First Bible Lesson: I Corinthians 15:26
"The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death."
Second Bible Lesson: I Corinthians 6:13
"Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall
destroy both it and them."
Golden Text: Philippians 3:18-19
"For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell
you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose
glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things."
I have told you before that I have not yet opened my bag
containing the article of trade I have brought to the whole world. What I
have tried to do so far, is to introduce the Father to you. From day to
day, and as time goes on, I will continue to unfold to you the shortcomings and
hindrances in your lives.
Food Kills
Today's sermon concerns food, and the art of feeding, the evil of
food, and food as the source of destruction. The last enemy is death. What is
death? Is man death? Is death spirit or tree or any other thing? What do you
consider to be death? You have heard what the second lesson says: Meats for the
belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Food
is that death referred to. Food makes you sick, it makes you angry,
and it kills the spirit in you. Food is death and it is responsible for all the
evil things in you.
What God Prescribed For Man As Food
All those who desire to have eternal life have started to live
according to the will of God. What did God prescribe for man to live on?
Read: Genesis 1:29: And God said, "Behold, I have given you
every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every
tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for
meat."
God commanded that man should freely eat of every fruit of the
trees of the Garden. But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil man
should not eat of it: for in the day man eats thereof he shall surely die. (Gen
2:17).The enemy of life is food. Food makes you sick; it kills. Food brings
about high blood pressure, diabetes and other forms of incurable diseases. You
complain of charms, mermaid and bewitchment. These are not true. You are affected
by the food you eat. You may grow fat but what does it all mean? Your fatness
leads to death. Food is the sting of death. When you prepare all forms
of diet for yourself, they destroy your spirit, soul and body.
The Evil Connected With Food
If I should now expatiate on the evils of food, I will not exhaust
the topic for ten years. But I only want to give an introductory part of what
you call a new doctrine. I have dealt on this issue on many occasions but you
do not seem to be bothered about it. We are now staging a go-back to the
Garden of Eden. Have you not heard what had been read out to you? All herb
bearing seed and all fruit of a tree yielding seed, shall be your meat. This
does not imply a system of feeding but a form of medication. Just as one will
seek a cure for an ailment, you can suck one orange and drink a cup of
water and that will serve you for a day. The next day whenever you feel like
taking anything, you can take just one banana and drink water and that should
satisfy you. That is how you should live. Take fruits as a cure for an
ailment and not what you eat sumptuously. There and then you will feel the
pulse and the invigorating power of God in you. You will have no pains, no
sickness. Age will not tell much on you, and no problems will beset you.
All along we have been gallivanting around, seeking for life. Is
this not the very source of life that we neglect? That is why we are looking
for a virgin land of our own. There, we will establish an orchard where fruit
trees of all types, oranges, mangoes, banana, guava, paw paw, coconut, apple
and other fruits will be planted. Fruits should be taken in very small
quantities. There, many will stay without being hungry. When you take a little
fruit as a cure, that is sufficient for you. When you look at yourself, you
find that you are very fat and robust, you will feel it is a sign of
good-health. It is rather poisonous, and extra burden, death, and sickness.
When you think yourself fat, you do not even realize that your sicknesses are
innumerable. You complain of pain around your waist, a strange object moving in
your head. Is it not the food you eat which is responsible. Is it not the food
that you eat which has constituted this problem?
The Belly Is The God Of The Gluttonous Person
The body is the house of God and not the house of food. God did not
make the body for food. Can you see the last enemy which will be destroyed? In
consonance with the Scriptures, I have told you often, and now tell you even
weeping, your belly is your god. A local adage says, whatever tastes palatable
in the mouth of a sick man, that he eats and dies. You keep trying and trying
everything. All the things you cook to eat kill the spirit and the life in you.
When the Gospel is preached you cannot even listen. Even when you listen you
cannot assimilate.
There has never been any point in time when God did not abide on
earth with man. It is food which separates you from God. The end to food is
death and destruction. Man should neither drink, nor snuff nor eat any of
the things forbidden by God, because these are poisonous to the body. It is
not given that any one should tamper with the body by rubbing any ointment on
it. The body belongs to the Lord Jesus Christ. God polishes and dwells in it.
