WHAT IS STAR

First lesson: Matthew: 2:1-2 “Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him”. Second lesson Revelation: 22:16 “I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star”. Golden text: Revelation: 2: 26-28 “And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations. And he shall rule them with a rod of iron, as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. And I will give him the morning star”. 4.1 The great light You have been reading in the scriptures about a secret name. That secret name is the Star. The Star is Christ. The Star is the glory of God and, it is also the glory of Christ. The Star is the revelation of God. It is the hidden name to people in the world. The Star indicates the reign and the glory of Christ. The Star here does not refer to the whole constellation group above. The Star means the brightness of God and the power of His reign. The Star is the peace of the almighty God that governs the universe. There is no other monarch other than Christ, the Star. From His birth, the great light has been shining over His head. It is the only light that shines the whole world over. Therefore, it is not just enough for any person to be a Brotherhood only, or carry the Cross only. To be worthy children of the Kingdom of God we must be of the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. The Star indicates those who will rule and are ruling with Him. The ruler of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, is the Star. That is Christ and Christ is not alone. He is in the Father. Christ is the City of which we are told, no light is needed because, He shines there and, because the Son and Father also shine to eternity. The name, Star, is known to Christ alone and, not to any human being. We worship the Star, which is Christ and not the Cross, which exists in the world. The Star is the glory that reigns over the whole world. In His first coming, Christ passed through pains and tribulations. The primary aim of His second coming is to rule in glory. It is the glory indicative of His reign. He is coming to take up His Kingdom and rule. His Kingdom is down, now here on earth. The Star means Christ, His glory and that of His Father. He has arrived with the Father to live with men on earth. He comes in glory to rule the whole world, not to serve, suffer and die as He did in His first coming. 4.2 Every assignment, God has a new name. Each time the Almighty Father sends His Son out. He gives Him a new name. His disciples were also given different names. When He departed from the world. His disciples were called Christians. When He worked among men. He was called Jesus. When He asked His disciples, "Who do men say that I am," He was the Christ. He warned against their untimely calling Him that name and requested them to keep it a secret to themselves. God knows best why His Son should be given a new Name each time He is sent out. When you hear of the name Christ you cannot say whether it is white, great or small. When He is called Star, you cannot distinguish one from the other. The Star radiates light. His glory and His reign go to eternity. Christ is the light. Christ is Jehovah God, the light. Imagine how sweet the name sounds in a believer's ear. It is the light that blinded Saul on his way to Damascus. Christ is the name known to the Father and the Son. Let our first lesson be read again. First lesson: Matthew: 2:1-2 “Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him”. 4.3 The wise men and the star It was worthy to note that the wise men did not ask where was Jesus the Christ? They did not do so because they did not know Him by those names. There have been so many Jesus or Christ, e.g., Bar-Jesus etc. The wise men saw His Star, the splendour of His glory, reign and power. Therefore, if you call Him Star, you are correct. Do not call Him Christ. Many are fighting. Let us read our second lesson Revelation 22:I6. Second lesson: Revelation: 22:16 “I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star”. 4.4 The hidden name: Leader Olumba Olumba Obu The Star is the hidden name. You all have the gift of the Holy Spirit, but do you know this name? If we should now call it Brotherhood of the Cross-, so many people know Him as carrying the Cross, but how many know Him as the Star? It is crystal clear that He and the Father rule the world. Therefore, brethren, dispel all doubts you have ever nurtured. Christ promised that the Father will send a Comforter and that is the Holy Spirit. The Star has come to rule the whole world and the Lord Jesus can only be known in the Spirit and, no more in the flesh. The one doing the work is the Star, the power of the Holy Spirit. It is the power doing all the visible works. Christ Himself said, “if you had known these things you could have believed”. The Star means the Son, Father and the Holy Spirit. It is a name unknown to all human beings. Since many of you are like doubting Thomas, I have revealed it to you. That name belongs to Me alone. It is a name greater than all names given among men. 4.5 The Father ruleth for ever The Father, alone would rule to eternity. Right now, the Father is the one ruling the world. .That is why it is preached that we must be humble. The time for mankind to rule has passed away. The flesh can rule no more. The Father has wiped off all tears. The Star is indicative of the New City called Jerusalem; The Star indicates light that shines to eternity. It indicates the glory of God and the city of the children of God. All earthly kings will now have to surrender their kingship and enter into His glory. The first glory is what we have seen. It is the Star; it is the name of God, Christ and the children of God. The Star means light. God is light. Christ is light, angels are light, and the children of God are light. That was why Christ said you are the light Now tell us why you are not Star? If our Lord Jesus is Star what are you? If you are Star what of your friends? The very Star means everlasting life. Death has no dominion over the Star. The Star means everlasting joy, no lamentations, and no falsehood and is full of love. The Star is the new city of life and glory. The new world has arrived and the old one has gone away. Let us read our golden text again. Golden text; Revelation: 2:26-28 “And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations. And he shall rule them with a rod of iron, as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. And I will give him the morning star”. 4.6 Declare for Brotherhood of the Cross and Star Brethren, the golden text reveals everything to you. It is promised, that he that diligently carries all his works unto the end, to him will be given power over the nations. The Father will also give a rod of iron with which to rule. To qualify to rule in the new city of God, one must be free from all forms and manners of sins. One must be truthful, honest, sincere, diligent, faithful, loving, and humble. We must overcome all temptations as our Lord Jesus did and received the glory. The first step towards the attainment of the qualifications enumerated above is to declare for Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. The second step is to carry the cross and the glory revealed will be handed to us. The Lord declared, "To those who do my work diligently, I will give the crown, the cross, and glory and the power.” 4.7 Tears, tribulations end at the cross No material wealth can bring us the promised glory. We have to carry our Cross and get into it. In that glory, there is no death, no tribulations, and no sufferings. We have power to rule. Our tears, tribulations etc, end at the Cross. If we bear the Cross all will be sunshine for us forever. The door to the Kingdom of Heaven is open to those who are willing to take the glory, which is the Star. The power is God; it is the glory; it is the Holy Spirit. Those who over come all temptations and evils will have the glory. The Star is for everybody. It is the Son of Man. Why doubt it? All we need to do is to work hard and qualify to have it. Fight bravely and win the Star even as our Lord fought and won it. The reign of man has come to an end, and worldly governments are wiped away from the face of the earth. The glory of God will reign forever and death will have no power over the children of God. The Star is the highest glory we can aspire to attain. The earth is on fire now. There is no rest any where on the face of the earth. It is nothing but the arrival of Christ in His second coming and, He will be revealed to the world one day. On that day, all kings of the earth will weep and, the whole world will be sanctified by God's love. 4.8 Brotherhood of the Cross and Star: The new name for all the churches world wide. There will be no more deaths, doubts, sicknesses, sins, and glory of man. All we should do is for us to surrender ourselves completely in obedience to God. It is when we do this that we become fully of the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. It is going to be the new name for all churches in the world. Jesus is the same name today, yesterday, today, tomorrow and forever. Brotherhood means God; Cross means God and the Star also means God and the three in one and the one in three. Therefore. God himself is reigning in the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. God has come down in His glory to rule. The glory of man is fast fading away, while Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is daily rising higher and higher, and it has been revealed to the world. Your eyes will be wide open to see that what is causing troubles and an upheaval in the world is the inability of mankind to bear the Cross. We must heed the Father's word and carry the Cross, so we achieve the Star. It is said that a stroke of the cane is enough for the wise. Let those who have ears hear what the Holy Spirit has imparted to the world. May God bless His holy words. Amen. THANK YOU FATHER
