TRUTH OF THE KINGDOM*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.

* 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?

* 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?

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

OFWOOD, STONES, AND OTHER THINGS CREATED BY GOD. HASJUJU 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


6/21

exercise did not bring glory to God. He went away to advance the glory

of His Father.

5. 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 whodid 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.

6. 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?

THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL:

HE WHO IS TO RULEFIRST 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,


8/21

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 wasno 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 STEPSBACK 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 hisheart. 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.


9/21

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 materialthings. 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.


10/21

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 thedestroyer.

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 GNASHINGOF 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.


11/21

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 deadlysnakes, 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 THENWILL 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 whoshall 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.


12/21

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. GODALONE 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 ANYGOOD 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.


13/21

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 fromthe 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 toexpectation. 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. Everybranch 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


14/21

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 askedChrist 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 werewell 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 THEVIRTUE 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.


15/21

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. Thecreator 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 INPEACE AND PROSPERITY. MAN, JUJU, FOOD, MONEY AND THE OTHER

MUNDANE THINGS ARE COMPLETELY USELESS. GOD

PROMISED TO RULE AND REIGN FOREVER. (SEEISAIAH 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. ALLSHOULD 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 OFWOOD, STONES, AND OTHERTHINGS 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


16/21

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 NOTHESITATE 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 LOVEHIM 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


17/21

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 hehath, 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 thanthe 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 thefield 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.


18/21

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 ownerof 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 CLAIMOWNERSHIP 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 problemsin 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


19/21

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 YOUFORSAKE 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 sobecame 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 totake 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 usall. 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


20/21

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 theheight 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.
