THE CREATIVE POWER OF THE SPOKEN WORD.

First Bible Lesson: Matthew Chapter 8 verse 8

"The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come
under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed."
Second Bible Lesson: Ephesians Chapter 4 verse 29
"Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that, which is good
to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers."
Golden Text: Luke Chapter 1 verse 37
"For with God nothing shall be impossible."
Brethren, the texts read to you summarize the theme of our lesson. You should ta
ke particular note of this gospel. You have heard the first and second lessons a
s well as the golden text. There is not a single Word of God that is without pow
er. That is why, you are advised not to allow evil communication to proceed out
of your mouth.
The Word Heals:
Are you aware of the fact, there is no word that comes out of your mouth that wi
ll fail to manifest? Every word that proceeds from your mouth must be fulfilled.
The centurion told Our Lord Jesus Christ, "I am not worthy that thou shouldest
come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed." Ou
r Lord Jesus Christ said unto him, "Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be
it done unto thee." (Matthew Chapter 8 verse 13). Who do you think healed the c
enturion's servant? Note, he requested Our Lord Jesus Christ to speak The Word a
nd his servant will be healed.
Speak No Evil:
We are warned not to allow evil communication to proceed out of our mouths, beca
use there is no Word of God that is not without power. Every word that proceeds
from your mouth is power. Who does the work in the entire world? It is the word.
With what does the presiding magistrate or judge pass his judgement? Is it not
the word? The scripture tells us, "For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and
by thy words thou shalt be condemned." (Matthew Chapter 12 verse 37).
It should now be clear to you, all things are created through the word, yet the
world knows not The Word. That is why, it has been stressed, you should not allo
w evil communication to proceed out of your mouth. The moment you pronounce, you
are going to die, your death becomes imminent. If you say, you are experiencing
hardship, you are sure to experience real hard times. When you proclaim, you ar
e always unlucky and, whenever you do good to people, you are repaid with evil,
what do you think about yourself? Your words must come to pass. When you utter g
ood words, they will manifest accordingly because the words so spoken are God an
d no word that comes from God is without power.
Issues of Blood Healed in Two Generations with the Word:
Remember the woman who suffered from the issue of blood for 12 years. Her convic
tion was, if only she could touch the edge of the garment of Our Lord Jesus Chri
st she would be healed. What then healed her? The words which she spoke saying,
"If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole." (Matthew Chapter 9 verse 21)
. It was the efficacy of the word that healed her. Also in this generation, when
a woman who suffered from the issue of blood for 12 years heard about the fame
and power of the Holy Spirit in this Kingdom, she declared, if she could only be
hold the Holy Father, she would be healed. And it came to pass, the moment she b
eheld the Holy Father, she was healed.
These occurrences also explain why, you are warned not to allow evil communicati
on to proceed out of your mouth. They explain why, you are told to always speak
words that are good to the use of edifying, that minister grace unto hearers and
promote holiness, knowledge, joy, and prosperity. Nothing else besides the word
does the work here.
You Are Gods:
It is the word that keeps alive, kills, quickens, prospers, and does all things.
Often, after speaking, your defense is, it was a mere joke. There is nothing li
ke joking with the word. There is no Word of God that is without power. That is
why, it is written in Psalms 82 verse 6 that ye are gods, children of the Most H
igh. Because you are gods, whatever words come out of your mouth, must come to p
ass. It is on the basis of this, the scripture says, He is here in the world wor
king but the world knows Him not. The whites have manufactured and invented all
kinds of things, but have they been able to invent the word? The Bible says, "In
the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God." (
John Chapter 1 verse 1). It was through the word that the sun, moon, stars, wate
r, air, trees, animals, fishes, birds, sand, stones, and every other thing was c
reated. With this understanding, do not joke with the word.
The Word Made Zacharias Dumb:
You will remember the case of Zacharias, when he was praying in the temple, an a
ngel of God, Gabriel, appeared to him and told him that his wife, Elizabeth, sha
ll bear a son who will be called John. Zacharias wondered how that would take pl
ace, as he and his wife were old and well stricken in years. The angel answered
and said unto Zacharias, "I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God, and a
m sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings. And behold thou
shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be p
erformed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their
season." (Luke Chapter 1 verse 20).
Brethren, can you see another example explaining why, you are told not to allow
evil communication to proceed out of your mouth? Zacharias became dumb immediate
ly as the angel had said. It also explains the saying, it is fulfilled unto you
according to your faith.
