LOVE:LAW OF THE NEW KINGDOM

BRETHREN, the texts from the preamble to this sermon. Our goal is to establish the law of the New Kingdom. The words of this covenant, though proclaimed 1,990 years ago, is now renewed for eternity. This is to fulfill the predictions of our Lord Jesus Christ as stated below:

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)

I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when 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' (John 16:12-13).

When He said, "I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now," He referred to this Law which had been written, stamped and sealed for ages. It is now revealed and constitutes part of The Memorandum of Brotherhood of Cross and Star. Those who desire to inherit the kingdom must practise the words of this sermon. It is the route that leads to the new kingdom.

All the pronouncements of God must be fulfilled, whether you believe it or not. Whatever are your problems, difficulties, infirmities or afflictions, such as diabetes, ulcer, appendicitis, cancer or hypertension, I enjoin youto study this sermon with deep concentration and all will be over.

In the secular government, after the passing of new laws at the National Assembly, the law enforcement agents are then empowered to enforce the laws. Similarly, you are the law enforcement agents of this kingdom. You are commissioned to disseminate and enforce this Law throughout the world. There is no other gospel to be preached other than love. So, relay this Unique Sermon to all the inhabitants of the world.

It is erroneous to profess that there are ten commandments. The question is, are there (10)ten Gods or (20) twenty Christs? There is only one Jehovah God and His Christ. His commandment is but one, that is 'Love ye one another as I have loved you'.

Once a king has promulgated a decree, no subject has the right the violate it. You either comply with that order, or you will be declared a rebel. This is the pivot on which revolves the world's problems: the refusal to 'Carry out this injunction of `love ye one another I have loved you'. Also, they show complete defiance of the instructions of God. The inhabitants of the world have been declared'rebels'. Consequently, they are, all suffering. If the inhabitants of the world should turn a new leaf and practise the love of one to another this decadent society will change for good. Desist from seeking other solutions to your problems, rather, cling to the love of one another and all will be well.

Members ignorantly profess that Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is devoid of laws. Be it known to you that, there exist a Law in the kingdom, The Law of 'Love one another'. We also boldly profess that, we are not under any law. Yes, but we are under the law of Christ which bids us to love one another as He loves us.
Our Lord Jesus Christ said.

`I have yet 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'. (John 16:12-13).

This prediction has manifested. Therefore, the law enforcement agents of this kingdom should discharge their functions. The law of the kingdom must be enforced. It is high time, you sought the kingdom of God. The prerequisites are clearly. expressed therein. If I may ask, is the above abstract credited to Leader Olumba Olumba Obu?

We have some spiritual choruses which have the following wordings:

(a) 'The covenant has gone, The covenant of Moses, Love is the new covenant'

(b) 'I have given a new law, live amicably; do not get angry, live amicably.'

These (songs) are confirmed by the Father as He proclaimed: "Live in Love, all sins are forgiven, and troubles are gone; death and sorrows are no more" (Immortal words of Leader Olumba Olumba Obu).

If somebody is ignorant of the fact that he is sick, no diagnosis will be effected and there will be no prescription nor cure. From the days of the fall of Adam, mankind has witnessed very turbulent and difficult times. This situation has defied many solutions. This is so because man has failed to realise the truth. That is, he has not loved one another. He has not realised that he is sick in this perspective, so he seeks no diagnosis, hence no prescription and no cure.

The law of Moses has a negative intent. Consequently, the voice from heaven asked: 'who will go and save the world?' The whole heavens and its hosts were quiet. Then our Lord Jesus Christ opted to come and redeem the world. If He did not come, the world surely would have perished long ago.

The scripture says that, it is expedient for one to observe all the commandments, for if you violate one, you have violated all others.

`For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou are become a transgressor of the law'. (James 2:10-11).

You are told neither to steal, not tell lies; and never to call on the name of God in vain. If you violate any of these commandments, you are guilty of all and due for destruction. Those who violated the commandments of Moses were not pardoned. Accordingly, they received immediate punishment. First Corinthians Chapter Ten Verse Eight to Eleven buttresses this point as it states:

`Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. Neither let us tempt Christ as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of the serpents. Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured and were destroyed of the destroyer. Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world have come'.

If the old testament has not been declared obsolete, there would have been mass destruction as indicated above.

