Spread these teachings
This address is centered on the principles of
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. I will enumerate all the salient points. It
is important that you take adequate note of them, that you may not be deceived.
The extent of your ignorance about the tenets of Brotherhood of the Cross and
Star is rather surprising. This work qualifies as direct and verbatim report on
this issue. Therefore, it is mandatory for all workers and children of God to
acquire a copy of this publication. It is important that they study it
carefully.
A lot of people profess to be God's own children, yet
the field is white but the harvesters are very few. Equally, so many are eager
to join the fold of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, but what they lack is
the physical connection. How will they be converted without people? This
becomes a pertinent question which must be tackled. I will liken this problem
to the situation recorded in:
Acts of the Apostle
8:30-31.
And Philip ran thither
to him, and heard him read the
prophet Isaiah, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? And he said,
How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would
come up and sit with him.
A lot of souls are prepared to accept the teachings of
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, but how can they, if there is nobody to direct
them? That is why I charge you all to spread the gospel of this
Kingdom.
Ordination
Ordination in
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star can be likened to the admission and
registration into the Christ's Universal Spiritual School of Practical
Christianity. As a student in a school, you will not be
awarded a certificate except you satisfy the necessary requirements of your
course work. Similarly, except an ordained one submits to the teachings
and injunctions of this Kingdom, his boast and pride, are in vain. You
will notice that I ordained you even as "green horns". You need not
mistake this solemn enrolment as an opportunity to ride on others or trample on
the toes of others. If you do, you are misguided. Your ignorance is willful.
Purge yourself of all excesses now, imbibe and practice my injunctions.
The reference below is a proper guide to the conduct
required of the ordained ones.
Matthew 20:25-28
But Jesus called them
unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion
over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. But it shall
not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your
minister; And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant. Even
as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give
his life a ransom for many.
Brotherhood of the
Cross and Star is the new Kingdom of God, not one of the nominal churches. You need not receive formal
Bible or seminary training to be ordained. The
text above also should serve as a guiding compass for you, most especially, as
you perform your functions in the Kingdom.
The Virtues Of A Good
Steward
Pastors(now Bishops) Ejedawe, Okpala Williams, A.E.O.
Ekanem among others have contributed marvelously to the growth of Brotherhood
of the Cross and Star. They have built Bethels, Secretariats and Quarters to
provide accommodation for others. Also, facilities such as generating plants,
boreholes and other conveniences have been provided by them. A tastefully furnished
apartment has been built for the Sole Spiritual Head, Leader Olumba Olumba Obu
among other accomplishments. All these are donated freely and willingly. This
is the Brotherhood spirit which I want you to emulate and display.
You should promote at all times selfless services and
shun discrimination, duping, extortion, egotism, stealing, intrigues, and chaos
in all its ramifications. Put in your best to work in the Kingdom. An
honest steward is humble, simple and loyal. He undertakes wide evangelical journeys.
He is also obedient and shows complete reverence to God. He depends completely
on the Father for spiritual instructions and guidance. A dishonest steward
is he who places premium on visions, Holy Oil, Biakpan water etc. He sells
Father's inscription and His gospels. He abides in vices.
Power of the Kingdom
God has endowed you
with powers. These powers are so tremendous that you need not fear death,
sickness; poverty or hunger. Show appreciation and gratitude to God at all
times. Remit all tithes, charity and freewill
offerings to the Father.
All monies raised in this Kingdom belong of God. Do
not arrogate to yourself the right to spend them. Such monies include, first
and second offerings (blessings), tithe and charity.
Many brethren have suffered the wrath of God for
diverting these monies into their private use. You do not have to tamper with
these monies because, once you raise money in the name of God, it becomes a
direct offering unto Him. Some of the problems you encounter are as a result of
diverting God's fund for other purposes.
Some of these problems
include:
Loss of God's blessing,
Loss of prosperity,
Plagues, like disease, famine and flood and
other natural disasters.
