The excerpt captures the opening segment of the GHEALEAD Love & Fire Conference (Day 1, 2025) where the host (Speaker A) introduces a tribute to Apostle Femi Lazarus, followed by Speaker B delivering a poetic award citation that frames Lazarus as a "constellation" of revival across nations. The MC formally presents Lazarus with the "Award of Kingdom Impact and Revival Leadership for Blazing New Paths," highlighting his cross‑cultural ministry, mantle‑re‑ignition, and vision‑shaping role. The ceremony transitions into logistical announcements: a call for financial offerings and partnership support for Teach Me to Love You International Ministries, references to Luke 8:3 to justify resource‑based ministry, and details of upcoming breakout sessions (married couples, singles, men, women) scheduled for the next morning, including a Q&A segment. The host urges attendees to register, submit questions, and participate in worship, emphasizing heartfelt participation over entertainment. A brief worship lead by Stephanie Bigwan is introduced, and the segment concludes with a prayer over the offerings and an invitation for further partnership.
and will do this amazing, amazing presentation on our behalf. Glory be to God. So once you're ready, and once I hear the sound, I know that we are ready to go.
Some lives are like candles in a room, others are like torches on a mountain, and then there are those who become whole constellations, guiding, igniting, illuminating far beyond where their feet touch the earth. Apostle Femi Lazarus is one of those constellations. He has carried the language of revival across borders of tribes and tongues. He has lifted mantles that had gathered dust and breathed them into fire again. And though the North has felt his footsteps like rain on a thirsty ground, his calling has never been limited to a compass point. His reach has been a river flowing through every region, carrying light, healing, and awakening. We are witnesses to a journey that is not a single story but a tapestry—obedience woven with courage, sacrifice threaded with vision. This is more than ministry; it is the migration of grace, a movement that leaves no region untouched. Tonight, we mark a moment, not to put a full stop on a life's work, but to write another line in its testimony. With gratitude for the wells he has reopened and faith for the fires yet to come, we present Apostle Femi Lazarus an Award of Kingdom Impact and Revival Leadership for Blazing New Paths. Reviving full kote mantles and proving that when heaven sends a man, nations feel the flame.
Hallelujah! I would like to invite the SSG to please come up. Hallelujah! Glory be to God! And then now, once again, let us receive Apostle, Visionary, Gracious Destiny Shaper, Apostle Femi Lazarus. First of all, before the wonderful esteemed leader speaks, I want to say to every one of you that have come here tonight, we are not only coming out because we are spiritually ready to receive what God has through him, but we are saying to him we are encouraged by his ministry. For those of you who don't know, he grew up in the north, Kano to be precise. Yes, but somehow he said, somehow he didn't come to Jos, but Teach Me to Love You, Jos— God was waiting for Teach Me to Love You to bring him to Jos. And so we want to say to the fiery, dynamic mantle activator, cutting-edge revivalist, destiny shaper, pathfinder, audacious Apostle Femi Lazarus. Plateau State loves you. Okay, uh, you are welcome to Plateau State, the best state with the best weather, the best people, the best food. We are not who we say they are, who they say we are. We are God-fearing people. We love God. Very intelligent people, very hardworking, very trustworthy people. We welcome you to Plateau State, and we hope that we'll see you again. Congratulations. Hallelujah! Come on, your celebration can be more until they take their seat. Thank you, thank you, sir. Please be seated. Hallelujah! All right, um, I'm going to do something very quickly. Um, public relations team, if you can have— if you have the partnerships forms, fine, get it ready. If you don't have it, just get things that we can use as alternatives. Glory be to God. Bible speaking, the book of Luke chapter 8 and verse 3, the Bible said Jesus began to move from one city to the other, and while he was doing what God asked him to do, as anointed as he was, as graced as he was, as God in human flesh as he was, the Bible says there were certain women that were walking with him, ministering to him from their financial substance. The NLT and also the, um, God's Word Translation says they minister to him with their money. They supported him with their financial resources. Resources. Why we will not shy away from the fact that ministry needs resources— we want to intentionally say to every one of you that you've spent time, resources to support us, but for us to be able to continue to do whatever it is God has asked us to do, we want to plead with every one of you to make sure that you find your place in this vision. An attack on the family is an attack on the nation. And we would love as many of you who God has spoken to you about the need for you to create an altar that can be speaking on behalf of your family. This is the time, this is the season. I can tell you wonderful testimonies have come from our partners who have supported us. Tomorrow we are going to be having the breakout sessions, breakfast breakout sessions. We have 3 amazing sessions curated just for you. The first session will be the married and the singles. The guests that we have will be ministering specifically to the married and then also to the singles at different points in time. We'll be starting very early because we want God to finish what it is that he wants to do. And then right after that, the next specialized session will be the men and the women. We believe God men are rising, and we believe we wonderful women are emerging. And so Pastor Stephanie and Pastor Miracle will be ministering to the women, and by the grace of God, Pastor Apostle Femi Lazarus and I will be speaking to the men. But I'll be doing more of a moderator to help connect the wonderful men here with what God wants to do as the man of God speaks. So please do not miss tomorrow's session. And of course, to tie up everything, in the morning session we'll be having another Q&A where you will be having