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. Acts chapter 2 verse 45. Let's just
finish that please. Their possessions. Let's
just see 44. And all that believed were together
and had all things what? Common. And sold their
possessions and goods and parted them to all
men as every man had what? Had need. As every
man had. As every man had what? And he divided
to every man severally as he. wheels right so
we are reading here saying that and then they
parted it to every man as he has what need also
who determine what comes to him let me reduce
this who determine what comes to him talk to
me everybody talk to me talk to me talk to me
thank you for that And they sold their possessions.
Let me reduce this to, it's too loud. And they
sold their possessions and goods and parted them
to all men as every man had need. So, who determines
what comes to him? And who determines the quantity
of what comes? Huh? Is it the need? Who? And
the need, yes, half, half, 50 over 100. Or 80
of 100? Who determine? Huh? Is it the giver?
The giver does not know who needs what. Right?
Yes, so the giver does not know who needs what.
So I have, I just have, you have it, I have it.
Right? And then she has it, she's having needs.
All of us are having needs. But then a couple
of people around are the ones that have some
possessions and then they sold all their belongings.
When they come to share the things so that everybody
is fully furnished, right? Who will determine
what gets what? The receiver. Amen? Because now
if you come, you understand? Because if you come,
you ask me, what and what do I need? Right? And
I'll say, I need this, two bags of rice, one
turkey oil, one this because me and my three
children, right? We have not eaten for this.
This is what we need. You just give me what I
need. So I determine what I receive. Is it clear?
You meet another person, the person, so which
means our needs. Right? The supply to our needs
is determined, right, upon the person that is
receiving the supply. Do we understand? Do we
understand this place? So every man had need.
So every man will receive based upon his what?
His need. Is it clear, everybody? Is it clear?
Is there confusion? We just ate. So I want to
see some ATP. Right? Yes, some adenosine triphosphate.
Right? Yes. Except maybe you want me to bring
up a Usta in medical biochemistry to come and
tell us how many hours the breakdown will be,
to what area it will go, how it will affect our
mouth and our response. Glory to Jesus. Acts
chapter 4 verse 35. Acts 4, verse 35. Acts 4,
verse 35. And laid them down at the what? At
the apostles' feet. Are we all there? Let's go
to 34. Help us go to 34. Let's read from verse
34 very fast. Neither was there anyone among
them that what? That lacked for as many As were
possessors of land or houses, did what? Sold
them. Right? And brought the prizes of things.
Right? 4 is Acts chapter 4. It's the same thing.
4 .34. It's almost the same event. And brought
the prizes of the things that were what? That
were sold. 35 now. And laid them at what? at
the apostles feet and distribution was made unto
every man according to the people that sold the
possession. Is that what he's saying? And distribution
was made according, is that what he's saying?
How is the distribution done? According to what?
As he had what? So who determines what is received
during distribution? The man that has what? That
has need. Do you know why? Because the receiver,
the giver, has already sold the possession and
has given. He has given all. So he is no longer
in charge of what goes to who. Do you understand?
Is that clear enough? So the giver has sold his
land, has sold his possession. He is no more
concerned about who gets what. Who gets what
is determined on who has need of what. Do we
understand? Do we understand everybody? Perfect.
So now, John 6, 11. So we understand the two
references we've had now so far, right? Do we
understand? It was divided to every man as he
had had need. Right? Because we have a receiver
and a what? And a giver. So, the function of
the giver is to give unconditionally. He is not
in charge also of what? Determining what you
what? What you receive. The receiver determines
what he gets. You are the one. Glory to Jesus.
Good. So, John chapter 6, everybody. Because
that's the last part of this part. John 6, 11.
John 6, 11. Good. And Jesus took the loaves,
and when he had given thanks, he did what? He
distributed to the disciples, and the disciples
to them that were what? Were set down. And likewise
of the fishes, as much as they what? They wooed.
Okay, take it back, sir. ESV. Jesus then took
the loaves and when he had given thanks, he distributed
to those that were what? As much as they who
wanted it. Is it the disciples that wanted it
or the people that are receiving from the distribution?
Because already the loaves and the fishes are
already made available. Glory to Jesus. Is it
clear? Is it clear everybody? Is it clear, everybody?
That is the man that is receiving the determines
and not the giver because the giver has already
what? Has already given. Amen? So, having said
that now, everybody, let's go to 1 Corinthians
12. 1 Corinthians 12. Everybody, let's go back
there. Verse 11 now. But all this, what does
he mean by all this? The ones that we mentioned
before, earlier, right? Word of knowledge, word
of wisdom, right? Working of miracles, gift of
faith, tongues, interpretation of tongues, from
8 to 10, all this. Right? Work it. We take the
word work it. Energeo. Right? Something that
is effective. Something that is working, active.
Right? Energema. Right? That's true what? One
and self, same what? So, same spirit, the Holy
Ghost. Right? Working all this. Glory to Jesus.
How is he doing it? He said, He is dividing.
We check dividing, right? We check dividing.
Yes or no? Yes or true? Yes, it's there. We check
dividing. To every man severally as what? As
he will. Amplify. Say all these things, the gifts
are brought about by one and the same what? Holy
Spirit. Distributing to each one individually
as he what? As he wills. So who wills. During
the distribution. Who wills now. Please. Next.
