DIVISION OF LABOUR IN BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR ADMINISTRATION
STANDING ORDER · Vol. vii.
PREFACE
The fact that the Father has clearly defined, streamlined and apportioned responsibilities among hierarchies in His Kingdom is no more debatable. Division of Labour in the Brotherhood World is therefore a foregone conclusion. What is now left is for every stratum in the Kingdom to be acquainted with its terms of reference and implement same to the letter.
The kingdom is one indivisible whole and any errant child or opposing voice overtly declares himself a rebel, and worthy of expulsion. The Lord of the vineyard is the sole law-maker. He makes and unmakes, promotes and demotes, and no creature has the right to question or dispute his statutes. The careful child must therefore advise himself, and not allow himself to be found at crossroads on whom to pledge his allegiance, else he has himself be blame.
The new mandate now upholds unity in diversity, where component parts function in unison in the dispensation of functions for a blended coherence in the generation of a universal energy of love. This energy of love, generated in oneness, will evolve a formidable universal Brotherhood devoid of impurities, in consonance with the pre-ordained arrangement of the one and only God - the Universal Reason, who is the author and finisher of our faith.
The foregoing is the synthesis of a new divine decree The Standing Order, Volume VII: DIVISION OF LABOUR IN B.C.S. ADMINISTRATION.

DIVISION OF LABOUR IN B.C.S
A DIVINE PRONOUNCEHENT DELIVERED BY GOD ALMIGHTY THE VOICE OF GOD
NO CONFUSION IN B.C.S:
You who claim to be secretary, whose secretary are you? I do not want anyone to say that Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is divided. Where is that division? There is only one Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. The entire Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is one, under one shepherd. So if you choose to curse somebody, such is not from me. If you decide to do things the way you like know that you are causing confusion. Actually there is neither confusion nor commotion in Brotherhood. Since Brotherhood was instituted on earth and other planes of manifest there has never. been any confusion or violent uprising and none will ever exist. Brotherhood was not established by a human being but God Himself. If you claim that you are confused and do not know where to belong then you can remain neutral. This means that you are not for Brotherhood. Anyone who is for Brotherhood comes to the Father directly. If you want to belong to or stand with any human being, that is your cup of tea.
Our first daughter is on the side of Brotherhood and she will record and count all that come from women and men fellowships. She is kept in that position to take care of whatsoever is for Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. No one should lay claims to anything. Even now, most of those who are causing this confusion have no substantial contribution to the upkeep of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, all they do is to say all sort of things and write all they like. What letter or circular can you write when you do not know me? Do you know me? How can you claim to be a secretary yet you neither know nor recognize the head of the organization? You want to dispatch our letters or be a secretary yet you do not recognize the owner of the very thing which you are enjoying. Go away with your spirit of confusion and commotion, That was why, when Eyo Okon mentioned that someone dispatched a circular purporting that I was aware and that I said all Leader’s Representatives should stay on, I ordered him to keep quiet. The other day I was grateful to Pastor Essien Umo for what he did. If I were to have another secretary, I would have considered him.
However. I have already placed our mother as the Secretary -General of B.C.S universal. I have spelt out her terms of reference instructed and mandated her on what to do and how to do it. She is aware that B.C.S has been one from the beginning and will remain so for eternity. I have told her how to do all things. Brotherhood has always been one.
How many Roman Catholic Church do we have, let alone this small B.C.S? Some people say they do not know their stand in B.C.S. Sometimes they ask “Where should I go or whom should I follow?” I usually tell such persons to shut up for they are robbers. All those who say that they do not know who to follow are the Confusionists and promoters of commotion in B.C.S. Brotherhood of the Cross and Star must stand as one and indivisible entity. Let my peace and blessing abide with the entire world now and forever - Amen.
THE FATHER’S CONSENT MUST ALWAYS BE SOUGHT:
I must always be informed before-hand of anything that is to be done in B.C.S. It seems I have given you too much freedom and you have started abusing it. Now, people rise from anywhere and claim to be-this or that, dispatching circulars as they like. Nobody in the whole world has the right to do any thing in B.C.S without my approval. I must be duly consulted and informed before anything is done and until I approve of such a thing, it must not be clone. What is! happening now is that people utter and do what they like even these little ones.
You may be a preacher but if l do not ask you to preach, you should not preach. What you are doing is confusion and commotion. Whenever you do anything which I do not permit, you are causing confusion and disturbing the peace of men. But let it be known to you that there will be no problem commotion nor confusion in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star till the end of the world. Even this world ends and another emerges there shall be no confusion in Brotherhood. You who claim that you do not know who follow, now you can follow whatsoever you like. I do not know how you come about that idea that there is confusion, in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. Whatever you follow, B.C.S remains intact. You who say that you do not know what to follow you are at liberty to follow whatsoever or whosoever you like but as for me, I will always remain a Brotherhood. What you are doing here belittles you before me. lt means that you do not have brains. Come to think of it, when you consider the caliber of the ring -leader in this confusion, he is nothing. lf l do not say a word who will say it? Oftentimes people ask “What has become of your leader?" You who want to lead, can you really lead?” Okay, be the leader let me see how you would lead. Lead them into the ocean let them perish.
N0 FACTIONS IN B.C.S:
You are witnesses to what we presented to those our brethren who came. That was raised through appreciation. But ironically when I have done all this you would come to usurp my position. I am waiting for you. What do you think you are coming to do? Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is only one united entity forever. I do not want anyone to claim any post again. I do not want to hear anything like that. Any day that you venture to form factions that same day you have to leave to your own enclave. If you cannot look up to the Father alone then follow whatsoever you like to doom. Look unto me and know that B.C.S can never be divided, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ - Amen.
I do not want to hear anyone say that he does not know who to follow. Are you blind? Do your not know where you come from and where B.C.S is heading? If I hear such statement of division from you I will send you away from B.C.S because you are those confusionists. I will 'immediately excommunicate you from the Kingdom.
Since that our brother Pastor Essien Umoh started being Secretary of Labour, he has done a lot of things. But have you heard his testimony? Most of the gospel books are published by him yet you cannot hear such claims. Who do you think does all things in Brotherhood? Any person who claims to be Secretary, let him bring his letter of appointment or certificate. Let he who says he is an auditor, consultant and the one in-charge come along with his papers, I will pack such papers and get them burnt in fire. That is how you go about causing confusion. Besides, I will drive you and your entire household away from this kingdom.
BROTHERHOOD IS KNOWN UNIVERSALLY:
You have heard what this young man has just said. Is here the type of place one can say such things. Does it mean the whole world is not aware of the truth here? ls Brotherhood a place one can talk like that? Does the government not know us? Is there any person in the various churches who does not know Brotherhood? Do the souls of the departed ones not know Brotherhood? Since you are the only being who does not know Brotherhood then you may go your way. I do not want to hear such statements again, where someone would say that he does not know who to follow in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. All of you were brought in by me to come and enjoy this grace and bliss gratis. See what this brother has just said as if I have stopped him from conducting services. In the first place, can you keep Brotherhood intact? Can you practice Brotherhood? Amongst you, who is he that practices the tenets of Brotherhood? So brethren, Let everyone mind what he says or does. That was why I told Eyo Okon to shut his mouth when he complained of the situation in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. We are all one, one love, one Brotherhood and one kingdom of God. This is Brotherhood of the Cross and Star and we are all in it from birth. You will come, go, reincarnate and come again but you are still in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star.
DIVISION OF LABOUR IN B.C.S:
Is Brotherhood of the Cross and Star a church, prayer house, school or secret society? No matter our numerical strength, those who believe and accept Brotherhood are one. We are one in all our endeavours and operations, Bishop Akwang was the Managing Director in an Oil Palm Estate. So I gave that post of Managing Director in an oil palm estate. So l gave that post of Managing Director to our first son to be Chairman there. I also made our first son the group Managing Director of Globe Master Group of Companies, is it not one and the same thing? There is division of labour which does not mean division of this kingdom of God. Everybody has his own work and no one is' left behind. In both sides people are doing their work. Or is it because when you collected some money from someone or duped or swindled someone I keep quiet that you are doing all this? If I should say that all those who go about collecting money by tricks from people should return same, will you not return such to me? Tell me if you would not return such monies. But I do all those things so that peace will reign and none will suffer. If you do not have what to say you can well keep mute.
SERVING GOD IS NOT BY FORCE:
If you want to serve God then serve God willingly and diligently. I have never forced anyone to serve God. You can see what the Father had done for the Ikom Leader’s Representative. Are their purses not filled? Have you seen me spying -on their activities? I have to encourage everybody and that is all. It gives me joy to do that. It is not sitting here to swindle and dupe people under the pretext of serving God. In that case, you are doing your private business. When you do that you claim to be practising the tenets of B.C.S. Can you mention any other person in the whole world apart from me who is practising Brotherhood or the tenets of B.C.S?
Since you have eyes yet do not see, mention if there is any other person doing the work of Brotherhood. I have merely effected division of labour but you come up to say that B.C.S has been divided into two. Alright, let us see how you can do that. Some would say that they do not know who to follow as there are two masters now. Let me never hear such nonsense and stupidity from any person again.
Everything in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is but one. Brethren, any kingdom or city divided against itself is ruined. A house divided against itself cannot stand. Brotherhood is not divided against itself and things are this way because the father has made them to be so. I have seen how you are going your different ways. l am merely keeping mute and watching you. I am telling you this in confidence. (Matthew 12:22-24)
UNITY IN DIVERSITY:
Now the rubber estate which is under the Bishop C. O. Akpan’s control, is it not the Father’s property, is it not the same Brotherhood? ls the rubber estate at Biakpan which is under King's control not the Father’s? ls this also not Brotherhood? Are all put together not one. You who thrive in confusion and commotion is this not true? All this is owned by B.C.S and the proceeds come to Brotherhood. So brethren, do not make yourselves look stupid. B.C.S is one. lt is not one and half, two, three or four. Everybody are members of Brotherhood whether female, male, adult or child, all are Brotherhood. But let the whole matter be put into practice. You can see that Pastor Ubong has donated three thousand Naira to the Ikun people. But how much have you given?
lf you say that you want to follow our first son, you are free to do as you please. You are free to follow whoever you like but choose one. If you want to follow our first son, then you and he should go away. Go openly and let me know that you have left us. Do not cause any problem for any one. When you are tired of following, you will find your feet. No one here will suffer for another person’s wrong doing, Tell the entire human race that I do not want to ever hear anyone say that B,C.S is divided. If you think that you do not know who to follow, then follow anyone you love. This is because B.C.S is only one entity under one leader.
