THE VISIT OF THE AFRICAN AMERICANS:

If you had the opportunity to listen to a testimony by one professor from the USA, Professor Souchy, you would have realized the plight of the African American, in spite of their economic well-being. Some of them are well-read, some are millionaires and billionaires, yet they have no say in the affairs of their country. Where lies the hope of the African American in the U.S.A.? BUT WITH HIS VISIT TO THE HOLY

FATHER AND THE HOMAGE PAID, HIS FELLOW AFRICAN AMERICANS ARE LIBERATED FORTHWITH. RIGHT NOW THEY ARE SAVED BECAUSE THEIR HOPE IS IN THE HOLY SPIRIT. The visit of the Professor and his team is not exclusively for themselves but for the entire African American race and the world at large. THEY HAVE NOW GOT A COMFORTER, SAVIOR, AND A PROTECTOR WHO CANNOT AFFORD TO DISAPPOINT THEM.

AN ERA OF WOMEN LIBERATION:

Right now we have women who are great educators, millionaires, administrators, professors, engineers, pilots, political activists. In times past, it was not so. Women were only seen and not heard. They were not included in the scheme of things. THIS KINGDOM DOES NOT PERMIT SEGREGATION OR DISCRIMINATION ON THE BASIS OF SEX, COLOR, RACE, TRIBE, LANGUAGE, STATUS, OR RANK. WE ARE ALL LIBERATED, IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.

THE DAWN OF SPIRITUAL EMANCIPATION:

The two African Americans who recently got baptized were professors of religious studies and philosophy in reputable universities in the USA. For accepting to baptism into the new kingdom, their eyes are now opened. They can now acknowledge things in the higher spiritual planes and in esoteric horizons. They have decided to embrace this God in their best interest and in the interest of the rest of the blacks.

An evangelist by name Iyrke once testified that one brother Okon, (not a baptized Brotherhood member) told him that he heard a voice saying that Okon's power had been snatched from him. This was since 1984 and since then the man has remained powerless. THIS KINGDOM IS NOTHING ANYBODY SHOULD TOY WITH, BECAUSE AT THE FULLNESS OF TIME THOSE WHO THE HOLY SPIRIT IS REVEALING HIMSELF TO WILL TROOP IN TO WORSHIP HIM. AND EVENTUALLY ALL KNEES SHALL BOW AND ALL TONGUES SHALL CONFESS HIS GLORY. As the lightening comes from the East and flashes to the West, so also is the coming of the Holy Spirit. THERE IS NO ONE WHO CAN ACHIEVE ANYTHING EXCEPT HE IS MOTIVATED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. It is written in the scripture that: FOR WHERESOEVER THE CARCASS IS, THERE WILL THE EAGLES BE GATHERED TOGETHER.(Matthew 24:28). That was why the three wise men came all the way from the far east to pay homage to Our Lord Jesus Christ. They had to go from the East to Bethlehem to worship the STAR, in line with the statement that wherever the carcass is, there will the eagles gather. They enquired from people to know where they could locate the one who is born king of the Jews,(Matt 2:2), for they wanted to worship Him. IN THE SAME VEIN WE HAVE COME TO WORSHIP HIM IN THIS GENERATION. THIS SINGULAR ACT OF WORSHIPPING HIM SHALL CONTINUE FOREVER AND EVER. It is because you do not understand the essence of His arrival, that instead of glorifying Him, you persistently ask for children, position, money, car, house, husband, wife, and other mundane things. However it is believed that when you will fully come to the realization of this dispensation, you will get your priorities right. Why should you ask for carnal things when your Father knows what is really good for you? Is this what you have been invited for? The Holy Spirit is power, husband, wife, children, riches, He is both heaven and earth. If you had known this you would not have sought for anything else. We should thank Him and rejoice greatly for His arrival on earth. Our joy, peace, and happiness have no beginning nor an end, for He Who is on the throne has a glorious canopy which shelters us day and night. We shall neither hunger nor thirst any longer. No more

sickness and death, we can neither be beaten by rain nor suffer from the scorching of the sun because our everlasting redeemer and source of joy lives. NOW ONE WHO LISTENS TO OUR PRAYERS AND ACTS PROMPTLY IS IN OUR MIDST. OUR COMFORTER WITH HIS TENDER MERCY AND KINDNESS HAS COME. THEREFORE THERE IS NONE WHO CAN TORMENT US OR KNOCK OUR HEADS ANYMORE. Instead of being tormented by the people of the world, we rather become something very awful to them because we have assumed His glorious image. That is the more reason our joy has no beginning nor and end. WE HAVE BEEN SET FREE FROM THE DEMONIC INFLUENCE OR ANY OTHER FORM OF BONDAGE. Read the first lesson once again.

