APOSTOLIC INVASION UNIABUJA || DAY 2

From the moment words of prophecies goes ahead of God's children, many forces are listening. If you call someone out and say, this is the word of the Lord, God is going to use you for this, as fantastic as that sound, there are forces interested in making sure that that fellow never becomes. Those forces will gather themselves They will gather their strength together and start waging wars, strategic wars against the person. That's the strategy of the devil. Sometimes you, you must understand that the devil is not just after you, he's after the prophecies hanging over your head. Now guess what? The devil doesn't know the future.

He doesn't know too much. But this guy can guess almost correctly.

You know why? Because he has the advantage of time and experience. The same devil that Moses dealt with is the devil we are dealing with. The same devil that lied to Eve is the devil we are dealing with.

The same old guy, the only creature who ever dared to stand against God in battle, the one who had the audacity to say, I want to be like the Most High, I want to ascend to the side of the north. The same old guy is the one who is hanging around, is the same one that you are fighting.

But guess what? This is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith. And the greatest mystery locked in the whole universe is the mystery of Christ in me, the hope of glory.

And I may stand against the devil, but I am not alone. The greatest power in the universe has been arrayed in my favor. Are you hearing me now? You are never alone.

He said, I will never leave you nor forsake you. In Matthew 28:18, he said, all power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. And in verse 19, he said, go ye therefore. What does that mean? All the power in heaven and on earth backs you up as you go. You are not alone. The most important figure in existence is behind you. He's not just behind you, he's living in you. I said, do you, do you know what it means for God to become flesh and dwell amongst us? Now that's the wonder. Then for me to carry God— say, I carry God. I carry God. I carry God. What is man that you are mindful of him, or the son of man that you consider him, that you make him a little bit lower than Elohim? What is man? If you know who you are, if you know who you are, every time you walk on the street, you will know the kingdom of God is moving on two legs. Every time you walk on the street, the kingdom is here. You are not your bank account, you are not your background, you are not your mother's mistake. Now hear this: your destiny is so big that even Uni Abuja can't contain it. There are many of you seated here that you are going to come back to build lecture halls for this place. Oh yes, there's something called the firstborn oil. It is the anointing that when you are talking about a location, an institution, the family or something, there are names that resonate deeply with the world. They will know this school because you came. They will know this school Because when they begin to trace the life of the great woman who is shaking the world, the great man, then Uni Abuja will be mentioned. If you know who you are, if you know who you are, you will never cry yourself to sleep. If you know who you are, you will never date a boy who doesn't have sense.

Oh yes, you like that. You like that?

Okay, let me give the balance. If you know who you are, you will never date a girl who doesn't have sense too. Oh yes. Now hold on a minute. Many of you girls are dating the boys you ought to mentor. There's something you carry. Are you here? If you trade that thing with all the money in this world, you won't be able to buy it back. You carry life. You are important. You are not normal. Many of you don't even have an idea of the angelic host defending you. If you know, if you know, you will not be on the street and walk with bedroom slippers to lecture all. That's a king going with slippers. That's a king there. While we look not at the things that do appear, but the things that do appear are temporal. Your situations now, they are temporal. God is coming through for you. Let me hear that amen loud enough. Let me hear that amen loud enough. Now hear me, there are many of you here that will be fathers to kings. Oh yes, many of you will be mothers to kings. Say it again, I am conscious of what I carry. Say it again, I am conscious of what I carry. I know who I am. Say it again, I know who I am. Hey, say it again.

I know who I am.

There's nothing normal about my life.

I am not to be pitied. I am not an agent of pity. I am a territorial commander. There's nothing normal about me. I know who I am. Glory to God in the highest.

By God's grace, let me make this word. I'm going to be back here again.

Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, oh yes.

