PRESENTS:
THE END OF TIME
WHAT OUR FATHER HAS TO SAY ABOUT IT.
BIBLE CLASS LESSONS, EVERLASTING GOSPELS
BY:

LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU

THE SUPERNATURAL TEACHER, AND
SOLE SPIRITUAL HEAD OF THE UNIVERSE
BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR
HIGHLIGHTS:

THE OWNER OF THE VINEYARD HAS COME:

GOD IS NOT FOR ANY SPECIFIC GROUP OF PEOPLE OR NATION; HE IS
FOR ALL. THE SAME GOD IS FOR THE BLACKS, THE WHITES, MEN,
WOMEN, YOUNG, OLD, WEAK, STRONG, RICH AND POOR. HE IS GOD
OF ALL AND IS EVER READY TO HELP THOSE WHO CALL UPON HIM.
EVENTS AROUND THE WORLD AND EVEN HERE IN BROTHERHOOD
POINT TO THE FACT THAT GOD IS HERE ON EARTH. ALL THESE
THINGS PROVIDE ENOUGH EVIDENCE FOR YOU TO GO INTO THE
WORLD TO TELL THE PEOPLE THAT THE OWNER OF THE WORLD IS
HERE.
2.THIS IS THE END OF TIME THAT HAD BEEN FORETOLD. IT IS A TIME
THAT HAD OFTEN BEEN FORETOLD. IT IS A TIME IN WHICH ALL THE
INHABITANTS OF THIS EARTH SHOULD GO TO GOD ON BENDED
KNEES.

3. Now is time for us all to present ourselves before God and ask Him
to use us in accordance with His Will. This is the time of mercy, and
the door of compassion has been flung open to mankind. THE END OF
TIME IS DRAWING NIGH AND REPENTANCE MIGHT BE RATHER LATE
FOR ANY MAN WHO FAILS TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY.
4. TAKE THIS MESSAGE TO ALL THE CORNERS AND TO ALL
COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD. TAKE IT TO THE BLACKS, THE WHITES,
YOUNG OR OLD, RICH OR POOR; TAKE IT TO THE WEAK, THE STRONG
AND TO THE GOVERNMENTS ALL OVER THE WORLD. THEY SHOULD
BE INFORMED THAT THEY THEMSELVES ARE THE SOURCES OF THEIR
PROBLEMS; THAT THEY HAVE FORSAKEN GOD WHO CREATED
HEAVEN AND EARTH AND ALL THE THINGS THEREIN. AS A RESULT
OF THIS DISOBEDIENCE, GOD HAS PERSONALLY TIED THE HANDS
AND LEGS OF MAN. MAN MUST SURRENDER TO HIS CREATOR,
RECOGNISE AND WORSHIP HIM. IN ORDER TO HAVE PEACE, IT IS A
MUST THAT MAN SHOULD LISTEN TO THE INSTRUCTIONS OF GOD
AND CARRY THEM OUT. MAN SHOULD PRAY FERVENTLY FOR
HIMSELF.
5. IF YOU REFER TO THE GOSPEL, YOU WILL SEE EVERYTHING
CLEARLY STATED BY GOD THAT, HE WOULD SHAKE BOTH THE
HEAVENS AND THE EARTH AT THE CLOSE OF THE AGE. THEREFORE
DO NOT GO TO ANY PERSON, SEEKING FOR SALVATION, FOR HE, THE
HOLY SPIRIT, HAS INCAPACITATED EVERYBODY, AND HE HAS
RENDERED HUMAN KNOWLEDGE USELESS. RE-EXAMINE YOUR LIFE
AND WAYS NOW.
6. UNTIL THE WORLD FINALLY REALIZES THAT IT IS LOVE ALONE
THAT REIGNS AND THAT WHOEVER POSSESSES IT NEEDS NOT
CAMPAIGN FOR ANY POSITION TO BE ELECTED, THE PRESENT TREND
OF EVENTS WILL PERSIST.
THE HOLY SPIRIT IS IN THE WORLD BUT THE INHABITANTS OF THE
WORLD DO NOT KNOW HIM. WHETHER THE WORLD KNOWS HIM OR
NOT, THIS IS THE REIGN OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. In short, God's
government has fully started. In order to be on the safe side, it is
expedient that the world leaders should peacefully surrender the
rulership and governance to the owner now. IF YOU RECOGNISE YOUR
GOD AND CLING TO HIM, ALL WILL BE WELL WITH YOU BECAUSE HE
IS TRUTH AND LIFE.
THE WORLD CONTINUES TO GAZE INTO THE SKY, EXPECTING OUR
LORD JESUS CHRIST TO DESCEND; WHEREAS HE HAS FOR LONG SET
UP HIS DIVINE ADMINISTRATION. HE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH
KILLING, IDOLATRY, DIVISION, AND ANYTHING SINFUL. THE ONLY
THING THAT REIGNS IN GOD'S KINGDOM IS LOVE.
6. THIS GOSPEL WITH ITS REVELATION IS BEING GIVEN SO THAT THE
ENTIRE INHABITANTS OF THE WORLD CAN BE DULY INFORMED OF THE
IMPENDING DOOM. A CITY WITHOUT A PROPHET IS RUINED, AND THAT IS
*THE MORE REASON THIS GOSPEL SHOULD BE DISSEMINATED
THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. I HAVE BEEN WAITING ALL THIS WHILE TO
HEAR WHO WILL COME OUT WITH THE REAL SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEMS
PLAGUING THE WORLD. NO ONE HAS COME UP EVER SINCE AND NOW I AM
MAKING THIS DECLARATION TO THE WHOLE WORLD THAT THEY SHOULD
RETURN TO GOD IF THEY DESIRE PEACE AND PROSPERITY.
7. *FOR BROTHERHOOD MEMBERS ONLY
*APART FROM MEMBERS OF BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR, NO
OTHER PEOPLE ARE COMMISSIONED AND EMPOWERED TO CARRY THIS
DIVINE MESSAGE TO THE WORLD. YOU ARE HEREBY ASKED TO COME TO
GOD AND HE WILL SURELY FORGIVE YOU. ONCE YOU SURRENDER YOUR
BODY AND SOUL TO HIM, HE WILL BLESS YOU AND PROTECT YOU.
1 THE END OF TIME

