THE SIGNIFICANCE OF REVELATIONS.

FIRST BIBLE LESSON: LUKE Chapter 1 verses 30 and 31

"And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with Go
d.
And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt c
all his name JESUS."
SECOND BIBLE LESSON: JOHN Chapter 1 verses 32 to 34
"And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a do
ve, and it abode upon him.
And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unt
o me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the
same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God."
GOLDEN TEXT: LUKE Chapter 4 verses 17 and 18
"And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he ha
d opened the book, he found the place where it was written.
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gos
pel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliveranc
e to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them
that are bruised."
DO NOT TOY WITH REVELATIONs:
Dear Brethren, the above text has gone a long way to confirm the fact, a country
without a prophet perishes. This knowledge has been brought to you now. It has
been made very clear to you, EXCEPT THE FATHER REVEALS HIMSELF TO YOU, YOU CANNO
T KNOW HIM. IF THE FATHER DOES NOT REVEAL A PARTICULAR THING TO YOU, YOU CANNOT
KNOW IT.
Most of the things that happened before and after the ascension of Our Lord Jesu
s Christ were foretold by the Prophets. They did not believe those events would
certainly happen and of a truth, all have come to pass as predicted. This was wh
y Christ said: "Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed." (JO
HN Chapter 20 verse 29).
There is no doubt, whatever is happening now was meant to happen through the rev
elation of the Holy Spirit. Some of these events were revealed to the prophet Is
aiah many years ago. For instance, the coming of John the Baptist, his type of f
ood, and his baptism were all revealed, and all that came to pass.
Malachi the prophet had earlier prophesied, prophet Elijah will come before the
messiah. All these things were prophesied before they came to pass but the point
here is, if the SPIRIT DOES NOT REVEAL ANYTHING TO YOU, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR YO
U TO KNOW IT. EVEN IF YOU SEE WITH YOUR NAKED EYES, IF THE SPIRIT DOES NOT REVEA
L ANYTHING TO YOU, HOW WOULD YOU UNDERSTAND IT? NOTHING IS KNOWN IN THE FLESH, A
LL THINGS ARE KNOWN IN THE SPIRIT BEFORE THEY MANIFEST PHYSICALLY.
The kingdom of God had for long been revealed in the spirit before its manifesta
tion now. Remember the dream of Nebuchadnezzar about the reign of different king
doms, and the last that remained for eternity. THIS IS THAT KINGDOM. That is why
many are not surprised to hear, THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS HERE ON EARTH. The cause
of your blindness is because you have refused to believe in the revelation of th
e Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit, angels, and the children of God cannot be seen e
xcept in spirit. As I earlier said, everything must first take place in Spirit b
efore it comes to physical manifestation.
Sometime ago, The Apostle-Evangelists Fellowship went on evangelical work and on
the way, the vehicles they went with broke down. Just at a time when they least
expected any help, a man came in a car and parked by their broken down bus and
demanded they should permit him to take the vehicle for repairs. They consented
to his request. The man took the brethren to his house, took good care of them,
and intimated them, it was previously revealed to him that he would see some peo
ple in white, encountering problems on the high way, and he should attend to the
ir needs and care for them. That is, all what he did was in compliance with his
revelation. Who do you think was responsible for that revelation?
YOU MUST BE IN SPIRIT AT ALL TIMES.
If you are in Spirit, God will reveal everything in Spirit to you. But when you
are in the flesh, you can never see the Holy Spirit. Do not say, until God does
a particular thing for you in person, you will not be convinced He is God. REFRA
IN FROM SIN, RECEIVE BAPTISM SO YOU MAY BE ENDOWED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT, BEFORE
YOU CAN COMFORTABLY SAY, YOU HAVE SEEN THE HOLY SPIRIT. Do not think, God will c
ome to your house or reveal Himself to you when you are still in the flesh. If y
ou think so then you are a fool. You should recall, it was revealed to prophet J
eremiah, a virgin would conceive and give birth to a child named Emmanuel. At th
is time, Jeremiah did not know the mentioned virgin. As a reminder, when the tim
e came, an angel of the Lord, named Gabriel, went and informed Mary about the pl
an of God for her. This confirms the fact, everything must first happen in the S
pirit before it manifests in the flesh.
It is surprising to see some members of this fold lacking in the gift of vision
and prophecy. DO YOU KNOW MOST OF YOUR PROBLEMS EMANATE FROM THE FACT, YOU DISBE
LIEVE IN THE REVELATION OF GOD?
