DAY 12 || 21 DAYS PRAYER AND FASTING || 22ND JANUARY 2024

Come and raise an incense of worship. I love this song so much. It says— Ade, ade, ade, ade.

Awesome!

Come on, raise an incense of worship. I love this song so much.

It say Amen, amen.

Good to see you always. Thank you, Lord.

So excited, so excited, so excited to see such another time in God's presence. Um, a moment we will never forget. Amen. Can we go ahead and just give God praise? Let's, let's bless his holy name. Let's honor him because he deserves all glory. He deserves all honor. He deserves all adoration. There's, there's absolutely none like him. Let's, let's bless him from the depth of our heart and let's give him praise because there's none like him. There's none like you, Lord. There's none like you, Lord. Oh, let's give him praise. Let's give him praise. Let's give him praise. Let's give him praise. Praise because he deserves it. He deserves it. He deserves it. And we thank you, Lord. We thank you, Lord. Oh, come on, let's, let's honor him. Let's honor him. This year is a year like no other, and that's the reason why God, you know, has been giving you close marking like never before. For. It is a Kairos moment for you. Amen. It is a Kairos moment for you. So let's thank God for this Kairos moment, this opportunity to, to partake in his presence, to wait upon him. Come on, let's bless him. It deserves all the praise, it deserves all the glory, it deserves all the honor. Thank you, Lord. In Jesus' mighty name we are praying. Now this morning while we're praying, we read the book of 1 Samuel chapter number 17. Very, very interesting scripture. All right, 1 Samuel chapter number 17. And guess what?

We are not done.

We are not done.

You see, this is what I see.

I see that the Lord has prepared great things for you.

I see that there is a lot waiting for you at strategic moment that you don't even have an idea of.

And some of those things are things that probably you have not built the capacity in your mind to conceive it. You see that now? It is possible if we don't pray well that you come to that season that God has appointed for certain things to happen happen, and you cannot discern your season, probably out of fear. You see, God visited the Israelites earlier than the 400 years prophesied, but they could not discern their season, and they had 40 years extra. 40 years extra of struggles, 40 years of labor.

I decree your time will not be elongated in the wilderness. I didn't hear amen loud and clear. In the name of Jesus. You'll find help. Can I, can I, can I give us some 2 minutes wherever you are? Some of you are driving back from work, some of you are listening on your way. Come on, decree and declare: this year is my strategic year to step into my high places. This year is that, is that year that was prophesied about. It is the year of many years. It is the year of many years.

It is my strategic year. You are trusting God for the fruit of the womb. It is your strategic year. You are trusting God for your own mate. It is your strategic year. Come on! The spirit of faith is a speaking spirit. The spirit of faith is a speaking spirit. We have this same spirit of faith. We hear, therefore we speak. The spirit of faith is a speaking spirit. Don't join them to call conspiracy what men call conspiracy. This year is my strategic year to step into all that God has prepared for for me, to enter into all that God has for me. This is my strategic year. Nothing missing, nothing broken.

I'm not losing anything in the name of Jesus.

Lift your voice loud and clear and pray. Loud and clear and pray. Raku pambele katesh. Rende ko bramba katesh.

Tebele dishtu.

In Jesus' mighty name we pray.

One of the things you must be sensitive to and to reject by all brings when you discern that this is it is delay. I've said to you that delay and process looks alike except that one has no result at the end.

I feel what I'm saying now. Delay and process looks alike except that one has no what?

No result at the end of the day.

A man who is in process, it's God, all right, for certain things to balance and all that.

Delay is demonically orchestrated. When Daniel set his heart to pray 21 days.

The angel of the Lord came to him and said, Daniel, from the moment you have set your heart to seek God, I have been sent to deliver to you answers to your prayers.

He said, but the Prince of Persia withstood me these 21 days until Michael came and rebuked the Prince of Persia out of the way. Are you seeing that now? And a man was there waiting for an answer, not knowing that something was blocking it.

Never call delay process.

When you do, you legalize it. Let me come again.

Never call delay process.

When you do, you legalize it.

