Believers’ Meetings and the Demonstration of the Things of the Spirit (Part 2)

Welcome to NECF Sermons. Each message here is

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. This morning I got to the office and

then a thought of one woman came into my heart.

And I sent her a voice note. So I sent her the

voice note. And I told her, sorry, I've not been

able to reach out because of this and this and

this. How are you doing? How is your family,

your husband and children? You know? And I said,

by the way, the last week I was trying to reach

out to you so that if you are around, we could

see what's the updates regarding your work. So

she sent a feedback, a voice note to me, giving

me the feedback about the walk and ETC. So I

now sent a voice note to her. It was a word of

knowledge, hallelujah, and a word of wisdom joined

together. And I sent a voice note to her, and

I told her, this is what I feel regarding this,

this, this, this, this, this. But, you know,

if you can go this way and this way and this

way, You know, you can be able to have this and

this and this and this and this. And I came home

and she sent a voice note. So when I sent the

voice note to her, she was on her way to see

her boss. And so the voice note I sent to her

was already what the boss has made as the solution

to the decision she should make. Amen? She went

there and they told her all the updates she needed

to know. And they gave her one week to make decision

about it. Amen. So she sent me the feedback and

I told her it's okay, no problem. Later in the

evening, I'm going to call her. Praise God. And

we will talk about it. Amen. And we believe that

the Holy Spirit will give her direction from

it. Praise God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. So there

was no way on earth, humanly possible, that I

would be able to know that. Never. In fact, she's

not even supposed to come into my thought patterns.

I should be thinking about my wife. And then

the job I'm doing. The bulky work they've given

me in the office. Those should be what should

be consuming my head. Hallelujah. I just answered

someone's question now. Oftentimes, the Spirit

of God brings people to your heart. Randomly.

Not that you spoke, not that you thought about

them. He just brings their names to you sometimes.

Sometimes he flashes their faces to you. Amen.

When that experience happens to you, and you

cannot yet find more instruction to why the names

are coming, please, let me counsel you by the

Spirit of God. Start praying for them. Do you

hear what I just said? Start what? Start praying

for them. Hallelujah. When names come to your

heart, when people come to your heart, when places

come to your heart, start what? Praying for them.

Praise God. Hallelujah. Good. Where did we get

there? I don't know. So from believers meeting,

right? I'll just say this. We don't need to write

this. Just hear me. From believers meeting and

from this meeting, hallelujah, from now until

cataclysmos, we are going to have people full

of joy in all the services. Hallelujah. Glory

to God. We will have people that suddenly will

just get themselves into prayers and prayers

and prayers and prayers and prayers into the

next day. Hallelujah. We will have people that

will just have burdens, desires for the demonstration

of the things of the Spirit. We will have people

that through their hands, healing miracles are

happening. Hallelujah. We will have people suddenly

just stuck in one place and they are having visions

and then trances by the Spirit of God. Hallelujah.

We will have people get into places and then

pray for people and baptism of the Holy Ghost

will come instantly upon them with evidence of

speaking in tongues. Hallelujah. Praise God.

That is why we are having these meetings that

we are having. Our brother said something. He

said often when the supernatural happens, you

can never in any point connect it to the natural.

Hallelujah. You will know that this is indeed

a walking of the spirit of God. Amen. Praise

God. So today. Today, by God's grace, we are

handling something. Believers' meetings are meetings

for speaking believers. You can write this down

now. That's what we're treating today. And then

before we get into what we'll get. Believers'

meetings, Holy Ghost meetings, are meetings for

speaking believers. Believers' meetings... and

meetings for what? For speaking believers. Believers

are ought to use their tongue. Hallelujah. Praise

God. You remember on Sunday we wrote something

that the Holy Ghost demonstrated himself in what?

Number one, in what? In utterances. So today's

meeting, We are writing a subtopic that believers

meetings are meetings for what? For speaking

what? Believers. Can you say believers meeting?

Believers meetings are meetings for me to speak.

Are meetings for me to declare the mind of God,

the will of God, the purposes of God that the

local church is edified. Glory to God. Hallelujah.

So we say the Holy Ghost in believers' meetings

demonstrates himself in utterances. And when

we say in utterances, we mean that things are

going to be said under the inspiration of the

Holy Ghost. Let me repeat myself. When we say

the Holy Spirit will demonstrate himself in utterances,

we mean that these words are going to be what?

Set under the inspiration of who? Of the Holy

Ghost. You see, we didn't say they are going

to be set by the believer. We said they are going

to be set under the what? Inspiration of who?