GOD'S SUPREMACY ON EARTH:
Our Lord Jesus Christ was not known because of the healing He performed while on
earth, but because of what was written about Him. Until now, many people keep c
hallenging God with certain demands and conditions to be fulfilled so they can b
elieve in Him. If that is your position, it means you are already lost. Do you t
hink you can contest God's will? YOU HAVE PERISHED IF YOU DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE GOD
'S SUPREMACY ON EARTH. The confusion experienced by the entire world is as a res
ult of people hoping in high and exalted earthly positions. You assume, the Holy
Spirit will come and dwell in a mansion, cathedral, wearing a big crown, and li
ving in a well furnished mansion. But the reverse is the case. This is why it is
said, the wisdom of God confounds man. It is an act of foolishness to say, you
will only believe in God when He does one thing or the other. When many believed
Our Lord Jesus Christ was the Messiah at His birth, what did He do at that tend
er age to merit the name Messiah?
The truth remains, it is only the Spirit who has to reveal Himself to you before
you can know Him. With regard to many in this kingdom, the Father had revealed
Himself to them at a very tender age. You do not need to be told anything about
this kingdom, all you need to do is to read the scriptures, find out what was wr
itten about THE PROMISED COMFORTER, compare it with what you have seen, it is on
ly then and there you will come to the perfect knowledge of this kingdom. Right
now THE FATHER IS REVEALING HIMSELF TO PEOPLE GRADUALLY. IN NO DISTANT TIME, EVE
RYBODY WILL COME TO THE REALIZATION OF THE EXISTENCE OF THE PROMISED COMFORTER O
N THIS EARTH PLANE. God revealed Himself to Sister Marts right from the time she
was three years old. At the initial stage, she did not understand the whole thi
ng but as time went on, she was brought to the Father's presence where she found
the very God she had been looking for. Since then she is no longer living accor
ding to the dictates of the flesh, but according to the Father's directives. She
 does not put her mind into the acquisition of cars, money, children, or wealth
of any kind. She is content because she is sure of salvation, having seen her Co
mforter. You are merely fooling yourself, waiting for signs before you believe t
here is God. When you claim, I have been a member of Brotherhood for ten years n
ow, I have nine cars, children, wealth, good health, etc. and as such, I am conv
inced there is God, are you not a fool to say that? What does God have to do wit
h material things? Do you mean to say you are more interested in material things
than in your life?
ACCEPT HIM NOW AND REPENT OF YOUR SINS:
Whoever the Holy Spirit has revealed himself to, does not desire for material th
ings. And to them, eternal life is sure. I refer you to the Revelation of John a
bout this kingdom. All that had been revealed to John about this kingdom have al
l come to pass physically. You have therefore no cause to be misled by any teach
ing. Read the revelation of John from Chapter 1 to 22, you will realize this is
the time of the Lord. BECAUSE OF THE LOVE AND MERCY OF GOD FOR HUMANITY, HE IS G
RADUALLY REVEALING HIMSELF TO PEOPLE IN DIVERSE WAYS. HIS ELECTS ARE COMING TO I
NHERIT THE KINGDOM WITH HIM. If you love yourself, hold on to your position, els
e you will miss the kingdom. You are doubting the Holy Spirit, what are you wait
ing for? THIS IS THE RIGHT TIME FOR YOU TO REPENT AND ACCEPT HIM WHOLEHEARTEDLY,
FOR TOMORROW MAY BE TOO LATE, YOU MAY BE DESTROYED. If you claim, you do not be
lieve in vision, what else do you believe in? If you are not convinced of the pr
esence of God on earth through visions and prophesies, why not the things you ha
ve seen with your naked eyes, and those you have heard as testimonies?
Note that if up to this moment you are still a doubting Thomas on the activities
of the Holy Spirit, you have already perished. God has always been using His pr
ophets to reveal the future to His people. For instance, Prophet Isaiah prophesi
ed about the coming of John the Baptist as the forerunner of Christ and it came
to pass. He, God, also revealed to John the Baptist in a vision whoever he bapti
zes and the Holy Spirit would descend upon, such a person, that very person was
the Son of God. If it had not been previously revealed to John the Baptist, he w
ould not have known Our Lord Jesus Christ. Had Our Lord Jesus Christ not been re
vealed to the people, nobody would have known Him. He would not have been killed
and the entire world would have perished.
As was revealed to John to baptize with water, it was also revealed to him, the
person on whom the Holy Spirit would descend during baptism, would baptize peopl
e with the Holy Ghost and with fire. It is indeed a pitiful situation to realize
, people still look for signs and wonders before they believe in the Holy Spirit
. They want the dead to be raised, the sick healed, the poor made rich, etc.
They do not want to believe in the Holy Spirit through the revelation about Him.
It is rather unfortunate because these signs will not be seen. Everything about
His coming had already been revealed before now. Whatever you witness now is th
e fulfillment of what had been revealed. Be informed, if you did not know, it wa
s for the sake of identifying Christ, John had to baptize with water. This is so
because it was an avenue for Our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed.
EVENTS IN THE WORLD ARE MERE MANIFESTATIONS OF THE SPIRITUAL WORLD.
