Everlasting Gospel
First lesson: 2 Peter: 3:13
"Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.”
Second lesson: Revelation: 21:1-2
" And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away: and there was no more sea. And I John saw the Holy City, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.”
Golden text: Revelation: 14:7
"Saying with a loud voice. Fear God and give glory to Him; for the hour of His judgement has come: and worship Him who made heaven and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of water.”
Brethren, the texts above form the theme of our revelation. The difference between the real worshippers of God and worshippers of men is that the former serve God and the latter work for human beings. In the world, you cannot render any service to any person except you are given gratification. Before somebody accepts to preach to a group of people, he has already agreed with the people on condition of being given a fee. Whoever renders a service is paid and without a fee is no service rendered. Such a person does not worship God but a human being. Another form of man worship is when an eye-service is rendered. When people are around you do not commit any vice, you pretend to be righteous but when you are alone, you commit all sorts of atrocities. In such a situation you do not fear God but man.
5.1 We ought to fear God rather than man
Whenever you want to do any good to somebody, you will make sure that every person in the community is present to witness what you are doing. This is another form of man worship. Lip service is yet another form, when you are prepared to flatter. You may be assigned to a certain duty, which you proffer but not performed. If you give a piece of advice to somebody and he derives some benefits from it because he had complied with it, then you gallivant about telling people that you are the brain behind the man's success and that without your advice he would not have succeeded, such an action tantamounts to man worship. Always you fear and respect the man you see but you neither fear God nor worship Him. The worship of God consists in your rendering a service without a fee or praise, you toil but do not count the costs, labour and without asking for any reward. You render free service to people without being asked.
When you give advice or make presents, do them free of charge and in secret, do not make any announcement believing that you do them to God and not to man. You do not want any person to thank you or to praise you for what you have done. You should not even wait for people to come around to see what you have done. This amounts to worshipping God in spirit and in truth.
Wherever you are and whatever your condition always do good even in the forest or at your house, concentrate in doing good, do not tell lies or bear grudge against any person, you should be unchangeable in your behaviour, constant wherever you are. You have heard that God is Omnipresent, He is also Omniscient and He is Omnipotent. If, therefore, you should take these attributes of God for a truth then you would remain constant and unchanging in your good conduct. If you do not sin when you are in the market or in your room or in your office, you are a true worshipper of God.
However if you do not sin while in the open but sin when you are alone, then you are worshipping man.
5.2 Worship God in spirit and in truth
Those who worship God in spirit and in truth, also believe that God exists and hears all prayers. Such persons would love every person alike and would resign themselves to God knowing that everything belongs to God, whether it is ability, power, wisdom. They would also know that He is more powerful and wiser than any other person. They would do everything to glorify Him. Any person in this category will not pray for a sick man and charge a fee for it. He does not charge for preaching to another person. He is not interested in profiteering and does not want to gain much from his trade or occupation. Already he has known and heard that God is good, that He is love. He is patient. He is a kind Father. He has life. He owns him from the hairs of his head to his toes, that his speech, thought, the word he speaks, all come from God. Tell me the reason people should not worship God, and why they should not serve Him. His intention is always to reveal the glory of God. As a matter of fact, it is rather difficult for a true worshipper of God to go astray. He has only one pattern of life in his office, in his house, in the market place, and wherever you see him he behaves in a similar way. From January till December, he is unchangeable in his behaviour, he is constant because God is one and unchanging. He does not know of any sin, neither does he know deceit, craftiness, nor wickedness; he only knows the truth, humility, love, and righteousness. He is a lover of man not bothering if he is being hated or discriminated against or whether he is recognised or not. His only concern is to serve God, because he knows that his God is perfect. Those who worship God in spirit and in truth have no time for anything, neither life nor death nor disgrace, nor sickness, but what they know is that God is everything and in everything. They do not mind what people say and do not see what they see.
5.3 God is seen in your life
You can only see God in your person. He is not outside; you can only see God in your way of life, and in your thought. You listen to what He says with a view to doing what He commands without looking at man or what he is doing. Whether you are loved or hated, but since you know that God loves you and that He exists, whether man loves you or not you have no problem. Since God is not human physically, He is a Spirit, which you know, and exists everywhere. He is the Word of God given out everyday. The true worshippers, therefore, have a duty to believe in the Word of God.
