HARVEST SUMMIT '24 DAY 4 EVEN DR. DELE OSUNMAKINDE | APS. FEMI LAZARUS | PST. IMISIOLUWA OWOLABI

to Sundays. We pastors, that's when we try to rest a bit after service. Thank you, sirs. So this morning I told you that— was it a warning? Tonight it is a firing up session. After tonight's teaching, you should have template for the grace for big things. Amen. Do you believe? Well, let me start from a story. Exodus. Please turn your Bibles to the book of Exodus. This session is going to look like I'm holding a closed-door leadership session. Okay, so it's like a strategy meeting. Is that okay now? It's a strategy meeting, so I want us to pay attention. So if you are here, for instance, and your plan in life is to get some small change, marry, give birth watch Netflix, what I'm about to teach won't make sense. But if there's someone whose quest is for more, whose desire is for nations, then you are in the right place. Amen. So let me show you a story. Exodus chapter number 1. Let's start the reading from verse 5. Exodus 1 from verse 5. And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were 70 souls, for Joseph was already— was in Egypt already. And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation. And the children of Israel were fruitful— somebody say fruitful— and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty. 'And the land was filled with them.' Maybe for the sake of time, because I may forget, if they ever combine all those qualities, you should not say the land was filled with them. You should say the land was filled with their works. Okay, I will come back to that. Now, verse 8, there arose up a new king over Egypt which knew not Joseph. You know, whenever I read this part, I'm like, stop that, na lie, na lie, you know him. But you know the danger of having over 2 million people in your territory who see one of their own as the one who saved the territory. So there was a deliberate attempt to edit history and remove Joseph. This is what I know will happen. Whenever I hear the church say things like our only assignment is salvation of souls, you cannot say you are thinking generationally if you are not systemic. Let me— let's build, let's build. And he said unto his people, behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier. So that's just not numbers now, that is, they are many and then they have might than we. Come on, let us deal wisely with them. Lest they multiply, and it come to pass that when there fallet out any war, they joined also unto our enemies and fight against us. And so get them up out of the land. And they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Rameses. But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and what? Grew. And they were grieved because of who? The children of Israel. So hold on a minute. Two, um, categories of growth was referenced to them. The first one was that they were more, they were many, they were mightier. But as affliction came, just one class of growth was left— multiplication. Might had left. Are you here? Look at me. What Pharaoh did was that, having discovered that these guys could not be stopped, They studied them and decided what can break their spirit. And the curriculum they invented to break their spirit is the curriculum of affliction, that they have the capacity to multiply but not to be mighty. Let me show you Genesis chapter number 1. Let's build. Genesis 1, let's start the reading from verse 26. I want us to look at the template of God for growth. And God said, let us make man in our image, after our likeness. Let them have dominion— I'm sorry— and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. Verse 27: So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28: And God blessed them, and said, be what? Be fruitful, and what? Multiply. You know, I told you yesterday, multiplication is not the good news. 0 times 1 million Ah, it's zero. Zero plus 1 million? Multiplication is bad news if you are not fruitful. You see, first you are fruitful in a place, then you multiply the fruitfulness. That's it. We don't change territories until we are produced. We don't leave a territory because it didn't work. We make it work, then duplicate effect. Tell your neighbor, be fruitful, then multiply. Don't multiply before you are fruitful. That's the template. You bear fruit. You must have the mind that anywhere your feet steps, it will work. Not it may work. It must work. Say it again. It must work. Say it again. The reason why people fail in territories, because they already have Plan B from the moment they step there, that if this place doesn't work, then we try that other place. Then it means you are not the candidate for certain kind of insight. There are lands that doesn't open up until sons are ready to die there. You carry that spirit. It must Work. And you don't need template for those who have done it before, honestly, because sometimes they might have failed the intentions of God by playing small. And you can celebrate what God is trying to move on from. What I found out is that there are times that the devil plays the fool. Let me give you an instance. Maybe somebody came from a family where your dad didn't build his house until he was in his 60s. You will believe that it is success to build yours in your 30s, and from the moment you are slightly