Kingdom Prayer Retreat - Day 3 Evening || 4TH JULY 2025

Pastor Japheth and other speakers lead prophetic prayers to break generational curses, particularly the curse of Reuben from Genesis 49. Participants share testimonies of extreme fasting and visions, while speakers call for urgent collective prayer to reclaim inheritance, land, and spiritual authority.
Chapters
and you are desperate for a change. This might be that moment you're praying for. I ask right now that there is a release of fire that makes your life no longer convenient and comfortable for that spirit.
At the count of 3, from my right to my left to the overflows, I rouse Out! Strange forces, familiar spirits, ancestral spirits such as have journeyed with people all their lives, patterns of delay— whatever name they are called— 1, 2, 3, get out! Out! Lose them now and let them go now, you strange power of darkness. I see you that 3 of you, pack your load, get out. Yes, get out. I'm seeing a spirit of indebtedness. Doesn't come out of the vicious cycle. Doesn't come out of the vicious cycle. Get out, get out, get out, get out. The set time to favor Zion has come. The set time to favor Zion has come. I am seeing practically a rope is being removed from someone's neck to shoulder. Yes, there's a rope being removed.
There's a rope, I don't know.
I don't know what that means, but these 4, 4 wraps of rope being removed.
Get out! Thank you, Lord.
Sit down for a moment. A man can carry the oil and certain things are still compatible. And even this thing we call the anointing is in layers. It's in layers.
I rebuke the spirit of affliction. Get out! I'm not joking. That spirit called affliction that visits families and doesn't want to leave. I curse it to the roots.
I curse it to the roots. I curse it to the roots.
I curse it to the root. I cut it down. Thank you, Lord. Bring me that lady, just a moment. Yes, bring her for me.
Can you help me break the fast? Just that girl crying, bring her for me.
There's a reason.
There are meetings where some things are settled once and for all.
Once and for all.
Go on your knees quickly. Just go on your knees. Just, just stay. Hold on. I stand in my office As a prophet, and I insist at this very moment, every agitation against your destiny, this is where it ends. A new journey begins from here.
It is done. It is done.
Take her back. Sit down.
Now you can switch from tears to joy. Yeah, that's how you receive.
Amen.
Why is it that there are battles that despite prayers, Bible studies, they just refuse to go? Why is it? Despite all that is happening, you study, they just stay like strong men insisting, gloating over destinies, more like mounting pressure over family that we own these ones. Why is it?
And I'm going to show you secret, but let me, while I show you that secret, Let me warn.
These are days we must become vocal about certain things, however controversial they may sound, but we can rescue some. Anywhere in your life, never join them to stab God's anointed.
This is a generation that has not discerned between the holy and the common.
We can curse anybody anybody.
We can insult anybody.
We can— people heap on themselves curses that will linger for generations.
And because it doesn't manifest in one day, they think they are free. And that's even the worst form of judgment. Just help that young man. That's the worst form of judgment, the kind of judgment that God will not let you know where it's coming from.
Let me share a story with you. Years back, I won't mention name, a father in this country was ministering his church in Kaduna, was preaching fervently.
He just caught a revelation about the blessing of the Lord, was sharing it. You can never be poor.
A woman sat down there and crossed their legs and said, When he's done shouting, we are the one that will push the bituka before it will start. Be deceiving yourself. And her womb was shut for over 30 years. She prayed till God opened her eyes to see what she said. And when she found her way through one of the programs, got her way to his office, And he just prayed for her and said, you are free. She conceived. 30 years of delay because of talk talk.
We must be careful.
I don't want to go into stories. In Genesis 49, Let's start from verse 1. Look at this scripture. Jacob called unto his sons, and look at what he said. He said, gather yourselves together that I may tell you that which shall what?
Befall you in the last days. That is what I want to say is a law.
Yes. Verse 2: Gather yourselves together and hear, ye sons of Jacob, and hearken unto Israel your father. Reuben, you are my firstborn, my might, the beginning of my strength. And the excellence of dignity and the excellence of power. Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel. Listen, if you are a good child born under Reuben, your goodness is not enough. We must pay attention to camps and to the words that have gone ahead of the camps. He finished Reuben.
He nailed it.
He settled it. He disgraced him. He rubbished him. He cursed him.
Then he said the reason publicly.
He said, because you went into your father's bed and defiled it. Listen to what I'm saying. One of the ways people get to enter into battles that way is when they breach covenant. You can call it covenant malpractice. There are consequences.
There are what?
There are consequences. Life is deep.
I have stories running through my head.
I'm careful about sharing many things. There are consequences. One girl beat her mother and dragged the mother from the door to the well in the compound. The mother said to her that this place you have dragged me to, that's where your own daughter too will drag you. And the daughter did it. There are consequences. He cursed him. When he cursed Reuben, he cursed not just Reuben but every seed in his loins. Any portion he gave them, he was giving the portion to the seed in their loins. And check what happened to the Reubenites. They became minute.
