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 the kingdom 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 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 power in 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 judgement? 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 AND
AUTHORITY TO RULE HEAVEN AND EARTH.
OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS
THE SAME TODAY, TOMORROW, AND FOREVER. (Heb 13:8).
The first Christ was
given superintendency 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 Father has not revealed this wisdom to the entire world, have
you 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 person reigned 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 is
all-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 Thes 5:2).
A fool at forty is said
to be a fool forever. Being fooled once is understandable; but to be fooled a
second 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 Christ from 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 He has 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 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 still
expecting 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 ask 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
himself ready 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 WORLD WITH 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 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
Our Lord 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 be taken 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
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 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 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.
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 superintendency over all things created in heaven and on
earth, including 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 BE KILLED 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 the vices. This message is given to you so that you will know that
you are in the kingdom of God. The problems 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 is
abundant 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 believed would 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 under Him. 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 YOU KNOW 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 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 became angry 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 PUNISHMENTS THAT
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? He rules 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.
GOLDEN TEXT:
REVELATION 12:5
"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."
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 summarizes the 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, the fishes, 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 therefore
been 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 weald 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 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
GREATER THE 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. No person 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. His kingdom 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 Father.
