THE RECONDITE WISDOM OF

THE HOLY SPIRIT.

TEXT: Matthew Chapter 5 verses 1 to End.
And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his
disciples came unto him:
And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall
be filled.
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the
kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all
manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so perse
cuted they the prophets which were before you.
Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith sh
all it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to
be trodden under foot of men.
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick;
and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glori
fy your Father which is in heaven.
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to d
estroy, but to fulfil.
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle sha
ll in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach
men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever sh
all do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousnes
s of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of he
aven.
Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and who
soever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause sha
ll be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, s
hall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be i
n danger of hell fire.
Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy br
other hath ought against thee;
Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to th
y brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at
any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to
the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast p
aid the uttermost farthing.
Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adulte
ry:
But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath com
mitted adultery with her already in his heart.
And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is
 profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy who
le body should be cast into hell.
And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is
profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whol
e body should be cast into hell.
It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing
of divorcement:
But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause
of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her t
hat is divorced committeth adultery.
Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not
forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:
But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:
Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the c
ity of the great King.
Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white
or black.
But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than t
hese cometh of evil.
Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth
:
But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on t
hy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have th
y cloke also.
And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not th
ou away.
Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate th
ine enemy.
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to the
m that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you
;
That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his
sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on th
e unjust.
For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publica
ns the same?
And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even th
e publicans so?
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. (Mat
thew Chapter 5 verses 1 to 48).
The main reason why, you attend Bible class is to learn the lessons; so that, th
e worldly people will not have what to say; and when you stand to discuss with t
hem, you would be able to surpass them. Have you not seen the tribulations, and
afflictions affecting the whole world? Our Lord Jesus Christ did not come as a p
rophet. He came as a Teacher to teach the world, and to lead them. Why things ar
e like we see now is, we have rejected the teachings of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
This same teaching of Our Lord Jesus Christ is repeated in this last era. It app
ears to me, you people come here for prayers, bread, butter and fishes. The trou
bles, difficulties or atrocities, besetting the whole world is, the people of th
is world have rejected the teachings of Our Lord Jesus Christ. You profess to at
tend Church services, but no person is prepared to practice the teachings of Our
Lord Jesus Christ. Our Lord Jesus Christ was a great teacher. He continued to i
mpart His lessons, as we are doing here.
Read Matthew Chapter 5 verses 2 and 3:
And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew Ch
apter 5 verses 2 and 3).
ESCHEW ALL VICES, AND PRACTICE THE
TEACHINGS OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST:
Have you heard that? He was sent forth as a great teacher. In all His words, tho
ughts and deeds, He demonstrated His teaching unto the world, but every person,
King, Emperor, Lord or Pauper and all the inhabitants of the world have rejected
His own teachings. He did not establish any Church denomination. He did not est
ablish a prayer house or healing home, but He came as a great teacher to teach t
he people of the world about the ways of God. The whole world cannot have peace,
because they have rejected the teachings of Our Lord Jesus Christ. There will b
e no peace, because the world has rejected the teachings of Our Lord Jesus Chris
t. All the living lessons given to the world by Our Lord Jesus Christ, have been
rejected, because the world prefers punishment and suffering to peace.
In this last era and in this new Kingdom of God, you have repeated what your for
efathers had done. Do you also want to reject the teachings of Our Lord Jesus Ch
rist, because most of you come here for prayers and blessings. That is why, you
continue to ask your brothers, friends and relations to attend prayers, and rece
ive the Father's blessings. It means, you are not prepared to receive the teachi
ngs of Our Lord Jesus Christ in this last era. Upon all the lessons I have impar
ted unto you, there is none of you, who is prepared to put these lessons into pr
actice. Every person claims, he is going for prayers. None of you appears as peo
ple, who are going to receive a lesson from another person. You are behaving lik
e beasts or animals; because, if somebody is going into a school as a student, h
e must be prepared to receive the lessons.
IF YOU REJECT THESE TEACHINGS,
YOU WILL LOSE THIS KINGDOM:
Your whole thought is, when you come in here, those of you who regard this place
as an ordinary school in the world, all the lessons given to you, you would cra
m in order to reproduce during examination. There is no examination here, you ar
e expected to put all the lessons you have received into practice. To be forewar
ned is to be fore-armed; because, if you reject any of these teachings, you will
lose this Kingdom of God.
