Everlasting Gospel
First lesson: John 15:12
"This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you."
Second lesson: John 14:15
"If you love me, keep my commandments."
Golden Text: John 4:21
“Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.”
Brethren, that is the theme of our lesson this morning. What you have heard is the word of God. Whatever you are called or call yourself, Bishop, Pastor, Reverend, Christ, Jesus, Pope, Prophet, etc, what we have to do is to love one another even as He loves us. It is not a new thing to pray, neither is preaching new. Songs, dances and visions are not new. But the new covenant is that we love one another even as He loves us. If you say you believe fervently in Jesus Christ, why then do you fail to practise this His commandment? All those who say they believe in and hope on the Lord have to comply with His commandment. Whatever you do, except you love one another as Christ loves you, you have succeeded in doing nothing.
For somebody to claim he or she founded a church, what is the name of that church? What type of leader do you think you are to claim to be a leader of a church? You claim you are God: What type of God are you? The foundation of the building has been laid. Love is the beginning and end of God. If you do not love your brother, what do you preach? Therefore, brethren, the most important assignment for you and me and the call that has been extended us are found in this gospel.
God's commandment is to love one another even as He loves us. Even if you raise the dead and cause the lame to walk, except you love every person as Christ loves you, you have done nothing. Brethren, what we are saying now is something in the physical, what you see with your naked eyes even as we are sitting down here. It is neither an affair for vision, or grammar, nor does it require essay writing or rhetoric. This is the reason I tell you I have not come to found a church or prayer house or healing home, l am not Jesus or Christ or God. I have come to re-orientate your minds about what Christ said, because even if you roast your body in fire, and distribute all your wealth to the poor, except you love, you have done nothing. He declared that His commandment is that you love one another as he loves you. It surprises me when I hear people say that God has commandments. No, God has only one basic commandment; and that is the love of one to another as He loves us. He has said that He has not come to repeal the law of the prophets but to affirm.
Love your neighbor as you love yourself is not a complete commandment. The same thing is applicable to the commandment that you honour your father and mother. Also incomplete is the commandment that you have no other god before God. To remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy is incomplete. Do not steal, do not commit fornication and adultery. Do not bear false witness against your neighbour are incomplete commandments in themselves. But if you love everybody as God loves you, you have obeyed every other commandment. You must love as God loves you.
9.1 The reason I come
I have not come to teach you the history of religion and the Bible how Abraham came to being, the story about Noah, or how God created man. I have not come for that, My mission is just for this one thing; to love one another. I have not come to teach you h history, geography, mathematics or any mundane subject. I have come to remind you of the commandment given by our Lord Jesus Christ - That is to love one another even as He loves us.
God so loved the world that He sent down His only begotten Son to come 'and die so that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. This eternal life is for you to love one another as He has instructed. Then you are out of death trap.
Whether you have money, or children, or are gainfully employed, or are very healthy or ill, has nothing to do with God. It is none of God's concern if you set about cutting and clearing road or to build a very big house because all these things had existed but love had never been in existence in this world.
If you go to America, France, Italy, Europe and the rest of the developed countries you will find their streets well kept and their environment very neat. But since there is no love of God, have you not seen how the earth is covered with darkness? People have gone to the moon and stars, have studied science, have lived inside water and have done all sorts of things, but since there is no love has the world experienced peace, prosperity, or salvation?
Some people have studied the Bible scriptures and have chains of degrees. These qualifications are of no use. The only required and good qualification is to love one another even as the Lord loves you.
The position of a Bishop, Archbishop, Pope, Reverend, Pastor, Apostle or Evangelist does not mean anything. Love one another as the Lord loves you is the only thing the entire world has to do. Love is the fulfilling of the law, because if you love somebody you cannot rob him. If you have love you will not tell lies. You shall cease to kill the moment you have love. If you have love you will not harbour anybody in your mind. If you have love you will not take any court action against anybody. You shall no longer commit fornication and adultery if you have love. You shall not commit any type of sin whatsoever throughout your life if you have love. You shall not quarrel, you shall not fight and shall not slander or assassinate any body's character if you have love. You shall plan no evil against anybody, shall not be angry, shall not begrudge and shall not frown your face if you have love. If you have God, you shall not fail to love every other person you see because He has said that any person who loves Him shall keep His commandment. Therefore, if we claim we love God we should love one another as He has covenanted.
God has no other law or commandment except the love of one to another even as He loves us. To say that you have not kept all the ten commandments of God is erroneous. God has only one commandment because He is just one God. God Himself is love. Our Lord Jesus Christ too is love. In addition, the Holy Spirit too is love. Therefore, we have to abide in that love.
Love is oneness, taking and regarding some other person as yourself. So, brethren, this is the only thing obtainable here, the only law in this Kingdom. There is no other law. You say you are a crusader, if you do not love one another as He has advised your crusade does not mean anything.