MANDATE OF THE QUEEN MOTHER:
I have said it before that our first daughter is the one whom I have used as the secretary from the beginning. She has always been involved in B.C.S Secretariat work from the beginning and up till this moment she takes all instructions from me. Whatever tell her to write is what she writes and or sends out. If any other person suddenly comes out to claim that he or she is secretary, such is an impostor' for I never made such appointment. Who made such a person a signatory to B.C.S documents? She, our daughter is the only secretary and secretary - general of B.C.S universally. I have told her what she is expected to do. If any other comes out to claim that position or compete with her such is a thief and robber. Any person whom I do not give approval but goes ahead to claim any post is walking him or herself straight to prison. Have you not known this before? Therefore, render service to God and stop causing confusion, for there is no confusion in B.C.S. Should you confiscate all Brotherhood money or pack all the money and through outside, all will be returned to Brotherhood. All monies stolen or taken out will eventually be brought back to me. So go and cause trouble for l am watching you. Once you are seen with the' Bible you are called Obu’s Children. But when you cause trouble what will they call you? Will they call you ghost's people? You heard the testimony of that man who wanted to come and see the Father but some lawyer did everything within reach to stop him. But did he succeed in hindering him? Is he not here at last? That brother is now baptised? So Brethren I pity you much because you cannot practise any injunction of God as contained in His gospel. You do not love one another. You have not refrained from fornication, stealing robbery, anger and a host of other vices, what then have you done to merit the position of a man of God? Your Brotherhood is yet unconfirmed. lf l were no be a human being like you, what do you think would have happened? There is only one Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. Everything that is done on earth falls into and under B.C.S., which, then are you. going to operate that you say is divided. Which Brotherhood do you say is divided?
THE KINGDOM OF PEACE AND GRACE:
Apart from B.C.S what other thing can give you grace and good things? Once you call O.O. O. Peace descends. A lot of people call on the name Jesus Christ yet they do not have any peace. lf you dare go and command anyone thus: “in the name of Jesus Christ, give me your property". You will not be given. Once you say O. O. O. everything is made easy for you. Are you the Obu that is called? Are you the one bearing that name? Have you seen how good l am to you?
D0 NOT FOLLOW ILLUSIONS:
Why are you going after something that does not exist? Why have you accepted to be led by vanity? I am here but you are afraid of the lion, why? Let it come for I am waiting for it. Is the lion not fearful? You keep on doubting, yet whenever you come here you are blessed. Even then you would not believe in God and would not serve Him. If you do not want to serve God, simply leave.
Brother Ugo-Chukwu promised to donate a car to God, and now he has fulfilled his promise. That car is now here for the service. And he said that the particulars bear O. O. O. If you say that you are not for Brotherhood go and stand for whoever you love. But they will beat you and break your head. Yes, the Father sees all things. Once you come in they will tell you to go to your Father.
THE UNDECIDED IS AN UNBELIEVER:
You have problems because you do not believe in God. You are very insulting. What all people fear and love is what you have rejected, yet you are complaining that you do not know who to follow. Alright go and fall into the sea since you do not know whom to follow. lt is better that you were dead that not know whom to follow. It is better that you were dead than not know the right path. You have to come out from such ignorance henceforth. Does it mean all my labour in preaching to you is in vain. You have not heard my words neither do you see all that l have done. You keep saying, “now there is divided authority. I do not know who to follow. If you do not know who to follow, you are at liberty to follow who you love. That is foolish talk.
Brethren, l am now advising that any man who does not see nor recognise me, has no way. Tell me this the whites who come here do they not know where they are going? A bruised reed shall he not break, and Smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgement unto victory. And in his name shall the Gentiles trust. Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb; and he healed him, in so much that the blind and dumb both spake and saw. (Matthew 12:20-22)
ONLY THE OBEDIENT ARE GOD’S CHILDREN:
Why you make noise here is because you do not believe in God. Was I the one who said that he should be called all these names. You are not insulting a human being but God. You claim you are beaten, disgraced and abused, but only those who reverence His name are the children of God. But as far as you do not have the spirit of respect and obedience you are not part of me. Even those who came from Biakpan City were annoyed at the way members are insulting God in one another. When you pray in Jesus name alone it means that you are disciples of Jesus. A local adage says that the curious dance-steps of a child will cause his father’s debts to be remembered. The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings ,of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed. Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof not by constraint, but willingly, not for filthy lucre. but of a ready mind; Neither as being Lords over God ’s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock. And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away. Likewise, ye younger, 'submit yourselves unto the elders Yea, all of you be subject one to another and be clothed with humility; for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble (I Peter 5: 1-5)
TEST THE NAME:
I know all of you who are involved in these things. I know that you do not believe in God. I have never asked people to call me any name or title because I do not need it. Go on calling on Jesus Christ to save you since you do not want Olumba. When you have carried palm oil and then water you would know which one in heavier. Sister Etop did not believe in the Father in the beginning. Whenever something happened she would shout Jesus! Jesus! So on one occasion something happened and she shouted Jesus! Jesus Christ but she was beaten the more. In another instance something happened and she called O. O. O. At that very instant peace flowed in and she was saved. For that she now has implicit faith in the name of the Father. It is not her willingness or love to call on the Father’s name. But l am not interested because everybody wants to do what he likes. But I know one thing, that in all planes, planets and worlds whenever the name O. O. O is called something must happen. lt can solve any problem anywhere. Whenever you call on the name everything is put to subjection and submission. So do not bother yourselves for I have seen your faces and actions. I am convinced that you do not believe in this God. All those who do not believe should continue to call on any funny name they like.
EVIL WORDS DO BOOMERANG:
Every time people say vain things, they fail to understand that those words bring problems and suffering to them. The children of God do not speak vain words. I want to show you that no man knows the way of God. I have shown you that way of God yet you do not want to follow. I have therefore accomplished my own assignment. Recall when Eli was the priest in Israel, he had two sons who were both of the rank of colonel in the Israeli army. However, none of them reverenced God. They did not pay tithe nor render any good service to God. For that reason they encountered a lot of problems
REWARD FOR EVIL DEEDS:
One day, Samuel who was brought as a servant into the house rose up and went to Eli when he heard his name being called. Eli told him to go and sleep for he did not call him. When Samuel heard the voice again he went- back to Eli, there and then Eli told him that if he hears the voice again he should say. “My Lord speak for thy servant hears”. This was because Eli was aware that God wanted to talk to him. But Eli told Samuel that if he failed to narrate all that God would tell him to him (Eli) God would punish him (Samuel). Samuel therefore became afraid because of the imminent punishment. So God called his name again and he answered, God then told Samuel all that was to happen to the house of Eli. (1 Samuel 3:1-8)
Not quite long after God’s message to Samuel, war broke out again between the Philistines and the Israelites. The two sons of Eli died in the war and when Eli, their father, asked how the war went with his two sons, he was told that they were killed. When Eli heard that, he fell backwards and died. This was exactly as the Father had told Samuel.
THE WAY OF GOD:
The Philistines had hoped that if they won that war they would seize the ark of God and use same to better their lots. Unfortunately, that very night they suffered seriously. That night during which the ark was in their midst they suffered terrible defeat in the hands of their enemies. They were so confused why God should do that to them and decided to cast lots. They were informed by the ‘spirit to celebrate a feast, sanctify themselves and then return the ark to the Israelites. This was because there was much death and suffering. That very night they returned the ark of God to the Israelites. First thing in the morning the Israelite who saw the ark was so glad and carried it into his house. From that day things started -to be well with the man and his family. It was so well with him that the news spread all over Israel until it got to King David. David and all Israel were happy to bring back the ark of God to its real place. So, on a fixed date they danced to the house of the man and carried the ark home.
Listen carefully because I am telling you how God is and how He does his things, for I pity you so much. Whatsoever comes to you is caused by you.
As they were dancing home with the ark of God, David told them that nobody should cross the way while the ark is approaching. Listen you disobedient children. As the ark was approaching, one person crossed the way and died at the spot. Also, one lady saw as David was dancing to his God and mocked him instantly, she became leprous from head to toe. She did not do any other thing apart from laughing and pointing at King David derisively and then she became a leper. From that same day the woman became barren for life. Have you understood what happened to Eli, his two sons, the man and the young lady? Have you seen the way of God? As you are here, l am seeing something. All those who will hear these words and abide by his injunction same shall see His Glory. But gossipers and backbiter are not wanted by God, God actually does not need anything from you apart from reverence. Any person therefore, who does not fear and reverence God had better go now and make his coffin. You would have all sorts of bad luck if you do not reverence God. But all those who love God, who accept to abide by His words shall become rich even if they were poor. They will also have peace and eternal life.
THE PATH T0 SALVATION:
Stop gossiping and mocking people. lf you would have salvation and eternal life you must bridle your tongue. You are too obstinate to God. Please do not insult God again for your own good. You keep doing what you like and quickly think evil. You keep doing what you like and quickly think evil. You can see what happened to the Philistines who hoped to benefit from the ark seized from Israel. You have seen that it turned the other way around. You only reap good when you believe in Him. Like we are here. when you start to talk at random, not following the tenets of this kingdom, l would quietly leave. What God wants is orderliness for He desires that you be like me. There are those who think about these vain words and fall or backslide. Those who are stubborn, argumentative, who speak evil and are not grateful and lack a thankful heart will have their reward by the door.
EFFECTS OF INSUBORDINATION:
About six hundred thousand (600,000) men of Israel left Egypt for the land of Canaan. But out of that number only two men reach the promised land of Canaan. All the rest died along the way due to insubordination as you are doing now. I have concluded my admonition.
I have told you all the truth. It is now left for you to chose what should come to you. You can see how the worldly people keep asking where the power of Brotherhood is. They want you to tell them. They are curious and are wondering why it is that once Brotherhood child utters a word everyone, even beings will be calm. So you have to be careful what you do. But if you would chose to quarrel with me, abuse, beat or speak vain words against, me, you will receive your comeuppance, I am vindicated.
From today, watch and see all those who are humble and do not speak vain words or at random. You would see what they will achieve. Like Christ Witness Ime Etuk. l was surprised when they said that he was here. Among all the Children of God there is none as powerful as he. No one can stand before him but see how humble he is. Have you heard him? Anyone who humbles himself will be exalted and those who exalt themselves will be abased. That Ime Etuk sees a lot and knows much it not a secret, but you would not hear him speak evil or vain words. But some riffraff and worthless persons would come here to utter anything they like. Such “show waters” do not believe in Him.
If you do not believe in God you are lost. It is not your donation of money or clothes that will save you. You gain salvation by faith and complete reverence to God. When you surrender to the will of God, He will promote you. A lot of people who are being transferred to the world beyond are those who do not continue in blasphemy against God. You do not even believe in the God that you profess to worship.
SPIRITUAL CHORUS:
Send Me Lord, Send Me for I will Go. God, the Father is in front and behind you.
The voice. of God (Sunday Morning 12/11/2000)

THE NEW MANDATE
SPECIAL PRONOUNCEMENT DILIVERED BY GOD ALMIGHTY THE VOICE OF GOD
BROTHERHOOD IS FIRE:
Brethren, it is of immense benefit for you to keep your mouth shut and not be flippant. This advice is extended to the information officer, Brother Eyo Okon, to stop speaking at random or getting exasperated over certain situations but to remain in absolute submission unto the Father. Now I am going to give you words of wisdom, to reveal to you what Brotherhood is and her mission here on earth. I had before revealed unto you what Brotherhood is fire but you are still ignorant and recalcitrant, refusing to hear. Brotherhood is fire. Wherever she enters, she will burn and consume all filthiness even throughout the universe. That is why you have never witnessed the Father being angry, because any day I am exasperated, the whole world will be burn to ashes and nothing will he spared. That is the reason l always remain quiet and unconcerned irrespective of what you do. You do not understand the position we are now - the height that Brotherhood has attained There is abundant joy in the kingdom.
