COP| FRIDAY SERVICE | SHEKINAH NATION

Femi Lazarus preaches on the anointing as spiritual inheritance passed through generations, using Jacob's blessings and Isaiah to explain how divine favor transfers like "new wine." He calls listeners to receive this heritage of power and activate it through prayer, fasting, and prophecy, with plans for an early-morning prayer conference the next day.
Chapters
has entered into their pure hearts. What's the little option to walk this fast? He shall receive blessings from his God and righteousness from the God of his salvation. This is the generation of those who are not tired. This is the generation of those who take the place. Oh Jacob, lift up your head. Oh, he— and let the King of Glory come. Who is this King of Glory? The Lord strong and mighty. Come on, child of God, do not be quiet. We are surrounded, we are not alone. King of Kings, Lord of Lords, King of Kings, Lord of Lords. My soul magnifies the Lord. My soul magnifies the Lord. Blessed are you, O Lord my God. How excellent is thy name. How beautiful are the works of your hands. He who dwells in light inapproachable, yet you called us into yourself. Blessed are you, Father. Oh, immortal, invincible. Evil was and is and is to come. Come on, child of God, if I were you, I will raise up my voices because you are surrounded by such a good number of witnesses. You are not alone, you are not alone. You are not completely untouched, you are completely touched of the best one. Hey, come on, come on, come on, come on. We raise up our voices until something erupts from the inside of us. You rain, you rain, you rain, you rain, oh Lord, you rain, you rain, you rain, you rain, you rain over this atmosphere. He will dwell in the midst of the cherubims. We hail the Lion! We hail the Lion of the tribe of Judah! God knows that. Jesus Christ, you are the Holy One. Hallelujah. God knows that. Jesus Christ, you are the Holy One. Hello! Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Let the earth know that there is one whose reign is from eternity to eternity. The God of the house of Israel. The God of the house of— Listen to that, Son of David. Listen to that, you of Jerusalem. Listen to that, Son of David. Yes, you are evidently immaculate, beautiful. I keep going and going, going and going. Wash up your hands. Blessed be God who teaches my hands to walk and my fingers to fight. If I were you, I would take my eyes off the stage and just set my gaze upon the one who was and is and is to come. Come on, we are surrounded. We are not alone. We are not alone. Raise up your voices wherever you are. Jesus. She turn this place. I behold Jesus. She turn this place. I see his angels, they are moving all around. I see the Spirit Mousta, King of Nations. Amen. This place, Lord, you are doing something fresh. Awakening supernaturally, Lord, your power standing in this place. Just minister, did you? Lord, you're doing something great. Shaddai, you manifest yourself. You are powerful, so powerful in this place. You are glorious. S— Can you just keep praying in the spirit?
Just stir up the waters. Just pray in the spirit. Just stir up the waters. Stir up the waters. Just pray in the spirit, no clapping while we invite God's servant. Keep praying, keep praying, keep praying.
Can we have the singers?
Just keep praying, keep praying, keep praying.
We bless your holy name, Jesus. We thank you. You are the Lord Strong and Mighty, Jehovah Sabaoth, the Commander-in-Chief of Heavenly Forces. The Lord of Hosts is your name, the Spirit of the Prophets.
We thank you.
We bless your holy name. We thank you. Blessed be your holy name. The wheel within the wheels, the I AM THAT I AM, the Lord of Hosts himself.
We thank you.
Blessed be your holy name. In Jesus' mighty name we have prayed. Hallelujah.
Amen.
Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. We give you praise, God, that in this meeting you will— we don't want you to pass We want you to sit like you sit on the sons of Levi, as the purifier of silver. So don't walk through, Lord, sit on us. In Jesus' mighty name we have prayed. Amen. Please be seated. Thank you, sirs. Am I just— you— are you still around?
Turn the strings. Thank you.
That's so much weight. There are very few ministers that ministers from the depth of their relationship with God. People have talent and gift. Abey knows God and he knows her too. So what you see there is not gift, it's the honor.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thank you for the difference that you make. And I want to really honor Minister Emeka. I was seeing online. Thank you, sir.
Thank you, sir.
And, um, the heat of Bournemouth. How do you give all these names? John Cena, the Hitman. Woman of God, so good to see you. Minister Samira, good to see you again. I want to honor all pastors here. Please help me give them a big hand. So we're going to assume that this is a closed-door meeting. So it means, as far as I'm concerned, the moment I drop the mic Whatever it is I've taught tonight will be pulled down from my own platforms so that your pastor takes responsibility for the outcome. Amen. And the reason is simple. Jesus gave a very clear instruction. He said, feed my lambs. And he said, feed my sheep. So Genesis chapter number 27. Have I honored your pastor? He's my friend, so Amen. So let me, let me say this. I announced to our people in church that I have come to to the end of the phase of itinerant ministry added with church ministry. So what that means is that my assignment is largely from where I am now to the rest of the world. So if you ever see my feet in Leicester Then it means he brought me, because when you close that door, there are people that you leave it for because of the depth of the covenant of relationship that you share. So it means himself and the Edo Bonmot. Please wave at the people, let them see you. We call him the John Cena. Amen. I love them so much. I love your pastor. He's my— he's a very good man. A very good man. Very good man. He's a good man. If God is not raising people like this, we will not rest. So it means we'll have to keep traveling, traveling. Traveling, traveling, traveling as God keeps raising. And by the way, I'm not going to address him as Pastor Collins but Apostle Collins, because the Lord told me that he will not be able to fulfill vital aspect of the calling until he has embraced the office. That's what God told me too, and I didn't want to be an apostle. So God will help you. Amen. Thank you, Lord. Genesis Genesis chapter number 27, verse 37. 3 and 7. Genesis 27, verses 37. Please pay attention to this conversation.
