The Brotherhood of the Cross and Star (BCS) alias Olumba Olumba has criticised the senior pastor of Salvation Ministries David Ibiyeomie for describing it as a cult.
Ibiyeomie, who has been critical of the brotherhood, appeared in a recent viral video calling BCS a cult.
“Let me share this testimony, a cult called Olumba Olumba, their headquarters is in Cross Rivers State. I had no idea for 10 years that they were going to the cemetery every day on my behalf,” he had said.
“They said I am disturbing Olumba Olumba. Because in Port Harcourt they invaded everywhere. Every street in GRA, they had a shrine. So, I didn’t know. I just heard that in the spirit realm they said I was troubling them.”
However, the BCS Christ Shepherd Edet Archibong said the allegations were “figments of Pastor Ibiyeomie’s imagination.” He advised the preacher to focus on saving souls.
Explaining what BCS means, Archibong said, “Brotherhood (1Peter 2: 17) means the reunification of God with His creations. Cross represents the supreme sacrifice of Our Lord Jesus Christ as an atonement for sins, and star is the resurrection and reign of Christ in glory.”
Archibong added, “Leader Olumba Olumba Obu is the custodian of all powers as the Ancient of Days. Will He go to the dead in the cemetery to obtain power? He has the power of the spoken word. Early 2020 He declared that no baptised member of the new Kingdom of God on earth, BCS, would succumb to the COVID 19 Pandemic.
“We have been holding global online meetings and combined services and from information received from the world over, as at this time of writing, there is no baptised BCS member in any part of the world who has succumbed to COVID 19 or its variant.”
On allegations that he wanted to harm Ibiyeomie, Archibong said, “Is this the being that will send people to bury egg in Pastor Ibiyeomie’s alter to stop him from expanding? What is God struggling for with Pastor Ibiyeomie? What does Leader Olumba Olumba Obu need shrines for when he came to abolish the works of darkness as shown in his teachings and personal example?”
