BRETHREN, we have something of interest that we want to reveal to you today. I have considered it my sole responsibility to check your spiritual knots and do the normal overhauling from time to time, so that what is slack may not be put out of joint but rather that it may be healed, tightened and straightened.

THE WORLD IS BLIND AND IGNORANT

I have observed that the whole world is blind and ignorant, not knowing the way out of this world's snares of materialism. Because all those who claim to have money do not want to give out their money to others who have none. Or rather should I say, that they do not want to save themselves by means of giving away these unrighteous riches, for these will fail them and they will not have peace of mind if they fail to give. Also those who do not have this world means living are finding ways of duping others, which means that they themselves also do not want to save themselves and to be at peace.

Brethren, the whole world is pitiful, for no one is prepared to be saved. Anyone sensible will not pick any money he sees on the road because it does not belong to him. Do you know that to pick money on the road which does not belong to you leads you to destruction, the same with stealing three kobo that belongs to another person? Also if anybody obtains money from another person under false pretence it is disastrous and punishable by law. It is said that if you do not work, you should not eat, you must only eat from the sweat of your labour. If you agree with some one on salary of 10 Naira a month, then at the end of the month, he inadvertently pays you more than the agreed amount and if you do not return the extra payment to your employer it is dangerous.

What has brought untold sorrows to the whole world is that they are reaping from where they did not sow. This has brought sickness, distress, scarcity, poverty, tribulations and death to humanity. Who is he that reaps from where he did not sow? He is that fellow who does not want to work but wants to eat; or if possible defraud others. Do you think you are free? There is no one created by God to remain idle and lazy, then expect to have his daily food. If there is, such one is a son of perdition.

From the day that you have the understanding of God’s Word, if somebody should call on you and and give you 20 Naira, you must think carefully what you have done to him to deserve such a gift, or if there is anything that you are to do for him in return before you will accept such a present. I am grateful to God because this gospel will be circulated to all parts of the world so that you may bear in mind always this order and exhortation that you should not eat food from anyone free; that you should not obtain anything from anyone whom you have not worked for. This has brought the present world to its disastrous condition.

Women have suffered because of this, parents and children have all suffered the same fate because it is God's divine order that you should only eat food that you earn. Therefore what hope has anybody who does not work when he is fit to do so, but becoming lazy and getting food or things from people? What hope of life has he? You who receive and do not give out, neither do you work for that which you receive, do you not know that you are signing your death sentence? Do you not know that impostors will also come to you and deceive you and snatch your ill-gotten wealth from you? If you cheat anybody with one kobo, you must receive punishment for doing so. If you pray as long as you can or fast as many days as possible you must be punished.

This is what made that rich man to be grieved, because the ways and means of gaining his riches were not proper. It was through cheating and robbing and deceit, and therefore he had no rest of mind and was not free. Satan is lazy. God and His children are never lazy, they use their hands to work and to eat what they earn. Therefore if you do not use your hands to work either for your father, brother, relative or mother, do not eat their food free.

THE DISADVANTAGE

When you look to people to do things for you and you continue getting things from them free, you are selling your wisdom glory and your rightful place to such people. Why not learn from the experiences of Esau and Jacob? It was because of them that the whole nation of Israel suffered. You remembered that Esau came along from the field one day and was so tired and hungry, he was unable to endure it, so he said to his brother please, give me just a spoon of that red pottage. His brother required him to sell his birthright to him. With hunger and tiredness, Esau said: "Here I am simply going to die, and of what benefit is a birthright to me?" Do you see how you despise your positions today? Esau sold his birthright for just a spoon of red pottage. From that day all misfortunes came his way. This is exactly what happens to you today, and when this happens, you attribute it to juju and witchcraft or to your enemies or some other people you think are responsible for your misfortune. You are the master of your own fortune, you eat someone's food without working for it. You of course reap the punishment that Esau received. Notwithstanding this outstanding less, yet today you see people campaigning looking to people to give them money when they have not done anything worthy. Such ones must understand that if they receive anything from someone free when they are quite normal to work, they are receiving punishment. I do not say that any poison is contained in the presents given you but it is contrary to God's divine instruction which says: 'If anyone does not work, neither let him eat.' ALL SHOULD EAT FOOD EARNED BY THEMSELVES, do not accept anything you have not labored for, whether from your parents or relatives.