When God created all things including Adam and Eve, He asked them to eat every f
ruit except the one in the middle of the garden, because it was the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil. This illustration shows again why, you are warned no
t to allow evil communication to proceed out of your mouth, since there is no Wo
rd of God that is without power.
God said in the first instance, whoever ate of that fruit would surely die, sinc
e it was the tree of good and evil. Adam and Eve later ate of that forbidden fru
it. When they heard God's voice, both of them ran away and hid themselves. When
God asked them why they were hiding, they replied, they were naked. God then ask
ed how they knew, they were naked or whether anyone told them. God also asked th
em whether they had eaten of the forbidden fruit. Adam admitted, it was the woma
n whom God gave to him that persuaded him to eat. When God asked Eve why she ate
the forbidden fruit, she replied, the serpent was responsible. If God had not c
ommanded, whoever ate of the fruit would die, what do you think would have happe
ned to Adam and Eve? Here is the proof, there is no Word of God without power.
No Word of God Is without Power:
God then turned to the serpent and said, "Because thou hast done this, thou art
cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shal
t thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of your life." (Genesis Chapter
3 verse 14). "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy
seed and her seed." To Eve He said, "I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy
conception; in sorrow shalt thou bring forth children; and thy desire shall be t
o thy husband, and he shall rule over thee." (Genesis Chapter 3 verse 16). It is
because of that pronouncement that every woman today, no matter her size and po
sition, is under the subjection of man. And the pains and travail which a woman
suffers before she gives birth to a child result from those pronouncements from
God.
God finally turned to the man and said, "Because thou hast hearkened unto the vo
ice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I command thee, saying, th
ou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou
eat of it all the days of thy life. In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat brea
d, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust tho
u art, and unto dust shalt thou return." (Genesis Chapter 3 verse 19). The state
of affairs in the world today reveals the fulfillment of those pronouncements,
even though man alleges today, juju, apparition, man, witchcraft and so on are r
esponsible for such calamities.
Since God had pronounced, whosoever ate of that fruit shall surely die, that is
why there is death today. He also said, the fruits of that tree consisted of goo
d and evil. That is why, there is good and evil in every human being. That is wh
y, you can praise a man early in the morning but by 10 a.m. you stand out to con
demn the person you had earlier praised. It also explains why good and evil qual
ities abound in every sphere of human endeavour. Man toils and tills the ground,
and goes up and down, yet he cannot gather enough yield. There is suffering eve
rywhere today, to manifest the pronouncements made by God.
The Destruction Of Sodom And Gomorrah Resulted From Noah's Curse Upon His Son:
Again, Noah had three sons and one of them saw his nakedness. When Noah was so d
runk and lost his senses, he staggered along the road naked. His son apart from
seeing his Father's nakedness also mocked at him. (Genesis Chapter 9 verse 22).
When the other two son heard about the incident, they walked backwards with a lo
in cloth in their hands and covered Noah's nakedness. When on the morrow Noah he
ard of his behaviour and the son's reaction, he cursed the son who mocked at him
. The two cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were the direct descendants of the cursed
son of Noah. You can see, the curse passed from that son unto his descendants.
So is it with other evil words.
All Things Are Caused by God:
Another case is that of Isaac and his two sons, Esau and Jacob. For the children
being not yet born, it was said, "The elder shall serve the younger." (Genesis
Chapter 25 verse 23). Esau was very hard working and a good hunter, and it was c
lear, Isaac would bless him. It is worth noting, there is nothing God had said t
hat would not come to pass. So that God's purpose according to election might be
fulfilled, before it was time for Isaac to bless his children he became blind.
This is to prove to you, God is responsible for everything that takes place.
Esau Faked:
Therefore, when Isaac asked Esau to get some venison and make for him savoury me
at so, he could bless him; Rebekah immediately went and told Jacob and they both
connived; and deceived Isaac. Isaac loved Esau more than Jacob, while Rebekah l
oved Jacob. Since Esau was hairy and Jacob was smooth, Rebekah faked Jacob's ski
n with the skin of the kids of the goats. Jacob carried out his mother's advice,
and Isaac blessed him immensely, praying for his prosperity, long life, and man
y other good things and even asked, his brother would be subjected to him. Jacob
was bestowed with everything good. Immediately Jacob left Isaac's presence, Esa
u arrived, prepared savoury meat and asked his father to eat and bless him as pr
omised. Isaac replied, he had not even a single blessing left. (Genesis Chapter
27 verses 35 to 40).