THE OLD TESTAMENT: NEGATIVE INTENT

Moses' sister, Mariam blasphemed against Moses and immediately, she 'became leprous, white as snow' (Numbers 12:10).

`And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle, and behold, Mariam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and behold, she was leprous'.

Also, Michal, King Saul's daughter who despised David, when he danced dexterously to mark the celebration of the recovery of the Ark of Covenant of God was also punished. She became barren (2 Samuel 6:23).

A certain young man, Uzzah who touched the Ark of God in error died instantly (1 Samuel 6:6-7). Accordingly, when you violate the injunction of God, you will be punished. Conversely, if you keep all the commandments as contained in the old testament, it does not guarantee salvation.

Ponder on this statement made by our Lord Jesus Christ:

'Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets, I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill." (Matthew 5:17).

Our Lord Jesus Christ fulfilled and improved the laws of Moses. He further gave a new ordinance that 'ye love one another even as I have loved you,' Hence the LAW OF LOVE was established. You will notice now that punishment for offenses against God is not immediate and grave. This is so because the law of love, as established by Christ brought grace, mercy and salvation to mankind. You now enjoy boundless grace and mercy from God.

THE PROMISED COMFORTER

The Holy Spirit has been personified. His teachings are making tremendous impact, yet the world doubts Him. This set of people do not believe in time as the essence of heavenly events. They should note that, at the appointed time, the will of God will always manifest. He has now established the law of love. This Law of Love was completely unaccepted because it emanated from our Lord Jesus Christ. Christ, whom they hated and crucified. Christ, whom arch-enemies like Herod and Pilate preferred to mend fences in order to pave way for His crucifixion. So, who could have hearkened to Him? He did not even enjoy freedom of movement due to the silly tradition or dichotomy between the Jews and the Gentiles. His disciples were beheaded, tortured and persecuted. So, it was natural to reject, refuse and neglect His law. It is proper that we re-enact this LAW of LOVE now.

HIS SUFFERINGS

Take note of how the Jews dealt with our Lord Jesus Christ. They are cruel, brutal and wicked. In violence, they eliminated His disciples. On the Cross, they crucified Him. This situation would have been applicable to you but for His love. The world is still under the old covenant of 'an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth'. Consequently, sickness, death, sorrow and tribulation lord over the world. The way out of all the world's problems have been ear-marked by the God of heaven and earth. It is none other than the commandment of 'Love One Another as I have loved you'. This constitutes the new covenant. It is the law of our Lord Jesus Christ. The path to the kingdom is thorny but with the advent of the Holy Spirit, the road is smoother.

NEW GOVERNMENT:

The principle of the new government can be compared with the operational pattern of the ranks and files in the Nigerian Police Force. If you steal, you are charged to court. If you receive stolen property, you are also arraigned as an accomplice. If you conceal vital information about crime, you are charged for aiding and abetting crime. So,if you want to be free, you stay off crime.

Similarly, if you want to enjoy your membership of Brotherhood of Cross and Star, you have to practice the love of one another. Before the year 2,000, effect will be given to this law of love.

Do not preach saying, 'Olumba Olumba Obu is this or that', but rather, preach about the love of one another. The Christian and Muslims are all worshipers of God. Tell them about the new law and the kingdom of God; for we are all the children, of God's kingdom. The law of this kingdom as given by our Lord Jesus Christ is 'love ye one another as I have loved you. Disseminate this teaching to churches, especially those who still expect the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Tell them to set aside their sentiments and accept the practical reform introduced by our Lord Jesus Christ several years ago. When they accept and practise the new covenant, illness, poverty, affliction and death, shall be a thing of the past.

I admonish you to look neither left nor right but to rely on this sermon: All Governments of the world shall launch this sermon and all the inhabitants of the world will receive it. The old covenant has gone forever. The concept of love shall be entrenched, into the constitutions of Nations.

The operational clause of the constitution of the New Kingdom, is 'Love ye one another as I have loved you'. You are authorized to unite as one body and entity till eternity. This is the purpose for which He shed His blood. It satisfied the goal and ambition of this law.

