GOD'S DIFFERENT MANIFESTATIONS ON EARTH
FIRST BIBLE LESSON: HEBREWS 1:6
"And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the
world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him."
SECOND BIBLE LESSON: REVELATION 3:12
"Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my
God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him
the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God,which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven
from my God; and I will write upon him my new name."
GOLDEN TEXT: JOHN 14:19
"Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye
see me: because I live, ye shall live also."
This sermon serves as a reminder of what God has said
about His children and the power He has now bestowed
upon them. It may interest you to note that things have
remarkably changed from their previous states to better
ones.
You may recall, when our Lord Jesus Christ was to be
arrested and Peter tried to resist, Christ advised him to put
back his sword into its sheath, for whoever takes the sword
shall perish by the sword. He continued: Thinkest thou that I
cannot now pray to my Father and He shall presently give
me more than 12 legions of angels? (Matt. 26:53).
-

In the above text, a situation arose where He considered
begging the Father for 12 legions of angels. However, this
position has changed today. In view of this change, the first
begotten does not pray the Father to give Him anything. This
is because, everything is now at His disposal. Most
importantly, all the angels must worship Him. This explains
the difference between now and the past. It is said: And
again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the world,
He said, And let all the angels worship Him (Hebrews 1:6).
Now, the power is so great that many people assume that itdoes not come from God. So great is the power that any
organization or society you contact in any part of the world,
seeking for power, will refer you to 34, Ambo Street,
Calabar, Cross River Star, Nigeria, the Headquarters of
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. If you go to the Hades or
inside the water or up the sky, looking for power, all the
inhabitants there will surely refer you to 34 Ambo Street,
Calabar. They will also advise you to get baptized into thefold if you have not done so. The situation as recorded in the
first lesson is very revealing. It could be compared to the
honor accorded a Head of State or President of a country
notwithstanding his age, sex or origin. As a President, all the
citizens of the country have to obey and respect him; and he
has to exercise all the powers that go with such an exalted
office.
Furthermore, if a truck-pusher should become a President or
Prime Minister, his status changes automatically and he
would be called, known and addressed as per his new
designation: Mr. President, for instance, and not as Okon,
-
8/9/2019 God's Different Manifestations on Earth
5/27
the truck-pusher. Any person who ventures to call the
President by his old name or occupation would have the full
wrath of law upon him. If he had been your friend or relation,
the prevailing situation would bring a new dimension into
the relationship.
The second lesson also contains facts for discussion. God
says: Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple
of my God, and he shall go no more out and I will write upon
Him the name of my God which is new Jerusalem, which
cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write
upon him my new name (Revelation 3:13).
The questions now are: Who knows the new name? Is the
new name, Jesus, Christ, Messiah, Saviour, Lamb of God or
what? This is the mystery for the entire world to unravel. HE
HAS COME WITH A NEW NAME THAT IS DIFFERENT FROM
THE OLD ONES BY WHICH HE WAS KNOWN, CALLED AND
ADDRESSED. NOTE THAT, IF HE WAS TO ANSWER ANY OF
HIS OLD NAMES, THE WHOLE WORLD WOULD HAVE KNOWNHIM. Do you think the new Jerusalem which comes from
heaven is the one in Israel under dispute? Every person who
reads this portion of the Bible should give deep
consideration to it.
The golden text is a statement made by God Himself: Yet a
little while, and the world seeth me no more: but ye see me:
because I live; ye shall live also. (John 14:19). Who are the
ones referred to as those that would see Him no more?
These are fornicators, liars, murderers, thieves, idolaters,
smokers, snuffers, drunks and all those who live abominable
lives - the unbelievers.
