-
Praise God. Hallelujah. Can we open to 1 Corinthians
1 Corinthians 12 chapter mention
-
chapter 12? 1 Corinthians chapter 12, verse 1
-
to 11. 1 Corinthians, we are still talking about
-
the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Amen. And then
-
we appreciate all the pastors. Pastor Fred. Pastor
-
Chidi. Pastor Victor. Pastor Emmanuel. Pastor
-
Ifein. Amen. Yes, and Pastor Koston. We appreciate
-
all of them for all the efforts for putting up
-
this gathering. Amen. How many of us have been
-
blessed so far in this meeting? Praise God. Hallelujah.
-
Yes. You know, after the first day I turned and
-
I told Pastor Ima, okay, after service, after
-
everything, you know, we're at the back. I told
-
him, I said, yes, we're online. Praise God. Amen.
-
We appreciate God for the opportunity that the
-
pastors have given us to be taught and to be
-
trained. Hallelujah. to be equipped in this season.
-
Amen? Praise God. And I also appreciate the pastoral
-
for the opportunity and privilege to also be
-
here. Amen? Yeah, so 1 Corinthians 12, verse
-
1 to 7. He said, now concerning spiritual, what?
-
Gifts. Praise God. Let me just do something here,
-
please. Don't worry, they will bring the light
-
back. So now, concerning what? Spiritual gifts.
-
Brethren, I will not have you ignorant. Amen?
-
Yea, know that ye were gentiles, carried away
-
unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led. Wherefore,
-
I give you to understand that no man speaking
-
by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed,
-
and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord,
-
but by the Holy Ghost. Now there are diversities
-
of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are
-
difference of administrations, but the same Lord.
-
And there are diversities of operations, but
-
it is the same God who worketh all in all. But
-
the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every
-
man to profit with all. For to one is given by
-
the Spirit the word of wisdom, to another the
-
word of knowledge by the same Spirit, to another
-
faith by the same Spirit, to another the gifts
-
of healing by the same Spirit, to another the
-
working of miracles, to another prophecy, to
-
another. discerning of spirit, you shall have
-
what you say. You know? Yes, by discerning of
-
spirit to another diverse kinds of tongues, to
-
another the interpretation of tongues. 11. But
-
all these worketh that one and the self -same
-
spirit dividing to every man severally. As what?
-
As he will. Hallelujah. Praise God. And during
-
Pastor Emmanuel's teaching, what we saw, he was
-
able to tell us the different diversities. Amen?
-
and their operations. Thank you, sir. Right?
-
And then in a way of classification, amen, just
-
to be able to help us. Praise God. And those
-
classifications have been done based on how the...
-
Okay. Please. Yes, but it will keep doing that
-
because the generator is not. Amen? Hallelujah.
-
Yeah, so we said the gifts are so classified,
-
right? Why? Based on their operation. We have
-
started the teaching, actually. The gifts that
-
Pastor Emmanuel started talking to us about are
-
classified based on their what? Operation. And
-
when we say based on operation, we mean how they
-
function through the recipient of the Holy Spirit,
-
who is the believer. Hallelujah. Amen? So these
-
gifts, right? They have been classified based
-
on their what? Operation, or you can say based
-
on how they function. Through who? Through me.
-
Hallelujah. Through me that I have the Spirit
-
of God. Amen? So now, we have utterance gifts,
-
right? I remember when I was teaching on different
-
kinds of meetings, and then we thought about
-
the Holy Ghost meeting. And we say one of the
-
things, or some of the things that we see in
-
the Holy Ghost meeting first. is that the word
-
of God is taught. Amen? And that is what we've
-
been doing from Monday till now. Amen? Secondly,
-
we now say we see the demonstration of the things
-
of the Spirit. Amen? Yes. So, thirdly, what again,
-
thirdly? Let me see whether we can remember.
-
Let me not say them all. Hmm. You're taking favor
-
upon this thing. Okay. Thirdly, needs are met.
-
Amen? Yes, so thirdly, we see needs are met.
-
Spiritual needs are met. Natural needs are also
-
met. Amen? It's a Holy Ghost meeting. Everything
-
is possible. Hallelujah. Then fourthly, we see
-
men are edified. Amen? Men are built. Hallelujah.
-
Then the last. Somebody should tell me the last.
-
Ah! Somebody should tell me the last. Ah? Ah?
-
Yes, we live rejoicing. Hallelujah. Even though
-
we've been limited for this whole week, on Saturday
-
we'll close down this place. But we'll not bring
-
it down. Amen. Yes, five of them in a Holy Ghost
-
meeting like this. We see the teaching of God's
-
word. Amen. The demonstration of things of the
-
Holy Ghost, which has been happening from Monday
-
till now. Amen. We see needs are met. We see
-
the saints. We all of us are edified. Amen. And
-
then lastly, now we leave what? Rejoicing. Praise
-
God. Hallelujah. The heavy meeting as we're walking
-
out of this door. After a while, boy, every day
-
we live rejoiced. I don't know about you, but
-
there is no meeting. From Monday till now, I've
-
been living this place rejoicing. Praise God.
-
I've been living this place charged up. Amen?
-
And I said something, I was here today before,
-
during the teaching. I think during Pastor Victor's
-
teaching, you know, I was saying that, you see,
-
the believer is not only to be a... Ah, Holy
-
Spirit, remind me. I use electricity to... To
-
put the thing. Not transformer. Conductor, right?
-
Yes, conductor is a transfer current. Yeah, good.
-
The believer is not only supposed to be a conductor.
-
Only. The believer is supposed to be also a capacitor.
-
Right? Yes. Capacitors. You know what capacitors
-
do? They do what? They do what now? They store
-
Tadis. Yes. Praise God. Yeah, we're sorry, we're
-
not all engineers. Sorry, sorry. Yeah, medical
-
by chemist, sorry. Amen? Yeah, you know, it was
-
out of his teaching that Jesus just hit me. That
-
every day, I know I am not empty of touch. The
-
Holy Ghost in me is not reducing. The power of
-
the Holy Ghost in me is not what? Reducing. I
-
am always on charge. I am always full of power.
-
This consciousness must be, must fill you up.
-
I am always on charge. You are always ready.
-
Tell yourself, I'm always ready. When it comes
-
to spiritual things, I am always ready. Yes.
-
It's a consciousness. Pastor Imam Hamad something.
-
He said you are always spiritual. You don't become
-
spiritual on a Sunday morning and on a Monday
-
morning you are out of the spirit. No. You know
-
sometimes we make a joke and say I am in the
-
spirit. Please don't pull me out of the spirit.
-
Let me say this. Very heavy and strong is extreme.
-
The believer can never be pulled out of the Holy
-
Ghost. Hallelujah. You can never be what? Pulled
-
out of the Holy Ghost. And the Holy Ghost cannot
-
pull, and we cannot pull the Holy Ghost out of
-
you. Let me say it now, so that because what
-
I'm about to say now is going to prepare somebody's
-
heart. No amount of sin you will commit in this
-
heart, you will kill. take blood and drink it,
-
ice it and drink. Eat human meat. It will not
-
release the Holy Ghost out of you. I'm telling
-
you this by the Spirit of God. So probably maybe
-
you're feeling, oh, I think, why I cannot play
-
in tongues is because, you know, yesterday I
-
just went and I took a small shot of a white
-
label or red horse or red label. I think, you
-
know, the scripture says I should not be filled.
