Ownership Conference 2025 - Day 2 [Morning] || Apostle Femi Lazarus || South Africa

Good morning, South Africa!

Amen.

Please, before we sit down again, help me celebrate the angels over this house. Thank you, sir. Thank you, ma. It's true, we recently just started talking, but every time it feels like I've known Apostle all my life, you know, and I, I feel so at home here. That's, that's it. Um, usually I take my time to settle into a new environment. But there's just something about this place that makes me feel like I was born here.

And it's true.

One of the hard things I've learned in ministry is that people can invite you for a meeting and really they don't really like you.

Yes.

The level of freedom you experience in a house is a product of the disposition of the host towards you.

Yes.

So I want to thank you, Sanma. Thank you for so much love. You know, ideally it's not my custom to sit around table as we sat down yesterday. And just eat. But this is just home, and it was so easy to do that. I want to thank you again, Sadma.

Thank you, thank you.

And I want to thank God for all God's servants here, senior pastors, leaders of ministries. Can we give them a big, big hand? And, um, this is Heritage Day, right? So I'm glad I came at the right time. So tonight I can't wait to see what's going to happen and see the beautiful South Africa in a different shade entirely. Nigeria might be called the giant of Africa, but I believe that South Africa is the mother of Africa. And I'll tell you why. When South Africa bled, we bled. When South Africa cried, we cried. When you experience freedom, we're all set free. So there's such a very powerful hold that this nation has on the continent of Africa and even the world. I believe one of the greatest leaders the world has ever seen till date came from this country. Nelson Mandela. Until tomorrow, we are still trusting God that a man like that will rise amongst us. So we are grateful. Let's put our hands together for ourselves.

Thank you.

Please, you may be seated. Thank you so much, choir. Thank you. Man, these guys can sing.

Amen.

I want to quickly show you something very important that, um, God laid in my heart. And what I want to teach this morning might be quite challenging, but I know we have the spine and they have to take it. Are we ready? Turn your Bibles quickly, the book of 2 Kings chapter number 4. 2 Kings. I spoke yesterday, which is where I'm still going to continue. Are you, are you with me? 2 Kings chapter number 4. Turn your Bibles there. If you're there, say amen. All right, let me Let's start the reading from verse 1. Discerning your Kairos through prayer. Please pay very important attention. This is a very important morning. Look at the story. Now there cried a, a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elijah. So the wife of this guy who happened to be in ministry, went to cry to— permit me to use the word— maybe the senior pastor in the land, or the father in the land, Elisha, as at that time. And look at what she said. She said this, saying, thy servant, my husband, is dead. Now I mean, if you are in ministry and somebody comes to tell you that your spiritual son, or the one who ought to be your spiritual son, is dead— and it's not like he died recently, it's that it's— he's been dead and you didn't even know. Not because you were not in tune with God. It tells you that Whoever that guy was, he wasn't really a son. I'm going somewhere. And thou knowest that thy servant did fear the Lord, and creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be bondmen.

Yes.

And Elisha said unto her, what shall I do for thee? Now look at this. Um, there are many things to unpack. Are you with me? From the first verse, number one, the wife of this guy that the Bible burned as the one of the sons of the prophet said to Elijah, your servant. That's it. You want to mark that in your Bible because we're going to get there. Then she now said My husband is dead, and there are things that God scattered in his lifetime that could not be repaired while he was alive. Now that he is dead, let's try see if we can fix the things that can be fixed while he is alive. I make bold to tell you this: there are men that the quality of life they are living, the quality of decisions they are making, the way they choose to place those that they should honor in their life The damage they will create may not be repairable in their lifetime. There are homes that you can't repair that home possibly till the man dies. Have you seen men that come to church, they have a pastor, they have a pastor's wife, they are maltreating their wives, they are abusing their children, they are making them suffer, they are doing terrible things, but you dare not tell their pastor? They tell the woman, he's my pastor. The day you go, tell him about this home. So let me tell you a story. A friend of mine shared this story with me, and it's a very touching story. He was living in a house. The landlord of the house was sick, and he was at the point of death. They were running you know, up and down in the hospital trying to get blood for blood transfusion. And while they were running up and down, the wife called him. I said, what? Say, let him die. Says, trouble is too much, let him die. Listen, be careful so you don't become the weapon fashioned against your own house. If you sincerely— now, as a church, let's assume there's a provision in Bible that after every 10 years or 5 years of marriage, marriages can go on halftime. You watch football, you know halftime, go on break, then you can choose to come back or not come back. It is then you will know the sincere truth. But you know, something caught my attention. While the man was dead, she referred to him as a servant of Elijah. Let's start from there. Do you remember when Elijah was about to go, there were some set of guys, sons of the prophet, they asked the question to Elijah, They said, do you know that today God is about to take away your master? Not our master, your master. We are around, but we answer to nobody. So he's your master from you today. Elisha said, I know. He told you, peace. The one who couldn't call Elijah master In his death, the wife called Elisha master. Do you understand the message? While he was alive, Elijah that gave mantle to Elisha, they were too big to call him master. But the one that they were in the same generation After his death, the wife said, 'Your servant.' Listen, one of the best things that can happen to you in life is for you to know your captain early. If your journey will be fast, God will fasten you to a chariot early. If you miss the chariot, you will have to submit under those who didn't miss it. I tell you a quick story. Life is full of lessons and repetition of classes. If you read Genesis chapter number 32, Genesis 33, that was when Jacob was preparing to go back to Esau. I've seen the story where they try to reunite after several years of disagreement and running from Esau. And after I met Esau and all that, the Bible said at some point Jacob was left alone. Can I have a brother? Just one, please come. And that night, for the first time in the life of Jacob, he was left alone. And the Bible said there stood an angel. If you read Genesis 48, he said God wrestled with him. And when he saw that he couldn't win, he removed the olor of his thigh. I'm going to tell you what that means. He He got it out of joint, and Jacob began to limp. The problem of his life before was that he was too fast. So he dealt with that weakness and then got it out of joint. And Jacob said, I will not let you go except you bless me. What does that tell us? The drama he performed in Genesis 27, you know the drama? Where he put on a coat and light, that is Esau. He knew he didn't get the blessing.

