THIS is a refresher course — Spiritual refresher for the whole world. Many doubt the existence of God and these mixed feelings arise because you do not believe in Him. If you regard Him as Ghost, He is Ghost to you; if you regard Him as God, He is God to you. You have to keep yourself holy so that he can dwell in you. A tree is known by its fruits. You are known by the words of your mouth. When you say you have seen a ghost you have exposed yourself. When you go to a bethel and you come across a preacher who does not believe in God he will preach about mundane things and see wizards and witches and ghosts and if visioners then look around, they see these things. The people who pray that God should take away sickness, kill those who offend them, etc. do reveal themselves by their prayer that they don’t believe. People are not afraid to come before me to pray that God should kill or destroy people etc. Where did you go to see or learn these things? When a tree is corrupt, the fruits are corrupt. An evil person, a thief, a murderer tell me how he will see what is good. It is the same with visions here. You can compare it with those who go to see necromancers and oracles. Compare what they see there and what they are told. You claim you have seen God but how can you see God when your heart is defiled. You allow evil communications to proceed from your mouth, tell me how you can say that which is good. You have a bottle of gin and when you hear it is time for vision and then you jump up, tell me whether you can see anything other than the gin. You indulge in fornication and adultery, how can you see anything other than people chasing your wife or going after other peoples wives. You are a rogue and stand up to give vision, how can you see anything apart from roguery. You stand up and you only see coffins and mammy-water and then say unless the person brings fowl or N40 he will perish, tell me where you got that from; who gave, it to you. A necromancer, soothsayer will tell you all sorts of strange things and deceive you that unless you do this or that your days are numbered so you prostrate and beg him to help you. That is why necromancers and the like will never be forgiven. Some of you here still believe in wizards, witches and ghosts and that is why you see such in your visions. Ninety-nine per cent of those in this fold still believe in mermaid and ghosts etc. Some say even though we are here and worship God, these powers exist — does it mean there is anything else in existence apart from God? When you talk about hatred, have I ever taught you there is hatred? When you say someone has killed your grandfather, I tell you that no one can kill any person because no one can kill or give life apart from God. When you see God face to face you say you have seen a ghost and that is the problem. When you do not believe in God, tell me how you can serve Him? When you do not surrender yourself how can you serve him. Your words are dirty, your mind is not clean, how can you serve Him. He does not require your money or car only that you should be pure.

Apart from God nothing else exists, there is nothing like apparition. mermaid, ghost etc, only Almighty God. What do you understand by Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Omniscient.

OMNIPRESENT: Present everywhere — in all the spaces and there is no Vacuum; if he has occupied everywhere then where are the other things you see occupying. He is the cloth you wear, stones, trees, air, water etc. etc.

OMNIPOTENT: All powers in Heaven and on earth are His; He alone can make and unmake, do and undo as it pleases Him. No one can challenge Him.

OMNISCIENT: He knows everything in the world: knowledge, wisdom, technique of manufacture etc. Science of everything is His, wisdom and knowledge. Have you ever heard that someone was introduced to Our Lord? Our Lord knew every person.

You profess to be a visioner and yet you tell lies, fornicate and indulge in vices.

If you realise the existence of God you will know that no one can have dominion over man. Why do you not give glory to God instead of to nonexistent things. Do not go around giving alarming and unsettling visions, for if you do, it is because you do not believe in God. Some console themselves with the fact that they have seen something at least — do you know what you have seen? Do you think that giving vision for 3 hours means you are giving true visions? I tell you that vision from on high do not take that long because God cannot indulge in such grandiloquence. Think of Pharaoh and Joseph — how long were their visions or dreams. He who comes from heaven sees and speaks of what comes from heaven but how many people believe Him. The world does not believed in God so they say He is ghost, Beelzebub etc. I preach to you and to the world the truth, but the world says we are Satan and ghost and do you not see they say so their hearts are defiled? You are asked to come and receive these words so that you eyes might be opened and if you had been listening to these words you would have been alright. Whenever you come here I tell you to refrain from fornication and tell you as soon as you refrain you will be alright. Why should a visioner tell lies, fornicate, quarrel or take medicine. Have I ever told you to go to hospital to receive treatment? Remember the tree and leaves in Revelation CHAPTER 22:2?

What is the significance of these leaves — are they native doctors or medical doctors? The words from the Throne are the leaves I use in healing you. Have you seen the leaves, have you seen the words? But, whatever is your problem or however terrible your sins are, the moment you come in here and listen to these words you are made whole. It is not only when you come to 34 Ambo, I am making this declaration from high heavens, 34 Ambo is a power house and these words are generated throughout the world and as soon as you receive them no matter where you are, you are well. If you read any Brotherhood of the Cross and Star PAMPHLET your eyes are bound to be opened. These words are used to heal the nations because these words are eternal life. The five loaves of Bread and Fishes were nothing but the word of God. Some thought Christ was a magician because he used five loaves to feed 2,000 and so they want to learn the art but, no — He is talking about the word of God. But if you do not believe in God how can you know. You say I refuse to teach you the tricks but have I not taught you everything? You still drink, snuff, fornicate, smoke and still eat fish or meat and tell lies; I have told you there is no hatred. You claim that someone killed your father with thunder, do you want to tell me that the words from heaven are lesser than the ones on earth?

As the heavens are higher than the earth, so also is God higher than everything, so the whole world is invited to this refresher course so that their eyes might be opened and the wax in their ear removed. Some do not gather with us so they are against us. Some resist the will of God and who can resist the will of God. Your forefathers resisted and disobeyed and perished. You must surrender and serve God from this night. If you want to go home go; if you want to sleep, go ahead and sleep but this gospel is being declared from high heaven to all planes.

When the tree is good the fruits are also good but when the tree is corrupt the fruits are also corrupt. Once the fruits are corrupt the words you preach will be corrupt and you see wizards and mermaids and death etc. Why do you profess to preach the words of God and yet you do not believe in Him.

As you have borne the image of the earthly man so must you bear the image of the heavenly. You must hear the words of God because it is what cleanses you. If you are a visioner and you are not holy, nothing can save you. Do you not realise that necromancers are visioners yet they direct you to the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star? Why do you return to do what they do.

Many people in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star walk about majestically and freely because they believe in God and know that nothing can harm them. Come here and receive these words and you are free. From this night do not mention any of these names because they do not exist. The English say a little knowledge is dangerous. In God we live and eat and sleep and there is nothing we do without Him. He is the air we breathe, the water, the sun, the moon, and stars, he is all in all to all men. Everything is good but you should not allow anything to rule you. The teachings of your grandfather will always lead you astray because they will always tell you that so and so killed your dad and planned this and that. I tell you that they are all lies because no human being can give your life or take your life. If you profess to follow God and doubt Him, that doubt will make you not follow Him properly. If you believe food is poisoned then do not eat it or you will die if you eat it.

If you think that if you shake someone you will die — then do not shake him or you will die. It is not the man who kills you but your doubt.

I have proved the world wrong. No man kills himself or another person. It is your sins and doubts that kill you. If there were to be salvation from secret societies, when you enrolled into many of them, did you have peace from them? Brethren believe that everything depends on your belief in God because once you believe in God, all is well. Do not believe in any tree or iron or anything — believe wholly in God. If someone says he will kill you or harm you, ignore him because he can do nothing. People only say and call themselves names to scare you, they are not what they claim. All men and angels must listen to the words of God and believe in Him. If you have rings and talismans or charms and concoctions, throw them away because they can’t help you. As many as receive these words of God are saved.

Compared this with the first lesson. This provides an answer. The first lesson talks about tree and fruits. The Second Lesson says to the pure all things are pure and to the defiled all things are defiled. God has said do not to steal and do not tell lies but you persist — how can you see good things. You are warned not to fornicate and commit adultery but you still do, how then can you do and see goodness. When I call you to come and give your dreams and visions and you come here and start I know you and your dreams and visions. Some come and pretend here and say things heavenly but only to go out and give their own earthly visions.