FIRST BIBLE LESSON: MATTHEW 12:29

"Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house and spoil his
goods, except he first bind the strong man? And then he will spoil his
house."

SECOND BIBLE LESSON: MATTHEW 11:28

"Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give
you rest."

GOLDEN TEXT: ROMANS 10:12-13

"For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the
same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon Him. For whosoever
shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

INTRODUCTORY CHORUS

Call upon me in the time of trouble, call upon me, I will answer you.

YOUR REAL SOURCE OF HELP

Brethren, the above song form the theme of this gospel. Many people
think that there exists another source of salvation other than calling
on the name of God. THIS IS THE END OF TIME THAT HAD BEEN
FORETOLD. IT IS A TIME THAT HAD OFTEN BEEN FORETOLD. IT IS A
TIME IN WHICH ALL THE INHABITANTS OF THIS EARTH SHOULD GO
TO GOD ON BENDED KNEES. It is therefore practically unprofitable
and sheer waste of time, energy, and money for any man to go to the
native doctor, soothsayer, or medical doctor for cure or salvation.
SEEK AFTER GOD AND GO TO HIM URGENTLY AND ON BENDED
KNEES. GO TO GOD WITH ALL YOUR PROBLEMS FOR HE WILL NOT
FAIL TO ANSWER YOU.

Whatever diagnosis a physician, a necromancer, or a seer may come

up with as regards your problem, is false; and the solution to your
problem lies not with them. THE ONLY SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM
OF MANKIND LIES IN SEEKING FOR GOD. GO TO HIM ON BENDED
KNEES AND IN SUPPLICATION AND WITH A PENITENT HEART, FOR HE
WILL SURELY RECEIVE YOU. YOU SHOULD PROSTRATE BEFORE HIM
AND CONFESS YOUR SINS FOR HE ALONE IS CAPABLE OF FORGIVING
YOU. No physician or native doctor or seer, can answer you when you
are faced with problems. None of them can forgive you your
transgression or change you. Only the Holy Spirit is capable of doing
this. GO TO GOD FOR HE ALONE HAS THE ANSWER TO ALL YOUR
PROBLEMS. Mankind has rebelled against his Creator, becoming the
Biblical prodigal son. The parable of Our Lord Jesus Christ has thus
been fulfilled this day. It is high time we all turned to God or else it will
be too late. This is not a period to request for mundane things.
Now is time for us all to present ourselves before God and ask Him to
use us in accordance with His Will. This is the time of mercy, and the
door of compassion has been flung open to mankind. THE END OF
TIME IS DRAWING NIGH AND REPENTANCE MIGHT BE RATHER LATE
FOR ANY MAN WHO FAILS TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY.

THE SOURCE OF YOUR PROBLEM

Your problems do not come from your parents, husband, wife, children,
community, or government, but the sins you commit and you have
refused to refrain from. Our Lord Jesus Christ did illustrate it well in
the parable of the prodigal son. A certain man had two sons. One day,
the younger of the two sons met his father and requested for his own
share of the father's inheritance. His father obliged and gave him his
share accordingly. After taking it, the son departed to a strange land.
There, he squandered the whole wealth in drinking, smoking, enjoying
with women generally, and living a deplorable life. He eventually
exhausted the whole money and begged to be given remnants of food
usually thrown to pigs.
One day after much suffering, he regained his senses and remembered
his Father's estate with many laborers, and how he used to feed them.
So he finally resolved to return to his father. He summoned up courage
to go to his father on bended knees and with a penitent heart. He
said:" I will arise and go to my father and will say unto him, father, I
have offended against heaven and before thee, I am not worthy to be
called thy son, but take me back as one of your hired servants. (Luke
15:11-12).

It is therefore the height of insolence and disregard for anyone to ask

God to give him a child, wife, husband, money, or anything. MAN
SHOULD ALWAYS BE PRAYING TO GOD FOR FORGIVENESS OF HIS
SINS, BECAUSE MAN HAS DERAILED FROM THE PATH OF RECTITUDE
AND MAN HAS FALLEN SHORT OF GOD'S GRACE. WHAT WE SHOULD
DO DAILY IS TO CONFESS OUR SINS AND ASK GOD FOR HIS
FORGIVENESS.

