OF THE TRINI TY

F i rs t Bib le Lesson: Matt hew 23:9-10

"And ca l l no man your fa ther upon the ear th : fo r one is your

Father, w hich is in heaven. Nei t her be ye cal led mast ers: for one

is your Maste r, even Chr is t . "

Sec ond Bib le Lesson: 1 Cor inth ians 8:5-6

"For though t here be that are c a l led gods, w hether in heaven or

in eart h, (as th ere be gods m any, and lords,) But t o us the re is

but one God, the Father , o f w hom ar e a l l th ings, and w e in h im;

and one Lord Jesus Chr is t , by w hom are a l l t h ings, and w e by

him."

Golden Tex t : 1 Corint hians 12 :4-6

"Now there are d ivers i t ies o f g i f ts , but t he same Spi r i t .

And there are d i f fe rences o f adm in is t ra t ions, but t he same Lord.

And there are d ivers i t ies o f operat ions, but i t i s the sam e God

w hich wor keth a l l in a ll ."

From th is year on, as the Father w ould l ike i t , He wi l l t each you

var ious th ings w hich he had brought a long in h is parce l . I am

now go ing to s ta r t impar t ing my numerous lessons to the wor ld .

The lessons I sha l l impar t to you have never been impar ted by

any person. I want to emphas ize that He wi l l on ly teach you if He

l ikes , but i f He is not d isposed, He w i l l no t t each you.

I c an reco l lec t that many-a-t im e in t he B ib le Class, the lesson

in tended for the c lass was not im par t ed but qu i te a d i f fe rent

lesson would be del ivered. Today, I w ant t o teach you only one

par t ic u lar lesson. The lesson w i l l no t concer n abst inence f rom

sins or lov ing one another but o ther th ings. I w i l l teach you about

w ater , sand, stones, t ree s, f i re, bush, w ind and al l the e lem ent s.

Th is conf i rm s the s ta tem ent o f Our Lord Jesus Chr is t that "T he

Comfor t er w ho is the Holy Ghost , w hom t he Father w i l l send in

My Name, He sha l l teach you a l l t h ings and br ing a l l th ings to

your rem em branc e."(John 14:26).

Who kn ow s t he m eaning of the conc ept "OMNI-PRESENT GOD?"

In the same token, no person knows t he meaning o f the conc ept

"OMNISCIENT GOD." But I shal l t each, and expla in and expat iat e

these conc epts one by one to you and a lso to t he inhab i tants o f

the wor ld .

I t w as Prophet Isa iah w ho saw t he v is ion as nominated in

Isa iah 2 : 2-4 t hat , " in t he las t days, the m ounta in o f Jehovah 's

house shal l be es tab l ished on the top o f the m ounta in and sha l l

be exa l ted above the h i l l s and a l l na t ions w i l l converge at i t .

People w i l l ga ther a t the house o f t he God o f J acob, and God w i l l

teach t hem His w ays and His l i fe s ty le . "

What I w an t to teach you today is ex t rac t ed f rom a passage

you have been read ing w hich you do not unders tand. I know the

lesson is qui te beyond your c ompr ehension; and even i f you read

i t a hundred t im es, you w i l l s t i l l no t unders tand i t . But l i s ten to

w hat I w an t to teach you .

Though you do not deser ve that t he lesson be given to you, yet

because o f t he te lev ision the lesson wi l l reach t hose w ho have

been eager ly w ai t ing for the lessons and those w ho have been

search ing for i t sec re t ly , i t w i l l be pro f i tab le and reward ing to

them . Bec ause people have read so man y books, they have

in i t ia ted in to m any cu l ts and soc ie t ies , they have dreamt dream s,

they have pro jec ted in t o many p lanes, and have read the

Scr ip t ures a lso but t hey do not unders tand w hat i t a l l m eans.

Now as you have been hear ing that " on ly the one and

mon othei st ic God" exist s, people const rue that (Deut 5:1-7) i f

ment ion is made o f on ly one God, i t subsumes t hat there are

many "gods." Di f fe rent persons th ink t hat they shou ld have the i r

ind iv idua l gods. They fee l that each person has h is ow n persona l


6/60

6

god. Th is is er roneous. I want t o revea l th is par t ic u lar lesson

unto you now.

I t is sa id : "c a l l no person fa ther upon ear th for one is your

Father w ho is in heaven. Cal l no person lord or ma ste r because

One is your Master , even the Lord Je sus Chr is t . " The eight h

verse of t he 23rd chapter o f St . Mat thew 's gospe l en jo ins that

you should not cal l any person a t eacher for ther e is Only One

Teacher w ho is the Lord Jesus Chr is t , but you a l l a re bre thren.

Now that you have been adv ised not t o ca l l anyone a teacher or

Father or Lor d; for there is one t eacher, one Father and one Lord,

I w ant to ask you how m any persona l i t ies are invo lved? Could i t

be const r ued to m ean that t he Father is on one s ide, the Son on

the o t her s ide and the Teacher is somew here e lse?

Many people a lw ays express that t here are three Gods in one

or "Three persons in one God." Does i t mean that t h ree cha i rs

are posi t ioned for the Father, the Son and the Holy Spir i t t o s i t

each on the three cha i rs? In another passage he is re fer red to as

the Son of ma n, the Son of God and God Him sel f . Does that

express ion exp la in that there are t hree persons?

Our go lden tex t has unequivoca l ly revea led that t here is on ly

one be ing w ho answers a l l the names. I t i s sa id there are

d ivers i t ies o f g i f ts but the same sp ir i t a lone. There are

d i f fe rences o f admin is t ra t ion but the same Lord. There are

d ivers i t ies o f operat ions but i t i s t he same God w ho wor ks a l l in

al l .

This supr em e Being is Jehovah. He is a lso the Father. He is the

Lord, and He is the Teacher. He is everyt h ing. Do not bot her

yoursel f k eeping t hree seats eac h for the Father, Son and the

Ho ly Sp i ri t . Your ac t ion w i l l t an tamount t o w as te o f t ime .

I t i s sa id that t he Father has a l ready accom pl ished his

ass ignment . He is the sam e persona l i ty ; that t he Son has

acc ompl ished h is ass ignment , i t i s the sam e Being; and that the

Holy Sp i r i t i s do ing H is wor k , i t i s the sam e Being do ing i t , and

not tw o .

The express ion that our Lord Jesus Chr is t is seen s t and ing on

the r ight hand o f God the Father is er roneous. I t i s that sam e

God that you see. I t is said, He is the Son, He is that sam e God


7/60

7

w ho is invar iably, the Son. There is none ot her. The Son is the

Father and v ice versa. Th is exp la ins w hy i t i s sa id , w hosoever

acc ept s the Son, has the Father, and w hosoever re jec ts t he Son

has no Father.(1 John 2:23). That is w hy w herever there is no

sp i r i t , there is no l i fe because He is t hat Sp i ri t .

That is w hy He says w hosoever rece ives the messenger that

the Father w i l l send in my name rece ives me; and whoever

rece ives me rece ives H im w ho sent me. (John 13:20/Mat t 10:40)

So w e have ne i ther tw o gods nor tw o Lords nor tw o teachers

nor any frac t ion o f H im. But He i t i s w ho is God, the sam e is Lord ,

and He is a lso the t eacher.

The inhab i tants o f the w or ld shou ld be p i t ied for the i r dec is ion

to gaze at t he sky and w ai t unt i l Our Lord Jesus Chr is t com es

again . Now t hat t he Father and the Holy Sp i r i t i s here on ear t h ,

is Our Lord Jesus Chr ist not here on ear th? Is He not one and the

same being? You argue that you are a l l wai t ing for Our Lord

Jesus Chr is t f rom the sk y. But as t he Father, the Son, t he Holy

Spi r i t i s here on ear t h , what are you go ing to do?

Can your observe t hat w hen you are e lec ted here, you are

appoin ted a chor is ter w hen you beg in to s ing. Af ter that you

begin to see v is ions; thus bec om ing a v is ioner. Count up how

many o f you are there- chor is ters and v is ioners? Thereaf ter you

are promoted and consecrated an e lder. How m any o f you are

there? From t he pos i t ion o f an Elder you are orda ined a prophet .

How m any o f you are there? Then, you are promot ed a sen ior

Prophet . How m any o f you are there? Can you now rea l ize w hat

happens?

Somet imes w e argue that t here are many gods; that Our Lord

Jesus stands on the r ight hand of God the Father. This is

er roneous because there is on ly one be ing. He a lso answ ers a l l

the nam es, but He is t he same be ing.

Remem ber w hen Phi l ip to ld the Chr is t say ing "show us t he

Father and that w i l l sat is fy us."(John 14:8) . What d id Our Lord

Jesus Chr is t answ er? Since w e ca l l h im "J esus" s imply, Ph i l ip

w as des i rous to see the Far ther, to w hom He a lw ays re fer red.