better You feel fulfilled. And the devil— so look up, I'm trying to get your mind there. This example is tough because we're in the UK, okay? Um, if I give you— let's say if I give you— or let's say if I gave you $10,000 in, um, 20 19. That's roughly about ₦3 million. Okay, let me not use that example. While we were serving, I think NYSE were taking 98. So I heard that they increased the new copper's allowee to what? But the purchasing strength of this one is less than the 98. Nothing changed. With what you know, beating the record of your father alone is not success, because if he knew what you know, he would have done better. So the devil allow you just to set a small margin beyond that and say, I'm done. I'm saying that there are times that you are left with nothing but multiplication. Might is gone. And the curriculum that gets that done is the curriculum of affliction. What is affliction? Put them to do work, what we call unskilled labor. Let people do the thinking, let them do the working, then let them keep going like that. And, and, and that's what's going on in our society. We're just quite satisfied. Morning till night, rest. Morning till night, rest. Morning till night, rest. And everything from that is what barely keep you existing. God's plan for us is not existence, it's striving. It's dominion. Say it again. I have dominion. I have dominion. Say it loud and clear. I have dominion. One of the reasons why people are arguing about tithe and giving and all those things is lack, period. Is what? Lack. In every ministry, the highest givers don't talk because they understand the principle. The one who gave and all, that's all that is left that is angry because when he gave, he thought that it will multiply when he gets back home. You will so have that you will give with pleasure. Amen. I didn't hear amen to that. Amen. You will enjoy it. Amen. You'll be fascinated with it. Amen. It will be your lifestyle. Amen. The consciousness of a natural man is it will soon finish. The consciousness of a spiritual man is the source can't run dry. That's two different consciousness. So Pharaoh built a curriculum and they said, number one, how do you reduce people who are more and mightier? He said, let's deal with them with wisdom. Let's deal with them with wisdom. Let's set over them taskmasters to afflict them. Let's give them tasks that keep them existing. They— if you ask them, they will say, I am gainfully employed. They were working in Egypt, they were living in Goshen. Hope you know that Goshen was not good news until the plague came. There's a very powerful example of that in Nigeria, you know. After I move from mainland, work in island, I didn't love it. You ask me, I will deny it. How do you work in a city you can't live in? That was the template he set, and they were satisfied with that template for 430 years. You know what happened was that there were children that were born who didn't know what freedom looked like. What they met was all they've ever known. So when God came through Moses and said it's time to set them free, they didn't know what freedom looked like. There is a principle, it is called institutionalization. Let me explain what that means. Can I have a male? Amen. Thank you, sir. Let's assume someone— you will not be arrested. He doesn't answer to amen. You won't do us bad. Okay, but yeah, he's a good man. If you take a man and lock him up in the prison for what he's done, there's a number of years you keep him there for that all his essence will be defined in respect to prison. The prison yard becomes the place of his importance. When he goes outside where there's freedom, he doesn't feel important. But when he gets back to the prison yard as a class captain in the prison cell, he feels like a king. But when you take him to the place of freedom opportunities, he feels like a peasant. So he commits crime again to go back to where he's a king. It is called— he's institutionalized. It's like when you drop a leaf on a soap, they become one. There is a way a man can become one and same with his body that you even handle your body with swag, suffering and smiling. The tendency to think bigger, to see beyond that scope, is dead. The fellow has eyes, but he can't see beyond. It's a system. And curriculums get people there. Let me tell you this: the greatest tool that keeps the powerful in power, that's the most effective tool— I'm writing a book about this, about 1,000 pages this year. So it's a template for Africa to emerge. I call the book Reversing the Mistakes of Joseph. So let me, let me give you this. You pray, right? Okay, let me have you again, sir. Please come. Can I have another male? Please come. Pay attention to this illustration. This is a rich man. This is a powerful man. The rich guy has money. The powerful guy has more than money. He has men. This is how Africa is powered. The rich guy wants power. To have power, you need people. Let me have 5 people, male or female. To have power, you need people. So he uses money, form a circle around him. He uses money to buy people. Form a circle around, join your hands together. Then you have people. Then to have these people as his loyalists, He uses money to give them what is enough to keep them coming every day, not what will take them out of his grip. Because as long as he puts