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. Glory. Glory. Glory. Glory. Glory to

God. Hallelujah. Before we start the message,

sorry, before we continue the message. Sorry

if you are new and this is your first time. In

this church, we are always drunk like this in

the Holy Ghost. There are two people here. The

Lord has been putting so much in your heart this

week. You know, regarding the work of ministry.

Most especially to the youths. You see yourself

teaching youths. Who are the people that pray

for you? Who are the people? Where is Victory?

Victory, join them. Your last week during service,

I saw it upon him. Amen. I saw Victory teaching

a group of youths. Praise God. Hallelujah. Come

on, join them. Come on, join them. I see you.

I see youths before you. Every one of us is close

to the work of ministry. But I see you specifically,

I see youth. I see youth before you. Yes. Hallelujah.

Please, Pastor Osaka, can we just pray for them?

Can you pray in the Holy Ghost towards them?

Can you pray in the Holy Ghost? Can you pray

in the Holy Ghost, please? Pray in the Holy Ghost.

Stretch forth your hands towards these people

here. I'm telling you. In the next few years

to come, you're going to see this prophecy is

a reality. Hallelujah. You will see them doing

exploits. You will see so many youths gathered

before them. I know what I'm saying and I know

what I've seen. You will see them so many in

multitudes. The words of their mouth as much

as carry power and authority. They are teaching.

And I hear people even ask questions. Where are

these ones from? We believe the things they are

saying. But where truly are they from? Because

the Lord is training them. The Lord is building

them. The Lord is equipping them. And the Lord

has prepared them for such a time as this. So

much of the supernatural back in the works of

their hands. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Holy

Ghost. Thank you, Holy Ghost. Someone here, you've

been desiring to see much more of the prophetic.

Right now, receive that. Receive that. Receive

that. Receive a seeing eye by the Spirit. And

receive a hearing ear by the Spirit. In the name

of Jesus, even as you're seated right now, your

desire regarding the prophetic, in the name of

Jesus, is strengthened much more. In the name

of Jesus, the Lord uses you for healing. In the

name of Jesus, In the name of Jesus, I pray for

you. In the name of Jesus, many are healed. Many

are healed through your hands. In the name of

Jesus. There is so much power of the Lord through

your hands to heal, to heal, to heal. That compassionate

heart, Jesus turns it. All the virtue for healing

is released in the name of Jesus. Thank you,

Lord. Thank you, Lord. We bless you, Jesus. Thank

you, Father. Thank you, Jesus. Glory to God.

Glory to God. Coming up to 1 Corinthians chapter

12. I have 18 minutes. So in these 18 minutes,

I still want to teach and I still want us to

do some things of the Spirit. Hallelujah. Is

that possible? All things are possible to Custon

since he believes. Amen. Praise God. I will introduce

what we will have and we will finish it on Wednesday.

Praise God. So I will encourage you to come on

Wednesday. Amen. Praise God. I will encourage

you to do what? Because there will be a mighty

expression of the things of the Spirit. Hallelujah.

Praise God. How did I know it? I saw it since

from yesterday. Hallelujah. Praise God. You know

this is not compared to what I've seen that will

happen this morning. And much more is happening.

Amen. Leaders, the people you gave word to, have

they confirmed that? By the Spirit of the Lord?

Glory to God. Hallelujah. 1 Corinthians chapter

1 Corinthians 12 · chapter mention

12. Let's run. Amen. Is this the kind of church

this NECF, these Near East people have? Yes.

I kind of like that church. Yeah, yes. 1 Corinthians

1 Corinthians 12:10

chapter 12 verse 10. If you're writing, You are

correct. We are continuing actually with the

teaching from Catechismos. Amen. This morning

we are talking about the gifts of prophecy. The

gifts of what? Prophecy. Hallelujah. So this

is gifts of prophecy, not the prophetic ministry

or the prophetic office. Amen. We are going to

teach that in detail when we come to ministry

gifts. Hallelujah. Amen. Yeah, so please, as

many of you that have been desirous to see more

of the manifestation of the prophetic, right?

Please stay tuned. Praise God. So we're going

to talk about the gifts of what? Prophecy. Turn

to the right and to the left and tell the person,

do you know you can prophesy too? What's the

person's response? Please ask the person, what's

the person's response? Ask the person, do you

know you can prophesy too? Yeah. Hallelujah.

