REVELATION 2:4-5
Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee,
because thou hast left thy first love.
Remember therefore from whence thou art
fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or
else I will come unto thee quickly, and will
remove thy candlestick out of his place,

TRUTH OF THE KINGDOM*RECALL THAT WHEN MOSES MOULDED A SERPENT AND HUNG IT ON
A TREE FOR THE PEOPLE TO LOOK UPON WHENEVER THEY WERE
BITTEN BY THE DEADLY SNAKES, IT WAS ONLY THOSE WHO OBEYED
THAT WERE SAVED AND THOSE WHO DID NOT WERE DESTROYED.
THEREFORE, IN THIS PRESENT AGE, OF THE MULTITUDE OF PEOPLE
WHO WILL LISTEN TO THIS GOSPEL AND COMPLY WITH IT ARE
SAVED AND THE LIGHT OF GOD SHALL SHINE
UPON THEM.
* RIGHT FROM THE TIME OF ADAM AND EVE MAN HAS NEVER
ACCEPTED GOD. MAN HAS ALWAYS GIVEN HIGH REGARDS AND
RECOGNITION TO MATERIAL THINGS. THAT IS A GREAT INSULT
TO GOD. WHOEVER ADVISES YOU NOW TO PUT YOUR
FAITH AND TRUST IN MAN IS ILL ADVISING YOU AND SUCH
A PERSON SHOULD PRAY FERVENTLY FOR HIMSELF.THE
SCRIPTURE HAS SAID THAT: NONE SHOULD HAVE FAITH IN
A MAN WHO BREATHS THROUGH HIS NOSTRILS. IS
IT NOT A GOOD TIME FOR MANKIND TO LOVE GOD,
TO OBEY AND ADORE HIM SO THAT PEACE MAY
ABOUND?
* Let mankind do whatever he pleases to solve his problems, but
instead of solving them, the problems would be compounded. Let a
man kill, steal, loot, indulge in idolatry, and initiate into various secret
cults, his problems will remain with him except he repents and follow
God. THE CREATOR AND OWNER OF HEAVEN AND EARTH IS HERE ON
EARTH QUIETLY WATCHING HOW ROGUES STRUGGLE FOR WHAT
RIGHTLY BELONGS TO GOD. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT GOD
WOULD RETIRE INTO HEAVEN ABOVE, LEAVING THE
VAST EXPANSE OF EARTH DESOLATE?

HIGHLIGHTS
1.THE REIGN OF THE HOLY SPIRIT:THIS IS THE ERA OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND HIS REIGN. HE HAS
COMPLETELY BROUGHT DOWN THE ACTIVITIES OF MAN. ALL
SHOULD STOP ROAMING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, SUFFERING AS IF
THE CREATOR IS NOT HERE WITH US. WE ARE NOT FATHERLESS.
WE HAVE A FATHER OF FATHERS, AN EVER CARING AND
EVER LOVING FATHER, IF ONLY WE OBEY HIM, ALL OUR
PROBLEMS WILL BE SOLVED. IT IS SHAMEFUL AND
UNTHINKABLE THAT MAN SHOULD RESORT TO WORSHIPPING LOGS
OFWOOD, STONES, AND OTHER THINGS CREATED BY GOD. HASJUJU EVER CREATED ANYTHING?
2. WE HAVE NO OTHER FATHER EXCEPT HIM. NO OTHER
THING CAN SAVE MAN, NOT EVEN THE ANGELS, APART
FROM GOD HIMSELF. If we forsake the things of this world right
now, become penitent of our sins and follow Him, then the Father will
accept us into his flock and grant us salvation.
3. THE ONLY WORTHY LEADER:
Politicians write beautiful manifestos and promise heaven and if voted
into power. But things become worse than ever before after being
voted because as soon as they assume duties, they set about pursuing
selfish programmes. None can better the lot of his fellow man except
God. If you ask me to choose or vote for any good person to lead the
world, I will have no choice, for there is no good person to be voted
for. GOD IS THE ONLY BEING, THE OWNER OF ALL GOVERNMENTS, IN
HEAVEN AND ON EARTH. I WOULD RATHER VOTE FOR THE FATHER.
