THE MASTER MUST BE THE SERVANT

 FIRST BIBLE LESSON: MATTHEW 23:11

"BUT HE THAT IS GREATEST AMONG YOU SHALL BE YOUR SERVANT."

SECOND BIBLE LESSON: MATTHEW 20:28

"EVEN AS THE SON OF MAN CAME NOT TO BE MINISTERED UNTO, BUT TO MINISTER, AND TO GIVE HIS LIFE A RANSOM FOR MANY."

GOLDEN TEXT: JOHN 14:12

"VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO YOU, HE THAT BELIEVETH ON ME, THE WORKS THAT I DO SHALL HE DO ALSO; AND GREATER WORKS THAN THESE SHALL HE DO; BECAUSE I GO UNTO MY FATHER."

ALL THE GOSPELS YOU RECEIVE HERE DAILY ARE DIRECTLY FROM GOD.

FROM TODAY, JANUARY 1, 1992, EVERYBODY SHOULD BE CAREFUL WHAT THEY DO, FOR THE WORD OF GOD IS NOW RULING IN THE WHOLE WORLD.

You are claiming that if you were Adam, you would not have fallen from the grace of God. You are now claiming that if you were the wife of Lot, you would not have turned into a pillar of salt because you would not have turned back to look at the burning of Sodom and Gomorrah. You are now claiming that if you were around during the days of Our Lord Jesus Christ you would have done better than those who were present with him.

LISTEN VERY ATTENTIVELY TO THE GOSPEL OF TODAY. WHO EVER DESIRES TO BE THE GREATEST AMONG YOU SHOULD BE PREPARED TO BECOME A SERVANT.

To call on the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ is not enough. This will not give you salvation. WHAT WILL GIVE YOU SALVATION IS TO PRACTICE THE GOSPEL OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. IF THE GREATEST AMONG YOU BECOMES THE SERVANT, WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE OTHERS? THEY WILL EMULATE THE GOOD EXAMPLE OF THE OTHERS.

AS THE GREATEST IN YOUR GROUP, YOUR DUTY IS TO SERVE OTHERS UNDER YOU. TO BOAST OF MONEY, CHILDREN, BUILDING OF BETHELS, WILL NOT SAVE YOU. WHAT WILL SAVE YOU IS THE TEACHING OF TODAY, NAMELY THE GREATEST AMONG YOU SHOULD MUST BE THE SERVANT.

WHAT GOD EXPECTS OF MAN:

The collapse of the worldly governments is because the greatest among them are not willing to serve others. WHAT IS PLEASING TO GOD AND WHAT GOD WANTS TO SEE IS THAT THE GREATEST AMONG YOU MUST SERVE OTHERS.

THE FATHER DOES NOT WANT SOMEBODY WHO CONSIDERS HIMSELF A GREAT MAN TO OCCUPY A BIG SEAT AND BEGIN TO GIVE DIRECTIVES TO OTHERS ON WHAT TO DO. WHAT THE FATHER WANTS IS THAT THE GREATEST AMONG YOU MUST BECOME THE SERVANT.

OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS THE GREATEST IN HEAVEN. BUT WHILE HE WAS HERE ON EARTH PHYSICALLY, HE HUMBLED HIMSELF, AND AT ALL TIMES MOVED WITH THE POOR AND LOWLY-PLACED PEOPLE. THAT IS WHY THE TEACHINGS OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST AND HIS HUMILITY ARE PREACHED THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE WORLD DAILY SO THAT EVERYBODY WILL EMULATE HIS GOOD EXAMPLE OF HUMILITY.

*THOUGH HE IS THE SON OF GOD AND THE GREATEST AMONG ALL THE CREATIONS OF GOD, OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST HUMBLED HIMSELF BEFORE EVERYBODY AND HE BECAME A SERVANT UNTO ALL OTHERS.

* FROM TODAY, JANUARY 1, 1992, THE GOSPEL OF TODAY, NAMELY THAT THE GREATEST AMONG YOU MUST BECOME THE SERVANT, MUST BE GIVEN TO ALL THE NEWLY BAPTIZED MEMBERS OF BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR.

*THIS GOSPEL MUST BE GIVEN TO HEADS OF STATE AND LEADER OF GOVERNMENTS, TRADITIONAL RULERS, COMMUNITY LEADERS, KINGS AND GOVERNORS, LEADERS OF BUSINESSES, IN ALL THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD. LET THEM KNOW THAT THE GREATEST AMONG THEM MUST BECOME THE SERVANT UNTO OTHERS.

When I look at the world tears flow from my eyes. The whole world must be pitied. THE WORLD IS IGNORANT ABOUT THE WISHES OF GOD.

