    BIBLE WITNESS

    JOHN 1:11-14

    Joh 1:11 He came unto his own, and his own

    received him not.

    Joh 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave

    he power to become the sons of God, evento them

    that believe on his name:

    Joh 1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the

    will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

    Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt

    among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of

    the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and

    truth.

    1ST PETER 1:23-1PETER 1:25

    1Pe 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by

    the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.1Pe 1:24 For all flesh isas grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of

    grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:

    1Pe 1:25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word

    which by the gospel is preached unto you.

    *RIGHT FROM TODAY AND THROUGHOUT THIS WEEK, I AMGOING TO ANALYZE THIS TOPIC BECAUSE THIS IS

    WHOLLY A NEW GOSPEL.I ENJOIN EVERYONE OF YOU TONOTE AND COMMIT THIS SERMON TO MEMORY. YOU CAN JUSTIMAGINE HOW I STARTED IT.

    *THIS GOSPEL SHOULD BE PUT IN BLACK AND WHITE AND

    DISSEMINATED TO ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD. IT WILL HELP TOEDUCATE PEOPLE ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT, EVEN THECOMFORTER. THIS IS A TYPICAL, SIGNIFICANT AND NOVEL

    LESSON,WHICH ATTEMPTS TO MAKE US UNDERSTAND THATTHE HOLY SPIRIT HAS COME TO STAY AND RULE TILLETERNITY. THEREFORE, DO NOT PREACH ABOUT ANY OTHERPERSON, EXCEPT THIS UNIQUE PHENOMENON, THE HOLY SPIRIT.

    *Those who bore witness about Abraham, Moses,

    Melchizedek and other prophets of old had

    short-lived testimonies whereas those who bore

    witness about Our Lord Jesus Christ are called the

    Apostles.THOSE OPPORTUNED TO BEAR WITNESS

    ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THIS GENERATION ARE

    THE LUCKIEST. THEY ARE CALLED THE CHILDREN

    OF GOD.

    *THIS IS NEITHER THE ERA OF MEN, NOR OF PROPHET,NOR APOSTLE, NOR ANGEL, NOR SON. THIS IS PRECISELY

    THE REIGN OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THOSE WHO BEAR

    EVERLASTING GOSPEL:

    THE ERA OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

    FIRST BIBLE LESSON: JOHN 16:7

    "Nevertheless I tell you the truth; it is expedient foryou that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforterwill not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send

    Him unto you."

    SECOND BIBLE LESSON: JOHN 15:26

    "But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send untoyou from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, whichproceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me."GOLDEN TEXT: MATTHEW 12:32

    "And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man,

    it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speakethagainst the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him,neither in this world, neither in the world to come."

    Brethren, the texts read to you constitute therevelation of our lesson. I have already told you thatthis generation is the luckiest of all generations.Also, our Lord Jesus Christ said that this generationshall not pass away until all these things, hisprophecies, be fulfilled. (Matt 24:34). And he addedthat the end of the world shall not come until thegospel of the Kingdom has reached all the nooks andcorners of the world. (Matt 24:14).

    Therefore, our Lord Jesus Christ bore witness about theHoly Spirit. Our Lord Jesus Christ was the first personto bear witness of the Holy Spirit. All other prophets

  • 8/2/2019 The Era of the Holy Spirit

    7/38

    testified about Our Lord Jesus Christ, but Our LordJesus Christ bore witness about the Holy Spirit whomyou said you do not know. Our Lord Jesus Christ did nottestify about John the Baptist. He did not bear witness

    about Moses or Elijah or Isaiah but He bore eloquenttestimony about the Holy Spirit.

    THE FATHER, SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT

    THE FATHER HAD ACCOMPLISHED HIS WORK OF CREATION. THESON DID ACCOMPLISH HIS WORKS OF REDEMPTION. AND NOW ISTHE ERA OF THE HOLY SPIRIT COME TO GLORIFY HISCHILDREN. YOU HAVE HEARD WHAT HE HAD SAID AS CONTAINEDIN THESE TEXTS. THAT IS WHY I AM BEGINNING TO KEEP YOU

    INFORMED ABOUT THIS AND THROUGHOUT THIS WEEK I WILLCONTINUE TO EXPATIATE ON THIS TOPIC, THE HOLY SPIRIT.

    I have instructed you times without number that whenyou go out to preach, preach about the Holy Spirit. Donot preach about any person, nor should you preachabout any Church, Society, Organization norInstitution. But you should proclaim to the people thatthe long expected Comforter, the Holy Spirit promised,

    is now on earth. This explains the reply of Our LordJesus Christ when the Pharisees asked Him when theKingdom of God would come? He replied, "The Kingdom ofGod does not come with things to be observed. Neitherwill men say, "Here it is or there it is; because theKingdom of God is within you". (Luke 17:21) To preachand get people informed that Christ, Moses, Elijah andothers had come, is not a new thing. IF YOU DO NOTPREACH ABOUT JESUS THE CHRIST IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOUARE AGAINST HIM. THE TRUTH IS THAT HE HAD COME,

    ACCOMPLISHED HIS WORK, AND GONE. BUT THIS IS THE ERA OFTHE HOLY SPIRIT. THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS, IN PERSON, COMETO REIGN FOREVER.

    Many people do not believe in the existence of the HolySpirit. On this note, if you want to preach to themabout Moses or Elijah or Isaiah and other prophets,

  • 8/2/2019 The Era of the Holy Spirit

    8/38

    they would claim to know all of them. But if you tellsomebody about the Holy Spirit, this is something verystrange to them. Our Lord Jesus did not say that He hadto go so that Moses would come. Neither did He say that

    His departure will usher in Abraham or Elijah or anyother person. But He said, "It is for your advantagethat I go away, for if I go not away, the Comforterwill not come unto you". (John 16:7)

    This is the reason our Lord Jesus Christ said thatwhosoever speaks ill of the Son of man shall beforgiven but anyone who speaks an ill word against theHoly Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither inthis generation nor in the world to come. (Matt 12:32).

    Now how can you reconcile these two statements? Thefirst, that whosoever shall blaspheme against the sonof man shall be forgiven, and the second says whosoevershall blaspheme against the Holy Spirit shall not beforgiven neither in this world nor in the world tocome. In these two statements, the essence of the HolySpirit is revealed.THE HOLY SPIRIT IS GREATER THAN THESON.

    SIMON PETER REVEALED THE CHRIST:

    He did not preach about any other person or being apartfrom the Holy Spirit.AND HE BOLDLY DECLARED THAT THECOMFORTER, THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL COME. AND HE HAS NOWCOME AND HAS TAKEN UP THE MANTLE OF RULERSHIP OF THEWHOLE WORLD.BUT YOU CLAIM NOT TO KNOW THE HOLY SPIRIT.SINCE YOU DO NOT KNOW THE HOLY SPIRIT, WHEN YOU GO OUTTO PREACH, WHAT DO YOU PREACH ABOUT. WE ARE DUTY-BOUNDTO PREACH ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT. WHEREVER WE GO WE HAVE

    NOTHING ELSE TO PREACH ABOUT BUT THE HOLY SPIRIT.

