FIRST BIBLE LESSON: FIRST CORINTHIANS 11:3

But I would have you know that the head of every man is
Christ and the head of every woman is the man, and the
head of Christ is God.
SECOND BIBLE LESSON: FIRST TIMOTHY 2:8
I will therefore that men pray everywhere , lifting up
holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
GOLDEN TEXT: JAMES 4:8
Draw nigh to God and He will draw nigh to you. Cleanse
your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double
minded.
ANALOGY OF THE EAGLE AND MAN:
The bird called Eagle is the king of birds. Once
upon a time, a certain farmer caught one of the eaglets
and brought it to his house. This young eagle grew up
among the chickens and ate food which was fed to the
fowls. After a while, a certain naturalist came and saw
the eaglet and he informed the farmer that the bird he
saw looked like an eaglet. Then he expressed surprise
to see how the young eagle could manage to mix up
very freely with the fowls, whereas it was supposed to
be the king of all the birds.
The farmer replied that for certain this bird was
hitherto an eagle but ever since he had reared it and
kept it among the fowls, it had changed and it was

behaving exactly like the fowls. The naturalist told this

man that the eagle would one day fly back to its
parents, but the farmer said it would never happen, so
long as the eaglet grew up among the fowls and it was
used to behaving like the domestic birds. It was not
possible for it to be re-converted. The naturalist was
cynical about this statement and he thought it all to be
mere a illusion.
So the following morning, the naturalist called upon
the eaglet and said,"Little Eagle, remember that you are
by nature an eagle and naturally so you are the king of
birds, you can look up and raise your head, it is
humiliating that you should be here, it is quite
appropriate that you should go back to your parents and
stop eating with the fowls."
The naturalist shouted again,"Eagle, Eagle, go back
to your parents, look up, you are a king of the birds, it is
disgraceful that you should be among the chickens." The
naturalist continued to repeat this action daily for days
but his host was not in the same school of thought with
him. He was firmly believing that the eagle could not fly
back, but the naturalist assured him that the bird would
one day fly back to its natural habitat.
One fine day, as God would have it, the eagle,
started flying and rising higher and higher until it flew
away. What does this illustration explain to you and
whom does this story refer?
MAN'S FAILURE TO EXERCISE AUTHORITY OVER OTHER
CREATIONS:
God has given authority to man to rule and to
superintend over all creations. IT IS THEREFORE
INCUMBENT UPON MAN TO REALIZE THAT OUR LORD

JESUS CHRIST IS THE HEAD OF MAN, AND MAN IS ALSO

THE HEAD OF WOMAN AND THE HEAD OF CHRIST IS
GOD. But right now, man does not seem to recognize his
importance and responsibility. Just as Our Lord Jesus
Christ suffered to save the church, so also must a man
suffer to save the woman. Our Lord Jesus Christ is
under God, man is under Our Lord Jesus Christ and a
woman is eventually under man.
IN THE SAME LIGHT AS GOD IS THE DOMINEERING
AUTHORITY OVER THE WHOLE WORLD, SO IS OUR LORD
JESUS CHRIST THE DOMINEERING AND OVERALL
AUTHORITY OVER ALL MANKIND, SO SHOULD MAN
EXECUTE THE OVERALL AUTHORITY OVER THE WOMAN.
But right now, a man and a woman are all alike and more
often than not, a woman can even do better than a man.
If you see the way men celebrate their functions or
conduct themselves on any occasion, you would laugh
so much that you may become sick. Whenever the men
want to celebrate any occasion they invite the women
to come and stimulate the occassion for them, and they
would even emulate the women.
MEN DO NOT RECOGNIZE THEIR MASTER:
AS A RESULT OF THEIR REFUSAL TO RECOGNIZE
OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST AS THEIR HEAD, LORD AND
MASTER, THEY ARE JUST GROPING IN THE DARK AND
THEY DO NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO DO.
BUT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS UNDER GOD AND
HE HAS RECOGNIZED HIS FATHER AND GOD AS SUCH.
SIMILARLY MAN SHOULD BE UNDER CHRIST AS WOMAN
OUGHT TO BE UNDER THE MAN. If you go to the
churches, the women are in the majority and man has

delegated his responsibilities to the women and they

term is as something belonging to the women and
children.
UNLESS MAN RECOGNIZES CHRIST HE CANNOT RULE:
THE SCRIPTURES HAVE SAID THAT EVERY MAN IS
UNDER OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST AND IT IS INCUMBENT
UPON EVERY MAN TO GO AND RECEIVE THE TEACHINGS
AND INSTRUCTIONS FROM HIM. IT STAND TO REASON
THAT IF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST DOES NOT REIGN,
NOBODY ELSE SHOULD REIGN. HE IS THE HEAD OF
EVERY MAN, AND IF A MAN WANTS TO CRY, HE CAN DO
SO, AND OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST CANNOT BE
PERTURBED.
You can now see the reason why every man has
become the humiliated eagle which is found among the
fowls, whereas it is the king of all the birds.
You should all come to the realization of this truth,
THAT UNLESS THE LORD BUILD THE HOUSE, THEY
LABOR IN VAIN THAT BUILD IT. NO MAN CAN RULE A
WOMAN ALONE WITHOUT CHRIST AND IT IS DEFINITELY
IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE BOTH OF THEM BELONG TO
CHRIST. THERE IS ONE SPIRITUAL SONG WHICH SAYS
WHEN YOU FIGHT A WAR WITH GOD ON YOUR OWN
SIDE, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE VICTORIOUS. RIGHT NOW
MEN HAVE REJECTED OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST AND IT
THEN MEANS THAT THEY HAVE EQUALLY REJECTED
GOD.
YOU CAN SEE THAT MANKIND SUFFERS UNTOLD
HARDSHIPS, POVERTY, AND WRETCHEDNESS, SICKNESS
AND DEATH BECAUSE MAN HAS REJECTED THE DIVINE
RULE OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. IF YOU DO NOT