I will have said no lunch tomorrow. Maybe that
will now make us more active. You know they say.
Where hunger makes you active. You will just
be restless. Who wills. During the distribution.
The receiver. Why? Because the giver has already
given unconditionally. What did we say about
that giving unconditionally? Check your notes.
Without condition. Didomai. He has already given
without condition. What has he given? He has
given an ability, a charisma. And he didn't give
some, he didn't give two, he didn't give three.
The scripture says he gave us all. And because
he has given all, he expects that the believer
has received all. The believer has lambano, how
many? All. So he that wills, when it comes to
the things of the spirit, his willing is to the
end that he receives what? All and not a few.
Glory to Jesus. When I come and tell you, I have
this, this, this, this, this, this and that and
all I am giving you. Right? You have a will to
choose whether you are taking two out of it.
Amen? Or you are taking how many? You want to
take all of it and maximize it. So now, when
you only see the manifestation of prophecy, prophecy,
prophecy, catatismus one, prophecy. Two, prophecy.
Three, prophecy. Four, prophecy. Five, prophecy.
Six, prophecy. They say, what of knowledge? Ah,
we have not yet got there. What of wisdom? Ah,
we are yet there, yet there. He said, what kind
of miracles? Ah, leave it for Brocris. Ah, you
know. Ah, by giving of faith. Ah, Pastor TK.
Ah, that one there, he finished giving of faith.
The challenge, is it with the Holy Ghost or with
you, the receiver? The receiver. Another thing
I will say is, and that is why the believer,
if you write this, write this always. See, I
am learning this thing also that I am about to
say. That is why the believer always ought to
will to see all the manifestation of the gifts
of the Holy Ghost. The believer ought to always
what? Will to see all the manifestation of the
gifts of what? Of the Holy Ghost. Don't be cold
on it. Don't be cold on it. Don't be cold on
it. Don't be cold on it. Don't be cold on it.
Don't be cold on it. Your desire ought to be
fervent. Your desire ought to be at the edge.
Your desire ought to be on fire. Always to see
all the manifestation of what? Of the gifts of
the Holy Ghost. desire to see more tongues and
interpretation of tongues. More tongues. More
tongues. More tongues. More tongues. More tongues.
More tongues. More tongues. More tongues. Desire
to see more word of knowledge. More word of knowledge.
More word of knowledge. Remember I say, it's
given to every believer to profit what? To profit
with all. Desire that you're going to bring more
advantage. More. More. More. More. More word
of wisdom. More word of wisdom. We get into a
place, you know, When you hear too many things
and then you stay on them, they affect your faith
in seeing signs and wonders. They'll say, oh,
you know, actually, walking of miracles is only,
you know, special for some selected few. Now
what? What condition did they meet? Okay, let
me say it this way. If they've made a condition
and then they have happened to be the selected
few, you're also the believer. Meet the condition.
However, there is no condition for any selected
few. Hallelujah. We read it in John 14. That
in my Father's house, right, are many what? Are
many mansions. And I go to prepare what? A place
for you. That where also, when I go to my Father,
I will also come back unto you, right? And I
will receive you to myself. And where I am, that's
where you will be. Whatever. Let me ask us a
question. Do you think Jesus enjoyed all the
gifts of the Holy Ghost? Have you seen... Now,
aside tongues, I need a preacher of tongues.
Right? Because that's another discussion for
another day. Have you seen healing in Jesus'
ministry? How about word of knowledge? Word of
wisdom? Have you seen walking of miracles? Gifts
of faith. So if Jesus is standing there and you
are standing with him, what does he mean? You
have few or all? You have all. Because where
he is standing, that is where you are also what?
Standing. And he said, the works that I do, you
will also what? Do it. You will do it. I just
got a word now from somebody. Be bold. Be bold
by the Spirit of the Lord and get into places
and manifest all the gifts of the Holy Ghost.
You are not too small for it. You are not. I
desire to see miracles upon miracles. I'm trying
to remember the name. Somebody gave a story of...
Is it Robert Shula or something? Or Shambach?
One of them. He said, in his crusades, he went
and bought 1 ,000 wheelchairs. Not to fake miracles.
Sick people that cannot come to his meeting.
He gave free 1 ,000 wheelchairs. They should
bring them from different locations to come for
the meeting. So that they will receive what?
The healing power of the Holy Ghost. That desire
is to the roof. Have you ever watched and seen
healings and the hairs on your body rise? Tears
start flowing in your eyes? I watched a documentary
of A .A. Allen. The leg was like this. They brought
the guy, he cannot move. He didn't think it.
He did not think it. You know, I saw that. I
saw every faculty inside me rose. The guy said
he has not eaten for several weeks. He said,
is there anybody that has bread or snack or something
or drink? They said, you're going to eat today.
You're going to eat today. Lay that on him. The
guy finished the thing and finished the drink
and wanted more. If I was in that place. You
know, let me say something so that some people
can get stirred up. I'm in that atmosphere. You
know, they are holding another crusade somewhere.
Me, in my small area, I'll be looking for sick
people. Let me reduce the work for man of God.
Yes. Because it's happening there and I'm seeing
it. I'm seeing such manifestation. And the scripture
says it's for every believer. So which means
I'm not exempted. I'm not. That's what's happening.
