Hallelujah!

Please, if you can hear me, I want us to comment, drop our comments if you can hear my voice loud and clear. Hallelujah! It's day 28 of 30 days fasting and prayer. Wow, wow, wow, wow! God has been good. God has been faithful. What a good way to start the year! Wow, what a good way to start the year! Hallelujah! I'm sure many of us probably thought we would not be able to, you know, stay till the end of the fast before we reroute and, you know, just join the prayer and stop fasting. But here we are. I'm very sure that, you know, God has been strengthening us all through the fasting and prayer, and he has been redeeming our strength. And that's one thing about spiritual exercise— spiritual exercise is never to be done in your, in, in your own strength. You get to a point where you have to understand that once it's spiritual, then it requires, you know, the supernatural to assist you in accomplishing the journey. And God has been faithful. God has been renewing our strength. Hallelujah! I for I've been, you know, a testament to God renewing strength. You know, you get to a point you're fasting and you're not even feeling whatever stress fast is supposed to bring, and then you're working at the same time. It's a supply of grace from God. Hallelujah! Glory to God! Glory to God! I am so, so glad to be here, and I'm so grateful for this great privilege to be taking us in prayer today. I want to celebrate from the bottom of my heart my spiritual parents Apostle Femi Lazarus and Pastor Miracle Femi Lazarus, thank you so much. Thank you so much for always giving us the wing to fly. Thank you so much for entrusting this into our hands. We are so grateful. We see your intentionality in our growth and we do not take it for granted. I love you so much, sir and ma. I do. Thank you so much, sir. All right, it's a good time to begin to bless the name of the Lord. This evening. I want us to bless the name of the Lord this evening. I want us to bless the name of the Lord this evening. You know, I said something the other time that, you know, probably some of us started and we already concluded that I'm not going to finish, let me just start and see how it goes. But you are here, and then you could see that God himself, you know, supervised your journey in the fasting and prayer because he knows that it's going to be a great reward to you even at the end of the day. So I want us to lift up your voice wherever you are and bless God, and bless God, you know. Something that, you know, the Apostle said, that one of the major, you know, um, focus of the fasting and prayer is to engage in the, in the mercies of the Lord, such that by the time this year ends, we, we will see results that we cannot accredit to ourselves. We can't even accredit it to any man, but only to the Lord, because there are results that only God's mercies can bring. You can't do it if you try all your best in your capacity. You can never, you can never achieve it. And that is the focus of God for us this year. We are building Goshen, and that can only be built in the strength of the Lord, in the mercies of the Lord. I want you to thank God. I want you to thank God in this place, in wherever you are, in your car, in your office, on your way to your, to your house, wherever you are this evening. I want you to lift up your voice from the bottom of your heart and begin to bless the name of the Lord in this place. Lord, we give you the praise. Lord, we thank you. Lord, we give you the praise. Lord, we thank you. I want you to mean every word that you are saying right now. I want you to mean it. I want you to mean it. Thank you, Jesus. Us. Thank you, Father. Lord, we are grateful. Lord, we are grateful. Lord, we are grateful. Lord, we are grateful. Lord, we are grateful. Lord, we are grateful. Because if there's anything we are sure of is that God has been answering our prayers. We are so sure of that. We have not been praying in vain. We have not been whining in the meantime. God has been deliberate with us. He has been helping us through, you know, different men of God, you know, to pray in accordance to his will, to pray in alignment to that which God— the Bible says in Philippians that it is God that works in us both to will and to do according to his good pleasure. He's the one that inspires us to fast so that, you know, we can pray the right prayer that he's going to lead us to pray and come into what he has for us. Wow, what, what a loving Father we serve! What a gracious Father we serve! And Lord, we are so grateful. Lord, we are so grateful. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Mande bako shita fle bade esta. Lord, we are grateful. Lord, we are grateful. We've come together this evening again to declare your lordship, to declare your sovereignty, to declare your faithfulness. Lord, we are grateful. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. And for the mercies of the Lord that is never-ending, it is never-ending, it is never-ending. If there's something about the mercies of the Lord, it is the fact that it, it, it can never be exhausted. It can never be exhausted. The Bible says in Psalms 100:5, 5. Please help me with that scripture. Psalms 100, but verse 5. You know, I just thought about it. Wow, God is a loving Father. What a merciful Father he is. He's the one, you know, you know, he, he made provision for mercy, that no matter what we do, you know, there's still a provision in him that still makes us, makes us fit for what he wants to use, use us for. What, what loving Father. Psalms 100, verse 5. 