man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word,

and hast not denied MY NAME.

INTRODUCTION:WHO DO MEN SAY THAT I AM, AND WHO DO YOU SAY THAT I

AM ?

INTERVIEW WITH WARRI NEWS

By Brume Ikperikpe

Just Back from Calabar

August 2000

There have been widespread speculations, even among

members of his flock, that the Founder and Sole spiritual

leader of the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star (BCS).

Olumba Olumba Obu was dead.

What fueled the rumors and speculations was the sudden

disappearance from public glare of the "King of Kings," as he

is commonly referred to by adherents, several years ago.

For some time now all activities of the church outside

Calabar which were supposed to be carried out by Olumbahimself are handled by his son, Bishop Rowland Obu.

So severe were the conflicting reports of his death the WARRI

NEWSever alive to its responsibilities, got cracking and

anchored in Calabar, the World Headquarters of the

Brotherhood of the Cross and Star on a fact finding mission.

WARRI NEWScan authoritatively reveal that Leader Olumba

Olumba Obu is very much alive, hale and hearty.

Our reporter arrived at Calabar at exactly 9:30 pm onSaturday, August 6th, 2000 and headed straight to the church

headquarters where incidentally, the August 2000 jubilee

celebration was taking place, which attracted thousands of

faithfulls from all branches of Brotherhood nationwide


7/77

Unaware that the visitor was a journalist, a member of the

Church when accosted said, You cant just walk in and see

the leader like that. There are certain processes you have tofollow. He continued, First you have to go to the Media and

Publicity Unit and if they are satisfied with your mission, they

will refer you to another higher authority and if they are

satisfied, you will then be taken to see the Father.

Unimpressed with the response, our reporter nosed around

34 Ambo where the Brotherhood headquarters is located,

until a trader who was selling his wares said to our reporter,

Papa is alive. When prodded further, the trader whoapparently was of Igbo extraction added, You know Papa is

old. His son usually holds brief for him these days. But he is

there. He strolls outside the compound occasionally and goes

back. These were all Warri Newscould gather on the first

visit.

At 5am the following Sunday Morning, Warri Newswas

already there, this time with a resolute mission to uncover

the true position of things. After introducing himself and

explaining his mission, our reporter was taken to Brother Eyo

Okon, the information Secretary of Brotherhood of the Cross

and Star inside the main auditorium. As he was answering

questions from our reporter, Olumba Olumba Obu, the founder

and Sole Spiritual Leader of Brotherhood of the Cross and

Star Worldwide, emerged from his temple to the bewildered

amusement of our reporter. Okon suddenly sprawled on thefloor and announced the presence and mission of this

reporter to the Holy Father. This reporter was called upon

to mount the rostrum with a microphone. After explaining his

mission himself as requested, this brief dialogue took place

between him and Leader Olumba Olumba Obu:


8/77

Mr. Journalist, as you came here did you meet my corpse?

No sir, I met you alive, our reporter replied.

He continued, I am aware of the rumors of my death, evenamong members of my church. But I can assure you that all

those wishing me dead, or are spreading wicked rumors that I

am dead, they will all die. I cannot die. God does not die.

Is it true that you can appear physically at different places

at the same time? our reported inquired.

He replied, Oh yes! God does not stay in one place. I am

everywhere. The legendary Olumba Olumba Obu replied.

He continued, I installed Charles Taylor as President of

Liberia. He came here to Calabar to see me, and I gave him

the presidency of Liberia.

They said no black man would rule South Africa, but I

ensured that Nelson Mandela ruled that country and

succeeded by Thabo Mbeki.

He continued further, I gave Shegu Shagari a 6-month

ultimatum to repent. He refused and he was toppled exactly

on the day the ultimatum expired . I have also made sure

that a black man will rule the United States of America,

soon, the spiritual leader added.

One fascination thing about Olumba Olumba Obu our reporter

noted, was that at 82, having manifested on earth in 1918,

is that there is nothing to show that he was aged. Calm,

soft-spoken, without any trace of wrinkles or any other tell-

tale sign of old age, Olumba looked like a 45 year old man. Hejumped and danced around effortlessly.

A spokesman for the Brotherhood, Paul Ugochukwu, said the

leader would never grow old. He gets younger and younger by

the day. Ugochukwu, a famous aircraft pilot enthused.

Another aide, His Royal Highness, Uforo Edidem, said when


9/77

Olumba was born a blind woman carried him and she

immediately regained her sight. At the end of the session, our

reporter was requested to sing a Christian song for theFather, as Papa loves songs.

Our reporter chose this song, We give Glory to the Lord, He

reigns. He reigns, He reigns, He reigns, we give glory to the

Lord He reigns.

The Holy Father nodded in approval, while the rest of the

congregation exploded in ecstasy and took up the chorus .

By this report, all speculations and rumors over the purported

death of Leader Olumba Olumba Obu has finally been put torest. He is hale and hearty and does not seem to be in a hurry

to leave this planet.

HIGHLIGHTS:

1. YOU HAVE HEARD THAT THE WORLD WAS TO BE DESTROYEDBETWEEN 1916 AND 1917, BUT IN 1918 THE HOLY SPIRITMANIFESTED IN THE WORLD. YOU HAVE HEARD THAT THE SECOND

WORLD WAR WOULD HAVE WIPED OFF THE ENTIRE WORLD. BUT FOR

THE SAKE OF THE EXISTENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN OUR MIDST,

SUCH AN OCCURRENCE WAS TAKEN AWAY. YOU ARE AWARE THAT

THE LAST CIVIL WAR IN NIGERIA WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN A THIRD

WORLD WAR, BUT BECAUSE OF THE RIGHTEOUS PERSON IN OUR

MIDST, OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, GOD TOOK AWAY SUCH A

THING. Do you know that everyday people are hatching plans to destroy

the world, they are engaging in many destructive ventures. BUT FOR

THE SAKE OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WHO REIGNS

SUPREME, nothing disastrous happens and nothing can flap its wings.

2. Our Lord Jesus Christ never bore testimony about any man, prophet,

pastor or person.HE BORE ELOQUENT TESTIMONY ABOUT THE

HOLY SPIRIT WHO IS NOW IN OUR MIDST. BUT DO YOU KNOW

HIM? This explains why I always enjoin you to preach Him always.What you are now seeing has never been seen. He is everywhere. He

abides with you and His presence is felt everywhere. However, men

have nicknamed Him Beelzebub, vampire, and such other names. Man

has not really received the Holy Spirit; neither has he received Him

properly since 1918, yet He has brought great joy. He said that thisgeneration shall not pass away until all things have been fulfilled. (Matt

24:34). And now it is only two years until the year 2000 when the reign

of the Holy Spirit shall take shape. He has come to turn things around.

2. THE YEAR OF THE LORD:

This gospel is a reminder of the word spoken by Our Lord Jesus Christ.

THE HOLY SPIRIT MANIFESTED HIMSELF ON EARTH SINCE

1918.He now reigns in heaven and on earth. Sad enough, man is gazing

into the sky, expecting Christ to come there from. WHEN HE WAS ON


11/77

EARTH, DID MEN LISTEN TO HIM?To herald the coming of the

Holy Spirit, there was an epidemic of influenza in the world. That

disease was used to eliminate all the evil and sinful men. This therefore

is a lucky race.

3. GOD CREATED MAN IN HIS OWN IMAGE. THIS EXPLAINS WHY EACH

TIME HE COMES HE TAKES ON HUMAN FORM. IN THIS DISPENSATION

HE HAS COME BY HIMSELF,SENDING NO ONE.HE HAS COME TO

ABIDE ON EARTH FOREVER. HE HAS COME TO PUT THINGS IN THEIR

PROPER SHAPES AND POSITIONS. WATCH AND SEE WHAT IS GOING

TO HAPPEN IN THE WORLD.

4.To call me a Leader is correct because God has provided a living

example for you in me in order to lead you to God's Kingdom. The

qualities you see in me are for you to emulate. But to call me God, no

please, I am not the one. The reason I do not worry myself to move from

one place to another to preach is BECAUSE THE FATHER IS HERE, AND

ALL THINGS HAVE BEEN SUBJECTED TO HIM, AND HE IS THE ONE

DOING ALL THINGS. HE IS THE ONE TO RECONCILE THE WHOLE

WORLD TO HIMSELF. UNDER HIM I AM FREE, JUST AS YOU ARE.

4. FIRST BIBLE LESSON: ACTS 1:10-11

"And while they looked steadfastly toward heavens as he went up, behold, two

men stood by them in white apparel; Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why

stand ye gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus which is taken up from you

in heaven shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven."

