PEOPLE WHO GOT DELIVERANCE GOT IT BY WORSHIPPING GOD FIRST
- Pastor E. A. Adeboye on “THE LAND OF ENDLESS DAYS” || RCCG 72nd Holy Ghost Convention 2024 || Day 4 Evening Service || 8th August 2024.
Tonight, the Almighty God wants to set some people free and believe it or not, you might be one of the people. When we talk of Deliverance, many of us always think, “oh deliverance is for somebody who is possessed by the devil.” Possession is the final stage of the activity of satan in a man’s life. Church Gist. I don’t have time for a long Bible study tonight, I would have talked to you about 7 stages of the activities of satan. I would have talked about things like oppression, regression, repression, obsession etc before we finally come to possession. Possession is when the enemy has already taken over completely – but that’s the last bit. What God wants me to tell you very briefly, (I’ll be very brief because tonight …as we used to say when I was young, we shall see what we shall see) every day begins with a night. It is we who human beings who begin our day from the morning. Church Gist. That’s not the way God does his own reckoning. If you read Genesis 1:5, 8, 13 and so on, you will hear God saying, “…and the evening and the morning the first day.” As far as God is concerned, every day begins at night.

Genesis 1:1-3. You will discover that before light came, darkness came first. When the Bible said the Earth was without form, you know what that means? It means the earth was confused, it was out of order. Church Gist. Confusion always comes before order. Storms always come before calmness. Mark 4:35-41. Are you in a storm tonight? In the name that’s above every other name I say peace be still!
Every testimony begins with a problem. The bigger the problem, the bigger the testimony. If you have not shared a testimony in the past 3 years, it’s because you’ve never had a crisis. Every testimony begins with a crisis. Church Gist. There was a testimony somebody shared yesterday. I know some of these testimonies I had to tell myself, “sit down sit down, you’re the General Overseer.” When I hear some of these testimonies I felt like jumping up and shouting hallelujah! She told you of a baby so sick that 5 doctors rejected the boy – they said the boy was going to die. They wouldn’t even treat him; they said his case was hopeless. But the Almighty God stepped in! Let somebody shout hallelujah!
The bigger the problem, the bigger the crisis, the bigger the testimony. For example in John 11:1-end – He wanted to show them that he is the Resurrection and the Life. He spoke a word and tomorrow he will be speaking and when the people saw the man who had been dead for 4 days jumping out of the grave, nobody could doubt him anymore. Church Gist. Have you a problem and you’re here tonight? Let me hear you shout hallelujah! You see, when the problem is small and you testify, people say, “mmm sit down let’s hear something good.” “Ehhh last week I had headache, I prayed, Jesus healed me.” Ah! Sit down. But when somebody was covered in fire and the dress he wore refused to burn, some of you, you don’t know when to shout. When the dress refused to burn because it was a dress he wore one night, many of you will remember that night when God said, “the dress you are wearing from now on is anointed,” and dress refused to burn because God spoke. Church Gist. I am not saying Daddy asked me to repeat that now, I am just using my position as someone who is sanctified to decree that the dress you are wearing now is sanctified!

