THE WORD CENTERPRESENTS

REVEALING THE CHRIST

"Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him. But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs. But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water." (John 19:32-34)

"He keepeth all his bones; not one of them is broken." (Psalm 34:24)

Mar_15:28 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors. Luk_22:37 For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.

Act 3:18 But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.

Act 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;

THE FATHER CAME TO FULFILL THE WORD OF GOD WHICH SAYS THAT WHAT WAS NOT PLANTED BY THE FATHER SHALL BE UPROOTED. (MATTHEW 15:13-14).

The Father has great teachings to deliver to this plane of manifest. These teachings have not come to this earth plane before. The Father came to judge the world, human beings,

angels and spirit. He did not come to waste time to preaching and praying. THE FATHER CAME TO FULFILL THE WORD OF GOD

WHICH SAYS THAT WHAT WAS NOT PLANTED BY THE FATHER SHALL BE UPROOTED.(MATTHEW 15:13-14).

Act 26:22 Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:

Act 26:23 THAT CHRIST SHOULD SUFFER, AND THAT HE SHOULD BE THE FIRST THAT SHOULD RISE FROM THE DEAD, AND SHOULD SHEW LIGHT UNTO THE PEOPLE, AND TO THE GENTILES.

"Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him. But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs. But one of the soldiers with a

spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water."

ONTO THIS DAY THAT BLOOD AND WATER ARE STILL FLOWING AND WASHING US CLEAN AND FREE. THIS IS WHERE OUR SALVATION COMES FROM. IT WAS NOT THE MIRACLES OF HEALING THE SICK, THE LAME, DEAF, BLIND OR RAISING THE DEAD THAT REVEALED OR QUALIFIED HIM AS THE CHRIST; OTHERWISE PETER, PAUL AND THE REST OF THE APOSTLES WHO WERE ABLE TO PERFORM SAME COULD EQUALLY HAVE CLAIMED HIS POSITION.

Act 26:22 Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come: Act 26:23 THAT CHRIST SHOULD SUFFER, AND THAT HE SHOULD BE THE FIRST THAT SHOULD RISE FROM THE DEAD, AND SHOULD SHEW LIGHT UNTO THE PEOPLE, AND TO THE GENTILES.

Act 3:14 But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you;

Act 3:15 AND KILLED THE PRINCE OF LIFE, WHOM GOD HATH RAISED FROM THE DEAD; WHEREOF WE ARE WITNESSES.

Act 3:16 And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

ROM 4:23 NOW IT WAS NOT WRITTEN FOR HIS SAKE ALONE, THAT IT WAS IMPUTED TO HIM;

ROM 4:24 BUT FOR US ALSO, TO WHOM IT SHALL BE IMPUTED, IF WE BELIEVE ON HIM THAT RAISED UP JESUS OUR LORD FROM THE DEAD;

ROM 4:25 WHO WAS DELIVERED FOR OUR OFFENCES, AND WAS RAISED AGAIN FOR OUR JUSTIFICATION.

About 99 percent of the population of the world does not believe in the resurrection. If you were to hope on resurrection then you would not have pitied yourself about death because death does not exist. But do what is good knowing that whatever you do, you are sowing for yourself.

THE DISCIPLES STRUGGLED AMONG THEMSELVES WHO WOULD BE THE GREATEST AMONGST THEM. BUT SINCE OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST TOOK HIS PHYSICAL EXISTENCE FROM THIS EARTH PLAIN, WHICH OF THEM STEPPED INTO HIS SHOES? NO PERSON TOOK OVER FROM HIM. EACH PERSON IS OCCUPYING HIS OWN POSITION. THERE IS THE DIVISION OF LABOUR AND NO PERSON ENCROACHES ON THE POSITION OF OTHERS. THE GOLDEN TEXT SHOULD NOW BE READ.

AND WHY WAS CHRIST CRUCIFIED BETWEEN TWO ROBBERS?

People all over the world have been dying but the death of Christ had a difference. People would not have comprehended or visualized the difference between

Christ and the other human beings but for the prophesy of David as recorded in Psalm 34:24

"He keepeth all his bones; not one of them is broken."

This was fulfilled accordingly. The second point which identified Jesus as the Christ was His significant crucifixion between two robbers. AND WHY WAS CHRIST CRUCIFIED BETWEEN TWO ROBBERS? LET IT BE KNOWN THAT, THE SPIRIT IN HIM KEPT THE TWO ROBBERS ALIVE UNTIL WHEN HE MADE THE PRONOUNCEMENT: "FATHER, INTO THY HANDS I COMMEND MY SPIRIT." IF CHRIST HAD NOT SURRENDERED HIS SPIRIT INTO THE FATHER'S HAND, HE WOULD NOT HAVE DIED. THIS EXPLAINS THE FACT THAT THE SPIRIT IS LIFE, AND AS LONG AS IT REMAINS IN MAN, HE CANNOT DIE.