The devil is in trouble. Now, in the case of Samson, some knew. They knew the prophecies that went ahead of him. In the case of Jeremiah, he had to find out by himself. You will find out tonight. And like I said, just like the parable of the sower, um, yeah. When the seed fell on the wayside, the birds of the air came and picked it. The one that fell in the midst of thorns, the thorns grew and choked it. The one that fell on the rock, the sun scorched it and it dried. It was the one that fell on the good ground that grew. In all of this situation, you see that the devil has a pattern. And what's the pattern? Anywhere there is the word of God, it goes for the word. The devil is not just fighting you, he's fighting the word that has gone ahead of you. That's what he's after. He wants to— just like beans, if you pick the grain of beans, you will see, particularly if you see how weevils, beans weevils, have you seen them? That they eat beans, right? But they don't just eat beans, they eat the part of the beans that can germinate. When they are done with the part of the beans that can germinate, they leave the rest. Now pay attention, the force and the fervency with which the devil is fighting you now, it will not be that intense forever. But it will be intense now because this is the part of your life that determines the rest. If you get it wrong now, many don't recover. Many never recover. This is the point that some learn to do hook up. This is the time that some learn to get into fraud. This is the time that some, their heart is conditioned to pursue money. This is the time that some get into atrocities that will later destroy their lives. If God can get a man early, there is a very high chance that the man will stand for long. If the devil can get a man down early— we are not saying that there is no mercy. But sometimes even with mercy, there is no more time to become what you should have become. It's not about mercy or not forgiveness, it is about time. I love the way Ecclesiastes put it in 12:1. He said, remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, when the evil days have not come, before you begin to say, I have no pleasure in these things. I love the way Lamentations put it. He said, it is good that a man will bear his yoke in the days of his youth. There are prophecies that have gone ahead of you. You may blame the past generation, you may blame your parents for failing, you may not like them. Oh, my dad did this. Oh, my mom didn't do that. But the enemy they fought, until you defeat that enemy, you have no chance to talk. If they got into polygamy, until you escape it before you can talk. If your dad never seek God, never sought his face on your behalf, never prayed, until you become a father and act differently, you are not yet qualified to talk. When you walk through a desert land and you see a fresh body You don't take selfie. What killed them is not far, is not far, is not far. If there's one of the gifts I pray that the Lord will give you today is the gift of— anyways, it's a discipline, but it can come as an impartation— is the gift of prayer. Prayer and supplication.

Because the moment you find out that there is a word hanging over me, you must pray. You must defend the territory in what? Prayers.

I would have loved to put side by side Samson and his counterparts, that words went ahead of them. Put them side by side. You read Numbers, um, Judges 13, words going ahead of Samson, angels speaking like water. This is what God will do, it's going to be a mighty child. Judges 14, verse 1, and Samson went down to a certain place unto a woman.

In the case of Samuel, you will read, and the child grew in the presence of the Lord.

No, in the case of Samson He went down onto a woman. Wrong foundation. He got it wrong from the beginning. I beg you, for the sake of your unborn children, get it right now so that the next generation will not blame you that the day the glory of God visited your campus, were you not seated? What did you do with the impartation?

Get it right. When?

Huh? Loud enough. When? Loud enough. When?

Now.

The devil is not playing. You are not on campus to get just certificate. You must secure your destiny. I love the fact that you have a playing field. I don't know if there is a place here that they allow you pray while you study.

Pray.

Pray about your future. Pray about your graduation day. Pray about your NYSC. Pray about the returning. Pray about the plan of God. Pray about his purpose, that having served God this much on campus, you will not marry a fire extinguisher.

Huh?

Pray ahead of those days. Pray about childbirth.

Pray about fulfillment of destiny.

Pray!

Men ought always to pray and not to faint. Let me check you out for 2 minutes, particularly if you are listening to me now and you— it occurred to you that there are words that have gone ahead of me but I've not secured them in prayer. I have not insisted in the presence of the Lord. Let me tell you this: the gift and God's calling is without repentance. What that means is that it must surely come to pass, but the person that will fulfill it can be changed. It is possible that in your lifetime you look at somebody doing something and you know that God called me for this, but I didn't pay the price. It is a kind of regret that nobody talks about, but it is real. And nobody deserves to have that kind of regret. You will not have such a regret. There is a way we pray on campus, and I love this place. I just love the fact that somebody can come here with a Kenneth E. Hagin book and AirPod plugged to their ears and sit down and pray. In the next 2 minutes, get up on your feet, everyone. You will pray in such a way that demons will say, this one is running mad.

Father, I know that words have gone ahead of me. I secure those words by your power. I refuse to treat them like Esau. Don't look at your neighbor.

Separate yourself and pray, and pray loud and clear like your life depends on it.

I refuse to tread those words.

In Jesus' mighty name we are praying. Come down, come down. Hold on, hold on, hold on. This is not the way we pray. No, excuse yourselves.

Hey, excuse yourselves. Father, I insist tonight that for every word that went ahead of me, it will not fall to the ground, it will not be wasted. I step into prophecy in the name of Jesus. Lift your voice and pray. Hey, it is good that a man will bear his yokes in the days of his youth.

Thank you, Lord.

In Jesus' mighty name we are praying. Hey, let that amen roar like thunder! One more time.