He knew.

So he said, I won't let you go unless you bless me. Then the Lord said, in Genesis 27, when you came, you were asked just one question. 20 years after, I will ask you the same question.

What's your name?

20 years ago you said Esau. It took Jacob over 20 years to answer what is your name correctly, and the moment he said Jacob, then he said, your name shall no more be called Jacob but Israel, for as a prince You have power with God and with men, and he blessed you. That was a class he was repeating, and it took him years. There is time appointed for everything to happen. If you don't have the correct disposition and that time goes you will have to repeat it. And unfortunately, not many live long enough to retake their classes. First, a prophet, premature death. Not only so, it was so much in poverty that he died owing. Not only so, now they are coming to take his children and Look at the shocking thing. Probably he died of hypertension. The Bible didn't really tell us the cause of death, but medicine didn't just start today. There must have been reasons then too that there was no advanced medicine to explain. One instruction from Elisha solved it. Could it be that one instruction in his lifetime, if he was properly correct connected, would have saved him from premature death? Could it be? The most dangerous thing that can happen to a man is for a man to be without accountability. That there's nobody in your life that can tell you, don't do that. That there's nobody in your life that can tell you, don't go there, sit for a while, pray. All right, you see Um, thank you, sir. I have a spiritual father, and it's one of the cultures I like about this house. When I see people come out and acknowledge the fact that they are being fathered, it's training. It's a sign that something is going on right. And I tell you something, There are people who have labored over people till God lifted those people. You can become richer than your father, but everything needed to mature you and to preserve you has been placed there. So fatherhood is not determined by wealth or size of congregation. It is determined by grace. Um, you see, pride is not sustainable, and I'll tell you why. Because God humbles the proud. So nobody can sustain it eternally. At some point, anybody who is arrogant will be humbled in his lifetime. At some point, at some point, at some point. And I was asking myself, one, one instruction, one, one instruction from Elisha solved the problem. Why after his death? Why not in his lifetime? What God wants to do in your life, will you be humble enough for it to be done while you are alive? I was in a place one time. I went to preach somewhere, and while I was preaching A very elderly preacher walked in, very old, elderly, and came into that place, and I recognized him, and I was afraid because I was in a meeting years ago where that same old preacher anointed a young minister. The old preacher is still burning for the Lord, but the young minister had long left the calling. Apostle said something about a generation that dishonors fathers. If you don't find anything to honor in a person's life, honor the grace that have made them do this thing for long.

Yes, sir.

See, there are temptations that are not yours because you are too broke to afford it. See, see, see, see, keep what I've said in your pocket. One day you will remember. Do you know how to survive opposition? Then do you know how to survive increase? Did you read your Bible that when a man builds his house, both the wise and the foolish, 3 elements tested it: the rain, the flood, and the wind. The wind is contrary, but the rain is a blessing. Isaiah 55:10: As the rain and the snow will not return back to heaven, but that waters the earth, that it may make it bring forth bud and what flourish, that may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater. So when the rain falls, it waters, it's a blessing. But here the Bible says even the blessing checks the quality of what you have built. What is the flood? The flood is the rain, the product of the rain you have no structure to manage. When blessings begin to come, you need both internal and external structure. You need an environment that keeps reminding you You are mortal. Let me give you a quick illustration. Can I tell you this? In the Bible, there is only one promise attached to longevity. It is honor. Let me show you. Can I have 3 brothers please come? Let's come to the altar quickly. Don't mind me, I like to preach close to people. Come quickly, 3. I want to show you something. Never forget this illustration in your lifetime. Are you ready? Please come stand here. Face that side. Please stand behind him.

