EMPTY AND VOID 3

If you submit yourself for God to partner with you in church, church things you will do, but it will look like it doesn't exist anywhere else. But when they come to church, they'll feel it. But do you know that God can partner with you even in scientific discoveries? The issue is that you don't know God is also present in the lab. He can partner with you in the aspect of creativity, showing you what to do, expanding his light in your spirit. There's no way under this heaven you want to prophesy to me that, ah, from what I see, Apostle, soon you will have more Ballon d'Or than Messi. How now? You will not be useful in the areas you have no interest.

The word of God is the ultimate agent of transformation. It breaks barriers, renews minds, awakens destinies. It reshapes, realigns, rebuilds. Apostle Femi Lazarus has been given a divine mandate to raise a generation of kingdom-minded culture shapers. Leaders equipped to infiltrate every sphere of influence, to inspire, to transform societies, and to leave a lasting mark on generations to come.

The Word of God dominates my spirit. His life is at work in me. My body is not susceptible to sickness.

His sermons knows no boundaries. It speaks to every race, every tongue, every culture. Every sermon, Every insight, every counsel carries the power to ignite transformation, bring healing, and unlock divine purpose. Get set for a journey beyond the ordinary, a journey of transformation, of restoration, empowerment through the power of God's Word.

Why is this world so painful? Why is it that bad things happen to good people? Have you ever wondered why? Why should children die? Why do people go to war? Because the way the game of power is, is that two big guys can be fighting and some innocent lives will go for it. Why? Not because God is not on the throne. Because he has not found people to partner with. Now let me break it down. If you submit yourself for God to partner with you in church, church things you will do, but it will look like it doesn't exist anywhere else. But when they come to church, they will feel him. But do you know that God can partner with you even in scientific discoveries? The issue is that you, hey, you don't know God is also present in the lab. He can partner with you in the aspect of creativity, showing you what to do. Expanding his light in your spirit. You will not be useful in the areas you have no interest. Can I say it again? For instance, there's no way under this heaven you want to prophesy to me that, ah, from what I see, Apostle, soon you will have more ballon d'or than Messi. How now? How?

How?

It's not possible. And, and don't tell me that with God all things are possible.

I know.

I say it's not possible. Me that God wants to use to win the Ballon d'Or, I say I don't want. By the time I jog around the pitch 5 times, I'll pass out. Don't deceive. Do you understand what I'm saying here? So in the area that you have no interest, you have no future. It's not, it's not a bit, it's not You come and tell me now and say that, do you know, I saw it in the dream that you won Mr. Nigeria. For what? What do I want to do with it? It's possible. There's this thing they used to do in NYC camp. And we're serving Mr. Macho and Fabulous, all those stuffs. Me? They go and register to contest. Me? I'm the one they will use to gym with. Do you understand what I'm saying here? It's one of the damages that religion has done. In the areas that you have not built capacity, God will not move there. Yes, because you don't achieve flat tummy by the Holy Ghost. Sorry, sorry, some of you are talking your stomach. Relax, breathe, breathe. I, I used to see some of your pictures, but you want to take picture now, you want to kill yourself. How do you build capacity only for church stuff and complain that God is not using you at national level? Do you understand that? Yes, sir. Where's Bright? He said, I know you gym a lot. He's a sportsperson. Come. So look at this now. This is— no, come. Why they do like this? Now Femi Lazarus, are you afraid? Look, look, look at the— look at the height difference. Look at this. This is what we believe, that after all David defeated Goliath. Listen, we talk about that as if God just did everything. Oh yes, God moved, but there was something you are missing. David belonged to a set of guys that the Bible said by training they could sling and hit air strands. By training. Look at this. Among them who were 700 chosen men, left-handed, everyone could sling stones at an air breath and not miss. The guy carried a sling not because he wanted anything supernatural. He knew with this one, as far as my operation is concerned, with this sling— do you understand that? That was what he knew to use. Do you understand what I'm saying? We pray. In fact, David said, you come against me with sword and all that. He said, I come against you in the name of the Lord of Hosts and all that, the God of Israel, whom you have defied. You say that, now sit down. They will pound you, match you through, eat you something. So sometimes this is what the system of the world looks like. It's like, me, I'm even bigger than you, sir. You are the David. No, I'm not, I'm not Goliath. You stand here. So sometimes this is like what we are doing. We have not built capacity. And sometimes we are just not interested. It's too complex for us. Your Father in Heaven has wielded this earth to you. What part of it are you interested in? I'm asking you a question. Do you understand the question? What part of this earth are you interested in?

