Good morning, everyone. God strengthens you in the name of Jesus. What an awesome time it's been in God's presence throughout this week, praying some warfare prayers against spiritual wickedness. Praise God! And we, we are in again this morning to lift our voice to God in prayers. And I want you, wherever you are, to go ahead and bless the name of the Lord this morning. Just go ahead and bless him, thank him, and give him praise. Yes, let's honor him, let's give him glory that is due to his name, let's give him honor that is due to his name. He deserves all glory. He deserves all praise. He deserves all adoration. He deserves all honor. He deserves all thanksgiving. He deserves it. Now, from the depth of your heart, I want to see you give him that praise. Oh, thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Oh yes, Lord. The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases. Oh, we bless you, Lord. We bless you, Lord. Oh, blessed be your holy name. Oh, thank you, Jesus. There's none like you, Lord. There's none like you, Lord. There's none like you, Lord. I give you praise. I thank you. I thank you, Lord. I thank you for the things you are doing amongst us. Oh yes, Lord, for liberation to lives, to families. Oh, I give you praise, I give you praise. I want to thank you, Lord, for removing the hindrances in people's journey. I want to thank you, Lord. Reko sente ugo shente. I want to give you all the praise, I want to give you all the glory. Oh, thank you, Lord. Blessed be your holy name! Blessed be your holy name! Blessed be your holy name! Blessed be your holy name! Thank you Lord, we give you all the praise, we give you all the glory, we give you all adoration— there's none like You Lord, there's none besides You. I thank You, I thank You. Bless you, Lord. We give you all glory. We give you all praise. We give you all adoration. Lift your voice where you are and just bless him. Bless his holy name. Thank him. Magnify him, because there's none like him. There's none to be compared to him. Oh yes, if not for the Lord who is on our side, what shall we then say? Let's give him praise. Let's give him glory. Oh, let's bless his holy name. Let's bless his holy name. Oh, thank you, Lord. In Jesus' mighty name we are praying. Let's thank God because he's the one who answers prayer. Imagine that we did not have this confidence that when we pray there's a God who hears and answers. This is the confidence that we have, that as we lift our voice and cry to He hears us. Amen. This is the confidence that we have, that the name of the Lord is a strong tower. The righteous run in at their safe. This is the confidence that we have, that he that dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadows of the Almighty. This is the confidence that we have, that we have the Lord who is a hiding place from noise, from the tempest. It is the confidence that we have that we can run into his name and take refuge. It is the confidence that we have that we can call upon him and he hears us. It is the confidence that we have that when we make requests, he's faithful and just to grant us. It is the confidence that we have that when we seek, we'll find. When we knock, the door shall be opened to us. It is the confidence that we have. Imagine that we don't have this confidence in God. Just imagine that and go ahead and give him praise this morning. For the confidence— for the confidence that we have in his name! For the confidence that we have in his name! He's faithful and just to hear us; he's faithful and just to answer us; he's faithful and just to grant us our request. Oh, bless his holy name! Blessed be your holy name, Lord! Blessed be your holy name! Blessed be your holy name! Blessed be your holy name! I thank you, Lord! I thank you, I thank you, Lord. I thank you, Lord. I thank you, Lord. Oh, we want to thank you, Lord. Oh, we judge you faithful in all situations. We judge you faithful. Blessed be your holy name. Oh, thank you, Lord. In Jesus' mighty name we pray. Now let me say this to you. I am very glad that you are praying, particularly whenever we have to pray, um, on subject matters like, um, pulling down the grip of wickedness. Um, subject— I don't want to call it generally spiritual warfare, but it's a warfare. Where we get into that point of warfare mode. Because many believers have been deceived, and that's— I think that's one of the worst disservice that some theologians have done to the body of Christ, that many believers have come to the point where they just believe that life in itself is funfair. You know, many have come to the point where they just believe that life in itself is, is just a place of, you know, it doesn't matter, um, whatever it is. At the end of the day, um, um, you have the victory. And see, and understand this, that when we have to pray prayers like this, it is not because we do not believe that we have victory in Christ Jesus. See, in fact, the Bible says that this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith. So yes, in fact, the fact that we believe that there is a victory in Christ is the more reason why we even pray. And I've tried to give you the example that everything that we have in Christ, we have it legally. The same way you can be in a