EMPOWERMENT SUMMIT WITH APOSTLE FEMI LAZARUS

We are standing here representing Scotland. This land has ears. This land can hear what the Spirit is saying. We prayed for Glasgow and Glasgow is prospering. We are praying for Scotland for a move of God, move of God in this land. Let the saints be awakened in the name of Jesus. It's time to arise, oh children of God. It's time for us to take our place in this nation. We wake up every sleeping giant amongst us in the name of Jesus. Oh, make a Come on, come on, come on! Rise up, you hear it, army of God!

Yes!

Giants!

Let your light so shine! Let your light so shine! In Jesus' name we are free.

Amen. I know some of us came here to hear a word for our lives, and I'm sure you're not here because of you want to buy a house or a car, because the assignment is beyond you. Amen. The assignment for this nation is beyond you. And we have come to be ignited because your life can never remain the same. Somebody say amen. Ah, you're saying amen as if you've gone home. Amen. Hallelujah. You may be seated. Sit majestically.

Wow, wow, wow.

Is someone excited? Why did you come late? Because I can see some people standing. Why, why did you come late? Okay, amen. We apologize. We are gonna put— you can bring people, two people. Okay, Prosper, you can move forward. Amen. All right, we are not gonna waste time at at all. But before I bring up our guests, I don't know how many of you are excited to have him in Glasgow. Let me tell you this, this meeting is like the story of the woman with the issue of blood. You know, Jesus was just going on his own, he was going to Jairus's house, and the woman interrupted his itinerary. Itinerary. So we have interrupted— are you here, choir? So we have interrupted the itinerary, and I know it's for a reason, it's for a purpose. God has ordained this, and the reason is because he wants some ignited children in Scotland. Amen. Because I didn't know we had this number of Christians in Scotland. So we want to shake this nation. Come on! Amen! And, um, for those of you who do not know, this program is hosted by The Esther's Company. If you've never had— calm down, calm down. If you've never heard of The Esther's The Esther's Company, can you give them a wave if you've never heard? What?

Where have you been?

All right, all right, so ask me later. I don't want to waste time. Ask me about the Esther's Company. But this is hosted by the Esther's Company, and we are so privileged to be hosting a man of God that I follow. I follow him, and I call him a man of my tribe. Because he speaks my language, you know, and I respect him so much. So I asked my pastor, I said, because this is a weekday, we need venue, what's up? And my pastor, being a kingdom man—

give it up for Bishop!

Okay, I'm wasting time, right? So Bishek said, well, I don't know if people would turn up, you know, it's a weekday, it's a Wednesday. I said, well, Bishek, let me confess to you, Ruth said she's praying that God will soften your heart. So our prayer worked. Even though I know my pastor doesn't have a hard heart. He's a man of God, and my pastor is a Christian. Amen. Yeah, some pastors— well, let's not go there. Hallelujah. All right, so without wasting much time, I want to invite the messenger, the one that God has sent. I hope you have your notepads. Because this is not livestreamed, it will be recorded, but I can't guarantee you will get the recording. So listen and take notes. Amen. All right, let's make welcome Apostle Femi Lazarus.

Amen, amen, amen. Amen. All right, good to be in Scotland. Amen. I'm so excited to be here. Um, first thing first, how are you guys coping with this cold? And I came out of the airport, I said, where am I? Okay, all right, um, before I celebrate Pastor on behalf of myself, to Esther's company. I like to honor Pastor. Amen. You know, um, from the moment I, I met I just felt more at home with this meeting. He took me out to eat macaroni and meatballs, hot chocolate. I mean, thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. Thank you. And Pastor, thank you so much for this honor. So I, I will not see this meeting as an interruption, rather see it as a divine arrangement. I think God arranged it once she, when she reached out to me, and then he said, I suppose you had to Ah, God, she can't ask me for anything twice, just once. It's a door perpetually opened. It's a door open. Okay, thank you, Father. Are we ready for strong meat tonight? Should we go a bit deeper or we stay on the surface? All right, Father, we give you praise and we thank you because there's none like you. There's none to be compared to you. You are God all by yourself. Thank you, Lord. Tonight, speak through these lips of clay and let life be released. Thank you, Father, in Jesus' mighty name. Amen. You may please be seated. Please stay on strings. Um, I function in the prophetic office, so I— we have a very short time and, um, we try to compress a lot. Just softly, very soft. Try to compress a lot in that short time so that we can maximize that. All right, are you with me? This one I'm wearing, this guy, once the cold change hands, I'll drop mic, then go and wear my— All right, I think 3 weeks ago I was in there. Where was that again? Bournemouth. I thought I was under attack. I didn't know it was cold. All right, I mean, the theme of this meeting is a strong one, so Let's turn our Bibles quickly to the book of Matthew chapter number 11. Matthew chapter number 11 from verse 28. Popular scripture, all right. Matthew 11 from verse 28. If you're with me, say amen. Okay, it's not being projected. All right, let me read from here. If you're there, say amen again.

Amen.

Said, come to me, all you that labor, and I have your burden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke on you, learn of me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you shall find rest to your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden light. So I'm going to read from Message translation because my topic is hidden somewhere in Message translation. Femi Lazarus. Are you tired? Okay, I've started reading the Bible. You're welcome, you're welcome. Are you tired, worn out, burned out on religion? Come to me, get away with me. And you will recover your life. I will show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and walk with me. Watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you will learn to live freely and lightly. Is that not powerful? So the Bible is saying— I'm going to be teaching briefly on the topic, the unforced rhythm of grace. The unforced forced rhythm of grace. Are you with me? So I'm going to take this Bible study like I'm at home, because I'm at home. So I want us to, um, pay very keen attention. There was a prophecy ahead of, some two young men in the book of Genesis, and it's quite a difficult one for any mother or any father. In fact, Romans chapter number 9 captured their situation in a different light, maybe with better light. A woman was pregnant and she noticed that There were rumblings, just too much. Then she went to inquire, and God said, two nations are inside of you. Said, but the elder will serve the younger. And Rebecca kept that statement in her heart. Okay, would you like to see the way Romans captured it? Let's look at the book of Romans chapter number 9. If you are there, say amen.

