SPECIAL APOSTOLIC MEETING || HOUSTON TX || 10TH APRIL 2025
The video records a live Apostolic gathering in Houston on April 10, 2025, organized by the PPC/ISM community and led primarily by Apostle Femi Lazarus, with contributions from Dr. Onku Okpe, worship leaders, and numerous participants. The service opens with enthusiastic greetings, chat‑room check‑ins, and a high‑energy corporate worship segment that repeatedly praises God’s holiness. The core teaching focuses on the urgency of a "Kairos" moment – a divinely appointed time for receiving God’s outpouring – and uses the 2 Kings 4 vessel‑borrowing illustration to explain that spiritual capacity is limited by the size of one’s "vessels". Listeners are urged to enlarge their capacity, honor the word, be responsive, and stay sensitive. Biblical passages (John 1, Matthew 5:14, Genesis 1‑2, Luke 19, Hebrews 4, Isaiah 60) are quoted to frame the message about expectation, identity as light, and the danger of self‑idolatry. The teaching weaves a narrative of generational sin, prototype humanity, and the need for believers to be spiritually discerning, active in prayer (including tongues), and to avoid complacency. Throughout, there are repeated calls for participants to raise their hands, shout, pray, and declare readiness, culminating in collective prayers for overflow, empowerment, and the fulfillment of God’s promises. Interwoven are personal testimonies from attendees who describe how Apostle Lazarus’ teachings transformed their prayer lives, fasting discipline, and sense of identity. The meeting also includes logistical coordination for an evening prayer session (volunteer call‑outs, schedule reminders) and a ceremonial honoring of Apostle Lazarus and other ministry leaders. Metaphors of spiritual warfare (weaponizing children, turning plows into spears) and the emphasis on sacrifice over material wealth appear repeatedly, urging believers to prioritize divine calling above personal ambition. The gathering ends with a unified prayer for power, protection, and the activation of each participant’s mantle, reinforcing the theme that the life believers carry is not their own but a divine light meant to illuminate the world.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Is someone excited to be here this morning? If you're excited to be here this morning, can you just lift up your hands and begin to worship God? Oh, I don't know how they worship in Houston here, but you have to do it more. You have to do it more intentional. Can you just lift your hands up and begin to worship the name of the Lord? Lift up voice up. Let God hear that you are actually talking to him. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Let it flow from within. Let it flow from within. Let it flow from within. Bless his holy name. Worship his holy name. Yes, you can do better. You can do better. You can do better. This is the day. You can do better. Worship his holy name. For in Jesus' mighty name we are still worshiping. Right, today is the day, and I want you just to bring into the realization that I don't know if you are waiting for another day, but I'm telling you, today is the day. Can you just look at, look at your neighbor and say, today is the day. There is always a day. Today is the day. Say it with more confidence. Today is the day. If you are happy to be in the house this morning, can you just worship the Lord? Jump on your feet. Worship him, celebrate him, celebrate him, celebrate him, celebrate him, celebrate him, celebrate him, worship him, worship him, worship him. Say wait, I am not comfortable here with the way we are still worshiping God. I was speaking the book of Psalm Chapter 1, verse 24. He said, this is the day which God himself has made. You know, when God made the day, that means it doesn't really matter how you are coming, because the fact is that you are coming to come and meet a God that has the possibility of changing a man's story. So if God himself called today his day, then do what is required. I was speaking about Philippians, he said, He said, I tell you again, rejoice again. Can you just rejoice in the house? Let it flow from within. Let it flow. Yes. Oh Lord, we worship you. Lord, we worship you. Lord, we worship you. Lord, we worship you. Lord, we worship you. If any song is coming from your spirit, can you just begin to sing it? Worship God intentionally about it. Yes, Manté Pronomo. This is a very crucial season. And this morning prayer, we know it is just like a one-on-one meet with Apostle, like the PPC family, the ISM family. So it is more like an indoor gathering. And if— I don't know if you're— if you are aware that next week is sons, daughters, partners, and mentees meeting. So what is happening in Houston at the moment, it's like we are trying to break the ground open. Oh, it's like we're trying to break the ground open. And if you don't know, the title of the meeting is 'Deal from What? From Above.' You will not know how excited I am this morning because we are starting Sons and Daughters meeting here in Houston. And I want you, wherever you are— and I said, when God said today is the day, God is intentional about it. Can you just lift up your voice to God and say, God, yet I'm here this morning. God, I want to be— I want to go back home today soaked in your presence. I want to be soaked in your power. I want to be soaked in your glory. Can I begin to pray? Father, in the name of Jesus. So God has sent forth his word to us in this season. He said he's sending what? Dew from what? From above, right? So anytime we say something that has to do with water in scripture, has to correlate with either people are thirsty or maybe the ground is too dry and God have to do so what? Just to pour, just to pour the rain. The reality now, the reality this morning is that we are going to journey into God. And I'm just here to lead us to pray. We will journey in prayer to the point that we know that even with the kind of rain that is coming, no matter how dry the land is— Kalika binamanda. I don't know the definition you are giving to your own land. I don't have anything to do. There's no limitation. We will cry again with a very loud voice. The only thing you can do this morning that can rob you of God's work I want to do do is that if you deny yourself the ability to be able to get what God wants to do. Hallelujah! So once again, I love the energy in the house, but can we still cry again and say, God, I am here this morning. Let your river, let your rain fall, let your rain fall in such a way that the ground will be open and every seed in me, they will come out, they will grow. When water comes, life begins. Life start. Yes! Let water begin to flow. Every dry land, be open, be open, be open, be open, be open, be open. Yes, yes, yes, yes. For in Jesus' mighty name we are still praying. Can we quickly open our Bible Go to the book of 2 Kings from verse 4 to— from verse 4, chapter 4 rather. 2 Kings chapter 4, then 3 to 6.
Media.
Okay, if media is not here, all right. Hey, let it flow, let it flow. Hey, let it flow, let it flow. 2 Kings 4:3-6.
Oh, let it flow.
In one accord, can we sing that song?
Sing that song.
It's already— it's already causing something already in the house already. Can we lift our voice together in one accord? Hey. Let it flow! Let it flow! Alaba la da ba ya—
let it flow! Let it flow!
Let it flow! Let it go!
Let it flow! Let it go! Oh, let One more time.
Let it flow, let it flow, let it flow, let it flow.
Oh, let it flow right here, right now.
2 Kings chapter 4, verse 3. He said, then he said, go borrow vessels from everywhere. You know, when we are talking about rain, you can only collect depending on the kind of vessel you have. So if you are, if you are here this morning with just ordinary a cup, it's not that it is not enough in God, or God doesn't have abundance. It is that your own capacity is too small. And the consequence of you coming with little, little vessels is because because that vessel can only take you for a while. Because the answer has to do with you must understand how much God wants you to take, because our journey is different. So you can take, bring a cup, and I'm not saying bringing a cup is a bad idea, but the consequence will be that by the time that cup, by the time the oil in the cup or the river, the water in the cup is out, then you have to go back again and go and get. And waiting like They are not just set just for you to be a participant. They are in the center will of God for what God wants to do. So if it is you, if I'm you, what I will do this morning is that I will get more capacity. He said go. It is not a crime to go and borrow. There are people out there, the capacity, they love God but they don't even know how to position themselves. So this morning again, we will pray and enlarge our capacity. Because what God is starting here is not what is going to end here. It's what's going to go from generation to generation. And we lift our voice again and cry to God and say, God, enlarge my coast. I'm enlarging my coast. Stretch me, Lord. Stretch me, Lord. Let there be more capacity for me to receive. Wait, then he said, and when you have come in, you shall shut what? The door behind you. There should not be distraction because what God wants to do today, take it personal. It is an invitation to take more from God. And one, just for one last time, at the top of your voice, can you ask God and say, God, fill me until I am overflowing. Overflow. So now the capacity for you to receive is not dependent on available space in your life. Can you just lift up your voice and praise God and say, God, fill me until I'm overflow. Shatta ka palaté ko bena manta. Fill me, oh God, until I'm overflow.
We are still praying. We are still praying. Lift up your voice where you stand this morning. Lift up your voice to God. And communicate the hunger in your spirit that the Almighty God will lift his face to shine upon you this day, so that leaving this meeting, the same man that entered through the door will not be the same man that will leave. In the name of Jesus, I'd like you to pray that prayer very well. Show it that you really mean business this morning. Oh Father, we give you praise. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Father. In Jesus' mighty name we have prayed. I can't hear you. In Jesus' mighty name we have prayed. How many of us are excited to be here this morning? No, hold on. I know the energy is still coming up. When you ask how many of you are excited You don't show excitement by saying, "I'm excited." Excitement is proven with actions. Are you seeing that? How many of you truly are excited this morning?
If truly you are excited, Houston, Texas, can you show your excitement by making a shout? Whoosh! Glory to God!
To take on Before we go further this morning, I want to introduce an amazing man of God to you. See, this morning is a special session. Everything is special and everything connects to another, such that if you miss a point, by the time Apostle shows up here, you may still be dealing with what has already gone. And if you can't connect the dots, it's like a man that is in If you are not present at the junction that leads to another one, even if you want to be ahead, there is no way you will be there because there is a gap that is already created. So what we are doing, we are not trying to test the microphone. We are not trying to prepare. Maybe you will be ready for what is coming. I'm saying something is already happening right now from the worship. So the man of God I want to introduce to you introduce to you first is Apostle's friend. And you see, in the company of prophets, the spirit of prophecy is a shared experience. Apostle doesn't call anybody his friend in the real sense of, of it until there is a spirit that is at work in you. So this morning, the man I want to introduce to you, I don't want you to receive him just as a speaker, but receive him in his position as a minister of God. The Bible says, "He that receives a prophet in the name of a prophet." Receiving a prophet in the name of a prophet means you recognize his office and you discern him.
On the basis of that discernment, you will have the prophet reward.
So with Jesus' joy this morning, it's my pleasure to bring to the microphone Dr. Dr. Onku Okpe. Can we celebrate him? Let's celebrate him! Celebrate him! Celebrate him! Thank you.
If your hands are not tired, if you have long— if you have breath in your lungs, if your legs are not hurting, can you rejoice?
Rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice! Hallelujah!
Good morning, Houston! How y'all doing? Awesome! Can you walk up to 5 people people and tell them, don't miss your Kairos moment. Don't miss your Kairos moment. Walk up to another 5 set of people, tell them, I am ready, I am ready, I am ready, I am ready, I am ready, I am ready, I am ready, I am ready.
You don't look like it.
Say, I am ready, I am ready, I am ready, I am ready, I am ready!
Glory!
