The Gifts of the Spirit 5 | The Believer's conference 2025 day 5

Welcome to NECF. We're thrilled you're here.

Make sure to stay with us till the end, where

we will share some great resources to deepen

your faith. Now, let's dive into this week's

sermon. Hallelujah. Praise God. In Acts chapter

Acts 2 · chapter mention

2, no wonder they heard them, they were declaring

the wonderful works of God. Because what has

been prophesied is now fulfilled. Hallelujah.

What has been prophesied is now what? Is now

fulfilled. So they will hear them declaring the

what? The wonderful works of the Lord. The mighty

works of the Lord. He said, that which has been,

Peter stood up and said, that which has been

prophesied by prophet Joel is now what you see

at work now. He's aligning with what was interpreted

in the tongues. Hallelujah. Praise God. So how

be it? When you speak in tongues, you don't speak

to humanity. You speak unto who? Unto God. But

unto God. But unto God. But unto God. This information

only should set you free. That every time you

are speaking in tongues, Every time you are speaking

in tongues, you know that you have an audience

with God. Hallelujah. Every time. You know, during

my anyway, somebody say, how did you know? Maybe

if you are speaking in tongues, you are saying

that when I go out, I should have accident. Can

you imagine? And this was somebody that was supposed

to be our leader. He said, why are we praying

in tongues, praying in tongues? We don't even

know what we are saying. Maybe we are saying

that when we go out in the next day going to

our PPA, let's have accidents. At the time, we

believed that the spirit of Beelzebub was walking

through him. You know, he said, I'm the chief

rebellion. I'm the one that is ganging up against

him. I'm the one that's, what they call the word,

gang leader. Aside the president, the next person

that has three offices is me. I have one office

upstairs. I have my own office again downstairs.

And I have another one. And you know what he

now did? Since I was the gang leader, he realized

that we always, or every... All the other escorts,

we always meet in the office up because his home

too is there. So, he's closed. So, he sees everybody.

What is Rocket Man? They gave me a name, Rocket

Man. He said, what is Rocket Man always doing

with all this? They are still plotting something.

He now said, as the chief of this house, he has

seized that that room is closed. He now left

Rocket Room for us downstairs. How can you speak?

How can you create an audience with God? And

the interpretation of what is happening is, as

I'm going out in the morning for my PPA, let

me have accident. We love him. You know, as the

gang leader, you know, They suspended us for

six months. Have you ever seen people that gave

themselves to staff? They are now suspended for

six months. I'm telling you, for a one -year

program. For a one -year program, they suspended

us for six months. You know what we started doing,

sir? We started organizing prayer groups among

us. And we're praying for him and praying for

the church. The rugged man that I handed over

to, because, you know, we're under suspension,

so we can't go to come and select people. That

boy is from around my state. Do you know the

boy ran mad? He ran mad. They had to carry him

out of his service here, back home. They go out

for, you know, the boss will carry people and

they'll go for one villages or the other. The

boy will come back and be telling me strange

things that they are experiencing there. Before

we left, he started talking to himself. I was

in Abuja. They called me that they're moving

back home. Glory to God. The next set that was

going to come, substantive escort. That's the

main escort that was going to come. Jesus hijacked

the team. And the team changed. So, you can't

create an audience with God and give it a demonic

meaning. Okay. Let's continue. So, we said that

that word on the standard hymn, that word on

the standard, we say it's what? Akua, right?

Which implies to what? To comprehend. Praise

God. So, if we are reading that verse 2, we say,

for he that speaketh, that's the believer that

speaketh in an unknown tongue. We know what is

tongue now, right? If you're having King James

Version, unknown is italicized, which means in

the original context, it wasn't there, right?

It's just tongue. Praise God. Speaketh not unto

men. Verse added by translators, right? But unto

God. For no man understand. If you're still using

King James Version like mine, you will see the

hymn too. It's italicized, right? Yeah, so that

word there is supposed to be no man understand.

Understand what? The tongue. Praise God. Amen?

Yeah, so that's the word understand there. The

comprehension is not to understand a man speaking.

It's to understand the tongue that is being uttered.

Are we all here? Are we all here? So, when you

are set out to speak in tongues, When I come

close to you, I will not understand what you

are saying. How be it that the verse 2 says,

but your speakings are not to humanity. Your

speakings are unto who? And unto God. Please

be looking at your Bible so that you see what

I'm saying. He said, you speak not unto men,

but unto who? But unto God. For no humanity understand

this kind of speaking. Praise God. How be it

in the spirit, right? The believer speaketh what?

Mysteries. Are we all here? So that word mysteries,

we have had it here, is called musterion. Musterion,

which implies undisclosed facts that needs to

be explained. So it's not something metaphysical.

It's not something abstract. You remember we

said utterance is what? Elevated discussion,

right? But that elevated discussion can be interpreted.

Hallelujah. Tongues are not cryptic messages.

Tongues can be what? Interpreted. Praise God.

Let me repeat myself. Tongues are not a kind

of language that does not have meaning. Tongues

have meaning. And the meaning lies in the interpretation.

Praise God. Amen. So he said mysteries. How be

it what? It's mysteries. It's mysteries because

when you're speaking in tongues and I come close

to you, I don't understand what you're saying.

You understand? So for me, it becomes what? Mystery.

When we say mystery, we are not saying something

spooky. What we are saying is that something

that the mind cannot grasp. Something that intelligently

your mind cannot what? Understand at the moment.

Praise God. But however, it needs to be what?

Explained. Undisclosed facts. That needs to be

what? Explained. That is the word musterion.

That is why you see, I added to us, every time

you say, I'm setting out to pray in tongues,

the next thing should be, and what? Prophesy.

Give meaning to it. Interpret. Hallelujah. Praise

God. So we see other instances from musterion.

Luke chapter 8 verse 10. We'll just look at two

Luke 8:10

references and then because that has been taught

here. Luke chapter 8 verse 10. And he said unto

Luke 8:10

you, it is given to know the mysteries, the musterion

of the kingdom. Hallelujah. So which means it

is given to you to understand the mysteries of

what? Of the kingdom. So that undisclosed facts

about the kingdom for you is open. Praise God.

Pastor Fred talked about to the believer is revelation.

It's open. It's not hidden. Praise God. is disclosed

for the believer. Tongues, let me say it this

way as it's coming to my heart. Tongues is a

disclosed message that needs to be interpreted

in clear language for the mind to understand.

Let me repeat myself because it's coming to my

heart now. Tongues is a what? Is a disclosed

message that needs to be what? Interpreted for

the mind to what? To understand. Tongues is a...

You see why I use the word disclose? So that

when you are speaking in tongues, don't say I'm

speaking what I don't know. Praise God. Tongues

is a disclosed message that needs to be what?

