FESTIVAL OF LIFE || DAY 2 || 13TH JUNE 2025

its weight because it is born in seasons and written in alignment with what God is saying. Next slide. Over the past one year, we've released several books. Here are the titles. Next slide. We have a lot of reviews. This is just a tip of the iceberg. Next slide. So, um, as a team, we are a small team, but there are mighty people. So this is how we work. We have transcribers, we have designers, we have editors, we have publishers, and each of them— each of us is here today. Next slide. We've— our goal, our vision is to serve several countries, and we've started already. Next slide. In just one year, Femi Lazarus Books has transcended borders and touched lives across the globe. Thousands of copies have been sold sold not only in this country but around the world. Next slide. So we have a community as well where Apostle's readers come together to review his books. Those that have read his books, they come around. We come together to share testimonies, lessons, experiences on that group. Next slide. So we have some next moves, we have some next steps in mind. One of them is to have and to become a publishing house where you or any author that you know can publish your books with us excellently. All right, thank you. No, no, still stay there. The— another thing we intend to do in the coming year, this year, is to scale our reading community. So if you are not yet part of the reading community, you should try to be part of it. You can see myself or Minister Yemi Osinbajo, or any member of the team that you see around to be a part of it. Then we have strategic distribution network. We are now focused on building a wide and efficient distribution network targeting campuses, churches, bookstores, digital platforms across Nigeria and Nigeria beyond. You can reach out to our— to us via that email to become a distributor, or if you have ideas on how this can work. Next slide, please. So, um, put your hands together. This slide should already excite you. So we recently released 5 new books, and these are the titles: How to Deal with Church Hurt, Gilead, Our Last Fight, Unveil, and finally Hot Seat with My Mentees. And this is just the beginning. Put your hands together for Apostle Hallelujah! Next slide. What should you expect from each new release? Next slide, please. So for Gilead, you can quickly read that it is a call to heal. It speaks to anyone who has ever been hurt, rejected, or felt the need to prove a point. Next slide. 'How to Deal with Church Hurt.' It's for anyone who's been wounded in the very place they expected healing. Maybe you've been offended in church before, you left a place before because of hurt or bitterness, whether as a pastor, a minister, or as a member. Get this book. Next slide. If you feel— if you ever feel like, you know, having Apostle with you every time. It is not possible. It's not possible. But if you ever feel like having Apostle with you every time, get this book. It's a manual. You can always refer to it at every point. If you intend to be a transgenerational person, get this book. Next slide. Unveil. This book is powerful. That's all I can say for now. Next slide. Our life's fight. This one means a lot to Apostle. Get it. Next slide. Now this is where I'm coming to. All right, so we are calling on individuals, friends, and supporters to partner with us in getting Apostle's books into the hands of thousands more across the world. The books are timeless messages changing lives, and with your support, we can print more, reach more, and distribute faster. Every partnership counts. I want you to tap yourself and say, I will become a partner at Femi Lazarus Books. Don't just say it. That's the account detail to partner with us. We need you. We need partnerships. All right, next slide. Next slide. How can you get a copy of any of the books in this conference? At the back. All right, we have the bookstore just beside this first door at the back. We have every copy of Apostle's books, including these 5 titles. All right, so I will not be doing the next session of this presentation alone. Um, please put your hands together for Mr. Sam as he joins me up on stage. And for this next, um, assignment, please let's all rise up quickly, please, and put our hands together for the author of our hearts. The author of the moment, the author of authors, the author of— put your hands together for Apostle Femi Lazarus! We love you, sir. So we'll be asking Apostle some questions about his books. We'll be asking Apostle a few questions. You can have our seats. Some questions about his books. Mr. Sam will be handling this particular session. Apostle is not aware of this session, so— but we know, we trust Apostle. All right, so thank you so much. Have a good time. Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

Good evening once again. And Apostle, sir, let me start by saying that it's such an honor On behalf of myself and the entire team, um, that we can have this moment with you to share, um, on the books that you have so lavishly written, um, for us. These books have been touch points. We've gotten so much feedback from so many of your readers, I must say, across the globe. And, um, it's really important, I believe, for them. They would love to hear what to expect even from the new ones coming. So the first question that I would love to ask you, sir, is from the book, right? From Insights for Living. Insights for Living is like a lifeguard for many people. Uh, what I teach my mentees, similar, same thing. Um, I remember I was at the airport one day and I saw someone else reading it, and I spied into what she was reading. I told her I have the same book, then I brought mine out and we began to share, and it was really beautiful. And now we have hot seat with my mentees. Sir, what can your readers expect from that book in particular, and what do you hope that is instilled in them moving forward?

Um, first and foremost, thank you for having me. Um, the book All Seed with My Mentee is, um, it's the pouring out of the vital things I cannot say publicly. Um, one of the advice we have from scripture is not to to pour our pearls to swine. And that doesn't mean that people are swine. It means those who know the value of certain things are those that should get it. Now, I've been sitting with leaders from across the globe around the year and pouring insight, you know, into them. And some of these people are professors and leaders of organizations. And there are many people who wish to be in such closed-door platforms. And don't have the opportunity. Hot Seat with My Mentee is a way to bring you into that thing through a book. It's deeper and richer than the average Femi Lazarus message you'll come across. Thank you.

Thank you so much, sir. Can we have a round of applause for Apostle? So my next question is on a book that I know that you are very passionate about, and it's this one right here. A Crowd That Wants Small Things. Um, it's a great book. I've read it extensively, um, has blessed me so much. And equally, we've had so much feedback from across the globe about this book in the hands of people it has reached. Um, so I want to ask a question that I believe a lot of readers want to know. We've met you as an apostle, as a pastor, as a great teacher and prophet. Later today, we'll see you as the principal. But as an author, what goes through your mind when you decide to document these books? Are there particular people that are in your heart that you want to reach? Are there things that you feel like are important to be known by the society? What goes through your mind, sir?

Um, first thing first, I write for posterity. You see the book in your hands, A Crowd That Wants More Things. Came from so much burden. I believe in the African dream. I believe in the African project. There is a concept called the concept of institutionalization, and I'm going to explain briefly. When a prisoner stays in the prison walls for long, the prison becomes the confines with which he defines his life and even measures of success. When you take the prisoner away from the prison, and puts him in an open space where he has his freedom.

The free—

the place of freedom becomes his prison, and the prison becomes his place of freedom, meaning that he has become one with his bondage. There is the theme with an average African that has become one with his chain. And like the Israelites that left Egypt and were on their way to the promised land and began to crave the garlics and the cucumbers in Egypt There is the way an average African is wired to crave that which keeps them in bondage. That's the reason why the book is written. It's written, it's for many generations that will yet come. And if you read through my books, for instance, Seeing Beyond Smokescreen and all those books, Break Free from Addiction, you will see that the real life behind this book transcends one generation. Um, I understand fully well that there is the role of track record with authoring books, that a generation will come look for gold and they will search and find them in those books. That's why I write.

Wow, I'm, uh, I'm totally, totally, totally in awe of that answer. And the reason is because when you started, you said that you write for posterity. And that leads actually very nicely to the next question that I want to ask, sir. Um, one of the very earlier things that we hear, if you pay attention to very early messages that you've released, sir, the intro of the message would always talk about God's instruction to you that in years to come, his words will be needed to navigate tough times in the body of Christ. His wisdom will be needed to navigate tough times in the body of Christ. And we believe that that's one of the reasons why you document these things in books. And it brings me to the next book I want to talk about. You mentioned it, sir, Seeing Beyond the Smokescreen. It's an incredible book. I read it and it changed my entire worldview. And I knew that that wasn't a fluke also because of the feedback we've gotten from many others as well. Changed the way people see life, the way people read the world. So the question I want to ask In the incoming book, the new book, Our Last Fight, it's written on the book that it's a sequel to Seeing Beyond the Smokescreen. So I believe so many of our readers would want to know just exactly what to expect from that one.

Um, first advice that everyone should get: Seeing Beyond Smokescreen. You know, we try to get it to the hands of everyone across the world. There is actually a smokescreen. Um, there is a societal construct that is built on lies. There is the future that people are chasing but actually made up of shadows. It is my duty as a prophetic teacher to not just teach about these things but also reveal them through books. There is a battle that is going on, although seemingly quiet but yet raging. It is important that people are not just brought into awareness, but they are taught to fight. And that's the reason for those books. So, um, if Seeing Beyond Smokescreen has blessed you, then you want to read Our Last Fight. It's much more.

Thank you so much, sir. Can we have a round of applause? So I have one more question. So this is the final question that we have, and it's on one of your more interesting books, or should I say more controversial ones, and I'll explain the controversy behind it. So being privileged by God and honored by yourself, sir, to sell your books, I always encounter people when they come through the stand and they see the book Wedlock, and people argue. You have the people who say, I don't need it, I'm not married, and then you have the people who say, I don't need it, I'm married. So the question is, who exactly is wedlock written for? Is it for the single people or is it for the married people?

You know, there is this thing that is so funny about marriage. That's the only institution that they give you a certificate before you start. It is given in advance that you have sense. Whether in it or before you get into it, get sense. And that's the reason why that book has been written.

Thank you.

I believe on that note, on that note, we can proudly, proudly say that we have gotten needed information for the new books. Thank you so much. Please, can we celebrate Apostle?

Amen.

Before Apostle goes back to his seat, Apostle would like to especially honor and recognize some members that have been part of this work. I'm just going to be calling your name quickly. CJ, please come out. Alesh lawyer, please come out. Mrs. Caris, please come out. Mr. Sam here is already out. And finally, Joy Sogena, if you can come out, please come out. Let's put our hands together. These are the people that are making things happen. Thank you so much. The faster you clap, the more you clap, the faster they come up. Please come up here, here. And we would be giving them a token, an award. Bring them, please. Thank you.

Col—

Collins, please just bring everything at Thank you. Joy Togena is not here, but it's okay. So Apostle will be presenting this award to Sylvester Samuel Ipo. Our designer, no, Mrs. Caris Gabriel. One of our amazing transcribers and editors. Okay, thank you so much, sir. You can go. Thank you so much, sir. You can walk back to our seats.

All right, good evening everyone once again. All right, it's time for Light Leadership Academy graduation.

All right.

You are not happy, but the students are happy. All right, um, I have the singular honor and privilege to do this on behalf of Apostle. Please celebrate Apostle for me and Pastor Mimi. Thank you so much, sir.

Thank you.

And, um, I want to welcome our resident pastor, um, that coordinated this program, and that's Pastor Tumise Pastor Jacob Adoname, can you come upstage? Please celebrate them as they make their way forward. Um, Pastor Abraham Okojie, Pastor Eritij Somelawal, and Pastor Wale Adesafe, please celebrate them. And I want all the students to make their way forward. Can you make your way forward? Please celebrate them as they do that. Celebrate them, celebrate, keep celebrating them, please. You can stand here. All right, keep celebrating them, please.

Keep celebrating them.

All right.

Light Leadership Academy is the central arm of the ministry that focused on training and raising refined leaders. This is a vision received by our lead pastor, Apostle Femi Lazarus, and Pastor Miracle Femi Lazarus. Celebrate them, please. Um, and this is from a burden to raise trained leaders across spheres, but Light Leadership Academy is focused on training leaders across all Light Nation branches. Um, today we have men and women who have gone through this training program with more pruning, discipline, teaching, assignment, and examination, and are found worthy of graduation today. Please celebrate them one more time. In a moment, I want the church to be upstanding as I receive Apostle to bless them and pray for them. Please celebrate Apostle. Please, can you make it? Keep celebrating Apostle, please.