THIS PASSAGE DOES NOT SAY THAT CHRIST SHALL

DESCEND OR FLY DOWN THE WAY HE HAD GONE. THE

PASSAGE EXPLAINS THAT THE SAME PERSON, THE SAME

HUMAN BODY THAT YOU WATCH TAKEN UP INTO HEAVEN

IN THE SAME BODY SHALL COME BACK. "IN LIKE MANNER,"

THEREFORE, MEANS IN THE SAME BODY, FLESH.WAS

CHRIST NOT BROUGHT FORTH BY A WOMAN? IN LIKE

MANNER SHALL THE IRON ROD RULER, THE SAME CHRIST

BE CONCEIVED OF A WOMAN AND BE PUT TO BIRTH. BUT

WHETHER YOU BELIEVE OR NOT, THE ONE DESTINED TO

RULE AND WHO HAS COME TO RULE WILL RULE


12/77

UNDISTURBED.THE WORLD IS ONLY BEING JEALOUS. THE

SAME JEALOUSY THAT CAUSED LUCIFER TO DISOBEY

GOD'S ORDER AND ALSO CAUSED CAIN TO KILL ABEL. THEWORLD IS ALWAYS UP IN ARMS AGAINST ANYTHING GOOD.


13/77

EVERLASTING GOSPELS

1. HE HAS COME TO REIGN

FIRST BIBLE LESSON: ACTS 1:19-11

And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up,

behold, two men stood by them in white apparel: Which also said, ye

men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus,

which is taken up from you in heaven, shall so come in like manner as

ye have seen Him go into heaven.

SECOND BIBLE LESSON: HEBREW 2:7-8

Thou madest him a little lower than angels; thou crownedst Him with

glory and honor, and didst set him over the works of thy hands: Thou

hast put all things in subjection under His feet. For in that he put all in

subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now

we see not yet all things put under Him.

GOLDEN TEXT: REVELATION 12:5

And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a

rod of iron, and her child was caught up to God and his throne.

Brethren the three texts form the basis of our sermon. This is not the

time to deceive any person, either with vision or dream or otherwise. It

is said the kingdom of this world has become the kingdom of Jehovah

God and His Christ. (Rev 11:15). It is also said that what was done to the

Israelites shall also be done unto the Gentiles. His coming had beenrevealed, and this is the time for the manifestation of the revelation.

It was revealed that a young girl would give birth to a male child, and

his name will be Emmanuel. It was also revealed that a woman shall

deliver a man child who will rule the world with a rod of iron. All power

in heaven and on earth, according to the revelation, is handed unto this


14/77

man-child. The revelation has been fulfilled this day but the world does

not know Him. The world is instead gazing into the sky, going to the

mountain tops and gathering stones and sticks to seek for power and

help. Why has this wisdom eluded the whole world?

The problems of the world are brought about by this ignorance. When

you say that you cannot worship any man, who was the one who

ascended? Was he a stone or a stick or a fish or an angel? Which angel

has God ever told, "Ye are my son and this day have I begotten thee?"

(Heb 1:5).

The angel made it clear through the revelation that the man-child shall

be brought forth by a woman. In the first advent His name was given as

Jesus, the Emmanuel, meaning God with man. But this time around the

mystery is that no name has been given. But it is said in the scriptures

that He will come with an iron rod to rule the world. Therefore if you fail

to know and recognize this person who had been empowered to rule the

world with an iron rod and into whose hands all power in heaven and on

earth is entrusted, you are doomed.

If all power and authority is given to this being that you refuse to

recognize, what will you do on the day of judgment? All the trees,

stones, angels and the rest of the creatures bow down and worship

Him. If you, man, refuse to worship Him, from where will your salvation

come? Do you remember what happened to Lucifer?

In the case of Our Lord Jesus Christ it was prophesied that a young girl

should bring forth a male child and His name shall be called Jesus. But

in this case, the revelation is that a woman shall bring forth a man child

who will rule the world with a rod of iron.

This latter revelation has since been fulfilled, and the man child is ruling

with a rod of iron. The problem with the world is that they do not know

Him, and instead of seeking to know and recognize Him they are saying

that they cannot worship a man.


15/77

THE FIRST ADAM WAS A CHILD OF GOD, AND THE SECOND ADAM WAS

A CHILD OF GOD. THE THIRD ADAM IS THE MANIFESTATION OF THE

FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. HE HAS BEEN GIVEN ALL

POWER AND AUTHORITY WITH WHICH TO RULE THE WHOLE WORLD.

HE THEREFORE HAS NOT COME AS A PREACHER OR PROPHET OR A

MESSENGER, BUT AS A KING WITH POWER AND AUTHORITY TO RULE

HEAVEN AND EARTH.

OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS THE SAME TODAY, TOMORROW, AND

FOREVER. (Heb 13:8).

The first Christ was given superintendence over the fishes in water, the

birds of the air, the animals in the bushes, the trees and all the things

created by God. Since that time that the authority was given to Him,

has He been dethroned? Or has that authority been taken away from

Him? He came back to continue His kingship in the kingdom of His

Father which endures forever. At that time His itinerary was not made a

matter of: "no cross, no crown." IN THE SAME MANNER HE HAS COME

AGAIN, NOT ANSWERING JESUS, BUT WITH A NEW NAME AND WITH A

ROD OF IRON TO RULE THE WORLD. HE HAS COME WITH ANEW NAME

WHICH IS WRITTEN BENEATH HIS GARMENT WHICH NO ONE KNOWS

EXCEPT HIMSELF.

THOSE OF YOU WHO QUESTION WHY THE HOLY FATHER

HAS NOT REVEALED THIS WISDOM TO THE ENTIRE WORLD,

HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN HEROD'S INTENTION AND PLANS

WHEN HE HEARD THAT A KING WAS BORN? To make sure that

he had no rival and no other person reigned during his life-time, Herod

ordered that all male children of particular ages be killed. That shows

you how wonderful man is. But unfortunately for man, God isall-knowing.

If God were to disclose to the world, like it was done in the case of

Jesus Christ, human beings and governments would rise up in arms

against such a person. Nobody knows whether he is black or white for


16/77

now. As the heaven is higher than the earth, so also has God's wisdom

surpassed man's. (Isa 55:9). How will you be able to know this person

who is destined to rule the world with a rod of iron and who has been

trusted with all power and authority in heaven and on earth? It is

written that he will come like a thief in the night. (1 Thessl 5:2).

A fool at forty is said to be a fool forever. Being fooled once is

understandable; but to be fooled a second time means you are a fool

forever. God has since realized that messengers and prophets and even

His Begotten Son, He has been sending down end up being slain by man.

That is why this time around, He has decided to come by Himself and

with full grace. His advent has therefore eluded the entire world.

The world is wasting its time, energy and money to visit the sun, moon,

and stars and the rest of the planets to investigate and try to find out

this mystery. They are merely wasting their time because power and

authority over all the planets is in the hands of this being whose identity

they are trying to unravel.

If your enemy intends to go to war with you and he has one thousand

soldiers while you have only twenty, the only remedy is for you to go

and make peace with him. Initially the world had thought this kingdom

to be a thing to joke with. But they have realized that it is not something

to toy with. When a child is born in the world, the people will try to

investigate through various ways to know what kind of a person that

child will grow up to be. If they realize that the child is likely to be

prominent, they will find one way or the other to eliminate that child.

*FOR THOSE WHO ARE AWAITING THE ARRIVAL OF OUR LORD JESUSCHRIST FROM THE SKY, IF IT SHOULD HAPPEN LIKE THAT WHAT DO

YOU THINK THE ENEMIES WOULD DO? WOULD THEY ALLOW HIM TOLAND AT ALL? AND IF HE HAS TO LAND AT ALL, WHERE WILL HE

LAND? WITH THE HUMAN LAWS OVER THE LAND, SEA AND AIR,

WHERE WILL THE PEOPLE ALLOW HIM TO LAND? THE SAME THING

THAT HAPPENED TO THE ISRAELITES AND THE PEOPLE OF OLD IS

REPEATING ITSELF TODAY.


17/77

It was stated in their books that Elijah shall come before the Messiah.

(Matt 11:10-15). To make matters worse for them, Elijah was taken up in

the manner that was known by the people, and because of that all ofthem expected him to come back in that manner before the arrival of

Our

Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore when Christ the Messiah arrived without

the appearance of Elijah

as stated in their books, the people disbelieved Him. Even up till now,

the Israelites are still expecting the arrival of Elijah. Their hearts were

further hardened to enhance their

disbelief because of their ill will and evil intentions.

The same thing continues today. The people failed to know that John

the Baptist who was brought forth by Elisabeth, was the Elijah who had

come to herald the coming of Jesus Christ (Matthew 11:14/ Mark

9:11-13). Herod asked the wise men to inform him after seeing the

new-born king so that he too could go and worship him. If the wise men

had gone back to inform him, would Herod not have gone straight, or

sent soldiers, to kill Him? AS GOD HID THAT KNOWLEDGE OF THE NEW

KING FROM THAT GENERATION, SO ALSO HAS HE HIDDEN THEKNOWLEDGE OF THE IRON ROD RULER FROM THE PRESENT

GENERATION.