Amen.

Let me Jump a bit. Romans 9, from— let's start the reading from verse 8. That is, they which are children of the flesh, these are not the children of God, but children of promise and all that. Let's jump a bit. Verse 9 now. For this is the word of promise: At this time I will come, and Sarah will have a son. And not only this, but when Rebekah also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac, for the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth, it was said to her, the elder shall serve the younger. As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I what? This doesn't, doesn't make sense. Have you watched football before? When you see a biased referee, huh? When the referee is biased, Huh? Have you seen— you guys don't watch ball here? I used to watch ball. I was supporting Chelsea till they almost gave me heart attack, so I ran, um, went to Arsenal. I didn't know it was high blood pressure. Now I follow God. Just follow God. But God looked like a biased referee here because the Bible is saying that the children had not been born when he decided. The same way someone can feel that it's like destiny was decided against me It's okay to like to be a Jacob, but it's not fun for an Esau. Um, it's not fun for him. If he could meet God face to face, the question he will ask is, what have I done? God did not say, Esau, have I disliked? He said, have I hated?

Ah, ah. Why?

Is God bad? What has he done that much? So these, these are questions many students of the Bible have asked over the years. I've tried to answer it in a very simple way. The one who is talking is not talking from your realm. Um, some people said, uh, but I've given very simple illustration. If a new movie is out and I have seen the movie but you have not, and we are watching the movie together If I say I like this guy, it is because I have seen the end from the beginning. God is not in time. He's speaking from what he has seen played out. So he also said something concerning you. He said, I know the thought that I think towards you. They are thought of peace, not of evil, to give you unexpected, meaning that our hand was sealed before the beginning. If you understand this, I can take authority over anything called sickness, that it can't be your hand. I didn't hear amen to that. I said it can't be your— so that was where God was speaking from. And if we even take time to journey into the story of Esau, at least in their generation, Esau prospered more. Sometimes prophecy can make a person complacent. It is not compulsory that you are the one that fulfill the prophecies that have gone ahead. If you become a joker, hands do cross. Joseph positioned Ephraim and Manasseh before Jacob. Jacob was blind, but the right hand went to the one who was under the right hand of God. It is not the day a man gets rejected that is rejected. The exams of destiny don't have date. One day, so Samuel stood in the house of Jesse and Eliab stood there, and God said, don't look at his stature, I have refused him. I have refused him means that he was once a consideration without knowing. Let me tell you something, if you lose what you don't know is yours, it is a dangerous thing to lose. Because when the rest are praying for restoration, you'll be laughing. How can you cry for what you didn't know was yours? There are people now that God is thinking about Plan B of what they can become, because the injury they have done to themselves, it will take more than a lifetime to repair it. Restoration is not magic. Some are in Plan C at 30. You will not miss God's plan.

Amen.

Ah, they are not saying amen well here.

Amen.

You will not miss God's plan.

Amen.

It's a very strange stuff. The Bible said, let the right— let your hand be upon the man of your right hand. Okay, so I'm going somewhere. One day, so Isaac was about to die, um, Isaac now, and then he told Esau, go and get me a venison, said I want to eat it. Give you what God said is not yours, then I will go. God already told them. Listen to what I'm saying. There are divides to this one.

I—

if we go one, we will stay too long. So let me just maintain the time, because here time is money. Maybe I should take your time, Don. Ask How much is the minimum? Let's, let's share. All right, that's on a lighter note. So the guy decided, Esau, you are the one I want to give. But the baker heard. Talking about the unforced rhythm of grace, right? Who heard? Was it Jacob? So talk about divine positioning. Even Jacob was not divinely positioned. Positioned. Sometimes you are not the one to be positioned, it is your helper that needs to be positioned. Jacob, Jacob didn't hear, he was doing his own stuff. All right, so the guy, the mother called him and said, Jacob, your father wants to give the blessing to your brother. He said, quickly do what I will tell you, go and get me a ram, a it there. I will kill it. You know, the, the father said he wants to eat a venison. That's the meat of a deer. But women are powerful. She knows how to prepare a goat to taste like a deer. Are you with me? Yes, sir. I want to show you something. So when she finished making it The Bible said she took— please come— she took the skin of the goat or the ram that died. Please stand there. And covered him with it. Then Jacob said, if I stand before my father and he find out I am Jacob, He will curse me. Instead of being blessed, he will be cursed. Rebecca said, let the curse be on me. Ah, people that will carry your matter on their head. Ah, say let the curse— hope you know what was playing out here. What the mother clothed him with is a typology of what Christ will later do. As our sacrificial lamb, we can now come in with this boldness before the throne of grace.

Amen.

So he took the venison there, then the father asked him, who are you? He said, I am Esau. A question he will later have to answer again. Tell him Esau. Her father said, come. And he came near, he touched him. He said, this is the skin of Esau but the voice of Jacob. So in Genesis 27:27, the man still— the man knows that the boy is a deceiver. So he brought him close again, then he said he wanted to kiss him. Then he smelled the smell of his raiment. That's what was the raiment?

The—

what was killed for him to stand in that position? Are you with me? That was what he smelled. And he said, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field that the Lord has blessed. Venison was to provoke blessing, but the smell of the raiment provoked the blessing. The picture here is the picture of forced redeem of grace. It is not unforced. If it is unforced, you won't have to lie, because sometimes there is fear. Let's bring this home. How can God tell you— now I speak in my office as a prophet— that somebody is your husband and the person is having introduction with another person and you prayed? God did not say otherwise. Listen to me. There are times that God will lead you in a direction that you will exhaust your intelligence. Are you with me? You are too active and you are creative. Your creativity will be exhausted except a grain of wheat first fall to the ground and die. You— the point of I know what to do you will exhaust knowing what to do. It is when you come to the end of yourself that you now have the beginning of him. If they can project scriptures, I would have wanted them to project Matthew 5:3. If— can they, can they project scriptures? Okay, not today. Okay, if you can read Matthew 5:3 Message Translation, it says you are blessed when you are at the end of your rope. For with less of you, there's more of God and of his own. So there is a dimension that you don't enter until you end. Hello, are you with me? How can God tell you that something is yours and before your two eyes it is going? Your creativity will want to fight.

