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.

JAMES 1:19

“Wherefore, my beloved brethren,

let every man be swift to hear,
slow to speak, slow to wrath

BECAUSE CHRIST SAID, WHEN HE IS COME, EVEN THE SPIRIT OF

TRUTH, HE SHALL GUIDE YOU INTO ALL TRUTH AND SHALL REMIND
YOU ALL WHAT I HAVE TAUGHT YOU. ALL THESE WORDS ISSUE
FROM THE MOUTH OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. THIS INJUNCTION
IS MEANT FOR YOU AND THE ENTIRE WORLD. IT IS ALSO MEANT
FOR THE CHURCHES AND MANKIND. WE ARE TAUGHT HOW WE CAN
CO-EXIST IN PEACE AND HARMONY. PUT IT TO TEST. IF YOU DID
NOT PRACTICE THIS INJUNCTION STRIVE NOW TO PRACTICE IT.
*IF YOU SEARCH THE RECORDS AT GOSPEL CENTER VIVIDLY YOU
WILL DISCOVER THAT I HAVE DELIVERED THIS GOSPEL BETWEEN
1983 AND 1984 AND I GAVE AN INSTRUCTION THAT IT SHOULD BE
PUBLISHED AND CIRCULATED TO ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD SO
THAT PEOPLE COULD PUT IT INTO FERVENT PRACTISE. I had also
ordered a circular to be sent in that regard to all the inhabitants of
the world to go and settle their differences and make peace with
their enemies

 HIGHLIGHTS

Everyday you continued to recite that 'poem' and the 'verse'

"...easily given to anger." You find that your twenty or forty
years here count for nothing. I HAVE COME WITH AN
ANTIDOTE TO THAT PROBLEM. When you are angry and
you speak to somebody who perhaps does not hear you, and
just for that you become so much more angry.

* THE DIVINE SOLUTION TO ANGER:

A.NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS FEIGN
IGNORANCE:
Right from today what you have heard is the
solution to your problems: EVEN THOUGH SOMEBODY
STANDS BEFORE AND THREATENS TO KILL YOU, OR CURSES
AND ABUSES YOU, OR CALLS YOU A THIEF, YOU HAVE TO

LISTEN TO WHAT HE SAYS BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT DEAF. BE

SWIFT TO HEAR, SLOW TO SPEAK, AND SLOW
TO WRATH. IF YOU ENDURE IT AND LEAVE
THE PERSON, YOU MAY NOT REACH A FAR
DISTANCE WHEN THE WHOLE THING WILL
END.
………………………………………………………………………………………
……
B. Why does the second lesson say : "Wherefore, my
beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear,
slow to speak, slow to wrath?" THAT IS THE
PANACEA. HE HAS STARTED TO BLESS US. WHENEVER YOU
ARE ANGRY THE WORDS THAT PROCEED OUT OF YOUR
MOUTH ARE EVIL, AND YOU WILL LOSE YOUR SENSES; AND
WHATEVER YOU SAY AT SUCH A TIME WILL MAKE NO SENSE
AND IS USELESS. THAT IS HOW TO AVOID CONDEMNATION,

YOU SHOULD BE SWIFT TO HEAR, SLOW TO

SPEAK, AND SLOW TO WRATH, AND WITHIN TWO
MINUTES SUCH A THING WILL PASS AWAY AND YOU WILL
HAVE A PEACE OF MIND. IT IS SUCH A GOOD AND ENJOYABLE
THING TO DO.
………………………………………………………………………
……
C.TREAT ALL CURSES AND ABUSES WITH
LEVITY:
YOU WILL SEE WHAT WILL COME TO PASS IF FROM
TODAY YOU ARE SLOW TO WRATH. BY PUTTING UP
SUCH FACETIOUSNESS YOUR OPPONENT WILL BE
SURPRISED AND WILL SURRENDER WITH
CONTEMPLATIONS ON WHAT SHOULD BE THE CAUSE
OF YOUR SILENCE. BY THAT HE WILL START DOING
THAT WHICH IS GOOD, CONFESS HIS SINS TO YOU,
AND WHATEVER PROBLEM HE DID CAUSE WILL DIE
FOREVER. THAT IS WHY THE SCRIPTURE SAYS:
"WHEN YOUR ENEMY IS HUNGRY GIVE HIM FOOD
AND WHEN HE IS THIRSTY GIVE HIM DRINK; AND BY
SO DOING YOU HEAP COALS OF FIRE ON HIS HEAD."
YOU KNOW WHAT COALS OF FIRE ARE. AND WHEN
HEAPED ON SOMEBODY’S HEAD YOU ARE AWARE OF
WHAT IT COULD BECOME. IF YOU COOK AND

5
DISPLAY DISHES HERE YOU MAY NOT KNOW HOW
DELICIOUS THEY ARE.
THAT IS WHY IT IS SAID THAT "THE TASTE OF THE
PUDDING IS IN THE EATING." IF YOU GO AND PUT
INTO PRACTICE ALL WHAT I AM TELLING YOU,
GREAT TESTIMONIES WILL ABOUND FOR YOU.
………………………………………………………………………………………
……
1. WHEN MENTION IS MADE OF SATAN EVERYWHERE, THAT
IS NONE OTHER THING THAN ANGER. THAT WHICH SPOILS
THE WORLD IS ANGER. THE WOE THAT BETIDES MANKIND
TODAY IS ANGER. AT ANYTIME OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
GIVES YOU THE DISADVANTAGES OF SOMETHING HE WILL
NEVER FAIL TO GIVE YOU THE ANTIDOTE SO AS TO
OVERCOME ALL EVIL AND BECOME SAVED.
You have heard what our first lesson says that: "Whosoever
is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of
the judgement." There is nobody in this world who believes
that if somebody says woe unto you and your mother, that
such a man has put himself under the judgment of the
Sanhedrin.
2. WHOEVER IS NOT ANGRY HAS CHRIST:
BRETHREN, LET US FOLLOW AFTER OUR LORD JESUS
CHRIST BECAUSE HE IS THE ONLY CUSTODIAN OF LIFE, THE
ONE WHO KNOWS THE WAY AND THE ONLY PATH WHICH
LEADS TO SALVATION. THE WORLD HAS NO SOLUTION TO
THIS SINGULAR PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY ARE FILLED WITH
ANGER. THAT IS THE MAIN ARTICLE OF TRADE I HAVE
BROUGHT TO YOU.

3.IF YOU SEARCH THE RECORDS AT GOSPEL CENTER

VIVIDLY YOU WILL DISCOVER THAT I HAVE DELIVERED
THIS GOSPEL BETWEEN 1983 AND 1984 AND I GAVE AN
INSTRUCTION THAT IT SHOULD BE PUBLISHED AND
 CIRCULATED TO ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD SO THAT
PEOPLE COULD PUT IT INTO FERVENT PRACTISE. I had
also ordered a circular to be sent in that regard to all the
inhabitants of the world to go and settle their differences
and make peace with their enemies.

4. BRETHREN, DO NOT ALLOW ANY PERSON TO LEAD YOU

ASTRAY. AS SOON AS YOU REJECT CHRIST AND HIS
TEACHINGS, REALIZE THAT THERE IS NO OTHER WAY FOR
YOU TO GO, AND BY SO DOING YOU ARE COVERED WITH
DARKNESS. THE REASON WHY THINGS HAVE TAKEN THE
SHAPE THEY ARE NOW WITH THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD IS
BECAUSE THEY HAVE REJECTED CHRIST AND HIS
TEACHINGS. THIS THING IS NOT DERIVABLE FROM
EDUCATIONAL WISDOM, OR ONE’S INTELLECT: OR IS IT
CONSIDERED IN TERMS OF LENGTH OR BREATH; BEAUTY OR
HANDSOMENESS OR WEALTH. IT IS THE WISDOM OF GOD.
THIS THING IS FULFILLED ACCORDING TO THE WORDS OF THE

PROPHECY. IT HAS BEEN PREDESTINED ALREADY

THAT CHRIST IS THE ONLY LEADER. IT IS
HIMSELF ALONE WHO CAN LEAD US TO THE
ACCURATE WISDOM OF THE TRUTH. NEITHER MAN
NOR ANGEL THAT CAN LEAD HUMANITY. FROM ADAM
TILL ETERNITY IT IS CHRIST HIMSELF ALONE WHO
KNOWS THE WAY, WHO LEADS AND HE IS THE
SAVIOR; HE IS THE PROTECTOR AND THE TEACHER.
APART FROM HIM THERE IS NO OTHER PERSON.
IT IS JUST LIKE SOMEBODY WOULD SAY THE CHAIRMAN
OF AN OCCASION OR THE PRESIDENT OF A CLUB; IF YOU
WANT TO KNOW THE CHAIRMAN OR PRESIDENT OF ALL
EVIL THINGS IT IS NONE OTHER THAN ANGER. ONCE YOU
7
 ARE ANGRY IF YOU PLANT ANY CROP IT WILL NOT HAVE
GOOD YIELDS; IF YOU WISH YOU MAY EXPERIMENT THIS AND
IF CARE IS NOT TAKEN THAT CROP MAY NOT GERMINATE AT
ALL BUT WHERE IT DOES, IT WILL NOT BRING FORTH GOOD
YIELDS.
5. ORIGIN OF ANGER: TRACEABLE TO OUR FIRST
BROTHERS
What cause Cain to kill his brother (Abel)? Is it not anger?
God accepted Abel’s sacrifice and not his (Cain’s), and
because of that Cain got infuriated. Abel’s wife was more
beautiful than his wife that was also the reason he killed his
brother. If you are not angry can you commit sin?
6. "Father, forgive them for they know not what they
do." Because of this statement, you are all forgiven
because you were ignorant of what you said and did.
I have long forgiven every person; I give my warm
embrace to every person at all times, because you
have not committed any sin .

FIRST LESSON: ST MATTHEW 5:22

But I say unto you, that whosoever is angry with his brother
without a cause shall be in danger of the judgement; and
whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca shall be in danger of
the council:
but whosoever shall say, thou fool, shall be in danger of
hellfire.”

SECOND LESSON: JAMES 1:19

“Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to

hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.”

GOLDEN TEXT: ST. MATTHEW 18:21-22

“Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my
brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, until seven times;
but until seventy times seven.”

INTRODUCTORY SONG

“Jesus the way, the truth and the life, whosoever believes in
him shall never die.”

