    GOD'S THREE INCARNATIONS ON EARTH

    First lesson: Hebrews: 1: 6 "And again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the world, He said. And let all the angels worship Him ". Second lesson: Revelation: 3:12 “Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from God and I will write upon him my new name”. Golden text: John: 14:19 “Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more, but ye see me, because I live, ye shall live also”. 9.1 The Changing spiritual state on earth This sermon serves as a reminder of what God has said about His children and the power He has now bestowed upon them. It may interest you to note that things have remarkably changed from their previous states to better ones. You may recall, when our Lord Jesus Christ was to be arrested and Peter tried to resist, Christ advised him to put back his sword into its sheath, for whoever takes the sword shall perish by the sword. He continued: Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father and He shall presently give me more than 12 legions of angels? (Matthew: 26:53) In the above text, a situation arose where He considered begging the Father for 12 legions of angels. However, this position has changed today. In view of this change, the first begotten does not pray the Father to give Him anything. This is because; everything is now at His disposal. Most importantly, all the angels must worship Him. This explains the difference between now and the past. It is said, "And again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the world, He said. And let all the angels worship Him ".(Hebrews: 1:6) Now, the power is so great that many people assume that it does not come from God. So great is the power that any organisation or society you contact in any part of the world, seeking for power, will refer you to 34, Ambo Street, Calabar, Cross River State Nigeria, the Headquarters of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. If you go to the Hades or inside the water or up to the sky, looking for power, all the inhabitants there will surely refer you to 34 Ambo Street, Calabar. They will also advise you to get baptised into the fold if you had not done so. The situation as recorded in the first lesson is very revealing. It could be compared to the honour accorded a Head of State or President of a country notwithstanding his age, sex or origin. As a President, all the citizens of the country have to obey and respect him; and he has to exercise all the powers that go with such an exalted office. Furthermore, if a truck- pusher should become a President or Prime Minister, his status changes automatically and he will be called known and addressed as per his new designation- Mr. President for instance, and not as Okon, the truck- pusher. Any person who ventures to call the President by his old name or occupation will have the full wrath of law upon him. If he had been your friend or relation, the prevailing situation would bring a new dimension into the relationship. The second lesson also contains facts for discussion. God says: “Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out; and I will write upon Him the name of my God, and the name of the city of God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name” (Revelation: 3:12). 9.2 The new name of God The questions now are: who knows the new name? Is the new name, Jesus, Christ, Messiah, Saviour, Lamb of God or what? This is the mystery for the entire world to unravel. He has come with a new name that is different from the old ones by which He was known, called and addressed. Note that, if He were to answer any of His old names the whole world would have known Him. Do you think the new Jerusalem, which comes from heaven, is the one in Israel under dispute? Every person who reads this portion of the Bible should give a deep consideration to it. The third lesson is a statement made by God Himself. “Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me because I live, ye shall live also”. (John: 14:19) Who are the ones referred to as those that would see Him no more? These are fornicators, liars, murderers, thieves, idolaters, smokers, snuffers, drunks and all those who live abominable lives as unbelievers. Consider this situation: if you had known a person and were familiar with him but suddenly he disappeared from your sight and consequently puts on a new name and looks, could you identify such a person? The person might even stand before you and converse with you, but because he had not introduced himself to you, you will not know and identify him. On the other hand, even if he introduced himself to you, you could still doubt him, because of his new name and new look. But all those who identify him and believe in him will be rejoicing with him. They will be enjoying his company and also reap the fruit accruing from such association. Those who disbelieve him will be missing both his company and his goodness. Though people may doubt the validity of such claims, the truth must prevail. Even in the law court, evidence tendered is enough to corroborate or give validity to the case in dispute. Similarly, there are now a multitude of witnesses testifying about the presence of God on earth. Those who continue to gaze into the sky expecting our Lord Jesus Christ to descend from there should pray fervently for themselves. Another part of the second lesson that is worthy of note is that which states: “Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God and he shall go no more out”. (Revelation: 3:12) 9.3 Are you a pillar in God’s temple? This is a conditional promise. The promise here is that of being made a pillar in the temple of God. For one to merit such a position, the condition is that, the one has to overcome. In other words, you cannot be made a pillar in God's temple if you do not overcome. This explains the reason why many members of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star cannot deviate an inch from their doctrine. Such persons are those who prefer to die in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. The problem with some members of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is that they do not trust in God. They do not really believe that God does not joke with His word. They do not know that whenever God utters any word, it must come to fulfillment. Is there any church denomination, institution of learning, healing home or hospital, where all the members, students or patients have residential status therein? Or simply asked, can members of any church denomination, patients in any hospital or customers in business and so on, have access to free accommodation in such an institution? In Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, many families are sustained here. The parents and children live in bethels and are catered for, free. Such children are trained free to any level of education. In Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, there are many well to do persons who find bethels even more comfortable to live in, than their estates, since their baptism. How the whole thing works and how the situation comes about, no one can explain except the Father. Nobody would now doubt the possibility of one leaving his house at about 4.30 a.m. only to return the following day or days, after consecutive prayer services and activities. In the world, such story would cause people to look at you as having dubious intent or getting involved in some nefarious activities in such a place. This singular event is the fulfillment of the words of the scripture that, where the carcass is, there also will the eagles gather. People are coming from America, India, Britain, Russia and other parts of the world to Calabar, Nigeria, to see the Father and embrace this kingdom. What is going on in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is not such that you should beg anybody to come in and receive. It is given that only the elects of God, His true children, see Him lavishly. Others, the non- believers, do not see Him. This explains the reason why two people can live in the same room and one would be seeing the Father lavishly whereas the other would not see Him. People from far and wide are seeing the Father wherever they reside; whereas there are many living very close to Him but cannot see Him. This is a situation the entire world should think over. During the days of our Lord Jesus Christ, people gathered and requested Him to tell them who He was on one occasion. He told the people that: “No man knoweth the Son, but the Father: neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whoso ever the Son will reveal him”.(Matthew: II:27). 9.4 The power of Him who is in our midst If you consider all the patriarchs that existed, none was given more than an angel as a guard. Moses, Elijah (who was even an angel), John the Baptist and the rest of them had one angel guarding each of them. Hades, the ocean, death, sickness, Lucifer, rain, sun, thunder and the rest of the phenomena are angels. If therefore, there exists a Being to whom all the creation have to bow down and worship, why not ask who such a being is? Those who continue to doubt and long to find His source will never know it until doomsday. An adage has it that, blindness is evil and ignorance is a disease. The entire world is ignorant and blind. These are the major problems plaguing the world. If all the messengers that were sent by God had all been systematically eliminated, do you expect Him to continue in the same manner of sending messengers? When the King of Assyria threatened King Hezekiah with a letter of intent to destroy Him, the latter did plan not a counter offensive but quietly took the letter to the temple and surrendered it to God in prayer. God hearkened and immediately sent an angel that destroyed all the Assyrian soldiers and the city itself. If a single angel could be so powerful, consider the Being to whom all angels should bow and worship. The world thinks that Satan is so powerful: but this is the same being (Satan) whom an angel got chained and cast into the bottomless pit (Revelation: 20). All the pestilence, famine, death, drought, wind and so on are angels, messengers of God. When Jonah was sent to Nineveh, he refused to go. Instead, he boarded a boat to Tarsus. God sent an angel who caused commotion in the boat until Jonah admitted responsibility for the turbulence. He was immediately thrown into the sea and a whale, an angel of God, swallowed him and subsequently delivered him at Nineveh. That was the handiwork of God. If the angels can be so powerful, can you imagine the power of Him who is the first begotten of God who shall be brought into the world and whom all the angels are asked to worship? The words 'the first begotten', therefore, do not indicate a tree, fish of any creature other than a human being. Note that. God has never told any angel,' this day, I have