This constitutes the sign of this new Kingdom of God. By now everyone should have been aware of the fact that we are in the new world, but the world knows Him not. But that it may be fulfilled as was said by our Lord Jesus Christ. If you love me, you will keep my commandment and I will plead with the Father and he will send unto you another Comforter (John 14:15-16) who is the Holy Spirit which the world has not known because they have not seen Him but you know Him because He dwells in your heart and will continue to dwell in your heart. The choristers had already rendered a piece on this. Before we impart this lesson to you, He had already revealed everything even right from your houses to you.

It is my duty everyday to continue to remind you of this very lesson. You are the children of the Kingdom of God. You are in the Kingdom of God. You are not Nigerians. You are not Africans. You are not Europeans. You are not West Indians. You are neither ghosts nor mermaids. You are not men of the world. You are the children of God who are with Him and will continue to remain with Him for ever and ever. For when the priesthood is changed, the law must of necessity be changed in conformity. (Heb 7:12).

In the past you were under the control of the flesh. The works of the flesh, like you know, consist in falsehood, stealing division, fornication, killing, craftiness, indulgence in the preparation of concoction and all kinds of sins. In the words of a spiritual song, "spirit of the Lord of life come and lead." It had been written that He will lead "That spirit has come down to lead you." We also sing: "Lead us Thou Beloved Shepherd. That beloved Shepherd has come". God is a spirit, and they who worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

It has been read to you, that the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. What has He taught to us? It is said the fruit of the Spirit is love; (Gal 5:22) therefore has he taught us love? He has taught us patience, truth, humility, self-control, mercy, peace and all the virtues which can be found in the Kingdom of God. Joy, happiness, humility, meekness, gentleness, righteousness are also the lessons he has taught us. There is neither division, nor quarrelling, nor cheating, nor seniority, nor minority. There is neither freeborn nor stranger, neither poor nor rich neither young nor old. All of us should show the expression of love, truth, meekness, mercy, patience and self-control.

He is teaching us. He also heals our infirmities, protects and feeds, transforms and ministers grace unto us. He teaches by practical demonstration. He charges no fee for his lessons. When he heals, He does not demand a candle. When He protects, He requires no perfume. When he bestows grace, He does so with open arms. He gives us life, food, health, money, houses, beauty and all the good things of life.

In this Kingdom, neither frowning nor segregation is required. There is a marked difference between the practices in Brotherhood and those in the world. In the world, if you have to build a house, you will be expected to appease the land. Wherever people congregate in the world, libation pouring and sacrifices are expected. But in this Kingdom of God, neither sacrifice nor libation is required. Once you go to a place, you only have to say thanks and praises be given to God, in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ and everything will remain calm. We have no other sacrifices to offer. Wherever it may be, only give thanks to the Father, and all is well; because, as God, He is the controller of heaven and earth.

The only sacrifice required by the Holy Spirit is prayer. Do not be mistaken about it. If you find yourself in a gathering where libation is poured, depart from there. Tell the people that in this new world the Holy Spirit only requires spoken words. Once you speak with the word of your mouth, it will be fulfilled. He requires neither perfume, nor candle, nor incense, nor psalms, nor ring, nor gold, nor silver, nor any other thing. All He wants is thanks: "Thank you Father. This is your house; these are your children; this is your world. All things belong to you. Let your will alone be done." He is able to contain any situation and you will have no problems. What we have to do is to thank him, tell Him our request and do what He instructs us. If He orders that we should stand there, there we stand. Jump up and we jump, Love one another and we obey. Be truthful, do not drink, do not commit adultery and we obey his instruction.

I am thankful to the Father immensely because He has come Himself sending no one; but the people of the world are still searching for him. It is meet that you should boast in Him because you have a Father. I have a Father and all the inhabitants of the world have a Father. What remains for you to do is to reveal Him to the entire world that they may recognize him. The Choristers had already rendered the piece which asked: "What shakes the world? It is His coming." Since people are doubting and will not believe Him, problem sets in. As many as received Him, their problems are over. You are lucky because you have received Him. But your problem rests in your refusal to practise His injunctions. The problem we still have is refusal to abide by his teachings. If you were to practise his teachings, you would suffer neither from headache nor stomach ache, wretchedness, nor tribulation nor death. He has taught you love, mercy, patience, truth, happiness, joy and all other virtues, because our Lord Jesus Christ had already said that when He comes He will teach you all things. He has taught you many things and will teach more. He has taught you how to manufacture electricity, cars. He has taught engineering of all branches, administrative procedures, and other things. What do you think of a person who can tell you that which is in the water, what happened when the world was void and without form, what each person is, whether white or black.

