HO EVERY ONE THAT THIRSTETH COME YE TO THE

WATERS (ISAIAH 55:1)
The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come
hither to draw." (John Chapter 4:10 -15). What is that fountain of water? It is the
Word of God.

JEREMIAH 23:24-32

24: Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD.
Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD.
25: I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I
have dreamed, I have dreamed.
26: How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they
are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;
27: Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they
tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal.

28: The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word,
let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD.
29: Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh
the rock in pieces?
30: Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that steal my
words every one from his neighbour.
31: Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that use their tongues, and
say, He saith.
32: Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, and do
tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent
them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all,
saith the LORD.

ROMANS 10:13-17

13: For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

14: How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed?
and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and
how shall they hear without a preacher?

15: And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written,
How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace,
and bring glad tidings of good things!

16: But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord,
who hath believed our report?

17: So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

FAITH: THE KEY OF LIFE.

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: JOHN CHAPTER 6 VERSE 63

"It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words
that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life."

GOLDEN TEXT: JOHN CHAPTER 1 VERSE 14

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

Brethren, it is very pathetic that the inhabitants of the world do not

understand the importance of the Word of God. The Centurion
mentioned in the above Bible portion was a soldier. As was common
with his associates, he was regarded as ignorant about God. More so,
he was not one of the disciples of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Nevertheless
he had faith in God.

It is an indication, the Father can pass through a tree, a stone, an

animal, an insane person or a native doctor to reveal Himself. The
songs rendered and the prayers offered are all the words of God. The
Word of God is all-achieving.

It takes away your problems, heals your sickness, discharges you from
prison; gives you food, children, husband and wife. It also makes the
blind to see, the lame to walk, the deaf to hear and the dead to
resurrect. The Word of God has the power to solve all your infirmities.
The inhabitants of the world should be grateful to God, for the
emergence of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. In Brotherhood, the
word has been made flesh and it dwells amongst us. This word is
money, food, clothing, life and power.

Our Lord Jesus Christ said, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth
shall make you free." (John Chapter 8 verse 32). When the Centurion
told Our Lord Jesus Christ about his servant's illness, Christ told him,
'I will come and heal him.' The Centurion answered saying, "Lord, I am
not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the
word only, and my servant shall be healed." (Matthew Chapter 8 verse
8).

How did the Centurion come to this understanding? The second lesson
says: "It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the
words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life." (John
Chapter 6 verse 63). Food does not give you good health, clothing
profits you nothing; money, house or man does not give you anything.
It is the Word of God that bestows all things unto you.

If you had really looked for this true wisdom, brethren, you would not
have allowed one minute or one day to elude you, because these
words I speak to you are spirits, and they are the life eternal you are
looking for.

ALL DREAMS AND VISIONS ARE GOOD AS WELL AS FAITH, BUT THE
GREATEST OF THEM ALL IS FOR YOU TO COME HERE AND LISTEN TO
THE GOSPELS FROM THE HORSE'S MOUTH UNADULTERATED.

DO NOT JOKE WITH THE WORD OF GOD. LET YOUR MOTIVE IN

BROTHERHOOD BE TO ASSIMILATE AND PRACTISE THE WORD OF
GOD. THE WORD OF THE FATHER HAS ALL ACHIEVING POWERS.
MERELY LISTENING TO THE WORDS CAN SOLVE YOUR NUMEROUS
PROBLEMS.

I SYMPATHIZE WITH THOSE MEMBERS WHO DO NOT UNDERSTAND

THE OPERATIVE STRATEGIES IN BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND
STAR. THEY CAN BE LIKENED TO THE HUNTER WHO CARRIES THE
CARCASS OF AN ELEPHANT ON HIS HEAD, BUT WITH HIS FEET,
FIDDLES FOR SNAILS. WHAT CAN THE WORD OF GOD NOT DO FOR
YOU? IF YOU QUIT BROTHERHOOD, WHERE ELSE WILL YOU GO TO?
WHEN YOU STAY PUT, WHAT IS YOUR MISSION, IF YOU FAIL TO
RECEIVE THE WORDS OF GOD?

