The Sole
Head of Brothir.hoQd
of the Cross and Star,
T,-e'ader, O. o. Obu has
said' that 'those wh 0
know that vengeance
belongs, to God do
no t bo ther thern:selves
on taking retaliatory
actions against those
that wrong them.
Speaking in an early
morning Altar brief
recently to members
of the fold at 34
Ambo Headquarters of
the organisation Lea I
der Ob..... described as
naive the belief by
man)' people that this
man Or that killed
their parents or rela
tions,
Th e Lord of Heaven
and Earth, the Leader
went 011, has said that
there is no force that
can arbitran'ly elimi
nate His children,
hence all vengeance,
sh()'.jld be left with
the allknowing God.
"You should give
gifts-food; clothes,
ares.ses, 'money etc. to
those who hate and
vilify you. Do no t take
an)' retaliatory action
against those who
commit evil against
you, Leader Obu
charged,
The Leader
that even If Heaven
and Earth should co
me to join tosether"
all evil doers shall
never be vindicated.
Some people, the Lea
der said, are still askil1g
why members of the
BCS. fall sick and die.
Why, should they be
poor and wretched?
And explained that
ther.e, is nobody. who
can either influence
or bn'be God to change
his will ,and purpose.
Cod, the Leader
continu,ed) is a Cod of
justice,and equity that
is wh'y in BCS. when.
something is stolen or
lost, we celebrate love
feast to thank God.
love our ene
mies, we do good for
them and even pTay
for their promotions,
therefore, it is orily
God that exists and
have SUr
rendered themselves to
God can never haVe
,ihe ,Holy
Father;, said. , ,
Gontinu!ng, the Fa
ther 'said ,that when,
people are said or seen
to besufferl'ng greatly,
it is as aresuItaf their
evil doings, adding that
99 per cent oj the
world inhabl'tants, nei
ther believe nor prac
tise the inftmctions of
Cod.
Quo ring Romans
12: 19 ,to support the
import, On leaving ven- ,
geance, to God, Leader
ObI.' told the worship
pers that people who
still take vengeance On
others are the unbelie
vers, the ones our Lord
jes","s Christ said ho
nour' Him witb tbeir
lips" while the;; hearts
have departed from'
Him a long ago.
Leader Obu quer
ried why many people.
whose actions are at
variance with the in
jnction of.Cod still
claim to know Him,
and condemned in its
.
totality 'those who
s.eek for
',th'irir,stokn' ,property
'or when they
, ld' have allowed
such for Cod to de
cide.
The Leader also
used the occasion of
the Altar brief to re
mind all present that
the wages' of sin is
death and told them
how God. instructed
Adam, arId Eve (our
.first farents) no t to
'eat 0 the tree of tile
middle of the garden,
because, if they do,
they.would die.
He intimated them
that tho;e who steal,

'king vengeance against
them, .
"Many peopCe" the
'Father mentioned,
"are confessing the evil
they had been
trating against memo,
bers of Brotherhood of
'the Cros,s. and Star,'1
and. that people are
afraId of B.C.S; mem
bers because of the po
wer tha t exist in the
fold.
He quoted the case
,of one Pastor Bassey
Akpan whose proper
ty thieves 'stole but
quite unknown to
him, the thieves had:
to ret'i4m the stolen
items, -as an instance
where God avenge for
'those who believe in
Him.
The Holy' Father
went on to say that
nobody . speaks care-'
lessly against GQd or
do any other thing
that does not please
Him and go free. For
instance, He opinned,
when Nebuchadnezzer
wrong Cod (Daniel 5
'18-21- he was trans'
into a beas(
and he lived in the
bush and ate whar
beasts ate for seven
years,
Pharoah of Egypt..,
the I:ather said, pe
rished in the Red sea
because he tortured
the children of IsraeL
The Lsra.eUties killed
'our Lord Jesus Christ
and prayed that His
blood should be On
them and 0Tl their
progeny,. And severffy
years after, the Roma:rf,
Empireover.-ran the
country and destroyed
everything except a
few thousand wno
were scattered all over
the world.
Leader 06.. warn
that pu tting on whire

no t free anyone, ad
ding "if )'0.. know the
damages yo..... do r0
yourself by stealing,
fornicating abou t and
.even ind.. lging in dia
bology, you should
have refrained from

FinaUy, the Fathn

But what is disturb;ng