How could Mary, a virgin, accept to carry a pregnancy for nine months when she h
ad no knowledge of a man? What would have forced her to believe, her protruding
stomach contained a baby? She would have aborted it in order to avoid the shame
of being referred to as a mother of a bastard and the subsequent repercussion of
such sinfulness amongst the Jews. Since it was revealed to her, she did not hav
e any fear throughout the period of the pregnancy. She believed in the prophecy,
that which was in her womb was to be the savior of the entire world. If it were
not for the sake that Mary was to deliver God, Mary would have been killed for
being pregnant without the knowledge of her husband, for such an act was strictl
y against the law. Joseph, the husband of Mary, had secretly threatened to divor
ce her but for the timely intervention of the Holy Spirit. An angel of God was s
ent to him as recorded in Matthew Chapter 1 verse 20: "But while he thought on t
hese things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying,
Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that w
hich is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost."
What you refer to as dream, is communicating with God in the spirit; and it also
what you call vision. If you were the one, would you have taken it to be true?
Instead you would have accused your wife of infidelity.
You would now realize, the efficacy of vision, dream, and prophesy in the kingdo
m of God cannot be over emphasized.
Note everybody that is here in this kingdom, or will come in the future, had bee
n ordained already in the Spirit. That is why once the time is near for you to i
dentify with the kingdom, many would first see you in a dream or in a vision. Th
is physical world you enjoy so much is only a stage you are only passing through
because your real home is the spiritual world. It baffles me to see many, when
they come here, they do not want to go back to their home again, (i.e. Spiritual
Home). What good thing do you find here on earth, that could be compared to wha
t exists in the spiritual world, which is our real home?
YOUR BODY IS AN EMPTY CASE:
Your real self is not the physical body, (the flesh and bones). The physical bod
y is a mere case, a house in which your real person settles. When the spirit aba
ndons the flesh, your entire system ceases to function and that is when you are
pronounced dead. The physical death therefore means, you have departed this worl
d for your real home.
Many people are ignorantly buried alive. That is when their spirit leaves the fl
esh, may be on a particular journey, the flesh is either buried or put in a mort
uary by the people. By the time the Spirit comes back to find the body burnt, it
goes back to the spiritual world where it originally comes from. This accounts
for what I earlier told you that in time to come, we will build a place like a g
uest house. Whenever anybody's Spirit goes on a journey, the body or the case wi
ll be deposited there, so anytime the person comes back, it will enter its case
and continue its normal physical life.
The spirit is always around even at the time you claim a person is dead. It is t
here listening to whatever anybody says. During interment, it is there with the
bereaved at the graveyard. Before the Spirit departs the case finally, know the
case must have been completely defiled. It must have been left dirty; that is, i
t stinks. Read the First Bible Lesson again.
FIRST BIBLE LESSON: LUKE Chapter 1 verses 30 and 31
"And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with Go
d.
And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt c
all his name JESUS."
BEWARE OF DIVINE REVELATIONS:
If you were Mary, would you have believed this? If vision is not good, how then
would God have used it to inform Mary of what was to happen? Vision brings to yo
ur knowledge an event yet to come so you will be alert. Through visions or dream
s, nothing takes the children of God by surprise. Whoever does not believe in vi
sions or dreams doubts the Spirit. Many situations which you would have brought
under control, or completely averted, happen because of your refusal to believe
in the spiritual warnings or advice in vision or dream. You cannot blame God for
this because He must have revealed it to you, but you refused to believe it.
FOR INSTANCE, NOBODY CAN ARGUE WITH THE FACT, IT IS THE VIRGINS WHO WILL EVENTUA
LLY INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD, BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN REVEALED AND DOCUMENTED EVEN
BEFORE THIS GENERATION CAME TO BE. I HAVE BEEN TELLING YOU BEFORE THIS TIME, YO
U SHOULD SANCTIFY YOURSELF AND KEEP YOURSELF HOLY, FOR GOD REQUIRES THOSE WHO AR
E HOLY. WHOEVER KEEPS HIMSELF HOLY IS COUNTED WORTHY TO INHERIT THIS KINGDOM JUS
T AS IT IS RECORDED IN THE SCRIPTURES:
But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrect
ion from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage. (LUKE Chapter 20 ve
rse 35).
THE MANIFESTATION OF PROPHECIES:
Do these things not come to manifest today? God has started selecting His elects
, the children of God. You have no excuse to wait until a particular time. If yo
u want to wait till all that has been revealed come to pass, then you will regre
t. If you are a doubting Thomas, pray fervently for a change of attitude or else
it will be too late for you.
It is a crime to think God is not in existence, just because He has not revealed
Himself to you. Seeing with the eyes before believing is dangerous for anyone w
ho calls himself a child of God. That is why it is said: "Blessed are they that
have not seen, and yet have believed." (JOHN Chapter 20 verse 29).
You would recall, it was because of the revelation given to Mary by the angel, s
he did not leave the seminary for home, even when she had completed her course.
