expects of you.

 The lyrics of the first song rendered has
it JOY ALONE ABOUNDS BEFORE
it that
THE THRONE OF THE LAMB."
Therefore this joy is what is being demanded
of you, and not money, motor car, clothing,
knowledge, English language, or vision but
endless joy.
Do you think that the kingdom o/God
is money? Somebody could be a millionaire, or
an owner of fleets of cars everywhere, but he
has no joy in his heart. When the Pharisees and
the Sadducees sent a delegation to Our Lord
Jesus Christ to find out what would constitute
the signs of His second coming Our Lord Jesus
Christ answered and said unto them, "Take
heed that no one deceives you by saying that
the kingdom of God is here or there tor the
kingdom is within you always,(Luke 17:20-
21 ). You have heard what is stated in the
scriptures that, "Thou hast a few names even in
Sardis which have not defiled their garments,
and they shall walk with me in white for they
are worthy."{Revelation 3:4)
A FEW HAVE NOT DEFILED THEMSELVES:
Brethren, you have a few names, who have
not defiled themselves. \\lho are these names?
i\nd how do they look like? Are these names
standing or are they lying down? Nobody
knows whether the names are dancing or
walking.
THE ISSUE IS AN EYE OPENER
FOR US SO THAT NONE SHOULD
DEMAND TO SEE GOD WITH HIS NAKED
EYES. HENCE IT IS RATHER Ul-rTRUE FOR
SOMEBODY TO TELL YOU THAT HE HAS
SEEN GOD FACE TO FACE, FOR SUCH A
PERSON IS DECEITFUL. In may ask, where
have you seen God?
I want to compare earthly things with
heavenly things so that you will be conscious of
God's coming. Because most people have done
everything possible to witness this event. They
have built houses in preparation for HIS
COMING but I am telling you that till
doomsday, He will not corne in the way people
expect. I have the sincere belief that if God
endows you with wealth, you will be
appreciative and thankful to Him. I want to warn
that such thoughts and belief should cease.
These things have become a problem to
so many people in Brotherhood, hence they
cannot testify about the good works of God. If
God does something for them, they will not
testify, and they claim that unless their long time
request has been fulfilled they will remain silent
and not testify. They claim that the day they will
testify, the place will be filled with people like
the market square. Incidentally God has granted
your desire yet you refuse to testify.

 All this while you have tried to refrain from evil
acts, have you succeeded? Some 'Of you have been
here for twenty years, others for twenty-fIVe, and yet
others for thirty years, and the Words of God are
being preached to' you, yet they have no effect on
you. You are desirious to forsake sin but because of
your family background you have been incapacitated
to do so.
But since the Father knows the intricacies invol­
ved, He maintains that as many as receive Him, are
given the right to becOme the children of Gbd. You
'are being gathered into this Kin~dom by grace. There
·is no other .thing to be done because if you are re­
quited to forsake sin as a condition of entry, when
will you fulfill such a condition?
It is said that as by' the disobedience of one man
'sin came into the world, so by the righteousness of
one person salvation is given to a great many people
who are unrighteous. T.herefore, we are saved through
the righteousness of the Son of God. That is why it is
good to serve GOd.
For one 'person to render·services .unto God, God
uses that to work salvation to an the inhabitants of
the world. This salvation extendsfrorn.generation to
generation~and showers" peace and allgopd thlngs to
us.
. .Our Lord Jesus Christ said} "And for their sakes I
sanetify myself, that· they also might be sanctified
through the truth." Therefore, can you notrea1ise
how the wisdom of God has eluded men in the entire
world?
Now, somebody will stand somewhere profess.ing
to be Jesus. Another stays at a different place to
declare that he is the Christ. Yet another person will
p"ocmim somewhere that he is God. Do they compre­
hend the jntricacies of what they are professing?

 Our duty is to settIe our disputes.
Here we are not judging one an­
other. Our duty is to settle our disputes,
celebrate feast and pray over one an­
other so that the spirit of peace may
dwell mus. Whenever you want to settle
old scores, you are not to recall the past
incidents, but only call the parties
concerned, ask them to confess their
sins. After that, you pray for them and
celebrate love feast. And that marks the
end of everything. At any moment you
recall the cause of the dispute, that
means you are judging them. When your
brother realises his. mistake and .pleads
for forgiveness, it is your duty to
forgi ve him. And once this is done
everything is well.
Whenever your brother sins against
you, settle with him immediately. Do
not bear malice or quarrel with him.
Any timo your brother realises his short
comings and asks for forgiveness, you
should forgive him. Even if he went
away with your things withoUt your
knowledge and immediately pleaded for
forgiveness, you are to forgive him. This·
does not cost you anything. As a child
of God, you are not to begrudge one
another. You are not subjected to ha­
tred. B~ LEADER OLUMIIA OLUMIIA OIlU