5. I will read from here. He said, for the Lord is good, his mercy is everlasting. His mercy— did you see that? His mercy is everlasting. His mercy is everlasting. His truth endureth to all generations. You cannot exhaust the mercies of the Lord. You cannot. You cannot. The mercies of the Lord is everlasting. As long as he, you are— he has decided to show you his mercy, you cannot exhaust it. You cannot exhaust it. All you have to do is to make sure that you come into the operation of the mercies of the Lord. And once you come into operation of it, you don't, you don't, you don't, you don't, you don't, you don't, you don't, you don't, you don't cross away from the, from the body. I'm still going to come to that, but you stay in the conference, which is mercies, you know, can reach you always. The mercy of the Lord is everlasting. The mercy of the Lord is everlasting. Psalms 103:8 also. Please help me with that scripture. I don't want to show us how much, you know, or how the mercies of the Lord, we cannot exhaust, we cannot exhaust it. The Bible says in Psalms 103:8, it says, the Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, plenteous in mercy. Plenteous in mercy. Contrary to probably the picture that have been pasted, that have been projected to you about God, no, he's plenteous in mercy. Is a God that have an heavy dose of mercy. Do you understand? He's ready to step into the situation even though you are at fault. He's ready to help you out even though there's a justification for why you should, you know, probably end up, you know, in the, in the, in the mess that you find yourself. But God's mercy is, is plenteous. It cannot be exhausted. And that's one of the reasons why, you know, the angels had to ask, what is man that thou art mindful of him. What is man that I am mindful of him? But God's mercy, his provision for us, we cannot exhaust it. We cannot exhaust it. We cannot exhaust it. We cannot exhaust it. I want us to bless the name of the Lord this evening. I want us to give him the praise. Say thank you, Jesus, for your mercy. Say thank you, Jesus, for your mercy. Lord, we are grateful for your mercy. Thank you, Father, for your mercy. We have been praying for the mercies of the Lord, and God himself has been showing up. God himself has been showing up. I mean, if you were part of of the, you know, the early morning prayer, not, um, 5 hours prayers from 9 AM to 1 PM that we do have. No, today we started with testimonies, and wow, I was so blessed listening to those testimonies. There were testimonies of healing, of recoveries, of restoration, you know, of redemption. Some people that probably had even given up on themselves you know, through this prayer and consistent fasting, God has showed up for them. God has showed up for them. Psalm 103:17 also, you know, says that, but the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting. There's no ending to it. There's no ending to it. I believe you can see that now, that you can't exhaust the mercies of the Lord. You can't, you can't, you can't exhaust the mercies of the Lord. Our God's mercy is from everlasting to everlasting. Our God is God is plenteous in mercy. His mercy is everlasting. Lord, we are grateful. Wow, thank you, Jesus, for your mercy. Thank you, Jesus, for your mercy. Thank you, Jesus, for your mercy. I want you to pray. I want you to bless the name of the Lord, you know, pray with so much awareness, knowing fully well that the mercy of the Lord is also available for you and it cannot be exhausted. Lord, we are grateful for your mercy. Thank you, Lord, for your mercy. Thank you, Lord, for your mercy. Thank you, Lord, for your mercy. I know some of you here, you might be saying, yes, I'm still waiting on God for my testimonies. I'm here to receive my testimony. I rejoice with those that have been receiving theirs, but yet I'm still hoping that God— not hoping, sorry, I'm still trusting. I know, I have the faith, because you shouldn't hope, you should be sure that God is going to answer your prayer. Yes, I want you, I want you to know that God is going to give you a testimony yet. God is going to give you a testimony. As long as you're a part of this family, as long as you have been, you know, you have been praying and fasting, God is going to give you a testimony. Don't be discouraged. God is— don't be discouraged. God is never going to leave you without an evidence. God is never going to leave one without the witness. The witness of the faithfulness of God is going to be evident in your life. Men will see you and they are going to see the goodness of God. Yes, you are not going to go through this, not through this fasting and prayer in vain. It's never going to be your portion. It's never going to be your portion. It's never going to be your portion. One thing about God is that he will never leave us without a witness. He will never leave us without the testament, you know, to his faithfulness. He will not do that. He will never do it will never do that. It's going to give you a testimony. It's going to give you a testimony. I want you to bless the name of the Lord once again and say thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Lord, we are grateful. Thank you, Jesus. You know, the Bible says in 1 Corinthians 1:6, it says, even, you know, well, Paul was speaking here and he said, even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you. He was speaking to the Corinthians church and was telling them that even the, you know, the testimony of Christ, the evidence of the faithfulness of God has been confirmed in us, that has been confirmed in them. That is how God works. That is how Christ works. When he, when he, when he, when he, when he walks through a man, he's going to leave a witness that even people will see. They'll even be the one to testify that, say, yes, truly truly, truly, truly know this person, God has visited him. And that is going to be your portion in the name of Jesus. I decree into your life under the grace of Apostle Femi Lazarus that that is going to be your portion, that is going to be your testimony in the name of Jesus. You will not pray in vain, you will not pray in vain. Father, we bless your name this evening. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus, for the operation of your mercy. Thank you for testimonies you are giving us already. Thank you for testimony still coming. Thank you for this mind-blowing testimony. Testimony of restoration, of healing, of deliverance, of redemption. Lord, we are great— of recovery. Lord, we are grateful. We acknowledge that we couldn't have gotten this in our power, but in your mercy. Thank you, Jesus. Lord, we are grateful. Lord, we are grateful. Ekrondo sumbrede bos di fri kra braga badosa. Elen brede osha badabadabadaba. For God is plenteous in mercy, is rich in wisdom. Yes, thank you, Father. Thank you, Jesus. Lord, we are grateful. Lord, we are grateful. Thank you for being God. Thank you for being who you are to us. Thank you for being who you are to us. El Roi, the God who sees us, the God who knows us even beyond how we know ourselves. Us. Thank you, Father, for your intentionality over our lives. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus, for the big plans you have for us, even that our mind might not have been able to conceive yet. Thank you, Father. Lord, we are grateful. Lord, we are grateful. Lord, we are grateful. Lord, we are grateful. The one who says a thing and bring it to pass. The one who says a thing and bring it to pass. He says it himself, he still supervises the accomplishment of that word. Ah, ah, what a God we serve. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Father, for helping us to align daily to, to the world that has gone ahead of us. Thank you, Father, for helping us in your strength to come into conformity with your word, with your word, so that we can become that which you have designed us to be. Lord, we are grateful. We see what you're doing. We see what you're doing. Thank you for these testimonies, Lord. We are grateful even for lives that are going to be changed. Thank you, Jesus. Lord, we are grateful. For in Jesus' name we are We are going to be praying, still continuing on mercy, on mercy. But before, you know, I lead us in prayer of mercy, there's something that I want us to pray about. We're already in the 28th day of the fasting and prayer, and I know some people are happy, some people are excited, right? It's okay to be. You want to, you know, resume back to your breakfast and then your lunch and three square meal. Glory to God, glory to God. I know not everybody's in Nigeria. I wanted to say that, you know, in this economy, we're not even controlled by this economy. Anyways, all right, so Apostle was saying something in the morning, so there's a principle that brings breakthrough and there's a principle that sustains breakthrough. And you know, that confirmed what the Holy Spirit dropped in my hands— in my, in my heart, rather— about the need for me to re-emphasize is that it's not just enough for you to start the year with prayer and fasting. I know some of us here, some person might have even received the instruction to not stop the fasting even after the 30 days. Probably there's something God, you know, still wants to do with you, that he still wants you to persist and inquire more. You shouldn't stop if you have that instruction. Don't silence that voice, please don't silence that voice. Give it all you are. There's something God wants to see accomplished. Don't cut short the process that God has started. Don't cut it short. It's very important that you align yourself, you know, to what God has started in this season with you. And, you know, Holy Spirit dropped in my heart that— and, you know, and I just had in my, in my mind, in my, in my spirit rather, you know, saying that fix your gaze on God. Fix your gaze on God. You know, it's okay that we have started this, this month, this year with fasting and prayer, but The devil, honestly speaking, yes, you've started the fasting and prayer, yes, and you know, devil probably discouraged you not to do it, but eventually you were able to do it. But if you know the devil too well, you know that he doesn't mind giving 10 blows as long as he know that the final punch is going to, you know, be a win for him. And I just wanted to call our attention to this, that it is very important that we fix our gaze on God. You know, Apostle was saying in the morning how that some people, once they get what they want to get from God, you know, the things of God becomes alien to them. You know, the word say, you know, what's PPC? What's PPC? If you remember PPC family here, I believe everybody here should be part of it anyways. You know, I begin to I begin to think, okay, you know, I actually achieved all this in my strength, in my power. And it's very important that as you have started in this energy, you keep it steady like that. If there's anything that should even happen to this energy is that it should go higher, it should go higher. There's still much more that God wants to do. Imagine what he has done in 30 days. Now imagine a lifetime dedicated to him. Just imagine what will come out of it. I don't know, maybe some of you are here that you have never even been— ever even in your life done this kind of fasting, and you did it, and you can see how, you know, not even talk about the, the, um, the, the reward that comes in terms of material