YOU KNOW NOT WHERE YOU ARE?
If you search the scriptures it is written "THOUGH
JESUS WAS KNOWN IN THE FLESH BUT AFTER HIM, KNOW
WE NO MAN IN THE FLESH." (2 Cor 5:16).
Recall when the Pharisees asked Him when the
kingdom of God should come. He said: "THE KINGDOM OF
GOD COMETH NOT BY OBSERVATION, NEITHER SHALL MEN
SAY, LO! HERE! OR, LO THERE! FOR, BEHOLD, THE INGDOMIS WITHIN YOU." (Luke 17:20-21)
You err when you say, "I want to see the Father and
dialogue with Him; or I want to give Him a letter."

HE IS SUFFICIENT UNTO ALL. HE ISTHE SOLE
SPIRITUAL HEAD.HE LIVES IN YOU, IN YOUR CHILD,
IN YOUR GOAT, FOWL, FISH, TREES, AND IS
OMNIPRESENT. IMMEDIATELY YOU DIAL HIS
TELEPHONE NUMBER, WHATEVER HE TELLS YOU IS
FINAL. THERE IS NOBODY WHO HAS NOT SEEN HIM.
HE DIRECTS YOU NOT TO DO ONE THING OR THE
OTHER; HE APPROVES OF WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO WHICH
HE HAS PERFECTED; AND ONCE YOU HAVE FAITH YOU
HAVE SOLVED ALL THINGS.BUT ONCE YOU DON'T BELIEVE
WHAT YOU ARE TOLD THAT, "ALL IS WELL," EITHER
SPIRITUALLY, OR PHYSICALLY THEN WHAT IS YOUR
WORTH? AND WHY DO YOU EVEN COME HERE? THIS IS THE
RECONDITE WISDOM OF GOD.
Faith goes with works. God does not require your money,
beauty or handsomeness; nor does he require your fluent
talk, or any other thing you possess;GOD REQUIRES THAT
YOU SHOULD BELIEVE FERVENTLY IN YOUR HEART THAT
AS YOU ARE SITTING DOWN THE FATHER IS WITH YOU. HE
REQUIRES THAT YOU SHOULD BELIEVE THAT WHATEVER
YOU WANT THE FATHER HAS BESTOWED ON YOU. YOU
SHOULD BELIEVE THAT AS YOU ARE WALKING OR
TALKING, HE WALKS WITH YOU, HEARS YOU AND HAS
ACCOMPLISHED ALL THINGS. THAT IS WHAT HE REQUIRES
FROM YOU. The Bible says: "It is fulfilled unto you according
to your measure of faith."

WHENEVER YOU NEED THE FATHER, GO INTO YOUR
BEDROOM AND CONVERSE WITH THE FATHER AND HE WILL
SURELY GIVE YOU THE ANSWER.DON'T BOTHER TO WRITE
A LETTER; BUT BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART THAT THEFATHER HAS ACCOMPLISHED YOUR REQUESTS; ONCE YOU
DO THAT IT WILL BE FULFILLED ACCORDINGLY. WHATEVER
ONE SEES WITH HIS EYES IS NO FAITH. BUT SUCH A THING
SOMEBODY DOES NOT SEE YET HE BELIEVES, THAT IS
FAITH. (Heb 11:1). If you want to know what Brotherhood
means, don't come here; but have that faith, believe
fervently that the Father is with you and has taken away
your problems and has granted all your requests; once you
act in this way it will be fulfilled accordingly.
REMEMBER WHAT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST TOLD ONE
OF HIS DISCIPLES. "BLESSED IS HE WHO DOES NOT SEE
BUT YET BELIEVES." (JOHN 20:29) TO BEHOLD ANYTHING
WITH YOUR EYES IS NOT UNTO FAITH. THE FACT THATYOU DON'T EXPERIENCE MANY MANIFESTATIONS IN YOUR
LIFE IS BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN. BUT IF YOU
GO TO OUT-STATIONS LIKE BRITAIN, AMERICA, ETC. YOU
WILL BE STARTLED BY THE WONDERFUL TESTIMONIES
THEY GIVE. THIS IS POSSIBLE BECAUSE OF THEIR
MEASURE OF FAITH.
SHOULD YOU BEHOLD THE VARIOUS MANIFESTATIONS
OF THE FATHER'S WORKS THERE, YOU WILL CONCLUDE
THAT THE FATHER DOES NOT EXIST IN THIS PART OF THE
GLOBE, NIGERIA.

THE EFFICACY OF FAITH
FIRST BIBLE LESSON: MATTHEW 8:8
"The Centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy
that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word
only, and my servant shall be healed."
SECOND BIBLE LESSON: ROMAN 10:10
"For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and
with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
GOLDEN TEXT: MATTHEW 12:37
"For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words
thou shalt be condemned."
Brethren, that is our spiritual food. First and foremost, I
have instructed you that whenever you come in here you
should fix your gaze at the Red Garment and believe that
your sickness, your court case, lack, poverty, afflictions, and
all your tribulations are gone; by looking at the Red
Garment, whether you were blind, dumb, deaf, impotent;
-
8/2/2019 The Efficacy of Faith First Bible Lesson
8/46
whether you suffered from hypertension, diabetes, anemia,
hemorrhage, as soon as you listen to this gospel and imbibe
same, believe fervently that your problems are solved.
There is wealth, money and employment here, but only
honest and faithful persons are required. Those who have
this belief are looked for. You have heard what the Centurion
says in our first lesson: "Lord, I am not worthy that thou
shouldest come under my roof ": He made this statement
from the bottom of his heart. That was why he added: "But
speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed."
Have you seen the efficacy of faith. That is what is
meant by "God helps those who help themselves." If you
believe in your heart what that means you are okay. It is
with the heart that man believeth in God unto righteousness;
and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
I am grateful to the Father because ninety-nine percentof those in Brotherhood have this type of faith. It is only one
percent of Brotherhood members, made up of new entrants
and a few others, who have no such faith. The ability to have
this faith is not from man but is a consummation of the
scriptures that "They shall believe in Him."
THE FAITH EXERCISED BY THOSE OUTSIDE THE FOLD
IS STRONGER THAN THAT EXPRESSED BY MEMBERS OF
BROTHERHOOD. A GREAT MANY PEOPLE OUTSIDE THE
FOLD REGARD YOU AS REBELS. AT TIMES THEY QUESTION
THE RATIONALE BEHIND YOUR COMING HERE, SINCE YOU
-
8/2/2019 The Efficacy of Faith First Bible Lesson
9/46
LACK FAITH.OTHERS MAINTAIN THAT SINCE THEY HAVE
FAITH THEY DON'T NEED TO BE HERE. THEY, HAVING
DERIVED BENEFITS FROM THEIR FAITH, BECOME PROUD
OF THE FATHER.
So was it in the beginning that God created the world
WITH THE WORD. (Gen 1:3) Our Lord Jesus Christ came and
ministered with THE WORD. What do you think the Holy
Spirit should have used in accomplishing His works? It was
spoken already that THE WORD IS GOD. And if the Word
does all the works, then why not believe that the Word can
give you salvation. The Centurion said to Christ, "Speak the
word only, and my servant shall be healed." The statement
he made was from his heart of hearts. He sincerely believed
in his heart that if Christ should speak, then his servant
would be healed.
EVERYTHING FULFILLS ACCORDING TO ONE'S FAITH
Faith goes with works. God does not require your
money, beauty or handsomeness; nor does he require your
fluent talk, or any other thing you possess; God requires that
you should believe fervently in your heart that as you are
sitting down the Father is with you. He requires that you
should believe that whatever you want the Father has
bestowed on you. You should believe that as you are
walking or talking, He walks with you, hears you and has
accomplished all things. That is what He requires from you.
The Bible says: "It is fulfilled unto you according to your
measure of faith." (Rom 12:3)