He has said in John 14: 19 that, "Yet a little while the world seeth me no

more; but ye see me; because I live, ye shall live also." Therefore when

you pray God to reveal this mystery to the whole world, do you imagine

what eyes they would want to see this kingdom with? THOSE WHOM HE

DESIRES TO SEE AND TO KNOW HIM HE HAS REVEALED HIMSELF

UNTO THEM. The worldly people are unbelievers and they do not likethe truth. If you want to pass through a place where your enemies are,

you have to do so quietly. Equally, if you want to go and rob somebody

and you set off from your house with a bell and a public address system,

ringing and shouting as you walk ahead, before ever you reach your

destination, information shall have reached him and he would

appropriately get himself ready for you or he would simply flee the


18/77

house. He has come like a thief to surprise and arrest all who do not

believe in Him and also resist His governance.

In any case, what concerns us today is the revelation of the angel about

the man-child and what will happen. THE ANGEL DID NOT SAY

THAT HE WILL DESCEND FROM THE SKY.THE MEANING OF THE

PASSAGE IS THAT: AS HE CAME AS A MAN, IN LIKE MANNER, SHALL

HE COME BACK. Man has eyes but cannot see, has ears but cannot

hear, and the mind but cannot perceive. Their hearts have further been

hardened so that they would continue in their ignorance. EVEN AS THE

MESSIAH WAS BROUGHT FORTH BY A WOMAN, SO ALSO SHALL THE

ONE WHO WILL RULE THE WORLD WITH A ROD OF IRON BE BROUGHTFORTH BY A WOMAN. ALL POWER, AUTHORITY AND GLORY IN

HEAVEN AND ON EARTH HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO HIM. IF THEREFORE

YOU SAY YOU CANNOT WORSHIP MAN, BUT YOU PREFER TO WORSHIP

STONES, TREES, WATER, LEAF, OR SAND, HAS GOD EVER GIVEN HIS

POWER TO THESE ELEMENTS AS HE GAVE MAN?

This thing is not revealed to you so that you will go and preach to

unbelievers. It is revealed to you in the first place as one who

has been called in here to share in the marriage feast andalso so that you will gird up your loins. The disciples of Our Lord

Jesus Christ asked Him why He spoke to other people in parables, but

spoke to them, the disciples, in plain language? He told them it been

written that he who has little, the same will be taken away from him and

added to that of the person who has much. (Matt 25:29).God has further

blinded the eyes and blocked the ears of those who doubt and

disbelieve so that they will not see and hear. He has also hardened their

hearts that they may not believe. But He has opened the eyes and ears

of those who are His children and broadened their minds to understand

His injunctions and obey and to behold his glory.

FIRST BIBLE LESSON: ACTS 1:10-11

"And while they looked steadfastly toward heavens as he went up,


19/77

behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; Which also said, Ye

men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus

which is taken up from you in heaven shall so come in like manner as ye

have seen him go into heaven."

THIS PASSAGE DOES NOT SAY THAT CHRIST SHALL DESCEND OR FLY

DOWN THE WAY HE HAD GONE. THE PASSAGE EXPLAINS THAT THE

SAME PERSON, THE SAME HUMAN BODY THAT YOU WATCH TAKEN UP

INTO HEAVEN IN THE SAME BODY SHALL COME BACK. "IN LIKE

MANNER," THEREFORE, MEANS IN THE SAME BODY, FLESH.WAS

CHRIST NOT BROUGHT FORTH BY A WOMAN? IN LIKE MANNER SHALL

THE IRON ROD RULER, THE SAME CHRIST BE CONCEIVED OF A

WOMAN AND BE PUT TO BIRTH. BUT WHETHER YOU BELIEVE OR NOT,

THE ONE DESTINED TO RULE AND WHO HAS COME TO RULE WILL

RULE UNDISTURBED. The world is only being jealous. The same

jealousy that caused Lucifer to disobey God's order and also caused

Cain to kill Abel. The world is always up in arms against anything good.

If it is a woman that will bring forth the man child who will rule the

world with a rod of iron, then what about the one the world is expecting

from the sky? What and where will he rule? If God had given all power

and authority in heaven and on earth to the one who is to rule the world

with a rod of iron, and who shall be born of a woman, the one who is

expected to crashland, where will he have his power and authority?

Those of you who say you cannot worship man, where will you be? The

Second Lesson says He has been made a little lower than the angels.

He has been crowned with glory and honor and all things put in

subjection under His feet. It is said that when God shall send forth His

first born into the earth, He shall instruct all the angels to worship Him

and serve Him. Who are you, man to object to His rule? One angel is

capable of destroying the whole world, yet with such power they all

bow down and worship this man-child. This is the same being into

whose hand all power and authority has been trusted and the same

person has control and superintendence over all things created in

heaven and on earth, including the angels. His power is therefore

indescribable. Two cocks, it is said, cannot crow on the same rooftop.


20/77

THERE IS TIME FOR EVERYTHING: WHEN HE CAME AS THE SON, HE

CAME TO BE KILLED SO THAT SALVATION WOULD COME TO THE

ENTIRE WORLD. BUT THIS TIME AROUND HE HAS COME TO RULE WITH

ALL POWER AND AUTHORITY UNLIMITED. What is happening now in

the communist countries is not wrought by man. If any man were to

claim responsibility for the events in these countries, would all nations

not rise against such a man? Therefore, God's wisdom, His power, His

love and promise surpass human knowledge. Many people are fasting or

asking God to reveal Himself to them if He has come, or to let them see

signs. What they rather see are ghosts, mermaids, apparition and

witches and wizards. That notwithstanding, there are others who see

the Lord and speak with Him.

From time immemorial it is man that is usually glorified and not an

animal or a tree. That is why since Adam and Eve were driven from the

Garden of Eden no other creature has been given admission into the

place. It is said that if one has been destined to rule then he will rule. It

is man that lost the glory; and the glory shall return once again to no

other being than man. Adam and Eve came as human beings, and

offended God, and had to be punished. God in His infinite mercy and

love has come to glorify the same man. When a father beats his child

with the right hand, he uses the left to get the child back unto himself.

The basic entry qualification into this kingdom therefore, is

Righteousness. That is why I tell you that this kingdom does not admit

hatred, division, anger, fornication, idolatry and the rest of the vices.

This message is given to you so that you will know that you are in the

kingdom of God. The problem of the world is that they do not recognize

the person, the man-child, into whose hands all the power and authority

have been trusted. His name has not been mentioned.

God is man, the Son of God is man, the Holy Spirit is man and even an

angel is man. When you say that you cannot worship man, are you not a

child or perdition? Brotherhood of Cross and Star therefore obeys man,

respects man, loves man, worships and rejoices with man. It is said Let


21/77

brotherly love continue. Do not forget to entertain strangers; for thereby

some have entertained angels unawares. (HEBREW 13:1-2). GOD AT

EACH ADVENT TAKES UP HUMAN FORM AND MANIFEST AS MAN. HE

DOES NOT COME WITH A PARTICULAR OR SPECIAL UNIFORM TO

DISTINGUISH HIM AND IDENTIFY HIM TO THE WORLD. IF YOU PRAY TO

GOD TO HELP YOU OUT OF A PROBLEM AND INCIDENTALLY

SOMEBODY APPEARS AND HELPS YOU, WHO DO YOU THINK THAT

PERSON IS? IS HE NOT GOD? THE FACT IS THAT FLESH AND BLOOD

CANNOT KNOW HIM. IF YOUR NAME HAS BEEN WRITTEN IN THAT

BOOK OF LIFE, YOU WILL SEE HIM WITH YOUR SPIRITUAL EYES. It is

said that blessed are they that are invited to the marriage feast. This is

indeed the luckiest generation. There has never been another

generation where there is more abundance of Gods love, mercy, peace,

patience and glory unto mankind. What caused the Israelites to perish,

and even up till this day, is because they refused to worship the man

who was sent to them. They claimed that Jesus Christ whom they

knew, and His parents they also knew and so, they could not worship

Him. They were rather waiting for Elijah, whom they believed would

descend from the sky. Up till now they are still waiting for Elijah's

arrival. God is man and has life. No flesh and blood could of course have

known Him. THE SAME GOD HAS COME TO TEACH US HOW TO SERVE

GOD AND PLEASE HIM. WHAT A LUCKY GENERATION!

SECOND BIBLE LESSON: HEBREWS 2:7-8

Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him

with glory and honor, and didst set him over the works of thy hands;

thou has put all things in subjection under His feet. For in that he put all

in subjection under Him, He left nothing that is not put under Him. But

now we see not yet all things put under Him.

