GOOD AND EVIL WORK TOGETHER TO MANIFEST THE GLORY OF GOD
First Bible Lesson: ST ROMANS 5:20
"Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in 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."
Second Bible Lesson: ST Matthew 12:29
"But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. "
Golden Text: ROMANS 8 :28
"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."
MALE AND FEMALE:
Zero and one do the same work. One and two do the same work. Day and night are one and the same thing. Man and women are one thing. The word and god are one thing. The word is not distinct from god. God and man are one and inseparable. In the city of the rich, there is a pour man. The mother of the prophet of god is also the mother of the false prophet. Aaron who made a cold an image for the Israelites to worship with had the same father and mother with Moses. This is to show that all the creations of god are male and female. The male is not complete without the female and both of them are not two but one.
When asked how many people there are in the world, you will say that there are very many people. There not many people in the world, but only one person. That is why, according to the teachings of brotherhood, if a man is the president, of any fellowship or any meeting a woman will be the Vice-president. If a man is the Chairman, the woman will be the Vice - Chairman. If a man is the Secretary, a woman will be his Assistant. Wherever there is no man, there is also no woman. Wherever there is no woman, there is no man. If you say that a man is a trouble-maker, a woman is also a trouble-maker. If you take a man into a forest to live there alone there will be no quarrel because he is alone. The same applies to a woman. She cannot quarrel and fight with the trees.
The moment you bring a man and a woman together in the same place, they will start fighting, likely that very day. They will shout and best each other. They will quarrel, get angry fight and shout. Within a short time they will be blessed with first issue they will begin to increase in number. Yet they are fighting, quarrelling and wounding each other. Death next line then sets in. There is weeping. Soon you hear that thieves have stolen something. They too will complain that this is an evil world, fall of so many temptations. And yet people are creasing, food and houses are also increasing. There are wars and the manufacturers of war implements. That is the order of things in this world. It is the way god has made the world.
SORROW AND JOY:
Wherever there is no sorrow, there is no joy. Wherever there is no joy there is no sorrow. The person, who has no child, never complains of a sick child. The person, who has no child, does not have a dead child. Anybody who has no child, we'll never report that somebody has beaten his child. Nobody has ever stolen a child from a barren woman. If you have a child, know that all these will befall you - your child could fall sick, would be stolen, or could die. All these things bring glory to God. Therefore, we should not say that god does not know about these things. Or ask why god should allow things to happen to you. You have heard what the first lesson says. That the law entered, that the offense might abound. But where same abounded, grace did much more abound.
You say that the world is a bad place and that things are not going well in the country. How can you explain that when you were a Republic, we mint our own money. We rule ourselves and make our laws. We can fight a war today and make these tomorrow. We have this great freedom at our disposal. Tell me how the world is a bad place.
You were all here during the civil war and you saw how people died like flies. The streets were all littered with corpses. Today look at the explosive population. Women are giving birth like a hen hatching her eggs. Men who could not beget children are now bearing children. What evil was there in the world? Is it when you had to go and study in Universities abroad things were good? Would you say, the good years were when Primary Six holders of Certificates were made headmasters and governors, as compared to now when we have many lawyers, doctors and philosophers around?
PROSPERITY AFTER EACH WAR:
The world continues to advance A And progress and there are so many people that you can do nothing about it. After the 1914 were there was prosperity. After the 1939 war there was another spell of prosperity, and the incoming of freedom. During the Nigerian Civil War every person was left with nothing. No person thought that there would be anything as prosperity . But since the war ended, people have become very rich. You even find women becoming millionaires. There is increase in population and knowledge. Show me what evil there was in the war.
If you meet a millionaire who explains to you the sufferings he has passed through before becoming a millionaire, you will thou that you would never want to be one. You can see a very poor men who would like to narrate to you how rich he was, and the amount of wealth accumulated. But today he is left with nothing. You will be surprised at the ups in and downs of life. That is exactly the way Father wants it.
The gospel of today he has really taught us the wisdom and nature of god. Because we think that Satan is troubling the world, that there are many wicked people, witches and juju are disturbing the place. None of these things is troubling the world, everything is perfectly in order. There is no evil thing in this world. But there is nothing which is done by man. Everything is done by god. He has ordered everything for his own good. That is the way he has ordered the world and maintains its growth.
