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. This morning I got to the office and
then a thought of one woman came into my heart.
And I sent her a voice note. So I sent her the
voice note. And I told her, sorry, I've not been
able to reach out because of this and this and
this. How are you doing? How is your family,
your husband and children? You know? And I said,
by the way, the last week I was trying to reach
out to you so that if you are around, we could
see what's the updates regarding your work. So
she sent a feedback, a voice note to me, giving
me the feedback about the walk and ETC. So I
now sent a voice note to her. It was a word of
knowledge, hallelujah, and a word of wisdom joined
together. And I sent a voice note to her, and
I told her, this is what I feel regarding this,
this, this, this, this, this. But, you know,
if you can go this way and this way and this
way, You know, you can be able to have this and
this and this and this and this. And I came home
and she sent a voice note. So when I sent the
voice note to her, she was on her way to see
her boss. And so the voice note I sent to her
was already what the boss has made as the solution
to the decision she should make. Amen? She went
there and they told her all the updates she needed
to know. And they gave her one week to make decision
about it. Amen. So she sent me the feedback and
I told her it's okay, no problem. Later in the
evening, I'm going to call her. Praise God. And
we will talk about it. Amen. And we believe that
the Holy Spirit will give her direction from
it. Praise God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. So there
was no way on earth, humanly possible, that I
would be able to know that. Never. In fact, she's
not even supposed to come into my thought patterns.
I should be thinking about my wife. And then
the job I'm doing. The bulky work they've given
me in the office. Those should be what should
be consuming my head. Hallelujah. I just answered
someone's question now. Oftentimes, the Spirit
of God brings people to your heart. Randomly.
Not that you spoke, not that you thought about
them. He just brings their names to you sometimes.
Sometimes he flashes their faces to you. Amen.
When that experience happens to you, and you
cannot yet find more instruction to why the names
are coming, please, let me counsel you by the
Spirit of God. Start praying for them. Do you
hear what I just said? Start what? Start praying
for them. Hallelujah. When names come to your
heart, when people come to your heart, when places
come to your heart, start what? Praying for them.
Praise God. Hallelujah. Good. Where did we get
there? I don't know. So from believers meeting,
right? I'll just say this. We don't need to write
this. Just hear me. From believers meeting and
from this meeting, hallelujah, from now until
cataclysmos, we are going to have people full
of joy in all the services. Hallelujah. Glory
to God. We will have people that suddenly will
just get themselves into prayers and prayers
and prayers and prayers and prayers into the
next day. Hallelujah. We will have people that
will just have burdens, desires for the demonstration
of the things of the Spirit. We will have people
that through their hands, healing miracles are
happening. Hallelujah. We will have people suddenly
just stuck in one place and they are having visions
and then trances by the Spirit of God. Hallelujah.
We will have people get into places and then
pray for people and baptism of the Holy Ghost
will come instantly upon them with evidence of
speaking in tongues. Hallelujah. Praise God.
That is why we are having these meetings that
we are having. Our brother said something. He
said often when the supernatural happens, you
can never in any point connect it to the natural.
Hallelujah. You will know that this is indeed
a walking of the spirit of God. Amen. Praise
God. So today. Today, by God's grace, we are
handling something. Believers' meetings are meetings
for speaking believers. You can write this down
now. That's what we're treating today. And then
before we get into what we'll get. Believers'
meetings, Holy Ghost meetings, are meetings for
speaking believers. Believers' meetings... and
meetings for what? For speaking believers. Believers
are ought to use their tongue. Hallelujah. Praise
God. You remember on Sunday we wrote something
that the Holy Ghost demonstrated himself in what?
Number one, in what? In utterances. So today's
meeting, We are writing a subtopic that believers
meetings are meetings for what? For speaking
what? Believers. Can you say believers meeting?
Believers meetings are meetings for me to speak.
Are meetings for me to declare the mind of God,
the will of God, the purposes of God that the
local church is edified. Glory to God. Hallelujah.