In your house the Father is there, and if you believe,
when you knock your head on the ground all your problems
are solved. It will be fulfilled accordingly. That is how you
believe it. But another person may believe that as soon ashe calls on the Father's name his problems are solved; and
when he calls on the Father's name it will be fulfilled
accordingly. That is how that person believes. Another
person may also believe that if he has any problem,
immediately he goes on 6:00 a.m to 6:00 p.m. fasting, his
problems will be over, and it works out accordingly for him.
That is the person's belief. Another person upholds that as
soon as he pays his tithe his problems will be over. Some
other person says: "Immediately I step my feet on 34 Ambo
premises my problems are over," and as soon as he steps
his feet on this precinct he becomes free. Another person
maintains that as soon as he looks unto the Father's face his
encumbrances are over, and as soon as he does that his
difficulties will be over. There may be some other person
who upholds that immediately he comes into the hall and
knocks his head before the altar that his problems will be
solved, and it is fulfilled to him accordingly. There is yet
another person who says, "As soon as I reach the
headquarters, attend evening or morning service and listen
to the Father's gospel, my tribulations will be over;" andwhen he does that his problems become solved.

There is another person who believes that if he is lucky to
have the holy oil (no matter how small the quantity) to
anoint himself; and even though you make a droplet of the
oil into water for him to drink he will be well.
THOSE WHO POSSESS THE TYPE OF FAITH WHICH WAS
EXERCISED BY THE CENTURION ARE OVER ONE HUNDRED
MILLION. THESE PERSONS DON'T BOTHER TO COME HERE
BUT THEY BOAST IN THE FATHER. YOU MAY FIND IT
DIFFICULT TO IDENTIFY THESE PERSONS, BUT THEIR
FAITH IS SO STRONG THAT THE MOUTH CAN'T EXPRESS.
THAT IS WHY THEY DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM. THEY ARE
ALWAYS WITH THE FATHER. AT TIMES THEY MAY NOT
EVEN BAPTIZE. WHAT DRAWS THEM IS FAITH. NO MATTER
THE NUMBER OF DAYS YOU COME HERE IF YOU LACK
FAITH YOU WILL ALWAYS GO EMPTY HANDED.
You have heard what was prophesied before the birth of
John the baptist; "that he shall be great before the sight of
God, and will come in the Spirit of Elijah and will turn the
hearts of parents to the children, and that of children to the
parents and shall cause them to walk according to the
prompting of God. (Luke 1: 15-17) The Father was the one
doing that work and the Father is still at work. Those were
prophecies. It was also prophesied that Christ will inherit
the Crown of Glory in the house of his father, David, and
shall reign for ever and ever. (Luke 1:32). THEREFORE,
-
8/2/2019 The Efficacy of Faith First Bible Lesson
12/46
REALIZE THAT THIS GLORY HAS NO BEGINNING NOR END
AND HE SHALL REMAIN THE KING FOR EVER.
He said: "... The Comforter, even the Holy Spirit of truth,
will teach you all things and shall guide you unto all truth."
(John 14:26) That was a prophecy and that was the truth. It
is also said: "I will write my laws into their hearts; a
neighbour shall not teach a neighbour, neither shall a
brother teach a brother to know God; because from the least
to the greatest, they shall know me; for I will be merciful
unto their unrighteousness and their sins and iniquities will I
remember no more. (Heb 8:10-12 /Jer 31:34) This is a lucky
generation. This is fulfilled according to the words of
prophecy. It does not come because we are good, worthy,
righteous, or faithful and not also that we seek for it. It is
fulfilled in our time because it was prophesied. And those
who are meant to know Him will know Him. It is said that all
those who call upon the name of Jehovah God shall besaved. (Joel 2:32)
THIS IS THE TIME IN WHICH YOU SHOULD CALL UPON
HIM AND RECEIVE SALVATION. THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO
SEEK FOR PRAYERS FROM OTHERS, NEITHER IS IT THE
TIME TO SEEK OIL, BARKS OF TREE, CHARM OR
CONCOCTION. CALL UPON HIS HOLY NAME AND RECEIVE
SALVATION. IT IS BY FAITH THAT THE RIGHTEOUS LIVE. IT
IS NOT BY SHOUTING, OR PRAYING, OR DANCING THAT
YOU RECEIVE SALVATION.

SALVATION COMES TO YOU BY YOUR MEASURE OF FAITH.
There is nobody in this world who believes in Him, and lackseternal life. There is no kind of problem, difficulty or injury
which He cannot take away and cure once you believe in
Him. If you station here in Calabar or Nigeria, without going
out, you will not realize that the inhabitants of the world do
believe in Him.
REMEMBER WHAT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST TOLD ONE
OF HIS DISCIPLES. "BLESSED IS HE WHO DOES NOT SEE
BUT YET BELIEVES." (JOHN 20:29) TO BEHOLD ANYTHING
WITH YOUR EYES IS NOT UNTO FAITH. THE FACT THAT
YOU DON'T EXPERIENCE MANY MANIFESTATIONS IN YOUR
LIFE IS BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN. BUT IF YOU
GO TO OUT-STATIONS LIKE BRITAIN, AMERICA, ETC. YOU
WILL BE STARTLED BY THE WONDERFUL TESTIMONIESTHEY GIVE. THIS IS POSSIBLE BECAUSE OF THEIR
MEASURE OF FAITH.
SHOULD YOU BEHOLD THE VARIOUS MANIFESTATIONS
OF THE FATHER'S WORKS THERE, YOU WILL CONCLUDE
THAT THE FATHER DOES NOT EXIST IN THIS PART OF THE
GLOBE, NIGERIA.
THE FATHER IS HERE IN NIGERIA. HE IS PRESENT
EVERYWHERE. THE FACT IS THAT FAITH DOES ALL THE
WORKS; AND FAITHLESSNESS HAS CAUSED YOU NOT TO
SEE THE FATHER'S MARVELOUS WORKS.