They became a people of no significance. You couldn't listen to— listen, listen to what I want to tell you.
Words are powerful. You can look at a man and tell the man, by the authority of God upon your life, and say, today, from today, things begin to work for you. What did Jesus tell the man at the pool? Pick your bed and go.
For 38 years, was that not what he couldn't do? But it matters who says it.
Pick your bed and go is pick your bed and go. I shared a story, even though I'm not— I don't mention Years back, go and read church history. One of the fathers lost a child years back. People, newspaper people started mocking him. He lost a child, this, this, this. And the man sat down and looked at the picture of the person mocking him and said, The only thing he has to say is that this guy will not have the opportunity to have gray hair like him.
He nailed it.
Don't stay in the camp of the wicked. Some of you attend meetings, you pray, you go on social media. And you see much dishonor, curses. You can rubbish anybody, you can talk to anybody, you can slam anybody. You're joking.
Careful.
And I want to say this because at least this part of Nigeria is part of the East. Am I correct? An average Easterner— I'm sorry. Must learn honor, lest we come from the West and pack the waters that you have and we are satisfied with water but you are in drought. It is not true that the East doesn't have generals. There are, but we don't honor our own. An average Igbo man doesn't feel there's anyone who deserves respect. They commonize everything. There is always a spirit of blindness that lifts once it is too late. Esau said yesterday to Jacob, what is this bet right to me? He lost it the following day, and the Bible said began to seek it with tears. Why must you only know the value of things when they are gone? Why is there so much dishonor on social media? Why is there so much victimization, particularly against fathers?
It's simple.
We're in the days of transition, and everybody will suddenly have sense once inheritances have been shared. Then they will wake up and seek for it with tears and not find it.
I can show you scriptures. How did 390 years of slavery become 430 years.
Do you think it was the Israelites that made mistake? That's not true. It was not the Israelites that didn't recognize their season. That's not true.
When Moses came, it was one guy, one guy, one guy, one idiot who spoke and said to Moses, who made you a leader over us?
One guy.
And God took his statement as a statement of all the Israelites.
Moses ran for 40 years. God waited for 40 years.
You know, may you not know the pain of a missed season, that God showed up for a man but the man was not ready for God. There is the pain that comes with that.
Many Christians are living in frustration of seasons God came but they were not ready. They either couldn't pray more. I thank you as I have the opportunity to meet Daddy I alone know the next time food will touch this mouth. There are prayers you don't receive and go back and eat fufu. But you see yourself, you just won't fast, you just won't pray.
Why?
Because you have no sense of value. Save water in the days of rain, for drought is coming. Lest your children will ask you, you were around in the days of the move of God, why didn't you get anything for us? They will ask you. They will ask you. I sense that the heavens are open tonight. Because it doesn't end with the mistake of a generation. You might have suffered the mistake of a generation, but you can repair it both for yourself and for those coming behind. Before they go to the promised land, Moses gave Reuben a chance. He said, I want Reuben and Gad to march forward. And Reuben said, we are ready, and they marched. They took back the firstborn status and God honored it. And Deuteronomy 33, he now came back, he said, "Tell Reuben, let him live, let him not die, let his men not be few." Listen, I may not have charisma, but God has given me authority and I can tell you that it doesn't matter how deep the battle is. If God can see depth of sins— you see that lady I laid hands on that time? Watch that girl's life, it will shock you. You will know that there are impartations you don't receive twice. Once is enough to settle you. If there is anyone Who can pray tonight and say, hold on a minute? And I don't lie to myself. I have friends who came from amazing places. When I was— when I got married, myself and Lawrence, you know my house. It's just friends that were separating us from their family house. So we're always together with God's will. Before Daddy died, I spent time with him. So I told myself that these boys have inheritances. Somebody has tilled the ground. But despite the fact that they have inheritances, they pray.
But you wey no meet anything for ground. You dey play.
Huh?
You know where you are coming from.
You know, if you have heard my teachings, I shared my story.
2010/2011, that was when it occurred to me that there's fire on the mountain, and I made a pledge. I will start 100 days die each dry fasting. If I die, I die, but I will not live an empty life. So I later found out I couldn't do 100 days directly, so I broke it. Okay, at least there are some things you find out by yourself. And I broke it to 21, 21, 21, 3 days break, 21, 3 days break, 21. I've done the first, the second, the third. I was on the fourth and I was emitting blood. They carried me to the hospital. I saw myself leave my body. They did abdominal scan and said something. The doctor said if he attempts to fast again, he would die. I was just crying, I wasn't talking, and I was saying, what I set out to pray about, I have not eaten the note of victory. I cannot forget how I left the hospital through the window, and I said, if they say I can't fast again, what I was doing was dry, so let me do white. So I started on that 21 days white. That is, that's the kind of fasting you take. Gary, no sugar, nothing, nothing sweet, nothing salty, no oil, no pepper. I finished that. I still have not eat the nutmeg. To let you know how deep that thing was. And I said I will start 7 days white. Then I started. No victory. Then 3 days dry. It was on the third day And I slept in my room and I had a vision and I saw myself lying down and an angel stood in the room and carried a trumpet.
