Blessed be your holy name. In Jesus' mighty name, let's give Jesus a big hand. Please, we may be seated. Once again, I like to honor our Daddy and Mommy, the angels over this house. Help me celebrate them. I was in a meeting, um, a while back, and a woman came to that meeting, had several issues. She was diabetic, she was obese, and she had high blood pressure. Somewhere along the line, she got up to go ease herself, and I was teaching. I teach just like this. And I noticed that she was seated in the second row. I noticed that when she got up, her wrapper fell, and it was quite embarrassing, so she had to quickly— so, but I didn't have the time to talk to her. After the meeting because I had to travel for another meeting. I knew the woman, so she traveled to be in that place. Then she called me a few days later and said, did you notice during that meeting that my rapper fell? I said yes. She said she couldn't believe what she was seeing. She got home after the meeting and discovered that she had lost 14 kg. No fit farm, no exercise, no liposuction. By the power of God. Diabetes has been reversed and high blood pressure has been reversed. I'm telling you this because there will be miracles without noise. I don't even know, I don't know the level of your hunger. We could play videos for you to see. Life tumor shrinking like candle. So she got her healing and then told her daughter, call me, because the daughter developed a tumor right from when she was very young. And at that time, the tumor had been there for— I can't remember, maybe 16 years or thereabout. So she said to the daughter, if this man pray for you, be healed. And, um, the daughter called me. So I was just jisting with the daughter on phone and just asking questions. How are you doing? What do you do? Because if you can help me with the kids, I'll be glad. Holy Ghost meeting. Um, so after jisting with the daughter for like 20 minutes— now I don't have that kind of time again. The daughter said, Pastor, sir, the reason why I called you, you've not even prayed about it. I said, we've been jisting, it means that the anointing has rubbed off on you. He said, uh, just say a word. So I prayed for her since that's the level of her faith. Then we ended the call. The following morning, she called me and was screaming and said after that call she couldn't stop coughing. She said she coughed till she slept out of exhaustion. And by the time she woke up in the morning, the big lump around her throat had busted open. And that's not the miracle. When she was cleaning it, she noticed that there was a fresh skin completely sealed under. That's a creative miracle. I will try to introduce you. I know this is the house of the word and power, because to try to open our eyes. But what I can't give you is hunger. See, when Jesus met the man at the Pool of Bethesda, he said, do you want to be made whole? So I don't know what the issue is. Do you want to be made whole? There are also cases of deliverance. I'm going to show you scriptures. Just want to tell you a story. This should be around maybe 12 years ago. I got a call from a spiritual daughter of mine, and she was begging on phone and said, please, sir, wherever you are, I'm in trouble. I need you to please come down now. So that changed my plan for the day. I had to drive about, um, 1 hour to where she was staying. When I got there, she opened the door to greet me out of excitement. So I stretched my hands to shake her, which I did. What I noticed as I shook hands with her, she began to scream, "Fire!" Was rolling on the floor, was rolling on the floor. I saw there was a demon troubling her, who casted out the devil. And the first question she asked was, Pastor, how did you get here? I said, you called me this morning. And she broke down in tears. I said, the last thing she could remember was that she was sleeping in the house the week before that week. And a man came in through the wall and took her by the hand and led her into a dungeon. And she said they've been beating her for the past 7 days. The Bible said have respect to covenant, for the dark places of this world is full of the habitation of cruelty and wickedness. The world that we live in is a wicked world. Please help me with a standing ovation. Honor Daddy. Thank you, sir. And Mommy, please. Thank you. Amen. Please be seated. There are many people who are trying many things in the city, but ideally They're actually under serious level of affliction, and it takes power. What did I say? Power. What did I say?

Power.

It takes what? Power to set the captives free. There's anyone who is under the siege of the devil tonight, by the power that is in the name of Jesus, you are made free. Femi Lazarus can tell you stories. The world that we live in is a wicked world. I stopped the last time the book of John chapter number 5. And we're going to start the reading again from that same place to show you one or two things, then we can dive into other things. John chapter number 5. If I ask you to pray tonight, will you pray?