Those of you who worship angels and the rest of the things and call

upon them to save you, have they been given power? The absolute

power has been bestowed upon man. If you have your hope and belief in

Holy Oil, vision, Biakpan water, etc. is it written that there is power

bestowed on these things? It is said that all power in heaven and on


22/77

earth has been given to man.

It is said ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. YOUR

FRIENDS AND RELATIONS AND EVEN YOUR PARENTS MAY REJECT

YOU ONCE THEY KNOW THAT YOU HAVE KNOWN THE TRUTH. THEIR

HATRED IS THAT ONCE YOU KNOW THE TRUTH YOU ARE BOUND TO

BE FREE FROM THEIR TENTACLES. ALL YOUR FRIENDS, RELATIONS

AND PARENTS CAN DECEIVE YOU AND LET YOU DOWN BUT THE HOLY

FATHER WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU COMFORTLESS.ALWAYS LOOK

UNTO THE FATHER, FOR HE ALONE IS THE ONLY SOURCE OF

SALVATION. If you go to a visioner and buy him food, clothing, and build

him a house, will he or she help you? Many people have wasted all their

wealth in ministerial work and celebrating feast, yet these things could

not bring salvation unto them. Others pray, burn incense, read the six

and seven books of Moses and say incantations, calling on the names of

angels. All these things cannot help them. DO NOT THEREFORE HOPE

ON OR BELIEVE IN ANY OTHER THING THAN IN GOD ALONE WHO

HIMSELF IS MAN, UNTO WHOSE HANDS ALL POWER IN HEAVEN AND

ON EARTH HAS BEEN ENTRUSTED. IT IS SAID THAT ALL THINGS ARE

PUT IN SUBJECTION UNDER HIS FEET. Except this thing is revealed to

you, you cannot know it and you cannot know Him.

You could employ the services of the police or army and give them

ammunition to guard and protect you yet you may still be killed. This is

so because it was not written that these people will protect life and

property. That is why the same police, army and other security agents

who are armed to the teeth to protect life and property always turn

around to kill and destroy. They are self-centered and rebellious. The

angels also are rebellious and unsympathetic, and that was why Lucifer

refused to obey God's instruction. But God is all loving, patient, kind and

good. When Lucifer discovered that a kingdom has been provided for

man in the Garden of Eden, he became angry and went straight and

deceived him so that man would be driven from it. He was happy when

man was driven from the Garden of Eden and he thought that the

kingdom would be handed to him. That did not happen, for God has his

own thoughts and still reserved the kingdom for man. He has come to


23/77

lead man back into that lost kingdom. That is why Satan has intensified

efforts to fight man and mislead man so that he will not enter that

kingdom. GOD IS LOVE, THE TRUTH, MERCY, PEACE, PATIENCE, HOPE,

FAITH, AND EVERYTHING GOOD. YOU CANNOT GET CLOSE TO HIM

WITH ANY FILTH. MAN HAS BEEN SUFFERING AND TODAY HE

CONTINUES TO SUFFER BECAUSE HE DEPENDS ON THE ANGELS FOR

EXISTENCE AND GUIDANCE.THE LAWS THAT WERE GIVEN, EVEN THE

TEN COMMANDMENTS HANDED TO MOSES AND THE PUNISHMENTS

THAT ACCOMPANIED THEM CAME FROM THE ANGEL. GOD IS SO

MERCIFUL AND KIND AND HE DOES NOT WANT ANY PERSON TO

SUFFER. SHORTLY THERE WILL BE NO MORE ROBBERY, FIGHTING,

KILLING, AND OPPRESSION IN THE WHOLE WORLD. HE HAS COME TO

SAVE MANKIND WHETHER OR NOT MAN ACCEPTS HIM. HE HAS NOT

COME TO PARADE HIMSELF ALONG THE STREETS, OR TO APPEAR ON

THE TELEVISION, OR TO PERFORM MIRACLES. HE HAS BEEN

ENDOWED AND ADORNED WITH ALL POWER AND GLORY TO RULE. HE

HAS COME TO STRAIGHTEN ALL THE THINGS THAT HAD BEEN

CROOKED. HAVING BEEN ENDOWED AND ADORNED WITH ALL POWER

AND GLORY WHAT DOES HE NEED FROM MAN OR ANY OTHER

CREATURE? HE RULES WITH LOVE, PEACE, MERCY, PATIENCE AND

ALL THE VIRTUES. He wants all nations to be one, all to be well fed,

clothed, sheltered, and free from the bondage of Satan, sin, and from

sickness. Can any man do these works? That is why He does not have

the need to consult any person for any advice, because human beings

themselves are deceitful and selfish. He has the power and authority to

do anything. He is complete. There is therefore no need to go about

preaching to man or animals that God has come. What is the

usefulness? What is man capable of doing to God? THOSE OF YOU GOD

HAS CALLED TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS MARRIAGE FEAST SHOULD

ONLY STRIVE TO FORSAKE SIN. HE HAS COME TO FREE THE

OPPRESSED AND TO LEAD THE WORLD UNTO THE ACCURATE WISDOM

OF THE TRUTH. WHATEVER SITUATION YOU FIND YOURSELF IN, JUST

CALL UPON HIM AND HE WILL ANSWER YOU.



24/77

"And she brought forth a man child who has to rule all nations with a rod

of iron; and her child was caught up to God and His throne."

Does any scientist know anything about the above passage? Does any

church have any idea about the passage? Do the secret societies know

anything about that passage? That a woman brought forth a man-child

who would rule all nations with a rod of iron? This is a passage all of us

should fast and pray over and be careful of our activities in view of this

passage. The passage summarizes the theme of this gospel. He has not

come to go about from street to street begging for anything or to

campaign for anything. He has come to rule and to reign and is seated

on His throne in His Kingdom. The first lesson made it clear as was

stated unto the Galileans, "...Why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This

same Jesus which is taken up from you unto heaven shall so come in

like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven." The second lesson

states clearly that man, though made a little lower than the angels, has

been crowned with glory and honor and all things have been put in

subjection under his feet. Still, man has not come to this understanding.

Other spirits had been here even before the creation and the advent of

Adam and Eve, but God did not find it fit to give that glory and power to

the spirits. The angels, the trees, the animals, the fishes, the birds and

the rest of creation, had existed before Adam was created. But he did

not find it fit to glorify those creatures and bestow His power and

authority on them. If you continue to resist the rulership of man, pray

fervently for yourself. Those who claim to worship only the Living God

should continue. What many people do today is to punish man, disagree

with man, imprison him and do all sorts of things to him. People

assemble stones, sticks, sand and leaves and worship them and nobody

complains. But if you say you worship man, you are immediately

condemned. People believe and worship juju, soothsayers, mermaids,

amulets and the rest of fetish things. But you stand aptly condemned if

you say you worship man.

This gospel is to bring to your knowledge the fact that man has been

destined to rule and therefore been endowed and adorned with power


25/77

and authority to do so. Therefore, whether the person is white or black,

young or old, short or tall, it does not matter. All you have to know is

that he is man. He was born on earth. Where he is born and how he

looks like is what the world does not know. The only pointer to his

physical manifestation is the state of things in the world today. But man

does not care to give a second thought to these things. The churches,

the institution of higher learning, the secret societies, companies,

governments and indeed the entire world have all failed and they are all

empty. The three wise men who went with gifts to pay homage to the

new born king did not bow down and worship a stone or stick or any

other thing on their arrival. It is made clear that they bowed down and

worshipped the new born child called Emmanuel, meaning God with

man. It was also revealed that the young girl shall bring forth a child and

his name shall bring salvation to mankind. He came and completed that

assignment. IT WAS AGAIN WRITTEN THAT HE SHALL REAPPEAR IN

HUMAN FORM AND HE SHALL CARRY OUT GREATER ASSIGNMENTS.

That is why we are told that a woman shall bring forth a man child who

will rule the world with an iron rod. That glory and honor has been given

to him and all power has been brought in subjection under his feet. If

this man-child could wield such enormous and unlimited power, would

Satan then be left with any power at all? Could Satan or death, or

Hades, or any angels or any man for that matter be more powerful than

the man-child? His position is incontestable and His power unrivalled.

That is why when I hear you say that Our Lord Jesus Christ had died, I

rebuke you, because you are saying what you do not know. If His

kingship were to be carnal, by now He would have been dethroned. That

is why when you say that man passes man and position passes power, I

prove you wrong. FOR HE WHO HAS POWER IS GREATER THE PERSON

WHO HAS THE POSITION. That is why a king can easily be dethroned by

his subjects at will and a government or president can be overthrown at

anytime by the people, the masses or electorate. This is so because,

these are the people who have the real power in their hands.

