PROPHETIC PRAYER CONTACT || 12TH JANUARY 2024

Amen, amen. Good morning, my life. Okay, all right. Praise God. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Jesus. Amen. Thank you, Lord. We give you praise. We give you praise, Lord. Can we lift our voice and just give God praise from the very depth of our heart? And magnify his holy name, because it deserves all honor, it deserves all glory, it deserves all adoration. There is none like you, Jesus. There is absolutely none like you. We bless you from the very depth of our heart, and we give you all the praise, we give you all the glory, because you deserve it. You deserve it. You deserve it. You are God all by yourself.

Thank you for strength.

Thank you for your power. Thank you for your help. We give you praise. We give you praise. Oh, we bless your holy name. Rente ke kuste flende rosta paka vende kuste. Oh, we bless you, Jesus. Rende rosto krende roko shinte rogo shinte. Oh, we bless your holy name. Thank you, Father. There is none like you, Jesus. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Jesus. Oh, we bless your holy name. Blessed, blessed, blessed be your holy name, Daddy. In Jesus' mighty name we're praying. Amen, amen. In Jesus' mighty name we are praying.

Amen.

All right, um, quick one, a very, very quick one. Now we have, um, you know, a couple of times look at that book of James, um, James chapter number 5. We have a couple of times look at that James chapter number 5, particularly verse 13. James 5:13. All right, I'm sorry, James 5, um, verse 16. James 5:16. We have particularly looked at that um, passage of scripture.

But I want to show you another dynamics, and we are going to— now today I'm going to show you practical.

I'm going to show you how that with an accurate understanding of God's word, we can actually predict results.

And we are going to do some things, and then we are going to get feedback. Is that okay now? Is that okay?

We'll get strong feedbacks of change of our experiences. You know, it doesn't matter the country and the location where you are connected from. All right, we're going to put out for feedbacks. Praise God.

Now look at this. James 5:17 says, Elijah was a man subject to like passions.

Verse 16, sorry, say, confess your faults one to another, pray one for another, that ye may be healed. Say, the effectual and fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. Um, the word avail means to make something available. So to avail much means the Bible says it makes power, all right, that makes power available, which the Bible says that is, all right, dynamic in its working. But I want to show us one of the aspects of that that many don't understand, all right. For those who were praying yesterday night, um, by 5 PM, I said something very important to you, and I said to you, I said, see, this is it. Even favor responds to the power that is generated. And I want to show you a lot about that dynamics this morning. I want to please encourage those of us who are just joining to try and be on board, um, around 6 AM, all right, so you can be a part of the worship that is always, um, going on. Amen.

Now look at what the Bible says.

I want to show you something. Deuteronomy chapter number 8. Deuteronomy chapter number 8. Oh, thank you, Jesus. Deuteronomy chapter number 8. I want to show you something through that scripture. Amen. Now look at what the Bible says. Um, if you're there, say amen. All right, look at it.

Say, for the Lord thy God bringeth thee into a good land.

A land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that springs out of the valleys and hills. A land of wheat and barley and vines and fig trees and pomegranates. A land of oil, olive, and honey. A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, all right, that thou shalt not lack anything in it. A land whose stones are iron, out of whose hill thou mayest dig brass, all right. When you have eaten and you are full, thou shalt bless the Lord your God. All right, for the good land he has given you. All right, look at it. Let's, let's, let's, let's move on. Verse 11, he said, beware that thou— that you forget not the Lord your God in not keeping his commandments and his judgment and his statute which I command you this day. Say, lest when you have eaten and you're full and you have built godly houses and dwelt therein, and when your herds and flock multiply and your silver and gold is multiplied that all that you have is multiplied, and your heart is lifted up, and you forget the Lord your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt from the house of bondage, who led you through the great terrible wilderness wherein the fiery serpent and scorpions— all right, wherein— where the fairy serpent and scorpion and drought, where there was no water, and brought you water from the rock. He said, who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers knew not, that I might humble you, might prove to thee, and do all right, to do you good at the, your later end. And you say in your heart, my power and my, the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth. He said no, you can't say your power and your might has gotten this wealth. Now look at what he says in verse 18. He said, but you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is he that giveth the power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he swore to your fathers, as at this day. All right, you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is he that giveth you power to get wealth.

