your tribe, creed, or religious inclination. When once you believe and in this name be baptized, you shall be saved. You have to go to all the corners of the world and impart these teachings to those who have not heard about me before. IT IS NOT BY BUILDING A HUT AND GOING THERE EVERY DAY AND YOU START BARKING, WAILING, IN JESUS'

NAME OR CALLING ON THIS OR THAT NAME. THESE WOULD NEVER SAVE YOU.

*YOUR DUTY DOES NOT STOP AT BUILDING CATHEDRALS OR BETHELS HERE AND THERE. RATHER YOU ARE TO GO ALL THE CORNERS OF THE WORLD AND TELL THE WORLD ABOUT THESE RECONDITE TEACHINGS OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST THAT WHOSOEVER SHALL BELIEVE AND BE BAPTIZED SHALL BE SAVED.

Your work is limited when you erect a small building or bethel and you perform healing and other forms of spiritual services. A great number of people have not heard about Brotherhood of the Cross and Star and my teachings. But a time shall come when the world shall know and hear about Brotherhood. That is why many people harbour doubts about Brotherhood, claiming that since they were baptized before in their various churches in the world, that how come they are being asked again to baptize into Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. That is the reason many of them cannot come into Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. THE MOMENT YOU CONCEIVE THIS THOUGHT WITHIN YOU, YOU ARE GONE. Others erroneously claim that since they have given alms to the poor and the needy, that they are saved because they have done the injunctions of God. You are equally lost. IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE IN

THIS WONDERFUL NAME AND GET BAPTIZED, YOU SHALL PERISH.

You have heard the testimony of the former staunch member of Cherubim and Seraphim Church Movement the other day. He claimed he was all and in all and one of the gurus in the movement. When the call of God reached him, God instructed him to go and get baptized along with his entire family and other members of his household, otherwise he was going to be transferred to the great beyond with his entire family. When he harkened to the directive of God, he was saved with his family from the imminent obliteration.

God does not save us because of our righteousness but out of His grace and mercy. If you are a herbalist, necromancer or an occultist, the moment you come before God, prostrate and confess your sins, believe and get baptized and in addition you denounce all the diabolical things you had indulged in before, you shall be saved.

*I have warned you to stop stealing and to flee from committing fornication and crime. I EQUALLY TOLD YOU THAT THE ONLY WAY OUT IS TO BAPTIZE AND RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT AND YOU WILL BE SAVED. ONCE YOU DO NOT HAVE ALL THE

VIRTUES OF GOD IN YOU, YOU HAVE NO SHARE IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

You perform miracles by raising the dead, healing the sick, but you refuse to accept baptism, WHO WILL HELP YOU WHEN YOU PASS AWAY? Clear the bush and leave it for me and I will set the fire. SPREAD THIS GOSPEL OF TRUTH TO THE ENTIRE WORLD; TO THE BIG PERSONALITIES IN THE WORLD AND WHETHER THEY ACCEPT YOU OR NOT SHOULD NOT BOTHER YOU, FOR I WILL CARRY OUT THE OTHER ASPECT OF IT.

*ALL THE GREAT AND MIGHTY WORKS DONE HERE IN BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR ARE DONE THROUGH THE ACCEPTANCE OF THE TEACHINGS AND THE BAPTISM OF GOD. You are aware that for someone to accept baptism is not an easy task. Some people have remained in their denominations for years, and they have not received baptism.

*I have not told you to pressure them to be baptized and become saved. THIS IS BECAUSE IF THE FATHER WERE TO REVEAL THE SIGNIFICANCE OF BAPTISM TO US, ESPECIALLY THE DAY WE ARE BAPTIZED, WE SHOULD BE CELEBRATING FEAST ON EVERY OTHER ANNIVERSARY OF THAT PARTICULAR DAY THROUGHOUT THE REST OF OUR LIVES.

*THIS IS BECAUSE IT IS THE VERY DAY WE ARE BAPTIZED THAT ALL OUR SINS OF THE PAST GENERATIONS WERE CLEANSED AND WE BECAME CHANGED UNTO THE HOLY SPIRIT. If someone comes to you to ask you about the intricacies of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, do not say anything. Let the one get baptized first before you pay him or her any attention.

*You are now in BCS and you believe someone who gives you vision and extracts charms from your body. WHAT ABOUT BAPTISM? IN THE CASE OF BAPTISM, MONEY IS NOT REQUIRED. BAPTISM DOES NOT COST YOU ANYTHING PROVIDED YOU BELIEVE IN THIS NAME.

Our Lord Jesus Christ told Nicodemus that unless he was born again that he would not enter the kingdom of God. Nicodemus asked Our Lord Jesus Christ how could he be born again, when he was old and already a full grown man? The answer that Christ gave him was that UNLESS NICODEMUS WAS BAPTIZED IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, SON AND HOLY SPIRIT, HE WOULD NOT ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD (John 3:1-5).

*You are a member of Amorc. If you do not denounce it and accept baptism, you shall not be saved. WHOEVER MUST ESCAPE THE WRATH OF GOD AND ACCEPT BAPTISM, AND BELIEVE, SHALL BE SAVED.

*I HAVE TOLD YOU TIME AND TIME AGAIN THAT A BROTHERHOOD CHILD IS STANDING ON A ROCK AND THERE IS NO PROBLEM FOR THEM. THE UNDOING IS THAT AFTER CONFESSING OUR SINS, WE RETURN TO COMMIT THE SAME SIN WE HAD CONFESSED OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

*MANY PEOPLE ARE SERVING VARIOUS JAIL TERMS AND SOME ARE IN DETENTION CAMPS BECAUSE OF THEIR DISOBEDIENCE TO GOD. THEY WERE GIVEN THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT BUT THEY REFUSED TO ACCEPT BAPTISM AND BELIEVE IN GOD.

*THE SAME PROBLEM APPLIES TO PATIENTS IN HOSPITAL WARDS. IF ONLY THE GOVERNMENT WOULD ALLOW BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR MEMBERS TO GO TO ALL THESE PLACES, HOSPITALS, PRISON YARDS, POLICE CELLS, ETC. TO PRAY FOR THE INMATES, YOU WILL SEE THAT SOON THESE PEOPLE WOULD BE REFORMED, DISCHARGED AND ACQUITTED.

*ANYBODY WHO IS SICK, ASK HIM TO CONFESS HIS SINS AND BELIEVE IN THIS NAME AND BECOME BAPTIZED, AND ALL WILL BE WELL AND THE SICKNESSES AND TRIBULATIONS WOULD VANISH.

** BAPTISM IN ESSENCE MEANS THE DENOUNCING OF ALL MUNDANE PLEASURES, VICES, DIABOLICAL DEITIES OF THE WORLD AND NEVER AGAIN GOING BACK TO COMMIT

THE VARIOUS SINS ENUMERATED. ONCE WE HAVE COMPLIED WITH THESE, WE SHALL BE SAVED.

READ: MATTHEW 28:19-20: "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen."

IF YOU GO OUTSIDE AND START ERECTING MANSION, CATHEDRALS, HERE AND THERE, AND YOU BUY MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS, ALL THESE THINGS WOULD NOT HELP YOU. **THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO GO INTO THE WORLD AND INFORM THOSE WHO HAVE NEVER HEARD ABOUT ME AND BCS, TELL THEM THE TEACHINGS IN THIS KINGDOM.

All the problems and tribulations you heard from all the nations are because they have of their refusal to surrender and recognize the presence of God on earth.


I DID NOT WANT TO BAPTIZE JUST ANYBODY, THAT IS, THOSE WHO DO NOT BELIEVE IN OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.

In Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, for instance, I did not baptize any person from 1956 to 1957. It was just a month to our departure to 26 Mbukpa that I started baptizing people. This was because, I did not want to baptize just anybody, that is, those who do not believe in our Lord Jesus Christ. The first set of converts were baptized between the end of July, 1958 and August of the same year. On this note, therefore, no baptism should be administered to any person who has not believed in God, and does not know what is sin and cannot accept having ever committed any. Before 1958, all the people who came for prayers and to attend services, had to denounce their various churches, cults, secret societies, and other sources of power they believed in. How then could I have baptized such people? It was at 26 Mbukpa Road, Calabar that some people started discarding their rings, bangles, charms, and amulets. If God did not apply His great wisdom, He would not have had any follower on earth. At that time, I could not place my hands on people's head for any reason if he could not confess all his sins. If he had begrudged any person, he had to go first to make peace before I could pray for him.


THE KINGDOM OF THE WORLD HAS BECOME THAT OF GOD AND HIS CHRIST

WHEN IT IS SAID THAT THE KINGDOM OF THE WORLD HAS BECOME THAT OF GOD AND HIS CHRIST, (REV 11:15), YOU ARE THE ONES BEING REFERRED TO.

WHEN IT IS SAID THAT THE KINGDOM OF THE WORLD HAS BECOME THAT OF GOD AND HIS CHRIST, (REV 11:15), YOU ARE THE ONES BEING REFERRED TO. FORMERLY YOU WERE IDOL-WORSHIPPERS BUT TODAY, YOU ARE A BROTHERHOOD MEMBER ENJOYING THE FULL PROTECTION OF THE ALMIGHTY GOD. THIS IS BECAUSE FROM THE VERY DAY YOU BELIEVED AND GOT BAPTIZED, YOU HAD RECEIVED THE HOLY SPIRIT. Therefore, the Kingdom of this world has become that of the Almighty God and His Christ. A true child of God in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star serves God 24 hours without any complaint. Those of the world cannot stay awake one night without complaint.

It is said: "fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear Him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell". (Matt 10:28). Today, all members of Brotherhood

are free from the above warning because they are not under any law. Nothing can kill you anymore. It is very pathetic to see a Brotherhood member going to a necromancer, juju doctor, or taking any form of medication. This is because, Christ having taken possession of you, no other power works in you. If you are involved in any diabolical practices against any person, it cannot be effective. It should be known that, you are not what you think you are. All Brotherhood members are not just human beings, they are "Spirit". It is this "spirit" that does all things. You are only witnesses to the work of the Holy Spirit. Any person who points an accusing finger at you, does so to Our Lord Jesus Christ. To prove this, if you go back to eat the former food which you discarded, you will not be comfortable. Thus, the choice of food to be taken is the entire prerogative of the Holy Spirit indwelling you.

But rest assured that you are in the new world and in the Kingdom of God. You are therefore, free to go about preaching, singing and testifying about it. Read the second bible lesson again.


SIGNIFICANCE OF THE AUGUST PENTECOSTAL

JOHN 1:28 30 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing. 29: The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and Behold the Lamb of God, which takes away the sin of the world. 30: This is of whom I said, After me cometh which is preferred before me: for he is before me.

JOHN 3:28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, said, I am not the Christ, but sent before him. 29: He that has the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled. 30: He must increase, but I must decrease.

Mat 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:

Mat 3:12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.

Mat 3:13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.

Mat 3:14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?

Mat 3:15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.

Mat 3:16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:

Mat 3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

AUGUST IS A MONTH OF GREAT SIGNIFICANCE

AUGUST WAS THE MONTH THAT OUR LORD -JESUS CHRIST WAS REVEALED FOR BEING SO HUMBLE THAT HE HAD TO GO TO JOHN THE BAPTIST FOR BAPTISM BY IMMERSION.

