WIND OF CHANGE 1st of November, 2024
NOVEMBER HOLY GHOST SERVICE THEME: WIND OF CHANGE 1ST NOVEMBER, 2024. BY: PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE Whenever we hear testimonies, you should try and put yourself in the shoes of the testifier. If you happen to be the mother of that child that was seriously demon possessed… When I laid hands on him last month, my heart goes out to him because they tied his hands to his leg and then use something again to tie his neck to the same leg, The devil is a bad devil; but thank God for the Lord of Host. And before I ask you to Him tonight, his case reminded me of a woman, wealthy woman, she had this peculiar problem that whatever she ate she vomited. They went to all manners of hospital and they could not see anything wrong because demon don’t appear on x-ray. And they brought her to the Headquarter, and even as I said let someone shout, as she shouted hallelujah, she vomited a worm and that was the end of her problem. Maybe if you really praise God this evening, your problems might just end before we do any other thing. Thank You Father. Glory be to Your holy name. Thank You. Thank You. Thank You. Thank You Lord. Glory be to God. Thank You. Thank You Lord. In Jesus mighty name we worship. We bless Your name O Lord And we confess You that You are the Lord (We bless)
We bless Your name O Lord And we confess You that You are the Lord (We bless) We bless Your name O Lord And we confess You that You are the Lord (We bless)
We bless Your name O Lord And we confess You that You are the Lord
King of kings and Lord of lords, the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the Ending, we want to say with all our heart, thank You for January, thank You for February, thank You for March, thank You for April, thank You for May, thank You for June, thank You for July, thank You for August, thank You for September, thank You for October, thank You for November, please accept our worship in Jesus’ name. Daddy, You have brought us thus far this year, please see us through to January. Tonight, in a very very special way, let Your wind blow, let Your wind blow in our favour. Before the sun rises tomorrow my Father and my God, I pray that we will all sing the song of victory. Thank You Almighty God. In Jesus mighty name we have prayed. Amen. Let someone shout hallelujah. I want to you to shake hand with one or two people and prophesy to them and say: wind will blow in your favour tonight. And then you may please be seated. Let us turn to John chapter 3 verse 8: 8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. There is a link between the wind and the movement of the Spirit of God. The wind is something you cannot see but you can see its actions. When the wind is blowing and the flower is in the field, we can see the flower moving this way, moving that way but you cannot see what is causing it to do that. When the wind is blowing on you, you can feel the effect but you cannot see it. When someone is born-again, he looks the same on the outside but on the inside, something has happened, and the action will begin to show. The wind of change that is going to blow in favour of some people tonight, will change them physically, can change them spiritually and change them forever. But let me very quickly look at what happened in the past when the wind blew because when we say the wind blow, it could also mean the Spirit moved. The first time that the Spirit of God moved is in Genesis chapter 1 from verse 1 to 5: Darkness was reigning supreme, and then Spirit of God moved, the wind blew and certain things happened Immediately: One: God spoke; and whenever God speaks things happen – Psalm 107 verse 20 said He sent His word and healed them and delivered them from all destructions. So, tonight, in the Name that is above every other name, God will speak to you. When God spoke, what He said was ‘let there be light’ Let there be light is another way of saying darkness get out of the way; and that could be darkness lose your victims. Mark 10 verse 46 to 52, when the wind blew on Bartimaeus – darkness releases him. By the way, it is interest that you note that majority of the miracles performed was perform when He was moving followed by great a multitude of people, Because when there are a lot of people moving together, they star the wind. The wind was blowing when He cured the leper because there was a multitude following Him in Matthew chapter 8 verse 1 to 3 The wind was blowing because there was multitude following Him when that woman with the issue of blood in Mark chapter 5 verse 25 to 34, struggled to touch the hem of Him garment and she got completely healed. There was a multitude following Him, the wind was blowing when He met the woman of Nain, that widow who was going to buried her only son, and Jesus Christ stopped the journey to grave yard and the woman never wept again. There were many here tonight, there were many in the old auditorium, and were many in other viewing stations, and so I believe that even as we continued