Everlasting Gospel
First lesson: Matthew 20:28
“Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.”
Second lesson: John 15:13
“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”
Golden text: John 13:17
“If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.”
14.1 He has revealed Himself
Do not continue to seek for visions, dreams, healing or any spiritual work for God has openly revealed Himself to us this day. Our Lord Jesus Christ has revealed His Father to us. Therefore, there is no need for anyone to continue to gaze at the sky, or at the sun, moon or star. There is no need for any man to continue to search for God anywhere. It is not a matter of prolonged preaching or persuasion for the world to believe and worship Him. He said that blessed are those who practise these commandments. Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself has done everything openly to reveal to us who God is. He says, "the Son of man came not to be served but to serve and to give His life a ransom for many.” What else are you looking and waiting for? If we know all these things and abide by them, it means that we have the Father and the Son.
Whoever claims that he has attended a seminary, is a member of powerful secret societies, has studied abroad and has been living inside the soil, water, sun, moon or star for years, is merely deceiving himself for such claims mean nothing. Such adventures are unprofitable if you fail to practise this gospel for you will neither have the Father nor the Son.
Many of us would not have continued in ignorance if we had been reading the Holy Bible with understanding. It is revealed in the scriptures right from Genesis to the Revelation of John the Divine that, God is the author of everything in the whole world. There is no need for anybody to think of seeing or touching God before he believes and obeys Him. He created the world and everything in it, including man. This explains why He said that greater love has no man than this that He should lay down His life for His friends.
14.2 Christ came to serve man
Now the questions are, who are the friends of Christ? Is it not you and I? Is it not sheer foolishness for anybody to say that he does not worship man but God? Who did our Lord Jesus Christ worship? Know that to worship is to love sincerely and devotedly. Jesus Christ loves man sincerely and devotedly.
Christ has revealed the truth in our first Bible lesson that, “the Son of man came not to be served but to serve”. You are not prepared to serve any man but to kill. maim, cheat, oppress and hate. Christ served man, loved man, respected man, and was kind to man. He did everything He could to help man. But you claim to serve, respect, love and worship God alone. But you fail to respect, love, obey or serve your fellow man. You claim to be a man of God yet you continue to hate, kill, steal, disgrace, quarrel, fight and kill your fellow man. All your attacks, and anger are directed at man. This is the same man Christ offered His precious blood for his salvation. What kind of man of God are you if you hate and persecute your fellow man?
All human inventions and weapons of destruction are directed at man's life, to destroy him. We have forgotten that Christ laid down His life for the redemption of all.
This is the same man who God created in His own image and breathed into His nostrils. Christ did not come to die because of the worthiness of man. None merited such a gesture. It is a manifestation of God's abundant love and grace. It is the same love for humanity that led Christ to accept to come and save mankind and lead him into His Father's Kingdom. Any man who had done these things out of ignorance may be excused. But after being told the truth this day, you have no excuse anymore.
Know that Christ did not come so that men would serve Him or accept Him and appreciate Him. Rather He came to serve man and to give His life as a ransom for many. He did not come to judge, impoverish, main or kill man. He did not come to scatter abroad but to gather. He came to serve, to unite and to give eternal life to all. This is not the time for anyone to look for visions.
A woman who was accused of adultery was taken before Christ for arbitration. Christ Himself did not, at any time, preach in favour of fornication or adultery. The people who accused a woman quoted to Christ a portion of the law of Moses against adultery and sought for His opinion. While waiting for His reaction, Christ stooped down and scribbled something on the ground to indicate the names of the accusers of that woman and their respective sins. When each man saw his name against the sins he had committed, they quietly departed, one after the other remaining Christ and the woman. When Christ looked up and asked the woman about her accusers, she told Him they had all left. The woman told Christ that she had not been condemned by her accusers and Christ too told her neither did He condemn her but warned her to go and sin no more.
That is what behoves us all to do. It is a clear indication that Christ came to serve man out of perdition. He never blasphemed against Moses, Abraham, Enoch, Herod, or any of the men of old, not even against kings.
14.3 Only those who love and worship man can worship God
It is written that, “a bruised reed shall He not break and smoking flax shall He not quench,...” All these things are indeed to reveal who God is and what is expected of us all to do. How will you love God if you do not love the man that you see? How possible is it for you to worship God that you do not see if you fail to worship the man that you see? How will you believe in God if you do not first believe in the man that you see? If you do not receive and rejoice with man who you see, it means you do not receive God who you do not see. :
14.4 Emulate Christ in His service to man
Christ came as the Son of man, Son of God and God Himself yet did not hesitate to serve man and to give His life as a ransom for many. Is that not enough sacrifice for us all to emulate Him? He explained to us that whoever loves his fellow man has loved Him. He also made it clear that whoever serves his fellow man and obeys him has equally done these to Christ. Yet there are many who use the name of God to commit atrocious acts. Using the name of God, people would steal, hate, maim, and cheat their fellow men. It is said in a local adage that a child that does not intend to live demands from the parents that they should make a bow with a pestle which is impossible.