Listen to this, meaning that part of the things that we generate power for—

listen— is that that power also is what supervises bringing of resources. There are two extremes as far as this subject is concerned. First, there are those who believe that Resources does not answer to anything spiritual, all right? That's a school of thought. It answers only to your ability to do this and do that. That's a school of thought, all right? And then some believe that it is strictly about the spiritual things.

You don't have to do any other thing, just be locked up somewhere.

That's another extreme, another school of thought. But listen, The Bible is saying that the back end of anyone whoever broke through is an invisible force, spiritual. So what the devil tries to do is to imitate and perverse through imitation everything God does. So when the Bible said, remember the Lord your God, for it is he that giveth the power to get wealth, it means that when we make tremendous power available through prayer Part of the things the power now does is that it brings resources. That is, if you know how to work hard without the back end of a compelling force in the spirit realm, you will still know that hard work does not translate to result. I want us to have this, all right, chiefly at the back of our minds.

We bless God for the ability to work hard. We bless God for the ability to do this and that, but it is not all there is. We bless God for this and bless God for that. Listen, please, I want to beg you, listen to what I'm saying to you. And believers, don't—

see, you cannot pick the reference of your faith from people who are outside the faith, people who who have no understanding of the Bible. Have you seen what the Bible said about the wisdom of God and how a man who is outside responds to it? Let me show you. 1 Corinthians chapter number 3. I need to show you something because I need— I'm building because we need to pray. Amen. 1 Corinthians chapter number 3. All right, look at it. Let's start reading from 18. 1 Corinthians 3:18. Project that scripture quickly. 1 Corinthians 3:18. Thank you. Please, um, do well to like the broadcast and invite people to join us, um, this morning. Okay, do well to like the broadcast and invite people to join us this morning. Amen. 1 Corinthians chapter number 3, verse 18. He said, let no man deceive himself. Do you have another translation like Message? Yes, give— let's, let's read the message. I mean, you'll be, you'll be blown at the things you read. I want to show you something. Amen.

I want it to be on the screen.

Thank you.

All right, he said, don't fool yourself.

Don't think that you can be wise by— wise merely by being up to date with the times.

Don't feel you can be wise by merely by being up to date with the times.

You said—

he said, be God's fool. That's the path of true wisdom. What the world calls smart, God calls stupid. Can you project the rest?

That's not all there is.

He said, be God's fool. That's the path to true wisdom. What the world calls smart, God calls stupid. It is written in the scripture, he exposes, all right, the chickenry of the cheek. Look at that. He exposes it. He exposes it. The master sees. He sees through the smoke screens and knows it all. Oh God, if only believers will know that there are forces that controls the thoughts and the conclusion of every human, and the agenda is to control the thoughts and the conclusions of the church. Go see, people have listened to my messages, the one that suits them.

Them. Let me recommend, let me recommend. There's a series I taught recently entitled Prepare Yourself for Global Missions. It didn't have much views because it didn't look like what believers want to do. Prepare Yourself for Global Missions. And I said many things that were hidden truth in that, in that series.

Go on 12 Light page, go on the live. Um, can you please get out—

let's get out that series and then we're going to upload it. I taught our workers that series, and I was showing how that a country called Saudi Arabia invested, um, last year $1 trillion.

How much?

$1 trillion into world Islamization. And out of that $1 trillion, I think about $100 billion was channeled towards sport alone.

$100 billion. So you see, believers now wake up and say that you must be a fool for you to be giving tithe in church. You must be a fool.

Bible says that God sees through that smoke screen and he knows those who are in charge. Can you give us that scripture again? He said, don't fool yourself to think you can be wise by merely being up to date with times. Be God's fool. There is a path of true wisdom. And that's the part where you are a fool. People call you a fool for choosing the path you have chosen.

Those who try to be wise in their own sight becomes fools.

Are you seeing that now?

Those who try to— I'm going somewhere with the things I'm showing you this morning, all right? People have said many things, you see, during election period. They say things like, ah, INEC does not count prayer points. Because you don't understand the backhand behind life. People don't understand it, that there is a backhand, that there is a backhand.

So you see, when, when January starts and you start fasting, people say, okay, watching, yeah, fasting. Then at the end of the month, in our ministry, like we do, and then we give our first fruit, we give our first income of the year.

