FATHER ADDRESSES MEMBERS OF THE PRESS
AN ADDRESS PRESENTED BY HIS HOLINESS, OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU, THE KING OF KINGS AND THE LORD OF LORDS TO THE MEMBERS OF THE PRESS CORPS DURING THE DINNER WITH THE MEMBERS OF THE PRESS HELD AT THE BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR WORLD HEADQUARTERS, 34 AMBO STREET, CALABAR, CROSS RIVER STATE, NIGERIA.

Gentlemen of the Press

We thank the Holy Father immensely for this auspicious occasion of this unique dinner which has afforded us all the opportunity to interact with one another. This type of get-together is unique as it affords us the opportunity of proper acquaintance with one another, thereby, enabling us to truly understand core issues especially as it concerns Brotherhood of the Cross and Star in their true perspectives.

Let me begin by thanking the Media for the dynamic role they have played over the years in facilitating the spread of the knowledge of this Kingdom throughout the nooks and crannies of the world. Information is a crucial factor in all that we do on earth and without it, no mission with an objective can be accomplished. For this among other areas the Press has been of immense use to the New Kingdom. I welcome you all to this unique gathering.

BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR AND ITS LEADERSHIP
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, the Christ's Universal Spiritual School of Practical Christianity was established by the Holy Father, Leader Olumba Olumba Obu, the Sole Spiritual Head of the Universe as the last hope for the perishing man to redeem him from the bondage of ignorance, sin and death. This is done to fulfill that which was spoken by our Lord Jesus Christ in John chapter 16 verses 7-13, that the Comforter, even the Spirit of Truth will come and lead mankind to the accurate knowledge of the truth. This, the Holy Father actualized by setting up this wonderful Kingdom as the School of Life where humanity will be taught the values that will lead them to eternal life, and the last hope of man, that is, the New Kingdom of God on earth.

Brotherhood means God, Christ, man, angels, fishes in the water, animals in the bush, all the flying, creeping, and crawling and aquatic life forms. It is the grass in the fields, the plankton, and the protoplast, and all the other forms of celestial and terrestrial life bound together in the love for one another. The Cross is the bonding power of love expressed in total tolerance and accommodation of each other's faults and short comings without bias and malice, and with no intent on revenge or retaliation. And the Star is the glory of God which is achieved by the love for one another. It is the Christ, the Star and the glory of Kingdom of God. Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is the New Kingdom of God on earth where Christ rules and reigns supreme with the Father God as it is written in the Book of Revelations chapter 11 verse 15 that; "The kingdoms of this world have become the Kingdom of our God and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever"
The motto is 'Hope, Faith and Love'. And the Father mandates that we should abide by the sacred foundation of the eternal Brotherhood Kingdom that stipulates; "Honor all men, love the Brotherhood. Fear God, and honor the king" 1 Peter 2 verse 17.

LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
Leader Olumba Olumba Obu is the Founder and Leader of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. He is the originator of the Brotherhood of man, who has come to lead man to the accurate knowledge of the truth and to teach man the right way to eternal life. He came to establish the New Kingdom of God on earth, and to also reveal the Christ in glory as it is written in John chapter 16 verses 7-14. He is the Sole Natural Head of all spirits, and the Sole Spiritual Head of the Universe, who has come on earth as the Personified Holy Spirit even the Promised Comforter to lead man into the way of life.

Physically, He was born in the year 1918 into the family of Olumba Obu in Onoronwanza village of Biakpan in the present Biase Local Government Area of Cross River State of Nigeria. With little or no formal education, He has expounded deeply on virtually all aspects of Divine mysteries even beyond that which was taught by our Lord Jesus Christ. This is in fulfillment of what was spoken by our Lord Jesus Christ that, "I have yet many things to say unto you but you cannot bear them now. Howbeit, when He the Spirit of Truth is come, He will lead you all into all truth. He shall glorify me, and will show you things to come". John 16:12-13.

