Baba Simeo
Melkio taught many things, but he founded a church based on the long-held
Christian foundation, the Rock of Ages, Jesus Christ. Here is what His Most
Peaceful, Baba Simeo Melkio Messiah taught:
Mombasa 24/10/1972:
“To an ayie mana Yesus Kristus, mane oora e
nyinge, ema alando wachne.”
Translation: I believe only in Jesus Christ, in
whose name I was sent, Him alone I proclaim.”
Zeituni Bardin’g 26/8/1981:
“Mago to an ok alam wadwa moro, alamo ruoth
kende, Yesus.”
Translation: I do not worship any fellow human
being, I worship the Lord alone, Jesus.”
Nakuru, 28/3/1966:
“An e Jesus ma Ja-Nazareth; an ema aloso
koduni.”
Translation: I am Jesus of Nazareth, I who speaks
with you.”
You see. In
Legion Maria. We believe in Jesus the Christ.
No one else.
Except
that, Jesus who was, is and ever shall be, took flesh, again. That is the only
departure we have with other Christian denominations.
In taking
flesh, Jesus heeded to the prayer of Mary for Africa. That while Him who is the
Light of Ages had come to the world, took up flesh among the Jews, and was
known throughout the world, Africa had a darkness problem, so rooted, still.
And that by Him coming, in Glory, only then can the foundations of darkness, in
Africa, be destroyed.
This is our
basic creed.
The true
creed of Legion Maria does not have Virgin Mary as God. Or as any sort of
goddess. She remains the humble maidservant of God. Who says, as then in:
Luke 1:26-38: “I am the Lord's servant. Let everything you've said happen
to me.”
You hear a
Legion Maria teach that Mary or God or a goddess, that is damned. A lost soul.
Lost in the sin of Lucifer, the liar, and the father of all lies.
A true Legion
Maria repeats these words in the Catena Legionis Antiphon:
“Who is she that comes forth as the morning
rising, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, terrible as an army set in battle
array? (Makes the Sign of the Cross)
And has Mary, the maid servant of God, say
these words, as she said them, humble still:
“My soul glorifies the Lord. My spirit rejoices in God, my Saviour. He
looks on His servant in her lowliness; henceforth all ages will call me
blessed. The Almighty works marvels for me. Holy His name! His mercy is from age to age, on those who fear Him.”
Mary’s soul
glorifies God, and her spirit ever rejoices, for the Lord God, has looked upon
the lowly, humble and poor Mary, and lifted her.
Every
presidium day, before that round table, every Legion Maria member has Mary say
that God’s mercy is always on those who fear God, the Lord of Hosts.
True Legion
Maria creed frowns against any attempt to drag it into the sin of Lucifer. For
Lucifer, a lowly servant, bearing the light, thought of occupying the very
throne of God. The sin of Lucifer, that makes him damned forever.
Anyone, anytime,
who dares replace God, the Lord of Hosts, from His throne, and thereon places a
creature, such a soul is damned forever. There is no purgatory for such souls. They
belong to the same place as their father, Lucifer.
Be warned,
brethren. Stay away from Lucifer and his acolytes. In their attempt to replace
the God of heaven with his creation.
And the
True Legion prays like this in the Catena Legionis:
(a) Mary, show us you son Jesus.
“Turn then, O most
gracious advocate, your eyes of mercy towards us, and after this our exile,
show us the blessed fruit of your womb.”
(b) Pray for us, O holy Mother of God
That we may be made
worthy of the promises of Christ.
(c) That we obtain promises through
Jesus Christ
“That meditating upon these mysteries in
the most holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may imitate what they contain
and obtain what they promise. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.”
(d) That Mary is appointed a Mediatrix,
but only by Christ Jesus
“O Lord Jesus Christ,
our mediator with the Father, Who has been Pleased to appoint the Most Blessed
Virgin, Your mother, to be our mother also, and our mediatrix with You,
mercifully grant that whoever comes to You seeking Your favours may rejoice to
receive all of them through her. Amen.”
Now, this
is what, Jesus the Messiah, said about eternal life:
'Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the
flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever
eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at
the last day.” John 6:53-56
And in John
6:56:
"Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood
remains in me, and I in them.”
Let me
restate the four promises made here to whoever eats the flesh and drinks the
blood of Christ:
1. Christ himself is in them.
2. He remains in Christ, and Christ
remains in Him.
