THE UNIQUE TEACHINGS OF CHRIST

First Bible Lesson: Matthew 7:12

"Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets."

Second Bible Lesson: Luke 16:12

"And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?"

Golden Text: Matthew 20:26-27

"But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant."

The Faithful Service

The above passages are the true teachings of Our Lord Jesus Christ. The whole world has derailed from the path of rectitude. Yet they feel they are practicing the gospel of Jesus the Christ. If they are practicing the gospel of Christ, could they not recognize the presence of the Holy Spirit now on earth? You have read that our Lord Jesus Christ spoke in parables. (Matt 13:34-35). It was in this manner that He bore eloquent testimony about the Holy Spirit when He said, "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." (John 14:26). This Comforter which Our Lord Jesus Christ spoke about has come but the world neither see nor receive Him.

The teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ are unique. The first and second lessons above are all for equal rights, justice and fair-play, while the golden text calls for humility. These are also the very teachings which I have brought to the entire world, but people have rejected. There is no other way to salvation except you practice these teachings. If you wish that someone be truthful to you, you must first of all be truthful to the person. If you want anybody to love you, you have to do same to such a person. If you want people to take you as a truthful person, you have to start believing in others. If you want anybody to respect you, respect not only him, but every other person. If you want another person to humble himself, you have to be humble. If you want your children to hearken to your advice, you also have to listen to their suggestions and advice. If you want your children to respect you, you have to cater for them first. If you do not want to be blasphemed against, guard against using blasphemous or evil words about people. If you do not want someone to criticize you for what you do, you also must not criticize another person. Whatever anybody does, accept it as being perfect; do not criticize. If you do not want to be deceived by anybody, do not deceive another.

Up till now, a lot of people do not know why Our Lord Jesus Christ is being worshipped all over the world. What gave Him that credence was His truth, love, simplicity, humility and other virtues which He exhibited. He humbled Himself to the extent of washing the disciples' feet and serving them food. (Read John 13:5 and Matthew 26:26, respectively). These are the things which Our Lord Jesus Christ desired to be done unto Him. That was why He first did them to the people.

No human being has taken over His good works, since His resurrection. This is because, none has practiced His teachings. Those who go about professing that they cannot honor or serve a human being do not know that whatever one does to another is what will be done to him. Over the years, thieves for instance, have been killed by various ways-firing squad, burnt, etc. The question now is, have these methods made man to submit to the rules and regulations of man? If you are a king or a chief of a community, whatever you want your subjects to do to you, do it first to them. If you fail to do so, they will never pay you such royalties. No matter how you swell up or quarrel with them, nobody will listen to you, if you had not been listening, listen to others as from now.

If Israel had hearkened and practiced the teachings of Our Lord Jesus Christ, they would have been ruling the world by now. They would not have had all these wars and troubles. If the Greeks had practiced His teachings, they would have saved the world. If the Romans had practiced the teachings of Our Lord Jesus Christ, they would have ruled the whole world. If Great Britain, had hearkened and practiced His teachings, they too, would have ruled the world. Upon all the struggles of Britain, they cannot rule the world. Despite the technological and scientific advancement of the United States of America, they cannot rule the world.

If these countries had practiced a little of His teachings, they would have ruled the entire universe. Their failures go in conjunction with the teachings of Our Lord Jesus Christ which are based on the policies of equal rights, justice and humility. It is for this reason that I enjoined the Christ's Students when I enrolled them into Studentship, that they should strive to minister unto others and not to be ministered unto.

You all know that these things are what I observe daily. I serve others instead of being served by them. That is what I came to this world to do, which you have rejected and refused to emulate. For this reason, no one, not even your children, hearken to your instructions. I humble myself, even before women and children and serve them; a job which I will do for eternity.

If you conclude that you would not fear or respect anybody, know that flies, ants and mosquitoes will neither fear nor respect you. They will attack you at will and keep you uncomfortable. Therefore, whatever you swear never to do to others, know that such cannot be done to you in all your generations.

The Law of Retribution

The entire world is in utter confusion because they have rejected the instructions of God; misunderstanding them to be that of man. All human beings have vowed never to respect, honour, or fear any man. For this reason, the law of retribution catches up with them; thus, the suffering and confusion in the world.

