sorry, before we continue the message. Sorry
if you are new and this is your first time. In
this church, we are always drunk like this in
the Holy Ghost. There are two people here. The
Lord has been putting so much in your heart this
week. You know, regarding the work of ministry.
Most especially to the youths. You see yourself
teaching youths. Who are the people that pray
for you? Who are the people? Where is Victory?
Victory, join them. Your last week during service,
I saw it upon him. Amen. I saw Victory teaching
a group of youths. Praise God. Hallelujah. Come
on, join them. Come on, join them. I see you.
I see youths before you. Every one of us is close
to the work of ministry. But I see you specifically,
I see youth. I see youth before you. Yes. Hallelujah.
Please, Pastor Osaka, can we just pray for them?
Can you pray in the Holy Ghost towards them?
Can you pray in the Holy Ghost? Can you pray
in the Holy Ghost, please? Pray in the Holy Ghost.
Stretch forth your hands towards these people
here. I'm telling you. In the next few years
to come, you're going to see this prophecy is
a reality. Hallelujah. You will see them doing
exploits. You will see so many youths gathered
before them. I know what I'm saying and I know
what I've seen. You will see them so many in
multitudes. The words of their mouth as much
as carry power and authority. They are teaching.
And I hear people even ask questions. Where are
these ones from? We believe the things they are
saying. But where truly are they from? Because
the Lord is training them. The Lord is building
them. The Lord is equipping them. And the Lord
has prepared them for such a time as this. So
much of the supernatural back in the works of
their hands. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Holy
Ghost. Thank you, Holy Ghost. Someone here, you've
been desiring to see much more of the prophetic.
Right now, receive that. Receive that. Receive
that. Receive a seeing eye by the Spirit. And
receive a hearing ear by the Spirit. In the name
of Jesus, even as you're seated right now, your
desire regarding the prophetic, in the name of
Jesus, is strengthened much more. In the name
of Jesus, the Lord uses you for healing. In the
name of Jesus, In the name of Jesus, I pray for
you. In the name of Jesus, many are healed. Many
are healed through your hands. In the name of
Jesus. There is so much power of the Lord through
your hands to heal, to heal, to heal. That compassionate
heart, Jesus turns it. All the virtue for healing
is released in the name of Jesus. Thank you,
Lord. Thank you, Lord. We bless you, Jesus. Thank
you, Father. Thank you, Jesus. Glory to God.
Glory to God. Coming up to 1 Corinthians chapter
12. I have 18 minutes. So in these 18 minutes,
I still want to teach and I still want us to
do some things of the Spirit. Hallelujah. Is
that possible? All things are possible to Custon
since he believes. Amen. Praise God. I will introduce
what we will have and we will finish it on Wednesday.
Praise God. So I will encourage you to come on
Wednesday. Amen. Praise God. I will encourage
you to do what? Because there will be a mighty
expression of the things of the Spirit. Hallelujah.
Praise God. How did I know it? I saw it since
from yesterday. Hallelujah. Praise God. You know
this is not compared to what I've seen that will
happen this morning. And much more is happening.
Amen. Leaders, the people you gave word to, have
they confirmed that? By the Spirit of the Lord?
Glory to God. Hallelujah. 1 Corinthians chapter
12. Let's run. Amen. Is this the kind of church
this NECF, these Near East people have? Yes.
I kind of like that church. Yeah, yes. 1 Corinthians
chapter 12 verse 10. If you're writing, You are
correct. We are continuing actually with the
teaching from Catechismos. Amen. This morning
we are talking about the gifts of prophecy. The
gifts of what? Prophecy. Hallelujah. So this
is gifts of prophecy, not the prophetic ministry
or the prophetic office. Amen. We are going to
teach that in detail when we come to ministry
gifts. Hallelujah. Amen. Yeah, so please, as
many of you that have been desirous to see more
of the manifestation of the prophetic, right?
Please stay tuned. Praise God. So we're going
to talk about the gifts of what? Prophecy. Turn
to the right and to the left and tell the person,
do you know you can prophesy too? What's the
person's response? Please ask the person, what's
the person's response? Ask the person, do you
know you can prophesy too? Yeah. Hallelujah.