Huh?

Governance. Yeah, you're welcome. And what else? Because once the devil sees those who are creative, who are smart, who are daring, who can go but don't have allegiance to God, he empowers them. And God is saying that you claim I'm your dad is not enough. I want sons I can use. I want people whose hands I can use to throw the stone. Do you understand that? I will make sure it sinks. You make sure it hits the right place. Precision. Because— please sit for a moment. Thank you. Thank you. So let's assume my comrades in the front— you know, if you are seated here, you know what it means. You know what it means, right? Please come. Thank you. Come, woman of God, come. Don't worry. Let's form a circle as always. Yeah, look at this now. This is, this is the earth. Yeah, join your hands now. You see, everywhere is dark, everywhere is bad. People are suffering, people are going through, people are facing all that, and people, um, people, there's pain everywhere, there's killing, there's injustice. Some people don't have jobs, some people don't have all those things. Now imagine that God can get certain percentages— the rest, join your hands— of his children, that together I can now begin to use you. I can use you to solve this problem. I can use to solve this problem. I can use to solve this problem. Sometimes the reason you are angry about those problems is because you know you can't do anything about it. Who failed them, God or you? The problem you have is that your mind has still not carried the fact that there is a dimension of God's blessing that is beyond rent. Do you understand that? That is beyond what? That's what he wants to do. He wants to give you projects. And say, this is what I want to do, can you do it for me? I want solution to the problem called cancer on the face of the earth. You stay in the lab, I will show you. I'll show you what to do. As you begin to conduct research, you'll notice that you are having extra insight. God doesn't just lead you to who to marry, he leads you to all solutions. Solutions. Please, thank you. Sit for a moment. Now you see everywhere They are finding solutions to different problems that people have died because there was no cure. Church is factory for equipping. Outside, that's where the work is. That's where the work is. The problem is that the moment you show any promising sign, they just assume you'll be a pastor. And sometimes the problem is that wicked people began to call you as a nickname, Pastor. So you just peg yourself to that. You can't solve all the problem in this life. Problem no dey finish is a strong word. You, because you tell someone, okay, you know what, go, go and do something with this now. If the person is not smart or diligent, the person is bound to fail. It's a two-way thing. Where there's no capacity, there's nothing for you. And all this thing that if I do 2 hours in tongues, it won't replace capacity. It will not. Why? God is a just God. Why should you get the job because you carry your GO's mantle and somebody who studied and everything didn't get the job? You go with the mantle. You see, all this testimony that as I came there they just saw me and preferred— those things, we are not saying it didn't happen, but if you use it as a formula, you'll cry. Let's read that text again so you can see it. I can't stand your religious meetings. I'm fed up with your conferences and conventions. Yes, this is God talking. I want nothing to do with your religion projects, your pretentious slogans and goals. I am sick of your fundraising schemes, your public relations and image-making. Yes, I've had all I can take of your noisy ego music. When was the last time you sang to me? Yes, do you know what I want? I want what? Justice. That's God talking. I want fairness. Rivers of it. Okay, oceans of it. I want fairness. Rivers of it. That's what I want. That's what I want. Why? Because he's a just God. And the reason why the world is in trouble is because we have abandoned the justice system. The earth is laid on the pillar of God's righteousness and God's justice. Anywhere these two principles are are held up by men, there will be peace. If after all your years in church you have the opportunity, maybe from your community village meeting, you start stealing and you are saying we are the new generation— what new generation? You are not part of them. Let's read. Proverbs 21, verse 3. Proverbs 21, verse 3. Let's read it out loud. 1, 2, 3, go! To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the Lord than what? Sacrifice. You know, you can't be a just person if you are not contented. Every act of injustice against people begins with greed. To want more than you can spend. What kind of God can we say we have found if we are still greedy? And greed goes both ways. It's not, it's not, um, there are times that the person that is crying injustice, injustice, is a greedy person. If that person has the opportunity to steal, the one who is stealing now is not, is not as heartless as this one that they are robbing. He just doesn't have an opportunity. True? Oh yes. Many times we have deformed conscience. Ah, one person has See, it doesn't matter how blessed you are, you can't sleep in two rooms at once. You want to put your head somewhere, e se will kill you. There are certain things that God has put in place to let you know you don't need too much. And the reason why there is injustice is because we don't understand the power of legacy. A good name is better than silver and gold. You look at Psalms 35, verse— Psalms 33, verse 5. Psalms 33, verse 5. He loves righteousness and judgment. The earth is full of what? The goodness of the Lord. And begin that system of his righteousness from where you are. Some of us learned corruption from young age. They said, share this meat with your brother. You put the best part inside. True? You remember? That's where it started from. Put the best part at If you ever have to share me to your brother, raise your hand here. Raise it. Whether brother or sister, raise it very well. There's a seed of corruption in you. I want to show you something. Look at this text, it blessed me. Jeremiah chapter number 9, verse 24. Jeremiah 9, verse 24. But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knows me. That is, in all your glory, glory in the fact that you know God. He said that I am the God which exercise loving kindness judgment and what? Righteousness in the earth. For in these things I what? Delight, says the Lord. That's the nature of God. It's the nature of righteousness and justice. You see, everywhere people are crying, God is touched. In Exodus, he said, I have heard the cry of my people in Israel. If he heard their cry in Israel, themselves. Do you not think he's hearing their cry in Nigeria? So if no one has been sent yet, including me, it means he's not seen anyone who can go yet. Sometimes we may be relevant for preaching, but we have no influence power to say I will go head to head with them. Preaching, good, prepare people. Well, until somebody rises, nothing will still be done. I was talking to some of my mentees yesterday and I told them, I understand that there are many things that needs to be done that I can't get done using the platform of the church alone. That's why I do many things. And so even if you say, okay, we are going to also do those things They are powerful, but to the degree that you have influence.

