HOLY THURSDAY

MARY AND MARTHA

THE NEED TO BE DEVOTED

There are many who claim to be Brotherhood members

and for years have never attended any Bible Classes Watch

and Pray and the observation of the weekly Thursday

fasting Such persons do not know where they are and what

Brotherhood of the Crop and Star is all about

When the Lord visited Lazarus His friend Mary sat on His

feet listening to the word of God while Martha Maryrsquos sister

chose to busy herself in the kitchen cooking Martha got

offended that Mary did not assist her in the kitchen but

wasted the whole time listening to Our Lord Jesus Christ In

Marthas thinking Mary was merely idling herself about the

Lord In his response our Lord Jesus Christ questioned

Martha why she allowed the things of this world to trouble

her He made it known to Martha that Mary her sister had

made a better choice by siting before the Lord to listen to

the word of God That was all that was written about Martha

In the scriptures Mary who chose the word of God happened

to be the same person who led others to the grave to

receive the body of Christ but were told that He had risen

Such is the unconditional love which God wants Because

Mary submitted herself to the word of God she had no

problem in practicing it Whoever hears the word of God and

puts same into practice has no problem Except you listen

to the word of god you cannot practice it

When Mary used the sweet smelling ointment of the Lordrsquos

feet Judas and others who were carnally minded got

offended and regarded such as a financial waste But Christ

told them to leave her alone for she was doing it for His

burial Mary at all times distinguished among other women

She never made any wrong choices because she allowed

herself to be guided by the word of God The day she and

other went to the grave yard Martha was not in the group It

was Mary alone who showed much concern right from the

time of crucifixion to the resurrection of Our Lord Jesus

Christ Our Lord Jesus Christ rightly said that he who has

not eaten his flesh and drank of His blood is not worthy of

Him Whatever a man sows that shall he reap None can

cheat God Let the Second Lesson be read again

EXCERPT FROM WHEN WAS CHRIST CRUCIFIED

Golden Text Matthew 26 17 -18 Now the first d~y of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus saying

unto him Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the Passover And he said Go into the city to such a man and say unto him The Master saith My time is at hand I will keep the Passover at thy house with my disciples

THE DAY OF PASSOVER Today is that day our Lord Jesus Christ offered that statement this same day This was to

make you know that this Passover was not prepared in church or prayer houses nor in the bush but He simply told the disciples to go to the city and to a certain mans house Bread was not taken with them Where do you think the bread for the feast ofPassover will come from Again He said He who eats with me in the same dish and I ask do you eat bread in the dish with people While we are here the Passover is being prepared and you have partaken of the Passover with Him He said Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments and shall teach men so he shall be called the least in the Kingdom ofheaven but whosoever shall do ~d teach them the same shall be called great in the kingdom ofheaven( Matt 519) This feast is not celebrated because we have money or because we are worthy it is not performed for our well being but it is done for a remembrance and also for people who were not there that day to know what happened It is said that when one sees the corpse definitely tears must come out of the eyes

You can now see that He was not crucified on Friday but Thursday to avoid any tumult You will also note that this Passover was not prepared on that Wednesday but in advance and this further confLlllS His words to be the veritable truth This afternoon of the Passover started and according to the Jewish way ofcounting time Thursday started a minute after 6 pm of Wednesday evening and that was the start ofHis trial Ifyou partake ofthis feast at 5 pm or 6 pm it is not the Passover After 6 pm the Passover takes place Ifone dies and is buried and you do not pour libation right in front of him you have not poured it to him If a man dies on Monday and when you want to remember him you do it on Tuesday you are wrong That is why we do exactly what happened on that day at the appropriate time whether humanity believes or not This shows you that Christ is the same today tomorrow and forever The disciples asked our Lord Jesus Christ where the Passover would be prepared and the same question has come up today Do not term this question as asked by the Jews and Greeks but regard it as asked by you now