-
with so much wine, but with the Holy Ghost. But
-
I now, yesterday, I was filled with the wine.
-
So, you know, when you are filled with wine,
-
you cannot be filled with the Holy Ghost. So,
-
I tell you, I have a problem now in this service.
-
No. So, if you are here, don't condemn yourself
-
that why the things of the Spirit is not flowing
-
through your life, you are not seeing it, is
-
because of your limitations. This is by the Spirit
-
of God. Now, I'm saying it to somebody now by
-
the Spirit of God. Amen? You see, the things
-
God has done, your works cannot make them perfect.
-
All the things God has done, Jesus, the price
-
he has paid, you cannot work to be able to qualify.
-
You say, sir, you know what? Throughout this
-
week, I've been fasting so that I can qualify
-
for a prophetic word. So that I can qualify.
-
You know, I know they will ask us to give a what?
-
An interpretation of the word. So what I'm going
-
to do is, I'm going to fast. I'm going to fast.
-
In fact, all the food I'm doing, I've been piling
-
them up now. If you check my fridge, day one,
-
day two, day three, day four, till day seven.
-
You know, I want after. Then I can come back.
-
But for now, throughout the week, I am on it.
-
Because I need a word. I must give a word. Rest
-
has come to you. Let me say this now. Hallelujah.
-
I said something here that somebody said some
-
time ago. He said, eat, sleep, and what? And
-
prophesy. You know, in a way, it looks like,
-
what are you trying to say? It just defies your
-
work. It defies human effort. What Jesus has
-
done for you, human effort cannot give qualification
-
for it. You can only respond to that by faith.
-
This morning, every morning, I do my best to
-
follow the Baba. I mentioned his name here. You
-
know, this morning they brought a woman. And
-
then the man was praying. They brought a deaf
-
boy, one year, among many miracles. The boy was
-
deaf, one year, deaf. He has never heard. You
-
know, this Baba just came and said, you know,
-
he has been deaf by a spirit. It's a spirit that
-
made him deaf. He's going to hear right now.
-
The mom, the mother's mom, the father, the mother's
-
father, all of them, the other daughters, they
-
were there. You know, the Baba just came to the
-
child and put his hand in the ear and just say,
-
ear open. You know, the one -year -old boy started
-
hearing noise around and holding his ear for
-
the first time. Boy, tears just started gathering
-
in my eyes. He called many cases. A man, I'm
-
saying this now because something is going to
-
happen here. You know, he called a man and the
-
man has been complaining. I don't know how the
-
Baba knows names of so many diseases. But he
-
has been calling names. He was there, he called
-
the name by the spirit. The man came out. And
-
then he called the man after he prayed for the
-
man. The man fell under the anointing. He brought
-
food for him. He said, eat the food. He ate the
-
food and his throat was cleared. You see, the
-
power of the Holy Ghost is not to be used tomorrow.
-
It's not to be used next year. The manifestation,
-
all the things that we are discussing is our
-
reality now. This is our life. This is our song.
-
This is our what? This is our reality. We are
-
not saying something for the future. We're saying
-
something where? Now. That healing can take place
-
when? Now. Through our hands. Man of God taught
-
us on laying of hands. That I will hear a case.
-
Far, far, far from here to one village in Nigeria.
-
And I will tell them by the Spirit. Can you just
-
lay hands on the person? I believe. You can have
-
it. But the things of the Spirit, we are not
-
believing. In fact, you can be seated here and
-
take loads and take loads throughout this meeting,
-
but you have not believed it. You'll never see
-
its workings. Never. I choose to believe the
-
things of the Holy Ghost. I choose to believe
-
the power of the Holy Ghost. I choose to believe
-
the manifestation of the Spirit of God. Can we
-
just pray in the Holy Ghost? Can we just pray
-
in the Holy Ghost? These things are happening.
-
I look forward. You know, I was there on my bed
-
this morning. I was watching this, Baba. With
-
the eyes of faith, I say, no, I'm going to move
-
to places. I will lay hands and many eyes will
-
open. Many ears will open. I will see people
-
baptized with the Holy Ghost. My eyes begin to
-
see conferences, meetings, and I'm ready. Everywhere
-
I go, I am open. I'm flexible to the flow of
-
the things of the Holy Ghost. So can you just
-
open up your mouth in the Holy Ghost? Can you
-
open up your mouth in the Holy Ghost? Please
-
don't be limited. Don't be limited. Don't be
-
limited. This is one of the things that we came
-
here to do. By the Spirit of God. By the Spirit
-
of God. We are changing things. By the Spirit
-
of God. We are causing a turnaround. By the Spirit
-
of God, we take over cities. By the Spirit of
-
God, Pastor Victor, we replace. We bring great
-
joy to cities. Oh, no company. No two or three.
-
No five, ten, ten people. No, no, no, no. Individually.
-
We take off cities. We bring joy to systems.
-
Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit, make our
-
life what it ought to be. Flow through us. Make
-
our life what it ought to be. Make our lives
-
what it ought to be. Make our lives what it ought
-
to be. You are flowing through our hands. You
-
are flowing through our lips. You are walking.
-
You are seeing through our eyes. You are hearing
-
through our ears. You are bringing perceptions
-
to our hearts. Thank you, Holy Ghost. In Jesus'
-
name. So, utterance gifts, these are gifts that
-
say something in or by the Spirit. Utterance
-
gifts, they are things. We are still on the classification.
-
Ultron's gifts are things that are said in or
-
by the Spirit. Amen? Hallelujah. So, please,
-
while we are making much more emphasis on the
-
Spirit, the Spirit, the Spirit, the Spirit, the
-
Spirit, the Spirit, the Spirit, it's because
-
you are spiritual. Hallelujah. And the Spirit
-
of God is indwelling you. Amen? So, on that,
-
we have tongues. Interpretation of tongues and
-
prophecy. Tongues, interpretation of tongues
-
and prophecy. Don't get tired of writing. Don't
-
get tired of reading the Bible. That's why we
-
are here. Amen. I was not happy. I was telling
-
Pastor Iman, is Pastor Iman fine? Other people
-
that were invited to come here, they refused
-
to come. The only thing they know how to invite
-
us is concerts. They will invite us for concerts,
-
but they will never come to a teaching session
-
like this. Immediately I know when they saw that
-
flyer 9 to 5, they wondered what are they going
-
to do. They have not even sent us a feedback.
-
We will not make it. How is this honoring? Even
-
to say we will not be able to be around or we
-
will send one person. They did not. The pastorate
-
know what to do with them. So under our transcript,
-
we have tongues, interpretation of tongues and
-
what? Prophecy. Tongues, interpretation of tongues
-
are what? Why do you think we call them author's
-
gifts? Because they do what? Because they...
-
They are altered, yes. One more. Please, when
-
you respond, it makes us flow fast. Okay, you
-
have spoken, right? Yes, so they involve speaking.
-
Your tongue... Your lips will be used. Amen?
-
And in fact, why we are starting with Ultron's
-
gifts? Because all other gifts take precedence
-
from Ultron's gifts. Amen? All other gifts will
-
find their expression through Ultron's gifts.