situation, maybe in the middle of the road. All right, let me give you an instance. I remember one time, I, I, I think at some point I was leaving Accra this year, and, um, I had some, um, CD with me, you know, Ghana CD. I need them. So I'm like, oh, people just came to bless me and honor me. Apostle want to bless you with this CD, want to bless you with that CD, 5,000. So like, thank you so much. I'm going back to my country, so I just give it to people who were there, you know, with the hope that when they said the time for my flight, um, was I think that 8 AM or so, it was going to be that time. I gave out all the Ghana currencies I had with me, so I was left with my ATM card for whatever reasons. And, um, so, um, what happened was that At some point they moved my flight for more than 6 hours, so I needed to just get something. I had money in my account, okay, but I could not buy anything because it was not their legal tender. It was not their legal tender. At some point, what you have legally must have been converted to real power. For instance, you read the book of Luke chapter number 3, Jesus was led by the Spirit to be baptized of John. All right, um, so he was led— sorry, are we back? Glory to God. Amen, amen. All right, so sorry about the little break in transmission. So at certain points, you must know how to appropriate what you already have in Christ. Are you following what I'm saying? You have the victory in Christ. And then see, sometimes we, we deceive ourselves by trying to paint it like once a man is in Christ, he— yes, once a man is in Christ, he's a new creature.
Yes.
Once a man is in Christ— but when Paul was speaking and he said, for though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God for the pulling down of strongholds— was he talking to unbelievers or those in Christ?
He was talking to those in Christ.
When he spoke in Ephesians chapter number 6 from verse 10, say, finally, brethren, Be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might.
Was he talking to those in Christ or those outside Christ? He was talking to those in Christ. Why?
Because even those in Christ can be victim of problems except they pray. I just wanted you to understand that fact. Are you following what I'm saying here? This, as far as this world is concerned, you will pray to dislodge satanic strongholds hovering around your life. See, God has intentions for your life, and the devil is not about to fold his arms for the intentions to come to pass. Leave it. God has intentions for your life, and the devil is not about to fold his arms for the intention to come to pass. It is now your duty to take what you already receive in Christ and apply it in the place of prayer. Wherever you are, get up on your feet right now because we are going to pray, and we're going to pray very, very serious prayers. Are you feeling what I'm saying? First, you are going to decree everything that the devil has mounted up against what God has designed for me in life, I pull them down.
Everything, every siege, whatever it is that the devil has mounted up against what God has for me in life, I pull them down in the name of Jesus. Now lift your voice and pray. It doesn't matter what the strategies are, it doesn't matter what the walls are, as long as the devil has erected them against what God has for me, I pull them down. I refuse to let the work of the devil stand. I pull down his works by the power and the authority in Christ, in the name of Jesus. I pull down satanic strongholds. I pull down satanic barricades. I pull them down.
Oh yes, oh yes. I pull down every stronghold in the name of Jesus. In Jesus' mighty name we're praying. Let me tell you this. Everything the devil stands for is to resist what God stands for. That is, if God looks at the person and say, this is what I'm going to do with your life, what the devil wants to do is the direct opposite. If God gives somebody life, or when God— because God gives life— and what the devil wants to do is to bring death. So there are things you begin to notice around your life. That this is, this is totally different from what God intended and what God planned for my life. Are you following what I'm saying here? Once, look at it now, Jesus gave the parable: a good man sows good seed in this field, and then they, I mean, they went at night to rest, and the Bible said while men slept, please pay attention to that, the enemy came and sowed tears in the midst of wheat. There are sicknesses that came at night, they are tears.
There are activities. Something was already going well. It was clear this is going to change your life, and all of a sudden something just get introduced to it. I'm wondering from where to where we prayed this through. This was working. It looks like this was already producing, and all of a sudden you look at it and now this is it, the devil is capturing it. It is because you went to sleep. And that's why I was warning, particularly I was speaking to parents. You don't fold your hands and watch the devil sow tears amongst your children.
That's why when I go to church, any of our centers, I like to interact with the kids. As I lay hands on them or hold them, I keep telling God, you are now with God. You will never at any point in your life be in the club.