things, but I'm talking about your character. You can see the change that, you know, God has accomplished in your life, how that, you know, habit that you are struggling, you know, to improve on, by the virtue of, you know, being a part of this fasting and prayer, it has come easier. It's even adapt and adjust. Now imagine you having this for a lifetime throughout this year, do you understand? Putting God first, daily prayer. And that's why we, you know, we have structures for daily— if you know us in this house, you know we don't joke with prayer. We have structures for daily prayer because a man that is not praying, playing— praying rather, is going to be an easy prey for the devil. It's going to be an easy prey for the devil. And that is why it is very important that you continue in this strength. You continue in this strength. You continue in this strength. You continue in this strength. You have to, you have to ensure that whatever, you know, happens going forward after the 30 days fasting and prayer is, is in line with God's will for you in this year. That is how to make best use of this. It's not just enough that you have started well, you must continue all through the way in that same Spirit of the Lord. You must allow God also dictate your next move after the fasting and prayer. You must have him, you must allow him take charge of everything you through. And I want us to pray this morning. I'm going to be praying for strength. We are going to be praying for strength by the mercies of the Lord, you know, the strength that comes upon a man that makes it easy for that man, you know, to stay, you know, to stay put on God. Bible says that all that wait upon the Lord shall not be weary. That is where our strength comes from, the strength that comes upon a man by the mercies of the Lord that makes it easy for such a man to align, to align step wisely with all that God has in plan for us. I want to pray for that, for that strength this evening. Now, in the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, by the mercies of the Lord, you, you, you, you, you, you, you walk through this year in the strength of the Lord. In the name of Jesus, in the name of— you will not be a one-off Christian. You know, we have prayed that God should remember us. It's not be that after God has remembered you, now God is begging you to remember him. It won't be like— do you understand? It won't be opposite for us, you know. And God was telling me, say, blessing us is not, is not an issue for him, say, but most times we Christians are the one, we, we are the one that dictates to him how far is too far for him to bless us. Because, you know, some people, he has given them, you know, just a tip of an iceberg of what he wants, and before you know it, Bible study and, and services all of a sudden just become one of those things that's optional for them, which wasn't so when they were looking for that. And you know, you just told God that this is how far you can handle, this is how far of his blessing that you cannot do. But if you see what— how the teaching that we have been going through in the house, even as a house, you know, we can know that God is ready for business with us this year. We want to build Goshen, and he's ready to take us far as much as we are ready. And that's why we want us to buy— it's not— it's not— I'm not going to be able to do it in our strength. It's going to be by the strength of the Lord. And that's why I want us to pray with so much sincerity of— I know you have many requests from God, but Please still pray this prayer. We're still going to come to the prayer of mercy, you know, for supplies, that the Lord is going to strengthen us to stay in alignment with his will all through this year and even beyond. In the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, ah, in the name of Jesus, we are elite soldiers and we see ourselves as such, people and men that God can commit kingdom treasures into our hands. In the name of Jesus. Our gaze is fixed on God in the name of Jesus. Our eyes is fixed on God in the name of Jesus. Our eyes is fixed on God in the name of Jesus. Our gaze gaze is fixed on God. Come on, I want you to pray with all your strength. Your gaze is fixed on God. If you know you need strength, you want to cry to God wherever you are, just be free to express yourself to God. Tell him to help you by his mercies in the name of Jesus. The kind of strength that helps a man to stay in the will of God perpetually. Because I tell you, sometimes you want to, you want to leave, you want to, you want to leave, but there's a strength that keeps you staying in him. Ah, there was a strength. Bible say he will keep him in his mind is stayed on him. He will give us, he will give us that peace that passes all understanding, you know, to stay perfect in his will. In the name of Jesus, our mind is stayed on God, our gaze is fixed on God. In the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus. And you know, that's one of the, that's one of the, you know, the structures we have put in place as a ministry, that after we have done our fasting and prayer where we give our first fruit to, to show to God that we are ready to go all the way this year, not in our strength, not in our wisdom, but in his strength and in his wisdom. First fruit is given to show our honor and our love to God. That is not a trade by barter, not because we are calculating that if I give this to him, then he's going to give me much more. Sometimes it doesn't come that way, but you can always be be sure, because I've been taught as a house that you must not just know how to give, you must also know how to receive. But you can be