BRETHREN, DO NOT ALLOW ANY PERSON TO LEAD YOU

ASTRAY. AS SOON AS YOU REJECT CHRIST AND HIS
TEACHINGS, REALIZE THAT THERE IS NO OTHER WAY FOR
YOU TO GO, AND BY SO DOING YOU ARE COVERED WITH
DARKNESS. THE REASON WHY THINGS HAVE TAKEN THE
SHAPE THEY ARE NOW WITH THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD IS
BECAUSE THEY HAVE REJECTED CHRIST AND HIS
TEACHINGS. THIS THING IS NOT DERIVABLE FROM
EDUCATIONAL WISDOM, OR ONE’S INTELLECT: NOR IS IT
CONSIDERED IN TERMS OF LENGTH OR BREATH; BEAUTY OR
HANDSOMENESS OR WEALTH. IT IS THE WISDOM OF GOD.
THIS THING IS FULFILLED ACCORDING TO THE WORDS OF THE

PROPHECY. IT HAS BEEN PREDESTINED ALREADY

THAT CHRIST IS THE ONLY LEADER. IT IS
HIMSELF ALONE WHO CAN LEAD US TO THE
ACCURATE WISDOM OF THE TRUTH. NEITHER MAN
NOR ANGEL THAT CAN LEAD HUMANITY. FROM ADAM
TILL ETERNITY IT IS CHRIST HIMSELF ALONE WHO
KNOWS THE WAY, WHO LEADS AND HE IS THE
SAVIOR; HE IS THE PROTECTOR AND THE TEACHER.
APART FROM HIM THERE IS NO OTHER PERSON.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OTHER CREATIONS AND MAN AND
CHRIST:
This explains why it is said that God created man in his
own image and after his likeness. What does “his
own image” in that statement stand for? That refers to the
reasoning faculty given to mankind. The fishes, animals and
other creations have instinct but they do not have the
reasoning faculty. The explanation is that if per chance you
find a fish in our midst, intuitively it will know that human
beings are in this house. The same thing is applicable to an
animal. If an animal gets into a place where people gather it
will instinctively know that human beings are there.
The only thing left is that it will not know what to do and
save itself. The fish or animal is aware that it is going to be
caught but how to escape the ordeal, it will not know nor
what to do and save itself. The fish or animal is aware that it
is going to be caught but how to escape will be the problem.
Fishes and animals do not have this thinking faculty and they
are not given by God. It is a pity that it has to be like that. Of
all creations of God including human beings the only person
who has this wisdom is our Lord Jesus Christ.
Right now all of us are aware of the fact that anger is not
good. But the problem is how and what can you do to stop
getting annoyed. Nobody seems to know how to go about it
now. Moses himself got angry, the rest of the patriarchs got
angry and so on and so forth until this day. We all are aware
that anger is not good and that our present predicament is
caused by anger. Then what will man do to free himself from
this helpless situation? No man knows and there is no angel
who knows how to get about it. What has brought problems
into the world? Is it not anger? THE UNTOLD HARDSHIP
YOU FIND IN THE ENTIRE WORLD IS TRACEABLE TO
ANGER. ALL WHAT YOU HAVE HEARD THAT PEOPLE ARE
QUARRELING, FIGHTING AND KILLING THEMSELVES; THESE
THINGS ARE CAUSED BY ANGER. THERE IS NO OTHER THING
THAT CAUSES THESE PROBLEMS EXCEPT ANGER. WHEN YOU
11
ARE ANGRY YOU DO ALL KINDS OF SHADY AND ABOMINABLE
THINGS. IT IS ANGER WHICH IS SATAN. THE QUESTION NOW
IS: WHAT IS MANKIND TO DO IN ORDER TO REMOVE HIMSELF
FROM THAT STATE OF ANGER?

ANGER GIVES BIRTH TO PREDICAMENTS

OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST HAS PUT ACROSS HIS QUESTIONS
BEFORE US AND HAS PROVIDED ANSWERS TO HIS
QUESTIONS. HE DOES NOT FAIL TO TELL YOU ADVANTAGES
AND DISADVANTAGES OF ANYTHING. IF YOU LIKE IT IS
FINALLY LEFT FOR YOU TO EITHER TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT.
THERE IS NOBODY WHO KNOWS THAT HIS MAIN PROBLEM
AND THAT WHICH TROUBLES HIM IS ANGER. DEATH, LACK,
SICKNESS, PROBLEM, DIFFICULTY, HATRED AND OTHER
THINGS EMANATE FROM ANGER AND ANGER IS THE KEY
WHICH UNLOCKS THE WAY FOR THESE CALAMITIES TO
BEFALL YOU.
IT IS JUST LIKE SOMEBODY WOULD SAY THE
CHAIRMAN OF AN OCCASION OR THE PRESIDENT OF A
CLUB; IF YOU WANT TO KNOW THE CHAIRMAN OR
PRESIDENT OF ALL EVIL THINGS IT IS NONE OTHER
THAN ANGER. ONCE YOU ARE ANGRY IF YOU PLANT ANY
CROP IT WILL NOT HAVE GOOD YIELDS; IF YOU WISH YOU
MAY EXPERIMENT THIS AND IF CARE IS NOT TAKEN THAT
CROP MAY NOT GERMINATE AT ALL BUT WHERE IT DOES, IT
WILL NOT BRING FORTH GOOD YIELDS. IF YOU GO TO THE
MARKET WITH YOUR ARTICLES WHILE YOU ARE ANGRY
NOBODY WILL COME AROUND TO ASK WHAT THEY COST, NOT
EVEN A FLY WILL SETTLE ON IT. WHEN YOU ARE ANGRY,
SOMEBODY CAN STAND BY YOU TALKING BUT YOU WILL NOT
HEAR AND AT SUCH A POINT YOU CANNOT EVEN SEE WELL.
IF SOMEBODY GREETS YOU, YOU WILL NOT HEAR; AND
BECAUSE YOU DO NOT HEAR YOU WILL THINK THE PERSON IS
CURSING YOU AND YOU WILL GET ANGRY INSTANTLY,
ASKING WHETHER HE IS CURSING YOU; WHEREAS THE
PERSON HAS GREETED YOU.

WHEN YOU ARE ANGRY YOU ARE USELESS

WHEN YOU ARE ANGRY IF YOU GIVE SOMEBODY ADVICE
AND IF HE ABIDES BY YOUR ADVICE HE WILL PERISH. TO
START WITH, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR ANYBODY TO ADHERE
TO YOUR ADVICE. And once you are angry you become
a dead person, anything you touch becomes dead; in
fact you become totally paralyzed. It is for that
reason the whites say: "Anger is a short madness."
There is nothing to compare to any angry man. A mad
man is better than an angry man. A DRUNKARD FOR
THAT MATTER IS BETTER THAN AN ANGRY MAN. THAT IS
WHAT HAS KEPT THE WORLD IN THE STATE IT IS IN TODAY.
It is pathetic therefore, to find that people in this fold still
shamelessly stand out to confess their sins thus: "I am easily
given to anger." Everyday you continued to recite that 'poem'
and the 'verse' "...easily given to anger." You find that your
twenty or forty years here count for nothing. I HAVE COME
WITH AN ANTIDOTE TO THAT PROBLEM. When you are angry
and you speak to somebody who perhaps does not hear you,
and just for that you become so much more angry. If
somebody greets you, you will think he is wishing you ill-luck.
At that juncture you do not see well again, you experience
pains all over your body; you become troubled and
impoverished. AS SOON AS YOU ARE ANGRY, YOU MAY
DISTRIBUTE YOUR PROPERTIES TO PEOPLE. It may not end
there. You can go ahead and declare publicly who you are,
13
and what goes on in your family, saying everything and
disgracing yourself before people. While you are angry people
may go into your house and plunder all your goods. And
anytime you are angry you are useless.
We are seeking for long life, peace, money and all good
things, but what is the solution to getting those things. What
causes such a problem of lack is anger. AS LONG AS YOU DO
NOT REFRAIN FROM ANGER THINGS MAY NOT BE WELL WITH
YOU. YOU HAVE HEARD THE PANACEA WHICH I HAVE GIVEN
TO YOU TODAY. When anger will start its work on you, it is at
that time you will say it is a ghost, or suspect somebody and
threaten killing him with a gun, out of that same anger. You
can even try your hands on concoction and diabology. THERE
IS NOTHING EVIL WHICH ANGER CANNOT DO.
If somebody tells you that anger can bring anything good to
any man tell that person that he is a deceiver. Anger cannot
do anything good to anybody. All that anger does is to spoil
all that had been made good already.

ELIJAH ACTED BADLY BECAUSE OF ANGER:

What caused Elijah to pray and cause the rain to cease for
three years and six months? It was anger that did that. During
that time there was not even a drop of rain and people died
and the survivors suffered untold hardship. Why did Elijah
pray and call on God to send down fire to consume the
Israelites? It was because his place of worship had been
tampered with, and out of that anger he acted the way he did.
Why did he pray that fire should consume all those who
worshiped the god of Baal? That was also caused by anger.
WHEN MENTION IS MADE OF SATAN EVERYWHERE, THAT IS
NONE OTHER THING THAN ANGER. THAT WHICH SPOILS
THE WORLD IS ANGER. THE WOE THAT BETIDES MANKIND
TODAY IS ANGER. AT ANYTIME OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
GIVES YOU THE DISADVANTAGES OF SOMETHING HE WILL
NEVER FAIL TO GIVE YOU THE ANTIDOTE SO AS TO
OVERCOME ALL EVIL AND BECOME SAVED.
You have heard what our first lesson says that: "Whosoever
is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of
the judgement." There is nobody in this world who believes
that if somebody says woe unto you and your mother, that
such a man has put himself under the judgement of the
Sanhedrin. Nobody also knows that by saying to somebody
thou fool, that he has put himself under the punishment of hell
fire. Do you know this? Like you will find some people do,
somebody will keep a chair this way and sit down, and his or
her opponent will do likewise; both of them go on abusing and
cursing themselves. Don’t you know that you are dead and
there is no life in you? At times you find somebody hale and
hearty but he is told that he is anaemic. WHAT IS
RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT EXCEPT ANGER? WHOEVER IS GIVEN
TO ANGER IS OVERWORKING HIS MIND AND INCREASING HIS
BLOOD PRESSURE. IF YOU ACT IN THIS MANNER IT MEANS
YOU ARE DEAD, BECAUSE YOU WILL SUDDENLY RUN SHORT
OF BLOOD.
ANGER IS SATAN
BRETHREN, IT IS BECAUSE I AM SYMPATHETIC WITH YOU
AND THE WHOLE WORLD, THAT IS WHY I PREACH
CEASELESSLY TO YOU EVERYDAY. I MADE A STATEMENT
SINCE 14TH FEBRUARY 1942 THAT IF THERE IS ANYBODY
WHO WILL BE ABLE TO ANNOY ME I WILL GIVE HIM A
PRECIOUS GIFT. THAT STATEMENT HAD BEEN MADE LONG
AGO. BUT WHY IS IT THAT NOBODY IS ABLE TO MAKE ME
ANGRY. IT IS BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT ANGER CAN DO; THERE
IS NO OTHER SATAN THAT EXISTS APART FROM ANGER. IT IS
15
NOT MAN, SNAKE OR STONE WHICH IS SATAN. IT IS ANGER
WHICH CONSTITUTES SATAN. THERE IS NEITHER CHARM,
JUJU, DIABOLOGY, GHOST NOR MERMAID. IT IS ANGER
WHICH BRINGS ABOUT ALL OTHER EVIL THINGS. THAT IS
WHY WHEN SOMEBODY WANTS TO ELIMINATE YOU HE WILL
FIRST OF ALL CAUSE YOU TO BECOME ANGRY SO THAT HE
CAN GET YOU; AND ONCE YOU ARE ANGRY IT MEANS YOU
ARE FINISHED. IF SOMEBODY INTENDS TO COMMIT YOU INTO
DOING EVIL, THE FIRST THING HE HAS TO DO IS TO GET YOU
ANNOYED. The moment he sees you, he will bark out: "Get
out, you rogue!" Immediately he says that, you become
exasperated. If you have a matchet with you, you will cut off
his head. At times when somebody dies people will accuse
you of being the killer. At such a point you become greatly
angry. That is how the problems start. By so doing it means
you are dead. That is the only way things happen in the world.
You are called a robber, witch and evil doer, let that person
kill you if he is able. HE MAY CALL YOU ABOMINABLE NAMES,
AND YOU ARE DOING YOUR BUSINESS WITHOUT SAYING A
WORD. WHATEVER HE SAYS IS NOT INSCRIBED ON YOUR
BODY. EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE CALLED A LIAR, IF YOU ARE
HAPPY AT THAT PARTICULAR TIME, YOU WILL NOT EVEN
HEAR WHAT THE PERSON SAYS.