Our Lord Jesus Christ was baptized at the age of 30 (thirty) in the month of August. That was the day He died the first death, and for that reason, the second death had no dominion over Him; and so He resurrected.

AUGUST IS A MONTH OF GREAT SIGNIFICANCE, SO WE ARE NOT ONLY COMMEMORATING THE HISTORIC EXODUS OF THE BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR FROM NO. 8 ETON STREET TO NO 26 MBUKPA ROAD, BUT WE ARE ALSO CELEBRATING BECAUSE IT IS THE MONTH OF CHRIST'S REVELATION.

THE BISHOPS WERE APPOINTED AND ORDAINED IN AUGUST. DO NOT DOUBT THE IMPORTANCE OF THE MONTH OF AUGUST.

August is a month of great significance, so we are not only commemorating the historic exodus of the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star from No. 8 Eton Street to No 26 Mbukpa Road, but we are also celebrating because it is the month of Christ's revelation. August was the month that our Lord -Jesus Christ was revealed for being so humble that He had to go to John the Baptist for baptism by immersion. Before His baptism, Christ had no

disciples. It was after His baptism and revelation that He began to have disciples. Recall what God said about our Lord Jesus Christ that; "And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." Matthew 3: 17. A lot of great and significant events take place in the month of August. Professor Assasu Inyang Ibom's first book was read in the Kingdom in August; THE BISHOPS WERE APPOINTED AND ORDAINED IN AUGUST. DO NOT DOUBT THE IMPORTANCE OF THE MONTH OF AUGUST. Everybody has to appreciate God's kindness to mankind in whatever he does in life. It is through these deeds that salvation is extended to the entire world, in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. THIS IS A VERY LUCKY GENERATION; HENCE, ALL PEOPLE SHOULD GIVE THANKS TO GOD FOR THE ENORMOUS GOODNESS HE HAS SHOWN TO US. This is God's Kingdom and not the kingdom of the world. In this Kingdom, people are not mandated or forced to carry out certain duties or order. RATHER THEY ARE ALLOWED TO LISTEN TO THE SPIRIT AND ADHERE TO WHAT THEY ARE DIRECTED SPIRITUALLY. THAT IS WHAT IS REFERRED TO AS "SHOW LOVE" OR "FREE-WILL OFFERING".BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU

THE BIRTHS OF THESE TWO PERSONALITIES HAVE PUT TROUBLE INTO THE WORLD.

JOHN THE BAPTIST AND OUR LORDJESUS CHRIST

*IF YOU DECIDE TO DECEIVE YOURSELF THAT THE WORD OF GOD WILL NOT STAND, THEN YOU ARE LYING. GOD HAS NOT EMPOWERED ANY MAN. HE ALONE HAS THE POWER AND AUTHORITY. NOT EVEN THE ANGELS CAN EXERCISE ANY POWER. WE ALL HAVE TO GLORIFY GOD.

Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.Brethren, have you heard that? He has said no prophecy of God will not be fulfilled accordingly. Predestination is what is prevailing now. When hopes are exhausted the Redeemer cometh. It is true that the world has lost all hopes about the coming of the Lord and has even concluded that he is not coming anymore. But what about the prophesy that a virgin girl was to bring forth the Messiah? The Messiah came when all hopes about Him had run out. But eventually He did come. Truly, brethren, all prophecies

from God whether they are yet to be given or have been given already, will be fulfilled.When you stand, derail or fall you are doing so unto God. It is only God’s will alone that has to be fulfilled. All those who lament, those who boast, those who are proud, those who are sorrowful, those who cry, they are all foolish. Have you therefore not seen how this kingdom has confounded the whole world? The births of these two personalities have put trouble into the world. Herod himself beheaded John. He had gone to places in search of John. Because Herod could not arrest or find John, he sent the assassins to him. IF YOU DECIDE TO DECEIVE YOURSELF THAT THE WORD OF GOD WILL NOT STAND, THEN YOU ARE LYING. GOD HAS NOT EMPOWERED ANY MAN. HE ALONE HAS THE POWER AND AUTHORITY. NOT EVEN THE ANGELS CAN EXERCISE ANY POWER. WE ALL HAVE TO GLORIFY GOD.WE IN BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR ARE THOSE WHO WORSHIP GOD IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH. WE ARE THOSE WHO REVERENCE GOD. WE ARE THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN GOD AND TO US GOD IS THE FIRST AND THE LAST. WE ARE NOT SADUCEESSES, PUBLICANS, NEITHER ARE WE PHARISEES, NOR HEATHENS. WE ARE THE KINGDOM OF GOD. WE ARE THOSE THAT WORSHIP THE TRUE GOD. WE ARE FOLLOWING GOD FOOLISHLY, LIKE SHEEP BECAUSE

WE KNOW THAT WE DO NOT EXIST AT ALL, AND THAT WE DO NOT HAVE EYES TO SEE, NOR THE ABILITY TO DO ANYTHING. ONLY GOD HAS THE OVERALL ENERGY TO DO EVERYTHING. IT WAS EVEN WRITTEN ABOUT US THAT WE SHALL FOLLOW HIM JUST AS WE ARE DOING.God saves us by grace not by our good works, indeed not by any parameter but by sheer love and mercy. Know it very clearly that before the foundation of the world was laid, the kingdom had existed and it shall forever exist. Read the Second Bible

LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU

THE BAPTISM OF JOHN WAS FOR REPENTANCE, WHILE THAT OF BROTHERHOOD IS FOR FORGIVENESS AND REMITTANCE OF SINS. I THANK GOD FOR THE BAPTISM OF JOHN THE BAPTIST, BECAUSE IT BROUGHT MAN TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUE GOD.

Acts 2:38-39

"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call."

The Need For Repentance

The above lesson is applicable to Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. As stated earlier, the baptism of John was for repentance, while that of Brotherhood is for forgiveness and remittance of sins. I thank God for the baptism of John the Baptist, because it brought man to the knowledge of the true God. Through his baptism, people believed in our Lord Jesus Christ. After the Baptism of remittance of sins, the Holy Spirit is given to such a believer. In fact, this promise has been made manifest in the children of Brotherhood. Whoever baptizes you, be he a child or an adult as long as he is a baptized Brotherhood, your sins are remitted. However, if the baptism is administered by any other person who is not in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, it changes to that of repentance. Every other baptism in the world is undertaken for repentance; so that those who accept such baptism may believe in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star as the New Kingdom of God.

Simon Peter was baptized seven times before he met our Lord Jesus Christ. If he had not received the baptism of John, he would not have known our Lord Jesus Christ. After the era of our Lord Jesus Christ, I have not seen or heard of anybody who truly baptized people for the remission of his/her

sins. Every person seems to be baptized so that their problems may vanish. Henceforth, let it be known that if you force someone, by much persuasion to be baptized, it means that you are the one who had accepted the baptism and not him/her.

The best thing to do is to preach the word of God to someone. When the person listens, and by what he hears, asks how he/she can be saved, you then have the chance to inform him to confess, repent and refrain from all sins; then he will be baptized. Let him know that after the baptism, he will receive the Holy Spirit. Consequently, if he believes and accepts baptism, he is saved. Somebody who is entangled in so many secret societies and cults, and who is deeply involved in traditional medicine and occultism may become bored about his situation. If he comes to you to know what he may do to be saved, you can tell him that, unless he forgoes all those former entanglements, repents and baptizes, he cannot receive salvation. If he believes and baptizes his sins will be remitted and he will be saved.


THE REIGN OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.

Do not argue with any person about the scriptures. Any person who argues that God is in existence, that our Lord Jesus Christ came and that the Holy Spirit is in existence, tell him to forget about it.

Tell him to get himself ready for baptism. Do not take him to baptism in water near Ambo Street, so that he might say that you have probably introduced incredible things unto the water. Take him to water distant from Ambo. Let him take the baptism there. Provided such a person confesses all his sins and denounces his membership of secret societies. He should as well empty his heart of all grudges against people. He should denounce and right away disassociate himself of juju and all forms of concoctions. Let him throw himself into absolute contrition over his sinfulness then get himself baptized. He will certainly receive the power of the Holy Spirit.

This is the only way. There is no other way. This is the reign of the Holy Spirit. It is impossible that you can pass through the windows and enter the house. You cannot take a roundabout road to get into the house. It is imperative that you must pass through the gateway. Then the great usher will open the door for you. If this direct

way were to be of no importance, why did Our Lord Jesus Christ go to John?

Our Lord Jesus Christ in childhood was taken to the temple for blessing according to the order of Moses. Further, according to the law of Abraham, He was circumcised. Yet the two systems were not relevant for Him. In order to fulfill that which was written in the scriptures, He went on His own volition to John and requested for water baptism. Then He was baptized through immersion by John. John argued that He should rather baptize Him. But Our Lord Jesus Christ said, "do it now, for so it is right we should do this." (Matt 3:15).

This can clearly show you that baptism is very necessary; it is the only key which can unlock the way to the Father. There is no other possible way. It was through this way of baptism that Our Lord Jesus Christ achieved the divine grace, that as He came out of water He was overshadowed by the Holy Spirit. The voice came out proclaiming: "This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased, hear ye Him."

For a period of 29 years, He was in Jerusalem, going about; no person knew Him and had not even a disciple. His name was not heard abroad. From the moment He went through the normal process of baptism and received the Holy Spirit, His name generated an echo of

prominence. Then He started the work. The Holy Spirit led Him to the wilderness and He started doing marvelous works. He started raising the dead, making the blind to see, deaf to hear, the dumb to speak and the lame to walk.

Now you say you want to serve God. You want to be the minister of God, you will first go to Canada, Britain, America, India and the rest of the countries in the world to study. I ask you, is God's work ever subjected to human studies or learnings? You go to university to study. Stop studying again and worrying yourself about it. Go and process yourself through baptism and receive the Holy Spirit as a gift. Right from that moment you go through this, you will preach the gospel; you will heal; you will see God and know Him and His power. Right now you are arguing like a foolish person. A person on top of a palm tree says the palm fruit is not ripe but you stay on the ground and say it is very ripe. Are you a sensible person?

A person who has been baptized and received the Holy Spirit, tells you that he has seen God face to face. That he has seen Our Lord Jesus Christ; that he has also seen the Holy Spirit and the host of angels, you argue with him and hush him to shut up that Jesus Christ has not yet come; nor has the Holy Spirit. You are still on the ground.

I do not even talk about those people who pretend to be baptized by pouring water in the basin, and sprinkling it on people's foreheads. What is the meaning of that? I would not like to talk about those who wrap a flag around people's heads and describe this to be baptism. Can this be found in the Bible?

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..........

IF BAPTISM WERE TO BE OF NO IMPORTANCE, OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST COULD NOT HAVE REQUESTED JOHN THE BAPTIST TO GET HIM BAPTIZED.

Read Matthew 3:13-15.

Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. But John, forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness. Then he suffered him.

OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WAS BAPTIZED AT THE AGE OF 30 (THIRTY) IN THE MONTH OF AUGUST. THAT WAS THE DAY HE DIED THE FIRST DEATH, AND FOR THAT REASON, THE SECOND DEATH HAD NO DOMINION OVER HIM; AND SO HE RESURRECTED. That is what is applicable to all the children of God. Death has no power over them. What you call death is no death but a spiritual transfer. The

first death is that day you repent and completely refrain from all sins and get baptized. When you are baptized (by immersion) and do not go back to your former vices, but surrender yourself to the service of God, you cannot die anymore. This is because, you have no more association with the agents of death. What are the agents of death? They are fornication, lies, stealing, murdering, backbiting and many other vices.

All those who are still lustful of the world and the fullness thereof, in spite of their baptism, shall be damned. OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, FOR INSTANCE, WAS A QUALIFIED CARPENTER FROM HIS YOUTHFUL AGE TO THE AGE OF THIRTY. ALL ALONG, HE WAS DOING THE CARPENTRY WORK, BUT AFTER HIS BAPTISM, HE RECEIVED THE HOLY SPIRIT WITHOUT MEASURE; AND SINCE THEN, HE DID NOT GO BACK TO CARPENTRY. HE CONTINUED WITH THE WORK OF GOD HAVING SURRENDERED HIMSELF FULLY TO GOD. UP TILL THIS MOMENT, HE HAS BEEN IN ACTIVE SERVICE WITHOUT SLUMBERING. THIS IS THE MODEL FOR ALL BELIEVERS.

YOU MAY RECALL THAT WHEN OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WAS NOT BAPTIZED, HE WAS NOT TEMPTED BY SATAN. IMMEDIATELY AFTER HIS BAPTISM, HE WAS TAKEN TO THE WILDERNESS WHERE HE FASTED FORTY DAYS AND NIGHTS. THERE AND THEN SATAN TEMPTED HIM. (READ MATT 4:1-10). IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST COULD NOT SUCCUMB TO THESE TEMPTATIONS BECAUSE HE WAS LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. NOTE VERY IMPORTANTLY THAT THIS HOLY SPIRIT WAS BESTOWED UPON HIM JUST AFTER HIS BAPTISM. THEREFORE, WHEN SATAN DEPARTED FROM HIM, HE WAS MINISTERED UNTO BY THE ANGELS. (Matt 4:11). Similarly, all those who had decided to forsake all

forms of sins and get baptized shall also be ministered unto by the angels. On the other hand, those who have refused to forsake all forms of sins and get baptized shall be damned.

Henceforth, before any person is baptized, he must read this sermon and be prepared to refrain from all vices and evil practices which are not in consonance with the tenets of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. If this is not done, your baptism should be regarded as an ordinary bath in the water. However, if you hearken to this teaching, you will be free from all bondage of sin and satanism. You will then become the real Child of God. Romans 6:2 asks: "How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?" Our Lord Jesus Christ died once and thereafter He lives. Those who are dead and can never resurrect are those who have never been baptized. The root of death without resurrection can be traced to the wrong preaching given to new converts - that once they are baptized, all their problems are gone. They are not told to repent and refrain from sins. These new converts therefore, go in for baptism as though they are going to the hospital or to the necromancer. Whosoever knows and confesses his or her sins, repents and is baptized is saved. This is because his sins, having been forgiven on earth, are forgiven also in heaven. Whether you are a royal highness, king, queen, pope, archbishop, millionaire, billionaire,

general or field marshal in the armed forces, you have to abide by His teachings. Apart from this, you have yourself to blame.

Denounce Your Old Ways Before Baptism

The two baptisms - Repentance and Holy Spirit - are very important. If you undergo these two types of baptisms, you will have nothing to do with anger, fighting, bearing malice or anything that will cause discrimination, discomfort and segregation. This is why some people say that they are baptized into Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, yet they can neither pray, preach nor practice any sermon. In addition to baptism of repentance, if you had received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, you will not gossip, backbite, tell lies, indulge in idolatry, commit adultery, smoke tobacco and take all types of drugs. Do not ask any person to rush for baptism so that his sickness, court case or other problems may be cast away. Let the person confess all his or her sins; repent and refrain from such sins, then receive baptism. Thereafter such a person is washed clean and free from all judgement in heaven and on earth.

If you know you have committed too many sins and cannot bear the burden of them any longer, take refuge in our Lord Jesus Christ. This could only be done through repentance, refraining from, and

abhorring sins. After this, you will have to accept baptism as administered in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star . No prayer or fasting can save you without the above stated method. This is confirmed by the words of our Lord Jesus Christ as recorded in Matt 11:28: "Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest".

Most people in various denominations baptize converts with the least opportunity. This should not be so. In Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, for instance, I did not baptize any person from 1956 to 1957. It was just a month to our departure to 26 Mbukpa that I started baptizing people. This was because, I did not want to baptize just anybody, that is, those who do not believe in our Lord Jesus Christ. The first set of converts were baptized between the end of July, 1958 and August of the same year. On this note, therefore, no baptism should be administered to any person who has not believed in God, and does not know what is sin and cannot accept having ever committed any. Before 1958, all the people who came for prayers and to attend services, had to denounce their various churches, cults, secret societies, and other sources of power they believed in. How then could I have baptized such people? It was at 26 Mbukpa Road, Calabar that some people started discarding their rings, bangles, charms, and amulets. If God did not

apply His great wisdom, He would not have had any follower on earth. At that time, I could not place my hands on people's head for any reason if he could not confess all his sins. If he had begrudged any person, he had to go first to make peace before I could pray for him. At that time, whoever did not denounce his charms and cults, I did not pray for such a fellow.

The Gift Of Holy Spirit

The spirit, blood and water move and work in unison. (1 John 5:8). Most people in the prison yard and those in different precarious situations are being disturbed by the Holy Spirit. If the Holy Spirit is in you, you will be punished for any sin you commit; and if you continue in sin, your end is death. In this wise therefore, once a sick person confesses all his sins truly and repents wholeheartedly, all his sicknesses will vanish completely.

Many people are plagued with various problems. The cause of their mishaps could be traced to the fact that they are not baptized. This fact could be confirmed in Acts 2:38 where Peter advised the men of Judea during Pentecost to "repent and be baptized everyone of you in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost". Similarly any person who does not possess the Holy Spirit must be baptized. So that he may receive it. The churches do not possess the Holy Spirit, yet, they claim to be God's children who are serving Him. How can you be a child of God or serve Him without the Holy Spirit? Those who must serve God satisfactorily, must serve Him in Spirit and truth (John 4:23).

Most people say they do not want a spiritual church, but they crave for the "real church" or

what they call orthodox churches. Consequently, you can see their failure and perdition and how they die daily. As you go about praying for people and giving them money and other gifts, can such things save them? Though you may buy a car, a house or other things to a person or even train him in the university, he cannot receive salvation unless he confesses, repents and be baptized as is done in Brotherhood. Someone may pray for another and all his sickness, poverty and his hardship vanish; but if he does not possess the Holy Spirit, he is not saved. It was for this reason that our Lord Jesus commissioned His disciples to "go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost...." (Matt 28:19). Therefore, anyone who realizes his or her sins and repents and gets baptized is saved and will be free from any judgement. On the other hand, he that feels he or she has no cause for repentance and subsequent baptism is condemned and nothing can save him. If he likes, he may distribute all his wealth to the poor and be charitable to all. At the end, he must perish because he believes not in God.

The gate-way to this Kingdom is by confession, repenting and refraining from all sins, and then baptism (by immersion). As you emerge from the water, you have received the Holy Spirit. If anybody had not

confessed, repented and refrained from all his former vices and evil ways, do not baptize him. If you do, it will be of no use, because the new spirit will be at war with his "customers" (sins). He therefore, will not stand fast in faith to God. From today, if any person desires to be baptized, ask him or her to confess about all his cults, secret societies, different sources of power and wealth. In other words, all his sins must be confessed before you baptize him. Any person who does not accept that he is a sinner, do not baptize him. On the contrary, all those who realize their sinfulness and seek for baptism should be baptized. Do not beg or plead with any person to accept baptism. The first lesson below emphasizes this point.


…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

MY MISSION

EMULATE ME:

Many times, I have told you that mine is leadership by example. I do not teach one thing and do another. I have several times told you to emulate me. EVER SINCE I CAME INTO THIS EARTH PLANE, MY TARGET IS TO ACCOMPLISH MY ASSIGNMENT OF CHANGING MAN. AND I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH SIN. I HAVE NEVER COMMITTED SIN.

MY LIFE STYLE IS A ONE WAY TRAFFIC-RIGHTEOUSNESS TO THE CORE. I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE FAITH OR HOPE IN ANY MAN OR THE MATERIAL THINGS OF THIS WORLD.

THIS IS SO BECAUSE I AM NOT OF THE WORLD. GETTING BAPTIZED INTO THIS KINGDOM IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO REFRAIN FROM SINS BECAUSE YOU HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE ATTENDANT EFFECTS. YOU WOULD NOT TOY WITH THIS RARE OPPORTUNITY ACCORDED YOU.

God would have used you to accomplish great task, if you had refrained from sins. He would have indwelled and used you to His glory for your salvation and blessing. You suffer because you are so much in love with the world at the expense of the love of God. Let the Holy Spirit direct you, and you will not be the same again. Remember you have been advised:

Those who have ears let them hear. May God bless His Holy words. Amen.

MY MISSION

It is imperative that, we are baptized, because without baptism, no one is worthy of the kingdom of God. This explains why people like John the Baptist, Jesus and others embraced baptism without delay. In fact, baptism constitutes mortifying the flesh, and being made pure. So baptism is very significant in the life of everyone. A local adage has it that, a blind man cannot lead a fellow blind man. Imagine someone who baptized many people but does not have baptismal card himself.

If Christ did not die, He would not have been able to perform miraculous works, neither would He have been called, Christ. He would not have had the Holy Spirit in Him. And it is your failure to die and resurrect with Christ through baptism, that you are unable to perform any miracle in the kingdom. Since some people do not have baptismal certificate, they cannot inform the people they baptized about the significance of baptism, and the importance of baptismal certificate. They do not know that anyone who has been baptized has died and resurrected with Christ, therefore such is justified. So any one who has been baptized and made to resurrect with Christ is justified and such has to be glorified alongside with Christ.

The baptism of John has repentance as its aim. THE BAPTISM OF JOHN IS PERFORMED SO THAT YOU SHOULD BELIEVE FERVENTLY IN OUR LORD CHRIST JESUS, WHILE THE BAPTISM OF CHRIST ON THE OTHER HAND, CONNOTES THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS, SO THAT YOU MIGHT RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT. No matter the extent of your sinfulness, when once you confess your sins and are immersed into water in the name of baptism, you are one with Christ, justified, and are given the Holy Spirit as a gift, for you have died and left behind the materials things of the world.

THE ESSENCE OF BAPTISM:

If you go back to sinful acts after baptism, you are made to confront tribulations and sufferings. The question is, what then does your baptism entail? I preached this to bring you to the accurate knowledge of truth. An adage has it that an orphan uses both his head and hand to erect a fence. Some of you do not know what it entails to indulge in sins after baptism, that is why it is not uncommon to hear you testifying and confessing of committing sins everyday even after Confession. This very gospel needs to be read by every one in order to know the significance of baptism. At baptism and upon the confessions of your sins, all your sins are forgiven.