You can have your seats. Thank you, thank you so much. Um, I want to appreciate everyone also will be here with us in a sec. All right, can we open our Bibles to Luke 19:41? 1 to 44. And we'd like to say a big thank you for everyone who is joining us online. We love you and there's nothing you can do about it. If you're here, if this is your first time that you'll be under the administration of the servant of God, Apostle Femi Lazarus, or this is your first time in a long time, I'd like you to know that God brought you here on a purpose and for a purpose. God brought you here on time and in time. There's a blessing tailor-made for If I put it on, it wouldn't fit me. So now that you're here, I want you to maximize everything that God has in stock for you. Don't get distracted. Ensure you get everything. Tap your neighbor, "If you lose God, I'm gonna get your blessing." All right, are we ready? Luke 19:41-44, it says, now as he drew near, he saw the city and wept over it. Saying, if you had known, even you, especially in this your day, the things that make for your peace, but now they are hidden from your eyes. For days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment around you, surround you, and close you in on every side, and level you and your children within you to the ground, and they will not leave in you 'One stone upon another, because you did not know the time of your visitation.' May this not be your case, that God is here and you never knew God was here. The fact that you're here is a proof that God is here already. Say that to your neighbor. Say, 'The fact that I am here is a proof that God is here already.' And this is the word of the Lord. Jesus wept over a city, not because it lacked power, but because they missed their Kairos moment. God was present, but they were distracted. God was speaking, but they weren't discerning. Let it not be said of you today that heaven was ready, but you were not. That heaven was ready, but you were not. Say, Lord, I will not miss my moment. I recognize your voice through your vessel. I receive your word with faith, with honor, and with expectation. Say, my spirit is alert. Can you raise your voice? Say, my spirit is alert. Are you guys hungry this morning? Say, my spirit is alert. Say, my heart is ready. This is my time of visitation. Can we Pray a short prayer this morning. Say, Father, prepare me for divine encounter. Let every resistance in my heart break this morning. Open my spirit to hear by faith. Let the voice behind the voice of the man of God speak to me. Raise your voice, people, this morning. Raise your voices, raise your voices. In Jesus' mighty name we have prayed. See, people of God, God is still speaking, but the tragedy is that many are not listening. Not because they don't want to hear, but because they don't recognize the voice coming through a vessel they did not expect. And every time God wants to shift a destiny, he sends a word and he wraps it in a man. That man may be ordinary on the outside, but he carries something internal on the inside. Hallelujah! Matthew 10:41, it says that he that receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward. That means that the way you receive God's vessels determine what you get out of it. It's a transaction going on. Ezekiel 2:2 says, as he spoke to me, the spirit entered into me. Me. The words I speak are spirits, so there's a transaction going on. So if someone gives you something, you have the responsibility to receive. Say, I'm a world-class receiver. And the Bible says he could do no mighty works there. Why? Because familiarity killed their faith. My wife is watching right now. She knows that even though Apostle is my brother, I never watch like somebody I know. I watch him like this is God speaking through a man to me. That is how you receive God's word. That's how it works. Hallelujah! Familiarity killed their faith. I don't want you to get familiar. I know most of you, you watch Apostle on PPC, you know, you join the prayers, Sons and Daughters and all of that. This is a different moment. It, and I want you to shout it in the ear of your neighbor. Say, this is my kairos moment. Say it like you mean it. The widow of Zarephath did not miss it. She gave her last meal to a prophet and entered into a supernatural supply. She didn't see a hungry man. Hallelujah! She did not see a hungry man. She saw a vessel. The Shunammite woman did not miss She built a room for the prophet and got her long-awaited miracle. I pray for someone this morning. That which you've longed in your heart to receive from God, as you receive God's word from the man of God this morning, it will happen to you in the name of Jesus. Yonah, it will happen to you in the name of Jesus. Now, what is the difference between people who miss their Kairos moment and people who maximize it? Discernment. Somebody say discernment. Somebody say discernment. They knew it was more than a sermon, it was a divine setup. God has set this program up before the foundations of the world. He has pre-planned, pre-programmed everything and everyone who will be here that you'll be blessed. So I need you to be hungry this morning so you soak in the word. Hallelujah! So the next thing I would like, like to share with you is How do I receive God's word from God's vessels? Because this is not a regular moment, this is a Kairos moment. And Kairos means God's appointed time, a window where heaven touches the earth, a window when God sends a vessel your way. So this kind of moments, you don't just watch a man, you receive the mantle. Hallelujah! Don't say I know him. Say, Lord, I know you're speaking to me. So how do I receive God's word? Number 1, you receive God's word with expectation. Somebody say expectation. Somebody say expectation. Matthew 5:6, he said, he says, blessed are they that hunger and thirst. So you need to come hungry. God fills the hungry, not the fool. So if you're already full, you're not the candidate this morning.. You have to be hungry. Ask your neighbor, are you hungry? Are you hungry for the word? Number 2, you receive God's word with honor. Somebody say honor. Honor opens the door for impartation. Where there is no honor, there will be no flow. Where there is no honor, there will be no flow. Number 3, you need to receive God's word with responsiveness. Don't just hear the word and say, "Nice word, preach, preacher. Come on now." You need to respond. Take notes. Use the POM model. Pray. So while the word is coming, don't just look. Mutter words under your breath. Pray in tongues. That's how you show that you're hungry. You're praying whilst the man of God is speaking so that God will touch his mouth and send your own word to you, because there's a word for everyone. And don't just stop there, obey his word, obey his word, obey his word. And after the program, you now take action, you move on the word. When Jesus asked Peter to step out from the boat, he didn't just speak to Peter. He told the old disciples, come. But the only person that acted on that word was who? Peter. So it is not enough for you to hear the word. After now, you take, you wage war with the words of prophecy that you receive in this program. Can you say a loud amen to that? Hebrews 4:2 says, the word profited them nothing because it was not mixed with faith. Lastly, you receive God's word with sensitivity. Don't be distracted. Sometimes your word can come in a sentence and you can miss it by just checking your phone. Your word can come in a phrase and you can miss it by just like a tap. So tell your neighbor, don't distract me. Look at another neighbor, say, neighbor, don't distract me. So I want you to know that your Kairos moment has come and heaven is about to speak to you. Don't look at the man, look at the man too. Don't just attend, ensure that you leave here with an encounter. Apostle did not come all the way from Nigeria to just come and see your nice faces. To come and see your nice hairs, your nice wigs, or your shoes. He's here on a mission and for a mission. Amen, somebody! So the word of God is coming to shift your season. The word of God is coming to answer your questions. Someone told me, ah, Uncle Femi, see, I have a lot of questions for Apostle. And I was praying for the person. God is going to touch the mouth of the man of and speak answers to those questions in the name of Jesus. Can we stand on our feet as we stir up our faith? One of the ways you receive God's word is when you pray in tongues. When we pray in tongues, we edify ourselves. We rise up like an edifice above doubts because there is a language God does not understand, and that is the language of unbelief. One of the ways to crush unbelief is by praying in tongues. I want us to lock hands together, lock hands with your neighbor and raise your voices this morning and pray in the spirit. Because this is the mystery of faith activation. I want your expectation to catch fire. Raise your voices. If you are still looking at me, you're wrong. This is the time to raise your voices. Raise your voices. That is the key. Repa ko shere te bakaza. Le bende keze. Repate kuza. Le barada da da bakasha raba. Pray with hunger. Pray with faith in the name of Jesus. Repaka sha raba la da da da bashte. Let the hearing of faith stir your womb for the word that is coming!
Rebebekozarabalada reba ba rabababa babababa rebekebekere deboshta—
we break into alignment, we position ourselves for divine download! Rebakazatabalada rebekebekere debozha— We are not here to speculate. We incubate. We incubate. Hey! Hey! Let's get deeper! Let's get deeper! Let's get deeper! Let's get deeper! My discernment is sharpened. My discernment is sharpened. My discernment is sharpened. My Discernment is sharpened.
We are still praying, we are still praying. You don't need two meetings to do what God can do at once. Eke patelia suvrane shate. You don't need two meetings to receive what God can do for you this day.
You don't need two meetings, people of God. And if you don't want to see it, what can happen now, can you communicate your hunger to God this moment? Eno ma si eto paradisia leta. I receive this day the fullness of what is made available in this meeting. Somebody is praying. Somebody's voice is being heard in heaven this morning. Somebody's voice is being heard in heaven this morning. You have just few moments. You have few moments. Can you push a little more? Can you push a little longer? Shall a nation be born at once? That's what the word of the Lord says. He said, but as soon as Zion travailed and she brought forth her child— can you bet something in the place of prayer this morning. 60 more seconds. Make it louder, make it louder, make it louder.
It's rising already, it's rising already.
When you get there, you will know it. When you get there, you will know it. When you get there, you will know it. When you get there, you will know it. This morning there will be an outpouring of the glory of God. Kasimonte ko paradisia lota. Do it a little more, a little more, a little more.
We give you praise, dear Lord Jesus. We thank you. In Jesus' mighty name we are praying. As we are praying, God's servants enter the house. Apostles in the house this morning. Oh, you are not showing the excitement.
Let Apostle know you are here this morning to receive from God.
Celebrate Jesus! Celebrate Jesus! Thank you so much, sir. We are glad to have Apostle in the house. In a moment, before Apostle comes up, I, I can see you are getting ready. You see, we can measure atmosphere. Yeah, we can, we can. When it gets to a moment where the possibilities have been heightened, everybody window. At that level, everything will be implicated.
People enter and they are subsumed by the reality of what is going on there.
At that level, you, you can't be under rain and not be wet.
It's not possible.
But you know, you can decide to shield yourself by using umbrella. So people are present in atmosphere of miracles a lot of time, they are covered. That is a wrong coverage.
So they leave that meeting with selfie, but there is no substance. Do you want to live here today with selfie or with substance? There is something that you have to show your generation as a testament that you met with God. When Elijah was speaking to Elisha, he said to Elijah that I want to get a double portion of your spirit.
He said you have asked for something that is very hard, but if only 'If only you will see me.' If only you what? You will see me. Guess what? After that meeting, the last thing Elijah did became another demand on Elisha, and Elisha called on the same God. Imagine if he has not found that God. So it means the things that bow to the person you follow, if you don't carry the spirit of that man, the thing will stand strong in your own presence and nothing will happen, because faith The fullness will still remain the same. But the moment you leave this meeting, what I'm telling you is that something will come as a demand to test what you have received. At that time, you shouldn't tell stories.
You should be able to say, such as I have, I give.
Let this mountain be lowered. That's why we are here this morning.
In the evening, it will be general meeting citywide. Everybody will be here. There will be massive demonstration.
But this morning, discern and enter into something. The Lord bless us in the name of Jesus. Um, in a moment right now, there is something we wanted to do, but we are going to skip that. But we want to bring the choir to take us in worship. And after the worship, the next voice you are going to hear this morning— I'm very ready, sincerely, because there is something that must not return with Apostle. You know, God does not take away his grace from his people. It shares. If I send you a picture from my phone, I won't lose the picture.
Are you aware?
But you will have it. That's what we call grace. Not that Apostle will now leave and say that thing that left. No, but you will have it such as he has. That is why we are here this morning.
Amen.
Just continue to bless the name of the Lord and just honor him.
Says, where two or three are gathered in my name, there I am in their midst.
So let your heart speak to the Lord and let your heart exalt his name.
Let your heart exalt his name.
Fix your eyes on Jesus.
We have come for him by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Holy Spirit, our minds are transformed.
Our hearts are renewed for what God is about to do.
Holy Spirit, thank you.
Thank you. We have come with our jars, Lord.
Not with cups, but with jars that you may fill them up to the brim and it will overflow.
