The Gifts of the Spirit pt 7: The Power Gifts

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. that as the teaching of God's word

is going, you can receive healing? Do you know

that as the teaching of God's word is going,

you can receive a word for someone and the person

will receive because of you? Do you know that

there can be walkings of miracles as the teaching

of God's word is going? So when you come to church,

and the word of God is being taught, expect miracles.

When you come to church and the scripture is

being explained, expect healing. So it's not

until when we call you out, there is a time for

that and there's a season for that and we will

do that. But when the word of God is being taught,

regularly expect healing. Expect healing. Because

the scripture says it is the power of God. Scripture

is the power of God. So as we teach in this church

regularly, when pastors are teaching, do pay

attention that you can receive healing. You can

receive miraculous working in your life. Your

faith is set up for someone to receive as pastors

are teaching. So this morning, We'll be teaching

on the power gifts, right? The power gifts, which

we started from catatismus. And we said we'll

continue to build on it as we come to church.

We'll continue to build on it as we come to church.

You see, when you come to a church like this,

right, you need to be... You need to pay attention

to everything that is taking place, right? You

need to pay attention. When I mean paying attention,

whether you're in the cell meeting, whether you're

in church, whether you're in training center,

whatever you are, you need to, you know why?

Because what we are teaching, right, are lines,

are layers upon each other that helps you to

grow. That is why I insisted that the entire

chapter of 1 Corinthians 12 be read. Right? Who

knows why? Who can explain why? Why I insisted

after explaining that everything is connected.

Because what we reviewed in cell meeting, some

of those scriptures are from here. Right? Some

of us didn't read the book and we didn't do the

review. You see, to grow, you need wholesome

teaching. Wholesome teaching comes from every

meeting that the church puts in place. So in

the cell meeting, you see that we touch on ministry

gifts there, which I believe pastors will come

and teach much more about it, right? And that

is in the same chapter, right? We have that in

the same chapter, in chapter 12. So it means

that while you are learning the gift of the Spirit,

the ministry gifts are also being taught. We

read it in the book and it's being taught in

Selmite and will be taught. So by the time you

are done, you are ready for ministry. To minister

the gift of the Spirit and to understand these

offices and the ministry gifts. Do we get it?

So by that you would understand and grow. Hallelujah.

So let's be paying attention to whatever is being

done. 1 Corinthians 12, verse 1 to 31 is already

1 Corinthians 12 · chapter mention

read. It's already explained, read actually.

So 1 Corinthians 12, verse 1 to 31. Now a quick

1 Corinthians 12 · chapter mention

revision, right? We're going to quickly do a

quick recap of what we did in Karatismos because

some of us were not here for that meeting. And

we talked about that the spiritual gifts, What

we call the spiritual gifts, they are divided

into their operations. Their operations of the

spiritual gifts are divided into how many? The

operations of the gifts of the spirits is divided

into how many? How many? Three. Okay, what is

the first one? What is the first one? The second

one, you can chorus it. The second one, revelation,

right? Ultron's revelation. And what's the last

one? The power gifts, right? The power gifts.

The power gifts. And we can see that in verse,

we can see that from verse 9. So 1 Corinthians

1 Corinthians 12:9

12, verse 9. He said, to another, faith by the

same Spirit. To another, the gift of healing

by the same Spirit. Verse 10. To another, the

workings of miracles. Right? The workings of

miracles. So these, these three are the power

gifts. So if you're in that meeting, you should

write it down. That the power gifts are... In

1 Corinthians 12, verse 9 to 10. To another faith

1 Corinthians 12:9–10

by the same Spirit, to another gift of healing

by the same Spirit, to another the workings of

miracles. So these are the three things that

we want to consider today. Of course, we know

diuresis, right? Diuresis is diversity. Means

that there are diversities of operations. So

why do we have these three? Where did we come

from to arrive at Ultron's revelation and power

gifts? Go to that same scripture, verse six.

