    THE UNIVERSAL LEADER IS BORN OF A WOMAN

    TEXT: REVELATION 12: 1- END. My intention is to reveal the mysteries of Jehovah God and His Christ to you. I also intend to reveal the Second Advent of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the one who has brought salvation to humanity thereby saving them from ruin. 3.1 No being will descend from the sky to live on earth The Bible says, "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul" (Genesis 2:7). It would have been possible for God to cause Adam to descend from the sky but He did not. Since the creation of the world, never has any human being descended from the skies into the world. God created the first man Adam, "of the dust of the ground". Apart from Adam, all human beings are born through the wombs of women. You are all aware of the biblical fact that Eve was the first mother on earth. It was well within God's capability to cause her to descend from the skies but He instead created her from Adam's rib. “And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man " (Genesis 2:2I-22). This again demonstrates the fact that at no time has any human being flown down from the skies to the earth like a bird. If such a situation were to occur, where would the person land? Before Moses was born, his mother was pregnant for nine months. Numerous prophecies preceded his birth. One of them was "This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear." (Acts: 7:37, Deuteronomy I8:I5). The massacre of innocent children by the Pharaoh did not affect Moses. This is the story of Moses' birth as told in Exodus 2:2-10 “And the women conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months. And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink. And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him. And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river,' and her maidens walked along by the river's side; and when she saw the ark among the/lags, she sent her maid to fetch it. And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said. This is one of the Hebrews' children. Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee? And Pharaoh's daughter said to her. Go. And the maid went and called the child's mother. And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her. Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the woman took the child, and nursed it. And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said. Because I drew him out of the water.” The birth of our Lord Jesus Christ as described in Matthew I:22- 25, fulfilled earlier prophecies in Isaiah 7:I4. “Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is. God with us. Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.” At a time when David and other patriarchs were not yet born, there were prophecies about Our Lord Jesus Christ. The phrase "God with us", means that Our Lord Jesus Christ was God Himself. To announce that Mary would deliver God would have sounded outrageous and so there was need to camouflage. But the truth remains that Our Lord Jesus Christ was the Almighty God Himself. As a sane person cannot go out naked, in the same way God cannot appear naked. God must cover Himself with human flesh so that He may not be easily identified. Note that the people were confused because the prophecy said: "Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel". This was the vision Mary had during her ministration in the temple: “And the angel came in unto her, and said. Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shall conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shall call his name JESUS” (Luke I:28-3I). Mary had taken a vow of a Nazarite (Numbers 6:2-8), to separate herself unto the LORD and served in the temple from a very early age. God revealed Himself to her at the age of seven. It was during her service years that an angel spoke to her about the birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ. If Mary conceived and gave birth to God, who do you think will descend from the sky? If Moses who was the brother of Aaron was born of a woman, how do you expect anyone else to emerge from the sky? It is a simple thing for a host of people to descend from the sky, but would the inhabitants of the earth not be terrified? 3.2 Man must be born Being that the earth is partitioned into continents, countries, families and households, if someone was to descend from the sky, to which country or family would he/she belong? In the spiritual realm, human beings are like flames of fire. God created the womb as a catharsis for angels, humans and God Himself to pass into the world. Passing through the womb of a woman is a natural pattern, which angels, spirits, human beings and God Himself must adhere to. Man represents heaven and woman represents earth. Therefore, everyone has to pass through a man into a woman to be born onto the earth plane so that God may be glorified. Just as Eve passed through Adam, God can cause a man to give birth. But if that happens, what will be the glory of a woman? A person who descends from the sky would not want to take instructions from the inhabitants of the earth. God in His infinite wisdom provides parents for every human being to obey and respect, Acts 1:9-11 “And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, He was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven.” 3.3. Stop looking to the skies The above passage has confused the whole world. "In like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven" means He will come back in human form. The world interprets it to mean that as He was taken into the sky. He will come down from the sky. It does appear to me that the inhabitants of the world have ears but do not hear. It is for this reason that I want to expatiate on the theme of our discourse that the one to rule all nations is born of a woman. Two angels have borne eloquent testimonies to the fact that Our Lord Jesus Christ will come back in human form. We have also established that there is no other way for a human being to manifest on earth except through the womb of a woman. Besides, who can withstand a spirit and which spirit can tolerate you? I have not added to nor subtracted from the scriptures. I want to make it quite clear to you that should there be any person still looking at the sky for anyone to descend from the sky, such a person is wasting his/her time because until doomsday, no one will descend from the sky to leave with