Brethren, let us learn a lesson from the Centurion. He showed

tremendous faith in God. There is nothing the Word of God cannot
bestow unto you. If you lack life, good health, clothing, food and
shelter, the Word of God is capable of endowing you with all of
them and more. If we were to know the efficacy of the word, this
hall would have been filled to capacity.

MANY PEOPLE ARE SAYING, THE FATHER CAN NO LONGER BE

VISITED FOR PRAYERS AND BLESSINGS. I ASK YOU, WHAT IS THIS
WORD? THE GOLDEN TEXT SAYS, "THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, AND
DWELT AMONG US..." (JOHN CHAPTER 1 VERSE 14). DO YOU NOT
KNOW, THE WORD IS THE FATHER, THE SON AND HOLY SPIRIT? THE
WORD ALSO IS LOVE, PROSPERITY AND ALL THE GOOD THINGS. IF
YOU SAY, ONE CAN NO LONGER SEE THE FATHER, WHAT ABOUT THE
WORDS YOU HEAR? IT MEANS THEREFORE, YOU ARE A PHILIP WHO
REQUESTED, OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST SHOULD SHOW THEM THE
FATHER, SO THEY WOULD BE SATISFIED. OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
SAID UNTO HIM, "HAVE I BEEN SO LONG TIME WITH YOU, AND YET
HAST THOU NOT KNOWN ME, PHILIP? HE THAT HATH SEEN ME HATH
SEEN THE FATHER; AND HOW SAYEST THOU THEN, SHEW US THE
FATHER? BELIEVEST THOU NOT THAT I AM IN THE FATHER, AND THE
FATHER IN ME? THE WORDS THAT I SPEAK UNTO YOU I SPEAK NOT
OF MYSELF: BUT THE FATHER THAT DWELLETH IN ME, HE DOETH
THE WORKS. BELIEVE ME THAT I AM IN THE FATHER, AND THE
FATHER IN ME: OR ELSE BELIEVE ME FOR THE VERY WORKS' SAKE."
(John Chapter 14 verses 8 to 11).

IT IS NOT AN EASY THING TO KNOW GOD. THE CENTURION KNEW

THE EFFICACY OF GOD'S WORD. HE KNEW, THE WORD CAN MAKE
THE BLIND TO SEE, THE LAME TO WALK, THE DEAF TO HEAR. HE
UNDERSTOOD, THE WORD IS OMNIPOTENT, OMNIPRESENT AND
OMNISCIENT. BUT IN YOUR OWN CASE, YOU WORSHIP THE HOLY OIL;
YOU WANT THE HOLY FATHER TO PRAY FOR YOU, AND TOUCH YOU
AND YOU WANT TO CONVERSE WITH HIM. IF ALL OF US WERE TO
HAVE THIS FAITH, WE WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEMS. IF YOU WERE TO
BELIEVE IT IS THE WORD THAT HEALS, AND DOES OTHER THINGS,
YOU WOULD NOT LAMENT AND WOULD NOT GET TIRED OF
LISTENING TO IT.

WHY DOES THE FATHER EMPHASIZE THE GOSPEL OF LOVE? ALSO, IN

BROTHERHOOD, THERE ARE NO CEREMONIES, NO INCANTATIONS,
INVOCATIONS OR SINISTER PRACTISES. ONLY THE WORD OF GOD IS
PREACHED. THIS IS SO BECAUSE THE WORD IS THE FATHER, THE
SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. THE WORD IS LOVE, TRUTH AND GOD
WHO DWELLS IN OUR MIDST. THE WORD IS THE SAVIOR ON EARTH,
THE LIGHT, AND THE ONE WHO HAS COME TO CHANGE US, AND
CAST AWAY ALL OF OUR PROBLEMS. THEREFORE, WE SHOULD HAVE
THE SAME FAITH, AND BELIEVE THE WORD HAS BECOME FLESH AND
DWELLS WITH US. IF YOU BELIEVE IN THE WORD, ALL YOUR
AFFLICTIONS ARE OVER.

