KANO APOSTOLIC MEETING || DAY 3 - MORNING || FRIDAY 22ND NOV. 2024

The video records the third day morning session of the Kano Apostolic Meeting, led primarily by Apostle Femi Lazarus and Pastor Isaac Oyedepo, with worship led by Moses Achoo. The gathering opens with prayers for the sick, urging participants to bring cases of illness, surgery aftermath, cancer, and deafness for divine healing. The hosts honor the PFN Youth President and other leaders, expressing gratitude for their presence. A central theme emerges: a prophetic commissioning called "Fan Into Flame," centered on the "consuming fire" of the Holy Spirit. The speakers explain that before a believer can be commissioned for new ministry phases, a purging must occur—removing fear, complacency, spiritual blindness, and other hindrances. Biblical passages (Luke 19, Hebrews 12:29, Matthew 3:11‑12, Joshua 1) are cited to illustrate the fire’s purpose. The session includes extended worship and spontaneous prophetic song, with Moses Achoo repeatedly declaring that all worship is "all about Jesus" and urging the crowd to lift hands, speak in tongues, and pray. Pastor Isaac emphasizes specific, persistent prayer, fasting, and the need for consistency, warning against spiritual lethargy. The speakers announce a forthcoming deployment of several attendees to various nations, mentioning a 2025 timeline, and describe a future mantle of "territorial grace" that will open nations for the gospel. They also promote Apostle Lazarus’s books and solicit offerings. Throughout, the tone is fervent, prophetic, and exhortative, aiming to mobilize the audience for healing, spiritual empowerment, and global missionary assignment.
Chapters
are manifesting is babyish. At least become a baby before you grow. Manifest it. My prayer is that God will pour out the spirit of prayer, that you will shut down the distraction in the air to seek God for ways. Please get up on your feet. Let's give Jesus a big hand. Amen. Apostle Lawal's flight was supposed to be this afternoon, but we canceled it before he even came so that all of us will live together tomorrow. We are going to create room for prayers for the sick. And I want to say this: all those who are connected online, you have people who are sick, get them to tune in tonight. These things are not— I know you were here last year and saw the miracles.
I saw the miracles.
Much more God will do. Much more God will do. You have someone who is sick, you've, you've been hearing the case of cancer repeatedly. It's not terminal, it is what you call it. Cases, deafness, whatever it is. I've been seeing case of surgeries, all right, that the fellow is suffering from the aftermath effect of the surgery. All right, bring them. Whether online or on site, the power of God is available to heal. If you have been blessed, give Jesus a big hand of praise.
Amen.
Please be seated in a moment. All right, I want to bring up the PFN Youth President for Kano State in a minute just to bring us a word of greeting. Help me honor him as he makes his way to the podium. Please clap, honor this man of God for us. Thank you so much.
Praise God.
Hallelujah. It's a word of greeting. Thank you so much, Apostle. Thank you so much for coming into Kano with this grace and to bring in all of these graces to be a blessing to us. Thank you so much, sir. And so, on behalf of the PFN chairman, Reverend Elkanah Eweluozo, and the table of PFN youth in Kano, we want to deeply and sincerely appreciate you, sir, and every other person that is here. Pastor Isaac, Apostle Laura, my brother Moses and the wife, Pastor Steve, everybody.
I will just have one request to make. Can we extend this meeting to tomorrow? Can— am I speaking your mind?
Can—
am I speaking your mind? We are hungry. Are we hungry, sir?
We are hungry. God bless you, sir.
The man of God is putting me in a tight corner, but we will give answer to that. All right, we will give answer to that. But I, I can see that the, the hunger is genuine. One of the ways you know that the cloud over a territory will open is that the leaders don't struggle to come together for a common goal.
Sick.
It's a pattern you must see before we bring up Pastor Isaac Oyedepo for his second session. I don't know why I'm using the word second session and not last session. All right, in this amazing meeting, how many of us are still hungry? Or you have— you are satisfied? Now lift your two hands and just worship even as the man of God leads us.
Thank you, Lord Jesus. When the music fades and all is swept away and my I simply come longing just to bring something that's of worth that will bless your heart.
I'll bring you more than a song.
I'll bring you more than a song. For a song in itself, it's not what you have required. You search much deeper within. Through the way things appear, you can into my heart.

Lift up your hands and pray in the spirit for just a minute or so. What a sweet presence. Oh, the waters have been stirred. The waters have been stirred.
Remember he that jumped in fast when the pool is stirred.
Is the one who lives with it. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Please listen to this. I told Apostle Femi Lazarus while we sat there, and I do not say this to flatter anyone, I've been to several meetings. I said, this Kano Apostolic Meeting is one I have never experienced, and I'll tell you why. Listen, listen, we are not trying to get anyone excited. I'll tell you why. Everything from the first day has been in synergy, and I can tell you that because I've been watching and following from the first night. And I want to say that I believe it began in the Bible study before the meeting began, but you find out that a number of us are meeting for the first time and it's like we have always always known. I heard— I believe it's your pastor that spoke first, right, this morning.
Powerful.
Where is he?
Powerful.
