AS FAR AS YOUR EYES CAN SEE 2 || APOSTLE FEMI LAZARUS || FESTIVAL OF LIFE 2024

Apostle Femi Lazarus calls the church to bold, expansive vision: establish media outlets across continents, mobilize resources for spiritual warfare, and rebuild what's broken. He emphasizes faith-driven action over excessive theology, drawing on scripture to argue God's authority is limitless and believers must think bigger.
Chapters
Ambience TV. Jeremiah chapter number 32 from verse 27. Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for me? I am the Lord. That's, that's the word of the Lord tonight. I am the Lord of all flesh. I, as we're singing, I saw, I saw doors with locks breaking, just breaking, just breaking, just breaking, just breaking. Let's break it. I don't know what door has been locked, and Prophet said it exactly. It is where it is now. I see doors, iron bars, entrance has been closed, and suddenly by the surge of God's Spirit, doors are breaking, locks are breaking, and doors are opening. Sit down for a while. Just leave me in my office tonight. Genesis chapter number 13. And the Lord said unto Abraham, after Lot was separated from him, lift up now thine eyes and look from the place where thou at northward, southward, eastward, and westward. For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it forever, and to thy seed forever. Everywhere, every— as long as You can see it. He said, consider it yours. Somebody is stepping into a new place. Let me show you something. Exodus chapter number 3. Let's start the reading from verse 13. I just want to reintroduce you again. I could only touch this briefly yesterday. Exodus chapter number 3, we'll start reading from verse 13. And Moses said unto God, behold, when I am come to the children of Israel and shall say unto them, the God of your fathers had sent me to you. And they shall say to me, and they shall say to me, sorry, what is his name? What shall I say unto them? And God said unto Moses, I am that I am. That's, that's, that's, that's a— it's a proud way to introduce yourself. But you see, God cannot be proud because no description can be enough. Pride is when you rate yourself above measure. Is the fullness of the measure. There is no name you can give him that is too much. Is the possibility to every impossibility. You see, you need to understand, he is alone in his class. Just sit down for a while and try to trace who is God. Where did he come from? What was before the beginning? Where is everything going? He's the one with the perfect picture in his hand. So when he speaks to your small situation, he say, he say By this time tomorrow, a measure of wheat will be sold for a shekel, 2 measures of barley for a shekel. The Bible said the man on whose hand the king leaned said, how shall these things be? What if I tell someone that tonight is the last night of your ordinariness? You know There comes a day in the life of a man that he will wake up normal, and that is the last day of normalcy. That day may not come with any specific sign. Your day is the day you dare to believe. By this, he said, even if God opened the windows— do you know what the window of heaven is? He said, might these things be. The servant of God said, you will see it too, but you won't eat of it. God didn't need to shake. He doesn't need to stand up on your matter. It is too much. He just sent forth his word, and that's all that needs to be done. It matters who says, I will give you. Are you following what I'm saying? If I say I'm going to give you, I can only give you at my level. When God says as far as your eyes can see, the only, the only challenge there can be to that is for you to undersee, not to oversee. There's nothing you can conceive that you say that's too much. It was Elijah who said what Elisha asked was too much, not God. As far as he is concerned, keep asking till your joy is what? His— your limitation is not his limitation. Are you following what I'm saying? His is God. The mother of Jesus, and Jesus attended the wedding. I don't know who those people were to the mother of Jesus, but she must have loved them, and she came to meet him. Oh boy, wine has finished. Say, what was my business with them? My time has not come. Whether they have served him wine or not, we're not told. But at some point, the mother said to them, anything he ask you to do, do it. He saw that they were ready to obey. He said, go and fetch water. Fetch water. Fetch from the water you have fetched, go and give the chief event planner. That's audacity there. He didn't say water become wine. When he speaks, all the fermentation process required, huh, what is it called, pasteurization process, the fermenting of this and that together, it was no longer needed. His word, you know, in chemistry there's something we call catalyst. For a layman, they say catalyst speed up the rate of chemical reaction. Well, as you go further, it actually lowers activation energy. I think I still know chemistry small. I taught people. So it means that when he speaks, what should take 10 years can take a moment. Time, time, time bows to him. That's, that's the God we're talking about. Jesus met the man that was at the pool called Bethesda. He said, do you want to be made whole? The guy said, I have no man. He thought Jesus was trying to say, I will position you close to the river. The river of life is here. That's, that's the ever-steady river. Say, I have no man. And you know, sometimes you have stayed so long So long in issues that you are like the man at the gate called Beautiful. You can't imagine God doing anything except you have looked to the hands of— he said, behold, I make all things new. Let me tell you something, long after this conference is over, testimonies won't stop coming. I don't care if there's somebody here whose womb has been removed. He did not need the consent of a doctor to create it in the first place. Anatomy only attempts to study what he created, and physiology attempts to study how it functions. When he sees it, ah, the guy had no eyes, no, no eyes. He took him aside. He said, I know how I did it from the beginning. He spat on the floor, molded, molded there. So when the Bible said in the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, the Word was God, all things were made by him, and without him was not anything made, he demonstrated, I am the Creator. If there's anyone here, whether on TV, watching online, whose body needs a recreation by the power that is in the word of the Lord. Whether there are cancerous cells spreading across tissues, whether somebody's pancreas has given way, you're already having insulin resistance, whether somebody's liver is packing up Whether somebody's genotype needs amendment now, the very one who did it from the beginning is interrupting every negative process now. He's interrupting negative process now.