Don't—

anything you don't have that you wish you have, don't talk it down on that person's life. It's not by popularity will keep quiet. If you are known, you will get more results. Now, that thing you are doing with two views, is that what you want to continue? Do you understand what I'm saying here? God loves you. Now you, you are sound, you are doing amazing stuff. You get them. By the time you put the thing there, you share it to your friend, you share to 10 of them, 3 people will like it. Go and check the comments. They are managing, they are getting tired. We are commenting on— why don't cease? Why don't cease? Child, don't stop. But there is a wisdom in God that shoots a man up, and oftentimes there is no influence where people are playing safe. Don't just know the gift of what you do, know the business of it so you can scale. Listen, put your pen down. Need to you, hm? Quote me anywhere. There are certain things you cannot do effectively if you don't have enough. Do you understand what I'm saying? If you are still at the level of Why is Mixlr down? I don't have sub to watch PPC on YouTube. There's little you can do. You understand what I'm saying? Yes, sir. There's little. Say sub for me, 2 gig. Sorry, but it's true.

Yes, sir.

I was saying yesterday that I have a training, I can help some of my mentees. I want to pick a few to say I want to help you scale at this level. This is just my mentorship academy. So I want to help them have their first $1 million turnover. And I said, Femi Lazarus, hi! I said, if your bed is still on the floor, you can't really cope with that kind. The mindset, I can't buy bed frame, cannot really get what I want to say. It's true, it's true, it's true. Listen to what I'm saying. That phone has cracked. You want to take selfie, you have to turn it like this. It's not like you don't have money, but you don't take it serious. Power bank you borrow. Type-C? Do you have Type-C there? You borrow. The mindset that is still prioritizing at that level— don't let me come and deceive you and pour Goya oil on you. I will use to fry plantain. There's not much that mind can carry yet. First, advance from where you are to some— it's true, it's true. You are the one, you take bike park, I want to buy a baban, you tie phone like you're tying charm. So that we don't deceive our— don't ever stand and act as if you are helpless. Who is going to help me now? So what kind of mentality is that? What kind of mentality? Stop having the come and save me mentality. Come and save— there's a man who will never be in the position where there's no way out. The issue is that we that we are saying we'll go, we'll save the world. Are we born to burn the world with the fire of God? Let's be honest. Somebody just give you $10,000 now. Ah, are we born to—

ah.
