designed to uplift and strengthen you in your
-
walk with God. Don't miss out. Stay with us until
-
the end for a rewarding experience. Let's dive
-
right in. Hallelujah. Are we being blessed so
-
far? Are we being blessed so far? Are we learning
-
Athena too? Are we learning? Are certain scriptures,
-
let me use this one, making sense to us? Have
-
I said anything that looks like the description
-
I made yesterday? Portals and dimensions with
-
water and the rest. Did I say anything like that?
-
Okay. Praise God. Hallelujah. I know for some
-
of us it may be new, but you have had us say
-
here that revelational knowledge is progressive.
-
Amen. So we are learning. Every one of us, we
-
are learning. Your pastors are learning. If you
-
met your pastors last five years, you will know
-
that we have grown too. And the Holy Spirit has
-
been helping us. Amen. Likewise, last five years,
-
you have grown too. Amen. Compared to today,
-
you have grown. You have gotten better. So that's
-
what the work of the Holy Spirit does to a believer's
-
life. He ensures that your life is not stagnant.
-
When it comes to the things of God, to do the
-
works of Jesus and greater works, he ensures
-
that there is consistent progress in your life.
-
Hallelujah. However, depending on your participation.
-
I was looking for the word yesterday. Participation.
-
Depending on your what? Your participation. So
-
somebody can get saved now. And in one year,
-
you can find him. He is far. Somebody can get
-
saved now. After five years, he is still complaining.
-
You people did not visit me. You did not message
-
me. Oh, this kind of church. Oh, you only love
-
me. Hey, you don't like us. Hey. No participation
-
or low participation. No or low participation.
-
So what I'm saying in essence is, we want to
-
see more, let's participate more. I want to see
-
more, I pray more. I want to know more, I study
-
the word more. Hallelujah. Every works and greater
-
works of Jesus, we do them more. Glory to Jesus.
-
Not less. Based on our participation. I believe
-
if you are online and you are following us, you
-
have been blessed so far. Yes, whether you are
-
in Africa, whether you are in Asia, whether you
-
are in Europe, whether you are in North America,
-
South America, Middle East, Antarctica, Australia,
-
everywhere you are, I believe you are being blessed.
-
And if you are online and you have received a
-
word from someone and the person is Around here,
-
you can send a message across, right, to any
-
of our social media platforms and we will get
-
the word and pass it across. And if it's for
-
the local church around here, also send the word
-
to any of our social media and we will get the
-
word across to the local church here. Hallelujah.
-
Yes, so in the things of the Spirit and in this
-
season of greater works that we are in, distance
-
cannot be a limitation. Hallelujah. glory to
-
god so the word receive was translated from the
-
greek word what lambano which means to do what
-
to take hold of okay acts chapter 1 verse 8 everybody
-
let's go acts chapter 1 verse 8 we are going
-
to take this session a little bit faster right
-
yes so um you ask why so that we can exhaust
-
this very fast and then um we might not The core
-
teachings about the gifts of the Holy Ghost.
-
Right? We might not exhaust them here. Right?
-
They are going to take time. So what we are going
-
to do is. We will touch a gift and its operation.
-
When we see this we know it is in operation.
-
We touch a gift and its operation. When we see
-
this we know it is in operation. Amen? So that
-
way we can compress time. So that we can have
-
long time to practice. Amen? In fact. We have,
-
we should be able to get an hour, right? We have
-
an hour at the end of today's session to pray.
-
We should be able to get one hour from this session
-
or at least 40 minutes from this session, if
-
it's possible. Then afternoon session, we have
-
two hours. In summary, what I'm saying is that
-
we should have like four hours. May the Lord
-
give us understanding. Amen. Yes. Prayers. Practice.
-
Receiving instruction. Who pray and pray until
-
there is clarity about a matter. Glory to Jesus.
-
Acts chapter 1 verse 8 now. See now. We said
-
that the word receive is what? Lambano right?
-
Which means to take hold of. Acts chapter 1 verse
-
8. But ye shall receive what? Ye shall receive.
-
Power, after that, the Holy Ghost is what? And
-
you know we've been coming from, I will send
-
the Holy Ghost. I will send the Comforter. And
-
we came to, from Acts now, chapter 2, where he
-
said he has received the promise of the Father,
-
the Holy Ghost, right? And he has shed forth
-
this, which you now hear and see. We have now
-
moved to repent and be baptized, you and all
-
your children, right? And then you will now receive
-
the remission of your sins, right? And you will
-
receive the gift, the Holy Ghost. Amen. So we
-
are now seeing in Acts chapter 1 verse 8. But
-
ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost
-
is come upon you. And ye shall be witnesses unto
-
me both in Jerusalem and in all Judea and in
-
Samaria and unto the autonomous part of the what?
-
Of the earth. I receive the gifts or I receive
-
the Holy Ghost. One of the things that the Holy
-
Ghost come with is what? Amen? So, that word
-
received that we say Lambano, what we are saying
-
in essence is that we are taking hold of what
-
has been made available or provided for us. Because
-
what Jesus said is that you will receive power,
-
right? After that, the Holy Ghost is what? come
-
upon you. So, the Holy Ghost is not coming upon
-
us or upon them empty handed. Amen? One of the
-
evidence that will show that a gift has been
-
received, that a gift has been taken hold of,
-
is what? Power. So, which means that power has
-
been provided. Now the believer will not only
-
receive, he will not only take hold of the Holy
-
Ghost, but he will also take hold of what? Power
-
that is with the Holy Ghost. Do you understand
-
what I just said now? Do you understand what
-
I just said? Let me repeat myself. We've come
-
all through promise of the Holy Ghost, indwelling
-
of the Holy Ghost, and then we now came to Acts
Acts 2 chapter mention
-
chapter 2, right? Where Peter was teaching that
-
Jesus has... He has died, he has been buried,
-
now God has raised him. And he's now seated,
-
verse 33, he's now seated at the right hand of
-
God the Father, right? And has received the promise
-
of the Holy Ghost, and has shed forth these,
-
which now you hear and see. Then now, and then
-
furthermore, in the verses ahead, he now says,
-
in his teaching now, right? After preaching the
-
gospel, he says, repent and be baptized for the
-
remission of your sins, that ye may take hold
-
of... The gift, the Holy Ghost. Now, we are now
-
reading further that in Acts chapter 1 verse
-
8 is that ye shall receive what? Ye shall take
-
hold of power. So, in essence, Jesus is saying
-
that power has been provided. Well, let me say
-
it this way. The man that has the Spirit of God
-
has what? Power. Because you can't take hold
-
of the Holy Ghost and not take hold of what?
-
Power. You can take hold of the Holy Ghost and
-
not see power, not because power has not been
-
provided, but you have not yet been taught, right?
-
Or it has not yet been brought into your understanding
-
that what you have received, there is power also
-
what? Provided. Glory to Jesus. Glory to Jesus.
-
Good. So, the word lambano, that word receive,
-
is to take hold of what has been what? Provided.
-
Has healing been provided? So what should the
-
believer do? Take hold of it. Casting out devils,
-
has he been provided? What should the believer
-
do? Take hold of it. The authority to preach
-
the gospel to nations, has he been provided?
-
So what should the believer do? Take hold of
-
it. Tongues and interpretation of tongues, we're
-
going to look at it. Has he been provided? So
-
what should a believer do? Take hold of it. Word
-
of knowledge, has he been provided? So what should
-
a believer do? Take hold of it. The fact that
-
we don't see it in manifestation does not mean
-
that it has not been provided. The fact that
-
we don't see it in demonstration does not mean
-
that it's not available. Hallelujah. It has been
-
what? Provided. So what should I do? I should
-
take hold of it. It has been provided. I should
-
what? Take hold of it. It has been provided.
-
I should what? Take hold of it. If you're online,
-
hear me. It has been provided. I should take
-
hold of it. Nobody ever collects a good gift
-
mindlessly. Never. Whether in the natural, in
-
any, no way. I can never come here and give you
-
a thousand dollars and then you just go this,
-
this. In Cyprus? No. You collect it and keep
-
sending me message. You send message, send message,
-
till December you're sending message. Even if
-
it does not concern me, we'll just be doing a
-
discussion that does not concern anything, you
-
know. It's just that thing that you gave me,
-
thank you. You see why? Because you have take
-
hold of what? Of the gift. Not only that you
-
have take hold of the gift, but you have maximized
-
the gift. So what I'm saying is, in Lambano,
-
it's not yet enough for you to do what? To take
-
hold of it. But walk in the reality of the gift.