That is exactly what is expected of all human beings, irrespective of

your race and color. This too is the cause of untold hardship and
suffering in the world today. THE PRESENT SITUATION OF THINGS IN
THE WORLD IS THE RESULT OF GOD'S PRESENCE ON EARTH. HE
WANTS THE ENTIRE HUMANITY TO WORSHIP HIM WITH PENITENT
HEARTS.
Let no man contemplate suicide as a solution to the present situation
in the world. Do not think of running away from your country to any
other place because He is everywhere. Whether you climb to the peak
of a mountain, or go into the abyss, there is no salvation for you
except you come to God on bended knees. None of these things and
places hold salvation for man. IF YOU COME TO HIM WITH A PENITENT
HEART, HE WILL SURELY WIPE AWAY BOTH YOUR SINS AND TEARS.
FOR HE IS GOD OF MERCY AND COMPASSION AND HE IS EVER READY
AND WILLING TO FORGIVE ANYONE WHO IS PENITENT. If any person
should trace your problems to juju, witchcraft, apparition, mermaid, or
any evil force, do not believe. THE REAL SOURCE OF YOUR PROBLEM
IS YOUR SINFULNESS. THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD ARE SO
AFFLICTED BECAUSE THEY HAVE FORSAKEN GOD AND STOOD FAR
AWAY FROM HIM.
As the heaven is higher than the earth, so also is God's wisdom beyond
human comprehension. (Isaiah 55:9) The first lesson states clearly
that man is the architect of his fate. It is also stated in the scripture
that: FOR WHOM THE LORD LOVETH HE CHASTENETH,AND
SCOURGETH EVERY SON WHOM HE RECEIVETH. Hebrews 12:6

NO PERSON, THEREFORE CAN GET INTO THE HOUSE OF A STRONG

MAN AND PLUNDER HIS GOODS EXCEPT HE BINDS HIS HANDS AND
LEGS FIRST. THEREFORE GOD HAS NOT ONLY BOUND THE HANDS
AND LEGS OF THE ENTIRE INHABITANTS OF THE WORLD, BUT HE
HAS ALSO SEALED THEIR EYES AND EARS.

Both the white and black races claim to be wiser than God and some
claim that God does not exist at all. The question is: "Are men able to
detect the source of their affliction?" THOSE WHO CLAIM TO BE GOD,
HAVE THEY BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE SOLUTIONS TO THE WORLD'S
PROBLEMS? CAN YOU IMAGINE GOD'S PATIENCE AND MERCY?

The whites have tried their utmost to create a human being and other
things far beyond their knowledge. This explains why they(the whites),
arrogate to themselves the status of gods and would not believe that
God exists at all.

No man takes God and His affairs seriously. People keep on enlisting
the help of secret societies and cults, in search of powers. They
research into various spheres, scientifically and spiritually, but to no
avail. These are mere exercises in futility. They can never get any
meaningful solutions to the real problem that way.

Church denominations are founded all over the world. Some are named
after families that founded them. But has that provided the solution to
man's problems? All these things that men do are meant to glorify
themselves. Neither the church denominations nor any group of people
have provided any solutions to the world's problems.

WHEN GOD DEEMED IT FIT TO SEND HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON TO

EARTH, HE FIRST OF ALL SENT JOHN THE BAPTIST AS HIS
FORERUNNER. MAN HAD FALLEN SHORT OF GOD'S GLORY AND
GRACE. THAT WAS WHY HE SENT HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON TO
COME AND SHED HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD FOR THE REMISSION OF
MAN'S SINS AND TO DRAW MAN CLOSE TO GOD.

Christ Himself did say: "Nevertheless I tell you the truth; it is

expedient for you that I go away, for if I go not away, the Comforter
will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send Him unto you." (John
16:7).

He also said in another passage: "I have many things to say unto you,
but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit, when he, the spirit of truth is
come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself;
but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak; and he will show
you things to come. He shall glorify me; for he shall receive of mine,
and shall show it unto you. All things that the Father hath are mine:
therefore said I that he shall take of mine and shall show it unto you."
(John 16:12-15).

How many church denominations and individuals have practiced the

injunctions of Our Lord Jesus Christ? Rather, mankind is busy with
learning things of the world- carnal teachings that would lead him only
to destruction. It is worthy of note that money, knowledge of science
and technology or secret societies cannot bring salvation to mankind.
THIS TIME IS HARD AND UNFAVORABLE FOR ANYBODY WHO WISHES
TO CONTINUE IN DISOBEDIENCE AND SINFULNESS. It is really
pathetic that the inhabitants of the world have eyes but cannot see,
they have ears, but they cannot hear, and they have minds but they
cannot think. Man thus is ignorant of what is happening around him.
He has failed to give a thought to the events around him and their
causes.

TAKE THIS MESSAGE TO ALL THE CORNERS AND TO ALL COUNTRIES

OF THE WORLD. TAKE IT TO THE BLACKS, THE WHITES, YOUNG OR
OLD, RICH OR POOR; TAKE IT TO THE WEAK, THE STRONG AND TO
THE GOVERNMENTS ALL OVER THE WORLD. THEY SHOULD BE
INFORMED THAT THEY THEMSELVES ARE THE SOURCES OF THEIR
PROBLEMS; THAT THEY HAVE FORSAKEN GOD WHO CREATED
HEAVEN AND EARTH AND ALL THE THINGS THEREIN. AS A RESULT
OF THIS DISOBEDIENCE, GOD HAS PERSONALLY TIED THE HANDS
AND LEGS OF MAN. MAN MUST SURRENDER TO HIS CREATOR,
RECOGNISE AND WORSHIP HIM. IN ORDER TO HAVE PEACE, IT IS A
MUST THAT MAN SHOULD LISTEN TO THE INSTRUCTIONS OF GOD
AND CARRY THEM OUT. MAN SHOULD PRAY FERVENTLY FOR
HIMSELF.