YOU WILL HAVE NO NEED FOR THE HOLY OIL, VISION, PRAYER; AND
YOU WILL CEASE TO LAMENT. WHAT CAN HOLY OIL OR WATER, OR
MAN OR SCIENCE DO FOR YOU? IT IS THE WORD OF GOD, YOU
SHOULD CLING TO. IF SOMEBODY IS RESIDING IN AMERICA, INDIA OR
GERMANY, IT IS POSSIBLE TO SEND WORDS TO REVOKE ALL
UNPLEASANT EVENTUALITIES (PSALM 107:20); THIS WORD IS GOD.
CONSEQUENTLY, IT IS AN ACT OF FOOLISHNESS TO QUESTION THE
POSSIBILITY OF SEEING SOMEBODY WHO STATIONS IN CALABAR, IN
AMERICA AND OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD. THE CENTURION
BELIEVED IN THE EFFICACY OF THE WORD AND THAT WAS WHY HE
TOLD JESUS CHRIST, HE WAS NOT WORTHY TO HAVE HIM GO UNDER
HIS ROOF, BUT THAT THE LORD SHOULD SPEAK THE WORD AND HIS
SERVANT WILL BE HEALED.
NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO UNTO THE LORD, EXCEPT YOU BELIEVE
IN HIM, YOU CANNOT SEE THE PROMISED KINGDOM. THE WORD IS
CHRIST, SPIRIT AND GOD. IF, THEREFORE YOU BELIEVE IN THE
WORD, YOU SHALL HAVE SALVATION. IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE IN
HIM, WHATEVER YOUR NUMBER OF YEARS HERE, YOU STAND TO
PROFIT NOTHING. Read the first lesson.

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."
BRETHREN, CAN YOU NOW REALIZE WHAT IS THE TRUTH?
WHOSOEVER BELIEVES IN THE WORD OF GOD, BELIEVES IN GOD.
DRAW A LESSON ALWAYS FROM THE CENTURION. HE HAD FAITH.
FAITH IS BEING SURE OF WHAT WE HOPE FOR AND CERTAIN OF
WHAT WE DO NOT SEE. (HEBREWS CHAPTER 11 VERSE 1). IT IS LIKE
THE WORD OF GOD. IF YOU BELIEVE IN THE MAN YOU SEE, THEN
YOU HAVE NO FAITH. IF YOU BELIEVE IN WATER, OR HOLY OIL, OR
THE TREE, YOU SEE, YOU HAVE NO FAITH.

LET THE WORDS OF GOD BE THE PRIMARY THING THAT ATTRACTS

YOU INTO BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR SO, YOU WILL
BENEFIT MORE. NO MATTER THE WEIGHT OF YOUR BURDEN OF SINS,
THE WORD OF GOD CAN RELIEVE YOU. YOUR SICKNESS AND
TROUBLE VANISHES AWAY, ONCE YOU LISTEN TO THESE WORDS
AND PRACTICE SAME. DO NOT SEEK AFTER THE LAYING OF HANDS
ON YOUR HEAD, HOLY BATH, MONEY OR HOLY OIL. SINCERELY,
PRACTICE THE WORD OF GOD. WHEN YOU LISTEN TO THE WORD,
BELIEVE IN IT AND PUT IT INTO PRACTICE.

IT IS THE WORD OF GOD THAT CHANGES YOU, GIVES YOU LIFE, AND
DOES EVERYTHING FOR YOU. ALWAYS LISTEN TO THE WORD OF
GOD, WHETHER OVER THE RADIO OR ON TELEVISION, AND IF YOU
BELIEVE, ALL YOUR PROBLEMS ARE SOLVED. IF YOU READ THE
PAMPHLETS PUBLISHED HERE IN BROTHERHOOD, YOUR
AFFLICTIONS WILL BE OVER.