Extremely explosive. And then we had Apostle Lawal. My God. In fact, I had to tell Apostle Femi Lazarus what I'm telling you now so that you understands what is happening. We have never met one-on-one, but part of what he shared is part of what God showed me for today. If you will remember, it was a similar case last night. The first point that, uh, Apostle, uh, Edu shared was my first point. What he shared is my last point. So my assignment today is very simple. When I heard what Apostle Lawal shared, that is the conclusion of the whole matter. So Apostle, you have not finished. I will call you back to release that prayer grace because part of what we need to walk in the fullness of our ordination is prayer. The extended, heartfelt prayer of the righteous man make tremendous possibilities happen. And then look at the illustration of Apostle Femi Lazarus. I've never seen that dimension of clarity in the explanation of scripture. Pastor, please, you can go back. So Apostle, please, I will call you at the end. The assignment is very simple. And then you look at our minstrel The Psalmist Moses Achoo. There has been such a flow in the spirit, and so I will ask you to sing one more song. Don't worry, my time is going to be well spent. I'm doing this because there is already an atmosphere, and the things I'm about to share with you have already been shared. I come in the volume of the book. Please let's sing it for 3 minutes nonstop. Just lead us in that and then we'll flow.
Lift your hands. It was written about me to do your will, oh God.
Please hold on, please hold on. You know why this song is so special to me? I know the season where I heard this song and what the depth of this song You know, when we met, I told you about that. What the depth of this song. I don't think the body of Christ understands it yet. It's not the melodies of the song, it is the depth from which it came from. Psalm 40:7. Lo, I come in the volume it has been written, right? And then we heard Apostle Femi Lazarus talking about a scroll. There is what has been written about you. And listen to this, the Lord said, my assignment this this morning is very simple. It is to commission you. That's the simple assignment, is to commission you into the scroll that has been written about you. Please sing it, 3 minutes, and then we'll go.
Come on, open your mouth. To do your will, oh God. I have come in the volume of the book, in the volume of the book. It was written about me, to do your will, oh God. Sing it two more times. Yeah, I have I'm in the volume of the book. It was written about me to do your will, oh God. Oh, I have come in the— I have come with the volume of the book. It was written about me to do your will. Your will, Lord God, I will do. I will do your will. Sing it to him. To your will. Oh, I will do your will, Lord God. Come on, open your mouths. I will do your will. Even if you slay me, I will stand to do your will, oh God. I will do, I will do your will. Yeah, I will do, I will go your way, do your will, do your will, Lord God. I come, I come, I come in the volume. Say, I come in the volume of the book. It was written of me. To do your will, oh God. Oh God, I come in the volume of grace. It was written about me to do your will, oh God. I will do your will. I will do your will. Oh God, do your will. Oh God, lift your hands. I will do, I will do your will. Do your will. Do your will. Oh God. Hello, thank you, Jesus.
So sweet Holy Spirit, what a great work you are already doing. Not what you are beginning to do, what you are already doing. What a great work. Oh Lord, in this last session this morning, let there be a quick walk, a quick walk. A quick walk from my right to the left. A quick walk, a quick walk from the front to the back. A quick walk. Oh, a quick walk, a quick walk, a quick walk. Glorify Jesus and Jesus Jesus alone in our midst. Let the word that, that will come and be communicated in the few minutes we have, let that word be the word that releases the fire that never goes out. Let it have an eternal impact on our spirit.
Do it, oh Lord.
I vow to give you all the glory, honor, and praise, for it is in Jesus' precious name we have prayed. Amen. Be seated if you can.
Praise the Lord.
Apostle Femi Lazarus, thank you so very much for this amazing privilege and honor. We celebrate God's hand upon your life. We thank God for your wife, your family, the entire household, and the blessing that you are to the body of Christ. Apostle Lawal, thank you so much for the depth from which you share from, and I love what you said this morning. You see, The apostle said, I'm not communicating the enticing words of man's wisdom, but the demonstration of spirit and power. Language is not the issue, is the demonstration of the things to which we say. And so I'm so grateful to the Lord that I was a part of this session. Meeting you for the first time will not be the last time. We have a lot to do together. Pastor Steve, thank you so very much for the blessing that you are. Your wife, Apostle Eddo, in absentia. And my brother also coming tonight, um, Apostle Oroko. We, like I said, each one of us have our part to play and we know our ranks. We know the assignments that God has given to us for this apostolic meeting. And so I know that even tonight it will be explosive. I don't know what the plan is for tomorrow, but we'll find out. Praise the Lord. I'll be speaking on the subject Commissioned. Commissioned. And if you are writing, which I think you should, You can write: Commissioned Fan Into Flame. I'll read from Luke chapter 19. The assignment is simple this morning, so we would run through it. I'm trusting God that at the end of this session there will be a breaking loose upon every one of us. Luke chapter 19, verse 41 to 44. You will see how this connects to what our Pastor in Sphere of Light in Kano shared. And when he was come near, he beheld the city and wept over it, saying, if thou hast known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace, but now they are hid from thine eyes. For the days shall come upon thee that thy enemy shall cast a trench about thee and compass thee round and keep thee in on every side, and they shall lay thee even with the ground and thy children within thee, and they shall not leave thee one stone upon another. This is why, because thou knowest not the time of thy visitation. I'll read that to us in the Amplified, Classic Amplified. If you have it, please, you can share this. And as he approached, he saw the city and wept audibly over it, exclaiming, 'Would thou, would that ye had known personally, even at least in this your day, the things which make for peace, for full freedom from all the stresses that are experienced as the result of sin, and upon which your peace your security, safety, prosperity, and happiness depends. But now they are hidden from your eyes. For a time is coming upon you when your enemies will throw up a bank