PREFACE TO ANTHOLOGY THREE

Brethren, in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star (Christ’s Universal Spiritual School of Practical Christianity), there is a Spiritual Song which states that: The Gospel of Olumba is a consuming fire, so beware, beware, it’s a consuming fire

This Anthology Three consists of a three-volume set of gospels that were not in the Anthology Two. But really, Father’s Gospels are like a never-ceasing, ever-flowing river that goes on and on and on. Indeed one is reminded of that spiritual song which says:

Olumba’s love is so wonderful x 3

Oh, wonderful love

It’s so high, you cannot reach it

It’s so low, can’t get under it

Its so wide, you cannot cross it

Oh, wonderful love

1. The teachings imparted to you by the Holy Spirit are neither learned nor sourced from books; rather, it is because of the love of God for humanity, He sent to us the Holy Spirit of truth, to reveal the things that were hitherto hidden from man. To avoid the people of the world saying Brotherhood of the Cross and Star does not use the Holy Bible, I chose to start teaching you from the Holy Bible. There are many teachings I have brought to mankind. Most of them are yet to be touched. That is the reason why it is disadvantageous for one to be absent from here for even one day. The members of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star are now flying like birds in the air. Every member of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star has been exposed to all the secrets of the world. These are yet the elementary teachings of the Holy Spirit which are only getting you set for the main teaching ahead. And when the advanced teachings are brought to you, you will always yearn for more.

2. Brethren, a look at you invokes great pity. Though I preach always, but the Brotherhood Pulpit carries gospels preached once in a week on Sundays. That is to say 52 Sundays in a year. What happens to the other preachings? These are lost to all the inhabitants of the world, except to a negligible few who are here.

By Leader Olumba Olumba Obu

Yes, the anthologies alone cannot present, exhibit and display all of Father’s Teachings. John categorized the works of Our Lord Jesus Christ and concluded in the Gospel according to St. John (John 21:25), "And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen."

Similarly, we, who have compiled this Anthology Three, also wish to state that considering the colossal and stupendous nature of the Supernatural Teachings of Leader Olumba Olumba Obu, viz: Gospels, Bible Class Lectures, Early Morning Altar Briefings, Advice and Briefings in the vestry, and Advice during Fellowship meetings, etc, etc, etc., these anthologies alone cannot document and demonstrate them all.

INDEED, THERE ARE ALSO MANY OTHER TEACHINGS OF LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU, WHICH, IF THEY SHOULD BE WRITTEN EVERY ONE, WE SUPPOSE THAT EVEN THE WORLD ITSELF COULD NOT CONTAIN THE BOOKS THAT SHOULD BE WRITTEN. No wonder, Father, Leader Olumba Olumba Obu said, once, in the vestry, that MY NAME IS THE WORD OF GOD.

We wish to thank the Father for the contributions of Brother NiiCarl and Brother NiiEmil Alexander-Reindorf, the entire staff and management at THE WORD CENTER in the preparation of this manuscript for publication.

PREFACE TO ANTHOLOGY TWO

Brethren, this ANTHOLOGY TWO, the second edition of the ANTHOLOGY, is in response to an order by the Holy Father and Sole Spiritual Head of the whole Universe, Leader Olumba Olumba Obu. During the Easter Pentecostal of 1990 when the Holy Father graciously gave us audience in the vestry, He asked Apostle (Capt.) Paul Ugochukwu to read through The New Dimension—Behold Him Who Is Now Revealed, by Deaconess Floria Alexander-Reindorf. Next, He asked Paul to read my booklet, The Anthology of Autobiographical Statements by Leader Olumba Olumba Obu, The King of Kings and Lord of Lords—(Anthology One), from cover to cover. Our Holy Father liked them both, so He asked that the two books be combined. Holy Father also made a comment that the Anthology one was written with the professor’s intellect, but the other booklet Behold Him Who Is Now Revealed came from the heart. Consequently, in obedience to The Holy Father, we are very happy to present this Second Edition of the Anthology (expanded with the actual gospels) as the combination that The Holy Father requested. We have titled it Anthology Two. This Anthology Two starts with a Prelude,THE NEW DIMENSION: Behold Him Who Is Now Revealed, by Deaconess Floria Alexander-Reindorf, the Co-Author.