She believed in that revelation, and really wanted to see to its fulfillment. If
she had gone home, the mere fact she stayed with her husband, even without any
sexual contact, people would have disqualified her pregnancy or disproved the id
ea, she was conceived of the Holy Ghost. Also if she had gone home, she might ha
ve been obligated to have carnal knowledge with her husband, Joseph. Then the pr
ophesy would not have manifested.
If I had wanted to follow your comments, we would not have had a single virgin i
n this kingdom now. You complain, whoever is elected, had enough carnal knowledg
e. The question is, is the way of God known to man? God has His own way of elect
ing His people and making them worthy instruments for His glory.
What was written in the Revelation of John Chapter 14 verses 1 to 4 has started
manifesting today. The Father has gradually started the election of the 144,000
virgins that will serve with Him. It is needless for you to doubt visions, or it
invariably means you are doubting the scripture. Why are you still in doubt eve
n after claiming, you have seen God? Having seen God, what good thing have you d
one to merit your claim of being a child of God?
DO YOU NOT KNOW, GOD CAN ONLY REVEAL HIMSELF TO THE PEOPLE HE LOVES? HOW DOES HE
REVEAL HIMSELF TO PEOPLE? IT IS THROUGH THE SPIRIT. IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE IN RE
VELATION, THEN YOU CANNOT SEE GOD. So much falsehood has overtaken the world tha
t whenever you tell the people of the world the truth, they do not believe but t
hey stick to the deceit. Whenever you tell them a lie, they will regard you as a
n upright person and they will hold you in high esteem. The truth remains, you c
annot be worthy except you keep yourself holy. The plan of God cannot be reveale
d to you except you believe in visions.
IT IS NOW OR NEVER:
A child born the very year the Father started preaching about the need for virgi
ns in this kingdom has now become an adult. Nobody cares about preserving himsel
f or herself as a virgin worthy for God's purpose. Many had thought, it was impo
ssible for somebody to be a virgin. But today, as it pleases the Father, He has
started raising virgins for Himself. The Father has accorded these virgins the s
tatus of His own children who will remain sole heirs of this kingdom.
The last thing in the scheme of things towards the full manifestation of the kin
gdom of God on earth was the issue of the children of God (virgins). That having
been done, in no distant future, everything will take its rightful course as it
pleases the Father. Many had hitherto concluded, the world is filled with corru
pt people, that as far as the world is concerned none could be found to be a vir
gin. But I tell you, there are virgins even up to the number required by God, sp
read all over the surface of the world. They are waiting to be elected into the
congregation of the saints.
When you say to yourself, I cannot refrain from fornication, adultery, and other
sins, I must marry because my parents were married before I came into existence
. If you belong to this group, you will surely die of fornication. What is your
gain in committing sin? Before this period there have been several revelations a
bout the coming of virgins into this kingdom.
It was specifically said most of the virgins will be females. Whether you believ
e it or not definitely it will come to pass. Virgins are streaming into this kin
gdom from all nooks and crannies of the world. God is not a liar and His words a
re true. He had promised to provide for His services virgins, who will sit befor
e Him day and night, singing His glory as it is written:
And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred f
orty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice o
f a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beast
s, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty an
d four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These ar
e they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from am
ong men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the thr
one of God. (Revelation Chapter 14 verses 1 to 5).
Whatever you embark on not first revealed to you in Spirit is wrong and it canno
t yield any fruitful result. If someone steals your property and in a bid to rec
over it, you decide to fast without the directive of the Holy Spirit, it means y
ou are wasting your time. You cannot get it back at all. But if the Holy Spirit
directs you should fast and in accordance you comply with His directives, surely
your stolen property will be returned to you. Anything right in the sight of Go
d must first of all be revealed to you in Spirit before it manifest physically.
In other words, whatever the spirit wants you to do, He will first of all reveal
it to you in Spirit. That is why it is said:
"Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy
is he." (Proverbs Chapter 29 verse 18).
EVERY EVENT TAKES PLACE IN THE SPIRIT:
If anything is not first revealed to you either in a dream, in vision directly o
r by another person, should you go ahead to do what pleases you, you have falter
ed. Why should you leave your house on evangelical work to a particular place yo
u have specific interest in? Of necessity you have to seek the advice of the Hol
y Spirit before you can do anything. If you do anything outside the instructions
 of the Holy Spirit, you are bargaining for your self destruction. Without the c
onsent of the Holy Spirit, whatever you embark upon, no matter how long it takes
you to do, it cannot be successful. This wisdom is hidden to the vast majority
of you. This accounts for most of your failures in life.
Everything done here in Brotherhood physically was first done in the Spirit. The
election of the disciples, children of God, Students, Ordained Ones, etc. were
first done in the Spirit before being carried out physically. Be informed whatev
er does not exist in spirit is not in existence in the physical plane either. Re
ad the Second Bible Lesson again.
SECOND BIBLE LESSON: JOHN Chapter 1 verses 32 to 34
"And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a do
ve, and it abode upon him.