Interpreted so that the mind can what? Understand.

You remember we said that what? It should meet

the eye. Praise God. It should edify. Amen. So

when interpretation comes to tongues, what we

get is what? Edification. Hallelujah. So he said,

you give to know the mysteries of the kingdom

of God. Amen. But to others in parables, but

seeing that they might not see and hearing, they

might not what? Understand. One more verse again.

One more reference and then we go. Ephesians

Ephesians 3:3

3 verse 3. Ephesians 3 verse 3. Are we all understanding

Ephesians 3:3

what is happening? Praise God. Ephesians 3 verse

Ephesians 3:3

3. How that by revelation, he made known unto

me the what? If it's something that is hidden

and should not be known, it will not be made

known to him. Praise God. How by what? Revelation,

right? It was made known unto me the mystery

as I wrote afore in what? In a few what? In a

few words. Whereby when you read, you may what?

You may understand. So if he wrote the writing

in mystery, would they have understood? No. So

it was disclosed. It was open. In fact, let me

say it again much more higher now. Tongues need

to be open. For edification to find expression.

Tongues need to be what? Open. Say that when

you read, you may understand my knowledge in

the mystery of what? In the mystery of Christ.

It's already disclosed. It's not hidden again.

Praise God. Hallelujah. How be it? Let's read

1 Corinthians 2 .6. So how is mystery disclosed?

By revelation. How is mystery? Pastor Fred has

taught that. How is mystery disclosed? By what?

By revelation. How by revelation? This mystery

was made known to me. This mystery was opened

unto me. 1 Corinthians chapter 2. Verse 6. What

1 Corinthians 2 · chapter mention

are they speaking? This hidden mystery that is

now what? Revealed. Hallelujah. Verse 9 now.

Can you see? But what has happened? Verse 10.

But God has hidden them. God has hidden them

unto us by His Spirit. What has happened to us?

God has revealed. them. How did he reveal them?

To us by his what? By his spirit. So say this,

when I speak in tongues, I know what I'm saying

by the spirit of God. For it is revealed unto

me by the spirit of God. The spirit of God gives

me utterance and he also gives me interpretation.

Glory to God. Hallelujah. That is it. See two

of everybody now. Now, hallelujah. When? Now

we have received not the spirit of the world,

but the spirit of God, which is of God, right?

That we may, what? That we may. That we may,

that we may, that we may know what? We may know

what? The things that are what? That are freely

what? Given to us. Say tongues have been given

to me. Interpretation have been given to me.

Word of wisdom has been given to me. The prophetic

has been given to me. Healing has been given

to me. Unconditionally there is a supply. Hallelujah.

Yes. That we may know. So when I create audience

with God, what happens next is that there is

what? A revealing. So when you set out to pray

in tongues, don't say, oh, hey, I'm afraid. I'm

afraid. No, no, no, no, no, no. It's you and

God. That thing that you're saying, why it's

called mystery, is because to the normal human

mind, it cannot be what? Understood. But when

it is interpreted, right, the mind now can what?

Grasp it. In Acts chapter 2, where we read, it

Acts 2 · chapter mention

says, when they now heard them, right, the first

thing that happened, they were what? Confounded.

But later on, they declared, oh, we heard them.

They all are speaking in our what? In our own.

And what we hear them speak is that they are

declaring the what? The wonderful works of the

Lord. Praise God. Praise God. So we see God has

revealed these things to us by His what? By His

Spirit. So when these things are explained, the

mind can now understand. Hallelujah. So write

down. Every time tongue is interpreted, the mind

understands. Every time tongue is interpreted,

the mind what? Understands. So it's no more a

musterion. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

So to the human mind, tongues are not understood.

Because in the spirit, the believer is. involved

in a discussion with God. Hallelujah. In the

spirit, the believer is involved in a what? Discussion

with God. I believe this has answered questions

on when I pray in tongues, who am I really praying?

When I do and I begin to utter, who am I really

talking to? Am I talking to Pastor Koston? You

know, some people are ashamed to pray in tongues.

You know, because... when you stand close to

them, they will now reduce their voice. As you

are just standing there, Pastor Fred, you know,

as we say, can everybody pray in tongue here?

Once they see, a pastor is coming close. In fact,

some will not only reduce it, some will change

direction. I just got this by the Spirit of the

Lord. Don't compare your tongues with another

man's tongue. I just got this now by the Spirit

of God. You're creating an audience with God.

You're not creating an audience with men. Praise

God. You're not speaking to men. You're speaking

unto who? Unto God. How be it you speak in the

Spirit and not in the human language? Praise

God. Are we all here? Yeah, so this should answer

a question in someone's heart now. So because

there's a big question. How does my tongue sound?

Or how should my tongue sound? This is a big

question. Most times, people, most people that

you struggle with regarding the baptism with

the Holy Ghost, with an evidence of praying in

tongues, most times this is their major question.

I don't know what I'm saying. Have you met them

like that? Yeah, they will tell you, I don't

know what I'm saying, number one. And two, they

will tell you that what I'm saying looks stupid

to me. Then the third thing they will say is,

I don't understand what I'm saying. I thought

I should be saying something that my mind can

what? Understand. You see, supernatural things

are always not logical to the human mind until

they are taught. Do you hear what I said? Supernatural

things are not what? Are always not what? Logical

to the human mind until they are what? until

they are taught. Tongues will not be logical

to your mind until it is interpreted. It will

never be logical. And I said something strong

yesterday. Everything supernatural will always

have effect in the natural. So the effect of

supernatural activity called tongue in the natural

is what? Interpretation. So now the human mind

can now what? Perceive it and understand. Laying

on of hands is a supernatural activity. But you

see, you just do it in the what? In the what?

In the physical. But something supernatural is

happening. But now the next thing, how do we

know a supernatural thing has happened? We now

see what? Healing taking place. We now see a

baptism with the Holy Ghost happening. And then

we have evidence of what? Speaking in other tongues.

Evidence. So it's not logical to your mind. So

don't seek to apply your logical mind. Always

when it comes. You know, sometimes you can be

seated as we are seated here now. The Spirit

of God will give you a word for someone in this

place. And you say, what if now I ask him and

the person say I'm lying? And then you're perceiving

it much more stronger in your heart. Many times

you have heard me say, I know what I'm saying.

You must have heard me have said it one, two,

three. As I hear, I say, no, this is what I'm

saying. I know what I'm saying. For example,

yesterday, when man of God say, if you know you're

here, and she raised her, from the back, I heard

that there's someone again here. And from nowhere,

our sister now walked up here. Practicals. I

don't know. What's your name, sister? Huh? Okay.