Hallelujah. Praise God. Let's chorus something

here like a Sunday school. Chorus this in the

way they do it. Can we chorus something? Can

we say in Jesus' name? Everybody, let's raise

our hands. We'll do it like... Everybody. Everybody.

Please, by the way, let me tell you, when I teach

and I see you don't participate, I'll pick you

out. Don't be offended at that. Amen? Yes, that's

how I do it. Can I say in Jesus' name, in Jesus'

name, I believe that I have the Spirit of God

in me and I believe I have all His gifts in me

and I believe I can prophesy. I prophesy always

and every day. Say prophecy in motion. Yes. Praise

God. Yes, that's our reality. Amen. Okay, so

let's read 1 Corinthians 12 .10 now. To another,

the walking of miracles. To another, prophecy.

To another, discerning of spirit. To another,

diverse kinds of tongues. Actually, if you're

reading King James Version, you're going to see

that diverse is italicized. Originally, it's

not supposed to be there. Amen. It's kinds of

tongues. Praise God. And then to another, the

interpretation of what? Of tongues. Praise God.

Hallelujah. Let's read it again. To another,

the walking of miracles. To another, prophecy.

To another, discerning of spirits. To another,

kinds of tongues. To another, the interpretation

of what? Of tongues. So during the Karatismos,

one of the things that we've learned is that

the Holy Spirit It's the gifts. Amen. The Holy

Spirit himself is what? It's the gifts. Praise

God. And in the gifts, we now have gifts. So

in the Holy Ghost, we now have what? His diversities.

Amen. If you're not going to be writing, use

your phone. Don't be looking at me. Amen. Yeah,

so we write in this church. if you have not come

here with writing materials, they say, brother,

he said I was going to pray with. He came here

with a book and passed. Ah, the brother beside

that sister. Yes, you, that brother. Yes. You

know, the way your hair, I'm checking, are you

actually looking at me or not? I'm going to pray

with you, right? Yes, I'm led to do that. Praise

God. So, in Karatismos, we learned that what?

The Holy Ghost is what? Is the gift. And in the

gift, we now have what? we now have gifts. And

those gifts, we call them diversities of the

spirit. Amen? It's almost like I have a carton

and then inside the carton, I put different gifts.

What do they call this during Christmas? Hamper.

Okay. So, they give you a hamper. Right? And

inside, I hope the thing will not harm you. So

inside the hamper, there are different things.

Amen? So when we carry the hamper and give you,

we are not giving you only the carton. We are

giving you with everything inside what? The hamper.

So you have the hamper, you already have everything

inside. Praise God. So that's why we're saying

that the man that has the Holy Ghost has everything

in the Holy Ghost. So you don't have some things.

You don't have one thing. You don't have two

things from the Holy Ghost. You have how many

things? All the things in the Holy Ghost. So

let me ask, when a hamper is given to you, is

it yours or is it for your neighbor? It's yours.

So when we see you, Not using everything inside.

Are we to question you or not? Yes, we should

question you. I always give an illustration.

Where is Theodora and her group? Yes, I always

give an illustration. Right? And I gave them

that illustration and they gave me a perfect

answer. For example, we calculated their tuition

fees. And it's run to about how many million?

Don't be shy. How many million? Eh? 82 million?

No, it's not 22 million. It's more than 22 million.

It's almost 100 and something million. Everything.

Aside accommodation, NERA, please, not dollars.

Right? Yes. That is the tuition fees they are

going to use for six years. 100 and something

million NERA. Oh, boy. Do you know that you ladies

are millionaires already? But you know, I gave

them my illustration. I said, take that money

now to ICAS. And then you walk there. You know,

with 100 and something millionaires in Nigeria,

you're going to have bodyguards. Security is

360. And then you just walk in there and everybody's

questioning, who is this guy or who is this young

lady? And then you go in there, you know, and

I ask them a question. What is the highest thing

you have bought in ICAS? The most expensive thing.

And you say, how many? 1 ,000 TL, right? 200

TL? Confesso. Okay, let's say it's 1 ,000 TL.

