MEN ALIVE CONVENTION || DAY 1 || APOSTLE FEMI LAZARUS

Okay, I'm trying to understand. Please bear with me.

Amen.

All right.

Amen. Intention of God is for man to do what?

To—

the idea of dominion is an invitation into a responsibility. God didn't give man dominion for fun. The idea of dominion is an invitation to function with God in responsibility. As a matter of fact, in Genesis 1:26, one of the renditions says that God made man in his own image to be responsible. That is, the idea of God is for a man who has a sense of responsibility who has a sense of understanding of leadership. So man, by his design— and if, if you study well Genesis 1, you will discover the Bible says that God made man in his own image, male and female created he them. So it means that the word man used there is not a gender-specific word. It refers to humanity. Is that okay now? It refers to who? Humanity. So there The idea of God is to establish a system of an extension of his government. God sits in the heavens and rules over the affairs of men. But the way he extends his rulership over the affairs of men is through individuals through which he can extend his intentions. Let me show us something quickly, and this is quite, um, an amazing thought. In that same Genesis chapter number 1 from verse 1 to 3, Genesis 1 from verse 1 to 3, the Bible says, in the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form and void, and darkness 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— what?

Painted there. Do you say God made the heavens and the earth? Then the next thing you are saying is that the earth was without form, it was shapeless, it was formless. Are we saying what God did was bad?

How do you use the word created? It means he brings— he brought— while it was empty and void, the Bible still made reference to the fact that the Spirit of God was there, meaning that God was not absent.

Then the next thing we saw in verse 3 was that his response to the chaos that was on earth was that he said, let there be what?

Light.

Only for Jesus to come and say, you You are the light of this world, meaning that whenever there is chaos, whenever there is problem, whenever things are going bad, the question is not where is God, the question is where is man.

Are you following what I'm saying here?

Can Can I come again? When things are bad, when things are not going according to the pattern of God's creation, when family system is collapsing, when the system of a nation is crumbling, the question is not, is there God in Nigeria?

The question is, where are the men?

We cannot debate the existence of God. We can debate the existence of the one he has placed as an extension of his government here. Made it clear that there was war in heaven. There was war in heaven, and the dragon and his angels fought.

They fought so hard, and the Bible said Michael and his angels fought back, meaning that God has a system to, to counterattack.

It is also very important that we master the technology of stopping everything the devil wants to do here. That sometimes you look at the family system, it's as though the devil is coming in to crumble everything. Things are so bad. Whenever there is darkness, you must understand that darkness is what occurs when light is not shining. Lift your hands where you are seated. Say, I refuse to be dormant. You see, what I've come to do tonight is to spark anger in us. We have come to a season where the anointing must meet with— meet with annoyance.

There are certain things we can never get done until we are angry enough.

So what did God do? The response of God to chaos, the response of God, the way God thought out management How can we manage everything so that when God made man, the next thing the Bible said was that God rested, meaning that everything for him to rest, he has placed it in man.

Now I can rest because I have one of my own that is an extension of my influence, that is an extension of my thought, that is an extension of my will and desire.

This is the original intention for man. So we are not here to just roam the earth and complain like every other people. Every complaint we have is tasking an aspect of our calling.

Why is everything so bad?

The question is, why have you not done the things you should do? The Bible says that the earnest expectation of creation waits, that this creation is waiting for sons to what? Manifest. You know what happened? Jesus was walking and he met a guy. The guy was born blind. No sign, no, no sign of eyes, no, no eyes in the socket, and not talking about any eyes. It's congenital deformities. And the disciples asked, who sinned? Was it this guy or the mother or the parents? Jesus said nobody sinned. He said this one is so that the glory of God will be made manifest. Meaning that there are people who are in problem waiting for those who host the glory. There is somebody somewhere who is dying of cancer, and the question is not when will they invent the drugs like that, just alone.

The question is, who carries the glory?

Enough to snatch this one from the pangs of death. And this is where we are going to—

that we become a walking carrier of God's power, a walking carrier of God's influence.

Let me tell you what influence is. Influence is the ability to infiltrate a space with your own space. Are you following what I'm saying here? That is, there is a flow of thoughts that is there, but the moment you show up, it's just like the thought process change because you are not just submitted to an atmosphere.