Let there be reconstructions again. I decree let there be reconstructions.
What needs to be repaired is repaired. What needs to be replaced is replaced. What needs to be overhauled is overhauled. You will see him in his big way. Now pay attention to this. Yesterday I told you that there is something about the nature of God we barely— we, we don't pay attention to it. The nature of God is extravagance. He said, ask of me even to the ends of the earth. You cannot over-ask. There's no dream you can conceive that is big enough. Some of the things we call mighty moves will soon become child's play because an army is rising. I've told you, as much as I, I honor the fathers, I, I celebrate what God has done in the past, I celebrate the move of God, the prophetic move, the prayer movement, but the best of God is still yet to come. This is what I'm saying. There are people seated here that generations yet unborn will not stop talking about men who arose. That when they are, when they are writing history books, they'll say, time will fail me to tell of Femi Lazarus, a man who through faith subdued kingdoms, shut the mouth of lions, received the dead back to life. I know it like I know my name. That men like me don't go down. Now, I spoke to you about awareness, and awareness will sound like pride if you are speaking in the ears of a mediocre. I want to give you a minute to speak about the things you are aware of.
I am too conscious. I take my boast in the name of the Lord. Men like me don't vanish like smoke. I represent the possibilities of God in the most dynamic ways. Through my life and ministries, new moves are introduced. I recognize that the best of God is not in the past.
I recognize I recognize. In Jesus' name we are praying. Say that amen loud enough. Say that amen again loud enough. Sit down for a moment. You are going to do a lot of talking in this conference. Look at what the Bible says in the book of Ephesians chapter number 3, verse 20. Ephesians 3:20. Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all we ask or think, meaning that even when he says as far as your eyes can see. It can still do more. Let me tell you the reason why you must conceive more in this season. It is in God's best interest that you rise. Your mediocrity brings no glory to him. Your smallness brings no advancement to the kingdom. It doesn't. And some people believe that maybe the part God has apportioned for me is just, is just to just be there. Your theology is wrong. Now unto him that is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all you can ask or what, meaning that as, as powerful as— and Pastor Mimi said something yesterday And what she said, that's actually, that's a subject in anatomy on its own. That's the brain receptors. The brain can't distinguish between what you are seeing and what you are imagining. That's why somebody can have imagination about something and certain response is released in the body. Meaning that while you are still in Ibadan, You can have an experience of the future and the emotions of the future just by conceiving it. Now, I told you, when Sphere of Light Church was using that bar, that bar in Eleife, early Sunday morning, very demonic people. That's when they are making shawarma and all those things, and you are asking, which one? What's going on? And many times I see down there, they are singing praise and worship. We don't know if God is honored by it because even us, we are confused. And yet in the midst of that, I close my eyes and I see nations. I see people from different race of the earth. You are standing in a ministry that will touch the ends of the earth. Now hold on, if you go to the future and come back, you speak for the record. It is a point you are speaking to create. Another point, you are speaking for the record.
So meaning, as you are permitted to see it, you come back in the midst of that one room, it occurs to you, I have seen the future. God can't show me what doesn't exist. You can't get around and just looking, look down yourself, who is going to help me? Wake up from your sleep and slumber. He is able to give abundantly above what you can think.
We are not here trying to sermonize you. You wake up and take your part. I've gone into depression before because of shoe. Now I sit back and say, what would my angels be thinking? Ko man kaka. What is man save that you consider him? Look at the man God wants to give nations. He's doing 3 days dry for shoes.
3 days dry.
I was crying. Why will you send me to— on a walk? I say, um, the shoe of the gospel. Where's the shoe? I have the gospel, no shoe. Why are you sending me forth to embarrass me?