Light of the world, you're sent down into darkness. Open my eyes, let me see beauty that raves this earth Adore you, hope of our lives, set me free. Light of the world, you sent down into darkness. Open our eyes, let Beauty that makes this earth a joy. Hope of our lives, set us free. Here I am to worship. Here I am to— here I am to say that you are— you are my God. All together love me. You are altogether worthy. You are altogether wonderful. To me, Jesus. So here I am to worship. Here I am to bow down, Jesus. Here I am to say that you're my God, you're my Lord and King. You are altogether lovely. You are altogether loving. You are altogether wonderful. Wonderful to me. You are wonderful to me. Here I am, Jesus. Here I am to bow down at your feet. Jesus, here I am to worship at your feet, to say that you're my God, you're my King, you're my Lover, you're my Master. All together, all together worthy. You are all together wonderful to me, Jesus. To me, Jesus. To Jesus, here I am. Here I am to bow down. Here I am to say that you're my God. You are all together lovely. You are all together wonderful. You are wonderful to me, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. I'll never know how much it cost to see my my sins upon the cross. I'll never know how much it cost to see my sins upon— say, I'll never know. How much it cost to see my sins upon the cross. To see my sins. Oh, never, never, never know. Oh, never, never know the sacrifice you made for me. You came yourself just for me, God. I'll never, never, never know how much it cost you, Lord. So lay yourself for me upon the cross. Jesus, our I'll never know, I'll never know, I'll never know, I'll never know the sacrifice you made for me, the sacrifice you made for me, the sacrifice you made for me upon the cross. One more time. I'll never know, I'll never know, I want to cost you, Jesus. So let yourself just relax. Nothing in this world can satisfy me. Hey, Jesus, you're the God that rules. Who is like you, Lord, in all the earth? Who is like you, Lord, in all the earth? There's much love and beauty in this world. Jesus! You're the cup that won't run dry! Jesus! You're the cup that will never run dry! Because I have Jesus, I will never go empty! Jesus, you're my cup! You— Jesus, you're my cup! Jesus, you're the cup that won't run dry! The cup that won't run dry! That's your— the cup that won't run dry! Because you're the cup that won't run dry!
We bless your holy name, Jesus. Lift your hands, everyone, where you stand, and give Jesus praise from the depth of your heart. Let everything within you magnify him, bless him, the one who is the one worthy to be called I Am That I Am. Give him praise. Let everything within you bless him. Let everything within you bless him. Blessed be your holy name. Blessed be your holy name. In Jesus' Mighty name we are praying. Now I want to say something. I don't know why, but let's look at the sequence, and I'm going to say this publicly. For the record, I believe at some point in Nigeria, God raised two prophets that their voice was not discerned as to the intention for the body of Christ. And for some reasons, the both of them are in this city now. Why Texas? We have to be discerning. So I'm not speaking here as guest because I'm not, particularly because My assignment here is not one-off, so I'm coming back. So, so, and I— this much more coded meeting, so But before I proceed, I'd like to honor God's servants in this place, pastors from different ministries. We honor you, ma. We honor you, sir. Thank you. Thank you. Please help me honor them. Okay, so we have, um, I've been sent names. I'm gonna call duly as we proceed. Thank you, sirs. Please let me honor them again. Okay, good morning, Houston. Good to see you guys. Thank you. Please, let's be seated in a moment. Um, so this is that meeting. Of course, it's we-we, so we can get into some stuff. Amen. And I've been following some part of sessions when we started. Um, help me celebrate my brother Hong Kwok Pei. Please help me just honor him.
Thank you. Okay, amen.
Are you excited to to be in God's presence. All right, let's turn our Bibles quickly. The book of, um, John chapter number 1. John chapter number 1. I've been informed that the media are working behind the scene, okay, to make sure they get me different translations. So let me list them: Amplified Message, Passion. Okay, so yeah, even John 1. Say amen. So I'm going to read from verse 1. In the beginning was the Word, Let me read King James. That's our native translation, am I correct? So many of you believe you have not said 'Thou art' to the devil, he doesn't flee. Now listen to this: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him, and without him was not anything made that was made. Let's read verse 4 together, loud and clear. 1, 2, 3, go. In him was life, and the life was the light of of men. Good News Translation says the Word was the source of life, and this life brought light to people. That's so powerful. God's Word Translation says. He was the source of life, and that life was the light for humanity. Look at what the Passion Translation says: Life came into being because of him. For his life is light for all humanity. And because this is a much more private conversation this morning, so, uh, oh, permit me to give a disclaimer that what I want to teach this morning is for those who mean business with God. God has not sent me all the way from Nigeria for you to receive a miracle. Can I say that again? That's not the purpose. Miracles can happen anywhere at any time. You can receive miracles Even by watching, there are things that you may not be able to juice out online that you get on site, because a spiritual environment is not just about the nature of what is communicated but the atmosphere. So they both combine together to produce something. Do you understand what I'm saying? So pay attention. And much more discern. I will not have to say let fire fall before fire will fall. If you listen attentively, fire will fall. I didn't hear amen to that. Now listen to what the Bible says here. Life came into being because of him. So John 1 is actually really now details about the life of Jesus. In the beginning was the Word. You look at the account of the same John talking about there are three that bears a record in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Spirit. So interpreting the life of Jesus, in the beginning was the Word. The Word has always been with God. The Word was God. In case you missed him, that same Word came to dwell dwelled amongst us. He became flesh and dwelt amongst us. We beheld his glory as of the only begotten Son of God. All right, in him was life, and because he came, people had light by his existence. Now I know many of us are Bible scholars, and you have heard that that between Malachi and Matthew, chronologically, there was 400 years of silence. Not because God lost the ability to speak, or because there was no mouthpiece. So the nature of an environment is determined by the quality of men who enter Can I say it again? The reality of an environment is determined by the quality of the men. If an environment is cold, it is because the firebringers have refused to be touched with fire. If an environment has become a zone that is a free zone for the devil to move and do his activities unchecked. It is because the people who should check him out have refused to. It is what men permit that operates. So in the midst of the thick darkness and the silence for 400 years, suddenly we began to hear a voice, and that voice was not a product of impartation from men And it was a voice that was loud and clear enough for everyone to hear him. Prepare the way for the Messiah. Prepare the way. It was the voice crying in the wilderness. And you know what I love about the fire of God? Wherever the fire is, people gather. Fire doesn't need advertisement. Amen. I love you. I've tried to buy something that you need, what is not readily available around, and you have to go to different places to search for it till you find it. Once what you carry becomes a need, you'll be sought for. The idea about being used by God is not to position yourself to be sought for, but to carry what God wants to release on the face of the earth. So there was darkness, and because we are reading about Jesus, because that's our prototype— let me explain, because that buttress what I was showing our pastors this morning. God never made anything thing without a prototype. Stay with me. So let me show you in your Bible. Turn your Bibles quickly to the book of Genesis chapter number 1. Stay with me, okay? Huh? Stay with me, stay with me. Genesis chapter number 1. If you're there, say Amen. If you are looking for Genesis in New Testament, make sure you come out for altar call this morning, and I mean it.
Praise God.
Thank you, Lord. Genesis chapter number 1. Let's start the reading from verse 21. Genesis 1, verse 21. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind. And God saw saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the sea, and let fowl multiply in the earth. Just to buttress a bit, hope you know that of all creatures that God blessed, the only one that still struggles with the blessing is man. The simple thing he told fishes, be fruitful and multiply. Since then till now, they've not disobeyed. You know why? Because they don't hear contrary voices. The reason why you struggle to enter into God's promises is because there are too many things jamming your network. You hear what God is saying and what the enemy is saying. If you will build a life structure to only hear what God is saying, you will advance. That's the problem of humanity. We have the ability to hear both God and the devil.
Stay with me.
Verse 22: And God blessed them. Are there people here that are part of those that God blessed? And said what? Be fruitful and what? Multiply. That's the blessing. Multiplication is not a blessing if you are not fruitful. Zero times 1 million is zero. So multiply first, be fruitful first. So what you have betted becomes the positive integer. Sorry, I'm speaking mathematics. So it means that that as one carrying the blessing, you don't leave an environment because it is not working. Come on now. See, I know that this is morning and evening. What I love, okay, is that nobody told me I must round up at a particular time. So I will not leave till that thing opens up. Amen. Okay, so I've told my team that the phase of external ministrations for me is over. My labor now is you guys, Light Nation, everywhere people are mentoring, those I'm discipling. That's my— that's the phase I'm in now. Some of you are looking at me, say, Apostle New Jersey, stay with me. Anyone functioning the way God has described. You are not permitted to step anywhere thinking whether it may work or not work. The same way it is impossible to throw something up and it refuse to come down, it is impossible to carry the seed of life and not be blessed. You are not trying to be blessed. The blessing predates your consciousness. He placed the seed there before you became conscious. So say after me: I am blessed. The moment you add future tense to the blessing, that's where your problem begun from. So you believe I will be blessed once I see a car, I see a house, then okay, I'm being blessed. Verse 23, let me read verse 22 again. And God blessed them, saying, be fruitful, multiply, and fill the waters of the sea, and the fowl, and let the fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the 5th day. And God said, let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle and creeping thing and the beast of the earth after his kind. Talk to me now. And God saw that it was good. What is Genesis 1:26? 26. Read together, 1, 2, 3, go. And God said, let us make man in our image, after our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And And God blessed them. And God said to them, be fruitful, multiply, replenish the earth, and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. So God made the creeping things after their kind, the fowl of the air after his kind, the cattle after his kind. So when God said, let us make man, what is he saying? After my kind. Kind is mankind. You are God kind. That consciousness needs to sit.
Are you here?
You are what? God kind. That's what he said. Let us make man after our image, our kind. Then he blessed man and said to man, be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth after their kind. So where was the kind? In the mind of God. The ants that creeps on the face of the earth, in his mind. Man after his kind. Where is that kind? Himself. So God operates using the principles of prototypes. So when you read about Jesus, you understand that Jesus did not just come to this earth to die alone. The primary reason why he came him was to die for our sins. That's the primary reason. So his mission is fulfilled in his death. Hello, yours is not fulfilled in your death, so stay alive. Stay alive. I've told Christians, don't joke with matters of life and death. You must always Always insist on life. Don't joke with it. Don't tolerate sickness. I don't care what the name is. Don't tolerate the thought of— you see, you understand, you win from inside out. But pay attention, another thing Jesus came to do is to give fulfillment and to fulfill the prototype of the Project called man. The project called man was an hijacked project. God made man in his own image, in the image— and before man could begin to fulfill the purpose for his creation, the reason why God to fulfill the purpose for his creation, the reason why God brought him in the first place. The project was hijacked. As God said, you should not eat of any tree in the garden, the woman said, well, God said we should not eat of this particular tree, neither should we touch it. He said, because he said the day we touch it, we will die. And the serpent said, 'You shall not surely die.' That's countering directly what God said. But he wasn't just saying that. While he was saying that, he was flashing the fruit right before our eyes. He was imagining how juicy it would be to drink this fruit, how interesting, what the taste will look like. We've tasted every other thing but this. You can have the whole world and that part which belongs to God, devil makes it more savory in your mouth. So she said, ah, this is a tree to be desired to make one wise. And she took of it and ate, and nothing happened to her. Nothing happened to her.