Hey, all these people, you must be a fool.

You think of fools now who go and carry their first income of the year and go and dash one pastor.

But people take it to the club every time.

People are destroying their lives with it. There is a world that makes you feel, uh, once you subscribe to any kingdom practice, you are a fool. And you see, people say, I don't want to be a fool, so let me hear what they are saying, because they are real fools. Because they are real fools. As the heaven is high than the head, so are the ways of Lord higher than our ways, and his thoughts than our thoughts.

There is such a thing that's called power to get wealth, and it comes when God can trust a man with it.

And how does God trust a man with it? You cannot wield what you have not died to.

You cannot. You cannot wield what you have not dead.

One of these days I'm going to take time and have a private—

no, don't let me say one of these days.

I'm going to give that to you.

Let me write it down.

I'm going to have a private lecture and show you how global forces tries to manipulate the church.

I don't know if you are interested in that lecture.

Because most times as believers, we don't pay attention to all these things.

I'm gonna, I'm gonna show you. I'm gonna show you. I'm gonna have a private lecture. It's not gonna be open. I don't know, I'm gonna have you a platform where you can subscribe. I'm gonna show you private lecture. Many of you will come out of that smokescreen and discover that everything does not appear as they seem. Are you following what I'm saying?

Hello, are you following what I'm saying here?

You must understand that you need to wake up. You need to wake up.

It is God that gives power to get wealth.

Now you see, there are forces that are world powers that controls what you believe.

Many, many people don't even know that they are being manipulated and controlled.

Job. The news you see, the news you hear, the things—

there are people who are behind the scene that determines what you will hear so they can determine how you think.

I'm telling you, I know stuff, just quiet.

Many believers are not— they are not—

they don't understand what's going on, that while they are saying I'm not a fool, they are already in the hands of Certain people who know their weaknesses and are controlling them, they are already. And many don't understand the way these things work.

There are forces that sit in charge of resources and tries to make sure that it does not go to the hands of people who have the revelation of Christ.

People come to tell me, uh, Pastor, please pray for me, I'm having this contract. Is going to run to the tune of billions. I tell them, enter into warfare mode, because I know what I'm saying. Get into warfare mode.

Don't just go and sleep and say amen to some prayers.

Get into warfare mode, because the devil will do everything he can to make sure that resources never comes to the hand of somebody who loves God.

He knows the number of people who will be out of the street, who will be clothed if you have the resources.

He's going to fight you and fight your mindset.

But the Bible said it is the Lord your God that gives what?

Power.

Somebody say power. Say it again. Say power. Say power. It is the Lord that gives power to get wealth.

You must understand that as much as all this fire you are carrying, you're already a threat.

One man of God shared a vision.

He had.

And he saw a flowing river. We're going to pray. I'm taking my time to teach you something.

He saw a flowing river, and the river was flowing with gold, flowing with gold.

And he noticed— God said, look closely. And he looked closely, and he saw some dark spirit hovering around it, saw some dark spirit hovering around it.

All right. And God said to him, he said, these are demonic forces. That are channeling the resources that are for my children away from my children so that they will come to the hands of those who have no vision for the gospel.

Somebody—

sometimes you see on Twitter, somebody will go to eat in an eatery and the person has spent $4,000, $7,000, $12,000, and then somebody says, I'm giving $1,000 to the cause of the gospel.

Ah, pastor's a thief! Pastor's a liar!

Hey, wow!

Another say, hey, I don't want to be a fool like that.

Who then is the fool?

Does God bless when we're part of his kingdom? Yes, he does.

Just showing you something that many in their, in their thought of not being fools have become principal ones.

And the devil is playing the game well. He's playing them well. He's playing them nice and fair. Are you following what I'm saying here?

Are you being blessed? Are you following what I'm saying here?

Very important. I'm showing you. I asked the question that years back, go check Some years back, 14 years ago, 16 years ago, 17 years ago, countries like Saudi Arabia were known for beheading people publicly and all that. How come now they are the ones hosting the most important sport in the world? How come boxing have moved to Saudi Arabia? How come most important football players are moving to Saudi Arabia? Why are they turning the face of the world to the East? Because Ida has the resources, has the narrative.

Believers just say, no, no, no, our own is not—

there's nothing like prosperity in the church.

Let's just preach.

