Volume VIII

Brethren, I have been very desirous of seeing the Holy Queen Mother about the message I have for you all. I intend to let all of you have this message today. It is meant for the Brotherhood World and now is the right time for it. Our God is truthful; He is worthy and rewarding. So one person cannot work and another receives the reward. Your rewards will come directly to you.

This is what is happening to our Holy Queen Mother. You are all aware of the great work God our Father has used her to do in this kingdom. That is why the scripture says that you should give to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s. (Luke 20:21-25). Whoever overcomes shall have his reward without hindrance. Though the Holy Queen Mother is not verbose neither is she talkative, complaining, nor does she tell people Her plights, yet all that happen to or affect others equally happen to and affect Her. She regards the problems of others as hers. She does not report persons nor matters but endures things patiently. No one should be offended about what is going on. I plead with the Holy Queen Mother not to be annoyed with all that has happened. Invite everybody to come inside the Hall (34 Ambo) so as to receive the message I have for the entire world. Henceforth, and forever, there should be no struggling for anything in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ - Amen. This information must reach all nooks and crannies of the universe to even the so-called wise and learned as well as those who claim to be on top of the world.

It is said that, it is not he that commendeth himself that is approved, but whom the Lord commandeth. (2nd Corinthians l0:8). It is said that he who exalts himself shall be abased and he that humbles himself shall be exalted (Matthew 23:12). Therefore, let everybody be calm, concentrate on your work and think properly about yourself. For each person will receive the reward for his work hereafter. This is the foremost information meant for the entire world. I have waited for a long time that each and everyone may receive his or her reward. I want the Holy Queen Mother to be invited here to receive this message. Let not the Holy Queen Mother be sorrowful. If she was ever sorrowful, let Her rejoice now.

If she was always reflective or thinks much, she should stop. Let such thoughts die away. This is because she has fought and conquered. She has taken over the glory unto Her Father.

I am very thankful to the Father. I glorify Him because He has a true child. A child of faith, love, peace, mercy, truth, grace, righteousness and who is worthy to be crowned the good daughter of the Father; in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ - Amen.

I am aware of the fact that the worldly people in the kingdom and outside are now peddling rumours and false stories all over the place. But since He is God, He remains God, His, is the truth and, His words are true; in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ - Amen.

What I am going to tell you, I will neither add nor subtract. This is the eternal truth in its totality. You are witnesses that most times a lot of people boast, brag and parade themselves as personalities. They would do many things in order to attract honour, fame and glory unto themselves. Upon all their attempts they have achieved nothing. However, the Holy Queen Mother will address you all today. You are expected to keep silence before Her.

This is the appointed time of God and God’s time is the best, and humanity has been waiting for the time of God’s glory. So, it is today that I will listen to you all to tell me your minds 'whether this kingdom is for the thieves, dupes, swindlers, deceivers, men, women, children, adults, liars, truthful persons, honest people, sinners or righteous people. I want you to tell me whether this kingdom belongs to the looters and armed robbers. Tell me whether this kingdom belongs to he that parades himself highly. But recall what is written that it is not he who exalts himself that is approved. It is not he who glorifies himself that is important, but he whom God approves. You can therefore see how things are in the kingdom today.

I want everybody to express his or her 'mind in testimony today, because people have been making all sorts of utterances against others. But all your gossip will be openly heard today. Are you not afraid and ashamed to backbite others when you are not righteous? You have no atom of goodness in you yet you go about gossiping. Your record is devoid of righteousness yet you have the audacity to speak ill of others. I have told you that, all the people I appoint into key positions today are to be in such positions forever to render services to God. You who continue to ridicule, jeer and mock at people should know that the dilapidated boat by the seashore is owned by someone. Those of you who laugh carelessly and open your mouths very wide so that your teeth could be seen should take heed. It is one’s handwork that follows after him. Whatever a man sows same shall he reap.

No one takes another’s reward, I have told you this from the beginning. You who are out there making claims and counter-claims, what is your work? What have you done to merit a good reward? What is your contribution to the growth of the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star.

The words of God are mysterious indeed. The way of God is wonderful. Those who have been laughing at Ime Akpakpan and jeering at him will see Ime having the last laugh. Ime Akpakpan is free to say his mind as he testifies. I have always known him; what and who he is, I equally know each and everyone of you. Ime will remain in the position that I have kept him forever. Who knows the ways of God? The ways of God are beyond the comprehension of man. All of you in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star have been talking randomly, sometimes emotionally. You have jumped to hasty conclusions about issues that you do not understand. I have come to clarify these issues today. Whoever has gone to call the Holy Queen Mother should hasten up for I am anxiously waiting. Ime Akpakpan do you know all those who mocked at you? (Response - Yes Father). I want you to bring their names to me. For eternity you shall not be relegated to the background. You will not have cause to lament for if our God were not Omnipotent, the innocent people would have fallen victim. Even the culprits would have been set free and the innocent people roped in and convicted.

