Everlasting Gospel
First lesson: 1Corinthians 15: 49
“And as we have borne the image of the earthly, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.”
Second lesson: Luke 5: 38
“But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved.”
Golden text: James 3: 17
“But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.”
5.1 There is no righteous being on earth
The texts above form the theme of our lesson. The fact that you do not have money, food, spouse or any other material thing does not mean that you should debar the Holy Spirit from indwelling you. Your old life of swindling, fornication, falsehood, pomposity, among others should cease henceforth. Make way for the Holy Spirit to come into you and dwell therein. You should know that righteousness has nothing to do with evil. Therefore, you should do away with all evil tendencies so that the Holy Spirit may have a befitting place (in you) to live.
One of my sons, Pastor Offu Ebongo had said that the world is founded on falsehood, craftiness, hatred and all forms of abomination; as such, it cannot stand firmly. Government, churches, schools and even homes are founded on evil. All the inhabitants of the world both black and white have not pleased God. This explains the reason why our Lord Jesus Christ said that:
“Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up” (Matthew 15:13).
Of a truth, the world is founded on all forms of evil. There are very many dishonest people in the world. So many people are ill-treated, disappointed and victimized by the evil ones. A woman for instance, cannot have anything free from a man. If a woman refuses a man's advances, then she cannot succeed in whatever she wanted from him. Female students are victimized by the greedy lecturers whereas the ones who yield to their advances, pass out in flying colours. Even in other establishments (government or private) fornication and adultery are the order of the day and those who refuse the atrocious act are the victims. Women are not left out in this game. They treat men as bad as they (men) do to the women.
Apart from this, money is regarded as the key to every success. If you have no money, then you will miss very many chances of succeeding in life. If you miss your way and ask either a little boy or girl for the right way, he or she will first ask for money before directing you to the right route. Companies collect bribe before helping anybody. In fact, bribery and corruption have become part and parcel of the world system. In offices, every staff must be bribed before anything is done for a person. There is no job opportunity offered free. Every bit of thing which is done in the world has money from people as its priority. Now, another indirect way in which people use in getting money from people is that, when you ask somebody to accompany you to somewhere, he will tell you that he has a business to attend to, the next day and that the business can fetch him ten thousand naira (N10,000.00). Now, this person indirectly wants you to give him N10,000.00. And if you desperately need his company, you will give him the money. Have you seen how tricky people could be?
The whole world is filled with falsehood. Most of the houses you see and the flashy cars around, were all bought through false means and corruption. There is no truth in the world and if you are truthful, you will die of hunger.
If you humble yourself, people will trample upon you and go their way unperturbed. If you are merciful, people will take away all your properties and leave you desolate. There is no mercy in the world. Even in your house, if you speak the truth to your wife, she will take it as a lie and when you tell her lies, she will believe you. If you deceive your husband, he will believe you but if you tell him the truth, he will disbelieve you. A married woman has up to ten boy friends. A man will tell you he is married to only one wife but he has chains of concubines. Then the wife will operate on one part of the town while the husband operates on the other part. This is the sordid situation in the world today. If this happens among couples, what would you think can happen to the spinsters and bachelors? Young girls own series of houses and cars among other material things as a result of harlotry, and the boys either swindle, dupe, steal or even rob with arms in order to satisfy girls. Therefore, when one tells you that he or she is rich, if you care to find out the sources of his wealth, you will be dumbfounded.
There is no truth in the whole wide world. That is why Christ said that all things which were not planted by the Father shall be uprooted. Our Lord Jesus Christ knew the things that were not planted by His Father and He would have mentioned them but He did not want it because it was not yet time for Him to reveal them. If one speaks or practises the truth, he will be killed. If you are found helping somebody, you will be regarded as a demented fellow. If you begin to greet the little ones, people will complain and regard you as a foolish person. But the question is, why was Christ crucified? He healed the sick, made the blind to see and the lame to walk, free of charge. He was accused of healing on the Sabbath day, they then decided to crucify Him because they said he brought confusion amongst them. If you are a village head, you have to be a murderer, a thief, a swindler, a fornicator etc., else, you can never be allowed to exist as a village head. You have to give account of the people you have killed and how much you can steal before you are allowed to rule.