Jesus had raised the dead before, he raised the daughter of Jairus but the people said, “well, nothing really happened; may be the girl just fainted. I mean, you heard him himself when he came in he said, she is sleeping. Church Gist. You know, he just came in when the girl wanted to wake up. Then he raised the dead, the son of the widow of Nain when they were already going to bury him and people said, “well, not really a miracle, the boy was in a coma and so, as they were taking him to the burial ground fresh air blew on him. It was just when he was about to come back to life that Jesus came – coincidence…” That’s why when they told him, Lazarus was sick, he said, “this one, it won’t be somebody who fainted; he will have been buried. Church Gist. He will already be stinking then I will bring him back to life then people will know that it is the Resurrection and the Life who is living among them.”
I have good news for somebody here tonight, your problem is so big you can’t even think of how it can be solved, you’ll get the solution tonight!
2 Kings 4:1-7 – the creditors came and there was nothing they could sell in the house except his children – that was how poor she was – and My Father moved in. Church Gist. Within a year he paid all her debts and had enough left over so that she will never need anybody’s money for the rest of her life. That’s, the testimony began with a big problem.
- May I inform somebody here tonight, financially your situation is critical; next year Convention, you will stand on this altar and tell the World that you have more than sufficient!
In Mark 5:2-15, I’m just giving you some examples of the bigger the problem, the bigger the testimony. The madman there, he didn’t have just one demon not 7 not 10, not 100 – a legion. He was so mad, mad people called him mad. When my Father spoke a word and all the demons scattered, when the entire Country came and they saw the madman in his right mind wearing clothes, the Bible said, they were afraid. Church Gist. There are testimonies that could frighten people. I told you on Tuesday that if we praise Him together as one, our God will bless us so that the whole World will be afraid of Him. Let’s shout hallelujah!
I can give you practical illustrations but I don’t have time to tell stories tonight because God wants to do something and He is in a hurry to do it. Every day begins with a night. Every testimony begins with a crisis. It is when night refuses to change to day, that’s when you need to call on Heaven to come and intervene. Church Gist. So that you have a problem, that’s no problem. That’s the beginning of a testimony. But when the problem refuses to move, when night refuses to change to day, when by the time it is 8am, 9am, 10am and still, everything is still dark, then we need to call Heaven to intervene.
Mark 5:25-34. The Woman with the issue of blood went to one doctor that one referred her to a second doctor, that one referred her to a third doctor, that one referred her to a fourth. When she had spent all she had and instead of getting better, got worse that’s when she said, Heaven, you have to intervene o. Church Gist. That’s why the Message for tonight is not for everybody. It’s for those of us who know we have a mountain. We have commanded the mountain to move, it didn’t move. We have fasted, we have prayed, we have invited pastor to pray, pastor has prayed. Some of us have written to the General Overseer, he had prayed and the problem is still there.

- Tonight is your night!
Everyday begins with a night. The night is supposed to change to day. Sorrow is supposed to change to joy. Weeping may endure for a night, joy comes in the morning and when weeping says it’s not going to change and then, we have to call on Heaven. Because tonight we are talking about the Land of the endless days – that’s Heaven. I’m sure you will then say, “where do you find that in the Bible?” Well of course, he knows. Church Gist. Revelation 22:5. No night there means if your problem started in the night and the night changes to day, does it mean that the day will then go to another night before we can have another day? That should be the normal cycle but the Place we are talking about called Heaven, once it is day, it is day forever..
Imagine you for the rest of your life having no more night experience just day. I mean, just come along with me, you know you want to celebrate something maybe your birthday or something pleasant, you prepare for the day – a lot of noise, a lot of invitation, a lot of expectation, you are looking for the day. Church Gist. Then, the day comes (thank you Daddy). My Daddy asked me to tell somebody, your day comes tonight!
So the day comes, woke up in the morning and everybody is singing happy birthday to you and your head is swelling. Everybody (is) focusing on you, you are the center of attraction. Before you knew it, the day is over and you know on the day like that, time flies. Church Gist. Before you know it, the 7 has changed to 8 and changed to…wait day, day will say, I have to go. Imagine how beautiful it will be if your day never becomes night. Imagine how wonderful it will be. Imagine how wonderful it will be if it is just joy all the time.
May I decree to somebody in the mighty name of Jesus? From tonight onward, no more sorrow for you!
You see, the Word of God says…thank you my Father, the Lord asked me to tell somebody, He said, the saying that not everyday is Christmas will no longer apply to you! I’m sure you understand that one. I mean when you go abroad, I know one big store in London. When it is 100 days to Christmas, they begin to advertise it. 100 days to Christmas, tomorrow, 99 days to Christmas because everybody is looking forward to one day in the year when they can have joy. Church Gist. Before you knew it, Christmas had come and gone. It is in an attempt to hold on to that one day that they said, December 26th also – public holiday. The Almighty God says, there is somewhere here for the rest of your life, everyday will be like Christmas!
Do you know that the Almighty God can allow your morning to last for 1000 years? It’s there in the Word of God. Psalm 90:4. Imagine that in your family and I am claiming this for myself too, imagine in your family that there will be no premature death for 1000 years. Church Gist. You say, you mean that suddenly, we will have a family where people don’t die, no premature death? The Bible says in His Word, in Isaiah 65:20, He said, it is possible that when somebody dies and he is a hundred years old, they will call him an infant. In other words, nobody will die young. I claim that for my own family and I decree it to your family!
What God wants to do tonight is to turn your night to day and that crisis that has resisted prayers, that problem that you have fasted about, prayed about, invited pastor to pray about, some of you have gone from one prayer mountain to another prayer mountain and some “prophets” have been eating fat on you because of a problem that refused to be solved. Church Gist. In the name of the one who sent me, tonight, you’ll get deliverance. Only one condition; there must be no trace of cooperation between you and forces of darkness. Because if God wants to deliver you and one of your.. your one leg in God, one leg in Satan, you have to choose. “Choose ye this day whom you will serve”.