A local adage says, "at the direction a weeping child points, if the
father is not there, the mother will be there." WHY I PREACH WITHOUT
CEASING IS BECAUSE, I HAVE REALIZED THIS ACT AS THE ONLY
SOURCE OF SALVATION. THE WORD IS THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT HAS
COME TO SAVE THE WORLD FROM INIQUITIES. I KNOW, YOU ARE
HEAVY LADEN. I KNOW, YOU DESIRE SALVATION AND, YOU DESIRE
TO FOLLOW GOD. THAT IS WHY, I CONTINUE TO FEED YOU WITH THE
WORDS OF GOD. YOU ARE CALLED IN BY THE WORD AND IT IS THE
WORD THAT CHANGES YOU AND GIVES YOU LIFE, PEACE AND
PROSPERITY.

OTHER THAN THE WORD OF GOD, NOTHING CAN SAVE MAN FROM
DAMNATION. APART FROM THE WORD OF GOD, NO OTHER THINGS
CAN GIVE LIFE, THE HOLY SPIRIT OR POWER. THAT IS WHY, I DO NOT
RELENT IN FEEDING YOU WITH THE WORDS OF GOD IN THE
MORNING, AFTERNOON AND NIGHT. IT IS SAID: "EXCEPT THE TREE
FALLS, THE AXE WILL NEVER REST." IF YOU USE AN AXE TO HEW
DOWN A TREE BUT CANNOT CUT IT, IS IT THE HATCHET THAT WILL
CUT IT? IF YOU CANNOT FALL A TREE WITH AN AXE, IS IT WHEN YOU
FOLD YOUR ARMS AND LOOK AT THE TREE THAT IT WILL FALL?

The peace, you are looking for, the mercy, you lack, the joy you seek
after, the good health, you long to have, it is the word that can afford
you all these things. Your childlessness, poverty and all your heart's
desires can only be fulfilled by the Word of God. We should the more
practice the Word of God throughout our life time.

LET US BELIEVE AND HAVE HOPE IN THE WORD OF GOD. LET US PUT
THE WORD INTO PRACTICE, AND WE SHALL BE SAVED. WHAT MAN
CANNOT DO, THE WORD OF GOD IS CAPABLE OF DOING. WHAT
MONEY CANNOT DO THE WORD OF GOD CAN DO. THEREFORE, WE
SHOULD NOT TOY WITH THE WORD OF GOD AND DO NOT RELENT IN
READING THE BIBLE. THERE IS NOTHING LEFT OR RIGHT CAPABLE
OF SAVING MAN OTHER THAN THE WORD OF GOD.

Despite the fact, you lust after money, enjoyment, house, car and
other material things, you do not even believe, these things can be
achieved by believing in the word. The word is food, water, cloth,
shelter, life, good health, peace and all things. The Word of God
conquers all things. If you were to believe in the word, you would not
come here every day. The Centurion said to Christ, just speak the
word, and my servant will be healed. He did not request Christ to pray
or do any other thing but to speak the word.

YOU COME HERE EVERY DAY BECAUSE YOU ARE FULL OF

COMPLAINTS OF LACK OF MONEY, FOOD, SHELTER, GOOD HEALTH,
PEACE AND SO ON. THESE COMPLAINTS ARE BORNE OUT OF YOUR
UNBELIEF. THAT WOMAN TOLD OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, "BLESSED
IS THE WOMB THAT BARE THEE, AND THE PAPS WHICH THOU HAST
SUCKED." WHAT DID OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST ANSWER HER? HE
SAID, "YEA RATHER, BLESSED ARE THEY THAT HEAR THE WORD OF
GOD, AND KEEP IT." (LUKE CHAPTER 11 VERSES 27 AND 28).