Conversation.
If you can get this teaching, then it is yours. Okay, please get it. You can get it, then it is yours. And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, behold, I have made him thy lord and all his brethren, have I given to him for servants, and with corn and wine have I sustained him. And what shall I do unto thee, my son? So this is what happened. You know the story. Isaac wanted to give that thing to Esau, contrary to what God said, that the one that he should place the blessing on is Jacob. Now, one of the things you must realize is that a human factor matters when it comes to transference, and God will align. Okay, I'm going to show you from scriptures. Um, so Isaac wanted to give his But somehow Jacob found his way. I think I need to explain what I just said. The blessing— or let me use the word— the anointing is so powerful that even the agenda of the devil on the earth cannot prosper in certain territory until an anointed agrees with him. Balak, as a sorcerer, could not curse them without Balaam. This is the reason why the more your weight, the more careful you you are, so that you don't give Esau cornel wine. Why do you think that even false prophets hang around genuine prophets? It is not just There is what the devil can give but can't sustain you in it. I'm in the wrong church. So the higher you go, the more the devil will try to make you cover his own too. So as your wings spread over correct eggs, the devil will try to smuggle his own too. Why do you think angels came from heaven and slept with the daughters of men? It is so that they can be captured in the reality of redemption. Ah, did angels come from heaven to sleep with daughters of men out of lust? You need human hormones to lust. The devil needed to add his own to salvation plan so that when Jesus Jesus eventually dies to save men. There's now mixture of hybrid men. Then through them it can be redeemed. The higher you go, if you want to last, lay hands suddenly on no man, because even the agenda of the devil can begin to succeed. It because you are quick to speak. Are you there? Lift your right hand, say, I have it. I have it. Look at what Jacob said, because look, this is what Isaac said. He said, I have made him him. Not God has made him, I have made him your Lord. One. And all his brethren have I, Femi Lazarus, given to him for servant with With corn and wine have I sustained him. So it means when it comes to— because the subject of this meeting is new wine— men can give wine. So I've said something. Now let's now break it down. Is that okay? He said, with corn and wine have I sustained him. So it means this particular wine is the wine that when you have, you are sustained. Now, this particular wine is not chamdor. I don't know if you drink chamdor here. Do you know chamdor? It's a very aggressive wine. When you want to pop it, it can shock you and disgrace you. And the wine is not alcoholic, it's as angry as the economy of Nigeria. Or Everwine. You know Everwine? This is not Everwine. You see, when you are dealing with those who know wine, there is something that makes wine priceless— the age. Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
You see people who drink wine, they are making reference to 1930-something wine. It is the ancientness of wine that makes it powerful. So when you say new wine It is just new dimension to an ancient flow. If you want to brew your own, it will not look like what has been flowing from the Everlasting Hills. It is passed from men to men. Now look at it, that same Genesis 27. Let's go to verse 27. Now speaking about, um, Jacob, now he came near him, kissed him, smelled the smell of his raiment, blessed him, and said, see the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the Lord has what? Blessed.
Yes.
Verse 28 now. Therefore God give you of the dew of heaven and the fatness of the earth. That's, that's what you are reading there in Isaiah 10:27 then, that by the reason of the anointing the yoke shall be destroyed. The word anointed is that word fatness.
Fatness.
In fact, some other texts will use the word prosperity, and I love the Young Literal Translation, YLT. He said the yoke will not be able to go around your neck because you have grown fat. So the fatness of the earth is actually that which makes the earth yield in its strength. Sent by the anointing. There are no fat lands, there are only men with fatness that stepped into dry lands. One of the things you must know as you function in the anointing is that you are no longer permitted to call anywhere greener pasture. You are the one who brings the freshness. You are the one. Why did Egypt escape the famine? Because Joseph was there. Just one among the seeds of Abraham, one was enough to suspend famine over a territory. One. Egypt was not the secret, Joseph was. And what was the secret of Joseph? The Lord made all that he did to prosper because the Lord was with him. So when he said here that the Lord give you, because this is, this is This is the component of the blessing. The dew of heaven. This dew brings more water than rain. It's noiseless. Let me give you an instance. Some of you may not be able to relate with what I want to say, okay? Some of you were born here, but I was— I grew up in northern part of Nigeria.
Femi Lazarus.
That's where I grew up. So in those days, and I'm talking about the '90s, early '90s— Gen Zs may not be able to relate to that— when we are traveling from Kano to the west. You pass through Niger, Jebba, Mokwa, all those places. Sometimes on the train you can spend, um, 2, 3 days then because of the kind of trains. There's this soup or stew that they used to make in our house. Femi Lazarus, when you want to go on such journey, it's the technology of that season. There's no device to warm it and it won't spoil. And the way you make that stew is that you demoisturize it, because bacteria needs humidity to replicate. Okay, I've done a lot of studies around bacteria and viruses, so they need humidity and the meat too spoiled too. All you have to buy for the trip is bread. How many of you know what I'm talking about? You can't relate? Eh, yeah, your train is here fast.
Chai!
I've been thinking, Lord, I be in Nigeria, let your will be done. The meats usually in such trip, they're always small, small meat.
Small.
But the moment you put it in your mouth, it expands. Because they were big meats that you demostrized and aged. They shrink. But when they get to your mouth, you start struggling with finishing them. It may be called dew, but it is more than showers. Just no noise, but the effect stays long on the earth. There are many spiritual things that are said in parable. For instance, in Isaiah 40, talk about, um, have you not known, have you not heard that the Everlasting God neither fainteth, neither is he weary, and there's no searching of his strength, and all that. He giveth power to the faint, to them that has no might he increaseth strength. Um, they that wait upon the Lord renew their strength. They began to list 3 categories of movement: walk, run, and which Which one? Mount up with wings. Which one is faster? The mount up with wings. But that's not true. The fastest is walk, cuz when you walk, it is at his pace. For you to run, you're out of alignment and you are trying to catch up. You should see it. Um, um, are you there?