Anyone who fails to be baptized cannot be saved. Mortify the flesh for the spirit to take dominion over you. All those who are Christ’s followers have seen their nakedness, for they all have realized the fact that there is no righteous man on earth due to the fact that, we were conceived of iniquity and born of unrighteousness. And it is the baptism preached in this very sermon that can save us and make us pure and worthy of God. This is because it is after baptism that we are blessed with the Holy Spirit as a gift. This gift is meant for us and our offspring. But we cannot achieve such due to our indulgence in sins after baptism.

MY MISSION

I do not come so that you might be unhealthy, sick, condemned, lack and die. Rather, I come to feed you with the accurate knowledge of truth and I have done same openly. Therefore, if you perish as a result of not imbibing the truth, your blood is on you. Since it is the patient that always seek for the physician, anyone who knows that he needs baptism must seek for it. And anyone who knows the right thing that should be done and fails to do it, has him or herself to blame, because he or she is condemned. Eventhough the money and wealth of such people are distributed to people along the street, they would all perish.

Most of the lunatics in the psychiatric hospital are not actually mad. Rather, they are tormented by the spirit. And would only be made whole if only the person accept baptism. The same thing happens with those in the prison custody, because as a result of their not being baptized, the spirit in them instructs them to do things abnormally. Similar thing is happening in the hospitals. And if these people are made to confess their sins and accept baptism, most of them would be freed.

We are enjoined that the flesh uses its lust wage war against the spirit. And the spirit too in response also wages War against the flesh. So both of them are incompatible. It is the war waged by the flesh against the spirit that makes people behave like mad, sick persons and prisoners. And once you accept baptism, you have killed the flesh leaving the spirit to exists alone in you. And by so doing, you are saved and made normal. Baptism does not provide you with any material thing, instead it gives you eternal life. And once you accept it, you are justified.


THE GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT:*Mohammed affirmed that it is the Holy Spirit that has the right of leadership. Our Lord Jesus Christ also said that, the Holy Spirit of Truth would lead the world, and in conformity with this promise, He has come to lead you. Have you received Him by mortifying the flesh? Note that the era of flesh had since passed. This is the era of the leadership of the Holy Spirit.

GALATIANS 5:24

And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

THE GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT:

If you do not die with Christ, how can you resurrect with him. If you do not resurrect with Him, how can you live with Him. If you do not live with Him, how then can you have eternal life as expected of you? If Christ did not receive the Holy Spirit through baptism, how then would he have been able to perform great and wonderful works? We all are true witnesses to the fact that, Jesus Christ was led by the Holy Spirit And any one who accept baptism has put on Christ, therefore he has to do things according to The dictates of the spirit alone. And by then you are led by Christ alone. That is why you are hardly harmed when the spirit is ruling

over you. You are easily harmed when the spirit is killed as a result of your indulgence in sins after baptism. And this constitutes the problems and troubles faced by the members of this kingdom.

Baptism is the greatest of all things found in heaven and on earth. Because it is what changes, cleanses, and brings forgiveness to man. That is why anyone who is baptisied and made one with Christ, is hardly harmed.

BAPTISM FOR REPENTANCE

The magnitude of your problems not withstanding, if you confess and repent of your sins and accept baptism your problems will cease immediately. This is because baptism after repentance is a means for forgiveness of sin. This therefore, accounts for why you should note that except one confesses his sins, believes in God and accepts baptism, such person is condemned. It is needless for one who has not mortified his flesh with Christ to defend himself. And to such a person, there is no salvation for him. Our Lord Jesus Christ was the first man to die, and resurrect. So, He has no business with the second death. That is why we must all join him in the first death, so that we would all resurrect with him. Expect you die with Him through the mortification of the flesh, you cannot resurrect and without resurrection you have perished. A lot of people do not believe in

resurrection. You erroneously believe that there is no resurrection. Indeed, there is resurrection, for after all the children of God cannot die. There is no other death for them except to mortify the lust of the flesh and its affection. If you do this, you will live forever without the fear of death. You will recall that when that young man demanded Christ to permit him to go and bury his father first before coming to join Him, Christ told him that he should leave the dead to bury their dead. (Luke 9:60). This he said because as many as follow Him, there is no death for them. He is every thing to them.

Do not misconstrue the mortification of the flesh to mean murder or death on the cross. It does not mean you committing suicide. It rather implies repentance from all manners of sin. It is a complete change from vice to virtue. In so doing, you would no more have anything to do with the world but rather you would walk within the tenets of the kingdom of God. You have been singing the spiritual chorus that says:

'The spirit of living God come and lead us a right,' do you really mean it? He has come to lead, teach, change and salvage but the question is, are you ready for Him?

Mohammed affirmed that it is the Holy Spirit that has the right of leadership. Our Lord Jesus Christ

also said that, the Holy Spirit of Truth would lead the world, and in conformity with this promise, He has come to lead you. Have you received Him by mortifying the flesh? Note that the era of flesh had since passed. This is the era of the leadership of the Holy Spirit. No other force is in operation now other than the Holy Spirit. He is in all things and He is everything. You would now realise that Christ is the ruling force now. We are all one in Him and as such, we are joint - heirs in the kingdom and so we are ruling with Him. There is no more division, we now do everything in common for we are all one. The flesh does not exist any more. Our Lord Jesus Christ has taken dominion over all things. Note, I am not saying that everybody has this spirit. It is limited to those who have mortified the flesh. You should recall that during the time of John the Baptist, many people were baptised but out of the lot, it was only Our Lord Jesus Christ that the Holy Spirit descended upon. This therefore confirms the fact that the Holy Spirit is for those who were predestined to have it. As many as have decided to work for Him, definitely, he will bestow the spirit on them. Without the spirit, none can function effectively. The spirit is the separational force in man; without it, you cannot perform. As many as have mortified the flesh, they have put on Christ. They are no more functioning independent of Him, rather, He monitors their activities and indeed use them to His glory.

These are the people who have died with him and also resurrected with Him. And to them, there is no death. They are one with Christ. That is why, in spite of the population of the world, all those that have this hope are one. We have now put on Christ, all problems are solved and above all, we are fortified. After all, Christ is in perfect control of everything in the world. Read the golden text again.


THE SEARCH FOR GOD

Many little children today know the Almighty God. Aged people have also known God. Even the arch-argumentators have now accepted the present manifestation of God. There are women who are stricken in age and do not really see things clearly but they have now seen God and have accepted Him.

A NEIGHBOR WILL NOT TEACH NEIGHBOR, NEITHER WILL BROTHER, SAYING KNOW THE LORD, BECAUSE EVERYONE HAS SEEN HIM AND ALL HAVE KNOWN HIM. (Heb 8:11).

In the time past, people searched for God in the moon, star, sun, etc. They went to Jerusalem, Jericho, to mountains, inside water, and

everywhere in search of God, but they could not see Him, it is for this reason that our Lord Jesus Christ made a far-reaching statement saying: "Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the lightening cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." (Matt 24:26-27). DO NOT ADVISE ANY PERSON TO COME TO CALABAR THAT HE/SHE WILL SEE OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. DO NOT GO THERE, IF ANYBODY TELLS YOU ABOUT GOD, DO NOT GO THERE. FOR THE NEW COVENANT DOES NOT TELL YOU THAT UNLESS YOU GO TO INDIA, ENGLAND, ISRAEL OR NIGERIA, YOU WILL NOT SEE GOD. HE IS EVERYWHERE. Whether you are in India, England or America, and a person comes to you, tell him to kneel down, confess all his sins and denounce all his membership of secret societies. Let him become truly repentant and take him into the water for baptism by immersion. AS SOON AS HE EMERGES FROM THE WATER, HE WILL RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT. THIS IS A CHALLENGE I HAVE THROWN TO ALL THE INHABITANTS OF THE WORLD.

If you claim to be a doctor, there is no argument about this. But kneel down, confess your sins and become contrite and repentant, accepting the baptism. After you have gone inside the water

three times and come out, see whether you will not speak a different tongue.

IF YOU CLAIM TO BE A MEMBER OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, WHETHER YOU ARE A POPE OR A BISHOP, OR AN ORDINARY MEMBER, ONCE YOU CONFESS YOUR SINS AND BECOME REPENTANT, GO IN FOR WATER BAPTISM THREE TIMES THEN COME OUT. YOU WILL NEVER FAIL TO SEE A GREAT DIFFERENCE IN YOURSELF. You say you are a great society man; that you can go into the Sun, the moon and star; that you can go into water and anywhere. There is no argument about this. But first come to the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star and confess all your sins. Denounce your membership of the secret societies and become truly repentant. Go three times into the water for baptism, when you come out, you will see a remarkable difference in yourself.

Do not begin to contemplate in your heart saying, "I had already been baptized in the church where I am a member. I am an Elder." When you were an Elder did you receive the Holy Spirit? You say, "I am a Reverend Gentleman," when you were made a Reverend, did you receive the power of the Holy Spirit? You claim you have established a church, when you established, did you ever receive the Holy Spirit?

It is a covenant that a neighbor will not teach a neighbor saying, "know God." Every person, from smallest to the greatest, will know me." (Heb 8:10-11). Never enter into foolishness of trying to teach people to know God. Whenever God makes His covenant, He stamps and seals it. If you like to go to the Sun, or go to right or left, or anywhere there is only one way of salvation. That is, if you are not born of water and the Holy Spirit, you will never see God, you can perform nothing effectively without the Holy Spirit. You will never possess wisdom and you will be incapable of doing anything without the Holy Spirit.

HE HAD SAID THAT UNLESS A PRECIOUS BLOOD WAS SHED, I WILL NOT COME BACK AND I WILL NEVER FORGIVE PEOPLE OF THEIR INIQUITIES. OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST SAID, "IT IS EXPEDIENT THAT I GO AWAY, FOR IF I GO NOT AWAY, THE COMFORTER WILL NOT COME, BUT IF I GO, I WILL SEND HIM UNTO YOU." (JOHN 16:7). GOD HAS NEVER DISAPPOINTED ANY PERSON; AND HE WILL NEVER DISAPPOINT ANY PERSON.

At one time He said if a seed of corn does not fall on the ground it will remain alone. (John 12:24). BUT AFTER IT HAD DIED, IT GERMINATES AND BRINGS SO MANY FRUITS. HAVE YOU NOT REALIZED THIS? HAVE YOU NOT REALIZED HOW THE DEATH OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST HAS

YIELDED SO MANY FRUITS UNTO THE WORLD? That is why, in spite of the long stay of the disciples with Our Lord Jesus Christ, they could not understand Him. Because they were not endowed with the power of the Holy Spirit. From time to time they requested to increase their faith. But our Lord Jesus told them that He would not do anything until He was absolutely veiled with power.

In a state of anxiety one day, Philip said, "Lord show us the Father then we shall be satisfied." (John 14:8). This is because they often took pleasure in hearing Our Lord Jesus Christ referring to all his performances to the Father. He would continually say the Father did this, the Father did that. They were confounded, and curiously would like to see and know that Father. But they would not see Him because flesh and blood cannot see Him.


IT IS THE IGNORANCE OF THIS WORD OF GOD THAT PLUNGES THE WHOLE WORLD INTO DIFFICULTY AND TRIBULATION. GOD IS TRUE AND HIS WORDS ARE TRUE.

Hebrews 8:10-11

"For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord: I will put my laws into their mind, and

write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people.

And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest."

