1.0 THE MYSTERY OF DEATH
First lesson: John: 16:7
"Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away the Comforter will not come unto you: but if I depart, I will send him to you."
Second lesson: John: 12:24
"Verily, verily, I say, unto you, except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit."
Golden text: John: 14.18
"I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you."
Brethren, the Spirit persists that I should reveal this mystery and recondite wisdom of God to you. I believe death is something that people spend time, money and effort to resist. It is a phenomenon that has disturbed many minds. Many people have questioned why there should be death arguing that it should be completely eradicated. Some complain that it has wrought troubles upon the surface of the earth and is the greatest evil. The conclusion is that it is a very bad thing. People have joined so many secret societies with the hope of protecting themselves against death but to no avail. Different modes of prayers have been adopted and various actions taken to eliminate death but it has actively continued its work. Some continually ponder over it and are flabbergasted and fearful. The wisdom of God surpasses all understanding. Man is always confounded by the wisdom of God. You know how the first Adam died and resurrected. You have heard how God caused Him to fall into a "deep sleep". That deep sleep was death. He died and resurrected. This confirms the text that "except a grain of wheat falls into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit".
1.1 NO DEATH, NO BIRTH
Without deaths how can there be births? People do grow old, their limbs and other body parts become ineffective with age, but as long as they remain in that physical body, they cannot be born again. A great many of us have lost our teeth, or are blind, others are variously incapacitated with disabilities. If someone is deformed, he can only return with complete and healthy body when he dies and resurrects. If you do not die how will you be born and if you are not born how will you have a chance to enjoy this kingdom of God. Why are you ignorant about this issue? Realise that when somebody dies, in his rebirth, he will not come back alone. As a grain of wheat remains alone when planted but regenerates and reproduces more; after dying, so do human beings multiply. Between you and God, who should be considered foolish?
1.2 YOU MULTIPLY AFTER DEATH
When you are on earth in the flesh, you occupy only one physical body and answer just one name. But when you die and resurrect, you will return in multiple physical forms. Reason with me, God created only one man. That one man doubled into two and from these two persons the world has now witnessed an explosive population. Since the creation of Adam and Eve, have you heard that God has created any other person? As you plant and nourish a grain, if it does not die but still lives, it cannot germinate and bring forth any yields. But when it dies, it brings forth many fruits. So do humans. It is only after the death of one man that many others are born. Of a truth, if someone does not die, no person will be born again into the world. For as long as you live on earth in your physical body, for that long will you remain alone but when you die, you resurrect in multiples. You will also remember that when our Lord Jesus Christ was physically on earth in His last advent. He was only seen at places He went to. He was as a single individual in the physical form. But when He died all that changed. Before He died He said, "it is expedient for you that I go away, for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you". When He died and resurrected, He appeared in multi-forms. He appeared everywhere at the same time and many people attested to that fact.
1.3 NOW WE CAN HAVE MANY CHRISTS OF GOD
We should have the understanding that His death and resurrection meant He has returned as multiple identical individuals. You should no longer pray that until He comes back. He no longer abides as a single person. The only condition He gave was that if He did not go away the Comforter would not come. In other words, if He did not die. He would not be reborn. Tell me the truth, if He did not die do you think He would have resurrected? What crime did the Jews commit against Him? What sins did Judas Iscariot commit? What did God Himself do wrong in the matter relating to His death? Is it not expedient for us to be joyful? Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself said to His disciples, "if you loved me you would rejoice because I said I go unto the Father for the Father is greater than I". No person seems to understand that statement. We should be happy because if one does not depart, he cannot return. Many of you in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star lament, regret and complain that if you were still young, or if you had the time to continue to serve God you would not have married as you would love to be a Christ Student. If you do not die how can these wishes materialize. Some of you argue that if your parents or grand parents were alive till today they would have seen God face to face. Who tells you that they are not living? They died so that they would be opportuned to enjoy the kingdom. Old age has limited the physical capabilities of many. You are now unable to run gingerly, your prowess has diminished. You have gradually emaciated and your body has lost its exuberance. With the state of your body, it has become difficult to take part in physically demanding activities. Some are unable to render melodious songs as they used to and can barely manage to crow.