That's what's happening. Hallelujah. So we are
not limited. We live here to our rooms. I said
a testimony here. We've been praying for someone
that had issue with the brain. You know, we spoke
of a recent. When the thing happened, even communication
called. Now his communication is clear. Memory
is coming back fully. What we are trusting God
for is that now, let writing come back fully.
You see, with healing, there are some that you're
going to see it happen instantly. There are some
you're going to see, One percent. Forget it.
It has started. Hallelujah. You know, we can
be in a meeting like this, pray for somebody
that is sick, and the person that will still
wheel the person out of this place, and tomorrow
morning you will see him back on his feet. I
will tell you, when I was a parking lot, I said,
if you allow me, I will stand up. And then the
person just stood up, and that's all. Manifestation
of the Holy Ghost. What am I saying in essence?
Will, will, will to see. Tongues and interpretation
of tongues. Will to see. Desire. That word there
is desire to see. That's what Paul is saying
to them. Glory to Jesus. Desire to what? To see.
Desire to see. So now. Are we all here now? So
far so good. Are we on the same page? So far
so good. Are we on the same page? Who has all
the gifts? Who has all of them? Do you need to
do 16 hours encounter to see them? Do we need
to fast 365 on quarter days to see them? When
do we need to see them? Imagine The disciples
came to beautiful gates, right? And then the
man was there. And then they look at him. And
then he say, silver and gold we do not have,
but give us 30 minutes back. And then they came,
enter into, because they were going at the hour
of prayer, you know? And they imagine and they
say, ah, we have not prayed too much this morning,
you know? Morning devotion, no day. You know,
last, yesterday, even the VG, we were sleeping
all through. So, to just quickly, Let's enter
and finish the hour of prayer, right? I just
got a word now for somebody. When you are encountered
with situations where the manifestation of the
gifts of the Holy Ghost need to be made manifest
through you, don't doubt it. Don't give conditions
for it. Because the more you give conditions
for it, the more you don't see them because unbelief
will come in. Imagine now they now run inside
at the hour of prayers because they want to sanctify
their power. Let me use that word. Right? And
then, you know, maybe that day, normally maybe
during the hour of prayer, they are just, they
are disciples now. They are apostles. They've
been with Jesus. They say, we've been with him.
We've seen him. So maybe let's assume they just
enter inside and then the person that will lead
prayers will just lead and then they will just
go out as just normal men. But that day, because
they want to sanctify the event that is outside,
they say, thanks. That day. Because the picture
that will be before them is the man at what?
Because when they come out, the man will ask
them, how far? Right? Silver and gold they have
not given him. They say they have something to
give him. So they went inside to get the thing
they have. They sweat. And then they come now.
They say, rise up and walk. The guy does not
walk. Rise up and walk. They drag him up. He
runs back. Let me say this. This is what Satan,
will do to the mind of believer whenever he thinks
it's his works that will make for the manifestation
of the gifts of the Holy Ghost. He will ensure
that whenever there is opportunity for you to
see the power of God in manifestation, to see
and hear, right? He will bring unbelief and condemn
you and begin to make you feel you are not fit
enough. To see this thing happen. There is somebody
that is sick for you to lay hands. He will make
you feel you have not prayed enough. You have
not fasted enough. You told a lie yesterday.
In fact, you are the worst of people to experience
this power. I bring good news to you. I bring
good news to you. That the spirit of God dwells
in you. In fact, let me tell you. You can eat
a bowl of food. And then heal the sick. I'm telling
you the truth. And that's why I'm saying let
your desire be on the edge. Glory to Jesus. Let
your desire what? Because the word I'm getting
is that because God is not only preparing you
for this place. God is preparing you for your
family. I see a couple of us. God is preparing
us and building us for what? For our family.
Through you, salvation will come to that home.
Through you, stability will come to that family.
Through you, all the members of your family will
get saved. Through you, you will see commitment
and consistency to the things of Jesus. Glory
to Jesus. So your desire must be on the edge.
Lambano on it. Take hold of it and maximize everything.
Everything. Is yours in Christ Jesus. So. Let's
rush over. Autoran's gifts. Autoran's gifts.
We are just going to. Autoran's gifts. They are
operation. Power gifts. They are operation. Revelational
gifts are what? They are operation. No matter
what happens, I must constrain myself. We must
take hold of what we have had so far and pray

few cataclysms, I don't know, two or three cataclysms
that we had in Yarmdoun. Then I used to go to
school and come back because of the work and
summer school. But I came back. Some people will
do it like this. That they prayed and prayed
and prayed and prayed and prayed. They said,
please, can we sit? I said, no, no, no, no, no.
Stand, stand. They prayed and prayed and prayed
and prayed and prayed. After the meeting, they
themselves were not only feeling, definitely
their body felt it, but they were transformed.
I remember I came back as I got into the place.
Everybody was praying. Everybody was praying.
There was this favo everywhere. That is it. I
will not have you what? Ignorant. These things
are all yours. Autorized gifts. Fast. Let's write
utterance, gifts, tongues, number one. Utterance,

do is we have this. Take it to like 40. Yes.
Or 30. So that we can pray 30 minutes first.
Introduction. Right? Yes. Please, when we say
we should pray in tongues, you know, some people,
based on what I know, except maybe I don't know,
based on what I know, everybody in this hall
prays in tongues. And if you're online, you don't
pray in tongues, right? Please send us a message.