an opportunity to ask amazing questions. In fact, we had close over 1,000 people that registered, close to 400 questions. We trust God to be able to make sure some of those questions are put together in such a way that we're able to answer them in the little time that we're going to have tomorrow. Glory be to God. So if you've not registered for the conference and you've not dropped your questions, please feel free to do that. And I trust God somehow, some way, he will be able to answer it tomorrow morning in the name of Jesus. So tomorrow's morning session is starting 7:30 AM. For the first set of people who can make it by 7 AM, um, there will be breakfast for you, but we're going to start prayer. So if you believe maybe food is going to stop you from praying well, you don't need to eat. You can just come, and in this place we'll have some time to pray so that God can do what it is that he wants to do. Hallelujah! So very quickly, I want you to put together an offering to the Lord. We're going to do the offering and also the partnership. So first of all, what I'm going to do is If you would like to be a part of the partners to stand with us, uh, in the Teach Me to Love You family, we have just things that— to certain things that will give you information as to what it is that you need to do. We have at the PR desk a few persons that will be there to give you more information about what it is that we do. So please, please feel free to go there and ask more questions. All right, let's package our offerings unto the Lord. Let's just do that very quickly. Um, I decided I was going to do this because I want to be very, very brief. We had asked someone to do this, but I decided that we're going to do this because we wanted to be very, very brief. Glory be to God. They packaged your offerings. I believe the, um, account number is on the screen if you like to give it in form of a transfer. If you need an envelope, maybe you like to give in form of cash, just raise your hand. The ushers are moving around with envelopes to give to you so that you can give your offerings with dignity. Glory be to God. And also, if you'd like to write a check, please make it payable to Teach Me to Love You International Ministries. Uh, yeah. And then if you like to give it in form of any wireless or— yeah, wireless transfer at the PR desk, at the registration stand, we have POS stations that can also receive your gift. Um, yeah, my pastor will always say when it comes to Bamshak's needs, he doesn't know how to ask people. But when it comes to the kingdom needs, he will come to your eye and he will ask you. Glory be to God. And so I'm doing this intentionally because I know the body of Christ needs it, um, and the families on the plateau and on the globe need it. Glory be to God. Hallelujah. Amen. So while you are doing that, um, we're going to be receiving the ministry of one of the many voices that God is raising from the plateau. Oh my God, before I continue that, they're asking me if I'm— those of you who would like to partner, right, um, like I said, just raise your hands. The ushers and the PR, uh, team are standing by the back. They are standing by to just collect it. And then also, you can— if you— in case you don't want to do it here, the PR team are just at the exit there you can do that. Glory be to God. I say glory be to God. All right, let's pray for the offerings. Father, we are grateful for the privilege to give to you. We ask that by this offering, let it represent the token of our love to you. You gave us your Son, and by that offering you're winning the world. We're asking that as we give this offering, let yet more men and women who need to come into the knowledge of your grace— let families, marriages that are yet to come into the full fulness of your will. By this offering, let them encounter such in the name of Jesus. Thank you, precious Redeemer. In Jesus' name we have prayed. Amen and amen. Glory be to God. All right, um, would have a short worship session, and after which would have a video introduction And afterwards, the voice you hear is the voice of one who God has raised to do an amazing work on the globe. There are many persons that are here today that can attest their lives have changed since they began to sit under this person or listen to him. I would like your heart to be stirred up in the worship. Don't sit like you have been, uh, like it's an entertainment. No, if there's need for you to worship, worship. If you want to, if you want to stand, stand. But ensure that your heart is in the worship so that at the end of the day, when the word comes, it will find a ready ground again, in the name of Jesus. Ladies and gentlemen, to lead us in a very short worship is My Green Pastures and Still Waters. The only wind in my sail The one who has the capacity to make angels beckon to fall so that they can be mentored by her. She's beautiful, she's gracious, she's amazing. Those of you who have visited us, you know she's an amazing cook also. She is the wonderful big breakthrough that God has given to me. She is my wife and the mother of our 4 children. Receive to minister Stephanie Bigwan, make it louder.
Hallelujah! Praise God! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! It's time for us to worship. Like he said, it's not about someone singing or entertaining you, but worship is a vital aspect of a believer's life. Take away worship, what else do we have to offer God? At the end of the day, our resources, what do they amount to at the end of the day? But your personalized worship is one of the— and he is deserving of our worship— take place. Healing occurs. I don't know about you, but there are times when I've gone before God in just worship and he has cleansed my soul. So if you are here and you are in need of healing, you need to break out from trauma, even if your body is sick, but I can tell you, under an atmosphere of worship, Where the Spirit of the Lord is in manifestation, no obstacle can exist. No mountain can remain a mountain. No valley will remain a valley. So this point, I just want you to offer God the best that you can offer Him with your lips. Can you picture God? Who is like our God? Take your eyes from everything around you and focus, focus on your audience of one. Before the throne is where we've come to offer praise and seek wisdom. You have told the way. That's separation.