You are a witness to the fact that, most people boast of the number of people they have murdered. They claim to be omnipotent and that if anybody should provoke them, they can show him that they are this and that. With this, people will hold them in high esteem. If you come across people who are said to be strong, know that such people indulge in all forms of atrocities. If you should refuse taking alcoholic drink, people will regard you as a woman, in fact weaker than a woman. If you drink and enjoy yourself, you will be regarded as a gentleman. If you do not believe in fornication women will sarcastically call you eunuch and both men and women would never take you for anything. Can you argue? If you give out anything freely, you will be regarded as a foolish person.
So beloved do not be deceived. When you get to a place where lawyers and doctors park their cars and display their wealth, do not be dazed because they are founded on falsehood and deceit; no truth is found in them. When you come across anything which people praise so much and they put their money and wealth into it, know that it is all deceit. That is why Christ said,
I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. (John 5: 43).
There is one brother a newly baptised member) who testified that, if it were in his former church, the information officer, brother Eyo Okon would never be seen or talked to, without money being given to him. This is quite true and this is what is going on, all over the world. If you do not tell lies, pay money at the gate or 'love' a person, he can never open the gate for you.
Children indulge so much in necromancy more than their parents. The university students initiate into different secret societies. The lawyers and doctors have assorted protective charms. In the entire world, nobody wants God. People are much after suppressing others; they have nothing to do with God. Nations fight against others for the purpose of testing their weapons and capabilities. But God does not advise any nation to fight against another nation. The intertribal wars are as a result of one tribe trying to know who is who, thereby killing thousands of people for nothing sake. They set aside a period of time to see who can win the fight. They have no regards for human life. Right from the time of Adam till date, this is exactly what is going on.
5.2 The Armageddon war
The first lesson has rightly stated that, “as we have borne the image of the earthly, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly” (1 Corinthians 15 : 49). Now the image of the heavenly has arrived, every foolish act should stop forthwith. This is the reason why the Armageddon war will be waged. Most people believe in voodoo so much that, if they want to build a house, they must apply it. If they start any business, they use voodoo means. Other things like wrestling, trading, hunting, farming, etc. have their foundation rooted in voodoo. Now they have reached their wits end. I had earlier told you that the spirit that is now on earth has never visited the earth but now. He has arrived in a big way.
If you visit some communities, you will be advised not to go out at night because of the masquerade that operates at night and when you want to know exactly what they are doing, you will see that it is nothing but their foolish 'game' (killing people). And if you should go out, your head would be chopped off. 'Obon' and 'Ekpe' societies believe in killing people. They do these things without recourse to God. When you are told that a village is about to celebrate any festival, know that they are about to practise their evil deeds of killing people. And if they should hear that our Lord Jesus Christ is coming, they will shout that they do not want any Jesus in their midst, for they are the real Jesus. Can you see the foolishness of the world?
Now recall the story of David. Saul requested for three hundred human heads because David sought his daughter's hand in marriage. To David, that was nothing. He went and killed three hundred people and gave the heads to Saul. Most people have no regards for human life therefore, murder, to them is nothing. People regard stealing, killing and necromancy as their priority. The cocaine they sniff is for them to be 'high' so that they may be able to carry out their evil deeds but I want you to realise that, it is the mark of the earthly man. Right now, if the people of the world refuse to repent of all those deeds, they all will see what shall befall them.
5.3 What is a Church?
Church does not mean the physical house built for worship of God. It is the human being that is God's house. You are the church, the house of God. The drunks have their own church; the thieves have theirs, their president and members. The fornicators also have their own church. Right now, you are complaining that you do not like what the armed robbers are doing, but little do you realise that your husband is an armed-robber. Are you aware of that?