GOD CREATED EVERYTHING FOR A PURPOSE:
God created the heavens, the earth, the mountains, the seas, the trees, the son, the Moon, birds, animals and everything, and bless them. If there is no rainfall again, the whole world will perish. If there is no sunshine, then the world is equally perish. If there is no fire than the world will perish. But it was fire which was used to destroy Sodom are Gomorrah. The world of Noah was destroyed with water. Fire and water which is evil or the more evil of the two? Which is the better?
Are they not the ones ruling? Have you not seen that the long entered that the defense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound. Famine comes in cell so that hunger may come. Hunger comes so that there may be sickness, sorrow and death. All these will finally give way to progress, life, prosperity the and joy. Up to date you have heard here that there was a certain community which for seven years no person was sick, no person died, and no person put to bed any child. They left that place and said that it was an evil place. They went and lived in another place.
When they got to the new place somebody died. Shortly, many women were pregnant, and they rejoiced over this situation. These are the two things that had rests to life. And god has kept them so. Quarrelling, fighting, anger, divisions, unity, peace love and joy all work hand in hand. When you reconcile with someone you quarreled with you will find that there is much more joy and love between you than before. The wisdom of God eludes man. Except now that the holy spirit has come to woo reveal him, no person would ever know the way of God.
HONOUR AND DISGRACE WORK TOGETHER FOR COMMON GOOD:
The night has its own work which did they cannot do. The day has its own worked which tonight cannot do. The day has its own work which the night cannot do. Without the night there is no day, without that they there is no night. Both of them do one work. Just as sickness alone cannot do this work so also good health alone cannot do it. Both of them go together as one entity. Life alone cannot to do this work and death alone cannot do this work. Both of them work together and manifest the glory of God. ONOUR and Gloria alone cannot do this work, disgrace and shame alone cannot do it. Both pairs work together for one common good.
People wonder why a man of god should starve, or be in lack, or get killed. Have you not heard our lesson? If he is not treated this way, his work is not complete. And so all that we see is the glory of God. God he uses these things in the revealing his glory. There is no Satan or ghost or juju or evil. When you're not sick, you will not value good health. You always complain that things are bad with you. When attention is drawn to your good health, you will ask if good health is food. Another person has money but he's very sick and cannot sleep. If you talk about his money, he will tell you that he is dying, and his money cannot give him life for good health. Can you see the work of those twin brothers?
CELEBRATING HIS RETURN:
Everyday we are lamenting, and everyday we are joyful. Whenever you lost your one naira, you will become sad. You will become angry with every person in the house you will say all sorts of things because of that one naira. When suddenly you recover the one naira, you will rejoice and call the children to calm and sing with you. If it was not lost, would you saying intense and rejoice as you are doing now? Just as the first son told his father, I have always remained weak you, but you have never given me a cow, not even a foul to celebrate a feast with my friends. But when this your son who went and squandered your wealth with prostitutes came back, you celebrate the feast for him with cows and sheep.
His father told him, son, you are always here with me and everything I have is yours. But this your brother was lost and is found. He was dead and has come back up to life. It was necessary that we should rejoice with him. Have you now seen the glory of God? If your father is a a wealthy man and does not take you up round up his estates and riches, how would you know the wealth of your father? He owns death. He owns good health and everything. He has to take us around his vineyard so that we can see how beautiful it is. If you hear that your father is very rich, without first seeing his wealth will you believe?
IF YOU ARE SURROUNDED WITH WEALTH YOU CANNOT SEE HIM:
Job said that he heard of god with the eight years but now he is seen him face to face. When did he only hear the voice of God? It was when he was rich, and was not sick. His children and all were intact. That was when he heard of God with the years and did not see him. If he did not lose his children and all his wealth, how would he have seen God face to face. Right now you are desirous to see god face to face. If god surrounds you with 12, children and every good thing, you cannot see him. You can only see these things surrounding you. Unless he takes all these things away from you then will you be able to see him face to face and converse with him.
