Istress categorically without rninci g words that, Brotherhoo of theCross and Star· is that New Heaven and new earth. The pre-requisitefor ntry into this kingdom is righteousness. Consequently, it is veryobivious that a lot of members are not qualified to be here. In fact,they will be thrown out in no time. This does not mean that they willcease to exist, but that, they will exist else where.This also· does· not mean that their form as human beings will be·.,,- .

removed. No. They will exist as human ·beings but not in Brotherhoodof the· Cross and Star.BROTHERHOOD OF.THE CROSS AND STAR IS UNIQUE:This goes to confirm the text that, Brotherhood of the Cross andStar is not a church, a shrine·, worshipping House··, inn or a temple. Itis the· kingdom of G on earth. It stands for perfection. And this iswhere· righteousness dwells.To this ena, all non conform.is.ts must be dismembered. This sermonserves as a general and last notice to both Brotherhood of the Crossand Star members and the world at large. Those without sterlingqualities such as patience, meekness, gentleness, long .suffering,honesty, hu ::!ity·, peace, joy etc. should consider themselves a squarepeg In a round hole·. To be worthy of this kingdom, one should be anepitome of these qualities. On the contrary these quanlities are strangeto the worldly people They find it difficult to accept them not to talkof practising them. However, I want these lofty qualities to bedemonstrated arid practised at all times. If I notice any clandestinedeparture from Brotherhood of the. Cross and Star tenets, you willquit Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. There is no room forunwholesomeness. This is the period of righteous ess. See our firstlesson:-FIRST LESSON: PHILIPPIANS 4:8''Finally, brethren, whatsoever· things are true,things are honest, whatsoever things are just,things are pure, whatsoever things are love/JJ,things are of good report; if there be any virtue,be any praise, .Jhink on these things''.wt1atsoeverwhatsoeverwhatsoeverand if thereDEMOLITION OF RECALCITRANTS:That is the· word of God. And it has manifested in this kingdom.Have you not seen what is honourable, just, pure and lovely in yourmidst? What the whole world awaits and seeks for is in our midst. So,I will n:o longer tolerate evil doers. They will face expulsio·ndownright. It is my belief· that, this will serve as a corrective measureor a detterant to others. Evildoers will be dealt with until sa11cl· , '/returns to the fold. The noisy atmosphere will be changed to a sere,··1 . :one. When you are a expelled; we lose nothing.'-

THE DAWN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS:Be informed that this drastic measure is· already on. Why shouldsomeone·cometo the headquarters to be duped?Take the· case of the Ghania;i whose money was stolen· in the guesthouse·, what impression have· you created for him? And when he getshome, what do you expect him to tell his people? Some of you laugh atsuch ignoble act as though .it was a laughing rnatter. You will soonstop laughing because my actions would deter laughter.It is written that people· will speak unwholesome things about Godbecause of your ignoble·atts:''And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason )/whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken o/' .(II Peter. 2:2) .Why should you ·embezzle yo r department's or company's fundsand still call yourself a member of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star?Why should you be saucy to your boss and other senior Colleagues nyour place of work? You elopt· with someone·'s wife and· therebythrow moraiity to the wind and at the same time claim to be a·memberof Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. I want you to be in the knc)\Vthat, your ignoble acts and viciousness are very glaring before me.MY MISSION:I ha\fe come to establish· the new kingdom of God on earth ·and tochange humanity for the better One person has take11 it upon himselfto build a six storey building. And many others are undertakingvarious projects in this kingdom which is out of the righteousness ofGod. Many others are ready to work for God. Whatever way youthink you can serve God, you are free to do so. There is no room fortrouble makers and the like in this kingdom. What I desire isrighteousness. Try as much as possible to do good things and to renderfree services.If you render free· services to God, this will be glaring and yourwelfare, money, food and clothings will be tak·en care of. This is whatshould happen i this kingdom.·Love is the nucleus of this kingdom. And all your actions should beinformed by love. As such, you should use your natural endowment toserve God and humanity. Truth should be your watch word. Practiselove, meekness, and righteousness. Once you are engrossed in loveand peace, the whole· world will be in a sta euphoria. Righteousnessshould be seen in all Brotherhood of the Cross and Star members.12