5.4 Those who do not accept the truth will be punished severely
All the so-called important men are those who commit all forms of atrocities. What was the cause of John's death? King Herod married his brother's wife but John told him that it was not right for him to do that and he became annoyed with John. Since he did not want to be accused of killing a prophet, he rather imprisoned him. Then when he celebrated his birthday, the daughter of that woman (Herodias) he married from his brother danced so dexterously that Herod asked her to request for whatever she wanted. Instead of her to request that she would love to be a queen, she ran to her mother and asked her what she should request from the king. Since her mother was not happy with John, the mother advised her to request for John's head. And you may ask, what was in John's head? This shows the extent to which man could be wicked. She ran to Herod and told him that she wants John's head and Herod was sad about that because he had promised to give her whatever she requested for. So he ordered two men to go to the prison yard and bring John's head in a platter of gold. As it was in those days, so it is today. Whenever you tell people the truth, they will deal with you ruthlessly. But right now the Truth has arrived in a big way. Anybody who does not accept this Truth shall be severely dealt with.
Nothing takes anyone unawares in this kingdom. It is a laid down fact that, a time shall come when righteousness shall abound. It was revealed to Nebuchadndzar that kingdoms shall rise and fall and that a kingdom shall come which shall dominate the other kingdoms and the kingdom shall endure for ever (Daniel 2 : 44). When you say, “man pass man, position pass power” I laugh at you. Why should you make such a statement? The right thing should be, “power pass position” In other words, power is more important than position. What do people use in taking your property forcefully? Is it not power? What aided the whites in collecting our land and other things? Was it not power? What do the Moslem and even Christians nations use in causing all these troubles in the world? Is it not power? Anybody who is more powerful than you, is stronger than you, and can even swallow you up. The kingdom of God is nothing else than power. You could fall off from the altar and people laugh at you, calling you a little rat. That is exactly what is going on in the world. This explains the reason why Jesus the Christ spoke through Paul that “the kingdom of God is not in words but in power”. (1 Corinthians 4 : 20).
5.5 God is power
God is power. He rules with power. Nebuchadnezar became a beast for seven years. Pharaoh and his armies perished in the Red Sea. Herod was killed by just an angel. These show that God is power. He rules with power else, He would not rule. Right now, He has come with power, love, patience, wisdom, mercy and all the virtues one could think of but men call Him derogatory names. The world has reached its wits end. The Jehovah's Witnesses earlier prophesied about the Armageddon war. The war is now on. If you do not call yourself to order, you will be dealt with. As you had borne the image of the earthly, so must you bear the image of the heavenly. You have to practise love, peace, mercy, humility, temperance etc., These are what will rule now. His reign shall have no end.
5.6 The Almighty God is on earth.
The God who created the heavens and earth has come to reign forever. There was a house built in Orlu for 42 years now without being occupied by anybody and whoever attempted to occupy that house died off. No church or any other establishment was able to operate in that house but today Brotherhood of the Cross and Star has succeeded in occupying that building and people are shocked to their bones to see Brotherhood members using that abandoned house Do you think Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is a play thing? Have you ever seen somebody speaking so authoritatively? Native doctors surrender for this God. I want you to know that this is as a result of what was prophesied of Him. Anybody who tries to rebuke a sinner openly is often treated unruly. It is God alone who can do that successfully. You should also know that whatever happens comes at the fullness of time. Read the first lesson again.
First lesson: 1 Corinthians 15 : 49
“And as we have borne the image of the earthly, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.”
5.7 The new world order
Beloved, the above text is self explanatory. The spirit that came from Adam was earthly but it later became the quickening spirit which was heavenly. For the fact that man possesses the earthly spirit, he continues doing that which is bad. He continues doing that which he is forbidden. In fact, nothing good has ever been found in man. Christ, the quickening spirit has arrived to change things to their normal state. He is the one existing now and He is the all and all. Right now, you have to do away with all forms of evil else, you shall be destroyed. This is not that old world which you believed in killing, stealing, fornicating, etc. We are now in the new world and everything must be new. So as you bore the image of the earthly, you should also try to bear the image of the heavenly, otherwise you will perish.
Love has arrived. No more discrimination or segregation but joy prevails. He has conquered death and hades. But for Him, no one would live. He has conquered heaven and earth. He had said.
“In my Father's house we have many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you”. (John 14 : 2).
He has come to take us unto Himself and so, nothing can raise its ugly head against His children.