YOU KNOW NOT WHERE YOU ARE?
If you search the scriptures it is written "THOUGHJESUS WAS KNOWN IN THE FLESH BUT AFTER HIM, KNOW
WE NO MAN IN THE FLESH." (2 Cor 5:16). Recall when the
Pharisees asked Him when the kingdom of God should come.
He said: "THE KINGDOM OF GOD COMETH NOT BY
OBSERVATION, NEITHER SHALL MEN SAY, LO! HERE! OR,
LO THERE! FOR, BEHOLD, THE KINGDOM IS WITHIN YOU."
(Luke 17:20-21) You err when you say, "I want to see the
Father and dialogue with Him; or I want to give Him a letter."
Whenever you need the Father, go into your bedroom
and converse with the Father and He will surely give you the
answer. Don't bother to write a letter; but believe in your
heart that the Father has accomplished your requests; once
you do that it will be fulfilled accordingly. Whatever onesees with his eyes is no faith. But such a thing somebody
does not see yet he believes, that is faith. (Heb 11:1).
If you want to know what Brotherhood means, don't come
here; but have that faith, believe fervently that the Father is
with you and has taken away your problems and has grantedall your requests; once you act in this way it will be fulfilled
accordingly.
All those who attended the evening service here on Friday
must have heard the testimony which was given by Christ
-
8/2/2019 The Efficacy of Faith First Bible Lesson
15/46
Witness Ime Akpakpan about the happenings in Cameroons,
and the one which was given by Pastor Umiong about a
Hausa man. If you have heard you would realize that this
thing is not yet clear to you. Christ Witness Ime Akpakpantestified about what happened in Cameroons; that an Indian
drove a motor car which got broken down at a place close to
where the Choirmaster lives. It was reported that the man
tried his best to rectify the fault but it was to no avail. And
the choirmaster fixed Father's photograph at his door panel
which was spotted by the Indian the following day. The man
was said to have been alert when he saw the photograph
and inquired to know who lives there. The choirmaster told
the Indian that he was the occupant of the house, but the
Indian argued that he (choirmaster) was not the occupant of
the house. To the Indian, the choirmaster was a common
man and he wondered how he could get that type of
expensive and sacred picture. The Indian could not hold his
peace, then asked the choirmaster what stage he has
reached and the name of the society he has initiated into.
The choirmaster said he was not a member of any secret
society. The Indian told him that the picture on his door
panel, while in the society he belongs, he can only be seen
by those who must have excelled to 25th "temple" and even
then, at such a level you could only behold the picture veryfar away in the sky as a flame of fire and nobody reaches
there. The man questioned the choirmaster how he managed
to get such a wonderful picture of the Great and sacred
Being.

Pastor Umiong testified that three weeks ago a Hausa man
came into his office and found the Father's enlarged
photograph there, and did something which called his
attention. He said the man stared at the Father's picture forsome time and said to him, "Do you see this man, he is the
ruler of heaven and earth." The man says at Mecca all of
them make request to Him and if He does not approve of
anything nobody can receive same. The man further said
that He is fire, and asked whether people who get closer to
him don't know that they are joking with fire? The Muslim
spoke at length concerning what he knew about the Being
he saw on the photograph. There is nobody in the whole
world except you, who does not know who is in your midst
and where you are. As long as you come here with the
notion that you want to see the Father, does that portray
your knowledge of Him? There is such a person, though you
may promise to give him N100 million so that he could come
here, he will not come. He will refuse on grounds that the
FATHER IS WITH HIM AND WHATEVER HE DESIRES HE
REQUESTS FROM HIM AND RECEIVE SAME. IF THE FATHER
GIVES SOMETHING, THAT IS WHEN YOU RECEIVE IT, BUT
SHOULD HE NOT APPROVE OF YOUR REQUEST YOU HAVE
TO BE PATIENT SINCE THERE IS NO PROBLEM.
When Dr. P.C. Aggarwal came here he was scared. When
queried on why he was scared he said there was a
consuming fire which he could not withstand. What is
required of you in this kingdom is faith. Let our first lesson
be read.

FIRST BIBLE LESSON: MATTHEW 8:8
"The Centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy
that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word
only, and my servant shall be healed."
FAITH DOES MIGHTY WORKS
Amongst you here, how many people have this sort of faith?
But there are millions and one in the world who have this
type of faith, some have never even come in here. There is
no use for somebody to request for water, or holy oil, or any
kind of prayers; there is no need for somebody to say that he
wants to see the Father nor is there any need to write a
letter to the Father, when you have this type of faith.
HE IS SUFFICIENT UNTO ALL. HE IS THE SOLE SPIRITUAL
HEAD. HE LIVES IN YOU, IN YOUR CHILD, IN YOUR GOAT,
FOWL, FISH, TREES, AND IS OMNIPRESENT. IMMEDIATELY
YOU DIAL HIS TELEPHONE NUMBER, WHATEVER HE TELLS
-
8/2/2019 The Efficacy of Faith First Bible Lesson