Did you speak in tongues yesterday? She has been

speaking in tongues, so I never needed to ask

her. But you spoke in tongues yesterday. Don't

be shy. Are you always shy? Uh -huh. Don't be

shy. With all that you have learned now, you

can speak in tongues again, right? All that you

have learned so far, you can speak in tongues,

right? Perfect. Good. Anyone here, again, that

does not speak in tongues? Okay. You know, yesterday

I said I will put our ear close to your mouth.

We are going to do it today. Don't go to the

restroom. Yes, don't go to the restroom. You

know, people can be so listening. You know, yesterday

I said it. And you know, people are laughing.

And people do it. They say, can we speak in tongues?

Or they say, is there anybody that does not speak

in tongues? Nobody will listen. So, which means,

everybody speak in tongues. But now, can we speak

in tongues? You start praying in French. And

you know, Somebody that does not understand in

French, he will see you. And then he will say,

oh boy, he's on fire. He's on fire. So how does

my tongue sound? Well, how should my tongue sound?

Because that's a big question in people's heart

now. So we say that tongues, what? It's an ability

in the spirit. Have we said that before? Yes,

we said that, right? But actually, it has a sound.

Amen? You know, we say lalia. Didn't we say lalia?

Yeah, we say lalia. We also say from the Genesis

19, we say daba. Right? Yeah, so which means

that when I'm speaking, there's what? There's

a sound. Praise God. Praise God. Isaiah 28, 11.

Isaiah 28, 11. Thank you, Holy Spirit. You create

audience with God. You don't create audience

with men. I will say this a thousand times. You

create audience with God. You don't create audience

with what? With men. Let your attention be on

God, not on men. Let your attention be on God,

not on men. When you set out to pray in tongues,

let your attention be on God and not with what?

On men. Let your attention be on God and not

what? And not meant that way. Much more will

be happening in your spirit. Much more will be

coming. Much more interpretation. Much more word

of knowledge. Much more word of wisdom. Much

more the prophetic. Much more instructions are

going to be deposited. Much more the Holy Ghost

will be revealing in your spirit. Hallelujah.

28, 11. For with tamarind leaves and another

tongue will he speak to what? To his people.

To whom he said. This is the rest wherewith ye

may cause the weary to what? To rest. And this

is the refreshing. Yet they will not hear. But

the word of the Lord was unto them precept upon

what? Precept, precept upon precept, line upon

line, line upon line, here a little and there

a little, and they might go and fall backward

and be broken and snared and taken. But verse

11 says, with stammering lips and another what?

Tongue, will he speak to his what? Will he speak

to his what? Will he speak to his people? So

that word tongue in the Hebrew, that word tongue

in Hebrew is called Lashon, which means communication.

Lashon, L -A -S -H -I -O -N. It means communication.

Tongue, communication. And then another, another

in Hebrew words, lashon, L -A -S -H -I -O -N

-E. Another in the Hebrew word is achar, A -C

-H -E -R, which implies something strange. Something

strange. With stammering lips and another tongue.

Another, achar, A -C -H -E -R. Something strange.

Tongue, lashon, communication. Stamarin leaves.

The word leaves, we have said it here. Sapa,

right? Yes, we have said it. Sapa. Just as in

Genesis 11 verse 1. So, it's something spoken,

Genesis 11:1

not written. Right? Something what? Spoken. Not

written. So, it's used for languages that need

what? Interpretation. The word stamarin is lae.

L -E. L -A -E -G. Which implies something that

is unusual, used for mockery. Something that

is unusual, used for mockery. Don't go out. Come.

Come and sit down. Come and sit down. Don't worry.

You pick that call. I want you to hear this part.

Tell the person to keep the money for you. I

want you to hear this part. Please. You know

why? You're going to help somebody in coming

days. You're going to help somebody with this

clarity. You see, as I raised my hand, I wasn't

looking for anybody. She was the one I was looking

for. And as I didn't see her, I said, ah! Now,

now. The word stammering is what? Lae, which

implies something that is what? Unusual, useful

mockery. Useful mockery. So we can say it here.

With a mockery, with a mockery speaking, right?

And a strange what? And a strange communication,

will he speak to his what? To his what? To his

people. I'm just putting all the meanings of

what we have written. into Isaiah 28, 11. That's

just what I just did. Now all the meanings, I'm

just putting it in Isaiah 28, 11. Are we all

here? Psalms 35, 16. Psalms 35, 16. Psalms 35,

Psalms 35:16

verse 16. Have we been blessed so far? Are we

understanding the benefits of tongues? We know

who should speak in tongues. We know who tongues

is addressed to. That is not addressed to any

human, right? It's addressed to who? To God,

right? Perfect. So we are now looking at how

should my tongues sound? When I'm speaking in

tongues and I'm speaking, what happens? Is it

supposed to be like I said? I started out saying

this. Some people want their tongue to be sweet.

I love her tongues. Her tongues is like peace

language. Cincinnati. Alaska, Alaska, Madagascar,

Madagascar, Honolulu, Honolulu. Some people want

their tongue to be this sweet. You know, some

people even judge some people's other tongues.

When they hear the person is just doing Shabalada,

Shabalada, Shabalada, Shabalada, you know what

I mean? How many of these guys are doing Shabalada?

Let me say this. Who are you to judge another

man's tongue? That was just a joke. Praise God.

All of us, we have an audience with God. Praise

God. Then the third group now is, when they are

speaking in talks, they will put their ear to

hear the neighbor's tongue. Holy Spirit. He is

giving you utterance. Don't be afraid. He is

giving you options. Don't be afraid. Just open

up your mouth. Begin to speak. Begin to speak.

You will get better at this high -end language.

You will get better at this undisclosed language

that needs to be disclosed. You will get better.

I tell you this by the Spirit of God. You will

get better at it. Psalm 35, 16 now. Oh, 35, 35.

With hypocritical what? Mockers in feasts, they

gnashed upon me with their what? They gnashed

upon me with their teeth. That word mockers is

the same word for laie, stammering. It's the

same word. It's the same word. Used for what?

Stammering, as we read in Isaiah 28, 11. Something

foreign. Something new. Something foreign. Mockery.

Are we all here? So, having established this,

we now realize that when we talk about tongues,

right? Tongues is a different kind of communication

that will always sound. like mockery, like a

jest. Tongues will always sound like a what?

A mockery communication. When you hear us, when

humanity comes, let me use that word, when humanity

comes around you, right, and they don't understand,

not you, all of us, we pray in tongues here,

so we understand. Amen? What I'm saying. But

when an unlearned person comes here, And then

he sees like that man that came in. Can you imagine

yesterday? We're praying though. The man just

stood by the door. He was dancing. Do you know

when three of them or four of them come here,

they'll say all of us are stupid. Yes. In fact,

let me tell you what they'll do. They'll bring

out their phones and they'll be smiling and be

taking video. So I think these guys are losing

their minds. So tongues, because it's supernatural,

right? Do you know, let me say this now. Oh,

let's go back to 1 Corinthians 2. Where we read

chapter 2. So that you will see something. So

that you will see. Verse 14. Verse 14. Verse

Corinthians 2, 14. But the natural man received

not what? The things of what? Of the spirit of

God. For they are what? For they are what? Your

what say? For they are foolishness to him. Next

slide says what? Neither what? Can they what?