-

Consider this situation: If you had known a person and were
familiar with him but suddenly he disappeared from your
sight and consequently puts on a new name and look, could
you identify such a person? The person might even stand
before you and converse with you, but because he had not
introduced himself to you, you would not know and identify
him. On the other hand, even if he introduced himself to you,
you could still doubt him, because of his new name and new
look. BUT ALL THOSE WHO IDENTIFY HIM AND BELIEVE IN
HIM WOULD BE REJOICING WITH HIM. THEY WOULD BE
ENJOYING HIS COMPANY AND ALSO REAP THE FRUITACCRUING FROM SUCH ASSOCIATION. THOSE WHO
DISBELIEVE HIM WOULD BE MISSING BOTH HIS COMPANY
AND HIS GOODNESS.
Though people may doubt the validity of such claims, the
truth must prevail. Even in the law court, evidence tendered
are enough to corroborate or give validity to the case in
dispute. SIMILARLY, THERE ARE NOW A MULTITUDE OFWITNESSES TESTIFYING ABOUT THE PRESENCE OF GOD
ON EARTH. THOSE WHO CONTINUE TO GAZE INTO THE SKY
EXPECTING OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST TO DESCEND THERE
FROM SHOULD PRAY FERVENTLY FOR THEMSELVES.
Another part of the second lesson that is worthy of note
is that which states: Him that overcometh will I make a
pillar in the temple of my God and he shall go no more out.
This is a conditional promise. The promise here is that of
being made a pillar in the temple of God. For one to merit
such a position, the condition is that, the one has to
overcome. In other words, you cannot be made a pillar in
God's temple if you do not overcome. This explains the
-
8/9/2019 God's Different Manifestations on Earth
7/27
reason why many members of Brotherhood of the Cross and
Star cannot deviate an inch from their doctrine. Such
persons are those who prefer to die in Brotherhood of the
Cross and Star.
The problem with some members of Brotherhood of the
Cross and Star is that they do not trust in God. They do not
really believe that God does not joke with His word. They do
not know that whenever God utters any word, it must come
to fulfillment. Is there any church denomination, institution
of learning, healing home or hospital, where all the
members, students or patients have residential statustherein? Or simply asked, can members of any church
denomination, patients in any hospital or customers in
business and so on, have access to free accommodation in
such an institution?
In Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, many families are
sustained here. The parents and children live in bethels and
are catered for, free. Such children are trained, free, to anylevel of education.
In Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, there are many well-to-
do persons who find bethels even more comfortable to live
in, than their estates, since their baptism. How the whole
thing works and how the situation comes about, no one can
explain except the Father.
Nobody would now doubt the possibility of one leaving his
house at about 4:30 a.m. only to return the following day or
days, after consecutive prayer services and activities. In the
world, such a story would cause people to look at you as
-
8/9/2019 God's Different Manifestations on Earth
8/27
having dubious intent or getting involved in some nefarious
activities in such a place. This singular event is the
fulfillment of the words of the Scriptures that, where the
carcass is, there also will the eagles gather. (Matt 24:28).
People are coming from America, India, Britain, Russia and
other parts of the world to Calabar, Nigeria, to see the
Father and embrace this kingdom. What is obtainable in
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is not such that you
should ask anybody to come in and obtain. IT IS GIVEN
THAT ONLY THE ELECTS OF GOD, HIS TRUE CHILDREN, SEE
HIM LAVISHLY. OTHERS, THE NON-BELIEVERS, DO NOT SEEHIM. THIS EXPLAINS THE REASON WHY TWO PEOPLE CAN
LIVE IN THE SAME ROOM AND ONE WOULD BE SEEING THE
FATHER LAVISHLY WHEREAS THE OTHER WOULD NOT.
PEOPLE FROM FAR AND WIDE ARE SEEING THE FATHER
WHEREVER THEY RESIDE. WHEREAS THERE ARE MANY
LIVING VERY CLOSE TO HIM BUT CANNOT SEE HIM. THIS IS
A SITUATION THE ENTIRE WORLD SHOULD THINK OVER.
During the days of our Lord Jesus Christ, people gathered
and requested Him to tell them who He was. On one
occasion, He told the people that: no man knoweth the son,
but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save
the Son, and he to whosoever the Son will reveal him.
(Matthew 11:27).