If Christ had not died at the time He was supposed to die, His bones could have been broken, according to the culture of the time. And so, when the Jews went to inspect them on the Cross, they found out that He had died; hence His bones were not broken, in fulfillment of the prophesy of David as cited above. However, the legs of the other two robbers were broken since they were not dead at the time of inspection. To test whether He was the Christ, the Jews pierced His side and instantly, water and blood gushed out through the hole made by the spear. (John 19:32-34)

"Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him. But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already,

they brake not his legs. But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water."

Though the soldier did not know the significance of what he did, his action revealed the man on the Cross as the Christ, while the blood was the son of man and the spirit was the Father.

So beloved brethren, you can see that JESUS THE CHRIST WAS GOD, THE FATHER, AMONG MEN. HE WAS ALSO CALLED THE SON OF MAN BECAUSE OF THE BLOOD IN HIM. HE WAS ALSO CALLED THE SON OF GOD DUE TO THE WATER IN HIM, AND FINALLY, GOD WHICH THE SPIRIT SIGNIFIES. So that when he said that He had surrendered His spirit, the Father departed and He then slumbered. And when the spear passed through His body, the water and blood which came out washed away all our sins and iniquities.

Act 3:17 And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers.

Act 3:18 But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.

Act 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;

Act 3:20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:

Act 3:21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.

LET GOD BE TRUE, BUT EVERY MAN A LIAR

PAUL DWELT TWO WHOLE YEARS IN HIS OWN HIRED HOUSE, AND RECEIVED ALL THAT CAME IN UNTO HIM, PREACHING THE KINGDOM OF GOD, AND TEACHING THOSE THINGS WHICH CONCERN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, WITH ALL CONFIDENCE NO MAN FORBIDDING HIM. (Act 28:30-31)

Act 26:13 At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me.

Act 26:14 And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

Act 26:15 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.

Act 26:16 But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;

Act 26:17 Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,

Act 26:18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

Act 26:19 Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:

Act 26:20 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.

Act 26:21 For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill me.

Act 26:22 Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:

ACT 26:23 THAT CHRIST SHOULD SUFFER, AND THAT HE SHOULD BE THE FIRST THAT SHOULD RISE FROM THE DEAD, AND SHOULD SHEW LIGHT UNTO THE PEOPLE, AND TO THE GENTILES.

Act 26:24 And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad.

Act 26:25 But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness.

Act 26:26 For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner.

Act 26:27 King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest.

Act 26:28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.

Act 26:29 And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.

Act 26:30 And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them:

Act 26:31 And when they were gone aside, they talked between themselves, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds.

Act 26:32 Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Caesar.

LET GOD BE TRUE, BUT EVERY MAN A LIAR; AS IT IS WRITTEN, THAT THOU MIGHTEST BE JUSTIFIED IN THY SAYINGS, AND MIGHTEST OVERCOME WHEN THOU ART JUDGED.

Act 28:16 And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard: but Paul was suffered to dwell by himself with a soldier that kept him.

Act 28:17 And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called the chief of the Jews together: and when they were come together, he said unto them, Men and brethren, though I have committed nothing against the people, or customs of our fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.

Act 28:18 Who, when they had examined me, would have let me go, because there was no cause of death in me.

Act 28:19 But when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had ought to accuse my nation of.

Act 28:20 For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see you, and to speak with you: because that for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.

Act 28:21 And they said unto him, We neither received letters out of Judaea concerning thee, neither any of the brethren that came shewed or spake any harm of thee.

Act 28:22 But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against.

Act 28:23 And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God,

persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening.

Act 28:24 And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not.

…………………………………………………………………………. Rom 3:3 For what if some did not believe? shall their

unbelief make the faith of God without effect? Rom 3:4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man

a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

……………………………………………………………………………

Act 28:25 And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias the prophet unto our fathers,

Act 28:26 Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive:

Act 28:27 For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

Act 28:28 Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.

Act 28:29 And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves.

Act 28:30 And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him,

Act 28:31 Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.

LET GOD BE TRUE, BUT EVERY MAN A LIAR

Rom 3:1 What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?

Rom 3:2 Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.

Rom 3:3 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?

Rom 3:4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

Rom 3:5 But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man)

Rom 3:6 God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?

Rom 3:7 For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?

Rom 3:8 And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.

Rom 3:9 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;

Rom 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

Rom 3:11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.

Rom 3:12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Rom 3:13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:

Rom 3:14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: Rom 3:15 Their feet are swift to shed blood: Rom 3:16 Destruction and misery are in their ways: Rom 3:17 And the way of peace have they not known: Rom 3:18 There is no fear of God before their eyes. Rom 3:19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.

Act 3:13 The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.