This question also goes to all Christendom Where are you going to prepare the Passover The son ofman is going into His glory and are we not to prepare the Passover It is not-calling Jesus Jesus Lord ofLords and King of Kings but go into the world and ask of where the Passover will be prepared The direct answer is that you should go into the city and enter into a certain mans house and make him know that the Teacher wants a place prepared for the passover

TIIE TRUTII HAS COME TO STAY That is why Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is called Christ Universal Spiritual School

ofPractical Christianity Nothing is added or subtracted and there is no studying but a practical demonstration of the truth of things As God has rightly said any person who adds any word to His word ofprophesy will have all the aftlictions in the Bible and will have his name removed

1

from the book ofHfe Here in Brotherhood ofthe Cross and Star nobody adds and subtracts and this is why our

Lord Jesus Christ said that the Comforter will reveal to you all the truth It is wrong to say that Leader 00 Obu said this or that but say that our Lord Jesus Christ said it That is why when people read through our publications they would tell you that the Leader has confirmed that He is not Christ and now what are you about It is Christ that had said continue to say and will say everything forever The Passover will be prepared and eaten tonight and as soon as you eat it you have taken on yourself the sins ofthe world and you will surrender your lives as a ransom for the salvation of the world as our Lord Jesus did That is why on Wednesday we have the Bible Class Watch and Pray till 3 am Then at 6 am on Thursday starts the fasting depicting the time He was nailed to the Cross

We have no other work to do but to unveil the events ofthat day to those who were not there You may have been there when this event happened and that is why it is always said that we ofthe olden times have come back again If you were not there then how do you come by these names pastor prophet apostle and evangelist Many ofyou do not know why you are appointedin these positions

It is exactly what happened in the past that is re-established and a fulfilment of the proclamation ofour Lord Jesus Christ when He said that the Comforter shall teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance whatsoever I have said unto you And God had set some in the Church first Apostles second Prophets thirdly Teachers after these miracles then gifts ofhealing helpers ofgovernments diversities of tongues (1 Corinthians 1228) and this is what you are seeing today done in Brotherhood ofthe Cross and Star falling in line with what our Lord Jesus Christ had said when He said that the Comforter will open to you all the truth All that you have seen is the revelation ofthe glory ofour Lord Jesus Christ not the glory of anybody You should not look for your personal glories but that of Christ What is done here in Brotherhood ofthe Cross and Star is what had been done it is what we have to do and will be done forever

It is sorrowful that many members of the Brotherhood do not partake ofthe Watch and Pray service and the feast we conduct weekly on every Wednesday but they rather say that God dwells in their hearts Have you not heard what He has said He said whoever does drink of my blood and eats ofmy flesh will have eternal life Again Jesus said to His disciples Ifyou watch with me for an hour and ifyou watch and pray you will not enter into temptation Watch out and pray so that you will not enter into temptation

Did the disciples not enter into temptation Yes they did because they did not watch and pray Our Lord Jesus Christ was arrested at 3 am on Thursday this is the reason we observe a vigil night every Wednesday night to watch and pray at 3 am on the following day

From 3 am until 6 am Our Lord Jesus Christ was tortured This is exactly how we conduct our system so that nothing is added nor subtracted At 9 am He was nailed on the Cross and at 3 pm He shouted and gave up His Ghost and finally at 6 pm on Thursday His body was removed by Joseph ofArimathaea

fyou take stock ofwhat happened to Him on the Cross you will realize that our Lord Jesus Christ deserves to be worshiped honored and respected and we should worship Him with reverence by refraining from sins Here in the Brotherhood ofthe Cross and Star people say that we are worshiping man We worship God We honor God If you say you are a Brotherhood and at this night you are not here what Brotherhood are you

2

If you say that you were here for the Pentecostal Assembly and today you are not partaking in the great feast which type of Pentecostal were you coming to attend Can you now see people claiming to be in Brotherhood for twenty years without deriving any benefit

If you preach and teach others to practice same you are the highest Some Bethels do not keep watch and pray at all while in others they do it and stop at I am Is that Watch and Pray Some Bethels do it without any feast Is that what I teach you Is that Watch and Pray

