In this brief sermon excerpt, Femi Lazarus emphasizes that believers are called to carry the responsibility of their nation and the kingdom of God in their hearts, rather than seeking personal power or material gain. He teaches that when one truly represents the kingdom—prioritizing God's interests above personal needs—God provides for basic necessities like food, and wealth follows those who are faithful stewards of His kingdom. Lazarus stresses that divine power, not personal effort, is the source of wealth and that ministry can be lived out through faithful representation rather than formal preaching. The core message is that seeking God's kingdom and righteousness first results in divine provision and the ability to use wealth for kingdom purposes.

Chapters

God cannot be grooming you for power and what you are thinking about— you ought to be carrying the responsibility of your nation in your heart and your kingdom that you represent in your heart. What you're thinking about is the kind of food. Once you represent the kingdom well, food will never be a problem for you again in life. I can't. You see, I asked God to bless me so I could give. Do you understand what I'm saying?
Yes, sir.
If you seek first the kingdom and his righteousness, there's nothing people are running after that will not pursue you. And you don't have to do ministry in terms of preaching for it to pursue you. So two things I want to bring out from there. Number one, God wants you to have his interest above your needs. The interest of the church, the interest of his kingdom. You don't know that wealth is commanded in the direction of people who know what to do with it. You shall remember the Lord thy God. It is he that gives you power to get wealth. You will get to places where free voice flowing like water and it doesn't flow in your direction because your life is for yourself.