ANGER IGNITES CHARACTER ASSASSINATION

Why is it that if man or woman live in one house as husband
and wife, if per chance they are no longer together one will
publicly speak against the other. What has caused that? Is it
not anger? You are unhappy because that man has driven you
out of the house. The person will curse and abuse you in the
manner you least expected. She will call you thief, apparition,
and will tell people that you threatened to kill her with your
witchery powers and that is why she had to take her exit to
save her life. Whatever she says is not true. She is angry that
is why she says all sorts of nonsense. After all, did such two
people not stay for twenty years before the divorce? That is
why when somebody comes here to say what he does not
know I will tell him to calm down.
Like that reverend father who came the other day and
talked on similar issues and along the line he wanted to talk
about other subjects. I asked him whether he had forgotten
the fact that he went to school and was educated in Roman
Catholic’s schools and after that enrolled as a reverend father
in the Roman Catholic church. Why is it that this time you did
not see such things. Why do you say such things because your
eyes have suddenly been opened. We do not engage in that
kind of campaign. The government calls it provocation. They
design it and give provision for self-defence in their law book.

ANGER MAY PUSH YOU INTO KILLING

The law provides that if somebody threatens to kill you in
your house, if you are able to shoot him to death, it is self
defense; and it also says that if you catch somebody inside
your apartment making love with your wife, that you can kill
him. If you kill him will you be saved? You are told that if
somebody does anything to you, that you should pay him back
immediately. What they did to you would be termed
provocation. The only thing you know is to resist your
offenders and retaliate accordingly. By so doing, Satan has
overcome you. That is the only diabology which you know. The
question now is, if somebody offends you and you punish the
person or get him killed, are you saved by so doing? It means
the world does not have the panacea for this problem. That is
what you are taught in the world. You are taught that if
17
somebody offends you, you can arrange for him to be punished
or killed somewhere out of the sight of people. And I ask, are
you saved for doing such a thing? Even now, while you may be
going along the street somebody may saunter from nowhere
and start beating you up. At that point, it may be that your
relation, or cousin comes out to rescue you by beating the
person concerned thoroughly. May be he has beaten and
wounded the culprit. At that point the police will be invited
into the matter and it becomes a police case this time around
and your relation who tried to rescue you will be in for it. Why
did he do that?

WHOEVER IS NOT ANGRY HAS CHRIST:

BRETHREN, LET US FOLLOW AFTER OUR LORD JESUS
CHRIST BECAUSE HE IS THE ONLY CUSTODIAN OF LIFE, THE
ONE WHO KNOWS THE WAY AND THE ONLY PATH WHICH
LEADS TO SALVATION. THE WORLD HAS NO SOLUTION TO
THIS SINGULAR PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY ARE FILLED WITH
ANGER. THAT IS THE MAIN ARTICLE OF TRADE I HAVE
BROUGHT TO YOU. IT IS VERY ENJOYABLE. IF YOU DO NOT
GET ANGRY ANY LONGER YOU WILL BE TAKEN AWAY; YOU
WILL NOT SEE EVIL, HEAR EVIL OR DO EVIL AND WHATEVER
IS TERMED EVIL WILL NOT REACH WHERE YOU ARE. YOU DO
NOT EVEN KNOW WHAT EVIL IS IF YOU REFRAIN FROM
ANGER. AND YOU WILL ALWAYS BE JOYFUL AND ANYTHING
RELATED TO YOU WILL COME WITH ALL EASE. EVERYTHING
WILL COME TO YOU FROM ALL ANGELS ABUNDANTLY. AND
YOUR PATH BECOMES FLOURISHED WITH ALL GOOD THINGS.
WHEN YOU MOVE AND THOSE IN THE WORLD, UPON SEEING
YOU LAY CLAIMS THAT YOU ARE WITCH, WIZARD, GHOST AND
MERMAID. It is they who are wizards and witches not you. Do
not mind them. THE REASON WHY I GIVE YOU THIS GOSPEL
TODAY IS THAT ONCE YOU KNOW THE LOOPHOLES THROUGH
WHICH PROBLEMS COME, YOU WILL CAUSE THEM TO STOP.

AT ANY POINT IN TIME YOU CEASE TO BE ANGRY IT MEANS

YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEM AGAIN, YOU DO NOT SEE
ANY EVIL NOR LISTEN TO EVIL COMMUNICATIONS; YOU WILL
NOT COMMIT ANY EVIL NOR KNOW WHAT IS EVIL. IF YOU
ATTAIN THIS HEIGHT YOUR JOY WILL BE FULL AND YOUR
WAYS WILL BE OPENED. THROUGHOUT YOUR LIFE YOU WILL
LIVE AMIDST ABUNDANCE OF ALL GOOD THINGS OF LIFE;
THOSE WHO LIVE AROUND YOU WILL START TO ABUSE AND
ACCUSE YOU: THAT YOU ARE WITCH OR WIZARD, MERMAID
AND APPARITION, ETC. THEY WILL NOT REALIZE THAT THEY
ARE ALL THESE THINGS.
I HAVE BROUGHT THESE TEACHINGS UNTO YOU
SO THAT YOU COULD CORRECT YOUR ILLS AND BE
FREE FROM PROBLEMS. THE FACT IS THAT ONCE
YOU KNOW THE CAUSE OF ANY PROBLEM YOU WILL
BE ABLE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM EASILY. THE
PROBLEMS AND DIFFICULTIES AND ALL CALAMITIES
AFFLICTING MAN IS CAUSED BY ANGER. ONCE YOU
BECOME ANGRY IT MEANS YOU ARE DEAD AND
FOOLISH.

SECOND LESSON: JAMES 1:19

“Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to

hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.”

*THE DIVINE SOLUTION TO ANGER

19
NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS FEIGN
IGNORANCE:
Right from today what you have heard is the
solution to your problems: EVEN THOUGH SOMEBODY
STANDS BEFORE AND THREATENS TO KILL YOU, OR CURSES
AND ABUSES YOU, OR CALLS YOU A THIEF, YOU HAVE TO

LISTEN TO WHAT HE SAYS BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT DEAF. BE

SWIFT TO HEAR, SLOW TO SPEAK, AND SLOW
TO WRATH. IF YOU ENDURE IT AND LEAVE
THE PERSON, YOU MAY NOT REACH A FAR
DISTANCE WHEN THE WHOLE THING WILL
END.

WHENEVER ANYBODY DOES ANYTHING AND

IF PEOPLE MENTION IT, YOU HAVE TO PLEAD
WITH THEM NOT TO ALLOW THE PERSON
INVOLVE TO HEAR SO THAT HE MAY NOT
BECOME OFFENDED. YOU HAVE TO FEIGN
IGNORANCE OF THE WHOLE AFFAIR. AND
ONCE YOU REACH HIS HOUSE YOU GREET AND
EMBRACE HIM AND ASK FOR WHAT KIND OF
FOOD IS AVAILABLE AND THAT WHICH THEY
KEPT FOR YOU, BE VERY SOCIABLE AND
UNCONCERNED WITH WHATEVER HE DOES. IF
YOU PUT UP SUCH ACT AND COUNTENANCE,
AS SOON AS SOON AS YOU DEPART HE WILL
THANK GOD IMMENSELY BECAUSE YOU HAVE
NOT MENTIONED WHAT HE DID TO YOU. HE
THOUGHT YOU DID NOT HEAR. AND THROUGH
THAT WAY YOU DO NOT GET INTO TROUBLE
WITH HIM. YOU WILL EXPERIENCE PEACE,
JOY, AND HIS GUILTY CONSCIENCE WILL BE
WORRYING HIM. HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU
THINK SOMEBODY HAS TO DIE?

THE WORD IS LIKE A CHAIN: ONCE YOU FINISH ONE

STATEMENT ANOTHER WILL SURFACE; AND IF YOU CONTINUE
LIKE THAT YOU WILL MISS A LOT OF THINGS ALONG THE
LINE AND WILL EQUALLY FORGET A LOT OF OTHER THINGS.
IF YOU SPEAK FURTHER IT MAY REACH A STAGE WHEREBY
YOU ARE CALLED UPON TO DEFEND WHAT YOU SAID AND YOU
DENY HAVING SAID SUCH A THING. SUCH IS LIKELY TO
HAPPEN WHEN YOU ARE ANGRY. YOUR HEART IS LIKE THE
SOIL AND ANGER IS LIKE A SEED. IF YOU PLANT ANY CROP
OR A GRAIN OF MAIZE, WHATEVER HAPPENS IT MUST
GERMINATE. SO IT IS WITH YOUR HEART. BUT WHERE YOU DO
NOT PLANT ANY CROP OR SEED NOTHING WILL GERMINATE.
AND IN THE SAME TOKEN IF YOU ARE NOT ANGRY THERE IS
NOTHING THAT WILL CAUSE EVIL WORDS TO PROCEED OUT
OF YOUR MOUTH. That is why whenever you see or hear any
word and treat it with levity such a thing will die a natural
death and that spot will remain its grave. Right from today
and indeed in this year (1991) it is declared unto the whole
world, “Be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to wrath.”
21
TREAT ALL CURSES AND ABUSES WITH
LEVITY:
YOU WILL SEE WHAT WILL COME TO PASS IF FROM
TODAY YOU ARE SLOW TO WRATH. BY PUTTING UP
SUCH FACETIOUSNESS YOUR OPPONENT WILL BE
SURPRISED AND WILL SURRENDER WITH
CONTEMPLATIONS ON WHAT SHOULD BE THE CAUSE
OF YOUR SILENCE. BY THAT HE WILL START DOING
THAT WHICH IS GOOD, CONFESS HIS SINS TO YOU,
AND WHATEVER PROBLEM HE DID CAUSE WILL DIE
FOREVER. THAT IS WHY THE SCRIPTURE SAYS:
"WHEN YOUR ENEMY IS HUNGRY GIVE HIM FOOD
AND WHEN HE IS THIRSTY GIVE HIM DRINK; AND BY
SO DOING YOU HEAP COALS OF FIRE ON HIS HEAD."
YOU KNOW WHAT COALS OF FIRE ARE. AND WHEN
HEAPED ON SOMEBODY’S HEAD YOU ARE AWARE OF
WHAT IT COULD BECOME. IF YOU COOK AND
DISPLAY DISHES HERE YOU MAY NOT KNOW HOW
DELICIOUS THEY ARE.
THAT IS WHY IT IS SAID THAT "THE TASTE OF THE
PUDDING IS IN THE EATING." IF YOU GO AND PUT
INTO PRACTICE ALL WHAT I AM TELLING YOU,
GREAT TESTIMONIES WILL ABOUND FOR YOU. You
have heard and seen what the inhabitants of the
world have done. At times some people do question
rhetorically: “Does that man hear all these
blasphemies made against him?” Do I have to hear all
those things? I do not hear such things. If I may ask,
of all the accusations and blasphemies leveled
against Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, have they
ever been said against any other person in this
world? Should somebody try such a thing with the
secular people they would have quenched such a
person. All of you gathered here, there is none of you
when you did not come in here, who had a good
thought right from the scratch that what goes on
here is purely God’s affair. Has an angry man any life
in him? Does he see? Does he hear? What do you
think a dead person knows? Whoever is angry is in
the grave.

