THE EXPECTED MESSIAH

Heb 10:37 For yet a little while, and he that shall
come will come, and will not tarry.

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

Joh 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall
give you another Comforter, that he may abide
with you for ever;
Joh 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world
cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither
knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth
with you, and shall be in you.
Joh 14:18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will
come to you.
Joh 14:19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me
no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall
live also.
Heb 10:37 FOR YET A LITTLE WHILE, AND HE THAT
SHALL COME WILL COME, AND WILL NOT TARRY.

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

ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the
promise.
Heb 10:37 For yet a little while, and he that shall
come will come, and will not tarry.
Heb 10:38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any
man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in
him.
Heb 10:39 But we are not of them who draw back
unto perdition; but of them that believe to the
saving of the soul.

2Co 4:7 BUT WE HAVE THIS TREASURE IN

EARTHEN VESSELS, THAT THE EXCELLENCY OF
THE POWER MAY BE OF GOD, AND NOT OF US.
2Co 4:5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ
Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for
Jesus' sake.
2Co 4:6 For God, who commanded the light to shine
out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give
the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in
the face of Jesus Christ.
2Co 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen
vessels, that the excellency of the power may be
of God, and not of us.
Joh 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and
keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that
loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will
love him, and will manifest myself to him.
Joh 14:22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord,
how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us,
and not unto the world?
Joh 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a
man love me, he will keep my words: and my
Father will love him, and we will come unto him,
and make our abode with him.
Joh 14:24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my
sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine,
but the Father's which sent me.
Joh 14:25 These things have I spoken unto you,
being yet present with you.
Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy
Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he
shall teach you all things, and bring all things to
your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto
you.

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

ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of
man, the things which God hath prepared for them
that love him.
1Co 2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his
Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the
deep things of God.
1Co 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man,
save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the
things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of
God.
1Co 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the
world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might
know the things that are freely given to us of God.

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

THAT IT HATED ME BEFORE IT HATED YOU.

PERSECUTION

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

hated me before it hated you.
Joh 15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would
love his own: but because ye are not of the world,
but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore
the world hateth you.
Joh 15:20 Remember the word that I said unto you,
The servant is not greater than his lord. If they
have persecuted me, they will also persecute you;
if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours
also.
Joh 15:21 But all these things will they do unto you
for my name's sake, because they know not him
that sent me.
Joh 15:22 If I had not come and spoken unto them,
they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke
for their sin.
Joh 15:23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
Joh 15:24 If I had not done among them the works
which none other man did, they had not had sin:
but now have they both seen and hated both me
and my Father.
Joh 15:25 But this cometh to pass, that the word
might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They
hated me without a cause.

Act 20:28 TAKE HEED THEREFORE UNTO

YOURSELVES, AND TO ALL THE FLOCK, OVER THE
WHICH THE HOLY GHOST HATH MADE YOU
OVERSEERS, TO FEED THE CHURCH OF GOD,
WHICH HE HATH PURCHASED WITH HIS OWN
BLOOD.
Act 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and
to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath
made you overseers, to feed the church of God,
which he hath purchased with his own blood.
Act 20:29 For I know this, that after my departing
shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not
sparing the flock.
Act 20:30 Also of your own selves shall men arise,
speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples
after them.

2Co 3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the
Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
2Co 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in
a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the
same image from glory to glory, even as by the
Spirit of the Lord.

Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and

dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory,
the glory as of the only begotten of the
Father,) full of grace and truth.

SO TODAY THAT GOD HAS COME TO DWELL

WITH YOU.

*NOW GOD HAS COME TO CHANGE PEOPLE, AND

SANCTIFY THEM FOR HIMSELF

*FOR THEY MUST SEE GOD IN HIS FULL GLORY

AND MAJESTY NOW.
When Jesus Christ was on the Cross He cried with a
loud voice: "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken
me?" (Matt 27:46 / Mark 15:34). If God did not get out
from Him, He would not have been killed. SO TODAY
THAT GOD HAS COME TO DWELL WITH YOU. WHAT
CAN A MAN DO TO YOU? WHY DO YOU PANIC AND
FEAR? YOU HAVE MAXIMUM PROTECTION,
SECURITY AND SATISFACTION. FOR AGES NOW
MAN HAS TRIED BY HIS OWN EFFORTS TO FORSAKE
SIN. BUT HE HAS BEEN UNABLE. BUT NOW GOD
HAS COME TO CHANGE PEOPLE, AND SANCTIFY
THEM FOR HIMSELF. LET ALL THOSE WHO DO NOT
BELIEVE IN THE EXISTENCE OF GOD WEEP; FOR
THEY MUST SEE GOD IN HIS FULL GLORY AND
MAJESTY NOW. May we hear the golden text.

AND THAT WE MAY BE DELIVERED FROM

UNREASONABLE AND WICKED MEN: FOR ALL MEN
HAVE NOT FAITH.
2Th 3:1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word
of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified,
even as it is with you: 2Th 3:2 And that we may be
delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for
all men have not faith. 2Th 3:3 But the Lord is
faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from
evil.

SUCCESSOR
*Those who spend their time to think of a successor
to Leader Obu when He dies are very unreasonable
people. And those who are outside, and are trying to
see the end of Leader Obu so that Brotherhood may
cease to function, are also very, very unreasonable.
Is the work in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star
done by the leader? Whether I am here or not; one
thing stands out. These works will continue because
the doer is here by Himself; and He is God, the
Father. Many of you have been stricken with fear
when you hear that you will no more see the Leader.
That is to put faith in you. When you see before you
believe; that is not faith. Faith is the assured
expectation of things hoped for, the evident
demonstration of realities though not beheld.

BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU

THE BIG PEOPLE: THE OPPOSITION

I predict, at all times, the future of this Kingdom; but
you doubt me. However, these predictions have
manifested in several occasions. For instance, some
years ago, I told you that the various fellowships
were established only as a matter of convenience
and that individuals will initiate and execute projects
in this Kingdom. That has come to pass. I also told
you that a time shall come when brethren shall go
abroad on evangelism. That also has been fulfilled.
The students have always been in the forefront to
introduce new ideas in Brotherhood of the Cross and
Star; some of which were vehemently objected to by
others. For instance, the inscription LEADER
OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU, THE SOLE SPIRITUAL
HEAD was introduced by the Christ's Students. This
idea met with tough resistance from BCS members.
The situation would have resulted into something
else but for the intervention of the Father. The
statement in the Bible which states: "But he that
shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved"
(Matthew 24:13) has been fulfilled.

Christ's Students Commissioned as Teachers

Those who were regarded as slaves and house-helps
are now my representatives. Having left their
parents and material things to serve the Father, the
Father has now exalted them. Accordingly, the
Christ's Students should be accorded the respect
they deserve. This is the time they should occupy
their rightful position. Christ's Students Udofia and
Mary have now been fully accredited as the Father's
mouthpiece in their respective countries. Other
Christ's Students have been given the full authority
to go round the world and teach members the truth
and direct them on the affairs of the Kingdom.
Whoever does not recognize God hates himself.

EXCERPT FROM THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL :
FAREWELL ADDRESS

THE HOLY SPIRIT IN AFRICA

THE HOLY SPIRIT IS HERE:
* IF IT WERE POSSIBLE FOR MANKIND, AND IN FACT
THE CHURCHES, TO HAVE A MORE POWERFUL
BEING WHO IS CAPABLE OF ELIMINATING THE
HOLY FATHER, THEY WOULD HAVE EMPLOYED
SUCH A PERSON.
In the past God manifested Himself into various
forms, such as stone, tree, horse, corn, birds, other
animals etc. But each time He manifested Himself,
the world got hold of Him and ate Him as food or just
eliminated Him. Human beings have always been
watching and waiting for His Advent. THIS TIME
AROUND HE HAS COME WELL PREPARED. As the
world was waiting to devour Him, He was getting
ready to take the world by surprise. HE HAS COME
TO ASSERT TO MANKIND HIS SUPREMACY. IF IT
WERE POSSIBLE FOR MANKIND, AND IN FACT THE
CHURCHES, TO HAVE A MORE POWERFUL BEING
WHO IS CAPABLE OF ELIMINATING THE HOLY
FATHER, THEY WOULD HAVE EMPLOYED SUCH A
PERSON.
Men are mourning and gnashing their teeth. They are
now at cross roads. Now is the time for all men to
refrain from all vices, otherwise, they should pray
fervently for themselves. What is needed is complete
abstention from sin and total submission unto God.
Anyone who surrenders himself to God does not
need to eat or drink conventional food and water. It
is the Holy Spirit that will feed and sustain the one.

*OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST CAME IN HUMAN FORM

exposed to certain stumbling accidents, but now, HE
HAS COME, NOT TO MOVE PHYSICALLY FROM
PLACE TO PLACE BUT TO WROUGHT WONDERS
FROM A CORNER OF THE WORLD

HOLY SPIRIT IN AFRICA

THE YOUTH FELLOWSHIP:

Don't you know that man is the most expensive
asset in the world? Even if he has crooked legs,
broken eyes, he is very useful in the world. He has
an assignment. WHEN IN 1977 THE CHURCHES IN
CALABAR AND ALL OVER THE COUNTRY UNITED
TOGETHER TO WAGE WAR AGAINST
BROTHERHOOD, THE YOUTH FELLOWSHIP WAS
FORMED TO COUNTER THE EVIL INTENTIONS OF
THE CHURCHES. The so-called BIG MEN ran away
and hid themselves. Members of those churches
thought they were warring with the Father alone and
that they could catch Him as they did to our Lord
Jesus Christ. They did not know that there is a
multitude that they could not cope with. The big men
had their role to play while others carried out the
combat. They went on doing underground work,
urging others to go on with their support, financial or
otherwise. If you go to government, police or any
place throughout the nation, Brotherhood is there.
Every one of us has different assignments. What a
truthful person can do, a liar cannot do it. A liar, a
thief, a fornicator and the rest of the people have
their different assignments. No person is completely
useless. THAT IS WHY DEATH IS NOT YET
DESTROYED BECAUSE IT HAS NOT COMPLETED ITS
OWN ASSIGNMENT. IF THERE IS ANYTHING GOING
WRONG SOMEWHERE, IT WILL BE INFORMED TO GO
AND DO ITS WORK.
That is why when you are told to forsake sins, you
frown that you are doing it bit by bit, saying that you
are only doing it as a hobby, to safeguard something
that, afterwards you will take your hands off
everything entirely.
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT:
THE GOVERNMENT HAS REALIZED THAT IT IS
UNWISE TO CONTINUE TO EXECUTE MURDERERS,
BUT THEY HAVE TO DO IT, OTHERWISE ANY
PERSON CAN JUST TAKE UP A KNIFE AND GET TO
THE MARKET AND START CUTTING OFF PEOPLE'S
HEAD WITHOUT ANY CAUSE. THEY ARE JUST
PUNISHING THEM TO KEEP DOWN THE MENACE. IT
IS ONLY WHEN THE FULLNESS OF TIME COMES
THAT THEY WILL COMPLETELY ABANDON THE IDEA
OF KILLING THE MURDERERS.

Excerpt from: EVERY CREATION HAS A SPCIFIC
ASSIGNMENT

2Ti 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous
times shall come.
2Ti 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves,
covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers,
disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
2Ti 3:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers,
false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of
those that are good,
2Ti 3:4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of
pleasures more than lovers of God;
2Ti 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the
power thereof: from such turn away.
2Ti 3:6 For of this sort are they which creep into
houses, and lead captive silly women laden with
sins, led away with divers lusts,
2Ti 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the
knowledge of the truth.
2Ti 3:8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood
Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of
corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
2Ti 3:9 But they shall proceed no further: for their
folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also
was.