Thank you.

Yeah, now look at this. This is what a man looks like. The word man is an acronym of three— I'm not giving you etymology, I'm just telling you, all right? It's an acronym of three different words. M for morning, A for afternoon and N for night. These are the 3 seasons in a man's life: morning, night— morning season, afternoon season, and what? Night season. The morning is the season of beauty, the season of dream, the season of ambition. The afternoon is the season of execution. If you have good dreams in the morning, you do good works and execute them in the afternoon. The night is the phase of rest. So if your dreams are bad in the morning, you do a wrong work in the afternoon, you will not rest at night. Listen, listen. Morning plus afternoon is day. Is that okay now? What is day? That's when your sun is still bright. Don't forget, if you read Genesis 33, when Jacob was done fighting the angel, the Bible said, and the sun rose over him, meaning that whatever his age was, that was when his day started. Pay attention now. Um, the Bible—

the—

so the Bible also said, though weeping endures for the night, so the night also is not just a chronological season, it is also a time of despair and gloominess. So even though weeping endures for the night, joy comes in the morning. For instance, a person can be 20 years old and yet is already at night. Somebody can be very fine in the day, everything is going well, and one medical report is showing the person it's already night. You are about to go now. You have 3 more months to live. You have 2 more months to live. Listen, if you are not careful, night can come at any time. But look at what the Bible says. It said Honor your father and your mother, that your day may be long. What you think about is that your life will be long. No, the season of your life of beauty and when the sun is rising will be longer than your night. Listen, somebody can be 80 and is still in the day, and one is 30, is already at night. If you know how to walk in honor— you see, this combines more than longevity now, because he says the day will be what?

Long.

But the principle tied to it is what? Honor. It doesn't cut from you.

There is a generation that despise their father and curse their mothers. The Bible said their light is put out in the day. I wish we understand this, that nothing— and I, I say this with so much pain in my heart I'll say it anyways. There might be many things to learn from ministries in Nigeria. Please don't learn dishonor and don't learn bitterness. Let me tell you a story. One time, Peter— Jesus was speaking and said he's going to tell you guys the sheep. According to scripture, smite the shepherd, the sheep will scatter. And they say all of you will be offended at me tonight. Peter held Jesus and said, even if everybody leaves you, I can never. Then Jesus looked at him and said, I didn't want to tell you before, I'm going to tell you now. Before the rooster will crow 3 times, you will deny me. And Peter said, Instead of— what should he have said? I receive grace, please pray for me. You know what he said? He said, never. And, um, he kept— it was a tiny girl, a small girl, that said to him, ah, are you not one of them? He said, me, me, I swear to God.

Second time again, he swore.

Third time, then he remembered. You know, when they heard that Judas had betrayed Jesus, Peter must have been in that meeting where he said, we'll deal with him. But all of a sudden Same day, same day, he has done something worse. Judas betrayed him under pressure for money. He denied Jesus without pressure. Listen, I want to give you a warning. Even if you have a father that failed As long as you have not reached his age, where it is certain you didn't fail at that age, you can't point fingers. Once you hear that people are falling and you begin to point fingers, you are saying, whatever made them fall, come for me too. That's what you're saying. Whatever it is, say, come and check me out, I'm strong.

Come and check Hey, hey!

Zechariah 4:6: It is not by might nor power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord. Lift your two hands, say, Lord, I receive grace. Can I hear somebody pray it in just one minute?

Pray it now! I receive grace! I receive grace. I receive grace. The grace that keeps men, the grace that sustains men, the grace that holds men, the grace that keeps men till the end. I want to give you 2 more minutes. Pray the sustaining grace, the grace that keeps. Lord, help me. Inamonte laba kapa. Grace that keeps men in ministry. Grace that holds men till the end. Grace that keeps men untouchable and spotless from the corruption of this world. Give me grace, Lord. I receive grace. I drink from the ocean of grace. I drink from the waters of grace. I receive grace. You have one more minute. You have one more minute.

Pray.

Pray, Zach Kingsman.

Aah!

Aah! Aah! Eh! Eh!

Aah! Aah!

Thank you, Lord Jesus. In Jesus' name we pray. Sit down, but lift your hands where you're seated and all eyes closed. I want us to truly open our heart to the Lord in humility and say, Lord, fill my heart with grace and love. Fill my heart with grace and love. I want you to do that heart-to-heart connection now.

Falling in love with Jesus. Falling in love with Jesus. Falling in love with Jesus.— is the best thing I've ever, ever done.

One more time.

