thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied MY NAME.

INTRODUCTION:

WHO DO MEN SAY THAT I AM, AND WHO DO YOU SAY THAT I AM ?

INTERVIEW WITH WARRI NEWSBy Brume IkperikpeJust Back from Calabar

August 2000

There have been widespread speculations, even among members of hisflock, that the Founder and Sole spiritual leader of the Brotherhood of theCross and Star (BCS). Olumba Olumba Obu was dead.What fueled the rumors and speculations was the sudden disappearancefrom public glare of the "King of Kings," as he is commonly referredto byadherents, several years ago. For some time now all activities ofthe churchoutside Calabar which were supposed to be carried out by Olumba himself arehandled by his son, Bishop Rowland Obu.So severe were the conflicting reports of his death the WARRI NEWSeveralive to its responsibilities, got cracking and anchored in Calabar, the WorldHeadquarters of the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star on a fact findingmission.

WARRI NEWScan authoritatively reveal that Leader Olumba Olumba Obuis very much alive, hale and hearty.Our reporter arrived at Calabar at exactly 9:30 pm on Saturday, August 6th,2000 and headed straight to the church headquarters where incidentally, theAugust 2000 jubilee celebration was taking place, which attracted thousandsof faithfulls from all branches of Brotherhood nationwideUnaware that the visitor was a journalist, a member of the Church whenaccosted said, You cant just walk in and see the leader like that. There arecertain processes you have to follow. He continued, First you have to go tothe Media and Publicity Unit and if they are satisfied with your mission, theywill refer you to another higher authority and if they are satisfied, you will thenbe taken to see the Father.Unimpressed with the response, our reporter nosed around 34 Ambo wherethe Brotherhood headquarters is located, until a trader who was selling hiswares said to our reporter, Papa is alive. When prodded further, the traderwho apparently was of Igbo extraction added, You know Papa is old. His


7/57

son usually holds brief for him these days. But he is there. He strolls outsidethe compound occasionally and goes back. These were all Warri Newscould gather on the first visit.

At 5am the following Sunday Morning, Warri Newswas already there, thistime with a resolute mission to uncover the true position of things. Afterintroducing himself and explaining his mission, our reporter was taken toBrother Eyo Okon, the information Secretary of Brotherhood of the Crossand Star inside the main auditorium. As he was answering questions fromour reporter, Olumba Olumba Obu, the founder and Sole Spiritual Leader ofBrotherhood of the Cross and Star Worldwide, emerged from his temple tothe bewildered amusement of our reporter. Okon suddenly sprawled on thefloor and announced the presence and mission of this reporter to the Holy

Father. This reporter was called upon to mount the rostrum with amicrophone. After explaining his mission himself as requested, this briefdialogue took place between him and Leader Olumba Olumba Obu: Mr. Journalist, as you came here did you meet my corpse?No sir, I met you alive, our reporter replied.He continued, I am aware of the rumors of my death, even among membersof my church. But I can assure you that all those wishing me dead, or are

spreading wicked rumors that I am dead, they will all die. I cannot die.God does not die. Is it true that you can appear physically at different places at the sametime? our reported inquired.He replied, Oh yes! God does not stay in one place. I am everywhere. Thelegendary Olumba Olumba Obu replied.He continued, I installed Charles Taylor as President of Liberia. He camehere to Calabar to see me, and I gave him the presidency of Liberia.They said no black man would rule South Africa, but I ensured that NelsonMandela ruled that country and succeeded by Thabo Mbeki.He continued further, I gave Shegu Shagari a 6-month ultimatum to repent.He refused and he was toppled exactly on the day the ultimatum expired .

I have also made sure that a black man will rule the United States ofAmerica, soon, the spiritual leader added.One fascination thing about Olumba Olumba Obu our reporter noted, wasthat at 82, having manifested on earth in 1918, is that there is nothing toshow that he was aged. Calm, soft-spoken, without any trace of wrinkles orany other tell- tale sign of old age, Olumba looked like a 45 year old man. He

jumped and danced around effortlessly.


8/57

A spokesman for the Brotherhood, Paul Ugochukwu, said the leader wouldnever grow old. He gets younger and younger by the day. Ugochukwu, afamous aircraft pilot enthused.

Another aide, His Royal Highness, Uforo Edidem, said when Olumba wasborn a blind woman carried him and she immediately regained her sight. Atthe end of the session, our reporter was requested to sing a Christian songfor the Father, as Papa loves songs.Our reporter chose this song, We give Glory to the Lord, He reigns. Hereigns, He reigns, He reigns, we give glory to the Lord He reigns.The Holy Father nodded in approval, while the rest of the congregationexploded in ecstasy and took up the chorus .By this report, all speculations and rumors over the purported death of

Leader Olumba Olumba Obu has finally been put to rest. He is hale andhearty and does not seem to be in a hurry to leave this planet.

HIGHLIGHTS:

1. YOU HAVE HEARD THAT THE WORLD WAS TO BE DESTROYED BETWEEN 1916 AND1917, BUT IN 1918 THE HOLY SPIRIT MANIFESTED IN THE WORLD. YOU HAVEHEARD THAT THE SECOND WORLD WAR WOULD HAVE WIPED OFF THE ENTIRE WORLD.

BUT FOR THE SAKE OF THE EXISTENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN OUR MIDST,

SUCH AN OCCURRENCE WAS TAKEN AWAY. YOU ARE AWARE THAT THE LAST CIVIL

WAR IN NIGERIA WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN A THIRD WORLD WAR, BUT BECAUSE

OF THE RIGHTEOUS PERSON IN OUR MIDST, OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, GOD

TOOK AWAY SUCH A THING. Do you know that everyday people are hatching

plans to destroy the world, they are engaging in many destructive

ventures.BUT FOR THE SAKE OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WHO REIGNS

SUPREME,nothing disastrous happens and nothing can flap its wings.

2. Our Lord Jesus Christ never bore testimony about any man, prophet,pastor or person.HE BORE ELOQUENT TESTIMONY ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT

WHO IS NOW IN OUR MIDST. BUT DO YOU KNOW HIM? This explains why

I always enjoin you to preach Him always. What you are now seeing

has never been seen. He is everywhere. He abides with you and His

presence is felt everywhere. However, men have nicknamed Him

Beelzebub, vampire, and such other names.Man has not really received

the Holy Spirit; neither has he received Him properly since 1918,yet He has brought great joy. He said that this generation shall not

pass away until all things have been fulfilled. (Matt 24:34).And

now it is only two years until the year 2000 when the reign of the

Holy Spirit shall take shape. He has come to turn things around.

2. THE YEAR OF THE LORD:

This gospel is a reminder of the word spoken by Our Lord Jesus Christ.

THE HOLY SPIRIT MANIFESTED HIMSELF ON EARTH SINCE 1918.He

now reigns in heaven and on earth. Sad enough, man is gazing into

the sky, expecting Christ to come there from.WHEN HE WAS ON EARTH,

DID MEN LISTEN TO HIM?To herald the coming of the Holy Spirit,

there was an epidemic of influenza in the world. That disease wasused to eliminate all the evil and sinful men. This therefore is a

lucky race.

3. GOD CREATED MAN IN HIS OWN IMAGE. THIS EXPLAINS WHY EACH TIME HE

COMES HE TAKES ON HUMAN FORM. IN THIS DISPENSATIONHE HAS COME BY

HIMSELF, SENDING NO ONE. HE HAS COME TO ABIDE ON EARTH FOREVER. HE

HAS COME TO PUT THINGS IN THEIR PROPER SHAPES AND POSITIONS. WATCH


10/57

AND SEE WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE WORLD.

4.To call me a Leader is correct because God has provided a living example for you in me in

order to lead you to God's Kingdom. The qualities you see in me are for you to emulate. But

to call me God, no please, I am not the one. The reason I do not worry myself to move from oneplace to another to preach is BECAUSE THE FATHER IS HERE, AND ALL THINGS HAVE

BEEN SUBJECTED TO HIM, AND HE IS THE ONE DOING ALL THINGS. HE IS THE

ONE TO RECONCILE THE WHOLE WORLD TO HIMSELF. UNDER HIM I AM

FREE, JUST AS YOU ARE.

4.FIRST BIBLE LESSON: ACTS 1:10-11

"And while they looked steadfastly toward heavens as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in

white apparel; Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This same

Jesus which is taken up from you in heaven shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into

heaven."

THIS PASSAGE DOES NOT SAY THAT CHRIST SHALL DESCEND ORFLY DOWN THE WAY HE HAD GONE. THE PASSAGE EXPLAINS THAT

THE SAME PERSON, THE SAME HUMAN BODY THAT YOU WATCH

TAKEN UP INTO HEAVEN IN THE SAME BODY SHALL COME BACK.