We'll find a way how you pray in tongues, right?
But based on what I know, except maybe there
is another information, it's not... Has not gotten
to me. Everybody prays in tongues. Sometimes.
We said in the hall. When they say some people
should pray in tongues. They switch to French.
Everybody. So, they say, is everybody praying
in tongues around you? He said, yes, yes, yes,
yes, yes, yes. No. Please, when we say in the
Holy Ghost, pray in tongues. No English language.
There's a discipline we want to build. We have
something we experience. Amen? Glory to God.

revelational gifts word of knowledge word of
wisdom designing of spirits power gifts You know,
I told us when we had these teachings that they
were 101. Actually, we've been able to develop
the teaching more, right? However, because this
time will not allow us to have it. We'll just
practice more. Power gifts, gifts of healing,
working of miracles, gifts of faith. Power gifts,
gifts of healing, working of miracles, gifts
of faith. Someone may ask, how did we come by
this classification? This classification, or
we came by this classification based on their
operation. Right? How they function. That's how
this classification came. By their operation,
how they what? How they function. Authorans give
tongues, interpretation of tongues, prophecy.
And when we say authorans give, they are relating
to speaking. Right? Author. They are relating
to what? To speaking. Often I will say it, that
there are gifts that say something in or by the
Spirit. Authorized gifts are relating to speaking.
There are gifts, right, that say something in
or by the Spirit. Amen? Revelational gifts, there
are gifts, there are gifts that relate to perceiving
spiritual entities. or activities. Revelational
gifts are gifts that are relating to perceiving
what? Spiritual entities and activities. These

Hallelujah. When all trans gifts are in operation,
we see things are what? Are said. We hear things
that are what? That are said. Speakings. Revelational
gifts, when they are in operation, we can see
things by the Spirit. Not in the natural. All
these gifts, revelational, we will not see them
in the natural. You just get into a place, suddenly,
you know, you tell a brother, You see that particular
person? I see such a spirit. He's walking with
something. In fact, I perceive that he's walking
with the spirit of divination. Probably everybody
is around the person and cannot see it. Hallelujah.
Yes. Have you written that everybody? Have you
written that? yeah tongues now tongues everybody
so i said that these gifts we are separated or
classified this way based on their what operation
and what and function amen ah holy spirit let's
go to first corinthians chapter 14 first corinthians
chapter 14 everybody 1 Corinthians chapter 14.
Amen. Verse 1. Verse 2 now. He speaketh mysteries.
Mark 16, 15. Mark 16, 15. Everybody. Mark 16,
15. And he said unto them, Go ye into all the
world and preach the gospel to every creature.
Yes. He that believeth and is baptized shall
be what? Shall be saved. But he that believeth
not shall be what? Damned. Next verse. Everybody
let's read it together. One, two, go. And these
signs shall what? Shall follow them. Amen. That
what? So, what are the signs? In my name, they
shall what? They shall cast out devils. So, which
means casting out devils are signs, right, that
will follow the believer. Amen. Then now, they
shall speak with what? New tongues. So, new tongues,
right, is a sign for what? That follows the believer.
amen so let's just stop there so what are signs
write it that what signs means semion s -e -m
-e -i -o -n semion s -e -m -e -i -o -n it means
mark and this max or this mark shall follow them
that believe It means token. This token shall
follow them that believe. It means to indicate,
to signify, to make known, to make known, to
signify. Why signs? These signs to indicate,
to make known that a person is distinguished
from others. We say there are marks to make known,
to indicate, right? That a person is distinguished
from what? From others. So these signs shall
follow them that what? That belief. So these
marks are distinguishing them that what? That
belief. These tokens are distinguishing them
that what? That belief. Amen? Okay. Are we all
there? So 1 Corinthians 14 .2 now. So which means
they shall speak in new tongues. So which means
tongues are also signs to them that what? That
believe. So which means that when I see a believer,
one of the signs that I will know is common to
believers is that I will see them, they will
have what? They will manifest new tongues. Tongues,
right? Good. 1 Corinthians 14 .2 now. We say
for he that speaketh in an unknown tongue, speaketh
not unto men, but unto God. for no man understanding
him how be it in the spirit he speaketh what
mysteries the word tongue the word tongue means
glossa or lalia the word tongue right means what
glossa yes we have doctors here they will tell
you anatomical name right yeah the word tongue
means what glossa i'm just remembering my My
small anatomy knowledge. Right? Yes. Glossa means
what? Glossa means tongue or what? Or lalia.
Glossa, G -L -O -S -S -A. Lalia, L -A -L -E -A.
Which means language. Dialect. Right? Language.
Dialect. Used in speaking, in talking or uttering
words. So we now say, for he that speaketh in
an unknown tongue speaketh not unto what? Not
unto men. He that speaketh in a language. A supernatural
ability called tongue speaketh not unto men,
but unto who? But unto God. How be it in the
spirit he speaketh what? Mysteries. Acts chapter
2 verse 1. Everybody. Acts chapter 2 verse 1.
Acts chapter 2 verse 1. And when the day of Pentecost
was fully come, they were all with one accord
in one place, yes? And suddenly there came a
sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind,
and it filled the house where they were all what?
Sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven
tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon how
many of them? So which means all of them that
were inside the room had this experience. Amen?