Remember what is said in the Revelation of John 2:4-5 that "Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent." Money is not our problem; neither is food, car or house. Our problem is lack of love. It is said that we have graduated from death unto life because we love the brethren. That, whoever does not love is in death up till now.
There is no other person who has come to save the world except our Lord Jesus Christ. The whole world had been condemned to death because of lack of love but today Christ has brought to you and I salvation. How many people have this salvation? Christ has shown us the way He passed through in the scriptures. Apart from that path any other one leads to perdition. He says He is the way, life and truth, that nobody can see the Father except through Him, the Lord of love.
We long for eternal life but refuse to love one another as the Lord loves us. We are looking for power yet we refuse to love one another as the Lord instructs. We desire to get out of sickness and death but we refuse to love everybody as He advises. Uptill now do you not know that anybody who does not love his fellow brethren abides in death?
Many people wonder and ask why a member of Brotherhood should die. Why would he not? Has he got love? Others ask why people die in their hundreds in the world. Have they this love? Do they love one another even as Christ loves us? It is said that the wages of sin is death and that the gift of God is eternal life. If we refuse to love our brethren, even as Christ loves us we have to die. We had already died. It is Christ who has brought salvation unto us.
9.2 Love gives eternal life
Right from today that you are hearing this gospel, if you love one another even as Christ loves you, you have graduated from death to life. He does not tell you to love one another so that you can be given money or so that you will be loved in return. The consequence of your love exercise according to the Lord is to enable you move from death to life.
It is of no use to engage the services of a lawyer or a doctor, or to fast and pray when you do not love one another as God loves you. There is no need. I do not know why this thing is hidden to the entire world. I have never told you that I am Jesus. I am neither Abraham nor a Bishop or Pastor or God. I have only brought you this good news of great joy. It is the Father who speaks what He had spoken, to remind you because this is the last generation.
People are questioning why there are plenty of troubles, death, sicknesses, and hunger despite the numerous churches. The reason is that the entire world has refused to obey the instruction of God. Others allege that they have prayed, fasted, gone on ministry work and have bathed in Biakpan water yet things are still abnormal. Have these persons loved their fellow brethren, as God has commanded? You have been baptised into Brotherhood yet your problems still increase with the days. Now, when you were baptised did you carry out the commandment of love one another?
Has Christ not shown us that we should love our enemies and pray for their own good and even those who cause you envy so that your Father in heaven may be glorified? Because He causes His sun to shine on the evil and righteous, and His rain to fall on the good and bad. Is that not the good news I have brought unto the entire world?
I do not want any position at all, I am not even qualified for any of the positions neither am I interested. My interest is in loving one another as Christ has instructed. Call me juju, mermaid man, Beelzebub, spirit, or whatever name you may wish to call, my work is to love all men as He has commanded. I am again reminding all angels and men that they have forgotten the advice given them. It was because of love; Christ came down to the earth. It is also because of love that the Lord died, nailed on the Cross. He also rose up and ascended to heaven because of love. It is because of this same love that He promised He would not leave men desolate. He declared it is finished meaning hatred has gone only love exists.
Grace means love and we are living not under any law but love. Love one another, everybody whether white or black, or man or woman. Just love everybody that comes your way, That is what this kingdom is all about.
9.3 All people are children of God
One thing I am adding to you because Christ did say it in a very brief way; but I am serially explaining it more for your understanding. He had advised that we should call nobody teacher that He is the only Teacher and Master. You are all brethren. This also means that you are the children of God. But children of God to what extent? He refers to the entire world. They are all the children of God because He did not die for the whites or blacks but for the entire world so that we should become one in Christ Jesus. This is to fulfill His promise that the Comforter when He comes shall lead you to the. accurate knowledge of truth.
Whether one is a Christian or Muslim, or Hindu or even Pagan does not matter. We are all the children of God. As a crusader and soldier of the Father, that is the news you have to go out and spread. All are the children of God. Then since we are the children of the Father we are given the injunction that we should love one another even as He loves us.
Therefore, brethren, you have to love anybody you see even as Christ loves you. Be the person a woman or man, black or white, short or tall, thin or fat, you have to love everybody equally. That is all you have to do. To go along with a voluminous Bible and inscribing on it the name God or Jesus Christ or Apostle, or a wonderful man means nothing. To cause the dead to rise or the lame to walk profits you nothing. Love is fundamental. It is not painful. This is the Kingdom of love, here is no other thing that can be added to or subtracted from it apart from to love one another equally. Christ had said that except your love exceeded that of the Pharisees and the Scribes you cannot enter into the kingdom. If you love only those who love you, what have you done that exceeds the righteousness of the Pharisees and the Scribes? If you love only those who love you, you have not gone beyond what the thieves and demons do. So, brethren, the era of stubbornness has passed. This is the time for us all to submit and adhere to the instructions of truth. Our first lesson shall now be read.