Right now governments and churches consult oracles and they do not know that it is not pleasing to God. But any person who has a pure heart and surrenders to God has no problems, and he does not utter evil words, neither does he see or think evil. But the liar and thief and unbelievers will see mermaid, thieves and ghosts and coffins and poison etc. etc.

Apart from 26 and 34, other bethels preach and give visions about human beings. But a man of God believes and preaches the words of God because therein lies salvation. How can you preach the words of God if you do not believe in Him? You cannot listen to or hear the words of God or see Him if your heart is defiled.

Blessed are the pure in heart because they shall see Him, — You cannot see him if your heart is not pure. Those who go to hospital do not believe in God and have no faith. Those who attribute their sickness to human beings and the death of their folks to man are rebels and do not believe in God. No matter what God does to unbelievers they cannot appreciate it; even if he stands before them, they cannot see him. The reason is because they are defiled and their hearts are not pure. Who tells you God is far from you? He is in your ears, mouth, bed, food, he kneels with you. He is nearer you than the tongue is to the teeth. He is everywhere. Call on him with a pure heart and he will answer you. Whosoever believes in God is like Mount Zion and cannot be shaken. A Christian cannot initiate into any secret societies or go to hospitals. Christ said "Let your hearts not be troubled, believe in God and in me."

You say man does not love you. Man cannot love you because man cannot do anything good. Let the words of God dwell in you richly because only the words of God can cleanse you. The wisdom of the world, money, etc, can do nothing to you; What did wisdom profit Solomon. Believe in God and put on his words as a garment and all is well with you. The word of God is health, wealth, power, peace and everything.

Ordained and Spirited have you heard?

Have you followed every person with peace? Do you have a pure heart? If you do not have a pure heart, you cannot follow peace with others, you cannot hear or see God. Do not be angry, do not quarrel and do not indulge in vices. If you refrain from all these, you will see God face to face, you will not see anything bad and all the words that come out of your mouth will be the words of God; you will no more condemn; you will not see anything bad and you will not indulge in evil communication. All those who listen to evil talks about the others are themselves not good; that is why the bible calls them hypocrites. Anybody who gives vision about mermaid etc., is millions of miles from God; any person who sees and preaches hatred does not know God.

Christ is the greatest physician. He diagnoses and cures and he is the fountain of all wisdom. Your Schools cannot give you wisdom, why then do you not go to Him who is the fountain of wisdom. He is the Prince of peace. Drinking or smoking cannot give you peace, party and dances cannot give you peace, why do you not go to the Prince: If you pray for a husband or a wife or a child, I say you are a child of perdition. Take Our Lord Jesus Christ as your wife, husband, child, for he is all and all to all.

Follow peace with all men with a holy heart or you cannot see God. Do you not see that when you fight or quarrel and go to sleep you see only things about your quarrel and fight and you have no peace? When you do not have a pure heart and you do not follow after peace with all men you will see nothing good in your dreams and visions. From now on let the whole world follow peace with all men and they will see goodness.

Those who have ears to hear, let them hear and may God bless His Holy Words now and forever. Amen.

Brethren that is our revelation this morning. This week is a great week for the children of God all over the world. You will soon see the downfall of man. Our Lord said it is easier for a Camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God.

But the pitiful thing is that everyone is struggling for wealth, both young and old, man and woman. Then, how can you enter the Kingdom? That is why your stay in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star for years means nothing. Whoever lusts for the material things of the earth cannot enter into the Kingdom. Wealth is the order of the day. Do not be deceived that your mother or someone hinders you — it is your wealth. It is said blessed are the poor for they shall inherit the Kingdom — which side are you on? Each day you pray for God to give you money and material things, then how can you enter the Kingdom? These people are only reading the back of the Bible. The rich think they are the ones loved by God. Whoever is poor in the world is regarded with pity and people ask what is wrong. People are wealthy because they do not give to the poor, they do not use their money to serve God, they are not generous. The other is poor because he gives to the needy. People cannot surrender to God because they are not prepared to give to the poor. That is why we charge for God’s work; that is why we deceive people and oppress the poor. The question is how can you be perfect if you do not surrender all you have. We have to imitate Our Lord Jesus Christ. The children of God must surrender their wealth to help the poor. They should not boast of wealth but of their work; they should glory in using their wealth to help the poor and feed the sheep of God. Peter forsook everything and followed Christ. Andrew did the same. Never did he go back to fish or farm to enrich himself. James and John forsook everything too. Show me someone who has not surrendered his wealth and has entered the Kingdom or who has been able to do the work of God. You are told not to quarrel and not to tell lies, tell me how a rich man who wants more wealth will give away something. Have you not realised how difficult it is for wealthy people to enter? Tell me the wisdom in their wealth.

This is Visioners’ week, where are they. Are the empty pews visioners? This is so because of the thing they are holding in their hand. The hope of the whole world is on the Father. If the Father had farms or any trade, he would have been on the Job; Then tell me what time he would have had to teach you. I once carried a tin of oil and fetched water and I know what it involves. Stop praying for the ability to do the work of God — forsake your wealth and serve God. The work of God is service, mercy, patience and full time service towards mankind; to be a slave to serve others. Service to others should be your food and water There is no holiday, no leave. Our Lord has said you must do the work of your Father when it is day for night comes when you cannot do the work.

Do not deceive yourself, you either choose the wealth of the world or be poor and serve God. Those who are prepared to serve God are the poor ones because they have surrendered all to God. They do not seek anything else. If you give them a car they use it to serve the poor. The entrance exam to gain access to this Kingdom is to forsake wealth and help the poor. The quest for wealth is not service to God. Can you now see why you have problems? Unless you forsake all things you cannot be a disciple of Christ because the disciples forsook all things before they could do the work of God. Remember how Our Lord questioned Peter thrice, — "Do you love me more than everything else?" and Peter said: ‘Yes,’ Our Lord said — "Feed my sheep." If Peter had replied ‘NO’ He could not have given him any authority to look after the sheep. That is why when the wealthy are besieged by danger they abandon their sheep because they are interested in their wealth. See how many sheep are crying and waiting but there is no one to help them or look after them. Brotherhood is doing the work of God and you have come so that Brotherhood will do something for you. Brotherhood is to help the poor and sick ones but if you do not surrender your wealth you cannot do it.

Do you not know why this house is not full? Because brethren have not forsaken what they have. If you fast or pray, but you do not forsake what you have, you cannot be His disciple. What will you gain if you have the world and lose your soul. A wealthy man in the world is regarded as an important person but someone who has surrendered his wealth is regarded as a lunatic, a madman and a miserable idiot. This gospel is preached so that the visioners, spirited, students, ordained will see their down fall and change. Why they cannot hear the words of God or do His work is because they have not yet forsaken their wealth. You want to enter University and yet you have not passed the entrance exam. Have you seen a man enter a varsity to study and take along his wife and children and all his property? No, he goes alone forsaking every other thing and starts his study humbly. It is said store up your treasures in heaven for things of this world are a loss unto you and wherever your treasure is there will your heart be. You cannot be struggling for money and at the same time be serving God. You cannot serve two masters — you must love one and hate the other. Anybody who forsakes everything to serve God has no problems. So many of us here, our minds are in different places, the contracts, the farms, etc. what of the sheep? If you go to any bethel you will not see any person because they are all involved in their businesses. If you go to their houses you will not find them. You are all part time workers because you spend most of your time for your own service. Tell me whether there is any second of the day when people do not need help and prayers. In almost every situation you find people, the work of God can start e.g. people quarrelling, sick or hungry. Give them the word of God.