-
Glory to Jesus. Walk in the reality. Because
-
you are conscious that you have received something.
-
And if you have received something, imagine the
-
illustration I gave. Woman of God now collected
-
the key. Do you think she will go and pack it
-
at home? 2026 version. July 15. limited, let
-
me put it again, limited edition. Do you know
-
what limited edition is? Only few are produced.
-
And the one that she received happened to be
-
the third one. And only five will be produced
-
globally. So you think she will go and pack it?
-
If she has to pay a taxi guy, anybody, Distance
-
is not a barrier again for her. We just entered
-
deep karpas. We want to feel how the thing gets.
-
She has taken hold of that gift and she is maximizing
-
it. What I'm saying in essence is when you take
-
hold of the Holy Ghost that has been given to
-
you and the gift in the Holy Ghost, Don't just
-
take hold of it and just lay there. Maximize
-
the gifts. Hallelujah. That's a word for somebody
-
now. That's a word for somebody. Because this
-
now. Acts chapter 2 verse 38. Let me say this
-
now. Acts chapter 2 verse 38. Verse 32. He says
-
that this is Jesus. This is Jesus. This Jesus
-
has got raised up, whereof we are all witnesses.
-
Therefore, being by the right hand of God, exalted
-
and having received of the Father and the promise
-
of the Holy Ghost, he has shed forth this, which
-
ye now what? See and what? And hear. Every time
-
the believer walks in the reality of the gift
-
that he has received, the product of that walkings
-
is that people will see and people what? Will
-
hear. Do you hear what I just said? Every time
-
a believer walks in the reality of what he has
-
a lambano, the product of that receiving is that
-
people will see and people will what? Will hear.
-
So what I'm saying in essence, contends that
-
the things you have received in the Holy Ghost
-
should be seen and should be what? Should be
-
heard. Never be shy about it. Lay hands on the
-
sick. Never be shy about it. Pray in tongues
-
and interpret it. Never be shy about it. Give
-
a word of knowledge. Never be shy about it. Give
-
a word of wisdom. Never be shy about it. Let
-
there be walkings of miracles. Signs, wonders
-
be done through your hands. And have no apology
-
for it. That's a strong word there, Lambano.
-
It's yours. It has been received already. It's
-
yours. And nothing can take it away from you.
-
So if tongues is yours. And interpretation of
-
tongues is yours. And we say let's pray in tongues.
-
Don't just be doing. You don't just go out and
-
come back again. They say, give a word. Man,
-
I did not receive anything though. And then they
-
give you a word. They say, can you rejoice? And
-
then you rejoice. Yeah! The gift that you have
-
received, you have taken hold of, right? One
-
of the evidences that will show that you have
-
received it is your ability to also give out.
-
Do you hear what I just said? Your ability to
-
also what? To give. We are going to look at Acts
-
chapter 2 verse 1 and 2. They speak as the Holy
-
Ghost gave them utterance. Do you know that if
-
they shut their mouth up, nothing will happen?
-
Nothing will happen. Glory to Jesus. So we see
-
that the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus
-
has brought a gift for us. Hallelujah. Glory
-
to Jesus. Brought a gift to us. So that gift
-
is the Holy Ghost. Luke 24, 47. Luke 24, 47.
-
So far so good. Is there clarity? Is there clarity?
-
Good. Luke 24, 47. And that repentance and remission
-
of sins should be preached in his name among
-
all nations, beginning at what? Jerusalem. Right?
-
And ye are what? And ye are what? Witnesses of
-
these things. Yes? And behold, I do what? I send
-
the promise of my Father upon you. But first,
-
tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem until ye be
-
endued with what? Power from where? On high.
-
What Jesus was still bringing more to their understanding,
-
provisions are made for you. You cannot just
-
be my witnesses without power. You cannot be
-
saved. You cannot just believe this gospel. You
-
cannot just receive the Holy Ghost without the
-
evidence of what? Of this power. That's just
-
it. Who are to receive? Not angels. Not some
-
spiritual entities. We men. Hallelujah. And where
-
will this gift be deployed? Where will it be
-
deployed? Where will it be used? Is it in heaven?
-
Are we using them with angels? Where will they
-
be used? Have you ever seen any healing crusade
-
in heaven done? Eh? Have we ever read in Malachi
-
chapter 61 verse 102 that a healing crusade was
-
held in heaven? No. The gift that has been given,
-
men are to receive it upon believing the gospel.
-
And those gifts that men have received, those
-
gifts are to be utilized where? On the earth.
-
Glory to Jesus. 1 Corinthians chapter 12. So
1 Corinthians 12 chapter mention
-
what are these gifts? What are these gifts? What
-
are these gifts? Can we pray in the Holy Ghost
-
that Lord, I take hold of all that has been provided
-
for me. Can we pray in the Holy Ghost, everybody?
-
I take hold of all that has been provided for
-
me and I walk in their reality. I have boldness.
-
I have boldness. I have boldness. To walk in
-
all that has been provided for me. I have boldness
-
to walk in all that has been provided for me.
-
In the name of Jesus, I have boldness. I walk
-
in all that has been provided. There is such
-
boldness of me. There is such boldness of me.
-
There is such boldness of me to walk in all,
-
in all that has been provided. I take hold of
-
them all. I take hold of them all. And I walk
-
in their realities. I walk in their realities.
-
In the name of Jesus. I walk in their realities.
-
In the name of Jesus. I walk in their realities.
-
All of them. All of them. All of them. Thank
-
you Holy Ghost. In Jesus name. Verse 1. 1 Corinthians
-
chapter 12 verse 1. Now concerning spiritual
-
gifts. Brethren. We're going to read verse 1
-
to 11. Now concerning spiritual gifts. Brethren,
-
I will not have you what? Ignorant. Ye know that
-
ye were gentiles carried away unto these dumb
-
idols. Even as ye were what? Ye were led. Wherefore
-
I give you to understand that no man speaking
-
by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus what? Accursed.
-
And that no man can say that Jesus is Lord, but
-
by what? The Holy Ghost. Now there are diversities
-
of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences
-
of administrations, but the same Lord. And there
-
are diversities of operations, but the same God,
-
who worketh all in what? In all. But the manifestation
-
of the Spirit is given to every man to do what?
-
To profit with all. For to one is given by the
-
Spirit the word of wisdom, to another the word
-
of knowledge by the same Spirit. To another faith
-
by the same Spirit. To another the gift of healing
-
by the same. Can you see all the things that
-
have been provided? By how many spirits? Same
-
spirits. How many gifts did we receive? One gift,
-
the Holy Ghost. We receive one gift, the Holy
-
Ghost. But in the Holy Ghost, we see so many
-
provisions. To another, the working of miracles.
-
To another, prophecy. To another, discerning
-
of spirits. To another, diverse kinds of tongues.
-
To another, the interpretation of tongues. But
-
all these work as one and self -same. How many
-
spirits? Same spirit. dividing to every man severally
-
as he what? As he will. So that word concerning,
-
that word concerning, that word concerning is
-
the Greek word peri. The word concerning is the
-
Greek word what? Peri, P -E -R -I. Concerning
-
is the Greek word peri. And what does it mean?
-
It's a word used for emphasis. It's a word used
-
for emphasis. And it means about. About. Regarding.
-
Perry. The word concerning is the word Perry.
-
Right? And it's an emphasis word. Right? And
-
what does it mean? About. Regarding this matter.
-
About this matter. Around this matter. Let me
-
say this to you. Amen. So we see it will be applied.
-
Particularly for names. For people. For places
-
or things. However, it's used for emphasis. Hallelujah.
-
When a particular distinction wants to be made,
-
a unique emphasis. So, when Paul will tell the
-
Corinthian church, concerning this matter, it's
-
almost like he's saying that, guys, pay attention
-
to what I'm about saying. I've said this before,
-
right? But I want to make emphasis on this matter,
-
right? Concerning this matter, This and this
-
and this and this I want you to do. Amen? Good.
-
So, now. 1 Corinthians 7 .1. Let's see. We'll
-
see where it's used. 7 .1. Can you see again?