If you consider all the patriarchs that existed, none was
given more than an angel as a guard. Moses, Elijah (who was
even an angel), John the Baptist and the rest of them had
only one angel guarding each of them. Hades, the ocean,
death, sickness, Lucifer, rain, sun, thunder and the rest of
-
8/9/2019 God's Different Manifestations on Earth
9/27
the phenomena are angels. IF THEREFORE, THERE EXISTS A
BEING TO WHOM ALL THE CREATIONS HAVE TO BOW DOWN
AND WORSHIP, WHY NOT ASK YOURSELF WHO SUCH A
BEING IS? Those who continue to doubt and long to find His
source will never know it until doomsday.
An adage has it that, blindness is evil and ignorance is a
disease. The entire world is ignorant and blind. These are
the major problems plaguing the world. If all the messengers
that were sent by God had all been systematically
eliminated, do you expect Him to continue in the same
manner of sending messengers? When the King of Assyriathreatened King Hezekiah with a letter of intent to destroy
Him, the latter did not plan a counter offensive but quietly
took the letter to the temple and surrendered it to God in
prayer. God hearkened and immediately sent an angel that
destroyed all the Assyrian soldiers and the city itself. If a
single angel could be so powerful, consider the being to
whom all angels should bow and worship. The world thinks
that Satan is so powerful; but this is the same being (Satan)whom an angel got chained and cast into the bottomless pit
(Revelation 20:1-3).
All the pestilences, famine, death, drought, wind and so on
are angels, messengers of God. When Jonah was sent to
Nineveh, he refused to go. Instead, he boarded a boat to
Tarsus. God sent an angel who caused commotion in the
boat until Jonah admitted responsibility for the turbulence.
He was immediately thrown into the sea and a whale, an
angel of God, swallowed him and subsequently delivered him
at Nineveh. That was the handiwork of God.
-
8/9/2019 God's Different Manifestations on Earth
10/27
If the angels can be so powerful, can you imagine the power
of Him who is the first begotten of God who shall be brought
into the world and whom all the angels shall be asked to
worship? The words "the first begotten', therefore, do not
indicate a tree, fish or any creature other than a human
being. Note that, God has never told any angel, "this day, I
have begotten you, you are my son". (Heb 1:5). Emphasis is
on the word "SON" a noun used to describe the male
offspring from the human race.
If I may ask, whose children were Adam and Eve? They were
the children of God. ADAM REPRESENTED THE FIRSTINCARNATION OF CHRIST AND HE MARRIED AND BEGOT
CHILDREN. WE ALL ARE THE OFFSPRING OF ADAM. DID
THAT STOP HIM FROM BEING A CHILD OF GOD? DID THAT
MAKE HIM SECOND TO ANY OTHER PERSON? APART FROM
NOAH, WHO ELSE LIVED AS LONG AS ADAM? ADAM LIVED
FOR 930 YEARS.
When Adam needed a partner, same was produced from oneof his ribs. Before this was done, God caused him to go into
a deep sleep, which was death. You can therefore, realize
that death started with Adam. If you say that God is not a
man, how come that man is made in His image? Why was
man not created in the image of a tree or animal? Why also
did God not breathe into a tree or stone to become a partner
unto Adam? Or did He not have the power to do so?
THE SECOND ADAM, THE SPIRIT THAT QUICKENED, CAME
FROM ABOVE, HE WAS THE CHRIST. AT THE SECOND
ADVENT, HE BORE A NEW NAME, JESUS CHRIST. EVE ALSO
REINCARNATED BUT WITH A NEW NAME, MARY, THE
-
8/9/2019 God's Different Manifestations on Earth
11/27
MOTHER OF JESUS. WOULD YOU SAY THAT BECAUSE OF
THE CHANGE IN THEIR NAMES AND CIRCUMSTANCES,
CHRIST AND MARY WERE NOT ADAM AND EVE INCARNATES
RESPECTIVELY? The scripture states: For as by one man's
disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience
of one shall many be made righteous. (Romans 5:19).