14.5 An illustration
There is a story that has it that the tortoise once had an in-law who gave him some money to buy a fowl for him but should neither buy a cock nor a hen. The tortoise quietly went home. When he got home, he sent words to his in-law to send somebody to come for the fowl in his house, but that the person should neither be a male nor female. The in-law to the tortoise shook his head in acknowledgment of the tortoise's wisdom.
14.6 Man is in God's image
Is it not foolishness for people to say they cannot worship any man but the real God? Now that you worship the real God, have you ever seen the real God yourself? The whole world now is waiting for the arrival of our Lord Jesus Christ. In His first advent, what did man do? Did men receive or believe Him? Were you not the same people who crucified Him? In what nature do you expect God to manifest Himself? God created man in His own image. Because of that, each time He sent His representative to the earth, the inhabitants would kill such a person. Even when He sent down an angel in the image of man, the world killed him. Nobody is ready to receive God. A local adage says that trick is not wisdom.
Any man who refuses to practise this gospel shall perish. It is said that blessed are those who keep the commandments of God; also blessed are those who do not seek to be served but to serve others. We must seek to serve and honour others and to give our lives as ransom for many.
14.7 No love for man, no love for God
The Kingdom of God does not admit anything like politics, deceit and disobedience. These are traits of your unpreparedness to serve God. It is a sign of unbelief. Any man who does not love his fellow man does not love God and anyone who does not respect his fellow man cannot respect God. God created man in His own image. There is no other way He can manifest Himself except in human form. He was killed when He came because men saw Him as an ordinary human being.
The whole world is still waiting for God to come with a trumpet blowing and declaring Himself to all that He has arrived. Then would they follow Him. Meanwhile, man is busy stealing, hating and killing his fellow man. God is sustaining and holding us in His firm grip for His kingdom. This is why He has sent this everlasting gospel to the world.
Blessed is the man who practises this gospel for he shall see the Father and the Son. Right from Genesis to Revelation nothing else is contained there apart from Christ. Christ alone saw God and revealed Him to man.
First lesson: Matthew 20:28
“Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many”.
14.8 You must honour man
From what is contained in the text, what have you to say in defense, those of you who claim you will never worship man except God alone? It is conclusive, therefore that, you will not see Him. This explains why the scriptures say that any man who does not love his fellow man cannot love God. He has said that even as the Father loves Him so also He loves you and that you should continue in His love. He also teaches us to love our enemies and pray for those who despitefully use us so that we will resemble our Father who is in heaven who allows His sun to shine on the just and unjust and His rain to fall on the roof of the good and evil ones.
Do not seek for anything from men but rather try to serve all irrespective of age, colour, sex or status. We should be ready to give our lives as ransom for all. Whoever practises this gospel has got both the Father and the Son. That exactly is the teaching of our Lord Jesus Christ. Whoever rejects the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ is empty and void. Neither vision nor dream can help you. Healing power cannot grant you salvation.
14.9 Man must change
It is said that a child that walks circumspectly will kill that which had killed his father but a child that walks carelessly will be killed by the same thing that had killed his father. This is exactly what has been even right from time immemorial, till date. This is the source of problems and destruction to humanity. The same sins committed by the people of old are what you in this present generation still commit. The mistakes the whites made are also what the blacks make. It is also what the men, women and children commit.
The time of judgement is nigh. It behooves us to practise this gospel so that we will have the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. This is not the time for any man to seek for dreams, visions or healing, but it is the period we should submit to God's injunctions.
14.10 What causes lack of peace on earth
Who is man that God should come to? If man were not important to God and related with Him, why would God have come down to serve him? What other sign are you waiting for? Which other God are you waiting for? Do not expect any other God, He is the Son of Man, Son of God and God Himself. He is the same God who had existed, He exists and shall exist for ever. That same God has come to deliver us from bondage and to give us eternal life. Therefore, anybody who says he cannot worship man but God alone is merely deceiving himself. There are a lot of church denominations, clubs and societies, yet none is prepared to practise the gospel. It is funny to hear people say that they do not worship man yet they initiate into secret societies and churches established by men. Because you have resolved that you will worship no man, that has been your undoing. This is why the churches, the government the communities and all human beings are at war with each other. There is no peace in the world. There is no love at all. None is obedient and respectful all over the world. This is because man has resolved not to worship his fellow men.