As we are now, if you leave for London, no person will ask when you arrived in London because he will find you already socialized and acclimatized as a Londoner. If you go to China, you will not learn from any person because He has already taught you. You will rather be the one to teach others what they should do as that great man has taught you since you know Him but the world knows him not. He will lead you aright. If you engage in trading, He will teach you. You will gain business acumen much more than those who started trading about twenty years before. Learning is very simple because immediately you kneel down and make your request known to Him, He will teach you everything which you will reproduce for the examiner. When people talk about the whites being versed in Psychology and in other fields, He is the greatest Psychologist and the Dean of the Faculty of Psychology. What has He taught us? When you are looking at somebody He will tell you what the person is. He will show you the position of certain things and how to move one thing from one place to another, how to walk and where to enter. When you follow his directives, you score all the marks.

He is in the world but the world knows Him not. If you analyze the teachings given you in relation with the goings on in the world, you will realise that He is the one. He has brought all of us together. People are now equally gathered in groups in many places, and in all parts of the world. No one waits to be instructed because He has directed people to converge at certain places. He is in water, on mountain, beneath the earth, in the moon and sun and stars and in everything. The same messages He gives to us, He also gives to those in water, on the earth beneath the earth, in Nigeria, and even in America.

We have no other thing to think of since we have no problems and the one written about has come. The spirit has come to this earth and is passing through your heart, village, farm and everywhere. We should call upon Him in our lamentation and listen to Him in whatever He tells us to do. He is our God. He is our Lord. He is our Father. He is our Teacher. Do not trust in man. Do not trust in your husband or in your person or in any other person. You only have to hope on Him, and Him alone should you look unto.

If by the time you came in this evening you had your hope in money or in this world, re-order your thought. Hope on the Spirit that is now here. If you have a troubled mind, whether you are indebted to somebody, or you have a court case, or you are sick, or you are beset with any problem at all, change your mind and begin to focus on this Spirit and you will notice that all those problems will subside.

I tell you that it is quite true when you hear that to be carnally minded is death. When you are vested with the thought of concoction, man, money, what to eat, that means death. Because what induces a man to kill is hopelessness. When you imagine that you have neither relation, nor money, and that you are indebted to people and facing court actions and enemies, your confidence will be shaken. But right now, when you focus all your thoughts on the Holy Spirit now on earth, you are on top of the world.

If you have never practised any other gospel, try today's gospel which marks the commencement of this Pentecostal Assembly on this day of the Spirited Children's Fellowship meeting with the Father. If you practise it, redemption and salvation will come to you. Note that it does not cost you any money. What is involved is your believing that God is a Spirit and those who worship Him have to believe in Him, have faith in Him and render services unto Him. Believe fervently that He protects and feeds you and that with Him your problems are light, and He is capable of taking them away.

Listen to whatever He teaches you and practise same without questioning or doubts. Do not even admit because such are counterfeited. Remember that our Lord Jesus Christ had said, "call no one Teacher, for one is the Teacher and you are all brethren." (Matt 23:8) When you offer prayer, He prays. When we talk about testimonies, He is the one preaching. He is the one healing our infirmities. He offers protection. When mention is made of changing, He is the one changing. He gives us food. He gives us beauty. Why is it that you do not rejoice? All the while you had wandered about in the world with baskets of tears, did you find salvation? You initiated into secret societies, consulted oracles, injected black powder and attempted other things, did you find peace? He has brought overwhelming peace. When you are sick, you take no medication, you drink no water, you take no enema or even pray, but your sickness will vanish. In like manner your problems will vanish while you are changed as well.