You yourself, you are an atmosphere. You carry an atmosphere. You have become an atmosphere that when people are thinking about death, as you show up with the atmosphere, no, it becomes life.

There was a man at a pool called the Pool of Bethesda. He's been there for 38 years. When Jesus asked the man that, do you want to be made whole? What was his response? I have no man. Hold on a minute. So the absence of men can keep a man in a spot for 38 years. He said, when I try to enter into the pool, another coming. Jesus was looking at him. The one who comes to stir the pool once in a while does so at my command. I am the water that is ever stirred.

You will not have to wait for the stirring of any pool. Pick your bed and go.

So he has been waiting before Jesus was even born. When Jesus was learning to talk, just to hear the word pick your bed and go. Somebody here will become responsible for the things going on around you. I didn't hear amen to that. Now let me, let me say this to you. The first aspect of my teaching tonight focuses on us as individuals. The second aspect of my teaching focuses on us as members of the body of Christ, particularly in Nigeria. So you have to pay attention. Now look at this, the Book of Psalms, Psalms chapter number 8, Psalms chapter number 8 from verse 6, the Book of Psalms chapter number 8 from verse 6. Now this is a very interesting scripture.

Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands. Thou hast put all things under his feet.

Now look at this. Kai, lift your right hand. Say, God has made me to have dominion over the works of his hands. Do you know what that means? It means that it is dysfunctional. It is an insult to the person. You see, this is where we are going. It insults his very nature. What is the problem of man when it comes to the— as touching the issue of dominion? The problem of man is the urge to declare independence from God. What did man do from the beginning? God told Adam, he said, there is a tree in the middle of the garden, don't eat it, don't eat it, and don't even touch— and don't eat it. Adam told the wife, said, God said don't eat, say we should not touch. The wife was deceived. Adam came, saw that she had eaten the fruit. He knew she would die, but he preferred to die alongside because the object of his attraction, the object of his love, the object of the greatest dominance in his life had become what God gave him. Listen to what I'm saying. If you ever make money your God, it will rule over you in a bad way. You must learn to differentiate between the source and the resource. Resources can change, but the source will never change. People can hand over resources to you and they can change their mind, but if you hold on to the source, you will have more than enough. This is one thing the world system does not understand.

This is the reason why the way of the cross is always foolish.

We—

our, our ways cannot be understood by them.

They look at Christians, and now we're in a season that hostility and hatred against the church is loud. As much as it is loud, it is not compulsory. You know the reason why it is loud? Because believers believe we are to be silent as a sheep going to the slaughter. I read something in Acts of the Apostles 12. The Bible said at certain times Herod stretched his hand and took James. And he killed James experimentally. He wasn't sure how they will react. And when he saw that the church was quiet, he said, ah, this is nice.

The Bible said he then stretched his hand and took Peter. Peter, the one that Jesus called the rock, the head of the movement at that time, hoping to kill him. But the Bible said the church— anytime the church reacts, the gate of hell shuts down.

We have what it takes to shut down systems.

Do you understand what I'm saying here? We are not to fold our hands and say, let God, God do as you please. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. The will don't just happen, we enforce it. We enforce it in prayer, we enforce it in actions.

We have not really failed in praying in Nigeria, but it's time to get into the action part.

Power-inspired actions.

The Bible said, but the church prayed without ceasing, and God had to send an angel to bring Peter out. Anything the church permits is permitted on earth. Anything we reject has no choice than to be rejected on earth.

If we know our power We will use it. Yes, sir.

You know, you can hear that there's a new gang, maybe of armed robbery, of kidnappings, of many things. Are you aware we can stand as a people and shut down operations? Oh, I didn't— come on, say it again.

Say, I know my authority in Christ.

I am not a victim. That's one of the most One of the most ridiculous things Christians do to themselves. You see a believer trying to explain how much he's a victim. Eh, because I was born in a poor family, because, eh, things are not so good, I came from a very poor village, I didn't have access to education. You may come from a poor family, a poor family should not come from you.

There are situations you look at, become angry and say that my children will not hear these stories. No, I will not be telling them this story as a father.

