DAY 15 || 21 DAYS PRAYER AND FASTING || 25TH JANUARY 2024

Help me, Lord. Help me, Lord, to love you more, to serve you more. Help me, help me. In Jesus' mighty name we're praying. Now let's step these prayers up a bit. Please project Psalms chapter number 89. Psalms chapter number 89 from verse 20. How many of us are still willing to pray? Are you tired? We're going to pray tonight. Psalms 89, verse 20 says, I have found David. Can you project it please? I found David my servant, with my holy oil have I anointed him, with whom my hand shall be established. My arm also shall strengthen him. The enemy shall not exert upon him, nor the son of wickedness afflict him. Father, search me out, anoint me too. Please see, listen, listen, I told our pastors, I said, see, many people have gone to the point where they now feel guilty when they ask God to anoint them. That is, you know, you've heard many things from any corner, like, uh, the anointing should be a byproduct. As much as I be— I don't argue, no problem. But there is nothing wrong scripturally and semantically wrong with a believer asking for infilling of the anointing, because the anointing is the tool for the job. I don't want to be a blunt axe. Anoint me with fresh oil. Let me carry a new dimension of the anointing. Oh yes, let me carry a new dimension of the anointing. Anoint me with fresh oil. Go ahead, lift your voice and pray. Anoint me with fresh oil. Anoint me with fresh oil. Anoint me with fresh oil. Oh yes, Lord, anoint me with fresh oil. Anoint me with fresh oil. Anoint me with fresh oil. Anoint me with fresh oil. Let your anointing rest upon me. I want to be used by you. Don't you want to be used by God? I want you to use me for your glory. I want you to use me for your power. I want you to use me for your empowerment. Use me to liberate people. Use me to set the captives free. Use me to raise the dead. Use me to heal the sick. Use me to set your press free. Use me, Lord. Anoint me, Lord. Anoint me with your fresh oil. Anoint me, Lord. Thank you, Father. In Jesus' mighty name we are praying. Let me share some things with you. Now, I've told you many funny stories, but this is years back. Um, I'm more mature now, but what I want to share with you did happen. I remember I was— I would lock myself up and cry and cry and cry. Oh Lord, anoint me. And I— me, when I pray those prayers, I want to go and test it. I will go to campus, I want to test it. I like feedbacks. I'll go and check. I say, God, anoint me with fire, anoint me with fire. I'll go out If anybody shakes me and nothing happened to them, I'll go back home and cry again. Oh Lord, you have not anointed me enough. I mean, that may sound childish, but that was the way I was praying then. Till the day finally I met one of my friends who happened to be a pastor also, and I was just strolling to go get some things on the street, and as we hugged, my friend was pushed back by the anointing. Ah! And he said, ah! Did you put hands on my body? I said correct, correct, we are getting there. I've seen testimonies of people come to stand where I was standing and sicknesses disappear. I've seen cancers disappear. I've seen the dead raised back to life. I've seen somebody who was blind, who was deaf, who was dumb— I'm sorry, not blind, this one was not blind, there's another one blind. I've seen deaf, dumb, and mentally retarded released from relief from those demons immediately. I've seen the one who was blind, who was deaf, who was dumb, who was mentally sick healed also. Don't you want power? There's nothing God is doing with it in heaven. They are for us to work here on earth. Acts 10:28, how God— is it? Yeah, how God anointed Jesus Christ of Nazareth. With the Holy Ghost and what? With what? How God anointed who? With what? The Holy Ghost and power. Don't you want to be anointed? I said, don't you want to be anointed? You like people are dying of sickness and dying of all those things and dying of pain. Acts 10:38, how God anointed Jesus with the Holy Ghost and power. Look how the Bible said in Acts of the Apostles, number 1, verse 8, Acts 1:8. Says that you shall receive power after the Holy Ghost is come upon you, then you shall be a witness both in Jerusalem, in Judea, in Samaria, to the uttermost part of the earth. Lift your voice, let me pray. Say, I want power. I want power. I didn't hear it again. I want power. Say, I want power. I want power. Power to heal the sick. I want to heal the sick. Power to raise the dead. Power to set the captives free. I want power. Go ahead in a moment and cry for it. Say, Lord, anoint me. Anoint me. Oh yes, fill me with power. I want power too. I want to be able to do exploit for the kingdom. I want to raise the dead. I want to heal the sick. I want you to save souls, save lives through me. Save lives through me. I want power. I want power. Lift your voice loud and clear. Lift your voice loud and clear. I want