THE LIFTER OF MEN || PROPHETIC PRAYER CONTACT || 20TH AUGUST 2024

The Bible says in the book of Psalms chapter number 114, That scripture means so much to me because it reveals that the one who is leading us is strong to confront our situations. Says, when Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob, from a people of strange language, Judah was his sanctuary. And Israel his dominion. The sea saw it and fled, Jordan was driven back, the mountains skipped like rams and the little hills like lambs. What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleetest, thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back? Ye looty hills like lambs, tremble thou at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob, which turns the rock into a standing water, the flint into fountains of waters. Psalms chapter number 80 from verse 1. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock. Thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth. Before Ephraim, and Benjamin, and Manasseh, stir up thy strength, and come and save us. Turn us again, O God, and cause your face to shine, and we shall be saved. I remember sitting years back, the pinnacle of the Anglican Church in Elefe, and just sing and just, you know, worship, and God will speak of things that will happen in the future. The things he's going to do, we are beginning to see some of them, and yet it is still to come. Many more is still yet to come. And it's so amazing that we serve a God who stands by his word.

Hallelujah!

The one who sees through us when there was nothing that is comely in us. And that's why we've come to give you worship, God. We give you all the praise from the depth of our heart. We're in awe of your glory and your blessing.

We give you praise.

We return all glory to We return all adoration to you. In Jesus' mighty name we're praying. There's somebody who is connected online this morning who is about to be arrested this week. You, you did a business that landed you in trouble and you were arrested, and now you are convinced that if you do it this time around, it will work. I brought you the word of the Lord. It won't work. They will arrest you and they will refuse bail, and they will charge you to court and then forget you there for a while. No, it's warning. You don't have to like what I've said so that you will not be watching PPC from—

stop now.

You, you heard me, you know. Let's pretend like the person is not here. You heard me, I, I just saw you with Ankov and they were leading you. You like this and shotnikah like school student. Be careful, be very careful, be very careful. Are you here? All right, let's lift our voice again and give Jesus praise and thank him. Let's honor him, let's give him all the glory that is due to his holy name. Let's bless him. Let's bless him. Let's honor him.

Let's honor him.

In Jesus' name we pray. I want you to raise that sound again, that worship you raised this morning with Moses Ako. All right, let's raise it again. Just everybody, wherever you are, let's get up on our feet and just wave our hands and magnify. Just the audio. Wave our hands. Maybe you want to interface, blow in, blow out. All right, raise your hands, everyone. Worship must be done with reverence. Worship must be done with reverence. Worship must be done with reverence. It must be done with honor.

Thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh. Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, we're in awe of you and your presence. Oh yes, I want us to worship God, waiting for them to raise up.

What's the holdup? Oh, thank you, Lord.

And we thank you. Blessed be your holy name. Blessed be your holy name. Oh, we thank you, Lord. We thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Lord. We are grateful. Eh, is there anyone here who is grateful? We are grateful. We return all the thanks to you and all praise to you. In Jesus' mighty name we Are you praying? In case that person did not hear me when the word came the other time, you did a business that landed you in trouble a while back. You were arrested, you came out, mercy spoke for you. Now you want to go back again, and you know that you're about to take a very big risk. I saw you being arrested again, and this time around connection didn't work, bail didn't work. I saw you being charged to court and forgotten there for a while. When the Lord brings warning, pay attention to it. Pay attention to it. Pay attention to it. Now I want to show you a scripture. The book of Isaiah, chapter number 59, from verse 1. Isaiah chapter number 59, from verse 1. Isaiah 59, from verse 1. Now look at what the Bible says in Isaiah 59:1. Says, behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened that it cannot save. Neither is his ear heavy that cannot what?

Hear.

You know what? You know, we are looking at the lifter of men. He said, but your iniquities have separated between you and God, and your God, and your sins has hid his face from you. So your hands are defiled with blood and your fingers with iniquity. Your lips have spoken lies, your tongues has muttered perverseness. Now, this is a very, very serious one. Now, there are many— there are some instances that are shown to us in the Bible as touching the reason why God can resist a man. One of the instance given is the instance of pride, but another one is that the hand of God can look like he cannot save because a man's iniquity is hiding him from God. Now let me say this to you: prayer and seeking the face of God cannot be one of the options. What did I say? Cannot be one of the options. How can you be the believer who wake up for morning prayer, PPC, you will do NSPPD, but you have 3-factor authentication You know what that means? You will still lick something and speak into the air. You, you do some nasty incantations and you are servicing the three correctly, or the two now, and you still go and— ah man, it is not solution at all cost. It is knowing the God you are looking for. I feel I'm saying here now, it will interest to know the number of believers who don't mind charms if need be. They actually don't really mind if need be. They have a backup plan that if this thing gets to where it gets to, I know what I can do. Are there no girls Now it's not just girls, even boys who say, God, I need this finance. If you can't give me, I have a sugar daddy somewhere.