Act 3:14 BUT YE DENIED THE HOLY ONE AND THE JUST, AND DESIRED A MURDERER TO BE GRANTED UNTO YOU;

ACT 3:15 AND KILLED THE PRINCE OF LIFE, WHOM GOD HATH RAISED FROM THE DEAD; WHEREOF WE ARE WITNESSES.

Act 3:16 AND HIS NAME THROUGH FAITH IN HIS NAME HATH MADE THIS MAN STRONG, WHOM YE SEE AND KNOW: YEA, THE FAITH WHICH IS BY HIM HATH GIVEN HIM THIS PERFECT SOUNDNESS IN THE PRESENCE OF YOU ALL.

Act 3:17 And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers.

Act 3:18 But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.

Act 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;

Act 3:20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:

Act 3:21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.

Act 3:22 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.

Act 3:23 And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.

Act 3:24 Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.

Act 3:25 Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.

Act 3:26 Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.

Act 28:30 AND PAUL DWELT TWO WHOLE YEARS IN HIS OWN HIRED HOUSE, AND RECEIVED ALL THAT CAME IN UNTO HIM,

ACT 28:31 PREACHING THE KINGDOM OF GOD, AND TEACHING THOSE THINGS WHICH CONCERN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, WITH ALL CONFIDENCE, NO MAN FORBIDDING HIM.

HIS RARE ASSIGNMENT:

* THE FATHER CAME TO FULFILL THE WORD OF GOD WHICH SAYS THAT WHAT WAS NOT PLANTED BY THE FATHER SHALL BE UPROOTED. (MATTHEW 15:13-14).

The Father has great teachings to deliver to this plane of manifest. These teachings have not come to this earth plane before. The Father came to judge the world, human

beings, angels and spirit. He did not come to spend time to preaching and praying. THE FATHER CAME TO FULFILL THE WORD OF GOD WHICH SAYS THAT WHAT WAS NOT PLANTED BY THE FATHER SHALL BE UPROOTED. (MATTHEW 15:13-14).

All the time past the world had been ruled and controlled by angels. The Father having noted this situation, descended to the earth plane and he is teaching us from elementary one. From the time of Adam no one understands what is here. All our teaching had been about angels. Have you ever heard that a person who has never attended any school, nor read any books and yet He is a "SUPERNATURAL TEACHER ?" What type of church or school of thought could have produced such a person? These things you see now are not the work of God. ALL WHAT YOU SEE ARE THE WORKS OF LUCIFER AND I HAVE NO COMMENT ON THAT BECAUSE A HUNGRY MAN IS AN ANGRY MAN. BUT THE FATHER HAS COME WITH NEW TEACHINGS IN HIS BAG. THE FATHER UNDERSTANDS, KNOWS THE NEEDS, DIFFICULTIES AND ALL THE PROBLEMS OF HUMAN BEINGS. YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THAT I HAVE COME TO REMOVE YOU FROM NOTHINGNESS, SHAME, LACK, PAINS, DEATH, PRISON, DISGRACE AND PUT YOU IN GLORY IN GOD’S KINGDOM.

THE SPIRIT RULES ALL CREATION:

Go and bring any person who had received teaching from the sun, moon before me and let him testify. You have heard the testimony from a brother in Zaire. He was regarded as the only cock to crow, the monarch of all

surveys, and a demigod. God has several ways of changing man. That is why I say you should not disturb yourselves. This is God's Kingdom. Cut the bush and leave it and God will set fire on it. GOD IS THE DOER OF ALL THINGS; HUMAN BEINGS HAVE NO HANDS HERE. GOD HAS COME, SENDING NO ONE. IT IS BECAUSE OF HUMAN FRAILTIES THAT THE FATHER COMES BEFORE YOU AND PERMITS YOU TO MAKE NOISE BEFORE HIM. FLESH AND BLOOD CANNOT DO THIS WORK. ALL THE TEACHING YOU HAVE HERE ARE IN SPIRIT AND NOT IN THE FLESH. THIS IS WHY I HAVE EXTENDED THIS CALL TO YOU. SO WHEN YOU COME HERE LISTEN WITH RAPT ATTENTION TO THE WORD OF LIFE DELIVERED TO YOU.

HOW THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS:

All these years I have delivered to you the word of God which constitutes the created universe. In this Kingdom, there is no frowning of face, no fastidiousness, no sighing should be heard, no tears, no person laments. In this kingdom no iota of murmuring is admitted. THERE SHOULD BE NO RUBBING OF SHOULDERS, OR COMPETITION. THE KINGDOM DOES NOT WELCOME QUESTIONS, ARROGANCE, BEGGING AND CRAFTINESS. SHOES AND CLOTHES ARE NOT VALUED. WHAT IS NEEDED IS TO LOVE AND ENSLAVE YOURSELF TO EVERYTHING THAT MAKES UP THE KINGDOM. YOU SHOULD PLAN FOR NOTHING LIKE HOUSES, CHILDREN, BOOKS OR POSITION BECAUSE IT IS THE GLORY OF GOD THAT REIGNS SUPREME. SINCE OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST

IS EVERYTHING AND HE IS ALL AND IN ALL. WITHOUT HIM NOTHING EXISTS.