*THE FIRST THING TO DO IS TO RECOGNIZE GOD AND PRACTICE THE TEACHINGS OF GOD. YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO YOUR RULER BECAUSE HE HAS TO GIVE ACCOUNT OF ALL YOUR ACTIVITIES. DO NOT ALLOW HIM TO WORK IN SORROWS BECAUSE IT WILL NOT PROFIT YOU.

* IF THE BLIND LEADS THE BLIND, BOTH WILL FALL. THE WHITES AND THE BLACKS BOTH CLAIM TO KNOW GOD. BUT HAVE THEY RECOGNIZED GOD? HAVE THEY PRACTICED HIS TEACHINGS?

PROLIFERATION OF CHURCHES:

There is proliferation of churches in the world. Everybody wants to be at the head of any organization. They, however do not want to serve others. You have not been able to take care of your own house, how can you take care of others? HOW CAN YOU PROVIDE FREEDOM TO OTHERS WHEN YOU ARE NOT FREE?

WHY PEOPLE SUFFER:

THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD SUFFER BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT RECOGNIZED GOD, AND THEY HAVE NOT PRACTICED THE TEACHINGS OF GOD.

GOD IS POWER. EVERYBODY WANTS TO SEE GOD, TO SEE GOD AND QUERY GOD ON WHY THINGS ARE NOT GOING WELL. IF GOD WAS NOT POWER, HE WOULD HAVE BEEN TORN TO PIECES BY THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN QUERYING HIM ABOUT THE STATE OF AFFAIRS IN THE WORLD.

GOD IS POWER:

SINCE GOD IS POWER, HE RULES OVER THE WHOLE WORLD-IRRESPECTIVE OF THE INIQUITIES OF MAN. THE WORLD HAS REACHED AN INTOLERABLE STAGE WHERE THE WICKED ONES HAVE TO BE PREVENTED FROM CONTINUING WITH THEIR WICKED ACTS.

The world does not want to hear the gospel. The people of the world do not want to practice the teachings of God. The atrocities and sins of the world have reached an intolerable limit.

There is frustration in the world because people's expenditures are higher than their incomes. What we should do IS TO PRACTICE THE TEACHINGS OF GOD. IF YOU WANT TO BE GREAT YOU MUST BE A SERVANT.

*YOU HAVE TO THINK OF THE WELFARE OF OTHERS. YOU HAVE TO SERVE OTHERS. DO NOT STRUGGLE FOR MONEY, DO NOT STRUGGLE FOR POSITION AND POWER. THE GREATEST AMONG YOU MUST BE THE SERVANT. THIS IS THE ONLY PATH OF SALVATION. THIS IS THE ONLY SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEMS OF THE WORLD.

*THOSE WHO PRACTICE THIS GOSPEL WILL NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS IN THE WORLD. YOU MUST HAVE FAITH IN GOD. YOU MUST RECEIVE THE TEACHINGS OF GOD AND YOU MUST PRACTICE THE TEACHINGS OF GOD. WHEN YOU DO THIS YOU WILL HAVE NO PROBLEMS IN LIFE.

Native doctors, secret societies, hospitals, churches, religious organizations have no power. How will you overcome the tribulations which are on the way coming into the world? THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO PRACTICE THE TEACHINGS OF GOD. EACH OF YOU HAS A CROWN KEPT FOR YOU BY GOD. IF YOU PRACTICE THE TEACHINGS OF GOD AND YOU ENDURE TO THE END, YOU WILL RECEIVE THE CROWN GOD HAS KEPT FOR YOU.

*OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST DID GREAT WORKS BY THE SPOKEN WORD. HE DID NOT USE CANDLES. HE DID NOT BEAT DRUMS. HE SPOKE THE WORD AND PEOPLE WERE HEALED OF TERRIBLE SICKNESSES, AND HE RAISED THE DEAD BACK TO LIFE.

*IF YOU WANT GOD TO BLESS YOU AND GIVE YOU POWER, THEN PRACTICE THIS GOSPEL OF TODAY, NAMELY THAT THE GREATEST AMONG YOU MUST BE THE SERVANT.

*OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST CAME AND TAUGHT US THE WAYS OF GOD. IF WE FAIL TO HARKEN TO THE TEACHINGS OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST HOW SHALL WE BE SAVED?

*IF YOU WORK FOR GOD, BE SURE THAT GOD WILL WORK FOR YOU. IF YOU DO SOMETHING FOR GOD, BE CONFIDENT THAT GOD WILL DO SOMETHING FOR YOU. IF YOU CALL ON GOD, THEN GOD WILL ANSWER YOU AND SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM.

*OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST DID NOT CURSE ANYBODY. HE DID NOT JUDGE ANYBODY. HE DID NOT IMPUTE SINS ON ANYBODY.

With all the teachings you have received here, you still go out and curse people, you still impute sins on others, judge others and commit all sorts sin. You have eyes but you cannot see. You have ears but you cannot hear.

IF OUR LORD JESUS DID NOT GIVE HIS LIFE FOR US, HOW WOULD WE HAVE BEEN SAVED? IF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST DID NOT SERVE US, HOW WOULD WE HAVE BEEN SAVED?

*THE RUSSIANS DID NOT BELIEVE IN GOD AND THEY CONDEMNED RELIGIOUS PEOPLE AS LAZY PEOPLE. WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE MONEY AND THE MILITARY POWER WHICH THE RUSSIANS HAD ACCUMULATED? WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE RUSSIANS WHO BOASTED ABOUT THEIR HARD WORK? WHAT IS THE SITUATION IN RUSSIA TODAY? ARE THEY NOT AMONG THE POOREST PEOPLE?

*HOW MANY OF YOU BELIEVE THAT GOD IS IN YOUR MIDST? IF YOU HAD COME TO THE REALIZATION OF THE TRUTH THAT GOD IS IN YOUR MIDST, HOW MANY OF YOU WOULD HAVE OPENED YOUR MOUTH TO SAY A WORD OR COMMIT ALL THE ATROCITIES WHICH YOU HAVE BEEN COMMITTING IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD?

**THE COMFORTER HAS NOW COME TO LEAD YOU TO THE ACCURATE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH.

**LISTEN TO HIS TEACHINGS AND PRACTICE THEM. THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS COME TO EXERCISE AUTHORITY ALL OVER THE WORLD AND TO GUARANTEE SALVATION.

If the Holy Spirit had not come, the Nigerian Civil War would have developed into a Third World War. You are witnesses to the manifestation of the Holy Spirit on earth, yet you have continued to perpetrate wicked acts. THE WORLD HAS REJECTED THE TEACHINGS OF GOD, AND THAT IS WHY TRIBULATIONS HAVE ENGULFED THE WORLD.

*IF YOU PRACTICE THE TEACHINGS OF TODAY, THE GLORY OF GOD WILL BE MANIFESTED IN YOU. Brotherhood of the Cross and Star seeks nothing from anybody. Brotherhood has come to do something for mankind free.

I preach to you morning, afternoon, every night and all the time, yet you have not changed. GO AND PRACTICE THE GOSPEL OF TODAY AND ALL THE GOOD THINGS OF LIFE WHICH YOU DESIRE WILL BE GRANTED UNTO YOU.

*TELL THE WHOLE WORLD TO PRACTICE THE GOSPEL OF TODAY AND ALL YOUR SORROWS WILL VANISH. DO NOT REQUEST FOR ANYTHING. PRACTICE THE GOSPEL OF TODAY AND THE WHOLE GLORY OF GOD IN YOU WILL BE REVEALED.

*FROM 1992, THE CHILDREN OF GOD WHO HAVE WORKED HONESTLY FOR GOD WILL BE REWARDED. YOU WILL RECEIVE PEACE, JOY, AND HAPPINESS.

***IF YOU DO NOT RECEIVE POWER FROM ABOVE YOU CANNOT DO ANYTHING SUCCESSFULLY. WHEN YOU PRACTICE THE WORD OF GOD THEN JEHOVAH GOD AND HIS CHRIST WILL LIVE IN YOU AND THE GLORY OF GOD WILL BE MANIFESTED IN YOU. HUMBLE YOURSELF AND SERVE OTHERS. LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS GOD HAS LOVED YOU.

*LET THE WORD OF GOD DWELL RICHLY IN YOU AND THE GLORY AND POWER OF GOD WILL BE REVEALED IN YOU.

*DO NOT SEEK AFTER YOUR GLORY, DO NOT BE SELFISH. SEEK THE WELFARE OF OTHERS.

**THE GREATEST AMONG YOU MUST BE THE SERVANT. HE MUST SERVE OTHERS. DO NOT SIT DOWN LIKE A KING AND GIVE DIRECTIVES TO OTHERS TO DO SOMETHING. PROVIDE SERVICE TO OTHERS. BY SO DOING YOU WILL PROVIDE THE LEADERSHIP BY YOUR GOOD EXAMPLE.

When those whom you are leading observe that the greatest among them is the servant and is serving rather than waiting for others to serve him, then all of them will stand up and provide services to one another.

One stroke of the cane is enough for the wise. I do not want to be tedious with you. Let those who have ears hear. Amen.

THANK YOU HOLY FATHER.