The government of this new world is love. The instrument for implementation and execution of governmental functions is love. The newly born child, the academician, the learned, the noble, as well as the Governments shall have a share in this love. The concept of discrimination, for whatever reason, should be done away with. Such claims as: "I am a white, black, Ibo, Yoruba, Ibibio, etc should not arise. Individuality has diminished, in love we dwell. Love bears the following fruits: mercy, humility, patience, peace, meekness, long suffering, temperance and all forms of righteousness.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS:

The ten commandments stand for the ten kings. The ten horns represent ten gods; and the present commandment stands for the Almighty God. Whereas the ten commandments carry stiff penalties, the law of love is pregnant with mercy. In mercy, the glory of God is magnified. The Father is love. The Son is love and the Holy. Spirit is love. With Love, the Triune God has assumed rulership for eternity.

This is the fulfillment of the dream of King Nebuchadnezzar which was interpreted by Prophet Daniel:

`And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed, and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms and it shall stand forever'. (Daniel 2:44).

The king is the Holy Spirit and the Kingdom being Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is established in Love.

ABSENCE OF VICES:

If you practise this sermon, stealing, lying, killing, division, falsehood, fornication, and adultery will have no place in you. Lust, craftiness, gossip will cease to exist. Once we possess this love, there shall be no discrimination between the young and old, stranger and indigene, whites and blacks. If you have this love, the need to sue or prosecute a case will not be necessary. There will be no more cemeteries nor deaths.

GO, TELL THE WORLD:

Expose this recondite knowledge to the Christendom, the Moslims and other religious groups. Teach them the need to adopt the principle of love. Love is the accurate wisdom of truth and has come to re-unite all facets of the world. This love is the source of all knowledge. It shall guide and :teach you all things. Practise the 'content of this sermon and you will have no regret whatsoever.

The penalty for non-compliance with love is spelt out in Revelation 2:4-5.

'Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou bast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent'.

The consequence of love deficiency is further analysed in 1 Corinthians 13:3

'And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.'

Similarly, whatever you may do, if you fail to practice this sermon, it profits you nothing, neither shall you gain entry into the kingdom of God nor will you have eternal life. Henceforth, people should not preach just what they feel rather, all preaching must centre on this topic.

Do you consider it of great importance to pray, preach and heal the sick? These are all secondary to me; love is the greatest. It is said that:

'Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.'(Romans 13:17).

In love, there no sickness, math, poverty, anger, suffering and sorrow, or did you vow to have pace and life? Do you not like the kingdom? However, whether you like it or not, you will be compelled to enter.

Now the laws promulgated by the government are violated anyhow, anyday, everywhere and 'no mouth is bulged'. That is not applicable to the law of Our Lord Jesus Chnst. The law of love (Christ's) shall be accepted and enforced. This shall form the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star code of conduct.

Paul the Apostle said in 1st Corinthians 9:19-22

For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more. And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law; to them that. are without law as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law, to Christ, that I might gain them that are without law. To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.'

Paul's behaviour here was enhanced by love. Love entails a lot of sacrifices and adjustments. You are therefore advised to emulate Paul.

BIOLOGICAL RELATIONSHIP EXPLAINED:

Whether you are a relation of Leader Olumba Olumba Obu, this is immaterial. If you fail to practise the concept of love, you have no share in the kingdom. Your pastoral functions, baptism, Holy Communion, exhortations, songs, prayers and visions will not save you.

For the Pastor, Apostle, Evangelist, Prophet, Deaconess, Christ's Servant or whatever you may call yourself, you are at liberty to maintain your nomenclature. But have a firm grip of love, otherwise, the kingdom shall elude you. See first lesson below:

1ST LESSON: MATTHEW 5:17

Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.'

MEMORANDUM OF THE NEW KINGDOM PART II:

Before I proceed, let us, as, a matter of urgency, consider the details as elaborated by Moses concerning our Lord Jesus Christ: See below — (Acts 3:22-23).

`For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up
unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.'

In the same way, if you do not posses, demonstrate and abide in this love,- you will be eliminated. This is the laid down principle. There are no two ways about it. You need not fast and pray to alter it.

From the beginning, man has lived a very disorganised life; without purpose and direction. The resultant effects of this. reckless behaviour are incessant deaths, poverty, disease, and tribulation. To confirm this fact, Our Lord Jesus Christ made this proclamation.

`All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not hearthem'. (John 10:8)

During His conversation with the Samaritan woman, this dialogue as recorded in St. John 4:25-26 ensued:

`The woman saith unto him, I know that Messiah cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.'