3 days dry, for sure.
I can't believe my mind. Let me tell you this: anything that is already installed in your scroll, as far as you can see it, it is no longer a prayer point. It ceases. To be a prayer point. What do you do? You speak it into reality and quickly rejoice over it. It is with joy that we draw from the wells of salvation. Speak it and rejoice! You see, let me tell you something. This awareness, it makes you look like— you know, people who smoke ibu, huh? I've been in the place where they were passing it around, and I just couldn't find the courage. But I just know that there's something about that thing that when you take it, people will start looking small in your eyes. That's why they call it Fono Gao.
Gao, gao, gao, gao.
You look at your dad and say, uwey bawo. And that's the same way you can arise like an edifice. See, people think that we are pretending, but this is how things are created. This is the reality. This is the reality. This is the reality. You look at the situation, then you look at what has been done. Quickly call it forth, seal it with joy. You don't go back and say, Father, in the name of Jesus, I— you do it, you do it.
God has shown you your child. You will rejoice over it.
Some prayers are not prayers of faith. They are signs you doubt God. You know, we believe once you say in Jesus' name is a prayer of faith. Sit down for a moment. The God we— that has called us is big in every sense of it. I showed you Exodus 14 yesterday. Moses was motivating them. He said, the Egyptians you see today, you see them no more. He said to them, go forward. You are the one who recognize the sea. I Don't. Ah, somebody just come stand in front of me now and say, Apostle, Apostle, you won't believe, even tonight I, I, I don't have what to eat. As much as that is a problem, it is a joke. God wants to give you the ends of the earth. You are asking for bread. You are asking for Ibadan. Adeolu of Ibadan. Adeolu of Ibadan. Eh, Arapaaja of Ilah. The man that God wants to give nations. You see, Let me tell you something. One of the ways to keep discovering the possibility of God is that he will lead you in a path of from the known to the unknown. You see, you must, you must watch out for this pattern. You are familiar with how things work here. You share testimony, you know, oh, if you do ministry here, this will work. And then God tells you, you have seen results, get out again. If the principle is the principle, it doesn't work once, it works always. 2 2 is always 4. There's no day it will be almost 4.
Always 4.
You must get to that point where nothing in you can doubt. You— my wife was sharing something with you and I was just smiling yesterday. Whenever I need to step into a territory, anyone who has any report that the territory is an impossible place, that is the last conversation we are having. Because you are trying to bring me into your own reality. I don't believe that I can do anything and it will be small. Now, it is a sense of what? Awareness. You can't know who your father is and doubt who you are. You're not a bastard. You are not a bastard. Say loud and clear, unto him. Say it again, unto him that is able to give. Exceedingly abundantly above what I can ask or think. Now look at this scripture. We read this scripture yesterday. I think Pastor Femi read it. Numbers chapter number 13. Now, before you read that scripture, I want to tell you the reason why. Before we read Numbers 13, give me Isaiah chapter number 60. Let me show you something. When, when you see this, number one, you will not be blinded by your own light.
We, we are—
there's nothing God has for us that we have even touched 1%. Let me tell you what the Bible says about the end time armies. There is no historical reference for the kind of greatness he wants to give. No historical what?
Reference.
The Bible said there's not been any like this before. So think about all the stories you have read. Catherine— you know, we are addicted to those stories. Catherine Kuhlman, um, Watchman Nee, There is a set coming that those ones will have to stand in the grandstand of faith and say, who are these ones again? Give me Isaiah chapter number 60 from verse 1. Isaiah 60:1. Quickly, quickly, quickly, quickly. Popular scripture: Arise, shine, for your light is come. And the glory of the Lord is risen upon who?
Thee.
Now look at verse 2 now, quickly. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth and gross— if darkness will cover the earth, why then do you think God doesn't want to spread what you are doing? Why do you think God will give darkness the advantage over light? Meaning that there is something those who represent darkness knows. That helps them spread. I was checking a documentary and, um, um, the, the fellow speaking in it showed how that I think between 1999 and now, um, one man has written over 70% of the American songs that won Grammy. One man. They were trying to explain he was into spiritism, whatever it is. Anything that the fake exists, the original exists. The agenda of God for the end-time church is to cover, shun, and discard any nonsense doctrine that gives you the impression that God wants you stagnated. It's a lie from the pit of hell. We have always missed it. History has shown. And that's why, added to what God is giving you, must be the spirit of boldness, the ability to insist.