Let me reveal a secret to you, do not be afraid of anything whatsoever because there is nothing here to be afraid of. God has engulfed the entire universe, so any person who takes up the sword must surely die by the sword. Any person who opens his mouth to say anything against Brotherhood, watch out and you will see what will happen to him wherever he may be. Personally I dread Brotherhood and this our God.
When people claim Olumba does not react, upon the many disturbances that affect the kingdom, I answer yes, because I had told you long ago that I have never been exasperated in life, and this is my source of joy. Whatever man decides to say, does not hold any water because such things have no bearing at all with this kingdom. The peace of God proliferates the entire kingdom, in front and behind, in heaven, on earth, and everywhere. Therefore let each and every person be careful of what he or she does, exercising prudence in all their actions, else you will have yourself to blame.
WARNING T0 THE EVIL-DOERS:
Do not relent your effort in giving testimonies of the glory of God, of this kingdom. I have no business whatsoever with evil, I have no business whatsoever with anger, I have no affiliation with bearing of malice, speaking evil words against another person, or indulging in any evil practice. I have no association whatsoever with these vices because I know the God I have for is in all that I do. Our God is a consuming fire. Any day any person conceives such evil thoughts in him, or get involved in them, such a person will see the reaction of the Father. Therefore, now that this secret has exposed to you, you must advise yourself and others very strongly against these negative actions which contrary to the tenets of this kingdom. We have business with the police nor the soldiers or with any man or woman. What is required of us is absolute quietness, fear of God, thanking God always for his great love and mercy towards humanity, confessing our to God, being remorseful and penitent in our lives; evoking the forgiveness of God to others and being joyful.
N0 PEACE FOR EVIL DOERS:
You have just heard the problems affecting the Yoruba, the Hausa, and many others. Are you better than them? But look at Brotherhood, upon all the derogatory and blasphemous words spoken against her, rather than being affected, she is being elevated and all her detractors are gone. Until the people remain quiet, then will they see and receive the peace of God. Remain and dwell in peace and love one another for that is the business of Brotherhood. Do not be angry with any person and do not bear grudge against any person. Watch and see, all those people who are in the habit of saying derogatory and blasphemous words against Brotherhood, have no peace in life. Watch and see all those who hate other people, all those who steal people’s property, even all evildoers, the liars, the murderers and the fornicators, all these people have no peace in life and are ever in one problem or the other. But all those who remain in total submission unto the directives of the Father, in absolute silence, they have no problem at all in life.
THERE IS N0 WAR IN THE KINGDOM:
Now take a look at senior Christ Witness Ime Akpakpan and his pattern of life since the Father called him into the Kingdom. He had lived in Biakpan for over eleven years and some members waged war against him, made false accusations and said evil words against him, all in a bid to pull him down. But the Father held him fast unto himself. Now, all those who had engaged in these evil practices, what good has it brought them? But he remains ever steadfast with the Father. Even when he came in to see the Father and left soon after, did you hear his voice, even now have you heard his voice?
But the detractors accosted him with their usual words of confusion that there was imminent climate of war in the kingdom. Now I ask them, what sort of war is Imminent, can you withstand warfare? Why are you not afraid of the prevailing power of God in the kingdom? Why use that period to run to the world and tell them to quickly flee from all their evil ways of life, that they should be remorseful and penitent over their evil ways. All these .groups of persons that go about causing trouble and confusion everywhere must understand that such negative-attitudes have no bearing at all in Brotherhood. Brotherhood has nothing to do with concoction and no other power exists excepting the power of God Almighty and the peace of God which passeth all human understanding. I have not hidden anything from you, therefore if I do not give orders, do not say anything. Be warned. Personally I have no problems because I do not do anything unless God does it. Our God is really wonderful, very wonderful. I am telling you nothing but the whole truth.
BE CAUTIONS IN LIFE:
Everyone should exercise caution in their lives in whatever he says or does. Brotherhood and her manifestations have nothing whatsoever to do with you. Those who are the real children of Brotherhood have no business in it. Buy whereby you interfere with the divine arrangement of God, you will have yourself to blame. All things here in Brotherhood have been pre-arranged by me and brought down on earth. I do not desire that any person whom the-father has called should face any problem. That is why I have given this advice to you, please my children remain in total submission unto the Father and in absolute quietness unto his purpose. When you are beaten on this cheek turn the other one to be beaten also. When you are cursed, do not retort, do not be overcome with evil but overcome evil with good and remain joyful with everyone. By so doing you will confide in one another and there will be peace everywhere.
GO OUT AND EXHORT THE WORLD:
I have pre-arranged everything in their correct and concise positions. Those whom l have appointed are to go out and exhort people to give up bad ways to remain in peace and absolute quietness because the Father has accomplished all things, they have to carry out their assignment freely. Now open your eyes wide because if you desire to see things for yourself, you will and such things are those that you have never seen in life. What has caused people who were in the habit of saying evil words against Brotherhood to refrain from such action? Now when such conversation is raised they would warn you against it. They would say, Oh, do not say any evil against Brotherhood, do not try any evil with Brotherhood, you may do that to other denominations but not with Brotherhood, who has caused that to happen? lf one is a trouble- maker surely, trouble will follow him. But when you are not a troublemaker as Brotherhood is, you will not face any problem in life.
THE PRE-ORDAINED BLUE PRINT:
Recall that trouble that ensued between the children of God and the Bishops, whereupon the former had to remove the chairs of the Bishops from their position. Now all those people who claimed superiority over another and so caused that trouble, have you not seen the problems facing them? Are they comfortable ever since the incident occurred? If I had made any utterance concerning the incident, something very unpleasant would have happened. But since I made no statement, all things died naturally. Now if all of you should emulate my way of life, and remain in absolute quietness it will be well with you, because there is nothing that can disturb the pre-arranged position of things in the kingdom. Brotherhood is progressing steadily and there is no problem whatsoever. So relay this message to whoever is keen, for all things here in the kingdom had been pre-arranged; in shipshape order.
MANIFEBTATION OF THE DIVINE MASTER-PLAN:
I will soon appoint those groups of persons whose sole duty will be to go from place to place preaching to people. All confused preaching and false visions are no longer needed here the kingdom. Everything will be made according to the pre-ordained blueprint of the Father. This is the time of joy, great joy has engulfed the kingdom, the wealth of God has filled the kingdom and great peace abounds here. Even Biakpan that had rejected Brotherhood is now at the fore front. Brother let them say’ was one of the Biakpan people who had caused a lot of trouble for Brotherhood. If he were here now to tell you his own story, the dubious acts he had committed against Brotherhood, you would marvel at what the Father has done. Throughout that area until you reach Asaga and its environs, they knew him and were afraid of him, Umon and the whole community were afraid of him. He did a lot of havoc, beating people mercilessly, he had mentioned these things to you before. But now, he has thrown himself into Brotherhood. Can you imagine the peace he has received in life, the joy, the good health and the prosperity that he has received? But now you want to indulge in all evil acts against Brotherhood, please my children, be warned. Brotherhood is a consuming tire that destroys any person that works against the manifestation of her wish. Brotherhood is God. God does not desire trouble, anger or wrong advice, God has nothing to do with such evil tendencies.
ONLY THE FATHER CAN MAKE APPOINTMENTS:
In the case of information officer, brother Eyo Okon, I have not replied to what he said. Upon all what he said, I have not answered him. Here we do not behave that way. I had told you that here in Brotherhood, there is a secretary appointed by Me to oversee the machinery of the administration of Brotherhood world. l am the only person to appoint anyone into any post, do not appoint or impose yourself. I have spelt out the terms of reference to those I have appointed. Each appointee has been allotted a specific area of administration. They will serve as advisers to the generality of the people. Therefore, I am pleading with you advise yourselves because anything that you do contrary to this divine arrangement will have a boomerang effect on you, I have told you this so I am vindicated, you will have no one but yourself to blame. Let us obey his injunctions because He is very much conscious of himself, inexplicably wise and of high moral standing. Whatever is happening here in Brotherhood is owned by God. He has already pre-ordained those he requires for his service and he knows them all. Therefore our only responsibility here in the kingdom is to sing and offer praises to God. We have to give thanks to God in songs and by being exceedingly happy because no problem. no matter how small will dare go near the children of God till eternity. lf you see anyone in Brotherhood having problems know that he is the cause of such problems, for if you plan evil against another person evil will follow after you. All those who are troublemakers in Brotherhood, those who cause confusion here and there; where are they now, so why should you emulate them. Be warned.
FATE OF THE TROUBLE-MAKERS:
The Father, who is God is the only one ruling Brotherhood, even the entire universe, when you cause any problem, trouble or confusion, you will be arrested, when you kill a person, you will be killed also. When you steal another person’s property, yours will equally be stolen. When you hate another person, hatred will follow after you. When you speak disdainfully and insultingly to another person, you will have yourself to blame, you will face the Consequence of your actions alone. But as long as you come in here and remain in total submission unto the will of God and in absolute quietness without uttering any word, being exasperated nor behaving in an unruly fashion, you will witness the peace, blessing, prosperity and good health from God, you will also witness the beauty and the power of God and this will be sufficient unto every person in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ - Amen.
THANKSGIVING: THE DESIRE OF GOD:
Last week, our Brother Senior Pastor S. l. U. Etuk came in here to thank the Father and he spent the whole day with the Father. The joy and happiness that he expressed was inestimable, Senior Pastor S. I. U Etuk really displayed his thankfulness unto God.
After that weekend the following week, our sister Senior Deaconess Eka-nne Obo came here and stayed with the Father for two days. She danced, praised the Lord and gave thanks to the Father. Also there was another sister from London who came to see the Father, she joined her (Eka-nne) in praising God and even made some donations to her. All these and many more activities really gladdened her heart until she did not know how to express her joy in the Father. She remained here for two days rejoicing with the Father. Now that you go about causing confusion that can result in all the dignitaries and important personalities deserting Brotherhood, have you found out the identity of these people who came here to rejoice with the Father? Now, keep your eyes wide open, watch and see what will become of all the trouble makers, the confusionist and the advisers of doom. Therefore my children, I am pleading with you to go out and advise people against all these unwholesome behaviours. This group of persons go about bearing false rumour that all the important personalities in Brotherhood have deserted Brotherhood. If 1 may ask, where have they deserted Brotherhood to? Where have they gone to? Are you not aware that Brotherhood is the kingdom of God, that it is meant for the righteous ones who are coming in their numbers?