YOU IS FINAL. THERE IS NOBODY WHO HAS NOT SEEN HIM.
HE DIRECTS YOU NOT TO DO ONE THING OR THE OTHER;
HE APPROVES OF WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO WHICH HE HAS
PERFECTED; AND ONCE YOU HAVE FAITH YOU HAVESOLVED ALL THINGS.BUT ONCE YOU DON'T BELIEVE
WHAT YOU ARE TOLD THAT, "ALL IS WELL," EITHER
SPIRITUALLY, OR PHYSICALLY THEN WHAT IS YOUR
WORTH? AND WHY DO YOU EVEN COME HERE? THIS IS THE
RECONDITE WISDOM OF GOD.
The whites have invented locomotive engines, and
manufactured aeroplanes, jet bombers, etc. but this
phenomenon in question is lavishly seen everywhere. While
standing along the road you are with Him. He goes with
every person, advising, and blessing all. What is expected of
you is to believe in Him. He has not come to dwell with us in
the flesh or to dialogue with us in the flesh. He exists in the
spirit. As you are here if you pick up one of our publications(Father's gospel) and go through, all your problems will be
over. Even mere looking at the Father's picture with faith
takes away your problems. It fulfills to you according to your
measure of faith.
Right now the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit is here. You
have received the Holy Spirit which in-dwells your heart. The
Father is speaking to you; do you believe in Him? Do you
have faith in Him? Does your problem not stem from this?
You are advised to listen to your spirit. At times you
-

intended coming to Calabar because you are ill. But when
He was speaking to you not to come to Calabar for your
illness is over, did you hear? Did you comply with that
instruction? Were you not still bent on going to Calabar?Your prayer does nothing. Your word does nothing. It is faith
which accomplishes the work. A great many have adopted
the Father's decree that when somebody is ill no long prayer
should be offered other than "Go, your sickness is over".
Christ Witness Ime Akpakpan pinpointed that he does not
bother on prayers any longer, and no matter the magnitude
of one's ailment, whether mental derangement, etc. he
would only say "Go, your madness is over," and that patient
will be healed. If somebody has a court case, stand there
and tell him that his court case is squashed. That will be
fulfilled accordingly. That is peculiar to those who have
unshakable faith and strong belief. If somebody tells you
that his wife is barren, just tell him that she has started
putting to birth henceforth, and that will be fulfilled. You
don't need to pray in such cases because there is no need
for prayers.
"God helps those who help themselves" is no other thing
than faith. Once you have faith, no matter your status, if you
tell a job seeker, "Go, you are employed", if he believes, the
same will be done; before he knows what is happening he
will procure a gainful employment. Whichever of you should
make this declaration, it will be fulfilled. But what have you
resorted to doing? Is it not calling on the Father to send
down His power? What is the meaning of that act? It is
-
8/2/2019 The Efficacy of Faith First Bible Lesson
20/46
written that "The leaves of the tree are for the healing of the
nation." (Rev 22:2). Don't you remember the days of the
Apostles? What other thing than the name of Christ did they
use in healing? At all times they would tell an afflicted "Inthe name of Jesus, rise and walk" and that was fulfilled.
Did they pray at all? But now you pray at times and wake
people up, what type of prayers do you think you have been
offering? Does that not connote faithlessness? As you
sometimes shout, "Olumba Olumba Obu," that is not what
we mean. The Bible says, "For with the heart man believeth
unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made
unto salvation." (Rom 10:10) As long as you don't believe in
your heart that by mere calling on that name you receive
salvation, no matter how well you recite that name it profits
you nothing. But those who believe in that name; those who
are faithful in that name, conscious of the fact that the
name can accomplish all things, do not shout nor call itmany times, and before the sound comes out of their mouth
something spectacular will happen.
Those of you who lack faith and disbelieve God, are short of
testimonies but those who have faith have great
testimonies. Such people can dialogue with the Father's
picture; somebody can just thank the Father for what he
receives (even without getting it) and it will be fulfilled. It is
faith which does the work.
There is no need for drinking holy oil or bathe in the Biakpan
water, there is no need for long prayers; you have His
-
8/2/2019 The Efficacy of Faith First Bible Lesson
21/46
telephone number which you have to dial in times of
emergency. Immediately you believe in your heart that there
is no apparition, witch or wizard, sin nor death; when you
believe that you have no problem and declare same, that isthe end of your problems. It does not require any prayer than
what you have heard. If you lack money it is because you
lack faith. But if you believe in your heart and become
convinced that you have money, then money will always be
within your reach. But once you speak negatively "I don't
have money" you will lack money; though you shout at the
top of your voice for people to give you money nobody will
lend you ears.
Have I ever told you there is no wealth here? I continuously
tell you that wealth, money and employment are here, but
honest people are required. You declare now that you don't
have money and it is fulfilled to you as you have said. If you
believe in your heart that there is no juju, charm, mermaid,
apparition, witch or wizard, fetish etc. and that only God
exists, then you would have received righteousness; and
when you speak out your heart it will be fulfilled. Faith is
like a magnet. You intend to board an aircraft which is about
to take off at exactly 9 o'clock, but if in your heart you are
wholly convinced that you will not miss the flight and that
the plane will have to take off when you have boarded, then
the plane will not leave until you are there; and once you get
into the aircraft it will take off. This is what occurred to the
-
8/2/2019 The Efficacy of Faith First Bible Lesson
22/46
Leader's Representative (of Cameroons) at Cameroons. She
testified that no matter who is involved the plane cannot
wait on the tarmac beyond the time it has to take off, but in
her own case the aircraft waited one hour above thescheduled time; and as soon as she boarded the plane it
took off.
I Am Omnipresent
Whenever you tread on road which vehicles do not ply, just
believe in your heart that you will enter a vehicle along that
road and it will be fulfilled accordingly. Neither the driver
nor you will know how it came about but such is what faith
can do. You are suffering and on the other hand imposing
sufferings upon yourself even though you know that the
Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit is here. Why do you fast
and pray in a way that you disturb your next door neighbour?Why do you go to endless ministry works? You have also
celebrated feast to such an extent that you don't know what
to do next. What is the profit derivable from these acts of
yours? Have faith and believe in Him in order to behold His
glory.
I AM AWARE THAT THIS LECTURE IS TOO ADVANCED FOR
YOU BUT THEN YOU HAVE RECEIVED IT. I HAVE GIVEN YOU
THE ABILITY TO RECEIVE IT. I HAVE OPENED YOUR EARS,
EYES AND HAVE BROKEN THE WALLS OF YOUR HEARTS
FOR THESE WORDS TO GO IN AND DWELL.