-
So when we say healing, for example, when you
-
come to heal the sick, you know, and then the
-
person goes, I can't walk. I can't walk. All
-
trans gifts is involved. Hallelujah. Speakings
-
are involved. Gift of faith. Speakings are involved.
-
Praise God. Walking of miracles. Speakings are
-
involved. Amen. So all that we're going to, we're
-
going to start with all trans gifts because we're
-
going to talk about other gifts too. Amen. But
-
all of them, you understand why they take precedence
-
all from these ones. Praise God. So don't joke.
-
Don't joke with tongues. Interpretation of tongues
-
are what? and prophecy. I'm not saying that these
-
ones are more greater than the others. Amen?
-
Praise God. Hallelujah. But I'm just saying that
-
all other ones will also find expression when
-
we have a proper understanding of this. Hallelujah.
-
Praise God. Don't we now have revelational gifts?
-
These gifts, they are gifts that see or perceive.
-
Perceive things. Gives that see, perceive, hear
-
things by the Spirit or in the Spirit. Hallelujah.
-
So for example, in a meeting like this, you know
-
when we're praying for people for direction?
-
I was still picking things by the Spirit of God.
-
I was receiving lots of promptings. One of the
-
things I received or I heard by the Spirit in
-
my heart, right? Which is a revelational gift,
-
is that... Spirit of fear in someone's heart
-
is banished. Hallelujah. I received that here
-
when I was standing. Amen. And when I came to
-
pray for people here, I had in my spirit, as
-
you lay hands on them, you're going to have,
-
you will know now, know by the Spirit many things.
-
So some of the things you're going to say to
-
them or some of the things I will give you that
-
you're going to say to them will be in the direction
-
of what they are trusting me for. Hallelujah.
-
Revelational gifts. So these gifts, they see,
-
they perceive, share things by the Spirit of
-
God. Amen? Are we there? So under these gifts,
-
we have word of knowledge, word of wisdom, discerning
-
of spirits. Don't worry, we're going to teach
-
all these things. See, the things of the Spirit
-
can be learned, they can be taught. Hallelujah.
-
And then they can be practiced. Glory to God.
-
Word of knowledge, word of wisdom, discerning
-
of spirit. Now we have the power gifts. The power
-
gifts, they relate to doing things. Doing things
-
by the spirit of God. Doing things by the spirit.
-
Doing things, the power gifts. They relate to
-
doing things by the spirit. Actions. Let me use
-
this word. Actions of the spirit. Hallelujah.
-
So we see gifts of healing. working of miracles,
-
and then gift of faith. Amen? Gift of healing,
-
working of miracles, and then what? Gift of faith.
-
So these are all the classification based on
-
operation in the recipient who is the believer
-
of the Holy Ghost. Amen? So now, we are starting
-
with Ultron's gifts in detail now. Tongues. You
-
can write tongue. Tongues. During my NYC, one
-
of the people that we are privileged to lead
-
us, one of those nights he came, he saw us, we
-
were praying in tongues, Pastor Victor's family
-
house, we call it family house. It seemed like
-
my own. Whether you want to catch fire or not,
-
fire must catch you. Because, you know, I would
-
really encourage people here, if you're an Nigerian,
-
please, don't run away from NYC. Right? Yes,
-
try and go and do it. Your life will change.
-
It's already changed now, but it will change
-
more. You know, if you think you read books,
-
you'll find people that are books themselves.
-
If you think you pray, oh boy, you'll find people
-
that their life is prayers. I know what I'm...
-
He knows, Pastor Victor knows. Some of us that
-
have been in family house, they know. So one
-
of these nights, you know, you will be sleeping
-
and snoring. Somebody will enter that, we call
-
it a hall in the house, actually. The person
-
will pray, will pray, Sir, as the person is coming
-
back from PPA, he's praying and praying till
-
morning. You even open the door and check it.
-
You will go back to your room. you will come
-
back and meet them there still praying. I know
-
people in that family house that not once, not
-
twice, they came back from the gate, they set
-
the whole house on fire. Everybody was praying
-
from the gate. So praying in tongues is not show
-
there. And you are not trying to show. You know,
-
just by this action, somebody just joins you.
-
And I will say this now by the Spirit of God.
-
Now, if you are here and you don't pray in tongues,
-
once you see we say, pray in tongues, don't begin
-
to analyze. No, no, do what? Join. Hallelujah.
-
Everywhere you see a manifestation, a display
-
of the things of the Spirit, before you start
-
analyzing it, do what? Join it. You know, this
-
morning as I saw Baba was healing. Strange case
-
is all. I say, ah, I can do this. I started saying,
-
I can do this. I can do this. I can do this.
-
I can do this. I can do this. I can do this.
-
You know, the more I'm watching, the more I'm
-
watching, you know what is happening inside me?
-
I'm trying to look for the next sick person.
-
That's what will begin to happen. See, if you
-
are here and we are praying in tongues and these
-
things are not happening like that inside you,
-
you're not paying attention to what we are doing.
-
If Pastor Victor comes up, And then you begin
-
to see 10, 10 sick people. Blind eyes are open.
-
And the hairs on your body don't rise. And you're
-
beginning to, your faith is being stirred up.
-
And you're saying, I know I can do this too.
-
The Spirit of God dwells in me. You're not paying
-
attention. You know, one night, for whatever
-
reason, I know I encountered one of the videos
-
as I was watching. I was crying. I just shared
-
it to a couple of us in this church. You know?
-
And I didn't know. One of them is Brother Kunda.
-
I just say, just watch this. You know, I didn't
-
know that season, you know, he has been reading
-
books on healing and the rest. So I saw healing,
-
I'm like, oh, is this more? Your environment,
-
when it comes to the things of the spirit, listen
-
to this now. Your environment. will contribute
-
to how fast you grow in the practice of the things
-
of the Spirit or is going to limit the practice
-
of the things of the Spirit in your life. If
-
the only people that surround you don't honor
-
the things of the Spirit, very soon you will
-
despise it. So please, you see, when we say pray
-
in tongues, don't begin to wait. Just jump. Hallelujah.
-
Do what? Yes, just jump. Praise God. So tongues.
-
What is tongue? That's right. Tongues. Mark chapter
-
16 verse 15. Pastor Victor laid a good foundation
-
on this. We're going to build also on it. Amen.
-
Mark chapter 16 verse 15. Thank you Holy Spirit.
-
So don't be tired. We're going to read lots of
-
scriptures. Mark chapter 16, verse what? Verse
Mark 16 chapter mention
-
15, and I read, And he said unto them, Go ye
-
into all the world and preach the gospel to every
-
creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall
-
be saved, but he that believeth not shall be
-
what? 17. And these signs shall follow them that
-
what? That believe. In my name shall they what?
-
Cast out devils. They shall speak with what?
-
With new tongue. See if it's your Bible on the
-
line, the word new tongue. When we say something
-
is new, even though we're economy to deal with
-
it, but let me say it now in passing. When we
-
say something is new, what do we mean? When we
-
say something is new now, okay, let's assume
-
you have been using this one shirt for a long
-
time and it has become uniform. You know, one
-
of these days, you know, You know, I used to
-
use many clothes for a long time. You know, the
-
day, the one month, my wife knows, Pastor Chili,
-
the brothers I stayed with know, the pastors.