Verse six. It says, and there are diversities

of what? Operations. But it is the same God.

Who worketh in all. Diversities of what? Operations.

So it means that the things of the spirit, they

are ways by which they operate. It means working

out. Right? The word diversity is diuresis. And

the word operation is energema. I think we talked

about that. Energema. E -N -E -R. G -E -M -A.

Diuresis and edema, which is diversity of operation.

E -N -E -R -G -E -M -A. It's it from this word,

operation. Another word you can use for it is

workings. Workings. You can put it active working.

Actively working. Actively working. So it therefore

means that energy, ma 'am, right, will refer

to actions. Actions that take place for us to

know what is at work. So there are actions that

takes place. There are actions that takes place.

And it is from this word that we have these three

explanations, that we see that there's utterance

gifts, there's revelation gifts, and there's

power gifts. So it is from this word, operations,

that we have these three explanations. And but

Scott Steen has taught us, taken us through utterance

in Karatismos. Now, what are power gifts? Write

down. What are power gifts? What are power gifts?

You can write this down. God, through His Spirit.

God, through His Spirit. In us. God, through

His Spirit in us. Can intervene. God, through

His Spirit in us. He can intervene in the physical

affairs of men. God's true spirit in us, the

believer. That tells you that person is a believer.

It tells you that person has the spirit of Christ.

Can intervene in the physical affairs of men.

That takes place on earth. The physical affairs

of men that takes place on earth. So, while we

can give revelation and we can tell you God's

direction for your life, right? You might say,

oh, this one, Pastor knew it by the Spirit and

he has informed me and I grew. While we can pray

in tongues, right? And we can give interpretation

and we can give prophecy. And in your life, You

are working out that prophecy that you have received

according to the instructions of God. Right?

So you're working that out. As you have received

the prophecy, you are working in the prophecy

that has been said regarding you. Revelation,

you received the word of reason, word of knowledge.

There are gifts that is physically seen on the

spot. And that is power gifts. So, we can say

that it means that natural principle will give

way. to the divine power of God. Natural principles,

it will clear a way for the divine power of God

to have its course. Natural principles will give

way for the divine power of God to have its course.

Natural principles will give way for the divine

power of God to have its course. This is power

gift. This is how power gift function. So it

does not function in a way that you have to wait.

You see it on the spot. When someone has faith

for another person to receive, which we are going

to teach, the person receives. When they lay

hands on you, healing takes place. Because the

scripture established that these are the things

that are found in the spirit. There's the miraculous.

There's the miraculous. Genesis 18, verse 1 to

Genesis 18:1–8

8. Genesis 18, verse 1 to 8. Let's see. We say

Genesis 18:1–8

the natural will give way for the supernatural,

for the divine power of God to have its full

course. This is power. I'll read from verse 1.

And the Lord appeared unto him in the plains

of memory, and sat in the tent in the heat of

the day, and lifted up his eyes and looked, and

lo, three men stood by him. When he saw them,

he ran to meet them from the tent of the door

and bowed down towards the ground, and said,

My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight,

pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant.

Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and

wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the

tree. And I will fetch a mussel of bread, and

comfort ye your hearts, after that ye shall pass

on. For therefore ye are come to your servant.

And they said, So do as thou hast said. And Abraham

hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said,

Make ready quickly three measures of a fine meal,

knead it, and make cakes. upon the earth. And

Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetched a calf

tender, and good, and gave it unto a young man.

And he hasted to dress it. And he took butter

and milk, and the calf which he had dressed,

and set it before them. And he stood by them

under the tree, and they did eat. And they said

unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said,

Behold in the tent. And he said, I will certainly

return unto thee. According to the time of life,

and know, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And

Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind

him. And Abraham and Sarah were, Now Abraham

and Sarah were old, and well stricken in age.

And it ceased to be, With Sarah, after the manner

of women, therefore Sarah laughed within herself,

saying, After I am waxed old, shall I have pleasure,

my Lord being also old? And the Lord said unto

Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall

I of a short bear a child, which am old? Is anything

too hard for the Lord? At that time, At the time

appointed, I will return unto thee according

to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.

