PROPHETIC PRAYER CONTACT || 8TH JANUARY 2024

Call them to church. Tell them, welcome to the house of God. Welcome to the presence of God. Welcome to another Bible study. Ensure you're doing that. You're walking to one or two people, welcome them, give them a warm smile, a warm handshake. Tell them, welcome.

Hallelujah!

It's another beautiful time in the presence of the Lord. And as the psalmist said, he said, I was glad when they said unto me, let us go to the house of the Lord. I don't know if you are like the psalmist tonight, like me. I'd like you to lift up your voices and bless the name of Jesus. For the privilege to appear before his presence, for the privilege to come. Your love has drawn us and we have come, Jesus. We have come to your throne, to your feet. We give you praise, Jesus. We worship you, we worship you, we exalt you. Thank him for his intentionality over your life. Thank you for the things he is doing in and through your life. It is of the mercies of the Lord that we are not consumed. If not the Lord that had been on our side, now may Israel say. If not for the Lord that had been on our side, now may Israel say. Can we go ahead and thank him? Can we thank him? Can we thank him? Can we thank him? Can we thank him? Mande braha sotelebrante kela. E ruba balateske pande bryatas kopaila. Bless the name of Jesus tonight. Lift up your voices, he wants to hear you exalt him. Oh, Rabba Andresi Pranteki Palatosha. Father, we give you praise. Father, we worship you. We exalt you. As a people of faith, we say thank you. Thank you for your word that is ever fresh in the house. Ela maratoski pa Andresi kapaila dabash. Can you go ahead and commit the service into the hand of the Lord this evening? Ask the hand of God that the hand of God will be evidently seen in tonight's service, that the Spirit of God will find free course in our midst. Can you go ahead and make that your prayer? That the word will come expressly, that there will be the hearing of faith and the working of miracles in the name of Jesus. Go ahead and make that your prayer this evening. Mande kaprahat esh kopi libra hando si brahat esh kipa. We thank you because your word is coming with power, for you sent forth your word and your word healed them and delivered them of all the We thank you because your word comes yet again. We thank you because your word liberates us. We thank you because your word energizes us. We thank you because your word empowers us. We thank you because your word liberates us. It gives us freedom. It gives us liberty. It gives us joy. We are renewed from the inside out. We say thank you, Jesus. Ola barateske pranta kilabo shatai. Ema hando si brakatela. For in Jesus' mighty name we have prayed. Now let us lift up our voice and thank Jesus for his goodness over your life. I want you to reflect for one minute. Think about how far he has brought you. Think about how far he has brought you. I mean, we are in the final week in the month of November, which is the second to the last month in the year 2023. Can you remember how it started? It is the mercy of God that has kept us. Oh, I don't know about you, but that's my testimony. So can you lift up your hands to your Father? You're not lifting up your hands to me, you're not lifting up your hands to any of the pastors, you are lifting up your hands to Jesus, the one who is the mediator of the new covenant, the one who is the firstborn from the dead, the one who is the pattern son, the El Shaddai, the Elohim God. Can you lift up your voice and worship him? Thank you, Jesus. My victory is in your blood. My confidence is in your name, Jesus. You took the pain so I could smile. So much you did without a price. That's why I sing. Ese, ese, ese o emashe. Yes, Lord. Ese olubala.

Hey!

Eshewu!

Emashe!

Can you lift up your hands all over this house and bless the name of Jesus? E la barateske pranta ko pariateske paja. Ziro pante kapadia so prande. We bless you, Jesus. We give you praise. We thank you, Lord.

We thank you, Lord. We thank you, Lord. We thank you, Lord.

Go ahead and bless the name of Jesus. Let his praises be on our lips this evening.

From the depth of your heart, lift your voice.

You've helped us.

We give you glory. Come on, lift up your hands wherever you are and bless the name of Jesus.

Worship him, worship him, worship him.

Let his praises be upon your lips this evening.

Lift up your hands, lift up your voice and declare.

Let his worship rise, let his worship rise on your lips.

Lift your voice and say, "Eshew!" Ese, ese, ese, ese, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. Ese, ese, ese, ese, ese.

Can we lift up our hands and sing one more time? Thank you, Jesus. See how far you've helped us. I'd like you to ponder upon the goodness of God. Arabba kothia. If not for the mercies of God, now may Israel say, I am. When the proud waves wanted to swallow us, but the mercy of the Lord said no.

Eshu, Ema She.

You look past my sin, my guilt, my shame and poured your love.

You look beyond me, oh Jesus. You look beyond me, oh.