with pointed sticks about you and surround you and shut you in on every side, and they will dash you down to the ground. You, Jerusalem, you, children within you, and they will not leave you in— they will not leave in you one stone upon another, all because you did not come progressively to recognize and know and understand from observation and experience the time of your visitation. That is when God was visiting you, the the time in which God showed himself gracious towards you and offered you salvation through Christ. And while praying— this began from yesterday, so it's not an issue of this morning— the Lord said, the second time you will speak, help them understand that your assignment, that second session It's a commissioning, a commissioning. They didn't just come to partake of another meeting. A number of them have been marked, and they will have a surprise commissioning ceremony where I will release them to their generation. And so the Lord began to say to me, I am not just about to do something, I have already started it. But in order to step into your full commissioning, you will need to fan some things into flame. And that's what ties with the fire that never goes out. You know, in Hebrews chapter 12, verse 29, he said, our God is what? I can't hear you. Our God is what? A consuming fire. And then the Lord said, no, don't deal with the other side of the fire, deal with the consuming side of fire, because their commissioning will require that certain things in them are consumed. If time permits us, between 3 to 5 of those things will be mentioned. We don't intend to take any time because we will have some time of prayer. I will call Apostle Bak Lawal to lead us in that session. But hear this, the first thing— are you ready for this? The first thing that needs and must be consumed is we must allow— let me put it this way just for clarity— in introducing the consuming fire ministry of the Holy Ghost, we must first, number one, allow this consuming fire to purge us. Please follow. In Matthew chapter 3, verse 11 to 12. Matthew chapter 3, verse 11 to 12. I indeed baptize you with fire unto repentance. He that is coming after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I'm not worthy to bear. When he's coming, he will baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire. And many times we stop there, but he went on to say, whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor. He will separate the chaff from the wheat. And what will he do with the chaff? He will burn it with unquenchable fire. To step into new dimensions, there are things that must be consumed. We must submit ourselves to the purging of the spirit. Your commissioning is not complete without a purging. A purging. This is beyond repentance. This is a purging. For in a great house, there are not only vessels of of gold and of silver, of wood, of earth. He said, if any man purge himself from these, he will be a vessel unto honor, prepared and fit for the master's use. Before a commissioning, there must be a purging. There are things that must be let go beyond what you will consider as major. The Bible talks about the little foxes that spoil the As I'm speaking right now, the Spirit will open your eyes to see certain things that must give way. Until those things give way, he can't have his way. There must be a purging. Hear this, I'm not here preaching, I'm here giving you the instructions. There are a number of you that will literally have mantles drop on you for a generation. Now. It will literally drop on you. It will hit you like wild tornado. But I am telling you what is required. There must be a purging. This fire that never goes out is not just a refining fire, it is also a— oh my God— it's also a consuming fire. There are things that must be let go. There are things we must be purged of. Ministry is not what I'm talking about. It's beyond that. You may be ascending in popularity among men, but God has written your case off. There must be a purging, a purging, a purging. Your commissioning requires a purging. The consuming fire is also the fire that never goes out. And his assignment today in this commissioning is a purging, a purging, a purging from habits, a purging from sin, a purging from unforgiveness, a purging from bitterness. There must be a purging. We can't put up a face and pretend like this thing is happening. There must be a purging. There must be a purging. Number 2, The consuming ministry of the Holy Spirit, or the consumption ministry of the fire that never goes out, must be allowed— number 2, please follow this very well— if you will be commissioned today to a new realm, to a new phase, to a new dimension, it must be allowed to consume fear. For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but the spirit of power, the spirit of love, and the spirit of a sound mind. When this fire that never goes out came upon Joshua, God had to deal with the subject of fear. Joshua chapter 1, verse 1 to 3, the Lord told him, he said, hey, now Moses my servant is gone. The mantle has rested upon you in your commissioning ceremony. He said, everywhere the sole of your feet shall tread upon, that includes Kano and beyond, I will give unto you, but don't be afraid. Joshua 1:3, Joshua 1:6, Joshua 1:7, Joshua 1:9. This subject of fear, we must subject it and submit it to the consumption ministry of the Holy Ghost. The things Apostle Lawal was talking about, you can't do them in fear. To step into your new ordination and a new phase, we must allow the fire that never goes out to consume fear. And a generation must come to this reality: there are places and things God will send you to do without all the details. He knows the end, but he will tell you the beginning. Fear must die in this consumption— with this consumption ministry of the Holy Ghost. In your commission, you cannot step to a new realm with fear. These are the instructions he's given to me. Fear fear. We must subject it for the fire that never goes out to consume it. My God, territories will open to you that no one before you has been given. In fact, you may not have a case study to find out how to go through it. What was the case study of Abraham? At the age of 75, God said, now leave the familiar to the unfamiliar. Leave your father's house— that's what that represents— to a land I will show you. And I will make— not I have shown you, I will show you. That, that's what we talked about yesterday. You must subject yourself to journeying. A land I will show you. I will make your name great. And the Bible says Abraham departed. So when that fire that never goes out came upon him, there is something that dealt with the spirit of fear. The fire that never goes out appeared to Moses at the burning bush, and he said, now go to Pharaoh. Now if you study it very well, you will see that part of what that fire that never goes out consumed was fear.
Moses said, how will I go? Who will I say sent me?