Ah, I will give you— maybe I'm going to give you 5 over 10.

You are coming up.

Sit down for a while. Help her stay. Just take her away so that for the sake of time, just help her. Oh, thank you, Lord. From today The garment of prayer, Kai, rest on you. I didn't hear that amen well enough.

Are you aware something can come on you today that you can't stop praying?

Oh yes, the garment of prayer rests upon you. If there's anyone here who is struggling with prayerlessness, we nail it to the wall.

From today you pray. From today you pray, you pray without ceasing. Now let me beg you, it is very easy as a young person to be angry, very easy. I, I mean, Samson probably—

reduce it a bit—

might have gone up and say, how can they be in captivity for 40 years? We are here, we are here, we're going to do, we're going to change, we're going to do all that.

But there were no scriptural references to the fact that Samson grew before the Lord. Even though prophecies have gone ahead of you, stay in his presence. Learn to fast now. Learn to pray now. If you say you will do it later, life will become too complicated, you won't do it. When a man fails to seek God early, their lives get complicated fast. It doesn't take time for a man's life to be complicated. It doesn't take time. The devil likes to do a quick one, quick one. If you give him foothold, he does quick jobs. It messes people up before you blink. He has messed them up. He can do in a day what will take 10 years to recover from. But there is a God who restored the years that the locusts and the cankerworm have eaten. If there's anyone here who already feels you have lost time, there is restoration. There is restoration. No, there is restoration. There is restoration. The devil used a strategy with Samson, and the strategy was a tricky one. You know, what many of you think about the devil is that he just attacks. Ah, no, he, he's smart. If the devil attacks you suddenly People will know there's problem and they will pray for you. Then you too, you start praying. So the devil doesn't like to eat a man at the time that the man can recover. Are you with me? What did I say? The devil doesn't like to eat a man at the time that the man can recover. When he knocks a man He wants to knock him out completely. Now, by the grace of God, I did boxing training for a while, okay, till a girl knocked me out. Oh yes, there are girls that you, before you marry them, you ask question. Did you learn boxing? Do you beat men? Oh yes, they just brought the girl and they say they This is Jugunu. She's this, this one, amateur, this, this, this. And I was bouncing, jumbo jumbo. And sometimes when you are fighting professional boxers, one of the ways you know you are in for trouble is that they don't throw punches in a hurry. They measure you, they check your rhythm. You are eating, hey, yeah, They are looking at you that you don't understand the principle of energy conservation. As you are throwing, once you are gassing out, it might be one, but that's it. Sometimes devil does like that.

You go to a place, you, power of darkness, get out!

Some demons will scream and they will go, but the one that wants to finish you is standing behind you. That one doesn't go through get out. That one lives through obedience and allegiance to God. So sometimes the devil allow people—

Samson killed 1,000.

Was pointing, the devil was looking, eh, powerful man, powerful man.

He tore the jaw of a lion. Samson, they were writing songs.

In his name. And the devil was looking, but the devil had a plan, and the plan was that one time he would eat him, he would never recover. And the devil waited. May I tell you that sometimes what you are calling grace is the devil waiting.

Huh?

Something I want to call grace. That—

can you imagine?

I'm destroying my life and my life is not destroyed. Is the devil saying, if you do it now, if we attack you now, the edge God has made around you, they will respond? You know, when Job— when the devil was—

ah, God.

Femi Lazarus talking about Job to God. And God said, is that not my servant Job? And the devil said, eh, he said, you have made an edge around him. What's the edge? The edge of protection. Faithful men, intercessors. Sometimes many of you don't know that your parents are edge around you. He has made an edge. So the devil is saying We cannot destroy a man until we have first destroyed the edge. Sometimes that's it. You will keep having spiritual decadence till it gets you first and foremost to be offended with all those who can cover you. And everywhere they should be covering, you are angry. I went to that fellowship, they said I was eating chewing gum in Bible study. And the president talked to me the way I don't like, that's the last time I step in fellowship. The devil will clap. He likes that. He likes to first feel yourself, feel you are strong. When clearly you know you have a calling and you are doing everything else but Honoring the God who called you.

Shout, boast, look like a champion. Let them call you everywhere.