THE REIGN OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

This is the reign of the Holy Spirit which is built on love, truth, peace,
perseverance, mercy, and all the virtues. People continue to steal,
quarrel, fight, and kill, indulge in idolatry and live abominably. DO YOU
NOT KNOW THAT NOW IS THE REIGN OF THE HOLY SPIRIT WHICH IS
BUILT ON LOVE? It is stated in the scripture that: Where there is no
vision the people perish.. (Proverbs 29:18). Therefore, this is a golden
opportunity for all to hearken to His clarion call and repent. The entire
world is still filled with sins. That is why the people are now tied both
hands and legs in order to bring them to submission.

Governments, business organizations, churches and indeed the entire

inhabitants of the earth are rendered weak and incapacitated. Instead
of progress, there is now retrogression as a result of the disobedience
of mankind. Famine, diseases, wars and various pestilences are the
order of the day, far beyond the understanding of man. Nobody knows
the solutions to these problems. THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE: LET US ALL
TURN TO GOD ON BENDED KNEES AND WITH PERTINENT HEARTS,
FOR HE WILL SAVE US.

Meetings and conferences are held daily the world over and decisions
are taken, yet, there is no solution. Researches are done and treatises
written on various problems, yet the problems are far from any
solution. All these efforts are in vain. THE ONLY SOLUTION TO MAN'S
PROBLEM IS GOD HIMSELF WHO GIVES SALVATION AND PEACE.

Are people not aware of the fact that their suffering and predicaments
are clear indication of God's displeasure with human activities? For
man to experience peace and joy and prosperity, he must flee from evil
and refrain from sins. The academics, the technocrats and scientists
are at their wits end. The soothsayer and seers cannot predict or
foretell anything meaningful. Industries all over the globe are folding
up. What is responsible for all these? It is a clear indication of God's
hand in the affairs of man and a manifestation of His wrath upon the
world.

The only solution for man is to retrace his steps by going back to God
his Creator. Whatever man is experiencing now is the tip of the
iceberg, in other words, it is a police action because, the real calamity
is yet to come. Withdraw your membership of secret societies, refrain
from stealing, smoking, drinking, and other forms of vices, AND GO TO
GOD WITH A PENITENT HEART. Nobody should waste his time and
energy condemning another person or church denomination. That
alone is like adding salt to injury.

God has not taken the people of the world unawares with the situation
they find themselves. These are the things that have long been spoken
of. IF YOU REFER TO THE GOSPEL, YOU WILL SEE EVERYTHING
CLEARLY STATED BY GOD THAT, HE WOULD SHAKE BOTH THE
HEAVENS AND THE EARTH AT THE CLOSE OF THE AGE. THEREFORE
DO NOT GO TO ANY PERSON, SEEKING FOR SALVATION, FOR HE, THE
HOLY SPIRIT, HAS INCAPACITATED EVERYBODY, AND HE HAS
RENDERED HUMAN KNOWLEDGE USELESS. RE-EXAMINE YOUR LIFE
AND WAYS NOW.

FIRST BIBLE LESSON: MATTHEW 12:29

Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his
goods, except he first bind the strong man and then he will spoil his
house.

WHERE ARE THE MEN OF VALOR?

Where are the mighty men of the world today? Where are the most
powerful witch-doctors and necromancers? Where are the world's
eminent scientists, astrologers, the economists and the world leaders?
Have they been able to provide any solution to the present situation in
the world?

WE NEED TO GO BACK TO GOD WITH PENITENT HEARTS FOR HE IS

LOVE AND THE ONLY ANSWER TO OUR PROBLEMS. APART FROM GOD
THERE IS NO SALVATION FOR MANKIND. ANY PROBLEM THAT IS
BEYOND MAN'S ABILITY MUST BE HANDED OVER TO GOD. PEOPLE
SHOULD NOW REALISE THAT ALL THE PROBLEMS WHICH COULD NOT
BE SOLVED BY HUMAN BEINGS ARE DIRECTLY FROM GOD AS
PUNISHMENT. IN SUCH CASES ONLY GOD HIMSELF CAN PROVIDE
SOLUTIONS.

FOR EXAMPLE, MINERALS ARE PRODUCED, CROPS CULTIVATED AND

MONEY MINTED, YET THE WORLD CONTINUES TO BE IN WANT.
INFLATION SPIRALS DAILY, AND UNEMPLOYMENT INCREASES BY
LEAPS AND BOUNDS. EVEN IN AMERICA WHERE JOBS USED TO BE IN
SURPLUS, THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE NOW SCARES EVEN THEIR
RENOWNED ECONOMISTS.

Countries embark on deportation of both legal and illegal aliens, for

the purpose of easing unemployment and other economic burdens, yet,
these problems persist. The more the foreign nationals are repatriated,
the more the problems of the economy.

The solution to these problems lies not in sacrificing to idols, spilling

human blood, sending people to prison, or struggling for parcels of
land. It is also vain for people to get involved in endless litigations.
Know that except a disease is properly diagnosed, no cure could be
effected. Except the correct and most potent medicine is prescribed,
how can the disease be cured?