You look past my sin, my guilt, my shame and poured your love, oh God.

You look beyond me, oh Lord. You look beyond me, oh.

You look past my sin, my guilt, My shame and poured your love.

You look beyond me, oh. You look beyond me, oh.

And I love this part that says, ah, I'm the one that you have showed mercy. Aya, aya. You have showed me mercy. Hey, you have shown me mercy. I don't know the story of your life, but the story of my life is, oh, I'm the one that you have showed mercy.

You have shown mercy.

You have shown me mercy. You have shown— sing! You look past my sin.

You pass my sin, my guilt, my shame. You hold the law. You look beyond me. You look beyond me. You look beyond me. You look beyond me. You look past my sin, my guilt, my shame. You look beyond me! You look beyond me! Oh oh oh oh— you look beyond me! I'm the one! I'm the one that you have shown mercy to! Hey Lord! Hey Lord! Hey God! I am the very one who has showed me mercy today! Yes! You have shown me mercy. I'm the one— I am the very one that you have showed mercies to. Yes, you have showed me mercy. You have showed me grace. You have showed God— I'm the one— I'm the very one who has been blessed by your goodness. You have showed me mercy.

Mercy?

Yeah! You look past my sin! My guilt, my shame! And for your love you look beyond me! Lord, you look beyond me! You look past my sin, my guilt, my shame! And for Your love you look beyond me!

Hey-oh!

Lord, you look beyond me, you look beyond my flaws.

You're the only one that can show me mercy.

Amen, amen, amen. Good morning everyone and happy, happy New Year. Amen. Who is excited to be back? I have missed you guys categorically. Femi Lazarus, in all honesty, I've looked forward to this moment where we'll be back again to get very accurate navigations as touching, you know, God's plan for us this year, where we, we know precisely what to do by the Spirit and then to pray through in certain areas much more. One of my very deep desires this year is to be able to hold your hand spiritually, and you will not have the regret you had last year in terms of being a person of prayer and being a person of the word. Like Peter said in Acts of the Apostles chapter number 6, he said, it is not the reason for us to leave the word of God and serve at tables. He said, we look amongst us seven men of honest report full of the Holy Ghost that we may appoint over these things, he said, but we will give ourselves to what? Prayer and to the ministry of the word. These are the two prerequisites in the kingdom, just like mathematics and English is to West African Examination, that's WAEC in English, um, in Nigeria. That is, these are the prerequisites. We'll give ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word. And that's, that's one of my greatest expectations this year, that I will be able to help you and hold your hands and teach you to pray, and then also I will be able to help you get a very good study life. All right, so towards the end of this conversation, I'm going to show you the Bible study plan, all right, so that you can prepare. So I will— every day I'll give you Bible study plan that you should read, um, for the day, all right. And then I'll give you Bible study plan that you should read and so that you can be precise. And I'm going to follow you up on that, you know, every time I show up here, um, before you. Amen. Hallelujah. God has so much in stock for us. It's, it's going to be— it's not even going to be— have you seen the word for the year? Um, it's a big year. Um, if the media can please, if you can get ready the video, um, for the year, um, let me know when you're ready with it. It so that I'm going to show you, um, the video for the year. For those of us who missed the entire gist, you can see it and much more. One of the things I'm going to be doing here, um, is that some of the things that were said in bits and parables, um, I will, I will be unfolding. Why? Because the place to unfold parables is amongst those who are praying. Let me explain what I mean. Jesus will tell the people parable about the sower, parable about the talent parable, about this and that. But he will always explain that parable to his disciples. That is, unto you now, Mark 4:11, it is given to know and to understand the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven. Are you ready with that? So let me allow them show you in a minute, all right, the video for the word of the year, um, particularly so that you will, will be aligned in the same place, and then you will to, you know, know what we're expecting, and then we begin, we begin in that direction. Amen. So over to you now, Media.

Time unfolds, a journey marked by stories yet untold, like pages turned in an ancient scroll. This is the tale of A Year Like Ten. We are writing history, a symphony of moments, A crescendo of cheer, embarking on a journey as the new year draws near. Beyond Mastery: Bidding farewell to smallness and mediocrity forever. We are conquering uncharted territories, infiltrating systems, nations, tribes, tongues, and cultures. Like the mustard seed, we come unassuming, yet dominating the corridors of power with with audacity, not repeating the mistakes of Joseph. We are apostles in the marketplace, men who have been through the crucibles of pruning, forging, and making of giants. Our broken bones are badges of honor that we through the scent of water have survived, and now we crave nothing but our Lord and his kingdom Come, come, come.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

Welcome to 2024. Welcome to the big year.