SHUN VICIOUSNESS:Depravity, immorality and all forms of viciousness shoulcl be put apaid to. And those who still want to cling to these unwholesome· actswill be shown the way out of this fold ·1 enjoin you to be truthful,obedient, loving and peaceful. The practice of these virtues will bringwealth, money, power, wisdom, peace and joy to the world. With this,the world will be a very good pface to live in materially and spiritually.The children of God should not have anything to do with evil. Readwhat the scripture states in 1st John 5:18:''We know that w f!§9 Y .r :i porn of (}ofJ ,sJnne h not; but·: /.: :c ;':he.:;that is begottf!rip; .(ff, J keejJMh:dhfn seif; ;attd:·;t1ta1·lficked · ·one toucheth him not''.Therefere, we in the Brotherhood of the Crossan.d Star should not.commit any sin. We have to shun fornica,tion, adultery, lies,immorality hatred among other yices.EXHIBIT RIGHTEOUSNESS:. Flipping back to .the testimony of sister Ejedawe, She testified thatthose that went to Zaire· for 'miriistry work' ate from the sameplate. And the brethren there are eager to come to Nigeria to see theFather and, if they come only to be duped, beaten, swindled· and.d isgraced, what impression will they have abo\lt, Brotherhood of theCross and Star? Will they not think that this-kingdom is not what it is profes d to be? ln Brotherhood of tbe.§ro s·;:Jn Star,,we do not sue,bear malice among other vices.Settle any misunderstanding amicably. ·no· not resort to violence.Teach others every good thing you know. The kiR.gdom of God doesnot connote 'eating and drinking'. And doP .," . mean putting onwhite clothes. But the kingdom of God connot.es righteousness Whichis the Holy Spirit. Before you are worthy to belong to this kingdom,yo·u should embrace all the godly virtues and they. should be seen inyou. Refer to 1atthew 7:21.''Not every one that saith unto me . Lord, Lord, shall enterinto the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of myFather which is in heaven''.WARNING FROM ABOVE:Tl1ose who do the will of the Father are those who practise Hisof God is now n ; · h hisinjunctions. The expected kingdom.41

kingdom ants love, temperance, songs, holiness and goodness. No.one can enter into the kingdom through his or her mundane wealth,rather, one gets into the kingdom through love, peace, truth, ·mercy,long-suffering, tolerance, h11mility· and all .virtues of righteousness.No fornicator is.allowed int,: this kingdom. If you are a fornicator,you should stay in the world a:nd do your nefarious act.bverybody should be acquainted with this part\etilar sermon. It is aclarion call for sinners to change for the better. :niose who still wallowin si11s should not come here. If you feel that you are wise in the world,then you should not come to- Brotherhood of the Cross and Starbecause, we play· a fool here· in the fold. ·Put into practic · without .ase·cond thought that God is the only Leader and Father of wisdom and power.IMPROVE THE LOTS OF PEOPLE:I reminded one -of the members the other day, that he hasabandoned the good work he was doing. As such, I drew hisattention to the dilapidated building which houses Christ'sstudents. The Father directed him to do something about it. In notime, he took positive steps towards that. I reiterate it here that youshould not be weary in doing good works. The Christ's servants andpreachers ought to be housed.As such, there are a lot of work to be done in order to improve the lotsof the underpriviledged. lpsofacto, whatever you think you can do toameliorate the suffering of brethren in this kingdom, please do it.If the Father gives you theability· and the might to buil da school for.-t \)f t e tuition, or a modern farm, you. should do these. to the glory ofGod. Many a member contributes substantial amount of money for·feast. While others do this, your 'contribution' is to struggle andscramble for feast. ivlany a man will take away cutleries. Thisu11wholesome act must stop.· B.C.S. SEAL:Members of Brother.hood of the Cross and Star should be urbane,courteous and truthful-in· any place they find themselves.- You should 'e t.ruthful and reliable to your employers. Discard your old ways of· 1·;: : .1nd en1brace love, peace, humility tolerance, meekness, patience,T·J 1 1nd lcJng-suffering. 1 his is Brotherhood of the Cross and Star's-: :n1ar :\. tJf identificatio11 .i( [J;; enched vario11s ser1nons about aspects of Lnis kingdom.1 A