He has taught and demonstrated practically to all mankind the practicable way of life whereby man should live and attain eternal life. He has proffered solutions on the true worship of God, parental guidance and control of the house hold without recourse to undue violence, secrets of marital bliss, family management, social guidelines and ethics, practical philosophy of life, emotional management and control, holistic health and living, right approach to the worship of God, the true value and meaning of life among other things. That is why He brought the New Kingdom of God on earth called Brotherhood of the Cross and Star which He also called the School of Inner Life, otherwise known as the Christ's Universal Spiritual School of Practical Christianity where all the virtues and values of wholesome existence are taught to man gratis. The singular objective is to ensure that man does not perish but is redeemed from death in sin unto true life in God.

BELIEFS AND PRACTICES
THE WHITE GARMENT: Revelation 6:7-9, 7:9-17: The dressing in white fulfills the prophecy that when the LORD shall come to gather His own out of the earth, they shall be clad in white robes. This is the dress code for the redeemed of the LORD. It is written; 'These are they which were redeemed from the earth, therefore, are they clad in white robes, white and clean'. The White garment symbolized perfection in the Blood of the Lamb. It is the special honor and privilege granted by the LORD God to those whom it has pleased Him to grant redemption from the earth. And whoever He deigns to redeem must be clad in this White Robe, for this is the Divine Royal Garment. 1 Peter 2:17; "You are a lucky generation, a royal priesthood, a peculiar people'.

WALKING BARE FOOT: Exodus 3:5: It is written in the Scriptures that Heaven is the Throne of God and the earth is His footstool. In Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, we acknowledge that everywhere we are, God's presence pervades. Therefore, whenever we are clad especially in the Royal Garment (the White Soutan); it is incumbent upon us not to desecrate the sanctity of that Divine grace of being clad in the garment of glory by putting on any foot wear. Moreover, in Luke 10 verse 4, our Lord Jesus Christ enjoined the disciples to carry no shoes in the course of their missionary duties. Man is the conduit of the Holy Spirit and in him; God manifests His powers in healing and other impartations. By leaving the feet free from the encumbrances of footwear, man enables himself to become an uninterrupted conduit for the flow of the energy of the Holy Spirit.

VEGETARIANISM (VEGANISM): Genesis 1 verses 29-30: The Holy Father advocates total abstinence from the consumption of any animal, avian or aquatic derivatives as all lives are sacred to Him. However, the Scriptures nominate that whosoever does not eat the Body of our Lord Jesus Christ and drink His Blood has no portion in Him, John 6:51-55. The Brotherhood of the Cross and Star pattern of Menu is completely holistic that abhors the consumption of animal, avian or aquatic life forms for food. That is what ensures continued good health and well being which genuine children of BCS enjoy. Even terrible medical conditions can easily be overcome through a Vegan lifestyle, which even modern medical sciences have proven.

BAPTISM OF IMMERSION: Matthew28:18-20, Mark 16:15-18, Galatians 3:27: Without the baptism of immersion as practiced in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, one cannot receive the power of the Holy Spirit. Many people wonder at the secret of the power in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, and why no power on earth can prevail against them. This secret power is only obtainable through this sacrament of righteousness which is washing away of our sins in the Blood of the Lamb.

THE RED GARMENT OF THE HOLY FATHER: Revelations 19:11-13: The Red Garments of our Holy Father symbolizes the Blood of the Lamb which was shed on the Cross of Calvary for the salvation of humanity. It is only the Holy One from Heaven, even the Spirit of Truth that is qualified to be clad in the Blood of the Lamb. Even Prophet Isaiah in chapter 63 verses 1-5, confirmed the identity of He who is clad in Red as the Almighty God who has chosen to come from the stock of Edom (Esau) to visit vengeance and recompense on the sons of men. He is Leader Olumba Olumba Obu, the Sole Spiritual Head of the Universe.