3. He has eternal life
4. He will be raised up at the last
day.
Legion
Maria of African Church Mission is a Christian Church. The church draws its licensure to exist as an
entity from its registration under the Laws of Kenya, recognised to operate
according to its constitution.
Article
three (3) of the Legion Maria Constitution outlines the objects of the Church.
At Article 3, sub article (a), it states:
“To foster Christianity through the spiritual
guidance of Legion Maria and to invoke the Christian World faith of
Legion Maria in the heart of the African people through
the Holy Ghost and OLD and NEW Testaments.”
This
sub-article 3(a)speaks to:
(i)
Legion
Maria being a Christian denomination.
(ii)
Legion
Maria following the universally accepted Legion of Mary principles and faith,
though with the heart of the African people as the primary target.
(iii)
Legion
Maria believing in the living and enduring reality, work, and efficacy of the
Holy Spirit.
(iv)
Legion
Maria adhering to Bible teachings, with the Old and New Testaments being source
of spiritual teaching and nourishment.
But it is
article (3) clause (b) that is more explicit on Legion Maria remaining true to
Christianity. It states:
“To establish and uphold the rights of
Christian faith in the Catholic form of worship in
order to maintain a sound and correct worship of God through Jesus
Christ.”
From
Article 3 (b), we can conclude that:
(i)
Legion
Maria shall be a Christian Faith.
(ii)
Legion
Maria form of worship shall be Catholic.
(iii)
Legion
Maria worship shall be Sound and Correct worship of God.
(iv)
Legion
Maria worship shall be to GOD through JESUS CHRIST.
Underline
the words, sound and correct worship of God through Jesus Christ.
The Bible
dictionary meaning of sound and correct is healthy, free from error, and in
accordance with fact or truth.
Are you as
a cleric, brother, sister, or any member of the Legion Maria faith seeking to
teach sound and correct doctrines, to direct others to sound and correct
worship, and to pointing to all that may seek to know that Jesus is the only
way to God?
At the
foundation of Legion Maria, there was the catechism. Baba Messiah Himself
taught catechism. And he also taught the Bible, in an antiphon format, that we
call “olo chikruok machon”. He stayed the course. Like Him, we must never
deviate.
But let’s
get things straight. The foundation rock of Christianity is this. That human beings
were created by God. They disobeyed God. And were lost. Damned eternally. Then,
out of God’s abundant mercy, He sought to redeem humankind. At the cursing in
Eden, He promised a seed that would redeem mankind.
He called
out Abraham, had a covenant with him, and made a people for Himself. Then
through this household of Abraham, with David as a descendant, he promised a
King, and a priest in the Order of Melchizedek.
This King,
as we now know, is Jesus the Messiah. Who gave up his life on the cross, died
and paid the debts of our sins, so that through Him, we may have life eternal.
This Jesus resurrected
from the dead, as the first fruit, so that because Jesus was risen, we too now,
who believe Him and in Him, shall rise again after this life, adorned in
immortality.
On the way
to the Father, Jesus was clearest:
“I am the way and the truth and
the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6.
Jesus is
very succinct. You can’t go to the Father, if not through Him. Period.
No one ever
goes to the Father; no one ever finds eternal life, except through Jesus
Christ.
No angel.
No Saint. No Virgin Mary. No one gives you entry to heaven. It must be Jesus
Christ.
This truth,
always, must never depart from your heart. This truth, always, must be taught by true
teachers of our faith.
While Mary
may pray for you. And assist you, as a mediatrix, to find her son Jesus. Even
possible win over Jesus for you. She is not the way, Jesus is. And Mary shows
you only Jesus.
While the
saints may pray for you. That is all. They can show you Mary, who in turn
Brethren, only Jesus gives you access to
eternal life, at the bosom of the Father.
A reason
why some of our brethren no longer look up to the Holy Mass, is that they think
there is another route to heaven. That as a janabi, you can work hard in the
bushes, hills, and valleys, in shrines. And through your hard work gain heaven.
Or as a
mother you can pray your way to heaven, minus Jesus. Unfortunately, no.
Heaven, and
eternal life, belongs to God. And he gives it to whoever he likes. And he has
given it through his only begotten son. No
one comes to the Father except through Jesus.