.;;.Among them is the separation of sheep from the goats. I revisit thisissue to underscore its seriousness. It appears, the more you are told torefrain from sins, the more yo-u wallow in sins. If you do not refrainfrom- your evil ways, youwill regret your actions.'You call yourself a Christ's student, Christ's servant, Pastor,· Elderor Chorister, this does not help you . What is pertinent is· to berighteous. Strive to live above board.If you still wallow "in sins, in no time, ,.The· 'Herald' will soon publishexp.ulsion of the recalcitrant members and the foundation of sinners isshaking. Read the second lesson.,,.'".SECOND LESSON: JAMES.3:17''But the wisdom that is from. above is firsl pure, thenpeaceable, gentle, at:,d easy to· be entreated,. full of n1ercyand good fruits, without partiality, and 1 ithr1ut hVJlr)rris.v''.OSTRACISM FOR LAW BREAKERS:God is not weary to fulfil ·His promise. But t·L. · h.t\ patience forsinners to repent. He does not want us to perish rather, He wants us tochange for the better. That is why He is patient with us.Flipping back to the scripture, a. king invited people for· feast;when the feast was going on, he. w.ent round to insp t his guests anddiscovered that, .one of the guests was not \vi th the proper garment- wedding garment for the occassion. The king questioned the personwhy he was not c.Jad "in the correct garment. Ipsofacto, the person wasord.ered out by the l1ost. This is exactly what will happen in thiskingdom. 1-('., .·.'.-·;· WHERE IS YOUR PRIDE IN SIN?:I wonder what is your mission in Brothe1 :: jt. 0f the Cross andStar, if you can not practise the word of G ; d. and- become righteous.You are aware of the fact that, the· angels will sep ate the evil · ; nesfrom the righteous. And you· are also ·aw.are that; no sinner will gounpunished. In spite of these scriptural .warnings, you still plungeyourself into abysmal sin. Where·lies·your pride·then?Nobody in this kingdom has ·the audacjty to do what he/she feels.Clearance must be sought for, before· anything is dqne· otherwise, youwill be sent out of the place·, although you m y still be·!a member ofBrotherhood of the Cross and Star.

Israelites are fro111 Israel, and not all the children of Abraham were histrue cl1ildren. I de not send you out of Brotherhood of the Cross andStar. Bt1t the far:t remains that, you will not be allowed into 34, Ambo.Street an d. 26, Mbukpa Roa.d, Calabar and the Holy Land, Biakpan.Y(lUR SINS HAUNT YOU:However, I do not ostracise you from Brotherhood of the Crossand Star Scl, you. can attend your 'Brotherhood' in any other church.In fa.ct, if you like, you can go back to secret society or any otherclandestine org,1rtisation, so that you can practise your evil acts, sincethere is no roon1 for evil here. And this is an indication of what thescripture stat s that:''A4 n(i vy: e know that we are of God, and the whole worldiieth· in "".Vickedness'' 1st John 5:19.If you. visit hospitals, prisons, streets and various homes, you willcor11e face trJ face with what sins cari do to people.

When sinners will start to reap the evil seeds theyh,ad· planted, they will regret their ignoble a:cts. What was the rewardof your forefathers who wallowed in sins? What good have those· whocommitted murder and other sins derived, that you would vow tocontinue in sins? You did not 111erit to be called into this kingdom,yet, you are called ·in by grace.

if you advise a.sinner two to three times to change fron1 .bis sinfulways and if he is still adamant, you sho11ld leave him for his waysbecause he has been overtaken by evil. Brotherhood of the Cross andStar is the place-meant for songs, joy, all goodness, merry making atall times. People will come from all parts of tt1e world to rejoice withus here because, this is the centre of the Universe. Ther·e is no roomfor anger, hatred or segregation, So, Brotherhoop of the Cross andfor Star is the place for perfect oneness.I .!I!THE REWARDING FATHER:This is a place where the Almighty God is worshiped in spirit a1jd intruth.