"IN LIKE MANNER," THEREFORE, MEANS IN THE SAME BODY,

FLESH.WAS CHRIST NOT BROUGHT FORTH BY A WOMAN? IN LIKE

MANNER SHALL THE IRON ROD RULER, THE SAME CHRIST BE

CONCEIVED OF A WOMAN AND BE PUT TO BIRTH. BUT WHETHER

YOU BELIEVE OR NOT, THE ONE DESTINED TO RULE AND WHO HAS

COME TO RULE WILL RULE UNDISTURBED.THE WORLD IS ONLY

BEING JEALOUS. THE SAME JEALOUSY THAT CAUSED LUCIFER TO

DISOBEY GOD'S ORDER AND ALSO CAUSED CAIN TO KILL ABEL.

THE WORLD IS ALWAYS UP IN ARMS AGAINST ANYTHING GOOD.


11/57

1. HE HAS COME TO REIGN

FIRST BIBLE LESSON: ACTS 1:19-11

And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by

them in white apparel: Which also said, ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into

heaven? This same Jesus, which is taken up from you in heaven, shall so come in like

manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven.

SECOND BIBLE LESSON: HEBREW 2:7-8

Thou madest him a little lower than angels; thou crownedst Him with glory and honor, and

didst set him over the works of thy hands: Thou hast put all things in subjection under His

feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him.

But now we see not yet all things put under Him.

GOLDEN TEXT: REVELATION 12:5

And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron, and her

child was caught up to God and his throne.

Brethren the three texts form the basis of our sermon. This is not the time to deceive any person,

either with vision or dream or otherwise. It is said the kingdom of this world has become thekingdom of Jehovah God and His Christ. (Rev 11:15). It is also said that what was done to the

Israelites shall also be done unto the Gentiles. His coming had been revealed, and this is the time

for the manifestation of the revelation.

It was revealed that a young girl would give birth to a male child, and his name will be Emmanuel.

It was also revealed that a woman shall deliver a man child who will rule the world with a rod of

iron. All power in heaven and on earth, according to the revelation, is handed unto this man-child.

The revelation has been fulfilled this day but the world does not know Him. The world is instead

gazing into the sky, going to the mountain tops and gathering stones and sticks to seek for power

and help. Why has this wisdom eluded the whole world?

The problems of the world are brought about by this ignorance. When you say that you cannot

worship any man, who was the one who ascended? Was he a stone or a stick or a fish or an angel?

Which angel has God ever told, "Ye are my son and this day have I begotten thee?" (Heb 1:5).

The angel made it clear through the revelation that the man-child shall be brought forth by a


12/57

woman. In the first advent His name was given as Jesus, the Emmanuel, meaning God with man.

But this time around the mystery is that no name has been given. But it is said in the scriptures that

He will come with an iron rod to rule the world. Therefore if you fail to know and recognize this

person who had been empowered to rule the world with an iron rod and into whose hands all powerin heaven and on earth is entrusted, you are doomed.

If all power and authority is given to this being that you refuse to recognize, what will you do on

the day of judgment? All the trees, stones, angels and the rest of the creatures bow down and

worship Him. If you, man, refuse to worship Him, from where will your salvation come? Do you

remember what happened to Lucifer?

In the case of Our Lord Jesus Christ it was prophesied that a young girl should bring forth a male

child and His name shall be called Jesus. But in this case, the revelation is that a woman shall bring

forth a man child who will rule the world with a rod of iron.

This latter revelation has since been fulfilled, and the man child is ruling with a rod of iron. The

problem with the world is that they do not know Him, and instead of seeking to know and

recognize Him they are saying that they cannot worship a man.

THE FIRST ADAM WAS A CHILD OF GOD, AND THE SECOND ADAM WAS A CHILD OF

GOD. THE THIRD ADAM IS THE MANIFESTATION OF THE FATHER, THE SON

AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. HE HAS BEEN GIVEN ALL POWER AND AUTHORITY WITH

WHICH TO RULE THE WHOLE WORLD. HE THEREFORE HAS NOT COME AS A

PREACHER OR PROPHET OR A MESSENGER, BUT AS A KING WITH POWER ANDAUTHORITY TO RULE HEAVEN AND EARTH.

OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS THE SAME TODAY, TOMORROW, AND FOREVER.

(Heb 13:8).

The first Christ was given superintendence over the fishes in water, the birds of the air, the

animals in the bushes, the trees and all the things created by God. Since that time that the

authority was given to Him, has He been dethroned? Or has that authority been taken away

from Him? He came back to continue His kingship in the kingdom of His Father which endures

forever. At that time His itinerary was not made a matter of: "no cross, no crown." IN THE SAME

MANNER HE HAS COME AGAIN, NOT ANSWERING JESUS, BUT WITH A NEW

NAME AND WITH A ROD OF IRON TO RULE THE WORLD. HE HAS COME WITH A

NEW NAME WHICH IS WRITTEN BENEATH HIS GARMENT WHICH NO ONE

KNOWS EXCEPT HIMSELF.

THOSE OF YOU WHO QUESTION WHY THE HOLY FATHER HAS NOT

REVEALED THIS WISDOM TO THE ENTIRE WORLD, HAVE YOU


13/57

FORGOTTEN HEROD'S INTENTION AND PLANS WHEN HE HEARD

THAT A KING WAS BORN?To make sure that he had no rival and no other personreigned during his life-time, Herod ordered that all male children of particular ages be

killed. That shows you how wonderful man is. But unfortunately for man, God isall-knowing.

If God were to disclose to the world, like it was done in the case of Jesus Christ, human beings and

governments would rise up in arms against such a person. Nobody knows whether he is black or

white for now. As the heaven is higher than the earth, so also has God's wisdom surpassed man's.

(Isa 55:9). How will you be able to know this person who is destined to rule the world with a rod of

iron and who has been trusted with all power and authority in heaven and on earth? It is written that

he will come like a thief in the night. (1 Thessl 5:2).

A fool at forty is said to be a fool forever. Being fooled once is understandable; but to be fooled asecond time means you are a fool forever. God has since realized that messengers and prophets and

even His Begotten Son, He has been sending down end up being slain by man. That is why this

time around, He has decided to come by Himself and with full grace. His advent has therefore

eluded the entire world.

The world is wasting its time, energy and money to visit the sun, moon, and stars and the rest

of the planets to investigate and try to find out this mystery. They are merely wasting their

time because power and authority over all the planets is in the hands of this being whose

identity they are trying to unravel.

If your enemy intends to go to war with you and he has one thousand soldiers while you have only

twenty, the only remedy is for you to go and make peace with him. Initially the world had thought

this kingdom to be a thing to joke with. But they have realized that it is not something to toy with.

When a child is born in the world, the people will try to investigate through various ways to know

what kind of a person that child will grow up to be. If they realize that the child is likely to be

prominent, they will find one way or the other to eliminate that child.

*FOR THOSE WHO ARE AWAITING THE ARRIVAL OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRISTFROM THE SKY, IF IT SHOULD HAPPEN LIKE THAT WHAT DO YOU THINK THE

ENEMIES WOULD DO? WOULD THEY ALLOW HIM TO LAND AT ALL? AND IF HEHAS TO LAND AT ALL, WHERE WILL HE LAND? WITH THE HUMAN LAWS OVER

THE LAND, SEA AND AIR, WHERE WILL THE PEOPLE ALLOW HIM TO LAND?

THE SAME THING THAT HAPPENED TO THE ISRAELITES AND THE PEOPLE OF

OLD IS REPEATING ITSELF TODAY.

It was stated in their books that Elijah shall come before the Messiah. (Matt 11:10-15). To make


14/57

matters worse for them, Elijah was taken up in the manner that was known by the people, and

because of that all of them expected him to come back in that manner before the arrival of Our

Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore when Christ the Messiah arrived without the appearance of Elijah

as stated in their books, the people disbelieved Him. Even up till now, the Israelites are stillexpecting the arrival of Elijah. Their hearts were further hardened to enhance their

disbelief because of their ill will and evil intentions.

The same thing continues today. The people failed to know that John the Baptist who was brought

forth by Elisabeth, was the Elijah who had come to herald the coming of Jesus Christ (Matthew

11:14/ Mark 9:11-13). Herod asked the wise men to inform him after seeing the new-born king so

that he too could go and worship him. If the wise men had gone back to inform him, would Herod

not have gone straight, or sent soldiers, to kill Him? AS GOD HID THAT KNOWLEDGE OF

THE NEW KING FROM THAT GENERATION, SO ALSO HAS HE HIDDEN THE

KNOWLEDGE OF THE IRON ROD RULER FROM THE PRESENT GENERATION.

He has said in John 14: 19 that, "Yet a little while the world seeth me no more; but ye see me;

because I live, ye shall live also." Therefore when you pray God to reveal this mystery to the

whole world, do you imagine what eyes they would want to see this kingdom with?THOSE

WHOM HE DESIRES TO SEE AND TO KNOW HIM HE HAS REVEALED HIMSELF

UNTO THEM. The worldly people are unbelievers and they do not like the truth. If you

want to pass through a place where your enemies are, you have to do so quietly. Equally, if

you want to go and rob somebody and you set off from your house with a bell and a public

address system, ringing and shouting as you walk ahead, before ever you reach your

destination, information shall have reached him and he would appropriately get himselfready for you or he would simply flee the house.He has come like a thief to surprise and

arrest all who do not believe in Him and also resist His governance.