You will never at any point in your life be in the world. You will never. I conditioned you to serve him.
Because you understand that God can mean so well and give everything needed for something to go well, and the devil looks at your own laxity and destroys it, including taking your life.
That's why we are shown dreams and visions. Sometimes you see the intentions of the devil. Clearly, he means no joke. And this is one thing he wants to do. He wants to waste your life. He wants to destroy something. He's not joking. And God allows you to see it. Why is he allowing you to see it? So you can take responsibility. So you can take responsibility. When Daniel was praying and Prince of Persia resisted his prayer, that had nothing to do with the law.
It was a spiritual phenomenon. But he kept on praying until something happened. Are you following what I'm saying here? Let me tell you something. Sometimes you already begin to see signs that God wants to do amazing things in your life. You already begin to see signs that the season is about to turn. You already begin to see signs that there's a change imminent that is just in front of you.
You already— you just start sensing that there's something different around the corner. You don't rejoice and just laugh it away. As you rejoice, you pray it. You pray it till it becomes evidential. You pray till it becomes what you are holding in your hands. You pray it till you hear the note of victory in your spirit.
Glory to God. Are you following what I'm saying here? And let me tell you something. I think I was speaking to one of my spiritual sons who was driving, um, yesterday, Lagos, and he was asking me questions about prayer, and I told him there is no real and genuine breakthrough that will not be ushered in by fervent prayer, including in ministry.
Somebody just sit down and say, I don't know the reason why we are doing everything we should do, but we are just not growing. You think the devil is going to fold his arms and allow you grow? You've got to pray. You know, we are trying every our best. We are—
you see, we do everything, and then even this ministry We go on the street and then we share some, some things, and then we invite people to church. And I say all this, say, oh boy, pray. You pray to a point that you generate a kind of energy that nothing can resist you.
Are you following what I'm saying?
Listen, this is how you're going to pray. Everything that has been spiritually allocated to me. They will not be turned away in the middle of the road.
This is what I'm saying. I lay demands on them till they become a reality. Now begin to mention the ones you know in Christ. Everything spiritually allocated to me, they will not be hijacked midway. I lay demands. If you are getting sick now, health was allocated to you. Oh yes, by stripes you were already healed. Refuse to allow sickness stay. I don't care what kind it is.
I don't care what kind it is.
Refuse to allow it stay. Refuse everything spiritually allocated to me. I lay demands till I see them.
I lay demands till I see them.
Oh yes.
I lay demands on them in Jesus' mighty name we pray.
Have you seen situations whereby, you know, um, God has shown you things, you've seen amazing things in your spirit, you've heard amazing things in your spirit? I mean, this is where God is, what God is obviously going to do, and, and then nothing, nothing should stop it. This is it, this is going to work. You already have your projections. I'm going to get this done, I'm going to get that done. But because you fail to pray Even the enemy that ought not to be strong enough to interfere with it will do that, because there is no vacuum in the spirit realm. Demons take advantage of spiritual laxity, and even when it is not their duty to do certain things, as long as it must be done, they get it done. So the best time to even pray is the time you begin to sense in your spirit that there is something happening that nothing can resist. This is what I'm saying. Sometimes you feel nothing can resist it because The devil wants to clear out of the way so you can have the illusion that I can just fold my arms and then it's going to be a natural thing. You see, as long as the heavens and the earth remain, seed time and harvest will not cease. There's no harvest time. It means that harvest can happen after you are gone. It is your duty to insist. Are you following what I'm saying? And that's what I look at. It is not enough that I know certain things is mine. It is important I prayed them into reality. It is not enough that I sense that God is about to do this. If I sense God is about to do this every time and they end up not happening, it shows I'm irresponsible. It shows that as far as God is concerned, he's allocated. I am the human factor that has failed to appropriate. Praise God. Are you following what I'm saying here? What are the things that you, you sense? This is it. God has given me this, but I'm yet to see it. God has settled this, but I'm yet to see it. I know when I prayed that time that I was about to break into this, but yet again it looks like it was taking 200 days away from me. It looked like it was taking 5 years away from me.