Amen. I'd like to request that the students and please graduates please come and then turn around. Please, whilst we're still standing, um, in Light Nation we pay very keen attention to trainings and discipleship. Um, this particular academy is strictly for Light Nation, and you don't get to apply, you can only be recommended by your pastor when we see the necessary values that aligns with the ministry. So usually in Light Nation, before anyone is allowed to come with us in any level of leadership, this is one of the refined processes that they have to go through. And I want to say this loud and clear, that we are proud of you. Thank you for making us proud. I want to thank all our pastors who have labored tirelessly to see to it that this is done. We're grateful. Please go on your knees. We decree over you today that you are blessed. The hand of the Lord rests upon you. The spirit of leadership rests upon you. Receive grace to execute your God-given assignment. You will make Jesus proud. In the name of Jesus, you will not fall by the wayside and you will not vanish like smoke. I decree be blessed. God has blessed this ministry with a good name. None of you will bring shame to this house. You will not vanish. God will keep you strong. Your habitation will not be desolate. It is done in Jesus' mighty name. Please get up. You want to shake someone to your right and left and say congratulations. God bless you. You may please go back to your seats.

Thank you, thank you.

Please meet your class rep after the service to collect your certificate.

Thank you.

Let's give them a big, big hand of praise, please. I'm sorry, let's clap for them. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Amen. With so much honor in our heart, at this point we'd like to receive the ministry of Minister Moses Akoh. I want to be sure. Ah, yeah, is he around? Ah, okay, please. Let me say this to you. I mean, if you're in Light Nation, you know he's not a guest. He's an integral part of this family. He didn't come alone. He came with his beautiful wife with us this evening, and we are so excited. Can we pray in the Holy Ghost while we prepare ourselves for worship?

Hallelujah!

Femi Lazarus.

May the congregation please have their seat. Please have your seats, sir. I'd like to welcome everyone to this prestigious event this evening. Upon the powers conferred on me as the privileged director of the International School of Ministries, it is my honor honor and privilege to respectfully call upon the principal to declare the assembly constituted.

Principal, sir.

Thank you. Upon the powers conferred on me as the principal of the International School of Ministry, and in the name of the Son of the Living God, I now declare this assembly a graduation of International School of Ministry, constituted for the purpose of the award of certificates to the graduates of the school.

Thank you very much, sir. I'd like to welcome everyone once again to the International School of Ministry. It's been a journey that started about the last 3 months, and we can see the product of that journey here today. You see all the graduates. Can you show your excitement?

Today.

Indeed, these are persons that have come and gone through the thick and thin of the International School of Ministry with the rigor and all that they had to go through, but they came out strong. Right now, I'd like to say to you that what we have today is for us to appreciate these men and women here that will be going out there to become our arrows to their world that would also change their world. And I will let you know that this is not just a ceremony, this is a significant ceremony. And I want you to know that the International School of Ministry is very big on what we do today, and it's not just an event, it is consecrated for today. And I would like you to know that we have our well-wishers, we have parents, we have friends, families. We recognize every one of you, and I'd like to say that you are welcome. Thank you so much. Um, at this juncture, may I respectfully, for the next assignment to be given to us as a speech, may I respectfully invite the principal to address the congregation for this graduation ceremony as he delivers a speech. The principal, sir.

May I please request that the graduates be upstanding while I speak at this moment. I want to especially thank God for you and for your colleagues connected from different parts of the world. This year we have been able to graduate students from 52 countries. Now, just as Paul urged us in Ephesians 4 from verse 1, said, I beseech you therefore by the mercies of the Lord that you walk worthy of the vocation wherewith you have been called. Other translation use the word ministry, wherewith you have been called. And I pay particular attention to the fact that Paul described ministry as a vocation. Which means that the call is not enough. Preparation is essential, and you have taken a good step in the right direction, availing yourself to be trained, tutored, and prepared for what God has for you. I'd like to make you understand that it doesn't end here. This is just the beginning of many more steps that you will take. Would like to especially thank God for the Obadobo University for an amazing collaboration that we've had together this year. Lecturers, I don't know if some of them are online also watching us right now. Want to thank God for you, and we are so grateful that this is the beginning of many more milestones in Jesus' name. Once again, welcome. God bless you.

Thank you, Principal, sir, for that Femi Lazarus' welcome address. May I please ask that the graduating students have their seat as we proceed. At this juncture, I would like to welcome every member of faculty, and in various terms, let me let us know that at International School of Ministry we are blessed with men and women that are global resource persons, not just persons limited to that local assembly alone, but they've blessing to us at International School of Ministry, and we will be having them give us within a minute their own remark and their admonition to the graduating set of today. May I please ask, starting with Pastor Wale Adesope, please put your hands together for him. Please, where you are, you can just stand right there and give your speech. Can we please have the mic for Pastor Wale? You can have mine, please. Um, thank you, the director. I like to appreciate the principal first of all for the privilege to be part of what we do here over the years. And I like to state expressly that I'm proud to say today that I'm part of the first set of ISL.

And I said that to make it clear to you that first, I Femi Lazarus believes in his products because he knows exactly what he's putting into them.

And I say that to bring greetings to all the graduates today, that the training you have received from this enviable body of scholars, I'd like you to know that it's a preparation for you to do something that will make mark in eternity.

So the proof that you have learned everything you were taught is not actually in the academics, but in the proofs and the transformation of lives and destiny. And I want to say to you that the preparation you have received is adequate to power you into ministry from one level to another. And I also want to conclude that you should not settle.

What you have received prepares you for the next stage, and you need to make sure you are always in motion. Like Apostle Paul said to Archippus, he said, say unto Archippus that he seeks to fulfill the ministry which he has received.

I thereby give you this charge, that you seek to fulfill the ministry wherein you've been called and you've been trained.

Once again, thank you very much. Thank you so much. Thank you very much. Can we Pastor Bode Thomas, please. All right, good evening everyone. Uh, I would like to thank the director and the principal once again. Thank you for this privilege.

And for the graduating students, like I said in my class, that the call of God upon your head is not as important as how you carry out the assignment. And one of the fundamental things you learned in the school is excellence, to ensure that you never forget the real reason while you're serving the Lord and why you have taken this deliberate step to, uh, venture into this school. Thank you, and I wish you all the best as you serve the Lord excellently in this generation.

Good evening, everyone. Special appreciation to the director and the principal for this opportunity. My remark will be from 1 Corinthians 4:2, that it is required of a steward that a man be found faithful. Um, you have been trained so that God can put his resources in your hand to steward it for his glory. All I just want to say is to be faithful to it, is to be committed to it, to be diligent to it. The body of knowledge that you have learned within the past these past 3 months, I know is going to give you a quantum leap, far more than every other person out there. So thank you so much for this privilege, especially the privilege of teaching Digital Ministry. Thank you so much, Apostle, for allowing Digital Ministry in ISN. Thank you so much. Thank you, everybody.

Thank you very much. Pastor Mimiwa. Can we put our hands together for Pastor Mimiwa?

I would like to appreciate my principal, Apostle Femi Lazarus, for this great opportunity. And if your hands are not too busy, please celebrate him for me. I celebrate all faculty members. It's such a beautiful privilege to have journeyed with this year, International School of Ministry students in marriage ministry and the ministry guidance and counseling. And I really want to say that you guys are beautiful, and every time I think about you, I think about the future. And I know for sure that we're going to do great and wonderful things together for the kingdom of God. God is waiting on you. God is waiting for you. And I just want to encourage you that even if you're stepping out today, do not forget your calling. God bless you.

Thank you so much, Ma. Let's take Pastor Lee. Thank you so much, Pastor Lee. Can we have your remark? Thank you so much. All right, good evening everyone.

The esteemed principal, like to appreciate you for privilege to be part of ISM, uh, for about 5 years now.

The director, thank you, and all faculty members.

So the students, I'd like to charge you that you pay attention to what you've learned in the course of your training. And like I told you in class, that you cannot overtrain. So you keep getting trained, keep putting attention for training. So if you have any opportunity to be trained again in such a platform like this, make sure you put in for it. And I want to thank the principal for allowing ministry administration to flow in such an institution as this. You know, it's bringing business approach to ministry, bringing organizational structure to ministry.

And like I told you, without, you know, administration, ministry will lead to frustration. So you need to— so administration allow administration to feeds purpose.

So don't forget that.

God bless you. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Pastor Nii, for that. And I'd like you to know that when things work, there are certain things in the engine room that makes it power well. And that's the umbrella for the International School of Ministry, and that is under the umbrella of FLAME, which is a Femi Lazarus Apostolic Ministries Ecumenical and that is a privilege that we have to work with. But now I would like you to know that we have an administrator that makes that work, and that's why I'm going to be welcoming Pastor Adejoke, the director of Flame, to also give our remarks to the graduating students.

Thank you so much, sir. Thank you so much, my principal apostle, for the great privilege. Thank you so much. I do not take it for granted. And congratulations to all ISM 2025 students. I mean, you all have been amazing. If there's anything I love about ISM is the work ethic. I mean, yeah, in your house, you know, we have people that come thinking it's just about attending some classes online and then you'll get your certificate. But then when you come in, you, you understand what ministry is all about, and that is ministry is what? Is what? Is work. Yes, we've been taught. And you know, if you're here, you want to be a part of ISM, I mean, this is your cue to please enroll next year. I'm so excited right now for our students because they have passed through the test and they are worthy of being certified, you know, with their certificate. Thank you so much, sir.

Thank you so much, Pastor Adijo, the director of Flame. Thank you so much. We would also take two from the Oral Roberts University Bible Institute. This year has been very peculiar because we have been in a partnership with them since the beginning of the program, and it has been a smooth journey, and we know that we have a better end from here. However, for now, our media, are we please ready for us to receive the remark from Prof. Edgar that took you system Somatic Theology Part B. So media, please, let's have it up. Thank you.

Please, if we do, let's go to the, um, online students. Let's hear from them, their testimonies, their journey so far from ISM 2025. Thank you so much. ISM 2025 literally saved my life.

My name is Dr. Oluwatose from the United United Kingdom. I bring warm greetings to our principal, Apostle Femi Lazarus, and our director, Dr. Kole Babaremo, and all esteemed faculty members and my fellow scholars.

My name is Adeleke Alarikoba, and I am glad to see that. It's been a pleasure and an honor to attend the International School of Ministry 2025 cohort.

I was coming from a season of confusion and lots of questions. Isa represents to me love, intentionality, excellence, and ultimately honor. Not only did I gain a perspective shift of valuable knowledge about ministry, I was surrounded by people who poured into me, and I also got the chance to also pour out of what I've received.

I rejoice and celebrate with everyone today because today is not just a day of celebration of our academic feat and spiritual transformation, but it's actually another day of impartation and being sent into the world as Hamis that have been made.

It's wanting to increase in knowledge But it's of utmost importance that as Christians, as believers, as ministers who sense that God has called us, we take the deliberate step to add to our knowledge. And the platform of the International School of Ministry is one of such avenues to be able to do that and become all that we can be as we fulfill that which God has placed in our hearts, or that which God has placed upon our lives as a calling.

Watching PPC over Over the years with my family has been an amazing experience, and we've seen God work and we've seen our spiritual lives grow.

And when the International School of Ministry began to be advertised, my wife and I decided that it was something we had to do and attend. The quality of the materials we've been exposed to will in no doubt guarantee that we'll become the very best that God has in mind. And to take the responsibility to play our part, having been given these tools to work with in the field, I know that we will be that generation that makes God proud.