In any case, what concerns us today is the revelation of the angel about the man-child and what

will happen. THE ANGEL DID NOT SAY THAT HE WILL DESCEND FROM

THE SKY.THE MEANING OF THE PASSAGE IS THAT: AS HE CAME AS A MAN,IN LIKE MANNER, SHALL HE COME BACK.Man has eyes but cannot see, has ears but

cannot hear, and the mind but cannot perceive. Their hearts have further been hardened so

that they would continue in their ignorance.EVEN AS THE MESSIAH WAS BROUGHT

FORTH BY A WOMAN, SO ALSO SHALL THE ONE WHO WILL RULE THE WORLDWITH A ROD OF IRON BE BROUGHT FORTH BY A WOMAN. ALL POWER,

AUTHORITY AND GLORY IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO

HIM. IF THEREFORE YOU SAY YOU CANNOT WORSHIP MAN, BUT YOU PREFER

TO WORSHIP STONES, TREES, WATER, LEAF, OR SAND, HAS GOD EVER GIVEN

HIS POWER TO THESE ELEMENTS AS HE GAVE MAN?

This thing is not revealed to you so that you will go and preach to unbelievers. It is


15/57

revealed to you in the first place as one who has been called in here to share in

the marriage feast and also so that you will gird up your loins. The disciples of OurLord Jesus Christ asked Him why He spoke to other people in parables, but spoke to them, the

disciples, in plain language? He told them it been written that he who has little, the same will betaken away from him and added to that of the person who has much. (Matt 25:29).God has further

blinded the eyes and blocked the ears of those who doubt and disbelieve so that they will not see

and hear. He has also hardened their hearts that they may not believe. But He has opened the eyes

and ears of those who are His children and broadened their minds to understand His injunctions

and obey and to behold his glory.

FIRST BIBLE LESSON: ACTS 1:10-11

"And while they looked steadfastly toward heavens as he went up, behold, two men stood by

them in white apparel; Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up intoheaven? This same Jesus which is taken up from you in heaven shall so come in like manner

as ye have seen him go into heaven."

THIS PASSAGE DOES NOT SAY THAT CHRIST SHALL DESCEND OR FLY DOWN

THE WAY HE HAD GONE. THE PASSAGE EXPLAINS THAT THE SAME PERSON,

THE SAME HUMAN BODY THAT YOU WATCH TAKEN UP INTO HEAVEN IN THE

SAME BODY SHALL COME BACK. "IN LIKE MANNER," THEREFORE, MEANS IN

THE SAME BODY, FLESH.WAS CHRIST NOT BROUGHT FORTH BY A WOMAN?

IN LIKE MANNER SHALL THE IRON ROD RULER, THE SAME CHRIST BE

CONCEIVED OF A WOMAN AND BE PUT TO BIRTH. BUT WHETHER YOUBELIEVE OR NOT, THE ONE DESTINED TO RULE AND WHO HAS COME TO RULE

WILL RULE UNDISTURBED.The world is only being jealous. The same jealousy that

caused Lucifer to disobey God's order and also caused Cain to kill Abel. The world is always

up in arms against anything good.

If it is a woman that will bring forth the man child who will rule the world with a rod of iron, then

what about the one the world is expecting from the sky? What and where will he rule? If God had

given all power and authority in heaven and on earth to the one who is to rule the world with a rod

of iron, and who shall be born of a woman, the one who is expected to crashland, where will he

have his power and authority? Those of you who say you cannot worship man, where will you be?The Second Lesson says He has been made a little lower than the angels. He has been

crowned with glory and honor and all things put in subjection under His feet. It is said that

when God shall send forth His first born into the earth, He shall instruct all the angels to

worship Him and serve Him.Who are you, man to object to His rule? One angel is capable of

destroying the whole world, yet with such power they all bow down and worship this man-child.

This is the same being into whose hand all power and authority has been trusted and the same

person has control and superintendence over all things created in heaven and on earth, including


16/57

the angels. His power is therefore indescribable. Two cocks, it is said, cannot crow on the same

rooftop.

THERE IS TIME FOR EVERYTHING: WHEN HE CAME AS THE SON, HE CAME TO BEKILLED SO THAT SALVATION WOULD COME TO THE ENTIRE WORLD. BUT

THIS TIME AROUND HE HAS COME TO RULE WITH ALL POWER AND

AUTHORITY UNLIMITED. What is happening now in the communist countries is not

wrought by man. If any man were to claim responsibility for the events in these countries,

would all nations not rise against such a man? Therefore, God's wisdom, His power, His love

and promise surpass human knowledge. Many people are fasting or asking God to reveal

Himself to them if He has come, or to let them see signs. What they rather see are ghosts,

mermaids, apparition and witches and wizards. That notwithstanding, there are others who

see the Lord and speak with Him.

From time immemorial it is man that is usually glorified and not an animal or a tree. That is why

since Adam and Eve were driven from the Garden of Eden no other creature has been given

admission into the place. It is said that if one has been destined to rule then he will rule. It is man

that lost the glory; and the glory shall return once again to no other being than man. Adam and Eve

came as human beings, and offended God, and had to be punished. God in His infinite mercy and

love has come to glorify the same man. When a father beats his child with the right hand, he uses

the left to get the child back unto himself.

The basic entry qualification into this kingdom therefore, is Righteousness. That is why I tell you

that this kingdom does not admit hatred, division, anger, fornication, idolatry and the rest of thevices. This message is given to you so that you will know that you are in the kingdom of God. The

problem of the world is that they do not recognize the person, the man-child, into whose hands all

the power and authority have been trusted. His name has not been mentioned.

God is man, the Son of God is man, the Holy Spirit is man and even an angel is man. When

you say that you cannot worship man, are you not a child or perdition? Brotherhood of Cross and

Star therefore obeys man, respects man, loves man, worships and rejoices with man. It is said Let

brotherly love continue. Do not forget to entertain strangers; for thereby some have entertained

angels unawares. (HEBREW 13:1-2).GOD AT EACH ADVENT TAKES UP HUMAN

FORM AND MANIFEST AS MAN. HE DOES NOT COME WITH A PARTICULAR OR

SPECIAL UNIFORM TO DISTINGUISH HIM AND IDENTIFY HIM TO THE WORLD.

IF YOU PRAY TO GOD TO HELP YOU OUT OF A PROBLEM AND INCIDENTALLY

SOMEBODY APPEARS AND HELPS YOU, WHO DO YOU THINK THAT PERSON IS?

IS HE NOT GOD? THE FACT IS THAT FLESH AND BLOOD CANNOT KNOW HIM. IF

YOUR NAME HAS BEEN WRITTEN IN THAT BOOK OF LIFE, YOU WILL SEE HIM

WITH YOUR SPIRITUAL EYES. It is said that blessed are they that are invited to the marriage

feast. This is indeed the luckiest generation. There has never been another generation where there


17/57

is more abundance of Gods love, mercy, peace, patience and glory unto mankind. What caused

the Israelites to perish, and even up till this day, is because they refused to worship the man who

was sent to them. They claimed that Jesus Christ whom they knew, and His parents they also knew

and so, they could not worship Him. They were rather waiting for Elijah, whom they believedwould descend from the sky. Up till now they are still waiting for Elijah's arrival. God is man and

has life. No flesh and blood could of course have known Him. THE SAME GOD HAS COME

TO TEACH US HOW TO SERVE GOD AND PLEASE HIM. WHAT A LUCKY

GENERATION!

SECOND BIBLE LESSON: HEBREWS 2:7-8

Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honor,

and didst set him over the works of thy hands; thou has put all things in subjection under

His feet. For in that he put all in subjection under Him, He left nothing that is not put underHim. But now we see not yet all things put under Him.

Those of you who worship angels and the rest of the things and call upon them to save you, have

they been given power? The absolute power has been bestowed upon man . If you have your hope

and belief in Holy Oil, vision, Biakpan water, etc. is it written that there is power bestowed

on these things? It is said that all power in heaven and on earth has been given to man.

It is said ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. YOUR FRIENDS AND

RELATIONS AND EVEN YOUR PARENTS MAY REJECT YOU ONCE THEY KNOW

THAT YOU HAVE KNOWN THE TRUTH. THEIR HATRED IS THAT ONCE YOUKNOW THE TRUTH YOU ARE BOUND TO BE FREE FROM THEIR TENTACLES.

ALL YOUR FRIENDS, RELATIONS AND PARENTS CAN DECEIVE YOU AND LET

YOU DOWN BUT THE HOLY FATHER WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU COMFORTLESS.