I have to use this opportunity to tell you again, Brotherhood is not a Church. Y
ou should not link it up with religion. You should not call it a Church denomina
tion. You have stayed here for a long time, and enough lessons have been given t
o you to understand the real meaning of what is a church, what is a prayer house
or what is a healing home, what is a religion or a church denomination. If you
were to understand what Brotherhood is, in coming to a school like this, the hig
hest of all the schools in the world, you would have come here with your noteboo
ks and pen to write down all the lessons given to you. You say, you are attendin
g a Bible Class, but some of you come without Bibles. You come and sit down here
like children, who go to play in the sand.
If you were to know the significance of the lessons imparted to you in Bible Cla
ss, none of you would have stopped attending Bible Class. You would have come in
here to receive lessons, and to live by these lessons; but a great many of you
come in for prayers. If there is an announcement, the Father is going to bless p
eople tomorrow, many people will drag their friends and relations to come and re
ceive blessings. When it is Bible Class you stay at home, because you will not r
eceive prayers.
PEOPLE HAVE SUFFERED BECAUSE OF REJECTING
THE TEACHINGS OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST:
Read John Chapter 12 verse 48:
He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the
word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
Brethren, have you seen why you have such heavy punishment in the world, why you
suffer tribulations and afflictions and why you have difficulties and problems?
The main reason why you suffer is, you reject Our Lord Jesus Christ and His tea
chings. You want to continue in your position of ignorance, you do not want to k
now anything. If you had wanted to know anything, you should have turned a new l
eaf.
Read John Chapter 6 verse 45:
It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man th
erefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.
Who will be ready to tell me, if he will be able to qualify in any trade, if he
does not learn by example. For example, if you want to be a qualified carpenter,
you have to go to a workshop, and use the saw, and the plane, and all the mater
ials in the carpentry workshop; in order for you, to be qualified as a carpenter
. Can you show me any trade, you have not learnt, and yet you would be able to p
ractice?
Why you complain, you have no patience is, you do not want to practice patience.
Also you cannot love, because you do not want to practice love; or any other vi
rtue of God. Everything depends on practice. All these virtues were taught to yo
u by Our Lord Jesus Christ, but you rejected them. That is why, these lessons ar
e being repeated in this last generation, so you may learn them, practice them a
nd emulate the Teacher. Therefore, you have to put everything in this school int
o practice. Most of you have been here for more than five years, some of you hav
e been here for ten years, but these ten years are nothing to you, because you w
ould merely come here to play, and still cannot differentiate between the left a
nd the right. Look at some people lying down there. They profess to have attende
d Bible Class. They are sleeping because they do not know why they are here.
When you were coming in here, which shows, you were coming for blessings, you dr
agged all your children, including your maids. When you come here to lie down, d
o you actually say, you knew, why you came here? You do not know the reason, why
you should be here. Before you know anything, which you are going to learn, you
have to know the reason why you are going to learn that thing, or your going th
ere will not bear any fruit. Unless you know the value and the significance of t
he lesson you are learning, you would not gather anything, but would rather retu
rn empty-handed.
Read Matthew Chapter 5 verses 18 and 19:
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle sha
ll in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach
men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever sh
all do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
(Matthew Chapter 5 verses 18 and 19).
The Holy Bible you are using, on which we base all the teachings of Our Lord Jes
us Christ, teaches us about the ways of God. These are the lessons I impart to y
ou. All the things, which you are taught in this New Kingdom of God are drawn fr
om the Holy Bible. In this last generation, whether you like it or not, you must
 learn the lesson, not only this lesson, but the lesson I have brought into the
world, by myself, in order to lead you, to the wisdom of the truth. How will you
know God, if you are not taught His own way?
YOU HAVE TO LEARN THE WAY OF GOD:
Read Acts Chapter 8 verses 27 to 40:
And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great author
ity under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasur
e, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,
Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.
Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.
And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said,
Understandest thou what thou readest?
And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip t
hat he would come up and sit with him.
The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the
slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:
In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his genera
tion? for his life is taken from the earth.