No, I want to exchange pity for value. I want money, if only you can please just pity me, just anything you can. No, no, no, no, that's not dominion. That is you subjugating the essence of what God gave you because you want to be pitied for peanuts. Has pity ever put anybody on Forbes list? The highest people can give is what will keep you coming the following day. Nobody can give you what will make you come to their level, but God can.

He blesses us lavishly. See, obtain everything you have in Christ.

Don't let the devil deceive you. Say louder: From today, I will not walk in pity. I will not walk in self-pity. I will not walk in self— I will not wait to be pitied.

I will not share stories of pity.

I will not share stories.

Use your God-given authority.

You notice there is a growth in your body, don't just say, oh, I don't know what is going on.

If you don't know what, shut it down.

Somebody comes to tell you we had a vision about you that you died, shut it down.

With long life, he will satisfy me.

You see, hear me. You must learn to respond to everything that looks like assault with anger. There are times the devil is testing you. Let's just assume you die now. Ah, nah, you now reply thought with thought and say I shall not die, but live in the name of Jesus. And that's how you get overwhelmed. And before you know it, there are thoughts overwhelming your mind. You don't even know how to get—

get up on your feet and say loud and clear, I have life. Say it again, I have life and I have it abundantly.

I have it abundantly.

Hold on a minute. We are talking about dominion. Joshua was fighting with his men and the victory was not total, but the sun was going down. Joshua stood, he said, let the sun be still over Ajalon. The sun will not hasten to go down to his place till I finish. These are the kind of confessions you must have. As believers. Is that okay now? That my sun is not permitted to set. No, till I finish. You all say gone too soon, sunset at noonday. What nonsense. Lift your right hand again. Say my sun is not permitted to set. You see, you, you are, you are not saying it in a way that represents dominion.

Yeah, say it again. My sun is not permitted to set till I finish.

Say it one more time. My son is not permitted to set till I finish. Now say it this way: Men like me don't die in a hurry. Listen, one of the things the devil used to fight people carrying big agenda upon their life is the thought of death. I want to give us the next 1 minute to shut it down. I just sense that in my spirit now. The next 1 minute, the thought of cancer, the thought of diabetes, that any nonsense, I need you to get angry.

And shut it down. We cast down imaginations. We cast down imaginations.

Every thought that is contrary to the will of God, the cause of death, the cause of sickness, the cause of shame, cast down imaginations. I pull them down by the authority city.

That's in the word of God.

I decree and I declare that I am a flyer. I am not under. I prophesy over my life that I am a—

we shut it down in the name of Jesus.

Thank you, Lord. In Jesus' mighty name we're praying. Hold on, don't sit down yet. Was it last year my wife came to my office, our church office in Ibadan, and brought one of my spiritual daughters. She was looking so sad, and I said, what's the issue? My wife said they brought out medical report of all kinds and said, this is the diagnosis they have concluded. I think she had ovarian cancer. I said, tell her to get out of my office. My wife said, what do you mean? I said, tell her to get out of my office.

Say, please pray for her.

I said, get out of my office. And after a while, my wife told her, he said you should go, just go, come back again. Then my wife came and knelt down.

What's happening? Why are you saying she should go?

I said, I don't see cancer. I don't see cancer. I don't see cancer. There are things you must refuse to see. You don't join the devil to say, I don't know what's happening to my body.

This—

some people will go as far as saying, this is my hypertension.

This—

your hypertension, your diabetes, you make it yours. Say, in the name of Jesus, today I exercise my dominion over sickness. You sickness, get out of my body. You have a minute to pray. You have a minute to pray.

Every stranger called sickness that comes to inhabit my body, you are no longer allowed. My body is a temple of the Holy Ghost. You are not permitted to stay. I charge you, go out of my body. Go out of my body. I use the blood of Jesus as I conquer the war and I declare from the blood over every sickness, over any disease, every stranger. Hear the word of the Lord. Today I declare, let the tree of sickness— I cut you down. Every tree of disease, I cut you down. Every tree of cancer, I cut you down. Every tree of pain and aches, I cut you down. You are a liar. I am a child of God. I exercise authority as a child of God. Over every antics of the devil, I pull them down. Every— against the word of God, is healed. I am the healed of the Lord. I am the strength of the Lord. I am the one the Lord has healed before I became his child. I declare you are a liar.

You have 30 more seconds.

Thank you, Lord.