HAVE CHRIST JESUS, WHO ELSE WOULD GIVE YOU THE

AUTHORITY TO RULE?
God had purposely kept man to superintend over all
his creations. RIGHT NOW SINCE YOU DO NOT HAVE
OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR OWN HEAD, HOW DO
YOU COPE WITH THE SITUATION?
MEN AND WOMEN'S FELLOWSHIPS MUST HAVE CHRIST
AS THEIR FOUNDATION:
The men's Fellowship was first inaugurated in 1956,
but this is the first time it has been fixed in the calendar
of events as a whole week's celebration. The Women's
Fellowship was simultaneously inaugurated along with
the Men's Fellowship. But because of the refusal by men
to recognize their Lord and Master, Our Lord Jesus
Christ, they have degenerated to the lowest ebb. Our
Lord Jesus Christ had said "IF YOU ABIDE IN ME, I WILL
ALSO ABIDE IN YOU, BECAUSE WITHOUT ME, YOU
CANNOT DO ANYTHING AND YOU CAN NEVER YIELD
ANY GOOD FRUIT."
THE MEN ARE THE PEOPLE PERSECUTING OUR
LORD JESUS CHRIST. YOU ARE THE PEOPLE RESISTING
HIS WILL AND YOU ARE ALSO THOSE WHO ARE TRYING
TO RUB SHOULDERS WITH HIM, SAYING HE IS A HUMAN
BEING AND WE ARE ALSO HUMAN BEING.
It is you also who cause division by saying that you
are equally capable of doing what He can do; and as a
result of that you cannot even rule your own household
efficiently, and you have become incapacitated in
almost all things. YOU CANNOT CONTROL YOURSELF,
YOUR CHILDREN, NOR OTHER CREATIONS OF GOD,
OVER WHICH YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO RULE, AND YOU
ARE RIGHT NOW BEING RULED BY THE VERY THINGS

OVER WHICH YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO RULE. YET YOU

ARE LIKE THE EAGLE, THE KING OF ALL BIRDS!
MEN SURRENDER THEIR NATURAL DUTIES TO WOMEN:
Brethren, God knows why He allows certain
situations to occur so that in the course of such events
occurring, men might recognize their absolute
nakedness. It is common knowledge that men have
become women and vice-versa. But all these are at
variance with the scriptures. THE BIBLE SAYS THAT A
WOMAN SHOULD HONOR THE MAN, AND THE MAN MUST
RECIPROCATE THIS GESTURE BY LOVING HIS WIFE
DEARLY. But men are now doing the exact opposite: they
rather want women to love them, pay their house rents,
pay the children's school fees and in fact undertake all
the responsibilities a man is supposed to shoulder,
including sending the children to the universities or for
further studies.
Many men surrender the family to the women to
undertake all the domestic responsibilities. They run
away from their children. When the children have any
complaints they refer them to their mothers for solution.
This is the very opposite of what they were supposed to
do. The Father does not know whether or not the
members of the family have had any food or not, they try
one way or the other to shirk their responsibilities to
the members of their family. The father does not know
whether or not a child is clothed or fed.
Right now the men are fond of sending their wives
and children away from their matrimonial homes,
thereby defiling the marriage institution with impunity.
It happens that if a man divorces his wife, he will also

want to divorce his children, quite contrary to the social

system, its values and norms. If the child commits a
little offense, he would cash in on that and would take
the advantage of that to malign the mother to his
satisfaction and would even say that the child was the
replica of the evil mother, forgetting entirely that the
blood tendencies are the sole responsibility of the
parents of the children.
MAN'S RESPONSIBILITY:
Who brought the bad child into the world and whose
blood is that? It is his blood and the replica of both
parties. It is the responsibility of the man to own the
wife and children and take great care of them all by
giving them food, clothing, and also in making sure that
they remain healthy at all times. The man as the head of
the family, has to shoulder all the responsibilities
internally and externally, he feeds and clothes
everybody including the wife.
MEN SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF SHIRKING DIVINE
DUTIES:
The children that a man possesses are the replica
of himself and the wife, because a woman can never be
impregnated without the involvement of a man in sexual
intimacy. But recently men tend to reject their children
by accusing their wives falsely in order to evade the
responsibility of taking care of the children. Brethren,
that is the problem which is besetting the entire
inhabitants of the world. The reason why a man is
having so much problem is because he has denied Our
Lord Jesus Christ as being the head.

