Everlasting Gospel
First lesson: Matthew 11 : 29
“Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.”
Second lesson: John 15 : 9
“As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love:”
Golden text: John 14 : 23
“Jesus answered and said unto him, if a man loved me, he mil keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with Him.”
8.1 Express your love through practising the word
Dear brethren this is the time to practise the word of God. Nothing new is being delivered or taught to you in this kingdom. What you are expected to do now is to try to practise what has been taught to you. Through teaching, I have been reminding you what God, your Creator expects from you. Is it not awful that the orthodox churches who claim to know God do not practise His words? The texts above are the direct words of God and not that of man, angel or prophet. The practice of these words declare your obedience unto God. When you spread these words, it means God has used you to teach the world these words. If we love them. we must of necessity, practise and abide by the Divine injunctions.
Forget about churches, healing homes. Cathedrals, schools, camps, etc. and be engaged in thought and deed with practical usage of the word of God. Shun man's advice but abide by the instructions of God, The problem of humanity emanated from deviating from the path of rectitude. You should not expect anything good to come to you when you do not love God. How do one love God? You do this by diligently following His footsteps as revealed in the scriptures.
8.2 You enslave yourself unto what you love
If you love God, nothing will block you from practising His words. A local adage has it that. "man enslaves himself to that which he loves". So if we love God, we have to practise His words. It is because Christ loved us that He disclosed the secret to mankind that whoever loves Christ, will become His abode and that of His Father. Stop looking for God in the sky or in the sea, He is in none of these places. Rather, love Him by enslaving yourself in the practice of every revealed word. By so doing, you will become the dwelling place of Jehovah God and His Christ and the Holy Spirit. Through loving God, you have formed a trinity with them. Your union with the three brings to you peace, security and eternal life.
That Christ loves us is incontrovertible and that He enslaved Himself for such is beyond reasonable doubt. The proof of Christ's love is as subsumed in this statement towards the end of His earthly ministry; that it was expedient for Him to go away because if He does not, the Comforter, the spirit of truth, would not come. (see John 16 : 7).
Christ loves us and He enslaved Himself for such love by the indignity of death on the cross. "Greater love hath no man than this." This is the model which we should emulate.
You should note that before the era of the Holy Spirit, God spoke in parables. But God, the Father, communicates to us in plain language. This parable communication between God and man, made it difficult for people to know the nature of God. The result was that, the depraved man doubted the fact that God has a son or a child. Some went to the extent of denying the existence of God. These erroneous opinions were held because the Holy Spirit, the greatest Teacher had not arrived as the text just referred to explains.
All sufferings in the world emanate from disobeying the teachings revealed in the scripture. Peace, love and eternal life come from actual practice of the word. This is what our Lord Jesus Christ, in John chapter ten verse eight said:
“All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.”
8.3 Only the Holy Spirit teaches truth
Aside from that of the Holy Spirit, no other teaching, right from the time of Adam, would have led .you to eternal life. Adam was spiritually half-educated and half education is very dangerous because it makes you have an inflated image of yourself, thus becoming arrogant. God only said He would teach Adam in the garden but Adam disobeyed God by fornicating, thereby earning rustication from the "school". The rustication made Adam half educated. In this case, what could Adam impart to others?
Who taught Abraham? Who was the teacher of Melchizedek? What did Enoch know to enable him teach others? Mention other old Testament heroes and you will come to the inescapable conclusion that the only teaching worthy of practice is that by our Lord Jesus Christ. All other prophets bore witness to Christ by testifying that when He comes again as the Comforter, man would be led to the perfect knowledge of the truth. This is why the teachings in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star are different from that of the old testament. For instance, in Brotherhood, the erroneous belief that God has reincarnated seven times namely Adam, Melchizedek, Noah, Moses, Elijah, Jesus Christ and Olumba Olumba Obu has long been discarded. Only the teachings of the Father which leads to the accurate knowledge of the truth are followed. You are therefore warned to disassociate yourself from the erroneous teaching in the world because it only leads to the bottomless pit. It is instructive to heed the saying that a blind man cannot lead another blind man.