Yes.

I want you to pray the African fire prayer. Because the only language the devil understands is violence. Are you sure you're ready to pray? You will begin— you'll be shocked to see the things that will come out. Before we read this text A girl called me, one of the people I was mentoring— I'm mentoring— and she had a very serious issue. So I prayed with her, and that night she had a dream. A woman, she saw herself in a coffin. And she saw a hand bring her out of the coffin, and the hand was washing her clean. And a woman that she recognized came to meet her and said, I have warned you not to go and meet that pastor to pray for you again. Listen to what I'm saying. One of the deepest manipulation around people's life is when I see that the devil turned their heart against the anointed. He wants to prolong their battle. The woman was saying, you don't go meet him to pray for you again. Then they began to fight in that dream, and she was able to defeat the woman in that dream. I'm telling you what, because the aftermath was what I now saw. She called me in the morning around past 6 and was screaming that, Pastor, please come, come, I don't understand what's going on. I went to her place with my team. Her room was as though somebody brought a paint of blood and splattered it on the wall. Life. Her clothes that she was wearing was like they poured blood on the clothes. The woman that she saw in the dream, she knew the woman. The first call she received in the morning was that the woman had died. That's why I'm decreeing tonight, anyone whose life is being tied down, let there be judgment in the camp of the enemy. Again, I insist, Anyone whose life is being mortgaged, let there be judgment.

The works of the devil is judged.

I want to show you this scripture, but the Lord is bringing some things to my spirit. If there's anybody here that the devil is using your children as a whip to flog you That is, it doesn't matter you're praying, the reproach in this child will always bring tears out of your eyes. Ah, it ends in this meeting. Daddy Joe shared a story with us, one of the stories that can't leave me. A woman who lost her husband quite early trained her only son and sponsored him to the United Kingdom for master's. He said it was in the olden days. The boy went, studied, was always writing letter back home to the mother, and finally finished and returned back to the country. And the mother went to the seaport as every other person went to receive their family member, and she saw the boy come out of the door and was waving, saw her, was excited. And while the boy was coming down, he missed his step and fell into the water, and they searched for him for days. They didn't find him. She saw her joy, but he didn't touch her hand. And the woman went back to the village with shame, empty-handed. And she became— her spirit was broken. And she wake up every morning and go to the river with a bowl and begin to scoop water. And when they ask her, what are you doing? She will say, I'm looking for my son. Sorrow breaks people's spirit. I decree by the power and the authority in the name of Jesus, sorrow will not visit your house. I decree by the power and the authority in the name of Jesus, pain will not visit your house. The devil will not break you.

He will not use your husband to break you.

He will not use your wife to break you.

He will not use your children to break you. In the name of Jesus, let every plan of the enemy be Be broken now!

Let the siege end! One of the prayers I would like to pray tonight is that, Lord, from today I become too hot for the enemy to handle. Dear Christians, don't joke with power. You need power. What did I say? You need what? Sit down for a moment. My father was sharing this story with me. He went for a crusade somewhere, and an 8-year-old girl was confessing, and she said she just killed her own father. And really, the father died about 2 weeks before the crusade. So she was confessing the activity of witchcraft and said, I kill him, I kill him. She said so. How did the man die? He was about to have the house dedication party, or what they call housewarming, on Saturday. On Friday night, he came back from work and said he had headache, said he needed to buy paracetamol just to relieve himself. He had two cars, but he preferred to take his bike, and he rode the bike by himself under a trailer. And his head fell off. And 2 weeks later, the girl was claiming responsibility that what looks like coincidence was actually witchcraft activity. If you refuse to carry power, you will be a puppet in the hand of spirit. You'll be doing things contrary to your destiny and not understand that there are forces elongating your wilderness journey. One of the worst thing the devil can do to a man is to use the person's hand to flog himself because he's a puppet. Place your two hands on your head tonight. Saturate me with power.