And they will still scream in the morning, oh Lord, somebody can even be joining the morning devotion from sugar daddy's house.

My God.

You have learned to service the boat correctly.

My God, my God.

I know some of you believe that what Apostle is saying this morning can happen, but there's somebody who is hearing me now and is where the fellow should not be and will dust the clothes and move on like no man's business. And you wonder the reason why you remain small for long.

God had to tell Abraham, he said, I am the Lord God of all flesh. Walk before me and be thou perfect.

It is not solution at all cost.

Are you following what I'm saying here? Now many of you don't believe what Apostle is saying this morning.

Ah, it's not that bad. It's not possible.

Sir, I have seen somebody smoke igbo before he can lead worship.

Is you who have pastored in Lekki and BGC? We have pastored in strange places.

He will, he will, then he goes there, lift up your holy hands everyone, this place, and we receive, we give God the glory, and he will raise the sound everywhere, we shake and vibrate, and the drummer will give feet at the keyboard.

Many things are happening inside life.

Many things.

Many things.

So many people wonder the reason why they pray and they say, we have done all we should do, but God doesn't answer.

Are you sure? Are you sure you are seeking God with singleness of mind, or you are the one who is hindering your own blessings? Are you sure you are seeking God with singleness of heart, or you are the one who is hindering your blessing? Somebody is sick, you have the Bible beside the person, one red thing they tie under the person.

Beside the person. Two-factor authentication, it doesn't work. Now God began to place this burden on my heart as I prayed this morning. Said, tell my people that they walk before me and be perfect. Somebody say, I'm trusting God for this.

Walk before God and be Perfect. Are you here?

You don't miss PPC, you don't miss all the morning prayers, but you are the one who will not give girls job until you sleep with them. They're not going anywhere. God is not a wicked God. Is that okay now? Now this morning is the morning of repentance. You're going to pray very, very important prayer.

Prayers.

Father, anything I've gotten myself into that is hindering your glory from manifesting in my life, that is hindering the answers to my prayer, have mercy and repent this morning. Have mercy, have mercy. Lift your voice and pray. Lift your voice and pray. Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy. Lift your voice and pray. Have mercy.

There's anything I'm doing that is hindering answers to my own prayer, have mercy on me.

Have mercy. Have mercy. Have mercy.

Have mercy.

Have mercy. Have mercy.

Have mercy.

Please pray.

Let your heart be single. Fix your gaze is completely on Jesus or not at all.

Have mercy, have mercy, in the name of Jesus, have mercy, have mercy, Lord. Help me to walk before you with singleness of heart. Help me to walk before you with integrity of heart. I don't want to hinder my own lifting and my own blessing. Help me, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me. Help me, help me, help me, help me, help me. Please pray, please pray, please pray. In Jesus' mighty name we're praying. Now look up, everyone. There are dimensions of God you will not see until your mind is made up on certain things.

As long as Abraham had the energy to sleep with Hagar, Isaac can come. Isaac can come. But when Abraham was 99, that is at the end of him, of his strength, then the Lord came and said, I'm the Lord God of all flesh.

All before me, I'm perfect.

Now, there are people who might be praying every day. You see, I'm trying to help you tighten the loose ends. There you might be praying every day, but they are still full of energy to have alternatives other than God. And guess what? The God who is not in time can wait.

You are the one who is in time. It's a thousand years like a day, so to calculate what 5 minutes will be Just 5 minutes ago, she's been waiting. She's going to be 72 tomorrow. He said, walk before me and be what? Many Christians don't struggle with prayer, but they still use their hands to destroy what they pray for. Somebody is trusting God for the fruit of the womb.

You will cry, you will drink Holy Communion, you drink holy water.

You drink perfume, you drink everything, but you are the one that will still maltreat your house help and curse the girl like God didn't create her.