Of the Holy Ghost. What do we mean by that? We

mean that the Holy Ghost will be speaking through

believers in such a meeting. Praise God. We mean

that the Holy Ghost will be what? Will be speaking

through who? Through the believers. So who will

be inspired to speak? Who will be inspired to

speak? No, no, say I. Who will be inspired to

speak? So who has the choice to speak? Who will

act on His will to speak? I, the believer. Hallelujah.

So in Holy Ghost meeting, the Spirit of God is

speaking and you are the one that He is speaking

through. Amen? Hallelujah. Let me repeat myself

again. In believer's meeting, the Spirit of God

is what? Is speaking, but He is speaking through

who? He is speaking through me. Why? Because

the Spirit of God dwells where? In the inside

of me. Our brother says something. Often when

God will speak with the prophets, they are not

doubting whether it's the voice of God or not

the what? The voice of God. He will speak with

Moses as unto face to face what? Communication.

Praise God. But today, he does not need to speak

from the heavens again. He speaks from where?

He speaks from where? From my inside. Hallelujah.

Can you say, I have a hearing ear by the Spirit

of God. I have a seeing eye by the Spirit of

God. I have a perceiving heart by the Spirit

of God. Can we turn that to prayers in two minutes,

everybody? Can we turn that to prayers? Because

the things we are doing in the next minutes will

require us to pay attention to hear. It will

require us to pay attention to see. It will require

us to pay attention to perceive. Can you pray

for yourself? I have a hearing ear by the Spirit.

I have a seeing eye by the Spirit of God. I have

a perceiving heart by the Spirit of God. Oh,

thank you, Holy Ghost. Thank you, Jesus. In Jesus'

name we pray. So, when we say the Spirit of God

demonstrates Himself in utterance, we mean He

demonstrates Himself in tongues. Please write

this down. He demonstrates Himself in what? In

tongues. In tongues and interpretation of tongues.

He demonstrated himself in tongues. Tongues and

interpretation of tongues. And then in prophecy.

That's what we had in the utterance gifts. Amen.

In tongues. Tongues and interpretation of tongues.

And in what? And in prophecy. Hallelujah. Praise

God. Amen. 1 Corinthians chapter 12 from verse

1 Corinthians 12 · chapter mention

7. Let's run this and then we pray for one another

and minister one to another. 1 Corinthians chapter

1 Corinthians 12 · chapter mention

12 from verse 7. But the manifestation of the

Spirit is what? Is given to every man to profit

with all. Hallelujah. The manifestation of the

Spirit is given to me to do what? To bring profit

to Pastor Victor. To bring profit to Pastor Emmanuel.

To bring profit to Pastor Takunda. The manifestation.

Hallelujah. So, prophecy is to what? Profit.

Tongues and interpretation of tongues is to what?

Profit. So, when the Spirit of God speaks through

me, it's because He wants to bring what? Profit.

You remember we read in Hebrews chapter 10, right?

Hebrews 10 · chapter mention

That we provoke one another unto what? On to

love and what? And good works. Please, sir. When

I say I've done a business and then I've gained

from the business and I come to share the profit

from you, with you, what do you think I'm trying

to do? Huh? Okay, I'm pointing you to the business.

Yes, sir. What again? Please, help me. Yes? Yes,

mommy? Okay, mommy say I'm blessing her. Okay,

good. That is a long route now. What is that

I am blessing you called? Huh? I am... In Nigeria,

there is something that we use. Just show me

some love. You know, when you hear... Pastor

Victor, please, show me some love. Do you know

what that means? I will not say the people that

always use that kind of statement. Amen? When

I come and share profits with Pastor Emmanuel

from a business that I've done, right? And I

call his line. I say, how far? Don't use this

thing though. It's only us that use it. And I

say, Emi. I say, Emi, how far? Where are you

there? He said, I just came, I said, please branch,

branch CIU. I said, why Allah don't show like

that? And the Allah, let me say this, because

it makes sense to you. And the Allah, some little

profit of $500 ,000. And I'm just led in my heart

to just, you know, show you some love. Give you

like, let's say, $200 ,000. And you see, Pastor,

I might just do like this. Do you think Pastor

Emma will think I hate him that's why I'm doing

that? Let me tell you. If you want, the whole

of you should gather and advise him that I will

soon kill him. He will say, let me what? Kill

him. How about with the things of the spirit?

Do you know that God, from his knowledge, from

his wisdom, from his mind, that he can bring

an instruction from Pastor Victor to me that

no money on this earth can be able to provide

it. That he can provide help. that no man on

this earth can be able to what? Provide unto

me. When we gather, we are not only provoking

one another, but we are speaking life unto life

to each other. We are bringing God's mind to

each other. We are bringing instruction. We are

bringing clarity. We are bringing light. We are

bringing strength to one another. So much so

that when we leave this place, we are not only

leaping and jumping and full of joy, but we are

living to come back again. Why? We know that

our brethren are always profiting us. That is

what the manifestation does. That every day,

I need my brothers. I want to profit them. I

want to walk in love towards them. That word

profiting is that I am walking in love. What?