Let's just—

nobody is talking about prosperity gospel. Don't you get it?

That is little to what you can do. You'll be a slave of other people's opinion and a puppet.

And we say all these things because we don't have teachers. Oh, we have chosen teachers for ourselves, and people are not even patient to learn, to understand. This is scripture, this is global agenda, these are forces behind.

Let's show you. This is their opinion, this is what they are thinking, this is their plan, this is what they want to bring the church to. This is the game plan. They will start from this where they are building to But we don't understand.

Whether you believe in it or not, for the sake of those who have no strength, for the sake of the gospel, for the sake of the furtherance of God's work, desire it, that the blessings of the Lord will truly come upon your life. So the Bible says that when we pray, we make tremendous power available. But as we see Deuteronomy 8:18 says one of the things that power does is that God gives you that power to get wealth, to get resources, to be able to move things around, to be able to do things effortlessly. You know, um, in our church right now we are having a major revival. Um, people have said many things like, um, um, Apostle Femi Lazarus, their strong social media invasion team, and I said We don't have any social media invasion team. We just know how to pray. You see, there's a major revival, and I watched closely, and I saw how that you can move out— you can lose out in the move of God, not because you are not praying, but because you are not strategically positioned because of finance. That people can be trooping into church from places, people who have not been to church in 9, 10 years, and yet there's no resources to get good camera Imagine if the messages that bless people, we could not afford the cameras to record it. Imagine. Do you know the number of Muslims that have reached out to give their life to Christ in the past weeks?

I mean Muslims.

Do you know the number of hip-hop artists that have reached out, that have been led to Christ?

Do you know the number of people you call secular celebrities—

we won't call names— that have reached out to know Jesus more? And you can see their heart that they really want to hear when there's a teacher. And how that these things were never going to be possible unless that somebody believes that finance is relevant in the propagation of the gospel.

I'm, I'm going this route to first remove the, the scales of religion because by the time we start praying about finance, somebody somewhere who is broke He's saying things like, oh, I'm disappointed in Apostle Femi Lazarus. Why are they praying about finance? There are souls to be won. Okay, how many countries can you trek to to win those souls?

Let's not be sarcastic. Is there anybody here who wants God to place on him the power to get wealth? I'm asking the question, very, very important question. Is there anyone here who wants God to place on him or her the power to get wealth?

It's an important question, and we're going to pray about it because the resources needs to come to the hands of those who love God. Resources needs to come to the hands of those who understand what the kingdom is. You need to get it. Resources need to come to the— we have done this thing in Nigeria since the '70s and we have not repented. That you see a company will just rise and say there's nothing like finance, so we're just going to make everyone know this, this, this. We said that about politics, we lost out. We said about television screen till entertainment was dominated with rubbish, and we have still not repented.

We have still not repented.

Lift your hands where you are, say I receive power to get wealth from today.

I subscribe to that dimension in God that brings men into increase. Please pray it loud and clear wherever you are. I subscribe to that dimension in God that brings men into increase. I subscribe. I subscribe.

Don't worry if you don't want it, don't worry, just pray for the rest of us. We have a lot to do with resources.

We have so much to do. I subscribe to that dimension in God. That brings resources.

I subscribe for the sake of the gospel. I yield myself. Please pray, please pray, I beg you in the name of Jesus Christ. Please pray, please pray.

Oh, oh, please pray, please pray, please pray.

Please pray. Lift your voice loud and clear. You must see beyond the smoke screen. You must see there are forces that controls the way you think. Oh yes. Please pray, believers.

Please pray, believers. Please pray, please.

It doesn't matter. In Jesus' mighty name we're praying. Let me show you. We, we read these statistics recently.

We read these statistics recently, and God helped me. My heart is heavy this morning.

For those of you who are in the United Kingdom, you know what I'm talking about, how that stargazers and necromancers are becoming more They're on the increase. We, we showed the statistics.

Let me see if I can bring it out. Um, we showed for different regions in the United Kingdom and then show people when we're having the Kano Apostolic Meeting. It showed you different things. But many people still will not, will not understand it, all right?