Falling in love with Jesus. Falling in love with Jesus. Falling in love with Jesus is the best thing I've ever, ever done. In his hands, in his hands, I feel protected in his hands, in his hands. Never peace connected in his hands. I feel protected, and there's no place I'd rather Heavenly, ah, Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Ah, Father, who Who art in heaven, forgive our sins.

Now listen, I want to call a very strange altar call. If you're here and at some point in your life you mocked somebody who who fell or spoke evil at some point. And maybe now you are looking at your life and saying, ah, even in this area, me too. Now I need grace. Come out quickly, don't hide it. I won't beg you. You look, something has happened. You find yourself in the seat of the scornful. Somebody has made a mistake, maybe your dad or your mom or a pastor. You joined them, you did this. Now you are looking at your life and say, oh no, 'Ah, no, no, I should not have.' That— it takes humility to come out for something like this. Go on your knees and obtain grace.

Though we are few, we're surrounded by many who had walked this river before. This is the song That will be singing forever. Oh, leave the Lord. Oh, leave the Lord. Though we are few, we're surrounded by many. What was this river before? This is the song that we'll be singing forever. Oh, leads the Lord. Oh, leads the Lord. We will stand in the golden city, in the New Jerusalem. All our fields and all our tears will be no more. We will stand with the host of heaven and cry holy, holy, holy. Holy, holy, holy is the Lamb. We will stand in the Golden City, in the New Jerusalem. All our fears and all our tears will be no more. We will stand with the host of heaven and cry, holy is the land. Holy, holy, holy is the land. We will stand in the golden building, sitting in the New Jerusalem. All our fears and all our tears will be no more. We will stand in the host of heaven and cry, holy is the Lamb. Holy, holy, holy is the Lamb.

Lift your hands, say after me, say, Lord, I receive grace. In Jude, verse 22 or 24, says, unto him that is able to keep us from falling and present us spotless before our Father. Say, Lord, I receive grace to stand. Say, Lord, I receive grace to endure. Say, Lord, I receive grace to forgive.

I receive grace to let go every pain, every bitterness, every resentment, every hostility in my heart.

This morning I let go. Is administering grace, is administering grace, is administering grace, is healing and mending broken hearts, is restoring lost fellowships.

The graces that went numb He's fanning them to flame even at this moment. All the dimensions that used to be present in your life, it is back. The presence used to experience, it is back. You are back to the place of the waters. You are back to the place of the glory. You are back to the place of power. You are back to the place of his presence. It is back. You will no longer be dry. The days of dryness are over.

You are back!

Unto him that is able to keep you from falling.

It is back!

The working of miracles is back. The gift of prophecy is back. Healings is back. Interpretation of tongues. Oh, we give you all the praise.

Thank you, Lord Jesus.

God of Abraham, you're the God of covenants, faithful promises. Time and time again, you have proven you do just what you say. Though the storm may blow and the wind may howl, Spirit, when you speak a word, it will come to pass. Yes, great is Great is your faithfulness to me. Great is your faithfulness to me. Till the setting sun, praise your name. Great is your faithfulness.

There's a lady here, I'd like to pray for you now if you don't mind. There is very firm hatred between you and your mom. You, you are— you, you, you don't even want to have any relationship at all. You so much disconnect. You are bitter, you are sad. Please come quickly, please, I beg you. One of the ways the devil translates generational battles is through bitterness. Either the Son of God has made free this morning— is free indeed.

Please come, come, come.

Don't worry.

Don't worry, don't worry.

For we have not an high priest that cannot be touched with the feelings of our infirmities, though he was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us now therefore come boldly before the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in times of need. There's a young man also in the congregation. You pack your things and left your father's house, and you told him you will never see him again. I don't know who you are, but the Lord wants to help you this morning. Will you please, wherever you are, join these people now quickly? You said you would never see him again. It gives grace to let go. It gives grace. Some things are deep. I'm not here to judge you. I know what pain is firsthand. I know what pain is firsthand. Some things are deep, but there is a God who can take care of it, and that's why he's here to help you. And I see oil being poured on heads right now. It's the balm of Gilead. It's the oil of healing. Pouring into your heart, melting out sorrow, pain, those sleepless nights, those anguish you've been through.

He saw it all.

You took my pain, you made me whole. Oh, at the feet Oh, you take my shame, you made me whole, whole at the cross where you died for me. And his glory appeared Like a light from the sun, edge to edge it shines. Oh, look to the sky, hear the angels cry, singing holy, holy, holy. Levi, the Lord, and his glory appears like a light from the sun. Edge to edge, it shines. Oh, look to the sky, hear the angels crying, singing holy, holy, holy is the Lord.