Another highlight for me was the fieldwork.

And even though I'm far away in Canada, to be able to relate intercontinentally to get the work done, to see the smiles on the faces of those we went to minister to, And to also be a part of this in every way, shape, and form has been an amazing, amazing experience. It will never leave me in a hurry. If there's anything I'm taking away from this time at the school, top of the list will be thoroughness, attention to detail. I'm paying the price to be the excellent minister that God will have us be.

I cannot end this video without making this point. You see, Platform programs like this is not just for education.

What I value also is the relationships that you build. I'm a proud member of Group 3, and I cannot take them for granted. They've been amazing. I have made wonderful friends, relationships that I'll cherish for the rest of my life.

I want to say a big thank you to the faculty for, you know, the transformational knowledge that we have received and for the impartation that we have received in this school.

I want to thank the entire faculty, starting from the principal, Apostle Femi Lazarus, and every other person that has been the pillar to hold the school together. I look forward to representing the International School of Ministry as a proud alumni going forward.

My group, Group 3, oh my gosh, amazing family. I gained a family from ISM. I've gained a new perspective from ISM. So I want to appreciate Apostle Femi Lazarus and all the faculty members of ISM. Appreciate Pastor Mimi, appreciate Pastor Bode, Pastor Nii, Pastor Cephas, and of course Dr. Kunle Babaramu. Thank you so much for your dedication, for your love, for your intentionality. It has built me up and I'm dreaming again, like I'm holding on to God's promises again, I am longing again, and ultimately I want to be alive. That is huge for me. So thank you so much, ISM 2025. And you know what, just because of what I've gained here, I am actually looking forward to ISM 2026. Please, if you have an opportunity to hear this and you've not been through ISM, don't Miss it, it is life-changing. Thank you, thank you, thank you. All right, so I will proceed to call on the selected student on site for their testimony. Please, if you hear your name come out, and please, we have just 30 seconds. I know you have a lot to say, a lot of, you know, testimony to share, but please, we have a very, you know, um, little time left. All right, I will call on Vanessa Welty. Femi Lazarus. Can we celebrate her as she comes forward? Joshua Bassa. Can we celebrate him as they come forward? And Lara Yusuf. Can we celebrate her as she comes forward? All right, you can take this. Okay, you can come forward and you can have the mic behind you. Good evening. Good evening, distinguished ladies and gentlemen. Good evening, our esteemed principal, director, and faculty. Um, I don't know, my experience at ISM has been— I don't want to say magical, but it has been empowering, transforming, and equipping. I can boldly say that I have been upgraded in terms of comprehending the principles of the kingdom. Ministry is vocation, and we need to be trained for for the work of vocation, so for the work of ministry. And I'm grateful. Like, all I can say is thank you to our esteemed faculty, and may the good Lord bless you. Also, Group 2, um, I love you all. We are family now, and let's continue to rise in victory. Thank you all. Thank you so much. Yes, please, the next person. Thank you.

The principal of the International School of Ministry, members of faculty, Distinguished guests, my fellow graduands, the congregation, I greet you all. My name is Basa Joshua Samuel from Group 1, and the journey to ISM has been eventful for me. I think it's one which I simply use few adjectives to describe. It was scintillating, it was distilled, it was daunting, and yet very exhilarating. And why I'm saying that is because it was really rigorous, but then, you know, wearing that last smile we all have right now, I think it's worth everything. And one of the things I've been able to, I think, take out of this very whole experience is the fact that I came here as a wallflower, someone who just gets into this different corner where I do not like to be part of things, but I found myself speaking amidst my colleagues colleagues, and also building up myself, I think, and also being very faithful also in my commitment to God. And I think that's something I've been able to also take on with me to even help teenagers at my local assembly and also expand that already into the youth fellowship of my own congregation. And I believe that the Lord will help us and help me as well as I grow as a budding young Christian. In Jesus' name, amen.

Thank you so much. Thank you. Good evening, um, Principal, I greet you. Um, good evening, my esteemed faculty of teaching and non-teaching, um, staff members. Good evening, sir, Bishop. Good evening, Mark. Good evening, everyone. Good evening, my fellow graduates. I'm Mrs. Lara Yusuf. And what can I say about ISM 2025? Um, now I took ISM 2024 and I was listening to PPC one more morning. And I've also mentioned that there were going to be additional courses which I had been talking to God about, particularly about marriage ministry. So I had to be part of it this year. Um, I thought it'd just be those two modules, but no, I took the whole course. And I must say I was wowed, because what we had this year was totally different from what we had in 2024. It was challenging, you know. And I see this opportunity to thank Almighty God, as well as our fellow family members and our friends who have supported us, where I had to put my children and my husband on the back burner to prepare for the very, um, interesting exams, having been in academia almost 2 decades ago. But it will try you. And I say all that to say it was worth it. I have conversations with people that I looked up to spiritually, and they asked me, what are you reading 'Laura, I mean, what are you reading these days?' Because they've seen a change, and all thanks goes to you all. Thank you so much. God bless you. And I know that by God's grace, we will make sure that the end-time army of God is stronger, bolder, and better, in Jesus' name. Thank you. Can we celebrate them? Thank you so much.

Thank you very much. The person on that will join ISM next year. Thank you. There's something we have not done, uh, I would like to crave the indulgence of our principal, sir, to do that. We award the best group for every year. And this is what they have done all together for their fieldwork. And this year peculiarly, they had a minute debate where they were given something to discuss, that the Bible would never mean now what never meant when it was said— what, what was said back then. So I'm trying to just paraphrase the topic. So, and everything with the research presentation. And for this year 2025, the The best group, ladies and gentlemen, is Group 4. Please put your hands together as they come. I expect you all to come, all Group 4 members. You should come, you should be excited. So, and I would say that it was a very outstanding one for this group. Their research work, we can get 3 3 publishable manuscripts from there. That's how outstanding their group is. 3 outstanding manuscripts. And this is the group lead here, Dr. Marvelous. Like, we don't have so much time, but what we'll just do here is that you will receive— I mean, maybe just the class rep and a few persons, we don't have so much time. The apostle himself will congratulate you. Then your award, we give it to— it's a robust award, a compilation of of Apostle's books given to all of you. But wait, wait, so they won't give you one. You're saying, where's the other one? We will share it. You will take one, she will take one, like that. So that's what it means. Thank you so much. I mean, look at your number. Can we celebrate them, please? Please, may I respectfully ask that you come forward? We can make it very fast. Everyone can get Apostle's handshake. Please make it very fast. It's very golden. Thank you. Please, the central rep be ready to do the next assignment. I think you can come forward right now. Central rep, Dr. Samson, please come forward. The video presentation for the students will be the first thing to come up, so we can wrap up right now. Thank you so much.

The principal, um, the directorate, and the esteemed members of the faculty, I count it a great privilege to stand on this podium, um, to represent the body of— the entire body of ISM 2025 students. Thank you so much for the trust, um, to lead these students and for this glorious day. We appreciate the impact you've had on us. We appreciate the knowledge, and we appreciate everything you've done for us. So briefly, on this auspicious occasion, I stand with a heart full of gratitude and honor. It has been a rare privilege to stand in this capacity among such distinguished rich student company of students, ministers, and leaders in the body of Christ. I count it all joy to have walked this path of growth, of resilience, of discipline, and of deep spiritual impartation alongside every one of you. Thank you so much for the trust. To our principal, Apostle Femi Lazarus, thank you for yielding your life to this vision to birth the International School of Ministry to raise God's end-time army. Thank you so much. You've really been a great impact on so many of us, and we want to return the appreciation to you today. Thank you so much, sir, and the entire faculty. Thank you. And to our director, Dr. Kunle Babaremu, thank you so much for your patience patience. Thank you for your leadership. Thank you for your guidance. We appreciate you, sir. Thank you. And the entire members of the faculty, from Pastor Cephas, thank you so much. Pastor, um, thank you so much, sir. Pastor, thank you, sir. And Pastor Wally, thank you for your guidance. Thank you for the intellectual impact. Thank you for the eye-opening corrections you gave to us throughout our presentations. Thank you so much, Pastor Miracle Femi Lazarus. Thank you, Mommy. Thank you, Ma, for your impact. Thank you so much for imparting to us. And to our principals, we are very grateful, sir. Thank you. Thank you. Serving as a student representative has taught me that leadership is not, um, just a position but a responsibility. And that honor, excellence, and humility are mere ideals— but I mean, honor, humility, and excellence are not mere ideas but a culture that we have to live daily. As we step into this new assignment as trained ministers, I pray that we receive what we have received, we echo in our everyday lives. Thank you all so much for the gift of trust and congratulations once again, colleagues.

I—

ISM Class 2025 cohort, thank you all so much. Now, as people of honor, we've been trained and we recognize that honor is not just what we give but who we are. And in that same spirit of honor, we are pleased to acknowledge and celebrate the esteemed members of our faculty and those among us who have distinguished themselves themselves in various capacities throughout this journey. And so before I call on, um, two of my colleagues to present our awards, we would like to have a 5-minute video presentation from one of our groups, Group 3. Please, let's have it now. Thank you.

I'd like to officially welcome you to the International School of Ministry 2025.

And to our 2025 course, I'd like to say you are greatly welcome.

But ministry is taken from the Greek word diakonia, which means service.

Ministry is not a product of contemplation, it's a must be a product of a clear calling.

It must not be an assumption. It must not be something you are trying to be sure whether it is whether or not your call. It must be a product of clarity that you are clear and aware. It is now your own responsibility to make sure that you have the requisite knowledge, you live the requisite life, and permit me to use the word, paid the requisite price that you are relevant for the fulfillment of your ministry. So an evangelist is an heralda, one who heralds the good news.

What's the good news?

One whose duty is to move, go to places and preach the gospel. The apostle is one who is commissioned anointed and graced to open up new territory and be able to not just win the soul of sinners, but to be able to establish them in doctrine and mature them till they are mature enough to do the work of ministry. Femi Lazarus, the pastor is a shepherd, is one who primarily sees to the affairs of the flock in doctrine and and care. So it means that if God is calling you as a pastor, it has to be based on a work that is on ground. Prophet literally is one who is sent to speak for, to speak forth, is a mouthpiece. That's the literal translation, a mouthpiece, one who speaks forth. He speaks on behalf of God. The teacher, which is from the Greek word didaskolos, which also means rabbi, is one who has a special anointing to explain scriptures. All right, one who has a special anointing to explain scriptures. Send them two and two before his face into every city and place whither he himself would come. Yes. Therefore he said unto them, the harvest is what? Truly great, but the laborers are what?

Few.

So he said, pray the Lord of the harvest that he will send laborers. So the purpose The purpose of power is labor. That's the purpose of power. Take responsibility. It's not for showmanship. Finally, something shifts. There is a fire that doesn't go out. There's an anointing that doesn't go away. At some point, places upon you and tell you, go spread it, go give it, take it out to your world. Have what it takes to communicate it. You have seen what it takes to have some, to feel some, to walk in some, but now take it and pass the torch, pass the fire.

Like the sons of Issachar, we have an understanding of the times, that we are end-time battalions. Hasnas el kwebers. Forged in the furnace of the scripture with research methodology, we know how to rightly divide the word of truth. With sound doctrine, we know how to divide the word of truth.