The songs you render that the Father is at 34 Ambo is
always wrong, the Father is in your house and in your heart;
the Father is with you along the road, He is above and
beneath; the Father is the water and is present everywhere.Who tells you that the Father is stationary at 34 Ambo
Street, Calabar? Is it not faithlessness that causes you to
speak in this manner?
YOU ARE EQUALLY WRONG TO CLAIM THAT THE
FATHER IS HERE ON EARTH. WHO TELLS YOU THAT? I AM
MAKING DECLARATIONS TO YOU FROM THE HIGH
HEAVENS, AND THOSE WORDS ARE HEARD AND RECEIVED
BY ALL THE INHABITANTS OF THE WORLD, ALL CREATIONS
OF GOD AND ALL PLANES OF MANIFEST. THOSE WHO ARE
ASLEEP RECEIVE THE SAME GOSPEL I DELIVER; THOSE IN
THE WATER, THOSE ABOVE, THOSE IN AMERICA, INDIA,
AND ALL COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD, ALL SPIRITS AND
ANGELS AND INDEED ALL CREATIONS OF GOD RECEIVEEXACTLY THESE WORDS.
Nobody has told me this but this is the truth. Why do
you bother yourself having known that the Father is here
with you? Whatever type of problem you have is known to
the Father and He has taken same away. You don't need to
tell somebody your problems. Exercise this faith with strong
belief so that things can work out well. Faithlessness has
always been your problem. You are shouting "Olumba
Olumba Obu!" everywhere and yet He has done all things but
you have always refused to believe and are faithless.

Like those from Asata Bethel, Enugu, I just laugh at them;
perhaps they think I don't know what goes on there. I am
there at Asata and I am here too. Some of them have started
believing now. When you come to me, before I start asking
you questions I have answers ready made with me which are
things I have known already. But when you begin to
enumerate what transpired, to whom are you talking? Are
you talking to the blind or deaf? Let our second lesson be
read.
Second Bible Lesson: Roman 10:10
"For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and
with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
FAITH WORKS LIKE MAGIC
That is the key. This explains why, when the disciples of
Christ could not cure an epileptic patient, they asked Christ
why they could not perform the healing; but Christ said they
lacked faith. And He further said "If ye were to possess faith
even as a mustard seed ye could command a sycamore tree
to be removed from here and be planted at yonder and it will
obey you." (Matt 17:20)
MYSELF AND THE WORLD, WHO LOVES THE OTHER
MOST? DO THE PEOPLE OF WORLD LOVE THEMSELVES? DO
YOU LOVE GOD? BUT I LOVE YOU AND I HAVE COME TO
SAVE YOU. TELL ME WHY I SHOULD LEAD YOU ASTRAY?

At your house people are scared of you, having realized
that you don't believe. Others testify that they have seen the
man who wears Red Garment. At places where they consult
oracles they see "Olumba." When they attempt to kill you itis "Olumba" that will appear. But you don't seem to
recognize His wonderful manifestations. In the wake of this
you always say "I want to go to Calabar and report what you
have done to my Father." What do you mean by "my Father?"
I am convinced that as many millions as believed, the same
are saved; realize that you don't believe.
All those who complain of one trouble, difficulty,
problem or the other, are unbelievers. Those who believe
have no problem, they don't even pray but they move freely
in a problem free milieu. Others outside the fold maintain
that nobody can point any accusing finger at you but you say
that it has been done; you declare that incubus torments you
every night or that you are always bewitched. But those inthe world bear witness that your Father is always with you.
But you make negative statements at all times. Whatever
was your problem as I am here now talking, your problems
are over.
The Holy Spirit does not require your money, wisdom or
anecdotes. He does not long for prayer, fasting, or your
feast. But He expects you to believe in your heart that there
is no witch, apparition, death, lack, tribulations and that all
things are well with you; speak out that you have all things
within your reach and it shall be fulfilled. Even though a

small child from Brotherhood goes into any gathering, that
child is greater than them, and they have to obey him.
WHATEVER TYPE OF CONFERENCE THAT IS ATTENDED BY
EVEN A CHILD BORN TODAY IN BROTHERHOOD, ALL THEATTENDANTS MUST BOW TO THE BABY; IN ADDITION,
NOTHING CAN HARM HIM.
Do you think you are saved because of fasting or
because of the protracted speeches you make, or long
prayers? YOU ARE SAVED OUT OF MERCY AND GRACE.
FAITH SUBSUMES WHAT ONE DOES NOT SEE BUT YET
BELIEVES. BUT SINCE I BELIEVE THAT THE TYPE OF WORK
I DO YOU ARE DOING AND THAT YOU SHALL REMAIN WITH
ME, THOUGH YOU ARGUE THAT NOBODY CAN STAY WITH
GOD, BUT DOES THAT HINDER YOUR STAYING WITH ME?
ARE YOU NOT STAYING WITH ME NOW? YOU ARE DOING
THE WORKS THAT I DO AND I HAVE CHANGED YOU INTO
THE NATURE OF GOD.
It is with the heart you believe unto righteousness and
with the mouth you confess such things and have salvation.
Once you declare that you have relations, brothers, sisters,
employment, etc. don't bother any longer for they will come
easily to you. THE GOSPEL OF YESTERDAY TAUGHT US
THAT WHATEVER IS MEANT FOR A MAN REMAINS HIS OWN.
ONCE YOU BELIEVE THAT YOURS IS YOURS, YOU WILL NOT
STRUGGLE NOR SCRAMBLE FOR THINGS; YOU WILL NOT
TALK NOR MAKE NOISE, NEITHER WILL YOU ENSLAVE
YOURSELF TO SOMEBODY, BEING AWARE THAT YOUR

SHARE WILL BE GIVEN TO YOU IN DUE SEASON; AND IF
YOU DON'T GET IT TODAY YOU MAY GET IT TOMORROW.
Recall the case of the Centurion, he was not a disciple of
Christ yet none of His disciples had his type of faith. He said,
"Lord, I am not worthy that thou should come under my roof:
but speak the word only and my servant shall be healed."
Nobody knew the distance between the Centurion's house
and the place they were, but he (Centurion) requested for
the spoken word. Have you seen what the spoken word can
do?
When you make arrangement to go to America because
your blood relation is sick over there, is where you are not
America? Speak the word and things will be alright. TELL
THAT PERSON THAT AT THAT MOMENT HE IS WELL, AND
THAT WILL BE DONE ACCORDINGLY. CONNECT YOURSELFWITH GOD. GOD IS LOVE, TRUTH, PATIENCE, MERCY,
PEACE, GOODNESS, LONG SUFFERING, MEEKNESS,
LOWLINESS OF THE HEART, ETC. WHEN YOU HAVE THESE
ATTRIBUTES IT MEANS YOU HAVE A LINK WITH GOD. AT
THIS STAGE YOU HAVE NO DISAPPOINTMENT IN ANYTHING
YOU WISH TO DO. How many people always believe that
things are well when the Father says "GO, ALL IS WELL".
Some people argue that the Father is fond of making such
declarations. But all those who believe have never
experienced any problem.