The Elder Shall Serve the Younger:
It is further proved here that everything is done through the word. Through the
word one is blessed or cursed, and through the word one can build or destroy. Th
e prediction that was given when Esau and Jacob were not born, the elder shall s
erve the younger, came to pass accordingly. (Genesis Chapter 25 verse 23). The c
ircumstances surrounding Jacob's blessing were to make way for the fulfillment o
f God's promise. Esau not being blessed also fulfilled God's promise concerning
him. Isaac only told him to take heart and continue to labour, and that it shall
come to pass when Esau shall have dominion. (Genesis Chapter 27 verse 40).
Can you realize why, the centurion told Our Lord Jesus Christ to speak the word
and his servant would be healed? The Centurion understood the efficacy of the wo
rd. That explains why, Isaac could not utter any word of blessing when Esau aske
d him for his own share of blessing.
Jacob Blessed His Children:
Jacob had twelve sons and when he was about to die he assembled them and reveale
d to them what shall befall them. To Reuben, Jacob said, for defiling his bed he
shall never prosper. (Genesis Chapter 49 verse 4). The poor people you have aro
und are the descendants of Reuben.
To Simeon and Levi, Jacob said, the instruments of cruelty would be in their hab
itations, for in their anger they slew men; and in their self-will, they dug dow
n a wall. He prayed, his soul shall have nothing to do with them. To them he als
o said, the sword shall never leave their habitation, and they shall continue in
warfare. The descendants of Simeon and Levi always desire to kill and wage war.
There is nothing you will do to satisfy or pacify them. During Jacob's return t
o his land with all his children including Levi, Simeon and their sisters, they
had to tarry in a certain city. While there, the son of the King of that city be
came intimate with Jacob's daughter, who was a sister to Levi and Simeon. When t
he affair became known to both parents, the King pleaded with Jacob and promised
to marry Jacob's daughter to the King's son, and to get all the inhabitants of
the city circumcised according to Jacob's demand. But at night, Simeon and Levi
went to the city and killed the people and destroyed their kingdom without their
father's consent. That was why, Jacob said to them that the sword will never de
part from their habitation.
To Judah, Jacob said, "The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver f
rom between his feet, until Shiloh came; and unto him shall the gathering of the
people be." (Genesis Chapter 49 verse 10).
When it was Joseph's turn, Jacob showered bountiful blessings upon him, more tha
n he had upon any other person. (Genesis Chapter 49 verses 1 to 33). Can you sti
ll doubt the efficacy of The Word? Can you realise why, the centurion asked Our
Lord Jesus Christ to speak the word only, and his servant shall be healed? With
this realization, do not joke with the word that proceeds out of the mouth of Go
d, whether you believe it or not. You may say something and later forget it, but
sooner or later that statement will come to pass. A local adage says, it is the
mouth of the monkey that kills the monkey. Our greatest undoing and problems co
me from the words we speak. The word does all things. Let our first lesson be re
ad.
First Bible Lesson: Matthew Chapter 8 verse 8
"The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come
under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed."
Oral Communication Is the Boon and Bane of Life:
Brethren, have you heard what the scripture says? The Centurion understood how e
fficacious words are. It is through the word that all things are done. In the ar
my and even in the war-front, except a word of command is given to shoot, no sol
dier can shoot. In markets transactions are done through oral communication and
the tool is the word. In the institutions of learning, instructions and learning
processes are done through the word. The only instrument that is used even in i
ndustries and commercial houses is the word.
That is why, the scripture says, "For in many things we offend. If any man offen
d not in word, the same is a perfect man." (James Chapter 3 verse 2). Whatever h
appens to you is a result of the words of your mouth. The word is a two-edged sw
ord that cuts to and fro. When it is sent out, it bounces back with effects. The
re is no word that proceeds out of your mouth that is without power.
It is on the basis of this, we are told, on the judgement day every person shall
give account of all the vain words he had spoken. All the problems that come to
you are caused by the words of your mouth. That is why, the scripture says, "Fo
r by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned
." (Matthew Chapter 12 verse 37).