People will derail you from what God wants to give you and repent. The moment you have missed it, they change their doctrine. I have—
I'm not saying apologetically— I have watched people who propagated moves in this country that derailed many young people, and they changed back to start honoring.
You led a move, many people followed you, and they were grounded. Now you repented, and many of them have no place again in ministry.
It matters who you are listening to. Are you following? You must defend the depth, the width, the size of what God wants to give you. God is trying to call somebody into ministry. The fellow is sitting there and you are feeling fly. Eh, I don't even know what I've done to deserve God calling me. God is talking to you. You are saying you don't know what you have done. You better get to work. You, you let me tell you something. My life, I don't know much about mantles, but I know anything he shows me, I do. You may now call it a mantle, I don't care. I don't know too much, but if he shows me, you, so you may now go back and do the math whose mantle is he operating with. I don't really care if he should. I don't need too much grammar, just show me the work. That needs to be done. I wasn't like this, but a spirit entered into me called the spirit of faith. From that moment, I lack the capacity to be afraid.
I don't know. People tell me you are bold. I don't know I should be scared. I'm looking for fear, I can't find. I don't know. I am— if I am, I'm honest enough to tell you.
I told you We finish this meeting this month, we pull down this facility, put something. I don't know how best to say it. Ah, let's be trusting God for money. When you speak now, all the forces that needs to hear that there is a project on ground has heard. We have said it in small ways like this, has come to pass. Why do you want some sense of feelings to start creating, or you want some, some kind of this, this, this? I have the Stop talking about the mantle.
Get the job done. Get the job done. Get the job. It is the job. God is placing the spirit of leadership in the body of Christ. Don't, don't just go around. Get the job done. Get to work. I don't know how best to explain. I don't know best. I don't know how to help you. I don't know what confirmation you need. It is a spirit. Once you see it, do it. Explain later.
Explain later.
There's something God is doing now.
There's— see, I think people who are even talking about transition are not even part of it. Those who are part of it are just working. I told you that the anointing doesn't meet Eliab on the bed, it meets David on the field. Get to work.
Get to walk with that grace. Start thinking.
See, see, you— there's no way you can possibly be saying, eh, we are part of those, we are part of those that God is going to use for the last days, we are part of those, and the fellow is there embarrassing the nature of God, thinking anyhow.
He see, he see, you, you, you can't arise to see what God is doing.
You are not there yet. But the Spirit will lend time to you and stand you up on your feet.
And you, you can't, you can't even explain the reckless abandon with which you start doing things.
I've seen many people who have so many confessions that they have no conviction. Today is in full-time ministry, tomorrow is in Sola, next tomorrow Is a— oga, you are not fully persuaded. The day this thing enter into you, enter the realm of if I die here, I die. Sit down for a moment. You see, when God told us to move to Abuja, I told Many of my people, even those who are working in powerful organization, I said resign, then follow me. If you lack anything, then you can leave. Cobble we don't have, no car. God has said you should drop the car. House, The week to the movement, he said drop the house rent. We went to check one house in a place in Abuja called Katampe Extension. That place was my weakness. If you don't know Abuja, just smile. When you go to Abuja, just take a stroll to Katampe Extension to see what Apostle saw. They showed me the house. You have to just speak. At the passage, light will come up. Ah, I want this house. I was imagining my people, all of us enjoying the house. The house even have one swimming pool at the back. I said, how much? You know, Abuja, they tell you price As if they are the ones that work your pocket. I said, "Okay, I'm not trying to buy the house. Just talk to me now." I remember I sat with the man, tried to bargain. Cobble I don't have. The man said, "No, no, no, no, actually not this kind of house." After a while, I stood in church office. Church office, two plastic chair with carton that they remove amplifier from. You put it on top of one, you pray and sleep off. You put your head there. And I was really, really down. God, I brought people's children here, no accommodation. You need to know the way God thinks. He didn't even speak to the situation. He said, look from the window, what do you see? He said, son, I will give you a city in this city. Ah, ah, ah, and barely we're asking for a house. You are talking about— as far as he's concerned, who is this that darknet counsel with words without wisdom, without— who is this?
Who is— who— do you know who your father is? Who— who is this guy?