There was none that was exempted. Glory to Jesus.
Good, next verse. Good, now to validate that.
For, and they were, how many? They were what?
All filled. Can you say we are all filled with
the Holy Ghost in this place? Can you say we
are all filled with all utterance in this place?
Can you say we are all filled? With signs in
this place. We are all filled with the gifts
of the Holy Ghost in this place. They were all
filled with the what? With the Holy Ghost. Began
to speak with other tongues as the Spirit gave
them what? Utterance. Verse 5. And there were
dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of
every nation under what? Under heaven. So what
can we see here? I don't want to go back now
to many things that we have done. They were filled
with the Holy Ghost. Amen? And they began to
speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them
what? Utterance. This is to validate where we
are coming from that is given to every man severally
as he what? As he will. Because these men now,
they acted on their will. The Spirit of God gave
them utterance. You see? He said, they spoke
as the Spirit gave them utterance. He giveth
severally to every man as he will. So, the issue
has never been with the giver. It has never been
with the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost gives and
gives again and gives again and gives again and
withholds at all. So, when I don't see it, it
does not mean the Holy Ghost is not giving. So,
Who spoke? Did the Holy Ghost give and still
got into them and then brought out utterance?
Who spoke? Who did the giving? So, if they spoke
and the Holy Ghost gave, it means that they received.
Amen? And because they have received, how we
knew or how we know that they have received is
that there was what? Utterance. Glory to Jesus.
Then now. And when they spoke, one of the things
that we will see in utterance is that you will
hear it. You know we say it's relating to what?
To speaking. And we say tongues means what? A
language or what? Dialect. That when you speak,
You know, it will be what? It will be heard.
So that means that in Acts chapter 2, when there
was utterance, people what? People heard them.
Verse 5 now. See verse 5. Okay, yes, verse 8.
Thank you. And how here we, how many men? Every
man in our own what? In our own tongue wherein
we were what? We were born. Go back to verse
7. And they were all amazed. and marvels saying
to one another, Behold, are not all these what?
Which speak what? Galilean? Yes, it. And how
hear we every man in our own tongue wherein we
were born? Nine. Persians, Medians, Elamites,
and dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judea and
Cappadocia, in Pontus and Asia, Phrygia, Pamphylia,
in Egypt, and in the party of Libya, and strangers
of Rome, Jews, and proselytes. How we hear them?
Amen. Verse 11. Cretans and Arabians. What were
they hearing them say? From that utterance. We
do hear them speak in our tongues. The what?
What were they speaking? In verse 1, 2 and 3.
The scripture says. He gave them utterance as
they speak. Right? But now we are hearing now.
In further verses. That what they were speaking,
they were declaring the what? The wonderful works
of who? Of God. Because the question is now,
even the hearers are wondering, how do we what?
Hear them. So they spoke in tongues, but we hear
them speak in our own language. Question will
be, does it mean that the tongues they were speaking
was our own language? Amen? No. Praise God. Hallelujah.
Hallelujah. Glory to Jesus. So mind you, the
audience that were in that atmosphere, you know,
we're what? We're Jews. Glory to Jesus. I'm trying
to rush this because we know this now. right
we are jews so when we start reading from verse
chapter 1 verse 12 right chapter 1 verse 12 you
see the scripture says that then return day unto
jerusalem from the mount called what olivet which
is from jerusalem a sabbath days what journey
pastor victor has taught us how to be able to
discover and check distance geographically amen
So, now we now see them returning back to what?
Jerusalem because of the feast that is ahead.
Then now in Acts chapter 2, take us back to Acts
chapter 2 where everybody came for the feast.
Acts chapter 2, let's start reading from verse
5. And they that were dwelling at what? Jerusalem,
Jews, devout men out of what? Every nation under
heaven. Pentecost, which we know, the feast,
50, right? Yeah, so during the Pentecost, everyone
from every part, every Jew that is staying away
from home, and it's like a homecoming. Yeah,
that's the right word, right? It's a homecoming
what? Event. So everywhere you are, Jews that
have naturalized, Jews that are staying in Iskele,
Jews that are staying in Lefke, Jews that are
staying in Girne, everybody will do a homecoming
back to Lefkosha. Is that clear enough? So from
every part that they are staying around, from
every nation globally, every one of them, right?
They will come back to what? They will come back
to Lefkosha. Glory to Jesus. So why will they
come back to Lefkosha? They will come back to
Lefkosha because there is a feast. Amen? And
everybody is coming back to celebrate that feast.
During that event, then we have this event happening.
Amen? So now, why were they amazed? They are
amazed because they know these guys that are
speaking, they are also speaking what? They are
Jews. They are our brothers. Glory to Jesus.
However, see something now. Let's go to Acts
chapter 2, everybody, so that you can see something.
Are we all there? 12 now, verse 12. 2 .12. And
they were all amazed and were in doubt, saying
one another, right? No, no, verse 11, sorry.
Verse 11 now. Cretans and Arabians, we do hear
them speak in our tongue. The wonderful works
of what? Of God. Okay, let's do this so that
we bring a clarification to it. Let me not run
away from it. Eight now. And how we hear every
man in our own tongue? wherein we were what?