WHOEVER PICKS UP THE SWORD AGAINST ANOTHER

IS DEAD
Moses said whoever kills should be killed. Once
you are angry it means you have killed. And that
means you are finished. Our Lord Jesus Christ came
and said that it was not until you kill, but that
whoever is angry with his brother puts himself under
judgement. Therefore, it is not fair for you to be
angry at all. If you are angry the Holy Spirit runs
away from you and He will never come to his house
(your heart) again. And from the moment you are
angry that house has collapsed. The worst crime that
you can commit is to be angry.
As soon as you are angry realize that there is not life in
23
you. That is why when you are angry you cannot speak good
words nor see your way clearly: you cannot do anything at
such a level because the owner of the house has gone out and
you stand to be judged.
Those you find committing nefarious acts are devoid of the
Holy Spirit. Some are mad, others are filed with anger and by
so doing they kill the spirit in them. Why is it that when
people shout: “Thief, thief!” all those around will pick up
machetes and clubs and chase the said robber? Does it mean
that, that thief is carrying a matchet? It is anger that has
caused all the people to pick up machetes against that thief
and will shout: "kill him! kill him!" They are motivated by
anger to do these things.
BUT I TELL YOU THAT ONCE YOU PICK UP A MATCHET
AGAINST ANYBODY YOU ARE ALREADY DEAD. IF YOU
DISCOVER THE PRESENCE OF A THIEF IN YOUR HOUSE ASK
HIM. "BROTHER, WHAT WILL YOU EAT?" YOU HAVE TO ASK
HIM WHAT HE WILL EAT. AND QUICKLY PREPARE HIM FOOD
TO EAT. ASK HIM HIS PROBLEM; AFTER HE HAS TOLD YOU
HIS PROBLEM YOU HAVE TO FIND HIM SOME MONEY. HE WILL
RECEIVE THE MONEY WITH THANKS AND WILL BE SURPRISED
WHY YOU SHOULD BE SO INNOCUOUS TO HIM.

GIVE PEACE A CHANCE EVEN WHEN YOU ARE

RIGHT:
IF YOU FIND SOMEBODY WITH YOUR WIFE DO NOT BOTHER
TO BE VIOLENT NOR CAUSE TROUBLE WITH SUCH A MAN. THE
ONLY SOLUTION IS, ASK HIM WHAT HE WILL LIKE TO EAT OR
DRINK THEN SUPPLY HIS NEEDS AND DO NOT BE ANGRY
WITH YOUR WIFE EITHER. RATHER ASK HER WHAT SHE SHALL
EAT OR DRINK AND SUPPLY HER NEEDS ACCORDINGLY. IF
POSSIBLE WASH HER CLOTHES AND TAKE GOOD CARE OF
HER. WHEN SHE WOULD TRY TO APOLOGIZE JUST TELL HER
TO FORGET ABOUT SUCH A THING FOR THERE IS NO
PROBLEM ABOUT HER PRESENCE IN YOUR HOME. AND SUCH
A WOMAN WILL, OUT OF SHAME AND SURPRISE LOOK DOWN
ON HERSELF. YOUR HUSBAND WILL REMAIN SHY AND
SPEECHLESS. AND PEACE SHALL REMAIN IN THAT HOUSE;
YOUR HUSBAND WILL THEREAFTER EXTOL YOU TO BE A VERY
GOOD WIFE. THE TEACHING I IMPART TO YOU IS SUPERB AND
WONDERFUL. THE SOLUTIONS I HAVE GIVEN TO YOU ARE
WHAT I HAD TRIED MYSELF AND THEY WORKED LIKE MAGIC.

I am going to tell you this story which I have been telling

you, in regard to the Students Quarters. I did tell you
sometime that somebody came and struggled to obtain that
piece of land. Many people here in this fold are aware of that
fact that even the path that was here was created by that
man. I was not worried. The Holy mother was not worried. But
many members here were worried. He made some temporary
fence with sticks but members here went and uprooted those
sticks. He claimed ownership of that land but I told them that
nobody should get worried because there is a provision for
that by law. I sent the manager to him to tell him to make an
estimate of what he had spent on that land and I was ready to
pay him double. And when the man got to him he said he
would not do anything until he has written to his brother at
Kaduna. But before now he had started building on the land,
and the building had gone far, three months have passed, he
never wrote to anybody at Kaduna. And when I found out that
he was playing on our intelligence, I asked that he be allowed
to continue with his job. I told him: "I have dashed you the
land, the piece of land I have is sufficient unto me."
This man was a member of Apostolic Church. He said he
cannot come to Brotherhood. Pressure mounted to such an
extent that the people of Efut gave us £15.00 to sue the man
25
and pursue that case in the law court. But one of our brothers
told them that Brotherhood does not sue people to court. The
lawyer told them that if Brotherhood does not sue that man,
the people of Efut should sue Brotherhood and claim the land.
On hearing that I started dancing and expressing my joy
because I was ready for such things. I do tell you that I use a
life tortoise to consult my oracle. The things I teach you are
what I have practiced already. But to you it is difficult. I am
not telling you that this thing was done by Okon, or the other
one was done by Jesus or Mary but they are done by this
Olumba standing before you.
The man continued until the building reached a stage
where it was only doors and windows that were left to be
fixed. Many people who were here at that time saw that
house. Another thing that was left to be done was flooring.
One find day I sent for the man. When he came I blessed him
and gave him feast to eat. I asked him that if he had no money
to complete the building, he should let me know because I
was prepared to help him financially to complete the building
and if it means getting money from a member of Brotherhood
for him I will not fail to do that. I further asked him about
what he does for a living whether he was finding things easy
and if not so he should let me know. I told him that I have
dashed him that piece of land which belongs to Brotherhood
that we were satisfied with what we had.

When the man got home he sent somebody to go and tell

one sister called Eka Nne Ubo that whether he was going to
be killed he would not want that land again. The man said, as
the sister mentioned above later narrated: that he thought the
Holy Father was seeking audience with him via his call so as
to discuss how the issue of the land would be resolved, but
only to be told by the Father to take the land gratis. He said
that he does not want to get involved in the land issue nor
would he want the land again. He said that the Father should
take the land and offer whatever he was going to offer. That
was the end of the matter. I regard you to be big fools, mad
men and dead people. When I see you get annoyed I always
laugh at you because I realize that you are dead already. Do
you know that by being angry that you are dead? You all are
dead because you are angry. Let our first lesson be read. I do
not say that whosoever is angry shall die but is dead already.

JOY BRINGS GOODNESS - ANGER ATTRACTS

MISFORTUNE:
Before that time I was told I will not be able to acquire any
land at Ikeja (Lagos State) unless I go there by myself and
make concrete negotiations but I said firmly that I would stay
here and get a land at Ikeja. Immediately that man finished
his own another brother sprang up and dashed out a piece of
land. That was why I said since I have a mighty plot at Ikeja
that this other man should take his share. I gave thanks to
the Father and did not bother. I did that wholeheartedly
because I knew what it meant, I know the meaning and the
attendant reward which comes to whoever does not get angry.
That is what people refer to as "Obu’s mysterious witchery
power." Do you now know what is involved? I am not always
bothered because I know what the outcome of such events
will be and what will happen to you. I have no problem. That
is why since 14th February 1942 I made that declaration
nobody has challenged it. How could I become angry when I
know the attendant ills of anger. God forbids such a thing to
occur to me. Once you are angry you are finished. Read the
first lesson. This year I have to expatiate this gospel much
more than I have been doing in the past years, because the
27
gospels are in stages.

There is no disappointment or ill-luck in what I am telling you,

only if you will shun anger. If you are not angry you will meet
with success everyday of your life. If you continue to be angry
you shall meet with failures throughout your life. This gospel
further confirms that spiritual chorus you use to sing there
thus: “Olumba is a winner man... Satan is a loser-man." Let
the first lesson be read so that you may know your stand, and
that which kills you though you say it is witches, wizards,
fetishes and juju which cause your afflictions. Are your eyes
not opened by now?

FIRST LESSON: ST MATTHEW 5:22

But I say unto you, that whosoever is angry with his brother
without a cause shall be in danger of the judgement; and
whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca shall be in danger of
the council: but whosoever shall say, thou fool, shall be in
danger of hellfire.”

ANGER KILLS THE SPIRIT OF MAN

Of all the points indicated in that passage which one does
not connect with you, is there anybody in this hall who is not
a party to either of these three points? You curse people
indiscriminately. You say woe unto somebody, call others
fools and charge them to get away from you; meanwhile you
are doing these things with anger. If you are angry it means
you are a wanted person. Whosoever is angry is dead. I do not
say he shall die because he is dead already. If you say to
somebody thou fool, it means you have put yourself under the
judgment of the Sanhedrin; if you say to somebody woe unto
you, it means fire will consume you. As soon as you commit
these sins there is no room for forgiveness and you do not
need to beg for pardon. Even then, you will claim that
somebody has done one thing or the other to you. Nobody has
done anything to you. It is locally said that: "It is the mouth
of the monkey that kills the monkey." The Holy Spirit has
come to dwell with man, but each time he finds out that you
are angry he will go away from you for good. The only thing
which kills the spirit is anger. Anger impoverishes you, makes
you ugly, takes away your fortunes, and all good things that
would come your way are shattered and cast away: and God
will desert you completely. At such a level you do not have
any good thing in this life and the life to come because
already you are dead.

ORIGIN OF ANGER: TRACEABLE TO OUR FIRST

BROTHERS
What cause Cain to kill his brother (Abel)? Is it not anger?
God accepted Abel’s sacrifice and not his (Cain’s), and
because of that Cain got infuriated. Abel’s wife was more
beautiful than his wife that was also the reason he killed his
brother. If you are not angry can you commit sin? If you are
not angry you cannot tell lies, hate people, steal, fornicate,
curse and abuse, nor speak ill against people; at such a
status you will succeed in all what you do. If you advise
anybody on what he should do the person will be saved. This
is because God is at work. Peace and good things will abound;
growth, prosperity and wealth will be yours because the
Father is in you and you are in Him. Because of that no evil
will get nearer to you and you will have nothing to do with
sin. When you knock your forehead on the ground for God, you
receive grace; and when you kneel you receive peace.
29
 If you have been trying your hands on a certain woman and
she would not have your hand in love, do not worry yourself.
Any day you have the information that she is at loggerheads
with her husband, immediately submit your application to her
and at that point in time, it will stand approved because at
that time she is being threatened, you appear as another
lover. Immediately, she will be inclined towards accepting
you.