Hallelujah! So officially again, I want to tell you everyone that you are welcome to the big year. Amen. Welcome, welcome to the big year. And I'm going to, I'm going to be, you know, um, no prophecy really is self-fulfilling. There are, there are things that you must know to make the fulfillment of prophecy a daily occurrence in your life. And, um, that is exactly what I'm going to be doing. I have studied and I've observed the reason why the life of many believers does not reflect the potency of the prophecies that have gone ahead of them. I have seen where the mistakes are made, and I've seen that most times it is because words only goes forth without any proper interpretation. Not interpretation in terms of what the word means, but interpretation in terms of the posture that is required. So we may call a year a big year, and the big year is smaller than the one you didn't call a big year, as long as you do not understand the right initiative and the posture of wisdom. Are you following what I'm saying here? All right, so what must we do to make it a big year indeed? I had a teaching in church yesterday, um, giving insight as touching, you know, what we must do differently this season. And I'm going to show you a scripture, all right? I'm going to show you a scripture. Jeremiah chapter number— all right, is it 30, verse 19? Now Jeremiah 30, verse 19 says— Jeremiah 30, verse 19 says, out of them— if you can project scriptures for me, happy glad— out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry. If I say that I will multiply them, they will not be few. I'll glorify them, they will not be small. All right, if you can, can you give me that scripture in Message Translation? Jeremiah chapter number 30, verse 19. All right, so we're going to be having practices, all right, that initiate things in the spirit. We'll balance that with the things that you must do well in the physical. Amen. So one of the things that you should do properly and differently this year is to praise God. Having read the Bible, seen the story of the Israelites, you understand that murmuring has no economic, kingdom economic value. Ah, no. What it does is that it takes people far behind the desired timing of God for their life. Instead of murmuring and complaining and wailing and crying and comparing your life with life of other people, rather give are you following what I'm saying now? So the Bible says that when we give thanks, we are multiplied, we will never be few. When we give thanks, we are glorified, we will never be small. So you are standing before a door and they are saying the key that opens this door is called Thanksgiving. And somebody's saying, eh, how will I give thanks in the face of all the things I'm going through? How will I rejoice? I mean, this is a word saying this is the key key that will open this door. Say, you see, if I give thanks now, God will think that he has done everything for me, so let me not even deceive God.

This is the key.

Do you have the scripture? Project the scripture, all right, that opens the door. Give thanks. Jeremiah 30, verse, verse, verse, verse 19. Hallelujah! And I'm going to be walking you through how to give heartfelt thanksgiving. Do you have Message Translation? All right, give me Message Translation. Look at what it says in Message Translation. All right, out of them shall proceed thanksgiving, words that make merry. I will multiply them, they shall not be few. I will also glorify them, they shall not be small. Look at this, say, thanksgiving will pour out of their windows, the laughter will spill through the doors. Can somebody laugh? Ah, laugh, laugh, laugh! Come on, laughter will spill through the doors. Things will get better and better. Depression days are over.

They will thrive, they will flourish. The days of contempt will be over in the name of Jesus. I love this. Thanksgiving will pour out of their windows. Laughter will spill through their doors. Things—

because King James, you know, I was, I was going to say, I wanted people to be aware of King James, but I'm not going to say publicly yet. King James sometimes hold many things back.

He said things will get better and better.

Depression days are over. How will things get better and better? Thanksgiving out of the windows. Thanksgiving out of the windows. Thanksgiving out of the windows. Giving thanks out of the windows. Laughter will spill through the doors. Laughter. Ah, somebody has— some people are saying that with the things you are going through, you should be man crying now. Are you even finding space? Laughter will spill through the doors.

Glory to God! When this happens, things will get better and better. Depression days are over. They will thrive, they will flourish. The Bible says it is with joy we draw from the wells of salvation. Let me tell you one of the things you draw from the wells of salvation with joy. It is inspiration. Meaning that as you begin to rejoice, the atmosphere on your inside is so ventilated that you come out knowing what to do. Are you following what I'm saying? Somebody has been on the business, say, I don't even know the way out, what's the next step towards taking it to the next level. As you continue rejoicing, you just know this is the route we should go, let's go this route, this is what we must do in this season. Joy is a fetcher.

Praise God.

That is a principle. We rejoice.

