I want us to understand that God has always been— God was always there from the beginning. It's not as if something made him God. It's not like something— so someone put him in his place. Nobody gave authority to God. He's always— in the beginning it says, in the beginning God. That's the first thing, that's the first word of creation. In the beginning God. God created the heavens and the— and as if that was not enough, after we ruined his glorious plan, after we set our own free will to introduce sin into this world, he took it upon himself to die for you, to die for me. After becoming like man, after walking on this earth, experiencing all of our pain and shame, sickness, he then fought the fight and won completely. And the Bible says that because Jesus Christ humbled himself, because he did not take it as robbery to to give the glory to himself and come down, that he has been highly lifted up, and that the name of Jesus, every knee should bow in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. So he could have stayed in heaven, he could have chosen to leave us in our fallen state, but he took it upon himself himself. So he's only God because of creation, but he's also God and Lord over all because of his sacrifice. So when we say all honor and glory and power belongs to him, it's not simply because he did not do anything and he's been there. No, he died for you, he died for me. He took the key of death, the key of sickness, every single thing, anything that could have been a legal grounds for the devil to still operate in your life, he took it upon himself to it. He took it upon himself to, to release us from that bondage. So I want you to join us again with this new understanding that when we say all honor and glory and power belongs to you, we are looking and putting our focus on Jesus Christ, the one who died for us, the one through all— through which all things were created, the Father of Lights through which all creation has its name. So I wanted to join us one more time and continue in this worship and adoration.
Glory, all power belongs to you, Jesus. Come and sing glory, glory, all power belongs to you, Jesus. Come and sing glory, glory, all power belongs to you, Jesus. All glory, all glory, all power belongs to you, Jesus.
All honor and all glory, all glory, all power, all power belongs to you, Jesus. Siriyo.
Holy Father, we worship you.
Precious Jesus, our Savior.
Holy Spirit, We wait on you, Holy Spirit.
We wait on you, Holy Spirit. We wait on you for fire.
For fire.
For fire.
I don't know how the fire of God looks like in your life. I don't know what the expectation is in your life.
But when fire consumes a thing, fire transforms things.
The fire of God is not dangerous.
The fire of God brings clarity. The fire of God brings conviction. Show the Lord your fire, the fire of God. Fire!
We wait for fire.
I have this— I always have a need for us to understand the things we ask God for. It's not, it's not just words, just open fire, and we don't really know what we're asking for. Every instance of fire in the Bible, whenever associated with God, he always did something that brought clarity. Take for instance when Elijah was faced with the prophets of Baal. And he was given this opportunity to, to bring the power of God, to remind the Israelites who their God is. And he gave them a challenge: create an altar, set your sacrifice, put water, put anything you want, and I want you to pray to your God for fire. In that moment, do you understand understand that if fire fell when the false prophets— fire fell when the false prophets were praying, it would have shaken the faith of Israelites. But when Elijah prayed and fire came down, without a doubt it brought clarity, it brought restoration, it brought revival. Everyone that had a doubt, anyone here that is still doubting that God can still move, that is still doubting that God can still heal, that God can still save you, that God can still deliver you. I promise you, if the fire of God is allowed to move, the clarity that is going to come is one beyond your imagination.
So I want you to join us in this chorus as we ask for the fire of God to move in this place. We cry, we cry for fire of God. For fire of God. to blow fire and wind. Let this place be consumed, oh Lord, for fire. I want us to be anticipating.
As we anticipate the fire and the wind of God, we want the power of God to move in this place.
Ruach Elohim, fill this place. Ruach Elohim, the Spirit, the breath, the wind of God, the fire of God in everyone.
We ask for the wind of the Almighty God, fire and wind, to come. Every instance of your presence, God, is backed with power. Every instance of Spirit of God moving is backed with power. It's not just a thing of old. It's not just a thing of old. Fire and wind in this space, that is our cry. Lord, we welcome you. Lord, we welcome you. Welcome you. I want everyone to be anticipating, be expecting for the Almighty God to move in your life. Even if you have a sliver of hope, even if you have an expectation that is as small as a mustard seed. Faith is small enough, but as long as you have the faith in the right person, that's all that matters.
I want us to anticipate the move of God.
Fire and wind move.
I feel wind. Ruach Elohim fill this place. Spirit of the Lord, Spirit of the Lord.
Oh.
Be expectant for the fire.
Be expectant for his power.
Hallelujah.
Fresh wind, fresh fire flowing on my inside. Fresh wind, fresh fire blowing on my inside.
Fresh wind—
uh!
Flowing on my inside. Fresh wind, fresh fire flowing my insides.
Hey!
Fresh fire blowing on my inside! A fresh wind—fresh fire-blowing on my side! —A fresh wind—fresh fire-blowing on myself! A fresh wind—fresh fire-blowing over me! Oh sing it, "Fresh Wind!" Fresh Fire Blowin' Over Me from My Inside! Fresh fire! Blow it low inside on my insides. Fresh wind this week. Fresh fire blow it low inside of me. On my insides fresh wind this week. Fresh fire flow through my insides all night long this week. Fresh winds fresh rise within me. Blowing on my insides fresh wind this week. Fresh fire blowing— Let the power of God be allowed to move inside of you. You might not know it but But he's there even if my eyes can't see you. I know God is able to pour on my inside.
As we started, we said, in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, and the Spirit of God was brooding over the waters. And then God said— in the Bible, the Hebrew word for the Spirit of God in that text was ruach. So ruach Elohim, breath, wind of God. And we've also seen that when God moves, he can move as wind, he can move as fire. But some of us don't understand that he is able to be, to live inside of you. The Spirit of God can live inside of you if you are a believer. He lives inside of you. And if you don't believe He can. The Bible also says that there is a spirit in man, the breath of the Almighty gives understanding. This is the power of God that we're asking for. It's not even a request actually. It is more of an acknowledgement of what we carry. It's an acknowledgement of who we are. That we have access to unlimited resources. Is there hope that we're looking for? It's inside the spirit of God.
Is there peace we're looking for?
It's inside the Spirit of God. In the name of Jesus it is made possible! Jesus did not leave us orphans; He just did not leave us defenseless—He left us His spirit so that while he is in heaven preparing a place for us we have hope—we still have hope here on this earth. So I want you to sing this with understanding—I want you to sing this knowing that you have the power of God inside of you—and if you don't, I want you to be expectant.
Oh oh ooh... Come on, join us as we sing. We say fresh wind, fresh fire blowing on my inside. Fresh wind, fresh fire blowing on my inside. Fresh wind, fresh fire blowing on my inside. On my inside.
So we've understood that Ruach Elohim is the Spirit of God, the breath, the wind of God inside of us. So I want us to join us and I Acknowledge him. Allow the Holy Spirit to flow in you. Allow the power of God to flow.
Yes, I want you to join in as we You sing it.
In a moment, I'm going to give you all the chance to sing it with us, but learn it for now. Without the back— the church can keep playing. I want you all to sing it. Sing. Yes, we're allowing the Spirit of God to flow.
Sing! Oh, oh, Ruach Elohim! Ruach Elohim!
Let's join them, sing!
Ruach Elohim! Oh, oh, Ruach Elohim! Ruach Elohim! Ruach Elohim flow!
Let the power of God flow in Oh!
Oh down the fresh wind singing Fresh Wind— Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire going on my ears. Fresh fire flowing on my inside! Fresh wind blowing all over me!
Come on, join us one more time— sing fresh wind!
Fresh wind! Fresh fire flowing all over myself!
Come on, come on!
Fire flowing on my inside. Fresh wind, fresh wind, fresh fire flowing on my inside. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.

You know, the Bible recorded that Moses was a shepherd boy, and then the first encounter that he had of God was through the burning bush. Not only did he have this encounter, he had the power. The Lord helped him. And the children of Israel that have been in slavery for 430 years, the Lord used Moses to free them. Moses doubted when the Lord gave him this revelation, but what did the Lord say? It says, I will be with you. Masha'Allah. If you're here tonight, everyone have a purpose and you're struggling with it, I need you to sing this song from the depth of your heart, that the fire of God would help you to find your purpose. The fire of the Lord will help you, that thing that he has given it to you, that you would use it. I want you to sing with me without the backups. Are we ready?

Thank you, Jesus. Thank you.
Amen. I want to really appreciate everyone that came with me. God's Delight is here, Bro Yinka is here, Kayo is here.
Thank you.
Let's sit down. I requested for a— is it available? Okay, can they bring it? And the reason is because I want to patiently I don't know how many— how many minutes do I have? Because I want to— I want us to go far. Is that okay? I think we have morning session tomorrow now, huh? It's private. I've announced though. I'm sorry, the Holy Spirit was telling. Okay, so, but I've announced. You know, sometimes the way God does these things is very, very strange. I'm going to be back here, and let me tell you, the event— what is going to take place amongst us tonight is even going to be a major pointer. Praise God. Still on keys, don't worry, you can flow. Lift your voice, lift your hands to God where you're sitting. I want to teach you a song. Um, the song says, we will stand in the golden city of the New Jerusalem. All our fields and all our tears will be no more. Um, it's a song of hope of what is to come. Lift your hands where you are and just tell Jesus, reveal yourself to me tonight in a way only you can. Invade my heart, invade every aspect of my life. Just invade. Just cry to him. Just cry to him. Let your heart Yan for his presence. We will stand in the golden city of the New Jerusalem. All our fears and all our tears will be no more. We will stand with the host of heaven and cry, holy is the Lamb, holy, holy, holy is the Lamb.