Who is th is "J esus"? Is He not the same Father? Who is the

Chr ist? Is He not the same Being? Who is the Son of ma n? Is He


8/60

8

not the same Being? Who is the Son o f God we are ta lk ing

about? Is He not the same Being?

But s ince Our Lord Jesus Chr is t w as mak ing every re ference to

the Father, Phi l ip opt ed t o see Him ; because t hey, as d isc ip les,

w ere also desirous to see the Father. And the Lord Jesus Chr is t

asked him saying, "Have I been w i th you Phi l ip for a l l that long,

yet do you not know me? When you see me, you see the

Father" . (John 14:9). I f you see me, that is t he Father st anding.

Did i t not appear t o Phi l ip as in the dream ? He did not see c lear l y,

because he on ly saw the Lord Jesus. But the Lord emphas ized

that He is in t he Father and t he Father in Him . (John 14:10-11).

The w ords He spoke were not spoken by H is ow n vo li t ion but that

the Father was do ing H is w ork . In w hat ve in do you want t o be

spoken to?

Another ins tance is that w hen Zachar ias was m in is ter ing at

the al t ar, Angel Gabr ie l appeared before h im and announced t o

him saying " Fear not Zac har ias for your prayer is heard and your

w i fe El izabeth sha l l bear you a son and you wi l l ca l l h is nam e

John" . And Zachar ias quer ied, "w hereby sha l l I know th is for I

am an o ld man and my w i fe wel l s t r ick en in years ." And Gabr ie l

answered and sa id unto h im; " I am Gabr ie l w ho s tands in the

presenc e of God and I am sent to speak unto you."(Luke 1:13-19).

Real ize f rom th is t hat ange ls a lso s tand in t he presence o f God,

w hich means He is the same Being. Did Zachar ias see another

god apar t f rom Angel Gabr ie l?

At another t im e the d isc ip les to ld Thomas that t hey had seen

the resur rec t ed Chr is t . He argued that he cou ld not be l ieve unt i l

he sees Him and thr usts h is f inger into His r iven s ide. Eight days

la ter they w ere gathered in the room again and Our Lord Jesus

Chr is t appeared to them and show ed the na i l p r ints t o Thomas.

He to ld Thomas to put h is f ingers into H is s ide. Thomas sa id ,

"My Lord and my God, I bel ieve." Our Lord Jesus Chr is t to ld h im ,

"you bel ieve because you have seen; b lessed is he w ho does not

see and yet he bel ieves." (John 20:29).

At anot her t ime He appeared to h is d isc ip les aga in and they

w ere a f ra id. He to ld them not t o be af ra id because the Sp i r i t has

ne i ther the f lesh nor bones as He now has. The sp i r i t has no


9/60

9

bones but He has bones, a t t he same t im e He has no bones. At

anyt ime and in w hatever form you want to see Him, He w ould

mani fes t to you in that fo rm .

I w ant t o lead you s low ly because o f your l im i t ed

unders tand ing. Everyday I w i l l expound th is myster y to you in

b i ts . Let our fi rs t lesson be read.

First Bib le Lesson: Matt hew 23: 9-10

"And c a l l no m an your father upon t he ear t h : fo r one is your

Father, w hich is in heaven.

Nei ther be ye c al led m aste rs: for one is your m aster , even

Christ."

Th is w i l l ind icate t o you that i t i s t he Father w ho is God. He is

the Teacher. The Father is the Lord. The Fath er is t he Ruler, the

Teacher in heaven and eart h, and for man and c hi ld; and w hy He

is ca l led the Son o f man is that a l l o f you are men. When you s i t ,

i t i s the Father s i t t ing dow n. When you are squat t ing , or ly ing

down or w alk ing, i t i s t he Father w ho is in a l l of you occ upy ing

these postures .

That is w hy He is ca l led the Omnipresent God. In order that

th is p ic t ure may be c learer to you, read Genes is chapter one. I

do not w ant t o p lunge you deep in to t he concept t oday so that

you may not be c onfused.

You w i l l then see w hy a f ter God had creat ed Adam, He to ld h im

to have cont ro l over every creat ion. Where did God Him sel f

remain? What pos i t ion d id He assume af ter g iv ing the ru lersh ip

over every th ing to Adam? Th is is w hat had baf f led the

ph i losophers for qu ite some t ime. Af ter God had created

every t h ing, he gave the author i ty t o Adam to ru le over the f ishes,

the bi rds, the anim als and everyt h ing. (Gen 1:26). Where did God

Himsel f go to? Over w hat d id He ru le?

He fur ther author ized Adam t o g ive names to a l l t he created

thing s. (Gen 2:19-20). I f t h is is the pict ure, w here did He go to

w hi le leav ing the ear t h for Adam? Since the w isdom of God is

g reate r than tha t o f m an , tha t i s w hy the wor ld i s so much

confused.

Learn f rom yourse l f. I t i s another person w ho know s what you

look l ike , but you do not know w hat you look l ike . Wi thout


10/60

10

somebody te l l ing you that you are beaut i fu l o r that you are t a l l o r

shor t or fa i r o r b lack , you cannot tes t i fy about yourse l f.

That is how i t i s w i th God. You do not k now how you eat , you do

not k now how you speak, but o t hers know a l l about you.

What you secre t ly do ins ide the room is proc la imed by

somebody who is in Lagos. Do you not ask yourse l f how th is

person com es about to know you? I t i s sa id that w e are laborers

toget her w i th God, w e are God's husbandry, w e are God's

vineyar d.(1 Cor 3:9).

You can pray for somebody but you w i l l no t know that he has

some s ick ness. When you pray for him, he becom es healed o f h is

s ickness, but i f he does not te l l you that your prayer has hea led

h im, you w i l l no t know that he was s ick . I f he does not te l l you

w hat he saw w hi le you were pray ing for h im, you w i l l no t know.

There are th ings that you do th ink ing that they are not k nown t o

any person. You do not k now that your ac t ions have becom e a

slogan even amo ngst your serva nts, and in the street s. People

are mak ing fun of your ac t ion even though you th ink t hat i t i s t op

secr et . He is the God of hosts. He is everyth ing. He is

everyth in g and is in everyth in g. He is th e one doing everyt h ing.

Right now you are plann ing how you wi l l dec e ive the o t her

person. That person is a lso th ink ing how he w i l l dece ive you.

You are dec eiv ing him, and he is deceiv ing you; and both of you

know that you are dece iv ing each o ther. S ince i t i s one sp i r i t

w ork ing, God w ho is in both o f you, cont inues to p lay the game.

When you get home, you wi l l boast t hat you have dece ived h im.

He wi l l a lso boast a t h is home t hat he had dece ived you. And so

nothi ng is h idden f rom God. God has plant ed us as f low ers. He

can appear to you anywhere.

Remem ber w hen Our Lord Jesus Chris t t o ld H is d isc ip les that

the re a re some s tand ing here w ho w i l l not t as te o f dea th un t i l

they see the g lory o f God? He says th is in Mat t hew c hapter

s ix t een and today people have composed a song wi t h the

stat em ent.(Matt 16:28/ Mark 9:1/

Luke 9:27).

S ix days a f ter , as they w ent t o pray on the mount a in , He was

t ransf igured before them in a bright c loud. And that was the


11/60

11

glory o f God since they wanted to see someth ing. There was

Moses, El i jah and Our Lord Jesus Chr is t appear ing before t hem .

Peter prom pt ly sa id : "Lord i t i s good for us to be here, le t us

mak e thre e taber nacles one for Moses, one for El i jah and one for

you."Matt 17:1-4).

They saw Moses, El i jah and Chr is t w i th t he i r tw o eyes. What

more cou ld they say? That w as the g lory of God. But how m any

people w ere there? I t was one person. I t was He a lone

appear ing before them . He is ca l led the God o f hosts .

He is the on ly one found in a ll the p lanes o f m ani fest . In the

sun, in the moon, in the s tars , in the w aters and everyw here. I f

you go to India

you wi l l f ind a man w ork ing wonders . I f you a lso go to Uni ted

Stat es of

Amer ica you wi l l f ind a man do ing wonder fu l w orks . You go to

Uni ted K ingdom, and a lso f ind a man do ing wonders . But how

many people are they? I t i s He a lone and not t h ree persons.

Let no person dec eive you that India has her own god, Russia

has her ow n god, Un i ted Sta tes o f Am er ica has her own god, and

Niger ia has her own god. God is one. There is one Father, one

Son, one Teacher, one Lord, one Spir i t . This m eans that the re is

one Being.

He has revealed Him sel f t o man as He w ishes. To prove His

Omnipresence, He can go to a p lac e, and tur n in to a h igh

mount a in . People would de i fy i t t o have the i r prob lems t aken

aw ay. The mounta in can speak and people hear. The mounta in

can w alk t o you in the dream, and so the people w i l l regard the

mount a in as the i r god. People w i l l c la im to be worsh ipp ing a

mount a in . I t i s not the mount a in they are w orsh ipp ing. I t i s the

same God.