I said nothing happened to her.
Eve was fine. She was in intact. I'm going to teach you about the edge today, what it means. She was intact, fine. So much so that when Adam came, unless she told him she had eaten of the fruit, he wouldn't know. But when Adam— look at the wisdom of God. When he made Adam, he released his breath. When he took the rib from Adam to make Eve, there was no need for a new breath. The rib was such matured. So the devil came for Eve as a means to get to Adam. The foundation was Eve— was Adam. That's the one carrying the seed of the project called man in his loins, and he had not passed that seed until the fall. So when they fell, all the seeds died. So the devil is not just attacking you, he's attacking what you carry. He's attacking the womb that carries the vision. He's attacking what will be bettered. He's attacking what will be born. You will cry about the attack because you don't even know you are a threat. It takes low self-esteem to ask, why is the devil attacking me? Why should he not attack you? If you were the devil, will you allow you go scot-free with the visions you carry? I preach and I get attacked, and I know I deserve it. How do you confront a major pillar what the devil is building and allow you go? I— no, I'm not a man to be pitied. If you— a billion times you will see me being dragged online. I deserve it.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
So I don't go sit down and say, oh, you know, what have I done now? What have I—
what have I not done?
My God, when Adam ate, suddenly something left And they were, for the first time in human existence, they knew nakedness. Clothes was an afterthought. The original design was the glory. And no fashion designer can put clothes on you and add glory to it. The best you can wear is clothes. That's what I'm saying now. But if you know God, even if you can't wear designers— I went to a shop, they took me to a store in London, said I should go and buy one suit that it will look good. I said, let's go. Then we picked the suit and they said it was £6,000. My God, I said, brothers and sisters, What is he going to give me? Is there going to be something inside that regulates the temperature? I get you. Like, somebody might say, 'Ah, Pastor Femi Lazarus, we thought your mind will be lighter than this.' No, I get you. No, no, I know. Who told you my mind is not large? I get you. I get you. I just said But if I wear this thing, souls will be crying if I sleep. Orphanage will not let me sleep. Anyways, I'm not saying it's bad to wear what's good. Put on what's good. But even if you've not gotten to the point where you can buy certain things, have you seen people who don't have much but there's something they carry? That's God attesting to the fact that I know this one. You see, you can fake many things. You can't fake the presence. The presence is God's signature. That's, that's it. People can scream, make noise, do all those stuffs. How many of you were blessed by the worship when they were ministering? You can't hide it. If you have it, you have it. If you don't, you don't. No suit in this world or convoy in this world can bring the presence you didn't come with. People can be raised up in their imaginations that, ah, this must be a man of God, until you speak, and they discover that you are like Samson that rose up but God was not with him. So we have built structures to use many things things to try to replace. The simplicity of the presence is powerful anywhere. The presence— lift your hands, say, Lord, I function in your presence. Say it again, one more time. So that day, the project called man was abolished, and it remained so for 4,000 years. Let me tell you something. Recently we started seeing in news that, um, scientists through DNA engineering, gene sequencing, what whatever it is, are able to bring some animals back from extinction. Have you seen that? Talk to me now. You've seen that, right? They are bringing back some animals from extinction. So it is possible for certain creatures that God made to go into extinction. In the same vein, it is possible for the earth to miss certain variants of the anointing. Let me say it again. Animals that God made can go into extinction. That you have this species of wolf, but this species is gone. You can have this species of ministers, but this species are no longer on the earth. What the devil is trying to do is to quietly make sure that certain species are living, but those that should discern what they carry will not understand that the way God operates is to make prototypes, then others after his kind. And you will now begin to cry for it when it is beyond reach. We've seen it, and history has shown us that believers doesn't value what is on the earth till it is gone. We have this strange affection for the dead and mismanage the living. It's, it's, it's, it's our culture. And the reason for that is because Everything the devil wants to do is time-bound. Let me say this to you. It was not just important that Adam fell, the timing for the fall was more important than the fall. Yes, sir. It is important that the timing is before a seed that is righteous comes out of his loins, because because you will have to go and re-engineer that seed. Even though the enemy was silent about the timing, but as we observe closely, we saw that the timing was more important. The pressure Ruben had to sleep with his father's wife was before the blessing will be communicated. If— listen to what I'm saying— the pressure you have to sin is before you enter into that major thing God has prepared you for. If you will stand, he will leave you for a while and come back at another Kairos moment. The day Jacob cursed Reuben, Joseph must have remembered that if I had slept with Potiphar's wife, I will not be here. Are you there?
Okay, are you following what I'm saying?
There. He must, because it was the same thing. So let me teach you a principle. People can claim that they are living in sin, but the anointing is not departing. It's because they've not broken the edge. Let me tell you what the edge is. Can I tell you? This is the first time ever I'm teaching this. So let me have 4 men.
Thank you.
Please file straight line. This is Generation 1, this is Generation 2. Pastor, please stand in front of them, sir. Thank you, sir. This Generation 1, this Generation 2, this Generation 3, this Generation 4. Let's assume That Generation 1 could not enter into God's plan and promise because of just one sin, not everything, one. In fact, one, let's say adultery. Generation 2 comes, is seeing that this thing has destroyed this life here, but I'm an offspring of this life. The devil says, no, you don't have to commit adultery, just do pornography. So it stays there. He will not give you that big one because you will fight, but he will give you what will bring you there. Hey, so this one stays there. And listen, it will be functioning under the anointing as though the devil doesn't exist. And maybe the poverty that caught up with this generation will not catch up with him because as far As this is concerned, the demon that has been positioned to take you away, see, yeah, okay, from that inheritance is not just anything but this particular cup. The day he drinks it, it occurs to him he's stripped, he's naked, he's broken the hedge. Now this is not a license for believers to begin to sin and say— but I'm saying that Those tiny, tiny things are the fast train designed to bring you to a place that you will break the edge without feeling guilty. And by— because it's been going on for long, once you step into that— let me tell you something, the life of a man is easy till he drinks what his father's drunk.
Once he's—
you've just authorized the devil. So this Generation 3 now have pressure in that area because he can't explain. Because when you lose a battlefield, your children will have to fight in it. Don't break the hedge. He that breaks the hedge, the serpent strikes. And it goes on. You must discern the unique battle that those who carry what you desire fought. If Elijah will come in the spirit and in the power— I'm sorry, if John the Baptist will come in the spirit and the power of Elijah, Elijah. Then he asked depression to win. The ministry of Elijah wasn't over when he said, 'Am I better than my fathers?' Then God said, 'Take me.' It was pressure. John the Baptist said, 'Go and ask Jesus, is he the Messiah, or should we expect someone else?' In both cases, Jezebel was in powerful till the man of God was discouraged. Elijah that could call down fire— are you with me? Please sit down, sir. Let's give them a big hand. Elijah that could call down fire on soldiers should try it on Jezebel. But why won't he? Because when When you are a voice in the wilderness, the way the devil fights you is through intimidation. The idea and the reason for all the noise is to make sure you keep quiet. The devil knows those who are saying the truth and he knows those who are playing games. He will raise a mob to shut you up. And once you become intimidated— you see, there are many things you can do life with, but you can't survive God's calling with. One of it is the need for approval and validation. You can't be a prophet that way. The need for someone to look at you and give you thumbs up that you are doing well. You will do what God wants you to do, and even God will not tell you, well done. He will not repeat what he said. He will tell you, go in this dynamite. Are you following what I'm saying? Yes, sir. So you may notice at some point in your life, God sent you on an assignment and there were issues, and you went back to him to console you, and he's quiet. It. One time I had so much big problem, years back, about 10 years ago, no, 11 years ago. Problem at this ministry, this, this, that. I went to pray, laid down the floor to pray. God said, son, go and eat suya. I said, Lord, 'Can't you see how my heart is as heavy as a stone?' He said, 'Stand up. At least repeat what you said then, that have I not commanded you and sent you as a—' He didn't talk. He said when he does that, it is so that he can know what is in your heart, whether you will deny him or not. God is not the one that speaks and he say, "Répétez." No. Once has he spoken, twice have I heard. Are you following me? Sometimes God tells I want to use you. You say, Lord, I want to feed my wife and children. He say, okay, and keep— stop talking till those children grow up and they are not proud of you and they are now proud of the one who responded to God's calling. And the devil is saying, 'Toh.' When the devil came for Adam, he wasn't coming for a person. He was coming for a prototype, but in progress. Because the full stature of Adam is not by creation but by growth. He will have to stay in the habitat from where he was hewn. Are you with me? And then grow from there and manifest God and spread Eden. But before he could, he was naked. Was stranded, was driven out of the garden. 4,000 years. God got quality men within those 4,000 years. We saw Noah, we saw Abraham, we saw Moses, a man who spoke and spent time with God till people could not behold him. And they had to veil him to speak. 40 days was like child's play without food. We saw David, the one that God made the covenant of sure mercy with. We saw Daniel, a man greatly beloved of God. Daniel was so powerful, God will have to assign Michael to attend to his case. You know, that doesn't make sense to you because it is possible to hear about a person from afar only to have access to them and discover that they are everything you heard and more. When Gabriel was speaking to Zechariah and he doubted, he said, I am Gabriel. I stand before the presence of God. When we stand in that place, we are not the type that talks to you and you argue. There was an angel that manifested before Joshua, and the name of this angel is the Lord of Hosts. Because you must understand that Jesus appeared in the Old Testament with the appearance of angels, because the angel doesn't mean just mean the one that is sent. You saw that also in Genesis 18 when he came to the tent of Mamre when Abraham was— that was Jesus, in case you don't know. And then he met this angel whose name is Lord of Hosts with the sword drawn out. And Joshua was asking a bold question: are you for us? We— where we stand, we don't stand for people. You are the one we either align where we stand or you disalign. He said, I'm not for you or against you, I am the captain of the Lord of Hosts. So men came, people. The Bible said men who subdued kingdoms. Hope you know that the narrative— or permit me to use the But the citation that we read in Hebrews 11, men who through faith subdued kingdoms, made reference purely to Old Testament men. Are you aware? Look at it, Old Testament. So people came, but it was until after 4,000 years before God could say, this is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased. Because if you read Genesis 1 and Genesis 2, when God was done making everything, he will say, this is good. He said, this is good. He will say, this is good. It took God 4,000 years to look at man and say, good. 4,000 years. But the battle was fierce against Adam. And I will say this to you, many of you are God's attempt to start afresh. So you don't compare your battles with those that God is not commencing with. People can be louder, but they are the continuation of a failed project. And you can be hidden and you are the commencement of something new. If you discern what part of it you are— peace is not a sign you are in God's will. It's not the same. Stop getting too addicted to being at peace. You are too used to peace. That's your problem. So you can't fight. There's no peace in the war front, and the end-time Christians have been called to war. And look like wisdom when you are living a life of compromise. Just, I must be wise. People are hailing you, you are Pennywise, Pound Foolish. And angels are saying it's not in God's will. We are not ice cream. Even people, some people don't like ice cream because of the sugar content. You are too addicted to being understood. All the prophecies you read in the Bible, when they prophesied them, they were fools. For several years, Jeremiah was shouting, 70 weeks, 70—
he was shouting, it didn't make sense.