A GREAT FIGHT AGAINST GOD:

* Contrary to the purpose, for which they were
ordained, the ordained ones have turned it to a
symbol of influence and terror. They feel all should
bow down and worship them because they are
ordained.
* I have not ordained anybody a Bishop so that he
may rob shoulders with Me or rule over anybody.
Ordination is a mere formality. It is no passport for
you to cause commotion in the fold.
* I HAVE NOT ORDAINED YOU TO LORD OVER
ANYBODY RATHER, I HAVE ORDAINED YOU TO GO
INTO THE WORLD AND SPREAD THE WORD OF GOD
* THEY PREFER TO GO ROUND THE REMOTE AREAS,
TELLING THE BRETHREN THERE TO WORSHIP THEM
THAT THE FATHER HAS SENT THEM TO RULE THEM.
They do not even know how to preach the word of
God, not to mention of them practicing it.
If you appreciate positions and agitate to be there
for life, like most of you are fond of doing, it then
means you have forgotten about the main object of
your call to this Kingdom. Where then lies your hope
of survival in the turbulent days ahead? GONE ARE
THE DAYS WHEN THE FLESH WAS RULING THE
WORLD. THIS IS THE ERA OF THE ELECTS OF GOD
AND THEIR FATHER. You would recall, when the
mother of the two sons of Zebedee requested of
Christ to give her two sons, the authority to sit by
His sides in the Kingdom of God, Christ told her that
it is not His place to grant such request, but that it
shall be given to them for whom it is prepared for by
His Father. Matthew 20: 20-23 And again you have
been warned not to call any man teacher, for all men
are brethren. THERE IS ONLY ONE MASTER AND
THAT IS CHRIST. THE EFFECT OF THIS HAS COME
TO PLAY IN YOUR MIDST TODAY.
At the moment, there is no doubt that if Brotherhood
of the Cross and Star were to be a man-made
Kingdom, the so-called ordained ones would have
destroyed it, even before now. They have used their
capacity as ordained ones to stage a great fight
against God. But unfortunately, they have not
succeeded. I HAVE NOT ORDAINED YOU TO LORD
OVER ANYBODY RATHER, I HAVE ORDAINED YOU
TO GO INTO THE WORLD AND SPREAD THE WORD
OF GOD. You are not ordained because of your good
works rather you were ordained so that the power to
heal the sick, raise the dead and spread the gospel
would be bestowed on you. You are not supposed to
apply this power negatively but positively which is
the purpose for which it was meant.

Contrary to the purpose, for which they were

ordained, the ordained ones have turned it to a
symbol of influence and terror. They feel all should
bow down and worship them because they are
ordained. They allege all their actions to be right,
simple because they are ordained. Most of them,
from the day they were ordained till date, they have
not entered the hall again. THEY PREFER TO GO
ROUND THE REMOTE AREAS, TELLING THE
BRETHREN THERE TO WORSHIP THEM THAT THE
FATHER HAS SENT THEM TO RULE THEM. They do
not even know how to preach the word of God, not to
mention of them practicing it.
They command and scold people at the slightest
misdeed and proclaim themselves big men. In fact, if
these so-called ordained ones were to be given the
go ahead, they would have really dealt hard with
others. I have not ordained anybody a Bishop so that
he may rob shoulders with Me or rule over anybody.
Ordination is a mere formality. It is no passport for
you to cause commotion in the fold. Position or no
position, if you do not practice the word of God, you
are perished. But as many as practice the word of
God, they are free and worthy of the Kingdom.

Do not allow your head to get swollen because

you have been ordained. Do not be misled by the lust
for the material things of this world at the expense
of the work of God else, you will not be counted
worthy of this Kingdom. I have not ordained anybody
to confirm the existence of a particular tribe,
interest group or state, in the scheme of things in
this Kingdom. This is a universal Kingdom, devoid
any form of division. There is nothing like factions in
this fold. No Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Rivers etc. We
are all one, as far as this Kingdom is concerned.

Excerpt from: EVILS OF MATERIALISM
IF THOU HADST KNOWN, EVEN THOU, AT LEAST IN
THIS THY DAY, THE THINGS WHICH BELONG
UNTO THY PEACE! BUT NOW THEY ARE HID FROM
THINE EYES.
Luk 19:37 And when he was come nigh, even now at
the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole
multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and
praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty
works that they had seen;
Luk 19:38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh
in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory
in the highest.
Luk 19:39 And some of the Pharisees from among
the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy
disciples.
Luk 19:40 And he answered and said unto them, I
tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the
stones would immediately cry out.
Luk 19:41 And when he was come near, he beheld
the city, and wept over it,
Luk 19:42 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at
least in this thy day, the things which belong unto
thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.
Luk 19:43 For the days shall come upon thee, that
thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and
compass thee round, and keep thee in on every
side,
Luk 19:44 And shall lay thee even with the ground,
and thy children within thee; and they shall not
leave in thee one stone upon another; because
thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.

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

unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.
Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be
afraid.
Joh 14:28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go
away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye
would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father:
for my Father is greater than I.

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

MADE BOTH ONE, AND HATH BROKEN DOWN
THE MIDDLE WALL OF PARTITION BETWEEN
US;
Eph 2:11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time
past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called
Uncircumcision by that which is called the
Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
Eph 2:12 That at that time ye were without Christ,
being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and
strangers from the covenants of promise, having
no hope, and without God in the world:
Eph 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes
were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
Eph 2:14 For he is our peace, who hath made both
one, and hath broken down the middle wall of
partition between us;

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

to cast out them that sold therein, and them that
bought;
Luk 19:46 Saying unto them, It is written, My house
is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of
thieves.
Luk 19:47 And he taught daily in the temple. But the
chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the
people sought to destroy him,
Luk 19:48 And could not find what they might do: for
all the people were very attentive to hear him.

LOOKING UNTO JESUS THE AUTHOR AND

FINISHER OF OUR FAITH; (HEB 12:2)
Heb 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed
about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay
aside every weight, and the sin which doth so
easily beset us, and let us run with patience the
race that is set before us,
Heb 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher
of our faith; who for the joy that was set before
 him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is
set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Heb 12:3 For consider him that endured such
contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be
wearied and faint in your minds.

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

CONFUSION, BUT OF PEACE, AS IN ALL
CHURCHES OF THE SAINTS.
1Co 14:32 And the spirits of the prophets are
subject to the prophets.
1Co 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion,
but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

BUT IF ANY MAN BE IGNORANT, LET HIM

BE IGNORANT. (1Co 14:38)
1Co 14:37 If any man think himself to be a prophet,
or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things
that I write unto you are the commandments of the
Lord.
1Co 14:38 But if any man be ignorant, let him be
ignorant.

Act 20:21 TESTIFYING BOTH TO THE JEWS, AND

ALSO TO THE GREEKS, REPENTANCE TOWARD
 GOD, AND FAITH TOWARD OUR LORD JESUS
CHRIST.
PAULS CONFESSION:
HOWBEIT FOR THIS CAUSE I OBTAINED MERCY,
THAT IN ME FIRST JESUS CHRIST MIGHT SHEW
FORTH ALL LONGSUFFERING, FOR A PATTERN TO
THEM WHICH SHOULD HEREAFTER BELIEVE ON
HIM TO LIFE EVERLASTING.
1Ti 1:12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath
enabled me, for that he counted me faithful,
putting me into the ministry;
1Ti 1:13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a
persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy,
because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
1Ti 1:14 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding
abundant with faith and love which is in Christ
Jesus.
1Ti 1:15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all
acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world
to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
1Ti 1:16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy,
that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all
longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should
hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.
1Ti 1:17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal,
invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory
for ever and ever. Amen.
Act 20:18 And when they were come to him, he said
unto them, Ye know, from the first day that I came
into Asia, after what manner I have been with you
at all seasons,
Act 20:19 Serving the Lord with all humility of mind,
and with many tears, and temptations, which befell
me by the lying in wait of the Jews:
Act 20:20 And how I kept back nothing that was
profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and
have taught you publickly, and from house to
house,
Act 20:21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to
the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith
toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
Act 20:22 And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit
unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall
befall me there:
Act 20:23 Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in
every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide
me.
Act 20:24 But none of these things move me, neither
count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might
finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I
have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the
gospel of the grace of God.
Act 20:28 TAKE HEED THEREFORE UNTO
YOURSELVES, AND TO ALL THE FLOCK, OVER THE
WHICH THE HOLY GHOST HATH MADE YOU
OVERSEERS, TO FEED THE CHURCH OF GOD,
WHICH HE HATH PURCHASED WITH HIS OWN
BLOOD.

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

among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom
of God, shall see my face no more.
Act 20:26 Wherefore I take you to record this day,
that I am pure from the blood of all men.
Act 20:27 For I have not shunned to declare unto
you all the counsel of God.
Act 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and
to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath
made you overseers, to feed the church of God,
which he hath purchased with his own blood.
Act 20:29 For I know this, that after my departing
shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not
sparing the flock.
Act 20:30 Also of your own selves shall men arise,
speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples
after them.
Act 20:31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by
the space of three years I ceased not to warn
every one night and day with tears.
Act 20:32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God,
and to the word of his grace, which is able to build
you up, and to give you an inheritance among all
them which are sanctified.

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

and one convert him;
Jas 5:20 Let him know, that he which converteth the
sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul
from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.

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

Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift
you as wheat:
Luk 22:32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith
fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen
thy brethren.
Luk 22:33 And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to
go with thee, both into prison, and to death.
Luk 22:34 And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock
shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt
thrice deny that thou knowest me.
1Co 14:20 BRETHREN, BE NOT CHILDREN IN
UNDERSTANDING: HOWBEIT IN MALICE BE YE
CHILDREN, BUT IN UNDERSTANDING BE MEN.
1Co 14:19 Yet in the church I had rather speak five
words with my understanding, that by my voice I
might teach others also, than ten thousand words
in an unknown tongue.
1Co 14:20 Brethren, be not children in
understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children,
but in understanding be men.
1Co 14:21 In the law it is written, With men of other
tongues and other lips will I speak unto this
people; and yet for all that will they not hear me,
saith the Lord.
1Co 14:22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to
them that believe, but to them that believe not: but
prophesying serveth not for them that believe not,
but for them which believe.

BUT HAVE RENOUNCED THE HIDDEN THINGS OF

DISHONESTY, NOT WALKING IN CRAFTINESS,
NOR HANDLING THE WORD OF GOD DECEITFULLY
2Co 4:1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as
we have received mercy, we faint not;
2Co 4:2 But have renounced the hidden things of
dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling
the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation
 of the truth commending ourselves to every man's
conscience in the sight of God.
2Co 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them
that are lost:
2Co 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded
the minds of them which believe not, lest the light
of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image
of God, should shine unto them.

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

pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might
believe.
Joh 14:30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you:
for the prince of this world cometh, and hath
nothing in me.
Joh 14:31 But that the world may know that I love
the Father; and as the Father gave me
commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go
hence.

2Ti 3:9 BUT THEY SHALL PROCEED NO

FURTHER: FOR THEIR FOLLY SHALL BE
MANIFEST UNTO ALL MEN, AS THEIRS ALSO
WAS.
PERILOUS TIMES

2Ti 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous
times shall come.
2Ti 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves,
covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers,
disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
2Ti 3:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers,
false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of
those that are good,
2Ti 3:4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of
pleasures more than lovers of God;
2Ti 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the
power thereof: from such turn away.
2Ti 3:6 For of this sort are they which creep into
houses, and lead captive silly women laden with
sins, led away with divers lusts,
2Ti 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the
knowledge of the truth.
2Ti 3:8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood
Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of
corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
2Ti 3:9 But they shall proceed no further: for their
folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also
was.

PROVERBS

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

proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no
 more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew
you plainly of the Father.
Joh 16:26 At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I
say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you:
Joh 16:27 For the Father himself loveth you,
because ye have loved me, and have believed that
I came out from God.
Joh 16:28 I came forth from the Father, and am
come into the world: again, I leave the world, and
go to the Father.
Joh 16:29 His disciples said unto him, Lo, now
speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.
Joh 16:30 Now are we sure that thou knowest all
things, and needest not that any man should ask
thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth
from God.
Joh 16:31 Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?

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

him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
Mat 13:11 He answered and said unto them,
Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries
of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not
given.
Mat 13:12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given,
and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever
hath not, from him shall be taken away even that
he hath.
Mat 13:13 Therefore speak I to them in parables:
because they seeing see not; and hearing they
hear not, neither do they understand.
Mat 13:14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of
Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and
shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and
shall not perceive:
Mat 13:15 For this people's heart is waxed gross,
and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes
they have closed; lest at any time they should see
with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and
should understand with their heart, and should be
converted, and I should heal them.
Mat 13:16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see:
and your ears, for they hear.
Mat 13:17 For verily I say unto you, That many
prophets and righteous men have desired to see
those things which ye see, and have not seen
them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and
have not heard them.

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

in trespasses and sins;
Eph 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to
the course of this world, according to the prince of
the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in
the children of disobedience:
Eph 2:3 Among whom also we all had our
conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh,
fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind;
and were by nature the children of wrath, even as
others.
Eph 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great
love wherewith he loved us,
Eph 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath
quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are
saved;)
Eph 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us
sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

GREATER LOVE:
Joh 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a
man lay down his life for his friends.
Joh 15:14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I
command you.
Joh 15:15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the
servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I
have called you friends; for all things that I have
heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
Joh 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen
you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring
forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that
whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name,
he may give it you.
Joh 15:17 These things I command you, that ye love
one another.

