  Welcome to NECF. We're thrilled you're here.
• 0:06
  Make sure to stay with us till the end, where
• 0:09
  we'll share some great resources to deepen your
• 0:12
  faith. Now, let's dive into this week's sermon.
• 0:20
  Yes, much more prophecy. Praise God. So which
• 0:25
  means that when we say let's pray in tongues,
• 0:29
  You should not be doing this mess. I think either
• 0:30
  Pastor Fred or was it Pastor Victor that showed
• 0:33
  us a posture yesterday, Pastor Victor. You know,
• 0:36
  I attended a meeting by Baba Chris Delvan for
• 0:39
  the first time, 2003. He came to our place. The
• 0:43
  first time he released his first album. You know,
• 0:46
  I bought that album with my money. I finished
• 0:49
  that album. You know, I went to NYSE. When I
• 0:54
  sing, people say I sound like him. I say I've
• 0:56
  never seen him in my life. One -on -one. But
• 0:58
  I know I attended the program. So, that was the
• 1:02
  first album. Something just within me, I said,
• 1:05
  there's something about singing and me. Why is
• 1:07
  it that my parents did not allow me to sing?
• 1:10
  When I was finished on the school, they'd say,
• 1:12
  write the group you want to go. I put choir.
• 1:14
  My mom changed it to prayer team. On Sunday,
• 1:19
  I was happy. They were going to call because
• 1:21
  you wear white, white. So, they're going to call
• 1:23
  you people and then they will announce the group.
• 1:26
  They announced me in prayer team. Ah, I was,
• 1:30
  ah. Pastor Fred said it was rigged. So I attended
• 1:39
  this program. You know, then we grew up in a
• 1:44
  place where the clothes you wear, you grow in
• 1:48
  them. So when they buy you a trouser, you have
• 1:51
  to grow in the trouser. So you should know the
• 1:53
  size of the trouser. When they buy you one shirt,
• 1:56
  I think that also kind of affected us why we
• 1:58
  have to keep clothes for a long time. We use
• 2:01
  clothes. I can use clothes 20 years. Why? Yeah,
• 2:09
  I'm wondering. You know? You know, somebody say,
• 2:15
  are you in the wilderness? I don't know. So when
• 2:19
  they will buy shoe for you, They will buy the
• 2:21
  shoe. You will grow in the shoe. You will grow
• 2:23
  in it. It becomes like an inheritor, like a legacy.
• 2:29
  You know? So, because of that, we never had too
• 2:33
  many clothes. We just had clothes to, the shirts
• 2:36
  to wear, trousers to use. There was no clothes
• 2:39
  like that. So, I was glad my cousin sent his
• 2:42
  Nautica and then one big jeans. You know, Fubu's
• 2:46
  baggy. That one big one. So, I was feeling myself.
• 2:49
  I remember I went to this man's program because
• 2:51
  those were one of my best clothes. If you say,
• 2:53
  go and wear your best clothes, that is one of
• 2:57
  the clothes I know it was my best. I wore and
• 3:00
  then I went to his meeting. So they were praying.
• 3:04
  So me, I took myself to that program. But you
• 3:09
  know, I just put my hands in the pockets and
• 3:12
  I was praying. You know, Baba Delvan looked at
• 3:16
  me. He said, Yulia! Are you mad? Do you think
• 3:22
  we came here to play? We are praying and you're
• 3:25
  putting hands in the pockets and moving around.
• 3:27
  Remove the hand or I send you home. I said, but
• 3:32
  I brought myself to this meeting to show you
• 3:37
  that I did not forget that correction. That's
• 3:39
  why it's still in my head till today. I brought
• 3:42
  myself. I saw the program. I was happy. I came
• 3:45
  there. It's the same posture that when Pastor
• 3:52
  Victor said yesterday, that was a picture that
• 3:53
  came to my head. You can't be on fire and your
• 3:57
  hands are in the pocket. Hallelujah. So when
• 4:02
  we say, let's pray, you just, that's when you
• 4:05
  now enter your big man is in. You know, you start
• 4:08
  pacing around. You start pacing around. The other
• 4:12
  day, Coladay, Coladay asked us to do something,
• 4:14
  right? To kneel down. That's a posture. We saw
• 4:18
  it from scriptures. Right? You start pacing around,
• 4:21
  that's when your body will start scratching you.