HOLY FATHER'S ABSENCE FROM THE THRONE: 1st Corinthians 15:20-28, John 5:22-26, John 16:12-13, Daniel 7:13-14: It is written that the time will come when the Father will submit all power and authority to the Son, and all principalities will be subject to the authority of the Son. Revelations chapter 20 reveals two types of manifestations of God in judgment in the last days. In the first instance, the Son of man will gather the chosen into Book of Life, and afterwards, the Father in Glory will execute the Great White Throne Judgment to reward the righteous who have been selected by the Son and punish the wicked whose names are not found in the Lamb's Book of Life.. That moment is now.

DETRACTORS, PROPONENTS AND OPPONENTS OF THE KINGDOM: John 13:16-17, John 15:18-25: The persecution of some misinformed and misguided section of our society who out of misunderstanding of the Brotherhood philosophy and mission of our Holy Father, Leader Olumba Olumba Obu castigate Brotherhood and persecute the members, is a manifestation of the Words of our Lord Jesus Christ. Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is of God. It is founded on the foundation of the Blood of the Lamb. The entire humanity cannot understand or comprehend Brotherhood except the chosen ones because it is from the Throne of God and it is written in John chapter 3 verse 27 that; "A man can receive nothing unless it given to him from above". The opprobrium of the misguided ones against the New Kingdom is sure evidence that this Kingdom is from above.

I want to use this medium to thank the brethren of the FOURTH ESTATE for their efforts in reaching out to the Kingdom for verification of facts and issues as it concerns Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. I equally appreciate the vitriolic attacks of some misinformed sections of the Media as these have equally provoked intense curiosity about the Kingdom in the public and has culminated in a more intimate and interactive BCS/Media relationship.

I equally want to use this opportunity to thank all those who through their individual and/or collective efforts have spoken, written, or sang about this glorious Kingdom either in the Media, on the Pulpit, by word of mouth, in castigation or praise, propagation or persecution, calumny or appreciation etc, for all their wonderful efforts in spreading the message of this New Kingdom of God to all mortals and spirits. The Holy Father will bless every one of them bountifully according to their works, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. The Scriptures is indeed fulfilled in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, for it is written that, 'Everything worketh for good unto them that love the LORD, and work according to His commandments'.

I want to use this opportunity to inform all and sundry that all the doers of evil and unrighteous works will not go unpunished. Today, the Word of our Lord Jesus Christ is fulfilled, as it is written in Revelations 22:10-15 thus; "And he said to me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this Book: for the time is at hand…He that is unjust, let him be unjust still, and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he which is holy, let him be holy still…And, behold, I come quickly, and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his works shall be…I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last…Blessed are they that do the commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city…For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie"

Gentlemen of the Press, I want to thank the Holy Father for the unique opportunity He has availed all of us this day to be the partakers of this special moment. The hour of truth has come when the children of God all over the world shall know the truth in order to be saved. The era of undoing one another has passed away. This is the era of the Holy Spirit which is the era of truth over falsehood.

The recent event that was celebrated in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star tagged; "THE GOLDEN JUBILEE ANNIVERSARY OF THE MARCH OF THE REDEEMED" marked the end of falsehood and all the evil machinations of man. This is the time for truth, justice, equity, fair play, honesty in all realms of human endeavour, and righteousness to prevail on earth. The March of the Redeemed brought to a conclusion all the wickedness and intrigues that have pervaded the hearts of men. This is the time of restitution and return of whatever evil man has perpetrated against God and fellow man back to the perpetrator.

Therefore, I am seizing this opportunity to forewarn all the leaders and rulers of the human family in both political and administrative circles that the era of wickedness, vindictiveness and brinkmanship is gone. This is the appointed time that man must love, honor and reverence God, and flee from all manners of evil works, because, whatever any man sows from hence, he/she must reap the benefits immediately.
As you go back to your respective Media Houses, go in peace and blessings of My Father. Write the truth, print the truth and publish the truth, for it is only the truth that can make the human family free from the impending catastrophe that is about to visit the sinful and unbelieving.

Let My peace and blessings abide with the entire world, for now and ever more. Amen.
Thank You Father.