Simple.
We will stand in the golden city of the New Jerusalem. All our fears and all our tears will be no more. We will stand with the host of heaven and cry, "Holy is the Lamb." Holy, holy, holy. Two more times. We will stand in the golden city in the New Jerusalem. Blood, fear, and all our tears will be no more. We will stand with the host of heaven in her holy land.
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord. One more time.
We will stand in the golden city, in the New Jerusalem. The fields and all our tears will be no more. We will stand with the host of heaven and praise the Lamb. Holy, holy, holy is the We bless your holy name, Jesus. We accord all praise to you, all honor and all glory. We yield our hearts to you that it will be on fire tonight and it will burn forever and ever, in Jesus' mighty name. Amen. And the church will say amen. Thank you. You may please be seated. Thank you. Um, let's turn our Bibles quickly. Um, okay, you may not have to stress yourself. Acts of the Apostles, chapter number 2.
Thank you.
Let's turn our Bibles, please. Sorry about the distraction. It's because when you have traveled the length I have traveled, you have to sometimes— so that the man of God will fall, they say, is anointing. You know, I Femi Lazarus laid hands on somebody one time in a meeting for the person to be baptized in the Holy Ghost, and he began to speak in unknown tongues. So I felt a leading to ask him, what kind of tongue is this? So he said, he's speaking in his mother's native tongue. So I said, excuse me, where are you from? He said, 'Calabar.' You don't know where that is. That sounded like tongues. Amen. The theme of this meeting is what? Fresh Fire. One of the first questions you want to ask is, does fire get fresh? Ah, do we actually have fresh fire? Okay, you're thinking about that. Is it a reality? No, like I'm talking about fresh bread now, we understand that. Yes, there's actually fresh fire. I'm going to show you from the Bible. Turn your Bibles quickly, the book of Acts of the Apostles. We're going to start the reading from chapter number 2, and we're going to start from verse 1. Because of the outbreak of the spirit that is going to happen here tonight, I'm going to need to first take time to— you— but my big fear is that Even while praying towards this meeting, it looks like God can't wait. So there's something that is going to happen tonight that's going to be beyond all of us. The impact will bet many new ministries. Because the glory of God is here already. You must know how to taste it in the air. Is that okay? Acts of the Apostles, chapter number 2. I start reading from verse 1. And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from from heaven as a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and he sat upon each of them, and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost. And began to speak with other tongues as the Spirit gave them what? Utterance. That's a very profound scripture. Um, it's a day we all should be celebrating. The word fire usually is used to illustrate a dimension of the Holy Spirit or of the anointing of the Holy Spirit. That's the word fire. It's not literal. It's not literal in the sense that it is not like your natural human and fire. So when you talk about the fire, or sometimes we use the word fire of the Holy Ghost, it's used to describe the anointing. And why do we— there are different words used to illustrate the anointing. The wind. Oh yes, and we saw that also in Acts 2. First there was a rushing mighty wind that filled that place. This city is also always referred to as the city of prophets. Am I correct? Oh, you don't know? Do you know? Are you sure? Oh boy, I, I was hoping I was going to be able to really go deep here. Am I in the right place? I, I don't I don't care who is watching online. I can tell our people to shut down the live stream so it can be us alone. Oh yes, but I'll tell them to leave it, but some of them, they will start saying, 'Apostle, don't try it.' So there are different words that illustrate the anointing of the Holy Ghost, different reality. One of It is the oil. Some of us are familiar with that, but there's also the fire, but there's also the wind. Let me show you a scripture. Isaiah chapter number 10, verse 27. Isaiah 10, verse 27 says that it shall come to pass in that day that this burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder. From off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of what? The anointing. So the anointing is that which breaks yoke. You see, other translation says that the yoke shall be destroyed because of rimmon, or see the word fatness, or you see the word dohoel. One of the scriptures, one of the translations I love that describes that is God's Word Translation. It will amaze you. If the media, if they have God's Word Translation, um, you can put it there. But I'm going to read from here. It says, at that time their burden will be taken away from your shoulders, their yoke will be removed from your neck. The yoke will be be turned away because you have grown fat. So that means you— that's what the word anointing also means. Let me come down. Yes, I like to— I don't like to be far from people. Yes, maybe because I didn't want to be a pastor when I started out my life, but now I am. And many of you too will be. It's too late for you not to be, and I'll clap when you become. Amen. Yes, my chair, you can bring it too. So he says that— let me give you an instance. Come, look at this. Never forget this about the anointing. Can you give us that scripture again? Isaiah Isaiah 10:27. Isaiah 10:27. Look at that scripture again. Project it. It shall come to pass in that day that his burden shall be taken away from off your neck or your shoulder, and his yoke from off your neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of what? The anointing. Look at it in God's word. The translation I showed you because you may not understand that. And that's why it's good to study, don't just read God's word. Can you give us that translation that speaks about fatness? Oh yes, so they will project that now. Look at this, he said, so it will be in that day that the burden of the Assyrian will be removed from off from your shoulders and his yoke from your neck. The yoke will be broken because of what? The fat. If they have Young Literal Translation, YLT, that's even quite more specific. It says that the yoke will be broken because you have grown so fat. That's the word they use there. So it means that every yoke is relative to the anointing that confronts it. Let me explain. You see where farmers are yoking oxen? I would have told them to show you pictures of what it looks like. So the yoke is like a framework of wood and some things they put around their neck and then attach some things for them to plow the land. That's the way the enemy places burdens on people. Buddings of sickness, buddings of things that are not theirs, and they have to plow all their lives with it. The Bible is saying that the purpose of the anointing is that it makes your neck so big that the enemy bringing the same yoke can't fit into that neck because you have become so big. So it means that you don't even just have to even pray sometimes that the yoke should be broken. Just increase. As you increase in size in the spirit, as you increase in your weight in the spirit, as you increase in influence in the spirit, as you increase in the anointing in the spirit, the same yoke that used to fit in will no longer fit in. Why? Because you have grown so fat. Because the word there is the word 'rimon.' That's the, that's the Hebrew word there, 'rimon.' Let's talk about fat. It's usually an oil for consecration. So on the day of Pentecost, they were all together in what? One accord. What were they asking for? They were asking asking for the power of the Holy Ghost. Jesus said to them, he said, don't go out to preach, don't go out to do anything, wait till you have been what? Endued with what? Power. Some Christians think that it is not signs of spirituality to be asking God for power, but I've come to tell you Asking God for power is spirituality. Say, Lord, I need your power. Now you are not saying like one who needs the power. Say it again. Lord, I need your anointing. Say it again. Lord, I need your anointing. I need your fresh anointing. Oh yes. So if you, if you have oil The oil needs to stay fresh to perform its purpose. Yesterday's anointing is not enough. That's the reason why you need it fresh every day. You need fresh every day. Look at the scripture. Oh yes, Leviticus chapter number 6. Leviticus 6. Leviticus 6. If you're there, say amen. Now let's go to— let's start the reading from chapter number 9, and then the media will display that. We're going to read Leviticus 6:9 down to, um, 12. Command Aaron Aaron and his sons, saying, this is the law of the burnt offering. It is the burnt offering because of the offering upon the altar all night unto the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be burning in it. The priest shall put on, on his linen garment, and his linen breeches shall he put upon his flesh, and take up the ashes which the fire had consumed with burnt offering upon the altar, and he shall put them beside the altar. And he shall put off his garment and put on other garments and carry forth the ashes without the camp unto a clean place. And the fire on the altar shall be burning in it, it shall not be put out. And the priest shall burn wood on it every morning and lay burnt offering in order upon it, and it shall burn thereon fat of peace offerings. Look at verse 13. Let's read verse 13 together. 