-
He said, now what? Now concerning the things
-
whereof ye do what? 7 .1. Now concerning the
-
things whereof ye wrote, what? So which means
-
they wrote a particular matter to him and he
-
wants to give an emphasis on the matter. Is he
-
not? It is good for a man not to touch a what?
-
Prior to now, they've been touching women. Somebody
-
snitched on the church and sent a letter across.
-
We don't understand what's happening. For example,
-
in chapter 3, we see a guy. touching his father's
-
wife we see so many touchings happening around
-
by the way these touchings are not happening
-
outside the church the touchings are happening
-
where in the church brother shubundu has been
-
found touching sister shoko blackie Then Brother
-
Shunkui wrote a letter, right, to Apostle Paul,
-
telling him that, ah, in this church, there are
-
too many touching happening. Then now Paul will
-
say, now concerning what? The things where he
-
wrote unto me. So which means that we know, without
-
reading the things that were sent to Paul, we
-
know one of the things that was sent to Paul
-
is about touching. And he has started out by
-
handling the matter, right? By saying, it is
-
not good for a man not to what? Touch a woman.
-
Give us a second one. So that's verse 2. Even
-
though we're not going to go there. But nevertheless,
-
to avoid what? Fornication. He does not want
-
to use hard and wild and vile words. That touching
-
he means is that fornication is happening. That's
-
what he means. Right? You think he's just, I
-
taught you? You must be joking. And he said,
-
let every man have his own what? Wife. And let
-
every woman have her own what? Husband. Story
-
BT. Has he addressed on the matter of touching?
-
Yes. So his emphasis on the idea of touching,
-
right? To them. That they pay attention. Is that
-
every man have your. And every woman have your.
-
Own husband. Now concerning. So you see it's
-
an emphatic words. It's used for what? Emphasis.
-
Glory to Jesus. 1 Corinthians 8 verse 4. 8 verse
-
4. As concerning. Therefore. 8 verse 4. As concerning.
-
No verse 4. As concerning. Can you see? Perry.
-
As concerning. Therefore, the eating of those
-
things that are offered to what? In sacrifice
-
to idols. There's an issue on this and he has
-
to make emphasis on the matter. Right? We know
-
that an idol is not in the world and that there
-
is none other God but what? But one. Glory to
-
Jesus. So we see why he will say concerning.
-
He wants to bring their attention about a particular
-
what? Matter. Now, let's go back to chapter 12.
-
He now said, now concerning spiritual gifts.
-
Brethren, I will not have you what? Ignorant.
-
So the word gifts, the word gifts, when you read
-
in the original rendition, please try and verify
-
that. I think Pastor Victor has taught us that.
-
Pastor Emma has taught. Pastor Fred too has taught
-
us. Let's try and verify them. Amen? Good. The
-
word gifts there in the original rendition is
-
not there. Where is it? Now, concerning spiritual
-
what? So, in the original rendition, the word
-
gifts is not there. It's now concerning what?
-
Spiritual. Brethren, I will not have you ignorant.
-
Amen? Amen? Yes. So, we have said, anytime we
-
see that, we know that it has been added by what?
-
Translation. So, the word there is spiritual.
-
Now the word there is now concerning spiritual
-
brethren. I do not want you to be what? Ignorant.
-
So that word spiritual is translated from the
-
Greek word pneumaticon. P -N -E -U -M -A -T -I
-
-K -O -N. P -N -E -U -M -A -T -I -K -O -N. pneumaticon
-
or if you're using a version that said spirituals
-
right pneumaticos and that word pneumaticon or
-
pneumaticos is from two root words pneuma and
-
ticos pneumaticos is from two words pneuma and
-
what ticos or ticon Pneuma means spirit. We should
-
know this. Pneuma means spirit. And tichos. Tichos
-
or tichon means pertaining to the spirit. Pertaining
-
to, belonging to the spirit or things of the
-
spirit. Tichon or tichos means what? Pertaining
-
to what? So Paul would start out and say, now
-
concerning. The things pertaining towards the
-
Spirit. So we see that word pneumaticus for spirituals,
-
which implies the things of the Spirit, the things
-
in the Spirit, or the things by the Spirit. Glory
-
to Jesus. The things of the Spirit, right? Or
-
the things in the Spirit, or the things by the
-
Spirit. Where did we get in? By and of the Spirit
-
from the same chapter that we are going to go
-
through. Amen. And one is given the word of knowledge
-
by the Spirit. And one is given the prophetic
-
with the Spirit. So all these words. Amen. Good.
-
Romans 1 verse 11. Romans 1 verse 11. So far
-
so good. Is there clarity? So far so good. Is
-
there clarity? Is there clarity? Can you explain
-
this same thing to someone? Can you explain it
-
to somebody? perfect romans chapter 1 verse 11
-
for i long to see you that i may impart you somewhat
-
some pneumaticos so that you may be what establish
-
so paul is using pneumaticos For gifts. That
-
will come by what? Impartation. Amen. Romans
-
7 verse 14. We're going to read lots of scriptures
-
here. So let's try and be writing fast. Romans
-
7 verse 14. For we know that the law is what?
-
Spiritual. But I am carnal. Sold under what?
-
So pneumaticus is associated to what? Yes, spiritual
-
is pneumaticos. To what? To the law. This break,
-
I did not carry... Okay, when we go for break,
-
I will carry some things in my pocket. Amen?
-
Yeah, to the law. We just finished reading a
-
place now in Romans chapter 1. He associated
Romans 1 chapter mention
-
pneumaticos to gifts, spirituals to gifts. Now
-
he is associating spirituals to what? To the
-
law. Amen? Romans 15, 27. We are looking at different
-
examples where that is applied actually. Romans
-
15, 27. If it please them indeed that they and
-
they are their debtors, and if the Gentiles have
-
been partakers of their spiritual things, their
-
duty also is to minister to them in what? Immaterial
-
things. He is associating teaching. Teachings
-
to what? To spirituals. Amen? That's what he's
-
saying. He's associating what? Teachings to what?
-
To spirituals. Ministry. 1 Corinthians 2 .15.
-
1 Corinthians 2 .15. But he who is spiritual,
-
right? Judges all things. Yet he himself is rightly
-
judged by how many men? By no one. He's associating
-
spiritual to who? To the man. Amen? So far so
-
good. Are we following? Are we following the
-
different examples? Where different instances
-
where spiritual is used? Okay, good. Let's add
-
this now. Add this. 1 Corinthians 10 .3. Just
-
add it. 1 Corinthians 10 .3. All eat the same
-
spiritual food. Pastor Victor emphasized on this
-
very well during his teaching. From verse 1.
-
They partook from the teaching. That's spiritual
-
food. They were given food from the spirit dimension
-
and they ate. Right? He was talking about the
-
teaching of Moses. Amen? So, you see, he's associating
-
that to teachings, to preaching. Have you written
-
that? 1 Corinthians 10 .3. Add 1 Peter 2 .5.
-
Let me just give you the scriptures. 1 Peter
-

-
Spiritual understanding. Yes, you see, spiritual
-
what? Understanding. Galatians 6, verse 1, you
-
see, say, those who are spiritual. Those who
-
are spiritual should restore one in the spirit
-
of what? Gentleness. Lastly, Romans 8, verse
-
6. Romans 8 verse 6. Spiritually minded. Amen.
-
So far so good. We have done a good job on this.
-
Then we now come back to 1 Corinthians 12 verse
-
1. He said, I will not have you ignorant. That
-
word ignorant means agnoia. A -G -N -O -N -E
-
-O. I will not have you ignorant. A -G -N -O
-
-E -O. Agnoia. It means willful ignorance. To
-
ignore. Something is available, you are aware
-
of it and you have decided to what? To ignore
-
it. So you need somebody to bring your mind to
-
it and give you emphasis about it. See, I will
-
not have you ignorant about that sound. Amen.
-
I will not. So that word. It means what? To ignore.
-
A refusal to recognize. A refusal to recognize.
-
To be in the dark. As touching the things of
-
the spirit. Do you know why? Because a believer.
-
Has taken hold of the spirit. Right? Like we've
-
learned. But do you know the believer can be
-
ignorant of the things? And being ignorant of
-
the things. means that that believer will not
-
walk in them. Hallelujah. Yes, you will not walk
-
in them because you have willfully decided. So
-
when we say, can we pray in the Holy Ghost? Let's
-
pray in tongues. And you're looking at everybody,
-
you're sizing everybody from head to toe. Willful
-
ignorance. Say, please, can you give her a word?