There are nearly two hundred (200) gospels in this Anthology Two. Furthermore, since Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is a School, i.e. Christ’s Universal Spiritual School of Practical Christianity, the Bible references in Holy Father’s Everlasting Gospels have been researched and printed. This will make Anthology Two particularly useful to all preachers. The Anthology Two is divided into 3 parts: Part I contains Autobiographical Statements,some Bible Class Lectures, as well as other Teachings, and Everlasting Gospels by Leader Olumba Olumba Obu on important topics like: The Holy Spirit, His Mission, The Word, The Trinity, Vegetarianism, Fasting, Prayer, Baptism, Love, and Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, Humility and Forgiveness, And Mercy. Part II consists of special Bible Class Lectures delivered by Leader Olumba Olumba Obu, The Supernatural Teacher, The Sole Spiritual Head Of The Universe, on: (a) Recondite Wisdom Of The Holy Spirit,

(b) The Wages of Sin Is Death,

(c) Man Is A Spirit And Cannot Die.

Part III is the Holy Father’s Special Gospel on Holy Thursday: THE LORD JESUS CHRIST WAS CRUCIFIED ON THURSDAY, NOT FRIDAY.

The Appendix contains Father’s Gospels and Teachings on the "First, Second and Third Steps To God." The Chapters on AMBO, Brotherhood Practices, Father’s Advice on Funerals, and Father Consoles the Bereaved, and The Brotherhood Memorandum, will help all members, new and old, of the Kingdom of God on Earth, i.e. Brotherhood of the Cross and Star The Appendix ends with two testimonies. The first Testimony describes the miraculous healing by Leader Olumba Olumba Obu, The Holy Father, and revelation that Leader Olumba Olumba Obu is God in Man made Manifest. The second Testimony describes His appearance to my cousin, the printer of Anthology One—in his home in Brooklyn, New York, at the very same time that I was giving testimony about the booklet—Anthology One to Him in Calabar, Nigeria. New York time is 5 hours behind Calabar time, i.e. 12 noon in New York is 5 p.m. in Calabar. This demonstrates that Leader Olumba Olumba Obu is indeed Omnipresent (i.e. appearing to my cousin in Brooklyn at the very same time that I, (C.A.R), was giving Him testimony in the Pentecostal Hall in Calabar.

Brethren, in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, the observance of Holy Thursday is sacrosanct. It is so important for the whole world to realize and appreciate the great and unique sacrifice of Our Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of our sins, that the gospel in which The Holy Father, Leader O.O. Obu, dispels the current misconception in Christendom that Our Lord Jesus Christ died on Good Friday, constitutes the grand finale (i.e. Part III) of this Anthology Two which, we hope, will be an Introduction of All Mankind to the New Kingdom of God on Earth.

Therefore, in the Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ, in the Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ, even now and forever more, this Second Edition of the Anthology i.e. Anthology Two, is being presented not only to baptized Brethren but also to all the reading public of the world.

THANK YOU HOLY FATHER.

PREFACE TO ANTHOLOGY ONE

This Anthology has been compiled in obedience to The Holy Father, who, in 1989 after blessing us in the vestry, asked me: Have you written my book? We left the vestry, and I failed to ask Holy Father any questions about the book. But believing very deeply that He is the only one who knows the significance and import of the question: Have you written my book? I stopped agonizing after a while. However, now and again I would remember that question.

Indeed, on one such occasion early this year, it occurred to me that although we have Holy Father’s Gospels in books, pamphlets, magazines and newspapers, there is not a single source from which all that The Holy Father, Our Leader, says about Himself, and in His sermons and teachings, has been recorded. Accordingly, I undertook to compile this Anthology of Autobiographical Statements and Teachings by Leader Olumba Olumba Obu, hoping that it would be the appropriate response to the question: Have you written My book? My first inclination was to extract from the interviews that Holy Father has graciously given over the years. For this reason I reviewed and quoted from the following interviews: the World Press Conference of 1977, the Oral Tradition part of the University of Calabar Monogram on African Christianity (1983) by Nkereuwem, Umo Effiong, and Nigeria Television Authority Interview of the Holy Father, reported in the 3RD COVENANT, December, 1989. Next, I was led to some other sources (publications) where the Holy Father has made statements about Himself, His Mission, Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, and about the times that we are in. Since I deem it important that all readers of this Anthology realize from the outset that we have in our midst The Sole Spiritual Head of the whole Universe, I have chosen, as the title of this booklet, one of Holy Father’s own statements:

I Exist In All Planes at The Same Time..

This Anthology will be very useful to students and research workers because every statement by The Leader has reference indicating the published source of that statement. The reference consists of an alphabet which indicates the source (see References), and a figure indicating the page of that source.

With complete humility I submit this booklet to the Holy Father, Leader Olumba Olumba Obu, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, and to Brethren of the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star.

