1-888-958-5813 PRAYER LINE 24/7 (Brotherhood of the Cross and Star) "LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS CHRIST LOVED US." We can also give free gospel's at no cost to you. The everlasting teachings of Christ are always for the sake of salvation therefore they must always remain free.

1. "FORGIVENESS IS THE KEY TO GODLINESS"
1ST LESSON: ST LUKE 17:4 "And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and
seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him."
2ND LESSON: COLOSSIANS 3:13 "Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another,
if any man has a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye".
GOLDEN TEXT: ST. MATTHEW 18: 35 "So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also
unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not everyone his brother their trespasses.".
Brethren, this is a singular and spectacular Gospel. It will not be much but brief. It has
nothing to say about fornication, stealing, anger and other vices but is centered on
forgiving one another. If you do not give into works of the flesh, like adultery,
fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance,
emulation, wrath, strife, sedition, heresy, envying, murdering, drunkenness, revealing,
and such like vices but you fail to forgive others, their trespasses against you, then you
are lost. Brethren, have you heard that word? That is why I always tell you that I would
wish that you were here always to hear all the things that make man stumble revealed
to you. Today, I do not intend to be tedious unto you.
Our topic of discussion will be forgiveness. If anyone offends you and asks for
forgiveness, you must forgive him. If one offends you seven times a day and asks for
forgiveness seven times a day, you are duty-bound to forgive and forget. The Key to
This Kingdom of God is in the word, FORGIVENESS. This was in the last of the teaching
our Lord Jesus Christ imparted to His Disciples. He also practiced this teaching. As the
Last Food He had with the disciples is called the Last Supper, so is this Gospel called the
Last Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
FORBEARANCE
Any time you are sick or exposed to any afflictions that tends to take your life, the first
thing to do is to forgive all those who offended you and everything will be well. If you
have someone in your mind that you have not forgiven, you have caused death to
yourself. Though you have practiced all the other gospels and you fail to practice this
one, salvation will surely elude you.
COUNT NO SIN FOR ANYBODY AND FORGIVE.

2. If someone calls you a thief or murderer, abuses you, steals from you, kills your relation
or a member of your family, do not count sin on him. You must forgive and forget. If
someone commits adultery with your wife, assassinates your character and that of your
wife, or worse still unlawfully impregnates your daughter, burns down your home or
destroys your property willfully or not, you are duty bound to forgive and forget.
If someone lies against you, or in fact deals with you nonchalantly commits any act or
manner of sin or atrocity against you it is your responsibility to forgive him and forget
what he has done against you.
FORGIVENESS IS THE SHORT CUT TO THIS KINGDOM
It is neither long nor wide. Pass through this door and you will surely inherit this
Kingdom. This Gospel is short but tedious. Since you were bent, all the offences that
have been committed against you must now be forgiven and forgotten. If someone has
waylaid you, or destroyed and assassinated your character, forgive him NOW. This
Gospel is founded on Truth. It is salvation to those who believe and practice it, but
damnation for those who ignore it. The route to Heaven is open to the entire world if
they forgive one another. THE PROVISO: Our Lord Jesus Christ gave this injunction to
humanity:
"So likewise: shall my heavenly Father do unto you if ye from your hearts forgive not
everyone his brother their trespasses"
If you do not forgive others their trespasses and offences against you, God will surely
retain your own trespasses likewise. You, who claim that even if God was to descend on
earth, that you will never forgive, tell me, do you now see your problem? If you are so
righteous and practiced all the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ, but fail to bow to this
Gospel being revealed to you today, Salvation will surely elude you.
If you practice this Gospel, you will have eternal life, but if you fail, damnation awaits
you. If you do not forgive you will be filled with darkness and this situation will lead you
to commit more hideous sins. If you learn to forgive, from today you will be filled with
Light and this Light will lead you to practice more righteousness. Darkness will never
prevail over you. Your ways will be open. All ailments and tribulation will flee from you.
To forgive costs nothing. It is neither singing nor dancing. It is not fun either. Many
people are fond of saying that they have no money, or melodious voice to sing. Neither
can they speak languages, nor have the means to go on missionary visits to spread the
word of God; but I tell you brethren that it does not need all those to please God, rather
sit down where you are and practice this Gospel of forgiveness. You will notice that
forgiveness is not among the Ten Commandments. It is a distinct and new law, which is
more powerful than all other commandments.
If' one professes to be a Christian and this knowledge of forgiveness eludes him, let him

