THE CHRIST MAN

First lesson: Ephesians 6: 11 17 Put on the whole armor of God that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the ruler of the darkness of this world, against the spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girded about with truth and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God. Second Lesson: 1ST Timothy 6: 11 But thou, o man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love patience, meekness. Golden Text: Philippians 3: 20 - 21 For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state. For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ. 34.1 Changed by God unto glory Brethren, have you seen what is obtainable now? What God has started revealing as far as this week is concerned is greater than what we have been hearing. The fact is that all along you have only been coming here to play and sometimes hear some of the words of God. Our Lord Jesus Christ said that the resurrection of the dead is real, but on your part you do not know what has actually brought you here. Also you do not know what you have come to receive here as well as what you are lacking. Right from yesterday these things were being revealed to us. Your flesh has now been changed into his own likeness so that you will be able to overcome all principalities. You are free to march on the ground any how you like and wherever you go, He has injected the power of Holy Spirit into you. Hence, if you enter into fire it will be quenched, if you go into water it dries. Right from when God created the world none has ever been changed. That is the reason man does not have power but since our Lord Jesus Christ has come and made promise that He has come to change man to His likeness, nothing else shall rule. That is how He took over the rulership of everything in existence, for if you do not have power given to you as I have said before, what will you rule with? 34.2 I come to teach and change man Therefore brethren, the call which has been extended to you is not useless. Those who have been coming here each day undergo a change. I had earlier said that my job is to teach and change you all because if this evil flesh is not changed to the flesh which will never die, how will you live and succeed? After all if somebody just slaps your head, you will wither. Also if one gives you a blow you will fall apart. If somebody blows substances at you, you will fall apart. You are just like a toad that grows very fat but once whipped, it dies. No, I do not want you to remain so but I want to adorn you spiritually so that you may mortify the flesh for the spirit. This is exactly what brother Paul waited for. He waited with all amount of expectation as concerning when our Lord Jesus Christ shall descend from above and change man from this evil and deadly flesh into his likeness. All those things have manifested in this last generation. Then what do you think about yourself? If you happen to perish what do you think is the cause of your death? This is the time for us to be changed. I have told you that I have neither brought money or motor car for you but I have come to change this flesh and mortify it for the spirit. The fact is that if you mortify the flesh for the spirit, immortality is yours. That is why these things are not to be joked with or discussed in a joking manner because it is the main task God has come to accomplish. This task is to change the flesh that dies and the flesh of evil into the flesh which dies no more and that which does not commit evil any more. For by putting on the incorruptible body nothing disturbs you any longer. For it is stated in 1st Corinthians 15: 49 thus: “And as we have borne the image of the earthly, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly”. 34.3 The incorruptible body of God's children: The image of the heavenly is not possible if the flesh of all the children of God is not mortified and the spirit is put in them. Once you acquire the spirit it is finished and immortality is yours. Upon putting on the incorruptible body, even if you are shot with the use of the gun, you will still be alive. Again you are no longer faced with problems because you no longer have them. Nobody also has any power over you again, once this power is bestowed upon you. The scripture states in 1st Corinthians 15: 52 thus: “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” Now, is this not the said work of transformation? There is no point of you deciding to relax with whatsoever comes in handy to you, because the Father will not tolerate such, since it is only he who endures to the end that shall be saved. Are you aware of that? For you to request for money from God is not the major thing. To request for children, clothing, shoes, and earthly riches, is not important. But that your corruptible bodies be changed to that of incorruptible is the major thing which cannot be done by you. Have not realized these words? The First lesson has shown what you are to put on before you can gain the authority you so desire. The Second lesson has also shown us same and our Golden text has revealed that if you are not in spirit you cannot gain eternal life. How can you also overcome? Because he was in spirit that is why our Lord Jesus Christ overcomes the world. It is said that he who is sent by the Father speaks the word of God. Once this word of God is put in you, is it not all? It is a different case for money from God, even when God says, alright go, money, child, house, motor, etc. have been given to you. The issue at stake is that of transformation of the flesh which dies to the flesh which will never dies in eternity. It is to change the flesh to His likeness so that you will be able to dwell with Him eternally. Meanwhile you are busy running up and down with the claim that you have already received the word of God. How many of his words have you received? Now, are your eyes not opened? The answer is, it is. One would say I have heard enough of the word of God. Having heard it, where is its reflection on you? When you kneel down for one minute, your knee begins to ache. While passing by if one says woe betide you, it pains you so much. Everything that comes to your hearing disturbs you a lot. But when your body is built as a concrete building, you will no longer worry or have problems. You can see that the old mud or thatch house has been demolished and a new foundation stone setting is now in progress. Once it is completely built, you would be that foundation stone and be exactly like him. Were you aware of the fact that this is what is needed? Now have you not seen