Upon all the teachings I give to members of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, none is ready to practice them. Though I have made it clear that you are all of the same Father, yet you cannot live in harmony because you had sworn never to obey any other person. You declared that you will only look at the Father and not at any member. Now that you are only looking at the Holy Father, have you done what He directs? The Father had instructed that whatever you wish another person to do to you, do the same first to the one. Have you done it? Let it be known that looking unto the Father is one thing, but practicing His injunctions is another and it is the greatest.

The worldly people always believe that members of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star are being hypnotized by me. Others say that I must have been giving something to the members to keep them close to me. This type of glory, as beheld in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star had never been seen or enjoyed anywhere on the earthly plane. There is no other kingdom in the world to be compared to this new kingdom (B.C.S.). Let it be known, henceforth that members of Brotherhood of the Cross of Star are close to me because of the recondite wisdom which they derive from me. Now, the teaching is based on the law of retribution, i.e. whatever you want others to do unto you, do it first to others. If you want love, gifts, care, truthfulness, kindness, admiration or any other thing from somebody, do same first to another person. That is the secret in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star and the real teaching of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Whatever you do, endeavour to disseminate this teaching to the world.

This teaching is the only remedy to the whole world; for, if each person starts to love, and enslaves himself to serve another, the whole world will be in peace. If each person starts to practice truthfulness towards another, then the entire Universe will be filled with truth, peace and harmony. This is the law and the prophets, without which no one can inherit the kingdom of God.

You must have read the testimony from Sokoto where so many people wished to see the Emir. And so, they sent letters to him, yet they were not invited in. However, when the Brotherhood members sent a copy of the Father's sermon to the Emir, he quickly invited them in. The reason being that they had recognized the authority of the Emir by sending him a copy of my sermon. Therefore, recognizing his authority, he also recognized their presence. This is the law, that whatever you want another person to do you must first set the example. Second Thessalonians 3:8 warns that no one should eat another's food for nought. I also enjoin that no one should feed a lazy person. In other words, if any person would not serve others, let him not be served. If anyone would not do anything for another, he is not worthy of any benevolence. You want God to give you money and wealth. What have you done for God? Give to God, and try Him whether He will not surprise you with so much riches than you ever imagined.

You pray that the Almighty God should glorify you. Have you glorified His Holy name? If you have not given glory to His Holy name, how can you expect Him to do same to you? Recall what our Lord Jesus Christ said in John 17:4-5, "I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was."

In the entire universe, nobody had done or is ready to do anything to God. How then do you expect such services as you have not rendered to God, be given to you? None, not even one human being in the world is doing the will of God. Upon all the requests you put before God, what have you done to God, that He will, for the sake of such good works grant your requests? To continue shouting Jesus, Jesus, as though He was deaf cannot save you. Your songs, dances, prayers, fasting or missionary work cannot give you what you want, except you practice this sermon. Read the first lesson again.

First Bible Lesson: Matthew 7:12

"Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets."

Reaping What You Sowed

If someone borrows something from you and by sheer misplacement, the thing got lost, if you ask for a replacement of that thing, you are lost. The fact remains that if by mistake you spoil another person's property, he will ask you to replace such a thing, no matter how earnestly you may plead in the name of Jesus. Do you know why he will be hardened when you are using the name of Jesus the Christ? It is to pay for your hard-heartedness against the other person through whom your property got lost. This is the law of nature which in some degree is referred to as karma, and also the law of the prophets.

I do not boast in any other thing but in the practice of the words of God. The world boasts in things like wealth, money and positions; yet, they suffer and encounter problems. The words of God connote love and righteousness. A cow cannot breed a goat or a sheep. It only brings forth the calf. This is the meaning of the saying that, "...whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." (Galatians 6:7).

This was the Word of God in action. Now, I want all of you to practice this sermon; for if you stay here without practicing any sermon, you will then be likened to those who continue to learn without getting to the wisdom of truth. (2 Timothy 3:7). This is the only way that can lead you to the kingdom of God.