He said, tell them I AM have sent you. Ah, how will I go to where I ran away from? What will I tell them? But by the time the encounter ended with Moses, that fire had consumed fear that Moses would step into the palace to Pharaoh's place and say 'Thus saith the Lord, let my people go that they may serve me.' And Moses will turn back and no one could arrest him. He literally held Egypt to his hand, commanded it until he led 3 million plus people out of Egypt. There are dimensions God wants to take you to, but the fear in you must be consumed. It must be consumed. I am hearing in my spirit, I will not just send people to do what has been done. I will send a number of people to begin to do things that have not yet been done. Now hear this, most times you find our meetings from this part of the world, when we step to another part of the world, who do we gather? Nigerians. Who do we gather? Africans. But the script is about to change.
Where all nations— because power doesn't need language. When you are demonstrating the fullness of his power, you don't need to speak like them.
When you have a toothache and you need a tooth removed, it doesn't matter how the dentist speaks. It is the skill to which he operates. That makes you sit under a dentist whose mouth may be stinking but is the solution to your pain. Maybe you are not hearing what I'm saying. There are a few people here that will be deployed out of Africa. I know what I'm telling you. Watch out for 2025. Nations— I'm not talking about traveling for vacation. I'm talking about stepping into a place and God saying this is your territory.
Some of you, from today, he will place a nation in your heart, give you a flag that you will begin to pray, intercede for, you will be crying out to God for.
And then when the time is right, you say, you are the one I am sending there. I am hearing very, very, very clearly in my spirit, there are at least 7 people in this meeting that God will take and deploy to another part of the world with a mantle and a mandate and an assignment. And that's why we say, hey, it's important that we understand this thing of prayer. Please be seated. I have studied and observed, you find that that is the reoccurring case, but it's about to change. He said, you shall be witnesses first in Jerusalem. Judea, Samaria, and unto the uttermost parts of the world. They brought the gospel here before, now we are exporting it. But this subject of fear— if timidity is not dealt with, it becomes your limitation. And so part of what the consuming fire will do today is not just consume by purging us, but it will also consume timidity, will consume fear. Number 3— I think we'll take 4. Number 3. This fire that never goes out, the consumption ministry of this fire that never goes out, must be allowed to consume spiritual blindness. Spiritual blindness, or if you like, spiritual short-sightedness, because there are things that God wants to show you that you must well see. You look at Jeremiah, a man of fire. He said in Jeremiah 20:9, thy word is like fire shut up in my bones. But study Jeremiah 1. He said, before I formed you in the— in your mother's womb, I knew you and I ordained you. Before you came forth out of your mother's womb, I've ordained you a prophet to the nations. Don't say I am young, he warned him. He went on to say, everywhere I send you, the words that I say you should speak, that you shall speak. But I love the part where he said, Jeremiah, what seest thou? He said, I see the rod of an almond tree. He said, thou hast well seen. So there are things to well see. He said, thou hast well seen, I will hasten my word to perform it. Your commissioning will need to deal with spiritual short-sightedness. Genesis chapter 13, verse 14 to 15, he said to Abraham, he said, now lift up your eyes as far as you can see. He said, look to the north, look to the south, look to the east, look to the west. As far as your eyes can see have I given you. Your commissioning is possible, outside the range of your visibility. And so our eyes must have this fire. Revelations calls it anointing our eyes with eyesalve that we may see. There are things we need to well see for God to perform them in our lives. Number 4. I told you it will not be long at all, and then there will be such an outbreak. Number 4, very quickly, is it must be allowed to consume complacency. And that's where Apostle stopped. This thing requires fervency. Elijah, a man with like passion as we are.
He prayed endlessly.
Now we are having a generation coming up saying it doesn't matter, these things don't matter, you don't need— all you just need is light. It's beyond that. Fanning this thing to flame— I wish I had more time to show you more scriptures— fanning this thing to flame requires consistency, and Consistency is the antidote to complacency. Consistency, fervency, driving long hours. I love what he said. Now you need to go and study the mystery. I call it the mystery of watches. The Lord opened my eyes in June this year to understand the mystery. So when he began to talk about watches and said that was 7 watches, that was 7 hours.
Ah.
And then he took the positioning of a traveling woman. There is a positioning, there is a posture that is required for a birthing. In the month of, I think, July or August, I shared on what the Lord showed to me about the birthing. There are things you must birth, but you can't birth them in complacency. And so the Lord said, now I'm going to move in their midst and commit— some of you will be so marked that I tell you, between now and the next apostolic meeting where God will have shifted you, you will not need to explain to people.
It will be visible.
But he's saying, focus this morning on the things that must be consumed. The consumption ministry of the Holy Spirit is a needed manifestation in order for the commissioning of the saints. I tell you something, again the Lord will mark women today. You know why I'm saying this with all— I know what he showed me. He said 2024, before it ends, I will be marking women like Deborah, prophetic mantles upon women. And doesn't end there, men also will be marked. I'm telling you the truth. Nobody needs to call you to say kneel down and pour oil on you. That is the outward ceremony. There is always an inner commissioning. Nobody was there to commission Moses. The encounter at the fire that never goes out consumed the things that must be consumed and released him into his destiny. Commissioned, fan into flame. He says, tear up the gift of God that is in you. Some of you have amazing gifts placed on the inside that needs to be stirred. He said it was placed in to you by prophecy. Stir up that gift. Another translation says, fan it into flame. Fan that gift into flame. Fan it into flame. Fan it into flame. Today, on the original calendar, is the last day. If it's extended till tomorrow, no problem. But on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus cried, if any man First let him come. The last day, the last day. Oh Lord, may this consuming fire purge me. Oh Lord, may this consuming fire take away complacency in my prayer life. Oh Lord, may this consuming fire fire.