Who is this that dark counsel Some people think maybe God has left them, and God is saying, you don't know your father. You know, one time I went online and I saw somebody has tagged me somewhere, and it was the agent that didn't give me the house. He now said, if I knew that this was the man I didn't give the house Ah, I made a big mistake. This man came, he wanted a house for me. I could have, but I didn't give him. Oti lo, babé, it's gone. In case the agent is watching, I saw the message. I didn't just reply. It is when your life is better that people will regret of how they treat you. If nothing has changed, or let's assume they saw you being arrested with handcuffs, they say, thank God, thank God. Failure is an orphan. Failure is an— you won't be a failure. You won't be a failure. Ah, you didn't ask. You won't be a failure. We have not seen a pinch of what God intends to do. Not a pinch. You know, I was preparing to come for this meeting and the Lord asked me a very simple question. He said, son, what if I give you a million dollars? Onyelu ami. Mugba. Osidara. Lobo.
Lobo.
Interpret for the neighbor. Well, when he does it, Aku won't talk. You just notice the way Apostle is dancing today. What changed, though? Well, this Apostle doesn't really know how to dance. There is a kind of testimony that gives you dancing step. Now sit down for a while. We're in a season that the sons of darkness are spreading mercilessly spreading dangerous innovations, dangerous things, filling the media with toxic things, evil content, dark counsels, just spreading it everywhere. It is only the church that believes that it is in God's nature for us to be small. How can the only institution alive to stop the work of darkness, do it in a small way. I don't care what anybody has to say about church finance, church people. Imagine whenever they talk about church, they always label you poor, poor members, poor members, poor members, rich pastor. The question is, are you poor? Let me ask you again now. The question is, are you poor? When, when we deal with that narrative we'll be able to enter into some new things. God punish the devil. Ah, poor member, poor member. You know, one time we're on PPC talking about the vision of our school that is commencing, and somebody said, please make, make it cheap for poor people like us to be able to attend. I said, that's your portion. You chose— no, you chose that portion and you have chosen what you want. Now look at that thinking. Somebody else will say, we are going to get this done. Now pity is not a medium of exchange in the spirit realm. Pity, pity, pity. Oh, pity me. This year is going to an end. Lord, raise somebody to pity me. They look down and help me. Meanwhile, God is saying, is the lamb not right in front of you? Look, look at the things God wants to do with the church. Before I read that, Numbers 13, show me Ephesians chapter number 3, verse 10, Message translation. Ephesians 3:10. Say, through Christians like yourselves gathered in churches, this extraordinary plan of God is being known, is becoming known and talked about even among angel— among the angels. So through us, angels are now— I don't want to use the word gossiping— discussing that it appears there are some set of guys coming up. There is a plan God has.
Angels are talking about it.
Now give me verse 11 quickly.
And this is proceeding along the lines planned all along by God, then executed in Christ Jesus. There is the generation that talk about it, but there is another generation that get it done. Doing it, not being bothered with pages of history. Thank God for history, but there are those who fulfill prophecies.
Who just wake up and get things done. Moses didn't have to read too many books about what is about their slavery and the dynamics of their slavery. His duty was to get them out, and he did. Stop knowing too much about the problem. Stop knowing too much. It's not a sign of diligence. Stop knowing too much about the problem. I don't believe there's anywhere God wants me to go to We do visibility studies, but mostly it's place of prayer. Sometimes you don't need certain information. I've had to pray for people who are sick, cancer and all that, and I discovered that most cases, the reason why some die is because they know too much about cancer than they know about the power of God. And in most of those cases, I look at the person, I said, do you want me to deceive you? If you want me to deceive you, I just pray. Get this person saturated with the word. The word will change you from inside out. Inside out. I told you, God told me that by this time next year, people are going to be chartering planes to come for this conference. Now somebody somewhere doesn't believe he's amongst them. You say, ah, amen, oh God, let that person be my friend in the name of Jesus.
So that person, somebody I know, God did not give you the spirit of bondage.
I don't know where you got it from. Didn't. Now look at it, Numbers 13. Numbers chapter number 13. If you're there, say amen. Amen. The Israelites has been sent to spy land. All right, now let's start the reading from verse 25. Numbers 13 from verse 25. And they returned from searching of the land after 40 days. And they went and came to Moses and to Aaron and all the congregation of the children of Israel unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh, and brought back word unto them and unto the congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land. And they told him and said, we came unto the land whither thou sentest us, And surely it floweth with milk and honey, and this is the fruit of it. Nevertheless, the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled and very great. Moreover, we saw the children of Anak there. And the Anakite dwelt in the land of the south, and the Hittites, and the Jebusites. Now I say, those are the Jebus. And the Amorites dwell in the mountains, and the Canaanites dwell by the sea and by the coast of Jordan. And Caleb steeled the people before Moses and said, let us go up at once and possess it, for we are well able. Now thinking, thinking, thinking, they saw the same thing differently. Thinking. So we can't, we can't, we can't do— those guys are so mighty. I, I was, I was talking to one of my spiritual daughters that there is something called toxic admiration. That's when you're in a place where you're always celebrating great people, great people, and you do that at the expense of your own greatness. Never see anything about you. Every time And it's fantastic, and it's okay to celebrate people. I wish you can also do the same thing. Do yourself the courtesy of knowing who you are. Just understand, this is who I am. Like the Yorubas will say, "E mi no oke re no aye." Not small. I'm not small. I honor you, but I am not small.