OUT OF ANGER MOSES BROKE THE TABLET OF TEN

COMMANDMENTS
Recall when Moses went to the top of the mountain to
receive the tablet containing the Ten Commandments from the
angel, and it took him forty days and forty nights to
accomplish that task. But on returning he found that the
Israelites had made unto themselves and worship another
god. What did he do? He forgot completely the rigors he
passed through to get the tablet but out of anger he broke it
into pieces. He was doing himself more harm than good.
Olumba is not like that. I am not so impatient. I have not
come to do such a thing. I am cool-headed in whatever I do.
When you get back home, may be you have your own Bible
separate from ours (according to you), read what Christ has
told you. You will find that the Lord Jesus Christ has told you
that whosoever is angry with his brethren is under judgment.
Moses said whosoever kills is under judgment; but Christ said
whosoever is angry with his brethren is a murderer.
Why does the second lesson say : "Wherefore, my
beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear,
slow to speak, slow to wrath." THAT IS THE
PANACEA. HE HAS STARTED TO BLESS US. WHENEVER YOU
ARE ANGRY THE WORDS THAT PROCEED OUT OF YOUR
MOUTH ARE EVIL, AND YOU WILL LOSE YOUR SENSES; AND
WHATEVER YOU SAY AT SUCH A TIME WILL MAKE NO SENSE
AND IS USELESS. THAT IS HOW TO AVOID CONDEMNATION,
YOU SHOULD BE SWIFT TO HEAR, SLOW TO SPEAK, AND SLOW
TO WRATH, AND WITHIN TWO MINUTES SUCH A THING WILL
PASS AWAY AND YOU WILL HAVE A PEACE OF MIND. IT IS
SUCH A GOOD AND ENJOYABLE THING TO DO.

AN ANGRY FELLOW IS LIKE A

LOADED GUN:
An angry man is likened unto a loaded and corked gun held
by somebody behind you, it can explode any time. To such a
person I cannot eat your food, nor sleep inside the same room
with you, because you are a decomposed dead body. MY LIFE
HINGES ON THIS ONE THING. THERE IS NOTHING SOMEBODY
CAN DO TO GET ME MOVED TO THE EXTENT OF BECOMING
ANGRY BECAUSE I AM AWARE OF THE ATTENDANTS ILLS OF
ANGER. I HAVE NO PROBLEMS AT ALL. I AM AWARE THAT
ANGER IS SATAN, BUT THAT YOU DO NOT KNOW YOURSELVES
THAT IS WHY YOU ARE ANGRY AT ALL TIMES. As soon as your
thing is better than that of a few other people they will
declare that you have concoction, juju or diabology. They will
say all sort of things against you, so as to detract and cause
you not to do good. This is only bitter jealousy by members of
the public. All what they are out for is to spoil that good thing
of yours. You do not have to mind such detractors.
Watch carefully, if a woman marries a husband only to be
divorced when she least expected nor was ready to quit. Such
a husband will get it hot from the woman. She will go round
telling people "0! I have left that reprobate, adulterer,
31
fornicator, he intended using me for rituals, he is a miser, I
am really saved now." She goes out to many places preaching
the same gospel. And I ask. Why did you stay in that house for
so long as twenty years and even when you discovered how
bad that man was?
You are only forced to say such fallacies because of anger
and such are vain babblings. Do not listen to such statement .
THAT IS WHY I HAVE NO REGARDS FOR ANY PERSON
WHO IS ANGRY. WHOEVER IS ANGRY I WILL PUT HIM
INTO FERVENT PRAYERS FOR GOD TO RE-INJECT
LIFE INTO HIM AGAIN BECAUSE HE IS DEAD
ALREADY. ANY TIME SUCH A PERSON WILL BE
PEACEFUL, CALM, QUIET, GENEROUS AND STAY
WITHOUT ANGER THINGS WILL CHANGE GRADUALLY
AND FINALLY TAKE GOOD FOOTINGS. IF MAN SHALL
BE FORGIVEN AND GIVEN SALVATION FOR
COMMITTING ANY OTHER TYPE OF SIN, WHOEVER IS
ANGRY SHALL HARDLY BE SAVED. ANGER IS THE
FLAG-BEARER OF ALL OTHER EVILS. ANGER IS THE
PRECURSOR OF OTHERS VICES. AND AS SOON AS
YOU ARE ANGRY WHATEVER YOU DO WILL NOT
BRING YOU ANY GOOD.

WHOEVER IS ANGRY IS SICK, BLINDED AND

WEAK
It is anger that pushes somebody into drinking. The
scripture says that wine should be given to the poor so that
they may drink and forget their woes. But those who take
drink believe that by so doing anger will be quelled. That is
not true. If you find somebody frolicking around, realize that it
is anger that causes him to do that; may be his wife is not
good to him and because of that he goes out to look for
another woman who may give him peace. In spite of all what
he does he has no peace of mind. If you have a good wife then
you will not look for another woman, neither will you admire
any other woman. It will be a matter of each person going his
or her way and doing whatever they feel is good.
But lastly they will attribute the cause to witch, wizard,
ghost or fetish. None of those things is the cause. That is why
this gospel is given to you today. Do not doubt nor argue
because it is true and faithful. If you become angry and cause
people or say woe unto somebody all what you say will
boomerang. You are true witnesses to the fact that there is
no other person in this world who can deliver this type of
teaching to you. The whites do not know. This explains why I
refute the saying that the whites are civilized. If they were to
be civilized would they be angry? Would they produce and
pick up ammunition against others? The blacks as well have
not knowledge. If you reject the words imparted unto you
today realize that your twenty years in Brotherhood has no
meaning.
If you are angry realize that you are in danger, you can
neither receive any good from the hands of God nor enter into
this kingdom. Your dreams will be nightmarish; you would
always see evil and speak evil if you are angry and whether
the whole of this house, the world and the fullness thereof is
bestowed to you, you will shun everything. Your heart, eyes,
ears and other members of your body cannot instigate any
trouble on their own. The problem is caused by anger. Once
anger gets into your mind, other members of your body will be
shattered. Once you are angry even for one second, realize
that the charcoal is whiter and cleaner than your heart both
spiritually and physically. A great many people are not used
to anger; this explains why if they are infuriated they will
33
become completely emaciated, sick blind and weak. Brethren
I do not intend to take you far even though we are moving a
bit further. The solution has come now.

BE CAUTIOUS OF WHAT YOU SAY

Right from this hour, whether it is your wife or husband
who speaks or does anything; whether the church or any
person does anything; be swift to hear, slow to speak and
slow to wrath. If somebody does anything and you hear it
swiftly, feign ignorance and do not vex. Such attitude works
like magic and that matter will die a natural death. At such a
point you triumph and become exalted.
And so brethren, 1991 brings about prosperity, love,
upliftment, changes, glories and wealth unto the inhabitants
of the world. I tell you vehemently that from this year you will
practice the word or God. You will only be swift to hear, and
slow to wrath. When somebody does something, instead of you
to overlook what he does, you publicly tell him: "Look at what
you have done, wait and see what will happen." May be after
saying that, the following day that person dies. What will be
your fate. All the people who heard you say such a thing will
confirm that you are the cause of that person’s demise. It
becomes absolutely difficult to save yourself from this type of
problem. Moreover, when something happens in your
compound, may be your house was burglarized; the police will
ask to know whom you have suspected, if there was
somebody who had vowed to deal with you, you will point at
him as somebody suspected to have burglarized your house.
And the police will arrest him. But if you do not bandy words
with anybody, if you do not get offended nor quarrel with any
person, who will suspect you in such a circumstance? Where
you are not found wanting in making careless speeches and
pick up quarrels then nobody will have cause to suspect you.
It is anger and the words we speak that keep us where we
are. Whether you are angry or not, do you know what you say?
Your mouth is not locked; that is why you say whatever you
like. Because you do not mind what speech you make before
people, your foe will use your words and set trap for you.

HE WHO TALKS MUCH TELLS A LOT OF LIES

Sometimes you go to somebody’s house and say: "One day I
will set this house ablaze." But miraculously one day that
house is set on fire. Who do you think will be suspected? All
the people who heard when you made that statement will
stand as witnesses. May be you made such statement out of
anger but it came to pass; what would you say in defense of
yourself? And truly speaking you are the cause of that fire
outbreak because by saying that you will set the house on
fire, that word has manifested. This explains why you cannot
escape the aftermath. Whoever is given to speaking restlessly
is meant to tell a lot of lies. The fact is that by the time he
finishes talking he has forgotten a lot of what he said
initially. Hence he tells lies. But if you do not speak at length
you will not tell many lies. By talking too much you sell out
yourself through the words of your mouth, because you will
tell everybody our secrets and reveal it unto friends, and
before you know it, you have disgraced yourself.
Brethren, all injunctions given by God lead to life eternal.
That is why you are charged from today that you should be
swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to wrath. At times
somebody may open up talks with you. Maybe he wants to
betray you, and will say a lot of things before you. But the
little response you give by saying a few things, you find
yourself where you did not expect. Sometimes it may end you
35
in jail. A great many people have fallen prey to those type of
people.

ESCHEW FLIPPANCY
Take this kingdom into consideration, somebody has been
indebted to you, and has been deceiving you. Maybe you have
a friend in this kingdom too. You complain to him thus: "look,
that your brother has so deceived me, he owes me some
money and does not want to defray his debt." The person you
complain to will ask for his name and when mentioned, he will
say: "Leave such a person, he is nobody in BCS, even the
Father does not want to see him." And the man will retort
thus: "No wonder he has behaved that way with me." Off he
goes, And before you know he will start at the door post
calling the name of the person, Ikwo! have you heard what
Okon has said about you; that the Father does not want you at
all; that you have been excommunicated from Brotherhood. At
that moment you will see that the fire has been ignited and
fight will ensue.
You cannot deny that you did not say it. After all you did
say it. That same person will tease both of you: "O! so you do
not have love in your fold for one another? Why should that
man behave that way, why should he report you to me." At
such a point will the man he met first not become
exasperated? In the end there will be a fight. That is why the
Bible tells you to be swift to hear but slow to speak. Right
from today whether you like it or not your mouth and heart
has been put under lock and key and are properly controlled.
You will not be flippant nor be angry any longer. You are
God’s children, that is why you should leave everything unto
the Father. These two phenomena have caused a lot of
problems in the world. I do not intend to take you long let our
golden text be read . THIS IS WHY I TELL YOU THAT
OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY WAY;
AND YOU HAVE THE WAY HE GIVES THE FINAL
SOLUTION WHICH TAKES AWAY THE
PROBLEMS CAUSED BY ANGER TO MANKIND.
THIS IS THE FINAL PANACEA TO ALL YOU
PROBLEMS.

GOLDEN TEXT: ST. MATTHEW 18:21-22

"Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my
brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, until seven times;
but until seventy times seven."