    AND IT IS SAID WHEN YOU ARE TOLD THAT HE IS IN THEDESERT OR MOUNTAIN OR IN THE SECRET CHAMBERS, DO NOTGO. (MATT. 24:26 -27) FOR AS THE LIGHTNING COMES FROMONE PART OF THE SKY TO ANOTHER UNDER HEAVEN: SO ALSOSHALL THE SON OF MAN BE IN HIS DAY. HE SAID FURTHER

  • 8/2/2019 The Era of the Holy Spirit

    9/38

    "ALL THINGS ARE DELIVERED UNTO ME BY MY FATHER: AND NOMAN KNOWETH THE SON, BUT THE FATHER, NEITHER KNOWETHANY MAN THE FATHER, SAVE THE SON, AND HE TO WHOMSOEVERTHE SON WILL REVEAL HIM. (MATT. 11:27)

    Can you also see when Our Lord Jesus Christ asked Hisdisciples "who do the people say that I am?" Theyanswered some say thou art Moses, others say you areElijah, yet others claim thou art one of the prophets.Then He asked them, you who have been with me, who doyou say that I am? And Peter answered "Thou art Christ.Son of the Living God". And our Lord Jesus Christexclaimed, it is not flesh and blood that has revealedthis thing to you but it is my Father who is in heaven.

    And He implored them not to tell anyone that He was theChrist. (Matt 16:16-20).It is very clear here that flesh and blood can neverreveal the Holy Spirit unto you. Flesh and blood cannoteven see, let alone recognize the Holy Spirit. Inanother encounter, he also told His disciples, "Yet alittle while, and the world will see me no more; but yesee Me, because I live, ye shall live also". (John14:19). Can you now see the manifestation of the above

    statement? The children of God are now seeing Himlavishly.THEY KNOW HIM, TALK TO HIM; BUT THE PEOPLE OFTHE WORLD DO NOT SEE HIM. AND THIS EXPLAINS WHY YOU CANNO LONGER POINT TO ANY DIRECTION, SAYING, GO, HERE ISTHE HOLY SPIRIT OR THERE BECAUSE HE IS NOW PRESENT INOUR MIDST.

    THE COMFORTER HAS COME

    On this score, we are duty-bound to go out and tell the

    world that the Holy Spirit, the long-expected Comforteris now on earth. We have to proclaim the manifestationof the Holy Spirit in our midst. He is the one doingall these wonderful works. And the testimonies of ourLord Jesus Christ is now made manifest. The Holy Spiritis operating everywhere and it is our duty to revealHim to the whole world.

  • 8/2/2019 The Era of the Holy Spirit

    10/38

    It was written that... After those days I will put mylaws into their mind, and write them in their hearts;and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to Me a

    people. And they shall not teach every man His neighborand every man His brother saying, know the Lord. Forall shall know Me from the least to the greatest. (Heb8:10-11).

    Again when they approached him and inquired of him totell them the things of heaven, He said to them, If Itold you the things of earth and you do not understand,much more shall you not comprehend the things ofheaven. (John 3:12). If the Holy Spirit does not reveal

    something to you, would you understand? Do you alsothink that if the Holy Spirit does not reveal Himselfto you, you will recognize Him? Therefore, we have togo out and proclaim to the whole world that the HolySpirit, the promised Comforter, is now on earth. Thatthe Comforter whom our Lord Jesus Christ bore witnessand testified about, has come to teach and lead us tothe accurate knowledge of the truth. He is now herewith men to dwell.

    The ignorance of the reign of the Holy Spirit has ledso many people astray. That is why it has pleased theFather to set aside this week in order to explain untoyou step by step, in chronological order to make youunderstand that the Holy Spirit whom our Lord JesusChrist bore witness about is the one doing all theseworks. All along you have been going out to preachanother thing, you preach about man and the things ofthe world. From now on, when you go out to preach, tell

    the people that the long awaited Holy Spirit, thepromised Comforter, is now dwelling with men. He hascome to lead us to the accurate knowledge of the truth.And I will continue to emphasize on this pointthroughout this week.

    OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WENT AWAY FOR OUR OWN GOOD

  • 8/2/2019 The Era of the Holy Spirit

    11/38

    He bore witness about the Holy Spirit; and the HolySpirit in turn bore witness about Him. This goes toconfirm that no man really knows the Father, but the

    Son and to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him.Therefore, if He did not go, the Comforter would nothave come. His departure was for our own good that waswhy He was unable to do much work. For this reason too,He had to depart at an earlier time. If He were toremain up till now, the Comforter would not have come.Nothing at all would have been better for the wholeworld.

    This reveals to us that we have a lot of work to

    accomplish, not only preaching on the altar, butwherever we go. Wherever you are, preach about the HolySpirit now dwelling with men and that all thesewonderful works are done by the Holy Spirit. How canyou tell somebody that the Holy Spirit is here? Is itsomething that can be seen with the carnal eyes?NOBODYCAN SEE THE HOLY SPIRIT WITH THE PHYSICAL EYES, BUT YOUCAN ONLY SEE HIM WITH THE SPIRITUAL EYES.

    It was for this reason that our Lord Jesus Christ said,"except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdomof God. Except a man be born of water and of spirit, hecannot enter the Kingdom of God. (John 3:3).IF ANYBODYCONFRONTS YOU WITH THE QUESTION, "WHAT IS BROTHERHOODOF THE CROSS AND STAR". TELL HIM THAT HE SHOULD REPENTAND GET BAPTIZED AND THEN HE WILL RECEIVE THE HOLYSPIRIT WHO WILL TEACH HIM. WHOEVER IS NOT BORN OF WATERAND OF SPIRIT, HE CANNOT SEE BROTHERHOOD. ANYONE WHO ISNOT BORN OF WATER AND OF SPIRIT, CANNOT REMAIN IN THIS

    KINGDOM.

    This is no longer the time for somebody to look untoanother. It is not the time for anyone to botherHimself or others, nor is it the time for anyone topreach unto another. I have repeatedly told you thatthis generation is the luckiest of all. You can recall

  • 8/2/2019 The Era of the Holy Spirit

    12/38

    what Our Lord Jesus Christ told that Samaritan woman.When the woman said, "Our fathers worshipped on thismountain, and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the placewhere men ought to worship. Our Lord Jesus Christ said

    unto her, "Woman, believe Me, the hour cometh when yeshall neither in this mountain nor yet at Jerusalem,worship the Father. Ye worship what ye know not, weknow what we worship for salvation is of the Jews. Butthe hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippersshall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: forthe Father seeketh such to worship Him. God is a Spiritand they that worship Him; must worship Him in Spiritand in truth. (John 4:20-24)

    The above reveals that the time was not yet come duringthe advent of our Lord Jesus Christ. He bore witness tothe fact that the time would come in future when thiswill be made manifest.HE DID NOT MENTION ANY OTHERPERSON. HE BORE WITNESS ABOUT THE FATHER THAT HE ISCOMING IN PERSON.Brethren, I will not take you furtherthan this. Let our first lesson be read.

    FIRST BIBLE LESSON: JOHN 16:7

    "Nevertheless, I tell you the truth; it is expedientfor you that I go away; for if I go not away, theComforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, Iwill send Him unto you."