Know them because they are what? Spiritually

discerned. So tongues is a different kind of

communication. It's a language that sounds. This

is answering someone's question. The words I'm

saying, I don't understand them. Yes, your mind

cannot understand them intelligently. They sound,

they will sound like what? Mockery. So don't

apply effort and energy trying to understand

the words in human language. No. Amen? See, for

example, 1 Corinthians 14, 21. 1 Corinthians

14, 21. In the law it is written, with men of

what? With men of other tongues and other lips,

will I what? Will I speak unto these people?

And yet for all that will they not hear me said

what? Yes, strange communications. Strange. So

if you are having King James Version, you realize

that, you know, that place, man of, is actually

size. So which means that it was added by what?

Translators. So if we're going to read that place,

say, with other tongues. Praise God. With other

tongues and other leaves will I speak unto what?

Unto these people. That is the same rendition

from where we read in Isaiah. Are we all here?

Are we all here? So now, having said all this

now, let's read Acts chapter 2 verse 4. So now

Acts 2:4

you now grasp properly now. Can you see that

the sound of tongues will always look like mockery?

So if you are waiting for your tongue to sound

like Queen's English, you came late. The occasion

is over. See Acts chapter 2 verse 4, everybody.

Acts 2:4

And they were all filled with the what? With

the Holy Ghost. And they what? Began to speak

with what? In fact, let me do it as it's coming

to my head now. Carry the meaning. Of another.

And tongues that we just wrote from. The Old

Testament where we read. And put here. As the

spirit gave them utterance. And they say to me.

And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost.

And they began to speak. With what? Strange.

Communication. And because they were speaking.

A strange communication. Verse 6. Now when this

was noise abroad. The multitude came together

and were what? And they were confounded because

every man had them speak in his own what? In

his own tongue. See 13 now. Go to 13 everybody.

Others doing what? Others doing what? Mocking,

saying what? Can you see? So there were people

that hurt them, whereas others were laughing.

There were a group of people, such a mighty atmosphere.

And there were people standing there and they

were laughing. So if you are waiting for your

tongue to sound sweet, you came late. Every time

you set out to pray in tongues, it's going to

sound what? Strange, like a jest or what? Have

a form of a what? Mockery. Do you know why? Because

the human mind cannot what? Understand it. Until

it is what? Interpret it. How be it you are creating

audience with who? With God. Can we create an

audience in the next two minutes with God? Can

we pray in tongues now? I just perceive in my

heart that let's pray in tongues. Don't wait

for any atmosphere. There's no atmosphere. The

atmosphere is inside you. You are the atmosphere.

If you're online and you're listening, do likewise.

Pray in other tongues. Pray, pray, pray, pray,

pray. in right now. No wonder someone has said

in his heart, no wonder when I pray in tongues,

the way I'm saying it, I don't understand it.

No wonder the sound of my tongues is somehow.

No wonder my mind cannot understand. Yes, your

mind cannot understand because it's a supernatural

ability by the Spirit of God in your inside.

Let me hear you. Let me hear you. Do your mind

cannot understand it? Your spirit understand

it? Do your mind cannot understand it? God understand

it? Do your mind cannot understand it? Interpretation

is coming! Interpretation is here so that that

which is happening in your inside, the mind can

understand and you are edified. Thank you, Holy

Ghost. Thank you, Holy Ghost. In Jesus name we

pray. In the name of Jesus. So do we know how

tongues sounds now? Do we know how tongues sounds?

Hallelujah. To everywhere you go. Praise God.

I just had in my spirit to say to somebody who

is still struggling. Don't be ashamed when it

comes to praying in tongues. Don't be ashamed.

It's your reality. The utterance is inside you.

It will not be given to you tomorrow. It will

be given to you now. Hallelujah. There's a word

we sing here. I'm doing a new thing. I'm doing

a new thing in your life. I'm doing a new thing

in your life. That's what the Lord is saying.

I'm doing a new thing in your life and I'm going

to use you to bring about the revelation of God's

word in your nation. I'm using you to bring about

the revelation of God's word in your nation.

I'm going to use you to bring about restoration

to my church. There shall be a cleansing of my

church. There shall be a restoration of truth

on the pulpits in our churches. And I'm raising

you an army, an army that will bring about the

revelation of truth. That the church is brought

back to its line, to its initial plan. That I'm

using you as a new breed of men and women. That

will establish truth on the pulpits. That will

bring about the revelation of the truth of God's

word in this generation. This generation needs

men and women. And I'm revealing the truth to

you. And investing my word in you. I'm investing

my spirit in you. So that you can rise. So that

you can speak. So that you can reveal the truth

to this generation. I'm raising you as men full

of the spirit. With boldness. By the power of

the Holy Ghost. With signs and wonders accompanying.

I'm raising you as men of unction. As men full

of utterances. As you go about to preach. Eyes

of men are open. As you lay hands on the sick.

Healings are happening. As you speak to men.

Revelation of truth is passed to them. There

is transformation in nations through your hands,

through your words, through the preaching of

the gospel. I'm using you to change generations.

I'm using you to even raise leaders for tomorrow.

I'm using you to bless this generation and the

one to come. I'm using you to bring about the

establishment of the kingdom of God in the life

of men in the name of Jesus Christ. Glory to

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

Glory to God. I perceive a staring much more

in our hearts. Can we pray in tongues? There's

a staring. I perceive that. Can anybody confirm

that too? Yes, I perceive. I perceive that. I

perceive that much more. Okay, yeah. There's

someone confirming it already. Thank you, Father.

In Jesus' name we pray. In the name of Jesus.

So we can say that tongues are abilities in the

spirit of the believer. You can write this now

and then we close on this. We're going to have

much more to build upon this that we have. At

least we have given a good introduction on tongues,

right? Haven't we given a good introduction?

Yes, this is a perfect introduction on tongues.

Amen? So we can say that tongues is an ability

in the spirit of the believer. It's an ability

in the spirit of the believer. Or a spiritual

mode of communication to God by believers verbalized

clearly in the Spirit. You see, that word carefully,

verbalize. Or a spiritual mode of communication

to God by believers verbalized clearly in what?

In the Spirit. Verbalized clearly in the Spirit.

Thank you, Holy Spirit. So write this. Tongues

is not a human language which can be learned.