sure that definitely it's not never going to be a waste. And that's why we do this even as a house, to show to God that yes, we are committing all to his end. So if you are here, you have been contemplating, should I give my first fruit? How will I take care of myself? How will I do this? How will I do that? He said this is showing that you are still trying to do the year in your strength. Don't do it in your strength. God is ready to purpose. And there's a provision in God's mercies for that also. So I want you to pray in the name of Jesus that I see the bigger picture of this that God has started with me. I see the bigger picture of what this year holds for me. In the name of Jesus, I see the bigger picture. The picture is to be kingdom-minded with our resources, with everything that God is going to give us this year. And in the name of Jesus, we are able to see the bigger picture. Jesus, in the name of Jesus. God, through our Apostle, has been taking us through a series, you know, of being kingdom-minded, of being kingdom-minded. And you know, when you know what God wants to do with you, when God opens your eyes to see what God, you know, wants to do with you, there are things, there are certain things you will struggle with. Now, one of the things that helped Abraham when it was time for him and Lot, you know, to depart. You know, he had to come to Lot and say, no, let there be no strife between us. If you go to the left, I will go to the right. If you go to the east, I will go to the west. Because he knew, you know, he could see the bigger picture. He knew it was not— he wasn't doing that out of pity or out of emotional attachment to the fact that, ah, Lot is, you know, my family, let me just allow him take it. No, No, he did it out of a consciousness, and that played out in many, you know, of his many aspects of his journey till he, you know, he got to where God, you know, asked him to tabernacle. And, you know, he had that understanding that though God might be starting with me like this, he has made me father of nations and I'm going to get it. And that's one, that side, that side you also need it, you also need it, you also it to be able to, you know, to journey through this year, you know, by the mercies of the Lord, in accordance to your will. You also need it. You also need it. You also need it. I want you to tell God that, God, in the name of Jesus, help me to be kingdom-minded. You need God to help you. You need God to help because sometimes, you know, the things that you need can be so overwhelming that you, you, you are so particular about which God will give you. And whenever, eventually, when you get it, you are quick to move on, forgetting the reason. You know, God, you know, you know, I love God because one thing about God is that he loves us too much, you know, to leave us to ourselves. And there are some certain situations that he's going to orchestrate. I know that once this, you know, he does not bring trouble on us, but he maximizes opportunities of those things to, you know, to still bring us to him. And that's one of the operations of the mercies of But I mean, there's a situation where you have to come to him. Then once he has gotten your attention, he takes you through the process of letting you know that this is what I want to do with you, this is where I want to take you to, this is what I want you to do, use this for. And by the time you get it, you know, he desire that you won't move on from that, what those words that you have gotten, but you will receive them with the consciousness that this, you know, is for the kingdom. This is for the kingdom. And I want you to pray, I want you to pray before we move to the next prayer, that in the name of Jesus— let us— don't let us be distracted, let us focus, let us pray, don't let us be distracted in the comment section. I want us to focus and pray, I want us to focus and pray that in the name of Jesus we are kingdom-minded, we are kingdom-minded as it is, you know, God's plan for us in this season, in the name of Jesus. By the time we are finishing this 30 days fasting and prayer, we will not— that will not be the last time we're going to be fasting this year. There's going to be burden coming on us to even pray and fast for nations. So, you know, when Apostle was teaching in church yesterday, I just said to myself, what if we have intercessors that their own task is to just intercede for high-impact unbelievers? And know they gather and then they are saying Femi, we are— these guys don't know us, they don't even know we're interceding for them. You can think of the worst of sinners and we say these people are going to pray for them too, because we understand the strategy now that we know that we have to be strategic. We have to be strategic in, you know, getting influence to bring in larger harvest, you know. And we're going to ask people like that that are kingdom-minded that the burden of God is going to rest upon us in the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, that we have the burden, you know, to carry us even through this said, and even beyond, in the name of Jesus. You know, following his will and walking in alignment, in the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus. We are kingdom-minded, in the name of Jesus. M— by the mercies of the Lord, the Lord in his mercy is going to help us. It's going to help us just like Jesus Christ did. The Bible say, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross. Jesus himself was kingdom-minded. He knew what, what benefit is going to be for his death, you know, how that is going to be to gain even much more, even much more. He was focused on that. That