We were born. Right? When they say in our own
tongue, what does it mean? Which means they were
speaking what? We hear them speak what? What
is their language? What is their language? Come
on now, help me now. Okay, good. So, everybody
now, go to your notes now, see. And then 6 says,
when this was noised abroad, right? The multitude
came together and were confounded, because that
every man had them speaking his own what? Language.
7. And they were all amazed and marveled, saying
one unto another, Behold, are not all these which
speak what? Can you see the language? So are
they not all of them speak Galileans? Right?
8. And how we hear them speak? How we, every
man, hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein
we were? Born. Nine. Now, Parthians, Medes, Elamites,
dwellers in Mesopotamia and in Judea, mind you,
they say that wherein we were born. So there's
an identity of this group of people. Amen? Good.
So, Parthians and this group of people that are
saying wherein we were born, all of them have
same identity. Glory to Jesus. Amen? And then
now, verse 8. 9. Patians and Medes, Elamites
and dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judea, and
in Cappadocia, and Pontus, and what? Asia. It's
not telling us that these are different languages.
No. It's telling us that these same people with
same identity, with same tongue, are dwellers
in all these different regions. Amen? Good. Let's
keep reading down now. Phrygia, Pamphylia in
Egypt and in parts of Libya about Cyrene and
strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, Cretes
and Arabians. We do hear them speak in our what?
In our what? So which means all these people
speak a common tongue. Are they not which we
hear them speak Galilean? They speak our own
language. They are our brothers. But what we
hear them declare, It's the wonderful works of
who? Of God. 12 now, everybody. And they were
all amidst and in doubt, saying one to another,
what meaneth what? This. 13. Others were mocking
and said, these men are full of what? Let me
read another version here. But others were laughing
and joking and ridiculing them, saying they are
full of sweet wine and are what? And are drunk.
If we hear that they are mocking at them and
saying that they are drunk, does it mean that
they were speaking intelligible words? No, they
will not be speaking words that are common English
language. Come on, let me say this. When I come
now and say, sir, you know, God is good to me.
God is good. God is this. I've been to declare
the wonderful works of God in English language.
Will you mock at me? You will not mock at me
because the words are what? Yes, are sensible.
But when I now come, right? I come in Atama language.
And then I began to speak. Everybody is waiting
for me to speak. I refuse to speak. And then
I begin to speak. And then I begin to speak.
And then suddenly you say, ah, Kostin is declaring
the wonderful works of God. The question would
be, how did you know that it's a wonderful work?
Do you know whether I'm negotiating now they
should sell you? But you see, because you don't
understand what I'm saying, it's easier for you
to do what? To mock at me. Sir, are you okay?
You start touching me. It means that what they
heard them, they were speaking, In 1, 2, 3. Cannot
be a common language. Because if it's a common
language that is sensible to them. There will
not be room for them to mock at them. Are we
all here? So. Now. They were hearing them. Speaking.
A gibberish tongue. What I'm saying gibberish
is that. They were speaking words that were not
what? That were not. Making sense to the mind.
Question now will be, then how did they come
by saying that these people now are speaking
the wonderful works of what? Of God. This is
where tongues and interpretation of tongues now
sets in. Hallelujah. What they had that they
made a conclusion that they were declaring the
wonderful works of God is that This man, mind
you, in Acts chapter 1, in 2, 1, 3, said that
they spoke in what? In tongues, as the Holy Ghost
gave them what? Did he say that they spoke in
Jewish? In Hebrew? In Galilean? No. Hallelujah.
They spoke in a supernatural language that is
not common to that society. However, the society
now will mock at them, yet at the same time,
say we hear them speak the wonderful works of
who? So a question should be running in your
mind. How is it that they will mock at them and
at the same time affirm that we can hear them
speak the wonderful works of God? So what was
happening there is that there is a tongue and
what? Interpretation of what? Of tongues. So
the events that came upon them, right, didn't
only brought tongue to them, didn't only bring
the experience of tongue to them, but also there
was an experience of what? Interpretation of
what? Of tongues. 1 Corinthians 14, everybody.
1 Corinthians 14. 12 minutes. 1 Corinthians 14.
Verse 2, everybody. Verse 2. Don't worry. We're
going to have a detailed, detailed precept upon
precept teaching on this. 2. For he that speaketh
in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto who? Not
unto men, but unto who? But unto who? When they
began speaking in tongues, were they speaking
to men? But how is it that men now say that we
hear them declare the wonderful works of God?
Amen? See now, now, continue. But unto God, for
no man, what? Understandeth him. No man will
understand him because no man cannot relate to
him. So the easiest thing is to mock at that
man. That is why till today, people mock at tongues.
They mock at it. Because it's not a language
for the man to understand. However, we are bringing
balance to him. How be it in the spirit, he speaketh
what? Mysteries. 1 Corinthians chapter 12. Do
we see that the Holy Ghost will manifest tongues
in the believer? So if the believer speaketh
tongues, right? Is he speaking it in the spirit
or is he speaking it out of the spirit? In the
spirit because that is a manifestation of the
gift of the spirit, right? Good. Perfect. Then
now three. But he that prophesied speaketh unto
men to what? Edification and exaltation and comfort.
Four now. Everybody see now. But he that speaketh
in an unknown tongue edified what? Himself. But
he that prophesied edified what? The church.