I f God does not w ish to reveal H imsel f , you cannot k now Him .

I t is a t t h is end o f t ime t hat He promised to revea l h imsel f t o

everyone, that a ne ighbor sha ll not teac h h is ne ighbor and

brother sha l l not teach h is bro ther t o know God, because they

sha l l a l l know Him f rom the least t o the g reates t . (Heb 8 :11).

And so i f th is generat ion know s Him, i t i s because o f H is

promise. Otherw ise He would cont inue to remain here in a


12/60

12

d i f fe ren t fo rm w i thou t ou r know ledge of H im. AND YOU

WILL CONTIN UE TO GIVE HIM VARIOUS NAMES.

YOU CAN CALL H IM J OHN, JEHOVAH, J AH,

MICHAEL, WONDERFUL, MERMAID OR J UJ U.

BUT H E IS THE SAME BEIN G.That is w hy He is ca l led the myster ious God. I w i l l no t revea l

most o f H is myste r ies now. You know t hat the Jew s looked for a

s ign and, the Greeks seek for know ledge. A l l o f you here are

seek ing for signs and knowledge that is w hy you are f requent a t

the B ib le Class. But you do not w ant to prac t ice the main lesson

w hich is love one another.

S ince t h is is the end o f t ime and He has sa id that m an shou ld

eat o f a l l the f ru i t s o f t he t rees in the garden exc ept one, and the

day he eats o f i t , he shal l d ie . But s ince t hey want ed to be as

w ise as God, they w ent and a te o f the f ru i t . That is w hy

everyone is th i rs t y o f k nowledge.

You w ant to know every t h ing. Where does the sky end? Where

does the w ater f low to? God is w iser than man. That is w hy He

drove man out o f the Garden so that He m ay not a lso eat o f t he

tr ee of l i fe , and l ive for ever. Since man ate t he forbidden f ru i t

has he been as w ise as God? Has he l ived forever? Our sec ond

lesson w i l l now be read.

Sec ond Bib le Lesson: 1 Cor inth ians 8: 5-6

"For though there be t hat are c a l led gods, w hether in heaven or

in eart h, (as th ere be gods many, and lords many,) But t o us

there is but one God, the Father, of w hom are al l th ings, and w e

in Him; and one Lord Jesus Chr is t , by w hom are al l th in gs, and

w e by Him."

How do you unders tand that s t a tem ent? We have one Father o f

w hom are a l l th ings; and one Lord by w hom are a l l th ings.

DOES IT M EAN T HAT T HERE ARE TWO GODS

FROM WHOM ALL TH INGS COME? IT IS THE


13/60

13

SAME PERSON, ONE PERSON ALON E. HE DOES

NOT WANT YOU TO K NOW MORE THA N THAT.

TH ERE IS ONE GOD AN D ONE LORD.I w i l l t e l l you w hy among the Jew s wom en and ch ild ren a re no t

count ed dur ing census o f any populat ion. Even in many nat ions

today, ch i ld ren and w omen are not count ed in the popula t ion.

When they le f t Egypt , the adu l t m ale popu lat ion f rom the age o f

tw o to 21 w as 600,000; w omen and ch i ld ren were not inc luded.

Another day I w i l l te l l you w hy ch i ld ren and w omen w ere not

count ed in the popula t ion. I have com e to t each you every t h ing,

and I w i l l g radual l y lead you to the w isdom o f the t ru t h . I w i l l

a lso te l l you why i t i s sa id that a w oman has no sou l . I t i s t rue

that a w oman has no sou l . I w i l l te l l you w hy, and a lso why t he

Moslems do not a l low the i r w omen t o enter in to the m osque. I

w i l l revea l a l l these th ings t o you.

I WI LL ALSO SHOW YOU WHY TODAY, WOMEN A ND CHIL DREN

HAVE BEEN B ROUGHT I N TO HAVE EQUAL RIGHTS WITH T HE

MEN. THI S IS TO PROVE THE STATEMENT TH AT WHATEVER I

SHUT N O MAN CA N OPEN, AND WHAT I OPEN, NO ONE CAN

SHUT. THI S IS TO REVEAL HIS OMNIPOTENCE AND HIS

OMNISCIENCE TO MANK IND. IT IS THE WISDOM NOT

POSSESSED BY A NY PERSON IN TH IS WORLD.

I t is the pow er w hich no one in the wor ld possesses. That is

the sur face o f the myst ery. THERE ARE MAN Y T HINGS TO

BE TAUGHT YOU, AND I WILL M AK E YOUR EYES TO BE

CLEAR WITH UN DERSTANDING.

There is noth ing in th is wor ld apar t f rom Him a lone. You say

you see a ghost , o r merm aid , or t ree, or concoc t ion. He is the onethat you see.

He has sa id that w hen the Comfor t er w i l l c ome, He w i l l dec lare

unto you a ll tha t He hears . He sha l l g lor i fy me bec ause al l tha t

us to c ompla in that Satan has come, prophet or apost le has

com e .

Right now, I hear peop le say ing that s ince t he Lord Jesus w as

k i l led th is pow er is not f rom God because i t i s too vu lnerab le .

Th is goes to c onf i rm w hat He sa id : "ver i ly, I say unto you, he w ho

bel ieves in me w i l l do the work s that I do and greater work s than

this sha l l he do bec ause I go unt o the Father." (John 14:12).

When you hear th is , you boast that there is someone w ho does

might ier w orks than the Chr is t . I t i s not so. I w i l l exp la in the

meaning o f these tex ts to you f rom t he Bib le . I t i s not a th ing o f

one day or tw o or a th ing to be done in tw enty years .

FROM TH E BEGINNI NG THERE HAS BEEN ONE ENTI TY, ONE

SPIRIT, ONE LORD AND ONE MAN, N OT TWO. Many s ta tem ents

made by the Chr is t are l ike menta l ar i thm et ic s . He says, as you

have done th is to one o f t hese l i t t le ch i ld ren for my name's sake,

you have done i t t o me. (Mat t 25:40). How is i t t ha t w hen you do

some thing for a chi ld, you are doing i t t o Him? Do you not

unders tand that He is that ch i ld? He is everyone that you see.

He sa id , "w hen the Son o f m an sha l l come in H is g lor y, and a l l

the ho ly ange ls w i t h h im, then sha l l he s i t upon the t hrone o f h is

glor y: And before h im sha l l be gathered al l nat ions: And he shal l

separate them one f rom anot her, as a shepherd d iv ideth h is

sheep f rom t he goats : And he sha l l se t t he sheep on h is r igh t but

the goats on h is le f t . Then sha l l the K ing say unto t hem on h is

r ight had, com e, ye blessed of m y Father, inher i t t he k ing dom

prepared for you r ight f r om t he foundat ion o f t he w or ld : For I w as

an hungred, and ye gave me m eat: I w as th i rs t y, and ye gave m e

dr ink . .. .. .. , I w as in pr ison, and ye cam e unto m e. Then shal l the

r ighteous answ er h im say ing, Lord , w hen saw w e thee an

hungred, and fed thee. . .. .And t he Kin g shal l answ er and say unt o

them ....Inasmuch as ye have done i t unt o one o f the least o f

these m y bret hren, ye have done i t unt o me.(Matt 25:31-40).

And so you w i l l see that He is the s ick pat ient you see in the

hospi t a l . He is th e person you f ind in th e pr ison. Do Moslem s,

w ho dest roy church bu i ld ings and k i l l peop le in N iger ia , know

God? Do you know t hat t he person you are beat ing is God?

Whatever you do to any man, you are doing i t to God. He is th e


15/60

15

leper you meet on the road. He is the beggar on the w ays ide.

But you beat t hem and throw them in to ja i l , and boast t hat you

know God. You do not know God. No person know s anyth ing

about God. No Chr is t ian , Buddhis t , H indu or Jew know s anyth ing

about God. No s ingle soul know s anyth ing about God. I t is now

that I am go ing to revea l H im t hat you are go ing to know Him.

I w ant t o use an ear th ly s i tuat ion to i l lus t ra te a heavenly

s i tuat ion. There was a c ert a in Queen w ho so loved God. She

w ent t o the House of God every day. One day she deci ded she

w as not go ing to God 's house aga in; wonder ing w hy i t i s that she

a lone has to v is i t God; and God does not rec iprocate her gesture .

I f God does not com e to her house, she would not go to God 's

house again.

The Father to ld her t hat she shou ld prepare for H im t he next

Sunday. She w as very happy and asked her ru ler s to pr epare

everyth in g. Plays, dec orat i ons, songs and dances - w ere al l in t he

read iness for the rec ept ion o f God. On the m orn ing they w ere

expect ing God, w hat they saw w as a leper. The leper was

coming on the road w h ich was la id w i th ca rpe t and beau t i ful

decorat ions. The w hole crow d went upon the man and beat h im

up. They d id not know t hat he w as God.