in the name of Jesus, we are going to be kingdom-minded in all that we do, in all that we do. Even after this fasting and prayers, in the name of Jesus, we get burdens that is going to make us really even beyond now, in the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus. Oh Father, we give you the praise. In the name of Jesus, by the mercies of the Lord, we are here to stay in alignment. In the name of Jesus, we are here to stay in alignment by the mercies of the Lord. In the name of Jesus, our focus is on God, our gaze is on Christ, in the name of Jesus. Our gaze is on him, in the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus. None of us here will be missing, in the name of Jesus. At the end of this day, none of us will be missing or found wanting, in the name of Jesus, in the will of God, in the name of Jesus. We are energized by the Lord, we are strengthened by the Lord to work in alignment In the name of Jesus. See, you praying this prayer is you enlisting yourself as part of those that God wants to use dangerously in this time and days. God means business, and you, you see, you don't have to think about what you can do. It's not about what you can do, it's about your availability and your readiness to be used by God. Bible says God uses the foolish things of this world to confirm the wise. It doesn't matter how, when you join. Those that entered when Jesus Christ himself was giving parable about the reward is being done, those that entered 9 AM, 12 PM, 3 PM, 6 PM, they all got the same reward. What matter is that they came same to labor. Doesn't matter how much capacity they built. The one that was given 5 talents, the one that was given 2 talents, when they did the work, it was the same reward. Enter into the joy of your Father. That's all that's needed. Do you understand? So don't look at your strength. Just pray this prayer once again, that in the name of Jesus, I am helped. I am helped. I don't know why I'm not— I didn't plan to stay so much on this here, but maybe this is for someone to just help your realignment again, to help your focus again, that in the name of Jesus, that you are here with— there's any grace I know that's upon my life, the grace for preservation. Yes, that the Lord is going to help you in the name of Jesus. The Lord is going to help you. The Lord is going to help you. The Lord is going to help you to stay focused, to stay focused even after you've gotten your request. You're going to not be a one-off Christian, but you're going to be that one that God is going to use for his master plans in the name of Jesus in these days and time, in the name of Jesus. Father, we give you the praise. Hallelujah. We're going to be praying now on the mercies that preserves. I'm going to be praying on the mercies that preserves. I want us to open to Psalms 40. 11. I want to believe we are following and we are praying. Psalms 40:11. Hallelujah! The mercy that preserves, the mercy that preserves, that helps a man, you know, is the kind of mercy that, you know, there's a mercy that helps you out of troubles when you find yourself in you know, in unpleasant situations. There's the mercy that, you know, brings you out. But there's another operation. There's also an operation in God, the mercy that helps you not to even enter into trouble at all. It orders your step. It leads you. It guides you. It insists on you to do the right thing. There's such mercy. There's that kind of mercy that speaks over a man that makes it difficult or seemingly impossible or even impossible for such a man to even deviate out of the will of God. You know, a friend called me yesterday and, you know, she, she was telling me how that, you know, she had to just end the relationship with, you know, um, of course, um, Matic relationship. Relationship with, you know, person that I was thinking she was going to get married to. And, you know, I silently have been praying that God should just help her to make the right decision. You know, some people you see around, some side to side of people, I know that this person is not the person. But when two people are in love, you don't want to be the one to discourage them, right? The highest you can do if truly, you know, you love them is to pray, or you love your friend is to pray. And by herself yesterday, she called me. She said she had something just for me. I wasn't thinking about maybe marriage, like, ah, so she just wants to tell me that she's no longer with that person and that these, these are what she saw, you know. And thank God that God opened her eyes and everything. And I was just so grateful. And by herself, she said, this is God's mercy, this is God's mercy. Because if by herself she would have wanted to go ahead, but she knows that this is God's mercy. But there are some things you, you won't, you won't be able to do in your strength. No, it could have been a mercy for God to just— okay, there's a mercy in God that maybe eventually when she gets married to the person, God now, you know, have to have mercy to reroute and, you know, things like that. But there's a mercy that can help you not even enter into those troubles at all. I don't know if you get what I'm saying. There's a mercy that can even help you not even enter into, you know, into those mistakes at at all, that will help you, that will help you. Because one thing I want to believe, that we have prayed for God's mercy and God, you know, has helped us now, you know, to come in alignment to his will. Going forward, you want to now enter, you know, into that kind of mercy that we know that will help us to always stay put in him. And that's even the continuation of the first prayer, that our