INTRODUCTORY SONGS:

1. IF THE LORD DOES NOT APPROVE, NOT EVEN A STRAND OF HAIR ON ANY OF MY CHILDREN CAN DROP.

2. I THE LORD CANNOT FORSAKE YOU, I CAN NEVER LEAVE YOU COMFORTLESS.

3. WHEN THE LORD HAS DECREED, WHO CAN THEN PREVENT HIS LAW FROM EXECUTION?

4. MY CHILD, DO NOT TROUBLE YOUR HEART ABOUT TOMORROW FOR THE LIFE OF THIS WORLD IS MERE VANITY.

The above songs summarize our gospel. Everything which the Father has planted can never be uprooted. (Matt 15:13). Anything not planted by the Father can easily be uprooted. This was the kingdom which was seen in a dream by Nebuchadnezzar and interpreted by the prophet Daniel. According to Daniel's interpretation, the great image he saw with various metallic components, represented different kingdoms which would finally crumble to give way to this kingdom which God Himself would set up:

Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is the kingdom that was spoken of. So it is our place to dance, rejoice, jump and roll on the ground for joy because this kingdom can never be shaken by anything forever and ever.

If you have never derived anything from Brotherhood of the Cross and Star right now you should regard this sermon as a wonderful gift from the Father. Heaven and earth shall pass away but this sermon shall endure forever. Why should you worry yourself about anything and why should you be disturbed because of tomorrow? Who can turn your hair from black to gray? Who has ever fought against the will of God? Men of old tried but their attempts ended in fiascoes. Nebuchadnezzar tried but he failed. Pharaoh tried but he failed. Did king Solomon, Herod, Ahab, Jezebel, and many other kings and queens and emperors succeed in their attempts to fight the will of God? Who amongst the prophets of old succeeded in thwarting God's will? WHICH HUMAN BEING, ANGEL OR SPIRIT, HAD EVER SUCCEEDED IN FIGHTING AGAINST THE WILL OF GOD?

Prophets upon prophets sent by God were tortured and killed by the world, but what is the situation today? I CHALLENGE THEM TO COME AND KILL THE ONE IN THEIR MIDST. People claim that there is no more spirit, and there exists no more prophets after the era of the Apostles of old. They also ask others not to believe in dreams because it is mere food for slumber. They claim that dreams are a reflection of your thoughts. They instruct others not to believe in visions, and even if it is quite related to their physical condition.

The people of the world equally believe that God has no child, and if a person claims to the son of God he should be regarded as a blasphemer and be subjected to death. They claim that God is only in charge of heaven while the earth belongs to them and they could rule it according to their wishes. They debunk the idea of heaven and resurrection. To them once a man dies, he goes straight to the Hades, and that God only helps those who help themselves. They believe in the power of leaves, bark of trees, and roots to help themselves. In their estimation, such would make one to become a strong man. The people believe in the idea of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. In other words there should be no forgiveness for whatever reason. This is in ignorance of what is written in the scriptures:

And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day. And the idols he shall utterly abolish. and they shall go into the holes of the rocks and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth. In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats; To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth. Isaiah 2:17-21.

The events in the world are mere prelude to this prophecy. The charms and juju which people regard as their gods today shall in due season desert them. All the rulers of the earth and the mighty men shall crumble like a heap of cards. Therefore brethren, all that was written down right from Genesis to Revelation must be fulfilled in this close of age. It is coming like lightening and thunder. You should take a particular note of the scripture that the weak and the debased would be used to disgrace the great and mighty things of the world. I will cause into existence that which was never in existence and that which existed will cease to exist.

This is the period when it is written: Romans 9:25-26

...I will call them my people which were not my people, and her beloved which was not my beloved. And it shall come to pass that in a place where it is said unto them, ye are not my people; there shall they be called children of the living God.

Those considered as nonentities shall become the children of the Most High. Are all these not fulfilled today? What else do you expect God to do in order to convince you? So Brethren, this is the gift you should go home with. Do not think about anything; for there is nothing in existence that can flap its ugly wings anymore, for the Father has taken dominion and supremacy over all things. Once you have got the Holy Father, you have equally got your earthly father, mother, brother, and sisters. With Him, you have got a wife, a child, friends, and one greater than all other things in the world.