8.4 Adam, victim of the spirit of error
Adam disobeyed God only after listening to the spirit of error, the serpent. Adam was instructed not to eat the fruit at the centre of the garden but the serpent contradicted God by lying to Adam that disobeying that directive will not lead him to death. For disobeying, he was sent out of the garden. Then it dawned on Adam that he had derailed from the path of rectitude. To forestall the inevitable consequence of his disobedience, he cried, prayed and fasted for forgiveness. In spite of these sacrifices, he lost the divine right to communicate directly with God. However, out of this infinite mercy. God continued to communicate with them through angels. He also promised to come to them again. And told them that His coming would be heralded by three things-gold, myrrh and franckinsence. Till now, not many people know why the three wise men presented our Lord Jesus Christ with the gifts of gold, myrrh and frankincense.
8.5 Gold, Myrrh. Frankincense heralded Christ's coming
The three things gold, myrrh and frankinsence were signs that God had again established personal contact with man since the fall of Adam. Apart from the three things, another sign of God's personal intervention in the affairs of man was when He was crucified on the tree. Trace the history of man since creation and mention any birth which has attracted the gifts presented to our Lord Jesus Christ by the wise men. Have you also seen another personality clothed with the Holy Spirit other than Jesus the Christ? It is because of Him that His followers throughout eternity also receive the Holy Spirit.
8.6 Moses dealt with an angel
Moses never collected the commandments directly from God. He received them from an angel. The angel appeared first as the flame of fire in the burning bush which Moses saw. It is therefore erroneous to attribute the personality of God to Adam, Enoch, Melchizedek, Noah, Moses or Elijah. These men were all under the influence of angels. Since angels are only messengers of God, these old testament heroes could never have been God. God therefore registered His presence physically in the affairs of man only after the symbols of His coming were revealed.
8.7 Abraham dealt with an angel
Before the advent of Jesus the Christ, angels dominated the scene. It was an angel for instance, whom God sent to tempt Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, his only son. Through Abraham's obedience. God realized that man still had faith in Him and thus, decided to send His Son. After two thousand years. God made good His promise and Christ came to the sinful earth through the womb of a virgin.
8.8 The four wise men
True to the history of redemption, the symbols gold, myrrh and franckinsence materialised as gifts. Although these presents were presented by three wise men, actually they were four wise men who were sent out to visit Bethlehem but the fourth, as God would have it, had another assignment to carry out and was therefore absent at the presentation ceremony. Contrary to the prevailing view, the four wise men do not represent the four corners of the world. north, south, east and west. The four corners of the world readily represent heaven, earth, the abyss and the ocean. Refer to Revelation chapter 20 for details. There is therefore misinformation in the world as conventional wisdom would have us believe. The world is one, heaven, Earth, abyss and oceans are habitations. Recall what happened when our Lord Jesus Christ died. The veil of the temple was torn into two, from top to bottom; the earth quaked, the rocks were rent, graves were opened and the bodies of saints who had died, rose up.
The details are in Matthew chapter twenty seven verses 50-53,
“Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. And behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose. And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.”
Two generations from the time of Moses to the time of our Lord Jesus Christ was two thousand years.
8.9 A new world order emerges at close of this age
Our Lord Jesus Christ did not come until after two generations. A generation is one thousand years. The time span between Adam and Moses was about two thousand years and the same two thousand years elapsed from the time of Moses to the advent of our Lord Jesus Christ. Many dispute the messianic claim of our Lord Jesus Christ because His coming was not exactly two thousand years from the time of Moses. But who is man to challenge God's decision. Now at the close of age God has come down to redeem humanity unto Himself.
Two thousand years after the advent of our Lord Jesus Christ, a new world order will come into place and everything will conform to God's perfect standard. The promised Comforter by Christ, now teaches man to bring them to the accurate knowledge of the truth. This promise is recorded in John chapter fourteen verse twenty-six. Only the Holy Spirit teaches the truth because it is only the King who knows the secret of His kingdom. For instance, the Bible we are reading today was compiled through the records of dreams, visions and activities of the people of past generation. Such people, during their time, did not know the value of such writings.