DO NOT IMPUTE SINS TO PEOPLE:

Have you heard that? That is the only remedy which
brings to us salvation. But when you are offended by any
person, do not impute sins to him, do not be angry, this is
what Christ teaches you. This explains why he said: "It is
finished." From the time our Lord Jesus Christ crucified the
flesh and its lusts on the cross, it is not wise that anybody
should be angry any longer. If you do not look unto anything
as evil and sinful then you are free. If you are free when
would you have time to be exasperated, talk at random, jeer
at somebody, lend ears to evil talks nor hear such obscene
statement at all.
What caused anger? It is when you begin to find faults in
people, when you impute sins to people and disagree with

37
what somebody does, then you will be troubled at heart. But if
you do not find faults in people’s life, will you have cause to
be angry? The Creator is here. He has created his things and
has kept them where they belong. The Son is here. He has his
own angels. What business do you have with God’s scheme of
things. Whatever somebody does must you not intrude. You do
not have to be angry with anybody because all the things you
find in the world are good. Do you know that to impute sins to
anybody that you have committed the sin worthy of death?
and your sins are greater than that of that man? Christ said to
Peter: "I say not unto thee until seven times, but seventy
times seven." Who is he that can offend a fellow man for so
many times in one day? Christ has not told you to be angry
when somebody offends you. Even though you can endure until
the time specified realize that the extent of your forgiveness
is inexhaustible.
Christ said though the mouth of Apostle Paul: "I do not
know what justifies me, nor do I know what condemns me but
does not justify me; but do not prejudge till the Lord comes,
who will reveal what was hidden to all." Do not find faults in
people; do not impute sins to others; and once you impute
sins to people your heart will be troubled, and that is what
brings about anger.
YOUR ANGER DEPICTS A SECOND CRUCIFIXION OF
CHRIST:
Did he not say on that eventful day on the cross of Calvary:
"Father forgive them, for they know not what they do." As God
had forgiven us, we have to forgive one another as well. God
has forgiven all our shortcomings; we have to forgive one
another. Do not impute sins to people. Whatever somebody
does to you, do not look at it as sinful and then will you be
victorious. What offence has the other person committed that
you have not committed more? All of us are boasters, angry
people, liars, trickers, haters, juju doctor, necromancers, and
we do all sorts of things and see ourselves better than others.
We claim that when we do any good to anybody we are paid
back with the wrong coin. All of us anchor our complaints on
this same thing, and thereafter declare that nobody loves us.
If we impute sins to one another it means we do not believe in
God. And because we do not practice the word of God we
incur the wrath of God on ourselves. As you see me here, I
have never known what is called evil or sins; I do not see it
nor do it, and I do not impute sins to anybody. If I were to
impute sins to you, will there be anybody left here?
90If you are angry it means you have crucified our Lord
Jesus Christ a second time, hence you do not believe that he
died for the remission of our sins. He propitiated on behalf of
all sinners so that sins could not be imputed to any person.
You claim to be Christians, yet you are imputing sins to
somebody and gossiping about him; what sort of Christian do
you think you are? From today if you forgive one another as
the Lord forgives you, anger, problem and other predicaments
will desert you and peace shall remain with you as it remains
with me.
It is said that one stroke of the cane is sufficient to the wise.
I do not intend to take you any further. He that has ears let
him hear. May God bless His Holy Words. AMEN!

THANK YOU HOLY FATHER.

39
EXCERPT ON FORGIVENESS:
If I may ask, have you completely forgiven those who
have offended you? This is the laid down principle in the
kingdom of God. This is why Our Lord Jesus Christ
taught us to pray thus..
"...forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who
trespass against us." Are you sure you have forgiven
those who have trespassed against you? Forgiveness is a
condition for salvation.
We are advised to do to others what we desire them
to do to us. A lot of people want to be forgiven of their
sins, but have they forgiven those who sinned against
them? Have they reconciled with their adversaries? I
want answers to these questions because there is no
salvation without forgiveness. The statement, "God
helps those who help themselves" is a popular saying
amongst you. The statement is applicable to this
situation. You must first save yourself if you want God
to save you. All the inhabitants of the world are enjoined
to adhere to this admonition so that they may be forgiven
by God. It is imperative that you forgive your offenders
no matter the gravity of offense committed against you.
When rendering prayers for your forgiveness, you
should also ask for forgiveness for your adversaries.
Anybody who has not forgiven his offenders but pleads
for forgiveness from God invariably wants his sins
multiplied by God. On the other hand, you are sure of
salvation when you plead with God to forgive you after
you have forgiven your adversaries, in the name of Our
Lord Jesus Christ.
 From this gospel, have you seen the display of God's
infinite love for His creation by revealing these profound
mysteries to all and sundry? As a reciprocation of this
divine love for man, you are enjoined to adhere to the
Father's teachings. Your refusal to practice the gospel
of forgiveness had before now been the source of your
numerous problems, and you will continue to be plagued
with problems if you do not heed this divine admonition.
The law of forgiveness is irrevocable. Whoever does
not forgive his brother cannot be forgiven because the
measure you give is exactly the measure you will
receive. Brethren, you will be forgiven if you heed these
words of advice by forgiving anyone who has wronged
you. Sin is not counted against those who forgive their
fellow men.
THE ONLY GATEWAY TO SALVATION IS
FORGIVENESS. NO AMOUNT OF PRAYER AND FASTING
WOULD REDEEM YOU FROM PREDICAMENTS, IF YOU DO
NOT FORGIVE YOUR OFFENDERS.
The soul of those who shall perish and those who
have already perished are answerable to their damnation
because they were unable to practice the gospel of
forgiveness. It is a natural law that your sins are
multiplied anytime you count the sins of others who have
committed sins against you.
This gospel of forgiveness was first practiced by Our
Lord Jesus Christ. The fact that he was the first person
to practice it, confirms His prayer to the Father while he
was on the cross.
He prayed thus:"Father, forgive them for they know not
41
what they are doing." Stephen also said a similar
prayer when he was stoned to death. See Acts 7:59-60.
These examples are meant to be emulated by the
children of God. You should not expect apologies from
your offender, rather forgive them wholeheartedly and
also beg God to forgive them. You should not count sins
against any person because by not counting sins against
them, you will be saved. It is true that there is no
repentance in the grave, and so if you continue in
sinfulness, you will surely perish. Therefore this sermon
on forgiveness is what every child of God is expected to
put into practice. You are informed that by your
utterances, you would be judged. Any sin that you
commit against any person is exactly what will
committed against you.
On the one hand any moment you forgive another
man his transgression, you will equally be forgiven of
your sin. On the other hand if you allow any grudge to
remain in your mind by merely pretending to hand
everything over to God you will perish at last.
The significance of the celebration of the world
feast and the great call to all preordained children of
God, is an exhibition of God's love for humanity and His
forgiveness, redemption and reconciliation of all
creatures to Himself. This unprecedented weeklong
World Feast Celebration centers around forgiveness.
Has it occurred to you in all these ages that you
wallowed in sin to express penitence for such
sinfulness? Rather than being remorseful, you have
persisted in imputing sins to your brothers.
 I do not intend to overburden you, but I strongly
believe that you have assimilated this admonition so that
you would not say you were not aware of it. Take
particular note of today in order that you would not shift
the blame to anybody when the reward for refusing to
adhere to this advice is meted out to you.
Beloved, I reiterate these words of advice to you:
YOU HAVE TO FORGIVE YOUR BROTHER NO MATTER THE
NUMBER OF TIME HE OFFENDS YOU AND HE PLEADS FOR
FORGIVENESS BECAUSE BY OUR UTTERANCES WE ARE
EITHER CONDEMNED OR JUSTIFIED. THIS GOSPEL IF
FROM THE ALMIGHTY GOD AND IT IS THE KEY TO THE
KINGDOM. THE VARIOUS HARDSHIPS AND DEATH THAT
BEFALL PEOPLE ARE THE RESULT OF MAN'S REFUSAL TO
FORGIVE OTHERS OF THEIR TRANSGRESSION.
CONVERSELY, THE FREEDOM GRANTED MANY COMES
FROM THEIR ACCEPTANCE TO FORGIVE THOSE WHO
OFFEND THEM. THIS POINT CONFIRMS THE EXTENT OF
GOD'S VALUE FOR HIS WORDS.
When you throw a stone at somebody and you
pretend not to have done so, this is the time for
judgement. You must have heard that God will judge the
world. So whoever forgives his offender is bound to be
forgiven and granted salvation. But if you insist on
imputing sins on others, you will perish. It is advisable
for you to set a trap for a pig with tuber of wateryam
rather than allow it to get into the wateryam barn.
Therefore, you should wholehearted forgive your
offenders so that the Father will draw near to you and
bring salvation to you.
43
 Beloved, a stroke of the cane is enough for the wise.
Let he who have ears, hear what the Holy Spirit has
imparted to the whole world.
May God bless His Holy Word, Amen.
THANK YOU HOLY FATHER
 THE CHILDREN OF GOD ARE
PEACEMAKERS
FIRST LESSON: ST MATTHEW 5:9
"Blessed are the peacemakers; for they shall be called
the
children of God."

SECOND LESSON: ST. MATTHEW 18:15-16

"Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go
and tell him his fault between thee and him alone? If he
shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. But if he
will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more,
that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word
may be established."

GOLDEN TEXT: ST. LUKE 17:3-4

"Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother offend against
thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. And if he
trespass against thee seven times, in a day, and seven
times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou
shalt forgive him."

This is a very short anecdote that we are going to

give to you. You are true witnesses to the fact that the
words read out to you are the spoken words of Our Lord
Jesus Christ whom you claim to know. These words are
not spoken by man but by Christ and God himself. All
those who are the children of God are peacemakers. The
children of God do not cause trouble; they are not angry;
they do not quarrel with anyone and they are very plain
45
and polite. The children of God are not trouble makers;
they are not confusionists; they do not backbite; they do
not tell lies; they do not steal and whatever situation will
generate trouble the children of God are unconnected
With it. How can you be a man of God when you are
already a trouble maker? Why do you call yourself a man
of God or a church goer when actually you are still suing
people to court? How are you a child of God when you
refuse to reproach somebody who offends against you,
but goes to plot evil against him? Our Lord Jesus Christ
has shown us the shortest cut. Because he was peace-
loving, He stayed in peace with us and with peace He
taught the entire world to be peaceable with all men. He
rules the world with peace. You cannot be a child of God
if you are not a peacemaker. That is why it is said,
blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the
children of God.

WHEN YOU ARE OFFENDED REBUKE, REPROACH AND

FORGIVE

At any point in time you discover that you have offended

somebody, do not be too shy to approach him. Go to him
and confess and beg for forgiveness; tell him you have
offended him, and that he should forgive you. If you carry
out this advice it is more blessed to you and you are a
child of God. The children of God do not harbor people in
their minds; they do not begrudge; they do not blaspheme
against any person; they do not frown; they do not
quarrel and they are plain and open-minded. If you offend
somebody you have to go and address him curtly,
confessing and begging that he should forgive you. By so
doing you are free. It is made known to us today what the
children of God means. The children of God are
peacemakers. You are also told the channel through
which you should pass and become a child of God. If your
brethren offend you, go and meet him alone at his
domain, point out his fault to him. Do not send words
through people to him; do not curse him; do not make evil
plans against him; do not get angry with him; but meet
him face to face and sort out things amicably. That is
what God has charged us to do. Do not pass the
information to him through somebody, do not inform him
of his offence by writing a letter; do not keep mute and
do not harbor the matter in mind. Do not get angry, but
go and meet him alone. Do not go there in company of
any person. Meet him alone and settle your scores. If you
are a true child of God that is how you should live.
When you are offended do not report your offender to any
person; do not begrudge him; do not get angry; do not
make any comment at all; do not impute sins on him. But
the first and foremost thing is for you to go and meet him
alone and point out his mistakes to him. As soon as the
person will realizes his offence and repents, you have to
forgive him. That is the lifestyle of a man of God. This
advice is for you, myself, all the churches, the
governments and mankind, in order that we may practice
and live in peace with one another.
He has not sent this advice to women or men or infants
or adults, Israelites or Greeks, Jews, blacks or whites,
etc. alone, but this injunction is meant for all mankind
and the angels, so that we may practice and become
worthy children of God, and live in peace without
quarrels and in-fighting. We have to live in peace as He
has kept us. That is His divine instruction. If we do not
abide in peace with all men it means we are not the
children of God.

47
THE CHILDREN OF GOD ARE PEACE
LOVING

If you are living with somebody, may be your wife,

and you have offended her. You will find that instead of
her to approach you and tell you what you have done, she
will prefer reporting you to a third party outside the
matrimonial home. She may decide to get angry or
quarrel with you. In spite of these behaviors, it is this
same woman who will pick up the Holy Bible on Sunday
and leave for the church. What sort of church is she
attending?
The husband does the same thing. The same thing takes
effect in families, churches, and villages and between
friends, etc. If you were to live in peace with people
what would have brought about court action and the idea
of suing people to Court? If this thing does not exist we
would have lived in peace and harmony with one another
and we will be worthy children of God.