Do not render services
in this Kingdom for money. This is so
because this offense carries similar penalty as stated above. You are
fond of directing all monies like tithe, free-will offerings, and charity
through people to the Father and as such, these monies do not get to their
destination. You should desist from this action. Secondly, people from
time to time, extort money from you. The truth is simple. They use my name (the
Sole Spiritual Head, Leader Olumba Olumba Obu) to deceive you. Take note of
this simple fact today. When they approach you, please turn them down. Read the
text outlined below for a thorough conviction.
Matthew 10:7-10
And as ye go, preach,
saying, The Kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers,
raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. Provide
neither gold nor silver nor brass in your purses; Nor scrip for your journey,
neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of
his meat.
This text also goes to buttress the daily practice in
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. Every service is rendered free. Some of
these free services include:
(a) Baptism,
(b) Healing
(c) Feasting,
(d) Holy oil,
(e) Prayers,
(f) Holy water
(g) Sermons and
(h) Songs, among others.
All these items are your right and entitlement. I
therefore, urge you to pay no fee for these services. To be more explicit:
(a) Healing should be done free.
(b) Feast which is strictly celebrated by another
member in a Bethel must be eaten free.
(c) Holy oil and water must be distributed free
without adding any other form of concoction to it and
(d) Sermons and visions must be delivered free
Now that you are aware of these facts, do not give
your money out to anybody. To this end, be sufficiently warned about the
deceitful visionaries and those who operate Spiritual Hospitals. Their
activities are scandalous. Keep them off. Consequently, this address will
disabuse your minds about the lies these so-called visionaries and spiritual
hospitals' operators tell you. They claim to have diverse inborn powers, just
to instill fear into their victims. They are all false prophets.
The word "vision" has now been substituted
with another word called "Spiritual X-ray." This is because the
Father has condemned charging fees for vision, so the charlatans now call it
"X-ray," so that they may still charge fees. They do not call
whatever money they charge you as fees but as payment for feast. Take note of
this fact. Do not be forced to cough out all you have for a feast. Feast must
be celebrated according to your means. They also collect huge sums of money
from their victims, claiming that the Father has need for them. It should be
known henceforth that I do not request anything from any person. I do
not also authorize anybody to collect money or any other item on my behalf.
This practice is common in spiritual hospitals (Healing Homes). So you are
warned. Deal with them with tact and wisdom.
Those of you who take undue advantage of the
generosity available in Brotherhood are just wasting your time in the fold. You
cannot enjoy the good things that radiate out of the Kingdom, because you have
come only for the bread and fish. To this group, I urge them to turn a new
leaf. To be more explicit, let me elaborate and repeat these facts once again.
All the spiritual hospitals so far established are for commercial purposes.
They register patients and charge them fees. The services rendered are not
free. They are all hirelings and not shepherds. A true Spiritual
Hospital must cater for the in-mates and take care of them gratis
because the Father called you into this Kingdom free of charge. Your money,
beauty or status cannot afford you a place in the Kingdom. Therefore, since you
were called into the Kingdom free of charge you have to glorify God. It is not
proper for you to indulge in fornication, adultery, deceit and other forms of
vices.
Protect jealously, your position(s) in the Kingdom.
Your prominence, status and wealth cannot afford you a chance in the
Kingdom. The purpose of your call is strictly for the glorification of
God and not for fish and bread. It is wrong for you to have forgotten
about the purpose of your call, that is, to glorify God. Instead of indulging
in all forms of vices, glorify God. If you want to overcome these vices in you,
pay your tithe directly to the Father. It could be in the form of cash or kind;
provided it represents one-tenth of your profit.