4. The Jews regarded Christ as an evil man and troublemaker.BUT
GOD SAID HE WAS HIS BELOVED SON IN WHOM HE WAS
WELL PLEASED AND THAT THE WORLD SHOULD LISTEN TO
HIM (CHRIST).Of the two, the world and God, who is a liar? On
another occasion when they were well fed with bread and fish by the
Lord, the Jews were so pleased that they wanted to crown Him their
king. Knowing their plans, He departed from the area because such
8/2/2019 HE WHO IS TO RULE
6/21
exercise did not bring glory to God. He went away to advance the glory
of His Father.
5. Recall that when Moses moulded a serpent and hung it on a tree for
the people to look upon whenever they were bitten by the deadly
snakes, it was only those who obeyed that were saved and those whodid not were destroyed. THEREFORE, IN THIS PRESENT AGE, OF THE
MULTITUDE OF PEOPLE WHO WILL LISTEN TO THIS GOSPEL AND
COMPLY WITH IT ARE SAVED AND THE LIGHT OF GOD SHALL SHINE
UPON THEM.
6. RIGHT FROM THE TIME OF ADAM AND EVE MAN HAS NEVER
ACCEPTED GOD. MAN HAS ALWAYS GIVEN HIGH REGARDS AND
RECOGNITION TO MATERIAL THINGS. THAT IS A GREAT INSULT TO
GOD. WHOEVER ADVISES YOU NOW TO PUT YOUR FAITH AND TRUST
IN MAN IS ILL ADVISING YOU AND SUCH A PERSON SHOULD PRAY
FERVENTLY FOR HIMSELF. THE SCRIPTURE HAS SAID THAT: NONE
SHOULD HAVE FAITH IN A MAN WHO BREATHS THROUGH HIS
NOSTRILS. IS IT NOT A GOOD TIME FOR MANKIND TO LOVE GOD, TO
OBEY AND ADORE HIM SO THAT PEACE MAY ABOUND?

THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL:
HE WHO IS TO RULEFIRST LESSON: REVELATIONS 2:4-5
Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because, thou hast left
thy first love. Remember therefore from where thou art fallen, and
repent, and do the first works, or else I will come quickly, and will
remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
SECOND LESSON: MATTHEW 22:37
Jesus said unto him, thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy
heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
GOLDEN TEXT: LUKE 14:33
So likewise, whosoever he be of you that foresaketh not all that he
hath, he cannot be my disciple.
THE CAUSE OF HUMAN SUFFERING:
Beloved, the above text forms the summary of our Lesson. The people
of the world ask you daily about what the Father says.THIS IS THE
ANSWER TO IT THAT THE FATHER SAYS MANKIND SHOULD
REMEMBER THE POINT FROM WHICH HE HAS FALLEN, REPENT AND
CONTINUE IN HIS ORIGINAL GOOD WORKS ASSIGNED HIM BY HIS
CREATOR, OTHERWISE, THE FATHER WILL COME SOON AND REMOVE
THE CANDLESTICK OUT OF ITS PLACE.
A local adage has it that when the cause to a particular event is
forgotten, there is bound to be problems. When God created Adam and
Eve, were there anything like juju, fornication, eating of meat and fish,
8/2/2019 HE WHO IS TO RULE
8/21
snuffing, smoking, or the love for material things? Was there anything
like money?
Were there the various means of transportation as we have now? What
obtained at that time was the unconditional love for God. There wasno craving for materialism and the desire for evil. That is the original
love: "Loving the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul, and
with all thy mind." He is the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. He is
also the only one who cares for you. This explains why we have to love
and obey Him alone.