Hallelujah. Praise God. Let's chorus something
here like a Sunday school. Chorus this in the
way they do it. Can we chorus something? Can
we say in Jesus' name? Everybody, let's raise
our hands. We'll do it like... Everybody. Everybody.
Please, by the way, let me tell you, when I teach
and I see you don't participate, I'll pick you
out. Don't be offended at that. Amen? Yes, that's
how I do it. Can I say in Jesus' name, in Jesus'
name, I believe that I have the Spirit of God
in me and I believe I have all His gifts in me
and I believe I can prophesy. I prophesy always
and every day. Say prophecy in motion. Yes. Praise
God. Yes, that's our reality. Amen. Okay, so
let's read 1 Corinthians 12 .10 now. To another,
the walking of miracles. To another, prophecy.
To another, discerning of spirit. To another,
diverse kinds of tongues. Actually, if you're
reading King James Version, you're going to see
that diverse is italicized. Originally, it's
not supposed to be there. Amen. It's kinds of
tongues. Praise God. And then to another, the
interpretation of what? Of tongues. Praise God.
Hallelujah. Let's read it again. To another,
the walking of miracles. To another, prophecy.
To another, discerning of spirits. To another,
kinds of tongues. To another, the interpretation
of what? Of tongues. So during the Karatismos,
one of the things that we've learned is that
the Holy Spirit It's the gifts. Amen. The Holy
Spirit himself is what? It's the gifts. Praise
God. And in the gifts, we now have gifts. So
in the Holy Ghost, we now have what? His diversities.
Amen. If you're not going to be writing, use
your phone. Don't be looking at me. Amen. Yeah,
so we write in this church. if you have not come
here with writing materials, they say, brother,
he said I was going to pray with. He came here
with a book and passed. Ah, the brother beside
that sister. Yes, you, that brother. Yes. You
know, the way your hair, I'm checking, are you
actually looking at me or not? I'm going to pray
with you, right? Yes, I'm led to do that. Praise
God. So, in Karatismos, we learned that what?
The Holy Ghost is what? Is the gift. And in the
gift, we now have what? we now have gifts. And
those gifts, we call them diversities of the
spirit. Amen? It's almost like I have a carton
and then inside the carton, I put different gifts.
What do they call this during Christmas? Hamper.
Okay. So, they give you a hamper. Right? And
inside, I hope the thing will not harm you. So
inside the hamper, there are different things.
Amen? So when we carry the hamper and give you,
we are not giving you only the carton. We are
giving you with everything inside what? The hamper.
So you have the hamper, you already have everything
inside. Praise God. So that's why we're saying
that the man that has the Holy Ghost has everything
in the Holy Ghost. So you don't have some things.
You don't have one thing. You don't have two
things from the Holy Ghost. You have how many
things? All the things in the Holy Ghost. So
let me ask, when a hamper is given to you, is
it yours or is it for your neighbor? It's yours.
So when we see you, Not using everything inside.
Are we to question you or not? Yes, we should
question you. I always give an illustration.
Where is Theodora and her group? Yes, I always
give an illustration. Right? And I gave them
that illustration and they gave me a perfect
answer. For example, we calculated their tuition
fees. And it's run to about how many million?
Don't be shy. How many million? Eh? 82 million?
No, it's not 22 million. It's more than 22 million.
It's almost 100 and something million. Everything.
Aside accommodation, NERA, please, not dollars.
Right? Yes. That is the tuition fees they are
going to use for six years. 100 and something
million NERA. Oh, boy. Do you know that you ladies
are millionaires already? But you know, I gave
them my illustration. I said, take that money
now to ICAS. And then you walk there. You know,
with 100 and something millionaires in Nigeria,
you're going to have bodyguards. Security is
360. And then you just walk in there and everybody's
questioning, who is this guy or who is this young
lady? And then you go in there, you know, and
I ask them a question. What is the highest thing
you have bought in ICAS? The most expensive thing.
And you say, how many? 1 ,000 TL, right? 200
TL? Confesso. Okay, let's say it's 1 ,000 TL.