What is needed now is for man to retrace his steps towards
redeeming his tarnished image: Experience, they say, is the
best teacher. AFTER GOING THROUGH THE ORDEAL AND
LEARNING HIS LESSONS THE BITTER WAY, THE FIRST
ADAM CAME BACK AS CHRIST DENOUNCING MARRIAGEAND EVERYTHING THAT WAS MUNDANE. 1 Corinthians
15:45-47 states:
AND SO IT IS WRITTEN, THE FIRST MAN ADAM WAS MADE A
LIVING SOUL; THE LAST ADAM WAS MADE A QUICKENING
SPIRIT.
HOWBEIT THAT WAS NOT FIRST WHICH IS SPIRITUAL, BUTTHAT WHICH IS NATURAL; AND AFTERWARD THAT WHICH
IS SPIRITUAL.
The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the
Lord from heaven. This explains the reason why Jesus Christ
came to atone for the sins that He committed. His second
advent was, therefore, a corrective one after which He
declared on the cross, "IT IS FINISHED". The declaration
marked the end of the old deeds and the beginning of a new
era and a new life.
THE DOWNFALL OF ADAM IS TRACEABLE TO EVE. FOR
-
8/9/2019 God's Different Manifestations on Earth
12/27
THAT REASON, HE TOOK STOCK OF EVENTS AND
RESTRAINED HIMSELF. IN HIS SECOND ADVENT, INSTEAD
OF HAVING EVE AS A PARTNER, CHRIST ONLY PASSED
THROUGH EVE AS MARY. THE SIMPLE UNDERSTANDING
HERE IS THAT, THE SAME WOMAN, EVE, THAT CAUSED THE
DOWNFALL OF ADAM ALSO BROUGHT ABOUT THE BIRTH
OF CHRIST, THE SECOND ADAM.
It was prophesied that a virgin girl shall bring forth the
savior of the world. If God had not taken control of Mary and
made her a virgin, the world would not have been saved till
date.
EVE WAS BROUGHT OUT OF ADAM'S RIBS. TO BALANCE
THE EQUATION THEREFORE, IN HIS SECOND ADVENT, GOD
MADE IT SUCH THAT ADAM WAS BORN BY EVE INCARNATE,
MARY. EVEN AS A WOMAN CAME THROUGH A MAN, SO
ALSO HAS MAN COME THROUGH A WOMAN. IF THE FIRST
ADAM DID NOT TURN INTO A SPIRIT, HOW WOULD IT HAVE
BEEN POSSIBLE FOR HIM TO REINCARNATE AS THESECOND ADAM, THE QUICKENING SPIRIT? NOBODY CAN
QUESTION GOD OR CONTEST HIS ACTIONS. HE DOES HIS
THINGS THE WAY IT PLEASES HIM.
ANOTHER TOSS OF THE COIN. IF IN HIS FIRST AND SECOND
ADVENTS, HE WAS CALLED ADAM AND JESUS
RESPECTIVELY, IN HIS NEXT COMING, WOULD YOU STILL
EXPECT HIM TO ANSWER ANY OF THESE NAMES? AGAIN, IF
AFTER HER FIRST ADVENT, EVE CAME BACK THE SECOND
TIME TO ANSWER HER FORMER NAME, WHAT MEANING
WOULD THAT HAVE CONVEYED? MOREOVER, IF DURING
HER FIRST APPEARANCE SHE WAS KNOWN, CALLED AND
-
8/9/2019 God's Different Manifestations on Earth
13/27
ADDRESSED AS EVE, AND IN THE SUBSEQUENT ADVENT
SHE ANSWERED MARY, DO YOU THINK THAT IN HER
SUBSEQUENT ADVENT OR RE-APPEARANCE, SHE WOULD
CONTINUE ANSWERING MARY?