Did this woman believe m our Lord Jesus Christ? The answer is no. Today people turn to feel and behave exactly as was the case in the advent of our Lord Christ. They expected Elijah to be His forerunner, but John came and they disbelieved him. Our Lord Jesus Christ appeared, they treated Him with disrespect, scorn, ignominy and finally killed him. They preferred to drift directionless and purposeless.

In His second advent, this same trend has been repeated.

Let me issue this warming, He will not tolerate this laxity and non-compliance any more.

After your stiff opposition about these, ideas and teachings, after your abysmal persecution and torture of His subjects, you shall be destroyed. A lot of you also took Him for a joke; you trampled upon Him; today, the reverse is the case. Like the Rock of Gibraltar, He has emerged stronger and more reliable than ever before. He is omnipotent, omniscient. He flourishes and lavishes everywhere in the air, the sea and the land. He has taken over the spiritual world completely. Also, your dreams are all about Him.

Take this prediction from me, the angels are at it again. They are circulating, advertising and marketing His name, accomplishments and spiritual powers all over the world. You will be startled again.

I owe this God reasonable respect and complete reverence. He makes various proclamations and these proclamations take effect at the appointed time. Time therefore, is vital to His dealings. Who else in the world can command such authority?

WHAT IS LOVE?:

Love is an independent entity. It is that radiation which generates relief. Who is the master of love, is it Moses or Abraham? The answer is No. It is only our Lord Jesus Christ. He gave a commandment which states as follows:

`This is my commandment, that ye love one another as I have loved you' (John 15:12)

The Father is an embodiment of love. That is why the members of the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star often say boastfully to people: 'Come with me to 34 Ambo Street, Calabar and see for yourself what love looks like' The virtue of love is controlled by the Father. It is not in you, otherwise you would have sold your image not mine. When this invitation is thrown to them, they snob, feel big and pompous. They refuse to visit love, talk less of seeking Him. However, what is the story today? It is different. You do not issue invitation yet, they flock in here day and night. At this juncture therefore,

I urge you to de-emphasize the issue of the deity of the Father while spreading the gospel to people. Preach love and demonstrate same. If you do this, the result shall be fantastic. But if you concentrate on the deity of Leader Olumba Olumba Obu (0.0.0.), the approach is wrong. Spread the good tidings, practise love and be saved. If you adopt this method, you will have no problems.

Surprisingly many people have neglected, refused and rejected this approach. Note that, the Father is capable of revealing His deity to all and sundry if He so wishes.

So many people are complaining here and there, why? After baptism, you ought to be totally liberated. If you witness or experience further difficulties and encumbrances, you will have yourself to blame. Your complaints indicate that you have failed to practise the teachings of Christ. People do, from time to time make open confessions about their past sins. I appreciate their courage and eagerness to live a clean life.

What I notice about this set of people is that, they do not confess about their lack of love, rather, their confession centres on the ten commandments of Moses. The question is, which of these laws are supreme, the Mosaic laws or the Law of Christ? However, it is only necessary that I change the 'gear' due to the timing of events. The time is short, so you have to hurry. You need this love because it is life. You have to practise it, because it is the source of salvation.

Once you practise love, your difficulties are over. It does not require a physical meeting and conversation with the Father. Practise love and you will have no complaints and problems wherever you are. You will neither hunger nor thirst. Everything will be sufficient unto you.

Twenty years ago, I predicated that, a time will come when people will not have access to the Father. You laughed heartily on hearing that. What is the situation now?

The practise of receiving people in the vestry has been discontinued forthwith, following divine instructions from the Most High.

LOVE ABIDES FOREVER:

Love is the universal Judge who has come to separate the sheep from the goats. You have heard that the scripture says:

'Charity never faileth: but whether there are prophecies, they shall fail, whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away'.(1 Corinthians 13:8).

From the above, we deduce that Love is eternal. No matter how fervent you pray, love will never pass away. Some people often say: When Olumba shall die.... I wonder what you will do?' can this Love ever die? Olumba, the embodiment of Love has come to reign forever. Now, this love has been established to reign forever.

I desire all the inhabitants of the world to practise this injunction so that peace, harmony as well as their heart desires and God's glory will be manifested.

