First
Bible Lesson: Luke 9:55-56
"But
he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are
of.
For
the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they
went to another village."
Second
Bible Lesson: John 14:26
"But
the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name,
he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance,
whatsoever I have said unto you."
Golden
Text: John 16:13
"Howbeit
when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he
shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak:
and he will shew you things to come."
I want
everyone to remain in complete silence. I also want everyone to open his mouth
and sing this chorus. I want everyone to focus his attention on
me. Do not look at any other thing or direction. The song is,
"He has come, He has come, He has come to rule the world. He has come to
save the world. He has come to judge the world. He has come to lead the
world."
Olumba
Olumba Obu, The Comforter, Being God Incarnate, Needs Not Be Taught By Any
Person
Brethren,
what had been mentioned in the song are the qualities of the Holy Spirit. I do
not intend to be tedious unto you but I want to tell you that all the eloquent
testimonies borne by our Lord Jesus Christ about this time have all come to
fulfillment. It is a truism that the man you call Olumba Olumba Obu has
never attended any Bible College or Seminary, neither has he attended any
Church, nor has he ever read the Bible, nor has he been taught by any human
being.
Every
time I have to give testimony about this kingdom of God. It is not clear to you
that this glory does not come from any human being. But this is the promise
which God had made through the mouth of our Lord Jesus Christ. Have you not
heard what he has said, "That the Comforter, even the Spirit of truth,
whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will bring
to your remembrance whatsoever I have said unto you." Look around; have
you seen anything different?
The
Word Of God Will Not Pass Away Until All Are Fulfilled
You,
who were not in the world, during the advent of our Lord Jesus Christ, you have
to revise and recapitulate the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ, and then
compare with what you find in the world today, whether there is anything
different. That is why it is said, "Heaven and earth will pass away, but
the word of God will not pass away, until all be fulfilled." (Matt
5:18,24:35/Mark 13:31).
The
Teaching of Brotherhood Is The Revisitation and Recapitulation Of The Teaching
Of The Christ
People
refer to the teaching of Brotherhood as a new doctrine. How is it a new
teaching? Brotherhood teaches you love; teaches you the truth; teaches you
mercy; teaches you patience; teaches you humility, teaches you forgiving one
another; teaches you meekness and temperance; teaches you long suffering and
all good virtues. Because our Lord Jesus Christ himself is love; He is
the truth; He is mercy; He is peace; He is humility; He is meekness and
temperance; He is long suffering; He is righteousness; He is hope; He is joy;
and He is everything to every man. The chorus you have heard tells you
that the Holy Spirit has come to save the whole world. He has also come to
teach the whole world the wisdom of the truth. He has come to protect all the
inhabitants of the world. He has come to rule the whole world. He has come to
save all the inhabitants of the world. He has come to recreate, and
rebuild us and make us anew. He has come to love every human being. He
has brought perfect peace, which will never depart from you. He has come to
judge every human being. His judgement is true because he himself is the truth.
With the truth He judges. He has not come to kill us; He has not come to punish
us; but He has come to save us; to change and recreate us. He has brought peace
and love unto us.
The
Holy Spirit Is Our Guardian
He
guards and protects us while we are asleep. He guards and protects us while we
are walking along the street. In all ways whatever, He continues to guard and
protect us. He gives us clothes. He provides us with food. He teaches us those
things we did not know. He reminds us of those things we have forgotten. The
Holy Spirit has in effect taught us everything.
The
Holy Spirit has come to teach us everything and bring to our remembrance
whatsoever our Lord Jesus Christ had commanded, so that you may walk in His
footsteps.
The
Christ Came To Preserve Men's Lives
And so
brethren, you have to look around, whether you have not seen all those things
being fulfilled. As we have been told in our first lesson, that the Son of man
has not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. When the disciples
asked, "Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and
consume them, even as Elias did?" (Luke 9:54). Our Lord Jesus
Christ replied, "Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of." His
spirit is the image and likeness of God; for God is love, the truth, meekness
and temperance, humility, patience, long suffering, self-control, mercy,
everlasting life and peace.
Flesh
and blood cannot do this work. It is only the spirit which can do it. That is
why I have been telling you that you should not look at the body. The spirit of
our Lord Jesus Christ was the spirit of love. That is why I say that he was
God. For His spirit was love, His spirit was the truth, peace, grace, everlasting
life, and all other virtues.
John
The Baptist Came In The Power And Spirit Of Elijah (Luke 1:17).
All
that you do are based on the type of spirit with which you come. Elijah
came first; and when John the Baptist came, people sought to know him in the
flesh. But John came in the spirit and the power of Elijah. Our Lord
Jesus Christ came in the spirit of God. He was (and is) God. He came
to save the whole world from death; and from tribulation and from affliction.
That is why he said, "I did not come to judge the world, but to save
it." (John 12:47)
That
is why our Lord Jesus Christ also said, "The Son of man did not come to be
ministered unto but to minister and to give His life a ransom for many."
(Matt 20:28). It was not our Lord Jesus Christ himself, the body that
people saw, which did those works. But the spirit of God in him, known by no
one, was what did everything. That is why He said, "Of myself I can do
nothing. As I hear, I judge, and my judgement is true. For I seek not my own
will but the will of him that sent me." (John 5:30).
The
Concept Of Equality
It was
said that our Lord Jesus Christ went to India to study different disciplines.
He went nowhere but it was the spirit in Him which taught Him everything, and
showed Him everything. When He went to India, He only went to teach the
people. It was in India that He taught them about the concept of equality; that
everyone should be equal. It was then that they planned to kill him for
teaching them the concept of equality.
If
you examine carefully, you will discover that the teaching of our Lord Jesus
Christ did not come from any human being but direct from God. He taught that
man should not resist an evildoer (Mt 5:39); and "if any
person demands that he should walk a mile with him, walk with him two
miles (Mt 5:41); and if a man will sue him at the law court to take
away his coat, let him have his cloak also (Mt 5:40). Love your
enemies and bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, pray for
them that despitefully use you and persecute you (Mt 5:44);
"that you may be the children of your Father who is in heaven: for He
makes His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just
and on the unjust. For if you only love those who love you, what will be your
reward?" (Matt 5:45-46). Have you seen any person who
practices the teachings of Our Lord Jesus Christ? Have you also found a person
teaching others that same lesson? But he had said, "When He, even the
Spirit of truth will come, He will teach you all things and bring to your
remembrance whatsoever He had said unto you."
The
Holy Spirit Has Shown Man Everything
I am
always sympathetic with you; and I also laugh you to scorn when you say that
Brotherhood is not found in the Bible. What testimony did our Lord Jesus Christ
bear. Our Lord Jesus Christ had borne eloquent testimony about this Kingdom of
God. All the testimonies of our Lord Jesus Christ were about the happenings now
invariably the work of the Holy Spirit. He said, "Whoever blasphemes
against the Son of man shall be forgiven but whoever blasphemes against the
Holy Spirit will never be forgiven, in this generation and in the generation to
come." (Matt 12:32). He also said, "It is expedient for
you 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). He
concluded by saying, "When He, even the Spirit of truth will come, He will
lead you to the accurate wisdom of the truth; for He shall not speak of
himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak; and He will shew
you things to come." (John 16:13).
The
Sermons Preached In Brotherhood Are The Words Of God
You are
witnesses to the fact that all the teachings imparted to you do not come from
any human being, nor from the wisdom of the world. They are not from an angel
but simply the words of God. You have attended the University, attended
Seminary; you have gone to European Countries, and other places, have you ever
heard this type of teaching imparted to you? Why is it so? It is because that
Spirit spoken of by our Lord Jesus Christ is the one operating here.
Many
people often say that they have twenty, ten or forty certificates. I have no
certificate and have never attended any school. Many others boast that they can
preach. I cannot preach but it is the Comforter, even the Spirit of truth, who
preaches, and teaches you everything. Because He is the spirit which will never
depart from this world. He has brought peace to the whole world, to both heaven
and earth. He has not come to destroy any man but to save your souls to save
those who are weak and heavy laden (Mt 11:28), those who are sick,
and afflicted, those who are sorrowful, those having different problems; the
outcast and the rejected.
The
Holy Spirit has never been exasperated. He has never quarrelled with any
person. He does not tell lies. He does not deceive any person. He does not kill
or destroy any person. He cannot disgrace any person. He does not steal. He
does not commit fornication. He does not hate any person. When people
erroneously complain that the Holy Spirit is punishing them, I have to tell
them to keep quiet, because they do not understand what they are saying.
The
Christ Has A Virtuous Spirit
Our
Lord Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. (Heb
13:8). Do you remember when He said, "My peace give I unto you. I
have brought peace into the world" (John 14:27). He is
the Spirit of peace. He is the Spirit of power. He is the Spirit of mercy. He
is the Spirit of truth. He is the Spirit of patience. He is the spirit of
humility. He is the spirit of self-control. He is the spirit of joy. He is the
spirit of everlasting life. He is the spirit of good health. He is the spirit
of beauty. He is sinless.
The
Holy Spirit Is A Perfect Being
Whoever
comes to Brotherhood should realise that our Lord Jesus Christ does not seek
for any warfare. He has come to redeem you. He has come to comfort you. He has
come to give peace unto you. When you are sad, he will console you. When you
are confused, he will advise you. He has come to guard and protect you. He has
come to wipe away your tears. He has come to change you. He has come to cleanse
you of all sins, so that you may be like him.