THE MANIFESTATION OF GOD:

WITHOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT, WHO WILL BE ABLE TO LEAD MAN. EXCEPT GOD COMING IN MANNER HE HAS DONE, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IMPOSSIBLE TO CHANGE MAN FROM EVIL TO RIGHTEOUSNESS. HE HAS COME IN ORDER TO SHOW MAN WHAT MAN HAS NEVER SEEN. WHO IN THIS WIDE WORLD EVER THOUGHT GOD WILL MANIFEST HIMSELF IN THIS WAY. AND WHICH OF YOU KNEW HE WILL HE BE ONE OF THOSE TO WALK WITH HIM? WHICH OF YOU KNEW THE MANNER HE ENTERED THIS KINGDOM AND HOW TO GET OUT. WHO AMONG US KNOWS WHAT IS TRANSPIRING. I AM IGNORANT, BUT ONE THING I KNOW IS THAT THE FATHER, SON AND HOLY SPIRIT IS DOING THE WORK. THIS WORK IS WROUGHT BY JEHOVAH GOD AND HIS CHRIST. FOR HE HAD SAID, HE WILL COME AND REIGN AND REVEAL HIS GLORY AND ALL EYES SHALL SEE HIM. THIS BIBLE IS COUNTERFEITED IN NATURE BECAUSE THEY ARE WRITINGS FROM ANGELS.

THE SOLE SPIRITUAL HEAD OF THE UNIVERSE

BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR.

EXCERPT FROM THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL : FAREWELL ADDRESS

REVEALING THE CHRIST:

This sermon is a mystery to the entire universe. It discusses nothing else but the Almighty God who is even in our midst today. HE IS THE VERY BEING THAT CAME DIED FOR THE SALVATION OF THE ENTIRE WORLD. There are things that reveal the presence and personality of God whenever He manifests on earth. These things however, should not have been revealed to "babes" like you and in fact, at this time, but to the wise and high-ranking people of the world. Nevertheless, it has pleased the Holy Spirit to unveil this wisdom to you today. In fact, the whole situation is in accordance with the statement made by Jesus the Christ as recorded in Luke 10:21

"I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and has revealed them unto babes: even so, Father, for so it seemed good in thy sight."

Jesus the Christ was a mystery child. Prophet Simeon noticed this when he was about to anoint the infant Jesus and intimated the carnal parents- Mary and Joseph about this.

Read LUKE 2:34-35 for confirmation:

"Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against; (Yea, a sword shall pierce thy own soul also) that the thoughts of many shall be revealed."

Healing the sick or raising the dead are not what revealed Christ as God; for even from the time of Moses, those

miracles were taking place. From the olden days, visions and prophesies existed and these are not the things that reveal God to man. However, the things that reveal God to man are clearly highlighted in this sermon.

People all over the world have been dying but the death of Christ had a difference. People would not have comprehended or visualized the difference between Christ and the other human beings but for the prophesy of David as recorded in Psalm 34:24

"He keepeth all his bones; not one of them is broken."

This was fulfilled accordingly. The second point which identified Jesus as the Christ was His significant crucifixion between two robbers. AND WHY WAS CHRIST CRUCIFIED BETWEEN TWO ROBBERS? Let it be known that, the spirit in Him kept the two robbers alive until when He made the pronouncement: "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit." If Christ had not surrendered His spirit into the Father's hand, he would not have died. THIS EXPLAINS THE FACT THAT THE SPIRIT IS LIFE, AND AS LONG AS IT REMAINS IN MAN, HE CANNOT DIE.

If Christ had not died at the time He was supposed to die, His bones could have been broken, according to the culture of the time. And so, when the Jews went to inspect them on the Cross, they found out that He had died; hence His bones were not broken, in fulfillment of the prophesy of David as cited above. However, the legs of the other two robbers were broken since they were not dead at the time of inspection. To test whether He was the Christ, the Jews pierced His side and instantly, water

and blood gushed out through the hole made by the spear. (John 19:32-34)

"Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him. But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs. But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water."

Though the soldier did not know the significance of what he did, his action revealed the man on the Cross as the Christ, while the blood was the son of man and the spirit was the Father.

So beloved brethren, you can see that JESUS THE CHRIST WAS GOD, THE FATHER, AMONG MEN. HE WAS ALSO CALLED THE SON OF MAN BECAUSE OF THE BLOOD IN HIM. HE WAS ALSO CALLED THE SON OF GOD DUE TO THE WATER IN HIM, AND FINALLY, GOD WHICH THE SPIRIT SIGNIFIES. So that when he said that He had surrendered His spirit, the Father departed and He then slumbered. And when the spear passed through His body, the water and blood which came out washed away all our sins and iniquities.

