PROPHETIC PRAYER CONTACT || 8TH APRIL 2024

Femi Lazarus leads worship and prayer, teaching that thanksgiving works even for things not yet fulfilled.

Always a joy, I mean beyond human comprehension, um, to be with you every morning, particularly to be able to strengthen your faith and, um, you know, bring to you um, the burden of the Lord for the now, even as we pray together. Amen. And I'm so excited that this is Monday, and the beautiful thing about Mondays is that we have the opportunity, you know, to use words to frame our week. Amen. To send words ahead. Now let me say this to you: anyone who puts God first will never regret it. Okay. Um, we could have the— how would I put it now— thought that I'm just going to go about everything this week and the way we want to. But this is all saying God will put you first. Hallelujah! Can we lift our hands and give Jesus praise? All right, let's give Jesus praise from the very depth of our heart. Let's honor his holy name and just bless the one who sits on the throne forever and ever. Is the Lord strong and mighty? Is the Lord mighty in battle? Who can be compared to you, Lord? And who is like unto you, O Lord? You are glorious in holiness, you are fearful in praise. You do wonders, you perform miracles. There's none like you, Jesus. There's none like you, Lord. We bless you, Father. You are God all by yourself. You are God all by yourself. We bless you, Jesus. We thank you. We thank you. We thank you. We thank you. Blessed be your holy name. Oh yes, blessed be your holy name. We thank you, Father. Oh, thank you for the blessing of a new week. Thank you for the blessedness of a new season. Thank you for your hand that is so strong and so mighty. We give you praise, we give you praise, we exalt you, Lord, we exalt you, Lord. Blessed be your holy name, blessed be your holy name. There's none like you, Lord. We thank you, we thank you. In Jesus' mighty name we're praying. Now listen, we're going to do something very unique and something really amazing. You see, all the projects and the things you are trusting God for, that you have waited and trusted and never touched, we are going to rejoice over them. Now listen, are you following what I'm saying? It is a prophetic thing, all right? The project that is not approved, the people that are trying to frustrate you, the ones that are trying to scare you, the ones that— are you, are you with me? We'll look at those situations, the ones that should have made you cry and make you shiver. You say, Father, I am grateful for this. I thank you because you are the one who turns things around. All right, thanksgiving can be done in advance. When you— are you with me? Understand that, um, God always responds. You always show up. All right. Lift your voice where you are and thank God for the things that are yet to walk. Thank him for the things. Now listen, hold on, hold on. One of the campaigns I want to bring to the body of Christ is that believers must learn to, to pray in understanding. You must have content for your prayer that— are you with me— that is doctrinally sound. All right, and communicate your belief and understanding in what is finished. All right, that is determining what you are asking for. All right, while you are praying prayers like this, don't pray in tongues, pray in understanding. Father, I want to thank you for this project that yet to be done. Thank you. Even when I know that this project has been slow, I know that by your very hand things are going to take the speed they should take. Thank you for this one that is yet to be approved, because I know that you, you are faithful regardless of the situation. All right, lift your voice loud and clear now. Begin to mention them one after the other. All right, and thank God for those things. All right, go ahead, lift your voice loud and clear. Oh, blessed be your holy name. Blessed be your holy name. Blessed be your holy name. Blessed be your holy name. Oh, thank you, Father. Thank you, Jesus. Blessed be your holy name. Blessed be your holy name. Blessed be your holy name, Jesus. Blessed be your holy name. Blessed be your holy name. Oh, thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Father. Thank you, Jesus. Oh, we bless your holy name. Thank him for the things are yet to be done. Be grateful. And while you are thanking him for those things, thank him for the ones he has done. While I am expecting this, while I'm trusting you for this, I will not approach you as one who has not done anything. Now I understand, I acknowledge your track record. You have done so many things for me. You've showed up even at times that nobody has showed up. You have been there for me. All right, I appreciate you, Lord. I acknowledge all that you have