GOD HAS SOMETHING AGAINST US BECAUSE OUR LOVE FOR HIM
HAS WANED AND HAS RATHER DEVELOPED TOWARDS THE THINGS
CREATED BY GOD.THEREFORE, EXCEPT MAN RETRACES HIS STEPSBACK TO GOD, AND THE ORIGINAL LOVE FOR GOD, HIS PROBLEMS
WILL BE ENDLESS AND INSURMOUNTABLE BY HIM. MY SALVATION
AND THE SALVATION OF THE WHOLE WORLD IS DEPENDENT ON OUR
ADHERENCE TO THIS PIECE OF ADVICE. HE HAS MADE IT CLEAR
THAT HE IS A JEALOUS GOD. THEREFORE, THIS IS BEST TIME FOR
MAN TO REPENT AND TO RETURN TO HIS FIRST LOVE FOR GOD.
The Lord has warned that you should not love the world and the things
of the world for whoever loves the world has not the love of God in hisheart. The love that prevails in the world now is the love for food,
money, women, men, cars, buildings, and other material things. He had
promised to visit the iniquities of the parents on the children and their
children's children of the third and fourth generations of those who
hate and disobey Him. IT IS THEREFORE OUR DUTY TO LOVE HIM
ALONE. HE HAS ALSO ENJOINED US NOT TO HAVE ANOTHER GOD
APART FROM HIM AND NOT TO MAKE ANY GRAVEN IMAGE FOR
OURSELVES. That we should not worship anything created by man, nor
should we dine with idle worshippers.
Why do you submit yourself to the things of this world? Does it mean
that you were created by food, drink, roots, attire or any of the
material thing? Were you not created by God? We should have love for
him alone.
8/2/2019 HE WHO IS TO RULE
9/21
The problems plaguing the whole world, both whites and blacks are
traceable to man's disobedience and his lack of love for God. Whoever
fails to forsake materialism is heading towards destruction. Food itself
is like medicine. It is meant to be used and not to be worshipped. So
also are such things as clothing, houses, water, and other materialthings. Man is not expected to adore or love these things more than
God who created them. Except man divorces his love for material
things and sticks to his creator, man cannot have peace.
Do not worship stones, tree, trunk, root, or any other thing apart from
God. GOD LOVES MAN MORE THAN ALL ELSE; BUT MAN HAS DONE
NOTHING TO RECIPROCATE THE GESTURE. Man has divided his love
into various places, love for cigarette, women, shoes, men, drink,
politics, clothing, cars, and other things. Thus leaving God with none.You should ask yourself the reason why God who created the world
should turn round to warn man not to love the world nor the things of
the world. HE IS LIFE, THE BEGINNING AND THE END.
WE HAVE NO OTHER FATHER EXCEPT HIM. NO OTHER THING CAN
SAVE MAN, NOT EVEN THE ANGELS, APART FROM GOD HIMSELF. If
we forsake the things of this world right now, become penitent of our
sins and follow Him, then the Father will accept us into his flock and
grant us salvation.
BEWARE OF MATERIALISM:
Our Lord Jesus Christ made His position on materialism known when a
certain young man asked Him to persuade his brother to divide their
father's inheritance among them. He asked the young man who made
Him a divider and a judge between them. He went ahead to advise the
young man and others too to beware of covetousness for whatever a
man possesses, his life is not in his hands. HOW WOULD YOU FEEL,FOR INSTANCE, IF YOUR CHILD, WIFE, OR BROTHER, FORSAKES YOU
TO PREFER AND APPRECIATE THE THINGS YOU PROVIDE FOR
HIM/HER? MAN HAS TODAY BECOME AN OBJECT OF MEAN REPUTE
AND DESTRUCTION.
8/2/2019 HE WHO IS TO RULE
10/21
Man is ready to destroy his fellow man for the sake of food, money,
clothing, cars, land, shoes, and other transitory things. God's
injunction to man is for him to love his fellow man and that he should
not kill. But man has rather thrown such injunctions to the wind.
HUMAN FOLLY:
Man is such a shameless being. He hangs a piece of wood or metal
around his neck and finger for protection. If pieces of wood and metal
should be used for protection what then is the work of God, the
creator of all things? Have you forgotten what happened to the
children of Israel when they preferred and worshipped the image of a
golden calf made out for them by Aaron? God got offended and
destroyed them in their millions. That is why you are enjoined now not
to tempt your God as did the Israelites and were destroyed by thedestroyer.