The first Adam was a product from the earth. The second
was a spirit. Now, from where will the third Adam come, and
of what stuff will He be made? Do you not think He is
capable of coming from anywhere, having fulfilled every
condition as regards dual origination? He could be man
(earthy), or spirit, man or woman, young or old, white or
black. He can be anything or everything. He has no limitednature and existence.
Now, consider this fact: if Adam had not Eve, through whom
they begot children, how would the earth have been
replenished? Then, the second Adam (Jesus), having gone
through the several ordeals and learnt His lessons the hard
way in his first advent as Adam, decided to live a simple and
quiet life in his second advent. That was so because Hissecond advent was to be a temporary one, and with a brief
straightforward assignment to execute. For that reason, He
needed neither house, wife, children, nor any property. He
finally atoned for the sins He committed and promised to
come back into the world.
IN HIS LAST ADVENT, AS THE LAST ADAM, HE HAS COME IN
A BIG WAY WITH HIS GROUP OF ANGELS, HIS FAMILY, HIS
DISCIPLES AND EVERYTHING THAT WOULD ENHANCE THE
ACCOMPLISHMENT OF HIS TASK. THIS IS SO BECAUSE HIS
STAY IN THIS ADVENT IS NOT A TEMPORARY ONE. IF YOU
ARE TO LIVE IN A SOCIETY WHERE THE INHABITANTS ARE
-
8/9/2019 God's Different Manifestations on Earth
14/27
EVIL AND ABOMINABLE, IT IS EITHER YOU GO THERE WITH
THE INTENTION TO BEND THEM OR JOIN THEM. IN ORDER
TO BEND THEM, YOU HAVE TO GO THERE AND ESTABLISH
YOUR FAMILY, YOUR CULTURE, YOUR GOVERNMENT AND
YOUR KINGDOM ENTIRELY. YOU SHOULD ALSO BE
PREPARED TO TEACH AND EXHORT THE PEOPLE. AND THIS
IS WHAT OBTAINS IN BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND
STAR, THE NEW KINGDOM OF GOD WHEREIN DWELLETH
RIGHTEOUSNESS. EXCEPT YOU REPENT, YOU CANNOT
INHERIT IT.
Have you ever heard of a cow giving birth to a goat? Or haveyou ever heard of a pig giving birth to a sheep? If the
genealogy of Jesus the Christ is traced, it will lead to Adam.
The reason why mankind is unable to practice the word of
God is because of his evil inheritance from his forefathers.
Your great grandparents were thieves, murderers,
fornicators, idolaters who generally lived abominable lives,
and these traits were passed on to their children and to
other generations yet unborn. You are now exhibiting thehabits of your parents which you inherited through the
blood.
No amount of preaching can change an evil man and no evil
parent can produce righteous children.
Zacharias and Elizabeth lived for so long without any child
because God wanted their flesh to be mortified. God wanted
to draw them closer to Himself and get all calamities
divorced from them so that any offspring they produce could
imbibe the virtues. If they had an issue early in their
marriage, such a child would have been an ordinary child
-
8/9/2019 God's Different Manifestations on Earth
15/27
and would have lived an unholy life. Zacharias and Elizabeth
therefore, were delayed so that the Holy Spirit could pass
into them through Elijah. John the Baptist was able to do all
that he did because he was not in the flesh. I reiterate until
doomsday, evil parents will continue to beget evil children.
Man is the blood, the water is Christ, while the spirit is God.
It is for this reason that Brotherhood of the Cross and Star
preaches and wages war against sins. If the entire world
were to be righteous, then the human race would be without
sin because all the parents would be holy and would thus
beget undefiled children. In other words, at a point in yourlife when you could be completely repentant and holy, God
could use your righteousness to cleanse your children. This
explains the reason why it is said: "For bodily exercise
profiteth little; but godliness is profitable unto all things,
having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to
come." (1 Timothy 4:8).
Read the first lesson.
First Bible Lesson: Hebrews 1:6
"And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the
world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him."