to minister unto the Lord, the wind will blow and He will single out individuals for special miracles. When the wind blew the very first, God spoke, and all He have to do is speak; and whenever He speaks, it a decree. When the word went out from this altar sometimes ago as the testimonies will have that there are some people who will never fail again; we began to hear the testimonies. And may I, trusting my Father in heaven, boldly declare again that there is someone here who will never fail again. You won’t fail exams again. Your business won’t fail again. Your marriage won’t fail again. Your pregnancy will not be aborted again. The second time that the wind blew, you will find in Genesis chapter 2 verse 7 The Bible says God formed man of the dust of the ground – ordinary dust of the ground; and then breath on his nostrils the breath of life – the wind went into that mold, And what happened? Immediately mold became a living soul. From mold came something, so precious that it cannot be purchase with money. In Mark chapter 8 verse 36 to 37, the Bible says what shall it profit a man if he should gain the whole world and loose his soul. That soul that came when God breath into ordinary mold became so precious that all the money in the world cannot pay for one soul. When you are talking about all the money in the world, there are some of you listening to me who think they are rich, and some of us we don’t even know what rich means, But imagine somebody who owns all the money in America, in Europe, in the Arab nations, plus the little we have in Africa, and yet God says all his money is not enough to buy a soul. You know that’s while I will always tell my children, you may not look like it but you are a very important personality to God. Because if you are the only one alive, Jesus Christ would still have come down to die for you; that is how precious you are. Tell you neighbour: you are seating next to a VIP you know! You may not think I am a VIP but I am VIP to God. When the wind blows, someone who is consider a nobody can suddenly become a very significance person. I know God made a promise in January, whether you believe it or not, it is going to come to pass. He said specially that there is someone who started the year as nobody who will end the year a somebody. Believe it or not it is going to come to pass. That is while if you are still breathing, if that breath is still there, there is hope for you. Ecclesiastes chapter 9 verse 4 says, even a living dog is better than a dead lion. I am still alive, I am still breathing, I know my tomorrow will still be alright. So, if anybody thinks they are writing you off, they are wasting their time. Tell your neighbour again, my tomorrow is going to be alright; I am still breathing you know. That is while Psalm 150 verse 6 says let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Another time that the wind blew, as mentioned by Mummy while she was praying, Exodus 14… Thank You Father. The Lord says there is someone who said Lord God Almighty You must speak to me today. He says if you are the one I am to tell you it is not over yet. In Exodus chapter 14, you know the entire story from verse 1 to 28, when the children Israel got to the red sea and Pharaoh and his army were coming from behind, they had a choice either to go back into bondage or to die by the red sea but the wind blew. And one of the major things that happened when the blew is that there was a way where there was no way before. That is the chorus of the song that we sang earlier on. When the wind blows for you tonight, all of a sudden where there had been no way before, there will be a way for you. Why? Jesus Christ said in John 14 verse 6, He said I AM the Way; even before He said I AM the Truth and the Life, He first of all says, I AM the Way. So, even if everybody has written you off, and the wind blows for you God can still surprise them. O yes, He can. He has done it before; He will do it again. I mean in John chapter 11 from beginning to the end, tells you the story Lazarus By the time Jesus arrived, Lazarus had been dead and bury for four days; everybody believed that is too late, the sisters said so: well, if you had arrived earlier; If this Holy Ghost service had happened maybe in June, if only daddy had prayed for me last month or somehow earlier today, maybe there would have been hope. I want you to know that my God is never late, and your miracle will come today. The sisters of Lazarus told the Lord Jesus Christ that it is too late, by now he will be stinking; and particularly when they saw Jesus Christ weeping, they said: haa, okay! It is all over. I agree with the prophecy that had come out already today, as far as you are concern it is not over yet. There is always one last card that God can play when everybody else had given up hope. And the story of the woman with issue of blood that we mentioned earlier on in Mark chapter 5… Thank You Father. The Lord said there is someone listening to me, (I don’t know whether you are here or you are