LESS THAN A WEEK AFTER I HELD A PROGRAM IN MY VILLAGE, OCCULTIC ACTIVITIES WERE DISCOVERED AND STOPPED AND LIGHT BEGAN TO SHINE IN MY TOWN
GOD IS NOT RELOCATING (REPOSITIONING) YOU FOR FUN. IT IS SO YOU CAN DEAL WITH ALL FORCES OF DARKNESS.
THE devil IS A COWARD. WHEN YOU DECIDE YOU WILL DEAL WITH HIM, HE WILL RUN
GOD WANTS TO TURN THE HUNTED TO BECOME THE ONE WHO WILL BE HUNTING THOSE WHO ARE HUNTING THEM.
THE ALMIGHTY GOD WILL NOT JUST DELIVER YOU, HE CAN SET YOU FREE BY APPLYING THE LAW OF SUBSTITUTION
IF YOU ARE LIVING IN SIN YOU ARE OF THE devil AND GOD KNOWS THOSE WHO ARE HIS OWN
YOU CAN COVER YOUR SIN FROM MAN BUT NOT FROM THE ALMIGHTY GOD; HE IS THE ALL SEEING GOD
WHATEVER YOU ALLOW WILL BE ALLOWED; WHATEVER YOU REJECT, WILL BE REJECTED.
NO MATTER HOW GOOD, WELL INTENTIONED, OUR (NIGERIA) PRESIDENT MAY BE, THERE ARE FORCES OF DARKNESS BEYOND THE ABILITY OF ANY MAN (AT WORK IN OUR NATION)
EASY, LAZY KIND OF PRAYER CANNOT RESCUE A NATION FROM THE GRIP OF FORCES OF DARKNESS
TO GET ISRAEL OUT OF BONDAGE, SOME PEOPLE HAD TO DIE, DROWN AND BE UPROOTED
– Pastor E. A. Adeboye on “THE LORD OF HOSTS” || RCCG HOLY GHOST CONGRESS 2023 || Divine Repositioning || Day 4 Evening Service || 7th December, 2023 ||
My ministration tonight like on Tuesday is going to be in 2 sections – 2 short ones. The first one we want to speak to those who are candidates for deliverance but who are not really qualified for deliverance. Church Gist. We will talk to them for few minutes then we make an altar call and when that has been settled we will go to the second section. In the second section we will be doing some spiritual warfare. The Almighty God is going to arise today and when God arises, his enemies will be scattered.
Tonight I’m going to be talking on, “THE LORD OF HOSTS.” Psalm 24:7-10. The God we serve is not a civilian. Like I mentioned to those of you who were here yesterday, when we talk about the Military, the Military can be divided basically into 3 parts: the Air force, the Ground troops and the Navy. Church Gist. I have good news for you: God controls all the hosts whether in Heaven, on land and even when underneath the Earth. So if you have your destiny threatened, he can send an angel – one of the Host of Heaven to come and rescue you. Acts 12:1-11. I have good news for somebody here tonight that every plan of the enemy to cut short your destiny shall fail!
But God didn’t just stop there, he didn’t just deliver Peter from the one who wanted to terminate his destiny, God went ahead and terminated the terminator. Acts 12:20-24. Occasionally we pray some prayers that some people may consider violent but like I’ve shared with you before, when we first came to this Camp ground and we were surrounded by all manners of snakes anything I enter into the rooms of the boys or the girls and I found a snake, I don’t behave as a gentle dove. Church Gist. I get whatever is necessary to terminate the terminator. I am praying for somebody tonight that anyone who wants to terminate your destiny, before the Sun rises shall be terminated!
I still remember very clearly the story of a young man who was terminated in his place of work for no reason at all. Every report has been good but then they just terminated him. He came to the Holy Ghost Service and God spoke (just as God is speaking to someone tonight): there’s somebody very close to you, who is responsible for all your problems that the fellow is going to die and you are not to mourn. Church Gist. Apparently, the Father was the one who was involved. The Father who said, “ah, what’s happening? This boy is getting bigger than I.” He got involved. The following week, the Father died. In the place of work they wrote to this boy and said, we are sorry we made a mistake; come back and be promoted.
– I decree one more time, whatever God has to do to remove anyone or anything standing between you and your goal, shall be done tonight!
If you’re being troubled by the power of the Air, I want to give you an assurance that my Father is the Lord of Hosts, he controls everything in the Air. Joshua 10:1-11. The God I serve is the first one to throw bombs. Church Gist. Some of you remember the story of a lady who the Husband brought into the Church because the Husband suspected that she was responsible for all his problems. After a while we didn’t see the Lady coming to Church. When we followed up she told us that since she started coming to Church, she couldn’t fly again at night.