Yes, sir.
Is it Matthew 11? My head just went blank. Um, the unforced Kingdom of Grace. Matthew 11:28, give me that scripture. Call unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I what? Read this in Message translation quickly. Media, help me. Do you have? Start downloading it now. Okay, you have. Are you tired, worn out, burned out on religion? Come to me, get away with me, and you will recover your life. I will show you how to take a real rest. Yes. Verse 29: Walk with me and work with me. Watch how I do it. Learn the unforced redeem of grace, I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Now, the work is not forceful, is unforced. Let me give you an instance. If you will come, my friend, please come. You are the one that was snapping the back of our head last year. Whenever I see you with camera, I get scared, I get worried. Just stay with prayer, okay?
Amen.
Wait, don't clap. I don't know why you are clapping. He's a prayer machine. Oh yes, amen. Now let's assume this is Mike Tyson. And this is an average young man on the street just challenging Mike Tyson. Have you seen? Now, I trained in boxing before a girl knocked me out. That shame has not allowed me go back to boxing since 2000 and I can't remember. Oh my God. So I just have my gloves and everything in the house now. So if you see an average civilian trying to fight, one of the things that, that comes with this level of cluelessness is that they swing mindlessly. Just swing. I'll beat you now. But if you see the one who knows the game. He's just smiling. Sometimes you just see these guys on the floor and you didn't even see when he punched him. What happened? Techniques. When they— when someone doesn't know how to punch, punches, the strength of his punch depends on his muscles. But if a real puncher punches. Where the strength is coming from is the leg. So when he moves, he's propelling energy from down up, and when he lands it, it's more than the hand. My God, it is unforced, but it is more forceful than the one who is forcing it. The rhythm of grace may look It's dangerous watching a man of grace do things, because if you learn from him doing it with ease, what you have not received grace for, you will attempt to do it with that level of ease till you discover that you don't have wine. Have you been satisfied? Have you been sustained? With wine and corn. So he said, learn the unforced. Don't go through life as one that is what, beating the air. So I've explained some things. Go back, thank you, to that Genesis 27:28. Now stay with me, okay? Verse 28. Now look at what they said quickly. 28: May God give you— no, give me in King James— of heaven's dew. Therefore God give thee of the dew from heaven and the fatness of the earth, and what plenty of what corn and That's the statement he said to Jacob. Who did he say should give him here?
God.
What did he now tell Esau? He said, I have given him. So how do we balance the both? I have obtained from the Lord and I give him. Or I have given him that which also I obtained. So it is not an attempt to give first, it is first the attempt to receive. And that's why in the kingdom identity is more important than actions. Let me explain. Being is more important than doing. If you become, you do effortlessly. Don't try to act anointed. Don't try to look anointed. Don't try to speak anointed. Be anointed. Don't try to— there's no techniques. There's no— this is the way anointed people work. Don't, don't, don't, don't Don't— no, you bring shame to yourself. Now pay very important attention. This is an elder talking here, okay? Many things happen, and events will later play out in Genesis chapter number 48. Genesis chapter number 48. Take me there. Let's start the reading from verse 1. And it came to pass after these things, they told Joseph his father, oh, see, go to verse 3. Now he took his children there. Yes. And Jacob said unto Joseph— now Joseph took his children to Jacob because Jacob was dying and he wanted Jacob to bless the children. So Jacob, in the place of blessing children, now began to speak. When you go to elders and say, bless me, and they are talking, never you feel God is against you. They might be showing you the secret of what you're about to receive. So Jacob began to And said, God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan and blessed me. Now he was quoting the event of his life. Yes, verse 4 now. And said unto me, behold, I will make thee fruitful and multiply thee and make thee a multitude your people, and I will give this land to thy seed after thee for an everlasting, what, possession. Verse 5: Now thy two sons Ephraim and Manasseh, which were born unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came— now when he's speaking here, there are two words predominantly that reference the anointing. One is oil, that, that is, um, metaphors. The other one is wine. When you start getting to the issue of fire, that's referencing power. So look at what is happening here. Now this is Jacob speaking here. He said, now thy two sons Ephraim and Manasseh, which were born unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came— he was speaking about the boys— before I came down of Egypt, are mine. Oh, you need to understand what he said. He looked at his children, he said, your two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, the one you gave birth to before I came, they are not your boys, they are mine. What that means is that when you as my son queue for inheritance, they won't queue behind you, they will queue with you. That's Jacob making it happen. Because you need to know that there is a level that a man legislates. Now look at this. Verse 6, now quickly. And thy issue, which thou— the ones you give birth to after them shall be yours and shall be called after the name of their brethren, inheritance. That is, their brothers, the one you give birth to. That's what— look at verse 7. And as for me— so he began to explain. When I came from Padan, Rachel died died by me in the land of Canaan. Now when you read this, you say, um, Jacob, I want you to bless these children. Why are you telling us about Rachel that died, um, in the land of— towards Canaan? What does the death of Rachel have to do with what is about to flow? It actually means it's because when the fathers speak The wine, what they are about to release, part of the things that have juiced out things in that level of concentration is also the pain that they endured. The cost of the oil is the olive. The process through which the oil comes out of the olive is the crushing. Crushing doesn't reduce men, it makes you more intense. So he was speaking about the death of— are you following what I'm saying here? Am I, am I really in the right place? Your pastor said it's a close meeting.
Hallelujah!
Because what we want to do in this meeting is to absorb So by next year, we spared the whole place.
So we are no longer giving our fish, we are taking to the river. Are you getting me now?
