HOW TO MASTER AND DEPLOY YOUR ANOINTING

Apostle Femi Lazarus teaches how to recognize and use your anointing for spiritual work. He emphasizes seeing the specific problem you're meant to solve, warns against spiritual complacency, and calls believers to deploy their gifts with precision and training.
Chapters
Welcome to an encounter with the spirit, word, and prayer through the prolific apostolic and teaching ministry of Apostle Femi Lazarus, lead pastor of Sphere of Light Church Global. It is his vision to raise God's end-time armies. God has not called you to prove you are the best.
He has not.
As a leader, you are a broker of gift and talent. So brace up for an experience. All right, um, let's turn our Bibles quickly, um, and I want us to pay very keen attention to the Book of Luke chapter number 4, um, Luke chapter number 4, um, verse 18. And maybe before we read Luke 4:18, I'd like to request that we sukkot it with Isaiah chapter number 60 from verse 1. Isaiah chapter number 60 from verse 1.
All right, all right.
Thank you. Arise Shine, for your light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. Yes, for behold, the darkness shall cover the earth and gross darkness the people, but the Lord shall arise upon you and his glory shall be seen upon you. And Gentiles, and the Gentiles shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising. So let's do a bit of teaching as we break into, you know, what God has for us. Arise, that's an instruction, right? Shine. For your light is come, and the glory of the Lord— there are 5 definite articles used in a short period. The first is the glory, then the second is who the glory belongs to, the Lord is risen upon you. The third is the darkness shall cover the earth. And then the third is gross darkness, the people, you see. And then the fifth is the Gentiles. So let's break it down. Arise, shine, for your light is come, for the glory that belongs to the Lord is now risen on you. For behold, darkness, or the darkness, shall cover the earth, and then gross darkness the people. So, um, the glory of the Lord rise on you, and while that is happening, darkness is covering the earth. As touching the glory, we were referred to the Lord. So we understand that this is the glory that belongs to the Lord. But as touching the darkness, um, we were not told who the darkness belongs to, but we're told who the darkness will affect. Are you seeing that now? All right, the darkness will— the people Then the next thing we are seeing is that the people are now Gentiles. Are you seeing that now? The darkness. So, um, it, it means that this scripture points to the fact that the word is coined from a conversation you probably may not be privy to. If the Bible is saying the darkness will cover the earth He's making it definite. So it means that at some point something has been discussed about the darkness that we didn't pay attention to. And where is that point? Let me show you that point so you can understand the background of what we are doing. Genesis chapter number 1 from verse 1 and 2 says, in the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and darkness, you see that, was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, let there be light, and there was light. So if the Bible is saying the darkness will cover the earth and gross darkness the people, it must be making reference to a darkness that is used to doing that. So, 'Arise and shine' now will no longer be a statement, it will be a warning. It will be a warning from the impact of what has happened before that must not happen again. So what happened before? In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth, and the earth was without form and void. So the nature of this darkness is to denature anyone it lands on. The nature of this darkness is to— because the word used there is tobo. Shapeless, formless. That anywhere this darkness is operating, it doesn't matter what is structured there, it becomes structureless. So, um, have you ever seen where, um, they switch on the light and the light is saying, ah, I can't go, it's too dark? Arise and shine means break into the territory of darkness. Okay, because if we permit this personality again, there's going to be chaos. And you, you must understand that, um, the only solution there is to darkness is light. That's the only solution. So it means that God is setting you apart for an assignment that is definite. You cannot afford not to shine. The life of the people will bear the brunt of your failure to shine. Shining here doesn't mean just the ability to show up. It is the ability to manifest, because you can show up and not manifest. You see that now? You can show up and not manifest. So say loud and clear, arise! Come on, say it again. Say arise, shine!
Okay, say like this: I will arise and shine, for my light is come, and the glory of the Lord—
say it loud and clear— and the glory of the Lord is risen upon me.
Verse 2 now: For behold, the darkness will cover the earth and gross darkness the people. But the Lord shall arise upon me, and his glory shall be seen upon me.
So anywhere the glory is, people see it. There can't be glory and people won't see it. How many of you have played games before? All these fighting games on phones, you know, when Android first came out, maybe in the days of, uh, all right, fighting games. Have you have done that? Let me see your hands up. Male or female? Okay, that was how you were easing boredom then. Okay, you are welcome. Now there are times that you will have to play to some level to win some kind of weapon that makes defeating the enemy easier. There are special things in the arsenal of God that you will not know. There are packages available to make your sojourn easier. One of such package is glory. Um, you may have a message But it is important that there is a package that God placed on the life of Joshua. God said, this day will I begin to magnify you. Are you with me? Meaning that you can say the same things but receive different ways. There's another package that can be added to the life of a man, which is the package of honor. That God decided. That's also a dimension of magnifying a man. He can place it on you. But there's a package also, which is the package of influence, that you will say the same thing but it will travel further. That there is no tongue, no language where your voice will not be heard. So these packages here and there makes our operations easier. Um, when you speak from the realm of glory The Gentiles will react, and the reason why there'll be a reaction is because gross darkness is covering them, and they can react with scriptures, but it is from darkened counsel. Are you with me? Yes, sir. Another dimension that is part of the package that you can reach out for Um, let's go to Revelation 5, all right? Because sometimes it's not enough that you say these things, you have to show the people. Are you with me? Turn your Bibles quickly to the book of Revelation chapter number 5. Revelation 5, let's start the reading from Verse 9, Revelation 5:9. And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book and to open the seals thereof, for thou wast slain and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood, and so out of every kindred and tongue and people and nation. Verse 10 now, quickly. And hast made us unto God kings and what?
