Everlasting Gospel
First lesson: Luke 4:22-23
“And all bear him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said. Is not this Joseph's son? And he said unto them. Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country.”
Second lesson: Matthew 17:20-21.
“And Jesus said unto them. Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, if ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain. Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.”
Golden text: Luke 5:34-35
“And he said unto them, can ye make the children of the bride chamber fast,
While the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.”
3.1 Food: man's greatest foe
Brethren, the three main texts confirm the reason why you are unable to appreciate or acknowledge the glory of God revealed in the fold. Brother Paul said that, when he was a child, he behaved like a child; but when he became a man, he put away the things that had to do with childhood. We have been repeatedly informed that our spirit does not come from this earth, but from God, and that it is the Holy Spirit that teaches us how to seek and dwell in righteousness.
It has been identified that food constitutes man's greatest foe. Food and drink are the most prominent obstacles to man's spiritual life. Now is not the time to continue to pamper you with soft gospels. The real obstacle that prevents you from gaining the kingdom of God must be laid bare before you. A local adage has it that, there is no point in trying to cover the nakedness of a cow that has given birth in the market square. Food is the spirit's greatest enemy. You consider food indispensable for even an hour. Man is never tired of drinking, eating, smoking and snuffing whatever comes his way.
The words that I speak come directly from God. I am not repeating what someone else had spoken but hitting the nail directly on the head so that you would know your real enemy and be cautious. This is in fulfillment of what was written down in the scriptures that :
“Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, Is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come.
He. shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you,” (John 16 : 13 - 14).
Our Lord Jesus Christ spoke in parables, while my duty is to expatiate on and reveal to you the significance of all the parables. It is- pertinent that new wine should be put in a new wine skin. You now represent the new wine skin into which the new wine, which is the new teaching is put.
3.2 I am the blessing of God to you
I am most grateful to God for making it possible for me to come down because man would have continued to remain in ignorance till doomsday. The possibility of man overcoming his greatest enemy which is food, would not have been there. The reason why this point is true, is that, nobody would have been able to diagnose the real problem of man, let alone discovering food as his outstanding foe. No man would have been able to do away with food because such a person would have paid dearly for it. Our Lord Jesus Christ, being fully aware of man's ignorance in this matter, told the Samaritan woman that, they worshipped what they did not know. According to the woman their parents worshipped on the mount but Christ revealed to her that. He and His disciples worshipped what they knew, for salvation was of the Jews. He added that the time would come when God would neither be worshipped on the mount nor in Jerusalem. That, the true worshippers of God shall worship Him in spirit and in truth.
Worshipping God in spirit and in truth entails sanctifying yourself and maintaining such sanctity. The sanctification does not consist of the food you eat. Because of this, you are enjoined to desist from eating all types of things you consider as food. This is because such things eaten as food defile you and render you spiritually worthless and even dead.
God dislikes a glutton. The truth is that, the Being that is in you is greater than the food you eat. He is the chief health-giver and great provider of every nutrient meant for the nourishment of the human system.
Anybody who allows God to establish His supremacy in him would not have either medical or economic problems. He is known as wonderful God and as such, performs His things in wonderful ways. Nobody would have been saved without this revelation. A great many people have perished as a result of excessive consumption of food.
3.3 Food, most deadly enemy of man
Food so disorganizes and distorts the chemistry of the human body that it easily leads to the destruction of a person. When a person has been destroyed by food, accusing fingers are rather pointed at juju, witches, wizards and other similar delusions. These accusations are false. The Holy Spirit is being rendered homeless when you overload the body with food or carnality. Everybody must mortify the flesh in order to give the Holy Spirit His right of place in him. It is most unfortunate that man is wholeheartedly given to food to a point of worshipping it.
