Brethren, what is read to you constitutes the theme of our lesson this morning. There is every element of truth in the statement made "And whosoever speaketh a word a against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come." It is same as the passage which says, "...how hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! for it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God." It is also exactly as the story of Shylock and Anthony. Anthony was indebted to Shylock to the tune of a large sum of money. If Anthony was unable to refund; Shylock was to get a pound of flesh from near his heart. During The judgement, it was held that a pound of flesh should be exacted as earlier agreed upon but that no drop of blood should spill on the ground. How will it be possible to cut off a pound of flesh from a person's body without spilling blood? How will a camel pass though the eye of a needle? How will it be possible that when you blaspheme against the Son of Man, you will be forgiven?

It is said, I and the Father are one, God is the Word. It is said, whoever makes blasphemous statements will not be forgiven; such a person stands to perish. Whoever allows evil communications to proceed out of his mouth is defenseless. The message here is short, do not let evil words proceed out of your mouth. Do not speak evil because what brings confusion and trouble into the world, are evil utterances of your mouth. Who is the Holy Spirit? Is it not the Word? "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word of God." That is why we are told not to utter evil words. Do not make vile statements. Whenever evil words proceed out of your mouth, you are at your wits end.

Your mother does not kill you, your father does not kill you, it is the word of your mouth that kills, because whoever speaks evil is in danger of such a word rebounding on him.

The word is God. That, means when you speak evil words, you have defiled and disgraced God. Then you speak evil words, these words will bounce on you as a boomerang wand this alone makes peace in your life an illusion. You are afraid of witchcraft, mermaid and apparition; who is witchcraft? It is the word. What is mermaid? It is the word. What is apparition, it is the word. All these evil tendencies are words. Who is the Holy Spirit? It is the word of God. What is the evil Spirit? Is it not evil words?

Whoever professes to be a man of God but does not bridle his tongue, his religion is vain. In many things we offend, but if there is any person who does not offend with his tongue, such a person is perfect. You can be forgiven if you smite someone; you can be for given when you refuse somebody food and if you refuse giving alms, you can be forgiven but the moment you say to somebody, woe betides you, and rain buses on him, it will not be forgiven you.

You are witnesses to the fact that you can erect and handover a magnificent building to person gratis, but when any evil word proceeds out of your mouth to defile the beneficiary, it makes the gift useless and worthless to him. You can get hold of somebody and smite him hard, a bystander may instigate that you hit really hard, torture him, torment him. He will no longer be crossed with you but rather with the person insinuating. Something serious can happen to you, instead of somebody coming to console you he will begin to fan the ember of anger that that thing happens to you because you because you are so proud, pompous and arrogant. You may forget about what is happening, to you and turn vent your anger for insinuations.

GOO WORDS ARE BETTER THAN GOLD

That is why it is said whosoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, shall be forgiven but whosoever speaks evil against the Holy Spirit shall not be forgiven neither, in this world, nor in the world to come. What sets fire into the entire world is the evil words that proceed out of your mouth. The word is like a piece of dry bamboo, the moment it is broken, that end it, there will be no way of joining it again.

You have also heard the first lesson read to you. It says that whosoever is angry with his brother, is in danger of judgement: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council of the Sahedrin; but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be liable to the punishment of hell fire. No pleading will help you out. It confirms the statement of Our Lord Jesus Christ which says, whosoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

We should not toy with the Word, because the Word is God. Anybody who speaks vile words has no forgiveness. Do not think that it is that person or the other man who wants to kill or harm you, it is the evil words from your mouth which are capable of killing you. When somebody orders you to withdraw our vain statement, it is comparable to somebody who fires a gun with bullets at another person, when the person dies, can you withdraw the bullets from the deceased and make him whole and alive again?

Our Jesus Christ who is the Son of God, and God himself knows the efficacy of words and that is, why he says, that whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council. He alone understands that the Word is God, that is why you have never heard him making evil utterances. That was why when satan told Him, if you are really the Son of God command that this stone be made bread.