THE SPIRIT OF FALSEHOOD VRS. THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH

GOD'S WORDS ARE SACROSANCT

Our Lord Jesus Christ has said that heaven and earth will pass away, but not an iota of the word of God shall pass away. (Matthew 24:35). The word of God is not deficient in power. That is why when the word of God is spoken, it will do mighty works; and can break mighty stones to manifest its purpose. (Matthew 21:44). Right from Genesis to Malachi, the words prophesied about Him had been consummated. If you are told by someone that there will be rain by 12 noon the following day, and eventually the rain does not fall, how will you regard such a person? Similarly if a being tells you that there will be a heavy down-pour by noon tomorrow, and by noon the following day it rains cats and dogs, how shall you regard that personage? THAT IS HOW THE SPIRITS OF FALSEHOOD AND ERROR ARE BEING DIFFERENTIATED FROM THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH. IF A PERSON SAYS THAT BY 12 NOON THE NEXT DAY THERE WILL BE RAIN, AND EVENTUALLY BY THAT TIME THERE IS NO RAIN, THAT SPIRIT IS NOT FROM GOD. BUT IF HE PREDICTS THAT THERE WILL BE RAIN AND IT RAINS AS PREDICTED, THEN THAT SPIRIT IS DIRECTLY FROM THE FATHER ALMIGHTY. THAT IS WHY HE IS THE TRUTH AND HIS WORDS ARE TRUE. OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST INTIMATED HIS DISCIPLES THAT THE COMFORTER, AND EVEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH SHALL BE SENT WHOSE WORDS SHALL BE TRUE. HE ALSO SAID THAT THE COMFORTER SHALL TEACH AND LEAD ALL TO THE ACCURATE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH. (John 16:12-14).

 GOD IS LOVE, GOODNESS, AND KINDNESS. THAT IS WHY HE HAS COME TO THE BLACK RACE HAVING SEEN THAT THE BLACKS ARE FILLED WITH EVIL AND WICKED ATTITUDES. IT IS FOR THIS REASON THAT HE HAS MADE A NEW COVENANT WITH US, AS OPPOSED TO THE FORMER ONE HE MADE WITH OUR FOREFATHERS. AT THE FULLNESS OF TIME,"I WILL CALL THEM MY PEOPLE WHICH WERE NOT MY PEOPLE AND HER MY BELOVED WHICH WAS NOT MY BELOVED." I want you to realize that this work is not done by you or by flesh and blood, but by the Holy Spirit. Many of you refer to people as teachers, doctors, lawyers and give other people glory that they can heal, raise the dead, compose songs. WHEN WE SAY THESE THINGS WE ARE BLASPHEMING. THERE IS NOBODY WHO CAN COMPOSE SONGS APART FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT. When you refer to someone as a good visioner, there is no visioner except the Holy Spirit. You give glory to human beings by referring to a particular person as a good charm remover. No one can extract charms except the Holy Spirit. You say that man is generous. No one has generosity apart from the Holy Spirit. You say that person is powerful. No one is powerful except the Holy Spirit. You say a person is very intelligent or knowledgeable. I am telling you that no one has wisdom. We should refrain from giving vain glory to ourselves and to other people. INSTEAD WE SHOULD GIVE ALL GLORY AND HONOR TO GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT. HE HAS NOT COME IN A SIMPLE WAY, BUT IN A WAY WHICH BAFFLES WHOLE WORLD. HE HAS NOT COME AS A STRANGER OR AS THE SON. HE HAS COME AS THE TRINITY OF GOD THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. HE HAS NOT COME TO PLAY BUT TO REFORM THE WHOLE

WORLD. IF YOU LIKE YOU CAN RUN TO THE MOON, THE DEPTHS OF THE SEAS, YOU WILL FIND HIM IN ALL THESE PLACES. IF YOU LIKE YOU CAN PROJECT TO THE MOON. WHEN YOU REACH THERE, YOU WILL FIND HIM THERE. THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS CONSUMED THE PRIDE OF THE WORLD. HE HAS SUBDUED THE MOST STUBBORN OF MEN. JUST AS THE HOLY SPIRIT ENTERED INTO OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST AND REBUILT HIM TO BE LIKE A STONE, SO ALSO HAS HE REMOLDED EACH OF US LIKE A STONE. OUR VILE BODIES ARE NOW BEING RAISED UP TO RESEMBLE THE GLORIOUS BODY OF CHRIST.

WHEN THE GOVERNMENTS CONDUCT ELECTIONS:

THE FATHER HAS FINISHED HIS WORK

ALL THAT YOU DO IS COUNTED FOR NOUGHT. THE PARAMOUNT THING IS TO PRACTICE THE DIVINE COMMANDMENT OF LOVING ONE ANOTHER AND HOLDING ON TO IT. BELOVED, THE FATHER HAS ACCOMPLISHED EVERYTHING. HE HAS KEPT EVERYTHING IN ITS SHIP-SHAPE ORDER. HIS SECOND COMING IS FOR THE UNITY OF THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE. HE HAS COME TO CLEANSE MAN AND MAKE MAN WORTHY OF HIM. THAT IS WHY SINNERS ARE NOT ADMITTED HERE, FOR THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PREVAILING PROBLEMS IN THE WORLD. WE DO NOT NEED A LARGE NUMBER OF PERSONS WHO STILL INDULGE IN SIN, BUT A FEW WHO HAVE FORSAKEN EVIL. LOVE IS PARAMOUNT. THAT IS WHY THE SCRIPTURES STATE THAT TWO OR THREE PERSONS, IF THEY POSSESS LOVE, ARE MORE THAN A THOUSAND PERSONS. THE TRIUNE GOD IS NOW ON EARTH: Beloved, now that you have seen THE FATHER, what else do you need? Many desire to learn more, but I wonder what they are learning. OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS HERE ON EARTH; GOD IS HERE ON EARTH, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT IS ALSO ON EARTH, WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT? PATHETICALLY THE ENTIRE WORLD IS GAZING AT THE SKY EXPECTING OUR

LORD JESUS CHRIST TO CRASHLAND. I AM HOWEVER EXCITED BECAUSE THE ENTIRE BROTHERHOOD IS AWARE OF THIS FACT. THEY CANNOT BE DECEIVED TO LOOK INTO THE SKY, EXPECTING OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST TO COME DOWN AGAIN. MOST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD DO KNOW THAT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST HAS MANIFESTED BUT THEY FIND IT DIFFICULT TO ACCEPT THE TRUTH. BUT SINCE WE ARE AWARE WE ARE ALWAYS ABIDING IN JOY. Many people are now in search of what to do to earn a living. The lawyer is in search of clients, doctors are in search of patients, but all their efforts are in vain. Many of them have decided to get baptized, for this is the only way out of their problem. Even the governments of the world are yielding to this force. WHEN THE GOVERNMENTS CONDUCT ELECTIONS A BROTHER BY NAME ITA, HAD TESTIFIED ABOUT THE PROBLEMS THAT PREVAIL IN THE GOVERNMENTS. THE TRUTH IS THAT THEY WILL NOT BE IN PEACE EXCEPT THEY SUBMIT TO GOD. CHANGE OF PEOPLE IN POWER IS

NEVER THE SOLUTION TO THE EXISTING PROBLEM. THE ULTIMATE WAY WHICH IS THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH IS FOR THEM TO RECOGNIZE GOD, ELSE THE GOVERNMENT CANNOT BE STABLE. NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO, ASIDE FROM KNOWING GOD, THEY WILL STILL REMAIN IN SHAMBLES. THEREFORE WHEN
THE GOVERNMENTS CONDUCT ELECTIONS, NEVER BE BOTHERED, FOR SUCH ARE FRUITLESS VENTURES. THE

CONDITION FOR STABILITY IS HERE SPELT OUT, AND THAT IS, FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO KNOW AND REVERE GOD. Many people, when campaigning, do make promises of turning the economy around if they are voted into power. But the question is can they change their lifestyles? HOW WILL THEY BE ABLE TO BUILD THE ECONOMY IF THEY NEITHER KNOW NOR REVERE GOD? IT IS ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE. A great many people are claiming to be chairmen of Local Government Councils, but what good thing have they done? They rather amass wealth for themselves and leave the masses in utter poverty. ALL THEIR FILTHY PROMISES ARE JUST TO MOTIVATE THE PEOPLE TO VOTE THEM TO ATTAIN GREAT HEIGHTS; AND ONCE THEY ARE THERE, THEY ABANDON ALL THEY HAD PROMISED AND CONCENTRATE ON THEIR PERSONAL WELFARE. THESE PEOPLE DO NOT IN REALITY SEEK THE POSTS BUT THEIR REAL MOTIVE IS TO SEEK FOR THE MONEY DERIVED FROM THESE POSITION.

THE NEED TO REVERE GOD: The worldly people aspire to acquire great wealth. In spite of this, their aspirations avail them nothing. A TRUE BROTHERHOOD IS BETTER PLACED THAN AN AMBITIOUS WORLDLY MAN. TO ATTAIN THIS ENVIABLE STATE YOU MUST BE ABLE TO PRACTICE THE WORD OF GOD IN A STEADFAST WAY, AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS YOU LOVE YOURSELF. The nakedness of the entire world has been exposed. People are now retracing their steps. In times past, it was never an easy task for a king to visit a foreign place or land. But now, however, the kings and paramount rulers are all running down here to be healed by the Holy Fathers touch. The paramount rulers themselves have become the propagators of the Word of God. THE PROBLEM OF THE ENTIRE WORLD IS THAT, PEOPLE DO NOT WANT TO REVERE GOD, RATHER THEY GIVE REVERENCE TO THE EARTHLY RULERS. It is very obvious that whenever anybody goes to see any royal highness, he must bow and prostrate to show respect. Even the President, governor and other government officials must show respect to the Royal Highness. These Royal Highnesses are given several honorary names to show signs of dignity. However upon all these esteemed names, they are still coming here to seek salvation. THE IRONY OF THE CASE IS THAT THOSE WHO ARE SO GLORIFIED ARE SERIOUSLY IN NEED OF SALVATION, WHEREAS THE ONE WHO PROVIDES THIS SALVATION IS NOT REVERED. The necromancers who were