gaze will be fixed on him. That mercy that preserves, that mercy that that mercy that preserves, that mercy that, you know, we talked about the fact that God will always leave the 99 to chase the one. But there's a mercy that goes after the one. There's a mercy that makes you always part of the 99. Because the 99, they are busy with God, they are busy working for the kingdom, they are busy making exploit for the kingdom. The kingdom. The one also very useful as an addition to the kingdom. But you know, you want to be part of those that are laboring for the kingdom going forward. You don't want to be the one always being chased after. Of course, God is never tired of chasing after you, but I mean, time is going for yourself. You also need to gain for the kingdom. You also need to do more for the kingdom. And that's why you need to pray for that kind of mercy. So Psalms 40:11 Sorry, Psalms 40, verse— yes, verse 11 says, withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Lord. Let thy loving kindness and thy truth continually preserve me. So there's the mercy that preserves. That is called the tender mercies of God. There's the mercy that preserves. There's the mercy that, you know, that preserves, that preserves. We told thou not— we told not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Lord. Let thy loving kindness and that truth continually preserve me. Let it continually preserve me. Let your mercy continually preserve me. I want you to pray. I want you pray that the mercies of the Lord is going to preserve you. The mercy of the Lord is going to preserve you. The mercy of the Lord is going to preserve you now. Mercy that preserves speaks over you in the name of Jesus! The mercy that preserves speaks over you— that kind that helps you. Ah, see, you don't want to waste time more than you have wasted. I tell you, you don't want to waste time more than you have wasted. There's a lot there's a lot to be done, there's a lot to do, there's a lot you can do. And that's why you need to pray. And but again, you can't do it in your strength. It's still the mercies of the Lord that will make it possible. And that's why you have to cling. And I've showed us at first that the mercy of the Lord is plenteous, is everlasting. It is from everlasting to everlasting. But once you, you cling onto it, you have to, you have to, you have to make sure you don't lose that grip on it every day of your life. And that's all you have to pray, that the Lord is going to preserve you. And I know this Works. Ah, this works, so this works. I can never forget 10 hours prayer that we had with Apostle back then, some years ago on campus. That was one of the prayers that Apostle led us to pray. Oh Jesus. And that day I knew it, that hey, it will be impossible for some of us to go out of the will of God, not in our strength but by the mercies of the Lord. So there's a way you can pray this prayer and that mercy will be made available for you. The Lord is going to insist on you. The kind of mercy that insists on you not to go wrong, not to go out of his will, to stay put, not to even go out wasting years again. The mercy that preserves, that insists on you to do the— you don't see that you're just making the right decision. You just see by leadership that the Lord will place over your life, by friends that are going to be around you God is just going to be surrounding you with men that through them it's going to be impossible for you to go out of his way. I want you to pray for that mercy now. In the name of Jesus, the mercies that preserves, ah, I walk in it in the name of Jesus. I am preserved, I am preserved in the name of Jesus. The mercy that preserves, that preserves, that preserves from evil, that preserves from, from, from, from, you know, from deviating from his from God's plan over our lives. Lord, we cry for it this evening in the name of Jesus. We cry for it this evening. That mercy is— oh, ma sabre go shatala brenaki barate, eh, rembi bi bakozu bili, eleba rosa. In the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus. You know, you even try to, to even try to feel among, you even want to say, okay, God, you know what, I'm just done. I think I'm tired, I'm fed up. You know, some people come to that point, I say, like, see, I want to even go on by yourself. You just decide. I don't know if it has happened to anybody here. I just want to go and waste my life. And you even go there and just, it's just, even those people are telling you, what are you looking. Now what are you looking for? Like, you're— I don't want to speak Yoruba. What are you looking for? Like, you look so odd amidst us, do you understand? It is because God has marked you. It is the mercy that preserves. God has— this one, no, you remember Apostle Femi Lazarus would tell us that he was once a DJ. You can imagine, I'm supposed to be a DJ now. Devil is a bastard. Never. Do you understand? So you— that's why you need to pray, because some of you here, you are thinking, oh, this is all to me, there's nothing much to me. And Apostle Femi Lazarus could have said that during his own time too, until when, you know, the anointing came upon him and we could see that this is a— this is a gift to us, to not just us but to even generations to come. And there are many other people here that God also has great plan for. He I know it and I see it. And that's why you have to pray again, that in the name of Jesus, the mercy that preserves, the mercy that preserves, in the name of Jesus, I enter into the mercy that preserves. The mercy that preserves speaks for me in the name of Jesus, that no matter how hard you try, no matter how hard you try, you will never be