So stay with me. So he began to speak about the pain he's had to endure. You know, Rachel died on our way, and yet, um, when we're about Ephraim, I buried her there in the way to Ephrath, the same is Bethlehem. Yes, look at verse 8 quickly. Look at it. What's the next statement there? And Israel— you saw that there was a transition from Jacob to Israel, because whenever something is about to move, it is no longer Jacob but who? Israel. When he was done saying those things, and Israel beheld Joseph's son and said, who are these? Ah, Daddy, I brought them in without introducing them to you. You said by the Spirit that they are yours, and you began to explain things. Then suddenly you look at them again and said Who are these guys? It's not amnesia, it's wine. Now let me explain. God wants us to function in this dimension because once it comes on you, it wears you. You become another man in that function. That was what happened to Saul when he went to Ramah to kill David. Samuel didn't lay hands, he was just there in the company of prophets, but the real weight and influence of Samuel had covered the territory that the moment Saul sent people. They went there and prophesied, sent another, they prophesied, another they prophesied, and he went himself and prophesied naked. When you wake up from such encounter, the first question you ask is, where am I? You are going to begin to function in dimensions of the anointing that will wear you like a cloth.
Amen.
Sit down for a moment.
So what is—
then look at verse 9. And Joseph said— you see that Joseph didn't argue. He didn't say, ah, but you know the one was talking to him. People want what they don't have wisdom for. Years back, and I was just few days ago just open my phone to check his last pictures that I took. I went to see late Prophet Olowere. You may not know him, but there are people that it is important you know about them. They are testimonies of the fact that God walked through the earth and settled in some men. So we have been going there, you know, to see him. But the first time I went to that house, I noticed that I might not be in 1930, but the same anointing is here. I was hearing people praying down. The same, you know, when you see CAC clapping, all those stuffs and all that. Don't be like Mika that say, what are they doing? That's their own. Okay, so I got to the house and I knelt down, gave him money. He didn't collect. He said, do you own a bank? I said, said no. Are you the governor of the state? I said no. Are you? He said no. He said, hold your money. I found a way to leave the money somewhere around there. What I'm saying is that some of these people that carry this thing can be somewhat irrational. I went to meet him again. I said, Baba, we want to invite you. He said, we honor fathers every year, and I want to invite I want to honor you. He said, I'm tired, I won't come. Then he called me back, he said, how is he greet people? Talked. Then he told me, he said he will try. If he can come, he will come. If he won't come, he will send his son. No problem. I know that you don't even have to be there. It is what you carry. We want to honor the labors. So he didn't come, so he sent his son. And when the son took what we gave him home, he said the son should call me. Then he started lamenting on phone and said, ah, my son, I didn't know that what you were planning was this big.
Femi Lazarus.
Then he said, can you, um, put me through on video call to bless the people? I said, yes, sir. So we did so, and an anointing broke over the atmosphere. Why? Because he was speaking from his core. Something had been touched. So after we did that, the following day I went to his house to prostrate and thank him. Daddy, thank you for everything, this and all that. When he was about to die, they took him to a hospital.
To.
When they got to the hospital, he looked at all the nurses and said, none of these people should come near him. He said, nobody should come near him. Then he looked at one of them and said, you come, you are the only one I want to treat me, and I adopt you as my own. And the girl he's talking to is my spiritual daughter. So I told her, when he made that prayer, something rested. He recognized it when he came to the hospital. So when elders speak, they speak from a depth. Am I talking to to you. Okay, because I want us to learn wisdom. Look at what Jacob said. Quickly, stay with that scripture, just keep it there. And Joseph said unto his father, they are my sons whom God has given me in this place. And he said, bring them, I pray thee, unto me, and I will bless them. Yes, verse 10. Now, now the eyes of Israel were him for age, that he could not see. And he brought them near to his father and kissed them and embraced them. Quickly, yes. And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face, and lo, God has shown me also thy seed. Verse 12. And Joseph brought them from between his knees and bowed himself with his face to the earth. And Joseph took both Ephraim in his right, towards Israel's left, and Manasseh in his left towards Israel's right hand and brought them near unto him. Yes. And Israel stretched out his right hand and laid it on Ephraim's head, who was the younger, and his left on Manasseh. Guiding hands, wittily, for Manasseh was the firstborn. Yes. And he blessed them and said, God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did God which fed me all my life long until this day. Yes, the angel which redeemed me from Olive. Bless this lad and let my name be named on them, and the names of my fathers Abraham and Isaac. That's the reason why instead of having the tribe of Joseph, we have the tribe of Ephraim and Manasseh. They were not from the loins of Jacob, but because of his weight in the spirit realm, he could accommodate them into his inheritance. So what fathers give is inheritance that they have received. That's the— see, the, the difference between when a young man and an elder is blessing you is that the elder is giving you an inheritance, not just an anointing, but an inheritance, something ancient, something that has flowed from men to men and from men to men. Something that has withstood tribulation, something that has survived insults, something that has survived trouble, something that has seen death and has survived it. Something refined, something unusual. That's, that's the texture. When John was writing his epistle, he said, I write to you fathers because you know him that is from the beginning. The weight of the blessing of fatherhood is also enshrined in the experience. The anointing has survived what yours has not encountered. There is a level of darkness you will face, but this oil has survived it. And that's what we are learning. There might be new dimensions in terms of our dispensing, but it must be the oil flowing from the everlasting hills. I will share with him, Dr. Charles. There's a meeting that the Lord asked me to hold for 4 years now, and I procrastinate. I just, I just didn't find myself doing it yet till we moved to Abuja, and God didn't say a word. We had the first one, then we had the second one, and then God said The baton for this meeting has just been passed to you. I was in— let me leave that coded there— Redemption Camp in some years back. Baba was making Declarations, and I was illustrating about the anointing and transference, and he asked us to do something. But I went to that place hungry, famished, with tears. Lord, I cannot afford to approach the generation you are preparing me 4 empty. I understand that you are not a legal runner until somebody in the race hands over the baton to you. It depends on what kind of race you want to run, but my brothers and sisters, somebody must give you There are a class of activities that are not within the general space. This one, wait till you receive. You must be fortunate to find yourself in a space, either one-on-one or as a group, where there is an active communication with intentionality that from what we have found— take, sir, sir. It must happen. This one, and I'm saying this because it is this year, you must one way or the other— God will not bypass those who run with it to jump without their protocol and give you. You must see, it may now be that you are watching them with a level of intentionality. Reality. And in the midst of it, a word came.