And the devil keeps thinking, I just want to knock you out. What makes you a champion is not the number of punches you can give, but the number you can withstand. Having done all, stand. And I'm coming to a note. He wants to first, eh, bit by bit. If everything should go out at once, they will help. Let me give you an illustration. Years back, some scientists picked— they got two conical flasks, got a Bunsen burner, put the conical flasks, lit it up with water, and one got boiled, the other one was still cold. The one that got boiled, they drop a frog inside, the frog jumped out. The one that was cold, they dropped the frog, but they were eating the water. As the temperature gradient was changing, the frog was adapting to the new environment. As the temperature was changing from 10° to 20° to 30° to 40°, it was adapting. By the time the water started boiling, it was too late for the frog to jump out. Many of you are adapting to what you should jump out of. And the devil is slow and progressive. He is taking his time. He wants to do a clean job, a clinical job, eh, that when he wipes a man out, you can't trace the man to Christianity ever again. And it begins gradually. You are beginning to question the existence of God because you are studying religious studies. Or African traditional religion. You are studying philosophy.

You know so much. When you come for a meeting, you are rationalizing, you are arguing. You used to be a fervent brother. You fasted and prayed.

If you can get me to campus, I will serve you. First was that you got to fellowship and pretended like you never knew God. You refused to join workforce. You refused to make yourself available so that nobody can check after you. Now it is getting so bad, you are hooked on porn, and it's—

there's a steady decline, steady. And I love what Pastor said yesterday, that the problem with distraction is not even what you are distracted into, but what you are distracted from.

That you can't buy time. There is something called Kairos. It's an appointed moment. That if on this campus there's a time appointed that God wants to visit those who are seeking him and place something on them, but when that season came, the devil makes sure that you were busy, but not with God. The urge for Reuben to sleep with his father's wife was always before the father blessed them, not for all season. If you are adapting gradually, Tonight you will shake yourself out of that fire and you will not pretend, you will not fake it, because if you fake it, you can't make it. Say, let me package myself and let me— I don't care if you are an Esco, I don't care if you're a fellowship mama, forget about those papa and mama thing. I don't care if you are the evangelist of the campus. What I care about is your soul. If you know that right now I'm in trouble, I am dying in a way that nobody can know that death is happening here, you know, it's like cancer, it is spreading but there are no signs and you are dying, but you still come, but your sensitivity is getting cold.

You can't remember the last time you did one hour alone. You can't remember, but you used to. You try to come for meetings like this, maybe you will catch fire and be reignited again. I make bold to tell you there is a season that must not pass.

I want to give you another couple of minutes. Jump on your feet and shake yourself out of the fire. This is the way you pray, particularly if you know you are in trouble.

Father, I know I'm in trouble.

The devil is not at my door and I've been trying to package it.

Tonight I ask for deliverance. Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me. Rescue me.

You have 2 minutes to pray that prayer.

Of sincerity. If you will kneel down, kneel. If you lay down, lay down. Ah, but pray. Make sure you pray.

Ask for your strength back. Oh yes. Oh yes. Shake off the dust that has gathered on you for so long. Step out of the darkness of shame you have wrapped yourself in. There is hope for a tree that is cut down, cuz at the scent of water it shall spring back to life again. Igu, you are a Soldier in the army of God and the host await your response to the clarion call. Can you feel the stirring, the stirring in your belly as your Father calls out to you now? Can you feel the breaking of the dam as the river from your belly flows? They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They will mount up. Spread those wings and fly. Lion roar, eagles fly. It's in you. You were meant to fly. Lion roar, eagles fly.

It's in you, you were meant to fly.

Lion roar!

Eagles fly, eagles fly. It's in you, it's in you, you were meant to fly, you were meant to fly.

Lion roar!

Lion roar, eagles fly, eagles fly, eagles fly. It's in you, it's in you. You are meant to fly, you are meant to fly. Lion roar, eagles fly, it's in you. You are meant to fly. Fly on your own.

Eagles fly.

Eagles fly. It's in you. It's in you.

You were meant to fly.

You were meant to fly.

Shake off the dust that has gathered on you. For so long. Step out of the darkness of shame you have wrapped yourself in. There is hope for a tree that is cut down, 'cause at the scent of water it shall spring back to life again. Ego, you are a soldier in the army of God, and the hosts await your response to declare your Can you feel the shaking, the stirring in your belly as your Father calls out to you now? Can you feel the breaking of the dam as the river from your belly flows?

Ah, those that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They will mount up with wings. Thank you.

In Jesus' mighty name we pray. Every sleeping giant, arise! Let the fire of God move across from my right To the left and to the back, let there be ignition.

Every sleeping giant, back to life!

Back to life! Quicken them, quicken them, quicken them!

Quicken them.