In Jesus' mighty name we're praying. If there's anyone here who is moving with any verdict that is contrary to God's design, I shut it down. I stand in connection with the grace over this house. Again, I decree that thing will not survive. Please sit down for a moment. Sit down for a moment. I'm seeing someone— Daddy, permission to carry on. I'm seeing someone with second miscarriage, someone who has had miscarriage twice, I decree and declare again, affliction will not arise again.

I shut it down.

Nothing dies in your body. Nothing, nothing dies in your body. Now pay attention because the theme of this conference is Walking in Dominion. You see, not just having dominion, but walking in dominion as kings and priests. That's a very serious one. It is, it is mostly rare. So you are across scriptures, some either believe in priesthood, will pray and pray and pray, and not believe in kingship. It is amazing how that there are basic things in the body of Christ today that people still argue? Basic inheritance. He said, beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest, what, prosper. Ah, ma, come, let's stop that. Christianity is not an invitation to penury.

I said, God wants us to do what? To prosper and be in what? Health, even as our soul prospers.

You know what the Bible said in Psalms 1? He said, blessed is the man that walk— that walk not in the counsel of the ungodly. Can you please project Psalms 1, verse 1, in Amplified? It will amaze you the things that are trapped in the word blessed. Look at it. Blessed, fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God. Hold on a minute. Do you know what it means to be fortunate? When a person gets into unexpected trouble, they will say it is an unfortunate situation. To be fortunate is to collide with the right blessing at the right time. I am fortunate. I am not unfortunate. You are not saying it.

I am not unfortunate. I am blessed. Now, beyond fortunate is the word prosperous.

Let me, let me ask a very important question. How many of you have observed the way the idea of the word prosperity is under attack in the body of Christ lately? The very important question I have for you is this: you know, the devil is exploiting the pain, the bitterness, the unforgiveness in the heart of people in the body of Christ. What if there are people of other religions who have seen the division amongst us? And they are sponsoring it. Somebody somewhere just keep pushing the narrative that church people are poor people. The question is, are you poor? No, I'm asking you a very important question.

Are you poor?

This is the idea of God for the church: fortunate, prosperous, favored by God. This is still not complete. Happy is there.

Enviable.

Oh my God, you know what it means to be the envy of nations? As believers, we have fulfilled many covenant and promises and prophecies hanging over us. One of the prophecies we have not fulfilled is that we will lend to nations. Nigeria is indebted, so is America, so is Russia, so is all nations of the earth. Now imagine God setting you up as a pillar that when nations are thinking about taking loan, they think Lazarus. This is the church that Jesus is coming to meet, not a church that is owing Pampe. Ah, they've— are you following what I'm saying? They've sent messages to all the contacts you have. Beware, so-and-so person is a thief. Today you come out of that nonsense.

Hey, we must go back to the basics of Bible teaching.

Is there a wisdom in God's word for financial domination? Yes, there is a wisdom there, but many believers have failed to learn that wisdom. And when there is small pressure— borrow 13,000 there, 15,000 there, when they are disturbing, borrow loan to pay loan. When will you find the way?

When will you get the light?

Are you aware there is a light that comes upon you and you will never go to bed as a normal man again? One day, so you wake up and break into a new space. I see God giving the church the spirit of creativity. Do we have youth here?

Young people in tech, in different field, breaking into light.

And listen, the days are over that somebody will touch some small millions and go to club. Ah, we will wield those things in depth of it.

We still love God, keep our family intact, and everything is fine.

I see that generation rising from here. Are you following what I'm saying here? If you get some small change and you start missing church, you don't even know who you are. Somebody just touched on 5 million, say, well, I say I'm busy, I'm busy.

Is that 5 million what you will spend with the rest of your life? We are digging from a well that never runs dry. It cannot The church that Jesus is coming to meet is a church that understands dominion. It is a combatant church that has mastered the science of confrontation.

We are like sheep in the midst of wolves, but we are also lions in our ways. You must understand that we are like sheep in the midst of wolves But we have a lion's sight. The moment Jesus spoke about the church in Matthew 16, he said, I will build my church. The next thing he saw was the gate of hell.

He said, the gate of hell will not prevail, meaning that it is not the duty, the, the, the covenant inheritance of the church for the church to be crushed, the church to be molested, Never!

Say it again.