And he answered saying, it has been written, man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. Good words bring forth goodness and evil word evil communication brings forth evil things. There are good words in the mouth of a parrot he commences his statement with evil.

You claim yourselves wise people, professors, you claim you can go to the moon, and to the planets, why do you not understand that when evil words proceed out of your mouth, these words are capable of killing you.

If you have food to give to somebody who has not got food, do so, but if you do not have, speak no evil against him; leave him alone. Even if it is your wife; do not speak evil against her. If you can beat her up since you take delight in beating people up, since you will share in the pain but be sure you do not speak what is evil.

There is nothing in this world capable of destroying the world. If you damage somebody's property, it is easier to buy or mend it for him, but the word is not amendable. When at the battlefield, unless the commander orders that soldiers should fire, they cannot fire. If you are taken to a court, if the Chief Judge does not sentence you to any term of imprisonment or fine, you cannot be convicted. If you go to somebody's house and he brings out a bag full of money and places before you with the intention of giving it to you, you cannot dip your hands into the bag to take the money unless he tells you to do so.

Whoever does anything to defile or distort he word, has defiled himself, and has himself to blame. Brethren, I do hot want to take you further because this is a very short and explicit gospel, which is understood by you and me all the inhabitants of the world. It is merely given so that you will know your relative stand; that you are doing, and the punishment you are inflicting upon yourself and upon the whole world. It is said, you who are uncircumcised in the heart and in the ear, you continue to resist the Holy Spirit. Do you not realize that when you speak evil "that you are resisting the Holy Spirit? It is said that on the day of judgement every person will recount the vain words that proceeded from his mouth. The hand does not cause trouble in the world, the legs do not, food does not, money does not, out evil words cause trouble in the world.

ONLY GENTLE AND PEACEFUL WORDS CAN REBUILD THE WORLD

Neither money, nor house, nor food can rebuild the world. The only thing that can perfect the world is good words, the Holy Spirit. Let Our First Lesson be read. Listen attentively to what happens, what will happen and what had happened.

Brethren, have you heard that? It is the same statement made by Our Lord Jesus Christ that whosoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, shall be forgiven but whosoever speaks evil, distorts the word, defiles a man, is defiling himself and no other person. Similarly whoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. It is a clear thing that your punishment in hell-fire starts immediately you make such utterances, even in a jovial manner.

Right from now, that you have known that the Word is God, you have also realised that all that proceeds out of your mouth is God. You should know how to control your tongue. Even if somebody wants to pluck out your eyes will learn to keep quiet. What was used in destroying the world? It Was the word. Without the word, there is nothing made that made. The Word kills and also keeps alive. If right from today the inhabitants of the entire world including angels retrace their steps and learn to seek good words, you will see what men will be capable of doing throughout the world. Somebody can wink his eyes at your sight, or can frown his face, or make some unpleasant gestures, or become fastidious, but all these can be forgiven him. Somebody, who rolls on the ground, weeps, wails, and laments, will be forgiven. When you speak evil it is unpardonable.

If you do know that the word is God, you should not defile or misuse or distort it. Should you try to misuse it, then you have missed yourself. All the words you speak come to manifest in you. Somebody may exclaim that, he will die in an accident. It has been written against him. At anytime, he will die in an accident. Another person may say that he will die, no matter the circumstances, he will also die because he has made the pronouncement upon himself. In your office you may intend to take some casual leave to attend to some pressing family problems. For your reason you may deceive your head of department that an elderly person is dead in your family. Your reason will sound enough for the leave to be granted. Not long after, an elderly person in your family actually dies. In another circumstance, you may claim that you are sick and so apply for sick Leave, whereas you are perfectly well. Not long after, the vibration of the word would go forward and bounces back as a boomerang and become eventuated. Sickness will accordingly beset you. You may deny that you have money whereas you have some money in the house, not long after, you will not find money left in your house. At times you may help people, and after playfully say that you will no longer do any good thing to anybody but as a matter of fact, you no longer can do good people. This is the efficacy of words.