Five. Five now everybody. I would that ye all
speak with what? Do you think he was writing
to an unbelieving church? He was writing to a
what? To a believing church. And if he says,
I would that ye all. If he says, ye all, means
what? Come on now. When he says, ye all, means
what? Everyone. That everyone should participate
in the speaking of tongues. But rather, that
ye may what? Prophesied. For greater is he that
prophesied than he that speaketh with what? Tongues.
See now, everybody. Except he what? Everybody,
except he. So, where there is tongue and interpretation,
what we will see is that the church will receive
what? Edifying. Because when it comes to utterance
gift, tongues, it relates to what? Speaking.
Speaking in the spirit. In and through the spirit.
Now, it does not stop there. You remember we
said that he gave it to every man to profit what?
To profit with all. Right? So, which means that
that profit with all, if we carry it and put
it here, we can equate it to what? Edifying.
Because now, that profit that the man will bring,
that profit will be to edify. The church. So
every time there is tongue and interpretation
of tongue, what we see is what? Edification.
So you can write it this way, mathematics. Tongues
plus edification plus interpretation of tongues
is equal to what? Edification. And don't stop
there. Art again and equals to prophecy. Tongues
plus interpretation of tongues is equal to what?
Edification. And is equal to what? Prophecy.
So what is tongue now? Let me quickly rush this
now. I'm not going to my notes so that I can
rush this. Tongue is that what? The scripture
says in that verse too. How be it I don't speak
unto men, I speak unto who? Unto God. So at what
point do I speak unto men? When I begin to bring
what? Interpretation. Then she begins to say,
Glory! Edification comes. The same thing equates
with prophecy. He said, I would that ye, go back
to verse 3, verse 4. Verse 4. He that speaketh
and uttereth himself, but he that prophesied
what? Edified. Please, if it's your Bible, underline
the word. He that prophesied, edified the church.
Next verse now. Next verse, C. Next verse, from
B. For greater is he that prophesied than he
that speaketh with tongues, except he what? Interpret
that the church may receive what? So, the same
thing that we find when there is tongue and interpretation
of tongue and the church is edified, from verse
4 now, so also we see that prophecy brings. Why?
Because prophecy, right, is speaking for the
mind of God. Right? In a language that is common
to the understanding of man. Do you hear what
I just said now? I'm running, I'm running now.
Prophecy, right? Is speaking for the mind of
God. Right? In a language that is common to the
understanding of what? Of man. So which means
if I want to prophesy, or there's a manifestation
of the gift of the Spirit, Right? In prophecy,
I will not come to man of God and say, You know?
Okay, let me not go there. You know? And then
I go, Say amen. And then leave her. I've left
her in more confusion than I met her. But you
see, what prophecy will do is that prophecy will
come with English language that she understands.
If it's Igbo, if I understand Igbo very well,
she understands Igbo very well, I say, you know,
and then I begin to speak Igbo. When I finish
speaking Igbo, you know, when I finish, She'll
go, glory, glory, glory, glory. She'll say, ha,
God is speaking to me. You see, the same joy
that she did is the same with tongues. So when
we say pray in tongues and interpret the tongues,
let me say something now that just came to me.
When you come to interpret tongues, The interpretation
of tongues comes in the language that is common
to the receiver. Do you know what I just said
now? Interpretation of tongues comes in a language
that is what? Common to the receiver. If the
receiver understands Igbo, well, interpretation
should come to him in what? In Igbo. If he's
in Kinyarwanda, in Swahili, it should come to
him in what? Swahili. Because the end of it is
that the church may receive what? A defying.
Glory to Jesus. Hallelujah. Do you understand?
Is it clear enough? Is it clear enough, everybody?
Yes, so. So which means that in the next minutes
that we have ahead of us, we're going to have
tongues. We're going to have what? Interpretation
of tongues. And we're going to have what? Prophecy.
Right? So let me just add this for us so that
we can quickly add it regarding prophecy. Long
teachings. Write this now. Just add this as part
of the operations of prophecy, everybody. So,
in prophecy, how we will know the operation of
prophecy? Everybody can just write this down.
Right? Which can also happen with tongues and
what? Interpretation of tongues. Amen? By the
way, let me say this before I say this. That
all the manifestation of the gifts of the Spirit,
they are operations that will happen at the spur
of the moment. You don't need to plan them. They
are not pre -planned things. You go and plan
something. somewhere in their house. You know?
That's what fake prophets do. They will plan
it. You know? They will check, check, check,
check, check, check. Okay, they will know that
their name is Simon. They will know that their
name is this. They say, okay, Simon, when I call
you, right? Say, hey, oh, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa,
pa, pa, pa. When I say, eh, so, so, so, so, so,
in Zimbabwe or Tanzania, they say, yes, daddy,
yes, daddy, yes, daddy. That is not how the gifts
of the Holy Ghost work, oh. There is no prior
knowledge. Or prior information when the manifestation
is in operation. Amen? I needed to say that because
it's important. Because often when people see
this, they say it's already planned. How is it
that he knew that the person is from Tanzania
specifically? This church, can you see? You know
some people, they say, even in this end time,
even in this small church, they are still faking
prophecy and faking things. Let me not say what
I want to say. Add this now to prophecy. That
in prophecy, I've said that to you, it implies
to speak forth by the spirit or by the inspiration
of the spirit at the spur of the moment. To speak
forth by the spirit, by inspiration at the spur
of the moment. Right? The spur of the moment.