Take out—
I just heard in my spirit— from me spiritual cataracts. Oh Lord, may this consuming fire take these things that must be taken away from my commissioning. Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord. He said, go ye into all the world and preach the gospel. Go ye into all the world and do my my bidding, go into all the world and do my assignment. But he said, tarry until you are endued with power. And that power came with the manifestation of fire from on high. I tell you something, that fire didn't just refine, that fire consumed.
How do I know?
Peter, who was timid in fear, after that fire that never goes out consumed fear and timidity. Look at the message of Peter in Acts chapter 2. Same body, two different men.
He ministered, fire erupted.
We have always preached about refining fire, refining fire. Let's now deal with consuming fire. The consuming fire is not a bad thing in itself. It prepares you for your commissioning. Our time is limited. Those 4 things must be well taken care of. Can you imagine if a number of us will leave today with that prayer mantle? What will happen when men will, will sit down in a bathing position and pray and pray and pray and and pray and pray until something happens. This kind of prayer cannot be streamed. Did you hear what I said?
This kind of prayer cannot be streamed.
What we see Apostle stream is just a part of it. You don't go to your prayer closet and you are streaming yourself. Apostle Lawal, you can't go in there and you are streaming yourself. See how we pray.
There is something, o makaraba, there is something that rests upon a man. And that prayer mantle is so heavy when it comes upon a man. They don't teach it by teaching, you learn it by experience.
He said, I have learned by experience that the Lord has blessed me for your sake. There are things that cannot be taught, there are only things that can be experienced.
Oh, lift up your hands, stand up on your feet, everybody. I want you to cry for that consuming fire right now to begin to purge to consume complacency, to consume spiritual blindness. Lift up your voice right now. Lift up your voice right now. Lepeke te mana mana maya. That it will consume fear. I am telling you, today is your auditioning. Today is your commissioning. Today is your commissioning. Today is your commissioning. Some of you, it will not end in Kano. What God is placing on you is beyond Kano. It may begin in Kano, it is beyond Nigeria. It may begin in Nigeria, it is beyond Africa. It may begin in Africa, I see God transporting a number of people, deploying you to nations, sending you there to midwife, sending you there to disciple, sending you there to usher in a revival. Will you lift your voice right now as we pray? Come on, lift your voice! The commissioning has begun. It has begun. It has begun. It has begun. Lift up your voice. Your life depends on this. Your destiny depends on this. In the name of Jesus, Holy Ghost, let that consuming fire begin to consume all consumables. In the name of the Lord Jesus, lift your voice, lift your voice, lift your voice. Elijah, a man with light passion. A man with light passion. A man with light passion.
Listen, I want you to understand. I wish I could drop the microphone. I'm in such a hurry, such a hurry. If Apostle Femi Lazarus will come, he will come up. If Apostle Lawal will come, he will come up.
I—
listen, listen, let me tell you the honest truth. I have seen where God will move a man to another place that is not his destination to place a mantle on him. If God says it is in Kano he wants to meet Isaac, he will not meet him in Abuja. In fact, he can move 3 people from the same location where they live to a strange location and bring synergy. That is— it's the first time I've had this much time with the apostles here. But the God I know, I have seen it, and I'll tell you a true story where God will move you from a place. Please, the next— I don't want to break the protocol, but the next apostolic meeting, try and come fasting. Try and come fasting. It's the first time this may be said. I came here with such a hunger If you think I came to preach, you missed it. A new season begins for me next week. Next week is our second year into the current assignment God has given to us. And he so did it that the week before the end of the first year, he called an apostolic meeting. Some of you think it is for you in Kano. It is for some of us from Abuja. And God brought us is here.
I said it is here. I will rest upon you a new mantle for your next level. Are you hearing what I'm saying? Some of us have overstayed in one dimension because the dimension is celebrated.
We do not know it has expired.
Many of us are in an old dimension that God has left because it is still celebrated. We do not know it has expired. I will say it again.
Some of us are in an expired dimension, but because it is celebrated, we are not aware. My assignment is not complete because a message was preached. My assignment is only complete when a commissioning happens for my new phase. I'll tell you breakthrough experience. Listen, two stories. One, I was pastoring in the Maryland church at the time of Winners Chapel International, my home church, and suddenly there came a need. We're in the midst of a season like this where the Spirit of God will break through in the service and we can't preach, where the Spirit of God will begin to move and men of God will begin to to come to the altar. Pastors we ordained will come to the altar, fall by their face and weeping. That was the kind of season we're in. The Lord told us in that season, he said, stop all your multiple services, make it one. He said, this thing takes time. It's not about how many services. He said, it takes time, crash it into one. And then in that season, we would pray for an hour before the main service begins.
Days.