ALWAYS LOOK UNTO THE FATHER, FOR HE ALONE IS THE ONLY SOURCE OF

SALVATION. If you go to a visioner and buy him food, clothing, and build him a house, will

he or she help you? Many people have wasted all their wealth in ministerial work and celebrating

feast, yet these things could not bring salvation unto them. Others pray, burn incense, read the six

and seven books of Moses and say incantations, calling on the names of angels. All these things

cannot help them. DO NOT THEREFORE HOPE ON OR BELIEVE IN ANY OTHER

THING THAN IN GOD ALONE WHO HIMSELF IS MAN, UNTO WHOSE HANDS ALL

POWER IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH HAS BEEN ENTRUSTED. IT IS SAID THAT

ALL THINGS ARE PUT IN SUBJECTION UNDER HIS FEET. Except this thing is revealed

to you, you cannot know it and you cannot know Him.

You could employ the services of the police or army and give them ammunition to guard and

protect you yet you may still be killed. This is so because it was not written that these people will

protect life and property. That is why the same police, army and other security agents who are


18/57

armed to the teeth to protect life and property always turn around to kill and destroy. They are

self-centered and rebellious. The angels also are rebellious and unsympathetic, and that was why

Lucifer refused to obey God's instruction. But God is all loving, patient, kind and good. When

Lucifer discovered that a kingdom has been provided for man in the Garden of Eden, he becameangry and went straight and deceived him so that man would be driven from it. He was happy

when man was driven from the Garden of Eden and he thought that the kingdom would be handed

to him. That did not happen, for God has his own thoughts and still reserved the kingdom for man.

He has come to lead man back into that lost kingdom. That is why Satan has intensified efforts to

fight man and mislead man so that he will not enter that kingdom. GOD IS LOVE, THE

TRUTH, MERCY, PEACE, PATIENCE, HOPE, FAITH, AND EVERYTHING GOOD.

YOU CANNOT GET CLOSE TO HIM WITH ANY FILTH. MAN HAS BEEN

SUFFERING AND TODAY HE CONTINUES TO SUFFER BECAUSE HE DEPENDS ON

THE ANGELS FOR EXISTENCE AND GUIDANCE.THE LAWS THAT WERE GIVEN,

EVEN THE TEN COMMANDMENTS HANDED TO MOSES AND THE PUNISHMENTSTHAT ACCOMPANIED THEM CAME FROM THE ANGEL. GOD IS SO MERCIFUL

AND KIND AND HE DOES NOT WANT ANY PERSON TO SUFFER. SHORTLY

THERE WILL BE NO MORE ROBBERY, FIGHTING, KILLING, AND OPPRESSION

IN THE WHOLE WORLD. HE HAS COME TO SAVE MANKIND WHETHER OR NOT

MAN ACCEPTS HIM.HE HAS NOT COME TO PARADE HIMSELF ALONG THE

STREETS, OR TO APPEAR ON THE TELEVISION, OR TO PERFORM MIRACLES.

HE HAS BEEN ENDOWED AND ADORNED WITH ALL POWER AND GLORY TO

RULE. HE HAS COME TO STRAIGHTEN ALL THE THINGS THAT HAD BEEN

CROOKED. HAVING BEEN ENDOWED AND ADORNED WITH ALL POWER AND

GLORY WHAT DOES HE NEED FROM MAN OR ANY OTHER CREATURE? HERULES WITH LOVE, PEACE, MERCY, PATIENCE AND ALL THE VIRTUES. He

wants all nations to be one, all to be well fed, clothed, sheltered, and free from the bondage of

Satan, sin, and from sickness. Can any man do these works? That is why He does not have the

need to consult any person for any advice, because human beings themselves are deceitful and

selfish. He has the power and authority to do anything. He is complete. There is therefore no need

to go about preaching to man or animals that God has come. What is the usefulness? What is man

capable of doing to God? THOSE OF YOU GOD HAS CALLED TO PARTICIPATE IN

THIS MARRIAGE FEAST SHOULD ONLY STRIVE TO FORSAKE SIN. HE HAS

COME TO FREE THE OPPRESSED AND TO LEAD THE WORLD UNTO THE

ACCURATE WISDOM OF THE TRUTH. WHATEVER SITUATION YOU FIND

YOURSELF IN, JUST CALL UPON HIM AND HE WILL ANSWER YOU.


"And she brought forth a man child who has to rule all nations with a rod of iron; and her

child was caught up to God and His throne."


19/57

Does any scientist know anything about the above passage? Does any church have any idea about

the passage? Do the secret societies know anything about that passage? That a woman brought

forth a man-child who would rule all nations with a rod of iron? This is a passage all of us should

fast and pray over and be careful of our activities in view of this passage. The passage summarizesthe theme of this gospel. He has not come to go about from street to street begging for anything or

to campaign for anything. He has come to rule and to reign and is seated on His throne in His

Kingdom. The first lesson made it clear as was stated unto the Galileans, "...Why stand ye gazing

up into heaven? This same Jesus which is taken up from you unto heaven shall so come in like

manner as ye have seen him go into heaven." The second lesson states clearly that man, though

made a little lower than the angels, has been crowned with glory and honor and all things have

been put in subjection under his feet. Still, man has not come to this understanding.

Other spirits had been here even before the creation and the advent of Adam and Eve, but God did

not find it fit to give that glory and power to the spirits. The angels, the trees, the animals, thefishes, the birds and the rest of creation, had existed before Adam was created. But he did not find

it fit to glorify those creatures and bestow His power and authority on them. If you continue to

resist the rulership of man, pray fervently for yourself. Those who claim to worship only the

Living God should continue. What many people do today is to punish man, disagree with man,

imprison him and do all sorts of things to him. People assemble stones, sticks, sand and leaves and

worship them and nobody complains. But if you say you worship man, you are immediately

condemned. People believe and worship juju, soothsayers, mermaids, amulets and the rest of fetish

things. But you stand aptly condemned if you say you worship man.

This gospel is to bring to your knowledge the fact that man has been destined to rule and thereforebeen endowed and adorned with power and authority to do so. Therefore, whether the person is

white or black, young or old, short or tall, it does not matter. All you have to know is that he is man.

He was born on earth. Where he is born and how he looks like is what the world does not know.

The only pointer to his physical manifestation is the state of things in the world today. But man

does not care to give a second thought to these things. The churches, the institution of higher

learning, the secret societies, companies, governments and indeed the entire world have all failed

and they are all empty. The three wise men who went with gifts to pay homage to the new born

king did not bow down and worship a stone or stick or any other thing on their arrival. It is made

clear that they bowed down and worshipped the new born child called Emmanuel,meaning God

with man. It was also revealed that the young girl shall bring forth a child and his name shall bring

salvation to mankind. He came and completed that assignment. IT WAS AGAIN WRITTEN

THAT HE SHALL REAPPEAR IN HUMAN FORM AND HE SHALL CARRY OUT

GREATER ASSIGNMENTS. That is why we are told that a woman shall bring forth a man child

who will rule the world with an iron rod. That glory and honor has been given to him and all power

has been brought in subjection under his feet. If this man-child could wield such enormous and

unlimited power, would Satan then be left with any power at all? Could Satan or death, or Hades,

or any angels or any man for that matter be more powerful than the man-child? His position is


20/57

incontestable and His power unrivalled. That is why when I hear you say that Our Lord Jesus

Christ had died, I rebuke you, because you are saying what you do not know. If His kingship were

to be carnal, by now He would have been dethroned. That is why when you say that man passes

man and position passes power, I prove you wrong. FOR HE WHO HAS POWER IS GREATERTHE PERSON WHO HAS THE POSITION. That is why a king can easily be dethroned by his

subjects at will and a government or president can be overthrown at anytime by the people, the

masses or electorate. This is so because, these are the people who have the real power in their

hands.

Christ said through Paul that the Kingdom of God does not consist in eating and drinking but is

power. This further proves to you that power surpasses position. If you ask God to give you

money, wife, husband, children, houses, and so on, what would you do with all those things if you

have no power? But any person who has power can just come around and take all your property

away from you. That is why this man-child has come with glory and honor to rule the world. Noperson has ever come and ruled the world with an iron rod, except this man-child. That is why all

power in heaven and on earth is brought to total subjection under His feet. If you therefore call

Him Jesus, or prophet, or any name other than the iron rod ruler, you have failed. If you also pray

saying Our Father who art in heaven or on earth you have equally failed. He is seated on His throne

in His Father's Kingdom. HE HAS COME IN HIS GLORY AND NEVER TO MOVE FROM

PLACE TO PLACE TO PLACE FOR ANYTHING. IF THEREFORE YOU FIND

ANYBODY OR PERSONS WHO GO FROM PLACE TO PLACE, CLAIMING TO BE

THE PROMISED ONE, KNOW THAT THAT PERSON IS A DECEIVER AND A

HUNGRY PERSON. His power is not limited to any particular geographical areas or planet. His

power stretches forth to all the planets, all the nations and unto all humanity and creation. Hiskingdom and power have neither beginning nor end. His kingship in not ordinary, or man-made

and therefore is unshakable and irresistible. May God bless His Holy Words. AMEN.

THANK YOU HOLY FATHER.

2. I AM NOT GOD BUT OLUMBA OLUMBA OBUFIRST BIBLE LESSON: REVELATION 11:15

"And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of

this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of His Christ; and He shall reign forever and

ever."