In my lifetime, the church will not be crushed. The church will not be crushed.

Do you, do you know what your issue is? Your issue is that you are expecting God to come down to do what he has placed you here to do. No, he's not coming down to get it done. The day you discover it is your duty, that is the day you will change the narrative. Say I hear. We have roles to play. I sense so strongly in the spirit that in these days and time, God is releasing a supernatural agitation. Hear me, there is a grace that is coming over it.

It's—

I see it every time I pray. There is something about this season for the Nigerian church. In the midst of scarcity, in the midst of famine, in the midst of, of the turmoil, when the world is saying there's a casting down, we are saying there's a lifting up. I see it strongly. Don't join them to call conspiracy. What they call conspiracy, don't join. There is no better time for us to radiate than now.

There is no better time. Hear me, in the midst of what they call chaos, you will see the Daniels, the Esthers, the Deborahs, the Josephs surging. Foundations, firm foundations that has been built. Hear me, at some point in my life, I was lecturing people mathematics. And what I discovered is that we never go back to say that the teachers who taught us simple fractions didn't know foundation so you can build on it. The moment the young generation starts seeing light, you don't call the fathers ignorant. No, they have laid a foundation. It doesn't matter what your intentions are to build, if the foundation is bad, it will defeat your intentions. If God can trust a generation to lay a foundation He trusted them with solid work, but now is the time to build on those foundations. The church in Nigeria will not be a beggarly church. The church in Nigeria will not be the church that can be pushed aside.

No!

Out of us kings and priests emerge.

Let me show you Revelation 1:6. If you are there, say amen. Oh, thank you, Lord. Look at it.

And hath made us what? And made us what?

Kings.

Somebody say kings. Say it again, kings.

So we are not just priests. You see, when God said let us make man from the very beginning, the idea of that man is a being that is a spirit that has a soul that lives in a body. The body is his earthly passport to be able to interact with this place and dominate here. As a spirit, he can also interact with the divine world and bring forth intelligence with which he will change things here.

Our dominion is strong to the degree that our alignment is strong.

As long as there is a man who is, is in touch with the intelligence of There is a man who will change the narrative here. You see, planes fly at different altitudes, but the only reason they can fly— and there are thousands of planes flying at a time all over the world— is because every plane flying is controlled, connected to something called the control tower. They tell the plane through the signals, fly at this altitude, Fly at that altitude. There is a plane about to land. Hold on a minute. Over for a while. The moment we lose control, we lose touch with the control tower, we become dysfunctional. The moment we lose touch with the control tower, we become confused. Will become agitated, will become anxious. The devil now begin to offer you what you already have because you didn't pay attention to it. Let me share a story with you. Some two boys went to an herbalist to get a charm done, and the idea of the charm is for them to get money. That was the charm. So the other one was— one was asking the other one, he said, You, what did Baba say you should do? He said Baba said you should buy— there's something they call akara, that's beans cake. Ah, you know it?

Good.

I'm in Nigeria. When they fry the akara, Baba said— the Baba said he should take the akara to the main road and pour it on the road and wait for a car to match it. Then when the car matches it, he said park the akara and then bring it to him. So when he took the akara to the man, The babalawo— what kind of money is that for what we have already in Christ?

The devil can't give you what you don't already have.

Can I say it again?

The devil cannot give you what you don't already have.

If there is fake, it is because there is original. We don't have fake $1,000 bill because there is no original. Don't be intimidated by the fake. Show the original.

Eh, people, they use us. They show the original. Show us what God can make out of a man. Show us what God can make out of a person from the scratch.

Please project for me Micah chapter number 4 from verse 1. There is an hunger in my spirit. Micah 4:1, look at it.

But in the last days it shall come to pass that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above all hills, and people shall flow to it.

Let me tell you this: there is no racism where you are a solution. There is no racism where you are—

what?

Forget about it. Look at verse 2 of this scripture quickly. Verse 2 quickly. And many nations shall come. My God, we have entered the season where a man can be a tourist attraction. They just noticed that we have to build airports in this city because of this man. The number of people flying from deep— am I seeing people here carrying that grace?

Nations shall come and look at it and say, come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord and to the house of the God of Jacob. He shall teach us of his ways.