You need no person to tell you, but you realise yourself that as He lives in you so does He live in every other person, as He is not seen in you, He is not seen in any other person, but you must serve Him knowing that He exists. You should not mind any other consideration whether you are loved or not, or whether or not people appreciate what you are doing, but be consoled that He sees, knows and appreciates everything. He is the doer of everything devoid of pride, pomposity and arrogance. This is why the children of God should not drink because He knows that when they drink, they will defile the temple of the living God. The children of God know that God has no other dwelling place. We are His dwelling place. We are houses constructed by Him, we are His vineyards, and we therefore, have to maintain the house undefiled, to keep it pure so that He can always dwell therein.
5.4 Give in secret
Brethren, if you were one of those who worship God, you would understand that whatever service you render to a child or an old man you are not rendering the services to either of them but to God. Similarly any ill treatment meted out to anybody is meted to God. The children of God have no concern with the human being they see but with the Father because they know that unless you honour Him you cannot succeed. They also know that whatever they do are done by God and to God. Wherever they are, they know that they are physically with the Father and so they always commune with the Father, even if they are in the forest and receive the answers directly. Those who worship man are full of complaints. At an occasion they would complain that it should be suspended because invitees are few. They do this because they do not pray. They are easily discouraged, if they are not praised and applauded for what they do, they become frustrated. Where there is a large crowd, he puts on his gorgeous dress, moves majestically carrying shoulders high and does everything to compel acceptance of his personality by the crowd. Such a being does not know God; he worships man. When he is at home alone, he feels lonesome and afraid fearing that thieves or even machinations of Satan can plunder or bewitch him; he worships man not God. Such a person does not depend upon his ability. He cannot do or say anything out of his own volition; he depends on others for advice, for guidance and direction. If he is sick, he does not know what to do and so seeks advice from other persons. He is full of complaints and excuses because he worships man and does not know or believe in God. If he suffers pain he shouts, wails and weeps disgustingly to attract sympathy, he frowns and his face shows expression of frustration. Such a person worships man and not God; he does not believe in God.
5.5 God knows everything
However, any person who worships God can suffer pain for many days without complaining to any person, he will not frown his face, he will not abuse people, he will resign himself to God because he realises that God knows everything and that He knows about his pains and how to care for him. He also knows that the Father is doing His work and that whatever happens is according to the will of the Father.
Brethren, now you have seen the difference between those who worship God and those who worship man. It is only in this new world, this new kingdom of God that righteousness dwells. We serve God in the right way, we do not worship human being, neither do we worship money nor clothes, nor shoes, but we only worship God. That was why our Lord Jesus Christ told Thomas, “Blessed are those who do not see and yet they believe." This statement holds good to all of you, it is blessed to those who do not see but they believe. What is that thing which is not seen? It is God. And those who do not see but believe and know that God is sitting with them right at the place they are, though they have not seen Him with their carnal eyes but they know that God exists and is with them. They believe that God walks with them, even if they are confronted with difficulties, that He shows them a way of escape.
There is no use for you asking, "'Where is God?" If you worship man you will always be frightened into doing what is good, but when the man is out of sight, you kill and commit other vices. When the man you worship is around, you show how you are very kind and benevolent by displaying your wealth and distributing them to people. Immediately the man goes away, you start beating up the people and collecting back all that you gave them. This means that you worship man not God. That is why John the Divine said, "I saw no temple therein, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.”
5.6 The new heaven and new earth
The whole world, and even the disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ were eagerly waiting for new heaven and a new earth wherein dwells righteousness. Our Lord Jesus Christ said that the true worshippers should worship the Father in spirit and in truth. As a true worshipper of God, you have no right to act according to the dictates of the flesh. You have no business with carnality, neither are you concerned with the affairs of other people. Whether somebody is a criminal, or he has committed murder, none of these is your business. Your concern is with God. He has never been absent. He is and will ever be.
When you come across a man who discriminates against another person because he is a thief or a swindler, such a person worships human being not God. That was why our Lord Jesus Christ said, "You are they who justify yourselves before men but God knows your hearts for that which is highly esteemed among men is abominable in the sight of God." The children of God watch the motive, and the spirit behind actions because the spirit, which is in them, is invariably God. He is power. It is this spirit that the children of God fear and serve: they do not fear or serve men. It is erroneous to complain that a person does not love you because God alone loves you. You have no concern with the colour of the body; your concern is with Christ alone. You do not know any person by name or status or from his village, what you know is your God. You are not alone, because wherever you are; God is with you there. In your house, your office, whatever condition or circumstances you find yourself, you feel satisfied because you know He is with you and that Christ is also with you. For this reason, you are neither angry nor fastidious.