hitherto highly regarded are today proved completely incapable. They themselves know they are powerless. They indulge in this act to extort money from others and earn a living. Now they all have yielded to the divine force, hence when you go to consult any necromancer, you will find the picture of the Father in their shrines. This is what they use alongside the Holy Oil to effect the healing of their patients. The secret societies have all surrendered. They have been rendered powerless and so they cannot harm anybody but you are still undecided about the one you worship. Realize HENCEFORTH THAT GOD ALMIGHTY IS A GOD IN TIME OF NEED, WHENEVER YOU CALL HIM, HE READILY ANSWERS. HE IS AN OMNIPRESENT GOD. WHENEVER YOU NEED HIM JUST GO ON YOUR KNEES AND CALL ON HIS NAME AND HE WILL ANSWER YOU. BRETHREN, YOU ARE EXPECTED TO ADHERE STRICTLY TO THE FATHERS INJUNCTIONS AND TEACHINGS WHEREVER YOU MAY GO. SEEK AFTER HIM AND HE IS EVER READY TO ANSWER YOU. LET THE INJUNCTIONS YOU ARE GIVEN BE BINDING ON YOU. LET THESE INJUNCTIONS GUIDE YOU, AND YOU WILL HAVE NO CAUSE OF STUMBLING ON YOUR WAY. Refer to Luke 1:7-end. The scriptural portion above refers to John the Baptist, how he preached about repentance and the coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Refer to Matthew 5:17-20 : Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. 18: For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 9: Whosoever therefore shall break one

of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20: For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

HIGHLIGHTS

1.THE REIGN OF THE HOLY SPIRIT:

THIS IS THE ERA OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND HIS REIGN. HE HAS COMPLETELY BROUGHT DOWN THE ACTIVITIES OF MAN. ALL SHOULD STOP ROAMING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, SUFFERING AS IF THE CREATOR IS NOT HERE WITH US. WE ARE NOT FATHERLESS. WE HAVE A FATHER OF FATHERS, AN EVER CARING AND EVER LOVING FATHER, IF ONLY WE OBEY HIM, ALL OUR PROBLEMS WILL BE SOLVED. IT IS SHAMEFUL AND UNTHINKABLE THAT MAN SHOULD RESORT TO WORSHIPPING LOGS OF WOOD, STONES, AND OTHER THINGS CREATED BY GOD. HAS JUJU EVER CREATED ANYTHING? 2. WE HAVE NO OTHER FATHER EXCEPT HIM. NO OTHER THING CAN SAVE MAN, NOT EVEN THE ANGELS, APART FROM GOD HIMSELF. If we forsake the things of this world right now, become penitent of our sins and follow Him, then the Father will accept us into his flock and grant us salvation. 3. THE ONLY WORTHY LEADER: Politicians write beautiful manifestos and promise heaven and if voted into power. But things become worse than ever before after being voted because as soon as they assume duties, they set about pursuing selfish programmes. NONE CAN BETTER THE LOT OF HIS FELLOW MAN EXCEPT GOD. If you ask me to choose or vote for any good person to lead the world, I will have no choice, for there is no good person to be voted for. GOD IS THE ONLY BEING, THE OWNER OF ALL GOVERNMENTS, IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH. I WOULD RATHER VOTE FOR THE FATHER. 4. The Jews regarded Christ as an evil man and troublemaker. BUT GOD SAID HE WAS HIS BELOVED SON IN WHOM HE WAS WELL PLEASED AND THAT THE WORLD SHOULD LISTEN TO HIM (CHRIST). Of the two, the world and God, who is a liar? On another occasion when they were well fed with bread and fish by the Lord, the Jews were so pleased that they wanted to crown Him their king. Knowing their plans, He departed from the area because such exercise did not bring glory to God. He went away to advance the glory of His Father.

THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL:

HE WHO IS TO RULE
FIRST LESSON: REVELATIONS 2:4-5 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because, thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from where thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works, or else I will come quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. SECOND LESSON: MATTHEW 22:37 Jesus said unto him, thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. GOLDEN TEXT: LUKE 14:33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that foresaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. THE CAUSE OF HUMAN SUFFERING: Beloved, the above text forms the summary of our Lesson. The people of the world ask you daily about what the Father says. THIS IS THE ANSWER TO IT THAT THE FATHER SAYS MANKIND SHOULD REMEMBER THE POINT FROM WHICH HE HAS FALLEN, REPENT AND CONTINUE IN HIS ORIGINAL GOOD WORKS ASSIGNED HIM BY HIS CREATOR, OTHERWISE, THE FATHER WILL COME SOON AND REMOVE THE CANDLESTICK OUT OF ITS PLACE. A local adage has it that when the cause to a particular event is forgotten, there is bound to be problems. When God created Adam and Eve, were there anything like juju, fornication, eating of meat and fish, snuffing, smoking, or the love for material things? Was there anything