3. know that he is a child of perdition. If you observe this commandment alone you have
fulfilled all other Laws and your ways are opened bearing in mind that the Israelites
wanted to observe the law and have salvation, but they failed and perished in the final
analysis.
THE RELATIVE CHAIN-LINK
You have heard that, "For whosoever shall keep the law, and yet offend in one point, he
is guilty of all. For he that said, do not commit adultery, also said do not kill. Now if thou
commit no adultery yet, if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law". Now if
you practice this Gospel, you have covered all other commandments thereby obtaining
justification by grace from God, with salvation as its aftermath. I am not saying that you
will be saved. I am saying that you are saved already. You are all aware of the fact that it
could not have taken as much as 140 years to journey from Jerusalem to Egypt and then
Canaan. This is simply parabolic in its usage. If you practice this gospel, you will realize
that the sins against the Ten Commandments constitute the long route to salvation
whereas if you forgive one another, God will forgive you and you will pass through the
short route to salvation.
If you assimilate this Gospel and practice the same, you are saved for eternity.
Brethren, this Gospel is harder to practice than the others.
For someone to take your wife or husband and you are enjoined to forgive that person
and forget the whole thing seems very difficult, but if you practice it that is where your
salvation will be. Think of someone taking away all your money by deception, and the
very next minute that person passes you on the road with all pride and arrogance, yet
you are told to forgive that person. It is not an easy task.
Again, consider someone who goes to bear a totally unprovoked and unjustified false
witness against you and yet you are asked to forgive him. It is also difficult to forgive
someone who has robbed you blind. Do not think about whatever that is done against
you because forgiving your enemy is the way to salvation and eternal life. If you start
from today to practice this Gospel, it will be peace to your soul and your way also will be
full of light. The day you vow that you will never forgive your enemy, that is the day you
have paved the way for your destruction.
THE GREAT REWARD IN PRACTISING THIS GOSPEL
Brethren: you can now see why our Lord Jesus Christ said that those who initiated His
crucifixion should be forgiven by His Father- God, because they never knew what they
had done. If our Lord Jesus Christ had not uttered this statement, He would have
perished. There would have been no way our Lord Jesus Christ would have been
forgiven. What sin is greater than that committed against our Lord Jesus Christ? Yet He

4. asked the Father to forgive His accusers and enemies, because they did not know what
they were doing.
Note that the people who crucified our Lord Jesus Christ did not come forward to beg
for forgiveness before He said those words. Whoever you are; whatever position you
have in this life or before God; if you fail to forgive your enemies, you have failed
woefully! Romans 12: 19 says,
"Dearly beloved avenges not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath, for it is
written, Vengeance is mine: I will repay, says 'The Lord'. It is the duty of God to avenge
even for the smallest rat, goat, trees, birds and the whole humanity, if they adhere to
His injunctions. Whatever you do to someone else, God will do the same in the exact
measure to you.
ONLY THE FATHER CAN FORGIVE AND ADMONISH
God is your Father as well as the Father of the other person. You and your entire
household, friends and enemies, have the same Father.
If anyone sins, he exposes himself to the vengeance of God. God does not have a
special love for anyone whereby He gives concessions. No He is not a respecter of
persons. He judges in righteousness. That is why He has said that you should forgive
who ever trespassed against you, so that He will equally forgive your trespasses against
Him. If you fail to keep this particular injunction, you have automatically become a
victim of His judgment and vengeance.
Consider this parable:
"The Kingdom of God will be likened unto a certain king who would take account of his
servants. And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, who owed him
ten thousand talents. But for as much as he had not paid, the king commanded him to
be sold and his wife and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. The
servant therefore fell down and worshipped the king, saying, Lord, have patience with
me and I will pay thee all. The Lord of that servant was moved with compassion and he
forgave him the debt. But the same servant went out and found one of his fellow
servants who owed him a hundred pence; and he laid hands on him and took him by the
throat, saying pay me that thou owes me. And his fellow servant fell down at his feet
and besought him saying, have patience with me and I will pay thee all.
And he would not; but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt. So
when his fellow servant saw what was done they were very sorry, and came and told
their lord what was done. Then his Lord, after that he had called him, said unto him. O
thou wicked servant; I forgave thee all that debt because thou desire me. Should not
thou therefore have had compassion on thy fellow servant even as I had pity on thee?
And his lord was filled with wrath, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should