You know, I want us to have moment of praise. We just want to make sure that we check for songs that, that we don't have copyright issues. All right, I, I want us to really have moment of praise and dancing before God. Praise God. Praise dancing. Thank Thanksgiving. What a better, what a better way to start the year, to come with rejoicing and all that.

And oh God, just make sure this year is better, because if this year is not better, I'm going to, I'm going to leave you. This year I don't, I don't have chizu. They say we should not give for anybody, no give for anybody 2024.

So even you yourself, if you don't show up, bye-bye. That is what you say when you give God time. Rather, we submit ourselves to hands. Hallelujah! Amen, amen, amen. Who is the person that is here that is coming to give that heartfelt thank you? Who is the person that is here that is coming to say thank you? Ha! Whenever I want, as I praise God, I go on my knees, I roll on the floor. Okuere ogun, oshiwa ju ogun la lo, keni ogun la bo. That is the one that goes before you to battle, the one that is also coming behind you. The Mighty One of Israel, the one who doesn't bend, who doesn't grow old, the only ancient one that you cannot call old because of his renewness is God all by himself. He's the source of strength. My source of vitality, is the power behind my being, the essence of my existence, is God all by himself, is the one who doesn't know feebleness, the one who doesn't know weakness, is the Lord above all lords and the King above all kings. We come to pour out incense. Worship is ministering unto the Lord. To minister to a person is to be a waiter, to serve. You bring it in a dignified manner without any iota of complaint. I have come to give you all the praise. The Lord Strong and Mighty, Jehovah Sabaoth, the Lord of Hosts himself, the Lord of Angels, Hami.

When you begin to do this, all right, the room is going to be filled with the presence of the glory of the Lord, and you are going to be seeing the movement of the Shekinah glory like never before. This is how we pray, and this is what I want you to learn.

I read one of the books of the man of God called Rick Joyner, and there was a beggar that I used to know on their street. You know, Rick Joyner was that man that God gave access to heavenly vision many times, more than many people, at least he saw the vision of heaven plainly many times. All right, he saw the vision of heaven, and one of those visions he met a beggar. I wasn't of that beggar again. He met a beggar that he used to know. Pastor Daniel was not the beggar.

All right, and the beggar was sitting in a high-ranking place where you have people you call generals. He said, what has this guy done to deserve this?

And one of the things Jesus told him in that vision is that you have your house I bless you with, said, but this beggar sleeps in his carton that he has made as a cubicle. He said, when you get to your own house and complain and murmur about the things that this, this, he said, this beggar will fill the place that he has with worship, and my glory will descend in the midst of that place. I've said, God said, my glory used to descend I mean, sometimes somebody say that I'm not living kind of place I want to live. Fill that place with the glory of the Lord. This is how we get shifted. Are you following what I'm saying here? Are you following? I've made a mistake. I didn't tell you to share this broadcast and invite family and friends. Let me give you, um, 15 seconds to do that now. All right, share this broadcast, like it so the algorithm can take it to many more people. Um, I mean If only half of us will even obey to like it, it will go far, you know. But please, like, will not show us who is liking. Don't worry, just like it. All right, hallelujah. Ah, is there a worship song that I want us— I just want us to raise a sound this morning. There's this new Sphere of Light Church sound. Do you have it? There's a new sound. We are going to, we're going to get that ready tomorrow. Amen. Can we, wherever we Is it possible, except you are driving on the bus or in the car, can you go before the Lord on your face and say, Father, I have come to say thank you? I just, just giving praise to him, just, just, just giving praise to him. I'm not going to complain this year. Ah no, I just want to worship you. I just want to return all praise, all glory to you. I just want to return all adoration. I just want to let you know that there is none like you in my life. There's none compared to you. You are God all by yourself. Eshu, I just want to worship you and honor you because you deserve all the praise, you deserve all the glory, you deserve all adoration, you deserve all honor. All right, I want you to lift your voice loud and cry, I just want to worship you. That is I just want to bless your holy name. I just want to thank you. I just want to thank you. I just want to thank you. There's none like you, Daddy. There's none like you. Thank you for loving me this much. Thank you that I can call you Daddy. Ah, Eshu, thank you. Thank you, Daddy. Thank you. Thank you. I want you to bless his holy name. This is the secret, beloved. This is the secret. This is how we This is how we move. This is how our life gets transformed. Oh yes, out of us shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry. And he said he will multiply us, we will not be few, and he will glorify us, we will not be small. This is the secret. No murmuring, no complaining, no agitation, no restlessness. Just giving God praise. Just giving God praise from the depth of your heart. Oh, thank you, Lord. We bless you, Lord. You are holy and forever you are God. Hallelujah, hallelujah, you are God. Don't worry, I'm just singing my own song. You too sing your own song, please. You too sing your own song. All right, don't mind my song. If you don't know what it means, just sing your own song. Thank you, Lord. Makironte kerinte kebru fenderoko shente. Oh, thank you, Father. We bless your holy name. Rekenderoko shente. Oh, thank you, Jesus. We bless your holy name, Daddy. We bless your holy name. We bless your holy name. We bless your holy name. In Jesus' mighty name we are praying. We have been Having 7 days of worship in my private intercessory group that we end today, we are going to commence 7 days of praises here also. All right, 7 days of praises that what we are just going to come and do is just to come and dance and thank God and give him praise. I'm not complaining I just want to honor you. I just want to bless your holy name. Oh, thank you, Lord. This is, this is the secret. This is the secret. This is the secret. One time Kenneth Copeland called Bishop Oyedepo and said, we taught you this faith thing. Where are all these people coming from?

