SEPTEMBER TO REMEMBER || DAY 6 || 6TH SEPTEMBER 2024

Femi Lazarus preaches on Isaiah 55, contrasting head-knowledge of God with true relational knowledge. He teaches spiritual warfare through casting down imaginations with spoken word, introduces "mad prayers" as intense intercession that breaks strongholds, and prophesies revival and a wave of intercessors rising across the nation.
Chapters
Let's lift our hands to heaven in the next couple of minutes and just bless the name of the Lord this morning. Let's thank him, let's thank him, let's give him all the praise for, um, the access he's given to us to his mysteries. Mark 4:11 says, unto you it is given to know the of the kingdom of God. He said, but to those who are outside, these things are done and said but in parables, so that in seeing they will see and not perceive, in hearing they will hear and not understand. Yes, thank you. Let's bless his holy name. Let's bless his holy name. We bless you, Lord, you are holy. And forever you're God. We bless you, Lord. You are all— you are holy and forever. Hallelujah, you are God. Hallelujah, hallelujah. Hallelujah, you are God. Hallelujah. We bless your holy name. Thank you, Lord. Blessed be your holy name. In Jesus' mighty name we worship. All right, please sit for a while. God bless you. I'd like the media to please upload my time so I can work with it. Um, one of the very important protocols in ministry is keeping to time. Amen. Um, this morning I'm still going to start from the text I started with yesterday. And like I said, I'm going to speak with the assumption that I'm speaking to ministers, but that's one of my core callings. The book of Isaiah chapter number 55. Isaiah chapter number 55. We're going to start the reading now from verse 6. Isaiah chapter number 55 from verse 6. And, um, the Bible begins with a statement that, um, may want to confound the thought of particularly new creation realities believers. Verse 6 says says, seek ye the Lord while he may be found, and call ye upon him while he's near. So the, the first thing you want to think of is that where the Bible says seek the Lord while he may be found and call him while he is near. So are there times that you will seek but he can't be found? And are there times that God is not near? If the Bible says seek him while he may be found. Huh? It is because there are seasons, or there are time, or there are conditions you get yourself to that certain things becomes impossible. Let me leave it there. You know, the Bible said about Samson that he got up like he used to, and he knew not that the Lord has what? Departed from him. Verse 7 now says, let the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts, and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him, and to our God for he will abundantly— what? Pardon. Then he went on to verse 8 to say, to say, for my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thought. It is possible to know about God and not know God. There are two different things. Are you here? Are you— can you hear me? Can you hear me over there? I said it's possible to know about God and not know God. Is it possible to know the word of God and not know the God of the word? There are two different things. One may give you head knowledge, but the other one makes you strong in spirit. The Bible even went on to say in the book of Daniel that it is they that do know their God that will be what? Strong. And then they will do what? Exploit. Now, um, let me make a major correction. As much as a result is not always the sign of God's validation on a man, but when God validates a man, he still gives him results. Are you here? We must not shut down that idea because we want to win an argument. God gives people exploits, and you will do exploits. I didn't hear amen to that. I'm saying again, you will do exploits. All right, I'm still finding— I'm trying to find where you are. So I can pick you from there. But I want to show you something very important. So when the Bible says in verse 8, for my thoughts are not your thoughts and my ways— so it means that the thought of God and his ways, they are to be sought out. You cannot afford to live your life with head knowledge. There is one before whom the future is already a past. So you want to make sure that you listen to everything that one has to say about the future. Let me tell you a story. In the year 2010, some 5 girls came to see me, and, um, their leader, who happened to be my mentee as I then said, that I brought my friends because we know you hear God. And they said, um, we just want to pray for us. Um, they wrote names of people and say, which of this is our husband? This one had 6 names, that one had 4, this one had 5, that one had 7. So I said, okay. I said, do you believe I hear God? He said, yes. I said, God said