Neither is it an evolution of a language. Tongues

is not a human language which can be what? Which

can be learned. And it's not also an evolution

of what? Of language. And then write this now.

That tongues is a post -resurrection reality

we have in Christ Jesus. Glory to God. It's a

post -resurrection reality that we have in who?

In Christ Jesus. Oh, thank you, Holy Spirit.

I still can remember when my mom gave her life

to Christ and began to speak in tongues. It was

something joyful for her. Every night. Every

night I will hear my mom. You know my mom. Every

night always my mom will be praying. Every night.

One of these days I came from school. So I was

dreaming. You know when you're in secondary school

and you have seniors. The ones that beat you.

The ones that love you. The ones that you always

dream with them. I dream with one of my seniors.

You know. And in the dreaming I was talking.

In the dream. I dreamt that, you know, except

it has not happened to you. If you're in boarding

school, once it's close to going back, you don't

like it. So that night I was dreaming that I

reached school and then I saw one of my seniors.

His name is Twanga. So, and then we call him

Tumsi. So in the dream, I was like, Tumsi, Tumsi.

So I didn't know from the dream, I now sounded.

Because we sleep with my mom around. I now woke

up, I saw my mom. I rebuke the spirit of Tumsi.

I rebuke the spirit of Tumsi. I rebuke the spirit

of Tumsi. Except my mom is sick. I've never had

a night where she... Some of you have those kind

of mothers. I've never seen a night where she

does not pray. She said, the Lord is showing

me this. The Lord has opened my eyes. The Lord

has opened my eyes. The Lord has opened my eyes.

I saw this. I saw that. I saw this. I remember

she said, I should not come back home. I should

stay in Cyprus. Because she saw that I came home,

I never returned. So I bought my ticket without

telling her. I'm telling you, they didn't know

I bought my ticket when I was going home. They

didn't know. See, just have several dreams. I

return home. She has prayed. Nothing will bring

me. And she has prayed about it. When the time

came, I bought my ticket without telling them.

So it's a post -restoration what? Reality that

we have in who? In who? In who? So please write

this down, the last statement, and then we jump

into interpretation of tongues. Praise God. In

fact, let me put it so you can personalize it.

Say my joy. Write it. My joy. No, write it. Write

it. My joy and confidence when speaking in tongues.

My joy and confidence when speaking in tongues

is that I have a spiritual communication with

the Father. That also defines my fellowship with

Him. My joy and confidence when speaking in tongues

is that what? I have a spiritual communication

with the Father. Right? Have you written that?

I have a spiritual communication with the Father

which defines what? My fellowship. Which also

defines my fellowship with Him. Hallelujah. Praise

God. Hallelujah. So this is a beautiful way to

start out on what? On tongues. Amen? Hallelujah.

Praise God. Yes, so, we're on point. We're on

point. Because once we do interpretation of tongues,

we're already automatically also doing what?

Prophecy. Praise God. Hallelujah. Are we all

here? Have we been blessed so far? Have we been

blessed so far? Are we going to pray more in

tongues? Are we going to pray more in tongues?

You see, these words are not only blessing you.

If you know the way I'm blessed, I'm feeling

like for the sake of teaching. If not, we are

keeping this now. We will take one hour stretch,

steady. We will cruise first. One hour. You know

yesterday what Pastor Victor just gave us? Have

you noticed that one hour is more for us now?

When praying in tongues, have you noticed that?

Yes. In fact, sir, even the time of catechism

is even getting distant. Yes. Yes, yes, yes,

yes, yes. We either make it two weeks or we make

it five to nine. Oh, is that five to nine? Nine

to nine. Do you know why? So that when we come,

right, other sessions are going to be finishing

in the evening. No, let's reason this together.

Let's reason. Let's plan. Let's plan this together.

Let's plan. Let's plan. So, let's plan this.

Come on now. What I'm saying is your mind can

understand it. Now, let's reason this together.

So, we now have morning session. We now have

afternoon session. We take our lunch. Right?

So, when we take our lunch, we're not coming

for a session. We now enter town. Whatever that

we have learned, we go and practicalize it. You

get? So, from that afternoon, Till five, we are

unfilled. Right? Yeah, so for example now, when

we finish tongues, interpretation of tongues,

and then prophecy, right? By then we have been

taught on baptism with the Holy Ghost, right?

So we have the knowledge. And how to get people

baptized with the Holy Ghost. Right? So when

we now go out that afternoon, are you all with

me? We are making a good plan now. So we will

now go out. When we now go out. We now do that.

Everybody. When we now do it, from where you

are, you're not going home. We are coming back

here. So when we come back here, we'll take like

two hours to refresh in the Holy Ghost tongues.

Then we'll now have evening session. Does this

look like believers meeting? Praise God. Hallelujah.

Somebody say oh boy. Praise God. It's your church.

Church will kill you. It has never killed us.

It has given us eternal life. I will say this

before we start. When I was in university, because

I've been, this thing we have been doing, I've

been doing it from primary school till now. Let

me use the word that they use. We've been church

boys. I got to university. Then someone told

me, someone very close to me, he told me, he

said, they used to say I'm smart. They used to

say I'm smart. I'm still smart. So, So when I

got to university, we got to university to graduate

with first class, but we got busy with watching

movies and we're doing this, you know. But in

between, we're still doing ministry, you know,

but we're not reading books, not reading our

books. So after one year, they released my results.

We got, see, we entered to get first class and

also 2 .98, 2 .98 in five bands. Second class

lower. Ah. That was the first time I understood

the power of association. All the people we watch

movies with were on two points. All of us. Even

the ones studying medicine. But you know 2 .89

in medical school is a pass. So then their names

came out, they are pass. I changed my friends

first year. Second year, I changed a classroom.

So, then this person called me. He said, I noticed

that. You've been wasting your time. You've been

saying you're doing church, church, church, church,

church. And you're not reading your books. Even

me with my church, I still graduated close to

first class. 4 .4 something. That's what I'm

trying to tell me. I just forgot about the distance.

I continue on my life. Fast forward into many

years. I'm in Cyprus. Now say, see, I'm proud

of you people. Because, you see, ministry is

your life. This is what you should be doing.

This is this, this, this, this. I say, what were

we doing before? Be hardworking. Excel in academics.

Excel in your natural life. Excel in business.

Excel in everything. But ensure that your relationship

with Jesus, the work of ministry is first. Hallelujah.

Let me say like Paul would say, everything shall

pass away. Your certificate will pass. Everything,

whatever. In fact, Christ would say, the life

of a man is not consisted in the abundance of

things he works. Yes. Say, I found meaning. I've

found meaning. And that meaning is defined. And

that meaning is defined. And that meaning is

established in Christ Jesus. And I'm going to

follow it till the end. Hallelujah. Interpretation

of tongues. Are we all here? Yes, interpretation

of tongues. Let's go. Interpretation of tongues.