them where they will keep coming every day, he will control them. Then we build systems around this. I believe that there is a coming revival in Africa, and it is going to be the revival of systems. Yes, yes. People who will go back and say our academic curriculum can't produce those who can compete with the world. What it will produce are these guys. Until this circle is broken, you can't win any election because these guys will suffer for 4 years and they'll be bought in one day. And because they have to survive, they will sell their conscience. The loyalty of these guys, as long as they are broke, is cheap. Meanwhile, you can be here and be tongue speaking, but this is where you are until someone breaks the circle and say, we want more than food, we want more than raiment. We want something more. I— my heart is heavy. God will give you the audacity to touch systems. Femi Lazarus. Because this is what we are called to do. We can't break these structures if we are small. God told me this year that to begin to make— raise a prophetic alarm that it's time for Nigerians in diaspora to start returning home to build the walls of Jerusalem. While I was contemplating and thinking about that, one of the ambassadors of Nigeria to one of our— the countries around was in our church, and he said God had told him to come talk to me about something we should do together. And he said 2024 made it exactly 400 years that the first slave was sold out of Nigeria. Yes. So it means we're in our Kairos, and those who be relevant in this Kairos can't be those who are thinking about daily bread. They must be longing for more. Because God is not glorified by your smallness. You know, in Africa we overstretch everything somehow. One time when we were constructing our work in Abuja, we had the situation where they brought tractors to pull down the structure. One of our members, who single-handedly sponsored about 3 governors into power, was at the site, and he stood in front of the tractor, and he said to the person driving it, I know you are here to work for the government. Ask me for any amount, I give you now. That's not tongues, that's power. We pray when we should pray. We wield power and influence when we should wield it. That even Jesus was killed and his body was laid down Until Joseph, because of the range of his influence, could negotiate. The salvation story today could have been in doubt, but God raised the man who knows system. I don't want us to be tongue-speaking, heavenly conscious people with earthly irrelevance. I want the scope of our minds to stretch beyond daily bread, to stretch beyond rent, to stretch beyond clothes, to stretch to stretch beyond the mundane things and think transgenerational thought. You've got to see it. We have been rounded up. You can be in this city for 50 years, and at the end of the day, what you have to show is what grace can produce in a day. Change of city doesn't mean you have improved revelation. It doesn't mean so. That's just the truth. Before I continue to— because I have some very serious things, I'm just getting started— I, I just want us to pray that, Lord, you will flood my heart with light to see beyond mundane things. You can sit for a while. Flood my heart with light. I, I wish you would pray more. I just wish you will, you will test more. I wish you will press more. I wish you'll be angry at this point. I wish you will, you will long for something more. Oh, I wish you will. I wish you will. Oh, I wish you'll pray more. In Jesus' mighty name we are praying. Sit down for a while. Look at it. Exodus chapter number 14. I want us to see what Pharaoh did. I think the same curriculum is in operation, and we must stop it, because I will show you the effect of the success of that curriculum. God has raised us to be lawgivers. I didn't hear amen to that. We write laws in the heart of the society. We write laws. We can't do that small. We have the Holy Ghost, but that Spirit energize us to infiltrate systems. That I see God releasing wisdom to change things. I have, I have academic templates that will swallow up the issue of unemployment in Africa in 10 years. Several stuff. I don't want to get to some issues so we can stay on course. Exodus 14. And by the way, you are not here because you need help. You are here because they need help. Ah, the difference must be clear. The land needs you. That's why you are here. You are not here for corn. You are here to spread the influence of the kingdom. That must be clear. That must be clear. We're ambassadors, not tourists. We are spreading the fragrance of the kingdom. Is that clear? Now let me tell you something. Don't look down on yourself. You see, don't look down yourself. You are— you carry what nations need. Yes, and you are going to begin to produce them in this season. You will start releasing those fragrances. I didn't hear that amen loud enough. America needs you. Leicester needs you. United Kingdom needs you. Africa needs you. The world needs you. People like you are not common. Limited in supply. Why should you look down on yourself? Look at the things you've been sitting to receive for the past how many days. This God downloading curriculums. Or you think you just came here, you've done your master's, you think of— it is set up so you can enter into rooms and negotiate. There are rooms that certain conversations are said and certain things entered the society to cause chaos because God didn't have children there. And that's one of the issues. Many people just believe that once you are called and you have an anointing, you're a pastor, because that's the context we have boxed the anointing. But there are Daniels. Some of you feel that you will not get to a point that the nation will call you. And say, teach us. That's where we are going. Kings will come to the brightness of our rising. That's where we are going. Kings, kings, nations will come. Before I read that Exodus 14, let me show you a scripture. Obadiah chapter number 1. 