THE WISE AND PRUDENT

Mat 11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I
thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth,
because thou hast hid these things from the wise
and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.
Mat 11:26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in
thy sight.
Mat 11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my
Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the
Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save
the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal
him.
Mat 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are
heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Mat 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me;
for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find
rest unto your souls.
Mat 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is
light.

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

will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit
of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he
shall testify of me:
Joh 15:27 And ye also shall bear witness, because
ye have been with me from the beginning.

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

disciples, and of his doctrine.
Joh 18:20 Jesus answered him, I spake openly to
the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in
the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in
secret have I said nothing.
Joh 18:21 Why askest thou me? ask them which
heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they
know what I said.
Joh 18:22 And when he had thus spoken, one of the
officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm
of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest
so?
Joh 18:23 Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil,
bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest
thou me?

THAT I SHOULD BEAR WITNESS UNTO THE

TRUTH. EVERY ONE THAT IS OF THE TRUTH
HEARETH MY VOICE.
Joh 18:37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a
king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am
a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause
came I into the world, that I should bear witness
 Every one that is of the truth
unto the truth.
heareth my voice.

Joh 18:33 Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall

again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art
thou the King of the Jews?
Joh 18:34 Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this
thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?
Joh 18:35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own
nation and the chief priests have delivered thee
unto me: what hast thou done?
Joh 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of
this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then
would my servants fight, that I should not be
delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not
from hence.
Joh 18:37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a
king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am
a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause
came I into the world, that I should bear witness
unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth
heareth my voice.

AN ENEMY HAS DONE THIS

Mat 13:24 Another parable put he forth unto them,
saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a
man which sowed good seed in his field:
Mat 13:25 But while men slept, his enemy came and
sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
Mat 13:26 But when the blade was sprung up, and
brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
Mat 13:27 So the servants of the householder came
and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good
seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
Mat 13:28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done
this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then
that we go and gather them up?
Mat 13:29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up
the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
Mat 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest:
and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers,
Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in
bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into
my barn.

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

the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell
us, when shall these things be? and what shall be
the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the
world?
Mat 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them,
Take heed that no man deceive you.
Mat 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I
am Christ; and shall deceive many.

I HAVE OVERCOME THE WORLD.

Joh 16:32 Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now
come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his
own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not
alone, because the Father is with me.
Joh 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that
in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall
have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have
overcome the world.

HUMILITY Rom 12:1 I beseech you therefore,

brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your
bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God,
which is your reasonable service.

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

ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that
ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable,
and perfect, will of God.
Rom 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto
me, to every man that is among you, not to think of
himself more highly than he ought to think; but to
think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every
man the measure of faith.
2Ti 3:12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ
Jesus shall suffer persecution.
2Ti 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse
and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
2Ti 3:14 But continue thou in the things which thou
hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of
whom thou hast learned them;
2Ti 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the
holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise
unto salvation through faith which is in Christ
Jesus.
2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God,
and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for
correction, for instruction in righteousness:
2Ti 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect,
throughly furnished unto all good works.

Luk 17:20 And when he was demanded of the

Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come,
he answered them and said, The kingdom of God
cometh not with observation:
Luk 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo
there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within
you.
Luk 17:22 And he said unto the disciples, The days
will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the
days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.
Luk 17:23 And they shall say to you, See here; or,
see there: go not after them, nor follow them.
Luk 17:24 For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of
the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other
part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be
in his day.
Luk 17:25 But first must he suffer many things, and
be rejected of this generation.

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

shall deceive many.
Mat 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the
love of many shall wax cold.
Mat 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the
same shall be saved.
Mat 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be
preached in all the world for a witness unto all
nations; and then shall the end come.

Mat 24:22 And except those days should be

shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for
the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
Mat 24:23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo,
here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
Mat 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and
false prophets, and shall shew great signs and
wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they
shall deceive the very elect.
Mat 24:25 Behold, I have told you before.
Mat 24:26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you,
Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he
is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
Mat 24:27 For as the lightning cometh out of the
east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also
the coming of the Son of man be.
Mat 24:28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will
the eagles be gathered together.

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

shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
Mat 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my
words shall not pass away.
Mat 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man,
no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

LUK 17:30 EVEN THUS SHALL IT BE IN THE

DAY WHEN THE SON OF MAN IS REVEALED.
Luk 17:26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall
it be also in the days of the Son of man.
Luk 17:27 They did eat, they drank, they married
wives, they were given in marriage, until the day
that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came,
and destroyed them all.
Luk 17:28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot;
they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold,
they planted, they builded;
Luk 17:29 But the same day that Lot went out of
Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven,
and destroyed them all.
Luk 17:30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the
Son of man is revealed.

2Ti 3:12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ
Jesus shall suffer persecution.
2Ti 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse
and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
2Ti 3:14 But continue thou in the things which thou
hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of
whom thou hast learned them;
2Ti 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the
holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise
unto salvation through faith which is in Christ
Jesus.
2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God,
and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for

CHAPTER ONE
TH~ EXPECTED MESSIAH

FIRST LBSSON: JOlll'! 5 : 3_1 33

If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
There is another that beareth witness of me; and I
know that the witness whfCh he witnessetb, of me is
true. Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto
the truth.

SECOND LESSON:_MlliN 5-i 41_ ~-43

I receive not honour_ from men. Bet I know you,
that ye have not the love of God in ycu. I am come
in my Father's name, an,P ye receive me not; if
another shall come in his own narr.e, him ye will
receive.

GOLDEN TEXT;__JQHN _l ~- Ul ~ 12
He was in the world, and the world was made by
him, and the world knew liim not. He came unto
his own, and his own receive him not. But as many
as received him, to them gave he power to become
the sons of God, even to them that believe on his
name:

BEWARE OF J.l'lf'.OSTOKS:
Beloved brethren, what I want to reveal to you is the actual
word of God that has manifested today in the world. The Israelites
~re still expecting their Messiah. They believed that He has not
come. yet. Even now, if you dare mention the name of Jesus
before them, they would turn against you and seek all means to
kill you. This is because, they-believe that, the one who come in
the name of Our Lord Jesu~ Christ was only an impersonator.
Now, in some foreign countries many have arisen claiming
that, _they are the Messiah, and being that the people have been~
anx'4os(y waiting for them, they rejoiced and received them
warmly and offered all good things to them, but, at the end, they
 2
r
'
found out that, they were impersonators and fakes.
Considering the United States of America for example, which
is well known to most of you here, about three people have
I
emerged claiming to be Christ, the people gave them red carpet
reception and presented them with assorted gifts items which
should have been given to God. The people worshipped them,
paid homage to them, built houses for them and many other
things, but at the end th~y discovered that they were impostors.
Such instances are numerous in the world. Also in China, there
were certain people who impersonated Our Lord Jesus Christ; if
you go "to India the same thing happened, and at the end, the
people fou:id out the truth, but they are still bel:eving that, the
real Christ 1as not yet come.

GOD'S lVA"f OONFOIJNbs MAN:

l have already told you that, in the United States of America,
the people have built a certain mansion specifically for Our Lord
Jesus Christ, that when He shall come back. He would dwell in
the mansion and would not think of going to reside in another
house in the U.S.A., or any other country. As such, the Americans
have kept so much wealth. prepared everything in readiness for
Him. They are still waiting for him believing that, Christ has not
yet come. . '
The ways of God always eonfounds the wisdom of man. Go to
Israel., you would see that, all the beautiful buildings are built by
the Americans they have resolved to develop that place all in
search of Our Lord Jesus Christ. so that Christ would be pleased
t<> go to them if He should come again. But the truth is, they do
not know that He is even the person ~ccomplishing-all the things
In. the whole world. Now the question is, who is the creator of
heaven and earth and all the beautiful things we see in the world
today1 He is in the w~rld today doing all manner of things but,
the world does not recognise Him.

DIE SBABCJt CONJ1NIJES:

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

DIE WORW IS BLIND: . -

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

Let our first lesson be read.

fDlSI_ LESSON: JOHN .5tM~ 33

If' I bear wltriess of myself, my witness Is not true.
There is another that beareth witness of me; and I
know that the witness.which he witnesseth of me Is
~
true. Ye sent unto-John, and he bare witness unto
the truth.
 4
llRIST lS_DIEDWJ'H:
. Brethren, I want you to undersJand that, the word of God is
nothing but the truth; all tlm.~is the truth and nothing but the
truth. Brethren, recall tfie storyof that Samaritan Woman: .when
she had gorre out in seam:h of water in the city, on her w~y back,
she met Our Lord Jesus Christ who deman4ed that she should
9fve. him some water to drink. The wom~ remembedng how
bard it w$ .for_Jler to fetch that water. ref~d giving water to
Our Lord Jesus Christ under the prete,xt that she Was a Samaritan
and Our Lord Jesus ChriSt was a Jew, as such 1they had nothing
in common, and that it was not possible for Christ' tp fe~ch the'
water because the w.ett was very deep. ana she fouffi'.1 lt bard to
fdch it.
Our Loi'd Jesus Christ told her, "i you knew the gift of -God
and who 'is He that istsaying to you 'Clive me a drink', you would
have askf:d him and He would.have given yqu living water". (John
4: I 0). The woman shouted and pleaded with Christ to give her
the living water, that she may not need t6go to the well to draw
.aga:m-: .Ati that 1>0int, Our Lord Jesus Christ told her to go and
f.etch her hu~band, and she siiid that, she had no husband, then
<thrist t-old her "you are right in saying, "I have no husband" for
you nave married five husbands and. he whom you have now is
not- yaurhusband, this you said truly" .(John 4: 17 18). The
wtJu1an:"was so surprised that somebody could,teJl her all what
hacf happened in the past. As such, she ran into the village .(Jnd
..called.the villagers to.come and see somebody who never kpew
berbat wasable.to say all that had happened-about her.
'; "

CONDUCT OF THE TKlIB WOKSHIPfEKS:

The woman also told ChrisL that, their fathers had been
worshipped in a certain mountain in their city. She queried why
the people should worship God., Christ told her'that .a time would
come whenCod;wiU:be worshipped n~itheron the mountain nor
in Jerusalem, butthe'real worshippers of God shall wor$~lp Him.
in spirit and' in truth. Christ also told her that, they worshipped
what they did not know but He worshipped what he knew, the
true God: for aaivation was from the J~ws.
 5
lm__WHQ_ TESTIFIBS OF HIMSELF JS_ FAKE, : f:
Brethren, while they were still walking~ the woman told ,Qr
Lard Jesus Christ that, she really did not know Him. She pleaded
with Christ that when He shall came, He should reveal everything
unto them. They were anxious to know so many things anq only
Our Lard Jesus Christ could reveal these things to them. And as
shew~ still talking, she never knew.that, she was walking_witti
the Christ. Christ had said that he.could not testify about himself
except others do and bear witness to him., "If I beanwltrwss~to
myself, my testimony is not true,- there' is another who, bears
witness to me, and I know that the testimony which, he ~to
I
me is true" (John 5: 31). ,;

The woman saith unto him, I know that Messiahs
cometh, which is called Christ: whelt he is c.o.tMrhe_i. , .;
1
will tell us all things. .Jesus said unto her, .I' that: 1

speak unto thee.am He. And uJl)Gh,:this.,came his

disciples, and marvelled that :he talked with the -.:L;
woman: yet no man said, what seekest thou? Qr why .,
talkest thou with her? ~ ~ ~~

CHRIST DWELLS WfDI US: , , ,~,w

Brethren, can you see the ways of God? That Samaritan wom.n
was walking with Our Lord Jesus Christ and even when Christ
 6
revealed Himself unto her, she still did ~ot believe. Today, many
people are still waiting for Our Lord Jesus Christ. They always
conclude their prayers with "Until Ch~st comes. back". The
question is, where had Our Lord Jesus Christ been to? Some
people say that, He was killed thr9ugh crucifixion on the tree,
that He was buried and now lives in the sky. If It is true that He
ls still remaining in the sky, lwho is responsible for all the things
we see today In the world? Who is the cteator of man? who
makes all the important discoveries and inventi~ns such as the
aeroplanes and buildings? Who is the one giving lives and many
others to man? who does all these? If He had gone, what would
happer. to tfis children that are scattered throughout the world
today? .
Whc. is responsible for all these things SE:.en today? Is it not
Christ? Christ i~ here on earth, but ~e world does not know
Him. They call H~m several names, Uke~pire, beelzebub and
all sorb1 of names. They stoned Him, ocked at and spat on
Him~ But the impostors are accepted and orshlpped. The world
believes that they (impostors) are the C rist, the owners of
heavens and earth thus showered them with gffts. .
Ood Hlm~lf Is here doing everything by Himself, yet the world
la still waiting and searching for Him. Brethren, all these things
happens so that one may understand that this kingdom is not
gotten as a result of personal efforts through, him that willeth or
tunneth but by Ood who showeth mercy (Romans 9:. 16) ..