For it was Gogota, the sinking sand of dry bones and skulls that became our solid ground, the birthplace of a new generation of to find girls and find boys. We know they use Jesus to cash up, to cash out, or use the name of the Lord in vain as clickbait. For Mosquito Killer, for the cross and resurrection was a statement, said Jesus. Now they use horseplay, and it's from there we became not just saints but soldiers, not just revived but redeemed, because from there we were Called into the diakonia of reconciliation, marching to a kingdom rhythm of okodomio. Not with rifle or quest for revenge, but with revelation. Not with grenades or guns, but with grace. For we are transformed beings. The finished work of Calvary became our trophy. The assignment of Goliath He became our ministry. We became laborers who has refused to bury their talents even if it means setting out in the 11th hour. Watchmen who has refused to turn a blind eye or keep their mouth shut while the harvest is plenty. Men who would not watch another soldier of Christ lost to another tradition of religion. Like fire shut up in our bones, we are now flames of fire. At the crossroad of Diakonia with our unique voice and tools, grounded not by title but by the scars of Christ and the compass of the Spirit, to spread the word, pass on the torch, and equip our generation.

Like the sons of Issachar, we have an understanding of the times, that we are end-time battalions, asnas in the quiver of the Most style. We've been forged in the furnace of the scripture like iron sharpened at iron. We have been schooled, schooled in the school of ISM to rightly divide the word of truth, to rightly divide the word of truth with research methodology, to rightly understand sound doctrine with systematic theology.

For it was Golgotha, the sinking sand of dry bones and scars that became made him our solid ground. The birthplace of a new generation of fine girls and fine boys. We know they use Jesus to cash up, to cash out, or use the name of the Lord in vain as flips for mosquito killer. For the cross and resurrection was a statement, say Jesus. Though they use us plain, and it's from there we became not just saints but soldiers, not just revivals but or redeemed, so from there we were called. Called into the diakonia of reconciliation, marching into a kingdom, rhythm of okodomio. Not to trifle or quest for revenge, but to travelation, not with grenades or guns, but with grace. For we are transformed beings. The finished work of Calvary became our triumph. The assignment of Goyi became our ministry. We became watchmen who has refused to bury their talents even if it means setting out in the 11th hour. Watchmen who have refused to turn a blind eye or keep their mouth shut while the harvest is plenty. Men who would not watch another soldier of Christ lost to another mindless tradition of religion. There is a call in my generation, generation. Do you hear the Master's call?

Master's call. Oh yes, oh yes, yes, oh yes, yes, oh yes, yes, oh yes.

A burden in the Father's Father's heart. Do you hear the trumpet sound?

Trumpet sound. Yes, oh yes.

Yes, oh yes.

Yes, oh yes.

Yes, oh yes.

Yes, oh yes. Yes, oh yes. Yes, oh yes. Yes, oh yes! Yes, oh yes! Yes, oh yes! Yes, oh yes!

Generations are waiting and we have come to prepare. We won't stop, we won't quit till the kingdom is come. We are soldiers of the Lord in the rain and in the storm and in hunger and in thirst?

All we have to answer is yes! Oh yeah, oh yes, just so good! Yes, oh yes, yes, oh yes, yes, oh yes, yes, oh yes, yes, oh yes, mm-hmm, yes, oh yes! No turning back! No no no no turning back! No turning back! No no no no turning back! No turning back! No no no no turning back! I can never turn back! It's already too late! No, it won't make sense now. No, no, where am I going to? No, no turning back. No, no, no, no, no, no, no turning back.

Okay, um, I would like to call on— all right, thank you very much. I would like to call on one of our own also who has an artwork to present. So, Peace Adeyewoyin, can you come up please? Peace Adeyewoyin. All right, thank you.

Good evening, my principal, the director, and the faculty. Thank you so much for ISM. My graduands for today, I am so glad to have met you. So I want to present this artwork to just show an expression of what ISM has been to not just me but every one of us. So we can see some unlit matchsticks sticks. I, I don't know if you can raise it up a little. Okay, so there are some unlit matchsticks that is kind of global, and that's representing everybody in the world. There are many because we are many, but out of everybody, a few of us came out for ISM, and ISM has lit us up, not just to be candles, but to be a blazing fire that will shine forth and over— like overthrow the darkness. And Isaiah chapter 60, verse 2 says, for behold, the darkness shall, shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people, but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory be seen upon thee. So ISM is just being that fire that lights us up and we shine forth to the world. Thank you.

Thank you very much. God bless you. You might give it to your rep. Let's have it, then we'll take it later. We are gradually rounding off and we draw the curtain. And please, class rep, you have just few seconds to do this. Thank you.

Femi Lazarus. Sir, you are not just a man of God, you're not just anointed. I believe very strongly in my heart that, um, God has raised you for such a time as this to bring clarity to certain misrepresentations in the body of Christ and to use you as an example to remodel what a genuine ministry is all about. And we are so glad to have you. Thank Thank you, thank you. Please celebrate Apostle Femi Lazarus. And Apostle, I believe very strongly, you know, while I was praying in God's presence, for the Lord laid this on my heart, that this is one of your key secrets. This is one of your core secrets. You have chosen the good path and it shall not be taken away from you. You have a heart. You're a good man. You are not just a good— you are a good— please celebrate Celebrate him. Say, you're a good man.

You're a good man.

You're a good man. One of the things that I'm always enthralled by as I watch the grace of God upon your life, that as God began to raise you in ministry, you carried everyone along. Nobody connected to you has ever remained small, and we celebrate you for it. Please celebrate him. Celebrate him. I don't want to mention names and I don't want to put out figures. I know many, many, many, many people— not just people, institutions, organizations, ministries— that have been partakers and beneficiaries of the magnanimity and the benevolence and the large-heartedness of this Apostle of Wisdom. And it's such a blessing. Listen, listen, listen to me, somebody. Let me say I said this, men like this. Hallelujah! Thank you, Mommy.

Hallelujah!

Men like this come in a generation. Men like Apostle Femi Lazarus come in a generation. I celebrate your consistency. I celebrate your faithfulness. I celebrate authority with simplicity. So simple. No airs, no packaging. You are just yourself glorifying Christ and extending the frontiers of the kingdom. I love you. Please celebrate him.

Hallelujah!

Hallelujah! Blessed be the name of the Lord. Now I have seen many ministers' wives, and you see, I don't exaggerate. Yes, yes, yes, I don't, I don't exaggerate. I speak from my heart. You know, when some years, a few years ago, I said Pastor Mimi was a breath of fresh air, and then Daddy and Mommy with— please help me celebrate Daddy and Mommy. Mummy, for blessing us with the gift of Pastor Miracle. She has brought veve and neve. I've seen pastors' wives, I've seen ministers' wives. She's loaded, she's fiery, but she has a heart for God, for the people. We celebrate you, Mama. We celebrate you. Thank you for your kindness. Thank you for your kindness. Thank you for carrying everyone along. Thank you for loving the Apostle. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Listen to this. If kindness, if kindness were to be a person, or niceness were to be a person, And definitely that will be Pastor Miracle Femi Lazarus. I celebrate you, man. Please celebrate her. Celebrate her. Celebrate her. Glory to God. Uh, I want to celebrate my beautiful wife. We came together.

Thank you.

Hallelujah. And by the grace of God, 2 days ago she clocked 40. And she's ever fortified. Please celebrate her. By God's grace, next Saturday— I've been planning since last year, and then she was, you know, she was aghast. I've been planning since last year. We want to celebrate it big next Saturday. Please let me celebrate this great woman. Thank you, Silove. I love you. Blessed be the name of the Lord. Minister Moses, thank you, sir, for always Please help me celebrate, celebrate, celebrate! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Glory to God! Please, let's take a seat in God's presence. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Thank you, Jesus! Thank you, Jesus! Now I have less than 1 hour to minister, and I want us to follow, you know, by the Spirit, because I came with the word of the Lord. And then by the grace of God, I have never been under any pressure whatsoever to prophesy. I've never been under any pressure to give a prophetic word. If God is not speaking, I don't speak. And then I told Apostle in the buildup today's Festival of Life, I said the Lord showed me a vision in March this year. Femi Lazarus, concerning this conference. And in preparing for this meeting, I told me, God, this— and please let me, let me congratulate the entire Light Nation on the 7th anniversary. Please celebrate yourself, celebrate yourself, celebrate. And I want to say huge congratulations. This is a milestone festival and it's a decisive factor. And you see, uh, I believe very strongly in my heart that, uh, God is bringing fresh words from heaven today, and I want us to listen very carefully. I will try as much as possible to maintain brevity, and it's going to be a prophetic night. So the Lord showed me a vision, March, and then because I understand and I understood as of then that this is not just an ordinary conference, it's not a conference, a festival, it's, uh, you know, a gathering, a prophetic Femi Lazarus, that the time is the next phase of the ministry. So I went on a 21-day fasting and prayer for this conference to prepare. Now, why did I do that? Because of the sanctity and the sacredness and the sensitivity of what God is about to do. The Lord showed me a vision in March this year, and I told the apostle, I said, I will not declare it because that's instruction. I will declare it day. And I saw the man of God before the throne of grace, before the throne of God. He knelt down before the throne, not open vision, knelt down as I began to pray and pray and pray for Festival of Life. And I saw in his right hand that was handed over to you, sir, I saw a golden scepter that you were holding. I saw it. Please sit down, sir. Please Sit down, please. Just sit down, sir. I saw a golden scepter that you were holding, and I said, we're gonna pray. And you know, one of the things that the Lord did for me as I was preparing for this conference was that there were a couple of divine interruptions. Sometimes while just studying the word of God in the library and studying, the mantle of prayer would just come on me, bam, to pray specifically for this conference several times. Studying the Bible, the mantle of prayer will come on me and I will just, you know, check out and begin to pray and begin to grow in the spirit. So the Lord showed me that vision. I said, what is this and what meaneth this? Because when God is speaking symbolically and prophetically, you, you can't interpret it in your own, I mean, finite understanding. You rely on the Holy Spirit to give interpretation. And 3 scriptures were fired to my heart. The first anchor scripture the Spirit of the Lord gave— that was as, as, as at March this year— is Genesis chapter 49 and verse 10. Genesis 49:10. We're going to read two translations. Can we read this together? 1, 2, 3, go! The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a law lawgiver from between his feet until Shiloh comes, and unto him shall the gathering of his people be. The second scripture is Hebrews chapter 1 and verse 8. Hebrews chapter 1 and verse 8. I'm declaring the word for the next phase based on what the Spirit of the Lord indicated, and it dovetails to the theme of this conference. Let's read. 1, 2, 3, go! Unto the Son David said, thy throne, oh God, is forever in heaven. A scepter of righteousness is a scepter of thy kingdom. The third scripture is Zechariah chapter 8 and verse 23. Zechariah chapter 8. Now what God is doing here, we have a spillover effect on every member of this ministry. Now look at verse 23. Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Let's read. In those days it shall come to pass that 10 men shall take hold out of all languages, of all nations, and shall take hold of the skirts of him that is a Jew, saying, we will go with you, for we have heard that God is with you. Listen to this. Let's read the Amplified Classic in Genesis, and that's the last scripture on this. Amplified Genesis 49:10, the Amplified Classic. Can we read this together? 1, 2, 3, go! The scepter or leadership shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, until Shiloh, the Messiah, the peaceful one, to whom it belongs, and to him shall the obedience of the people. Now this is the word of the Lord. You know, Jesus is our Shiloh and is coming back in the rapture. Titus chapter 2 and verse 13, he said, looking for that blessed hope and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ. And he said to stay to this house, he said, till the rapture The scepter will not depart from this house. It's time to declare that as you are moving to the new season, it's your season of leadership. Can somebody say leadership? Say leadership! Say leadership! In every sphere of life, you will be taking the lead from henceforth because the mantle of leadership is coming upon you tonight. The mantle of global leadership is coming upon you tonight. Leadership and royalty. So when I saw yesterday, we never planned it. I didn't know the rationale behind the decision to go royal the first day. So I told my wife, this is what the Spirit of the Lord said to me: leadership and royalty. And I had the voice of the Spirit. Listen. He said there is a tribe rising in the body of Christ producing kings. It is like nation. There's a tribe rising. In the place of prayer, the Lord said to me, said, there is a tribe rising in the body of Christ in this day and in this hour that is going to be a lineage of kings. And he said it is a like nation. There is a new level. I see in the spirit as I'm speaking now, there is a new platform where authority of a higher dimension will be demonstrated in profusing dimensions. This is the word of the Lord. And let me say this prophetically, some who don't understand may think you are just braggers, that you are arrogant, you're proud. No, it is your destiny. And tonight I speak by the apostolic and the prophetic grace upon my life, you will enter into that destiny now. Enter into that destiny now. Enter into that destiny now. In the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus, the wisdom to command kingdom leadership, global leadership in every sphere of life, let it rest upon you right now. Let it rest upon you right now in the name of Jesus. Please, let's be seated. Apostle, there is a coronation that is going on in the realm of the spirit. It's a new level of authority. I insist, sir, there are certain things that will be happening to you after this Festival of Life. They are beyond you. It's not just about your desire or your ability or your discretion. It is the call of God carved out before the foundation of the earth, finding expression now. And everyone that is connected to you will partake of that grace. Now let me put a theological framework, you know, to this word. I'm speaking very briefly because we are still gonna pray, I'm still gonna anoint. Now I'm speaking very briefly on the theme, the sure mercies of David. Can someone say sure mercies of David? Say it loud. Say sure mercies of David. David. Isaiah chapter 55 and then verse 3. Isaiah 55 and verse 3. The scripture says, incline your ear and come unto me, and, eh, and your soul shall live, and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David. Now there are two things that stand out in that Scripture. I said, I will make an everlasting covenant with you. And what is a covenant? He said, a covenant is a sure message of David. So it therefore means that mercy is a covenant. It's not just a compliment. Now, in other words, mercy— God's mercy is not a complimentary gesture. It is a covenant expression. Tomorrow morning I will talk about the covenant of The number 2 in that scripture, you see the word mercy is pluralized. It said the sure mercies of David. Mercies of David. Now what does that mean? Now the sure mercies of David means the manifestations and the expressions of God's mercy in the life of David. And I want to say this, see, when God demonstrates his mercy towards a man, it will put up the stature of God's plan for that man. And when you read the scriptures, the scripture tells us very clearly, you know, in, uh, Matthew chapter 1 and verse 1, it said the book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. I read in the scripture that say when the scripture talks about faith, for instance, the, the, the example, the prototype, the pattern that God gave us in scripture is Abraham. Am I correct? I mean, Romans chapter number 4, verse 12, it says you walk in the steps of your, of the faith of your father Abraham. But when you look at mercy, now you see that David was the one who, by the grace of election, was chosen to embody and to represent the mercy of God. And so during Jesus's earthly ministry, now people cried to him, they said, Jesus, son of Abraham, 'Abraham, have mercy on me.' What was said? 'Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.' Because David became a generational reference for the outworking of God's mercy, just like Abraham became a generational reference for God's— for faith and walk in faith. So you say, 'Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me. There are people like that, that God in his own discretion, eternal discretion, will pick and choose and call them for them to embody certain realities and dimensions of God, not just for themselves or for their generation, but for generations to come. And then that is what the Spirit of the Lord is saying to the Hey, can somebody say the sure mercies of David? Say loud, say the sure mercies of David. Glory to God. And so we realize, when you look at the man David, I mean, he was a young boy. Everything about his life was a product of God's mercy. And he said— I read in scripture some time ago, 2 Samuel chapter 21— 23 and verse 1. 2 Samuel 23 and verse 1. Look at what the scripture says, now this be the last words of David. David the son of Jesse said, let's read, 1, 2, 3, go. And the man who was raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob and the sweet psalmist of Israel. David was raised, in other words, David did not climb, David rose.