He has arranged everything into their proper places and classes. There is nobody at all who can alter anything He has perfectly arranged because He is always there to monitor and guard it. For you to lament of what to eat, drink, wear, is rather too late. Various plans and suggestions on how to make amends and improve situations of things in the world are mere wasting of time because He who has come to put everything according to His divine arrangement is keeping watch. Instead of you to give up your entire life for the joy and glory of God, you keep on thinking of what to do and you also keep planning about tomorrow whereas the Master-planner has planned everything accordingly. Whether you like it or not it is only the will of the God that must be fulfilled.

Take the example from the fall of the former Soviet Union- USSR. In 1917 the communist party banned all forms of religion, most especially, Christianity. But what is the situation today? They are now shouting on top of their voices calling on Christians to come to their rescue. Famine, starvation, war, crises, commotion and violence are the order of the day. They used to refer to themselves as the world power. Did God call them so? What are they today? The people of the world have no regard for the Bible. The presidents, ministers of state, judges, and businessmen are all ignorant of the existence of the Bible. If any of them should buy a copy, they only regard it as a support for their pillows. What they read are books relating to how to destroy the world.

They belong to different secret societies whose main stock in trade is to manufacture weapons of mass destruction. They make guns, spear, lightening, thunder and other deadly weapons. They hold God to mockery and those who worship God, they regard as fools and good for nothing ones. They regard such people as people who are in lack of any serious thing to do in life. Others regard their membership in the church as a means of creating a grand occasion for their burial. They believe that once a person is dead, the church would conduct the burial to pay the last respect for the person. Those who regard themselves as the men of valor and the mighty men do not even see the need to go to the church because they regard themselves as gods. This is a result of being members of secret societies. Christ had advised His flock: Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Luke 12:32.

When the disciples of Christ ate without washing their hands the people accused them of transgressing the tradition of their people. What did Christ say in reply?

Christ further told his disciples that whatever the Father did not plant would be uprooted. How can a blind man lead another blind man? If they attempt, both would fall into a ditch.

Now is the time to uproot all things which the Father did not plant. He has come to uproot them and set them into a furnace of fire. In another situation, the disciples came across a beautiful temple that was well designed. When the disciples praised the aesthetic nature of the stones, He drew their attention to the fact that none of the stones would be left; all would be destroyed and shattered. The temple symbolizes the wisdom, the glory, and the beauty of the world, which will all pass away except the wisdom and reign of Christ.

If the church denominations, governments, all over the world, secret societies and individual persons should read Ezekiel chapter 34 all would have bowed down to God. Everybody should wait and see, what will surely take place in this world in the not too distant future. So my children, do not trouble your mind any further about tomorrow for it is written:

God has fixed a time and a season for everything according to His own will. Therefore, there is time, hour, month, and specific days for everything. That is why we have in one of our Spiritual Choruses:

WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT GOD HAS COME IN THE LIKENESS OF MAN TO RULE OVER HIS ENTIRE CREATION. If he has destined you to work for Him, even if you like to cry, run to the abyss or fly to the moon, He would surely return you back to work for Him as He had predestined. If you search for God throughout your life you cannot find Him, but if He wants you within a twinkle of an eye He fishes you out. So if He does not call you, you cannot follow Him, and if He does not choose you, you cannot fit into His system.

THE ABILITY TO DO GOOD DOES NOT COME FROM MAN BUT FROM GOD. YOUR ABILITY TO RESPOND TO HIS CALL DOES NOT COME FROM MAN, BUT FROM HIM ONLY. THE ABILITY TO REFRAIN FROM SIN COMES FROM HIM AND NOT FROM MAN. So Brethren, do not disturb your mind any further about anything. Do not lament about anything because the Master-Planner is around and He has destined everything according to the time and season. The Father said: "I will not leave you comfortless, I will come to you." John 14:18

You have been further instructed not to take thought for tomorrow for tomorrow will take care of itself. The daily occurrences have all been written down before the foundation of the world was laid. When you start to attribute the predicaments of people to the activities of witches, incubuses, mermaid, and other forces, have you not heard about what is written in the scripture?