Rely on the Holy
Spirit
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is not a
worshipper's house; like the shrines, temples, mosque and church. It is the
Kingdom of God. Here, our Lord Jesus Christ is the teacher,
sustainer and guardian. He plans and executes your daily activities. In
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, when you are baptized, you will receive the
Holy Spirit. When you receive the Holy Spirit, you will be able to
practice the injunctions of our Lord Jesus Christ and then He will be your Lord
and Saviour. I mandate you all to spread these good tidings that
the Holy Spirit is here on earth.
Illustration
This is an earthly situation, that will explain a
heavenly one. There was a certain man who established a church. In his church,
the man preached about confession, repentance, baptism, and righteousness but
the people refused to heed. Instead, the congregation stayed in the church to
quarrel, commit fornication, sow seed of discord, and commit all forms of
vices. Despite the abominable life of the members, at the end of the day, the
founder of the church would tell the members that God has blessed them all. The
members, on hearing that, would leap for joy and proclaim that the church was
the best for them and they reaffirmed their continuous membership.
The Pastor never suspended or dismissed any person
from his church; rather, he willingly accepted whosoever opted for membership.
The members were so happy with the Pastor for not imputing sins on them. The
Pastor was never angry with his congregation; he never hated any of them. He
did not relent in his effort to preach to them. He also admonished them against
quarrelling, fighting and fornication. He discouraged them from imputing sins
upon their fellow men. They were all urged to keep away from evil practices. In
spite of all these, the members never took him seriously. They continued in
their ways. At the end of every worship, the Pastor would pronounce God's
blessings on all the members.
On a particular occasion, right inside the church,
fighting ensued. A man sustained injury. A policeman was invited and he
arrested some members, while others escaped. The whole place went topsy-turvy.
At this juncture, everybody thought that it was finished with the church.
However, the event was only to fulfill the statement that, "when all hope
is gone, the redeemer appears."
Surprisingly, the following Sunday, the church was
filled to its capacity. All the members assembled with penitent and obedient
hearts. They determined to practice every bit of the gospel preached by the
Pastor. The church was purged of iniquities and only righteousness reigned
supreme.
The story is told in order to strengthen your faith
and enhance your awareness. It explains why it is said that, "all things
work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called
according to His purpose." (Rom 8:28).
When you fall sick, you are apt to say that God is not
in existence otherwise, you would not have fallen sick. The fact that you are
sick does not mean that God does not exist. When you claim that God
does not exist because of your temptation and affliction, you are only
displaying your ignorance. God has always been and shall ever be. When the
going is tough, know that at the end of the experience, there will be progress
and prosperity. It is also my fervent belief that one day, the tide will change
and all of you will also change for good.
The Motive of Christ's
Students/Servants
The Christ's Students and Christ's Servants were
assembled to serve the Father, receive His teachings and practice same. They
were supposed to emulate Him and abide in righteousness, but the reverse was
the case. They constituted themselves into pressure groups and internal
'Police`. They neglected in its entirety, all the teachings and directives of
the Holy Spirit. However, the wind of change blew across Brotherhood of the
Cross and Star and they were not exempted. Now, they are sober, meek and
humble. They are ever ready to render services to God gratis. Righteousness and
self-control are their watchwords.
I predict, at all times, the future of this Kingdom;
but you doubt me. However, these predictions have manifested in several
occasions. For instance, some years ago, I told you that the various fellowships
were established only as a matter of convention and that individuals will
initiate and execute projects in this Kingdom. That has come to pass.
I also told you that a time shall come when brethren shall go abroad on
evangelism. That also has been fulfilled.
The students have always been in the forefront to
introduce new ideas in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star; some of which were
vehemently objected to by others. For instance, the inscription `Leader Olumba
Olumba Obu, the Sole Spiritual Head' was introduced by the Christ's Students.
This idea met with tough resistance from members. The situation would have
resulted into something else but for the intervention of the Father. The
statement in the Bible which states: "But he that shall endure
unto the end, the same shall be saved" (Matthew 24:13)has
been fulfilled.