1.4 DEATH IS A BLESSING IN DISGUISE
Brethren, God is good. If you do not die, you will not be able to resurrect and live an entirely new life. Your wish to be young again cannot be fulfilled unless this body dies and regenerates a new body in multiple forms. In a new and multiple body, you will enjoy the kingdom, feel better about yourself and your request for eternal life will promptly be granted. I tell you that you do not go anywhere when you die. Examine the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, "I will not leave you comfortless, I come back to you". The emphasis is not on the future but the present because to die is to be reborn. The day you die is the day you are born. Have you never heard of people attesting to seeing supposedly dead people at various places? Most of the people you claim are dead are physically in other cities and countries going about their daily chores. Are you not aware of this? When a man is dead, you claim he is gone forever or that when a man dies he will go to Hades. Where is Hades? Where is apparition? Where is the grave itself? The person you presume dead is physically with you because immediately he dies, he also resurrects and probably accompanies you to the cemetery where his burial takes place. At the cemetery, he drums and sings with you. This is no fairy tale or dreamland narration. For a person to die and resurrect in the same physical body is rather ill luck. He remains in the same flesh and physical deformities. I usually over-hear some people expressing joy and gratitude to God for preserving their lives claiming to be more fortunate than those who could not live to see a New Year or who cannot get up because of illness. I tell you those who die are better off. They are regenerated. With death sicknesses, poverty, wretchedness, tribulations and afflictions, and many other problems and difficulties are all taken away and solved. You become a new creature in multiple identical forms. At the moment you are still living in the flesh with its attendant encumbrances. Can you not realise that the dead person is better off than you are?
1.5 DO NOT MOURN THE DEAD OR HARM THE BODY/SPIRIT
Whatever astral projections are undertaken one thing is sure and that is, except you die you cannot be born again. For as long as you are in the flesh, you are still human and cannot resurrect. As long as you are in the flesh, you abide alone and physically limited but when you die, you resurrect immediately. As soon as somebody is dead he is reborn. Do not weep and wail when somebody dies because he is still going about his business without hindrance. Just bury the body within twenty four hours or so without embalmment or putting the body in the mortuary. Avoid worldly activities of mourning and keeping funeral homes. You should rather sing and rejoice for him. He is prettier and wiser than you. Do you know that there are many people in this world who cannot be identified or recognised? I rather not reveal that secret to you. There are a great many people here who will never die because they have already resurrected, being the children of resurrection. They are moving about, living in houses, working in the offices or self-employed. These sorts of people are numerous in the world but you always regard them as ordinary human beings.
1.6 OUR LORD JESUS IS EVERYWHERE
As at now our Lord Jesus Christ is everywhere physically, spiritually and otherwise. If He did not die, how would it have been possible for Him to resurrect? The second lesson tells us that except a corn of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone. But if it dies, it brings forth many fruits. Is that statement not an eye opener? When you pray to God to take away or ward off anything, how will He do it when you have made your physical body useless and adulterated by injecting and drinking different kinds of medication and concoction? Your body is defiled. If you are not dead, how will you be regenerated? How will you have a new life or fulfill your aspirations? Paul says in the flesh I am a servant to sin and in my spirit I am a servant to Christ, For the good that I would, I do not, but the evil which I would not, that I do. Now if I do that I would not it is no more I that do it, but the sin that dwells in my flesh. Do you not know that this mortal body is full of sin? The body is corruptible.
1.7 YOU DIE TO BE REGENERATED
If you are not dead you cannot be born anew and if you are not regenerated, you cannot meet your aspirations. You have eyes but cannot perceive, ears but cannot hear and cannot conceive with your heart.
1.8 RE INCARNATION IS REAL
You always plead that God should destroy death but year in year out you cultivate food crops. Why do you plant these crops? How else do you think crops will be replenished without death? I believe that before the introduction of Christianity to some communities, traditional religions offered better explanation of this mystery than we have today. In various communities, there are identifiable claims of reincarnation. If you had not died, how would you have been regenerated into new life? Some years ago in Nigeria, there was a newspaper article about a child who died and reincarnated after some years and identified herself to a certain man as his daughter. When the man argued, she presented him with proofs, including taking him to where her grave was. This incidence took place few years ago. If she did not die, how would it have been possible for her to be born again? All over the world, there are similar stories of reincarnation. Today, you still argue that people who die are still in Hades. Where is Hades? The commission by God for man to go and multiply and replenish the earth means that to be born is death and to die is to be born. When you die, you are regenerated and when you are born you are dead. This is the way the population of the world has increased by geometrical progression. Death is the single most effective method of population growth. Praying to God to take away death is a wasted mental exercise. Your body is defiled with fornication, medication, cigarette, drugs and other forms of concoction. How will God use the body for His work? You have to die before a new life in multiples comes. No person other than the Father is responsible for this process. Therefore, whoever is born is indebted to death and whoever is dead is indebted to a new birth. Your plea not to be reincarnated is belated. When you die, you reincarnate not as a single individual but as many persons. It is equally too late for you to pray God that you should not die. If you are not dead how will you be regenerated? If you are not born how will you die? This is the strategy adopted by God to cause the multiplication of people in the world. This process of life is the work of God. No matter your mode of prayer, the amount of candles and incense you bum in the process, and the manner you call the name Jesus or Jehovah, you will not and cannot eliminate death. You should not bother yourself about death but rather surrender yourself to the will of God.