I thank the Holy Spirit for the faith injected into Brethren
from Asata Bethel; they are satisfied with this gospel and
great testimonies abound for all of them. Though they
intended leaving before now, only to be held back in order to
receive this gospel, but now they are happy. Remember that
man who suffered from leprosy. When Jesus met him he
asked, "what wilt thou I shalt do unto thee?" Does it mean
Christ did not know his plight? But it is "with the heart you
believe unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is
made unto salvation." The leper said to Christ: "If thou wilt
cleanse me." And he said: "Be thou cleansed." (Mark 1:40-
41) At that spot the sick man was cleansed. If you lack faith
and you are commanded to be cleansed, it will not work out
because you are faithless.
What of the blind man Bartimaeus? (Mark 10:46). He cried
out: "Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me." Though
the disciples cautioned him not to shout, that did not stop
him. Christ gave him attention. Does that mean he was not
aware of the man's blindness? He asked him "What wilt thou
I shalt do unto thee?" He said: "Lord, that I may receive my
sight," And he said "receive thy sight." And immediately he
received his sight. (Mark 10:45-51) If the man had disagreed,
do you think Christ's command that he should receive his
sight would have worked? FAITH WORKS LIKE MAGIC. IF
ALL OF YOU POSSESS THIS FAITH ALL YOUR PROBLEMS
WILL BE OVER.

WHEN I TOLD YOU THAT THE WAR MISSILES
PRODUCED BY FOUR POWERFUL NATIONS: FRANCE, GREAT
BRITAIN, AMERICA AND SOVIET UNION, WAS FOR NOUGHT,
NOBODY BELIEVED; NOW WHAT HAPPENS?ARE THOSEWAR IMPLEMENTS NOT A WASTE NOW? I stand on the high
heavens and make this declaration to the world that there is
no witch, wizard, apparition, mermaid, fetish, charm, juju,
diabology, and man does not exist. Have you heard any
challenge from any quarters? It is faithlessness that causes
you to believe in these transitory things. There is nothing
which can do any thing good to you.
Your father, mother and the government cannot do anything
for you, but it is your faith which works wonders for you. Our
Lord Jesus Christ said "whoever believeth and is baptized
shall be saved;" (Mark 16:16) and that statement is firm. He
further stated "And these signs shall follow them that
believe; in my name shall they cast out demons; they shallspeak in new tongues; they shall pick up serpents, and if
they drink any deadly thing it shall not hurt them; they shall
place their hands on the sick and they shall recover." (Mark
16:17-18). Have these signs not followed you?
You have heard the testimony of that man who came from
Italy, how he was ill and was taken to many hospitals in
Italy and Paris, yet there was no cure. He was advised to
return to Nigeria. On coming back, as soon as he was
baptized into BCS his ailment was cured. Some of you are
-
8/2/2019 The Efficacy of Faith First Bible Lesson
30/46
still going to hospitals and there are remnants of tablets in
your bags; you are taking enema and going to the juju
doctor, where lies your faith? How many people have heard
this injunction or practiced it? Those who believe are notsick but those who disbelieve are still sick because of
faithlessness. I am aware that all the inhabitants of the
world are saved except a child of perdition.
That confirms the statement of our Lord Jesus Christ in
John 17: 12. "... those that thou gavest me I have kept, and
none of them is lost, but the son of perdition that the
scripture might be fulfilled." You cannot bestow faith on any
person. Faith comes from the heart. When you believe in
your heart you will have righteousness which will empower
you to confess and receive salvation. Brethren I don't intend
to overload you. Let our golden text be read.
Golden Text: Matthew 12:37
"For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words
thou shalt be condemned."
WITH FAITH AND BELIEF, ALL IS WELL
Have you seen that? The Centurion said: "Speak the word
only and my servant shall be healed," and it was fulfilled
accordingly. As you believe in your heart that all is well,
-
8/2/2019 The Efficacy of Faith First Bible Lesson
31/46
declare that all is well, and it will be fulfilled accordingly.
But when you confess that things are not well with you, it
will manifest as you have spoken. Some people maintain
that God loves a group of people and hates the rest. Thosewho believe in Him, it is fulfilled unto them according to
their measure of faith. Those who don't believe lack this
luck because of faithlessness. Those from Biakpan take
their bath in that Biakpan water at all times and their
sicknesses are not cured. But all those who believe that
immediately they bathe in that "wonderful" Biakpan water
their problems will be over, once they do that their problems
become solved.
A certain woman, while going to Biakpan, took with her a
child (her own) who was sick, and at Asaka the child died.
People dissuaded her from continuing the journey since
there was no need going to Biakpan with the corpse of the
child. The woman stood her grounds and continued the
journey to Biakpan in spite of the tragic event. As soon as
she reached the Biakpan community the child came back to
life. Have you seen what faith can do? It is fulfilled unto you
according to your measure of faith. It is with your words you
are saved. If you allow good words to proceed out of your
mouth; if you believe unto righteousness; if you confess
what you believe then salvation has come to you. A great
many people in Brotherhood believe in the existence of
witch, fetish, juju, etc. but conclude that such shaky things
-
8/2/2019 The Efficacy of Faith First Bible Lesson
32/46
cannot affect them. Others maintain that they are still being
worried by wizard, incubus, apparition and diabology. Others
concur what the Father says that there is no witch, wizard,
fetish, mermaid, juju, charms, etc. and such persons arefree. That fulfills the golden text: "By thy words thou shalt
be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned."
You don't get into this kingdom by anything or means but by
faith. Therefore, let us believe and be faithful. You have
troubled yourselves that much, whereas the Father, Son and
Holy Spirit is at work with his angels, spirits, apostles and
all the children of God. Why should you bother yourself
instead of giving testimonies to glorify God. Now you are
struggling hither, thither, complaining to be the bread-
winner for yourself, that means you don't glorify God, you
neither know Him nor have faith in Him.
Believe fervently that all the blessings bestowed on those at
Imo State now, is equally bestowed on you; and those at ImoState have equally received the blessings bestowed on you
now and the inhabitants of the world have also shared in the
blessings equally. Everything boils down to the fact that all
is well. When you believe and confess that all is well, know
that all is well.
It is said that one stroke of the cane is sufficient to the
wise. I don't intend to take you further. He who has ears let
him hear. May God bless His holy words. Amen.
Thank You Holy Father.