Christ's Students
Commissioned as Teachers
Those who were regarded as slaves and house-helps are
now my representatives. Having left their parents and material things to serve
the Father, the Father has now exalted them. Accordingly, the Christ's Students
should be accorded the respect they deserve. This is the time they should
occupy their rightful position. Christ's Students Udofia and Mary have now been
fully accredited as the Father's mouthpiece in their respective countries.
Other Christ's Students have been given the full authority to go round the
world and teach members the truth and direct them on the affairs of the
Kingdom. Whoever does not recognize God hates himself.
Christ`s Students have left their parents, relations,
the world and everything therein and followed the Father for twenty-two (22)
years now. They are therefore, the only group that is properly versed with the
correct way by which things are done in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. They
alone resemble the Father because they came here to learn and have graduated.
Whosoever receives them receives me and whosoever rejects them rejects me.
Things that group(s) and fellowship(s) cannot do, the Christ's students have
been able to do with ease. This is therefore, the time for them to be obeyed,
loved and rewarded. For those who were able to withstand the storm and stand
firm, now is the time for them to be crowned.
Read Romans
8:16-17:
The Spirit itself
beareth witness with our spirits, that we are the children of God: And if
children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that
we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
The above passage goes further to confirm that there
can be no crown without a cross. In other words, there is no regret in
rendering services to the Most High.
There can be no Crown
without Cross
The lesson you should learn is that without cross,
there can be no crown. Brotherhood of the cross and Star is not a place one can
operate with pride. You have to humble yourself and put into practice all the
teachings delivered by the Father in the Kingdom. You have to pass through
tribulation, hatred, hunger and various denials in order to inherit this
Kingdom. The Christ's students have passed through all that and even more. That
is why I have now sent them into the world as teachers and counsellors. When
you see them, you have seen the Holy Father. Whatever your position, you have
to listen to them because they represent the Father. The Christ's students love
the Father so much. There is interplay of love between the Father and the Christ's
students. Therefore, whatever the Holy Father tells them to do, they do not
argue.
In order to inherit the Kingdom of God, one has to
tread the narrow path. The narrow path leads to eternal life. When you
are disgraced and debased, rejoice because it accords you exaltation. When
you are rejected by the world, rejoice, for God has received you. Therefore,
in this Kingdom, if you are despitefully used and persecuted, rejoice. Do not
rejoice in wealth, carnal position or in anything that is material. Everybody
should be ready to carry the cross. This constitutes the fundamental
requirement towards your graduation. Refer to Luke 14:26-27 for
detailed explanation:
If any man come to me,
and hate not his Father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren and
sister, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. And whosoever
doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
Be Benevolent To The
Christ's Students
There is a spiritual
song which has it that you should `sell all you have and follow the Lord.'
Except you surrender everything that you had and follow the Lord, you cannot
inherit the Kingdom of God. That is exactly worthy of emulating. Hence, our
Lord Jesus Christ enjoined:
"Verily, verily I
say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send, receiveth me; and he that
receiveth me receiveth him that sent me." (John 13:20).
It is wrong for you to think that you are being
compelled to be generous to Christ's students. Anything given under such
understanding is not recorded to your credit. Your generosity should be
voluntary and with joy. After-all, they are not paid servants. Whatever you do
to them, you are doing unto me. I am visiting the world in a secret way
(through the Christ's students) just as I have said. Whosoever conquers shall
be crowned. That is exactly what has happened with the students.
Classification Of
Membership
The students will not say anything of their own.
Whatever they hear from the Father, same shall they declare unto you. Any
person or Bethel that obeys them shall have peace and progress, and God shall
not depart from them. The Christ's students are now peace-makers.
The different names: the Christ's Students, Christ's
Servants, Christ's Practical Students and the rest of the groupings, have
different meanings and assignments.