1.9 WHAT IS END OF THE WORLD, AND WORLD WITHOUT END
What do you think of these two expressions, "until the end of the world" and "world without end"? When a man is dead, people believe that he should be accorded last respect. You are not aware that he has reincarnated as a baby, an adult or an old man with different physical features. This means then that there is no end of the world. How do you think this world will end because the world has no end? As is said, world without end. It is foolishness to claim that burial rites accord a dead person the last honour or compensate for the things he would have enjoyed were he to live. His death means that he is being regenerated and has the time to enjoy everything.
1.10 OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS EXAMPLE
This lesson is based on the life of our Lord Jesus Christ because what happens now is exactly what happened to Him. He is the first fruit of the Father and it was written about Him. It has not been about you. Since He is the progenitor. He is always used as an example to the world in every circumstance. Excluding women and children, 600,000 adults were delivered from bo***ge in Egypt. Only two people made it to the Promised Land. The point though is, when the people eventually settled in Canaan, did the population not grow more than when they left Egypt? Have you not heard that because of the sin of fornication 23,000 persons died in a day in the wilderness? For tempting God many thousands died, and for murmuring against God many thousands also died. Why did they die whereas they were heading for the Promised Land? Would you argue that there was no land? In spite of the fact that so many thousand died in the desert, Canaan became densely populated.
1.11 RESURRECTION IS GOD'S BLESSING TO MAN
For one person to die, thousands of people are regenerated. Why then should you argue that death is bad? What is evil in it? You should rather be grateful to God for making resurrection possible for mankind. We have reason to be joyful because the wisdom of God surpasses all understanding. A man may live till old age but for some inexplicable circumstances looses his sight, speech, hearing, teeth, memory and limbs. If he does not go, what use is he on earth? When your parents or grand parents are old and helpless, they need others to care for their every need. If you have to shoulder such responsibilities, what use is it for them to continue living? Brethren, I do not wish to overload you. Read our first lesson again. Scales will fall from your eyes and you will see more clearly. The words of today will dwell richly in your hearts.
First lesson: John: 16:7
"Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away the Comforter will not come unto you: but if I depart, I will send him to you."
1.12 THE MYSTERY OF JESUS CHRIST'S DEATH
You are all aware that our Lord Jesus Christ spoke in parables for without parables will He not speak. What is read to you is a parable, which I am revealing to you today. You have heard what He says; "If I go not away". That is to say, if I do not die I will not be regenerated and will not come back, but if I die I will come back regenerated. In effect He was saying; it is expedient for you that I die so that I can return to be with you. You should be joyful, but if I do not die and as long as I continue to live I shall remain alone and you will not enjoy the full benefit of my life. In His physical form He was alone in the flesh, which was why they could not receive the Holy Spirit. If He did not die but continued in that physical body, what would have been the benefit? It would be of no benefit to anyone. The world would have perished. If you do not die your illness, pains and aches will continue to torture you. You will then subject yourself to medication, concoction, and medical check ups, X-rays, consulting oracles and injecting black powder into your body. For how long should you suffer? When you die, you return as a handsome small boy or beautiful little girl and enjoy the condition of the kingdom of God. When you are regenerated, you come in multiples.
1.13 RESURRECTION IN A NEW BODY
Because resurrection takes place in a new body explains why even those who were very close to our Lord Jesus Christ could not recognise Him immediately. In the morning, our Lord Jesus Christ stood on the shore but the disciples knew not that it was He. Even when He spoke to them they could not still recognise Him until He revealed Himself to them and persuaded them to touch Him. They probably thought He was an apparition. But He told them fear not, come and touch Me, I am He, for the Spirit has neither bone nor flesh. To convince them that He was the one. He asked them 'give me fish to eat'. While the Spirit is very resilient, the flesh is comparatively very weak. At the moment, your flesh is weak unto death and if you do not resurrect, you cannot hear this gospel talk less of assimilating it. It would probably sound like a dreamland babbling. It is not uncommon to hear people claim they have seen apparition. If someone dies now and after prayers are offered to God he is raised, people around will be scared. What then would happen if they were to recognise a resurrected person? However, whether or not you believe does not alter the fact that the dead resurrect and are going about their normal duties everywhere. I can assure you that those you presumed dead are all here with us. All of them are on earth carrying out their lawful duties. Sometimes, you even play host to them, eat and sleep with them. What are you going to do about it? Believe it or not there is no death. Sometimes you hear stories of a "dead" person's look-alike being spotted in another city or country. Sometimes, he is the person spotted but you are still beclouded with the ignorance of people going to Hades when they die.
