Welcome to NECF sermons. Each message here is
designed to uplift and strengthen you in your
walk with God. Don't miss out, stay with us until
the end for a rewarding experience. Let's dive
right in. believers meeting and what the demonstration
of the things of the spirit hallelujah Hebrews
chapter 10 Hebrews chapter 10 are we there verse
24 Hebrews chapter 10 verse 24 Hebrews chapter
10 verse 24 and the scripture reads and let us
consider one another to do what? To provoke To
provoke unto love and to do what? And to do good
works. Hallelujah and let us consider what? One
another let us pay attention to one another to
provoke one another unto love unto what unto
unto Good works 25 not forsaking the assembly
of ourselves together as the manner of some is
But exhorting one another and so much the more
as yes see the day what? Approaching hallelujah
Praise God praise God so as believers Meetings
play a very important role in our lives Meetings
are pivotal points. They play very important
role in what? In our lives. Believers, meetings
are important in our lives. It is major. Meetings
are major for the believer. Meetings are vital
for the believer. And we cannot afford to despise
meetings and treat them with contempt. We cannot.
So when we see verse 25, it says, not forsaking
the assembly of ourselves together, the gathering
of what? Of ourselves together, as some will
do. So we will gather, but there are people among
us that have made a culture and a habit of what?
Of disregarding that meeting. verse 24 where
we read is a from meetings we consider how to
provoke what one another hallelujah from meetings
we consider how to show one another how to do
what good works from meetings we learn how to
love however amidst that atmosphere we still
have some that have built a manner of what of
neglecting meetings praise God hallelujah believers
meetings and the demonstration of things of the
spirit so the word provoke means to incite the
word provoke means to what? to incite to incite
the word provoke means to what? to incite and
the meaning from the root word it means to sharpen
to sharpen the word provoke from the original
root word is what? to sharpen, to make sharp
to make sharp to stare up to spore to arch amen?
the word provoke is to what? to incite to incite
to stay up to make sharpen to sharpen to make
sharp hallelujah so believers meetings are meetings
where we do what we sharpen one another hallelujah
there are meetings where we do what we spoil
one another that's the word provoke there are
meetings where we incite one another hallelujah
there are meetings where we stimulate one another
unto what unto love and unto good works praise
God That's the essence of Christian gatherings
to stir up one another And then we see verse
25 say not forsaking that what forsaking the
meaning of forsaking means to leave behind To
leave behind to abandon to desert What is important
for you you decide to do what to abandon it That
same word was used for Demas in 2 Timothy chapter
4 verse 10. 2 Timothy chapter 4 verse 10. Same
word was used for Demas has forsaken me. Hallelujah.
Having loved this what? Present world and is
departed unto Thessalonica, Christians to Galatia,
Titus unto what? Dalmatia. So what did Demas
do? Right? He forsook a spiritual relationship
Supernatural arrangement by God for his benefit.
He decided to do what? To forsake it And when
you forsake a gathering, when you forsake believers,
what do you do? Definitely you must pursue something.
So what did he follow? He loved what? This present
world So if you have people here that despise
meetings, they despise meetings because they
are in pursuit of something. If you have people
that treat supernatural atmospheres, supernatural
meetings as such, that should build them God's
provision for their building, for their stability,
for their increase, for their direction, for
their instruction, and then you check their lives,
they are pursuing something entirely what? Against
the purposes of God. Hallelujah. Praise God So
we see that word same use for Dimas the word
mana as the mana of some is that what mana the
meaning of mana means Custom As the custom of
some will be custom a culture a way of life So
these people are not only leaving behind believers
meeting but they have made it a what a way of
life I Just had now in my heart that you are
trying to make it a way of life This word is
for you. Do not despise The provision I've made
for your life through this local church. Hallelujah
Make it a culture the same way you are making
it a culture To despise my provision, make it
also a culture to do what? To love my provision.
Hallelujah. It's a word for somebody here now.