Do you
not realise His love for us? Do you not know how He is truthful? Do you not see
how He has healed you of your sickness? There has never been any point in time
when the Holy Spirit came to destroy the world. The Holy Spirit has never told
lies. The Holy Spirit has never deceived any person. The Holy Spirit has never
quarreled with any person. The point is that when you depart from Him, you are
beset with problems.
When
Adam and Eve were with the Holy Spirit in the Garden of Eden, they were given
instructions to eat of all the fruits of the trees in the garden except the fruit
of the tree in the midst of the garden. While they had not eaten of the
forbidden fruit, they were not sick, they were not poor, they were not hungry,
there was no heat of the sun, nor were they drenched by the rain. Man and
beasts lived together. Their trouble started right from the day they ate of the
forbidden fruit, the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. They
were driven out of the Garden of Eden.
I
want to tell you that the Holy Spirit is the Only One. I do not want
to overload you. Let our first lesson be read.
First
Bible Lesson: Luke 9:55-56
"But
He turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of Spirit ye are
of.
For
the Son of Man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they
went to another village."
Brethren,
have you heard that? When Our Lord Jesus Christ wanted to go to Jerusalem, He
passed through one of the Samaritan villages. When He was resisted by the
people, the disciples asked, "Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come
down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?" (Luke 9:54). You
all know who Elijah was. That is why he told them, "Ye know not the manner
of spirit I am of. For the Son of man is not coming to destroy men's lives, but
to save them."
Without
the Holy Spirit There Is No Virtue
Our
mothers cannot save us. Our fathers cannot save us. Our husbands cannot save us
nor can our wives save us, we can only be saved by the Holy Spirit. Wherever
the Holy Spirit is not found, neither peace can be found there, nor love nor mercy
nor grace nor truth. There is no good thing which can be found at such a place.
That is
why our Lord Jesus Christ said, "Except ye be born of water and
spirit" which means except you have the Holy Spirit, you cannot do any
good thing. The flesh has no love. The flesh has no patience. The flesh has no
peace, neither does it seek for peace. The flesh does not tell the truth. It
has no power. That is why our Lord Jesus Christ told his disciples, "If ye
love me, keep my commandments, and I will pray the Father, and He shall give
you another Comforter, that He may abide with you forever. Even the spirit of
truth; whom the world cannot receive because it seeth him not, neither knoweth
him; but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you and shall be in you." (John
14:15-17).
The
Holy Spirit Is The Spirit of Truth
Whoever
has the Holy Spirit cannot commit any sin. The Holy Spirit will never tell
lies. He is the Spirit of truth. He is and will continue to be peace and the
Prince of Peace ad infinitum. He will continue to live forever.
He has neither the origin of days nor the end of life. He is the beginning and
the end. He has no Deputy nor any opponent. He does not hate any person nor
discriminate. He does not require anything from any man. He is not in lack of
anything. He does not impute sins on any person. The Holy Spirit has only come
to save us, and to be merciful unto us, and to wipe away all tears from our
eyes. Of what use is money to the Holy Spirit? Of what use are houses to the
Holy Spirit? Of what use are beautiful women to the Holy Spirit? Of what use
are clothes to the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit has only come to save us, to
redeem us, and to wipe away all tears from our eyes.
I
always feel pity for people who say, "If God answers my request, I will
give him twenty naira." I simply laugh because they have not yet
understood themselves. The Holy Spirit does not want any house. He has come to
save you and to save me. He has also come to regenerate us. He has come to
guard and protect us. He has come to recreate us, redeem us, and lead us in the
path of righteousness.
Only
The Lamb Who Was Slain Could Open The Book
You
have heard that when the angel took up that book, and then asked John,
"Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals
thereof." (Rev 5:2). And no man in heaven nor in earth,
neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
John wept because no man was found worthy to open and read the book, neither to
look thereon. And one of the elders said unto John, "Weep not: behold the
Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book
and to loose the seven seals thereof; for worthy is the Lamb that was slain and
has redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue and people,
and nation." (Rev 5:3-9).
Where
The Spirit Is There Is Liberty (2 Cor 3:17)
The
Holy Spirit has not come to be ministered to but to minister to us; to make us
live in peace and also have everlasting life. That is why our Lord Jesus Christ
said, "...For if I go away I will send him to you. When the Comforter,
even the Spirit of truth will come, He shall teach you all things and bring
unto your remembrance whatsoever I have commanded you." Whoever does not
have the Holy Spirit knows nothing and is unable to do anything.
Wherever
you find people quarrelling amongst themselves, know that the Holy Spirit is
not there. Wherever there is division and segregation, know that the Holy
Spirit is not there. Where there are thieves; the Holy Spirit is not there. It
is said, "God is a Spirit and where the Spirit of God is, there is
liberty." (2 Cor 3:17).
The
Holy Spirit does not require any praises. What song can you sing for the Holy
Spirit? He has only come to save us, and to teach us His ways, and what we are
to do in order to live forever.
It
Is Because Of Man's Frailties That The Holy Spirit Has Come
When a
teacher teaches a student any lesson and the student is unable to understand,
he will be given corporal punishment. Such a thing cannot take place in this
Kingdom of God because no sin is in the Kingdom. That is why every person must
forsake sin. All of you who come before me, and those outside are witnesses to
the fact that I have nothing to do with anything sinful. I
do not see what is sinful, nor associate myself with sins. Our Lord
Jesus Christ saw the weakness and frailties of human beings. That is why he
said, "The Comforter which is the Holy Ghost whom the Father will send in
my name will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance whatsoever I
have taught you." If all of you who come to Brotherhood were to receive
and practise the teachings imparted to you, by now you would have had no
problems.
The
Father, the Word and the Holy Ghost Bear Witness in Heaven*
Do not
say again, when you have headache, that it has been caused by the Holy Spirit.
Do not ever say, when you are sick, that it is because the Holy Spirit has sent
you and you had refused to go, that is why you have been sick. Do not make any
such statement.
It is
said, "We are the children of God but the whole world lieth in
wickedness." (1 John 5:19). The teachings I impart to you
bring peace to you. That is why it is said that He is the Spirit of peace,
Spirit of truth, Spirit of good health, Spirit of hope, Spirit of faith, Spirit
of joy, Spirit of mercy, Spirit of everlasting life. That is why it is also
said that three of them bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word and the
Holy Ghost. The three of them are one. (1 John 5:7).*
This
is the end of time. The Holy Spirit has come as the controller of everything.
He has come as the Father of love. He is the Father of truth. He is the Father
of mercy. He is the Father of humility. He is the Father of grace. He is the
Father of life. He is the Father of power. He is the Father of everlasting life.
Hail!
The Reign of the Holy Spirit
Our
Lord Jesus Christ had said that this generation will not pass away until all
His words are fulfilled (Mt 24:34). Can you not realise that
the Holy Spirit is here on earth working? If He had not come, the world would have
perished. Because He is everything. Whatever is not good, be it water or
something solid He will change into His form or image.
We
must preach the Holy Spirit to the entire world. Whether they believe or not,
we are duty-bound to preach. We must also thank the Father for
the Holy Spirit because, without the Holy Spirit, the world would have
perished.
The
Holy Spirit guards and protects us in our sleep, while travelling, and teaches
us those things we do not know. He teaches us everything; teaches the animal in
the bush, birds in the air and fishes in water. The Holy Spirit is not
like the Universities where you pay thousands of money to acquire knowledge. He
teaches us free of charge because he has come to save us free of charge. He has
come to give us everything free of charge. You have only to surrender yourself
to Him, and listen to Him.
Listen
to the Still Small Voice
That is
a man who has neither attended the University, nor gone to any church, nor
attended any prayer house, nor gone to any place in the world, nor has he
initiated into any society, nor has he had any dealings with any person in the
world. But all the works we see in the world are done by him.
The
Holy Spirit had instructed me in my infancy, not to listen to any person,
because every person in the world is a liar. He said
that I should only listen to him because he alone has the wisdom. All the
things done in Brotherhood are done by him. If Brotherhood were to come from
man, from where is that man? Can you find this type of glory in European
Countries? Can you find this type of glory in India or in America, or in Russia
or in Africa, or in all other places? No matter where you go to, you can never
find similar things as in Brotherhood. Brotherhood has puzzled the whole world.
When you go to America, you are looked at with amazement. When you go to India,
you are looked at with surprise. Any place you may go to, you are being looked
at with amazement. It is the Holy Spirit which is doing everything.
The
Holy Spirit Is All And In All
At your
house, when children disobey their parents they are beaten up. Exactly the same
thing happens between a wife and a husband; between brothers and sisters. But,
here in Brotherhood, have you ever been beaten, has anyone become angry with
you; has any person frowned or become fastidious? In the world, before anything
is done for you, you have to pay for it. But here in Brotherhood everything is
done free of charge for you. No money is got from you. What will the Holy
Spirit use your money for? He is peace. He is life. He is money. He is
everything. He comes with love, peace, life and every other thing.
Some of
you complain that the Holy Spirit is angry with you. What have you done so that
he should be angry with you? When you say that the Holy Spirit has been angry
with a person due to his sin, I have to ask, what can he not do? If anything is
bad, He will change it. He has come to reform and rebuild us.
Without
Faith No Person Can Please The Lord
You
have heard that our Lord Jesus Christ did not do great works in his home town.
Why was that so? It was because of their unbelief. You have also heard that
Paul, during his missionary journey, if he went to a place where the name of
God was blasphemed, he would depart from that place after preaching. (Acts
13:46-51) You have also heard that man is saved by faith. Any
person who has no faith cannot be saved. But who has faith amongst you? Is
there anyone who has not blasphemed, even now, against the Holy Spirit? You ask
him questions and smite him by the cheeks.