Remember the wealthy man who packed full his barn and said he would drink and be merry because he was wealthy. Our Lord said "You foolish man, this night is thy soul required." Now someone else enjoyed the fruits of his labour. Many of us are rich but we do not want to use what we have to help the poor and needy. Even your family will try to hinder you because they believe that if you give to the needy you will become poor.

Do not be offended, this gospel is not meant for the whole world but for those it is intended. Wealth in itself is not bad neither is poverty. Whoever is ready to serve God, if you give him 20,000 now, he will not use it but will distribute it to the poor and whatever you do to the poor you do unto the Father. You remember our brother Paul who was a Lawyer. He knew all laws to the fullest but right from the day he was called he surrendered all he had to the service of God and up till today he has nothing to do with the world. But some make excuses that they want to go and bury their father or do this or that. Have you heard that such people followed God? All those who claim to be serving God but are only serving themselves. Your wealth will afford you nothing, but faith will get you into the Kingdom. Our Lord should not have talked of the rich and the Camel or forsaking everything or the King who prepared a feast and invited people and they started making excuses. Is it not what is happening now?

Who is prepared to surrender himself completely to the service of God? How can you when your mind is in your business or farm or contract. You will then discover that it is the things of the world that separate us from God. God give me contract, do you serve God with contract? God give farm, do you preach the word of God with your farm? You can only serve him if you surrender these things. You cannot serve two masters. If you have two masters and they are hungry, which one will you attend to first? If you choose one, the other is offended because he is hungry and waiting. You then see you are not a good servant to them both.

It is not your carnal parents or Bishop or Pope or Pastor that will reward you. It is what you sow that you will reap. If you choose to serve the world, then your partnership is with the world and God has no business with you. If you choose to serve God, then forsake the world and follow him. If your conscience will blame you for choosing to serve God, know that God is greater than your conscience.

God has said do not tell lies or cheat, etc. and you still do these things, how can you say you are serving God when you have not forsaken any of these things? Many of you do not realise that for you to be uplifted here and have peace here is to reap what you sow. Our Lord says He who does not forsake his own mother and father and follow me cannot be my discipline. Also anyone who does not carry his cross and follow me cannot be my discipline. All the visioners and spirited and children of God should think about this because I think that if we should choose to follow him we will profit immensely.

You are witnesses that Paul had hernia and at that time there were doctors and scientists, etc. but he did not go to them because he counted them as a loss. If he did, do you think he would have lived up to today? That is why also when he was flogged with 39 stripes, he counted that as a loss so that he might gain Christ. There is nothing as beautiful and glorious as to be with God. The only thing you have to do is to go sell all you have and give to the poor and then come back and follow him. This is the problem of the other denominations. You want to come in here into Brotherhood of the Cross and Star with your glory. — This does not obtain here in Brotherhood. Brotherhood does not respect position or persons. If you sow according to the flesh you will reap corruption in flesh but if you sow according to the spirit you will reap eternal life. Service to God is not something you boast of but that of surrendering all you have to help the poor. Not wanting reward after you give vision or after you pray for a person and he recovers. If you demand reward then you have abused the Holy Spirit.

Remember Elisha and Namaan. Namaan after his cure (after bathing 7 times) took all his wealth to Elisha but Elisha refused But if it is you, you would have accepted everything. Elisha’s servant went back to Namaan and lied that Elisha wanted those things and Namaan obliged. When the servant came and told Elisha, the servant became Leprous. Then why do you follow the footsteps of this servant. He who wants to be just, let him be just; he who want to suffer let him go and suffer by seeking after wealth.

That is really the Kingdom of God.

That is why Peter asked, what will we who have forsaken everything to follow you profit. When everything shall be made new and the Father has taken his glory, you will be sit with me to judge the twelve tribes of Israel — was the reply. Those seeking the rewards of the world have no share in the Kingdom. If you want a share in it, go and sell all what you have and come back and follow him. You sell everything to have money. You sell visions, Holy oil, the Fathers’ Pictures, and 000 badges just to have money.

Those who sell all these claim themselves to be wise. Some collect tithe and put to their use and think they are intelligent. I know you all go around collecting money because you say you want the reward you can see. But you are told that if you want to be perfect go and sell all you have and give to the poor and come back and follow me. When people hear you are poor they laugh but that is not the poverty meant. The poverty is that you gave what you had to enter the Kingdom. Inside the Kingdom you are repaid. That is why anything you want to do to the children of God they surrender everything to you because things of the world are nothing to them. Our Lord Jesus Christ said his Kingdom is not of this world. If Brotherhood of the Cross and Star was of the world when you were blackmailed and cheated and punished you would have taken action but you did not because things of the world mean nothing to you. It is not only preaching of the word that is important, you have to give to the poor. Paul gave to the poor, needy, widow and orphans and handicapped. You do not have to build air-conditioned houses and sit in them. Nothing belongs to you, everything belongs to God so you must surrender everything to his service by giving to the poor. If you were a King, surrender your Kingship; if you were rich surrender your riches and if you were the Son of Man surrender your title as Son of Man.

Have you heard? All those who have forsaken all they have will inherit the Kingdom. All those who follow Our Lord, the Kingdom of God is theirs.

I am revealing these things so you can know the cause of your downfall. If you do not sell all you have, your knowledge, beauty, garment and property and give to the poor you cannot have a share in the Kingdom of God. But if you do, you will be given the right to sit on the twelve thrones to judge the twelve tribes of Israel. It is said blessed are the poor for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. For 29 years I have not exceeded 26 Mbukpa. I have been here for your sakes, for this Kingdom. The reason is that this is my farm, my work, my Kingdom. But you are a dog, after vomiting you go and lick your vomit again; a swine who after being washed and cleaned goes back and falls into the mire. You said you have forsaken things of the world and yet you come here in luxurious cars, etc. You call me a Leader have you seen me with a watch or sandals or cars? The Leader is here to lead you in the right path — who in world is ready to imitate me. You come here and say you have come to serve God and you bring in your radios to produce sounds; have you seen me associated with these things? If you want this Kingdom, forsake the kingdom of the world, even your own parents and relations, and share your belongings and riches with the brethren here for this is the Kingdom.

I do not intend to belabour you for it is said that one stroke of the cane is sufficient for the wise child. He that hath ears let him hear and may God bless His Holy Words now and forever. Amen.

[Return to Top]

When you look at the three texts you will find that money, child and ever life are not included. Do what you may if you cannot control your tongue you are useless. Whatever your pew in the fold, if you cannot control your tongue, whatever position you occupy is of no use. Sometimes you ask for power to pray and heal the sick, if you can not control your tongue, how then can you use the power. If you can give vision or make the dead rise and you have no love — it profits you nothing. A great many of you grumble that God has not given you the gift of vision or that you dream and do not remember or that you cannot prophecy, have you heard the gospel? Visioners who use their visions to make money, seduce women and make people build houses for them, have you heard this gospel tonight? That no matter how accurate your vision and wonderful your healing if you have no love it profits you nothing. All those sitting here are looking for the gift of vision. A great many people shy away from going on ministry because they cannot give vision. This is because more recognition is given to visioners and many people rely on them. In fact so many rely on them in such a way that these visioners can do anything to a man. You see all sorts of people begging visioners not to be angry so that nothing will go wrong. But I ask, if such a visioner has no love where is he. Vision cannot save you, prophecy and healing cannot save you — only the words of God can save you.