You should not introduce anything unnatural to the body. All the things you
inject into your body or rub on your body lead you to destruction. Your body is
the house of God. You ought not to adulterate it in any way. The only food
for the body is for you to practice the Gospel.
You have heard that in those days there shall be no more death. (Rev
21:4). This is only possible on the provision that you keep the injunctions
of God and avoid surfeiting and gluttony, but concentrate on eating of fruits.
When you just start it, you will no longer be hungry neither will you be sick
nor feel weak. There will be no aging. You will rather always swim in youthfulness.
Man Shall Live By The Words Of God
I am taking you step by step. When we started fasting, we started
from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., then to one day dry fasting, then to two days dry
fasting and now to three days. A time will come when we will fast for four
days, or five days and gradually shall we progress. When you receive this
Gospel, you will be satisfied and your problems will all be solved.
You will recall that Satan went to Our Lord Jesus Christ and told
him," If you are the Son of God command that these stones be turned into
bread." (Matt 4:3) What did our Lord Jesus Christ reply? He told
Satan that it had been written,"Man shall not live by bread alone but
by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God." (Luke 4:4) Our Lord
Jesus Christ was referring to this end of time that the word of God will be the
source of life. You will remember when the disciples invited him to eat but
he said, I have meat that you know not of. They began to wonder in their hearts
whether any person had given him food. Since He was God and knew their hearts,
he told them: "My meat is to do the work of My Father who sent Me, and to
finish it." (John 4:34).
Eternal Life Through The Word Of God
If you continue to practice the injunction of loving one another,
of telling no more lies, not exasperating God, how will you become hungry? You
will not thirst. You will neither fall sick and die, nor grow old. The Scriptures
have it that when the word of God dwells richly in your heart, you will have
life. If the Word of God dwells richly in your heart, you will have everlasting
life. This explains why he declared to his disciples, "I am the bread
which came down from heaven and whoever eats of me shall never die." (John
6:51).
You will notice that even here in Brotherhood, there are some
persons who no longer feel hungry; indeed they have no appetite for food. As I
am talking to you now, we have somebody and what remains for him to do is to
stop drinking water. He only eats one banana throughout twenty-four hours a
day. We also have many here in Brotherhood who stay from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily
without any food. After 6 p.m. you find them eating just one banana and until
the next day, they will have no appetite for any food. We have yet another
group of persons who do not eat any cooked food. We have one such person at No.
26, Mbukpa Road, Calabar. It is not for you to keep coming here and yet you put
death into your body by eating virtually everything you find and at the end
when it backfires as sickness and death, you will want to complain of your
problem as a Brotherhood member. Have you not heard that food is death?
God did not make the belly for food. He created us for Himself as
an abode of the Spirit. He did not create us to fornicate with a woman or a man. The
singular reason why He created man was to make his abode in him. When you
observe carefully, it is a common complaint in the world that there are too
many diseases. 99% of the population of the entire world has sickness. Why is
this so? It is because of the indulgence of man in what he does not know.
Food Is The Enemy Of Man
People do not understand that this body had been purchased with
the precious blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ and that the Spirit has come to
dwell in it. If the Holy Spirit dwells in you, you will hunger no more; you
will no longer fall sick nor thirst, nor die. Indeed, you will not have any
problems.
Some may begin to ask, How can one survive without food? Food
does not give life but it rather causes death. The last enemy is food. The
Bible says: "The wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life
in Christ Jesus." (Rom 6:23).You can eat and collapse and die on
the spot. But if you practice the word of God, you will not die. That last
enemy to be destroyed is food. Some people have started to do away with food in
different ways. Many have stayed throughout the year without eating any food.
Why Adam Lived For 930 Years
You have heard and read that Adam lived for 930 years. (Gen
5:5). How was this possible? At that time there was no frying, no roasting,
no baking and no cooking as you do today. He fed on fruits. The same thing
happened to Noah and others who lived long. Since the introduction of food
other than fruit, we now have a shorter life-span. The destruction
besetting man issues from food. Right now, you are preoccupied with the thought
of food. Before coming to worship today, you had been completely filled with
food.
Consider the fact, because Adam had eaten the forbidden fruit he
was driven out of the Garden of Eden. In spite of this, he was able to live for
930 years. How did he do it, even though he had a misunderstanding with God?