-
When I buy new things, I don't keep them, I use
-
them immediately so that you will know me with
-
them very fast. You know, when my captivity was
-
changed and was turned, So that one month, two
-
weeks, I just went and then changed my wardrobe
-
small. So for almost one month straight, every
-
Sunday I was changing clothes. You know, all
-
the sisters, because of the person's costume,
-
you're looking fine. Sir, sir, what's happening
-
now? Everybody was like, ah, sir, we like the
-
way you're looking. Ah, sir, sir, sir. Of course,
-
God bless you. I suddenly became blue. Yes! I've
-
been using one suit like that, one black suit.
-
I did not miss it. I used it black. Became cancer
-
looking like white, white. You know, I was going
-
to Nigeria and I told myself, I just woke up,
-
I was angry. I said, if all these clothes don't
-
leave this wardrobe, my mindset will not change.
-
I went home. I got clothes. I got clothes. I
-
got clothes. I came back. We had an argument
-
with Pastor Victor one time. He encouraged me
-
to change my clothes during PhD. Long time. I
-
said, no, it's not by dressing. You know, I thought
-
they were still encouraging ourselves those times.
-
I told him, I said, no, no, no. He said, no,
-
where we're going, sometimes I say, no, no, no.
-
I still remember the trouser and the shirt. But
-
you see, the new Jesus is talking about is not
-
this kind of new. Hallelujah. The new Jesus is
-
talking about that you're going to see new tongues,
-
which means it has never existed before. From
-
Genesis to now, the only time it's going to happen
-
is at my resurrection. No man has ever spoken
-
in tongues. No man has ever seen such a sign.
-
Hallelujah. But at my resurrection, this sign
-
will be made available for the believer. Praise
-
God. So what is sign? What is sign? The Greek
-
word for sign means, S -E -M -A -I -N -O. Actually,
-
let me just tell us it's Semyon from the root
-
word Semyon. Semyon is S -E -N -E -I -O -N. S
-
-E -M -E -I -O -N from the root word Semyon.
-
S -E -M -A -I -N -O. Semyon from the root word
-
Semyon. That's a Greek word for sign. And what
-
does that mean? It means mark. It means token.
-
It means to indicate, to signify, to make known,
-
to distinguish a thing or a person from others.
-
Hallelujah. Means a mark. Seneon from Seminole
-
means a mark, a token to indicate, to signify,
-
to make known. To distinguish a person or a thing
-
from what? From others. In fact, let me add this
-
to our definition. With exclusive characteristics.
-
With exclusive what? Characteristics. That word
-
sign is a strong word. is used for uncommon events
-
beyond the common cause of nature. Very strong.
-
That's why you saw, you heard and you saw Pastor
-
Victor had to put so much stress on the matter
-
of laying on of what? Of hands as a sign. Hallelujah.
-
Why? Because it's not physical. Amen? One of
-
the things that we establish from that teaching
-
is that laying on of hands is a supernatural
-
what? It's a supernatural activity. Praise God.
-
Likewise, write it. Speaking in tongues, speaking
-
in new tongues is a supernatural activity. Praise
-
God. Hallelujah. It's a supernatural activity.
-
So we say that these signs could distinguish
-
a person, right? From others or a thing. We say
-
they are used for uncommon events. That is events
-
that are beyond the common course of nature.
-
That is why you see we say they are supernatural,
-
what? Activities. They are beyond natural. So
-
the next time you're praying in tongues, in the
-
next minutes we're going to do it, don't see
-
yourself as you're doing a natural thing. Hallelujah.
-
There's something supernatural that you're doing.
-
And you know something? In a way of encouraging
-
you? There is nothing supernatural that does
-
not have effect on the physical. I tell you this
-
now. Nothing supernatural, spiritual, that does
-
not have effect on the what? On the physical.
-
Praise God. So, signs. Signs are circles of miracles
-
or wonders by which God uses. To validate the
-
believer. They are what? Tokens of signs and
-
what? And wonders. God used them to be able to
-
what? To validate the believer. That's why I
-
said exclusive what? Characteristics. Distinguishes
-
the believer from unbeliever. Praise God. So
-
when we read Matthew chapter 12. Let's open to
Matthew 12 chapter mention
-
Matthew chapter 12. Verse 38 to 39. Matthew chapter
Matthew 12 chapter mention Matthew 12 chapter mention
-
12. So we'll just see where, just two, three
-
scriptures, because I've already made emphasis
-
on that. Matthew chapter 12, verse 38. See what
-
the scripture says. Then certain of the scribes
-
and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master,
-
we will see a sign from what? From thee. They
-
want something exclusive. They want something
-
that goes exclusive, that goes beyond the common
-
cause of nature. They want something to indicate.
-
They want an indication, amen? He said, but he
-
answered and said unto them, an evil and adulterous,
-
what? Adulterous generation, secret after what?
-
A sign. And there shall no sign be what? Given
-
to it but the sign of what? Prophet Jonah. Every
-
time you see sign, it's written in the scripture,
-
it's indicative. So when you hear a sign, you
-
say, let's read that mark again, so that we'll
-
put it in context now. When you hear, for example,
-
the scripture, we'll say, you said, in my name,
-
they cast out what? Devils. They indicate something
-
supernatural. Hallelujah. You say, how is it
-
that you cast out a spirit by another spirit?
-
You are using the spirit of Beelzebub. They know
-
that the spirit of Beelzebub is not a natural
-
spirit. Hallelujah. And for Christ to cast out
-
devils, he must be operating from a supernatural
-
realm. The believer always operates from the
-
supernatural realm. You can never know him from
-
the natural. Hallelujah. That is why all things
-
are possible for the believer. All things. All
-
things. Can you say all things are possible with
-
me? Because I have the Spirit of God in me. Yes,
-
that's your reality. Another reference again,
-
Matthew 26, 48. Sign. Sign. Matthew 26, 48. And
-
I'll just give us one and then we add it as just.
-
Matthew 26, 48. See what the scripture says.
-
Now he that betrayed him, give them a what? A
-
sign saying, whomsoever I shall tease. That saying
-
is he to hold him not, hold him fast. He said,
-
with an indication of a kiss. Exclusively. Just,
-
just grabbing. Many people were there, but he
-
said, anyone that I come and do what? And just
-
give him what? A sign of a kiss. Don't even ask,
-
are you Jesus? Just do what? Just grab him. Hallelujah.
-
Hallelujah. Praise God. Praise God. So with this
-
understanding, can we go back now to Matthew,
-
chapter 16 and read. Since we say signs, exclusive.
-
You know, supernatural activity. Beyond the course
-
of common nature. Signs, wonders. Through the
-
believer in Christ Jesus. Can we read Mark 16
-
now? And he said unto them, Go ye into what?
-
All the world. Right? And preach the gospel to
-
every what? He that... In my name shall they
-
cast out devils. They shall speak with what?
-
With new tongues. Praise God. Hallelujah. So
-
what we see here, that signs are for believers.