You can attest to the fact that our Lord Jesus Christ
was out-spoken generally. At any point anyone went
wrong he would reproach him. He was plain and treated
every person with justice and fair play. People hated him
because he pointed out their errors to them. Others loved
him because he reproached many and sundry, so that
they may change to God. All those who are the children
of the world do not like to be reproached whenever they
go wrong. The children of the world do not love peace. If
you come across anybody who makes peace, realize that
he is a child of God. But the children of the world do not
welcome peace. Brethren we do not intend to take you
far, let our first lesson be read.
First Lesson: St. Matthew 5:9

"Blessed are the peacemakers; for they shall be called

the
children of God."

ALWAYS REPENT AND BE FORGIVEN

This explains why he tells us not to be angry with our

brethren. Do not say to somebody, woe betide you. Do not
say to any person, thou fool. If you bring your gift before
the altar and rememberest that you have fought against
your brother, leave your gift there, go and reconcile with
your brother before you come and offer your gift. You
have heard that blessed are the peacemakers. Go and
make peace with your enemy while you are on the way.
Because you are still on the way now and it is not yet
dusk. If you and the entire world should hearken to this
injunction and go to make peace things would have
changed. Go and confess to those you have offended
knowingly and unknowingly.
IF YOU SEARCH THE RECORDS AT GOSPEL CENTER
VIVIDLY YOU WILL DISCOVER THAT I HAVE DELIVERED
THIS GOSPEL BETWEEN 1983 AND 1984 AND I GAVE AN
INSTRUCTION THAT IT SHOULD BE PUBLISHED AND
CIRCULATED TO ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD SO THAT
PEOPLE COULD PUT IT INTO FERVENT PRACTISE. I had
also ordered a circular to be sent in that regard to all the
inhabitants of the world to go and settle their differences
and make peace with their enemies. Whether somebody
offended you knowingly or not, whether you offended
somebody, go and settle such issue amicably with your

49
foe and let there be peace. It is blessed unto the
peacemakers. We are children of God and we have to
make peace. There is no time left, for anybody to commit
sin any longer. What sort of feud is it that two of you
cannot settle it peaceably between yourselves? What
sort of offence have you committed that you cannot be
forgiven? Do not be ashamed of going to confess before
somebody you have offended that he should forgive you.
At any time you offend against anybody beg to be
forgiven. This is because a man of God seeks after
peace. Always seek after peace for the brethren, the
churches, the villages, the governments, etc. because
blessed are the peacemakers since they are the children
of God. A confusionist is not a child of God.

CHRIST WAS PEACE LOVING

When our Lord Jesus Christ arrived at a certain

place where his disciples gathered, he asked Peter, who
are those demanded to pay tax by the collectors? Is it
the strangers or the indigenes? Peter replied that tax
was demanded of the strangers and Christ said to Peter,
so that we may not offend them, arise, get the hook and
go to the river, the first fish you will catch open its
mouth and you will find money; bring out the money and
pay our tax. This shows how peaceful he was. He did not
want any trouble.

DO NOT OFFEND YOUR LANDLORD OR

TENANT

If you are occupying somebody's apartment pay your rent

accordingly. If you cannot pay your rent pack out of
somebody's house to avoid trouble. In other words, if the
money is not within your reach for the time being you
have to go and plead with the landlord or landlady to
bear with you for sometime, pending when you will settle
with him or her. As a man of God, if your tenant owes
you, get close to him and appeal curtly to him to pay the
accumulated rent installments. That is the way a man of
God should behave. A man of God is not expected in this
circumstance to sue his tenant to court or report him to
people or send written messages, or send the information
through a third party. If you behave this way it means,
you have derailed from the way of God and are not a
child of God. That is why this unique gospel is sent to
the entire world this morning. It appears that the
inhabitants of the world have forgotten the divine
injunctions; that is why you are given this precious
package today. BECAUSE CHRIST SAID, WHEN HE IS
COME, EVEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, HE SHALL GUIDE
YOU INTO ALL TRUTH AND SHALL REMIND YOU ALL
WHAT I HAVE TAUGHT YOU. ALL THESE WORDS ISSUE
FROM THE MOUTH OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. This
injunction is meant for you and the entire world. It is
also meant for the churches and mankind. We are taught
how we can co-exist in peace and harmony. Put it to test.
If you did not practice this injunction strive now to
practice it. I am making this declaration from the highest
heaven that you should go to

51
your foes and make peace with them because you are a
child of God. If any of your brethren offends against you,
go to him, point out his mistakes before him. If he should
repent, forgive him; by so doing you have saved him.

THE CHILDREN OF GOD DO NOT COMMIT SIN

The children of God are peacemakers and they are

not to commit sin. If you commit sin you are no longer a
child of God. If you are angry you are not a child of God.
If you do not forgive one another you are not a child of
God. If you bear malice you are not a child of God.
Because the children of God are peace-makers, and they
look forward to seeing an atmosphere where people
abide in peace, love and unceasing tranquility. If we
have not done any other thing, from today, having heard
this gospel you have to strive to practice it. If you
hearken to this gospel you shall receive peace and shall
be a child of God. The names of the churches you attend
do not matter, the name you bear, your body
pigmentation, and wherever you are does not matter. But
if you practicalize this gospel it means you are a child of
God.

THE GOVERNMENT ALSO LEARNS TO FORGIVE

Even in the government offices and other secular

arrangements, you reserve no right to punish any of your
subordinate or junior staff when he goes wrong.
Whenever somebody offends it is given that you have to
serve the person a query pointing out the offence he has
committed; if he should be sorry for what he has done,
you have to forgive him. The operations of the
government of the day is expected to go strictly
according to the promptings of God; the medical doctors,
lawyers and other professionals are also expected to
follow suit. If people were to follow these guidelines
there would have been no problem in the world. That is
why in the government before anything is done a notice
to that effect is given to you. If you cannot participate as
was notified, you are queried. When you explain fervently
to the clarity of the authority concerned you stand free.
This explains why there must be a lawyer to defend you
when you are sued to court. You have the right to argue
your case in the court. If the government should grant
such right to its citizens to defend themselves, what
would you a man of God do to any of your brethren who
offends against you? Should you refuse to talk to him, or
be angry with him; or should you map out dangerous
plans against him? Even with all these acts you claim to
be a child of God. Realize that you are not. Since we call
ourselves the children of God, let our second lesson be
read so that you may realize the duty expected of you,
myself and the entire world to carry out.

Second Lesson: St. Matthew 18:15-16

"Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go

and tell him his fault between thee and him alone? If he
shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. But if he
will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more,
that in the month of two or three witnesses every word
may be established."

PREACH TO ALL TO ABIDE IN PEACE

Have you now seen what makes you a child of God. If

53
somebody trespasses against you and you tell him his
offence it means you are a man of God. All the children
of God behave that way. They do not begrudge; they
cannot judge any person and they do not plan evil
against any person. No matter who trespasses against
you, whether your father, mother, brother, sister, uncle,
auntie, kinsman etc, tell him his error and if he should
hear, forgive him.
This explains why our Lord Jesus Christ said through the
mouth of our brother Paul, whenever any of the brethren
trespass against thee reproach him before the people so
that others who would have gone into the same path may
withdraw. That is why Christ said, they hated me
because I rebuked their evil ways of life. You are true
witnesses to the fact that what I am telling you now is
what is going on in the world. You have to go into various
church denominations, prayer houses, governmental set
ups; go to individuals and show to all the people their
mistakes. If they should repent it means they are saved.
There is no other court of justice apart from what you are
hearing. We are anxiously questing for peace in the
world. The highest court is the presence of God. If your
brethren trespass against you, do not send a messenger,
do not even get angry. Walk gently to where he is and
greet him politely. Put his mistake across to him without
a third party listening to two of you, resolve the peace
between yourselves. That is the duty of a child of God.
Have you seen me having any problem with any person at
all? I am outspoken at all times. Whenever you go wrong
I will tell you and that is the end of it.

ABHOR MALICE, BUT WITH PEACE RESOLVE

ALL FEUDS
 If you have not practiced any other gospel endeavor
to practice this gospel. There is no room for all the tricks
and prangs you are trying to play. There is no room for
such little gossips and anger you are used to. All the
fellowships must practice this gospel also. I am making
this declaration from the highest heaven that you should
go and practice this gospel. Forget about bickering,
frowning, craftiness, bearing of malice, etc. If you do
these vile things you are not a man of God. A man of God
does not behave so unseemingly. THE WORK OF GOD IS
THE WORK OF PEACE AND THE CHILDREN OF GOD ARE
EXPECTED TO ABIDE IN PEACE. BECAUSE OUR LORD
JESUS CHRIST WAS PEACE LOVING AND HE TEACHES US
PEACE AND HOW TO CO-EXIST PEACEABLY WITH ALL
MEN. We must learn from Him how to live in peace and
harmony, because no matter what you possess if you
have not peace it means you are not a child of God and
you have nothing in common with him.
Sometimes what you harbor in mind as the bone of
contention may later be discovered as a less important
issue which has no substance to have provoked your
anger. Or it may also be that the other person has not
offended you after all. When somebody offends you take
it kindly. Do not hate him, do not send any letter to him;
do not send a messenger. But approach him and speak to
him peacefully and resolve the matter amicably, because
it is more blessed to the peacemakers for they are the
children of God.

REUNION CAUSED BY PEACE SETTLEMENT

I want to use an earthly situation to illustrate a

heavenly situation. There were once two kings. One of
55
them was a juju doctor while the other one was a chief
warrant officer in the court. A certain person went and
told the juju doctor that the chief warrant officer has
almost concluded arrangements to sue him to court. The
same person went to the chief warrant officer and hinted
that the juju doctor was seeking ways to kill him.
Because they were both ill-informed, both of them (the
chief warrant officer and the juju doctor) started fighting
a cold war with a bid to harm each other. They hated
each other to an extent that if one sees the other coming
he will save his life by disappearing into the nearest
wood and vice versa, so that one may not harm another.
They were plotting against each other ceaselessly. They
were not church goers. But one fine day, the chief
warrant officer readdressed himself thus, "Does it mean
that I may stay like this and suddenly that juju doctor
kills me for no just cause, what offence have I committed
against him?" One day he was filled with the spirit. He
rose and took a bottle of gin, and called one of his
servants to escort him to somewhere. He left as early as
5.00 am and set for the house of the juju doctor. On
reaching there, he tapped carefully at the door. When the
juju doctor heard the knock he responded by asking who
his visitor was. The chief warrant officer mentioned his
name. With great surprise the man inside the house
asked, have you brought policemen to arrest me in my
house? The chief warrant officer outside retorted, Are
you not seeking ways to kill me? I have come so that you
may kill me at once. He (the chief warrant officer)
continued, my brethren tell me that you want to kill me,
what have I done to you? And the juju doctor alarmed
from within replied, “It is that your brother who hinted
me that you have almost concluded arrangements to sue
me to court.” Have you now seen how the door of peace
was opened for the two kings to reunite? It is one person
who caused that great pandemonium between two of
them. At the end it became a thing of laughter and joy.
They sought to kill each other at first but finally they
resorted to peace making. Going to resolve peace with
somebody is a small matter. It is as simple as ABC to
settle peace with your offender if only you approach the
person directly. Everything is for a trial. If you practice
this gospel it means you have no problem. Right now
whatever type of offence somebody committed against
you go and reconcile with him and if he repents, forgive
him.