Facts about
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star
The first important
thing that must be known and noted in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is that
all tithe, freewill offering, and charity belong to the Father. Such monies must not be used for any administrative or other
purposes. If your Bethel organizes a launching, from the amount
realized, one tenth of it should be forwarded to the Father as
tithe. Whatever God has blessed you with: crops, animals or
children, etc, you have to surrender the tenth of it to God as tithe. This is
not, in any way, done through compulsion. It is a means of expressing a
thankful heart. This is not the kind of tithe which a visioner mandates you to
pay. Supposing somebody earns N20.00 a month, if a visioner directs that he
pays a tithe of N20.00; is that one tenth of that amount, or is God a Father of
confusion? This goes to prove how heartless some of these visioners are. Tithe
is nothing but a covenant reached between an individual and God. No other
person should know about it. See (Malachi 3:10).
Bring ye all the
tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me
now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of
heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to
receive it.
Whosoever does not practice Brotherhood according to
its tenets and rules, cannot experience its beauty; and the blessings of God
elude him. What God has done to mankind is so great that we should not hesitate
to show appreciation to Him.
Mutual Co-operation,
Love and Understanding
Here in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, there
should be co-existence, mutual co-existence, love, oneness, and mutual
understanding. It has been said that the duty of the servants of God is to seek
for the good of others, as written in Matthew 23:11: `But
he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
Judging from the above reason, I choose you so
that you will serve and not to be served. If you do this, then the
world would see the glory of God.
In Brotherhood of the
Cross and Star, nobody would have been sick, no person should have lacked and
there should have been no lamentation, if the Word of God were to be practiced.
All of you have rejected the Word of God. I have brought you these teachings so
that you may change. If you endeavor to pay your tithe regularly and
promptly with whatever God has given you, then you will have peace of mind, and
the glory of God will be manifested in you.
Other Facts About
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star
In Brotherhood of the
Cross and Star, there is no orchestration, no burning of candles and incenses,
no incantation, no perfumery, no bathing at midnight, no offering of prayers at
designated places and no invocation. Once you believe and
get baptized, our Lord Jesus Christ abides in you, and you have therefore,
obtained salvation.
Baptism in
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star has no specific
time. Once a person is ready for it, arrangement
should be made to get him baptized. A baptized member of Brotherhood of
the Cross and Star, whether man or woman is free and have been authorized to
baptize another.
Many members have circumvented these guidelines and
have delegated authority to themselves to baptize in their bethels, such people
fixed time which is favorable to them. This is wrong, as this arrangement
creates avenue for them to charge a fee. A handful of persons will not
be able to baptize the entire world. That is why all baptized Brotherhood have
the mandate to convert and baptize others.
Mark 16:16
"He that
believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be
damned."
This is the judgement. In this wise, baptism should
not be restricted. As many people as possible should get into the world and
baptize people, so that they may evade the judgement. Once a person is
baptized, he receives the Holy Spirit; and it is this Spirit that will teach
him everything.
You are living witnesses to the happenings in this
Kingdom. Accordingly, you are charged to go out and teach the world how to love
one another.
Brotherhood of the
Cross and Star Decries Idleness
Nobody should be idle or lazy. Every person should be
gainfully employed . This Kingdom does not permit idleness, stealing, laziness
and begging. You are free to engage in farming, trading, fishing, or any other
profession.
God has healed you of your infirmities and has already
fed you. You have to appreciate and compliment that gesture. In
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, we neither drink, nor offer same to anybody.
We do not go to the hospital or consult oracles. Neither do we snuff nor
indulge in any form of vice. Whatever your problems, if you confess your sins
and knock your head on the ground, your problems will surely be taken away.
God dwells in
everything and this is the time of transformation. Mankind will be removed from
sinfulness to sinlessness. Therefore,
whatever happens to you, know that it has a particular purpose to fulfill.
How Do I Solve My
Problems?
The solution to all your problems lies in the
following:
(a) Confession of sins,
(b) Fasting,
(c) Praying,
(d) Feasting and evangelical work (Ministry work and
Preaching).