I insist by the authority in the name of Jesus, and I call them back to their rightful season in the name of Jesus. I call back my kairos moment. Call them back. Oh yes, I call them back by the power and the authority in Christ. I call them back. There will not be that. My seasons will not be upturned. My seasons will not be upturned. My seasons will not be upturned. My seasons will not be upturned. My seasons will not be upturned. My seasons will not be upturned. My seasons will not be upturned. I call them back. I refuse to sit out my season because of spiritual laxity. I refuse to give up my victory because of spiritual laziness. I insist that whatever God has ordained for now happens now. I insist, I insist, I insist. In Jesus' mighty name we pray.
Let me say this to you: bulk of the things that are not going well is because you have not prayed enough. I spoke to my people about a kind of prayer that I call— I'm like, you are laboring in the spirit. Are you following what I'm saying? You see, when I get to those points in prayer, it is like I want to tear open, particularly when I can sense. You see, I'm a man who I don't joke with anything I've perceived in my spirit. As long as I pray to the point where I sense the note of victory, I must touch it. You get to a point in prayer that's like you want to give birth. It's like you want to give. That's not the point to be, to be relaxed. That's not the point to be slack. You're a woman, you are trusting God for the fruit of the womb. Occasionally you would sleep and see babies coming around you, and each time again you check, you are still not pregnant. Occasionally you dream and you see. What God is telling you is that this is what I've given to you.
It is— you know what I'm saying? As long as you can see it in your spirit, heaven has responded.
But there are still forces on the earth interfering, and it is your duty as the man of God upon the earth to change the narrative.
Are you following me here? It's your duty. And listen, the reason is that Jesus said, he said, you ask not, do you receive not because you ask not. You pray till you're joyful.
What I've learned about many Christians is that they are okay as long as they have daily bread. And I'm telling you, that's the fact. That's, that's many people have chosen to settle for whatever it is. Are we fine? Do we have daily bread? Are we—
see, so they are okay as long as they have daily bread.
And that's not all that God wants to give you. That's not all that God wants to give you. And I, I'm saying again, you're a pastor, you don't even have an idea of how the church will grow. You have done everything possible, you don't know, you have not prayed. Try prayer.
This is what I'm saying. Try prayer till you bet something in the spirit. You become a force cannot be resisted. Are you what I'm saying? You people just can't tell something change. You pull off a garment as we cease the prayer. You pull it off. Are you still there with me tonight?
Now this morning, how many things will you sense in your spirit that God has done, that God has released, but one funny-looking ugly demon will make sure it never touch your hand? How many things have you sensed in the spirit that God has answered to, and now God is looking like a liar because you have chosen not to take responsibility? That you got to that point, you were sensing it. You got to that point, it was becoming clear. You got to that point, you were, you were perceiving it that this is it. And each time it's like it only ends as a perception. Are there people I'm speaking to really this morning, huh? Somebody's sick, you know, and I mean that because I've been privileged to go pray for the sick on many occasions. And let me tell you something, I do get the result. And when I see cases that I say, oh boy, you guys have to put this in place, put that in place, I tell them, and I've seen many times that people believe, but have a custom of just waiting for things to happen. Nobody's taking a stand and say, hold on a minute, how can one person die in this family, then two, then come on now, not again.
When will you put a full stop to it?
And I look at people, I say, see, come on, this case that this person looks like they want victory from It has not gotten to boiling point. This person really doesn't care about it like that. It's not going to boiling point. The power of God is mighty here this morning to bear witness with your request. I didn't hear amen to that. God is here to grant you victory in every side. Like I said, you already have it in Christ, but you must insist till it becomes a reality upon the earth. Are you following what I'm saying here? You must insist that it becomes a vital reality upon the earth. Again, you are going to decree. See what are those areas that you already sense that God responded at some point, only for your life to continue like God never did. Insist again.
Father, I insist on the perceived note of victory. I insist that it is my reality.
I will not sweep it under the carpet.
No way.
No way.
I will not sweep it under the carpet. I insist, Lord. I take my stand in the place of prayer. I take what is mine. I take what is mine. I take what is mine. I take what is mine. I take back what is mine! Lift your voice and pray! Lift your voice and pray! Lift your voice and pray! Lift your voice and pray! Lift your voice and pray! Lift your voice and pray!
