In this short sermon, Femi Lazarus uses the biblical story of Abraham and Lot to illustrate the concept of audacity rooted in spiritual insight. He recounts how Abraham, faced with a conflict between his own and Lot’s herders, proposes a bold division of land, emphasizing that true audacity comes from recognizing that the value lies not in the land itself but in the people (the spirit) inhabiting it. Abraham’s confident choice of the left side leads to divine affirmation that wherever he stands, God will give him the promised blessing, while Lot is excluded from the plan. Lazarus then connects this narrative to a contemporary spiritual diagnosis: anxiety about obtaining one’s portion is a symptom of lacking a word—or divine direction—in one’s spirit. The message urges listeners to shift focus from material claims to spiritual alignment, suggesting that confidence grounded in the spirit eliminates anxiety.

Chapters

Let me give you an example of audacity. When Abraham saw that the headmen of Lot and his own headmen were fighting, he called Lot, said, let there be no strife between us. He said, is the land not here? If you go to the right, I will go to the left. If you take the left, I'll go to the right. Choose. What kind of audacity is that? Who talks like that? A man who has no information want to pick his own first. But a man of the spirit knows it is not a place, It is a person. Audacity. And the guy picked the best place, and Abraham confidently went towards left. Then when he went, God said, look from where you stand, including where he picked, anywhere you can see, I give you. Lot was not in the plan. You are. Anxiety, wanting to get yours, is one of the signs that there's no word in your spirit.