power. Give me this power. Give me this power. Power is power. Give me this power. Oh yes, Lord, give me this power. In Jesus' mighty name we are praying. Amen. I remember I was at the hospital, OAU THC, the emergency ward. Somebody was sick, were there overnight. Then I saw a woman, oh, several doctors and nurses gathered around her. She was in distress. She was rolling, she was crying. She couldn't lie down, she couldn't sit down, she couldn't stand up. She was in what I have seen as the height of pain, and yet she was not in labor. Ah, they were trying to give her some injections to calm her down. No, she couldn't take them. Some were trying to hold her down. She was in distress. So I moved there and I said, I'm a pastor, do you mind just 30 seconds? Just want to have contact with her. So I went there and I just touched her and I said, 'Pain, you have to leave her now. Let her go.' And I left. In less than 20 minutes, I was downstairs. I was around them, their cafeteria or their waiting area, and I just observed that there was a woman beside me taking Fanta with straw. As I looked, and it was that same woman. Everything had calmed down. She could now come downstairs if you wanted to walk and take fresh air, and she was there at ease. That's what power is for. It's not for personal aggrandizement, to be boasting. It is to set the captives free. Let me share another story with you. Somebody Sent for me a family, an old man, and said to me, said, somebody told us about you, that if you pray for cripple, they will come back, they will be healed. You pray for the blind, they will see. I said, by the grace of God, God has been helping us. The man said he has been paralyzed, I can't remember now, that's 1985. He's been paralyzed, not been able to get up. They have to carry him on a chair every morning. And the man looked at me, you could see desire to be healed. And the man said to me, said, I want God to heal me, I don't want to die like this. Ah, so I laid hands on him, prayed and prayed and prayed and prayed. He was still there. Paralyzed. So I cried to God. God said to me, son, every day when you have time, come around his house and just lay hands on him. So he was not healed instantly, but for every day I would go there, I would lay hands on him, say be healed. And I did that for months, for months. One day I went there and I met his daughter at the door. She was crying. The more I tried to question her, the more she broke out in tears. So I placed my two hands on my head and I said, ah, this man has died. I got inside. I saw the wife was crying. The moment she saw me, she broke out in tears. I look at the seat where the man had always sat down. The seat was empty. Ah, I said, God, this was not how we discussed it. Then when I sat down, nobody was giving me answer, and I saw the curtain open and somebody was trying to come into the sitting room. Lo and behold, it was the man standing on his two feet, walking down, smiling. Ah! So these tears was tears of joy. Glory to God! I didn't know when I went to meet him and they said, what happened? And the man said, when the wife was going to brush his teeth, something just made him feel within him that I could get up. And he responded and he got up, and that thing told him again, you can walk. And he carried the first leg. And he walked. The second leg, and he walked. The third leg, and he walked. For the first time since 1985. How do we expect— how do we explain that? Do you think God is happy when people are tied down in sicknesses, when they are tied down in pain? He is not happy. If there's anybody here under the sound of my voice who is tied down by any sickness I command, lose them and let them go now. Amen. You will not live your life in sickness. But not just is God willing to heal you, he wants to give you the healing anointing. He wants you to be the one to go and set others free also. They brought a girl to my office who, according to them, ran mad. I said, Eliza, Yeah, that's why I said release her. I went to meet her. Are you fine? What's your name? Say my name. Are you aware you are free from today? Said amen. You are free, can go home. And they looked at me with shock. Is that all? That's all. She's free from that moment till date. Madness can't return, never. I decree over every contrary situation in anybody's life. I send them packing in the name of Jesus Christ. How many of us want God to anoint us? You can be a businessman, you can be a politician, you can be a pastor, you can be— a lot can happen through the anointing. If you are where you are, where you can place your hands on your head— you're in the market, you can't, people think something's wrong— but your place, put your two hands on your head. And say, Father, anoint me with fresh oil. Anoint me to heal the sick. Anoint me to raise the dead. Go ahead, please pray. Go ahead and please pray. Anoint me with fresh oil. Anoint me with fresh oil. I