What do you have that you have not received? Why then do you boast? There are visioners who used to stand up and give vision for two hours, but today they cannot remember a dream. This is an eye opener that we should not boast because visions cannot save you but only love and faith can save you. Vision and prophecy and healing are signs, only love is the real thing. If you have been given the gift of vision you have to be patient, merciful, humble, have self control and be disciplined. Same as if you have the gift of healing — most of all you must possess love. If charm removers, Visioners, charm diggers, dreamers, etc were to know that their gifts are only signs, they would humble themselves before God. A lot of these visioners open their own bethels and have so many members. Visioners do not want the words of God neither do they practice them. A visioner can stay in his station for 10 years without going to Calabar. What are they going to Calabar for when they are getting all they want, and people are rolling on the ground for them. People leave Calabar and travel to the bush or seas just to visit a visioner. Some visioners are blind because if they were not, they will not use the vision to enrich themselves. This refresher course is for all Spirited Children so that if you should perish your blood will be on you.

Some are good before they are made visioners, but as soon as they are given the gift their sins multiply. Go to their houses and you will see people languishing and waiting for these visioners whereas there is not one single word preached to them. The visioners are not worried because whatever they want, their followers or disciples are ready to provide their needs as long as they see visions for them. Some give visions that encourage adultery or visions that cause division in families. Some tell sisters that their brothers cannot impregnate them but that he the visioner will do it, and the sister packs out of the matrimonial home to live with the visioner. Some visioners go to bethels and stand up for hours giving visions to everyone. The people shout that he is God Almighty, that 000 has come himself so you go and invite people to come and receive visions. When he finishes with the visions and carries away your money and wife and property you start carrying your hands on your head and I tell you, you looked for him. You wanted vision. Most of you brethren prefer to listen to visions rather than the words of God. Some even regard them as their doctors whom they consult regularly.

All of you have been baptised and have put on Christ and Christ is all and in all. But no matter what, if a small child stands up and gives vision here all of you, no matter your rank, will fall before him. Right now there is a warfare between those who can see and those who cannot. Those who cannot see believe they are not loved by God. Even if they have everything else they are still worried because they cannot see and it is true because the ones who can see can tell them anything and deceive them because they cannot see. Some even give money to visioners to be able to get the gift. The warning is, be satisfied with your position.

Vision, preaching as such cannot save you. Only love can profit you. In the same token not matter how many degrees you have and how many professorships you have, if you have no love you have no share in the Kingdom of God. But if you are an illiterate and you have love, you have the Kingdom of God.

Do not look or ask for vision or children or this or that but ask that you can practice love -

How many visioners have love? Visioners are like policemen and lawyers if you go to their houses they want to know what you have for them but they will never give you anything. If you ask for water they will say wait, I have vision for you. They will demand to know your house or for you to come to their house. It is because of what these visioners make financially that people demand the gift of vision from God. If you go to a station on ministry and you do not give vision you will be hated and they will wonder why you have come to them. They will not even give you food unless you know somebody there or there is a good Samaritan. But have you heard the lesson? If you can move mountains and see vision till eternity, if you do not have love you are nothing. You boast that you said something or gave visions and they came to pass, can you boast that you have LOVE? If we were to apply as much energy in looking for love as we do to looking for vision or healing, we would have an iota of love by now. You depend so much on visioners that even as this gospel is going on if someone tells you, you have a vision you will abandon the gospel and go outside for the vision. Do you not know that once you are baptized you are saved? Do you not know the Father is always with you? Do not steal or lie, or fornicate or quarrel or smoke or drink. Do not take medicine but practice love and all is well with you. A visioner who has love will not charge money or be intimate with another’s brother or sister. If a visioner has love he will not employ some one older than his parents to serve him. If a visioner has love he will not deceive people or take advantage of people. Heal the sick, raise the dead, make the lame walk, the blind to see, etc., etc., freely you receive freely you should give. Visioners have you heard that? Some people made themselves visioners and charm diggers so that they can make money. They think they are disgracing Our Lord Jesus Christ whereas they are disgracing themselves.

Vision is now a necessity which everyone craves for financial purposes. If you go to a station and you are not received because you are not a visioner then your reward is in Heaven. A good visioner does not take money. Any visioner who does not charge money and has love and regards others a as himself, blessed are such visioners. Some visioners even threaten others. They claim they will fast and invoke angels on you and you shiver and go and load money and give them. Some say for doing this or that they will call on the name of God and do this or that to you. Many people outside Brotherhood believe that visions and healing are free but if you see what goes on in healing homes and bethels you will weep. How then can such people enter the Kingdom of Heaven? Someone goes to necromancers or hospital and he is charged money. He comes to a church and is also charged money, then what is the difference between a necromancer and the church? Do not introduce bribe or pomposity into the work of God but humble yourself and surrender to him.

If you can do everything and cannot bridle your tongue you are not practising religion. Someone chats with you and you carry the storey to others, then what kind of priest are you.

If you are a visioner and you allow evil communications come out of you — what kind of visioner are you. Or you see mermaids and lizards and witches, why can you not see Jehovah God and His Christ. A visioner tells you that Papa is angry with you, how can I be angry with you? What are we struggling for? I am not angry physically how can I be angry spiritually. They tell you, you are poor because I have locked your wealth as you do not pay tithe, I ask you what do I do with your money. With the tongue you can scatter and wrought havoc. If you cannot bridle your tongue what kind of man of God are you? When you say someone’s father wants to kill him, what kind of vision is that? Know what you say, control your tongue. If you cannot bridle your tongue your religion is vain and your vision is vain. Whatever you are doing be sure to know what you are doing. Speak only the words that will minister grace unto the hearers.

He that hath an ear let him hear, may God Bless His Holy Words now and forever. Amen.

If a native doctor or necromancer or members of carnal churches cannot remember dreams or bear malice, one can understand because they have not been baptised and have not known the truth. You who have been baptised and you know the truth why do you bear malice. You see two brethren in the same bethel and they do not talk to one another and stand up to quarrel and fight. Children of Brotherhood, children of God — you are the glory of God — change ,change please!

In homes husband and wife stay for years without talking to each other. Some indulge in disgracing others. They go behind and assassinate a person’s character and later go to him to smile and chat. The world is engulfed in wickedness. All these people are in the hands of the wicked one and in Hell.

What will cause you to be angry or to begrudge one another in this Kingdom? The first step to God has been published for you to follow but you do not. Do you not know that evil communication corrupts good manners? As soon as you begrudge one person your heart is heavy and sinful and your eyes are covered and mind is poisoned. (The story of the wheat and tares). If early in the morning you are angry with your child because it annoyed you, throughout that day your eye and mind will be blurred and you will not do anything good. In the same token if someone offends you and you bear malice you also upset yourself and God. Why do you bear grudge when you yourself offend others? The easiest way to refrain from sin is do not impute sin and do not bear malice against any body so that when the time is full the Judge will judge. If you count sin against any person and bear grudge, you as well as the person will perish, whereas if your mind is clear when the Judge judges only the other party will perish.

So brethren empty your hearts of all malice so that you may gain your Salvation. It is this gospel that will bring salvation to the world. The world is bearing loads in their minds because of the grudge they bear against people they are told killed their mother or father or village that has been warring against theirs or people they are told are responsible for their lack of progress in the office or in life. But if your mind is free you are healthy and at peace and you can walk about freely without fear of bumping into people you begrudge. Brethren do you now see that this is why death and poverty and wretchedness and sickness and war have plagued the world —both white and black?

What do you think has brought conflict between the white and black? It is that criticism — mutual criticism based on the past and that is why they can never like themselves. There is no white or black here or abroad who has a pure heart. That is why I say you should purge your minds and go and make peace and reconcile with your enemies and all will be well. Paul advised us not to look behind but look ahead so that the Blood of Our Lord may not have been in vain. The family you begrudge tell me how you can go to them to preach or if someone wants to take you there tell me how you can summon courage to go and when you get there tell me how they will listen to you. Our Lord Jesus Christ advised his disciples not to go to the Gentiles and Samaritans but to the lost house of Israel.

This is because the Jews and Samaritans never saw eye to eye — the Jew would never draw water for the Samaritan to drink. You can never see any good in your enemy, you cannot think good about him, you cannot dream good dreams about him; — all you think and wish is his death and downfall.