Brethren, this is briefly what we are going to reveal to you this morning. It is going to be a very short gospel. But it is a gospel for the Thomases. It is for those who continue doubting the Almighty God. It is also for those who continue to say that God is not in existence.

I want you and all the inhabitants of this world to desist from argument but urgently get into practicing the word of God for this is the time.

Any person who denies Our Lord Jesus Christ; and refuses to adhere to the practice of His teachings, will have himself to blame. He who also says that God has not yet come is existing in delusion. Besides, he is a child of perdition.

He who also says that there is no Holy Spirit in existence heads toward destruction. It is incumbent on all the inhabitants of the world that they should practice this gospel. If you are unable to practice any other word of God, make sure you practice this very one. It is the ignorance of this

word of God that plunges the whole world into difficulty and tribulation. God is true and His words are true.

God is not like a human being. Once He has spoken, His words must come to manifestation. It is the promise He has made from the beginning of time.

The creations of God cannot know God. The reason very many people fall apart and exist in delusion about God is that they are living in flesh and blood. This is why it is necessary that this gospel must be sent to the four corners of the world, so that no person will have anything with which to defend himself.

Knowledge cannot compel any person to know God. High education is not a means through which anyone can know God. There is no secret society which will educate you on the knowledge of God. No necromancer can know God. There is only one sure way to the knowledge of God. That is, you have to confess all sins, you have to denounce all the evil deeds you have been committing. You have to become truly contrite and repentant

and then get baptism by immersion. After this you will receive the Holy Spirit as a gift.

Go and announce this to churches to conform to the practices of the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ. Tell them to be contrite of their vices. That they should refrain from fornication and adultery, from preparation of juju; and they should love one another. If not, they will not receive the Holy Spirit as the gift of God.

At any moment in time, let any person confess, and not continue in his sins and also be baptized, he will receive the Holy Spirit as a gift. If a person does not accept this, allow him to go his own way. Do not childishly discuss with him. For if you do not have this Holy Spirit, you cannot know Him. You cannot conceive that He is in existence.

In the past people thought money could be used as an instrument through which they could get nearer to God. They glorify their high educational qualification. People boast over exalted positions in life. But today, the wind of change has blown and created phenomenal changes in the world to make the Holy Spirit the only issue for boasting. The Governments in the world also fail because they do not possess the operative virtues of the Holy Spirit. The churches also fail because they do not possess nor believe in the Holy Spirit.

All companies, firms and corporations in the world fail because they neither possess nor believe in the Holy Spirit. All institutions of learning have failed because they have not believed in the Holy Spirit, and do not have the Holy Spirit. Indeed, traders, farmers and people in all walks of life, fail because they do not believe in the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is that cornerstone rejected by the builders, which has become head of the corner and is esteemed as a wonderful thing. (Mark 12:10).

Any person without the Holy Spirit is eternally dead. Indeed, possession of the Holy Spirit does not consist of running the race but depends on the mercy of God. It was the eternal covenant with the house of Israel. He said this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days. (Heb 8:10). We are those children of God, the beneficiaries of this promise.

It is a surprising thing to people, if you tell them that you have seen God face to face; that you have seen our Lord Jesus Christ and you have also seen the Holy Spirit. Indeed they will burst into laughter. But heaven and earth, will pass away until everything is consummated. (Matt 24:35/Mark 13:31). Are these words not fulfilled in your midst today?

ALL SHALL COME UNDER ONE FLOCK, AND THERE SHALL BE ONLY ONE SHEPHERD

THE MOST IMPORTANT ASSIGNMENT

** THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO GO INTO THE WORLD AND INFORM THOSE WHO HAVE NEVER HEARD ABOUT ME AND BCS, TELL THEM THE TEACHINGS IN THIS KINGDOM.

ALL THE PROBLEMS AND TRIBULATIONS YOU HEARD FROM ALL THE NATIONS ARE BECAUSE THEY HAVE OF THEIR REFUSAL TO SURRENDER AND RECOGNIZE THE PRESENCE OF GOD ON EARTH.

IT IS YOUR DUTY TO GO THERE AND TELL THEM ABOUT THESE TEACHINGS. DO NOT TELL SOMEBODY TO COME TO BCS, FOR EVERYBODY IS A MEMBER OF BCS.

The time is very short. GOING ON EVANGELICAL TOURS IN AND AROUND YOUR LOCALITIES WITH ONLY YOUR GROUP MEMBERS IS MEANINGLESS. YOU ARE TO GO WHERE THIS GOSPEL OF TRUTH IS NOT HEARD YET AND SPREAD THE TRUTH TO THE PEOPLE, TELLING THEM TO BE BAPTIZED AND HAVE THEIR PROBLEMS SOLVED AND THEIR SUPPLICATIONS ANSWERED. TELL THE WORLD ABOUT THE GLORY OF GOD ON EARTH.

*** BAPTISM HAS A DEEPER MEANING AND EXPLANATION THAN HOW YOU HAVE TURNED IT TO BE. BAPTISM IN OTHER WORDS MEANS THAT ONCE YOU BELIEVE AND YOU ARE BAPTIZED YOU WILL BE SAVED. I know you cannot go to

the big personalities in the world and tell them to denounce their membership in the secret societies and follow God.

IT IS ONLY THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO CAN CHANGE THEM.

If you are in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star and you still indulge yourself in secret societies, know that you have no place in this kingdom.

You have heard the testimony of one of my sons this morning, (March 1st. 1992). He is a member of a State House of Assembly. He does not have any protection for himself, as is expected of someone in the corridors of power would want to do. He has surrendered all his entire life to God to protect him.

I have told you that Spain, and China, Japan and several other countries of the world have not heard about Brotherhood of the Cross and Star and the teaching of God. But you are still moving around the country, claiming to do the Father's work-WHEN THESE GOSPELS HAVE NOT REACHED THESE PLACES. GO TO THESE PLACES AND TELL THEM ABOUT THIS GOD AND THE KINGDOM. IT IS NOT THAT SOME OF THESE COUNTRIES HAVE NOT HEARD ABOUT THIS KINGDOM AND THE TEACHINGS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, BUT THEY NEED SOMEBODY TO EXPLAIN TO THEM BETTER AND PUT THEM RIGHT.

SOME OF YOU DO NOT KNOW THAT THE POURING OF LIBATION IS AGAINST THE INJUNCTION OF GOD. When a child is given birth to or when someone dies, these rites would be performed to appease the earth goddess. ALL THESE SUPERSTITIONS ARE NOT IN CONFORMITY WITH THE DOCTRINES OF GOD AND BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR.

IN BCS, THE MOMENT ONE GIVES BIRTH TO A CHILD OR GOES ON A SPIRITUAL TRANSFER, (I.E. DIES), ALL WE NEED TO DO IS TO REJOICE AND CELEBRATE A LOVE FEAST. THE FOOD OF THE SPIRIT IS LOVE, MEEKNESS, MERCY, PATIENCE, AND REFRAINING FROM ALL MANNERS OF SIN, WHILE FOOD OF THE FLESH IS TEA, YAM, RICE, GARI, ETC.

WHY THE WORLD GOVERNMENTS HAVE FALLEN IS BECAUSE EVERYBODY THINKS ONLY ABOUT HOW TO HAVE MONEY AND ALL THE THINGS OF WORLD. BECAUSE OF WORLDLY THINGS YOU HAVE FORSAKEN SPIRITUAL POWER. THINGS CAN NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN IN THE WORLD.

During the era of Our Lord Jesus Christ, He appointed some people to take charge of spiritual aspects, while others were assigned to other necessities of life. If you do not have the Holy Spirit, you cannot preach the gospel. Those who have the Holy Spirit in them are those assigned with the spiritual aspects of God.

*** IT IS ONLY BCS MEMBERS, THE WORLD OVER WHO ARE COMMISSIONED WITH THE MANDATE TO GO TO ALL THE CORNERS OF THE WORLD AND SPREAD THESE GOOD TEACHINGS OF GOD. THOSE WHO WILL BELIEVE AND GET BAPTIZED WILL RECEIVE THE SALVATION OF GOD. IT IS NOT BY FIGHTING AND QUARRELING AND BY KILLING ONE ANOTHER.

GO OUT AND SPREAD THE TEACHINGS OF GOD. TELL THEM TO BELIEVE AND GET BAPTIZED AND FREE THEMSELVES FROM THE WRATH OF GOD.

To preach to someone who has the Holy Spirit but is not baptized, is like pouring water on the back of a hen or giving a blind man a mirror to look at himself.

GO TO THE WORLD AND PREACH THE GOSPEL OF GOD. YOU ARE NOT TOLD TO GO AND TELL SOMEONE TO LEAVE HIS CHURCH. RATHER YOU ARE TOLD TO PREACH THE GOSPEL, THOSE WHO BELIEVE AND GET BAPTIZED SHALL BE SAVED. FOR YOU TO GO AND PREACH TO SOME PEOPLE TO LEAVE THEIR CHURCHES, WHEN IN THE TRUE PERSPECTIVE, ALL THEIR LIVES AND MEANS OF LIVELIHOOD ARE DEPENDENT ON THE CHURCHES, THEY WILL NOT MIND YOU OR TAKE YOU SERIOUSLY.

***THERE IS NO CHURCH IN THE WHOLE WORLD WHICH PERFORMS BAPTISM THE

RIGHT WAY, EXCEPT BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR.

*THERE IS NO PROBLEM IF SOMEBODY IS A BISHOP, HIS STATUS NOT WITHSTANDING; WHEREVER HE MAY BELONG, IF HE BELIEVES AND ACCEPTS BAPTISM, IT IS GOOD FOR HIM. IF NOT, LEAVE HIM TO REMAIN WHERE HE IS. DO NOT TELL PEOPLE TO COME TO BCS, BECAUSE MANY OF THEM CANNOT PREACH THE GOSPEL OF GOD. WHY DO YOU WANT HIM TO COME TO BCS WHEN HE CANNOT PREACH.

I HAVE TOLD YOU THAT MANY OF THE BISHOPS HAVE COME HERE INTO BCS AND MANY OF THEM RECEIVED BAPTISM ONLY TO GO BACK TO THEIR DENOMINATIONS TO PERFORM THEIR DUTIES JUST FOR THE PURPOSE OF KEEPING BODY AND SOUL TOGETHER.

What is going on in various churches is like the work of a civil servant, where at the end of every month, salary or wages are paid to them. If you are not born of water and spirit, you cannot see visions, dream dreams, nor preach the gospel of God because you are not of the Holy Spirit.

Already, trouble has begun in their various churches and they are beginning to worry that their members have scattered. They no more have large multitude of followers. BUT UNKNOWN TO THEM IS THE FACT THAT IT IS IN FULFILLMENT OF

THE TIME THAT ALL SHALL COME UNDER ONE FLOCK, AND THERE SHALL BE ONLY ONE SHEPHERD(John 10:16). THIS IS EXACTLY THE STAGE WE HAVE ARRIVED AT.

PAY YOUR TITHES AND GIVE ALMS TO THE POOR. IF YOU ARE CONFRONTED WITH ANY PROBLEMS, KNOCK YOUR HEAD ON THE GROUND AND CALL ON THE FATHER. (1 CORINTHIANS 3:13).

