Everlasting Gospel
First Lesson : GALASIAN 5: 25-26
If we live in the spirit, let us also walk in the spirit. Let us not be desirous of vainglory, provoking one another, envying one another.
Second lesson: PHILIPPIANS 3: 3- 4
For we are the circumcision, which worship God in spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more;
Golden Text: GALATIAN 3: 27-29
For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's then are ye Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise.
33.1 Abraham: The father of all nations of God
All the religions of the world say they are worshipping God. But they engage in quarrels, fighting and hatred of one another for one reason or the other. Where are they as regards God's injunction stated above in the first lesson?
Brethren, where do the Muslims take their argument from? The Christians too, where do they take theirs from? Where do the Bahái Faith take theirs from? The believers and followers of Buddhism, Judaism and Hinduism, where do they take theirs from? There is only one Abraham and we are the children of Abraham through the spirit. So there is no division and there is no need to say I am this or that, or I belong to this faith or that faith. Therefore, go and show them this portion of the word of God stated in the first lesson.
Right from Genesis Abraham is known as our first father. He is the spiritual father of the entire world by faith in God. Then Abraham begot Isaac, Isaac begot Esau and Jacob, but it was in Jacob the Jewish genealogy was established. Abraham also begot Ishmael and the Muslim genealogy derives from here. Esau also called Edom, is the progenitor of the Edomites. Therefore, all of them, Jews, Muslim, Edomites, are from on stock, one father, Abraham and we are all the children of Abraham. Once you are a child of Abraham, you have been given the Holy Spirit indicating that you are a child of God and all children of Abraham are children of God. We have one Spirit, one Father, One Lord, one King, one Master, one Teacher, and these makes us an indivisible whole, the collection of God's children.
33.2 The Holy Spirit the Comforter shall lead
Holy Prophet Mohammed had told his followers when they went to him and asked him “Master, as things are now, who are we going to follow?” He answered them, “personally I do not know who you are to follow, but when the Comforter even the Holy Spirit will come, He will lead you to the accurate wisdom of truth” Now we have seen the manifestation of those words. He the Holy Spirit has come and has led us to the accurate knowledge of wisdom and truth. There is neither Jew nor Greek, slaves or free, male or female. So cancel such vain words from among you. For all those who are baptized into Christ have clothed themselves with Christ and are one in Christ Jesus. There is no division throughout the whole universe. If you belong to Christ then you are Abraham's seed and heir according to the promise in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Brethren now the Holy Spirit the Comforter has come and set up God's kingdom, Brotherhood of the Cross and Star and all of us have been brought into one sheep fold with the Comforter charging and directing us into all truth. There is no sectionalism as far as the things of God are concerned now. We are all of the same stock, and children of the same God our father in Christ Jesus.
33.3 The unifying Spirit:
Go out into the world and show them this truth so that they will refrain from uttering useless and vain words. Abraham is the father of the entire world and the father of potential future generations, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ Amen. God did promise us the Comforter, the Holy Spirit. Now it is that Spirit who has come and there is no other Spirit in operation in the world. In that same Spirit we have one Father, one Lord, one King, one Master, and one Teacher. That is all, nothing more, nothing less.
But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of a God, it is evident: for, the just shall live by faith. And the law is not for faith: but, the man that doeth them shall live in them. Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, cursed is every one that hanged on a tree:
That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Brethren, I speak after the manner of men, though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth it or added thereto.
Now to Abraham and his seeds, were the promise made. He saith not, and to seeds, as of many; but as one, and to thy seed, which is Christ.
And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of non effect. For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise. Wherefore, then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.
(Galatians 3: 11-20)
33.4 Oneness through the Spirit:
Brethren, have you understood the contents of that reference text? Our Lord Jesus Christ is the Son of God and those who have received the Holy Spirit are one brethren having one God. Therefore there is no need for one to make vain utterances that you are from this group or that group or you are this or that. We are all the children of God; and all those who believe in God are co-opted into this sonship. This covenant was made when the wife of Abraham, Sarah, was pregnant and bore a son Isaac.
33.5 Reconciliation of Abraham's household:
You will recall that Abraham had got a son from his housemaid, Hager. The child's name was Ishmael. But when Sarah saw the son of Hager, Ishmael, mocking her son Isaac, she became offended and asked Abraham to cast out this maid and her son.
Her grouse was that the maid and her son should not be co-heir with her son, Isaac. This thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight on account of his son. But God said unto Abraham, “let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad and because of thy hand maid, in all that Sarah your wife has told you, hearken unto her voice, because he has no share in your house, and in Isaac shall thy seed be called”. Therefore Abraham's heart was laid to rest and he cast out Ishmael the son of the housemaid Hager. This has brought the perennial controversy among the descendants of Isaac and Ishmael. Now with the coming of the Holy Spirit, a new period of reconciliation has been proclaimed. This is because we are one entity. That is why you see that Moslems have no problem with Brotherhood of the Cross and Star because we are one entity. And all Christians and those who believe in God throughout the whole world are the children of God, in the name of our Lord Jesus Amen.