The reason is that when you are surrounded with money, wealth, and people you will feel that without these things you will die. You do not know anything about god. You regard houses as God. You regard money, wealth and relations as God. No matter how much you are told about God you will not believe. You'll think that it is your wealth which has sustained you. But whenever he takes you unawares like premature word birth, binds you hands and feet and takes away all your wealth, you turn left and right and there is no soul by you. But you continue to live and are still happy. That is when you see God face to face and know that he is the source of everything.
GOD IS ALL AND ALL:
For one to be in affluence and for one to be in lack is the same thing. For one to be up to the sick and for one to be in good health is one and the same thing. There is no difference. The sick man is up with God and the healthy man is also with God. But God is all and in all. He is sickness, he is good health, he is poverty, and he is wealth. From time to time he has to show you the different aspects of his person so that you can fully comprehend your Father. And when you stand up to speak about him, you can speak with authority.
Somebody who has never been sick is very impatient with basic men. You are very weak. Why can't you stand up as a man, he would say to the sick man? He does not know what it is to be sick. If you have a sick man who has never enjoyed good health, you will not be able to tell you what it is like to enjoy good health because he has never experienced it. And so when you're sick you have expressed what it is to be sick. The space when you are in good health you know what it is to be in good health. You have been to these two cities so that when you meet a sick man you can give him words of encouragement and that will cheer him up. Let us read the first lesson.
1st Lesson: Romans 5:20
" Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound."
HE IS AWARE OF EVERY HAPPENING:
Have you ever had this wisdom? You who lament that things are very difficult with you and that death should come and take you away, have you known that where sin abounds, grace much more abounds? Do you know this?
Do you not know that God is responsible for the bad situation. He has seen that there is much grace around you and so he toughens the situation so that when you are pressed two of the extreme he may come and shower more grace unto you. That is how god sees the progress of his kingdom, by these ups and downs of life.
Many people are saying that God should take away death. If God takes away death, there will be no life as well. If someone does not die, no person is born. If you are not sick you will not be healthy. If you are not for you will not be rich, and if you are not rich you will never be poor. All these things are one and they do the same work. That is why no matter how will you pray or preach these things continue. God it grows everyday and his grace are multiplied everyday. Do you not want his grace to abound? When you ask God to take away this or that, it means that you want him to regret. It cannot be so.
You have already been told that it is tribulation which brings glory. If Adam and eve did not transgress how would God come down and live with man? If it is through their offense that God has come down to dwell with man, can you show me what evil there is in that? If we examine ourselves we will realize that all the tribulations become too was going much glory to us in the end. You say that the whites did not practice the word of God; if they did practice the word of God, would the word of reach you?
TAKING OF BRIBES AND AFTER EFFECT:
Every offense is committed so that grace may abound to many people. Right now there are no vacancies in the Public or Private sector. People are no more employed. Millions of applicants are roaming the streets. If the few in the offices do not take bribes or commit one offense or the other, how would they be driven away for others to be employed? He has to collect bribes so that he may be sacked for another person to be employed. You cannot ask God why he continues to do these things. He is not wrong in doing these things because where sin abounds, their grace did much more abound.
No person can stand the tribulations which Christ faced. Even today you often hear people say that you should not tempt them because they are not Jesus. You cannot compare them with him. But who has assumed the glory today? The world saying that you should not compare them with Our Lord Jesus Christ because he alone suffered tribulation. Of that is true. How many of them are glorified today? And so if you are a child of god be ready to suffer tribulation with Christ. If you suffer with him you will also be glorified with him. The reverse is the case today. No person wants to suffer tribulation that you are all waiting for the glory of God. It is quite impossible, because no cross, no crown.
It means that you want to enter through the window. When you hear that this kingdom zip up god that you start looking for short cuts into it. There is no short way. It is said that the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded graced it much more bound many people say that there are so many laws in Brotherhood, do not eat meat, do not eat fish, do not fornicate, do not drink etc. They cannot practice these and dale will rather go to the church where they are free to indulge in these sins. Many people have fallen because of the many laws. They're drinking space fornicating space telling lies and stealing. But it is also here that you will find many people have forsaken drinking up, fornication and other sins. Grace has much more of abounded.