In Numbers 23:19-24, a king invited a false prophet to come and curse Israel so that they can be weakened and he destroyed. Church Gist. The prophet came, as he opened his mouth to curse, blessings began to flow. The King got angry, “I asked you to come and curse these people, you’re blessing them”. He said, “ah! How can I curse those who God has not cursed. God has not seen any iniquity in these people. He has examined them up and down”. Church Gist. You know, I was talking to you on Tuesday, I said, be as pure as light, some of you would say, “eh, you’re taking that too far”. That’s why Jesus Christ said you must be without spot, without blemish or any such things. Be clean, inside out. He said, “I can’t curse them, God has not seen anything evil in them”.
And I told you the story before, just for illustration. A woman who came and said she has been barren for so many years, somebody told her, “go to Pastor Adeboye, he prays for you, you’ll become pregnant”. Church Gist. You’ve seen so many testimonies about children being born, wait till tomorrow, you’ll see all the people who were barren last year who have got their children, you’ll see them tomorrow. I guarantee you, they’ll be in hundreds. Special anointing by the grace of God because God knows I love children. If my wife had no problem giving birth, we would have had a dozen. I love children. So, the one my wife could not produce, other women are producing them. Glory be to God. Church Gist. She came, we prayed, the following year, she returned, “I’m not yet pregnant. They told me that if I came and you pray for me, I’ll be slain in the spirit, I will fall down. You prayed, I fell down, etcetera” But don’t fall down anymore now, we are able to control the anointing a little (laughs). What’s wrong? Church Gist. And God spoke to me and said, “ask her how many boyfriends bedside her husband?” You know the story na. If I didn’t know the voice of God, how do you say to a very big lady, how many boyfriends have you? I had to kind of stammer, “sister, please, don’t be angry oh, it’s not me oh but it’s my daddy who said I should ask you, how many boyfriends have you beside your husband?” She said, “six”. Church Gist. I thought you know the story. “You have six boyfriends apart from your husband and you want my God? My God is a Holy God”.
You want deliverance tonight? You want to be completely free? You want your night to change to day? You want your sorrow to change to joy? You want that mountain to move? Church Gist. You must make up your mind, absolutely purity, absolute holiness, that’s what God requires. It’s like I told you on Tuesday, it’s not my standard. When people say, “your standard is too high. You’re making the journey so difficult”. It’s not me, the God we serve is as pure as light. And He said His children must be perfect even as He’s perfect. Church Gist. As soon as we settle the issue of sin, then you need to take note, how do we proceed to get deliverance tonight? Two simple steps:

![](https://churchgist.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/IMG-20240809-WA0027.jpg)
- We will praise him.
- We will come against forces of darkness in the name that is above every other name.
Like I told you at the beginning, all those who got deliverance, they got it by worshipping God first. The mad man of Gadara couldn’t talk, the demons won’t allow him to talk but as soon as he saw Jesus Christ coming, he worshipped. Church Gist. From that moment on, he got the Lord of Host committed. “Oh, we have been worshipping”, the one we are going to do tonight.. and you know when it comes to deliverance, it’s not a question of, “I’m a big man”. The devil doesn’t know big men. No. Cancer has no respect for your degrees, it doesn’t matter how many PhDs you have. Church Gist. When it’s the time to worship God tonight, we are going to do it like little babies because if a mad man could worship God, what’s your excuse for not worshipping? Then, we will come against these forces of darkness in the name that is above every other name. When David came face to face with Goliath, he said, “I come against you in the name of the Lord”. Church Gist. We will see what God will do and I’m sure that tomorrow morning, everybody will be singing a new song. So, I want to get out of the way so God can do what He wants to do.