And then you, you—

so we have self-sabotage, self-sabotage.

You are the one who is praying that God will help you and all that, but everyone who is working under you, they are groaning, they struggle, you won't pay. And you are an elder in church. They are confused. They are confused. The same people you are waking for devotion are the ones helping you to arrange babes. They are confused, sir.

This and many more are the reality of many who say they are praying, and that's why we can't see God in his fullness. You have to repent.

You have— choose ye this day whom you serve.

Choose ye this day whom you serve. I have noticed that people don't have issue with serving God, they just want to carry their idols. They have no issue with serving God, just want to carry the idols. That I will serve him, but let me carry my, my, my idol on this side. And these are many more of the problems. So it looked like God can't save, it looked like God can't rescue.

Rescue.

But many are not even looking for the rescue in the first place. Many men are struggling, sir, because they maltreat their wives, and they are the ones—

go and apologize first.

Go and apologize first.

And many women too.

Now you saw people who were saying that stop talking to women, talk to men. Stop talking to women, talk to men.

Where the decadence is coming from now is from that gender. They speak about vulgar, terrible things online. It's just starting.

We don't know what's coming.

And these are issues. A woman who will never honor the husband, never. Refused to make dinner yesterday night, but this morning, hop and grateful.

Yeah.

Go and repair your home first.

It doesn't work that way.

Go and build your home. You are making Christianity irritating for that man. You are making others struggle to serve God. Repair your home. Don't, don't delete.

No, my friend, don't close this, this PPC. What do you mean? You say I can't hear Apostle? Well, you can hear me. Don't, don't close it.

Don't close it.

Are you here?

The student who is in school who collect money for Geo and Graffi separately is here. Apostle for the last days, go and check.

Go and check. The Bible says that if our ways please God, it will make even our enemies to be at peace.

With us. Praise God.

Hallelujah. Now this is one prayer. You help me to do what is right.

Break me in a way in the places I need to be broken. Help me to do what is right. Help me to do what is right. It is not by shouting every morning. You can shout and still use your hands to destroy what you are praying about.

Pray, pray now.

Pray now.

Pray now.

Pray now. Are you here? Lift your voice and pray. Help me to do what is right. Help me to do what is right.

Help me to do what is right. Lift your voice and pray. Help me to do what is right. Help me to do what is right. Help me to do what is right. Help me to do what is right. Help me to do what is right. In Jesus' mighty name we pray. Now there are some of you this morning who need to go and apologize first. Apologize to your husband, apologize to your wife, apologize to your boss or to your employee.

You need to apologize.

I still don't get it many times, and it's not just in Africa, it's around the world. And sometimes we don't have issues with it, doing the routines and shouting the shout and raising the alarms and everything. Now somebody, a man somewhere is having issue with the daughter that you are going to a church that they are wearing trouser, but the same man too is having extramarital affair. Which one is heavier?

Which, no, which one? You see, we, we don't struggle with religion. What we struggle with is uprightness. What We don't, we don't have to do religion. Say, look at your church. I saw you, you were big earring, that your church. But this man too. Are you here?

Yes, sir.

And that's the issue.

That's the issue. So many times we pray and we pray, but we still have our idols. We still have our idols. God, you know, one time we're on campus. I just finished ministering in a powerful crusade, and a girl came to meet me and said, I want to thank you, Pastor, because you have blessed me today. So I was among those who gave their life to Christ. I said, wow, God bless you so much. And then she said that school fees payment expires in 3 days' time. Tell your God to provide, because if he doesn't provide, I know what I can do in 1 day. So now that's a baby talking. The way— see, when Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego stood before Nebuchadnezzar, they said, oh Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer you in this manner. The God that we serve is able to deliver us from you you and your fairy furnace. But if he does not, we still will not what?

Bow.

Very interesting word. That is, I'm ready to die doing the right things than to succeed doing the wrong things. Are you here?

We must do what is right. Hear, O Israel, the Lord your God is one God. Hear, O Israel, the Lord your God is one God. It's not enough to wake up and shout and pray. Do what is right. Do what is right. Do what is right.

Now everyone get up this morning because we're going to pray. What are the areas that you yourself now. You have permitted the enemy to afflict you because of, um, you have permitted them to afflict you because of your ignorance, because of your negligence, because of your carelessness.