That's dominion. That is dominion. That is dominion. When America can recognize there is a wisdom in Nigeria, let's go and learn. Hmm, there is a wisdom. There are people carrying it that will solve the problems of nations, security problems, that will come out with means. The moment the hand of God come upon you, you can't be in darkness. Do you believe that the Lord can place his hand on your life and you begin to receive insight?

Insight that will solve world economic issues.

This is what we carry as people. We are not beggarly. Say it again, we are not beggarly. Say it again, we are not beggarly. Now let me quickly show you, as I begin to round up, the danger— and this is where it gets really serious— the danger of priesthood without kingship. Do we have men in this place? This is men's convention, am I correct? I want every man in this room to stand up. Lift up your right hand where you stand. Say loud and clear, I will not just be a prayer warrior, but I will carry evidential results. Let me show you, please be seated for a moment, the danger of priesthood without kingship. 1 Samuel chapter number— 1 Kings, sorry, chapter number 19. 1 Kings chapter number 19. For the sake of, um, good understanding, I'm going to explain and I'm going to read at certain point. If you are there, say amen. Now you know what happened. Elijah had done powerful miracles. He had called down fire when the, the god of the Baal, or whatever they are called, were on strike. And right there, one man through priesthood— please pay attention— turned an entire nation back to God, and they cut the head of 400 prophets of Baal. That's priesthood. But kingship spoke. Then a woman called Jezebel said, let God do the same. This is a message to the body. Was Elijah a powerful man?

Yes, he called down fire.

But kingship is speaking. And then Elijah ran for his life. He did not just run. He got into depression. He started saying, let me die. It's not that you need to die. There is a mistake you have made. Now let me show you that same 1 Kings chapter number 19. Let me start the reading from— are you there? Let me start reading from verse Verse 14 now. And he said, I have been very jealous for the Lord God of hosts, because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down your altars, and slain your prophets with the sword. I, even I only, am left. And I— and they seek my life to take it away. No, it is not— it is not a thing of joy that you should be the only one in your class.

No.

And the Lord said to him, go. Return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus, and when thou comest, anoint Asael as king.

And Jehu the son of Nimshi and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel-moab shalt thou anoint to be prophet in your room.

Meaning that the only reason why Jezebel could intimidate you is that out of the belly where kingship and priesthood should flow, only priesthood is flowing. The Nigerian church here, we are not just to produce pastors, we anoint Jehu, we anoint Azariah. This is the move of God now. Yo, from his bowels Kings are in that loins. When he said yes to the calling, it's because there are kings that must come out, there are priests that must come out. The body of Christ will no longer suffer intimidation if we produce kings and priests. Some persecutions are not necessary. They only happen because we have failed to betted completely. What we should bet. And I sense very strongly that in this convention, God is—

he has not just called it that. This is a prophetic word. When I saw it, I screamed. This is a very, very prophetic word, that we have left the era of just priests.

In Eli, God found a priest. In Samuel, God found a priest and a prophet. In David, God found a priest, found a prophet, and found a king. That is the pattern.

We are after that order: kings, prophets, kings.

I want us to stand as men of war. And say it loud and clear. I have a role to play. You see, Nigeria is my responsibility. See, see, walk around with anger. You are not angry. You see, the problem is that many things have not gotten to boiling point. We are still coping.

We are still cool. We are still calm. I have a role. I am a—

the day you come into this awareness, what happens is that the grace of influence at this level comes. I see God raising people that their emergence will change narratives. I see people having meetings and saying, hold on a minute, they have changed now. They have woken up. They are thinking differently because a new generation of kings, a new generation of priests, a new— listen, with priesthood, we tap off the resources from above. With kingship, we rule with it here. Nobody can do it better than the one who is a king and a priest. I want to give you the next 2 minutes. Leave your comfort zone, get angry, and begin to confess.

From today, I step into my place of authority. I step into the place God has placed me. I am a king. I am a priest. My influence spread, goes across.

Somebody be on strings.

Pray, pray, pray, pray, pray. I see the spirit of insight. I see the spirit of revelation, the spirit of power, the spirit of counsel, and of the fear of the Lord. Pray. I walk in unparalleled dominion. We enter our place of authority to dominate the earth. Pray, pray, pray.

Pray.

You have one more minute.

Pray, pray, pray.