That was God's promise to His first son. One may like to ask
of the promise God made for the rest of His sons. Or would
you say that God was wrong or partial in making such a
promise to only one of His sons? The answer is clear. THAT
WAS THE FIRST SON, AND SO, GOD WAS NOT WRONG TO
MAKE SUCH A PROMISE UNTO HIM. YOU ARE MY WITNESS
-
8/9/2019 God's Different Manifestations on Earth
16/27
THAT EVERY FIRST SON OCCUPIES AN EXALTED AND
ENVIABLE POSITION IN EACH FAMILY. IT IS NATURAL.
NOBODY, THEREFORE, HAS THE RIGHT TO QUESTION GOD
FOR WHATEVER HE DOES OR TO CONTEST HIS
STATEMENTS.
There is this story of what happened to Lot when he
departed Sodom and Gomorrah. His wife, because of her lust
for material things, became a pillar of salt. God has always
been the sustainer of mankind and the master-planner of all
things. No man knows and can do anything. Lot had two
daughters, both of them were virgins. Something happenedbetween them. After a certain while, the second daughter
gave much wine to her father until he became drunk and
lured him to sleep with her. Lot did, and the daughter
became pregnant.
Who gave the girls such a knowledge to fuddle her father
with drinks? Would you say that it was not God that was
responsible? When the first daughter became aware of thesituation and inquired how the pregnancy came about, the
younger sister told her the process. The elder sister applied
the same method and was also put in the family way by the
father. But for that wisdom, the family of Lot would have
been exterminated. Whose design was that?
God designed the same plan for Judah who had two sons.
The eldest got married but had no child until he died. After
his death, his younger brother was asked to take over the
woman as wife and raise children. He did not like the idea of
marrying his late elder brother's wife, but because he was
forced he had to succumb. For that reason, when he
-
8/9/2019 God's Different Manifestations on Earth
17/27
resolved to sleep with the woman, he withdrew himself,
when it was time for him to 'come' into the woman. By that
singular act of withdrawal, the younger son of Judah was
guilty of murder. (More on this is contained in the printed
sermon by the Father titled: "Abortion is Murder"
The young man paid for this act with his life. You may recall
that God had made a promise to the house of Judah that the
crown and the glorious staff shall not depart that house. It is
now clear that by his selfish and disobedient act, Judah's
younger son was resisting the will of God. Judah was left
alone after the death of his second son. Now, what aboutGod's promise to the house of Judah? Age, you know, was
telling very much on Judah.
One day, as Judah was strolling, he met one beautiful lady
who caught his admiration. He approached her and courted
her immediately. When Judah asked the lady what she
would receive in exchange for her love, she demanded no
other thing than his staff. Judah was outwitted. Who gavethe lady such a wisdom? The deal was thus settled and the
staff given out in exchange. Before long, rumors started
spreading that, a certain lady, Judah's daughter-in-law and
widow, was pregnant.
According to the Jewish law, for a woman to be pregnant
out of wedlock tantamounts to adultery and it attracted a
death penalty. When the story was told to Judah. He decided
to find out the truth himself. Arriving at the house, Judah
met the lady in the exact condition as rumored. When he
asked the lady how the pregnancy came about, she quietly
went into her room and brought out the staff which Judah
-
8/9/2019 God's Different Manifestations on Earth
18/27
gave in exchange for love. Judah was shocked to his teeth.
The case of pregnancy out of wedlock died a natural death,
and the lady delivered a baby boy into Judah's household.
That was God's designed plan; so that His promise to that
house might be fulfilled.
Would you say that there is any evil in such a plan? The
answer is: No. This explains the fact that, no one is
responsible for most of the things he/she does. Even Adam
and Eve cannot be blamed for eating the forbidden fruit.
They were prompted by God to eat it so that His will might
be fulfilled. God can be merciful to whom He pleases andcan harden one's heart if the situation so demands. Recall
the case of Pharaoh. He can cause you to do anything which
you would otherwise not have done. It is, therefore,
erroneous for anyone to say that Pharaoh was hard-hearted.