That in UK now you are having people, they are publicly talking about a school for wizards, a conference for witches, publicly. And they are increasing in London. The percentage of Christianity is dropping. Mosques are buying churches. Mosques are buying churches. In UK. They are doing so in London, they are doing so in Leicester, they are doing so in Birmingham, in different places. Go and check the statistics, compare it with 10 years ago. You will know clearly an agenda. Why is, why is Islam increasing fervently in Europe?

What's happening?

Why is the number of mosques just increasing all of a sudden? What's happening? Believers, I'm going to take that lecture tonight, so I'm not going to— I'm not going to postpone it so I get too busy and I'm not able to do it. I'm going to title it See Beyond the Smokescreen.

I'm going to take it tonight. I'm going to take it tonight live on YouTube, this same YouTube channel. We're going to have it for, all right, 8:00, 8:30 PM tonight. 8:30 PM, gonna be YouTube live session. I'm gonna be here with you, 8:30, because when you pray, when you fast, you study, you pray, you see, but you also learn, you also learn.

So I'm going to be here with you.

I'm not very excited about that.

I'm going to be teaching you on how to see beyond smokescreen so you can understand there is a globalist agenda. And because they understand the disunity in the church, they know exactly how to enter into the church and how exactly the things to do. There are many things I'm not going to say publicly.

There are many things I'm not ready to talk about.

There are many people don't know that they are just part of a big game that is being played.

That's just it.

We can journey down to church history and I show you there is nothing happening now that has not happened before.

Journey back and you'll see, you'll be shocked at the things you see.

Are you following what I'm saying here? Very important, set your time, 8:30 PM, See Beyond the Smokescreen. All right, I'm going to be here, YouTube Live, going to be showing you globalist agenda and how they manipulate the church and how many believers have become prepared because they will not, they will not sit down with the word and know the Bible for themselves. And sometimes because of the hatred in our heart Sometimes the greed in our heart, it's strange, and it's strange. And you see believers begin to say things like, we are the woke ones, so we know.

What are you talking about?

That's what Paul was saying in 1 Corinthians 3:18. Look at verse 19. He said, for the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, he taketh the wise in their own craftiness, and again, he knoweth the thought of the wise, that they are vain. Therefore let no man glory in men, for all things are yours. That's what the Bible is saying. Let no man glory in men, for all things are yours. Because we don't seem to understand, we just look like we understand. The last days is the days of deception, so it matters what you hear. And it does, it does in a serious way. You can be deceived and not even know you have been deceived. Are you following what I'm saying here? Hello, are you following what I'm saying here?

Very important, very important. Is there anyone here that really, if God should place the grace for abundance on your life all right, plus the things you are doing, all right, you are going to— listen to this— you are going to be a major push and influence to the cause of the gospel. Then ask for it. Lift your hand wherever you are.

I break through on all sides this year. I see everything that is in the demonic, it is actually in Christ much more. It is in Christ.

Okay, somebody's saying, Apostle, what you are teaching this morning is not the gospel. Hold on a minute, let me show you another scripture. Revelation chapter number 5.

The Book of Revelation, chapter number 5. Now, because this is prayer time, so before I show Revelation 5, because I need to build, let me show you Matthew 28, verse 18. Matthew 28, verse 18.

I can show you a law in biblical interpretation.

Matthew 28, verse 18. Look at it. Matthew 28, verse 19. Look at what the Bible says. Please project it. Matthew 28:18, and Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, all power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

All power.

Verse 19 says, go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and the Holy Spirit. So if you understand the context of the, of what was written in Matthew 28:18, when he said all power is given to me, right, that's Jesus talking, saying all power has been given to me. When he says in verse 19, go ye therefore, that's delegated authority. In the light of all power given to me, I am delegating this to you. You go in this strength. It's called power of attorney. I'm extending it to you. It's a delegated authority.

It's—

I have, I have received it. That's the base of new creation reality. All that Christ received, he received on behalf of the church.

Look at it, Revelation chapter number 5. Revelations chapter number 5.

Revelations chapter number 5. Let's jump a bit so you can have—

all right, so we can understand.

Now look at it, let's start reading from verse 11.

Revelations 5 from verse 11.

Thank you for those of you liking the broadcast.

Please don't stop so that the algorithm can take it further.

Revelations 5:11 said And I beheld and heard the voice of many angels round about the throne, and the beast, and the elders. And the number of them was 10,000 times 10,000 and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice, 'Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive.' He received. Now, all that he received was the law. He receives on behalf of who? The church. What did he receive?