done. Thank him. He's the God that shows up always. Is the one who always show up. Give him all the praise. Thank him. Thank him for the house rent that is yet to be paid. All right, go ahead and lift your voice and thank him. Blessed be your holy name. Blessed be your holy name. In Jesus' mighty name we are praying. Let me say this. I don't know who this word is for, but it's going to save your life. If care is not taken, your depression will start every time you're approaching your birthday. Are you seeing that? The season that is supposed to be the season of gratitude, what the devil put on the table is all the things that are yet to be done. So what happens is that you are going to come back every year till you pass that test. Are you following what I'm saying? Listen, I don't know who God is saying I should tell this one. Once your bed is approaching— ah, see my life— you now start comparing your bed day or the result of your age with those who have gone ahead of you, all right, maybe the same age, forgetting that you had the same starting— you have different starting point. Let me tell you something. The one who has been running for 10 years at 60 kilometers per hour. And the one who take off last year at 240 kilometers per hour, who has speed? But you want to copy the one that has used 10 years to cover. What if you are patient, you cover in 2 years? And every time you are getting close to your birthday, you start getting sad. Yeah, another birthday, no husband. You soon marry a drunkard. Because that thing, that thing, that thing, that thing, that thing will push you out of the will of God. Another birthday, no wife. You, you see, they will package witch from the coven and give you, because that's where you are going with that thought. You must inform yourself that the strategy to getting the results you have not touched is thanksgiving. I've shown you several times, again and again. Jeremiah 30:19: Out of them shall proceed thanksgiving, the voice of them that make merry. Say, I'll multiply them, they will not be few. I'll glorify them, they will not be small. Learning to thank God for all situations, and so Are you following what I'm saying? Because I'm seeing young people having high blood pressure. It was not like that before. It's social media. People have reasons to compare them. I'm telling you, social media. Some years back, people don't get themselves stressed like this. Are you following what I'm saying? But it's media. Everybody is paranoid. Ah, you know, from the word para is from the word paranoid. You don't know what that means? Ask your interpreter. Go and type it on Google. All right, are you following what I'm saying? Am I shouting? All right, I'll really shout. You understand what I'm saying? It's a very serious thing because, um, sometimes when you are somebody who pray a lot and pray with people, you— there are results you want to see unless you discover that there's grumbling. There's murmuring that is also going side by side with the prayer. And you see, as long as the Israelites were murmuring in the wilderness, they were in indignation before God. There are things you can't get— you can't, you can't gaslight God into doing things. You can't. You know what it means to gaslight? You know, Gen Z, now you have to learn their language. Am I shouting? All right, you can't gaslight God and say, ah, God, I'm serving you. You are not the only one serving God. Oh God, calm down. You better come back and be grateful. Your birthday is this week, is next week, is all that. All you have done for all the years he has preserved you is to show him what he has not done. Even me, if I'm God, you think I'll do more? Are you following what I'm saying here? You have to go back to the place of acknowledgement. Ah. God has been good. Some of you don't even know that you are millionaires already. Say, how am I a millionaire? You don't see. Now show your mind, they work. You always say that, no, no, no, I'm just there. It is this false humility that is better than gratitude. Some of you can't see it. I was saying yesterday in church, there was a time that one-room apartment looking at it was luxury. You have moved past it. Now see where God has taken you to. You know, sometimes I just sit back and remember how that while I was on campus, my roommate— I was on bunk upstairs— he'll be playing song and disturbing my life. Some people will be playing 'Is Your Boy That Green,' man. But now God has given you a space. Gen Z, I know you don't know what I'm talking about. You know, God has been good. Let's, let's, let's be honest. Let's think of where we are coming from. We were not born like this. In the past, in 5 years ago, if they say you should come and think Wait, you too gone.