GOD: DIE ALL 11'1 ALL:

I If Ood does not reveal Himself unto you, no matter how hard
. you try to know Him you will not succee~, "Ood is like a

colour of the place. Similarly, if Ood is passing by or works
. through somebody who is wearing a white garment, His colour
would be white. If He Is working through somebody who is
wearing a green dress or through grasses, His colt>ur would be
given. -Qod can also come in multifarious forms, shades, times
 7
God is like that, no one can know His ways. Even His ~isciples
whom He lived and walked with were not able to comprehend
Him. When He resurrecte4, He saw them discussing their fate
and the fate of their master'who had been crucified and was no
more with them. Christ asked them, what they were discussing
about, but they were annoyed and started questioning Him saying,
Are you the only visitor in Jerusalem, who has not know what
had happened to us? A certain man came and served us in
everything, and He was killed, but, we understand that, He has
resurrected, are you the only person that has not heard of this
story? The disciples were so much annoyed. But this was the
same man who 11@.d b{"en walking with them for quite some t:me,
yet He was with them and they krtew him not. This is how God
operates.

GOD: 'JllE-iEVERLAS'DN<i MYSTERY:

Brethren, the Chrl:;t Witnesses Natural Body has a spe clal
anthem whi~h goes.. thu~ "though God stays with you for
thousands of years, if He does not reveal Himself unto you, you
can never know Him". Th~ is quite true, the song is nothing but
the truth.

FOR YOU MAY CRY AND PRAY TO QOD TO GIVE YOU A GOOD
WIFE, ANO. EVENTUALLY, GOD WILL TRANSFORM ~NTO A WOMAN
TO COME AND STAY WITH YOU FOR SO MANY YEARS, AND WILL
BE UNTO YOU A WIFE INDEED. But, without His revealing His
identity to you, you will not know. You may ~so be looking for a
child and He will come to you as child. HeHimselfwill bedirectly
~taying together tith you, but you will not ~ow that, that is God .
staying with you except you are told. He also may come as a
servant, business partner or in any way, because of the kind of
demands and petitions you make before Him, and if you are not
told, you would just take it for grant~, as one of those things
that happen In the world without knowing that~ tt Is clod Himself
to you~
~'$ ways are mysterious. If He does not reveal Himself to
 8
you, go to anywhere, nobody will beable to ~ow and to tell you
what'happening. God is such a wonderful being that, you cannot
distinguish His left from right; you. cannot equally knew the way .
He does His things. AlHhe thlngs.you\dread, ranging from ghost,
socerers, mermaid to anYt;hing whatsoever you may think of that
disturbs you. has happened to you,, is God Himself~ H passes
through all these forms to perform one thing' O( the other. 1. do
not want to be tedious with you. Let the second lesso~ be read.

SECOM> LESSON: dQllN; 5: 41 _LA.1
I receive not honour from men. But, I know you,
. that ye have not the rove of .God in you; I atn came
in my Father's nam ::, and ye receive me not; if
another shall come ir. his name, him ye will receive.,

mE EVERLASTING KING:
Brethren, the 144,000 Virginshave SUDQ:.in:their.~~that,
the glory in this kingdom .~ot .be rattain~d 1n. th~ flesh apd
cannot be compared with th~ conventional avenues' of attaining
glory: in the world, like elections into certain positions. _, God1 did
not attain His own glory through such means. If you: disagree,
then who voted for Him? Nobody: God's glory is natural. NobOdy
crowned Him a king, no 'nation, family, not his. father,, He was
just born like that, as the King, no~ by voting. It is for this reason
that, the bible states thus: 1 acknowledge that you do not have
the love of God in your heart, I have come in my .Father's name,
y~t you do not l'eceive me, but; if any man, shall come in his own
name, you shall rejoice with him". Brethren, has this thing not
come to stay?
You are witnesses to the fact that, the whole world is anxiously
waiting for the coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ, that, He shall
come from the sky, but I want to ask you, can you inform your
enemy about your plans and itinerary? Many people have prepared
theirweapons of war that when He shall .come, they will eliminate
Him. If He was to come from the sky nobody would have seen
His rem~ins.

ln His first advent, the three wisemen went to J1erod and aske.p,
"where is the one who is born as the King of the Jews; for we
have seen the sign and have called to bow down and \:\'Orship
Him". When Herod heard of this thing, he called them privately,
and asked them, "Where does this thing happen?" They told
him, Herod commanded them, "go, when you see him, come
back and inform me, so that, I will also go to worship Hi~" ... ~t,
was that his intention, was that. the truth? Since Herod had
different intention, the angel of God ministered unto J0seph at
that particular moment to take the child on exi~ to Egypt because
Herod was planning to kill Him. The same angel went to .the.
three wisemen nnd instructed them to take another r:>ute back
home. After Herod had waited for the wise:menfor a long time
without seeing Lhem., he went to find the child himself. Since
Christ was then a baby, he (Herod) would have suc.ceeded in
killing him.
Since Herod'n intention was to kill Him, the angel of the Lord
instructed Joseph to take Christ on exile to Egypt and settle there
until further notice. They stayed there for a long.time until Christ
grew up and people could not recognise him again. When Herod
died, God instructed them to return to Nazareth.

'l1IB .IMPORTANCE OF CAID'ION:.

. Brethren, have you nqw understood the nature .of the world?
A local adage has it that any anim.(11 that had once been trapped
would always be wary of tanY benc:fed stick. Whenever such an
animal come across any bended $tlck it will run away thinking
that it is a trap. Now that God is back on et;lrth.. He is well
equipped. It is therefore left for you to recognise Him.
Amongst the whites, blacks, women, men and children, He
has done marvellous things, but people are still adamant,. t1:ley
are still refusing to recognize His presence, most people prodaim
being Christ, claiming tJ;tat they can heal the sick, raise the dead
and perform other ~iraculous works; that they have come in
their glory as God.

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

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

VINTAGE IMPOSTOR. S:
Some of them will carry certain mysterious stones and Llaim
to be capable of heaHng certain sicknesses and doing wonderful
works. for instance, one person at lkom was like this, he
established a Brothert:ood Bethel at lkom~ called nsofang b~lhel.
So many things had been happening since then, the person even
said _he was John the Baptist, therefore, nobody In Brotherhood
had the right to baptise him that he baptised Christ, that he is
God, and has come into Brotherhood to do wonderful things.
even our brother Henshaw is also in the list, that time he wore
some wonderful and flamboyant dresses, tellh1g pt!Ople that; who
,1 ever Olumba cannot heal, such a person should be brought to
him because he has all the powers to heal; for he ls greater than
Olumba, and he is even God, that Olumba ls working under him.
There was another per8on Who was the brother-in-law to this
brother Henshaw, he also claimed that he was God and had
acquired power greater than any other person on earth. He also
said that the kind of ol) he had, our father Olumba has not. The
man proclaimed that, he has wonderful oils to cure sickness ahd
solve whatever problems mankind may have.
Brethren, so many people had come with different names
claiming to be God. Qod Himselfknows that the world does not
love Him. I want to tell you that if you know certainly that there
is a certain place you are not loved, you will be so seared of such
 11
a place, that is why God is playing c~ol. He wants only those
people He has revealed Himself to, to ~now Him. As such, God
.Himself cannot blow His trumpet aroun4 the nooks and crannies
\of the world that He is God, He cannot do that. Members of
Brotherhood said "this man, our Father has c:tisgraced us because
we have been telling the whole word that 'tte is God, why should
He come up with such a publication". ~I am NOT GOD BUT
OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU". They even threatened to tear the books,
and I promised them that, if they tore those books, I would reprint
them in numbers so that, it would go round the whole world.
I cannot tell the world that, I am God because. it is only the
world ~.hat loves falsehood and hates the truth. It is only people
who g.J around making false claims that are honoured.

GOD: Tim SOl.JKCE OF ALL POWEBS:

Certain members here in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star
had b en given up to four or five. cars in the :ourse of the works
they have able to do through our Father. All praises and glory
are given to these people, but the Father who owns all the power,
who is the source, has not been reCQgnised.
Recall when late Bishop Professor klahosa came to Calabar,
he said that. he was coming to pray for Olumba Olumba Obu; He
further added that, Olumba was under him as his subordinate.
Yes, he was free to say all these thinas. But, where i~ .he today?
It is only God who has all the power, but he claimed that, he ha~
all the power, and that he has come to pray for Leader ,Olumba

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

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

but, through Hjs actions, deeds and when He has revealed Himself
to.you, then will you realise that, truly, He is the Ood of host.
Brethren, impostors abound .evef"Y\tlhere. Another set are
those who put on red garments. The Christ Witnesses'
<, '
had beaten
up so many of them who claimed to be Gpd, and ~ollected most
of these ~arments. One of them is a secr~t~, Brother U.moh,
from Ikono, he came dressed in f"".:.;d garm~nt to .worship in the
,.

12
hall, and was interrogated by the ;children of God.
So many of them have different colours of soutanes in thE;ir
homes. Many people paid. homage to them, built houses for
them, bought cars and render other benevolent services to them.
But, they are not the true ones~ The word must be fulfilled. God
can pass away, but the words of God shall never pass away until
all come to manifestation.

SECOMlWITNESS: ROMANS -9L11_~_17

(For the children being not yet born, neither havi~g
done any qood or evil, that the purpose of Gott
1
according to election might stand, not of works; but
of hirn that calleth): It was said unto her, t1e elder
shall .3erve the younger. As.it is written, Jae.ob have
l loved, but Esau have I hated. What shaH we say
then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God
forbid. For he saith to Moses, I will have rr ercy on
whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion
on whom I will have compassion. So then it is:not
of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of
God that showeth mercy. For the scriptur.e saith
unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have 1
raised thee up, that I might show my power in thee,
and that my name might be declared throughout all
the earth.

MAN'S GREATEST ACHUWEMENT:

. Brethren, have you understood the content of. that excerpt?
The greatest thing:trl..
the whole world today is God revealing
Himself to you. And to those God has revealed Himself to, they
know Him quite well and believe also in Him. Apart from that,
the rest do not believe in him. Irrespective of the extent of
ministry work you may embark upon, claiming that you are Jesus
or God; whether here in Brotherhood, Apostolic or any other
place in the wnrld, know that, it is not he that praises h~mself
.____ !_hat is f~und wo1thy, but, he whom God praises. As stilch, if
 13
anyone comes to your house, proclaiming to be Jesus or God,
you. ~an stm be generous to him but know that, he is one of the
false prophets parading themselves around the world today.

BELmVE NOT IMPOSTORS_:

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

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

PlmREQUISl1E FOK BECOMING A CHILD OF GOD:

Brethren, have you understood the theme of our gospel today?
A woman may conceive today and have the believe that she will
glve'birth to Jesus as people prophesy, but this may not happen.
'l\lso, somebody may have a child and hope that, the child woUld
become Jesus, but this cannot be.
An instance of this is that child from Congo (Zarie). whom
people claimed his mother conceived/him through the Holy Spirit.
This is not true: The Father is here. He Is here in the world
performing all His things by Himself. The Sister was innocently
living in her place and God visited her spiritually and revealed to
I her how ~hese things would come to manifest. But He did not

L
 14
put herin family way. . 1 . . .

