The Brotherhood Of The Cross And Star is a religious organisation founded by their spiritual leader, Olumba Olumba Obu, in the year 1956, in Calabar, Cross River State. So many people have been asking whether, Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is a church.
The Brotherhood did not call themselves church, but the new kingdom of God on earth. Their doctrine is different from majority of Christian doctrine, that leader Olumba Olumba Obu was the promised Holy Spirit, while his son whom he appointed as the new leader of the sect is Jesus Christ that came back to the earth.
The members of this sect worship him as God, that is everything he says is final, most of the politician always flock to him for spiritual help. This is how you know that the teaching of the Olumba Olumba contradicts the scripture, both Old and New Testament did not tell us that the Holy Spirit which Jesus promise in the book of John 14 verse 16,17, will have a son that would succeed him.
“And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.”
The Bible says “And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. 14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.”
This sect do not pray in the name of Jesus, rather they either makes a sign of o.o.o, because they belief that leader Olumba Olumba Obu is their almighty and Rowland whom they calls his holiness is their Jesus.
In the year 2000, Olumba Obu crowned his son formally known as Rowland to be the spiritual head of the sect. Rowland’s name was changed to His Holiness Olumba Olumba Obu.