Make me to what?

For the enemy to undo. Pray that prayer in the next 1 minute. Who is on the— just stay on strings, my friend. Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes! Make me too hot, make me too hot for the enemy to handle. Make me too hot for the enemy to handle, in Jesus' Mighty name we break, we pray. Let that amen roar like thunder. Sit for a moment. In John 5, the man at the pool of Bethesda has been there for 38 years. That's not just a battle, that's protracted battle. When people become identified by their chains And not just that, he moved from the battle to being deserted. And all that Jesus said to him was, pick your bed and walk. A word from God is enough. Everything that has a name bows to his authority. Call it any kind of sickness. It doesn't matter whether it is cancer, it's a name. It doesn't matter whether it is hypertension, it's a name. I'm seeing gestational diabetes.— it's a name. PCOS, it's a name. Any form of infirmity, it's a name. Infections of different category. Maybe somebody's organ is packing up, kidney, liver. The one who made it has spare parts. The problem many times is that people know more about their sickness than they know about the word of God. They have spent time on Google checking about their sickness, the fact, okay, this, this, this, and all that. It's a name. But tonight is the night that every knee bows. And every tongue confesses that asthma disappears in the name of Jesus.

Amen.

I was ministering on OU campus 2 years ago, and they wheeled in a boy who was known by everyone on the campus with his wheelchair. I had faith to pray for him, but as I saw the leg, the leg had formed like S, and I touched it, I couldn't feel any connecting bone. How will this one walk? The Lord said to me, take him up. So I held him, said, I might be injuring this guy because there's no supporting structure here. And I drew him up and he was limping. And the Lord said, let him go. And I saw that same leg, as soft as shawarma, carried him and he stood. God doesn't need to knock to create. Do you believe? If there's anything missing in your body that needs replacement, it is replaced. Yesterday morning when Daddy was ministering, he spoke about the reconstructive work God did on Sarah. They were calling a woman over 80 Sarah, princess, and as they were speaking the words, she was becoming what was being said. So much so that a king who falls in love with a woman over 80 will see her and mistake her for a young girl by the power of the word. So with God, there's no menopause. There's no menopause. So those who are trusting God for the fruit of the womb, you receive strength to conceive. Jesus didn't have to tell the man at the pool of Bethesda twice to pick his bed and go. One word was enough. Look at another story in Luke chapter number 8. Luke chapter number 8. And before I show you that story In verse 43, I was invited by a man. I don't know, someone told him, call this man to pray for you, this, this, this. Femi Lazarus is being paralyzed according to him since 1997. And when I got to his house The first thing he said was, 'Apostle, the duplex beside this one that I'm living, I built it.' He said, 'From today is yours.' I said, 'I didn't come for your house. Let me pray for you,' because God had told me not to take anything from him. We spoke a little, so when I was going to pray for him He called his wife because he was supposed to call his children and family. So he called the wife, "Darling, Apostle wants to pray for us." She was obviously in the kitchen and I was seeing her, but she didn't answer. He called the son, "This is— come up, they want to pray for us." He didn't answer. The man looked towards me and I saw tears rolled down his eyes. And he said a statement. He said, in the days of my strength, will they do this? I felt his pain, just prayed with him. He's been there, they're the one who bring him out every time. And I saw a man who used to be strong, now like piece of cake. After praying for him, I was going to leave, and it was at the gate that he himself reminded me and said, "Eduro, esei imofemi debi," that is, "I use my leg." Now, it didn't occur to me and it didn't occur to him that he had walked. And followed me. So when he said so, I now looked at him. Ah, it was his leg that he used. And listen, I have seen God remove longstanding reproach like, like it is nothing. Don't listen, don't make a god out of your mountain. There's nothing happening to you that is not common to men. The God who made the universe, when he says peace be still, it's over. Who are that mountain before Jehovah? Look at the story of this woman. There's a woman having an issue of blood for 12 years. Imagine 12 years of life oozing out of you. Those were not the days