Where?

What is the secret? He said, I danced them in. This is the secret. Never you talk to God as if he's your boy. 'If you don't do this, I will leave you.' Ah, Femi Lazarus, you submit yourself in obedience to him. Hallelujah! Are you following what I'm saying here? Are you learning something? Are you learning something? This is the secret. For many of you, this is the missing link. You have complained and yet things have not shifted because you do not understand that complaining is not the way.

Rather give him thanks even for the things that you feel are backward. Thank you, Lord. The wife of Job said, 'Curse God and die.' Job said, 'Though he slay me, yet will I thank him, will I yet, will I praise him.' In the midst of whatever situation, I will praise your holy name.

Amen.

Lift your hands and just say, thank you, Lord. Oh, thank you, Lord. I want to thank you. We bless your holy name. Thank you, Daddy. I just want to thank you and honor your holy name. Oh, Rekindero. Rekenderogo shenterogo shenterogo shenterogo. Oh yes, Lord. Randerogo shenterogo sekenderogo shenterogo. Rinderoku sikrenderogo shenterogo. Oh, just want to bless your holy name. Oh, thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. In Jesus' mighty name we're praying. Femi Lazarus, there's somebody here. You paid somebody and the person— more like you paid for your goods to be delivered and you did not see both the goods and the money till date. You paid for your goods to be delivered and you did not see both the goods and the money till date, and you have been wondering What is going on? You've not seen both the goods and the money till then. I don't know that person, all right, but the Lord said to tell you, I am restoring all that the cankerworms and the locusts have eaten. That is the word of the Lord. He said, I am restoring all that the cankerworms and the locusts have eaten. Now there's another word from the Lord, but I want you to first go ahead and praise before I will tell you. Just go ahead one more time, say thank you, Lord. One more time, just say thank you, Lord. Oh, thank you, Jesus. Oh yes, thank you, Lord. Thank you, Jesus. Just go ahead and bless his holy name and honor him.

He deserves all the praise and all the glory.

There's absolutely none like you, Lord. No one like you, Jesus. No one like you. No one like you, awi my ewu. No one like you. You're the God. Oh, you are the God of what? Of everything. No one's like— no one like you. You're not a man, you're not a man, you're the God who opens doors no one can shut. You're not a man, oh, you're not the man, you're the God of everything. No one like you, no one like you, Jesus, no one like you. I see favor No one like you, no one like you, no one like you, Abba Father, no one like you. Awima ye on. You are the God of everything, no one like you. Amen. I see us praising God, worshiping and dancing, and in the midst of it, increase on all sides. I see people making progress, supernatural progress, increasing on all sides, increasing on all sides. I see things changing right in the midst of praises. Yes, I see the confused now knowing light and what way to go. I see things increasing on all sides. Oh, I'm telling you, I'm seeing families that have been associated with lack and backwardness, all of a sudden, by the mighty hand of God, as they minister to the Lord, I see things changing. I see a new season I see a new season that is void of tears. I see a new season that is void of scarcity, a season where you no longer eat bread in scarcity. In the name of Jesus, I see that season coming upon you this year. I see the things that you have bowed your knees to cry to God for, suddenly I see this season coming and they begin to run after you. In the name of Jesus, I see things turning around for good. The things you thought will take many years, I see them happening soon because by the finger of God is shrinking time.