PEACE RADIATES IN BROTHERHOOD:
Recently our lawyer, Brother Alex Igwe visited Ivory Coast and advised the government that if they are desirous of a good leader, they must come and see the Father, they must be baptised into Brotherhood, and once this is done they will experience the peace of God in their country. There is no Country that Brotherhood, once established, does not bring peace to. Have you not witnessed peace here in Nigeria and in Africa? Where there is no peace, it means such people do not seek for God and they are trouble-makers and confusionists. When our Brother lgwe contacted the Ivorian president, the man accepted to come and be baptised into Brotherhood. This Sunday our brother will go there again, his passport is ready and his flight booked so that he would go there and arrange all things for their baptism and other accompaniments.
THE EXECUTIVES ARE WITH THE FATHER.
Since last week my executives, the Brotherhood executives, (all of them) came here to see the Father. These are our bona-fide executives? But those detractors, the trouble makers and the confusionists go about spreading false news that all important personalities have deserted Brotherhood. If I may ask again, where have they gone to? Do you now know that such statements are highly blasphemous and attract great penalty? Warn such people sternly. Advise them to steer clear of these negative actions else they will have themselves to blame. In order that you will not perish, let all of you bridle your tongues.
lf you desire to come to Brotherhood, come to Brotherhood and abide by her doctrines. If you have no such desire to stay in Brotherhood, you are at liberty to leave and attend any other denomination of your choice. You should no longer speak disdainfully against Brotherhood. Do not investigate Brotherhood again, nor watch over Brotherhood. What are you watching over, you who claim you are watchmen (security officers) I have advised you now, be warned. Last week the happiness that Bishop A. O. E. Ekanem, Bishop C. O. Akpan, Bishop Ejedaweh and Bishop Okpala Williams had was ineffable. No other personalities are greater than them. They came to stay with the Father and share in the inexplicable joy and happiness.
But you are there idle, causing confusion and spreading false rumours that all the good people have now deserted Brotherhood. Again I ask you, where have they deserted Brotherhood to? Rather, now the Father is seeking out the evil-doers to excommunicate them from the kingdom. What sort of business do they have with Brotherhood?
BROTHERHOOD HAS COME TO SAVE THE WORLD:
When you brag that you have pooled your resources into Brotherhood, I ask you, how much money did you donate? Are you not scared of what you see here in the kingdom? Do you not know that Brotherhood is just starting to unfold her mission? You will all bear witness to the fact that Brotherhood has come to save the whole world, and all her duties have been pre-arranged and kept in their specific places So all those appointed and co-opted into this divine arrangement of God will go about their duty without any disturbance or struggling whatsoever, but with reverence and total submission unto the laws and ordinances of God _and there will be no problem. I am telling you this in confidence so that you will be forearmed lest someone comes and deceives you
THE DUTY OF BROTHERHOOD:
Now when you see Brother Essien you will bear Witness to the glory of God in him. Even sister Anni testified to this-the great-work of the Father in him. Brother Essien is now experiencing a new life and he is a wonderful person and my living testimony. Each and every one of you should go out and tell the world about the wonderful works of God, that they should have no fear but should remain together in peace, rejoicing and giving thanks to God; because no matter the type of problem facing the world, none, not even an iota of it will dare near Brotherhood and any child of Brotherhood. Now you have witnessed what is happening in Yoruba-land and in Hausa-land, this is just police action, it is the Father’s method of advising people. It is the duty of Brotherhood to advise the whole world. You will go to lsrael because when that brother from lsrael came here to testify about the great works of the Father there, l placed my hands on his head and prayed for him. Then l told him that Brotherhood will come back there' in order to restore peace to that country. Was that not what happened? Our Brother Ime Akpakpan is here to confirm this statement. I made him to understand that all his endeavours are but nothing, but only Brotherhood can restore peace unto them all and the entire universe. The brother accepted this proposal. Now, I have given the command that you should all be in readiness in groups of twos and threes to visit that country with an authority from the Father, informing them that peace has come and there is no problem whatsoever.
BROTHERHOOD HAS NO ASSOCIATION WITH EVIL:
We are here to restore peace unto the whole world, so any Brotherhood child is not expected to be angry with any person, tell lies, indulge in falsehood, steal, kill any person, commit fornication or be involved in any evil tendency because that is nor our identity. Brotherhood is synonymous with love, truth, mercy, humility and meekness. It is only joy that prevails in the kingdom and it is only what we have come along with, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, let us offer prayers to God for our other brethren in Yoruba-land, Hausa land, the Arab countries and the whole world, so that God in his infinite mercy will prevail in all circumstances to the glorification of his Holy Name. But in Brotherhood there is no problem whatsoever and no problem will ever dare near Brotherhood because Brotherhood has come to restore peace unto the entire universe. Therefore, spread out and relay this good tiding unto the entire universe that now is the time for every person to remain and abide in pace with one another in joy and thanksgiving unto the Father.
THERE IS NO DIVISION IN BROTHERHOOD:
A local adage says, a man sick of hernia does not complain of its pain but you, the neighbour, complain that you are having sleepless nights. What sort of sleepless night, am I not the embodiment of Brotherhood you are referring to? What is there to be afraid of? When you maintain that there is division in Brotherhood, where is such division in Brotherhood? When you maintain there is backsliding, where is such a thing? Even when Ime Akpakpan tried to tell me some funny stories, l questioned him what that meant. Personally I have not heard such stories. Even the security personnel here are not left out in this confusion. They prevent people from coming into the compound. When you prevent people from entering here, is it the goat that will live here or the cows or will the compound be left empty? When a visitor comes in here wishing to see the Father, they will prevent such a person saying that now the father is no longer in operation. Such actions have now met their wit-end and they are not the truth. Now l am going to issue a memorandum concerning such negative actions that have sneaked into the kingdom. lf you desire to come, come in here and see Brotherhood in action. Brotherhood is not found in the world but it is found here in the kingdom and this is her dwelling place, therefore rejoice immensely.
Do not relent effort in telling people that they should remain quiet without fear and watch as events unfold. Brotherhood is about to begin and now is that time. Testify to people about the great works of God and reveal the glory of God to them. Anywhere you are now, the glory of God is revealed even in all nooks and crannies of the world.
THE FATHER HAS RESTORED PEACE:
This advice has been extended to the Information Officer, Brother Eyo Okon, to keep his mouth shut and desist, forthwith, from vain utterances. If he is not able to go about his duties without making worthless speeches, let him remain here in the hall and hear the word of God. The vain utterances from him are becoming too unbearable, what is actually happening? Please let him hold his breath and stop talking.
Remain in peace because the peace of God has engulfed the entire universal and the Father in His infinite mercy, has granted you peace. Ever since you indulged in these unwholesome behaviours, you had no peace but now the Father has restored peace to you. What is desired of you is to testify about the glory of God and express your than thankfulness to God for these great works, now that you have done that the Father has showered his profound peace upon you. The Father has concluded this personal message to Information Officer, brother Eyo Okon. I have great joy and happiness for all of you who have love to stay with the Father and to advise people against any contrary behaviour or negative actions against Brotherhood, because by so doing we all have received salvation and he too, information officer, has received salvation.
We would all have been here one day and he (Doctor Essien) fell down and died but what he did was in accordance with our principle, to save one another and pray to one another when the need arises.
PENALTY OF THE DECEIVERS:
Anyone who does not desire for prayers is free to refuse same and anyone who does not wish to come into Brotherhood is at liberty to reject such offer. But for you to go about dissuading and discouraging people from coming into Brotherhood is a grave offence and attracts great penalty. Therefore, if you are one of such those people, refrain from such action forthwith. Do not speak disdainfully against Brotherhood for Brotherhood has excelled above very other thing. It is very highly situated and constituted. If you do this, you cannot be a Brotherhood. Do you think that being a brotherhood constitutes going about deceiving people with your false visions, causing problems here and there with your vain utterances, displaying false aura around yourself that you are a strong healer, is this all what is required? Satan indeed is very cunning and highly deceptive. All such people indulging in these vain utterances are sealed for destruction and l have stamped them everywhere. Yesterday some group of people came in here to tell vain stories. Do not come in here to testify of yourself or tell vain and useless stories. We desire edifying testimonies. Give us such testimonies else l will ring my bell against you. I desire testimonies because they constitute the glory of God. Did you not read in the scripture when our Lord Jesus Christ commanded his disciples to go out and preach the glory of God?
THE ACCEPTABLE PATTERN OF TESTIMONIES:
Brotherhood is the glory of God as Brother Essien used to testify in ‘My Witness’. Now these testimonies are so much that there is no space to contain them. When you wish to give a testimony, testify about the glory of God in this kingdom and not the glory of the world. I have given you this advice and it should be strictly adhered to. Yesterday, you came here saying all sorts of vain and carnal words, praising yourselves as if you were good. You talked as if you were the pioneers of Brotherhood and have achieved great things here and how you wish now to do this or that. I become very amused over your ignorance oh! is this how you people regard Brotherhood? Is it the children’s playground where stories are told? Give testimonies about the glory of God, that is all that is required of you, as this chorus confirms ‘great testimonies abound in Brotherhood’. Now people should sit down quietly and listen to or testify to the glory of God in Brotherhood. Do not make vain utterances except the glory of God. You have also heard the testimony of my child, sister Anni, and the rest of my children this morning. What is prevailing now in the world is not a joke, anyone fighting against you, is fighting against God. But now, there is no trouble whatsoever, the peace of God has engulfed everywhere. We do not believe in concoctions or ghosts and have no other form of protection or operative force. So what is there to cause you to fight? Let the sleeping dog lie, do not wake' it. Trouble rest serenly but your empty and curious pride incites it to fury. What is the offence of that person against you when he puts on his cloth? Why go and curse him, what is your business in another man’s life pattern? Now many people, even many churches have relented their efforts in speaking disdainfully against Brotherhood, but it is now left for them to embrace Brotherhood for their salvation.
PROCLAIM THE WHOLE TRUTH:
Recall that in 1944 we had a great feast here in the Kingdom. In that year, many healers stood up around the environs and claimed to be vested with powers of healing and great visions in various capacities and ranks and, of course, people flocked to them. Also in that same year, a sister had a revelation from God concerning Brotherhood which she relayed to us. But all this while, various people in various places were bragging over their ability and power to heal different types of sicknesses.
But this sister, sister Nkoyo James, had this vision that Brotherhood should celebrate a feast with seven cows, using one cow each day until the seven cows were killed, that the Father ordered that the feast should be conducted that way. Some of you were here when that feast was conducted. Slaughtering a cow for feast is not a joke, let alone slaughtering seven cows, but Brotherhood complied with that vision. Do you know that as soon as that feast was celebrated, Brotherhood was revealed unto the entire universe. When you assess what happened then critically, you would realize that the Father was the brain behind such arrogance, the Holy Spirit is the only healer and visioner. From that year all pomposity, bragging and arrogance of the so- called visioners and healers died automatically. Their voices were no longer heard.