Sarah shall what? Shall have a son. Now, what

is taking place here is that Abraham and Sarah,

their family, they had a divine visitation. So

this is a divine visitation, right? If you see

from the beginning, it said the Lord appeared

to them, right? And in the appearance, we saw

three men, right? We saw three men. And what

was the news they brought through? They brought

a news, right? They gave an instruction. So we

can see that in the course of fellowshipping

with these three men, right? With these three

divine, we will call them divine visitors, right?

In the course of fellowshipping with them, you

see, while they ate, Abraham was there. They

ministered something to him. And what they ministered,

is what we see in the New Testament as the power

gifts. Why do we see it as expression of the

power gifts by the divine power of God? Because

in verse 9, right? I think verse 11 says it more

better. It said, Now Abraham and Sarah were old

and well -strengthened in age, and it ceased

to be with Sarah after the manner of what? It

means that she has reached a stage, by natural

circumstances, she is not supposed to have a

child. So by the time and season of life and

age, Sarah had bypassed, she had passed the stage

of anything natural taking place. So it would

therefore mean that the birth of Isaac was divine

too. Do we get it? It means that the natural

state of Sarah was bypassed to bring forth Isaac.

Are you with me? That is the expression of the

power gift of God because the natural was suspended

for the supernatural to have its course. Hallelujah.

So, When we talk about power gifts, you should

be expecting something in your life, right? Let's

say you're sick, that it will be suspended. The

natural situation and circumstance will be suspended

for the supernatural to take place. So if you're

expecting healing, expect that that disease will

disappear. That is what it means. So when you're

expecting divine healing and the power of God

to function is that it will disappear. You will

not see it again. So I'm building expectations

for you. I'm helping you to build expectations

so that when we call you out to come and receive,

you are expecting that as pastor lay hands on

me, this thing will disappear. That as pastor

touch my head, this headache will go for life.

You see, we have to build this expectation. Very

well in you. So that when you come to receive,

you can receive well. You can receive well. Look

at Sarah's reaction. She laughed. Will this thing

be? Will this thing be? Now let me show you something

as well. You can go and take time to read the

scriptures. And you can see it. I saw a pattern,

what I can call a pattern, not necessarily a

motif, but just one time I see it and I'm sharing

it, is that the same way the natural, right,

was suspended, of course, Abraham's heart was

still going on to her again and then she gave

birth, right? But it therefore means that by

the time, it wasn't like Mary's case. Right?

It's a fact that, okay, she stopped having the

possibility of having a child because of age,

but while Abraham still went on to her, she had

a child. Do we get it? So that's the natural

suspended than the supernatural harvest place.

Right? It's similar to the case of Mary. Right?

That one too, the natural was suspended for divine

to harvest place. That is the power of God that

came upon her, the spirit of God in upon her.

So this is the power gift. These things happen

in life. So build your expectations. If there

are things that you have used drugs, you have

used medicine, you have seen the doctor, you

have tried, and it's still there. Build the expectation

that when we call you out and lay hands on you,

it will disappear. Hallelujah. Are we together?

So the pattern I saw is that I observed there

is the same pattern that happened, right? While

Isaac painted the picture of Christ who is to

come, in the case of Christ himself, right? Through

the divine power of God, something happened.

Now write this down. This is different from decoy

or what some people call providence. This is

different from decoy. This divine power of God

working, power gift is different from decoy.

Some of you that are in training center, you

know what they call decoy. You know what we call

the providence. Decoy is when God uses the mistakes

of men and navigates, yet he brought forth his

plan. So decoy is when God uses the mistake of

men. While men are making mistakes, yet somebody

is believing and carrying on the message. Are

you getting it? So you can check across the scriptures.

You will see that while God is communicating

his message and men are planning to toil and

destroy that plan, someone was believing and

passing the message. Another one will believe.

