Each message here is 00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:09.660 designed to uplift and strengthen you in your 00:00:09.660 --> 00:00:13.939 walk with God. Don't miss out. Stay with us until 00:00:13.939 --> 00:00:17.879 the end for a rewarding experience. Let's dive 00:00:17.879 --> 00:00:22.839 right in. You know you can still be praying in 00:00:22.839 --> 00:00:26.820 tongues and still listen to me, amen? Praise 00:00:26.820 --> 00:00:31.420 God. You can still be praying and what? And still 00:00:31.420 --> 00:00:36.420 listen. So Lord, as I'm here, privileged to be 00:00:36.420 --> 00:00:41.340 here. As I'm speaking and also what? Listening 00:00:41.340 --> 00:00:45.740 within. Hallelujah. Praise God. So in the week 00:00:45.740 --> 00:00:48.100 I had someone say something, just a few days 00:00:48.100 --> 00:00:51.399 ago. He was teaching about the gifts of the Holy 00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:57.299 Ghost. The gifts of prophecy. You know, and he 00:00:57.299 --> 00:01:00.020 said something. which is not in the scriptures, 00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:02.320 however. He said that the gifts of the Spirit 00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:07.680 are in ranking. And he said he's going to show 00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:12.359 them how it is ranked. But he said something. 00:01:12.980 --> 00:01:15.939 He said, you know, him, he's privileged to have 00:01:15.939 --> 00:01:24.060 all the nine. Ha! And he said he will show them 00:01:24.060 --> 00:01:28.269 how to just start operating in few. Because he's 00:01:28.269 --> 00:01:31.349 in rank. So there are, you know our people, there 00:01:31.349 --> 00:01:34.930 are dimensions you must reach to now see the 00:01:34.930 --> 00:01:39.150 nine. But for him, he's privileged to have the 00:01:39.150 --> 00:01:43.689 nine. Do you know the implication of that? He 00:01:43.689 --> 00:01:49.230 is Lord of the Rings. Yeah, so everybody has 00:01:49.230 --> 00:01:52.569 to look up to him. He's the general. Yes, that's 00:01:52.569 --> 00:02:02.159 the right word. Hallelujah. Say, I have all the 00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:05.340 gifts of the Holy Ghost. I have all the gifts 00:02:05.340 --> 00:02:07.719 of the Holy Spirit. You know, when you say, I 00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:10.560 have resources, what you are saying is that all 00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:13.199 that is in Christ Jesus, the Holy Ghost has deployed 00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:17.099 it to you. Hallelujah. The Holy Spirit didn't 00:02:17.099 --> 00:02:20.460 forget one in heaven. He didn't forget one somewhere. 00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:24.639 He has deployed what? All the resources. To who? 00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:30.530 To you. Praise God. So when you get to somewhere 00:02:30.530 --> 00:02:33.009 and then somebody tells you, you see, you, and 00:02:33.009 --> 00:02:35.550 then he says something. He said, you know, the 00:02:35.550 --> 00:02:38.370 one that every one of you have here is tongues. 00:02:39.229 --> 00:02:43.050 That one is free for you. It's free. But you 00:02:43.050 --> 00:02:48.069 see every other one? He said, it's the Holy Spirit. 00:02:48.169 --> 00:02:51.689 The gifts are with the Holy Spirit. So he is 00:02:51.689 --> 00:02:54.830 the one that when he didn't fit to see it at 00:02:54.830 --> 00:02:57.669 operation, then he threw it. He releases it. 00:02:59.839 --> 00:03:03.560 It's somebody that I know, I respect. Amen? So 00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:07.479 I said, okay, so if the Holy Spirit has it, and 00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:11.099 then now we need one, and he has made up his 00:03:11.099 --> 00:03:14.759 mind not to give the one, come on, we'll be in 00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:22.000 trouble. Hallelujah. See, I have all the gifts 00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:25.379 of the Holy Spirit because God's word says so. 00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:29.560 And that is my reality. Hallelujah. Choose to 00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:32.599 believe God's word above every man's word. Amen. 00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:37.939 That is why I would encourage us to stay. Stay 00:03:37.939 --> 00:03:40.620 and be taught and be trained. Praise God. Stay. 00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:44.840 Be patient. Be patient. Be patient. Be patient 00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:47.919 to be taught and what? And trained in the word 00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:53.340 of faith. That is our security. That is our security 00:03:53.340 --> 00:03:57.250 against every kind of wind of doctrine. that 00:03:57.250 --> 00:04:01.810 is flying to and fro everywhere. That is our 00:04:01.810 --> 00:04:06.090 security. That is how we measure up unto maturity 00:04:06.090 --> 00:04:09.849 to the fullness of Christ. That is why we hear 00:04:09.849 --> 00:04:13.169 wind of doctrine, right? We are not traced to 00:04:13.169 --> 00:04:19.209 and fro by it. So if I stand here and tell you 00:04:19.209 --> 00:04:21.550 that every one of you just have only tongues 00:04:21.550 --> 00:04:24.839 and I am the one that have the nine. Do you know 00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:26.579 the implication of that? After this service, 00:04:26.779 --> 00:04:29.860 there will be a line of people waiting for word 00:04:29.860 --> 00:04:32.720 of wisdom, waiting for word of knowledge, waiting 00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:37.579 for the prophetic. Praise God. That's the implication. 00:04:38.939 --> 00:04:42.220 So question, what will I do as a believer, oh 00:04:42.220 --> 00:04:47.519 Lord, to have this line? What will I do? Maybe 00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:50.720 they will say 16 hours. I do 16 hours and I don't 00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:53.759 see it. One video will say 100 days of tithing 00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:58.000 and I will do 100 days and I don't see it. Do 00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:00.019 you know what it starts becoming? I become a 00:05:00.019 --> 00:05:04.519 frustrated believer that has a desire that cannot 00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:10.819 be met. Hallelujah. But is that what Paul taught 00:05:10.819 --> 00:05:15.060 the church in Corinthians? No. Praise God. That 00:05:15.060 --> 00:05:18.740 all is at work in them. Hallelujah. And you know 00:05:18.740 --> 00:05:22.199 that all is at work in us this evening? In RECF, 00:05:22.300 --> 00:05:24.399 local church, we have all the gifts of the Holy 00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:27.839 Ghost. Praise God. And we have all of them in 00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:31.779 demonstration. Praise God. We see them. In fact, 00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:35.180 he went out to say, he said, why you are seeing 00:05:35.180 --> 00:05:39.220 some common and why some are not common is because 00:05:39.220 --> 00:05:42.699 those ones are rare. Lord, gifts of the Holy 00:05:42.699 --> 00:05:46.939 Ghost is rare. We have them in abundance. Hallelujah. 00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:51.399 None of them is rare. None of them. No word of 00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:53.860 knowledge is rare. No word of wisdom is rare. 00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:57.079 No working of miracles is rare. No gift of faith 00:05:57.079 --> 00:06:00.560 is rare. None of them is rare. All of them are 00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:33.079 in abundant supply. You know? The guy that was, 00:06:33.180 --> 00:06:37.420 the legs are gone, balls are finished. This young 00:06:37.420 --> 00:06:45.480 guy walked. This man, they do miracles without 00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:47.899 thinking. I always use this word. They do miracles 00:06:47.899 --> 00:06:53.810 without what? They don't analyze it. The power 00:06:53.810 --> 00:06:57.750 flows through my hands. The power of the Holy 00:06:57.750 --> 00:07:01.569 Ghost flows through my lips. When I speak words, 00:07:01.589 --> 00:07:05.110 I build things. When I speak words, I edify. 