IT IS NOW EVIDENT, WE HAVE NO OTHER FRIEND, FATHER OR

MOTHER THAN THE WORD OF GOD. SEEK FOR THE WORD OF GOD AT
ALL TIMES. THE BIBLE SAYS, "AS THE HART PANTETH AFTER THE
WATER BROOKS, SO PANTETH MY SOUL AFTER THEE, O GOD." (Psalm
Chapter 42 verse 1).

Our Lord Jesus Christ compared the efficacy of the word to the
mustard seed. The mustard seed is about the tiniest of all seeds but
when it grows, it becomes so large and shelters the birds, and
animals. (Matthew Chapter 13 verse 32). When the word is preached, it
does not appear to be significant, but in the end, it becomes the living
water and shelter unto mankind.

IF YOU GO TO SOMEBODY'S HOUSE AND HE DOES NOT OFFER YOU

THE WORD OF GOD, LEAVE SUCH A HOUSE. IF YOU ENTER INTO A
CHURCH AND FIND THEM DRUMMING AND CLAPPING AND THEY
OFFER YOU SOMETHING TO DRINK WITHOUT THE WORD OF GOD,
LEAVE SUCH A CHURCH. GOD IS NOT IN SUCH A PLACE. IF YOU MEET
SOMEBODY ON THE ROAD AND HE OFFERS YOU MONEY OR ANY GIFT
OTHER THAN THE WORD OF GOD, DO NOT REGARD THE GESTURE AS
WORTH ANYTHING.

THE WORD OF GOD IS LIFE, TRUTH AND THE ONLY WAY. THAT IS
WHY, I WILL NOT RELENT IN PREACHING THE WORD OF GOD TO YOU.
A LOCAL ADAGE HAS IT, "SIX DAYS BELONG TO THE THIEF, BUT THE
SEVENTH DAY BELONGS TO THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY." EACH
PERSON HAS THEIR OWN DAY WHEN THEY SHALL HEARKEN TO THE
VOICE AND BE SAVED. THOSE WHO ARE MEANT TO RECEIVE THIS
GOSPEL HAVE RECEIVED IT AND ARE SAVED. THOSE WHO ARE
MEANT TO HAVE SALVATION TOMORROW OR THE NEXT, SHALL HEAR
THE GOSPEL OF THAT DAY, REPENT AND BE SAVED.

SECOND BIBLE LESSON: JOHN CHAPTER 6 VERSE 63

"It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words
that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life."

Can you now realize the appropriateness of the words spoken by the
Centurion when he said, "I am not worthy to have thee come under my
roof; but speak the word and my servant will be healed."

WHEN CHRIST ASKED HIS DISCIPLES WHO PEOPLE SAID HE WAS,

THEY TOLD HIM, "SOME SAY THAT THOU ART JOHN THE BAPTIST:
SOME, ELIAS; AND OTHERS, JEREMIAS, OR ONE OF THE PROPHETS.
HE SAITH UNTO THEM, BUT WHOM SAY YE THAT I AM? AND SIMON
PETER ANSWERED AND SAID, THOU ART THE CHRIST, THE SON OF
THE LIVING GOD. AND JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO HIM,
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 VERSES 14 TO 17).

THE SAME THING APPLIED TO THE CENTURION; IT WAS NOT FLESH

AND BLOOD THAT REVEALED THE POWER UNTO HIM, IT WAS THE
FATHER WHO IS IN HEAVEN THAT DWELT IN HIM. THAT IS WHY,
CHRIST SAID, IF THE FATHER DOES NOT REVEAL THE SON UNTO
YOU, YOU CANNOT KNOW HIM. "NO MAN KNOWETH THE SON, BUT
THE FATHER; NEITHER KNOWETH ANY MAN THE FATHER, SAVE THE
SON, AND HE TO WHOMSOEVER THE SON WILL REVEAL HIM."
(MATTHEW CHAPTER 11 VERSE 27).