Priests.
And we shall reign on the earth. 11, quickly. And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders. And the number of them was 10,000 times 10,000 and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power. That's the package. To receive riches, that's a package. To receive wisdom, that's a package. To receive strength, that's a package. To receive honor, that's a package. To receive glory, that's a package. To receive blessing, that's a package. If you embrace the package of power and neglect the package of honor, you will be powerful, but the power will have jurisdiction and limitations. You will not cover as you should cover. But there's also a package which is the package of riches. And I understand that because of the pain in the heart of many people, particularly young people, And the, um, the possibility of encounters with charlatans. Um, people don't want to believe that it is possible for the hand of God to prosper a man. Well, it is, it is. Some of the greatest blessings I've received in my life are from people I've never met that God told, go and honor my servant. Did I work for it? What I want to teach you today is how to master and deploy your anointing. Okay, that's what I want to teach you. Tomorrow I'll teach you how to grow in your anointing. So I have to lay this foundation. Where do we start from? Are you with me?
Are you sure? Huh?
Let's read this again. Say with a loud voice, what is the Lamb that was slain to receive what?
Power.
And what riches. And what? Now hold on, are you aware that Wisdom is not necessarily from the multitude of books you have read. You can enter a flow. It can be imparted, and by one breath of the Spirit, the way you see life changes. It's the same way, um, who has a colored glass? A colored glass. Quickly, any dark shade or something? Dark shade, anybody? Okay, come, come, come with your dark shade. Okay, anyone here? Now this is still transparent. So this is a dark shade. Who is the owner of this dark shade? You are the owner? All right, come. When you wear this dark shade, do you have to read any book about how to see a dark environment dark for you to see dark? The dark shade comes with the natural attribute to change the color of environment. In the same way, the impartation of wisdom can alter your perception of reality. It can. So when you read books, it is to be learned. As a matter of fact, you will not see the marrows in the bones of the book until this is on you.
You—
somebody who has that spirit will read the book and see something and recommend the same book and be worried as to why you are not seeing it. That thing is not there. Are you aware that there can be somebody who is fasting 40 days and yet not walking in power? It is one thing to generate, it's another thing to manifest. The fervent and effectual prayer of the righteous man makes tremendous power available. It is available the same way there can be light, but you are not plugging anything in. There are many believers who have available power, but they don't have manifested power. How is power manifested? You deploy. In a direction. How do you blame something for not changing when you didn't deploy power in that direction? Let me explain. Eh, eh, I don't know why I'm not working in this, this dimension. Have you deployed? You want it to work without working it.
It's called walking off miracles.
The way you walk mathematics, walk it. Okay, let me leave you. Okay, please be seated. Riches, let's jump that one. Okay, let's jump it. Yes, because, um, there are two kinds of children church. First is for the babies, but the second one is the one he instructed Peter to have. Feed my lambs. That's also a children church, but those are children in adult church. Okay, so every church— let me just tell the pastor— every church that will grow must have those children church, the one for the nepios, babes, babies with socking, feeder, and all that. But don't assume that once you have that one that you are done. You also have another children church and adult church. It's a mixture of the lamb and the sheep. Okay, so to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength, strength. Femi Lazarus. I saw a video, um, yesterday of a building that was built somewhere, and then the building collapsed. It was falling. It got to a point it stood. Okay, um, maybe a pillar or two was holding it. That thing that keeps it standing is the part where there is strength. The rest collapsed because there was no what? Reinforcement. No strength. Strength is the ability to stand for long. 2 Corinthians— don't bother showing, I'll just quote it out. 2 Corinthians 4 from verse 1 and 2 say, seeing therefore we have this ministry, having received mercy, we faint not. Okay, and honor— honor is not— let me tell you, honor is not the ability to tell people to respect you. Honor comes as a result of God approving you. And telling the people, you must approve whom I've approved. So when he says, this is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased, hear him. You don't beg for honor, God pours it on you. And People, it is difficult. Let me explain. If let's assume that somebody becomes very, very vile to dishonor a man that God has honored, you will be judged. It's just a matter of when you'll be judged. And that's one of the things that is lacking in this generation. The devil is trying his best to make sure he convince believers that nobody is to be honored. He is, he is fighting it because once you perceive the reality of a person wrong, you perceive their message wrongly. And that's why, listen to what I'm about to tell you now. Are you following what I'm saying? Are you sure? If you, if you are sure you want to be blessed by a source consistently, avoid familiarity. One of my boys was asking me, and he said, Apostle, how do you deal with the issue of over-familiarity in ministry? And I told him, familiarity is actually a problem for a man who is stagnant in grace. You can't get familiar with what is moving. You can't. So you want to deal with the issue of familiarity? Keep growing, keep growing, keep growing. The moment you become still, dishonor will catch up with you. It will, it will meet you like bandit. I know people honor you and they love what God is doing through you. The only way for that to continue is that you prioritize the God, not the people. They are only there because God is moving. Samson got up and knew not that God has left him, huh? And that was the day the ministry ended. You will not know what it means for God to leave a man. Say the amen loud enough. Say Say the amen loud and clear enough. You won't fail God, o. You won't fail God. So we have a very important assignment because I don't know when next I'm going to be with you again.