– I decree in the name that is above every other name, every force flying to meet things at night, to discuss things against your destiny will never fly again!
If you have problems with forces on Earth, if you have human beings working against your progress on the face of the land, remember what the Almighty God said in Isaiah 54:15-17. So it doesn’t matter whether it is a witch doctor, herbalist or whatever, it doesn’t even matter if it is a big boss in your place of work that is coming against you. Church Gist. As long as the Lord of Hosts lives, any weapon they have fashioned against you will not prosper and every attack of the enemy will go right back to sender. I can tell you stories but I want to be very brief.
Are you going through a storm? I have good news for you: the Lord of Hosts is also the One who is in control. He controls storms. Mark 4:35-41.
– in the name that is above every other name, whatever may be the storm you’re passing through, that storm will end tonight!
But when we talk about repositioning we are not just talking about deliverance from forces in the Air, on Land, forces by Sea. One of the fellows who prayed before me had already prayed that all kinds of marine spirits that may be working against you, from tonight they will never be able to function again. But the Almighty God can do much better than just deliver you; He can set you free by applying the Law of Substitution. Church Gist. Proverbs 11:8. If the Almighty God finds that the best way to set you free permanently is to replace the one who is trying to work against you by substituting that same fellow for you, He will do it. A good story is found in Daniel 6:1-28.
– I am praying for somebody here today, before the Sun rises, by the Law of Substitution, all those who have been tormenting your life will be gone!
That is why I had to preach this first section for you because there is a very important part for you to play. The Bible made it abundantly clear in 1 John 3:8, if you’re living in sin the Bible says you are of the devil. Another translation says, he who practices sin. It means the same thing. If you belong to the devil, it will be difficult, it won’t even be lawful to want to take you away from your owner. You know, many at times you’re praying for somebody who’s needs deliverance and the devil will be arguing, “how can you take this fellow away from me? Church Gist. He belongs to me.” That’s why you should not continue in sin because if you continue in sin the devil can claim ownership. He can say, you belong to me. When we ask the Almighty God to set you free, we may have a little bit of problems there. I’ve told you before that if a demon is blocking your way and we say, “In the name of Jesus, get out of the way,” he has to obey because in the name of Jesus every knee must bow. But if the one blocking your way is an angel of God sent to block your way because of you sinful ways, when we say, “get out of the way you spirit in the name of Jesus,” he will say, but it’s Jesus who asked me to stand here. We can move demons out of your way, we can’t move an angel.
I will tell you a story and then you make up your mind whether you want to remain a possession of the devil or you will rather come over to the side of God. Years ago, there is this great Chief somewhere in this State. …very wealthy and we had a common friend. This Chief became very sick and the common friend came to me and said, “please, come and pray for my friend so that God may heal him.” So I went and I saw the way he was. I asked him, “are you a child of God?” He said, oh yes I am. He even talked about how many Churches he has built. I prayed for him, nothing happened. Took my special prayer warriors, 2 of them then, I sent them to the place and told them to go and pray for him. Church Gist. You’re going to fast and pray, you’re not to eat anything there, even the water you’re going to drink you must take away from Lagos. They went, they fasted. For 7 days and 7 nights, nothing happened. So I made up my mind (that) I think God wants me to handle this case by myself. So I decided I will fast and pray for 21 days and 21 nights. Suddenly God spoke to me and said, “My Son, you want to fast? Fasting is good for you. But for this case, don’t waste your energy.” I said, why not Lord? God said, he’s not my child; he belongs to the devil. “Ah, I’ve asked him, he claims to be.” God said, “Alright, go and tell him the following.” God revealed a secret that nobody on Earth could know. But this man had a case over a piece of land and the owners, those people who could testify against him, were coming by Sea. So he got a man to go and torpedo their boat. So they all drowned. The man who torpedoed their boat came to the Chief, “I have finished the job.” The Chief said, very well, before I give you your money, come and have some food. He has poisoned the food. The man ate the food, got home and died. So the Chief thought, “secret absolutely covered!”
You can cover your sin from man, you can’t cover it from the Almighty God because he is the All seeing God. So I went to him and I told him what God said I should tell him. You know what he said? He said, don’t come here again…and of course he died. Church Gist. I don’t know your secrets but God knows. God knows those who are his own, there is no room for pretence here. If you’re not genuinely born again, if you claim to be born again and you’re still living in sin, I beg you tonight because part 2 is going to be a bit hot.