    THE HOLY SPIRIT DOES ALL THE WORK

    Brethren, can you now see that we have to express athankful heart unto Him? When we eat, we ought to give

    thanks unto Him for giving us the food. We have toglorify Him wherever we are. In whatever we do, we haveto give glory and honor unto Him because though we donot see Him with our physical eyes, yet we believe thatHe exists. He is living in our hearts and He is the onedoing all these wonderful works.

  • 8/2/2019 The Era of the Holy Spirit

    13/38

    Those who bore witness about Abraham, Moses,Melchizedek and other prophets of old had short-livedtestimonies whereas those who bore witness about Our

    Lord Jesus Christ are called the Apostles.THOSEOPPORTUNED TO BEAR WITNESS ABOUT

    THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THIS GENERATION

    ARE THE LUCKIEST. THEY ARE CALLED

    THE CHILDREN OF GOD.

    Recall that portion which says that "A neighbor shall

    not teach a neighbor; neither shall a brother teach hisfellow brother, saying know the Lord. (Hebrew 8:11).Right now can you remember or tell who has taught youof God? Now you have known this. Somebody may approachyou and ask for where the God you are claiming to knowis. If you point to a geographical location as theabode of God, you have failed.If you are confrontedwith such questions, do not tell anybody any otherthing. Tell them to become fully repentant, to confess

    their sins and get baptized. The moment they believeand are baptized, they will receive the Holy Spirit,and the Holy Spirit will further reveal Himself untothem. He will reveal Himself unto them.

    NOW THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS COME IN PERSON SENDING NOONE. HE IS THE ONE AND ONLY SUPERNATURAL TEACHER. HE ISTHE ONE DOING ALL THESE WORKS. THE SON LOVES THE FATHERAND THE FATHER WHO LOVES THE SON, HAS REVEALED ALLTHINGS UNTO HIM. OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST SAID, "IF YOUWERE TO UNDERSTAND, YOU WOULD HAVE REJOICED BECAUSE I

    GO TO THE FATHER AND THE FATHER IS GREATER THAN I."(John 14:28).

    AND NOW YOU CAN PRECISELY UNDERSTAND THAT THEFATHER, EVEN THE HOLY SPIRIT, HAS COME IN PERSON

    AND HE IS THE ONE DOING ALL THE WORKS. NO PERSONIS RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE WORKS, EXCEPT THE HOLY

  • 8/2/2019 The Era of the Holy Spirit

    14/38

    SPIRIT. YOU CANNOT ATTRIBUTE THESE WORKS DONE TO

    ANY OTHER PERSON. THE HOLY SPIRIT HIMSELF HASCOME TO REVEAL HIMSELF TO EVERY PERSON. THE SON

    WITNESSED ABOUT THE FATHER AND THE FATHER HASCOME. THE FATHER IS THE HOLY SPIRIT. HE IS THEONE DOING ALL THE WORK AROUND US. OUR WORK IS TOGO FORTH, PROCLAIM AND REVEAL HIM UNTO THE WORLDTHAT HE HAS NOW COME.

    YOU CANNOT ATTRIBUTE ALL THESE WORKS TO ANY OTHERPERSON. HE HAS COME TO REVEAL HIMSELF AND TO FINALIZEHIS WORKS. NONE OTHER THAN HIM IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALLTHE WORKS AROUND US.

    THE HOLY SPIRIT IS GOD

    THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS COME IN PERSON. HE IS THE ONE WHOCALLS YOU. HE IS GOD. HE IS THE LORD AND KING. HE ISTHE TEACHER. HE IS THE LEADER, AND ALL THE WORKS AREDONE ONLY BY HIM. WHAT PREVENTS YOU FROM PREACHING TOTHE PEOPLE THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS COME, AND THAT HEIS THE SUPERNATURAL TEACHER AND DOCTOR WHO HEALS ANDGIVES GOOD HEALTH AND LIFE?

    Do not attribute these works to any other person.Do not preach any other doctrine to the people butrather tell them to repent and be baptized and thenthey shall be imbued with the Holy Spirit. And He shallreveal Himself to you for He is responsible for allthese works.

    THIS IS NEITHER THE ERA OF MEN, NOR OF PROPHET, NOR

    APOSTLE, NOR ANGEL, NOR SON. THIS IS PRECISELY THEREIGN OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THOSE WHO BEAR WITNESSABOUT HIM ARE THE CHILDREN OF GOD.

    You can now see what distinguishes the Holy Spirit fromall those who came before Him. Adam, Enoch, Abraham,Melchizedek, Moses, Elijah and our Lord Jesus Christ

  • 8/2/2019 The Era of the Holy Spirit

    15/38

    and His disciples all came at their respective times,but their power was not so feint among men. There isnone to compare with the Holy Spirit. But now the HolySpirit has come in person and the whole world feels and

    testifies of the wonderful power in Brotherhood.However, the source of this power is what confuses theworld. There is power in Brotherhood. They alwaysconfess, yet speculate that it is not from God. Myquestion is, if it is not from God, is it from you? Ifit is from you, let us watch you demonstrate it.

    RIGHT FROM TODAY AND THROUGHOUT THIS WEEK, I AMGOING TO ANALYZE THIS TOPIC BECAUSE THIS IS

    WHOLLY A NEW GOSPEL.I ENJOIN EVERYONE OF YOU TONOTE AND COMMIT THIS SERMON TO MEMORY. YOU CAN JUSTIMAGINE HOW I STARTED IT.

    I HAVE PRESENTED TO YOU THE GENERAL FRAMES,ANALYZING THE PROMISES OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRISTCONCERNING THE COMING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO IS THECOMFORTER, TO TEACH AND LEAD EVERY MAN UNTO THEACCURATE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH. I NOW CONCLUDE THATTHE HOLY SPIRIT, THAT PROMISED COMFORTER, WHICH OURLORD JESUS CHRIST TESTIFIED ABOUT IS NOW MANIFESTED.

    THE COMFORTER HAS COME IN PERSON AND WE ARE DUTY-BOUNDTO TESTIFY ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT. OUR TESTIMONIESSHOULD NOT BE ABOUT ANY PROPHETS OR ANGELS OR MAN. WESHOULD TESTIFY AND BEAR WITNESS ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRITWHO HAS COME IN PERSON TO RULE THE WORLD.

    WHY HIS NAME WAS CHANGED FROM EMMANUEL TO JESUS

    It was said that a virgin shall bring forth a Son andHis name shall be called Emmanuel, meaning God with us.(Isa 7:14) But when He was born an angel appeared andinstructed that He should be called Jesus, therebychanging it from what was formerly revealed andbelieved by many. It was that same angel who revealedthat the one to be born shall be called the Holy Son ofGod. Have you heard that? Can you now see the greatlesson to be drawn from this?Jeremiah prophesied that

  • 8/2/2019 The Era of the Holy Spirit

    16/38

    a virgin shall give birth to God. Those who heard theprophecy were indifferent since they never believedthat God could be born of a woman. And if He is calledGod, how will you explain it? Would it not be casting

    your precious pearls before the swine.