Therefore when you claim that witches are attacking you, that you are charmed or that you are being haunted by ghost or mermaid, do you know that such things are not in existence? If the Father cannot forsake a little bird like a sparrow, how much more you who are made in His image?

Your trouble is the lack of belief in His words. Do you not know that He is the captain of the ship, the only arbiter, the beginning and the end? All those who fervently believe in Him know quite well that He is in existence. Something took place in 1938 which went to support this gospel that you should not trouble yourself, for sufficient unto the day is the day's problem.

It was in the year 1938 that the then colonial government started charging for water rate in this part of the country. At the time, people doubted the possibility of paying for ordinary an ordinary and natural commodity like water. The people vehemently opposed this policy. As a result, the government had to sue the defaulters. So the government dispatched its law enforcement agents to all parts of the town. I had already paid for my own rate and collected a receipt. So when they came to the part of the city where I resided, I was able to produce my receipt but within three days, I received a summons to court.

Then prior to the day when the case first came up for hearing in the court, I spent sleepless nights pondering and planning on what to say in defense of myself. So on the fateful day, I decided on what to say, and I took sufficient amount of money along, so that if the case was very inextricable I would use this money to pay any fines imposed on me by the courts.

The first person (respondent) was called by the presiding judge to state his reason for not making his water rate payment. In his statement of defense, he gave the excuse that he did not make payment because he was a student. The judge rejected that plea on the grounds that the fact that he was a student did not prevent him from using water. This man's excuse was exactly what I had planned to give. So, when I heard the verdict of the judge I lost hope of absolving myself of the case against me.

The second person was called to defend himself. In his defense, he told the judge that he was a visitor to the city and he had just arrived. The judge rejected his plea because from the very hour he arrived in the city he had not failed to make use of water in one way or the other, and as such he was supposed to pay the water rate. He was therefore found guilty and convicted.

The third person gave his excuse that he was a servant to somebody. The judge asked him if he was not more than 18 years old. My plan and hope of saying a similar story was shattered as the man who claimed to be another's servant was also convicted.

The fourth person was called upon to defend Himself. He produced his receipt to prove the fact that he had paid, but on looking through the paper, the judge discovered that he had made a late payment. That was going to be my last option but when this person was fined, I completely lost hope of ever coming out without being fined. All the options I considered to use in my self defense were completely rejected by the judge as the other defendants gave the same statements in self defense. I therefore rearranged my thinking and prepared myself to accept a guilty plea, and pay the necessary fine, so I can gain my freedom. I was the last person called to face my charges. Of all the three hundred and ninety eight people called ahead of me, none was absolved. The judge rejected all the various excuses that each and everyone of them gave. The judge took such a tough stance against the defendants because he could discern that everybody's excuse was fabricated lies intended to exonerate themselves.

When my name was finally called, the people agreed among themselves and said, "this one is an Igbo man and he should be dealt with." This further heightened my fears. So the judge read the summons: "You have been charged to this honorable court for water rate default. You have refused to pay your water rate. Do you have anything to say in self defense?"

I put my hand into my pocket and produced the receipt and showed it to the court as evidence of my payment. The judge said I made late payment. And so I reached into my pocket to bring out money to pay as a normal fine. The judge further asked: "Why could you not pay?" In fact, of all the excuses I had planned to say in my defense, I could not remember any of them at all. I could not remember anything I had planned to say in my self defense. Until I left the court house, I could not say a word in my self defense. Immediately the Father appeared, He ordered for my discharge and acquittal. Dear Brethren, if at all I had anything to say in defense of myself, I could not remember a word to say nor did I know what the Almighty Father said to the court in my defense. All that I heard was: "Go." I left in peace.

All the plans I made came to naught, and but for the Father, I would have been fined as others. Therefore, when you talk of what was done by Moses, Elijah, and other prophets of old, in my own case I talk of what is before me now. As from that time till now, I DECIDED TO STOP THINKING OF TOMORROW. I do not bother myself for anything whatsoever. WHATEVER I TELL YOU TO DO YOU SHOULD STICK TO IT ELSE YOU FIND YOURSELF IN TROUBLE. Read the first lesson again.