And showed me a man who was lying down dead in my room.
I said, get up. I got up. He said, do you know that man lying down there dead? I said, no. He said, look at him well. I said, I don't know him. He said, look at him well. I said, I don't know him. He said, that's the father of your grandfather. He said, he went with something that belonged to all of you. He said, your cry has come to our ears. That's how he said, our ears. Said, I've been sent to wake him up to collect yours. He took something that looked like a trumpet. You can use doctrine to fall to fault what I'm saying.
See, you—
ah, what's my own? Ah, it's cool.
Like, you think I'll be angry?
Carry on. Whatever result I have, I have it. You have your life to live. So one time somebody said, the one that used to sponsor me, I called my bank to check how much he has ever sent to me, and they traced his number and they saw he has sent me ₦50,000 twice. I told the person that he told that I'm not actually as poor as I look. Let's just leave that. I just believe that Let's leave that. So he blew that stuff and the man got up angry. That's 4 generations. And the angel said, you are it. And I was shaking and I knew instead instinctively in that vision to dip my hands to his chest, and that's where those things were. And as I put my hands there, like I could tell, this for this person, this for that one. So I wanted to pack for everybody and distribute. He said, you can only pick yours. When they pray, they pick theirs. So I picked mine, and the man fell back.
Dead.
Then I woke up from the vision and I knew I had eaten victory, phase 1.
Oh, they are in levels.
Oh, sorry, they are in levels. I'm sorry.
So after a while I became pained and angry.
That God, thank you for the victory, but I have a pain. The pain is, look at it, I fasted till I almost died.
Must it be this tough?
And he said, there are kinds that doesn't change without prayer and fasting. Then he said, however, there's always an however. He said, because you didn't discern anybody who went through that journey and broke through. He said, if you had, they carry the anointing to bring you out. I said, what? I did all this because of lack of discernment. I've learned. One of my younger brothers heard the story. He called me up on phone. I said, release the word to my life now. I said, now that you have heard and your eyes have seen every grace I've walked thing working. If your journey looks like you are a person of prayer, but you can also see that in all honesty— let's be honest— where I'm coming from, nobody has actually stepped into the light like that, like that. Good thing is that I've shared a story with with you, you can discern. So we can pray on that very serious open heavens. Let the children of Reuben come back and say, we may look like a cursed one, but we are going back to take our birthright.
Then the word can come and change what ought to be permanent. Anywhere the word can be sent, change can be seen.
I want to give you the next 2 minutes.
See, listen to what I'm saying. Listen to what I'm saying.
You stand there representing your unborn children and their unborn children. You can squander it.
But for people who know, this is my opportunity and I will seize it. If I can get 7, I cause all the overflow.
That's more than enough. That's far more than enough.
And if we can have—
can they stop that noise? If we can have much more, that's also good.
But I want to give you 2 minutes of a lifetime, 2 precious minutes. Tonight, I take back what belongs to my lineage. I break the pattern of darkness and everything that looks like a curse.
Don't wait for me to tell you the intensity of the prayer. You should pray.
You should pray.
No, you are standing on behalf of a generation.
Pray, pray like your life depends Bends on it. Pray, pray, pray, pray. You have one more minute. Pray. I will pray!
I will pray! We will pray! We will pray, we will pray, we will pray, we will pray. I will pray, I will pray, I will pray, I will pray, I will pray. In Jesus' mighty name we have prayed.
Amen.
Don't worry. Amen.
Look up.
Recently I began to pray. This is the first time ever I'm going to say this publicly, and I said, God, thank you for anointing me, but I don't just want the anointing. Give me my own climate.
And what that means is I want an atmosphere that is unique to me and the grace upon my life. He said to me, the concentration required for that— never step social media again. The reason why many of us can't enter into into depth of what we should enter. We are too distracted for the consecration that brings power.
Too many voices. Even what I've taught tonight, many people will not be free because some people just come with grace and say it's just— this is the night Ruben is set free. To take back his firstborn position. Again, I decree. I am seeing a forest, and I'm seeing a space in the forest, and I see fire burning, fire burning, fire burning, and some dark entities running out from different corners. Running out, running out. Father, I know this specifically signifies something about a household. Even as I speak, confirm these words with fire.
Everyone under the sound of my voice, Reclaim back your possession.