So we say the Holy Ghost in believers' meetings
demonstrates himself in utterances. And when
we say in utterances, we mean that things are
going to be said under the inspiration of the
Holy Ghost. Let me repeat myself. When we say
the Holy Spirit will demonstrate himself in utterances,
we mean that these words are going to be what?
Set under the inspiration of who? Of the Holy
Ghost. You see, we didn't say they are going
to be set by the believer. We said they are going
to be set under the what? Inspiration of who?
Of the Holy Ghost. What do we mean by that? We
mean that the Holy Ghost will be speaking through
believers in such a meeting. Praise God. We mean
that the Holy Ghost will be what? Will be speaking
through who? Through the believers. So who will
be inspired to speak? Who will be inspired to
speak? No, no, say I. Who will be inspired to
speak? So who has the choice to speak? Who will
act on His will to speak? I, the believer. Hallelujah.
So in Holy Ghost meeting, the Spirit of God is
speaking and you are the one that He is speaking
through. Amen? Hallelujah. Let me repeat myself
again. In believer's meeting, the Spirit of God
is what? Is speaking, but He is speaking through
who? He is speaking through me. Why? Because
the Spirit of God dwells where? In the inside
of me. Our brother says something. Often when
God will speak with the prophets, they are not
doubting whether it's the voice of God or not
the what? The voice of God. He will speak with
Moses as unto face to face what? Communication.
Praise God. But today, he does not need to speak
from the heavens again. He speaks from where?
He speaks from where? From my inside. Hallelujah.
Can you say, I have a hearing ear by the Spirit
of God. I have a seeing eye by the Spirit of
God. I have a perceiving heart by the Spirit
of God. Can we turn that to prayers in two minutes,
everybody? Can we turn that to prayers? Because
the things we are doing in the next minutes will
require us to pay attention to hear. It will
require us to pay attention to see. It will require
us to pay attention to perceive. Can you pray
for yourself? I have a hearing ear by the Spirit.
I have a seeing eye by the Spirit of God. I have
a perceiving heart by the Spirit of God. Oh,
thank you, Holy Ghost. Thank you, Jesus. In Jesus'
name we pray. So, when we say the Spirit of God
demonstrates Himself in utterance, we mean He
demonstrates Himself in tongues. Please write
this down. He demonstrates Himself in what? In
tongues. In tongues and interpretation of tongues.
He demonstrated himself in tongues. Tongues and
interpretation of tongues. And then in prophecy.
That's what we had in the utterance gifts. Amen.
In tongues. Tongues and interpretation of tongues.
And in what? And in prophecy. Hallelujah. Praise
God. Amen. 1 Corinthians chapter 12 from verse
7. Let's run this and then we pray for one another
and minister one to another. 1 Corinthians chapter
12 from verse 7. But the manifestation of the
Spirit is what? Is given to every man to profit
with all. Hallelujah. The manifestation of the
Spirit is given to me to do what? To bring profit
to Pastor Victor. To bring profit to Pastor Emmanuel.
To bring profit to Pastor Takunda. The manifestation.
Hallelujah. So, prophecy is to what? Profit.
Tongues and interpretation of tongues is to what?
Profit. So, when the Spirit of God speaks through
me, it's because He wants to bring what? Profit.
You remember we read in Hebrews chapter 10, right?
That we provoke one another unto what? On to
love and what? And good works. Please, sir. When
I say I've done a business and then I've gained
from the business and I come to share the profit
from you, with you, what do you think I'm trying
to do? Huh? Okay, I'm pointing you to the business.