We called it the Upper Room. Now the Lord said, make those prayer sessions spontaneous. Don't come with prayer points. Those are all against the normal church rules. We couldn't stream it. I think maybe we streamed just one or two of it and took it off. That, look, we are not here to show. Take it off, take it off. We would pray, and the Lord said, I want you as the lead pastor to lead prayer. Mind you, I'm still the same one that will preach. And so we are praying for an hour, 8 to 9 o'clock. By time it is 8:59, the pastor to lead opening prayer jumps on the altar. The fire is already burning. I, I tell you the truth, as we began to see that outbreak— somebody will ask me, have you seen a revival? I've not yet seen one. What have I seen? I have seen sparks. That is, if you continue with this this thing at this intensity, something will break out. Before the real fire comes, there are sparks, there are sparks, there are sparks. What we're experiencing here are the sparks of the kind of fire that, if we allow, will never go out. But are we consistent? Are we consistently consistent? And so the Lord took me, he said, now there is a dedication of a church facility in Minnesota. He said, go there. I got I went to Minnesota on a Friday. The Lord said, I don't want you to step out till Sunday morning. I said, it's an official assignment I came for. He said, delegate it. You know, there are sometimes administration can hinder manifestation. He said, delegate it. I delegated. They came to me, they said, Pastor, would you eat anything? I said no. They refused to answer. They brought fruits. After they left, I carried the trash I said, what I came here for is not administration. What I came here for is not celebration. What I came here for is not recognition. The Lord shut me in. By time we came out on Sunday morning to that meeting, the Lord birthed what we are still doing now. What we are still doing now. He outlined to me what I call a revival culture. By the grace of God, we have the book coming out next year on Revival Culture. He said this is the culture that cultivates revival. He unveiled it, but it's a tough curriculum. Another time. I mean, stories upon stories in my Bible here. This is the Bible I was using last year. Apostle Femi Lazarus will understand the dynamics of church, the dynamics of family relationships. And when God began to speak to us, we are talking of years upon years. One time the Lord came, October last year, in the midst of, oh no, you should, you may not go, you may go, you may not go. The Lord came to me, said, Isaac, today I have commissioned you. He said, if you do not respond, it's your issue. The Lord commissioned me before what you saw on YouTube. It was one month after I said, I've commissioned you, that the public commissioning was done. I want you to go beyond this public thing. You don't need to try and hang around some people to show that you belong. There are dimensions you will ascend that you attract certain people. Yes, when they see you, they will know you of the same company. He said when Saul came into the company of prophets, he began to prophesy. There's an apostolic company, apostolic company that the Lord is bringing together in this nation, in this generation. Oh my God, they are not all of the same age, they are not all of the same language, but an apostolic, and they know they carry it. There are brothers that are apostles in the spirit.
There are sisters that are prophetesses.
No one has recognized it on them, doesn't mean it is not on them. And so if you will allow me, I want to ask our two apostles here to come join me. We're in an apostolic company. I don't know what they will be led to release, but hey, my friend, I came here hungry.
My flight is about to take off. I told somebody 2 days ago, I said, while some people are thinking of what to do next year, I said, a number of us are already on the runway. We are on the runway.
This engine is already cooking. This engine is already broken.
In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, lift your hands. May everyone who submits themselves to the consuming fire— may anything in you or in me that will not allow us take flight— complacency, the things that must be purged, spiritual blindness, fear of any kind— may that fire consume it now. One, two, three, four. 4, 5, 6, 7. May that fire consume it. May that fire consume— my God, may that fire consume it. This is your commissioning.
Apostles, please come if you can join us and just release over the people.
This is your commissioning. This is your commissioning. I don't know if you understand what is happening. I don't know if you truly understand what is happening. Ushers, as the power hits them, Please bring them forth.
Maybe there will be prophetic releases.
I don't know what the case is, but I know this is a karios moment for somebody. Everything is aligned, properly aligned. Everything is properly aligned. Your destiny depends on it. Your destiny depends on it. Your destiny depends on it. This consuming fire that never goes out Your destiny depends on it. Pastor Steve, please come. Your destiny depends on it. Your destiny depends on it. Oh, fire that consumes! Let it consume, let it consume, let it consume, let it consume, let it consume, let it consume.
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Oh, that fire is coming. It's resting, it's resting. I see it descending. I see it locating men. I see it locating women. I see Deborahs arising. That fire is purging everything that must be purged. That fire is taking out every form of fear. That fire is taking away blindness. That fire is taking away complacency. On the altar of prayer, lift your voice, lift your Lift your voice! Lift your voice! Your commissioning is now! Your commissioning is now!
We thank you, Lord. Lift your hands where you stand, everyone. There is the grace that makes the miraculous and the supernatural a lifestyle. I'm gonna pray for two dimensions of grace, but I heard the word the miraculous, the ease of flow of power.
Yes, that it doesn't matter how dead a territory is. Upon your head comes today the grace and the fire to break it open for the Lord. And I decree upon everyone here today, let the fire for the miraculous from my right to the middle to the back take it now in the name of Jesus. Let it break open! Take it now in the name of Jesus! Now hear this: you will wear the presence of the Lord like a garment, that even as you step into place, dry bones will come alive! The function of the prophets, whether prophetic ministers, prophetic teachers, seers— I decree, break open now in the name of Jesus! Everyone called into the prophetic ministry here, let the deep call to your deep now and explode out in the name of Jesus! The spirit of wisdom, wisdom and grace, wisdom, wisdom, wisdom, wisdom, wisdom. That's one of the marks of apostleship. Let it break open now in the name of Jesus. Pray in the Holy Ghost, everyone.
Pray in the Holy Ghost.
You are holy. You are holy.
Listen, I heard the Lord say that he will be opening up the gates of nations. Listen, by the grace of God, he has taken us across some nations. For the work of the ministry. People tell me how hard South Africa is. It was the place of the greatest explosion in my pastoral ministry. Tough territory, yet the heavens open. Pastored in the United States twice. What they say does not happen in the United States was happening. There was such a hunger There are a number of you that have been marked for nations.
