CHRISTMAS CAROL AND STEWARDS APPRECIATION AWARD/DINNER || 19TH DECEMBER 2025

Oh my goodness, did you see this presentation? This is mind-blowing! Oh my God, everyone, please let's celebrate what we just saw! Please make it louder, please make it louder! Make it louder because this is for the global stage. This is like global cinema. Like, I'm telling you, we saw everything beyond what we even expected.

It was amazing.

Super amazing. There was no scene that was telling the story of the next. Every scene was exceptional.

Yes.

You know, in the beginning we're asking ourselves, what should we expect from Crystal Army and Streams of Life combo? We could not figure out something to expect.

And genuinely, this beats our imaginations.

Amazing. Thank you so much.

God bless you, Crystal Army. Please celebrate them one more time again. Amazing. All right, so quick announcement before we introduce something else. Everyone, please take caution of your phones. Hold your phone, your gadget, your bag, because we want you to be responsible. Yes, for your own security. All right, let's don't have anything, and let's look out for each other, please. Yeah, Enlight Nation, nothing stolen. Yes, nothing broken, nothing missing. All right, so we have something that everybody saw growing up— the gifting in children. Ah, my God, every child at every point in time always expressed the gifting they were born with. Yes, Zeech, you had yours coming up when you were growing.

Yes, I did.

Yeah, because our Creator God always impute a message into every child that they go into the world and express those gifts. Honestly.

And tonight, yes, we have the Light Children with us.

They will be expressing their own gifting and it will bless someone tonight. Please let's celebrate our children as they express to us the gifting and the message that they have for us. From God. Celebrate them, please. Thank you so much. Hello, Father Christmas.

Hi, Father Christmas.

Hello.

It's a wrap for me.

A huge wrap.

A very great one.

All right, here you go with the mic.

Where else is going the mic?

Hello everyone, my name is Nathan. Hello everyone, my name is Rejoice and we're from the children department. Rejoice, what does Christmas mean to you? To me, Christmas means eating rice, jollof rice, chicken, pepper soup. And of course wearing my Christmas shoe with my dress. And of course Santa is coming bringing a lot of gifts. So fun! No, no, no, no, no! As Light Nation kids, that's not what Christmas means to us. As Light Nation kids, Christmas means when the children of God come together to celebrate the birth of Jesus and reflect on His holiness. Oh, thank you for enlightening me, Nathan. Please watch and enjoy.

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way. Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh. Hey! Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way. Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh. Now the ground is white, go it while you're young. Take the girls tonight, sing this sleighing song. Get up off the hay, to Fuzzy Forest's feet, and hitch him to an open sleigh, and who will take the lead? Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way! Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh. Hey! Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way! Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh. Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.

Let's celebrate our children. Please celebrate them. Please, if you're gonna scream, scream!

Make some noise like Nation Abuja!

Amazing. You're a gentle—

I am.

How do you think I got married successfully?

Men should come for training. I mean, men should come for training. Yeah, he's a gentle man.

No, don't say men, say single men.

Okay, the single men should come for training because he did something here. He was conscious.

That's okay, that's okay, okay, don't sell my market. There's no need.

All right, thank you.

Thank you.

Good evening, Light Nation Abuja. It's such an honor to stand before you. Thank you so much, Apostle, for this wonderful privilege. Thank you, our mommy in the house, Pastor Mimi. It's such an honor to be here. And I want to say this before we go ahead. Sir and Ma, if it wasn't for your ministry, I'll be doing something rather smaller right now. Thank you so much.

Many of us would have been lost, maybe lost, lost behind.

I can't argue that.

All right, so we said something earlier that one day a name will be called and you will walk down the aisle and receive your reward, appreciation. We're going to that segment right now that many people have been selflessly serving in the house of the Lord. You've been doing amazing as well, right?

I don't know about that. Don't set me up. Don't set me up.

Okay, so we're going to that segment where people have been working quietly, silently, and God have been seeing everybody. But of course, also in Light Nation, we also have the culture of honoring people.

Of course, especially people who have served with their hearts served genuinely, we served with understanding and wisdom. It takes a lot of wisdom to be a faithful servant. If you've been following our father's messages, you know that there are services and there are services. So tonight, the people that will be honored are people who have followed instructions, served selflessly, and of course served in the right place that God has placed them. Like the Bible says, let every man dwell in the ministry wherein he is called. All right, so a round of applause already for everybody who is going to win something, who is going to be awarded.