In this season, I see time shrink looking for somebody. In the name of Jesus, the things you have concluded will take years, will take pain and all that. Oh, I see God showing up and things are changing. In the name of Jesus, I see the hand of God upon you, and I see you outrunning the horse of the king. In the name of Jesus, I see those who have left you behind and have laughed and have mocked and have said, oh, you didn't know the way, look at this. I see them suddenly coming to ask, teach us the ways of the Lord. I see you with the hand of God upon your life outrunning horses and chariots in the name of Jesus. I see you outrunning this year. You are outrunning, you are overtaken by the finger of the Lord. You are aligned and positioned.

Your mockers are coming back to learn the ways of God in the name of Jesus.

I see somebody specifically, God is silencing your mockers specifically. God is silencing your mockers. Specifically, God is silencing your mockers in the name of Jesus. Specifically, God is silencing your mockers. Look at what I saw. Thank you, Lord. I see a table being prepared. I see a table being prepared. Don't give up that person you are about to turn back. Stop now. Don't give up. That person you are about to turn back, don't. You're about to make a decision that is contrary to your waiting process, don't. Because I see a table being prepared and I see the table being set and your enemies were invited first. So it looked like they have been called to a table you don't have access to. But rather, I see God preparing a table before you in their presence. They have only invited to see the man they have mocked eating.

The fact that they are sitting first at the table does not mean that the table belongs to them.

I see that person you are about to stop trusting God, and I see that table being prepared.

And I see your mockers, your oppressors were invited to the table first, and you are wondering. And God said, this is the fulfillment of that which I said, that I've set a table before you in the presence of your enemies and anoint your head with oil and your cup runs over. There is a table that is being prepared for somebody who is about to quit on the table. Do not give up what God is doing. Don't turn your back on God. Don't give up on God because he won't give up on you. He's able. There is a table that is being prepared for you. Amen. This year, let me tell you something. Something. It is a, you know, it's a year of many tables, but this is a year that strategies will fail. It's a year that strategy will fail. It is a year for those who have learned to know the ways of the Lord and those who have come to inquire. There is going to be two directly opposite experiences. Those who have mastered the way of the altar will see how that things are so easy But those who have been using their senses will be failed, and they will wonder many times over, why is this year like this? Because God is going to disappoint the plans of the crafty. The crafty there does not always mean the wicked, so that they will not be able to perform the enterprise. It is a year for those who have come to learn to say, Father, which way do I turn? Amen, amen, amen. Oh, thank you, Lord. Thank you, Jesus. Things are turning around. Things are turning around. That person, that table is being set before you, and you will not give up on God. I'm singing that song for you again. Don't give up on God because he won't give up on you. He's able. Oh, thank you, Lord. And let me, let me tell you this. Let me— go and listen to my teaching. It's yet to be uploaded. I don't know if it will be uploaded today or tomorrow. There's a teaching I taught at Ibadan last week, all right? That's the special apostolic visit to our church in Ibadan. Go and get that teaching, combine it with my teaching at the crossover The teaching I taught at the crossover service is a prophecy. Many people don't know. I think it's been uploaded here on this same YouTube channel, all right, titled Exodus. Am I correct? Just look for that message titled Exodus, all right? Go, please, I beg you, I beg you, because prophecies will come. I'm not the kind of person that says, 'Thus says the Lord,' no, this will be— I will just show you in scripture. Go and listen to that teaching. Go and listen to the one I taught at Ibadan.

When you can listen to this teaching, you will know.

That is, you begin to know, okay, this year I'm supposed to build structure not as a person anymore because there is a new wave in my life. I showed in that teaching how that— why Israel came to Egypt as a family, but while they were in Egypt, they had become a nation. But they did not know. And because they did not know, they could not take the posture a nation should take, to have their own private internal defense structure. They did not have those things. Many of you are going through tribulations and troubles, but you did not know that even in the midst of the tribulation you have grown. There's a— yes, you look at yourself and say you have not come out, but according to the new level that you are not seeing yet, you ought to begin to put this structure in place because coming out is a settled matter. Dear Joseph, don't feel you are not favored when the king's butler is released and you are forgotten for 3 extra years. It is not enemy from father's house. It is because the day you will come out, you'll be a prime minister. You are not coming out as others have come out. Wait on God. Is that okay now? Wait on God. What is happening is not disfavor. God wants to put you in a position that no adversary can withstand against it. I sense an anointing of the Spirit. I sense a very, very strong anointing of the Spirit to equip men with the wisdom to— I see the Joseph wisdom, the Daniel wisdom, to become mighty in sectors, to become mighty around the corridors of power.

I see that.