1, 2, 3, go. The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar, it shall never go out. I love this scripture. Sometimes we don't know what it means. He said one of the duties of the priest is is that they must pack away ashes from the fire and then take it outside the camp and then add wood. Let me tell you this: the anointing is not a sign that you know God. It is a sign that there was a time you put him— let me say it again— the anointing is not a sign that you know God. It is a sign that at some point in your life you met him. Now that's, that's the problem, and it's a very big problem. And that's the reason why the church must mature till we get to a point where we can differentiate between those who are anointed and those who belong to the presence. Because you can be anointed but not a man of the presence. The anointing is like a gift, it is without repentance. If you can sing and there's there's so much atmospheric changes and all that. And happens sometimes even after a person has fornicated. Yes, the gift will not go, but there is something you can't— you cannot fake the presence. So he said that for the fire to be burning, the priest must pack away ashes. You, if you had wood to fire. Maybe many of you may not understand what that means. You've never cooked with wood before. I have cooked with wood. Is there anyone who has cooked with wood before? Maybe you have gone to camp, campfire. I didn't go to any camp to cook with wood. I was hungry. Are you following what I'm saying? But one time I was in Ghana and I needed to cook with firewood. Oh yes, the ashes. Are signs that the wood has been burnt there. You know what the ashes are in your life? Testimonies. What God did with you yesterday, pack them out of the camp so you can be hungry for something new. Because you see, there's a way you burn wood in the fire and the ashes will kill the fire. But there are signs that the wood burnt yesterday. They can kill the fire today. Oh, when you ministered yesterday, God did amazing things with you. Fantastic. Take it out. The other time as you shook my hands, I felt the fire of the Holy Ghost all over me. Amazing. Get out. Yesterday's fire is not enough for today. You need freshness. You You need freshness. You need freshness. Are you following what I'm saying here? You need what? Freshness to learn to dwell in his presence daily. It's very easy to be carried away, very easy, very easy to mark your own script and assume that you have gotten there. Let me tell you something, one of the most dangerous interesting about fire is that whether the fire is intact or dying, it still burns. Can I say it again? Whether the fire is intact or dying, it still burns. So there is an assumption that because it still burns, it is the way it should be. Ah, don't fall for that deception. And it's very easy if you've been belong to systems, to, or to environment where you have set systems and structures that this meeting, if we're going to do this and do that, then this one come after this one, then this person comes and take the mic and all that. But how about the place where the fire of God comes down and other program will be suspended because God is in the house? God is a God of law and order. Whenever he shows up, he comes with his own structure house. We're about to experience services where he will come into our midst and hijack the service. I didn't hear amen to that. Where we're going to stay on one song and the message of the pastor will not be necessary because the Lord is in the house. Oh yes, oh yes. I've been crying to God Because it's difficult to minister to a generation who has not encountered the texture of the move of God. Social media is full of noise, it's full of distraction. Many of us don't understand the quietness of the spirit anymore. Those things have been taken away. Our mindsets about the move of God, the weight of God's glory, is power. Has been damaged, that if somebody is talking about the power of God, you might almost feel the fellow is one psychic. I just feel, oh, this, this is not right, because we didn't know the God Femi Lazarus met. I've read books about the move of God in this land, the quality of prophets that have risen from Kansas City. And one of the things I've come announce to you is that we must go back to the waters the fathers found and re-dig those wells again. We must go and dig the wells that the fathers found. If we find the waters will be satisfied. There are many things happening now that is questioning the authenticity of the move of God amongst us. They are not atheist, they are just asking about your God. The earnest expectation of creation eagerly waits for the manifestation of the sons of God. It says that wait for the sons of God to declare their sonship. What that means is that if God is your Father, you should have some DNA, some identity that looks like him. How can your Father be all-powerful and you are all powerless? I really hope to be able to bring you back. To the place of the waters. I didn't hear amen to that. Let me show you a text in the Bible, something you, you need to see. Turn your Bibles to Genesis, Book of Genesis chapter number 38. Um, yeah, Genesis 48, and I'm going to start the reading from, um, verse 1. It's one of the scriptures that blesses me so much, and I, I need you to listen. Is that okay? Be very attentive. Fall in love with the word of God. Is that okay? Yes. Any scripture— one of the ways to memorize scriptures, you see, the way I was trained, I was trained in the days that churches have Sunday school. Do you know what Sunday school is? Yeah, no church is permitted to scrap Sunday school if the church is not a school. So you must become a school of the word. So we were trained that we must know what is in every chapter in the entire Bible. That's the way we're trained. So even if you can't quote it, If they say open to Leviticus chapter number 2, you must have an idea. So we are trained not just to read but to eat the word. With the level of godlessness going on, we must go back to discipleship. So it means that— listen to what I'm saying— it is not everybody that you— that hears your message that you are pastoring. Oh yes, sometimes shut the noise. Shut the media out. Shut— close it. Oh yes, nobody is that special after all. If you died yesterday, they would have eaten today. Oh yes, shut down the noise so we can go back and weaponize all these children, all these children, weaponize them with the word of God. Oh yes, oh yes. A small boy, a small girl can go to a school and meet another girl, and in 5 minutes you may not be able to regain your child for another 5 years on the account of something they've done to manipulate the spirit. You are saying they are too young for fire, but the devil is looking at his own on his own side. He said they are not too young for demonic fire. Oh yes, about 17 years ago, 17 years ago should be, okay, no, 16 years ago, 2009, I went to pray for somebody and his stomach was so big, his liver was packing up. And as I went there to lay hands on him, God said, don't pray for him. He said, ask him who did he beat. So I told the guy who was groaning, he said, who did you beat? He said, I can't remember. And I saw a small girl there. I said, you beat this girl? He said, I cry. He said, that's his sister. So I called the girl, I said, what did you do to him? He said, he used to beat her, so she taught him a lesson.
Oh yes, oh yes.
So in the spirit realm Femi Lazarus, the girl was his mother. Many of us are fed away. We must go back to power. Are you with me? And that's what I've come to do, to reintroduce you to what? Power. I wanted to show you a scripture, Genesis chapter number 48. We'll start reading from verse 1. And it came to pass after these things that they told Joseph that his father was sick, and he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim. And okay, let me jump to when Jacob was speaking in Genesis 48:3. And Jacob said unto Joseph— listen to what Jacob said— Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto to me at Luz in the land of Canaan and bless me. Look at the next verse. And he said unto me, behold, I will make thee fruitful and multiply thee and make of thee a multitude of people, and I will give land to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession. Yes, quickly, the next verse. And now can Can you give me this in New King James so you can take away the die so you can understand better? Your two sons Ephraim and Manasseh. Um, please come, man of God. Look at it. Joseph came with his two boys Ephraim and Manasseh. Jacob was talking. To Joseph. He said, your two sons Ephraim and Manasseh, which were born unto you in the land of Egypt before I came unto you, land of Egypt. He said— Jacob said, those two sons, my own, they are mine, even as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine. Yes, look at verse 6 now. He said, and those others Can they be first? And your issue— yeah, this is more King James— thy issue which thou begettest after them shall be thine. That is, the one you give birth to after I joined you in Egypt, those ones are your own. That is— now look at this, he's saying, I admit Ephraim and I admit Manasseh and I I make them my own because I have an inheritance to give them. Joseph will not have the tribe of Joseph under Jacob. It will be the tribe of Ephraim and the tribe of Manasseh. He was making them nations with words. By what strength was a man speaking like that? You see, you may not understand the weight of this Scripture till you read Revelation chapter number 19 or 21, when you read that the foundations of the New Jerusalem are the names of the 12 tribes of Israel. So he was not just giving them an inheritance on earth, he was giving them an inheritance in heaven. By what spirit does a man speak and say this? What I'm telling you now is going to be how your life will go. He was saying, on the account of the fact that God Almighty appeared to me. If a man has been poor all his life and he sit in the congregation of the wealthy, something changed about his mindset. If you encounter God who made the heavens and the earth, there is a change. It is on the account of the appearance of God to him that has made him this heavy that he was speaking. If you read Genesis 49 from verse 1, when he— what he told his children was, gather yourselves, you sons of Jacob, that I will tell you what will happen to you at the end of your life. So you, you can hear Peter say in Acts chapter number 3 that sealed silver and gold I don't have, but such as I have, I give you. It is not pride to know what you have. The reason why many believers can say such as I have is because they don't have. If you fail to encounter this God the way you should, you will have nothing else to give your children than good education and money. You must encounter this God so you can introduce the next generation to the God that you have found. That's the secret of the fire, the encounter with him. That's the secret. Every man is as weighty as his altar.
Ash.