1.14 AVOID EVIL ACTS
If we believed that to die is to resurrect, and that if one does not die he cannot resurrect, we would have diligently and devotedly engaged ourselves in well doing, so that on our resurrection, we would enjoy the fruits of our labour. All things belong to us forever because there is no death. As a result of our ignorance of the truth we shout, weep and wail when somebody dies notwithstanding what legacy he bequeathed. Some people resort to extravagance, claiming they would not want to leave their wealth for others to enjoy when they are gone. Some rudely pile up debts for their beneficiaries. As a matter of fact, you are not going anywhere. You may be born into the same household and the onus would fall on you to defray the debts. Most of our problems emanate from the uncertainties of our frustrating material conditions. If you were born with a silver spoon, you would not have cared about a lot of things nor prayed God to take your life.
1.15 THE FATHER WANTS PERFECTION
Since the Father insists on perfection, a farmer whose seed is partially destroyed may not want to sell such a seed. Instead, he would be better off replanting and nourishing that seed so that it regenerates and yields better and sometimes more seeds. If he delights in having smooth and nice looking seeds from his yields, he would keep enriching the soil nutrients. This is exactly what God does to human beings. He causes people to reincarnate several times, multiplying during the process until He fine-tunes them to required perfection.
1.16 THE CHILDREN OF THE RESURRECTION
What do you suppose is the meaning of this statement by our Lord Jesus Christ; "But those who shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage". Who do you think He refers to? They are the children of resurrection. They have resurrected physically and they neither marry nor are given in marriage because they will never die again. If it happens otherwise then they are not the ones. If you now decide not to marry, it is a waste of time and you will be living in a fool's paradise. It is only when you die and are regenerated that you become a child of the resurrection. That New World, the kingdom of God, belongs to the children of the resurrection because they have no sexual or carnal feelings, desires, or appetite. They are like angels. It is said; "meats for the belly and the belly for meats but God will destroy both it and them". The body is not for fornication, but for the Lord and the Lord for the body. At present, fornication is the order of the day and has so defiled the body, the temple of the most High God, that the body is good for nothing. Now that you pray that death should go very far from you, if your prayers were answered, will you ever enjoy this kingdom? If our Lord Jesus Christ did not die, do you think He would have enjoyed this kingdom? It is said flesh and blood cannot inherit this kingdom. You are enjoined to mortify the flesh. Unless you mortify the flesh, you cannot be regenerated in the Spirit. That is why it is said when you refrain from fornication, falsehood, theft, exasperation and other acts of sin, and mortify the flesh, you will resurrect in the Spirit. When you are in spirit, you are seen lavishly everywhere. That was why our Lord Jesus Christ said; "we shall not all sleep but we shall all be changed within a twinkle of an eye". Do not doubt these words because not all of you will sleep. Some of you will not taste of death because if you mortify your flesh it will yield to the Spirit who will take over the control of your body. The doctrine delivered to you is meant to help you kill the flesh, its lusts and affections so that you will be regenerated in the Spirit. As the flesh diminishes, the spirit in you waxes stronger and healthier. People may even complain about your loss of weight, trying to attribute it to your vegan or fruitarian lifestyle. Spiritually, you can attest to being a stronger new person. The dry fasting we undertake is likened to somebody dying. During that period, you do not eat, drink, wash, brush your teeth; should not urinate or pass faeces. It is like physically gradually dying away. It is death. It is only when the body dies that you can be in Spirit. Gluttony dampens the Spirit and fuels carnal prowess. Anyone who is not in Spirit is in flesh. Rest assured that the words o our Lord Jesus Christ are fulfilled. Read the second lesson.
John: 12:24
"Verily, verily, I say, unto you, except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit."
Brethren, have you heard what is read to you? When Our Lord Jesus Christ was in the flesh. His physical sitting were only limited to those places He visited. That was why when the disciples asked Him, "Increase our faith". He would not because then He was not yet glorified. Only when He was glorified that the disciples would be glorified. As long as you are in the flesh, you cannot do anything good unless the body dies and yields to the spirit. Similarly, if our Lord Jesus Christ did not die. He could not resurrect. If He did not resurrect. He could not assume that glory. Can you not realise that He is God? He is the truth and His wisdom surpasses all human understanding? His wisdom confounds the wise men of this world. "Except a corn of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone". That is to say, if a man does not die he cannot be born but when he dies he is regenerated and reincarnates in multi-forms. You have a choice to believe or not to believe in this gospel. Whatever the case, our Lord Jesus Christ remains a perfect example to the whole world. He is the mediator between God and man. He is the Author and Propagator of our faith.