I just, I just saw it. I see that wisdom upon somebody right now. Can you get up on your feet it. Put your hands on your head and say, I receive it. I receive this wisdom to come in the corridors of power, to the wisdom to get up into an height I've never entered before.

I walk in it. I carry it. Can I give you a minute to pray that? A minute. A minute to pray that. Jesus. Oh yes.

Please pray. I give you 30 more seconds. Please pray. Please pray. Please pray. Please pray. You're not a man, no. You're not the man I know. You're the God who opens doors no man can shut. You're not the man, you're not the man, you're the God of everything, no one like you.

Amen. There's somebody connected. Amen.

There's somebody connected to this broadcast. A major door was shut, then it became partially shut. And you notice that some things reduced in your life, and one of your major, major question this year is, do I go back?

Will this door become fully open again? He said, yes, I have gone ahead of you.

It looks like more like like an organization that you lost favor with. First the door was shut, then partially shut, and just recently you've been seeing the person check up and it looks like there's a space for you to still have favor, and you are asking, do I go back. Yes, because God said, I've gone ahead of you to prepare that way. All right, I don't know who this person is, but it doesn't look like you are the only one that fell out of favor there. Amen. Oh, thank you, Lord. Just so you know that you are the one— this, you just told the person beside you now that this is my prophet. I heard you. Amen. Thank you, Father. All right, thank you, Jesus. Oh, thank you, Father. We bless your holy name. Tomorrow I'm going to be teaching you very practical, and we're going to be praying about things to do to key into the prophecies for the year. Very, very practical things that you will do. I gave you a parable this morning. I gave you a parable this morning that, dear Joseph, it is not disfavor when the person you were imprisoned together, that you even prophesied to, is brought out and you are forgotten. Aborting. It is not disfavor. It is a cycle that needs to be completed. Because from the day you come out, you are not coming out as an ex-convict. You are coming out as a man that will become the Prime Minister that same day. Amen. Never be quick to call conspiracy what men call conspiracy. You must understand the ways of the Lord. Hallelujah. Some things may look slow, but they are coming big. Amen.. And in a way that all those who have said, take this step, take this step, out of self-preservation, will— they will hold their mouth and say, thank God you did not obey us. Many of your advisors are about to regret because they will discover for the first time in their life that they are not speaking by the Spirit of the Lord. Many of your advisors are about to start regretting, I'm telling you, because the pattern of God for your life is just so different and contrary to human wisdom.

Wisdom.