This day I will redeem the whole soul. But I tell you that there are certain things you will not be able to withstand until what? You are killed.
Now sit for a moment, because Elisha asked Elijah— Elijah asked Elijah, he said, ask me, what do you want me to do for you before I go? Before I go, he said, give me Double portion. Double portion is not twice as much. Double portion is firstborn portion. Yes, when you give everyone certain portion, you give the firstborn worthy portion. There is something called the firstborn oil. In Psalms 89, he said to David, I'll make you my firstborn. That is, if the one carrying the firstborn oil is the one who opens the womb so others can come. There are wombs of territory, there are wombs of families, there are wombs of nations, there are wombs of environment. The firstborn is the one that carries the oil to break it, and that oil is called the breaker. Because that oil also comes with tribulation. He's going to have to do things that I know he faces from.
He will have to fast more than the rest. He will have to labor more than the rest. When I send saints from his comfort, they can be comforted.
Are you still here? Stay with me. So he said I want double portion. What did Elijah say? Elijah said, is a hard thing, but if you can see me when I'm taking it. So the Bible said, as they two went, um, come, Femi Lazarus, they were going and suddenly there was a separation of the boy from the man and the chariot chariot took Elijah, and Elisha saw him. And now he didn't call him my master, he didn't call him Elijah, he said my father, my father. Listen, the chariot of Israel and the horsemen thereof. So he noticed, he saw the burden of his anointing. There was an anointing that took him on a lonely road, the chariot and the horsemen. And then the mantle fell from Elijah and Elisha picked it. When he got to Jordan, Jordan parted Femi Lazarus said, where is the Lord God of Elijah? And he struck Jordan, and Jordan parted. But he had seen Elijah do that where the sons of the prophet didn't see. Because the most difficult thing to do as an anointed person is to show men Show him. It's difficult because it is painful on the part of the one whom you are showing. Show men your burden. Show men— I mean, for even for Jesus, it was lonely in the Garden of Gethsemane when he cried and his tears became blood. He was wondering, why can't you just watch for an hour? Because the pathway of the anointing is largely lonely. Except them. It is. You have burnings that can't be communicated into words. You have things that you cannot explain. You have things that God wants to do that even you— it is just a weight in your heart. You, you, you've not been able to interpret it in the exact words, but I know there is something, something. Listen, sometimes it will be like that till God allow you encounter those who have passed through that journey, broke through. It's like Elizabeth and Mary meeting. There's an ignition.
The Bible will leap. That's why we have matters like this, because we come here with certain kind of prejudices and God allow a sudden pulse and there will be an explosion inside.
Joy calls for it because the journey doesn't have to be lonely anymore. The consolation of certain anointing is to see that you are many, that there are men. Look at it. Sit for a moment. The angel which redeemed me from all evil. Bless the lads and let my name be named on them. Fathers have names to give. Oh yes, and that's not just about the son name. There are 3 levels of dominion. One is power, the ability to make things be. The second is authority to call things into existence. The third is name. Christ obtained a name above all names, that at the mention of that name all knees shall bow. Why is it that when God met Moses in Exodus 3, he introduced himself as the God of Abraham? He said, I'm the of your father Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. There's been many men before you go to Moses. Why did you only mention Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob? What you're about to do now, that's where it is flowing from. So I'm calling their names not for name dropping, because what you're about to do, you— there's something flowing from them that you are now the next in line for it. It is that say, such as I have. Because what makes an elder an elder is the possession, what you have acquired, the weight you have gathered, what you have, what you have with God, what, what you have learned on him, what has made you heavy. It is not by your age, but by— do you know what I'm saying? The weight of your experience, the quality of your journey. So, but look at what he said in verse 3 of this Genesis 48. Look at what he said in verse 3. He said, and Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan and blessed me. You know what he's referencing here. Genesis 32. What you heard is that he wrestled with an angel, but he's saying it was the Lord. That's what he's saying. Now hold on a minute. That night when he stood in that lonely land, he avoided that wall. Can they help me with that scripture? Because the word there is that as soon as Joseph— um, Jacob was left alone, he needed to be alone for that thing to materialize. He needed— as, as he was there, and you read the angel of the Lord, are you there? Let me read it for you in my Bible. All right, stay with me, stay with me, stay with me. Turn your Bibles there, Genesis chapter number 32. Let's start reading from Verse 24, Genesis 32. And Jacob was left alone, and there wrestled a man until the breaking of the day. And when he saw that he prevailed not against him. He touched the olu of his thigh, and the olu of Jacob's thigh was out of joint as he wrestled with him. And he said, let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go unless thou bless me. And he said, what is your name? Then he said, Jacob. He said, yes, you are Jacob. Your name shall be called— shall no more be called Jacob, but Israel. No more Jacob, but Israel. What's the next statement? Loud and clear. You are now a prince, and now you have power both with God and with men. If you read, look at scriptures like Genesis chapter number 45. I'm taking you somewhere. Let me show I'm going to show you Genesis 45. Look at it. It was after this experience that they took Joseph from him, and for several years he thought Joseph was dead. And him being a prophet, God did not tell him that Joseph was alive. God kept quiet.