Thank you, Lord Jesus. Lift your right hand. And say, I let go. Call their names, whoever that person is. Mention the person's name. Say, today I forgive you and I accept you back into my heart. For some of you, you have to say, from now going forward, I will do my duty as a daughter I will do my duty as a son. Um, can somebody help me stand behind this lady? The hand of God is very strong upon her. There's a new season that is coming. It has been delayed for a while, but through this decision, it is happening now. By the power in the name of Jesus, a new season is breaking over you now. It's been in that for a while, but hear the voice of the Lord. The clogs are out of the way. Now there can be speed in the name of Jesus. Mention the person's name. Say, I let go, I forgive you. Ah, those of us who are on our knees, please, we can go back quickly. You can go back. Those on their knees, you can go back. The Lord is doing a very deep work in our midst this morning. Um, there are people seated here, your own current situation is church hot.

You've been bruised, battered, and broken.

Maybe for somebody, somehow, somebody you trusted, a man of God, took advantage of you.

You have been sad, you've been hateful, you doubt everything called church. And maybe you were thrown out unjustly. And rejected.

You went through situation or you lost someone and nobody catered for you, and here now comes bitterness and is hindering what God wants to do. I beg you in the name of Jesus, join them quickly so I can pray with you.

Join them.

And it's glory Like a light from the sun, edge to edge it shines. Oh, look to the sky.

The hand of God is so strong upon her. Can you bring her to me? Bring her to me. Come. It is the beginning of a new— God has been signaling it to your spirit.

Pay attention. Step into it through prayer.

It's a new season.

You took my pain, you made me whole. Oh, at the cross where you died for me. You took my shame, you made me whole. Oh, at the cross where you died for me.— and his glory appears like a light from the sun. Edge to edge it shines. Oh, look to the sky. Aye, the angels cry, singing holy, holy, holy is the Lord.

There is a guy in the auditorium, a pastor's child. You are a pastor's child, you are badly hurt by the church, really broken. In fact, you don't even believe in your dad, anything he's doing. You look at him and say, what's this? God wants to restore you. Although you are angry, but you are still in line to make things right. The grace of God has found you.

You are God's chosen one, and you will not live out of bitterness. There is a call hanging over your head, and you can't leave.

I would have loved to see the guy. Where are you? Can you raise your hand? Can I see the guy quickly? I'll pray for you codedly, don't worry. Let the guy wave. Can I see the person? I'm seeing one hand up, but I don't know if— ask him, can you help me ask him? Where's the guy? The guy's here.

Where?

You took my pain.

Don't worry, don't climb up, just come.

You made me whole.

Is there anyone else?

At the cross where you died for me.

Listen, today for you is like the day Jacob finally got reconnected to the blessing. Grace rests in families. I don't know what has happened, but God is making things right through you. There's an anointing that comes upon your life today. I don't just lay hands on people. Pay attention to that grace. You walk in forgiveness in humility and restore fellowship, because the same God is still calling you to. Let the hand of God rest upon your heads. Fresh fire for your own generation. Fresh fire. You will correct what has gone wrong by the grace of the Lord. Come, my friend. Let the hand of the Lord rest upon you. Fresh grace. Fresh grace, help from above. Thank you, Lord Jesus. To everyone who is standing here, the balm of Gilead himself heals your heart. There are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 families here where there are certain sicknesses that flows, and because you have been disconnected um, diabetes one, delay that plagues that place, because you have been exempted.

I cast out that spirit. Loose them now and let them go now. Get out, out, out of them now. Get out, get out. Touch not this body. Lose her now from the crown of your head to the sole of your feet. Get out. I'm seeing chains around legs. Those chains are cut by fire.

Out!

You are exempted and detached. Detached from the nonsense. He that the Son of God has made free is free indeed. I set you free by the power and the authority in the name of Jesus. Be free now! You're free! Now hear this. Help them. The Lord asked me to make a pronouncement of speed and open heavens. Now I speak as I've been commanded, as one called of the Lord, over these families, over this lineage, over your homes. Let the heavens be open now. Everyone, please, you have to—

ushers, you have to really watch because people might feel like running.

Who has been tied to a location for so long, by the power and the authority in the name of Jesus, speed! I say speed! I say again, speed! I said again, speed! I said again, speed! I said again, speed! I said again, speed! I said again, speed! I said again, speed!

Stagnation Is broken.

Stagnation is broken. Stagnation is broken. Oppression is broken.

I am speed now.

This is the moment it finally ends.

I'm seeing Jesus.

I'm seeing someone.

This is a cop.

But this cup is filled with death, with, with, with filth. And it's as though people are made to drink of that cup and drink up. Once they drink, they start pursuing women.

I'm sorry, this is the case I'm seeing. But hear the voice of the Lord on the bill of grace. That cup has passed over you. After this pronouncement What you've not been able to achieve before, get it done. It is done. The floors are open now. Thank you, Lord Jesus.

Can we rejoice?

Thank you. You can go back to your seat for a moment.

God of Abraham. You're the God of covenant, faithful promises.

Can you sing it?