If you call yourself a Christian, a Muslim, a Buddhist, or a Hindu, why
do you keep a big pot, bottle, or bury something in your inner room for
protection? Why do you go about with rings, amulet or talisman for
yourself protection? Do such things have life? Are stones, stick,
leaves, and other idols capable of giving life? They are rather
instruments of destruction. It is the worship of all such things by man
that incurs the wrath of God upon mankind. Food, clothing, idols, wine,shoes, and ointment cannot save man if God deserts him.
THE WORLD IS TODAY IN TURMOIL AND IF JUDGEMENT
SHOULD COMMENCE NOW, NONE WOULD BE SAVED. IT IS BECAUSE
OF HIS LOVE AND MERCY THAT HE HAS UNDERTAKEN TO REMIND US
ONCE AGAIN OF HIS INJUNCTION TO LOVE HIM AND KEEP HIS
COMMANDMENTS. IF YOU FAIL TO LOVE GOD YOUR CREATOR, FOR
WHAT PURPOSE THEN DID HE CREATE YOU? EXCEPT ALL THE
INHABITANTS OF THE WORLD RETRACE THEIR STEPS TO THEIR
CREATOR, THEY WILL CONTINUE TO FACE DISTRESS AND GNASHINGOF TEETH.
He has promised to remove the candle stand from its place if man
remains unrepentant. He has timely advised you to store your treasure
in heaven where thieves will not break into and moth cannot corrupt.
The treasures laid on earth are unprofitable. Let all your love be
centered on God and all will be well with you.
8/2/2019 HE WHO IS TO RULE

THE ONLY HOPE FOR MAN :
Recall that when Moses moulded a serpent and hung it on a tree for
the people to look upon whenever they were bitten by the deadlysnakes, it was only those who obeyed that were saved and those who
did not were destroyed. THEREFORE, IN THIS PRESENT AGE, OF THE
MULTITUDE OF PEOPLE WHO WILL LISTEN TO THIS GOSPEL AND
COMPLY WITH IT ARE SAVED AND THE LIGHT OF GOD SHALL SHINE
UPON THEM.
WHEREVER YOUR TREASURE IS, THERE LIES YOUR MIND. IT IS
FOR THIS REASON THAT YOUR DAILY SUBJECT OF DISCUSSION AND
INTEREST REST ON MONEY, JUJU, CHARMS, WOMEN, POLITICS,
CARS, CLOTHING, FOOD, AND OTHER MATERIAL THINGS. HOW THENWILL GOD BE PLEASED?
Read the first lesson again.
FIRST LESSON: REVELATION 2:4-5
Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left
thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and
repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly,and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
YOUR LIFE IS NOT IN YOUR HANDS:
Our Lord Jesus Christ told a parable to that young man who requested
Him to divide his father's inheritance with his brothers. He told the
young man that, there was once a rich man who stored plenty of food
in his barn and sought his soul to rest, eat, and be merry. At that same
night his soul was demanded of him by God. Christ asked him whoshall enjoy the food and wealth the rich man had stored. Such is the
fate that awaits all those who prefer the things of this world to the
love of God. Man has fallen short of the grace of God because of his
disobedience, his love for and pride in materialism.
8/2/2019 HE WHO IS TO RULE

People have forwarded themselves into governments, church
denominations, and other societies for the sake of acquiring material
wealth. INSTEAD OF DISCUSSING HOW TO OBEY GOD AND TO KEEP
HIS INJUNCTIONS, THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD MEET REGULARLY
ONLY TO TALK ABOUT HOW TO CHEAT AND HUMILIATE OTHERS,HOW TO LOOT THE TREASURY, DISTORT INFORMATION AND
MISLEAD THE PUBLIC. THIS EXPLAINS THE SEVERITY OF THE
CURRENT HARDSHIP ALL OVER THE WORLD.
Human beings are carnally minded and are disobedient. What is going
on the world is mere 'POLICE ACTION.' The worst is yet to come
except there is a change of heart by mankind. He is a jealous God and
so, He should not be provoked. It is written that:
Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it, except
the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. (Psalm
127:1).