Every man, that's the weight of every man. Sit down for a moment, let me share a story with you. Okay, one of my brothers was sharing a story with me. He said his life, everything was going down, everything. Everything was going down and he dropped out of school and he said he was done. And out of depression, he went to a place in Nigeria called Redemption Camp. And he went there and he was just crying to God in the bush and he'll be crying every night and say his life, this disease is facing so much shame. And one of those days while he was in the bush, he saw an elderly man was walking towards him with a walking stick, and he was wondering, he said, who is this? And then all that. And as he watched closely, the man approached him where he was crying. He saw that it was Pastor E.A. Adeboye. He was praying, and the man would pray like that, well, sometime from 12 till 4 AM in the morning, and just walk around that place. And Then keep praying. And he held his leg and said, help me, my life is going down, everything is finished. And Baba laid hands on his shoulder and said, peace, let the storm cease. And he said, God bless you, and he left. There was no drama, no shaking, no some assorting, because where Where the fire is, a word is enough. And every storm that arose against him, where the storms rose, died a natural death. Carry power now because of the day you need to speak. People despise power till the day everyone is stranded and there is a need for somebody who has found God to speak to a matter. You must ask for it. It must be your obsession. He wants to reveal many things to you, and I'm going to show you the things that are damaging those things. He wants, he wants to reveal himself. God is not hiding. He wants you to encounter him. He wants to show you many things beyond your widest imaginations. He wants to show you visions. He wants to pour out the fire. I can tell you stories. He wants to pour out the fire, but sometimes we don't know the how. Jacob said, 'The Lord Almighty appeared to me.' That's his bragging right. That was the bragging right of Gabriel in Luke 1 when he was speaking and Zechariah was doubting. He said, 'I'm Gabriel. I stand in the presence of the Lord. I say these things to you. You won't be able to speak till there is a fulfillment of this prophecy.' He was speaking Where he was coming from, whenever a word is spoken is a decree. He was amazed that a man claimed to be in God's presence on earth. The same God is speaking and you are doubting. He said, so be mute till these words come to pass. When you learn to dwell in that place, it alters your spirit. Spiritual weight. What's your spiritual weight? It's the weight of the deposit of God's power upon your life. Power is a reality that if you have it, you'll be aware. If you don't have it, you also know. You can't have power and not know. You can't. The same way you can't have a gun and not know. You can't have power— no, no. If you are— let's say for instance, how many of you are ministers, whether in songs or something? Raise your hand, let me see you. Oh yes. If you're going to stand to minister to God's people, huh, you can't say, as I'm going, I don't know whether I'm anointed or not. And that's where the problem is. That's the reason why we don't get consistent result, because you have several keys. So So you don't even know which one is opening what door. So my question is, what key opens the door of power? Do you understand what I'm saying? We use several keys. This one, okay, we'll try this, okay, we'll try that one. What key? What should, what should a believer do to walk in power? Because sometimes you may make the mistake and think power is for Africa. I make bold to tell you that the devils that are here, Africa is still learning. Boy, oh boy, I was lamenting on the plane yesterday that the guy that was hosting us and all that was on lipstick. I didn't understand. I didn't understand. Somebody said sometimes you want to look at a woman well to be sure it's a woman. I said, Jesus Christ of Nazareth. He said to the church at Ephesus, he said, you have your seat, say you have your church where Satan's seat is. You are dealing in a land where witchcraft has very strong grip, and this one is not the witchcraft that needs costume. It is a witchcraft in systems. Oh, forget about those African black and red clothes and all those things. If you see all those things, you shout. This one, you would have embraced this before you know you are dining with the devil. Small thing, your male child comes back from school and he's saying, 'Tah.' You say, I rebuke you in Jesus' name. The boy looks at you again, say, no. But you see where the problem is. We have adjusted so much, we are used to it. We, my God, we are so used to it that if it happens, it happens, because we have not found God for ourselves, talk less of passing anything on. In Isaiah chapter number 60, look at what the Bible says. Isaiah chapter number 60, very interesting scriptures. I was preaching in a place called Doha in Qatar, and the government sent police and spies. Those are not even spies. They sent their agents, their intelligence agents, to come and attend the meeting, and they gave me rules. Nobody must fall under the anointing here. You cannot lay hands on anybody. You can't declare anything and say in Jesus' name. Oh yes, do you still understand the way of power in the midst of all those stringent rules? In Isaiah 64:1 says, look at it, it says, arise and do what? Shine, for your light is come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. Say, for behold, the darkness will cover the earth. I love the one they are showing there. It's a spiritual depression. So arise from spiritual depression, all right? Shine, be radiant with the glory and brilliance of the Lord, for your light is come and the glory and the brilliance of the Lord has risen upon on you. He said the darkness will cover the earth and then gross darkness the people.
It's getting darker. We must not be used to it.
It's a, it is, it's a shift on the church. It's something is pulling, and the devil is no longer comfortable being in the outer court. He wants to enter the Holy of Holies now. So it's a, it's a gradual push. The church is being, is being regulated to adjust and be used to stories and coldness. Now you can worship for one year in a service and not touch God and not even know what his presence feels like. Say not me. Say it again. Say not me. Listen, listen, listen. If there's a burden in your hearts that we want to have the fire of God on a consistent basis. Listen, it is because God is expecting you to start it. You don't just sit down at certain age, you don't sit down and complain again that the church I am is not on fire. You be on fire. Start the fire from where you are and people will gather. Are you following what I'm saying here? Start the fire. Oh yes, years back This should be maybe 12, 13 years ago or so. Oh yes, we're in a place, we're given a land. We wanted to have— wanted to have powerful meetings, so we left Nigeria. Oh yes, is that for me? I thought they said I should have 10 minutes.
Okay.
Oh yes. So we're given a place and they said is a— is a— we found out it's a forbidden land. Yeah, it's a land for ritualistic purposes. I remember as I came down from the car, um, when I go to that place, I felt in my spirit that the devil is here. There's something strong. So I lay my hands, I went to the ground and lay my hands and touch the ground and say, let the fire of God saturate this place. It was simple prayer. A woman came in to see one of the people that night, and as she entered that place, she began to scream, fire! Began to cry, fire! Began to cry, fire! And said They told her that the man of God was coming from Nigeria, and they told her to go and bury something in my room where I will be. And they told her I was coming from Nigeria before I got the invite. So she said they put something in my room. I said, not my room. Said, no, said they put something. I said, not my room. So they now went there, you know, the room where they put I tell you something, the first room where I was given, as I entered that room, I said I don't want. Then somebody said I like the room, that the room is fine. So when they now dock the room and brought out a pot, the guy was crying. You said the room was fine in the afternoon, now they are bringing out a big— you were sleeping on a pot. Without fire, many things can happen. The power of God so moved in that land that in one night we had over 2,000 people give their life to Christ. In one night, over 2,000 people respond to the altar call. In one night, it was a demonic environment, very demonic. People will come out at night and be having plain visions of strange spirits. Spirit were roaming everywhere. People will run inside and say, my God, yeah, yeah, in the middle of the night. So I said, I can't be here. So I get up every night, 12 AM, and plug my earphone and be listening to worship and come out and be worshiping God. No, nothing like, oh, demon, leave this place. No, no, no, no. Sometimes all you have to do is to fill the room with the glory of God. Fill it with worship. We get too concerned about demon. I expel you, get up. You will be on fire, run by themselves. Saturated that place for weeks with worship. Oh, I give you praise. Before you know it, the anointing of the Holy rested on that land, and he turned that land around in one day. And say, Lord, I receive your fire. Say louder, Lord, I receive your fire.
Say it again, Lord, I receive your fire. Anoint me with your fire. Femi Lazarus, fill me with your fire. I don't want to be ordinary. Release your power into my life. Release your breath upon my life. Fill me with the fire of the Holy Ghost.
Oh yes. Sit for a moment. He said darkness will cover the earth. And gross darkness the people. He said, but the glory of the Lord shall be seen upon thee. Oh yes, the darkness that is covering the earth, we should not be complaining about it. It's our opportunity to shine. The beauty of light can't be seen if there's no darkness. Darkness is what reveals the brilliance of light. Now you get to a place and you're complaining, this place is so old, um, when the choir sing, I don't really feel the presence of God. Hey, if you can know the problem, cry to God for the solution. There's a girl, there's a story of a girl I heard. She's gone to be with the Lord now. The amazing young lady, they've discovered that once they're having any crusade and you bring this girl into that crusade, that's when miracles begin to happen. She doesn't preach, she doesn't do anything. I know you. All they have to do is to bring her in. The moment they bring her in, there's so much depth of connection that she has with God. That glory fills everywhere, and that's where signs, miracles begin to happen. When you carry this thing, it's not about talking, it's not about shouting, it's about the presence that you carry. You become a walking dimension of the kingdom that when you step to a place, the kingdom of God is there on two legs. People can experience the reality of the king because you are there. And listen, it's what I'm telling you is not the meat. Many times is because we have lost touch of what we used to have and we have adjusted to the normal. One of the reasons why God is releasing his fire again is because the devil knows that his time is short and he's doing everything possible. He's rounding up, he's rounding up. So he's working with all his might, working systemically, engineering things, manipulating God's children, is, is, is destroying the posture of hearts, that people's hearts no longer have the texture and the hunger. So the problem sometimes, not that people are not even powerful, is that they don't even have the hunger for God. What do you do to a man who doesn't have the hunger anger for what will solve his problems. And the reason why people don't have hunger for God is because they've been filled with something else. Particularly in the Western world, there's an assumption that there's a system that works the way God works. But you lie. There is a need in every man, regardless of what country he find himself, that only God can fill. There is void that only the presence can what? Fill. If you like, build your house in the sky. There is a void. The fire of God is not for Africa alone. We need it everywhere. The devil is working fast, is working quick, is breaking into families. Is invading even the church. Look at what David said in Psalms chapter number 42. Let's start reading from verse 1. Psalms 42 from verse 1. Look at this. As it— as the deer pants lovingly for the water brooks, so pants my soul lovingly for you. Hunger for God is a sign of spiritual health. That you have a heart that yearns and cries, just more. I'm not asking for silver, I'm not asking for gold. I'm waiting on you because I want to know you more. I just want you to reveal yourself. That was the prayer of Moses in Exodus chapter number 32 and Exodus 33. He said, how will the people know that you are the God who sent me? He said, reveal yourself to me, and I want you to declare your name to me. And God said to Moses, he said, you have found favor in my sight. He said, I will reveal myself to you, and I will declare my name to you. And the Bible said the Lord took him and hid him in the cleft of the rock, and the Lord covered his face, and the Lord passed by. And the Lord declared the name of the Lord, and the Lord said, the Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering and abundant in goodness and truth. He was giving them law, but an encounter, God introduced himself to him as gracious. The man who gave them law find grace through an encounter. He He found many years ahead of his time. Encounters changes your experience. You have to get to a point where you are tired of a relationship with God. Just try, just try. Oh Lord, I thank you, um, this, this, this, that. I just want to thank you, um, as we go to work today, bless us, bless everybody, and let everything be well. Where is the point of reveal yourself to me? I want to know you. Just show me your glory. I have encounters I can never talk about because we have become so lost that even small things look like a lie. Imagine if Moses was in this generation. How will you tell them that the Lord covered your face and the Lord passed by and you hear the name of the Lord declared by the Lord? They say you lie. Moses will be on Twitter. You'll see trending Moses and they'll put there all this. You know, in Nigeria there's something called Nigeria Pastors. So yeah, there will be cancers or no, all these Jewish prophets, Elias. One time the Israelites had to beg Moses that the intensity of God's presence was too much. He said, Moses, you, let's, let's create a tent for you outside where you will be meeting God. And the Bible said they made a tent called the Tent of Meetings, and early in the morning they stand outside the house and the pillar of God will descend like fire, and God will be speaking with Moses face to face as a man speaks to his friend. Ah, so when Miriam was insulting Moses, that God had to come and say, Miriam, are you not afraid that a man who has found me this much, a man I speak with As a man speaks to his friend, don't you bring anything against such a man. We must encounter God. Oh yes, one time I was praying where I used to pray, and the Lord said to me, he said, I want to pass by, hide your face. When you hear such a thing, what do you do? What do you mean? You are in me is enough. He said, hide your face, I want to pass. So I laid down on the ground and covered my face. I thought maybe something will happen, I will levitate, and then nothing. I didn't feel anything.