like money? Were there the various means of transportation as we have now ? What obtained at that time was the unconditional love for God. There was no craving for materialism and the desire for evil. That is the original love: "Loving the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul, and with all thy mind." He is the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. He is also the only one who cares for you. This explains why we have to love and obey Him alone. God has something against us because our love for Him has waned and has rather developed towards the things created by God. Therefore, except man retraces his steps back to God, and the original love for God, his problems will be endless and insurmountable by him. My salvation and the salvation of the whole world is dependent on our adherence to this piece of advice. He has made it clear that He is a jealous God. Therefore, this is best time for man to repent and to return to his first love for God. The Lord has warned that you should not love the world and the things of the world for whoever loves the world has not the love of God in his heart. The love that prevails in the world now is the love for food, money, women, men, cars, buildings, and other material things. He had promised to visit the iniquities of the parents on the children and their children's children of the third and fourth generations of those who hate and disobey Him. It is therefore our duty to love Him alone. He has also enjoined us not to have another God apart from Him and not to make any graven image for ourselves. That we should not worship anything created by man, nor should we dine with idle worshippers. Why do you submit yourself to the things of this world? Does it mean that you were created by food, drink, roots, attire or any of the material thing? Were you not created by God? We should have love for him alone. The problems plaguing the whole world, both whites and blacks are traceable to man's disobedience and his lack of love for God. Whoever fails to forsake materialism is heading towards destruction. Food itself

is like medicine. It is meant to be used and not to be worshipped. So also are such things as clothing, houses, water, and other material things. Man is not expected to adore or love these things more than God who created them. Except man divorces his love for material things and sticks to his creator, man cannot have peace. Do not worship stones, tree, trunk, root, or any other thing apart from God. God loves man more than all else; but man has done nothing to reciprocate the gesture. Man has divided his love into various places, love for cigarette, women, shoes, men, drink, politics, clothing, cars, and other things. Thus leaving God with none. You should ask yourself the reason why God who created the world should turn round to warn man not to love the world nor the things of the world. He is life, the beginning and the end. WE HAVE NO OTHER FATHER EXCEPT HIM. NO OTHER THING CAN SAVE MAN, NOT EVEN THE ANGELS, APART FROM GOD HIMSELF. If we forsake the things of this world right now, become penitent of our sins and follow Him, then the Father will accept us into his flock and grant us salvation. BEWARE OF MATERIALISM: Our Lord Jesus Christ made His position on materialism known when a certain young man asked Him to persuade his brother to divide their father's inheritance among them. He asked the young man who made Him a divider and a judge between them. He went ahead to advise the young man and others too to beware of covetousness for whatever a man possesses, his life is not in his hands. How would you feel, for instance, if your child, wife, or brother, forsakes you to prefer and appreciate the things you provide for him/her? Man has today become an object of mean repute and destruction. Man is ready to destroy his fellow man for the sake of food, money, clothing, cars, land, shoes, and other transitory things. God's injunction to man is for him to love his fellow man and that he should not kill. But man has rather thrown such injunctions to the wind.

HUMAN FOLLY: Man is such a shameless being. He hangs a piece of wood or metal around his neck and finger for protection. If pieces of wood and metal should be used for protection what then is the work of God, the creator of all things? Have you forgotten what happened to the children of Israel when they preferred and worshipped the image of a golden calf made out for them by Aaron? God got offended and destroyed them in their millions. That is why you are enjoined now not to tempt your God as did the Israelites and were destroyed by the destroyer. If you call yourself a Christian, a Muslim, a Buddhist, or a Hindu, why do you keep a big pot, bottle, or bury something in your inner room for protection? Why do you go about with rings, amulet or talisman for yourself protection? Do such things have life? Are stones, stick, leaves, and other idols capable of giving life? They are rather instruments of destruction. It is the worship of all such things by man that incurs the wrath of God upon mankind. Food, clothing, idols, wine, shoes, and ointment cannot save man if God deserts him. The world is today in turmoil and if judgement should commence now, none would be saved. It is because of His love and mercy that He has undertaken to remind us once again of His injunction to love Him and keep His commandments. If you fail to love God your creator, for what purpose then did He create you? Except all the inhabitants of the world retrace their steps to their creator, they will continue to face distress and gnashing of teeth. He has promised to remove the candle stand from its place if man remains unrepentant. He has timely advised you to store your treasure in heaven where thieves will not break into and moth cannot corrupt. The treasures laid on earth are unprofitable. Let all your love be centered on God and all will be well with you. THE ONLY HOPE FOR MAN : Recall that when Moses moulded a serpent and hung it on a tree for the people to look upon whenever they were bitten by the deadly snakes, it was only those who obeyed that were saved and those who did not were destroyed. Therefore, in this present age, of the multitude of