ONTO THIS DAY THAT BLOOD AND WATER ARE STILL FLOWING AND WASHING US CLEAN AND FREE. THIS IS WHERE OUR SALVATION COMES FROM. It was not the miracles of healing the sick, the lame, deaf, blind or raising the dead that revealed or qualified Him as the Christ; otherwise Peter, Paul and the rest of the Apostles who were able to perform same could equally have claimed His position.

BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU

……………………………………………………………………………

WHO BELIEVES IN RESURRECTION?

Our Lord Jesus Christ has advised that when you make a feast, you should invite the poor, the maimed, the lame and the blind, in order that you would be blessed, for they cannot compensate you. You would be compensated at the resurrection of the just.

About 99 percent of the population of the world does not believe in the resurrection. If you were to hope on resurrection then you would not have pitied yourself about death because death does not exist. But do what is good knowing that whatever you do, you are sowing for yourself.

THE DISCIPLES STRUGGLED AMONG THEMSELVES WHO WOULD BE THE GREATEST AMONGST THEM. BUT SINCE OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST TOOK HIS PHYSICAL EXISTENCE FROM THIS EARTH PLAIN, WHICH OF THEM STEPPED INTO HIS SHOES? NO PERSON TOOK OVER FROM HIM. EACH PERSON IS OCCUPYING HIS OWN POSITION. THERE IS THE DIVISION OF LABOUR AND NO PERSON ENCROACHES ON THE POSITION OF OTHERS. THE GOLDEN TEXT SHOULD NOW BE READ.

Golden Text: John 14:18

"I will not leave you comfortless; I am coming unto you".

WHAT IS READ TO YOU IS QUITE PLAIN. BUT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WAS SPEAKING IN THE PRESENT

CONTINUOUS TENSE. "I AM COMING BACK TO YOU." HE DID NOT SAY THAT HE WILL COME BACK TO YOU. IT IS THEREFORE, ERRONEOUS FOR YOU TO PRAY THAT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST SHOULD COME BACK AGAIN. TO WHERE DID HE GO? HE SAYS, "I AM COMING BACK." HE HAS NOT INDICATED HIS RETURN IN THE FUTURE.

A Challenge To The World That Christ Has Not Gone Anywhere Since His Resurrection:

READ THE THREE TEXTS TO THE IGNORANT AND THE FOOLS. SHOW THEM TO ALL THE INHABITANTS OF THE WORLD BECAUSE I DECLARE THIS FROM HIGH HEAVENS. WHEN THEY HOLD THE BELIEF THAT HE WILL COME BACK AGAIN, I CHALLENGE THEM.

He says it was expedient that He went away, because if He did not go away, the Comforter would not come to you; but if He went away, He would send the Comforter unto you. He says again: "except a grain of corn falls on the ground and dies, it remains alone. But if it dies it brings forth much fruit. He says finally in the golden text: "I will not leave you comfortless, I am coming unto you". This means that our Lord Jesus Christ has not left us to even one inch. He has been with mankind since His resurrection and the Father is doing His work. However, a great many people still feel that He is in the sky, while others say until He comes back again. And I ask you where has He ever been to?

Apart From Our Lord Jesus Christ, No Person Grants Your Request

HAS HE NOT ADVISED THAT WHATEVER WE ASK THE

FATHER THROUGH HIS NAME, HE WILL SURELY DO IT FOR US. HAS HE EVER ADVISED YOU TO ASK THROUGH ANY OTHER NAME OR THROUGH ANY OTHER THING? BUT HE SAYS, "IF YOU SHALL ASK ANYTHING IN MY NAME, I WILL DO IT." (JOHN 14:13). CAN SUCH A STATEMENT BE MADE BY A DEAD PERSON OR SOMEBODY WHO TRAVELS TO A DISTANT PLACE? Ask your carnal father for anything whether he will do it for you. Ask the government for anything you like, whether it will be done for you. But ask Him, He is a living person, and He will grant your request.

You do not read your Bible, and if even you read, you do not understand it. Our Lord Jesus Christ does not die forever. Do you also know that His ascension means descent? The day He ascended into heaven was the day He came down to the earth. Similarly, when He descended to the earth in His carnal manifestation, He ascended into heaven.

The story of our Lord Jesus Christ is not a simple one. The time of his birth was the time of his death and the time of His death was the time He regenerated, full of power, endowed with wisdom and powers, having power to rule the world.

By The Obedience Of One Shall Many Be Made Righteous. (Rom 5:19)

Can you notice the folly of man? Caiaphas had told the people that they knew nothing at all or would they consider that it was expedient for us, that one man should die for the people than the whole world to perish. (John 11:49-54).