Even here before Me some Pastors Apostles etc do not come to Watch and Pray Is that the way you can reward Christ This manner of observing Bible Class Lesson will continue forever

Dear Brethren I do not want to be tedious unto you those who have ears let them hear May God add blessings to His Holy words - Amen

Lord Jesus Christ said that the Comforter will reveal to you all the truth It is wrong to say that Leader 00 Obu said this or that but say that our Lord Jesus Christ said it That is why when people read through our publications they would tell you that the Leader has confirmed that He is not Christ and now what are you about It is Christ that had said continue to say and will say everything forever The Passover will be prepared and eaten tonight and as soon as you eat it you have taken on yourself the sins ofthe world and you will surrender your lives as a ransom for the salvation of the world as our Lord Jesus did That is why on Wednesday we have the Bible Class Watch and Pray till 3 am Then at 6 am on Thursday starts the fasting depicting the time He was nailed to the Cross

We have no other work to do but to unveil the events ofthat day to those who were not there You may have been there when this event happened and that is why it is always said that we ofthe olden times have come back again If you were not there then how do you come by these names pastor prophet apostle and evangelist Many ofyou do not know why you are appointedin these positions

It is exactly what happened in the past that is re-established and a fulfilment of the proclamation ofour Lord Jesus Christ when He said that the Comforter shall teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance whatsoever I have said unto you And God had set some in the Church first Apostles second Prophets thirdly Teachers after these miracles then gifts ofhealing helpers ofgovernments diversities of tongues (1 Corinthians 1228) and this is what you are seeing today done in Brotherhood ofthe Cross and Star falling in line with what our Lord Jesus Christ had said when He said that the Comforter will open to you all the truth All that you have seen is the revelation ofthe glory ofour Lord Jesus Christ not the glory of anybody You should not look for your personal glories but that of Christ What is done here in Brotherhood ofthe Cross and Star is what had been done it is what we have to do and will be done forever

It is sorrowful that many members of the Brotherhood do not partake ofthe Watch and Pray service and the feast we conduct weekly on every Wednesday but they rather say that God dwells in their hearts Have you not heard what He has said He said whoever does drink of my blood and eats ofmy flesh will have eternal life Again Jesus said to His disciples Ifyou watch with me for an hour and ifyou watch and pray you will not enter into temptation Watch out and pray so that you will not enter into temptation

Did the disciples not enter into temptation Yes they did because they did not watch and pray Our Lord Jesus Christ was arrested at 3 am on Thursday this is the reason we observe a vigil night every Wednesday night to watch and pray at 3 am on the following day

From 3 am until 6 am Our Lord Jesus Christ was tortured This is exactly how we conduct our system so that nothing is added nor subtracted At 9 am He was nailed on the Cross and at 3 pm He shouted and gave up His Ghost and finally at 6 pm on Thursday His body was removed by Joseph ofArimathaea

fyou take stock ofwhat happened to Him on the Cross you will realize that our Lord Jesus Christ deserves to be worshiped honored and respected and we should worship Him with reverence by refraining from sins Here in the Brotherhood ofthe Cross and Star people say that we are worshiping man We worship God We honor God If you say you are a Brotherhood and at this night you are not here what Brotherhood are you

2

If you say that you were here for the Pentecostal Assembly and today you are not partaking in the great feast which type of Pentecostal were you coming to attend Can you now see people claiming to be in Brotherhood for twenty years without deriving any benefit

If you preach and teach others to practice same you are the highest Some Bethels do not keep watch and pray at all while in others they do it and stop at I am Is that Watch and Pray Some Bethels do it without any feast Is that what I teach you Is that Watch and Pray

Even here before Me some Pastors Apostles etc do not come to Watch and Pray Is that the way you can reward Christ This manner of observing Bible Class Lesson will continue forever

Dear Brethren I do not want to be tedious unto you those who have ears let them hear May God add blessings to His Holy words - Amen