What the flesh abhors is what the spirit desires; and that which the flesh hates, the spirit cherishes, which is the eternal life. For instance, if a man is starved by his fellow brother, the man who is starved would go to any extent to eliminate his fellow brother, all because of food. It is for your own good to starve or be starved. You are at your best spiritually when you have not taken food. Food, therefore, constitutes man's last enemy meant for destruction. It is not my intention that you should have any problem. This is why I have left no stone unturned in revealing this truth to you on how to worship God. Therefore, whoever perishes has his blood upon him. It is impossible for food to lead you into the kingdom of God.
3.4 African man likes food too much
The situation is even more pathetic with the Africans. It is an indisputable fact that every ceremony organised by the Africans ends with food. Often, such ceremony begins and ends with food. The nature of food referred to is not some light or simple dishes but basins of foo-foo, drums and kegs of wine, pots of meat and so on. A person would gluttonously eat and drink to the point of death. It is often a shameful sight when one person drinks so much that his facial appearance becomes entirely and dramatically altered. The attitude of the Africans towards food consumption is directly opposite to that of the whites. The whites are noted for modesty. They eat to live and not live to eat. The blacks take delight in extremities in all that they do. The black man should be aware that this is the time for him to reverse his steps and head towards God, by moderately reorganizing his mode of eating. Too much of food disorganizes your digestive system and poisons your system. You would definitely be moved with pity when you witness the sight of a drunkard or glutton urinating. Frequently you see drunkards pass out urine for noticeable long period, making grimaces with pitiful faces as though in agony.
Human beings have led such gluttonous and ungodly lives since the time of Adam and Eve. It was not until the advent of our Lord Jesus Christ that. He introduced to mankind the antidote for food. Fasting and prayer works magic and forms the only ways which can bring man closer to God. This is the only way God can move into our lives. Whenever you surrender yourself completely to God, you would witness a change in your entire life. You would feel very secured: free from pains, illness and death. It is only under such situation that God will dwell in you and transform you to become spiritually solid as rock. It is necessary that you separate yourself from food and eat very modestly.
3.5 Food, the source of problems and death
The main causes of problems and death of all men are traceable to food. We are therefore, the architects of our problems. To the medical scientist, food is health and life. I completely disagree with this assertion. What rather constitutes health is the Spirit, which requires abstinence from food. The real cause of lack of enough blood (anaemia) in a patient is a 'poisonous substance' taken into the body called food. This knowledge had, from the time of Adam eluded the whole world. This accounts for the statement of our Lord Jesus Christ as recorded in John 16 : 12 - 13:
“I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the spirit of truth. Is come, he . will guide into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.”
Christ could not at that time declare this truth because if He had dared, the kings and elders would have demanded for His head. There are many people at this moment who cannot stay without food for even an hour.
My duty is to teach and lead the world far from the things that constitute stumbling block to mankind. It has now reached a state of compulsion. You must do it for it is the New World Order. There is a local adage that, the food that a sick man is so interested in, finally leads him to his grave. It is also said that, it is the monkey's mouth that killed it. It is usual to see a man spend one or more hours at table. It is also common to find dining tables filled with different dishes, drinks and other assorted food items. Candidly, I feel so concerned, and it is indeed pitiful to watch a man eat and sweat profusely. It is as a result of God's immense love for us that he has decided to unfold this great truth. There are certain times that God deliberately allows us to starve for self-mortification. It is at such a time that people complain of not having appetite for food. Let our first lesson be read again.
First lesson: Luke 4: 22-23.
“And all bear him witness and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said. Is not this Joseph's son? And he said unto them, ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country.”
3.6 Man's greatest obstacle
The things that constitute man's cardinal problems are food and clothing. Man toils daily from dawn to dusk solely for the sake of food and clothes. This restlessness has robbed man of the time to serve God. These twin problems have also not allowed man to have peace, love and prosperity. A man would be ready to fight and kill for the sake of food and clothing. These things are unprofitable.
Spiritual chorus;
0' flesh leave me alone, for your time is over.