of supplement that they say take iron supplement. Ah, blood Reason of— for 12 years. Look at it. And which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, came behind him and touched the border of his garment. And the Bible said immediately It was not gradual. There are healings that takes place that you know when immediately. Every sickness that is present in a body manifests itself through certain symptoms, through certain symptoms. Immediately she touched him. She noticed for the first time there was no feeling of any fluid coming out, and the issue of blood had dried. Then Jesus turned around and said, 'Who touched me?' There were many people there, some that they will seek also. But I've seen that when it comes to prayer, we are more intentional than ourselves. I'm telling you, there's no frustration around the miraculous than to see people who need help but are less intentional. The way they pray with so much carelessness. Oh Lord, just, just do it. I thank you, Lord. I give you all the praise. I give you all the glory. If you can just take this away, you do it, lad. Do it for me. And the devil say, you mean I have a friend. The Lord told me a year before her dad retired that the moment he retired, they want to kill him. So began to pray for him a year before the retirement, and as soon as he retired, he developed prostate issues. Every attempt for them to or put on him was failing. It was moving from one— that's one of the ways you know it is demonic. It will move from something that looks small to something else, then something you don't even know where it started from. And they kept— and he also had other issues now, more complications, and they kept shifting the surgery, shifting the surgery. So one day I said I was coming to the house. And I went to the house. They gave me food, I ate. We gathered for family devotion. They prayed. I sat down, I said, ah, how are we praying like we are not in the middle of a battle? The prayer was so sweet. Upon the mountains The way everybody prayed, relaxed, you know, rich people. Oh, we just want to thank you. Ah, when they finished prayer, I couldn't cope. I said, the way you people have honored me in this house, the food you've served, something must drop. So I said, Ejoa, can you— can I beg for 10 minutes? Just 10 minutes. They say, ah, okay, Pastor. I said, stand up everyone, like men of war. We're going to raise our voice and decree, let every grave whose mouth is open to swallow this man vomit him now. We prayed the prayer and I saw them switch from the cold sandwich Christianity to hot fiery prayer. I'm telling you, you. This is online, so it means anybody there can be watching. I don't know how to add two stories. We have not shared benediction when a bird flew in and dropped dead right there in front of all of us, and every prostate issue, everything disappeared tonight. You don't have to struggle to touch a man of God when you can touch Jesus. I want to give us the next 3 minutes. It is DIY, you do it yourself. Listen, listen, depending on the way you are serious about your own issue, that's— and I'm not going to tell anybody increase your volume. I will take your prayer culture as the level of attention you are giving to your own issue. In the next 3 minutes, get up on your feet. You will call whatever that mountain is by name, and you will decree, in the name of Jesus, it becomes nothing now.

Call it by the name. Command it to leave. Command it to get out. Command the mountains to be removed. Command the seas to back. I don't want to go same way I came. Touch me with your— oh yes, oh yes, Jesus. I know what you do. Say, Femi Lazarus, I can touch me with your hands. Oh yes, Jesus. Oh yes, I want to go. Lift your voice and pray. Lift your voice and pray with your hands. Lift your voice and praise Jesus. Lift your voice and pray. Oh yes, Jesus! Oh yes! Oh yes! Jesus, help me, help me, help me, help me. Thank you, Lord Jesus. We bless your holy name. In Jesus' mighty name we pray.

We, we are coming Sit for a moment. In Mark chapter number 10, Mark chapter number 10, we start the reading from verse 46. Mark 10, verse 46. One of the very interesting thing about atmospheres like this is that even while the word is being taught, there can be deliverances. Don't be protocol, okay? Let your heart be in touch with him. Is that okay? All you have to do is to pay attention to what God is doing in your spirit. It will amaze you. In verse 46 of Mark 10, and they came to Jericho. And as he went out of Jericho with his disciples, a great number of people Sorry. And a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging. And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out. I tell you, if there's a man to pray, there's a God to answer.