***THOSE WHO REFUSE BAPTISM ARE THOSE WHO ARE STILL BEGRUDGING PEOPLE, THOSE WHO STEAL AND INDULGE IN SECRET SOCIETIES.


……………………………………………………………………………

THE ONE AND INDIVISIBLE GLORY Beloved, this is the message we have for you. I have always asked the Christ's students, Christ servants, ordained ones, and indeed the entire brethren to always be around to receive the farewell message, so that they could get it directly from the horse's mouth. DO NOT WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO TELL YOU WHAT TO DO. I WANT YOU TO GET THESE WORDS DIRECT FROM ME. I ALSO SAID THE KING OF KINGS AND QUEEN MOTHER SHOULD BE IN ATTENDANCE DURING THE FAREWELL SESSION. THERE EXIST ONLY ONE GLORY. THIS GREAT AND INDIVISIBLE GLORY IS MEANT FOR ONLY THE ALMIGHTY

GOD AND HIS SERVANTS. The rest of other people are placed in positions of responsibility by this one God and Father. And these people no matter their status, stature, race and tongue are subject to the power that has placed them in such positions; AND IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU RESPECT THE GREATEST BEING THAT HAS KEPT THEM WHERE THEY ARE. WHOEVER THEREFORE DISREGARDS OR DISOBEYS THEM, DIRECTLY CHALLENGES GOD, AND SUCH A PERSON SHALL FACE THE WRATH OF GOD. YOUR ACT OF DISOBEDIENCE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR SUFFERING TODAY. IT IS ALSO DUE TO YOUR FAILURE TO HONOR THE PRESENCE AND AUTHORITY OF GOD IN MAN. YOU DO NOT HAVE RESPECT FOR ONE ANOTHER. DO YOU NOT HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE THAT WHENEVER YOU RESPECT MAN YOU ARE DOING SO TO GOD?Clearly if you love one another, you have loved God and if you are truthful to one another, you are equally being truthful to God. Whatever belongs to the Father also belongs to the Son. Everybody is therefore enjoined to humble himself so as to carry out the instructions issued out by the ones that God has placed in positions of authority. By so doing, you will receive many blessings from God. If you adhere to these instructions by respecting those in authority and also endeavor to practice

righteousness, then would Brotherhood be recognized. Note that if Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is recognized, it would invariably mean that you are equally recognized. The reason being that whatever honor and glory are accorded Brotherhood of the Cross and Star the same which extends to you as well. Also, know that until Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is fully glorified, you cannot have full glory.

WHEN GOD IS GLORIFIED THE SON IS ALSO GLORIFIEDSo, is it not incumbent on you to magnify the glory of God so that consequently you will also be glorified? Anybody who serves God is glorified alongside God. This is in conformity with what the Bible affirms that; whoever believes in the Son invariably believes in the Father who had sent Him.THEREFORE, FROM NOW, IT IS ABSOLUTELY UNNECESSARY TO PLEAD WITH THE KING OF KINGS OR THE HOLY QUEEN MOTHER TO TAKE YOU TO THE FATHER. DO NOT ALSO SEEK TO HAVE AUDIENCE WITH THE KING OF KINGS OR HOLY QUEEN MOTHER. YOU SHOULD DESIST FROM SEEKING TO BE TAKEN TO ANY PERSONALITY IN BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR TO DEMAND FOR ONE FAVOR OR THE OTHER.Do not involve in backbiting, gossiping, mourning, murmuring and other acts capable of causing discrimination or segregation in Brotherhood of the

Cross and Star, for the entire world has been united into one indivisible fold.

WHAT IS REQUIRED OF YOU IS EXHIBITION OF ABSOLUTE FAITH IN GOD THE FATHER. DO OBEY HIS INJUNCTIONS AND ABIDE STRICTLY BY HIS WORDS. YOUR POST AS A ROYAL HIGHNESS, BISHOP, PASTOR, APOSTLE, CHRIST'S STUDENT OR SERVANT, DEACONESS OR CHILD OF GOD DOES NOT MATTER; WHAT YOU ARE REQUIRED TO DO IS TO OBEY GOD'S WORD. YOU MUST ALWAYS HAVE IMPLICIT FAITH IN HIS WORD. ALSO YOU HAVE TO OBEY ALL CONSTITUTED AUTHORITIES. THOSE OF YOU IN THE KINGDOM HAVE TO HONOR AND RESPECT ONE ANOTHER. DO HUMBLE YOURSELF SINCE YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE ALL THE MESSENGERS OF GOD IN HIS KINGDOM. REMEMBER THAT AS GOD IS REVEALED SO ALSO ARE YOU REVEALED. ALSO, AS HE IS GLORIFIED, THE GLORY ALSO EXTENDS TO YOU, IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. AMEN.

THE GREAT SIGNIFICANCE OF AUGUST PENTECOSTAL ASSEMBLYRECALL THE REVELATION THAT CAME THROUGH ASSASU INYANG IBOM THAT, EVERYBODY MUST BRING GIFTS THREE TIMES IN A YEAR TO THE FATHER. HAVE YOU SHOWN ANY APPRECIATION FOR

THIS MARVELOUS AUGUST PENTECOSTAL ASSEMBLY? You should know that our Lord Jesus Christ received His baptism in the River Jordan in the month of August. It was also in this memorable month of August (8/8/1958) that the members of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star marched in white garment from No. 8 Eton Street to No. 26 Mbukpa Road all in Calabar metropolis. August is a month of great significance, so we are not only commemorating the historic exodus of the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star from No. 8 Eton Street to No 26 Mbukpa Road, but we are also celebrating because it is the month of Christ's revelation. August was the month that our Lord -Jesus Christ was revealed for being so humble that He had to go to John the Baptist for baptism by immersion. Before His baptism, Christ had no disciples. It was after His baptism and revelation that He began to have disciples. Recall what God said about our Lord Jesus Christ that; "And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." Matthew 3: 17. A lot of great and significant events take place in the month of August. Professor Assasu Inyang Ibom's first book was read in the Kingdom in August; the bishops were appointed and ordained in August. Do not doubt the importance of the

month of August. Everybody has to appreciate God's kindness to mankind in whatever he does in life. It is through these deeds that salvation is extended to the entire world, in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. THIS IS A VERY LUCKY GENERATION; HENCE, ALL PEOPLE SHOULD GIVE THANKS TO GOD FOR THE ENORMOUS GOODNESS HE HAS SHOWN TO US. This is God's Kingdom and not the kingdom of the world. In this Kingdom, people are not mandated or forced to carry out certain duties or order. RATHER THEY ARE ALLOWED TO LISTEN TO THE SPIRIT AND ADHERE TO WHAT THEY ARE DIRECTED SPIRITUALLY. THAT IS WHAT IS REFERRED TO AS "SHOW LOVE" OR "FREE-WILL OFFERING".BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU

GODLINESS WITH CONTENTMENT I am asking you: if the whole world is Brotherhood, and you are not satisfied in the place you are kept what then will be your gain? You know that the church dignitaries have got everything. All the heads of church denominations you find around are very wealthy. But what is their gain? What do they gain from wealth, as long as you are not satisfied with your position? The first important thing is that godliness with contentment is great gain. Apart from that you are heading for destruction. The churches built hospitals, trained nurses, trained sisters and mothers, they are famous and popular but what is their gain? Is that what they were sent to do?The children of God, I have to emphasize, have no dwelling houses. They have neither a country, nor town, nor community. No person knows from where they have come. No person knows to where they are going. Our Lord Jesus Christ is here on earth. Sister Clover, in the year 1958, saw Our Lord Jesus Christ physically at No. 8, Eton Street. She saw Him with the twelve disciples but could not know their faces.BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU

THAT IS WHAT IS REFERRED TO AS "SHOW LOVE" OR "FREE-WILL OFFERING".

THE GREAT SIGNIFICANCE OF THE APRIL PENTECOSTAL ASSEMBLYYou should also know that April is another month of great importance. And for that reason, we the members of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star celebrate the April Pentecostal. It was meant to enable us to be able to offset our indebtedness to our Lord Jesus Christ. We have to continually celebrate throughout our life time.

DEMONSTRATE YOUR APPRECIATION TO CHRISTNothing contributed by anyone will be too much. If you present gifts to the Father during these different significant periods (APRIL/EASTER,AUGUST, DECEMBER) that is THE THREE PENTECOSTAL PERIODS, your ways would be opened.Mark you, this show of appreciation has nothing to do with your regular tithe remitted to God. Everybody is free to erect structures, buy cars, ships, aircrafts, and clothes and donate money to the Kingdom. If I may ask; have you ever donated

generously in appreciation of what God has blessed you with? You are supposed to give cheerfully and from your freewill.

LAVISH BLESSINGS FOR YOU Henceforth, all those who have come here with various kinds of sicknesses, court cases with the police, such problems have been brought under the control of the Father. The Father has paved the way for those who are in lack and groaning in poverty; they shall no longer be in poverty. The barren have been blessed with children and the unemployed have been given jobs. MORESO, THE FATHER HAS RESTORED PEACE TO ALL AND SUNDRY, AND THE WORD OF GOD HAS BEEN SPREAD TO ALL PLANES, PLANETS AND OTHER REALMS OF MANIFEST. All those who have backslidden have been brought back by the Father. ALSO, GOD HAS GIVEN TO ALL WHO PREVIOUSLY DID NOT WANT TO DO THE WORK OF GOD, THE ABILITY TO NOW SERVE HIM. THOSE WHO CLAIM IGNORANCE OF THE SIGNIFICANCE OF BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR HAVE NOW BEEN MADE TO KNOW THE MEANING AND THE FATHER HAS LAVISHLY REVEALED HIMSELF TO THEM. EVERYTHING BELONGS TO THE FATHER:You should know that man, animal birds fishes, trees, grasses, rivers the air, and all things created and uncreated; things corporeal and incorporeal all constitute Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. There is nothing visible or invisible that does not belong to Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. This is the time when everybody should come together to celebrate the presence of the Everlasting Father. Brotherhood cannot be seen in the flesh, you can only see Her in the Spirit. If you are in

the spirit, you would see Brotherhood of the Cross and Star.

USING THE TELEPHONE NUMBER:ALL OF YOU ARE AWARE OF MY TELEPHONE NUMBER, WHICH IS "O.O.O." WHENEVER AND WHEREVER YOU MAY BE, IF YOU WANT TO DIAL THE FATHER, WHAT YOU MERELY HAVE TO DO IS, KNOCK YOUR HEAD ON THE GROUND AND CALL HIM USING THIS NUMBER AND HE WILL IMMEDIATELY ANSWER YOU. DO NOT FORGET THAT, IT IS HIS NAME THAT WE WOULD USE TO DO ALL THINGS. ACCORDINGLY, ALL YOUR HARD-LUCK, MISFORTUNES AND DIVERSE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN ERADICATED THROUGH HIS GREAT NAME O.O.O. I REITERATE, DIAL THIS NUMBER "O.O.O. " WHENEVER IN DIFFICULTIES AND YOU WILL INSTANTLY BE ANSWERED.

YOU HAVE BEEN COMMISSIONEDYou have now been commissioned to go two by two into all houses, homes, schools, markets, hospitals, offices and countries to disseminate the word of God. You are enjoined to disclose to all those you meet during your evangelism: the significance of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star or what the Kingdom entails. Also reveal to them the futility of fighting and killing of one another. They should be asked to allow love to prevail. Do not forget to tell them that those who believe and are baptized are saved. All of you should make peace with your adversaries; do not impute sin to one another. Endeavor to appreciate God's favor to you.