Brethren, t i l l n ight fa l l they d id not see any o ther person. The

Queen w as angry. She argued that is i t said that God does not

dece ive. How is i t tha t God has dece ived her?

God to ld her not t o be angry ; that He w as v is i t ing her the next

Sunday. The wom an was pleased, and star te d prepar ing again

for God. What happened on that Sunday? They saw a man w i th

nose cancer , w hose u lcer fumed w i th obnox ious smel l . When he

w alked up to the go ld pavement , they bundled h im in to the

gut t er. Throughout t hat day no o ther t h ing passed through t hat

way.

The Queen w as angry aga in and she com pla ined that God had

disappoin ted her tw ice. God to ld her that He c ame on the f i rs t

Sunday. He asked her w hether she does not rem ember t he leper

they beat up and threw aw ay? God went on to descr ibe the

c lo thes o f t he people w ho beat H im up, and that He was t he one.

The wom an wep t b i t te r l y tha t the w ay o f God i s ve ry de lusive


16/60

and d i f f icu l t to k now. God aga in reminded her o f the man w i th

the nose cancer w hom they cas t in to the gu t te r t he fol l ow ing

Sunday and to ld her that he w as the one, and that he w i l l never

v is i t her aga in . The w oman w as f rus t ra ted. And so bre thren, you

can see how God is . Do you know Him? Do you w ant t o know

Him? When w i l l you know Him ? Let our go lden tex t be read.

Golden Tex t : 1 Corint hians 12:4-6

"Now there are d ivers i t ies o f g i f t s , but t he same sp i r i t .

And there are d i f ferences o f adm in is t ra t ions, but t he same

Lord.

And there are d ivers i t ies o f operat ions, but i t i s the sam e God

w hich wor keth a l l in a ll ."

Right now a l l the inhab i tants o f t he wor ld main t a in that

Brot herhood is ghost , and ju ju, and Beelzebub, Dracula, mer ma id.

The reason be ing the might y work s w hich they see in

Brotherhood. They dec lare that the m an has power , but no one

know s the source o f H is power . I thank God for th is tes t imony.

They cont inue to ask i f you have ever seen a man w ho can be

seen in Lagos, in New York , ins ide w ater ; and so they c onc lude

that he is a w izard . Espec ia l ly w hen they hear the Father mak ing

reference to tw enty years t ime, they ask, w i l l he s t i l l l i ve for

tw enty years? You have heard that there are d ivers i t ies o f g i f ts ,

but t he same sp i r i t , and there are d i f fe rences o f adm in is t ra t ions,

but t he same Lord, and there are d ivers i t ies o f operat ions, but i t

i s the same God w hich wor keth a l l in a l l .

John the Bapt is t c ame and a te noth ing, drank noth ing. H is food

w as locust beans and honey. They sa id that he had a demon, and

w as not God. Jesus the Chr is t c ame eat ing and dr ink ing, and

they sa id He w as the pr inc e o f Bee lzebub, a g lu t t onous man, a

w ine b ibber because He hea led the s ick , the b l ind and the dum b.

They dec lared that He was us ing no o ther power but t he power o f

dem on the pr inc e of Beelzebub.(Matt 11:18).

The d isc ip les asked Our Lord Jesus Chr is t t o increase t he i r

fa i th . Th is w as so because He d id not bestow upon them t he Holy

Sp i r it . That w as w hy they had no fa ith . I t w as no t H is work to


17/60

17

bestow the Holy Sp i r i t . H is work w as to hang on the t ree.

I t w as sa id El i jah shal l com e before the Messiah to s t ra ighten

the path o f God. I t i s the same God who w as in John to precede

the Mess iah and s t ra ighten H is paths . He was both the Lord and

the forerunner. He was John and He was Jesus. He a lso w as

Peter . But you d id not know t h is .

He spoke in parab les because i t w as w r i t t en in the prophets

that He w i l l speak in parab les (Mat t 13:34-35), that w hen the

Comfor te r w i l l come, He w i l l l ead you to the acc ura te w isdom o f

t ru t h . He is the Comfor ter. He w as the one w ho made the

promise about the c oming Comfor ter , and He is the One in our

m ids t . How m any o f them are the re? IT IS ONLY ONE PERSON.

Moses w as in Egypt under bondage for about fo r t y years . But

he f led the c i ty a f t er he had k i l led a man. Why did he k i l l a m an?

Did he use a gun or a mat chet? Was i t h is in tent ion to k i l l? By

k i l l ing the Egypt ian he ran to anot her count r y, and l ived t here for

for ty years . What m ade him re tur n to Egypt? I t w as God w ho

appeared to h im and asked h im to go and lead the c h i ld ren o f

Is rae l out o f the bondage o f Pharaoh.

When Moses asked God w ho He (God) was, God said " I AM

THAT I AM."(Exodus 3:14). Who was Moses t o have stoo d before

king Pharaoh and his arm y. What w eapons would he have used

to de l iver the Is rae l i tes f rom the hands o f Pharaoh? Who was

respons ib le for that ac t ion? Was i t not the same God?

He d id th is in order to mani fes t h is Omnipotenc e,

Omnipresence and Omnisc ience. You can rem ember t hat w hen

Moses d ied, the Is rae l i tes mourned h im for th i r t y days because

their god w as dead (Deut 34:8) . And t i l l t oday no one know s his

grave. The Is rael i tes t hought that they w ould per ish because

the i r god w as dead. And God w as look ing a t t hem. Remem ber the

sta tem ent t hat w hen a l l hopes are los t , the Sav ior appears . At

that sam e t im e, the sp i r i t descended upon Joshua. He d id the

same m iracle on t he JORDAN as Moses did on the Red Sea . He

st ruc k the sea and i t w as div ided in to tw o. And the Is rae l i tes

w ere st reng thened w hen they saw t he same s igns . I t w as

Joshua w ho led them to the promised land. And He was God.

That is w hy i t i s sa id that there are d ivers i t ies o f g i f t s but i t i s


18/60

18

the same sp ir i t . I t w as the same sp i ri t tha t w as in Moses that

a lso led Joshua. You have a lso heard that a t a cer ta in t im e the

Israe l i tes asked God to g ive them a k ing.

E li , the H igh Pr ies t , had tw o sons; and he w as the on ly prophet

in Is rae l . But w hen i t w as God 's ow n t ime, Hannah w ho was

barren, was g iven a son named Samuel and she used the boy to

pay t i t he to El i . El i behaved l ike an over-fed man. What am I

go ing to do w i th t h is? Here are my sons and I am s t i l l a l ive .

What do I do w i t h th is l i t t le ch i ld? He d id not know t he mind of

God.

There are d ivers i t ies of operat ions but i t i s the same Lord. Do

not a t t r ibu te the d i f fe rent operat ions you w i tness to mer maid , or

ghost or ju ju . I t i s t he same Lord. Right f rom the beg inn ing, He is

the one w ho does every th ing.

I w i l l revea l to you the meaning o f that s t a tement w hich says:

any c i t y w i t hout a prophet per ishes. How can there be a c i ty

w i thout a prophet and i t per ishes? Wherever there is no Sp i r i t ,

there is no l i fe because He is that Sp i ri t . He is the prophet and

He does everyt h ing.

One day God ca l led Samuel bec ause he l ived his l i fe wel l -

p leasing to God. God revealed Him sel f t o Sam uel and al l that

w as go ing to happen to Is rae l , about t he Ark o f t he covenant , El i

and h is tw o sons. God revea led to h im, the outc ome of t he war .

That is w hy a sp i r i tua l song says Jehovah says that He w i l l no t

forsake the house o f El i . For you to m ake p lans that you w ish to

have a ch i ld to s t ep in to your shoes is not su f f ic ient .

I t i s too la te for you to c ompla in that you have no bro ther or

re la t ions and star t p lann ing for yourse l f. El i had tw o sons but h is

tw o sons d ied on the same day in bat t le . When El i heard about

the outc ome of t he war , he fe l l and d ied. The three o f them d ied

and the Ark w as captured. Samuel took up the pos i t ion .

Can you see th e Om nisci ence of God. Caiaphas the high pr iest

sa id that i f t hey a l low ed Jesus to l i ve , He would cont inue to

gather the people unto H imsel f . That i t w as good for one person

to d ie than for the w hole nat ion to per ish. (John 11:49-52). Was

there any unders tand ing in h im?

People are so foo l ish to argue today t hat t hey are w ai t ing for


19/60

19

the day that " Obu w i l l d ie" . When Chr ist d ied, d id He not r ise

again? When He rose aga in , d id H is w ork not cont inue unt i l t h is

day? Right f rom Moses to El i jah, w hen did God not exist ? He is

Omnipotent , Omnipresent and Omnisc ient . He is everyw here.