Yes, sir. What again? Please, help me. Yes? Yes,
mommy? Okay, mommy say I'm blessing her. Okay,
good. That is a long route now. What is that
I am blessing you called? Huh? I am... In Nigeria,
there is something that we use. Just show me
some love. You know, when you hear... Pastor
Victor, please, show me some love. Do you know
what that means? I will not say the people that
always use that kind of statement. Amen? When
I come and share profits with Pastor Emmanuel
from a business that I've done, right? And I
call his line. I say, how far? Don't use this
thing though. It's only us that use it. And I
say, Emi. I say, Emi, how far? Where are you
there? He said, I just came, I said, please branch,
branch CIU. I said, why Allah don't show like
that? And the Allah, let me say this, because
it makes sense to you. And the Allah, some little
profit of $500 ,000. And I'm just led in my heart
to just, you know, show you some love. Give you
like, let's say, $200 ,000. And you see, Pastor,
I might just do like this. Do you think Pastor
Emma will think I hate him that's why I'm doing
that? Let me tell you. If you want, the whole
of you should gather and advise him that I will
soon kill him. He will say, let me what? Kill
him. How about with the things of the spirit?
Do you know that God, from his knowledge, from
his wisdom, from his mind, that he can bring
an instruction from Pastor Victor to me that
no money on this earth can be able to provide
it. That he can provide help. that no man on
this earth can be able to what? Provide unto
me. When we gather, we are not only provoking
one another, but we are speaking life unto life
to each other. We are bringing God's mind to
each other. We are bringing instruction. We are
bringing clarity. We are bringing light. We are
bringing strength to one another. So much so
that when we leave this place, we are not only
leaping and jumping and full of joy, but we are
living to come back again. Why? We know that
our brethren are always profiting us. That is
what the manifestation does. That every day,
I need my brothers. I want to profit them. I
want to walk in love towards them. That word
profiting is that I am walking in love. What?
Towards them. Hallelujah. Let's quickly finish
the verse now. See what it says. For to one is
given by the Spirit the word of wisdom, to another
the word of knowledge by the same Spirit, to
another faith by the same Spirit, to another
the gifts of healing by the same Spirit, to another
the working of miracles, to another prophecy,
to another design of Spirit, to another diverse
kinds of what? Tongues, to another interpretation
of what? Tongues. But all these worketh that
one and the self same Spirit, dividing to what?
Every man severally as what? As he wills. So
when believers gather and God is speaking, God
is bringing his mind, God is bringing instructions,
right? It's because there is something that should
happen in that atmosphere. From the Old Testament
to the New Testament, you will see laid down
experiences. Of God speaking with men. Hallelujah.
Bringing his counsel. Bringing instructions everywhere.
Literally across the scriptures. Write Exodus
chapter 19. Verse 17. You could help us very
fast. Let's just read. And I will give us extra
references. Exodus chapter 19. Verse 17. And
Moses brought forth the people out of the camp
to meet with who? To meet with who? And NECF
gathered together, right? To meet with God, with
one another. See now. And they stood, what? At
the nether part of what? Of the mount. Next verse.
And Mount Sinai was all together in smoke because
the Lord did what? descended upon it in fire,
and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of
a furnace, and the whole mount quaked what? Greatly.
He gathered the people to meet with who? Because
God was about saying something. Hallelujah. Deuteronomy
chapter 4 verse 10. Deuteronomy chapter 4 verse
10. Deuteronomy chapter 4 verse 10. Especially
the day that thou stoodest before the Lord, thy
God in Horeb, when the Lord said what? When the
Lord said what? Unto me, gather me the people
what? Together, and I will make them do what?
And I will make them do what? Fear my words,
that they may learn to fear me all the days that
they shall live upon the earth. And that they
may teach their who? They are children. Deuteronomy

just write these extra references. Deuteronomy

what we see here. The demonstration of the things
of the Spirit in believers' meetings. Please,
let's listen from this place now. The demonstration
of the things of the Spirit in believers' meetings
take precedence from speakings. Do you hear what
I said? The manifestation of the things of the
Spirit take place via what? Via speaking in believers'
meetings. They take precedence by speaking. The
manifestation of the things of the Spirit, they
happen in believers meeting by what? By speaking.
And when we say speaking, we mean we are taking
advantage of our what? Our tongue. Hallelujah.