you should squeeze those papers. And then you say, we're squeezing. Then God said to tell you to get out of my room and then drop those papers in the dustbin and go to your houses since you want to hear what God is saying. So they did. Then I repented and called one of them, say, call your friends and come in. So they gathered them and I went And I said, for you as a girl to have 6 siblings, I'm not sure you know God. You are managing 6 brothers together. Are you a project manager? There are church sisters that can manage 7 of you together in the same church and nobody will know, and they can have loud tongues. And some brothers are better professionals too. That the fellow is in church doesn't mean he's in touch with God. Sons of God gathered in Job 1, the devil came among them too. You can marry from church and still marry the devil. Apologies, but I'm not sorry. So I led all of them to Christ. And then while I was praying for them, the Lord told me that, hey, you, you've gone to a prophet, say yes. So all of you have gone to pray before you came to me, say yes. You, the name they gave you is so-and-so name, say yes. Then they were afraid. The Lord said to tell you that that person they gave to you is not your husband. You, the name they give you, so-and-so name, say yes. God said that person is not your husband. One of the names they gave one of the sisters ran mad about 6 months after then, and he's still mad till today. How will God say a madman is your husband? The one who knows the future himself must be consulted. You can't make decisions of destiny with permutation and combination. You have to consult him. Where it dwells is not in the framework of time. See, you, you— the problem with humans is that we overrate ourselves. How many of you sometimes have stumbled on movies or clips that they shot before you were born? Let me see one. Maybe documentary of seasons, that event that happened before you were born. Let me see one. Did you notice that the world was moving on before you were born? And that's the same way the world will move on when you die. You may not be as special as you think, so we humble ourselves to maximize our days. Are you here? Let me give you a bit of illustration of the way God operates. And the reason why, if you understand this, you must live every day seeking him. Recently I was on a flight and, um, the pilot made an announcement with a shaky voice. That they just detected a fault on that plane. And while the pilot was addressing us, the assistant was lamenting. We could hear his voice and he was speaking his native language and it was like he was about to cry. So I knew that we're in for something. And he said, you have to turn back because the plane can't make it to where we are going. And, um, he's trusting God that with every skill he has, he will be able to maneuver to land the plane, because the problem now is even with landing. He can't land. Then I saw people— so that's the time you know that even the one who said there's no God, his first statement is, oh God, help us. And hefty men were shaking. I sat down there reading a paper, but in all honesty, my heart was beating twice the speed. But I was checking my spirit. In the past couple of days, was there any warning I ignored? Was there any fear that settled in my heart? Was there anything God said about Femi Lazarus that I did not obey? I searched and I couldn't find. I was at rest because I understand the way the principles work, that if there was fear that settled without being addressed, then the devil has gone in to edit a script. Ah, da ba ekpe now. Let me give you a bit of illustration. Man of God, please come help me. What's your name, sir? Huh? Joshua. Look at this. Mr. Joshua here is a movie director or producer. Before you produce a movie out what the will of God is, sicknesses may come, but you can full old age, and I fulfill all that. And now guess, guess what? Are you here? I don't know how to— because this is the point where you have to speak for yourself, you see. Your silence is permission for the devil to edit your script. It is not only important that what is written is written, the one for whom it is written must insist on what is written. Because if you don't know how to insist, the devil will manipulate the course of your life and you will begin to fulfill what is not yours. What I'm saying is, it is not enough that God knows the thought he thinks towards you. It can be aborted. And that's why we speak the words of faith. When we speak the words of faith, we are saying it so that we too can hear, and we are saying so that the devil can hear and know that we know what we are saying. That according to the script written about me, I didn't die young. I don't know about you. I said I don't know about you, huh? Will you say it or you want to be