THE FATHER IS DOING HIS WORK EVERY DAY, YET THE WORLD
CONTINUES TO DOUBT HIM. THE WORD ALSO IS WORKING WONDERS
DAILY, BUT THE WORLD CONTINUES TO DOUBT THE WORD. THE
HOLY SPIRIT IS WORKING EVERY DAY, BUT THE WORLD DOUBTS
HIM. IT IS THE SPIRIT THAT GIVES LIFE; THE FLESH PROFITS
NOTHING. THE WORDS I SPEAK TO YOU, THEY ARE LIFE AND SPIRIT.
YOU DESIRE FOR SPIRIT AND LIFE, AND THESE ARE THE THINGS I
HAVE BROUGHT TO YOU IN THE WORLD. WHOSOEVER HAD NO LIFE,
NO SPIRIT, NO GOOD HEALTH AND NO RELATIONS TO TURN TO HAS
THEM NOW.

Therefore Brethren, from this moment, all our hope, belief, faith and
love should center on the Word. When Christ revealed Himself to the
eleven disciples, Thomas was not there. But when He came back and
the disciples told Him, they had seen the Lord, he disputed and
believed them not; arguing, he would only believe after putting his
finger through the nail prints. After eight days, when they were
gathered, Christ called Thomas to draw closer and thrust his fingers
as desired. And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my
God. Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou
hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have
believed. (John Chapter 20 verses 28 and 29).

WHO IS THE ONE WHO DOES NOT SEE BUT BELIEVES? HE IS THE
PERSON WHO HOLDS UNTO THE WORD OF GOD. HOW DO YOU
ACQUIRE FAITH? YOU ACQUIRE FAITH BY LISTENING TO THE WORD
OF GOD AND PRACTISING IT. ALSO, YOU ACQUIRE LOVE WHEN YOU
COMPLY WITH THE WORD OF GOD. YOU HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT BY
BELIEVING IN THE WORD OF GOD. YOU HAVE POWER BY BELIEVING
IN THE WORD OF GOD. FAITH IS DERIVABLE FROM HEARING THE
WORD OF GOD AND PUTTING IT INTO PRACTICE. IT IS THE SPIRIT
THAT QUICKENETH, THE FLESH PROFITETH NOTHING. THE WORDS
THAT I SPEAK UNTO YOU, THEY ARE SPIRIT, AND THEY ARE LIFE.
THE WORD IS TRUTH, WISDOM, POWER, GIVES YOU PEACE,
CHILDREN, MONEY, BLOOD AND STRENGTHENS YOUR BONES AND
MUSCLES. IT IS THE WORD THAT HEALS AND CHANGES YOU. THE
WORD MAKES THE POOR TO BE RICH AND FULFILLS YOUR HEART'S
DESIRES; BOTH PHYSICALLY AND SPIRITUALLY. THAT IS WHY, OUR
LORD JESUS CHRIST SAID: "I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE
LIFE." (JOHN CHAPTER 14 VERSE 6). IF YOU CONTINUE TO GAZE AT
THE SKY EXPECTING ANY OTHER SAVIOR TO DESCEND FROM THERE,
YOU ARE MERELY WASTING YOUR TIME AND ENERGY. THE ONLY
SAVIOR IS THE WORD OF GOD, WHICH IS GOD, CHRIST AND THE
HOLY SPIRIT. THIS IS THE ONLY SOURCE OF SALVATION.