1.17 THE LORD JESUS CHRIST IS EXAMPLE
He is very typical example to the whole universe. He is a shinning example to all angels and spirits. He was speaking about Himself when He said; "It is expedient for you that I go away, for if I go not away the Comforter will not come". That is to say, if He did not die He would not reincarnate. As long as He was in that physical body, He remained alone and would not regenerate and reincarnate in multiple. After His resurrection. He was seen at several places. About 500 people saw Him. He was seen in synagogues, along the street, at the market square. Indeed He was lavishly seen everywhere because He was a spirit. There is no trick or magic in the process explained by this lesson. If you do not die you cannot be regenerated. If He had not died, He would not have regenerated in multiples or resurrected and no person would have seen Him. Since after His resurrection. Our Lord Jesus Christ has not gone anywhere. He is found everywhere otherwise the work of God would have terminated. People call upon His name freely and He is working everywhere. Erroneously, some continue to wait for His arrival saying always "until Jesus comes back". Did He tell you He would go somewhere else? He has always been here with man because immediately He died He resurrected with a host. The reason our Lord Jesus Christ is seen and found everywhere is that He reincarnated as a Spirit. If God likes to open your eyes, you will see Him face to face all the time, wherever you are. As you see Him so do others see him at other places physically, spiritually and otherwise? It is the only way you can see Him. Back at Eton Street, Sister Glover had a revelation and saw our Lord Jesus Christ and the twelve disciples physically, not in the dream.
1.18 THERE IS RESURRECTION
You who argue in ignorance that there is no resurrection, was the grain you planted in your farm the one you harvested? You can split seeds into parts and plant the parts separately. Before they germinate, grow and yield new bodies, the planted parts will actually die. During harvest, you will not find the planted parts but whole and new seed(s). Each part may produce three, four or more offshoots. The same process applies in resurrection. Our Lord Jesus Christ died as a single person, resurrected as a multiplicity of the 'Christ' and is with us till this day. He would not die again though people still ignorantly say until He comes. He appears in various forms. He can appear physically as a woman, or as a young man, or a white man, or black man or as an old man or woman. He can take any form. Sometimes while walking along a street you wish someone would assist you. Almost from nowhere, our Lord Jesus Christ physically appears to give you the needed assistance. That same Jesus Christ our Lord does it. Do not forget that at the time He is solving your problem. He is simultaneously attending to another person in India, Britain, Ghana and other places. In His current multiple forms, He is omnipresent. He is neither discriminatory nor forgetful. Now He is both in the Spirit and in flesh. When He was in the flesh and did not die and resurrect. He was alone. What would have brought Him to Africa? If He came to Africa, Europe would not see Him and if He were in America, the Asians would not see Him. At present He appears lavishly and is seen everywhere. What is evil about dying as a single individual but regenerated in large numbers? If you love particular crop specie, you would like it to multiply and would replant instead of disposing of the one you have. The single crop can multiply to twenty when planted, and the twenty into hundreds when replanted until your stock of that specie runs into thousands and more. Those who continue to argue that our Lord Jesus Christ has not resurrected, have they not heard what He has said. All those who argue that He will not come back, do they read that passage? His going means coming. In the same token your departure means your coming back, your coming means your departure. Did He not show His disciples how He would go to Jerusalem and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes and be killed. Peter almost immediately rebuked Him saying, "far be it from you Lord that this shall not be unto you". But He told them that on the third day He would be raised again. Resurrection is therefore for all and sundry who believe in Him.
1.19 WHAT IS LOVE, FAITH AND HOPE
What is love? Love is God. Love is something permanent and unchangeable. All else will pass away but love will not pass away forever. What is faith? Faith is the 'Christ', which invariably is the Word of God. The Word of God you receive is faith, if you believe in the gospel you receive, which is the "Christ", you believe in God. What is hope? Hope is the resurrection. All those who have hope in the resurrection have no problems, because they know that except a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it abides alone, but if it dies it brings forth more fruits. The children of the resurrection are always happy in the resurrection, looking forward to death so that the body would be regenerated to enjoy the fruit of their labour in the kingdom.
1.20 THE SAINTS AND PATRIARCHS
Saint Paul was one of the great men who believed that without death no person could resurrect. He had hope in the resurrection and that was why he said, "I am now ready to be offered and the time of departure is at hand. For I am in a straight betwixt two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better: nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more profitable for you". Do you think that we still have a single Abraham? There is multiple of Abraham everywhere in the world. Paul, John the Baptist, Peter and others have also multiplied and replenished the earth. This wisdom is not known. I am however, concentrating on our Lord Jesus Christ our model because there is no statement of His which has not been fulfilled. He said, "except the corn of wheat falls into the ground and dies it remains alone, but when it dies it brings forth much fruits". Have you not seen the much fruit brought by our Lord Jesus Christ? When He was in the flesh, it would not have been possible for Him to come to Calabar or to go into the bush or to Cameroon or any other place to help you. Now He is with us inside the seas, on top of trees and everywhere. He is omnipresent, saving and serving, warding off evil, healing all ailments and caring for every person and everything. It is said, "whosoever is born of God does not commit sin but he who is begotten of God keeps himself and the wicked one does not touch him". Who is the begotten of God? Is it not our Lord Jesus Christ? Apart from our Lord Jesus Christ who possesses love? Apart from Him who is merciful? Apart from him who is truthful and can tolerate us? Who else can watch over our souls? Do you not realise that if our Lord Jesus Christ had not gone away, He would not have returned in the multiple numbers He appears now? Because He realised the field was indeed all white but the reapers were not there that was why He said, it was expedient to go away and return quickly in multiples. Now He does not need to travel by canoe, car or boat but He is found everywhere. Before He sends you to any place, He is already there because He appears everywhere.