It is maintained that, life is more precious than food and health is greater than clothing. Food and clothing are empty and of no significance to the body. Our Ethiopian brother, is the person who has practised this gospel and found it best for man. An ordinary man considers abstinence from food as a punishment. However, the taste of the pudding is in the eating. Abstinence from food forms the new tradition and order in the kingdom. Fasting itself is a form of medication. Anybody who completely surrenders' himself to God will not have any problem and such is the type of person who is beyond human destruction.
A certain community whose inhabitants have life expectancy of between three hundred and five hundred years has been discovered in the Asian Continent. A research that was carried out revealed that these people maintain a very austere feeding habit and all are fruitarians. These are the kind of people who form a suitable habitation for the Holy Spirit. It is this situation that ensures a balanced, tranquil and joyful mind devoid of all forms of impediment.
3.7 The word is our food
We are not under any law but under love. Love is without coercion or force. God operates limitless freedom. Whoever finds it necessary should put this gospel into practice and he would be happy he did. We are moving over to an era where people will attach little or no importance to food. I have undertaken to reveal to you all that the Father has given to me and will no longer call you servants but friends, if you comply with all of them.
Now we live according to the prompting of the spirit, but not of the flesh. Put differently, we do not live by food, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. You also are warned to beware of covetousness for there is no man whose life is dependent on his possessions. Your life, therefore, does not consist in food, money, estates or any of the mundane things, but in God and His words. It is really difficult to impart the word of God to another person. It is purely an individual experience.
There are lot of people who would not take this kind of gospel kindly and would be ready to take up arms against such a preacher. This gospel is meant for the children of God. It was for this reason that our Lord Jesus Christ advised that, a man should not place his pearl before swine. This gospel is delivered for your consumption because you are the children of God. The practice of vegetarianism, fruitarianism, celibacy or righteousness is not only meant for the designated children of God. Afterall, all of us are children of God so long as we comply with His, injunctions. The elects of God are found everywhere in the whole world. This set of people do not drink, smoker or snuff and do not eat flesh. They abhor anything that defiles the body. In the nearest future, we will experience a very stable and peaceful life, free from pains and every form of problems.
3.8 The disadvantages of food and drink
It has been revealed to you that nothing will be impossible if you pray steadfastly and fast persistently. The disciples of Christ could not heal a certain man who was suffering from epilepsy because they were in flesh. They were filled with carnality and food in the same way that you are today. But to the amazement of the disciples, when the same patient was taken to the Lord, He performed the miracle. The Lord referred to them as men of little faith. The disciples ate and drank like every other person at that time and as you also do today. For that reason, they could not heal the slightest headache.
Let our second lesson be read.
Second lesson: Matthew 17:20- 21.
“And Jesus said unto them. Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you. If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain. Remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.”
Any one who eats plenty of food is spiritually incapacitated. Man has continuously remained faithless and blind because of food. The prevailing situation is that people move from one healing home to another seeking help and so on. While in such places, the officer in charge would always ask them to fast and pray. Some of them are asked to fast for one day or week or observe dry fasting for a couple of days.
A lot of you are misled in the course of going about in search of vision. What stops you from observing fasting in your house? Often, a visioner would ask you to observe some days of fasting after which you are healed of your illness. The visioner then assumes the glory which should be given to God. For what reason should you thank a man? Was it man that healed you? You are enjoined to accord God His due glory. We would be exempted from judgement if we obey God, and lead normal life as directed by Him. Food is insignificant and should not be given priority in our lives. You should take a little water when you are thirsty. The Holy Spirit will abide in you, if you keep your body holy, and would also give you everlasting life. He implores you to be as holy as He is, for no unholy thing abides with Him.
This is the time for us to get set for the approaching century which is 2000 AD. This preparation would only be complete when you have stopped drinking, snuffing smoking, fornicating, medication, idolatry and other sinful acts. Most importantly, you should exhibit modesty in your passion for food and all will be well with you. It is our duty to avoid disgraceful acts if we refer to ourselves as men of God. A man of God is neither flamboyant in his mode of dressing gluttonous nor exhibits extremities in his passion.