SECOND BIBLE LESSON: 1 CORINTHIANS 15:28

"And when all things shall be subdued unto Him, then shall the Son also himself be subject

unto Him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all."


"And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men,

and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be with

them, and be their God."

Brethren the Word of God is not something that can be revealed through human wisdom or to be

interpreted by the wisdom of this world. It is not something that is written down on papers. It has

been fixed from the foundation of the world. If you subtract or add to it you make yourself a

confusionist, and must suffer the penalty.

It is an undisputable fact that no one hates Brotherhood. The problem is that you members ofBrotherhood do not abide by the Word of God you are given from day to day. You have left what

you should do, and gone to do what you are supposed not to do.

This is where the confusion lies. For you to say that a man is God, or that Olumba Olumba Obu is

God, puts you out of gear. God has been doing his work by Himself from the beginning of creation.

Adam, Moses, Abraham or Christ did not say that they were God. Even Jesus Christ simply said

that He was the Son sent by the Father. Now God has come by Himself to do His will, and exalt His

glory.

There is no doubt that the Son is also with all the hosts of heaven. In accordance with God's divinepurpose that, at the fullness of time, He will make His dwelling among men, He has now come to

dwell with you. It is foolishness to keep waiting for the Son of God in the sky or in the clouds; for

this is not the time for son, angel or prophets. But it is the time for God to manifest His multifarious

glory to mankind. All the children of God are here. It is time for all glories, gratitude, praises and

thanks to be given to God direct; for He is here to manifest His will on earth.


22/57

You are all witnesses. The entire world is my witness, even the angels, that I have never said that I

am God; and that I have never denied that it is the Father who is doing all the work being done on

earth today.

In ages past, the Father was still the one who was doing His work through intermediaries. But theseindividuals were given the praises instead of God. Now at the fullness of time, God has come in

person to receive all praises, honors, and thanks that are due Him. Moses confessed that he was not

the one doing these works in his days. But his brothers attributed all glories to him. The same with

Jesus the Christ. He used to proclaim: "I can do nothing of my own will; for I do not do my will

but the will of him that sent me". (John 5:30). Yet the followers gave the glory to Jesus Christ.

FOR THIS REASON GOD HAS COME TO RECEIVE THE GLORIES DUE HIM

BEFORE THE WORLD WAS.

God had sent angels and prophets to do these works. They were unable. He finally sent His Son.

They held Him as the heir, and killed Him. Whom do you think then that the Father will send? Henow comes by Himself as the owner of the vineyard. For now the question is: what will the owner

of the vineyard do to those who killed His Son, the heir? Read Matthew chapter twenty-one. He

did not promise to send the Son again; but to come Himself after this. This generation is very

fortunate to see the day that God has come down personally to receive His glories and honors.

It is true that the visioners have been able to see that Christ is now on earth. But have they been

able to see the parousia of the one who created the heavens and the earth? This great personality

has come to make His dwelling place among men. It is said that the one to govern will govern with

an Iron Rod and that the government will take control over the earth. This is the Father's

government in power.

Although people must have had the belief that God does all things, this is not enough; because the

glories and honours were not given to God but to intermediaries. Take up your Bible. Refer to all

publications. Take a cursory glance at the world today. See the rulers and the governments of

mankind, and you will be convinced that the Bible is inspired, and not the work of any human

imagination. Worldly wisdom or technical know-how does not come in here. This government is

Theocratic. Therefore for you to tell people that Leader Olumba Olumba Obu is God, you have

automatically made God to be a man. That is why people suspect that there is some hidden power

underneath in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. For, according to them, Jesus Christ who was the

son of God came and died; and had at no time spoken in the first person. But here is Leader

Olumba Olumba Obu, an ordinary human being they know, and you say he is God. What will

happen if he dies? What will happen to Brotherhood of the Cross and Star? Who will be able to

step in and do his works? These and many other flipping questions are presented to the world by

the people of the world.

In fact they will go as far as saying that Moses came with some powers, but he died. They will

mention quite a number of great men who trod this earth but died; and they will ask you whether


23/57

Leader Olumba Olumba Obu will never die. Because if he dies, his followers will be subjected to

greater sufferings, since there will be no one to lead them and perform the mighty works now seen

in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star.

From day to day you are forced to answer them what you feel is correct because you are

responsible for these questions. You do not abide by the truth preached to you. You show lack of

faith in God. Have I ever told you that this power is mine; or that I have any power of my own?

Have I ever told you that I even exist at all? Moses and others who came were powerful people.

Jesus the Christ was powerful. But all I know is that now, the God who created the heavens and the

earth has come down to make His dwelling among mankind. He is the one doing all these works,

and not myself.

In the time of Moses you will remember that there was power by the use of the Ark of the

Covenant, and the use of the Staff.

There was the burning of incense and lighting of candles. Have you ever seen me using a Staff,

burning incense, lighting candles, drawing circles, using consecrated handkerchiefs, holding a

wooden or metal cross or the like?

This is not the time for incantations. IN THE TIME OF JESUS THE CHRIST HE MOVED

FROM PLACE TO PLACE. He preached openly in marketplaces. He would speak, and the

dead would rise. He at times would touch the blind, and the blind would receive their sight.

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ME MOVING FROM ONE PLACE TO

ANOTHER,OR EVEN PRAYING FOR THE SICK, OR TOUCHING THEINFIRM TO GET WELL?But many of these dead ones today have come back to life. Theblind ones are daily receiving their sight; and even greater works are going on without a word.

WHO THEN IS DOING ALL THESE WORKS? IS THIS NOT CLEAR EVIDENCE

THAT THE OWNER OF THE VINEYARD HAS ARRIVED? GIVE GLORY TO THE

FATHER, FOR HE IS HERE HIMSELF DOING HIS WORKS. When you talk of powerful

works, you may mention Lazarus who died for four days, and was brought back to life by Jesus.

Jesus had to go to the grave, and pray tearfully, before Lazarus came back to life. Jesus Himself

died only to come back to life after three days. But today we have seen something more significant,

something more striking. We have seen someone dead, and come back to life after seven days. Theraising of the dead is a hobby in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star.

These great works are accomplished without a word or formalities. These are clear evidences that

the Father is now here doing His works. Just fancy the number of insane persons that are brought

here. No physical treatment is given to them; and in fact, all they do is remain here; and when their

time is come, they go home completely healed. And what about your personal problems and

difficulties? Do you not witness how they are overcome without the assistance of anyone? Does


24/57

this not prove to you that these works are not done by any human being but by God Himself? Why

not give the credit to God; or does God not merit this glory?

This is where the world is confused when you tell them that Leader O. O. Obu is God, and thatLeader O. O. Obu is the one doing all these works. Do you not see how confused they are? FOR

THEY LOOK AROUND, AND AT NO TIME DO THEY SEE LEADER O. O.

OBU MOVING FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER. HOW THEN DOES

HE PERFORM THESE THINGS?May be there is some hidden thing underneath; theysuspect, and give it a name.

Many of you have been members of some secret societies. You have been members of different

religious organizations. Did you ever see your leaders appearing to you physically, in dreams

or otherwise? Did they take away your problems at your mere sight of them? Did you see

them speaking just a word, and it takes effect at once?

Brethren, I must tell you that the work you see here is not done by any man, angel or prophet, or

even by the Son; but it is the Father who is at work now.

I would like to recall to your mind the great works done by Moses and others. Moses used the staff

before Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and demonstrated some sorts of powers. Jesus Christ came and

brought many dead people back to life. But how many people were converted for God? How

many were changed from their former ways of life? But today you have been transformed,

and given a new personality in accordance with the Divine Will. Is Obu the one that has

changed you to be what you are?

I had publicly told you that I have never been a member of any church or society. I have never

received any education of this world except as a child. The works you now witness in

Brotherhood are done by the Father; and all thanks and praises, glory and honour must be

given to God the Father for His benevolence (JOHN 14:10).I have no power of my own. I do

not read from any book of this worldly system of things. Take it from me that God is the one doing

the things now on earth according to His promise. Some of you who have children do discipline

them to mold them up in a good way. But in your case who disciplines you here? Who suspends

you here in order to become useful vessels unto God?

Have you ever seen anyone suspended in Brotherhood? THIS IS ANOTHER EVIDENCETHAT GOD HAS COME DOWN PERSONALLY TO CHANGE HIS CHILDREN, AND

RECONCILE THEM TO HIMSELF. To be candid, God is the one who instigates the world to

ask you all these questions about the power in Brotherhood. Because He is a Jealous God, He does

not want His glory to be given to any other; for He deserves exclusive honor. For although the

people may believe what is done here in Brotherhood, the mere fact that you say that this work is

done by a man, makes it become fantastic.


25/57

FIRST BIBLE LESSON: REVELATION 11:15:

"And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of

this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of His Christ; and He shall reign for ever and

ever."