When Our Lord Jesus Christ did not yet come to die for us, people lived for 200
to 900 years. But today, after he had shed His Blood, you find people dying in
their youthful ages. Why is sickness rampant now? Why do you not question
yourself why things should be so?
Do you have the least realization to help yourself? The whites,
you say have introduced the use of tea and you demand for stew. These are
poisonous to the body and lead to death. Tell me the real truth. Did you know
that the food you eat is poisonous to your body? It is said, whatever tastes
deliciously in a sick person's mouth, that he must eat till he dies. Have I not
told you that if you are destined to die, you cannot fail eating those foods.
But those predestined for eternal life will begin to comply with the
instructions. Of all the food you eat, have you found any in the Bible except
fruits? If there is anyone of you who is sick or has any problem and begins
from today to live as instructed, his sickness, anger, troubled heart, and
troubles will vanish in no time. You will also begin to hear the voice of God
distinctively. God will equally respond to your calls.
Wear Not Death As A Garment
Life stands aloof when you put on death as a garment. That is why
life runs away from you. You complain that in your dream you see graves,
apparition and other dreadful things. Is it not food that has cost you such
scenes. Is it not the poison you take into you? I want you to experiment right
from today; everything by experimentation. Deny yourself a while of so-called
good-health and delicious food you have been eating. Begin to practice this
Gospel bit by bit, and besides your problems being solved, your eyes will be
opened. Let me tell you that much eating is like taking plenty of liquor. If
you are given to much eating, it will do no good to your body system. Just as
you will be drinking and passing urine, so will you pass the food you eat out
as stool and your belly will return to its former state. It will not do any
good thing for you. The feces passed by a white man is scanty and small but a
large container will not be enough for a black man's feces. The situation
therefore is that after eating, you excrete all and become hungry again. Your
belly has become your God.(Phil 3:19). If you stay without food for
sometime, and later in the evening you take some fruits in the way of
medication and thereafter drink a little water, you will feel the impulse in you.
You will have no problems. The following day you do the same thing and continue
in that manner. After a time you will notice the revitalizing spirit in you.
The Holy Spirit will enter into you and your eyes will be opened.
All the diseases, awful dreams, and nightmares are brought about
by all sorts of foods that you eat. Brethren, since I do not want to overload
you, the first lesson will now be read.
First Bible Lesson: 1 Corinthians 15:26
"The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death."
Brethren, have you heard what has been read out to you? The last
enemy is food. The Bible has advised that it should not be because of
surfeiting and much drinking that that day takes you unawares. All those who
love food abide in death up till today. All those who love food are the enemies
of the Cross of Christ. The arch enemy of the Holy Spirit is food. Watch
carefully, once food is brought into this Hall there will be fighting and
scrambling. Also watch when we are on dry fasting, this Hall will be very quiet
and the Holy Spirit will gently conduct His affairs without resistance. He
heals your infirmities and takes away your problems. If there is any good
thing in Brotherhood, it is the dry fasting. The benefits of Thursday 6
a.m. to 6 p.m. fasting cannot be over-emphasized. In the world, you will
clearly see the sign of old age on the faces of men and women, your age-mates
now walk with the help of the walking stick. Here in Brotherhood, we look very
young and are regenerated from day to day. Those of you who had pot-bellies
have now been trimmed to size. Such bellies are signs of death and not good
health. Sometimes when such persons go to the hospital, they are declared
anemic whereas if you examine one person in Brotherhood, the amount of blood in
him is enough to sustain many lives.
Abstinence From Food Will Follow A Gradual Process
This issue eludes the worldly wisdom. This is why we are told that
the last enemy to be destroyed is food. The way to get about it is what we are
telling you. But I am not telling you to go and start off. It is an issue which
requires a gradual and progressive step. When you hear and practice the Word of
God, He will take away the spirit of surfeiting from you. Do you not see how
you are told not to drink, or snuff, or smoke, or indulge in diabologies or
other vices. It is gradual and when the Word of God takes control of you that
is the end to it.
Do not eat meat. Do not eat fish. Do not eat anything at all. All
those instructions are the different knots that have to be tightened one after
the other till finally we arrive at eating of fruits. If God instructed Adam to
eat of all the fruits of the trees and did not tell him to kill an animal or
any other thing for food, and we have various kinds of fruits these days than
were in those days, why are you still stubborn and have chosen death for
yourselves.