When you read Genesis chapt er one, you w i l l see that t he Spir i t

o f God was upon the sur face o f t he waters . When He created

Adam, He breathed in to h is nost r i l s the breath o f l i fe. That w as

the same Spi r i t w h ich he breathed in to Adam. But the g i f ts are

d i f fe rent . When I say that i t i s the Holy Sp i r i t w ho is do ing the

w ork , you say that i t is Jehovah. Who is Jehovah? Who is

Chr ist? Who is the Lord? Who is th e Holy Spir i t ? Who is the

Father? Who is the Teacher? The fac t is that the Holy Sp i r i t was

in the beginning before anything w as creat ed. He is God, He is

the Fath er, and He is everyt h ing. Now He has com e, and He is in

everyth in g, doing everyt h ing. He is everyw here and His ru ler ship

has ne ither beg inn ing nor end. I f you l ike to w eep or laugh or

escape, the cho ice is yours .

Brethren, one st rok e o f the cane is suf f ic ient unt o the w ise. He

w ho has ears to hear, le t h im hear. May God bless His wo rds.

Amen!

Golden Text : John 19:34

"But one o f t he so ld iers w i th a spear p ierced h is s ide, and for t hw i th

Every person shou ld si t dow n qu ie t ly and rec e ive the rec ondi te

today, but i t i s t o make k nown t o you that He is the one. Many people

Father, Word and Holy Spir i t Bear Reco rd In Heaven

There ar e thr ee that bear rec ord in heaven, the Father, the Word,

and the Holy Sp i r i t . And these three are one. There are a lso three

that bear w i tness on ear t h , Water, Blood and the Sp i r i t . And these

thr ee agree in one.(1 John 5:7-8) . That is w hy He said t hat t he one

sent out by the Father speak s the Word of God, and God does not g ive

Him t he Spi r i t by measure. (John 3 :34). I t i s sa id t hat ear th ly s i tuat ions

are used in i l lust rat ing heavenly s i tuat ions.(1 Cor 15:48). Why w as

John en jo ined to bapt ize people w i th w ater? Why are you not jus t put

ins ide the w ater o f bapt ism , but you must f i rs t c onfess your s ins? The

confess ion and the im mers ion in w ater are one th ing!

Ins t i tu t ion o f Bap t i sm

Why d id the Lord Jesus Chr is t go to John t he Bapt is t t o be

bapt ized? That w as to conf i rm t hat there are three in heaven: the

Father, the Word and t he Sp i r i t , and there are t hree on ear t h the w ater,

the b lood and the Sp i r i t . And these three are one. Th is exp la ins w hy

he says that w hoever is not born o f the w ater and o f the sp i r i t , cannot

enter in to t he K ingdom of God.(John 3 :5). That is w hy i f you do not

co nfess al l your s ins, you cannot be bapt ized. Confession of s in is one

th ing and the immers ion in wate r is second. When you are bapt ized,

the Sp i r i t i s bestow ed unto you. And so the s ta t ement is fu l f i l led that

there are t hree that bear w i tness on ear th ; the w ater, the b lood and

the Sp i r i t . And these three are one.

Man, God, Spir i t

You do not k now t he myster y in Bro therhood. Fi rs t , He is the Son o f

man, w ho symbol izes the b lood. He is a lso the Son o f God, w hich is

w ater. The Spi r i t w h ich is given to you is the Father. The three are

com ple te ly one. The rece iv ing o f bapt ism is the shedding o f B lood.

The day you are bapt ized is the day you die w i th Chr is t . The w ater is

the b lood o f Chr is t . And when you com e out o f the wat er you rece ive

the Sp i r i t . And these three are One. That is why S imeon sa id that a

sword sha l l p ierce through h is s ide and the t houghts o f m any sha ll be


22/60


22

revea led. Th is was w hen he w as taken for b less ing as a ch i ld . On h is

c ruc i f i x ion w hen he was p ierced a t t he s ide , the re came ou t w a te r and

b lood. Th is was to indicate that He was the One. The water , b lood

and the Sp i ri t in h im conf i rm ed that he w as the Son o f God, the Chr is t

of God.

First Bib le Lesson: Luk e 2:34-35

"And S imeon b lessed t hem, and sa id unto Mary H is mot her,

Behold , th is c h i ld is se t fo r the fa l l and ra is ing aga in o f many in Is rae l ;

and for a s ign w hich sha l l be spoken aga inst .

Yea, a sword sha l l p ierce t hrough thy ow n sou l a lso , that t he

thoughts o f many hear t s may be revea led."

Brethren, have you heard that? No mat t er w hat you do, i f you do

not c onfess your s ins and then rece ive the Holy Sp i r i t , i t p ro f i ts you

noth ing. Many people argue that they cannot com e to Brotherhood

bec ause they have al ready been bapt ized, bec ause they are b ishops,

and they have the i r own churc h denominat ions. They w i l l perish ,

bec ause our Lord J esus Chr is t says: " Whoever bel ieves and is

bapt ized shal l be saved; but he w ho does not bel ieve shal l be damned.

"And these s igns sha l l fo l low t hem t hat be l ieve; In my name sha l l they

cast out dev i ls; they sha l l speak w i th new tongues; they sha l l take up

serpents ; and i f t hey dr ink any deadly th ing i t sha l l not hur t t hem; they

shal l lay their hands on the s ic k, and they shal l rec over." (Mark 16:16-

18). Have you not not ic ed that He is here on ear t h? Right f rom the

day that you re jec t a l l the th ings o f t h is wor ld and re f ra in f rom s ins ,

and rece ive bapt ism, i t m eans that you have died w i t h Chr is t . Right

f rom that day you have the Holy Sp i r i t , and you are no more in t he

w or ld. You are in heaven and these s igns mu st a l l be fu l f i l led in you.

I f You Die With Him , You Wi l l Be Glor i f ied Wit h Him

I f you do not d ie w i th our Lord Jesus Chr is t , how w i l l you rise

w i th H im, and how w i l l you rece ive the Holy Sp i r i t? I t i s the Sp i r i t tha t

does al l the work here. We cannot do anyth ing on our own because w e

are noth ing. I t i s the Sp i r i t tha t does every t h ing. What w e have to do

is to remem ber Him. We have forsaken the th ings o f the w or ld and so


23/60


23

w e should not go back t o them. Let our second Lesson be read so that

i t m ay be revea led to you that He is t he One.

Second Bib le Lesson: Luke 23:46

"And w hen Jesus had cr ied w i th a loud vo ice, He sa id , Father,

in to t hy hands I com mend My Spi r i t ; and hav ing sa id thus, He gave up

the Ghost."

Have you heard that? I t w as prophes ied through Dav id that h is

bones would not be broken. (Ps.34:20) That is w hy he com mended h is

Spir i t in to t he Father 's hands. I f he d id not d ie, the sold ier w ould have

broken his legs. (John 19:36). And our Lord Jesus Chr is t w ould have

been l imping a f ter H is resur rec t ion.

The Tr in i ty of God

Brethren, that is the Triune God. I t i s sa id that t here are three

that bear rec ord in heaven, the Father, the Word and th e Spir i t , th ese

three are One! On ear th t here are three that a lso bear the rec ord, the

w ater , the b lood and the Spir i t , and these thr ee are One. These thr ee

are the Father, Him sel f . Are they not the same Father? That is the

tr in i ty of God. I f you are drained of w ater in your body, you are dead.

I f t here is water in you but no b lood, you are equal ly dead. I f t here is

w ater and b lood in you but no Sp ir i t you are equal ly dead. These three

are One. But you argue that the Father is not on ear th . Who are these

three? I f you say that God is not on ear th , who are a l l the people you

f ind around you? Before w e read our golden tex t read l John 5:7-8;

"For there are t hree t hat bear rec ord in heaven, the Father, the Word,

and the Holy Ghost : and these three are One. And there are three

that bear w i tness in ear th , the Sp i r i t and t he Water, and the B lood: and

these t hree agr ee in One."

These three re fer to the same person when He is on ear th . That

is w hy Simeon sa id that a sw ord sha l l p ierce t hrough His s ide that t he

thoughts o f many may be revealed.

"But one o f the so ld iers w i th a spear p ierced His s ide, and

fo r thw i th c ame t he re ou t b lood and w a te r."

Even i f w e spend hours and days i t does not mat t er, because we

have no business w i th hours or days or t im e. Our business is to reveal

the g lory o f t he Father. Compare w hat w e read in l John 5 :7 that the

Father, the Word and the Spir i t bear re cor d in heaven and these thr ee

are One, w i th t he go lden tex t , that h is s ide w as p ierced and there

cam e for t h water and b lood. And i t i s said that there are three that

bear w i t ness on ear t h , the w ater, the b lood and the Sp i r i t . And these

thr ee are One. Are these three s igns not fu l f i l led in Him ? Have you

I f t hat so ld ier did not p ierce H is s ide, how w ould people know

that He w as the One? I f He d id not shout out say ing, Father in to thy

hands I com mend m y Spi r i t , (Luke 23:46) how w ould peop le know that

there is such a t h ing as the Sp ir i t? Have you not observed that a l l t he

w r i t ings in the Bib le re fer to H im? S imeon spoke about H im. John

spoke about H im. The so ld iers w ere ful f i l l ing w hat was w r i t t en about

Him. Every th ing in the Scr ip tures re fers to H im.