DO NOT BUILD YOUR FACT ON RUMORS

There are certain things people do without being

aware that they have offended you. The moment you
approach somebody peacefully and point out his errors
he will reappraise himself and repent of his mistakes.
There are certain things you will remind him of, which
people told him you he said, but he will deny grossly
having made such statements because he did not say
them.
The same thing is applicable in this kingdom. People
are blaspheming against Brotherhood. If you should go to
tell them the truth they will be sorry for themselves and
will beg you to forgive them because they were
misinformed. The evil one today causes all the gossips
and blasphemies prevalent in the world. As people are
accusing Brotherhood as being Beelzebub, apparition,
vampire etc, it is the duty of the Bishop, or Pope or
Reverend or any other person to walk boldly into this
place and ask, I am told you are worshiping Beelzebub,

57
where it he Beelzebub? That is the way a man of God
should behave. But unfortunately you remain where you
are and build your blasphemies on hear says and confirm
them to be true and thereafter you profess that you are a
man of God. What manner of man of God are you? Face
the fact squarely. Do not build your declarations on
rumors. When Paul heard that Peter was eating
things sacrificed unto idols and mermaids and because of
that Barnabas ate with him, Paul went to Peter to find
out things for himself. Peter was with our Lord Jesus
Christ during his eartly ministry, while Paul was not;
neither did he know him whether he was a black or
white. Peter stayed with Christ, ate with him; and
moreover Christ handed the key of the gospel to him; the
same Peter ate of things sacrificed unto idols and
mermaid. Paul went from Antioch to Damascus to see
Peter and he rebuked and reproached Peter that he
taught people not to eat such things but he went
contrary to his own teachings. Because of this Peter
readdressed himself. That is the life style of a true
Christian. It does not consist in bickering or gossiping,
accusing or blaspheming. You have all seen the life-style
of the Father.

I CONSTANTLY DECRY YOUR EVIL WAYS

OF LIFE

I continue to decry your ways of life. Because

somebody may claim to be a Bishop but he is still
drinking, fornicating, putting on rings around all his
fingers and engaging in abomination . What I am telling
you is the truth. John the Baptist told King Herod that it
was wrong for him to marry the wife of his half-brother
and it was not advisable to do that, and he also told him
most of his deeds, which were not acceptable before the
sight of God. That is the duty of a man of God. It is said,
whoever knows that which is good and refuses to do, it
becomes evil to him.(James 4:17).
As we are here, even though the government
officials should come here, whether they be all Nigerians
or other Africans, I have to point out their mistakes for
them to correct themselves. Though I may do that I have
nothing against anybody. THE CHURCH IS NOT EXPECTED
TO BE AN ARENA FOR CONFUSION AND TROUBLE, AND
NO MAN OF GOD IS EXPECTED TO HAVE ANY NUT TO
CRACK WITH ONE ANOTHER. IT IS MEANT THAT YOU
CALL YOUR BROTHER TO YOURSELF AND ADDRESS HIM
COURTEOUSLY, POINTING OUT HIS MISTAKES AND
FINALLY SETTLE THE PEACE. There should be no anger,
or gossiping. We have to live peaceably with one another.
Heaven and earth and the fullness thereof belong to God.
All what is God's is ours, and all of us are brethren.
There is no problem. Let our Golden text be read.
GOLDEN TEXT: ST. LUKE 17:3-4

"Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother offend

against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
And if he trespass against thee seven times, in a day,
and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I
repent; thou shalt forgive him."

A CHILD OF GOD SHOULD ALWAYS SEEK TO

KNOW WHY HE IS OFFENDED

Have you heard that? Have you practiced what is

read to you? You profess that you are a man of God. That

59
is the duty of a child of God. If your brother offends
against you, rebuke him, and if he repent, forgive him.
And if he should offend against you seven times in a day
and seven times turn again to you, saying, I repent, you
have to forgive him. You do not have to do anything. It
does not require court action or punishment of any kind.
You do not have to report him to any person. You have to
carry out this injunction because we are peace loving
people. But yet you claim to be a man of God, or a
communicant, or pastor, bishop or church founder etc;
and when somebody offends against you, and he repents
and prostrates on the ground begging you to forgive him,
but you swear never to forgive him. By so doing, what
type of churchgoer are you? Which God are you
worshiping? What manner of man of God are you if you
cannot forgive one another. You find that somebody may
offend against the church, instead of the authorities of
that church to sort our things amicably with their
member, they will rather excommunicate or suspend him
from the church. And I ask, from where have you derived
this type of teaching. Do not listen to one side of the
story but always seek to know the bone of contention of
both parties. Whenever you are told that a particular
person said this or did that, it is your duty as a child of
God to go and tell him his errors; if he should repent
forgive him. The children of God must live peaceably with
all men. A man of God must be peace-loving and must
decry all things that could lead to trouble. Christ had
never sued any person to court; he hated no person; but
he taught us be peaceable with all men.

"GO AND SIN NO MORE"

Because He is God he does not seek to know what a
particular person is, because he knows what man is. That
is why when the people brought a certain woman caught
in the act of adultery to our Lord Jesus Christ and asked
him, master, this woman has been caught in the act of
adultery and the law of Moses demands that she should
be stoned to death, what sayest thou? IF CHRIST HAD
ORDERED THAT THE WOMAN SHOULD BE SET FREE THEY
WOULD HAVE ACCUSED HIM OF BREAKING THE LAW OF
MOSES. INVARIABLY IF CHRIST HAD TOLD THEM TO
CAST STONES AT HER, THEY WOULD HAVE MAINTAINED
THAT CHRIST ORDERED THEM TO KILL. BECAUSE HE IS
TRUTH AND HIS WORDS ARE TRUE, HE STOOP DOWN AND
BEGIN TO WRITE THE NAMES OF ALL THOSE PEOPLE,
THEIR SINS, AND THE DATES SUCH SINS WERE
COMMITTED. AFTER WRITING ON THE GROUND THEIR
SINS, HE LIFTED UP HIS EYES AND SAID TO THEM, IF
THERE IS ANY ONE OF YOU WHO IS WITHOUT SIN LET
HIM FIRST CAST STONES AT THIS WOMAN. WHEN THEY
LOOKED DOWN EACH MAN SAW THAT HIS NAME, THE
SINS HE COMMITTED AND THE DATES SUCH SINS WERE
COMMITTED WERE DISCREETLY WRITTEN AGAINST HIM,
HE LEFT QUIETLY. IN THAT WAY THEY ALL DEPARTED.
God is capable of revealing all hidden things. And Christ,
when he turned to the woman asked, Woman where are
thy accusers? She said, They have all gone. And Christ
asked again, have they not condemned thee? She said
Yes .
And Christ added, I have not also
condemned thee, go and sin no more.
That is the lifestyle of a man of God. When you are
offended, rebuke whoever trespasses against you. If he
should repent, forgive him and forget whatever he did. Do
not take any court action against him; do not harbor him
in your mind; do not impute sins on him, do not be angry
with him, do not punish him.

61
THERE IS NO SIN ANY LONGER :
You have to start a fresh new life. Forgive and
forget. Because we are children of God, we have to be
peace-loving. All what I am saying is for you. For myself I
am declaring from the highest heaven that I have no
problem with any person. I do not impute sins on any
person. Because it is written, "This is the covenant I will
enter into with the house of Israel after those days."
Christ came and propitiated on our behalf and as soon as
he said "IT IS FINISHED" NO SIN IS COUNTED FOR ANY
PERSON AGAIN. NO MATTER YOUR UTTERANCES OR
DEEDS I DO NOT IMPUTE SINS ON YOU, NEITHER DO I
QUERY WHAT IS IT YOU ARE DOING AND DEFINITELY
THIS NO SIN. I WANT YOU ALL TO CHANGE. IT IS SAID, I
WILL FORGIVE THEM OF THEIR SINS AND THEIR
INIQUITIES WILL I REMEMBER NO MORE. THEREFORE
YOUR SINS ARE NOT COUNTED FOR YOU. WHETHER YOU
CALL BROTHERHOOD BEELZEBUB, APPARITION,
VAMPIRE; OR YOU GIVE ALL SORTS OF NAMES TO OBU, I
DO NOT IMPUTE SINS ON YOU AND YOU HAVE NOT
COMMITTED ANY SIN IN EARNEST. CHRIST SAID, "IT IS
FINISH" BECAUSE OF THAT YOU HAVE TO FORGIVE
EVERY PERSON.
My sermon is directed to you who continue to find
fault with people. At one corner you will stay and gossip,
0! that man has done this or that to me. As of myself,
whatever you like to say against me you are free to go
ahead but what I know is that you have not committed
any sin.

THE GREAT CHALLENGE :

Since 14th February, 1942 I challenged the world that, if
there is any person in heaven or on earth who can cause
me to be annoyed I will give him a handsome reward. But
until today nobody has countered this challenge. What
would you say about somebody who speaks in this
manner? There is absolutely nothing you can do to annoy
me. Peter ask our Lord Jesus Christ, how many times
shall my brother trespass against me and I forgive him, is
it seven times? And Christ answered I have not said
seven times, but seven times seventy times. It means
that you should not impute sins on anybody. Whoever
imputes sins on any person, does he ever believe in
Christ? Why did he have to die on the Cross? He
propitiated so that we may not impute sins any longer on
one another. But now you are doing the contrary and yet
you profess, 0! Jesus, thou good friend of man! I charge
that you should shut up your mouth. As I have realized
the reasons for which he died, have you seen me
imputing sins on people? Christ died for the sake of our
sins. That is why whatever you do is termed good.
BOTHER NOT IF YOU ARE FALSELY
ACCUSED
Right from today whenever somebody trespass
against you whether seven or hundred times in a day,
rebuke him and if he repents, forgive him. Do not forget
that Christ said, "It is finish." IF YOU BELIEVE THAT OUR
LORD JESUS CHRIST CAME AND SHED HIS PRECIOUS
BLOOD FOR THE REMISSION OF OUR SINS, WHY DO YOU
CONTINUE TO IMPUTE SINS ON PEOPLE? If you approach
somebody and point out his mistake you are foiling his
subsequent misdeeds, which would have come up, but
not with any motive to declare him a sinner. As a man of
God when you are offended, you have to rebuke your
offender, if he repents, forgive him. If somebody trespass
63
against you do not bear grudge against him; do not even
impute sins on him; purify your heart as a child of God.
Be peaceable with all men. If there are people who
blasphemed or accused Brotherhood of having
perpetrated any evil act and later they repent but
expressed that Brotherhood will harm them in any way
because of their previous false accusations, I want you
to remember when Christ said, "Father, forgive them
for they know not what they do." Because of this
statement, you are all forgiven because you were
ignorant of what you said and did. I have long
forgiven every person; I give my warm embrace to
every person at all times, because you have not
committed any sin . The fact remains that since all the
innuendoes have nothing in common with my life style I
am not bothered in any way. And since all what you are
saying is not true, I develop cold feet towards your
blasphemy. If you are not a thief but somebody calls you
a thief, why should you be bothered? You do not have to
be worried, and you should be on good terms with every
body.
Brethren, one stroke of the cane is sufficient unto the
wise. We do not intend to take you further. He who has
ears let him hear. May God bless his Holy words. Amen.
THANK YOU HOLY FATHER.