And then you run into this place and you then
drop 100 and something million and just say,
use the rest. I just take 1 ,000 TL team and
then you just walk out of the place. And they
are calling you, come back, come back. No, no,
no, no, no, no, no. You say, I leave it to you.
And I asked them, what do you think the people
in IKAS will say? Some of them say, they will
say you are stupid. Some of them say, they say
you are mad. Some of them say, they say you are
foolish. I said, do you know that at the end
of medical school, if you're not careful, that's
how you'll be termed? Because this institution
is like a business sector and you come with 100
and something million and the equivalent of what
you're supposed to take out of it is 4 .0 and
you decide to go with 0 .4. What should we call
you? You're stupid. When we say you're stupid
and foolish, we're not insulting you. We're just
saying that you don't have sense to utilize.
You're not wise. We're not insulting you. Having
said that, sorry, I'm not insulting us. Do you
know every time you don't utilize the gifts of
the Holy Ghost, you are not wise? Praise God.
You are not what? You are not wise. Every time
you limit yourself from laying hands on the sick,
you are not what? You are not being wise. Every
time you are supposed to give a prophetic word
and bring instruction, don't sleep on me. Tell
your friend, don't sleep on me. Yes, I don't
want to point my hand to that direction. But
don't sleep on me. If not, I will ask you to
stand up. Every time, because this message is
very important. And if you are sleeping here,
question the demons are oppressing you so that
you won't hear it. And you are not wise. Every
time you refuse to be led by the Spirit of God,
you are not what? You are not wise. Why? Because
we know that you have the gift of the Holy Ghost
residing where? In you. Praise God. Hallelujah.
Are we good? The word prophecy. Is translated
from the Greek word. Prophetia. The word prophecy.
Is translated from the Greek word. Prophetia.
P -R -O. P -H -E. T -E -I -A. Prophetia. P -R
-O -P. H -E -T -E -I -A. And that word is derived
from a root word, prophetio. Just the same thing,
just add a U -E -O. Prophetia, from the root
word, prophetio. Prophetio. I'm not a Greek,
so. P -R -O, the root word, P -R -O -P -H -E
-T -E -U -O. Prophecy is prophetia. Prophetio
is prophesy. Is that clear? Is that clear? So
the word prophecy is from the Greek word what?
Prophetia. And it's derived from the root word
prophetio. Right? Prophetia. Prophecy. Prophetio.
To do what? To prophesy. Hallelujah. So what
does it mean to prophesy? To speak forth? Under
an inspiration. Hallelujah. To speak forth. Under
what? An inspiration. To speak forth. So you
meet a man that is drunk. With 10 bottles of
red label. Or red horse. Or white label. Right?
The guy suddenly starts behaving like a white
horse. Or a red horse. At least I've been privileged.
Our house I've been privileged to be beside a.
Biapalo. Local Biapalo. You know? Yes. So everything
is coming crude. We call that BKT. Right? Yes.
So the people that know BKT, they understand
what I mean. You know? Pastor Fred will always
say, is it Pastor Fred or Pastor Victor? He say,
is it Ruan Firhauna or Ruan what? He say, the
water from Egypt. You know? So when these guys
take that brukutu, right? What happens is that,
at least we have had lots of sin. I can remember
it. You will see them, they are under stupor,
right? Is it not? Don't, don't, please. If in
your past life you have been, just say yes. I'm
not trying to expose anybody. I'm just giving
an illustration. So, you know, when they drink,
they are under what? Stupor, influence, right?
And today start saying, God bless you. God bless
you. What do they start saying? Eh? Stupid things.
You know, they will start hallucinating. Some
of them, suddenly they will even start singing.
They will sing, hallucinate. Some of them will
fall inside gutter. Some of them will urinate
on their body. At least we've known the ones
that will sleep in the beer pallet till morning.
They will start speaking from the inspiration
of the bottle. The formula for that fermentation
will enter their head. let me say it this way,
their brain will be fermented and they will start
speaking rubbish. You see, in prophecy, you speak
forth by what? Inspiration. But do you know for
the believer, we know our inspiration. Hallelujah.