Lift your voice.

Number 1, ask God to help you do what is right. It is not every time give me, give me. Sometimes it is like God is pouring water in a basket. What are you not getting right? What have you stopped doing?

Ask God to help you. Ask God to help you to do what is right. Ask God to help you to do what is right. Ask God to help you to do what is right.

Ask God to help you to do what is right. Let him open your eyes of understanding so that if you are missing in any area, you, you will see it by yourself.

You will see it by yourself. In Jesus' mighty name we are praying. Now let me give you a very important instruction. Many people have not come to know Christ because of many people who are praying, and I'll tell you why. Their voices is the loudest in the morning.

Oh God, you are the one that wear banner, or what's it called now, apron, that carry advertisement of the church. You are the one who wear earring, but you are still the same one Who want to kill somebody over a bucket? My God, you stay in a compound, you are not greeting 80% of the people, and you have found a way to fit it.

Good money, you are an hindrance to the gospel. All those things need to die. It's not by shouting. Are you following what I'm saying?

I said it's not by shouting. I feel I'm saying now somebody somewhere just said I need to increase the volume so that my neighbor can hear what Apostle is saying. You are still wrong. I heard you. You are still wrong. You are still wrong. You here say let me increase the volume, my neighbor needs to hear.

No, you, you, you here, you want to put it close to the window. You here, you here.

Are you here?

If we serve God, we serve him thoroughly. Praise God. Now let me say this to you.

You are at loggerheads with neighbor, you are fighting everywhere, at place of work you are fighting everywhere. You now believe nobody likes you.

No, it's your character that is smelling.

You know, when an ego enters a place, the smell announces it.

It.

Character announces people. Yeah, nobody likes me, I'm going to change the church everywhere. But that was how you said in last place too, and the place before that one. But you don't used to tell yourself the truth. And God is giving you the opportunity to change now before it is too late. Change. Are you following what I'm saying here?

Change.

Change.

Many times it's not because God's hand is too short to save us, but we are getting into self-sabotage. We build with one hand and destroy with another hand. Somebody is sick now and having high blood pressure because 90% of times in your marriage is shout.

90% of times. You will nag over everything. You, you, you, you, when you talk, you vibrate. You, you will just die. You will just die. Calm down. Look at what he's doing. Look at what she's doing. If you die now, people cry.

That's if they cry. And then say I don't really have appetite, I'm pained, this is— then small, small, they are taking pap the following morning. Then they will take pap in front of people, then go and sneak and eat amala. Before you know it, everybody has moved on.

You are the one who wants to kill yourself. Look, look at what I found on the floor! Look at, look at this thing!

Calm down.

Sometimes you are right. But on top of your voice, you are wrong.

Calm down.

Don't die when you can live.

Yes, sir.

Don't die when you can live. You saw all those things too when they say you should not marry the person, but you say God is love. Apologies, that's not me being insensitive. Are you following what I'm saying? Many times we pray and the release comes from heaven, but we destroy with our own hands. Everybody who should help you, you have blocked them because once that you ask them for money they didn't have, you block them. My God, you block everyone that God should— because once that they didn't have, you block them, block them once that they didn't have. You went to go and tell your helper, you offended me because last week— no, sir, wrong, wrong. There's something called maturity. I think I'm saying it. When you pray, there must be character quotient that backs it up. I feel I'm saying it now. Everyone, if you say okay, everyone that God has used to help you, just celebrate them this morning. Some of you can't because the last message you sent to them is you— every time you are saying it's been long, I reach out to you, it's billing, it's billing.

Now I don't even like shaking people because it's debit, debit, debit, credit.

So it's a bit worrisome.

It can't be that every time you have contact with people, it's billing.

So yeah, I don't really care about those things. Billing is billing. Praise God. I said praise God. Somebody say, now is this TPPC I'm watching? Is PPC you are watching? It is PPC.

You are—

stop the two-factor authentication and put all your eggs in one basket.

Hear, O Israel, the Lord your God is what? One God.

Follow peace with all men and holiness.

Yes, without which no man will what?

See God.

God is doing something for your neighbor. God is in neighborhood. If you will not become envious and grieved because of what God is doing, yours will begin to happen. Are you following what I'm saying here? Now put your two hands on your head and say, my head will be correct. I will do what is right from now on.

I will not destroy what I'm praying for. Now pray that prayer loud enough.