    The name, God, is very strange. Then came anotherprophecy, the child to be born shall be called the HolySon of God. Yet the situation was still as beclouded asthe previous one. It was yet another strange name,since the people did not believe in the possibility ofthe Holy Son of God being born of a woman. When thechild was born, if He was called the Holy Son of God,how would the people understand? They would have turned

    it into a thing of mockery and ridicule and everyattempt could have been made to destroy the child at avery tender age.

    That explains the timely intervention of angelGabriel asking for a change of name. The child wasnamed Jesus to avoid the untimely death that could haveprevailed. Jesus is a common name among the Jewishsociety. Just like among the Efiks where we have Okon,Etim, Effiong, Bassey and so forth.

    OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST PROPHESIED

    ABOUT THE COMING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

    God is a perfect arranger. He also revealed to Simon Peter

    that Jesus the Christ was the Son of the living God. (Matt

    16:16)GOD REVEALED TO ABRAHAM THAT TO HIS SEED

    SHALL THE SON OF GOD BE BORN. THIS PROMISE OF GOD

    WAS FULFILLED AND MADE MANIFEST IN OUR LORD JESUS

    CHRIST, THE SON. WHEN THE SON, OUR LORD JESUS

    CHRIST, CAME, HE BORE WITNESS ABOUT THE HOLY

    SPIRIT. THIS CLEARLY POINTS OUT TO US THAT THIS IS

    THE ERA OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.

  • 8/2/2019 The Era of the Holy Spirit

    17/38

    THIS GOSPEL SHOULD BE PUT IN BLACK AND WHITE ANDDISSEMINATED TO ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD. IT WILL HELP TOEDUCATE PEOPLE ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT, EVEN THECOMFORTER. THIS IS A TYPICAL, SIGNIFICANT AND NOVEL

    LESSON, WHICH ATTEMPTS TO MAKE US UNDERSTAND THATTHE HOLY SPIRIT HAS COME TO STAY AND RULE TILLETERNITY. THEREFORE, DO NOT PREACH ABOUT ANY OTHERPERSON, EXCEPT THIS UNIQUE PHENOMENON, THE HOLY SPIRIT.

    If you are asked to show where the Holy Spiritstations, just tell them to repent, confess their sins,accept baptism and they shall be imbued with the HolySpirit. Mention to them that the Holy Spirit has come

    in person and does all the works around us. Do notengage in unnecessary arguments. Refer to Bibleportions containing the promises made by our Lord JesusChrist concerning the coming of the Holy Spirit. Whenthis truth is quoted to them, they will repent. If theyget baptized, they will receive the Holy Spirit. Tellthem that the Holy Spirit is the doer of all the worksof healing, prayers, songs, testimonies and every workthat we see around us.This explains why our Lord Jesus Christ forbade his

    disciples to tell anyone that He was the Christ untilHis departure. The disciples complied with theinstructions and never did. He was called Jesus, a namewhich was common and could not arouse any speculationsas regards His deity.

    THE WORLD DOES NOT BELIEVE IN THE HOLY SPIRIT

    HOW CAN YOU PRESENT A MIRROR TO A BLIND MAN? IT AMOUNTSTO RIDICULE AND MOCKERY SINCE HE CANNOT BEHOLD HIS FACE

    IN THE MIRROR. GIVE NOT THAT WHICH IS HOLY UNTO DOGS.NEITHER CAST YOUR PEARLS UNTO THE SWINE, LEST THEYTRAMPLE THEM UNDER THEIR FEET AND TURN AGAIN TO ATTACKYOU.

    If the Holy Spirit had not revealed Himself toyou, would you have known Him? If you tell somebodythat the Holy Spirit is here, they will ask for what

  • 8/2/2019 The Era of the Holy Spirit

    18/38

    you mean by the Holy Spirit? He will think that you aretrying to introduce a new doctrine. Even among thewhites, they will be baffled when you speak about theconcept of the Holy Spirit.

    If you ask the orthodox churches about the Holy Spiritwho is now on earth, they will tell you that the HolySpirit ended on the day of Pentecost. They will tellyou to go away with your doctrine of the Holy Spirit.They will also argue that what they are doing is thereal Church of God. When you tell these Churches aboutSpiritual songs, they will retort that they do not needSpiritual songs, and that your Holy Spirit and yourSpiritual songs are demonic.

    HE HAS REVEALED HIMSELF TO ALL

    But now the reverse is the case. Everybody now knowsthe Holy Spirit, because he has come in person anddwells with men. He has revealed Himself to you. Thatis why you are able to know Him, and rejoice with Him.You are now able to tell people about Him. But if Hedid not reveal Himself to you, and anybody came to you

    and talked about the Holy Spirit, you would havequarreled with such a person.

    I want to use the whole of the week to preach about theHoly Spirit. I will preach in the same direction,throughout the week. Tomorrow we will also focus on theHoly Spirit until Sunday when I will reveal andexpatiate on the advent of the Holy Spirit that you allmay understand and realize that He has come in personto reveal Himself and make the testimony of Christ

    fulfilled. If He did not reveal Himself to you, youwill not know Him nor will you be able to tell anyperson about Him and explain that all that Our LordJesus Christ spoke about has been fulfilled. Thepromised Comforter, the Holy Spirit, has come to dwellwith men.

  • 8/2/2019 The Era of the Holy Spirit

    19/38

    A certain Indian Sister of the Hare Krishna faith camehere to pay homage to the Holy Father after readingthrough the pamphlet titled "My Mission." As she cameto see the Holy Father, she asked to pay her tithe and

    to know about the Holy Spirit. But I told her that Iwas not in the position nor was it my duty to tell herabout the Holy Spirit. I advised her to become trulyrepentant and get baptized and then she will receivethe Holy Spirit who should reveal Himself to her.Because of the kind of pride associated with the whitesover things believed to originate from the blacks, shedid not want to admit the truth and obey myinstructions. As a white woman she gave a secondthought to it and became confused. She returned to her

    home only to be directed again by the spirit to complywith the instructions given to her, to learn aboutBrotherhood of the Cross and Star and its Holy Spiritleadership.

    When she could resist no further, she had to come downand submit for baptism. After her baptism, she darednot ask any more questions again. She no longer doubtedBrotherhood and the Holy Spirit. Even when I

    administered the Holy oil into her eyes, ears, mouthand anointed her head with the Holy water, she remainedvery quiet and never asked any more questions.

    THE BLIND CANNOT LEAD THE BLIND

    I am blind and you are also blind. All of us arehandicapped and incapable of doing anything. Neithercan we comprehend anything. IT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT ALONEWHO KNOWS AND COMPREHENDS EVERYTHING. HE HAS COME AND

    HAS ASSUMED THE RULERSHIP OF THE WORLD. THE TASK AHEADOF YOU AND ME IS TO GO FORTH TO THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLDAND PREACH THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS COME TO LEAD EVERYMAN UNTO THE ACCURATE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH. WE ARE TOBEAR WITNESS ABOUT NO OTHER THING THAN THE HOLY SPIRIT.