Nothing.
But I noticed something when I laid down, covered my face. At some point, all the birds in that forest, all of them at once, shh, like there was an orchestra, someone conducting that said silence. There was silence, but there was no feeling. So I got disappointed and got up. And as I got up, I noticed something very strange. Till today, I have not gone back to that place. I noticed a footstep that is almost as big as from here and big like to this place, and it was there. One full step and there was water inside. I ran. One time my wife and I were eating. We just got married and we just Femi Lazarus said, you know, one day we're going to be eating like this and Jesus will come eat with us and he will tell us not to tell anybody. We laughed. And as we were talking, we also saw a man walk past in our house in white. I said, did you see that? I said, I did. I said, I did. Just the both of us. Just walk gently, pass by. I can't tell you more things that has happened that you can't even talk about. Sometimes I weep alone. How bad have we fallen? The things of God now look so distant, like it's not the same God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Jacob wrestled with him throughout the night. And he said, bless me. And he did bless him. We must go back to the days of panting for encounters, in desperate search for his glory. The glory of God is here, and I have more things to show you, but I want us to lift our hands for Forget about your human needs. Forget about the health that needs healing. Forget about all those things. You can sit where you are and say, Jesus, reveal yourself to me. Reveal yourself. Show me your glory. Bring me back. To the days of encounter with you. I don't want to become too busy for my meeting place with you. If you will cry sincerely from the depth of your heart and long for him, upon the thirsty ground he pours water. He will pour the water on you. He will reveal his glory. Like never before. One of the things he begins to do is that he begins to give you the heart of flesh. You just notice that your heart becomes so light, becomes so, so touchy. You become, you know, it's no longer as hard as it used to be. Reveal yourself, show me your glory, show me your Anointing, reveal yourself. Show me what your presence looks like again. Draw me in to your place. I'm tired of staying outside. I'm tired of being in the outer court. I'm tired of being in the outer court. Show me, show me. If you can pray that prayer, I give you 2-3 minutes. And just ask him, reveal yourself, reveal yourself to me, reveal yourself to me. We shall stand in a golden city in the New Jerusalem. All of you And all our tears will be gone. We will stand with the host of heaven and cry, "Holy is the Lamb!
Holy, holy, holy is the Lamb!" We shall stand in the Golden City, in the New Jerusalem. All our fear and all our tears will be no more. We will stand And we the host of heaven and cry, holy is the Lamb! Holy, holy, holy is the Lamb!
Holy, holy, holy is the We must not get used to doing without him. You must not get used to doing life without his presence. You must not get used to his gifts and not his person. We can ask for him to reveal himself, to break break loose his glory upon our lives. Let the fire return, let the freshness return, let contriteness— let our hearts fall in love with him again.
Bring me back to the place of the glory. Let me fall in love with you over again, Jesus. Let me fall in love with you over again. Restore my first love.
I can't tell I can't tell when it happened.
I know where I used to be with you. Restore unto me the joy of my salvation. Let my first love return. Fill me up again.
Just fill me up again. Just fill me up again. I can't manage. The farther I am from you, the more difficult life is. The farther away from your presence I am, the more confusing. The more I try my human senses, the more I try my human methods. Reveal yourself to me. Bring me close. Bring me to the place of the water.
Bring me back to the place of the fountains. Bring me back.
Oh yes. We bless your holy name. In Jesus' name. Sit for a moment. Open the eyes of my love. Open the eyes of my heart. I want to see. I want to see your face. To see you highly exalted, shining in the light of your glory. Pour out your fire and love as we sing. Holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, I want to see. Oh God, the Spirit of the Bye-bye. Tse sko. Shining in the light of your glory, pour out your power and love as we sing holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy.
How you want to see.
Oh, thank you. Though we are few, we're surrounded by many who have walked this river before. This is the song that will be singing forever. Oh, he is the Lord. Oh, he is the Lord.
I found the Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Thy name— oh yes— hallowed be thy name. Hear us, O Lord. Forgive our sins.
Forgive our sins. We pray to thee.
Lift your hands and say, Lord, reveal your glory in my heart again. Just reveal your glory, reveal it in my heart. Help my heart, break it and make it yours. Let me feel your love again. I can't die on these inside. I can't go cold on the inside. Make me alive to you again.
Oh yes, thank you, Lord.
Amen, amen. Still with me? Still with me? I want to teach you one of the secrets for experiencing the fire and the anointing. You want to know it? A very powerful secret. Um, unfortunately many don't pay attention to it. It looks so simple. We don't know that it's one of the biggest secrets of the anointing that I know. It's one of the biggest of the anointing that I know. And, um, it's one of the reasons why you you may feel that maybe somebody is not praying as much as you are praying, or not fasting as much as you are fasting, but there is a presence of God around the person you can't explain. And sometimes people get offended and say maybe this, and maybe the person knows something you don't know. True. Oh yes, because we are quick to judge people and feel, ah yeah, this fellow doesn't look spiritual, but you'll be amazed to you see the investment of God's glory around the person. There seem to be signs that God is saying, this is mine. Maybe for this secret, Psalms 51. Psalms 51. Oh, we bless your holy name, Jesus. I'm going to start reading from, um, verse 16. Psalms 51. Maybe we can be a simple translation to project New King James, a simple translation. Psalms 51, we'll read from verse 16. Psalm 51, verse 16. Let me read from here. It says that— let me read New King James. Okay, it say, for you do not I don't desire sacrifice, else I would have given it. You don't have delight in burnt offering. He said what in verse 17? He said, but sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, a broken and a contrite heart. You won't despise If the media can project the Amplified— I'm sorry, Message translation, I want them to do that now. Psalm 51:16, I want you to see it, Message translation. Psalms 51:16, Message translation. I'm going to read while I wait for them to to show you what it says. Look at verse 16. It says, going through the motions doesn't please you. That's message. He said, going through the motions. You know, I teach you the secret, you know, and I'm not in a way trying to condemn anybody's dimension, but But if you understand this secret, you will honestly not need gymnastics for you to see his presence. He said going through the motion doesn't please you. He said a flawless performance is nothing to you. Oh Lord, all my days I've never sinned, I've been righteous, I'm better than my colleague. He said it's nothing to God, and that doesn't mean righteousness is strong. But he went on to say, I learned God worship when my pride was shattered. Heart-shattered lives ready for love don't for a moment escape God's notice. You can't claim to love God that you have not seen and hate the people that you see. When he gives you the heart of flesh and breaks you. You can't sustain offense. You become the weak one who is quick to go and beg somebody because you know that you need that heart to be connected. Brokenness is one of the untold secrets of the anointing. If somebody steps up and say, Lord, I don't I don't want to be seen. I just want you alone to be seen. Reveal yourself in us. You'll be amazed to see the glory of God that breaks out when the vessel is dead. We can't be full of ourselves and be full of God. One must empty out. It's one of the biggest secrets. You know, I can't, I can't stay in God's presence and not cry. I just can't. I just can't.