That is w hy here in Brotherhood we operate w i th B lood and the

Word. Wherever you go to and you do not f ind w ater , Holy o i l and the

Word o f God, depar t f rom there . The Holy Oi l represents the b lood.

The Word o f God is the Sp i r i t and the w ater represents the Chr is t . I f

somebody te l ls you that He does not w ant t he ho ly wat er, i t m eans

that he does not w ant t he ho ly oi l , i t m eans that he does not w ant t he

Blood of Chr is t . I f He te l ls you that He does not w ant the Sp i ri t , leave

such a person a lone because He is a ch i ld o f perd i t ion .

These three e lement s , the w ater, the b lood and the Sp i r i t a re

used in Brotherhood. And the th ree are One.

You take in jec t ions and o ther forms o f medic at ions, but t here is no

When you take m edicat ions and app ly concoc t ions on your body and

suffer and die, you com plain you have com e to d ie in Brot herhood. Your

death is caused by the fore ign mater ia ls w hich you have in t roduced

into your body, and yet your body is t he tem ple of t he Holy Spir i t . (1 Cor

3:16/6 :19). Ref ra in f rom a l l fo rms o f medic at ions and concoc t ions and

Right f rom th is day, do not re gard the w ater and the ho ly o i l as

REINCARNATION: THE REAL IDENTI TY OF THE TRINITY

First Bib le Lesson: John 12:24

"Ver ily, ver i ly, I say unto you, Except a c orn o f w heat fa l l in to the

ground and d ie , i t ab ideth a lone: but i f i t d ie , i t b r ingeth for th m uch

f ru i t . "

Second Bib le Lesson: John 16:7

"Never t he less I te l l you the t ru th ; I t i s expedient fo r you that I goaw ay: fo r if I go not aw ay, the Comfor ter w i l l no t com e unto you; but i f

I depar t , I w i l l send h im unto you."


"Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go aw ay, and com e again unt o

you. I f ye loved me, ye would re jo ic e, bec ause I said, I go unto t he

Father : for my Father is greater than I . "

Bre thren, the above tex t s are revea l ing the w isdom of God: the

acc urate know ledge o f t r u th . Through th is gospe l , the heavenly

w isdom is revea led us ing the ear t h ly i l lus t ra t ions.

The death o f our Lord Jesus Chr is t ne i ther brought sor row nor joy.

But i t b rought salvat ion to the ent i re wor ld as is wr i t ten. Going

through the book o f Ecc les iastes , you w i l l d iscover that there is no

new th ing in th is w or ld . (Ecc les 1 :9) . What ac tua l ly happens is that l i fe

is a revo lving w heel and w hat you may term new is on ly a repet i t ion o fw hat had ex is ted. I t cou ld be new to you s ince you were not present

a t the t im e i t re igned. The ex is t ence and re jec t ion of t he Holy Sp i r i t

i s , obv ious ly, not a new th ing. Cast ing your mind back t o the days o f

o ld , you w i l l reca l l t ha t a l l t he prophets , and even Our Lord Jesus

Chr is t , were rebe l led aga inst . You have a lso read that each t ime t hese

representa t ives (o f God) depar ted t he w or ld , they w ere be ing sought

for, by the same people that re jec t ed them. They re jec t God because

they lack the w isdom of God. God does not revea l Himsel f t o the

"w ise" peop le o f th i s w or ld bu t to babes and those w ho a re ignoran t o f

H is be ing; as w r i t t en in 1 Cor in th ians 1 :19-21, " I w i l l dest roy t he

w isdom of t he w ise, and w i l l b r ing to noth ing the unders tand ing o f t he

prudent . Where is the w ise? Where is the Scr ibe? Where is the

d isputer o f th is w or ld? Hath not God made foo l ish the w isdom of th is

w or ld? For af ter that in the w isdom of God the w or ld by w isdom knew

not God.."

Since t he w or ld does not know God, they c ou ld not unders tand the

teach ings and/or the in junct ions f rom God.

In the f i rs t lesson, w hat the scr ip t ures re fers to as the gra in o f seed

connotes human be ing. Our Lord Jesus Chr is t w as t ry ing to exp la in to

His d isc ip les the im por t ance o f H is death - i f He d id not `d ie ' (go

aw ay), the promised Comfor t er cou ld not be sent ; as s ta ted in the

second lesson. H is death , there fore , gave r ise to the em ergence o f

the Father w ho is greater t han Him (Jesus Chr is t ) as recorded in the

go lden tex t . Th is was the on ly source o f our sa lvat ion.

A gra in o f seed must d ie before i t i s mul t ip l ied . When Adam fe l t

lone ly and demanded for a par tner f rom God, he (Adam) w as made t o

`d ie ' fo r th ree days and n ights before a par t ner cou ld be g iven to h im .

I f he d id not `d ie ' the "sp i r i tua l germ inat ion" br ing ing for th Eve cou ld

not have occur red. In o ther words, th rough the s leep ing death o f

Adam, h is sp i r it w as mul t ip l ied to bec ome a qu icken ing sp ir i t t ha t

g ives l i fe . In fac t , th rough t h is method o f dy ing, human be ings, p lants

and o ther c reatures have mul t ip l ied in the w or ld . Consequent ly , the

great popu la t ion o f hum an be ings today, is due to t he mul t ip l ied sp i ri t

o f t he dead.

There are severa l sp i r i ts ex is t ing in th is w or ld ; that o f hum an be ing,

p lants , f ishes e tc . Apar t f rom death , w hen one s leeps, the sp i r i t goes

to p laces; fa r and near, com munic at ing w i t h o ther ex is t ing sp i r i ts . I t

shou ld be know n that you are a she l ter to t housands o f sp i r i ts , and

these sp i r i ts are w i t h in the house, w h ich is in you. They cannot leave


28/60


28

the house un less you w ho harbor them d ie , ind icat ing that t he house

had fa l len and a l l the inhab i tant s , there fore , w i l l have to sc at ter

abroad.

A human be ing cou ld be r ight ly l i kened to a gra in o f seed. In as

muc h as there is no cr ime in p lant ing a yam seedl ing for i t t o be

mul t ip l ied , there is no c r ime a lso, in a human be ing dy ing for the

mul t ip l ica t ion o f h is sp i r it , g iv ing r ise to another human be ing. The

sp i r i ts o f those o ld prophets l i ke John, James, Peter , e tc . are here

car r ied about by o ther re incarnated people . I t i s er roneous to assume

that w hen an ev i l man d ies, the c omm uni ty or fami ly is f ree because

his sp i r it w i l l be re leased in to that same fami ly .

I t i s the Holy Sp i r i t t ha t has love, merc y, t ru t h fu lness, meekness and

al l r igh teousness. A l l o ther sp i r i ts are d i rec t ly under H is cont ro l .

I f Jesus Chr is t had not d ied, He w ould not have resur rec ted; and

w i thout H is resur rec t ion the Holy Sp i r i t cou ld not have mani fes ted. I t

i s th rough the mani fes ta t ion o f t he Holy Sp i r i t tha t the g lory o f God is

revea led to mank ind. I t w as through the Holy Sp i r i t tha t t he Apost les

of Our Lord Jesus Chr is t per formed a l l t ha t t hey d id .

First Bib le Lesson: John 12:24

"Ver ily, ver i ly, I say unto you, Except a c orn o f w heat fa l l in to the

ground and d ie , i t ab ideth a lone: but i f i t d ie , it b r ingeth , fo r t h much

f ru i t . "

The above lesson exp la ins w hy r ighteousness ex is t s amongst the

ch i ld ren o f God. When a ch i ld o f God d ies , that sp i r i t o f r igh teousness

tha t ex is ted in h im w i l l ce r ta in l y re incarnate in to t he wor ld , and

cont inues in the same w ork i t had been do ing. The tex t has a lso

revea led that i t i s th rough the death o f Jesus Chr is t that the sp i r i ts

w ere re leased in a great number in to t he wor ld . I t i s t h is Sp i r i t

(Chr is t 's ) that is consum ing o ther ev i l sp i r i ts , pav ing w ay for the

ch i ld ren o f God. I f the Sp i ri t o f Chr is t , the Holy Spi r i t o f God, is not in

you, you cannot have pat ienc e, fa i th, peace, love, or abhor s infu lness.

However, once the Holy Sp i r i t dw el ls in you, there is that tendency for

you to do good.