17. Obadiah 1:17. You see, you need to start renewing your mind about yourself. Nobody can help you see yourself better if you see yourself less. When I walk, I tell myself, the kingdom of God is on two legs. The kingdom is on two legs. The kingdom is on two legs. But upon Mount Zion there shall be deliverance, and there shall be what? Holiness. And the house of Jacob will possess there. Can you give me— is it verse 21 now, the last verse? And saviors will— look at it— and saviors shall come up on Mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau, and the kingdom shall be the Lord's. I carry the saving anointing. I want you to say it again. I carry it. There's nothing normal about me. There's nothing to be pitied about me. Oh, I wish we would know. I wish you would see that there are angelic forces that are only— they only spring to action when songs become audacious. Let me tell you something. There are kingdom provisions you won't know exist as long as your portion is daily bread. You won't know exist. He said, I am the Lord God of all flesh. Is there anything? Exodus chapter number 14. Look at what Pharaoh did to them. Are you there? Look at it. Let's start from verse 8. You know the story, that was when they left Egypt. And the Lord had in the heart of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel. And the children of Israel went out with what? And I and up. Don't mind the grammar, don't worry, that's King James for you. All right, but the Egyptians pursued after them, all horses, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh and his horsemen and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea. All right, beside Philippiot. All right, before Belzepon. Yes, and when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes and Behold, the Egyptians marched after them, and they were so afraid. And the children of Israel cried unto— who? The Lord. Look at verse 11. Now they said to Moses, because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? Wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt? Yes. Is this not the word? So we now saw that there was a prayer conversation. Is this not the word that we did tell you in Egypt, saying, let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? They've been institutionalized, they've conformed, they've taken that issue, the injustice against them, as their destiny. They said, leave us alone, let's serve these guys, for it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, ah, than we should die in the wilderness. You know, you know, the journey— in fact, I saw something online recently. I've not tried it, I don't know how true this is, but someone, you know, people, social media and technology, just pick the phone and then check the description of where they were in Egypt. Egypt and then to where they were going, and then check on Google Map and then brought out the time. You will wonder, why should anybody spend 40 years on this kind of journey? The Bible said God did not lead them through the way of the Philistines because they will see war and turn. He had to lead them for 40 years not to escape war, but to master how to fight the war they didn't fight yesterday. What I'm saying is that your lack of audacity will make your journey longer to learn what you should do audaciously. What you didn't have audacity for, you will have to go and learn audacity for a longer time to come back and do that same thing. Say it after me: Blessed be the God of David. Who teaches my hands to war and my fingers to fight? Say it again! Blessed be the God of David who teaches my hands to war and my fingers to fight. Blessed be the God of David who teaches my hands to walk and my fingers to fight. Blessed be the God of David who teaches my arms to work— and my fingers to fight. It teaches my hands to war. You must master the art of fighting. This one that whenever people disagree with you, you start asking, what's wrong with me? I don't know what I've done wrong. I don't know why everybody's against me. Keep quiet. And clothe yourself with strength. Some of us have become crying, crying Janets. Cry about everything. I thought it was going to be easy. I didn't know I was going to face all this. What did God prepare you for? For ease? He prepared you to fight. To see obstacles and face it. These guys didn't know. Look at what the Bible said about them, Psalm 114 from verse 1. You'll be amazed. How should people who are disendowed— look at now— Pharaoh and true affliction reduced their sights to nothing. When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob, from a people of strange language, Yes, Judah was his sanctuary. That's