00:07:05.790 --> 00:07:08.509 When I lay hands on things, I see things change. 00:07:09.089 --> 00:07:13.009 Oh, I see the blind, the blind eyes open. Because 00:07:13.009 --> 00:07:14.850 the power of the Holy Ghost flows through my 00:07:14.850 --> 00:07:19.410 hands. Oh, I see deaf ears open. I see someone 00:07:19.410 --> 00:07:23.550 here that has been having difficulty sleeping 00:07:23.550 --> 00:07:25.470 through the night as a result of this meeting. 00:07:25.889 --> 00:07:29.629 You're going to sleep every night without that 00:07:29.629 --> 00:07:32.970 condition again in Jesus' name. Someone here 00:07:32.970 --> 00:07:36.389 also that you've had a communication with your 00:07:36.389 --> 00:07:38.910 mom regarding high blood pressure. From this 00:07:38.910 --> 00:07:41.529 meeting tonight, that high blood pressure is 00:07:41.529 --> 00:07:45.449 normal and is born in the name of Jesus. Someone 00:07:45.449 --> 00:07:48.060 here, you have been reading the scriptures. and 00:07:48.060 --> 00:07:49.899 you have been finding it difficult to understand. 00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:52.620 And I tell you this by the Spirit of the Lord, 00:07:52.759 --> 00:07:55.019 that the eyes of your understanding are open 00:07:55.019 --> 00:07:58.199 as a result of this meeting. Spirit of Revelation 00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:03.259 is rocking in your heart right now from this 00:08:03.259 --> 00:08:07.079 meeting in the name of Jesus. Hallelujah. Praise 00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:10.939 God. Hallelujah. Let's quickly do what we have 00:08:10.939 --> 00:08:14.560 to do. We will take 30 minutes to 35 minutes 00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:17.160 and then finish on the gifts of prophecy. And 00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:19.800 we'll do something. Hallelujah. So, so far so 00:08:19.800 --> 00:08:23.139 good from Pastor Emmanuel, myself. We've been 00:08:23.139 --> 00:08:26.939 able to talk about a long, different series on 00:08:26.939 --> 00:08:29.339 the gifts of the Holy Ghost. And we want to practice 00:08:29.339 --> 00:08:32.700 all of them tonight. Hallelujah. Amen. We want 00:08:32.700 --> 00:08:36.340 to practice what? All of them when? Tonight. 00:08:36.460 --> 00:08:41.700 Hallelujah. Praise God. Amen. Yes, so, as we 00:08:41.700 --> 00:08:44.799 are practicing them, the pastors, as they are 00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:47.190 led in their heart, or they perceive in their 00:08:47.190 --> 00:08:50.350 heart, they will move around and then imparting 00:08:50.350 --> 00:08:54.350 people. Hallelujah. Praise God. Amen. Yeah, so 00:08:54.350 --> 00:08:56.889 we're going to group ourselves. A couple of people 00:08:56.889 --> 00:08:58.750 will be assigned to different groups to minister. 00:08:59.190 --> 00:09:01.929 Amen. And then as we are doing that, the pastors 00:09:01.929 --> 00:09:04.509 move around. As they perceive in their heart, 00:09:04.730 --> 00:09:06.909 they are going to lay hands on people. Praise 00:09:06.909 --> 00:09:11.049 God. Amen. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. 00:09:11.610 --> 00:09:16.519 Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Glory to God. I believe 00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:19.919 in miracles. I believe in miracles. I believe 00:09:19.919 --> 00:09:23.220 in miracles. I see miracles. They happen through 00:09:23.220 --> 00:09:26.259 my hands. They happen at my words, by the Spirit 00:09:26.259 --> 00:09:29.620 of the Lord, in the name of Jesus. Praise God. 00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:34.200 Hallelujah. One Sunday I came to church. Somewhere 00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:36.000 around here I was feeling, I don't know what 00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:39.879 was holding me. I could not stand. I didn't know 00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:45.509 what was it. Pastor, if I... drove me to Gilney. 00:09:45.549 --> 00:09:49.450 We went to a hospital. The guy took whatever, 00:09:49.649 --> 00:09:51.149 whether he checked me or did not check me, I 00:09:51.149 --> 00:09:53.789 don't know. But he tied some drugs, put some 00:09:53.789 --> 00:09:56.029 things, gave me some prescriptions. I came home, 00:09:56.250 --> 00:09:59.950 kept laying hands there. I'm healed, I'm healed, 00:10:00.009 --> 00:10:01.789 I'm healed, I'm healed. Just within a week, I 00:10:01.789 --> 00:10:03.629 remembered we had a pastor's meeting that same 00:10:03.629 --> 00:10:07.470 week. You know, I also asked the pastors, I said, 00:10:07.490 --> 00:10:09.029 please, that Saturday, I told them, I said, please, 00:10:09.049 --> 00:10:11.870 can we just lay hands on my stomach and then 00:10:11.870 --> 00:10:15.740 let's pray? I know they prayed, I slept, I woke 00:10:15.740 --> 00:10:19.600 up, the pain gone. Sunday morning I came, I was 00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:22.360 jumping everywhere, nothing. Monday morning I 00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:25.120 waited to see whether he's there, nothing. Tuesday 00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:30.440 I woke up, you know, nothing. I was like, hope 00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:32.559 it's not my kidney. But kidney is at the back. 00:10:32.940 --> 00:10:40.539 You know, I went on Goku. Demons are real. They're 00:10:40.539 --> 00:10:45.559 on Goku. Don't allow any demon send you to God 00:10:45.559 --> 00:10:50.139 to check what is disturbing you. Do you know 00:10:50.139 --> 00:10:52.460 the result you see? That you have died last two 00:10:52.460 --> 00:11:01.679 weeks. Yes, that's what you will see. With the 00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:03.919 advent of Chadji Pitina, he will tell you anything 00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:08.179 he wants to say. One day. One day? He said you 00:11:08.179 --> 00:11:15.379 died last two weeks. So if you have been, maybe 00:11:15.379 --> 00:11:17.960 it's kidney of so -and -so, maybe it's this, 00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:20.440 this, maybe it's a liver, this, maybe it's a, 00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:28.360 but liver where? Kidney where? I said on Sunday, 00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:30.220 all you need to see is one miracle. Hallelujah. 00:11:30.820 --> 00:11:34.419 You don't need 10. If you can see one, it means 00:11:34.419 --> 00:11:36.919 that you can see 10. If you can see 10, it means 00:11:36.919 --> 00:11:40.139 you can see 1 ,000. Hallelujah. The same power 00:11:40.139 --> 00:11:41.840 you need for headache is the same power that 00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:44.120 you need for cancer. The same power you need 00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:45.960 for cancer is the same that will open the blind 00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:48.639 eyes. It's same spirit. We don't have spirit 00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:51.139 that casts out headache. We don't have spirit 00:11:51.139 --> 00:11:54.080 that heals cancer. We don't have another spirit 00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:57.720 that drives out demons. The Holy Ghost is Holy 00:11:57.720 --> 00:12:02.100 Ghost. He is the Spirit of God and He walks sane. 00:12:03.299 --> 00:12:08.159 Praise God. I choose to see the miraculous every 00:12:08.159 --> 00:12:11.200 day in my life. Both in the things that pertain 00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:13.340 to the spiritual and both in the things that 00:12:13.340 --> 00:12:16.799 pertain to the natural. Praise God. So we ended 00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:20.240 1 Corinthians chapter 14 on Sunday. Verse 3. 