When you' say that your village is very bad, that there is no good thing in it. Where will you get the good thing from? Have you not realized the words which say, whosoever speaks against the Son of Man, shall be forgiven: but whosoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, will such be forgiven? When you make the pronouncements upon yourself that when you do good, you are paid back with bad coins; who will ever do good to you when you have already made evil pronouncements upon yourself? When you say God does not love me, God has departed from me, God has punished me, God does not exist. These words stand manifested. There is a local adage which says that the mouth of a monkey kills the monkey and not the monkey itself. It is your mouth that kills you.

It is out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. An evil man speaks from the evil treasures of his heart. A good man speaks out of he good treasures of his heart. The tongue is only a messenger. If it is not sent, it will not go on an errand. That is why it is said, "...whosoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit..." You can deny any person food or garment or accommodation or anything at all; but do not say anything that is evil against any person. What we have to realize is that he who comes from heaven is greater than he who is on earth. He who comes from earth, speaks about earthly things, what he hears and what he sees on earth. The one in heaven speaks what he hears and what he sees in heaven but very many people do not believe in him. Always listen to him even if somebody beats you up, do not mind so much about the pains always listen to your spirit.

Why it is said any person who is angry, is that, every evil thing derives from anger. It is with anger that you can speak evil words. Moses said that whosoever kill will be killed, but Our Lord Jesus Christ said whosoever is angry, because killing emanates from anger. Our Lord Jesus Christ was examining the cause and effect of the matter. Killing is the effect of the matter. Moses said whosoever kills, but our Lord Jesus Christ knows that anger is the cause of the effect. What prompts one to kill is anger, that is why he says whosoever is angry, is liable to judgement.

You will agree with me today that everything in the world is created by God. You will also agree with me that without God there is nothing that exists and nothing would exist in the world. Flesh and blood has no work at all to do. Money has nothing to do. There is nothing in the world including trees which has anything to do. It is the word, which is God who does everything in the world. If you go to a school, what is used there? Is it not the Word at work? In the law court, who delivers the judgement? Is it not the word? If you go to a school, what is used there? Is it not the word? If you go to the market place, who is buying and selling? Is it not the word? When you go to a church to worship, who is preaching and practising the word? Is it not the word? If you go to a juju priest, what produces the preparation of concoction? Is it not the word? If you go to the scientists, who is a scientist? Is it not the word? If you go to all the secret societies, you will see that they operate through the word. All those who make invocations at the cemetery, use the word.

If you go to a juju priest, he will gather his materials together and invite you to pray. He may direct you to say, "God of heaven and of earth, right from today, you do not want persecutions, you want your house to be at peace." The juju priest himself will add more words. What is doing the work here? Is it not prayer is it not the word?

You have erred when you say, that you have never prepared any charm against any person. Have you not been raining curses on somebody? You have erred when you say you have never killed somebody's fowl. What about all you have been uttering? That God should punish somebody or that a person should die or that he should be impoverished. That is just the act you counting. You have killed the man. If you should go to a juju priest and request that he should prepare for you something which will kill your fellow man, by a motor accident or a gun shot, these are evil words emanating from your evil thoughts that act.

It is the Word that does everything in the world. Someone can prepare a certain concoction and spread on the road, the aim of which is to kill Okon Asuquo, or Edet or Bassey if they pass along the road. Note that he only mentioned Okon Asuquo; and maybe two or three other persons.

You are expected to bless and not, to curse. Because you do not realize the power of word and that the word is God, that is why you go on giving your children names by interpretation will mean 'sickness,' 'darkness,' 'hatred,' 'bad omen,' 'dead,' 'I am not happy,' 'poverty,' 'what have I don to them,' 'I will never be happy,' 'bad things,' and so on. These names have their effects on the bearers; the names wage war against the bearers. All names have their meanings. That is why, you may answer three names, some of which are opposite the other. The opposite names which are incompatible will continue to fight themselves. This action might create untold hardship for the owner.