By Your Words Are You Justified:
It is for this reason, you are told, today when you hear his voice harden not yo
ur heart. (Hebrews Chapter 3 verses 7 and 8). When God tells you to go, go immed
iately; and when He commands you not to go, do not go. Obedience is the first la
w in the Kingdom of God. In this Kingdom, it is the Word that does everything. F
or this reason, whatsoever you are asked to do, do just that. It is on the basis
of this, you are told to knock and it shall be opened, ask, and it shall be giv
en you; seek, and ye shall find. (Matthew Chapter 7 verse 7).
Whenever any person appeared before Our Lord Jesus Christ, He would ask the pers
on what he wanted Him to do for him. That was so because out of the words of you
r mouth, you shall be justified or condemned. (Matthew Chapter 12 verse 37). You
cannot offer to help somebody, who comes to you asking for money, but you tell
him to kneel down and accept prayers, of what value do you think your prayer wil
l be to him. If somebody is sick and requests you to pray for him, the moment yo
u offer prayers to him, he will recover because it will be fulfilled to him acco
rding to his faith.
You Have God's Authority When You Are Sent:
When God wanted somebody, who would come to the world and lay down his life for
the salvation of mankind, Our Lord Jesus Christ indicated His willingness to do
so. By his acceptance, he went with God's full support and permission. In your o
wn case, if you do a thing, you are not instructed to do, through whose authorit
y do you do it? What do you think works miracles in the world? The command, "Go,
I am before and behind you," works like magic. Go, raise the dead, heal the sic
k, and so on, carry with them, the stamp of authority. Freely ye received, (Matt
hew Chapter 10 verse 8), freely ye shall give; for a labourer is worthy of his w
age. There is no need to request money for doing anything. The moment you enter
into God's vineyard, everything is provided. It is said, one person can take a h
orse to the stream, but a hundred people cannot force it to drink. Consequently,
you do not have to drag or plead with a sick person to come to Brotherhood and
be healed. It is the sick who seeks for a physician. If you ask and you do not r
eceive know, you have not received authority from the Father. But if He tells yo
u to go and do something, His authority accompanies the word. You can now unders
tand why, you are told not to allow evil communication to proceed out of your mo
uth.
Evils of the Tongue:
Those who say, whether one does good or bad death awaits him, die as they profes
s since all spoken words must come to pass. If you say, you are an unlucky man,
and whenever you do good to somebody he repays you with evil, your words will co
me to pass. If you continue to say, you come from a very wicked and unkind famil
y, that is how your family will be. If you nurse the idea, you are from a poor f
amily that never prospers, it will surely be fulfilled to you according to your
faith, no matter how much you struggle. What can bring to existence what had nev
er existed and cause to extinct what exists? It is the word. Who can raise or de
base somebody? It is the word.
Words Wrought Miracles:
When Sarah was praying, the angel of God appeared to her and told her that she w
ould conceive and deliver a child, who shall be called Isaac, and it came to pas
s. You also remember the case of Naaman the leper. (2nd Kings Chapter 5 verse 14
). He had washed his body in the same body of water for several times but was no
t cleansed. When Elisha met him and commanded him to fall into the water, Naaman
argued, he was just from the same water. When Elisha's servant appealed to Naam
an to obey the prophet; so Naaman did, and Naaman became cleansed. Out of joy Na
aman went home and gathered plenty of wealth and presented to Elisha. Elisha ref
used, telling Naaman that it was God who healed him. (2nd Kings Chapter 5 verse
27).
Good and Evil Prevail in Words:
Do not forget God's pronouncement in the beginning that the forbidden fruit in t
he Garden was the Tree of Good and Evil. To confirm this, in your house and betw
een you and your wife, or you and your children, these elements of good and evil
prevail.
Although Elisha did not receive Naaman's gift, Elisha's servant turned back to N
aaman and collected the gift, deceiving Naaman that it was Elisha who sent the s
ervant to collect it. When Elisha later knew what his servant had done, Elisha c
ursed his servant, and the servant became leprous. It is now clear, whatever you
witness around you is done by the word. If Elisha had not pronounced the curse
on his servant, nothing would have happened to the servant.
Angry Words Manifest to Bring Problems:
That is why, Our Lord Jesus Christ said, "Whosoever is angry with his brother wi
thout a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his
brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou
fool, shall be in danger of hell fire." (Matthew Chapter 5 verse 22). It was al
so in this connection that Peter asked Our Lord Jesus Christ, "Lord how oft shal
l my brother sin against me, and I forgive him. Till seven times?" Jesus said un
to him, "I say not unto thee, until seven times, (Matthew Chapter 18 verses 21 a
nd 22), but until seventy times seven."