    MOSES, ADAM, ALL THE ANGELS AND PROPHETS HAD COME AND

  • 8/2/2019 The Era of the Holy Spirit

    20/38

    GONE BUT THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO HAS NOW COME IS THEGREATEST OF THEM ALL. THAT IS THE REASON I HAVE TOLDYOU THAT ALL OF US SHOULD GO AND PREACH ONLY BUT ONETHING. Hold fast and conceal in your heart that which

    has been revealed to you. Whatever had been revealed toyou, conceal in your heart and tell it to no otherperson. If God so loves any other person in the world,He will also reveal Himself to such a person who willcome to the same understanding as you do. If He doesnot like to reveal Himself to anyone, do not botheryourself, do not be disturbed. Let us all rise inconcert and preach the same thing.

    HIS NAME IS THE HOLY SPIRIT

    He is not Jehovah. He is not the Father. He is not the

    Son. HE IS THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO IS DOING ALL THEWORK. Take note, draw your ears and understand fullythat His name is THE HOLY SPIRIT and that is all youhave to call Him.

    WHOM DO YOU THINK THE FATHER WAS? WHO WAS THE SON? WHOIS THE HOLY SPIRIT? IT IS THE SAME GOD. DID YOU KNOW

    THAT IT IS ONLY THIS ONE BEING WHO MANIFESTSDIFFERENTLY WITH NEW NAMES AND AT VARIOUS PERIODS?

    A LOT OF YOU THINK THAT IF YOU CALL HIM THE HOLYSPIRIT, YOU HAVE ABUSED HIM. YOU THINK THAT THE NAMEHOLY SPIRIT IS TOO DEMEANING AND WILL NOT SUIT THEMIGHTINESS AND GREATNESS HE HAS ASSUMED. IF YOU DEVIATEFROM CALLING HIM THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE TESTIMONIES BORNEABOUT HIM BY OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST THAT HE WILL BECALLED THE HOLY SPIRIT, WILL NOT BE MADE MANIFEST. WE

    HAVE TO CALL HIM THE HOLY SPIRIT TO FULFILL THETESTIMONY OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.

    THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE DOER OF ALL THINGS

    The trouble with many people is that they want to know

  • 8/2/2019 The Era of the Holy Spirit

    21/38

    who is directly responsible for these works, in ourmidst. If you claim that these works are done by aprophet, we will fall casualties of incoherent logic ifit is asked, did the prophets of old ever accomplish

    this type of work? If you claim that it is the Son whois doing the works, can you refer to an instance whenthe Son was able to do this type of work? Or if youarrogate these mighty works to man, since the creationof man, has any man been able to do any part of thiswork?

    NO MAN, NO PROPHET, NO SON HAD BEEN ABLE TO

    DO THIS WORK EXCEPT THE HOLY SPIRIT. HE IS THE LORDOF LORDS AND KINGS OF KINGS. THUS, THE NEW NAME

    ASCRIBED TO HIM, IS HOLY SPIRIT.If you claim that these works are done by man, let

    us ponder over it thus. "How can this same man be seenin Calabar, Lagos, the United States, United Kingdom,India, Germany and all other places simultaneously?"

    In spite of this, many people argue that the wholeaffair has demonic tendencies and influences.Contemporary happenings have confounded human wisdomand the nakedness of the prudent has been exposed. Intheir futile attempt to comprehend, they concluded thatit is beyond the realm of human knowledge. If theseworks were done by man, how will this confusion set inamong the human race? Can the wisdom of one man surpassthat of the totality of the human race?

    If you claim that those works are done by man. Mentionone man who had been able to attain this omnipresent

    status. Can you find the power of what you are doing?It is just like giving seven million naira to a littlechild of seven and advising him to bank it. When thechild eventually appears in the bank with such afabulous amount, will the bank officials not questionwhere he had taken the money? And even if he explainsthat it is his own money, they will never believe.

  • 8/2/2019 The Era of the Holy Spirit

    22/38

    Further investigation will prove the true ownership ofthat money.

    Similarly, if you claim that it is man who does these

    works, people will not let your statement gounquestioned. They would like to verify the reliabilityof that assertion. How can it be that the same personis seen simultaneously and lavishly at all places. Ifyou argue that these works are done by man, how canthis same man possess the traits of being present inthe sun, in water, in the stars and in all planes? Thesame man is found doing the same works and even ingreater dimension, displaying the same supernaturalpowers, in all these places.

    For this reason when you claim that these works aredone by man, the world wonders what manner of man heshould be. It is for this reason that you are told tocall a spade a spade. THAT IS ALSO THE REASON WHY IHAVE PRESENTED THIS LESSON TO YOU IN SEQUENTIAL ORDER,STARTING WITH THE PROMISES MADE BY OUR LORD JESUSCHRIST THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT, EVEN THE COMFORTER, WILLCOME, TO TEACH AND GUIDE US TO THE ACCURATE KNOWLEDGE

    OF THE TRUTH. THE COMFORTER IS THE NAME OF THE HOLYSPIRIT. Let our second lesson be read once again.

    SECOND BIBLE LESSON: JOHN 15:26

    "But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send toyou from the Father, even the Spirit of truth whichproceedeth from the Father, He shall testify of Me."

    Brethren, how do you find that text? It is said, "Noman speaking by the Spirit of God will ever say Jesusbe cursed and no man can say that Jesus is Lord but bythe Holy Spirit". (1 Cor 12:3).

    Therefore, nobody can ever call God Father exceptthe Son. It is only the Son who has ever called GodFather. Also no one can ever call the Son of God my Son

  • 8/2/2019 The Era of the Holy Spirit

    23/38

    excepting the Father. (Matt 11:27 / Luke 10:22).You cannow see the prevalent situation in the world. If you goto these churches inundating the world and tell themthe Father has sent me, they will ask to know who that

    your Father is and how the Father gets to know aboutyou. AND THERE IS NO CHURCH DENOMINATION

    THAT WOULD EVER ADDRESS THE SON AS OUR

    LORD JESUS CHRIST, BUT THEY CALL HIM JESUS.This explains why the Jews demanded that theinscription "The King of the Jews" hung above his headas He hung on the Cross, should be changed to, "but Hesaid, He is the King of the Jews." Pilate insisted that

    what had been written had been written, and noalteration whatsoever would be made. (John 19:22)

    YOU ARE ALL CHRISTS OF GOD

    Can you see that God Himself dwells with man. He declared

    "this is my beloved Son." (Matt 3:17) And the Son, Our Lord

    Jesus Christ declared, "This is my Father". That is why He

    said, the Comforter whom the Father will send, when He

    comes He will bear witness about me. Who had ever known,

    even amongst you before now, that he is a child of God.

    THERE HAD NEVER BEEN A TIME WHEN YOU KNEW THAT

    YOU WERE CHILDREN OF GOD UNTIL NOW THAT THE

    FATHER HAS REVEALED THAT YE ARE ALL CHRISTS OF

    GOD.

    HITHERTO, DID YOU NOT CLAIM THAT YOU WERE A MAN, WHO

    COMES FROM ORON OR OGOJA OR UGEP OR CAMEROON OR EUROPE?BUT TODAY HAS YOUR MOUTH NOT BEEN SHUT UP BY THEREVELATION OF THE FATHER THROUGH THIS WONDERFUL SERMONTHAT YOU ARE ALL CHRISTS.