He's real.
He's not a God somebody described to me. He's real. And you get to that point where your heart practically becomes the heart of a child. That's, that's maturity in the kingdom, is childlikeness. You to move from being an adult to becoming his baby. You see, so sometimes we think prayer is— sometimes we do all that and yet we don't touch God. Someone can sit down and interact. Lord, my Daddy, I want to thank you. As I step out today, I put your presence is interacting with God because there is heart-to-heart connection. Sometimes we— if I— do you know the reason why when two people are fighting they raise their voice? Psychological. Why are you raising your voice? Because although the person is close, emotionally you are distant. That's why you raise your voice. True? Yes. I'm not saying that's why we raise our voice in prayer. There are times that the Holy Ghost triggers that thing. You get what I'm saying? What I'm saying, when it's you and God, learn to pray from your core, heart to heart. That heart, that place. This is where we host the glory. Not here. Is here. Is here. Is the heart. That's the place of the presence. It is whatever happens here that is revealed here. That heart there, if God can break it and make it own, you'll be amazed. That you can be in his presence, and it's so easy for him to draw you to himself because your heart is his own. You've learned to sit down for a moment. You've learned to sit down. You see, believers, we must practice stillness. Stillness. We, we talk too much.
We talk too much.
We are too far from God. Stillness in the sense that. You stay in his presence sometimes with the song and just meditating till it is true, till you become one with what you are saying. We learn to be still and lift our hearts to him.
That's the way it works.
And that's why you see that any Anywhere there's going to be healing, compassion first, because it's a function of a heart that is broken. That place can't be hard and we host God. How do you sense his presence? Is that heart work? That's how you begin to sense the presence. That's— that— how do you stay in the presence?
It's the heart.
You, you, you begin to steady your heart on him by thinking about him. He has become your meditation. He has— he's created your imagination. That's what you're thinking. He's taking over your entire heart. The reason why many of us you can't function in the prophetic like you should is because, hey, the prophetic is a lot about your heart. You're praying and God is drawing you in and showing you something. It can't if your heart is far or hard. Listen, one of the signs of a heart that God has dealt with is that it is so flexible to switch. So flexible. Um, what I mean is— are you with me? Look up, everybody. What I mean by that is that when you get into God's presence, that heart, it not to find God. That heart is, is used to express So he can adjust fast. That's what a broken heart looks like. It can move fast. And the way Philip attached himself to the Ethiopian eunuch, the chariot, that heart can connect to God fast. That's what he wants to do on that heart. Are you still here? The primary office I function in is the prophetic, so I see whether my eyes are closed or they're open, and I can tell you It's a lot about the condition of your heart. Some Christians are like pipe. God flows through them, but when water flows through a pipe, it doesn't retain much. But some Christians, and that's the kind you should be, they are like sponge, like they absorb and they can begin to release. Anywhere. Once your heart is broken, you go to his presence and absorb. You become soaked. There are many times I don't want to have any business with anybody preaching. I just want to stay in the presence because once you absorb, it is addictive. You don't want to have any business with anybody again. You just want to stay in the presence. Become like that Christian. As you have come for a meeting like this, you absorb. As I'm teaching, even me that I'm talking, I can see it all over me and perceive it, the waves of God's glory. It is far from a man whose heart is rock. That's what is missing. That's one of the reasons why they say, 'Receive, receive, receive.' It's not by drama, it's that heart. When they sit on it, you become like a child. My first encounter with Jesus, I knew just by being a Nigerian, I need therapy.
It's true.
You may not know that the way life has treated you has reconditioned you from your original make. Why are people wicked because that's what life has served them. They don't struggle to serve it back. But when you encounter God's love, you give love everywhere you go. That's the secret. If you understand this one thing, you can stand in this room and not tell anybody you are doing anything. And sit where you are seated, and your heart is stirring the waters, and the glory will so fill everywhere. Oh, I can tell you more things. That heart, if he can gain control of it, it will amaze you. There are many things locked up on your inside, things that God would have loved to show you. You are too alive in the flesh. You are too— you are too alive. You will interrupt him. He wants you to be alive to him. It's a big secret. That heart. If you read that Psalm 51, you go and read the story of David. David wasn't your perfect guy, but you cannot bring him down. He's a man after God's heart. You couldn't bring him down. Let me give you a minute and say, Lord, will you do something about my heart?. And then I give you practicals. Pray that prayer for 2 minutes and I give you practicals quickly. While you pray that prayer, fix your gaze on him. See him, see him. Tell him, take away the heart of stone and give me the heart of flesh. Fix your gaze on him, fix your gaze on him. Fix your gaze on me. Fix your gaze on me. Just fix your gaze on me. Take away the heart of stone, give me the heart of flesh. I want to be able to carry your glory. I want to be able to carry your glory. I want to be able to carry your presence everywhere I go. Take away pain Take away pain from my heart. Take away unforgiveness. I forgive. Those are hindrances. I forgive. Take away odds. Take away guilt, the sense of guilt. God has not given you the spirit of bondage. Take away fear from my heart. There is no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus. Take away every sense of condemnation, every sense of nakedness, every sense of nakedness. Orphan spirit, take it away from my heart. Take it away, babe. I yield it to you.
Speak.
Speak. Thank you, Lord Jesus.
Now hold on a minute.
Listen, listen.
If you understand the contrariness of the earth. You can switch realms.
You can.
How many of you here are called into the prophetic one way or the other, either in songs, writing, visions, or intercessors? Raise your hand, let me see. Don't be shy about it. Raise it higher, let me see. Oh wow, quite a number. Okay, by the time we are done, there are many more who have a calling in that space who don't know yet, but they will find out. I'm gonna— this is— I know the ushers who have been standing, this is one of the reasons why you've been standing at the point. I'm gonna ask the Lord to release a breath light of his presence upon us here. Is that okay? And, um, those of you who are functioning one way or the other in one office or the other, there's going to be a release of his fire on it. But what I actually came here for is the kind of fire that will never go away again. I don't want you to have something brief. I don't want something to happen and after one week you are back to the same thing. At some point in my life, in the place of seeking God, he did something to my heart that I have never recovered from. I shared my story. After several attempts to commit suicide that didn't work, So finally I got born again and I fell in love with dying as a martyr. So I wanted to be killed and I was looking for who will do it. So at least somebody will do it, then it's no longer suicide. I will even get a crown for it. It was the lowest moment of my life. So I went to a street in Kano where I know that Kong jihadists are. You go there, they kill you. So I went with my friend and I deceived him. I deceived him. I wanted to die. I thought once they stabbed me, you were— oh yes, that's what I wanted. So we went there and I looked around. And look for the most Islamic looking person. So I saw two guys, so I went to meet them, and they were the ones I was preaching to. I was the one preaching. I was preaching in a way that I wanted them to be offended. So I preached to him and shout to him and shout, you give your life to Jesus or you just die and waste away. And the guy was He was just looking at me calmly, and when I was done, you know what he did? He placed his hands on my shoulder and said, Femi, I know why you came. First, I don't even expect this guy to speak English. Then number two, who told him my name? As he placed the hands on my shoulder, I fell straight, and he told my friend, he said, pick him up. From preaching to you now, it made him pick me up, and he told me all the attempts I've had to kill myself. Right there, and he told me everything about my life, and I was just crying. I wept. And he said to me that we'll meet again. So I said, sir, just before I go, can I get your phone number? He looked at his friend who didn't say walked around and said, we don't use phones. So I said, okay, um, sir, one more thing, just tell me your name so at least when next I meet you. He looked at his friend and then said, you can call me Emmanuel. So I said, okay, Brother Emmanuel. Um, okay, so just one more thing, sir. He said, okay, he said, talk to me. I said, just give me your address so I can be coming to your place to learn. He looked at that one and said, come to so-and-so Street, number so-and-so. I said, thank you, sir. First thing tomorrow morning, I'm there. The following day, I went there to see him. I took a bike. And when I got to that street, actually the name of the church is Emmanuel something something sanctuary. So I felt maybe Emmanuel that I saw, General Overseer of the church. So I knocked and they had a video. It was a Friday night, yes, that I met him. Then Saturday morning was when I went there. Then the pastor came out and said they had vigil. I said, thank you. I said, one of your people here gave me this address, Brother Emmanuel. And the pastor said, this is a young church, this is a young church, there are not many, and there's no Emmanuel amongst them. I said, no, no, no, I know what I'm saying. He gave me this address. He said he knows what he's saying. He said, "We are few." So I say, "You know all the members?" He said, "There's no brother Emmanuel here." So I left with disappointment. On my way back on the bike, I heard the voice loud and clear, "His name shall be called Emmanuel." Then it occurred to me that who did I meet yesterday who knew He knew everything about my life, met me at my lowest point and changed my life. After then, I had another encounter with Jesus, now not disguised, and he left me with something. He said, no matter how dead an atmosphere is, when you show up, I will show up. That's why I don't trouble I can preach simply and just talk like this. I'm going to tell you in a minute, the glory of God is going to saturate this place, and it will leave a permanent mark on your heart. Lift your hands to Christ where you're seated, everyone. This is the moment. This is the time. There's something you've been desiring to carry. This is the moment. I don't know how far you've come and what your heart desires. What I'm going to ask simply is that he pours water on the testing grounds, and those who have certain callings amongst you who are not even aware. He will reveal himself to you so much so that by mark of his fire, you will leave this place knowing where you belong. And some of you have seen some small things, but you've not seen anything yet. You've not seen anything yet. There's more for him to do. There's more for for him to reveal. There is more for him to show you. One of the marks that will follow this meeting is that long after I've left you here, the urge for prayer, for fasting, for intimacy will not cease. It will keep welling in your heart. So lift your hands to him and say, Lord, show me your glory. Wow! Femi Lazarus, pour out your anointing upon my life. Release your fire. Oh yes, that's the prayer. I'm going to leave you to register your own heart desire. Oh, release your fire, release it from the crown of my head to the the sole of my feet. I might want to encourage you to please sit down because of the weight of what is coming. But if you want to stand, you can stand. But if you want to sit, I encourage you to sit down because of the weight of the glory that is coming upon this house. My Father, my God, your children are here. These are end time forces who have been released across the world. These are end-time soldiers. There are prophets, pastors, apostles, evangelists, teachers here, and they are all already as battle-axe for the day of war. The body of Christ needs them now across the world. We have minstrels here who are sounds— raising worship sounds. We have teachers here. We have prophets who are called. We have Intercessors here, all over this room, from my right to the middle to the left, let there be an outpost of fire.