Christ openly said: "And if any man hear my words and believe not, I
judge him not; for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words hath one that
judgeth him: the words that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in
the last day." (John 12:47-48).
THE CONSEQUENCES FOR THOSE WHO DISOBEY HIS VOICE ARE
TERRIBLE. THIS IS THE TIME FOR ALL THE WANDERERS TO RETURN
HOME. The world has derailed from the path of rectitude and God
wants all to return to Him now. He made it clear that he came not to
judge the world, but to save it. All His injunctions are in our own
interest. For instance we are warned to refrain from stealing,
fornication, adultery, hatred and malice, all these are aimed at uniting
us with God. The condition under which man finds himself is a direct
repercussion of his transgression. You should discard every mundane
teaching and practice God's injunctions. Do not get involved in idolatry
and the worship of graven images.

Peace and unity have eluded the entire world in various governments
and church denominations. Families, communities and nations are at
daggers drawn and their problems are endless. The only source of
peace, unity and prosperity is God. All the political and economic
problems faced by the world today can never be solved by human
imagination and wisdom.

Resources meant to be used in developing local governments, states

and nations are diverted to private coffers. Only a few individuals and
their immediate families benefit from such public funds. The more the
number of states and local governments the greater the dimension of
the problem faced by the people.

THERE ARE CASES OF EMBEZZLEMENT OF PUBLIC FUNDS ALL OVER

THE WORLD. PUBLIC OFFICERS ARE LOOTING THEIR REGIONAL
TREASURIES. IN SPITE OF THE HUGE REVENUES RECEIVED FROM
THE SALE OF NATURAL RESOURCES, NOTHING POSITIVELY IS DONE
TO ALLEVIATE THE SUFFERING OF THE ORDINARY CITIZEN BECAUSE
OF MAL-ADMINISTRATION AND DISHONESTY. THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC
CONDITION OF THE PEOPLE IS FAR FROM BEING IMPROVED. THE
REASON IS THAT NO PERSON OR GOVERNMENT AGENT SEEKS AFTER
LOVE AND DEDICATION BUT AFTER SELFISH INTEREST.

The proliferation of states and local governments, as witnessed in

Nigeria for instance, has not helped matters. Instead, the exercise has
brought about numerous problems and hardships. This is so because
the problem of Nigeria has nothing to do with the creation of more
states and local governments. All the nations of the world are suffering
from similar problems despite spirited efforts aimed at mass
production of different products. TELL THE WORLD TO REFRAIN FROM
SINS AND TURN THEIR HEARTS TO GOD FOR IMMEDIATE SOLUTIONS
TO THE PERENNIAL HARDSHIP AND GLOBAL ECONOMIC CRUNCH.

The quantity of mineral deposits beneath the earth is inexhaustible;

but since they did not bring about our problems, they can neither
provide solutions to them. We have all denied God and deserted Him,
therefore, in order to direct our attention to Him, He has bound us
hands and legs. THE ONLY SOLUTION NOW IS FOR US TO GO TO HIM
ON BENDED KNEES FOR REPENTANCE OF OUR SINS. AS A MERCIFUL
FATHER, HE WILL SAVE US AND TAKE AWAY OUR PROBLEMS. HE IS
THE KING OF PEACE, THE FATHER OF LOVE AND LIFE, THE
GREATEST TEACHER AND THE FOUNTAIN OF MERCIES. SINCE GOD IS
MERCIFUL, LET US ALL KNEEL BEFORE HIS FEET AND HE WILL HAVE
MERCY UPON US.

This is not the time for anyone to boast about anything. Whether you
are a white man or a black man, rich or poor, do not boast about your
position and do not weep because of your condition either, but turn
your mind to your Creator for salvation. Of what importance is your
status as a white man or a black man? What do you gain from the
riches of the world without gaining eternal life? What do you lose if you
gain eternal life without the riches of the world? You claim to have
immense power and wisdom, and to have founded a certain church
denomination. The question is, what added advantage has that brought
to you over the other person?

VIOLENCE BEGETS VIOLENCE

If you claim to be the president of a country with immense powers, the

question is, of what benefit has that been to you as regards your
salvation? Or have your powers and status enhanced the betterment of
the people's predicaments?

Have you not used your position to oppress and defraud the people?
You loot public treasury, embarking on white elephant projects with
little or no economic value, just to boost your ego. You assume the
mantle of leadership through bloodshed, systematically eliminating
your opponents in order to consolidate your bloody reign. Who amongst
the leaders of the world has not spilled blood in one way or the other
in order to rule? What solutions have the violent changes brought to
the welfare of the people?

When Peter severed the ear of the high priest's servant, Our Lord
Jesus Christ told him to put his sword into its place, for, those who
took up the sword would die by it. (Matthew 26:52) This explains why
one person is killed by another and the chain of killings continues
unabated. God has enjoined man to refrain from killing, stealing, and
other atrocious acts; for whatever a man sows, same shall he reap.
(Galatians 6:7) In other words, whatever you do to your fellow man,
same shall be done to you in return.

This is not the time for anyone to seek for a husband, wife, children,
wealth or anything mundane for such things are worthless and
unprofitable. THIS IS THE RIGHT TIME TO SEEK FOR JEHOVAH GOD
AND HIS CHRIST NOW ON EARTH IN ORDER THAT PEACE AND
PROSPERITY WILL REIGN IN THE ENTIRE WORLD. That is the only
source of our salvation. Read the second lesson once again.

SECOND LESSON: MATTHEW 11:28

"Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you
rest."