I will not destroy what I'm praying for! I will not destroy what I am praying for! I would not use my own hands to destroy what I am praying for! I will not use my own hand so that— Destroying whatever you pray for? Amen. Now hear this: beware of anger. I just saw a woman beat the child and the child hit the head on the wall and passed out.

Beware.

Some parents, when they want to beat their children, they will say, yeah, pass. If she gives the child choke slam from the neck— you know choke slam, Undertaker— if you catch the neck like that and you say you are waking that child for devotion, doesn't like to serve your God, that child is wondering, is it that God you are praying to that is inspiring you to be this wicked? Repent.

Praise God.

Now let me say this to you. This morning you will take visible steps. You are praying every morning, but you are destroying your own home. Repent, apologize.

If you use the energy for, for prayer to go and do what?

Apologize.

You are praying, you are the one who's saying, Lord, help me, Lord, help me, and every morning you wake up, you are waking up to do PPC, to do NSPPD, which other prayer platform again?

Again, huh?

Triumphant prayer, victorious church prayer, um, lifted people prayer.

Every time you— even, even your sugar daddies are wondering, how are you doing it? You will leave boyfriend's house where you have messed up yourself and say, today is our Bible study, we've got to go.

And you, you finish Bible study, after you say, you are, you are still going back there tonight.

Nothing changes your mind.

You have learned to build compatibility with nonsense.

Repent, because you are hindering your own prayers. It's not by shouting, no, it's by being right with God. Repent now.

Praise God.

Are you following what I'm saying here? Repent is by being right with God. When Abraham Moses was 99 years, the Lord appeared to him and said, I'm the Lord God of all flesh, walk before me and be perfect. God, don't wait till God wait for you to come to the end of your strength.

Don't, don't, don't.

Are you still here?

I said do what?

Don't, don't.

So a guy is here this morning, you are saying, God, please bless me future partner this year, but you have 9 you are managing.

You have—

you didn't do project management, no, you are just— you is follow come gift.

Then you are looking for the one that you will marry amongst them, and you do it so well.

There are many Christians that I would date 4 of you in the same church, you will never meet. You will never meet. You'll be managed remotely. Some is remote, the other one is— what's his name for in between now? Hybrid relationship. We do this nonsense and unbelievers are worried. They struggle to serve your God, but you shout every morning. You shout every morning.

Sometimes even pastors be careful what you are—

people, when I say that there's a favor coming my way this week, please help me agree that it will come to pass. Meanwhile, a sugar daddy has said, if you come to my house, I'm going to give you that money.

That's the favor. You as a pastor, that's it. Now, in the name of Jesus, receive. You are vibrating.

Ask questions. Ask questions. A girl went to see a pastor one time and said that there's somebody God has made in my heart, please let me pray that God will open his eyes. The pastor prayed and prayed and prayed. They asked the sister, please give me his name. She gave the pastor the pastor's name. After you have shouted, who say you should not ask question?

Praise God.

Hallelujah. I said praise God. Now this is God helping us repair our altars this morning so that our prayer is not profaned. Are you here? We don't have issues with prayer most times in Africa, but we still destroy it with our own hands. Let the one who is living in sin go and repent. The one who is abusing people's children up and down, go and change. The one who is victimizing people with his position, go and go and repent. The wife who is insubordinate to the husband, go and change.

The husband who is cheating on the wife, go and repent.

The pastor who is victimizing members, go and change now before it is too late. It's not enough to shout. He said that my hands are not too heavy that they can't save you, but your iniquity have separated between us. From today, in the name of Jesus, you will do what is right.

Amen. Amen.

I didn't hear amen to that.

Amen.

Receive the boldness to leave everything that is wrong that you have taken as source of livelihood. Receive the audacity to leave it now in the name of Jesus, that you will no longer bring shame to the name of God. People will not hate Jesus because of you. People will not hate to serve him because of you. People will not hate prayer because of you. In the name of Jesus Christ, you will live this life in dignity and in honor. Everything about you will bring God's glory. You will not bring shame to the name of the Lord.

In the name of Jesus, if there's any area the devil is afflicting you, we cancel it this morning. And I decree be free in the name of Jesus.

For that person who is asking, it's not like I can't stop this, but if I stop, how will I feed? Get a job. There are sufferings you suffer for a while when you carry your cross and follow Jesus. You must be ready to suffer it.