All we need todo-is,to believ~-that, He is always here with us

on earth doing everything. - He t.ndertakes all taskS; .farming,
trading, schooling, marrying and givinerJ~~age and other
numerous works here on earth. AH.th~ ~91'.ivities of the Fath~
is the cause of our j.oy here on earth. lf;y()U dQ .no rejoice with
Him, how wilt. you know him? As it is ~ed ~in Ute l;\~ble "To all
th~t receive Him, He gives them the right tQ ~me ~~\ldr:~n
ofOod~: This is why I 1;1111 telling you that, it is only in Br~~
that you can.see,the children of God..Go to the sea or any place
at all, you ~not see the real children of God.
All who rejoice and belbve. in Him are His children. If you do
not believ:e 'in <something, :rou will. 11ever rejoice in it. Ifyou do
not rejoice with Him; wou~d-,y~ ~ associatecj with Him? Nol
You would not. This does not happen beeause of their works or
any activity at all. That iswhat I have for you. If yo observe fast
in other to.know bim, you Nould never succeed. If you donate
money, .your money w.m
not enable you to know Him. Af? such~
when you rejoice with Him, have f~h in Him, surrender yourself
to Him, you have been given that right; you are a, child of God.
Have you not seen Christ's exampl~? \Vhen He came, His
brothers and Sisters did not receive Him, nor believe in Him,
becr,uc;;e of this they were not children of God.
; . ' l,: , ~f, ,,; _,

GOD MnOT BE KN.OWN BY_fl.ESH MID RIOOD:

In the wbole land of .Israel, nobody received Him. You are
still cursing, hating, blaspheming and perpetrating all vices against
your fellow brethren. HclVe you not hear-d of this sayiri~ that all
those who received Him, are children of God? This,dsnot the
. handiwork of the flesh and .blOQd -but ~h;;s.t of the Holy Spirit.
Hence, this.is the theme of i0ur sermon;
. Observe now in Brotherhoqd,"'people are visiting Biakpan
everyday, bathing in the Biakpan water and ob~erving ma.nY; other
things. Of what importance is their action an<) ofwhat impo$~ce
is yours? Even here in Brotherhood, what has been their work
and what havt... y. ;U done yourself? You testify having vehicles,
/
 15
ships, houses, power and many other things, but what have you
done for God, nothingl Rather; when you go out, you start claiming
to be God, that you can do several works. Brethren, this is the
actual fact because, action speaks louder than words. Upon all
the things you do, have you seen me reacting? Realize that, it
has already been stated that,. to aH those that receive- Him, He
gives them the right to become the children of God.- - , , -; i

'DIE BLASPHEMER IS ftOT Of'_ GOD: .

Brethren, at the end of every preachment, Christ always sakl,
"He who has ears, let him hear".- I am tellihg you that. if any~
,, approach es you, and starts proclaiming to be Goct .or Christ, realise
: that, he ia a false prophet coming to deceive you. Anybody that
believes In -sucit _a persan tacks >ve~ ,- Whot.;venblasphemes

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

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

MAN._ Yl>UB. CREATOR:

Brethren, the central idea in this sermon is that all those that
receive Him are given the right to become
. . the children of Qpd.
He may be your co-tenant and you may be seeing him everyday,
bl.at you will not know Him. You may continue asking Who is He
and where is He? You can never know Him because you do not
receive Him nor appreciate His presence. And unless you receive
Him you cannot become His child.
Raising the dead, making the lame to walk, _restoring sight to
the -blind or making the deaf to hear cannot qualify you as a
child of God. Even here in Brotherhood, some members are still
contemplating that, Jesus is this and that, but this cannot qualify
them as the children of God.
All those who receive God, accept Him, and render service to
 16
Him in one mind, are the ones He has given the right to become
children of God. If your mothtt'!and father do not believe in
Him, they have no share in this kingdont-Same applies to your
children, your wife or your husband;-, if, they clo not believe in
Him they are not children of Ood and ~have, not share in the
kingdom of God. All those.who have, faith inHil'.n and believe: in
Him are an children of God.
Brethren, I do not intend to take you much ~A-.flll also
repeating the words of Christ, that He who has; ears to,~I let
him hear. May God bless His Holy words. Amen.

I have already told you that, in the United States of

specifically for Qur Lord Jesus Christ, that when He shall_

not think of going to reside in another house in the

I AM NOT GOD BUT OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
SUPERNATURAL TEACHINGS,
BIBLE CLASS LESSONS AND
EVERLASTING GOSPELS
BY:

LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU

THE SUPERNATURAL TEACHER, AND
SOLE SPIRITUAL HEAD OF THE UNIVERSE
BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR
* Brethren, I must tell you that the work you see here
is not done by any man, angel or prophet, or even by
the Son; BUT IT IS THE FATHER WHO IS AT WORK
NOW.

*You must know that even though you are gods, YOU
ARE NOT GOD. And although you are sons, you are
not THE SON. You must know that this is the time to
give God His due glory. Do not seek any glory again
because THE ONE THAT HAS THE LEGAL RIGHT HAS
COME TO RULE.

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

done by Moses and others. Moses used the staff
before Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and demonstrated
some sorts of powers. Our Lord Jesus Christ came
and brought many dead people back to life. But how
many people were converted for God? How many
were changed from their former ways of life? But
today you have been transformed, and given a new
personality in accordance with the Divine Will. Is
Obu the one that has changed you to be what you
are?

*BRETHREN, I HAVE EXAMINED MYSELF VERY

WELL. I DO NOT HAVE ANY POWER OF MY OWN. I
HAVE NO WISDOM OF MY OWN. I AM NOT A
PREACHER NEITHER AM I THE DOER OF ANYTHING.
YOU MUST KNOW THAT EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE
GODS, YOU ARE NOT GOD. AND ALTHOUGH YOU
ARE SONS, YOU ARE NOT THE SON. YOU MUST
KNOW THAT THIS IS THE TIME TO GIVE GOD HIS
DUE GLORY. DO NOT SEEK ANY GLORY AGAIN
BECAUSE THE ONE THAT HAS THE LEGAL RIGHT
HAS COME TO RULE.

* Those who charge money for the powerful works

they perform do so because they perceive that
power belongs to them. This is false. All of you are
God's vessels and tools. Therefore give glory to God
in all that He does from day to day. Brethren, put this
gospel into practice because the Son has
surrendered all things to the Father, and the Father
has become all things.

TO CALL ME A LEADER IS CORRECT BECAUSE GOD

HAS PROVIDED A LIVING EXAMPLE FOR YOU IN ME
IN ORDER TO LEAD YOU TO GOD'S KINGDOM. THE
QUALITIES YOU SEE IN ME ARE FOR YOU TO
EMULATE. But to call me God, NO PLEASE, I am not
the one. The reason I do not worry myself to move
from one place to another to preach is because the
Father is here, and all things have been subjected to
Him, and He is the one doing all things. He is the one
to reconcile the whole world to Himself. Under Him I
am free, just as you are.
* God who is now on earth has instructed us to love
one another just as He loves us. You must obey His
voice. We must love Him because He loves us, and
calls us His children. Our being gods is also because
He wishes us to be thus, all to His glory. Today He
has informed us that all things have been subjected
to Him, and that all glory should be given to Him. God
has come down to rule this world for eternity. Go and
tell the world that Christ, angels, prophets, and the
children of God are here to witness the rule of God
over the universe. God's words never go unfulfilled.
* Today the talk of the town is that Brotherhood of
the Cross and Star has subdued all forces and
powers in the world; a clear evidence that God has
taken control over all things. Yes, for years the little
salt given you was insufficient for your meal. This
was so in terms of power of the angels, prophets and
even, the Son. But now the source of all dynamic
powers has arrived. All things animate and
inanimate, seen and unseen must submit to the
SUPREME BEING, THE GUEST OF THE TIME. ALL
KINGDOMS, RULERSHIP, ALL POWERS AND
AUTHORITIES MUST BOW TO THIS GREAT RULER,
THE ALMIGHTY GOD.
* Sometimes you may see a sick person who was
taken to the hospital, and he recovers; and because
of your lack of faith, you doubt God's presence; and
when you are sick you would want to be admitted
into the hospital, but you may die there. It is true
that God is everywhere. But you must acknowledge
His presence, and capability of doing all things. HE
IS A SPIRIT. HE IS IN ME AND IN YOU AND IN ALL
THINGS. WHAT IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH MEN IS
POSSIBLE WITH GOD. WE SHOULD WORSHIP HIM IN
SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH AS THE ONLY CREATOR OF
ALL THINGS.

* Those who spend their time to think of a

successor to Leader Obu when He dies are very
unreasonable people. And those who are outside,
and are trying to see the end of Leader Obu so that
Brotherhood may cease to function, are also very,
very unreasonable. Is the work in Brotherhood of the
Cross and Star done by the leader? Whether I am
here or not; one thing stands out. These works will
continue because the doer is here by Himself; and
He is God, the Father.

Many of you have been stricken with fear when you

hear that you will no more see the Leader. That is to
put faith in you. When you see before you believe;
that is not faith. Faith is the assured expectation of
things hoped for, the evident demonstration of
realities though not beheld.

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

attend meetings that the Leader would not attend,
and do not honor any letter or circular that is not
signed by the Leader. Blessed are those who do not
see, and yet believe. Believe as from today that God
is the one doing these works.

These works are not done by Leader Obu or Olumba

Olumba Obu or O.O.O. God is the one who created
this O.O.O., and that God is the one doing His works
now in the universe. I give glory to God who has
come to rule the world. Therefore all that you do,
whether in songs, prayer and worship, do them to
God. Do not worship man, do not give glory to man.
Do not enslave man. Worship God, and give Him
glory; for He is now on earth.

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

are still doubting in your minds. Do not keep your
eyes on the things you see but rather on the things
unseen; for the things seen are temporary, but the
things unseen are everlasting. Some of you get
worried when you are not able to see the Leader.
Does it mean that God does not see you? Put not
your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom
there is no help. O.O.Obu is a man like you are, but
God is God forever. O.O.Obu can go anywhere just as
you can, but God is omnipresent.

Go and tell the world that you made a mistake when

you told them that the work done here in
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is performed by a
man. Because what you see here and what you have
heard done here is not anything that can be done by
man, angel, prophet or the Son. Tell them that God
has come to dwell with men, and that God is the One
doing all these things.

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

then it is like saying that God lives in a building. But
is God so small as to live in a building? NOT AT ALL!
God remains FAITHFUL AND TRUE TO HIS
PROMISES, although man may stumble and fall.
THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD THAT CONTROLS THE
UNIVERSE. There is no division. There is neither
male nor female, young or old. ALL ARE IN UNION
WITH THE LORD. ALL WERE CREATED BY THIS ONE
GOD THAT CONTROLS THE UNIVERSE; AND TODAY
HIS TABERNACLE IS HERE WITH HIS CREATURES,
TO DWELL WITH THEM, AND BE THEIR GOD
FOREVER.

* The works you now witness in Brotherhood are

done by the Father; and all thanks and praises, glory
and honor must be given to God the Father for His
benevolence. I have no power of my own. I do not
read from any book of this system of things. Take it
from me that God is the one doing the things now on
earth according to His promise. Some of you who
have children do discipline them to mould them up in
a good way. But in your case who disciplines you
here? Who suspends you here in order to become
useful vessels unto God?

* Have you ever seen anyone suspended in

Brotherhood? This is another evidence that God has
come down personally to change His children, and
reconcile them to Himself. To be candid, God is the
one who instigates the world to ask you all these
questions about the power in Brotherhood. BECAUSE
HE IS A JEALOUS GOD, HE DOES NOT WANT HIS
GLORY TO BE GIVEN TO ANY OTHER; FOR HE
DESERVES EXCLUSIVE HONOUR. FOR ALTHOUGH
THE PEOPLE MAY BELIEVE WHAT IS DONE HERE IN
BROTHERHOOD, THE MERE FACT THAT YOU SAY
THAT THIS WORK IS DONE BY A MAN, MAKES IT
BECOME INCREDIBLE.
EVERLASTING GOSPEL
I AM NOT GOD BUT OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU

First Bible Lesson: Revelation 11:15

"And the seventh angel sounded; and there were

great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this
world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of
His Christ; and He shall reign for ever and ever."

Second Bible Lesson: 1 Corinthians 15:28

"And when all things shall be subdued unto Him,

then shall the Son also himself be subject unto Him
that put all things under him, that God may be all in
all."

Golden Text: Revelation 21:3

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

Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He
will dwell with them, and they shall be His people,
and God Himself will be with them, and be their
God."

Brethren the Word of God is not something that can

be revealed through human wisdom or to be
interpreted by the wisdom of this world. It is not
something that is written down on papers. It has
been fixed from the foundation of the world. If you
subtract or add to it you make yourself a
confusionist, and must suffer the penalty.

It is an undisputable fact that no one hates

Brotherhood. The problem is that you members of
Brotherhood do not abide by the Word of God you are
given from day to day. You have left what you should
do, and gone to do what you are supposed not to do.

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

a man is God, or that Olumba Olumba Obu is God,
puts you out of gear. God has been doing his work by
Himself from the beginning of creation. Adam,
Moses, Abraham or Christ did not say that they were
God. Even Jesus Christ simply said that He was the
Son sent by the Father. Now God has come by
Himself to do His will, and exalt His glory.