THE MOST HIGH IS AWARE OF THE SITUATION IN THE WORLD

Why do you not listen to the King of peace and the God of love and be
saved? It does not cost you money or anything to turn to God and have
eternal life. Does it not occur to you that He is perfectly aware of all
the things going on in the world? He has not asked you the nature of
your problems but He has solutions to them. He wants all those who
labor and are heavy laden to come to Him and obtain rest. Therefore
whatever your predicament, come to Him for He will give you rest.
The whites are thinking of disarmament. They want to put a stop to
the production and sale of deadly weapons because of their long
lasting effects. But have they? Stealing, idolatry, among other vices
are part of the most destructive weapons to mankind. These are the
very things man must first of all stop in order to obtain peace and rest.
It is high time we returned to our Creator and Master. Until we practise
the teaching of Our Lord Jesus Christ, i.e. LOVE ONE ANOTHER, our
problems will persist.

IT WOULD NOT HAVE COST THE PEOPLE ANYTHING TO ELECT THEIR

LEADERS INTO VARIOUS PUBLIC OFFICES, IF THEY HAD ALLOWED
THE LOVE OF GOD TO PREVAIL. It is because of man's deceitful
tendencies and selfish motive that people have to contest for political
offices and would do everything possible to win. If your intention is
genuine, why must you force the very people you want to serve to vote
you into power? If the people had lived in love and with the fear God,
they would have elected a candidate of their choice, a worthy and
popular person to pilot their affairs with the love of God.

WHAT GOOD THING CAN A PRESIDENT, A GOVERNOR, OR A

LEGISLATOR WITHOUT THE FEAR OF GOD DO? Any administration run
and sustained by the force of arms can never address itself to the
problems of the people. Cases of armed robbery attacks persists in
spite of executions by firing squad to deter the bandits. The whole
world has turned away from God. BUT THIS IS THE TIME FOR
MANKIND TO RETRACE HIS STEPS AND SEEK AFTER HIS CREATOR
GOD AND HE WILL HAVE REAL PEACE AND PROSPERITY. IT IS
WRITTEN IN THE PSALMS: "EXCEPT THE LORD BUILD THE HOUSE
THEY LABOR IN VAIN THAT BUILD IT; EXCEPT THE LORD KEEP THE
CITY THE WATCHMAN WATCHETH BUT IN VAIN." (Psalm 127:1)
You should always note the above quoted verse from the scripture. Do
not waste your time in watching and building anything for yourself
because it is only God who can watch and build a nation. Are you sure
that it is God who has mandated you to keep watch or build or conduct
elections? Can you see why you fail? In 1979, Nigeria spent a fortune
to restore democracy. Ironically, the whole exercise was brought to
naught and all the resources wasted because only thieves were
elected into various offices. Right now the march to the third Republic
is on and you find that two brothers are fighting over one position or
the other. Each of them is ready to go to any length to prevent the
other from winning. What really is the cause of this? What good thing
could be derived from such hooligans when they finally take up the
mantle of leadership? UNTIL THE WORLD FINALLY REALIZES THAT IT
IS LOVE ALONE THAT REIGNS AND THAT WHOEVER POSSESSES IT
NEEDS NOT CAMPAIGN FOR ANY POSITION TO BE ELECTED, THE
PRESENT TREND OF EVENTS WILL PERSIST.

THE HOLY SPIRIT IS IN THE WORLD BUT THE INHABITANTS OF THE

WORLD DO NOT KNOW HIM. WHETHER THE WORLD KNOWS HIM OR
NOT, THIS IS THE REIGN OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. In short, God's
government has fully started. In order to be on the safe side, it is
expedient that the world leaders should peacefully surrender the
rulership and governance to the owner now. IF YOU RECOGNISE YOUR
GOD AND CLING TO HIM, ALL WILL BE WELL WITH YOU BECAUSE HE
IS TRUTH AND LIFE.

THE WORLD CONTINUES TO GAZE INTO THE SKY, EXPECTING OUR

LORD JESUS CHRIST TO DESCEND; WHEREAS HE HAS FOR LONG SET
UP HIS DIVINE ADMINISTRATION. HE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH
KILLING, IDOLATRY, DIVISION, AND ANYTHING SINFUL. THE ONLY
THING THAT REIGNS IN GOD'S KINGDOM IS LOVE.

A pertinent question is asked in the scripture: "For what shall it profit

a man if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his soul?" (Mark 8:36).

THE WORLD IS IN A STATE OF SQUALOR

The trend of events in the world as a result of the rush-rush attitude of

people is amazing. There is much cheating, squandering of money, and
looting of public funds. The people are exposed to a state of
hopelessness and squalor. Now the situation is that of survival of the
fittest. People these days violate natural laws with impunity to get
their way. Now is the time for man to stop these wicked activities and
return to God for salvation. This is not the time to cheat, oppress or
kill others. God is the owner of everything, including man himself.
If we desire power, love and truth, we should seek after God, for in
God there is no lie, no deceit, no oppression. If you receive bribe to
elect a particular candidate into an office, do you not think that such a
person would want to recover and defray all his expenses before
thinking of the general interest of the masses? It is in view of this
situation that many politicians regard politics as investment and not
as service to humanity.

MANY WORLD LEADERS LOOT PUBLIC TREASURY AND KEEP

WHATEVER THEY STEAL IN FOREIGN BANKS. WHEN SUCH LEADERS
EVENTUALLY DIE, THE MONEY IS SUDDENLY FROZEN AND TAKEN
OVER BY THE FOREIGN GOVERNMENT, YET THEIR PEOPLE SUFFER
AT HOME. EXCEPT WE ARE TRULY REPENTANT AND GO BACK TO
GOD, PROBLEMS ON EARTH WILL CONTINUE ENDLESSLY.