In a generation, Caleb and Joshua. Right? So

that is decoy. God, despite your unbelief, right?

God will walk, you know, God will walk throughout.

That's decoy. And that takes time, right? Because

it has to walk through. how men are functioning

and all of that. Power give works instantly.

This is what we've seen. It works instantly.

It works on that physical issue. You see it take

place. You can write, it is the interruption

of the natural. It is the interruption of the

natural. It is the interruption of the natural.

Exodus 14. So we've seen, we can say that the

divine itself allowed this power to function.

Right? As we see in the case of Abraham, God

himself put it in place. God himself suspended

that which is natural in a man's life and family

and brought forth a supernatural plan. So let's

see Moses. You know, like I already said, you

have to pay attention to a lot of teachings from

Moses as you're teaching. Or as you are learning.

Exodus 14, 16. Just write the scriptures down.

Exodus 14, verse 16. Exodus 14, verse 16. Verse

Exodus 14:16 Exodus 14:16

21 to 22. Verse 21 to 22. Exodus 16 verse 13

Exodus 16:13–15

to 15. Exodus 17 verse 5 to 7. Exodus 17 verse

Exodus 17:5–7 Exodus 17:5–7

5 to 7. Now, Exodus 14, 16 says, But lift thou

up thy rod, and stretch out thy hand over the

sea, and divide it, and the children of Israel

shall go on dry ground through the mists of the

sea. Right? Now, this is not fiction. This is

not movie. Okay, this is not CGI. Okay, this

is the power of God at work. So something that

had never happened before took place there that

the sea would part and form walls. Now, I think

it says the sea formed walls around them and

they passed on dry land. That is the power of

God. That is the miraculous power of God functioning

for the deliverance of people. 21 verse, verse

21 to 22. And Moses stretched out his hand over

the sea and the Lord caused the sea to go back

by a strong east wind. All that night amid the

sea dry land and the waters were divided. And

the children of God went into the midst of the

sea upon the dry ground and the waters were a

wall unto them. on their right and on their left.

This is the divine power of God that is still

at work today. It's still at work today. Right?

We see the physical being suspended for the natural.

Exodus 16, 13 to 15. We'll run a little bit.

Exodus 15, 13 to 15. Exodus 16, 13 to 15. As

you just pray, you know, just be praying in your

hearts. Pertaining circumstances that you thought

have been difficult, that God, that these circumstances,

this natural, will give way to the supernatural.

As you are reading those scriptures, be praying

in your hearts that these natural circumstances

that has been abiding, that by the power of God,

it will give way to the miraculous power of God.

Now look at this one, another one which is quite

historical, 16 verse 13 to 15. And it came to

pass that at the evening, quails came up and

covered the camp. And in the morning, the dune

laid round about the host. And when the dune

that lay was gone, was gone, behold, upon the

face of the wilderness, there lay a small round

thing, as small as a whole frost. It means that

they saw something they had never seen before.

Something that they had never ate before. Something

they had never experienced before. They didn't

have a name for it. They said this has to be

manna. Then Moses gave them maybe an explanation

to that word. He said, this is the bread from

heaven, the bread of God that God has provided

for you to eat. So we see divine provision, right?

Power gift can make divine provision available.

Power gift can what? Can make divine provision.

Some of you, we have believed for you. and something

has happened in your life. You see, there's a

way this teaching will get to. I'll be calling

some of you to come and share your testimony.

You know why? Because sharing increases the faith

of other recipients. When you share, it increases

the faith of other recipients that have been

saying, is this thing real? So they will see

it in your life. They will see how it happened

and they will be ready to receive. So there will

be a time we have to share. You know, we've not

really given more time to testimony, but we have

to share because in Karates, a lot of people

receive. A brother was sharing with me on Friday

and, you know, some of you have shared with me

how divinely the power gift of God. When we tell

you that you should call your parents back home,

we are not saying it because it's not a way to

end the service. It's not a way to end the service.