Your problem is that you come into Brotherhood of the Cross and Star with your old ways of life and it is most unfortunate. We do not require fornication, swindling, robbery and quarreling here. We do not require necromancy here. Do away with the old behaviour because new wine must be put into a new wine skin. Some claim they are members of secret societies, and I bet them, if they come here with their false power, they will meet their wits end. Those who know the power in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star do not come here with any problem. They know the fold does not require any form of unrighteousness, if you are sure you want to be a member of this kingdom, you have to do away with all forms of unrighteousness and abide by the teachings given here by God.
There is a Christ's servant by name Mfon who preached at her station that there is no witchcraft, juju and mermaid. And a pastor in a church also preached on this topic but unfortunately for him, the members of these cults attacked this pastor in the night and in the following morning, he found himself lying outside, naked. Afraid of the situation, the pastor got up and packed out of that community. This is a proof that in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star Jesus Christ has taken dominion over everything. He has come down to dwell with us. Therefore, before you succeed in having any relationship with him, you have to refrain from all forms of unrighteousness so that He may indwell you fully and empower you.
5.8 Three days dry fasting
I had told you that this work is not done by money, man, or any of you but it is done by Jehovah God and His Christ. You are a witness to the fact that, after every Pentecostal period, some people used to complain about one form of sickness or the other, and others died. And now, you can see that before any Pentecostal period commences, three days dry fasting must be observed. This fasting is for the body to be serviced and prepared for the Holy Spirit which manifests immensely in our midst during the Pentecostal Assembly. Today, people do not encounter any problem again in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. You are on the solid rock.
Anybody who continues to consult oracles, kill, fight, quarrel, fornicate, tell lies etc., does not love his life. Brethren, the key to this kingdom is for you to refrain from all manners of evil. This is the reason why Christ said that except a man be born again, he shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. That is also the reason why the book - THE FIRST STEP TO GOD is always given to anybody who intends to be a member of this kingdom, so that if the person bore any malice, had been stealing, fighting, quarreling, causing confusion here and there, he would stop forthwith before he is baptised into the new kingdom of God. And when once you forsake all sins, Christ will come in and dwell fully in you.
5.9 Nobody can challenge a true Brotherhood member.
When Peter preached to the people, they were greatly moved and then they asked what they should do, Peter told them to repent and confess their sins, then their sins shall be forgiven and that they shall receive the Holy Spirit as a gift for this promise is for them, their children and their children's children. Christ can never dwell in an untidy house. He can not go to a thief, a swindler, a fornicator, and an adulterous person. And if Christ is not in you, it means you are empty. That is why, when people say that a Brotherhood member was stoned to death or that this or that happened to a Brotherhood member, I want you to know that, that person is not a real Brotherhood member. Any Brotherhood member, who surrenders himself fully to Christ, can never be challenged by anybody.
When people claim that there is something in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, it is true because Jehovah God and His Christ are here. Have you ever been to a place where people do not burn incense, light candles and draw circles but operate with mere words? Fire can never burn you, no gun can shoot you and nothing whatsoever can raise its ugly head against you if you surrender yourself to God. It is our Lord Jesus Christ who is operating and nothing else.
5.10 God now dwells with man
What made God to leave Adam and Eve was because of sin and what has made Him to come back to man is because God has said that, except a spotless blood is shed, man shall not be reconciled to God. So because of that spotless blood of Christ, man has now been reunited with God. After reuniting man with God, He has come back to dwell with man forever. He has come to take His glory which existed even before the foundations of the world were laid. Since He has come to stay, all sinful acts must be eradicated. All sinners will be dealt with accordingly. Unless you decide to forsake fornication and idolatry, and do everything according to His own directives, you have nothing to do with Him. If you continue in sin, you are fighting against Him and the consequence is great, for it is said, all those who do not want Him to rule should be brought before Him to be killed.
There is a song which is usually sung in this fold which states. 'Who is he that is knocking at the door of my heart, it is me, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, open it and let me come in.” The wordings of this song confirms the scripture at Revelation 3: 20.
“BehoId, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me”.
The owner of the house is now back. Open the door for Him. Drive away the spirit of fornication and of theft etc. so that He may enter and sit on the throne of His glory. Read the second lesson again
Second lesson: Luke 5: 38
“But new wine must be put into new bottles: and both are preserved.”