MAN'S EGO CREATES VICES:

Right now a woman is doing much better than a man
and there is no good thing which a man is capable of
doing, BECAUSE MINUS OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, MAN
CANNOT DO ANYTHING ON HIS OWN. This gospel is for
men and they ought to cover their faces in shame
because they shirk the divine responsibilities given to
them.
THE MEN ARE THE PEOPLE WHO SHOULD LISTEN
TO THE TEACHINGS OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST AND
PRACTICE HIS INJUNCTIONS. But what do they do?
They take to anger, and other vices. They harbor people
in their minds; they judge and blackmail one another
and they would not see anything good in others, except
themselves, quite contrary to the Bible teachings. Men
glory in fighting one another and in making things
difficult for their fellow brother or sister. They would
always spend pretty long periods in vain glories and in
useless arguments and as busybodies, they even spend
valuable times in unprofitable ventures. They are always
delighted in what may hurt the feeling of others.
MAN MUST POSSESS ATTRIBUTES OF GOD:
A man should not engage himself in all these vices,
rather a man should possess love, peace, humility,
meekness, patience, and all other attributes of God. A
man should keep his heart from all sorts of impurities,
he should be honest, truthful, and he should also have
adequate self-control at all times. He should not be a
liar, a thief, because once a man is a thief, the whole
world would be disorganized, and there is apt to be

tension.
WOMAN BY NATURE IS MORE AMENABLE THAN MEN
ARE:
It is tolerable for a woman to be pardoned when she
commits an offense, because a man as the head of a
woman can correct her but if a man commits any
offense, nobody can really correct him. For example, if
it were the sisters who were the highway robbers, they
would be forcibly made to stop, but now that the men
are doing the stealing, and the highway robberies, there
seem to be no solutions to all kinds of stealing and
highway robberies all over the world. If all the
prostitution and the idolatry were committed by women,
men could have compelled them to discontinue. But now
that the men are doing the hideous jobs themselves, the
whole thing has been left like that. If the women had
been behaving like men, they, the men would have died
of hunger, now that the men are eating the food of the
fowls.
You are all witnesses that the women are just like
the small children. They can easily reconcile with
people who wrong them just like little children can do,
without any element of bitterness. If a man is angry so
many people would go to plead with him for forgiveness
for whoever has wronged him, and he would not budge.
IF A MAN WHO IS SUPPOSED TO PLAY A LEADING ROLE
IS THIEF, IT IS THEN QUITE CONCLUSIVE THAT THE
SHEEP OF GOD WOULD SUFFER AND WOULD BE LED
ASTRAY AND THE WHOLE CONGREGATION WOULD
CONTINUE TO BE CONTAMINATED.

MAN'S CAPABILITY AS A CARETAKER HAS FALLEN

SHORT OF EXPECTATION:
God surrendered the whole world into the hands of
man, but where is the man who is capable of controlling
the complex system? Adam was mandated by God to
take superintendence over all His creations, but right
now man has resorted to seeking protection and help
from trees, stones, rivers, forests, mountains, fishes,
sun, moon, and from all other creations of God. It is
rather amazing to see how man has so belittled himself.
It is shameful.
MAN'S FAILURE MADE CHRIST TO COME:
THAT WAS WHY WHEN OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
SAW WHAT WAS HAPPENING ON EARTH, THE PLIGHT OF
THE SUFFERING HUMANITY, HE DECIDED TO COME
DOWN TO EARTH, IN ORDER TO REVERSE AND RESTORE
THE POSITION OF MAN TO THE ORIGINAL POSITION SO
THAT THE PARADISE LOST MIGHT BE REGAINED. THE
WOMEN ARE VERY HUMBLE AND ACCOMMODATING BUT
MEN ARE FOND OF SEGREGATING AND THEY ARE ALSO
HOSTILE.
When Our Lord Jesus Christ was nailed to the
Cross, it was the women who cried, but the men were so
hard-hearted and they did the actual killing of Our Lord
Jesus Christ. You can imagine a woman who is staying
alone and who is also childless. You would realize that
she is already dead, whereas the woman who is staying
with a man has confidence in the man, and it was the
injunction of God that a woman should be under a man.
THE VERY FACT THAT MAN HAS REJECTED THE
GOSPELS OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST MEANS THAT HE

HAS EQUALLY LOST THE HIS SONSHIP OF GOD.

MAN IS EMPTY WITHOUT THE WORD OF

GOD:
IF A MAN DOES NOT ACCEPT THE WORD OF GOD,
HE CAN NEVER DO THE WILL OF GOD, AND WHEN THE
WORD OF GOD DWELLS RICHLY IN YOUR HEART, YOU
CAN THEN HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. IF YOU DO NOT ALLOW
THE WORD OF GOD TO ABIDE IN YOU, HOW WILL YOU BE
ABLE TO BRING UP YOUR FAMILY IN THE TEACHINGS
AND WISDOM OF TRUTH?
THESE ARE THE PROBLEMS BESETTING YOU.
HOWEVER A BLIND MAN CANNOT LEAD ANOTHER BLIND
MAN, OTHERWISE THEY ALL WILL FALL INTO A PIT. THE
DOWNFALL OF MANKIND IN THE WORLD TODAY IS THAT
ALL HAVE REJECTED CHRIST AND PUSHED HIM TO THE
BACKGROUND. CONSEQUENTLY, THERE IS NO MAN WHO
CAN CONTROL HIS OWN HOUSE.
PEACE IN THE FAMILY DEPENDS ON MAN HARKENING
TO THE WORD OF GOD.
The father and the mother are all in fear. Every man
is inclined to worshipping stones, trees, mermaids,
angels, sun, and moons as though any of these created
things can ever give life or protection. You as a man,
you are supposed to be the head of the household,
including your wife and children.
When the fore stream is clean, the water gushing
out from it must certainly be clean. IF THE MAN AS THE
HEAD OF THE FAMILY HEARS THE GOSPELS AND PUTS
THEM INTO PRACTICE, THEN THE WIFE AND CHILDREN
WILL ALSO FOLLOW SUIT.