It's a way to tell you that call them because

we expect it will happen. We expect that it will

happen. So sharing raises the faith of the recipients.

And as well, it increases the faith, right? Of

we that administers it. Of you that administers

it. Do we get it? So when you lay hands on someone

and the person got healed, right? Don't pray

for someone and the person... You just forget

about it. No. Right? Ask. You know, some of you

are scared. What if I ask? The person says he's

not. You deny it. Ask. Ask the person. When you

pray for someone to receive him, call the person.

Have you been healed? How is it? Ask the person.

The manifestation, the demonstration comes. See,

even if you ask, let me tell you, I'll share

my experience with you. I pray for someone, right?

And I just met a person in the hospital in Astana

here. And I prayed for the person. And after

some time, I just feel it. After some time, I

prayed for the person and I went to meet the

guy. And the guy is not a believer, right? He's

not a believer. And the brother told me his mom

was having cancer. So he brought her down from

their country to be treated. And I just, in Astana,

I just blocked him and just prayed for him. And

after some time, I called him. And he just, how

is your mom? He now told me that she passed.

Right? He said, she passed. Now, I begin to,

because then, that was quite a time. I begin

to, there's power gifts. I begin to stop. Within

my spirit, immediate, you will not stop. He said,

you continue. He said, you continue. Right? You

continue. Say, you don't understand what happened

in this context. But that does not stop your...

It's God that is at work, right? Through you,

right? Your responsibility is to keep laying

hands. Your responsibility is to keep praying.

Your responsibility is to keep functioning in

that ministration of the gift of the Spirit.

Right? You will see the healing. Daddy, I sat

down. I took time. I started thinking. Say no,

say no. He said, you don't understand the entire

context of what happened. You just met the guy.

You just administered to him. Right? So you don't

understand. So just keep doing it. So I never

got myself discouraged. After that time, if I

see anybody again, I'll still pray for the person.

Right? So don't be discouraged. Don't be discouraged.

Don't be discouraged. Have I seen the one that

we have prayed for and the person got healed?

Yes. Many. We pray for your praying, they get

healed. We pray for this person, they get healed.

So the power gift is your duty there is to keep

administering it. Do we get it? Your duty is

to keep desiring that the supernatural will continue

to prevail in natural circumstances around you.

That's your duty. And that is what we are calling

you to do. So as someone who administer this

as a believer, you must keep expecting that surrounding

me, Now, there's a point I wrote here, which

of course I'll still read. I wrote here, I said,

you do need to have some special formulas. The

reason why you always want to think that you

have to go back to pray, you have to do some

72 Psalms, you have to first go and check your

life, you have to first, you know, sanctify yourself

and do three days of fasting is because it has

not become a regular practice in your life. So

if I had stopped, right? I'll stop. It means

that probably the next day I'll try it. I'll

be doubting it. So if I stop the moment that

person says, ah, since I prayed, I will start

doubting. That was doubt set in at that moment.

But when I continue to practice, there is no

doubt. There is no doubt. So you don't need some

special formula to work it out. Right? Moses

did not say, guys, wait. Let me go and pray and

fast for seven days. Or let me go and do this.

He administers the power gift, the miraculous

on the spot. He administers it there. As the

instructions come, he administers. So power gifts

are not something that you go and come and say,

let me go first. It's doubt that it's working

though. When you see the circumstance in the

natural, you do what? You lay hands. You heal.

Hallelujah. 1 Kings. 1 Kings 17. Which I think

I touched a little bit upon in Karatismos. 1

Kings 17. You will see something in Elijah's

life. 1 Kings 17. Verse 7. Now, just go to verse

11. Just go to verse 11. It's 1 Kings 17, verse

1 Kings 17:7–16

7 to 16. Actually, 1 Kings 17, verse 7 to 16.

1 Kings 17:7–16

Write that down. Then we can start from verse

11. I know God will heal somebody here. I believe

strongly that he will heal someone here. Some

of you have circumstances that you have held

on to and you have doubted. But the power of

God will begin to work that circumstance out.