5. pay all that was due unto him...." St. Matthew 18: 23-24
What happened to this wicked servant will surely happen to anyone who after pleading
with God for the forgiveness of their sins and shortcomings, and he is forgiven but
would refuse to forgive his fellow man even for the smallest offence committed on him.
YOU CAN ATTRACT FORGIVENESS
You recall when the disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ asked Him to teach them how to
pray, as John the Baptist had done with his followers. The Lord taught them thus:
"...And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors...! St. Matthew 6: 12 Forgiveness
is the Key! Many times people complain that God does not answer their prayers; and
now you have seen that this particular prayer has found you and I. The question is have
you forgiven those who have sinned against you? If you say our Lord's Prayer, given
above, and fail to comply with it and fail to forgive others you have committed a double
sin. Due to the adulterated nature of life in this world, the crafty and shallow wisdom of
man has been exposed. Mankind now ask God to teach them how to forgive, relegating
the prayer of our Lord above to the background. I ask how many times are they going
to be taught? Our Lord said, "And forgive us our debts as we forgive others their
debt..." Brethren, it is now clear where your problem hangs, you can fast and pray till
your life is almost spent. If you do not forgive those who sin against you, you are lost.
YOU MAY GIVE YOUR BODY TO BE, BURNT BY FIRE, SHARE ALL YOUR RICHES
WITH THE POOR, CONDUCT FEAST EVERYDAY, BUT IF YOU FAIL TO FORGIVE
YOUR ENEMIES, ALL WHAT YOU HAVE DONE IS IN VAIN:
A lot of you sitting here have got someone in your minds you now want to forgive and
any time you come across these persons, you sigh. As you have decided not to forgive
that person, you have exposed yourself to the judgment of God unless you forgive that
person and make peace with him, forgetting all what has been done to you; your way to
salvation is still far-fetched. If you do not reckon sins against your neighbor, none will
dare reckon sins on you. There would be no law courts, prison or police. If you do not
reckon sins on your neighbor, your heart is pure and clean, and you can see God and
fully communicate with Him. Love and forgive your neighbor and speak the truth. Be
free with every one in everything. As I do not intend to be tedious unto you, let us now
have the first bible lesson:
1st Bible Lesson: St Luke 17: 4
"And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn
again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him."
Brethren have you heard that? Upon all the sins committed by human beings against
God, which had previously moved God to destroy the human race, but for our Lord