What pleases me most is that He does not forsake you, neither does He receive any money from you, nor demand praises. He does not change. He works in a miraculous way. He has said that He will change you. Again He promised to teach you all things. He changes us free of charge. He teaches us all things free of charge. He protects us free of charge. What sort of Father this is!

Let us surrender ourselves unto Him. Let us hope on Him. Let us believe in Him. Converse with Him in your house, where you stand, it does not require shouting. The Holy Spirit is not deaf or blind. He is with you wherever you are. He has come in full swing to change, protect and give us the glory which we had with Him. Our first lesson will now be read.

Brethren have you heard that? God is a spirit and true worshippers must worship Him in spirit and in truth. If God is spirit, why do you worship tree, water, metal or man? Such things incur problems and difficulties on you. All things shall pass away but the Spirit endures forever because He is God. When the world was void and without form, He still existed. (Gen 1:2). He creates water, air, mountains, trees, and all things yet He remains with the same spirit. It was the will of God to abide with man forever. But because our first father derailed from the path of God, by defiling himself, that was the problem between man and God. Since then did man start to live a reprobate life; because man no longer took cognizance of God. It was for this reason that He promised that He would come and will teach you all things.

The major thing that the Spirit has come to do is to teach us all things. The teachings and all other practises in the world are carnal. Box your worldly acquired knowledge, problems and difficulties and bury such a box deep in the ground. Thereafter, listen attentively to the knowledge brought by our Lord Jesus Christ to you. He is a Spirit. He is a Teacher. He is the Truth. We have to follow His teachings, instructions, advice, and words. God is the word. His word is Truth. His word is Life. His word is power. His word is advice. His word is the way. His word is everything and we have to listen to His word, walk according to His instruction and apply His knowledge.

If you wish, you can experiment after hearing this word. Stay put even if you were a professor. God will tell you all that you had learnt if you pray. This will expose all the things you had learnt. He will show you his supreme knowledge. As a medical doctor you had been taught curative medicine and even how to conduct a surgical operation or do other things. But God teaches you the shortest way to do it. That is, on saying "let", all is let loose, and the sickness gone. Are you not surprised that after spending seven to twelve years to train as a medical doctor and specialize in many areas, with series of research to your credit, your diagnosis still fails to reveal a sickness? But the way of God is short, when you thank God, "Let thanks and praises be given to God," a patient is healed.

Since He is the Father of wisdom, love, power and the Father of all good things; what prevents you then from surrendering yourself unto Him, trusting in Him, obeying and complying with His instructions? We walked in the flesh when we were not in Him, or rather when He was not in us. But now we have to follow His injunctions. Carnality is death. These are tribulations, wretchedness and separation from God. But the Spirit makes a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts, and they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, know the Lord; for all shall know me from the least to the greatest. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. (Heb 8:10-12)

Do you not notice how that Spirit is as adhesive as the tar? While on the bed, he is with you. While sitting, he converses with you. While walking on the way, He converses with you. He is the greatest Teacher, and has come to teach you. Why do you not surrender yourself to His own directives? Man is no longer deceived. When you say that someone has backslided from Brotherhood, where does he go to? Even if a person is in the sun, the conversion goes still on since he is still with the Father. The same thing happens when he is in the water. You complain that somebody is dead, where does he go to? When you complain that someone has gone on transfer, where does he go to? Pray fervently for yourself for such thoughts.

The new covenant which He has made with you is to send the Holy Spirit to dwell with you and teach you all things. Your responsibility is to listen attentively to Him, and comply with His instruction without doubting or questioning. You are a scholar, do not listen to what the teacher tells you but listen to the Holy Spirit, the Supernatural Teacher. It is the Holy Spirit who teaches the Dean of your faculty, in secular schools. The Holy Spirit can even direct you to detect a mistake to your professor who will accept without questioning. You can consult a lawyer for a case but while he is arguing the case, you will point out that he left out a point. When he hears it, he will be very happy you have pointed it out. Yet that person is supposed to be your lawyer. Why do you not understand that the Supernatural Teacher who is all-wise, puts every other knowledge to nought. If you go to school to be trained as an engineer, it is only a formality, and a means of proving the knowledge of the Holy Spirit. Maybe you are new, on arrival to commence your studies knock your head on the ground and say, "Father it has been said that you will teach men all things, come and teach me, for I know nothing." You will even begin to teach your boss the positioning of metals and he will look at you with amazement. In any office that you go to work, once you are with the Father, you have become a teacher to the Permanent Secretary, or Commissioners or any person at all in authority. Pastor Okon Esien-Umo, from experience, knows what I am talking about though in spite of this, he does not enjoy additional benefit.