Reke sende ogushinta— In Jesus' name we have prayed!
Amen!
Mighty name we pray. Now there's something, um, called, um, resistance. Let me give you an instance now. For instance, there's something called, um, look at a subject like antibiotic resistance, all right? And what that means is that some microbes or microbes or bacteria, for instance, can get to a point that they change their morphological structure, that the same antibiotics, all right, that can address them will no longer address them. Most times because they were not quickly addressed, or sometimes because they were not properly addressed, all right. You see that, that, and that describes sometimes the reason why somebody can be sick and then there's a drug that can take care of the sickness, and the person used the drug, then stop up with, then that same drug is not able to continue the job. Once you begin to pray, you must not stop till you lambano, till you hold it. That's the way your life will not be complicated. Listen to what I'm saying. And the reason why I'm telling you that is that once the devil sees that, oh, this person can arise in prayer, please finish the job. Let me say it again. Once the devil sees that, oh, this one can rise in prayer, just finish the job. Because failure to finish the job, there will be forces assigned to you to make sure you never get to that point of prayer again. The same way you can see people rise up and say, we demand for this from the government, which is the right of the people. Just make sure you get what you demand, because there will be protocols in place to make sure you never get it again. And that's the reason why many Christians are still halfway. Maybe it would have even been better for you to— are you feeling what I'm saying— to not even have started than to start and not finish. The spirit realm, there's no vacuum. Once you stop halfway, more weak. Look at what Jesus said about demons when they are cast out people. So when you cast out the devil from a person and all that, and the spirit will go dry place of the earth and just wander about. If he comes back and see that that place is swept and kept— are you seeing that now? Now Jesus used this analogy himself. If no, you have said he's a heresy. And then there's no nothing filling that space, that spirit will now go and call more wicked spirit and they will come and inhabit that person, meaning that the same thing you would have done by saying I rebuke you this This is— you will need more effort because now what— and what people don't understand is that when he said he's going to call more wicked spirit, he's not talking about those spirit to come in respect to just invasion. They will hang around loopholes so they become legal host. And the reason why sometimes many of them don't detach easily is because they are hanging on some forms of legality. I've been casting out devils for years, so I can tell you this. That sometimes when you casting out the devil and they refuse to go, it is not sometimes for power deficiency, it is for knowledge deficiency. That now they are hanging around the body of truth that the person have not come to realize.
Pause.
Stop feeling like, oh, I don't know, maybe I'm not as powerful as this Apostle. And then probe, discern what it is. Once you can discern their grip, command them to lose it. Praise God. Oh, somebody, are you here? So that's why once we start a prayer point during the week, I will not leave you till we finish. We must finish. And I even say strongly, except God change my mind, because today is Friday, that by Monday we're going to see pressure. Ah yes, some of these prayers we are praying here took some of us Years, years of lying down everywhere, morning, afternoon, night. Oh Lord, change my story. Jabez was more honorable than his brothers, but they didn't pray. It was the one who was more honorable, whose condition can say, okay, now you can relax, that is praying. Some Christians are like the brothers of Jabez. Their condition is bad and their mouth is locked. That's double tragedy. Their condition is what? Bad, very bad condition, and their mouth is still locked. Say loud and clear, we pray. Ah, come on, say it again, I will pray. Say it again, I will pray. Say it again, I will pray. Yes, people ask, why do you people pray the way you pray. Why do you? Because the devil is not joking with us. We pray when God tells us this is what he intends to do. I know that there are forces who now want to make sure it stops. And guess what? I'm not ready to be a part of the forces that want to stop it. Ah, because once I relax, I want to stop it. That's what it means. Put your two hands on your head. Everything God has ordained for me in life, it will not be aborted. It will not be stopped. It will not be upturned. It will not be resisted.
Pray now in the name of Jesus. It will not be aborted.