Let's—
first and foremost, I speak upon the prophets that are here, let there be a revival. Just have them— don't have to say amen where you Just, just stay where you are. Let there be an outbreak of the oil that makes men deep in that reality. Take it now. Let there be a reignition. Just help them. You have to really, really help them. I quicken the prophets, even those who are called to the offices and are not aware. I summon the depths.
Let the The fountains of the deep be revealed.
Sounds, utterance, lights. Let there be an outbreak of such upon them. I speak upon apostles, teachers, evangelists. Let fire fall. Lift your hands wherever you are, everyone. That the glory of God breakthrough in their heart. The newness, the new anointing, let it break out. Satan, lose your grip over this meeting and let the veil covering the heart of men be removed. Let the presence of God permeate now. I arrest the works of the enemy and I ask that everyone who came here to receive an impartation. Let the droplet of it begin to fall as rain upon thirsty ground. Let there be manifestations of the Spirit. Let there be an awakening quickly in their hearts. At the count of 3. 1, 2, 3. Break out now. Break out all over this place. Break out. Let the glory of God be revealed again. Again, there's a lady here. The Lord is bringing you back to the place of intercession that you have always sat, and the anointing for it is back. It is losing your tongue like the pen of a ready writer. That anointing is back. Let those who used to see get back to the place of seeing. Get back to the place of sight. Sight. Get back to the place of sight. Let fire come back upon the altar. All the ministers of the gospel, those who are called to preach, just, just hold them. Help him sit. Let the fire of the Lord— oh, we bless your holy name. That the glory of the Lord is revealed. Again, those of you who came here with so much hunger in your heart, this is the point. You receive it, soak it in now. Soak it in, soak it in, soak it in. This is the point to receive. Those who have the call of God upon on their lives lying fallow. Let the fountains be revealed to step into those dimensions, the presence of the Lord again. Oh Jesus. Don't hold it, don't hold it, don't hold it, don't hold it. You were not designed to hold it. Let the presence of the Lord run through this house. Now you might have to bring them out. Let the glory of the Lord Come upon you like rain. Let it come like dew and bring you into— some of you will see yourself, you are just dancing uncontrollably and just release yourself to the move of the Spirit. Some of you will notice there's a shaking in your heart. Don't worry, it's the move of the Spirit. It's the move of the Spirit. The glory of the Lord rise upon you to bring you into new waters, bring you into new waters that we need, new waters of the Spirit. Let the fountains be revealed of the Spirit, bring you into depths, depth.
Your Help, help, help.
Glory of the Lord rest upon you. Operation of the Spirit. The Lord himself introduce you to the angel of sounds and bring you to the sound room of heaven. Glory of the Lord. Hold that position. Oh Jesus. The Lord said he's a knight of the prophets. Oh, let the breath of the Holy Ghost— lift your hands, everyone, where you're seated.
Just bring him.
If you will allow him, will invade you. He will. He will, he will, he will, but he will not force himself on you. He will not force you to be hungry. He will not force you to desire him. He will not force you to need him. If you will welcome him with all your heart, you will see him. If you will long for him, you will see him. Fix your gaze gaze on him. Fix your gaze on him. Oh, we bless you.
Oh, thank you.
Let the weight of your presence follow Let the light of your river flow. Let the truth of your kingdom reign in us. Let the weight of your glory fall. Let the weight of your glory Reform. Let the weight of your glory— reform. Let the weight of your glory cover me. Let the light of your miracle flow Let the truth of your kingdom reign. He's extending invitation. Let the way of your glory— I can see the Lord stretching out his hands and saying, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me break into your heart. Let me fill you up. Let me fill you with my presence. Bring your yoke, let me carry it for you. Take my yoke, my yoke is light. I see the Lord saying, let me, let me, let me. He's extending his reach and saying, I want to help you. Lift your hands to him where you're seated and humbly cry, release your grace, release your presence, release your presence.
Oh, release your breath. Thank you, Jesus. Jesus.
Jesus, Jesus, allow him, just allow him, allow him to stay in the presence. Jesus, rise to your feet, everyone. Jesus, let your glory fill him for the next phase upon his life. Draw him in to your presence. Draw him in, draw him in, draw him in, draw him in to your presence.
Filling him with glory.
Introducing to it, introducing to it, introducing to it. Fill him with your power, Lord. Let the weight of God's presence from this moment— it's yours. You carry it strong.
It's yours. It's yours. Thank you, Lord Jesus.
Let the power of the Holy Ghost rest I hear the Lord say, separate unto me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. Listen, those of you who came to this meeting who have been sensing that there is a call of God upon your life in this season, step out quickly, step out quickly. Quickly, run out. Help them remove this one so I can minister to them.
Come, come, come.
One of the dimensions of God upon my life is that the Lord said he has placed upon me the grace to communicate what is flowing from the Fathers. I don't lay hands casually. I don't— I can't I can go for 10 meetings and never lay hands on anybody. I'm very conscious, but I'm going to lay hands on all of you, and my request is one: the anointing for the work and fresh fire. It now depends on your hunger. I can't do much if the one you are praying for has no desire or no longing. There are people who have been fasting for an encounter like this. If you have not, there's nothing I can do to help you. Lift your hands to heaven. I don't know what it is that God has placed upon my life that you desire, or even more. Ask him for it at this very moment. Once hands has been laid on you, you go and pray in the Holy Ghost. That's if you can, um, just them lift your prayer.
Pray fresh fire.
I don't know your desire. If it is an encounter of a lifetime you've cried for, Father, as I lay hands on your children today, let your fire And your anointing back them up. The fire that doesn't go out and the anointing of the Holy Ghost, let it back them up like never before. Let there be an outbreak and a release of something strong in your spirit. Let there be a release, something strong in your spirit. Let there be a release of something very, very strong in your spirit. Let the power of the Holy Ghost come upon you today. Help her, help them. Stay with me, stay with me. Let the power of the Holy Ghost help them. Sorry, it's going to be quite heavy even as hands are laid on you. I can't help Just make sure you receive. I don't know about your hunger. Father, in the name of Jesus, even as hands are laid on this one, separate them for what you have called them for. Separate them for it. Let the dimension of the anointing flowing from ages past find expression upon these ones. Let it find expression. Expression upon their lives, that they find expression. The spirit of wisdom the Lord gives you to begin to function in it beyond human understanding. Glory of the Lord come upon you in the name of Jesus, and the glory of his presence, and the glory of his presence. Laid on you today. Let the glory of his presence come upon you. Fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire.

Those of you who are called to the office of prophet one way or the other, place your right hand on your head wherever you are. You notice there's a dimension God has called you to. When next I'm coming here, I'm going to give 3 days of discipleship to train you into some things because I see that there's a need for that. Those of you, place your hands on your head. Let me see you.
Can you come?
Come. Those of you who are called prophets, not like you, not you called to that office, come. Let me see you quickly. No, stay on the keyboard. That's your own permanent duty. You are ministered to. I'll pray for you separately, don't worry. Stay on it. What's your name? Joshua. Keep playing, Joshua. Where are they? Oh, they are not sure anymore. There's a very strong prophetic heritage in this land. You can't be here and be dry. Stretch forth your hands, those of you called to that. Some of you have been functioning in it in some dimensions. You must know how to receive. Let the pastors— Pastor Taiwo, you have to help me assist them now because I don't even have to pray. You know how to draw. It's already been released. I don't have to pray. By just standing here, there's a lot to draw. I receive. Like I said, I don't even have to learn. Those who are called to an office where you must know how to connect and draw. I stretch my hands towards all the prophets standing here. Let the fire for the prophetic— at the count of 3. 1, 2, 3. Take it now!