And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prop
het this? of himself, or of some other man?
Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto
him Jesus.
And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch sa
id, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest.
And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the wa
ter, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away
Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the citie
s, till he came to Caesarea. (Acts Chapter 8 verses 27 to 40).
Have you heard what is read to you? He did ask, "How can I know except somebody
should teach me?" I am now asking you: "how will you know God, except you are ta
ught?" "How can you be saved, except you receive and retain this teaching?" Unfo
rtunately there is no place, no University, no Trinity college, no Bible college
and no school that teaches the ways of God. I have said this because most of th
ese professors in religion and Deans of the Faculties of Religious studies of va
rious Universities from Edinburgh and Nigeria have come here; and when they come
, they are very blank, very wanting. They do not know anything.
THERE IS NO NEED TO BRING CORPSE TO CHURCHES:
Read Numbers Chapter 6 verses 6 to 8:
All the days that he separateth himself unto the LORD he shall come at no dead b
ody.
He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for his bro
ther, or for his sister, when they die: because the consecration of his God is u
pon his head.
All the days of his separation he is holy unto the LORD. (Numbers Chapter 6 vers
es 6 to 8).
Have you heard that? Now what you practice is, when somebody dies and is put in
a coffin, you take the coffin inside the church and place the coffin at the alta
r, and say, it is coming to receive blessing. Show me where that type of lesson
is derived from the Bible. Do you not see what is practiced in your forefather's
churches, when somebody dies? They ring the bell intermittently until they brin
g the dead body inside the church and place it there. That chapter in Numbers ha
s specifically told you, such a thing should not be done. You should not touch d
ead bodies, especially now that God has come down. Why should you carry dead bod
ies into the church? There is no need to bring such a thing inside a church.
You are expected to assimilate all the lessons given to you. If I really find ou
t, you do not put these lessons into practice, you are going to revise, because
there is no point your attending classes today, tomorrow you do not come in, bec
ause your lesson would not be continuous, and you would be wasting your time.
You are told specifically God is not God of the dead, but God of the living. The
refore you should not associate Him with dead things. It is said God is God of t
he living. But what happens with you? You always want to share God with the dead
. Do you want to tell me, it was very good with a young girl that she chose to l
ive with her father? What do you learn from the Epistle of Paul to the Romans?
THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH BUT
THE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE:
Read Romans Chapter 6 verse 23:
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus
Christ our Lord.
Have you heard that? Is God the God of sinful men? When you hear the word death,
it means if you sin, you must die. It is imperative, when you sin, you must die
. I teach you day by day, you should not sin so you may not die, but you continu
e in your sinful ways, and calling upon the Holy Father to help you. You are for
nicating, stealing, telling lies, indulging in concoctions and charms, but you s
till call on the Father to help you. What actually do you mean? You are mixing t
he two things together. Very many people continue in their mistaken question, "W
hy is it possible that a person stays in Brotherhood for a long time, yet he is
sick?" They further ask why somebody should die, when he is in Brotherhood. And
I ask, "why should they not die, why should they not be sick?" Do you put the wo
rds of God you receive into practice?
TO BE CARNALLY MINDED IS DEATH:
Read Romans Chapter 8 verse 6:
For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and pea
ce.
You are told to be carnally minded is death. What are you thinking of now. What
is in your mind? Tell me what you are thinking of now. Is it not carnal things,
material things? How you would build skyscraper, buy luxurious motor ars, how yo
u would get so much money in the bank, and so on and so forth? When you are thin
king about all these things, which way are you going? Are you not carnally minde
d? Which means, you have to die. Each and everyone of you has a request on the L
ord's table. Every time that is what brings you in here. You are coming to ask f
or one thing or the other. You request for yourself, you request for your childr
en, you request for your parents, you request for your relatives and request for
your friends. The summary of it all is, you are beggars. If you were to regard
this place as the highest institution in this universe, you would not come here
as beggars because I have taught you repeatedly, and have emphasized, you should
not beg. The scriptures have confirmed this, but you continue to beg. Were you
not told this by Our Lord Jesus Christ according to what is recorded in Saint Jo
hn's Gospel?
Read John Chapter 16 verses 12 to 15:
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 shew you things to come.
