In this YouTube sermon, Femi Lazarus (or a speaker representing his teachings) delivers a Sunday service that critiques drama‑centric worship practices such as excessive dancing, exorcisms, and spectacle. The speaker argues that true dominion and spiritual freedom come not from theatrical displays but from hearing and obeying the Word of God. Using the biblical story of the Pool of Bethesda, the sermon explores the culture of testimony, the counter‑cultural nature of Jesus’ message, and the danger of equating power with performance. Throughout, the speaker references the Femi Lazarus Digital Library app, encouraging viewers to access the library for deeper study. The overall message is that believers can experience freedom and authority when they focus on the spoken Word rather than on dramatic displays.
This is a Sunday service and all of you have got like this, and this is a very demon-possessed person, and I start dancing.
I have to start dancing.
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Everybody say, that man get power! I told you there are two concepts of church.
Number one is the better Bethesda strategy. You know the Bethesda strategy? My guys, come. Just the guys, can you act drama? Where's Femi Lazarus? Come, give me something. Pool of Bethesda, give me something. Give me something. You are the Pool of Bethesda. You are the worst guy. Do your face like an imbecile. Yeah. So every once in a while, as the pool— I want more guys to be joining— as the pool— so once in a while there's going to be some more guys. Come, come, there's going to be a stirring. I want many guys, just keep coming. There's a stirring, and once in a while, you get up now, he jumps inside the pool and is healed. But to one that is healed, there's 100 replaced. But what keeps this whole economy going is testimony time. Testimony of one person who didn't think, but an angel brought money to the bedroom. He doesn't know anything, doesn't have any business idea, doesn't have any strategy, doesn't know anything, but somehow one helper just brought something. So one testimony that is shared endorses thousands others to continue living that life of irresponsibility. It's the reason we are where we are. When Jesus came, it was, it was countercultural because some people have built their own economy around the fact that Bethesda is working, works once in a while. And then he came, someone that could have paid certain amount for someone to come inside the pool, he said, pick your bed and go. He came to introduce us to something that you don't need drama to work in dominion. As long as you can hear the word, you can be free. Anyone who can hear him can break me. You may think there's lack here, but this lack is going to give me limousine. Because what I'm going to deal with is not what you have as cash, is the plenty number of you. Then in fact, I don't need anything from you, but your number makes certain big people believe I'm a man of God. Ah, sorry, let me tell you something. Once there is ignorance, it's a lucrative empire. Get the full message on Femi Lazarus Digital Library app today.