CHRIST HAS THEREFORE CALLED ON ALL THE INHABITANTS OF THE

WORLD, ALL THOSE WHO LABOR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN TO COME
TO HIM AND HAVE REST. HE HAS TAKEN OVER THE CONTROL OF
EVERYTHING THAT CAUSES MAN TO BE PROUD AND DISOBEDIENT.
EXCEPT MAN RETURNS TO HIS CREATOR, MAN WILL CONTINUE TO
BE IN TROUBLE AND IN CHAINS. WE ARE ALL NAKED BEFORE GOD.

THIS GOSPEL WITH ITS REVELATION IS BEING GIVEN SO THAT THE

ENTIRE INHABITANTS OF THE WORLD CAN BE DULY INFORMED OF
THE IMPENDING DOOM. A CITY WITHOUT A PROPHET IS RUINED, AND
THAT IS THE MORE REASON THIS GOSPEL SHOULD BE
DISSEMINATED THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. I HAVE BEEN WAITING
ALL THIS WHILE TO HEAR WHO WILL COME OUT WITH THE REAL
SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEMS PLAGUING THE WORLD. NO ONE HAS
COME UP EVER SINCE AND NOW I AM MAKING THIS DECLARATION TO
THE WHOLE WORLD THAT THEY SHOULD RETURN TO GOD IF THEY
DESIRE PEACE AND PROSPERITY.

All the afflictions that plague all mankind are brought about by His
angels. The ants, the mosquitoes, flies, rain, sun, lightening, thunder,
earthquake, drought, fire, and so on are all God's angels and
messengers. God can use these things to inflict disease, pain,
sickness, starvation, and death upon the earth, if mankind offends
Him. All the political, economic, social and religious problems that
afflict the world are products of man's disobedience to God.

THE WORLD SHOULD HAVE NOW GROWN TO A STAGE WHERE IT

SHOULD BE PROBLEM-FREE. MAN SHOULD NOW BE SPEAKING
DIRECTLY WITH HIS CREATOR AND ENJOYING HIS GOODNESS. HE IS
READY TO SHOW HIS ABUNDANT MERCIES AND LOVE TO MANKIND.
HE IS PEACE, TRUTH, LOVE, PATIENCE AND ALL THE GOOD VIRTUES
YOU CAN THINK OF. HE RULES THE WORLD WITH HIS VIRTUES. GO
TO HIM WITH YOUR PROBLEMS AND HE WILL SURELY ANSWER YOU.
WE HAVE ONLY ONE SHEPHERD AND AS A MATTER OF NECESSITY,
THERE WILL BE ONLY ONE FLOCK.

TESTIMONIES ARE GIVEN BY VARIOUS PEOPLE ABOUT THE

POWER IN BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR TO
SOLVE ANY FORM OF PROBLEM.
THOSE WHO READ THIS GOSPEL AND RECEIVE BAPTISM INTO
BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR WILL HAVE THEIR
PROBLEMS SOLVED.
The soothsayers, witch doctors, physicians and similar people are
quite aware of the fact there is no more power in their arts. Their
source of power had for long been completely cut off. The robbers, the
deceivers, the governments, the murderers are now rendered
powerless. People keep on consulting them out of ignorance and fear.
This is the time for everyone to help himself.

GOD ABHORS COUP D'ETAT

Within a short period of time which the Nigerian government has not
been toppled, have you not noticed a remarkable change in the
country? Frequent and abrupt changes of governments contribute to
the woes of many countries. It is the Holy Spirit that causes all the
things on earth, including activities during the present military regime
in Nigeria.

The Biblical Prodigal Son returned to his father empty handed. On his
arrival, his father did not reject him but received him warmly. He
ordered his servants to slaughter the fatted calf to celebrate his
return. He was clad in new and expensive clothes. Everything suddenly
changed for him. That is exactly what God expects everybody to do.
He is ready to receive us anytime we turn a new leaf.

OFTEN PEOPLE WOULD SAY, THIS IS NOTHING TO WHICH WE

SHOULD CALL THE NAME OF GOD; IT IS NO GOD'S BUSINESS. IF IT IS
NOT GOD'S BUSINESS, WHOSE IS IT? FOR NOW, THE HOLY SPIRIT
TAKES DOMINION OVER EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD. WHETHER YOU
ARE A JEW, A PHARISEE, GENTILE, SADDUCEE, GREEK, NIGERIAN,
BRITISH, WHATEVER YOU ARE, YOU ARE OWNED BY GOD. GOD DOES
NOT DISCRIMINATE, HE GIVES EQUAL TREATMENT TO ALL.

THE CASE OF SODOM AND GOMORRAH

Before the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, God warned them: "To
what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? said the
Lord: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts;
and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs or of he goats.
When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your
hand, to tread my court? Bring me no more vain oblations; INCENSE IS
AN ABOMINATION UNTO ME; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling
of assemblies, I cannot, away with. It is iniquity even the solemn
meeting. Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth:
they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them. And when ye
spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you; yea, when ye
make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood. Wash
ye, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine
eyes: cease to do evil, learn to do well; seek judgement, relieve the
oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. Come now, and
let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet,
they shall be white as snow; though they be red as crimson, they shall
be as wool. If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the
land." (Isaiah 1:11-19). On the other hand he further warned:"But if ye
refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of
the Lord hath spoken it." (Isaiah 1:20). If Sodom and Gomorrah had
accepted God's condition and gone to Him, they would not have
perished.
Our Lord Jesus Christ gave an assurance before His ascension: "He
that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not
shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; in my
name they shall cast out devils; and they shall speak with new
tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly
it shall not hurt them. They shall lay hands on the sick and they shall
recover." (Mark 16:16-18). What then does it cost you to get out of
bondage and go back to God? What would you lose?