He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take o
f mine, and shall shew it unto you. (John Chapter 16 verses 12 to 15).
Are you being taken by surprise? If you were to follow what is recorded in the F
irst Step to God, put all those things into practice, and refrain from all those
things, you should refrain from; and do those things, you have to do, then you
would not have any problems. You would not be sick. There would be no death. The
re would be no poverty or wretchedness. In fact, you would be so elevated, you w
ould walk above the ground.
Read John Chapter 13 verses 14 and 15:
We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren.
He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.
Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath et
ernal life abiding in him. (John Chapter 13 verses 14 and 15).
LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS CHRIST LOVES YOU:
Have you seen that lesson which has been given to you by Our Lord Jesus Christ,
you should love one another, even as he loves you? This means, if you love every
person you have come out from death into life, there is no cause of stumbling w
hatsoever. You are always walking in the light, and therefore, have no trouble.
All those who hate their brethren have already prepared their coffins and graves
; and so, they can die at anytime. You may have millions of children, a fleet of
motor cars and skyscrapers, but once you hate your brother, you are but a few y
ards to the grave. Once you hate your brother, your name has been removed from t
he book of life. Therefore, you are at the beck and call of death at any time.
Have you ever noticed me telling lies? Have you ever heard, I bear grudge or mal
ice against any person? Have you ever seen me being exasperated or annoyed with
any person? Have I ever said woe unto you? Once you indulge in any of these thin
gs you are already dead.
You know about ghost, mermaid, witchcraft, concoction and charms and such like t
hings, but fail to know, anybody who hates his brother is worthy of death. Who i
s the cause of your trouble? Before you left your house to come to the Bible Cla
ss, you quarrelled a little with your wife, you struggled with your children. Ha
ve you not been angry since morning?
I do not know why, you like to be concerned with other people's business? If som
ebody has his car and chooses to drive it backwards, is it your business? Even i
f he drives it sideways, what is your concern about it? If somebody buys his clo
thes from the market, he can choose to put it on the buttocks, on the neck, he c
an wear it anyhow. You have no reason to criticize or look at it. If somebody is
able to put the words of God into practice, to show himself as a child of God,
what business is it of yours? If another person is not able to practice the word
of God, why should you be concerned about it? Have you heard, immediately you s
ay unto someone, woe unto you, you have placed yourself under judgement? Tell me
how you will quarrel with one another without saying to him, woe unto you, sinc
e you want to utter something from your mouth that will annoy that person; and t
hat person will retaliate by uttering all sorts of things against you. When you
utter things like these from your mouth, where are you? Are you not placing your
selves under the tentacles of death? Have you seen any person, who has committed
a crime, and who had not already been angry? Once you are angry and continue to
commit sins, the Holy Spirit has gone out from you, and so the demon will actua
lly take possession of you. It is, therefore, not given to any person to be angr
y.
You should not call any person a stupid fellow. Do not say, "woe unto you." You
should not say any type of cursing language on any person. Everyday you hold a v
ery huge volume of the Bible, and when you are asked where you are going, you re
ply, you are going to Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, but you are still angry
, still quarrelling, still fighting and still telling people "woe unto you." Whe
n you do and say all those things, does it portray you as a Brotherhood member?
Have you not realized, Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is no Church, not a pra
yer house, but it is a school, and I am coming to teach you the way of God? Huma
n beings, the animals in the bush, the fishes in the water, the trees in the for
est, creeping things, angels; in the Hades and everywhere, I am coming to teach
all the inhabitants in all places of life, these teachings. If you put them into
practice, you will be elevated and you will have joy.
Read Matthew Chapter 5 verse 19:
Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach
men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever sh
all do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
What are these laws?
Read Proverbs Chapter 31 verses 1 to 7:
The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him.
What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son of my vows?
Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.
It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for prince
s strong drink:
Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the affl
icted.
Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be
of heavy hearts.
Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more. (Proverb
s Chapter 31 verses 1 to 7).
DO NOT DRINK AND DO NOT OFFER WINE:
You must not drink anything called wine. It is not in our program. In fact you s
hould not know that language at all; whether hot, strong or soft drink, you are
not expected to take any of them. In this New Kingdom of God, it is sinful to dr
ink. I have not given my orders yet. If I give the orders, any person seen with
a cup of wine, would not be a Brotherhood member.