Christ said through Paul that the Kingdom of God does not consist in

eating and drinking but is power. This further proves to you that power

surpasses position. If you ask God to give you money, wife, husband,


26/77

children, houses, and so on, what would you do with all those things if

you have no power? But any person who has power can just come

around and take all your property away from you. That is why this

man-child has come with glory and honor to rule the world. No person

has ever come and ruled the world with an iron rod, except this

man-child. That is why all power in heaven and on earth is brought to

total subjection under His feet. If you therefore call Him Jesus, or

prophet, or any name other than the iron rod ruler, you have failed. If

you also pray saying Our Father who art in heaven or on earth you have

equally failed. He is seated on His throne in His Father's Kingdom. HE

HAS COME IN HIS GLORY AND NEVER TO MOVE FROM PLACE TO

PLACE TO PLACE FOR ANYTHING. IF THEREFORE YOU FIND ANYBODY

OR PERSONS WHO GO FROM PLACE TO PLACE, CLAIMING TO BE THE

PROMISED ONE, KNOW THAT THAT PERSON IS A DECEIVER AND A

HUNGRY PERSON. His power is not limited to any particular

geographical areas or planet. His power stretches forth to all the

planets, all the nations and unto all humanity and creation. His kingdom

and power have neither beginning nor end. His kingship in not ordinary,

or man-made and therefore is unshakable and irresistible. May God

bless His Holy Words. AMEN.

THANK YOU HOLY FATHER.

2. I AM NOT GOD BUT OLUMBA OLUMBA

OBUFIRST BIBLE LESSON: REVELATION 11:15

"And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in

heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of

our Lord, and of His Christ; and He shall reign forever and ever."

SECOND BIBLE LESSON: 1 CORINTHIANS 15:28

"And when all things shall be subdued unto Him, then shall the Son alsohimself be subject unto Him that put all things under him, that God may

be all in all."


"And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle

of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His

people, and God Himself will be with them, and be their God."

Brethren the Word of God is not something that can be revealed through

human wisdom or to be interpreted by the wisdom of this world. It is not

something that is written down on papers. It has been fixed from the

foundation of the world. If you subtract or add to it you make yourself a

confusionist, and must suffer the penalty.

It is an undisputable fact that no one hates Brotherhood. The problem is

that you members of Brotherhood do not abide by the Word of God you

are given from day to day. You have left what you should do, and gone todo what you are supposed not to do.

This is where the confusion lies. For you to say that a man is God, or

that Olumba Olumba Obu is God, puts you out of gear. God has been

doing his work by Himself from the beginning of creation. Adam, Moses,

Abraham or Christ did not say that they were God. Even Jesus Christ


28/77

simply said that He was the Son sent by the Father. Now God has come

by Himself to do His will, and exalt His glory.

There is no doubt that the Son is also with all the hosts of heaven. In

accordance with God's divine purpose that, at the fullness of time, He

will make His dwelling among men, He has now come to dwell with you.

It is foolishness to keep waiting for the Son of God in the sky or in the

clouds; for this is not the time for son, angel or prophets. But it is the

time for God to manifest His multifarious glory to mankind. All the

children of God are here. It is time for all glories, gratitude, praises and

thanks to be given to God direct; for He is here to manifest His will on

earth.

You are all witnesses. The entire world is my witness, even the angels,

that I have never said that I am God; and that I have never denied that it

is the Father who is doing all the work being done on earth today.

In ages past, the Father was still the one who was doing His work

through intermediaries. But these individuals were given the praises

instead of God. Now at the fullness of time, God has come in person to

receive all praises, honors, and thanks that are due Him. Moses

confessed that he was not the one doing these works in his days. But

his brothers attributed all glories to him. The same with Jesus the

Christ. He used to proclaim: "I can do nothing of my own will; for I do not

do my will but the will of him that sent me". (John 5:30). Yet the

followers gave the glory to Jesus Christ. FOR THIS REASON GOD HAS

COME TO RECEIVE THE GLORIES DUE HIM BEFORE THE WORLD WAS.

God had sent angels and prophets to do these works. They were unable.

He finally sent His Son. They held Him as the heir, and killed Him. Whom

do you think then that the Father will send? He now comes by Himself

as the owner of the vineyard. For now the question is: what will the

owner of the vineyard do to those who killed His Son, the heir? Read

Matthew chapter twenty-one. He did not promise to send the Son again;

but to come Himself after this. This generation is very fortunate to see

the day that God has come down personally to receive His glories and

honors.


29/77

It is true that the visioners have been able to see that Christ is now on

earth. But have they been able to see the parousia of the one who

created the heavens and the earth? This great personality has come to

make His dwelling place among men. It is said that the one to govern

will govern with an Iron Rod and that the government will take control

over the earth. This is the Father's government in power.

Although people must have had the belief that God does all things, this

is not enough; because the glories and honours were not given to God

but to intermediaries. Take up your Bible. Refer to all publications. Take

a cursory glance at the world today. See the rulers and the governments

of mankind, and you will be convinced that the Bible is inspired, and not

the work of any human imagination. Worldly wisdom or technical

know-how does not come in here. This government is Theocratic.

Therefore for you to tell people that Leader Olumba Olumba Obu is God,

you have automatically made God to be a man. That is why people

suspect that there is some hidden power underneath in Brotherhood of

the Cross and Star. For, according to them, Jesus Christ who was the

son of God came and died; and had at no time spoken in the first person.

But here is Leader Olumba Olumba Obu, an ordinary human being they

know, and you say he is God. What will happen if he dies? What will

happen to Brotherhood of the Cross and Star? Who will be able to step

in and do his works? These and many other flipping questions are

presented to the world by the people of the world.

In fact they will go as far as saying that Moses came with some powers,

but he died. They will mention quite a number of great men who trod

this earth but died; and they will ask you whether Leader Olumba

Olumba Obu will never die. Because if he dies, his followers will be

subjected to greater sufferings, since there will be no one to lead them

and perform the mighty works now seen in Brotherhood of the Cross

and Star.

From day to day you are forced to answer them what you feel is correct

because you are responsible for these questions. You do not abide by


30/77

the truth preached to you. You show lack of faith in God. Have I ever

told you that this power is mine; or that I have any power of my own?

Have I ever told you that I even exist at all? Moses and others who

came were powerful people. Jesus the Christ was powerful. But all I

know is that now, the God who created the heavens and the earth has

come down to make His dwelling among mankind. He is the one doing

all these works, and not myself.

In the time of Moses you will remember that there was power by the use

of the Ark of the Covenant, and the use of the Staff.

There was the burning of incense and lighting of candles. Have you ever

seen me using a Staff, burning incense, lighting candles, drawing

circles, using consecrated handkerchiefs, holding a wooden or metal

cross or the like?

This is not the time for incantations. IN THE TIME OF JESUS THE

CHRIST HE MOVED FROM PLACE TO PLACE. He preached openly in

marketplaces. He would speak, and the dead would rise. He at times

would touch the blind, and the blind would receive their sight. HAVE

YOU EVER SEEN ME MOVING FROM ONE PLACE TOANOTHER, OR EVEN PRAYING FOR THE SICK, OR TOUCHING

THE INFIRM TO GET WELL?But many of these dead ones today

have come back to life. The blind ones are daily receiving their sight;

and even greater works are going on without a word.

WHO THEN IS DOING ALL THESE WORKS? IS THIS NOT CLEAR

EVIDENCE THAT THE OWNER OF THE VINEYARD HAS ARRIVED? GIVE

GLORY TO THE FATHER, FOR HE IS HERE HIMSELF DOING HIS WORKS.

When you talk of powerful works, you may mention Lazarus who died forfour days, and was brought back to life by Jesus. Jesus had to go to the

grave, and pray tearfully, before Lazarus came back to life. Jesus

Himself died only to come back to life after three days. But today we

have seen something more significant, something more striking. We

have seen someone dead, and come back to life after seven days. The


31/77

raising of the dead is a hobby in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star.

These great works are accomplished without a word or formalities.

These are clear evidences that the Father is now here doing His works.

Just fancy the number of insane persons that are brought here. No

physical treatment is given to them; and in fact, all they do is remain

here; and when their time is come, they go home completely healed.

And what about your personal problems and difficulties? Do you not

witness how they are overcome without the assistance of anyone?

Does this not prove to you that these works are not done by any human

being but by God Himself? Why not give the credit to God; or does God

not merit this glory?

This is where the world is confused when you tell them that Leader O.

O. Obu is God, and that Leader O. O. Obu is the one doing all these

works. Do you not see how confused they are? FOR THEY LOOK

AROUND, AND AT NO TIME DO THEY SEE LEADER O. O. OBU

MOVING FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER. HOW THEN DOES

HE PERFORM THESE THINGS?May be there is some hidden thing

underneath; they suspect, and give it a name.

Many of you have been members of some secret societies. You havebeen members of different religious organizations. Did you ever see

your leaders appearing to you physically, in dreams or otherwise? Did

they take away your problems at your mere sight of them? Did you see

them speaking just a word, and it takes effect at once?