Amen.

I told you I was praying till the local vigilantes gathered and said he must pack out of this street. And they're saying now, that is, if a man is running, if he's not pursuing something, something is after him. I discovered that where I came from, people don't arise. And I couldn't blame them because sometimes around 2:00 a.m. in the middle of the night while praying, something just break open my—

I say, ah, God!

They say, ah, who is this one that is all— I'm the one that knows What is paining me? When I got married, few days into the honeymoon, I saw my wife broke down and I was looking for her around the house. I didn't see her. Finally I found her in the store, in the kitchen. She was wailing.

Ha!

Me wife cry? What have you done? Now, now, now, start doing that. He said, I don't understand, this is not what I told God, this is not what I bargained for. Ah, ah, he said, when I was coming, I told God, I prepared, I will make this food and make that food and cook for you and experiment different say bonjour, we cook, you won't eat. That's why you're crying. Since I've been born, nobody has ever cried because I didn't eat. The people staying with me, if I didn't eat, they're happy. I said, babe, is fasting. That's made my stomach shrink. I told God, I will fast till this battle break, and I'm ready to die. So I drew the battle line of 100 days dry. Amen. When I got to 21, my eyes were stunning. So I gave myself break. I said, let's, let's do 21, 21. So I did 21, then broke for 3 days, then did another 21 again. Now I couldn't walk anymore, my legs were always shaking. And did the third one till I was coughing blood from my sleep, and they took me to the hospital. I didn't know what happened, but I can still remember that the doctor tore my clothes because they said life was leaving me. And I saw people gathered. It was like I was looking at them from a plane, and they were crying, "We can't lose him, we can't lose him." And the doctor was saying that if you attempt to continue, you will die. And all I was doing was just tears. I don't know why this thing is this tough, but I felt I have not hit the note of victory. You know, those of you who are born from second generation of places where somebody broke through, you don't know what God has done for you. I discharged myself against medical advice. And started 7 Days White and went on another one till I was in my room. One room, one bedroom. Anyways, if you have bed, you call it one bedroom. One room. And one hot afternoon, I could— you can shout, pray such prayer, "Lord, help me, help me, help me." I slept off and I saw myself lying down, and I saw an angel of the Lord standing, and he said, "Get up." And I got up, and he said, "Look to your right." said, do you recognize the person lying down? I said no. He said, look closely. I said no. He said, look again. I said no. He said, that's the father of your grandfather. I'm telling you my own experience. He said, when he died, he went with something that belonged to all of you. So he said to me, he said, your cry has come to our ears, and I've been told to come and give you yours. So he said, you have a minute to pick it. So he blew something that looked like, like a trumpet, like ram's horn, I can't tell. And as he blew that, it was like fear filled the atmosphere, and the man got up violently with anger, and I was shaking. And he said, you have a minute to pick yours. And I just knew instinctively that I was to put my hand into his chest and pick mine. And as I did put my hands there, I could feel this belong to, to so-and-so, this belong to so-and-so, let me pick for all of us. And he said, pick yours. And they pray they will pick theirs. I picked mine. The man fell back dead again, and I woke up. Now I felt I hit the note of victory. Victory is in levels. After that, As a student of the word, I wasn't satisfied. I felt it was unjust. I felt the problem I went through to fast at that level till I almost died. I felt, God, I need an explanation. And the Lord said to me, he said, the reason why you have to go on that journey is because you did not encounter someone who have broken through, who went through such journey. He said such a person has the anointing to bring you out. That's why when we have meetings like this and God brings— because even as Daddy, so I had to rush down to be under. There are people who have covered mileage. Do you want to dig your own well? Or you want to drink of the waters the fathers found. There are some of you that the reason why you are fighting the battles you are fighting is because you are the first to attain what you have, and there are confrontations on all sides. But tonight we have come in agreement of apostolic forces. That the Lord will wire new systems of defense. To every glory there is a defense. He will orchestrate new systems of defense around your life. Those of you who are the first trying to break certain ceilings where you are coming from, you lift your voice and pray, Lord, I break it.