Paul never intended that his writings to different communities could be taken as the words of God. But now his original intention has ceased to be the essence of the writing. Those to whom the letters were addressed also did not know the value because they were not destined to practise it. But now the Holy Spirit, the promised Comforter teaches and reminds us about the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore you have to subject yourself to the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ. And you have to subject yourself to the teachings of the Holy Spirit. Let the first lesson be read.
First lesson; Matthew 11 : 29
“Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me, for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.”
Brethren, what could be greater than God promising rest to your soul? I am a living witness to this fact. You can also be a witness if you practise His injunction. Love ye one another even as I love you. One cannot effectively love except one is lowly in heart, meek and gentle. By so doing, he has taken His yoke upon himself and learnt of Him. Do not say I have been serving God for the past years yet things do not seem to work to my specified plan. Remember that it is not always the same day you dig a pit and fill in water that frogs do fall into it. Patience must come before joy.
Recall all the activities that took place during the life time of our Lord Jesus Christ and after. The apostles preached but could not heal until after Christ's ascension, when they were empowered by the Holy Spirit. The Church was formed after two centuries when the Roman Catholic Church was established, The Catholic teachings were adulterated after they killed Peter. Protestantism followed after Catholicism in the search for accurate knowledge of God. The era of the Protestants gave rise to many more churches being established.
Note that it was from the time of Moses that the coming of Christ was prophesied. The prophets did not practise the words of God but were more or less involved in announcing the coming of Christ. And when eventually He came as was prophesied, He accomplished everything prophesied about Him. This made the people to realize that He was the promised one. But unfortunately, nobody now practises what our Lord Jesus Christ taught. They preach the word but refuse to practise it. But all should be reminded that the end of this century is the end of this sin. God will physically assume His rulership over the entire world. The pointer to this is the fact that governments, countries, institutions of learning and churches have now opted for the teachings of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. This is the work of God towards making the entire world one.
8.10 God has always been with man
The orthodox churches still expect God from the sky but God has never left men. That Christ died on the cross does not mean that the Father was no more in existence. God has always been with man. So it is mandatory for you to practise the gospel or face eternal damnation. The entire world shall be in spirit perfectly reformed before the year 2000. For instance, who amongst the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star brethren ever planned to practise the word of God?
Even in the whole wide world nobody thought it wise to heed the instructions of God, Nobody thought it wise to practise or testify to the works wrought by God and nobody is interested in praising God with songs. Now mere pronouncing the name. Leader Olumba Olumba Obu, a large crowd disperses. People take to their heels on hearing the name claiming that there is no other name apart from Jesus Christ. I have been calling for testimonies, praises, adoration, and honour but no one found it pertinent to do so. This is so because everything that happens must come at an appointed time. When the time for you to praise God manifests fully, nobody will teach you what to do. You will know it and how to do it, all alone. See Hebrews 8: 10-12:
“For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after these days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their minds, and write them in their hearts; and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people; And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. For I will he merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.”
8.11 The disciples never understood Christ
It is incumbent upon you to practise the word of God. Your salvation depends on that. Even the disciples never knew their Master. They lacked the understanding of His words and were therefore astonished at the parable of how difficult it would be for a rich man to enter into God's Kingdom. The disciples followed Christ because they hoped to be made rich and so, when they heard that the rich would not enter into the kingdom of God, they were astonished.
The question put to Jesus Christ about the issue of whether it is right to divorce a wife also showed that the disciples did not understand their Master.
8.12 Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is in its advanced stage
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star has undergone many stages. When Brotherhood of the Cross and Star physically manifested at Eton Street, I used to cook food, give drinks, snuff and other items to people to convert them. But it is different today because such generosity does not help man to practise the word of God. The order now is that you should not wear shoes, eat meat, or fish, fornicate, smoke, drink, snuff etc. The reason the first set of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star members had the privilege to enjoy such luxuries was because, they were not baptised. Now all Brotherhood of the Cross and Star members must completely dissociate themselves from the pleasures of the flesh after baptism. Baptism comes after repentance, and repentance is the complete denouncement and forsaking of all unholy desires. Those who recall with nostalgia how cows used to be slaughtered for feast should well remember that Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is in its advanced stage now where everything is made anew. This is the time for humanity to draw nearer to God by fleeing from sins. As the saying goes, the palatability of a dish is not determined at the time of preparation but when it is tasted. By the same logical reasoning, not much is gained by hearing the gospel but by practising it.