THIS IS WHY THE PEOPLE WHO ARE KEPT AT THE HELM OF AFFAIRS
HAVE FAILED THE PEOPLE . NONE IS CAPABLE OF RULING OR
LEADING THE WORLD, NOT EVEN THE ANGELS ARE CAPABLE. UPON
ALL THE POLITICAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGES TAKING PLACE
ALL OVER THE WORLD, YET NONE HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL. GODALONE HAS THE KEY TO PEACE, AND SUCCESS AND PROSPERITY.
THE ONLY WORTHY LEADER:
Politicians write beautiful manifestos and promise heaven and if voted
into power. But things become worse than ever before after being
voted because as soon as they assume duties, they set about pursuing
selfish programmes. NONE CAN BETTER THE LOT OF HIS FELLOW
MAN EXCEPT GOD. IF YOU ASK ME TO CHOOSE OR VOTE FOR ANYGOOD PERSON TO LEAD THE WORLD, I WILL HAVE NO CHOICE, FOR
THERE IS NO GOOD PERSON TO BE VOTED FOR. GOD IS THE ONLY
BEING, THE OWNER OF ALL GOVERNMENTS, IN HEAVEN AND ON
EARTH. I WOULD RATHER VOTE FOR THE FATHER.

When the whites came to Africa they saw our people and everything
they did as crude and uncivilized. Therefore they had to replace all the
indigenous governments and institutions with theirs. Before long,
Africans began to protest against the colonialist and their system.
They agitated for independence. The struggle to free themselves fromthe yoke of colonialism and bondage intensified and many African
countries were later granted political independence. THE QUESTION
NOW IS, HAS THAT INDEPENDENCE BROUGHT PEACE AND PROGRESS
TO THE AFRICANS? HAS THE STRUGGLE FOR LIBERATION AND
DOMINATION CEASED?
There are coups and counter coups, secessions and tribal wars in
Africa in particular and in the world in general. Those either appointed
or voted into the various political offices have never lived up toexpectation. This is because they neither know God nor His laws. They
do not love Him. When a blind man leads another blind man, both will
fall into a ditch.
WE HAVE A FATHER AND A RULER WHO IS JUST AND CARING, YET
MAN HAS REJECTED HIM. HE IS THE ONE WHO HAS ENJOINED YOU
NOT CALL ANYBODY FATHER OR LORD FOR HE IS THE ONLY FATHER
AND LORD. WE ARE BRETHREN AND DERIVE OUR ORIGIN FROM HIM.
Christ said, "I am the vine, and my Father is the husband man. Everybranch in me that beareth not the fruit he taketh away; and every
branch that bearth fruit he purgeth it that it may bring forth more
fruit." (John 15:1-2).
One of our spiritual choruses rendered in Igbo has it that A TREE THAT
BLOSSOMS AND YIELDS GOOD FRUIT IS BEING WATERED BY
SOMEONE. THEREFORE ANYBODY WHO REFUSES TO RECOGNIZE HIS
CREATOR IS CONDEMNED.
Right from the time of Adam and Eve man has never accepted God.
Man has always given high regards and recognition to material things.
THAT IS A GREAT INSULT TO GOD. WHOEVER ADVISES YOU NOW TO
PUT YOUR FAITH AND TRUST IN MAN IS ILL ADVISING YOU AND
SUCH A PERSON SHOULD PRAY FERVENTLY FOR HIMSELF. The
scripture has said that: NONE SHOULD HAVE FAITH IN A MAN WHO
8/2/2019 HE WHO IS TO RULE
14/21
BREATHS THROUGH HIS NOSTRILS. IS IT NOT A GOOD TIME FOR
MANKIND TO LOVE GOD, TO OBEY AND ADORE HIM SO THAT PEACE
MAY ABOUND?
There is nothing anybody can do for his fellow man. When Pilate askedChrist a series of questions before His crucifixion, He rebuffed when
Pilate told Him that he power to either set Him free or condemn Him.