00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:27.399 Verse 3. Edification, exaltation and what? And 00:12:27.399 --> 00:12:34.279 comfort. Praise God. Hallelujah. And we read 00:12:34.279 --> 00:12:38.740 1 Corinthians 14 verse 6. And we said, now brethren, 00:12:38.860 --> 00:12:40.779 if I come to you speaking with tongues, what 00:12:40.779 --> 00:12:42.840 shall I profit you except I shall speak to you 00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:46.759 either by revelation or by knowledge or by prophesying 00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:50.779 or by what? Or by doctrine. Hallelujah. Praise 00:12:50.779 --> 00:12:53.679 God. And that word revelation in 1 Corinthians 00:12:53.679 --> 00:12:58.580 14, 6 is apocalypses. A -P -O -K -A -L -Y -P 00:12:58.580 --> 00:13:06.240 -S -I -S. A -P -O -K -A -L -Y -P -S -I -S. Apocalypses. 00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:11.759 Which implies to means full disclosure. Full 00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:16.980 disclosure. To uncover. To lay open what has 00:13:16.980 --> 00:13:21.519 been veiled. Hallelujah. Revelation. Full what? 00:13:21.960 --> 00:13:27.539 Disclosure. Amen. To uncover. To unveil what 00:13:27.539 --> 00:13:31.360 has been veiled. Praise God. So when we say revelation, 00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:33.320 we're not saying that something is not there 00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:36.220 and suddenly something happens. Praise God. Already 00:13:36.220 --> 00:13:39.080 something is there and then we now see an unveiling 00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:42.500 of the thing. Praise God. Hallelujah. So, and 00:13:42.500 --> 00:13:45.539 when there is a full disclosure, it means that 00:13:45.539 --> 00:13:47.679 the mind should be able to understand what is 00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:51.539 seen. Praise God. Hallelujah. So Paul is saying 00:13:51.539 --> 00:13:54.840 that when prophecy comes, prophecy brings full 00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:58.539 disclosure. Prophecy unveils. Your understanding 00:13:58.539 --> 00:14:02.159 will be able to be fruitful from it. So you will 00:14:02.159 --> 00:14:05.710 benefit from it. Hallelujah. Prophecy does not 00:14:05.710 --> 00:14:09.629 come to confuse you more. Prophecy comes to unveil. 00:14:09.649 --> 00:14:12.090 I said it on Sunday, to unveil what? The will 00:14:12.090 --> 00:14:15.110 of God, the plans of God, the purposes of God. 00:14:15.210 --> 00:14:18.049 So that we can have direction. Amen? So that 00:14:18.049 --> 00:14:20.950 we can have guidance. Praise God. Hallelujah. 00:14:21.490 --> 00:14:23.389 Praise God. So that we can have what again? There's 00:14:23.389 --> 00:14:28.789 another word there. Guidance, direction, encouragement, 00:14:29.090 --> 00:14:34.419 and then help. Hallelujah. Praise God. Hallelujah. 00:14:35.460 --> 00:14:39.139 That's what revelation is. And then he said knowledge. 00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:42.259 What is knowledge? Translated from the word mercies. 00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:49.679 G -N -O -S -I -S. Which implies insights. Gnosis. 00:14:49.879 --> 00:14:55.379 G -N -O -S -I -S. Gnosis, actually. Which implies 00:14:55.379 --> 00:15:00.659 insights. Insight into what? Insight or experiential 00:15:00.659 --> 00:15:06.289 knowledge. Expiration knowledge. From where? 00:15:06.350 --> 00:15:09.370 From God's words. And when that kind of knowledge 00:15:09.370 --> 00:15:12.710 comes to you, it does not come in tongues. It 00:15:12.710 --> 00:15:15.730 comes in plain words that your mind can understand. 00:15:16.029 --> 00:15:19.690 Hallelujah. Praise God. Hallelujah. I said if 00:15:19.690 --> 00:15:21.870 I come to you by prophecy, which we are doing 00:15:21.870 --> 00:15:27.090 now. Amen. Or by doctrine. Doctrine means, it 00:15:27.090 --> 00:15:32.639 implies an instruction. Amen. I often will say 00:15:32.639 --> 00:15:34.940 if I come here and I just instruct you by tongues. 00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:43.340 And then you go, yes, sir, I know what to do. 00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:49.299 You don't know what to do. But as if I come and 00:15:49.299 --> 00:15:51.799 I give you instruction. I said, this hall, actually, 00:15:51.879 --> 00:15:54.120 we need to repaint it. We need to fix the windows. 00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:56.440 We need to fix the doors. Actually, there have 00:15:56.440 --> 00:15:58.779 been sound going out. We need to put some soundproofs 00:15:58.779 --> 00:16:02.129 and ETC. Your mind and your understanding now 00:16:02.129 --> 00:16:05.389 can understand, can take it. Amen. And you are 00:16:05.389 --> 00:16:07.409 fruitful. Your mind is fruitful from it. Praise 00:16:07.409 --> 00:16:10.210 God. Hallelujah. And may you live this blessed. 00:16:11.009 --> 00:16:14.570 So what Paul is saying in 1 Corinthians 46 is 00:16:14.570 --> 00:16:17.409 that if I come to you speaking with tongues only, 00:16:17.470 --> 00:16:22.250 how can I profit you, brother? Except I come 00:16:22.250 --> 00:16:26.289 to you by what? By revelation. Amen. Or by what? 00:16:26.649 --> 00:16:29.409 Knowledge. Or by what? Prophesying or by what? 00:16:29.549 --> 00:16:32.389 Or by teaching. Because if I come to you like 00:16:32.389 --> 00:16:34.970 this now, your understanding will be blessed. 00:16:35.129 --> 00:16:40.149 Hallelujah. Praise God. Hallelujah. Yeah, so 00:16:40.149 --> 00:16:42.490 what is the purpose of prophecy? The gift of 00:16:42.490 --> 00:16:45.190 prophecy? The purpose is what? For edification. 00:16:45.450 --> 00:16:49.389 Hallelujah. So building. So building. So building. 00:16:49.610 --> 00:16:53.529 So building. Lying in the wall is the ability 00:16:53.529 --> 00:16:58.659 to build. Lying in is ability to what? To build, 00:16:58.700 --> 00:17:02.500 build people by the Spirit of the Lord. Build 00:17:02.500 --> 00:17:05.359 people by the Spirit of the Lord. Build what? 00:17:05.539 --> 00:17:08.099 People. One of the words I got in the place of 00:17:08.099 --> 00:17:12.960 prayer is that you have received so much information 00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:16.299 on the other side, on the negative, and you have 00:17:16.299 --> 00:17:19.539 used it and it has become your reality. Let me 00:17:19.539 --> 00:17:22.440 use this word, your virtual reality. Because 00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:25.859 your reality is in Christ Jesus. Amen? It's not 00:17:25.859 --> 00:17:28.220 time for you to redefine what you're seeing about 00:17:28.220 --> 00:17:31.640 your life. Redefine it how? By speaking. Speak 00:17:31.640 --> 00:17:34.799 it how? By God's words. Take God's words and 00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:38.259 then make them, speak them, prophesy them, pray 00:17:38.259 --> 00:17:46.500 upon them. Declare them over your life. Ah, we 00:17:46.500 --> 00:17:48.940 have prayed this prayer. I can give you my younger 00:17:48.940 --> 00:17:51.039 brother's number. You can call him. We have prayed 00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:53.559 this. We will never be like the people from my 00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:57.509 village. We have prayed it. We will do work of 00:17:57.509 --> 00:18:00.650 ministry. We will do this. We will do that. Every 00:18:00.650 --> 00:18:04.430 night, we will fast and pray. We will go. One 00:18:04.430 --> 00:18:06.930 of the things that drove us to go and do those 00:18:06.930 --> 00:18:08.349 things is because of where we are coming from. 00:18:09.009 --> 00:18:12.710 It wasn't knowledge, however. What drove us? 00:18:12.769 --> 00:18:15.009 For example, what drove us is that since they 00:18:15.009 --> 00:18:17.430 built our house, the house, 10 years, no paint, 00:18:17.569 --> 00:18:19.569 no nothing, and there's this big crack. You can 00:18:19.569 --> 00:18:22.230 see our neighbor's house. Lizard always coming. 00:18:22.750 --> 00:18:24.990 So we said, no, if words cannot change it, we 00:18:24.990 --> 00:18:27.490 know prayers can change it. We put it as a first 00:18:27.490 --> 00:18:31.089 item. This house must be fixed. We started fasting. 00:18:31.230 --> 00:18:33.150 We started praying every day. We started fasting. 