Oh yes! Oh yes! Just release yourself to the move of the Spirit. Just release yourself. I'm sorry, there's a man here who moved from another city to this place because things were not working. The Lord wants me to lay hands on you. I don't know who that man is. You moved on— that is on the account of what brought you. I'm sorry, but if you're here, I quickly pray for you. I can't— oh yes, even those inside. Yeah, you don't have to be outside for God to do what he's doing. You don't have to be outside. The power of God is here, and there's a lot of angelic works going on, invigorating you with strength, with power, resharpening your visions. Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, oh yes.

I would have loved to pray for that man that the Lord spoke to me about. Is the person here? Something people are shy about.
In the name of Jesus.
So thank you, Lord Jesus. I speak a word of blessing over this house. Anyone who is sick, place your hands in that area. I don't care what the sickness is. I condition, any organ issue, I command in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, let the sickness pack the load and get out. Sickness, pack your load and get out. I curse the root of PCOS. I curse that which is called autism. Hormonal imbalance, be repaired. Allergic reactions, asthma, get out. Diabetes is reversed. Infections gone. You will not do your life in sickness. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Now can I pray for the team?
Where is she?
Woman of God. You come, and your entire team, everyone working with her. Do you mind, I ask, that you all please go on your knees even as I lay hands on you? Some of you have fasted, prayed, prepared. And spent for this meeting to hold. The Lord place upon you today a deposit. The Bible said Joshua was filled with the spirit of wisdom, for Moses the servant of God had laid hands upon him. Even as I lay hands on you all today, such as I your destiny needs. Let there be an activation of that which your destiny needs. The Lord himself rewards your labor of love. The Lord himself rewards your labor of love, and he helps you. Amen. He helps you, releases breath of fire upon you. The Lord himself rewards your labor of love and he helps you. From the depth of my heart, I release a blessing upon you. You carry it strong, it follows you everywhere. It works with you.
Can they come close?
From now onward, nothing dies in your hands.
Pray for them there.
Nothing dies in your hands. Uh-uh. If there's any woman here who is experiencing miscarriage. And those waiting, trusting God for the fruit of the womb, hear the voice of the Lord: that womb has life, in the name of Jesus.
Life. Life. In the name of Jesus.
There's somebody here who is currently dealing with accusation. That matter dies a natural death. Oh, thank you, Jesus. Let your living water flow by my soul. Let your Holy Spirit come and take My friend, you're wondering what's happening.
It's the glory of God around you.

Thank you, Lord Jesus. Jesus, let your living water flow from my soul. Let your Holy Spirit come Femi Lazarus. Every situation that has come about, all my years of burning onto you, I wrote All my cares have fallen on you. Ah, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. Thank you, Lord Jesus.
Amen. Please stand as I drop the mic. If there's anyone here who either is not born again or you want to rededicate your life to Jesus and serve him more, I like to be— you to be the last person I pray for. You want to give your life to Christ, or you want to rededicate your life to Christ, please come. You can— please, please don't be shy. If it is one person going through all this for your sake, is more than enough. Come, come, don't hold back, don't hold back. Jesus died over 2,000 years ago. He was publicly naked. We're not ashamed to identify with him. It's not a walk of shame, it's the walk of fame where we come out to accept his life. Please keep coming. I want to rededicate my life to him. I want to give my life to Jesus.
Come, come, come, come. Oh, thank you, thank you, Lord Jesus.
Thank you, Lord. Place your hands on your chest. Everyone say it loud and clear. Lord Jesus, I believe that you came into this world to die for my sins. I believe that you died for my sins. I also believe that you arose on the third day for my justification. Today I I confess you as my Lord and Savior, and I accept this gift of eternal life. Thank you, Jesus, for saving me. In Jesus' mighty name. If you have said that, the most important miracle in a man's life has taken place now. You may not feel it, but something has happened. So I speak blessings over you. Everyone in this meeting, be blessed and let the hand of God rest upon you. Um, where is, um, yeah, I want you—
I don't know how you are led.
Let one of the pastors just speak words over Else I just sense that I just Come on, put your hands together for Jesus. Come on, we can do better than that. We can do better than that. That's for Jesus. That's for the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Somebody come on, give him glory, give him glory!
Thank you, Jesus. You can take your seats. Man of God, we are grateful. We are grateful to God for the blessings that you've released upon us tonight. I am sure that what God has begun will continue on in Jesus' name. You know, as he spoke about fire, he said two things. One thing he said is that you can't fake it. What is there, you will see it, you will know it. And my hope is that there is something that God is about to begin in Kansas City, something amongst us. You know, one of the things that I noticed here tonight is that it's a lot of us young people that are here, and whenever God is about to begin a revival, he begins with us. Whenever God is about to do a new thing, it starts with you and I. The Bible says in the book of Acts chapter 4 and verse 31, he said, after they have prayed, the place was shaken and they were filled with the Holy Spirit. The place they were was shaking and they were filled. Remember, they were filled in Acts chapter 2, and then there is another filling in Acts chapter 4. So the filling continues, you don't stop it. Father, Father, Father, Holy Spirit, Spirit, Spirit, Spirit.
Femi Lazarus.
Father, may this new walk, this new fire, this fresh fire that you have ignited in us tonight light never go off. As your word says in Leviticus chapter 6 and verse 13, let the fire keep burning. For as many of us that have received a new light tonight, may the fire in our lives, continue to burn in our neighborhoods. May they continue to burn in our communities. May they continue to burn in our schools. May they continue to burn in our homes, in the name of Jesus.
Femi Lazarus. The man of God says something.
He said, if you think that Africa has demons and devils, think again. They are stronger here in America. They are stronger here, and you can see them clearly with your eyes. They don't hide from us. In Africa, they hide from us. Yeah, they appear before you and you embrace them. But as we leave from here tonight, my prayer is that our light will shine so bright that the devil himself will recognize that God has come. I have a book that I'm reading currently that because when God comes to church and when God appears, it's undeniable. Jacob said he was here and I didn't know it. But from today on, as we leave, wherever we go and wherever appear, the presence of God that dwells in us will cause many to know Jesus. In the name of Jesus, Father, take your glory, take your honor. And Lord, we thank you for your son that you brought your— our way. And I pray tonight, oh God, even as he He has blessed us. May you also, oh God, fill him up and may his ministry continue to shine around the world. This is my first time meeting him, oh God, and Lord, I prayed that wherever his ministry goes, let souls Souls be won to Jesus, their lives be transformed. Let changes happen. Blessed be your name, for in Jesus' name we pray. God bless you.
Hallelujah! Glory to Jesus! Thank you, Jesus! Amen. Okay, so we just have a quick video I want to play, and, uh, but before we do play, it's anyone that has not, uh, written their information as a new convert. If you, if you gave the— if you took the prayer call, the prayer to give your life to Christ, please find them at the back to fill out your information. I'll play the video right In 2019, a group of believers inspired by the Holy Spirit came together to raise a generation that would stand in their authority as believers in Christ. The book of Romans chapter 8 verse 19 says, "The whole universe that God has made now waits for something great to happen. Everything is waiting with hope to find out who God's children really are." who we really are. In response to this expectation, Ruach was born. You see, Ruach means wind in Hebrew. This was the same word used in Genesis chapter 1, verse 2, when Moses said, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters. Ruach Elohim is what is translated here as Spirit of God. Job chapter 32, verse 8 It is the spirit in man, the breath of the Almighty, that gives him understanding. This spirit is Ruach. So what are we waiting for? Our goal is to raise young men and women for the kingdom of God, to transform our city through kingdom-minded individuals, and raise kingdom-minded families that would facilitate the spread of the gospel of Christ. We are a body of believers passionate about spreading the gospel of Christ, not just with words, but with action and power. From indoor fellowship to street evangelism, we serve as the hands and feet of Jesus to the lost and aim to fulfill God's will, "On earth as it is in heaven." It is God's will that all are drawn to Him by believing in His Son, Jesus. We are his instruments in this quest to draw all men to Christ. So join us in this journey as we experience and express the power of God here on earth.
We are Ruach. Praise the Lord. Shall we rise up for the benediction? Thank you, Jesus. Lord, we are grateful. Lord, we give you glory, glory, glory to the Lamb.
We see for glory, glory, glory, glory, glory, glory to the Lamb of God. Glory to Jesus. You are worthy to be praised.
You are the Lamb upon the throne, and unto you be May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, the anointing and the fire we have received tonight remain and abide with us everywhere we go, forever and ever. In the name of God the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. God bless you all. Good night.
Announcement, announcements. If you're missing a pair of glasses, please find me. Announcement, announcements. Announcement, announcement, announcement. Oh, better. Announcements. If you're missing a pair of glasses, I'm here. Is this your glasses? No, it's not. It's yours? Okay, thank you. Glasses have been found. Amen.