Where then are the wise men? Where then are the debaters of the fact? God has made the wisdom

of this world to perish. Only God's wisdom rules supreme. God is here to rule; and so He has

maneuvered the kingdoms of this world to become His and that of His Christ, and He must rule

forever and ever. Therefore, if you had regarded yourself as a wise person, please become a fool so

that you may become wise. (1Cor 3:18). In the world today you cannot see any stable government.

The same with schools, industries, universities, and other establishments. Industrial actions are theorder of the day. Boycotting of classes is the drill of the students. Unrest, hatred, confusion and

chaos are everywhere.

This is so because this is a transitional period, a time for handing over the kingdoms of this world

to God. For this reason Jesus the Christ said:"You have heard that I said to you, I am going

away and I am coming back to you. If you loved me you would rejoice that I am." (John

14:28). When a person is sent to a strange land on an errand, he is honored in view of the person

that sent him. But when the person that sent him accompanies him to that very place, he who was

formerly sent there is no more given the honor. The Master, who was, now receives the honor.

The prophets came and were honored. The angels came and received their honor and praises. The

Son came and was glorified. BUT NOW THE FATHER IS HERE WITH ALL THOSE HE

SENT BEFORE.THEREFORE ALL GLORIES AND HONOUR NO MORE GO TO

ANYONE OF THOSE SENT, BUT TO THE FATHER WHO IS THE OWNER OF THE

VINEYARD.

I am speaking boldly before the angels, prophets, all the children of God, and the entire world that

the works that are done in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, and the entire world are not

performed by any man or angel or prophet, but by the Father Himself; and wherever you are in this

world, you will feel the impact of His power. You have every reason to sing and rejoice because

God's dwelling is now with man.

Do you know that some of you are angels, some are prophets, children of God and apostles? This

notwithstanding, the Father does the work by Himself. From today, after hearing this gospel, never

repeat the mistake to say that Leader O. O. Obu is the one doing these works; otherwise you are a

stumbling block to others. JESUS CHRIST PREACHED AND PERFORMED MIRACLES.

WAS THAT SUFFICIENT TO TURN THE WORLD OF MANKIND TO GOD?


26/57

THERE IS NO OTHER FORCE THAT DOES THIS. THE FACT IS THAT CHRIST IS HERE

IN BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR. THE ANGELS ARE HERE. THE

PROPHETS ARE HERE. ALL THE CHILDREN OF GOD ARE HERE; AND THECREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH IS HERE IN BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS

AND STAR. Make no mistake to say that Leader O. O. Obu is the one doing these works in the

world, otherwise you blaspheme against God by taking Him to be a mere man. Read through the

publications here in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. You will never see where I proclaim

myself to be God; or have I told you I am educated?

I HAVE NEVER ATTENDED ANY SCHOOL OF LEARNING OR ANY THEOLOGICAL

SEMINARY TO QUALIFY EVEN AS A PREACHER. BUT ALL I SAY IS THIS: "THAT

THE FATHER WHO IS GOD IS THE ONE DOING THESE WORKS."BUT HOW ELSE

CAN I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?

Go to all parts of the world. You will see the children of God serving God. Have you ever seen me

in those places? Or does God not merit this glory? Or do you not know that all thanks and glory

must be given to Him now? There is no pastor or prophet or any man on earth that should be given

the glory due to God.

ANYONE WHO RECEIVES THE GLORY DUE TO GOD IS A BLASPHEMER. I HAVE

NOT HIDDEN ANYTHING FROM YOU; BUTI HAVE SPOKEN TO YOU PUBLICLY

AND PRIVATELY THAT THE FATHER IS THE ONE DOING THESE WORKS.HE IS

THE ONE THAT PRAYS, SINGS, PREACHES, AND PERFORMS ALL THEWONDROUS WORKS NOW ON EARTH. THINK OF IT.If a person does not have even a

single kobo (penny); and people go about saying that he is a millionaire, is that not mockery

and a very shameful thing? Likewise when you say that Leader O. O. Obu has power, and

that he is the one doing these works, you are making yourself a liar. I am grateful to God

that I have never at any time told you that I am the one doing these works. I have at all times

attributed all glory to the Father. Let the second Bible lesson be read.

SECOND BIBLE LESSON: 1 CORINTHIANS 15:28.

"And when all things shall be subdued unto Him, then shall the Son also be subject unto

Him that put all things under Him, that God may be all in all."

IT IS TRUE THAT GOD SUBJECTED EVERYTHING TO CHRIST. BUT NOW CHRIST

MUST SUBJECT EVERYTHING TO THE FATHER SO THAT THE FATHER MAY BE

ALL THINGS, AND DO ALL THINGS. NOW IS THE FULLNESS OF TIME. NOW IS

THE TIME FOR THE GLORY TO BE GIVEN TO THE FATHER SINCE JESUS

CHRIST HAS NOW SUBJECTED ALL THINGS TO HIM. IF YOU SAY THAT ALL

THINGS ARE DONE BY THE FATHER, IT MEANS THAT THE SON, THE ANGELS


27/57

AND THE CHILDREN OF GOD ARE INCLUSIVE. BUT IF YOU SAY YOU ARE THE

ONE DOING THE WORK, OR THAT THE WORK IS EITHER DONE BY THE SON OR

THE ANGELS, YOU HAVE DISGRACED GOD.

Where then is God? And where were you when the Son was sent? Did you not hear the Son crying

with a loud voice on the cross, saying: "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" That is

why the worldly people say that there must be something hidden underneath in Brotherhood.

Why? Because even Jesus, the Son of God, came and died; and at times when they plot against

you, and fail woefully, they wonder what force should have overcome their plot. Or when in your

place of work a termination paper is made for you, but later turns out to be your promotion, they

become blood-stilled. Or even when they spend sleepless nights planning evil against you, and you

are enjoying an undisturbed sleep, they wonder. These and many other surprises give the world

food for thought, that there must be something underneath here in Brotherhood. Are these

evidences not enough for you to give glory to God?

If in your office you are promoted, and you attributed the promotion to God by saying: "I thank

God for promoting me, "your boss will be mad at you, and may most likely withdraw your

promotion because you do not give him the glory. IF I HAD NOT TOLD YOU THIS THING

THEN YOU WOULD BE CORRECT TO SAY THAT I AM THE ONE DOING THE

WORK, BUT NOW THAT I HAVE TOLD YOU THAT GOD IS THE ONE DOING ALL

THE WORKS, YOU ARE INEXCUSABLE. THEREFORE ANYONE SAYING THAT

LEADER OBU IS THE ONE DOING THE WORK IS A LIAR, AND IF LEADER OBU

SAYS HE IS THE ONE DOING THESE WORKS, IT IS FALSE. GOD FORBID! I HAVE

NEVER SAID SO, BUT RATHER THAT ALL PRAISES AND GLORY SHOULD BEGIVEN TO GOD THE FATHER THE DOER OF THESE THINGS. ALL THAT YOU DO

HERE, WHETHER YOU KNEEL DOWN, KNOCK YOUR FOREHEADS ON THE

GROUND, OR ADDRESS A LETTER TO ME, YOU ARE IN FACT DOING THESE

THINGS NOT TO ME BUT TO GOD THE FATHER.

Brethren, I have examined myself very well. I do not have any power of my own. I have no

wisdom of my own. I am not a preacher neither am I the doer of anything. YOU MUST KNOW

THAT EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE GODS, YOU ARE NOT GOD. AND ALTHOUGH

YOU ARE SONS, YOU ARE NOT THE SON. YOU MUST KNOW THAT THIS IS THE

TIME TO GIVE GOD HIS DUE GLORY. DO NOT SEEK ANY GLORY AGAIN

BECAUSE THE ONE THAT HAS THE LEGAL RIGHT HAS COME TO RULE.

Those who charge money for the powerful works they perform do so because they perceive that

power belongs to them. This is false. ALL OF YOU ARE GOD'S VESSELS AND TOOLS.

THEREFORE GIVE GLORY TO GOD IN ALL THAT HE DOES FROM DAY TO DAY.

BRETHREN, PUT THIS GOSPEL INTO PRACTICE BECAUSE THE SON HAS

SURRENDERED ALL THINGS TO THE FATHER, AND THE FATHER HAS BECOME ALL


28/57

THINGS.

TO CALL ME A LEADER IS CORRECT BECAUSE GOD HAS PROVIDED A LIVING

EXAMPLE FOR YOU IN ME IN ORDER TO LEAD YOU TO GOD'S KINGDOM. THEQUALITIES YOU SEE IN ME ARE FOR YOU TO EMULATE.BUT TO CALL ME GOD,

NO PLEASE, I AM NOT THE ONE. THE REASON I DO NOT WORRY MYSELF TO

MOVE FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER TO PREACH IS BECAUSE THE FATHER

IS HERE, AND ALL THINGS HAVE BEEN SUBJECTED TO HIM, AND HE IS THE

ONE DOING ALL THINGS. HE IS THE ONE TO RECONCILE THE WHOLE WORLD TO

HIMSELF. UNDER HIM I AM FREE, JUST AS YOU ARE.

