THE COMFORTER HAS COME: (LIVE BY HIS TEACHINGS)

First Bible Lesson: John: 6:45 "It is written in the Prophets, they will all be taught by God. And everyone that has heard from the Father and has learned comes to me." Second Bible Lesson: John 14:26 "But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, which the Father will send in my name, that one will teach you ALL things and bring back to your minds all the things I told you." Golden Text: Rev. 7:17 "Because the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them, and will guide them to fountains of waters of life. And God will wipe out every tear from their eyes.'' Brethren, this is the revelation of our Lesson. This will help you to understand the events of things on earth today. What is happening today on earth is a fulfillment, of Bible prophecy. It is so stated, even in the Prophets, that you would all be taught by Jehovah. If God does not teach you about Himself, or reveal Himself to you, you would not know Him nor understand Him. Your problems emanate from rejecting the teaching of God, and relying on the quest for material things. It is because of your interest in money and material wealth, that is why many people refuse to come to this Institute of Higher Learning in order to know about God, or rather to be taught by God. 9.1 Fulfillment of Bible prophecy Today in this generation, what was written aforetime has come to be fulfilled. God has come to teach you ALL things. God has not come to pray for you, to give you money or material things, No!! Rather, He has come to teach you and to lead you to the accurate knowledge of ALL Truth. To lead you to spiritual maturity. 9.2 Human training compared with God's teaching programme You are witnesses that teaching is a basic requirement. This at all times starts from infancy. When a child is born, the child will be taught how to sit, crawl and how to stand. Then comes how to walk. Many families do provide a rolling wheel to help their children move. The child then is taught how to utter sounds. There after, other teachings will follow as months and years pass by. This child will be taught good manners and behaviour. How he must conduct himself or herself in and out of the family. You can see that these methods of teaching and training take effort and time. Now the child progresses, he may now be sent to a Nursery School then to Primary School, Secondary School then to University. Some of the teachings that this child will receive in these schools may be exactly what he was taught while very young in the family. For him to graduate and qualify, he must undergo a study of them once more. This is why it is said "as to learning there shall be no end." Take for example in a field of learning; like medicine; where specialists are required. You may obtain your doctorate degree but you must undergo another study in order to be a specialist in a certain aspect of medicine. In the universities, we have many faculties of learning and many departments of studies - but the same teaching programme. We have lecturers on special subjects, professions and trades. You as a student must be taught in order to qualify. At last, where do these teachings lead you? The scriptures did not say that men will teach his fellow man, rather, that Jehovah will teach you all things. Apart from this, you may be so educated and you want to be initiated into any of these so-called secret societies. If you are not taught the preliminaries of that society and you seem to have some understanding you will not be initiated. So also in any cult in this world. You must be taught by a fellow man before you are initiated in it, irrespective of your status in life and academic qualification and experience in life. 9.3 Earthly learning is from Satan You must understand that all that you have learnt and have been taught in the world are all about the Prince of this world. It is demonic, earthly and death-dealing. It is contrary to God's teaching programme and His purpose. To this effect, I have every right to denounce any academic qualification that one may have obtained in this world because it is not from God who is the only authorised Tutor. Take a look at the Book of Isaiah Chapter two, reading from verse two: "And it must occur in the final part of the days that the mountain of the house of Jehovah will become firmly established above the top of the mountains, and it will certainly be lifted up above the hills; and to it all nations must stream. And many people will certainly go and say: "Come you people, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah and to the house of Jacob and He will teach us about His ways, and we will walk in His paths." Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, this is the house of the God of Jacob into which you have been called, to be taught by God Himself. We are in Christ spiritual school of practical Christianity. Here on this Great Mountain-like Institute of Higher Learning, you are not taught about any other person than God. You are taught exclusively about His paths and will, what to do to gain salvation. Brethren, if the world were to know of the scheme of God's teaching and have the insight of the perpetual benefits, they would have made use of this golden opportunity. Here we are concerned with godly virtues that provide complete spiritual and physical liberation to all successful students of God. What is happening now is exactly what happened during Christ's ministry. At a marriage feast in Canaan when there was shortage of wine, Christ turned water into wine. When the ruler of the feast had tasted the wine, he said: "every man brings forth good wine at the beginning and when people have well drunk then that which is worse: but you have kept back this good wine until now." This miracle of wine was metaphoric. Today in this final days, we have the meaning. The old wine typifies the worldly wisdom, no matter what level or status. This wisdom has rendered you unreceptive to God's teaching. 9.4 The Churches and Religions are old wine The churches today are filled with members. These individuals have been indoctrinated right from their youth, so that no one can convince them with any other teachings. Many of you belonged to these churches, and were their products. After such people have been so drunk with these fables and doctrines of demons, now comes the new teachings in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. Incidentally, like a person who has been filled with old wine, he has no room for the new wine. They term this a new Church with new teachings. Some who have tasted the teachings to be truth, wonder, like the ruler of the marriage feast in Christ's parable “why did not this church exist a long time ago?” There is no point lying against the truth. It is the fulfilment of Bible prophecy in our time. 9.5 The Holy Spirit manner of teaching Here you are told not to put on shoes, not to dress as the worldly people do. Principles based on God's word are brought to light. Definitely, with the old doctrines in you, figuratively as old wine, you can not take in the new truth. You can not put the new church to harmonize with the old. Christ in another parable said: "No man sews a patch of unshrunk cloth upon an old outer garment; if he does, its full strength pulls from it, the new from the old, and the tear becomes worse Also, nobody puts new wine into old wineskin. If he does, the wine bursts the skins, and the wine is lost as well as the skins. But people put new wine into new wineskins. Christ also said. "No man also having drunk old wine wants new for he says, The old is nice." Has this not been true today? What has been the reactions of the so-called learned men and the so-called religionists of Christendom today? These people have been drunk with the old wine and do not desire the new even though it is good and nice, and true. This is where the difficulty lies. There is no Church on earth today that teaches about God. They teach about persons and doctrines of demons which lead men to destruction. It is very unreasonable therefore for any individual to seek consultations with The Sole Spiritual Head, Leader Olumba Olumba Obu on scriptural discussion just because such a person is a pastor, bishop or opportuned religious leader or had gone abroad to study about religion. What has that got to do with the Truth? Practically nothing! I only laugh at the limitation of what the worldly people called wisdom. They are very much to be pitied. You have been told that Christ will not teach except in parables. That miracle at Canaan marriage feast was a parable. Christ was figuratively speaking about His teachings in the world at that, time. The making of water to become wine referred to His teachings. That His teachings were not from man's origin or earthly. It was new and from God. The Holy Spirit is power, love and wisdom. He is the only one capable of teaching you ALL things. The reason governments and religions of the world are unstable is because they lack the wisdom from God. They are not taught by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit alone can teach you about God and ALL things. Jesus spoke about confounding worldly teachings and described their teachers as blind guides. 'Let them alone', Christ said, “they are blind leaders, and if the blind leads the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.” Also referring to those who were offended because of His teaching, He said: "Every plant which my heavenly Father did not plant shall be rooted up" On other occasion, Christ referred to worldly wisdom as magnificent buildings that shall be thrown down. "See ye not all these things, verily, I say unto you there shall not be left here one stone upon another that shall not be thrown down." The people thought Christ referred to their literal buildings. Not at all. He was speaking of what you falsely called knowledge today, which must be brought to nought. You accumulated these knowledge in order to succeed in life. How useful are they to you now? Such worldly wisdom are of no value in the sight of God. It is vanity and striving after the wind. Let us read again the first Bible Lesson of this gospel. First Bible lesson: John 6:45 "It is written in the Prophets, they will all be taught by Jehovah. And everyone that has heard from the Father and has learned comes to me.” Brethren, I want everybody to read this portion of the Bible once again. To be admitted in a School is one thing but to be regular in attendance is another. To obey and apply instructions given is one thing, to succeed in the final examinations is another. Those students who would not read their lessons and apply them shall find difficulty in their examination. In an Institute of Learning, you may have 100 students but only 10 may be the teachers. These ten are the learned ones. God has come in these final days to teach you all things. 