Towards them. Hallelujah. Let's quickly finish

the verse now. See what it says. 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 gifts of healing by the same Spirit, to another

the working of miracles, to another prophecy,

to another design of Spirit, to another diverse

kinds of what? Tongues, to another interpretation

of what? Tongues. But all these worketh that

one and the self same Spirit, dividing to what?

Every man severally as what? As he wills. So

when believers gather and God is speaking, God

is bringing his mind, God is bringing instructions,

right? It's because there is something that should

happen in that atmosphere. From the Old Testament

to the New Testament, you will see laid down

experiences. Of God speaking with men. Hallelujah.

Bringing his counsel. Bringing instructions everywhere.

14. And then much more ahead. Hallelujah. So

what we see here. The demonstration of the things

of the Spirit in believers' meetings. Please,

let's listen from this place now. The demonstration

of the things of the Spirit in believers' meetings

take precedence from speakings. Do you hear what

I said? The manifestation of the things of the

Spirit take place via what? Via speaking in believers'

meetings. They take precedence by speaking. The

manifestation of the things of the Spirit, they

happen in believers meeting by what? By speaking.

And when we say speaking, we mean we are taking

advantage of our what? Our tongue. Hallelujah.

One of the things I got this afternoon as a product

of meditating on this message. Is that when things

go bad in your life, before you complain about

the bad things, say God's word over the things

first. Do you hear what I just said? That's a

word for somebody now. When things go bad around

you or in your life or in the life of people

around you, before you begin to complain about

them, say what God's word says about the things

first. Hallelujah. What I'm saying in essence

is learn to use your tongue to speak life over

things. Because the things that you will see,

the manifestation of the power of the Holy Ghost

cannot be seen in your life and in the things

around you if you don't learn to use your tongue

by faith speaking words. By speaking faith -filled

words over them. My head, oh, this cancer. Cyprus

will kill me. My father will die. My mother will

die. My brother, see, my head is blocked. Your

head will continue to be blocked. Nigeria is

hard. No, Nigeria is not hard for me. Timibu

will kill us. He will kill you. Everybody will

be living. You will be dead. I'm telling you

this. You see, let me tell you something. The

believer is a man that does not use his words

mindlessly. One of our pastors who said this,

imagine you come to this sister and you said

your big head and the head starts growing big.

What will you say next? Somebody says, you say

Jesus. What would you say? You use the word to

say it. What would you say? What would you say?

Heads grow small again. Understand that when

it comes to the things of the Spirit, what we

see take precedence from what? From speaking.

Hallelujah. 1 Corinthians 12 verse 3. Yeah. 1

1 Corinthians 12:3 1 Corinthians 12:3

Corinthians 12 verse 3. Let's read it slowly.

Amen. Everybody. Wherefore, I give to you to

what? Let's read it slowly. That no man keep

him quiet by the Spirit of God. Thinking by the

Spirit of God. Looking by the Spirit of God.

Sleeping by the Spirit of God. No man what? So

the Spirit of God has been given to the believer

to do what? To speak. Hallelujah. I have the

Spirit of God to what? To speak. God has given

me his spirit to what? To speak. To speak what?

That's the question. He has given me his spirit

to speak what? To speak life. To speak his mind.

To speak his will. To speak his purposes. Are

you writing what I just said now? God has given

me his spirit to speak what? To speak his mind,

to speak his will, to speak his purposes. So

if God gave me his spirit to speak his mind,

his will, his purposes, then when I'm in a Holy

Ghost meeting, I ought to be what? Speaking.

I ought to be what? Speaking. Today is a meeting

for speaking believers. 2 Peter 1, verse 20.

2 Peter 1:20

We know this now in this church, this verse.

2 Peter 1, verse 20, 21. Knowing this verse,

2 Peter 1:20

that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private

what? Interpretation. For the prophecy came not

in all time by the will of man, but the holy

men of God speak as they were moved by what?

By the Holy Ghost. We say in speaking meetings,

in Holy Ghost meetings, we are speaking believers.

The Spirit of God is giving room to demonstrate

in what? Autorities. What are the autorities?

Tongues. Yes. Interpretation of tongues. What

again? Prophecy. So we see that in Old Testament,

Luke chapter 24, where we often read, right?

Luke 24 · chapter mention

Luke chapter 24, verse 25 to 27. Beginning at

Luke 24:25–27

Moses and all the prophets, they spoke because

the Spirit of God did what unto them? Moved them.

