The God of all possibilities

The theme of the Wind of the Spirit is the God of all possibilities, El Shaddai

God revealed himself to Abraham as Jehovah El Shaddai, the almighty God with whom nothing can be impossible Genesis 17:1

Nothing, absolutely nothing, is impossible with Jesus

Stir up your hearts this season to be ready. Whatever has lingered this long, the Lord is sorting it out this season

Many things begin to happen before that day, and they culminate into the Wind of the Spirit

Isaiah 32:15

Every dry experience in your life is giving way to fruitfulness this season

Dryness in your finance, in your marriage, in your career, is giving way to fruitfulness

The doctor said it is impossible. A lady's report said 0%, it is impossible for her to be pregnant. Doctors only said what they could see

2 Corinthians 4:18

Temporal means subject to change. Therefore that negative medical report is subject to change

She joined online on Monday night. By Tuesday afternoon she was positive pregnant

Isaiah 10:17

In Hebrew it is a consuming fire. It will not take long. It will take one day

Everything that looks impossible in your life, as you stir your heart in this season, is becoming possible in the name of Jesus

Testimony: 13 years of HIV

Last year a lady wrote on the prayer list, God take away my HIV. She folded it so the ushers would not see it was from her

Jehovah El Roi, who sees the invisible, saw her and read it. The next week we were ministering and I called her out. I didn't know her

I laid hands on her, prophesied, and called her by her name without knowing her name

She went home that Sunday and checked. 13 years HIV positive had turned to negative. 13 years of shame and reproach wiped away by Jesus

Testimony: herpes

A lady came with physical symptoms in her private part and in her mouth. She shouted, Jesus, Jesus, Son of David

She said, I have not lived my life well. I am responsible for this. It is because of the way I lived carelessly

She called on Jesus with whom nothing is impossible. Jesus stretched forth his hands and touched her. It was a Friday

By Saturday the doctors asked her, where did you go to? They could not find one trace. Jesus took everything out

  • Everything called impossible in your life in this season, Jesus is wiping it away.
  • When we pray, he answers. When we call, he answers. We are not alone. God is with us.
  • Only what God cannot do will remain undone.
  • There is nobody barren in my family. There is nobody under the yoke of delay.
  • That addiction to drugs is getting broken in this season.
  • That inexplicable weakness in your body, that tiredness you cannot explain, strength is supplied in this season.

Isaiah 10:27

I declare every burden of sickness, every burden of delay, every burden of staying on the same spot, is lifted in the name of Jesus

It is a season of calling. When we call, he will answer. That season of stagnation is coming to an end

Your testimony is somebody's prophecy. There is somebody believing God for the exact thing God has done for you

Rain means nothing to someone who has no seed in the earth. The farmer who has planted seed is excited when he sees rain coming

What is in Jesus for me?

We are heirs of Jesus Romans 8:17

An heir who refuses to grow up is like a servant Galatians 4:1

An heir is the owner of an inheritance, and there can't be any inheritance without death. The one who purchased it had died. That is why Jesus had to die to make you an heir

Jesus is the only man in history who wrote a will and died so that the will could take effect. That is why it is called a testament Hebrews 9:16 to Hebrews 9:17

Jesus wrote a will for you in his Word. He died so the will could take effect

He rose from the dead to personally enforce his will so the enemy does not take what belongs to you

5 things we have in the cross of Jesus:

  1. Forgiveness

    Ephesians 1:7, Colossians 2:13 to Colossians 2:14

    I don't care what you have done. When you come to Jesus you have forgiveness of sins. Even if you have aborted a baby

    Someone may say the reason things are not going well is the blood of the babies you have killed crying out against you

    The blood of Abel can cry out. But we have forgiveness in the blood of Jesus Hebrews 12:24

    Jesus doesn't give you the silent treatment. He is not your boyfriend. He is not that one you offend and have to beg 200 million times

    Right where you are, all your sins are forgiven. Everything

    I committed a lot of sins. I was a very bad boy. Thank God for Jesus that took me while I was still young

    I lied. I lied to the point that my father said, this lie must not go to waste, study law

    I am the seventh of 14 children, the first child in my father's house that went to arts

    My father took me in front of the shrine, in front of the idol, and asked the idol whether what I was saying was true