00:18:33.309 --> 00:18:36.130 Two weeks, our mom called us. She said, your 00:18:36.130 --> 00:18:38.690 dad just came back and said, I think it's enough 00:18:38.690 --> 00:18:41.369 now. This house needs to be painted and it needs 00:18:41.369 --> 00:18:43.849 to be this thing. Ha! She said, this one that 00:18:43.849 --> 00:18:45.769 we are seeing, it has happened. It means all 00:18:45.769 --> 00:18:47.769 other ones will work. We intensified prayers. 00:18:49.130 --> 00:18:52.140 We called Sam. We call other sabo. We call other 00:18:52.140 --> 00:18:53.579 people. We say, see, we are praying every night. 00:18:53.940 --> 00:18:57.180 And these things are working. I'm telling you, 00:18:57.200 --> 00:18:59.440 we kept praying every night. I will tell you 00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:01.220 this by the Spirit of the Lord. I know it because 00:19:01.220 --> 00:19:03.400 we are still experiencing. All the things we 00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:08.900 have prayed for, all of them happened. Even though 00:19:08.900 --> 00:19:10.220 when they painted the houses, I don't know the 00:19:10.220 --> 00:19:12.039 people that painted it. The color that was supposed 00:19:12.039 --> 00:19:13.920 to be outside was inside. The ones inside, they 00:19:13.920 --> 00:19:17.259 took it outside. I say they painted it. However, 00:19:17.559 --> 00:19:21.410 the pillars are fixed. Everywhere is good. Who 00:19:21.410 --> 00:19:25.190 carries that color? Brown color, maru, I've put 00:19:25.190 --> 00:19:29.730 inside the room. Now I say, okay, it's okay, 00:19:29.829 --> 00:19:31.849 no problem. Carry yellow color and paint outside. 00:19:37.170 --> 00:19:40.690 At least now I can say, come and visit. I don't 00:19:40.690 --> 00:19:45.150 bring people to my house. But for whatever reason, 00:19:45.250 --> 00:19:47.730 our parents are okay with it. You know those 00:19:47.730 --> 00:19:49.210 times my dad would say he's waiting for the crack 00:19:49.210 --> 00:19:51.950 to reach to his end. No, cracks don't reach ends. 00:19:52.269 --> 00:19:59.869 They just end the building. Yes. We kept praying 00:19:59.869 --> 00:20:02.529 that, Lord, we know that our parents cannot afford 00:20:02.529 --> 00:20:04.930 even natural things. You are sending us to places 00:20:04.930 --> 00:20:07.329 on scholarships. You are sending us to everywhere 00:20:07.329 --> 00:20:09.609 around the world. Scholarships everywhere, around 00:20:09.609 --> 00:20:10.990 the world, around the world, around the world. 00:20:11.089 --> 00:20:13.369 See, I'm telling you, they're all here. They 00:20:13.369 --> 00:20:20.559 know it. People kept thinking maybe our father 00:20:20.559 --> 00:20:23.140 knows anybody. Our father don't even know anybody. 00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:27.240 He only knows us. That God is pushing us far. 00:20:27.400 --> 00:20:33.079 No way. You can change the story. You can change 00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:37.019 the narrative. You can change everything you 00:20:37.019 --> 00:20:40.279 see. Not with another man's words. With his words. 00:20:40.619 --> 00:20:44.579 With your words. You are anointed. You have the 00:20:44.579 --> 00:20:47.609 spirit of God. Forget about the people you see 00:20:47.609 --> 00:20:51.349 from Kenya. Who is from Kenya here? Yes, forget 00:20:51.349 --> 00:20:53.009 about all those things you see from Kenya. I 00:20:53.009 --> 00:20:55.049 don't know why I'm calling Kenya. Forget about 00:20:55.049 --> 00:20:58.549 them. You can do much more for Jesus beyond what 00:20:58.549 --> 00:21:06.289 you see young people do there. Forget about it. 00:21:07.690 --> 00:21:09.769 Just take hold of these realities that we are 00:21:09.769 --> 00:21:12.430 teaching and discussing here, all of us, and 00:21:12.430 --> 00:21:28.190 give us some time. Some of them are already speaking 00:21:28.190 --> 00:21:30.450 now about your life. Some of them will speak 00:21:30.450 --> 00:21:32.410 tomorrow. Some of them are going to see it in 00:21:32.410 --> 00:21:33.950 the next one year. Some of them are going to 00:21:33.950 --> 00:21:36.730 see it in the next 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 00:21:36.730 --> 00:21:39.789 years to come. But truly we will say, when we 00:21:39.789 --> 00:21:42.269 all gather together in this room, the Spirit 00:21:42.269 --> 00:21:45.299 of the Lord... actually was working in our hearts 00:21:45.299 --> 00:21:49.099 all. Praise God. So, the gifts of prophecy come 00:21:49.099 --> 00:21:56.480 to edify. For building. For edification. For 00:21:56.480 --> 00:21:59.779 comfort. For what? For exaltation. Praise God. 00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:04.660 Hallelujah. So, then expressing the gifts of 00:22:04.660 --> 00:22:13.319 prophecy. Expressing the gifts of prophecy. Don't 00:22:13.319 --> 00:22:16.359 allow negative people come close to you. Don't 00:22:16.359 --> 00:22:18.799 allow negative words, negative statements come 00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:23.380 close to you. Always stay, stay, stay, stay, 00:22:23.460 --> 00:22:26.480 stay. Declaring God's word as your reality. Praise 00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:29.259 God. Expressing the gifts of the Holy Ghost. 00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:33.559 So firstly, the gifts of the Holy, which we have 00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:36.220 said, the gifts of, okay, firstly, please write 00:22:36.220 --> 00:22:38.579 this. When gifts of prophecy are in manifestation, 00:22:38.980 --> 00:22:42.549 there is a sense in which That God is speaking, 00:22:42.769 --> 00:22:46.349 right? When the gifts of prophecy are in manifestation, 00:22:47.269 --> 00:22:49.430 when the gifts of prophecy are in manifestation, 00:22:49.549 --> 00:22:53.329 there is a sense in which God is what? Is speaking. 00:22:54.710 --> 00:22:59.329 But if God actually is speaking, then we will 00:22:59.329 --> 00:23:02.849 not have rights to judge those words. Praise 00:23:02.849 --> 00:23:06.009 God. When gifts of prophecy are in manifestation, 00:23:06.410 --> 00:23:10.130 there is a sense in which God is what? Is speaking. 00:23:10.599 --> 00:23:13.859 But if actually God is the one speaking directly 00:23:13.859 --> 00:23:17.059 to us, then we don't have the right to judge 00:23:17.059 --> 00:23:25.519 those speakings. Amen? Because it will be literally 00:23:25.519 --> 00:23:31.539 His voice speaking through the clouds or some 00:23:31.539 --> 00:23:35.819 form of medium. Amen? And if that happens, which 00:23:35.819 --> 00:23:37.539 means we can't what? We don't have the right 00:23:37.539 --> 00:23:42.430 to do what? To judge it. Don't forget that the 00:23:42.430 --> 00:23:45.569 subtopic is expressing the what? The gifts of 00:23:45.569 --> 00:23:51.950 the Spirit. Amen? And we cannot judge or question 00:23:51.950 --> 00:23:53.609 it because God is speaking through the clouds. 00:23:53.750 --> 00:23:55.789 He's speaking through some form of medium. Amen? 00:23:56.049 --> 00:23:59.349 So it's God that is speaking. We can't what? 00:23:59.650 --> 00:24:04.210 We can't judge it. Secondly, if God actually 00:24:04.210 --> 00:24:07.470 were speaking, we will not need any instructions 00:24:07.470 --> 00:24:11.519 for the use of the gifts. In 1 Corinthians now. 00:24:12.460 --> 00:24:17.059 Amen? If God is actually and literally speaking 00:24:17.059 --> 00:24:19.839 to us, then we will not need any instruction 00:24:19.839 --> 00:24:22.599 for the use of what? For the use of the gifts 00:24:22.599 --> 00:24:24.519 because God will always come down and speak. 00:24:25.559 --> 00:24:28.019 I will not need Pastor Victor to speak. I will 00:24:28.019 --> 00:24:30.160 not need Pastor Fred to speak. I will not need 00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:32.339 you to speak to me. You understand, right? Because 00:24:32.339 --> 00:24:34.559 God is speaking. So God is speaking. Why need 00:24:34.559 --> 00:24:36.460 anybody and why need any gifts of spirit again? 00:24:36.940 --> 00:24:45.640 I don't need gifts of spirit. So he went to speak 00:24:45.640 --> 00:24:48.599 and went not to speak because God does not need 00:24:48.599 --> 00:24:52.619 any instruction. Amen? So if he is the one speaking, 00:24:52.779 --> 00:24:55.599 he will not need any what? Instruction. Went 00:24:55.599 --> 00:25:00.079 to silence him and went not to silence him. Praise 00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:07.660 God. Thirdly, the gifts of God are perfect. All 00:25:07.660 --> 00:25:10.299 the gifts of the Spirit are what? Are perfect. 