It was for this reason our Lord Jesus Christ told His disciples that there will come a time when all of them will desert Him but that He knows for sure that He is not alone but with the Father.
5.7 Serve God rather than man
This is the time when all should submit to God; to serve Him day and night, to reverence Him, to worship Him who created both heaven and earth and the fullness thereof. This is not the time for paying eye-service, because if you do, these services are not recorded. Had we served God as our Lord Jesus Christ enjoined us and to love one another even as He loved us; we would not have had any problem. This means that whatever you do, is for Christ and not man. It is easier for you to serve God than to serve man.
Whatever you do for man for personal benefit is a loss because God who sees in the spirit will not record for you that you have done any good work. That is why our Lord Jesus Christ said that when you are presenting a gift, you should not allow the left hand to know what the right hand is doing. If you allow the right hand either, to know what the left hand does; it means that you have exposed the receiver to ridicule and as such you have no reward, from God. Show your kindness and benevolence in secret. If you rather announce that people should watch your presentation, you have no reward whatsoever. It also exposes your ignorance of God because if you were to have known God you would have performed the presentation in private and in your house. Even if you leave the gift say, under the person's pillow, do you think that God would not see and reward you? There is no wisdom whatever for any person who professes to be worshiping God, to give alms to the poor and needy in public. This is the time for every person in the world to serve God. Read our first lesson again.
First lesson: 2 Peter: 3:13
"Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.”
5.8 Those who live in the flesh and those who live in spirit identified
Brethren, have you taken note of that? The entire world was waiting for this period of time (which is meant for every person to serve God) and only righteousness dwells here. The Holy Spirit, the Comforter has now come on the earth. You have to walk according to the commandments of God, do not listen to man, only listen to God and walk according, to the promptings of the spirit by doing only what He directs you to do.
What I am going to reveal to you now is the distinction between one who lives in the flesh and the one who lives in the spirit. In so far as there is envy, jealousy, quarrelling, fighting and division in your midst, you are in the flesh. In as much as you create distinction between yourselves that you are of Paul and the other says that he is of Apollos, you are in the flesh. What is Paul and what is Apollos? Both of them are messengers through whom God did perform His work.
If we walk in the spirit, we shall know neither Paul nor Apollos, but the Father, Jehovah God and His Christ, to serve Him all the days of our lives. All of them were expecting that when the Comforter, the Holy Spirit comes, everything would be made perfect, because there would be righteousness, peace, love, and there would be no division, or quarreling, no fighting since every person would be the same and would see Him. Such persons live in the spirit.
5.9 The Apostles had all things in common
This relates to the fruit of the spirit, which is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, mercy, and truth. Do you not believe that God is instrumental to all the events in the world? All those who are of God believe and trust in Him, they also know that He has come to perform His wonderful works on earth. You have heard that the apostles were praying, asking for power and the Holy Spirit descended on them and filled the house in which they were sitting, until the building began to shake. They all were filled with the Holy Spirit and they spoke with divers tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance, and also preached boldly. All that believed were together having one spirit and one mind and sold their possessions and goods and parted them to all men as every man had need, which means that they had seen the glory of God. No person hoarded his goods to himself alone but shared them equally with others. No person held any thing back to himself. They had to sell whatever they possessed, those who had farms sold them, those who had motorcars or houses or land also sold them and put the proceeds in the treasury.
They were not compelled to do this by man. Those who did not believe did not sell their property but they kept them back. Even Ananias who sold his property and kept part of the proceeds did not believe. Why Ananias told a lie was that he thought that he was dealing with human beings and not God. If Ananias had known that God owned that farm that he himself belonged to God, that God had known how much the farm, was sold and how much was left behind, he would not have lied to Peter.
5.10 The new heaven and the new earth is here
I am not telling you that God came down yesterday or has come today or will come tomorrow. God had existed before the beginning of all things, but this period is for you all to serve Him. This time is just like an embryonic stage of anything, hence people expect something, a young one from it. From the beginning of the world people had been waiting for the new heaven and the new earth wherein dwells righteousness. This is the time we have been waiting for, we are now in that new heaven and new earth. You are aware that when Peter and others were in the world, they did not have the opportunity of seeing the new heaven and the new earth, otherwise, Peter would have not said that they were waiting for new heaven and new earth.