Mana means custom. Something that is common among
a set of people. A tradition, like a habit. A
devotion. Something done consistently. Something
that you do what? Consistently. How far? Will
I see you in church tomorrow? He said, I know
the show, I know the show, I know the show, I
know the show. He said, I know, but last week
we discussed, you were not around last week.
He said, something urgent came up. There was
nothing urgent. He or she has just made it a
what? A culture, a habit of disregarding God's
provision for his or her what? Her life. Hallelujah.
Praise God So the local church you can write
this as you're writing the local church and Christian
gatherings are God's provision for my growth
I want you to be writing it that way personalize
it the local church and Christian gatherings
or believers gathering are God's provision for
my what? For my growth is a meeting where everybody
must participate Amen So we say the local church
and Christian gatherings are God's provision
for my growth number one my stability For my
growth my stability my instructions My direction
my training my building in the things of God
The local church and Christian gatherings are
God's provision for my growth, my stability,
my instructions, my direction, my training, and
my building in the things of God. Hallelujah.
The local church is God's provision for my profiting.
So every time I find myself in the church, it's
time I will be what? Profited. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
So every meeting is an opportunity for God's
profits to be made manifest in your life So despising
believers meeting despising Christian gatherings
is saying no to God's what? Profit. When you
are not profiting what's happening to you? When
you are not profiting what's happening? You are
losing So don't be a believer that is always
at this advantage position every day. No, no,
no, no, no, no. God has already provided all
that concerns me in Christ Jesus. He has made
it available through where? Through the local
church. Praise God. So the local church is God's
system for my spiritual well -being. Ha! Is God's
system for my what? My spiritual what? Well -being.
As long I find myself no sickness. there is no
sickness when I feel weak I feel weak one week
no touch two weeks no touch third week no touch
one month no touch two months no touch and I'm
wondering what's happening to me I cannot understand
what's happening to me I feel heavy I feel moody
I don't know what's happening to me one of these
days dust yourself and find yourself in the midst
of believers something will happen and you will
be provoked hallelujah you will be provoked that
weakness that you feel in your inside you will
not feel it again you came in here weak you will
live limping and jumping and rejoicing and full
of strength of the holy ghost again god system
for my what spiritual well -being is god system
for my supply in the things of spirit Is God's
system for my supply in the things of the Spirit?
Hallelujah! Every Christian must be built around
Christian gatherings. No Christian can be built
in his room. Listen to me, let me say it again.
No believer can be built in what? In his room.
If you find yourself in your room for too long,
you are partnering with Satan. is an activity
of darkness something is happening to your life
and you need a fire service approach believers
are not oh let me say it this way so that i can
write it believers are not called into christ
to be built in their rooms they are to be built
in where in the local church in the local church
So the gathering of people is the church Hallelujah
The church is the evidence Pastor Fred has taught
us here Jesus was speaking to Peter in Matthew
chapter 16 He said upon this rock I will do what?
I will build my what? My church and the gates
of hell will not what? Will not prevail The next
verse He said I will give that same church what?
The keys of where? of the kingdom of where? of
heaven the authority of the believer is not to
be exercised outside the church in isolation
apart from the church no no no no all of us the
way God has structured his family is that his
family is effective together praise God Me, I
don't like this chong chong. Every day Pastor
Victor will just be saying, why we are not seeing
you? Why we are not seeing you? Why we are not
seeing you? We are not seeing you. That is why
your life is the way it is. Let me say it as
it's coming to my heart. Fight whatever will
stop you from attending Christian meetings. Do
you know what I said? Do what? Fight it. There's
something we say, tooth and nail. Right is just
like a saying tooth and nail which means go extra
mile to resist Whatever will keep you in your
room and tell you never come to church Hallelujah
You know when I was in the university My first
year I didn't start well academically and we
got into the university thinking because they
say we are smart in high school in secondary
school Will be smart in the university just like
that you go to class you know and just do magic
that you have done before you know what happened
to samson they caught his hair lock when the
way he shake himself nothing happened that's
what happened to us in first year so we got into
the university thinking we'll just enter the
class enter the exam dust it and go no it didn't
work that way first year they dusted us god delivered
us from carryover you know here we have makeup
make down make side you make everything there
there is no makeup first semester will add one
year to you one course will add one year automatically
and the way they do it in faculty of medicine
there will be a list for passes so if your name
is not on the pass list just know you are with
the masses so everybody i god please let me just
let me just be on the pass list please lord i
will not repeat it again God delivered me also
on the past lease with what 2 .97 87097 I Say
no, no, no, no, no, we cannot continue to be
able to continue this way. You see we 2 .97.