• 4:24
  And that is when your phone will start ringing.
• 4:27
  You pick up your phone, you step out, you come
• 4:29
  back. You step out, you come back. You step out.
• 4:30
  You see that lady has stepped out now. She has
• 4:32
  not come back. And I didn't know when she left.
• 4:37
  If I knew, she would not leave. So when we say
• 4:41
  pray, amen, please, boil, boil. If you're online,
• 4:47
  hear me. When we say pray, every, let me say
• 4:50
  this now, it's coming to my heart. Every time
• 4:52
  you are doing a spiritual thing, boil over that
• 4:57
  thing. Hallelujah. Do what? Boil over it. Don't
• 5:04
  take it casual. Boil over it. When we say let's
• 5:08
  take the next five minutes and then pray in tongues,
• 5:11
  please, don't pray casually. Do what? Boil over
• 5:15
  it. Hallelujah. Are we ready to do that? Are
• 5:19
  we ready to do that? Are we ready to do that?
• 5:22
  Yes, this is how we enjoy the supernatural things.
• 5:26
  I was listening to that Baba this morning. He
• 5:28
  said, every time he has a conference, he takes
• 5:31
  one week, two weeks, three weeks, not to prepare
• 5:33
  for the conference, to prepare him for the conference.
• 5:37
  He said, I prepare me. He said, I ensure that
• 5:41
  every noise inside is silenced so that I can
• 5:44
  hear him well. So when we come like this, let
• 5:51
  all our desires, we establish a reality that
• 5:55
  we have audience with God. Hallelujah. We have
• 5:57
  audience with God. So let our desires be what?
• 6:01
  Be fervent. Are we ready? Let's pray in the next
• 6:03
  five minutes in the Holy Ghost. Because the things
• 6:17
  that we are about doing in the next minutes to
• 6:19
  come will require us to be fervent. It will require
• 6:22
  us to be fervent. It will require us to be fervent.
• 6:24
  It will require us to be fervent. Thank you.

• 7:35
  If you're online and you're following, boil,
• 7:39
  boil and pray more in the Holy Ghost. It's the
• 7:54
  Epaphras who is also one of you. That's the posture.
• 8:00
  And Jesus with an agonizing posture. So much
• 8:04
  so that his sweat was thick as blood. That's
• 8:07
  the posture. And they prayed all night for the
• 8:10
  apostles when they were locked up in the prison.
• 8:12
  That's the posture. Thank you. You have an audience
• 8:50
  with God. You have an audience with God and not
• 8:53
  with men. yes yes yes yes yes yes yes Isotomenai,
• 9:13

• 9:39
  Ezazelibolaba. Thank you, Holy Ghost. In Jesus'
• 9:56
  name we pray. Can we have a seat briefly? You
• 10:01
  could do well also by just praying under your
• 10:04
  breath in the Holy Ghost. You know you can do
• 10:07
  that, right? You can listen to me at the same
• 10:10
  time you're praying in tongues. Hallelujah. Praise
• 10:12
  God. Praise God. Praise God. I know for some
• 10:17
  of us, you know, this is one of the first time
• 10:21
  we're experiencing such where you sit from morning
• 10:23
  till evening. The first time I had this experience
• 10:27
  was with Reverend Imao Para from Nigeria. You
• 10:31
  know, the first time I've never had this experience.
• 10:34
  They say we're going to have 14 hours of prayers.
• 10:36
  I say, ah, ah. What are we going to be praying
• 10:38
  for 14 hours? Well, you know, because I have
• 10:41
  the spirit of God, that saying excited me. I
• 10:45
  said, I would love to experience this. Hallelujah.
• 10:48
  Every time you hear things like that, let it
• 10:50
  excite you. I said, I would love to experience
• 10:53
  it because I've never been in a place where we
• 10:55
  prayed 14 hours. At least we've been in a place
• 10:59
  where we had fasting festival, Apostle Idama,
• 11:01
  one week of fasting, no food. Just water, one
• 11:06
  week. I came back home, only my head, my neck
• 11:10
  sling. In fact, the third day, I even vomited.