Dear brethren, have you ever noticed the above text? Do you not know that all your plans are mere counter to what God had planned? IT IS ONLY THE WILL OF GOD THAT HAS TO MANIFEST. So when you claim to be troubled by witches, incubuses, mermaid, and similar things, you are ignorant of the situation. What should happen to you had already been written down by the Father before you were born into this world. Therefore you should not bother yourself for anything. In due season, when the veil is opened, you will see clearly what was written for you. NO PRAYER OR FASTING OR CRYING CAN TAKE AWAY YOUR DESTINY. NO MAN OR ANGEL HAS A HAND IN SUCH SITUATIONS. God is that Lord who has not acted only in the past or will act in the distant future, but he can also act on the spot. He is a God of action. That is why it is said today when you hear his voice, harden not your hearts:

Today is your tomorrow, it is also your yesterday and that which will lead you to the end of your life, for either eternal life or damnation. All what you do today represent your past life, your present life and your future life. For instance, if you steal now it remains as point of reference in your life history. People would always say: "Once, he stole." On the other hand, if you speak the truth today, in future people will always refer to you as a very truthful person, and this will brighten your future. You will be considered as a good person in future.

Therefore, do not think that you will change tomorrow. Instead, use this chance to practice the word of God and be saved. If it is the will of God for rain to fall from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., that is exactly what will happen. If he does not wish to reveal this rainfall nor grant anyone the ability to foresee and foretell it, no one can predict it and no dreamer can dream about it, nor can any weather forecaster forecast it right. So do not trouble yourself any longer whether you live or die, get impoverished, or enriched, freed or imprisoned, because none of those thoughts can save you. IT IS ONLY THE FATHER WHO CAN SAVE YOU AND PROVIDE ANSWERS TO EVERY SITUATION.

Your concern should be that the Father's will should manifest. LEAVE EVERYTHING TO THE FATHER FOR NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT HIS KNOWLEDGE. THANK HIM FOR WHATEVER YOU SEE DAILY BECAUSE EVERYTHING HAS ALREADY BEEN PREDESTINED. When people claim that God has given the power to Satan, where is Satan? THERE IS NOTHING LIKE SATAN. When you claim that God has left the world, where is He gone to? God is the world and the fullness thereof, for God alone exists. DO NOT FEAR ANYBODY AT ALL, DO NOT FEAR ANY SPIRIT OR ANGEL, OR ANYTHING WHATSOEVER. FEAR GOD ALONE. EVEN IF A PERSON COMES TO FRIGHTEN YOU BY TELLING YOU THAT HE WOULD DESTROY YOU, DO NOT LISTEN TO HIM, GO ON REJOICING, BOW DOWN TO THE FATHER ALONE FOR ONLY HIS WILL MUST COME TO MANIFESTATION.

WHAT DO YOU THINK AN ORDINARY BEING CAN DO? NOTHING! Christ had said in a situation in which a young man approached Him with a request that He should divide His father's inheritance with his brothers. In His response, Christ said: Luke 12:14-15):…Man who made me a judge or divider over you?

And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

IT IS ONLY GOD WHO IS IN CHARGE OF LIFE AND DEATH. EVERYTHING IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH ARE UNDER HIS CONTROL. ALL THE ANIMALS, BIRDS OF THE AIR, FISHES, AND HUMAN BEINGS ARE PERFECTLY UNDER HIS WATCHFUL EYES. THE REASON WHY YOU ARE IGNORANT OF THIS SITUATION IS THAT THE WORLD TEACHES YOU THINGS ABOUT ANGELS, CHURCH DENOMINATION AND OTHER THINGS OF THE WORLD. BUT I TEACH YOU ABOUT HEAVEN, THE MOST HIGH GOD, AND HE WHO ETERNALLY REIGNS: THE OMNIPOTENT, OMNISCIENT, AND THE OMNIPRESENT GOD. Read the Second Lesson below.