If you wish to travel abroad, where you have never gone to, knock your head on the ground calling on the Father: "Father, I have never travelled abroad, I know I am going with you, lead me to and fro." That is all you need and He will lead you straight to your destination. Brethren, if your things are disorganized and you cannot dictate immediately, do not bother crying aloud but kneel down calling on Him: "Father, I am ignorant and stupid but I lean on you. Where you have kept that thing I do not know but thank you because you have found it for me." Brethren, in no distant time, you will be directed to the missing item.

Somebody comes to transact business with you, or a stranger comes to you, do not ask where he comes from or who He is. Kneel on the ground and converse with your Father. "I do not know this man. I do not know what he has come to do. I am ignorant but I lean on you. Reveal yourself." Brethren, that person will be revealed to you in detail. Somebody comes to ask your hand in marriage, call on the Father. "Father, I have never got married, reveal yourself and take control of the situation." He will take charge of the affairs to such an extent that you will be asked how you acquired your experience. You may visit a place you have never been to. Call on Him: "Father I have never visited this city, I do not know now what is in it, come and lead me and do your work yourself." Brethren, he will put the whole city into your hands to the wonderment of the indigenes who will question your integrity. That is so because He creates every one of them. Because He is in you. He is in them. He created them. He created you. He controls you all.

He has come to teach us all things and bring them to our remembrance. It is not only praying, giving vision and healing that we are concerned. He has come to teach us all things. If there is any strange place or thing, He reveals all. He has come to teach us all things and nothing is left that He will not teach us. It is not that everyday you appear here that you want prayer. When I observe this I wonder what you people are after. Our second lesson will now be read, so that you know and advice yourself.

Let me enumerate to you. You are taught French, German, Greek, English, Igbo, Hausa, and all other languages in the world. There is no language that He cannot teach. In addition to languages, sciences, arts, business, and other disciplines, He has taught you love, peace, truth, joy, and other virtues. He has also taught you what is in the soil, what is in man, what cannot be comprehended by man.

Have you not realized that empty we came into the world and empty shall we go back. But people still steal, tell lies, fornicate, murder, and quarrel about the things of this earth. They forget one important thing that they are strangers to this earth to which they came naked and will return naked. He has taught us that we came into the world naked and naked shall we certainly return. Once we have what to eat and put on, we should rest content. We are also told that it is better to give than to receive. (Acts 20:35). But the world contends that giving impoverishes, since they do not have this wisdom and they refuse to listen to the Holy Spirit. We are told to lay our treasures in heaven, that is to serve God. By being generous, it means we have laid our treasures in heaven which is more abundant than what is on earth.

We are taught that if we are invited to any gathering, we should first sit at a very lowly place, perchance somebody higher than yourself had been invited. When you take a low seat and the owner of the feast finds you, he will invite you to a higher place where you will have honour (Luke 14:8-10). He has also taught us that whatever the right hand does, the left should not know. (Matt 6:3) He also teaches us that when we make a feast we should not invite the rich who pay back. Rather we should call the poor, such as will not be able to repay till doomsday. And you shall be blessed because they cannot recompense you; for you shall be recompensed at the resurrection of the just. (Luke 14:14)

He teaches us too that whoever will be great among you, should be your minister; and whoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant. (Matt 20:26-27) The greatest amongst you shall be the minister. Can you observe the teaching of our Lord Jesus Christ? He also teaches that the least amongst is the greatest in this Kingdom of God. He has taught us to speak the truth always: Most importantly, he has taught us not to constitute ourselves into a burden for any person. He has warned that we should not eat any man's food for nought, (2 Thess 3:8) and that we should not feed the idle, but labour with your hands for your food. Do not steal, but use your yields to assist the needy. It is a very important teaching. He teaches too that we should be swift to hear, slow to speak and slow to wrath. (James 1:19). Brethren we are taught many things. If we should abide by his teachings, even right from this night, we will not have any problems for ourselves.