Despite
the way human beings treat the Holy Spirit, yet has He no problems. If you have
any problems, you have to search yourself. The Holy Spirit has come with love
and peace, with mercy and grace. What is man? He had said, "I will wipe
away all tears from their eyes." (Rev 21:4). The Holy Spirit
has come to wipe away tears from your eyes and also take away death from you,
in spite of the blasphemous words against him, in spite of the abuses, in spite
of our doubts, in spite of the fact that we continue to tell lies, and steal,
and indulge in the preparation of concoction and charms. More especially to you
who are members, you continue to fight, thereby compelling those outside to
remark, in spite of the teaching of that man, the members continue to quarrel and
fight.
The
Holy Spirit Is Tolerance
Our
Lord Jesus Christ preached in the two cities of Bethsaida and Chorazin. When he
went back to see whether they had repented, he found that they had not repented
and so he cursed and upbraided them. (Matt 11:21). But you have
been in Brotherhood for twenty years. Of what use is your twenty years stay in
Brotherhood? You continue to fight, tell lies, fornicate, steal. Because the
Holy Spirit is never exasperated, He has never beaten you up, He has never
resisted nor reacted to your behaviour. Until eternity, the Holy Spirit has
nothing to do with sins.
The
Holy Spirit is holy. Everything about him is holy. Whatever any person says the
Holy Spirit has no problems. Because he has come to save both the small and
big; both good and evil men; to change everyone; only to love us; to guard and
protect our lives; and also to remind us of all that our Lord Jesus Christ
taught; and to teach us how we should live.
If
each and every one of us were to listen to the prompting of the Holy Spirit,
none of us would have any problems. We would no longer quarrel and fight, be
angry, and commit any act of sin. If we were to count His blessings upon
each and every one of us and His love for us and imputing no sin on us, we
would have known exactly what to do.
The
Holy Spirit Is Not Carnally Minded
Many
visioners tell you that the Holy Spirit requires a soutane from you. What is
the Holy Spirit going to use a soutane for? When you tell a person that the
Holy Spirit has directed that you should build a house for him, realise that it
is not the Holy Spirit. The person is only a liar. When you tell a person that
the Holy Spirit has directed that two of you should get married. God forbid!
That can never be said by the Holy Spirit. If you want to marry, go and marry.
Do not lie that you have been directed by the Holy Spirit. If you beat up your
child and then give as an excuse that it is the Holy Spirit which has directed
you to do so, you should realise that the Holy Spirit does not beat up any person. The
Holy Spirit only changes a person. His duty is to love everyone.
The
Holy Spirit has come with love to save you. He has come with patience to save
you. He has come with truth, mercy, meekness, and temperance, humility and
peace, to save you.
By
Prayer and Supplication Make Your Request Known To God
If you
go to a person to beg, and then tell him that the Holy Spirit has directed you
to beg from him, realise that you have not been sent by the Holy Spirit. Does
the Holy Spirit not teach that you should be satisfied in your position? Does
he not teach you that there is nothing in the world, and therefore you should
not love the world and the things in the world? Does he not teach you,
"believe not in any man, only believe in the Father, and in him
also"? He does not teach that you should go to a person for prayers. He
teaches that you should make your requests known to Him by prayer and
supplications. (Phil 4:6).
Do not
tell any person your problems. The Holy Spirit teaches us everything but
because of your lust for the things of the world, you are carried away.
It is
for your sake that people blaspheme against the name of God. Blasphemy is no
disturbance to the Holy Spirit because the Holy Spirit Himself is Holy and has
nothing to do with anything sinful. He has come to fulfill his will.
The
Holy Spirit Is Everything To Every Man
Whenever
you find a person speaking any evil about Brotherhood, simply pass by for He is
not referring to Brotherhood. Brotherhood does not take injection nor drugs, it
does not indulge in the preparation of concoction and charms; it is not water
at Biakpan that does anything. It is only the Holy Spirit which dwells
everywhere and does everything.
The
Holy Spirit is in water, in water underneath; He is in the land, in the air, in
the forest and everywhere. Each and every one of you should go back and ponder
over this: whether any human being can do the great works you see in the world
today. All sicknesses are healed free of charge by the Holy Spirit. He does not
exact any money for what he does but you continue to collect money from sick
people. He continues to guard and protect you free of charge, but you continue
to get money from people claiming that you are the one protecting them. In
spite of all the sins you commit, does the Holy Spirit bother you?
Craftiness
Is No Wisdom
Remember
Elisha whom God directed to go to Syria to heal Naaman, the leper. When he got
there, He told Naaman to go and wash in Jordan seven times. He replied that he
had just been out of water. But the servant advised that he should do what the
master has bidden him. Naaman then went and dipped himself seven times in the
water and was cleansed. Consequent upon his cure, he brought money and
presented to Elisha. Elisha said that he needed nothing from him. He did not
lust after wealth. This is to show to you the lesson about the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil, which is the problem of the world. When Elisha and
the servant had gone a little away from Naaman, the servant told him that he
was going to the market.What did Elisha suspect, as innocent as he was? Elisha
permitted him to go. The servant, therefore, went to Naaman and told him that
the master had sent him to collect the money from him. Naaman became happy and
gave the money to Elisha's servant. When Elisha discovered that the servant had
collected the money from Naaman, he became offended and cursed him, and he
became leprous. (2 Kings 5:1-27).
The
Law of Retributive Justice
Whatever
you do, the Holy Spirit will not say anything but do not forget what the
Scriptures says, that whatever you sow, the same will you reap. (Gal 6:7). Because
he said, "For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins
and their iniquities will I remember no more." (Heb 8:12). Remember
that when Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, if the Father had allowed them
to go, there would have been no problem. He cursed the serpent and said,
"...upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat." To the
woman he said, "I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in
sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband,
and he shall rule over thee." God also called Adam and said, "Because
thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of
which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground
for thy sake: in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life. (Gen
3:17). In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return
unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto
dust shalt thou return. (Gen 3:19)." It is this very God who has come
back. Our Lord Jesus Christ has come back to save you. Who will be able to save
you apart from him?
God
Has Now Come To Lead and Rule the World
All
the sins committed right from the time of Adam were all blotted out when our
Lord Jesus Christ came and shed His precious blood upon the cross. When he
said, "It is finished" he had forgiven men of past trespasses. That
is why the Holy Spirit has come today.
That
is why the Trinity God, the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost is one. At first he
came to create the world. He came the second time to redeem the
world. Finally He came to gather together all the children of God, teach them, lead them, save them,
and rule over them.
Your
problem is that you have become accustomed to old wine. When you are told to
forsake tradition, you would resist. But I have to tell you that you will
forsake all traditions. The teaching you receive now is the teaching which had
been at the beginning, which the world received not. But now, the Holy Spirit
has come to teach all men and to lead them to the accurate wisdom of the truth,
so that you may no longer die, nor commit sins.
The
Unification Of The People Of The World
Who is
the black or the white? The Holy Spirit has come to unite all of them together.
What is food to man? The Holy Spirit is everything to you. That goes to confirm
what our Lord Jesus Christ said when Satan told him, "If thou art the Son
of God, command that these stones be made bread." But our Lord Jesus
Christ replied, "It is written, man shall not live by bread alone, but by
every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." (Matt 4:4/Luke
4:4)
You
have also heard that food was made for the belly and the belly for food, but
God shall destroy both it and them. (1 Cor 6:13). God did not
create the body for fornication but for himself; to live in you and to live in
every person. (1 Cor 6:18-19) If the Holy Spirit had not come, the
whole world would have perished completely.
We
should always thank our Lord Jesus Christ, for if he had not come to shed his
precious blood, and promise us the Comforter, what do you think would have
happened in the world? Brethren I do not want to take you further. The golden
text will now be read.
Golden
Text: John 16:13
"Howbeit
when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he
shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak:
and he will shew you things to come."
Brethren
have you heard that? The Holy Spirit has come to teach you everything, and
everything is done by the Holy Spirit. Our Lord Jesus Christ had said, "I
do not speak anything of my own self." (John 5:30) Everything
is spoken by the Father. It is the Holy Spirit who teaches. It is the Holy
Spirit who advises.
Lust
Leads To Sin And Sin Leads To Death
What
brings death unto the people of the world is fornication, falsehood, stealing,
murder, sorcery, indulgence in the preparation of concoction, and other evil
things of the world. What brings about the sins, is the lust for the things of
the world. You rather love material things of the world more than God. Why you
continue to commit these sins is that you have neither received nor practised
the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ.
That is
why Our Lord Jesus Christ said, "Do not think that I will condemn you?
Even Moses, whom you hope on, will condemn you." Our Lord Jesus Christ
told the Jews who professed to have believed in Moses that if they were to
believe in Moses, they would have believed in Him also, because Moses himself
bore testimony about Him. (John 5:45-47). If you were to comply
with the instructions of Our Lord Jesus Christ, there would have been no
problems for any person; for he had taught you not to kill; "do not commit
adultery; do not steal; do not have any other God before me; do not take the
name of the Lord thy God in vain." That is why it is said that our Lord
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. (Heb 13:8). He
had said, "Do not think that I have come to destroy the law and the
prophets. I have come to confirm them. Verily, verily, I say unto you, this
generation will not pass away until everything be fulfilled. Whoever breaks the
least of these commandments and teaches others to break them, will be called
the least in the kingdom of God. But whoever keeps those commandments and
teaches others to keep them will be called the greatest in the kingdom of
God." (Matt 5:17-19). Today the Holy Spirit has come to
teach you, and do not think that I have come to destroy all the teachings and
instructions of our Lord Jesus Christ. You have heard what our Lord
Jesus Christ had said, "For he shall teach you all things and bring to
your remembrance whatsoever I have said unto you."