-
Amen. He said, this sign shall follow them that
-
what? That believe. Praise God. So which means
-
speaking with a new tongue is exclusive only
-
to them that what? That believe. If you see anybody
-
speaking in other tongues and he does not believe
-
in Jesus, the death, burial, and resurrection
-
of Jesus. Know that that such a man, right, is
-
operating with the spirit of Beelzebub. If you
-
enter any place and you see somebody, he's speaking
-
with other tongues and the person does not believe
-
in Jesus, he does not believe in the death, burial
-
and of importance and significance, the resurrection
-
of who? Of Christ. Know that such a man is operating
-
with the help of demons. I'm telling you this
-
now. So be careful. I will say this now. It's
-
coming to my heart now to many people now. There
-
are a couple of you that you are in 10 WhatsApp
-
groups on WhatsApp. You are in 15 groups on Instagram.
-
25 on TikTok. 31 on Snapchat. All of them, you're
-
following prayers. Prayers, prayers. One prophetic
-
group. One, see and grab. The other one, all.
-
Power must change hands. Different groups. The
-
other, challenge your challenger. You're in that
-
group. The one on Instagram is... Understand
-
your destiny by looking at the sky. You are there.
-
I tell you, for free, leave those groups. Praise
-
God. Do what? Don't turn to your right and left
-
so that they will not say I'm speaking. Just
-
look at me. So that they will not say you're
-
the one. Leave this group. If not, you're going
-
to have oppressions from demons. It's working,
-
right? Praise God. Hallelujah. So now, we realize
-
now that signs are what? Signs are what? For
-
believers. Hallelujah. So where we come to tongues
-
now? Amen. Where we come to what? Tongues. Quote
-
and unquote. Now in the New Testament, right,
-
which we have been taught now that there's nothing
-
Old Testament or what? New Testament. We call
-
the whole Bible what? Holy Scriptures. They are
-
forgotten, sir. This thing will enter your DNA,
-
don't worry. Praise God. Holy what? Scriptures,
-
amen? So what we see from Matthew, what we see
-
in the epistles, we see Paul's writings happens
-
to be, Apostle Paul has been the one that has
-
been able to write a comprehensive teaching for
-
us on what? On tongues, amen? So for example,
-
let's read Jude. Let's read Jude now. When you
-
see Jude, Jude 1 .20. Jude 1 .20 just tells us,
-
it says, But yea, beloved, building up your most
-
holy faith, praying in the Spirit. If you're
-
using the version, praying in the Holy Ghost.
-
You won't see any other thing again. The next
-
verse says, Keep yourselves in the love of God,
-
looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ
-
unto what? Eternal life. Amen. Yes, so you won't
-
see another place again where tongues are being
-
taught or written or verses. Where you see is
-
Paul's writings teaching about what? Tongues,
-
tongues, tongues, tongues. Praise God. 1 Corinthians
1 Corinthians 12 chapter mention
-
chapter 12, about tongues. He goes to 13. About
-
tongues. He goes to 14. About tongues. So in
-
the epistles we have 1 Corinthians chapter 12.
1 Corinthians 12 chapter mention
-
1 Corinthians chapter 13. 1 Corinthians chapter
1 Corinthians 13 chapter mention 1 Corinthians 14 chapter mention
-
14. About tongues. Then we have Jude. Jude 20.
-
Just a verse there. Amen. Hallelujah. And then
-
we have Lent also. Now we can't use just one
-
verse and do what? And do the doctrine out of
-
it. Amen. Praise God. Hallelujah. So now, somewhere
-
past three months, as has taught us, we see in
-
1 Corinthians 12, right? Paul classifying the
-
things of the Spirit for us. Let's go to 1 Corinthians
-
12, 4 -7. 1 Corinthians 12, 4 -7. 1 Corinthians
-
12, 4 -7. Now there are diversities of what?
-
Now we are still being in 10. to another working
-
of miracles, to another prophecy, to another
-
discerning of spirits, to another diverse kinds
-
of tongues, to another interpretation of what?
-
Tongues, 11 now. But all these working at one
-
and the same spirit, dividing to every mass severally
-
as what? As he will. Hallelujah. Yes, so we ended
-
the last session saying the word manifestation
-
of the spirit is from the Greek word what? It's
-
from the Greek word words class. Ah. Phanerosis.
-
Please. You see, if... If I teach, even in the
-
natural, everybody must respond in my class.
-
If not, we'll end by questions. Just tear out
-
a sheet of paper and we'll write a fast quiz.
-
Amen? Yes, so please, I need your attention.
-
Amen? So, Phanerosis, right? Praise God. So,
-
that word Phanerosis is from the root word Phaino.
-
Phanerosis is from the root word what? Phaino.
-
D -H -A -I -N -O. Phaino. Which implies to unveil,
-
to open, to make bare, to become evident. Plainly
-
recognize. To be seen. To appear to the mind.
-
Let me repeat myself again. Which implies to
-
unveil, to open, to make bare, to become evident.
-
To plainly recognize. To be seen. To appear to
-
the mind. All this will happen to meet the eyes.
-
Hallelujah. So all the things that will be unveiled,
-
all the things that will be made bare, all the
-
things that are going to be unraveled, all those
-
things that will become evident, that will be
-
plainly recognized, they will meet the what?
-
The eyes. So the eyes will be able to what? To
-
see them. Praise God. So which means the mind
-
can perceive them and the eyes will do what?
-
Will see them. Praise God. That's the word final
-
of anerosis. And we see Paul applied the same
-
word, 2 Corinthians 4, verse 2. Don't miss me.
-
We are talking about manifestation. 2 Corinthians
-
4, verse 2. But have renounced from verse 1.
-
Let's start reading from verse 1. Therefore,
-
seeing we have this ministry, as we have received
-
mercy, we do what? We faint not, but have received
-
the hidden things of dishonesty. Ah, sorry. But
-
we have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty,
-
not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word
-
of God deceitfully, but by what? But by manifestation
-
of the what? Truth, commending ourselves to every
-
man's conscience in what? In the sight of God.
-
You see, this context is different from the context
-
that Paul was giving to the church. Hallelujah.
-
He said here, he said, but by the manifestation
-
of the truth. That through the truth, amen, commending
-
ourselves to every man's what? Conscience in
-
the sight of God. Hallelujah. But the word manifestation
-
from where we are coming from in 1 Corinthians,
-
if you read carefully, pay attention now, let's
-
go there. That 1 Corinthians chapter 12, he says
1 Corinthians 12 chapter mention
-
what? Seven, but what? By manifestation? It says
-
what? Please, can you stop showing this thing?
-
Let everybody read their Bible. I love you. Thank
-
you. But by manifestation? Verse 7. 1 Corinthians
-
12 verse 7. But by manifestation of the Spirit
-
is given to every man to profit. What's your
-
Bible saying? But the... manifestation. A definite
-
article. Hallelujah. But the manifestation of
-
what? Of the Spirit. When we say, but the manifestation
-
of custom, what do we mean? Say it. But the manifestation.
-
Yes, doctor. Huh? Of the what? Say it. It's coming.
-
unveiling of custom. Hallelujah. The making bare
-
of custom. Praise God. That is why Pastor Emma
-
said that it's not the gifts, the Holy Ghost.
-
Holy Ghost himself is the gifts. Hallelujah.
-
The manifestation of the Holy Ghost. Praise God.