You can never hear any thing good about him.

Forget your rights and position: forget your seniority and go and make peace with your adversaries. Six days belong to the thief and one day to the master. This is your week and you MUST GO and make peace with all your adversaries. All of you in this Kingdom must go and make peace even if those in the world do not want to.

WHO has spoken these words? It is the creator of heaven and earth. It is the Father. Whoever wants to live should go and practice these words. Any person you have offended when you did not know the truth, now that you know the truth go and quickly make peace. Our Lord says Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called children of God. Today is the day of peace when you should hurry to make peace because the time is at hand. The most hideous crime is for someone, to seduce your wife or murder your relation or defraud you of money but go and make peace so that you will experience peace. If you want to know peace that you have never known, go and reconcile with your adversaries. Do not pray for peace, go and make peace. Forget and forgive others completely. Forget and forgive their evil plans and machinations and deeds. Before at Eton Street I never would place my hand on your head unless you go and make peace or if you belonged to secret societies or had concoctions you had to go and renounce them.

That is the first thing you should preach to anyone who wants to come into Brotherhood. Ask him to go and make peace before anything else. Brethren we will go back to that order. I will ask you if you have begrudged any person. If you have, you have to go back and reconcile before you come back. You should confess your sins completely and reconcile with your adversaries before you come to see the Leader — if not do not come. You have sued people to court and done all sorts of things — what use is your coming to see the Leader.

Do you not know that if you take someone to court you have annoyed God? Do you know that if you assassinate someone’s character and disgrace him that you have wronged and disgraced God? You say you are baptised but you do not talk with your fellow ordained or chorister or student or elder or spirited what kind of Brotherhood are you.

If you saw what happened at Eton Street — it was the real thing — now I do not know what we are doing. At Eton Street people really come for prayers and prayed. People came and went before altar and confessed their sins and as soon as the Leader placed his hands on their head and prayed all their problems vanished at once.

The gospel of today is about personalities. If you have begrudged any personality go and reconcile. If you cannot practice any other gospel, the whole world should practice this gospel. It is this gospel that is responsible for darkness in the world. Once you begrudge or hate any person, the whole world is thrown into darkness. He who hates walks in darkness.

I gave you six months to make peace, use this refresher course to recapitulate that warning and go back and make peace and reconcile with your adversaries whether they are your juniors or younger than you. Do not be ashamed or shy. Do you know that anytime you hate your heart turns black and anything you touch is black? That is why Our Lord gave the advice in the FIRST LESSON. Can you believe that going to make peace is greater than the sacrifice?

If you do not reconcile with your adversaries, your sacrifice and prayers are useless. It is the same thing that was told Sodom and Gomorrah "Your sacrifices and burnt offerings are not pleasing unto me. When you pray I turn my back to you — Issiah 1:10—23." Do you realise that obedience is better than sacrifice?

Why are your hearts hardened? Last year I warned you. Why are you people hard hearted, why do you not reconcile; there is no smoke without fire. If you had obeyed and made peace this gospel would not have been preached again. You people are always backbiting each other, bearing malice against one another, slandering etc., etc.

THAT is the way, that is the life, that is the truth. You complain you cannot do this, that your business is not progressing and things are not well with you, how can you, when your heart is black, when you are holding to ransom someone Our Lord Jesus Christ died for. If someone comes to apologize to you — no matter what he had done to you — you must forgive him. Why this place is called school of practical Christianity is because when you come you look up to the Leader and emulate him. I have never imputed sins on anyone and I have never been angry with anyone because Our Lord has said: ‘It is finished.’ Since 14/2/42 the Father has challenged anyone to annoy him. Do you think it is an ordinary statement?

Since Our Lord shed his blood on the TREE, all sins are forgiven and so you cannot and should not impute sins on others because if you do it means you want to crucify Jesus Christ a second time. So when a visioner says the Father is angry how can I be angry when Our Lord has said: ‘It is finished.’

Teachers have various techniques to make their pupils not go lawless. You can use fear and smiles as the case may be. You have to read their minds and use the technique most adequate in the circumstance. You let them even air their views so that you find out what is on their mind - When you see they find it hard to assimilate your lessons you introduce another method and open their minds and then bring back your lesson. Unless you have tried teaching people you cannot succeed very well in any profession. In like manner a trader is wiser than a teacher. Teacher of this world use psychology to teach their pupils. If they can do this what when do you think the Supernatural teacher will do. My main assignment is to change you and transform you from bad to good. Who in the world can change another whither have you seen much a person. You can be professor or apostle or visioner but you can never be a Supernatural Teacher. A teacher who does not flog or suspend but loves — it means what you are teaching them is what you do. It is not opening your mouth and saying do not do this or that when you go back and do same. That is why none of you is a teacher or preacher because you do not practice what you teach and preach. To be a good teacher or preacher you must do as you say for others to see and imitate.

Peter asked Christ how many times he should forgive and Our Lord said 70 x 7 times a day. This implication is that as many times as a person offends you, you must forgive him. You should not be too hot or too cold. When a government is too strict it will fall and if it is too weak it will fall too. But the Supernatural Teacher knows how to manipulate everything.

HAVE you heard? Show me the wisdom in bearing grudge. You say even if Jesus comes again you will not relent — show me the wisdom. Our Lord has said if you do not forgive your brother God will not forgive you. Those who continue to begrudge others do they have any God in them? Have they not heard — Vengeance is mine, I will repay? He is the only one who can avenge for you. Your duty is to make peace and not worry. Forgive people if you want salvation. I have come to take you through the short cut to salvation. Remember how the children of Israel suffered and journeyed for 40 years.

The law says do not commit murder or adultery but if you murder but do not commit adultery you have broken all laws. The short cut is this, "Love one another" for if you do you cannot impute sins on others, you will live in peace with all and you will be saved. This is the narrow and short path we take. The injunction is if you forgive any person the Lord will forgive you but if you judge others, the Lord will judge you. If you impute sins on others it means you too are a sinner but Our Lord has shed His Blood so there are no sins. So forgive one another and love one another. We do not judge in Brotherhood, asking who was there and who was not there, all we do is make peace. Upon all that you have done have you seen me suspending or expelling any person? If I do it means I am imputing sin. What do you think is the implication of ‘Love ye one another?’ —it is this that you forgive all those who offend you and not impute sins on others. If you have offended people or people have offended you, go and make peace with them. The moment you make peace with your adversaries, your ailments and sicknesses and problems will vanish; whether hypertension, bad dreams, heat in the stomach or womb or poverty or diabetes or hernia, if you put this gospel into practice all will be well and you will have peace. Theologians and philosophers do not know this because if they did they will not impute sins on others or quarrel or take revenge but you know it and you should go and put it into practice to be saved.

It is said that a stroke of the cane is sufficient for the wise, those who have ears to hear let them hear may the Father Bless His Words now and forever. Amen.

CHAPTER FIVE

THE thing, only thing, that destroys the word of God is fornication. Whosoever must see good visions must refrain from fornication. You have heard about those three Ladies who refrained from fornication and concentrated on God’s work. The widow who was married for seven years and after that concentrated for 84 years on God’s work. You have also heard that the unmarried man or woman keeps themselves pure for the work of God while those who marry care for their husbands and homes and have no time for the work of God. It is said that food is for the belly and the belly for food but God shall destroy both. God never created the body for fornication but to be his divine Tarbenacle where he dwells. If you get involved with a fornicating woman, you have become one flesh with her and all your dreams and visions and prophecies will be from the spirit of fornication no matter how long you stand to testify or give these messages, Anyone who indulges in fornication gives meaningless vision. Satan knows God and they have no regard for each other. Once you stand to give visions God knows where they come from whether from him or satan. One who submits to God becomes one flesh with him. Someone goes to the house of a thief or fornicator to give revelation and after the visioner is given N20 and he receives it, do you know that the thief or fornicator has given you the spirit of theft and fornication? Whenever you hear a visioner has arrived in town the first people who will run to receive him to their homes are thieves, fornicators and liars. Any person who depends only on visions rather than the word of God does not believe in God.