1.21 JESUS CHRIST HAS CONQUERED DEATH
He dwells inside you. In your dream and visions you see Him. He speaks to you in Spirit. He is before and behind you. He sleeps with you and is simultaneously with your brother and other brethren wherever they are. Do not be deceived again that you should wait until our Lord Jesus Christ comes back. He is now here. He died and immediately resurrected with a new life in multiples. This resurrection is also meant for me and you and every person without exemption. Our Lord Jesus Christ went down to Hades during which period He broke the spear of death, overcame, chained and destroyed death and Hades; thus reigning supreme without the limitations of any barriers. In civilised and less civilised nations, attempts are made to legalise abortion partly as a way of stemming the growth of population in alarming progressions. Part of the concern is that total world food output may eventually be insufficient for the teeming population. The legalisation of abortion cannot curb world population. For as long as people die, for that long will they continue to be born? Unless it is possible to stop deaths, there will continue be births. Nigeria and other countries should note that legalising abortion would not serve their intended purpose. If you want to stop the growth of population, you have first of all to stop death. Even if you marry a hundred women, they will remain childless unless deaths continue.
1.22 THE REASON FOR DEATH
Tell me why people should not die. When somebody completes his assignment on earth, or is so old that he can no longer see, it would be time for him to take up his next assignment after rendering an account of his earlier stewardship. It does not make sense for you to plead that somebody who cannot see or walk or do anything for himself should continue to live. Why should he tarry any longer? Since he has completed his assignment, he should take up the next. Some people have children at their old age. How much time will they have to be with them? They have to go so that they can come back and enjoy their children. Maybe you are very kind and benevolent to a great many people and you are not weary in well doing. Supposing you are old and cannot enjoy the fruits of your labour at a time the people should compensate you, you have to depart so that you can come back to enjoy these things. Why do you argue that death is not good?
1.23 BEWARE OF KARMA
Your main problem is that you are still ignorant of the fact that to die is to be regenerated. Such ignorance induces you to steal and be indebted to others. When you come back, you will defray all your debts before you can settle down to enjoy yourself. For some people, things go smooth and well right from birth. They are reaping the fruits of their labour. Others may begin suffering as soon as they touch down on earth. The land will not bring good yield, nothing they touch flourishes. They are also reaping what they had sown. If you are indebted, your bank account will be depleted until you have defrayed your debts. So long as you do not defray you debt, you will continue to repay the debt any time you come back to the earth plane. This type of situation occurs quite often. Our Lord Jesus Christ advises that when you "make a feast, you should call the poor, the maimed, the lame and the blind, that you should be blessed, for they cannot recompense you, for you will be recompensed at the resurrection of the just". About 99% of the population of the world do not believe in resurrection. If you were to have hope in the resurrection, then you would not bother about death. Death does not exist. It is an imaginary phenomenon. Do not be guided by the thought of death. Continue in well-doing knowing that you are sowing all the good seeds for yourself. The disciples struggled to establish who would be the greatest among them. Since after our Lord Jesus Christ took His physical exit from this earth plane, which of them stepped into His shoes. No person took over from Him. Each person maintains his/her own position. There is division of labour and no person encroaches upon the responsibilities of others. Read the Golden text.
Golden text: John: 14:18
"I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you."
What is read to you is quite straightforward. Though I do not understand the grammatical construct of any language, our Lord Jesus Christ was speaking in the present continuous tense, indicating He was not leaving but coming back to you. Did He not say He was coming to you? It is therefore erroneous for you to pray that our Lord Jesus Christ should come back. He did not indicate His return in the future. He is with you always.