1 Corinthians chapter 14. Verse 5, everybody.

1 Corinthians 14 · chapter mention

1 Corinthians chapter 14, verse 5. I would that

1 Corinthians 14:5

ye all, what? Speak with tongues. We already

established all, right? But rather that ye may,

what? That ye, what? For greater is he that prophesied

than he that speaketh with tongues, except he

what? That the church may receive what? A defiant.

Praise God. Right? So which means that tongues

cannot be understood except they are what? Interpreted.

And in the believer is tongues and in the believer

is interpretation. Have we established that?

That the believer has tongues and the believer

also has what? Interpretations. Praise God. Now,

the word interpretation. Oh, before we go that,

let's go to that chapter 12. Let's read chapter

12 so that we establish a proper doctrine there.

1 Corinthians chapter 12. Verse 10. To another,

1 Corinthians 12 · chapter mention

the walking of miracles, to another prophecy,

to another discerning of spirits, to another

what? Diverse kinds of tongues. If you're using

King James Version, you see that diverse is italicized.

Which means that in the original context, it

wasn't what? It wasn't there. Just say kinds

of tongues. Right? And when you check the original

word for that, kinds, it talks about nation.

A people. Right? Yes. So a people with a kind

of tongue. Praise God. To another, the interpretation

of what? Of tongues. So in the believer, we have

tongues. And in the believer, we have what? Interpretation

of what? Of tongues. Praise God. Is that okay?

Good, so interpretation. That word interpretation,

which we have handled here, is from the word

diarmenio. Diermenio. D -I -E -R -M -E, the Greek

word for it, D -I -E -R -M -E -N -E -U -O. Diermenio.

D -I -E -R -M -E -N -E -O -U -O. Which is a combination

of two Greek words, dia and hermenio. Diermenio.

D -I -E -R -M -E -N -E -U -O. From two words,

dia and what? Hermenio. Hermenio is H -E -R -M

-E -N -U -E -O. Same word with dia, just put

her. H -E -R. Dia means two. In the midst of

two. Between two. D -I -A, dia, means what? Two.

In the midst of two. Amongst two. Please don't

forget we are talking about interpretation of

what? Tongues. We have already established tongues,

right? That is for all believers. It's in all

believers. And all believers should pray in tongues.

Are we here? So now we are talking about interpretation

of what? Of tongues. So in the midst of two,

dia means in the midst of two, between two or

amongst two. So whereas, hermeneo implies to

explain or to expound. To explain. Hermeneo is

what? To explain. To expound. So if we are going

to now define diarmeneo properly, we are going

to say, To give detail or complete explanation.

To give detail or complete explanation. To give

detail or complete explanation. That is to cut

across two languages. Daya, Hermenio. Hermenio

is said to explain, right? Daya means in the

midst of two, right? So, dia hermenio or dia

menio, right? It means to give complete or detailed

explanation. And such type of explanation cuts

across two communications. Two languages. Such

communication will cut across what? Two languages

and more. Are we all here? Yes, so that is their

menu. So what we are saying is that when we have

interpretation of tongues, is that now we are

bringing importance, right, to tongues. So when

I pray in tongues and I interpret it, now I bring

significance to it. Hallelujah. It does not become

a jest again. It does not become a mockery. Are

we all here? So when a tongue is interpreted,

you know we said diarmenia means to do what?

To explain, complete explanation, a detailed

explanation, right? So now when I interpret tongues,

what is happening is that I'm bringing a complete

explanation. I'm bringing significance. To the

communication. Are we all here? Is it clear so

far? So, for example, now, 1 Corinthians 45,

where we read, he said, I will that ye all speak

with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied.

For greater is he that what? Prophesied than

he that speaketh with what? Except he what? Except

your Bible. Except he. Except he interprets.

So take the meaning of diarmenio and put in that

place. Except he what? Interprets. So you see,

when he gives a complete explanation, then the

church is what? Edified. Are we all here? The

church is edified. See verse 13 now. 1 Corinthians

14, 13. For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my

spirit what? No, no, no, 13, sorry. 1 Corinthians

14, 13. Wherefore, let him that speaketh in an

unknown tongue pray that he what? That he interprets.

Who interprets? Who interprets? The speaker.

Amen? Perfect. We're all here then. 26, verse

26. How it is then that brethren, when you come

together, every one of you, all of you, Every

one of you had a psalm, had a doctrine, had a

tongue, had a revelation, had a what? Interpretation.

Let all things be done unto what? Edifying. Does

this look like verse 5? That when you pray in

tongues and you interpret, edification comes

to the church. Does it look like it? Perfect.

We are all on the same line now. Verse 27 now.

If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it

be by two or at most by three. Let's under by

cause and let one what? Interpret. Can you see

interpretation again? So all the place you have

seen, tongues, tongues, tongues. The next thing

you have seen is what? Interpretation. Let there

be interpretation. Praise God. Because that's

where significance come to it. Are we all here?

C28. But if there be no interpreter, let him

keep silence in the church. And let him speak

to himself. And what? Somebody will say. That

is it. I don't know why they keep disturbing

us. About this tongue stone. They say if there

be no interpreter. Then we should do what? We

should shut up. Let me say the one that. You

know. The pastor said, which tongue is that?

Tongues of my people. You know, I told my wife,

I said, for a long time, I had something to do

with Yoruba people. I had a long time. But some

people were arguing then in family house that

they know I will marry a Yoruba person. They

were seriously arguing in the kitchen. Even in

the midst of, there were lots of Igbo people

around. They said, no, they know. And for whatever

reason, I need to know. Every other information

concealed. That was a joke. Praise God. Hallelujah.

Oh my God. Oh, not by God. Ah, okay. We are back.

Let me be serious. Let me be serious. Oh God.

Thank you, Jesus. So, so what we see in the scriptures,

we see interpretation and interpret. Interpretation

and what? Interpret, interchangeably, right?

Yeah, so. We see that interpretation and interpret

is from same word, Hermenia. Right? Hermenia.

From the same root word, Hermenio. So, which

means, it implies to give what? To give meaning.

To expound. Right? Right, to give meaning. However,

Hermenio in itself is not complete yet. Because

when you Hermenio, right, what is happening is

that you are leaving some information. But when

you diarmenio, you ensure that all informations

are passed across. Are we all here? Because what

is happening is that now, you are going to cut

across everywhere to ensure that there is proper

understanding. Question. Luke 24, 27. Now, let's

see. What Jesus did, he didn't do diarmenio.

He did what? He did what? The Emmanuel. Luke

Luke 24:27

24, verse 27. Then he said from 25, then he said

unto them, all fools and slow of heart to believe

all that the prophets have what? All that the

prophets have what? All that the prophets have

what? Spoken, we have had that in this church

now, so don't get cold on me. 26, ought not Christ

to have suffered these things and to enter into

his what? 27, all together. And beginning at,

and beginning at, was Moses written in English

language? Was Moses written in English language?