Can you imagine a woman who is not married and a visioner goes and gives vision that the woman is married and she and the husband love themselves greatly — how do you think that those who are present and know the truth will think. Once you are soiled your visions and dreams will be soiled and come from spirits of darkness. When a fornicator opens up a prayer house he cannot let anyone gain from the house without seeing their nakedness. Some fornicators you know because their signs are clear. They cannot get the man or woman they have their eyes on so they give revelation that the Father says they should stay together and work with them so that they can have intimacy with them. Christ said if you do not serve God you will serve the devil. Any good visioner, man or woman, has nothing to do with man or woman but to keep themselves clean and refrain from soiling themselves, so that the spirit of God may dwell in them. This is the first thing I require of you because nobody puts new wine in an old wineskin nor uses new cloth to patch an old garment. There are complaints that people do not have regard for visioners, yes, how can they regard you if you are a fornicator and your visions are meaningless. Any spirit that comes down from above cannot see anything about mundane things but the spirit of the world says things mainly about wife, husband, money and material things. How can God tell you you are worried by charms, ghost and mermaid when he has dominion over these. Which God will tell you to bring N20 or a specific amount to make feast. I have not seen such God. What worries you is fornication. If you refrain yourself completely from fornication, the Holy Father will use you and people will respect you for the visions you give and listen to you always and attentively. Look closely at the three lessons read out. Do you not hear what the evil spirits said to the seven sons of Sceva? Jesus I know, Paul I know but who are you. If you say you are going on ministry work and people see you associating with fornicators they will look down on you and have no regard for you or what you say. You know the women by how they polish their nails and faces and adorn themselves. If people of the world come in here and listen to these words they will know that they are not the words of man; if a murderer picks up the books of Brotherhood he will know that the words are not of man. I do not talk about mundane things to you but of things spiritual which you have never heard and you know they are from heaven. When I pray listen to the words and you know they are from God in heaven and not from man. When I preach to you and make certain revelations, you know they do not come from man but from God in heaven.

If any person hears the words of the Father and adulterates them it is because he is adulterated and so he adulterates God’s words. Listen to the interpreters and know whether they say exactly what I say. If a bottle is clean and you put clean water in it, the water remains clean but if the bottle is dirty and you put clean water in it, the water becomes dirty. So therefore be clean so that what you do will be clean.

I use your character to give you revelation about you. If you want to serve God you have to keep yourself clean so that God can use you. Any person in whom the Holy Ghost dwells will never charge money for house blessing or vision. No pure person sees witchcraft and concoctions or demons or mundane things, and will never see enemies. The Holy Spirit has come himself and we should be happy. I wonder where the world would have been without Him. God reveals three things and you give two and leave one or God gives you four and you add three making seven; Or you are given four messages to a king and one to the audience but you give the king only three and give the audience four. That is what happens to us here, the visioners give what is in their mind not what God tells them. If now you go overseas and start talking about witchcraft they will not take you serious.

A Calabar man goes to the main land to see a sorcerer, the sorcerer will first find out what the Calabar man believes in and then from then on says things only about that thing you believe in. Someone goes from Iboland to a sorcerer the sorcerer knows that Ibos put their trust on poison and Juju and so he builds all he says around poison and juju. That is what the visioners do. They find out what ails a person and dwell on it and you say he is wonderful and give him Ten Naira. Apart from here 34 Ambo there is no where else they give you true visions and that is why they are afraid to come here and give visions so that I do not expose them. This confirms the saying that the Light has come into the world and the world ran away from the Light. 99% of the visioners run away from 34 Ambo because they are afraid. This week is set aside for visioners but look around where are they. You will not see them because they know.

People have tried me and I have revealed to them even things they do not know about themselves. Do you think seeing Juju here and there is the work of God? No.

If you are not a thief how can you see a thief. How do you say what someone is saying in false, it is because you are not truthful. As your Leader I have never told you I have seen all these things but you see them because the spirit of fornication and the world have overtaken you. How can a married person have time and dedication to serve God. As long as division and self-exaltation exists among you it is not conducive to your state of mind. Stay away from the opposite sex and be clean as God is clean and He will use you.

To them that are holy, all things are holy, but to him that is not holy, they see only juju and enemies and evil men. Christ said "its because of you I keep myself holy so that I may use the truth to separate you unto myself." I have never seen any mermaid or juju but only the Father. All the visioners who say they have seen ghosts and mermaids and witches are dirty and it is the spirit of fornication in them that is their problem because the spirit of fornication cannot show you anything that comes from God. If you fornicate you will see all sorts of wicked and nasty things; If you drink wine and become intoxicated, the spirit of wine overtakes you and you see nothing good but wicked and dirty things. If you go to native doctors and drink their concoctions or wear their charms, from that day you will not be able to say anything good any more. This is the time to serve God. Refrain from all mundane and carnal things so you can follow after good. I ask you to come out from that deadly and wicked man (fornication) so that you can do God’s work. Fornication breeds drinking, anger, lies, murder, concoctions, charms etc., so lets stay away from him. If you are a fornicator your preaching and visions and deeds are all false. Tell the world that I say that if you are a fornicator, I will never issue any certificate to you till you refrain. All fornicators should detach themselves from God because they do hot belong to God but Satan and serve satan.

Fornicators give visions to glorify their father who is the devil. They see witches and mermaids because these are of their father the devil. Some have the boldness to stand before God nd say they were this and that and had a lot but since they started serving God all their belongings have vanished. I know all of you one by one, you are all lairs. You all pretend to tell the truth but inwardly I know what you are. The father is examining and watching all visioners and time is coming when he will pick out those who are real and his selection is final.

You have married for more than twenty years and yet you do not want to detach yourself and serve God. Is 20 — 30 years of marriage not sufficient for you? Everybody everywhere is afraid of visioners because they seduce peoples’ wives or husbands. Are these good visioners? If you go to deprive someone of his money or property or wife or husband, is it the work of God? Some people do not go to carnal churches because they know what goes on there. This is the truth — if you do not fornicate and are clean, everything you will see will be clean and from God, you will walk clean and talk clean. A visioner who instills fear, backbites, quarrels etc., is he a good visioner? Brethren your coming here to see and hear the Leader is useless because when you go home you do not preach and practice what you receive. God does not want your money or anything, he wants you to be clean. If you walk according to the flesh you will perish but if you walk according to the spirit you will have eternal life. God’s spirit cannot live in a dirty person only dirty spirits because the dirty state of your body suits them.

If you preach one thing and practice another people will not take you serious but run away from you. Right from the day Saul was made Paul he surrendered to Christ and had nothing to do with woman or anything dirty. From the day Peter said he loved Jesus Christ above all, Our Lord chose him to Himself and from then Peter lived unto Christ. Have you heard that they went back to fornicate or commit adultery with other peoples partners? If you dirty yourself through what other medium can God enter into you. If I had not come what could have become of you and the world. Weep because you have disgraced God. You want position and office in this Kingdom, you want a Name, what kind of good name can a fornicator have. Leave fornication and see what God can use you for. If you are beautiful or handsome, leave yourself to yourself and you will be a precious jewel to God.

In this kingdom the greatest person is he/she who surrenders his/her flesh to God. does not want your money or beauty but all that he wants is for you to surrender to him and to keep your body clean and pure. Whosoever has refrained from fornication is no more earthly, he no more thinks of anything carnal. I know a few who have refrained from fornication and at the fullness of time Father will use them. Urinating is no problem but try and cross the hedge so you can urinate. What is a fornicator going to preach? People who know him will pick their bags and leave because they cannot figure what he will be telling them. A married and an unmarried woman are not the same. A married woman puts her thoughts on her husband and carnal or mundane things; an unmarried woman/man put their thoughts on God and keep themselves pure so that God can use them.