All gifts that you receive are from Him; and all that you give out are also from Him. I have

taught you all these things. I have given you this truth that God is the one you must worship;

and all glory must be given to Him direct, and not to any man.

God who is now on earth has instructed us to love one another just as He loves us. You must

obey His voice. We must love Him because He loves us, and calls us His children. Our being

gods is also because He wishes us to be thus, all to His glory. Today He has informed us that

all things have been subjected to Him, and that all glory should be given to Him. God has

come down to rule this world for eternity. Go and tell the world that Christ, angels, prophets,

and the children of God are here to witness the rule of God over the universe. God's words never go

unfulfilled.

It was prophesied that a virgin will conceive and bear a male child. This was so. (Isa 7:14).Another prophesy had it that a woman will conceive and bear a male child, and that this child will

rule the whole world (Isa 9:6) with an iron rod (Rev 12:5). This has also been fulfilled.

Another prophesy said that God will, at His appointed time, make His dwelling among men (Lev

26:11-12). Today, this prophesy is fulfilled. (Rev 21:3). "God is here now to take control over

all things. Give glory to God, the Father, always."

When Jesus Christ was on the Cross He cried with a loud voice: "My God, my God, why hast

thou forsaken me?" (Matt 27:46 / Mark 15:34). If God did not get out from Him, He would not

have been killed. SO TODAY THAT GOD HAS COME TO DWELL WITH YOU. WHAT

CAN A MAN DO TO YOU?Why do you panic and fear? You have maximum protection,

security and satisfaction. For ages now man has tried by his own efforts to forsake sin. But he has

been unable. But now God has come to change people, and sanctify them for Himself. Let all those

who do not believe in the existence of God weep; for they must see God in His full glory and

majesty now. May we hear the golden text.


29/57


"And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men,

and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be with

them, and be their God."

Has this statement not come to pass in this generation? Does this refer to angels, prophets or the

Son? Never! IT REFERS TO THE FATHER, GOD.HE IS THE ONE TO DWELL WITH

MEN. When we talk of Brotherhood we are referring to the heavens and the earth and the

universe.

Today the talk of the town is that Brotherhood of the Cross and Star has subdued all forces and

powers in the world; a clear evidence that God has taken control over all things. YES, FORYEARS THE LITTLE SALT GIVEN YOU WAS INSUFFICIENT FOR YOUR MEAL.

THIS WAS SO IN TERMS OF POWER OF THE ANGELS, PROPHETS AND EVEN,

THE SON. BUT NOW THE SOURCE OF ALL DYNAMIC POWERS HAS ARRIVED.

ALL THINGS ANIMATE AND INANIMATE, SEEN AND UNSEEN MUST SUBMIT TO

THE SUPREME BEING, THE GUEST OF THE TIME.ALL KINGDOMS,

RULERSHIP, ALL POWERS AND AUTHORITIES MUST BOW TO THIS

GREAT RULER, THE ALMIGHTY GOD.

YOUR FOREMOST RESPONSIBILITY IS TO BELIEVE THAT GOD IS HERE ON

EARTH; and that the Son, the angels and the prophets and all the children of God are hereto provide all things for you. He has come to reveal His son to the world. He has come to

reveal all His children to the world, and to receive the honor and glory due Him before the

World was.

You may not be blamed, in a sense, because when a sick man is cured he gives glory to the native

doctor. But only a foolish doctor will accept or receive such glory. Of course, if he receives the

glory for having cured someone, and then another sick person is brought, and he is unable to cure

him or he dies, then he is a liar. You must be very careful so that you do not receive the glory due

to God; because God requires an exclusive honor.

Very soon you will see a child of two raising the dead, or even a robber doing some powerful

work.You will look for a sign but you will be led astray because you do not believe in the

presence of God. It is because of lack of faith and unbelief by some people that God is the

One doing this work.That makes them wander from place to place, from one prophet to

another, and from one pastor to another; and if they are healed, they attribute such healing

to either the prophet or the pastor.


30/57

Sometimes you may see a sick person who was taken to the hospital, and he recovers; and because

of your lack of faith, you doubt God's presence; and when you are sick you would want to be

admitted into the hospital, but you may die there. It is true that God is everywhere. But you

must acknowledge His presence, and capability of doing all things. He is a Spirit. He is in meand in you and in all things. What is impossible with men is possible with God. We should

worship Him in spirit and in truth as the only Creator of all things.

*THOSE WHO SPEND THEIR TIME TO THINK OF A SUCCESSOR TOLEADER OBU WHEN HE DIES ARE VERY UNREASONABLE PEOPLE.AND THOSE WHO ARE OUTSIDE, AND ARE TRYING TO SEE THE END OF

LEADER OBU SO THAT BROTHERHOOD MAY CEASE TO FUNCTION, ARE ALSO

VERY, VERY UNREASONABLE.Is the work in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star done by the

leader? Whether I am here or not; one thing stands out. These works will continue because the doer

is here by Himself; and He is God, the Father.(John 14:10-12)

Many of you have been stricken with fear when you hear that you will no more see the

Leader. That is to put faith in you. When you see before you believe; that is not faith. (John

20:29). Faith is the assured expectation of things hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities

though not beheld (Hebrews 11:1).

It is because of lack of faith that some of you do not attend meetings that the Leader would not

attend, and do not honor any letter or circular that is not signed by the Leader. Blessed are those

who do not see, and yet believe. Believe as from today that God is the one doing these works.

These works are not done by Leader Obu or Olumba Olumba Obu or O.O.O. God is the one who

created this O.O.O., and that God is the one doing His works now in the universe. I give glory to

God who has come to rule the world. Therefore all that you do, whether in songs, prayer and

worship, do them to God. Do not worship man, do not give glory to man. Do not enslave man.

Worship God, and give Him glory; for He is now on earth.

Some of you have seen God face to face; but you are still doubting in your minds. Do not

keep your eyes on the things you see but rather on the things unseen; for the things seen are

temporary, but the things unseen are everlasting (2nd Corinth 4:18). Some of you get worried

when you are not able to see the Leader. Does it mean that God does not see you? Put not your trustin princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. O.O.Obu is a man like you are, but God

is God forever. O.O.Obu can go anywhere just as you can, but God is omnipresent.

Go and tell the world that you made a mistake when you told them that the work done here in

Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is performed by a man. Because what you see here and what you

have heard done here is not anything that can be done by man, angel, prophet or the Son. Tell them


31/57

that God has come to dwell with men, and that God is the One doing all these things.

If you say that a man is the one doing these things, then it is like saying that God lives in a building.

But is God so small as to live in a building? NOT AT ALL! GOD REMAINS FAITHFUL ANDTRUE TO HIS PROMISES, although man may stumble and fall. There is only one God that

controls the universe. There is no division. There is neither male nor female, young or old. All are

in union with the Lord. All were created by this one God that controls the universe; and today His

tabernacle is here with His creatures, to dwell with them, and be their God forever.

Brethren, those who have ears to hear, let them hear. May God bless His Holy Word.

THANK YOU HOLY FATHER

3. THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE GREATEST GIFT OF GOD

FIRST BIBLE LESSON: MATTHEW 7:7

"Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto

you:"

SECOND BIBLE LESSON: ACTS 4:29-31

"And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all

boldness they may speak thy word. By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs

and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus. And when they had prayed,

the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the

Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness."

GOLDEN TEXT: JAMES 1:17

"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of

lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning."

Brethren, we are going to introduce the theme of this wonderful and inspiring sermon with the

following choruses:

1. The Holy Spirit is now on earth, let my people shout: Amen - Amen. Hallelujah.

2. The Holy Spirit is life, He is the root of life for the children of God.

3. Seek ye first the kingdom of the Lord and all other things shall be added to you.

Our Lord Jesus Christ has already left these spoken words before his departure. He said:

"Nevertheless, I tell you the truth, it is for your good that I go away, for if I go not away, the

Comforter will not come unto you, but if I depart, I will send Him unto you." (John 16:7) So

you realize that our Lord Jesus Christ bore testimony to this glory. He told them, "If you love me,you would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father, for my Father is greater than I."

(John 14:28).

Since that Comforter, the Counselor, the Holy Spirit has arrived, it does not call for much

preaching, you only need to be told things in clear terms. THEREFORE, MY DUTY, YOUR

DUTY AND THE DUTY OF ALL THE INHABITANTS OF THE WORLD IS TO SING


33/57

SONGS OF PRAISES, DANCE AND REJOICE BECAUSE WE ARE SAVED. We just want

to scratch the periphery and show to you what is expected of you.

This week that has just passed, the Pastor's Week, is very powerful indeed. Because the things theFather has revealed during the week had never before been revealed. Now you have heard what the

scripture has told you, that is: "ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock,

and it shall be opened unto you." But when you stand up, you close your eyes and bring your

palms together and pray, Oh God give me a child, a husband, a motor vehicle, or money. Are those

the things you are expected to ask for? These are not the things you are expected to ask for, because

these are the material things of the world.