    WHAT IS THE MEANING OF BROTHERHOOD? DOES BROTHERHOODNOT MEAN THE CHILDREN OF GOD? BROTHERHOOD MEANS THE

  • 8/2/2019 The Era of the Holy Spirit

    24/38

    CHILDREN OF GOD. BROTHERHOOD IS THE UNITY OF THECHILDREN OF GOD. THAT IS, ONENESS WITH GOD AND ALLCREATIONS. DID YOU NOT SAY THAT GOD HAS NO CHILDREN?The moslems also believe that none can be called the

    children of God. THE CHURCHES OF THE

    CHRISTENDOM BELIEVE THAT CHRIST ALONE IS

    THE ONLY SON OF GOD, THAT NONE ELSE IS FIT TO

    BE A CHILD OF GOD. BUT WHAT IS THE SITUATION

    NOW? ALL OF YOU WHO ARE ASSEMBLED HERE,

    ARE YOU NOT THE CHILDREN OF GOD? ARE YOU

    ORPHANS OR BASTARDS? YOU ARE ALL CHILDREN

    OF GOD.

    WHAT HAS MADE YOU TO UNDERSTAND AND

    BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE ALL CHILDREN OF GOD?

    THE FACT IS THAT YOU NOW BELIEVE AND ACCEPT

    THAT YOU ARE ALL CHILDREN OF GOD BECAUSE

    THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS COME IN PERSON ANDREVEALED TO YOU AS THE CHILDREN OF GOD. WHO

    HAS REVEALED TO THE WHOLE WORLD THAT GOD

    IS THE FATHER? WAS IT NOT THE SON WHO

    REVEALED HIM? IT IS ON THIS BASIS THAT OUR

    LORD JESUS CHRIST SAID THE COMFORTER WHOM

    THE FATHER WILL SEND SHALL WITNESS ABOUT

    ME.

    In the whole world who believe in our Lord JesusChrist? Whoever believed that Christ was the Son ofGOD? Who believes in His word? Who has practiced Hisword? In all the church denominations, who endeavors topractice the teachings of Our Lord Jesus Christ? There

  • 8/2/2019 The Era of the Holy Spirit

    25/38

    is none. Who believes the Holy Spirit as the truth?They always claim that the Holy Spirit had come andgone. What are they doing in the orthodox churchessince they do not believe in the continuous existence

    of the Holy Spirit? They are blind and ignorant of thetruth.

    WE ARE GOD'S VESSELS

    Our Lord Jesus Christ did not base the manifestation ofhis promise on what the world will say, but boldlydeclared that when the Comforter cometh, even theSpirit of truth which proceedeth from the Father. (John15:26) He shall bear witness about Him. HAVE YOU NOT

    SEEN THE VARIOUS GROUPINGS IN THIS KINGDOM? WE HAVE THECHRIST'S STUDENTS, CHRIST'S SERVANTS, CHRIST'SPRACTICAL STUDENTS, CHRIST'S WITNESS, PASTORS,APOSTLES, CHORISTERS, ELDERS, SABBATH CHILDREN AND SOON. ALL THESE NAMES CONSTITUTE THE CHILDREN OF GOD.

    WHAT IS THE NAME OF THIS WONDERFUL SCHOOL? IT ISCALLED "CHRIST'S UNIVERSAL SPIRITUAL SCHOOL OFPRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY (CUSSPC). DO YOU NOT REALIZE

    THAT THIS PROMISE IS BEING MADE MANIFEST? WHO IS DOINGTHE WORKS? HE IS THE ONE RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE WORKS.HE ALONE OPERATES IN ALL THE CAPACITIES MENTIONED. NONEELSE BUT HIM. WE ARE ALL CHILDREN OF GOD. HE OPERATESTHROUGH US.

    WE ARE ONE FLOCK UNDER ONE SHEPHERD. THERE ISNEITHER JEW NOR GREEK, NOR FEMALE, NOR MALE, NOR CHILD,NOR ADULT, NOR DIVISION NOR DISCRIMINATION, NORMALICIOUSNESS, NOR ARE ANY EVIL TENDENCIES FOUND HERE.WE ARE HEIRS TO THE KINGDOM AND EVERYTHING IN THE

    KINGDOM CONCERNS US.

    Who do you think is responsible for all thesemighty works apart from the Holy Spirit? The HolySpirit is directly responsible for these works. Whenpeople argue that there is nothing like the HolySpirit, what can they say now? Is He not responsible

  • 8/2/2019 The Era of the Holy Spirit

    26/38

    for everything? It is not understood by the worldexcepting us here in this Kingdom. BECAUSE HE LOVED ANDREVEALED HIMSELF TO US. HE TEACHES AND LEADS US TO THEACCURATE KNOWLEDGE OF TRUTH. THE COMFORTER, THE SPIRIT

    OF TRUTH, THAT WAS PROPHESIED ABOUT HAS COME AND HE HASREVEALED ALL THINGS TO US.

    THE COMFORTER DOES NOT TEACH THROUGH

    THEOLOGICAL SCHOOLS

    He did promise that when the Comforter comes Heshall teach you all things and remind you of what He

    had said. (John 14:26) In other church denominations,it is common-place that people spend time and money toattend seminary colleges, and theological institutionsto be taught about the word of God, and how to deliversermons. Some even learn how to pray. Such persons arefound reading prayers from books and sermons fromalready well prepared sheets. That is what obtains inthe world. What is the situation in this Kingdom? Thereverse is the case.

    All the preaching, melodious songs, healings,prayers and other wonderful work here are done by theHoly Spirit. This should not escape your memory thatthe promised Holy Spirit is now on earth and isresponsible for all works done around us. Tell it tothe people that the promises of Christ are fulfilled.Tell them that the Comforter has come to stay. Whenpeople ask what you are talking about, what really isin Brotherhood and you reply that there is nothing, whothen is responsible for all these works around us.

    Brethren, who sings, prays, preaches and does all thesethings if you claim that there is nothing inBrotherhood. Is your claim true? SINCE YOU WANT TOATTRIBUTE THE GLORY TO YOURSELF AND CLAIMRESPONSIBILITY FOR THESE WORKS, ALL THESE YEARS THATYOU ARE WANDERING WITH A BASKET-FULL OF TEARS ON YOURHEAD WITHOUT ANY HELP, WERE YOU ABLE TO DO THESE WORKS?

  • 8/2/2019 The Era of the Holy Spirit

    27/38

    WERE YOU ABLE TO COMPREHEND WHAT IS GOING ON HERE? WHYNOT CALL A SPADE A SPADE?

    TAKE A STAND

    Sometimes when you are asked about the phenomenonthat is responsible for these works, you maintainsealed-lips, refusing to speak the truth. You will notcall a spade a spade. All along that you were not here,have these works never been done? Since you are sittingon the fence and neither claim you are the doer of thework nor do you attribute the works to the Holy Spirit,who is responsible for all these works? Who brings the

    dead back to life? Who heals, restores sight to theblind? Who makes the lame to walk, the deaf to hear andthe dumb to speak? The leprous are cleansed, theoppressed are released and those who have court casesare discharged and acquitted. Since you are indifferentand will not declare openly that those works are notdone by you or that they are done by the Holy Spirit,who then is the doer of all these works? OUR WORK IS TOREVEAL HIM TO THE WHOLE WORLD. WE HAVE TO BEAR WITNESS

    ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT AND TELL THE WHOLE WORLD THAT HEIS HERE ON EARTH TO DWELL WITH MEN.