If it was not for these thorns now and then if many of you would become insane that because of joy. This joint is so great that you cannot contain it. God has two coats these small fans as messengers to keep you from being over - joyous. When you are rejoicing somebody will come and tell you that now you are dancing, your brother is, very sick. The joy up will be taken away. You will begin to ask, if this is the Kingdom of God. These are all temptations farming so that you will become a real successful farmer. But during harvest, unions are all dead. The gain in your business can at offset this Las. This is done by god. You sent out to people with articles of trade thinking that there will be much prophets with to people sent out. God is watching you be assured that one of them will come back with profit and the other with a Las. This happens so that you may still remain between joy and sorrow.
DO NOT SERVE GOD FOR ANY ULTER IOR MOTIVE:
Brethren, do not disturb yourself again. Up to ask questions about any situation or events. Everything is at the instance of God. There is no Satan, no mistake nor any evil power responsible for anything. The grace of god is sufficient unto us. Whether you pray it or not, whether you know god or not, is the same. Do not seek to know god or to please him for any ulterior motive. Nothing depends on this. The person who praise and the person who does not trade are one and the same. You are praying but there is no kobo in your house. The person does not pray but he has much money.
The person who does not praying to god has money will turn to you and say, brother you are a man of God, have this morning. You will knock your hand on the ground and give thanks to God. And seeing what the person who does not pray has done for you? You have been him as an evil man who will go to hell. He is giving you some of his money so that you can shut up. You may find some other person who says that there is no God. And he is very rich and wealthy. He will say to you why are you wasting your time with God? There is no such thing. Do not see my wealth, my children and all these affluence? This idol has given them to me. I can show you how you can also require them.
Very soon his children will start to die. His wealth will begin to go. He is afflicted with a sickness. You who were in a man of god starts to prosper. He will come and not his head at your feet and asked for prayers, and some food. You ask if he did not once say that there was nothing like God. He will tell you to forget about that. His wealth and his children have a gone and he himself is very sick. You will begin to supply his needs for your abundance. That is the text which says who can enter into the house of a strong man and plunder his goods without first binding those strong man's hands and feet.
A RICH MAN DOES NOT HEAR THE WORD OF GOD:
That is why Christ also said, I have told you that no man can come to me except my Father who sent me draw and I will cause him to resurrect on the last day. If you go and tell a millionaire that you want to pray for him and preach the Word of God to him, he will tell you that he has no time. That he wants to attend to his business, the wants to go to the bank. He will ask that his wife to find you some money because you are hungry and have nothing to do. He does not want to hear the word of god. He will tell you a that he himself is god and can offer prayers for himself. He is not concerned with whatever you have to offer.
You have heard that sister who testified last night that was looking for a child which brought her into Brotherhood. Her husband was strongly against this. Within two months she was pregnant. The man told her that you will follow her to whether she has received this help. The wife told him that it was no other place than Brotherhood. And the man said, let us go. What is the evil in that? If that did not happen his sister and her brother would never come to Brotherhood. Is not that you want to kill him. You want to bring him to the salvation.
SHE WAS BOUND HANDS AND FEET:
The sister herself said that she did not want to come to Brotherhood because many people had told her about Brotherhood earlier. But when she went to the doctor she was told that it will be impossible for her to have an issue. If that Dr. Was able to give her a child she would never come to Brotherhood. When her sister told her that if she comes to brotherhood she will be saved and she will have children, she said that she has heard of it before and will not come. When all hopes was lost, she reasoned that if it is coming to Brotherhood that will solve her problems, then she had no option. She has been bound hands and feet. What was evil in her stand? Today if you tell her to leave brotherhood she will refuse.
It is said that the law entered, that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, space grace did much more abound. Have you not seen how the grace of God abounds in us? Let the second lesson being . read so that you may not weep, or lament and become sorrowful again.
2nd Lesson: Matthew 12:29
"Or else how can one into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods except be first bind the strong nan? And then he will spoil his house."