Righteousness
Is The Only Passport To The Kingdom
The
teaching imparted to you is not a new teaching but the teaching which you and
the world had rejected. It is now incumbent upon you to practise the teachings
of our Lord Jesus Christ. That is why he said, "When he, even the
Spirit of truth comes, he will lead you to the wisdom of truth for he shall not
speak of himself, but whatsoever he had heard, that will he speak to you."
Search properly what is transpiring today, whether you will find any
differences from what our Lord Jesus Christ taught to you. Right from Genesis
to the Revelation of John the Divine, what else do you find apart from the word
of God? Our Lord Jesus Christ said, "If you do not repent of your sins,
you shall perish." He also said, "If your righteousness does not
exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will also
perish." (Matt 5:20).
What
the Church denominations tell you is that once you are able to pay your dues,
you will go to heaven. They also tell you that you have a chair, and a number
of houses in heaven. When our Lord Jesus Christ was asked, "Show us the
kingdom of God," what was his reply? He said, "If I tell you earthly
things and you do not believe, how will you believe when I tell you of heavenly
things." (John 3:12).
If
someone who has never gone to Lagos comes to tell you stories about Lagos and
you listen to such a person, it means you are a fool. The mother of the two
sons of Zebedee went to our Lord Jesus Christ and knelt before him. Our Lord
Jesus Christ asked her, "Woman, what do you want me to do for you?"
The woman replied, "I pray that my two sons should sit with you in your
father's kingdom, one on your right hand, and the other on your left."
What was the reply of our Lord Jesus Christ? He asked, "Are they able to
drink of the cup that I drink, and to be baptized with the baptism wherewithal
I am baptized?" She replied that they are able. And our Lord Jesus Christ
said, "They shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized, but to sit on
my right hand and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to
them for whom it is prepared of my Father." (Matt 20:23).
God
Does Not Know Workers Of Iniquities
But
now, people will come to tell you, if you pay your dues, you will go to heaven;
and if you fail to pay your dues, you will go to hell. Where have you found
such conditions in the Bible? At times you say, let me pray for you, so that
your father may be removed from hell to heaven. Where have you found such a
passage in the Bible?
Our
Lord Jesus Christ had said, "I must work the works of Him who sent me
while it is day; the night cometh, when no man can work." (John 9:4). I
have already told you that if you do not forsake fornication, stealing,
indulgence in the preparation of concoction, hatred, murder, maliciousness, and
all vices, you will not enter into the kingdom of God. That is why it is said,
"Not all those who call me Lord, Lord, will enter into the kingdom of God,
but those who do the will of my Father." (Matt 7:21). Many
will say on that day, "Did I not cast out demons in your name; did I not
make the blind to see, lame to walk, dumb to speak in your name? But I will
say, depart from me, ye workers of iniquity. I have never known you." (Matt
7:23).
Just
as our Lord Jesus Christ came to confirm the words of the prophets, so has the
Holy Spirit come to confirm the words of our Lord Jesus Christ; that His words
are true.
Be
Holy So That You Inherit The Blessing
Our
Lord Jesus Christ had instructed, "Love ye one another." If
you do not love one another, you will have no share in the Kingdom of God.It
is not all Abraham's children who are the children of Abraham. It is not all
the children of Israel that are Israelites; but the children of promise. As I
will tell you now; it is not the white that matters; it is not calling
yourself a Brotherhood that matters; what matters is being Brotherhood in
spirit. If you are led by the Holy Spirit, you will neither indulge in
the preparation of concoction, nor fornicate, nor commit murder, nor commit any
sin. For it is said, "Wherefore henceforth know ye no man after the
flesh." (2 Cor 5:16). I do not know you in the flesh. I only
know you in the spirit. I know that you are indulging in the preparation of
concoction, telling lies, committing murder, stealing, fornicating, hating one
another, sacrificing to idols, consulting oracles, begrudging one another, you
may choose to hide yourself, but one thing is certain and that is, unless you
are holy, you cannot enter the kingdom. I know what you are. If you wish to
institute any court case against any person, you may do so. If you wish to
marry many wives, you may marry. If you wish to look for much money, you may do
so. I know the type of spirit in you; I know you. It is said,
"You should look for a black goat when it is not yet dark."
The
Kingdom Of God Is Love
Our
Lord Jesus Christ had borne eloquent testimony when he said, "Howbeit,
when he, the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you unto the wisdom of
truth." (John 16:13). I have actually led you unto the
wisdom of truth. No sinner has a share in this kingdom of God. This
is a kingdom of love. A lawyer will not enter; a visioner will not
enter; a professor will not enter; an Apostle will not enter; Pastor will not
enter; president will not enter; a Governor will not enter; a Chief will not
enter into the kingdom. It is only love, truth, mercy, meekness and temperance,
righteousness, humility and patience which prevail in the kingdom of God.
The
Church denominations say that if you become a member of their Church, you will
be saved. I do not say that if you enter Brotherhood you will be saved, because
I know that everyone is Brotherhood. Except you are born of water and
spirit, you cannot be saved. Why do you call our Lord Jesus Christ,
"Lord," but reject his teachings? His teachings are true.
Our Lord Jesus Christ is the Son of man, Son of God and God Himself. It
is that same spirit which created man, who personifies in Our Lord Jesus
Christ. It is the same spirit who has come now. This is the end of time. He has
come to rule. No other spirit will come.
The
Wrath Of God Is Upon The Children Of Disobedience
The
Holy Spirit is love, and therefore teaches you the concept of love. He is the
truth and therefore teaches you the concept of truth. He is patience. He is
humility. He is peace. Here, there is no fighting. There is no quarrelling.
There is no anger. All those who commit sin have no share in this kingdom.
Their share is the lake of fire. Whatever you sow, same will you reap. If you
commit any sin, you will suffer as a sinner. You have heard that the wrath of
God has come upon the children of disobedience. And the world is angry about
his own judgement. For it is said, "And the nations were angry, and thy
wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that
thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints,
and them that fear thy name, small and great: and shouldest destroy them which
destroy the earth." (Rev 11:18).
What do
you think about yourself? Human beings are empty. It is only Jehovah God and
His Christ who now reigns throughout the world. It is he who created the world,
heavens and earth and the fullness thereof.
Do not
bow down to idols. There is no ghost. There is no mermaid. There is no
witchcraft. There is no ghost. There is no human being. It is only the Holy
Spirit who reigns. Only listen to him. Do only those things he bids you to do.
Have
Faith In The Lord
Do not
believe in any human being. Only believe in the Holy Spirit from now
henceforth, let your faith be one with him alone. He is in your house. He is
here. Make your request known to him. He is ever ready to help you. That is
exactly what he told Philip when he asked, "Shew us the Father, and it
sufficeth us." Our Lord Jesus Christ replied, "Have I been so long
time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? He that hath seen me had
seen the Father, and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? Believest thou
not that I am in the Father and the Father in me? The words that I speak unto
you I speak not of myself. But the Father that dwelleth in me, He doeth the
works. (John 14:8-11). When you see me, you see the
Father." This is exactly the same thing transpiring now.
Angels
Are Militant In Nature
Do not
seek after the Holy Spirit in the sky. Do not seek after him in the wind. He is
everywhere. Do not go to preach Olumba Olumba Obu. But preach the Holy Spirit.
Do not preach about any human being. Preach the Holy Spirit for that is what
has eluded many people in the world today. Do not look on me. Only look on the
Holy Spirit, because personally, I only look on to the Holy Spirit. He is the
only one who does all the works.
The
Holy Spirit is called the Spirit of Truth. Whatever he says is true. There is no
argument in whatever he says. And our Lord Jesus Christ had said, "At the
end of time the Son of man will send out his angels." (Angels are
different group of persons.) They are soldiers. It is they who kill and
destroy. But the Holy Angel does not commit any atrocity. He is holy. You have
to know that if you do not forsake sins, you cannot go near to the Holy Spirit.
You cannot also enter into the kingdom of God. Very shortly you will
not be able to enter into 34, Ambo Street. You will only stand outside the
gate.
Brethren,
this is the time of the Holy Spirit. Go and preach the news of the Holy Spirit
to all the inhabitants of the world; whether they choose to believe or not.
To
Be Carnally Minded Is Death
It has
been said, "When the Comforter, even the Spirit of truth will
come...." (John 14:26). Go and declare to the world that he
has come. Tell them that the Holy Spirit is love, He is truth, He is mercy, He
is humility, He is grace, He is peace, He is righteousness. He is meekness and
temperance. He teaches us and what he teaches is the truth.
Do not
argue. Do not doubt whatever the Holy Spirit teaches but practise what he has
taught you. When you depart from the teachings of the Holy Spirit, then you are
overshadowed with darkness. For the Holy Spirit both sees far and near. And he
knows what will happen in the end. That is why you are advised to listen to
your spirit. If we walk in the Spirit of God, Gal 5:16) we
shall not perish. But if we walk according to the promptings of the flesh, we
shall perish. (Rom 8:13).