Power.

And then what followed?

Riches.

What followed? Wisdom. What followed?

Strength.

What followed? Honor, glory, and what blessing is. Riches there.

There are many Christians that say me saying amen to your prayers or be blessed, but there is already a stronghold in their heart. How do you say amen to the prayer of being blessed? And when a pastor teaches you about the blessing, you say he's a prosperity preacher. What exactly are you? Because we don't understand. People just speak from their religious filters and they miss God, and they miss God in a big way.

You must understand that.

Are you following the things I'm teaching you this morning?

Amen.

See, all the talk, talk and teaching I've been doing is so that you can pray one prayer, and I know that the devil will greatly withstand when we are praying that prayer. And that's how I've been doing all the teaching, that God indeed, I receive the power to get wealth. That's what I've been trying to make you do, because yet somebody is somewhere who needs it the most but is fighting it.

Can you get up on your feet?

And many of you think that when it comes to this, it's not warfare, it's just— no, no, it is warfare. I give you another 2 minutes. Lift your voice loud and clear. I enter into the reality where that, that is obtainable. I receive power to get wealth. Our ministry, our organization, we step out as forces of influence. We step out as forces of influence. Lift your voice loud and clear. Lift your voice loud and clear. Lift your voice loud and clear. Lift your voice loud and clear.

Oh Jesus, I walk in it.

Oh yes, I walk in it, I walk in it. Please pray, please pray. Don't, don't be carried away in your religious conclusions.

Don't, don't do that.

Please pray, lift your voice loud and clear and pray. I subscribe, I subscribe to it. From today I receive it. It is beyond my hard work. Ah, no, no, it is beyond my pride and what I think I know.

No, I reach out for it.

You have one more minute. You have one more minute and I want you to pray. You have one more minute, please pray.

Please pray, please pray, please pray, please pray, please pray.

In Jesus' mighty name we're praying. So let me give a balance to this.

Do you know it is not that many people are actually averse to the part of the gospel that shows us that God wants us blessed? They actually averse to the fact that people have come in. And that's how the devil destroys a body of doctrine, that people come in with error, you see, and heresies. The moment these two revolves around the body of truth, what the devil does is that it deconcentrates it in the heart of people. So what they do is they now throw the baby and the bad water away. So instead of saying no, while this subject is a true biblical subject I affirm this subject to be true, but I identify this person as a person of error.

No, in Nigerian church we say, hey, everything is a lie, and we miss God, and that's it. And sometimes it's because that subject matter has not been carefully taught. Many times because that subject matter has not been carefully taught, so people just, you know, say the things— it's not been carefully taught.

Are you seeing?

Are you following me now? It's not being carefully taught. So people, people just feel that this is— no, it has to be carefully taught. We have to understand that. That's why I don't just pray, I take my time, because we want to build in such a way that we are building what no adversary can withstand or gainsay. We are building with a body of truth, convincing truth from scripture, that even those who hate us can't find anything against it. Somebody says, I hate Apostle Lazarus, but it's difficult to find anything against his sermon. We're just getting started. That's why we labor on the word and doctrine, because when we celebrate the number of people watching— now look at it, we have about 2,900 people watching on YouTube alone. You feel among that 2,900 there are no blogs? Waiting for what Apostle Lazarus have to say about this matter. There are no people who are recording. Say, when he say, even if they put the video down, we have it. And that's why we, we labor in the world. And anybody who is trying to look for something wrong in every teaching, it's just a matter of time you'll find it, because one day it will not make sense even to you. We are not trying to make sense to anybody.

We teach the wisdom of God, even the hidden wisdom of God.

That's what we teach.

Mark 4:11 says, unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God.

Verse 12 says, to those who are without, these things are said but in parables, so that in seeing they will see, they will not perceive; in hearing they will hear, they will not understand.

We are not trying to make sense to people.

Are you following what I'm saying? We're not trying to make sense. We're not trying to make sense.

Let me share something with you, then I begin to bring this to an end.

One time somebody called me, called me on phone and said, Pastor, how you doing?

Say this, this, this.

Say, please, sir, I got your number from so-and-so person. Please, I'm going through this distress. Please prophesy and speak a word.