Brethren, I must tell you that the work you see here is not done by any

man, angel or prophet, or even by the Son; but it is the Father who is at

work now.

I would like to recall to your mind the great works done by Moses and

others. Moses used the staff before Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and

demonstrated some sorts of powers. Jesus Christ came and brought

many dead people back to life. But how many people were converted for

God? How many were changed from their former ways of life? But today


32/77

you have been transformed, and given a new personality in accordance

with the Divine Will. Is Obu the one that has changed you to be what you

are?

I had publicly told you that I have never been a member of any church or

society. I have never received any education of this world except as a

child. The works you now witness in Brotherhood are done by the

Father; and all thanks and praises, glory and honour must be given to

God the Father for His benevolence (JOHN 14:10).I have no power of

my own. I do not read from any book of this worldly system of things.

Take it from me that God is the one doing the things now on earth

according to His promise. Some of you who have children do discipline

them to mold them up in a good way. But in your case who disciplines

you here? Who suspends you here in order to become useful vessels

unto God?

Have you ever seen anyone suspended in Brotherhood? THIS IS

ANOTHER EVIDENCE THAT GOD HAS COME DOWN PERSONALLY TO

CHANGE HIS CHILDREN, AND RECONCILE THEM TO HIMSELF. To be

candid, God is the one who instigates the world to ask you all these

questions about the power in Brotherhood. Because He is a Jealous

God, He does not want His glory to be given to any other; for He

deserves exclusive honor. For although the people may believe what is

done here in Brotherhood, the mere fact that you say that this work is

done by a man, makes it become fantastic.

FIRST BIBLE LESSON: REVELATION 11:15:

"And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in

heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of

our Lord, and of His Christ; and He shall reign for ever and ever."

Where then are the wise men? Where then are the debaters of the fact?

God has made the wisdom of this world to perish. Only God's wisdom


33/77

rules supreme. God is here to rule; and so He has maneuvered the

kingdoms of this world to become His and that of His Christ, and He

must rule forever and ever. Therefore, if you had regarded yourself as a

wise person, please become a fool so that you may become wise. (1Cor

3:18). In the world today you cannot see any stable government. The

same with schools, industries, universities, and other establishments.

Industrial actions are the order of the day. Boycotting of classes is the

drill of the students. Unrest, hatred, confusion and chaos are

everywhere.

This is so because this is a transitional period, a time for handing over

the kingdoms of this world to God. For this reason Jesus the Christ

said:"You have heard that I said to you, I am going away and I am

coming back to you. If you loved me you would rejoice that I am." (John

14:28). When a person is sent to a strange land on an errand, he is

honored in view of the person that sent him. But when the person that

sent him accompanies him to that very place, he who was formerly sent

there is no more given the honor. The Master, who was, now receives

the honor.

The prophets came and were honored. The angels came and received

their honor and praises. The Son came and was glorified. BUT NOW THE

FATHER IS HERE WITH ALL THOSE HE SENT BEFORE.THEREFORE ALL

GLORIES AND HONOUR NO MORE GO TO ANYONE OF THOSE SENT,

BUT TO THE FATHER WHO IS THE OWNER OF THE VINEYARD.

I am speaking boldly before the angels, prophets, all the children of

God, and the entire world that the works that are done in Brotherhood of

the Cross and Star, and the entire world are not performed by any man

or angel or prophet, but by the Father Himself; and wherever you are in

this world, you will feel the impact of His power. You have every reason

to sing and rejoice because God's dwelling is now with man.

Do you know that some of you are angels, some are prophets, children

of God and apostles? This notwithstanding, the Father does the work by

Himself. From today, after hearing this gospel, never repeat the mistake


34/77

to say that Leader O. O. Obu is the one doing these works; otherwise

you are a stumbling block to others. JESUS CHRIST PREACHED AND

PERFORMED MIRACLES. WAS THAT SUFFICIENT TO TURN THE WORLD

OF MANKIND TO GOD?

THERE IS NO OTHER FORCE THAT DOES THIS. THE FACT IS THAT

CHRIST IS HERE IN BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR. THE

ANGELS ARE HERE. THE PROPHETS ARE HERE. ALL THE CHILDREN OF

GOD ARE HERE; AND THE CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH IS HERE

IN BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR. Make no mistake to say

that Leader O. O. Obu is the one doing these works in the world,

otherwise you blaspheme against God by taking Him to be a mere man.

Read through the publications here in Brotherhood of the Cross and

Star. You will never see where I proclaim myself to be God; or have I

told you I am educated?

I HAVE NEVER ATTENDED ANY SCHOOL OF LEARNING OR ANY

THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY TO QUALIFY EVEN AS A PREACHER. BUT

ALL I SAY IS THIS: "THAT THE FATHER WHO IS GOD IS THE ONE DOING

THESE WORKS." BUT HOW ELSE CAN I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?

Go to all parts of the world. You will see the children of God serving

God. Have you ever seen me in those places? Or does God not merit this

glory? Or do you not know that all thanks and glory must be given to

Him now? There is no pastor or prophet or any man on earth that should

be given the glory due to God.

ANYONE WHO RECEIVES THE GLORY DUE TO GOD IS A BLASPHEMER. I

HAVE NOT HIDDEN ANYTHING FROM YOU; BUTI HAVE SPOKEN TO

YOU PUBLICLY AND PRIVATELY THAT THE FATHER IS THE ONE DOING

THESE WORKS.HE IS THE ONE THAT PRAYS, SINGS, PREACHES, AND

PERFORMS ALL THE WONDROUS WORKS NOW ON EARTH. THINK OF

IT. If a person does not have even a single kobo (penny); and people go

about saying that he is a millionaire, is that not mockery and a very

shameful thing? Likewise when you say that Leader O. O. Obu has

power, and that he is the one doing these works, you are making


35/77

yourself a liar. I am grateful to God that I have never at any time told

you that I am the one doing these works. I have at all times attributed

all glory to the Father. Let the second Bible lesson be read.

SECOND BIBLE LESSON: 1 CORINTHIANS 15:28.

"And when all things shall be subdued unto Him, then shall the Son also

be subject unto Him that put all things under Him, that God may be all in

all."

IT IS TRUE THAT GOD SUBJECTED EVERYTHING TO CHRIST. BUT NOW

CHRIST MUST SUBJECT EVERYTHING TO THE FATHER SO THAT THE

FATHER MAY BE ALL THINGS, AND DO ALL THINGS. NOW IS THE

FULLNESS OF TIME. NOW IS THE TIME FOR THE GLORY TO BE GIVEN

TO THE FATHER SINCE JESUS CHRIST HAS NOW SUBJECTED ALL

THINGS TO HIM. IF YOU SAY THAT ALL THINGS ARE DONE BY THE

FATHER, IT MEANS THAT THE SON, THE ANGELS AND THE CHILDREN

OF GOD ARE INCLUSIVE. BUT IF YOU SAY YOU ARE THE ONE DOING

THE WORK, OR THAT THE WORK IS EITHER DONE BY THE SON OR THE

ANGELS, YOU HAVE DISGRACED GOD.

Where then is God? And where were you when the Son was sent? Did

you not hear the Son crying with a loud voice on the cross, saying: "My

God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" That is why the worldly

people say that there must be something hidden underneath in

Brotherhood. Why? Because even Jesus, the Son of God, came and died;

and at times when they plot against you, and fail woefully, they wonder

what force should have overcome their plot. Or when in your place of

work a termination paper is made for you, but later turns out to be your

promotion, they become blood-stilled. Or even when they spend

sleepless nights planning evil against you, and you are enjoying an

undisturbed sleep, they wonder. These and many other surprises give

the world food for thought, that there must be something underneath

here in Brotherhood. Are these evidences not enough for you to give

glory to God?

If in your office you are promoted, and you attributed the promotion to


36/77

God by saying: "I thank God for promoting me, "your boss will be mad at

you, and may most likely withdraw your promotion because you do not

give him the glory. IF I HAD NOT TOLD YOU THIS THING THEN YOU

WOULD BE CORRECT TO SAY THAT I AM THE ONE DOING THE WORK,

BUT NOW THAT I HAVE TOLD YOU THAT GOD IS THE ONE DOING ALL

THE WORKS, YOU ARE INEXCUSABLE. THEREFORE ANYONE SAYING

THAT LEADER OBU IS THE ONE DOING THE WORK IS A LIAR, AND IF

LEADER OBU SAYS HE IS THE ONE DOING THESE WORKS, IT IS FALSE.

GOD FORBID! I HAVE NEVER SAID SO, BUT RATHER THAT ALL PRAISES

AND GLORY SHOULD BE GIVEN TO GOD THE FATHER THE DOER OF

THESE THINGS. ALL THAT YOU DO HERE, WHETHER YOU KNEEL

DOWN, KNOCK YOUR FOREHEADS ON THE GROUND, OR ADDRESS A

LETTER TO ME, YOU ARE IN FACT DOING THESE THINGS NOT TO ME

BUT TO GOD THE FATHER.