Brethren,
I do not intend to be tedious unto you. It is said, "One stroke of the
cane is sufficient for the wise." Any person who has ears to hear, let him
hear. May God bless His Holy Words. Amen.

of.

the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they

"Howbeit
when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he
shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak:
and he will shew you things to come."
I want
everyone to remain in complete silence. I also want everyone to open his mouth
and sing this chorus. I want everyone to focus his attention on
me. Do not look at any other thing or direction. The song is,
"He has come, He has come, He has come to rule the world. He has come to
save the world. He has come to judge the world. He has come to lead the
world."
Olumba
Olumba Obu, The Comforter, Being God Incarnate, Needs Not Be Taught By Any
Person
Brethren,
what had been mentioned in the song are the qualities of the Holy Spirit. I do
not intend to be tedious unto you but I want to tell you that all the eloquent
testimonies borne by our Lord Jesus Christ about this time have all come to
fulfillment. It is a truism that the man you call Olumba Olumba Obu has
never attended any Bible College or Seminary, neither has he attended any
Church, nor has he ever read the Bible, nor has he been taught by any human
being.
Every
time I have to give testimony about this kingdom of God. It is not clear to you
that this glory does not come from any human being. But this is the promise
which God had made through the mouth of our Lord Jesus Christ. Have you not
heard what he has said, "That the Comforter, even the Spirit of truth,
whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will bring
to your remembrance whatsoever I have said unto you." Look around; have
you seen anything different?
The
Word Of God Will Not Pass Away Until All Are Fulfilled
You,
who were not in the world, during the advent of our Lord Jesus Christ, you have
to revise and recapitulate the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ, and then
compare with what you find in the world today, whether there is anything
different. That is why it is said, "Heaven and earth will pass away, but
the word of God will not pass away, until all be fulfilled." (Matt
5:18,24:35/Mark 13:31).
The
Teaching of Brotherhood Is The Revisitation and Recapitulation Of The Teaching
Of The Christ
People
refer to the teaching of Brotherhood as a new doctrine. How is it a new
teaching? Brotherhood teaches you love; teaches you the truth; teaches you
mercy; teaches you patience; teaches you humility, teaches you forgiving one
another; teaches you meekness and temperance; teaches you long suffering and
all good virtues. Because our Lord Jesus Christ himself is love; He is
the truth; He is mercy; He is peace; He is humility; He is meekness and
temperance; He is long suffering; He is righteousness; He is hope; He is joy;
and He is everything to every man. The chorus you have heard tells you
that the Holy Spirit has come to save the whole world. He has also come to
teach the whole world the wisdom of the truth. He has come to protect all the
inhabitants of the world. He has come to rule the whole world. He has come to
save all the inhabitants of the world. He has come to recreate, and
rebuild us and make us anew. He has come to love every human being. He
has brought perfect peace, which will never depart from you. He has come to
judge every human being. His judgement is true because he himself is the truth.
With the truth He judges. He has not come to kill us; He has not come to punish
us; but He has come to save us; to change and recreate us. He has brought peace
and love unto us.
The
Holy Spirit Is Our Guardian
He
guards and protects us while we are asleep. He guards and protects us while we
are walking along the street. In all ways whatever, He continues to guard and
protect us. He gives us clothes. He provides us with food. He teaches us those
things we did not know. He reminds us of those things we have forgotten. The
Holy Spirit has in effect taught us everything.
The
Holy Spirit has come to teach us everything and bring to our remembrance
whatsoever our Lord Jesus Christ had commanded, so that you may walk in His
footsteps.
The
Christ Came To Preserve Men's Lives
And so
brethren, you have to look around, whether you have not seen all those things
being fulfilled. As we have been told in our first lesson, that the Son of man
has not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. When the disciples
asked, "Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and
consume them, even as Elias did?" (Luke 9:54). Our Lord Jesus
Christ replied, "Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of." His
spirit is the image and likeness of God; for God is love, the truth, meekness
and temperance, humility, patience, long suffering, self-control, mercy,
everlasting life and peace.
Flesh
and blood cannot do this work. It is only the spirit which can do it. That is
why I have been telling you that you should not look at the body. The spirit of
our Lord Jesus Christ was the spirit of love. That is why I say that he was
God. For His spirit was love, His spirit was the truth, peace, grace, everlasting
life, and all other virtues.
John
The Baptist Came In The Power And Spirit Of Elijah (Luke 1:17).
All
that you do are based on the type of spirit with which you come. Elijah
came first; and when John the Baptist came, people sought to know him in the
flesh. But John came in the spirit and the power of Elijah. Our Lord
Jesus Christ came in the spirit of God. He was (and is) God. He came
to save the whole world from death; and from tribulation and from affliction.
That is why he said, "I did not come to judge the world, but to save
it." (John 12:47)
That
is why our Lord Jesus Christ also said, "The Son of man did not come to be
ministered unto but to minister and to give His life a ransom for many."
(Matt 20:28). It was not our Lord Jesus Christ himself, the body that
people saw, which did those works. But the spirit of God in him, known by no
one, was what did everything. That is why He said, "Of myself I can do
nothing. As I hear, I judge, and my judgement is true. For I seek not my own
will but the will of him that sent me." (John 5:30).
The
Concept Of Equality
It was
said that our Lord Jesus Christ went to India to study different disciplines.
He went nowhere but it was the spirit in Him which taught Him everything, and
showed Him everything. When He went to India, He only went to teach the
people. It was in India that He taught them about the concept of equality; that
everyone should be equal. It was then that they planned to kill him for
teaching them the concept of equality.
If
you examine carefully, you will discover that the teaching of our Lord Jesus
Christ did not come from any human being but direct from God. He taught that
man should not resist an evildoer (Mt 5:39); and "if any
person demands that he should walk a mile with him, walk with him two
miles (Mt 5:41); and if a man will sue him at the law court to take
away his coat, let him have his cloak also (Mt 5:40). Love your
enemies and bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, pray for
them that despitefully use you and persecute you (Mt 5:44);
"that you may be the children of your Father who is in heaven: for He
makes His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just
and on the unjust. For if you only love those who love you, what will be your
reward?" (Matt 5:45-46). Have you seen any person who
practices the teachings of Our Lord Jesus Christ? Have you also found a person
teaching others that same lesson? But he had said, "When He, even the
Spirit of truth will come, He will teach you all things and bring to your
remembrance whatsoever He had said unto you."
The
Holy Spirit Has Shown Man Everything
I am
always sympathetic with you; and I also laugh you to scorn when you say that
Brotherhood is not found in the Bible. What testimony did our Lord Jesus Christ
bear. Our Lord Jesus Christ had borne eloquent testimony about this Kingdom of
God. All the testimonies of our Lord Jesus Christ were about the happenings now
invariably the work of the Holy Spirit. He said, "Whoever blasphemes
against the Son of man shall be forgiven but whoever blasphemes against the
Holy Spirit will never be forgiven, in this generation and in the generation to
come." (Matt 12:32). He also said, "It is expedient for
you 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). He
concluded by saying, "When He, even the Spirit of truth will come, He will
lead you to the accurate wisdom of the truth; for He shall not speak of
himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak; and He will shew
you things to come." (John 16:13).
The
Sermons Preached In Brotherhood Are The Words Of God
You are
witnesses to the fact that all the teachings imparted to you do not come from
any human being, nor from the wisdom of the world. They are not from an angel
but simply the words of God. You have attended the University, attended
Seminary; you have gone to European Countries, and other places, have you ever
heard this type of teaching imparted to you? Why is it so? It is because that
Spirit spoken of by our Lord Jesus Christ is the one operating here.
Many
people often say that they have twenty, ten or forty certificates. I have no
certificate and have never attended any school. Many others boast that they can
preach. I cannot preach but it is the Comforter, even the Spirit of truth, who
preaches, and teaches you everything. Because He is the spirit which will never
depart from this world. He has brought peace to the whole world, to both heaven
and earth. He has not come to destroy any man but to save your souls to save
those who are weak and heavy laden (Mt 11:28), those who are sick,
and afflicted, those who are sorrowful, those having different problems; the
outcast and the rejected.
The
Holy Spirit has never been exasperated. He has never quarrelled with any
person. He does not tell lies. He does not deceive any person. He does not kill
or destroy any person. He cannot disgrace any person. He does not steal. He
does not commit fornication. He does not hate any person. When people
erroneously complain that the Holy Spirit is punishing them, I have to tell
them to keep quiet, because they do not understand what they are saying.
The
Christ Has A Virtuous Spirit
Our
Lord Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. (Heb
13:8). Do you remember when He said, "My peace give I unto you. I
have brought peace into the world" (John 14:27). He is
the Spirit of peace. He is the Spirit of power. He is the Spirit of mercy. He
is the Spirit of truth. He is the Spirit of patience. He is the spirit of
humility. He is the spirit of self-control. He is the spirit of joy. He is the
spirit of everlasting life. He is the spirit of good health. He is the spirit
of beauty. He is sinless.
The
Holy Spirit Is A Perfect Being
Whoever
comes to Brotherhood should realise that our Lord Jesus Christ does not seek
for any warfare. He has come to redeem you. He has come to comfort you. He has
come to give peace unto you. When you are sad, he will console you. When you
are confused, he will advise you. He has come to guard and protect you. He has
come to wipe away your tears. He has come to change you. He has come to cleanse
you of all sins, so that you may be like him.
Do you
not realise His love for us? Do you not know how He is truthful? Do you not see
how He has healed you of your sickness? There has never been any point in time
when the Holy Spirit came to destroy the world. The Holy Spirit has never told
lies. The Holy Spirit has never deceived any person. The Holy Spirit has never
quarreled with any person. The point is that when you depart from Him, you are
beset with problems.