Yes, you can suffer hunger. Yes, you may suffer lack, but you must Carry your cross and follow him. It is not bread and butter. It is not bread and butter when you choose to follow Jesus and say no to certain things. Oh, there are sufferings that comes with it.

I must tell you, carrying your cross is not Gucci cross, huh?

And the thorn is not Louis Vuitton.

No, it's not. You carry it and follow him. See, this brand of Christianity that just want it sweet and rosy, I tell you, it doesn't exist. There are things that will be painful, that you say they will be sweet, but you say no to because you have chosen to follow Jesus.

Praise God!

Somebody is hearing this morning and is saved. I didn't hear amen.

To that.

Somebody is hearing this morning and is saved. Somebody is hearing this morning and is saved. Now again, let me sound the warning. Hear, O Israel, the Lord your God is one God. You can't combine Jesus with what Afar has given you and what you are receiving. This— somebody is here in the city praying in their churches and still sponsoring masquerade festival in the village, still sponsoring all those things. Now, many pastors don't even know that if you gather the members to ask questions, you'll be shocked at the answers you will get, that many don't even know the basics.

And you can be in church for 20 years and even become an elder, but you are still a chief priest. And there's more.

Now you may laugh at the things I'm saying, but they are painful stuff because we have many unconverted converts. Simon the Sorcerer wants the power but wants the sorcery. No, you must choose one.

Must choose one.

Are there no people in churches who are Christians and even elders who are also witches? I don't believe in all those people are afraid of witches. If you're aware, please God, you dismantle their nest. Are you with me?

Yes, sir.

It's not by shouting. Don't destroy your home when you are shouting. Do what is right. Now I ask for the spirit of wisdom this morning, that as you will repair the broken altars, all the things that stopped working will work.

Amen.

The one who is sick, be healed in the name of Jesus. The one who is sick, be healed.

There's a woman who is arguing.

You are arguing that the soap they gave you to use that after all, you are not the one who went there to know what they put inside. Well, you know where you got that soap from. You are arguing, and that's why God brought your case. Go and throw it away and serve Jesus. If it is him you serve, serve Jesus. That somebody's eyes of understanding is enlightened this morning. You will do what is right, and because of that, the road that is blocked becomes opened. Grace upon grace. Strength upon strength, wisdom upon wisdom, in Jesus' mighty name. Amen.

Praise God.

Many have asked, how do I give my life to Christ? I want to make it very, very simple. And introduce you today to the person of Jesus. Paul speaking in 1 Corinthians chapter number 15 from verse 1 said, I deliver unto you the gospel that you have received and also believed and wherein you stand. How that Christ came and died for our sins according to scriptures, and he was buried according to scriptures, and he rose on the third day according to the scriptures. When he died, he died for our sins sins. When he was buried, he was buried, and the Bible said he went into the lower part of the earth and set the captives free. And when he rose on the third day, he rose for our justification. And now we are seated with Christ far above principalities and powers. It is believing in his sacrificial works and his resurrection that gets us saved. So you believe in your heart unto righteousness. And you confess Jesus as your Lord and Savior unto salvation. The moment you do this, whether you feel it or not, according to scriptures, you have been saved. So today, if you are giving your life to Christ today and you want to give your life to Jesus and accept him as your Lord, I'd like to lead you to Christ. And that is exactly why I'm here this morning. You want to say these words after me. Lord Jesus, I believe that you came into this world to die for my sins. Lord Jesus, I believe that you died for my sins. I also believe that you arose on the third day for my justification. Today I confess you as my Lord and my Savior, and I accept this gift of eternal life. In Jesus' name. Amen. Now, if you have said that prayer, I can tell you for surely that there is so much joy in heaven right now. There's so, so much joy. You have made the right step, and I want to encourage you. There is a barcode on the screen. I'd like for you to scan that barcode so that you can be drafted to my discipleship platform where you can be trained in the rudiments of scriptures. And you can be groomed so you can grow in the power of the salvation that you have received this morning. And I want to advise you that you keep watching Ambience TV. You can follow us on YouTube. Kindly go on your YouTube and search for Ambience TV. You can also get Ambience TV that you're watching right now, and you can also search for Femi Lazarus on YouTube and keep following very edifying content that will help you grow in Christ. I look forward to seeing you again.

God bless you.

Thank you.