You are far from first class again No more first
class. So now it has to be what 2 1 2 2 no 2
2 cannot measure to our IQ. It's a full of pride
We started sleeping in the class. I slept in
the class. He knows our university I slept in
sea never dry till my last semester of graduation
out of the university Just to ensure I get into
what into to one I'm going somewhere I Will go
to the room clean up my space is already known
in the class where I sit then to the class, drop
my bag, then to church, then back to class, back
to my room, lecture hall, back to class, to the
church, and that's how the life is. So there
are times that I would just feel, don't go to
church. This happens to, okay, now if you have
grown, it has not happened to you again. But
if you are here, when you are growing, it happened
to you. It happened to everybody. You say no,
no, don't go to church today. Don't go to the
exams is too much Don't go to church. You see
if you go to church, you're gonna fail. You're
gonna fail I say ah, no, I will not I will not
know but you know then I'll just get this nudging.
You have to be in charge today I will struggle
mind you the trust provides a bus system to take
us I'll say no, no, no, no, no, and then I will
do my best and now arrive in the church. Guess
what? you see that church that I eventually came
something will happen in the service and I will
say if I'd missed today that will have been one
of the worst times of my life because that day
God will answer a lot of questions bring so much
direction to me so much is in one of those services
that I learned that a believer can pray in tongues
and interpret the tongues One of those services
that I struggled, I dragged myself and I came
there, right? It's in one of the services the
pastor said, do you know that you can interpret
your tongues? I said, how? Do you know from that
service, I didn't go back to class, I went to
basketball court. He knows the place. The first
day is not making sense or it didn't make sense.
So I left, I'm like this interpretation is not
coming. But I'll go back to next service on Sunday.
Pastor emphasize it more. I said but I know one
amazing thing Pastor Pastor Tende you just come
I perceive in my heart that God this morning
is doing this he told you this he did this he
did that and he's bringing this to you and I'll
see one sister somewhere yeah yeah I said this
is working he will call ten people sir he will
give them word by the spirit so accurate and
so precise The Holy Spirit was tearing up something
you see provoke one another right that thing
was doing something I said this thing is working.
Let me go back I'll go back to basketball court
and pray and pray one of these days as I'm praying
raka palada from nowhere and knowing came That
these are the things you are praying for you
know from know I just got to feel joy joy one
of these days you know i was praying in one of
the areas you know so from nowhere a knowing
came that god has sent angels to minister strength
to me i know what i'm saying from you see i'm
saying it because i've not forgotten those experiences
believers meetings are meetings where you build
supernatural experiences from the holy ghost
you can never never forget how god encountered
you Certain questions, certain things that disturb
your life too much is from the meetings. Many
of us, from catatismos, something changed. An
experience came, a fantasy came, a knowing came.
Your eyes, your hearing, the spirit of wisdom
and revelation came through those meetings. Prophets.
You see in the Holy Ghost? that dwells in our
inside God let me put it this way God has put
in the believer a profiting system eternally
inside you is a profiting what? system of the
Holy Ghost Do you know I feel weak sometimes
to pray I'll just In my heart I'll just hear
leave the office leave the office workout leave
the office wherever you sit here students will
come and they stop leave the office and just
space around for 30 minutes I will start it mechanically
against how I feel But the time I'm into 10 20
minutes 30 minutes I believe this is the reason
why I want you to pray more. Pray, pray, pray,
pray, pray. You know, I will pray more and before
you know it, so much strength has come that you
don't feel like going back. Those fervencies
and those things didn't come in my office or
in the room. It's from where? From these meetings.