And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unt
o me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the
same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God."
WE ARE KNOWN IN THE SPIRIT:
You would realize, nobody is known in the flesh except in the Spirit. God is not
known in the flesh, the children of God are not known in the flesh but in the S
pirit. If the Spirit did not reveal Him to John the Baptist, John would not have
known Christ. Therefore you should note the wisdom of God in His way of doing t
hings. John was the son of Elizabeth, while Our Lord Jesus Christ was the son of
Mary, a sister to Elizabeth. This means Our Lord Jesus Christ and John were cou
sins. But in spite of the close relationship, John did not know Christ as the so
n of God until the time Christ was revealed to John as baptized Christ. If not,
John would not have accepted Christ as the son of God, being He was six months y
ounger than John himself.
Many people did not believe Christ was born, they were still expecting Him to co
me, may be from the sky. HOW CAN YOU KNOW GOD EXCEPT HE IS REVEALED TO YOU? IT I
S SHEER FOOLISHNESS FOR A PERSON TO APPROACH THE FATHER ASKING: "ARE YOU GOD, AR
E YOU JESUS?"
You would recall when Our Lord Jesus Christ asked His disciples whom the people
thought He was. They replied some thought He was Elijah, others said he was one
of the prophets. They narrated the diverse opinions held by the people about Chr
ist. Then He redirected the question to his disciples, asking them: "But whom sa
y ye that I am?" It was at this point Peter revealed His identity.
Christ then replied:
"Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto
thee, but my Father which is in heaven."
(Matthew Chapter 16 verse 17).
Before God, there is nothing as highly valued as divine revelations. WHO REVEALS
GOD APART FROM HIMSELF? Therefore revelation is an act of God. Without God reve
aling any particular thing to you, you cannot know it. Revelation and God cannot
be divorced, they are interrelated. WITHOUT GOD THERE CAN BE NO REVELATION AND
WITHOUT REVELATIONS NO ONE CAN KNOW GOD.
Most of the times great men of God are directed to do a particular thing through
vision. WHY SHOULD YOU JOKE WITH GOD, THE GIVER OF EVERYTHING AND THE DOER OF E
VERYTHING? GOD HAS USED VISION SO MUCH MANY HAVE NOT ONLY SEEN HIM, BUT ALSO HAV
E INTERACTED WITH HIM IN DISTANT PLACES.
THE PLACE OF VISIONS IN THE KINGDOM:
Note these people have not, for any day, met Him here physically. You would also
beware of a situation, in which you get to a community; you alone preach, sing
and do all you can to keep a bethel going. Sometimes you even go to the extent o
f establishing a bethel there, but surprisingly nobody comes in there to worship
with you. As it pleases the Father, one day somebody falls sick and is taken to
different hospitals and herbal homes, but to no avail. His health keeps on dete
riorating each passing day.
One day, the Father appears to one of the patient's relations in a dream and dir
ects him to take the sick person to the Bethel, that it is only there the patien
t would regain his health. Immediately he is brought there, he regains his healt
h, and the story spreads to every nook and cranny of the community. Before you k
now it the Bethel is filled to capacity with people. THIS IS NOT THE WORK OF MEN
BUT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. In this case you cannot deny the fact, vision has much
to contribute to the glory of God. Many who called themselves strong men of the
world would not have accepted baptism into Brotherhood if the Father did not per
sonally reveal Himself to them.
God in a bid to subdue the so-called great men of this world to worship Him, fir
st of all has to deal with them in spirit, cause them to repent, receive baptism
and worship Him. It would not have been possible for people to know and worship
God without the efficacy of visions. More than eighty percent of those who have
seen God are in the Spirit, but they do not really understand Him, that is why
they need you to come and tell them about the being who has revealed Himself to
them in Spirit.
A LOT MORE HAVE KNOWN HIM THROUGH THE FATHER HIMSELF, WHO OUT OF HIS LOVE AND ME
RCY, PROVIDES THEM THE WISDOM TO UNDERSTAND HIM AS A RESULT OF THE SERIES OF REV
ELATIONS THEY HAVE ABOUT HIM. It is for this reason, sometimes you go on evangel
ical work to a particular place in which you feel nobody has ever heard of the F
ather. But before you finish introducing yourself to your host, the whole family
would come out to welcome you. They would even ask you to listen to them for th
ey know much better than you do.