able to fall out of God's way. Please pray. It is the tender mercies of God See, I see what happened to David. He could have fallen away. He had an example, Saul did. But there was a— there was an understanding that he had the tender mercies of God, and that was what helped him. That when he went— when he fell, when he failed, he knew what to pray, he knew what to say. I was going to, no matter what, you know, still stay put in God's way. And that was the tender mercies of the Lord, the loving kindness of the Lord, that in the name of Jesus, the mercy that preserves, you know, it's going to— I want us to pray, I want us to pray that in the name of Jesus, we are helped by the Lord, we are helped by the Lord. Mande bread osha. We are helped by the Lord. Please pray, please pray with all your strength that in the name of Jesus, I am preserved by the Lord. Ah, I am preserved by the mercies of the Lord. Lord, please help me. Lord, please help me. Lord, please help me. Help me, Lord. Help me, Lord. I am preserved by your strength. I am preserved by your help. In the name of Jesus, I am preserved by your mercies. By your mercies. By your mercies. In the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus, Lord, by your mercies. No, someone saying that Apostle can still be a DJ rolling out powerful songs for dance, but that will not be what God had in plan for him. And I'm telling you, there's nothing as beautiful as you being in God's perfect way and not in his permissive way. There's nothing as beautiful as have that. So you want to pray that Lord will help you to stay in his way by his mercies, in the name of Jesus. By his mercies, by his mercies, in the name of Jesus. By his mercies, in the name of Jesus. Ah, by his mercies, by his mercies. In the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus. The Bible says in Psalms 21:7, Psalms 21:7. He said, for the king trusts in the Lord, and through the mercies of the Most High, he shall not be moved. Through the mercies of the Most High, he shall not be moved. I'm going to pray. The Lord, by your mercies, I will not be moved this year. I will not be moved. Rumors of war, of pestilence, of destructions, I will not be moved. We are going to pray for you and your household, that in the name of Jesus, I pray for every family represented here under the grace of Apostle, that nobody yet shall be missing, nothing missing, nothing broken. By the time this year comes to an end, we shall not be moved. It shall not be moved in the name of Jesus. We shall not be moved. In the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, as the Lord in you know, you know, is helping everyone to come into alignment, bringing kingdom-minded and helping all of us to take our standing in, in, in these last days and time. In the name of Jesus, we shall not be moved. In the name of Jesus, we shall not be moved. There's an exchange of words to, to kingdom-minded people that in the name of Jesus, we shall not be moved. In the name of Jesus, we shall not be moved. The Lord is going to order our steps, helps us to make the right decision in the name of Jesus. The devourers are rebuked for our sakes by the mercies of the Lord. In the name of Jesus, I decree upon you that the devourers are rebuked for your sake by the mercies of the Lord, by the mercies of the Lord, by the mercies of the Lord. In the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus. And I want to decree to every family represented here, under the grace of Apostle— you know, God led me, God's leading me to do that, that every family represented this year. There shall be an avalanche of joy, an experience of joy all through this year, much more than you have ever experienced before, in the name of Jesus. No matter what the devil has planned, by the mercies of the Lord, joy shall be our testimonies. Yes, that shall be our testimony this year. That shall be our testimony, much more than you have experienced before in previous years. Some of you, probably you even had so much sorrows last year, but God said I should tell you that there be joy for you in this year. That shall be your experience in this year. And I want you to, to, to claim that by faith, that in the name of Jesus, joy shall be your experience. In the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, in the name of— we insist on that word— in the name of Jesus, the joy of the Lord shall be our experience. Oh Father, we give you praise this evening! Thank you Jesus, thank you Lord! Ha! Lord, we are grateful because we know that when we pray, You answer us. This is the confidence that we have in Christ. This is the confidence that we have in Christ— anything that we ask in His name, in accordance to his will, he yeses it for us. Hears us, he grants our request. Lord, we are grateful because we know that we all here have been marked, marked to stay put in your will. In the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, we go in this year with the strength of the Lord as we've started this fasting and prayer to prepare our ground ahead of this year, that in the name of Jesus, nobody here shall be missing in your will. In the name of Jesus, no falling mouth, your mercy will preserve us in the name of Jesus, to keep us numbered in the 99, in the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus. We are kingdom-minded, as you lead us to sow, to give, to give our strength, everything that we have, not just our resources, even our, our life, you know, pray and do every, you know, thing that you require from us in the name of Jesus, you know, be exploits even for you in our different fields, and Lord, by his mercy, will help us in the name of Jesus.