Have you heard the instruction of God? I am emphasizing all those instructions.
I am here to confirm them. You should not drink anything at all, whether it be p
alm wine, whether it is cocoa cream, kola, whiskey or anything made from sugar o
r saccharine. Anything called wine, you are not expected to drink. If you drink,
it means, you have not been born again; and whatever happens to you, you have y
ourself to blame.
Read Numbers Chapter 6 verses 1 to 5:
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When either man or woman s
hall separate themselves to vow a vow of a Nazarite, to separate themselves unto
the LORD:
He shall separate himself from wine and strong drink, and shall drink no vinegar
of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grape
s, nor eat moist grapes, or dried.
All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine tre
e, from the kernels even to the husk.
All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor come upon his hea
d: until the days be fulfilled, in the which he separateth himself unto the LORD
, he shall be holy, and shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow. (Numbe
rs Chapter 6 verses 1 to 5).
After reading that lesson you will know where you stand. You claim to be a Broth
erhood member. Some of you claim to be Pastors, Evangelists, Apostles and Prophe
ts; some Students and Christ Servants, yet you are still drinking. When that tex
t is read to you, you will know your empty position.
Did Our Lord Jesus Christ set the commandments aside? Have you read anywhere in
the Bible, Our Lord Jesus Christ has set aside the commandments of God? I am her
e to confirm them.
If you continue to drink, you are dead and have a mark on your forehead inscribe
d 'C' which means condemned. The angel of death is always there to snatch you at
any time. Any person who drinks is a slave to Satan. He can deal with you any h
ow, and you have no opportunity to ask him any question, because you are his sla
ve. Therefore, he has the effrontery to kick you anyhow. Have you ever seen a dr
unkard doing any useful thing or anything good? He sets a house on fire, quarrel
s, fornicates and steals and can go naked, because he is a senseless person; and
therefore, can behave anyhow.
All he knows is to go to his office, collect his salary, and will not reach home
, but will remain in a drinking parlor, and his disciples will be there with him
. He would order for bottles and bottles of drinks and will drink until he would
not know how to put on his trousers again. He will begin to fumble and after fi
nishing his salary there, he will go home empty. The women in the hotel would st
udy him; know, such people are intoxicated, they would go to entice him, and whe
n they realize, he does not know themselves, the women would put their hands int
o the man's pockets, and remove all his money.
Since these men do not know themselves, they would go away and the following day
they would put their hands in their pockets, and when they do not find any mone
y they would say, it is wizard, juju and mermaid that have removed their money.
Tell any person in the world, if any person has in his mind to come to Brotherho
od, he should not drink again, whether strong or soft, hot or cold. Right now th
e worldly people know, we do not drink and do not buy drinks for people. Whether
in your office, your houses or at any place, you are not expected to drink nor
should you buy drinks for people.
From time to time, I do give you these lessons, you have failed to comply with t
he instructions given to you. If your brother had the intention of coming to Bro
therhood and yet he is still drinking, you should allow him to stay on and drink
. When he comes in here, he has to take all the papers in the examination before
he can be promoted. If he continues to drink, it means, he has not passed that
paper, and cannot be promoted. That is why, the people of the world are abusing
members of Brotherhood and the Holy Father and say all sorts of things, because
they have stopped the people from drinking.
Read Habakkuk Chapter 2 verse 15:
Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest thy bottle to him, an
d makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness!
Who has said these words? Is it not God? Did Jesus Christ set aside these words.
He did not set them aside but confirmed them, and I am here to confirm these sa
me words. If you see any person who buys drinks for other people, you should pra
y for such a person. If you indulge in giving drinks to people, pray for yoursel
f. Some people in Brotherhood say, we cannot do without, we must give drink, bec
ause we are business people. Does God know business people? Some people say, the
y are Civil Servants and the position they occupy is such, they must give drinks
to people. Have you heard what is said there? It is said, "woe unto you."