quiet? According to my script, I didn't die young. According to my script, I didn't die by sickness. According to my script, I fulfilled all that God intends for me. Are you here? That's my script. It is not enough that I found it. I You know, I told you yesterday that there are times that a man is in the afternoon and a condition can introduce him to the night. But you must speak like Joshua, that the sun will not set over Ajaleon, that the moon will not hasten to go down till I have finished. David said, I will not be afraid of the arrows that fly by day, nor for the pestilence that walketh in night. When the devil begins to bring thoughts, you know, God said, I know the thought I have. The devil also have thoughts. Oh, you don't know? I'll show you. When he begins to bring you thoughts, don't fight his thoughts with your thoughts. The thought of God towards you must already become your words. You fight thoughts with words. When it brings the thought that you are where you are dying, you speak. Hey, let's start reading from verse 2. I want to show you something. You are going to get angry in a way you have not this morning. Are you ready for that? Huh? I said, are you ready for that? Now project that scripture, we need to see it. 2 Corinthians 10, and we're going to start from verse 2. Says, for though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh. Says, for the weapon of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds, casting down what? Casting down what? Casting down what? Do you know what imaginations are? When you— now let me give you an instance. Look, what's your name? All right, imagine that I this morning invite him to my house. And I asked our chef to make for him good— give me a name of a food now. Maybe seafood fried rice with the biggest prawns and snails you can find in town. Marinate them with pepper. Serve him with fresh fruit. Juice, okay, and get at least 7 different options on the table for him. The moment I begin to describe that, I am triggering his imagination, and the imagination will trigger some hormonal responses. Are you here? That if a man was not hungry and begins to imagine food, hunger can be triggered. I'm saying that when there are imaginations against your life, it can— that's when you have fear in certain directions. You are not seeing anything, but it is because there are signals of what the devil is speaking. And if you leave those fears unchecked, it can happen. Oh, you don't— it can happen. And that's when you begin to ask, how can a man be this anointed and cut off like that? They didn't check imaginations. I don't know if you have ever just imagined that maybe something— you're in the bus, just imagine that maybe this bus just somehow— or bike. Let me see your answer. You think those thoughts are your thoughts? You are not that evil. They are the imaginations from the— you cast them down! How do you cast them down? With words. You are going out, the devil say you won't return. The redeemed of the Lord shall doubtlessly return. Never— see, in this kingdom, any word you leave unchecked becomes your reality. I want to give you the next 1 minute. Like I said, I'm trying to find your bearing. Are there imaginations you've seen in the past few days that you have left unchecked? I want to check you out. Get up on your feet in the next 1 minute. Maybe a thought that just came innocently, that do you know people don't arise in your lineage, and you left it there. You've not answered the question. Maybe a thought that came, I said, maybe your time is wrapping up. Maybe you— God's design for you may not be to live long. Maybe you are to be impactful, then just die like that because you're a mighty man. What do you do to the imagination? Shut them down. I give you the next 1 minute now. Mention them by the name and shut them down. Go ahead now. Now, amen, amen, amen. Now sit down. I think The moment he reached his retirement age and was retired, he developed a sickness. They couldn't treat him, they couldn't operate on him. Every attempt to operate on the vitals were negative and they couldn't go on with the operation. For another 1 year plus, he was dying. So one day God told me, I said, "If you stay quiet, this man will die." So I called them that I was coming to his house. So I went to the house. And I had not told them the reason why I came, and I was in their night devotion. And that night devotion, if I was the devil, I would like the family. Upon the mountain Zion, upon the mountain Zion, upon the mountain Zion, we are here to worship Good morning. I was looking in horror. Somebody's dying. So they finished the devotion, and usually after that devotion they give you hot tea. Something is not I begged, I said, please, let's come back. I'm sorry. I said, I love the way we pray, but I want you to give me