THE FATHER IS THE ONLY HEALER:
All the great works that you find here in Brotherhood are not done by any person but the Holy Spirit and He does all things. Since that year, people stopped to making from such acclamations. As we are here, he I the Father, the son, the Mother and the Holy Spirit and everything you find here is embedded in him alone and he alone does all the works you see. Why can’t you testify to these great achievements? Rather, you are still bragging about how powerful you are and your capabilities. Where have you got such powers from? When you say, ‘Oh I have healed that person and now he is well’, what have you used in healing him, excepting that now God has come in person to do all things for us. That is why I always refer you to the land of Biakpan. Go now to the Bethesda water in Biakpan and see the healing power of God. What God is doing there now is magnificent. Are you responsible for such achievement. Again if you visit Ugbaha and see the great works accomplished by the Father, it is inexpressible and inestimable and in everywhere that you go to, who is the doer of such work? Here in Brotherhood, there is no lighting of candles, no spraying of perfumes, no incantations and invocations but once you come in here and accept baptism you are saved. The great works of God revealed in the interpreter Brother Essien is so wonderful we are all witnesses to this fact.
THE FATHER IS OUR ONLY HOPE:
People claim that the information officer, Brother Eyo Okon, is quick at saying vain words, but has his utterance not done good works? But for his utterances, something serious would have happened. Everyone saw what was happening but no one dared make any statement. Personally, I had not seen it but he Eyo, was insistently reporting his observations. On that day he shouted ‘Father, please, come to our rescue because all this while brother Essien is dying slowly, every day he is dying slowly and no one seems to bother’. Even he, Essien himself, did not bother over his condition, he would even assure you that the Father was changing him and he was passing through some vigorous exercises. Then l asked him to go to Biakpan for inspection of the Bethesda water and the spiritual healing home there. The Father, being wise, had his way of doing things. lf he had told him to go and bath in the Bethesda water, everyone including himself, would have laughed over such treatment, rather l told him to go there for inspection. Have you seen the wisdom of God? He obeyed that voice and did exactly what the Father directed him to do that same day. Now look at Essien, see what the Father has done, he has now regained his health and the glory of God is revealed in him. He has enough testimonies for the world, starting with himself what God has done in Him inspite of the fact that he is an academic Doctor. Therefore, what God desires from us is testimonies of his glory. But the way we are going about this duty of testifying is not accepted by God. We do not understand that the whole world is seeking for this Brotherhood. The brother cannot even understand what makes him well now. If you ask him the sort of medication he took, he would not be able to tell you. He is free, therefore, to testify to the glory of God.
When you go home you will see the Father in your house. In Lagos, the Father is there, in America, in India, in Russia, the Father is seen physically. Now the whole world has come to the understanding that no one excepting the Father does all these work, no other person is involved.
When you start acclaiming ‘the King of Kings’ as a new name l wonder whether you have not seen it written in the Holy Bible ‘the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords’. But you in your ignorance engage yourselves in vain utterances, causing confusion here and there. Does he, the King of Kings, have any knowledge of the Divine arrangement of God? No, but he believes. That is why, no matter the magnitude of your sickness and whatever is your request, the Father is ever at work, healing the sick and supplying all our heart desires.
THE GREAT DELIVERER:
Recall that brother from the U.S.A. whom his child sued to court. According to the law in America, if you cannot maintain your child and he sues you to court to seek for redress, when you are found guilty you are repatriated from the country or sentenced to ten years imprisonment with no options of fine. No matter what you do, the excuses you give to exonerate yourself from blame would not be tenable when you are found guilty. You would have no excuse to give. This brother wept bitterly there in America, 'Oh now my daughter has succeeded in ruining me’. This child was consistent in her complaint against her father saying her father has abused; tormented and cheated her. This child was a young lady who was married to an English man. So, now you can consider it yourself how the situation was.
Now, when you visit the U.S.A the area of Jurisdiction where the brother’s case was is now shaking. When this brother came to me in tears, I consoled him telling him not to be worried over the case. l assured him, ‘you have never witnessed the Father in action but now you are going to witness the great work of the Father. Without any charge, go, your case is over, you have been discharged and acquitted’. The brother was flabbergasted over the Father’s action because he had been so worried about that case. He thought the government would confiscate all his wealth that he has spent years to acquire, sentence him to ten years imprisonment and finally get him repatriated. I consoled him not to worry. I had to tell him what happened in U.S.A., before Brotherhood could be established there. That, alter Brotherhood was given the license to operate there in the U.S.A., Brother Felix, whom the Father passed through to establish Brotherhood in America sought for permission to travel to Biakpan to attend one of Brotherhoods’ events. The government was surprised. They queried him ‘what are you going to do in Nigeria, in Biakpan, is this organisation not founded from here? Brother Felix answered that their leader is in Biakpan. The people were still not content with the reply and they jeered at him asking who their leader was. They asked how he managed to have the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star Certificate of incorporation in the U.S.A and how he came to know Brotherhood. This case was taken to court, and brother Felix himself tried his best to close the case, but all his effort was useless. Finally, after all investigations, the government of the U.S.A.. saw that Brotherhood was not founded there in America but it came into America from Biakpan. So the government stopped all assistance to them, no more air plane for their rallies. The whole states of America had joined together in that case, that Brotherhood was not needed in America, that it was a great insolence to establish Brotherhood there. They asked if Brotherhood had been established in London, India, Germany and France, the answer was No. So how come they wanted Brotherhood established in their Country. They asked whether their country was the least whereby anyone could do as he or she pleased and affirmed that they did not sanction the establishment of Brotherhood in the U.S.A. That was the United States Governments resolution. Brotherhood only had a lawyer and he was helpless. But something happened, the leading state attorney had a dream and saw the Father who told him that the people should allow Brotherhood to remain in the U.S.A., because there is a reason for establishing Brotherhood there. So on the appointed date set for the hearing of the case, the Attorney who was leading the case for the United States Government relayed his dream to his counterparts, the judge thereby gave his ruling that he has abided by what the Father told him in the dream, that whatsoever was the jury’s opinion had nothing to do with him. I-le insisted that Brotherhood be allowed to operate in the U.S.A. Since he was the leading attorney in that area, after he had .declared his stand for the instruction of God, (the whites accord great respect to God and his instructions). He declared that he abided by the instructions of God as revealed to him in the dream, that Brotherhood has come for a specific duty in the U.S.A and So she should be allowed to remain. Now have you not seen what Brotherhood is doing in the U.S.A. Now the United States of America is so fortunate because the benefits of Brotherhood are overflowing the entire country, How would they have come by this fortunate? Brotherhood cannot be obstructed in anything, by anybody or anything. Even now, when a case is to be given the final ruling what the Father says is what is being done.
On the day the final judgement was to be given, there was great argument and so the case had to be adjourned. I sent a letter to Brother Felix so uptil now, the government has not agreed to allow Brotherhood to remain in America? Brother Felix replied that they would not allow Brotherhood to remain. I sent him another letter, ‘this time with the Father’s pronouncement. ‘Now Brotherhood has come to stay in America for ever’. When Brother Felix and the other members saw this letter, they were overjoyed and knelt down and knocked their head on the floor in reverence to God. The case was adjourned to another day, but that was the end of the case. Till now there is no more case, that case died naturally.
The same also happened to that Brother’s case. Now his daughter has withdrawn the case from the court and he is a free man.
GLOBAL SPREAD AND ACCEPTANCE OF BROTHERHOOD:
Brotherhood is now respected in the U.S.A When the Holy Queen Mother visited the U.S.A recently, the government gave her a certificate of recognition. Now in U.S.A., Brotherhood has had a day for celebration yearly, marked ‘Brotherhood Day in America’. Brotherhood has reached London, the governments and everywhere. It first started with my school children who had no money to finance and further their education, but now Brotherhood has big cathedrals and magnificent buildings there, Have you seen how God works? Be well informed that Brotherhood is a thing of joy, but you are taking Brotherhood as a joking matter, a child’s playground. The whites themselves have accepted Brotherhood as demonstrated by Reverend Moon and his followers recently when they donated a scepter, a staff of office, to the father in recognition and acceptance of His leadership. Reverend Moon and all his followers all accepted that God has come down to dwell with man. His member are multiracial. Whenever they come to Nigeria, they must come and see the father in acceptance of his leadership. There too, in their country, do not play with the name of the Father. Within a short period you will all see the influx of the white race into the kingdom. But you are here laughing and joking about, just as brother Essien did. Rather than testify of the great works of the Father in him, he went on to testify about another sister in a derogatory manner thereby confusing the whole issue, so that you will not know the source of his healing. What happened to him was a serious thing which he, a Doctor could not diagnose nor procure remedy for, but now look at him, he is very normal and nothing whatsoever is affecting him Rather than him exposing such miracles so that all would. hear what he as a Doctor could not procure remedy and what God has done for him he went on to testify of what God has done for others. If he should say it out in secret, errs. That is just what the Father expects of him and nothing more. Now that he has not testified to the glory of God in him, how will people hear and know. Now every person is desiring to know Brotherhood, her mission and what she uses to accomplish such great feat.
THE HEALING POWERS OF BROTHERHOOD:
You will all remember that brother from South Africa who came here for a contract job, Unfortunately he took ill seriously until he felt he was going to die here in Nigeria. But one of his co-workers told him, ‘are you not aware of Brotherhood, and her wonderful healing powers? Just go and get baptised into Brotherhood and receive instant healing’. The man wasted no time he went and baptised and immediately his sickness was over, till date. The whites have accepted Brotherhood, but you here are hiding the truth about the glory of God. Is this not what every person is seeking for; the power and the glory of God? But you are joking with it. Reverend Moon and all his members are Brotherhood, They do not doubt the Father as you are doing here, they have fervent belief in the potency of the Father.
ALL B. C. S CHILDREN ARE LIBERATED
Any person who is baptized into Brotherhood is free and all his sickness is over, his lack and wants, weakness, tribulation, lamentation, sorrows are all over. This is not a matter of consulting any person for remedy. But have you revealed these things unto people? Now look at brother Archibong who is now a member of Brotherhood. He told us that he lived in the U. S. A during that period that Brotherhood was rejected there. In fact, he told me everything that happened there, since he had long searched for Brotherhood, having heard that there in America, there was an occultist who was famous in his practice but he never succeeded; but that Brotherhood man had never consulted an oracle, never prepared any concoction, nor consulted any medical Doctor, he is the person who has overcome in all aspect, I have been telling you time without number that all what I do here has no affiliation at all with concoction nor academic tutorials. I have not studied any work that I do here from any source but all the works I do are just by the spoken word abnitio. So this brother came down to Calabar trying to search for me but he could 'not discover where I was. How could he have known me, is it so easy? Even here in kingdom, Senior Witness Ime Akpakpan is urging me to reveal myself unto the world, but I told him no, I do not seek for self-glory. That is why I operate in crafty way, pushing you forward as the doers of this work. Recall the situation in South Africa, the great apartheid that prevailed there whereupon Mandela was imprisoned. I felt very sorrowful over their situation, their years of slavery under the rule of the whites, they had no independence. But by mere pronouncement, ‘Now Freedom has been restored in South Africa, I have granted them independence’ everything became manifested. Now this great work has been documented waiting for the time of its revelation, that it was by the Father’s pronouncement! ‘I have given them independence’ that they were delivered.