It will not be stopped. Pray, pray, pray. I will pray Eh, I will pray, I will pray, I will pray. Pray, pray, pray, pray, pray. It is your duty to pray. Pray, pray. Oh Jesus, in Jesus' mighty name we pray. You see, when we say pray against wickedness Some believers just feel, you know, I mean, I'm just a nice person. Who will want to fight someone like me? Oh boy, someone like you gotta wake up, man, because you're gonna be knocked out. Give me some jab, it's gonna blow out your teeth, man. Oh yeah, the devil likes you and he likes your disposition. Oh, glory to God, you speak American English? Nonsense. Let me share a story with you. I remember this should be about 15 years ago or thereabout. Said this story before. A girl was coming around, um, Ife, and, um, the father told her clearly, there's a reason myself and your mom separated. Don't go, don't look for her. That woman is whatever. But the girl just felt, you see, I need to see her, this, this. And she went there and she saw many people working as maids and all that. And I mean, she greeted the woman. There was no bit of emotions from the mom to the girl. And then the mom said, okay, come back some other time. And then she went back again. And she saw this house with several boys, guards working for her. This is not movie, this is real. And she said she observed that it was as though she had instructed them not to talk to her, but the boy was asking the girl question, hey, what's your name, what are you studying, blah blah blah. And as the mom came out of the room, saw the boy asking the girl question, but did I not tell you not to talk to my daughter? Brought out a gun right there, then shot the boy on his forehead, and he died right there. And the girl was traumatized and shivering. Here is my mother, a killer. Telling you a real story. And the woman said to the girl, I am your mother. What you have seen today, if it comes out of your mouth, I will kill you. By myself. That became double trauma. So it went to— I want to see my mother— to a torment. I'm telling you a real life. So she came to meet me as the one pastoring them, and she sat down, was shaking, and was explaining what was going on. We were still in that conversation when the mother called Afu— I've shared this story before— and asked that in my presence What are you doing with Femi Lazarus? If you love his life, leave. Stand up now, pick your bag and leave now. And she said, I am watching you as you are leaving.
You as the pastor, what are you going to do? You're just going to sit?
I said, go first. Sister, first go, let's be able to ascertain. You know, when she was on that call and the phone was on speaker, I was— I stood up to the window and I was looking, and ah, are they watching me? A sniper is somewhere. Boy oh boy, if you don't know Africa, there are spiritual snipers, man. Before the invention of CCTV, there is something called mirrors. You're gonna be seen, bro. You're gonna be seen, bro, and they can smack your head, bro. The woman was clearly a powerful person. You see, people just sit down and dispute power because you have not seen it on the other side.
I've seen few boys, I've seen things.
Oh God, the girl— I, I advised the girl, I said, you know what, I think she's tracing you through your phone. Go and change the phone now. Just go and change. Breaks your waist. Broke the SIM, bought a new SIM, was doing the configuration. It was in the days of Nokia Express Music. Gen Zs, don't worry. Nokia Express Music. I can't forget that one red phone like that. So as she finished configuring the scene, the first call that entered was— and she was like, you think you can hide from me? This was a battle we fought. Are you following what I'm saying? And even you, I'm— see, I'm— in those days, when I'm walking on the road, I'm looking at my side. If you move too close to me, I'm looking at you. I will just pause by the roadside and face like, what do you want? Because even me, I was traumatized. And that's a mother telling the daughter, I will— she— I can't forget that statement. He said, I brought you to this world, I will take you out of it. You just go ahead and go and do it. So it shows you that wickedness can exist even in the person's household. It was not an outsider that killed Cain, that killed Abel. It was his own blood. The only brother he had that killed him, not an outsider. It was his only— are you following what I'm saying? It was his only what? Brother. I'm telling you, there are times that even the enemies of a man will be those of his own household. And when God has shown you an enemy, don't form pali. He has shown you so you can take caution. You see, let me tell you something. Jesus, our Jesus Christ of Nazareth, our Savior. When Herod was looking for him, the mother was giving OT.
OT.
Run first, come back.
There are situations that he will fight and run away, leave to fight another day. Oh yes. Maraon first. I'm sorry to say this, I don't want to see any one of you dead or watch any one of you in the coffin because somebody or some situation that you refuse to take care of took you out. In the name of Jesus, you will not be taken out in your prime.
Amen.
I didn't hear that well enough.
Amen.
You will not be taken out in your prime.
Amen.