When
Adam and Eve were with the Holy Spirit in the Garden of Eden, they were given
instructions to eat of all the fruits of the trees in the garden except the fruit
of the tree in the midst of the garden. While they had not eaten of the
forbidden fruit, they were not sick, they were not poor, they were not hungry,
there was no heat of the sun, nor were they drenched by the rain. Man and
beasts lived together. Their trouble started right from the day they ate of the
forbidden fruit, the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. They
were driven out of the Garden of Eden.
I
want to tell you that the Holy Spirit is the Only One. I do not want
to overload you. Let our first lesson be read.
First
Bible Lesson: Luke 9:55-56
"But
He turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of Spirit ye are
of.
For
the Son of Man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they
went to another village."
Brethren,
have you heard that? When Our Lord Jesus Christ wanted to go to Jerusalem, He
passed through one of the Samaritan villages. When He was resisted by the
people, the disciples asked, "Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come
down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?" (Luke 9:54). You
all know who Elijah was. That is why he told them, "Ye know not the manner
of spirit I am of. For the Son of man is not coming to destroy men's lives, but
to save them."
Without
the Holy Spirit There Is No Virtue
Our
mothers cannot save us. Our fathers cannot save us. Our husbands cannot save us
nor can our wives save us, we can only be saved by the Holy Spirit. Wherever
the Holy Spirit is not found, neither peace can be found there, nor love nor mercy
nor grace nor truth. There is no good thing which can be found at such a place.
That is
why our Lord Jesus Christ said, "Except ye be born of water and
spirit" which means except you have the Holy Spirit, you cannot do any
good thing. The flesh has no love. The flesh has no patience. The flesh has no
peace, neither does it seek for peace. The flesh does not tell the truth. It
has no power. That is why our Lord Jesus Christ told his disciples, "If ye
love me, keep my commandments, and I will pray the Father, and He shall give
you another Comforter, that He may abide with you forever. Even the spirit of
truth; whom the world cannot receive because it seeth him not, neither knoweth
him; but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you and shall be in you." (John
14:15-17).
The
Holy Spirit Is The Spirit of Truth
Whoever
has the Holy Spirit cannot commit any sin. The Holy Spirit will never tell
lies. He is the Spirit of truth. He is and will continue to be peace and the
Prince of Peace ad infinitum. He will continue to live forever.
He has neither the origin of days nor the end of life. He is the beginning and
the end. He has no Deputy nor any opponent. He does not hate any person nor
discriminate. He does not require anything from any man. He is not in lack of
anything. He does not impute sins on any person. The Holy Spirit has only come
to save us, and to be merciful unto us, and to wipe away all tears from our
eyes. Of what use is money to the Holy Spirit? Of what use are houses to the
Holy Spirit? Of what use are beautiful women to the Holy Spirit? Of what use
are clothes to the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit has only come to save us, to
redeem us, and to wipe away all tears from our eyes.
I
always feel pity for people who say, "If God answers my request, I will
give him twenty naira." I simply laugh because they have not yet
understood themselves. The Holy Spirit does not want any house. He has come to
save you and to save me. He has also come to regenerate us. He has come to
guard and protect us. He has come to recreate us, redeem us, and lead us in the
path of righteousness.
Only
The Lamb Who Was Slain Could Open The Book
You
have heard that when the angel took up that book, and then asked John,
"Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals
thereof." (Rev 5:2). And no man in heaven nor in earth,
neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
John wept because no man was found worthy to open and read the book, neither to
look thereon. And one of the elders said unto John, "Weep not: behold the
Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book
and to loose the seven seals thereof; for worthy is the Lamb that was slain and
has redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue and people,
and nation." (Rev 5:3-9).
Where
The Spirit Is There Is Liberty (2 Cor 3:17)
The
Holy Spirit has not come to be ministered to but to minister to us; to make us
live in peace and also have everlasting life. That is why our Lord Jesus Christ
said, "...For if I go away I will send him to you. When the Comforter,
even the Spirit of truth will come, He shall teach you all things and bring
unto your remembrance whatsoever I have commanded you." Whoever does not
have the Holy Spirit knows nothing and is unable to do anything.
Wherever
you find people quarrelling amongst themselves, know that the Holy Spirit is
not there. Wherever there is division and segregation, know that the Holy
Spirit is not there. Where there are thieves; the Holy Spirit is not there. It
is said, "God is a Spirit and where the Spirit of God is, there is
liberty." (2 Cor 3:17).
The
Holy Spirit does not require any praises. What song can you sing for the Holy
Spirit? He has only come to save us, and to teach us His ways, and what we are
to do in order to live forever.
It
Is Because Of Man's Frailties That The Holy Spirit Has Come
When a
teacher teaches a student any lesson and the student is unable to understand,
he will be given corporal punishment. Such a thing cannot take place in this
Kingdom of God because no sin is in the Kingdom. That is why every person must
forsake sin. All of you who come before me, and those outside are witnesses to
the fact that I have nothing to do with anything sinful. I
do not see what is sinful, nor associate myself with sins. Our Lord
Jesus Christ saw the weakness and frailties of human beings. That is why he
said, "The Comforter which is the Holy Ghost whom the Father will send in
my name will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance whatsoever I
have taught you." If all of you who come to Brotherhood were to receive
and practise the teachings imparted to you, by now you would have had no
problems.
The
Father, the Word and the Holy Ghost Bear Witness in Heaven*
Do not
say again, when you have headache, that it has been caused by the Holy Spirit.
Do not ever say, when you are sick, that it is because the Holy Spirit has sent
you and you had refused to go, that is why you have been sick. Do not make any
such statement.
It is
said, "We are the children of God but the whole world lieth in
wickedness." (1 John 5:19). The teachings I impart to you
bring peace to you. That is why it is said that He is the Spirit of peace,
Spirit of truth, Spirit of good health, Spirit of hope, Spirit of faith, Spirit
of joy, Spirit of mercy, Spirit of everlasting life. That is why it is also
said that three of them bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word and the
Holy Ghost. The three of them are one. (1 John 5:7).*
This
is the end of time. The Holy Spirit has come as the controller of everything.
He has come as the Father of love. He is the Father of truth. He is the Father
of mercy. He is the Father of humility. He is the Father of grace. He is the
Father of life. He is the Father of power. He is the Father of everlasting life.
Hail!
The Reign of the Holy Spirit
Our
Lord Jesus Christ had said that this generation will not pass away until all
His words are fulfilled (Mt 24:34). Can you not realise that
the Holy Spirit is here on earth working? If He had not come, the world would have
perished. Because He is everything. Whatever is not good, be it water or
something solid He will change into His form or image.
We
must preach the Holy Spirit to the entire world. Whether they believe or not,
we are duty-bound to preach. We must also thank the Father for
the Holy Spirit because, without the Holy Spirit, the world would have
perished.
The
Holy Spirit guards and protects us in our sleep, while travelling, and teaches
us those things we do not know. He teaches us everything; teaches the animal in
the bush, birds in the air and fishes in water. The Holy Spirit is not
like the Universities where you pay thousands of money to acquire knowledge. He
teaches us free of charge because he has come to save us free of charge. He has
come to give us everything free of charge. You have only to surrender yourself
to Him, and listen to Him.
Listen
to the Still Small Voice
That is
a man who has neither attended the University, nor gone to any church, nor
attended any prayer house, nor gone to any place in the world, nor has he
initiated into any society, nor has he had any dealings with any person in the
world. But all the works we see in the world are done by him.
The
Holy Spirit had instructed me in my infancy, not to listen to any person,
because every person in the world is a liar. He said
that I should only listen to him because he alone has the wisdom. All the
things done in Brotherhood are done by him. If Brotherhood were to come from
man, from where is that man? Can you find this type of glory in European
Countries? Can you find this type of glory in India or in America, or in Russia
or in Africa, or in all other places? No matter where you go to, you can never
find similar things as in Brotherhood. Brotherhood has puzzled the whole world.
When you go to America, you are looked at with amazement. When you go to India,
you are looked at with surprise. Any place you may go to, you are being looked
at with amazement. It is the Holy Spirit which is doing everything.
The
Holy Spirit Is All And In All
At your
house, when children disobey their parents they are beaten up. Exactly the same
thing happens between a wife and a husband; between brothers and sisters. But,
here in Brotherhood, have you ever been beaten, has anyone become angry with
you; has any person frowned or become fastidious? In the world, before anything
is done for you, you have to pay for it. But here in Brotherhood everything is
done free of charge for you. No money is got from you. What will the Holy
Spirit use your money for? He is peace. He is life. He is money. He is
everything. He comes with love, peace, life and every other thing.
Some of
you complain that the Holy Spirit is angry with you. What have you done so that
he should be angry with you? When you say that the Holy Spirit has been angry
with a person due to his sin, I have to ask, what can he not do? If anything is
bad, He will change it. He has come to reform and rebuild us.
Without
Faith No Person Can Please The Lord
You
have heard that our Lord Jesus Christ did not do great works in his home town.
Why was that so? It was because of their unbelief. You have also heard that
Paul, during his missionary journey, if he went to a place where the name of
God was blasphemed, he would depart from that place after preaching. (Acts
13:46-51) You have also heard that man is saved by faith. Any
person who has no faith cannot be saved. But who has faith amongst you? Is
there anyone who has not blasphemed, even now, against the Holy Spirit? You ask
him questions and smite him by the cheeks.