Ah, are you here?
Yes, sir.
But there was a boy that was hearing him. Sometimes you may go to a place and raise a cry, and it's just so that somebody who is passing by can hear. Yes. And you have fulfilled your ministry. Yes. And you can leave that place thinking that you didn't do well because you were looking at their faces. But as far as God is concerned, what he wants to be bettered is done. My God, we must become spiritually discerning. Recently, when our church was demolished, I told my people, I said, they've given us a gift. They've given us a gift. Money cannot buy this gift, so seize the gift. I say, what is the gift? You've given us a church. The real ecclesia is stronger through battles. Read church history. The only time the church was ever in God's will was during persecution. We have seen through history that every time the church enters into comfort, we miss God. So even people who didn't want to be serious, when they see the enemy, they say we must muster our strength. If you stay with that life of God, you are actually indestructible. Your problem began the day you start using things as validation.
Are you here? Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Please sit down.
Let me, let me give you an illustration. I, I imagine that you're a man who loves Excellence. Anyways, you people may not be able to relate here, but no, no, you, you, you, you get what I'm saying because my people in Nigeria can relate. So maybe you are running a meeting like this, then generator went off, so you understand now. Uh-huh.
And then you are there saying, ah, this should not be, this should— at this stage we should not be having this problem.
But there's a young minister seated there who is saying, when am I going to be like these people? That I have everything going on 100% smoothly, that nothing is interrupting. And when that jam went off, God now say, can you see that everyone knows how to deal with their issues? You are crying, but a message has been passed. You have not If God is raising you as a prototype, I promise you the devil will leave the rest and face you. If they will survive, it must be that Joseph became prime minister. Why attack Reuben? Why attack Levi? Why attack Simeon? Leave all of them, deal with this Joseph. If the 12 tribes will be real, this is the guy that will aid their survival. So you can sit down there and say, why me? Why me? There is a seed inside. You are the commencement of something new that God is doing. And may I announce to you that if God is trying to flag you as a prototype, you will not have examples. So it's a lonely world. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Okay, God, console me by showing me someone who I survive what I'm trying to survive? He say you survive it and become someone's example. Yes, sir. So in those days, hell may rage, and the kings of the earth imagine vain things, set themselves against the Lord and against the anointed, saying, let us break their bands and cast their cords asunder. But he who sit in the heavens shall laugh. Most high of strength, the Lord is about to start great things with you. You must dust yourself from the pits of despondency and discouragement and questions and all those things. When? Why me? Why can't I? Why can't we? Why can't— what are you talking about? If you know what God has hidden inside of you You should not be surprised at your attack. And I make bold because I'm speaking here as a prophet that many of you are not protecting what God is building in your life. You are too simple for the protection of that seed, and it's time to stop being simple. Wait, some of us, you overstayed in the class of humility that you are now carrying the pregnancy of Jesus to Herod. No, take it to Elizabeth. To take it to Herod is to keep taking the vision to those who want to stab it to death, those who can discern it. Are you following what I'm saying here? Take it to who? Jesus. The Lord is bringing you into the awareness of the purpose for your journey, and it's bringing you— because once you come into the awareness, now you can carry the grace that is meant for that office. Okay, the grace will be far from you as long as you are not aware. You keep trying to compare your life with people and say— I say God is raising you as a prototype. Many projects have failed. God is starting something new. So in a minute, lift your hands where you sit or where you stand and pray a simple prayer. Jesus, thou Son of David, help me. That's the prayer. That's the prayer. That's the prayer. You can put it on the altar. Help me. Oh, I, I, I, I wish that the person who should pray that prayer is the person who is here praying it.
Help me, Jesus, thou Son of David.
Help, help, help me.
Help me, help me, Jesus, thou Son of David, help me, help.
As we pray, as we pray.
Pray.
Jesus, help me. In Jesus' Mighty name we're praying. Sit for a moment.
Lion roar, eagles fly.
It's in you, you're meant to fly.
Thank you, Lord Jesus. Thank you, Lord.
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. It's at the scent of water, it shall spring back to life again. Igu, you are a soldier in the army of God, and the hosts await your response to the clarion call. Lions roar, eagles fly. It's in you, you were meant to fly. Lions roar, eagles fly.
Eagles fly. It's in you.
You were meant to fly.
Fly on, Roar!
Fly on, Roar! Eagles fly.
Eagles fly. It's in you. You're meant to fly.
Thank you, Lord Jesus. Amen. You know, one time— please sit for a moment— I was in our church and my pastor was preaching. I was a teenager. And he said while he was preaching that there's a young boy in this church that the Lord is going to use mightily. He said, so whenever he sees the boy going to pass, then passing from his house to buy petrol, that he just observed the presence and angels around him. I was there saying, oh my God, who might this be? Lord, just help me know the person so I can be a friend to this boy. And my stepmother called me and said, you know what Pastor said? I said, I heard. Say, is you? Ah, me? I didn't feel him. I wasn't feeling anything. I'm just busy. Many of you have concluded on your ordinariness because you are trying to judge the presence by feelings. What God wants to burn through you, we cannot afford for another generation to fail. And the way you know where he is, is that the enemy will try to attack attack that spot. The reason for the attacks, for the bombardment, for the disappointment, for the failures, for the trial and error is because there is something to be born. Don't sit down mourning the pain. Mustard yourself with strength. As soon as Zion travails, she brings forth. Are you still there? Yes, sir.
Stay.
Don't get into the trap of self-pity. Don't get into that trap. Are you still with me? So God likes to do what he does using the principle of what? Prototypes. Prototypes. So when you now read Genesis— um, sorry, John, because I'm just entering my teaching now— chapter number 1, verse 4, that in him was life. It is so you can say, in me is life. And that life was the light of men. It is so you can say, that life is the light of men. And it made that clear, clearly, in John— I'm sorry, Matthew chapter number 5. Matthew chapter number 5. If you are there, say amen. Matthew 5:14, it's a very, very clear scripture. I don't know if the media have now been able to get translations. Oh, God bless you. So let's read Matthew 5:14 in King James. Let's read together. Loud and clear. Everybody want to go? You are the light of the world. A city that is set cannot— so even if you listen, if you like, leave Houston and go to Mexico and say so that nobody will know I'm called, I want to hide, it will fish you out. It will just begin with somebody coming to talk to you and you are wondering, me, I have my own problem, why are they always down to me. And God will let you know from the day you have the calling, your life is not yours. As poor yet making many rich. I've had moments in my life that all I wanted to do with my life in that season was lock myself somewhere and cry. And you will stand on the altar, you are the reason why somebody will stop crying. From the moment he has signaled that grace on your life, that life is not yours. That's, that's the simple thing that is difficult for this gender to understand. Your life is not yours. As simple as that. You've been bought with a price. Don't you get it?
It's not yours.
Think about it. Hey, my business. Hey, my— see, I saw a video. I'm glad it happened here in America, so it's not Nigeria that you can say, Nigeria, Nigeria is the best place in this world right now.
Are you aware?
A monkey was trying to cross the road with the baby, and a car killed the monkey, and they came to collect the baby from the hands of the dead monkey. That child, that baby monkey— what, what's a baby monkey called? I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't know it. I'm sure it's not a monk. That baby monkey will now have to continue the journey from there without the mother. It is a demonstration of the fact that if you die now, life continues. So while you have that breath in your nostrils, serve him. Are you following what I'm saying there? None of us is so important that they will pause the entire world to have a day, public holiday. Do you understand what I'm saying? I would have loved to use your president for example, but I don't want my visa revoked. So whoever, just copy and paste. Please, please help me, okay? Please. But you Do you get the message? I watch with amazement as they took the baby off the hands of the dead monkey. To let you know how strong motherhood is, even in death was still clinging to that child. But now that child will have to factor his journey in life alone. There's nothing God gives you that is not an entrustment. And do with care and with a sense of awareness. Lift your voice and say it loud and clear: my life is not mine. Say it one more time. I can live my life the way I want, it's my life, I can do whatever I want. Oga, the day the owner demands that birth, no certificate in the world can stop him. The devil— you see, the last idol that man will worship is self. So when you look at the word idolatry keep being used when the letters of Paul, it is not in respect to putting down the idol called Baal or respect to— no, the most dangerous idol you can worship is yourself. And you will notice you already stepped into that idol worshiping when the most dominant word in your sentences is 'I.' Do you know who I am? Do you know what I have accomplished in life? Do you know what I can do to you now? Do you know what I do? If you ever have to tell people what you are, you are not Anybody you hear say, do you know who I am? That person is not— if it's that important, they will know. Are you feeling what I'm saying there? I think the most common statement here is, 'Gugu me.' Even Coke will not say, 'Gugu me,' and it's a drink. Look at that. Matthew 5: 14 in Message translation. Jesus, my life is yours. Spirit, keep brooding over me. Give us that scripture. Jesus, my life is yours. Spirit, keep brooding over me. Matthew 5:14.
Message.
Here is another way to put it: you are here to be light, bringing out the God colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We are going public with this, as public as a city on the hill. Wow. But how can you— how do you shine that light? It is because you first and foremost have that life. So the formula when we look at the ministry of Jesus is the life— or the light that was exuding from his ministry is to the degree of the life that he carries. I'm going to explain. I love the way Passion Translation puts it. Matthew 5: 14, he said, your lives light up the world. Let others see your light from a distance, for how can you hide a city that stands on the hilltop? So have you seen people who are bright and shining light? It is to the degree of the life that is life is at work in them. And sometimes when we talk about that life, so I've discovered that we might be far from the in-depth meaning of that life because, um, you look at it as breath. No, that's not it. Your breath, you don't need to know God. Even the one that is born in whatever practice of idols is born born with breath. That breath is called zoki. That's the animal life. You don't need to know God to have it. So that zoki, within the economy of that zoki, it is possible to know people who have human success more than you, because that zoki is a life form. And within that life form, there are people can succeed in it. So the next time you hear people tell you that so-so-and-so person is not a Christian and yet is wealthy, number one, it is because of the kind of Christianity that has been sold to them that wealth is the proof of knowing God. Number two, they are speaking like that because of the life form that they have. So they can only compare those within the same economy of life, okay? So your competition in life is not with Elon Musk. Your competition is not with Mark Zuckerberg. Is not your future. Your future is Christ. How can you carry eternal life and use it to become like the one who doesn't have it? And that's why the work of the fivefold ministry gifts is to equip the saints for the work of ministry. Until we all come to the image of the fullness of the stature of Christ. That's where you are going.
That's it. You say, is that it with all my ambition?