Verse 11 says, And as she was going to fetch

it, he called to her and said, Bring me, I pray

thee, a mussel of bread. So they are in a dying

circumstance. Israel was in a dying circumstance

facing the Red Sea. Right? They are in a dying

circumstance because there's no more provisions.

But look at what Elijah said. He said, And Elijah

said unto her, Fear not, go and do as thou hast

said, but make me thereof a little from it, a

little kid first, and bring it unto me, and after

make for thee and for thy son. Look at the next

statement. He said, For thus saith the Lord God

of Israel. The priority of me shall not waste,

neither shall the cruise of oil fail, until the

day the Lord send rain upon the earth. Where

did Elijah get this one from? Go to verse 8 and

verse 9. He says, And the word of the Lord came

unto him, saying, Arise, get thee to Zarephath,

which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there. I

have commanded who? A widow woman there to sustain

thee. So it means that God was communicating

something to him that there's abundance somewhere.

Somewhere I've made an abundance. God is communicating

that I have made what? Abundance somewhere. Did

the woman know that? No. But the man of God knew

it. Right? So when the woman came and when Elijah

came and the woman was saying, This is what's

in the natural. This is what is available. Did

you get it? She said, in the natural, this is

what is available. And in the natural, we are

about to die. But the man of God had a divine

word. Hallelujah. See, I have a divine word.

I have a divine word that I can work in the supernatural.

I have a divine word that I can work in the power

gifts. I have a divine word that I can heal the

sick. I have a divine word that miracles can

happen through me. Hallelujah. The man of God

had a divine word. So what did he do? He said

that divine word. He said, Ask. He said unto

her, For thus saith the Lord God of Israel, The

barrier will not waste, neither shall the cross

all fail until the day. That was the divine word.

That there is abundance somewhere, though she

cannot see in the natural. He brought it to pass.

Say, I bring things to pass in the supernatural.

Things in the natural are giving way for the

supernatural through me. So what did we see there?

We see that Elijah received a word from the Lord.

That's the first thing. He received a word from

the Lord. That is why he said you have a divine

word. That the things of the Spirit functions

through you. You have a divine word. That the

things of the Spirit does what function. Elijah

had what? He received a word from the Lord. Verse

8 and 9. He received a word. That there's somewhere

the supernatural is already taking place. You

just need to go there and bring it to the physical.

That was what he did. Right? He said, there's

some who have made abundance provision. She can't

see it. But you as a man of God, when you get

there, bring it to pass in the natural. That

is what we do when we walk in the power gifts.

In so many circumstances that are surrounding

you, they are already solved. You don't know.

They are already solved. Oh. What you need to

do is to bring it to pass in the natural. Let

us see it. Let there be a display of the healing.

Let there be a display of the abundance provision.

Let there be a display of the miraculous. Things

around you are already responding. It is you

that will make it visible. So Elijah received

a word from the Lord God, verse 8 and 9. The

second thing is that it is a word that there

is abundance. It is a word that there is abundance.

For you is the world that the supernatural walks

through you. It is the world that the supernatural

walks through you. If I may say, the world is

the world of abundance. There's abundance, supernatural.

Pay attention to circumstances around you. There

are many of us that healing passes through you

and you let it go. Like some healing should have

been administered by you. You just allow the

person to walk away. Thank you, Jesus. Pay attention.