IF YOU HEAR THE WORD OF GOD, WHICH IS CHRIST

JESUS AND YOU IMPART SAME TO YOUR WIFE AND
CHILDREN, THEN YOUR HOUSE WILL BE IN PEACE ND
OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WILL COME AND TAKE
DOMINION OVER THE ENTIRE HOUSE AND YOU WILL
HAVE NO PROBLEMS. But instead of you to give your
wife and children the word of God, you prefer to quarrel
and show very bad examples to your growing children.
You would rather give your children drinks, and also
inject black powder into their bodies instead of THE
WORD OF GOD. You would tell those who bring the
WORD OF GOD to go away, because your policy is to
seek protection through esoteric means in accordance
with your belief that heaven helps those who help
themselves.
NOBODY CAN RULE WITHOUT POWER:
It is one thing to be a paramount ruler of an area,
but to be able to rule your subjects, it also another
matter. If the chief has no power to rule his subjects it
is certain that his subjects must rule him. The men are
supposed to rule properly, their houses, otherwise
certain inevitable things would cause them to be
declared as wanted persons. God did not create a
woman to rule over a man. BUT RIGHT NOW MAN HAS
MESSED UP HIS POSITION BY REJECTING THE
TEACHINGS OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. MAN HAS
ALSO FAILED TO RECOGNIZE OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.
A MAN, HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN ARE NOW EQUAL:
Two cocks should never crow on the same roof. But
right now more than two are doing so on the same roof.

The reason is that the wife and children have now

allotted to themselves some sort of authority and each
wants to enforce his or her own authority over the
others. You have been hearing that a good number of
people use to commit suicide by shooting themselves to
death. This is hardly ever heard of among women. Men
are always confused. They have sleepless nights simply
because they tend to carry one kind of burden or the
other which is heavier than they can carry.
You all are told that the serpent deceived the
woman, but has the man not been equally deceived? A
woman can say I have refrained from fornication, but
you as a man and the head of the woman still keep on
indulging in vices, particularly fornication and adultery.
A man has misused his authority over the woman in the
house, because in certain situations when wrong
decisions had been taken, where he is connected, he
will make wrong use of his veto power.

TWO WIVES STRAIN FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS:

If you happen to marry two wives, the situation will
even be worse, because you would rather want to
impose the wishes of your most beloved wife on the less
fortunate one and you would eventually send away the
one you do not love so much. This situation is not a new
thing. It is something that had happened even during the
era of King David. THAT IS WHY GOD HAS GIVEN YOU
HIS INJUNCTION AND IF YOU ALLOW GOD TO LEAD YOU
IN WHATEVER YOU DO, YOU WILL BE VICTORIOUS.
RESULT OF MAN'S SUBJECTION TO GOD:

GOD DID NOT GIVE THE RULERSHIP TO A WOMAN

BUT TO A MAN. HOWEVER IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE
ATTITUDE OF THE MAN TOWARDS GOD THE CREATOR.
WHEN IT IS SAID THAT YOUR HOUSE IS GOOD AND
THERE IS PEACE AND TRANQUILITY, OR THAT THIS OR
THAT TOWN IS GOOD, MAN IS INSTRUMENTAL. WHEN IT
IS SAID THAT A NATION OR MATRIMONIAL HOME IS
GOOD, THE MAN IS RESPONSIBLE. A woman in the
house is just like a fowl, wherever and whenever some
maize is thrown, the fowl would anxiously run to that
direction to go and eat. But right now the man is equally
like the fowl, he runs towards the direction the maize
could be found so that he may eat it.
Today is the day the Father has chosen to remind all
men to come to the full realization of themselves and
their responsibilities towards women because God
appointed them to be heads and to superintend over all
other creations of God. It would therefore be suicidal to
shirk those divine responsibilities bestowed on man by
God. Man must be able to provide for all the women's
necessities at all cost.
FIRST BIBLE LESSON: 1ST CORINTHIANS 11:3
"But I would have you know that the head of every man
is Christ, and the head of the woman is the man and the
head of Christ is God."
Brethren, have you heard that? Do you know that
Our Lord Jesus Christ is the head of every man? And
man is the head of every woman?
A WOMAN SHOULD NOT RULE OVER A MAN:
Therefore it is wrong for a woman to try to lord it

over a man. It is also not proper for a wife to advise the

man. It is also wrong for a woman to buy articles of
clothing for the husband and for the children and to take
the responsibility of maintaining the family single
handedly. It is an abomination for a man to boast that,"
The woman has bought clothing for me as well as a pair
of shoes." That is eating the food meant for fowls. If
your wife gives you all these things what would you give
to her?
If a woman builds a house for you and you go to live
with her in her house, what would be your responsibility
as a man? Some men are saying, "If it were not for my
wife, I would have nothing to eat, she takes care of the
children in the school, and the entire domestic chores."
Such an irresponsible man had better die than live. That
is why eventually, such men do not take decisions alone
without consulting their wives as the final arbiters or
umpires. And if it happens that the woman does not love
you from the bottom of her heart, then definitely she
would take such decisions that would boomerang with
serious and dangerous consequences.
The work of men is love, care for the family and
make sure that the members of the family are brought
up in the wisdom and teachings of God. Taking
decisions for the overriding interest of the family is the
sole responsibility of the man. It is a shameful situation
when the man evades the responsibilities to his family
such as feeding and training the children in school and
should relinquish the responsibility to the wife. It is also
a shameful situation to see that your children are
thieves and vagabonds going about the whole place
aimlessly and you leave the responsibility of nurturing