Many people who have baptized into this kingdom have testified of
good luck and fortunes upon baptism. A certain brother who was a
beneficiary of such sudden change was so surprised that he decided to
investigate Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, its origin and activities,
right from Biakpan to Calabar, its headquarters, and finding no foul
play or anything incriminating, he left and shouted for joy. Therefore,
brethren, God does not charge you any fee to come to Him. He rather
flings the gate of His mercies wide open for all those who accept Him
and repent, to pass through.
PREACH THIS GOSPEL TO THE ENTIRE WORLD AND TO THE
UNBELIEVERS, TELL THE SO-CALLED WORLD POWERS TO DISENGAGE
FROM THE PRODUCTION OF ARMS AND FOLLOW GOD, THAT, THIS IS
THE ERA OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND HE HAS COME TO REIGN
FOREVER. THEREFORE, THEY SHOULD GIVE PEACE A CHANCE TO
PREVAIL. Read the Golden Text once again.

GOLDEN TEXT: ROMANS 10:12-13

For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: For the
same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever
shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

THE OWNER OF THE VINEYARD HAS COME

GOD IS NOT FOR ANY SPECIFIC GROUP OF PEOPLE OR NATION; HE IS

FOR ALL. THE SAME GOD IS FOR THE BLACKS, THE WHITES, MEN,
WOMEN, YOUNG, OLD, WEAK, STRONG, RICH AND POOR. HE IS GOD
OF ALL AND IS EVER READY TO HELP THOSE WHO CALL UPON HIM.
EVENTS AROUND THE WORLD AND EVEN HERE IN BROTHERHOOD
POINT TO THE FACT THAT GOD IS HERE ON EARTH. ALL THESE
THINGS PROVIDE ENOUGH EVIDENCE FOR YOU TO GO INTO THE
WORLD TO TELL THE PEOPLE THAT THE OWNER OF THE WORLD IS
HERE.

Brotherhood of the Cross and Star does not approve idolatry,

medication of any kind, nor membership of any secret society and the
rest of the vices. This is because we are well fortified.

A TESTIMONY

A brother from Adoni once testified at 34 Ambo Street, Calabar that he

suffered from tuberculosis for twelve years and he was vomiting blood.
After going round the world in search of remedy, he was finally brought
34 Ambo Street in 1975. That as soon as the Father placed His hands
on his head, he fully recovered. Since then he is hale and hearty. Not
only this but also, this brother became very rich. He built a beautiful
storey building and had so much wealth that the people in his
community doubted his source of wealth. Two people who rose against
him as a result of his God given wealth became mentally deranged in
the course of their diabolical investigation. Others who were against
Him finally came back to plead for forgiveness when they found that
they could not destroy him. They told him that they did not know that
his wealth was from his God.

But about forty necromancers who had also attempted to do away with
this brother came to him and asked him to leave the community
because they could not contain the power of Olumba Olumba Obu.
According to this brother, he rebuffed these evil men and even went
out to the village square to announce to the whole community that all
powers from witchdoctors have been rendered useless and powerless.
THAT THE ONLY SOLUTION TO MAN NOW IS TO TURN TO THE LIVING
GOD WHO IS NOW ON EARTH.
AS A RESULT OF THE OVERWHELMING POWER OF THE HOLY FATHER,
THE FORTY NECROMANCERS HAVE NOW BAPTISED INTO
BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR AND ALL THEIR CHARMS
AND AMULETS BURNT TO ASHES. SO YOU SHOULD GO INTO THE
WHOLE WORLD AND INFORM THE PEOPLE TO RUN AWAY FROM THEIR
FORMER WAYS AND TURN TO GOD FOR SALVATION.

WHOEVER PERSECUTES A MEMBER OF BROTHERHOOD OF THE

CROSS AND STAR CAN NEVER GO SCOT FREE. EVEN IF A WHOLE
COMMUNITY SHOULD RISE AGAINST YOU THE FATHER SHALL
OVERCOME THEM FOR YOU. Tell the world to flee from evil and every
form of unrighteousness and follow God, for as He did to the Israelites
so shall He do to the Gentiles in this generation.

FOR BROTHERHOOD MEMBERS ONLY

*APART FROM MEMBERS OF BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND
STAR, NO OTHER PEOPLE ARE COMMISSIONED AND EMPOWERED TO
CARRY THIS DIVINE MESSAGE TO THE WORLD. YOU ARE HEREBY
ASKED TO COME TO GOD AND HE WILL SURELY FORGIVE YOU. ONCE
YOU SURRENDER YOUR BODY AND SOUL TO HIM, HE WILL BLESS
YOU AND PROTECT YOU.

DO NOT PREACH TO THE PEOPLE THAT THEY SHOULD COME TO

BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR. TELL THEM TO FLEE FROM
UNRIGHTEOUSNESS AND GO TO GOD WITH PENITENT HEARTS FOR
HE WILL WIPE AWAY THEIR TEARS AND GIVE THEM REST.

A stroke of the cane is enough for the wise. May God bless His Holy
words. Amen.

Thank you Holy Father.