want to raise the dead. I want to heal the sick. Anoint me, Lord. Oh yes, please pray. Lift your voice loud and clear. Let everything within you cry out to God. Anoint me with fresh oil. Anoint me to heal the sick, to raise the dead. Anoint me, Lord. Anoint me, Lord. How God anointed Jesus Christ of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power. Yes, anoint me too with the Holy Ghost and with power. Oh, anoint me with fresh oil. I want to raise the dead. I want to heal the sick. In the name of Jesus. In Jesus' mighty name we are praying. I remember a season in my life, God told me, he said, son, don't disturb yourself about those who have gone ahead of you. He said, stay with me in the place of prayer till I tell you it's time to move. So I stayed with him in the place of prayer. He told me to resign from my work, so I resigned. Every blessed day I carry my bag and I carry my journal and my Bible, stay with him in place of prayer and fasting. And we did that adventure for 2 years, though staying with him in that location still took 7 years. And one day I was praying and God said to me, son, you have been praying. I'm not talking about the prayer you pray for 1 hour, I'm talking about prayer you pray from 8 in the morning till 6 in the evening for 2 years. So I was praying and the Lord said to me, said, because that was not my house, was at Anofanejo, said, there's so much deposit of anointed anointing where you are praying. I tell them, they've suffered a few casualties. If anything ever happened to any child again, let them lay the child where you used to pray, the child will come back to life. I was ministering, I was preaching somewhere. When they were calling me, I was cutting their call, and then they sent a text, Pastor, so-and-so child died. Ah, I had to excuse myself to reply, put the child where I used to pray. They put the child there, the child did not come back to life. Leave the room. Unlock the door and leave the child there. Less than 30 minutes, they heard the cry of the child already back to life. God is going to anoint you for signs and wonders. In your lifetime, you know what it means to raise the dead. You know what it means to raise somebody. Femi Lazarus is alive. So it's not— I'm not telling you stories that are far-fetched. Let me share another one with you. This of Anijom. There's this girl, Rofia. She was born lame. As at the time, all her mates, her colleagues were already walking. She couldn't walk. Her legs were getting tiny. The more she grew, the tinier the legs get. The more she grew, slimmer the leg gets. And every time I go to greet them, other children will come, ah, Pastor, come and hug me, and all that. And there she was, always sitting, dangling her legs, she'll be stretching her arms. I have to go there and carry her, even at her age. One day I cried to God, I held her. So I'm telling you the journey so that You know, you don't feel like a Superman. I prayed for people and they were not healed, but consistency. So I held her, prayed for her, and cried and cried. I was crying so much my tears was even soaking her clothes. She was not healed. She didn't get up. It was like the more I put her down, the more the legs will fall like spaghetti. She didn't get healed. And God told me, son, let's do it again. Come here every day, lay hands on her, command her to be healed. So I did that every day for close to 6 months. Every day I will go there, be healed in the name of Jesus. I speak life to this leg every day. No changes. Finally, one of those days I went there to greet other children, greet the children as usual. I came as usual. They will all come out, hey, Pastor! And for the first time before all of us, Ophelia got up on her feet and limped and walked and ran. We moved from the excitement of pastor is around to the excitement of see what the Lord has done. If there's anything representing what has been crippled in your life, I command them to come back to life now. Amen. Lift your hands wherever you are! Say Father anoint my hand for signs and wonders— Anoint My Hands For Signs And Wonders . Lift Your Voice Loud Clear Pray! Lift Your Voice Loud Clear And Pray! Lift Your Voice Loud Clear And Pray!

I'm praying this prayer along together with Brother T.B.Oshiomhole of The Redeemer Church Abuja State. Let's go ahead and begin our prayers today by declaring that we have received healing power through Jesus Christ himself who please said if thou wilt say unto any mountain be removed then shall he move not but only speak words so let us declare tonight Lord send fire upon me like thunderbolt lightening strike down every sickness disease evil spirit infestation whatever name they call themselves open their mouth and shout Amen because when Satan speaks lies his voice will never prevail cry against You O Holy Spirit may His word arise within Our to Lives May It Be Established In Us Oh Mighty One Of Heaven Open God.