That's it. And that's where the wisdom of God is. Is the wisdom of God. Is God full in man. It wasn't possible for the fullness of God to dwell in a man bodily. They could only carry dimensions till Jesus came. In him dwells the fullness of the Godhead. Do you know what it means? God is the river that never run dry, contained meant in Christ. You cannot— you— we have only carried measures. Abraham, a dimension. Moses, a dimension. David, a dimension. Elijah, a dimension. You think you've seen all till Elisha came. Are you following what I'm saying here? Where is your destination? Christ. Let's, let's leave that for a while. So that life that I carry is my life form. I explained something to some of you in Atlanta, that in elementary biology, organisms exist in different life forms. There are some, you see, they are unicellular organisms. They are one-celled organism, and that's their own life form, and they are sufficient. You have examples of that, like amoeba, is unicellular. But once you now start talking about multicellular cellular organisms, you are talking about complex network of cells to perform similar task. You start talking about plants and animals, that's their life form. The man in Christ is not in that life form. The life he now functions with is the exact life that God functions with. You see, and for those of you who followed the last time we had World Dimension teaching every day for one month, the next one is coming. And what I'm going to be teaching about throughout is eternal life, because if we understand that life, it will occur to you you that through one man, death, sickness, sin came into this world, and death through sin. And by one man's obedience also came the gift of righteousness. So what does that mean? It means that if the sin problem has been taken care of and the death problem has not been ironed out, it is only hanging in your consciousness. You were wired to think about death.
That's your consciousness.
Some of you can't even drink water, and I'm not saying you start joking with your health. Can I go a bit deeper? A bit. He said, "Ah, the doctor, you know, one time we got a dietitian to draw a plan." So he drew the plan and they said I will take broccoli. I said, "Okay." I said, "So some Let's use. I said, Mombo. And he drew the thing. I said, oh, we prepare salmon with something. I said, where is rice? He said, Apostle B, this one again, they say it's just one pouch of this one. One pouch of what? So I tried it for some days because of my wife. One time, though my wife said we are doing— I now enter my wife's office, I said, Pastor Mimi, the scent I'm hearing here Doesn't sound— this is not broccoli. No, no, no. I said, Pastor Mimi, this is vegetable, and there's swallow here. He say, you caught me. I said, I'm done. Because the law of life I found is that anything your wife is eating, eat. There's a reason why women live long. That's the day I left the school of broccoli. So I now say, this thing is good, but this is not the blessing of the Lord. No, now, now, now, now get me. This is the balance. Take care of your body. When people are sick, I tell them, do you have faith to be healed? Being afraid of ejection is not faith to be healed. Being afraid of chemotherapy is not faith to be healed. Faith begins with a word, and it's not a general word, specific word. To Faith comes by hearing. That's the RMA. Peter can't walk on water if Jesus didn't say come. So that's the balance. Okay, take care of your health. Exercise. I can get back home now and they check me up because I do regular checkup. Okay, and said from our evaluation Tradition were observing that I should take away this from your food, I will complain. But because I intend to do this work for long, I will adjust. So I will not leave this place and they said somebody who followed your sermon is dead. So we must, we must be. But I'm saying, while we are at that, The spirit of a man is designed to bear his infirmity, that our strength is from inside out. Till our bodies are not capable of carrying certain panaji— pathogens— because it is saturated with life. While you are in the process of learning that life, take care of your body. But you should expect that you ought to be saturated with that— what? Life. Say it again. I have life. Say it one more time. Say it one more time. Now I'm trying to get to where I'm going. Because when I get there, I will not have to say God should release the anointing. He will. Okay, fire is going to fall here. So that life is now what powers our existence. Every day you wake up in the morning, you must be conscious of zoe as That's the life of God. You must insist. And that life is in quality and quantity. We don't like to get there. It is in quantity, meaning that with long life it satisfies you till you see your fourth generation, till you say, I'm done. Anyways, because it's not a series, I'm going to stop it there. But that life— let me give you an instance. Please, is there anyone here with a mobile phone? So if you have a mobile phone, the battery of your mobile phone is what powers it. Am I correct? Talk to me now. There are other complex stuffs that works in the mobile phone. Maybe some little transistors, I don't know whether thyristors, whether whatever, all those things will work there. They draw a panel, they connect the diodes, the triode, they are there. But all those things without the battery is decoration. And I know that many of these phones, mine function like that. As the battery drops to certain level, it enter power saving mode. It is the same phone, but certain functions will have to shut down for longevity. As you boost the battery, it will occur to you that the same phone can do more because of the level of life. You might be functioning with a battery level that all it is capable of doing is speaking in tongues, but I've also come to announce, if you will proceed in that tongue, you will rise higher and higher like an edifice. You become charged. It will occur to you that more can happen to you that you didn't power The power form you have is the power you subscribe to.
If you will subscribe for more, more will happen.
There is a question on all of us right now. There is a generation rising who are questioning the— not the miracles, but the quality. They are saying we have seen healings, but it is not notable. They are saying we've seen people get up from crutches, but there are no proofs that they came on crutches. They are saying we've seen people rise up, but they are always nameless and faceless. But we have notable people who are sick and have not been healed. The man at the gate called Beautiful was notably there every day asking for alms. So when Jesus— I'm sorry, when Peter said, such as I have, give I thee. It was a notable miracle that could not be denied. God needs to raise people carrying life form to perform notable miracles that would douse argument. They don't hate our God, they are just saying the sons representing him are counterfeit. Majority of those who think that hate Jesus, they love him. I've learned to see beyond the smoke screen. I've learned to see beyond. See, in fact, many of them are doing it because they love him, but they are saying this compared to what is written about the apostles in the epistles looks like fake. It's a— are you feel I'm saying it? Before you say it is persecution, they are just saying Show us something we can't argue.
The earnest expectation of creation eagerly waits for what? The manifestation of the sons of God.
Creation itself is subjected to groaning and pain like childbirth, waiting for the adoption to it. If there's a blind man in Houston who is notably blind, and while passing, the Lord use you to heal that person, they can't deny. I'm saying we will enter the life form to begin to do notable things that cannot be denied. I didn't hear amen to that. People will rise from here whose function will silence the tongue of the heathen. There are questions presented before this generation, and it is not the old that will answer it. Every man will answer the question of their own generation. The fathers are old and they are passing. They've answered the questions of their their time. That's why they are where they are. You must now subscribe to the grace, the wisdom, the power.
Listen, when that life— when you are full with it, it doesn't just activate tongues, it activates wisdom. It's in levels.
It activates authority that you can speak and the devil knows a son has spoken. And I will give this one the same respect I give to his father. As the power is increasing, many things are increasing. I see the Lord because the Lord showed me a vision overnight, and one of the things the Lord wants us to pray about in this season is something called discerning of spirit. Now take that as a word word from the Lord. Many Christians might get into trouble because they did not sharpen their discernment and they make wrong allegiance or alliances till they are swept off. As you function in that life, different aspects, different spiritual components, different things— are you with me? Recently, one of my boys that drives us was driving my car. So he now showed me that, ah, this car can function both as automatic and manual. I said, I didn't know. As far as I'm concerned, I've only driven it as automatic. So he said, no, this is gear something. I didn't know. The fact that you are the owner Without the knowledge, doesn't mean you maximize it. This is eternal life, that you might know him. Dimensions— there are dimensions that opens through knowledge. As you are exposed to that knowledge, a possibility unlocks. And if you are aware that knowledge is not exposed in your heart. You will live carrying the potential and die with the potential without the manifestation. It is time for us to raise a generation again that is crying for power. It is not for showbiz, it is for tools, a tool for the job. Are you following what I'm saying here? That I will not do this life like a toothless lion, a lion that can't roar, a lion that can't bite.
In a minute, let me lead you to pray. Give me power. I'm tired of being dry. I'm tired of ordinariness. I can't continue in cluelessness. I'm tired of being blown off by every wind of doctrine. Give me power.
Ever true, changing me and changing you. We have come with open hearts.
Oh, let me chat with you. Chat with Ever true, changes me and changes you. We have come with open hearts, all happy and cheerful.
Lift your hands and connect and ask him, empower me like the days of old. Thank you, Lord Jesus. In Jesus' mighty name we're praying. Sit down for a moment. Jesus told the disciples concerning— because when you read the Bible, one of the things you must discern is that It was written to a specific people at a specific timeline with a specific cultural inclination. So the science of interpreting scriptures needs to be studied on its own— biblical hermeneutics. But even for a world that was less dark compared to our world now, he said to them in that less dark world that don't go without power. If Jesus will have a word to tell this generation, what do you think it will be? You need power. And let me give you a warning, particularly those of us who are outside the country. I found out that there's an assumption that once you are in some of these climates, let's water down this Christianity thing of it. Be too much. It's a deception. Hold on. Boxers fight from different countries. You see, today they are doing Riyadh season in Saudi Arabia, tomorrow they are in London, next month in America. Have you ever seen where Mike Jackson— Mike Tyson punched small because this is Texas? The war is the war. Regardless of location, the preparation must be the preparation regardless.
It doesn't change by location.
We are in this world, are you following what I'm saying here?
But we are not of this world. We walk in the flesh, but we don't war after the flesh.
The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but might. If we fast in Nigeria, fast here. Here too. If you can be disciplined in Ghana, in Zimbabwe, in Nigeria, be disciplined here too. Listen, once you get here and lose your guard, the devil will knock you out. Don't let anybody deceive you. Come here, I'm not going to talk to you in it. It's the same old rugged cross in Mexico, in China, in America. America, in London, the same cross. Are you still here? You contend for the faith. You contend for the faith. Sit down for a moment. We are able to illuminate this dark world to the degree that we subscribe to that life, and that life is what lightens our world. You see, as an intercessor, I understand fully the impact of prayer, that you can get to a territory and say no word to anybody, and you are just doing business with prayer, and the climate will begin to respond, and people will start finding ease. In their prayer because someone is laboring for the dark clouds to be rolled off. Prayer is not an activity you need to announce. If it is going up, the way heavens react will testify of it. We will pray and see this morning. We thank God for this so you can have an idea of what tonight will be. We will do business with prayer till Texas becomes the place from where God can reach America. Because all what sometimes what God just needs is takeoff zone. If you will allow him, he will. Are you still there? Ah, lift your hands. Say, I refuse to be powerless. I refuse to be powerless. Do you know that you can host power even as a nursing mother? Yes, sir. Who told you that marriage is a license to become powerless? How can you be praying more when you were single than now that you are married? Don't you know you now have destinies to cater for? Yes, sir. How can a child be so is talking from your hands, and the witch and wizard can give that same child biscuit, and the child is flying that night. Should everything that flow from you not be fire? What is the nonsense about somebody met my husband in the place and is snatching my husband? Is your home not guarded with the walls of fire? Many of you are fighting physically what you should fight spiritually. You are not of this world. You don't pick your reference. Are you with me? From there, stay on your watch and mount the guard over your home. Speak words to them. Jacob said, gather yourselves, ye sons of Jacob, and I will tell you what will befall you in your last days. So when I call people and I say come and I lay hands, we are installing At certain point in your life, you are not doubting if something will flow or not. In fact, because of the weight, you have become careful on whose head the hand comes. Lift your hand, say, I will not be powerless. Come on, say it one more time. I will not be powerless. Sit down, sit down. Say, Lord, I receive power.
I receive power.