them completely to the hands of the woman. It is your

duty to discipline your wife and children, bring them up
in the fear and nurture of God. It is the responsibility of
the man to teach his family to in theory and in practice
to grow in the fear and love of God. They should be
taught how to be humble, patient, loving, enduring, and
generous to everybody in the world. BUT YOU SHOULD
LOOK TO JEHOVAH GOD AND HIS CHRIST AS THE ONLY
SOURCE OF YOUR INSPIRATION AND GUIDANCE AND
YOU SHOULD ALLOW THE HOLY SPIRIT TO DIRECT YOU
IN ALL YOUR DELIBERATION IN YOUR FAMILY LIFE.
It is exactly as a person who is visiting a strange
place, he can never devote his entire interest to develop
such a strange land. Similarly, a woman in your house
has just a limited authority and resources to bring the
family up. It is entirely the responsibility of the man to
plan for the immediate and future upkeep of his family.
The children or the wife should be given adequate
instructions regarding the limitations of their areas
operations.
It is equally the same authority that owners of the
place can give to strangers on where to reach and
where not to reach so that the laws and regulations of
their community might be maintained and respected at
all cost. In such places there are certain decisions that
could be taken without the knowledge of the strangers
so that the authority of the community might be given
due respect.
It is time for all men to wake up and take up
seriously the responsibilities which God has so kindly
bestowed on them. The key of authority has been given
to men and it is time that you utilized this golden

opportunity given to you.

It is absolutely erroneous for a man to reject his
wife on account of her not bearing children for him and
he would have the impudence to go and marry another
woman so as to breed many children, whereas it is the
responsibility of the man to impregnate his wife. It is an
act of unreasonableness for a man to send away his
wife merely because the wife has given birth to only
female children.
It is also heathenism and barbarous for a man to
reject his wife simply because she has given birth to
twin babies. It is absolutely very ungodly to do that. Do
you know that the children are your blood and replicas
of you? Why do you send your wife away because she is
sick? This is also very ungodly. You are her brother and
so it is your responsibility to take care of her under any
circumstances, in life or death.
DELINQUENT FAMILIES ARE DUE TO MAN'S LACK OF
ALLIANCE WITH GOD:
IF THE WIFE AND CHILDREN ARE NOT SUCCESSFUL
IN LIFE, THE HEAD OF THE FAMILY SHOULD BE HELD
RESPONSIBLE. AND THAT IS WHY MEN ARE SUFFERING
UNTOLD HARDSHIPS IN LIFE. This is the opportunity
meant for you to wake up to your God-given
responsibilities so that all might be well with you. If
women are uncompromising in the house the men are
also held responsible for their actions, because they too
are obstinate against Jehovah God and his Christ.
Women are being accused by men of causing confusion,
it is definitely untrue that women are responsible,
rather, the whole blame should be taken by men.

Similarly, no child is causing any confusion and tension,

it is the men and the fathers who lure them into such
situations. That is why when children are arrested on
account of juvenile delinquency, the parents are
severely punished in civil courts because it is assumed
that the parents do not give them proper training and
guidance. Any anti-social problems of the children are
being imputed on the parents. You have to take great
care of your children because they are your progeny.
Right now you should accept any responsibility in
the event you impregnate any woman and make sure
that the woman and the child are well cared for at all
cost. This is your blood.
MEN SHOULD NOT FORSAKE PREGNANT WOMEN:
Men are causing lots of social problems in the
world by impregnating women here and there, but
deliberately refusing to own up to the responsibility of
maintaining these women and their children. This is
very ungodly and anti-social in all its ramification. They
would deny being responsible and the women would be
left in great frustration. They would struggle to maintain
these fatherless children or bastards.
THE WORLD SHALL NEVER BE GOOD SO LONG AS
THE MAN WHO WAS ACCORDED THE RESPONSIBILITY
TO SUPERINTEND OVER ALL THE OTHER CREATIONS OF
GOD CONTINUES TO CAUSE TROUBLES, HENCE
MISLEADING THE REST. HOW CAN THE WORLD BE GOOD
WHEN THE MAN IS EATING THE FOOD OF THE FOWLS.
HAVE YOU NOT REALIZED THE PRESENCE OF THE
FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT? THIS IS THE
FIRST BORN, THE SECOND BORN AND THE FATHER. OUR

LORD JESUS CHRIST IS THE FIRST BORN, THE OTHER

IS THE SECOND SON AND THE THIRD BEING IS THE
FATHER. In the light of this all men should wake up,
particularly this week, ALL SHOULD COME AND
RECEIVE THE WORD OF GOD, CONFESS THEIR SINS,
AND REFRAIN COMPLETELY FROM THEIR EVIL DEEDS
SO THAT THE FATHER MIGHT CONSIDER THEM FOR
FORGIVENESS.
MAN IS THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT,
NOT WOMAN.
THE WORD OF GOD PROCEEDS FROM MAN AND NOT
WOMAN, BECAUSE THE MAN IS THE FATHER, THE SON
AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. THE WOMAN AND CHILDREN
COME OUT FROM THE MAN AND YOU ARE THE FATHER,
AND YOU OUGHT TO COME TO THE REALIZATION OF
THIS HOLY ORDER. Therefore, as long as you are a man
it is your responsibility to cater for the interest of the
family- your wife and children.
THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF CHURCH AND GOVERNMENT:
The church is the medium that is responsible for the
welfare of all other the members of the society. In
towns, cities, villages, and other communities, it is the
man who like the church, has to take the
responsibilities of catering for the welfare of the
people. In the government, it is also the responsibility of
the man to see about the welfare of the masses and in
view of this there should be no class distinction.
A SINNER CANNOT SUCCESSFULLY RULE:
A man who is vicious and easily exasperated cannot