Once our Mother, the Holy Queen Mother arrives, we shall all rise and dance and give praises to God. Whatever you may be if you do not fall on your face and greet Her, praise Her in songs; I would only keep mute when you shall receive your due reward. Whatever you may be you have to do this. Know that you are nothing, so any day any person would say a word against Her, that day such a person will know what I am. You will receive your reward.

All this while you have been struggling and making claims but what have you achieved? What is your contribution to this kingdom? But our Mother, that wonderful woman, is one of the best persons in conduct and comportment. She is both mother, child and everything to me. She entertains no fear in whatever she does. You have heard the testimony of Ime Akpakpan about her. She does not like suppression, oppression and cheating. She does not like hatred, chaos and exploitation. She wants all things to be orderly and peaceful. Where she senses confusion or trouble she would send, peace makers. But those who are haters of humanity, the enemies of mankind go about spreading cock and bull stories about her. They even call her so many false and evil names. All those who have been telling lies against her are now in prison.

Our Mother does not want any person to suffer, neither does she say dirty words against any person. Now you who say evil against others have you done good? Say one good thing that you have done, you who claim that you have come to oversee the affairs of the house. Whose person’s house are you taking care of? Whose house are you watching over?

If I should hear even one person speak ill about our Holy Queen Mother, then such would know where he or she is. Our Mother, the Holy Queen Mother is to superintendent over everything in this kingdom. If you want to get anything in this kingdom, go to her. This is so because she alone has love for all. She does not cheat, tell lies, hate nor suppress anybody. She is worthy of this position. I want to see those who have love and can practise it. It is not a matter of raising your head high and making unfounded claims. You want to be made overseer of one thing or the other but you do not possess love. What will you oversee when you do not have love?

Channel all your requests to the Holy Queen Mother for she alone has the sole right to grant your requests in this kingdom. Any person who would not jubilate at the arrival of Our Mother nor reverence Her would be sent out of this kingdom. You can see the love of God as is demonstrated by Ime Akpakpan. When all those who jeered and mocked at him were to be arrested, he pleaded on their behalf that they be set free. But I want to let you know that all those who did this to him are now in detention. Our Mother, the Holy Queen Mother is here, today is Her day. Anyone who does not dance or is not happy should find his way out. Those who say that they are rendering service to God must sing His praises and give thanks to Him always. If you claim to be a Brotherhood and servant of God yet you do not give thanks to God day and night then your claim has no substance. Always appreciate the goodness of your God. Remember that faith without works is dead. If you say that you are Obu’s child yet you do not show appreciation, then you are a fake. Rise and appreciate your God so that you may receive His blessings, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ - Amen. lf you Cannot do it, keep your mouth shut and allow others to do it.

Come and show your thankful heart to the Father. Do not come empty handed. You keep saying that you love Obu yet you come here empty handed. What do you think you are doing? I want to show you the true children of Obu.

Today is really the day of the Holy Queen Mother. Whosoever would foment any trouble will have himself to blame. Nobody should cause trouble nor incite others against the authorities in the throne of God. If anyone says that he knows what God is, let such a person declare himself. He should show himself and explain how he brought this our God to being or tell us how he made God to be as He is. If you do not know what is going on in this Kingdom you have to keep quiet. If you are not able to do any good Work stay calm instead of fomenting trouble.

Anyone who breaks the law by his words or actions shall bear his burden; such person will go in for it. Each and everyone must bear his own burden. No one will carry the load of another. You will suffer for your actions, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ - Amen.

Now I am repeating this to you all that this child, the Holy Queen Mother, should not be disturbed. If any person should say anything against Her, such a person Will receive the due reward of his action. Right from today (20th January, 2001), anybody who reports the Holy Queen Mother to me again, punishment, sorrow and destruction go to such a person. Such a person will suffer for his action and this is the veritable truth. God is not a respecter of any person. I am the one who gave Her all the positions that she is occupying. I am the one who sent Her to do the job. She is not in any way found wanting in all the jobs I assigned Her to perform.