So, all right.
Say loud and clear, we have a definite assignment. We have a very serious work.
Hey, how many of you have looked around before, you just look at things happening and it occurred to you, we have work?
Is there anyone like that? Now, now let me say this to you.
One of—
if it has never occurred to you that you will have work, it's because you have not been enrolled among the soldiers of the last days. The moment you become enrolled, your burden will shift. One of the ways you know a new area of assignment is that your burden will rise in that direction. You might be a Christian who the face that you are now is the face of a beneficiary. That's the Second Children's Church. You benefit from the labor of others. Let them pray, fast, cover you, which is good. You will benefit from— and that's why Paul was angry with the Corinthians. At the time you ought to be teachers.
See, at— when we—
when Look at the timetable of God for your life and for your ministry. What you actually ought to be now is what? A teacher. Because Paul suffered a lot from spiritual babies. He was telling the Galatians now that they helped the house. As long as he's a child, differeth him nothing from who? A servant, though he be Lord of all, but is made subject to tutors and teachers till he comes of age. The moment you begin to grow from just being a Christian who has confessed Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you, you will begin to see the work. You begin to see the work. You begin to see the work. Now listen to this. The reason why what you are doing will not grow is because you desire a dimension without seeing the work. Once you see the work, your hunger will grow and your body will shift. You cannot enter the fullness of your calling until you have seen the great work that needs to be done. Give me Luke chapter number 10 from verse 1 and 2. Luke 10 from verse 1 and 2. Luke chapter number 10 from verse 1 and 2. Look at it. And after these things, the Lord appointed 70 also and sent them two and two before his face into every city. And let me say this to you, the days— let me put this in correct perspective. Look up, everybody. The era where pastors raise church members has changed. When the battle is at your gate, everybody who has a hand must be trained to hold the sword. Everybody who has a hand must be trained to hold the sword. The problem you have is that you have concluded in your heart that some cannot fight and they will not fight. At least not under you, till God finds another captain that will believe in them. The smallest amongst us must be as mighty as David, because the battle is fierce now. You see, the Sarah that you left at home, when you go to meet God on the mountain, Is the Sarah that will tell you that Ega is fine. Don't grow alone, they will weigh you down.
The Lord appointed 70 also and sent them two by two. Everyone who sits in church must know how to preach. Everyone, you must know the gospel, you must know how to win souls. You have not been redeemed to be a benchwork woman. You have been redeemed to go therefore into all nations. It's a calling we all have.
You don't need confirmation to do that one. Scripture is clear. Go ye therefore. Send them two and two before his face into every city and every place whither he himself will come. Verse 2 now. Therefore he said unto them, the harvest is fully great.
Listen to this.
Any city you step into and do not see the harvest that is great, you will not enter the field. You, you, you, you must first see it.
Ah, there's work, there's work, there's work. Once you begin to see the work, God will give the one who has seen the work the requirement to do the work. That is the secret. Oh, there's work, there's work in Abeokuta, there's work in Lagos. There's work in Abuja. The—
listen to me, the one who sees the work is the one that God will send to the harvest. You, you, you cannot complain that things are not there while you are not seeing the work.
There's work.
You enter the territory, you see how far the devil has gone.
That, that's what pushes contention. Ah, there's work here. Look at the way they are thinking. Look at the way they are reasoning. Look at the way they are doing things. Look how far behind. Why are men not rising? When you understand this, you understand traveling ministry is not prestige. Going from nation to nation is not prestige. It is work. It is work.
Oh, you know, people want some dimensions without wanting the work.
You must see the work.
Once you see the aspect of the work, that is the aspect of your anointing.
You will only see what you have been anointed to solve.
You will see it. You will see it. That which you have been anointed to solve, you will see it. You will see it. You will see it. You see, it's gonna take sleep from your eyes. It will, it will take pleasure from your mind.
You will see it.
Please sit down for a while. You, you see it.
You will see it. You see it.
If you have not been seeing the harvest, it's because you have, you have, you have not responded to the voice to be sent. The moment you begin to see it, social media for you can't be just another tool for fun. You are seeing work. You are seeing work. You are seeing work everywhere. If a doctor enters a place where people are sick and all that, it doesn't matter what the color of their clothes is, he's seeing their conditions.