Despite
the way human beings treat the Holy Spirit, yet has He no problems. If you have
any problems, you have to search yourself. The Holy Spirit has come with love
and peace, with mercy and grace. What is man? He had said, "I will wipe
away all tears from their eyes." (Rev 21:4). The Holy Spirit
has come to wipe away tears from your eyes and also take away death from you,
in spite of the blasphemous words against him, in spite of the abuses, in spite
of our doubts, in spite of the fact that we continue to tell lies, and steal,
and indulge in the preparation of concoction and charms. More especially to you
who are members, you continue to fight, thereby compelling those outside to
remark, in spite of the teaching of that man, the members continue to quarrel and
fight.
The
Holy Spirit Is Tolerance
Our
Lord Jesus Christ preached in the two cities of Bethsaida and Chorazin. When he
went back to see whether they had repented, he found that they had not repented
and so he cursed and upbraided them. (Matt 11:21). But you have
been in Brotherhood for twenty years. Of what use is your twenty years stay in
Brotherhood? You continue to fight, tell lies, fornicate, steal. Because the
Holy Spirit is never exasperated, He has never beaten you up, He has never
resisted nor reacted to your behaviour. Until eternity, the Holy Spirit has
nothing to do with sins.
The
Holy Spirit is holy. Everything about him is holy. Whatever any person says the
Holy Spirit has no problems. Because he has come to save both the small and
big; both good and evil men; to change everyone; only to love us; to guard and
protect our lives; and also to remind us of all that our Lord Jesus Christ
taught; and to teach us how we should live.
If
each and every one of us were to listen to the prompting of the Holy Spirit,
none of us would have any problems. We would no longer quarrel and fight, be
angry, and commit any act of sin. If we were to count His blessings upon
each and every one of us and His love for us and imputing no sin on us, we
would have known exactly what to do.
The
Holy Spirit Is Not Carnally Minded
Many
visioners tell you that the Holy Spirit requires a soutane from you. What is
the Holy Spirit going to use a soutane for? When you tell a person that the
Holy Spirit has directed that you should build a house for him, realise that it
is not the Holy Spirit. The person is only a liar. When you tell a person that
the Holy Spirit has directed that two of you should get married. God forbid!
That can never be said by the Holy Spirit. If you want to marry, go and marry.
Do not lie that you have been directed by the Holy Spirit. If you beat up your
child and then give as an excuse that it is the Holy Spirit which has directed
you to do so, you should realise that the Holy Spirit does not beat up any person. The
Holy Spirit only changes a person. His duty is to love everyone.
The
Holy Spirit has come with love to save you. He has come with patience to save
you. He has come with truth, mercy, meekness, and temperance, humility and
peace, to save you.
By
Prayer and Supplication Make Your Request Known To God
If you
go to a person to beg, and then tell him that the Holy Spirit has directed you
to beg from him, realise that you have not been sent by the Holy Spirit. Does
the Holy Spirit not teach that you should be satisfied in your position? Does
he not teach you that there is nothing in the world, and therefore you should
not love the world and the things in the world? Does he not teach you,
"believe not in any man, only believe in the Father, and in him
also"? He does not teach that you should go to a person for prayers. He
teaches that you should make your requests known to Him by prayer and
supplications. (Phil 4:6).
Do not
tell any person your problems. The Holy Spirit teaches us everything but
because of your lust for the things of the world, you are carried away.
It is
for your sake that people blaspheme against the name of God. Blasphemy is no
disturbance to the Holy Spirit because the Holy Spirit Himself is Holy and has
nothing to do with anything sinful. He has come to fulfill his will.
The
Holy Spirit Is Everything To Every Man
Whenever
you find a person speaking any evil about Brotherhood, simply pass by for He is
not referring to Brotherhood. Brotherhood does not take injection nor drugs, it
does not indulge in the preparation of concoction and charms; it is not water
at Biakpan that does anything. It is only the Holy Spirit which dwells
everywhere and does everything.
The
Holy Spirit is in water, in water underneath; He is in the land, in the air, in
the forest and everywhere. Each and every one of you should go back and ponder
over this: whether any human being can do the great works you see in the world
today. All sicknesses are healed free of charge by the Holy Spirit. He does not
exact any money for what he does but you continue to collect money from sick
people. He continues to guard and protect you free of charge, but you continue
to get money from people claiming that you are the one protecting them. In
spite of all the sins you commit, does the Holy Spirit bother you?
Craftiness
Is No Wisdom
Remember
Elisha whom God directed to go to Syria to heal Naaman, the leper. When he got
there, He told Naaman to go and wash in Jordan seven times. He replied that he
had just been out of water. But the servant advised that he should do what the
master has bidden him. Naaman then went and dipped himself seven times in the
water and was cleansed. Consequent upon his cure, he brought money and
presented to Elisha. Elisha said that he needed nothing from him. He did not
lust after wealth. This is to show to you the lesson about the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil, which is the problem of the world. When Elisha and
the servant had gone a little away from Naaman, the servant told him that he
was going to the market.What did Elisha suspect, as innocent as he was? Elisha
permitted him to go. The servant, therefore, went to Naaman and told him that
the master had sent him to collect the money from him. Naaman became happy and
gave the money to Elisha's servant. When Elisha discovered that the servant had
collected the money from Naaman, he became offended and cursed him, and he
became leprous. (2 Kings 5:1-27).
The
Law of Retributive Justice
Whatever
you do, the Holy Spirit will not say anything but do not forget what the
Scriptures says, that whatever you sow, the same will you reap. (Gal 6:7). Because
he said, "For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins
and their iniquities will I remember no more." (Heb 8:12). Remember
that when Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, if the Father had allowed them
to go, there would have been no problem. He cursed the serpent and said,
"...upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat." To the
woman he said, "I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in
sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband,
and he shall rule over thee." God also called Adam and said, "Because
thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of
which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground
for thy sake: in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life. (Gen
3:17). In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return
unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto
dust shalt thou return. (Gen 3:19)." It is this very God who has come
back. Our Lord Jesus Christ has come back to save you. Who will be able to save
you apart from him?
God
Has Now Come To Lead and Rule the World
All
the sins committed right from the time of Adam were all blotted out when our
Lord Jesus Christ came and shed His precious blood upon the cross. When he
said, "It is finished" he had forgiven men of past trespasses. That
is why the Holy Spirit has come today.
That
is why the Trinity God, the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost is one. At first he
came to create the world. He came the second time to redeem the
world. Finally He came to gather together all the children of God, teach them, lead them, save them,
and rule over them.
Your
problem is that you have become accustomed to old wine. When you are told to
forsake tradition, you would resist. But I have to tell you that you will
forsake all traditions. The teaching you receive now is the teaching which had
been at the beginning, which the world received not. But now, the Holy Spirit
has come to teach all men and to lead them to the accurate wisdom of the truth,
so that you may no longer die, nor commit sins.
The
Unification Of The People Of The World
Who is
the black or the white? The Holy Spirit has come to unite all of them together.
What is food to man? The Holy Spirit is everything to you. That goes to confirm
what our Lord Jesus Christ said when Satan told him, "If thou art the Son
of God, command that these stones be made bread." But our Lord Jesus
Christ replied, "It is written, man shall not live by bread alone, but by
every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." (Matt 4:4/Luke
4:4)
You
have also heard that food was made for the belly and the belly for food, but
God shall destroy both it and them. (1 Cor 6:13). God did not
create the body for fornication but for himself; to live in you and to live in
every person. (1 Cor 6:18-19) If the Holy Spirit had not come, the
whole world would have perished completely.
We
should always thank our Lord Jesus Christ, for if he had not come to shed his
precious blood, and promise us the Comforter, what do you think would have
happened in the world? Brethren I do not want to take you further. The golden
text will now be read.
Golden
Text: John 16:13
"Howbeit
when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he
shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak:
and he will shew you things to come."
Brethren
have you heard that? The Holy Spirit has come to teach you everything, and
everything is done by the Holy Spirit. Our Lord Jesus Christ had said, "I
do not speak anything of my own self." (John 5:30) Everything
is spoken by the Father. It is the Holy Spirit who teaches. It is the Holy
Spirit who advises.
Lust
Leads To Sin And Sin Leads To Death
What
brings death unto the people of the world is fornication, falsehood, stealing,
murder, sorcery, indulgence in the preparation of concoction, and other evil
things of the world. What brings about the sins, is the lust for the things of
the world. You rather love material things of the world more than God. Why you
continue to commit these sins is that you have neither received nor practised
the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ.
That is
why Our Lord Jesus Christ said, "Do not think that I will condemn you?
Even Moses, whom you hope on, will condemn you." Our Lord Jesus Christ
told the Jews who professed to have believed in Moses that if they were to
believe in Moses, they would have believed in Him also, because Moses himself
bore testimony about Him. (John 5:45-47). If you were to comply
with the instructions of Our Lord Jesus Christ, there would have been no
problems for any person; for he had taught you not to kill; "do not commit
adultery; do not steal; do not have any other God before me; do not take the
name of the Lord thy God in vain." That is why it is said that our Lord
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. (Heb 13:8). He
had said, "Do not think that I have come to destroy the law and the
prophets. I have come to confirm them. Verily, verily, I say unto you, this
generation will not pass away until everything be fulfilled. Whoever breaks the
least of these commandments and teaches others to break them, will be called
the least in the kingdom of God. But whoever keeps those commandments and
teaches others to keep them will be called the greatest in the kingdom of
God." (Matt 5:17-19). Today the Holy Spirit has come to
teach you, and do not think that I have come to destroy all the teachings and
instructions of our Lord Jesus Christ. You have heard what our Lord
Jesus Christ had said, "For he shall teach you all things and bring to
your remembrance whatsoever I have said unto you."