You know, it's okay. We celebrate. Oh, we want to thank God for Apostle. Apostle is a great man. Oh, fantastic teacher. What about you? What about you?
I wish the way you put up pictures on your DP and all those, you just do yourself the courtesy of doing that about you for some days. This is who I am. This is what I do. I am the best at my job. Just some understanding. And the reason why many are still where they are is because they recognize external forces. They just, just, they just seem to have that respect. Stop having respect to limitations. I've told the pastors, there's no such thing as church, church can't grow here, church can't— it's a hard ground. There are no hard grounds, there are only dry men.
There are no hard— quote me again— there are no what? Hard ground! Go to Central London, the Arabs are buying all the places there. The Arabs! Check around the UK, the Muslim community are spreading like wildfire. All the places we once celebrated about the move of God.
Who was talking about Nineveh yesterday? You need to know what is going on there.
Islam everywhere.
I told you, Saudi Arabia alone gave $1 trillion. That's towards Islamization, but in the aspect of sports and entertainment. $1 trillion for a year. And the only thing we can do in the church is to fight. Why are we arguing about tithe and offering? Because we have small thinking. They sent me the video. I watched that video. While they were arguing, the fire went out. We're arguing, we're arguing. You, what you are saying is not doctrine. You, what you are saying is doctrine. And the devil behind our back is advancing, is advancing, is advancing. And we just argue. You, you, what, what is the Greek word for that one there? Ah, no, no, onomatopoeia. Eh, what do you mean? Eh, no, no, that's not it. That's supposed to be it. We know so much Greek and Hebrew and have little result. We make so much noise and we are very timid people. We're only bold when we want to deal with fellow Christians. That's when we are bold. If government will bring one thing now, we cower inside. Sometimes when we shut ourselves down, do we know what we are doing? Do we know the work that needs to be done? I can list 10 agendas for you. 10. 10 agendas. And that's why I said, if you are seeing the problem, God will give you the means to solve it. I don't really think ministry is magic. If you are seeing local problems, you get the local means to solve local problems. If you are seeing national problems, you get the national means to solve national problems. If you are seeing global problem, God will bless you at the level to solve it.
Sometimes I look around, are we even joking?
Between last year December and now, I can tell you people of other faiths that have given their lives to Christ.
The girl was in her church in Abuja, she went on the bridge to die. He saw a video. I said, let me watch it. And it was about suicide. She watched, he sat down on the bridge and was crying.
Guess who saw the video and said Lazarus is a motivational speaker? Christians. Motivational speaker? Are we so blind that if God is not moving through you, then he's not moving at all?
Are we so blind?
Have we become so hateful that we can't see God in the—
and see that God has different shades? And that's why some of us will stand.
Let me tell you something, you have not seen us being dragged. Our model were dragged on the floor. We are being dragged on social media. It is easy. We have been prepared for this time. We have been given the wisdom to show you their foolishness. We will stand in the midst of it.
They will insult, we will absorb.
Stand, do.
He sought, we absorbed. Stand, do, till many can say, what is even there? Let's rise up again. The spirit of boldness. God punish the devil. Somebody is afraid. I don't want to say this, they will drag me. God punish the devil. We are being prepared for such a time as this.
See, see, see, see, we might look cool, the fire that forged us is not.
Huh? Look at what they are doing. Look, we will stand in the midst of it. We will give too much light, it will get to a point you are saying, look at what he said.
Look at people by themselves will fight you and say, have you not seen what is happening? Have you not seen what is happening here? Have you not seen what is happening here? Stand your ground and know that is the Lord. You cannot get anywhere with timidity.
They will talk you out of your calling, talk you out of your process, talk you out of God's plan, and they will repent tomorrow. Wake up! God is not joking with the church. It is an end-time move. The Bible told us all that is happening. You will be hated for my name's sake. In the midst of it, stand.
See, the word for this season is maintain your focus.
Don't be distracted. This is where we are going. This is where we are going. We are getting a community of 1 billion people to begin to teach the word. That is where we are going. Stand your ground. Stop being a sissy, a wimp, just checking. Eh, then look at what they are saying about me, and they were dragging me. Stop the nonsense.