FLEE FROM OLD TEACHINGS
BIBLE TEXT: JOHN 2:1-END
THE CONCEPT OF THE OLD WINE AND THE NEW WINE:
Beloved, there is something unique that I want you to
achieve at the end of this lecture. It is a veritable truth that
Our Lord Jesus Christ, throughout His advent, spoke in
parables. We all are aware that if the Father preaches
against the drinking of wine, many people would say the
teaching contradicts those of Our Lord Jesus Christ. This is
because Our Lord Jesus Christ, on one occasion introduced
the drinking of wine. Recall the statement of Our Lord JesusChrist in Luke 5: 36-37:
"And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a
piece of new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both
the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of
the new agreeth not with the old. And no man putteth newwine unto old bottle; else the new wine will burst the
bottles, and be spilled and the bottles, shall perish."
-
8/2/2019 The Efficacy of Faith First Bible Lesson
35/46
The above excerpt contains two parables and if I do not
interpret them, no one can understand. The statement above
does not center on real wine per se. But think of this, if after
being given the first wine, they found out that it was nottasteful, and later, another wine which was tasteful was
given to them, would that not have been their opportunity to
discard the old wine? This would have been the proper thing,
but this, the people did not do because they were satisfied
with the old wine. The new wine, i.e. (THE TEACHINGS OF
CHRIST) was tasteful, but they were unable to drink
(PRACTISE) it, since it was originally from above.
The teachings of Our Lord Jesus Christ were from above,
hence they had no bearing on the teachings of the Scribes
and Pharisees. Since His teachings were from above they
confounded everybody, hence nobody found it easy to
practice such teachings. The said impossibility continues till
date, hence you see the churches that proliferate the entire
world worshipping and calling on Jesus only with their lips
without practicing an iota of His teachings. And it was on
the day Our Lord Jesus Christ changed water into wine that
the whole world was convicted and condemned.
READ LUKE 5:38-39
Aside from the teachings of Our Lord Jesus Christ, all other
teachings are adulterated, for they are the mixture of the
new and old testaments. And since the entire world keeps to
-
8/2/2019 The Efficacy of Faith First Bible Lesson
36/46
the adulterated teachings, it has to a great extent, declined.
But this kingdom shall continue to flourish, following the
fact that it keeps only to the new teachings (NEW
TESTAMENT). So, in the entire world, the only place wherethe new teachings and commandments are duly practised is
here in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star; hence, you see us
being greatly different from the church denominations.
The entire world gets satisfied with the old wine, and ipso
facto, does not need the new one any longer as affirmed in
the scripture. SO, THERE IS NO ORGANIZATION IN THE
WORLD THAT CAN BE COMPARED WITH BROTHERHOOD OF
THE CROSS AND STAR. The entire world is keeping to the
norms of the old age, hence it is condemned. In the entire
world, I know the minds of all men. So no one needs to
report another to me.
Before now, no one came to Brotherhood to stay, instead,
people came in for solutions to their problems. But the
glorious manifestation of the kingdom has now taken a lot of
people unawares. There is nobody who sees the Bible as the
ark of Covenant of God, instead, people regard it as a book
that can be used to do away with foes, sickness, bad
dreams, oppression, bondage, etc. Nobody believes in the
possibility of the manifestation of the word of God as written
in the Bible. The words of the scripture are to be practiced.
IN ORDER THAT YOU STAY ON THE SAFE SIDE DO NOT MIX
UP THE TEACHINGS OF THE OLD AGE WITH THE
-
8/2/2019 The Efficacy of Faith First Bible Lesson
37/46
TEACHINGS OF THE NEW AGE WHICH ARE CHRIST'S
TEACHINGS.
A CURSED PEOPLE: Read Galatians 3:9-14
The orthodox churches lack the Holy Spirit because they are
under the law. And it is said that one cannot be justified by
the law. Once you have faith in God, you are endowed with
the Holy Spirit and you are blessed. Before now, the
orthodox churches affirmed that the Holy Spirit ended on the
Day of Pentecost. Apart from the early disciples and
apostles of Christ, all other people derailed from the path of
rectitude by trampling upon the teachings of Our Lord Jesus
Christ. And if the people of this world do not attach
importance to the teachings of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and
refrain from doubting Him they will suffer the consequences.
Your status and attainment in life notwithstanding, if you
violate the teachings of Christ, you are cursed.
READ GALATIANS 3:15-25
Most Brotherhood of the Cross and Star members still live
under the law. But it is worthy to note that I do not entertain
any law apart from: "LOVE ONE ANOTHER" here. When
Nigeria was under colonial rule, all her affairs were piloted
and regulated by foreigners. But upon her attainment of
independence the reverse became the case. She started
piloting her own affairs. Now that we are a republic,
everything about colonialism is dead and buried.
-
8/2/2019 The Efficacy of Faith First Bible Lesson
38/46
We now operate our own unique administration based on our
environment and experiences. Therefore should any Nigerian
be caught exhibiting any of the colonial norms, values, etc.
the one would be accounted unworthy of this republic.
IN THE SAME MANNER OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST CAME
AND SHED HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD SO AS TO PAVE THE WAY
FOR THE NEW AGE WHICH WE ARE IN NOW. HIS COMING
BROUGHT TO NAUGHT ALL THE NORMS, VALUES AND
TEACHINGS OF THE OLD AGE. THEREFORE IF YOU GO
BACK TO SUCH THINGS YOU ARE NOT WORTHY OF THIS
NEW AGE. IT IS TO THIS END THAT I ALWAYS PITY MOST
OF THE SECRET SOCIETIES, ORTHODOX CHURCHES,
PRAYER HOUSES, ETC. WHO MAKE USE OF THE OLD
TEACHINGS. IF YOU HAVE A RELATION WHO IS STILL A
MEMBER OF SUCH AN ORGANIZATION, IT IS IMPERATIVE
THAT YOU ADVICE HIM OR HER TO CHANGE FOR THE
BETTER. IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO REPENT. HERE INBROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR, WE ARE NOT
UNDER THE LAW, INSTEAD WE STAND BY "LOVE ONE
ANOTHER."
OUR HALLMARK:
Abraham, by faith offered his only son as a sacrifice to God.
He again, by faith, gave one-tenth of his war booties to
Melchizedek, and was blessed. Similar acts occur here in
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star today. So, it is by faith
that we do everything in the kingdom. Love is our watch
word here. It is equally the order of the day in the kingdom.
-
8/2/2019 The Efficacy of Faith First Bible Lesson
39/46
Hence, instead of considering a person's years of
membership, contribution and dedication in the kingdom
before obliging to his requests, we use love to do all things.
But this is what lacks very much in orthodox churches. Thiswe have done because we worship God in spirit and in truth.
But this the churches and people in the world have not done
and they cannot do because they are self-centered. The