THANK YOU FATHER.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT

WE THANK THE FATHER FOR THE FULFILLMENT

OF THE PROMISE BY OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST

THAT A COMFORTER WILL COME, EVEN THE

SPIRIT OF TRUTH, WHO WILL LEAD AND GUIDE

US TO THE ACCURATE KNOWLEDGE OF

THE TRUTH. (John 14:26)

BIBLE WITNESSES

HEBREWS 6:1-3 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, 2: Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.3: And this will we do, if God permit.

HEBREWS 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

HEBREWS 10:35-39 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.36: For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.37: For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. 38: Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.39: But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.

MATTHEW 7:28-29 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:29: For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

EPHESIANS 3:1-6 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,

2: If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:

3: How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,

4: Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)

5: Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

6: That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:

INTRODUCTION

THE TREE OF LIFE IS THE WORD OF GOD

On the cross when He was to die, Christ said, It is finished. This fulfilled the first covenant which is stated in Hebrews 8:8-12.: For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:

9: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.

10: For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

11: And they shall not teach every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.

12: For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

If He had not forgiven your sins, who would have allowed you to eat the fruit of life and live? The immutable love which God has for you is recorded in Revelation 22. Immediately God knew that man had eaten the fruit of of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, God ordered man out of the Garden of Eden. God’s anger subsided, and He made another covenant with man. As a result of the change of heart of God, God gave man the fruit of everlasting life back to man. THE FRUIT OF LIFE IS THE WORD OF GOD. This is explained in John 15:1-6. I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 2: Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.3: Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. 4: Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5: I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. 6: If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

THE TREE OF LIFE IS THE WORD OF GOD WHICH YOU MUST EAT. MAN SHOULD ENDEAVOR TO GAIN ETERNAL LIFE THROUGH THE WORD OF GOD.

This kingdom does not admit thieves, liars, fornicators, and other evildoers. Man should practice the injunctions of God or else man is judged already. John 12:48-50. He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. 49: For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. 50: And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.

Do you know that my teachings will give you everlasting life? If you know this to be true, why do you not practice my teachings? THE FRUIT OF LIFE IS NO OTHER THING THAN THE GOSPEL WHICH I GIVE YOU. EVERYTHING YOU NEED IS EMBEDDED IN THESE TEACHINGS. MY TEACHINGS HAVE TWELVE DIFFERENT TYPES OF FRUIT WHICH STAND FOR THE TWELVE POWERS OF MAN.

BY:- LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU

THE SOLE SPIRITUAL HEAD

BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR.

WHO DO MEN SAY THAT I AM, AND WHO DO YOU SAY THAT I AM?

1. I WILL TELL YOU OF MY MISSION:

I have told you several times that my designation is the Supernatural Teacher. Right from my youth, I emphasized that people should call me a Teacher. I am not a preacher but a Teacher. Do not see me as visioner or dreamer but as a Supernatural Teacher. The teachings you receive from me have never been delivered by anybody ever since the creation of the world. Therefore, it is important that you tell the world what you have been taught here and nothing more or less.

You have erred when you tell people that you are not taught the things you know. If you say this, then how do you know the things that you know? You are the one confusing the world. Whenever you tell them that the Holy Father is God, they become confused; and as such, they dread me. If you had informed them that the Holy Father is a Teacher and that they should come and be taught, they would have come en mass to receive these divine teachings. If everybody were to come and receive these teachings, there would be no more problems in the world. Except one obtains the perfect knowledge of the truth I impart to the world, none will understand the spiritual things of this kingdom.

Recall, when our Lord Jesus Christ was approached by His disciples to teach them the things of the kingdom of heaven, He quickly told them that, if they could not believe the earthly things which He was teaching them, how would they believe the heavenly things. What are these heavenly things they demanded that He should teach them? They simply wanted to know about who is God. The question is, how would they have believed God who is a heavenly being when they even threatened to cast stones at Our Lord Jesus when He proclaimed Himself the Christ? No rational man would place his treasured ornament before the swine.

2. I AM NOT GOD BUT OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU:

Within this fold, one has every right to refer to the Father as God or anything you know Him to be. But when you go into the world to tell people that Olumba is God, you have succeeded in doing nothing but in setting the minds of the people ablaze. Do not scare people away from me. Tell them that the Father is a Supernatural Teacher for the world is desirous of knowing what the Father is. Assuming you were on an evangelical tour, and in the course, you circulate the information that Olumba is God, may be in a place where people do not know much about the Father, but later they come across the Father's publication entitled I AM NOT GOD, BUT OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU, how would they regard your claim? And how would they regard you? Your claim is enough to scatter the flock which you had gathered. If care is not taken, you may risk your life for spreading false rumor, as the people would claim. They would abuse and disregard you. You would from that time be seen as a deceiver. Nothing would stop them from labeling all Brotherhood members as foolish people.