Somebody was asking me, do you— don't you care about validation? I said, who validate who? What if the person you are going to validate, you doesn't know what you are saying yet? So I will wait for your understanding to be full before I'm now secure. God punish the devil. Don't just be anointed, be bold. Be bold. Be bold. When David got to the camp, his only question was, what will be done for the guy that killed this guy? Not how long has he been fighting. He's dead, he's dead. Just tell me my reward. Tell your neighbor, be bold. One of the things the devil is doing against the church is to plant the seed of intimidation. People are afraid, and there are things now you don't talk about. If it is correct doctrine, teach it. If people are being blessed and time comes for us, we say you should give, and that's why you now perceive us as thief, it's your business. No, it's your business. Have you been blessed? Yes. We've been teaching?
Yes. Have Are you blessed?
Paul said, if I minister to you spiritual things, she minister to me carnal things. Pastors can't teach giving, can't tell people to give because they will drag them on social media. God punish the devil. And people are going to club and spending millions over the weekend.
Poor people.
They didn't say poor people. They didn't say poor people. But somebody give 100 naira in church, say poor people. How we can't even recognize propaganda? God is giving wisdom. To solve those issues, to counter propaganda. He's giving wisdom.
Pay attention, he's releasing intelligence in the body of Christ. He's giving proofs that can't be doubted. Not all of you will hold the mic. Some of you will need to stand in place of proofs, proofs that can't be doubted. See, listen, many of you will get into podcast. We are going to get into all these things.
Somebody was talking about, eh, this amount, girls. I mean, I look at the dirty stuff and the nonsense stuff. Where are the people that will speak and the intelligence they are speaking with?
Nations, leaders of will have to listen and understand. This is a body of intelligence with excellence. Many of you will conceive media ideas. Start.
You may start small, but be aggressive about pushing it. Be aggressive.
The end-time church is a combatant church. What are we doing if we are not fighting?
You see, they are fighting you. Fight, or they cut off your head. Fight. Everything is fair when you are in the battlefront.
Fight. Say, why are they fighting me? You better start fighting. That's what you are here for.
News flash: you were not released at the time that there was peace.
We have work. Tell your neighbor, we have work to do. We have work.
Let me give you one. Let me give you one. You know, when I talk about rebuilding old ruins, right? Can I give you one? One old ruins. Who are those that will conceive the intelligence to reclaim the rainbow?
Rainbow.
Oh, you don't know what that means?
Counter-propaganda measures. Smart, wise moves.
If we rise, they can't beat us at this game.
They can't.
But the problem is you've been indoctrinated that it's just about church, it's just about church. Salvation, just give your life to Christ. Salvation is entrance to the gate. What then do you do? Take responsibility.
You have a role to what? Play.
You have a role to play. Don't light the candle and put under a bushel. We have work to do. Don't be fascinated by their height, their stature. There's work. God is anointing his children in this season for the work. I didn't hear amen to that. He's anointing us for the work. Dr. Femi Lazarus was here. Okay, we're having a podcast in Abuja. I think he's in America now for the Grammys. We Christians, let's just, let's just, let's just, let's just play safe. They are sending you to the battlefront, you want what is safe? Let me tell you, eh, Yoruba used to say, mi ole wa kuku on jo yen le babaye. Anyone who says I cannot come and go and kill myself should not be a chief in his father's house. It is those of us who are ready for the heat. Are you ready for the smoke? No, I'm ready for the smoke. No, I counted my cost. No, I counted my cost. We're about to start new series that will be offensive. One time I told them, I said, see, if you were born in this of your ancestors, you think Amadioha is that nice? They would have used you for sacrifice.
Hey, why would he say that? Oh, our daring, amazing ancestors.
Jesus. Yeah, yeah. And somebody must be bold enough to tell you, do you know why he did that? There is a gradual move now of African traditional religion spreading.
People are going back, they are going back doubting Jesus and spreading. You are here being afraid. He said, God, give us resources.
Can you face the smoke? It is not this or that, it is this and that. It is this and that. You want the resources but you don't want the work. You know, they go hand in hand. They go hand in hand. There are many people who will not even know you until you are dragged. So all things work together for good. Now stop this nonsense fear. And stand as men of war. Mordecai said to Esther, could it be that God has placed you there for such a time as this? Esther said, you guys go and pray, myself and my maids will go and fast and pray too, and I will go into the king. If I die, I die. If I perish— who are those that will carry kingdom matters on their head? I, I sense— listen, there's going to be an outbreak, uh, of supernatural supplies, but it will require those who have the spirit of audacity. Now let me give you a minute in case you don't know what that means. Can I give you—
can— are there people here who are angry? You know, it's sort of like anger is our signature. Are there those who are angry for a minute? I receive the spirit of boldness. I receive— I receive the spirit of boldness. I refuse to be a wimp.