You know, Peter was asking verse 2 question. Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom back to Israel? He thought Jesus came for politics. Jesus said, it is not for you to know the times or the season, but you shall receive power after the Holy Ghost has come upon you. Only on the strength of that power will you be authorized to be a witness. A witness is different from a preacher. A witness Witness is the testimony of the fact that what is written is true. Because we've seen what is written, we can also see the demonstration. So he justifi— are you with me? Yes, sir. Is the proof. You receive power today. I didn't hear that amen loud enough. You receive power today. Yes. Back on campus, we're just praying. Anybody Femi Lazarus, among those who work with me, knows this story. On campus, one morning they called me and they said there's problem. They're looking for me, looking for— I said, Pastor, what's happening? It's privilege to lead the campus fellowship. So he said somebody came, say he's an abali, he's an occultic man, he's looking for you. Me? What did I do? Say, please. I took bike, we went to campus, and I saw the very old man But he's regalia, he didn't hide. And he came and said, um, you are Femi Lazarus? I said yes. He knew my name. He said, I just came to tell you that we will not touch any of your people, and you too, let us rest. I stand before God and man, I'm not a man who had anything to stories. For what? Let you rest. What was I doing? Prayer, intercession over the territory. We map this territory with special force of angels. We—
are you following what I'm saying? I'm telling you.
And I know that once you begin to pray and choose a prayer place and a prayer time, God honors it. Yes, sir. The reason we are now talking some funny, because we don't do it. We're moving from one house to another years back. I had a chair, I always place it. Anyways, it was one-room apartment, so no prayer room. So I just had a chair where I always sit down to pray, like cozy. While they were moving the old stuff, one of my boys just picked the chair and sat on it. He flung out of the chair. There's been deposit that even the clothes you wear become saturated. And I'm not saying this so that you now start saying, let me tap for a man of God. You are the man of God, so carry it. Is that okay now? You are the woman of God, you have it too. It's not the days of Elijah, this is the days of sons. Everyone heirs to the same promise. Say, I hear. I hear. Oh, glory to God. I'm tying this up now. You shall receive power after the Holy Ghost has come upon you. Why do we need that life to shine as light. Isaiah chapter number 60 from verse 1. Isaiah chapter number 60, verse 1. Arise, shine, for thy light is come. The glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For behold, the darkness shall cover the the earth, and gross darkness the people. But the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. Now, where I want to show you in this text is not even darkness and all that, but please look up. There's something you have not seen here I want to show you for the first time. He said, arise, shine, for your light is come, and the glory of the Lord is upon you. He said for the darkness. Of course, that's a definite article which tells you that this is a reference to a specific darkness whose activity you can see and trace in the Bible. And that darkness is predominantly seen in Genesis chapter number 1. In the beginning, God made the heavens and the earth, and the earth was without form and void, and what? Darkness was upon the face of the deep. So wherever darkness was. That was what was responsible for the emptiness and the voidness. So that's an entity. But he said, look at the way he described the posture that darkness will take. It will cover. And that's what is happening. Darkness understands the assignment to cover more than sons understand the assignment to cover. When children of God think about soul winning, they are not thinking about it in respect to casting nets. It is in respect to hooks. So we spend our entire life with hook dealing with a darkness that is covering. That is the posture. So if some— if the devil is bringing somebody in, and that's why you must go and listen to my teaching titled Bow. And I said it's not the bowing of every believer that is relevant. There are people that the devil doesn't consider an asset, although they are souls. Even the devil doesn't think much of them as an asset. They are not really useful. Don't think that the fact that you don't love God and subscribe to the devil means you are of use. It is possible that both God and the devil can't do much with you based on the way you have carried yourself and the level of development you have. It is true. And the proof of that is that it is not everyone that God is able to do much with. True, he carried the Israelites out of Egypt in Exodus 19, he said, on eagle's wing. But even Moses had to lament. He said, so that people will not say you brought them out of Egypt but you are not able to take them to the promised land. But everyone that stepped out of Egypt, even God could not take them to the promised land because Egypt finished them. So if you refuse to grow, the best you will be is a noisemaker. The devil is not doing much with you. You can distract people and cause confusion here and there, but you are not strategic assignment. Are you following what I'm saying here? And think about it. But look at the posture. Darkness will cover. Darkness doesn't make mistake about covering. Darkness understands scope. Sons don't. While darkness is covering, the The devil is teaching sons of God that at certain level of influence and affluence, you should become too important for God's use. Why should you as a PhD holder still value pastoring? You must be a fool. Why should you with your level of wealth still want to serve God? You must be an idiot. The devil is bringing you into the consciousness of once you enter certain size, it is your life for yourself. But what the devil doesn't know is that there is a void in man, regardless of status, that nothing can fill but the fulfillment of his calling. So we are not fools, and although we have what it takes to be among the best controlling things of this life, and yet we settle to serve God. We We are not idiots. If the devil had handled some of us, would have destroyed things. But to God be the glory that we are here serving under his wings. And it is only a privilege. If you fail to make yourself available, thousands will rise in your place. Let me tell you something. I've come to announce to you, if God is knocking your door, respond. Once the knocking start getting faint, it's because somebody else is responding. You see, the whole thing you have been telling yourself that God has been calling me, I'm the one with him— very soon, eh, that statement you will not be able to say it again. No, don't say amen, because there will have been too many things that requires repair. As a result of turning your back on God. We are in the season that darkness is covering the earth, so there is no common bread, there's only halo bread. The message for the now is that soldiers should arise. And that's why I said I've not come here for you to receive miracles. If you will rise and step into the squad, the kings will attend to your needs. I've not come here to begin to prophesy I'm not saying that you'll have 10 jobs, but I'm saying respond to the one who is calling you. If you seek first the kingdom and his righteousness, all other things will come. So that we are not like the rich fool who is growing in leaps and bounds, but there is no God occupying his heart, and everything will be short because God is not there. He's calling us. Darkness is covering the earth. You can see it, and it has entered the church. As simple as what ministry is, we don't know it again. So it will amaze you the level of colonization of our mindset, how far the, the battle is no longer at the gate, is now in our rooms. There was a time that the battle was at the gate I make bold to tell you we don't have to step out for the battle again.
The Trojan horse has been brought in and it's time for us to beat our plows into spears.
Everyone that can speak must be taught the art of war.
Our children must be weaponized. Women must begin to prophesy. Old men must begin to dream dreams. The arms are limited. Are you here?
For you to receive jobs. There are those who don't call Jesus, who doesn't need him to receive it. I've come to tell you, get out of the bed of sickness that you have been fasting to and enter alignment with the one who calls you. Shake yourself off from the sleep of death, for the time is short. And let me tell you something, at the end of our life, when we stand face to face with Jesus.
And, and that's what people don't know.
What will count is not the money in your account, but what you sacrifice. You see, one time I saw, I saw a video was trending Nigeria, and they said this is a worship minister and say Apostle Lazarus is an idiot. This is how you want people to suffer. I said, that's a general you are looking at. There's no one who suffer for the sake of the kingdom.
We are concluding because we don't know there's an afterlife.
So we make mockery of people thinking he's preaching suffering, but no, that's the life we've been called to. What measures our accuracy is not cars. What measures our accuracy is not This is the same clothes I wore to preach at Atlanta. It's not about those things. There was a time in my life I had just one trouser. I am not better now than that time, except I know God more. It is not your increase in finance that makes you better. Are you following what I'm saying here? There is a clarion call you must respond to. And listen, you're already getting late. It's long overdue. For many of you, you have left the altar of intercession for your family. Your younger ones have been colonized. You don't even know the way they are thinking and the life they are— you can't sit and say, what's happening?
Pray! Take the bull by the horn. Intercede. Get to the place. Let the life you carry be transformed transform into light illuminating every dark corners of your world.
I have come to announce, beat your pruning forks into spears. The church of this time will not be measured by seating capacity but by sending capacity. Not just those who seated who don't know their left from their right. Who can we send?
I want to give the next 2 minutes.
See, let me tell you something. Rent your heart before God. How can I be your plan and yet powerless? If you have stopped receiving instruction, maybe you are not even enlisted in the squad yet. How can I be among what we call the end time army and yet I'm not receiving I'm just there dormant.
Speak, revive me, equip me, touch me with the touch of power. Wake me from the sleep of death. I don't expect some of you to be seated praying it. Wake me from the sleep of death, equip me, revive me, touch my heart, do something. I can't proceed like this? How can the one who is raised to set people free from prison be in the same prison? I'm tired of faking it.
I'm tired of looking anointed. Touch me. Touch me, touch me, touch me, touch me, touch me, touch me. See, pray the way it will be clear even in your destiny that you prayed today. Don't let this moment pass you by. Pray. Sake, eagles fly, it's in you, you're meant to fly. Lion roar, Eagles fly, it's in you.
You are meant to fly. Lions roar, eagles fly, it's in you. You are meant to fly.
Fly, eagles fly, eagles fly.
It's you, you are meant to fly.
Fly, eagles fly, eagles fly. Shake off the dust that has gathered on you for so long. Step out from 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. Igu, 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 see the breaking of the Down as the river from your belly flow. Amen. Thank you, Lord. Thank you. Come back to the consciousness of what your destiny is for. Everyone here who is hungry for God, that mantles will find the right owners. Lord, I know there are people you have— you call us after kinds. Now you have to help me. Help them. There are ancient mantles that are those after their kinds that you have called here. And at the sound of your word, let your power— and let there be connection of mantles to carriers. Let those for whom it is made come under the canopy of that grace.
That there is a new surge and a new manifestation of that which is embedded in the DNA of their destiny.
You come under it today. Let prophets who have not been able to speak begin to prophesy. Let those who are called called to offices and have not stepped in for a while, come!
For the Spirit and the bride says come. Let there be a surge of power and you come to the place of your divine allocation in God. Like the mantle left Elijah to Elisha, let it touch your head.
I declare today that you are endued with power from on high, and the Spirit of the Lord breaks out amongst you. Enter into that which the Lord allocated for you. Let there be equipping. Let there be empowerment. Let there be help. The days of dryness are over. Enter the grace required for the fulfillment of your destiny. Yes, that's the spirit of utterance is touching your tongue. Tongues with coals of fire. He's touching your tongues with coals of fire, bringing you into place. Send help! Let intercessors rise from amongst us, those who will be in the labor room of prayer, entering into— ushering us into what God has prepared. Let eyes of understanding be flooded with light. Let people see and enter their destiny in the name of Jesus. From amongst us, lightbearers, be help for Zion.
We give you praise, dear Lord.
Pray in the Holy Ghost, everyone, the next 1 minute.
Pray in the Holy Ghost.
