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).


4/27

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,


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.


6/27

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


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


8/27

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


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.


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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.


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


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


22/27

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: 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,


24/27

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.