Why?
Let me show you a text. Genesis 45. So this was when they saw Joseph and they brought a word for him. And verse— let's start from verse 26. Genesis 45:26. And they told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive and he is the governor of all the land of Egypt. And whose heart? Jacob's heart. So meaning that after the encounter that changed Joseph— Jacob to Israel, life took Israel back to Jacob. And Jacob's heart fainted, for he believed them not. Yes, quickly, 27. And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he has said unto them. And when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of who? Jacob, their father, revived. Yes, the next verse. And Israel said, it is enough. You know why I showed you this? When Absalom rebelled against David, David was wrong, but that will still not make it the sure mercy of Absalom. There are certain There are certain things that when God puts it with a man, it is an entrustment. He puts it there and he seals it there, and he does it in his mercy and lock it there. What I want us to press into is the dimension that God lives with men. Listen, listen, listen, please stay with me. That even in life's bad situation, it may look like Israel is no longer Israel. It may look like Israel is Jacob and the idea of Israel is gone for life until there is a stirring. Once there is a stirring, the ashes of Jacob is blown off and Israel will always speak. That dimension exists. The fathers know it. That's the reason why if you come for any one of them in their circle, they don't allow you just talk any one of them down, because they know it is not easy to have men of that stature.
Yes, sir.
If you go to camps where they train soldiers, if you kill an elite soldier, they come for you, because they know what it takes to have this kind. Uh, even God knows what it takes to have some kind of sons. And when he puts that thing in your hands, that's— that becomes what you can now pass from generation to generation. On the strength of that, you can no longer appear anywhere empty. You have now entered the class of men who has corn and wine to sustain the next generation with. There are things I got through impartation, but there are things I got through consecration. There are instances in my life that I did— it don't even occur to me that God is watching— and I did something, or I made a vow before the Lord, and the Lord said to me, on the basis of this, I have made you amongst the men whose voice will raise and sustain the next generation. One is different from influence. Influence is one, longevity is another.
You will not know—
please help them— that there are things that can come added to what I'm saying. You have some measure, you have received certain things, but you won't know. It is not on display. You don't see. Listen, the core things that God equips sons with. There's no advertisement for them. You will not even know that they exist. It is a product of a transaction between you and God. As you walk some steps further, then God now says, on the basis of the work of love, I am showing you that this kind that you were not even praying for because you didn't know exist, I have given you a voice. But now I'm make the voice strong. Because you may think having the voice is it.
No.
Then God now says, beyond having a voice, there is now a level where the voice will do something on the earth, and I have given you. I have come tonight with the weight of what has been passed on from generations to 2 generations, that if we will— you know, I was in my office preparing for the Holy Ghost Experience. That was day before yesterday. And I kept looking to my right. The people there must have thought that maybe he's seeing something, maybe cobwebs. I don't have cobwebs in my office, but I was seeing an angel stand there, and it was so tall that he was doing like this. I remember the last time I noticed the presence of this angel was when God gave me an assignment, and I— that was— it was in the middle of it I saw that angel last, that particular one. And the Lord said to me then, that's the angel of my jealousy. Anyone comes near you, they die. I'm trying to show you that this thing is not fluke. When Jacob called those guys that day, he was introducing them to the weight of his encounters. That's what has made him robust. If you will submit yourself under the hand of God, you will have what to give to the next generation. Your weight will not be in noise. At a certain point in my life, because this thing is as we walk, God told me that this day have I placed my hands upon your life, that no matter how dead an atmosphere is, when you step in, I will show up. So the very powerful thing about these dimensions is that in a meeting where they are mentioned, those who have been praying for that kind can plug in. Because God is not just putting things on display so that you can know about them. He's putting— he's making them obvious as an inheritance. Because I sense strongly in my spirit that there are callings that can't wait anymore, and there is a need for the relevant impartation generation to meet the relevant head. So that when you stand interfacing with the next generation, you can now say, 'Such as I have received.' And you can trace that at certain points of your life, you stood in certain place and God placed certain things on your life that won't go anymore.
Femi Lazarus.
Um, you know, the difference between the anointing and power is that the anointing makes things happen, but once you enter the realm of power, you will know that something has been added. I'm I'm telling you, you— once you enter the realm of power, you— it will feel like a garment. Yes, you will, you will know when your weight increase, and you will know if you are light. What I'm introducing you to tonight is power. You shall receive power after the Holy Ghost has come upon you. You'll be a witness in Jerusalem, in Samaria, and Judea, even to the uttermost part of the world. The Lord is sending many of you to interface with a very dark world, and he's not having you go as others have gone. He's sustaining you with corn and new wine, that when you stand to speak Heaven will attest that this is mine. So I'm asking, Lord, that you will satisfy tonight. Please, ushers, help me. Men and women with tangible release of wine, sustain them with it for the journey. The reason why this is going to be intense is because we are dealing with power, so it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's serious. Um, lift your hands everyone where you stand. Is there anyone here who wants to be in active duty with God? Because there are no more common bread. What we have is hallowed bread. There is something flowing from the everlasting hills. Look at the blessing. Put your hands down. Look at what Moses— that's another dangerous human being— in Deuteronomy 33, look at what he said to this same Joseph. Deuteronomy 33, I want you Femi Lazarus, you want to give me that scripture in Message translation? Recently I went back to White Wall on OU campus where I used to pray, and I laid down on that concrete floor where I used to pray, and I was feeling— you know, God honors meeting places.
Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
Yes, sir. He honors places of covenant. Yes, sir. There are places I have lived. I lived in a house house in Ibadan, and somebody came to move into the house. When he entered the bedroom, he ran out and asked the agent, who just packed out of this place? So they said that was Femi Lazarus. He screamed, said, I felt it.