Many people have the feeling that the teachings of Our Lord Jesus Christ and that of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star are different and thus, have different notions. For this reason, they regard Brotherhood of the Cross and Star as an anti-Christ organization. If the entire world had practiced my teachings, death, poverty, sickness and sufferings would not overwhelm the world.

Read Malachi 3:8-10: Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

Every person has to bear his own burden. (Gal 6:5). If you fail to pay tithes, you cannot receive blessings accruing from tithe payment, no matter how much you may plead. A lot of people when they are employed in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star establishment, do not work whole-heartedly; for they claim that it is the Father's work. They do eye-service as though they are working for man. Those who do not put effort in the work will always go empty-handed. Remember, if you refuse to be faithful with that which belongs to another, who will give you that which is your own? (Luke 16:12). A trickster is not a man of wisdom, for tricks get someone disillusioned.

In many parts of the Western world, people have started practicing the teachings of Our Lord Jesus Christ. This is the teaching going on in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, which must be practiced whole-heartedly in this kingdom. We do not encourage contributions in this fold, for each individual should do what he expects from others. If all the things you pray God to give to you are granted, where will you take them? Have you ever done such things to others? Let not your boast or hope be on any person, but rather, let it be on what you can do to others. Do not criticize whatever another person does, no matter how bad or crooked it may be. If you keep to this instruction, nobody can ever criticize what you do. It is not the very person you will be benevolent to that will reward you. You may help someone here in Calabar with a little thing, but some other person from London will do even greater things to you.

If someone needs one thousands naira to solve his problem, and you give him the money, another person can give you one hundred thousand naira from some other parts of the world. This is in reciprocation of the good gesture you showed to the first person. It goes in accordance with the words and promise of God. You who plan to involve yourself in charms, amulets and concoctions for good luck in business and amassing money and wealth, know hence-forth that you are wasting your whole time and energy. The real source of all these things is the instruction given in this sermon. This sermon will be your source of power and wisdom if you put same into practice. Read the second lesson again.

Second Bible Lesson: Luke 16:12

"And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?"

Faithfulness: The Source of Goodness

What you have read about is the real truth; for once you are faithful in that which belongs to another person, you must be given yours. There is no medicine or charm about it. The main problem of the world today is that no person is ready to serve another. There are many people who have this wisdom but cannot apply it in the sense the Holy Spirit has stipulated. Those that are given to rule the heavens, earth and the fullness thereof are those who will practice the instructions as contained in this sermon.

Illustration

There was a woman who was sharing a husband with another woman. At a time, her husband stopped catering for her and for that reason, problems ensued. There were incessant quarrels and fights in their house. Since the husband could not do any good thing for her, she too refused to do good things to the man. As two of them could not practice the law of the prophets, they had neither progress nor peace. They accused each other of irresponsibility. None of them could accept that the other is good. So, on a certain day, the woman decided to visit a witch-doctor for a love charm. She intended to use this charm on her husband so that he would love and do good to her. After her explanation, the witch-doctor gave her a particular charm but kept some with him, and some were given to the woman. He instructed the woman to drop a little of the charm into the husband's food and await the result. He further instructed her that the effectiveness of the charm is controlled by certain laws. He enumerated these laws to include: washing of the husband's clothes, preparing his meals, visiting his parents and keeping him generally comfortable. She was also warned against getting annoyed, no matter her experiences with the husband and the other wife.

The man further instructed the woman that, unless she abides by the said instructions, the charm cannot work effectively. The woman accepted the conditions and started practicing them. She made sure that her husband's meals were served on time. She washed and pressed his clothes, polished his shoes and made adequate arrangements to see to the cleanliness of his car. In fact, she exhibited love in its entirely. On seeing this, the husband was dumb-founded but happy. He, therefore, bought her a sewing machine. At times, she went to the parents-in-law and helped in the house chores. When they noticed her gradual changes they reported it to their son who was more joyful. He bought her a new Raleigh bicycle. When she got this bicycle, she went to the herbalist to settle her bill. But the man instead told her to keep her money until everything is fulfilled. She joyously returned home and saw an iron box (cabin trunk) for her. Her joy knew no bounds, and she did everything to let the husband realize how happy she was. Their house automatically changed from a war front to a peaceful home. Then she decided to go back to the herbalist and pay her debt. As she was discussing with the man, he went into the house and brought out a supposed medicine. On close examination, the woman discovered it to be a half lump of sugar. It was at this point that the herbalist told her that he prepared no charm for her. He further revealed to her that the problems she encountered with the husband were as a result of her bad behavior. He made her know that her good attitudes will always guarantee her happiness in the house. Finally, she was made to understand that it was the man's advice that gave her the peace she ever needed.