The charge that is
given to all of you now is to go out and preach the gospel to the world. That does
not stop you from engaging in your normal profession or trade. If you are a farmer, a trader, a civil servant or fisherman,
continue with your work. After each day's job, endeavour to go out and
preach to the world to forsake sins and convert them unto God. Do not
force any person to repent because there is not force in Brotherhood.
Everything is done willingly and in love. Whosoever does not want to repent and
serve God, leave him alone for he has not erred. Whoever does not want to fast
and pray, do not force him as well.
God Requires a
Thankful Heart
If all the members of
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star were to love one another, all problems would
have been subjected to them. If you were to appreciate the love of God towards
you, and His protection at all times, you would not fail to show a thankful
heart - by paying your tithes regularly. All along, you had
been consulting oracles, taking drugs (modern or native) and preparing charms,
you paid heavily for all these, yet you had no peace. In Brotherhood of the
Cross and Star, all problems are subjected to you. Poverty and afflictions are
all forgotten issues, yet you do not praise God, why?
You cannot claim to
love God, if you do not love your brethren. (1 John 4:20). If you show benevolence to your fellow brother, you will be
rewarded accordingly. This is confirmed in:
Matthew 10:41-42:
He that receiveth a
prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that
receiveth a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward. And whosoever
shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in
the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his
reward.
Success Through
Obedience
Now, everybody has got to emulate the Father
and resemble Him. You have to refrain from fornication, anger, hatred and
other vices. Do not imitate any member. If you emulate the Father and practice
His injunctions, you will surely witness the glory of God in you.
Your wife, your husband, your children, your relations
and all your friends shall disappoint you but the Father will never disappoint
you forever. In any case, it is not the pleasure of your parents, friends or
relations to disappoint you. They, being slaves, cannot liberate you.
They cannot therefore, help you because they themselves are afflicted and in
need of salvation. They definitely cannot offer you what they do
not possess (Nemo dat quot non habiet). The Father has come to liberate
you and to remove you from bondage.
This is a new world where everything is new. No one
should live according to the dictates of the flesh. Always listen to
the spirit. If you do whatever the Father does not sanction, it will not
work out well. Whatever the Father tells you to do, do not hesitate. Do
not toy with the words of the Father. Re-educate others on these facts. Your
problem is that you do not heed to the Father's instruction. You stand, when he
charges you to sit; and when He tells you to stand, you start moving. Note very
well that, all things shall pass away but not a jot of the words of God shall
pass away without being fulfilled. (Matt 5:18).
Decentralization of
Pentecostal Centres
There should be no
division or discrimination no matter the multitude. You all are sheep under one
shepherd. The decentralization of Pentecostal Centres is done so that those who
cannot pay their fares to Calabar can equally enjoy the activities in their
localities. This is also to fulfill the words of the Scriptures which states :
"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations..." (Matt 28:19).
The Pentecostal Centres are, therefore, no Kingdoms or
empires carved out for certain persons. Everything belongs to the Father. You
are at liberty to attend any Pentecostal Centre.
If your spirit tells you to commit fornication or
adultery or any other vice at all, do not obey such a spirit; for it comes from
the flesh. Any instruction that does not conform with the teachings in this
Kingdom should be shunned. No person should claim superiority due to his
wealth, knowledge or status. We are one in the Lord. The Holy Spirit is the
greatest and yet, the most humble. We should, therefore, emulate Him.
Nobody should disobey the Leader's Representatives, or
any other person kept in a position of authority. Whosoever receives and obeys
them, receives and obeys me. If you love any person, it is the Father you love.
If you curse and abuse any person, know that you are doing same to the Father.
There should be no quarrel, discrimination and hatred in Brotherhood of the
Cross and Star, because we are Brethren.
Do not charge for any
spiritual work
Your problem is that you charge a fee for whatever
service you render. A hired (paid) servant is not a good servant but a laborer.