I walk in my covenant right of dominion as a king. This is my inheritance. This is my loss. Pray, pray, pray. In Jesus' mighty name we are praying. Let that amen roar like thunder. Let that amen carry a bolt of fire.

Please sit down for a minute. Sit down for a minute. Isaiah chapter number 60 from verse 1. Isaiah 60 from verse 1. I see people breaking into their space. Yes, yes. Yes, I see an army rising within sight. I see an army rising. Look at it. Arise, shine, for your light is come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. Look at verse 2. For behold, what? And, uh, the word there is not the word darkness. The word there is the word the darkness. That's a definite article making reference to a darkness you should already know. So he said, the darkness shall cover the earth and gross darkness the people. What is the darkness? Genesis 1 from verse 2, quickly. Genesis 1 from verse 2. And the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep. The same darkness that emptied from the beginning. In Isaiah 69:2, he said that same darkness will seek to come back. We see darkness in different spheres now. The act movies, they cannot but show nakedness. Don't complain about darkness, shine.

That's the way to deal with darkness. They are doing things now that is bringing corruption. Wherever there is corruption, shine, give off your light. They are producing music, music that is vulgar, one that will corrupt the minds of children. Sing your song, the darkness will cover the earth and gross darkness the people.

It didn't stop there, he said, but I love that. Hold on a minute. Somebody said anything said before 'but' is nonsense. You are a good man, I like you, but— so it means that the darkness that will cover the earth, we can discard it.

Because why? But the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

The story of the end-time church is not one that is bad.. It is the story of dominion.

Will things be bad?

Yes, there will be Egypt. But while there is Egypt, there will be Goshen.

That Egypt might be dark, they will come to learn from Goshen what is the secret of peace, of stability, of light.

Hear me, in the next coming days The testimony of believers will not just be that I built a house, but I will have men who are building cities. I have seen a glimpse of it. Who build Cities, one man will rise and bring certain solutions.

People will no longer be cut off in their prime.

But the light of the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen. This is the generation that carries that glory. This is the generation that walks in the fullness of dominion.

We are not running around like rats.

We are lions in our ways. The end time church, you cannot desire to walk in dominion and be timid.

Be thou—

I will not be out of love, of power, of a sound mind, that we can audaciously say, give me this mountain. Enough of timidity from Christians. We are not running about begging around for solution like them.

We are not the same thing. Say it again: I am bold.

When you have the time, read Joel chapter number 2. The kind of army the Bible described in the last days is not the kind that can be intimidated. No, it is the kind that confronts and change systems. From today, begin to make demands for the kind of things you have not made demands for, because your light has come. I stretch my hands towards this house in connection with the grace upon our Papa, that anyone here who has been crawling, the time has come for you to fly. Anyone who has been running up and down, away from tribulation, The time has come for you to mount up with wings like eagles.

From today, the kingship and the priesthood dimension upon your life speaks.

Yes, in the name of Jesus, it is done. In Jesus' mighty name. Thank you so much, Daddy.

Listen, listen to me. Part of what I was saying last Sunday is what you are hearing now. Why should the richest man on earth be a man who does not know God? The richest man in Africa is a Muslim. Why? Because We have— let me use his language— we have priests but no kings. Listen to me, there is no nation on earth that prays like Nigeria. You know dey o?

None.

But Nigeria is the poorest country in the world. The fault is with the church. The church does not understand that we must have kings in the business world, ruling kings in the academic world, kings in, in, in, in the judiciary, kings, kings everywhere. We have priests But where are the kings? Two weeks ago, a judge in this country, a Muslim judge, came to my office and he said, I want your prayer. Yeah, he said it is your prayer that keeps this city. He said when God looks at worry, it is you that he sees. We don't lack the priests. We lack the kings. To produce the kings, we must begin to think like kings and queens. But as we start thinking like that We must ask God for supernatural ideas.

Listen to me.

The nation of Israel is less than—

whoo—

million like that, surrounded by over 300 people— 300 million, sorry. Surrounding them, but they are surviving.

The level—

most of what this world is enjoying today are created by Israelites, Jews. Why Russia has not crushed Ukraine yet, and I do not see them doing it. Do you know that the president of Ukraine, Femi Lazarus, is a Jew? Most people in this world don't know what I just said now. That boy, he get this thing, he get number 6. And now only God, na indi give that kind thing. That is why Ukraine is still standing, because he's carrying something. What is wrong with us?