Please, a round of applause.

You don't know if it's going to be you.

They don't even think it's going to be them.

Can you clap like you are sure?

You know what we're going to do if they don't appreciate enough? We'll just keep calling our names and take all the awards. You know how that works, right?

Yes, yes, yes.

All right, without any further ado, we're going to, um, with reverence, welcome our resident pastor, our own very resident pastor, very resident pastors. Abuja, you know how to do this right.

You know how to do this right. Make some noise as we honor and welcome Femi Lazarus and of course his beautiful wife Pastor Grace.

And to the enigmatic PT and his dear wife, thank you, thank you. Wow, you know, I sat down there and I was just thinking, ariyet atso At some point, this ministry was supposed to be homeless this year. Not only has God covered us, he has doubled us. Indeed, he's shown to us that his mercy preserves, um, you know, um This year is quite a typical one. We've had moments we danced, we've had moments we've cried, we've had moments we were confused, we've had moments that the storm was fierce, but through it all we are here and God has kept us. Let's give that God a big, big hand. I want to specifically thank God for the leadership of this house, uh, ministers across board. Let's give them a big, big thank you. I want to say this: in my 17 years of ministry And I'm not joking about that. You guys are the most complete set of people I've worked with.

Follow-up Department, Welfare Department, Pastor's Protocols, and this set of guys. Yeah, actually I'm not done, but okay, let's celebrate the Christos Army. They give us an amazing drama presentation tonight. And, um, sometimes we overlook this department, but if something goes wrong with it, everything is wrong with the future. Children Department. And these other guys that sometimes we just walk past them outside, they are always in the sun whether we are preaching, dancing, singing. Wow, the Marshall Department. No, we need to celebrate them much more. The Lord has given us a word ahead of 2026, and by this time next year we're going to be a lot more bigger. Last year we're not this big, and this year we are bigger. Next year will even more be bigger. I didn't hear amen to that. I want to especially thank God for my wife. She is God's best gift to me after salvation, and for the unwavering support despite the storms.

Thank you.

Yes, sir.

Towards 2026, we are going to pray even more. How many of you agree with me? We have to pray even more, dig into the word even more. Thank God for the Femi Lazarus Digital Library that is now released. So now you can go on Play Store or App Store and have access to the library. And particularly those of you who missed like night camp. Be the ones to shout hallelujah! Shout it louder! Don't be proud of yourself.

Can I say this also? There are people who are still standing now but will have to go before the year ends. You will not be among them. If Jesus tarries to come by 2026, 6, your remembrance will not be in the grave. We will not have any reason to wait a minute of silence for you. For those who are traveling, every path you take is blessed. The redeemed of the Lord shall doubtlessly return. As you go out, you will return. Peace upon your house, peace upon your family, peace upon your business, peace upon everything that you do. In Jesus' mighty name we pray. Hallelujah.

Amen.

Um, I think by, by Sunday we are going to be here with, um, 500 in-house, 500 outside. Bags of rice for— yes, and other things, chicken, oil. For any farm, there should be— there should never be a reason why any family should have lack amongst us. Amen. So everything needed to have a good celebration will be available on Sunday. All you have to do is go right there, pick yours, And for those of us who can afford much more, make sure you're a blessing to someone. Is that okay? The Lord bless and keep you in Jesus' name. Thank you so much.

Please celebrate yourselves. You have made the work easy. You have made us have provisions to be able to do the things that we are doing. And as you do this much more in 2026, you will never know lack in the name of Jesus. To all our stewards, we love you. You, and there is nothing you can do about it. All right, come rise on our feet this moment as we take our affirmations together as a family. Now it's a good time to bring out your mobile devices, put on your cameras, make sure you capture yourself with a cluster of people as we affirm together. I'm gonna give us time to get ready. We're going to do it with energy and with joy and with gladness.

Are we ready? Ask your neighbor, are you ready?

What's the person saying?

All right, 1, 2, go!

We are Light Nation, an atmosphere of God's influence. We love effortlessly, we sacrifice selflessly, and pray earnestly.

We are a people of great faith, strong vision, and excellent spirit.

We are the epicenter of God's praise upon the earth. We have a lifestyle that is consistent with the authority of scriptures.

We believe when the Lord said to us that we are a city in every city. This is the house of pruning, forging, and making of giants. The shout of a king And what do we do? Come on, give the Lord a shout of praise! God bless you.

Good night.