Ah, let me—

what can I do? How can I outsmart process? But that's not the pattern of grace. Are you with me? I mean, if you were Jacob, what would you have done? Because God already said that you are the one to get the blessing. And the father— if there's anything I pick from this scripture, this smell of the raiment was enough to qualify him, not the lies. It was enough. And when you start with a lie, you'll have to continue on it. Are you with me? So he had to start living a life of lies and, and, and tricky planting. And that's, that's, that's what is happening to many people. They are trying to force it. If God said it, it is not your business to know the how. There are promises God will give you, you can't— your head is too small to capture the method. Are you with me? Ah, a prophecy went ahead now that by this time tomorrow a measure of wheat will be sold for a shekel. For a land that has been going through famine so much, so women were eating their children. How do you tell a nation you move from extreme famine to extreme abundance? God does not need eternity to do eternal things. He is God. I take a moment to describe him. In the wilderness, they challenged Moses and they said, we want to eat meat. What is this nonsense this God is giving us? What's this manna? Moses— and they were going to stone Moses to death. Moses went to cry to God. God said, go and tell them, by this time tomorrow, I will give them meat. It will come out of their nostrils. The one who is speaking is the one who has no limitation in his dictionary. Don't you understand? When he says by this time next year you are carrying your baby, who are you to doubt? The one who can create a womb in the one who doesn't have one, how much more the one who has womb? He said, I am the God of all flesh. Is there anything, anything too difficult? What is cancer? By the breath of his nostrils. The sea fled. Sea, not your swimming pool. Sea. Mountains skipped like rams, little hills like lambs. What ailed thee, thou sea, that you fled? Say, tremble thou at the presence of the God. He didn't even speak, just his presence enough. Are you following what I'm saying here? You are too— you are— once you are too smart, you can't figure out— stop it. Tell your neighbor, submit to the unforced rhythm of grace. Tell another neighbor, submit to the unforced rhythm of grace. Are you with me? What did God do when they were in that sea? It was wind that brought quails, whether from anywhere in the world, brought the quail to their camp. Eat it on the ground so much so he couldn't move anywhere. Everywhere they turn, meat. The hand of God is not short. Now let me see, let me say this to you: when you grumble and God is forced to do it because of your murmuring, you will not enjoy it. You are testing the God of Jacob. Let's give him a big answer. Please be seated for a while. Are you with me? Are you with me? When you grumble, when will you do my own? When he has said he will do it, what kind of nonsense is this? We don't even know the God we are— you won't enjoy it. Faith is reckless abandon. Ah, thank you, Lord. Are you with me? Are you sure? Are you with me? I want to describe a situation. I'm careful because I know bloggers follow me everywhere. I'm telling you. To give a word will make news. We are here. But listen to this. I think this is the most impossible situation somebody described to me. A woman reached out to me. She was married to her husband, married for 3 years. Was it 3 years? 3 years. Then the man just got up, went to work, never returned back. Every effort— he was reaching the wife, said, well, this, this— every effort to get him to come back home was futile. Every effort just went out, never came back. Before you know it, after about another 2 years, did church wedding with another girl, and they started living together. And then had a child. She came to meet me, said, this is my husband, legally married. What is this? Ah, told her the question God asked Ezekiel, can these dry bones live? The guy had to say, God, you know, because When God asks you questions, it is not because he's deficient. He wants to see your level. Better return. Say, you know, pray the very simple prayer. 2 weeks later, the guy got up in the middle of the night and started asking, where's my wife? He said, ah, what do you mean? Say, I'm your wife. Say, you, who are you? Where's my wife? Apparently they gave him something, and that's how he said— many drama happen, but I don't want to go into it because it will look controversial. If there's anything that looks irreversible, in the name that is above all names Tonight they are reversed. If there's any situation that looks irreparable, in the name that is above all names, tonight they are repaired. In the name of Jesus, they are repaired. Are you with me? Femi Lazarus. We couldn't blame, um, Jacob that much. Sometimes prophecies has gone ahead of you that this and this is your life, and you are watching your life go the direct opposite. It will want to inspire some measure of creativity. That will be you forcing what should be an unforced rhythm. Are you with me? If Femi Lazarus— ah, ah, they've said God is good, I'm the one that is going to change everything. Say what is available now is cybercrime. You cannot do in the flesh what was spoken in the spirit. You cannot, you cannot. If it is said in the spirit, it will be done by the spirit, all right, by God through his inspiration. Are you following what I'm saying here? And the guy kept being dubious, up and down, strange stuff, until finally he got tired. How can the seed of Abraham use 14 solid years of his life to toast a babe?

14.