We have what it takes.

When you begin to see Christians, real Christians— I don't mean this half-assed thing, we just joke with our lives, we don't even know what we want— I am talking about real Believers, they take over the space with their own space.

You can't help but listen to them.

If a born-again, Spirit-filled, tongue-talking child of God— let me generalize down. Is in a top position of power in Nigeria. Somebody who knows who it is. It must go like this. Sometimes before he say it, it will come—

he will come to people like us and say, put your hand on my head, there is something heavy I want to say.

We will lay hands on him, then he will go and say it, and nobody, nobody can stop it.

That is dominion.

That's what you are talking about.

We take charge.

Nigeria should listen to us.

Nigeria can work, but it will take people who carry this light.

The only two things that are wrong with the rich, powerful unbeliever— I didn't say he's Sunday. Two little things. Number one, they are not going to heaven. Okay, yet, let me add that, because who knows, you know what I mean? But as at this moment, they are not going. You have a guarantee of heaven. Beautiful. They are not going. Number two, The wealth they have has no guarantee that it will stay. There is no guarantee that it will go from generation to generation. That is why in this country Look back, there are huge names that have ruled the space of wealth, of business.

Where are they?

They have died. Where is Where is all that wealth? Where is all that business? It's gone. But the ones you are talking about that are going to rise out of the church, if Jesus tarries, it will not be so. What we carry will carry us, carry the next generation, carry another generation.

I don't be hearing like fire.

Let me—

thank you, thank you. What a way to open a convention. President of men alive. You should thank this and appreciate God and appreciate— we're going to take an offering in one moment, but do Do you know that one idea, one idea will bring solution? You said it. Just one idea. Go and check how many people have won the Nobel Prize. You'll be shocked that it's about 70 at least percent are Jews in every field. Some are Russian Jews, some— but they are Jews. The church is loaded, but we don't even know. Just one idea will change everything. One idea, one idea.

He said a man can build a city. It's possible now.

One idea can bring the resources that will change everything. I've been trying to build a university. For how many years now we are still trying to— do you know one man can just rise up and say, Papa, how much will it cost to build the university? I was saying on Sunday, a woman in America, in New York to be specific, Her husband died and left her billions. She used to lecture in a medical school in New York, and incidentally, the head of that school is a Nigerian. And, and she took $4 billion, gave to him. He said, look, from now till this money is exhausted, everyone that applies to this school to study medicine, studies free. I have not checked, but you may just find out that she's a Jew. It's incredible, but we are spiritual Jews. Most of you are looking at me as if I'm from another world, but what I'm telling you is real. It is real. Your light must shine.

I said your light must shine. Oh, if you believe me, let me hear your amen like fire.

Take an offering.

Take some—

something from your purse, from your pocket. You're going to give right now. Father, I bless what your children are bringing. Do for them what they cannot do for themselves, in the name of God the Father the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Let me hear your amen very powerfully. All right, come and drop your offering.

We are a chosen generation called to show his excellence. All I require for life God has given me. I know who I am. We are a chosen generation. We are a chosen generation. Called forth, all I require for life. I know who I am. We are a chosen generation. Called forth, all I require for life. Go! I know who God says I am. Yes, oh! I know what he says I am, where he says I'm at. I know who God says I am— What he say? Where he sees I'm at! Yeah!

Say it!

I'm walking in power, favor, miracles every day!

Because I don't fear him anymore!

Walking in miracle!

I live a life of favor because I know who I am!

Working in power! I'm working a miracle.

I live a life of favor.

Take a look at me, I'm a wonder. It doesn't matter what you see now. Say, I see his glory. Tell your neighbor, say, take a look at me, I'm a wonder.

Yes, now I see his glory.

Grab a neighbor, say, take a look at me. It doesn't matter what you see now, see his glory. I'm a wonder. Take a look at me, I'm a wonder. Yeah, doesn't matter what you see now. Now listen, you're going to make this declaration prophetically. It doesn't matter what you look like right now. You're going to say, you're going to take a good look at me, I am a wonder. Are you ready? Come on, grab your partner. Are you ready? Say