Out of anger you say many things that come to pass, and bring about problems and
discomfort. Man on his own can do nothing, but action is contained in the spoke
n word? You have been here for twenty years and over, yet do you not know, the p
ower in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star resides in the spoken word. All the go
od words, you speak manifest themselves and all the evil communications that pro
ceed from your mouth manifest themselves equally.
A City without a Prophet Perishes:
I did tell you this story of a certain family that always believed and told peop
le, they were created to be poor. Whenever a member of the family wanted to marr
y or somebody wanted to marry in their family, they made sure they explained, th
eir family was perpetually poor. They will tell you, they have every other thing
except wealth. Here you will see the fulfillment of the statement of Our Lord J
esus Christ that it is fulfilled to everyone according to his faith. Because of
this belief, nobody in that family was ever wealthy. To fulfill what is written
in the Scriptures that a city without a prophet perishes, one day a certain prop
het went to that city to preach. A woman who married in that family asked the pr
ophet why the family was made poor right from creation. The prophet disagreed wi
th the woman and told her, their poverty is as a result of their utterances. The
prophet explained, since they always believed and professed, they were poor, it
became fulfilled unto them according to their faith. The prophet then asked the
woman not only to say from then henceforth that their family was a wealthy one
and the richest in the world, but also to advise everybody in their family so to
say. From that day the family became rich and produced wealthy persons. Nobody
should joke with this gospel because it is efficacious. The second lesson will n
ow be read.
Second Bible Lesson: Ephesians Chapter 4 verse 29
"Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that, which is good
to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers."
The Power of Words:
Have you heard what the scripture tells us? The family heeded the advice and pro
claimed, they were the richest family of the time. It became fulfilled to them a
ccordingly. Therefore, whatever situation you find yourself is a result of the w
ords of your mouth. If you say, you are poor you will be poor; if you say, you a
re weak you will be weak. Each time the family told people, they were the riches
t family, people who had known them laughed at them. You can now realise why you
are told, He is in the world doing His work, but the world does not know Him. P
eople seek for God in the sky, water, air and all over the place, yet He is here
in the world doing His work. When you say to somebody, you do not joke with eye
s, ears, feet, hands or the whole of your body, because you use them in serving
God, do you think it is these parts of the body that do the work here? The work
is done by the power of the spoken word. That is why, you are told, "today when
you hear His voice, harden not your heart." (Hebrews Chapter 4 verse 7). It was
not long after the family had continued to declare, they were rich when they bec
ame prosperous. Those who were working got promoted, the unemployed got jobs and
the woman had a contract, and very soon they became overwhelmingly rich. The fa
mily is second to none up till today.
How Words Manifest:
If you pronounce, you will not be sick, you will not be poor, you will not die,
etc., these words will fulfill in you accordingly. If you believe and say, there
is no juju, or mermaid, or apparition, or charms, and so on, and also, they hav
e no dominion over you, it will come to pass. If you say you are rich, every per
son loves you, you are lucky, well, strong, and that everything is good with you
, it will fulfill accordingly. If you say, you will never die but will live eter
nally, so shall it come to pass. But if you believe in the statement, whether on
e does good or bad, he will die; and you make a will, for your survivors, to gua
rd against eventual death, then you are already marching to death.
If you say, your family is a very good family and they love Brotherhood it will
come to pass as said. But if you say, your family is so bad and wicked and does
not like Brotherhood it will equally come to pass as said. When you pray that th
e entire world should be filled with love, and there should be no more war, the
same will be manifested in the world. If you say, there is prosperity, love, goo
d health, and that the Holy Spirit flourishes on earth, the same will fulfill.
If you say, the Father has changed everybody, and we are already in the Kingdom
of God, it will surely come to pass. A local adage says, despite the good words
in the parrot's mouth, evil words precede.