What kind of bride price do you pay with time? Are you with me now? He said, eh, eh, I, I want, I want Rachel. He said, I'm going to pay for 7 years. You know, he was thinking the father will say, don't bother. Have you tried to eat? Somebody just call you, come and eat, expecting that you say thank you. Say, where's the spoon? Where's second spoon? Where's the spoon? Man, okay. Then they pack it, Leah. Say, Leah, who is Leah? Is not what I want. Another 7 years. His life, seed of Abraham, seed of Abraham. See what he's doing with his time. Another 7 years. And he went to give it another 7. Hey, somebody's distracting me here. Are you with me now? Give another 7 years. But are you, are you seeing that Leah was the unforced redeem of grace? Because Leah was the one, the loins of the Messiah. Rachel, forced grace that died just few years after and brought many problems to him. Sometimes God gives you something simply, but you feel it didn't come through the labor required, so you despise. Are you following what I'm saying here? Beware of trading those things that came early by grace It is more difficult to look for the bed right you despised. You begin to sense the anointing of God upon your life. Some things are happening. Don't toy away the anointing. You don't want to see what an ex-anointed looks like. There's no beauty being a former champion. The moment Samson was gotten, the first thing they did was to remove the eyes. Even if strength returns, be a champion without direction, there's no beauty. There's no beauty. I shared before, I think the Holy Spirit is leading me in this direction. Let me talk something here. I was in a meeting to pray for, um, someone celebrating her 50th birthday, um, and, um, a man came in, um, in his 80s old. Walk into that meeting, I recognized the man because some years back I was in a meeting where the man was ordaining a minister into ministry. The old man is still standing, but the one he ordained has fallen out. Ah, may what kept the fathers keep you. Amen. Ah, they didn't say amen here. Once, once they got Samson, plucked off his eyes and said, you are the strong man, use that energy to grind wheat. And it became a sport to them. When the demons a man has casted out on campus are now living in his bedroom with him because he didn't ask God about who to marry. One of the areas the devil is destroying many lives is wrong marriage. A girl that God has invested so much in is married to a guy who is saying, "Hi guys, what's up, what's up?" Swinging gold teeth. "I just like him like that." I like them with the touch of bad boys. I just, I like them wild. Tiger is wild. Just a matter of time to tear you. Why did you forget that there was a calling on your life and the decisions you are making now does not reflect the fact that one day God called you? Why, why did you forget what he told you in the days you were fasting? All right, why are you now making decisions that is not reflecting? We are not seeing sacrifice about the calling. Your decision is not reflecting the one who heard God. I know what I'm saying like I know my name. You must repent. When he said, you heard him. And the proof that you heard this call is that when you want to make a decision, you give room to ventilate the calling. Everything done is in respect to what he said. It takes preeminence. The moment you make it number 2, you are out of the race. Are you with me now? Because Samson said, give me that woman, I want her. Delilah told him, now show me where your strength is that I may afflict you. Why didn't he hear that? Because the discernment has been dying over time. Nobody falls suddenly. The devil wears people out till, till they get to a point that even if it is 5 minutes prayer that will save their life, they can't pray. To save their own life. There's no such thing as if you don't pray, when trouble comes you pray. Na lie! If you don't learn how to pray, even when you are seeing your death, you will still not know how to pray. Prayer is a muscle you build. It takes consistency.

It takes time.

When you have the opportunity, maximize it. Are you with me now? Even if you're in a meeting and they say 2 minutes, let's everyone in tongues. That 2 minutes is an addition. Prayer can never be a waste of time. It can't be. And we must learn it because one day our lives depends on it. Delilah told him, I want to waste you. Show me where your strength is. Everything is said before she did, till he said Cut the locks on my head and I will be like other men. And she did and called him, and the Bible said he got up like he used to, and he did not know that the Lord has left him. And that day, the mighty Samson who carry, you know, One time he went to the house of an allot, and they said, Samson, the Philistines are here. You know what he did? He came out and removed the gate and put on his shoulder. He went to climb a mountain with the gate. Who want to attack such a man? When you begin to use power to answer the questions of consecration, you're on your way to the grave. When what gives you the proof that you are standing is the anointing, you are on your way to the grave. The anointing is not a proof that you are aligned. It is a sign that there was a time you were aligned. It is not the definition of your current state. Our generation have not been able to distinguish between charisma and the presence. A man can have courage, but God is not there. I've seen play where people are very loud, every instrument check, but I know the taste of Jehovah in the meeting, and I couldn't find him. But I saw people crying. Emotions can steer it, but when God is in a place, he bears witness. Are you with me?

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir. God was gone. But mercy did something. He put the power in what can grow.

Yes, sir.

In what can grow. And maybe tonight, because when they were afflicting him, they didn't know that the hair began to grow faster. The hair can grow back in this meeting tonight. I didn't hear the amen loud enough. The air, we can have a complete cycle. Somebody called by God at this season to be a voice to witness to people, and you, you, you, you, it looks like you are looking, where is this calling? Where was the anointing that came when he spoke? I say it's growing back now, and, and you begin to sense that, hold on a minute, I can— I, I know the stirring of God in my spirit like I used to, and now I can find it back. There's a fanning to flame, there's a stirring. Um, that's why I said this meeting is not a mistake. Um, one of the things God told me while I was praying, he said, gather my servant. It's like the day that Jacob called his sons and said, gather yourselves, you sons of Jacob, that I may tell you what will befall you in the last days. He called you here and many of you didn't know why until you came. The shofar has been sound. There is, there is a new trip. It is no longer business as usual. There is a new trip. There's a new journey. Are you, are you following what I'm saying? There's a new what? And amongst us there are Samsons whose hair will find expression. Hey, are you with me now? Amongst us there are Esthers, because Esther did not know. Esther thought that she was just a girl like every other person, but Mordecai said, don't think that when this guy do what he wants to do When he start doing it, don't think you will escape. Said, maybe God has sent you here for such a time as this, but if you fail to rise, will God raise deliverance from another quarter? Esther said— and that's where we have Esther's company. He said, I and my maiden will go and fast. Hm? Mordecai, you tell the people fast for us. The company of Esther goes on the strength of prayer and fasting. Are you with me? He said, if I die, I die. If I perish, that's where real work starts from. They love not their lives unto death. That, that's, that's where real work— that's, that's where we start from. There is a combination of the Samsas and the Esthers. The sound, the sound, the sound, the sound, the alarm, the alarm, ah, is here. You know what happened in Matthew 25? All the virgins, foolish and wise, slept. There comes a time that lukewarmness is general, but we are at the mercy of one thing. Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, sound the alarm. So I have come to raise an alarm that it's time to be quickened. We have work ahead of us. I'm going to come back to the unforced rhythm of grace. We have what?

Work.