Time and time again, you have proven you do just what you say. Though the storm may and the wind may, may stand When you speak, it will come to pass. Great is your faithfulness to me.

Great is Come on, sing it as loud as you can.

Femi Lazarus. Is your faithfulness Great is your faithfulness. Amen.

Now listen, I'm just going to share one more scripture. I'm waiting for my timer, then I can— I believe that all God has set me to do this morning is to water the ground ahead of evening. I don't know why, but I sense very strong angelic presence. Yes, there is something about what is about to happen this evening that is connected to destinies. Yes, there's something about it. And I believe God has mightily prepared his servant for that. Let me show you a scripture, and I, I want to beg that same 2 Kings 4. Let's start the reading from Verse 8.

We bless you, Lord, you are holy. You know the song? And forever you are God.

Lift your hands and sing.

We bless you, Lord, you are holy. Aya, aya. And forever We bless you, Lord, you are holy. We bless you, Lord, you are holy.

We bless you, Lord, you are holy.

Aye, and forever. Hallelujah, you are God.

Amen.

Hallelujah, oh. Hallelujah, oh. Hey, forever.

You know, I wanted to read that scripture, but a word keeps coming to my spirit, and I'll tell you the word: the rise of new voices.

Choir.

You guys have to pay attention. You are going to begin to receive sounds that will break through different continents. Yeah, there's a young pastor here who is into crusades. Hey, where are you? Come.

Crusades.

Yes.

What I want to decree over you is not just going to bring more miracles than you've seen, but also Strange dimension of partnership and visibility upon that work. From the first person to the last, I stretch my hands towards you.

Fire, touch, touch, touch, touch, touch, in the name of Jesus. Fire.

There's gonna be strange miracles miracles and obedience to the faith in your meetings. In the days of his power, the people are willing. You have entered the days of power. You have spoken before, but there's something called 'Hear ye him anointing.' that now when you speak— can you reduce the keyboard a bit? It is the one who made ears that can tell the ears what to listen to. You will be heard. You will be heard. I don't know who amongst you, but I see the Lord sending somebody amongst you, um, doing so much work among the whites in Europe. So much, so much work, so much. God is opening you up to that area and is opening that environment to you. Touch in the name of Jesus, whoever that is, that the fire of the Lord rest there. Thank you, Lord Jesus. I would have loved to pray for one person also. You run like an healing meeting. People have tried to talk you out of it, but for some reasons you still run it. Healing, like healing school, healing meeting. Who is the person healing? You're on healing meeting, come. But there's one more. Is it healing school? Ah, hey, this side. Are you, are you coming? Yes, come. Yeah, yes, come join them. There is the grace for Yes, yes. Please stretch out your hands, everyone. Like a wind, let the grace for this dimension on a new level, on a new level entirely. The kind of healings you have not seen through your hand, God has told you, pay attention. To the ministry of Kathryn Kuhlman again and again and again and again. Pay attention to it. And that's the word, it's giving you that instruction. Pay attention to it because there's something there coming upon your life. Let a fire for healing strange kind of sicknesses from the first to the last, I command in the name of Jesus Take it, take it, take it, take it, take it, take it, take it now in the name of Jesus. Fresh anointing, fresh fire, it rests upon you. I don't know, is there anyone amongst you here that has a pregnant wife? Somebody whose wife is A wife. I'm seeing a woman. You know, sometimes words come like this and the husband doesn't even know that the baby is there already. There's a wife of a pastor whose voice God is raising in marriage ministry. It's going to be a penetrating voice of audacity that will break through barriers. And cultural divides in this place. The grace is on you already and it's been released. Thank you, Lord Jesus. It's done. Please sit for a moment. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Let me read— let's read this scripture. As I prepare to tidy up. Um, 2 Kings chapter number 4 from verse 8. 2 Kings 4 from verse 8. Very interesting story. And it fell on that day that Elisha passed to Shunem. Femi Lazarus, a great woman. You find out why they said the woman is great, or was great. She constrained him to eat bread, and so it was that as he passed by, he turned in tither. If a man of God visits a person twice, it means the person understands honor. The Bible said it is better to live in the corner of a house step than to be with a contentious woman. Have you seen people that they will give you food, oh, but you will hate yourself for eating the food? They are insulting, they are cranky, they, they treat the food as if they are the ones to give you eternal life. But I know South Africa is a very hospitable land, so I thank God for you. But I've seen things. Um, do you people eat swallow here? Swallow? Pounder? Pounder? Do you eat pound swallow, semo, wheat, and all the stuff? I went to visit somebody Ah yeah, they gave me swallow with egg. You don't understand the gist. When I sat down, I looked at it, I said, for God, I'm not a deity, this is not sacrifice. You know, it's your philosophy, I've been offered to a deity, ah no, sacrifice. Ah, I'm human. I got the message, they don't want me here. Listen, there is such a thing. There's a big connection between people's seasons and honor. There's a big connection. Look at it. So the man of God felt so convenient every time to check by and say, ah, I'm coming to town. Because not only was she giving him food, she was doing it with grace, with so much love. You know, you get what I'm saying? One time I went to visit my— oh, my uncle's, and he wasn't at home. It was the wife I met. She was eating grilled meat. You know, like a venison. And as I entered— in Nigeria we call it suya— as I entered the sitting room, the anointing of the grilled meat was everywhere. So it is— so she kept it under the chair. So I sat down beside her. They eat from the meat was eating my leg. So I was greeting. She thought I will leave. I, I will stay here. I'm not going.