that? You complain each day that, one is enjoined to refrain from sin and how can one forsake sins? Well, if you do not forsake sin you will die. Just demolish the body of flesh and all that sinfulness is gone. You have been built a solid stone which is the truth, mercy, patience, love and godly qualities. Have you not seen all those amours being put on you? The foundation is sure because a child must resemble his father. Brethren I do not want to take you far. Let our first lesson be re-examined. You should listen with rapt attention so that you may know the qualities used to erect this concrete building. That is to change you in order for you to be like him. First lesson: Ephesians 6: 11 17 Put on the whole armor of God that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the ruler of the darkness of this world, against the spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girded about with truth and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God. 34.4 The need to always be in Spirit: Like the prophets who went to Kano, if they had gone there ordinarily, would war not have come about there? If the journey was embarked upon by ordinary fellows, would war not have erupted? In this case they succeeded because they were in the spirit. Whatever you do there without the Holy Spirit is nothing. Wherever you may go, realize that you are walking on a solid rock when you are in spirit. That is why I enjoin you not to drink wine any longer yet you are busy drinking wine. I also enjoin you not to snuff again but you continue to snuff. Now what does such a person desire? I mean that person who continues snuffing, eating fish and meat, fornicating, after being told not to do so. What in essence does such a person desire? Does he desire power? What is his desire here because the aim of being here is to give you power, to make you be exactly like Christ. 34.5 You have received power now: The work of changing you has begun now in you. If you therefore were formally a thief once you are told not to steal again, the idea of stealing is discarded by you. If you were a fornicator and are enjoined not to fornicate any more, you stop it immediately. If you were a murderer, you are told not to murder again you will stop it. Likewise all other sins. Moreso you are enjoined to sustain life. The spirit of truth and love is given to you. The word of God is also given to you. All such things are given to you in order that you become a concrete building. That is the reason I do not have problems with you. Rome was not built in a day. You have been taught and changed forthwith. I know people who are here, who seek for power. I also know those who are ignorant hence they seek for money and vain things of the world. if one is desirous of this power, he has to humble himself, forgo all that he was in the past, receive theses words and put same into practice. By so doing the words would then destroy the spirit of fornication, stealing, wanting money and all vices. You would then be demolished and recreated thereby becoming that concrete building worthy of God and wherever you go such a place becomes problem free. Also your appearance at wherever you go will be like a thunder storm. 34.6 Christ had no power to change man Our Lord Jesus Christ did not give this power to any person or change anyone. He did not have such power to change anybody. He only said, go, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, heal the sick etc. but He did not change anybody. He promised to change man during his second advent. Based on that promise, this is now the time to change and remove you from foolishness into wisdom and cloth you with the spiritual armor. Due to this fact, have you not witnessed the world shouting that it is no longer Jesus but that there is something in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. Yes, there is something in it. Do you not know that there is now something in it? Faith is given to him that did not have it. He who was fond of telling lies can no longer do so. He has changed all manner of shakable flesh. No form of medication functions well in your body again. The words of God have taken dominion in you and you are now the abode of God. None can any longer harm you. I have never witnessed a person with this type of luck. That is the luck of being changed. Have you not seen how you are changed? No matter how sinful one may be, let him come into Brotherhood of the Cross and Star and he will be changed. That evil power will be removed from him while the truth, love, word of God, life patience longsuffering, humility etc will be given to him. 34.7 You are being transformed now These virtues have I brought, hence once you testify, I know where the problems lie and I will score you zero until such a time that you are of my taste before I will remark that it is time. It is quite a different thing to give one money, children, wisdom, beauty but to give out this power of changing man to God's image is what has never existed. Now God has come to change man to his likeness. When our Lord Jesus Christ came and died, all his disciples took to their heels and hid themselves because they did not have power. The case is now different. Here in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, when something happens it is at that instance that someone who had previously backslided identifies once again with Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. Everyone is now steadfast and firm as a rod. Even if it is a little child what does he fear? Who is he that is afraid here? When nothing happens you will discover that there are no people here but once there is something happening, the whole place is filled to the capacity. You who heard rumour of death and applied native white chalk on your body so as to live, you are all now adorned with glory yet you do not know it. How many of you are aware of this fact? Now you are the house of the Holy Spirit. Power, love and all such virtues are indwelling in you. That is why when you say “Let”, all problems cease to exist. Your body is full of power wherever you are and as a result of this should you enter someone's house, all the charms in that house become ineffective and non-existent. That is why people are asking what type of people Brotherhood of the Cross and Star members are, and that it is no longer power of Jesus. A mere handshake from you destroys that person's charms. If people lay an ambush with the aim of harming you, once you get there all the weapons become ineffective and useless. But those of you who are here in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star do not know that once you come into Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, you are changed. Due to your ignorance, for you do not seek to know the truth, what you are after is children, money, motor car, ship etc. Do you not know that our present body is not the previous one? Because of this reason should you accept to taking injection it will not be effective? Likewise every other thing that you may do which is contrary to the will of God is not effective. There is nothing outside God that has power over you any longer. As a result of this the entire world is surprised because this is not a matter of making noise, talking, counting and giving money to somebody or purchasing house for somebody, But this is the spiritual warfare, and power. 