Today you have realized that there is no wise person in the world. There is neither ghost, for mermaid, nor apparition nor witchcraft. The only phenomenon who exists, in the, world is the words. By your words you are justified and by our Words you are condemned. When you say I am a poor man, you must certainly be poor no matter how much you struggle to get money, you will be poor. When you say that your family is poor, until the end of the world, your family will remain poor.

God has at all times existed here in the world has never known him. When you ask somebody not to break your hands because you use it to earn a living, I am telling you that you do not use the hand to earn a living but rather that you use the word of your mouth, which is God. When you warn somebody not to break; your tiny legs because you use them in travelling to places to fend for yourself, it is not the legs which give you food but the words you your mouth.

Whatever you require, speak the word. Heaven and earth will pass away but there is nothing that comes out of your mouth which will not be manifested. Can you now realize evil how you are cursing and blaspheming against the Holy Spirit? Can you realize how you allow evil communication to proceed out of your mouth? Who permits you to speak vile? Have you realized that this teaching is the recondite wisdom of God, which no person possesses since the world was.

If you watch very carefully from January to December every your, you will note that no evil communication proceeds out of my mouth. It is what I mind most in the realization that the word is God. Perfect word means the Holy Spirit. It is the word of peace, of love, of patience, faith, of meekness, of humility, and of temperance. As the word was used in past generations in destroying the world, so will the word be used in the re-creation. This is the age for re-creation. This is the time when everything is re-created. You are now being remolded and given a new life.

I should now have given you this gospel because it is higher and beyond your comprehension. That is why those who are seeking for the knowledge of the truth would startle on hearing this because they would claim that it would have been given to men who have attained certain heights in life and not to dogs. But Our Lord Jesus Christ had already prophesied, the wise have been called, the rich have been called, and prominent men have been called but they have reject the invitation. I came for the learned, the wise, the professors, scientists, and those who claim to be knowledgeable to hand down this wisdom to them to aid them in performing their roles but they refused. But now I have no other alternative than to go to the streets, the roadside, hedges and everywhere, in order to impart these rare words of wisdom to you, the ignorant and uninformed.

Can you now realize that the word is God? The words brings into existence, anything which did not exist. The word also causes what is in existence to terminate. If you have been very sick, and you say, "from now on I will not be sick again," from that time on, you will not be sick again. If you also say, "right from today, my town is good, there is no more evil in it, the inhabitants are all children of God; that will come to pass. It will not even need your going to that village or town, you notice that village or town the Father will systematically change them. When you say, "I love everybody and everybody loves me, I have no problems anywhere, nothing happens to or worries me." When you say these, lie down and sleep, nothing will happen to you. That is why it is said, in many things we do offend, but whoever does not offend with tongue, such a person is righteous, He can control himself, and can also control the whole world.

How much money did Isaac give his son Jacob? You are witnesses that Isaac gave no money to Jacob. He simply called and blessed him, pronouncing certain things upon him. All these words manifested in Jacob. When Esau returned and asked for his own blessings Isaac told him that there was no, other blessing. Isaac used the same word of mouth without realizing himself what the word stood for. The moment you realize that the word is everything, that the word is God, you will take control of yourself and be very cautious of what you say. When you what the word is, as you have done from today, your ears and eyes will opened. You will only say that which is good.

"You have noticed that Our Lord Jesus Christ spoke in parables. For without parable did not speak. He had a different mission altogether. Let our second lesson be read. Listen attentively so that you can hear exactly what is happening in your marital homes, what hap pens between parents and children, in villages, towns, prayer houses and churches, in the market places, offices, and everywhere in world.