One of the things I got this afternoon as a product
of meditating on this message. Is that when things
go bad in your life, before you complain about
the bad things, say God's word over the things
first. Do you hear what I just said? That's a
word for somebody now. When things go bad around
you or in your life or in the life of people
around you, before you begin to complain about
them, say what God's word says about the things
first. Hallelujah. What I'm saying in essence
is learn to use your tongue to speak life over
things. Because the things that you will see,
the manifestation of the power of the Holy Ghost
cannot be seen in your life and in the things
around you if you don't learn to use your tongue
by faith speaking words. By speaking faith -filled
words over them. My head, oh, this cancer. Cyprus
will kill me. My father will die. My mother will
die. My brother, see, my head is blocked. Your
head will continue to be blocked. Nigeria is
hard. No, Nigeria is not hard for me. Timibu
will kill us. He will kill you. Everybody will
be living. You will be dead. I'm telling you
this. You see, let me tell you something. The
believer is a man that does not use his words
mindlessly. One of our pastors who said this,
imagine you come to this sister and you said
your big head and the head starts growing big.
What will you say next? Somebody says, you say
Jesus. What would you say? You use the word to
say it. What would you say? What would you say?
Heads grow small again. Understand that when
it comes to the things of the Spirit, what we
see take precedence from what? From speaking.
Hallelujah. 1 Corinthians 12 verse 3. Yeah. 1
Corinthians 12 verse 3. Let's read it slowly.
Amen. Everybody. Wherefore, I give to you to
what? Let's read it slowly. That no man keep
him quiet by the Spirit of God. Thinking by the
Spirit of God. Looking by the Spirit of God.
Sleeping by the Spirit of God. No man what? So
the Spirit of God has been given to the believer
to do what? To speak. Hallelujah. I have the
Spirit of God to what? To speak. God has given
me his spirit to what? To speak. To speak what?
That's the question. He has given me his spirit
to speak what? To speak life. To speak his mind.
To speak his will. To speak his purposes. Are
you writing what I just said now? God has given
me his spirit to speak what? To speak his mind,
to speak his will, to speak his purposes. So
if God gave me his spirit to speak his mind,
his will, his purposes, then when I'm in a Holy
Ghost meeting, I ought to be what? Speaking.
I ought to be what? Speaking. Today is a meeting
for speaking believers. 2 Peter 1, verse 20.
We know this now in this church, this verse.
2 Peter 1, verse 20, 21. Knowing this verse,
that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private
what? Interpretation. For the prophecy came not
in all time by the will of man, but the holy
men of God speak as they were moved by what?
By the Holy Ghost. We say in speaking meetings,
in Holy Ghost meetings, we are speaking believers.
The Spirit of God is giving room to demonstrate
in what? Autorities. What are the autorities?
Tongues. Yes. Interpretation of tongues. What
again? Prophecy. So we see that in Old Testament,
Luke chapter 24, where we often read, right?
Luke chapter 24, verse 25 to 27. Beginning at
Moses and all the prophets, they spoke because
the Spirit of God did what unto them? Moved them.
Hallelujah. They prophesy that Christ will come,
Christ will be crucified, Christ will die, He
will suffer, right? He will be raised from the
dead and He will enter into His glory. How did
they know it? They were moved by what? The Spirit
of God. I just said something now. So which means,
in a Holy Ghost meeting, the Spirit of God now
does not come upon us to move us. Do you know
what I just said? The Spirit of God speaks with
us right from within us. So we don't need a movement
again. Hallelujah. You know, as you are sitting
like this, the Spirit of God can give you words
now for this sister. Hallelujah. Words that you
have never said before by the Spirit of God.
Things that you have never seen before. By what?
By the Spirit of God. And we will see it in the
next few minutes. Hallelujah. Amen. 1 Peter.
Write this as an extra verse. 1 Peter 1 verse
10 to 11. 1 Peter chapter 1 verse 10 to 11. So
when you see the walk of the Spirit of God throughout
the Old Testament, you will see him speaking
through prophets, through kings. Hallelujah.