00:25:10.359 --> 00:25:16.250 The Holy Spirit is perfect. But these gifts are 00:25:16.250 --> 00:25:20.109 not or are often not perfect in their manifestation. 00:25:23.130 --> 00:25:25.950 The gifts of God are perfect. The Holy Spirit 00:25:25.950 --> 00:25:29.289 is perfect. But these gifts are often not what? 00:25:29.549 --> 00:25:33.029 Perfect in their manifestation. Why? Because 00:25:33.029 --> 00:25:36.269 they are manifested through imperfect channels, 00:25:36.650 --> 00:25:42.849 men and women. Praise God. These gifts are manifested 00:25:42.849 --> 00:25:45.460 through what? imperfect channels. Through what? 00:25:45.579 --> 00:25:48.380 Men and women. We're going to talk about them. 00:25:52.900 --> 00:25:56.299 So when these deeds are manifested, men and women, 00:25:56.599 --> 00:25:59.900 what is happening is that something from our 00:25:59.900 --> 00:26:02.380 personality gets mixed with the divine flow. 00:26:03.500 --> 00:26:07.839 Praise God. So there's a divine flow. Amen? The 00:26:07.839 --> 00:26:10.539 mind of God being revealed. But as the mind of 00:26:10.539 --> 00:26:13.039 God is being revealed, it gets mixed up with 00:26:13.039 --> 00:26:15.930 our what? With our own personality. Praise God. 00:26:18.289 --> 00:26:21.650 So for example, it will be mixed with our minds. 00:26:22.130 --> 00:26:25.049 Because when it flows from the Spirit, our mind 00:26:25.049 --> 00:26:27.549 understands it. So it will be mixed with our 00:26:27.549 --> 00:26:30.190 minds. It will be mixed based on our understanding. 00:26:30.430 --> 00:26:33.509 It will be mixed based on our emotions. It will 00:26:33.509 --> 00:26:36.809 be mixed based on our maturity in the things 00:26:36.809 --> 00:26:41.549 of the Spirit. Hallelujah. Let me say it again. 00:26:44.359 --> 00:26:46.359 We say because they are manifested through what? 00:26:46.480 --> 00:26:49.839 Through imperfect channels as men and women, 00:26:49.960 --> 00:26:54.119 through us. Why? Because when they are in manifestation, 00:26:54.420 --> 00:26:57.980 they get mixed with our what? Personality. Because 00:26:57.980 --> 00:27:00.859 God will speak through us as vessels. The Spirit 00:27:00.859 --> 00:27:03.339 of God will speak through us as what? As His 00:27:03.339 --> 00:27:06.039 vessels. Amen? And when He is speaking through 00:27:06.039 --> 00:27:09.579 us, the instructions will be lit with our minds, 00:27:09.740 --> 00:27:13.769 our understanding, our emotions. Our maturity 00:27:13.769 --> 00:27:17.329 in communication and our knowledge of spiritual 00:27:17.329 --> 00:27:24.349 things. Hallelujah. Our knowledge of spiritual 00:27:24.349 --> 00:27:28.170 things or the things of the Spirit. Hallelujah. 00:27:32.210 --> 00:27:34.910 So we must understand something, that when it 00:27:34.910 --> 00:27:36.849 comes to the expression of the gifts of the Spirit, 00:27:37.009 --> 00:27:39.710 like gifts of the prophecy, God does not put 00:27:39.710 --> 00:27:44.460 a premium on ignorance and education. When it 00:27:44.460 --> 00:27:46.099 comes to the manifestation of the themes of the 00:27:46.099 --> 00:27:49.680 spirit, God does not put a what? A premium on 00:27:49.680 --> 00:27:54.039 what? On ignorance or what? Or education because 00:27:54.039 --> 00:27:57.220 he is using the vessel that carries his spirit. 00:27:59.160 --> 00:28:01.859 He does not put a premium on ignorance or what? 00:28:01.960 --> 00:28:07.579 Or education. Pastor Vic, Vic, Victor, this man 00:28:07.579 --> 00:28:10.640 is an associate professor. I think what is going 00:28:10.640 --> 00:28:13.059 to be happening? he will be flowing like water. 00:28:13.099 --> 00:28:15.700 The things will be happening. And then suddenly 00:28:15.700 --> 00:28:17.940 now, he will look at somebody now doing undergraduate, 00:28:18.119 --> 00:28:20.500 he say, oh, he's doing undergraduate. Even the 00:28:20.500 --> 00:28:22.859 undergraduate is not medicine, it's archaeology. 00:28:24.940 --> 00:28:31.500 Studying of soil. I think, let him just remain 00:28:31.500 --> 00:28:36.460 at tongues and interpretation. No. God does not 00:28:36.460 --> 00:28:39.119 put a premium on what? On ignorance or what? 00:28:39.580 --> 00:28:41.599 Education, Acts chapter 4, verse 7 to 13. Facts, 00:28:41.700 --> 00:29:07.980 let's read. Acts chapter 4, verse 7 to 13. Then 00:29:07.980 --> 00:29:10.940 Mayoko filled with what? Then Takunda filled 00:29:10.940 --> 00:29:14.519 with what? With the Holy Ghost sent unto them. 00:29:16.559 --> 00:29:19.259 Ye rulers of people and the elders in Israel, 00:29:19.420 --> 00:29:22.940 if we this day be examined of the good deed drawn 00:29:22.940 --> 00:29:25.220 to the impotent man. What is the good deeds? 00:29:26.559 --> 00:29:28.539 What is the good deed they did to the impotent 00:29:28.539 --> 00:29:33.599 man? They healed him. Hallelujah. They healed 00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:38.519 him. See what he said. by what means he is made 00:29:38.519 --> 00:29:41.900 whole. Be it not unto you all, and to all the 00:29:41.900 --> 00:29:44.839 people of Israel, but that by the name of Jesus 00:29:44.839 --> 00:29:46.940 Christ of Nazareth, whom they have crucified, 00:29:47.220 --> 00:29:50.539 whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth 00:29:50.539 --> 00:29:55.059 this man stand before you at home. This is the 00:29:55.059 --> 00:29:58.640 stone which was set at the Lord of you builders, 00:29:58.880 --> 00:30:01.299 which is become the hair of the corner. Neither 00:30:01.299 --> 00:30:04.670 is there salvation in any other. For there is 00:30:04.670 --> 00:30:06.750 none other name on that heaven given among men, 00:30:06.829 --> 00:30:09.930 where be we must be saved. 13. Now when they 00:30:09.930 --> 00:30:13.329 saw the boldness of Peter and what? Fear with 00:30:13.329 --> 00:30:17.690 the spirit, boldness. Hallelujah. Fear with the 00:30:17.690 --> 00:30:20.809 spirit, what? Boldness. Fear with the spirit, 00:30:20.890 --> 00:30:23.450 a display of the gifts of healing. Fear with 00:30:23.450 --> 00:30:26.349 the spirit, receive power. Fear with the spirit, 00:30:26.509 --> 00:30:30.130 boldness to what? To speak to the rulers. And 00:30:30.130 --> 00:30:34.769 see what they said now. And they perceived that 00:30:34.769 --> 00:30:38.670 they were what? Unlearned and what? Ignorant 00:30:38.670 --> 00:30:42.190 men. They marveled and they took knowledge of 00:30:42.190 --> 00:30:46.349 them that they had been studying books. That 00:30:46.349 --> 00:30:50.089 they had been with who? The man that is being. 00:30:50.250 --> 00:30:52.869 Let me put it this way. The man. I don't know. 00:30:52.890 --> 00:30:54.750 This is not a good English. But let me put it 00:30:54.750 --> 00:30:57.230 this way. The man that is being. English people 00:30:57.230 --> 00:30:59.970 are weaker than me. The man that is being with 00:30:59.970 --> 00:31:05.329 Jesus always. Ah, that man can never be termed 00:31:05.329 --> 00:31:11.109 an uneducated man. That man can never be termed 00:31:11.109 --> 00:31:14.750 an ignorant man. Oh boy, I saw a testimony of 00:31:14.750 --> 00:31:16.750 a woman that just attended Rema Bible Institute 00:31:16.750 --> 00:31:19.490 in Kaduna. She said she does not know how to 00:31:19.490 --> 00:31:22.150 read. She does not know. In fact, even her husband 00:31:22.150 --> 00:31:24.750 said that that place is only for educated people. 00:31:25.750 --> 00:31:28.109 He was not giving her transport money because 00:31:28.109 --> 00:31:30.289 he knows she's going there to waste her time. 00:31:32.039 --> 00:31:36.819 She made up her mind to go to Rema Bible Institute. 00:31:38.319 --> 00:31:43.000 She registered. She attended. During the graduation, 00:31:43.220 --> 00:31:46.380 she was sharing her testimony. She said, it's 00:31:46.380 --> 00:31:50.779 from this school that the Holy Spirit opened 00:31:50.779 --> 00:31:54.579 her understanding. For the first time, she could 00:31:54.579 --> 00:31:58.440 read the Bible and understand the Bible. That 00:31:58.440 --> 00:32:01.640 is not there. And she can speak articulate English 00:32:01.640 --> 00:32:05.160 language. Her husband has never called her honey. 