Hallelujah. Say this morning, this morning, I
will say things that I've never said before by
the Spirit of the Lord. I will have experiences
that I've never had before by the Spirit of the
Lord. I will receive directions from my family
that I've never received before. I will receive
instructions from my friends that I've never
received before by the Spirit of the Lord. Hallelujah!
Let's write these references and we enter practicals
now. 1st Corinthians 12 verse 1 Matthew chapter
22 verse 29 Why we are doing this that I will
not have you what? Ignorant. 1st Corinthians
12 is now concerning the spirituals. Brethren,
I will not have you what? Ignorant. We are going
over this so that we will not be ignorant of
what is going to happen here. Amen. Please if
you are here this morning and today is your first
time joining us, right? believers meetings are
meetings where majority of the people in that
atmosphere are believers we're gonna have few
people that are not saved amen and few people
that don't understand what is happening in that
meeting hallelujah and if you are here and you
are not saved or you are here you're from another
place or you are invited by a friend and what
we are gonna do in the next few minutes seem
kind of new to you is not strange I'm not I can't
use the word strange it's just new to you amen
because that's the lifestyle of the believer
is new to you let me just encourage you just
participate hallelujah just do what participate
you see in believers meetings certain things
and many of the things that are going to be happening
are illogical are going to be illogical to you
it will not make sense to you let me say it this
way the holy spirit will go ahead of us hallelujah
certain things certain words certain instructions
you're going to receive are worse ahead of you
you are the one that are going to catch up with
it Praise God. So as we divide ourselves to pray
certain things are gonna happen that will be
illogical to you because you have Now how can
you explain? Pastor Imai is giving a word to
me and the word he is giving to me is a discussion
I've had with my wife in the house and I've not
shared it with him. Is that not illogical? Hallelujah,
but because I know he has the Spirit of God and
God is bringing those words to profit me I will
receive them with thanksgiving and joy hallelujah
and then Subsequently the understanding will
begin to come Interpretations will come Clarity
will come you see from those meetings my wife
and I will have a direction to have through The
instructions that Holy Spirit are giving through
him So these meetings may not make sense to you
now, but do what? Participate and receive from
them with joy and thanksgiving hallelujah Praise
God. Hallelujah. Praise God. Good so now Have
you written that Say I have the spirit of God
and the temple of the Holy Spirit and the temple
of the Holy Spirit the Holy Spirit walks through
me and the Holy Spirit walks in me for the benefit
of the local church for the benefit of my brother
first Corinthians chapter 3 verse 16 first Corinthians
chapter 3 verse 16 Romans chapter 10 verse 9
to 10 Holy Spirit help us this morning first
Corinthians 3 16 Romans chapter 10 verse 9 to
10 Romans chapter 8 verse 9 hallelujah hallelujah
say we are not let me say the way i wrote it
here we did not first become the temple of the
holy ghost for the spirit to dwell in but rather
we are the temple of the holy ghost because he
dwells in us do you hear what i just said we
did not first become the temple of the holy spirit
for him to do what to dwell, but we are the temple
of the Holy Ghost because the Holy Spirit does
what? Dwells in us. So in 1 Corinthians chapter
3 verse 16, Romans chapter 10 verse 9 to 10,
Romans chapter 8 verse 9, you will see those
realities there. 1 Corinthians 6 11, add that.
You will see those realities that the believer
is the man that indwells the Holy Spirit or the
Holy Spirit indwells that man called the believer
Because now the indwelling of the Spirit of God
in the believer makes the believer the temple
of the Holy Ghost Hallelujah, praise God Hallelujah
So why do we come together as believers in a
meeting? Why? Why do we come together as believers
in a meeting? Why do we come together? Number
one, we come together to minister one to another.