When people come around, pay attention. There

are some things that you should be ministering

to people, but you are letting them go. Those

things are supposed to build your faith as you're

ministering them. You're letting them go. Do

we observe that Elijah did not go back to meet

God and say, let me go and meet God first. If

that word is still sure. You know, some of us,

when you are praying, when you say, let the person

be healed, let the person be healed. You say,

let me go and fast. You are going back to ask

God, God, is the things of the Spirit still in

me? Can we walk in it? Some of us, some people

will not even make it worse. Will you give it

to this person? What is will you give it to this

person? That is what you do when you say, I want

to go back three days, seven days of prayers,

take oil, water, mix it together, shake it. Pour

it on your head or you come and pour it. You're

wasting time. Somebody who knows the power has

released the person. Before you came back, the

person has received healing because you are planning

formulas. It doesn't work that way. So you don't

go back to ask God. You don't go back to ask

God and say, God, is he available? No. You administer

it because it's a sure word. It's certain that

it's active, ever present, ever working. In you.

Is active. Ever working. In you. Now there's

one thing about this gift as well. There's one

thing about this gift. I think. Pascosti hinted

us on it. That these gifts. Work together. They

work together. Right. The power gift. The revelation

gift. The. The. Ultron's gift. They work together.

you will see that actually there was a pronouncement.

There was an utterance. Do we get it? There was

an utterance. So what we see there is that Elijah

said an utterance. He said, as long as God liveth,

right? Thus saith the Lord, this oil will not

fail. This abundance, it remains until the day

rain that will bring the natural one. Right?

would come to pass. So he said, this supernatural

will continue until the time that everybody wants

the natural things will join it. So there was

outrance. So power gift also comes with what?

Power gift comes with what? Outrance. That's

when we are healing the sick. We are calling

the name of the disease, calling the place that

is feeling the pain and we are saying something.

Thus said, The Lord. It works with all trans.

We are saying something to that disease. We are

saying something to that circumstance that it

will cease. So the power gives us to work with

all trans here. You can add the scripture Acts

Acts 3:6–7

chapter 3 verse 6 to 7. Acts chapter 3 verse

Acts 3:6–7

6 to 7. Some of the scriptures, we'll come back

to them again. but to see. You will see that

even Peter spoke something. He said something,

right? So you will not just do, touch the person

and walk away. That's faithlessness. Like you

are not sure of what you are doing. See, touch

the person. That's not how to administer healing.

See, that's not how to do it. There's an oppression

as with these functions. So, when you are administering

these things, right, you are saying something.

Someone called you, right? Someone called you,

said, ah, they are going to chase me out of my

house so I don't have rent and all of that. You

can, the gift of faith functions in a way that

you just, don't worry. God is making a provision.

Right away, God is making a provision. The person

who dropped the call called you back. He said,

Provision has been made. Provision has been what?

Has been made. I have been preserved in that

house. This is how it functions. Because you

said it. So if you didn't say it, you say it

in your mind. Where is the person's faith built

up? Where is the edification in the things of

the spirit? The things of the spirit must what?

Edify. The gift of the spirit edifies, isn't

it? It edifies. So the person who is receiving

is edified. Then the person has expectation to

see, right? Some of us, one of the things that's

used to do, let me just share with us, is for

people who are still growing. Just an example.

So you receive a word for someone, right? Receive

a word for someone. You did not share it, right?

You have seen by revelation that God is going

to work certain things out through that brother.

You did not share it. You doubted it. Someone

else now shared it, right? Because you refused

to alter it and bring it to pass in the natural.

Ah, me too, I saw it. Ah, I was about to tell...

You did not edify the person. The person will

just be looking at what are you talking about.

You never gave me an entrance that edified me.

Right? But you know that that thing was true.

You saw it. True, right? You knew it within your

spirit. You now became the confirmer. Instead

of you to be the one who is administering it

and others will confirm it. Right? So you must

utter, you must say something. Right? You must

say something. Acts chapter 3, verse 6 to 7.

Acts 3:6–7

Then Peter said, silver and gold. Right? Is that

natural? Is silver and gold natural? Okay. Silver

and gold, maybe the guy needs money for some

operation, right? Maybe the guy needs some funding,

you know, to do some surgery, right? The person

has been scheduled to go into the theater for

a number of days. But silver and gold, you can

say you have none, but see what you can give,

just like Peter gave. He said, silver and gold

have I none. But as such that I have, which is

supernatural, as such that I have, give ID. In

the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, do what?