6. Jesus Christ who came to atone for our sins. God forgave the world her sins. Since man
has no iota of righteousness in him, nor can he forsake sins of his own accord, God
decided to forgive man out of His tender mercies.
The parable given above are for the people of the world. Upon all the sins of the world,
God forgave because of our Lord Jesus Christ. And He says we must follow suit. But, see
a man whose wife has been coveted by another man. Despite all pleas for mercy from
different quarters, this man whose wife was coveted by another man stiff-nakedly
decides to take the life of the wanton man. See the way Potiphar quickly imprisoned
Joseph, when his wife falsely accused Joseph of attempting to rape her. And I ask you
how would Potiphar find out the truth? Did salvation not elude him because of his
actions?
FORGIVE ONE ANOTHER
Brethren, the entire world is filled with sins but because of our Lord Jesus Christ, God
forgave the entire world. Then He gave an injunction that the whole world must learn of
Him. When people complain that there is so much suffering in the world today, though
Our Lord Jesus Christ has atoned for our sins, it is because the world has not learnt to
forgive and forget.
Moses gave the well-known law, that one must love only those who love them and hate
those who hate them equally. Even now you proclaim that this is the era of our Lord,
yet you repay evil for a good turn that has been done to you. Our Lord Jesus Christ said
in St. Luke 17: 3-4 that "Take heed to yourselves; if thy brother trespass against thee,
rebuke him; and if he repent forgive him. And if he trespass against thee seven times in
a day, and seven times in a day turns to thee, saying, I repent, thou shalt forgive him."
Thus in this New Kingdom of God here on earth, we do not know what is called sin.
Since Christ died once for our sins the life He leads now has nothing to do with sin. Sin
therefore has no power over us. All those who now-input sin on others has crucified our
Lord the second time and have publicly put shame to His Holy Name. All those who do
not forgive others do not believe that the Lord died for our sins and such people are
woeful sinners. They have rejected life and are consumed with afflictions and sufferings
in multiform.
The word of God says,
'For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath showed no mercy, and mercy
rejoiceth against Judgment. "James 2: 13. If you are fond of forgiving others you have
escaped judgment and you are already saved. Where is your salvation, you who reckon
sins against others?
You are a rogue, but when another rogue breaks into your house you fail to forgive him.

7. And I ask you, how do you expect to be forgiven for your own roguery?
What sin has someone committed against you that you have not committed against
someone else? What do you lose in forgiving others so that God will in turn forgive you?
Brethren, do you know that lack of spiritual understanding has exposed you to doom? It
is in your own interest to forgive others because your own sins are more grievous and
heinous than those done against you.
If someone says woe unto you what has it got to do with you? Do you lose anything?
What pain has it inflicted on you that you cannot forgive? You are not a thief but
someone stands up to swear that you are one. Does his oath or allegations make you a
thief! Why then can you not forgive him? You have not committed adultery with
someone's wife or husband, but your accuser stands up to condemn you vehemently. Is
it God who knows everything? Your only way to salvation is forgiving one another
regardless of what you have suffered. If you do not forgive your offender, both of you
are bound to be lost!
If you claim to be a true Brotherhood, do not reckon sin for anyone. Rather always be
ready to forgive and forget and be free with everyone. Our brother, Paul said in
Philippians 3: 13 -
"Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting
those things which are behind and reaching forth unto those things which are before".
What is the actual meaning of forgetting those things, which are behind? It is forgetting
all the offences and sins committed against you by others. Immediately this is done,
your ways are open and you continue then in well doing. Do you know what hinders you
from doing good and practicing the injunctions of our Lord Jesus Christ? It is your
failure to forgive and forget.
FORGE AHEAD IN WELL-DOING
Our Lord told that young man who asked His permission to go and bid farewell to them
which were in his house before he follows Him, "And Jesus said unto him, no man
having put his hand to the plough, and looking back is fit for the Kingdom of God." St.
Luke 9: 62.
We are saved by grace. This grace is obtained by forgiving others. It is very simple. You
realize that you are a sinner and that your neighbor is also a sinner like you.
If both of you forgive one another wholeheartedly, God will surely forgive your sins and
give you salvation. You do not lose anything in forgiving others. What do you lose by
forbearing one another? You rather gain pardon and exoneration from the judgment of
God. What will you profit in taking someone to court? You and your offender will surely
perish through this act. People are tempted to ask why Brotherhood of the Cross and
Star members no matter their numerical strength, avoid strife and unrest. The reason is