MUNDANE THINGS LEAD TO DEATH

Neither should you pray for money. Just go out and you will see somebody carrying a heavy load,help the person out and at the end of the exercise, he will give you some of the money you have

been praying for. If you go to somebody's premises and you find it is overgrown with weeds, get

your machete clean the whole thing and at the end of the exercise you will find that money will be

given to you. Help somebody fetch water, break firewood, and clean his environment, and money

will be given to you without your praying for it. These are not the things we are referring to. These

are mundane things and they lead unto death. What we are going to talk about is what you are

expected to ask for. It is exactly the theme of our sermon today.

ASK FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT

Can you see the arrangement? You are told to ask, knock and all these things shall be given to you.

(Matt 7:7) What then are you expected to request or pray for? It is the Holy Spirit. Recall what the

disciples did, when the chief Priest and Elders threatened them not to preach in the name of our

Lord Jesus Christ. They gathered together and prayed, "And now, Lord behold their threatenings;

and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word, by stretching forth

thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of the Holy child Jesus.

And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they

were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spoke the word of God with boldness." (Acts 4:29-31)

Right from that period, they feared nobody. They entered into the streets and lanes of the city and

into all places and preached the gospel of God without fear. This is exactly what you are told to

request for. The Holy Spirit is what you are expected to ask for from God and He will give unto

you. The Holy Spirit is the greatest of all gifts.

THE HOLY SPIRIT IS EVERYTHING TO EVERY MAN

And that was not the end of it all. They prayed for the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit descended

on them. "THE MULTITUDE OF THEM THAT BELIEVED WERE OF ONE HEART


34/57

AND OF ONE SOUL. NEITHER SAID ANY OF THEM THAT OUGHT OF THE

THINGS WHICH POSSESSED WAS HIS OWN, BUT THEY HAD ALL THINGS IN

COMMON." (Acts 4:32) Brethren, you can see the situation clearly, that even if somebody has

money would not want to part with any kobo. But he will rather desire to collect more from others.When you pray, God give me money, so that I will use same to do your work, the question is, those

to whom God has given millions and billions and trillions what have they done with all this

money? You may have the money in abundance and yet you die of hunger, you abandon the money

and would not want to make use of it. Money is carnal and cannot help you out in anything.

As the Heavens are higher than the earth so is the wisdom of God higher than the wisdom of man.

(Isaiah 55:9). Tree, man, fish, money and all things you find around you are just one. No matter

how populated a place is, that does not serve any useful purpose. No matter what you think you

possess, those things do not come into estimation. What matters is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit

is life, the Holy Spirit is love, peace, joy, wealth, good health. He is patience, humility, self-controland other virtues. The Holy Spirit is everything to every man. The Holy Spirit is the greatest gift

that man can ever receive.

Brethren, I want to do a little arithmetic for you. "God give me life," that is one of your requests.

"God give me health," that is another request, "God give me a wife," that is yet another request,

"God give me a child" is yet another request. "God give me money so that I may take care of the

children." Do you know what you have asked God? What you have asked of God, (all these

things), increase your sorrow. I want to prove to you as one proves the theorems in geometry and

algebra.

Now, let us examine your first request. You prayed God to give you long life, and He has given it

to you. When you look around, you find that your age-mates are all dead. You are left alone with

no association. Your teeth are all gone, your hair has gone gray, you can no longer see clearly.

Your limbs are weak, you cannot walk. You cannot do anything. You cannot even control the loin

cloth on your waist. You become stationary, and cannot pass urine. Some people even turn around

to pray, "God instead of suffering like this in life, instead of living this kind of life, please take my

life and let me rest. I tell you that the suffering an old man has endured, somebody who had asked

God for a long life, cannot be compared to that which Satan himself has suffered.

All the evil things done by your brothers are referred to you. All the evil things done by your

family are referred to you. All the evil things done by your ward, your village are referred to you.

All the evil things done by your community are referred to you. Whatever evil is done around that

vicinity, is referred to you. Everybody calls on you for whatever has happened. You do not have

any rest at all, because you are to answer for whatever happens to your age-mates, your brothers or

sisters. These are things you suffer. When you ask God for long life, you are to face these

calamities.


35/57

DISADVANTAGES OF GOOD HEALTH

Let us examine another request of yours. You ask God to give you good health, good and fine. But

around you is a brother who is sick and another brother who is also sick. One has a court case and

another is afflicted, in addition to other numerous problems around you. Since you have good

health, you have to attend to the sick, those with court cases, the afflicted and all those who are

troubled. You had asked God for good health and you are to minister unto those who need your

help. What then is the usefulness of good health if you cannot sit down in one place? What is the

usefulness of a "restless" good health?

OF WHAT PROFIT IS A WIFE AND CHILDREN

In Akwa Ibom State, if you go to somebody's house and maybe asked a little child, where is your

father and he tells you, 'oh, my father has gone out to buy trouble,' that means his father has gone to

marry. The moment you marry you have invited all forms of trouble to yourself. Here you were as

quiet and calm as possible. The moment a woman comes into your life you will be forced to talk.

All forms of trouble must come to you. You have to change your former way of life. You will be

forced out of your concealment. This is the wife you had wanted. Is this not a situation whereby

"trouble de sleep, yanga go wakaam?" As if the trouble of having a wife in the house is not

sufficient, later if your wife gives birth to a child thereby increasing your problems. When a child

comes, you know what it means. The troubles you have to take to wean a child and care for him in

addition to other prevalent problems, your child constitute yet another set of problem and you haveother problems here and there to attend to. What sort of life will you be living? This is exactly what

you encounter when you are praying God to give you a wife and children.

THE BURDEN OF POSSESSING

God give me money and the money comes. You have become a storekeeper for every Tom, Dick,

and Harry. This is another problem you have created for yourself. Because everybody around will

come to you for money. This brother will come asking you for money, if you do not give him, he

will start abusing you. Another one will come telling you. "Aha, you have given to the other

brother, why do you not give to me? Another person will come asking you for money, and if you

refuse giving him, he will look for ways of charming and hurting you. Troubles will come from left

and right, since you have money. You will no longer be free to move around because the money is

there. Armed robbers will visit you, all kinds of things will come to you because you want money.

Your family will be calling on you. At every launching you will be called upon to launch and

finally you will even hide never to be seen again. Just as we have launching here and some people

are hiding, because the money is there, but they do not want to spend it. Now tell me what useful

purpose it serves when you begin to ask for money and is given to you. You have asked for money


36/57

and this is the money. You are a storekeeper, use it as it is supposed to be used. All these things do

not give you peace, do not give you love, do not give faith, hope, patience, none of the virtues of

the Holy Spirit is derivable from these mundane things you are requesting for, rather they bestow

upon you tribulation and death.

THE HOLY SPIRIT BRINGS YOU FREEDOM

Now the whole world can be compared to a stagnant water which does not move to any direction;

it is stationary. The inhabitants of the world are complex. The troubles and tribulations of men are

numerous. They are found within. The sons of men are gluttonous and insatiable. No matter how

much money is paid to somebody it is not enough for him. That is why you find robbers, and

thieves, swindlers and extortionists everywhere. Because nobody knows what to do again. The

problems of men have become numerous.

That is why you are to ask, seek and knock. All things belong to you, whether it be money or men

or wealth of any kind and these things are carnal. BUT WHAT YOU ARE EXPECTED TO

ASK FOR IS THE HOLY SPIRIT, WHICH IS THE EMBODIMENT OF EVERYTHING,

YOU HAVE EVERYTHING AND YOU ARE FREE, FREE INDEED.

THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE GIFT THAT COMES FROM GOD.

When you ask God for children, from where do you want Him to give you children? He has only

the Holy Spirit. If you want children, find a woman and impregnate her and she will give you a

child. If you want money, mint money. Those things are found around you that are carnal, they aremundane. You can always find them when you want them. What God gives to you is the Holy

Spirit.

I often hear people say God loves me so much, He has given me money, He has given me children.

The question is, do you possess the Holy Spirit? If you are devoid of the Holy Spirit, what do those

things mean to you? Do they not tantamount to death? Brethren, let the first lesson be read.

FIRST BIBLE LESSON: MATTHEW: 7:7

"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and Ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto

you."

THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE KEY TO ALL THINGS

Brethren, have you heard that? God, after creating the world, did hand over the rulership of

everything to man. You can see that as the heavens are higher than the earth, so is the wisdom of

God higher than the wisdom of men. (Isaiah 55:9) After creating the world, He kept the key that


37/57

opens everything and appointed man as the overseer. THAT KEY WAS THE HOLY SPIRIT.

IF HE WERE TO BESTOW THE HOLY SPIRIT ON MAN, MAN WOULD HAVE

POSSESSED THE QUALITIES OF GOD. There would not have been any death, nor suffering

for man. Man would have possessed all virtues. GOD KEPT BACK THE HOLY SPIRIT, THEKEY TO ALL THINGS. That is why man is beclouded with problems and suffering. Nobody

knows exactly what to do in order to become problem-free and liberated. TO THAT EFFECT,

THIS KEY HAS BEEN GIVEN