I do not think, there is any position in the whole of this universe, which is up
to one ninetieth of my own. Have I ever given you wine to drink? Have I ever to
ld you to bring drinks here? If you see, wine is not good, why do you give it to
other people? If there is anyone of you who recommends drinking of wine, I want
you to prove to me and others the importance of drinking right now. You are the
temple of the living God. Therefore, if you take a sip of wine, the smell, or o
dor that comes out of it, you have already defiled yourself, and you get punishm
ent.
Instead of going to preach to people in your homes, offices, market places God w
ants them to refrain from drinking, smoking, stealing, giving and taking bribes,
fornication and all other vices, you go about shouting, Olumba Olumba Obu is Je
hovah God, He is Jesus. Have you ever seen Jehovah?
Read Matthew Chapter 5 verses 17 and 18:
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to d
estroy, but to fulfil.
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle sha
ll in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. (Matthew Chapter 5 verse
s 17 and 18).
Most of you are here today, because Men's Fellowship wants to hold its Anniversa
ry. After today, most of you will not come here again, for the next one year. Th
is is a place you should be begging the Father to give you admission; so that, y
ou may come in here every time. Is there any need, for somebody begging you to c
ome in here? It will not be long before this place will be occupied by the white
s; those who know the importance of coming to Bible Class, and receiving this le
sson.
Have you heard what the Bible says? Later on you would go about distorting facts
and saying, the Holy Father says this and that. I have not said anything apart
from confirming what is written in the Bible.
What do you preach? What has been your job? Right now, you have so many people d
rinking, and the so called church dignitaries drink everywhere. If you go out no
w you would see many people drinking. That is an opportunity for you to go to th
ose places and preach to them, it is not good for them to drink. Go to the Bisho
ps, the Pastors, the Evangelists and tell them, they should not drink, they shou
ld not snuff, they should not smoke.
When you enter into somebody's compound, you would say, "I am coming to give you
prayers." What sort of prayer is that? If you give somebody the words of God, y
ou shall have healed him. The single word of God he has heard will become a pray
er for healing him. They do not actually need your prayers. What they actually r
equire is the word of God. That is what will heal him and will give him comfort.
Right now people claim, God helps those who help themselves. What about the wri
ting in Exodus. Was that particular Chapter set aside?
Read Exodus Chapter 20 verses 1 to 26:
And God spake all these words, saying,
I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of
the house of bondage.
Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing tha
t is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water u
nder the earth:
Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God
am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto th
e third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thous
ands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not
hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do
any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidserva
nt, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is
, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the
sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which
the LORD thy God giveth thee.
Thou shalt not kill.
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Thou shalt not steal.
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's
wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any
thing that is thy neighbour's.
And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the
trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, an
d stood afar off.
And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God
speak with us, lest we die.
And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that
his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.
And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where
God was.
And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Y
e have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of
gold.
An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt
offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in all places wh
ere I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee.
And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn ston
e: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.
Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not dis
covered thereon. (Exodus Chapter 20 verses 1 to 26).
Have you heard the words of God? What about you now? You say, you have got tradi
tions, and you do not want to deviate from what your fore-fathers had done. You
want to keep that tradition and worship those idols and continue in their old wa
ys, but have you heard the instructions given by God from the beginning of time?
Right now in the various church denominations a preacher would stand in the pulp
it and preach, God helps those who help themselves. When they say this, does it
therefore mean, that passage of the Bible has been extracted; which says, "Thou
shall not have any likeness of anything, Thou shall not make unto thyself any gr
aven image." Does it mean, that portion is now taken OUT when you begin to say,
when God helps you, you help yourself?
Here is another law, "Honor thy father and thy mother that thou mayest live long
on this earth." Right now, do you honor your parents? You are scolding, insulti
ng and abusing them. You should understand, if you do not honor your father and
mother, your living days on this earth will be cut short.
Read Matthew Chapter 15 verse 4:
For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth fa
ther or mother, let him die the death.
These are the lessons you should carry to people outside, teach the Brotherhood
members, teach your father, mother, children, wife, brothers, sisters, friends a
nd all the churches, in the market places and offices. Tell them, it is the full
ness of time, they should put these things into practice.
Read Ephesians Chapter 6 verses 2 and 3:
Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;)
That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. (Ephesian
s Chapter 6 verses 2 and 3).
PREACH TO ALL, TO ESCHEW ALL VICES, AND HONOR ALL:
These are the lessons you should teach to the people outside. Do not invite peop
le to come to Brotherhood, and do not tell people, you are a Brotherhood member.