Hallelujah. They prophesy that Christ will come,

Christ will be crucified, Christ will die, He

will suffer, right? He will be raised from the

dead and He will enter into His glory. How did

they know it? They were moved by what? The Spirit

of God. I just said something now. So which means,

in a Holy Ghost meeting, the Spirit of God now

does not come upon us to move us. Do you know

what I just said? The Spirit of God speaks with

us right from within us. So we don't need a movement

again. Hallelujah. You know, as you are sitting

like this, the Spirit of God can give you words

now for this sister. Hallelujah. Words that you

have never said before by the Spirit of God.

Things that you have never seen before. By what?

By the Spirit of God. And we will see it in the

next few minutes. Hallelujah. Amen. 1 Peter.

Write this as an extra verse. 1 Peter 1 verse

1 Peter 1:10–11

10 to 11. 1 Peter chapter 1 verse 10 to 11. So

1 Peter 1:10–11

when you see the walk of the Spirit of God throughout

the Old Testament, you will see him speaking

through prophets, through kings. Hallelujah.

And it didn't just stop there. We see that expressly

with the apostles. Amen. In the epistles, we

see his walkings littered everywhere. I wrote

a couple of scriptures here so that we can be

able to take them as references. Acts chapter

Acts 2:4

2 verse 4. Acts chapter 2 verse 4. Our brother

Acts 2:4

spoke to us about it. You know. That the room

was filled with the spirit of God. Can you give

us Acts chapter 2? And they were all what? Let's

Acts 2 · chapter mention

read it together. And they were. And they began

to sleep. And they began to think. And they began

to wonder. What did they begin to do? And they

began to, as the Holy Ghost gave them, utterance.

Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

Can you say this? I'm in a meeting. I'm in a

meeting of believers. The Holy Ghost is giving

me utterance. And I'm speaking right now. He's

giving me utterance. And I'm speaking right now.

He's giving instructions and I'm speaking right

now. He's bringing direction and I'm speaking

right now. He's bringing healing and I'm speaking

right now. He said these signs shall follow them

in my name. They shall speak in what? In new

tongues. Tongues have never been experienced

on the earth prior to the coming of the Holy

Ghost. There was no man on the earth that ever

spoke in tongues until the Holy Ghost came. After

the resurrection, new things came with the resurrection.

One of the new things that came with the resurrection

is what? Speaking in tongues and interpreting

those tongues. Hallelujah. This sign shall follow

them. He said, my name. They shall cast out what?

Devils. They will lay hands on the sick and the

sick will do what? Those experiences are believer

supernatural experiences. Lastly, and we begin

to minister one to another. Have you written

Acts chapter 2 verse 4? Acts chapter 4 verse

Acts 2:4 Acts 4:8

Please, can you give us 13 verse 2? Acts chapter

13 verse 2. Whilst they give us Acts chapter

Acts 13:2

13 verse 2, add this 20 verse 22 to 23. Acts

Acts 20:22–23

chapter 20 verse 22 to 23. And then add 21 verse

11. Glory to God. Glory to God. Glory to God.

Glory to God. Glory to God. Acts chapter 13 verse

Acts 13:2

2. You see, I'm keeping it. As they ministered

to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Ghost kept silent.

What did the Holy Ghost do? The Holy Ghost what?

How did you think the Holy Ghost said? How did

you think the Holy Ghost said? So that believer,

do you think that believer will be among them

or the believer will be a stranger from outside?

He will be among and what did the Holy Ghost

say? Separate me what? Prior to now. Did they

know anything about Paul and Barnabas going for

work of ministry? How did Paul and Barnabas Were

identified to be sent for work of ministry. Through

believers what? Meeting. And so for the work

where unto I have worked. I have called them.

Let me say it this way so that we can smile.

The Holy Ghost had to smidge on them. Amen. Yes

prior to now they never knew that there was a

work. And let me say it so that we can laugh

again. The Holy Spirit is about snitching on

somebody here. You know, there was a meeting

we had, sir. You remember? One of the pastors

gave a word to someone. And the lady went and

said that somebody gossiped to the pastors. Can

you imagine? And he said that by the Spirit of

God. She said, these pastors, In Catholicism,

one of the Catholicism. You know those groups

that we say pastors should minister. He gave

her a word and she said they went and snitched

her to the pastors. Sorry, there are certain

things if nobody snitched you to us, the spirit

of God will snitch you to us. Hallelujah. Praise

God. Say the spirit of God. God has given me

his spirit. God has given me spirit to speak

for his mind, to speak for his will, to speak

for his purposes, to bring instructions, to bring

direction, to bring healing, to bring strength,

to bring comfort, to bring solution to my brothers,

to the local church, to everyone around me. Can

we pray in the Holy Ghost? We appreciate you