God's sanctuary. And Israel is what? Dominion. The sea saw it and fled. Jordan was driven back, meaning that while they were crying before the Red Sea, spiritually the sea had fled. There are things you are crying about, but in the spirit realm they are on their heels already. You must know when the water separates. Things happen in the spirit first before they happen in the physical. They said, leave us alone in Egypt. You know, one of the things affliction did to them was that it reduced their appetite to food. At some other time, they began to say that we preferred the garlics, the melon, the cucumbers in Egypt. And I'm trying to think, what's really sweet about cucumber? What's— you know, I, I don't like onions or anything, so Garlic belongs to that category. I'm like, what's nice about garlic? Melon? Which melon? What's fantastic? Have you heard people sit down and they are saying things like, we remember those days, those days, and those good times that they are remembering, they are bad times. Because there's no other time to refer to. They keep saying, ah, imagine what God must have been feeling like. The Messianic seed was locked up in the nation and they were preparing slave— they're preferring slavery. They just sit down and start jizzing and say, ah, you know that time that we were working, that Egyptian guy came to give us some melons? Ah, we miss those days. Pharaoh damaged them. It was in their journey I found out that it can get to a point that there are people God can't repair. Let me tell you what God did. God told Moses— I want the media to project that scripture for me— he said to Moses, said, let's wipe out these guys. Yes, Moses, I'm done. Let's take them out of— let me kill all of them and start something new with you. You know, God, as we study God in the scripture, God didn't— he didn't present himself as— he reasons with men. So Moses said, if you do this, they will say you brought them out but you couldn't take them there. And nations will begin to laugh at us. The Bible said, then God repented of the evil which he had thought to do. But God was tired. What did Pharaoh do that even God could not buff them from? What curriculum did he pass them through that even God struggled to help them? Even God. They were doing strange things. They said, ah, we want meat, we want meat. There's nothing else for us to eat but this, this manna, this manna. This man, and they were gathering around Moses. If he didn't give them meat, despite the fact that he was the one that brought them out of Egypt and he was the one that God was to take them to the— they will kill him for meat. If you look at the children of Israelites in wilderness, copy and paste Nigerians, the same and the same. There comes a time that you go through a curriculum that the nation becomes enshrined in bitterness. They will even kill their saviors. What God is doing now is to raise people that will overhaul the curriculums and begin to install new. There's going to be healings in the land. The heart of people— we have work! We have work. You need to see it, and you are part of that work. That's why you are hearing what I'm teaching. We have work. The people have been taught to prefer daily bread. Above freedom. And the Lord repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people. You know, Pharaoh said, even if you leave Egypt, you won't be useful in the hand of that God. Have you seen a case, situations that you had friends that you've not been in touch for years and you keep remembering the old days and you keep suffering? When I see them again, oh, we will gist. Only to meet them and they open their mouth to talk and you discover we both went different directions. Your friend is there but not there. The Israel that went to Egypt was not the Israel that came out. God came for his lover, but he met a damaged bride. Pharaoh broke them. Pharaoh broke them. Pharaoh broke them. It took years to do that. He broke them, he broke them, he broke them, he broke them. It was so bad that when they went to spy the land of Canaan— I want the media to project the scripture for me— they said, we saw the sons of Anak, we were like giants No, we are like ants in our own sight. So were we in their sight. And the Bible said they brought evil report and God was grieved. The people, do they know who they were? Israel was not just one nation God fancied. I'm saying the Messianic seed was locked up in that nation, and God was going to guard his seed. They were God's treasured possession. They didn't know because a system broke them, and they couldn't see beyond their afflictions. They couldn't see beyond their chains. They couldn't see beyond their burdens. Many of you can no longer see yourself in the light of that which God sees you. You've come to believe that you are a failure because you failed, or you've come to believe that you're a bad person because someone calls you so, called you so, or sometimes because, um, you were sacked at work, so you felt worthless. Or maybe a marriage didn't work, then you feel this is who I am, nothing just works in my hand. You've got to learn to fight. Let me tell you something, I, I used to belong to a boxing training school, so I learned boxing, okay? And people can see me on the road and still feel that he's just a pastor, let's molest