THE REASON WHY THIS KINGDOM WAS GIVEN TO ABRAHAM WAS BECAUSE OF HIS THANKFUL HEART. SO, YOU SHOULD ALSO SHOW THANKFULNESS TO GOD. DURING THESE PENTECOSTAL CELEBRATION PERIODS, NOBODY SHOULD CLAIM SUPERIORITY OVER OTHERS; THIS IS BECAUSE IN BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR THERE IS NO BIG OR SMALL; EQUALITY ALONE REIGNS, WE ARE ALL ONE.

GREATEST ADVICE:EACH PERSON IS ADVISED TO HOLD FAST HIS POSITION IN THIS KINGDOM BECAUSE THE RATE OF INFLUX OF PEOPLE IN THE FOLD WILL BE AMAZING TO EVERYBODY. THERE WILL BE A GREAT RUSH FOR BAPTISM. SO IF YOU DO NOT HAVE YOUR FEET FIRMLY ROOTED IN THE KINGDOM, YOU WOULD BE SURPRISED TO FIND YOURSELF WHERE YOU LEAST EXPECTED. You are admonished to work hard and always adhere to the injunctions of God. THE HOLY FATHER HAS BLESSED YOU ABUNDANTLY, AND HE IS BEFORE AND BEHIND YOU; THOUGH WE ARE NOT WORTHY TO RECEIVE ALL THESE BLESSINGS. HOWEVER GOD'S SALVATION HAS COME TO US BY GRACE; THAT WAS THE PROMISE HE GAVE TO ABRAHAM. THIS ACT OF BLESSING YOU IS A MERE FORMALITY, FOR HE HAD ALREADY WILLINGLY AND ABUNDANTLY BLESSED YOU(HEBREWS 6:13-20). YOU ARE THEREFORE ENJOINED TO BELIEVE FERVENTLY THAT FROM NOW, THE FATHER IS ALWAYS WITH YOU. ACCORD THE FATHER ALL THE GLORY, HONOR AND PRAISES, WHICH HE DESERVES. ALSO ENDEAVOR TO ABIDE BY HIS WORDS. THE FATHER HAS

LAVISHLY GIVEN EVERY ONE OF YOU TESTIMONIES IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. YOU SHOULD GO HOME FOR ALL IS WELL WITH YOU NOW AND FOREVER MORE, AMEN.May My peace and blessings abide with all of you. Amen.Thank You Holy Father.

MEDIA OUTREACH

Each time you are asked by someone about this Kingdom (BCS), refer that person to what the scriptures say in MARK 16:15-16.

We are of the same stock, one Father; and we have to unite together. What you have to do is to go and tell the people of the world to believe and get baptized. THOSE WHO BELIEVE AND ARE BAPTIZED SHALL BE SAVED, AND THOSE WHO DO NOT BELIEVE WILL BE CONDEMNED.

BAPTISM IS LIKE THE GATEWAY TO HEAVEN. WHAT SEPARATES MAN FROM GOD IS SIN. Love is practised in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. Only BCS has the right to change and re-unite the entire world. Because here in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, money, wealth, jobs, brother, sisters, mothers and fathers are in abundance. But what is required is faith. ANYONE WHO BELIEVES AND IS BAPTIZED SHALL BE SAVED.

All of us are Christ Servants and Christ Students and Ordained ones. If any of us is confronted with any problems, let us rally around him or her. If you are a child of this Kingdom, your duty is to go out and preach the gospel to the people of the world.

The spirit is one, but there is diversity of operations.

(1 Cor 12:1-13). Do not condemn people, but pay attention to the Holy Spirit. Which of you has any knowledge about what is read to us in the Golden Text?

That is why I have been shouting that you should proceed to India, Russia, and such other places and preach the gospel of the Father to these inhabitants. All the Communist world, I have taken absolute control. Immediately BCS gets to a particular place, it takes control and complete domination.

It has also in the same way pleased God to use the Teachings of God to save those who do not believe. That is why Our Lord Jesus Christ told us to be careful about the things of the world so that we might be saved.

Now you want to be a president, a governor, a member of the state assembly, so that you may have money. Does it mean that if someone is not a president, a governor, or a member of parliament,

he can't have money? That is why here in BCS whatsoever things constitute your needs, all those needs of yours will be supplied here. " But seek ye first the kingdom of God and its righteousness and all other things will be added unto you." (Matt 6:33). During the era of the colonial masters and when the country attained independence, has there been any big difference between now and then? ALL THOSE WHO WORK FOR GOD HAVE BEEN REGARDED AND SAVED.

The majority of you do not believe that you are saved right from when you were baptized into this Kingdom (BCS). You complain that you have no money, no food, and no clothes yet you are not hungry. God takes care of you, feeds you, and clothes you.

You have heard that one of the new civilian governors came here the other day for salvation. Why did he not go to the big people like Benson Idahosa who owns the Church of God Mission in Benin City, or go to some other big churches to celebrate the feast?

He knows that it is in BCS that he will receive his salvation. Yet you are here complaining of lack of food and money. Here in BCS it is joy, joy all over.

I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT THE MOST PARAMOUNT THING IS TO SPREAD THE TEACHINGS OF GOD. Most of you are living witnesses to what

the Holy Spirit is using my children to do. The General Manager of Observer Newspaper, through the spreading of the word of God, is serving God.

Journalists, too, are number one in this aspect. THEIR DUTIES ARE TO REVEAL THE TRUTH TO THE WORLD AND TO PROPAGATE THE NEW TEACHINGS OF GOD. Like one of my sons in Lagos, Pastor Umoh James Umoh. Many of you have seen what the Father is using Pastor Umoh to do through the spreading of the teachings of God, right from when he was baptized into this fold.

But do not pray to become a journalist, because that may not be your gift. So many professionals are coming. Among them are farmers, traders, doctors lawyers, etc. Your duty is to do that which is assigned to you, in your own profession, tirelessly so as not to soil the good image of your Father because we are now entering the reign of the Holy Spirit.

Whoever is a president, a governor, or an honorable member of the state or national assembly, you should put them into fervent prayer because Brotherhood of the Cross and Star has come to reign.

It is said that a word is sufficient unto the wise. Let those who have ears hear. May God Bless His Holy Words. Amen.

THANK YOU HOLY FATHER.

FATHER’S WORK WILL START ON EARTH AGAIN NOW THAT YOU ARE UP TO TWELVE IN NUMBER.

THE FATHER’S WORK WILL START AGAIN ON EARTH

THE INITIAL FEAST IN BCS: THE FIRST TWELVE DISCIPLES

Up to now nobody knew that there will be anything like Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, except the Father. We still doubted His powers. About ten people used to visit Him for prayers. On one occasion, the Father asked me to conduct a feast. Unlike what we do now, the feast was made up of a goat, male and female fowls, dry meat, pepper, kola-nuts, bitter cola, illicit gin, palm wine, rice and other condiments. He informed me that when the feast will be served there will be a heavy downpour of rain even though it was in the peak of the dry season. According to Him, this was to show that the feast was accepted by the host of heavens.After preparing the feast, the method of serving was different. A big table was brought and chairs were kept around the table. All the dishes were fixed in big bowls and kept on the same table.

On this particular occasion, when this was done, the Father came out and said, “Count among yourselves how many are you?” We answered we are twelve, that is the regular ten, in addition to my sister and myself. He then said, “Christ started His ministry work with twelve people. Now that you are up to twelve the Father’s work will start again on earth.” He ordered us to pray. As we started to pray, there was a heavy down pour. It did not last ten minutes. Then it was a question of serve yourself. You had direct access to the feast with the attendant delicacies. One thing happened, my sister, still skeptical, refused to eat the feast. The Father told her, “Eat this feast for a time is coming when this feast will be served in very, very, little quantity.” She ate (Recorded by: Pastor Henshaw).

This reveals that the Father already knew before this time what will become of Brotherhood. After this feast, He (Father) said He would visit me and that He would reveal my mission in Brotherhood but He warned me that I should not hide anything from Him so He would be able to save me. But that He knows that life was miserable for me. He encouraged all of us in all ways so as to secure our attention and faith in Him. He almost took over that running of my home, in terms of food supply. He was extremely generous to my family and me.

On the appointed date, He came, I told him I

used to sell livestock (Chimpanzees,other young monkeys and parrots). I let Him know that I used to secure them from Cameroon and I sold to Hausa merchants in Kano. I also told Him that I used to go to Cameroon to hunt for the animals and on securing them I will travel to Kano to sell them but the trade was now bad. He listened attentively and then said, “In a short time you will have so much money that you will not be able to count or know the origin.” He continued to say that I would even sleep on money. I felt He was a joker and advised Him not to boast of His powers because I did not know that He controlled and still controls all powers in heaven and earth.

After pondering a while He said, “For you to be convinced that I can save you, you must now do what I tell you.. 1. Do not go to Cameroon to look for those articles of trade. Those people will bring them to you from Cameroon to buy. 2. Again He asked, “Do you have money to buy the livestock when they bring them?” I replied, “No,” for I was expecting that He will volunteer to give me some money but he said, “Do not expect me to give you money. Somebody you have not known will bring you money to start this trade. This person is not from your place, he does not know you and he does not even speak your language. But he will give you the money. That money when given to you will not be a loan, but it will be given to you

gratis. You will use that money to buy those goods.3. As from now, those merchants you used to take your goods to Kano will come to Calabar to but your goods. You will not go to them again. Ask them to come and they will.” Here again I was very ignorant. I did not hide my feelings but I told Him of the impracticability of his proposal and the limitations the Hausa merchants. Then He said, “Give me time to tell you all I have. At the fullness of time, if they do not fulfill, you can stop coming to me.” He then continued....4. All those livestock that will be brought to you, use your business discretion and price once and let your offer be firm and stand by it. That price stands irrevocable. That is the price the owner will sell at. Again any time you want to sell, give whatever profit margin you desire that is what will be bought from you.” You can trust that I doubted this and the other proposals of His because these livestock had fixed prices. He then said, “Do you know the person who is telling you these things? I know that you doubt a lot but record all these things and watch their fulfillment, but do not travel again to buy or to sell those things so that whenever I come, I see you as well as lecture you, because there are certain things you must do for God.”