people who will listen to this gospel and comply with it are saved and the light of God shall shine upon them. Wherever your treasure is, there lies your mind. It is for this reason that your daily subject of discussion and interest rest on money, juju, charms, women, politics, cars, clothing, food, and other material things. How then will God be pleased? Read the first lesson again. FIRST LESSON: REVELATION 2:4-5 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. YOUR LIFE IS NOT IN YOUR HANDS: Our Lord Jesus Christ told a parable to that young man who requested Him to divide his father's inheritance with his brothers. He told the young man that, there was once a rich man who stored plenty of food in his barn and sought his soul to rest, eat, and be merry. At that same night his soul was demanded of him by God. Christ asked him who shall enjoy the food and wealth the rich man had stored. Such is the fate that awaits all those who prefer the things of this world to the love of God. Man has fallen short of the grace of God because of his disobedience, his love for and pride in materialism. People have forwarded themselves into governments, church denominations, and other societies for the sake of acquiring material wealth. Instead of discussing how to obey God and to keep His injunctions, the people of the world meet regularly only to talk about how to cheat and humiliate others, how to loot the treasury, distort information and mislead the public. This explains the severity of the current hardship all over the world. Human beings are carnally minded and are disobedient. What is going on the world is mere 'POLICE ACTION.' The worst is yet to come except

there is a change of heart by mankind. He is a jealous God and so, He should not be provoked. It is written that: Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it, except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. (Psalm 127:1). This is why the people who are kept at the helm of affairs have failed the people . None is capable of ruling or leading the world, not even the angels are capable. Upon all the political and administrative changes taking place all over the world, yet none has been successful. God alone has the key to peace, and success and prosperity. THE ONLY WORTHY LEADER: Politicians write beautiful manifestos and promise heaven and if voted into power. But things become worse than ever before after being voted because as soon as they assume duties, they set about pursuing selfish programmes. None can better the lot of his fellow man except God. If you ask me to choose or vote for any good person to lead the world, I will have no choice, for there is no good person to be voted for. GOD IS THE ONLY BEING, THE OWNER OF ALL GOVERNMENTS, IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH. I WOULD RATHER VOTE FOR THE FATHER. When the whites came to Africa they saw our people and everything they did as crude and uncivilized. Therefore they had to replace all the indigenous governments and institutions with theirs. Before long, Africans began to protest against the colonialist and their system. They agitated for independence. The struggle to free themselves from the yoke of colonialism and bondage intensified and many African countries were later granted political independence. The question now is, has that independence brought peace and progress to the Africans? Has the struggle for liberation and domination ceased? There are coups and counter coups, secessions and tribal wars in Africa in particular and in the world in general. Those either appointed or voted into the various political offices have never lived up to expectation. This is because they neither know God nor His laws. They

do not love Him. When a blind man leads another blind man, both will fall into a ditch. WE HAVE A FATHER AND A RULER WHO IS JUST AND CARING, YET MAN HAS REJECTED HIM . HE IS THE ONE WHO HAS ENJOINED YOU NOT CALL ANYBODY FATHER OR LORD FOR HE IS THE ONLY FATHER AND LORD. WE ARE BRETHREN AND DERIVE OUR ORIGIN FROM HIM. Christ said, "I am the vine, and my Father is the husband man. Every branch in me that beareth not the fruit he taketh away; and every branch that bearth fruit he purgeth it that it may bring forth more fruit." (John 15:1-2). One of our spiritual choruses rendered in Igbo has it that a tree that blossoms and yields good fruit is being watered by someone. THEREFORE ANYBODY WHO REFUSES TO RECOGNIZE HIS CREATOR IS CONDEMNED. Right from the time of Adam and Eve man has never accepted God. Man has always given high regards and recognition to material things. That is a great insult to God. Whoever advises you now to put your faith and trust in man is ill advising you and such a person should pray fervently for himself. The scripture has said that :NONE SHOULD HAVE FAITH IN A MAN WHO BREATHS THROUGH HIS NOSTRILS. Is it not a good time for mankind to love God, to obey and adore Him so that peace may abound? There is nothing anybody can do for his fellow man. When Pilate asked Christ a series of questions before His crucifixion, He rebuffed when Pilate told Him that he power to either set Him free or condemn Him. He retorted that Pilate himself had no authority to do anything except such power was given to him from above. The Jews regarded Christ as an evil man and troublemaker. BUT GOD SAID HE WAS HIS BELOVED SON IN WHOM HE WAS WELL PLEASED AND THAT THE WORLD SHOULD LISTEN TO HIM (CHRIST). Of the two, the world and God, who is a liar? On another occasion when they were well fed with bread and fish by the Lord, the Jews were so pleased that

they wanted to crown Him their king. Knowing their plans, He departed from the area because such exercise did not bring glory to God. He went away to advance the glory of His Father. Let reference be made to the second lesson. SECOND LESSON: MATTHEW 22:37 Jesus said unto him thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all they soul, and with all thy mind.

WHO GOVERNS THE WORLD ?