In Jesus' mighty name we are praying. Let that amen roar like thunder. Sit down for a while. Um, the cloud of glory has descended So there's going to be a lot of rumblings, and that's the Lord here to do what he said to do. I see someone's garments being changed. Dirty linens have been removed, and you are clothed with the raiment of God's power. Oh yes, that every sleeping giant amongst us will rise, will rise. For the Spirit and the Bride says come. The Spirit and the Bride says come. The Spirit and the Bride says come. Thank you, Lord. There's a, there's a young apostle here. Hold on, let me show you what the Lord showed to me. You are wearing a cap and the hand of God is on it, so it's a sign of power. But I see a small girl push the cap off your head. I break the grip of the spirit of immorality. You will serve God with power. Ah, I didn't hear that amen enough. So the story of Samson went from bad to worse. In Judges chapter number 16, Samson went to Gaza. If you have time, Judges 14 and 15. I told you that the devil is gradual. He does his things, it takes time. Please don't get lost in this notion that the devil is in a hurry. He takes his time. It takes his time. It takes quality time. He doesn't want people to recover, so he takes time to do damage, and we are going to see the progression. So you see, in Judges 16, Samson went out. It has gone so bad now that he went to an allot, and they told him, mighty man of God, anointed man, now that you are in a place of sin The Philistines, they're upon you, they want to destroy you. When you get into sin and there is adversity, you don't respond by showing how anointed you are.

You respond by repenting. David was a king. Nathan came and gave him a parable. There's a man in Israel, he has several sheep. He has a neighbor that has one. One day he had a guest, went to pick his neighbor's one, killed it. What should be done to that kind of person?

Ah, David said he should restore manyfold, he should be disciplined. Nathan said, you are that man. David didn't say, I'm a king, go and kill Nathan. No, he tore his clothes. He pour ashes on his head.

He was a king, he was a king before his nobles. He was on the floor.

What God looks for is not perfection, but a heart that is repentant, a heart that is broken, that trembles at his word.

There's nothing against you to fall, but to lie down there is the disgrace Never you say, do you know who I am?

An anointed man like me. Because if you keep using those words, you might be prepping your journey to a land that people don't recover from. Samson got up, he took the gate of the city, put on his shoulder. Oh yes, I'm living in sin, but power is still there.

Power, power.

This generation want power, but power is not the proof that God has endorsed the man. Power is a sign that there was a time the man got it right. It is not the sign that is still in God's presence, meaning that you can leave God's presence and power is still flowing.

You may not be in touch with God and your gift is not altered.

When you sing, there are still manifestations. As powerful as manifestations may be, they are not a sign that God approves of a man. Carry the gate of the city, put on his shoulders, climb the mountain with it. Shortly after that, Joshua 16:4. And it came to pass afterward that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek whose name was Delilah. Um, the devil has experimented with several. Now he has brought the one that will kill him. And then he said, dating Delilah, the lords of the Philistines came, told her, please help us just get him and all that. Now in Judges chapter number 16, verse 6, and Delilah said to Samson, tell me, I pray thee, wherein thy great strength lie, and wherewith thou mightest be bound to afflict you. If there's anything nice about Delilah, she doesn't lie. Show me your secret, what I want to do is to afflict you. But the man didn't start falling today. He's falling beyond the level where he can hear that one. It was gradual shutting down of his discernment. If you sit with somebody and the person says, show me your secret, So I can afflict you.

You get up.

But there's a point of overconfidence. I have done many things, I didn't lose it. Is it you that will make me lose it? And the Bible says she continued— he will lie to her, she persuaded him, and all that. Now Let's jump quickly to that same Judges, that same Judges chapter number 16, verse 16. And it came to pass when she pressed him daily with her words and urged him so that his soul was vexed unto death. You know, if you read the previous verses— we don't have time— each time he lice to her, he was going back to sleep. He was sleeping. Then this time around, she made it a daily affair. The devil may start with a person that the sin is yearly, then he wants to get it to monthly, then weekly, then it gets to daily, then it gets to every moment. That man does not even have what it takes to have a lone moment with God. His privacy is invaded. His life is now colonized. He's not in charge of his time anymore. She pressed Samson daily till he was grieved. Verse 17. Then he told her his heart and said to her, there had no razor upon my head come upon my head, for I have been in Nazareth unto God from my mother's womb. If I be shaven, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak and be like any other man. And when Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called the the lords of the Philistines, saying, come up, these ones, for he had showed me all his heart. And the lords of the Philistines came up unto her and brought money in their hand, and she made him sleep upon her knees. The place where the power is, he placed it on the knees of a woman. Where is your strength? Where have you placed it? Where? How do you sleep? Where is your power? Where are you trading your spiritual vigor? The devil wants to pillow your head on his laps. She took— now that the head is where the air is and that's where the power is, she took that powerhouse and placed on her legs and massaged him to sleep. And the mighty man slept. And what he didn't know is that that's the last time he would close his eyes in the land of the living as a mighty man. He will never be mighty again. He was sleeping his last sleep as a powerful man. All that has been said about him are about to be a thing of the past. He was about to become an ex-champion, formerly anointed, ex-glory carrier.