5.11 The destruction of the ungodly ones
Take example from senior Deaconess Mong. She has stayed in this fold for a long time now and right from the ,first day she was converted, she refrained from all forms of unrighteousness; a thing which many members regard as a useless venture. If you want to be a real member of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, refrain from all forms of sinfulness and surrender yourself wholly to Christ. If you were a member of any society, withdraw your membership. And from the moment Christ indwells you, you will have no problem of any sort. He will do everything for you.
Stop searching for money. Desist from looking into the sky, expecting Christ to descend into the world, for He is already here on earth. He is the Holy Spirit. He does not live in any other place but in a righteous house (man). The house which He cleansed with His precious blood is His dwelling place. It is said that a new wine must be put into a new wine-skin. If you refrain from all forms of unrighteousness. He will come in and start a new life for you.
It is said that upon all the things created by God, man is the most foolish. Sometime ago, a man from Esene in Akwa Ibom State of Nigeria came visiting the Father. And as usual, the Father gave him a hand shake. When he got home, he confessed that he almost collapsed at the spot after the Father's handshake. Then his co-members blamed him for visiting the Father with his juju (charms). They told him that he should not have brought them to Calabar, for they usually keep away theirs and even undergo fasting before visiting the Father. And added that later they usually return to their charms. Such is man's level of understanding. Very many people do not know that whoever comes here with evil intentions usually returns empty because once I give them a handshake, all evil forces are automatically discharged and all the charms they had at home become useless and Christ will then take over His 'house'.
No matter what you do from that time, it has no more effect. Most members of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star were not prepared to become members of the fold. They came as spies but on reaching here, the Father got hold of them, overcame them and gave them salvation. He brought to us mercy. He came to wash and sanctify us, to change us, to make everything to become new and to salvage us from the bondage of the world and make us remain with Him forever.
5.12 The Holy Spirit dwells in a clean place
The Holy Spirit can never make you get sick. He can never kill you. He can never deceive you. He can never make you become poor or a greedy man. Rather He came to sanctify you, make you to be rich, make you to be loving, merciful and give you eternal life. As soon as you are sanctified, the Holy Spirit will indwell you and when He indwells you, you do not have to sin again else, you will put yourself in a more serious (worst) condition. When you see people falling sick, know that they have done something contrary to the glory of God hence, the Holy Spirit departs from them because a new wine must be put into a new wine skin. The Holy Spirit does not require any evil within you. Once you commit fornication, He leaves you and abandons that 'house', and it will collapse. He does not get annoyed with anybody. He dwells in a clean place. He says,
“Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.” (Matthew 5:48).
This explains the reason why you are told not to eat meat, fish etc., that you should not fornicate, tell lies, begrudge, hate or commit any other sin. You are told to live peaceably with all men. A new wine must be put in a new wine-skin - a new spirit must dwell in a new flesh.
This teaching is a new wine therefore. You must abide by it and live according to it. Never ever say,' do me I do you'. Visit the juju priest no more. Pour libations no more, lament and weep no more, for all these are old wine. If you do these things, the Holy Spirit will depart from you. Since you had decided to flee from all the things of the world, you must now live according to the injunctions of the Holy Spirit. You should possess love, humility, peace, patience, kindness, all virtues and as you do this, you will have no more problems. You must put a new wine into a new wine-skin for it to be preserved. But if a new wine is put into an old wine-skin, it will burst and the wine will pour on the floor.
5.13 Tell the world to come and hear God's words
You are told not to kill, steal, fornicate, hate or commit any other sin yet you still commit these sins. Who is to be blamed? Have you seen why many of you have problems, and why you can not enjoy this kingdom? Right from today, the entire world, even babies have the chance to come and save their lives. This 'fellowship' is for everybody. Tell your brothers and sisters, members of all churches to come and hear this gospel and be saved. You can never see God elsewhere; His dwelling place is your body and whosoever refrains from all forms of sins, surely dwells in Him. No matter where you may be, He is there with you and makes good use of you Remember the statement which Christ made that:
“But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Spirit hath never forgiveness but is in danger of eternal damnation.” (Mark 3: 29)
This is the era of the Holy Spirit. One of our spiritual choruses says, “the spirit of God, come and lead us right for it was written that you will lead”. Immediately that song is rendered, the Spirit comes in majestically to lead. He rules and controls everything in the world now but the world knows not. This is the reason all countries of the world seem to be in problem. They have rejected the Holy Spirit and His injunctions. They have refused to handover every affair to His care. The entire world is filled with the old wine, they study science and medicine etc., and reject the word of God. This is the reason why the Americans do not know what is going on. The entire world does not know God but the children of God know Him and obey His injunctions because a new wine is put in a new wineskin.