When Moses accidentally caused the death of an Egyptian,
he was satisfied that at least, nobody saw him. The
following day, when an Israelite reminded him of theincident as he tried to stop the Israelite fighting another, he
was surprised and fled the city. That was the exact time
God wanted him to depart Egypt. The reason why God did
this can be traced to the words spoken by Christ as
contained in Matthew 19:23: That a rich man shall hardly
enter into the kingdom of heaven. Left to Moses alone, he
would not have loved to miss the goodies in Pharaoh's
palace. But for the will of God to be fulfilled, he had to be
moved into an action he did not plan for. Before God, all
things are possible. The lesson here is that, one should not
despise, judge, condemn, or blame God for anything. Rather,
one should be thankful to God for whatever situation he
-
8/9/2019 God's Different Manifestations on Earth
19/27
finds himself.
Many members of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star were
brought in by other members who have since left the fold.
They had to leave the fold because they could not overcome,
and could therefore, not be made pillars in the temple of
God. The ability to do anything comes from God. Without
Him, no one can achieve anything. On the other hand, there
are yet many who have longed to depart from Brotherhood of
the Cross and Star but could not.
If this kingdom had come from man, definitely it would notstand. If it were an organization dependent on money or
government, this kingdom would since have fallen. The
world has tried and tempted members of this kingdom in
various ways but has always met with a tough resistance.
This is the reason why they conclude that Brotherhood of
the Cross and Star is something else, something associated
with Beelzebub.
The things a man treasures and holds in high esteem are
nothing before God. But the ones he despises and accords
no recognition are the ones God exalts, in order to overcome
and be established in this kingdom as pillars. Many others
have faced similar distasteful situations engendered by their
families, parents, spouses, children and communities, just to
stay firm in Brotherhood. On both sides, God is responsible
for the actions. Even the white garment; it is not easy to put
it on in this kingdom let alone to openly declare for
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, and accept Olumba
Olumba Obu as your Father. You cannot do these except the
spirit of God is in you.
-
8/9/2019 God's Different Manifestations on Earth
20/27
There are certain people who love Brotherhood of the Cross
and Star, but their obstacle is the wearing of the white
garment. All the same, those who overcome will win the
prize of being made a pillar in the temple of God. Those who
come in here and see the truth are unshakable in spite of
whatever problems and agonies they have to pass through.
THERE IS NOTHING IN THE WORLD THAT IS WORTH
APPRECIATING. IF YOU LEAN ON GOD AND SUBMIT TO HIM,
HE WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU. There are many who come to
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star like people attending anyother church with care-free attitudes. They have forgotten
that there is no conventional church denomination, healing
home, hospital, commercial house or institution of learning,
that could be so kind and benevolent as to allow the less-
privileged to dwell therein whether temporarily or not, and
be fed and clothed free. Such gestures can only be found
here in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. This explains the
maxim, 'no cross, no crown'. In other words, you cannot reapwhere you have not sown. Do not expect to benefit
bountifully from what you have not sacrificed anything for.
Anything that you have on a platter of gold is never durable.
God does not behave as man. He is neither flippant nor
deceitful. He keeps His promises unto Himself and fulfills
them only in due season. What Brotherhood of the Cross and
Star has done for mankind, no government not even parents,
have done for their children. What you do for the world is an
exercise in futility. But any service you render to God
returns to you with abundant rewards. All those who
departed Brotherhood of the Cross and Star for whatever
reason have every cause to lament and, in fact, they are
-
8/9/2019 God's Different Manifestations on Earth
21/27
mourning now.
Read the second lesson again.
SECOND BIBLE LESSON: REVELATION 3:12
"Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my
God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him
the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God,
which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven
from God and I will write upon him my new name."