    The idol said it was true. The devil is a liar

    My daddy knew. I said, Daddy, I lied. But Jesus took me and washed me clean Isaiah 1:18

    My sin was not covered, it was paid for

  2. Reconciliation

    Colossians 1:19 to Colossians 1:20, Romans 5:10, 2 Corinthians 5:18 to 2 Corinthians 5:19

    Forgiveness is one thing, reconciliation is another. Forgiveness is commanded, reconciliation is not

    You can forgive people without being their friends again. I have forgiven you, you do your day, I do my day. Forgiveness is commanded, friendship is not

    That thing you are doing with your ex is the reason you do not heal. I told her, let him go. You are opening the scar over and over. Let bygones be bygones

    Jesus is the only one that commands reconciliation after forgiveness

    God did not just forgive you. After that, he brought you back to himself. He didn't keep you at arm's length, saying I forgive you, but just stay where you are

    He didn't just wipe away my sins. He brought me back to himself

    Even though I have offended him, he still calls me his friend. That is why we are told not to grieve the Holy Spirit Ephesians 4:30

    Jesus has never thrown you out. Every time you felt a distance with God, you are the one who walked away Hebrews 13:5

    I missed it, I fell, I'm ashamed, but Jesus is not ashamed of me. He brought me back to himself

    When you saw Jesus die that day on the cross, what died was God. God was in Christ. There was a war between God and the world

    Impute is an accounting word. God is not counting sins Psalm 130:3

    I have never slept with any woman apart from my wife. I have one body count. Even with that, I would still have gone to hell without Jesus

    Jealousy cannot stand. Envy cannot stand

    Those who are envious that they did not join the others for pastors' appreciation Sunday, and now their face does not show, are jealous. You were not part of it. Jealousy is a sin

    Fear can lead somebody to hell. The first people that will enter hell fire are the fearful Revelation 21:8

    You are afraid to ask that girl out. You are afraid to tell that sister your feelings. That is how you can go to hell now

  3. Redemption

    1 Peter 1:18 to 1 Peter 1:19

    I am bought back. I no longer belong to the devil. I am bought with a price

    There is no way I should have pastored a growing church. My father served idols

    Before I married my wife I took her to my father's shrine, and said this is what we worship in our family

    My father was told, this boy must take over from you. We had gone to do a shrine with Shango in Abeokuta

    I gave my life to Christ in the months before my father died. God came faster than the devil. I said, I'm not serving any devil, I will serve Jesus

    When you buy something, you have bought it. I can do with my hand the way I want to do my hand. I am bought with a price

    One day I was praying and fasting, coming to 90 days and 90 nights, and I heard a scary voice in my spirit

    It said, you said we should leave your family, we have left. You said leave your siblings, we have left them. Why are you disturbing us?

    I said, Satan, anywhere I see you I show you shaking. I always go where they did not send me. Any devil I see, I cast it out

    My Father and my Master Jesus already did that

    Blood is the highest kind of currency. I was redeemed

    Psalm 107:2

    Don't be quiet. Say it

    Satan will pretend he did not know you have been redeemed. You are redeemed

    A trader in the market can sell you what you don't need. But Jesus was intentional when he paid for you. He didn't buy you by mistake. He bought you consciously

    They offered Jesus painkillers on the cross Matthew 27:34

    He tasted it and spat it out. He didn't want anything to numb his pain. He felt every ounce of pain required to pay for your complete deliverance

    So they will not say, after all, you did not feel the pain. He paid it

    Jesus really died. His life was taken that he may buy me back. That is why what afflicts your body has no right in your body. You are bought 1 Corinthians 6:20

    Sickness does not glorify God

  4. Victory

    Colossians 2:15

    Disarm means he collected everything Satan was holding. He shamed the spiritual rulers and authorities publicly by his victory

    Normally I am supposed to fail in everything I do if I don't go back to worship my idol. Normally I am supposed to be on a sick bed, carried back paralyzed until I agree

    Satan cannot do anything to me because Jesus won. Satan is ashamed. Satan has no right over your child. Satan has no right over your marriage

    It doesn't matter what age you are

    Illustration: my daughter's cheeks

    At the dining table, my daughter started screaming. Her cheeks were swelling up as if a spiritual organizer was pumping them