5.14 Those who defile God's temple should beware of the consequence
You all have cause to rejoice because the Holy Spirit is dwelling with you and you should go into the world and spread this good news because nothing on earth can tamper with you. It is written in 1st Corinthians 3:16- 17
“know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you; If any man defiles the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.”
Whoever defiles the temple of God, will be destroyed because our body is the temple of God. You are not to drink wine or take drugs. You are not to eat fish and meat, or tell lies, you are not to begrudge, for all these cause your problems. You are not to continue in the same way of life which you lived in the time past when you were not yet a believer. When our Lord Jesus Christ said that one should be born a new, He meant that we should practise the words of God. It is these words that re-mould us and sanctify us to become new creatures. If you hearken to the words of God and practise them accordingly, you will live a problem-free life and the glory of God will manifest in you.
5.15 God dwells in this kingdom
The spirit of God and Christ cannot be found elsewhere except in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. All the church denominations, the religions of the world and the so-called born again organisations are filled with devil and elementary spirits. The spirit of fornication and of stealing etc. are all found there. You can bear witness to the fact that those places are not the dwelling place of God because the members have all failed to sanctify their hearts. Therefore God can never dwell in them. They truly bear the image of the earthly. Our Lord Jesus Christ said that, He did not come for the righteous but to call the unrighteous so that they may repent. And the Father confirmed His statement as He said that He did not send Christ to judge the world but to save it.
Jesus the Christ said. 'For judgment I came into this world that those who do not see may see and that those who see may become blind (John 9: 29). For saying this, the Pharisees asked Him whether they were blind and He answered them that if they were to be blind, they would have no problems but since they claim not to be blind, their sins would perish with them. Similar to the Pharisees, the religious denominations claim to be too wise but they keep blaspheming against the Holy Spirit, oblivious of the warning against this ungodly act as contained in Mark 5: 29. Read the golden text again.
Golden text. James 3: 17
“But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits without partiality and without hypocrisy.”
5.16 There is need for righteousness
Have you noticed any class division in this fold? Here there is neither man, woman, rich nor poor person etc. we all are the same. The only necessary thing is for one to sanctify him/herself. Flee from fornication, drinks, annoyance, idolatry, telling lies etc. We all must be filled with the virtues of God. This is the new wine referred to. Every one has to be merciful to one another, love every creature, be patient with one another and live peacefully with everybody. Do not impute sins on people and always forgive others. Do not be tricky with others, do not deceive and shun others. Do not get annoyed with anybody, do not curse or disgrace anybody. Try at all times to be filled with love, peace, mercy and kindness. Do not seek people to work for you, always be ready to work for others. Surrender your life for the redemption of others, do everything to others free of charge. Heal, baptise, pray and preach to people free of charge.
In this kingdom, there is no favoritism, no discrimination, no segregation and no preferential treatment. If a governor or a president for instance wants to worship with the Father, he has to share the pews with any other type of members. No special seat would be reserved for him. He would even be made to sit with the children or women. This is the kingdom of God where there is only one flock under one shepherd.
The world hate Brotherhood of the Cross and Star and her members and claim that we are insulting. And the questions are, why should we respect sinners? What has light got to do with darkness? I often say and I am repeating it now that an acclaimed sinner in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is the best man in the world. The children of God render a song which has it that “where ever the spirit of God dwells, there dwells liberty”. Here there is no cheating, we are all one. Nothing like medical treatment here. By mentioning the word, 'let' all your problems are over. In this kingdom, there is nothing like hunger, no loneliness. We are all one. All those who charge for prayers, preaching or any spiritual work should pray fervently for themselves. They are in real trouble and can never go scot-free. Nothing of this sort is permitted here and whoever does it must be punished, for a new wine cannot be preserved in an old wine-skin.