1.24 JESUS CHRIST IS HERE WITH US ALWAYS
I am making this declaration from the highest heaven. Read the texts to the ignorant and the fools. Show them to all the inhabitants of the world. I challenge the inhabitants of the world who are still waiting for our Lord Jesus Christ to come back. He said "It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away the Comforter will not come unto you: but if I depart, I will send him to you". Again He stated, "...except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruits". In the golden text He said, "I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you". All these go to prove that our Lord Jesus Christ has not left us one inch even for a split second. He has been with mankind since His resurrection and the Father is doing His work. However, many people still feel that He is somewhere in the sky. Others say until He comes back. But I ask, where has He ever been to? Has He not told us that whatever we ask the Father in His Name He will surely do for us? Has He ever advised you to ask through any other name or through any other thing? Can a dead person or somebody who has traveled to distant place make such a statement? Ask your biological father if he will do anything for you. Ask you government if it will do anything. Ask our Lord Jesus Christ anything. He is a living person and He will honour His promise that whatever we ask the Father in His name He will surely do for us. You do not read your Bible. Even when you read you do not understand the writings. Our Lord Jesus Christ never and will never die. Do you also know that His ascension meant descent? The day He ascended into heaven was the day He came down to earth. Also, when He descended to earth in His physical manifestation was when He ascended into heaven. The story of our Lord Jesus Christ is a simple one. The time of His birth was the time of His death and the time of His death was the time He regenerated, endowed with power and wisdom to rule the world.
1.25 THE FOLLY OF MAN
Imagine man in his folly! Speaking about our Lord Jesus Christ, Caiaphas told the people "that it was expedient that one man should die for the people". Did he understand what He was saying? Our Lord Jesus Christ knew that it was expedient that He should die so that He would reincarnate. At a closer look, which of the actions taken against our Lord Jesus Christ was evil? Was it that of Caiaphas or any of the others associated with His crucifixion? If these things did not take place. our Lord Jesus Christ would not have come into the world, and now rules over all creation. When you are in the flesh you are in a confinement and your movements are circumscribed. When you resurrect and become regenerated, you travel to any place at any time without passport and visa. You can appear in physical or spirit form, travel through air, fire or any other medium. You can realise how our Lord Jesus Christ is working at this end of time in the world. When I tell you that I am not the one doing anything, you always laugh.
1.26 JESUS CHRIST IS ALL AND IN ALL
Do not gaze at the sun or the moon. Do not go to India or Britain or anywhere else to look for God. If anybody tells you that our Lord Jesus Christ is lurking in the moon, do not go because He never left us. He is never ill, does not experience pain, and has no problems. Even the three days He was supposed to have been in the grave, He did not rest. He spent the three days destroying death and pains of death and took complete dominion over Hades as the King of heaven. He also released all those in bo***ge. Also, do not claim again that our Lord Jesus Christ is specifically in the sky. He is always in the sky, the sun, the moon, in the forest, in the water and everywhere. He is in your heart. He is in your house. Walk majestically and boldly; call upon Him relentlessly all the time. He is human, Spirit, fire air and water. He is all and in all. Do not boast of doing anything. It is our Lord Jesus Christ who does everything. Do not be deceived that any human being is capable of doing everything. No flesh and blood can do the work apart from our Lord Jesus Christ. That is why you are advised to mortify your flesh and live in Spirit. If you mortify the flesh you will be one Spirit with Him. "Though we have known our Lord Jesus Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we Him no more". This explains why you are always told to mortify the flesh, refrain from drinking, fornication, adultery, falsehood, theft and all vices and surrender yourself to Him. Serve and abide in Him so that He will take dominion over all your life.
1.27 THE POWER IN BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR
Would you know why people opine that you in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star possess extraordinary power? Even with your little faith, you are seen physically everywhere. When two or three people confess they saw you at the same time in different places and you had discussion with them physically they conclude that yours is not a church but a cult. They see you both physically and spiritually. You are seen in the moon, in the stars, in water and everywhere. That is why your explanations do not seem to convince people that yours is not some kind of very powerful cult. Many of you argue that you have never traveled abroad. I can tell you that you have been going. You are entering inside water and saving them that are in chains. You are climbing to great heights and setting captives free. You are liberating all those in bo***ge. You go to hospitals to liberate those affected by the machinations of the evil ones. That is why they conclude that your witchcraft is the most powerful in the world. There is no witchcraft and your power is from God. Those who are Christ's have crucified their flesh with its affections and lusts and are now living in the spirit. This is a spiritual warfare. You need no candle or incense or perfume or any other thing but wherever you go, people are always petrified and astonished by the things the Spirit accomplishes through you. The Holy Spirit tells people who you are and all elementary spirits are subject to you. Have you never been asked what paranormal society you belong to? As little as you are, if you are seen in the spirit people will be baffled. One of you alone to enter Calabar will ward off all evils and render all charms useless. When some people say that you are a man of God, some will argue that you are a wizard because of the powers manifesting in you. "For the flesh lusted against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would." If therefore you mortify the flesh, you will live in the spirit. The teachings delivered to you do not exist anywhere else in the world. This is the period when everlasting gospels are given to you. Brethren, I will not take you much further. A stroke of the cane is enough for the wise. Those who have ears let them hear. May God bless His words.Amen.