begotten you, you are my son.' Emphasis is on the word "Son" a noun used to describe the male offspring from the human race. 9.5 Adam, the first son of God on earth If I may ask, whose children were Adam and Eve? They were the children of God. Adam represented the first incarnation of Christ and he married and begot children. We all are the offspring of Adam. Did that stop him from being a child of God? Did that make him second to any other person? Apart from Noah, who else lived as long as Adam? Adam lived for 930 years. When Adam needed a partner, it was produced from one of his ribs. Before this was done God caused him to go into a deep sleep, which was death. You can therefore, realize that death started with Adam. If you say that God is not a man, how come that man is made in His image? Why was man not created in the image of a tree or animal? Why also did God not breathe into a tree or stone to become a partner unto Adam? Or did He not have the power to do so? 9.6 Jesus Christ the second Son of God on earth The second Adam, the spirit that quickened, came from above. He was the Christ. At the Second Advent, he bore a new name, Jesus Christ. Eve also reincarnated but with a new name, Mary, the mother of Jesus. Would you say that, because of the change in their names and circumstances, Christ and Mary were not Adam and Eve incarnated respectively? The scriptures states: “For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous”. (Romans: 5:19). What is needed now is for man to retrace his steps towards redeeming his tarnished image. Experience, they say, is the best teacher. After going through the ordeal and learning his lessons the bitter way, the first Adam came back as Christ denouncing marriage and everything that was mundane. 1Corinthians: 15:45- 47 “And so it is written, the first man Adam was made a living soul: the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven”. This explains the reason why Jesus Christ came to atone for the sins that He had committed. His second advent was, therefore, a corrective one after which He declared on the cross, “it is finished." The declaration marked the end of the old deeds and the beginning of a new era and a new life. The downfall of Adam is traceable to Eve. For that reason, he took stock of events and restrained Himself. In His second advent, instead of having Eve as a partner, Christ only passed through Eve as His mother Mary. The simple understanding here is that, the same woman. Eve that caused the downfall of Adam also brought about the birth of Christ, the second Adam, the Saviour. It was prophesized that a virgin girl shall bring forth the Saviour of the world. If God had not taken control of Mary and made her a virgin, the world would not have been saved till date. Eve was brought out of Adam's ribs. To balance the equation therefore in his second advent. God made it such that Adam was born by Eve incarnate as Mary. Even as a woman came through a man, so also has man come through a woman? If the first Adam did not turn into a spirit, how would it have been possible for him to reincarnate as the second Adam, the quickening spirit? Nobody can question God or contest His actions. He does His things the way it pleases Him. Consider the following: if in His first and second advents. He was called Adam and Jesus respectively, in His next coming, would you still expect Him to answer any of these names? Again, if after her first advent. Eve came back the second time to answer her former name, what meaning would have been conveyed? Moreover, if during her first appearance she was known, called and addressed as Eve, and in the Second Advent, she answered Mary, do you think that in her subsequent advent or reappearance, she would continue answering Mary? 9.7 The third and last Adam on earth The first Adam was a product from the earth. The second was a spirit. Now, from where will the third Adam come and from what stuff will He be made? Do you not think He is capable of coming from anywhere, having fulfilled every condition as regards dual origination? He could be man (earthly) or spirit, man or woman, young or old, white or black. He can be anything or everything. In fact, He has no limited nature and existence. Now, consider this fact: if Adam had not Eve, through whom they begot children, how would the earth have been replenished? The second Adam (Jesus), having gone through the several ordeals and learnt His lessons the hard way in his first advent as Adam, decided to live a simple and quiet life in his second advent. That was so because His second advent was to be a temporary one, and with a brief and straightforward assignment to execute. For that reason, He needed neither house, wife, children, nor any property. He finally atoned for the sins He committed and promised to come back into the world again. In this His last advent, as the last Adam, He has come in a big way with His group of angels. His family. His disciples and everything that would enhance the accomplishment of His task. This is so because His stay in this advent is not a temporary one. If you are to live in a society where the inhabitants are evil and abominable, it is either you go there with the intention to bend them or join them. In order to bend them, you have to go there and establish your family, your culture, your government and your kingdom entirely. You should also be prepared to teach and exhort the people. And this is what happens