5.17 In Brotherhood of the Cross and Star everything is free
Whoever works for a fee is not a good worker but a hireling. Our Lord Jesus Christ and His disciples worked freely and they received their reward bountifully. Believe fervently that whoever gives, will surely receive. Members of the crusaders' fellowship know this fact. As such, they have been donating greatly. The crusaders do not charge any money for anything they do to others.
Members of other churches charge exorbitantly for any work done to people. If they ask you to pay forty thousand for instance and you plead with them to reduce the charge, they will openly tell you that God does not want them to reduce the amount. And I ask, which God? Is God poor? What does He need money for? Have you seen man's folly? Let it be known that whatever amount is collected from you is not for God but solely for the person who collected the amount. Everything is done here free, baptism is free, you were called free and had been ordained free. Your sickness is healed freely, food is given to you freely, even accommodation here is free, but in the world, there is no free thing. Everything is done with money. If you do not give bribe, you cannot be regarded as anything. These are old wine which are poisonous. In this kingdom, if you decide to steal, that is your own problem because that is an old wine. We have nothing to do with sins. Our duty and in fact, obligation is to do that which is good to everybody. We do not need any body's praises; we do not seek for positions, our work is to help others. Give them love, peace, show them humility, truth etc. I do not preach against any other church or persons. All I do is to make known to them where their errors lie and insist they correct the errors..
5.18 I Came to deliver you
Humility leads to success and glory. And so the first thing which you must possess is humility, followed by patience, kindness, mercy, truth and love. There should be no quarrel, no annoyance our Lord Jesus Christ said:
“Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment and cast lots.” (Luke 23:34).
I too, am saying the same thing. I came to deliver you from your sinful ways of life. Have you seen the long patience possessed by God? It is said whoever wants to be the leader should first make himself a servant. Have you not seen this being practised here? All hands must be on deck, towards the development of the vineyard of God. The lawyers, the royal highnesses and even the president must work for the upliftment of the Father's work. Everybody must go into the vineyard and work, with his resources. Everybody must listen to and practise the gospel. Do not be a burden to another person and do not act as a stumbling block for another person. Do the bit you can and you will be blessed accordingly. God is never stupid. The teaching sent to man from above is for everyone to be helpful to one another. Do not disgrace God or man; live a good life. Do not commit fornication and do not involve yourself in idolatry. This kingdom believes in no other thing but love. Wherever you have problem, call on the Father and He will come to your rescue.
5.19 Be faithful in God and do his words
If you visit the hospital or the necromancers, then you have not surrendered yourself to God. When you cannot exhibit any virtue, then know that you have failed to practise the words of God. The Bible states that;
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved”. (Romans 10:13)
And the question is, how will people call upon His name when they do not have faith in Him and how shall they have faith in whom they have not heard anything of, and how shall people hear about Him when there is no preacher; and how shall one go to preach unless he is being sent? Faith comes through hearing and practising the words of God. If you decide to forget about old ways of life and hand over yourself wholly to God, then you will stand on a solid rock. You will no more encounter any problem. But if you fail to practise the words of God, you will go as you came here, empty-handed; your number of years notwithstanding.
An old wine and an old wine-skin represent the teachings of the world, while a new wine and a new wine-skin connotes the teachings of Christ. And no one can compare the two teachings. It is said that the university of Edingbourgh is using Brotherhood literatures for studies. And those books are said to be inadequate for the studies. And the books written from this fold are more useful than those written in other churches. The church teaches worldly things while Brotherhood of the Cross and Star teaches the heavenly things. This confirms the scriptural statement that, he that is from the heaven teaches heavenly things.
If only the entire world would have love and peace, and shun segregation and other sinful acts, then the world would be a better place to live in. But unfortunately, they hold unto these unwholesome acts at the expense of the words of God. But there is repercussion. Hence the world must change and obey the words of God.
It is said a word is enough for the wise. May God bless His holy words. Amen.
THANK YOU FATHER