The true situation is that, a man of God is simple, humble, honest and obedient; and does not do anything ungodly. We are the temple of God on whose behalf Christ died. We are also His husbandry and vessels. It behoves us therefore, to lead a holy life. It is said that, everything is holy to those who are holy, while a filthy mind brings forth what is unholy, and such a person is an unbeliever. As you had before led abominable life according to the promptings of the flesh, it is now time for you to turn a new leaf in order to be given the glorious crown. What is now required is holiness. A time will come when everybody will lead a decent and holy life that is devoid of sinfulness or carnality.
3.9 An exemplary/behaviour
We were told that the Ethiopian brother was held, tied hands and legs and thrown into a sea. But when those who perpetrated the act got home, to their greatest surprise, they saw him with a group of people preaching to them. Such is the type of person filled with the Holy Spirit. On another occasion, he went out when it was raining, but no drop of rain touched him. This is a brother who scarcely eats or drinks. He does not put on gorgeous attire and has no money. He does not board a vehicle. He does his journeys on foot no matter the distance. This is possible because he lives in spirit and has completely surrendered himself to the Father. The City of Rome was not built in a day. It is a gradual process, and I fervently believe, it will eventually be accomplished. Let our golden text be read again.
Golden text: Luke 5: 34 - 35.
“And he said unto them, can ye make the children of the bride chamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.”
3.10 The significance of prayer and fasting
One of our spiritual choruses reveals that those that search for Him in spirit would always find Him for He works in spirit. The most recondite of all wisdom in the kingdom is embedded in fasting and prayer. Everybody has a share in the kingdom. But in order to grasp it, you have to be in constant fasting and prayer. There is nothing too great for fasting and prayer to accomplish. Fasting is the beginning of the mortification of the flesh and many more things would be accomplished when prayer is added to it. You are bound to derail from the path of righteousness if you do not fast and pray. Anybody who searches for God should do so through fasting and prayer. Whatever you desire, be it the Holy Spirit, God, wealth or good health should only be sought through fasting and prayer. It is quite simple and very ,good for a man to eat, say one banana or one maize a day. This quantity is sufficient for the body and spirit. For that reason, you should not regard fasting as a punitive measure.
There was an instance when a certain brother from Eket in Akwa Ibom State of Nigeria, fasted for a period of forty days and nights, praying to God to reveal Himself to him. And God actually hearkened to his plea. Later on, the Brother came across his former bishop when he travelled to America. He asked the bishop if he was aware that God was now on earth. The bishop argued that such a claim was false and blasphemous. He gave the bishop a seat and with the Bible, gradually revealed the truth to him.
3.11 Fasting and prayer: the most effective weapons
I am now disclosing to you that those who operate prayer houses and healing homes should employ fasting and prayer as their weapons. A great many people commplain of not seeing the Father in their dreams. The question is, does the flesh have eyes? After being overfed, you become very heavy and lie down as a lifeless log of wood. How then would it be possible for you to see or hear the Father in such a condition? In such a pitiable condition, you are lifeless and without spirit. It is said that those who are of Christ have mortified the flesh and its lust. It would be an unfortunate and shameful thing for the on-coming .people to understand Brotherhood of the Cross and Star more than those of you who have already been here for a long time.
Among all the prophets and great men of old, only John the Baptist ate natural food. His food consisted of raw honey and locust beans. This is the time for us to experiment on this gospel.
Let us put this gospel into practice in order that we would be filled with the Holy Spirit. There are a lot of you here who do not fast even for one hour. This is why you are ignorant, powerless, and plagued with numerous problems. Above all, you have not been able to have God's consciousness. This reveals that you are seeking for Him in the flesh. It should be brought to your understanding that, this is not the time to search for God in the flesh for you would certainly not find Him.
You should endeavour to desist from going to people for prayer, vision and so on. You are endowed with the same power to pray and heal. All you need do is to fast and pray fervently, and completely surrender yourself to Him. If you comply with this injunction, it would mean you would no longer cry, lament, suffer lack and affliction in any way. You should fast and pray in order to witness the light of God in you.