Do not condemn any church, rather you should go and teach them not to drink, sm
oke, snuff, fornicate, and not to commit any of the vices. Go to the schools and
obtain permission from the Headmasters that you are coming to teach the words o
f God. Tell them not to drink. Go to the Courts and to the Governor's Office, Go
vernment Departments, Firms, Market Places and everywhere, and teach the people
the lessons which you have been given this night. Tell all and sundry, they shou
ld not drink, fornicate or indulge in any of the vices, because this is the full
ness of time, and unless they are careful, they are bound to be destroyed.
You should go from house to house and preach to the wives to be submissive to th
eir husbands. Tell them, it is not good for the married women to commit adultery
and fornication; and preach to the men to love their wives, and to keep steady
with them at home. If you do this you will see, you will be invited by people to
come and preach to them.
Churches, schools, and market men and women will also invite you to preach to th
em. There will be nowhere, you will go to preach, and people will not accept you
.
Your trouble is, you have indulged in concoctions and charms, therefore, people
are prepared to beat you up, to kick you and to do anything with you. You, there
fore, cannot ask any questions, because you are a slave to them.
Read Acts Chapter 7 verses 40 to 42:
Saying unto Aaron, Make us gods to go before us: for as for this Moses, which br
ought us out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rej
oiced in the works of their own hands.
Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is writte
n in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain
beasts and sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness? (Acts Chap
ter 7 verses 40 to 42).
Have you seen why you suffer? It is because you go to the soothsayers, the necro
mancers, the herbalists and juju doctors to prepare charms, talisman and concoct
ions for you. When you do, God surrenders you to those, who will torture, punish
and oppress you. The other way in which you receive punishment is that from the
day in which you decide to take care of yourself, and protect yourself, and you
want to become a man, and look for protective charms, to guard yourself against
any charm from any person, you are given up to the person, who will torture you
.
Read Romans Chapter 1 verse 21:
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were th
ankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darke
ned.
Go and preach those things to the people of the world. The field is all white bu
t there are no laborers. When you preach these things to them, they will be sile
nt. Have you heard what is said about soothsayers and necromancers? If your fath
er, grandfather, uncle or brother is a necromancer or soothsayer, he is already
dead, he is a man of destruction and a child of perdition. He cannot see the lig
ht of day, because he is a drunkard, he snuffs and smokes, and also indulges in
concoctions and charms and therefore he is not fit to live. He deceives and is a
n extortioner, and is not fit to live.
Read Revelation Chapter 21 verse 8:
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremo
ngers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the
lake, which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Have you seen the reward of those people who say, let us go and meet the soothsa
yer, the juju doctor or let us go to consult oracle and see what will happen? Ha
ve you seen where they will be? There is no salvation for them.
RECONCILE WITH YOUR ENEMY BEFORE YOU PRAY:
Read Matthew Chapter 5 verses 23 to 26:
Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy br
other hath ought against thee;
Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to th
y brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at
any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to
the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast p
aid the uttermost farthing. (Matthew Chapter 5 verses 23 to 26).
Why do you profess to be a Brotherhood member, when you bear malice against your
brother, you do not exchange greetings, and you are always fastidious against t
he other person? What type of Brotherhood member are you? It is because you, who
come here, refuse to put the words of God into practice; that is why, people bl
aspheme against the ways of God. You bear malice against people. You quarrel wit
h people in the compound. There is no peace in the family. Your nearest neighbor
s are at daggers drawn with you.
You quarrel with every person, yet you come in here and struggle to pray. When y
ou stand up to say, "let thanks and praises be given to God," to whom do you wan
t to pray? You should shut up and go and sit down until you settle your dispute
with your brother first before you come in here to pray. Have you seen your trou
bles?
It does not appear to me, you desire to receive the words of God. You are only c
oming here for bread and fish. You come here so that you may get children, wife,
husband or so that you may not be sick, and get all such carnal things. You do
not really come here to practice the words of God.
Read Colossians Chapter 3 verse 9:
Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
Those who have ears to hear let them hear. May God bless His Holy Words.
Amen.
THANK YOU FATHER.