-
Willful ignorance will come in. I don't have
-
a word. I don't have a word. You have intentionally
-
refused to recognize that which has been provided
-
unto you. Amen. 1 Corinthians 1 verse 5. 1 Corinthians
-
1 verse 5. How do we know? That in everything,
-
ye are enriched. He's writing it to Corinthian
-
church now. Why he would tell them in 1 Corinthians
-
12, right? I will not have you ignorant because
-
already he knows that they have these things
-
in them. Amen? 1 Corinthians 1 verse 5, he say,
-
that in everything, ye are enriched by what?
-
By him in all. See now, in how many utterance?
-
Talk to me. In how many utterance? So, how many
-
utterance do they have? All utterance. And in
-
how many knowledge? In all knowledge. Even as
-
the testimony of Christ was confirmed, what?
-
In you, seven. So that ye come behind in how
-
many gifts? In no gifts, waiting for the coming
-
of our Lord, what? Jesus Christ. Spiritual church.
-
All utterance. They are enriched in Christ. In
-
all utterance. In all knowledge. What Paul is
-
saying is that they have been taught. This church
-
is not a loquacious church in knowledge. They
-
have been what? They have been taught properly.
-
Yes, that's what he's saying. What he's saying
-
that you come behind in no gifts is that this
-
church is a church that have seen all the demonstration
-
of the things of what? Of the spirits. But yet
-
he's telling them, I will not have you what?
-
Ignorant. Amen. Now, verse 12 now. 1 Corinthians
-
12 verse 4. Because when you read verse 2, he
-
just addressed them from their past life, right?
-
He told them verse 2. Help us take us to verse
-
2. So that somebody will not say, why are we
-
jumping to 4? He said, you know that you were
-
what? Gentiles. So he's telling them that guys,
-
you are believers now. That's what he's just
-
saying that you are believers. Pay attention
-
to the things I am what? Saying. He was saying,
-
ye were gentiles, carried away to this what?
-
Dumb idols, however you were led. Three. Therefore,
-
I make known to you, right? He's still bringing
-
them into their reality of what? As believers.
-
I make known to you that no one speaking by the
-
Spirit of God, he's telling them that you have
-
the Spirit of God. No one speaking by the Spirit
-
of God can call Jesus what? Accursed. It's not
-
that you're calling Jesus, Jesus, I curse you.
-
Jesus, no, no, no. That's not what he's saying.
-
It's that when you disdain the gifts of the Lord,
-
when you disdain the things that have been provided
-
for you in Christ Jesus, you're already calling
-
Jesus what? Accursed. I said, no one can say
-
that Jesus is Lord except by what? The Holy Spirit.
-
So we see the workings of the Spirit all through.
-
Then now, four now. Help us, verse four. Verse
-
four. He now said that there are what? So, when
-
we connect verse 1 and 4, we can read it this
-
way together. You give us 1 and give us 4. Let's
-
connect verse 1 and 4 together. See, everyone,
-
let's read together. One, two, go. Now, concerning
-
spirituals, brethren, I do not want you to be
-
what? Ignorant. Verse 4. There are what? Diversities
-
of gifts but the same. So, what Paul is writing
-
to this church is to address gifts in the Holy
-
Ghost. Amen? That's what he's writing. This is
-
the emphasis he wants to make. He wants to make
-
emphasis on the gifts of the Holy Ghost. Nothing
-
more. Amen? Good. So now, let's go. Are we all
-
in verse 4? So, in that place, there are diversities
-
of gifts. That gift there, right? That gift there,
-
when you write it, it's called charisma. It's
-
called what? Charisma. That word there is what?
-
Charisma. Are we all there? Charisma is C -H
-
-A -R -I -S -M -A. Which implies endowment or
-
ability. I'll just say something now. endowment
-
or what ability charisma that word gifts you
-
see with an s right gifts is what charisma c
-
-h -a -r -s -m -a it means what endowment and
-
what ability say i have the ability everybody
-
i have the ability i have the ability i have
-
the endowment of the spirit in me and i manifest
-
them all glory to jesus And that word charisma
-
is not attributed to things that have been learned.
-
So we have doctor here. What doctor learned throughout
-
his six years of study, we cannot say is charisma.
-
Do you know what I just said? Charisma is innate.
-
Do you know what I said? Charisma is what? Is
-
innate. When we say something is innate, it means
-
it's what? It's natural. So what I'm saying in
-
a sense is that the believer has the natural
-
ability, the natural endowment of what? Of the
-
Holy Ghost. Let me move ahead of me. So which
-
means. I cannot come and gather you now. And
-
say I'm teaching you tongues. And interpretation
-
of tongues. When you do. Baba. Baba. Baba. Baba.
-
It means. Joy has come. Joy has come. Joy has
-
come. And then when you now say. Laka sera. Laka
-
sera. Laka sera. Masa suya. Laka sera. Masa suya.
-
Laka sera. Masa suya. Can you say Laka. This
-
is Laka. Sera. Sera. Connect it. Laka. Sera.
-
It means that the joy of God has come to the
-
believer. That is not charisma. Charisma is endowment.
-
An ability. Innate ability. I just said something
-
now. So which means, sir, when we receive the
-
gift, the Holy Ghost, what we receive, we receive
-
an innate ability of power. We receive an innate
-
ability to cast out devils. We don't need to
-
learn it. That is what Mark 16 says. Kid, I believe
-
it. This sign shall what? Shall fall. Did he
-
say he will go to the school of healing? Did
-
he say he will go to the school of casting out
-
devils? He will go and learn melina. And what's
-
the other one? That they are flying on wood.
-
That we walked during when we were small. Harry
-
Potter. Did he say he will go to the school of
-
witches? You learn how to fly. You learn how
-
to take off serpents. You learn how to lay. School
-
of laying of hands. Did he say that? He said
-
once you believe and just get saved, you have
-
received the innate ability. The endowment to
-
do the works of Jesus. What I'm saying in essence
-
now is you don't need to spend 10 ,000 years
-
before you start doing the works of Jesus. What
-
I'm saying in essence is that you can start the
-
work of Jesus the day, the moment, at the spur
-
of the moment when you get saved. Hallelujah.
-
That's what I just said. That is what we call
-
charisma. That's what gives there. And that's
-
what Paul was addressing to them. Guys, this
-
thing you have not learned it. It's already way
-
in you. Glory to Jesus. Then now, the word diversities.
-
The word diversities is from the word diaeresis.
-
D -I -A D -I -A -I R -E -S -I -S. Don't worry,
-
I'll give it to us. I just got another way now,
-
how we can quickly compress time. Glory to Jesus.
-
Yes, we'll submerge everything together as we
-
are moving. You got that time today? Ah, we must
-
pray, oh. Today. Ah, forget. We must pray. I'm
-
telling you, we must pray. D -I -A -R -E -S -I
-
-S. D -I -A -R -E -S -I -S. D -I -A -R -E -S
-
-I -S. which implies varieties, different, numerous,
-
more than one. Good, thank you. God bless you,
-
sir. You see, there are diversities of what?
-
Gifts, but the same spirit. So, diahiresis means
-
what? Varieties, numerous, different. Amen? So,
-
what he's saying is that what? There are varieties
-
of charisma, but the same what? Spirit. There
-
are varieties of ability in the believer, but
-
the same what? Spirit. So, the believer is not
-
a limited version of Jesus. In fact, let me say
-
it this way. The believer is an unlimited version
-
of who? Of Jesus. I'll just say something now.
-
You are not. locked up in your insides are varieties
-
of endowment. Which we will see and we will what?
-
We will hear. Are we all there? So diarist means
-
varieties. Are we all there? So different varieties,
-
endowment, abilities, resident in the believer.
-
But he now says something, but the same what?
-
Spirit. Which spirit? The spirit of God that
-
the believer has received. Where is the spirit
-
in dwelling where? In the believer. 1 Corinthians
-
2 verse 12. 1 Corinthians 2 verse 12. Now we
-
have received. Now we have what? Not the spirit
-
of where? What spirit have we received? Tell
-
me now, what spirit have we received? The spirit
-
of God that we might know how many things, that
-
we might know the things that are freely given
-
to us of what? Even God himself wants us, the
-
believers, to know the endowment that is within
-
us. Yes. He gave us the spirit that we may know
-
all the things that are freely what? Given to
-
us. 1 Corinthians 3 .16 1 Corinthians 3 .16 Know
-
ye know that there are temples of God that the
-
Spirit of God dwelleth where? In you. 6 .19 6
-
.19 What? Know ye know that your body is the
-
temple of the Holy Ghost who is in you which
-
ye have of God and ye are not your what? Ye are
-
not your own. 6, that's 620, right? 617. But
-
he that is joined unto the Lord is one what?