Our Lord Jesus Christ was of the opinion that it was expedient that He should die because that meant coming up again. Brethren, examine critically which of the actions taken against our Lord Jesus Christ was evil. That of Caiaphas or that of those who arrested Him and His death. Because if these things did not take place, Our Lord Jesus Christ could not have come into the world.

Regeneration: To Save It Means Liberty

When you are in the flesh you are in a confinement, like somebody's movement being restricted by the four walls of a prison cell. There are certain places you cannot go or reach. But when you resurrect and become regenerated, you travel to any place at all without a passport and visa.

You can enter the flesh as well as the Spirit; enter water and the fire also. It is quite easy to enter everywhere. Can you not realize that He is the doer of the work at this end of time in the world? When I tell you that I am not the doer but He, you always laugh.

DO NOT GAZE AT THE SUN NOR ON THE MOON; DO NOT GO TO INDIA OR BRITAIN. IF SOMEBODY TELLS YOU THAT HE IS IN THE MOON, DO NOT GO BECAUSE HE HAS COME BACK, SINCE THEN; AND HE HAS BEEN HERE DOING HIS WORK EVERY TIME, EVERYWHERE. HE IS NEVER SICK, DOES NOT EXPERIENCE PAINS, HAS NO PROBLEMS.

Christ Is Omnipresent

Even the three days He was supposed to have been in the grave, He did not rest. He spent the three days destroying death and pains of death, collecting the keys

of hades and of death and taking complete dominion over hades as the King of heaven. He also released all the members bound.

Do you say again that our Lord Jesus Christ is in the sky, because He is always in the sky. He is in the sun, the moon, in the forest, inside water. He is in your heart; He is in your house walking majestically and boldly. CALL EVERY TIME WITHOUT GETTING TIRED. HE IS HUMAN, HE IS THE SPIRIT, HE IS FIRE AND AIR AND WATER, HE IS ALL AND IN ALL.

Flesh And Blood Cannot Serve God. (1 Cor 15:50/ Matt 16:17)

Do not be proud that you are doing the work. It is our Lord Jesus Christ who does the work. Do not be conceited that somebody is capable of doing everything. No flesh and blood can do the work apart from our Lord Jesus Christ. That is why you are advised to mortify the flesh and live by the spirit. If you mortify the flesh, you will be one Spirit with Him. THOUGH WE HAVE KNOWN OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST AFTER THE FLESH, YET NOW AND HENCEFORTH WE KNOW HIM NO MORE LIKE THAT. (2 COR 5:16)

You only need to refrain from drinking, fornication, adultery, falsehood, theft and the rest of the vices and surrender yourself to Him, see Him, serve Him and dwell with Him and He will gain dominion over all and He will be seen lavishly everywhere.

Brotherhood Is The Kingdom Of God!

Do you not remember that people in the world address you as witches and wizards? This is based on the little faith you have, because you are being seen physically everywhere. Two or three persons confess they see you at the same time, in their houses, at the hospital, you converse with them, whether they close their eyes or not and so they conclude that yours is not a church but one of the most powerful witchcraft cults. They see you both physically and spiritually; you are being seen in the moon and in the stars, in water and everywhere. That is why no matter what explanations you put forward, they do not seem convinced that yours is not a secret society but insist that you belong to a very powerful cult.

You Work Harder After Regeneration!

Many of you argue that you have gone overseas. I tell you, you have been travelling down there; you are entering inside water and loosening those that are bound in chains, you are climbing to great heights and loosening the ropes. You are entering everywhere and releasing all those who are chained; and liberating all those in bondage. You go to the hospitals and liberate those affected by the machinations of the evil ones. That is why they conclude that your witchcraft is the most powerful in the world.

Those who are Christ's have crucified their flesh with the affections and lusts, and are now living in the spirit. (Gal 5:24). This is a spiritual warfare. You need no candle or incense or perfume or any other thing. But wherever you go to, people are always petrified with such fear and astonishment that they openly say that the wizards and witches have arrived again. The spirits will reveal to the

people what you are; and the elemental spirits of the universe will bow down to you.

Mortify The Flesh With Its Lusts And Affections! (Rom 8:13).

Have you not been confronted with the question, to what society do you belong? As small as you are, if you are seen in the spirit, people would be bamboozled. One person alone to enter Calabar would ward off all evils and render all charms useless. That is why it sounds unbelievable to them that you should be a man of God. The world does not believe but insist that you are a witch or a wizard. For the flesh lusts against the spirit and the spirit against the flesh, and these are contradictory to the other, so that you cannot do the things that you should. (Rom 8:5-8). If, therefore, you mortify the flesh, you will live in the spirit.