rule others. It is impossible for a person who cannot

control his house to aspire to rule other people in
whatever level. It is absolutely impossible for a sinner
and particularly an angry person to rule others. That is
why the Father has chosen this theme and passages
from the Bible to start this Holy Week, the Men's
fellowship Week. CHILDREN AND WOMEN HAVE NO
HAND IN ALL THE TROUBLES WHICH BESET THE
ENTIRE WORLD, MEN ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE.
WOMEN AND CHILDREN ARE SUPPOSED TO BE
RESPECTFUL TO THE HEAD OF THE FAMILY. CHILDREN
ARE SUPPOSED TO HONOR THEIR FATHERS AND
MOTHERS, AND WIVES SHOULD GIVE DUE HONOR TO
THEIR HUSBANDS. THE FATHER SHOULD LOVE THE
CHILDREN AND THE WIFE. THE FATHERS SHOULD ALSO
SHOW THE ATTRIBUTES OF GOD WHICH ARE FRUIT OF
THE HOLY SPIRIT: IN THE LOVE OF ONE FOR ANOTHER,
HUMILITY, MEEKNESS, PATIENCE, ENDURANCE, PEACE,
LONGSUFFERING, GOODNESS, ETC.
IT IS NOT THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN WHO CAUSE
CONFUSION AND TENSION IN THE WORLD, IT IS THE
MEN. IN FACT THE FORMER HAVE NO CASE TO ANSWER
AND IT IS EXPEDIENT FOR MEN TO OWN UP TO THEIR
RESPONSIBILITIES. IF YOU HAVE NO WORD OF GOD IN
YOU HOW CAN YOU BE ABLE TO CONTROL EVEN YOUR
OWN FAMILY, MUCH LESS, TALK OF RULING OTHER
PEOPLE.
Brethren let the second lesson be read once again,
and listen attentively.
SECOND BIBLE LESSON: 1ST TIMOTHY 2: 8
"I will therefore that men pray everywhere, lifting up

holy hands, without wrath, and doubting."

Brethren, what is read out to you in that passage is
the cause of your problems in the world. I am imploring
all men to pray fervently always, even more than they
eat. It is abominable for somebody to make fruitless
arguments against those things which you know can
bring progress to the vineyard of God. All spirits of
wrath and doubts should be completely jettisoned from
you to give way to the HOLY SPIRIT in the hearts of
men.
WOMEN ARE MORE COMPLIANT THAN MEN:
For example, if all the women in the Pentecostal
hall are asked to go outside, they would willingly
comply with the order, but if a similar order is issued to
men, they would immediately challenge the order, and
would refuse to go out. Similarly, if an order is given
that one thousand naira should be contributed right now,
for some work in the vineyard the women would
willingly contribute their own quota, but the men would
bring long and fruitless arguments which would only
breed confusion. Men are therefore advised to avoid all
forms of fruitless arguments in whatever they do; they
should pray, raising up their hands and also stop
doubting and being irritable.
You were invited today to come and receive your
share of spiritual food. ANGER AND UNNECESSARY
ARGUMENTS ARE DEPLORABLE AND IT IS ON ACCOUNT
OF THIS THAT YOU ALL HAVE RUN SHORT OF THE
GLORY OF GOD. A DOUBLE MINDED PERSON HAS NO
SHARE IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD. AN ANGRY PERSON IS

A DEAD PERSON, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO SPIRIT OF

GOD IN HIM, HE IS EMPTY. Right from today, all men
should avoid anger, and arguments because these vices
cause tension and death. Purify your hearts, wash your
hands clean, come closer to God, so that He also may
come closer to you.
How can you keep away your wife and children from
God? Where shall you keep them in order to hide away
from God? MEN SHOULD RATHER HAND OVER THEIR
ENTIRE FAMILIES TO GOD IN PRAYERS, SO THAT GOD
MAY TAKE DOMINION OVER ALL OF THEM. It is not
women who are supposed to pray, raising their holy
hands rather it is the men. But when your hands are
dirty, how shall God listen to your supplications? AS A
MATTER OF FACT, THERE WAS NO WOMAN AMONG THE
DISCIPLES OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. THIS GOSPEL
WAS NOT HANDED OVER TO WOMEN EITHER, BUT TO
MEN.
SAINT PETER TO WHOM OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
HANDED OVER THE KEY WAS ALSO A MAN. OUR LORD
JESUS CHRIST WHO BROUGHT SALVATION AND THE
GOSPEL TO MANKIND WAS ALSO A MAN; EQUALLY,
JOHN THE BAPTIST THE FORERUNNER OF OUR LORD
JESUS CHRIST WAS A MAN. BUT TODAY, YOUR STOCK
IN TRADE IS COMMITTING VICES SUCH AS FIGHTING,
STEALING, FORNICATION AND ADULTERY, TO MENTION
JUST A FEW.
SOME OF YOU ARE SAYING THAT YOU CANNOT
REFRAIN FROM VICES, AND YOU FURTHER CONSOLE
YOURSELF BY SAYING YOU ARE JUST AN ORDINARY
MAN WITH FLESH AND BLOOD. YOU ARE MERE
CHILDREN IN YOUR THOUGHT, BUT IN PHYSICAL

APPEARANCE YOU ARE ALL ADULTS.