And then you run into this place and you then

drop 100 and something million and just say,

use the rest. I just take 1 ,000 TL team and

then you just walk out of the place. And they

are calling you, come back, come back. No, no,

no, no, no, no, no. You say, I leave it to you.

And I asked them, what do you think the people

in IKAS will say? Some of them say, they will

say you are stupid. Some of them say, they say

you are mad. Some of them say, they say you are

foolish. I said, do you know that at the end

of medical school, if you're not careful, that's

how you'll be termed? Because this institution

is like a business sector and you come with 100

and something million and the equivalent of what

you're supposed to take out of it is 4 .0 and

you decide to go with 0 .4. What should we call

you? You're stupid. When we say you're stupid

and foolish, we're not insulting you. We're just

saying that you don't have sense to utilize.

You're not wise. We're not insulting you. Having

said that, sorry, I'm not insulting us. Do you

know every time you don't utilize the gifts of

the Holy Ghost, you are not wise? Praise God.

You are not what? You are not wise. Every time

you limit yourself from laying hands on the sick,

you are not what? You are not being wise. Every

time you are supposed to give a prophetic word

and bring instruction, don't sleep on me. Tell

your friend, don't sleep on me. Yes, I don't

want to point my hand to that direction. But

don't sleep on me. If not, I will ask you to

stand up. Every time, because this message is

very important. And if you are sleeping here,

question the demons are oppressing you so that

you won't hear it. And you are not wise. Every

time you refuse to be led by the Spirit of God,

you are not what? You are not wise. Why? Because

we know that you have the gift of the Holy Ghost

residing where? In you. Praise God. Hallelujah.

Are we good? The word prophecy. Is translated

from the Greek word. Prophetia. The word prophecy.

Is translated from the Greek word. Prophetia.

P -R -O. P -H -E. T -E -I -A. Prophetia. P -R

-O -P. H -E -T -E -I -A. And that word is derived

from a root word, prophetio. Just the same thing,

just add a U -E -O. Prophetia, from the root

word, prophetio. Prophetio. I'm not a Greek,

so. P -R -O, the root word, P -R -O -P -H -E

-T -E -U -O. Prophecy is prophetia. Prophetio

is prophesy. Is that clear? Is that clear? So

the word prophecy is from the Greek word what?

Prophetia. And it's derived from the root word

prophetio. Right? Prophetia. Prophecy. Prophetio.

To do what? To prophesy. Hallelujah. So what

does it mean to prophesy? To speak forth? Under

an inspiration. Hallelujah. To speak forth. Under

what? An inspiration. To speak forth. So you

meet a man that is drunk. With 10 bottles of

red label. Or red horse. Or white label. Right?

The guy suddenly starts behaving like a white

horse. Or a red horse. At least I've been privileged.

Our house I've been privileged to be beside a.

Biapalo. Local Biapalo. You know? Yes. So everything

is coming crude. We call that BKT. Right? Yes.

So the people that know BKT, they understand

what I mean. You know? Pastor Fred will always

say, is it Pastor Fred or Pastor Victor? He say,

is it Ruan Firhauna or Ruan what? He say, the

water from Egypt. You know? So when these guys

take that brukutu, right? What happens is that,

at least we have had lots of sin. I can remember

it. You will see them, they are under stupor,

right? Is it not? Don't, don't, please. If in

your past life you have been, just say yes. I'm

not trying to expose anybody. I'm just giving

an illustration. So, you know, when they drink,

they are under what? Stupor, influence, right?

And today start saying, God bless you. God bless

you. What do they start saying? Eh? Stupid things.

You know, they will start hallucinating. Some

of them, suddenly they will even start singing.

They will sing, hallucinate. Some of them will

fall inside gutter. Some of them will urinate

on their body. At least we've known the ones

that will sleep in the beer pallet till morning.

They will start speaking from the inspiration

of the bottle. The formula for that fermentation

will enter their head. let me say it this way,

their brain will be fermented and they will start

speaking rubbish. You see, in prophecy, you speak

forth by what? Inspiration. But do you know for

the believer, we know our inspiration. Hallelujah.

That our inspiration is from who? The Holy Ghost.

They do not be drunk with wine, wear it in excess,

but be filled by what? By the Spirit or with

the Spirit. Sorry. So I am filled with the Spirit.