First lesson: John 15 : 12
"This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you."
Brethren, that is all. People claim there are ten commandments as if God is in Himself ten. Ten commandments mean ten horns. And these ten horns also signify ten kings. But this one here is only one God and King, the one Father, Spirit and Teacher. So the God present here with us is this love. The Father that is with us in this world today is love. The Teacher we have now in heaven and on earth is this love. The Spirit that we see here is this love. If, therefore, we love Him, we shall love every body even as He loves us.
Whatever we do, even if we live for 500 years, except we love Him we cannot have eternal life. You are living witnesses to the fact that since man's creation only Christ, it was said shall rule for a thousand years with His followers. And the only person who has not tasted of death is Christ. Since the Father does not die, He shall not die either. Why would He taste of death? This is because He loves everybody as the Father loved Him. The Father Himself does not die because He loves every body and every other thing created by Him equally.
This lesson is given to me and you so that we should practise and die no more. God is love, Our Lord Jesus Christ is love, the Holy spirit is love, the King and Teacher is Love. If we abide in this love, we shall taste of death no more.
Think about this. What do you lose if you love me and I love the other person, and we all love ourselves? There is no fear in love. Perfect love drives away fear. This is because fear is accompanied with punishment. You are able to move with a pistol in your pocket, to carry with you some juju or any harmful implement because you have no love. What do you shoot with a gun? What would you cut with a knife? Is it the person God has asked you to love as He has loved you that you want to kill with these implements?
Do you people not discover that you have left undone what God has asked you to do into doing that which He advised you not to do? Some people claim it is their mother who worries them. This is not true. What worries you is lack of love and disobedience toward God's injunction and the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ. You have refused His lesson. It is also not your father who wants to kill you as you claim. What hunts you is your refusal to adhere to God's instruction.
If we obey this instruction and love one another you shall love your father and mother. If you practise this injunction, you shall love your wife, husband and children. If you abide by this instruction, you shall love neighbour, your tenant, your landlord, the king, the prince and God. You shall indeed love everybody.
You have heard in the scripture that a neighbour or brother shall not teach his neighbour or brother about God. But that all shall know Him from the young to the old. It is now revealed unto the entire world that we are all brethren. Therefore, the work of the entire world and the angels is to love one another.
Love is God, love is Christ and love is the Holy Spirit. Wherever there is love, death does not exist there, sickness and darkness are not attracted to that type of place. If you refuse to adhere to this instruction to love one another, you have not rejected man's instruction but that of Christ. That was why Christ said whoever rejects. Him and His commandments, He, the Lord shall not judge the one but His words, those words shall judge him on the last day.
My question is; what trouble or pain is there to love one another, not to plan evil against anybody; not to steal somebody's property, not to hate or curse him or impute sin to him? What do you lose? You lose nothing. What do we gain? It means we have gone from death to life. Death no longer sees us; sickness does not find us again, tribulation does not find us any longer. This therefore means we have entered into heaven.
Brethren, can you now see that you, and the entire world, are wasting your own time? This is the reason this Kingdom is brought unto you for you to love me and I love you and the other person to love one and we love him too. That is all that is the kingdom of God.
Know from today that if you do not love everybody it means that you do not love God and do not comply with His instruction. Love is the government of the day, of this new era. There is no other law. The covenant of this kingdom is this love. Brethren, I do not intend to take you further. The second lesson shall be read.
Second lesson: John 14 : 15
"If you love me, keep my commandments.”
Brethren, have you heard that? This is not the time one can deceive God. It is not the era one can deceive himself either. This is not the time one can deceive the other. He says that if you love Him you will keep His commandments.
What are His commandments? This is to love one another as He loves you. But if you claim that you love God but do not love your brother are you not a liar? If you also claim that you love God but do not love any other person are you not a liar? If you say that God knows the inside of your heart that you love Him but you do not love your child, your brother and sister and any other person for that matter do you not realise that you are a deceiver? If you claim that you know God but do not obey His commandment and do not love one another do you not realise that you are a deceiver?
That is the reason as a Brotherhood member, if you misbehave outside people around you would ask you whether that was what you were taught. If you go out and happen to quarrel with somebody, other passersby will say you are not a Brotherhood member because they normally do not quarrel. If you go to the police station and report somebody who steals your property^ they will ask you the church you attend. If you tell them you are a Brotherhood member they will say you are not because Brotherhood members do not report cases to the police. If you take somebody to court and the judge asks you which church denomination you belong, if you say it is Brotherhood, he will tell you that you are not because Brotherhood members do not go to court.