MAN SHOULD MAINTAIN THE COVENANT OF LOVE:
Men should not commit any act of sinfulness and all
men should avoid being exasperated under any
circumstances. ALL MEN SHOULD PRACTICE LOVE FOR
ANOTHER IN ALL ITS RAMIFICATIONS AS GOD IS LOVE,
OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS LOVE AND MAN ALSO IS
LOVE. That is why Our Lord Jesus Christ said, "The
Father loves me, so also do I love you. As God loves our
Lord Jesus Christ, and Our Lord Jesus Christ loves man,
so also should all men love one another. Where is the
very love that Our Lord Jesus Christ has for mankind?
Where are the peace, mercy, truth, goodness, patience,
humility, and the rest of the attributes of God which Our
Lord Jesus Christ bestowed on man? It is certain that if
you as a man, are not good, the fruits you bear, in
children or wife, will not be good. No matter how good a
woman might be, as soon as she is married to an evil
man she is apt to be bad because of the blood
tendencies of the husband which is passed into the
woman during sexual intimacy. If a liar marries a
truthful woman, it is a matter of course, that the woman
becomes a liar, because of the blood tendencies of the
man, since both of them now become one flesh and
blood. Whatever a man may be, it is certain that his
blood tendencies would pass into the woman he
marries, whether he is a thief, a drunkard, a murderer, a
smoker, a fornicator, and consequently, the two of them
would become contaminated.
VICES ARE DISSEMINATED THROUGH BLOOD TO

PROGENY:
Similarly the very blood tendencies would affect the
children that would be born from such families that
germinate vices such as anger, stealing, murder,
drinking, smoking, hatred, backbiting, etc. which pass
through the blood into the children. And that is why the
Europeans are saying that blood is thicker than water.
FORNICATION PERPETUATES DOUBTFUL PROGENY:
That was why when a woman committed adultery
and fornication in the olden days, her husband would
never accept such a child in to the family, because the
suspicions was that a man who is a vicious person with
evil tendencies must have contaminated the child born
into the family with bad blood. Similarly, if your wife
was born into a family which steals, tells lies, murders,
drinks alcohol or fornicates, the evil tendencies of the
blood inherited from her parents would also affect the
husband who might have come from a good family. On
the other hand if the husband is a trouble brewer, the
peaceful wife would endeavor to placate and try to
ameliorate explosive situation, all in vain. Consequently
you would notice that the resulting circumstances are a
question of matching the negative with the positive
charges. The result is rather strange to determine.
There is much punishment for those who
impregnated women and abandon them to go and suffer
and similarly, the same circumstance is prevailing now
in the teaching field- teachers being engaged for service
and not being adequately maintained.
AS IT IS NOT THE WIFE AND CHILDREN WHO ARE
SUPPOSED TO MAINTAIN THE HUSBAND, SO IT IS WITH

ALSO WITH THE PERSON WHO TEACHES YOU IN THE

LORD. HE SHOULD BE CARED FOR BY THE
CONGREGATION IN THE CHURCH.
All men are therefore advised to leave anger and
fruitless arguments; and those who listen now should
pass this information to their brothers and sisters who
have not been opportuned to be here with us. It is often
said that when a child is bad, the mother should advise
him or her. The Father has given men the ability to do all
things and particularly to take control over their
families, provided the men hearken to the word of God
and put same into practice. As Our Lord Jesus Christ
has tolerated us, so also should we tolerate the
shortcomings of others and most importantly all men
should eschew anger and all other manners of vices.
Brethren, I do not want to take you further, our
Golden Text should now be read.

GOLDEN TEXT: JAMES 4:8

Draw neigh to God and He will draw neigh to you.
Cleanse your hands, ye sinners, and purify your hearts,
ye double-minded."
THE NEED FOR CLEAN HANDS AND HEARTS:
The advice is directly for the men in this new
kingdom. All men should go nearer to God, and they
should equally purify their and hands. You should make
your hearts clean, you double minded persons.
Arguments yield forth anger and so the children of God
should avoid both anger and arguments as much as it is
practically possible. THERE IS NOBODY WHO CAN DO

ANYTHING ALL IN HIS OWN WAY IF HE DOES NOT DRAW

NEARER TO JEHOVAH GOD AND HIS CHRIST. AS LONG
AS MEN DO NOT DRAW NEARER TO GOD, HOW GOD
DRAW NEARER TO THEM? Men are the architects of all
evil deeds in this world because they indulge in the
preparation of charms, stealing, drunkenness, smoking,
murder, fornication, adultery etc. in fact all vices
originate from men.
THE CONSEQUENCE OF KING OF HIVITES SONS'
FORNICATION:
When Jacob was returning to his father's land, one
of the sons of the king of Hivite fornicated with one of
Jacob's daughter's, Dinah by name, the daughter of
Leah, born to Jacob. (Genesis 34:31). When the report
went to the king in respect of the attitude of his son
toward the daughter of Jacob, the king went with his
son to Jacob, to plead for leniency. They also asserted
that whatever conditions would be given to them in
order to get Dinah married they would accept. Jacob
and his children asked all of them to be circumcised
just like themselves as one of the conditions and the
king and all his people agreed.
Jacob did not know that two of his sons, Simeon
and Levi who were of the same mother with Dinah were
not happy over the peace settlement. Finally, these two
men went and killed all the male inhabitants of that
nation and his sons looted their properties. Jacob was
not happy over this action of his two children, more so
especially when the peace settlement had been made
and the conditions agreed upon.
That is why it is expedient that men should come

nearer to God so that He too might get nearer to them.