THEY EXECUTE THEIR POWERS AT WILL:
Have you heard that? You can see the situation in the world today. God has everyone hands and feet and there is hardship, famine and difficulties everywhere. If it was not for these who would seek after God? How would people come to repentance? The governments say that there is no God. They think that they are the Gods of the earth. They can imprison you, or kill you or do whatever they like to you without being questioned by any person . If you go to preach the word of God here because this is government office.
If you take the Word of God to the hospital they will tell you not to preach or preach because the doctor is around today, it is the doctor who invites you to come and pray for them. This is because he has failed. His medicine does not heal any longer . In the past necromancers, medical doctors, scientists said that there was no God. Today something has happened in the world until people now seek for a hiding place. If things did not happen this way who would seek for God or know there is God.
You will hear testimonials from new members coming up into Brotherhood that they have serious court cases, they are sick, their businesses have folded up, my children are dead and they will enumerate their problems. Who has brought about these problems? It is the Father. If these problems did not come, would they seek for God? You will also CO members still asking you to pray for them, that there is too much temptation facing them, the children are stubborn and do not want to hear the word of God, that there is too much temptation facing them, their husbands are troubling them and so on. It is the Father who has put this thorn in their flesh so that they may not be over exalted. If these things were not so you do not know what would happen.
THE IMPRESSION OF PEOPLE ON BROTHERHOOD AND OTHER CHURCHES:
Anger and joy do the same work. The extreme of anger in you will drive you into doing one very important thing in life. You can be a tenet in somebody's house, and they continue to drive you from one house to another. And people what ask you, can you not build your own house? Your mates have all the houses. For this reason, you will stamp your feet on the ground and thou that come death, even if you have to starve and walk naked, God stand by me, you are going to build a house. And you build a house.
CURSE IS NOT ALWAYS A PUNISHMENT:
There is a certain play in which in their song, they say, if you are cursed know that they are teaching you a lesson. Because there were two brothers who went to school together. One of them became a teacher and the other did not go further. The teacher when they told him, did we not attend school together? Today I am the teacher but what are you? For this reason his brother decided to further his studies. The one who said he was a teacher stopped at standard four. But this man who went out of anger went as far as obtaining the grade II Teacher's Certificate. He became a greater teacher. What evil was there? If he was not abused, may be he would not have become anything in life.
Do not be angry when somebody tells you, what can you do to me? A foolish man like yourself. Do not be angry with him. He is strengthening you to stand firm and do something. Rather than somebody praising you, let him abuse you. Rather than somebody loving you, let him hate to you. God has made it such amongst ten people, five will hate the other five love you. Twenty people in a place and nineteen will hate you while the one person will love you in a wonderful way. Out of forty thirty-nine will love you but one vagabond will never want to hear anything about you. If you passed what wrong have you done to him, he will say that you have done nothing; he only does not want to see you. It is the Father who is doing this.
YOU WILL BE HATED BY SOME PEOPLE AND LOVE BY SOME:
That is why it is said that said that if every person loves you then you are nothing, you are lost. If every person pays you, you are equally lost. God has made it such that wherever you go, a certain number of people will love, and a fraction will hate you. That is when they strike a balance. Our brother testified this morning that the students of the Unicross drove Justice Udo Udoma out of the Campus when he went to launch his book there. The reason, according to the stillness was that he was against their creation of more states in Cross River State. It is the Father who is responsible for this.
Do not troubled over any thing, and events or situation because everything works together for a good for them that love God. It was through the sin of Adam that suffering came to all, even to those who did not commit the sin as Adam. Today, through Christ, salvation has come to all men even those who have not done any good thing. What was the evil in what Adam did. If it was because of this sin of Adam that Christ came and died and redeemed the world, what evil did Adam commit? Where sin abound, grace did much more abound. Have you not seen the fulfillment of this statement. I will not leave you desolate. I will come a game to you. Has this not been fulfilled today?
HIS GRACE IS ALWAYS WITH US:
Have you not seen the word fulfilled, that I will not leave you more forsake you? God does not forsake man for a minute, and he does not fail man whether you tall, or fat, or rich, or poor means nothing. God is God forever. Since Adam was sent out of the Garden have you heard that any person has replaced him or that an angel has taken over his place? It is not man who is still ruling today? Is it not man who is still the Son of God? Why is it then that you do not believe that where sin abound there grace did much more abound? Have you not seen the abundance of grace around.