entire world has rejected Our Lord Jesus Christ, hence it
suffers severely today.
OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST TOLD A SAMARITAN WOMAN
THAT GOD SHOULD BEST BE WORSHIPPED IN SPIRIT AND
IN TRUTH. (John 4:24). Why then do the people and
churches of the world still embark on pilgrimages to Mecca,
Jerusalem, Rome, etc.? The entire world is blind, as such it
needs a person that sees to lead it. In the world,
observances of traditions is the order of the day. But here in
the kingdom, none of such things is needed. Therefore, if
you are found indulging in them, the angel is always around
to show you the way out. Of a truth, we do not identify with
what obtains in the world. We are one in the kingdom
without any form of distinction, preference, division,
deprivation and inequality.
READ JOHN 1:17 "For the law was given by Moses, but grace
and truth came by Jesus Christ."
-
8/2/2019 The Efficacy of Faith First Bible Lesson
40/46
As many as go by the laws of Moses have perished. And in
order that the children of God be redeemed, Brotherhood of
the Cross and Star has come to lead all to the accurate
knowledge of the truth. What Moses brought into the worldhad condemned the entire world, but the teachings of Christ
has reproved and redeemed the entire world.
If anything that has to do with Christianity is organized in
Nigeria, a member of the Roman Catholic Church will be
appointed the chairman or president on the basis that the
Roman Catholic was the first church ever established in the
world. But the question is can a 'Satan' be appointed
chairman or president of a place, and the place will
function? The knights, bishops, pastors, cardinals and the
distinguished members the other churches are members of
secret societies. It was to this end that when one
conference was held in Cameroon, a certain cult member
also went to attend the said conference. But when thechurch leaders in attendance resented him when he was
identified as a cult member, he openly named most of them
who were also members in several cults. He told them that
it was only Brotherhood members that do not belong to
either groups. So aside from the Brotherhood of the Cross
and Star, no other place worships God in spirit and in truth.
Judging from the practices, behaviors and teachings of Our
Lord Jesus Christ, is there any place in the world that
emulates Christ? All the things men do are greatly different
from the teachings which Christ brought to us. And this
-
8/2/2019 The Efficacy of Faith First Bible Lesson
41/46
lends credence to the fact that the entire world has rejected
the grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ. In fact, but for the
coming of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, the precious
blood which Our Lord Jesus Christ shed would have been tono avail.
READ MATTHEW 5:43-44. "Ye have heard that it hath been
said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor and hate thine enemy. But
I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you
and do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which
despitefully use you and persecute you."
UPHOLD SOUND TEACHINGS:
Our Lord Jesus Christ enjoined us not to resist the evildoers
(Matt 5:39), neither should we hate them. Instead we are
told to love and embrace them so that we may resemble Our
Father who is in heaven. Moses on the other hand enjoined
that we should resist our evil doers and hate them. But thequestion now is, which of the two teachings is more proper?
The latter is practicable in the world as such, no place can
be compared to Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. It is to
this end that you are warned against introducing any old
practices into this unique kingdom.
Read Galatians 5:1-5. "Stand fast therefore in the liberty
wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled
with the yoke of bondage. Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if
ye be circumcised Christ shall profit you nothing. For I
testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a
-
8/2/2019 The Efficacy of Faith First Bible Lesson
42/46
debtor to the whole law. Christ is become of no effect unto
you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen
from grace. For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of
righteousness by faith."
READ ROMANS: 4:13
EVER SINCE YOU CAME IN HERE HAVE YOU SEEN THE
FATHER EXTRACT HIS LESSONS FROM THE OLD
TESTAMENT? THE KINGDOM IS A NEW ONE AS SUCH, NO
OLD PRACTICES SHOULD BE INTRODUCED INTO IT. Once
you are angry, you are under the law. Because at any point
in time the spirit of anger takes control of you, you would
start revenging and resisting evildoers. Upon all that was
done to Our Lord Jesus Christ, He was never perturbed.
What then could be done to you that is above what was done
against Christ, and so would cause you to get angry with
people?
READ GALATIANS 3:27-29.
"For as many as have baptized into Christ have put on
Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond
nor free, there is neither male nor female; for ye are all one
in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's
seed, and heirs according the promise."
WE ARE ALL ONE, THEREFORE RELIGIOUS SYCOPHANTS IN
THE WORLD HAVE TO GET BAPTIZED AND BE PREPARED
FOR THE RULERSHIP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
-
8/2/2019 The Efficacy of Faith First Bible Lesson
43/46
THE PRPHET MOHAMMED, AND OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
INFORMED THE MOSLEMS AND THE CHRISTIANS
RESPECTIVELY, OF THE COMING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, BUT
THEY TOOK IT FOR GRANTED. NOW THEY HAVE ALL SEENTHEIR FOLLY. ONCE THE DESIRED ONENESS IS
ACCOMPLISHED, PEACE WILL PREVAIL ON EARTH.
READ MATTHEW 13: 24-30
It is what a man sows that he reaps. So, instead of imputing
sins on people and resisting an evil doer, you need to mind
your own business and leave people to their ways. This is
what is tenable here in the kingdom. ANY MEMBER OF THE
BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS WHO HAPPENS NOT TO BE
HERE AGAIN WORSHIPPING HAS NOT RESIGNED
WILLINGLY BUT HAS BEEN EJECTED BY THE ANGELS
FOLLOWING HIS WRONG DEEDS AND MISBEHAVIOURS.
READ 2 CORINTHIANS 3:12-17.
"Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great
plainness of speech: And not as Moses which put a veil over
his face, that the children of Israel could not steadfastly
look to the end of that which is abolished. But their minds
were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail
untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail
is done away in christ. but even unto this day, when moses
is read the vail is upon their hearts. nevertheless when it
shall turn to the lord, the vail shall be taken away.
-
8/2/2019 The Efficacy of Faith First Bible Lesson
44/46
Now the lord is the spirit and where the spirit of the lord is
there is liberty.
Beloved have you now realized why the Old Testament is not
tenable here in the kingdom? WITHOUT THE TEACHINGS OF
CHRIST THERE IS NO SALVATION.
It is said a stroke of the cane is enough for the wise. Let
those who have ears hear what the Holy Spirit has imparted
to the entire world. May my peace and blessing abide with
the entire world. Amen.
Thank You Holy Father.