the next 15 minutes, and we need to introduce a bit of madness to our Christianity now. Then he said, okay, because they are doing well. You know, people, when you are doing well, why should you pray? So I spoke to them for 5 minutes, then led them to pray for 10 minutes. There are things you can't shake up until you are angry. There are— are you with me? There are battles that are— that they can't be compatible even with coming to church until the day you get mad. We raised an altar of prayer and ran mad for 10 minutes. As we finished praying, a strange bat flew into that place, hit the wall, and died. They called the man that same night, that your father's younger sister died. The following morning, every sickness disappeared. Are you following what I'm saying here? So when I tell you to pray and cast down imagination, I'm saying employ a bit of madness, just a spice. Get up again on your feet and pray. I shut down imaginations. I shut down the onslaught of the devil. I shut them down against my life and destiny. What thou mountain before Zebu Babalawo, be shut down! I will pray! I will pray! I will pray! I will pray! Hey hey hey! I will pray! I will pray! I will pray! Shaka paka rababa! I will pray! Ahh! Pull down Satan's kingdom! But at higher temperature, they denature. You know, I shared with you yesterday exercises in prayers, but I didn't know it didn't end there. I remember we began to pray Mad prayers. 5 hours, 90 days. 8 hours, 90 days. Stretch, stretch. We're praying and I saw a dwarf-like spirit run out and the spirit spoke in Yoruba, moti lo. That is, I've left you. You know, this is the way you become mad. The devil looks at you and say, okay, this one's madness is too much. Hey, hey, all of you there, now, and get out. And I asked the Lord, what's, what's that spirit I saw leaving now? He said, and the Lord said, that's the spirit of lack. I've been doing ministry for a while, but I noticed that the church may increase, I don't. But at certain level of heat, the spirit that was attached released itself and ran. Joshua was the high priest, but he was still clothed with filthy garment, and Satan was at his right hand to resist him. Nothing change until you get mad. Are you here? Are you here? Are you angry? And if there's anything about Nigerians Meaning that even if it is today, you become restless, you break it. Why suspend for tomorrow what can happen today? Can I give you another 1 minute? Are you here? Are you here? Are you angry? Will you pray? I said, are you angry? No, you should be angry. Are you angry? How angry are you? For many of us seated, it is not for lack of hard work, but there's a cloud. I showed you that when Jacob left Peniel, the sun rose over and it began to shine. It will be the same activity but different result. What you need is not change of job, it is to intensify the fire. There's a point you pray to, certain things can't cope again. Are you here? You get to a new territory, you want to start church. You think church grows by billboard? It doesn't work. You break and dislodge the principalities. See, you can put billboard on the road and nobody's seeing who is there. It is when your light is shining that they see you. No one— people just pass. The billboard now looks like obituary. But you break through in the spirit and an incense is raised. Look at what— ay, ka fe le ma ha igade kata. Look at what the Bible said about Jesus. Luke chapter number 4. Luke 4. If you are there, say amen. Luke chapter number 4, let's go to verse 14. And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee, and there went out a of him roundabout. This was not Instagram or Facebook. People just became aware because he burned incense where incense should be burnt. I'm seeing people rise in new level of stature. Huh? I'm seeing people rise in new level of stature. Please sit down. All eyes closed. There's a worshiper, there's a worship minister in this meeting. There's a worship minister in this meeting that the Lord wants to introduce you. I hear the protocol of sound, the protocol. There are sounds that the world cannot resist. There are these These things are given. They are given. They are sacred entrustment. Anyone here with any form of calling, whether worship, whether writing, whether apostolic, whether prophetic, whether teaching, whether pastoral, whether evangelistic, lift your hands where you sit and all eyes Eyes closed. Father, I ask that there is an incense, and I, I don't know the kind of hunger you came with, and I told you that there are times you must not allow pass, that those for whom you have brought this fragrance now in any form of ministry or activity or calling that is upon their life, from the crown of their head even as I speak to the sole of their feet Let an incense break out of this place. Let it run