33.6 Let oneness be declared:
Therefore you should no longer cause any division whether you are a woman or a man, an old or a young man, no matter what and who you are, and in which religion you are. We are all one entity and there is only the Holy Spirit in operation. Therefore brethren, go and declare this truth to every person in the world, declare to the Moslems, the Roman Catholic, the Bahai Faith, the Hindus, the Buddhist, the Christians, the Born Again, the Religionists, the Self acclaimed preachers of the word, the Religions of the world, that whosoever does not know this truth, that he is Abraham's son; such a person is a child of perdition.
Why is Abraham being referred to as the father of all nations? The answer is not far fetched: by circumcision, which is a must for every male child. It was God covenant with Abraham's seeds.
33.7 Unification of Christians and Moslems:
Brethren, before Abraham sent Hager and Ishmael away, God ordered him to bless Hager and her son Ishmael and Abraham obeyed and blessed them and handed over the glory of his own (Ishmael) inheritance to him. Remember Abraham, and precisely Isaac, blessed Jacob and handed over the inheritance of the Jews to them. These two actions in the final analysis mean that we are all one and blessed. Therefore all those from the family of Abraham are one entity. Do not cause division or sectionalism saying I am from Oron, or from Lagos or from the north or south or any where else in the world. No; such claims do not stand.
All those born of spirit, they have only this one glory and we are all one. Therefore having known this truth, do not indulge in the act of division any longer that the Moslems are a different entity from the Christians and the Jews in Judaism. All what you had said and done in the past was done out of ignorance; but now that the Holy Spirit has come; the truth has been laid bare to our understanding and acceptance. If the Holy Spirit is taken away from anybody now, his existence in the world is useless. The same will happen to any group of people on earth who lose the Holy Spirit.
33.8 The negativity of polygamy in Islam:
For my children in Islam, their main problem is that they are given to marrying many wives, the maximum number of them being four. But such actions and behaviors do not come in here because we are the children of God, the children of Abraham and he had only one wife Sarah who gave birth to only one son Isaac. We have one Christ, one God, and we are expected to pay obeisance and all glory and honour and reverence to Him at all times. You are charged to express mercy, love and humility and all the virtues of God in all the things you do. We have but one indivisible God and that is why you see us kneel down and knock our heads on the ground, and bow in reverence to Him. For we all are the children of God and we worship God in spirit and in truth because there is only one God; Jehovah God and his Christ.
33.9 Expectation from God's children:
As God's children we are expected to behave the way God appreciates and as Abraham's children we are expected to behave as those who believe in God people from the same father, the same stock, one God, one Holy Spirit. We do not practice polygamy but we follow after our father Abraham who practiced monogamy and that is what God has approved because when you marry more than one wife, two or three or more, problems are bound to set in and the family becomes a combative place.
This explains some of the problems you find in the world and such practices are inadmissible and alien to us in this kingdom as God's children. We are to practice what God wants in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ Amen. That is why it is stated in the scriptures that we are Abraham's seed in Isaac and heirs according to the promise. Abraham married one wife, Sarah, who gave birth to an only son, Isaac. Then Isaac married one wife Rebecca who gave him two children, Esau and Jacob. But as things were, initially our father Abraham had no child. Sarah, Abraham's wife bore no children for him but she had a maid, an Egyptian whose name was Hagar. Then Sarah addressed her husband Abraham; “behold now, I am unable to bear you any child, but I have a handmaid here, well go into her. It may be that I shall obtain children by her.” That was the beginning of all these problems in the world between Jews and the Arabs. Abraham hearkened to the voice of Sarah and tried his luck and went into Hager and she conceived and bore him a son, Ishmael. After the birth of Ishmael, Sarah also conceived and bore a son, Isaac, for Abraham.
33.10 The uselessness of mortal claims:
Ishmael is who the Moslems originate from. The people regarded Isaac as the second son because according to them, Ishmael is the first son of Abraham and therefore Moslems are the first born. But as later Sarah bore a son Isaac for Abraham, and Sarah is the legitimate and real wife, the descendants of Isaac insist that Isaac is the real son and heir and not Ishmael. But all such arguments have no need at all and is of no value now. Therefore let us do away with our differences, those little things which we consider as important to us because they do not yield any useful purpose nor bring any progress to us. Let us unite as one and form this bond “love one another”. Let us shun acts that tend towards tearing us apart but let us champion and promote those actions that rather unite us together as a people, a set of God's children and as Abraham's children because we have one God and one father.