Does Mandela have any knowledge of how their independence came about? He did not know because I do not wish them to know. Everywhere, even in the Western World, whatever the professionals; scientists and medical doctors are seeking is secretly embedded in Brotherhood, can the Doctors, be they orthodox or native produce a cure for your sickness? What happened to sister Anni was something mysterious which no one could proffer a cure, but her healing came through the fact that she was close to the Father, a Father who is equal to the task. What God has done in her is great and wonderful and is not hidden. You all have seen these great changes in her. These miracles are what the whole world is seeking for but you here do not regard it as something important. Therefore, I am highly delighted over these great works of the Father to all nooks and crannies of the whole world.
THE WORKING POWER IN BROTHERHOOD:
I was born in 1918 and since I was born, I have not taken any medication, be it orthodox or native, swallow or injected myself with any medicine, yet I am moving along stronger and stronger. All the works that you see me do here, I have not learnt them from any book of knowledge. I have never read the Bible but all the contents of the Bible are embedded in me I came just as I am in order to reveal the glory of God. The whites have tried all possible ways to understand the working power of Brotherhood, but they cannot. Even Witness Ime Akpakpan pleaded with me to reveal myself unto the world, but l said no. Rather the Father has given you all the mandate to go out and tell the world what you see happening here in the kingdom, the great miracles of the Kingdom. Now there is no time left, for I have accomplished all things. All the churches you see operating here and there in the world, are empty, they have no good works in them.
Some of our publications were sent to the universities, but they were not able to read and understand them. Until some of our brothers went there to explain things to them. The whites there were delighted and requested them for more of such visit because prior to their visit, many Brotherhood publications had been sent to them but they could not understand anything, they even confirmed that they do not understand Brotherhood. Then the Father sent people to them to explain what Brotherhood is and her mission to the world.
THE IGNORANCE OF THE WORLD REVEALED:
Another example was related to us by one of our sisters who went and revealed to the whites that our Lord Jesus Christ was crucified on a Thursday, and not on a Friday as the whole world believes, to confirm the statement of our Lord Jesus Christ that he will be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights. But you all are claiming that our Lord Jesus Christ died and was crucified on a Friday and when counted you will see that it is only two days contrary to what Christ himself said, but when you count from Thursday to Saturday nights, you will have three night and three days. Now by this teaching the whole world has seen the truth and is reverting to the teaching of Brotherhood the teaching of Christ - three days and three nights, which is what we are practising here. But the whole world had maintained that Christ was crucified on a Friday which means they are liars.
All the publications of the world have no weight, even if you read through the Bible over twenty times, it does not work because you have missed the mark. But this one, three days and three nights calculation, is exactly what should be done. That is why' whenever you reveal this truth, it will be highly acclaimed because it is the working power in Brotherhood, Our Brother Ime Akpakpan is urging me to reveal to the world this working power in Brotherhood but I refuse, rather let the world go and search for it themselves. Is the world not able to do great works? This is what the whole world is unable to do. If you take a sick person to any place for healing, the people cannot heal him, Are you aware of this fact? Even within yourselves you are wondering why you cannot heal on do great works in the same way as the Father. Well, go ahead and heal. With only the spoken word, ‘go, all is well, all things immediately work out well for you. Any person who comes into Brotherhood and accepts baptism no matter the magnitude of his problem, once he walks into Brotherhood all his problems are over, be it a court case, sickness, problem of any kind, all are over and you will move about majestically. This fact is hidden from you, that is why in event of any little problem affecting you, you say you are leaving Brotherhood. Well l quite agree with you, leave Brotherhood if you so desire. Do you remember our brother in Onitsha, Brother Otti-Bros, who signaled his intention of leaving Brotherhood on the reasons that his mother, his children, his wife have all asked him to come over to the Catholic Church because he was soon to be knighted? I told him, ‘Okay, do you wish to become a knight, alright go and accept the post of a knight. He went out of Brotherhood and was conferred with the post of a Knight that year and the next year, he died. Yes, he died truly. Where else do you get life from apart from the Father. One of our brothers here in Port Harcourt, as soon as he left Brotherhood, he died also. But there is no such thing here in Brotherhood, after all the everlasting life you are seeking for is in Brotherhood. Now have you seen the way I am going about my business in a very simple manner? That is why, you have not seen me involved in any ‘assignment’. So when you think of leaving Brotherhood, you should think twice.
THE FATHER IS THE CUSTODIAN OF LIFE:
Life is not found anywhere except in the Father and once you severe yourself from Him, from life, you are dead. You are now warned. Like that president now facing a lot of problems, once he comes into Brotherhood and accepts baptism, all his problems will be over. But now the whole world is seeking here and there, doing their very best to be free from problems, they have achieved nothing. What can they do when they are already in debt?
THE GODLY IS NEVER AFRAID:
Have you seen me ever praying before making any pronouncement? Anywhere you are, even while walking along the street, once you believe in God, you are free. All those who believe in God, are free, the Father’s pronouncements cover all. Recall that brother who lamented here that his life is no longer safe. If your life is not safe, what else is safe? One with God is majority. Have you ever seen me being afraid of anything? What is there to be afraid of? Rather, things are afraid of me and all things are afraid of us but we are not afraid of anything whatsoever. Such great love of the Father, were it to be established among the whites, oh things would have taken a new shape. But the blacks do not regard it as something important, we do not, at all, acclaim this glory that the Father in his infinite love and mercy has brought down to us, free. So, let my peace and blessing abide with the entire world now and forever more.
Spiritual Chorus ‘Tell the world openly, preach unto the world openly, that Olumba has come in person, and all glory rests upon his shoulder".
SUBMISSION TO GOD GUARANTEES LONGIVITY:
Last week-when Joe Brown came in here, he fixed his gaze at me intensely without knowing what to do. He was flabbergasted over what he saw, I laughed at him because he had seen what he wanted. He had desired to see the Father physically and so he stayed in the hall quietly waiting for the Father. The same thing applies to Okpalla Williams, whenever he comes in here he will have to wait for the Father physically. Have you ever seen such a person, a tree that is likened to this tree that you are seeing now? In your own case, by new you would be walking with the aid' of a walking stick. I was born into the world in 1918 and from then ‘till now I have not cried of pains anywhere in Me, in my hand or my legs? I remain ever young. All of you here even the King of Kings, if I move with you along the street, you will be regarded as old men. Yes, It is a fact. Have you seen any grey hairs on my head? Therefore, brethren, your luck is really great for seeing and bearing witness unto the glory of God. That is why everyone now has piped low and accepted the Father. But when I depart from here, you will start telling stories rather Than witnessing to the glory of God. When have you ever head Me telling stories. I do not tell stories but I give you the words of God All what I say is the direct words bf God, I have never said my own words, as it has been stated in John 16 :l3-25. Have you not seen how I go about my business in a very simple but effective manner?
THE NAME OF POWER:
All of you here, if believe, by just calling upon the name of the Father. you will receive instant testimony. Do you think there is any other thing that I give to you enable you heal the sick, raise the dead and do all wonderful works? The spoken word of the Father, one it falls with the power of God 'Go I have given you power’, and so it stands. Once you call on the name of the Father, that is the only requirement to heal the sick, raise the dead, the blind receive their sight, the lame are made to wall; and every other good work is accomplished. Now that I have given the command that you all should move out the evangelize, preach the word of god and heal the sick. Anywhere you go to, the Father is there to accomplish such task.
After all, the Father is the doer of all things When people will see you in this fashion. they will be surprised over your new position as a healer and they will ask you, `aha; my brother when did you start being among this group? Is there any beginning as far as God himself is concerned? Everything since the inception of time moves on directly as it is expected, end it is what you are witnessing here in Brotherhood.
DOUBT: THE UNDOING OF BELIEVERS:
You do not believe in the potency of the Holy Spirit, the Father. Even witness lme Akpakpan, upon all the teachings l give to him daily, is still doubtful. The same applies to all of you here, you are still filled with doubt in your mind. There is nothing else except the wonderful working power of God and all those who believe will do exactly what they see here; they will raise the dead, heal the sick, the lame will walk and the blind will see and other great works will be done easily. Have you seen any person in the world who stands alone to accomplish all works. Yet people here are arrogating and bragging that they have raised the dead. Where have you raised the dead, if I may ask? Do you think raising the dead is a joke? Have you considered the number of people dying daily? But with the Father at work, once you come in here all your problems are over, and now people are building their belief and faith in God, because of the wonderful working power of God.
FATHER’S WORD: THE ACTIVATING FORCE:
Anywhere you go to, you find a lame person who has been made to walk, a blind person who has received his or her sight, a dead person who has been brought to life, even in Biakpan. This is what is prevailing now, the wonderful working power of God the Father, the Holy Spirit whose predominant influence is felt in the whole world now. I take all these things as hobbies and go about my duties gracefully. If you go and do it the way I do, it will not work, excepting now that I have given you the mandate and empowered you to go out and raise the dead, heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, make the blind to see and the lame to walk. But abide strictly by the steps of the Father, the behaviour and the way of the Father. If you are left to go and do these things yourselves, you will not be able to do them for you were not given the mandate? There is none of you anywhere in Brotherhood whom the Father has not empowered to go out and heal and continue with the good works of the Father, is there any person? But you are now boasting over these achievements extorting and collecting money from people. This work of healing, raising the dead, healing the sick, making the blind to see, the lame to walk, is free of charge. Therefore, let us rejoice immensely because our Lord Jesus Christ had told his disciples that ‘while I am in the world, I am the light of the world. As long as it is day, we must do the work of him who sent Me. Night is coming when no one can work’ (John 9:4-5). Even with me here in your midst, you go about bragging and exalting yourselves over the works accomplished by the Father. But a time is coming when your bragging will no longer be accommodated here in the- Kingdom and you will be silenced forever. Do you think that person or being who gave you the mandate to go out and heal, raise the dead, heal the sick, make the lame walk and blind to see, is no longer operating so that you start having high airs about yourselves? You elevate yourselves and feel important, but do you know how these things come about? Do you know all that is going on now in the world? Instead of pondering over this, you go about feeling important. Oh! What empty pride! Therefore brethren, I am really thankful to the Father because this is the first time the whites have a cause to believe in something. Who, in the whole world, does not know Olumba? But you here do not know the Father. Even the crusaders, who went about evangelising, praying and healing the sick and raising the dead, alright when they separated from the Father and started operating their own way, were they successful? You can never succeed except the Father empowers you. I do not take this work as burdensome but very light and interesting. That is why l dispense this power into you all to go out and heal the sick, raise the dead and do other great works of God, go on evangelism and preach the words of God, everywhere you go to, pray over the sick, heal their infirmities and anywhere you do these things, the sick will be healed and the dead raised. This work does not come from you but from God who has come at this end of time to salvage the whole world from its already deplorable situation, So that we will live in peace. We are not to boast and exalt ourselves over the great works accomplished by Him. Read John 10:9-10. Spiritual Chorus: “The love which Jesus has for me, the love which the Son' of God has for me, the love which Jesus has for me, No one can explain it. –Amen”. The Voice of God (Friday Morning, 20th October, 2000) produced by: Everlasting Gospel Centre 34 Ambo Street, Calabar THANK YOU FATHER
I HAVE NOT COME TO DIE AGAIN
AN EVERLASTING SPECIAL PRONOUNCEHENT DELIVERED BY GOD ALMIGHTY THE VOICE OF GOD
THE PENALTY FOR BLASPHEMY:
Brethren, this is the time to serve God diligently without weariness. I want to tell you that, when you work for God, he will surely work for you in return. For example, the Paramount Ruler of Orukwuku and his chiefs-in-council, were blessed by the Father. Therefore, you must go there and confer his title on him officially, I have appointed Bishop Akwang and others to undertake that assignment. They will be accompanied by one of our brothers here, who is from the area. I want to tell you; that, Brotherhood is an embodiment of great testimonies; these testimonies are the power of God. If you blaspheme against the name of God you will surely pay for it. Do you think that, the kingdom of God is a joke? Right now, the Father has accomplished his works. Heavens and earth and the fullness thereof are in total submission to him. Moreover, peace and harmony prevail throughout the entire world. Families who do not accept the Father, have accepted him today. The people, communities, groups and cities who are arrogant before God, have fully surrendered to the Father. Therefore, l want to tell you that, the truth, the whole truth has come. You are expected to go and preach this truth to the people of the world. When you declare this tidings to them the sick will be healed, the dead will rise and everything will be perfectly well. On the other hand, if you preach about anything else, you will receive a spiritual punch from God and you will crumble and fall. Brethren, I want to tell you that, we are all one, you must always speak with one voice. When you speak the truth always you will not have any problem. On the other hand, if you tell lies you will have problems in life. Have you not seen the problems in the world today? These are caused by the incessant lies you tell. Take my life as an example l remain simple as you have seen me; right from my birth I have remained unchanged. Have you ever heard me complaining of pains in the legs or hands? But you have derailed from the path of rectitude, you follow the people of the world to insult God. I want to tell you that because of your disrespect to God, many problems have visited you. When you refrain from insulting God and stop showing disrespect to God, and you give due glory and honour to God. You will be problem free.