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

hosts of heaven. IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOD'S
DIVINE PURPOSE THAT, AT THE FULLNESS OF TIME,
HE WILL MAKE HIS DWELLING AMONG MEN, HE HAS
NOW COME TO DWELL WITH YOU. It is foolishness to
keep waiting for the Son of God in the sky or in the
clouds; for this is not the time for son, angel or
prophets. BUT IT IS THE TIME FOR GOD TO
MANIFEST HIS MULTIFARIOUS GLORY TO MANKIND.
ALL THE CHILDREN OF GOD ARE HERE. IT IS TIME
FOR ALL GLORIES, GRATITUDE, PRAISES AND
THANKS TO BE GIVEN TO GOD DIRECT; FOR HE IS
HERE TO MANIFEST HIS WILL ON EARTH.

YOU ARE ALL WITNESSES. THE ENTIRE WORLD IS

MY WITNESS, EVEN THE ANGELS, THAT I HAVE
NEVER SAID THAT I AM GOD; AND THAT I HAVE
NEVER DENIED THAT IT IS THE FATHER WHO IS
DOING ALL THE WORK BEING DONE ON EARTH
TODAY.

IN AGES PAST, THE FATHER WAS STILL THE ONE

WHO WAS DOING HIS WORK THROUGH
INTERMEDIARIES. BUT THESE INDIVIDUALS WERE
GIVEN THE PRAISES INSTEAD OF GOD. NOW AT THE
FULLNESS OF TIME, GOD HAS COME IN PERSON TO
RECEIVE ALL PRAISES, HONORS, AND THANKS
THAT ARE DUE HIM. MOSES CONFESSED THAT HE
WAS NOT THE ONE DOING THESE WORKS IN HIS
DAYS. But his brothers attributed all glories to him.
The same with Jesus the Christ. He used to
proclaim: "I CAN DO NOTHING OF MY OWN WILL;
FOR I DO NOT DO MY WILL BUT THE WILL OF HIM
THAT SENT ME". (John 5:30). Yet the followers gave
the glory to Jesus Christ. FOR THIS REASON GOD
HAS COME TO RECEIVE THE GLORIES DUE HIM
BEFORE THE WORLD WAS.

God had sent angels and prophets to do these works.

They were unable. He finally sent His Son. They held
Him as the heir, and killed Him. WHOM DO YOU
THINK THEN THAT THE FATHER WILL SEND? HE
NOW COMES BY HIMSELF AS THE OWNER OF THE
VINEYARD. FOR NOW THE QUESTION IS: WHAT WILL
THE OWNER OF THE VINEYARD DO TO THOSE WHO
KILLED HIS SON, THE HEIR? Read Matthew chapter
twenty-one. HE DID NOT PROMISE TO SEND THE
SON AGAIN; BUT TO COME HIMSELF AFTER THIS.
THIS GENERATION IS VERY FORTUNATE TO SEE
THE DAY THAT GOD HAS COME DOWN PERSONALLY
TO RECEIVE HIS GLORIES AND HONOURS.

IT IS TRUE THAT THE VISIONERS HAVE BEEN ABLE

TO SEE THAT CHRIST IS NOW ON EARTH. BUT HAVE
THEY BEEN ABLE TO SEE THE PAROUSIA OF THE
ONE WHO CREATED THE HEAVENS AND THE
EARTH? THIS GREAT PERSONALITY HAS COME TO
MAKE HIS DWELLING PLACE AMONG MEN. IT IS
SAID THAT THE ONE TO GOVERN WILL GOVERN
WITH AN IRON ROD AND THAT THE GOVERNMENT
WILL TAKE CONTROL OVER THE EARTH. THIS IS
THE FATHER'S GOVERNMENT IN POWER.

Although people must have had the belief that God

does all things, this is not enough; because the
glories and honors were not given to God but to
intermediaries. Take up your Bible. Refer to all
publications. Take a cursory glance at the world
today. See the rulers and the governments of
mankind, and you will be convinced that the Bible is
inspired, and not the work of any human imagination.
Worldly wisdom or technical know-how does not
come in here. THIS GOVERNMENT IS THEOCRATIC.
Therefore for you to tell people that Leader Olumba
Olumba Obu is God, you have automatically made
God to be a man. That is why people suspect that
there is some hidden power underneath in
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. FOR, ACCORDING
TO THEM, JESUS CHRIST WHO WAS THE SON OF
GOD CAME AND DIED; AND HAD AT NO TIME
SPOKEN IN THE FIRST PERSON. BUT HERE IS
LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU, AN ORDINARY
HUMAN BEING THEY KNOW, AND YOU SAY HE IS
GOD. WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF HE DIES? WHAT WILL
HAPPEN TO BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND
STAR? WHO WILL BE ABLE TO STEP IN AND DO HIS
WORKS? THESE AND MANY OTHER FLIPPING
QUESTIONS ARE PRESENTED TO THE WORLD BY
THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD.

IN FACT THEY WILL GO AS FAR AS SAYING THAT

MOSES CAME WITH SOME POWERS, BUT HE DIED.
THEY WILL MENTION QUITE A NUMBER OF GREAT
MEN WHO TROD THIS EARTH BUT DIED; AND THEY
WILL ASK YOU WHETHER LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA
OBU WILL NEVER DIE. BECAUSE IF HE DIES, HIS
FOLLOWERS WILL BE SUBJECTED TO GREATER
SUFFERINGS, SINCE THERE WILL BE NO ONE TO
LEAD THEM AND PERFORM THE MIGHTY WORKS
NOW SEEN IN BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND
STAR.

From day to day you are faced with such questions,

to which you have give them the answers that you
feel are correct because you are responsible for
these questions. You do not abide by the truth
preached to you. You show lack of faith in God. Have
I ever told you that this power is mine; or that I have
any power of my own? Have I ever told you that I
even exist at all? Moses and others who came were
powerful people. Jesus the Christ was powerful. BUT
ALL I KNOW IS THAT NOW, THE GOD WHO CREATED
THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH HAS COME DOWN
TO MAKE HIS DWELLING AMONG MANKIND. HE IS
THE ONE DOING ALL THESE WORKS, AND NOT
MYSELF.

In the time of Moses you will remember that there

was power by the use of the Ark of the Covenant,
and the use of the Staff.

There was the burning of incense and lighting of

candles. Have you ever seen me using a Staff,
burning incense, lighting candles, drawing circles,
using consecrated handkerchiefs, holding a wooden
or metal cross or the like?
This is not the time for incantations. IN THE TIME OF
JESUS THE CHRIST HE MOVED FROM PLACE TO
PLACE. HE PREACHED OPENLY IN MARKETPLACES.
HE WOULD SPEAK, AND THE DEAD WOULD RISE. HE
AT TIMES WOULD TOUCH THE BLIND, AND THE
BLIND WOULD RECEIVE THEIR SIGHT. HAVE YOU
EVER SEEN ME MOVING FROM ONE PLACE TO
ANOTHER, OR EVEN PRAYING FOR THE SICK, OR
TOUCHING THE INFIRM TO GET WELL? But many of
these dead ones today have come back to life. The
blind ones are daily receiving their sight; and even
greater works are going on without a word.

WHO THEN IS DOING ALL THESE WORKS? IS THIS

NOT CLEAR EVIDENCE THAT THE OWNER OF THE
VINEYARD HAS ARRIVED? GIVE GLORY TO THE
FATHER, FOR HE IS HERE HIMSELF DOING HIS
WORKS. When you talk of powerful works, you may
mention Lazarus who died for four days, and was
brought back to life by Jesus. Jesus had to go to the
grave, and pray tearfully, before Lazarus came back
to life. Jesus Himself died only to come back to life
after three days. But today we have seen something
more significant, something more striking. WE HAVE
SEEN SOMEONE DEAD, AND COME BACK TO LIFE
AFTER SEVEN DAYS. THE RAISING OF THE DEAD IS
A HOBBY IN BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND
STAR.
THESE GREAT WORKS ARE ACCOMPLISHED
WITHOUT A WORD OR FORMALITIES. THESE ARE
CLEAR EVIDENCES THAT THE FATHER IS NOW HERE
DOING HIS WORKS. Just fancy the number of insane
persons that are brought here. No physical treatment
is given to them; and, in fact, all they do is remain
here; and when their time is come, they go home
completely healed. And what about your personal
problems and difficulties? Do you not witness how
they are overcome without the assistance of
anyone? Does this not prove to you that these works
are not done by any human being but by God
Himself? Why not give the credit to God; or does God
not merit this glory?

This is where the world is confused when you tell

them that Leader O. O. Obu is God, and that Leader
O. O. Obu is the one doing all these works. DO YOU
NOT SEE HOW CONFUSED THEY ARE? FOR THEY
LOOK AROUND, AND AT NO TIME DO THEY SEE
LEADER O. O. OBU MOVING FROM ONE PLACE TO
ANOTHER. HOW THEN DOES HE PERFORM THESE
THINGS? MAY BE THERE IS SOME HIDDEN THING
UNDERNEATH; THEY SUSPECT, AND GIVE IT A
NAME.

MANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN MEMBERS OF SOME

SECRET SOCIETIES. YOU HAVE BEEN MEMBERS OF
DIFFERENT RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS. DID YOU
EVER SEE YOUR LEADERS APPEARING TO YOU
PHYSICALLY, IN DREAMS OR OTHERWISE? DID
THEY TAKE AWAY YOUR PROBLEMS AT YOUR MERE
SIGHT OF THEM? DID YOU SEE THEM SPEAKING
JUST A WORD, AND IT TAKES EFFECT AT ONCE?

Brethren, I must tell you that the work you see here
is not done by any man, angel or prophet, or even by
the Son; but it is the Father who is at work now.

I would like to recall to your mind the great works

done by Moses and others. Moses used the staff
before Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and demonstrated
some sorts of powers. Our Lord Jesus Christ came
and brought many dead people back to life. But how
many people were converted for God? How many
were changed from their former ways of life? But
today you have been transformed, and given a new
personality in accordance with the Divine Will. Is
Obu the one that has changed you to be what you
are?

I had publicly told you that I have never been a

member of any church or society. I have never
received any education of this world except as a
child. The works you now witness in Brotherhood are
done by the Father; and all thanks and praises, glory
and honor must be given to God the Father for His
benevolence. I have no power of my own. I do not
read from any book of this system of things. Take it
from me that God is the one doing the things now on
earth according to His promise. Some of you who
have children do discipline them to mould them up in
a good way. But in your case who disciplines you
here? Who suspends you here in order to become
useful vessels unto God?

Have you ever seen anyone suspended in

Brotherhood? This is another evidence that God has
come down personally to change His children, and
reconcile them to Himself. To be candid, God is the
one who instigates the world to ask you all these
questions about the power in Brotherhood. Because
He is a Jealous God, He does not want His glory to
be given to any other; for He deserves exclusive
honor. For although the people may believe what is
done here in Brotherhood, the mere fact that you say
that this work is done by a man, makes it become
incredible.

First Bible Lesson: Revelation 11:15:

"And the seventh angel sounded; and there were

great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this
world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of
His Christ; and He shall reign forever and ever."

WHERE THEN ARE THE WISE MEN? WHERE THEN

ARE THE DEBATERS OF THE FACT? GOD HAS MADE
THE WISDOM OF THIS WORLD TO PERISH. ONLY
GOD'S WISDOM RULES SUPREME. GOD IS HERE TO
RULE; AND SO HE HAS MANEUVERED THE
KINGDOMS OF THIS WORLD TO BECOME HIS AND
THAT OF HIS CHRIST, AND HE MUST RULE FOREVER
AND EVER. THEREFORE, IF YOU HAD REGARDED
YOURSELF AS A WISE PERSON, PLEASE BECOME A
FOOL SO THAT YOU MAY BECOME WISE. (1 Cor
3:18).

IN THE WORLD TODAY YOU CANNOT SEE ANY

STABLE GOVERNMENT. THE SAME WITH SCHOOLS,
INDUSTRIES, UNIVERSITIES, AND OTHER
ESTABLISHMENTS. INDUSTRIAL ACTIONS ARE THE
ORDER OF THE DAY. BOYCOTTING OF CLASSES IS
THE DRILL OF THE STUDENTS. UNREST, HATRED,
CONFUSION AND CHAOS ARE EVERYWHERE.

This is so because this is a transitional period, a

time for handing over the kingdoms of this world to
God. For this reason Jesus the Christ said: "You have
heard that I said to you, I am going away and I am
coming back to you. If you loved me you would
rejoice that I am." (John 14:28). When a person is
sent to a strange land on an errand, he is honored in
view of the person that sent him. But when the
person that sent him accompanies him to that very
place, he who was formerly sent there is no more
given the honour. The Master, who was, now
receives the honour.