DROP ANXIETY FROM YOUR HEART:

Do you believe in what is written in the passage above, you who claim that God has abandoned you? Where does God go to? I will continue to open your eyes. GOD IS IN MAN, YOU ARE HIS HUSBANDRY AND HIS CITY. THEREFORE WHERE CAN HE ABANDON HIS CITY TO? SO LONG AS GOD DOES NOT FORSAKE YOU, HE LIVES ETERNALLY TO PROTECT YOU AND PROVIDE ALL YOUR NEEDS. SO ANY DAY THAT A PERSON TELLS YOU THAT GOD HAS ABANDONED YOU, DO NOT BELIEVE HIM. IF THERE IS ANYTHING IN YOUR INNER SELF THAT WOULD INFORM YOU THAT GOD HAS ABANDONED YOU, DO NOT BELIEVE THAT. IF A VISIONER SHOULD TELL YOU THAT GOD HAS DESERTED YOU OR THAT GOD IS NO LONGER WITH YOU, DO NOT ACCEPT SUCH A VISION BECAUSE GOD CAN NEVER FORSAKE YOU.

Do you see the reason why you are warned not to trouble yourself about tomorrow? This because He cares for you always and He would never allow anything to happen to you without His knowledge. He made it abundantly clear when He said:

And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles. But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you. Matthew 10:18-20.

How does a Father speak so assuredly to His children? YOU HAVE BEEN ASSURED OF LIFE AND THE MIND TO REASON, BUT IN THE MIDST OF TEMPTATION YOU BECOME WEAK AND YOU LAMENT. YOU SHOULD REALIZE THAT YOUR ENTIRE BODY BELONGS TO HIM AND YOU SHOULD ALLOW HIM TO USE YOU ACCORDING TO HIS WILL. IN CONCLUSION YOU SHOULD PUT YOUR TRUST IN HIM, YOUR FAITH AND HOPE SHOULD BE IN HIM BECAUSE HE HAS NEVER FORSAKEN YOU, ANYTIME, ANYWHERE. THE FATHER PROTECTS YOU, LOVES YOU, FEEDS YOU AND THINKS ABOUT YOUR WELFARE AT ALL TIMES. IN WHATEVER SITUATION YOU FIND YOURSELF, HE IS WITH YOU; IN RAIN, SUN, GOOD HEALTH, SICKNESS, WEALTH, POVERTY, AND IN ANY CONDITION, HE IS SURELY THERE TO CARE AND TEND FOR YOU.

As He saved Daniel from the den of lions Dan 6:16-23, so has he also saved you, and so He did also to Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego Daniel 3:3-20; so also He did for Peter in the prison Acts 12:7-11. That was also what He did to Christ and to many others too numerous to mention. What has He not done? In the hospital you propose to go, He is already there. In the prison He is there. Everywhere you go to, He is there. While you are asleep or awake, He is with you; for He watches over you at all times and in all places. When you are sorrowful and lamenting, remember that He watches over you, and only His will has to manifest. When you give your hard earned money to someone who claims to protect your life and give you children, do you not think that he has deceived you. NOBODY IS ABLE TO GIVE YOU LIFE, MONEY, CHILDREN, AND GOOD HEALTH, EXCEPT THE FATHER ALONE. Read the Golden Text again.

Do you see what is written? Why then do you continue to trouble your mind about tomorrow? Why then do you fail to believe that the Father thinks about you, and He is with you? IF HE IS WITH YOU WHO CAN WAGE WAR AGAINST YOU?

"If you have the Holy Spirit you will surely win the battle."

He is before and behind you. He is also on your left and right and both sides. He is in the sky and in the soil. He is everywhere. He is both the MASTER PLANNER AND OPERATOR. IF HE DOES NOT INITIATE ANY PROJECT IT CANNOT WORK. Remember the words of assurance that: "two sparrows sold for a penny, and not one of them fail to fall to the ground without the will of the Father." He is in space, in the soil and in the sea. HE IS PERFECTLY IN CONTROL OF EVERY SITUATION. Did you know this?