It was written in what? In Hebrew, right? And

all the prophets, praise God, he expounded unto

them in what? In all what? Scriptures, the things

concerning what? Himself. Pastor Victor taught

us here, right? The primary languages that the

scripture was written is what and what, what

and what, what and what? Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic.

Does it look like English language to you? So

if now I want to explain something in Hebrew,

in Greek and Aramaic to you, and I just only

use Greek. And then I needed to carry an important

information that have a contextual meaning that

should help you. And that word is now in Hebrew.

I said Greek, right? The first. Okay, let's start

with Hebrew. And then I have an important information

that will carry a good context in Greek. And

I refuse to say anything about it. And in the

midst where I'm supposed to make that emphasis,

I'll tell you that. Hope you understand. I conceal

it entirely and don't say it. And I finish. Will

it leave you with understanding or it will leave

you with questions? Eh? It will leave you with

questions because the communication is not complete.

Amen? So, what Jesus did here, he said, I'm beginning

at Moses and what? All the prophets, he expounded.

That word expounded is diarmenio. On to them,

in what? Underline the word. It's your Bible.

Underline the word. All the scriptures. The things

concerning who? Himself. Hallelujah. Praise God.

That's what Christ did. And that's what we are

seeing. Praise God. Are we all here? Are we all

here? So that word expounded was translated from

the same Greek word, which means to explain in

detail and completely. In detail. And what? Completely.

So Jesus didn't just barely read the Old Testament

and just, you know, just went through events

and stories like that and just passed by. No,

no, no, no, no. What he did is that he systematically

cut across every part of the scriptures to talk

about the things concerning himself. So diarmenio

is that you are systematically cutting across

what? Everywhere. To give a complete explanation.

Are we all here? This is important when it comes

to interpretation of tongues. Because it's going

to help us. Amen? Good. So now, hence when we

say interpretation of tongues, right? Are we

all here with me? When we say interpretation

of tongues, we're not talking about translation

of tongues. Please write it down. When we say

interpretation of tongues, we don't mean what?

Translation of what? Of tongues. That's why Pastor

Victor mentioned, when I heard it, I was laughing.

That G .P .T. is now... translating tongues.

Because he's not interpreting it. In fact, I

don't know. JGBT will tell you that this is a

gibberish. It's a confused language. I want to

say something, but let me keep quiet. He's not

a brother. So interpretation of tongues is not

what? Translation of tongues. Why? We have established

that tongues is a supernatural what? Communication.

It's a supernatural language. So it's not translated.

It can only be interpreted. Hallelujah. Praise

God. Praise God. So we can't say explain your

tongues. Because if we are saying you should

explain your tongues, what we are saying directly

is that we are carrying all the syllables of

what you are saying, right? And we are not giving

meaning to them. That's confusion. Praise God.

But rather it is what? Interpretation of what?

Of tongues. Are we all here? Are we all here?

Are we all here? So when we say interpretation

of tongues, again, what we are saying in essence

is that we are giving meaning to tongues. We

are uncovering the information inside tongues.

We are uncovering the information inside tongues.

You see, this should be a huge comfort to your

heart that you're not just praying in tongues

only, but you can interpret the tongues. Hallelujah.

That you are uncovering the information, what?

In the tongues. So there is an explanation to

the outcome of your discussion with God. Praise

God. Let me say this, it's so beautiful. There

is an explanation to the what? To the outcome

of your discussion with God. So, having said

this, We will say this now. Interpretation of

tongues does not come from your mind. It comes

from the Spirit. You see why you cannot translate

it? Interpretation of tongues comes from where?

It does not come from your what? Your mind. It

comes from where? Your Spirit. The same source.

The Spirit gives tongues is also the Spirit that

gives what? Interpretation. Hallelujah. So, what

interpretation does from the spirit is that interpretation

brings explanation to the human mind. So that

the human mind can understand and be edified.

Interpretation of tongues brings what? Explanation

to the what? To the human mind. Not that from

the human mind interpretation comes. But rather,

interpretation of tongues comes from the spirit

to where? To the human mind. So that the human

mind can understand and be edified. Are we all

here? Praise God. Praise God. So now, 1 Corinthians

1 Corinthians 14:1

chapter 14 verse 1 now. 1 Corinthians 14, verse

1 Corinthians 14:1

1. 1 Corinthians 14, verse 1. Follow after charity

1 Corinthians 14:1

and desire spiritual words. Please, media team,

that you are not putting this thing online. I

hope you are going through your Bible. Okay.

Follow after charity. Verse 1. Everybody. Follow

after charity and desire what? But rather that

ye may prophesy. Amen. 2. For he that speaketh

in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men but

unto God. We have done much more work on this.

For no man understand how be it in the spirit

he speaks what? Mysteries. But he that prophesies

speaketh not unto men and speaketh unto men to

edification. Right? Can you see that prophecy?

Unto men is what? Edification. Tongues plus interpretation

is what? Prophecy. Which brings what? Edification.

That's what is in verse 5. Are we all here? And

exhortation and comfort. Verse 4. He that speaketh

in an unknown tongue edified what? Himself. Because

it's a communication between you and God. Right?

But he that prophesied edified what? The church.

Five now. I would that ye all speak with tongues,

but rather that ye prophesy. For greater is he

that prophesied than he that speaketh with tongues,

except he interprets that the church may receive

what? Edifying. Prophecy edifies. Tongues and

interpretation of tongues also edifies. So that

is where tongues plus interpretation becomes

what? Prophecy. I say add another equal to noun

edification. Is it clear? Is it clear? You see,

that's why I say, anytime you talk about tongues,

don't ever stop there. They say, I want to pray

in tongues. Don't stop there. Say, I want to

pray in tongues and what? Interpret or what?

Prophesy. Is that clear? Is that clear? You see,

when that happens, oh boy, the place will be

on fire. Praise God. Praise God. Are we all here?

So now, verse 1. We're going to do a little word

study and then build on this. Oh, perfect. Verse

1 now. Verse 1 started by saying follow after.

That word follow after is translated from the

Greek word dioko. Dioko. D -I -O -K -O. Dioko.

Follow after. It's from the word what? Dioko.

It means to pursue. To pursue. Praise God. To

pursue something. To press towards something.

Dioko. To press something. To press towards something.

Are we all there? Have we written that already?

Dioko. D -I -O -K -O. Follow after. That word

follow after means dioko. To pursue. To pursue.

To press towards. Then we now have charity. We

know charity, Agape. Everybody knows charity.

If my Bible is charity, in your translation,

it might be what? It might be love. Praise God.