But he slept. Why are you asleep? While men slept, the enemy came and sowed tares in the midst of wheat.

Woe to them who are at ease in Zion. In Isaiah 60:1 says, arise, shine, for your light is come.

He said, the glory of the Lord is risen upon you, for behold Darkness will cover the earth and deep darkness the people.

But there was a warning: Arise, arise, arise! You can't sleep, you can't be tired, you can't sleep. This is not the day for spiritual slumbering. This is not the day for just a little sleep. Those days are over. If there's any sleeping giant amongst us, ah, Father, quicken them from their core.

Quicken them from their core. Revive them from their core.

It is dangerous when men sleep, particularly when enemies are around. There are devils who are waiting for you to sleep so they can knock you out. He closed his eyes, a mighty man, to open it, a mere man. He closed his eyes, a warlord, a territorial champion, to open it, a laughingstock. So when She called them and they pounced on him. Samson said, I will shake myself like other days. And what he didn't know was that that was the final straw that broke the camel's back. He was no longer mighty. He moved his hand and nobody fell. He moved the other one Nobody fell. He pushed one of their chairs, the guy stood. He has never seen that happen in his life. When he wave hands, people are falling. For the first time, Samson was making the move, nothing was moving. He was shaking himself, nothing was happening. Just like ofni anfini as When the battle was fierce, they said, go and bring the Ark of Covenant, for we have seen that whenever the Ark gets to battle, we win.

They brought the Ark. The Bible said there was a shout in the camp of the Israelites, so much so the Philistines were afraid, and they said their God was there. They broke the Ark of God, but God did not follow the Ark.

Because the hands of the men were dirty.

And somebody said, strengthen yourselves lest you become slaves of the Israelites.

We will go there and fight them. It is better we die fighting than to run.

And Ophni and Phinehas were surprised that although they did what others used to do that brought power, they still killed them.

How are the mighty fallen and the weapon of war perished. Say, tell it not in Gath, proclaim it not in the street of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised rejoice. Say, Saul has been slain like one who was not anointed with oil. God has invested, sir, but this investment over your life will not be in vain. Ah, maybe they are not here. Maybe I'm on the wrong campus. All the investment— angels came, prophesied. They said, we want to see the angel again. The angel came back, prophesied. God sent message. Everything, everything gone down the drain just like that. One woman, one razor, one night. One woman, one razor, one night. One woman, one razor, one night. Everything. And Samson, the warlord, he was one man in battle, well enough. And now they will carry him, and the first thing the enemy did was to make sure they remove the eyes. Why? Take away direction from a man who has lost power, so in case power comes, he will use to fight his own people without knowing. Of what use is a general who is now blind?

They removed the two eyes fast.

And they will slap the once upon a time warlord and say, who slapped you? And they made him— you know what they did that was painful? They made him to be doing with weakness what he ought to do in the day of strength. You know, he alone was grinding the wheat on the threshing floor, he alone. And that was a lot of weight. You usually need sometimes 2 bulls to do that. And they will laugh. They will laugh at him. If there's anyone here who has become the laughingstock of the enemy because you missed it at some point, don't care what position you hold, run out now. I'm not going to beg you. I'm not going to beg you. Run out now. Come here. Let me pray for you. You know the devil is now mocking you. You missed it in some way. It's a night with God.

And those of you who are seated here, who knows you need to give your life to Christ, run out now! Run out! Don't postpone it. Don't say I will do later what should be done now.

Run out! Run out. Beg you in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Some of you might be coming out who used to do amazing things before.

Now you can't even tell where your strength— you can't remember the last time you heard from God clearly.

You can't remember. Don't worry, once you are out, you don't have to get too close for the sake of the wires.

Some of you can't remember the last time you saw a vision. You can't remember the last time you, you enjoyed the presence. Cry to God now.

Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me. Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.

Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.

Ah, there was a time you used to carry power.

Now you can't tell what happened. You can't tell. You have become as ordinary as a man who never met him. Cry to him, Jesus, thou Son of David, help me, restore my strength, cast me not away. From your presence, O Lord. Take not your Holy Spirit from me, but restore unto me the joy of my salvation.