In process, something is happening in you that will bet what God wants to give. In delay, nothing is happening in you.

It is just passage of time that brings weariness, that brings discouragement, that brings doubt.

Are you following what I'm saying here? You will not be delayed.

I didn't hear that in my loud and clear.

You will not be delayed in the name of Jesus. You will not be delayed.

Can I, can I give us 2 minutes? And wherever you are, get up on your feet. Say, I break every yoke of delay.

Listen, one, listen, one of the signs of delay is near success syndrome, that this person has so many stories of almost touching it. So many stories of almost getting there, so many stories of almost getting approval, but no result. Come on, come on now, lift your voice loud and clear. I break that siege. Please pray, please pray, please pray, please pray. Don't joke with it. No, no, no, don't joke with it. Don't be polite when you know the devil is at work. No go. Never be polite with the devil. It will go longer than you think it should go. Never be polite with him. I break the siege of delay in my life, in our ministry, in my family. Be broken, be broken, be broken, be broken, be broken, in the name of Jesus. Oh yes, please pray, please pray, please pray. In Jesus' mighty name we're praying.

Listen, listen, delay can also be a sign that a man is outside of alignment. When the Israelites were crossing the Red Sea, God gave them speed. When the host of Egyptians followed after them, the Bible said their wheels began to wear and began to drag. Track, and they were being delayed unnecessarily because they were out of alignment. Never get to that point where you no longer care about being aligned. No, never get to that point. Success is no success if it is outside of the will of God. Success is not just the ability to get the result. No, it is the ability to get result in the direction that God has called his will My Father, my God, may I not function outside alignment this year.

Now these are powerful prayers.

I do not want to spend a day outside of alignment with you.

In the name of Jesus, fix me to your will, Lord. Go ahead and pray, go ahead and pray, go ahead and pray. In Jesus' name we're praying. Beware of comparison. Beware of comparing yourself with people. Beware of running with people's time. Listen to what I'm saying. That it is happening for your neighbor and it's not happening to you doesn't mean you are being delayed. You must understand that what you want to get is to be exactly in God's will. Where God wants you to be. Listen to what I'm saying. Time is not just passage of moment. No, to every time there is a season.

Listen to this.

Time is not just moment passing. Time is moment and content. Let me give you an instance. Have you seen a case whereby, um, a vehicle— let me give this illustration. I remember one particular that day. I was praying in the church office there in Ibadan before we moved to Abuja, and, um, I sat there in the office. As I was praying, I, I saw in my spirit, I saw somebody laying down on the floor in pool of blood.

And what I started doing instinctively as a pastor was to begin to pray for my people.

I begin to cover everyone connected to me with the blood of Jesus. No one connected to me will be a victim of casual Blood of Jesus. And many people do not know that the recent blast that took place in Ibadan was actually in the street of our church, just at the junction. And God has revealed these things praying quietly. But listen to this. As I began, I left the office, went to the church auditorium, was praying, makabakata, let this pass over. And at some point, I sense peace.

Peace in my spirit.

I just sensed peace. Um, I guess the mistake I made that day was I should have prayed generally, but it did not occur to me.

I was praying for my people, those connected to me, and I spent time praying for everyone connected to me, those who pray, who pray together, PPC in the morning, in the evening, every prayer groups. Now listen to this, few minutes after I got into the church, I heard a loud noise.

Boom!

And people were screaming. What happened? A car was on top speed, another car was on top speed. Both of them were going to have head-on collision, eh. And just at the moment they should meet, they both maneuver and went separate ways. As they did, one of the vehicles hit a man that was working on the road, and the man died instantly. It—

see, listen, there is no coincidence in the spirit. The time that this one will will pass, the time that this one will pass has been allocated. What will take them from where they were is already predetermined. The person that will be the victim of their wrong driving is X.

That is a variable.

It is whoever is not under the hand of God that will pass. You say it could have been anybody. The moment you believe that as a believer, you are, you are, you are you are sitting on the keg of a gunpowder. What you are saying is that the hand of God upon your life, the presence of the Holy Ghost, cannot make your soul escape like a bird from the snare of the fowler.