The above passage explains the kind of person who will rule the world. ANY PERSON WHO DESIRES TO BE AMONG THE RULERS SHOULD LOVE GOD WITH ALL HIS HEART, SOUL, AND MIND. SUCH IS THE KIND OF PERSON IN WHOM GOD WILL ABIDE AND HE TOO WILL ALSO ABIDE IN GOD. IT IS BECAUSE OF MAN'S DEPARTURE FROM HIS FIRST AND ORIGINAL LOVE FOR GOD THAT HE HAS SOMETHING AGAINST MAN. GOD HIMSELF IS LOVE AND IF WE POSSESS THE VIRTUE OF LOVE FOR HIM, THEN WE WILL RULE AND REIGN WITH HIM. IN GOD'S RULE AND KINGDOM THERE IS NEITHER BLACK NOR WHITE, YOUNG NOR OLD, MAN NOR WOMAN. THAT IS WHY THE KINGDOMS OF THIS WORLD HAVE BECOME THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS CHRIST WHERE HE WILL REIGN FOR EVER AND EVER. Let mankind do whatever he pleases to solve his problems, but instead of solving them, the problems would be compounded. Let a man kill, steal, loot, indulge in idolatry, and initiate into various secret cults, his problems will remain with him except he repents and follow God. The creator and owner of heaven and earth is here on earth quietly watching how rogues struggle for what rightly belongs to God. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT GOD WOULD RETIRE INTO HEAVEN ABOVE, LEAVING THE VAST EXPANSE OF EARTH DESOLATE? Yet should anything happen to man now, he would first call on God to help him and not his money, houses, fleet if cars. IF ALL, IRRESPECTIVE OF TRIBE AND TONGUES, STATUS AND FAITH, SHOULD GO TO GOD ON BENDED KNEES, THE WORLD WILL BE IN PEACE AND PROSPERITY. MAN, JUJU, FOOD, MONEY AND THE OTHER MUNDANE THINGS ARE

COMPLETELY USELESS. GOD PROMISED TO RULE AND REIGN FOREVER. (SEE ISAIAH 2).

THE REIGN OF THE HOLY SPIRIT:

THIS IS THE ERA OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND HIS REIGN. HE HAS COMPLETELY BROUGHT DOWN THE ACTIVITIES OF MAN. ALL SHOULD STOP ROAMING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, SUFFERING AS IF THE CREATOR IS NOT HERE WITH US. WE ARE NOT FATHERLESS. WE HAVE A FATHER OF FATHERS, AN EVER CARING AND EVER LOVING FATHER, IF ONLY WE OBEY HIM, ALL OUR PROBLEMS WILL BE SOLVED. IT IS SHAMEFUL AND UNTHINKABLE THAT MAN SHOULD RESORT TO WORSHIPPING LOGS OF WOOD, STONES, AND OTHER THINGS CREATED BY GOD. HAS JUJU EVER CREATED ANYTHING? Instead of man to recognize and appreciate the wisdom and power of God he attributes the things that happen daily to evil forces. It is only God who is capable of doing what human beings cannot do. Our Lord Jesus Christ made the dumb to talk, and the deaf to hear, then instead of the people to praise God, they rather attributed the power to Beelzebub. It was for this same reason that God was provoked when the Israelites made themselves a graven image and worshipped it. God on His part did not waste time to destroy them in their thousands. This is the era of the Holy Spirit. People should refrain from fornication, idolatry, and all forms of vices so that His bountiful grace may be granted to us. THE PRODIGAL WORLD: The inhabitants of the world are prodigal children. The prodigal son only returned to his Father after he has squandered his wealth and has lost every hope. DESPITE HIS INIQUITIES, HIS FATHER DID NOT HESITATE TO WELCOME HIM BACK INTO THE FAMILY WITH POMP AND PAGEANTRY. THAT IS THE KIND OF RECEPTION THAT AWAITS ANY MAN WHO IS PENITENT OF HIS SINS AND RETURNS TO GOD. RETURN THEREFORE ALL YE MEN OF THE WORLD, FOR YOUR FATHER SEEKETH FOR YOU. EXCEPT YOU ALL COMPLY WITH THIS

INSTRUCTION, PEACE AND PROSPERITY SHALL CONTINUE TO ELUDE THE WORLD. GOD HAD DECLARED THAT IF ANY SHOULD LOVE HIM IN HIS HEART, HE WOULD SURELY MAKE HIS DWELLING PLACE IN THAT PERSON. THIS SHOWS THAT GOD HAS NO OTHER DWELLING PLACE THAN THE HEART OF MAN, AND EXCEPT MAN LOVES GOD, THERE IS NO OTHER SOURCE OF SALVATION FOR HIM. WHEN YOU ABIDE IN HIM AND HE IN YOU, THEN WILL YOU BE ONE WITH HIM. AND HE WILL THEN TAKE DOMINION OVER YOUR WHOLE BODY. HE RULES IN PEACE, LOVE, TRUTH, AND MERCY. HIS RULERSHIP IS DIFFERENT FROM HUMAN'S. THE WORD OF GOD HAS NEITHER BEGINNING NOR END. Let reference be made to the golden text. GOLDEN TEXT: LUKE 14:33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. YOU MUST FORSAKE VICE TO LIVE: BELOVED, THE ABOVE INJUNCTION IS LOUD AND CLEAR. MAN HAS TO FORSAKE LIES, DECEIT, HATRED, IDOLATRY, STEALING, DIVISION, ARROGANCE, AND DISBELIEF IN YOUR CREATOR. YOU SHOULD SURRENDER EVERYTHING TO GOD. EXCEPT YOU DO THIS YOU CANNOT BE HIS DISCIPLE AND CANNOT INHERIT HIS KINGDOM. REPERCUSSIONS AWAIT THE WORLD: You may have read about a certain man who had a vineyard which was fenced around and left into the care of security guards. When it was time for harvest, the owner of the field sent labourers into the farm to the harvesting but the security guards would not allow them. They captured and killed all the messengers sent by the owner. The man again sent another set of messengers, much greater in number than the first group. All were captured and slain. The man finally decided to send forth his first born son to the field. The people quickly descended on him, believing that he would eventually own the farm if allowed to