God said to tell Jonah, who is on his way to Tarshish, what I said was Nineveh. You have not heard from me Because I have not changed what I said. Hm? And sometimes it looks like you're in the belly of a fish. It's not a good place for 3 days, and the fish will take you back to where? Nineveh. Stretch out your right hand, everyone. If truly there are callings here that must find expression back in this season. There are graces, prophets— I don't know why I get that word— there are prophets, apostles, teachers, evangelists, different dimensions of the calling that are hidden and nobody knows. God said, because the hand is here, I am flipping back my strategy. You are my strategy, says the Lord. You are my strategy. You are my strategy. The strategy of God is men. First, there is going to be the return of the anointing you used to see when he once said it. And Father, if this is your word, And if this is what you are doing now, I want the ushers to be very active now. From my— from the back to the middle, everywhere. Let angels representing various callings begin to administer it now. Let the hairs of Samson begin to grow now. You have to hold them because it's going to be quite wild. Let the anointing that was once there such as he placed upon your life, the things he said, the graces, the graces. Let, let there be a recalibration. Let, let mantles find rightful owners. Let mantles find rightful owners. For the set time is here. The set time is here. The set time is here. The set time is here. Yes, the utterance, what he placed on your lips, what he said to say, that word is back. Your hair is growing back. Your hair, your hair, your hair. Your hair.

Oh yes.

Till I look more like you, until my only gaze is you. Spirit, keep brooding over till I look more like you. Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, oh yes.

Lion roar, eagles fly.

It's in you, you were meant to fly. Lion roar, eagles fly. Eagles, it's in you, you were meant to fly. Lion roar, eagles fly. Eagles, eagles, it's in you, you were meant to fly. Lions roar, eagles fly. Oh, it's in you, you were meant to fly. Amen, amen. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Just help those under the anointing sit down for a while. Step out of the darkness of shame you have wrapped yourself in. There is hope for a tree that is cut down, because at the scent of water it shall spring back to life again. Thank you, Lord. Um, there are— you see, the, the unforced rhythm of grace, that which is not forced, is to, to be in the exact place of destiny that God will have you be. You don't force it at that level. That's why the exam Jacob failed. When he met the angel of the Lord, his request was, you have to bless me, I won't let you go, because he knew he was not blessed. He knew the lion didn't give him. And the angel asked him the same question you answered then, what Isaac asked you then. That's where your problem started from. What is your name? Let's see whether you lie one more time. Was that not where the problem started from? The last time this question was asked, what did you say?

Esau.

He said, no, I'm at the end of my rope. I can't lie anymore. I've seen life. I am Jacob. He said, your name will no longer be called Jacob but Israel, for as a prince you have wrestled with God and you have prevailed. There's a change of name for somebody here.

Amen!

There's a change of name for somebody here. Amen! Ah, I didn't hear the amen well enough. There's, there's a change of name for somebody here. The Esther's may be fine, but they are placed in the palace prophetically. One of the things God is doing in the last days is that he's strategically positioning his own. Strategically. There are people who are seated here who thought, I'm just in Glasgow. But God is hiding you for a while because if he shows you what he intends to do with you, you may either run or become too proud. Sometimes in meetings like this, there can be a thousand prophecies, but none of them is in your direction. But you can't miss your anointing. Just help that person. You can't miss. What is yours. There is a very strong prophetic awareness that God is resurging in this meeting. Is that okay? You will become more prophetically aware. I'm seeing those, um, that used to be so deep. There are seeing prophets, those who see in visions, trances. Uh, you—

where are they?

There are— there is— I stand in that office, so I know what I'm saying. There is a resurging. If, if, if, if, if there are prophets here, whether prophetic minstrels who ministers in songs, prophetic writers, prophet in their calling, Male or female, wherever they are hiding, there is, there is a clarion call and there's a battle cry. There is a— but there is an assignment that you can no longer hide. Your comfort zone is no longer comfortable because there's a clarion call. There's an awakening, there's an awakening, there's an awakening.

There's an awakening.

There's an awakening. There's, there's an awakening. There's an awakening. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Oh Lord, help us. You won't be able to hide for too long. When God called Jeremiah, he said, I can't, I'm a child. And God told him, don't say again that you're a child, for before you were formed, I ordained you a prophet. The mantle is older than you. You are the continuation of a project that stopped. There are people here that God began— you know, Abraham was not the first. Tara settled. God began with somebody, but they didn't see it through, and that mantle didn't leave. It is still hovering. There are sons of pastors and daughters of pastors here. The mantle is not visiting that lineage to leave. God seeks continuity. And you are picking yours here. There's nothing you can do about it. Nothing you can do about it. Graces that have not been able to find expression 3 generations.

Abba!

God is not about to leave you for another generation. Lift your hands. Say, I receive what is mine. I enter into my ordination. I enter into my ordination. I receive what is mine. Come on, say it loud and clear. I receive. You provide the fire. You provide the sacrifice, you provide the spirit, you provide the spirit. I will open up inside, I will open up inside. Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes. You provide the fire, I provide You provide the sacrifice. You provide the spirit. You provide the spirit. I will open up inside. I will open up inside.

You be a God.