across this entire place. Let your power search the basement out of darkness. Let it locate individuals for whom you have brought the fragrance. Let fire arise in this place. Let the cloak of power and the mantle of the Lord Search them through. Prophetic worshippers, prophetic writers, seers, minstrels, be empowered. Apostolic voices, let there be a surge of the rod of authority. The fire is going to burn all over, all over, all over. And there are some of you here who have callings, but you have not The fullness— I ask that the fountains of the deep be exposed at this moment. Let the fountains of the deep be exposed at this moment. Lift up your heads, O ye gates, and be lifted up, ye everlasting doors, that the King of Glory will come in. Let the fountains of the deep break open. Let callings find the relative mantle to bring it to its utmost place of functioning. I am saying there are people here that not too long from the point of this meeting, a fragrance, an incense will rise from your youth and the world will trace it down to Sokoto. Femi Lazarus, search them out by a mark of fire that won't stop burning. The spirit of prayer and supplication, intercessors, intercessors, midwives of the move of the Spirit, break open here, break open, find expression. Find expression, find expression, find expression, find expression. Deborah's essence rise from this place that your spiritual life will no longer be dormant. You come to the place of strength, you have come to the place of waters. There's an incense, right? A new class of men will follow it. There's an army that the Lord is raising in this city, men who are fierce in the place of prayer. Let every altar whose fire has gone cold be rekindled back to its place. Let men rise, let men rise, let men rise, let men rise, let men rise. Thank you, Lord. Now sit down for a while. Sit down for a while. All eyes closed. I want to pray for 3 categories of people. When God is opening a territory up, first He places grace for prayer on men. It is in the place of intercession that we dislodge strongholds. Whether male or female, there are midwives of the move of God here, people who are saddled with the responsibility of intercession. All eyes closed. Father, at the count of 3, identify them and place the fire on their heads. Identify them, identify them, identify them, identify them. Let a mantle for prayer— 1, 2, 3— touch them from the crown of your head to the sole of your feet. The mantle for it rests There's a young man in this meeting, and I'm seeing a prayer movement, a prayer movement, a prayer movement, a prayer movement, a prayer movement. It will break open. Help him. The cloak for it, the cloak for it. I'm seeing prayer camps. People can't stop praying. I'm seeing prayer camps. People can't stop praying. I'm seeing prayer camps. I'm seeing prayer camps. I'm seeing young people troop to pray. I'm seeing prayer camps. That Sokoto will be called the land of prayer. Kafula hai tapadeke. Let every sleeping giant be revived and quickened to their place. We quicken them to their offices. I will pray, I will pray, I will pray, I will pray. I will pray! Sokoto prayer! Eh eh eh— we will pray, we will pray, we will pray. I will pray! Eh eh eh— I will pray! I will pray! I will pray! I will pray! I will pray! I will pray! I will pray! I will praise— yeah, I will break it... I will breathe! I will pray, I will pray, I will pray. Eagles fly, eating you. You were meant to die. Lion roar, eagles fly, eating you. You were meant to fly. Lion roar, eagles fly. It's in you, you were meant to fly. Shake off the dust that has scattered on you, step out of of shame you have wrapped yourself in. There is hope for a tree that has come down. The scent of water, it shall spring back to life. You, you are a soldier in the army of God, and the host awaits your response to the clarion call. Lion roar, eagles fly, it's in you. You were meant to fly. Lions roar, eagles fly. Oh, it's in you. You were meant to fly. Lions roar. Eagles fly, it's in you. You were meant to fly. Eagles fly, it's in you. You were meant to fly. Lion roar! Lion roar! Eagles fly! Oh, eagles fly! It's in you, Femi Lazarus. You were meant to fly. Oh, lion roar! Eagles fly, it's in you. You were meant to fly. Let every sleeping giant be revived. Lion roar, be revived. Femi Lazarus, fly, it's in you. You are meant to fly. Shake off the dust that has gathered on you for so long. Step out of the darkness of shame you have wrapped yourself. There is hope for a tree that is cut down, because at the scent of water, it shall spring back to life again. Egu, you are a soldier in the army of God, and the host await your response to the clarion call. Can you feel the shaking, the shaking in your belly as your Father calls out to you now? Can you feel the breaking of the dam