Jacob also received his own share of punishment, because he was not worthy of the blessing he received from Isaac. He was an imposter, a deceiver, he misled Isaac and for doing so, although he received the blessing yet in the end, he received punishment, together with all his household. If you read through the sad experience of Jacob and his children, the punishment they later on received from reaping where they did not sow, another day you will not receive one kobo from anyone if you do not labor or toil for it; the punishment that Jacob and his children received was so great. Do not seek another's position that has been given him. Even though anybody tells you to give 50 kobo to obtain such a position, please do not seek the downfall of others for this will lead you to destruction. Do not seek for unjust profits. If you retain unjust profits you will receive punishment. There is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving. If you continue to receive when you are supposed to give, you will receive punishment, sickness, or death. But all goodness and reward goes to the one who gives. That is why Christ said to that young man. "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your belongings, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven." But he became grieved. We are really very fortunate for this wonderful light of help in these days so that we may know how to keep our keep our riches in heaven, because we do not know where all these money come from, therefore by giving them to the poor we will be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous ones. In the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ. A-men

WORK WITH YOUR HANDS AND EARN YOU LIVING

From today, do not put your trust in nobles or in any son of man, but each day use you hands and work, labor and toil for here you will receive blessing and have what to give out to others who are in need. If you look into the whole world you will notice that it is vacant: why? The nations of mankind have sold their rightful place either to their parents or relatives or to other nations of the world and thereby enslaved themselves, and are not free to serve God. Take for instance in the whole Nigeria, who are the rich men among them? It is because you want the white man to do everything for you. Each time you ask for a loan, you use it and do not pay back; in another short while you turn to another nation for loan, by so doing you are selling your fortune, your glory, and your riches to those nations. Just for a spoonful of pottage or loan you despise your position as a nation. Whom will you blame? But you will turn to say that God loves the white man more than the black man, of course that is not true, because they are willing to give out and are willing to use their hands to labour for what to eat, they are not lazy. If they have nothing to eat, they may polish shoes for people, or convey luggage for people, sweep their houses, wash people's clothes, or and they will be paid and thereby have money with which to feed themselves, and also receive blessing from God for obeying His divine instruction. If the white man have not practiced any of God's Word, they have kept this particular one. This gospel will bring greater progress to this Country and other Countries of the world because you have accused evil forces, your enemies and witchcrafts as being responsible for you sufferings and downfall. This is not true, it is your ingratitude and failure to practise this gospel.

AVOID UNJUST DEMANDS

For instance an employer, who earns N100 a month happens to be approached by an applicant, he knows there is a vacancy to employ this man but demands money from this person who is an applicant and may be this fellow has no hope of his day's food. Do you not see that this employer has invited trouble into his family, infact a great ruin to himself? Nobody has the right to obtain even one kobo from anyone in order to employ him. Even though it is government work, or department or Mission, all these are God's own field of work. There is no reason why anyone in authority should demand money from anybody before he is employed.

Another unjust demand is the disastrous trade in marriage. The bargain you impose in the marriage of your daughters is unscriptural and any amount obtained as PRICE is detrimental. How much did you pay to God who gave you that child.

GOD'S ARRANGEMENT IN EQUITY

Brethren, this is how God's arrangement should function: that is, if you are employed, you must show gratitude to the person who assisted you to get employed. Even if you should give out N200, this is not bad it is not a demand but of a free will offering and it is given as a sign of appreciation. That is equity. Unless you show such appreciation you have not yet got employment, you will not have peace in that office, there will be no progress and no promotion for you. You must not eat someone's food free. Likewise with land, if you are given a piece of land to build a house or to farm on, you must show gratitude to the giver otherwise you would not have peace in that place. Go and show appreciation to the giver and feel free.