The above passage constitutes God's promise. Therefore,
whoever leaves Brotherhood of the Cross and Star does so
because he has not been able to overcome, and be made a
pillar in the temple of God. Any person who is selective in
his service to God and in the method of attending prayers or
other activities (by coming to worship say, once or twice in
a week or month) is yet to overcome. The condition is that,
for anyone to be made a pillar in the temple of God and bemade to stay (or abide) therein forever, he has to conquer. If
you prefer to marry, or crave for other material things, then
you have not overcome. Though you may sleep in the temple
of God, except you are able to overcome, you cannot be
made a pillar in the temple of God. As such, you can leave at
any time.
There are many in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star who
have gone far ahead in the practice of the gospel in this
kingdom. There are yet, others who still drink, smoke, eat
flesh, commit fornication and adultery and other vices. Such
people cannot overcome and cannot consequently be

crowned and be made pillars in the temple of God. The
children of God who have conquered cannot indulge in such
acts; and have, thus, been made pillars in the temple of God.
In the kingdom of God, there is neither day nor night; no one
has time for himself. There is complete devotion to God. God
cannot allow anyone to be tempted beyond his capability,
and in the midst of every temptation He always appears as a
Savior. There is nothing God cannot do for His children. He
has deliberately hidden this kingdom from the rich and the
so-called wise men of this world. He always starts a serious
affair in a very simple and playful manner, in such a way thatmany so-called wise and learned men would not take it
seriously. People, the world over, are calling on Jesus
everywhere, and are expecting Him to descend from the sky.
The knowledge of God confounds man. If God were to think
and behave the way man does, then man would, by now,
have discovered and overcome Him.
The situation in God's kingdom could not be compared withthe secular government. If you work in any government
department, there is time for retirement, transfer and so on.
But on the contrary, many have retired without any benefit.
But that is not so in the service of God. In the first place,
there is no transfer, no leave and no retirement in God's
kingdom and therefore, the benefits accruing therefrom are
great. In the kingdom of God, it is only joy that reigns
supreme. The 'VIPS' of the world who have seen this
kingdom come in here like Nicodemus at night and get
baptized. But this is not a kingdom to which one should
belong in secrecy. It is clear and open to all. Read the
golden text again.

GOLDEN TEXT: JOHN 14:19
"Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more, but ye
see me; because I live, ye shall live also."
Beloved, heaven and earth shall pass away, but not a jot of
the word that comes out from God's mouth would go
unfulfilled. (Matt 5:18) When you hear people of the world
announcing their expectation of our Lord Jesus Christ from
the sky; and how they really gaze into the sky, watching the
time He will descend, you laugh them to scorn. But whilelaughing at them, you should also be sympathetic towards
them. Even when you tell them that the same Jesus Christ is
dwelling with men, they will cast disdainful looks at you and
regard you as being insane.
They forget the fact that continents and nations of the world
have different governments. Moreover, should Christ decide
to come down directly to any of the cities or villages inNigeria with the trumpet sounding for all to hear, how would
people in America, India, Britain and even some neighboring
countries behold Him?
No matter how far away He may be in the sky, not all eyes
can behold Him; or shall He be suspended in mid-air? Those
who have surrendered themselves to His words have seen
Him, and He has revealed Himself to them. This explains the
reason why people travel from far and near to come and pay
homage to Him.
Except God calls you, you cannot follow Him; and unless,

you are chosen, you cannot be His elect. You should,
therefore, not bother anybody with the story of Brotherhood
of the Cross and Star, with the view to convincing him. The
ways of God are quite different from man's. That is the
reason why, no matter the amount of convincing revelations
and stories you may tell somebody about Brotherhood of the
Cross and Star, he will find it difficult to believe. All he
wants to hear is that Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is a
blood-sucking organization which is only out to wreak
havoc. In spite of these untrue stories, many people have
been baptized only to realize that the stories are false and
baseless.
We have every cause to rejoice and thank God for His
wonderful mercy. It is our pleasure that we are part of this
kingdom; for there are many who are not opportuned to
either come into this kingdom or see God face to face.
A stroke of the cane, it is said, is enough for the wise. May
God Bless His Holy Words. Amen.
THANK YOU HOLY FATHER.