Brethren have you heard that? It is not the tongue but the word that is being referred to. The tongue is merely a messenger. Whatever you send it to do, it will certainly do. Through it, infirmities are healed, through it the dead rise, through it, the lame walk and through it many wonderful works are done. When you misuse or mislead the tongue, you are inviting trouble and there is no forgiveness whatever. From today, let us retrace our steps. We must not allow evil communication to proceed out of our mouth. Instead of saying that which is evil, we should become dumb.

God the Word is the ruler of heaven and earth. That is why our Lord Jesus Christ said, I am the A and the Z which means he is good, he is evil. Our Lord Jesus Christ spoke and the dead rose, he spoke and the lame walked, and he also spoke and the leper was cleansed. He saw a fig tree and went near thinking he would get some fruits to eat from it and when he saw ho fruits, he cursed the tree. The tree withered away and died. This shows to you what sort of man Our Lord Jesus Christ was. John the Baptist bore eloquent, testimony about him when he said, "I indeed baptise you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, he shall baptise you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire." Our Lord Jesus Christ spoke and a great multitude followed him. He spoke again and they all dispersed leaving only twelve. You will realize now that he is the beginning and the end; the alpha and the omega. If you joke with him, it means you are joking with fire. He, is the only one who knows that the word is God. Because being the Son of God, he was; God himself. You cannot find God elsewhere except in world.

The whole world continues to say that Brotherhood exists without God even though there is power there. They forget to understand that all that we do emanate from the words. Juju are only-made powerful because of the spoken words. If good words were spoken, the Holy Spirit would have been at work. Or if you go to your father grave, pour some wine and say that certain persons should perish, or you order the devil to rise up and kill the person; you have allowed evil communication to proceed out of your mouth. Have you not blasphemed against the Holy Spirit. All those who go to invoke evil spirits in the cemetery, they do not have sense at all; they do not know themselves. You are an encasement of the word. The word is dwelling in you, the Holy Spirit is dwelling in you, Our Lord Jesus Christ is dwelling in you. All the things you can this of in the world are inside you. What prevents you from saying the word? Say but the word and everything will happen. There is no need setting up a place and calling it a sanctuary. Without you, without the word, can such a place exist?

Our Lord Jesus Christ said, when the Comforter, even the Spirit of Truth, comes, He will lead you unto the accurate wisdom of the truth. Have you not seen the Comforter leading you unto the accurate wisdom of the Truth?

It is said, for he shall, not peak of himself but what he had heard, that shall he speak. All that exists here is good word, word of truth word of life, word of good health, word of peace, word of wealth, word of everlasting life, and everything good about everybody. It is said, the kingdom of this world have become the kingdom of Jehovah God and His Christ? Have you not seen that the kingdoms of this world have become the kingdom of Jehovah God and His Christ? He will reign forever and ever. I always stand here for two to three hours, have you heard me speak vain, vile or evil words? These words do the work and now everybody is well liberated.

The dry meat of dog is very tasteful, but what will one eat to dry the meat? I know that you are all desirous to speak good words, but as you continue to steal, tell lies, begrudge somebody, hate and prepare concoction, where will such words come from when what speak is the manifestation of your actions and the evil intentions of your heart.

That is why it is said, when the tree is good, its fruit will also be good. You can not know anybody through the money he gives to you. You can not determine a man through his bowing down his head for you. You can determine a man through the words he speaks. As we are here, American Negro may come in, a West Indian may come in, somebody from Ivory Coast or any other African Country may come in; unless they begin to speak their different languages, you cannot know from where they come. You can find some people sitting around here, one a Housa man, another an Efik, another a Camerounian, another a Yoruba and yet another, an Ibo man. You will not know from where they come unless they begin to speak. Only when they have spoken can one say to somebody so you are a Housa man, I thought you were an Efik man.