And it didn't just stop there. We see that expressly
with the apostles. Amen. In the epistles, we
see his walkings littered everywhere. I wrote
a couple of scriptures here so that we can be
able to take them as references. Acts chapter
2 verse 4. Acts chapter 2 verse 4. Our brother
spoke to us about it. You know. That the room
was filled with the spirit of God. Can you give
us Acts chapter 2? And they were all what? Let's
read it together. And they were. And they began
to sleep. And they began to think. And they began
to wonder. What did they begin to do? And they
began to, as the Holy Ghost gave them, utterance.
Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
Can you say this? I'm in a meeting. I'm in a
meeting of believers. The Holy Ghost is giving
me utterance. And I'm speaking right now. He's
giving me utterance. And I'm speaking right now.
He's giving instructions and I'm speaking right
now. He's bringing direction and I'm speaking
right now. He's bringing healing and I'm speaking
right now. He said these signs shall follow them
in my name. They shall speak in what? In new
tongues. Tongues have never been experienced
on the earth prior to the coming of the Holy
Ghost. There was no man on the earth that ever
spoke in tongues until the Holy Ghost came. After
the resurrection, new things came with the resurrection.
One of the new things that came with the resurrection
is what? Speaking in tongues and interpreting
those tongues. Hallelujah. This sign shall follow
them. He said, my name. They shall cast out what?
Devils. They will lay hands on the sick and the
sick will do what? Those experiences are believer
supernatural experiences. Lastly, and we begin
to minister one to another. Have you written
Acts chapter 2 verse 4? Acts chapter 4 verse
8. Acts chapter 4 verse 8. 4 verse 31. Perfect.
4 verse 31. 6 verse 10. 6 verse 10. 8 verse 21.
Verse 29. 8 verse 29. Acts chapter 2 verse 4.
4 verse 8. 4 verse 31. 6 verse 10. 8 verse 29.
Please, can you give us 13 verse 2? Acts chapter
13 verse 2. Whilst they give us Acts chapter
13 verse 2, add this 20 verse 22 to 23. Acts
chapter 20 verse 22 to 23. And then add 21 verse
11. Glory to God. Glory to God. Glory to God.
Glory to God. Glory to God. Acts chapter 13 verse
2. You see, I'm keeping it. As they ministered
to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Ghost kept silent.
What did the Holy Ghost do? The Holy Ghost what?
How did you think the Holy Ghost said? How did
you think the Holy Ghost said? So that believer,
do you think that believer will be among them
or the believer will be a stranger from outside?
He will be among and what did the Holy Ghost
say? Separate me what? Prior to now. Did they
know anything about Paul and Barnabas going for
work of ministry? How did Paul and Barnabas Were
identified to be sent for work of ministry. Through
believers what? Meeting. And so for the work
where unto I have worked. I have called them.
Let me say it this way so that we can smile.
The Holy Ghost had to smidge on them. Amen. Yes
prior to now they never knew that there was a
work. And let me say it so that we can laugh
again. The Holy Spirit is about snitching on
somebody here. You know, there was a meeting
we had, sir. You remember? One of the pastors
gave a word to someone. And the lady went and
said that somebody gossiped to the pastors. Can
you imagine? And he said that by the Spirit of
God. She said, these pastors, In Catholicism,
one of the Catholicism. You know those groups
that we say pastors should minister. He gave
her a word and she said they went and snitched
her to the pastors. Sorry, there are certain
things if nobody snitched you to us, the spirit
of God will snitch you to us. Hallelujah. Praise
God. Say the spirit of God. God has given me
his spirit. God has given me spirit to speak
for his mind, to speak for his will, to speak
for his purposes, to bring instructions, to bring
direction, to bring healing, to bring strength,
to bring comfort, to bring solution to my brothers,
to the local church, to everyone around me. Can
we pray in the Holy Ghost? We appreciate you
being here today. We hope you carry this word
with you throughout your week. Don't forget to