You will not be taken out in your prime. No devil will snatch your life. Are you people of God, are you following what I'm saying? I'm just, I'm just telling you the fact. This generation is trying to dispute certain things that there's nothing like spiritual warfare. If you are doing ministry in Bongong, Joel Osteen cannot be your model. Are you following what I'm saying? If you are doing ministry in Ife, Ikere, Joel Osteen cannot be your model. They say, you know, you have hope, things are going to be well. You know, you don't have to be discouraged.
You this, this, that, and this, this, this. Go and look for New Oruca Jesu.
You got it, you got it.
Oh, there you go, there you go, you got it. Are you following me this morning?
I say, you know, I start speaking for them.
Yeah, I want you guys to sit down and pray, sir.
This place, pray. Pray, pray, pray. There are forces that want to take you out, Pastor. Pray. There is a place Batu will get to, will switch for Father in the name of Jesus. Before he gets there, pray, bro.
Pray, bro.
Pray, bro. You get what I'm saying? Oh boy, I don't joke with the enemy, bro. I don't joke with the enemy, bro. I don't deceive myself. It is better I'm aggressive secretly and then come out and do some clean guy. Well, let's be tough where we should be tough. Glory to God. You will not be victims of evil. The plans of the devil will not come, will not come to pass upon your life. In the name of Jesus. The hand of God keep you strong in the name of Jesus. Now, have you heard things like, um, some prayers we pray in Nigeria are not relevant outside the country? Now let me ask a question. If you're a believer outside the country, in Germany, in Canada, in America, and you know that warfare is still relevant, put it in the comment section now.
Let them see you so they are not thinking that once you get visa Put it in the comment section. I am from America and I pray warfare prayers. I'm telling you now, I'm in UK. Many of you think it's being in UK that makes you okay. I pray warfare prayer.
You follow what I'm saying? A lot of you, it's like it's all these things is just Nigerian Christians that take it upon themselves. Over there, government, government has provided, government provides spiritual victory. And I tell you, when I travel out of the country, they pray more than Nigerians. I've observed that they pray more than Nigerians. They pray more than Nigerians. Oh yes, oh yes. I'm from Sudan and I pray warfare prayer. Oh, you should pray warfare prayers.
Oh boy, you should pray warfare prayer.
You should pray, you should pray more than us warfare prayers. Oh yes, oh yes, you should pray warfare prayers. Glory to God in the highest. Thank you, Lord. Your victory will not be won halfway, it will be complete. Those who are trusting God for the fruit of the womb, that God already begins to show you pictures, in the name of Jesus, your prayers are answered. I stand in my place as a prophet and I agree with you that your prayers are answered. Those who are standing in for healing for someone or for yourself, and you already begin to see the note of victory in your heart. I stand with you in the place of prayer this morning that the note of victory will not be aborted. Your prayers are supernaturally answered.
Your prayers are answered in the name of Jesus. Everything God already released to you will not be snatched from you. You will not sleep it off. You will not waste it. Your kairos will not be aborted. I speak these words, it will not fall to the ground in the name of Jesus. Let that contract work, let that door open, let that space be given in the name of Jesus. Receive the breakthrough, let the doors open now in the name of Jesus. It will not be stopped. It will not be aborted in the name of Jesus.
Let the hand of God rest upon you. Everything God already released will not be stolen from you. I decree be blessed by the power and the authority in the name of Jesus.
I decree be blessed.