Righteousness
Is The Only Passport To The Kingdom
The
teaching imparted to you is not a new teaching but the teaching which you and
the world had rejected. It is now incumbent upon you to practise the teachings
of our Lord Jesus Christ. That is why he said, "When he, even the
Spirit of truth comes, he will lead you to the wisdom of truth for he shall not
speak of himself, but whatsoever he had heard, that will he speak to you."
Search properly what is transpiring today, whether you will find any
differences from what our Lord Jesus Christ taught to you. Right from Genesis
to the Revelation of John the Divine, what else do you find apart from the word
of God? Our Lord Jesus Christ said, "If you do not repent of your sins,
you shall perish." He also said, "If your righteousness does not
exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will also
perish." (Matt 5:20).
What
the Church denominations tell you is that once you are able to pay your dues,
you will go to heaven. They also tell you that you have a chair, and a number
of houses in heaven. When our Lord Jesus Christ was asked, "Show us the
kingdom of God," what was his reply? He said, "If I tell you earthly
things and you do not believe, how will you believe when I tell you of heavenly
things." (John 3:12).
If
someone who has never gone to Lagos comes to tell you stories about Lagos and
you listen to such a person, it means you are a fool. The mother of the two
sons of Zebedee went to our Lord Jesus Christ and knelt before him. Our Lord
Jesus Christ asked her, "Woman, what do you want me to do for you?"
The woman replied, "I pray that my two sons should sit with you in your
father's kingdom, one on your right hand, and the other on your left."
What was the reply of our Lord Jesus Christ? He asked, "Are they able to
drink of the cup that I drink, and to be baptized with the baptism wherewithal
I am baptized?" She replied that they are able. And our Lord Jesus Christ
said, "They shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized, but to sit on
my right hand and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to
them for whom it is prepared of my Father." (Matt 20:23).
God
Does Not Know Workers Of Iniquities
But
now, people will come to tell you, if you pay your dues, you will go to heaven;
and if you fail to pay your dues, you will go to hell. Where have you found
such conditions in the Bible? At times you say, let me pray for you, so that
your father may be removed from hell to heaven. Where have you found such a
passage in the Bible?
Our
Lord Jesus Christ had said, "I must work the works of Him who sent me
while it is day; the night cometh, when no man can work." (John 9:4). I
have already told you that if you do not forsake fornication, stealing,
indulgence in the preparation of concoction, hatred, murder, maliciousness, and
all vices, you will not enter into the kingdom of God. That is why it is said,
"Not all those who call me Lord, Lord, will enter into the kingdom of God,
but those who do the will of my Father." (Matt 7:21). Many
will say on that day, "Did I not cast out demons in your name; did I not
make the blind to see, lame to walk, dumb to speak in your name? But I will
say, depart from me, ye workers of iniquity. I have never known you." (Matt
7:23).
Just
as our Lord Jesus Christ came to confirm the words of the prophets, so has the
Holy Spirit come to confirm the words of our Lord Jesus Christ; that His words
are true.
Be
Holy So That You Inherit The Blessing
Our
Lord Jesus Christ had instructed, "Love ye one another." If
you do not love one another, you will have no share in the Kingdom of God.It
is not all Abraham's children who are the children of Abraham. It is not all
the children of Israel that are Israelites; but the children of promise. As I
will tell you now; it is not the white that matters; it is not calling
yourself a Brotherhood that matters; what matters is being Brotherhood in
spirit. If you are led by the Holy Spirit, you will neither indulge in
the preparation of concoction, nor fornicate, nor commit murder, nor commit any
sin. For it is said, "Wherefore henceforth know ye no man after the
flesh." (2 Cor 5:16). I do not know you in the flesh. I only
know you in the spirit. I know that you are indulging in the preparation of
concoction, telling lies, committing murder, stealing, fornicating, hating one
another, sacrificing to idols, consulting oracles, begrudging one another, you
may choose to hide yourself, but one thing is certain and that is, unless you
are holy, you cannot enter the kingdom. I know what you are. If you wish to
institute any court case against any person, you may do so. If you wish to
marry many wives, you may marry. If you wish to look for much money, you may do
so. I know the type of spirit in you; I know you. It is said,
"You should look for a black goat when it is not yet dark."
The
Kingdom Of God Is Love
Our
Lord Jesus Christ had borne eloquent testimony when he said, "Howbeit,
when he, the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you unto the wisdom of
truth." (John 16:13). I have actually led you unto the
wisdom of truth. No sinner has a share in this kingdom of God. This
is a kingdom of love. A lawyer will not enter; a visioner will not
enter; a professor will not enter; an Apostle will not enter; Pastor will not
enter; president will not enter; a Governor will not enter; a Chief will not
enter into the kingdom. It is only love, truth, mercy, meekness and temperance,
righteousness, humility and patience which prevail in the kingdom of God.
The
Church denominations say that if you become a member of their Church, you will
be saved. I do not say that if you enter Brotherhood you will be saved, because
I know that everyone is Brotherhood. Except you are born of water and
spirit, you cannot be saved. Why do you call our Lord Jesus Christ,
"Lord," but reject his teachings? His teachings are true.
Our Lord Jesus Christ is the Son of man, Son of God and God Himself. It
is that same spirit which created man, who personifies in Our Lord Jesus
Christ. It is the same spirit who has come now. This is the end of time. He has
come to rule. No other spirit will come.
The
Wrath Of God Is Upon The Children Of Disobedience
The
Holy Spirit is love, and therefore teaches you the concept of love. He is the
truth and therefore teaches you the concept of truth. He is patience. He is
humility. He is peace. Here, there is no fighting. There is no quarrelling.
There is no anger. All those who commit sin have no share in this kingdom.
Their share is the lake of fire. Whatever you sow, same will you reap. If you
commit any sin, you will suffer as a sinner. You have heard that the wrath of
God has come upon the children of disobedience. And the world is angry about
his own judgement. For it is said, "And the nations were angry, and thy
wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that
thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints,
and them that fear thy name, small and great: and shouldest destroy them which
destroy the earth." (Rev 11:18).
What do
you think about yourself? Human beings are empty. It is only Jehovah God and
His Christ who now reigns throughout the world. It is he who created the world,
heavens and earth and the fullness thereof.
Do not
bow down to idols. There is no ghost. There is no mermaid. There is no
witchcraft. There is no ghost. There is no human being. It is only the Holy
Spirit who reigns. Only listen to him. Do only those things he bids you to do.
Have
Faith In The Lord
Do not
believe in any human being. Only believe in the Holy Spirit from now
henceforth, let your faith be one with him alone. He is in your house. He is
here. Make your request known to him. He is ever ready to help you. That is
exactly what he told Philip when he asked, "Shew us the Father, and it
sufficeth us." Our Lord Jesus Christ replied, "Have I been so long
time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? He that hath seen me had
seen the Father, and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? Believest thou
not that I am in the Father and the Father in me? The words that I speak unto
you I speak not of myself. But the Father that dwelleth in me, He doeth the
works. (John 14:8-11). When you see me, you see the
Father." This is exactly the same thing transpiring now.
Angels
Are Militant In Nature
Do not
seek after the Holy Spirit in the sky. Do not seek after him in the wind. He is
everywhere. Do not go to preach Olumba Olumba Obu. But preach the Holy Spirit.
Do not preach about any human being. Preach the Holy Spirit for that is what
has eluded many people in the world today. Do not look on me. Only look on the
Holy Spirit, because personally, I only look on to the Holy Spirit. He is the
only one who does all the works.
The
Holy Spirit is called the Spirit of Truth. Whatever he says is true. There is no
argument in whatever he says. And our Lord Jesus Christ had said, "At the
end of time the Son of man will send out his angels." (Angels are
different group of persons.) They are soldiers. It is they who kill and
destroy. But the Holy Angel does not commit any atrocity. He is holy. You have
to know that if you do not forsake sins, you cannot go near to the Holy Spirit.
You cannot also enter into the kingdom of God. Very shortly you will
not be able to enter into 34, Ambo Street. You will only stand outside the
gate.
Brethren,
this is the time of the Holy Spirit. Go and preach the news of the Holy Spirit
to all the inhabitants of the world; whether they choose to believe or not.
To
Be Carnally Minded Is Death
It has
been said, "When the Comforter, even the Spirit of truth will
come...." (John 14:26). Go and declare to the world that he
has come. Tell them that the Holy Spirit is love, He is truth, He is mercy, He
is humility, He is grace, He is peace, He is righteousness. He is meekness and
temperance. He teaches us and what he teaches is the truth.
Do not
argue. Do not doubt whatever the Holy Spirit teaches but practise what he has
taught you. When you depart from the teachings of the Holy Spirit, then you are
overshadowed with darkness. For the Holy Spirit both sees far and near. And he
knows what will happen in the end. That is why you are advised to listen to
your spirit. If we walk in the Spirit of God, Gal 5:16) we
shall not perish. But if we walk according to the promptings of the flesh, we
shall perish. (Rom 8:13).
Brethren,
I do not intend to be tedious unto you. It is said, "One stroke of the
cane is sufficient for the wise." Any person who has ears to hear, let him
hear. May God bless His Holy Words. Amen.