SEASON FOR SCREENING:
Right now, all those who have no faith in God, will be screened. If I may ask what do you, come here for? The truth is needed from you at all times. Right now all the people who do not stand firm in God should be driven away, because they are false witnesses. For so many years I have remained quiet, all of you are witnesses to this. You heard of the great works of Olumba, you came to the Kingdom to receive salvation. As young as you are, you have derailed from the path of rectitude to speaking blasphemy. You say today that Olumba is dead or sick. 1 want to tell you that, If you have such conception you will definitely fall a victim of these things because, Olumba liveth for ever more. He does not take any medication, he does not drink nor have any relationship with a man or a woman. In your own case, you take medicine at random and do anything you like. Have I ever told you that, I am Olumba? Is this body Olumba? I want to declare to you that the Father is Olumba. Many of you are afraid of speaking of the truth you have seen. l want to tell you that many of you have bribed people in one way or the other; but I will never give or take bribe. Therefore, whoever has strong faith in God, is saved. I do not want any penny. If you want to find out the truth, ask of what happened with the Brother, called ‘Let them say’ from Biakpan. Initially, he was not a Brotherhood member, but right from the time he got baptised into the fold, he has brought in many people into the fold. In Biakpan, people who accept Brotherhood because of him are more than two hundred. In your own case, you do not want to glorify God. The Brother was here some time ago, he thanked the Father for what He has done so far. He glorifies the Father at all times. With that, the Father has continued to do more for him. He is ever prepared to do greater than that. I want to tell you that if God were man, all blessings would have been for that Brother, not minding whether you are my brother or my son.
THE ONLY NAME THAT SAVES:
Right now you all believe that the Father has finished his works. I want to tell you that, you should concretise your belief in God. When you do so, if you encounter any problem on your way, the problem will be over. Recall what happened in the past during the days of our Lord Jesus Christ, not many people saw Him. I want to tell you that, when His name had gathered momentum and people used it to perform all sorts of miracles, he was no more there. It is the same now, when you believe in his name, all your problems will be over. It is only the name that will save you. Call him correctly. Many Brotherhood members in order to pacify the outsiders, will say “Jesus Christ has healed your sickness”. Yes, he is our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, whatever deserves honour should be honoured, what is bad in that? The animals will run helter shelter when they see O.O.O on your door post. During Holy Spirit Church Service somebody like Essah, would talk at random without a particular focus. He would call the name of this one today, only to call another one tomorrow. This is a piteous situation. For instance when you plant a yam tuber and it has not grown enough to be harvested, can you plant another one in the same place when the first tuber has not finished its works? I want to tell you that, the yam you plant in the soil before it finishes it work, will first die completely before germinating to a new life. This is the right time to plant yam tubers, to bring forth new ones. Right now the yam is very vibrant and aglow, but you believe that the yam is no more. I tell you, go and bring another yam so that you may realize you have heads, but no knowledge.
THE FATHER IS IMMORTAL:
Do you think I come to die again? All that you are saying is that when you speak evil and fail to believe in God, you are doing yourself more harm than good. As for me, I believe fervently in God. All that the world is saying against God is known to you. You can recall what happened some time ago, when a president of a country visited Nigeria. He asked and was eager to know something about the Father. But one Chief Justice in Nigeria, a Brotherhood member, told him that the Father is dead. Is there anybody who does not believe that the Father has died, have they not passed away? There is one adage which says that, ‘If you want to die, touch the tail of the cow’. What is your problem really? I have taught you, preached to you; I have done everything possible for you. Salvation is for the whole world; the fishes in water, animals and all creatures of God. But if you want to answer the name Olumba, do so. When Olumba wants to do his works, join him in doing the work. You can see Brother Etop and Akwang they really know themselves.
I SEEK NO EARTHLY GLORY:
Brethren, I know, quite well that, you do not practice the words of God. People have been confronting me in one way or the other to come and be a chief and ruler people. I want to tell you that, I do not want any chieftaincy title. I do not want to rule anybody. I do not want motor-cars or any material thing. I am not interested in all these things. I had pronounced that I will bless all those people who believe in Me. Do they place any crown on my Head? Nothing of such is placed on my Head. I want to know those people who know and those people who call on Me Lord, Lord and believe in Me. Right now, I know that three quarters of the house do not believe in the Father. Eyo OKon had already saw that, the people proclaim that they know Jesus Christ not the Father. Now they have revealed themselves that, they only know Jesus Christ. By this they are inviting problems to themselves.
THE FAITHFUL IS PROBLEM-FREE:
I want to tell you that right now, all those who believe in Me, they are totally free, without problems. Right now, all the churches are one. Our Brother, ‘let them say has ten biological brothers but nine have separated from him, he is just alone because of the Father. Many others who had churches of their own, have followed the Father. When you follow the Father everything is alright and you will no more have problems. Even though you walk in the afternoon or night there will be no problem on your way; sometimes your action and deeds bring problems to you. Have I ever asked you to give me any money? Do I tell you that I am this or that? From inception, I told you that, I am Olumba Olumba Obu, I remain who I am. I do not want anything else. When you call on this name you are saved. If you call on the name of Matthew, John or other names, your neck will be cut off. I do not worry because, it is what you want. Whoever knows himself must believe in God, but whoever does not know himself will not believe in God, he will surely receive his comeuppance like a murderer or thief. We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification. For even Christ pleased not himself but, as it is written The reproaches of them that reprorached thee fell on me (Romans 15:1-3) Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the majesty on high; Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they (Hebrew 1:3-4) I am the door, by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. (John 10:9-10)
CONDEMNATION OF UNBELIEVERS:
Brethren whoever believes in Me has eternal life. But whoever does not believe in Me remains condemned and unjustified. Many of the tricksters and swindlers are faced with lots of problems. Many of you proclaim that Olumba Olumba Obu is the real God. The question is, if you have the real God, why do they kill you? Why do they beat you and sentence you to terms of imprisonment? This is because, you do not believe in the Father. This is very clear! Therefore, whoever believes in God is quite free. He is not just free, but free in heaven and on earth. Those who have no faith in God and who only proclaim with their lips that Olumba Olumba Obu is God, Jesus or whosoever, should know that this does not help them. Without having strong faith and belief in God even though you knock your head and call on Jesus, it will not help you. Therefore let us not- deceive ourselves anymore, let us not harm ourselves anymore, but let us believe in our God because, our God is truth, mercy and love. There is nothing he cannot do from inception of the world. Therefore brethren, let my peace and blessing abide with you all, now and forever more - Amen. (Monday, (M) 13th November, 2000)
THE VOICE OF GOD
RE-REGISTRATION OF ERRANT 144,000 VIRGINS (COG)
A SPECIAL PRONOUNCEMENT DELIVERED BY GOD ALMIGHTY THE VOICE OF GOD
IDENTIFICATION OF THE DILIGENT SERVANTS:
Let those who think that they have truly come here to serve God, stand out here and identify themselves. But those who have come here to steal, insult people or compare themselves with people should leave immediately. Let them return to their homes and insult themselves as they please. Our presence here is not by invitation, rather it is the glory of God. I, standing here have received nothing from you and you have done nothing for Me. Even the world has done nothing for Me, but through the love of God I have come so as to liberate those who accept and agree to sacrifice themselves and serve God that they may receive their reward. And those that refuse to serve God, may go their way. The things happening here is this premises are getting out of hand, what have I done to you, the entire world? I give food, cloth, heal your sicknesses and provide all your needs, but, your insolence is very disheartening and tiresome. So if you feel you will not be able to serve God with love, leave us alone and do whatever you feel is good for you. All they that will endure to the end, let them stand firm and indulge not in any gossip against any person, because things such as this often discourage people. It is in this particular year I had a report about the havoc caused by the children of God, and in a short interval this same children of God have caused another problem. Do you want to tell Me that all these things we are witnessing here are caused by outsiders? No they emanate from those same premises, from those who claim they are children of God when they are not. You come here to cause trouble now and then. You come here to hustle for money and other material wealth but I have tolerated your untoward behaviour without vengeance. As if that was not enough, you man-handled My servant and even carried out an 'assignment' against yourselves thinking that you are doing it against another person. You go from one person to another begging and collecting money. You talk anyhow to people. You make unnecessary complaints and reports people randomly, you even pass judgement on one another. No one is invited here, if it pleases anyone to serve God, whether it is just one person that is ready to serve God, that is enough. The number does not deter God. As many that seek to serve God should continue. Those who are not ready to leave this place and do another thing should await their comeuppance.