Second lesson: PHILIPPIANS 3: 3- 4
For we are the circumcision, which worship God in spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more;
33.11 Claims and arguments: The work of ignorance:
Brethren have you understood this issue? For it is we who are the circumcision, we worship God in spirit and in truth and we glory in our Lord Jesus Christ. But now as things are, people out of ignorance had wrongly conceived such ideas that since Sarah the officially wedded wife of Abraham was not the first to give birth to a male child but her maid Hager first bore a son Ishmael for Abraham, that Ishmael is the first son of Abraham. Another school of thought also holds something and says that since Abraham was the person who impregnated Hager, Ishmael is the first son and heir to his father's estate, even though Hager was not his legitimate wife. These are the arguments now at stake. The Moslems claim that Ishmael is the first son while the Jews and Christians regard Isaac as the first son, the real child and heir of Abraham because Sarah is the legal wife. But now all those arguments do not pay and should be abandoned by all.
33.12 Season for correction:
Let us now correct our selves, for the Comforter the Holy Spirit has come. Let us bury our differences, let us not waste our time and energy in fruitless arguments, who is the first or who is the second. Rather, all must unite because we come from the same father.
The God of unification, the Holy Spirit, has come. He comes to unite all mankind into one family of God. All past position, prophecies and belief on our identities have been fulfilled and now set aside. This is the age of spiritual reconstruction in the world and we are now one family of God.
That is why I come to unite the whole world into one entity in love, mercy, humility, meekness, peace, and the Holy Spirit. There is no more division and quarrelling, in the name of our lord Jesus Christ.
Let us wipe away all differences and acts that have caused division among mankind and embrace love and unity which is the bed rock of our faith. The Holy Spirit is in charge and He is the only true and righteous judge.
Golden Text: GALATIAN 3: 27-29
For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's then are ye Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise.
33.13 Claims to superiority are not productive
We are in a new spiritual covenant with God. It is new dispensation. There is no more argument as to who is the first or the second son, or who is superior to the other, the Moslems or the Christians. The long awaited kingdom of God is here now on earth with man. It is the kingdom of the Holy Spirit. Both Christians and Moslems and in-fact all religions revealed by God to man have been waiting for the arrival of the Holy Spirit. He is the Teacher and Guide and shall lead man to truth. This kingdom is for all, whether it be Christians, Moslems, Hindus, Buddhist or other children of God where ever they are in their religion. Believe in God, accept God manifest now into your life and practice the teaching of God the Holy Spirit now with man. Receive baptism into the kingdom Brotherhood of the Cross and Star in the of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and you have put on Christ. You are now a member of God's household and kingdom now on earth
The scripture declares that all of you who are baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ, because our Lord Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Therefore, do not argue again; do not worry yourselves saying this person is better than the other person. No such thing exists. We are all the children of the most High God moving together in humility and in love, in submission unto God. Just as Abraham loved God and submitted himself unto him, we all must submit ourselves unto God because a good child must resemble his father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ Amen.
FIRST WITNESS: GALATIANS 4: 28 -30
“Now we brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the spirit, even so it is now. Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bond woman shall not be heir with the son of the free woman”.
33.14 In God all are free: All prophecies and promises of God now fulfilled
Brethren that is judgment unto the whole world. The contents of the text are self explanatory. Can you now see where your problems and the problems of the whole world come from? It was a problem for one to marry a woman from another place not of his birth then because each of them has his or her different traditions to follow. Have you heard what God says? Get rid of the slave woman and her son: for the slave woman's son will never share in the inheritance with the free woman son. So it was then. But now it is time of unification for all because freedom has come and division is no longer needed. All those minor differences conceived out of ignorance which had been the cause of division have been taken away since we are one. For God had also promised that he will make a nation out of the son of the maid because “he is thy seed”
That promise has been accomplished also and fulfilled. Ishmael has produced the nation of the Arabs and produced a great religion of God, Islam. We also know that Isaac has produced the nations of Israel in Jacob and Edom in Esau. The children of Isaac, Esau and Jacob, have produced great religions also. Jacob has produced two great religions of God, Judaism and Christianity. Esau's descendants of the clan of Teman in Edom, are the first fruits of the new kingdom of God on earth, Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. It is the kingdom of the Holy Spirit and is for all people and all nations. That is why you find that in all the nations of the earth, the children of Abraham are the greatest of all other children. There are no questions of free born or bond children any more. All are free born and of God.
2ND WITHNESS: GALATIANS 4: 25 - 27
“For this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and answered to Jerusalem which now is and in bondage with her children. But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. For it is written, rejoice, thou barren that beareth not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath a husband”
33.15 We are one family of God
Hager was a maid to Sarah. The text above says that Hager, even though Mount Sinai in Arabia answers to Jerusalem, where Sarah abided.
Remember it was Sarah who convinced Abraham and gave Hager to Abraham. So Hager comes from Sarah in spirit even if physically from Sinai. When Abraham had no child, God promised him that he will be the father of all nations. Now the words of God are fulfilled. Whether in spirit, or in truth, one thing is sure; God's promise to Abraham is fulfilled. Now, all the children of God that are born are the children of God and Sarah is their mother. All of Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and infact all nations of God where God is worshipped and accepted as our Father, are of Abraham and Sarah. We are all one family.
Brethren I will not be tedious to you. Let those who have ears to hear, hear what God has imparted to the world, may God bless his holy words.
THANK YOU FATHER