The Holy Spirit Is the Word:
It goes to confirm the words of Our Lord Jesus Christ when He said, whosoever sp
eaks evil against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whosoever speaks evil aga
inst the Holy Spirit shall neither be forgiven in this generation, nor in the ge
neration to come. (Matthew Chapter 12 verse 32, Mark Chapter 3 verse 29). If you
slap, stone, or kick somebody you will be forgiven. But if you utter any evil w
ord against somebody, you will not be forgiven, because those words shall not fa
il to be fulfilled. There is no forgiveness for any evil communication that proc
eeds from your mouth. When Our Lord Jesus Christ said, He laid down His life, an
d would equally take it back, (John Chapter 10 verse 18), the people did not und
erstand, He was only explaining the efficacy of the word. He was not killed by t
he Jews after all. He gave His life willingly for our salvation and had the powe
r to regain it. He told His disciples, He would go to Jerusalem and there suffer
many things, and be killed, and be raised again on the third day. When those wo
rds were fulfilled, was anybody responsible for the events? Who did those things
? Would you say, any person was responsible for His predicaments?
The Effects of Words:
Did He not say, there was no Word of God without power? If He did not say, God w
ould cause Him to resurrect on the third day, He would not have resurrected. If
He had not said, He would be beaten, tortured and finally killed nothing would h
ave happened to Him. (Matthew Chapter 16 verses 21 to 23, Mark Chapter 8 verse 3
1, Luke Chapter 9 verse 22). Therefore, He was responsible for whatever befell H
im. His resurrection was also His handiwork.
Whatsoever you experience is a direct result of the words that proceed out of yo
ur mouth. Nothing can happen to you, unless you have said it. When God had creat
ed everything, He asked Adam to name them. Everything became known and called by
whatever name Adam gave to it. If you read in Genesis chapter one, you will fin
d out that after God had created everything, he observed His work and declared,
they were all good. Where then comes evil now?
The Key that Unlocks Every Door:
The gospel I am giving to you is very precious and highly priced. If you lack mo
ney; or you want to travel, but find no car, whatever is the problem you may hav
e, just speak positively and you will have it. Our Lord Jesus Christ said, "What
ever belongs to my Father belongs to me and whatever belongs to me belongs to my
Father." (John Chapter 16 verse 15). He also said, "I and my Father are one." (
John Chapter 10 verse 30).
Try this gospel and you will discover its efficacy. God is no other thing than t
he word, and this word resides in you. If anybody tells you, he is responsible f
or anything, tell him, it is the word and not him. If anybody comes to you with
sickness, pronounce that his sickness is gone, and right there the sickness will
be healed. The same solution applies to all kinds of problems that any person m
ay have. Just speak the word and all problems stand solved.
Wherever the Father Is, There You Are Also:
If the world condemns a person as a very bad man, but you counter that the perso
n is good, the person will change for good. Now that the key to goodness and rig
hteousness has been given to you, will you continue to pronounce vain words? He
had said, "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me
. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told y
ou. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I
will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be a
lso." (John Chapter 14 verses 1 to 3). When you argue, no one can be like Our Lo
rd Jesus Christ, have you seen any person like Him? By mere saying, you are not
Jesus Christ means, you have denied Him and cannot be like Him. Had He not said,
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do s
hall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my
Father." (John Chapter 14 verse 12). In spite of this, do you not continue to sa
y, nobody can be like the Lord?
When I tell you, all of you are like unto the Father, you refuse that no person
can be like the Leader. I am telling you, all of you are like the Leader, and wh
erever I am there will you be also. Whether you believe it or not, we are one. T
he Father has conquered and you have also conquered. As it was through the sins
of one man that evil and punishment came unto mankind, so also has the righteous
ness of one man brought salvation unto all mankind. (Romans Chapter 5 verse 17 t
o 19).
Faith Is the Evidence of Things Not Seen, (Hebrews Chapter 11 verse 1):
What is faith? It is the word. What is the word? It is the evidence of things no
t seen, which you believe. When you show such belief, it means, you have faith.
Lack of faith makes many of you come to see the Father, or to refuse to go when
He tells you, "go, all is well." You will sit back and make some other complaint
s, because you do not believe in the power of the spoken word. If you go on the
road and are thirsty, but there is no water for you to drink, just kneel down an
d thank God for making water available, and immediately you will find a body of
water to draw from.
It is through the word that all things are made. Man himself was made from the w
ord. Even if a million people are against you, the moment you pronounce, they ha
ve become your friends, it shall be fulfilled thus, and they will all prostrate
before you. Even if armed robbers send you a letter to warn you of their visit,
just kneel down and pray and say, they have been barred and they will not come t
o you anymore. Whatever is your heart's desire, do not request from any person n
or cry, just pronounce the word and it shall be done unto you.