Why?
When dimension are piped open in places, the scent of it remains, hoping that somebody who knows the scent of the oil will stumble on it. Look at what Moses said. You know, when Jacob cursed Reuben, he said Reuben will not excel. What Moses said. Look at, look at the statement of Moses. That's not where I'm coming. Look at what he said in verse 6. Deuteronomy 33:6. Verse 6, he said, let Reuben live. Eje kowa layi. Let him— wait— efile. Allow him live. That is, whatever force that has been killing them, let him live and not die. Let his men not be few.
What?
That's weight. And the reason why you must press for this dimension is so that one day, so emergency will not come knocking your door and you're a father who has nothing to offer, or a mother who has nothing to give. You can't say on the strength of the walk I have with God. Do you understand what I'm saying? But this is where I'm going. Look at it. Genesis 33 from verse 13. Gen— sorry, Deuteronomy 33 from verse 13.
Where's my key?
I don't know my key, but I move a bunch of keys. Stay on C. And of Joseph he said, blessed of the Lord be his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth beneath. Look at verse 14. For the precious fruit brought forth by the sun, the precious things put forth by the moon.
Yes.
Verse 15. And for the chief things of ancient mountains, for the precious things of everlasting hills.
Yes.
16. For the precious things of the earth and the fullness thereof, and for the goodwill of him that dwelt in the bush. Let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph and upon the top of the head of him separated from his brethren. That's consecration. Now go to verse 13 now and read from Message translation. Message: Joseph, blessed by God, be his land, the best fresh dew from high heaven and fountain springing from the depths yes, the best radiance streaming from the sun, the best the moon has to offer. 15. Beauty pouring off the top of the mountains and the best of the everlasting hills. 16. The best of earth's exuberant gifts, the smile of the burning bush dweller. All this on the head of Joseph, on the bow— brow of the consecrated one among his brothers. One of the first things this does is that it separates you. And I, I don't know if there are people here whose core hunger is that there's something they must receive to pass on when the time comes. You do duty with it, then you pass it on. The atmosphere is heavy. The Lord is set for the release, and many are already receiving. But tonight you will put on the garment of power. Even those of you who are in music ministry, it will not just be sounds, it will be flowing from the throne stone itself. In Genesis chapter number 5, John heard them sing a song that was copyrighted and patented to Moses. He said, I heard them sing the songs of Moses. So I ask, Lord, there is something flowing from the everlasting hills. That makes a man as witty as a nation. There's something flowing from the ancient mountains that makes one man hold nations to ransom. I ask that all this on the heads of your children. Let the one wine that is passed from generation to generation. Let it flow in this direction tonight, that—
listen—
they will not do ministry or life's assignment at the level of the crowd. But today you become a among the cult aside. There is the general anointing, but there is a specific one. There is the one that you trace only to lineage of power. Let it come on your head. Bathe them with it. Clothe them with it. Soak them in it. Let them know what it means to put on power, that they will do life with power, they will speak with power, they will think with power, they will enter territories with power, they will sing with power. They will play instruments with power. They will pipe new sounds with power.
That they come into the category of men who wields it, those who carry the ancient oil to pass it on.
That when you you speak, it will be the Lord backing you up. That lineage will no longer lack men. The Lord is raising you as the rebuilder of broken walls, the repairer of bridges, the repairer of bridges, the rebuilder of walls. Femi Lazarus is placing on you the oil and the grace and the empowerment. That which has waited from generations to generation that has not been able to rest on anyone finds you here tonight. Finds you here tonight. Something has been released. You person, take it in. 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.
Fly on a rock. Eagles fly. Amen. Amen.
Look up. Let me try and put this into words. One time I was trying to— because The closer you are with me, the more it occurs to you how very few my words are. So when people ask me questions, I mostly tell them, just observe me. The ones I can answer, I answer. But one time, one of our pastors was asking me a question. It was more like he was asking why couldn't we do certain things. So I told him that even in ministry, there is general anointing, being anointed as a child of God, and you can do ministry with that for years and have a measure of result. But there are textures of anointings that is separate. So I said, go and ask God for that. So I said, separate yourself in fasting. That one that is is separate. That's my burden for you. Until you have that one, if you get to territories, even God can't count on you because you just do it. And it is the intensity of the anointing that determines what you see. You will not see coldness where you should see it. You think all is well. You are anointed to a measure, but the work on ground is such that demands that if we have one person in a territory, it is enough that God can say, I know this one will command the territory after me. What gives men that depth of intensity is this one. Not the general one. The disciples didn't turn the world upside down with the general one. They had to go and tarry, because once this one wears you, it's like wine, it intoxicates you. This one wears you like a garment. Because I'm about to share this, and the reason I want to to share this because of those of you that are here. It's a covenant I have with God for those who are in the prophetic. Bob Jones went to minister somewhere. You know, Bob Jones was a prophet before he died. The night Bob Jones died, Femi Lazarus died. When they brought him to the hospital, the doctor didn't want to treat him because the doctor didn't like all those charismatic prophets. So he just said, okay, the nurse should be attentive. If there's an emergency, they should call him. It was during winter, around 11:00 AM. The doctor's office has security code. He started hearing someone press the code, and only him knows the code. Even the nurse doesn't know the code. And he was waiting there, ah, what effrontery, won't you knock or call? And then he saw that the door opened. Guess who opened the code? Bob Jones. One minute he was on drip, now he's the one opening the code of the doctor to talk to him. And he sat, he told