THANK YOU FATHER1.0 THE MYSTERY OF DEATH
First lesson: John: 16:7
"Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away the Comforter will not come unto you: but if I depart, I will send him to you."
Second lesson: John: 12:24
"Verily, verily, I say, unto you, except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit."
Golden text: John: 14.18
"I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you."
Brethren, the Spirit persists that I should reveal this mystery and recondite wisdom of God to you. I believe death is something that people spend time, money and effort to resist. It is a phenomenon that has disturbed many minds. Many people have questioned why there should be death arguing that it should be completely eradicated. Some complain that it has wrought troubles upon the surface of the earth and is the greatest evil. The conclusion is that it is a very bad thing. People have joined so many secret societies with the hope of protecting themselves against death but to no avail. Different modes of prayers have been adopted and various actions taken to eliminate death but it has actively continued its work. Some continually ponder over it and are flabbergasted and fearful. The wisdom of God surpasses all understanding. Man is always confounded by the wisdom of God. You know how the first Adam died and resurrected. You have heard how God caused Him to fall into a "deep sleep". That deep sleep was death. He died and resurrected. This confirms the text that "except a grain of wheat falls into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit".
1.1 NO DEATH, NO BIRTH
Without deaths how can there be births? People do grow old, their limbs and other body parts become ineffective with age, but as long as they remain in that physical body, they cannot be born again. A great many of us have lost our teeth, or are blind, others are variously incapacitated with disabilities. If someone is deformed, he can only return with complete and healthy body when he dies and resurrects. If you do not die how will you be born and if you are not born how will you have a chance to enjoy this kingdom of God. Why are you ignorant about this issue? Realise that when somebody dies, in his rebirth, he will not come back alone. As a grain of wheat remains alone when planted but regenerates and reproduces more; after dying, so do human beings multiply. Between you and God, who should be considered foolish?
1.2 YOU MULTIPLY AFTER DEATH
When you are on earth in the flesh, you occupy only one physical body and answer just one name. But when you die and resurrect, you will return in multiple physical forms. Reason with me, God created only one man. That one man doubled into two and from these two persons the world has now witnessed an explosive population. Since the creation of Adam and Eve, have you heard that God has created any other person? As you plant and nourish a grain, if it does not die but still lives, it cannot germinate and bring forth any yields. But when it dies, it brings forth many fruits. So do humans. It is only after the death of one man that many others are born. Of a truth, if someone does not die, no person will be born again into the world. For as long as you live on earth in your physical body, for that long will you remain alone but when you die, you resurrect in multiples. You will also remember that when our Lord Jesus Christ was physically on earth in His last advent. He was only seen at places He went to. He was as a single individual in the physical form. But when He died all that changed. Before He died He said, "it is expedient for you that I go away, for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you". When He died and resurrected, He appeared in multi-forms. He appeared everywhere at the same time and many people attested to that fact.
1.3 NOW WE CAN HAVE MANY CHRISTS OF GOD
We should have the understanding that His death and resurrection meant He has returned as multiple identical individuals. You should no longer pray that until He comes back. He no longer abides as a single person. The only condition He gave was that if He did not go away the Comforter would not come. In other words, if He did not die. He would not be reborn. Tell me the truth, if He did not die do you think He would have resurrected? What crime did the Jews commit against Him? What sins did Judas Iscariot commit? What did God Himself do wrong in the matter relating to His death? Is it not expedient for us to be joyful? Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself said to His disciples, "if you loved me you would rejoice because I said I go unto the Father for the Father is greater than I". No person seems to understand that statement. We should be happy because if one does not depart, he cannot return. Many of you in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star lament, regret and complain that if you were still young, or if you had the time to continue to serve God you would not have married as you would love to be a Christ Student. If you do not die how can these wishes materialize. Some of you argue that if your parents or grand parents were alive till today they would have seen God face to face. Who tells you that they are not living? They died so that they would be opportuned to enjoy the kingdom. Old age has limited the physical capabilities of many. You are now unable to run gingerly, your prowess has diminished. You have gradually emaciated and your body has lost its exuberance. With the state of your body, it has become difficult to take part in physically demanding activities. Some are unable to render melodious songs as they used to and can barely manage to crow.
1.4 DEATH IS A BLESSING IN DISGUISE
Brethren, God is good. If you do not die, you will not be able to resurrect and live an entirely new life. Your wish to be young again cannot be fulfilled unless this body dies and regenerates a new body in multiple forms. In a new and multiple body, you will enjoy the kingdom, feel better about yourself and your request for eternal life will promptly be granted. I tell you that you do not go anywhere when you die. Examine the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, "I will not leave you comfortless, I come back to you". The