    I shouted, you foul devil, take your filthy hands off my daughter. That instant, she stopped

    I told her, anytime I'm not at home and Satan comes, you shout on him. He has been publicly put to shame. He has no right over your life

    Victory over death

    Sometimes death is so painful. We lost a dear brother in our church on a Sunday morning. He looked as if he was sleeping

    Paul wrote to comfort us concerning those who sleep 1 Thessalonians 4:13 to 1 Thessalonians 4:18

    You can't kill anybody twice Hebrews 9:27

    A believer has already died Galatians 2:20

    He cannot die again. He died on the cross, was buried with Jesus, rose with Jesus, and is seated with Jesus in heavenly places Ephesians 2:6

    If you have lost a loved one, I know how painful it is. It only means you miss them. I'm going to see them again

    How will you leave heaven to come back to Nigeria? Heaven is a glorious place. That is where Jesus is. We are going home to see Jesus

    Jesus Christ is coming soon. I'm going with the first flight. When I hear that trumpet sound, I'm gone

    I told my wife, press your perfume, my dear, Antichrist is coming

    They will enter your wardrobe, they will wear your clothes and use your perfume to clean the floor. You will not have it forever

    It pained us that they left, but they did not die. When we get to heaven you see all your loved ones at the feet of Jesus

    A sound engineer put on his status, I can't wait to see you again. I said, please change it. He has gone home, but you wait

    We are encompassed with a cloud of witnesses Hebrews 12:1

    They are not dead. They are there cheering you on. Go all the way. Fulfil your purpose. Even if you were raised from the dead, you would die again, bodily

    He collected the keys of death from Satan. Jesus has victory

    Jesus is alive. They did not meet his body in the tomb. He is not that kind of spirit you see in Nollywood. Jesus got up from the tomb. He ate bread

    There is hope for every foodie. When we get to heaven there will be bread

    There will be no tears in heaven, no sorrow Revelation 21:4

    We have pain, but we don't mourn like those who have no hope

  5. Love

    Jeremiah 31:3, Romans 5:7 to Romans 5:8

    Everlasting means I can never stop loving you. There is nothing you can do that can stop me from loving you

    What we have in the cross is God's love

    Even while I was dirty, coming from the house of my boyfriend on a Sunday morning, sleeping around, even then Christ loved me

    He didn't wait for me to become righteous before he died for me

    You don't know anybody who is willing to die for you. Nobody wants to die for the next one

    Love with no strings attached. I am not saying, until you do this, I will do this

    Useless conditional relationships, where you keep shifting the goalpost, you have to quickly break them off. Jesus' love has no conditions

The yellow flag

There is somebody who needs to return to the loving hands of your Father

You have done your best, gone your worst. You have had it all, seen it all, done that. You even bought the t-shirt. But there is a sound from heaven

Jesus is calling your name like he called Adam, where are you? Genesis 3:9

There is somebody here who is dirty and filthy and thinks Jesus should not come close. You are the very one he came to church for

Illustration: the man in prison

A man did something so terrible he put his family to shame, and was sent to prison. When he was told he would be released early, he wrote to his wife

He wrote, I have done the unthinkable. If you don't accept me, I will understand

I will be released tomorrow and will drive past our house. If you want to accept me, put a yellow flag on the tree in front of the house

If I don't see a yellow flag, I will know you have refused me, and I will accept my fate

On release he took a bus home. Some students were on the bus and he told them what he did. There was no dry eye. Even the driver was crying

Nobody got off at their stop. They all wanted to see whether his wife would accept him

As they turned into his street, on every door, every tree and every roof, somebody was holding a yellow flag. Come back home. What you did was unforgivable, but we choose to forgive you

I looked at heaven and saw Jesus holding a yellow flag

You cannot go back home into the hands of sin and Satan

2 Corinthians 4:4

  • Jesus, do for them what you did for me. Do to them what you did to me. Yank them off the hands of the enemy.
  • Every attempt of the enemy over your life is truncated now. You are bought with a price. Now you belong to God.
  • You foul devil, you have no place or portion with these ones.
  • I commit you to God. This is a beginning, a new beginning.

"One symptom of backsliding is that you begin to look down on the simple things that keep you on fire, calling a devotional 'just milk.' It's not about the information, it's about the consistency."