At first there was no University of Nigeria; you had to go and study abroad. Today there is a university in almost every state. Where does this come from? Before we had only one governor for the whole country and he was a white man. But today you we have nineteen governors and more are coming. If new states are created. Can you not see how grace has abounded. If our master did not starve us, would we have this glory? You can then see that everything works together for good for them that love God.
Do not fear whatever you hear because it is only for good. Everything which you hear and brings good and peace to us. Do not saying that person is destroying the earth. Do not say that the other person is very good. No person is good and no person is very bad. It is God who is good. Who is clothed in whites? It is still the Father. He is the beginning and the end. He is the first and last. If he does not to something, such a thing is not done. Everything is good. Nothing is evil. Watch carefully and you will see the grace of God in the midst of everything which you say is evil.
MAN PROPOSES BUT GOD DISPOSES:
The selling of Joseph into slavery in Egypt became an of list meant to the Israelites. The pudding of Shadrach and his two friends into fire led to the spread of the word of God. The imprisonment of Paul lead to the spread of the word of God, and strengthening of faith of the believers. Caiaphas thought that if Jesus was killed his work would come to an end. But his death has brought about the spread of his word and fame. And many people have now come to believe that he is still alive. Because if he did not die, he would not have resurrected. If he did not resurrect, the world population would not increase.
It is said that except a grain of corn falls to the ground and dies, it remains alone. But when it dies, it brings forth much fruits. Have you not seen how Christ has multiplied and filled the whole world? If you plant a bad seed here, when it germinates it will fill the place with that fruits. But if one good thing is planted, it will germinate and brings forth many good fruits. That is why you find the children of God all over the world. This is because of the death and resurrection of Christ. Let our golden text be read.
Golden Text: Romans 8:28
"And we know all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose."
THEY FLOCK INTO BROTHERHOOD BECAUSE THEY WANTED POWER:
Have you heard that? Caiaphas said that he should be killed because it is expedient for one man to die than for the whole nation to perish. That prophesy was not from him but from God. He Caiaphas was the high priest that year. He prophesied that Jesus had to die for the nation and not for that nation alone but to gather into one all the children of God scattered all over the world.
Have you not seen what his death has brought to mankind? The children of God have multiplied all over the world. Caiaphas thought that he was doing an evil thing but can you see the abundance of God which this thing has brought about. It is said that one's enemies shall be those of his house. All those who hated Christ are now the children of God. Today history has repeated itself. People thought that if they removed Olumba, Brotherhood will come to an end. And every person will return to his former church. And so they started saying that the Leader has been caught in a net. The whole world came out to see this. And when they came, the net caught all of them and they got baptized into Brotherhood.
They say that it is Beelzebub and those who know what Beelzebub is and the power in its said that was what they were if looking for. The thing is at our doorstep why do have to pay our to distant places and acquire the power of Beelzebub. And so, they all come in here because they are looking for the power of Beelzebub. People saying that the Leader has a house inside water, in the sun, in the moon, he has great power, he kills, he drinks blood. When others hear this they will want to come so that the Leader can kill a the enemies for them. And so all those who want people to be killed for them flock into this place.
THEY FLOCK INTO BROTHERHOOD BECAUSE THEY WANTED VENGENGE OVER THEIR ENEMIES:
If somebody's property was stolen or an enemy is troubling him, he wants to come so that the Leader can kill his enemy for him. But when he comes in the does not return again. Those who want Beelzebub powers or some other protective charms rush down here when they hear that the Leader is Beelzebub. That is how the whole world is brought in here. It is not that they deliberately came here to worship God. Another group of persons will say that He is the Christ who has come again. All those who were waiting for Christ rush in and see the glory of God. Others will say that the Leader of the whole world has come and those who were waiting for a world leader rush in here.