in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, the new Kingdom of God where in dwelleth righteousness. Except you repent, you cannot inherit it. Have you ever-heard of a sheep giving birth to a goat? Or have you ever heard of a pig giving birth to a sheep? If the genealogy of Jesus the Christ is traced, it will lead to Adam. The reason why mankind is unable to practise the word of God is because of his evil inheritance from his forefathers. Your great grandparents were thieves, murderers, fornicators, idolaters who generally lived abominable lives, and these traits were passed on to their children and to other generations yet unborn. You are now exhibiting the habits of your parents, which you inherited through the blood. No amount of preaching can change an evil man and no evil parent can produce righteous children. Zacharias and Elizabeth lived for so long without any child because God wanted their flesh to be mortified before they had one . God wanted to draw them closer to Him and get all calamities divorced from them so that any offspring they produce could imbibe the virtues. If they had an issue early in their marriage such a child would have been an ordinary child and would have lived an unholy life. Zacharias and Elizabeth therefore, were delayed so that the Holy Spirit could pass into them. Through Elijah, John the Baptist was able to do all that he did because he was not in the flesh. I reiterate until doomsday, evil parents will continue to beget evil children. Man is the blood; the water is Christ, while the Spirit is God. It is for this reason that Brotherhood of the Cross and Star preaches and wages war against sins. If the entire world were to be righteous, then the human race would be without sin because all the parents would be holy and would thus beget undefiled children. In other words, at a point in your life when you could be completely repentant and holy. God could use your righteousness to cleanse your children. This explains the reason why it is said 1 Timothy: 4:8 “For bodily exercise profiteth little; but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. First lesson: Hebrews: 1: 6 "And again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the world, He said. And let all the angels worship Him ". 9.8 The plan of God for His children That was God's promise to His first Son. One may like to ask of the promise God made for the rest of His sons. Or would you say that God was wrong or partial in making such a promise to only one of His Sons? The answer is clear: that was the first Son and so, God was not wrong to make such a promise unto Him. You are my witness that every first son occupies an exalted and enviable position in each family. It is natural. Nobody, therefore, has the right to question God for whatever He does or contest His statements. There is the story of what happened to Lot when he departed Sodom and Gomorrah. His wife, because of her lust for materials things, became a pillar of salt. God has always been the sustainers of mankind and the master-planner of all things. No man knows and can do anything. Lot had two daughters both of them were virgins. Something happened between them. After a certain while, the second daughter gave much wine to her father until he became drunk and lured him to sleep with her. Lot did and the daughter became pregnant. Who gave that girl such knowledge to muddle her father with drinks? Would you say that it was not God that was responsible? When the first daughter became aware of the situation and inquired how the pregnancy came about, the younger sister told her the process. The eldest sister applied the same method and was also put in the family way by the father. But for this wisdom, the family of Lot would have been exterminated. Whose design was that? God designed the same plan for Judah who had two sons. The eldest got married but had no child until he died. After his death, his younger brother was asked to take over the woman as his wife and raise the children. He did not like the idea of marrying his late brother's wife, but because he was forced to he had to succumb. For that reason, when he resolved to sleep with the woman, he withdrew himself, when it was time for him to 'come' into the woman. By the singular act of withdrawal, the younger son of Judah was guilty of murder. The young man paid for this act with his life. You may recall that. God had made a promise to the house of Judah that; the crown and the glorious staff shall not depart that house. It is now clear that by his selfish and disobedient act, Judah's younger son was resisting the will of God. Judah was left alone after the death of his second son. Now, what about God's promise to the house of Judah? Age, you know, was telling very much on Judah. One day, as Judah was strolling, he met one beautiful lady who caught his admiration. He approached her and courted her immediately. When Judah asked the lady what she would receive in exchange for her love, she demanded no other thing than his staff. Judah was outwitted. Who gave the lady such a wisdom? The deal was thus settled and the staff given out in exchange. Before long, rumours started spreading that, a certain lady; Judah's daughter-in-law and widow, was pregnant. According to the Jewish law, for a woman to be pregnant out of wedlock tantamounts to adultery and it attracted a death penalty. When the story was told to Judah, he decided to find out the truth for himself. Arriving