Today Is All Saints' Day by Nobody: 4:39pm On Nov 01, 2016
Dear All,

I am sorry this is coming a bit late. Pardon me. Today is the Solemnity of All Saints.

All Saints' Day is a solemn holy day of the Catholic Church celebrated annually on November 1. The day is dedicated to the saints of the Church, that is, all those who have attained heaven. It should not be confused with All Souls' Day, which is observed on November 2, and is dedicated to those who have died and not yet reached heaven.

In Western Christian theology, the day commemorates all those who have attained the beatific vision in Heaven. It is a national holiday in many historically Catholic countries. In the Roman Catholic Church, the next day, All Souls' Day, specifically commemorates the departed faithful who have not yet been purified and reached heaven.

Catholics celebrate All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day in the fundamental belief that there is a prayerful spiritual communion between those in the state of grace who have died and are either being purified in purgatory or are in heaven (the 'church penitent' and the 'church triumphant', respectively), and the 'church militant' who are the living. Other Christian traditions define, remember and respond to the saints in different ways.

We are all encouraged to attend mass or moments of silence today in our various parishes and centres.

MANIFESTATION OF ALMIGHTY OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU, THE GREATEST MYSTERY AND WONDER: What the earth is experiencing today is not different from the days of old. God had never and will never leave the earth that He created for another spirit to inherit. From time to time HE had visited the earth through HIS Prophets. And if you take a blow by blow systematic research of the scriptures, you'll discover that the world had never accepted anyone sent by God. During the era of Noah, there were other preachers too who were busy preaching the ascension of Prophet Enoch. But God chose Noah and told him to preach something different. Noah obeyed God, while the other preachers were busy deceiving the world, telling them how Enoch ascended to heaven by God's Power, Noah was busy telling them to follow him into the Ark or perish, but they wont listen. Truly, the floods came and only Noah and His Family were saved. During the era of Our Lord Jesus Christ, there were other preachers too, but God manifested Himself as The Son of God and dwelled with men, but they rejected Him. They made the same mistake of the earthlings in the era of Prophet Noah. They were busy preaching the ascension of Elijah and his mount kamel miracle, the miracles of Moses, and the loyalty of Father Abraham to God. Little did they know that even the said Elijah had returned in their midst with a New Name John The Baptist. At the end, Our Lord Jesus Christ was Crucified by the so called men of God of that generation. Today, these same men of God are still fighting God who has come down on earth for the very last time. Remember, before, Our Lord Jesus Christ left the earth plane, He promised us another Comforter who will come and abide with us forever. He called Him THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THE COMFORTER (John 14:15—19, John 14:26). Now, The Holy Spirit has His own job to do: He will teach the world, condemn sin and also judge the world (John 16:7-15). When Christ talked of the coming of The Holy Spirit, He was virtually talking of His second coming as The GodHead Bodily. Remember, the prophecy about Christ said He shall speak only in parables(Matt 13:34-35). Everything He spoke was in parables. Though He didnt plainly mention where He'll be born in his second coming, but He did say it in parables that He wont come from from Israel anymore(matt 21:42-43). But Prophet Isaiah had already said it that The Christ will come from Edom (Isaiah 63:1-3). His coming from Africa is also recorded in Hab 3:3, deut 33:1-3, Isaiah 65:1-5, Gen 49:10-11, Rom 9:25-26 to mention a few. Also, today, historians have traced the royal family of Edom to Biakpan in Cross Rivers State of Nigeria. This is where LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU was born. As little as 3 years old upwards, Great Olumba was seen holding meetings with all animals, both domestic and wild. He spoke to the winds, the trees and all spirits and they obeyed Him. He raised the dead, made the barren to conceive etc. Till date He preaches nothing but Love, Faith, Hope and unity and oneness of all God's creation. He has also established The Kingdom of God on earth. He loves his followers and his enemies alike. He is The Supernatural Teacher of Our time. He has come with a New Name OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU. He wont answer Jesus in His second coming read Rev 2:17 and rev 3:12. Everything written about The coming of The Holy Spirit and of Christ is fulfilled in GREAT LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU. He has come to correct all the lies and errors. For example, the people of this world believe that Jesus was crucified on friday. But Olumba has told the world that the crucifixion was on thursday. A lot mysteries have been revealed by Him to mankind. No wonder the whites are investigating him, but many of them have confessed that they only see fire.