Leave The Skin And Hair Unattended With Chemicals
To the angel whom it was given to hurt the earth and sea it was
said," Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees." (Rev
7:3). He knows for certain that the trees were food. God is changeless in
His covenant. He made fruits for us to eat. The fruits give us life. These
foods are not cooked but are ready-made. This serves as the body-supporting
medicine for your sustenance.
Do not rub any pomade or cream on your body. Do not do anything
with you hair. There is no difference between a man and a woman. Do not perm or
do anything with your hair. This is the instruction from God. Anything other
than this is destruction. All the ointment you rub are chemicals. They destroy
your body which is the body of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Whatever you are
forbidden from doing is for your own good. If you fail to comply, you have only
yourself to blame. David wanted to build a temple for God but God told him not
to build because his hands were not clean. (2 Sam 11:12-17). For this
reason, David gave up the attempt. Although he had money, building materials,
and could build the house, he had to obey God. The owner of the temple tells
you that he does not want cream or ointment rubbed on his house but you still
insist.
The Holy Spirit Has Arrived
The Holy Spirit wants you to eat fruit. He does not delight in
much food. Since your body is His, you have to purify it. The Holy Spirit does
not require taking of drugs or enema or anything into your body. All you need
to do is to purify the temple because he has come to dwell with man. When the
Holy Spirit enters into your body your condition can be likened to that of a
pregnant woman. You will notice how selective the pregnant woman is. It is not
the pregnant woman who is selective but the child, which is the spirit she
carries. Some will demand for water, some for groundnuts. Sometimes they demand
for many other things. The Holy Spirit behaves that way. He directs you on what
to do.
Right now the world does not know that He has come. But we have
known that he has arrived and it is for this reason that we celebrate the
reception of the Holy Spirit. He comes with the intention to dwell in His house. Our bodies
are His abode. When a person builds a house, he has the right to live in his
house. He shed his precious blood to wash away our sins so that He can make
His house clean enough to inhabit. Now that He has come to dwell in His
house, surrender the house to the owner. Some other person's property is a
likely source of trouble. If by the time the owner of a house travelled you had
used his house as you liked, when you hear about his arrival, you have to sweep
his house clean before you hand over to him to avoid trouble.
To Please God, Be A Teetotaler
This is our duty, go and preach to the people of the world
about the arrival of the Holy Spirit and His requirements. That is why
you are instructed not to drink or fornicate. Comply yourself with the
instructions of God. All types of liquor, whether it be a whisky, or beer or
mineral, all of them are poisonous. None of these is good for the human body.
Snuff, cigarettes, cigar mean death. All forms of injection, syrup, tablets,
capsules are poisonous and death. All kinds of pomade, cream, perfume ointment
are death. Costly clothings are death. Dress in a very decent and simple
manner, and that is good enough. Right now, what He requires from us is the
white apparel. He has made the choice for us. You do not own yourself. He
who owns us has chosen what He wants for us. He had promised that He will
give you the white raiment which you will put on and walk with Him.
This is the time that we should listen to the Spirit. Your
fathers lived the way they did when they did not yet believe. But now that the
Holy Spirit is leading you to the accurate wisdom of the truth, why are you
obdurate and recalcitrant? Observe how sickness, death, punishment and
tribulation are besetting man. If you now go to the hospital, there are no
drugs. If you take enema, it does not work. The prayers you offer do not work.
Nothing tends to work again these days. When you are told this truth, the
church denominations will rise to challenge that whoever tells you not to take
injection or syrup is a killer. You who were here in the morning heard the
testimony of that chief medical consultant; he does not take any form of
medication again. He is a great physician but suffered from heart attack and
hypertension which caused him to consult from one specialist hospital to the
other but no cure was provided him. But on his getting baptized here in May
1986, all his sicknesses were completely healed. I am saying this to your
shame. He, as a great physician, no longer takes injection or swallows any
tablet or capsule, nor drink any liquid, but if you go to him, he will
administer injection on you. This development induced his wife who hails from
one of the communist countries to demand for baptism. She observed that the
husband no longer complained of his heart pains and hypertension, and did not
take any medical treatment but only took the holy oil.