It then stands to reason that if there is no righteousness, it is not the new heavens and new earth. As an illustration: if you are given a plan of a building to be erected; unless you build according to the specification of the architectural drawings as approved; you cannot say that you have finished the building construction well. Tell the whole world that the new heavens and new earth that they were waiting for is a place where righteousness resides.
Wherever you find yourself, if righteousness is not found, it means that the place is not the new heavens and the new earth. It is said, “The Lord is a Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty”. God is love, where there is love. God is there. You cannot find God in any other form apart from in the form of love, of truth, righteousness, humility, patience, peace and meekness. No matter what you do if you are devoid of righteousness, you are not worthy of this new kingdom. Anger is not required in this kingdom, because only righteousness dwells. Neither quarrelling, division, fastidiousness nor lies are needed here. It is only righteousness that is required. This new kingdom, with which we are joking, is where man had no opportunity to see though man had been waiting for it right from the beginning of the world. Abraham could not see it because he was a warrior, involved in mass killing of people. When his cousin reported to him of being encompassed by soldiers, he went with his soldiers, fought and killed the enemies. Was that an act of righteousness? Have you ever heard of or witnessed righteousness since the beginning of the world? Stealing, fornication, fighting, and prostitution and all sins are unrighteous acts.
Righteousness is only found here. If you like, travel far and wide to see if you can find righteousness, for you will realise that whatever vice you see in Nigeria is found in other places all over the world. Upon this most people claim that things go well in the world. Should you travel now, and people find you in an odd corner, you will be beaten to a pulp. Some people on seeing this will sing and dance; is that righteousness? Wherever you find money, you will do everything possible to get it and after that you will invite people to drink with you because you have money without even minding how you got it; is that righteousness? The condition in the world should remind you of that kingdom. Paul suffered untold tribulations and afflictions; Peter forsook all his possessions to follow Christ because they were all waiting for the new heavens and new earth.
5.11 Christ's Spirit is that of righteousness
There is one spirit but divers gifts and duties. That was why, when Christ and His disciples went to Jerusalem through the small town of Samaria, which did not believe, the disciples asked that Christ should pray for fire to rain down and consume the Samaritans because they did not believe, but Christ reprimanded them. He told them that they did not know the type of spirit that is within Him for He came not to destroy but to save. So, it is now. The Spirit we have now is that of righteousness, love, peace, truth and all the virtues of God. There is no deceit and guile in it, there is neither fastidiousness nor sighing nor weeping. Our Lord Jesus Christ has said that as we have borne that image of the earthly, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
We should learn our lessons from the Nigerian civil war, how it was fought because there is war which one fights with a machet, others with guns and with bombers and fighters. This is not the period for war. When Peter took up the sword to cut off the ear of the servant of a high priest, Christ advised him to put his sword in its sheath because he who takes a sword dies by a sword. Yet Abraham, David, and Moses used “a sword” in killing people, but as there were not in the period of righteousness, their actions were approved of God. All those things transpired as Christ did not yet come to shed His precious blood, but now that He had come, it is only righteousness that reigns.
5.12 God’s kingdom has arrived
This is the time the kingdom of God has descended to the earth; believe it or not. Thus the prophecy that the kingdoms of this world have become the kingdom of Jehovah God and His Christ, is now fulfilled. Read the second lesson to prove to you that John saw the new heavens and the new earth descended down.
Second lesson: Revelation: 21:1-2
" And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away: and there was no more sea. And I John saw the Holy City, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.”
5.13 Righteous living has replaced old sinful ways of doing things
Brethren, how do you see that? That which the world was waiting for, John saw it, new heaven and new earth descending from heaven. You cannot visualize it with carnal eyes, neither can you hear about it with carnal ears nor serve Him with carnal limbs. Many people make a mistake when they say that since our Lord Jesus Christ got angry and beat up people; they should not be restrained from anger. If you say that you have erred. Others argue that since He cursed the fig tree and the people of Chorazin and Bethsaida who did not practise the word of God, they should curse; if you do that you have erred. Others allege that it was our Lord Jesus Christ who introduced wine because He brewed wine during the marriage feast at Cana of Galilee, here you have also erred. Some others trying to buttress their mourning and weeping propensities maintain that even our Lord Jesus Christ wept. Have you not erred? Have you not heard what our Lord Jesus Christ said through the mouth of Saint Paul that "leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection: not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith towards God." Is this not convincing enough that at that time no person had this knowledge and the new heaven and new earth did not yet come down. It is true that he was a friend of sinners, he ate with sinners, but now that the new heaven and new earth have descended will he still associate with sinners? He died once unto sin but thereafter, He lived unto God. Have you not been told that He will come back again but when He comes back He will have no concern with sin, when He appears, He will appear for those who were waiting for Him. It does not mean that He is not the one. He is the one. He had completed His old assignment. Now is new heaven and new earth. He comes with a new name, new teachings for old things have passed away, behold everything is new.