watching on telling vision), He asked me to tell you, you will not die. And the case of the woman with issue of blood, she had tried everything; everything had failed. I thank God for the testimonies of tonight of a fellow who had been told by the doctor: there is no way you and your wife can produce a child, and God said, if there is no way, I AM still the Way. There is always a last card in the hand of the Almighty God. And in the Name that is above every other name, every door that has been shut against you will be blown open. God made a way where there was no way before. And then did something extra, that day when the wind blew, he told the enemy to pursue this people and they followed, and then the tide turned against them. You know I want to make an appeal to you, don’t pray for the destruction of your enemies; pray that God will have mercy on them, because they already in great trouble fighting against a child of God. You remember what God said to Saul on his was to Damascus, He is said Saul, Saul, why are persecuting Me? Anyone that is persecuting you as a child of God is already in trouble. So, what you should do, don’t add to his trouble, ask for mercy for him. I have said it before: it is written, thou preparest a table before me (Where?) in the presence of my enemies. If you pray that God should kill all your enemies who will be there to watch you enjoy. Do I hear somebody say God have mercy on all my enemies, and save their souls. Because it is very dangerous to fight again a child of God. Why? Our God even though He is love, He is also a consuming fire. Another case when the wind blew, … I am moving fast because today being the last Holy Ghost of the year, the Pastor will be praying for everyone of you to put a seal on your blessings so that by the you come for the congress you will have many testimonies to share. In 2Kings chapter 2 from verse 9 to 15, the wind blew; when the wind blew certain things happen Number one: Elijah was taken by whirlwind to heaven, somebody cheated death. Because is it written, it is appointed unto man…; there is an appointment with death. But God can change things, He is Sovereign. The wind blew and Elijah went up by whirlwind to heaven. I have always had that feeling that there mighty be some of us who will never taste death. You know there is something called rapture, we just come to Holy Ghost service like this, we are singing praising God and the trumpet will sound, and where you are seated the only thing that will remain there is the dress you are wearing because we won’t need that dress in heaven. If the trumpet sounds tonight, how many of you will go with the Lord. Elijah cheated death. It took away Enoch, that is another fellow who cheated death. The Bible just said that Enoch was walking with God…; I mean, one Sunday school boy was asked: what did you learn from Sunday school today? He said they told us the story of Enoch. Okay, what do you understand by the story? He said they told us Enoch is a friend of God and once in a while God will come and visit him and when God is going back Enoch will escort God. He said one day, Enoch was escorting God and they were enjoying their fellowship and they kept on going, and by the time Enoch looked back his house was far away; and he said let us just continue. Sounds like a childish story, I still believe God will takeaway some of us by the rapture. If He takes away by the rapture, will you be among us? In that case, I will see you in heaven in Jesus’ name. And there were people who died of old age and the way they go is almost like the rapture. There was an uncle of mine, went to church on Sunday, thanksgiving Sunday, dance, worship God, everybody noticed him, he came back home took breakfast while the wife was preparing for lunch And while they were preparing the pounded yam, he went into the toilet to hiss himself. When the pounded yam was ready, the wife knocked at the door of the bathroom: darling your lunch is ready. Darling, darling Darling was gone. That was a good way for a child of God to go. Go to church, worship God, come home, eat pounded yam and go. The wind can just blow you straight into heaven. I pray for all the old ones among us, if the Lord delays His coming, when it is time for you to go after you have fulfil your days you will not suffer. But then there is something more that happened when the blew to take Elijah away and that is the fact that when Elijah said Elisha: what shall I do for you before I be taken away from you? And Elisha said I want double portion of your spirit Remembered what Elijah said? He said you have asked a hard thing. Whenever the wind blows, difficult prayers are answered – no matter how difficult the prayer, if the blows the answer will come; and it is not that it come in months’ time, it will come that day. How many of you have something big you want to ask God for today? I thank God on your behalf because as the wind will blow, before will leave here the answers to your prayers will come. Because in John chapter 14 verse 14 