We come together to provoke one another, to minister
one to another. 1 Corinthians 14 verse 26. You
can write these scriptures and then when we come
we're going to build on them. Why do we come
together as believers? To do what? To minister
one to another. 1 Corinthians 14 26 Ephesians
chapter 5 verse 18 to 19 Colossians chapter 3
verse 16 Are we there? Acts chapter 2 Acts chapter
2 Can we pray in the Holy Ghost for two minutes
everybody? Can we pray in the Holy Ghost? Can
we pray in the Holy Ghost? Acts chapter 2, give
me Acts chapter 2 verse 1. Can we pray in the
Holy Ghost everybody? foreign foreign I am I
am I am Thank you, Jesus. In Jesus' name. So
all the scriptures that we have written, we come
together to minister one to another, number one,
in psalms, in hymns, spiritual songs in Psalms
in hymns and spiritual songs in Psalms hymns
and spiritual songs Holy Spirit we come together
to exhort one another You see that what says
to minister what? One to another. That means
that everybody is participating. Hmm. Hallelujah.
Everybody is what? Everybody is what? Is participating.
So if I say brocolade, even if an instruction
is given, can we minister to one another? It
means that he is not only the one that will do
what? Minister to me, but also what? Minister
to him. Hallelujah. So there is a giving and
there is a receiving. Have you ever seen how
does the scripture say iron sharpened what? Iron.
Have you practicalized that in your house? Not
long ago, I bought a knife sharpener. All the
while I used stone. But you see I realized stone
does not sharpen iron well. Hey. Iron has to
sharpen iron. This thing is there in the nature.
I got just here i bought the iron you know as
i just sharpened the knife it were like where
was i all this while hallelujah you see when
we minister one to another we leave each other
edified praise god we leave each other built
up we leave each other stirred up we leave each
other strengthened more why because every one
of us we are participating Praise God. So which
means that I position myself that I receive for
Pastor Emma Likewise, Pastor Victor is positioning
himself in the things of the spirit to also was
receive instruction to minister to me Hallelujah
say I will not left behind this morning. I Will
not be left behind this morning. I mean is that
to everybody in this local church by the spirit
of the Lord Hallelujah Lastly right this now
In believers meetings we will write these items
and then we rise to our feet now in believers
meeting or in a Holy Ghost meeting Number one
one of the things that we see is that the Word
of God is giving the first place In believers
meeting the Word of God is what is giving the
what? The first place is giving the first place
and there's a reason for that Why do we do that?
Because whatever we see whatever we hear must
be validated by what? By the word Hallelujah
All the experiences we're gonna have here must
be judged by God's word Amen Everything that
will happen this morning in the next one minute
will be on the what? Will be building on the
words. No spiritual experience, no supernatural
experience is void and should be void of God's
Word. Acts chapter 2 verse 42 to 43, write this
down. Acts chapter 2 verse 42 to 43 verse 47.
Acts chapter 10 verse 34 to 46 Acts chapter 14
verse 1 to 3 Acts chapter 14 verse 1 to 3 Acts
chapter 7 Acts chapter 14 verse 7 to 10 14 1
to 3 14 7 to 10 Acts chapter 19 verse 9 to 11
Why is the word given its place? Because we need
knowledge. Knowledge of these things. Knowledge
of the... You see, first half, first Corinthians
chapter 12, Paul will tell them, I will not have
you what? Ignorant, because he wants to bring
into their understanding the things concerning
spirituals. Ephesians 1, 16 to 21. Don't worry,
we're going to read these scriptures. Ephesians
3, 16 to 21. Ephesians 1 16 to 21 Ephesians 3
16 to 21 Philippians chapter 1 verse 9 to 11
worship you with all my heart with all my heart
Colossians 1 9 to 11 Colossians 1, 9 to 11. Number
two, when we meet, what happens? We give the

the Holy Ghost free room for what? To demonstrate
himself through us. So how is the Holy Ghost
demonstrating himself? 2A. The Holy Ghost demonstrates
himself in utterances. 2A. We give room for the