MARRIAGE RESPONSIBILITY

Some of you may fall in love with a lady and eventually take her to be your wife without meeting the parents of the lady, but thanking God for providing you a wife. Watch out! The end of these two people, their children and the entire house will end in ruins and chaos. Both of them are in fire. If any one has accepted you in marriage go and meet the parents with heartfelt appreciation and gratefulness. And you, the wife, do not rejoice because you have got a husband and say therefore that it will cost you nothing. You must also show gratitude for having a husband. That is why many people say that the English marriage is much better than the Blackman's marriage. This is true, because when a marriage is contracted in the English way of life, the husband will bring his riches and the wife will also bring her own, then the two ends will meet. But here with the Blackman, only the husband has to bring money, but the wife will march in carefree into what she calls "my husband's home": which home? You have contributed nothing. In the English marriage, if the wife is educated, then the husband must pay back the fees of her education, the proposed wife must be prepared to pay the fees of the husband education, both sides must be equally attended to before marriage is solemnized. If you are an educated child, your parents expect you to pay them the money they used in educated you: if you fail to do so you will not be free and you are a debtor. These instructions are from God and not man. Do not eat anybody's food freely. You must labour and toil with your hand and earn your food. Let our first Bible lesson be read.

"WHEN the young man heard this saying, he went away grieved, for he was holding many possessions?"

What word did that young man hear that automatically turned him back grieved? Why was he said to have been holding many possessions? Was it not because of being dubious? Giving out N20 to somebody and expecting 100% interest in return. Employing people on agreed rate of 50 kobo but paying them 20 kobo instead. That is why Christ said: 'Truly I say to you that it will be a difficult thing for a rich man to get into the kingdom of the heavens.'

LOTTERY, POOLS, RAFFLE, MONEY DOUBLING IS STEALING

The lottery and pool business is the exploitation of the poor. The poor man contributed 20 kobo or 30 kobo but with your smartness, you exploits him through gambling, this is extortion. How could you give just 10 kobo and receive 2,000 Naira? Is this not stealing? Is this not extortion? You cannot escape being punished, on the last day. Tell me how you will put in 10 kobo in a machine and it gives you 10,000 Naira? Where does all these money come from? They are not yours. Give back what you gave otherwise you become a robber. This is why it is said that a rich man will not get into the kingdom of heaven. He has no peace, he is not free unless he returns all that money which are not his to the owners. Have you ever seen a rich man spending one kobo if he has no hope of any profit forthcoming even in his family circle? Therefore since they have not sought for themselves a good land, where will they be at the resurrection of the righteous one?

Take for instance, a young man who earns N20 naira a month, but in six months he puts on a storey building, again in the next six months he puts up another building; where does he get all this money? Is he the only worker there? What they call business will show up in no time and the entire family will go into ruins. Sometimes you will hear people saying that a man received so-so amount from me and failed to pay back. Do you know how he himself had deceived other people and made away with their money? He must also be deceived. All those who deceive, others must deceive them. God says whatever you would like others to do to you, do so to others first. Is this not the source of your disaster? Think of the money doublers! Somebody calls on you to give him N40 and he will give you N80. That man and yourself who is the thief? Are you not the one? The hardships, distress, suffering that have met pool, lottery stakers, rafflers and money doublers are unspeakable. The love of money is the root of all evil and by reaching out for this love some have been led astray from the faith and have stabbed themselves all over with many pains. Beloved this way is disastrous. Others organize themselves into gangs and perform highway robbery -the night is dangerous! Do they read this portion of the Bible, that their house, themselves and family have perished? That is why God says that we should be satisfied in the position that he has given to each of us and use our hand to labor and toil and earn our food.

If anybody gives you money, no matter how small it may be, do not fail to work for that money in return. Whatever a person does to you do not accept for gratis, so that you might obtain blessing from God. Do not deceive anybody even with 1 kodo, either in your house, with your wife, children or with you co-workers, so that you may not perish. May we have our second Bible lesson read, for this is where punishment comes upon the entire inhabited earth today.

"But wicked men and impostors will advance from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived."

I desire that you read this portion of the Bible once more at your leisure. So that you may know that if you have deceived anyone, and in turn someone else deceives you, what then is your gain? There is nothing that you will do to another man that will not be done to you in return. Pray as you may, and fast as you can, it must surely come to pass. "With the measure that you are measuring out to others it shall be measured out to you again."