9.6 The importance of the teaching and the teacher The teachings you now receive, should not be joked with. No one is too young or old to learn now. This teaching is entirely new. All your years of study in worldly universities lead you to where you now find yourselves and no further. All the heresies that you accumulated from the Churches of Christendom and other religions right from your youth end in vanity. Your many years of experience do not come in here in this teaching programme. In this school, experience is a student and not the best teacher. I am not saying that I am God or that I am Christ or that I am the Holy Spirit, but, I am telling you, that God and the Holy Spirit, the Promised Comforter is now teaching you. Therefore, you must pay more than the usual attention to the things that-you are-taught. With the aid of the Holy Spirit, God's active force being poured on you believers, you are able to comprehend these new teachings. Only those who receive and apply His teachings shall receive everlasting and beneficial result. Therefore, let it become known to the whole world, that all of God's creatures must now submit and subject themselves to the Universal Teacher now on earth. They must set aside all previous wisdom, understanding, status and experience in life, and present themselves as students to the Holy Spirit of truth now. 9.7 The world in turmoil Take a look at the world today; what do you see? Changes in governments, coups and counter coups, assassinations, corruption, mal-administration, nepotism, bribery and instability. In the Institutions of learning, there are also major changes even from the alphabets. You now have what is called the new autography different to what you had in your days. Methods differ. Schools' sessions changed to academic year. All Institutions shall continue to dwindle until finally taken over by the Universal, and Sole Tutor The Holy Spirit of Truth. Christ said: 'that the Kingdom of God is likened to a mustard seed, which is sown in a field. Although very small of all seed when it is grown, becomes the greatest ‘among herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air shall come and lodge on the branches thereof. 9.8 The scope of teaching In this School, you are taught to refrain from all forms of sin, and lawlessness, immorality and crimes. By doing this you are on the way to everlasting life. There is no point to argue or to envy others who may make rapid progress in learning. You will be taught all things. This includes professions, trades and careers like, engineering and other technical works. It is written that He will teach you all things. What shall it profit you, if you are admitted in this School and given all privileges and opportunities of learning yet you fail to receive these teachings? Christ spoke about this Promised Comforter, that He will bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever He (Christ) had taught or spoken. Consequently, He is now here with you in this School. What then prevents you from being taught? What you now see is the fulfillment of what Christ spoke about. You do not need any body to teach you anything. Look unto the Holy Spirit, the only Principal Tutor and be taught by Him. He has taught you the basic principles of life, chastity and holiness. You are told to refrain from fornication, adultery, drinking any type of wine, and from all forms of loose conduct. You must not take any instructions from anybody. Listen only to the Holy Spirit always. 9.9 The Jews waited for Messiah ignorantly The people of this generation could be likened to those in Jesus' day, who were still waiting for the Messiah while He was in their midst. The Samaritan woman said: ! know that Messiah is coming, who is called the Christ. When ever that one comes, he will teach us all things.' Jesus said to her: “I that speak to you, I am He”. People did not know Him, although His coming was long prophesied. Were you not told that Jesus commenced His ministerial work with followers up to 5,000? But that number in a short time dwindled to 12. Then on one occasion, Jesus turned to the remnant of them and asked: 'You do not want to go also do you? Simon Peter answered him: 'Lord, whom shall we go away to? You have sayings of everlasting life and we have believed and come to know that you are the Holy One of