    God Is A Spirit

    Have you not heard that the Lord is the Spirit andwherever the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty? (2Cor 3:17) Our Lord Jesus Christ said, "The hour comethwhen the true worshippers will worship the Father inSpirit and in truth for such the Father seeks to

    worship Him". (John 4:23-24)CAN YOU REALIZE HOW THE TWO STATEMENTS COMPLEMENT

    EACH OTHER. THE FIRST SAYS, THE LORD IS A SPIRIT ANDWHERE THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS, THERE IS LIBERTY. OURLORD JESUS CHRIST SAID, "GOD IS A SPIRIT AND HISWORSHIPPERS MUST WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH".CAN YOU DISTINGUISH BETWEEN THESE TWO STATEMENTS? THERE

  • 8/2/2019 The Era of the Holy Spirit

    28/38

    IS POSSIBLE RESEMBLANCE OF TWO STATEMENTS, FOR THEY AREONE.

    THE CONCEPT OF THE TRIUNE GOD

    Again, Our Lord Jesus Christ said that I and the Fatherare one. (John 10:30) If the Father is a Spirit, itmeans the Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ is a Spirit aswell. Wherever the Father is, there the Christ is alsofound. That is the concept of the oneness of theFather, Son and the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit isresponsible for all these works. But here inBrotherhood of the Cross and Star, it is common to hearthat some people are called wonderful doctor, wonderful

    healer, wonderful preacher and such like names. Allthose who accept these fake names are ignorant of thetruth. As far as I am concerned, I cannot accept suchnames because I have come to the accurate knowledge ofthe truth, to the fact that the Holy Spirit is the onlyone who heals, preaches, prays, sings, counsels anddoes all other works.

    WE ARE POWERLESS

    If you who have been in Brotherhood of the Cross andStar for the past twenty years and more and you havenot been able to understand any bit of Brotherhood, howmuch less the people of the world. On one hand, you vowthat from today you will never do a certain thingagain. By the same time the following day, before yourealize it, you have already indulged in the same actagain. Who is responsible for that? Is it not the Holy

    Spirit, the perfect arranger? On the other hand, youwill vow that you will do a certain thing, that nothingwill hinder you from doing it in the end, you areeluded of the ability to accomplish that thing. Who isresponsible for your inability to do as you wished?This is to make you understand that all of us areempty, excepting the Holy Spirit. We cannot accomplish

  • 8/2/2019 The Era of the Holy Spirit

    29/38

    and comprehend anything by ourselves. We should makereference to Isaiah Chapter two where we are told thatthe mountain of the Lord (the Holy Spirit) shall beelevated above all other hills, and all the nations

    shall come unto it to be taught of Him. (Isa 2:2). Thismeans that the Holy Spirit is the doer of all things.

    THESE WORKS ARE NEITHER DONE BY ME, NOR YOU NOR

    ANYONE ELSE. IT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO IS DOING ALL

    THE WORK. HE IS THE SUPERNATURAL TEACHER. HE IS

    THE HEALER. HE IS THE DIRECTOR. HE IS THE LEADER. HE

    IS THE FATHER AND MOTHER. HE IS THE ONE TEACHING

    AND HE IS THE ONE DOING EVERYTHING. CALL HIM THEHOLY SPIRIT AND UNDERSTAND THAT HE IS THE ONE

    DOING EVERYTHING.

    We have no problems whatsoever in this Kingdom. Ifsomebody confronts you on the issue of the Holy Spirit,declare it openly to Him that the promise of our LordJesus Christ about the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, isnow made manifest. The testimony of our Lord Jesus

    Christ is fulfilled. Neither add nor subtract from it.Brethren, I will not take you further than this. Letour golden text be read.

    GOLDEN TEXT: MATTHEW 12:32

    "And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man,it shall be forgiven Him; but whosoever speakethagainst the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven him,

    neither in this world, neither in the world to come."

    THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE ONLY COCK TO CROW

    BRETHREN, HAVE YOU HEARD THE TEXT? OUR LORD JESUSCHRIST DID NOT BEAR WITNESS ABOUT ANY OTHER PERSONAPART FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT. Peter, James, John, Paul

  • 8/2/2019 The Era of the Holy Spirit

    30/38

    and others bore witness about Our Lord Jesus Christ butChrist bore witness about the Holy Spirit. All theprophets, including Isaiah, Jeremiah, Elijah and otherstestified of Christ, but Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself

    did not bear witness about any other person than theHoly Spirit.

    NOW WE ARE TO BEAR WITNESS ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT AND TOTELL THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD ABOUT HIM ALONE, TELLINGTHEM TO UNDERSTAND THAT HE IS THE ONE DOING ALL THESEWORKS. Whatever we are seeing, the sermon we arehearing, the melodious songs, the dexterous dances, theprayers offered, testimonies and every activity of thisKingdom are all done by the Holy Spirit. He alone is

    responsible for all these works. Since the people ofthe world are still groping in ignorance, they have notbeen led to the accurate knowledge of the truth. Thatis why the concept of the Holy Spirit is very strangeto them.

    HE HAS ASSUMED RULERSHIP ALL OVER THE FLESH. HE RULES

    OVER THE SPIRIT. HE RULES IN THE SUN, IN THE MOON, INTHE WATERS, STARS, OCEANS, SKY, HEAVENS AND EARTH ANDIN ALL VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE PLANETS. HE IS THE ONLYCOCK TO CROW. ALL SCHOOLS OF THOUGHT, SOCIETIES,ORGANIZATIONS, COMPANIES ARE SUBJECTED UNTO THE RULE OFTHE HOLY SPIRIT.

    This explains why you cannot do anything on yourown again. No angel can do anything again. No Jupitercan do anything again, apart from Him. Whatever theHoly Spirit has opened no one can shut, and whatever He

    has shut no one can open. We have no problems, nomatter the amount of the work before us. Should we justbelieve and surrender not only our lives, but everyother thing about us unto Him, knowing quite well thatHe does work, we shall have no further problems.

    In addition, we have to tell it to the people ofthe world that the long expected Holy Spirit, the

  • 8/2/2019 The Era of the Holy Spirit

    31/38

    Comforter, promised long, is now on earth dwellingamongst men. You are also at liberty to open theportion in the Bible that contains these promises madeby Our Lord Jesus Christ. Open to them to prove your

    claim. TELL THEM THAT THE ONE WRITTEN ABOUT, THE SPIRITOF TRUTH, THE COMFORTER HAS COME TO TEACH AND LEADEVERY MAN TO THE ACCURATE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH, ANDTHAT THE TESTIMONY OF CHRIST IS FULFILLED. The HolySpirit will appear immediately, teach and counsel thatperson. He will reveal Himself to the person and youwill be surprised to admit that what you are saying isthe truth. It is not by your preaching, but because theHoly Spirit has counseled Him. If you ask somebody toidentify something which the Holy Spirit has not

    revealed to Him, the person will not know what you arepresenting to him. Even if something is laidconspicuously, if the Holy Spirit does not reveal it toanybody, no one will see it. If He does not ask you tolook at a certain thing, you cannot see it. Therefore,He is the visible and invisible. If He does not revealHimself to anybody, no one will know or comprehend Him.