You are contradicting me when you tell people that I am God. Tell them that I am the Supernatural Teacher. Members of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star have gone a long way to cause trouble for themselves. Some members claim that the Father is Christ and the Christ's Students regard this category of members as rebels. They see Him as God, the Father. Others regard the Father as a Leader. Thus all these diverse claims are confusing. If somebody should come in here to carry out a research work on who the Father is, he would not come out with any tangible result because of variations in his findings. Holding various beliefs as to who the Father is, affords you nothing. The most rewarding thing is for one to follow His teachings and practice same.

The teachings I give to you in this kingdom are the recondite truth and indeed, quite unique. These teachings could not be received from anywhere else. A few days ago, one member of the staff of the Everlasting Gospel Center, testified that the teachings obtainable in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star are so comprehensive, all encompassing and so intensive that they could not be compared with those of the world. He testified that the teachings of the world are divided into subjects such as English Language, Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Law, Medicine, Political Science, Computer Science, etc. and that these subjects or disciplines are taught by different individuals. He also said that a course of study like Biology may be handled by more than ten teachers, but that in this kingdom where advanced and more comprehensive teachings are obtained, only one and most efficient Teacher handles these lessons. He teaches better than all the teachers in the world. His teachings cut across all facets of life, and are all delivered in great details. Therefore, whoever comes to Brotherhood of the Cross and Star with the sole objective of receiving these teachings and practicing same will never have any problems.

BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU

3.   I AM THE SUPERNATURAL TEACHER:

Any person who hears the word of God but refuses to practice it is likened to one who builds a house on a sandy foundation. When the storm comes, it will be blown down. All those who hear the word of God and put it into practice are like those who build their house on a rock and when the storm comes, the house will not be shaken, because it is built on a solid foundation.

From the time of Adam to the time of Christ, the gospel that people received were borrowed. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT MANKIND IS RECEIVING TEACHING DIRECTLY FROM GOD HIMSELF. The teachings of Moses were adulterated, and that was why they included the burning of candles and the counting of rosary beads. Our Lord Jesus Christ, in His own advent, went to the temple, therefore, His teachings were slightly adulterated.

THE TEACHINGS IN BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR DO NOT COME FROM MAN, THE WESTERN WORLD, AFRICA OR THE ANGELS. EACH INDIVIDUAL TEACHING IS THE KIND OF TEACHING THAT HAS NEVER EXISTED BEFORE. If it were not so, why should Our Lord Jesus Christ say, I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit, when He, the Spirit of truth is come He will guide you into all truth for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall he speak, and He will show you things to come.

What did Our Lord Jesus Christ teach about drinking alcohol or mineral(soft drinks or soda)? What did He teach about enrolling in secret societies and cults of the world? What did He teach about medications? What did He teach about marriage, and maintaining a good home? Christ’s mission was to speak only in parables, and without parables, He would not speak. When the Jews asked Him why had Moses said that a person could divorce his wife, Our Lord Jesus Christ told them that in the beginning God created a man and a woman, and God decreed that a man shall leave his mother and father and join himself to a woman and they will become one flesh; and that what God has joined together let no man put asunder.

When He was asked of a woman who married seven husbands, and they questioned Him whose wife she would be on the day of resurrection, Our Lord Jesus Christ answered, The children of this world marry and are given in marriage: But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage: Neither can they die any more: for they are equal to the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.

Has there been a time in the history of Christendom that a leader emerged to inform the world that the tree in the center of the garden of Eden was no other thing than fornication or sexual intercourse? Man is the farm, planted by God and the city built by God.

God is the word that dwells in human beings and human beings are the house of God.

Therefore, we should not inject anything into our bodies, neither should we take drugs, fornicate, commit fornication and adultery or drink. If you do these things you have defiled your bodies. Our Lord Jesus Christ used Paul to reveal these facts to the world, but the world rejected these teachings. Since the children of perdition always oppose the word of God, they did not accept the teachings of Paul the Apostle. Have you ever heard that Our Lord Jesus Christ did forbid anyone from drinking or making wine? He made wine and also drank it. Now that I have come, have I ever said that you should drink wine? Once, you take a sip of alcohol or mineral(soft drinks), I do not say that you will perish, you have already perished. We should not go to native doctors or soothsayers because God has cursed them and if they inject any powder into your body, you have defiled the body of Christ and you stand condemned. When Our Lord Jesus Christ spoke about the things of the world, the people did not understand Him, how much more when He speaks about the things of the Spirit. Who in the world is aware of the fact that fornication defiles the temple of God and that a man was not created for a woman or vice versa, but that God created both of them for Himself. (1Corith 316-17/1Corinth 6:15-20).