God.' What happened at that time is happening today because -of these words of everlasting life. At another instance, people were coming from different places seeking for Christ and when they found Him on the other side of the sea, they said unto Him: "Rabbi, when did you get here?" Jesus answered them and said: "Most truly I say to you. You are looking for me, not because you saw signs but because you ate from the loaves and were satisfied. Work not for the food that perishes but for the food that remains for life everlasting, which the Son of Man will give you; for upon this one the Father, even God, has put His seal of approval." This is exactly what the second Bible lesson of this gospel has to reveal to the world. For up till now, the entire world is still waiting anxiously for the Holy Spirit to come and teach, rectify all things in all levels of humanity. May we have the second Bible lesson read: Second Bible lesson: John 14:26 "But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, which the Father will send in my name, that one will teach you all things and bring back to your minds all the things I told you." 9.10 The Comforter, the Teacher arrives The whole world knew of the coming of the Great Teacher. But today, I want to use this opportunity to announce to the whole world that the Promised COMFORTER The Holy Spirit of Truth has arrived. All the instructions, ways of life, words of eternal life that you heard from our Lord Jesus Christ were only preparing you for His arrival. He is here to teach you ALL things and to bring to remembrance all that you heard from Our Lord Jesus Christ. 9.11 The basic teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ If any man come to me, and hate not his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, hate not his life, he cannot be my disciple. And whosoever does not bear His cross and come after me cannot be my disciple. “Go and sell all that you possess, come and be my follower!" Be not overcome of evil but overcome evil with good. If any man will sue you at the law and get possession of your inner garment let your outer garment also go to him. And if someone under authority impresses you into service for a meter, go with him two meters. Give to the one asking you and do not turn away from one that wants to borrow from you.' Love your enemies, pray for those hating you and those persecuting you. For if you love them which love you, what reward have you? You must be perfect even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect'' The Holy Spirit has come to remind you of all these basic teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ. Of course there are also new truths taught by the Holy Spirit because as Christ said, “I have many things to say unto you but you cannot bear them now, however, when that ONE arrives, the Spirit of Truth, He will guide you into ALL the Truth; for he will not speak of Himself but whatsoever He will hear, that will He speak, and He will show you things to come'. There you have it! New things must be taught. 'He will declare to you the things coming'. If there are no new teachings, it then means, that the Comforter has not come. 9.12 The new teachings of the Comforter It is on record that Christ wept. In the Booklet, 'First Step to God,' weeping is condemned. To weep or mourn is contrary to the teaching of the Holy Spirit. Sadness, frowning of face, sighing, grudge, are also condemned by the Holy Spirit. Anger, provocation, annoyance, indignation are not allowed by the Holy Spirit. You must not say because Christ was provoked and he drove away the money changers from the temple, therefore you can be provoked today. If you do, you will fail in this new teaching. The new teaching of the Holy Spirit, encourages, joy, happiness, compassion, temperament, self-control, meekness, humility. Many people say, because Jesus cursed those in Bethsaida and the unproductive fig tree, so they are free to curse or use abusive words. This is wrong, because the Holy Spirit teaches that you must not curse but bless. If you want to qualify and also graduate in this school, you must follow closely the Holy Spirit method of teaching and certain rectifications on the method and teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ. Our Lord Jesus Christ, told you that he could not lead you to the accurate knowledge of the truth, not until that one arrives, the Holy Spirit of Truth. Now the Holy Spirit is here. Therefore only His teachings can lead you to everlasting life. If you say because Christ changed water into wine, therefore you can brew or turn water into crude gin and drink, you are pitiable. For if you drink anything bottled and of wine origin, no matter its origin, you have no part in this Kingdom. I want you to take note of this statement: Anyone who drinks wine, whether alcoholic or non alcoholic, soft or hot drinks, squash or fermented drinks or any kind, palm or chemicalized drinks, willingly or mistakenly, shall not enter into this Kingdom. This is the teaching of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit condemns all forms of medical treatment. He teaches you that faith in the greatest doctor. The Holy Spirit Himself is essential. That you should consult Him the Holy Spirit for all treatment. Anything outside this is rebellious. The Holy Spirit teaches you about marriage. He refers to what Jesus said concerning that woman who was married to seven brothers: In the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage but are like angels of God in heaven. In the new Kingdom there is no marriage. Have you not read in Revelation Chapter 14 verses 4 to 5 about the 144,000 virgins. These are they which were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. And in their mouth was no guile found, for they are without blemish before the throne of God. These are the only ones to remain and rule with Christ. All those who marry are no part of the 144,000 heirs of the kingdom. Christ confirmed this when He referred to the inheritance of the kingdom of God. Those counted worthy to receive this kingdom, they neither marry nor are given in marriage. You are not forced to receive these teachings. Where ever you find yourself, remain there for God's grace is sufficient for you. However, those who will remain with the Holy Spirit need these requirements. 9.13 Learn and practice only godly ways and righteousness In any Institution of Higher Learning, you have many faculties and department of Studies. It all depends on what subjects you are taking and on which you want to qualify. Likewise in this school of the Holy Spirit. Christ said in my Father's house, there are many mansions. In other words, many faculties and departments of Studies. All are under the overall supervision of the Principal Chancellor and Dean of Studies, the Sole Spiritual Head of the universe. There are several subjects to be taken and the Students are told and well informed of the advantages and disadvantages of all subjects. Subjects like fornication, adultery, heresies, sedition, uncleanliness, variance, rivalries, loose conduct, anger, wrath, emulations, contention, strife, fighting, gossiping, envy, jealousy, stealing, craftiness, robbery polygamy, abortion, etc, have their departments. You are warned of their disastrous ends, but if you are interested in any of them, you are free to enroll and graduate. You will have yourself to blame in the end. Notwithstanding, the schools recommended subjects are: love, peace, goodness, righteousness, kindness, joy, humility, meekness, self-control, long suffering and all godly virtues. The Holy Spirit declares that against these prescribed subjects there is no law. At your graduation, you are immediately absorbed in this Kingdom. The followers of Christ knew nothing about this. They all were waiting for the coming of the Holy Spirit. Today the Holy Spirit has come with His teachings. What a fortunate generation! Remember that Christ sent out His disciple's in twos to go only to the lost house of Israel and not to the Samarians. But today the Holy Spirit has directed that we love one another and His message and teaching are universal. The message of Holy Spirit is embodied in The Everlasting Gospel. The teachings of the Holy Spirit has everlasting benefits. Read the Golden Text: Golden text: Rev: 7:17 "Because the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them, and will guide them to fountains of waters of life. And God will wipe out every tear from their eyes.'' I am telling you that anger is a death-dealing poison. Cursing and the use of vile words, obscene jesting, abusive words and jokes are very provocative and they boomerang and affect the speaker. The use of tobacco, cigarettes, and snuff are devilish and poisonous. When any user of tobacco dies, the corpse immediately decays. Fornication drives away the Holy Spirit. It brings sickness, pains, sorrows and separates you from God. It brings death. Even conjugal intercourse between husband and wife deters your relationship with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit has taught you not to keep account of injury, not to judge nor condemn others. That you must not plan ahead for the flesh. Christ said those who came before Him were thieves and robbers. Therefore, today, when you hear His voice do not harden your hearts. Refrain from all forms of immorality and lawlessness for these things bring tribulation, hardship, affliction to you and separate you from God. This is what the Holy Spirit teaches Flippancy, falsehood are detrimental. Polygamous life is condemned. It divides the home and makes the home a combative family. The Holy Spirit comes with truth and life. Why not open the doors of your minds for this Great Teacher? If you are preparing to travel to a foreign land, you must be familiar with the customs of that land, lest you will be deported when you get there. I have come to lead you to the accurate knowledge of the truth, to teach you the way of everlasting life, and to liberate you fully from the pangs of destruction. I do not compel nor force you to practise these teachings. For the ability to do so does not come from you. However, I have completed my teachings and those who comply with them shall see good days and peaceful life. From the day Adam disobeyed the instructions of God, he stopped seeing good days but found death. Therefore leave the principle of the doctrine about Christ, come here as a child, put away all erroneous teachings that you have had and press on to maturity. You cannot claim to be a Pastor, or Apostle, Prophet and you continue to drink and fornicate. It is very unreasonable. There is nothing hidden in the sight of God. His eyes and ears are wide and large enough to see and to hear things done in absolute secret. Anything done outside this line of truth leads to eternal destruction. 