FATE OF THE RUMOUR-MONGERS:
Through your unseemly behaviour, chiefs from Biakpan have visited this place. They testified that they had an information that there were some problems here and sought to know the cause. God passed through somebody to tell them that nothing happened and that they (the chiefs) should disregard such information. I then had to summon the King of Kings to enquire from Him the offence his sister has committed against him that warranted all these aggrieved actions against her. He replied that the Father had settled everything and there is no more problem between either of them, and also pleaded the Father for forgiveness I also summoned the Holy Queen Mother to come and say what offence her brother has committed against her. She openly replied that the Father had already settled their differences and now they have no problem against each other. She further revealed that the presumed problem going on now is caused by gossipers and rumour-mongers here. But finally we heard another story that armed robbers were sent to rob some people here and everywhere in this premises was locked up, because there are some people here that were listed to be associated. These robbers are sent to come and kill Me. This act is perpetrated by you here and not outsiders. It is the members of Brotherhood that have listed the names of these people to be assassinated. Upon all those things, did you hear my voice? All this while you often hail, wonderful Olumba! Wonderful Olumba! Somebody is planning surreptitiously to kill another. But as the hired assassins were about to hack the person he told them, ‘I am Olumba’s Man’ and he was forgiven. But yesterday you did not take that into consideration and went ahead to carry out your havoc. It therefore, means that you are deceivers. If you were to believe in Me you would not be doing these things.
GOD’S SERVICE IS VOLUNTARY:
As I am sitting here to admonish you, instead of listening to Me, you engage in gossiping and corrupt communication. You only make noise here and disregard My injunctions, cursing and abusing one another. If you feel you are tired of serving God, you can leave immediately to your father’s and mother’s house. If you feel you have come here to cause trouble, then you have to leave this premises now. Do not cause trouble here, instead go to your house and cause trouble there. If you have come here to serve your God who created you, continue to serve him for he will reward you. I have come not to administer judgement unto man. I have come not to beat nor bother any person. You have not given Me money, neither have you given Me honour nor do you tell Me the truth. You do not listen nor adhere to the preaching l impart morning and night. Instead you go out to earn your Iivelihood and seek your well-being, while others seek glory and materialism. Therefore brethren, such things are often discouraging. This work is not a paid work nor any man’s work but we have Been called by God to come and serve Him. So they that accept to serve Him to the end will receive reward. But if you feel you are not ready to serve Him, return to your parents' house and do whatever pleases you. For I do not want any person at all except those who have humbled themselves. Which day have I flogged or slapped you? Which day have I cursed or abused you? Which day have I starved or excommunicated you? But if you stay here and cause a lot of problems, telling lies against people you are an outcast because I do not require such things here. I had vowed since 1942 that no one will be able to get Me annoyed. Tell lies the way it pleases you, steal and fornicate the way it pleases you, blaspheme the way it pleases you yet you will not hear Me say anything nor condemn you, I will not even stamp My feet in protest of your misbehaviour. But does that silence not sound a warning to you? Something of this nature had happened before, this particular year. They (C.O.G) insulted and harassed Apostle Odum, issuing warnings and threats to him. Now, this same year they have done the same things to the bishops who were undertaking a certain assignment at that time, this same children of God insulted and embarrassed the bishops. Even all of you here are lighting against the bishops and the pastors. You make them to resign from key offices and in the process, take away their wealth of experience and significant material contributions from the Kingdom. Were you the people who brought those bishops into this fold? So, if you are not ready to serve God, just leave now to you parents’ houses. After that incident concerning the bishops, another one happened this particular year, this one happened just a day ago. Some members brought armed robbers to come and kill people, because of this, four gates in this compound were locked. Everyone including the whites are afraid of Brotherhood, but you who claim to be Brotherhood, you do not have any fear for Brotherhood. No Brotherhood member is afraid of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. As I am sitting down here, you are uttering whatever pleases you, you tell lies the way it pleases you. But does such a person believe in God? Irrespective of this I do not utter even a word.
GOD CANNOT BE KILLED:
Now is the dawn of a new day, and I am still alive and kicking so why all the complaints, that you are listed among those to be killed? That is a misstatement. Why do you in Brotherhood tend to behave as lunatics? Yes, I call them lunatics, because their behaviours quality the description. Can somebody who is immortal die? How many times do I have to die? Do you think I am a person that somebody can threaten to kill and I jitter? or do you think I am somebody, who would begin to plead for leniency when threatened? I will instead be fully prepared. A certain saying has it that death has met with the murderer. Come on and kill Me and you will be justified if I have committed any sin by inviting you to come and eat the living bread. What kind of work have you accomplished? You were sick and the Father healed you. You were unemployed and the Father gave you a job. You had nothing at all, but the Father provided you with everything, besides protecting and feeding you. All of you (COG) are birds of the same feather. Unless I see those who have come here to do the work of God, l will not fail to cry aloud. I will only use those who have come here to do the work of God. Those who have come here to cause trouble, I will dissolve them today. I wonder where you will go to. All those God has chosen are they that will do this work to the fullest. I was not the one who chose you, that is why you are behaving so. I was awaiting your corpse today, because your misbehaviour has reached the peak, you address elderly people as if you are addressing kids. Have you ever witnessed a dead person meeting with murderers? I had already died, so I cannot die again. You had the effrontery to insult my Children (Bishops) without fear.
DIBCONTENTMENT: A FACTOR IN VIOLENCE:
You who claim you are workers of God, you lack godly fear and God in you. That is why you threaten one another now and then. You make threats and throw additional challenges. You had the bold mind to beat up Bishop Ejadawe even to the point of death, but some of those armed robbers you brought rescued him (Ejadawe). Now imagine, if I were not a living God, what would you have done to Me. I was preparing to bury some corpse today. Who is he that is so daring and defiant, who can volunteer to come and cause such problem here in Brotherhood? What would have brought him here? Here, we are jovial with everyone, we exist in love and peace with everyone. Whether you steal, kill or lie, l still feed you and no one bother you. But you are not contented with these things. Do you want Me to run away from this place? If l run where will l go to? lam not going anywhere, l continue to stay here, because l had chosen to stay here in good and bad times, that is My work. l do not want money. Neither do l seek great honour nor praises. So if you wish to abuse, continue to abuse. If you wish to curse go ahead and curse. Even ii you wish to beat up somebody, go ahead and beat. Whatever you wish to do, continue in it, after all, it shall come to an end. That is what l expect from you now, disregard lip service, threats and abuse, but put into action anything you wish to do. Those that are good in carrying out ‘assignment’, let them go on. Each and every one of you (COG) should come and speak out his mind. If you refuse to come that means you have excluded yourself from the pew'(COG). So let each person stand out and speak out whatever he or she has in mind. Whether it is beating Me up, come out and do so. Whether you intend to shoot Me, Go ahead and shoot for the Father has given you the ability. But do not forget about some of the things l had spoken from time to time.
Read Matthew 23: 1-15 “Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples, saying, The Scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses ’ seat: All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works; for they say, and do not. For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne and lay them on men 's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one to their fingers. But all their works they do for to be seen of men; They make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him two fold more the child of hell than yourselves”.
CONDITION FOR REABSORPTION:
Have you understood the contents of that excerpt? A man is responsible for his predicament. All they who know that they will do this work should register their names with Brother Uno (COG) and sign an undertaking that they will henceforth render unconditional service unto God. If you fail to register your name and sign the undertaking you have expelled yourself and I do not need you any longer for you are one of the violent ones and that is how God designed it. This insult is too much here! l really know you do not abide by My words. A certain man took his wife to the shrine of a Juju doctor, this man who was a Brotherhood member. On reaching there, he saw a brotherhood certificate pasted on the wall of the shrine, this man then asked the Juju doctor if he was a brotherhood doctor. The juju doctor replied in the affirmative, asking him what he thought he was, he further asked this man where he worshipped. It was then that the juju doctor disclosed to this man that he is brotherhood, but told the man, he is not a brotherhood, because that was not a place a Brotherhood member was expected to be seen. The man disclosed to the juju doctor that he is a brotherhood member. The juju doctor, on hearing this, had to drive him and his wife from the shrine. He told them that they did believe not in God, that he is a brotherhood and he uses it to heal people’s sickness, but that they were unbelievers that was why they visited his shrine.
THE VIOLENT SHOULD LEAVE IN PEACE:
Yes! You have refused to do what the Father says. None amongst you here, is ready to practise the word of God. Instead you come here to cause problems and violence unto My workers. You are not ready to do the work God assigned you, yet you are extorting money from people. You indulge in various acts of sin, but have l uttered even a word upon all these things? Yet you are not satisfied with that. Can you scatter what God has harmonised? If you are able, then go ahead. Lf you seek to leave here and go to another church denomination, you are at liberty to do so. l will have no regrets about your departure. instead of somebody coming to scatter what God has put together let him leave this place. You have no fear of God in you. The same thing with the pastors, bishops, reverends and elders. Even those that call themselves bishops, they go around giving people false information, that God said this or that. When did God say what you are telling people? Therefore, brethren. I do not require problem here, let that person who is about to register the new applicants’ names come and sit right before Me for close supervision, for l do not require just any person, but those that will humble themselves and abide by My words. You have heard that the scriptures enjoin that all they that exalt themselves shall be abased and they that humble themselves shall be exalted. But you exalt yourselves, aspiring to become bishops, elders, controllers, yet there is no gospel you are able to practise, You do not even honour Me, let alone the workers of God.
PARADOX OF THE OBSTINATE SERVANT:
I came to establish a school so as to teach you love, mercy, truth. humility and togetherness. I admonish that no quarrelling, fighting and abuse is admissible. That is what l have brought to you but you have the bold mind, just as the scriptures say, to behave in such an unseemly manner. Leave me alone, you refuse, then stay and a little by Gods instructions, you refuse. What do you want then? Here, no one forces another to serve God. l have finished and all they that have ears have heard, but whosoever hears not the word of God, will share in hell fire, Who will come here to preach the word of God to you when everyone who comes here, comes for the purpose of hearing God’s words himself? You have heard about that man from Biakpan who is popularly known as ‘let them say? Before now he was in the world but now he is here all day. When he was of the world, he detested the words of God, but he finally became devoted to Gods work, even to the point that the people of Biakpan and the environs were perplexed. But you that claim you came here to practice the word of God, are beating and man handling people, disgracing and insulting them. You are telling lies against people, quarrelling and fighting people here in this kingdom. What is it that you came here to do? So all of you (COG) that are ready to serve God should come and register your names and sign an undertaking of good behaviour. If any person refuses to register his or her name here, and sign an undertaking I will cancel his or her membership and expel him or her from Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. I do not wish to hear even a slight noise, let alone trouble. If you wish to cause trouble, better leave. Just leave here and go your way. Uno, I have ordered all they that feel they will do this work to come and re-register their names and address with you. Those whose names are not in that register, have automatically declared themselves against the pew. Last night, as l was lying here, I overheard people saying that some Area Boys' parading this premises are intending to kill some brethren here. If l may ask, who are perpetrators of this dastardly act, are they not members of brotherhood who have no regard for the Father, that informs their inviting the so called ‘Area boys’ to come and lynch people here?