Have you not been claiming that witches, incubuses, human being and charms are powerful? Right now, you should know that ants, lizards, rats, elephants, man, trees, all of God's creations are under His control. YOU SHOULD ALSO KNOW THAT NOT A SINGLE STRAND OF HAIR FROM YOUR HEAD CAN DROP WITHOUT HIS KNOWLEDGE. WITHOUT HIM THERE IS NO DUSK OR NIGHT. HE IS THE MIRACULOUS LORD.

The government can sign and revoke. Your earthly father can sign and revoke. Your wife can sign and revoke. But whatever the Father signs is irrevocable.

The Patriarchs who first came with the message of God did not really believe in God. If they had fervently believed and taken their time in studying the words of God before passing them on to the world, the situation of things would have been different today. This too had some adverse effects on the inhabitants of the world. For instance if Abraham had carefully received the teachings of God, and consequently risen to the position of a Master-Planner, the world would have been saved. That is why it is said that, "Half-baked education is dangerous." With your primary and secondary education, you are far from becoming a master. BUT IF YOU READ UP TO THE LEVEL WHICH YOU CAN SPEAK WITH AUTHORITY, YOU ARE REGARDED AS A MASTER.

Take example from Christ. He is the only Master because He was fully molded and trained in heaven before He was sent down. The position of Adam and Eve could be compared to a high school drop-out who could not complete her secondary education because of an untimely pregnancy. As a result she is expelled from school. IN THE SAME TOKEN ADAM AND EVE WERE EXPELLED FROM THE GARDEN OF EDEN BECAUSE OF DISOBEDIENCE. THEY DID NOT KNOW THEIR LEFT FROM THEIR RIGHT. BUT WHEN CHRIST CAME, HE CAME AS A MASTER. This is why today, this recondite wisdom is hidden from the world and can never be obtained anywhere else in the world. The inhabitants of the world are perplexed. Several inquiries and researches have been carried out in different countries about this wisdom but to no avail. They do not know whether it is from the Hades or from the world. THE MORE YOU LOOK, THE LESS YOU SEE. It is stated:

If you therefore know the truth you are saved. If the entire inhabitants of the world were to know that there is God, they would not have done certain things in defiance of God's divine order. CHRIST IS THE MOUTHPIECE OF GOD, THE FATHER; AND EVEN THOUGH GOD IS STILL OMNISCIENT, OMNIPOTENT AND OMNIPRESENT, THE WORLD SEEMS TO RECOGNIZE CHRIST MORE THAN THE FATHER WHO SENT CHRIST. People always claim that: "Till Christ returns to the world." Where then is the Father who sent Christ? Even Christ Himself confirmed that He is sent by the Father. THE FATHER IS NOW ON EARTH, HE IS ALSO IN HEAVEN AND EVERYWHERE.

What you are witnessing in this kingdom is just like a film show. In a short while it will engulf the whole world; and everybody will be involved. It is then that the old members would ask, "Is this the Brotherhood that we used to dance and regarded as an ordinary child's play?" Wealth, everlasting life, joy, happiness, and everything good abounds here.

You should know that the names Jehovah, Jesus, John, all start with the letter J. That is an indication that they have a beginning. But the letter "O" has no beginning nor an end. THE INITIALS O.O.O. HAVE NO BEGINNING NOR AN END. The whites continue to search for the source of the power in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star; but they cannot find it. They actually believe that there is power but from where the source emanates, they cannot tell.

So do not continue to believe that witches, ghost, mermaids, angels or men are haunting you. You should always recall the statement that two sparrows are bought with one penny, one cannot fall to the ground without the knowledge of the Father, for there is nothing that can happen without His knowledge. Everything comes from Him. THE ONLY THING FOR YOU TO DO IS TO ALWAYS GIVE THANKS TO HIM BECAUSE NO STORM, DARKNESS, OR RAIN COMES YOUR WAY WITHOUT HIS PERMISSION. HE IS DARKNESS, LIGHT, SUN, MOON, STAR, AND EVERYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF.

May the Lord Bless His Holy Words. Amen.

THANK YOU FATHER.