men on earth. What did the prophets say about a virgin giving birth, which came to pass? Luke 2:5-9 “To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.” Was the child that Mary gave birth to, who brought salvation to humankind, saved us from our ruins and took dominion over death and Hades not the one called JESUS?. Who was crucified on the cross and on the third day resurrected? Was that not the child born as Jesus? Have you the capability to resurrect? Was Our Lord Jesus Christ the only child that Mary had? Just as eggs are in grades and some are even rotten, not every human being is the same. The Jews were confused because they knew that the child Jesus was born of a woman. That was why they reasoned thus: "Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is" ( John 7:27). When Adam disobeyed God and fell short of God's glory, he pleaded to return to God. God told Adam that unless a holy and precious blood was shed. He would not return to man and that the signs of His return would be gold, myrrh and frankincense. During the advent of Our Lord Jesus Christ, these signs were witnessed, confirming also that He was God come down. He is the God who alone has the power to create human beings. Who else has power to create humans? Can angels do it? When Adam and Eve defiled themselves by eating of the forbidden fruit (committing fornication). God forsook them and they were driven out of the Garden of Eden. It was difficult for them to atone for their sins. Blood of sheep, cows and other animals were used for atonement to no effect. As already indicated. God promised to return to humankind when a holy and precious blood was shed, and the signs of His return would be gold, myrrh and frankincense. In fulfillment of the scriptures (Exodus I2:46; Numbers 9:I2; Psalm 34:20 and Zechariah I2:I0), He was the one whose bone would not be broken. “But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs: But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water. And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knowetb that he saith true, that ye might believe. For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken. And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced” (John I9:33-37). The water, blood and spirit that went out of His body were further proof of His deity. (1st John 5:8). Since creation, who has been able to accomplish the sort of work Our Lord Jesus Christ did? Among Melchizedek, Moses, Elijah, Enoch and all the other patriarchs, who was able to do what Our Lord Jesus Christ did? Our Lord Jesus Christ said, “Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father. There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings “ ( John I0:I7-I9). 3.4 God cannot die It is impossible for anyone to kill God. He laid down His life of His own volition. While on the cross, Our Lord Jesus Christ said, "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost" (Luke 23:46). In other words, He surrendered His spirit unto the Father. What was actually nailed on the cross were the sins of the whole world. After three days and three nights, the spirit returned to the body and Our Lord Jesus Christ continues to exist forever. People who have not reached the accurate knowledge of the truth erroneously claim that Our Lord Jesus Christ was taken up to heaven to sit on the right hand of the Father. If you scan the firmament, you will not find a dwelling place there. The ascension of Our Lord Jesus Christ into the skies could be likened to someone boarding a plane from one destination to another. The person may decide to make his/her return journey by some other means of transport. Does the fact that the person has chosen not to return by air mean he/she did not return? Would you claim that Pilate or the Jews killed Our Lord Jesus Christ? It was the sins of the whole world that hung on the cross and not Our Lord Jesus Christ. After His death, the sins of humankind were atoned for, to make humankind perfect and undefiled, enabling the Christ to indwell their bodies, which is the temple of the most high God. The same sin, which defiled your bodies and prevented God from dwelling in you, is what you have gone back to. When you proclaim at the top of your voices that Olumba Olumba Obu is God, I know that some of you are deceivers because I know your thoughts, movements and deeds. "Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us " (John I4:8). Which is to say, Philip regarded Our Lord Jesus Christ as an ordinary human being. When you shout "wonderful Leader" at the top of your voice, my advice is that you should be silent because you do not know the Being you are dealing with. I would rather you did not bother about who I am but practice my teachings in order to receive salvation. Do not assign me titles. I am not a prophet. I am not Moses, Elijah or Our Lord Jesus Christ. I am the Supernatural Teacher. If you put my teachings into practice, it will become clearer to you who I am. My teachings are supernatural and surpass all the wisdom in the world put together. Were you to humble yourselves and practise my teachings, you would have found yourself advanced beyond your wildest imaginations. John 14:8-11 “Philip saith unto him. Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time -with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then. Shew us the Father? Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.” Do you really understand the above reference? Philip was with Our Lord Jesus Christ all the time yet he asked to be shown the Father. In reply, Our Lord Jesus Christ made it known to Philip that the question was unnecessary because He was one with the Father and the Father did whatever He was doing. In other words, Our Lord Jesus Christ is God Himself. I have told you repeatedly that Our Lord Jesus Christ is the God who created heaven and earth. When you say in your prayers, "Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name" (Matthew 6:9), are you implying that God resides in the desert or constellation or some secret chambers? Our Lord Jesus Christ said clearly, "he that hath seen me hath seen the Father". John 3:11-13 “Verily, verily, I say unto thee. We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man "which is in heaven.” When I tell you that I am delivering my teachings from the highest heaven, you wonder at the statement. No person has ever come down from heaven except he/she who is from heaven and when he/she speaks, his/her voice can be heard everywhere in the universe. Matthew 17:2-6 “And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him. Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said. This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.” Who truly understands the mysteries in God's kingdom? The angel said to Mary the mother of Our Lord Jesus Christ. “The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God" (Luke I:35). Again, when Our Lord Jesus Christ was baptised, He went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him- And lo a voice from heaven, saying. This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased ( Matthew 3:I6-I7). 3.5 I am everywhere Is there any person who has not seen me spiritually and physically everywhere? Why do you continue to doubt when thousands and millions of you see me simultaneously and hear my voice distinctly? You have seen me in your dreams and many other situations. Some people opine that I cannot be an ordinary human being. Others claim that I am a member of several secret societies. Am I the only member of those secret societies? In Matthew I7:2-6 referred to above, who were those appearing? In the transfiguration, Moses, Elijah and Our Lord Jesus Christ appeared. In Matthew I6:28 Our Lord Jesus Christ said, "Verily I say unto you. There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom". At the time, the above was said, the disciples did not understand Him but after six days, at the transfiguration, it became clearer. Of the words of Our Lord Jesus Christ it is also said, “For verily I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled" (Matthew 5:I8). If He asks you to go forth that you will find two people, when you do, you will certainly find two people. If He says that it will rain at I6.00 hours, it is bound to rain at that time. All the words proceeding from His mouth must be fulfilled. "And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me. See thou do it not: I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy" (Revelation I9:I0). “And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in. And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house. The Master saith unto thee. Where is the guest chamber, where I shall eat the Passover with my disciples? And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready. And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the Passover” (Luke 22:I0-I3). On another occasion He said to His disciples, “Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me. And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he -will send them. All this -was done, that it might be fulfilled -which was spoken by the prophet, saying, Tell ye the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass. And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them” (Matthew” 2I:2-6). 3.6 the churches do not understand the bible Each time they found that whatever He had described to them, all His statements came to pass. It is a fact that the Bible has been translated into various dialects and languages and produced in numerous volumes. After the physical departure of Our Lord Jesus Christ and the belief that He has not reappeared, the testimonies in the Bible have been ignored. I would not go as far as saying that there is any church denomination that has practised the words of the Bible. Neither the Roman Catholics nor the Protestants have been able to interpret the words of the Bible talk less of practising the words of the Bible. No one for that matter has been able to interpret the Bible. Up till now, no one has known about the Bible real meanings. People read without understanding and some decide the best thing is to put it aside. Mathew:28:I8 “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.” Who is the being to whom all power in heaven and on earth is given? If all power in heaven and on earth belongs to Him, what power exists outside Him? No one besides Our Lord Jesus Christ understands what He says. John: 17:4-5 “I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. And now, 0 Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.” Interpret the above passage if you may. Who is this being? When the world was not yet created. Our Lord Jesus Christ was in existence. If He was "before the world was", who then is He? Are you confused with the nomenclature? Would you prefer Him to be called God? Is it because He is called Our Lord Jesus Christ that you are confused? "Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you" (Matthew 7:6). 3.7 Jesus Christ is here again He said, "And now, 0 Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was." Can another man's wife scratch your back down your waistline? Which other person could have accepted to come and die for your sake? What would have been the reason for such a person to come and die? What would have been his/her benefit? It is true that your behaviour towards others depends on your relationship with them. You do not behave the same way with your child as you do with your wife or biological brother. The way you behave with your spouse is different from the way you behave with your boyfriend or girlfriend. In some cases, your girlfriend may not be totally honest with you until you propose marriage and she knows where she stands with you. Also, men are crafty and always deceive women. Hebrews: 2:8-9 “Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him. But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.” Brethren, do you understand the above passage? When you run to trees, rocks and other inanimate things for help, none of those things can save you because all power in heaven and on earth is given to Our Lord Jesus Christ. Everything is under His control and there is no power anywhere else. There again, to whom can all power be given except the Son of Man? When you argue that you cannot worship man but that you want to worship the real God, go round the whole world and when you find the real God, worship Him/Her. Do note that it is a human being that God gives power to rule r all creations. The proof is below. Hebrews:1:5-6 “For unto which of the angels said he at any time. Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? And again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the -world, he saith, And let all the angels of God -worship him.” What type of being is this that "when he bringeth in the first begotten into the -world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him?'" Remember that Raphael and Michael are arch angels. Hell and Hades, stars, sun, moon, rain, fire, thunder and many others are angels. Yet, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the world, he saith. And let all the angels of God worship him". Who is this being that all angels must subject themselves and minister to? Is the being a tree, stone or human? It is time you re-examined your standpoint. Only one angel, Michael, was able to cast Lucifer from heaven into the bottomless pit. Angels outnumber humans in population. Wherever you congregate, millions of angels congregate with you. Consider this being whom all the angels in heaven and on earth must bow down to worship. Mathews I3:40- 43 “As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this -world. The Son of Man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be -wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.” Brethren, do you understand the above reference? Just as worldly governments have institutions, so it is in the spiritual realm. Angels are assigned by God to arrest and prosecute those who break the law and indulge in abominations. Imagine then what type of being it is that all angels obey, who can order the arrest or release of any person. Angels are so powerful that one angel is capable of destroying the whole world in a split second. Yet all angels in heaven and on earth are under the control of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Lucifer, whom you have heard about, is under arrest. That is why it is possible for you to walk about freely with no harm coming to you. All principalities have been brought under subjection. Even threats of wild animals to humans no longer exist because the power of the Holy Spirit has overwhelmed everything in the whole world. The view of the world about baptised members of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is that since they are so protected by the Holy Spirit personified, they will be overpowered when He dies. Remember when the King of Assyria sent a letter to King Hezekiah boasting about how he would destroy Israel and God would not save them? (2 Kings I8:29-37; 2 Kings I9:I-35). Only one angel was sent to destroy the whole Assyrian army. If just one angel could destroy the whole army, what do you think of the Being who at His coming all angels will worship? 3.8 Jesus Christ is God If you were yourself aware, you would not refer to Our Lord Jesus Christ as a human being. All the punishments and afflictions besetting the whole world result from blasphemies against Him. There is no doubt that Our Lord Jesus Christ is in appearance human, but He is the Almighty God. When He comes to the world, all angels must worship Him. At elections, many people contest to become head of government but only one person eventually wins. Even if the winner was your best friend, your relationship with him/her will change because he/she is now in a position of authority. It is not to say that he/she is the most intelligent person in the country but having been elected the head of government, he/she has to be duly respected throughout the tenure. If such power can be vested in a human being who can be tossed about by sickness or death, how much more the King of kings and Lord of lords who has power over things seen and unseen. When you think about this Being that all angels in heaven and earth must worship, it is very unwise to toy with or speak evil against such a being. Genesis: 1:26-29 “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them. Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.” 3.9 God gives man authority Who is the being given dominion over all created thing? Was it a tree or an angel? After God had given Adam dominion over all things, did He rescind His pronouncement even though Adam had disobeyed Him? Show proof from the Bible if you say God had at anytime withdrawn the authority He gave to man. God only punished man for his disobedience. He did not withdraw the authority given to Adam over all things. Genesis: 3:I7-I9 “And unto Adam he said. Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of-which I commanded thee, saying. Thou shall not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shall thou eat of it all the days of thy life; Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shall eat the herb of the field; In the sweat of thy face shall thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shall thou return.” Who do you say the Holy Spirit personified is? Some of you profess He is God and when asked to substantiate your claim you say your wife was barren and He made her fruitful. Some of you claim He is God because He healed your infirmities. If these are your reasons for claiming He is God, it begs the argument that if a necromancer healed you or performed any miracle, you would claim he/she is God. Because your claims are flimsy, people choose to stick to secret societies and other diabolical powers. "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul" (Genesis 2:7). 3.10 Adam died for three days The symbolism of breathing into his nostrils was that God entered into and inhabited the body. It is also said, "And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof (Genesis 2:2I). The "deep sleep" here means death. When he resurrected, the rib that was taken from him was used in creating Eve. It is the same spirit that indwelled Adam that caused Our Lord Jesus Christ to reincarnate as a quickening spirit. Also Our Lord Jesus Christ did say, "Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you" (St. John I6:7). Was that to say another person would be sent? Was the Comforter to come not Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself who needed to first go away in order to return? You always argue that you cannot revere any human being even if that person is your mother, father, a governor, president or whatever his/her station in life may be. Yet at your different employment you are under the authority of human beings. Although you claim you cannot worship any person, a human being is in a position to promote or punish you. Sometimes your promotion is withheld because you refuse to submit to the authority of human being. Is the world not presently filled with angels? Are you able to see these invisible beings? No matter how powerful an angel is, you can engage or dismiss the angel because it had been ordained that human beings must rule over angels, spirits and all other creations of God. 1 Peter: 2:I7 “Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.” 