THE PROPHETS CAME AND WERE HONORED. THE

ANGELS CAME AND RECEIVED THEIR HONOUR AND
PRAISES. THE SON CAME AND WAS GLORIFIED. BUT
NOW THE FATHER IS HERE WITH ALL THOSE HE
SENT BEFORE. THEREFORE ALL GLORIES AND
HONOUR NO MORE GO TO ANYONE OF THOSE SENT,
BUT TO THE FATHER WHO IS THE OWNER OF THE
VINEYARD.

I AM SPEAKING BOLDLY BEFORE THE ANGELS,

PROPHETS, ALL THE CHILDREN OF GOD, AND THE
ENTIRE WORLD THAT THE WORKS THAT ARE DONE
IN BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR, AND
THE ENTIRE WORLD ARE NOT PERFORMED BY ANY
MAN OR ANGEL OR PROPHET, BUT BY THE FATHER
HIMSELF; AND WHEREVER YOU ARE IN THIS
WORLD, YOU WILL FEEL THE IMPACT OF HIS
POWER. YOU HAVE EVERY REASON TO SING AND
REJOICE BECAUSE GOD'S DWELLING IS NOW WITH
MAN.

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

prophets, children of God and apostles? THIS
NOTWITHSTANDING, THE FATHER DOES THE WORK
BY HIMSELF. FROM TODAY, AFTER HEARING THIS
GOSPEL, NEVER REPEAT THE MISTAKE TO SAY
THAT LEADER O. O. OBU IS THE ONE DOING THESE
WORKS; OTHERWISE YOU ARE A STUMBLING
BLOCK TO OTHERS. JESUS CHRIST PREACHED AND
PERFORMED MIRACLES. WAS THAT SUFFICIENT TO
TURN THE WORLD OF MANKIND TO GOD?

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

that CHRIST is here in Brotherhood of the Cross and
Star. The angels are here. The prophets are here. All
the children of God are here; AND THE CREATOR OF
HEAVEN AND EARTH IS HERE IN BROTHERHOOD OF
THE CROSS AND STAR. Make no mistake to say that
Leader O. O. Obu is the one doing these works in the
world, otherwise you blaspheme against God by
taking Him to be a mere man. READ THROUGH THE
PUBLICATIONS HERE IN BROTHERHOOD OF THE
CROSS AND STAR. YOU WILL NEVER SEE WHERE I
PROCLAIM MYSELF TO BE GOD; OR HAVE I TOLD
YOU I AM EDUCATED?

I have never attended any school of learning or any

theological seminary to qualify even as a preacher.
But all I say is this: "That the Father who is God is
the one doing these works." But how else can I make
myself clear?

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

of God serving God. Have you ever seen me in those
places? Or does God not merit this glory? Or do you
not know that all thanks and glory must be given to
Him now? There is no pastor or prophet or any man
on earth that should be given the glory due to God.

Anyone who receives the glory due to God is a

blasphemer. I have not hidden anything from you; but
have spoken to you publicly and privately that the
Father is the one doing these works. He is the one
that prays, sings, preaches, and performs all the
wondrous works now on earth. Think of it. If a person
does not have even a single kobo (penny); and
people go about saying that he is a millionaire, is
that not mockery and a very shameful thing?
Likewise when you say that Leader O. O. Obu has
power, and that he is the one doing these works, you
are making yourself a liar. I am grateful to God that I
have never at any time told you that I am the one
doing these works. I have at all times attributed all
glory to the Father. Let the second Bible lesson be
read.

Second Bible Lesson: 1 Corinthians 15:28.

"And when all things shall be subdued unto Him,

then shall the Son also be subject unto Him that put
all things under Him, that God may be all in all."

IT IS TRUE THAT GOD SUBJECTED EVERYTHING TO

CHRIST. BUT NOW CHRIST MUST SUBJECT
EVERYTHING TO THE FATHER SO THAT THE
FATHER MAY BE ALL THINGS, AND DO ALL THINGS.
NOW IS THE FULLNESS OF TIME. NOW IS THE TIME
FOR THE GLORY TO BE GIVEN TO THE FATHER
SINCE JESUS CHRIST HAS NOW SUBJECTED ALL
THINGS TO HIM. If you say that all things are done
by the Father, it means that the Son, the angels and
the children of God are inclusive. But if you say you
are the one doing the work, or that the work is either
done by the Son or the angels, you have disgraced
God.

Where then is God? And where were you when the

Son was sent? Did you not hear the Son crying with a
loud voice on the cross, saying: "My God, my God,
why hast thou forsaken me?" That is why the worldly
people say that there must be something hidden
underneath in Brotherhood. Why? Because even
Jesus, the Son of God, came and died; and at times
when they plot against you, and fail woefully, they
wonder what force should have overcome their plot.
Or when in your place of work a termination paper is
made for you, but later turns out to be your
promotion, they become blood-stilled. Or even when
they spend sleepless nights planning evil against
you, and you are enjoying an undisturbed sleep, they
wonder. These and many other surprises give the
world food for thought, that there must be something
underneath here in Brotherhood. Are these
evidences not enough for you to give glory to God?
If in your office you are promoted, and you attributed
the promotion to God by saying: "I thank God for
promoting me, "your boss will be mad at you, and
may most likely withdraw your promotion because
you do not give him the glory. If I had not told you
this thing then you would be correct to say that I am
the one doing the work, but now that I have told you
that God is the one doing all the works, you are
inexcusable. Therefore anyone saying that Leader
Obu is the one doing the work is a liar, and if Leader
Obu says he is the one doing these works, it is false.
God forbid! I HAVE NEVER SAID SO, BUT RATHER
THAT ALL PRAISES AND GLORY SHOULD BE GIVEN
TO GOD THE FATHER THE DOER OF THESE THINGS.
ALL THAT YOU DO HERE, WHETHER YOU KNEEL
DOWN, KNOCK YOUR FOREHEADS ON THE GROUND,
OR ADDRESS A LETTER TO ME, YOU ARE IN FACT
DOING THESE THINGS NOT TO ME BUT TO GOD THE
FATHER.

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

have any power of my own. I have no wisdom of my
own. I am not a preacher neither am I the doer of
anything. You must know that EVEN THOUGH YOU
ARE GODS, YOU ARE NOT GOD. AND ALTHOUGH
YOU ARE SONS, YOU ARE NOT THE SON. YOU MUST
KNOW THAT THIS IS THE TIME TO GIVE GOD HIS
DUE GLORY. DO NOT SEEK ANY GLORY AGAIN
BECAUSE THE ONE THAT HAS THE LEGAL RIGHT
HAS COME TO RULE.

Those who charge money for the powerful works

they perform do so because they perceive that
power belongs to them. This is false. ALL OF YOU
ARE GOD'S VESSELS AND TOOLS. THEREFORE GIVE
GLORY TO GOD IN ALL THAT HE DOES FROM DAY
TO DAY. BRETHREN, PUT THIS GOSPEL INTO
PRACTICE BECAUSE THE SON HAS SURRENDERED
ALL THINGS TO THE FATHER, AND THE FATHER
HAS BECOME ALL THINGS.

TO CALL ME A LEADER IS CORRECT BECAUSE GOD

HAS PROVIDED A LIVING EXAMPLE FOR YOU IN ME
IN ORDER TO LEAD YOU TO GOD'S KINGDOM. THE
QUALITIES YOU SEE IN ME ARE FOR YOU TO
EMULATE. BUT TO CALL ME GOD, NO PLEASE, I AM
NOT THE ONE. The reason I do not worry myself to
move from one place to another to preach is because
the Father is here, and all things have been
subjected to Him, and He is the one doing all things.
He is the one to reconcile the whole world to
Himself. Under Him I am free, just as you are.

All gifts that you receive are from Him; and all that
you give out are also from Him. I have taught you all
these things. I have given you this truth that God is
the one you must worship; and all glory must be
given to Him direct, and not to any man.

God who is now on earth has instructed us to love

one another just as He loves us. YOU MUST OBEY
HIS VOICE. WE MUST LOVE HIM BECAUSE HE LOVES
US, AND CALLS US HIS CHILDREN. OUR BEING
GODS IS ALSO BECAUSE HE WISHES US TO BE
THUS, ALL TO HIS GLORY. Today He has informed us
that all things have been subjected to Him, and that
all glory should be given to Him. God has come down
to rule this world for eternity. Go and tell the world
that Christ, angels, prophets, and the children of God
are here to witness the rule of God over the universe.
God's words never go unfulfilled.

It was prophesied that a virgin will conceive and

bear a male child. This was so. (Isa 7:14). Another
prophesy had it that a woman will conceive and bear
a male child, and that this child will rule the whole
world (Isa 9:6) with an iron rod (Rev 12:5). This has
also been fulfilled.

Another prophesy said that God will, at His

appointed time, make His dwelling among men (Lev
26:11-12). Today, this prophesy is fulfilled. (Rev
21:3). "God is here now to take control over all
things. Give glory to God, the Father, always."
When Jesus Christ was on the Cross He cried with a
loud voice: "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken
me?" (Matt 27:46 / Mark 15:34). If God did not get out
from Him, He would not have been killed. SO TODAY
THAT GOD HAS COME TO DWELL WITH YOU. WHAT
CAN A MAN DO TO YOU? WHY DO YOU PANIC AND
FEAR? YOU HAVE MAXIMUM PROTECTION,
SECURITY AND SATISFACTION. FOR AGES NOW
MAN HAS TRIED BY HIS OWN EFFORTS TO FORSAKE
SIN. BUT HE HAS BEEN UNABLE. BUT NOW GOD
HAS COME TO CHANGE PEOPLE, AND SANCTIFY
THEM FOR HIMSELF. LET ALL THOSE WHO DO NOT
BELIEVE IN THE EXISTENCE OF GOD WEEP; FOR
THEY MUST SEE GOD IN HIS FULL GLORY AND
MAJESTY NOW. May we hear the golden text.

Golden Text: Revelation 21:3

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

Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He
will dwell with them, and they shall be His people,
and God Himself shall be with them, and be their
God."

Has this statement not come to pass in this

generation? Does this refer to angels, prophets or
the Son? Never! IT REFERS TO THE FATHER, GOD.
HE IS THE ONE TO DWELL WITH MEN. WHEN WE
TALK OF BROTHERHOOD WE ARE REFERRING TO
THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH AND THE
UNIVERSE.

Today the talk of the town is that Brotherhood of the

Cross and Star has subdued all forces and powers in
the world; a clear evidence that God has taken
control over all things. YES, FOR YEARS THE LITTLE
SALT GIVEN YOU WAS INSUFFICIENT FOR YOUR
MEAL. THIS WAS SO IN TERMS OF POWER OF THE
ANGELS, PROPHETS AND EVEN, THE SON. BUT NOW
THE SOURCE OF ALL DYNAMIC POWERS HAS
ARRIVED. All things animate and inanimate, seen
and unseen must submit to THE SUPREME BEING,
the Guest of the time. ALL KINGDOMS, RULERSHIP,
ALL POWERS AND AUTHORITIES MUST BOW TO
THIS GREAT RULER, THE ALMIGHTY GOD.

Your foremost responsibility is to believe that God is

here on earth; and that the Son, the angels and the
prophets and all the children of God are here to
provide all things for you. HE HAS COME TO REVEAL
HIS SON TO THE WORLD. HE HAS COME TO REVEAL
ALL HIS CHILDREN TO THE WORLD, AND TO
RECEIVE THE HONOUR AND GLORY DUE HIM
BEFORE THE WORLD WAS.

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

sick man is cured he gives glory to the native doctor.
But only a foolish doctor will accept or receive such
glory. Of course, if he receives the glory for having
cured someone; and then another sick person is
brought, and he is unable to cure him or he dies, then
he is a liar. YOU MUST BE VERY CAREFUL SO THAT
YOU DO NOT RECEIVE THE GLORY DUE TO GOD;
BECAUSE GOD REQUIRES AN EXCLUSIVE HONOUR.

Very soon you will see a child of two raising the

dead, or even a robber doing some powerful work.
You will look for a sign but you will be led astray
because you do not believe in the presence of God. It
is because of lack of faith and belief by some people
that God is the One doing this work. That makes
them wander from place to place, from one prophet
to another, and from one pastor to another; and if
they are healed, they attribute such healing to either
the prophet or the pastor.