Sleeping soldiers, the time is now, the time is now. Sleeping Soldier, your time is now, your time is now.
I wake, I wake, Sleeping Soldier, time is now, time is now. Come on!
Thank you, Lord.
Amen.
Sit down for a moment as I round up. God is releasing the spirit of creativity in the body of Christ. Is giving you the tongue of the Leonard. Is giving you a wisdom that no adversary can withstand or gainsay. Is— listen, we have come to that season that there's going to be new strange but audacious voices. People forged and prepared by God himself. The church will no longer be referred to as mushroom centers. God is raising people that will change the narratives. Now see, sit down for a moment. You see, what God wants to do with you, even you won't believe it. Don't look at where you are, look from where you are. Okay, see, when I look at our people, I look at the choir, I look at people coming to do different things, I'm seeing nations. I'm seeing nations. I'm seeing the need for us to equip more, train more, send people to different nations. How can we have just one TV station? We can have 10. Ambience TV, Badon. Ambience TV, South Africa. Ambience TV, UK. And people rising to the occasion. Education and put— listen, putting out content to deal with the reality of their own environment, pushing out content. You know, some— there was something that came out and I did not speak as a researcher. I was angry and I felt we should not have been that dull, that, um, statistics came out that Nigeria was the poverty capital of world. Who now told us that the church was what constituted that? That's hasty generalization. How did we come to the conclusion that it is the church that make that number? The devil is trying to push a narrative to relegate believers And that's why I showed you on Sunday, God has not given you the spirit of bondage. He has not. Somebody's saying, if I can get a car— a car? Out of all the things that God wants to do that can require having a car in every city because of work, work. If I want to nail something and I have a hammer to nail it The armor is not testimony, it is tool for the job. That is the way we will treat money. Tool for the job. Simple tool for the job. We have and we recognize that it is for kingdom. Nobody needs to cajole anybody and say, if you have ₦500,000, come and drop it at my feet. Eh, no. We just have people who are enlightened. Who knows? Don't fall for the propaganda of the enemy. Don't fall for it. Lift your hand. Say, my eyes are enlightened. I see what God is preparing me for. Now let me ask you a question. Do you see yourself in God's end-time agenda? I didn't hear you well. Do you see yourself? Can you see your unique role?
Do you see what God is raising you for? Can you see it? Don't fall for the lies of the enemy. Don't fall for cheap propaganda. Be deep, be deep. Love God truly.
Don't be here for money.
Carry the burden of the kingdom.
So when you seek first the kingdom and his righteousness, all other things will come. All other things. I told God, bless me, I want to embarrass the devil with it. I want to shame what poverty has done in life of people. God punished the devil. You will have, oh, you will have, you will have, you will have. Now lift your hands as I wrap up. I receive the anointing with which I carry out my own part. I see it, I see it, I walk in it in the fullness of the grace, the fullness of the wisdom, the fullness of the wisdom.
I conceive it, I conceive it. I see it! I see it! In Jesus' Amen. We are praying.
Today is the day of salvation, and you know what that means. It is the day for you to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. God so loved you, he sent his only begotten Son to this world to die for your sins. There is no sin too big, nothing you have done that is beyond redemption. The hand of God is outstretched to you wide for you to accept him today into your life and end all that the devil is trying to do with your life. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, if any man be in Christ, a new creature, all things are passed away. And the Bible says all things are new. May I announce to you that all things can be new today. How do you give your life to Christ? Believe that Jesus is the Son of God sent to this world to die for your sins, and he rose on the third day for your justice. Justification. And today he's extending his hands to you to accept him as your Lord and Savior. And all you have to do is to hold out your hands and say these words after me. 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 rose on the third day for my justification. Today I accept you as my Lord and Savior, and I accept this gift of eternal life. In Jesus' name, amen. May I announce to you, you have made that decision, that there is so much joy in heaven right now. Angels are rejoicing, and there's so much joy. We have a contact on the screen and a barcode for you to scan if you have just made that decision, so that we will be able to reach you and help you get discipled and get you grounded in the rudiments of the gospel. I love you so much. We can't wait to see you again. Keep watching Ambience TV. God bless you.