You—
I mean, I look at my life and I'm telling you, somebody was telling me, I just— I mean, I picked— I was setting up my office, picked a journal. Ah, I saw that journal, I smiled. I said this was the journal I was with in Ghana, all right, when God said years back— I mean, well over a decade— when God said I'm sending you to Nigeria, this, this, this, this is what you're gonna do, all right, this, this, that. I said, this is the journal. I remember the things that God said that I wrote in that journal that look like, ah, God, you are winding me. But now I'm seeing them come to pass. If care is not taken, you'll be progressing and be forgetting gratitude because you are living in denial. You call it humility, but that humility is making you not to be grateful grateful for what God is doing? Can you appreciate God for what he is doing? Am I shouting? Are you with me now? I want us to be grateful. TPC, I want us to be what? Let's thank God. Let's thank him. God has been good. Don't forget that for some who are going to work today and for some who are working remotely and for someone trust God for a job. That there was a time all these things, this level was something we're seeing afar, but here you are. Let's be grateful. Lift your voice in another few minutes and say thank you, Jesus. All right, say thank you, Jesus. Let's bless him. Let's honor him. Let's honor him. Oh, let's thank him. Let's thank him. Blessed be your holy name. Blessed be your holy name. We give you all the praise. We give you all the honor. We'll give you all adoration. Oh, thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Oh, thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Oh, thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. We bless your holy name. Thank you, Father. In Jesus' mighty name we are praying. Every result you want to see, it all begins with gratitude. It all begins with what? Gratitude. It all begins. Just smile now and be grateful. Which kind— wait, wait— which kind of Thanksgiving you they give you? Where you they born? They found? Walk out. You see, Christians. Ah, Christians, Christians. Ah, say let's thank God now. But I just want to thank you. You know, sometimes you tell people to thank God in church and you look at them, you are shocked. Serve the Lord with gladness. Come before his presence with— what kind of gratitude do you have that you are not happy? Imagine what you can say. Apostle, I just want to thank you. You're a good man. Yeah, your summons, and they blessed me well.
Do.
You're a good guy. Even you that they are thanking God will say, ah, ah, ah, ah. The thanks even look like something that can land, that can land, end in dirty slap. Like, ah, as you are thanking me, don't come close. Amen, amen, amen, amen. That's the way some of us are. You do well. Thank you. Makosa bilia makacha. Ezi menoko bani abale keje. What are you doing? Serve the Lord with gladness. Come before his presence with what? Singing. Know that he is the Lord, we are his people, we are the sheep of his pasture. It is he who has made us, not we ourselves. Enter into his gate with thanksgiving, into his courts with praise. You can't do that kind frowning. Are you saying that— does your smiles and laughter, does it have a role to play in how your prayer is answered? You didn't read the— Mary had dwelt good like medicine, but sorrow dries the bones. Rejoice this morning.
Rejoice.
If you listen, if you close your eyes and you pass where believers are rejoicing, you think Amplas is passing. They say rejoice, laugh, laugh, dance, do all those things. Our default setting is no. Come on, rejoice again. Wait, wait, let me ask you a question. Do you have another style apart from glory, apart from woo? No, wait, let's settle this matter. You— do you have another style apart from woo and glory? Okay, let's check. Okay, because when the Bible said make a joyful noise, the word they have told is what? Bara, that means to create, that means to invent. That is, it should be new every time. So make a joyful noise to the Lord. Oh God, oh my God, oh God. You see the way angels, eh? I'm not sure, I'm not sure angels watch skits. Our life is enough skit, I'm telling you, I'm telling you. Oh, praise God. I mean, it's good to rejoice, that's the truth. So we don't come before God every morning as people who are beggarly and sorrowful. In all honesty, we come as one who acknowledge who our Father is, what he has done before, and that he's going to do new things. Amen. Now you see, we carry this same spirit and we begin to speak to our week. It is a blessed week. I want to prophesy now. I think I saw something online, um, okay, I'm going to talk about later, but I want to prophesy. And just prophesy into the week and release words. All right, go ahead. All right, go ahead and release words. Come on, speak those words into your week. Speak those words into your week. Oh, speak those words, speak those words, speak those words, speak those words into your week. It is a blessed week. Now please pray in understanding. All right, pray in understanding. Pray in understanding. All right, it is a blessed week. Release those words, release those words. It is a blessed week. Everything you lay— I lay my hands upon this week to do is blessed. This week God sends men to be a blessing to me even as I'm a blessing to men. New doors are supernaturally open to me this week. I am not stranded, I am not limited. I walk in pleasant places. Everywhere the sole of my feet steps, I possess the land. The Lord make me to advance till I am great, very great, and exceedingly great. In the name of Jesus, I walk into prepared blessings this week. In the name of Jesus, the hand of the Lord is upon my life. And he leads me into a place he has prepared for me, in the name of Jesus. Throughout this week, I manifest greatness, manifest the blessings of the Lord, in the name of Jesus. My life is preserved and ensured in the covenant of the blood of Jesus. Everywhere I look, I see goodness. When I turn around, I see goodness, in the name of Jesus. The hand of the Lord is supernaturally strong upon my life. Oh yes, I walk on in grace, in favor and in goodness. I am not afraid of anything the enemy tries to throw my way because the light of the Lord is my strength. Oh yes, go ahead, release words now. All right, this week, that contract, you are getting it. No more disappointment. Yes, no more disappointment. In the name of Jesus, I break through on every side. In the name of Jesus, no more disappointment. Everywhere I step, I find the mercies of God. In Jesus' name. Oh, thank you, Lord. In Jesus' mighty name we're praying. Let me say this. In fact, there are some teachings I want to redo just to re-edit a few things and come out in more plain language. The hand of God prospers men. I have seen cases in my life of people who did not know me before then, all right? Maybe somebody was just praying somewhere, sometimes from different countries, and God just said, what you are praying for, I want you to go and look for my servant Femi Lazarus. And be a blessing to him. I've seen it happen several times. I am prophesying, God by himself will lead men to help you.