00:32:06.960 --> 00:32:09.539 But because of the miraculous he has seen in 00:32:09.539 --> 00:32:13.779 her life, he is calling her honey. I'm using 00:32:13.779 --> 00:32:16.720 her sound. And he's not only calling her honey, 00:32:16.839 --> 00:32:20.980 he's giving her transfer money. Till the graduation 00:32:20.980 --> 00:32:28.410 day. She has been with Jesus. Amen. The man that 00:32:28.410 --> 00:32:32.309 is always with Jesus, that man is a supernatural 00:32:32.309 --> 00:32:39.849 man. He defies every law of natural. You see, 00:32:39.869 --> 00:32:42.109 they took cognizance of them. You know, I went 00:32:42.109 --> 00:32:49.769 to check. That word on land, it means agrammatos. 00:32:50.849 --> 00:32:53.589 That word on land, in Greek what it means is 00:32:53.589 --> 00:32:59.420 agrammatos. A -G -R -A -N -M -A -T -O -S. Grammar. 00:32:59.420 --> 00:33:05.400 Grammar. Agrammatos. You're not writing. You're 00:33:05.400 --> 00:33:07.160 a worker. Workers are supposed to be writing 00:33:07.160 --> 00:33:09.720 and be following. Because now, those gathered 00:33:09.720 --> 00:33:12.019 go somewhere in Iskele. Gather ten people that 00:33:12.019 --> 00:33:13.319 are demon possessed. You're the one that will 00:33:13.319 --> 00:33:18.960 curse them. Agrammatos. Agrammatos means not 00:33:18.960 --> 00:33:23.299 formally educated in the scriptures or rabbinical 00:33:23.299 --> 00:33:29.470 school. A formal institution. These guys were 00:33:29.470 --> 00:33:31.710 not formally educated. You know what we are about 00:33:31.710 --> 00:33:34.650 starting this church? Some people told us that 00:33:34.650 --> 00:33:39.190 we have not gone to theological school. Number 00:33:39.190 --> 00:33:43.230 one. Number two. We are not even married. Number 00:33:43.230 --> 00:33:48.490 three. We are just going there to just... Yes. 00:33:49.069 --> 00:33:51.210 And we are going to disturb. Is there even a 00:33:51.210 --> 00:33:53.369 matured woman among us? No. So we are going to 00:33:53.369 --> 00:33:56.890 go and deceive the young ladies. Ladies, have 00:33:56.890 --> 00:34:04.349 anyone deceived you here? Okay. You know, we 00:34:04.349 --> 00:34:06.410 were laughing about it in the past, right? I 00:34:06.410 --> 00:34:09.889 said, at least now, we have ticked one of the 00:34:09.889 --> 00:34:20.750 criteria. We are all married. According to the 00:34:20.750 --> 00:34:26.010 standards, We are still on agrammatos. Because 00:34:26.010 --> 00:34:32.489 there is no any formal theological school that 00:34:32.489 --> 00:34:36.710 we have gone. Have your life been the same since 00:34:36.710 --> 00:34:39.550 you joined us? All the things you have received 00:34:39.550 --> 00:34:41.849 so far, does it look like we are uneducated? 00:34:44.869 --> 00:34:49.010 We have been with Jesus. And we are still with 00:34:49.010 --> 00:34:54.619 Jesus till we die. Hallelujah. Kai. We will go 00:34:54.619 --> 00:34:57.739 all the way with him till we die. And everywhere 00:34:57.739 --> 00:35:00.619 we go, people see. We're not here with Jesus. 00:35:00.679 --> 00:35:04.440 Nobody. Who cares about my certificates? Jesus. 00:35:04.940 --> 00:35:07.599 That I'm head of department. That is associate. 00:35:07.900 --> 00:35:10.360 Who cares that you're associate professor? Nobody. 00:35:12.320 --> 00:35:15.239 Oh, we know that you are be with who? With Jesus. 00:35:15.659 --> 00:35:17.800 And every time you speak, you don't speak in 00:35:17.800 --> 00:35:19.880 word only. But you speak in the spirit and power. 00:35:20.400 --> 00:35:22.940 With not assurance in the heart of your hearers. 00:35:26.440 --> 00:35:31.800 Hallelujah. Rabbinical school. Ignorant in Greek 00:35:31.800 --> 00:35:38.380 word means idiot. But the meaning is a layman 00:35:38.380 --> 00:35:41.380 or someone without professional or scholarly 00:35:41.380 --> 00:35:46.559 status. A layman, right? A layman or someone 00:35:46.559 --> 00:35:49.440 without what? Professional or scholarly what? 00:35:50.039 --> 00:35:52.480 So they perceive that these guys were nobody 00:35:52.480 --> 00:35:56.199 in the society. But they know that they have 00:35:56.199 --> 00:35:59.159 been with Jesus. And they've seen and tested 00:35:59.159 --> 00:36:02.719 the authority of Jesus. And it's an undeniable 00:36:02.719 --> 00:36:05.619 power and authority. Hallelujah. Praise God. 00:36:08.300 --> 00:36:12.079 So the person who speaks, the person who speaks, 00:36:12.380 --> 00:36:17.219 the person who speaks, the person who speaks 00:36:17.219 --> 00:36:20.599 does not mean He or she is not a believer or 00:36:20.599 --> 00:36:23.300 is not filled with the Spirit of God. Amen? When 00:36:23.300 --> 00:36:24.719 it comes to the expression of the gifts of the 00:36:24.719 --> 00:36:26.860 Holy Spirit, the speaker, the person that you 00:36:26.860 --> 00:36:29.659 are hearing, right? When he licks those things, 00:36:29.800 --> 00:36:31.380 that does not mean that he is a non -believer. 00:36:31.800 --> 00:36:33.719 Amen? And that does not mean that he does not 00:36:33.719 --> 00:36:36.059 have the Spirit of God. Like I told us, what's 00:36:36.059 --> 00:36:38.380 happening is that as the manifestation is coming, 00:36:38.559 --> 00:36:41.679 it's mixed with emotions, it can be mixed with 00:36:41.679 --> 00:36:44.340 the mind of the person, the maturity of the person, 00:36:44.440 --> 00:36:46.579 how the person understands the things of the 00:36:46.579 --> 00:36:50.369 Spirit. Amen? Hallelujah. So that is why we must 00:36:50.369 --> 00:36:53.590 give so much emphasis to the teaching of God's 00:36:53.590 --> 00:36:57.329 words. Because so that the man that is speaking, 00:36:57.550 --> 00:37:00.969 now he has been taught and trained in the word 00:37:00.969 --> 00:37:03.030 of faith much more, much more, much more, much 00:37:03.030 --> 00:37:05.769 more. When the manifestation is coming now, it 00:37:05.769 --> 00:37:08.929 can be felt that well. Hallelujah. Because now 00:37:08.929 --> 00:37:12.190 you are taught and you are trained that the gifts 00:37:12.190 --> 00:37:14.750 of prophecy and the gifts of the Holy Ghost, 00:37:14.849 --> 00:37:18.280 when they come, is to build, right? So, because 00:37:18.280 --> 00:37:19.940 you have been taught and trained and you are 00:37:19.940 --> 00:37:22.679 now mature or you are maturing, as the manifestation 00:37:22.679 --> 00:37:27.239 is coming, you know how to now pass it so that 00:37:27.239 --> 00:37:30.500 there will be a building. Praise God. Hallelujah. 00:37:30.980 --> 00:37:33.719 Do we understand? Yes. So, expressing the gifts 00:37:33.719 --> 00:37:38.659 of what? The gifts of prophecy. So, we need the 00:37:38.659 --> 00:37:40.659 operation of the gifts of prophecy in our congregation. 00:37:41.559 --> 00:37:45.889 We need everything God has provided for us. But 00:37:45.889 --> 00:37:49.030 we need to follow the instructions of God for 00:37:49.030 --> 00:37:52.989 the proper use of the gift. Praise God. 1 Corinthians 00:37:52.989 --> 00:37:57.289 14, 26. He said, let all things be done unto 00:37:57.289 --> 00:38:03.769 a divine. 1 Corinthians 14, 26. 1 Corinthians 00:38:03.769 --> 00:38:07.010 14, 26. See what the scripture says. Very fast. 00:38:10.409 --> 00:38:12.570 See what it says. Hi, brethren. Hi, brethren. 00:38:13.119 --> 00:38:14.539 When you come together, every one of you had 00:38:14.539 --> 00:38:16.099 a psalm, had a doctrine, had a tongue, had a 00:38:16.099 --> 00:38:18.440 revelation, had an interpretation. Let all things 00:38:18.440 --> 00:38:22.320 be drawn unto what? Edifying. Hallelujah. The 00:38:22.320 --> 00:38:26.179 aim of the expression is to what? To edify. Even 00:38:26.179 --> 00:38:28.860 as it's mixing with your mind, edification. As 00:38:28.860 --> 00:38:30.800 it's mixing with your emotions, edification. 00:38:31.039 --> 00:38:33.440 As it's mixing whether you have a bad day or 00:38:33.440 --> 00:38:36.119 you have a good day, the aim is to what? Is to 00:38:36.119 --> 00:38:41.099 edify. Hallelujah. Praise God. Hallelujah. So 00:38:41.099 --> 00:38:45.269 although, We may be inspired to speak. We may 00:38:45.269 --> 00:38:47.869 have a message in tongues or interpretation of 00:38:47.869 --> 00:38:51.170 tongues or a word of prophecy. It is not always 00:38:51.170 --> 00:38:55.050 wise to just jump into it. Because the aim is 00:38:55.050 --> 00:38:59.309 to edify. The aim is not just to bubble up. Praise 00:38:59.309 --> 00:39:02.250 God. It's not just to what? Bubble up words. 