Thank You Father. Maybe I should say amen to this before I tell you. The Lord said there is someone here today, the Lord said you came believing that all will be well. He asked me to tell you that by this time next week you will be saying all is well. Thank You Daddy. Thank You Lord. I want to say amen to this also. The Lord asked to tell someone that He still has some pleasant surprises before the end of the year. No matter how big what you ask for, God can give you much bigger things particularly if the wind blows. Remember clearly what you know already, all asked God was a house, and He decided that I will give you a city. May I decree in the Name of the one who called me, no matter how big your request tonight, may God give you something bigger. I can go on and on and show you what happens when the wind blows. In the case of Elijah versus Elisha that we mentioned earlier on, when the wind blew, Elisha woke up a servant and went to bed a master. When the wind blows it accelerate your promotion; He moves you from point A to point B so rapidly that you yourself won’t even know what is going on. I have goodnews for someone here, this is me speaking and I know my Father is backing me up, before I see you again you will be on a higher level. Now, let me just mention what somebody had mentioned earlier on, and that is what I will probably call the greatest wind of change that blew That is in Acts of Apostle chapter 2 from verse 1 to 4, that is on the day of Pentecost, the wind blew, and the Holy Spirit came and several things happened, And my son mentioned it that the disciples who were afraid before did not know fear anymore. Many of us are in bondage to Satan because of fear of death – that is what the Bible says. But when the wind blows and you don’t know fear anymore, you become completely free from satan. You know the reason why some people are afraid to serve God? They are afraid that if they serve God something will happen. You heard the testimony of that young man; you go to church you will go mad. In another occasion, he wanted to pray for a mad fellow, he says you pray for that fellow, you will go mad. Satan is a specialist in fear. You know some of us are even afraid to ask for big things from God. On one occasion I asked somebody ask for something big from God, and his friend said what did you ask for: He said, I said to God it will be wonderful idea o God if you can buy me a bicycle. His friends said, why didn’t you ask for a car? He said, haa! A car! Where will I get the money to get petrol? If God can buy a car, He will buy the petrol! How many of you will say from now on I will never be afraid again? Because fear can hinder you even from your blessings – physically, materially, even spiritually. I don’t want to tell story tonight like I said I want you to be ministered unto – hands laid on you tonight. But you will remember the story when I said I need fifty pounds in London and the Almighty God provided another fifty miraculously. And I said, I know You will answer this quickly, I would have asked for hundred; and God provided another pounds miraculously And I said, haa, I don’t know this thing will work this way, maybe I should have asked for one hundred and five, and He provided; and I became afraid. And I said God I am joking, the original fifty was enough. That is spirit that is saying you must remain small; I rebuke it today. You remember what God told me years later, when I told the story in one of the meetings, He said, Son, you ask for fifty that was while I gave you fifty; if you have asked Me for five thousand, I would have given you five thousand. I want you to lift your voice the Almighty God and say Father, the very best You can ever give, give it to me tonight. Open your mouth and cry unto Him just for few minutes. The very best You give to me, give to me tonight. He answers hard prayers when the wind blows. He answers hard prayers. The very best You can give me O Lord, the very best You can give to any many, that is what I want Daddy, release to me tonight even as the wind blows; let it blow the very very best to me. Thank You Father. In Jesus mighty name we have prayed. And so shall it be. When we got to this camp, I told you we built the first auditorium hundred meters by fifty meters, and my children said this is the biggest auditorium in Africa, let us wall it round. I said no, we have not even started. Haa, this is big enough. By second year we have to extend, and then extend, and then extend, until we cannot extend anymore until we have to build another one which is now the children section and by time we finished that design, now we have arrived. And I say no. And then we build what we now called the old auditorium, and they said now we have arrived. Now, the old auditorium you can see it on the screen, it is now overflow. And then I told them we are coming to build a three-by-three auditorium where we are now, I know people who said to me: that is taking it too far. Who told you this is the last one we are going to build! We