    THE PROMISE OF GOD FULFILLED

    I have told you that I am not the doer of all theseworks that you have witnessed. Am I insane to tell youthat I am responsible for these works? It had beenwritten about the Holy Spirit to accomplish all theseworks. Now He has come and all the works around us aredone by Him alone. And He said, "If you love Me keep Mycommandments and I will pray the Father, and He shallgive you another Comforter, that He may abide with youforever". Even the Spirit of truth, whom the worldcannot receive, because it seeth Him not, neitherknoweth Him but ye know Him for He dwelleth with you,and shall be in you". (John 14:15-17)

    Brethren, the issue of the Holy Spirit has indeedconfounded the whole world. Where is the wise andprudent? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of

  • 8/2/2019 The Era of the Holy Spirit

    32/38

    this age? Hath God not made foolish the wisdom of thisworld? That is the reason our Lord Jesus Christ toldThomas, blessed is the man who does not see, yet hebelieves. (John 20:29) He was referring to the Holy

    Spirit. If you tell the people of the world that thiswork is done by man, you have blasphemed. What does itcost you to tell the people that the work is done bythe Holy Spirit? The moment you present the Holy Spiritas the doer, you are liberated. Just as the disciplesattributed all the works in those days to our LordJesus Christ, so we are duty-bound in these last daysto attribute all the works around us to the HolySpirit.

    Our duty is to let the whole world realize and believethat the long expected Comforter, the Holy Spirit, hascome to dwell with His children. We have to announce tothem that the Holy Spirit is responsible for all thewonderful works done in these last days. Hitherto theorthodox churches, and, all Christendom never believedin the Holy Spirit but the reverse is the case today.Now all the churches are seeking for the Holy Spirit.By His special grace, the Holy Spirit has revealed

    Himself to them that He loves amongst them.

    ALL POWERS ARE UNDER HIS FEET

    You should realize that all the melodious songsrendered here, all dexterous dances, the efficaciousprayers, the wonderful sermons preached, the reconditewisdom revealed, the thought provoking testimonies, thewonderful healings, the reformation from worldliness togodliness, and others too many to be mentioned,ARE ALL

    ACCOMPLISHED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. Therefore, let thanks,praises, honor, power, dominion and all reverence beascribed to the Holy Spirit in the name of our LordJesus Christ. A-men.

    He has taken dominion over the whole world. All thepowers in heaven and on earth; all the principalities

  • 8/2/2019 The Era of the Holy Spirit

    33/38

    and powers; all the inhabitants of heaven and earth allare subjected unto the rule of the Holy Spirit.Therefore, at all times, especially throughout thisweek, let us listen to Him. Let us submit unto his

    preaching and instructions and practice same.

    I have told you when we started this gospel thatthroughout this week our topic will be the Holy Spirit.I have started with this. In the night I shall analyzethis same topic. Tomorrow and throughout this week, Ishall expatiate and continue on the same line, namely,that the Holy Spirit has come by Himself and that theseworks are accomplished by Him.

    HEED GOD'S INSTRUCTIONS

    Remember what our Lord Jesus Christ said that anyblasphemy against the Holy Spirit is unforgivable,neither in this world nor in the world to come. Bridleyour tongue, be careful of what proceeds out of yourmouth. Also, be careful of what you listen to, and see,so that you will be saved. For it is said "Obedience isbetter than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of

    rams." (1 Sam 15:22). Our work is to listen to theteachings and instructions of the Holy Spirit andpractice them. We have to broadcast them for others toemulate us. Do whatever He commands you to do and sayexactly what He commands you to speak. Comply with allHis dos and don'ts.

    THE MOST PRECIOUS THING IN THIS KINGDOM IS THERECEPTION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT WHICH IS NORMALLYORGANIZED BY THE SPIRITUAL CHILDREN FELLOWSHIP THEWORLD OVER. NO OTHER ACTIVITIES OR CELEBRATION IN THIS

    KINGDOM ARE TO BE COMPARED WITH THE RECEPTION OF THEHOLY SPIRIT. THERE HAS BEEN MARVELOUS SIGNIFICANTCHANGES IN THE WORLD SINCE THE INCEPTION OF THE"RECEPTION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT ON EARTH." IF YOUUNDERSTAND WHAT WE MEAN, YOU WOULD REJOICE GREATLY.

  • 8/2/2019 The Era of the Holy Spirit

    34/38

    REJOICE IN THE HOLY SPIRITWHEN YOU GO OUT TO PREACH, DO NOT PREACH ANY OTHERTHING, BUT TELL THE PEOPLE THAT THE LONG EXPECTED HOLYSPIRIT, THE COMFORTER PROMISED, IS NOW ON EARTH. LET

    THEM KNOW THAT THE TESTIMONY OF CHRIST IS NOWFULFILLED. If anyone asks you to show Him the HolySpirit, tell him to pray very fervently for the HolySpirit to reveal Himself unto him. That is why you areduty bound to go forth and preach the word of God tothe people, that they may repent of their evil deedsand get baptized. He will not fail to receive the HolySpirit. The Holy Spirit will reveal Himself to him,direct, teach and lead him unto the accurate knowledgeof the truth.

    Therefore, let us no longer attribute anything to anyother person, or being, but we should give all thanks,praises, dominion and power and the ability to doeverything unto the Holy Spirit who has come to rulethe whole world. If we attribute everything unto Himfor His divine will to be made manifest, we are saved.

    DO NOT ASCRIBE THE GLORY DUE TO THE HOLY SPIRIT UNTO

    YOURSELF, NEITHER SHOULD YOU GIVE HIS GLORY TO ANYTHINGOR PERSON. DO NOT BLASPHEME AGAINST THE HOLY SPIRIT ASTHIS WILL ATTRACT ETERNAL PUNISHMENT UNTO YOU.

    ANYONE WHO REJECTS THE INSTRUCTIONS OF THE HOLYSPIRIT REJECTS LIFE AND SHALL NOT SEE GOOD DAYS.NOTHING SHALL EVER BE GOOD WITH US AS LONG AS WE DO NOTHEED HIS ADVICE. BUT IF WE COMPLY WITH HIS TEACHINGSAND INSTRUCTIONS, IT SHALL FOREVER BE WELL WITH US INTHE NAME OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.

    Brethren, a stroke of the cane is sufficient unto thewise. I will not be tedious unto you. Let those whohave ears, hear. May God bless His Holy Words. Amen.

    Thank You Holy Father.

    THE TURN OF THE BLACKS:In 1960, some white brethren came down toCalabar and requested the Holy Father to come

    and live in their country.THEIR INTENTION WAS FOR THEM TO BE ABLETO RECORD FATHER'S GOSPELS ANDDISSEMINATE THEM TO EVERY PART OFTHE WORLD. I TOLD THEM THAT THIS IS THETURN OF THE BLACKS.

THE FACT THAT IDECIDE TO REMAIN IN THE AFRICA, MYGOSPELS ARE YET TO BE DISSEMINATED TOEVERY NOOK AND CRANNY OF THE WORLD.