Amen.
The load you are carrying alone, he will send helpers and destiny helpers to help you carry it. You will not do life alone. The goodness of God speaks for you.
You. Amen.
In the name of Jesus, the mercy of God speaks for you. Grace upon grace, goodness upon goodness. Now listen to this: there will be no disappointment this week. You enjoy all that God has for you in the name of Jesus. I bless you in Jesus' name. Now listen to this. While, um, God showed me a vision, the crux of that vision is that there are people who have been following God until they allow fear to stagnate them. You'll have to bust out and do certain things with boldness and audacity. Are you with me? And don't allow yourself to be limited, all right, by anything whatsoever that brings fear. Don't let fear contaminate your heart. Are you following what I'm saying here? You're about to start big things, all right, and those big things will happen You will not fail God in the name of Jesus. All right, you don't let fear stop you. Now let me say this to us. If you are here under the sound of my voice, you have not given your life to Jesus, it's a good time to do so. All right, what do you do? Believe in your heart that Jesus came to this world to die for your sins and that he died. Believe that he arose on the third day for your His crucifixion. All right, you know He rose. Confess His lordship as your way of keying into what He has done. All right, that is how you get saved. So if you are doing that, say these words after me: Lord Jesus, I believe that you came to this world to die for my sins. I believe that you died for my sins. I also believe that you rose on the third day for my justification. Today I confess you as my Lord and Savior, and I accept this gift of eternal life. In Jesus' mighty name, amen. If you have said that, you have said the most profound, all right, confession anybody can ever make. All right, here on it, there's a contact on the screen, 0903095973. 9735. 09030959735. I want you to send a message, all right, to that contact and say, Apostle, all right, I just gave my life to Christ this morning. I mean, we are waiting for you eagerly, all right? Send a message, all right, to that contact, and then we'll do well to receive you. Are you following what I'm saying here? All right, this week we are going to be praying into the subject of the goodness of God. There's going to be 5 days all right, of the goodness of God. That doesn't mean God is only good for 5 days, but we are joining into it in words. And one other thing we're going to be doing throughout this week is I'll be rejoicing, okay? So unlike we starting with worship, you know, slow songs like we think it is, we're going to be starting most PPCs this week with the praise sessions, the fast songs. There is a revival of praise. Going on in Sphere of Light Church. I think the world doesn't know about it as they should. Even my people, I know they are watching me like this, most of them don't know how to dance, but we're going to import it here. I just want to— I want us— I don't want us to have this in church alone. We want to export this thing, all right, to the body of Christ. So, um, we're going to be dancing and praising God, all right, and playing their songs and them powerful songs of praise every morning. Then we journey into the source of what? The goodness of God. This week is blessed for you supernaturally. Listen, you are going with the hand of God. No devil can shut you down. You will return with thanksgiving, with testimonies, with all-around breakthrough, favor everywhere you turn. You have supernatural insights to know what to You will invest in the right things and right people and right places. I bless you. It is well with you in Jesus' mighty name. Amen. I love you guys dearly from the depth of my heart. Can't wait to see you tomorrow. All right, you know, Mondays are quite short. Tomorrow I see you and then we have a great time again in God's presence. Have an amazing time. Bye-bye.
Come on, make it loud to your lover. Make it loud to your father. Don't wait for a song this morning. Lift up a sound to the lover. Lift up a sound to your Father.