-
One spirit. 12 verse 3. Well, we just read now.
-
12 verse 3. Wherefore I give you to understand,
-
no man speak by the Spirit of God, calleth Jesus
-
the cause, that no man can say that Jesus is
-
Lord, but by the what? The Holy Ghost. So where
-
did the believer got the Spirit? At salvation.
-
same spirit so you see all this communication
-
is not another spiritual same spirit holy ghost
-
the spirit of god dwelling where in the believer
-
amen so now but now we see we're going to see
-
a repetition of words same spirit we need to
-
hold it i'll just say it here and then i don't
-
have to repeat it later same what spirit that
-
was saying that what same is autos automatic
-
a -u -t -o -s autos automatic same same is the
-
word autos why it shows uniqueness It shows uniqueness
-
and distinction. Thank you Holy Ghost. It shows
-
what? Uniqueness and what? Distinction. Acts
-
chapter 2 verse 36. So that we see where that
-
is also used. Acts chapter 2 verse 36. Therefore
-
let all the house of Israel know assuredly that
-
God has made with Jesus. With Jesus. This Jesus
-
that he has been communicating. So, Peter is
-
not communicating about another Jesus. If we
-
read this chapter, he has already spoken about
-
what? This Jesus. Whom ye what? Crucified, but
-
Lord and what? And Christ. So, another Jesus
-
that is not crucified. But he is giving a unique
-
identity to which Jesus. This Jesus that they
-
have crucified. Amen. So this same Jesus. Authors.
-
Same Jesus. This Jesus that they what? They have
-
crucified. Same person that they what? They have
-
crucified. Same what we see in verse 11. 1 Corinthians
-
12 verse 11. I told us that we may not come back
-
to it. But we will just see 12 verse 11. You
-
see. But all these workers that what? One. But
-
one and the same what? Spirit works all these
-
things distributing to each one individual as
-
what? As he wills. Same. Glory to Jesus. Are
-
we all here? Then now. Verse 5 now. So we understand
-
where we are coming from in verse 4 right? Is
-
it clear? Can we be able to teach it to somebody?
-
Good. Verse 5 now. And there are Differences
-
of administrations, but the same what? So if
-
we said the same, now you know what we mean,
-
right? We don't need to go and explain it again,
-
right? Good. So there are differences of what?
-
Ministries, but the same lot. In fact, I think
-
ESV has even already varieties of service, right?
-
But the same lot. In fact, now you see Amplify
-
say, and there are what? Distinct, just like
-
we said. Amen? but the same Lord. So that word
-
difference is the same thing that we've written,
-
diuresis, varieties. Amen? We have already written
-
that. Then administrations. Administration is
-
translated from the Greek word diakonia. D -I
-
-A -K -O -N -I -A. Diakonia. Administrations.
-
Diakonia. Do you remember what we read in Acts
Acts 2 chapter mention
-
chapter 2? That where Peter was telling them
-
that this now you see and what? And hear. You
-
remember where we read it, right? Good. So now.
-
Good. Here. Therefore being exalted in the heart
-
of God and having received from the Father the
-
promise of the Holy Spirit, he poured out this
-
which you now see and what? And hear. I had to
-
take us there because of something I will say
-
here now. Right? So administrations is diakonia.
-
Diakonia means to serve or to make available.
-
Diakonia means what? to serve or to make what
-
available you go to the restaurant amen and then
-
now you give your menu you choose your menu and
-
then after some time the guys now what they now
-
come to serve the menu to you they come to you
-
know present the food so diaconia means what
-
to serve to make available But in the context
-
of what he's now saying is that what? He's talking
-
about ministry. That word there, you know, administration
-
is ministry. Service. Service. Service. And what
-
is he communicating there? He's communicating
-
that when he says there are administrations,
-
okay, there are differences of what? Administration.
-
So if we put it here, we say there are varieties
-
of what? Service. How these gifts are what? but
-
the same what? The same Lord. Are we all here?
-
1 Corinthians 16 verse 15. Please stay with me.
-
Stay with me because from here we are building
-
our things that we will do now. 1 Corinthians
-
16 verse 15. I beseech you brethren. I beseech
-
you brethren in the house of Stephanas that it
-
is the first fruit of Achaia and they have addicted
-
themselves to the what? Ministry of what? Administration.
-
The service of the saints. That's the same word
-
there. Diaconia. Add these scriptures. Acts chapter
-
1 verse 17. Ministry of the saints. Service of
-
the saints. Acts chapter 1 verse 17. You'll see
-
the same thing there. And I've obtained part
-
of this what? Ministry. Diaconia. Acts chapter
Acts 2 chapter mention
-
2. Add these scriptures as extra references.
-
Acts 20, 24. Acts 20, 24. Acts 21, 19. Acts 20,
-
24. Acts 21, 19. Romans 11, verse 13. Romans
-
11, 13. Romans 12, verse 7. Romans 12, verse
-
7. Romans 12, verse 7. Romans 15, verse 31. Romans
-
15, verse 31. Ephesians 4, verse 12. Ephesians
-
4, verse 12, which we know. Colossians 4, verse
-
17. Colossians 4, verse 17. Colossians 4, verse
-
17. We're ready, right? 1 Timothy 1, verse 12.
-
1 Timothy 1, verse 12. And then 2 Timothy 4,
-
verse 5. Hallelujah. So where we read in verse
-
5, 1 Corinthians 12 verse 5, he said there are
-
differences, varieties and distinctions of these
-
services, offices, ministries, but the same what?
-
The same Lord. So he's saying that what? All
-
these functions are in where? Are in the Lord.
-
Hallelujah. He's not saying anything otherwise
-
there. Glory to Jesus. Mind you, we are coming
-
from same spirit. So we see same spirit, we see
-
same Lord. It will not be another spirit and
-
another Lord. Amen. So all that Jesus has been
-
communicating, the Spirit from the Father. The
-
promise of the Spirit from the Father. Same Spirit,
-
same Lord. Amen? Are we all clear on that? Are
-
we all clear on that? Glory to Jesus. Then operations
-
now. Verse 6. Operations. And there are diversities
-
of what? operations but it is the same god who
-
work at all in what what is the mean of diversities
-
diversities huh varieties right good thank you
-
with me so we see there are diversities varieties
-
of operations but same god so now the word operation
-
means energema The word operations is translated
-
from the Greek word what? Energema. E -N -E -R
-
-G -E -M -A. Actually, it's from the Greek word
-
energeo. Right? Energema from the root word energeo.
-
And you know what that means? It refers to what
-
is working. Ah! What is what? What is working?
-
What is active? What is effective? To show that
-
something is working. Operation. Energy. To show
-
that something is active. To show that something
-
is what? Is effective. In the believer, there
-
is an ability that is active. It's not inactive.
-
In the believer, there is something that is what?
-
Working in the believer that is something that
-
is effective. It's not passive. I just said something
-
now. So which means that the believer is not
-
a passive man. When it comes to the things of
-
the spirit. The believer ought not to be an ineffective
-
man when it comes to what? The administration
-
of the things of the spirit. You should be actively
-
in service. In fact, let me say it this way now,
-
as it just come to my head now, right? Be active
-
in service till you see Jesus. Be active in service.
-
Every time we meet you, you are hot. You are
-
ready to what? To serve us, to make something
-
available from the Holy Ghost. You see, in the
-
next hours, in the next minutes that are going
-
to come ahead of us, be active, be active. Once
-
we are saying, brother, can you give us a word
-
by the Spirit? serve us hot, hot, hot, hot, hot,
-
hot, hot from the Holy Ghost. That's what oppression
-
is. You show something that is what? Working.
-
That's the endowment we have received. The charisma
-
we have received, that charisma is what? It's
-
working. Hey, you're a believer and nothing to
-
show for it. What do you mean by that statement?
-
But it is the same what? the same god are we
-
all here are we all here thank you holy spirit
-
so add these references now just to to to give
-
you where you can find them philippians 1 22
-
philippians 1 22. Philippians 1 .22. 2 Thessalonians
-
2 .13. 2 Thessalonians 2 .13. Hebrews 11 .25.