She—

I will be talking. She wants the convention to go down so I could— I did not leave. I stayed. She was angry. I stayed there. It won't cost you anything to be your hospitable.

Oh yes.

So she kept constraining him. Look at the next verse, in verse 9. And she said to her husband, behold, now I perceive that this is an holy man of God which passeth by us continually. Let us make a little chamber, I pray on the wall. Let us set for him there a bed and a table and a stool and a candlestick. And it will be that when he cometh to us, he shall turn into that. I said, sir, you know, the way he comes and eat and go by— said, I think we have the capacity to do more. It is not honor if you have the capacity to do more, you don't do it. And she didn't push it on the husband. She said, I perceive. You see why the Bible called that great? There are women that are the reason why their husbands hate church, because they keep making the husband feel unimportant. If you want your husband to serve God in your home, honor him. Honor your pastor, is that okay? Honor your man of God, but honor your husband. Because there are husbands that feel threatened that every time you're talking about your pastor, talking about your pastor. When me, when I got married, there's a guy my wife used to hear the song in our house. Every morning my wife will wake up and be singing a song. Say, hey, come and sing. You are, you are singing the song of a man like me. Femi Lazarus, why is he only song? Only song. I said, I'm going to enter the studio, I'll go and sing too. The guy was invading my home. In the kitchen, my wife is playing a song. When she wakes up, she's playing a song. Is he the only person who is singing? So I told my wife, I said, I really didn't like— I don't like this guy. I like the guy, but he's everywhere in my house. So I said, I'm not sure I like this guy. I said, let's look for somebody else. And that's what some of us have done. Let your husband know. You had a king here. She took permission from the husband. And you see, and that's the reason why it is important you marry someone you share values. I do like to advise Christians, marry from your tribe, not, not tongue, not, not Zulu, not I'm talking about your spiritual tribe, people who are listening to what you're listening to.

Those—

you understand what I'm saying? That you share common values so that you will not have to start babysitting. I have to say this, like I said, When I got the invite for this meeting, I sat down on the past messages from this meeting on YouTube. I needed to understand the culture of this house. And when I heard her, ah, I said, this man of God didn't marry a baby. There are certain positions that is not for novices. Woe to the land when your king is a child. Much more when your queen is a child, there'll be trouble. So she knew the spiritual stamina of the husband and said, let's do this. And what did he say? Let's go. If it was Ananias and Sapphira, say, ah, no, no, we can't do it. Sometimes people come to church and complain, eh, is hot everywhere. You have no right to complain about what you can fix.

You have no right.

It's my father's house, and if I have what it takes to make it convenient for my siblings in Christ, I do it. That's honor, and that's what God looks out for.

In our look—

say, some people say, I don't, I don't like this church. Because, um, the, the, the, the drum doesn't sound well, buy another one. That's what a child does in the house. Children enjoy responsibilities or enjoy privileges. Sons are responsible. So she said, let's make a place for him. And look at verse 10 now, quickly. And let us make a little chamber. And yeah, look, let's go to verse 11. And it fell on that day that he came there, and he turned into the chamber and did what?

Laid there.

Look at 12. And he said to Gehazi his servant, call this Shunammite. He didn't even know her name. And when he had called her, she stood before him. The next verse. Okay. And he said unto him, She came. My sister in black, come.

Thank you.

He called her. Please, sir, come. She stood in front of him. Gehazi stood here. Then he now told Gehazi, look at what he said. And he said, he said now to him, say to her— she was there in his presence. A prophet is a prophet. Say now unto her, behold, thou has been careful for us with all this care. What is to be done for thee? Will thou be spoken for to the king or to the captain? So we saw that the reason why he was passing was not because he was broke or stranded. It was missions. He had access, he had connections, he had keys that could open doors. Now look at this. Oh, Captain of the Hosts, she answered, I dwell among my own people. Yes, quickly, quickly, verse 14 now. And it's okay. And he said, what is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, verily, she has no child and her husband is old. You see, the door that honor cannot open has not been created. So she had no child. She could have reasons to be vindictive and be angry against God, but she chose to channel her pain differently. Look at the next verse now, verse 15. And he said, called her, and when she stood in, in the door, yes, quickly, and he said just a word, about this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son. It is a child. It dictated the gender so you can know who has spoken. A son. And she said, nay, my Lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto your handmaid.