9.14 You are called to truth Remember brethren, your calling was not to get money, children, cars, houses or for eating, but you were called to be taught by the Holy Spirit, so that your joy may become full. To be free from all lusts and wants of life. To graduate as Masters from this great Institution of Highest Learning, you cannot be excused! should you fail to receive these teachings. Why should you be here for many years yet you still succumb to acts of lawlessness and immorality? The answer to that question is clear. You did not come here to be taught and therefore you have not learnt from the Holy Spirit. It is because you have become drunk with the old wine and do not desire the new wine. Yes it is because you have been indoctrinated with false doctrines and the wisdom of this old world. It is because your hearts and minds had become blunt due to the heresies that you have been taught. What a sad situation that you are? Some of you because of pride and arrogance, have failed to become like your tutor. The Holy Spirit has demonstrated His teachings practically to you. When Adam and Eve were created, instructions were given to them as to their food. They were to feed on fruits only. I do not intend to go in detail with you in this aspect. I shall leave this for future lectures, to treat, on how this applies to you today. I can not continue to enumerate these requirements to you, the more I do so the more you are becoming more pitiable indeed. I can understand thus, that you only come here for blessings and not to be taught by the Holy Spirit. 9.15 Bury the dead as I have taught I have taught you not to keep funeral parlour and mourning houses. That when somebody sleeps in the Lord, you should call some brethren, the number is not important. Together you should give thanks to God and then bury the person quickly without embalmment of the body or putting it in the mortuary, or doing any such worldly and unnecessary things to the body. Avoid mundane and worldly ceremonies and activities. I have given you the necessary way to conduct a burial ceremony. This ceremony is enough. The important thing is to thank God our Father and pray and commit the member’s soul to God. The person is on transfer and not dead as you call it. But it is surprising that you have refused to heed this vital instruction but you continue in the ways of the world. 9.16 This teaching is from heaven As I am standing here, delivering this gospel, I am speaking to you and the whole world from heaven. So that no one would say I did not hear. You are inexcusable, I repeat. These teaching could be likened to the rejected stone by the builders which later became the chief corner stone. I did not come to receive praises, honour and vain glory of men but I have come with the knowledge of truth and to impart same to all who want to be taught by me. I am not after the effect of the cause but the cause of the effect. All those who commit sins are slaves of sin and we have no room for slaves in this Kingdom. Christ said: “Every doer of sin is a slave of sin” If you start to practise these teachings from today, you will see changes in your life. Let us be thankful to God, because if I did not come, the whole world would have perished. For no one would have taught you about God. Therefore, if you have problems it is because you do not practise the teachings of the Holy Spirit. 9.17 The true blessedness Remember what our Lord Jesus Christ told the woman who said unto Him: "Blessed is the womb that bare thee and the breast's which you had sucked,' Christ said to her "Rather blessed are they that hear the word of God and keep it." I have not come as a Pastor, Apostle or Prophet. I have come to lead you to all the truth and to bring back to your remembrance all that Christ spoke about. ALL that I say ,unto you, are not from any other sources but from the Holy Spirit. Therefore, if you reject my sayings, you do not reject me but the Holy Spirit that was promised by the Father to come and teach you and to lead you unto all the truth. The Holy Spirit is here and what you have heard is from him. You will have yourself to blame if you reject these teachings. I do not intend to be tedious unto you. Those who have ears to hear, let them hear. May the everlasting Father, 'The Spirit of Truth, Teacher and Leader bless His holy teachings. now and forever more. A-men Thank you father