LOVE SUPERCEDES THE CONSTITUTION OF NATIONS:

The prayers that you receive and the charms removed from our body does not help you any way. Visions, holy oil or water you rely on cannot help you unless you love one another. If our forefathers had known that the practice of God's injunctions and love is the ultimate source of power, happiness, life and all goodness, they would not have been that bad. However, they could not have had the ability to practise it since it was not written about them. This is because the Holy Spirit was not personified. He is called counselor, comforter and teacher. These are the reference names of the personified Holy Spirit. He comforts, teaches and advises us at all times. He said that He did not come to destroy the law of Moses but to fulfill same. (Matthew 5:17).

The law of love is all embracing and is enough for all creation of God. Human beings, birds, animals, fishes trees and other creatures all share in it. This law of the new age supersedes the constitution of all nations. Love is life power, wealth, joy and wisdom. It contains all the good things you have ever desired.

The old laws and constitutions of nations were disastrous and brought death and afflictions to the people. There is no more division between the Jews and Gentiles. The whole world has been made one by the Holy Spirit through love. This is not surprising, for it was earlier prophesied about. What is taking place in the world now is just a fulfillment of what was prophesied. See below for clarification.

SECOND LESSON: JOHN 13:34
'A new commandment I give unto you. That ye love one another, as I have loved you that ye also love one another.'

LOOPHOLES IN MOSAIC LAW:

In the law of Moses, it is stated:

Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself...(Leviticus 19:18)

This law is defective and punctuated with loopholes. For instance, a fornicator who loves himself and his sins, if he is to love others as himself, then it follows that, since he loves fornication, his neighbours must be encouraged to fornicate. They will become the best of friends. It is for this fact that we have introduced the law of love. This is the new heaven and new earth, even the new kingdom of God. All the debt you owe and little problems that weigh you down have been checked. You enjoy this privilege due to the personification of love.

THE PERSONIFICATION OF LOVE:

The new king you read much about is love. The truth is that the universal love exercises no discrimination. Love is neither man, woman, white nor black. Love is neither angel nor spirit, it is only love and it is invisible. It is neither heard nor perceived, yet love is in our midst. If you possess love, you cannot be annoyed. Love is the personified Holy Spirit. If you have love, you will not begrudge, bear malice, tell lies, beat anybody or segregate among persons. If you have love, you will exercise self control, endurance and patience. With love as your weapon, you cannot see any evil or sin in anyone. You will not think or act in an evil manner. If you have love, no part of your body can commit sin or evil act; and you will not even know what is called evil. What is called light is nothing but love. What people refer to as the salt of life is nothing but this love. Power and glory of God are but love.

The Holy Spirit, our Lord Jesus Christ and God Almighty are love. Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is also love. You are not yet qualified for the kingdom. Why are you not ready for the kingdom? Do you want to pass through the window? All those who pass through the windows are thieves and robbers. Those who pass through the door are the sheep and the shepherd knows them. The gate way is love.

All those who go about shouting "Olumba Olumba Obu is Jesus, my God, or Jesus my God is Lord" are superficial. Love is the prime mover. Your talents, no matter how excellent they are, if you do not possess love, they are meaningless. Your status, persons, voices do not appeal to me. All I demand is that you exercise the love of one another.

IMBIBE LOVE AND LIVE:

The pertinent question is, do you love one another as God loves you? Our Lord Jesus Christ laid credence to love when He illustrated love on the Cross and emphasised same to His disciples as stated in John 15:13:

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friend."

He also said:

"Henceforth I call you not servant; for the servant knoweth not what His Lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you'.Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruits should remain that whatever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you'. (John 15:15-16)

How do you convert your brother to baptise in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, if you lack love and look haggard? Love is the essence of life. When you are suffering from deficiency of love; it follows that you will lack life wealth and health. If you dwell in this terrible lack, how will you preach to others? I urge you therefore, to rearrange your homes. Set them right; practise love that you may be able to convert others.

We are after perfection not imperfection. A true Brotherhood, that is, one who has forsaken sin by loving one another as God loves him, can never be sick. Briefly he is beyond human and material destruction. This is the beauty of true Brotherhood. The light in Brotherhood of Cross and Star attracts others and carries them on, The problem is that, you have also refused to practise His injunctions and so sickness, death, lack and other forms of afflictions beset you. You have witnessed its practical demonstration in me. I do not complain about lack, sickness, death, worries, tribulation and hunger. This is because, I abide richly in love. You are witness to this fact; so do something about yourself. Imbibe and practise love and live a better life.