A WORLD OF DECEPTION

Do you not see how women are deceiving men and how they are being deceived, how men are deceiving women and in turn how they are being deceived? The whole world is filled with deception. Doctors, money doublers, lawyers are on the job of deceiving and being in turn deceived. Traders, contractors every field of business in the world is full of deceit. What then is the profit? The whole world is naked before God in their parade of deceptions.

If the world were to apply itself to the instructions of God, things would not have been like this. God says freely you received, you must also give freely. You are counseled not to feed the lazy person, and that we ourselves should not be lazy. Again you are warned not to eat any man's food free, this includes your wife's food, your parent's food, your children's and also God's own food. You must work for it. Today many of those who cared for our education are crying, looking forward to us to pay them the cost and that is why many of you who are educated do not have peace because you have failed to pay back the money that was spent in your education either to your parents, relatives community or government. Another ground is that some of you must have received help from friends, neighbors or villagers, but have failed to give back such help in return. They have not received any benefit from you, since they are regretting over the help given you; how can you have peace of mind. Greedy persons do not give out but expect to receive. Some of you are chronic debtors, debts that you will not be able to pay out until your death. You are indebted to both those who love you as well as to those who hate you.

BEWARE OF ENTERTAINMENTS

If you visit a friend and he slaughters a goat to prepare a meal for you, know that your own goat is slaughtered. This is how we meet misfortune. Watch out, the day that that friend will call on you, if you want to prepare a meal with a chicken, he will tell you that the deal was not with a chicken but with a goat. Now you have it! You cannot eat your cake and have it.

To somebody who has got this understanding, he will tell such a house holder, please do not worry to prepare any food, but if he so desires he should get some banana and groundnuts instead this will do, because he knows that he will not have money to pay back. Do you get the sense of it?

Therefore as from today, let this advice become a part of you as your guiding factor. If anybody gives you money please think carefully whether you are worthy to receive that money if not say, "thank you," and remain free. He may be setting a trap for you, he may be looking for greater interest on that amount, so, be careful! Why so you not give the beggar by the road side 2 kobo , but when a rich man buys a car, you give him more money to buy more cars? Is that not "Osusu" (Pyramid scheme) in disguise? Brethren, I do not intend to take you further may the golden text be read.

But when you spread a feast, invite poor people, crippled, lame, blind; and you will be happy, because they have nothing with which to repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous ones."

Since that rich man did not want to give out, what will be his stand on the resurrection of the righteous ones? Let us ask ourselves this question. Those of you who move about collecting money from people and refusing to give out to the poor, at the resurrection of the righteous ones what will be your share? It is said that "we should store up for ourselves in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in an steal." All worldly treasures will perish and if you refuse now to give them out which, (giving out means storing them in heaven) what will happen to these treasures during the regeneration? That is why Christ told that young man to sell his belongings and give to the poor so that he may have treasure in heaven, which he will receive back during the resurrection of the righteous ones, but he refused and left with grief.

DO YOU GIVE TO THE POOR?

Examine yourselves now, do you give to the poor, widows and orphans, so that at the resurrection of the righteous ones you may be repaid? Do not destroy the work of God just for the sake of food. Stop tearing down the work of God just for the sake of money. All your money in your houses and in the banks will result in nothing at the resurrection of the righteous ones, but whatever you give out now to people is what will be repaid to you on that day. If you have not been doing so, start now. Make sure that those you give will not repay you.

Just as the roof leaks, you should put in the required patch and keep everything in its correct place. You are God's husbandry. If you use all that you have to support the poor, you have done a great thing.

Is there any work of God that is great? I say this is the greatest, because there is no loss in it. If your right hand gives anything to the poor, you should not allow your left hand to know what your right hand is doing. If you give to the poor in secret, your heavenly Father who sees in secret, will reward you openly.

God blesses us and replenishes us, through our caring for the needs and wants of the poor. You have been told that the poor ones will go to heaven, so as to show us what this assignment means for our own good. People often pray to God to take away poverty. If God takes the poor people, how will He bless the Children of God.