You must see it.
Jesus looked round about and said, the harvest is truly great, but laborers are few. Why are they few? Because they've not seen the harvest. Every member must become strong. Every member must become strong. The curriculum for the church has changed. Christ, because we are in the last days of the last days. And if Jesus said the laborers are few, we must beat our pruning forks into spears. That is, men who have been gardeners will have to rebeat those things and shape it to be spears, instrument of war. I see work. I see work in Belgium. I see work in Canada. I see work in Australia. I see work in Kano. I see work in Kaduna.
I see work in Enugu. I see work, work, work, work, work, work, work.
You, you cannot partner with the Lord of the Harvest if you have not seen the work that is great work.
Work.
That's the call that is on us in the last days. Um, you see, the devil wants to make it so that the last idol man will worship himself. 2 Timothy chapter number 3, let's start reading from verse 1. 2 Timothy 3, let's start from verse 1. 2 Timothy 3:1. Sai ka paa ai, la fili ene ke paa ai. This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. Men shall be lovers of their own selves. That's the first indices. That's the first indices. Nobody wants to represent the kingdom as an ambassador. They want to love themselves. Let's just reduce it a bit. They want to love themselves. And one of the first decision you must have made to be a soldier is that I'm ready to be carried back on my shield than to die on my bed. In those days, maybe this is going to be a deliverance as an introduction. To that subject. In those days, particularly in some cultures, when the king gives birth to a son, the prince will be given certain tasks to maybe kill some things and defeat certain things and bring proof. Some might be told to bring the head of a wolf and all those things, and the prince will be trusted into the wild. And the idea is he may die, but the design is not for him to die. When you begin to mount at certain altitude of influence, you will confront the wild principalities, powers that are operating in those spheres. You, you're— they will pay attention to you. And that's the point you get to where 20 highly anointed people can begin to see visions that you died. And you must break through that cloud where death exists, because you can actually die. It's a reality of the altitude you are flying. So you will now have to master what key do we deploy to break through the snare of death. So when David said, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I, I will not be afraid, it was an altitude. The goal is for you to mature. And learn. When you are at war, the bullets that fly, they are not film trick, they are real bullets and they can kill you. So you must learn the art of survival. So in that place is when you learn that when you are in the war front— are you with me? And there's offense in your heart, you are too exposed. So certain things now becomes necessity. If not, they will clear you. One of such is love work. You now have to go and learn. If I can add something, like I said, I'm careful. That's when you understand that, um, there are certain things that only respect the voices higher than yours. Those who don't believe in covering, at certain altitude you will. Oh, you will, you will, you will. Omade o de bi e o le o ba. You will, you will. No, it's not you will. Even you will give yourself brain.
I don't care about anything.
When you get to where it gets to, you know that there are giants. When I stood up and I said I suck the activity of demons kilometers away, You thought it was an empty statement. It is those who are in the kingdom of darkness that will tell you they had. Ah, shout it loud and clear: there's work!
There's work!
Say it again loud and clear: we have work to do!
We have work to do! Say it again. We have work.
I want the media to get me that scripture. Um, Luke chapter number 2. A cry was heard in Ramah. A cry, a cry, a cry was heard in Ramah. Rachel weeping for her children, for they are no more. A cry, a cry, a cry, a cry. That was what happened. Listen, this thing is taking me to another dimension. That was what happened when there was an announcement in the spirit realm that the man-child Jesus— take him and run. But they were the only ones who heard the announcement, because one of the trainings that you need in the kingdom is to be trained to hear sounds. Is to be trained to hear alarms, is to be trained to respond to signals. Anybody who is a police officer or military will tell you that information are called signals. They'll say they've given them a signal, huh? Now look at it. In Rama there was a voice heard, lamentation and weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children and would not be comforted because they are not Who was Rachel weeping for? Children. They are the first victims. Children, children, they are the first victims. We must, we must, we must make sure that as they enter our churches as children, they mature.
Enter as children, they mature. Enter as children, they mature. Enter as children, they mature. Give milk, milk, grow them up, change it to meat.
Then bring strong bones. And one of the fastest ways for children to mature is training. Training.
You, you must be interested in more than sitting. To be trained is to be re-educated. And in training, you'll be told what to do. Failure to recognize authority is to remain a perpetual child.
When he went to the house of the potter and he saw that the clay was mud in the hands, There are 5 fingers, um, 5 fingers that the clay was not responding to. 5 ministry offices, ah, 5. You must respond to the ministry gift placed over you. If not, you'll be a clay that is mad in the hand. Sit down for a while. And what happened when the clay is not responding to the potter is that the The originality of the design will be changed many times over. The intentions— if we're going to make an igu and the clay keeps breaking, you, you change to a small bird. If it breaks again, you change.
You, you— at the end of the day, it just becomes so effort is not wasted.
You must cooperate.
God will use men to build you.
You must respond. In every military camp, there are captains, there are generals, there are leaders. You must respond. You must respond to the clarion call. You—
if you—
the, the proof that you love yourself is your failure to respond. Men shall be lovers of their own selves more than lovers of God.