She is very willing to continue with Her work as was given to her by Me. She will do this till eternity, for that reason I have told you this truth so that he who has ears to hear, may hear. Anyone who seeks salvation for his soul should keep his mouth shut. Such should also remove his or her hands from causing confusion, commotion or trouble in this Kingdom in matters related to the Holy Queen Mother. Whoever levels any form of allegation against the Holy Queen Mother is perished. Whoever makes negative reports against her will suffer the same fate.

I did not teach you to cause confusion, trouble, violence nor tell lies. I did not permit all the upheavals that were witnessed here, but you rather instigated them. l do not want such things again, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ - Amen. Now, may the peace and blessings of God be with you now and forever more - Amen.

When you come into Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, examine yourself as you continue to be a member. Ask yourself what and how you have contributed to the growth of this kingdom. Also, ask yourself what you have brought into and what use you are to Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. Is your own part here not to steal Brotherhood’s money? You keep embezzling whatever money that comes your way. The other aspects you specialize in are, incitement and anarchy in the kingdom.

I have brought this kingdom to exist and have laid its solid foundation and operation in love. This kingdom also embraces kindness, mercy, unity, humility, truth, oneness and all the good things of God Almighty. Let it be known to you that the only person who has done something for Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, the first person in that matter, is Bishop Ejedawe. He and one other person contributed towards the progress of this kingdom. What have you done that you should be causing confusion and instability here and there? That is not what is expected of you here. I repeat that whoever would want to see good days must refrain from speaking, planning and or executing falsehood and evil in this kingdom. Go! All is well in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ - Amen.

(Saturday Morning 20th January, 2001) Thank you Father.

The Sole Spiritual Head The King of Kings & Lord of Lords.

Beloved brethren, .on the 13th of October, 2000, during morning service, the Holy Father while in the altar, sent for me. Ordinarily, I thought within me that, it was in connection with our usual morning testimony to glorify His Holy name. It was on that day, that the Father made the historic pronouncement on the elevation of the Secretary General and Head of Administration in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star and also the sole signatory to Brotherhood official documents. The Holy Father furthermore crowned that pronouncement with this occasion of the formal reception of the Secretary General and Head of Administration today. We are thankful to the Holy Father for making the reception a reality. I feel greatly honoured by this Wonderful reception most especially as it did not come from man nor from angel but directly from the Holy Father whom I serve.

Beloved brethren, permit me to briefly inform you on how I began the service in the vineyard. When I returned from the United States of America in 1979, I had the opportunity of working in the Cross River Basin Authority, but I turned down the offer because I had made up my mind to serve the Father. I was thereafter appointed the General Secretary of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star in 1981 by the Father. As the General Secretary in the Kingdom, the Father also conferred on us the responsibility of signing most official documents for the Father. By virtue of that office, the Father in us was directly responsible for the day to day implementation of the Father’s divine directives in the entire administrative set-up in the New Kingdom. Beloved brethren, from then till now l cannot recall when the Father made any pronouncement transferring the responsibilities entrusted us to another person. Therefore, the divine declaration of the Father on the 13th October, 2000, was a confirmation of this office and the responsibilities, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ -Amen.

And about twenty years of service before the Father, today the Father in His infinite wisdom and love has recognized Himself in His humble daughter.

This occasion is therefore, significant in two different ways. First, it means that no matter the time it takes, no diligent service to the Father is ever forgotten. Secondly, the cardinal teachings of the Father on love for one another and equality of His entire creation is here demonstrated. As the Father loves a man, so He loves a woman. As He loves a little child He equally loves and elderly person. There is no gender discrimination before God for we all are one in the Father.

Beloved Brethren, on many occasions in His sermon, the Holy Father has been teaching us that, there is no discrimination as to rich or poor, man or woman, black or white, children and adults in the New Kingdom of God. It is therefore as a result of paying lip service to or complete disregard of the Father’s teaching that one would question the rationale behind the appointment of a woman as the Secretary-General and Head of Administration in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. When the Father speaks, who are we to question His divine order and authority? It is written:

Nay but, O man, who art thou that replies against God? Shall the thing formed say to Him that formed-it. Why hast thou made me thus? Hath not the potter Power over the clay, of the same lump to make one Vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? (Romans 9:20-21).

Nothing ever takes the Father by surprise. All appointments and promotions even in the secular World are directed by Him If the Father does not appoint one, none can be appointed no matter our wealth of knowledge, status in life or by intimidation.

The confirmation of the Secretary-General and Head of Administration from the Father should therefore, not be seen as solely for me as a person but to the entire brethren and lovers of truth in the New Kingdom. My position is to render selfless service before the Father with all my might and the resources available to the glory of the Father and the whole Kingdom of God, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ - Amen. Therefore, with this wonderful recognition from the Father, I hereby pledge to continue to serve Him at any level He directs me, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ - Amen.