The injunctions of God which you have rejected are your greatest hindrance. They are your main sources of hardship, illness, health, frustration and poverty. Wherever you are, when you keep the commandments of God, the Father will manifest in your home. He will appear physically before you. He will handle and check all encumbrances. He will wipe away tears from your eyes. All those who seek for salvation have seen it.

I appear physical and brief them on what steps to take. I am lavishly seen everywhere. The testimony of Deaconess Sanusi has explained this fact further. She testified that, all those who used to mock at her are now begging for baptism to be administered unto them, because they have seen the changes in her. Those in America, Britain, Russia and other parts of the world have seen me physically. Yet I have not traveled out of this environment.

Why do you claim that you are in the new kingdom, when you are all wallowing in sins and living below the expected moral standards? Does God get sick, steal, fornicate, tell lies, commit adultery, indulge in idolatry and all other vices? Is God poor. in lack or a beggar? Then what the fuss about this story of dwelling in God's kingdom on one hand, and lacking in everything on the other hand? Who will believe you? Who will be converted? Especially when you lay claim to the kingdom and the blessings do not manifest in you. If the blessings and benefits of the kingdom are not seen in you, who is to blame?

You are deeply involved with several women, yet proclaim and defend your marital status. You are deceiving yourself. After committing fornication and adultery, does it not tell on your business and health? When this happens, you accuse Brotherhood of being root cause of your problem., why? You are the cause of your misfortune.

The Almighty God, the merciful Father does not impoverish anyone who calls upon Him. Have I ever told you to go to the mountain, forest or water to pray? I have never done that and had never told you that there are hidden things in Brotherhood. What is in Brotherhood is love. Once you possess love for one another, you are free forever. Go, tell the world that, if they are baptised into Brotherhood of the Cross and Star and exercise this love, they will be free. No more, no less.

EVIL SHALL HAVE NO DOMINION OVER YOU:

Death, anger, sickness, poverty and all hazards of life have no dominion over you if you possess love. Anyone who possess the virtue of love has passed from death unto life. If you possess this love for one another, you abide in the light and no power of darkness can overcome you. You also have no stumbling block on your way (See 1 John 2:10-11).

The moment you derail from the principles of love, you are overshadowed by darkness. That is why people complain of their stars becoming dim. Your star is dimmed by the sins you have committed. All the church denominations call Jesus with their lips. They do not practise His words, not even one. No church practises the injunction of God, let alone demonstrate love.

My mission is not to satisfy monetary purpose or seek personal aggrandizement. It is to teach the ways of God and portray God the way He is. This is the reign and glory of Christ. The era of evil has gone. So, this is the time to carry on the advice of our Lord Jesus Christ. If the whites and indeed, the entire mankind had had this wisdom, (to love one another) their problems, afflictions and tribulations which emanate from lack of love and their rejection of the injunctions of our Lord Jesus Christ, would have changed for good.

The whole world did not know that the Holy Father makes His pronouncements from the highest heaven. They will be aware of this fact, All creations of God are receiving this message. The garment you wear is immaterial, your manner of worship is irrelevant. Whatever number of churches you establish carries no weight; the important thing is love. The question is have you demonstrated the love of one another? I have nothing to contest with the world. My major concern is to teach and demonstrate absolute and ultimate love.

Our Lord Jesus Christ had said:

`Verily. verily, I say unto you, whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. And the servant abideth not in the house forever, but the son abideth ever.' (Jon 8:34-35)

This instruction on love must be obeyed without exemption irrespective of a person's age or status. A child in the womb, infant, adult, rich, poor, white, black must demonstrate love.