That our inspiration is from who? The Holy Ghost.
They do not be drunk with wine, wear it in excess,
but be filled by what? By the Spirit or with
the Spirit. Sorry. So I am filled with the Spirit.
The Spirit becomes my source of what? Inspiration.
Every instruction, every direction, everything
that will proceed forth will be controlled by
what? By the Holy Ghost. The leaders that minister
to every group here, they spoke under the inspiration
of who? The Spirit of God. Are we all here? So
it means to speak forth by the Spirit. To speak
forth by the inspiration of the Spirit. And if
you are writing, write it this way. And usually
is on the spur of the moment. Usually is what?
Is on the spur of what? Of the moment. Like right
now. Shimdi, shimdi, shimdi. Is happening now.
So you see now, what we are saying is that prophecy,
let me put it this way. Prophecy, right, is speaking
forth from the inspiration of the Holy Ghost
on the moment. Praise God. We are speaking when?
Now, on the moment. Are we all here? Are we all
here? So Acts chapter 2 now. Let's go to Acts
chapter 2. Have we all gotten the definition
of prophecy? Have we gotten the definition of
prophecy? Good, perfect now. So let's move on.
Acts chapter 2, everybody. Let's start building
now. Let's start building. Acts chapter 2. Acts
chapter 2 from verse 16. Let's start reading
from verse 14 so that we can have a context to
it. Acts chapter 2 from verse 14. Be this known
unto you and hearken to my words. For these are
not drunken as ye suppose, seeing it is what?
But the third hour of the day, 16. But this is
that which was spoken. Hallelujah. Which was
what? By who? So Prophet Joel spoke under the
inspiration of what? He spoke under the inspiration
of? The Spirit of God. What did he say? 17. And
it shall come to pass in the last days, said
who? God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all
flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall
prophesy, and your young men shall see visions,
and your old men shall dream what? Shall dream
dreams. So where is Peter quoting this from?
Amen? Because we understand, as a way of training
and teaching in this church, right, that Matthew,
Mark, Luke, John, and all the epistles, right,
all of them were written from where? Huh? From
the scriptures, right? And when we say the scriptures,
we mean what? Okay, Old Testament. Okay, keep
saying anything old. What is Old Testament? Genesis
2. Malachi. So if Peter is going to talk at this
point, because let's take ourselves and stand
where Peter was standing. At this point, there
is nothing called book of Acts, right? Because
this was written, right, in the life of Peter.
Praise God. So Peter will not quote from any
book. Peter will go and quote from where? From
Genesis to where? To Malachi. So from Genesis
to Malachi, the event that is happening in the
room. Where Peter saw its fulfillment is nowhere
from Joel. Praise God. Because he said, Prophet
Joel prophesied about this event that is happening.
That there is going to be a time that the Spirit
of God will be put and it will be upon everyone.
Hallelujah. Praise God. So now let's go to that
Joel. Joel 2, 28. Let's read Joel 2 .28. And
on Wednesday, we're going to build solidly on
this as a way of introduction. Joel 2 .28. And
it shall what? Come to pass afterwards that I
will do what? That I will do what? Pour my spirit
on what? On all flesh. But you see, what he said
in Acts, he said, and the Lord said. But you
see, Joel here is saying, I will pour out of
my spirit and all flesh, your sons and your works.
So you see, and it shall come to pass. This wasn't
Joel that is speaking. Praise God. This is God
speaking through who? And that is why you will
see the statement as though Joel is the one that
is what? Speaking. I will pour out of my what?
Spirit. But Peter said that, and God what? He
will do it. But when Joel was speaking this as
a word of prophecy, because now we're going to
build on it on Wednesday, right? The Spirit came
upon Joel and he is speaking as it were God is
what? He's speaking. Praise God. He said, your
daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall
dream dreams, your young men shall see what?
Shall see visions. Hallelujah. Say I speak under
the inspiration. Of the Holy Ghost. And I prophesy.
Under the inspiration. Of the Holy Ghost. I see.
By the Spirit. I hear. By the Spirit. I perceive.
By the Spirit. In the name of Jesus. Can we just