THE SOURCE OF YOUR PROBLEMS IS UNBELIEF. YOU DO NOT

BELIEVE IN THE WORD OF GOD, AND AS SUCH, DO NOT BELIEVE IN
GOD. THOSE WHO LISTEN TO THE WORD OF GOD AND BELIEVE, HAVE
FAITH AND SALVATION. EVEN NON-MEMBERS HAVE IMBIBED THE
FATHER'S TEACHINGS AND HAVE BEEN TRANSFORMED. THEY
LISTEN TO THE FATHER'S TEACHINGS AT DIFFERENT PLACES AND
HAVE THEIR PROBLEMS SOLVED. YOU CLAIM TO BE MEMBERS OF
BROTHERHOOD FOR DONKEY YEARS, YET YOUR PROBLEMS CANNOT
BE SOLVED. OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST SPOKE TO THE SAMARITAN
WOMAN, WHEN HE REQUESTED FOR SOME WATER. The woman
answered Him saying: "How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink
of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings
with the Samaritans. Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou
knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to
drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee
living water. The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw
with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living
water? Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well,
and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? Jesus
answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall
thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him
shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a
well of water springing up into everlasting life. The woman saith unto
him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to
draw." (John Chapter 4 verses 10 to 15). What is that fountain of
water? It is the Word of God.

Meanwhile, when the disciples of Our Lord Jesus Christ demanded him
to eat with them, He answered and said: "I HAVE MEAT TO EAT THAT
YE KNOW NOT OF... ...MY MEAT IS TO DO THE WILL OF HIM THAT
SENT ME, AND TO FINISH HIS WORK." (John Chapter 4 verses 32 and
34). THE WORD OF GOD IS FOOD, CLOTHING, SHELTER AND
EVERYTHING. IF YOU HAVE THE WORD OF GOD, YOU STAND TO
CONQUER THE WORLD.
Our Lord Jesus Christ commissioned His disciples saying: "Go ye
therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to
observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am
with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen." (Matthew
Chapter 28 verses 19 and 20).
HE IS THE ONE WHO SENDS YOU ON AN ERRAND, AND ALSO
ACCOMPANIES YOU TO ACCOMPLISH IT. THEREFORE, HE IS THE
WORD. HIS WORDS ARE YOUR SALVATION. THEY ARE EVERYTHING
UNTO EVERY MAN. IT IS THE WORD OF GOD THAT GUIDES YOU. IT IS
THE WORD THAT STAYS IN FRONT OF AND BEHIND YOU. MOST
PEOPLE BLASPHEME AGAINST BROTHERHOOD BECAUSE THEY DO
NOT UNDERSTAND IT. HOWEVER, THEY BELIEVE, BROTHERHOOD
CAN HELP PEOPLE SOLVE THEIR PROBLEMS. WHAT IS IT THAT
SOLVES PEOPLE'S PROBLEMS IN BROTHERHOOD? IT IS THE WORD OF
GOD.

A BLIND MAN CANNOT LEAD ANOTHER BLIND MAN. IF YOU WERE TO

KNOW WHAT BROTHERHOOD IS, YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO EXPLAIN IT
TO THE OUTSIDERS. DID YOU KNOW, THE WORD IS GOD? THE WORD,
YOU HEAR BECOMES FLESH AND DWELLS WITH YOU, AND DINES
WITH YOU.

When you tell people, there is nothing in Brotherhood, it means, you do

not know Brotherhood. You came into Brotherhood with diverse
problems and had them all solved by mere saying "let!" If, therefore,
you say, there is nothing in Brotherhood, how do these things happen?
When you come in here with a worldly person and try to show him the
Father, he will look around everywhere and tell you he has not seen
the Father. He will ask you why he cannot see the Father. Every
person wants to know what is here in Brotherhood. Unfortunately, you
do not know what is in Brotherhood; and so cannot explain anything
about Brotherhood to any person.