-
Amen. Hebrews 11 .25. Luke 15 .12. Luke 15 .12.
-
Luke 15 .12. 1 Corinthians 12 .11. Are we all
-
there? So have we finished verse 6 now? We just
-
said diversity of operations, right? Then verse
-
7 now. Everybody go to verse 7 now. 1 Corinthians
-
12, 7. But the manifestation of the Spirit is
-
given to how many men? To every man to profit
-
with all. Hallelujah. It's given to what? To
-
every man. Amen. So you see, immediately he got
-
to verse 7. He had an extended conversation there.
-
Right? He didn't stop there. Because now if I
-
come and say, but the manifestation of the Spirit
-
is given to you, and I stop there to profit with
-
all, and I stop there, is the sentence complete?
-
It's not complete. Because if I say the manifestation
-
of the Spirit is given to you to profit with
-
all, you will want me to say the things, right?
-
You want me to continue. Then now verse 8, he
-
said, for to one, because you will ask, what
-
manifestation is given to me to profit? To bring
-
profit, right? Now, for to one is given by what?
-
The spirit, the word of what? Wisdom. To another,
-
the word of what? Knowledge. By what? By the
-
same spirit. To another, faith by the same what?
-
Spirit. To another, the gifts of healing by what?
-
The same. So you keep reading, you keep reading
-
down. So we find tongues, we have interpretation
-
of tongues, we see prophecy, we have word of
-
knowledge, we have word of wisdom, we have the
-
sign of spirit. We have gifts of healing. We
-
have walking on miracles. We have gifts of faith.
-
And then now, verse 7, he will say that all this
-
is called as the manifestation of what? The manifestation.
-
He didn't say the manifestations, but the manifestation
-
of what? So, in the believer, the believer does
-
not have many spirits that should be manifesting.
-
The believer has what? One spirit that what?
-
That manifests. However, when the manifestation
-
comes, it comes via what we call operations.
-
Glory to Jesus. That operations, we now see them
-
in administrations, in services, diversities
-
of operations, diversities of administrations,
-
right? The same thing we see. The same. So what
-
do we mean by verse 7 when we say the manifestation
-
of the Spirit? We're almost done. When we say,
-
we just have how many verses? We're in 7, right?
-
We only have, let's say, majorly we have verse
-
11. From 7, we just have verse 11. Amen? So,
-
when we now say manifestation, manifestation
-
is from the Greek word phanerosis. Phanerosis.
-
P -H -A -N -E -R -O -S -I -S. Phanerosis. Manifestation.
-
Right? Good. And that word manifestation means
-
to open up. Do you remember what we said we have
-
received? They give the Holy Ghost, right? So,
-
to open up. To open up. To lay bare. To lay bare.
-
To make visible. You remember what Peter said?
-
That which you hear and see. To make visible.
-
To make known. To expose to view. A full disclosure
-
of the Spirit. Hallelujah. That's what that word
-
manifestation is. A full disclosure. To make
-
bare. To make visible. To make known. What is
-
effective. To make known. What is working. To
-
make known what is active in the believer. That's
-
the word manifestation. Phanerosis. Amen. Hallelujah.
-
So where is this manifestation coming from? From
-
within what? The believer. Where is the manifestation
-
from? From within the believer. Because the Holy
-
Ghost is where? In the believer. The Allos Paracletos
-
is where? In the believer. So where will the
-
manifestation come from? From the believer. Let
-
me say that in simple terms. When the Holy Ghost
-
wants to manifest, where do you think the Holy
-
Ghost will be manifesting from? From within the
-
believer. The scripture says that ye are the
-
temple, what? Of the Holy Ghost. And the Holy
-
Ghost dwells where? In you. So if the Holy Ghost
-
now wants to manifest himself, he's manifesting
-
through who? so how can we know that you have
-
the holy ghost in you is when you now let loose
-
and allow the holy ghost to manifest himself
-
through what through you glory to jesus second
-
corinthians add these scriptures now to that
-
manifestation second corinthians chapter four
-
verse two second corinthians chapter four verse
-
two 2 Corinthians chapter 4 verse 2. 1 Corinthians
-
chapter 12 verse 7. So far so good. Are we all
-
on the same page? Can we teach it? Can you meet
-
somebody and teach the way we are doing it? Nancy,
-
can you teach somebody? So far so good. You can
-
teach it. Man of God, you can teach it. Good.
-
Doctor. You can teach it. Okay. That's why we
-
are gathered here. We do this. We have been doing
-
this from morning, from Monday, from Sunday till
-
now. So that we can what? Let me tell you. You
-
don't know something. Me, that I'm here. Probably
-
maybe I think I'm learning more than you. I'm
-
serious. Because there are certain things that
-
is here I'm seeing them. As I'm standing here,
-
I'm sincere. As I'm standing here, ah. It's here
-
that it's making sense to me more. It's not that
-
I've not studied though. Yesterday I went through
-
it. From throughout this week, I've been going
-
through it. I've been checking, I've been checking,
-
I've been checking. I've been checking till now.
-
It's also checking. And one amazing thing is
-
that I will leave this place, I will sit here.
-
How? How? How? So many things are connecting.
-
We'll see a manifestation now, in a bit now.
-
You know so many things are connecting. Praise
-
God. Now, I said I gave us what now? 2 Corinthians
-
4 verse 2, right? At 1 Corinthians 12 verse 7,
-
manifestation of the Spirit is given to every
-
man, right? To prove you it all. Romans 8 verse
-
19, you'll see another word, manifestation of
-
the sons of God. Actually, that particular place
-
we have learned here. Often they'll say, for
-
the earnest manifestation of the creation, of
-
the manifestation of the source of God, go and
-
manifest. That's not what that context is saying.
-
In fact, if you tell them that that context is
-
talking about when we will receive new bodies,
-
they'll say you are a liar. In fact, this your
-
doctrine is demonic. You know why? It's because
-
we have had it so much that that particular place
-
is saying that let's manifest ourselves. That's
-
not what he's saying. He says, how do you know?
-
Go and read the place carefully. You will see
-
it. Amen. However, the key word we're looking
-
at there is what? Manifestation. The exegesis
-
for another day. Amen. Have you written that
-
down? Have you written that down? Phanerosis,
-
right? And it's the same. Okay. Let me leave
-
that. Let me leave that. I will not come to it.
-
Because when you check. Okay. Let me say so that
-
we can add to it. You may tell somebody about
-
the scripture. That Romans chapter what? Romans
-
chapter 8 verse 19. When you go and check the
-
word manifestation in Romans chapter 8 verse
-
19. You won't see Phaneros there. What you will
-
see there is Apocalypse. Apocalypse. A -P -O
-
-K -A -L -U -P -S -I -S. Which means full disclosure
-
or revelation. It refers to the redemption of
-
the body. That particular place, Apocalypse,
-
is not Phaneroses. However, it's revealing, but
-
revealing what? The redemption of what? Of the
-
body. So when you say, the expectation, the earnest
-
expectation of the sons of men are awaited for
-
the manifestation of the sons of God. Everybody
-
rise. Turn into prayers. I manifest. I manifest.
-
What you are saying is that, I don't show with
-
my redemptive body. That place is not phanerosis.
-
Amen? Yes, so I needed to say that so that when
-
you meet somebody, you can be able to explain
-
and teach somebody on that. Glory to Jesus. Are
-
we all here? Are we all here so far? So that's
-
verse 7 now. He said to profit what? To profit
-
with all. He said the manifestation is giving.
-
is giving. That word giving means didomai. We
-
have learned it in this church. That word giving
-
means what? Didomai. Didomai. You remember we
-
said charisma is what? Is something in it. Right?
-
Is something in it within the believer. So which
-
means I don't learn it. When I learn something,
-
it means that that thing is given to me. Amen?
-
But when I don't learn something, Right? It comes
-
factory fitted. Right? So I don't struggle to
-
do it. Glory to Jesus. So the word giving in
-
that place is didomai. Didomai means that freely
-
giving without condition. You see why it has
-
to be charisma, right? Freely giving. Didomai.
-
D -I -D -O -M -I. It means what? Freely giving
-
without what? Without condition. To give someone
-
something for his advantage. That's the word
-
there. To endue someone. To completely furnish
-
someone. Nothing missing. Nothing broken. No
-
spaces. No empty rooms. Everything completely
-
was furnished. That's the word there, giving.