Therefore, it was the plan of God that the Holy Spirit should overshadow women in the same way that He overshadowed Mary and made her to conceive a holy child: it was not the plan of God for a man to touch a woman. When human-beings began to defile themselves under the auspices of marriage, the Holy Spirit deserted them, and that is why suffering, sickness, and death came into the world.

I have never asked you to go to a mountain top, or the seashore to pray. God is within you. Our Lord Jesus Christ spoke in advance when He said that a time will come when those who worship God will worship Him in Spirit and in truth. When you make references to the bethels, I do not know what a bethel is, because you are the bethel, since you are always moving with God and God is within you. I have brought you the recondite wisdom of God, but the children of perdition will not accept the wisdom of God . Abraham was asked to travel for three days and nights and sacrifice a goat. What was the need for this when God does not eat goat meat? Since man is the house of God, everything created by God is within you. The word is dwelling within you. Jacob called the place where he was Bethel because it was a place of salvation. That place of salvation is within you. (Luke17:20-21/1st. Corith6:19-20/2nd Corith6:16-18).

Whatever is not inside you, does not exist, whether it is an angel, a spirit or God. Philip asked Our Lord Jesus Christ to show him the Father and he would be satisfied. Our Lord Jesus Christ said, Have I been with you all this time, yet you do not know me Philip? How sayest thou then show me the Father? When you see me, you have seen the Father. The words that I speak, I do not speak on my own, but it is the Father who speaks in me .(John14:9-11). The Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit and all the angels of God are in you. When anything happens to you, do not run away because God is always with you. I have led you to the wisdom of truth. When the children of God hear these words, they are completely free.

All those who speak evil against the Leader should pray fervently for themselves because a very great punishment awaits them. I have not come to judge any person. I am not the one who called you and I do not judge you. Whatever I am doing is exactly what I have come to do.

Our Lord Jesus Christ had said, "I have yet many things to say to you but you cannot bear them now, howbeit, when the Spirit of truth will come He will lead you to the accurate wisdom of truth; because He will not speak of His own, whatever He receives from me that will He release unto you. Through Him I will be glorified because whatever belongs to the Father is mine and that is why I say through Him I will be glorified." The question now is, am I the writer of those passages read to you? Whatever things I tell you are found in the passages of the Bible. From January to December of each year, I base my lessons from Bible quotations. Therefore I do not say anything from my own volition, all these are the words of God delivered from the Bible.

The Everlasting Gospel:

God has appointed time for everything and that is why this gospel is referred to as an Everlasting Gospel, the last of all the Gospels after which none will be delivered. If you hear them, you will be saved, but if you refuse to hear them you will perish. I have not come to found a church or healing home or prayer house or to establish a school. I have come to lead you to the accurate wisdom of truth as it is said the Comforter who is also the Holy Spirit which the Father will send in my name, He will teach you and bring to your remembrance whatsoever our Lord Jesus Christ had spoken, I have come to teach you, to change you and to bestow this Kingdom of God unto you. This Kingdom of God is neither a tree, nor fish nor stone but it is made of human beings. As many as receive these teachings will follow me. If you have love, if you refrain from falsehood, anger, fornication and from any form of vice, it means you have fulfilled your own part of the obligation expected of you.

DO NOT LOOK FOR POSITIONS BUT DO GOOD:

You are seeking after the position of a preacher, a student, an ordained, an elder, and interpreter but, none of you seeks after righteousness. You call yourselves Jehovah, Christ, Spirit, Prophet. I am none of these, and I do not answer any of those names I am not a pastor, I am not a prophet, I am not a priest. I am not God, I am not Christ, I am nothing. But one thing I do know which is very clear in my mind, is that whatever a man sows same shall he reap. Continue to do good whether you are a freeborn or slave. I knew all these things when I was not up to 3 years old, and that is why I have no problem. People claim that Brotherhood is Beelzebub, they drink blood, they do not worship the true God and therefore Brotherhood is not a church. All these allegations do not bother me. What I know is that for everything you do, whether good or evil, you will receive your due reward. There is nothing good that can be found in me and I do not know anything. But whatever you see is being done by the Father. I have nothing; I have neither wisdom, nor power nor anything at all. It is the Father who has power, Wisdom and everything. In any case today is not the day for that. This is only by way of digression. But one thing I know is that whatever thing you are doing, do it as if you are doing it unto God, whether you are freeborn or slave. I am telling you what is implied in the word of God. It is the Father who does everything; if He does not do anything then you cannot do anything. If the Father does not teach you, you cannot know; if He does not bestow you with wisdom you cannot be wise, if He does not think you cannot think and if He does not see and talk you cannot see and talk either. Therefore whatever thing you do, do it as using the power bestowed on you by God and that it is not through your own power.