escape. So they killed the heir-apparent to the farm. They did all these with the hope of gaining ownership of the farm. The question now is, upon all that they did, were they able to seize the farm from the owner? In the final analysis, Christ asked them what would happen to such wicked servants when the rightful owner of the field finally arrives? The listeners replied that he would destroy all such servants and give the field over to other servants who are faithful to Him. TIME FOR RECOMPENSE: Whatever it pleased a man to do, let him do. Let him invent more sophisticated weapons and erect iron walls around himself. The owner of the field has come to pay each person according to his work. Those of you who claim ownership of the land, trees, human beings, and other things in the world, should hold firmly to them and wait for God's reaction. God is the Creator and owner of everything in heaven and on earth. IN THE WHOLE WORLD IT IS ONLY CHRIST WHO SAYS ALL THAT BELONGS TO HIS FATHER ALSO BELONGS TO HIM. THIS IS BECAUSE HE IS ONE WITH THE FATHER. ANY PERSON WHO CAN PROUDLY SAY "I AND MY FATHER ARE ONE," CAN EQUALLY CLAIM OWNERSHIP OF WHATEVER BELONGS TO GOD. LOVE ONE ANOTHER AND SURRENDER YOURSELF AND EVERYTHING AROUND YOU TO HIM AND ALL WILL BE WELL WITH YOU. GOD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THAT HAPPENS: People trace the problems and starvation in the world to certain persons. The question is what about the problems in your house, who is responsible? None is responsible for the famine and other problems in the world. Did He not promise to shake this earth ? Read Revelations 3:8-11. Only those who believe in Him shall live. This is the kingdom of God in which righteousness dwells. The things held to be of uppermost importance are righteousness and joy. Man had hitherto cast his hope on another man which has invariably spelt doom

upon himself. Change your mind now and love God with all heat soul and mind and He will surely manifest His goodness on you. It is written: The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. The world and they that dwell therein. For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods. Who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart: Who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. ANYONE WHO IS DESIROUS OF REIGNING WITH HIM SHOULD GIVE HIM TOTAL LOVE, OTHERWISE HE WILL LABOR IN VAIN. EXCEPT YOU FORSAKE ALL THAT YOU HAVE, YOU CANNOT BE HIS DISCIPLE. WHATEVER YOU HAD CLAIMED TO BE, AND WHATEVER POWER YOU CLAIM TO HAVE, FORSAKE EVERYTHING AND SURRENDER YOURSELF TO HIM. AN ILLUSTRATION: This is a familiar story I have been telling you. Once there lived a certain man who bought a slave who was very hard working and so became very prosperous. The slave in turn bought many other slaves and became even richer than his master. It became the talk of the town that a slave became richer than his master. As a result, the slave became arrogant and swollen-headed. After much noise about the wealth of the slave over his master, it came to pass that a day was declared for stock taking. So everybody in the community assembled to find out exactly who was richer, the slave or his master. When the people gathered, the slave was given the opportunity first to take stock of his property. As he counted all that belonged to him, the people marvelled and clapped in anticipation of a complete victory over his master. After he had concluded counting his property, the master stood up to take his own stock. He enumerated the few things he had and then added the slave himself together with all his property. The whole arena was quiet and the people nodded in agreement. Everybody was stunned.

This is exactly what is happening to mankind and God, the owner of us all. Empty did man come into this world and empty will he departs. Everything you see in this world will remain behind to original owner, God. Man has struggled, engaging himself in various jobs, some of them odd, just to get rich. In the end he departs, taking none of the things he had accumulated to himself. Normally, God would laugh you to scorn when you claim ownership of the woman, the man, the children, the money, and all the other things in your possession. Many preachers and labourers in the vineyard of God have abandoned their work in search of private businesses for quick gains. That is the height of foolishness. You should now realize that the very business which you abandon the work of God to enable you pursue, belongs to God, your body and your soul belong to God, everything in the world belong to God. So beloved, I shall not take you any further. It is said that a stroke of the cane is sufficient for the wise. He that has ears should hear what the Holy Spirit has imparted to the world. May the Lord Bless His Holy Word. THANK YOU HOLY FATHER.