Yes.

And the woman conceived and bear a son at that season. Look at it, that Elisha had said to her according to the time of life. Please, thank you. Please, can I tell you this quickly? Any grace you truly honor will be powerful to speak over your life. You see, I I've had the privilege of pastoring for a while, and I can tell you this: there are people you see and you know the only thing keeping this person in a spot is dishonor. If the blindness— because dishonor first and foremost is a product of blindness— that you look at people and you are seeing men as trees. Once your Kairos comes. It is not enough to honor God, you must honor men who have the keys. I can show you many more stories. Yesterday I mentioned to you Genesis chapter number 18. It was one of the appearance of Christ in the Old Testament, passing by. Abraham said, please come.

He didn't even know who it was.

It was a culture of hospitality. The day the door of destiny opens, you can't enter by luck. That's not the day you get lucky to do what you have not trained yourself to do. It will be a product of the daily decisions you make. And he made food. What is food? And when they were done eating, he asked, where is Sarah, your wife? She's inside. Tell her by this time of life she will be with a child. And when Sarah heard it, she laughed. She said, "Look at this man, don't deceive me." And she said to herself, "How shall I, my husband that is very old, have pleasure in me?" You know what that means? They were trusting God for a child, but the process that brings children, they have stopped. So the miracle first and foremost is that attraction will fall back. Hormones will respond. Eggs will be produced again. Menstruation resumes at 90. Now menopause, 40, 40-something, has started. But now a 90-year-old woman will have to start releasing her eggs again. The man, the seminal vesicles, all the other internal dead things come back alive by one word. It is not always about the word, it's about the nature of the ground. That we can have meeting like this and you tell somebody who is seated here, as I'm about to prophesy now, that by this time next year when we are having this meeting, you will have been so Blessed, you alone can carry all the responsibilities. Now Christians receive prayers like this with different mind. Some will say amen, some will say no, I don't want responsibilities, I want to buy a good car. And God has seen that heart. And there are people who sit down and look at things in the house of God and say, I wish, I wish I can do this. God taught me a principle If it is in your heart, it will come to your hands. Listen, I speak here, and I'm telling you, I don't speak to flatter people. I speak as one who is hearing God and has been called by him. By this time next year when this meeting is holding, the results your life will be producing compared to now will look like night and day.

You would have shifted, and the result of 10 years will be compressed into one.

On the bill of God's favor, the quality of doors that has never opened for anyone in your lineage will open.

Listen.

The day we got the biggest breakthrough of our ministry, it was a Sunday. We had set ourselves to build even what I knew we couldn't afford, but I have faith. I came back from church, I wanted to sleep. God said, don't sleep. Said one of my sons will call you, give him whatever he asks for. On Sunday I was tired, so I stayed awake and I was doing other things. And, um, I told my wife, it appears we're going to empty our account. Somebody might be in trouble and God wants us to give the person. So, and, um, shortly after I got a call on WhatsApp. I said, what's up, your calling me in Nigeria on WhatsApp. Anyways, I picked it and the person was sounding distressed on phone and said, please sir, I need to see you. I said, is it a matter of life and death? He said yes. And I said, all right, I'll tell you where to meet me. And he came and he mentioned he wanted to buy some things, blah blah blah. And God said to him, my servant is building a church, go and finish it. God told me he needs something. To check my heart. Everyone standing here, please stand on your feet. I want to decree and declare the blessing of the Lord that brings men out of the olus of life, out of shame, out of pain, out of rejection, out of depression as a product of this meeting and new decisions you have made. Let that blessing rest upon your life. Let homes, businesses, and institutions that have been stagnant receive speed now. You leave this meeting knowing what to do.

You leave this meeting knowing what to do. As you place your hands upon Tunde, doors open. The kind of miracle that will happen that will make you shed the tears of joy, receive it now. Let strange dimension of health be released now.

Anyone who came here with any sickness, I cast the root of the sickness, I cast it out.

Cancer, get out! Ovaries, get out! Breast tumor, get out! Diabetes, get out in the name of Jesus! Blurry visions, be healed! Astigmatism, be healed! Kidney conditions, be healed! Liver conditions, be healed! Kidney stones, be cured! HIV, get out! Behalf of the Lord. It is done. In Jesus' mighty name we have prayed. God bless you. Somebody celebrate the King. Give Jesus praise in this place. If you know God has blessed you today, come on, give him a shout of praise.

Wow, wow, wow!

You know, I was sitting there while he was ministering and saying all the things he's saying, and it's like God is re-echoing the things he told me when I was in the United States about this conference. He told me there will be a birthing of destinies. Listen to me, listen.