INTERVIEW WITH WARRI NEWS

By Brume Ikperikpe

Just Back from Calabar

There have been widespread speculations, even among members of his flock, that the Founder and Sole Spiritual Leader of the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star (BCS), Olumba Olumba Obu, was dead.

What fueled the rumors and speculations was the sudden disappearance from public glare of the King of Kings, as he is commonly referred to by adherents, several years ago. For some time now all activities of the church outside Calabar which were supposed to be carried out by Olumba himself are handled by his son, Bishop Rowland Obu.

So severe were the conflicting reports of his death the WARRI NEWS, ever alive to its responsibilities, got cracking and anchored in Calabar, the World Headquarters of the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star on a fact finding mission.

WARRI NEWS can authoritatively reveal that Leader Olumba Olumba Obu is very much alive, hale and hearty.

Our reporter arrived at Calabar at exactly 9:30 pm on Saturday, August 6th, 2000 and headed straight to the World Headquarters where incidentally, the August 2000 jubilee celebration was taking place, which attracted thousands of faithfulls from all branches of Brotherhood worldwide.

Unaware that the visitor was a journalist, a member of the Church, when accosted said, You can’t just walk in and see the Leader like that. There are certain processes you have to follow. He continued, First you have to go to the Media and Publicity Unit, and if they are satisfied with your mission, they will refer you to another higher authority and if they are satisfied, you will then be taken to see the Father.

Unimpressed with the response, our reporter nosed around 34 Ambo where the Brotherhood headquarters is located until a trader who was selling his wares said to our reporter, Papa is alive. When prodded further, the trader who apparently was of Igbo extraction added, You know Papa is old. His son usually holds brief for him these days. But he is there. He strolls outside the compound occasionally and goes back. These were all Warri News could gather on the first visit.

At 5am the following Sunday morning, Warri News was already there, this time with a resolute mission to uncover the true position of things. After introducing himself and explaining his mission, our reporter was taken to Brother Eyo Okon, the Information Secretary of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star inside the main auditorium.

As he was answering questions from our reporter, Olumba Olumba Obu, the Founder and Sole Spiritual Leader of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star Worldwide, emerged from His temple to the bewildered amusement of our reporter. Okon suddenly sprawled on the floor and announced the presence and mission of this reporter to the Holy Father. This reporter was called upon to mount the rostrum with a microphone. After explaining his mission himself as requested, this brief dialogue took place between him and Leader Olumba Olumba Obu:

Mr. Journalist, as you came here did you meet my corpse?

No sir, I met you alive, our reporter replied.

He continued, "I am aware of the rumors of my death, even among members of my church. But I can assure you that all those wishing me dead, or are spreading wicked rumors that I am dead, they will all die. I cannot die. God does not die."

Is it true that you can appear physically at different places at the same time? our reported inquired.

He replied, Oh yes! God does not stay in one place. I am everywhere, the legendary Olumba Olumba Obu replied. He continued, I installed Charles Taylor as President of Liberia. He came here to Calabar to see me, and I gave him the presidency of Liberia. They said no black man would rule South Africa, but I ensured that Nelson Mandela ruled that country and succeeded by Thabo Mbeki. He continued further, "I gave Shegu Shagari a 6-month ultimatum to repent. He refused and he was toppled exactly on the day the ultimatum expired. I have also made sure that a black man will rule the United States of America soon, the spiritual leader added. One fascinating thing about Olumba Olumba Obu our reporter noted, was that at 82, having manifested on earth" in 1918, is that there is nothing to show that he was aged. Calm, soft-spoken, without any trace of wrinkles or any other tell-tale sign of old age, Olumba looked like a 45 year old man. He jumped and danced around effortlessly.

A spokesman for the Brotherhood, Paul Ugochukwu, said the leader would never grow old. He gets younger and younger by the day, Ugochukwu, a famous aircraft pilot enthused. Another aide, His Royal Highness, Uforo Edidem, said when Olumba was born, a blind woman carried him and she immediately regained her sight. At the end of the session, our reporter was requested to sing a Christian song for the Father as Papa loves songs.

Our reporter chose this song, We give Glory to the Lord, He reigns. He reigns, He reigns, He reigns, we give glory to the Lord He reigns.

The Holy Father nodded in approval, while the rest of the congregation exploded in ecstasy and took up the chorus.

By this report, all speculations and rumors over the purported death of Leader Olumba Olumba Obu have finally been put to rest. He is hale and hearty and does not seem to be in a hurry to leave this planet.