From henceforth No force will steal from you what God already gave to you. Amen. In the name of Jesus, your victory is complete and total. Now you hear me, and let me tell you something in case you don't know. Some of you are praying with me every morning. I spend my time to pray for you. I'm telling you because I want to see you come out with testimonies. Your testimony will not be stopped. Your sun will not set suddenly. Your light will not go down. For those of you that things are already looking better now, it will not become bad. It will not become bad. God will give you victory in Jesus' mighty name. Amen. Glory to God. Now let me quickly make this announcement. God has given me the green light to go ahead and have a prayer platform for Christians in politics. And he said it's time for the Daniels to be covered, all right, for Christians in politics. So we're not those who are aspiring, you must already be in it, you must already have a functional role. So we're going to release the link, we're going to start with church on Sunday, and they're going to make sure that everyone who is on that platform is doing something because We are preparing, and some of you may not understand, all right. I began to announce, some of you have been praying with me, that God has been telling me to announce that it's time to come back home to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem, that is the walls of the country. And after that, I was speaking to the ambassador of Nigeria to— I can't remember— and he said to me, and he said, it's going to be 400 years till the first slave was taken out of Africa. 400 years. And how more prophetic can that be? The other one in Egypt for 400 years, but because of their laxity, it was 430 years. So I'm not ready to be— to relax about that. Something must change about this continent, and the church must play certain roles, particularly of prayer with it. Praise God. So once that link is out and you're here, you belong to that category of people, just make sure that you subscribe to the link. That is, you click, click, fill the form so we can know exactly what you do, and then we can have our own day announced where we will pray together. All right, I understand for most men in power we have to pray together at night and all that. God bless you so much. I can't wait to see you on Sunday morning event across the board, any of our centers. We have Sphere of Light Church in London, we have Sphere of Light Church in Port Harcourt, we have Sphere of Light Church in Lekki, we have Sphere of Light Church in Ikeja, Ogba, we have Sphere of Light Church in Ife, we have Sphere of Light Church in Morrow, we have Sphere of Light Church all right, in Port Harcourt— I'm sorry, Ibadan. We also have Light Church at Abeokuta. We also have Light Church, Kano, all right. And we— you can be a part— and Abuja. So you can be a part of any of these centers, and guess what, same effect. And this week we start 4 Sundays of therapy, and it's going to be super amazing. You, you don't just want to miss it for anything at all. And today there's still prayer meeting, so I'm going to be in church this evening. So we want to make sure you're in church and then we pray. You see, you can never be too— you cannot overpray. You cannot overpray. There's no such thing, all right? You can't pray. Glory to God. God bless you so much. I look forward to seeing you. And, um, as you go this week, your testimonies will catch up with you. Nothing dies in your hands. This will be your best weekend ever, in the name of Jesus. It is well with you in the morning. It is well with you at night. It is well with you in the evening. Everywhere you turn, you will see help. It is done in Jesus' mighty name. Amen. God bless you. See you on Monday. Have a great one.
Bye-bye.
Many have asked, how do I give my life to Christ? I want to make it very, very simple and introduce you today to the person of Jesus. Paul speaking in 1 Corinthians chapter 15 from verse 1 said, I deliver unto you the gospel that you have received and also believed, and wherein you stand. How that Christ came and died for our sins according to scriptures, and he was buried according to scriptures, and he rose on the third day according to the scriptures. When he died, he died for our sins. When he was buried, he was buried, and the Bible said he went into the lower the part of the earth and set the captives free. And when he rose on the third day, he rose for our justification. And now we are seated with Christ far above principalities and powers. It is believing in his sacrificial works and his resurrection that gets us saved. So you believe in your heart unto righteousness, and you confess Jesus as your Lord and Savior unto salvation. The moment you do this, whether you feel it or not, according to scriptures, you have been saved. So today, if you are giving your life to Christ today and you want to give your life to Jesus and accept him as your Lord, I'd like to lead you to Christ. And that is exactly why I'm here this morning. You want to say these words after me: Lord Jesus, I believe that you came into this world to die for my sins. Lord Jesus, I believe that you died for my sins. I also believe that you arose on the third day for my justification. Today I confess you as my Lord and my Savior, and I accept this gift of eternal life. In Jesus' name.
Amen.
Amen.
Now, if you have said that prayer, I can tell you for surely that there is so much joy in heaven right now. There's so, so much joy. You have made the right step, and I want to encourage you. There is a barcode on the screen. I'd like for you to scan that barcode so that you can be drafted to my discipleship platform where you can be trained in the rudiments of scriptures and you can be groomed so you can grow and the power of the salvation that you have received this morning. And I want to advise you that you keep watching Ambience TV. You can follow us on YouTube. Kindly go on your YouTube and search for Ambience TV. You can also get Ambience TV that you're watching right now, and you can also search for Femi Lazarus on YouTube and keep following very edifying content that will help you grow in Christ. I look forward to seeing you again. God bless you.