have not started yet. Lift your hand to heaven and say: Father, don’t let the sky be my limit, let heaven alone be my limit. When the wind blows you get hard prayers answered. And so shall it be in Jesus’ name. Now, the people in the upper room lost fear, from that moment onward they became bold. The weak became powerful because the Lord as said you will receive power when the Holy Ghost shall come upon you. The man who ordinary a fisherman became somebody whose shadow can heal the sick – the ordinary became extra-ordinary. And the wind will blow for you tonight. Thank You Father. The Lord asked me tell someone He said within the first quarter of the new year, your testimony will be complete. And you say why do you say amen to that sir? That is telling me whether the devil likes it or not, I am going to see the new year; and I will see you in the new year. Thank You Father. Amen and amen. Daddy says there is someone here tonight, He said I will take sugar away from you, I will give you honey. Of course, I must tell you the truth that when the wind blows, secrets are expose. So, before you say let the wind blow, examine yourself because the wind will blow. And as a matter of fact, God told us remember January, He told you the wind will blow this year, and the wind had been blowing and some secrets had been already exposed And from the look of things, from what I am sensing concerning the coming year, the wind is going to become stronger. Which means if you have some devilish secrets that you are hiding the wind will blow it open unless you quickly amend your ways, unless you quickly confess and forsake your evil ways, the wind is blowing and it is not going to stop blowing. So, it now depends on: is the wind blowing for you or against you? You see, it is the wind that open the way in the red sea for the children of Isreal; it is the same wind that drown the army of Pharaoh. So, is the wind blowing in your favor or against you. God is sovereign. Psalm 115 verse 3, our God is in heavens, he does as He pleases. Like the text we read at the beginning, the wind blows wherever it wants. And just like the sounds, you cannot see it, but it blows. God can ask the wind to blow in your favour. But if He looks at you and He know that He has pleaded with you, He has spoken to you about surrendering your life to Jesus, and you have resisted, and you claim to be a child of God and you are living as a child of the devil, One day the wind will blow, and when it blows, you won’t be able to hide, there is no where to hide from God. No too long ago, they caught a man on this camp ground, he used to be one of the security people, then he resigned from the security outfit and bought keke maruwa, and began to operate on the camp ground. In the holy city of God, he was not afraid; you know, God is here watching. But he was using his keke maruwa to transport stolen goods out of the camp; and whenever he got to the gate, because he used to be one of the guards, they just salute and let him go; but the wind blew and God caught him, When God catches there is no escape! Are still involved in sin? When the wind blows secret will be out, that is for those of you who have not yet given your life to Jesus Christ, I am going to call on you in a moment to come and surrendered your life to Him. It is up to you. God is sovereign, He does as He pleases, but He as made arrangements for you to move in such way that He will cause the wind to blow in your favour. He said, I love those who love Me – that is He said in Proverbs chapter 8 verse 17 - I love those who love Me; and those who seek Me early will fine Me. He said in Romans chapter 9 verse 15, He said I will show mercy on whom I will show mercy; I will decide He quickly added in Matthew chapter 5 verse 7 says blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy. And then He said in Proverbs chapter 28 verse 13, He said if you hide your sin, you cannot prosper; but if you confess your sin and forsake them, you will have mercy. When you say you have given your life to Jesus Christ what you are actually saying is: Lord, let the wind blow in my favour. I am confessing my sin, I am forsaking them, I am asking show me mercy. But before I close encouragement for those of who had made up our minds, we will do His will all the way, and the word of encouragement is this: wind and fire are very good partners, You go through the scriptures, 1Kings chapter 19 verse 11 to 12, when God wanted to come and visit Elijah, the wind blow, the fire was there before God showed up. In 2Kings chapter 2 verse 9 to 15, when the wind came to take Elijah to heaven, there was also horses and chariots of fire. In Acts chapter 2 from verse 1 to 4, when the sound of a mighty roaring wind filled the house, the Holy Spirit came with a tongue of fire. The two of them go together. If the fire is small, and the wind blows, the fire becomes big. So, when you say let the wind blow is another way of saying let the fire fall which explains the reason while the wind can bring about tremendous