him. Actually, I will cheat them. So I learned boxing. But so this is the gist. I dropped out of boxing school, and it was a girl they brought to our, um, gym, and then they asked me to spar with the girl. She beat me. She did. Wherever she is, God has forgiven her. What she did to me was bad. And the fact that it was a lady doing that, so the shame was so loud, I couldn't go back again. That's the truth. She beat me. She didn't box, she beat. She came to beat me. So after a while, again I said, what can I do? So I also did— there's this thing they call man o' war. You must know all those stuffs. I just be doing some training that nobody is paying you for. It was also one female commandant. Again that came. Oh yes, we've been standing in the sun to stand at attention. I was tired. She just came to my back and then kicked me from the back, and I was on the floor. For how much? For how much? I'm done. In combatant sport, your hands responds to the quality of your mind. The quality of your mind. A man can be physically strong, have all the six-pack, but if he's broken on the inside, they will beat him again and again. And that's why you see that when boxers are about to fight They trade words. They are trying to get to the mind. Anybody who fight knows that the battle is not on the surface. Many fighters have been defeated inside before they enter the ring. And one of the ways boxers fight is to get you to be angry so you will not fight from strategy, you fight from emotions. Once you drop your game plan, you'll be knocked out. Stay with the game plan. Sometimes that's the goal of affliction, to get you to begin to overreact, spill injuries. Then you are knocked out. You start spilling things you ought not to spill. Be strong. God is going far with your life, and the things that has happened in the past should not break your spirit. Samson was captured. Yes, he was captured. Oh, they made him to push their stuff. So they did that, but what they did not know was that God locked the strength in what can grow. They caught it, but it grew. They were busy afflicting him, but they didn't see that something was growing back. Samson died because he decided to. It was his prayer that, let me just die with my enemies. Would have seen another template of God using a blind man to wield victories. Your injuries should not make you conclude about the journey. I say, I'm just done, I'm bruised, I'm injured, let me just do this, let me just, let me just survive, let me just, let me just face my children now, that's all that is left. You are gonna do more than raising children. You have a nation to raise. Get up! You're gonna do more than raising children. Don't let that thing break you. You must stand. Are you there? You look at adversity in the face and say, I won't give up, I won't stop, I won't take a name that is not mine. There is hope for a tree even though it is cut down. The stump works old in the earth. At the scent of water, it will spring back again. I see God telling you, get back to where we stopped. Get back. The things I was saying is still what I'm saying. It's comma, not full stop. Get back to work. Some of you think because time is gone, so what God called me for initially, I won't be able to do it anymore. No, he has not changed his mind. The strength of Israel won't fail. You won't fail. You won't fail. I see God releasing grace and capacity for much more. There are things that you used to believe was part of your curriculum, but later you grew to know nonsense, then you called it fantasy. It's time to get back. It's time to get back. Let me show you a scripture as I tie this up. Are you tired of me tonight? Oh, glory to God! Thank you, Lord. I'm going to say something in Yoruba and I will try to interpret because that's what carries the weight. The devil wants to bring people to a point where they are still not— they are not useful in the hand of God. They are in his hands. So can I ask you for a minute to pray that I go back to my place of strength again? And some of you, dust has covered certain things. Can you shake it off? Can you get angry and shake it off? Hey! Shake it up! Out of my belly shall flow rivers, rivers of living water. Yeah, yeah. Out of my belly shall flow rivers Rivers of living water. Shout flow, flow, rivers, rivers of living water. Let it flow, let it flow. Let it flow! Let it flow! Let it flow! Let it— oh let right here now let it flow that it's slow hey let it flow let it go let it throw Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Amen. Amen. Sit down for a while. Femi Lazarus. I want to say two very important statements, and I want us to pay attention. As we approach a new season in the body of Christ, it is the same goal but different methods. The generation coming up must learn contact without contamination, involvement with systems. We'll have to get our hands busy. The church will go back to its place of strength because we're in the season that nations will be confused and will be needed. Darkness will cover the earth and gross darkness the people, so you've got to get yourselves ready to work with kings and leaders of nations. I'm glad that God has sent some people ahead who are doing that already. I was glad when I heard Pastor DDK mention working with different leaders of different nations, and that's why I