About Himself
The Founder and Leader of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is Olumba Olumba Obu.
A man who received virtually no formal education, never attended any church or religious meeting and yet has now become renowned for the potency and wisdom of His teachings. At His birth in the village of Biakpan in the tropical forests of Southeast Nigeria, a blind woman just by holding Him received her sight. When only three He said, ‘I am the Universal Teacher’. many miracles followed including the raising from the dead of both humans and animals.
Once asked by a journalist who He really is, He said, “I am neither God nor prophet, nor church leader, nor angel, nor Christ. I am that I am”. To emphasise this position, He published a book titled I Am not God but Olumba Olumba Obu. His adherents call Him God; His immediate society places Him variously. While some call Him a wonderful man, others call Him vampire or ekpinoi (king of Beelzebub). To others it is still unclear who He is, but suspicions are rife that He holds the world’s hidden agenda.
God and Trinity
Leader Olumba Olumba Obu presents God as the Father of all creation (Malachi 2:10), whose love, power and authority for forgiveness is for all men. He addresses God as the “Father” and teaches that all men should always address Him as such. He presents God as the Supreme Being, the uncaused cause of all that exists, the architect and designer of everything animate and inanimate.
He reveals that God is a living person, not merely an idea, a myth or a figment of imagination, but that He is real a being. One can only see the physical being made up of water, blood and spirit (1st John 5:6-8). He teaches the divine omnipresence that God is a spirit, in a sense which excludes the idea of His physical presence or favour being limited to a particular shrine (John 4:20-24; Luke 17:20-21). When God manifests on the terrestrial plane, He appears as human being. In celestial plane He is a Spirit being.
His teachings on the triune God is probably best illustrated with a lump of gold made into different items like ring, necklace or earring where shapes, sizes and nomenclatures of the items do not alter the gold element.Our Lord Jesus Christ
Since the commencement of Leader Olumba Olumba Obu’s ministry, He does not bear record of Himself but testifies about Our Lord Jesus Christ. All His references are made to the Father and Our Lord Jesus Christ. He attaches importance to the Lordship of the Christ and insist that He should be addressed, not just as Jesus but as “Our Lord Jesus Christ”, partly because Jesus is a common Jewish name (Acts 13:6). Leader Olumba Olumba Obu glorifies the Lord Jesus Christ (1st Corinthians 12:3).The Kingdom of God
He agrees with our Lord Jesus Christ that the kingdom of God is the rule of God over man spiritually rather than politically. Rather than preaching that the kingdom “is at hand”, He teaches that the kingdom is established in fulfilment of the prophecy and vision of the Apocalyptic Seer (Daniel 2:44; Revelation 11:15). BCS is the nucleus of the kingdom established as the Lord’s school of righteousness in fulfilment of Isaiah’s prophecy (Isaiah 2:2-4). It is Christ Universal Spiritual School of Practical Christianity. The qualification for entry is perfection precipitated by abstinence from sin. The laws are summarised in Mark 12:29-31.