And I—

the person gave some convincing stories. Very convincing story. And as I listen to the person, believe you me, honestly, emotionally, I just want to pray for the person and prophesy. But as I closed my eyes, the Holy Ghost said to me, the Holy Ghost said to me, ask, who is Mrs. So-and-so? So I asked the person, hold on a minute, who is so-and-so person?

And the person went mute.

Then the Holy Ghost said, ask him What's the affair you have with me so and so and so and so? So I asked him, what's the affair you have with so and so and so person? Are you seeing that now? And then the Holy Ghost said to me, that person that he's telling me about, that's his elder brother's wife, so his uncle's wife. So this person was having an affair with his uncle's wife. Guess what? That's not the catch.

The moment I said that, he ended the call. And disappeared.

So I was wondering what's happening, but Truecaller already brought out a name. So I sent it to some guys, I said let me trace out this person. So they were able to trace and then link via Facebook, and we saw— look at this— they were running an organization that they were calling different pastors, and it was live, and they will tell the pastor prophesy.

And if the pastor begins to talk, they will say, you're a liar, you are not a man of God, you are on live TV, this, this, this, you didn't hear anything from God, you're a liar. And insult the pastor and discredit the ministry.

That was what they were doing. And it was still on that same live program that God exposed that he was sleeping with his uncle's wife and called the name so he cannot deny.

Called the name for somebody who didn't know you. See, there are true prophets.

That was the end of that show. That was the end of— see, we must understand that out there that are setting traps for us. I'm telling you, this world is full of wickedness. That's why we labor, we labor, we labor.

You don't just—

we just wake up and just— when I wake up, God is calling me to many things at times. It's a wicked world. Yeah, don't say I didn't tell you.

Don't say I did not tell you. Amen.

Has somebody been blessed this morning?

Spending time with you this evening, I'm going to show you how to see beyond the smoke screen. Seeing beyond smoke screen, understanding, um, globalist agenda, world powers, those behind it. The agenda really seen behind the smoke screen. All right, I can't wait to see you there by 8:30. All right, because we have prayer meeting in our church today, so you, you join Sphere of Light Church. Please, after this broadcast, search for Sphere of Light Church on YouTube and subscribe. Join Sphere of Light Church YouTube. By 5:30, there'll be prayer meeting in church.

All right, so all of us join, and after that we have this teaching.

All right, bye-bye. 8:30. You have to join on time because it's very possible we lock access for people to join. So that because of the depth of the things that will be said, many of these things that we cannot just bring to sermons— it also says that we speak wisdom amongst them that are of age.

Are you following what I'm saying here?

All right, praise God in the highest.

Oh, can you still hear me? What do you say?

My mic is off.

Can you still hear me? Are you sure? Can you still hear me?

All right.

Oh, thank you, Lord.

All right, and you can, you can do well to share the broadcast, do well to invite people, do well to do so, because I mean, we are stepping into a season where there must be clear demarcation between Egypt and Goshen. So you cannot reason the way the world is reasoning, and you cannot run with their template. You, you will miss God in a big way that way.

Are you following what I'm saying there?

You will miss God in a big way that way. Praise God. Let's begin to pray and give God thanks for the things we have heard, and just say it again: Father, this year I am open, I access it, I'm open to receive wisdom to get wealth. I'm open. I subscribe to it. I'm open.

I refuse to be a puppet.

I refuse to be a pawn in the hands of the devil. I refuse to be manipulated. I'm open. I receive the wisdom. Just go ahead and pray.

And then pray specifically.

But some people have been having near success syndrome. Please pray. Today marks an end to it. Today marks an end to it.

Near success syndrome, almost getting there, almost getting it, starting all over again—

today marks an end to it. Marks an end to it in the name of Jesus. Oh, thank you, Father. We bless your holy name. In Jesus' mighty name we're praying. Amen. Now listen, those of you under the sound of my voice who have not given your life to Christ.

You have not given your life to Jesus.

You, you are yet to accept his own life and accept him as your Lord and Savior. This is that moment for you. We have, we have prayed, always waiting for you to come every morning, and I'd like to lead you to Christ at this moment. I'd like to have this moment with you. And you ask, how do I accept the life of Christ? I'm going to show you. The Bible says it is with the heart that we believe unto righteousness, and with the mouth we make confession unto salvation.

So what do we believe?