Now, at the count of 7, that fire that consumes what keeps you local and places you on a global stage without changing your intonation— it is a mantle that opens up nations— may it rest upon you. 1, 2, 3. 3, 4, 5. Nations are opening.
Nations, nations.
6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Let it break loose. Nations, nations, nations, nations, nations, nations, nations. That is a territorial grace. Nations, nations, nations.
One of the things that I believe that the Lord will be doing in this season, beyond restoring the apostolic back to the church, which we are seeing dimensions of it here, is restoring the evangelistic back to the church. The evangelistic, evangelistic. That is ministries like CFAN, Christ for All Nations. I do not know of a Nigerian that commands that evangelistic grace like Riyad Bonki on these shores. And the Lord said, I will not need to send them here again. I will raise home breed that will be patient enough to go to the grassroots. There is a grassroots root assignment. We often like the elaborate assignment, but there is a grassroot, grassroot assignment for the evangelistic. That is pure evangelist preaching the gospel of Jesus with simplicity, entering into territories and ripping the overripe harvest. That grace for the evangelistic is coming upon a number of you now, you know you have been called to that ministry. Some of you are considering becoming pastors because evangelistic doesn't seem attractive enough.
I'm not just talking to men, I'm also talking to women.
I will count to 10 now.
As that consuming fire comes upon you, it will purge you, it will consume fear, it will consume blindness.
It—
oh my God!
One!
In the name of Jesus 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Let that fire fall. Let that fire, the consuming fire, in preparation for your commissioning. Let that fire fall. Let that fire, my God, let that fire fall as it purges, as it consumes fear. Oh my My God, let that fire fall in the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus. It takes an altar to trap and sustain commissioning. There are those of us here whose altars are broken down, no prayer life at all. Lift your hands, everybody. Stretch your hands towards this prophetic altar. There are 96 of you right now. I see cherubs coming around with coals of fire and they are falling upon altars. In the name of Jesus, let your altar in the count of 5 receive that prayer fire. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. 5, begin to pray in the Holy Ghost and the fire drops. Your fire comes back now. Fresh fire for prayers, fresh hunger for prayers, consistency, consistency, territorial priesthood, territorial priesthood. Yes, grace for territorial priesthood. Laxity dies. Spiritual lethargy dies. Timidity dies. Prayer returns to your fire. Prayer returns to your altar. Hunger, hunger for priesthood. Hunger for priesthood. Hunger for priesthood. In the name of Jesus. Listen, you are under the sound of my voice and you're a pastor, young minister of the gospel. The gospel, but you know something has happened to your altar. No freshness. Altar down. You are still working, but it is dead. Wherever you are under the sound of this atmosphere, you need fresh, freshness. Wherever you are, rise to the front right now. Tonight or today is the day of your commissioning again. Fresh fire! Where is that pastor? Where is that young evangelist? Freshness, rush forward quickly! We are counting 3. 1, 2, 3! Fresh fire! Fire your altar! Fire your altar! Yes! This is the altar of them that seek the Lord. The Jesus Fire Generation, men who will seek him and not be weak.
Hallelujah!
Just as Pastor was talking about, we're going to be praying for the impartation of the spirit of boldness. The Bible says they prayed, they were filled with boldness. Father, we ask in the name of the Lord Jesus for the impartation of the spirit of boldness, fire that consumes fear, that releases boldness to step into the streets, to step into your ordination, to step into your call. To step into your office, to step into the home, familiar, to step into— yes, as they are coming, keep bringing them out. Usher's help! Usher's help! Usher's help! There's fire! There's fire! There's fire! There's fire! There's fire! There's fire! Healings and miracles, signs and wonders, There's fire, there's fire, there's fire, there's fire. The spirit of boldness, the heart of the lion, to dare impossibilities, to dare the devil to his face. Oshas help! Oshas help! Oshas help!
Oh, what a presence! Oh, the glory of your presence.
We your temple, my God, bring it Glory in your praise. As your presence now feels Minister Akon, can you minister with your strings?
It is your own harp. I want to— do you see what is happening here? My God!
We be your temple. We give your reverence. I sow through your And be blessed by our prayer. Now your praise now fills these lands. Yes.
Oh my God.
As your breath now fills this room, Holy Spirit, you are welcome in these Oh my God, consuming fire is walking. You are welcome in this, in this place. You are welcome in this place. Oh, look at what the Spirit of God is doing. Thou art well. Come. Oh, he potent Father, full of mercy and grace. You are welcome, please. Omnipotent Father of mercy and Our—
whatever you doing in this season, please don't do it without me.
Don't do it without me, Lord. Whatever you are doing in this season, please don't do it without Please don't do it without me, Lord. Lord, whatever you were doing in this season, please don't do it without— please don't Bless you. Holy Spirit, they go.
Jesus, they go. We cannot We cannot do it alone.
Holy Spirit, thank you, Lord.
We bless you, Lord, for the great grace that has been imparted and your spirit that is strong.
Amen.