The problem about men is that they are used to eating
the food of the fowls and they are behaving as the fowls
whose main duty is to eat corn. The men and women are
just behaving like that with each other. When a man
sees a woman she would become so captivated just like
the mouse and the cat.
When the cat sees a mouse it would never spare the
mouse at all. When a man desires a woman for carnal
reasons it becomes definitely impossible for the man to
give pieces of good advice to the woman. A man does
not want a small child to whom he is carnally inclined to
advise, he would not want to advise the child.
That is why you are advised to go nearer to God and
God would graciously reciprocate this gesture. IT IS
ONLY GOD ALONE WHO CAN ADVISE A MAN AND HE
WOULD TAKE IT, AS A MAN IS UNDER OUR LORD JESUS
CHRIST AND OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS UNDER THE
FATHER, AND THE THREE OF YOU ARE ONE. IF YOU ARE
ONE WITH GOD YOU WILL CERTAINLY TRIUMPH BUT IF
YOU WANT TO GO IT ALONE YOU WILL WOEFULLY FAIL.
WHEN YOU GO NEARER TO GOD HE WILL BESTOW ON
YOU ALL HIS ATTRIBUTES OF LOVE, PEACE, JOY, FAITH,
HUMILITY, GENTLENESS, PATIENCE, ENDURANCE,
LONGSUFFERING, AND SO ON.
GOD IS NOT MISTAKEN TO APPOINT MAN
ADMINISTRATOR:
If a person tells you that women will make this
would a better place to live in, do not believe him, it is
not true. If you are told that children will make this
world a better place to live in, do not believe it either. It

had pleased God to appoint man to be the head and to

superintend over all of God's creations.
It is only men who will make this world a better
place to live in. For example, if a tree falls on the road
and renders the road impassable, it is men who will
remove it for people to pass through without any
hindrance. If it is fire that engulfs a building, it is only
men who will extinguish it. Therefore all men are being
called upon to get nearer to their God, who has given
them so much power to control all things.
You should purify your hands because it is time that you
woke up from your deep slumber. This is time for
positive action and no man should be kidding anymore.
Those who are double minded should now have only
one mind. You should avoid arguments and anger. IT IS
TIME THAT YOU REFRAINED COMPLETELY FROM ALL
MANNERS OF SIN SO THAT JEHOVAH GOD AND HIS
CHRIST MIGHT COME AND DWELL IN YOU RICHLY. If for
example, if you are good right from today, the whole
world is going to be good also, because whatever you
are, your family and all the things around you are also
going to undergo radical changes to be good too. If you
have love, you will share this love with your children,
and everyone around you. Our God is an immutable God
and will remain so forever and ever. That is why men are
advised to love their wives and children the wives and
children should reciprocate this loving gesture by
respecting and honoring the men as the heads of their
families.
Right from the beginning of time women and
children did not pay tithes. It was men only who used to
pay tithes. From time immemorial women and children

did not go to battlefields to fight wars, it was only in

this present generation that people have decided to
upset all traditional and natural norms and concepts. It
was also an internationally accepted principle that
women and children are never killed during a war. It is
only men who cause trouble and they have seen the
consequences of their actions.
What you are experiencing right now are the signs
of the end of time. It is now that all men should come
closer to God if only they really value their lives
because if because if men go nearer to God, He will
also go nearer to them. WE ARE TAUGHT TO BE KIND,
HUMBLE, PATIENT, JOYFUL, HONEST, TRUTHFUL,
FAITHFUL, ETC. SO THAT WE TOO MIGHT GO AND
TEACH OTHERS TO PRACTICE THESE VIRTUES OF GOD.
Right from today, do not behave in the way that you like.
DO NOT BEHAVE AS THOUGH YOU ARE THE OWNER OF
YOURSELVES BECAUSE YOUR BODIES ARE THE TEMPLE
OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. YOU CAN COMPETENTLY DO SO
BY ATTENDING DAILY MORNING PRAYERS, EVENING
PRAYERS MEETINGS, MEN'S ASSOCIATION MEETINGS,
AND AREA GENERAL MEETINGS, MEN'S FELLOWSHIP
MEETINGS AND THE SUNDAY SERVICES. IT IS FROM
THERE THAT THE WORD OF GOD WILL BE IMPARTED TO
YOU SO THAT YOU MAY BE ABLE TO DIRECT NOT ONLY
YOUR AFFAIRS, BUT ALSO THE GENERAL AFFAIRS OF
YOUR BRETHREN IN THE WORLD TO GOD. GOD WILL
PASS THROUGH THIS MEDIA TO COME AND ABIDE IN
YOU ETERNALLY AND SO YOU WILL HAVE NO MORE
PROBLEMS. Brethren it is said that one stroke of the
cane is sufficient to the wise. Those who have ears to
hear, let them hear. May God bless His Holy Words.

Amen.
THANK YOU HOLY FATHER.