The Testimony Of A Chief Judge
This doctor also introduced a chief Judge to Brotherhood. Somebody
first recommended that doctor to the chief Judge as the only great physician
who would be able to help him. But the doctor examined the urine and stool of
the Chief Judge and could find nothing, yet the man was dying of pain. When the
chief Judge asked for what he should do in order to get well, the doctor told
him that since he could not diagnose, no prescriptions could be given. The
doctor told the chief Judge that in the face of the critical condition, he
would take the man to Calabar where his infirmities would be healed. You also
heard the testimony of the chief Judge who was baptized on the 9th of January,
1987 and since then he no longer takes any form of medication. His illness is completely
cured.
Do you not know that all the time we go in for medical check-ups,
receive injections and tablets, we have taken poison into our bodies and we
have taken death into our systems. Many Brotherhood members who die, die in the
hospital. When you go to hospital, take drugs and die, your blood will be upon
you. God does not compel any person to do anything against his will. As I am
telling you, so do I tell all the inhabitants of the world that they should no
longer take tablets, injections, and syrup. Check your food and be very careful
of what you eat. Eat fruits. Fruits are considerably cheaper here in Africa. We
are going to establish orchards and plant citrus fruits. You can eat just one
banana or suck one orange and drink water and the medicinal effect will heal
you. The only food that is blessed by God is fruit. But anything
else you prepare for yourselves as food is poisonous.
The Other Meaning Of Fornication
What is referred to as lust or fornication does not always
imply going to lie down with a man or woman. It refers also to being
excessive in anything you take. If for instance you drink water more than
necessary, you have committed fornication. When you prepare for yourselves a
basin full of gari and consume all alone, you have committed fornication.
Whatever you have to take, should be in a very small quantity because it is
simply medicinal. You can do with one banana daily. Even so, you can still skip
some days. In this way you will feel the pulse in you. God lives within you. He
guides us, and has everything. We will neither fall sick, nor have nightmares,
nor be angry and there will be no problems. God would not leave us at any
point.
Do you think that it had been the mind of God that Adam and Eve
should ever continue to feed on fruits? If they had continued to assimilate the
Word of God, they would, at a later time, not be hungry again. What God did
with them was like somebody starting an infant class. It was for that stage
that they were taught to eat fruits. This, they would have eaten till the
time the word of God would fill them. When the Word of God dwells
richly in your heart, you will neither hunger nor thirst.
Take Fruit In Small Quantities
How will we not die as long as you continue to fill your body with
mud and poison. Instead of facing the fact before you, you point accusing
fingers on to mermaid, juju, witchery, apparition, and charm. Is the charm kept
for you or the food you are eating which is responsible for your conditions.
Some of you are simply gluttonous. Before attending this Sermon, you have taken
up to ten courses of meals.
In the past, you were like sheep without a shepherd. But now a
shepherd has come from the highest heaven to pour his instruction on all
mankind.
Plant groundnuts, pineapples, oranges, paw paw, sugarcane and many other
fruits. When you feel like taking something, you can take a little fruit and
not much of it.
If we should examine ourselves, God would not judge us but when he
judges us, he chastises us that He may not condemn us with the people of the
world.(1 Cor 11:31-32). Let our second lesson be read.
Second Bible Lesson: 1 Corinthians 6:13
"Meats for the belly, and belly for meats: but God shall
destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the
Lord; and the Lord for the body."
God did not make this body for fornication. Whenever any person
passes by, you call on her or make moves to confront him. He made man for
himself. God dwells in the human body. He does not dwell in houses built by
man. Hand over the house to the owner. The owner of the house says he
does not want those wretched things. Why do you continue to introduce all such
things into the house? Does the house belong to you?
Constant Abstinence From Food
I know that a great many people in Brotherhood do not even fast on
Thursdays. I know also that many a Brotherhood member would not eat for a week.
They chose to go on dry fasting and they feel well and good. The living God
converses distinctively with them and they hear the still small voice. Some
people stay up to two weeks without food and they feel very strong and healthy.
This Gospel strengthens their faith that they should continue in that manner. It
is also an encouragement to those who have not yet done so since the common
complaint had always been that the Father has been silent over the issue. The
Father has now openly announced that you should no longer rub any cream the
body since it amounts to body adulteration. The body is no longer ours. We
had been bought with a price. No person has a right over his body. It is only
Our Lord Jesus Christ who has the right over every person. We have to hearken
to the instructions of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Are We Ready To Admit Him Into His House?