God.
Are you with me? Say, Lord, I yield to you. Say it again. Lord, I yield. Okay, I'm going to get to a junction tonight. I'll make sure I get there. Say it again. Lord, I yield. I submit to what you are doing. I respond. So I will show you on Tuesday. That, um, the— I gave the illustration of A is equal to B is equal to C is equal to D, right? Um, when the servant of Abraham prayed that let the girl that will feed me and my camel with water be the one you have chosen for your It is not even that day that you fail the test. It is from the day you have failed to learn it. So there are things that you will not be useful for, not just when you come face to face with them, from the moment you have failed to acquire the dimension needed to solve them. Um, let me just— I'll come back there. All right, say it again.
Lord, I yield. Say it again. Lord, I yield.
I yield.
Are you with me?
So we, we need to raise believers who are battle ready. Is there anyone here who is battle ready? Is there anyone here who is ready to respond to the call of God. If you want to say I'm a child, your question has been answered. Say not I'm a child. Before you were formed, I found you and I ordained you a prophet. So if you want to say, eh, eh, how shall these things be, it's also been answered. The Holy Ghost will overshadow you. Eh, are you asleep, my friend? Are you with me? Are you sure? Okay. Those of you at the back, are you asleep? Tell your neighbor, wake up, wake up, wake up.
Tell your neighbor, wake up, wake up, wake up.
Is there anyone here saying, I see the work? I see the work that needs to be done. I was asking one of my boys who came from Belgium, and I said, everybody I see on the street of London, 8 out of 10, they are— I said, there's plenty shango here, girls, boys. This is not cold, this is a spirit. If it is cold, you can drink hot coffee. And the generation are so degenerated that somebody will ask you that, where is smoking a sin? The goalpost is shifting.
Some—
somebody posted— one of my boys posted one of my videos where I was speaking against polygamy, and somebody replied and said, don't confuse people, there's no way God designed man biologically for one woman. And when I check the profile of the person, he's a pastor. There's work not just among people. But we have been able to churn out a form of clergy, not well cooked, not well taught, not well built, not well trained in the science of doctrine. And we have pushed them out with one dream and one vision. And they are doing a very good bad job. They are doing their dangerous job brilliantly. You know, the danger of falsehood among the clergy is that they will contaminate the perception of the rest. If you suddenly hear that a pastor is sleeping with the members, um, it becomes an opportunity for the devil to say, that's how they are. So if you are not doing well and you are getting promotion, he wants to use to corrupt the entire lump. He's fattening you up to the point where your fall will be loud. There's work, there's work on campuses, there's work in your territory, there's work among pastors, there's work. Oh yes, there's work. And it's such that when you begin to see this work and engage in it, you have no room for luxury. It took David staying back at the time kings go to battle to see Bathsheba? When others have gone to work and you are staying back, you will be engaged. The, the, the devil can keep men busy. It will— are you with me? It will keep you busy with your mobile phone in the dark for 15 years. And it will arrest you from doing the work of your calling. You won't be able to— the, the point where you should generate the energy, where you should be able to stand, you have spent that time and you can't mature. So when we begin to speak wisdom among those that are mature, the one who is not given to the process might have position, he will speak with darkened counsel. Unfortunately so, we have made the yardstick for position based on how long a person has stayed in church, and you forget that the madman who stays the longest in psychiatric hospital is the one to be feared. It's not how far, it's how well. How are you responding to treatment. There's a way you stay long in the hospital, you will know drugs like doctors, but you are not a doctor, you're a patient. Am I correct?
Yes, sir.
My fear is that we don't get to the point in the body of Christ where we have more managers than pastors who manage attendance, tithe, offering, and the people are not great. The testimony of your pastoral work is that pastors rise under you.
Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
If you pastor people for 3 years, 4, 5 years, we can't find vessels that can stand, you have failed. How many years did David stay in Adullam that the men under him became mighty men? Did Davidic— listen, are you with me? I want the media to get me Ezekiel chapter number 34, all right, where God was speaking about David. He said, I will bring a shepherd, David my servant. He used David as a testimony of shepherd, who a shepherd is supposed to be. So the Davidic anointing is a pastoral over grace. It's a what? Yes, it's Ezekiel 34. Go to— all right. And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David, and he shall be their what? Shepherd. Yes, continue. And I the Lord will be their God, and my servant David a prince amongst them. I the Lord have spoken it. Bless God for church attendants, but what is the sending strength? It's not sitting capacity. What is the sending strength? And we have 1,500. How many are sendable? Nothing can be more painful, like having an army of babies. Army of babies. Ephesians chapter number 4. Is it Ephesians 4:14? Now give me, um, Ephesians 4:14. That we henceforth be no more what? Children, tossed to and fro and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by sleight of men. You know the version I like. Is it Message now or Amplified? No prolonging fusses amongst us. Quickly. Do they have other translations? Ah, okay, thank you. No prolonging fusses amongst us, please. Will not tolerate babes in the wood, small children who are easy mark for impostors. Let me tell you what I've told you what this means. If a congregation is getting it right and the devil wants to break in, he needs a child. The entry point of the devil to contaminate your work is those who have failed to grow, and that's why you don't leave any man behind. Are you with me? So there is work, it's getting Daka. Certain thought process has been allowed for so long because sons are not declaring their sonship. People are not rising in the capacity they should rise. Some are rising, but they are not seeing the big picture.