the doctor Go sit down. And he downloaded his life to him in a moment and told him to write. Now, this is the funny thing. What— this story is documented. When the doctor was done writing, Bob Jones prayed for him, and it was like he passed out, only for him to wake up and saw that it was a dream. But guess what? The note he wrote was on his table, and he wrote that note in Aramaic language that even him couldn't read. They had to take the note to some rabbi to interpret. Then he woke up and saw that— I think it was few minutes past 12— and as he ran out to Bob Jones' room. They told him they were just packing Bob Jones, who had just died. That was how Bob Jones exited the earth. The Bible said men in whom the world was not worthy of. So it was Bob Jones that was ministering somewhere Because this wine dimension, you don't direct it, it directs you. That's the difference. The anointing will move you. And Bob Jones began to, as he was praying, was speaking macaroni and cheese, macaroni and cheese. And they gave him notes to round up. Macaroni and cheese, what nonsense. But he was prophesying. They didn't know a woman was in that meeting whose son was sick, and she had told God, speak to me in a way only me and you will understand. So he was calling the boy's best food. That's a prophet in the capacity of a prophet. There are some of you who have the prophetic and speaks once in a while when it moves within you, but there is the garment of the prophet. This one wears you. It can be in songs, and words begin to— and you begin to wonder, am I the one speaking this? What's going on? Begin to come out as flood of waters. So I ask that I want those who are called to the office of prophets, either as prophetic ministers angels, as seers, whatever category of— as prophetic intercessors that are right here in this room. There is a garment of the prophet that I wear. I want the Lord to place the garment of prophets on them at the count of 3. 1, 2, 3. Touch them. Touch across from the Ear to the back, everywhere, everywhere. Help them, help them. Let it gush out amongst them that these ones— because one of the ministries that the enemy has so attacked is the office of the prophets. So we're in the days that God is raising genuine ones who will be wonder us to the world. Another very powerful dimension that we need to confront the darkness of our world is the apostolic. That's the dimension that mirrors authority. Search them out, Lord. Search them out. Let the authority of the Apostles, such that will be the signature of God on your life that won't go away.
No matter how hard you try, it won't go.
Let such signage rest upon men here. Let those whose fire has been going down be rekindled. Let men arise in the consciousness of the oil. From this moment, you will no longer do life without weight. The weight of the Spirit will be strong. I would have just— just leave them right there. Just leave them right there. I would have wanted us to have some practicals, but I know in the next coming days we're going to have long Holy Ghost meetings because that's exactly I was going to call for tongues and interpretations. Oh yes, people will come in the spirit of that. Oh yes, that's a clear word from the Lord coming. Interpreters will rise from here too.
Oh yes, oh yes.
Oh yes, oh yes. Then let the gift of prophecy also follow. Those who are given that gift of prophecy, let it follow. Oh yes. We give you praise. From tonight, you will also have what to pass on. And it will be strong.
Can we lift up our hands and just praise him?
Do something with me, oh. Take this heart and make it yours. Do something to me, do something with me, oh. Take this and make it yours. Do something to me, do something in me. Take this heart and make—
I'm going to Minister Abi, we're going to raise this sound. Something has dropped. Let's just stare at it in seconds.
Take this heart and make it yours.
Just pray in the spirit.
Do something to me.
Avokai.
Do something with me. Take this heart and make it yours.
Hey! Aya aya aya aya aya aya aya. And make it Do something to me.
Do something to me.
Take this heart. Take this heart.
Do something to me.
Do something to me. Take this heart, make it yours. Do something to me, do something with me.
Is that the Crawford generation?
Take this heart, take this life, take this skill, do something to me. Yeah, shake this house. Make it yours. Sankaya! Do something to me! Do something to me! Do something to me! Do something with me. Do something with me.
This is my desire.
This is my desire, Lord. This is my desire. I cry out. I I cry out, I cry out, I cry out, I cry out. So my soul, open up to me, oh. This is my desire. Can you begin to pray in the Holy Ghost?
Your feet is being dipped in oil.
Asha. Father, we thank you. Thank you, Father. Thank you.
Our lives can never remain the same again. My life can never remain the same again.
Hallelujah!
I think after this conference you should go for a retreat. I will just say some things and then we'll close. I have seen Apostle minister like this once in the Blue Moon. What came today— I'll say some things and about him, we know no man after the flesh. I would say the ones that will benefit you. I'm going to reveal other ones because you don't want to educate the enemy of our own. But I will say the one that will benefit you. Two things. If you see Apostle in the spirit, he has gray hair.
Sela.
Number 2 is that there are Kairos seasons and there are Kairos men. What Kairos men come to do is that they can collapse your time and give you now. This is one amongst us. Now your life can't remain the same again. I'm glad for what I'm seeing. I cannot— you have been implicated. Can't remain the same again. Glory to God! If this is the first night, imagine what happens tomorrow. Um, please, one of the things I want you to do from the depth of your heart, um, first of all, tomorrow, anytime any of the ministers are ministering, please, I want you to host honor in your heart. Do you get what I said? Teaching you how to receive. Do what? Host honor. Where? In your heart. Please, can we celebrate God's servant? Can we celebrate Minister Abey? Minister Emeka? Glory to God. Hallelujah. Amen. So we just quickly give to the Lord and then we'll call it an evening. Um, tomorrow morning I feel we should pray. Let's just sit down a bit and just give to the Lord. Let's just sit down. Tomorrow morning we're going to start a lot earlier than proposed. Amen. I don't know if you can see it from there. Praise the Lord. Let me just have your attention for a minute. So tomorrow we're going to start a lot earlier because I want us to pray. It's a prayer meeting, amen. It's a prayer conference. Um, the heat is around, the heat is around, so we're going to pray from 9 to 10 AM, 1 hour stretch. Is that okay? Please. So workers, well done. You guys have done well. For grace comes upon you. Well done, workers. So we just try and come early so we