There is no human being or church that has ever preached this sermon. The Father does all His things at the appropriate time, and this is the appointed time to unveil this mystery. IN the churches and religions of the world, you are told to do what is preached and not what is practised therein. The Pastor or the reverend in-charge will say, 'do what I say, not what I do'. The Priests or Reverends do consult oracles, witch-doctors, necromancers and they commit adultery and other forms of iniquity. Some go to steal or involve in armed robbery. This is a clear indication that, they are 'blind people'. In the parable of our Lord Jesus Christ, it was asked "....can the blind lead another blind?...." shall they not both fall into the ditch? (Luke 6:39)

THE WISDOM OF TRUTH:

This is the wisdom of truth. Those who possess this love will be saved but those who do not have the love shall perish. Spiritual healing is enhanced when you have the virtue of love. Otherwise, it does not work. For instance, in the time past, it was customary that I received congregation of people in my vestry, the purpose was to pray for them, anoint them and perform miracles. Millions were healed. It was love that salvaged the millions. Love is life, light and everlasting life. This is the wisdom of truth. Those who possess this love will be saved but those who do not have the love shall perish.

1 Corinthians 13:11 has it that, 'When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a MAN, I put away childish things.' (1 Corinthians 13:11)

Similarly you have to shun sin and emphasise love, so that you may reap the blessing of love.

PROMOTE BROTHERLY LOVE:

A Brotherhood member is not supposed to lack the basic necessities of life. One of such necessities is the love for one another. After all, you enjoy free protection from God. You are so covered that whoever attempts to disturb you usually bows out in shame. Repent therefore, and yield the fruits of love as this is commensurate with your blessing, and that God also may be pleased.

There is no joy in heaven over the death of a sinner. You are called up to repent. We are the children of God, and the children of God must practise the words of God. The children of the world cannot practise the words of God, because they are not of God, The law of God is 'love ye one another as I have loved you'. see (John 15:12). It is compulsory for you all to do same.

IMPORTANCE OF LOVE:

Love is the supreme weapon. Love is power. When you possess the virtue of love, a lot of things will be subjected to you. Love supersedes extensive missionary works, and fastings. I have not authorised you to fast everyday or go on missionary work throughout the year. I demand that you practice love at all times. If you do, your pronouncements will take effect immediately. All powers will submit to you. See Golden text below:

GOLDEN TEXT: JOHN 15:12

`This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you'.

THE ERROR WE COMMIT:

The above statement was made by the Almighty God Himself. This is so because our Lord Jesus Christ had said: 'Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me. The words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself; but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the work' (John 14:10)

If all those who call themselves Christians should practise love, the world should have been in peace. However, as it stands, the one that calls himself a Roman Catholic does not enter the premises of the Apostolic Church, neither does he associate with the members of the latter. The Presbyterian does not associate with the Mount Zion and the Qua Iboe Church members do not associate with the Assemblies of God congregation etc. No Christian Church agrees with the other because they are not operating in love and do not possess love.

The people of the world, including religious Leaders, are lamenting that juju, mermaid, witchcraft, incubus and diabolical things are disturbing them. They all attribute the cause of their problems to these lifeless things. I have proclaimed from the highest heaven that witchcraft, mermaid, incubus, ghost, charms or amulet neither exist nor do they cause any havoc to mankind. What is causing all the problems for mankind is lack of love, It has been written that at the appointed time. all those who do not hearken to His words shall be cut off from among the people. If therefore, you do not practise the words of this sermon, you will surely have afflictions, problems sickness and consequently you will die.

This is the problem and trouble of the entire world. If you do anything wrong, as a child of God, you will be chastised. This chastisement from God does not mean hatred but it serves as a timely correction so that you may not be judged with the world. The scripture confirms this fact when it states:

"For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world." (1 Corinthians 11:31-32)

If you possess this love, you are expected to go to hospitals, prisons, orphanages etc. and offer prayers. The prayer of a righteous person can heal all sicknesses and solve all problems as confirmed in James 5:16.

`Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. Elijah as a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain, and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth' brought forth her fruit.,'

WHAT IS BROTHERHOOD?:

Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is not a church, a worshiper's house, a spiritual hospital, or a shrine but the New Kingdom of God. What is obtainable in Brotherhood is love.

You, as a member of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, have to practise the first and great commandment. That is, to exercise love for God above all other things as our Lord Jesus Christ implored.

'...Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind' (Matthew 22:37)

He further stressed this love and code it with a promise as stated in John 14:15-17:

If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever; even the spirit of truth: whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.'