Rise up and what? And walk. So you say what you

want to see when it comes to the power give,

right? This is what I want to see. I want to

see healing. You are healed. There is no more

pain. There is no more helmet. You say it. As

much as I have, I give, healing, you receive.

There is no more lack in you. You will go to

those offices and they will respond. They don't

even know how they are responding to you. It's

the miraculous power of God at work. He said,

as much as I have, as such that I have, I give

it in the name of Jesus Christ. Rise up and do

what? And walk. Now. Look at what Peter now added

to it. What did he do? He took him by the right

hand. And what? And lifted him. These are things

that happen through the power gift. He said something

and aided the man up. So all trans. is important

in administering the power gift. We're going

to explain the three of them one by one, but

you must know that this utterance is important.

It's not something that is done unconsciously.

It's not something that is done in passing. It's

not something that is done, you know, haphazardly.

That is why when you come, we want to administer

to you, we ask you questions, right? We ask you

questions. What is the circumstance? We will

not just say, oh Lord, is healed in general.

No. What is happening? Tell us. And when you

say it, that thing is addressed directly. Hands

can be laid on legs, laid on shoulders, laid

on head. So we see all trends in this. Now, since

we've seen divine provision, let's see again

something. So we say faith for divine provision,

right? In Elijah's case, faith for divine provision.

Now, if you move further to verse 17 and 24.

1 Kings 17, right? Verse 17 to 24. Something

else again happened in the woman's life. You

know? She just seems to have too much coming

around. She just seems to keep having these reoccurring

issues and something. And imagine someone that

has administered supernatural, she almost wanted

to say he's not a man of God. Let me take you

to the verse. Now, go to verse 24. It said, And

the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know

that thou art a man of God, and the word of God

in thy mouth is truth. You ate manna, because

I can liken what she ate to manna. Can we liken

that? Yes. That's divine provision. What was

taking place in the house, we can liken it to

manna. You did not believe. So, when another

problem now came, right? They now solved that

one. Maybe she's doing at the mouth of one or

two or three witnesses. Maybe that's what she's

trying to do. But do you observe that consistently

Elijah continued to minister? You must be consistent

in these power gifts. Let it be your regular

place. Be consistent. The more you do it, the

more it functions. The more you see it, the more

you get used to it, the more it becomes your

natural. It becomes your natural. You must become

regularly. Someone asks you for this, you pray

for the person. The person calls you again, there's

circumstances. Pray for the person. Minister

the gift. And it came to pass after these things

that the son of the mistress of the house was

sick and his sickness was so sore that there

was no breath in him. And she said to Elijah,

what have I done to you, O man of God? And thou

come to me to call my sins. You know, this is

the ideology then, right? To call my sins to

remembrance and to slay my son. Now, if you go

to verse 22. He said, the Lord heard the voice

of Elijah and the soul of the child came back.

He said, 21. He said, and he stretched himself

upon the child three times and cried unto the

Lord and said, O Lord God, O Lord my God, I pray

thee, let this child's soul come into him again.

So he entered the supernatural and said, bring

this child back to life. Power gives divine provision.

What do we see here? Power gives what? Healing.

Or the miraculous, right? Because the child was

dead, right? But he said it's as good as there

was no life in the child, right? So we see that

within a man's life. Now, this is what makes

much attention goes to this kind of people in

the scriptures because of the power gifts. But

every believer can do what? Can work in the power

gifts. Can you begin to pray in the Holy Ghost?

We'll stop here. Can you just begin to pray?

I just want you to pray in tongues. Circumstances

in your life in the natural that you want the

supernatural to take place, can you begin to

pray in tongues and put them into order? Can

you pray in tongues? Circumstances in your life

that have delayed for long. Circumstances in

your life that have dragged for long. Circumstances

in your life. Can you pray? We appreciate you

being here today. We hope you carry this word

with you throughout your week. Don't forget to