That is a snare. That's why we have the Holy Ghost. We hear a voice behind us saying, this is the way, walk in it. So at that time it was pregnant with death, but who will pass?

A very table.

I decree and declare in the name of Jesus Christ, you will not walk into the trap of the enemy. Ah, they didn't say the amen well. Again, I decree the days that death will be hovering around, you will not be there.

I say again, you will not be there in the name of Jesus.

Listen to what I'm saying. To a carnal man or to a natural man, everything is just coincidence. No, The spirit realm is a well-planned realm and well-calculated realm. Oh yes, and I wish many understand this.

Many would have lived longer because they would have prayed certain prayers.

Are you following what I'm saying? Many would have what? Lived longer. They would have prayed. Can I, can I ask you to pray in the next 1 minute? My father, I pray away disaster, I pray away predicament, I, I send them out in the name of Jesus. You, you have, you have 1 minute. Please pray, please pray, please pray.

We pray it out of the way. We pray it out. We pray it out.

We pray it out in the name of Jesus. In Jesus' name we are praying. Listen to what I'm I'm saying, the same way an individual can be a victim at a particular time of two strange individuals driving, in the same way you could be in a season where there are wrong people around. If you are the casualty there, you say this is the bone of my bone, and you have entered as an accident. There is a season that you should not see a spouse because the person is not brought to you in that season. Anything else is outside alignment. It is an accident waiting to happen. Are there no people today who, who their only regret is whatsoever took me to that party where I met this fellow I married? Oh God, forgive me for going there. The same way people can be victims of the physical accident I can describe, you can also be victims of people that you should never meet and do life with because you try to engineer time. No, that is happening here doesn't mean your time has come, and that your time has not come does not mean it is delayed.

Sometimes some things are slow, but we are exactly where we should be. Are you following what I'm saying?

Exact— you can be exactly where you should be, and to somebody else things are slow.

And now, no, it doesn't work that way.

It is not about who is ahead. No, it's about who is in God's will. Are you following what I'm saying here? Are you following what I'm saying here?

Are you following what I'm saying here?

Can we pray?

Can we just pray?

Release energy. Can we pray? Lift your voice and roar. Pray away the clusters of darkness. Pray away their gatherings. Pray away their activities. Pray, pray. Pray, pray, pray, pray, pray your way into alignment. Pray your way into the will of God. Pray your way into manifestation. Pray your way into empowerment.

Pray, pray.

Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes.

Prayer is like money we invest in the bank.

You pray ahead, pray way ahead of this year. Release words ahead, speak words Speak life, release it, release it ahead. Don't joke, don't joke. Prayer is an investment, a worthy investment. Pray ahead, pray ahead. English.

Please pray, pray, pray. Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, oh yes!

Prayer is an investment. Prayer is an investment.

Pray, pray in Jesus' us.

Mighty name we're praying.

Amen.

Listen to this. I heard this in my spirit.

Now this is totally different from the direction of prayer I thought we're going to have. You pray this prayer well and we'll see the result.

Father, this year I do big things with greater level of ease. I do big things with greater level of—

is the problem of some people is not like they are not getting results, but the effort it takes. In fact, by the time the thing comes, it has— there's no pleasure again because the effort is too much. So much stress, labor laboriously for little results.

My Father, my God, help me, help me this year.

In the name of Jesus, I partake of the covenant of ease upon this house. Enough is enough of struggle.

Now pray this.

If you accept, you know that you are at a point of rest, then there's no problem.

But if you know that it can be easier, please pray like your life depends on it. Lift your voice and pray in the name of Jesus.

Please pray.

In Jesus' mighty name we are praying.

Amen.

In Jesus' name we are praying.

One of the graces that God has placed upon my life and our ministry 3 is the grace of ease.

Yes, to get things done effortlessly that should have required so much effort.

You know what I found out? It is contagious.

It is.

