The 9 minute video appears to have been posted on Sunday.
"First, insults against the prophet, evil plots against him, making blasphemous movies against him, all these will do no harm to Islam," Abubakar Shekau says.
Anybody plotting this will surely pay for it. Everybody knows what this statement entails. Everybody should wait and see what we will do regarding this," he adds in the Hausa language spoken in Nigeria's mainly Muslim north.
Shekau also threatens Nigerian authorities, saying he is prepared to die and denies government assertions that there has been dialogue with his group.
He also claims the purported spokesman for Boko Haram, who goes by the alias Abul Qaqa, is still alive despite claims from Nigeria's military that he was killed by security forces some two weeks ago.
"We have never sat down with anyone in the name of dialogue ... Our people are being killed and humiliated, while on the other hand people are being deceived with the issue of dialogue," he says.
"By God, there is nothing like dialogue. They are only killing us. We will never abandon our faith because of that." In a message directed at Nigerian secret police officers, he says he will "slit your throat."
"I'm alive, well and hearty. Nothing has happened to me," he says. "I'm even longing for death, you vagabond."