-
I say it's given to every man. To what? To profit
-
with all. Definitely we know that every man there
-
means what? Every believer. Does not mean that
-
unbelievers on the street, believers everywhere.
-
No, no, no, no. It means it's given to what?
-
To the man that has the Spirit of God. So which
-
means that the man that does not have the Spirit
-
of the Lord has not received what has been given.
-
Amen? Because now the man that has been given
-
unconditionally, the man that has been furnished,
-
the man that has been endured is the man that
-
brings profit in. Glory to Jesus. Yes. That word
-
profit with all is the word Sinfero. Sinfero
-
means, Sinfero is S -Y -M -P -H -E -R -O. S -Y
-
-M -P -H -E -R -O. Sinfero. Sinfero means to
-
bear together, to bear together, to bear together
-
for the common good. That the Holy Spirit is
-
manifesting himself through me for the common
-
good of the local church. Hallelujah. The Holy
-
Spirit is manifesting himself through me. Amen.
-
To bear together. with my brothers. The Holy
-
Spirit is manifesting through me. That's what
-
Sinfero means. To bear together for the common
-
good. For the advantage. To better someone. Let
-
me put it in English this way. To make someone
-
better. That's what profit with all. Write these
-
references for it. 1 Corinthians 6 verse 12.
-
You will see the same thing. 1 Corinthians 6
-
verse 12. 1 Corinthians 10 verse 23. 1 Corinthians
-
10 verse 23. 1 Corinthians 12 verse 7. Amen.
-
The gifts are given by the Spirit to what? To
-
profit others. You see what we say? What do we
-
mean by giving? That word giving. We said something
-
about giving. Did you not mind? It means what?
-
To freely what? Give without condition. So the
-
Holy Ghost, the gifts, right, will manifest freely
-
these things in the believer without conditions.
-
You see, that is why it's not good for you that
-
you now look at yourself one day and condemn
-
yourself and think it's not because you have
-
not prayed enough. That is why word of knowledge
-
is not flowing through you. That is why it's
-
not good enough for you to think it's because
-
you have not fasted 365 days, one quarter days,
-
or 365 one quarter days. That is why you are
-
not seeing the gifts of faith or working of miracles.
-
Because you see, that which has been given to
-
you, I'm speaking to somebody now, that which
-
has been given to you has been given to you freely
-
without conditions. And it's innate and within
-
you. It's your nature. And because it's your
-
nature, You know sleeping is natural to us, right?
-
You know sleeping is natural, right? Except maybe
-
you are experiencing some form of sleeping disorder.
-
Even people that experience sleeping disorder,
-
they still sleep. Have you ever met anybody that
-
says he has spent 25 years or 35 years or 65
-
years of his life, he has not slept? You have
-
not slept for three days, you will run mad. Have
-
you ever stayed awake? Is he awake or awoke?
-
Awake. Have you ever stayed awake for three days?
-
I know these guys in my school, secondary school,
-
they did a competition to see who will take the
-
highest number of Tramol. These guys, you know,
-
SS3 guys, sometimes, you know. So, this guy that
-
brought it, I know the guy very well. They have
-
a chemist in my town. So, he started bringing
-
some of these drugs. So, he brought that Tramol
-
to them and then they announced, let them do
-
competition. So, they did. The other guy, we
-
call him Sholi Gogo. You know, Sholi Gogo means
-
the guy takes solution very well. Right? Sholigogo.
-
That's how they named him. That's his nickname
-
within the school. So, they did a competition
-
with one guy. The guy took the trombone. The
-
other guy took the trombone. He went and slept
-
for two days straight. That guy woke up normal.
-
Sholigogo took his own and could not sleep. One
-
day, two days, three days, four days. I'm telling
-
you, life. Do you know what started happening
-
to him? We're coming back from kitchen with food.
-
In the reception room. From nowhere. See snake.
-
See snake. Snake is coming. Snake. But there
-
is no snake. He started hallucinating. He moved
-
to another level. He started picking letters
-
inside school. It's not the Draco. Every time
-
I sleep and wake up and there is this, I say,
-
God, thank you for the gift of sleep. Because
-
if there is no sleep, we will malfunction. Because
-
sleep is natural to the system. The same way
-
sleep is natural to the system, so also the gifts
-
of the spirit is what? Natural to the believer.
-
So which means, that the believer ought not to
-
struggle, the believer ought not to create conditions
-
for himself to see these things manifest. I just
-
spoke to someone's heart now. So which means
-
never be caught fasting for six weeks because
-
you want to go out and see a manifestation of
-
the Holy Ghost. I'll just answer the question
-
now. Never be caught. You know, guys, it's after
-
I had a 16 -hour encounter. That is when these
-
things just boom. They have been boom inside
-
you. It's just that the 16 hours that you did
-
just polished you and aligned you to them. It's
-
not the 16 hours that made them boom. They've
-
been boom, boom. It's just that you have not
-
known. They are there. So what I'm saying in
-
essence now is that, brothers and sisters, what
-
I'm saying in essence, in the next few hours,
-
when we say, give a word, don't come and say,
-
ah, it's not coming. It's not coming. No, no,
-
no, no, no, no, no, no. It's inside you. It's
-
inside you. Glory to Jesus. For our common good
-
soul, which means every time the believer refuses
-
to allow for the manifestation of the Spirit,
-
He is depriving us. You are not bringing good
-
to us. You are not making my life better. Often
-
I see us do this thing. They are saying, give
-
a word, give a word. You will not come and give
-
pastors words. You don't want to make our life
-
better too. So that's why now we too, we now
-
say, okay, pastors, let's gather ourselves and
-
then give ourselves. Amen. Let me say something
-
now. I just got something now. Don't ever feel
-
in the things of the spirit, there are some people
-
higher there that you cannot receive word for.
-
Let me tell you. I don't know the local church
-
you attend in your country. If that church has
-
asked bishop, red, retired, reverend, something,
-
something, and is the most holy of holies there.
-
The Holy Ghost can give you one billion instructions
-
to give the man. The only challenge is that based
-
on the protocols they put in place, you know
-
now, you know, you cannot have access. Because
-
back at home, they've made it that the only custodians
-
of the Holy Ghost that receive both prophetic
-
word, word of knowledge, and dispense it to the
-
church is only... So if you are a low -ranked
-
officer, based on their... If you are a member,
-
how dare you here? Let me say it. That you can
-
peep into the heavenlies and receive an instruction
-
for the man of God. Who are you? What I'm saying
-
in essence is that there is nobody old or young
-
that you cannot receive word for. You can receive
-
it for early. No. It may not make sense to Hannah
-
but tell her. Let her hear. Hear it. Amen. Yesterday
-
we were praying. The father held them. He was
-
praying for them. You think they are not hearing?
-
You think they don't know what's happening? I
-
miss my boy so they are not here. You think Tito
-
does not know what's happening? They say hold
-
your neighbor. The other day they say hold your
-
neighbor and pray for him. He held my wife and
-
he was saying Kabbalah, Kabbalah, Kabbalah. My
-
wife said, ah, wait. What's this boy doing? They
-
know what is happening. You can't receive a word
-
for them. Hallelujah. Yes. Profit. We make their
-
lives better. Are we all here? So now, verse
-
8 now. We're getting to the closure. Verse 8.
-
For to one is given by the Spirit a word of wisdom,
-
to another by the word of Spirit, knowledge,
-
word of knowledge, by the same Spirit, right?
-
Yes, let's read down 9. To another faith by the
-
same what? Spirit, keep paying attention to the
-
word, to another, to another. Let's go back to
-
8. For to one, amen, is given by the Spirit,
-
the what? The word of wisdom. Then to another,
-
the word of knowledge by the same Spirit, yes.
-
To another, faith by the same Spirit. To another,
-
the gifts of healing by the same Spirit, yes,
-
next. To another. the working of miracles to
-
another prophecy, to another design of spirit,
-
to another divination of tongues, to another
-
interpretation of what? Tongues. But all these
-
workers that one and the same self, same spirit,
-
dividing to every man severally as what? As he
-
will. So often people will say that what it means
-
to another, to one, to another, means that when
-
the Holy Ghost comes like this, you say, Ah!
-
You have been praying for two hours. Dick! prophetic.