I want to be a vessel unto honor. Anoint me. I want to be a vessel unto honor. Anoint me, Lord, especially. In Jesus' mighty name we are praying. Now, as I begin to tie this up, there's another dimension of the anointing or power that I want us to pray about. I want to show you a scripture because you need this anointing. Deuteronomy chapter number 8. Deuteronomy chapter number 8, verse 18. Deuteronomy chapter number 8, verse 18. But thou shalt— can you please project it? Deuteronomy chapter 8, verse 18. Look at it. But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God. For it is he that giveth the power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto your fathers. Like I said, sometimes it is difficult for the church to stay in the balance. There's always the tendency for extreme. Many believers now believe that when you pray that God should open the door of wealth, you are being materialistic. I say money is vanity upon vanity. I've always told them Poverty is vanity too. You choose your vanity. One can get jobs done in the kingdom. Josiah will make you redundant because the wisdom of a poor man is not here. There are many things that needs to be done in the kingdom today, many things. Let me give you an example of one of my dreams. Look at the kind of thing that happened in Jos, that we will not even have to wait on the government. We by ourselves, we send relief materials. Oh yes, that can be done with wishful thinking. How many of you love the kingdom of God so much and you want to be a kingdom financier? Many of you are even— you know that you have called to finance the gospel, but you are still broke. There is nothing. What can you do yet? So it means you are— you have a job, but there's no tool for the job. This year, 2024, I want to know what breakthrough means, to be able to do so much for the kingdom, for the sake of the kingdom, for the sake of the gospel. Empower me! You are the one that gives us power to get wealth. I want such power. I want to do so much for the kingdom. Lift your voice loud and clear and pray. Lift your voice loud and clear and pray! I want to do so much for the kingdom— I want to be a Kingdom Mover Oh Lord help me empower me Lord empowering you all to walk in wealth I want to be able to do so much for the kingdom I want to be able to do so much for the kingdom Oh yes, Lord, I don't want to— the wisdom of a poor man is not heard. I want to do so much for the kingdom. I want to move the kingdom. In Jesus' mighty name we're praying. We're having a project recently. I'm going to share this testimony. Maybe God is going to lay it in somebody's heart too. One person, just one person, woke up to me. I said, Apostle What kind of chair do you want? I said this kind of chair. I mean, quite expensive. How many pieces? I said 2,500 for a new venue. Say consider it done. That is off prayer request, and this is not a matter of 20 million. Remember we had our project in Ibadan? Oh, we needed resources. Somebody got just to go and source it. Somebody called me from outside the country. They are— Femi Lazarus. I say yes. I saw your project. How much will complete all the project? I'm not the one to begin to ask questions like this. Now, how much do you need for buses? Let's evangelize and eat the street. How much? You see, let me tell you, people who are givers, they are not the ones that fight issue of tithing and first fruit. It is people, the real givers don't make noise. So how many of you want to start asking questions like this? Now, how many buses will you need for the new venue? How many buses? Say, will you start with 10? Let's see how we can go with 10. Ah, I'm taking prayer point. When will you start giving buses and giving hectares of land and giving properties? Because God will bless you with so much. Don't let the devil deceive you. And that's why you must see beyond the smoke screen. Islam is well financed. The only institution that they fight giving is in the church. I showed you all that the country gave $1 trillion, $1 trillion, not for infrastructure development, for global Islamization. $1 trillion. Our strategy must go beyond shouting. There are— and listen, money is neutral, is a neutral commodity. It only takes the posture of the person carrying it. Aha, that money is to make— it depends on the person wielding it. God is going to anoint you to have much more. They didn't say the amen well. God is going to put resources in your hands. Amen. I say again, God will put resources in your hands. You will be able to do big things effortlessly. You'll be able to do big things effortlessly. You'll be able to move the kingdom forward like never before. Oh, I remember hearing— let me quote it— a man of God shared testimony. He heard the news that a mosque was going to buy a church venue. He had the news. Ah, so not a branch of their church. And he sent somebody there to investigate how much will the venue cost, and they paid upfront, paid everything cash, and collected it back and said so that the name of the Lord will not be blasphemed. That is the purpose of abundance. That's the purpose of abundance. God has blessed you. I have a facility I'm planning to buy and the asking price of that facility is ₦1 billion. Are you seeing the reason why I'm praying? Just asking price, ₦1 billion. It's not a big deal. God put resources in. Money is not scarce, it is only in wrong hands. There are people— this is weekend, it's today Saturday. Aha. Who go to different clubs and spend thousands of dollars. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, you will have more than enough. Amen. You will know what it means to walk in breakthrough in this lifetime. Now hear this: God will raise helpers of destinies for you. He will raise partners for you. Amen. People who will help you push the work forward. In the name of Jesus, nothing dies in your hands. In the name of Jesus, resources will come to your hand too. You will always have, you will always have. Let me, let me give you 2 more minutes to pray that prayer. My Father, my God, I am tired of lack. You are the one that gives power to get wealth. I want to walk in it too for the sake of your kingdom. Go ahead, you have 2 minutes. Pray that prayer. I want to walk in it too. I want to walk in it too for the sake of your kingdom. Oh yes, please pray. Pray that prayer loud and clear like your life depends on it. Pray that prayer loud and clear, loud and clear. Oh yes, Lord. Oh yes. Oh yes, Lord. Oh yes. Oh yes. Help me to come out of this tight space I want to walk in abundance. I want to walk in it. I want to be able to push things for your sake, in the name of Jesus. Push things for your sake. Oh yes, please pray. A very few more minutes. One more minute to finish praying. One more minute to finish praying. Rende rogo sante, rogo sante, rogo sante. Oh yes, Lord. Oh yes, Lord. Oh yes, Lord. Rende rogo sante, rogo sante. Makoro ndero go sante, rogo sante. Keron derogo sante, ro. In Jesus' mighty name we're praying. Now I want to make declarations, and I want your amen to be loud and clear. I break this siege of near success syndrome. Amen. Almost got it, you almost got there, you almost reached it, you almost collect it. Ah, everything that looks like almost, they are deleted. Amen. And now your hands will touch it. Amen. Everything God has planned to do, he will not do it without you. You will not be substituted. Amen. You will not be kicked out of the race. In the name of Jesus, you are anointed with fresh oil. You are anointed to work miracles, to work in science, to work in wonders, to do amazing things, to serve God better. You are anointed in the name of Jesus. In your lifetime, the gospel will prosper more. Amen. You receive the grace to evangelize, to win souls, to build strategic networks. For the sake of the gospel. In the name of Jesus, from today you will know what it means to be a true kingdom financier. In the name of Jesus, nothing dies in your hands. It is well with you. It is well with your household. It is well with you. All that concerns you, it is well with you. In the name of Jesus, it is done. There's somebody here who has a pain, your cheek inside. Um, this looks like mouth ulcer, okay? It's been burning sensation inside. That pain just got healed and covered up. It's been healed, it's been healed, it's been healed, it's been healed. Every abdominal issues, they are taken care of in the name of Jesus. Ulcer pain, gastritis, I command that they are healed in the name of Jesus. Every hormonal issues, PCOS, be healed in the name of Jesus. Be healed! Let fibroid get out now. Let fibroid get out now. Every blurry sight, be healed, be healed, be healed. Somebody can't look at bright lights with your eyes, you are healed, you are healed, you are healed, you are healed. One leg Right leg, quite painful, quite painful. You are healed, you are healed. You have poured water on your head 3 times today, but cold pure water on your head. There's no more headache, it's gone in the name of Jesus. Now listen, I want to decree your going out and your going out and coming in is blessed. Amen. Throughout this year, you are heavily protected. Amen. You are heavily defended. Amen. No bad news will arise about you and your household and all that is connected to you. The blood of Jesus speaks for them in the name of Jesus. Amen. We take charge of the atmosphere over Africa, over Nigeria. Every looming epidemic, every looming condition, viral infection, they will not stand. They will vanish like vapor in the name of Jesus. You will not weep. In all the nations that you are, God will protect you, he will defend you. There's somebody here who has a case in court and you are pleading not guilty. God said to tell you, I will vindicate you and that case will die a natural death in the name of Jesus. It is done. In Jesus' mighty name. Amen. All right, tomorrow we are not going to be meeting in the evening because there's church, okay? So all the prayers will be prayed in church. What that means is I'm extending an invitation for you to join us in church, either on site or online, okay? And we have branches in Lagos. We have branches in Lagos. Just type Esprit of Light Church Global. On Instagram, you see all our branches. We have in Lagos, we have in Abeokuta, we have in Ile-Ife, we have in Ibadan, we have in Kano, and we are— we have in Abuja. All right, so I'd be glad to have you in church tomorrow. Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you, Lord. All right, so I can't wait to see you in church. People have been asking, is there a way to give to this ministry? They put their account details on the screen. All right, fasting continues. I believe you are not getting tired, and I believe you are not doing fasting every other day. Amen. God bless you. You will never master anything you are not practicing, so give yourself to it. Practice the art of fasting, the art of prayer. It doesn't kill. If fasting kills, many of us would have been dead many times over. It doesn't kill, and I can tell you from medical perspective Nothing deals with ulcer like fasting. Take this to any research. I'm speaking from research, all right? So God strengthens you in the name of Jesus. They've caught me there. No grief for ulcer this year, no grief for prayerlessness. Amen. All right, so see you in church tomorrow. I can't wait to see you, and God bless you so much. Have an amazing evening. You're blessed. God bless