Those who know what they are doing in the Kingdom do not receive any form of
gratification, nor charge a fee or allowance. If you work for money, you are
not a good shepherd and your sheep will not hearken to your instructions. This
is so because, they will regard you as their servant and paid laborer. That is
why the Bible has instructed us to carry nothing while on evangelical tour; for
the laborer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house (See Luke
10:4 & 7).
If anybody should have faith and believe in God, and
practice the injunction above, such a person will surely experience the
manifestation of the glory of God in him. Try God, for He will prove
Himself. If you serve God diligently, He will also serve you conscientiously.
If you doubt Him, He will depart from you. If you present yourself as the
mouthpiece of God but collect money from people, you have mortgaged your
respect. I am giving you this training so that you will go out and teach
the world.
A Functional Body
Our Lord Jesus Christ
had only twelve disciples, who went about
propagating His name by preaching the Gospel. Similarly, this is what you are
supposed to do. You were not meant to be stationed in one place and force
people to accept God and serve Him. One would not repent because of the
amount of Gospel that is preached to him or because of the service that you
render to him. You could be benevolent to somebody and would endeavour to
render services to him, yet he would not repent. The person who would repent
needs very little Gospel, and within a twinkle of an eye, he would repent.
You err when you say that there is no ordained person
in your Bethel or town. The whole of Israel had Samuel as the only prophet.
Before Samuel, Eli was the only prophet in Israel. The ordination you witness
here is just a matter of formality. The only thing you have to hold
fast is the Word of God. That is the key to salvation and eternal life.
It is My desire that professionals from
various fields should form themselves into organized fellowships where they
will perform their roles to the society as a body. So far, the doctors, the
accountants, the lawyers, and even the traditional rulers have formed
their functional bodies. All others who have not formed theirs
should do so. Accordingly, these fellowships should work as a
functional body for the purpose of good governance.
Reward The Preachers:
Since creation this is
the first time the Father has come by Himself to change mankind!!!
It is stated in Galatians 6:6 that:
Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all
good things.
It is good to serve God rather than Satan. If you are
kind and obedient to the Christ's Students, you will be rewarded. Most of you
show appreciation to the visioners and leave the preachers and their words. You
fail to reason that whosoever gives you the word of God, gives you
eternal life.
All the bethels have
to do things the way they are done in the Headquarters. Learn from the Christ's
Students for they are the ones to teach.
Matthew chapter 10
verse 37 states that:
He that loveth father
or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter
more than me is not worthy of me.
In order to be worthy of Him, you have to
"hate" yourself, your parents, your friends, and every mundane thing.
The greatest of all things is to surrender one's self for the service of God.
Whatever group you belong, practice the sermon. Do not
demand a fee for your service. Do not crave to be a Christ's Student. But love
and obey them. Romans 5:19 confirms this fact as it
states: For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by
the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
Equally, by loving the
Christ's Students, you stand blessed by the Father. Whatever you have, and can
do for them, do it; for some rewards await you.
The Christ's Students have fulfilled the necessary requirements
in this Kingdom. They have to reap their reward. Henceforth, I beseech
you to behave as people who have received the recondite wisdom from The Sole
Spiritual Head, Leader Olumba Olumba Obu.
The Word Of God
Supersedes All Things:
If you reject the teachings given by the Holy Father,
you are a rebel. It is said that you should be kind and benevolent to the
preachers. Whatever you give unto them is not too much. Your gift could only be
accepted by the preacher as a form of appreciation, not a fee. Do not allow the
Christ's Students to suffer just as the disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ did.
Since the disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ were not properly catered for,
they had to go into peoples fields and pluck corn for their meals. (Refer to Matthew
12:1 for confirmation.) It is therefore your duty to support them
all. Christ's Students should be respected and cared for whenever they come to
your respective Bethels. May the Lord Bless His Holy Words. A-men!