When you are told to keep your treasure in heaven. Where is heaven? The heaven symbolizes the poor ones. The only bank and treasury of God are the poor people. If you continue to care for the poor, the orphans and the paupers, you have stored you riches in the Kingdom of God.

I have told you before am I am repeating it now, that the whites have gone very fare in this wisdom. Most of the whites have listened to this gospel and have endeavored to put it into practice. They are practicing it in their own way.

Today everybody is crying that there is no money and that the country is going bankrupt. It is not that there is no money; the money is in the hands of a few people.

Whenever money gets to the hands of a rich man he will keep it to himself. The little that a poor person has, will also be taken by him. In fact, he does not want a kobo to leave his hands. If you ask him to give his money to the service of the poor or put it into a church fund, he will refuse.

It is for this reason that the Bible says of how difficult it is for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God. This is why you have been warned not to love the world and the things in the world.

Whoever loves money cannot give anything to the poor. It is very easy for a person who does not love money to love his fellow human beings. Such a person can give his wealth to the poor and needy, and sees to it that the orphans are cared for. This is the greatest work.

You have to feed them and cater for their needs. You can go into a place and find the entire family lying down, too week to move, because they do not have even a kobo to buy food.

You will discover that hunger can force you to things that you would not normally do. If you were to practice this gospel and wear it as a garment, a great deal would have been done for the entire world.

When you involve yourself in football pool, betting and sweepstake, you are wasting your time. Experiment from today. The one naira you would have used on football pool, give it instead to a poor person and continue like this.

I do not say that you will receive the benefit in another world or in the dream. I mean in this world, you will see what happen to you.

What I am telling you is that hidden treasure you have been hearing about. It takes away death in your family, takes away poverty, sickness and wretchedness in your family and village. There is nothing this tradition cannot do for any man. If anyone remembers a poor person, he has remembered God.

When Our Lord Jesus Christ said, "Feed my lambs," who were the lambs? Of course, they are the poor people, the orphans and all those who have no life. If you see a person behaving like a demented fellow it is because he is poor and he behaves in this way to attract some assistance from people.

You can see someone lying with his arms folded there is nothing wrong with him, but poverty. He continues to lie down on the bed because he has nothing else to do. When you offer him prayers, he will thank you. But he may complain that he was very hungry before you offered him prayers.

It is your place to do something to satisfy, that hunger. You know that hunger and sickness go together. When you leave this place for a ministry work there are some homes that you will find small children crying. They can beat up their mother and threaten the father. There is nothing the person can do because they have no money to buy them food.

When you see those on the wayside, the blind, lame, crippled, those in hospitals, clinics, prison camps, those in affliction and tribulation, it is your place to help and assist them. This is your chance to get out of the hell fire by heeding to this timely instruction. Use this chance to erase your name now in hell by practicing this gospel. Those who practice this gospel are those who will inherit this Kingdom for eternity.

If you are disturbed in mind and you lack peace, it means that you are not liberal, you are lacking love. This is sin on your part and you are definitely in fire. If you use your wealth to help others, you will be compensated with salvation from God. Many people who have money hate themselves. In fact their children are not cared for and their wives do not feed well at least. That is why such rich person have no share in this kingdom, for they know not Christ. This is the time to practice the gospel. If it is a very small child that requires help, give it, for by so doing, you are doing it to God. People suffer because they fail to help others in need.

God has abundantly supplied you with all good things. Then share it with others. This is the ORDER of the day for you eternal salvation. If you are blessed with riches do not think that God loves you more than the one who does not have. If you are given a submissive wife, do not boast as if God loves you more than the one who has the stubborn wife. Use this chance to help others in order to be blessed by God.

Many people in Brotherhood have peace of mind and they enjoy the blessing of God because they are generous, hospitable and liberal; while the avaricious ones are still in hell fire till now. If you decide now that all that you have, belong to the Father, then you have no problem at all. You will not be selfish and greedy over them. Therefore, brethren, go back and sell all that you have and give to the poor; then rededicate yourself to this Kingdom. Use all things for God's glory and to the benefit of the unfortunate ones you meet, and you will have peace and happiness now in this Kingdom, and have your name erased from Hell fire and be written in the book of life for heavenly glory.