A wife complains of the husband, the husband in turn complains of the wife. Have they not received the teachings? You argue that, since your father marries many wives, you have to marry many wives too. You argue that since your mother married many husbands, and even maintained many boyfriends, you have to equally parade the corridors of men. Is that what our Lord Jesus Christ teaches?

Brethren, all that we have previously learnt, do not qualify us for entry into the Kingdom of God. He knows that we have not attained the knowledge of the truth. It is for this reason that He, the Supernatural Teacher has come by Himself to teach all mankind and lead them to the knowledge of the truth so that we can retrace our steps from the path of iniquity. Right now those who have money, do not make good use of it. Those who have children do not make good use of them. Those in good health do not make good use of their health. There is no person who makes the best use of his privilege nor live a life expected by God.

You do remember that all those who commit sin are satanic. Because satan had been committing sin from the beginning. It was for this reason that the son of God was sent to destroy the works of satan. What is used in destroying the works of satan? It is love, truth, mercy, peace, patience, self-control, and all other virtues of God that are put into practise. Such practices destroy the works of satan. This is indeed what the Comforter has come to teach. Because what the flesh has taught you instead is how to smear excrement on people. It consists in stealing, deceit, murder, falsehood, fornication, trouble-making, and destruction. You are taught about war, stealing, anger, weeping, lamentations, division, diabology and other things that do not give glory unto God. But the Comforter has come to give the real teaching which derives from Him.

That is why the scripture says that if any of you says he is prudent let him become a fool that he may be wise. (1 Cor 3:18) I am pleading with you today, which is the Spirited Children's Meeting, that if you had been wise, whether you had been a lawyer, professor, armed robber, prostitute, native doctor, bishop or whatever you are in this world, comply with the lessons of the Supernatural Teacher who is now on earth. Whatever knowledge you acquire in this world gives you the impetus to "find your way to money" and the end of it is hell. There is no knowledge or teaching in this world which leads to this Kingdom of God. All that the world struggles for ends here. There is no person who seeks for eternal life, or glory, but all your worldly teachings lead you to hell. It is for this reason that you steal, tell lies, indulge in the preparation of concoction, offer and receive bribe, kill and bear false witness. All these are done in order that you may be rich. But upon all the struggling, how much wealth have you acquired for yourself?

Wars result from your deeds. You kill with guns and do not bother. You ask, and receive not because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. (James 4:3). Notice that God knows the hearts of all the inhabitants of the world that this world is but empty. When God created heaven and earth, all precious things you can imagine were found embedded in the soil. There was no room for hunger. God arranged everything for man. Read Ezekiel 28:13-14. You had heard that there was no hunger, lack, sickness and hatred. Why was it so? The tabernacle of God was with man. But since man disobeyed God, he was rusticated and driven out of the garden, the wonderful land. He was sent to the hard rocks.

Brethren, you can steal, you are hard hearted, charging your brother who eats in your house, receiving money for any service rendered. You demand to know how much you will be paid for drawing these charges, how much money do you have? What wealth have you accumulated for yourself?

Do you know that heaven and earth belong to God, the earth and its fullness belong to God? Who shall ascend unto the hill of the Lord, (Ps 24:3) or who shall dwell in His holy place? He who had clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted his soul unto vanity nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the lord. Right now, amongst all the whites and black, who is the man whose heart is pure and whose hands are clean, who has not given his soul to deceit and vanity. Mention just one person. Rather, there are plans to kill in order to have money, indulge in diabology for protection, deceive and do many things for self aggrandizement. Upon all these struggles, where is the money?