-
You, 30 minutes, word of knowledge for two hours.
-
So you see, often that teaching, what it does
-
to the believer, it limits the believer. Because
-
we've grown to know that what you see, is what
-
there is to. So if you see word of knowledge,
-
it's only word of knowledge. It's wrong to move
-
from word of knowledge to prophetic. Because
-
that place is for others. In fact, others will
-
teach that the Holy Ghost will start you out,
-
for example, on the prophetic. When he sees your
-
faithfulness in the prophetic, he now moves you
-
to the word of knowledge. After some certain
-
time, he will say, my son, I'm now moving you
-
to walking of miracles. That's the teaching now.
-
I've said it here. We laughed at it. Somebody
-
thought, he said, there's a realm you must get
-
for you to operate in all the gifts of the Holy
-
Ghost. And he is in the realm now. But he said,
-
you people now, you are not yet in the realm.
-
When he was teaching this life, he said, you
-
people are not in the realm. Maybe now you're
-
in the realm of only the prophetic. That is why,
-
you see, he now explained that, you know, he
-
now differentiated between the prophets, the
-
office of the prophets, and then the gifts of
-
the prophets. Now you see, like the gifts of
-
the prophets is for everybody. Now that's why
-
utterance gifts is the first one you will see.
-
That one is common for everybody. Well, see,
-
for you to start seeing working of miracles,
-
he moved those ones to a dimension. And so everybody
-
said, hmm. And when he now, he said, he is functioning
-
in all of them. Seek out now. You know what it
-
is? Like, Baba don't arrive. Somebody still they
-
say, ha, when will I reach this level in my life?
-
I may die without reaching it. I bring good news
-
to you. I announce this to you. You are in all
-
the gifts. And all the gifts are in you. There
-
is no dimension. There is no level. There is
-
no criteria. We are all in the gifts. And the
-
manifestation, all of them is for us. So that
-
word to another, to one, to this, to that, is
-
not differentiating persons. Somebody who says,
-
how do you know? Did verse 7 tell us? Let's go
-
over to verse 7. Did verse 7, the subject matter
-
in verse 7 is what? The manifestation of what?
-
The Spirit. is given to what? To every man to
-
profit what? And we say every man there means
-
the believer. Amen? And we say the manifestation.
-
Does the manifestation of the Spirit look like
-
a name of somebody? Or does every man look like
-
some specific set of individuals? Amen? So who
-
is the believer? The man in Christ. Amen? So
-
the man in Christ is the one that sees the manifestation.
-
Amen? And we say that within the Holy Ghost,
-
verse 8, We have word of knowledge. We have word
-
of wisdom. We have healing. We have gift of faith.
-
We have working of miracles. We have tongues
-
and interpretation of tongues. And we are saying
-
that all this, the Holy Ghost will manifest them
-
in the believer. It's not saying that all this,
-
the Holy Ghost will apportion them to different
-
believers. How do we know? When you take the
-
word to one, Let's quickly round up now. When
-
you check the word to one, that word to one means
-
H -O -S. Horse. To one, H -O -S. Horse. In Greek,
-
H -O -S. Horse. And that word is used for a definite
-
article. Day. Day. T -H -E. It's a demonstrative
-
pronoun. As. That, what, which, who? Amen? Are
-
we all there? So when he says, for to one is
-
given by the Spirit, the word of knowledge is
-
given a definite what? Article. And that article
-
is not given to every man. It's given to the
-
Spirit. Amen? That the Spirit gives what? Word
-
of wisdom. Hallelujah. There's a definite article
-
there. Then now, when we now say by, where is
-
it? The word by, when you go to the next one
-
now, everybody, right? He said, the word of knowledge
-
by, what? The same spirit. And we said that,
-
that word by there is D -I -A, which means through
-
the spirit or because of. The spirit. So the
-
word of knowledge is given because of what? The
-
spirit. The word of knowledge is given through
-
the spirit. It's not specifying individuals there.
-
Glory to Jesus. It's not talking about individuals
-
there. It's talking about the subject matter,
-
word of knowledge, word of wisdom, and ETC, the
-
gifts. Amen? Are we all here? Are we all here?
-
To another. That word to another. When you check
-
the word. To another. It means. Are we all here?
-
It means. De. D -E. Another area is. Alo. So.
-
Diallo. D -E. It's an emphasis word. Morova.
-
Or additional words. Means order. Alo means order.
-
It can be saying. An individual there. He said
-
to another. What he's now saying is what? Moreover,
-
all the gifts that the Holy Ghost gives, right,
-
is this. Glory to Jesus. He said, how are you
-
people doing this? That is why we're taking it
-
together. Amen? Are we all there? So when we
-
see the phrase to one, to another, What Paul
-
will refer to, it means the gifts of the Spirit
-
which he mentioned earlier. He started out in
-
verse 7. He was not mentioning Paul. When Paul
-
wrote this to the Corinthian church, he never
-
mentioned that these gifts are splitted to different
-
people. No. You remember we read in 1 Corinthians
-
1 verse 5 that you come behind in no what? In
-
no gifts. And you have been enriched in Christ
-
in all. utterance all of them so you have not
-
so among you is not that you have been enriched
-
in some of them or some of you in some some in
-
some some in some no he said you have all of
-
it and because you have all of it he can't come
-
to chapter 12 and then begin to tell them some
-
of you have this some of you have that some of
-
you have this amen good so that is not what he
-
meant so his emphasis or his direction is at
-
the gifts that he has been speaking on earlier
-
glory to jesus Then verse 11 now, everybody.
-
He said, but all these walketh that one and self
-
same spirit dividing to every man severally as
-
he what? We already know what same spirit is.
-
Amen? Amen? Yes, so we already know what walketh
-
is. Walketh is energy. Amen? The same thing for
-
energy. Glory to Jesus. Same spirit we know.
-
All this we know. So the word dividing, the word
-
dividing there, we know it. It means diario.
-
Right? I have given us dividing. Separate. Right?
-
Good. Or to distribute. But now there is a place
-
there that says severally. Right? Dividing to
-
every man. Right? Severally as he what? As he
-
will. Glory to Jesus. That what every man there.
-
Let's write it down and we conclude. That what
-
every man there is. Hekastos. H -E -K -A -S -T
-
-O -S. Because often that place is interpreted
-
as what every man there severally is that is
-
the Holy Ghost that is the custodian. So today
-
he will realize that you have not prayed, you
-
will not see it. Tomorrow he realizes that you
-
have prayed, then he gives you. Another time
-
that you have not seen the word of knowledge,
-
he says, no, you must see prophecy. No, that's
-
not it. Amen? So, the word there, every man there,
-
I say this word, Hekastos, right? Which implies
-
each. Which implies each. And the word as he
-
will. As he will. You see, he gives to each as
-
he will. That word as he will is interpreted
-
to mean as the giver wants. Right? Sorry, it
-
can be interpreted to as the giver wants. But
-
rather, it's interpreted as bulimai. Write it
-
down. So, sorry for that. Hekastos means each.
-
That word, as he will, cannot be interpreted
-
as to mean as the giver wants. No, no, no, no.
-
That's not what he's saying. But rather, it's
-
interpreted as bulimai. B -O -U -L -E -M -A -I.
-
B -O -U -L -E -M -A -I. B -O... U -L -E -M -A
-
-I. Which implies what you desire. What you desire.
-
What you desire. What you want. To will deliberately.
-
What you desire. What you want. To will deliberately.
-
And be minded. So that word I said to every man
-
as severally as he will, right? Cannot be attributed
-
to the giver, but to what? But to the receiver.
-
Amen? It says, how are we coming to this? Put
-
Acts chapter 2 verse 45. Then you know how we
-
4 verse 35. Please put these scriptures. Acts
-
chapter 2 verse 45. Acts chapter 4 verse 35.
-
Write it down. John 6 verse 11. Are we all there?
-
Have we put the scriptures? Good. So, when we
-
just come in the last session by God's grace,
-
what we'll just do is this last line that says,
-
as he wills. Because this, where now, it will
-
take us into the things we are going to do. Glory
-
to Jesus. As he wills. And from there, we're
-
in the hands of the Holy Ghost. Amen? But as
-
we will. Can we rise to our feet and bless the
-
Lord, everybody? We appreciate you being here
-
today. We hope you carry this word with you throughout
-
your week. Until next time, stay blessed.