THE HOLY SPIRIT

Our Lord Jesus Christ is the beginning and the end. He existed even before the foundation of the world was laid. This is why he had the boldness to say that He existed before Abraham was. See the Bible Text below: Verily, verily, I say unto you, before Abraham was, I am. (John 8:58). In John 17:5 He also resounded His earlier existence as He said: And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thy own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. (John 17:5).

This is food for thought for the inhabitants of the world. Ponder over this excerpt. To whom do you think such magnifying glory (that which was kept from the beginning of the world) would be given? Note that this is not the era when God should be revealed to another by his neighbor or brother.(Hebrews 8:11). We have been referring to God as God of Abraham, Isaac Jacob and other patriarchs, yet this same personality has authoritatively declared that he existed even before Abraham. Who then is this personality ? HE IS THE WORD OF GOD. HE IS THE POWER OF GOD. HE IS THE TRUTH. HE IS THE HOLY SPIRIT AND ETERNAL LIFE. He received the greatest tribulation and suffering. He suffered a series of humiliations and deprivations. But today, He is the one to be glorified, above every other person in the world.

Of all the people that have ever existed, Our Lord Jesus Christ is the only one who exemplified humility in its true form. He subjected Himself to crucifixion- the most disgraceful of all deaths. Consider a situation where Peter, one of His disciples wanted to defend Him with a sword, and He scolded Him as recorded in Matthew 26:52-54 "Put up again thy sword into its place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.

Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and He shall give me more than twelve legions of angels? But how then can the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?"

In fact His goodness is without comparison. In leadership, patience, longsuffering, among other virtues, there is none to compete with Him. His recondite wisdom confounds the whole world. If your preaching centers on Moses, Abraham, and other patriarchs, know that you are preaching about human beings. It is said that whatever has a beginning must surely have an end. Accordingly, your preaching will come to an end. However if you preach about Our Lord Jesus Christ you are invariably preaching about the Holy Spirit and your preaching will endure forever. PREACH THAT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF MAN, THE SON OF GOD, AND GOD HIMSELF. HE IS THE PROPHET, THE HIGH PRIEST, THE LORD AND KING WHO LIVES FOREVER. HIS KINGDOM HAS NEITHER A BEGINNING NOR AN END. This is the full witness about Our Lord Jesus Christ. However, from Adam, nobody knew or recognized Him as Christ, only the Almighty God who formed the heaven and the earth and the fullness thereof recognized and acknowledged Him as the Christ.

If you preach about Christ, you are invariably preaching about God and His whole creation.

Those who claim that Christ was the son of Joseph and Mary are advised to consider the Biblical excerpt below:

And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thy own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. (John 17:5) The question now is, did Joseph and Mary exist before the foundation of the world was laid? Another school of thought refers to Christ as the son of David. This class should be directed to this authority: He saith unto them, How then doth David in Spirit call Him Lord, saying, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? If David then call Him Lord, how is he his son? (Matt 22: 43-45)

ANOTHER GROUP OF PEOPLE CALLS HIM JESUS OF NAZARETH. THIS GROUP HAS ALSO ERRED BECAUSE NAZARETH OF YESTERDAY DID NOT EXIST BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD WAS LAID. THOSE WHO REFER TO HIM AS AN ISRAELITE ARE ALSO MISTAKEN. WHEN THE WORLD WAS WITHOUT FORM AND VOID, WAS THERE ANY COUNTRY OR NATION LIKE ISRAEL? All these are men's folly. HENCEFORTH LET IT BE KNOWN THAT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. Your ignorance about the deity of Christ constitutes the problem of the entire world. This is so because, if you do not know a person, you are bound to give a false witness or report about such a person.

In Brotherhood of the Cross and Star from January first to December thirty first of every year, we preach and bear witness about Our Lord Jesus Christ. Our songs and testimonies are also about Him and His glory. IT IS ERRONEOUS TO REFER TO HIM AS JESUS; LIKE HE IS JUST ANOTHER HUMAN BEING. THE TRUTH IS THAT HE IS GOD, THE CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH. HE IS THE I AM THAT I AM, THE EVER-EXISTING GOD. MANY PEOPLE ARGUE THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT CANNOT MANIFEST AS MAN AND THAT THE SPIRIT IS NOT HUMAN. THIS IS A TERRIBLE MISCONCEPTION. WHAT ABOUT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST? DID HE NOT MANIFEST IN THE FORM OF A HUMAN BEING? THOSE WHO ARGUE THAT GOD CANNOT BE SEEN BY MORTAL EYES ARE ALSO MISTAKEN. WAS JESUS THE CHRIST NOT GOD; AND WAS, HE NOT SEEN? ANOTHER CLASS OF PEOPLE CLAIM THAT GOD IS SUSPENDED UP THERE IN HEAVEN, ABOVE THE SKY. WHAT ABOUT JESUS WHO MANIFESTED AMONG MEN AND WAS SEEN BY ALL AND SUNDRY? IF YOU ARE NOW CONVINCED THAT JESUS CHRIST WAS GOD IN HUMAN FORM YOU MUST TELL OTHERS THAT GOD HIMSELF IS NOW ON EARTH.