That is why before one is employed, he must be interviewed. It is during the interview that one's qualities are known. Before you speak two or three words, your character, and behaviour is determined. When you have a case with the Police now and are requested to make a statement you tell them that you do reserve your statement. They will gird their loin, knowing that you are not an easy-to-handle person. They will also hold that yow have disorganized them. It is from you statement that they can know the loopholes and able to hook you. That is why when you are speaking to somebody who quiet and will not reply, another person will come and draw your attention telling you to take care and get away from that man. Another person will ask you what he said when you spoke to him, when you mention that he said nothing, he will warn you to be very careful with that type of man.

Let us joke with food and every other thing, but let us not joke with the Almighty God because He is the word. Whatever comes out from the word is capable of destroying and making perfect the whole world. The problems besetting the whole emanates from fighting with God. You are not enjoined not to speak, but rather, you are warned to be mindful of the type of word that comes out from your mouth. Speak no evil words. All good things you wish should come into being, just speak the word and they will manifest accordingly. All the good things you expect in the world, speak good and they will manifest throughout the world, even though they had never been in existence.

Jacob ignorantly made a mistake because he did not realize the efficacy of the word. When he was old he called his twelve sons, the twelve patriarchs. He told them that he, had something to tell them, what will happen to them one by one. When you hear of the twelve Zodiacs, the twelve Calendar months, they symbolize the twelve patriarchs, the twelve sons of Jacob. As Astrologers, Astronomers, and all other Scientists who study the stars, base their probabilities on this. They use all that Jacob had said to his children to design fate for people.

That is why when Job's wife told him to deny God, he replied that he would rather curse the month he was conceived and the day he was born instead of speaking evil against His God.

Ruben was the first son of Jacob. It will interest you to hear what Jacob said about him. Because Reuben was intimate with his fathers wife, Jacob with that anger said unto him, thou shalt not excel; because thou wentest up to thy father's bed; then defiledest thou it." That is the root of poverty in the world. The descendants of Reuben cause all the troubles in the world.

They follow women all about. Any person who is from that tribe can be intimate with his sisters, his mother, his step mother and even his brother's wife. They do not discriminate at all. They go all out for it no matter what you do; and yet they do not have any money at home.

In the same manner, Levi and Simeon were from the same womb. They had committed murder. When Jacob was returning to his home town, the tarried in a certain city. The prince of that city impregnated the sister of Simeon and Levi. When Jacob discovered this the King of that city went to Jacob and told him that he would accept any condition of reconciliation that Jacob would give so that there might be peace. Jacob requested that all the inhabitants of that city should be circumcised, and he accepted. Little did Jacob know at that moment Simeon and Levi were conspiring to do something. When the peace terms were agreed upon, the two brothers "went behind and killed every citizen of the city. That was why when the time came for Jacob to bless them, he said, "O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly, mine honour be not thou united:..." He added that the sword will never depart from their house. This explains the existence of the armies always eager to kill. They are always with the sword, always with the machete. You can eat and drink with somebody but the next moment he will be sharpening his sword to eliminate you.

When you read through Genesis Chapter 49:1-33 you will notice the blessings and woes Jacob bestowed on the twelve tribes, of Israel. If you are a descendant of any of these tribes, whatever was pronounced on that child is what will become of you. It is only Joseph whom he loved that he poured his blessings abundantly. All the blessings became manifested in Joseph.

I want to show you today that it is the word that is used in destroying the world and it is the word which will be used in re-creating it. You who profess to know God, do you know the Word, does somebody who does not know God know not the Word? You profess that you know Our Lord Jesus Christ, do you know - the word? The word is God. The word is Our Lord Jesus Christ. The Word is the Holy Spirit. If you should know what the word is, when you are told to go and sin more, or to go that your problems are over, or to go that you are a child of God, or that you should not speak evil words but should speak good; you would believe, in those words. When you are told not to steal or get exasperated, you would comply; you would not joke with the word.