It is on this basis that the Supernatural Teacher has come to lead mankind to the accurate wisdom of the truth. His teaching leads to heaven. More importantly it endows us with glory, wealth, and eternal life. Our golden text will now be read. Listen to the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Have you heard that? Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and its righteousness and all other things shall be added unto you. (Matt 6:33/Luke 12:31) You have first to clear undergrowth of a bush, before you trim the top trees and allow the trash to dry before you set fire. The first thing is for us to have the knowledge of God; show the expression of love, truth, patience, peace, mercy, goodness, humility and all the virtues of God. It is the premier requirement in this Kingdom. It will give us glory, wealth and everlasting life.

The lessons delivered to us everyday are meant for each and every one of us to practise. We should not teach since we are not teachers. It is on this basis that it is said that God is a Spirit and true worshippers must worship God in Spirit and in truth. (John 4:24) We have to practise his teachings. We should possess love, peace, and all other virtues of God. He teaches us love, we should therefore, possess love. He teaches us mercy, we should have faith, patience, and peace. Have you not observed the practice of these lessons. These lessons are before us to put into practice.

You have problems and difficulties because many of you do not possess love, mercy, patience, and peace. That is why you are in a very pathetic situation. In spite of what the Holy Spirit has taught us, a brother still takes court action against his brother, a brother still snatches his brother's wife and a sister, her sister's husband. A brother still extorts another, and speaks evil against another. From where do you derive such doctrines? Has the Holy Spirit ever taught you to take court action against any person? Or that you should receive bribe, tell lies, curse, snatch people's husband, indulge in diabologies? Where do you learn these doctrines from?

It is not coming here everyday that matters, but putting the daily lessons into practice. He alone is the teacher, all of us are students. Do not teach your child by precept how to do good. Do good yourself and your wife, children and every one around you will follow your example. Do not beguile or vilify any person. You are taught to love, to show mercy, live in peace, to be humble. It is for each and every one of us to practise His teachings. The Holy Spirit has no business with quarrelling, fornication, strife, diabology, fighting or with other vices you commit.

It has been said in the laws and the prophets that God shall teach them all things and those who receive His teachings shall follow me. Do you realise that God is teaching us, the Holy Spirit is teaching us everything and those who believe in this teaching are those who will follow our Lord Jesus Christ? It is said, many are called but few are chosen.(Matt 22:14) Who are those called? These are all of us. Who are the chosen? Those who practise his teachings. He heals us free of charge. He elects us free of charge. When we sin, and confess of our sins, and become truly repentant, he forgives us, and does not impute sins on us. He does not disgrace us. He does not blaspheme against us. He does not drive us away never has He quarrelled with any person.

Each of us knows how much we have disgraced and insulted God. We are aware of the abominable life we live aimed at disgracing God. Have you heard that the Holy Spirit is quarrelling with you or getting angry with you? Many people have been to Brotherhood and backslide for many years during which they do many unseemly things. When they come back do you observe whether He gets angry with you or quarrel with you? Whenever you come, he receives you, and rejoices with even those who do not come here. The Holy Spirit serves every person in the world equally. Many who are here do not practise any word of God. They indulge in diabologies, take to medication, tell lies, fornicate, extort in different ways. Do you find Him angry or driving them, or frowning against Him?

He expresses the practicality of His love. He teaches us love, mercy, truth, patience, humility, and other attributes. He has no other nature. He has no business with any form of sin. Do not go to tell people that you are a Brotherhood. Even when you tell lies, or fornicate, you will still want people to believe that you are a Brotherhood. That is not Brotherhood you are practising. When you were not yet called, you did not know that drinking, fornication, stealing, quarrelling are sinful. But today, amongst us all, who does not know that those things are not required. If you had always paid back evil for evil, since we started disgracing people, have we noticed any change in the Holy Spirit, or how he turns round to fight us?

When you give instructions to your child or wife or husband once or twice but he will not listen, you will discontinue with him. But with God, in spite of our sins, He continues to love us. He teaches us love, shows mercy, enriches and praises us. He bestows all good things to us and His promises are more abundant. Those who groan and moan, he attends to them and caters for their needs, blesses and uplifts them. He blesses thieves, ghosts and apparition. He has liberated every person.

Brethren, a stroke of the cane is sufficient unto the wise. We shall not be tedious unto you. He who has ears let him hear. May God bless His Holy Words. A-men!