God knew that Abe l w as very c har i tab le , and devoted to t he serv ices

of God. When God k new th is, He inst i gated his brot her, Cain, to k i l l

h im; so that h is (Abe l ) sp i r i t m ay be mul t ip l ied and estab l ished in the

ch i ld ren o f God. Hence, peop le are serv ing God now w i th zea l and

sinc er i ty . Do not be doubtfu l over t he death of younger persons now

on ear t h . Th is is because God wants t o mul t ip ly the i r sp i r i ts and

estab l ish the K ingdom of God. By th is more r ighteous people w ould be

produc ed by God t o out-num ber the evi l ones. Our Lord Jesus Chr is t ,

for instanc e, exist ed for only 33 years. He could have wel l l ived for

more years , be ing the Son o f God, but God needed to m ul t ip ly t he

Chr is t 's Sp i r i t in H im so t hat t he wor ld may be in peace. Today, that

Chr is t 's Sp i r i t i s w i tnessed throughout the w or ld .

Through the k i l l ing o f Peter and o t her ch i ld ren o f God, the i r sp i r i ts

got m ul t ip l ied and f i l led the w or ld ; and as such, the i r w orks are

mul t ip l ied by the Sp i r i t . Wi th the mul t ip l ic a t ion o f Chr is t 's Sp i r i t ,

w h ich, in t im e, gave r ise to the Holy Sp ir i t , the w hole wor ld has been

uni ted in love. The b lacks and the w hi tes have learn t t o l i ve together

in peace. Equal i ty has now spread throughout the ent i re w or ld .

Second Bib le Lesson: John 16:7:

"Never t he less I te l l you the t ru t h ; I t i s expedient fo r you that I go

aw ay: fo r i f I go t not aw ay, the com for ter w i l l not c ome unto you; but

i f I depar t , I w i l l send h im unt o you."

And unders tand th is. I t i s on ly the K ing w ho knows the sec re t o f H is

K ingdom. I f Our Lord Jesus Chr is t d id not depar t unto t he Father, the

Comfor t er cou ld not have been sent . Now the quest ions are : Who is

the Chr is t? Who is t he Comfor t er? And w ho is the Holy Spi r i t? They are

the sam e! They, th rough re incarnat ion, ex is t as the same be ing,

though w i t h d i f feren t names. CHRIST IS THE COMFORTER, AND HE

ALSO IS THE HOLY SPIRIT WH O IS TH E FATHER.

In the er a of Our Lord Jesus Chr is t i t w as nei th er Pet er , Paul nor

John that pr eached t he gospel but Chr is t . Today, He is the one doing


30/60

al l the work s in th is advent o f t he Holy Sp i r i t . He never ascended to

the sky as pro fessed. He informed the Apost les that He was go ing to

the Father. Where is the Father. He dwel l 's alw ays w i t h mank ind.

In t ime past , the name of God had not been ment ioned at w i l l . Th is

w as because the Ho ly Sp i r it tha t w as sa id to lead man to t he accura te

kn ow ledge of t ru th (John 16:12-15), d id not mani fest . Today, w i th t he

mani fes ta t ion o f the Holy Sp i r i t ( the Father ) , every t h ing is d i rec t ly

cont ro l led by H im. A l though most churc hes and ind iv idua ls do not

be l ieve in the ex is t ence o f the Tr in ity , the t ru th rem ains that t he

Father, Son and Hol y Ghost are one indiv is ib le ent i ty . Our Lord Jesus

Chr ist said; " I an d t he Father ar e One" (John 10:30). So, the Holy

Trin i ty had t ransformed i tse l f in t o a human form t o car r y out H is

des igned dut ies on ear th . However, a t t imes, He has to assum e His

sp i r i tua l body so as to per fec t the sp i r i tua l aspect s o f H is dut ies .

The Holy Spir i t is everyt h ing. I t is love, hope, peac e, fa i th et c.

Wi thout these a t t r ibu tes , the Holy Sp i r i t cannot dw el l in you. In

Mat thew 17:19-21, w hen the d isc ip les o f Our Lord Jesus Chr is t asked

Him w hy they cou ld not c ast out dev i ls f rom people: He answ ered

them and said; "Bec ause of your unbel ief : for ver i ly I say unt o you, i f

you have fa i th as a g rain of m ustar d seed, ye shal l say, unto t h is

mount a in , move hence to yonder place; and i t sha l l move: and noth ing

sha l l be imposs ib le unto you. Howbei t t h is k ind goeth not out but by

prayer and fas t ing. " I f you fas t and pray w i t hout the a t t r ibu tes o f the

Holy Spir i t , then your fast ing and prayers are in vain. But i f you do that

w i th a l l the a t t r ibu tes o f t he Holy Sp i r i t , you sha l l per form m irac les .

TH E FATHER HA D FIN ISHED HIS WORK AS WELL AS THE SON. NOW

IS THE TIME FOR THE REIGN OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. TH E MOST HI GH

AND HOLY TRINI TY HA D TAK EN DOMIN ION AND WILL REIGN

FOREVER AND EVER.


"Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go aw ay, and com e again unt o

you. I f ye loved me, ye would re jo ic e, bec ause I said, I go unto t he

Father : For my Father is great er than I . "


31/60


31

A loca l adage says tha t "w hen the w ar i s too f i erce , the k ing mus t go

to the w ar f ront ." Our Lord Jesus Chr is t to ld H is d isc ip les that He w as

going to H is Father w ho is greater than Him. There w as that need for

H im to re tur n to the Father so that t hey may becom e one. As they are

now one, e f for t s w i l l be combined to ease or speed up any work . The

need for Our Lord Jesus Chr is t t o depart unt o His Father has been

emphas ized in John 14:23 " I f a man love me, he w i l l k eep my w ords:

and my Father w i l l love h im, and we w i l l com e unto h im, and make our

abode wi t h h im."

I t shou ld be noted that not on ly Our Lord Jesus Chr is t w i l l make His

abode in us but He, a long w i th H is Father. Th is is a message o f g reat

joy as He st at ed; " .. .I f ye love m e, ye w ould re jo ic e.. ." (J ohn

14:23/John17:21-23).

Form er ly, some or thodox churc hes operated w i thout the Holy Spi r i t .

They ne i ther knew anyth ing about the Holy Sp i r i t nor w anted to hear

about Him . How ever, th ey are look ing for the Holy Spir i t , and are

en joying the operat ions o f the Holy Sp i r it . Th is is because, the Holy

Spi r i t has made Himsel f know n in every sphere o f l i fe .

In fac t , w i th t he mani fes ta t ion o f t he Holy Sp i r i t , every th ing has

taken new d imens ion. People , fo r ins tance, are changed f rom bad to

good. A l l tha t happens in the wor ld today is as a resu l t o f t he

presence o f the Holy Sp i r i t . A l l ca lami t ies , bankrupt cy in count r ies

and spi r i tua l unrest in the wor ld are caused by the Holy Sp i r i t . They

are meant t o happen so that t he salvat ion o f the w or ld w i l l g ive g lory

to God.

I f the prod iga l son d id not run shor t o f every t h ing, (money, food,

c lot h ing and joy), he w ould not have gone back t o h is father. The

Sov ie t Un ion, fo r ins tance, s tar t ed search ing for God w hen somet h ing

horr ib le that w as beyond the i r com prehens ion happened to t hem. In a

nutshe l l , a l l the happenings of t h is wor ld are as a resu l t o f the

"J esus answ ered and said unt o h im, Ver i ly, ver i ly , I say unto t hee,

Exc ept a m an be born aga in , he cannot see the k ingdom of God.

Nicodemus sa i th unto h im , How c an a man be born w hen he is o ld?

Jesus answ ered, Ver i ly , ver i ly, I say unto the e, Except a man be bor n

of w ater and of t he Sp i r i t , he cannot ent er in to the k ingdom of God."

Second Bib le Lesson: Mark 16:16-18

"He t hat bel ieveth and is bapt ized shal l be saved; but he that

be l ieveth not sha l l be damned.

And these s igns sha l l fo l low them that be l ieve; In my nam e sha l l they

They sha l l take up serpents ; and i f t hey dr ink any deadly th ing, it sha l l

not hur t them ; they sha ll lay hands on the s ick , and they sha l l

Golden Text : Matt hew 3:15-17

"And Jesus answer ing sa id unto h im, Suf fer i t t o be so now : for

thus i t becom eth us t o fu l f i l l a l l r igh teousness. Then he suf fered h im.

And Jesus, w hen he was bapt ized, w ent up s t ra ightw ay out o f t he

your heart be also." (Matt 6:21). We have not c om e here t o dance, s ing

or eat . I t is t he Word of God t hat has broug ht us her e. Our Lord Jesus

Chr is t a t t es ted that i t i s the sp i r i t w ho qu ickens, the f lesh is o f no

avai l . The Words that I have spoken to you, they are Spir i t and t hey are

l i fe .(John 6 :63)The bread w hich cam e down f rom heaven w hich you

hear of, refers to t he wor d of God.(John 6:41) Our Lord Jesus Chr is t is

the w ord o f God. The Holy Spir i t is t he Word of God. God himse l f is t he

Word.