I took all His proposal in with a pinch of salt. I did not know that any of them would manifest. However I accepted what he said and so I waited at

home for two months. After two months, nothing happened. There was no change. But the Father continued in His well doing by giving us money for food. After that period, a certain man proposed a joint partnership with me. He promised to lead me to a hunter in Cameroon who will supply us those livestock and after sales we will share the profits. I refused to tell the Holy Father anything. I cannot fathom out how He knew my plans but He told me, “If you doubt me and you go anywhere, you will not get anything. It is only what I tell you that will manifest.” Within me, I was resolved to strike a deal with that “God sent” business partner. And then the Father said, “why are you doubting in your mind? You think they are lies. It is only my will that must be done.What happened after this? Were the Father’s pronouncements made manifest, or did Senior Pastor Henshaw have his way. Find out in the next edition. Welcome to Brotherhood Yesterday. THANK YOUR FATHER

THE FIRST SPIRITED MEETING IN BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR:Most of the signs and wonders that followed the spoken word of the Father made it impossible for us to believe that the Father did not operate with

some unknown powers. His constant attempt to persuade us to see Him as having divine powers always met with deaf ears.He tried to educate us that Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is controlled by the Holy Spirit. That is why we did not experience His power was because we did not participate in anything. And that we allowed Him to give, dance teach, read the Bible and constantly feast us daily without any of us giving Him assistance. IT WAS THE FATHER’S PROMISE THAT IF WE CAN TAKE PART IN ANY OF THE ACTIVITIES THE HOLY SPIRIT WOULD REVEAL HIMSELF TO US AND DIRECT US TO THE ACCURATE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH.We were disturbed and we became more inquisitive. Finally, we called for a meeting. At the meeting, we resolved to contribute money and celebrate a feast. It was not because we believed in the feast, we wanted to see if the Holy Spirit would reveal Himself to us. The money was collected and a date was fixed for the feast. Within the period we were celebrating the feast, the daughter of the Late Obong of Calabar, Awat Edidem Archibong was caught up in spirit. The Holy Father was very impressed when the Holy Spirit caught hold of her. He stood up and informed us that what we experienced at that time was the work of the Holy Spirit. He reminded us of His earlier promise that if we celebrate a feast, the

Holy Spirit would reveal Himself to us. I was not satisfied with the drama I witnessed. I also argued with Him (the Holy Father) that that display was not of the Spirit since none of us was pure enough. And that if the Holy Spirit must take possession of anybody, it would not have been a woman who was possessed with water spirit( Mammy Water or mermaid spirit).As the Father insisted that it was the Holy Spirit, I drew His attention to the fact that the way the lady was demonstrating it was as if she was dancing the mermaid dance. At last I told the Father that if He insisted, I would stop attending the prayer sessions. To back up my threat, I packed my luggage and left No.8 Eton Street. My reason for leaving was that it would be a disgrace for anybody to come and see her behave the way she did. When I left that night, I dreamt and saw a mighty eagle. The eagle got hold of me by my foculars and wanted to fly away. In that dream, I found myself shouting , “Brother Obu, come and help me...O!” It was then that the eagle left. On waking up, I found blood gushing out from my lips. There were three wounds on my cheeks. I left in the morning and I went to Eton street to tell Him, (the Father) of what happened to me.On meeting me He said, “I have told you that the Father brought you to me, do not go away. Can you see your little annoyance of yesterday and what it can cause? Any time you leave me the forces of

darkness will come after you.” I told Him that it was as if the bird had gone away with my spirit but He said, “No.” He prayed for me and tried to convince me that the action of that woman was propelled by the Holy Spirit. At that point I told Him that I was going to prove to Him that whatever went on was not of the Holy Spirit but elementary spirit or mermaid spirit.Did Pastor Henshaw prove his case? Read in our next edition.THANK YOU FATHER

THE 1965 ENCOUNTERNot many were born on in 1956, but in 1965 something unique happened in the History of Brotherhood. And our Holy Father was at the center of it. He revealed His Omnipotent, Omniscient, and Omnipresent (O.O.O.) powers to a man who never knew that the ultimate power was on earth. This story is told by the true witness of that event, Senior Pastor Henshaw. According to Him, “I was taken by an old friend, Brother Okon Ikpeme to meet Brother O. O. Obu” as we called Him then. My visit to Him was necessitated by some horrible problems that bedeviled my path on earth. These problems had no earthly solutions. Because of the problems, I became a pauper. The first words spoken by the Father were: “This is the man we were looking for, for so many years.” And now that

you have brought him, your assignment is completed. To my surprise, this man who had promised to the last drop of blood in his life to stick with the Father, just fizzled out of the Brotherhood world, against his wishes. I was shocked that His word carried such powers. I felt He wanted to use me for some weird things. The Father said, “Don’t think of that in your mind. It is God who called you not me.” I quivered. How did He know what went on inside the inner recesses of my mind? The next statement was, “These your problems, what the native doctors told you are not the truth.” I disbelieved Him but He insisted. I asked Him to tell me the problem. He said, “From the day you went to marry your second wife, that was the beginning of your downfall, the person who gave you money to do business is not responsible for your problem....” I told him that my father married sixty three (63) wives and he had ninety-eight children and that my target was just five wives. He said, “Your father is of a different planet. If you marry more than one wife, you will have problems with God. He then said, “I will do something for you, stop going to all those traditional medicine men. When you get home send one of those women away. If you do this and you do not regain your wealth, then forget me.” Sure I thought he was a native doctor, I pleaded with Him to do other things for me. He refused. I accepted to send one of my wives away. He said, “You won’t be able. Kneel

down before me and pray telling God to send the wife that was not your own away.” I complied. Then He said, “Until God removes her, do not come again.”Brethren, on reaching home my present (sister)wife asked me if I had a problem with my younger wife and that she saw her pack her clothes into box and she left. In effect before I reached my home one of my wives had left. And she was the one I preferred. I ran back to “Brother Obu” at No.8 Eton street to break the news of the impossible thing that had happened and to plead with him to return the woman who had left and to send the one in the house away.At that point, the Holy Father said, “The one in your house is the one that God kept for you. The other one who has left is a product of your lust, gluttony and greed. What you love is not what God loves and what is good for you, is not good for God. Mean while when you prayed, you prayed to God, why do you ask me to change things? Was I there? Are you not surprised to see what happened? Your file is before me. I can tell you the very mind of God before you were created.” And He did just that.THANK YOU HOLY FATHER

BROTHERHOOD STARTED BEFORE THE

FOUNDATIONS OF THE WORLD WERE LAID. 1. I am telling you what I have witnessed myself. You complain that a particular place is bad but in my own case, I am always in heaven wherever I am. Do not worry about me. Worry about yourself because I have no problems. You can go to No.8 Eton Street, Calabar, where it was supposed that Brotherhood was started. But Brotherhood did not start there. Brotherhood started before the foundations of the world were laid. We were completely satisfied with No.8 Eton Street. When we were at Biakpan we were also satisfied. And so every time and at every place we are content with our position. All places are the same. You have never complained that there is no good road. How did I get there in the first place? Tell me how I got to Biakpan. Or again, how did I move out of it? I have never complained about roads in Biakpan but you worry over what does not belong to you. Did God not know that there is no good road to Biakpan? Does He not know that there is also road there too?

Everything that He does do not involve you; allow Him to handle it the way He pleases. This Kingdom belongs to Him. It is neither mine nor yours. It is neither of the world nor of any person.

But the Father owns everything. You cannot question Him. You cannot criticize Him that He has done this instead of that. All your insolence arise

from your lust, and this is what leads you to destruction. Let our second lesson be read.

Second Bible Lesson: Philippians 4:12"I know both how to be abased, and I

know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need."

That is what Satan has used in overcoming the sons of men. At any time he will place something before you and ask you to have it. And if you are a greedy person you take it and fall. If you will receive the lesson of today and abide in it, you have overcome Satan, you have overcome the whole world. You have overcome all spirits and even the angels. Nothing flaps its wings.

The Benefit Of The Brotherhood PulpitDo you know why many people fall away from

Brotherhood? When the Brotherhood pulpit was not introduced on the television, the whole world used to cogitate that the Leader was dressed in a way commensurate with His fame. They think that maybe His dress was not made out of any worldly materials or even tailored by man, or may be His

hat extends from one end of the wall to the other. That was why the world were so sensitized. But when the Father appeared on the Television every person was tongue-tied.

Before the civil war two pastors came here to me. They were arguing that no person ever sees the Father while the other was arguing that the Father can be seen. And so they came to see me. When they arrived, we sat down together, and the other one was so tongue-tied. He commented that people had told him that The Leader was never seen. I told him that he has seen him before. How can I not be seen? Am I a ghost or a mermaid?

The Leader Is Content With His PositionEven when I come down from the pulpit you do

not see Me with any shoes or hat on My head. But in your case, when you leave this place another person will come to you to ask "Why are you so poor?" He will tell you how your Leader is very rich. When you hear this you begin to steal so that you may be rich. You can now realize how Satan has deceived you. Can you not realize that the gift I possess is the greatest?

I do not desire for anything. I am satisfied with my position, I have no problems. You may go and look for money and high positions. I am here waiting for you. I am more than satisfied with my position.

You are witnesses that when the headquarters

was at No. 26 Mbukpa Road, and, as a matter of fact, it still remains the headquarters -- the place, as you know, is very small. But I was really satisfied with the place. Apart from the Holy Mother who renovated the place I would have been satisfied with my position. You can see where the Secretariat is standing now. It was a small thatched house; but look at it now. In whatever form it was built, I cannot be worried, even as I was not worried when it was not built. I am not interested in anything. I am already satisfied with my position.

I am asking you: if the whole world is Brotherhood, and you are not satisfied in the place you are kept what then will be your gain? You know that the church dignitaries have got everything. All the heads of church denominations you find around are very wealthy. But what is their gain? What do they gain from wealth, as long as you are not satisfied with your position? The first important thing is that godliness with contentment is great gain. Apart from that you are heading for destruction.

The churches built hospitals, trained nurses, trained sisters and mothers, they are famous and popular but what is their gain? Is that what they were sent to do?

2.The children of God, I have to emphasize, have no dwelling houses. They have neither a country,

nor town, nor community. No person knows from where they have come. No person knows to where they are going. Our Lord Jesus Christ is here on earth. Sister Clover, in the year 1958, saw Our Lord Jesus Christ physically at No. 8, Eton Street. She saw Him with the twelve disciples but could not know their faces.

3. BROTHERHOOD IS IN ITS ADVANCED STAGE:Brotherhood of the Cross and Star has

undergone many stages. When Brotherhood physically 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 all 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 ALL UNHOLY DESIRES. Those who recall with nostalgia how cows used to be slaughtered for feast should well 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 when it is tasted. By the same logical reasoning, not much is gained by hearing the gospel but not practicing it.

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. Whatever I want to happen, I equally cause same to come to existence. Two instances which we can all readily recall to substantiate my authority 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 Gulf War, I declared an end to the hostilities. Could this not prove to you all that the Father is a personality on this earth, and that all should submit to Him?

THE FATHER IS ALREADY SEATED ON THE JUDGEMENT SEAT:

Why do you think people hearken to the instructions not to eat meat and fish, not to fornicate, not to hate, and not to steal, among other injunctions? The reason is that the Father is already on the judgement seat, judging the entire universe, and giving out instructions to these people.Let the Second Bible Lesson be read.

Second Bible Lesson: John 15:9AAs 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 BETTER THAN THOUSANDS WHO DO NOT PRACTICE THE Word of God. You are called upon to extend the love that the author of our faith, even the Lord Jesus Christ has loved us, to your fellow men.

THANK YOU HOLY FATHER

EXCERPT FROM THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL

THE CRITERION FOR JUDGEMENT IS LOVE.2Co 3:17 NOW THE LORD IS THAT SPIRIT: AND WHERE

THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS, THERE IS LIBERTY. 2Co 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a

glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

The criterion for judgement is love. If love is practiced the whole 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 restriction 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 putting into practice His words? You should Practice His words in your relationship with other men.BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