Salvation Call:
When we talk about, Divine Repositioning, what God has in mind is not just deliverance for the Captives even though that is part of it. But what God really has in mind during this Congress is to turn those who are being pursued to those who are now pursuing the pursuers. He wants to turn the hunted to become the one who will be hunting those who are hunting them. Church Gist. 1 Kings 19:1-8; 1 Kings 21:1-29 particularly verse 20. We are going to be doing some prayers tonight and I’m going to beg you that you pray this prayer with all your heart. You see, the Bible says clearly that whatever you bind on Earth will be bound in Heaven; whatever you loose on Earth will be loosed in Heaven. That means according to Bible scholars, whatever you allow will be allowed; whatever you refuse, reject, will be rejected. Some of us had watched as the devil had been doing whatever he wanted with our families. We look at some of these problems as if, “well, they’re not too big.” Church Gist. A child will always be a child, but little by little, evil grows. Little by little, problems come. But in the name that is above every other name, every satanic manifestation in our families will be ending tonight!
The Almighty God said in James 4:7 that once you surrender your life to Jesus, you submit to God, your next action is to resist the devil and he will flee from you. That tells you that the devil is a coward. When you decide you’re going to deal with the devil, he will run. Church Gist. We are going to run out the devil out of our families tonight. Matthew 15:21-28. We are going to pray and we are going to get victory tonight in all our families. It’s time to say, enough is enough. I tell you the story of a young man who came to us at the age of 39 and said in his family, every male child dies at the age of 40. He said he is the oldest male in the family and he was 39. He was about to enter into 40, that’s when something told him, “this problem must stop now.” He came, we prayed and more than 30 years later, he is still alive today. I am begging you not only because of yourself but because of your children and your grandchildren. Church Gist. You’re going to stand and pray like warriors now:
Prayers:
1. Father, every activity of the devil in my family must end tonight!
You’re going to pray for your home town. Acts 8. In your towns, villages, there are still forces of darkness behaving as if they are the owners of the Land. We have to put an end to their reign. Not long ago, we decided to hold a program in my little town and we call it, “Ifewara for Christ.” We went there, spent some days preaching the Gospel, shining the Light. Church Gist. Less than a week later, the Holy Spirit moved and a discovery was made on the outskirts of the Town. They found a place where some occultic people were killing people, dismembering them and the Police moved in and light began to shine in my town. Tonight, I beg you because God is not relocating you for fun. He is relocating you so you can deal with all these forces of darkness.
– Father, in the mighty name of Jesus, every force of darkness operating in my village, my town, I decree that they leave tonight!
A man of God (I’m sure he is present here tonight) came to us not too long ago and said, “Sir, every year in my village someone important must die. Church Gist. There’s a force there that just hates progress. You become successful, get ready for death.” We went there and commanded whatever demons may be responsible to move. I thank God that since then, there has been no death.
Corona Virus came and I cried to the Almighty God. I prayed for the whole Nation but I prayed specially for my village. I have good news: not a single one died in my village. Church Gist. One day we drove through my village and my driver was pointing out to me one thing. He said, “Sir, nobody is wearing mask here.” I told him there’s no need, we have settled their case from the Camp.
– Father, every agent of the devil in my village, my town, I clear them tonight!
You have to pray for your nation: you know, there is a saying that all it takes for evil to prosper is for those who know good and will not do it. It’s not going to take easy, lazy kind of prayer to rescue a nation from the grip of forces of darkness. Church Gist. It took force and I mean Spiritual force to bring Israel out of Egypt. If all is well with your nation (those of you who are here), no sickness, no problems, no famine, no hardship, then, please just join me in praying for my own nation. We are going to cry to God that all these sufferings must end. It takes more than any man, no matter how well intentioned to solve the problems of a nation. No matter how good our president may be, no matter how well intentioned, there are forces of darkness beyond the ability of any man. It took only 4 years to build the Express way – including the long bridge over marshy ground. It took more than 7 years to repair. It took a while before it occurred to me, “hey wait a minute, this is not an ordinary situation. There are certain forces that realized that if traffic is flowing freely here, then people will be able to come to programs here. Church Gist. That’s when I took the matter to the Lord in prayer. I thank God he answered my prayers. To get Israel out of bondage, some people had to die, some had to drown, some had to be uprooted. Stand on your feet!
– In the mighty name of Jesus, whatever you have to do to rescue my Nation, from the grips of forces of darkness, do it tonight Lord!
When God says he is repositioning you, it is so that you can help your neighbour to be free. Mark 16:17-18. If your neighbour is free, no problem, God will make him stronger in the Lord. Church Gist. But if there is anything that is satanic left in the life of your neighbour, that thing has to go now!
– Father, in the life of your child that I’m holding, anything that is of satanic origin, flush it out tonight!
This time you’re going to confront the devil. Church Gist. The Bible says if you resist him, he will flee.
– Father in the mighty name of Jesus, satan I command you, take your dirty hands off me!