He retorted that Pilate himself had no authority to do anything except
such power was given to him from above.
The Jews regarded Christ as an evil man and troublemaker.BUT GOD
SAID HE WAS HIS BELOVED SON IN WHOM HE WAS WELL PLEASED
AND THAT THE WORLD SHOULD LISTEN TO HIM (CHRIST).Of the two,
the world and God, who is a liar? On another occasion when they werewell fed with bread and fish by the Lord, the Jews were so pleased
that they wanted to crown Him their king. Knowing their plans, He
departed from the area because such exercise did not bring glory to
God. HE WENT AWAY TO ADVANCE THE GLORY OF HIS FATHER. Let
reference be made to the second lesson.
SECOND LESSON: MATTHEW 22:37
Jesus said unto him thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart,and with all they soul, and with all thy mind.
WHO GOVERNS THE WORLD ?The above passage explains the kind of person who will rule the world.
ANY PERSON WHO DESIRES TO BE AMONG THE RULERS SHOULD
LOVE GOD WITH ALL HIS HEART, SOUL, AND MIND. SUCH IS THE
KIND OF PERSON IN WHOM GOD WILL ABIDE AND HE TOO WILL ALSO
ABIDE IN GOD. IT IS BECAUSE OF MAN'S DEPARTURE FROM HIS
FIRST AND ORIGINAL LOVE FOR GOD THAT HE HAS SOMETHING
AGAINST MAN.GOD HIMSELF IS LOVE AND IF WE POSSESS THEVIRTUE OF LOVE FOR HIM, THEN WE WILL RULE AND REIGN WITH
HIM. IN GOD'S RULE AND KINGDOM THERE IS NEITHER BLACK NOR
WHITE, YOUNG NOR OLD, MAN NOR WOMAN. THAT IS WHY THE
KINGDOMS OF THIS WORLD HAVE BECOME THE KINGDOM OF GOD
AND HIS CHRIST WHERE HE WILL REIGN FOR EVER AND EVER.
8/2/2019 HE WHO IS TO RULE

Let mankind do whatever he pleases to solve his problems, but instead
of solving them, the problems would be compounded. Let a man kill,
steal, loot, indulge in idolatry, and initiate into various secret cults, his
problems will remain with him except he repents and follow God. Thecreator and owner of heaven and earth is here on earth quietly
watching how rogues struggle for what rightly belongs to God. IS IT
POSSIBLE THAT GOD WOULD RETIRE INTO HEAVEN ABOVE, LEAVING
THE VAST EXPANSE OF EARTH DESOLATE?
Yet should anything happen to man now, he would first call on God to
help him and not his money, houses, fleet if cars.IF ALL,
IRRESPECTIVE OF TRIBE AND TONGUES, STATUS AND FAITH,
SHOULD GO TO GOD ON BENDED KNEES, THE WORLD WILL BE INPEACE AND PROSPERITY. MAN, JUJU, FOOD, MONEY AND THE OTHER
MUNDANE THINGS ARE COMPLETELY USELESS. GOD
PROMISED TO RULE AND REIGN FOREVER. (SEEISAIAH 2).
THE REIGN OF THE HOLY SPIRIT:
THIS IS THE ERA OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND HIS REIGN. HE HAS
COMPLETELY BROUGHT DOWN THE ACTIVITIES OF MAN. ALLSHOULD STOP ROAMING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, SUFFERING AS IF
THE CREATOR IS NOT HERE WITH US. WE ARE NOT
FATHERLESS. WE HAVE A FATHER OF FATHERS, AN
EVER CARING AND EVER LOVING FATHER, IF ONLY
WE OBEY HIM, ALL OUR PROBLEMS WILL BE
SOLVED. IT IS SHAMEFUL AND UNTHINKABLE THAT MAN SHOULD
RESORT TO WORSHIPPING LOGS OFWOOD, STONES, AND OTHERTHINGS CREATED BY GOD. HAS JUJU EVER CREATED ANYTHING?