8.13 Brotherhood of the Cross and Star members are the promised children of God
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star members are the children of promise that is why the gift of the Holy Spirit has been given to them. So to qualify for this kingdom, you should utilise the gift to practise the word of God. Anything I do not want to happen. I stand in the highest heavens and rebuke it, and whatever I want to happen, I equally cause same to come to existence. Two instances are readily available to substantiate my authority. The legalisation of abortion was almost signed when I cancelled it. This is because abortion is murder. Again, after God had created the requisite awareness of the Gulf war, I declared an end to the hostilities. Could this not prove to all that the Father is a personality on this earth and that all should submit to Him?
8.14 The Father is already seated on the judgment seat
Why do you think people hearken to the instruction not to eat meat and fish, fornicate, steal, hate, among others? The reason is that the Father is already on His judgment seat judging the entire universe and giving out instructions to this people.
Let the second lesson be read.
Second lesson: John 15:9
“As the Father hath love me so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.”
8.15 God has given freedom of worship
The kingdom of God does not count on large crowds. Few who practise the word are better than thousands who do not. You are called upon to extend the love that the author of our faith, even the Lord Jesus Christ has loved us to your fellowmen. The criterion for judgment is love. If love is practised, the world would be at peace and violence would be a thing of the past. Therefore stop blaming the people of old for not practising love. For they did not know what love is. In that time, the disciples of Jesus the Christ were stoned to death for merely praying or preaching to somebody. In fact, the men of old went through very severe conditions but now God has freed us from the bondage of restriction to worship. This freedom has brought to us the awareness that love is the way of salvation. Now that you are not under any restriction to worship God. what prevents you from putting into practice His words? You do this on your relationship with other men.
8.16 Love means freedom
You are only free when you love because love means freedom. This freedom granted to us should be utilized so that we receive peace and joy to our souls. The world is now convinced that Brotherhood is love and this explains the rush now to the fold. Brotherhood is the abode of love since it is the new kingdom of God where righteousness and freedom are attained You have to love God and all the creations of God.
Do not blaspheme but love and desire good for all men. If you love, you would find eternal rest for your soul. You stand dis-fellowshipped in this kingdom if you steal, lie, fornicate, fight quarrel, or commit those wrongs which do not boast of good relationships among people. Brotherhood does not desire sin and the world knows that very well. Once you commit these behavioural disorders, the world judges you and declares you not a true Brotherhood. So you should abstain from all acts of sinfulness.
8.17 Brotherhood members are peace makers
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star members are peace makers. This explains why people ask whether the Father has been consulted whenever any member takes somebody to. court. They know for sure that He preaches against taking somebody to court. Whoever investigates Brotherhood of the Cross and Star reveals to the world that the fold is nothing but love. Boundary disputes which hitherto defy solutions are amicably settled whenever Brotherhood steps into them. Everything associated with love is peace and freedom. Do not panic about the origin of this work because we know that it is the work of love.
The end of time is fast approaching, when all manners of sinfulness will cease to be: fighting, fornication, hatred, lies. stealing, murder, adultery, idolatry etc. will come to an end. There will be no more discrimination, no sex discrimination, age grade will no more be considered. There will prevail limitless liberty, starvation will cease and joy will reign supreme. Love will reign Supreme and peace will be the order of the day.
8.18 A righteous age approaches
The year 2000 will mark the end of sinful age. Righteousness is now engulfing sins, love now rides over hatred, fighting discrimination, arrogance and pride. The light of Jehovah God is now pushing darkness out of the system and in a little while, everything will take God's designed shape. The year two thousand will mark the end of mundane things as nothing evil will be accepted. That is when the kingdom of this world shall completely become the kingdom of Jehovah God and His Christ as recorded at Revelation 11:15.
We should all have a share in the kingdom of our Father provided we practise the words of God and go by His footsteps.
A stroke of the cane, it is said, is enough for the wise. May God bless His holy words. Amen
THANK YOU FATHER