There is a commandment that all children should honour their parents or else they will die. Now, who are the parents that you are enjoined by the Holy Spirit to worship? Are they not human beings? But because man has vowed not to worship his fellow human being, children also fail to honour their parents. It is also nominated in the scriptures that you should honour all men, love the Brotherhood, fear God and honour the King. How can you comply with this portion of the Holy Bible when you have resolved not to worship any man? You hate, disobey and dislike your fellow man.
Read the second lesson
Second lesson: John 15:13
“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends”
14.11 You are His children
Whoever complies with the above injunction has got the Father and the Son. Besides, you are sure of getting life eternal. The governments, communities, churches and all offices have failed as a result of disobedience, hatred, deceit and dishonour. What type of love could be greater than God's for laying down His life as ransom for many? It was God's intention to destroy the world because of man's iniquities. There was no man in heaven and on earth to redeem man. This call was not for the redemption of God or angel but man. But you have vowed not to love and honour man. People kill their fellow man. Communities, clans and nations continue to fight their fellow men. I charge you to drop that rebellious idea now and start worshipping God in spirit and truth.
14.12 God loves and honours man
God Himself loves and honours man by giving His life as ransom for the salvation of many. He is the King of Kings and Lord of lords. Has any man had the knowledge that if he hates his fellow men, he indirectly hates God? Is it not funny to confess that you have seen God face to face yet you continue to hate your fellow brethren? Many of you call yourselves church ministers and founders of various churches yet you continue to persecute one another. Why do you judge others? You curse your fellow men, impute sins to one another. What is the wisdom there? Yet God who created us all and the whole world laid down His life for the redemption of man. It is for this reason that mankind has lost both the Father and the Son. No government, community, or individual honours man. It is only those who comply with this gospel that have the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Whoever fails to comply with this gospel belongs to Lucifer whose end is total destruction. God had instructed that all angels should bow down and worship God. All other angels obeyed and worshipped Christ except Lucifer. What was the end of this rebellious angel? That is why I worship man. I love and stand to serve God in order that I may have the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Roman Catholic Church in its bid to maintain its' former dominant religious position embarked on what it called Holy war during which many souls were destroyed. The Moslems too killed a lot of Christians because of religious fanaticism. Why do you have to kill your fellow man? This is the time to lay down your weapon of war and embrace one another in love, peace, kindness and mercy.
14.13 The new kingdom of God is here
This is the new Kingdom wherein dwells righteousness, peace, love, oneness and all the virtues. You should accept to worship man so that you can honour your parents, elders, and church ministers. Did Christ not say that whoever receives one of the little children in His name receives Him? Therefore, do not disgrace any creation of God. Who is your father and mother? Are they not the men and women you see in the world? It therefore means that you should honour every man and woman notwithstanding their status, age, and relationship with you. If we, endeavour to practise this practical teaching, we will have life. It does not call for prolonged fasting and prayers, nor does it require melodious singing and dexterous dancing. This is not the time for corporal nor manual punishments. It is not the time for man's inhumanity to his fellow man rather, it is time for truth, love, peace and mercy. You have to put on the armour of God. We have to practise the teachings of the only One who gives His life and peace.
The Samaritan woman told Christ during their discussion that their forefathers worshipped on the mount but that people said that there was a place in Jerusalem where God ought to be worshipped. But Christ told her that a time was coming when people would neither worship God on the mountain nor in Jerusalem for they the (Samaritans) worshipped what they did not know but that the Jews knew what they worshipped for salvation was of the Jews.
14.14 To worship God in Spirit and Truth
Anybody who practises this gospel worships God in Spirit and in truth. To worship God in Spirit and truth does not approve the attitude or idea of going to the mountains, seashore or any designated place to worship God. The only acceptable manner of worshipping God is in love, peace, humility, meekness and mercy. Do what you may to remain in your former church, belief or doctrine, it profits you nothing. At the fullness of time, all knees shall bow and every tongue shall praise His holy name. That is why He says blessed are those that practise His teachings. Church denominations, secret societies and other mundane gatherings do not even love their members but Brotherhood of the Cross and Star loves all, and does not impute sins on any. Tell me then the reason why they will not desert these societies and come to Brotherhood of the Cross and Star?
There are prison yards, law courts, police stations and remand homes, yet, the officers of these institutions are thieves and murderers. The presidents, governors, the church ministers, the police, the judges among many others are all criminals.