Therefore brethren, vision is a very vital part of this kingdom, VISION LINKS YO
U WITH GOD. ANYBODY WHO IS IN SPIRIT WILL ALWAYS HAVE A DIRECT LINK WITH GOD AT
ALL TIMES. You will recall, when the Father appointed sister Etop as the Chairpe
rson of The International Visioners Fellowship, many did not accept her for the
post. Many complained, she was not a visioner, but since the appointment was dir
ected by the Holy Spirit, her achievement since then has been very impressive. G
od has used her in such a marvelous way to His glory. Whatever she embarks on no
w is directed by God because she does nothing on her own volition. Before ever s
he was appointed, she had the appointment revealed to her. She did not regard th
e revelation as anything serious but when she was finally appointed she recalled
, it was earlier revealed to her. Her achievement is purely as a result of the i
nfluence of the Holy Spirit and His directives which she meticulously follows. Y
ou should know, whoever is not in spirit is governed by sin, but the Spirit does
not sin at all. If you are in Spirit, you will have a bright future and things
that will happen, will first be revealed to you. That is to say everything about
the future will be revealed to you before hand. For instance, the plot of land
which we now occupy as the headquarters of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star was
first revealed twenty years before we came to acquire it. No doubt, if this pla
ce was not approved for us in spirit we would not have got it. THE FATHER KNOWS
EVERYTHING AND HE HAS COMPLETE CONTROL OVER ALL PREVAILING AND PENDING SITUATION
S.
THE DEAD CONTINUE TO LIVE ON:
You have no cause to think or say, when someone is pronounced dead, he is no mor
e in existence. He has only ceased to exist in the flesh, but he continues to li
ve in the Spirit. When you hear about God being referred to as Omnipresent, you
should know, it is in the Spirit not in the flesh. THAT IS WHY YOU HEAR PEOPLE C
OMING FROM DISTANT PLACES TO CONFIRM THE IDENTITY OF THE HOLY FATHER AS ONE THEY
HAVE SEEN BEFORE IN THEIR RESPECTIVE COUNTRIES OR COMMUNITIES. BUT THIS IS THE
SAME FATHER WHOM WE CLAIM HAS NOT TRAVELLED OUT OF CALABAR FOR VERY MANY YEARS N
OW. THE AMERICANS, THE BRITISH, THE RUSSIANS AND PEOPLE OF OTHER NATIONALITIES H
AVE ALL CONFIRMED, THEY HAVE BEEN SEEING THE FATHER IN THEIR COUNTRIES. THE WHOL
E WORLD IS WITNESSING THE REIGN OF THE FATHER ON EARTH. I THEREFORE CHARGE YOU T
O GO AND TESTIFY ABOUT THIS MIGHTY WORK.
You claim you do not want somebody to give you vision, you do not believe in vis
ion. How then will you be saved? How will the secret of the kingdom and the plan
s of God about the future be revealed? I implore you to buy the publication, "I
AM THAT I AM." In it, you will read about the Holy Spirit and vision.
GOD IS SPIRIT:
THEREFORE BRETHREN, DO NOT SEEK FOR GOD IN THE FLESH ANYMORE BUT IN THE SPIRIT.
YOU CAN DO THIS BY SANCTIFYING YOURSELF AND REFRAINING FROM ALL MANNERS OF SINS.
IF YOU DO NOT SEEK GOD IN SPIRIT IN ORDER TO GUIDE YOU, WHATEVER YOU DO IS IN V
AIN. If you want to know more about this kingdom in details, meet sister Etop, f
or everything about this kingdom has been revealed to her before this time. She
believes same to be true and since then, she subjects herself to the control of
the Holy Spirit. The problem of many people in this kingdom emanates from the fa
ct, they do not believe in the Holy Spirit and as a result they behave according
to the way it pleases them. If you have no knowledge about the Holy Spirit, pra
y fervently and sanctify yourself so you may be endowed with the Holy Spirit. WH
EN YOU POSSESS THE HOLY SPIRIT, MANY THINGS ABOUT GOD WILL BE REVEALED TO YOU. T
HE ONLY SCHOOL YOU COULD ATTEND AND RECEIVE THE TEACHINGS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IS
BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR. IF YOU ARE IN THE WORLDLY UNIVERSITY, IT CANN
OT MAKE YOU KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THE INTRICACIES OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. WHOEVER IS A
SCHOLAR IN THE SCHOOL OF THE HOLY SPIRIT KNOWS GOD AND GOD IN TURN REVEALS HIMS
ELF TO SUCH A PERSON. ON EARTH BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR IS THE HIGHEST
SCHOOL OF LEARNING. Two of our sisters, sister Etop and sister Marts are good ex
amples of the students in this school. Initially they refused to embark on evang
elical work because they wanted first of all to equip themselves with the teachi
ngs of the Holy Spirit before going into the field.
John was the son of a high priest, and as it was required of people at that age,
John too was expected to get involved in the religious practices of the time; t
hey burned incense and offered burnt offerings. They knew nothing about baptism
of water. But one day God revealed to John the importance of the baptism of wate
r, and God directed him to baptize people in the way He revealed. You should rem
ember, if John had not believed in the vision, he would not have accepted to und
ertake the baptism by water.