Femi Lazarus.

David did not use a ladder or a staircase. He used a divine elevator. That's why you see that he was raised up on high. Now, if you have ever been inside an elevator before, you know, you're just walking, you just stand there, it requires no effort. Am I correct? You are being raised, you are being carried when you stand inside an elevator. Elevator. But if you are using the staircase, you make effort, you make effort. And God help you if you are climbing, you know, 20-story building, you are on your own. But if you are inside an elevator, you are carried. It requires no effort, no effort at all. I want to prophesy over somebody tonight. Let the elevators of the spirit be released now in the name of Jesus. Make a go back. Release now in the name of Jesus. Please, let's take a seat. The man who was raised upon her, there was an invisible hand that raised him. He did not climb. Now I'm saying in the spirit, I see people here, you are skipping steps. Please, let's take a seat. God's mercy is not exclusive. God's mercy is inclusive, and God is rich in mercy. What it does is that it breaks human protocol, breaks human protocol, and it opens you up to the realm of divine elevation. Now when I look at the life of David, now if I've ever traveled to the Holy Land, to Israel, maybe for a pilgrimage, and then you land in Tel Aviv International Airport, and then, uh, the, the tour guide is taking you around, now you begin to see many monuments built to the remembrance of David. Saint David Cathedral, Saint David— this— Saint— and see, David was not the first king of Israel. Somebody occupied that position before. You rarely see any monument built to the remembrance of Saul. I don't want to read too much scriptures to maintain brevity. Saul died on Mount Gibeah, and David wrote an epitaph, and he said, the beauty of Israel is slain, our mighty fallen. Tell it not in Gath, publish it not on the streets of Let the daughters of the Philistines rejoice. Let the daughters of the uncircumcised rejoice. He said Saul died as though he was not anointed with oil. Sir, one of the things the Spirit of the Lord said to me here, that that word is a prophetic word. Till Jesus comes, till Jesus comes, till we see Jesus in the rapture, light nation will be producing kings in the body of Christ. Oh, thank you, Jesus. Psalm 89. Please, let's sit down. Psalm 89. I want to show you something about David that made him unique. You know, we teach by way of eschatology that during the millennium— the millennium is a Latin word which means a thousand years— and so Revelation chapter 20 20, and verse 6 talks about it, that Jesus is going to reign on the earth for 1,000 years. 1,000 years. And the scripture says very clearly that during this time, David himself will deputize the Lord Jesus. There are possessions you don't get because of what you did or what you did not do. They are supremely based on God's eternal prerogative. For instance, look at Mary. There are many virgins in Israel, and the angel appeared to Mary and he said, thou art highly favored, the Lord is with you. He said, fear not, Mary, for you have found favor with God. Now it was not because of what Mary did. David will rule for 1,000 years under the government of Jesus. I'm showing you something about this And you see, God looked through the windows of eternity and he said, well, I've got a plan on the earth. I've got a plan on the earth to execute a plan. Jesus is coming to the earth to establish my kingdom on the earth. And he said, who among all the patriarchs and the protagonists of the Old Covenant or Old Testament will I choose to represent a model that Jesus will adopt as his own pattern of ministry. And he said when he looked through the, you know, the grandstands of eternity, he said it is David. And he put it in the mouth of the holy prophet Isaiah. And Isaiah said, Isaiah chapter 9, verse 6 and 7, unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, the government shall be upon his His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. Let's read verse 7 together. 1, 2, 3, go! Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, upon his kingdom, to establish it, to order it, and establish it with judgment and justice. From henceforth, even for forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts shall perform it. So he chose David that he would be the one to represent the kind of model that God wanted to work with. And this is very important. So when you look at King Saul, you really see any monument built to his remembrance. But David— God said to David, look at it in Psalm 89. Psalm 89, I'm going to be sharing tomorrow morning on the— and so enough time to teach tomorrow, but it's a prophetic night. Look at Psalm 89. Psalm 89. Blessed be the name of the Lord. I said, blessed be the name of the Lord. Now I read verse 3. I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant. So let's skip that. Verse 20. Now it says, I have found David my servant with my holy oil. Have I anointed him. So let's keep that again. Now look at it. Let's read verse 29 together. 1, 2, 3, go! His seed will I make to endure forever, and his throne as the days of heaven. Now that means David was not just blessed with prosperity Prosperity. He was also blessed with posterity. The Lord said, prosperity without posterity is austerity. What is the value of a man who is rich but the children are poor? Now what is the value of a man who is rich but the generation is poor? The Bible says a good man leaves an inheritance for his children's children. Proverbs 13:22. So God told David, he said that your seed We abide forever and ever, forever and ever. There is a blessing of posterity coming upon this house tonight, coming upon this house tonight. Listen to this. There are people I've seen, you know, a leader in the work of ministry. There are people who appear on the horizon, bam, they blew, and they blew off. You don't hear them again. But when you talk about posterity, that means Every day you are registering something new as far as God is concerned. You cannot become ex-anointed. In other words, every day there is something new that God is doing in your life. It's called the blessing of eternal relevance. You will be relevant eternally. I said you'll be relevant eternally. I As these pronouncements are coming, for those of us operating across the 7 mountains of influence and different spheres of life, they'll be taking up the shape of the specific task that you are engaging. In other words, you start businesses, you start universities, you start schools, you start corporations, industries, they will never close down. They will never be closed down. Down. In the next 100 years, if Jesus tarries, the work he has committed to your hand will still be speaking like fire. It will be speaking like fire. It will be speaking like fire. It will be speaking like Fire in the name of Jesus. Let's take a seat, please. The Bible says the righteous will be in everlasting remembrance. Everlasting remembrance. Psalm 112, look at it, and verse 6. Psalm 112 and verse 6. Blessed be the name of the Lord. The righteous— let's read, 1, 2, 3, go! Surely it shall not be moved. The righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. David was a young boy and then he was chosen by God. Mercy located him. Mercy will locate somebody tonight. I said mercy will locate somebody tonight in the name of Jesus Christ. Now let me dissect prophetically. God said The word is the season of leadership. Look at it. The scepter shall not depart from Judah. Judah is a lineage of kings. Everyone who ruled— I mean, look at it, look at it, look at it. The scripture tells us in Joshua 1:1, it said, after the death of Moses, he said, the Lord spoke to Joshua saying what? Moses, my servant, is dead, rise, take the people to the land. But he said when Joshua died, in Judges chapter 1, and from verse 1, the scripture tells us there was no successor. And God spoke. Look at it. Judges chapter 1 from verse 1, verse 1 and 2. Now after the death of Joshua, it came to pass that the children of Israel asked the Lord, saying, who shall go up, Pharaoh, against the Canaanites to fight against them. There was a vacuum in leadership. Then verse 2, look at what God said. 1, 2, 3, go! The Lord said, Judah shall go up. Behold, I have delivered the land to his hand. Listen to this. There are 4 covenants operating in this house: the covenant of life, the covenant of ease, the covenant of sure mercies, and the covenant of praise. Judah means praise. And he said, listen, I have delivered the land into his hand. Let the people praise thee. Psalm 67:5. Oh God, let the people praise thee. The earth shall yield her increase because he has delivered the land into your hand. Therefore, lift your hands every As praises go up in this house, God will deliver territories into your hand.

Receive it!