We are that house, we are the city, we are the field. It is said,
Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it: except the
Lord keeps the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. (Ps. 127:1) If God
does not protect you, can you ever protect yourself? If God does not demolish
us, removing from us all kinds of infirmities and encumbrances, and rebuild us
for his habitation, who else can rebuild us? He has come to change us and
rebuild us, the heart that had been damaged, and other parts that were
dysfunctional, he has come to reconstruct and regenerate us so that we may have
a share in the Kingdom of God.
How will the person who eats foo-foo, yam porridge, chin-chin,
eggs and other things be pure in the flesh? The man who eats meat, fish, and
drinks tea, wine, and takes snuff, how will he be pure in flesh and in the
spirit? It is said, if the owner of the house had known when the thieves would
come, he would have kept watching. (Matt 24:43). You better keep
watch because 1999 is fast approaching. Those who are not here
present do hear this instruction as well, because I am declaring from the
highest heaven. Fishes in the water, animals in the forest, birds of the
air are all preparing to see the glory of this Kingdom and what it will come to
be.
What does it all mean when you say God helps those who help
themselves? As long as you live the life he wants, concerning the food you
eat, right from today that you have heard this Gospel, try to put it into
practice. When you try to practice it, you will notice a remarkable change in
your life. Anger will subside. Food causes you to be angry. Food is made up
of various kinds of spirit which do not match with your body constitution.
Bodily Adornments
It is said that there is neither male nor female (Gal.3:28).
Our Lord Jesus Christ is all and in all (Col.3:11). We all have to
maintain low hair cuts, men and women alike. Do not wear any necklace, do not
put on any earrings, and do not paint any part of your body. All such
things are abominable, they are works of death, and signs of death. We have a
piece of land where we are going to build Our City. You will not enter this
city with any earring, or shoes, neither will you go in with any hair-do. Fruit
is the only food to be eaten in the city. If you are unable to do away with all
these propensities, it will be impossible for you to enter. You may claim, to
be Obu's child, or you have been a member of Brotherhood for twenty years, I am
saying that even if you have been a member for one hundred years, the hair you
are plaiting, the necklaces and bangles you wear, the cream you rub disqualify
you. I will tell you, get you behind me. However you will operate as a
Brotherhood member in Calabar or Lagos or in any other place. How will the City
be conducive for you when there is neither wine, nor fornication, nor the kinds
of food you eat? How will you survive in it? Excessive eating is not accepted
there. Even the available fruits will be rationed to every person. If you do
not get prepared now, it means the place will not be congenial for your living
and you will not be there.
As I am telling you, it is said, whatever is bound here on earth,
is bound in heaven (Matt 18:18). It is also said, let thy Kingdom come,
thy will be done on earth as it is done in heaven. It is what is done in heaven
that is also going to be done on earth. (Matt 6:10). Those who long for
this city are making their preparations now. But I warn that you should not be
like the five foolish virgins who did not go with their kerosene. (Matt
25:3). The issue does not call for pleading with God to forgive you. Once
you are unable to resist and overcome death, death will overcome you.
Food Is Man's Enemy
Because of his recalcitrance, Moses was shown to the promised land
but he did not enter. My duty and yours is to war against food. Your enemy
is food. You complain you are irate, easily irritated, quarrelsome; that
evil spirits torment you. Food is the source of your problems. Food leads to
evil spirits, nightmares and the anger you find in your system. Do not
broadcast your intentions. When you return today begin to practice this Gospel.
Stay on your own and leave food. You will not be hungry. Preach and practice
the Word of God. Listen to the Word of God and carry out God's injunctions. In
this way you will not feel hungry. When you have the desire to eat, take just
one banana and drink water. Within one week, you will see that you will be a
completely different person. Sickness, and other evil spirits will disappear.
By Means Of Fruits God Rejuvenates You
I had already told you that I do not want these electric fans.