There has never been any other way of seeing God or meeting with Him other than fasting and prayer. Prayer and fasting have, from the beginning, been the sources of tapping power from God or communing with Him. You should first of all fast and pray in whatever you intend to embark on, be it trading, farming, schooling or marriage. Commit it to God, and unfailingly. He would come to your aid. Those who attempt to practise this gospel will surely testify of its efficacy. You are enjoined to desist from asking the Father or any other person for prayer, holy oil, vision or anything else. All these things are transitory. What you are implored to do, is to fast and pray.
3.12 Fasting and prayer will fasten you with the Father even when you do not see him physically.
I am not supposed to engage in prolonged sermons by this time. I have since completed my work. Now is the time to practise these gospels. Soon you will not have direct access to me. This is why all my gospels will be printed and circulated to all to read and have life. Once you fast and pray, the Holy Spirit will dwell in you and teach you the things to do. No man will this time teach you to be kind and benevolent, remit your tithes, and be diligent in God's services. You may have misplaced your property in the house or elsewhere; then through fasting and prayer, the Father can reveal to you where the thing is. By fasting and praying, you will be able to have your prayer answered instantly. You should observe fasting and prayer to and back from your journey. Begin and end whatever you embark on with fasting and prayer. You are not expected to offer the type of prayer the Pharisees were known for. Always talk to your God in fasting. Fasting is meant to build up your body and the spirit to enable you accomplish difficult tasks.
In this Kingdom, fasting and prayer is observed every Thursday from 6:00am to 6:00pm, also dry fasting is observed for three days (72 hours) three times in a year; at Easter, in August and December every year. During the dry fasting no food or water is taken.
You should fast at other times also as the Holy Spirit directs according to the instruction I have given you in this sermon. You are being advised to fast as above, and other Pentecostal periods. All these fasting are for the good of your body and spirit.
3.13 The importance of fasting and prayer
Fasting and prayer are twin sisters. A man who abides in spirit has no need for food. Food is poisonous to our body health and spirit. Initially Adam and Eve had no clothes on them and only noticed their nudity the day they ate the forbidden fruit. Since then they have continued to labour in order to provide themselves with food and clothes. As a result man has suffered a great deal. We should have the knowledge that our body is more precious than clothes, and our health greater than meat. We should realise that God has come down to dwell with us. We make up the race of God and should worship Him in spirit and in truth, to enable the Holy Spirit fully abide in us.
I am not asking you to embark on hunger strike but to moderate your eating habit. You should live by the word of God and not on food. Abide in love, peace, truth and godliness and not in money, estate, car, clothing and the rest of the mundane things. We would be able to heal the sick raise the dead and perform other wonderful things if we live in accordance with the dictates of the spirit. Undoubtedly at this point it is believed that you have got the accurate knowledge of truth. Your thinking and behaviour should probably be re-adjusted and you now have peace. So you can also perform great things. The little children in our midst who are leaders of tomorrow will greatly assimilate this gospel. They would bring the magnificence and power of God into fruition because of the spirit of God in them.
3.14 Moral decadence in the world
The whites are clearly responsible for the present corruption in the whole world. The current global economic and cultural trends are manifestations of the activities of the whites all over the world. Women have lost their pride and dignity as a result of their ungodly activities and mode of dressing. Their male counterparts are not an exception. They are seen everywhere in three-piece suit even in the hot tropical climate of Africa, and most disgracefully put on earrings, bangles, and necklaces as the women do. Any ship or canoe loaded beyond its capacity will surely sink. We are God's vehicles. We have over loaded ourselves with ungodly behaviour and habit. We are now sinking.
Brethren, a stroke of cane is sufficient for the wise. Let he who has an ear, let him hear, what the Holy Spirit has imparted to the whole world. May God bless His holy words.
THANK YOU FATHER.