That which has always been yours, that the sons of men has refused for you to enter into, I take it back for you tonight. As many as have been barricaded from entering the gate of destiny, we break down the gates tonight. Hear the words of the Lord. That which you have not been able to enter since the days of your birth, that which no one carry your bloodline has been able to step into, you become the first in that lineage. When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, they were like them that dream. Let restoration that look like dream.
Let it come tonight.
In the words of the Lord, your firstborn status is back.
Pastor, you don't need—
you don't need, um, you're my brother.
You don't need offering for a bigger venue. A word is enough.
Father, we receive a bigger place. Um, woman of God, please come join us. We receive open heavens of resources, resources beyond human understanding. That the land of Uyghur, a space is made for this house here. You know, as I came, I smiled because I saw you were looking for a place, but God is planning a camp. Move by the Spirit of God and let God show you the land and You don't even need money. Just go there and sow seed of prayer and say, Lord, we take it.
Um, years back I was asking for a house rent in Abuja, and God said, I'm giving you a city. And, um, we received that camp, a multi-purpose campground.
Come ground with schools and hospitals. Come ground with university. We receive it, Lord.
Amen.
We thank you for this house, that your hand is strong upon them.
The grace for wealth rests upon this house. Thank you, Lord Jesus. It is done.
Hallelujah!
Lift your hands and give Jesus praise. Just go ahead, appreciate God for today. Appreciate God for today. Appreciate God for today.
Appreciate God for today.
Appreciate God for today. Appreciate God for today. Appreciate God for today! Appreciate God for today!
Go ahead— would you do that now?
I appreciate it up until here. Appreciate God for today! Appropriate love for me! I appreciate God for today!
I appreciate God for to go ahead, go ahead, go ahead, go ahead, go ahead, go ahead, just keep giving praise right there.
Why he'd keep giving all grace, keeping our priests going on this evening. Go ahead, don't stop, don't stop.
Thank you, Jesus.
For all you have done for us, hallelujah, we are grateful.
Let's take it two times.
We are grateful, we are grateful, we are grateful. We are grateful, we are grateful, we are thankful.
We are great.
For all you have done for us.
For all you have done.
Hallelujah!
We are grateful. Oh, we are so grateful. We are grateful.
Was it worth it? You don't know what it had to take us to have him come here. Honestly, you can't explain. You don't have an idea, the least idea about what it took us to have him come here. First date we fixed, cancelled. Second date cancelled. Third date cancelled. Fourth date cancelled. Yes, I can't make it, Pastor. I love you, but I can't make it. And I kept telling them, I said, until he fixed it, though my wife won't fix it. Every other speaker mobilized into— I didn't mix. I couldn't explain why God kept insisting. Place of prayer, have him come. As he spoke, it made a lot of sense. Made a lot of sense. In fact, as I was calling, as he was talking to me, A bishop in Texas called him and said, you have to honor my meeting. He said, Papa, what do I do? At the date I gave you, bishop in Texas just called me. So he stood there, and then that's why he can't post the flyer. That's why he asked, I hope you have not streamed on my platform, because he told me, said, if I put this meeting out, people are going to come for you. What did you do to bring this man? But I believe that this was for to somebody. I don't know who that person was. My fulfillment was not just that I was blessed. Somebody else— who gets what I'm saying? I can't promise it will happen next year. I can't promise you that. But this particular one was for somebody's sake. We have two sessions with him. This one has finished. Tomorrow is the last one. Beg everyone you know. Believe it. I, I I've like, I, I don't give, I don't give team, I don't give area of nothing like that. Just bless us, let the Lord. And every man has his dimension. You heard him say that every time he comes here is the prophetic that is at work. Honestly, the things that have been addressed today will take another 10 years for you to— you need to go back and listen to this message. You will need to pray some strategic prayers for yourself, just like I'm going to pray for my own self. Men don't just appear, they came out of seasons. He said to me, Pastor Japheth, you are a portal and you are a system in the spirit. That's why I don't take it for granted. I went with the teacher teaching of Anakazu Apostle Michael preached in 2021. I stayed on that teaching for 90 days. That fast you heard him say, tell the wife break the door if you— it was that Anakazu message that he worked with for 90 days, and the rest is history. When he came in 2023, he was nowhere. Just brought him 2021, 2020 during COVID had him come 2021, had him come 2022. 2023. Came 2023, didn't look, nobody around. It wasn't like— but you will be a witness that
More from Femi

Wisdom born from pain recruits people into bitterness, offence and wrong decisions.

Can we serve God and fail? If you’re not doing the right things,you can love God and still struggle.

The people who stand before king are not merely gifted. They are skilled and diligent in their work.

Get ready for another session of Public School with Femi Lazarus this Sunday.

If those you trust question what you see, will you still have the courage to move forward?