This story should serve as a lesson to those insisting on retaliation. Henceforth, let it be known that whatever you do to another will be done unto you. There is no charm for love, wealth, power, beauty, joy, luck, etc, except being truthful and faithful to another.

This is the power of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star and it is what I have been practicing from birth. Whoever is truthful and faithful to another will always be blessed.

If you cheat on a person, you will always be cheated. If you lie to another, you will always be lied to. If you hate, you will be hated. Whatever you do to another will come to you as a boomerang. This is the cause of many divorces, retrenchments and poverty. These things are instigated by God Himself so that the dishonest ones will realize their faults. The tenet of Brother-hood of the Cross and Star is to be faithful and truthful in that which belongs to another. It is only through this way that yours may be given to you.

Golden Text: Matthew 20:26-27

"But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant."

The Governing Principle:

The above passage should serve as the governing principle of this kingdom. It is on this principle that Brotherhood of the Cross and Star operates. It may interest you to note that Brother-hood of the Cross and Star came to serve and not be served. She came to teach, by practice, such virtues as, humility, meekness, love, righteousness, tolerance, mercy, endurance, goodness, forgiveness, service to all creations of God among others.

It is said: "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." (Matt 6:36). If you want God to help you, you have to serve Him with all your might and wisdom. Before the physical birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ in Bethlehem, for instance, He was ruling as a King with the Father, yet, He left all His Kingship position and enslaved Himself for us and died for us. The whole world must of a necessity, worship Him. It is not surprising that the whole world is under Him today. There is none like Him in the entire world, even among His disciples. Till today, no one has been able to practice His teachings in the entire universe.

All churches use knives and guns to fight what they so christened "holy war"; and profess to be serving Christ. All religions apply force and all types of weapons to propagate their beliefs, yet, they claim to be serving God. This is not what the Almighty God had instructed mankind through Our Lord Jesus Christ. You may recall, when Peter drew a sword and cut off the ear of one of the soldiers who went to arrest Our Lord Jesus Christ, He said; "Put up again thy sword into its place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. (Matthew 26:52). Our Lord Jesus Christ was very much aware that whosoever kills must also be killed. This goes a long way to confirm that whatever a man sows, so shall he reap. (Galatians 6:7). It is said that a house divided against itself cannot stand. (Mark 3:25). Now that Christian churches are proliferated and are at logger-heads with each other, can they ever stand? No one religion is agreeing with the other. They all claim to be superior to the rest, no matter how dogmatic and fallacious their teachings may be. That is why the Father has brought this avenue (sermon) to salvation. Do unto others what you wish others to do unto you. Do not criticize or condemn any person, for that is not the injunction of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

As you impute sins on your brethren and suspend them from the church, do you not know that you are suspending yourself from the presence of God? When you send someone away from the community, church or any other society, do you not realize that you have sent yourselves away from the presence of God? The hard methods applied by the worldly people in checking crimes and immoralities are all wrong. Beating, punishing, imprisoning and killing criminals are not the teachings of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and it is not obtainable in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. Here, we are always ready to "enslave" ourselves for others. We use mere kindness, humility, love, tolerance and all virtues of righteousness to correct and convert a sinner. Anyone who wishes to lead must be a servant to others.

Brethren, this is the true teaching of Our Lord Jesus Christ and that of the Almighty God. This is not the time of washing of feet and ordination. Such had passed away. Now, the handiwork of everyone must be judged accordingly.

Do not seek the glory that comes from human beings but that which comes from the Almighty God. You cannot get this glory from God unless you practice His instructions.

May God Bless His Holy Words. Amen.