Thank you, Lord. All eyes closed. Um, I'm seeing a young lady in this meeting that God gave an instruction to organize worship meetings. Is a worship and spirit meetings. There's a worship meeting that you have declined. I'm— there's a young— there's a worshipper in Nigeria. I'm seeing the same mantle on you. I don't want to call the name of the person, and this is something that should come on you on the go. You are not supposed to hide because there are destinies connected to the instruction about that worship meeting. So the, the fire such that you will not be able to stay convenient anymore. If truly this is the word of the Lord, Father, search that girl out now by a mark of fire from the crown of her head to the sole of her feet. Now listen, one of the new manifestations, there will be a sign and a witness to you, because you're a lady that like proofs, is that it doesn't matter how dead an atmosphere is, when you raise a sound, it will show up. So he's giving you the gift of his presence. Father, search that person out. Touch her now! You will no longer be able to keep it. Just, just help her. Just help her. Amen. Amen. Now listen to this. There are people here. This, this is a— this meeting, God— it was like we played into God's hands. It's like the case of Jacob that said, the Lord was here and I didn't know it. God wants to There are broken bridges that he wants to connect back. There are, there are broken bridges, generational callings that somebody misbehaved and there was a gap, and God is rebuilding the bridge. There are people here who know that there's a grace upon my lineage Seeing somebody's grandma on their knees and releasing words of prophecies, those things will not die. They will recondition your life. You see, you struggle when you wrestle against the direction God is going. To, to, to submit to it will carry you like a wave. In that calling is all that you need for life and godliness. You, you can't run from it now. Where was Saul of Tarsus going to? To Jesus. We say you can't kick against the bricks, it is hard for you. There is a voice of come back tonight. I want all eyes closed. When I gave the case of Samson whose hair needs to grow, You know that is you. Stand up quickly now. Come out in a moment. Please don't, don't hide yourself. Come out in a moment. It's a very crucial part of this meeting. Come out in a moment. You knew it. You knew it that it's time to get back It's time to fall back in the line. It's time to stand back where he placed me. It's time to, to, to get back. Just, just because one of the things happening as I speak— I, I don't have to lay hands on you because I'm not going to— is that the anointing that used to be there, huh? That same presence is back from the moment you stepped out. That grace is back, it's back, it's back, it's back. Just help her. That same grace, that same calling, that same presence is back, it's back, it's back, it's back. It is a resurgence. Ah, it's connecting you back to what it started. Just help those under the anointing. There's someone here with the spirit of wisdom. There's an operation ceaseless, ceaseless. You were right, you were right. Where's that person? You were right. Grace to write ceaselessly. Are you the one? Just lift your hands and say, I receive it. It's back, it's back, it's back, it's back, it's back. Touch us with Holy Spirit. It's back, it's back, it's back, it's back. Lift your hands, those of you in front, and say, Father, I, I, I'm back, I'm back, I'm back, I'm back. I'm back to what you said. I'm back, I'm back. There's somebody here God is giving deeper meaning of the call. You, you didn't know how deep it was, but your eyes are opened to see and to understand what it is. The presence of the Lord is here, is here. That same grace, that same grace, that same grace. That same grace, that same grace. Oh, sweet Holy Spirit, sweet Holy Spirit. Oh, thank you, Lord. Amen. Those of you outside, stretch out your two hands. Stretch out your two hands quickly. Just help them, help them, help them, help them. A woman of God in black, come. There's, there's an overwhelming grace. Lift up your hands. There's an overwhelming grace on your life. Lift up your hands. I saw an oil being poured from your head. All right, it's the blessing of the presence, an overwhelming Now those of us at the back, stretch your hands towards these people. Those of you in front, stretch your hands towards the altar. Stretch your hands, stretch your hands, stretch your hands, stretch. There's a reconnection back, huh? That same grace, that same grace, that same grace, that same grace. Prayer movement! Prayer, prayer, prayer, prayer! Get to the place of prayer! Get to the place of prayer! Get to the place of prayer! What's his name? Get to the place of prayer. Is that okay now? Something is crystallizing. Get to the place of prayer.

Yes.

Amen. Silence everywhere. Those of you in front, stretch out your hands now. Father, there is another outpouring of your spirit from my right to the middle to my left over there. The same grace that used to be there. The same presence, the same presence, the same oil, the same oil, the same oil that left. I'm seeing somebody here having morning devotion and there will be the sweeping of the wave of glory. And now hold on a minute, you spend time crying and weeping on the atmosphere for hours, but now you can't tell the last time you had such experience. The Lord said, I'm back, Father. Everything that represents the anointing that was once here, I, I use you. Help her, help her. Oh Jesus. Oh, that's why I don't touch people. Now you have to join your hands together, everyone in front. Please join your hands. And please, I want the ushers to walk with me. Pastor Jeff, you stand here. Join your hands together. Thank you, Lord. There's somebody here who has a discipleship group centered around prayer. They are not meeting here, but you strengthen them online. Where's that person? Just come quickly. Where's that person? There's a discipleship group Femi Lazarus, are you the one? Come. Where are they gathering? Ah, on Zoom.

Come.

You know it, that God has something for you in this meeting. It does, it does. The grace to raise a generation with the spirit of wisdom. Are you standing behind her? Let it rest upon you. Such as I have give I thee. Same grace, and you carry it forth. It will— when you speak, receive the grace to command the obedience of Faith. These things are given. They are given, and you've carried yours. Thank you, Father. It's done. Now join your hands together, everyone.

Yes.

Ah, yeah, stand here. The rest, join your hands together quickly, quickly, quickly. I'm coming. Now lift those hands up. You say it loud and clear 3 times. I am back. I said loud and clear 3 times. I use this once as point of contact to everyone here. Let the anointing of the Holy Ghost— don't worry, just stand where you are. Focus! Touch, touch them, touch them, touch them, touch Touch them, touch them. That which God called you out for— hold this lady very well— that which he ordained you for, that which he set you apart for, you carry it strong. You carry it strong. You carry it strong, woman of God. You carry it strong. You carry strong. These hands begin to burn with oil again. Oh, thank you, Father. Help me stand behind her, please. Grace, grace. By the fingers of the Lord. By the fingers of the Lord, when you go back, that which used to be there where the Lord started from— just help them— you will see that same grace. Hold him, please. You see it again, freshness of the oil, freshness of the oil. When I looked at you, I don't know why I kept seeing apostolic mantle. I tried to look away, but It's there, it's there, it's there. From today to become clearer what God has set you apart for. It will become clear, to become clear. There's, there's a, there's a vessel of the calling here whose marriage is falling apart badly as I speak. The Lord said to tell you, make every effort to reconcile. There's that vessel. He's a male. He's falling apart badly. Yeah, yeah, make every effort. Make every effort. The devil wants you distracted. Make every effort. Thank you, Father. Everyone under the sound of my voice, that oil is back. That grace is there. In the name of Jesus, you will no longer be spiritually stranded. You will no longer be spiritually stranded. You will no longer be spiritually stranded. You are back.