at the house, Judah met the lady in the exact condition as was rumoured. When he asked the lady how the pregnancy came about, she quietly went into her room and brought out the staff, which Judah gave in exchange for love. Judah was shocked to his bone marrow. The case of pregnancy out of wedlock died a natural death, and the lady delivered a baby boy into Judah's household. That was God's designed plan; so that His promise to that house might be fulfilled. Would you say that there is any evil in such a plan? The answer is no. This explains the fact that, no one is responsible for most of the things he/ she does. Even Adam and Eve cannot be blamed for eating the forbidden fruit. They were prompted by God to eat it so that His will might be fulfilled. God can be merciful to whom He pleases and can harden one's heart if the situation so demands. Recall the case of Pharaoh. He can cause you to do anything, which you would otherwise not have done. It is, therefore, erroneous for anyone to say that Pharaoh was hard- hearted. When Moses incidentally caused the death of an Egyptian, he was satisfied that at least, nobody saw him. The following day, when an Israelite reminded him of the incident as he tried to stop the Israelite fighting one another, he was surprised and fled the city. That was the exact time God wanted him to depart Egypt. The reason God did this can be traced to the words spoken by Christ as contained in (Matthew:I9:23) Matthew: 19:23 “Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you. That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven”. Left to Moses alone, he would not have loved to miss the goodies in Pharaoh's palaces but for the will of God to be fulfilled, he had to be moved into an action he did not plan for. Before God, all things are possible. The lesson here is that, we should not despise, judge, condemn, or blame God for anything. Rather, we should be thankful to God for whatever situation we find ourselves. Many members of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star were brought in by other members who have since left the fold. They had to leave the fold because they could not overcome and could therefore, not be made pillars in the temple of God. The ability to do anything comes from God. Without Him, no one can achieve anything. On the other hand, there are yet many who have longed to depart from Brotherhood of the Cross and Star but can not depart because God holds them. 9.9 Brotherhood of the Cross and Star comes from God If this kingdom had come from man, definitely it would not stand. If it were an organisation dependent on money or government, this Kingdom would since have fallen. The world has tried and tempted members of this Kingdom in various ways but has always met with a tough resistance. This is the reason why they conclude that Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is something else, something associated with Beelzebub. The things a man treasures and holds in high esteem are nothing before God. But the ones he despises and accords no recognition to are the ones God exalts. God holds us and empowers us to overcome and be established in this kingdom as pillars. Many others have suffered similar distasteful situations engendered by their families, parents, spouses, children and communities, just to stay firm in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. On both sides, God is responsible for the actions. Even the white garment, it is not easy to put it on in this kingdom let alone to openly declare for Brotherhood of the Cross and Star and admit that Olumba Olumba Obu is your Father. You cannot do these except the spirit of God is in you. There are certain people who love Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, but their obstacle is the wearing of the white garment. All the same, those who overcome will win the prize of being made a pillar in the temple of God. Those who come in here and see the truth are unshakable in spite of whatever problems and agonies they have to pass through. There is nothing in the world that is worth appreciating, if you lean on God and submit to Him. He will take care of you. There are many who come to Brotherhood of the Cross and Star like people attending any other church with carefree attitudes. They have forgotten that there is no conventional church denomination, healing home, hospital, commercial house or institution of learning that could be so kind and benevolent as to allow the less privileged to dwell there in, whether temporarily or not, and be fed and clothed free. Such gestures can only be found here in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. This explains the maxim, 'no cross, no crown". In other words, you cannot reap where you have not sown. Do not expect to benefit bountifully from what you have not sacrifised anything for. Anything that you have on a platter of gold is never durable. God does not behave as man. He is neither flippant nor deceitful. He keeps His promises unto Himself and fulfils them only in due season. What Brotherhood of the Cross and Star has done for mankind, no government, not even parents, have done such for their children. What you do for the world is an exercise in futility. But any service you render to God returns to you with abundant rewards. All those who departed Brotherhood of the Cross and Star for whatever reason have cause to lament and in fact, they are mourning now. Let us read the second lesson again. Second lesson: Revelation: 3:12 “Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from God and I will write upon him my new name”. 