8. because they are under grace and no matter what their fellow members do to them,
they always forgive and forget.
GRACE ABOUNDS IN MIDST OF SINS
Satan has vowed that he will not allow anybody to serve God; this is the reason why he
has infested the entire world with retaliation. God seeing this introduced a short cut for
man to enter into this Kingdom and this short cut is forgiving one another. If you
uphold this injunction, you are saved and nothing shall pluck you from the hands of
God. If someone has not offended you, he is always bold to your face, but the minute he
offends you, he falls on his knees to beg for forgiveness, whether he is a governor,
president etc. And if you forgive him, he will acclaim you as a true child of God. You
may note that hitherto this man never used to greet you; this is why offence has to
come for grace to abound.
If you give a person one million pounds, he will have the appreciation that you have
given him money, but he is more appreciative when he steals your money, and you
refuse to sue him to court or disclose it to anyone. There is no greater work of God than
forgiving one another. This is why you are advised to have love because love goes with
mercy and forgiveness. The word forgiveness sounds so small but it is the most difficult
word to practice. Because it seems that you claim perfection, I expose to you that none
is perfect. Someone is elected to a position and instead of using his position to forgive
and teach others forgiveness, he starts to show others that they are less fortunate and
cannot be elevated as he was because they are sinners. And I ask you, was he elected
because of his good works? Let us now have the second bible lesson:
2nd Lesson: Colossians 3: 13.
"Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man has a quarrel against
any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye".
That is what you are called to come and observe and practice.
Forbear and forgive one another as Christ did forgive us. As our Lord Jesus Christ
washed the feet of His disciples and it came to the turn of Peter, he said:
"...And Peter saith unto Him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet? Jesus answered and said
unto him, what I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter. Peter saith
unto Him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, if I wash thee not, thou
hast no part with me...." St. John 13: 6-8 Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, not my feet
only, but also my hands and my head. Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not
save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all" St. John l3: 9-
10.
OUT OF THE ABUNDANCE OF THE HEART

9. Many of you are exposed to what evil people have done to your families when you were
very young and now grown up, you swear to get back at them. May be some one you
served or lived with or was adopted by, really maltreated you and now you bear him
grudge till today. Such attitude is death! What do you call witchcraft, juju, mermaid and
Satan? It is the act of not forgiving one another. It is said, " O generation of vipers, how
can ye, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth
speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things:
and an evil man, out of the evil treasure bringeth forth-evil things'. St Matthew 12: 34-
35 You can see that if you forgive others, your heart will be pure and clean and
whatsoever you speak will reflect good things and you are free. Peace and light will
attend your entire endeavor.
But if you do not forgive others your heart is enkindled with smoky fire and you are
covered by darkness. This position will surely expose you to other vices. It is said that
we are under Grace and not Law. Grace is forgiving others. It is said that those who wish
to obtain justification through law have been separated from Christ. Woes unto those
who wish to obtain salvation through observance of the Law, but cannot completely
observe the law.
Brotherhood members are under grace. And when someone comes to Brotherhood of
the Cross and Star, he is asked whether he bears someone grudge or malice in his heart
and if so, he should remove such things from his heart, forgiving and forgetting what
has passed and thereafter, he should be baptized. Once this is done he is filled with the
Holy Spirit and there is no condemnation for him. You are witnesses that if you come
before me five times a day, what I ask you is whether you harbor any malice or anger
against anyone? Immediately you are forgiven, you are free! If you then forgive others
who wronged you your problems are gone; but if you go back to renew your previous
grudge, your problems will automatically come back in full force. Then you start to
complain that all your problems have come back and though you have gone to The
Holy Father, yet they persist.
And I ask you, have you forgiven those who wronged you? This is the secret of this
Kingdom.
If you owe someone $1, 000.00 dollarsand out of mercy he forgives you because you
cannot pay, it does not mean that you have paid your debt. Anytime he is not on good
terms with you he has the right to demand for his money. Don't you see the wisdom of
God? He has asked you to forgive and you will be forgiven. If you reckon sin on anyone,
He will also hold up your own sins. Do not come here as a good man devoid of sin and
start to observe the faults of others as if you are perfect because you are trying to
judge. Let us now have the Golden Text:
Golden Text: St. Matthew 18: 35
"So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you if ye, from your hearts forgive

10. not everyone his brother their trespasses."
Those who have ears let them hear. May God bless His Holy Words. Amen.
Thank you Good Father.