Another people will say that he is satan, he is juju, he is Beelzebub, some American power, there is great power there but no person knows its source. People will say it is exactly what they were looking for. Since they are looking for all these Satanic powers, they will come in. And so, in this way those who seek for God and those who seek for Satan are all brought in here because God is everything. This is so that knees must bow to Him and all tongues should praise Him. All those who are the children of God, when they hear that God is here, they will rush in. All those who are the children of Satan since they hear that Satan is here, they will come in. Both of them come and meet together. What evil is in that?
THEY FLOCK INTO BROTHERHOOD BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE IT IS THE HIGHEST SECRET SOCIETY:
Others say it is the highest society. You find people abandoning their other societies and coming into this highest society. Others say, it is the long-expected Kingdom of God people have been waiting for. Those who have been waiting for the Kingdom of God will rush in. The people of the world are defeated. All their strategies have failed. They have called Him all kinds of evil names and people still flock to him. And now they decide on another thing. If we say the man has died people will no longer go to Him. They decided this was the solution to the whole matter. They then go about telling people the Leader is dead. When people hear this, they rush down to see if it is true. This again has become a source of bringing more sheep into Brotherhood.
EVERYTHING WORKS TOGETHER FOR GOOD:
GOD, THE SON, THE HOLY SPIRIT ARE NOW ON EARTH:
A police officer visited one of his friends and he saw the Father's picture there. He then commented the Father was dead. The other said he was not dead but still alive. In the process of the argument about five policemen decided to come here and verify. It was during the Pentecostal Period and when they saw the Father, they all went in for baptism. The death rumor has brought in more people. They then try another line of action by maintaining, the Leader has died and that the person who has taken his place is his brother who resembles him. The similarity in appearance of the two brothers and power has brought a great many people into Brotherhood.
Everything works together for good. Do not disturb yourself again. Be convinced whatever happens in your place of work is good. All things work together for your good and they bring about the glory of God. That was why Paul said, for light affliction, which is for a moment, is not to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. (2nd Corinthians Chapter 4 verse 17). What persecution, or imprisonment, or lack is there that can be compared with this glory, which we now find ourselves? What will take us away from this Kingdom. Is it disgrace, sickness, persecution, hunger, famine, insults or slander.
Everyday people are coming to Brotherhood in large numbers. The worldly churches are lying empty. One will say to the other, what are you waiting for? I am going to Brotherhood. If it was said here is God, the Presidents, the governors and all the millionaires would fill up all the seats and where would you be? Would you not perish? But God does not want us to perish. He says, the afflicted should not weep because the Savior is not on the way but is right here with us. He has first to reveal this glory to the poor and afflicted before he brings in the rich of the world. Can you not see the greatness of God's wisdom?
GOD, THE SON, THE HOLY SPIRIT ARE NOW ON EARTH:
He does not regret over His election. With regard to the gospel we are his enemies because no one can practice his words. But as regards election, we are elected out of grace because of the promise He made to our Fathers. He does not regret His electing us. Do not trouble yourself any longer your mother does not come to Brotherhood and so she is lost. She is not lost. God has said through the righteousness of one man the whole world is saved. Do not say God has forsaken the world because there are many evil people in the world. Where sin abounds there grace did much more abound. God has not left the world. The Father is here. The Son is here. And the Holy Spirit is here.
Everything works together for good and accomplishes this work. Life and death work together. Good health and sickness work together. Man and woman work together. Man, Woman and God work together hand in hand. Day and night are the same things. Do not say you want the day and not the night. If you do not want the day, you do not have the night. If you do not want the night, you do not want the day. Do not despise anything. Do not say the leaf is nothing. Do not say the trees are nothing. But for the tree, you will have no food to eat here. All these seats are made of wood.
The dirtiest place in the world is the toilet. Where does the dirt come from? Where there is no man, there is no toilet. Wherever there is man, there is toilet, and the subsequent smell and dirt. All these smell and dirt come from the man who is very handsome and beautiful. Have you seen the tree being sick? Have you seen the leaf being sick? It is only man who is sick. It is only man who dies. It is only man who has this glory. And so, when the work of nature is being made manifest do not doubt or ask any questions. Everything is to reveal the glory of God.
One stroke of the cane is sufficient unto the wise. Those who have ears to hear, let them hear. May God bless His Holy Words. Amen.