They are chemical products which are poisonous, to the body. I do not also want
anything from the refrigerator. I do not want any cold water, it contains
chemical and is, therefore, poisonous drugs. I have told you publicly but you
would not hear. What I am preaching to you is about myself. Compare your bodies
with mine and notice who looks younger and fresher. If the Father's age is
mentioned, many people will be bamboozled. Yet, in the next twenty years He
will be younger than He is today. You have adulterated your body with perfume,
ointment and cream, your hair is poisoned and now you look wretchedly old. But
day after day, out of His love God tries to rejuvenate, regenerate and
reconstruct you, but you are at the same time dragging yourselves into mud
again.
You are calling upon the Holy Spirit to come to your aid but you
have adulterated your body and because of the repugnant and obnoxious odor
fuming from your body, He stays afar and will not come close. How will he come
and save you. He alone can heal us. There is nothing impossible with him. If we
surrender ourselves to him, there is nothing which he cannot do for us.
When he wants to demolish us in order to reconstruct and rebuild
again, we misconceive his activities and are carried to the hospital for
treatment during which period we are given injection and tablet. The last thing
is for us to die. The grades of doctors, surgeons, paramedical staff and
nurses we have in this Kingdom, the type of injections and tablets, and the
stock of drugs we have, if your eyes were open to behold the hospital set up
here, you would see yourself clearly as the most foolish man to attend a carnal
hospital. Each and every one of us has a body guard and escort. All of
us undergo medical check-ups by our attendant doctors. There are some staying
by you, keeping watch over you to treat anything that affects you. This is
for everybody. Right now that you are here, food is served. This explains why
you are not always hungry. That is why, if you were to hear the instructions of
God, you would have enjoyed this Kingdom more than what happens now.
Holy Spirit, The Greatest Physician
God thinks about us much more than we think of ourselves. As you
go to the hospital, have you seen the Leader going to the hospital? That has
always been your problem. You have been going to the hospital all your life but
what good has it done for you? The Leader has never gone to any hospital. I
have no business with medication. You often complain that the Leader has not
taught you. When did you see the Leader taking drugs? I do not even keep them,
nor do I consult any type of physician.
Right now, if you are partly blind, it is because of the poison
you take in. But if you eat the kind of food prescribed for you, and comply
with the Word of God, your good sight will be restored to you. Let the Holy
Spirit gain entrance into you. The heart and blood that is not good, when the
Holy Spirit gains entrance into the house and starts His work, even when
injection is ministered do not complain. If he is treating a stomach problem do
not be worried. He is the owner of the house. When he completes His Work, you
will become younger and younger.
When the Leader says that in ten years time he will be younger
than He is today, people begin to wonder whether the man will be alive for that
long. The enemies will fidget that they are done for. They do not wish that the
Father should live that long, so that they may have room to operate as they
wish in the world. But I am saying that in the next twenty years, I will be
younger than this.
What I am telling you does not require any money. It calls for the
mortification of the flesh to enable the spirit to triumph. Why you look for
food, woman, and wealth is because of the evil spirit in you which comes from
the food you eat. If you refrain from eating the kind of food you have been
eating and concentrate your attention in eating fruit, and the purification of
your body, no evil thoughts will come into you. You will be in a completely
different world.
Do you know that food is Satan? Do you know that food is the evil
spirit and death? At present, what are your thoughts filled with? What will I eat,
what will I put on, what will I drink? You are enslaved by these tendencies.
You beat up your wife because of food. You divorce your husband because of
food. You beat your child because of food. You deny your father because of
food. But it is said that food does not recommend a person before God and if
one does not eat it does not disapprove a man before God. Food is nothing at
all. Clothing is nothing at all. Perfume and cream are useless before God. Only
the Word of God can put you in a good position before God.
You have been feeling that if you go to somebody's house and he
serves you with various dishes and assorted kinds of drinks that the person
loves you dearly. I am telling you that he is the person who hates you the most
apart from also being an enemy of God. Brethren, I do not want to belabor you.
Let our Golden Text be read.
Golden Text: Philippians 3:18-19
"For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell
you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose
glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things."
Brethren, ponder over this situation. If from today you no longer
put your heart in the things of this world, would you have the cause to quarrel
with any person? If you do not bother about clothes, shoes, food, bed, house
and any kind of good, will you quarrel with any person?