Now that you are stealing, is that the spirit of Olumba? You call yourself a wonderful visioner, yet, you see witch-craft, mermaid, juju incubus and the like; is that the Holy Spirit which I project? You charge money for prayer, vision and healing, is that the spirit of Olumba? When you deceive someone that, God wants the two of you to be a couple, is that the spirit of Olumba? You beg something from someone, pretending to be sent by God, have you satisfied the requirement of Olumba? You are an expert in causing segregation and taking lion-shares of whatever comes your way; is this the directive from Olumba? You do not allow anybody to come close to you so that he may not take away what you have; are you sure you are pleasing Olumba? Does the spirit of Olumba direct you that when you come to 34 Ambo Street and in the hall you should be humble but misbehave as soon as you are out of sight? Is it the Holy Spirit which directs you to do that? If you are endowed with the Holy Spirit, you will humble yourself even as Olumba is humble.

When you are told to visit a particular place to be endow with the Holy Spirit, please do not go. The Holy Spirit cannot be manipulated and cannot be bought with money. The abstract below is the sours of the Holy Spirit.

`He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manliest myself to him," (John 14:21)

When you love one another, it follows that you love Christ and the Father. The trinity therefore, will abide with you.

THE CITY OF BROTHERHOOD:

Brotherhood of the Cross and Star has now been revealed through love. The vision of that sister in Jos tells the story. Her words were so pathetic and sorrowful. She said that she saw the Holy Father walking alone in a very beautiful and magnificent city. That, when the Father asked whether He was to stay alone in that big city, she inquired about the detailed explanation of the question. The Father replied in that vision that, sins and lack of love of the children of men debar them from coming up to Him. She said that, it was such a pathetic sight seeing the Holy Father alone there, in such magnificent and beautiful city.

It is said that two or three persons are better than fifty thousand, if they posess love. I seek for virgins, yet, I have none. In spite of the multitudes that flock in here, none posesses love.

WHY YOU CAN'T POSSESS LOVE?:

You cannot demonstrate love because you find it difficult to comply with the Father's instructions. You eat fish, meat and drink wine. Which space then, is left for love? The young men from Europe, Daniel and George Goring who have been currently appointed as Christ's Servants do not eat fish and meat. They are Vegetarians. I charge you therefore to emulate them. You long to dwell with God, but you fail to back-up your intention with other claims.

CHRIST'S TEACHINGS:

The universities the world over, shall resound these teachings. You may call them recondite wisdom, but they are Christ's teachings. They shall be known and called as such Love is a must; it is necessity for human emancipation. That is why I will continue to emphasize love. My sermon on love, especially this piece, shall enjoy world wide circulation. This is compulsory because everybody must take cognisance of love and demonstrate same. What is sin? It is the inability to love one another as our Lord Jesus Christ loved us. So, a sinner is he who does not love one another as our Lord Jesus Christ loved him. This type of sin is a sin unto death. The penalty of lack of love is death.

Moses knew that the people of his generation did not believe in him. For he said:

`The Lord thy God will False tap unto thee a prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken.' (Deuteronomy 18:15)

The deplorable situation in the whole world stems from the fact that its inhabitants have ignored divine prophecies. One of such prophecies is the one recorded in — Acts 3:22-23.

For Moses truly said unto the fathers, a prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.

And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shell be destroyed from among the people'.

This prophecy has been fulfilled. All you need do to avoid this imminent destruction is to rejoice and hearken to Him. The manifestation of this prophecy is appreciated now. In fact, those who do not posess love are paying the penalty. Our Lord Jesus Christ also knew that the people did not believe in Him, and so He said:

`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:

'But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name. he shall teach you things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you'. (John 14:26)

You cannot commence a war when you have not studied and adopted its logistics. You also have to weigh the capacity of your soldiers and armament, if you cannot cope with the situation you submit to peaceful negotiation (Refer to Luke 14:31-32)

Or what king, going to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?

And if not, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends all embassy and ask terms of peace.

The works executed here in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is not man-made. No human being can perform these marvelous works. Every heart is ready to practise love and has accepted love as the law of the new age. Ninety nine per cent of the entire inhabitants of the world are ready to practise love. This sermon is an exhibit of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star.

All Brotherhood members should put on the armour of love and practise same. Love should be what you preach to the entire world, as this is the 'stick-wish' of our Lord Jesus Christ. Always seek love, request for love, labour for love and desire love.

The power, wealth and all good things you witness in Brotherhood stem from love. Love is Brotherhood of the Cross and Star.

May God bless His Holy words; Amen!