In accordance with the scriptures He was to be called Emmanuel, i.e. God with us. However, at his birth, the angel changed His name to Jesus.

THE TRIUNE GOD HAS REEMERGED:

OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST CONSTITUTES THE TRINITY GODHEAD. WHY IS HE CALLED THE TRINITY ? IT IS BECAUSE HE HAD EXISTED EVEN WHEN THERE WAS NO WORLD. HE MANIFESTED AS THE FATHER IN DIFFERENT ASPECTS TO FORM THE WORLD AND THE FULLNESS THEREOF. THIS WAS HIS FIRST ADVENT.

WHEN HE CAME BACK TO RECONCILE MAN BACK TO THE FATHER, HE ASSUMED ANOTHER TITLE, THE SON OF GOD, TO ENABLE HIM EXECUTE THAT SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT. THIS WAS HIS SECOND ADVENT. IN THIS THIRD AND FINAL ADVENT, SINCE HE HAS ALREADY SUCCESSFULLY RECONCILED MAN WITH THE FATHER, HE HAS COME BACK AS THE HOLY SPIRIT. IN THESE THREE ADVENTS OF THE TRINITY'S MANIFESTATION, LET IT BE KNOWN THAT IT IS JUST ONE PERSON WHO HAS BEEN COMING WITH DIFFERENT NAMES FOR THESE SPECIAL ASSIGNMENTS.

Why does the whole world lack this wisdom? OF COURSE, IT IS GOD WHO DEPRIVES US OF THE ABILITY TO COMPREHEND THAT HE ALONE EXISTS. As a matter of fact it is erroneous to believe in the existence of ghost, mermaid, incubus, juju or any diabolical substance. God alone exists, and nothing else is in existence beside Him. It is however pathetic that the entire people of world the world, being in darkness are ignorant of this.

CHAPTER ONE

BEHOLD I MAKE ALL THINGS NEW

A. THE EFFICACY OF THE SPOKEN WORD

THE EFFICACY OF THE SPOKEN WORD

TEXT OF DISCOURSE: JOHN :1- END.

1: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2: The same was in the beginning with God.

3: All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

4: In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

5: And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

6: There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

7: The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.

8: He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

9: That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

10: He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

11: He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

12: But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

13: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

14: And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

15: John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.

16: And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.

17: For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

18: No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

19: And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?

20: And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.

21: And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.

22: Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?

23: He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.

24: And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.

25: And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that

26: John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;

They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.

27: He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.

28: These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.

29: The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

30: This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.

31: And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.

32: And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.

33: And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.

34: And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.

35: Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;

36: And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!

37: And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.

38: Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?

39: He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.

40: One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

41: He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.

42: And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.

43: The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.

44: Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

45: Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

46: And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.

47: Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!

48: Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.

49: Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.

50: Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.

51: And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

THE COMPOSITION OF THE WORD: THE WORD IS GOD

Brethren, money, clothes and any material thing cannot do anything but the only Word does everything. The word is everything and everything depends on the word. The blood in you is made up of the word, the life, love, are all made up of the word. This is the time of reconstruction. When we first came here, this place was very small, but as time went on and with the Father's manifest word, this place has expanded and many people now come here. Now, through the word, Brotherhood of the Cross and Star has spread to the entire world. If you say that you know God, why then do you not know the word, whereas the word is God. Many of you keep saying that you cannot compare yourself with Leader Olumba Olumba Obu and even assert that there is none in the world who can do it. So it may be and it has come to fulfillment, but I am telling you that we are one, and Brotherhood is the word since it is the word that makes Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. However, the word from the world is counterfeit while the word from the Holy Spirit is life, wealth, wisdom, peace and love. So, if you joke with the word, you are joking with yourself and with God and in consequence, you will be in darkness. Do you not know that everything in existence is made to exist through the Father's spoken word? When He makes a pronouncement, the sun, moon, stars are shaken. Now, there is no more sin, you are now the righteous children of God. Go out to the world and speak the word and the whole world will be saved.

THE BENEFITS OF THE WORD

Beloved, if all of you receive and believe this lesson,