said sometimes when the church needs to get to a destination He sent some people ahead as template so you can know it is possible. The woman at the well of Samaria thought her life was over because her marriage was bad. So when Jesus mentioned all her history, ah, she was quick to say, I know, that's my life. But something new was starting from that. What you call ruins. Jesus doesn't show up to remind us of what is bad. He comes to make the most of what is left and mend us and heal us. What the devil thought will kill you is only preparing you for your kind. Femi Lazarus. I can speak to people who are going through depression, trauma, and all that. And there's a very special anointing to bring people out of such darkness because I've been there. I know what it means not to think of a future because you think you would have killed yourself before the time comes. And I know what it means to attempt it. I know what it is to sneak in AK-47 into the house and trying to blow your own head up, and it just won't shoot. I know what it means to plug boiling ring in my armpits and switch on the light, and nepa took light. I know what it is, but the devil's worst mistake was allowing me go through it, because now I can bring millions out of it. You are emerging with an extraordinary strength. Yes, when you read Joel chapter number 2, you will think that what was said, prophecies that have gone ahead of the end time church, is a lie. That an army is coming that we've not had their kind before. Let me make— let me give illustration. Can I have 5 people, 5 brothers? Permit me to use brothers. 5, do you mind? Please come. Thank you. Come upstage here. Look at it. Can you all face that direction, straight line like this? Thank you. Yes, you come here, sir. Yeah, we can spread back a bit. Look at it. We've had generations like what you call the days of— give me a name now. Men like Ayobabalola. And you know, we like to fantasize about the old, and like, those days the man did this and all that. Then we've had the days of people like Idaosa. We've seen the days of men like Pastor Iya Adeboye. We've seen the days of men like, let's say, Bishop David Oyedepo. And then there's a generation here, and God seemed to be saying, there's something I'm going to make out of this generation that has not happened here before. And he's saying, when I look at you, I consider you an Hami, that their kind has not been before. This is either a lie or you don't know who you are. And this is the logic. Please stand back. Face back there again. When a generation finishes, the man departs, the men leave, but the man too joins with the next. To assist. And then we keep having this, and then we keep having this. Follow me, come. And then we'll keep having this. This is the generation that is the sum total of all the mantles of ages past. This is what God did. You have so much at your disposal that the devil will look at this generation, say they don't deserve any result, but there is graces, mantles backings that is beyond them. This is who you are. You are not alone. From this moment, you begin to do strange things for God. Your mind will be fruitful again. You will not be damaged in the hand of God. You will not be referred to as the generation that almost got there. If there's anything dead or dying, receive strength. Can I show you something before I leave? Just one more thing. I'm done, but just one more thing. Let's rise on our feet. Let me show you. Thank you, sirs. Genesis chapter number 45. I want to show you prophetically who you are, and this is a specific word for someone. Is that okay? If not, I'm good to go already, but this is a word for someone. Are you ready for this? Genesis 45, let's start the reading from verse 25. Let me give a background to this story. They, they took Joseph from Jacob, and something died in Jacob's mind. His best seed was snatched from him. So finally Joseph saw his brethren, and he said, go tell Jacob my father that I'm alive. And they went up out of Egypt and came to the land of Canaan unto Jacob their father. Yes. And told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and he is the governor over all the land of Egypt. And Jacob's heart fainted, for he believed them not. And they told him all the words of Joseph— this is about to be your experience— which he had said unto them. And when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived. Pay attention, look at it. And Israel said— suddenly it occurred to him, this is not Jacob anymore, my name has been changed. This is time for Israel to speak from the carcass of Jacob. And Israel said, it is Your name might have been changed to Israel, but Jacob is still speaking. You have entered the phase that there is a revival in your spirit, that Israel will speak from the ruins of Jacob. You are going back to your divine allocation from this moment Grace to conceive big things. Grace for big things. Supernatural speed. Supernatural ideas. Let your heart be expanded. Your hands are trained for battle. In the name of Jesus, it is done. In Jesus' Mighty name. Amen. Shall we just take about 2 minutes to pray? Because just as he was about finishing, the Lord just opened my eyes to see what's going on. And this is for everyone. There's anointing coming on everyone, everyone, especially the ministers here.