This is the era of re-creation. The world had already been in ruins. The word was used in creating the world. But former things are passed away. This is the period of time when everybody has to be recreated.

The word of God is going to be used in perfecting the whole of this world. That is why Brotherhood has peculiar ways of praying, of singing, of giving testimonies, of preaching, and doing everything. All things in Brotherhood are done by perfect words meant to re-create. Where you had in the past pronounced a curse; saying woe unto this or that, woe unto father or brother, you have been clothed with the blessedness of God. You had been cleansed, healed of your ailments, you are prosperous, you are a child of God, you have eternal life, and every good thing has been given to you.

Do you now realize how churches have individually spoken vile, defiled, words, and have blasphemed against God? Are you with your heads? I laugh at it all. It is also a very piteous situation. That is why I pray to the Father to forgive them all for they are all God's children. It has come to pass that whosoever speaks a word against the Holy Spirit shall not be forgiven. The churches have spoken evil against God. You are a house of God, you have spoken evil and you have cursed another person. Everybody is a house of God and has erred. This is our problem in the world. From today, let us turn a new leaf and be born anew. Let us speak good words so that good words can bounce back on us.

I do not want people to see ghosts, demons, witches, charms, in their visions. Do not pray to God to eliminate enemies, because there are no enemies. Do not preach confusion. Your problem is that you preach confusion. Till today all of you preach carnal and vain things. When a person has a court case or is sick, do not call him to follow you to Calabar. Only tell that as from that moment he has been discharged and acquitted or that his sickness is over and that will be the end. Do not say again that you are the only one in your family who attends Brotherhood, when you say, you have blasphemed against the Holy Spirit. The whole world is Brotherhood, because they are the children of God. The Father has gathered them unto himself has changed them. He has forgiven every person. This is the time for the glorification of God. We all have to say all what is good. Let Our golden text be read. Listen attentively to what is going to be read.

It is on this premise that the Father has said, this is the Covenant that I will enter into, with the house of Israel after those days. It will not resemble the Covenant that I made with their Father in which I left with them with utter abandon in the wilderness. But in this new Covenant, he says, I will put my laws into their mind and write them in their hearts, and I, will be to them a God and they shall be to me a people. And they shall not teach every man his brother to know God, for all shall know me from the least to the greatest.

For I will be merciful unto their unrighteousness and their sins, and their iniquities I will remember no more. The emphasis is on 'forgiving,' 'being merciful,' and 'not remembering our unrighteousness and sins.' All the sins committed by man from Abraham are through Our Lord Jesus Christ not remembered any more, and that to our unrighteousness He has shown mercy. These words are fulfilled in your midst. He does not remember your sins and iniquities again. He has absolutely forgotten about our sins.

This is a new Covenant into which God has entered with all of you. As in the first world, where there were no troubles, and quarrelling and division and fighting, people obeyed the voice of God. That paradise which man by transgression lost, is now regained. If he did not forgive the unrighteousness of the inhabitants of the world, what would have prompted people to know God? What would have prompted your re-creation and regeneration and how would you have entered this kingdom.

Watch your tongue from now on, you will discover that if you curse somebody by spelling woe on him, any time he visualizes you either in the dream or in a trance, he will claim he has seen you as a wizard or an apparition. This is erroneous. It is the vibration of the woe you pronounced which becomes flesh. Have you not heard the confession of so many people that there is a formidable power in Brotherhood, but - that power which is not without some element of diabology, does not come from God. But I do not seem to see the power in Brotherhood but what happens is that the Father is doing His work.

God is power, He is the word, He is the Christ, He is the Spirit, He is everything to every man. This is the only thing I see in this kingdom and no other thing. Can you realise that the Brotherhood TV programme entitled Brotherhood Pulpit should not left for a handful of people. It should belong to all the inhabitants of the world, the government, the schools, the hospitals, and other institutions. Gospels such as the one we have today should be disseminated to all parts of the world and to all the inhabitants in the four corners of the world. Because if all human beings and angles assimilate. This gospel about ninety-nine percent of the population would have repented and changed.