00:39:02.469 --> 00:39:05.269 The aim is to what? Is to edify. Let me say this 00:39:05.269 --> 00:39:07.309 now as it's coming to my heart. Then as a believer, 00:39:07.389 --> 00:39:11.260 we need to be cheerful how we communicate. the 00:39:11.260 --> 00:39:17.420 instructions of God to our hearers. We must be 00:39:17.420 --> 00:39:22.860 careful. Our words build. We must be careful 00:39:22.860 --> 00:39:31.820 how we communicate. So the manifestation and 00:39:31.820 --> 00:39:33.900 the expression of the gifts of the prophecy are 00:39:33.900 --> 00:39:38.260 a product of both God and man. The manifestation 00:39:38.960 --> 00:39:41.059 of the expression or the expression of the gifts 00:39:41.059 --> 00:39:44.920 of the prophecy are what? Are a product of both 00:39:44.920 --> 00:39:49.920 what? Divine and what? And human. God and man. 00:39:50.639 --> 00:39:54.800 So God will lead me to edify somebody. Hallelujah. 00:39:55.239 --> 00:39:59.059 God will lead me to build what? To build someone. 00:39:59.300 --> 00:40:09.219 Praise God. So nowhere in the Bible does it say 00:40:09.219 --> 00:40:10.980 that the Holy Spirit ever talked with tongues. 00:40:12.139 --> 00:40:15.300 Nowhere. Instead, we read that the Holy Spirit, 00:40:15.360 --> 00:40:18.119 what? Gives you utterance and you are the one 00:40:18.119 --> 00:40:21.280 that do the talking. Praise God. Hallelujah. 00:40:22.239 --> 00:40:24.659 Nowhere that the Holy Ghost is the one that is 00:40:24.659 --> 00:40:27.159 doing the healing directly. But the Holy Ghost 00:40:27.159 --> 00:40:30.280 has the power to heal his way. It's in us. Who 00:40:30.280 --> 00:40:32.800 does the healing? In my name, yes, I'll do it. 00:40:33.139 --> 00:40:38.699 Lay hands on what? On the sea. Praise God. So 00:40:38.699 --> 00:40:41.920 the power of loss, we read Acts chapter 4, 29, 00:40:42.340 --> 00:40:46.179 does stretch from your hands and heal. How Jesus 00:40:46.179 --> 00:40:49.400 stretched out his hands? Through my hands. Hallelujah. 00:40:50.099 --> 00:40:53.179 So as the manifestation of the feats of the Spirit 00:40:53.179 --> 00:40:55.059 are happening, they are happening through who? 00:40:55.639 --> 00:40:58.039 They are happening through who? They are happening 00:40:58.039 --> 00:41:03.280 through me. Hallelujah. Write this down there. 00:41:04.289 --> 00:41:07.010 I must strive to daily become better in the things 00:41:07.010 --> 00:41:14.869 of the Spirit. For more edification, I must strive 00:41:14.869 --> 00:41:18.590 to get better at what? At the things of the Spirit. 00:41:18.769 --> 00:41:22.510 I must strive to get better in the study of God's 00:41:22.510 --> 00:41:25.409 Word. I must strive to get better in the place 00:41:25.409 --> 00:41:28.269 of prayer. I must strive to get better in the 00:41:28.269 --> 00:41:30.489 place of preaching the Word. I must strive to 00:41:30.489 --> 00:41:33.480 get better. I must strive to do what? to get 00:41:33.480 --> 00:41:39.460 better. We pray something that our brother led 00:41:39.460 --> 00:41:41.119 us. One of the things we pray that he would, 00:41:41.239 --> 00:41:44.019 we should stay what? We should stay fresh. Ah, 00:41:44.219 --> 00:41:46.960 the man that is always fresh, the man that is 00:41:46.960 --> 00:41:49.739 always boiling hot with the themes of the spirit, 00:41:49.940 --> 00:41:53.380 oh boy, he is limitless when it comes to building 00:41:53.380 --> 00:41:58.619 others. Everywhere you go, you bring so much 00:41:58.619 --> 00:42:03.239 edification to your hearers. Praise God. Hallelujah. 00:42:06.300 --> 00:42:09.760 So right is lastly now. Having said all these 00:42:09.760 --> 00:42:14.760 things, prophecy is a result of merging the divine 00:42:14.760 --> 00:42:22.659 and the human. Prophecy, prophecy is a result 00:42:22.659 --> 00:42:26.099 of merging the divine and what? And the human. 00:42:28.460 --> 00:42:32.250 1 Timothy 4 verse 14. We've read it a couple 00:42:32.250 --> 00:42:35.010 of times here. Neglect not the gift that is in 00:42:35.010 --> 00:42:37.349 thee. Prophecy is a result of merging of the 00:42:37.349 --> 00:42:40.409 divine and the human. 1 Timothy 4 .14 Neglect 00:42:40.409 --> 00:42:43.469 not the gift that is what? That is in thee, which 00:42:43.469 --> 00:42:46.329 was given thee by the prophecy, with the laying 00:42:46.329 --> 00:42:49.949 on of the hands of the what? Presbytery. Praise 00:42:49.949 --> 00:42:53.750 God. Who is the one not to neglect? Who is the 00:42:53.750 --> 00:42:57.510 one not to neglect? Me. Hallelujah. 1 Timothy 00:42:57.510 --> 00:43:01.820 4 .6 again. Sorry, 1 .6. Wherefore I put thee 00:43:01.820 --> 00:43:06.980 in remembrance that thou stir up the gifts of 00:43:06.980 --> 00:43:13.219 God, which is in what? In thee. Who does the 00:43:13.219 --> 00:43:17.099 stirring? Who does the speaking? Who does the 00:43:17.099 --> 00:43:20.280 tongues and interpretation? Who does the laying 00:43:20.280 --> 00:43:23.300 of hands? Who does the one that gives the gifts 00:43:23.300 --> 00:43:25.820 of the word of wisdom, the word of knowledge? 00:43:26.329 --> 00:43:30.150 Casting out devils. Who's the one? I do it. Hallelujah. 00:43:30.889 --> 00:43:34.670 Praise God. So in essence now, when it comes 00:43:34.670 --> 00:43:37.309 to the expression now of the things of the spirit, 00:43:37.429 --> 00:43:40.230 God needs you for the manifestation of the gifts 00:43:40.230 --> 00:43:44.369 of prophecy. Hallelujah. But God does not need 00:43:44.369 --> 00:43:47.269 you to be the way you are always. He will always 00:43:47.269 --> 00:43:51.070 need you to grow unto maturity. Amen. Hallelujah. 00:43:51.929 --> 00:43:54.710 Because as the gifts are perfect, the Holy Ghost 00:43:54.710 --> 00:43:57.650 is perfect, the manifestations are perfect, they 00:43:57.650 --> 00:43:59.909 are going to move and flow through who? Through 00:43:59.909 --> 00:44:03.829 me. Hallelujah. So every day I must stay refined. 00:44:04.070 --> 00:44:07.030 Ah, I love this word now. Every day I must stay 00:44:07.030 --> 00:44:10.309 what? I must stay refined. Refined in the place 00:44:10.309 --> 00:44:12.510 of prayer. Refined in the place of the words. 00:44:12.909 --> 00:44:16.050 Refined praying in tongues. Refined praying in 00:44:16.050 --> 00:44:25.429 tongues. Because I want when the gift is manifested, 00:44:25.610 --> 00:44:30.409 you get edified. Hallelujah. The last thing we 00:44:30.409 --> 00:44:32.610 are discussing now and we pray, how to judge 00:44:32.610 --> 00:44:38.269 prophecy? How to judge prophecy? I'm going to 00:44:38.269 --> 00:44:41.829 list it. I will list it and then list the scriptures 00:44:41.829 --> 00:44:45.369 so that we can catch up with time. Amen? How 00:44:45.369 --> 00:44:47.889 to judge what? Prophecy. Even though when we 00:44:47.889 --> 00:44:50.539 come to the prophetic office, We're going to 00:44:50.539 --> 00:44:54.219 talk about it in detail. Amen? Praise God. How 00:44:54.219 --> 00:45:01.280 to judge what? Prophecy. 1 Corinthians 14 .29. 00:45:01.440 --> 00:45:07.900 Fast. 1 Corinthians 14 .29. Let the prophets 00:45:07.900 --> 00:45:14.739 speak. 203. And let the other judge. Let the 00:45:14.739 --> 00:45:17.659 prophets speak. 203. And let the other what? 00:45:17.980 --> 00:45:21.829 Judge. So the word judge. is the word diacrino. 00:45:22.269 --> 00:45:27.110 The word judge is the word diacrino. D -I -A 00:45:27.110 --> 00:45:33.449 -K -R -I -N -O. Diacrino. D -I -A -K -R -I -N 00:45:33.449 --> 00:45:37.750 -O. Which means to discern, to distinguish, to 00:45:37.750 --> 00:45:43.210 test, to evaluate, to weigh carefully the message 00:45:43.210 --> 00:45:46.510 received, whether it is genuine and edifying 00:45:46.510 --> 00:45:49.730 or not. I'm going to repeat it. Diacrino, which 00:45:49.730 --> 00:45:53.909 means to discern, to distinguish, to test, to 00:45:53.909 --> 00:45:57.769 evaluate, to weigh carefully the message received, 00:45:58.010 --> 00:46:04.210 whether it is genuine and edifying or not. To 00:46:04.210 --> 00:46:07.130 test, to discern, to distinguish, to test, to 00:46:07.130 --> 00:46:09.690 evaluate, to weigh carefully the message received, 00:46:09.889 --> 00:46:13.650 whether it is genuine and edifying or what? Or 00:46:13.650 --> 00:46:18.820 not. Hallelujah. Let the other judge. Because 00:46:18.820 --> 00:46:21.960 the essence is that when these words come, right, 00:46:22.059 --> 00:46:24.719 that we don't quench the spirit. Hallelujah. 