Furthermore, if John did not accept to baptize with water, a thing that nobody s
ince creation had ever done, he would not have come across a man whom the Holy S
pirit would descend upon like a dove, and say to be the Son of God. Again, if Jo
hn did not baptize Our Lord Jesus Christ, He Christ would not have received the
Holy Spirit and without the Holy Spirit descending upon Him, He would not have s
tarted His ministry work on earth, and invariably the entire world would have be
en plunged into perpetual darkness and bondage. When you claim, Vision or prophe
cy is not important, what then would you say is important?
The work of John the Baptist was unique. He was directed by the spirit through v
ision. This accounts for why Our Lord Jesus Christ said:
"Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a
greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom
of heaven is greater than he." (Matthew Chapter 11 verse 11).
EACH PERSON HAS HIS OR HER OWN SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT TO UNDERTAKE IN HIS OR HER LIF
E TIME ON EARTH, BUT BECAUSE OF FOOLISHNESS AND DISBELIEF IN VISION, DREAM AND P
ROPHESY, YOU COMPLETELY ABANDON YOUR ASSIGNMENT. THEREFORE, YOU SHOULD START TO
BELIEVE IN DIVINE REVELATIONS ELSE YOU ARE BEING DISOBEDIENT.
YOU CANNOT DIVORCE YOUR LIFE FROM TROUBLES, AFFLICTIONS, AND MISERY, EXCEPT YOU
ARE IN SPIRIT. WHEN YOU ABIDE IN SPIRIT, EVERYTHING WILL BE REVEALED TO YOU AND
YOU WILL ALSO COMPLY WITH WHATEVER DIRECTIVE IS GIVEN.
YOU SHOULD NOT EXPECT Me TO ADDRESS YOU INDIVIDUALLY AND PHYSICALLY TOO; ABOUT W
HAT IS EXPECTED OF YOU. I HAVE CHOSEN TO SPEAK TO YOU THROUGH REVELATIONS. IF YO
U DO NOT BELIEVE IN VISIONS, IT MEANS YOU DO NOT BELIEVE IN Me AND NOT BELIEVING
IN Me MEANS YOU HAVE CHOSEN PERDITION RATHER THAN SALVATION.
Remember, if Joseph did not believe in the vision instructing him to flee with t
he infant Jesus to Egypt, the baby Jesus would have been killed alongside the ot
her innocent children who were massacred. What lessons have you learnt from that
? You are to conduct a feast, or go on an evangelical work, but because the inst
ruction is given to you through vision you dismiss it with a wave of your hand.
How do you want God to communicate with you? Sometimes you complicate issues bec
ause of your disobedience. A problem that would have been nipped in the bud is a
llowed to overtake you because you refused to obey simple instructions. Worst st
ill, you would turn around to accuse a person of being responsible for your plig
ht.
IN THIS CLOSE OF AGE, THE FATHER HAS PERSONALLY COME DOWN TO INSTRUCT YOU ON WHA
T TO DO IN ORDER TO LIVE, BUT YOU STILL HARDEN YOUR HEART. HAVE I NOT PERSONALLY
TOLD YOU, YOUR WORK IS IN THE FIELD, HAVE YOU COMPLIED? HAVE YOU NOT BEEN TOLD
NOT TO EAT MEAT AND FISH AND TO REFRAIN FROM ALL MANNERS OF SINS: FORNICATION, A
DULTERY, FIGHTING, STEALING, DISOBEDIENCE, QUARRELING, HATRED, ENVY, MURDER, LYI
NG, ETC. Have you complied? You rather prefer to sit back in your house and clai
m, the Father is the doer of everything. You even claim, in spite of your disobe
dience, the Father would still help you. If you have the need for the kingdom of
God then, you should live in peace with all and refrain from all manners of sin
. Teach others what you have been taught so far and practice same. BE SPOTLESS I
F YOU WISH TO BEAR THE NAME: A CHILD OF GOD. Read the Golden Text again.
GOLDEN TEXT: LUKE Chapter 4 verses 17 and 18
"And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he ha
d opened the book, he found the place where it was written.
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gos
pel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliveranc
e to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them
that are bruised."
THE WORK OF CHRIST CONFIRMS THE REVELATIONS ABOUT HIM:
The revelation really rekindled the Spirit of Our Lord Jesus Christ. He became a
ware, His coming was not a surprise, but it was written about Him to come. He th
erefore spared no effort preaching the gospel to the poor and healing the sick.
If Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself believed in revelations, how much more you? I h
ave no other way of telling you about things to come except through revelations
in dreams, vision, prophesies and THE GOSPEL.
IF YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE YOU CAME INTO THIS WORLD, ALL PLANS ABOUT YOUR COMING
HAD BEEN WRITTEN AND MADE AVAILABLE TO ALL THOSE WHO WILL BENEFIT FROM YOUR ASSI
GNMENT, YOU WOULD NOT HAVE BLAMED ANYBODY FOR ANYTHING AND YOU WOULD HAVE BELIEV
ED IN REVELATIONS. NOTE THAT IF YOU COME TO FULFILL WHAT WAS WRITTEN ABOUT YOU,
THEN YOU HAVE ACTUALLY REALIZED YOURSELF AND YOU HAVE GOT THE AWARENESS EXPECTED
OF YOU. BUT IF YOU FAIL TO FULFILL WHAT WAS WRITTEN ABOUT YOU, IT MEANS YOU HAV
E NOT GOT THAT AWARENESS.