The doctrines delivered to you, have never existed anywhere else in the world. This marks the end of the period when ever-lasting gospels are given to you.

Brethren, I do not intend to be tedious unto you, one stroke of the cane is sufficient for the wise. Those who have ears, let them hear. May God bless His Words. Amen.

I WANT TO TELL YOU WHY CHRIST WAS CRUCIFIED BETWEEN TWO THIEVES.

THE TWO THIEVES ON THE CROSS:

Christ Is The Mediator Of The New Covenant

I want to tell you why He was crucified between two thieves, one on His left and the other on his right hand side (Luke 23:33). Even the professors of religion do not know the meaning of the two thieves being crucified on either side.

The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit constitute the Triune God. Love hope and faith constitute one God. The three persons on the cross meant one person in effect. Thursday is a great day. Friday and Saturday are also great days. These three days were meant for three important celebrations of the Jews. He was crucified in the middle of the two thieves because He is the mediator of the New Covenant. The thief on His left signifies that from the time of Adam until the advent of the Christ there was no single righteous man. The Bible has truly stated there is none righteous, no, not one (Rom 3:10). And so the thief on the left signified that from Adam until He came, there was no righteous person. All of them were thieves(JOHN 10:8). And so it is His blood that saved and justified all those who lived from the time of Adam until His advent.

The thief on the right hand symbolizes that right from His advent until eternity, there is no righteous person, and there will never be. It is His blood alone that saved mankind throughout eternity. He is the First and the Last (Rev 22:13). This indeed is the significance of the crucifixion. IF IN A THOUSAND YEARS TIME SOMEBODY COMES TO TELL YOU THAT HE IS YOUR SAVIOUR, DO NOT BELIEVE HIM. IT IS OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST ALONE WHO IS OUR SAVIOUR. UNTIL ETERNITY HE IS THE ONLY SAVIOUR. RIGHT FROM ADAM, IF MOSES OR ANY OTHER PERSON IS MENTIONED AS YOUR SAVIOUR, THAT IS ERRONEOUS. IT IS OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST ALONE WHO IS THE SAVIOUR OF THE WHOLE WORLD; AND HE HAS NO DEPUTY.

Our Lord Jesus Christ, The Saviour Of The World

God has always done His thing in a marvelous way. That is why when you see something that is not clean, you attribute it to Satan. Whatever has a fault is Satan. That is why we use this opportunity to tell you that there is no other Savior apart from Him. Our Lord Jesus Christ is the Savior of the whole world. He is the Beginning and the End; the First and the Last. That is why He alone has the right to judge the just and the unjust. He alone loves man. Whether you are a thief or a liar, Our Lord Jesus Christ loves you because He alone has mercy.

That is why the Father says, after those days I will put my laws into their minds and will write them in their hearts. A

neighbor shall not teach his neighbor and a brother shall not teach his brother, saying, know the Lord. For they shall all know me from the least to the greatest. Because I will be merciful to their unrighteousness and their sins and iniquities I will remember no more. (Heb. 8:11-12). Right from the sin of Adam until eternity, God does not remember our sins again. This has been accomplished by the death of Our Lord Jesus Christ on the cross between the two thieves.

This lesson is given to you so that you may know that He is your Saviour. It is not your father or mother or brother or Abraham who has saved you. Our Lord Jesus Christ is the only Saviour of the world. He is the Son of man, the Son of God and God Himself. The second lesson will now be read.

Second Bible Lesson: Matthew 12:40

"For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the whale, so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth."

Have you heard that? Since the Jews seek for signs and the Greeks for wisdom, that is the sign that He showed to them. That as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale's belly, so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. Is it not clear to you from this what is meant by the Trinity God?

The Godheads

Thursday represented one God-head, Friday represented another God-head and Saturday another; and so we have tri-personal God. That is why we baptize in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. That is why also everything is shared here equally. That explains why baptism in Brotherhood is quite different from baptism in any other place in the world. During the first immersion, it is said, "I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." You repeat the same words during the second and the third immersions. These make up three which is one in effect. Feel the pulses in your body during celebrations such as this. All the sicknesses you came with, court cases, sins, poverty and your lack, including the old body you came with, all are taken away by these observances which you honor. That is what has deluded the whole world, and they keep asking the type of Bible you have. What actually is being done in Brotherhood? They do not know that these observances we celebrate are very significant. The various commemorative celebrations and observances constitute the power in Brotherhood. These constitute the Holy Spirit, love and peace which you find in the Kingdom. His blood is flooding in the whole world now, taking away deaths and tribulations and afflictions

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

There were two thieves, one on either side of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Argue then that there was any righteous man from Adam until His advent. But you argue that you have no sin. From Adam until eternity the world is full of thieves. He alone is the righteous one. He has redeemed us with His blood. What do you lose to admit that you are a sinner? Our Lord Jesus Christ takes away your sins and makes you clean the moment you admit that you are a sinner and that He died for you. Mention any righteous man on earth. We are all thieves as evidenced by the two thieves on His either side. We are saved by grace for His sake. He is the only Mediator. If you involve Him in anything it will work well but when you exclude him, there is no success. He alone has come to mediate for the whole world because He is the only righteous one. He intercedes for all the creations of God. Let our Golden text be read.