There is a music minister in this place. The Lord said, I am giving you power to give life to songs, that even songs that looks like the body of Christ I've stopped singing and forgotten, but there is still a contact point there. As you put it on your lips, God said, I will flesh it with my power. I don't know who that music minister is, but receive that grace. What you have received this morning remains with you and you are bound in it. In increasing measures, grace upon grace. No one here will go back to being cold again. Now you see, amazingly, the theme for this conference did not even come from Leviticus 6. It came from my personal walk with God. Something came upon my life on campus Femi Lazarus, in the place of digging and seeking, that has helped me and empowered me to defy odds. And I recognize this is a fire that never goes out. Something is coming on you in this meeting that will condemn you towards one purpose, which is God. You will not— you will look for fear, you won't be able to find. You will try to be timid in cases you just won't be able to.
The grace is on you.
Thank you, Father. Blessed be your holy name. In Jesus' mighty name we have prayed. Oh, what a great God we serve. If you can, please go back to your seat quickly. If you can, leave those under the anointing. We are here all day. And what do we say to Pastor Isaac this morning? Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. What a grace! What a grace! What a grace! Go back to your seats quickly, quickly, quickly. Leave those under the anointing if you can. Quickly, quickly. Thank you, Lord. This evening is a very, very, very, very, very serious one. All right, and we start by 4 on the dot. And you know, many people who have not been able to make it from day one will be rushing down to be here this evening. Some are traveling from Kaduna, from Jigawa, and places around. So if I were you, I'd be here earlier to pray. And that's one of the things I love about this facility, is that you have a large span of land to pray, to pray. There are meetings you can attend casually. You cannot think casually. Since these meetings that I've been staying awake, pray. I have burdens. I don't want to come back next year the same way. There are things God must do in my life. And when you pray, it preps you to identify your Kairos. You won't know what's yours if you are not fired up. We've not come to see men. Maybe men you've been seeing from afar, oh, now I can see them up close. No, we've come to Mount Zion. We've come to the innumerable company of angels. That's what our gathering is for. Prep yourselves with prayer. It's not too much if you shut down these few days, shut it down. There are times you tell yourself, my belly go on strike, I have to seek God. If it's not a custom, you're not getting anywhere. If it is not a custom, you're not getting anywhere. The rigor, the discipline to do that, not once and for all, but again and again and again. And an outbreak began in our ministry after several night 90 days of prayer stretch. Those who know knows. 7 hours in tongues, 8 hours in tongues. If there's a man to pray, there's a God to answer. I just sense to tell you, ahead of evening meeting, mention in specific terms what you want God to do in your life as Pastor Tomichael comes to take pick up from here. Now you mention ahead of evening, eh, mention in specific terms, this is it for me, I'm not leaving this place if I can't see this. Have you prayed such prayer before? Prayer of desperation. I won't let you go, I will not live here until this becomes a reality. Lift your hands where you sit and register that prayer for the next 3 minutes. Let it be your tears crying out to God. I'm not getting anywhere if I can't see it.
Lift your voice and pray. Be specific, be specific, be specific. Come on, go ahead. We have few more minutes. Pray the prayers and be specific. Mention it to the ears of God this moment. Oh yes, if there is a man to pray, there is a God that answers. There is a God that is answering. In your own words, in your own voice, make mentions of these things. Man From my mouth to your ears, oh God. From my heart to your ears. From my heart to your ears. From my heart to your ears.
Oh yes.
He hears, he hears, he hears. Oh, thou that hearest prayers, unto thee shall all flesh come. Let it rise this moment. Oh Father, we give you thanks, we give you thanks. Thank you, Jesus, for in Jesus' mighty name we have prayed. Hallelujah. Now as I Apostle said, and as he mentioned, there is space for you to pray. I personally believe none should go back and just continue their activities. Make it a point of duty as this meeting is ending, shut down, seek for a quiet and solitary place, just shut down to pray. Tonight is that night where if there is nothing you get, you have gotten from the beginning till now. Tonight is the night to get everything. Come so hungry that you squeeze and soak out all the graces available. Is somebody here what I'm saying this moment? Yes. Don't be distracted by your friends or whatever.
Shut down. In fact, no food, no water.
Are we together? Tell your neighbor, get ready.
Amen.
So tonight we start by 4 o'clock on the dot. Hallelujah! Come hungry. Invite the sick. Invite those that you know should be here. Invite them. Come prepared. Come hungry. And as you do so, the Lord will meet you at the point of your needs, in Jesus' mighty name. As Apostle has said, pray and be specific. Don't just let it be vague. Lord, this This is exactly what I want. This is what I want. Hallelujah! I want us to rise on our feet this moment as we give to the Lord an offering. And before we do that, I want to mention that Apostle's books are available for purchase. There are 4 books for you to get. Many of us have not gone to check it, but do well to get your copy. The Audacity of Faith, The Clash of Thrones, Wedlock, and Insight for living. And as you read those books, they will further help your journey in the walk of faith. Hallelujah! Can we rise on our feet this moment as we take our offerings? Now, this is a part of our worship to the Lord, and as we do it as a custom in this house, we give in an atmosphere of worship and honor to the Lord. Hallelujah! So package something honorable to the Lord as the media displays and the account details to give to. If you're also giving via cash, the ushers will go around as the music department, Streams of Life, give us a song. In one minute, we give to the Lord. Father, we thank you for the privilege and the grace to give, and I ask that these offerings are received in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Where this is coming from, it's not cease to flow, in Jesus' mighty name. Can we join our hands together as we share the grace in fellowship? Want to go? The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ The love of God and the sweet fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us now and forevermore. Amen. Hallelujah! 4 o'clock, we commence. God bless you.