The new covenant made by God to those who are His People and disciples is contai
ned in the scripture:
A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you
, that ye also love one another.
By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to anot
her. (John Chapter 13 verses 34 and 35).
The only identity of the disciples of God is LOVE. So if you do not have this un
iversal love, count yourself out of this kingdom. The word of God is embedded in
the revelations which you do not regard as anything. The things you care about
are the very things that ruin you because such things separate you from God. Exc
ept you completely forsake your son, wife, husband, father, your life, etc. you
cannot be worthy of being a disciple of Christ just as it is written:
If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and childr
en, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disci
ple. (Luke Chapter 14 verse 26).
He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that lo
veth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. (Matthew Chapter 10 verse
37).
THE WORD OF GOD IS TRUE AND GOD IS TRUTH. No matter the time or situation, the w
ord of God must come to manifest. If you do not completely refrain from sin, you
are not worthy of the kingdom. BE INFORMED THE TEACHINGS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN
NOT BE COMPARED TO ANY OTHER TEACHING. THIS IS BECAUSE IT IS NOT OF THE FLESH. H
IS TEACHINGS COULD NOT BE OBTAINED ELSEWHERE. MANY PEOPLE INCLUDING THE CHURCH D
IGNITARIES HAVE AGREED THAT WITH REGARD TO HIS TEACHINGS THERE IS NONE WHICH CAN
BE COMPARED TO HIS TEACHINGS WHICH ARE QUITE UNIQUE.
IF YOU LIVE IN SPIRIT...
Nobody can understand His teachings except one who is in the Spirit. YOU MUST BE
IN SPIRIT BEFORE YOU CAN ASSIMILATE THE TEACHINGS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. THIS TEAC
HING IS NOT PREPARED BY FLESH AND BLOOD, BUT IT FLOWS DIRECTLY FROM HE MOST HIGH
GOD. THAT IS WHY YOU ARE WARNED:
But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are
brethren. (Matthew Chapter 23 verse 8).
It is needless for you to hope in anybody for anything. Do not even look at anyb
ody for a possible example. Draw your example from the Holy Spirit in all you ne
ed to do. Do not be angry and do not take vengeance on anyone. Live peaceably wi
th all and let universal love reign supreme in all aspects of your everyday life
. What was written in the scripture has been fulfilled in your midst:
And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spi
rit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your yo
ung men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams. (Acts Chapter 2
verse 17).
Have you not seen the fulfillment of this prophecy, or are you not one of the re
cipients of the Holy Spirit? Therefore, no rational minded person should hencefo
rth do anything as he or she likes, but as is directed by the Spirit.
DO YOU NOT KNOW THE FATHER'S SERMONS CONSTITUTE DREAMS, PROPHECIES AND THE WORD
OF GOD? WHENEVER HE PREACHES, THE SERMONS ALSO CONTAIN CONDEMNATION, JUSTIFICATI
ON AND SALVATION. YOU ARE RISKING YOUR LIFE BY NOT ADHERING TO HIS TEACHINGS. YO
U HAVE BEEN ADVISED NOT TO FORNICATE, EAT MEAT OR FISH, NOT TO LIE, MURDER, HATE
, BEGRUDGE, FIGHT, CAUSE DIVISION, WORSHIP IDOLS ETC. BUT YOU DO NOT LISTEN, NEI
THER DO YOU ADHERE TO THE INSTRUCTIONS YOU ARE GIVEN. WHAT I AM TEACHING YOU ARE
DREAMS, VISIONS AND PROPHECIES AND EXCEPT YOU KEEP THEM, YOU WILL HAVE TO BEAR
THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR DISOBEDIENCE. GOD IS A SPIRIT THEREFORE IF YOU DO NOT K
EEP TO HIS REVELATIONS IT MEANS YOU ARE DISOBEYING HIM AND IF YOU DISOBEY GOD, Y
OU HAVE PERISHED. THE CHILDREN OF GOD ARE WITHOUT BLEMISH AND FOR YOU TO BE WITH
OUT BLEMISH YOU HAVE TO REFRAIN COMPLETELY FROM ALL MANNERS OF SIN. YOU SHOULD N
OT FIGHT, QUARREL, NEITHER SHOULD YOU GET ANGRY. YOU HAVE TO PRACTICE UNIVERSAL
LOVE FOR THAT IS WHAT IS WRITTEN ABOUT YOU, AS A CHILD OF GOD.
MAY THE FATHER BLESS HIS HOLY WORDS. AMEN.
THANK YOU FATHER.