This is the time for all the inhabitants of the world to worship their creator, whether, you are a man or a woman, a child, an adult or an old man, white or black, and refrain from sin because the time of foolishness had long passed, when we despised at God, but now, we have seen Him face to face and know that He is seasoned Word.

Experience, they say is the best teacher. After God had created man, He advised Adam that he could eat of all the fruits of the trees in the garden, except one and any day he would eat of it, he would die. When you pray, you always ask God to take away death, how can He take away, when He has established death as an institution. It is said this is the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. It is also said two people go to console in a dead man's house, one speaks good words the other evil, man has the tendency to blow, both hot and cold. Out of the same mouth proceeds blessing and cursing, consider yourself.

Reason also, when they had eaten the forbidden fruit, if He had made no statement, there would have been no problem. But when he started cursing the serpent, the woman and the man, trouble set in. And the Lord God said to the serpent, because you have deceived the woman, you are cured above all cattle, and above every beast of the field, and upon your belly will you walk and dust will you eat all the days of your life. And I will put enmity between you and a pregnant woman. Have these curses not affected the serpent and you see it today?

He then turned to the woman and said, I will greatly multiply your sorrow and conception, in sorrow will you bring forth child and you will perpetually remain under the control of the man. What is the position of women today? He then turned to the man and said because you have hearkened unto the voice of a woman, and has eaten the forbidden fruit, cursed is the ground for your sake. In great sorrow will you eat it all the days of your life. Thorns and thistles shall it brings to you and you will eat the herb of the field. You will only eat from the sweat of your face until you return to the ground for out of it were you taken, for dust you are, and unto dust will you return. Have you not realized the unbearable suffering of man?

The foregoing explains why the whole world has suffered death no matter what they do, but now He has abrogated that old institution as He says, there will be no more death, neither sorrow nor lamentation, neither shall there any more pain, for the former things are passed away, behold everything is now made new. When you tell people that there is no more death, they laugh you to scorn that Moses had died, they say this because they do not know this new dispensation. He says I will be merciful unto their unrighteousness and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. He has forgiven our trespasses, He has not remembered any again because we are now in the new world. The only provision is that you should refrain from all act of sin, refrain from evil utterances. In your prayers, songs, sermons, testimonies, your word shou1d be seasoned with salt, and that which is good to the use of edifying that it may minister grace to hearers.

As you carried, the image of the earthy man when you cursed people that it is woe betides them, that they will die, that they will be wretched, that they will be devoured by the leopard, such vain words have disorganised, devoured, consumed and destroyed the world. But now you have to carry the image of the heavenly man, you have to recast your words.

Women are always fond of say to their husband as you do with me, you will do same to all your wives, do not make such utterances again. The men folk are also very fond of this, little did you know that hitherto, you were destroying yourself. That is why the Father has set aside this Calabar Area Choristers' Association (CACA's) Week to release this Gospel to the entire world. It is a New Gospel and as it has already been said, something spectacular will happen during this choristers' Week, and it has happen.

I know you will wear this Gospel as your necklace, you will wear it as an armour of God, as your boot, as your hat and you will realise that the wax has been removed from you ears, scales have dropped down your eyes, the heavy stone has been taken out of your heart. It is only then that you will discover that through your words, you have been injurious to yourselves. It is the mouth of a monkey that kills the monkey.

If you cannot diagnose the nature of your sickness, how will you know the cure for it? Right now you can diagnose the sickness and you also know the treatment. Whosoever makes evil utterances, means he has blasphemed against God, and there is no forgiveness. From now on, do not a curse any person, but only speak what is good, do not blaspheme against God.

Brethren, I do not wish to be tedious unto you. It is said one stroke of the can is sufficient for the wise. Those who have ears let them hear. May God bless His Holy Words. Amen!