The Leader Preaches Himself
I had already told you, that when first I arrived in Calabar, the
first pot of soup I prepared cost only one penny. After preparing the soup, I
used it for eight days. I was taking half a cup of gari for every twenty four
hours. And I had no problem. I had no problems with anybody. My clothing
comprised a simple pant, a sleeveless singlet. I went about with it to every
place I had to go. I am preaching about myself and not about any other person.
The most costly apparel I bought was a pant costing five pence and a sleeveless
singlet bought at one shilling and three pence. When you complain every time
that you are looking for this or you want to eat the other, I have never lusted
after anything. All these things do not interest me. No matter what you eat, I
am not bothered. By this Sermon, I am preaching myself. Food is nothing to me,
cloth is nothing to me, house is nothing to me. In fact, all the things you can
think of in the world have no place in my thought. I am preaching about myself.
I have seen that you are not yet mature for this life, that is why I give you
this gospel in bits and pieces. This Gospel tells you how to live a pure and
natural life. I am preaching myself since I am a born vegetarian. You cannot
lead a man to a city you have never visited because you cannot give any person
the exact description of such a city. But this city I am telling you about is
where I come from. It is a city which knows nothing about all surfeiting and lust.
Have you ever seen me growing fat and robust? For ages, my size remains the
same. Some of you come here with swollen cheeks. You are given to much eating
and your belly is death. Is the content of your cheeks not evil?
The Leader's Food Is The Word Of God
Many people ask what the Father eats and when he eats. This is
my food. I feed on the Word of God. From time immemorial my food has
always been the Word of God. If you practice the Word of God, you have no
problems. If you preach the Word of God and take delight in listening to the
Word of God, you have no problem. The irony of it all is that if you feed
fat, you will no longer hear the Word of God. You will become an enemy of
the Word of God. When the word of God is preached, you will not even hear. That
is why our Brother Paul said, that they are enemies of the cross of Christ, of
what I have told you often and now tell you even weeping, whose God is their
belly (Phil.3:19).
Our Lord Jesus Christ had earlier warned, "Labour not for the
meat that perishes but labour for the meat that will endure for ever which the
Son of man shall give." (John 6:27). As I observe, you are those
laboring for the food that perishes. When feast is shared you will collect for
yourself many plates of rice and call for Afiong or Etim to give you more
plates. That means, this is what has brought you here. You think of no other
thing but to fight for food. The same thing you do with money, and position. No
person seeks for eternal life.
How will the words spoken by Our Lord Jesus Christ be fulfilled in
you? He says: "Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled
their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are
worthy." (Rev 3:4). But right now is your garment clean? Is your
body pure and undefiled? The white garment promised you, if you are undefiled,
is that spirit. Brethren, you cannot show the expression of love. The Holy
Spirit is Love. You cannot speak the truth. The Holy Spirit is the truth. He is
righteousness. Except you purify yourself, for the Holy Spirit to indwell and
start working, even if you stay here for one hundred years you cannot do any
good thing. The Holy Spirit is God's embodiment.
No Evil Resides In God
Be you pure even as I am pure, no evil resides with me. No good
thing resides in man. Man is like a cage. That is why no matter how much one
tries to be patient, he cannot. Do not even waste your time struggling to
possess any virtue of God. It is not given to any one. When you see a person
showing the expression of love, do not commend the person. It is God who shows
the expression of love. Do not commend a person for having faith, or patience,
because it is God who has all the virtues. This explains why Paul said,
"for the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that
I do.
Now if I do that I would not, it is not I that do it, but the sin
that dwelleth in me." (Rom 7:19-20)
It had been said, "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost
whom the Father will send in My Name, he shall teach you all things." (John
14:26).
Have you not realized that the Comforter, even the Holy Spirit now
teaches you? The medical doctor does not know that all the drugs he uses in the
hospital are poisonous. All food technologists, dieticians, cooks, and stewards
do not know that the food they prepare are poisonous to the human bodies, and
that they kill. Do you not realize how you prepare food? You cook, fry, bake,
roast and destroy the content and life. If you were to eat food in their
natural state; banana, orange, mango, pineapples, you would have life
abundantly in you.
I do not want to repeat myself. A local adage says, when you are
verbose, your words are not useful to the people. I am sure that this year you
will assimilate, and live by these words and you will have life.
A stroke of the cane is sufficient unto the wise. Those who have
ears, let them hear. May God bless His Holy Words. A-men.