It looks as though something has held them bound not to see The big picture.
Um, your anointing, um, is going to first enable you to see the problem it is created to solve. So you are likely going to see in the direction of your anointing. You are likely going to see in direction of your what? Anointing. You are going to see in direction of your anointing. Because that's, that's, that is that thing moving you. That's, that's what he wants to do. That's, that's what the anointing changes. The structure of the anointed, it changes his hunger, his persuasion.
It changes— are you with me?
You, you can misunderstand a man when his anointing is speaking. The man all by himself is cool. But when the anointing begins to speak, it may sound offensive. That, that thing— the reason we all are not seeing the same, because we are not anointed for the same thing. So a man's anointing will open his eyes to see, and what he's seen becomes his obsession, his burden. He wants to take it down. David could see Goliath because he was anointed to take him down. So the question is, what have you been seeing? What, what is the burden of your heart?
If—
listen, if you notice that you don't have any, it is also an invitation to say— first, to announce to you that something is wrong. Secondly, to say, open my eyes that I may see. Are you with me? So let me ask you a question. When we all get into territories, we'll see differently. Are you with me? I remember my friend, one of my friends called me. He called me and another friend. And he said he wants us to pray for this mama. He said because he said she's sick, said doesn't want to go into the details, that we just pray. So we close our eyes. Then that my friend, the other person that was with me, said, he said, I'm seeing a dark cloud of demons forming around your stomach. Then say, Mama, what was happening around your stomach? They didn't tell us. Then that was when they opened up that she actually had colon cancer. He saw it. Um, let me— Kafa hai la pan dekredi ko sa. Listen, listen, listen. Let me bring you into this understanding. If you, if you want to set up an environment and you bring an interior deco The interior deco will see what this space can become and how it can be managed. And by the time the fellow is done doing that work, you'll be amazed that this space can be handled this way. Huh? In the same way, if you claim to be a believer and you claim to be a vessel, that is the same way you must function with precision in the area of your anointing. There is no such that I was able to deploy today, but I was able to deploy yesterday. Uh, you, you must come to the point of precision that even if they wake you from sleep, your anointing speaks. Are you with me? Imagine if the doctors that treat you say once in a while I forget how to give injection. Imagine if the nurses that comes to set drip, they ask you, do you know what, where your vein is? I can't— I understand there are times that veins collapse, okay? Thank God we have doctors here. But every time doctor is saying, ah, this is your temperature, what does that mean? You were on. That's how you sound when you are a prophet but you can't hear the alarm. You can't warn the people. You don't know what God is saying. You don't know how to deploy in the core of your anointing. You, you are not— you have not entered into precision and mastery. You have not entered into the flow. You have not You have not handled. We can become sophisticatedly precise that if you take this man to 10 meetings, it will only be greater and greater and greater and greater and greater. There is no better yesterday. When you get to that point, there's none of your messages that is testing the mic. You have handled it. It can be precise. I was ministering in Leicester last week, and as I was about to drop the mic, the Lord showed me there's a woman here whose womb is rotting. This is not the point. I say there's somebody here And said, no, no, except the person didn't come out. There's actually somebody there. And, and she came out and she began to describe it. And his one word, you are healed. Jesus did not get to the man at the pool of Bethesda and say, ah, what do we do now? Pick your bed, go. Precision, precision, precision. 'Pick your bed, go.' A man with a withered hand, 'Stretch out your hands.' It's not negotiation, it's precise. You must labor to enter into mastery of your anointing. You must labor. Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down. I know it's difficult to sit down for some of you. Some of you, you are told to preach for 20 minutes. The first 10 minutes, you have exhausted all the revelation you gather on social media, and the remaining 10 minutes is blabbing. You, you have, you have not become a custodian. You have not listened to what I'm saying. I mean, Dr. Toby, come now. He's a pastor, he's also a doctor. All right, if I show pictures of different conditions from infections to different con— he's supposed to be able, he will be able to pick it that this is this. You wonder why a doctor can do variety of things across board but you can only teach one thing, and that one thing you don't even know so much. You only gathered a few things here and there. The one that somebody said in your room and it is so deep, you shouted, mm, and you made the decision in your mind that whenever I'm preaching, I will tender this card. And you tender the card and notice that the reaction is not the same because you don't have key to it. Photocopy and original are not the same. You didn't grow into it, you lifted it. You enter deep to contain. When we are absorbing this light, sometimes we are moving about, kabola, aikaba, selimande, likopa, selikobrai. People ask me, how come when you teach the Bible, we see it differently? Read, study, become a custodian, labor. I was talking to Pastor Debbie when we're coming. I need certain author's books. Get me all the books he's ever written. He wrote books on businesses. Get me. Among those I'm teaching, there are businessmen. When I read and interpret in light of the scripture, even the author will wonder and will not know I pick it from there. How can you know so little about your calling?