34.8 The power given to the children of the resurrection is now yours The power given to us has changed us into the spirit because it is the spirit that is used to fight this war. You should therefore not be noisy wherever you go. Because you hear in spirit, speak in spirit, walk in spirit, see in spirit and it is the spirit that is used in accomplishing this work. You have been told that you are the children of resurrection. Though you are not dead, you are now in spirit because the Father has changed you. That is why you have become the spiritual children as well as the children of God. Note this truth. Are you not here when one of our sisters testified that there was one young woman who was hunted to be killed by a certain man. On the course of the man's search for this woman, he passed by her unknowingly and unconscious of her presence. As the woman walked on she suddenly saw the man afar of in front of her. When she came to where he was standing with a matchet in his hand, she wanted to pass by but the man raised up the matchet in an attempt to kill her. Then the woman shouted “stand still” and the man had no choice but found himself unable to make a move and standing still with the matchet pointing up right. We had such a testimony last year. Another lady went to the farm and was confronted by four men who wanted to behead her. As God would have it, when they came to her, they become paralyzed and could not carry out their plan. So, she tip-toed to the city and informed the people about them. They all finally died with the matchets which they were holding in their hands. In fact, you do not know yourself. Meanwhile people are wondering whether you people, invariably yourself, are ghosts or human beings. None can do you anything. This world is after all totally engulfed within your fist. Everybody is busy questioning, how this fold came about? The more they investigate the less they see. Have you realized the work which the Father has accomplished in you? Who is aware of it? The luck you have in this generation is great. Ever since from the beginning of the world who has ever gone to India to speak and every body there falls down? Little children are taken along on journeys. Do you know what this world is? Now the world is like a rag before you. That is when they will tell you that they had tried to tempt you. Where do they tempt you? Where in essence do they see you? Is it not in the spirit that this war is being fought? Spiritually, when one sees you, will he recognize you? It is a spiritual war. Your bodies are such that when one touches it, such a person sustains injury. Even as you are sitting down, you are right at war. None is inside this hall but you are all outside. You are there everywhere in the world because you have been adorned with glory. That is the reason it was said that those who were waiting for him did so in order for them to be changed by him. Now, the question is: having changed you what will he come to do again? He is here and all of you have been changed. Whatsoever a person is doing, whatsoever he had initiated himself into, have no effect on you. In organizations of Satan and secret societies, when somebody who initiated into them, wants to leave the society, such a person will die. But now you can leave the secret societies and come in here without having problems and nothing happening to you. Wherever you were once you arrive here you will be given life because you will be changed and all those dirty vices in you would be removed and thrown away. And you would be bestowed with power. Whatsoever one is in the world, when he comes in here, even an ant is greater than him until he is transformed. Do you think it is a matter of having the ability to speak eloquently? He has changed all of you into his likeness and has gathered everybody even from here to the western world and everywhere are all sitting together even as we are now. 34.9 India no longer has spiritual power The case of spiritual power in India, have you heard any comment again from them? Now, all the spiritual powers etc. are weakened. All over the western world and in the four corners of the world, nobody is anymore aware of what to do next because the Father has changed all things unto himself. He has taken over the rulership and power. It was told Nebuchadnezzar and interpreted to him by Daniel that there shall come many governments whose power shall arise one after the other but when a certain and only one arise, it will swallow all these other powers in the world. This is now the said power. It was nothing other than this that he (Nebuchadnezzar) saw. The only reigning element now is joy. Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is joy. GOLDEN TEXT PHILIPIANS 3: 20 21 For I have no man likeminded who will naturally care for your state. For all seek their own not the things which are of Jesus Christ's. 34.10 You are christs of God You are children of God. You must listen to the words of God and practice his teaching. You must seek after spiritual things, the qualities of God, so that the Christ spirit in you born now will grow and guide you throughout your life and eternity. This is the purpose of transformation for you. The Father has started on this. You are daily being transformed from what you were before coming here into the required spiritual virtues of God. You are no more the old person you were. You are now also clothed with spiritual power from the Father. You must flee from all evil and abide in God always. Thus the transformation will be permanent and enduring. The Christ man in you will be your eternal heritage. Therefore brethren, I do not intend to take you further. It is said, a stroke of cane is enough for the wise. Let he who has ears, hear may God bless his holy words Amen. THANK YOU FATHER