Sometimes you may see a sick person who was

taken to the hospital, and he recovers; and because
of your lack of faith, you doubt God's presence; and
when you are sick you would want to be admitted
into the hospital, but you may die there. IT IS TRUE
THAT GOD IS EVERYWHERE. BUT YOU MUST
ACKNOWLEDGE HIS PRESENCE, AND CAPABILITY
OF DOING ALL THINGS. HE IS A SPIRIT. HE IS IN ME
AND IN YOU AND IN ALL THINGS. WHAT IS
IMPOSSIBLE WITH MEN IS POSSIBLE WITH GOD. WE
SHOULD WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH AS
THE ONLY CREATOR OF ALL THINGS.

THOSE WHO SPEND THEIR TIME TO THINK OF A

SUCCESSOR TO LEADER OBU WHEN HE DIES ARE
VERY UNREASONABLE PEOPLE. AND THOSE WHO
ARE OUTSIDE, AND ARE TRYING TO SEE THE END
OF LEADER OBU SO THAT BROTHERHOOD MAY
CEASE TO FUNCTION, ARE ALSO VERY, VERY
UNREASONABLE. IS THE WORK IN BROTHERHOOD
OF THE CROSS AND STAR DONE BY THE LEADER?
WHETHER I AM HERE OR NOT; ONE THING STANDS
OUT. THESE WORKS WILL CONTINUE BECAUSE THE
DOER IS HERE BY HIMSELF; AND HE IS GOD, THE
FATHER.

Many of you have been stricken with fear when you

hear that you will no more see the Leader. That is to
put faith in you. When you see before you believe;
that is not faith. Faith is the assured expectation of
things hoped for, the evident demonstration of
realities though not beheld.

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

attend meetings that the Leader would not attend,
and do not honour any letter or circular that is not
signed by the Leader. Blessed are those who do not
see , and yet believe. Believe as from today that God
is the one doing these works.
THESE WORKS ARE NOT DONE BY LEADER OBU OR
OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU OR O.O.O. GOD IS THE ONE
WHO CREATED THIS O.O.O., AND THAT GOD IS THE
ONE DOING HIS WORKS NOW IN THE UNIVERSE. I
GIVE GLORY TO GOD WHO HAS COME TO RULE THE
WORLD. THEREFORE ALL THAT YOU DO, WHETHER
IN SONGS, PRAYER AND WORSHIP, DO THEM TO
GOD. DO NOT WORSHIP MAN, DO NOT GIVE GLORY
TO MAN. DO NOT ENSLAVE MAN. WORSHIP GOD,
AND GIVE HIM GLORY; FOR HE IS NOW ON EARTH.

Some of you have seen God face to face; but you are
still doubting in your minds. Do not keep your eyes
on the things you see but rather on the things
unseen; for the things seen are temporary, but the
things unseen are everlasting. Some of you get
worried when you are not able to see the Leader.
Does it mean that God does not see you? PUT NOT
YOUR TRUST IN PRINCES, NOR IN THE SON OF MAN,
IN WHOM THERE IS NO HELP. O.O.OBU IS A MAN
LIKE YOU ARE, BUT GOD IS GOD FOREVER. O.O.OBU
CAN GO ANYWHERE JUST AS YOU CAN, BUT GOD IS
OMNIPRESENT.

Go and tell the world that you made a mistake when

you told them that the work done here in
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is performed by a
man. Because what you see here and what you have
heard done here is not anything that can be done by
man, angel, prophet or the Son. Tell them that God
has come to dwell with men, and that God is the One
doing all these things.

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

then it is like saying that God lives in a building. But
is God so small as to live in a building? NOT AT ALL!
God remains faithful and true to His promises,
although man may stumble and fall. There is only one
God that controls the universe. There is no division.
There is neither male nor female, young or old. All
are in union with the Lord. All were created by this
one God that controls the universe; and today His
tabernacle is here with His creatures, to dwell with
them, and be their God forever.

Brethren, those who have ears to hear, let them

hear. May God bless His holy words.

THE SUPERNATURAL TEACHER,

BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR
HIGHLIGHTS:
Olumba Olumba Obu, The Lion Of Judah

You will take note that I am neither Adam, nor

Abraham, nor Moses, nor Elijah, nor John the Baptist,
nor Jesus, nor Peter, nor John, nor Paul. BUT I AM
THAT I AM. HAVE I NOT PRACTICED THE WORD OF
GOD? I have opened the Book. I have closed and
reopened it. I have emptied it and turned it upside
down. I have revealed the contents. I have practiced
and I have taught you. What then remains? Every
person has testified that the Leader preaches the
real Word of God, practices the Word, and that He is
a real man of God. YES, THAT IS MY
QUALIFICATION. But search throughout the world
and mention any person who can open and read and
practice the content of the little Book.

Adam came to the world, married a wife but

because of fornication both of them fell out of the
grace of God. Both John the Baptist and Our Lord
Jesus Christ came and had no wives, and yet could
not practice the Word of God. BUT I COME WITH
BROTHERS, SISTERS AND EVERY OTHER THING,
BUT I AM ABLE TO PRACTICE THE WORD TO THE
SATISFACTION OF EVERYBODY. Somebody going to
remain at a place for a short time goes with only a
briefcase. But a person who goes to live in a place
as his final home must go there bag and baggage.
He Who Believes In Me Shall Do Greater Works (John
14:12)

Our Lord Jesus Christ had only 12 disciples, but

consider our present situation where there are
disciples in all States of the Federation and in India,
Britain, America, Ghana, Liberia, Cameroon, and
many other places. What do you think about that sort
of man? Is there any act of sin you have not
committed, and has any person reprimanded you? Do
you have any problems since your sojourn in this
Kingdom? If you carry any of the equipment away, no
person will prevent you from carrying it away. You
will be encouraged to take it and the next. It will be
replaced by many similar property. When you find
yourself in such a situation, will you not be weak and
discouraged?

Lazarus died and Our Lord Jesus Christ wept. If you

compare the situation with what happens in this
Kingdom, would you say that my eyes would ever be
dry of tears as a result of the number of people who
die from day to day? When He preached to people,
those who did not repent He cursed and pronounced
woe on them. (Matt 11:21). Today the Word of God is
preached to the people that they should refrain from
sin. But you stay before Me and steal, and quarrel,
and fight. Have you ever been suspended or
punished? He took a whip in the temple and
walloped those who bought and sold and changed in
the temple. Of course, He was correct to have done
that because He was the Son of God, and God
Himself, and so He made no mistake. There is no
mistake with God. I am only pointing out to you the
Teaching He Himself has set out.

I Preach And Practice The Word Of God

Go and take your Bible and open from Genesis to

Revelation. You will discover that I have overworked
myself. I have bisected the contents of the Bible. I
have turned it upside down, and I have practiced all
the Words nominate in the Bible. I am not the Christ.
I am not God, nor am I John , nor the Prophet, nor an
Elder, nor any other thing. I am neither a man nor an
apparition. But one thing I know is that I have
preached the Word of God, and I have imparted this
Gospel of God to the entire World. If there is any
person in this world or in another world who says he
can practice the Word of God let him come out and
show himself. If there is any person, whether an
angel or spirit or an apparition bring him to Me. Have
I ever suspended any member, or have I ever cursed
any person? Have I ever expelled you? Whatever has
happened, I only embrace you, no matter what you
commit; because the Word of God directs that I
should embrace such a person since I am enjoined
not to resist an evildoer. What about you? Have you
not been resisting the evildoer? If you feel it is that
simple, demonstrate it to the notice of people. A
great many of you have remained here for more than
twenty (20) years, and you have been advised to
refrain from theft, fornication, exasperation,
falsehood; but you have not refrained from these, or
to forsake sin and not to begrudge any person. Have
you been able to refrain from sin in order to practice
the Word of God?

Boast Not In Carnal Things

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

nothing; but I boast in practicing the Word of God. I
would like to tell you categorically that I have
opened that little Book. I have read the contents, I
have practiced the Words, and I have taught others
to practice them, and I have revealed every secret
thing to you. That is what was written about Me, and
that is the purpose for which I came. The Bible says:
"Sell all you have, and distribute the money to the
poor;" (Matt 19:21) and you think that the statement
was a parable. Who tells you it was a parable? It is
no parable. It is nothing but the truth. You should go
and sell all that you have. There is no joke about
this. Refrain from theft, falsehood, fornication,
quarrelling, and other acts of sin. Forsake all your
ways of life, your behaviors and idiosyncrasies.
Forsake your house, clothes, motor cars, wife,
husband, children and indeed your life. Otherwise
you are not worthy of this Kingdom. Again, it is said,
if any man come to Me, and hate not his father, and
mother, and wife and children, and brethren and
sister; yea, and his own life also, he cannot be My
disciple. (Luke 14:26). The golden text should be a
source of happiness and joy to you. You should
rejoice, indeed all the elements do rejoice. Heaven is
rejoicing and earth is rejoicing except man. It is a
truism that man should rejoice because the little
Book has been opened and read, and the contents
practiced, and the same imparted to you. The
implication is that all of you are saved. I do not
mince Word that you will be saved, but that you are
saved, except there is a child of perdition in your
midst.

With The Reading Of The Book You Are Saved

God did not covenant that He will through two

persons save the world. But He said He would
through one person save the world. (Rom 5:19). As
long as somebody has opened and read the small
Book, if you believe in the fellow who can read the
Book, then you are saved. You become free, whether
or not you put the Word of God into practice. Since
someone has successfully opened and read the
Book, you are entirely free. There is no other Book
from where you can read and get salvation. You have
however remained here for 20 to 40 years, and yet
cannot practice the Gospel, but you are free, since
the small Book has been opened and read.

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

Jesus Christ. But you do not see Him. He opens,
removes the seals, reads the contents and practices
them. But you do not see Him. We should glorify the
Father and magnify His Name. We should no longer
ask questions. Do not be sad and sorrowful. Do not
doubt God who has revealed Himself to you and the
entire world.

Out Of The Fullness Of The Heart The Mouth Speaks

(Matt 12:34)

Many of you stand before people and declare that

the Father is the Lord Jesus Christ incarnate. When
you do this, has any person disturbed you? You have
stood before people in the street and market place
and declared that the Father is the Almighty God. No
person asks any questions. Have you remembered
that Our Lord Jesus Christ only declared that He was
the Son of God, and the people killed Him? But today
you declare that the Leader is Our Lord Jesus Christ,
or He is God. No person asks any question. None
raises an eyebrow. Another person will rise up and
declare Him as the Almighty God who made heaven
and earth. But no person will bandy words with him.
Now there are three which bear witness in heaven.
They are the Father, the Word, and the Spirit. All
three agree.(1 John 5:7).

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

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

those who look at you will register a dirty slap on
your cheek, and would tell you that He is the
Almighty God, and Our Lord Jesus Christ is only His
Son. Here also we have another school of thought
which claims Him as Christ incarnate. He has come
back; and they are very firm in what they believe.
Others here also claim that He is not the Christ but
the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, which Our Lord Jesus
Christ promised He would send. Those who hold this
belief are very strong, that no matter how strong the
wind, the stone will not be moved; come rain, come
sunshine.

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

the Holy Spirit? Is He not the Son? Then what is your
argument? This equation will actually prove the
point. 0+0+0=0; 0-0-0=0. Why do you bother yourself
unnecessarily? Some refer to Him as a wonderful
man. What is the meaning of your argument? The
answer is still the nought.
To Obey Is Better Than Sacrifice (1 Sam 15:22)

Moses truly said unto our fathers, a prophet shall

the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren,
like unto me, Him shall ye hear in all things
whatsoever He shall say unto you. (Acts 3:22) And it
shall come to pass that every soul which will not
hear that prophet shall be destroyed from amongst
the people. If therefore you argue that he is a
prophet, it is still the same thing. It is the same "O".
If you call Him a wonderful man it still serves the
nought. If you call Him a man of God, it is still the
same nought. Call Him Bishop or Pastor or Apostle, it
is still the same. What you will go away with is that
we all should rejoice because in God all of us are
saved and redeemed. Do not be sad and sorrowful
that you are alone without relations; or that you are
lost or that the country is not auguring well. Since
the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit have come
down to this earth at this end of time, the whole
world is saved. The only proviso is that you should
not indulge in any act of sin. If you have been a thief,
a liar, a murderer, a whoremonger, abstain yourself
from the vices because the owner of the vineyard
has come. He dwells in our bodies. We have a guide
always. Wherever He sends you do not disobey.
Wherever He takes you to, follow and do not doubt
because, being His instrument, He can take us to
any place. The world will be bamboozled for what He
will do with the world. Do not ask for anything, but
glorify Him. Give Him thanks in all things. This is the
time for everything to thank Him, glorify Him and
serve Him.

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

stroke of the cane is sufficient for the wise. Those
who have ears let them hear. May God bless His
Words. Amen.