Brotherhood is God’s own kingdom directly from above and Led by God Almighty Himself. We all are His children and tools in His hands, He directs the affairs of everyone of us and what goes on in the Kingdom. His leadership is not by election or appointment from any mortal nor is it contestable. All authority and power in heaven and on earth have been given to Him. He has no deputy nor assistant. It is therefore erroneous for some misinformed people to believe that, the Father has handed over the leadership of the New Kingdom to someone. My position as a Secretary General and Head of Administration is clear. I take all directives from the Holy Father and make sure that His divine directives are implemented to the letter. How can the rulership of the Holy Spirit be handed over to anybody on earth? Is it possible? The Father is fully in charge of His Kingdom and shall continue to lead us eternally. Indeed, the leadership of the Brotherhood is not in question. As the Sole Spiritual Head of the Universe, the King of kings and the Lord of lords, the founder of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, Leader O. O. Obu, is our Leader, our God, Our Father.

The Trinity is an indivisible Godhead and unified in one entity called the Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent (O. O. O.). All glory and honour belong to Him alone. He has come to reign and shall reign and reign forever, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ - Amen.

Beloved Brethren, the Father has repeatedly informed us that, Brotherhood of the Cross and Star represents the entire creation of God. The plants, the animals, birds of the air, the fishes, insects, man, the Hades, visible and invisible beings. Those of us who have received this recondite wisdom from the Father and believe in Him as the Comforter and finisher of our faith should remain unshakable in our faith. It is the place of God’s children to inform our critics that Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is larger than any carnal family on earth and that, Brotherhood cannot be said to belong to a Single family nor a race. In other Words, Brotherhood is the family of God embracing all the children of God all over the World. Those who believe in the Father and do His commandments are His children no matter where they come from. Whenever you are baptised and have accepted the rulership of the Holy Spirit, it means that yourself and your entire family are under Brotherhood of the Cross and Star and the care of the Father. Brotherhood is destined to serve as a place of refuge for God’s own people. Therefore, it is not an accident for any of us to belong to this kingdom. I believe we all had been destined to be partakers of the glory of God, at this end time to be with the Father as stated. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the Tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God /Revelations 21.-3).

The Father has come to reign and shall reign and reign forever. He is the beginning and the end. Whatever He opens cannot be closed and what He has closed cannot be opened by anybody, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ - Amen.

Beloved brethren, in conclusion, I use this Wonderful occasion to appeal to the entire brethren both at home and abroad to come together and team up in the true spirit of Brotherhood. Our differences in levels of understanding, character, colour of the skin, language and place of abode are merely human and artificial barriers which cannot prevent the strong bond of unity and oneness we have inherited from the Holy Father. The entire Brotherhood is one and indivisible, the Father is one, the Leadership in Brotherhood is one and there i s one love, one faith and one hope, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ - Amen. Brotherhood of the Cross and Star has come to stay and shall continue to grow in leaps and bounds, firmly established in all parts of the world. The labour and suffering of the Holy Father shall never be in vain. He has come with an iron rod to lead us into everlasting joy and glory and we all are joint-heirs to this glory in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Brethren, once again, I wish to express my gratitude to the Holy Father for His love and mercy to us all. I thank Him immensely for making this wonderful occasion a huge success. May I also express my sincere gratitude to the members of the planning committee for their untiring efforts towards the overall success of this occasion. I thank all our guests who have found time to respond to our invitation in' spite of the short notice and festivity of the period. May the Father richly bless you all, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ - Amen. We gratefully acknowledge your contributions and gifts individually and collectively. The Father has used this occasion to shower His everlasting peace, prosperity, greater spiritual awareness and abundant blessing to the entire brethren the world over. All who have come here with one problem or the other, right now the Father has put an end to such problems.

The year 2001 is a year of abundant blessing and great testimonies for the entire children of God; a year of elevation in offices and in all our individual endeavour.

Those in need of jobs, visas, husbands, wives, children, good health and all other things that promote your physical well-being have today been lavishly endowed, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ - Amen.

Above all, the' Holy Father has changed us for the better and endowed us with all heavenly gifts in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ - Amen. Finally brethren, I urge you all to be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall continue to be with you, in name of our Lord Jesus Christ - Amen.

The Father has taken us safely back to our various destinations and May His Peace and abundant blessing be with you and the entire world, now and forever more, Amen.

Thank you Father.