Are we all there? So I don't need to give this

one. So the word desire is a follow after charity

and desire. You see, we are doing a word study

now. We are going... In that verse now. We're

still in verse 1. The word desire. There's a

reason for that. The word desire. Are we all

there? It's from the Greek word zelo. Zelo. Z

-E -L -O -O. Zelo. I love this word. I love this

word. And that word zelo means to boil with passion.

To boil over something with passion. To boil.

To boil. When you check the root word for zillow,

you realize that that meaning is that what? To

be hot. To be hot. When you check the root word

for zillow, z -e -l -o -o, it means what? The

root word for it is to be hot, to be fervent.

Amen? So which means the believer should not

have desires after the things of the Spirit that

are just casual. Praise God. So your desire should

not be what? Your desire for the spiritual should

not be what? Casual. It should be hot. It should

be on fire. It should be fervent. Then the next

thing there you see is gifts. So if you check,

if you're using King James Version like mine,

you see the gifts there is italicized, right?

Now, by now, I don't even need to say it again.

By now, I'll just move on. By now, if you're

using King James Version, anytime, if you're

seeing... If you are seeing a word that is bent,

just know that translators bended it inside.

I don't know if there is a word like that. Yes,

for English meaning. So that the human mind can

understand. Are we all there? But we have learned

in this church that that word there is not what?

Gifts. You talk about what? Spirituals, right?

Have we not learned it here? Have we been taught

about it? Church, have we been taught about it?

Okay. Before we tear out a sheet of paper now.

I'll write a fast quiz. And then we say spiritualize

is what? Tell me now, spiritualize is what? Pneumaticus,

right? Okay, so let's move on now. Are we all

here? So he now says what? Follow after. Pursue

love. And also what? Be fervent. Boiled with

passion. Regarding what? Spirituals. But he now

say. But rather that ye may what? Prophesy. That

word rather. Write it down. That word rather.

Because now somebody will say. That is why he

say. If I can't actually follow the spirituals.

I think I better stick with my prophecy. I think

my prophecy is okay. That's why did that place

say rather. If I stay. No. That's not what the

scripture says there. So, write the word rather.

So, that word rather is translated from the word

malon. Malon. M -A -L -L -O -N. Malon. M -A -L

-L -O -N. And the meaning of malon means much

more. Can you see? It's not the rather in your

English language. Paul would have not been writing

this in English, no? Right? Yeah, so much more.

He said much more or so much the more. Malon.

Much more or what? So much what? The more. I'm

saying this here so that when we finish now,

we will now use all the meanings and you'll put

in that verse and read it. Amen? So, much more.

It does not refer to opposites. That word rather

prophesy does not refer to what? Opposite. He's

not saying follow after. Oppositely. Just what?

Prophesy. No. It does not refer to the opposites.

Much more or so much what? The more. Prophecy

now. That word prophecy from the Greek word prophetio.

Which implies to speak by inspiration. Prophetio

to speak by inspiration. Prophetio. P -R -O -P

-H -E. Prophet. Teuo. T -E -U -O. Just a T. Just

a T -E -U -O. Profe. T -E -U -O. It means to

speak by inspiration. Hallelujah. Praise God.

So with what we have done now, this short word

study now, let's carry it and put it inside verse

1. Everybody now. Are we all there? Can we do

that? Can we do that? Can we do that? Okay, let's

put it. Yes, pursue after charity and boil with

passion over spirituals, but much more that you

may speak by what? So what he's saying is the

same thing. Hallelujah. He's not saying that

if you feel spirituals are not working, then

take prophecy. No, no, no, no, no, no. You see?

Paul carefully started this communication because

the whole of that chapter is all about prophecy.

And we started out by saying that, what is prophecy?

What is prophecy? Speaking by inspiration, right?

Okay, so when we say tongues plus interpretation

of tongues becomes what? Prophecy leads to edification.

So the whole of that chapter is about tongues

and interpretation of tongues. Or you can say

the whole of that chapter is about prophecy.

The whole of that chapter is about edification.

Praise God. Hallelujah. Do we have this understanding?

So you see, when a believer prays in tongues

and a believer interprets the tongues, it's equal

to prophecy. What he's doing is that he's bringing

what? Edification. Praise God. Hallelujah. So

you see, that is why you have to, let me say

this now, it's coming to my spirit. Your desires

regarding the things of the spirit should never

be cold. Your desires to see the supernatural

should never be what? Should never be cold. Let

it be on fire. Let it be on, let it be hot. Let

it always be fervent. When we say, pray in tongues,

or let me say it this way. When we say, can you

hold the hands of your neighbor? Pray in tongues

for the next 15 minutes and we do that. And say,

give the person a word by the Spirit. Don't begin

to do... Just give the person the word. Hallelujah.

Let it be. Desire. Desire. Desire. Your desire

for the word of knowledge should not be casual.

Your desire for the prophetic should not be casual.

Your desire for tongues and interpretation of

tongues should not be casual. Your desire for

gifts of faith should not be casual. Your desire

for walking of miracles. should not be what?

Casual. Be on fire. See, it should be so hot

on fire that when you sleep, you see yourself

ministering to people. I'm telling you this now.

Should be this. When you sleep, in your dreams,

whether you are awake, whether they call it non

-REM sleep or REM sleep, any of the sleeps, It

should not be casual. Every time you hear a mention

of the supernatural, oh boy, let it excite you.

Every time you hear a mention of the supernatural,

let it what? Excite you because we are talking

about your reality. We are taken over by the

spirit of God. Hallelujah. We are winning many

souls by the spirit of God. We are getting many

people filled with the Spirit by the Spirit of

God. We are preaching the gospel to different

nations by the Spirit of God. How many of us

in this meeting have received word for the pastors?

Any of the pastors? They have given me mine yesterday.

In fact, I've started praying with it. How many

of us have received word for any of the pastors

throughout this session? How many of us have

received what? Matthew, come. Queen, come. Sam,

come. Three people, right? I want to set you

on sports. Do you know what I would do? Do you

know what I would want to give them money? I

just started calling names. You are already,

your face is turning. Come. Four people, right?

Favor, come. Jesus. He said, Jesus. He's the

son of the living God. My brother in cap. Yes,

come. He said, ah. My chest. It's not your chest.

Nothing has happened. He's not the one that did

it. Somebody did it. How many people? Is it six?

Okay, six people. Matthew, you're going to give

a word to Pastor Victor. Favor, you give a word

hands on you. We will pray for you. We will lay

in their heart already to come and take again.

We're going to have more practical session in

the next session. Amen. We just have a small

part to just add on interpretation of tongues

so that there will be more clarity. You see,

a word by the spirit. I'm telling you, she will

never be this wind move everywhere. Praise God.