But let me first decree, if there's anyone who has been going through unnecessary struggle, by the— in the name that is above all names, the name of Jesus Jesus Christ, you come out of that place. Everything making you struggle and suffer, they are deleted from your life. No more wasted effort in the name of Jesus. No more wasted effort. No more wasted effort in the name of Jesus. I, I think I shared this story with you one time. A guy A guy has been suffering and struggling. You know, my heart is so heavy. Many believers will break through if only they will pray. There are many possibilities you are not enjoying if you are not praying. How many people can you call to help you? Put your petition before God. This guy has been suffering in Lagos, a BSc holder who was pushing wheelbarrow, helping people to carry load in the market. That was how bad things his goat. And one time he met a man of God who told him, he said, go back to your village, we don't know what you have done to your uncle. Go and check the goats in his compound. He said, I'm seeing you as a goat. Femi, goat. The guy went to the place. Truly, I know number one, the effort it takes to catch goat. And he checked, as he checked under the belly of the goat, he saw his name there and saw name under the belly.

In fact, the goat that was carrying his name was tied down.

No matter the work he does in Lagos, his life, his quality of life cannot outgrow that of the goat. This world is a wicked place.

Some of you say, I came, I came from, I came from Lagos State. There are no such things in Lagos, life is just pleasant. Yeah, yeah, Lagos place. Amen. There's no struggle there.

I, I came from New York. I don't want to mention things. I pray for people from different countries anyways, and I know things. I know that charm can catch somebody in Atlanta.

It's true, it's true, it's true.

When we tell you things, I'm saying it's true. However, I also know that more real is our victory in Christ Jesus. It is not location that gives you advantage, it is being in Christ. Many people will break through if only they will pray. Don't, don't wait for demon to chop your high, you know, chop chop. 2010, I was invited to pray. That's 14 years ago. January 2010, I went to minister somewhere. I was in— I was called that there's a boy they could not bring to the program. I should come and pray for him too. When I got to the house of the young man, his stomach was as big as the stomach of a pregnant woman, a 9-month pregnant woman plus extra 3 months. So big.

He was frail, he was pale, death was around him, he was dying.

Ah, I should pray for him for healing. When I got there, this is not healing, this is the hands of the enemy. This is not healing, a matter of healing.

We need to cast out the dead table from here and pronounce judgment.

I don't want to go into many things because at the end of the day it was a small girl that dealt with him. A small girl. The girl said was not up to 10. She just showed him who is the sinner. That is not everybody you beat. Anyways, God discharged the young man and he came out of the situation. If there's anyone who is tied down down in life by powers of whatsoever places, I set you free in the name of Jesus. I pronounce freedom. I pronounce freedom.

I pronounce freedom in the name of Jesus.

Be free! Be free!

Anyone here under the hands of darkness, that they are toying with your life, toying with your experience.

In the name of Jesus Christ, I pronounce judgment on them. Judgment in their camp. Judgment in their camp.

In the name of Jesus, be free now.

You are discharged and acquitted.

One of the ways you know freedom has has come is that you can now do the things you couldn't do before. From now onwards, all the things you could not do before because of bondage, go and get them done. Go and get them done. The most deceptive forms of bonding—

form of bondage is chain. That's the most deceptive form of bondage, is chain. Chain system.

Let's assume this is a pole. Let's assume this is a pole. If you tie something to the pole, the chain, if you tie a rope, let's say you tie an animal to a chain, to a stick like that, the, the chain, the length of the chain still gives the animal leverage to move certain distance.

And there can be testimonies within that distance, but it is a case of this, how far you can go, you can go for that. Huh, are you feeling what I'm saying? If somebody is chained, the fellow still has some results, but there is a mark he can't pass because the length of the chain is the duration of freedom. Can't go beyond the length of the chain. If there's anyone here that this describes your experience, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, be free now!

Let the chains break now! Let the fetters be broken now!

In the name of Jesus, be free now!

No bondage.

No, no.

Anyone whose womb has been tied, whose marital life has been tied, whose relationship has been tied, whose business has been tied, anything tied Loose them and let them go now. Chains break in the name of Jesus. Chains break. Anything the enemy planted in your body that is now fighting your destiny, we flush them out now in the name of Jesus. We flush them out, flush them out. Come out, out. In the name of Jesus. Listen to this.