You are back.

Thank you, Lord. It is done. Rise on your feet, everybody. Those of you in front, please step back to your seat. Something has landed on you already. Something has landed. Um, there's somebody with the issue of incontinence, bedwetting. Don't bother coming out. The Lord said to tell you it's over. The affliction is over. How many minutes do I have? Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Amen. There's so much presence, um, there. Lift your hands, everyone. The glory of the Lord is here, strong. It's here, so strong, so strong. Discern, discern what God is doing. He's here, so strong. He's here, so strong. A mighty army is rising from here. Yes, a mighty army, a mighty army is rising from here. A mighty army is rising, a mighty army is rising. Oh, thank you, Father. Lift your hands, everyone, and just give Jesus praise. Lift your hands and give him praise. Give him praise. Give him praise. Give him praise. Give him praise. Give him praise. Thank you, Lord. Amen.

Amen.

There's— all eyes closed. There's a lady here, an intercessor. God called you to that office. Now listen, so you can know yourself particularly, um, just help them, help those under the anointing. This particular lady I'm talking about. You are an intercessor, and you, you have been concerned for a while now that you are due for your partner. And the Lord is saying, stay in that calling. In fact, God gave you a project of a minister to be interceding for as a project. When we stay where he He asked us to stay, we will enjoy the unforced rhythms of grace. Hmm, pay attention to that. Stay where he has asked you to stay. Stay where he asked you to stay. Everyone here under the sound of my voice, lift up your hands to God. There's, there's a measure of glory This is a prayer group now. Esther's come. This is a prayer group. Ah, there's a measure of glory that's generated here, and you are going back with it. You are going back with it. You're going back with it strong, strong, strong. For that fellow whose prayer altar went so low, it's back. It's back. It's back. It's back, it's back. One of the, one of the grace upon my life is the grace of prayer and supplication. I tell people our ministry, yes, we teach, but we pray much more. From today you will no longer struggle to pray. I didn't hear that amen loud enough. You will no longer struggle to pray. Now listen, I might be saying this simply, but a lot is happening, okay? Oppressions. I'm seeing cases of oppressions. Lift your hands, everyone. If there are people here whose life is being tormented and manipulated by demonic entities, demonic forces, Father, let your fire scan through Now, at the count of 3— don't bother saying amen— at the count of 3, anything that is not named under the umbrella of the name of Jesus that people are not even knowing is in their lives— I'm seeing somebody, something like a rag is being pulled off from you. Father, locate that person with your fire.

Out!

Like a rag. It's been pulled out. I charge every strange spirit afflicting and tormenting destinies. I bind you in the name of Jesus, and I command you, foul and unclean spirits, get out! I'm seeing spirit of delay, spirit of of hatred, those unnecessary ones, wherever you've hidden over the years, in the name of Jesus, you will never return back. Every affliction is over. Now place your hands in any area of sickness if you have seen one before— lumps in the breast, I'm seeing somebody with respiratory issues, um, like there's a fluid in the lungs. I'm seeing somebody with a fluid— there's a fluid in somebody's lungs. Fluid in the lungs. A fluid in the lungs. It doesn't matter what the sickness is— irregular heartbeat, palpitations, um, high blood pressure. Asthma, longsightedness, shortsightedness, color blindness, cloudy vision. Just place your hands in that area. You have a lump somewhere. This is one of the major signature of our ministry. Healing is like water. Healing is like water. There's a lady here. God said to tell you again, I have said by this time next year you are returning with two Are you with me? God already told you. He's asking me to confirm it because you've been asking, how shall these things be? Except God did not call me, by this time next year— there's, there's somebody who had a recent miscarriage. Femi Lazarus is to my left. All eyes closed. If you will not be shy, I just want to prophesy. Will you raise your hand? Let me just see you. Okay, put it down. I've seen you, I've seen you. Hear the word of the Lord: Affliction will not arise the second time. Affliction will not arise. The second time. Now I take authority over every sicknesses, every irregularities in your bodies. I rebuke that spirit of infirmity and I command it, go right now! Let lumps disappear! Somebody can't stand for long, get so weak, be gone in the name of Jesus. Somebody's skin, um, reacting like irritating. You are given a brand new skin right now. Everything that the Lord has not planted, I command them to be uprooted now. Be Abnormal growth, get out! Anemia, get out! Appendicitis, be healed! Ulcer pains, get out! Thank you, Father. It is done in Jesus' mighty name. Now, now hold on. Uh, just before I drop the mic, uh, just 2 more minutes, I'm out of here. Check your body now. When it comes to healing, you have to make sure— don't joke with it. The moment you see that the symptoms that used to be there is gone, run out. Never keep the miracle to yourself, huh? Run out.

Quickly.

If it's the one you are shy to talk about, we'll keep it, but we'll hear the testimony privately. Check yourself now. If you couldn't do something for long, do it. You had the growth somewhere, check. You have a minute. Let's keep clapping as they come out. Now don't stop clapping. The moment you see that the healing has taken place, run out.

Don't stop.

Oh, thank you, Jesus. Is that the best you can clap? Don't stop clapping. Thank you, Lord, because you are the healer. Keep checking, keep checking, keep checking. Once you can see, oh, this is no longer there, the symptom is gone, run out. Can I have another mic here for testimonies? Amen. Hold on, maybe you didn't hear what I said. The moment you check, these symptoms is not there. I came here sick, I can't see it again. I'm not saying you should be clapping, I'm saying they should clap for you while you come out. So wherever you are Come out now. Don't keep it to yourself. Thank you, Lord. Nobody is in? It's impossible. Hold on, no, hold on.

I wait.