Instead of man to recognize and appreciate the wisdom and power of
God he attributes the things that happen daily to evil forces. It is only
God who is capable of doing what human beings cannot do. Our Lord
Jesus Christ made the dumb to talk, and the deaf to hear, then instead
8/2/2019 HE WHO IS TO RULE
16/21
of the people to praise God, they rather attributed the power to
Beelzebub. It was for this same reason that God was provoked when
the Israelites made themselves a graven image and worshipped it. God
on His part did not waste time to destroy them in their thousands.
This is the era of the Holy Spirit. People should refrain from
fornication, idolatry, and all forms of vices so that His bountiful grace
may be granted to us.
THE PRODIGAL WORLD:
The inhabitants of the world are prodigal children. The prodigal son
only returned to his Father after he has squandered his wealth and has
lost every hope. DESPITE HIS INIQUITIES, HIS FATHER DID NOTHESITATE TO WELCOME HIM BACK INTO THE FAMILY WITH POMP
AND PAGEANTRY. THAT IS THE KIND OF RECEPTION THAT AWAITS
ANY MAN WHO IS PENITENT OF HIS SINS AND RETURNS TO GOD.
RETURN THEREFORE ALL YE MEN OF THE WORLD, FOR YOUR
FATHER SEEKETH FOR YOU. EXCEPT YOU ALL COMPLY WITH THIS
INSTRUCTION, PEACE AND PROSPERITY SHALL CONTINUE TO ELUDE
THE WORLD.
GOD HAD DECLARED THAT IF ANY SHOULD LOVEHIM IN HIS HEART, HE WOULD SURELY MAKE HIS
DWELLING PLACE IN THAT PERSON. THIS SHOWS
THAT GOD HAS NO OTHER DWELLING PLACE THAN
THE HEART OF MAN, AND EXCEPT MAN LOVES GOD,
THERE IS NO OTHER SOURCE OF SALVATION FOR
HIM. WHEN YOU ABIDE IN HIM AND HE IN YOU,
THEN WILL YOU BE ONE WITH HIM. AND HE WILL
THEN TAKE DOMINION OVER YOUR WHOLE BODY.
HE RULES IN PEACE, LOVE, TRUTH, AND MERCY.
HIS RULERSHIP IS DIFFERENT FROM HUMAN'S. THE
8/2/2019 HE WHO IS TO RULE
17/21
WORD OF GOD HAS NEITHER BEGINNING NOR END.Let reference be made to the golden text.
GOLDEN TEXT: LUKE 14:33
So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that hehath, he cannot be my disciple.
YOU MUST FORSAKE VICE TO LIVE:
BELOVED, THE ABOVE INJUNCTION IS LOUD AND CLEAR. MAN HAS
TO FORSAKE LIES, DECEIT, HATRED, IDOLATRY, STEALING, DIVISION,
ARROGANCE, AND DISBELIEF IN YOUR CREATOR. YOU SHOULD
SURRENDER EVERYTHING TO GOD. EXCEPT YOU DO THIS YOU
CANNOT BE HIS DISCIPLE AND CANNOT INHERIT HIS KINGDOM.
REPERCUSSIONS AWAIT THE WORLD:
You may have read about a certain man who had a vineyard which was
fenced around and left into the care of security guards. When it was
time for harvest, the owner of the field sent labourers into the farm to
the harvesting but the security guards would not allow them. They
captured and killed all the messengers sent by the owner. The man
again sent another set of messengers, much greater in number thanthe first group. All were captured and slain. The man finally decided to
send forth his first born son to the field. The people quickly descended
on him, believing that he would eventually own the farm if allowed to
escape. So they killed the heir-apparent to the farm. They did all these
with the hope of gaining ownership of the farm.
The question now is, upon all that they did, were they able to seize the
farm from the owner? In the final analysis, Christ asked them what
would happen to such wicked servants when the rightful owner of thefield finally arrives? The listeners replied that he would destroy all
such servants and give the field over to other servants who are faithful
to Him.