Excerpt from the gospel : OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WAS CRUCIFIED ON THURSDAY, NOT FRIDAY

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

AND WHY WAS CHRIST CRUCIFIED BETWEEN TWO ROBBERS?

People all over the world have been dying but the death of Christ had a difference. People would not have

comprehended or visualized the difference between Christ and the other human beings but for the prophesy of David as recorded in Psalm 34:24

"He keepeth all his bones; not one of them is broken."

This was fulfilled accordingly. The second point which identified Jesus as the Christ was His significant crucifixion between two robbers. AND WHY WAS CHRIST CRUCIFIED BETWEEN TWO ROBBERS? LET IT BE KNOWN THAT, THE SPIRIT IN HIM KEPT THE TWO ROBBERS ALIVE UNTIL WHEN HE MADE THE PRONOUNCEMENT: "FATHER, INTO THY HANDS I COMMEND MY SPIRIT." IF CHRIST HAD NOT SURRENDERED HIS SPIRIT INTO THE FATHER'S HAND, HE WOULD NOT HAVE DIED. THIS EXPLAINS THE FACT THAT THE SPIRIT IS LIFE, AND AS LONG AS IT REMAINS IN MAN, HE CANNOT DIE.

If Christ had not died at the time He was supposed to die, His bones could have been broken, according to the culture of the time. And so, when the Jews went to inspect them on the Cross, they found out that He had died; hence His bones were not broken, in fulfillment of the prophesy of David as cited above. However, the legs of the other two robbers were broken since they were not dead at the time of inspection. To test whether He was the Christ, the Jews pierced His side and instantly, water and blood gushed out through the hole made by the spear. (John 19:32-34)

"Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him. But when

they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs. But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water."

Though the soldier did not know the significance of what he did, his action revealed the man on the Cross as the Christ, while the blood was the son of man and the spirit was the Father.

So beloved brethren, you can see that JESUS THE CHRIST WAS GOD, THE FATHER, AMONG MEN. HE WAS ALSO CALLED THE SON OF MAN BECAUSE OF THE BLOOD IN HIM. HE WAS ALSO CALLED THE SON OF GOD DUE TO THE WATER IN HIM, AND FINALLY, GOD WHICH THE SPIRIT SIGNIFIES. So that when he said that He had surrendered His spirit, the Father departed and He then slumbered. And when the spear passed through His body, the water and blood which came out washed away all our sins and iniquities.

ONTO THIS DAY THAT BLOOD AND WATER ARE STILL FLOWING AND WASHING US CLEAN AND FREE. THIS IS WHERE OUR SALVATION COMES FROM. It was not the miracles of healing the sick, the lame, deaf, blind or raising the dead that revealed or qualified Him as the Christ; otherwise Peter, Paul and the rest of the Apostles who were able to perform same could equally have claimed His position.

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

LET ME REITERATE THIS QUESTION. WHY WAS CHRIST CRUCIFIED IN THE MIDDLE OF TWO ROBBERS?

Recall that one of the robbers was placed on His left while the other was on His right hand side. What is the meaning of his arrangement? It is said that only the king knows the secret of his kingdom. At JOHN 10:8, Our Lord Jesus Christ said: "All that ever came before me were thieves and robbers and the sheep did not hear them."

The arrangement of the robbers with Christ is a MYSTERY which no man had ever revealed and it has pleased the Holy Spirit to reveal it today: FROM THE FIRST CREATION OF ADAM TO OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, ALL HAD ERRED AND COMMITTED INIQUITIES. AND TO REVEAL THAT THERE WAS NO RIGHTEOUS MAN ON EARTH, OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WAS PLACED IN THE MIDDLE OF THESE SINNERS. THE FIRST ROBBER ON HIS LEFT CONNOTES THE PERIOD FROM ADAM TO CHRIST. THEN FROM CHRIST IN THE CENTER TO THE OTHER ROBBER ON THE RIGHT REPRESENTS THE PERIOD OF THE ADVENT OF CHRIST TO ETERNITY. THIS INVARIABLY MEANS THAT FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD TO ETERNITY, THERE IS NO JUST MAN OR PERFECT MAN. (Romans 3:10-11).

THEREFORE, CHRIST BEING PLACED IN THE MIDDLE OF THESE TWO PERIODS SIGNIFIES THAT HE IS THE ONLY SOURCE OF SALVATION AND MEDIATOR FOR ALL GENERATIONS. Read the first Lesson below.