The Spirit becomes my source of what? Inspiration.

Every instruction, every direction, everything

that will proceed forth will be controlled by

what? By the Holy Ghost. The leaders that minister

to every group here, they spoke under the inspiration

of who? The Spirit of God. Are we all here? So

it means to speak forth by the Spirit. To speak

forth by the inspiration of the Spirit. And if

you are writing, write it this way. And usually

is on the spur of the moment. Usually is what?

Is on the spur of what? Of the moment. Like right

now. Shimdi, shimdi, shimdi. Is happening now.

So you see now, what we are saying is that prophecy,

let me put it this way. Prophecy, right, is speaking

forth from the inspiration of the Holy Ghost

on the moment. Praise God. We are speaking when?

Now, on the moment. Are we all here? Are we all

here? So Acts chapter 2 now. Let's go to Acts

Acts 2 · chapter mention Acts 2 · chapter mention

chapter 2. Have we all gotten the definition

of prophecy? Have we gotten the definition of

prophecy? Good, perfect now. So let's move on.

Acts chapter 2, everybody. Let's start building

Acts 2 · chapter mention

now. Let's start building. Acts chapter 2. Acts

Acts 2 · chapter mention Acts 2 · chapter mention

chapter 2 from verse 16. Let's start reading

from verse 14 so that we can have a context to

it. Acts chapter 2 from verse 14. Be this known

Acts 2 · chapter mention

unto you and hearken to my words. For these are

not drunken as ye suppose, seeing it is what?

But the third hour of the day, 16. But this is

that which was spoken. Hallelujah. Which was

what? By who? So Prophet Joel spoke under the

inspiration of what? He spoke under the inspiration

of? The Spirit of God. What did he say? 17. And

it shall come to pass in the last days, said

who? God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all

flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall

prophesy, and your young men shall see visions,

and your old men shall dream what? Shall dream

dreams. So where is Peter quoting this from?

Amen? Because we understand, as a way of training

and teaching in this church, right, that Matthew,

Mark, Luke, John, and all the epistles, right,

all of them were written from where? Huh? From

the scriptures, right? And when we say the scriptures,

we mean what? Okay, Old Testament. Okay, keep

saying anything old. What is Old Testament? Genesis

2. Malachi. So if Peter is going to talk at this

point, because let's take ourselves and stand

where Peter was standing. At this point, there

is nothing called book of Acts, right? Because

this was written, right, in the life of Peter.

Praise God. So Peter will not quote from any

book. Peter will go and quote from where? From

Genesis to where? To Malachi. So from Genesis

to Malachi, the event that is happening in the

room. Where Peter saw its fulfillment is nowhere

from Joel. Praise God. Because he said, Prophet

Joel prophesied about this event that is happening.

That there is going to be a time that the Spirit

of God will be put and it will be upon everyone.

Hallelujah. Praise God. So now let's go to that

Joel. Joel 2, 28. Let's read Joel 2 .28. And

on Wednesday, we're going to build solidly on

this as a way of introduction. Joel 2 .28. And

it shall what? Come to pass afterwards that I

will do what? That I will do what? Pour my spirit

on what? On all flesh. But you see, what he said

in Acts, he said, and the Lord said. But you

see, Joel here is saying, I will pour out of

my spirit and all flesh, your sons and your works.

So you see, and it shall come to pass. This wasn't

Joel that is speaking. Praise God. This is God

speaking through who? And that is why you will

see the statement as though Joel is the one that

is what? Speaking. I will pour out of my what?

Spirit. But Peter said that, and God what? He

will do it. But when Joel was speaking this as

a word of prophecy, because now we're going to

build on it on Wednesday, right? The Spirit came

upon Joel and he is speaking as it were God is

what? He's speaking. Praise God. He said, your

daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall

dream dreams, your young men shall see what?

Shall see visions. Hallelujah. Say I speak under

the inspiration. Of the Holy Ghost. And I prophesy.

Under the inspiration. Of the Holy Ghost. I see.

By the Spirit. I hear. By the Spirit. I perceive.

By the Spirit. In the name of Jesus. Can we just

give thanks to the Lord? Can we give thanks to