Receive it! I have delivered the land to the hand of Judah. As praises go up in this house, you begin to take territories. You will take lands. You take different spheres of life in the name of Jesus. At this Festival of Life, I see the Judah generation rising now. I see the Judah generation rising now in the name of Jesus. Jesus, please take your seat. Oh Lord Jesus. Revelation chapter 5. And then verse 5. Revelation 5 and verse 5. Can we read this together? 1, 2, 3, go! One of the elders said to me, weep not, behold the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has opened the book and to loose the 7 seals dear of— everybody look up— the Lion of the tribe of Judah. The tribe of Judah was the tribe that produced kings. So in other words, the tribe of Judah does not produce chickens, it produces lions. Talking about Jesus, Jesus is not a lion lion among sheep. Understand the context. If Jesus were to be a lion among sheep, it would devour the sheep. Lions don't eat lions, but when a lion sight a sheep, it will be devoured. Am I correct? When the Bible said the lion of the tribe of Judah, he said in the tribe of Judah they produce lions. But when among the first begotten from the is like the leader. So to put that in another context, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah means the king among the lions of Judah. Did you get that? Glory to God. In other words, we have many lions in Judah, but there is a king, the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God. Revelation 22:16. I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify this among the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright and the morning star. Can you imagine? The root and the offspring. The root means I'm the source and I'm still the product. Root of David. I am a source of David, and I'm still a product of that lineage in the flesh. Hebrews 2, verse— Hebrews chapter 2 and verse 16, he said he did not put on, you know, the form of angels, but put on him the seed of Abraham. And Matthew 1:1, Jesus Christ, the book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David and the son of Abraham. Jesus did not come to establish a genealogy. He came to birth a generation, the generation of Jesus Christ. Genealogy is historical, generation is prophetic. And that's why the scripture says in Psalm 22:30, and tell you why A seed shall serve him. It shall be accounted unto the Lord for a generation. And they said, in the next verse, look at it, next verse, they shall come and declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he has done this. Blessed be the name of the Lord. There is a new generation rising here tonight, a generation of territory takers. A generation of giant killers in the name of Jesus Christ. A major emblem, a major prophetic emblem that came with Festival of Life 2025 is authority. Can somebody say authority? Say it again, say authority. See, ability without authority will produce no result. You have the ability, but you don't have the authority. How many presidents do we have in Nigeria on social media? How many? Many president. I can do it. You have the ability, but you don't have the authority. There's only one person who has the authority. Now I want to say this, Prophet There are people here, you have ability, you are skillful, but God will endow you with authority tonight. That will give legitimate expressions to the giftings of God in your life and it will manifest in your domain of reality, in your sphere of influence. Influence every day of your life in the name of Jesus Christ. Blessed be the name of the Lord. Glory to God. Somebody say, there is a tribe. Now, when I said that, it's not human coinage. It's a prophetic statement I had in prayer. There is a tribe There is a tribe rising in the body of Christ today, and that tribe is producing kings across all spheres of life. And you know, Apostle, I never knew that day one you were going to go royal. I told my wife I should have come with my— the initial plan for me was to come with my agbara with flowing gown. I just praise God before you announced it. The Spirit of the Lord is one. I said the Spirit of the Lord is one. I said the Spirit of the Lord is one. Blessed be the name of the Lord. Oh, thank you, Jesus. See, I've done said the Judah generation is rising now.

Say it again, one more time.

The Judah generation is rising. Ah, when we preach from the life of Saul, the first king of Israel, we preach to warn the people. When we preach the life of David, we preach to encourage the people. It was David who said in Psalm 40 from verse 1, so Femi, look at it. Psalm 40. A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the Lord. He inclined unto me and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of a horrible pit and out of the miry clay. Ah, look at it. And set my feet upon the rock and established my goings. Verse 3. Let's read this together. 1, 2, 3, go. And he has put a new song in my mouth. Even praise unto our God. Many shall see it and fear and shall trust in the Lord. By God's grace, tomorrow when we talk about the covenant of mercy, we begin to establish the biblical framework for the outworkings of God's mercy as we look very critically to the, in the, to the, you know, at David, at the life of David. Now he was a worshiper. One day when they were bring— when they brought back the testimony to Jerusalem, David was dancing. 2 Samuel chapter 6, he danced with all his might. He danced with all his might. He danced with all his might. And his wife, the daughter of Saul, said, what happened to the king of Israel today that he's embarrassing himself before all these small, small girls of Israel? David said, it was because the Lord chose me ahead of your father. He said, I I will be basing my heights even more the more. You know, when I see the way you praise and dance in this house, there is no packaging. You don't form. You don't form. He knew where God brought him. Okay, because of time, I have like 20 minutes to go and I want to keep the time. Let me just— I just came here to know how to prophesy, but let me show you like 15 dimensions nations. And I will just, you know, rush that and then we close. Look at it. Of the— when we're talking about the short messages of David, glory to God. Number 1, look at an expression. That's why, you know, when there is a message of divine healing, the message of health, the message of prosperity— so God's mercy is God's alacrity. God's grace is God's ability. Somebody— see, I was preaching recently somewhere. And I said, one of the challenges we have in the body of Christ today, a lot of people have got power but they are not compassionate. They're not compassionate. They have authority but they lack compassion. They're not like Jesus. They're not compassionate. And when you give power to a man who is not compassionate, he will destroy lives. David knew where God picked him from? He was tending the sheep in the wilderness, and a lion and a bear came to snatch one of the sheep. And David went after it and he slew it. And he told Goliath— he told Saul, he said, so shall God do to this uncircumcised Philistine. The Lord who delivered me from the paw of the lion, the paw of the bear, he will deliver you into my hand. When he spoke those words, Goliath was dead because it was not physical. There was a physical dimension to it, but it was a spiritual warfare. How do I know? Goliath cursed David in the name of his gods. Dagon was one of the gods of the Philistines. And David replied that, uh, the Lord of Hosts will deliver you into my hand, and all Israel— they will not know that I'm anointed. All Israel will know that there is a God in Israel. Glory to God. I said glory to God. Let me quickly run through this. I will not teach you, you know, at length. Number 1, we see the mercy of election. David was chosen in Acts chapter number 13, verse 21 to 23. The scripture tells us that he gave them Saul, but he raised David. There are two different things. He gave them Saul God wanted to be their king, but he said, okay, okay, he gave it to them. So Saul was not a product of training. He was not a product of any process. But David was trained. He was the one who said, blessed be the Lord my strength, who teacheth my hands to war and my fingers to fight. Psalm 144:1. He was trained. Grace chose him. Grace is speaking to somebody here today. Mercy is locating somebody here today. By the grace of God, in my ministerial history, the Lord brought me to a point by simply by mercy. It was not by hustle and bustle. It was a mercy of God. It was a mercy of God. And let me say this: without the mercy of God, your life will be messy. The first one is M-E-R-C-E. The second one is M-E-S-S-Y. Without the mercy of God, the life becomes messy. David was chosen, so it's the grace of election. The number 2, we see the mercy of divine exaltation. The man who was raised on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob and the sweet psalmist of Israel. 2 Samuel chapter 23 and verse 1. The number 3, listen to this, there is a mercy of divine preservation. The Lord will preserve you. The Lord will not just be your sun, it will be your shield. See, the devil sent the lion lion to kill David, send a bear to kill David. Grace, mercy rescued him. And when he was delivered from that experience, negative, you know, encounter with those beasts, wild beasts, then came another battle, the battle of jealousy. And Saul, the woman of Israel, they began to sing that Saul has slain a thousand, right? And David is 10,000. And Saul became envious. There are battles in ministry. This is not a ministers' conference. There are battles in life. And he began to eye him from that point. And one day he hurled a javelin to kill him. Saul was a Benjamite. One of their core areas of strength was shooting— you know, arrows. And then for the reason best known to God, that thing deflected. It did not hit David. The Lord will preserve you. I said the Lord will preserve you. The Lord will preserve you in the name of Jesus Christ. Glory to God. There is a song the Lord laid on my night in prayer and then to sing here. And this— don't be afraid, there are battles left and right. I'm telling you, if you don't want jealousy, the jealousy of men, remain small. But it is not your destiny to remain small. Mercy will catapult you to the height of glory. In the name of Jesus Christ. Oh, sing it two more times. Let's sing it for the last time.

Emashe, emashe, Femi Lazarus.

He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit said to the church. The Lord spoke to me right now. And he said to tell the house, the storms that the devil has prepared for the future, he said two things will happen to those storms. Number one, that you will ride on them. Instead of those storms to bring you down, they will become a platform for elevation. Hey, there are storms you don't I see, see the realm you are— ah, this work is delicate. The realm you are getting into now, the realm of authority, some people will misunderstand. There'll be battles. Ogu eye amima. But God said to tell you, I have gone ahead of you.

I have gone I have gone ahead of you.

The one who is the glory of Israel, he will shield you from every storm. I speak to future storms, myera ke kompareta ke porakatapaya, that the devil is planning right now. I said, peace be still. Peace be still. Be still in the name of Jesus Christ. Listen to this: anyone who is fighting you is fighting us and is fighting every grace I'm connected to. Anyone, anyone, this is a house of honor. I pronounce the fatherly blessing. You will not see horror. This is a house of honor. You will never see horror. You will not see evil. You will not see evil all the days of your life. All the days of your life. All the days of your life. The things the devil may be planning that your mind is not captured— you can't even capture it— they are taken care of right now. You will go from glory to glory, from grace to grace, from strength to strength, in the name of Jesus. Please, let's rise. Let's take that song two more times.

One more time. Oh God, good.

Let's, let's sit down. I have like 5, 10 minutes to go. Number 4 is a message of victory and conquest. God gave him victory over all his enemies. Psalm 144: This one, number 5, is a mercy of divine vindication. God will vindicate you. David saw warfare. He saw internal, you know, conspiracy. His own son Absalom rose against him. There are people that did not show loyalty to him. But God vindicated him. Now there is somebody here. The Lord showed me in a vision, and I'm speaking right now. You are speaking, you are speaking. I saw you in the spirit, you are speaking, but, um, it's just like nobody is hearing. Now the Lord said to tell you, he said your voice is amplified right now. Now he said I should tell you there is no speech no language where your voice is not heard. Your voice will be heard all over the world in the name of Jesus Christ. Now say after me, say, mantles are dropping tonight. Say loud, say mantles are dropping tonight.

Mantles are dropping tonight.

Please take your seats. Second Samuel 2 Samuel 18:31. 2 Samuel 18:31. Ministry is deep. And behold, Cushai came, and Cushai said, Tidings, my lord the king, for the Lord has avenged this day of all them that rose against thee. Anyone who is fighting this house is fighting the stone of Israel. Israel. They will be grounded into powder. I said they will be grounded into powder in the name of Jesus Christ. That is a mercy of forgiveness. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me. Bless his holy name who forgiveth all the iniquities, who healeth all thy diseases. Psalm 103:1-2. Now it means God can give you a brand new beginning. The number 7, that is a mercy of answered prayer. Let me just run through this and we pray. Now we're going to till tomorrow. Psalm 40:1, the mercy of answered prayer. I cried to the Lord, he answered me. He answered me. And I know you sing it regularly in this house. Now I speak over the platform called PPC. After Festival of Life, testimonies will be times 100. Daily testimonies, uncountable testimonies. I heard it again, he said mantles are dropping tonight. Mantles are dropping tonight. You will carry the mantle.

You will carry the mantle.