1 Corinthians showed us, all right, how that Paul said that this is the same gospel that you have received to be saved, and wherein you stand, that you believe in your heart that Jesus is the Son of God, and he came to this world and died and was buried according to scriptures, all right. So you want to say the following after me. Say, Lord Jesus, I believe that you came to this world to die for my sins. I believe that you died for my sins, and I also believe that you arose for my justification on the third day. Today I accept this life of Christ in the name of Jesus, and I confess you as my Lord Lord and Savior. In Jesus' name, amen.

If you have said that, the most important miracle has just taken place.

The most important miracle has taken place. All right, and we'd like to take you beyond just that confession to get you to be discipled, and that's how we have the number on the screen: 09030959735. 09030959735. Send a message with contact either on WhatsApp or text, and I just gave my life to Christ. We are waiting eagerly to receive you. We are waiting eagerly to receive you. Praise God.

All right, so we continue with our Bible study plan.

Thank you for those of you reminding me, um, I, I will not forget today.

Amen.

And yesterday we stopped at Psalms chapter number what?

We did 7 and 8, am I correct? So today we continue with 9 and 10. 9 and 10. Same for the book of Romans. Psalm 9:10, Romans 9:10. We continue same for the book of Romans. Psalm 9:10, Romans 9 and 10.

All right, so we continue there.

Um, so next time we'll be meeting, there's 5:30 prayer on our church platform, and then there is, um, 8:30 where I'm going to be spending time with you here. If there's any other prayer, um, avenue and, um, you know, prayer, um, what's it called now? Prayer watches, it's for private groups and all that, and nobody can be joined, added there again, at least in the time being. Amen. God bless you so much.

Fasting continues.

Don't get tired of fasting. And for those who have subscribed for dry, all right, you are strengthened. Don't get tired in the name of Jesus. Amen. Usually what we do in January in our ministry, we have two kinds of fast, all right. We have fasting of fruit or food, then we have fast of first fruit. That's when we give our first income. I, I do it and it doesn't come to me. It's a practice, a covenant practice we have given our ministry. People have been reaching out, how do we give?

All right, so there's going to be the account details on the screen.

I'm going to talk about that much later on church platform.

All right, I believe you have been blessed this morning.

I decree the hand of God rest upon you. You go forth in God's strength and God's grace, and his mighty hand is strong upon you. You will not fail God.

You know better.

And listen, you receive power to get wealth in the name of Jesus. I say again, you receive power to get wealth and you walk in it, in Jesus' mighty name. Amen.

God bless you.

Don't forget to like the broadcast, all right? And, um, share with people, okay? And then God strengthen you in the name of Jesus. All right, see you later today. All right, once we share the flyer for the platform, the meeting by evening, all right, I, I think maybe you can share, maybe to bring many believers out. We should have at least 10,000 people at least in the live stream by evening. I can't wait to see you.

God bless you so much.

Bye-bye.

Our story in the city of Abuja is similar to the story of Jacob who said, by my rod I have passed through Jordan, but now the Lord has made me two bands. You remember how that recently God sent us to Abuja in what I will call the most humble movement We came practically trusting God for what to do next and how he's going to help us with the words of prophecies he has given to us about the city and the armies arising. And guess what? God is doing just that. Recently we have been seeing the move of God in the most unbelievable way possible, with his word reaching the unreached, converting sinners to saints, bringing people who have lost hope in church. And now this has necessitated the need for a expansion so that we do not fall out of what God is doing. Where we are currently is stringent for us, with rules that will limit what God is doing amongst us. The gospel is free, but the propagation requires a lot of funding. We want our friends, partners, and everyone connected to our ministry to join us as we undertake this project together. We have the urgent need to expand. And we believe that this is the kairos moment for us to do that. We are importing our own tent all the way from China and getting everything needed to fill that space and have a conducive place where we can have our apostolic work beyond what we are having now at the moment.

The structure you are seeing on your screen is exactly what we are working at at the moment.

Believe you me when we say that people who are blessed can be blessed much more when we have our own place. We want you to join us as we undertake this project. We need your support. We're counting on you and your generosity. We are working towards a project of ₦180 million in this season. You have the account details on the screen. Use the account details as God has laid in your heart. God bless you so much.

We love you from all of us at Sphere of Light Church.

Thank you for always—