Amen. Praise God. Are you with me? Are you with me? Thank you, Lord. There's such an anointing here this morning to help people interpret their seasons. There's such an anointing of the Spirit. Amen. While you may not be hearing me shout, fall down, and all those things, which I'm not saying is bad, But if you stay consistent and we pray together, you will not lack light and direction. You know, if you listen to my teaching, the first audio you will hear is that God told Apostle Femi Lazarus that a time will come where my wisdom will be needed to navigate tough times in the body of Christ. Then will I cause your voice to be heard, that all those who hear you will not lack light and direction. We are in those days now. We're in those days now. You, I'm telling you, I'm going to walk you by the help of the Spirit, and we will know, we will leave this prayer meeting every day knowing what to do. And my greatest joy is that you are going to also have a prayer life. All right, so fasting for the year begins on the 11th. Can you please project it? On the 11th, which is this week, Thursday All right, on the 11th, fasting begins on the 11th. Um, so you should get set, and we're going to be doing it for 21 days. All right, fasting begins on the 11th and we do it for 21 days. So 11th till 31st. All right, so you have today, eat what you want to eat. Tomorrow is what you want to eat. Wednesday, eat what you want to eat. But 11th, we begin waiting upon the Lord for the year and we do it for 21 days. And, um, we're going to be having prayer watches. So as touching the Bible study plan for today, you start the book of Romans. You will read Romans 1, chapter number 1 and 2. Then you read Psalms 1 and 2 also, right? That's 4 chapters. You can split it. Romans 1 and 2, Psalms chapter number 1 and 2. All right. So you start from there, and then when I come tomorrow, as I round up, I'm going to check up on those who study their Bible so I can follow you up. It is awesome, um, growth for us as Christians. We are not trying to just say, God, give me this. I want to raise people who are in love with God and can get their spiritual life sorted. We're going to introduce prayer watches, all right, which is going to be a very intense one. It's going to be about 5 different prayer watches so that that, you know, at intervals you can master the culture of prayer. Hallelujah! This is what we do, is prayer, is prayer, is prayer. Anybody who knows our ministry, prayer, right? We not shout about it, but that is the culture. Hallelujah! All right, Romans chapter number 1 and 2, Psalms chapter number 1 and 2. We are not going to miss it. We have started studying the Bible for the year. So in case you have been feeling guilty that since 2024 have started you've not been reading your Bible, Now we can cover up. Okay, don't live in guilt or regret. Hallelujah! If you are here this morning and you have not given your life to Jesus Christ, I want to encourage you in the name of Jesus that you make the decision now and enjoy the life that is actually for you in Christ. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son. That whosoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. All right, that's all it takes is for you to believe in your heart that Jesus is the Son of God, then confess with your mouth. All right, and then Bible says when you confess that, now it is unto salvation. And then there's no greater love than this, than a man to have, than to lay down his life. All right, so for his friends, and Jesus has done that. That for you, and you want to accept Jesus today, all you have to do is to confess him, all right, with your mouth. And if you want to do so, I'll be glad to lead you to do so now. But just say these words after me: Lord Jesus, I believe that you came to this world to die for my sins. I also believe that you died for my sins, and I believe that you, on the third day, on the third day, you arose for my justification. Today I accept this gift of eternal life. Amen. If you have said that, the biggest congratulations to you. Whether you see it or not, or feel it or not, there's joy in heaven right now, and you are the reason for that joy. Angels are rejoicing, and I want to help you grow. There's a number on the screen, 090-3095-9735. 090-3095-9735. Um, reach out to that number on the screen, all right? And, um, just reach out that you have just given your life to Christ, and I'm going to follow you up. So beginning from tomorrow, every blessed day, I'll be praying over the prayer requests sent. So send in your prayer requests. When I see critical ones, I call, all right? But many people don't pick my call, all right? So when I reach out and then send your prayer request, and I'm going to follow you up. But from tomorrow, I'm going to be praying also for prayer requests every blessed day and decreeing over those requests. Somebody vowed— there's somebody— somebody vowed that a contract that should come your way that is going to make sure that the contract does not come your way. God said to tell you, go and eat and go and sleep. He will take it off from there. That's the word of the Lord. He said, I will take it off from there. Amen. All right, God bless you. Today is Monday, and, um, many of you are resuming your jobs and your work today. Don't worry, it's not going to be a stressful year. I stretch my hands towards all of you, and I decree and declare blessings of the Lord will follow you every part of this in the name of Jesus. I declare that it is well with you and your household. You have the wisdom to navigate this season. You are not confused, neither are you backward. In the name of Jesus, I call you blessed from the very depth of my heart. Things will work for you this year. You will not go down. You will not know— you will not know retrogression. You will not take a step forward and 10 steps backward. You go forward only. In the name of Jesus. Again, I speak this word and I decree divine protection upon you. You will not be in the wrong place at the right time, and in the name of Jesus, you will not be— your soul is escaped and the snare is broken throughout this year. You are covered with the fire and the blood of Jesus. The jealousy of God will guide and protect you.

Your organs will not fail.

To anyone who is sick, I pronounce be healed. Things will work in the name of Jesus. Every favor that is open to you but that has been contested for by princes of the air, I shoot them out of the way in the name of Jesus. And I decree that you have what is yours in the name of Jesus. It is well with you in the morning, it is well with you in the noon, it is well with you at night, in Jesus' mighty name. Amen. God bless you so much. Tomorrow, make sure you invite somebody All right, tomorrow make sure you invite somebody. I want us to pass 5,000 tomorrow, all right? And we will do it together. Make sure you bring somebody. I mean, there are people you've been wanting to talk to, you know, they are— what is here, invite them, say join me, you will not regret it, all right? So tomorrow we go really prophetic, begin to interpret the seasons, all right? And then we prepare ourselves for what is coming. This year is me and you and God. There's nowhere else to turn to, and we are going to make sure we push it through. All right, I want you to know that those of us praying together every morning, um, it's a very deep thing in my heart. And, um, and that's why when I see messages or mails from those I'm praying together every morning with, I take it as a priority. There is no greater family than those who are your prayer partners. That's the highest of the height. All right, and here it is, family. Know that I can't do everything, but I will do everything I can to make sure that you are attended to. Amen. God bless you so much, and I can't wait to see you. If you have issues with fasting, don't worry, we'll walk you through it. It's going to be easy. Okay, no, I'm not saying it's going to be easy like that, like that. You walk through it, you'll be disciplined. So amen. See you guys tomorrow, same time, 6 AM to 7 AM. I love you so much. Have an amazing day ahead. 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 what's 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 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 God bless you so much.

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