Listen, it's not a man-made mantle. Saul tried to harm David with a coat of mail, but I said no. God is releasing fresh mantles tonight. Receive your all now in the name of Jesus. Please let's rise. I will draw the curtains very soon. That is a mercy of divine help. No, okay, sorry, I meant to say let's sit, please. Sorry, sorry, let's sit. Sorry, please. That is a mercy of divine help. Can somebody say divine help. Day by day, God sent helpers to David. You will enjoy daily helpers. 1 Chronicles chapter 12, verse 21 to 23. You enjoy daily helpers. You will not be ashamed. God will bless you with the gift of men. There are men, when they come into your life, life in one year, your productivity will multiply by 100. He's blessing you with such men. And listen, with specific mention for those of us who are into the corporate world, I'm saying that the corporate or professionals, I see God raising men who will raise your hand. They will raise your hand. Your hands will not be weakened. Your hands will not be weakened. My God will bless you with burden bearers. In the name of Jesus Christ, I speak by the apostolic and prophetic grace. Listen to this: your youth shall be renewed like the eagles. When you clock 80, you'll be looking 10 Receive it now! Receive it now! Receive it now! In the name of Jesus! Please, let's take our seats. As a message of divine speed, at 30 David became the king, 2 Samuel 5:4. Joseph became the prime minister at 30. Genesis 41:47. 6. Luke 3:23, Jesus began to be 30. And number 10, the mercy of divine satisfaction. Who satisfy my mouth with good things? Your mouth is satisfied tonight with good things in the name of Jesus. Number 11, the mercy of prosperity. Prosperity. When David was about to pass on and then he wanted to be build for the Lord, and the Lord said you will not build it. And in 1 Chronicles 22 and verse 5, before David passed on, he made abundant preparation. He was very rich. Let's read this together. 1, 2, 3, go! And David said, what? Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house to be built for the Lord must be exceeding magnifica, of fame and of glory throughout all countries. I will therefore now make preparation for it. Let's complete that. So David prepared abundantly for his men. Very, very rich. Prosperity. Prosperity. Number 12, the mercy of divine influence. God will give you influence. Psalm 89:25, he said, we stretch forth his hands towards the sea, his right hand in the rivers. That's about influence. The mercy of divine establishment. My right hand will establish him. Psalm 89:21. The mercy of long life. Nothing dies in your hand. There is a covenant of life over this house. Nothing dies in your hand. This church will not bury young people in the name of Jesus Christ. In the name of Jesus Christ. 2 Samuel 2 Samuel chapter 7, verse 12. Let's read 2 Samuel chapter 7 and verse 12. Let's read. 1, 2, 3, go! And when thy days shall be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, and I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. Nobody will die young in this house in the name of Jesus Christ. Long life in the name of Jesus. Long life in the name Jesus. Long life in the name of Jesus. Finally, as I close, the mercy of transgenerational relevance. Transgenerational relevance. Transgenerational relevance. Psalm 89:35-37. As we close tonight, oh my, my, my, God said this also to Abraham. Abraham. He swore by himself. And then God told David, you know, he told Abraham, he said he could not swear by anything greater. He swore by himself. And God swore. Tomorrow will show us the practical dimensions. Now, once I've sworn by my holiness, listen, what he's saying is that the reason the word of God that proceeds from the mouth of God to you as a prophetic word will fall to is when God starts sinning. When God starts sinning. And the eyes of the Lord are too pure, they cannot behold iniquity. He said, I swore by my holiness. He's called the Holy One of Israel. So he's saying that if you can ever imagine God come down from the throne and go and fornicate and commit adultery and sleep, then all the words I spoke will not come to pass. But if my holiness is forever and ever, then my word to you is sure banker. Glory to God. Once have I— please let's project that scripture. Once have I sworn by my holiness, I will not lie to David. Ah, listen, let me say this. See, when Jesus comes, when Jesus comes, you know, the rapture is just— the rapture is not the second Second Coming. The Rapture, Jesus is coming for the saints. The Second Coming is coming with the saints. When the war of Armageddon is going on and Jesus comes with us, with the saints, arrest the Antichrist, sentence him to the abyss, and then for 1,000 years Jesus will reign. All the promises God made to Abraham, that there are regions in Palestine, the Palestinian region, that have been ceded, you know, unofficially, somehow through conquest or battle over the years, he will come and then repossess those regions and fulfill his covenant to Abraham. That's what he said. God, tomorrow God laid on my heart to talk on covenant. God is— ah, he said, I will not lie. I will not lie to David. I'm closing now. Let's project it. I will not lie to David. What did he say? And let's read.

1, 2, 3, go!

His seed shall endure forever and his throne as the sun before me. This takes us back to the anchor word for the season. You cannot talk about throne without scepter. Am I correct? There's a staff of office. So it's a season of leadership. It's a season of royalty.

Throne.

Say your throne will be like the sun, like the gates of heaven. It's a covenant. Please, let's rise to our feet, somebody. Apostle Mama, please come, let me pray for you. I will anoint you twice. I will anoint you tonight and tomorrow morning. Let's bring the Holy Ghost. Let's bring the Holy Ghost. Pray in the Holy Ghost, somebody. Please, can we get Pastor Shola Shogun? Please let me have Pastor Joseph. Let's come here, please. Pastor Tumi, let me have your wives to help.

Thank you, sir.

You can go on your knees. Pray in the spirit. Pray in the spirit. In Jesus' name. Tonight I will pronounce a word for the season over you. Tomorrow, Psalm 89, I'll pronounce those words over you. There is a divine coronation going on in the spirit. There is a new level of authority. There is a staff of office that God is giving to you. The Lord said to tell the Light Nation, he says, a season of leadership. Say after me, say leadership. Lift up your two hands, everyone. You are taking the lead. You are taking leadership. You will lead the nations of the earth in the name of Jesus. I'm still coming back. Stretch forth your hands towards the Apostle and let's pray in the Spirit. And Mama, pray in the Holy Ghost and stretch your hands towards them and pray. Lord, confirm your word. Yes, Lord.

Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord.

Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord! Hey, thank you, Lord! Thank you, Lord! Hallelujah! Please come, sit down. Please come, choir. Please, can you help me to take this song Jesus is the Lord. Hallelujah. Please help me take that song. Pray in the spirit.

I'm simple.

Join your hands together, please. Join your hands together. Pray in the Holy Ghost.

All will sing! Oh oh oh—

Hallelujah! One more time!

All the nations of the world will sing Jesus is the Lord! Yes he's the Lord! All the nations of the world will say hallelujah! Alleluia!

I saw Light Nation.

Amen.

Light Nation is a nation that is leading nations, said the Spirit of Grace. And I saw the Lord strengthening your hands in the spirit. He said men will come from— Zechariah 8:23— from different nations. They will take hold of a member, every member of Light Nation. And they will say, we go with you, because they are providing leadership. Father, the vision you have shown concerning your servant and your handmaiden, Lord, confirm it right now. Let me hear a louder amen. Lord, confirm your word in this life. Confirm your word in her life. I decree right now that coronation happening in the spirit. Is taking place right now in your life, in your ministry. Maira, receive the scepter! Receive it! Receive the scepter! Michael, please bring them up. Receive the scepter, the golden scepter for global leadership. Makadoa. The scepter of loyalty, of royalty, of righteousness. Receive it now.

Yes.

Thank you, Jesus. And now I pronounce over you is a new level of authority.

Authority!

Oh God, the power that backs the throne of God is backing you from tonight. Shambalaka de.

Authority! Authority!

In the name of Jesus Christ, nations will respond to you. Your strength will not fail. Your eyes will not grow dim. 2 Samuel 3:1, there was a long battle between the house of Saul and the house of David. The house of Saul was working with— was getting weaker and weaker. The house of David, stronger and stronger. Light Nation, I pronounce over you prophetically, stronger and stronger, stronger and stronger, stronger and stronger. The wisdom for apostolic and prophetic leadership for the next phase of this ministry in God's divine calendar and agenda. Receive it now! Receive it now in the name of Jesus! I pray for you finally. The mantle is on you now. Mantles from heaven! Mantles! Mantle! Mantle! Receive the mantle! Receive the mantle! Receive the mantle! Mantle. Receive the mantle. Please, you can rise. Lift your hands, everyone. Light Nation, the Lord said to me, he said the mantles are falling. Receive yours now.

Receive yours now.

Ah, hey, hear this. Now hear this. There was a time they were arguing, and they brought the argument to Moses. And God said, today we settle the argument. Tell all the families of Israel to bring their rod to the tabernacle of the congregation. The man that I chose, that I called, that I anointed, he said, the rod will blossom and bud forth. The rod, a symbol of authority. Authority of excessive grace. Now I decree, as it happened in that order, God is giving you impact beyond argument, results beyond argument. 1 Samuel chapter 3 And then verse 21, all Israel, they knew that Samuel had been established as a prophet. All nations from henceforth, they know that light nation is a lineage of kings. Kings are emerging right now. Kings are emerging right now. I speak make finally in every sphere of life. When they count the 3 toppest, top people, best people, they shall be found in Life Nation. Wisdom is given to you. Dominion is given to you. Might is given to you. Spirit of Excellence given to you. Let the anointing upon the Apostle, let the anointing on Pastor Femi Lazarus, be replicated in millionfold right now in the name of Jesus. You are the Judah generation. As your praises go up, you will, you will take territories, you will take cities, you will take nations in the name of Jesus. It is so. From henceforth, you enjoy the sure mercies of this David. Show mercies of David. Show mercies of David. Show mercies of David in the name of Jesus. That is your testimony.

Is that the way we rejoice tonight?

Come on, Light Nation, rejoice!

Amen. How many of you saw a deep correlation between yesterday night and tonight? You saw it? Blessed are your eyes for they can see. Let's give Jesus a bigger shout of praise. Prepare for leadership and all that comes with it. Prepare. The stakes are higher down. It's already too late to turn back. Amen. Hallelujah. The beautiful thing is, by tomorrow morning, 8:00 AM, we still have the singular honor and privilege of having Bishop with us again. So hold on, there is no evening session tomorrow so that we can be well rested ahead of Sunday service. Is that okay? And then particularly for those of us who are traveling back to our various regions, so by 8 AM on the dot we start tomorrow. How many of us are fired up for tomorrow morning? And I'd like to also request that the International School of Ministry graduates should— graduates, sorry, don't be in a hurry to go. We need to take group pictures with you. Is that okay? And I— many of you, some of you traveled from far and near. Vanessa Wellington came all the way from the United Kingdom.

So good to see you.

I also have Someone who came from Cameroon. Oh, amazing! All the way from Cameroon. Is that Asamoah? All the way from Ghana, am I correct?

Huh?

Okay, all the way from Lagos. Okay, you're welcome.

But, but you are not a Nigerian.

You're Nigerian?

Interesting. You know, one of the things— and thank God for these words of prophecy— And the Lord has been doing with us is that he's been bringing nationals of different nations to us, and we are so excited about that. Praise God. Um, I just sense to do this by myself before we leave. Can we dip our hands to our pocket and give an offering? And do it with a sense of recognition tonight. I'm— all right, let every man give according to what is proposed in his heart, not grudgingly but willingly. So I just want us to just give a seed of honor as people who have been blessed. Words have been released tonight. Praise God. Thank you, Lord Jesus.

Femi Lazarus.

So I decree and declare that your seeds are blessed. When next you have the opportunity to give, you will have more than enough, in Jesus' mighty name. Um, I have a very funny announcement, and this might rattle our plans. I just sense that on Sunday we still go royal again. See, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen. And we are going to dance the way David danced. Are you ready?