as the river from your belly flow? Those that wait upon the Lord shall renew their stretch. They will mount up with wings like eagles. Wings up. Oh, lion roar. No more coldness. Eagles fly. He see you, you are meant to fly. Ah, lion roar. Eagles fly. Oh, you see, you, you are meant to fly. This is holy ground. Any land, this is holy ground. My friend, open your eyes, open your ears till you understand that the Lord is here. Open your eyes, open your ears Till you understand that the Lord is easy. This is Holy Ground. Amen. This is Holy Ground, my friend. Open Open your eyes, open your ears till you understand that the Lord is here. Open your eyes, open your ears till you understand that the Lord All over the world, your spirit is moving. All over the world, as the prophet said it should be. All over the world. There's a mighty revelation of the glory of the Lord as the waters covers the sea. How can you walk when you don't know the ways of the wind? Ah, how can you run When you don't know the ways of the Spirit, how can you fly? When you don't know the ways of the Spirit, the power at work in you is bringing everything in obedience to Christ. It's changing everything in obedience Sit down everywhere. Please, for a minute, all eyes closed. I heard concerning someone the Lord saying, let's go back to where we stopped. And I don't know who that person is, but Father, by a mark of fire for me now, identify that person that where you left off, the altar might look cold, but there's still a spark. And let the fire, the fragrance of that particular anointing, search this person out at the count of 3. 1, 2, 3, touch this person. And please, ushers, bring that person out for me? Father, search— help them! Help them! I'm seeing two more there. Two more, two more, two more, two more, two more, two more, two more, two more. Help them! Help them! Help them! The heavens are opened this season. There's a young man in this meeting that for the past couple of days there's been a discontentment in your spirit. The only sound has been, there's more, there's more, there's more. And that was God preparing you for this hour. Father, search that person out by a mark of fire now. Let that fire intensify on his head. And that which you have ordained for this hour find expression. Search that person. I'll count 1 to 3. 1, 2, 3. Search him out now. There's been worries in your heart, consciousness of more, of more, of more, of more. Help these guys, help them. You have come to the season for more, more. Please pay attention, even as I wrap up, there's still going to be a lot of movement of the spirit here. Remember not the former things, neither consider the things of old. I will do a new thing, says the Lord. Now it shall spring forth, shall you not even know it? I'll make ways in the wilderness and bring water out of desert. Says the Lord. I will cause my rain to fall upon your dry land, says the Lord. I will in this season make you a city that whose gate is open, that there will be continuous influx, says the Lord. Your gate will no longer be shut. It will not be short. It will not be short. It will not be short. It will not be short. It will not be short. It will not be short. The Lord is saying, I'm remembering covenant here. And he said, I don't know who this person is, but the Lord said, for the sake of the covenant that is deeper than your mistake, I have not changed my mind about you. I don't know who you are. The Lord is saying, I have not changed my mind about— and he said to announce that something the Philistines might have cut off your hair, but it can grow back. He said, stay with me, walk with me, and learn the unforced rhythm of grace, says the Lord. He said, I bring back the season that you thought is gone forever. I will restore the years that the locusts and the canker worms have eaten, says the Lord. He said, I'm bringing back lost times. The Lord said, you believe you have lost seasons, but I am the one who made time. I will drink it for you, says the Lord. What ought to take 10 years will happen in months. Now hear the word of the Lord. When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, they were like them that dream. He said there was a mouth filled with singing. I heard that word. Restoration. I hear that word restoration. You take back what is yours. You take back what is yours. You take back what is yours. There are people here that the devil seemed to hijack your journey at some point and you have wasted time. It looked like most part of your life has been spent in distraction, but I hear the Lord say you can catch up. I hear the Lord say, let me hold you by the hand and I will teach you how to run the race of faith. Ah, I, I see several others. And I heard the voice, put fire back in them. Put fire back. Individuals who have lost their flame