-
That is why the word is not the manifestations
-
of the Holy Ghost. But the word, the manifestation,
-
a definite article. Amen. And that word, that
-
word, the manifestation is referring to something
-
specific. And that in that context, that something
-
specific is what? The Holy Ghost. Hallelujah.
-
Praise God. So the Holy Ghost, the unveiling
-
of the Holy Ghost. Amen. He said that, Lord,
-
the making bare of the Holy Ghost, the mind will
-
be able to perceive it. Hallelujah. And it will
-
meet the eyes. Praise God. Hallelujah. So when
-
there is healing taking place here, it will meet
-
the eyes. When there is a prophetic word given,
-
it will do what? It will meet the eyes. Praise
-
God. So now, we now see another word in that
-
place, is it? It's given to every man. Hallelujah.
-
So we know what the manifestation is, right?
-
Is he talking about gifts or is he talking about
-
the Spirit? He's talking about the Spirit, right?
-
Good. So now, what we say now, the making bear
-
of the Spirit, right, is given to every man.
-
So underline the word every man. Because we want
-
to know, that word every man, what does it mean?
-
That word every man, what does it mean? So when
-
we go to verse 3, everybody, let's go to verse
-
3. Wherefore I give you to understand that no
-
man speaking by the Spirit of God, call it Jesus,
-
what? Accursed. And that no man can say that
-
Jesus is the Lord, but by what? The Holy Ghost
-
or by the Holy Spirit. Amen? Praise God. So when
-
we go to now, 8 to 10 now, everybody. For to
-
one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom,
-
to another the word of knowledge by the Spirit,
-
to another faith by the same Spirit, to another
-
the gifts of healing by the same Spirit, to another
-
the working of miracles, to another prophecy,
-
to another discerning of spirits, to another
-
diverse kinds of what? Tongues. To another the
-
what? The interpretation of what? Of tongues.
-
Sorry, please. To another, the interpretation
-
of what? Of tongues, right? So that verse 3,
-
we're coming to that now. I need you to read
-
that because we're coming to that. So that verse
-
3, he said, no man can say that Jesus is Lord
-
by what? By the Holy Ghost. So who can say Jesus
-
is the Lord but by the Holy Ghost? Who can say
-
that? The believer. Remarks of the 10. Remarks
-
of the 10. Verse 9. That if thou shalt confess
-
with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe
-
in thy heart that God hath raised him from the
-
dead, thou shalt be what? Saved. So who can say
-
the Lord Jesus? Who can confess the Lord Jesus?
-
The believer, the man that is saved. Hallelujah.
-
He is the one that can say by the Spirit of God
-
that Jesus is what? Is the Lord. Hallelujah.
-
So when we say, In verse 7 of that first Corinthians
1 Corinthians 12 chapter mention
-
chapter 12, where we say it is given to every
-
man. So who are we saying this kind of manifestation
-
is given to? To the believer. Praise God. Amen?
-
So only the believer is permitted, is legalized,
-
has been licensed to experience the manifestation
-
of the Spirit of God. Are we all together? Are
-
we all here? Is it becoming clearer? Glory to
-
God. Hallelujah. And we now say something, verse
-
8 now. Four to one is given by the Spirit, the
-
word of wisdom. Amen? Four to one. To another,
-
the word of knowledge by what? So that word four,
-
because when you read that place from verse 8
-
to 10, it will seem as though it's trying to
-
classify different believers and say, to Custon
-
is giving word of knowledge and then to Prince
-
is only word of wisdom. And Prince, when they
-
say, Prince, can you give a word of knowledge,
-
a prophetic? He said, ah, sir, the last time
-
I checked, me, I just have only word of, only
-
word of knowledge. In fact, how do you even give
-
prophetic words, sir? You know, we'll be put
-
in this prophetic realm. You would like to show
-
yourselves. You see, We that we are discerning,
-
we are giving discerning of spirit, we don't
-
talk. We just stay from our corner and just discern
-
spirits. But you see, because we don't have the
-
prophetic, we don't really talk too much. Praise
-
God. But however, in the past, we've been taught
-
like that. That you can only have one and you
-
can't have many. So, you know, when there's a
-
call for gift of healing, and then you remember
-
that your own is only what? Tongues or interpretation
-
of tongues? You leave the WhatsApp group. Because
-
it's not your time to shine. No. Hallelujah.
-
The believer has all the gifts of the Holy Ghost.
-
Praise God. Why? Because the believer has the
-
Spirit of God. Amen? So that word for, verse
-
8 now, that word for, are we all there? That
-
word for was translated from the Greek word gar,
-
G -A -R. That word for is important what we are
-
doing in this season. What we are building now
-
is going to help us in all the remaining part
-
of the teaching. That's why you see I'm taking
-
time on it. That word for in verse 8, it says
-
fail to one, right? Is that what your scripture
-
says? So that word for is from the Greek word
-
what? Da. And that word da, it implies or means
-
explanation. Reason. Reason and explanation.
-
So when you make a statement, you want to further
-
explain the statement. Amen? So for example,
-
now when we go back to verse 7, we say, but the
-
manifestation of the Spirit. It is given to every
-
man to do what? To profit with all. 4 to 1, right?
-
So you want to further give explanation to what?
-
To verse 7. Amen? You are not trying to classify
-
what verse 7 has mentioned. Praise God. Amen?
-
Good now. And what is the context of verse 7?
-
so that I know you're with me. The context of
-
verse 7 is about what? Holy Spirit, right? Holy
-
Spirit, now what is happening to Holy Spirit?
-
Yeah, the Holy Spirit is unveiling, right? Yes,
-
it's being evident, right? It will be plainly
-
revealed, right? And when the Holy Ghost is plainly
-
revealed, it will what? It will lit the eyes.
-
Hallelujah. Praise God. Perfect. So now, that
-
word God means what? Reason and explanation.
-
So we say this can be applied to further explain
-
from our previous verse 9 in verse 7. Right?
-
So we see that verse 8 is a continuation of what?
-
Of verse 7. Praise God. Amen? So what we read?
-
Afterwards, from verse 8. Can you see verse 8,
-
everybody? Let's go to verse 8 now. Verse 8 to
-
10. Do you know that from verse 8 to 10 is the
-
same communication? You know it's the same communication,
-
right? Let's read it together now. One to go.
-
Can you see that there's no full stop there?
-
Next, verse 9. gifts of healing by the same Spirit.
-
10. To another, the walking of miracles. To another,
-
prophecy. To another, diverse kinds of tongues.
-
To another, interpretation of tongues. 11. Now,
-
but all these walketh that one and self same
-
Spirit dividing towards every man severely as
-
what? As he will. Can you see that it's a complete
-
communication? Is that how it is in your Bible?
-
Praise God. So now, That word, for, we said explanation,
-
right? Then what does it mean to one? It says
-
for to one. That to one, does it mean to a one
-
believer, to second believer, to third believer,
-
to fourth believer? What does it mean? It's important
-
because we must know it. It's going to help us
-
when we begin to practice the things of the Spirit,
-
amen? For to one. So that word, to one. That
-
word, to one and to another. You know, if you
-
observe the verse 8 says, so to learn is given
-
what? By the Spirit. Then there's another place
-
here, to another. The word of knowledge. Verse
-
9 says that how? To another. In that verse 9,
-
he said, okay, verse 10, he started by another
-
what? To another. There's another place again,
-
to another. Prophecy. To another. Designing of
-
Spirit. To another. So we have two words there.