That is w hy, w hen Phi l ip sa id show us the Father, and we sha l l be

sat is f ied , He answered and sa id , "Have I been so long t ime w i th you

and yet hast t hou not k nown m e, Ph i l ip? Be l ievest thou not that I am

the Father. I am in the Father and the Father is in m e. The Words that

I speak unto you I speak not o f myse l f : but t he Father that dw el le th in

m e, He doeth t he w ork s." (John 14:9-10).

A l l the inhabi tant s o f the w or ld shou ld now k now t hat God is the

Word. Whenever you come here no mat t er your cond i t ion or

disposi t ion in l i fe . Are you s ick? Are you bl ind? Do you have a ca se in

the cour t? Do you have any one s ick at home? Are you poor and

w ant ing in anyth ing? Are you af f l i c t ed? Have you t r ia ls and

your at t ent i on and bel ieve fervent ly in t he Word of God, and al l your

prob lems and d i f f i c u l t ies are so lved.

Th is morn ing I sha l l not be t ed ious unto you. What you have

are the s ta tement s f rom the mouth o f our Lord Jesus Chr is t . He

We are not ta lk ing about church denominat ion. We are not

ta lk ing about the ch i ld ren o f God. We are not ta lk ing about a tu i t ion

We are ta lk ing about t he K ingdom of God. Forget about w hether you

are a necrom ancer, or a mem ber o f a secre t soc ie ty , a mem ber o f any

church denominat ion. Forget about w hatever is your s ta tus in l i fe .

Have you heard the message today? Jesus the Chr is t says:

except you are born aga in you cannot enter in to t h is K ingdom, ne i ther

can you see i t . Many o f you c la im t hat you are comm unicant s or e lders

in the c hurch. There is no doubt about that , but Our Lord Jesus Chr is t

says, un less you are born aga in , you cannot ent er in to t he K ingdom of

God ne i ther c an you see i t .

I t i s necessary t ha t we shou ld si t down and cog i ta te on w hat w i l l

I now w ant t o te l l you w hat separates you f rom t he Holy Sp i r i t .

You have a share in the Holy Spir i t . I have a share in i t . Every per son

has a share in the Holy Spir i t . But i f you are not bor n again, you have

denied the Holy Sp i ri t and He is not in you. That has been t he cause o f

the dow n fa l l o f t he ent i re w or ld . They argue that the Holy Sp i r i t does

not ex is t aga in , that Chr is t has not ye t c ome and that God has not ye t

com e. The t ru t h is that He has com e. He d id not go anyw here. The

Holy Sp i r i t i s here . But i f you are not born aga in you cannot see H im,

and you cannot ent er in to the K ingdom of God.

I t i s sa id that t he K ingdom of God cannot be entered w i th your

w eal th . You can on ly enter i t by fa i th . I want to put i t t o you aga in that

a l l w ho are born o f w omen are shapened in s in and are born in in iqui ty .

(Ps 51:5) . Whoever is born of a w om an is not pure and unless you be

born aga in o f w ater and o f the Sp i r i t , you cannot enter in to t he

Kingdom of God, ne i ther c an you

see i t . Do not c ont inue to be dece ived that t he power o f the Holy Sp i r i t

ended on the day o f Pentec ost . There has never been a t im e w hen God

did not ex ist . He abides forever. Chr is t has said t hat God is a Spir i t and

the t r ue worsh ippers must w orsh ip Him in sp i r i t and in t r u th . (John

4:24).

What do you lose w hen you repent , forsake your s ins, get

bapt ized and rec eive the Holy Spir i t . What is your loss? You wi l l see

h im and dw el l in h im. And he a lso dwel ls in you. And so Brethren, i f i t

w ere not that d i f f i cu l t , the hen would have ur inated. John bore

w i tness to Our Lord Jesus Chr is t that He was greater than h im. And

that he w as not w or t hy to unt ie the la tchet o f H is shoes. Why then d id

our Lord Jesus Chr is t have to go to c onfess his s ins and be bapt ized of

John the Bapt is t? Why d id Our Lord Jesus Chr is t sub jec t h im sel f fo r

bap t i sm i f bap t i sm w ere not e f f i cac ious?

Him. You cannot a lso put on Our Lord Jesus Chr is t .

Bapt ism by imm ers ion in w ater is very impor tant . I t has great

power t o acc ompl ish anyth ing. What has separated you f rom the Holy

Spi r i t i s the fac t that you have re fused to be born aga in . I t does not

cost you a kobo.

Today, af ter hear ing t h is gospel , i f you bel ieve and c onfess al l

your s ins and repent , by re f ra in ing f rom preparat ion o f conc oct ion,

f rom forn ic at ing, f rom m al ice aga ins t any person, f rom quarre l l ing and

use o f abus ive language, from drunkenness and thereaf ter be bapt ized

in w ater, you w i l l rea l ize that w hen you come out , you w i l l no t need

any person to te l l you that you are in the K ingdom of God. Even i f

you erec t a magni f icent bu i ld ing and inla id i t w i th go ld and ca l l i t the

house of God, even i f you buy Him an expensive c ar, i t is a w aste of

t im e. I f you fa i l to repent o f your s ins and rece ive bapt ism , you

cannot see th is K ingdom and you have no share in i t .

I f you pack a l l your money and d is t r ibu te i t to t he people a long

the s t reets , but you are not born a ga in , you are mere ly w ast ing your

t im e. I f you do not repent o f your thef t and forn icat ions and hat red

and

sorcer ies and rece ive bapt ism , you are w ast ing your t ime in w hatever

else you are doing.

You wi l l cont inue to wai t unt i l Jesus comes back a ga in i f you do

not repent . He is here doing His work . The Father as w el l as the Son

as wel l as the Holy Sp i r i t i s here w ork ing. He is the one do ing th is

w ork and not any f lesh and b lood.

I f you w ere to search the B ib le , you would have know n w hat Our

Lord Jesus Chr is t said to His d isc ip les. He says: I f you love m e you

w i l l keep My com mandm ents and I w i l l p ray the Father to send you

another Comfor t er, even the Sp i ri t o f Tru th , w h ich the w or ld cannot

see nor receive. (John 14:15-17). But you know Him bec ause He is in

you and w i l l ab ide w i t h you forever. T i l l doomsday, you w i l l c ont inue to

re fer to Brotherhood members as dement ed fe l lows. When they knock

the i r heads on the ground, you w i l l a rgue that w e are knock ing our

heads to ju ju, mer maid , or Bee lzebub. That is w hat you cont inue to

see.

But t oday you have been g iven a cha l lenge. Acc ept our Lord

Jesus Chr is t . Repent and confess al l your s ins. Go and rec eive w ater

bapt ism. When you com e out o f the wat er and rece ive the Holy Sp i r i t ,

w he ther you w i l l s t i l l re fe r to t hem as menta l cases .

I am not a t a l l surpr ised by the ac t ions o f the w or ld . Our Lord

Jesus Chr is t had sa id , i f t hey ca l l m e Beelzebub, they w i l l a lso ca l l you

Beelzebub. (Matt 10:25). Whoever has the Holy Spir i t , w ho is t he doer

of the w ork s , has to be ca l led Beelzebub. You wi l l no t know w hat e lse

to c a l l H im; you are a f ra id o f H im and that is w hy you run f rom Him.

I HAVE NEVER AT A NY T IME TOLD ANY PERSON TH AT I A M

J ESUS, OR TH E CHRIST, OR THAT I AM PROPHET OR AN ELDER. I AM

NOTHING WHATSOEVER. BUT TH E ONE THING I K NOW IS THAT IT IS

THE HOLY SPIRIT WH O WORKS.

Jesus the Chr is t H imsel f has sa id : " I c an o f my ow n se l f do

noth ing. As I hear I judge and My judgment is r igh t because I seek not

My own w i l l bu t t he Wi l l o f H im w ho sent Me." (John 5 :30).

TH E FATHER WHICH H E SAYS IS LIV ING IN

HIM IS NONE ELSE THAN THE HOLY SPIRIT. IFHE HA D REFUSED TO RECEIV E BAPTI SM BECAUSE OF HIS POSITI ON

AS THE SON OF GOD, TILL TODAY, HE WOULD N OT HAVE

ACCOMPLISHED ANYT HING. HE WOULD HAVE REMAINED LIK E ANY

ONE OF US.

He l ived for 29 years on ear t h but no one k new or heard o f H im

because He d id not rece ive the Holy Sp i r i t . The la id dow n pr inc ip le is

that w hoever is not born o f w ater and o f the sp i r i t , can ne i ther enter

nor see the K ingdom of God. NO DOUBT, HE IS GOD. HE IS TH E SON

OF GOD. HE IS TH E SON OF MAN, BUT I F HE WAS NOT BORN OF