Help me.

You may cry, you may weep, it's okay.

Blessed are they who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Cry to him, cry to him, cry to him, cry to God is making something wonderful with your life. God is building something powerful with your life, and he won't stop. He won't stop till you look just like him. He won't stop, he won't stop till you look just like him.

He won't stop, he won't stop till you look just like him.

You may cry, but he He won't stop till you look just like him.

He won't stop till you look just like him.

I see Esthers returning back to their place, Deborahs, right, Daniels, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. I see them coming back, Josephs receiving back their strength. I see them coming, brother. I see them coming, brother. He won't stop, he won't stop till you look just like him. He won't stop, he won't stop till you look just like him. Thank you, Lord. Hey, lift your hands to God where you stand. If you are here, that your own case is that you are giving your life to Christ, now you are the only one to say this after me. And all eyes closed, say these words after me and truly mean it.

Lord Jesus—

come on, make it louder— Lord Jesus, I believe that you came into this world to die for my sins. I believe that you died for my sins. I also believe that you arose on the third day for my justification. Today I confess you as my Lord and Savior, and I accept this gift of eternal life. In Jesus' name, amen. If you have said that, I can tell you congratulations. You may not feel anything, but there's joy in heaven. You have just been saved, and there's so much joy in heaven right now because of you. Now, those of you who are coming out because there is a need for your fire to be restored, lift your hands. I ask from this very minute, ah, join your hands together. I want to do something I don't do in meetings. Now lift those hands up. Father, from my front to my right and my left, let the wave of power move right now and let men be plucked back. At the count of 3. 1, 2, 3.

Take it now! Take it, take it, take it, take it, take it now! Take it now! Surge back! Let a wave of God's glory surge across.

Just help them.

Oh yes, restoration!

Those of you over here, lift your hands loud enough. Lift your hand. I stretch my hands towards you. I use you as point of contact to every one of them.

Let the power of the Holy Ghost touch them, touch, touch, touch, touch them, touch them.

Surge of God's power, let it rest on them. Let there be a wave of his glory, rest on your heads. You are connected back, never to be cold again. Never, never to be cold again.

No more coldness.

Restoration, restoration, restoration, restoration, restoration. Help this guy, help him, help him.

Hold him.

There are many amongst you, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers. Lift your hands to heaven. Father, as I stretch my hands towards—

single them out. Let that fire from the crown of your head— take it now. Take it, take it, take it, take it, take it, take it, take it now.

Sword of God's glory.

Carry it strong.

You carry it strong.

Carry it strong. No more weakness. No more.

No more.

No more.

It is done.

It is done.

Help them.

In Jesus' mighty name we have prayed. Now the rest of you go back to your seat. It's done. Something is released. Those under the anointing, allow them. This is an Holy Ghost meeting already, so allow them. The rest, just hold those you can hold. The rest, go back to your seat and let me wrap up my teaching, because this is where it— this is the most important part. Don't worry, don't worry. Sit down. Sit down. Oh yes, just help them. Just some of them, allow them till they can, but if you can help them out there, you should. Thank you, Lord. Now sit down, sit down quickly, sit down. Those under there shouting, just help them. Those ones to the far side. So that we can continue. Let's help them so they don't injure themselves. Come on, let's take it together. 1, 2, 3, go!

Louder!

I want to hear the audience, the loudest you can. Now lift your voice again, loud enough. The name of the Lord is a strong The righteous Robin and the Sea King, he gave it to me as my inheritance so I can make waffle with it. Now sit down, sit down for a while. Those shouting, you can help them far side a bit so that the rest can hear me. They took Samson They removed his eyes, they got him blinded, they were using him. In Judges 16:23, the Bible said, the lords of the Philistines gathered them together for to offer a great sacrifice unto Dagon their god, and to rejoice, for they said, our god had delivered Samson, our enemy, into our hand. That's what they were saying. In verse 24, when the people saw him— ah, please, I want the ushers to stand and face the other side now. Turn around, because there's a lady that something— I just see someone running. There's a power, and that's— it's a very intense one, so you have to help now. They called for Samson So they, they were, they were make sports. But in Numbers 16:26, and Samson said unto the lad that held him by the hand, suffer me that I may feel the pillars whereupon the house standeth, that I may lean upon them. Now the house was full of all men and women, and all lords of the Philistines were there, and they were upon the roof about 3,000 men. And women that beheld while Samson made sport. And Samson called unto the Lord and said, O Lord God, remember me, I pray thee, strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O Lord, that I may be— that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes. And Samson took hold hold of the middle pillar upon which the house stood and on which it was borne up, of one with his right hand and of the other with his left. And Samson said, let him die with the Philistines, and bowed himself with all his might, and the house fell upon the lords of the Philistines and all the people that were there. So the dead which he slew at his death was more than the ones he slew at his lifetime. There is a God who doesn't abandon his wounded soldiers. He restores. He restores anyone who comes to him. He will in no wise cast away. Are you here? It doesn't. It doesn't. I've called altar call. But there are still some of you seated here who are asking, will I ever see this anointing again? Will I still be able to do amazing things? You might be young, but anointing might already be a thing of the past in your life, but there's a God who is bringing back the fire. And let me beg you, when you make mistakes or you sin, don't run from God. Run towards God. Run towards God.