From today, you will begin to do the things you could not do before. The places you could not enter because of bondage, begin to enter there. The things you could not see because of limits, begin to see them in the name of Jesus.

I know what limitation is, and to some extent, I know what it means to— let me just leave that part. There's nothing pleasant about limitation. To want to do project and you can't afford it, it's prison.

To want to feed your family and you don't have the resources, to want to help people and you can't afford it, it's prison. It's prison. It's prison. It's prison.

That won't be your portion. Anyone that has been experiencing this, it won't be your portion anymore. It won't be your portion Femi Lazarus. Listen to this, go and write it down. From now going forward, you begin to share testimonies in areas you've not had testimonies before. So go and get a testimony journal. Is that okay? Now go and get a testimony journal.

Today is what?

Today is 22nd of January. You begin to have testimonies in places and areas you've not had testimonies before. This is your new No, ma, this is your— I'm seeing visas being tied. Release them now. Release them. Release them. Your visa will not be tied in the name of Jesus. Your visa will not be tied in the name of Jesus. Your visa will not be tied in the name of Jesus. Your visa will not be tied in the name of Jesus. There will be testimony. You can't seek God and they won't show. There will be testimonies. There'll be testimonies. Let me say this to you. Some of you are praying together every day. I'm proud of you. I'm excited on your behalf. I'm glad. I'm glad to see what God is doing in your life.

I'm excited. Don't stop. Don't stop.

You can never overpray. You can never overpray. I'm telling you, one time, one time, my, my case became so serious that a thief came to rob in the house I was living, who wanted to come in through the window and, you know, steal phones. The thief has been coming many days, many. The thief screamed, this big fool, no they sleep again. The thief was tired, was tired. We're keeping night watch.

The thief screamed, ah!

He not sleeping again.

I ease that left, correct? That's how we also frustrate spiritual thieves. We are on our watch. They want to come to your family, learn, stay on the watch.

Don't stop praying, don't stop praying.

This prayer burden is not today.

Don't stop praying.

Said a little shambalaba here, shambalaba here. Keep doing it everywhere you turn.

Don't stop praying.

Eat prayer like food. Eat prayer like food. Pray today and play tomorrow. Pray today and play tomorrow. Pray today, pay the price today, engage in it today. I know some of you are at work in different places. You're at work in your office, plug in the earphone once in a while. Father, you have not wasted time. That's why I love that song, Calling Upon the Lord. I'm not wasting time. Prayer can never be waste of time. If God place a burden on you to pray and you can't tell why, it means it is deep.

Please pray.

You will only know as you obey. Is that okay now? You only know as you obey.

Everything I have decreed today, they answered by fire.

There's a family connected, the home is is on the verge of breaking. That home is collapsing. What is holding you is a small strand, and, and this home should not break. This matter can be amended. It can be amended. I decree peace is restored. Ah, peace is restored. Peace is restored in the name of Jesus. Peace is restored.

Peace.

Result will follow.

Unbelievable testimonies. Help on all sides. Help on all sides. Help on all sides. Help on all sides. Listen, people will go out of their way to help you.

Help is real. People carry your matter on their head.

You are wondering, do you know me from anywhere? Say no, no, I just feel like helping you.

Help is real.

From today you will enjoy help in the name of Jesus. You enjoy help, you enjoy help, you enjoy help in the name of Jesus. You enjoy help, you enjoy help, you enjoy help, you enjoy help. Come out of confusion, come out of confusion, come out of confusion.

Get out of confusion!

You're not confused, you're not confused in Jesus' mighty name. We're praying.

Hallelujah! Oh, thank you, Lord. We serve a prayer-answering God. We serve a covenant-keeping God. We serve a prayer-answering God. We serve a prayer-answering God.

We serve a prayer— let me beg you, don't stop praying.

If you struggle with prayer, fast, tie your garment with those who pray.

Don't stop praying. Don't stop praying.

Your case will not become too difficult for prayer to handle. In the name of Jesus, don't stop praying.

Don't stop praying. Don't stop praying.