HOLY THURSDAY WATCH AND PRAY

THE BENEVOLENCE OF GOD Before I bless you I have to give you Spiritual Food and our spiritual food is drawn from

MATTHEW 26 31

Then saith Jesus unto them All shall be offended because of me this n~qht

for lt is written I will smite the shepherd and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad

~retnren you all are aware ot what today 15 It was on a night like thIS

hat certain unique events occurred which transformed the world for the ent~remiddot mankind to receive salvation It is the revelation of the passage red2 0 you that has kept us till now Many of you do not know the purpose for ~hlCh you are called You simply come here to be ordained and your feet ~ashed THE ESSENTIAL THING THAT SHOULD PREOCCUPY YOUR MIND IS YOUR PERSONAL SALVATION WHICH YOU HAVE IGNORED It should have been the pre-occupation of he entire humanity to show a thankful heart to the being who paid that s~preme and final sacrifice for the redemption of mankind Many people oel~eve that Our Lord had come while a lot of others are still expectlng Hlrr crash-land from the skies THAT IS WHY IT IS NECESSARY TO BRING TO YOUR REMEMBRANCE THAT IT WAS ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT LIKE THIS TKAT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST PAID THAT SUPREME SACRIFICE

WE KEEP WATCH AND PRAY SERVICE EVERY WEDNESDAY NIGHT TO COMMEMORATE THIS SIGNIFICANT EVENT TO DAY IS NOT A DAY TO BE TOYED WITH THAT WAS WHY OUR LORD JESUS middotCHRIST ASKED HIS DISCIPLES TO WATCH WITH HIM FOR AT LEAST ONE HOUR He was arrested at 300 am being the early hours of THURSDAY MORNING AND THAT IS WHY WE IN BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR CONDUCT OUR WATCH AND PRAY UNTIL 3 00 AM AND BEYOND

IT WAS ALSO ON THAT FATEFUL WEDNESDAY NIGHT THAT HE WASHED THE FEET OF THE TWELVE DISCIPLES AND UNITED THEM AS ONE There we have nothing to do ~lth me because all things are done as the Father pleases His actlons can never ~e challenged or questioned All things done here have their spiritual essence

THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE NOT BEEN OBSERVING W~TCH AND PRAY SESSIONS SHOU~ STARTshyRIGHT NOW IN_EARNEST TO OBSERVE IT IT IS IMPERATIVE TO DO SO IN ABSOLUTE LOVE AND APPRECIATION OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WHO DIED FOR US Therefore oelng elected as prophet and your feet or hand washed is merely a secondary ~ssue THE CRUX OF THE MATTER IS TO SHOW APPRECIATION TO OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST FOR USING HIS BLOOD TO PURCHASE AND TO TRANSFORM HUMANITY AND YOU SHOULD AGREE WITH ME THAT IF IT WERE NOT THE ARREST THAT NIGHT AND HIS ULTIMATE DEATH THE WORD OF GOD WOULD HAVE BEEN IN VAIN BUT IT HAD TO HAPPEN BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN WRITTEN OF HIM IT WAS GODS MASTER-PLAN WE ARE SAVED BY GRACE WE SIMPLY INHERIT THIS KINGDOM THROUGH HIS MAGNANIMITY AND THEREFORE THIS TIME OF HIS RULE AND REIGN SHOULD NOT BE TOYED WITH Your mundane ~sdom riches position or even suggestion is not needed here You are to enJoy this kingdom gratis There is nobody who will not want to be here but the eality of it is that it is only those who are needed that are called THE ABILITY TO DO SOMETHING COMES FROM THE FATHER AND NOT FROM ANYBODY ELSE AND YOU CANNOT 00 ANYTHING BETTER THAN WHAT HE HAS PREORDAINED FOR YOU 3rethren 1 do not want to take you further let those who have ears to heal -ear May God bless His Holy Words Amen ntADUOtAIJO~AO THANK YOLI HOLY FATIIER U01ltI~~~~~~S~~