Just soak it in, soak it Soak it in. This is an intro to what we are expecting in the night today. What we have here is a commencement of something that is not going to end even by this visit. We have heard from Apostle that this is not just a one-off thing, it's going to happen again and again. But by the time he's coming, he's going to meet you at another level. Because everybody here, we are rising as soldiers, extending the frontier of the kingdom wherever you are occupying. So in just 30 more seconds, can you soak it in? Because something is resting. Thank you, Father. In Jesus' mighty name we have prayed. Um, Apostle, we still want to have you like just 10 more minutes. Yes, sir. Thank you, sir. Can you please have your seat in God's presence? Um, as you are here this morning, just make it a point of duty to bring at least 2 people in the evening. I know a lot of people are at work now, people are on campuses, people are engaged with different things, but tonight, you see, now this is preparation for what is going to happen. Prepare. All the volunteer please wait after now. By the time this session is— wait, we have a very brief meeting, then we have a prayer for an hour before the commencement of evening meeting. All of us will be here together. It's not an online meeting. We are the instrumentalists. We invite all of you to be here. We may not livestream it, but it's going to be pure prayer, all right, before the evening session. There is already an instruction when there is activation you'll be able to go beyond corporate so that when you get to your space, you can ignite other people. So be part of us. We are going to start that, um, it will be communicated on the volunteers platform. Either we'll start at 4 to 5 or start at 5, then the evening meeting will now start at 6. So I think we should start at 5. Please, by 5 PM, be here. 5 to 6 is pure prayer, and I'd like you to be part of it. You will see what is going to happen in your own life in the name of Jesus. All right, um, this morning is for— is a special session like we have said. And the mentees in the North America, we are aware that some people are here who are not apostles, sons and daughters, all of that. We acknowledge and appreciate you and we want you to remain with us. So we are not trying to say that's who you are, so we we understand the peculiarity of this audience, but majorly this meeting is for the category that I've mentioned. And in the North America, we have decided to, you know, we, we can't— you can't pay any servant of the Lord, right? As a matter of fact, what we are giving right now is not monetary, but we just want to acknowledge and appreciate Apostle. You know, people have been praying long ago that please, when are you coming to America? That's what we want to do. I like to invite all the people where we have been on board. Sister Jibola, Lady Mo, please celebrate these people as I'm mentioning their names. These are laborers. When I say laborers, they are. Please come upstage. Um, Brian, where is he? Please come. Of course, Pastor Taiwo, you should be here also. Let's celebrate them as they are coming forward. Let's celebrate them. So I, I'm just going to give microphone to Sister Tony Grillo. If you are in the house, please come to the front. Just in one minute, each of them want to just say how much of impact Apostle has made on them, even though some of them have been fellowshipping online with him. Some of them have different places where they worship, and I know some people are meeting him now physically almost for the first time, and they want to tell you what has been even virtually. That's what we want to do, after which we are going to do the presentation. In no particular order, um, please take the microphone. Just in no particular order, let it go around. You are not doing that, we are doing the presentation together here. But the— yeah, why I'm saying that is we are with Apostle from home, so we are the we, you understand now. Thank you. Please, the floor is yours. Yes, yes, please go ahead with your testimony.
Um, my name is I have been a very huge follower of Apostle. I saw Apostle online sometimes, 2023, and there was a period where I was— it was a very low moment where I was losing it all. And it was as if Apostle knew me personally and he was just addressing my life. Every shot that I saw was as if it was a full a message that was speaking to my life at that time, and I had to go look up his name. Who is this person? I began to see things change. I pray a lot, but I don't look like what I have been through because of his messages. You wouldn't know how much of it. At some point, I was privileged to join the HO, the House of David. And I had the privilege to speak with Apostle once. And just that one contact changed everything. It gave me messages. It told me messages that would be so helpful. I knew I didn't have to even meet him again because those messages spoke directly to my situation. I have been so blessed by this ministry. It transformed my spiritual life. At the time I joined HOD, I remembered I was struggling with my prayer life because of everything I had been through in that moment. And I was struggling with fasting, I was struggling with everything. But when I joined HOD, I was able to go through the 5 days, 7 days fast as if I was not struggling with 12, breaking at 12. Because that time I would struggle to break at 12. Why? I fasted for days as if it was nothing. It was such a big grace. And this year, we started this year with 10 days. I went to 21 days without— for my— for the first time in my life, it was just— I just knew the grace would carry me. On the 10th day, I felt I was going to go, but I went 21 days. I felt as if I should continue for 40 days. I was like, this is such a grace that has been imparted to me. I— it's the prayer— my prayer life came back on fire. It was— thank you so much, Apostle. Thank you so much. Thank you. God bless you, sir.
And from that revival, she was the one that led our intercessory group, and we've been running 24-hour prayer for how many days now? Ceaselessly. People are praying as this meeting is ongoing, and she's leading that from the place of trying to pray to make other people We pray. Glory to God! The mic to the next person.
Good afternoon, everybody. Um, my name is Olayinka. Um, I would say I am meeting Apostle physically for the first time, and, um, I got to know about his teachings And the actual teaching I actually got to know was the teaching on dysfunctionality, which opened my eyes to a lot of things that I never knew was going on, that happened in my life. And there's something he used to say that the father or the daddy is the identity for his son. I saw him as a daddy. I found my identity in him, and that drew me close. And when I heard about his coming, I had to shut down everything I'm doing to be in place of service, to make sure everything ran well. Thank you, sir. Thank you, everyone.
Hallelujah. Thank you.
Good afternoon, everybody. My name is Jibola. Afolabi. So you forgive me, I wrote mine down because I didn't want to take too much time. So my journey with Light Nation and Apostle is the one I share with so many others I'm sure in this room. It's a story of divine alignment and transformation. Like many, I encountered this ministry at a time when I was searching for clarity, purpose, and a deeper walk with God. That encounter shifted the trajectory of my life in ways I can't fully describe. Through the teachings, the atmosphere of faith, and Apostle Femi Lazarus' leadership, I began to see myself the way God sees me. The vision for my life became clearer, and I started to understand not only what I'm called to do but also who I am in Christ. I came to truly believe that I am blessed, not just for myself but to be a blessing to others. That identity has become my lens for living, and I walk in purpose, understanding that we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works. LikeNation has given me direction, it has given me a family, He has given me fire and focus, and for that I will always be grateful.
Thank you, sir. Hallelujah! Let's celebrate Jesus! Yes! Praise the Lord!
My name is Delight Ebenezer, God's Delight City. I want to thank God for the life of Apostle Sir. I'm very grateful. I was like that woman that was judged with the one stone because of doing what is not supposed to be done. Jesus Christ said, "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone." So I found Apostle Sir being able to accept me. Like we all came in, the men of David, when they came to Cave of Adullam, battered, beaten, but when they came out, they became mighty men of David. That was how he started, um, House of David. Being able to pray, being able to fast, and being able to find a voice, audacity of faith, you know, where you could stand regardless of your background, where you are coming from, and you could stand and say who God has made you to be without fear in front of everyone. And you don't think that is just to a family. You're seeing yourself as a global entity to the world. So that's what the teachings, the training, the correction, the alignment from Light Nation and Apostle has done. Not just to my spiritual life, to every aspect. I used to say, "Money, papa, come." Praise the Lord!
Hallelujah!
All right, um, there may be other people, some of you are seated, you know, these are people we meet together. I know if we give microphone, everybody will have something to say, but to numerous souls that have been healed on my campus there I know people who will tell you that I've not heard somebody preach as though he's seeing me when I've not met him. Now we know there are other ministers, so we are not saying Apostle is the only minister, we recognize that. But there are people who have wandered all around, they never heard their own words, but they heard it this time around. And some people are now coming back back to their calling. Some now realize that there is still hope for them in God. To those countless number of people who we believe families will be liberated by their rising, the future generation will thank God that they came on the basis of being connected to this grace. That's the reason why we like to present this token. Can we bring the— it's just a, a very small something to appreciate God's servant Apostle. Please come upstage. And before Apostle will come up, I'd like us to rise to our feet. Um, I also bring on Kwokwe, his friend. You know, uh, all of us— me, I'm a son in the house, he is. So what we are going to do right now, I would just— please come up. Why are you people leaving us to eat? Meet. Yes, please come. These people, celebrate them, please. When I say celebrate them, I know what I'm saying. Apostle, sir, I must confess, I've shared different committees from my undergrad days. This is the best set of people I've ever worked with in my life. The best. I don't see them and they get things done. I met many of them for the first time in Atlanta. These people, I Amazing people. So it's quite heavy, but you will see the ejentic intelligentsia. Some of you know what I'm trying to say. It's a display of the ancient wisdom that is at work in his life. He has told us that God said to him Femi Lazarus, through one of the fathers in the body of Christ, that I have given you this to communicate what flows from the fathers. So tonight we are not coming just for a common meeting, we are coming to take a portion of an inheritance for the healing of nations, planting of revival in camp. So tonight's meeting is so strategic for destinies and for the nation. So don't miss it, people of God. But I, I don't like to say a lot, but even though I wish to just say what is in my mind, um, to present this, uh, this plaque to Apostle, we want to invite, uh, the most senior minister, but I don't know how to identify that now. Um, but in any case, as I'm led, I just want to call Pastor Showumi. Am I right? Please let's celebrate him. Um, so you help us to present this to Apostle while all of us will be here with you. We really celebrate you. We're so blessed to have you in this generation.
Thank you, sir.
So all the Light Nation pastors, planning member, please come upstage. Um, all the head of subgroups, please come. Different unit leaders, just come and take the photograph. Yes, then we should close up so that the picture can be— please, where is Lady Mo? Okay, I think she's in a meeting. All right, that's fine. Thank you so much, sir. Yes, yes.
All right, I think I just have to say a word. Um, I'm close to tears right now. Um, I, I just want to say I'm grateful. Um, it is a privilege to lead a set of some of the most vibrant people on earth. I genuinely appreciate all of you. You. I didn't see this coming. I just was coming to be a blessing. And I know that, you know, there's been loads of sacrifice that have gone on behind the scene. And in case people don't know, I didn't know anything about all these meetings. I was just told, you preach here so-and-so time, so-and-so day, then this place, then this place, then this place. All the flights booked, all the hotels booked, The Operations Book. From Atlanta to Mississippi, New Jersey, now in Houston, and by weekend we're in Lubbock, Texas. So I mean, I recognize all the labels. Thank you, thank you, thank you. And for the gift, my God, I don't know what— I'm grateful. May God bless you. Thank you.
Yes, sir. Thank you so much, sir. Hallelujah! So only the volunteers just wait for a brief meeting. As a family, can we just share the grace in unison? May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us now and forevermore. Amen. Surely goodness and mercies are following us. All the days of our lives, for we are the house of the Lord forever and ever. Amen. Shalom. See you by 5 PM tonight and bring other people. God bless you.
Apostle, we love you and there's nothing you can do about it. Thank you to our online audience, everyone who came, we thank you so much. If you can just give us a message and tell us how this word blessed you, what you took away from it. Amen. Victoria, Saintina, amen. You can also tell us where you're joining from. Tell us where you're joining from— Nigeria, Canada, the Philippines, Zimbabwe, Kenya. Just let us know, family. Glory to God. Nakunda says glory to God. To God be the glory. We thank God for the message. We thank God for the impartations. We thank God that we're not going to be the same. That we're going to walk in the presence and actual consciousness of who God has created us to be and walk in the power and fortify ourselves in the blood of Jesus and just keep going. We thank you, God. Thank you, God, for this session, and we pray that this is just an— this is just a foretaste of what's to come in the evening. So please come back in the evening at 5 PM US Houston time, Central time. Bring your friends, bring your family, come to be blessed. Please tell us where you're joining from. Tell us how this message has blessed you. Amen. Amen.