Run towards—

all that comes to him, he will in no wise cast away. I see God raising mighty men. From this land. Huh? You know why Samson was able to do what he did? As they were laughing at him, they were singing and eating. God fast-tracked the process of his hair growth, and it was growing back. Sit down, don't stand, because what I'm about to do now will be intense. Any Samson here? Whose hair has been shaved, whether male or female. As I speak, as I speak, sit down. There is the intensity of God's weight, the kabod, that will sit on your head now, and you are returning back tonight to the place of strength. Sit down. That's why I said sit down. Even as I speak, let those who have lost utterance— the utterance be back.

Let prophets, apostles, teachers, evangelists, those that God has raised who have lost certain things— as I speak, let the intensity of the weight of glory shield you Now those eyes that has been shut, be restored. Let the eyes that no longer see pop open and begin to see.

Pop open and begin to see.

Let the tongue that used to sing, that used to receive sounds from heaven, let the angels of God's presence that used to usher you into realities be back right now. Ah, you are back where you used to be with the Lord. You are back in a place of strength. You are back in the place of power.

You are back in the place of authority.

You Ah, back!

Deborahs, Esthers, Samsons, rise back to your place in destiny. Let dry bones come alive. Let dry bones come alive. Fellowships where revival had died, fire is restored. Prayer camps rise from this camp. I I speak to this territory. Hear the voice of the Lord. From today, oh, UNI Abuja, mighty men will rise from this place. Your mighty men will no longer die within your walls. We engraft this campus back in the midst of grounds that produce mighty men. This campus becomes a ground where mighty men will rise. The fire that is called down today for generations coming will not go out. It will not go out.

Let priesthood come back. Priesthood, come back. Thank you, Lord. Try hold it if you can. Now before I leave, I would like to pray for campus fellowship president, um, escos of fellowship. If you don't mind, just come out so I can agree with you in prayers. That's a gift I owe you. I don't know how hungry you— some of you are bouncing out. I will tell you, go back inside.

Are you ready?

Ah, be here. Only leaders of fellowships, only leaders of fellowships, only leaders, only leaders, only Leaders, only leaders of fellowships, only leaders of fellowships.

Amen.

Now silence everywhere, pay very important attention. Peter was going at the hour of prayer to the church himself and James. They met a man at the gate called Beautiful. He was lame. They dropped him there to ask for money. The man was looking at them hoping to get something. Peter said, 'Silver and gold we don't have, but such as I have, I give.' There is such as God has given me, and one of it is a fire that never goes out. The fire that never go out. Fire that never goes out. I stretch now. Let me tell you, what is about to come is very heavy, so pay attention. It's going to be heavy, not going to hold back. I stretch my hands towards all of you from my right to the left, and I use you as point of contact. That the fire that never goes out—

touch them now! Touch, touch them from the crown of their heads to the sole of your feet. Touch them, touch them! Let prophets, teachers, apostles, pastors, evangelists rise from amongst you.

That's fire that never goes goes out. You will carry it beyond campus.

You will carry it beyond campus. You will carry it beyond campus. You will carry it beyond campus. Let the oil of God's presence rest upon you now. From today, you will be fresh. Spiritually. From today, you will be fresh spiritually. From today, you will be fresh spiritually. You will never become formally anointed.

Grace, grace. It is done, it is done. In Jesus' mighty name we have prayed. You may go back to your seat. Something has landed, something has landed very strong. Please go back quickly, I want to bless all of you now. So I pronounce the four walls of Uni Abuja, hear the voice of the Lord. From now going forward, this becomes a reference point as far as the move of God is hand. For generations to come, they'll be making reference to the mighty men rising from these grounds.