5.14 The old covenant of salvation is replaced with righteousness and service to God
Remember during the generation of Abraham, circumcision was the only sign of salvation. After Abraham, at the time of Moses, the sign of salvation was sanctification by sacrifice or presentation of children at the altar. At the time of John the Baptist it was the covenant of baptism for repentance. The covenant of our Lord Jesus Christ was that of baptism of the Holy Spirit. With the disciples it was the baptism of forgiveness, whoever confessed his sins was baptised hence the injunction: whoever sins you forgive he is forgiven and whoever sins is retained, it is retained. But the master came with the baptism of fire and the Holy Spirit. That was why Philip asked the Ethiopian eunuch: "understandeth thou what thou readeth?" and he said “I do not except someone should guide me.”
And Philip went up into the chariot and started revealing Christ to him until they came to a certain water and the eunuch said: " behold here is water: what doth hinder me to be baptised?" And Philip said “if you believe with all your heart, you may”, and he said “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God”. Thereafter they both went down into water and the eunuch was baptised after, thereafter both parted each his own way. Since he believed, he was baptised, that was in those days. Whether he went back to his sins, Philip was not concerned. After baptism, all sins were remitted.
But now that the new heaven and the new earth have come down in which righteousness reigns supreme what happens? It is that righteousness which is brought to you here in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star and so whatever you do, whether you are a miracle worker, or a visioner or a preacher or a healer if you have no righteousness, you are wasting your time. Realise that many people go to the church to be healed of their ailments and to be provided with money and other things but this is the era of righteousness, when all are expected to serve Him day and night.
5.15 In God's new kingdom services are rendered free
Must God alone continue to bestow His blessings on us; does it mean that human beings do not have the time to serve him in return? Any free services rendered gratis to people whether preaching or healing, constitute righteousness and that is this kingdom. Let us do to God all what we are capable of doing, because this is the time to serve God. There are so many people who feel that Brotherhood should pay for all services rendered. That is why priests from other faiths continue to ask all sorts of persons such as healers, visioners, preachers, students, Christ Servants and others, how much they are paid for the services they render. When they reply that they are not paid, they would feel that they could not have rendered any service without salary because they are paid salaries and allowances as well as accommodation in their own churches. Hence they chose to continue to preach where they are. Remember, that this act shows that you are in the old world. They are also surprised to hear that all the lunatics cured in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star are not charged but rather they are fed and clothed in addition to curing them. That is what happens in the new kingdom of God. That is the real worship of God, an indication of the kingdom you have been waiting for. Now you have witnessed what no man has ever seen or heard of. You preach to people free of charge, give visions, heal the sick, work for people gratis and in addition give them money and clothings, because we are serving our Creator and our Preserver. Here, we do not worship man, or money, clothes or any other thing but we worship God who created heaven and earth and the fullness thereof. This is the ripe time to serve Him. Let's take a look at the golden text again.
Golden text: Revelation: 14:7
"Saying with a loud voice. Fear God and give glory to Him; for the hour of His judgement has come: and worship Him who made heaven and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of water.”
5.16 This is the time for total service to our God
Brethren, have you given thought to the text above? That is what I am telling you. We do not. worship any other thing, I worship God, you should worship God, all of us should worship God, the Creator of heaven and earth, and the waters and all the other creations.
I neither do nor fear any person, neither do I worship nor honour any other person except God who created heaven and earth. All of us fear Him, worship and serve Him. And so do not fear or worship or serve any other person except Jehovah God and His Christ. This is the time of His judgement. Do you not see that New Heaven and New Earth where Jehovah God and His Christ reign, have you not noticed that the old earth has passed away for everything is now new? Jehovah God and His Christ are now on earth, bow down and worship them, serve them, do not charge for any service, seek no reward from any man, serve Him and Him alone.