-
To one and to another, it does not refer to as
-
interpreted in your English language. You know,
-
in English language, when we say, can you pass
-
this pen to Pastor Fred? You're already giving
-
direction, right? You're already saying that
-
this pen should directly go to who? To this particular
-
person. Amen? But you see, because... This scripture
-
is not written in English language. You can't
-
just automatically infer that meaning to it.
-
That because the scripture says four to one,
-
you say, ah, to one means to this believer. To
-
another, it means to another believer. To the
-
third believer, you can't say that. Amen? So
-
we now have to go to the original context in
-
which the scripture has been written to be able
-
to have a clear understanding about what's...
-
Paul was speaking. Amen? Are we all here? Are
-
we all here? Okay. So now, that's a misconception
-
that we're about clearing now. Praise God. Because
-
he didn't say to another, he said to Sister Chokobleke,
-
his word of wisdom. To Brother Kokoko, his word
-
of wisdom. Chimbunku is only divine miracles.
-
You are using your English head, which we are
-
coming to it now, when we go a little bit deeper
-
now. When it comes to the things of the Spirit,
-
it's important, but you don't use your English
-
head to it. Praise God. Amen? You will see where
-
your mind comes to play. And it's going to help
-
us here when we practice the things of the Spirit.
-
Praise God. So don't be in a haste. You see these
-
thin tongues? See this interpretation of tongues?
-
So far so good. Did I say anything that is not
-
scriptural? Did I say anything? Please, if you
-
are doubting though, and you have time, You can
-
open BLB. This is a teaching center. And be checking
-
and be following. Amen? Is there anything that
-
we have said that is not in the Bible? No? Okay,
-
good. So now, we can use interlinear and ETC.
-
So that works to one. If you take the Greek word
-
to one or two. It's not, like I say, it's not
-
your English word referring to give a direction.
-
It's horse. Greek word is horse. H -O -S. H -O
-
-S. Horse. That word to one, to. H -O -S. Horse.
-
Which implies a form of article as they. T -H
-
-E. Or we can say that. What. Which. Who. To
-
one. That word to. The Greek word for it is what?
-
Is horse. H -O -S. It implies or means what?
-
The. A definite article. That word T -H -E. Right?
-
Or what? Or that? Or which? Or who? Amen? So,
-
and it serves as what? It's a demonstrative pronoun.
-
So, because we are talking about explaining.
-
So, we say verse 8 is explaining what? Verse
-
7, right? Yes. So, what we say, let's do small
-
English. What is pronoun? Pronoun now. Somebody
-
say before now. Is used in place. Of a noun,
-
right? Good. So, we said demonstrated pronoun.
-
What do we mean? What is a noun? English. So,
-
verse 7. Who is the noun in verse 7? The Holy
-
Spirit. So, which means that verse 8 will be
-
that we want to give further explanation to what?
-
To the matter or the discourse in what? In verse
-
7. It will not be that we are introducing another
-
noun. Amen? We are not introducing another person
-
in verse 8. We are still talking about who? The
-
Holy Ghost. Amen? Stay with me. Praise God. So
-
now, then we now, if we check now, it says, verse
-
8, 4 to 1 is given by what? By the Spirit. So
-
that word, by, that word, by the Spirit, is translated
-
from the word, Dia, D -I -A. You see, it's not
-
your English words because this Bible was never
-
written in English. And that is why it's important
-
that we are learning this. It's going to help
-
us. Bye. Some people have pen. They are not even
-
writing with it. So I saw him do it like this.
-
Uh -huh. You see, Paso Vico came with extra.
-
So that word by, thank you, Holy Spirit. Hello
-
there. So it's translated from the word, Greek
-
word, what? The Greek word for it is dia, which
-
means because of. Because of. Because of who?
-
So we give further explanation. That which, who,
-
what, then by, because of the Spirit. Amen? Then
-
we now go to the world to another. Because these
-
are keywords from that conversation, right? For
-
to one, and then what? To another. There has
-
been a repetition of to another, to another,
-
to another, right? So, we're going to get these
-
two phrases together because they're going to
-
help us link the entire context. So that we will
-
know whether it's talking about different people
-
or it's still talking about the Holy Ghost. Amen?
-
That word, to another, was translated from the
-
Greek word, de. D -E. And which means also, noun,
-
moreover. It means also, noun, moreover, order.
-
Also, now, moreover, what? Order, to another.
-
Also, order. Amen? Moreover, order. Praise God.
-
Now, order. Amen? Are we all there? So we can
-
see that the word to one or to another will now...
-
Tell us more about the gifts of the Spirit. Which
-
he mentioned in 8 to what? To 10. Praise God.
-
Amen. He will not be talking about the what?
-
He will not be talking about humans. He will
-
be talking about what? The gifts. So now let
-
me tie up the place for us now. Let's go to verse
-
7. With this understanding. But the unveiling
-
or the making bare of the Spirit is given to
-
all believers. To do what? To profit with all.
-
Hallelujah. What is the word for that we said?
-
Reason. Right? And because of this reason, right?
-
It's given by the Spirit. Word of what? Wisdom.
-
So, through the Spirit, word of wisdom is what?
-
Is giving. Hallelujah. Are we all there? What
-
is to another? Also, praise God. Thank you. Some
-
people are with me. Also, the word of what? Other.
-
That word other is another noun. Also, the word
-
of knowledge. Moreover, the word of what? Knowledge,
-
sorry, wisdom, word of wisdom. Moreover, the
-
word of knowledge by what? The same Spirit. So
-
when we are saying this, when the Holy Ghost
-
is unveiled, when the Holy Ghost is made bare
-
through the believer, you're going to see what?
-
A display of word of wisdom. You're going to
-
see a display of word of knowledge. You're going
-
to see a display of what? You're going to see
-
a display of gifts of spirit. You're going to
-
see a display of walking of miracles. You're
-
going to see a display of another, of prophecy.
-
You're going to see a display of kinds of tongues.
-
You're going to see a display of what? Of interpretation
-
of what? Of tongues. All this will be happening
-
in how many people? In how many people? All believers,
-
right? So which means, if I meet one believer,
-
I can see what? All of them in that believer.
-
So that place is not talking about one believer.
-
You see, all that we did. When you go home, go
-
and sit down, open it and go through it. Carry
-
concordance from anywhere. Sit down and... Amen?
-
You realize that... One believer has a word of
-
wisdom. You have a word of faith. No, no, no,
-
no, no, no. Remember, we can't love because it's
-
for. To give explanation to what? To verse 7.
-
So, we're not saying that when the Holy Ghost
-
is made bare. When the Holy Ghost is revealed,
-
is made plain. As the Holy Ghost meets the eye.
-
These are the things we are going to see. Praise
-
God. And it's happening through the believer.
-
Amen. So he has done good work about that. But
-
let's just run over it. 1 Corinthians 12, 4.
-
That verse 4. He said, Now there are what? Diversities
-
of geeks, but what? The same spirit. Have you
-
noticed that? All through from that verse 4,
-
it has been the same spirit, the same spirit,
-
the same spirit, the same spirit, the same spirit.