Brethren, I have examined myself very well. I do not have any power of

my own. I have no wisdom of my own. I am not a preacher neither am I

the doer of anything. YOU MUST KNOW THAT EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE

GODS, YOU ARE NOT GOD. AND ALTHOUGH YOU ARE SONS, YOU ARE

NOT THE SON. YOU MUST KNOW THAT THIS IS THE TIME TO GIVE GOD

HIS DUE GLORY. DO NOT SEEK ANY GLORY AGAIN BECAUSE THE ONE

THAT HAS THE LEGAL RIGHT HAS COME TO RULE.

Those who charge money for the powerful works they perform do so

because they perceive that power belongs to them. This is false. ALL

OF YOU ARE GOD'S VESSELS AND TOOLS.THEREFORE GIVE GLORY TO

GOD IN ALL THAT HE DOES FROM DAY TO DAY.BRETHREN, PUT THIS

GOSPEL INTO PRACTICE BECAUSE THE SON HAS SURRENDERED ALL

THINGS TO THE FATHER, AND THE FATHER HAS BECOME ALL THINGS.

TO CALL ME A LEADER IS CORRECT BECAUSE GOD HAS PROVIDED A

LIVING EXAMPLE FOR YOU IN ME IN ORDER TO LEAD YOU TO GOD'S

KINGDOM. THE QUALITIES YOU SEE IN ME ARE FOR YOU TO EMULATE.

BUT TO CALL ME GOD, NO PLEASE, I AM NOT THE ONE. THE REASON I

DO NOT WORRY MYSELF TO MOVE FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER TO

PREACH IS BECAUSE THE FATHER IS HERE, AND ALL THINGS HAVE


37/77

BEEN SUBJECTED TO HIM, AND HE IS THE ONE DOING ALL THINGS. HE

IS THE ONE TO RECONCILE THE WHOLE WORLD TO HIMSELF. UNDER

HIM I AM FREE, JUST AS YOU ARE.

All gifts that you receive are from Him; and all that you give out are also

from Him. I have taught you all these things. I have given you this truth

that God is the one you must worship; and all glory must be given to Him

direct, and not to any man.

God who is now on earth has instructed us to love one another just as

He loves us. You must obey His voice. We must love Him because He

loves us, and calls us His children. Our being gods is also because He

wishes us to be thus, all to His glory.Today He has informed us that all

things have been subjected to Him, and that all glory should be given to

Him. God has come down to rule this world for eternity. Go and tell the

world that Christ, angels, prophets, and the children of God are here to

witness the rule of God over the universe. God's words never go

unfulfilled.

It was prophesied that a virgin will conceive and bear a male child. This

was so. (Isa 7:14). Another prophesy had it that a woman will conceive

and bear a male child, and that this child will rule the whole world (Isa

9:6) with an iron rod (Rev 12:5). This has also been fulfilled.

Another prophesy said that God will, at His appointed time, make His

dwelling among men (Lev 26:11-12). Today, this prophesy is fulfilled.

(Rev 21:3). "God is here now to take control over all things. Give glory to

God, the Father, always."

When Jesus Christ was on the Cross He cried with a loud voice: "My

God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" (Matt 27:46 / Mark 15:34). If

God did not get out from Him, He would not have been killed. SO TODAY

THAT GOD HAS COME TO DWELL WITH YOU. WHAT CAN A MAN DO TO

YOU? Why do you panic and fear? You have maximum protection,

security and satisfaction. For ages now man has tried by his own efforts

to forsake sin. But he has been unable. But now God has come to


38/77

change people, and sanctify them for Himself. Let all those who do not

believe in the existence of God weep; for they must see God in His full

glory and majesty now. May we hear the golden text.


"And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle

of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His

people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God."Has this statement not come to pass in this generation? Does this refer

to angels, prophets or the Son? Never! IT REFERS TO THE FATHER,

GOD. HE IS THE ONE TO DWELL WITH MEN. When we talk of

Brotherhood we are referring to the heavens and the earth and the

universe.

Today the talk of the town is that Brotherhood of the Cross and Star has

subdued all forces and powers in the world; a clear evidence that God

has taken control over all things. YES, FOR YEARS THE LITTLE SALTGIVEN YOU WAS INSUFFICIENT FOR YOUR MEAL. THIS WAS SO IN

TERMS OF POWER OF THE ANGELS, PROPHETS AND EVEN, THE SON.

BUT NOW THE SOURCE OF ALL DYNAMIC POWERS HAS ARRIVED.ALL

THINGS ANIMATE AND INANIMATE, SEEN AND UNSEEN MUST SUBMIT

TO THE SUPREME BEING, THE GUEST OF THE TIME. ALL KINGDOMS,

RULERSHIP, ALL POWERS AND AUTHORITIES MUST BOW TO

THIS GREAT RULER, THE ALMIGHTY GOD.

YOUR FOREMOST RESPONSIBILITY IS TO BELIEVE THAT GOD IS HERE

ON EARTH; and that the Son, the angels and the prophets and all the

children of God are here to provide all things for you. He has come to

reveal His son to the world. He has come to reveal all His children to the

world, and to receive the honor and glory due Him before the World was.

You may not be blamed, in a sense, because when a sick man is cured

he gives glory to the native doctor. But only a foolish doctor will accept

or receive such glory. Of course, if he receives the glory for having

cured someone, and then another sick person is brought, and he is

unable to cure him or he dies, then he is a liar. You must be very careful

so that you do not receive the glory due to God; because God requires

an exclusive honor.

Very soon you will see a child of two raising the dead, or even a robber

doing some powerful work. You will look for a sign but you will be led

astray because you do not believe in the presence of God. It is because

of lack of faith and unbelief by some people that God is the One doing

this work. That makes them wander from place to place, from one

prophet to another, and from one pastor to another; and if they are

healed, they attribute such healing to either the prophet or the pastor.

Sometimes you may see a sick person who was taken to the hospital,

and he recovers; and because of your lack of faith, you doubt God's

presence; and when you are sick you would want to be admitted into

the hospital, but you may die there. It is true that God is everywhere.

But you must acknowledge His presence, and capability of doing all

things. He is a Spirit. He is in me and in you and in all things. What is

impossible with men is possible with God. We should worship Him in

spirit and in truth as the only Creator of all things.

*THOSE WHO SPEND THEIR TIME TO THINK OF ASUCCESSOR TO LEADER OBU WHEN HE DIES ARE VERY

UNREASONABLE PEOPLE. AND THOSE WHO ARE OUTSIDE, AND

ARE TRYING TO SEE THE END OF LEADER OBU SO THAT

BROTHERHOOD MAY CEASE TO FUNCTION, ARE ALSO VERY, VERY

UNREASONABLE. Is the work in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star done

by the leader? Whether I am here or not; one thing stands out. These

works will continue because the doer is here by Himself; and He is God,

the Father.(John 14:10-12)


40/77

Many of you have been stricken with fear when you hear that you will no

more see the Leader. That is to put faith in you. When you see before

you believe; that is not faith. (John 20:29). Faith is the assured

expectation of things hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities

though not beheld (Hebrews 11:1).

It is because of lack of faith that some of you do not attend meetings

that the Leader would not attend, and do not honor any letter or circular

that is not signed by the Leader. Blessed are those who do not see, and

yet believe. Believe as from today that God is the one doing these

works.

These works are not done by Leader Obu or Olumba Olumba Obu or

O.O.O. God is the one who created this O.O.O., and that God is the one

doing His works now in the universe. I give glory to God who has come

to rule the world. Therefore all that you do, whether in songs, prayer

and worship, do them to God. Do not worship man, do not give glory to

man. Do not enslave man. Worship God, and give Him glory; for He is

now on earth.

Some of you have seen God face to face; but you are still doubting in

your minds. Do not keep your eyes on the things you see but rather on

the things unseen; for the things seen are temporary, but the things

unseen are everlasting (2nd Corinth 4:18). Some of you get worried

when you are not able to see the Leader. Does it mean that God does

not see you? Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in

whom there is no help. O.O.Obu is a man like you are, but God is God

forever. O.O.Obu can go anywhere just as you can, but God is

omnipresent.

Go and tell the world that you made a mistake when you told them that

the work done here in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is performed

by a man. Because what you see here and what you have heard done

here is not anything that can be done by man, angel, prophet or the Son.

Tell them that God has come to dwell with men, and that God is the One

doing all these things.


41/77

If you say that a man is the one doing these things, then it is like saying

that God lives in a building. But is God so small as to live in a building?

NOT AT ALL! GOD REMAINS FAITHFUL AND TRUE TO HIS PROMISES,

although man may stumble and fall. There is only one God that controls

the universe. There is no division. There is neither male nor female,

young or old. All are in union with the Lord. All were created by this one

God that controls the universe; and today His tabernacle is here with

His creatures, to dwell with them, and be their God forever.