14.15 The end of time
This is judgement time. Many have emerged in the world with various dignifying names even including being called Jesus and God. Recently in America, a leader of a certain religious group who claimed to be God, the saviour got himself burnt alive. The evils that men do live with them. God Himself is a friend to sinners and this is the case with those of us in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star.
Golden Text: John 13:17
“If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them”
14.16 Practise the word of God
People have founded churches, societies and business outfits but none has established love nor practised it. Blessed are those who practise these teachings. Do you not want to be blessed? What have you gained from all other establishments? Nigeria was once ruled as a unitary state, that is, without many states as we have today. Then the people in the regions complained of cheating and neglect. Twelve states were later created in order to meet the yearnings of the people. The creation of these states, instead of solving the problem rather brought about more political, economic and social problems.
To address the structural imbalance among the component units, more states were created. The political map was further redrawn to nineteen states and presently to thirty states. Even if the country is split into one thousand states to reflect each family, the problem will still be most complicated. So long as man does not love and honour his fellow man, there will be no peace in the world. Except man practises this gospel, the promises of God to bless man will not follow him.
14.17 The source of power in the kingdom
It is written that a blind man cannot lead a fellow blind. The blacks saw the whites as their saviour and demi-gods. But today the, veil has been removed from their eyes and the truth is open to the world. The hypocrisy of the whites has been exposed. The blacks also are, hypocrites. The inhabitants of the world had gone into series of investigation about the source of absolute power existing in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star; that absolute power that all powers in heaven and earth submit to wherever the Holy name Leader Olumba Olumba Obu is pronounced. The dead arise from the death with the mention of this name, the blind see and the deaf hear and the barren become fruitful. All secret societies, juju doctors, and mermaids, all evil powers tremble and submit before this Holy name. All the cosmic powers submit before Him. Where is this tremendous power from?
14.18 You must worship and love man
The source of this power now in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, is hereby revealed to the world. Unless the whole world loves and worships man who is made in the image of God, the world will not have God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit because they do not love the Father, Son and Holy Spirit with all their heart, mind and spirit as directed by God. In Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit is loved, and worshipped devotedly and consequently man, made in His image and who is His son is loved also. This is God’s commandment Wherever God is loved with all the mind, heart and spirit, God dwells there and manifests His power there.
14.19 What is worship?
The world accuses us of worshiping man. We accept it. But what is worship? When people say that something is worshipped, they mean that the worshippers love that thing (whatever it is) with all their heart, mind and spirit and strive devotedly to obey the will of that thing they worship. They do all they can to please that thing they worship even if it is to offer sacrifice to it. God demands that we love Him with all our heart, mind and spirit. He demands that we love man also as God has loved us. This love to God and to man is practised devotedly in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. God therefore dwells with us in this kingdom and manifests His power immensely in this kingdom.
In this present generation, it is only Leader Olumba Olumba Obu that has this absolute love; love for all men, love without hypocrisy. That is why in February 14, 1942 He openly declared that any human being that will do anything to annoy Him even for one second, He will give whatever that person demands. No body has been able to annoy Him because He loves man and endures man.
14.20 Love; the secret of our power
To those who want to know the source of power in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, the answer is that they should love all men including their enemies and love God also. Love is God and God is almighty power. Wherever a person or people love God devotedly and sincerely and also love one another and practise this love devotedly in their life, God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit will dwell in the person or people.
When the Trinity indwells you, all spirits, angels and demons and every creation will take instruction from you. Leader Olumba Olumba Obu is the totality of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star and He is divine Love. He is the power manifested therein and in them.
Teach this wonderful revelation from the Supernatural Teacher, the Holy Spirit incarnate who is assigned to teach and lead the world to the wisdom of truth. But fortunately for us all, God came down Himself, to be persecuted of man to the extent of shedding His precious blood. This is the time of judgement and whoever obeys shall be saved but any that disobeys will be destroyed.
Many waste their precious time and energy investigating Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. For how long will you continue to research into the Kingdom? Did your great-grand parents not research and finally die in their course of investigation? The Protestants had protested against Catholicism and separated themselves from the Catholic Church. Are the Protestants themselves righteous? Other groups came out recently calling themselves Born-again and Pentecostal dissociating themselves from the Protestants. What good fruits have the so-called Born-again and Pentecostal yielded? The Romans who killed the disciples of Christ and later founded Catholicism were they righteous? Did the Greeks produce good leadership? Have the Israelites, the Arabs, the Americans and the other races produced any good leadership to the world? Was the Roman Empire a good one? That is the same problem that has eaten deep into the fabric of human existence. But blessed are those who know this truth as taught here and practise it.
A stroke of the cane is enough for the wise. Those who have ears Let them hear. May God bless His holy words; Amen
THANK YOU FATHER