It is said in the scripture that even if you distribute all that you have to the poor and get yourself burned in the fire, if you do not have love, it does not profit you anything. Anybody who does the other evil has no love. Any person who constitutes himself into a stumbling block has no love. Any person who finds his brother in want and refuses to help him has no love. Anybody who tells lies against his brethren has no love. Any person who claims to be better than his brother has to love. All those who impute sin to others have no love. All those who claim to be more righteous than any other person have no love.
That is the reason it is said that any person who sows seeds of discord and causes division in the church after advising him for up to two times and he refuses to hear, do not have any dealings with him because he has no love. Let our Golden text be read.
Golden text: 1 John 4: 21
“Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.”
It is pitiable to realise that for quite a long time now love is being preached nobody puts it into practice. From January to December of each year I continue to preach this same love. There is no other Gospel left un-preached. Love is the only Gospel in this kingdom that has come down on earth today.
Everything shall pass away but love shall never pass away forever. Patience in itself as a virtue is a branch of love. It is also the root of love. Truth too is the root of love. Mercy is the root of love. All other virtues are the root of love. To summarize, everything is contained in love.
So, brethren, you are called, the entire world, to partake in this marriage feast, this love. To make the dead to rise, to be a crusader, chorister, elder and to have been to Lagos or America does not profit you any thing if you do not have love.
9.4 Practise love always
The first lesson has made it clear that "This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you." The challenge, therefore that is thrown unto the entire world is contained in the statement that whoever that loves Him shall keep His commandment. So anybody who loves God shall love everybody. If you do not love everybody it therefore means you do not. love God. If you love a black man only but do not love a white man, it means you do not love God. Who is a black man or white man? God is both of them. Christ had said that in as much as you do good thing even to a very little child, it is to Him you have done, If you did not do it to a little child, you would equally not have done it to Him.
You have been taught to an extent you should know that the entire world constitute the children of God. This is not a thing you cook food and store in your house and refusing to give it to the little hungry children around you but claiming you are keeping it for Christ. That small child, man or woman you have refused to give the food is Jesus Christ. You have no love.
Do you not know up till now that anybody you do good to you do it to God? Anybody you hate too it is God you are hating. Any person you love it is God that you love. If you speak good about any person, it is God you are praising. If you people have had this knowledge, why is hatred and enmity prevalent in your midst, here in the Brotherhood world.
Do you think this love consists in coming from Lagos, Ghana, Cameroon, etc to Calabar to pray? In those days people came from all parts of the world to Jerusalem to worship God. This thing was not pleasing to God after all because the people had no love. The entire universe has never done any pleasing thing to God because they have no love. The first and last thing God wants is love, the love of humanity. If you love God you shall be able to love one another.
Do you remember what Christ asked Peter? Do you love me more than all these things? Peter replied, Lord, you know that I love you. The Lord then asked Peter to feed his sheep. Who are the sheep? They are human beings?
The Lord further said that any person who loves Him should love every other person. That was the reason the work of God was so exciting. Whether Jew or Creek, man or woman, they regarded each other equally. That is the reason- the work of God was so exciting. But the privilege that we have at this last time is greater than that of the disciples. For according to the words of the Lord, we are waiting for the new heaven and new earth where righteousness abound. Have you not found that Comforter in our midst? Do you not also see the new heaven and new earth, the fulfillment of His promise?
Brethren, this is the reason I continue to say that you do not know where you are. What do you struggle for here? This is the new heaven and new earth where only love prevails and rules. A local adage says that when you see the dead, tears shall not fail to role down your eyes. You have now seen the dead, but have you shed tears?
Have you not seen this love preached to you? Have you not discovered this peace preached to you in your body? Have you not also seen and felt the truth which your fathers did not see? Have you not seen patience, humility and the rest of the good virtues complete here? Why then have you refused to have love?
Love does no evil. It is the fulfilling of the law. Where else in the world apart from Brotherhood do you find people of all classes share food in the same plate and drink in the same glass without fighting and quarreling? Therefore brethren, this is the reason the entire world is called and gathered together In this school of love to teach you the lessons of Christ as the foundation of this Kingdom.
From today brethren, you have come to the understanding that if you love God you will keep HIS COMMANDMENTS and love all men on earth. You can see from Christ that He loved His Father and that was why He was able to love the entire world. The Father also loves Himself that is why He is able to love the entire world and everything therein.
So, if we love God, we will love all things; animals, fishes, trees, men and birds. We shall have no problem. Know therefore that if you do not love one another, you do not love God because the law states that anybody who loves God will love his brother.
I do not joke with my God, some people will claim! Yet, they do not waste time to beat their children and hate their husbands and wives. Do you not see that you are a deceiver? Why do you claim you love God but do not love your brethren the man you see with your naked eyes? Do you not know that with that God judges us?
Brethren a stroke of the cane is sufficient unto the wise. Let those who have ears hear may God bless His holy words Amen.
THANK YOU FATHER