-
All this communication is about this. All these
-
events, activities are happening in the room.
-
in that same believer that carries the Holy Ghost.
-
Hallelujah. Praise God. Hallelujah. This knowledge
-
is important because it's going to help us. What
-
is diversity? Tell me, help me, help me. There
-
are races, right? Yes, so. When you see verse
-
4, it says there are diversities of gifts, but
-
the saying, I would say that diversity is what?
-
Diversities, from the root word, D -I -R -E -O.
-
D -I -R -E -O. To separate a singular thing.
-
Amen? To divide into parts. We have one thing,
-
and we are dividing it into what? Diversities.
-
D -I -R -E -O. And then to distribute a single
-
thing. Into what? Into parts. Praise God. So
-
we see. A singular thing separated into varieties.
-
Into these things. You know. More than one thing.
-
Out of one. Hallelujah. Word of wisdom. Out of
-
who? The Holy Ghost. Word of knowledge. Out of
-
who? The Holy Ghost. Prophecy. Out of who? The
-
Holy Ghost. Geeks of healing. Out of who? The
-
Holy Ghost. Did you see Jesus heal? Was there
-
another Jesus raising the dead? Was there another
-
Jesus opening the blind eyes? Was there another
-
Jesus walking in word of knowledge? How many
-
Jesus were raising the dead? Were there ten Jesus?
-
How many? One Jesus. We see Peter opening the
-
blind eyes. Did you hear another Peter again
-
raising the lame man? No. How many Peters? One
-
Peter, hallelujah. One Peter has all the diuresis
-
of the Holy Ghost. Hallelujah. One Costin having
-
all the diuresis of the Holy Ghost. Praise God.
-
One Alec having all the diuresis of what? Of
-
the Holy Ghost. Hallelujah. Can we pray in the
-
Holy Ghost in two minutes? Can you say thank
-
you, Holy Spirit, that to me all these things
-
have been made bare? Through me, all these things
-
are being made bare. Through me, all these things
-
are being made bare. Through me, all these things
-
are being made bare. If you are following or
-
you are online, through you, all these things
-
can be made bare. They can be made bare. They
-
can be made bare because you have the Spirit
-
of God in your inside. Oh, you have all of them
-
inside you. You have all of them inside you.
-
You have all of them inside you. You don't have
-
some of them. You have them in full measure.
-
You have them in full measure by the Spirit of
-
God. We bless you, Lord. In Jesus' name we pray.
-
In the name of Jesus. So if you're writing like
-
this, tongues. Is tongue a language unique to
-
the church or believers in Christ? Is tongues,
-
in fact, let me put it this way. Is tongue only
-
a language unique to the church believers in
-
Christ? Question mark. Is tongues only, is tongues
-
only because, you know, one of our pastors wrote
-
a book, Must Every Christian Speak in Tongues?
-
Very rich book. I left it in Nigeria a while.
-
addressing why tongues is for every believer.
-
Praise God. Because he has met a couple of people,
-
right, from different sects of the church, different
-
denominations, that's what I mean, that don't
-
believe that tongues is for every believer. So
-
is tongues for every believer? That's what that
-
place is saying. Praise God. Is every believer
-
supposed to speak in tongues? If you're here,
-
if you have that question in your heart, the
-
Holy Spirit will answer it. Amen? And after then,
-
you know one of these days, which we're going
-
to do probably maybe tomorrow or next, when we
-
say pray, we'll tell two people, we say put your
-
ear on the person right here. Is he praying in
-
tongues? Or is he saying what? You know, some
-
people, when we say pray in tongues, they switch
-
to French. Straight. You know? So why you just
-
put your ear? You say, ah, my ear. Or they switch
-
straight to King Rwanda. Or switch to one language.
-
Well, you see, by the Spirit of God, we know
-
the language we are speaking here. Can anybody
-
raise his hands? Let's do this by the Spirit
-
of God. That is if you believe in what we are
-
about doing. But if you don't believe it, however,
-
still raise your hand because you still speak
-
in tongues. Amen? Can you say in Jesus' name,
-
I believe that I have the Spirit of God in me
-
and I believe that I have all the diversities
-
of the Spirit in me and I believe I can speak
-
in tongues. and also interpret the tongues by
-
the Spirit of God. Hallelujah. Yes, that's your
-
reality. Amen? So, but however, let's look at
-
it in the Word. Amen? So, 1 Corinthians 14, verse
-
2. 1 Corinthians 14, verse 2. And we'll build
-
from here tomorrow by God's grace. So tomorrow
-
in the morning, it's not going to be like this.
-
Amen? Yeah, so it's going to be a marathon. From
-
one scripture, I will come here with a serious
-
face. Very serious. Right? Yes, tomorrow I will
-
come with a serious face. The only person that
-
is permitted that I will joke with, right, is
-
my wife. Yes. Yes, so I will come here with a
-
serious face from beginning to end. If I don't
-
joke with her. You know. Praise God. The Lord
-
will give you understanding. You know. Yeah,
-
so. And then we go. Amen. But let's just read
-
this and then we stop here and we're going to
-
pray. Hallelujah. In fact, with what we have
-
done in verse 7 and verse 8. Amen. It's sufficient
-
for us to start out something. Hallelujah. Praise
-
God. It's sufficient for us to do what? To start
-
out something here right now. Hallelujah. 14
-
verse 2 now. For he. For he. Let's start from
-
verse 1. Follow after charity. Right? And desire
-
what? Spiritual gifts. But rather that ye may.
-
Write this definition for tongues now. You see,
-
I've closed my Bible now. Write this definition
-
for tongues. Tongues. It's translated from the
-
Greek word glossa. Glossa or lalia. Glossa. G
-
-L -O -S -S -A. Glossa or lalia. L -A -L -E -A.
-
Glossa lalia. Glossa or what? Lalia. Which refer
-
to a dialect. A dialect. Dialect. When we say
-
dialect, we mean language, which refers to a
-
dialect, a language, in speaking, talking, or
-
uttering words. So we're joining glosa, lalia
-
together, amen? So glosa or lalia means dialect
-
or language in what? Speaking, talking, or what?
-
Or uttering words. Hands! When we say I speak
-
in tongues or in other tongues, it's primarily
-
a supernatural ability. Pastor Victor said it.
-
Laying on of hands is a supernatural activity.
-
Amen. So also with Grosalalia. Speaking in tongues
-
is a supernatural what? Ability. Activity. In
-
the spirit of every what? Believer. Praise God.
-
Let me say the line you wrote for the last time
-
and we rise to our feet now and do some activities.
-
Hallelujah. Hands. Punks. Punks. Is formerly
-
a supernatural what? Ability in the spirit of
-
the believer. So it's an innate ability. When
-
we say innate ability, we mean something that
-
is natural to the believer. Hallelujah. The believer
-
does not learn it. When we say something is innate,
-
it's not learned. It comes factory fitted. Amen.
-
When you receive the Holy Ghost, inside the Holy
-
Ghost, you also receive new tongues. Praise God.
-
Nobody needs to teach you. Amen. Hallelujah.
-
We're going to build on that tomorrow morning.
-
Can we rise to our feet?