You have been given the spirit. God has nothing to do with flesh and blood. Where the carcass is, there you find vultures. Fornicators are real first class scavengers. Any fornicator who says he/she has seen this kingdom is a liar. A fornicator does not fear God. Have you not heard about Potiphar’s wife and how Joseph was proven innocent? That is also how, these days, fornicating women and men tell all sorts of tales about you if you refuse their patronage. I want you to go and test and see. They adorn their bodies, drink, quarrel, fight, cause confusion, smoke, backbite and are of no use. A fornicator is likened to a lion who cannot live with a goat in the same room or he will devour the goat at the least chance.

Take care how you deal with them or you will fall foul of them. When Lot left Sodom and Gomorrah with his two daughters the first daughter wined him and he had intimacy with this first daughter and she got pregnant. The second daughter on seeing this enquired. The second daughter used the same strategy and got pregnant too. Do you not know that drinking, smoking, attending night clubs, and high life are being introduced into our community by the spirit of fornication? As soon as you refrain you are free from night club life, drinks, smoke and that wicked spirit.

So what kills your vision is fornication and there is a lot of fornication among visioners. Do no use the cloth of God to commit fornication. The whole world is suffering today because of fornication. In homes, offices, palaces, churches everywhere is stinking with fornication. A spiritual song says "children of God this is the fullness of time," but Satan says there is plenty of time.

That is why you see the children of God going around and shouting to the world that it is the fullness of time but Satan and his disciples go around saying there is plenty of time and the people continue in sin. Refrain from sin and leave your body clean so that God may enter and use you. He that hath ears let him hear and may God bless his words. Amen.

All this week I have reminded you about all the things you have forgotten. Most of your regard earthly things as your God.

Money and everything comes from God. You are the storehouse. God has stored children, food, money, in you. Whatever you have God has given you to keep when people come you have to give to them. That is why Our Lord said what he said in the first lesson: He that has money or vision or love or food let him do likewise. If you do not share what you have with one another you have problems. Some have soup but no foofoo and others have foofoo and no soup so let him that hath soup and he that hath foofoo share so that they both will have soup and foofoo and not hunger. If they refuse to share they will hunger and die because soup on its own, cannot satisfy anyone, neither can foofoo alone. One person cannot have everything. Those who have the Holy Spirit should share with those who have the spirit of the flesh that they too might have the gift of the spirit. If everybody is rich and none poor, how can we care for each other? If all are poor how can we survive. As heaven is higher than earth so is God’s wisdom. If God gives you many children he won’t give you much money, if he gives you much money he won’t give you many children. After he ascended he bestowed the twelve powers of man on his (12) twelve disciples because all powers belong to him. We should share what we have with others. Visioners should give vision for it is their gift and those who receive should also give. It should be give and take because whatever you have you have received. Nothing bestowed upon you is your personal property. People think we all are equal, we are not. In a place where there are blind the one who sees can direct them. A nation needs only one prophet and he alone can lead millions. Unfortunately not many people know how to use these gifts and that is why the Holy Spirit has come to lead and teach how to do things so you can have peace. He who has, let him give to them that have not so that all may share.

Nobody hates everybody and nobody loves everybody. The rich and poor are hated and loved. Unless the rich and poor live together there will not be basis for happiness. One person is good, the other bad, they have to live together so that both can work together. If you are a millionaire, God can never give you a rich woman to marry. You pray there should be no sickness, poverty, wretchedness etc etc, there must be so that this word of God will be fulfilled.

God’s wisdom is very wonderful. In a family where there is a very rich person, there will be many poor who will depend on him. In a community where there are rich people, there will be scores of poor. If the rich do not share they have failed in their service to God. That is why it is said the rich always die young. Somebody can boldly come to you and demand N40,OOO and refuse to go till you give him. You get angry yet he insists.

Another one comes and another and they tell you it is God’s money and you must give them. This continues till your money finishes and you live at the mercy of others. Then later you will see people coming from left, right and center, giving you thousands and you might end up having more, a lot more than you had before because God always multiplies good deeds. We should not do things according to the knowledge and wisdom of the world. Brotherhood means sharing. If there is a bethel where there are poor people, go and manifest God’s glory there; if there is a bethel with few members go there and increase them.

There is no headquarter or low quarter in Brotherhood; no big or small no rich or poor but Brethren who share and live in common. This new kingdom is sharing. In Lagos, before, there were no houses but in Brotherhood when you get to Lagos, it is Brother or Sister and you are received and transported around free. Whatever you have you should share and the happiness will go around and God will reward and bless all. A rich couple begets a son, that son will definitely marry from a poor family so that through the marriage both families may become rich. Whatsoever you see in the world is not the hand work of man but of God. He wants the rich to give out from their hand. Whatever he gives you, give back to him. Some rich people do not know this so they suffer. God gives you wealth, knowledge, beauty etc, yes he wants you to keep them and use them so that whenever he wants them you will give them back to him. You are salt of the earth and if the salt is not good it should be thrown away.

There are millionaires and thousand naires among you and yet if there is function, a poor person gives Ten Naira and a millionaire gives Twenty Naira how can you clap for him. If there is anything you can do alone, if you can look after 20 brethren, do not wait for launching or any function, bring out the money and do it.

Those are the conditions. Each day each year from First January, - December 31 we dwell on the same thing. In other churches this is a Sunday -- Sunday affair but in Brotherhood it is every minute. People say yes they are there in Brotherhood always because God has given them much so they should give God a lot in return. To him that much is given, much is required. Anytime you give out ,God returns to you. You use money to go to night clubs to drink, to prostitutes, native doctors, courts and secret societies that do not bring glory to God. You use, money to buy and kill animals and build houses with sleazy furniture thinking you are enjoying life. You do not know that God will ask for those things. Brotherhood does not want poor people. He wants you to know that whatever he has given you that you use as much to do something unto God. Brotherhood is not clear to you yet - when it becomes clear to you, you will practise this and be happy. What is money and what is clothes. If you give ,you store blessings for yourself and also have eternal life. Free will Offering and Charity are for your own good. Alms giving and helping poor students with scholarship, providing for the Old people and homeless, anything you do is for your own good. Do not wait to be told, and do not do it as unto man but as unto God.

In the past you depended on doctors but now you have been given all powers, go back to these hospitals and heal them. All powers have been given to Brotherhood. Go to hospitals, prisons and such places and pray and in a few days they will be discharged. Any house you go to and pray whatever their problems were they will vanish. Go from house to house, to schools to churches to all nations, they are all burning and when you get there the fires will quench. Much power is given you and much is required from you. Spiritual power and gift is given you free and you should give unto others free of charge. Go into the vine yard and use the power of Holy Spirit given you to help and liberate others. Take your faith and go to the faithless, your clothes to the clotheless, your food to the foodless, that is your duty to serve God day and night.

Don’t store for yourself anything God gives you. Use it as God wants you. Abraham was given only one child - Isaac. When it was required of him, he willingly agreed to sacrifice him. This endeared him to God, and God blessed him abundantly. He gives you wife, children, money, position if you do not use them to serve him, he has nothing to do with you. If you bury your money or hide your clothes and shoes, they profit you nothing. God will take them and give to someone who does not have. What did you bring into this world? All the things of this world will pass away. The rich shall become the poor and the poor shall become rich. Anything you have, children or money, and you refuse to use it to serve God, he will take away all your children; and anyone who has only one child and who does God’s work will be given more children. Some of you in Brotherhood have ten children but you will not let any be a student or full time worker. Peter asked Christ, all those who have abandoned everything to follow you what will be their reward. You remember Our Lord’s answer.

