Man speaks about Apostle Femi Lazarus' mission
Opeyemi compared Lazarus to builders, who, he explained, go wherever work needs to be done.
Going down memory lane, Opeyemi informed the public that Lazarus had left Ife for Ibadan to build from scratch and moved to Abuja to do the same when Ibadan became established.
Explaining further, Opeyemi stressed that the preacher's move to Kenya is not to seek greener pastures, as he sees possibilities where others find inconvenient.
He noted that Lazarus could have chosen to relocate to the US or Canada if relocation were his goal or aim.
His Facebook statement read in full:
"He will probably screw me for going this far back into the archives but sometimes you have to revisit history to properly set the records straight.
"One thing about builders is this: they go where there is work to be done.
"Apostle Femi Lazarus left Ife and moved to Ibadan to build from scratch.
"When Ibadan became established and thriving, he left again for Abuja to build from scratch.
"Now again, he has moved to Kenya, not because it is “greener pasture,” but because builders see possibilities where others see inconvenience.
"The funny thing is, this is someone who could have relocated to the US or Canada long ago if that was the goal.
"Some people move for comfort.
"Some move for assignment.
"There’s a difference.
"Most people only celebrate structures after they stand. Few people understand the sacrifices, uncertainty, and obedience it took to build them.
"Builders carry blueprints in their spirit. Wherever they go, something rises."

Apostle Femi Lazarus criticised over comments
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that Apostle Femi Lazarus had faced backlash over his comments on the invasion threat by President Donald Trump.
In a now-viral video, the pastor alleged that America’s interest in Nigeria is not humanitarian but a strategic move to divide the nation for its own gain. But many Nigerians were not buying it.
Speaking during a church gathering, Apostle Lazarus insisted that foreign interventions are rarely sincere. He pointed to past events during the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan.