9.10 Only God calls you and retains you in this kingdom The above passage constitutes God's promise. Therefore, whoever leaves Brotherhood of the Cross and Star does so because he has not been able to overcome and be made a pillar in the temple of God. Any person who is selective in his service to God and in the method of attending prayers or other activities (by coming to worship say, once or twice in a week or a month) is yet to overcome. The condition is that, for anyone to be made a pillar in the temple of God and be made to stay (or abide) therein forever, he has to conquer. If you prefer to marry, or crave for other material things, then you have not overcome. Though you may sleep in the temple of God, except you are able to overcome, you cannot be made a pillar in the temple of God as such because you can leave at any time. They are many in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star who have gone far ahead in the practice of the gospel in this Kingdom. There are yet, others who still drink, smoke, eat flesh, and commit fornication and adultery and other vices. Such people cannot overcome and cannot consequently be crowned and be made pillars in the temple of God. The children of God who have conquered cannot indulge in such acts and have thus, been made pillars in the temple of God. In the Kingdom of God, there is neither day nor night; no one has time for himself. There is complete devotion to God. God cannot allow anyone to be tempted beyond his capability and in the midst of every temptation He always appears as a saviour. There is nothing God cannot do for His children. He has deliberately hidden this Kingdom from the rich and the so-called wise men of this world. He always starts a serious affair in a very simple and playful manner, in such a way that many so- called wise and learned men would not take it seriously. People, the world over, are calling on Jesus everywhere, and are expecting Him to descend from the sky. The knowledge of God confounds man. If God were to think and behave the way man does, then man would, by now, have discovered and overcome Him. The situation in God's Kingdom could not be compared with the secular government. If you work in any government parastatal, there is time for retirement, transfer and so on. But on the contrary, many have retired without any benefit. But that is not so in the service of God. In the first place, there is no transfer; no leave and no retirement in God's kingdom and therefore, the benefits accruing there from are great. In the Kingdom of God, it is only joy that reigns supreme. The so called big men of the world who have seen this kingdom come in here like Nicodemus at night and get baptised. But this is not a kingdom to which one should belong in secrecy. It is clear and open to all. Read the golden text again. Golden text: John 14:19 “Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more, but ye see me, because I live, ye shall live also”. 9.11 Those who believe in Leader Olumba Olumba Obu have seen God face to face Beloved, heaven and earth shall pass away, but not a jot of the word that comes out from God's mouth would go unfilled. When you hear people of the church denominations announcing their expectation of our Lord Jesus Christ from the sky, and how they really gaze into the sky, watching the time He will descend, you laugh them to scorn. But while laughing at them, you should also be sympathetic towards them. Even when you tell them that the same Jesus Christ is dwelling with men, they will cast disdainful looks at you and regard you as being insane. They forget the fact that, continents and nations of the world have different governments. Moreover, should Christ decide to come down directly to any of the cities or villages in Nigeria with the trumpet sounding for all to hear, how would people in America, India, Britain and even some neighbouring countries behold Him? No matter how far away He may be in the sky, not all eyes can behold Him or shall He be suspended in mid-air? Those who have surrendered themselves to His words have seen Him and He has revealed Himself to them. This explains the reason why people travel from far and near to come and pay homage to Him. Except God calls you, you cannot follow Him: and unless, you are chosen, you cannot be His elect. You should therefore, not bother anybody with the story of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, with the view to convincing him. The ways of God are quite different from man. That is the reason why, no matter the amount of convincing revelations and stories you may tell somebody about Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, he will find it difficult to believe. All he wants to hear is that Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is a blood-sucking organisation, which is only out to wreck havoc. In spite of these stories, many people have been baptised only to realise the truth that the stories are false and baseless. We have every cause to rejoice and thank God for His wonderful mercy. It is His grace that we are part of this Kingdom; for there are many who are not opportune to either come into this Kingdom or see God face to face. A stroke of the cane, it is said, is enough for the wise. May God bless His holy words. Amen. THANK YOU FATHER