You have the next 45 seconds. I break it! I will not be stopped in the process. I will not be hindered in the process. My life will not be terminated in the process. I break it! I break the siege of the enemy. I break the yoke of the enemy. I break the grip of the enemy. I break the power of the enemy. It becomes nothing. It is blown over stuff. I break it. I break it. I break it. I break it in the name of Jesus. Oh, I break it. I break it all. I break it. Thank you, Lord Jesus.

In Jesus' mighty name, we are Amen. Let that amen roar like thunder. Please sit down. One of the things the devil does is that he places certain forces in charge of each lineage to make sure that regardless of how much they are apart across the world, they look alike in terms of experience. Forces that manipulate people's destiny against helpers that suddenly will arise and they are cut off, or it looks like hell is let loose from all angle against destinies, and you can trace the pattern from one person to another to another and yet another person. We wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities and Femi Lazarus. There is spiritual wickedness in heavenly places. Lift your hands where you sit. Every cases here that has something to do with demonic operation, either by oppression, by siege, people whose life is being oppressed. Listen, as I'm going to be speaking, there will be fire and there will be violent shaking, and I want the ushers to help me bring them out. I raise the name of Jesus high tonight, and I speak to the roots of forces. I speak to the root of battles.

I speak to the root of issues. You foul spirits of darkness, I command in the name of Jesus, get out!

Lift up your heads, O ye gates, and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors, that the King of Glory may come in. Who is this King of Glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. There is a spirit called the spirit of infirmity. It is usually behind sicknesses. There is the spirit of delay. There is the spirit of hatred. Anyone whose life is being manipulated by any of these forces, you foul spirit of darkness, scream and leave them now!

Everyone, please, ushers, help me. Wherever you are across this place, you will shout Jesus at the count of 3. 1, 2, 3, go! Get out! Get out!

Get out! Get out!

Get out! Get out! Get out! Let us eat bread! Let us sit back— let's see it break! Let us each bake— let us each pack up our seatbags! Let us get packed— let us set back on this thing! Back to Egypt? No way! Amenos cum!

To afflictions.

Femi Lazarus, an end has come. The days of that darkness, that siege that stand as a mighty man around your life, an end has come tonight.

Anyone whose life is being manipulated by tormenting spirits Spirit that throws people across the ocean, across the sea, that regardless of location they find ways to afflict. It ends. I curse the roots of those spirits. Your soul is escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler. Loose her and let her go. Take your hands away from his ankles. Loose him and let him go. Joshua the high priest was standing before the throne with the filthy garment. And yet the garment was removed. Every garment of shame, reproach, stagnation, manipulation of destiny, an end has come. He that the Son of God has made free is free indeed. You are free indeed. There is one. In Jesus mighty name. Femi Lazarus. Well, I perceive a shift in the spiritual atmosphere. Amen.

Amen.

This is a prophetic season, and nobody, none of us should miss this moment. It's time for another type of worship, to make a connection with God. We're going to worship God with our offering. But let me remind you, in 1 Chronicles chapter 12, verse 32, The Bible records a tribe, the children of Issachar. They understood the times and the seasons, and they knew what to do in Israel. But time— it is my prayer that in City of David, we will understand the time. We will understand that this is a prophetic moment, it's a prophetic season for us to key into, in the mighty name of Jesus. The Bible says upon Mount Zion there shall be what?

Deliverance!

And of course holiness. And the people shall possess their possession. And I want to add by the Spirit of God that upon City of David we already have deliverance, we have holiness, we shall possess our possession. In this season. May our offerings go like a sweet fragrance unto God, in the mighty name of Jesus. I don't know what it is that you need. I don't know what it is that you seek God for, but Bible says in Matthew chapter 7, verse 7, say, ask, ask, you shall receive.