Brethren, those who have ears to hear, let them hear. May God bless His

Holy Word.

3. THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE GREATEST GIFT OF

GOD

FIRST BIBLE LESSON: MATTHEW 7:7

"Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it

shall be opened unto you:"

SECOND BIBLE LESSON: ACTS 4:29-31

"And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants,

that with all boldness they may speak thy word. By stretching forth

thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the

name of thy holy child Jesus. And when they had prayed, the place was

shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled

with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness."

GOLDEN TEXT: JAMES 1:17

"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down

from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow

of turning."

Brethren, we are going to introduce the theme of this wonderful and

inspiring sermon with the following choruses:

1. The Holy Spirit is now on earth, let my people shout: Amen - Amen.

Hallelujah.

2. The Holy Spirit is life, He is the root of life for the children of God.

3. Seek ye first the kingdom of the Lord and all other things shall be

added to you.

Our Lord Jesus Christ has already left these spoken words before his


43/77

departure. He said: "Nevertheless, I tell you the truth, it is for your good

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) So you realize

that our Lord Jesus Christ bore testimony to this glory. He told them, "If

you love me, you would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father, for

my Father is greater than I." (John 14:28).

Since that Comforter, the Counselor, the Holy Spirit has arrived, it does

not call for much preaching, you only need to be told things in clear

terms. THEREFORE, MY DUTY, YOUR DUTY AND THE DUTY OF ALL THE

INHABITANTS OF THE WORLD IS TO SING SONGS OF PRAISES, DANCE

AND REJOICE BECAUSE WE ARE SAVED. We just want to scratch the

periphery and show to you what is expected of you.

This week that has just passed, the Pastor's Week, is very powerful

indeed. Because the things the Father has revealed during the week

had never before been revealed. Now you have heard what the scripture

has told you, that is: "ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall

find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you." But when you stand up,

you close your eyes and bring your palms together and pray, Oh God

give me a child, a husband, a motor vehicle, or money. Are those the

things you are expected to ask for? These are not the things you are

expected to ask for, because these are the material things of the world.

MUNDANE THINGS LEAD TO DEATH

Neither should you pray for money. Just go out and you will see

somebody carrying a heavy load, help the person out and at the end of

the exercise, he will give you some of the money you have been praying

for. If you go to somebody's premises and you find it is overgrown with

weeds, get your machete clean the whole thing and at the end of the

exercise you will find that money will be given to you. Help somebody

fetch water, break firewood, and clean his environment and money will

be given to you without your praying for it. These are not the things we

are referring to. These are mundane things and they lead unto death.

What we are going to talk about is what you are expected to ask for. It

is exactly the theme of our sermon today.


44/77

ASK FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT

Can you see the arrangement? You are told to ask, knock and all these

things shall be given to you. (Matt 7:7) What then are you expected to

request or pray for? It is the Holy Spirit. Recall what the disciples did,

when the chief Priest and Elders threatened them not to preach in the

name of our Lord Jesus Christ. They gathered together and prayed,

"And now, Lord behold their threatenings; and grant unto thy servants,

that with all boldness they may speak thy word, by stretching forth

thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the

name of the Holy child Jesus. And when they had prayed, the place was

shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled

with the Holy Ghost, and they spoke the word of God with boldness."

(Acts 4:29-31) Right from that period, they feared nobody. They entered

into the streets and lanes of the city and into all places and preached

the gospel of God without fear. This is exactly what you are told to

request for. The Holy Spirit is what you are expected to ask for from

God and He will give unto you. The Holy Spirit is the greatest of all gifts.

THE HOLY SPIRIT IS EVERYTHING TO EVERY MAN

And that was not the end of it all. They prayed for the Holy Spirit, and

the Holy Spirit descended on them. "THE MULTITUDE OF THEM THAT

BELIEVED WERE OF ONE HEART AND OF ONE SOUL. NEITHER SAID

ANY OF THEM THAT OUGHT OF THE THINGS WHICH POSSESSED WAS

HIS OWN, BUT THEY HAD ALL THINGS IN COMMON." (Acts 4:32)

Brethren, you can see the situation clearly, that even if somebody has

money would not want to part with any kobo. But he will rather desire to

collect more from others. When you pray, God give me money, so that I

will use same to do your work, the question is, those to whom God has

given millions and billions and trillions what have they done with all this

money? You may have the money in abundance and yet you die of

hunger, you abandon the money and would not want to make use of it.

Money is carnal and cannot help you out in anything.


45/77

As the Heavens are higher than the earth so is the wisdom of God higher

than the wisdom of man. (Isaiah 55:9). Tree, man, fish, money and all

things you find around you are just one. No matter how populated a

place is, that does not serve any useful purpose. No matter what you

think you possess, those things do not come into estimation. What

matters is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is life, the Holy Spirit is love,

peace, joy, wealth, good health. He is patience, humility, self-control

and other virtues. The Holy Spirit is everything to every man. The Holy

Spirit is the greatest gift that man can ever receive.

Brethren, I want to do a little arithmetic for you. "God give me life," that

is one of your requests. "God give me health," that is another request,

"God give me a wife," that is yet another request, "God give me a child"

is yet another request. "God give me money so that I may take care of

the children." Do you know what you have asked God? What you have

asked of God, (all these things), increase your sorrow. I want to prove to

you as one proves the theorems in geometry and algebra.

Now, let us examine your first request. You prayed God to give you long

life, and He has given it to you. When you look around, you find that your

age-mates are all dead. You are left alone with no association. Your

teeth are all gone, your hair has gone gray, you can no longer see

clearly. Your limbs are weak, you cannot walk. You cannot do anything.

You cannot even control the loin cloth on your waist. You become

stationary, and cannot pass urine. Some people even turn around to

pray, "God instead of suffering like this in life, instead of living this kind

of life, please take my life and let me rest. I tell you that the suffering an

old man has endured, somebody who had asked God for a long life,

cannot be compared to that which Satan himself has suffered.

All the evil things done by your brothers are referred to you. All the evil

things done by your family are referred to you. All the evil things done by

your ward, your village are referred to you. All the evil things done by

your community are referred to you. Whatever evil is done around that

vicinity, is referred to you. Everybody calls on you for whatever has

happened. You do not have any rest at all, because you are to answer


46/77

for whatever happens to your age-mates, your brothers or sisters.

These are things you suffer. When you ask God for long life, you are to

face these calamities.

DISADVANTAGES OF GOOD HEALTH

Let us examine another request of yours. You ask God to give you good

health, good and fine. But around you is a brother who is sick and

another brother who is also sick. One has a court case and another is

afflicted, in addition to other numerous problems around you. Since you

have good health, you have to attend to the sick, those with court

cases, the afflicted and all those who are troubled. You had asked God

for good health and you are to minister unto those who need your help.

What then is the usefulness of good health if you cannot sit down in one

place? What is the usefulness of a "restless" good health?

OF WHAT PROFIT IS A WIFE AND CHILDREN

In Akwa Ibom State, if you go to somebody's house and maybe asked a

little child, where is your father and he tells you, 'oh, my father has gone

out to buy trouble,' that means his father has gone to marry. The

moment you marry you have invited all forms of trouble to yourself. Here

you were as quiet and calm as possible. The moment a woman comes

into your life you will be forced to talk. All forms of trouble must come to

you. You have to change your former way of life. You will be forced out

of your concealment. This is the wife you had wanted. Is this not a

situation whereby "trouble de sleep, yanga go wakaam?" As if the

trouble of having a wife in the house is not sufficient, later if your wife

gives birth to a child thereby increasing your problems. When a child

comes, you know what it means. The troubles you have to take to wean

a child and care for him in addition to other prevalent problems, your

child constitute yet another set of problem and you have other problems

here and there to attend to. What sort of life will you be living? This is

exactly what you encounter when you are praying God to give you a

wife and children.


47/77

THE BURDEN OF POSSESSING

God give me money and the money comes. You have become a

storekeeper for every Tom, Dick, and Harry. This is another problem you

have created for yourself. Because everybody around will come to you

for money. This brother will come asking you for money, if you do not

give him, he will start abusing you. Another one will come telling you.

"Aha, you have given to the other brother, why do you not give to me?

Another person will come asking you for money, and if you refuse giving

him, he will look for ways of charming and hurting you. Troubles will

come from left and right, since you have money. You will no longer be

free to move around because the money is there. Armed robbers will

visit you, all kinds of things will come to you because you want money.

Your family will be calling on you. At every launching you will be called

upon to launch and finally you will even hide never to be seen again.

Just as we have launching here and some people are hiding, because

the money is there, but they do not want to spend it. Now tell me what

useful purpose it serves when you begin to ask for money and is given

to you. You have asked for money and this is t