How? How?
No, it's a question. How can you know so little about your calling? What do you see when you look around? What do you see? Thank you, sir. What do you see when you move to territories and God say move to this place?
When you move around, what do you see? Your anointing will give you perspective.
When the hand of God came upon Ezekiel, Ezekiel 37 from verse 1, give me that scripture. From verse 1 now, from verse 1. And the hand of the Lord was upon me and carried me out in the spirit of the Lord and set me down in the midst of the valley, which was full of bones, and caused me to pass around by them and about them. And behold— so because that is what the hand is there for, you could see them, you could see them say, ah, be old. There were very many in an open valley and they were very dry. So a man can come in front of you and he's a billionaire and just joined the church. You are seeing him, you have money, but he's a dry bone. We, we, you are not just doing, ah, this guy is rich. No, no, no, we are seeing how can we help you become a living soul. That something is wrong.
What do you see?
Sit down for a while. What do you see? The anointing will open your eyes differently. It will, it will show you. God began to ask him, can, can these bones live? Can these bones live? Can these bones live? Say loud and clear, I see, I see, I see. Say it, say it. I see, I see, I see, I see, I see. In the area of my calling, I see, I see, Oh! I see— I see— Aika fahai neman dike silomahi kavalde ika mofe ze ilaman belozi friend de rooster? I see— I see— I see— I see— I see— I see— I see— I see— I see!
Le ikopon ve ica man veli zopa baikopon ve ile ikoba seiloman be ika bandeliku pa ayirenon pele aka eku ologeyekwaraaayaka! I see the harvest. I see the end time harvest. I see the work that needs to be done. Oh, I see, I see, I see, I see. I see. How can you walk when you don't know the ways of the wind? How can you run?
I see, I see, I see, I see. Oh yes, I see.
Springing everything in obedience to Christ, extending everything in obedience to Christ.
In Jesus' mighty name we are praying. Say the amen loud enough. In Jesus' mighty name we're praying. Sit down for a while. Acts of the Apostles, chapter number 3, from verse 1. Acts chapter number 3 from verse 1, talking about precision. Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the night hour. And a certain man, lame from his mother's womb, was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful. To ask alms of them that entered into the temple. Who, seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked for what?
Alms.
And Peter, what did he do? He saw it, he saw it, he saw it, he saw it, ah, he saw it. Fastening his eyes upon him, with John said, 'Look on us.' Verse 5: And he gave heed to them, expecting to receive something of them. Yes. Then Peter said, 'Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have pastors such as I have. Your people must know such as you have. It's very important. Such as I have. Um, I have this dimension. You, you must echo what you have. That's the way you grow in it. You must, you must keep repeating it. Such as I have. Um, I have this. Such as I have. I'm aware. I'm aware that it doesn't matter how dead an atmosphere is, when I step in, the glory will step in.
I'm aware.
It's not pride. I'm aware. You must be, because you can't enter fully without knowing.
I'm aware.
Sit down for a while. Sit down and say, such as I have. Such as I have. I'm aware, I'm aware, I know what I have. I was calling attention to something I saw that, that played in the open. Saw it on social media. This man called Prophet Ezekiel of CAC, this lady had a concert, he went there to pray for her, and in the course of the He held her hands and he said, 'Mofao lemaje mo elowo.' I hand you over to the Covenant Behind Songs. When you say a man is witty, he's witty not just because he's anointed, but because he knows it.
Yes, sir. Femi Lazarus.
Let me tell you something. One time, several people started calling me, we see the same vision, we see the same vision, see the same vision. The more I was praying The more the consciousness was occurring, ah, what is this? I will lock myself up and cry. Ah, you have to know something. One night I said, God, I have a place by you. There's something you told me that when the matter gets to where it gets to, I should knock this door. And I said, don't forget that covenant between us. Instantly, the siege lifted. Okay, you know, when it gets to where it gets to, you will understand the significance of certain things. Ah, what is that thing that you know that even in your sleep you know it? I have this dimension. When you get to that point as a worshipper where you know that I have the grace to erode atmospheres. You will no longer test the mic. I say this with all humility and under the covenant of mercy. Till Jesus comes, every message I preach will be valid. There's no more testing the mic. That even if it is in 15 minutes, it will matter in the next 10,000 years. God taught me one day how to teach timeless messages, but that's not the time. Say it again: such as I have. What do you have? What do you have? Can you write down your dimensions that you know you have? Write it down. Let's face the reality together. Come on, write it down, write it down. Be sure, write down. I have this. I have it. The power of the Holy Ghost. The power of the Holy Ghost. The power of the Holy Ghost. What do you have? What do you have? What has God— what have you received that is for your children's children. When Jacob said, gather yourselves, you sons of Jacob, he said that I may tell you what will befall you on the last days.