Power Resides in Man:
The word is everything including life, strength, prosperity, power, and so forth
. Before now, you had been thinking, this power belonged to the Father alone. Th
e power resides with every person to use. Have you ever heard the Father saying
evil words against anybody? Only good words proceed out of His mouth.
Remember the fig tree? (Matthew Chapter 21 verse 19). Our Lord Jesus Christ spok
e only the word and it withered away because it bore no fruits. Alternatively, i
f He blessed the tree, would it not have borne fruits? His words can make and un
make. In like manner, my blessings have no beginning and no end. It is not like
that of Isaac, which was limited. That is why, I stay with you and bless you fro
m January to December of every year. That is why, I say there are no armed robbe
rs, no murderers and no evil persons. Every person is good and we are all the Ch
ildren of God. If you say, anything is evil it will be evil to you. But I say, s
omething is good and it is good to me. It is fulfilled in everyone according to
their faith.
Golden Text: Luke Chapter 1 verse 37
"For with God nothing shall be impossible."
To the Pure All Things Are Pure, (Titus Chapter 1 verse 15):
Brethren, you can see, the position you find yourself is a direct result of your
utterances. You profess to know God, but do you know, God is the doer of everyt
hing you see on earth? It is the evil words that constitute what you call Satan,
and Satan constitutes what is called evil. But God is perfect. This explains wh
y, from January to December of each year, you do not hear evil communications fr
om my mouth.
If you had not known, God is the word, it means, you have not yet known God. If
you do not respect the word, it means you do not respect God. Also, if you do no
t honour the spoken word, it means you do not honour God. Also, if you do not be
lieve in the word, you do not believe in God. The only thing man cannot see is t
he word. Have you seen the word ever since you came here? You have only heard it
.
This is the kingdom of God and you have to believe in it. All the inhabitants of
the world are Brotherhood. Heaven and earth belong to the Father, and whatever
is owned by the Father belongs to His children. There is neither sickness, nor d
eath nor pestilence. Leave in peace with one another and impute no sins on other
s. Unto the pure all things are pure. (Titus Chapter 1 verse 15). If you say som
ething is bad, then it will be bad to you. Goodness Is a Concept of the Mind. Yo
u could say, somebody is so bad and is an embodiment of Satan, yet the same pers
on is seen by others as being very good and even called God's embodiment. Who th
en is right? You may pray, God should kill a certain person; and another person
is praying, God should bless the same person. Who has made a mistake? It is said
, all things work together for good to them that love God. (Romans Chapter 8 ver
se 28).
If everybody praises something, know such a thing is not good. Also, if everybod
y condemns something or somebody, know the thing or person is not bad. But if so
me people praise you while others condemn you then the equation is balanced. Tha
t is why, Christ said I am Alpha and Omega.
On the one hand, members of Brotherhood say, the Father is God; and Brotherhood
is the Kingdom of God. But the world, on the other hand, says, Brotherhood is a
demonic society and its Leader is a vampire, Satan and other evil names. For thi
s reason, those who seek after goodness and righteousness come into Brotherhood,
and those who see it as devilish and who are seeking for devilish power also co
me in. But the latter group, when they come in only discovers; this is the Kingd
om of God; and they will change their minds and receive the truth. That is why,
all sorts of persons are attracted here to accept and enjoy God's love.
All Things Work According to God's Plan:
If it were not for Judas Iscariot, how would the whole world have been saved? If
Our Lord Jesus Christ did not shed His blood, the whole world would have contin
ued in darkness and bondage till today. That is to say, there is nothing like ev
il. All things work according to God's plan.
Do not allow evil communication to proceed out of your mouth. Right from today a
lways pronounce any situation you find yourself in, as being good and you will s
ee the will of God manifest in you.
That is the gateway to wisdom. It explains why people complain, the Leader calls
every person good. The Leader calls every person good because if a man is evil,
when the Holy Father calls him good, he will automatically change and become go
od. If you call anyone bad, no matter how good he is, he will become bad. You ca
n now see, I have come to change you. I have actually changed you, but not with
force, cane or any weapon. It is through The WORD.
Brethren, a stroke of the cane is sufficient unto the wise, I do not intend to t
ake you any further. Those who have ears let them hear. May God bless His Holy W
ords. Amen.
THANK YOU FATHER.