Are you ready?

Are you ready?

Let's give Jesus a big hand. Final assignment before I leave, I'd like to request for the copy of my books, the new released books, so I can— we can decree over that book. I'd like to trouble Bishop one more time, just for a moment, sir. Just— all right, can we have a copy each of the books? Um, okay, just a moment. And we have the magazine for the International School of Ministry. Um, I believe this is going to be shared to all the graduates. All right, so, um, if you want to know more about the International School of Ministry and you do— you didn't— you do not get tonight, then you can pre-order.

Okay.

Um, you can see Pastor Joke, please come forward. Help me celebrate this amazing woman of God. She controls communications with over 200 countries. Amazing powerhouse. Thank you. God bless you. Please, so you can see her, um, very rich content. So we have new books, more are still coming this year, just so you know. How to Deal with Church Arts, powerful book. We've had requests for this from across the world already. Our Last Fight, and this is the sequel to Seeing Beyond Smokescreen. And then we have Unveil, as your eyes of understanding being flooded with light. Come on. Yeah, they're supposed to be Gilead. You know, I'm very passionate about God healing his children from trauma. So this is healing from inside out, Gilead. And then we have hot seat with my mentees. So there are funny subjects that you don't hear me talk about publicly. I just want to call out a few things. Are you ready? Help me bring this out. So there are things that are kingdom wisdom, but you know, sometimes we like to be more Catholic than the Pope, so we don't learn the vital things we should learn. Are there people here in my mentorship academy? Shout a big amen. We are not done with the session and the they are asking when is the next one starting. So I wrote here about personal branding, building impact-driven interpersonal relationships for your life and ministry. We study God's unconventional communication approach, earning global respect through productivity, how to live a life of honor as an advantage, how to manifest your potentials without fear. Dealing with procrastination and of course common questions my mentees ask and answers to them. So it's a very powerful book. Don't worry, you'll be seeing books and shapes from us that are not too common, so just get used to that. Is that okay? Tomorrow can release a round book and a spherical one. It's okay, somebody needs to blaze the trail in certain things. Is that okay? All right, I'd like to please invite Bishop again to release words over this book as they travel around the world. Thank you, sir.

Hallelujah!

Let's celebrate the Apostle for this great massive labor of love. Can we stretch out our hands towards these materials and pray in the spirit for 1 minute? Thank you, Jesus. Father, cause the unction upon these books to transform lives. To transform nations. We open the doors of nations unto these books in the name of Jesus Christ. Cause the unction on the spoken word to be on the written word in the name of Jesus Christ. We send, we send these books forth as change agents in the body of Christ, instruments of transformation Instrument of elevation in the name of Jesus Christ. For everyone who comes in contact with these materials, their lives shall be changed forever. We dedicate these materials to your glory, for the edification of the body of Christ and for the blessing of humanity. And we pray for the Apostle that his fountain is blessed forever. Thank you, Father. Blessed be the In the name of the Lord, in Jesus' precious name we pray.

Amen.

Thank you, sir. Can we give Jesus a big hand? I don't know if Apostle will still be with us one more time. I'd like another service for her to bring a word of greetings to us. So it means I'm saying you, you will still show up one more time. Let's give her a big hand, please. Please join me as we receive Pastor Wale. And this is the one coordinating our mission work in America, so he came all the way from Mississippi, Starkville, to come be a part of this meeting. So celebrate him, please. God bless you.

Come on, if you're excited, you're excited tonight, I'd like you to jam those hands together for the Lord.

Do it with a shout, do it with light, nation, shout!

Glory to God, hallelujah! All right, we've come to the end of tonight's service. As Bishop and Apostle and all the ministers are taking their leave, in one word, can we chorus? Apostle, we love you.

And there is nothing you can do about it, sir.

Pastor Mimi will love you, and there is nothing you can do about it.

Bishop and Mama will love you, and there is nothing you can do about it.

Let's celebrate them as they make their way out. Glory to God!

Have we been blessed tonight?

Let's listen to other announcements. Uh, Papa has taken most of the announcements. Again, there will be no— please have your seat in God's presence.

There will be no evening session tomorrow. We only have one session, and that is 8 AM in the morning.

All the books that were just dedicated now, they are available for purchase right now outside. Media, you can still display them for people to to see. Grab your copy as much as you can and buy for other people who couldn't make it down to Festival of Life. Glory to God! And of course, the ISM graduates, don't forget, immediately after our affirmation, just file to this place and wait for the principal and the faculty as we take a group picture with you.

And the team leads in all the centers should wait to see Dr.

Are you sure you are really excited? Glory to God! Let it be displayed. Let's rise to our feet. All right, all right, um, just a moment, please bear with us just a moment. We'd like to invite the IS Femi Lazarus, people that want to present something to, um, the rehabilitation center, please just come to the front and make your presentation now. Just a moment after now, we'll be done. Glory to God. We are waiting for you.

Thank you very much. Thank you, sir. Um, so we, the students of International School of Ministry 2025, support the vision of our father and principal, and we, we are honored to present a cash donation of ₦500,000 to the Free at Last Rehabilitation Foundation. Thank you for the privilege, sir. Thank you so much.

All right, um, is the director of the rehabilitation center around so that you can receive the gift? And if it's not around, if Pastor Joseph is around or Pastor Joke, any of them? Okay, that means you have to present that probably in the office. Yeah, let's celebrate them as they make their way out. So you represent it at the office.

Thank you.

All right, before we take the affirmation, can we just rise to our feet and share the grace in unison after the count of 2? 1, 2. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us now and forevermore. Amen. Surely goodness and mercies are following us all the days of our lives, for we are the house of the Lord forever and ever.

Amen.

All right, we want to take our affirmation now.

Are you ready?

Are you really ready?

Glory to God! We are Light Nation, an atmosphere of God's influence.

Strong feet.

An excellent spirit. We are the epicenter of God's grace upon the earth. We have a lifestyle that is consistent with the authority of the scriptures. We believe what the Lord said to us, that we are a city in every city.

This is the house of pruning, forging, and making of giants, and the The power of the king is among us!

What do we do?

Congratulate somebody beside you. Welcome back, kings and queens, to Festival of Life Day 2 happening here in Abuja.

My name is Israel Ozana, and of course I have with me the beautiful Adek Bassey. Today has been nothing short of amazing. It's been wonderful, it's been beautiful. It's been majestic. Yesterday was royalty, today it's been all about honor, and today we honored a lot of people. Yeah, from our international school students, Lashio Academy.

I mean, it was just so a lot for me even watching and being part of everything. Would like to hear from you directly, how was today's service for you? I feel like we got a lot of overdose at the same time, like every scene was looking different.

I think this is for me, for you, my question. How was the Leadership Academy?

Because I know you were one of the students of that.

How was the experience like for you though, generally?

I mean, at first when I saw myself in a group, I was wondering, how did I get here? And I heard this is from a nomination. That means you've been observed, and this is only strictly if you're being nominated to be here. And when Apostle came up today during the Leadership Academy graduation, he made the same statement that this is not what you apply to be trained, this is what you've been observed and picked. I was like, okay, because the learning was, was a school of leadership, man.

I mean, I can't really imagine what the teaching was, right? But I can, I can only say from a place of insight, I mean, he brought—

there were a lot of vessels, the pastors, they gave us trainings from all angles, from even how to relate with people.

I mean, I just supposed to give the best, obviously.

I feel like I'm not a better leader.

No, but you, you have the experience, and from here you can only grow and go onward. Now it doesn't just stop there. Today has been an amazing day, like I said earlier.

Then the word—

I think one thing that crowns Lights Nation so much is we end everything with a good word.

Yeah.

And today I got to realize why Bishop Bimbo is actually a post And he's our grandfather.

I mean, before we go to the blessing part, let's go back to ISM. The testimonies from the students themselves, it showed, it showed like this was a super grooming because the statement was made that if you, and if you are, you have the calling upon your life and you're not taught or trained, you're not prepared, you will not deliver even the call well. I was like, amazing. So even if you say God called you You need a training, and a training from such a school with those testimonials.

Can't wait to see what these students offer, like, because a lot of them were fiery. I have a couple of friends, right, for free, that he is spitting, ah, understand, in the Gen Z world, he is spitting the word. And it is beautiful to see people, young people, go through this training to train themselves to be, you know, vessels for God to use.

Okay, now let me say this, Israel, you know that in the whole mix of Christianity. There are a lot of people that are trying to teach the word in a certain kind of way that it looks like these people are not trained. Yes, but I said the ones that graduated in ISM, I feel like when they go out now even to win souls, everything is holistic. Oh my God, every super thing. And if you, if you have God call upon your life, say God called you, you are, you're called, you need to enroll, you need to enroll for the next batch because it's not about the call alone like they said, it's about the training, the grooming, the preparation for your excellent delivery.

I mean, like, one thing I want to say about this is this: it is a university on its own. The training is like— the way it is institutionalized, you'll be surprised.

There is, there is a setting. Oh my God, it's not just done because it's a church thing, it is done because it is educational.

And it's a beautiful thing to experience, it's a beautiful thing to see, and it's a beautiful thing to let the world have in general. So, but we don't want to dwell here alone because the word was powerful. We want to know, how was service for you today? What was your experience like? What are your still— what are still your expectations for the remaining days of, um, Festival of Life 2025?

And I would say, what was that word for you? Because a lot of word came, a lot of prophecy came, you know, a lot of clarification came on mercy. Like when you heard the grand— our grandfather Like, it was just— I felt like, oh, this is the sauce.

Aha, this is the sauce.

Now we know the sauce. And you know one thing, I think in a short time, it was a 1-hour time, I wrote 2 pages. My goodness, I wrote 2 pages of my book booklet, and it was so majestic.

Like, the words, um, they were backing, scriptural backings.

Psalm this, 2 Samuel this. It was words for words for words for I mean, it's really, really amazing, and God is faithful and beautiful in this house. And we can't wait for the next dimension of blessing. God is taking Light Nation into all—

he said there is a part 2 in the morning. I mean, so don't miss to join us live tomorrow morning because what you heard this evening is just, it's just a tip of the iceberg. Because I will be loaded tomorrow. Tomorrow is the last— tomorrow is the semi-last day. So there will be like a pouring of a lot happening tomorrow. So I said, from you, Wisdom, Obioha, Jude, what was your word that you got today? What was your word? What was your word? Okay, quickly, let me just say one or two. I heard that our emblem is authority. Yes, that word was so striking for me. And what God— mercy is like putting a statue of mercy on you that, that comes with his plan on your life. And then the prophecies— wisdom.

What was it?

Did you get—

what was it?

Did you get like— you're holding on to—

I'm holding on to everything, man.

Like today, I thought—

I thought yesterday I said something.

I said I came to Festival of Life to get double portion of the blessings.

I wasn't here for as far as our eyes can see, but I'm here for this particular one, for the sure mercies of David. And I'm here to grab all the mercies, all of it, all of it. So we don't want to keep you up forever, so we would say join us tomorrow morning. For the morning session tomorrow because it's going to be an amazing time in God's presence.

Don't miss any single moment.

Yeah, before we leave, before we leave Israel, I want to say this from the grandfather's words: without the mercy of God in your life, your life become messy. It's not about your talent, it's not about your skill. Without God's mercy, your life is messy.

Say God forbid.

That's the word for somebody, guys. So thank you so much, guys. See you same time, no, in the morning, same station, Ambience TV. Always TV Redefined on Instagram. Just keep catching up and following up, and don't forget to share this with your loved one.