He—
that's not guesswork, huh? What do you have? Then the next question is, what don't you have that you know is needed? You must write it down. You know it's needed, but you know— because one of the things that informs your pursuit is to know what you don't have but is needed. Aye ka bala te ka Femi Lazarus, si lo bai. What don't you have but you know is needed? Write them now. Keep writing. When I enter that prophetic flow, I, I know what triggers it. So no matter how tush you are, when I'm speaking from that mantle, your tushness change nothing. I will say this in Yoruba, I won't interpret, let your neighbor interpret. Amen. Sit down. Lift your hands where you are seated. Um, I want to ask God two things. One, that what people have The reality of it will overwhelm you now.
You—
there's— yes, there's the anointing of it. It's going to saturate. That's the first thing. So I stretch my hands towards this house, from my right to the middle to the back. Let the anointing of the Holy Ghost race across this place now. Holy Ghost! Bring them out.
Let the overwhelming reality—
it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's— begin to burst out.
Break open, break, break open. Let the Psalmist dimension, such that can pipe the activity of heaven and bring to the earth. Let the operations of prophetic giftings such as have been hanging for a while, all manifestations of it will rout you out. Kabane tekeba. Let the spirit of wisdom in an overwhelming way break open. Kabelonpa.
Femi Lazarus.
Femi Lazarus.
Salamam, Belletich. Mente kerosene. Ayla kabraha vini ike beni. Sekipai. Thank you, Lord. Sit down for a Wow, just leave those under the anointing. Oh yes. Sit down, those of you here. Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny.
At this season, those who have any part in prophetic ministry, whether singers, prophets, There's going to be a reaction in that office now. Aka ba ne mon pa?
C'est Calama, Femi Lazarus. Say hey, hey, hey.
Let the fountains of the deep break open, break open.
Sai ka bana namu. Sai wakai, lateru se.
Sai kate.
In Jesus' name we pray. Sit down as I start tidying up. Now, I asked you to write two things. The ones that you don't have. You wrote them? All right, stretch out your hand. As many as are here that are ready and trusting God for that new dimension, as I speak By the rod of power, from my right to the back, to the front, everywhere. Kneeling down doesn't exempt you from receiving. So I ask that there's a surge of wave of power carrying that dimension.
Move now!
Now let there be distribution now! Now, Femi Lazarus! Eblem, eblem, eblem, eblem, eblem, eblem.
There's somebody here, your voice will vibrate throughout even the cadence of darkness. It gives you the dimension of a voice that must be heard and an operation of expansion by the Spirit.
We summon the surge of those dimensions that they flow on you like a wave.
You carry the authority of the Spirit. Authority, authority, authority, authority. The cloak of it. Authority, authority, surge.
That when you Speak, systems will respond. Authority by the Spirit.
Say, and there arose Deborah, a mother in Israel. Deborah, a mother in Israel, wife of Lapidoth, a prophetess. Multidimensional manifestations of grace. We search it We search it and rout it out, rout it out by the Spirit. Let there be destruction.
Tribution for the work ahead, for that which must be done in this season, for that which must be done. Let the army that must rise, rise. Let them take their place in the scheme of God's operation. Let there be a resurgence of graces, graces, graces. Graces, graces, graces.
You have in a measure, it's time to come into the fullness. You have in a measure, it's time to come in the fullness, in the fullness, in the fullness, in the fullness of it, in the fullness of it.
Um, um. Pastors, heads of ministries, please come. It's time to release blessings. Resurgence. You, you are traveling back with new surge of the Spirit, such as you have. You have it. You have it. One of the first thing God is releasing is the release of wave, a new consciousness to deploy in the area of your calling. It's a new consciousness to deploy. Help him. It's a new consciousness, my friend. It's a new— what you have, you, you think it's just about prayer, but it's priesthood, it's the prophetic. It's a new consciousness. It's a new consciousness of the spirit. It's a new wave, man of God. Now when you speak It will be heard. It's a new wave. It's a new wave such as he has placed upon you for the healings of nations. It's a new wave of the spirit. Hold them, please. It's a new wave. It's a surge of the spirit, an apostolic surge. It's a new wave. It's a new wave. It's a new wave, an awareness in your heart. Suddenly nothing is small in your mind and anymore. It's a resurgence of the Spirit, a wave of the Spirit. I watched you ministering recently, and the Lord said it's time to step up. Now you become a voice that'll be reckoned with, a force to be known. You will audaciously do things you did not think you can do by the wave of the Spirit. It is the year to come into the fullness of that grace and that anointing of the Spirit. By the Spirit of the Lord, and his hand shall rest upon you. By his Spirit, by his Spirit, grace. Thank you, Lord. We bless your holy name. Thank you, Father. We bless your holy name, and we thank you for doing that which only you can do. I honor you. Let the impact of this distribution not leave leave this territory. Let it be carried for long. That those who have been struggling with prayer, as you step out tonight, it becomes your possibility. Thank you, Father. Please bear your feet as you have been found and go back to your seat. We bless your holy name.