It is said judgement will start in the house of God. We are churches, it is for our own good that angels are sounding notes of warning to us. This is not the time to beg God for children, for money or for any other material things. This is the time we should seek for our own salvation, we should devote our time in His services, to worship Him, walk with Him, praise Him and glorify Him on earth. This explains why you should not serve any man except your God who created you, who preserves you, who bestows all His manifold blessings on you. We should serve Him and Him only. This then means that you should not take liberty in idling about or committing vices. Are you a prophet, or a student or a visioner, or a chorister, whoever and whatever you are, stay where you are and render your services to your Creator and Preserver.
5.17 Inform Government, Churches
The time of His judgement is very ripe, therefore, go and tell the governments and the pillars in governments, tell all church denominations, tell soothsayers and necromancers and people of all walks of life that it is high time that they kneel down to worship God and also serve Him who created them. For this is the time of His judgement.
It is said that the Creator of Heaven and earth, the one who created human beings and animals, fishes and birds, trees and rocks, rivers, oceans and abyss has descended to judge the world. He will judge human beings, animals, fishes, birds and all other creations of God, and also the governments, religions, and other institutions of the world. It is for your own good that this timely warning is given. This warning will be preached throughout the entire world for many years before the end comes. That is what you should now preach, and this does not relate to church action, or town business, it is the business of God. Do not tell people to come to Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. Break the church barrier and preach to all, irrespective of where they belong, that they should worship God and serve Him. Tell all men, tell sinners, tell Lucifer, tell the native doctors and others that this is not the time to kill, steal and fornicate. Each and every one of us should keep ourselves holy as much as we can. This is not the time for you to place condition for God before you worship and serve Him.
Do you now realize why it is said that you all are workers and so you should go into the field to serve God? Go into the field telling people that the time for the judgement of God is at hand, that they should forget about their church affiliations but walk according to the directions of God. Forget about segregation and creating dichotomy between men and women, refrain from hatred and pomposity and concentrate in worshipping and serving God.
5.18 Those who will inherit the new kingdom
Remember what the scripture says: “when the owner of the field will come what will happen to those wicked workers”, it is said. He will destroy all of them and then “He will give the Kingdom to the righteous nation”. Now there is no struggle for the Kingdom. The Kingdom will be given to those who will bear good fruits, those who comply with the instructions of our Lord Jesus Christ, those who will worship Him and serve Him and refrain from sin, they will inherit this New Kingdom.
Some people say they will pay tithe to the Father. And to whom does the nine-tenth belong? Everything belongs to the Father. Some people say when they are given children, they will use one as tithe to God. What about you, to whom do you belong? The owner of the field has arrived. He has therefore taken over everything. Everything is under His control. The governments, the religions, the economies, the universities, all should now surrender and serve Him. It has been said when everything is consummated, the child into whose hands everything was subdued will handover all these things to the Father so that in all things God alone would be glorified. No other person exists in this world except Jehovah God and His Christ. You have to serve God and do not ask for any reward. Worship and serve God who created both heaven and earth, so that you pass into the New Kingdom. Have you ever seen a man from Adam to Christ who is never angry? He has never frowned. He is never fastidious. He regards every person in the same way. He does not discriminate. He does not quarrel. He does not impute sins on us but He loves us and bestows on us all His blessings. I am not instrumental to this because I am a man and liable to human frailties. If therefore, I had behaved as a man, I would have hated you, or beaten you up or done any such things. If I were God I would have by now driven all of you away, because in spite of all the teachings given you, you are still in romance with your old ways of life. But the Father continues to do His work. You cannot attribute this to man, this is far greater than the whole wide world.
5.19 The Father is directly in charge of every activity in the world
It is common knowledge that you cannot preach or prepare sermons. The Father gives you new lessons to preach and sets aside whatever you had prepared. Sometimes you decide to stay at home on a certain evening, but you will be surprised that before 7 p.m. you are already in the bethel and end up spending the night there. Most of you, if you were given the chance, would have withdrawn from Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, but you cannot because you are controlled by the Father. We have no thoughts of our own. It is God who plans for us. Why the world is at the position of collapse is that God has taken control over everything. Right now you have no thoughts of your own, no plan of your own, you have to submit completely to Him. What is left for you now is for you to kneel down and worship your God and serve Him. In your house, office, in the market place, worship Him in spirit and in truth.
Brethren, it is not my intention to be tedious unto you, one stroke of the cane is sufficient for the wise. Let those who have ears hear the word of God. May God bless His holy words. A-men.
THANK YOU FATHER