IN BROTHERHOOD, IT IS THE WORD THAT BECOMES FLESH AND

ABIDES WITH MAN. THE WORD DOES ALL THINGS AND IS IN CHRIST,
GOD, ANGELS, LIFE, GOOD HEALTH AND EVERYTHING. ANY TIME
YOU LISTEN TO THE WORD OF GOD, BELIEVE FERVENTLY IT IS THE
VOICE OF GOD. SPREAD THIS GOOD NEWS TO THE WORLD THAT GOD
IS DWELLING WITH MAN. WHEN YOU ARE ON MINISTRY WORK, DO
NOT ASK FOR HOLY OIL, VISION OR SPECIAL PRAYER, BUT LISTEN
TO THE WORD BECAUSE IT IS SUFFICIENT UNTO EVERY ONE.
WHOSOEVER YOU COME IN CONTACT WITH, DO NOT DISCUSS ANY
OTHER THINGS WITH HIM OR HER EXCEPT THE WORDS OF GOD.
ENLIGHTEN THE WORLD, THE WORD HAS BECOME FLESH AND
DWELLS WITH MAN. IT IS THE WORD ALONE THAT IS CAPABLE OF
BRINGING THINGS INTO EXISTENCE AND VICE VERSA.

Golden Text: John Chapter 1 verse 14

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

Brethren, you are witnesses to the fact, when I say to somebody: "Go
your problems are solved,' 'your sickness is gone,' your infirmity is
healed,' 'you are blessed with a husband or wife, children, money and
so on;" these spoken words readily come to fulfillment. It is the word
that does the work here. When you are told to kneel down, the Father
has come; if you kneel down, you will see the Father. When it is
pronounced; 'go, your court case is ruled in your favor', 'you have been
discharged and acquitted;' these words will readily manifest. Why then
do you toy with the Word of God?

WHY IS IT, THE WORD IS IN YOUR MIDST, BUT YOU FAIL TO

RECOGNIZE IT? WHY DO YOU SEEK THE LIVING AMONGST THE
DEAD? WHY SEEK YE THE TRUTH WHERE THERE IS NONE? THE
WORD BECOMES FLESH AND ABIDES WITH MAN AND WE BEHOLD HIS
GLORY. THEREFORE, THE WORDS I SPEAK UNTO YOU BECOME MAN.
THEY HEAL, RAISE THE DEAD, GIVE US PEACE AND JOY. THEY ARE
FOOD, CLOTHING, SHELTER AND ANYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF.
WHATEVER IS YOUR AFFLICTION OR LACK, THE WORD OF GOD IS
SUFFICIENT UNTO YOU. NO MATTER HOW HEAVILY LADEN, HOW
SAD, HOW SINFUL OR IGNORANT, THE WORD OF GOD IS CAPABLE OF
RECTIFYING THE SITUATION. THAT IS WHY, WHEN YOU PRAY, YOU
HAVE ALL THE WORDS YOU SPEAK FULFILLED. THE WORDS YOU
SING IN A SONG ALSO COME TO PASS. THAT IS WHY, WHEN ANY
PERSON WHO IS AFFLICTED COMES TO YOU FOR PRAYERS,
WHATEVER YOU MENTION IN YOUR PRAYERS OR SONGS WILL NOT
FAIL TO MANIFEST.

On this note therefore, you are commanded not to allow evil

communication to proceed out of your mouth. The scripture says:
"That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account
thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified,
and by thy words thou shalt be condemned." (Matthew Chapter 12
verses 36 and 37). The moment you start to plot, think or speak evil,
you are covered with darkness. When you speak the Word of God, you
will not fail to see the Children of God. All good things and God will
appear before you.

Therefore, the light we have today is derived from the word. The spirit
we have today, is given to us by the word. The life we live is given to
us by the word. The God present in our midst is the Word. The joy and
truth that manifest in our midst is the word. Therefore, we should
believe in the word, have faith in Him, love Him and surrender
ourselves completely unto Him. All the time and wherever we may be,
we should not relent in listening to the Word of God. What the Word of
God cannot do, no other person can do. There is nothing the Word
cannot do, provided you believe in the Word.

May God bless His Holy Word. Amen.

THANK YOU HOLY FATHER.