Look at those fugitives of Nigeria who have their money in foreign banks, if they had used it to serve God they would have no problem today. Envelopes are sent to them and the envelopes are returned empty. Store your things in the Kingdom of God and nothing will happen to them, no ant will eat it, no fire will burn it, no rain will fall on it, no rogue will steal it, it will be yours forever. Be kind to everybody, give alms to the poor.

The feasts you do for fellowships and others, you are storing your wealth in heaven. Visioners have given you visions that have helped you and the same visioner is going hungry and you do nothing. What kind of heart do you have. A servant is worthy of his reward. You go round hospitals and your sickness is not cured, a visioner gives you vision and your sickness is healed — and you say you thank God and give your heart to God, — why do you not go to a hospital and give them that heart of yours. It is because we do not show a thankful heart to God by rewarding the visioners that they demand financial rewards because they know that if they do not do so, you will not give them a kobo.

There is no duty or profession or position which has more honour or is higher than being a mouthpiece of God. You tell a visioner, you are given freely so give freely. The visioner has given you visions freely, how about your money you were given freely have you given it, any of it freely to the visioner? How about the food or clothes you were given freely? Have you given any freely to the visioner? Let us always remember these injunctions and share what we have and give freely to the needy that all may have and that God may be glorified.

He who has ears to hear, let him hear and may God bless His Holy Words now and forever. Amen.

CHAPTER SEVEN

These are our lessons this night. This is not the time to ask God to give you the Holy Spirit, neither is it time to say if you had money or if you were educated you would serve God. It is time to hearken to the lessons read to you.

If you say you have surrendered yourself to God and want to serve God what do you mean? If you have never practiced any gospel the one of tonight is a must. If you can extract charms and do other thing like visions etc and you do not live by these gospels it profits you nothing. You live only by the words of God.

The injunction is refrain completely from fornication, idolatory, eating of any form of blood. From this night nobody should commit fornication. once you refrain from fornication all your problems vanish. You know that all those who commit iniquity will not inherit the Kingdom. It is not those who call Lord, Lord, but those who do the will of my Father who will enter the Kingdom of heaven. Then you will say Father did I not do this or that in your Name? Then the Father will say depart from me, you worker of iniquity. So you are not saved by vision or extracting charms or prophesying but by living according to the words of the gospel.

There’s no need asking for the Holy Spirit - He is on earth. Only practise his injunctions and you will freely receive the Holy Spirit. Same for those who ask for power and wisdom. Workers of iniquity have no share in this Kingdom. If you do not enter the Kingdom don’t say it is because you are not rich or educated or you don’t have relations or you can’t sing or read the Bible. It is the Holy Spirit that does all that. All that is required of you is to abstain from what the texts say.

Any sin you commit is outside the body. Once you commit fornication the whole body is in disarray. When Adam and Eve committed fornication God left them and they had to depend on angels to help them.

This is the luckiest generation because the Father Himself has come. The only condition He gives is that you refrain from fornication. It is advisable to look for the black goat when it is still light. You continue to commit sin and everyday you confess that you have sinned — how will God dwell in you. You seek peace, health, power, wisdom and God controls all these and has given you a condition — how can you have those things if you do not keep His injunctions.

All glory promised our father Abraham and others will be given to the children of God in this generation PROVIDED you have put into practice the gospel of tonight. At the fullness of time those who had forsaken everything for the sake of God will be given those things a hundred fold PLUS they will have everlasting life.

Tell me if you refrain from fornication and idolatory and spilling or eating blood and gain everlasting life what have you lost; and conversely what have you gained if you continue to indulge in those vices.

THE FATHER NO MORE SENDS ANGELS, HE HAS NOT SENT ANY OTHER SON, HE HAS NOW COME BY HIMSELF AND HE IS TELLING YOU TO FORSAKE ALL THE THINGS ENUMERATED IN THE GOSPEL SO THAT YOU CAN FOLLOW HIM AND HE DWELLS IN YOU.

Whoever has been bestowed with the Holy Spirit has no right to fornicate or bow down to any idol or image; He has no right to eat meat of any kind strangled or not.

These vices enumerated are the ones most painful in the sight of God. Paul abstained from meat and drink and never touched any woman from the day he was called. When Paul heard Peter had taken strangled meat he did not hesitate to go and chide him. If you do not want to enter into the Kingdom of God then continue in your ways and you will perish. These are the last gospels being delivered to you. Time is coming when no more gospels will be delivered to you so you better start practising the instructions of all the gospels.

Fornication and idolatry cause wretchedness of the body. You are the children of God and He is revealing to you and not everybody in the world so that you may not perish. There are people here who do not eat meat or fish or fornicate. They don’t do it of their own volition but God reveals this out of love. Also so that He will use the little things to confound the wisdom of the world. If you are living in a thatched house and it begins to leak you will eventually pack out; if you are living in a sound house and the sticks are eaten by white ants and the mud begins to crumble you will vacate the house because it is no more safe. But if you are living in a solid house you have no fears. Fornication, whore mongering, idolatry, eating blood breaks down our bodies and keeps away the Holy Spirit.

Have the Thomases heard that? Children of perdition have you heard that? GOD HAS COME BY HIMSELF AND HE IS PLEADING WITH YOU. Once it gets dark you cannot find a black goat. Flee fornication completely. It is these vices that cause sickness and consequently death. Some complain of high blood pressure. Others of Anemia. Why can they not listen. I have preached, pleaded, shed tears and yet you do not listen what else will I do.

It was for the sin of fornication that God departed from Adam and Eve.

That is why Christ said He had to go so that the comforter the Holy Spirit might come. Now the Holy Spirit is here, open your hearts so that He may enter. Flee this vice of fornication. You want to win contract and use the proceeds to build a house of God; you want to have money so that you can buy a bus for Choristers or for people to use for ministry work. God does not require you house or money or bus. ALL HE WANTS IS THAT YOU REFRAIN FROM FORNICATION. Some people come here once and are told to stop fornicating and they obey. You are here as charm removers, visioners etc. and I plead and preach that you flee fornication but you persist, does it mean you want to try or tempt God or disgrace Him? I am begging the world to avoid fornication. Let the women remain with their beauty and the men with their handsomeness both minding their God. All those listening to this and the whole world must stop fornication. I know you are saying why did I come this night but I called you so that I can destroy your present body and rebuild you so that you can enter the Kingdom. I know a lot of you here are sad at heart because you love the desires of the flesh but you MUST stop fornication forthwith. High blood pressure, anemia, poverty etc are caused by fornication. Whoever commits fornication has committed sin unto death. Various forms of sickness, internal heat, eye trouble, rheumatism, bellyache, waist pain — they are all caused by fornication and whoremongering. What is the use committing fornication and suffering from all these ailments. Have you ever seen any person awarded honors for fornication or made King because of fornication? Then what do you gain? Whatever is not good for your body is not good for your Spirit either.

Have you heard that? No person should say any of those things mentioned about you. If you commit fornication it is better a stone is tied around your neck and thrown into a river. Let not fornication be mentioned about the children of God.

Let a woman have one husband and vice-versa and be satisfied or else refrain from sexual relations completely from tonight.

Right from tonight I do not want to hear any one mention fornication or uncleanness about the children of God.

You were called to enjoy the glory reserved for you from the beginning of the world. If you refrain, angels will minister unto you and you reap that glory. A man is your brother and a woman is your sister in Christ and no more.

Paradise lost is now regained and God has given it to you free of charge. If you lose it you have yourself to blame. The only way you will keep it is to flee fornication and uncleanness, and practice the words of God.

I don’t like to take you far; a stroke of the cane is enough for the wise. those who have ears to hear let them hear what the gospel says and May God bless His Holy Words now and forever. Amen.