change. Because when fire touches anything, that thing can never remain the same – there is not science for changing ashes back to firewood. So, when you pray tonight and say let the wind blow, we are also saying let the fire fall. Meaning what? The changes that will happen tonight will be permanent. The promotion that God will give tonight will be permanent. The victory that God will give tonight will be permanent. So, keep that in my when it is time to pray. But in the meantime if you have not yet given your life to Jesus and you want to do so, before the wind blows all your secret in the open, and you want the wind of God to blow in your favour, not against you; I am going to count from one to fifteen, and before I say fifteen come and stand before the altar so that together we can pray for you and the Lord will save your soul. I am beginning to count now, so if you want to come to give your life to Jesus begin to run forward now because I know some of you will he coming from a long way. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, Those of you who are on the way keep coming, and make sure you get here before I finish praying. Those of you who are already in front open your mouth and cry to the Almighty God and say Father, have mercy on me, save my soul, forgive all my sins, be my Lord, be my Saviour, come and live inside of me, I will do Your will for the rest of my life. Go ahead, pray. And the rest of us let us stretch our hands towards this people and intercede for them and pray that the One who saved our souls will save their own souls also; that God will forgive all their sins; that his blood will wipe away all their sins and He will give them a brand-new beginning, that they will become true children of the living God. Pray for them Brethren. Intercede for them that God will give them genuine salvation. And those of you still on the way, hurry up because I must pray for salvation. Thank You Father. In Jesus mighty name we have prayed. My Father and my God I want to bless Your holy name and I want to You very much for those who have heard hear Your word and have decided to surrender their lives to You now, Father, please receive them in Jesus’ name; forgive them in Jesus’ name, let Your blood wash away their sins, write their names in the book of life, and from now on let them become true children of the living God. Father, when the wind begins to blow tonight, Father, let it blow in their favour. And from now on anytime they call unto you answer them by fire. In Jesus mighty name we have prayed. Amen. Praise the Lord. Well, I rejoice with those of you who have come out to surrender your life to Jesus, from now on by the grace of God I will be praying for you. I am going to need your names, your address, and your prayer request and I promised your I will be praying for you. The Counselors will collect the information I need from you and then they will pass it on to me, and I promise you I will be praying for you. So, in the meantime we will wait for you until the Counselors have finished with you until we move forward. God bless you. Now you want to write down your prayer points. Now you want to thank God for making sure you are a partaker of tonight service when the wind of change is going to blow. And then number two you are going to say Father, let your wind blow anything call darkness away from my home. Anything associated with darkness, let Your wind blow them away from my home, from my life. Then number three, you will say Father, please blow into me and fill up all my emptiness. Number four: Father, please make away for me where there had been no way before. Number five: Father, please don’t let me know fear every again because the Bible says fear has torment. Number six: you will say Father, every evil left in this old year, blow them away from my home. Number seven: Father, every blessing left in this old year, blow into my home. Number eight: Father, let the heavenly fire fall on me again tonight. Number nine: that will be your own private request. The altar is open, you can come and start thanking God, blessing His hoy name for making it possible for you to be here tonight and then keep on praying and presenting your case to Him. Thank You Father. Thank You Lord. Hallelujah In Jesus mighty name we have prayed. The Almighty God will grant your request. He will speak life into you. Darkness will leave you alone. He will turn your emptiness to fulness. He will make away for you. Every impossibility in your life will become possible. No matter how difficult your prayer request is, He will grant them. He will accelerate your promotion. You will never know fear again. You will never know sorrow again. Any evil left in this old year will be blown away from you. Every blessing left in this year will be blown into your home. God will answer your prayers. It shall be well with you. And your blessings of tonight will be permanent. The wind will blow in your favour. So shall it be. In Jesus mighty name we have prayed. Amen. Shout hallelujah.