3.11 Honour and love all men The above passage clearly poses what all must do. What are the ramifications? What men are we expected to honour? This includes all human beings. A woman, a man, an old man, a thief, a soothsayer, an infirm are all human beings. When you claim not to worship man but to worship the real God, the fact is that man is very precious and must be honoured and respected. The requirement is to honour all men, which comprises all human beings. You are enjoined to love the brotherhood. What constitutes the brotherhood? Is it not human beings? You are asked to honour the king. Is the king not a human being? And when you are asked to fear God, is God not a human being? Revelation :5:1- 12 “And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice. Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. And one of the elders saith unto me. Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. And they sung a new song, saying. Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; Saying with a loud voice, worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.” 3.12 Christ new assignment Why is it that "no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon"? Is the book not the Bible that you have been reading everyday? The fact is that there is no angel or man of any race or colour who can open, read and practise its contents. To the Lamb '"they sung a new song, saying. Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation". The same Lord Jesus Christ has returned and you have no regard for Him. Note that there was silence in heaven and on earth when an angel asked, "Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?" John wept because there was no one to open the book and read the content but "one of the elders saith unto me. Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof." Only Our Lord Jesus Christ could do it. Revelation: 12:5 “And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne”. Ponder over the above passage and tell me who this "man child" is. Is he Moses, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob or John the Baptist? Compare the above passage to Matthew I.23 which says "Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is. God with us" (Isaiah 7:I4). If a virgin was to bear Our Lord Jesus Christ again, that would be a repetition. Also, the name Our Lord Jesus Christ is an old name. In Revelation I2:5 we are told that a woman, not a virgin this time around, shall bring "forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron". The confirmation of Our Lord Jesus Christ's assignment was as He stated, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised" (Luke 4:I8). The "man child" referred above is to rule all nations with a rod of iron. You are the Christ of God and are therefore anointed to go and preach the glory of God to the whole world. The fact is, the man-child is to rule all nations. The rod of iron signifies His staff of office and His kingship. He is the King of kings and Lord of lords. There are many lords and if you refer to Him as just a lord, an angel will chastise you. He is above all other lords and therefore the Lord of lords. If you refer to Our Lord Jesus Christ as simply "Jesus", an angel will chastise you because it is an insult and blasphemy. He is the King of kings and Lord of lords. The I44,000 "which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins, these are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the first fruits unto God and to the Lamb" (Revelation I4:4). They will rule under the King of kings. Revelation: 19:12 “His eyes were as aflame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.” Here is the evidence of the glory Our Lord Jesus Christ referred to in John I7:5. Does it mean that at His return He will go from house to house or city to city? He is the pillar of the church and maintains His position as the King of kings and Lord of lords. Remember that this man "child was caught up unto God, and to his throne". He does not go anywhere but remains on the throne to give His commands. If He physically goes about, then He is not the one. 3.13 The world Ruler is here Except the Father reveals this mystery to you, you will not comprehend its meaning. All human beings, spirits, all created and uncreated things, visible and invisible, are under His control. If you claim not to know Him, He certainly knows you because everything is under His control. He has come to rule over death and Hades and He is born of a woman. Have people of any race elected anybody as a paramount king of the world? The Africans have chiefs, traditional rulers and clan heads. In other parts of the world, they have kings and queens but there is no one person who rules the whole world. The man-child, born of a woman has come with a rod of iron to assume His reign on this whole earth. Why are unbelievers rich in material possessions while believers go about in tattered clothes? Priests claim that their rewards are in heaven. The difference is evident because Brotherhood of the Cross and Star members are wealthy. They are blessed with material things and are given the Holy Spirit. For this reason, people complain that we do not worship God in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. Brotherhood of the Cross and Star members are accused of attending Brotherhood for the purpose of acquiring wealth. There are some people who are of the opinion that only Beelzebub and the occult can give wealth. This is not true. All things belong to God. 3.14 You are lords and kings I say this to you, the glory you witness now is yet to manifest in its true and full perspective. When it manifests fully, you will realise the import of what Our Lord Jesus Christ meant when He prayed, "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven" ( Matthew 6:I0). Do you know that you are lords and kings? It is why people are scared of you wherever you go. All angels and spirits worship you. I have not yet imbued you with full powers so that you may not misuse the power. Bishops, governors, and Heads of governments even pay homage to traditional rulers and kings of this world, but their posts are temporary. The permanent posts are coming to you in the Kingdom. A stroke of the cane is sufficient for the wise. Let those who have ears hear, may God bless His holy words; Amen. THANK YOU FATHER