8/2/2019 HE WHO IS TO RULE
18/21
TIME FOR RECOMPENSE:
Whatever it pleased a man to do, let him do. Let him invent more
sophisticated weapons and erect iron walls around himself. The ownerof the field has come to pay each person according to his work. Those
of you who claim ownership of the land, trees, human beings, and
other things in the world, should hold firmly to them and wait for God's
reaction. God is the Creator and owner of everything in heaven and on
earth.
IN THE WHOLE WORLD IT IS ONLY CHRIST WHO SAYS ALL THAT
BELONGS TO HIS FATHER ALSO BELONGS TO HIM. THIS IS BECAUSE
HE IS ONE WITH THE FATHER. ANY PERSON WHO CAN PROUDLY SAY"I AND MY FATHER ARE ONE," CAN EQUALLY CLAIMOWNERSHIP OF WHATEVER BELONGS TO GOD. LOVE ONE ANOTHER
AND SURRENDER YOURSELF AND EVERYTHING AROUND YOU TO HIM
AND ALL WILL BE WELL WITH YOU.
GOD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THAT HAPPENS:
People trace the problems and starvation in the world to certain
persons. The question is what about the problems in your house, who
is responsible? None is responsible for the famine and other problemsin the world. Did He not promise to shake this earth? Read Revelations
3:8-11. Only those who believe in Him shall live.
This is the kingdom of God in which righteousness dwells. The things
held to be of uppermost importance are righteousness and joy. Man
had hitherto cast his hope on another man which has invariably spelt
doom upon himself. Change your mind now and love God with all heat
soul and mind and He will surely manifest His goodness on you. It is
written:
The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. The world and they
that dwell therein. For he hath founded it upon the seas, and
established it upon the floods. Who shall stand in his holy place? He
that hath clean hands, and a pure heart: Who hath not lifted up his soul
8/2/2019 HE WHO IS TO RULE
19/21
unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from
the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
ANYONE WHO IS DESIROUS OF REIGNING WITH HIM SHOULD GIVE
HIM TOTAL LOVE, OTHERWISE HE WILL LABOR IN VAIN. EXCEPT YOUFORSAKE ALL THAT YOU HAVE, YOU CANNOT BE HIS DISCIPLE.
WHATEVER YOU HAD CLAIMED TO BE, AND WHATEVER POWER YOU
CLAIM TO HAVE, FORSAKE EVERYTHING AND SURRENDER YOURSELF
TO HIM.
AN ILLUSTRATION:
This is a familiar story I have been telling you. Once there lived a
certain man who bought a slave who was very hard working and sobecame very prosperous. The slave in turn bought many other slaves
and became even richer than his master. It became the talk of the
town that a slave became richer than his master. As a result, the slave
became arrogant and swollen-headed. After much noise about the
wealth of the slave over his master, it came to pass that a day was
declared for stock taking. So everybody in the community assembled
to find out exactly who was richer, the slave or his master.
When the people gathered, the slave was given the opportunity first totake stock of his property. As he counted all that belonged to him, the
people marvelled and clapped in anticipation of a complete victory
over his master. After he had concluded counting his property, the
master stood up to take his own stock. He enumerated the few things
he had and then added the slave himself together with all his property.
The whole arena was quiet and the people nodded in agreement.
Everybody was stunned.
This is exactly what is happening to mankind and God, the owner of usall. Empty did man come into this world and empty will he departs.
Everything you see in this world will remain behind to original owner,
God. Man has struggled, engaging himself in various jobs, some of
them odd, just to get rich. In the end he departs, taking none of the
things he had accumulated to himself. Normally, God would laugh you
8/2/2019 HE WHO IS TO RULE
20/21
to scorn when you claim ownership of the woman, the man, the
children, the money, and all the other things in your possession.
Many preachers and labourers in the vineyard of God have abandoned
their work in search of private businesses for quick gains. That is theheight of foolishness. You should now realize that the very business
which you abandon the work of God to enable you pursue, belongs to
God,your body and your soul belong to God, everything in the world
belong to God.
So beloved, I shall not take you any further. It is said that a stroke of
the cane is sufficient for the wise. He that has ears should hear what
the Holy Spirit has imparted to the world. May the Lord Bless His Holy
Word.
THANK YOU HOLY FATHER.