About things that will happen. About things that
will what? That will happen. About things that
will happen. Are we all there? Yeah, so we're
going to have lots of things that will happen,
instructions that will come to us, right? That
will happen, that God will bring to us in the
next hours that is coming upon us. Amen? Glory
to Jesus. Glory to Jesus. In revelational gifts,
word of knowledge, word of wisdom, and discerning
of spirits, right? What is word of knowledge?
Because we had this not long ago. Word of knowledge,
what's word of knowledge? Word of knowledge is
revision. This one is revision. I will not do
anything about it. Word of knowledge. Huh? Word
of knowledge. Not word of wisdom. Word of knowledge.
Past and present. Right? Yes. An event that is
happening now. Right? From the mind of God. Without
prior knowledge. No arrangements. You see, yesterday,
I didn't know anybody that had a symptom of hynea.
No prior knowledge. Yesterday, I didn't know
anybody that had a symptom that has to do with
obstructive whatever. Right? This morning, I
don't have any knowledge about who is Stephanie.
Amen? I don't have all this knowledge. But one
thing I know from the mind of God is that God
had already what? Attended to it. Amen. Word
of wisdom. Yes. So word of wisdom can come with
a condition or without condition. So often you
will hear, you know, there has been a struggle
in your heart regarding the instruction God has
given you, right? To start out a work of ministry.
However, this is the direction that the Lord
is bringing. He said that he will lead you to
this person, to this. Sometimes it will come
with specifics. to this person, to this person,
and you will know it by this and this and this.
You see? So, the person, no prior knowledge,
but yet God is revealing it and even giving more
direction on what to do. Glory to Jesus. Designing
of spirits, we've learned it. One of the last
things we did, right? Is what? Yes, to distinguish,
to see into the spirit realm. We say that there
are different spirits. We are not the ones there
alone. Amen? Yes. Pastor Emmanuel taught us on
power gifts. Gifts of healing. And what we learned
in gifts of healing, I don't want to go back
there. What we learned in gifts of healing, right?
Gifts of healing has to do with what? Physical
ailments, diseases. Right? That we see the power
of God bringing healing. Suddenly a body is sick
and then hands are laid and we see instant wholeness
come to the body. Glory to Jesus. Amen? Yes.
Now we say gifts of faith. Gifts of faith is
what? Ah, we need to do a thorough revision on
this. Detailed one. Gifts of faith. Huh? Hallelujah.
The gifts of the Spirit when in oppression is
that you can receive for me a miracle. Hallelujah.
You can give or receive for me a what? A miracle.
Working of miracles. Yes ma. When you suspend.
I must get something in this season. No. Yeah,
I have to get it. God is the best student in
this class. I must get it. On a serious note,
I will get it. No. She has imparted me in spiritual
and now with these answers, I will impart her
immaterialities. I will minister to her canalities.
Walking of miracles is the supernatural superimposing
over the natural. There is no wine in the feast.
And Jesus now brings what? Wine into what? The
feast. He said, go and borrow vessels, not a
few. Borrow, borrow, not a few. What do you have?
Borrow more vessels. From the little oil, now
we have all the vessels are filled with what?
Oil. Say, carry them, sell them. And do what?
And pay up the debt. Working of what? Miracles.
Working of miracles with healing. Organ is dead.
Kidney is gone. And then we lay hands there.
Amen. Kidney is gone. Oh, bad kidney. We lay
hands there and then a new kidney comes to the
person. The person goes to the hospital and the
doctors declare, when did you have a transplant?
Because you didn't hold it in this hospital.
As long as our record is stating you had your
last dialysis last two days. How is it that a
new kidney came? Working of miracles is that
the man comes blind into a conference like this.
And hands are laid. He receives healing and he
receives a new eye. Supernatural, superimposing
over the what? The natural. All these are working
by self -same what? Spirit. Unlimited supply
of the power of the Holy Ghost. So what I'm saying
in essence now, we're praying right now. What
I'm saying in essence is that the gifts of the
Holy Ghost, the manifestation of the gifts of
the Holy Ghost in the believer has no limits.
Do you hear what I just said? Has no what? Has
no limits. Get into cities. Get into houses.
Get into places. Get into nations with so much
boldness by the Spirit of the Lord and see a
greater manifestation of the power of the Holy
Ghost. Every day I wake up, I desire that soon
it will be seen, it will be heard. You know,
I will gather a crowd unnumbered. Crusades will
be held. Short meetings will be held. Where two
or three are gathered will be held. I keep telling
myself, whether it's two people, it will be with
the same intensity. Whether it's 2 ,000 people,
it will be with the same intensity. Whether it's
2 million people, it will still be what? The
same. Even if he's exploit and early know that
they say, sir, can you come and speak with them?
It will be with the same what? Intensity. The
expectation will not grow low. What I'm saying
is that the will to see more, the desire to see
more. Call that your dad that is sick. Call that
your mom that is sick. Call that your friend
that is sick. Lay hands, you will see healing.
Just yield more to the Holy Ghost. The Holy Spirit
will give you instruction for that your stubborn
friend. Through that instruction, that friend
will be saved and delivered. Can we pray in the
Holy Ghost everybody? We appreciate you being