I'm not the kind of minister you pity and say, ah, Apostle, nobody is healed. Is impossible. Are you with me? I can't pray for you and you will not be what?

Healed.

If you keep the testimony, you will move on. Is that someone? Is that a healing case there? Okay, one person. All right, it's not— hold on, it's not one case. It's not one case. Is that another case there? Why are you people holding? These people used to form here. Hey, where are they? So you want to run home with the— wait, what were you expecting? I now say, hey, I'm shy, nobody go eat, oh, I'm feeling pain. Nonsense. What do you mean? Let's give them the mic. Let's hear what the Lord has done.

Amen.

Thank you, Father. But there are more healings that— for instance, there's— I didn't want to say this publicly before, but there's a lady that came here with an itchy menstrual flow that has stopped. Why will you keep quiet? You don't have to. Voca, but you know now. By the way, there's this thing called PCOS. I take authority over it right now. All children with autism, I curse the demon behind that. They begin to make instant recovery. It is done. So once they are sharing theirs, you confirm yours. You are no longer shy, run out and join them. Is that okay? Good. Let's hear what the Lord has done. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Pastor. Um, before I came here, I had a fever and my stomach was hurting so badly. And when we prayed, when we come— we came forward, I wasn't having that fever anymore and my stomach doesn't hurt. It doesn't hurt again. Praise God. Where are you from? I'm from England. England, amazing! God bless you so much. Let's give Jesus a big hand. I was at the theater today, so like I was just standing and I noticed that there was a sharp pain at my waist. You were at where again? At work. Okay, are you a doctor?

No. Okay, okay, okay.

I noticed that it was a sharp pain and I noticed that it was increasing. I was walking, I was walking, I was walking, it was increasing and it was going towards my spinal. But when you were saying put your hand upon where you wanted, I'll put my hand here. But I just stood up, I noticed that this pain has gone and it's just disappeared. Thank you. Thank you, Lord. Now here is something very amazing. Yes, somebody said that scalp skin irritation for 2 years, almost 2 years, and the case was mentioned and the fellow received the healing immediately online. Thank you. Let's give Jesus a big hand. Thank you, Lord. Now listen, One of the marks of this visitation tonight is the presence. It's the presence. You notice an unusual dimension. Many of you will go back to your churches and it can no longer be business as usual. There is going to be an outpouring. Are you with me? You will notice that you just can't stop praying. You are trying to say, let me even be prayerless. You can't stop. It is a what?

Baptism.

Thank you, Father. Be on your feet, everybody. Thank you, because there's a glory over this house. Thank you for the army you are assembling. Look at, look at the number of people here. Thank you, because we know something is about to break forth in this place. Different dimensions of shades of your glory in the emergence of different order of men. The devil will not stop this. There's a young man here You have a girl in your house as we speak and you have been trying everything possible to get rid of it. You are fighting hard.

You are scared.

Having received what I received, where do we go? How do I go back to the same place? What do I tell her? If she's not going, you wrong. You are here, oh, it will look as though you are not here, but you know you are pinching yourself. It does me. Jacob and Joseph ran, run, come and start sleeping inside church. It is better to do that and fulfill your calling than to become ex and anointed. The hand of God will never depart from this house. It is done in Jesus' name. Hallelujah!

Shall we all stretch our hands towards the man of God? And if you've been blessed tonight, I want you to pray for him from the depth of your heart. Just lift up your voices and begin to declare the blessing of God over him. Begin to declare that grace and peace is multiplied unto him. The Lord has brought him across our way in Glasgow, Scotland. To ignite a new move of God. The Lord has brought him across our way to commission a new group of officers. There's a new generation rising in this land, a new generation that will operate in power and that will operate in glory. The Lord has raised him up Even as one whose voice a generation rallies around, I want you to declare that the Lord will continue to keep him, the Lord will continue to uphold him, the Lord will continue to strengthen him, the Lord will continue to perfect all that concerns him in the name of Jesus, concerning him, his wife, concerning his children. Concerning even the churches that the Lord has given him oversight over, that the Lord will take them from glory to glory. He will take them from grace to grace. He will not be an ex-anointed in the name of Jesus, that the oil of gladness over his life will continue to spring and continue to increase. Thank you, Father. In Jesus' name we have prayed. Church, if you are excited and you want to thank God for the grace of God on the life of Apostle Femi Lazarus, shall you put those hands together and celebrate God in his life? Just go ahead and celebrate God in his life.

Hallelujah!

Man of God, we celebrate you. Thank you so much for just giving of yourself to the Lord. We know truly that this was a divinely arranged meeting because it is not done like this. Now, we that we are here, we know that it is not done like this on a Wednesday night, but this is God calling his people together. Now my prayer is that even as you have been— you have invested even in this land, you will reap in many folds in Jesus' name, that even Scotland will remember you for good in the mighty name of Jesus. Brethren, we didn't just come here, you know, you just don't Thank with words. The Bible says that if you have been blessed with spiritual things, it is right that you give even of your material things and of your substance. And that's why I want us— do we have the details? Do we have any details here? Can they put it up on the screen? As we all are there, I want us— look, you don't come here, you don't shortchange yourself, because what you've received here today is more than silver, it is more than gold, and it will continue to speak for life. And so the least that you can do is that you give even into what the Esther's Company has put together. I believe that— I mean, we want to be a generous blessing to the Apostle, and at the same time also we want to be a generous blessing to Esther's company because they have put together their resources to make sure that this happened. You just had to show up. So please, with those details on— where, where are the details? So I just want us to go online. Okay, so the barcode is there, so please just go ahead and with your phones, you know, let's just go ahead and give. We're not begging, we're not trying to encourage you beyond. But if you know that you've been blessed and you want to be a blessing, just go ahead and do that. Let's say a word of prayer. Our Father and our God, we thank you. We thank you for tonight because we know that tonight history is being made and history has been written, even in this land of Glasgow, Scotland. Everlasting Father, even as your children have proposed in their hearts to give, Lord, my prayer is that every