00:46:25.079 --> 00:46:29.619 We don't despise the prophesying. Amen. And also 00:46:29.619 --> 00:46:32.480 we're able to prove all things and hold fast 00:46:32.480 --> 00:46:35.920 to that which is what? Which is good. 1 Thessalonians 00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:44.739 5, 19 -21. Like we said, even though we acknowledge 00:46:44.739 --> 00:46:47.610 that the gifts of prophecy are God's words, But 00:46:47.610 --> 00:46:49.610 they are coming through what? Through fallible 00:46:49.610 --> 00:46:54.630 human vessels. So therefore, there is an instruction 00:46:54.630 --> 00:46:57.150 for us to be able to what? To weigh them carefully. 00:46:57.670 --> 00:46:59.650 I remember, you remember the first prayers we 00:46:59.650 --> 00:47:01.929 had, the 14 -hour retreat we had. One brother 00:47:01.929 --> 00:47:04.610 came in. And then Yurman Papa Saulu told us that 00:47:04.610 --> 00:47:08.110 we should not allow him to prophesy. Because 00:47:08.110 --> 00:47:09.789 if we allow him to prophesy, he's going to say 00:47:09.789 --> 00:47:11.690 something. The people that were around, they 00:47:11.690 --> 00:47:14.250 know what I'm talking about. I know when we gave 00:47:14.250 --> 00:47:17.139 him opportunity to speak. He said he sees Zimbabwean 00:47:17.139 --> 00:47:32.079 currency getting better. So when we came, we 00:47:32.079 --> 00:47:33.880 now started correcting what he's saying. Maybe 00:47:33.880 --> 00:47:40.059 he needs this. Maybe he needs that. Amen? Often 00:47:40.059 --> 00:47:41.820 we're going to do it now in the next minutes. 00:47:42.360 --> 00:47:45.460 Don't be afraid to give the instructions. Don't 00:47:45.460 --> 00:47:47.260 worry, there will be people in your group that 00:47:47.260 --> 00:47:50.559 are going to say what actually that instruction 00:47:50.559 --> 00:47:53.539 is by the Spirit. Amen? Hallelujah. See if you 00:47:53.539 --> 00:47:56.179 get better at it. Amen? Number one, write it. 00:47:58.099 --> 00:48:00.539 Prophecy is primarily speaking unto men to edification, 00:48:00.900 --> 00:48:04.719 exhortation, and comfort. So first, we must judge 00:48:04.719 --> 00:48:08.360 that is what? Is edifying, is building. Number 00:48:08.360 --> 00:48:15.579 one. 1 Corinthians 14, verse 3. You can write 00:48:15.579 --> 00:48:19.219 that scripture. That's number one. Number two. 00:48:20.260 --> 00:48:26.300 Is it in conformity with the scriptures? Prophecy 00:48:26.300 --> 00:48:27.920 is primarily, that's number one. Prophecy is 00:48:27.920 --> 00:48:31.099 primarily speaking unto men to edification, exhortation, 00:48:31.099 --> 00:48:33.639 and comfort. 1 Corinthians 14, verse 3. So when 00:48:33.639 --> 00:48:35.780 these instructions are coming, what we should 00:48:35.780 --> 00:48:37.719 see is that what? There's a building. There's 00:48:37.719 --> 00:48:40.880 a guidance. There's a help. Amen? There's encouragement. 00:48:41.039 --> 00:48:45.880 Praise God. Not fear. Hallelujah. Not chaos happening 00:48:45.880 --> 00:48:49.179 in the heart of receivers. It's a spirit of love. 00:48:49.380 --> 00:48:51.599 So two, is it in conformity with the scriptures? 00:48:52.920 --> 00:48:54.920 Is it in conformity with the scriptures? Does 00:48:54.920 --> 00:48:58.559 it agree with the scriptures? Like on Sunday 00:48:58.559 --> 00:49:01.199 I said something, everybody laughed. My children 00:49:01.199 --> 00:49:05.780 or my son, my son, do not be afraid. For I, your 00:49:05.780 --> 00:49:09.619 father, sometimes I often get afraid and scared. 00:49:11.440 --> 00:49:17.000 So question. Does God get scared? Does He conform 00:49:17.000 --> 00:49:20.460 with the Scriptures? Does He agree with the Scriptures? 00:49:22.079 --> 00:49:23.760 But you know, some people can receive it and 00:49:23.760 --> 00:49:27.039 say, Oh God, don't be scared. We will not be 00:49:27.039 --> 00:49:36.059 scared. I'm telling you. Does He conform? Does 00:49:36.059 --> 00:49:40.280 He agree with the Scriptures? 2 Peter 1 .21 2 00:49:40.280 --> 00:49:48.619 Timothy 3 .16 -17 1 John 4, 1, 3. 2 Peter 1, 00:49:48.719 --> 00:49:55.099 21. 2 Timothy 3, 16, 17. 1 John 4, 1, 2, 3. Revelation 00:49:55.099 --> 00:50:02.300 19, verse 10. Revelation 19, verse 10. 1 Corinthians 00:50:02.300 --> 00:50:08.500 14, 37. Do I need to say it again? As you say 00:50:08.500 --> 00:50:14.630 it. 2 Peter 1, verse 21. 2 Timothy 3, 16 -17. 00:50:15.070 --> 00:50:22.170 1 John 4, 1 -3. Revelation 19, 10. 1 Corinthians 00:50:22.170 --> 00:50:32.110 14, 37. 3. Do the prophecies produce faith and 00:50:32.110 --> 00:50:38.030 liberty or fear and bondage? Do the prophecies 00:50:38.030 --> 00:50:42.030 produce what? Faith and liberty. Or fear and 00:50:42.030 --> 00:50:46.690 bondage? Do the prophecies produce faith and 00:50:46.690 --> 00:50:51.829 liberty? Or fear and what? And bondage? 2 Corinthians 00:50:51.829 --> 00:50:55.469 4 .13 Do the prophecies produce faith and liberty? 00:50:55.670 --> 00:51:09.489 Or fear and bondage? Romans 8 .15 Romans 8 .15 00:51:10.180 --> 00:51:17.480 2 Corinthians 3 .17. 2 Corinthians 3 .17. 2 Corinthians 00:51:17.480 --> 00:51:29.679 11 .20. 4. Does it glorify God or draws attention 00:51:29.679 --> 00:51:34.039 to man? Does it glorify God or draws attention 00:51:34.039 --> 00:51:36.960 to who? To man. So when you receive these words, 00:51:37.099 --> 00:51:40.460 does it glorify God? or draws attention to who? 00:51:40.880 --> 00:51:54.840 To man. 1 John 4, 1 -2. 1 John 4, 1 -2. 1 John 00:51:54.840 --> 00:52:02.579 4, 1 -2. John 16, 14. John 16, 14. We have two 00:52:02.579 --> 00:52:07.369 more here. The gift of prophecy is not to be 00:52:07.369 --> 00:52:14.610 used to introduce new doctrine. The gift of prophecy 00:52:14.610 --> 00:52:18.110 is not to be used to introduce what? New doctrine. 00:52:21.750 --> 00:52:27.269 Jude 1 .3 Jude 1 .3 You see, I'm bringing a deeper 00:52:27.269 --> 00:52:31.150 truth. I want to take you people and we'll dive 00:52:31.150 --> 00:52:35.190 into a new dimension. There is no any dimension 00:52:35.190 --> 00:52:38.829 anyway. The dimension is here. It's already revealed 00:52:38.829 --> 00:52:43.909 here. Amen. Hallelujah.

And then lastly, the gift of prophecy 00:53:10.389 --> 00:53:15.989 is not to be used merely to satisfy curiosity. 00:53:19.829 --> 00:53:22.809 The gift of prophecy is not to be used merely 00:53:22.809 --> 00:53:26.170 to satisfy what? Curiosity about the future. 00:53:29.250 --> 00:53:32.929 They want to predict who wins the UEFA Champions 00:53:32.929 --> 00:53:38.969 League. A lady met me. She came and met me and 00:53:38.969 --> 00:53:40.710 said, please, there are two guys and pastor, 00:53:40.789 --> 00:53:43.409 can you pray? Real, I'm telling you real. Can 00:53:43.409 --> 00:53:45.050 you pray? I want to know whether the man is my 00:53:45.050 --> 00:53:50.769 husband. I said, why do I need to pray? She said, 00:53:50.789 --> 00:53:52.429 because she came to the house during weekend 00:53:52.429 --> 00:53:56.730 and she saw the clothes of another lady. And 00:53:56.730 --> 00:53:58.429 the cleaner told her that the lady has been there 00:53:58.429 --> 00:54:06.670 for two weeks. I asked her, have you been having 00:54:06.670 --> 00:54:08.929 sex with him? She said, yes. I said, he's not 00:54:08.929 --> 00:54:14.710 your husband. Straight. She said, even my mother 00:54:14.710 --> 00:54:18.070 has endorsed him. I said, even if your mother 00:54:18.070 --> 00:54:19.530 has endorsed him, I don't need to pray about 00:54:19.530 --> 00:54:21.050 it. He's not your husband and you're not his 00:54:21.050 --> 00:54:24.920 wife. They never liked this statement. She left 00:54:24.920 --> 00:54:27.960 and never came till today. I don't know. I think 00:54:27.960 --> 00:54:32.039 I deleted her number too from my phone. Praise 00:54:32.039 --> 00:54:35.840 God. You want to satisfy curiosity about the 00:54:35.840 --> 00:54:39.219 future. Should I pick the husband? He see my 00:54:39.219 --> 00:54:43.579 husband. He see my wife. They already having 00:54:43.579 --> 00:54:46.000 feelings for him. Why do you want me to know? 00:54:48.139 --> 00:54:51.199 Praise God. Hallelujah. Let's rise to our feet. 00:54:52.780 --> 00:54:56.360 Did I give any scripture about that? 2 Peter 00:54:56.360 --> 00:55:11.260 1, 20 -21. Matthew 7, 15 -20. Matthew 7, 15 to 00:55:11.260 --> 00:55:16.280 what? To 20. Hallelujah.