and you have become a shadow of your past, don't hide a hand that is bleeding. If you belong to this category, put your two hands on your head because I hear the Lord say put fire back upon those altars. One time Jacob was wandering through the night and he found a stone, and what he didn't know was that the stone was a stone of memorial. His fathers had found God there. And as he pillowed the stone on his head, he saw heavens open and a ladder let down with angels ascending and descending. And he said, the Lord was here and I knew it not. Those altars, fire is resuming its work on them. The one who stopped praying is getting back to the place of prayer. The one that God began to speak to about a calling and then discouragement took you out The fire is back. The fire is back. Let the finger of God signal this by a new weight upon your spirit. From this moment, you will know what it means to carry fresh fire. It is done. Now sit down for a minute as I wrap up. Just leave those in front. It's an Holy Ghost meeting, and tonight is going to be brutal. It's going to be brutal. It's going to be brutal. Come with the sick. Don't be afraid. On behalf of God, come with the sick. Now look up, everyone. As we approach the coming of Jesus Um, Nakale, come. Let the hand of God rest upon your head, that that which has been hindered in its flow will now begin to flow unhindered. Added to the grace you carry, wisdom is now supplied. Let the hand of God rest. It is done. Isaiah chapter number 60, and that's where I'm going to wrap up. From verse 1 says, arise, shine, for your light is come. And says for the glory of God is risen upon you. Then verse 2 says, for behold, darkness will cover the earth and gross darkness the people. Say, but the light of the Lord shall arise upon you. See, we're in the season that the earth is experiencing the level of darkness the earth has not seen before. And unfortunately, some of this darkness can even be perpetrated from the pulpit. The construct of the earth is in such a way that you can't be deep with God, but you must fight for spiritual awakening. Are you here? It is not handed over to you. Your spiritual life will not just boost. You pursue it. You see, I showed you Genesis 32 yesterday, but you will discover that before Jacob began to fight with the angel, the Bible said, and Jacob was left alone since the time he lied till that moment. That was the first time the Bible was recording that he was alone. You see, after this conference is over, many of you need a lone moment for a retreat. It. Are you here? Because it is the year that Uzziah died that Isaiah saw the Lord. There are, there are, there are idols you have raised that will die when you come alone, and that's when your eyes of understanding becomes enlightened. That's when sleeping giants will begin to ask themselves, why sit we here till we die? Now hear the word of the Lord. The men that the Lord will use for this territory will not have to come from outside. They will rise from within this territory. Saviors will rise from here. Mark that word. God is going to raise voices that can be exported to the nations of the earth. You will begin to hear strange sounds. There's going to be the raising of the shofar, and it's going to be blown across, and you will hear the voice of the unassuming, and people who don't look like it will emerge. Saviors will rise from Zion. Now hear this: trim your lamps. Because the journey is about to start. And let me give an uncomfortable word: as the revival arise, so will the oppositions rise. You were saying amen? Uh, in the next coming days, there's going to be stronger attempts to stiffen the move of God here. Them. There's going to be strange uprising to stiffen what God has started. But in those days, don't despair, says the Lord. My move has always been great in the midst of tribulations. Hold fast that which you have received and don't leave it because of this. Now listen to what I'm saying. Mark my words. It is going to be so strong, many will be compelled to say, we are relocating. But be still and know that I am the Lord. Just after that cloud, then the attention of the nation will come here. The cloud will be the affairs of this land will be looked into. Then a light will break forth. The number of days, I can't tell. The number of weeks, I can't tell. The number of months, I can't tell. But it will be brief, but the light will shine for long. Don't be afraid. The Lord said, I will hold your hands even as you walk through the fire. Joshuas, Gideons, Calebs, they will rise. It's an uncomfortable word. The Lord said, I'm raising saviors amongst you. Saviors. So the move of God will be so strong in Sokoto that it will be exported all across the place. Mark these words. It will happen and nothing will We stop it. Thank you, Lord.