• 11:16
  You know, one week, if you have never done it,
• 11:18
  you say, will I reach fifth day? As if I will
• 11:21
  die. Because your eyes will be turning you. But
• 11:25
  oh boy, you know, getting to the last day, that
• 11:29
  time in Joss, there was this so much supply of
• 11:32
  strength from the Holy Ghost. I know this Baba
• 11:35
  has been holding this conference for a long time,
• 11:38
  if you know him. I saw him, I thought he was
• 11:40
  Paul. Because the picture we see of Paul, you
• 11:43
  know, in the scripture, he has bald head and
• 11:46
  with long BS to the DC. That's the same way that
• 11:49
  Baba is. With a bald head, all he has is chalk,
• 11:52
  then his BS all to the chest. He was laying on
• 11:59
  us. I know I can explain it now. But when that
• 12:04
  man came close to me, he didn't touch me. I know
• 12:08
  this man carries much more of God's presence.
• 12:16
  You know, he had millions in his box. He kept
• 12:19
  the millions, all the millions for running the
• 12:21
  conference. He kept it on the table. He said,
• 12:23
  all of you in this conference, you know, inside
• 12:25
  this suitcase is all the money we use for running
• 12:27
  this conference. If you are a thief, come and
• 12:29
  steal it. I'm telling you, he said it. That box
• 12:33
  was there till the end of the conference. When
• 12:37
  the government of George sent him two million
• 12:39
  and one cow and ten bags of rice, he said, take
• 12:43
  it back to them. Tell them we don't need it.
• 12:46
  If they want to come here, the governor himself
• 12:49
  should come here. Not anyone. He said, only the
• 12:53
  pillar. You see that light? It's 1 .5 million.
• 12:55
  You see the other one? Only light. You know,
• 12:58
  he sent the thing back to them. Tomorrow evening,
• 13:00
  the governor came. So when you hear of spiritual
• 13:09
  and I shortly, I just came back shortly from
• 13:13
  school and I had on Sunday that people are traveling
• 13:16
  for fasting festival. I did not calculate it
• 13:18
  in my head. I did not even arrange it with my
• 13:21
  parents. I told them I had the announcing fellowship
• 13:24
  on Friday that on Sunday there is a traveling
• 13:26
  to Joss. I want to go. I packed my bag straight
• 13:29
  to Joss. These are some of the things that will
• 13:35
  preserve God's deposit in your life. When you
• 13:40
  hear meetings like that, don't run away from
• 13:43
  them. Praise God. Hallelujah. With this so much
• 13:47
  knowledge you have, at the age where you are,
• 13:50
  16, 17, 20, 21, what you are hearing today, we
• 13:55
  never had it at 21. We never had anybody, sir,
• 13:59
  even at 23, 24, for sure not say, this is how
• 14:02
  you craft your life. Don't do this. The other
• 14:05
  day we were talking. If we had people that were
• 14:07
  following us the way we are following people
• 14:09
  and you're running away. Really will not be here.
• 14:19
  But something kept us. Hallelujah. That desire
• 14:22
  never died. Hallelujah. That desire never what?
• 14:25
  Never died. That desire should not die in your
• 14:28
  heart. Praise God. It should never die. It should
• 14:32
  never grow cold. It should never grow cold. It
• 14:35
  should never grow cold. It should never grow
• 14:37
  cold. It should never grow cold. It should never
• 14:39
  what? Grow cold by the Spirit of God. Now, in
• 14:43
  your own corner, plan out a time that I'm going
• 14:49
  to give myself to praying in tongues for the
• 14:51
  next 90 days. Praying in tongues every day for
• 14:55
  one hour. I will give myself praying. Praying
• 14:58
  in tongues. Not in English language. Not in French.
• 15:00
  Not in Zimbabwe language. Not in any language.
• 15:02
  Only tongues for one hour for the next 90 days.
• 15:06
  Plan it out. Something will happen about your
• 15:13
  life. Amen? Praise God. Yeah, so let's go. Where
• 15:23
  did we stop? So that we can run this and then...
• 15:25
  Like I told us, when we talk about... Tongues
• 15:28
  and interpretation of tongues is already what?
• 15:30
  Prophecy. Praise God. Yeah, so even when we're
• 15:34
  going to talk about prophecy later on, it will
• 15:36
  just be just almost like what? A reputation.
• 15:40
  Because we're going to dwell still on 1 Corinthians
• 15:42
  chapter 14 and it's the same side by side that
• 15:45
  you see Paul talking about that. Amen? So where
• 15:49
  did we stop? Can you remind me please? Sorry.
• 15:57
  We stop at what? Definition of prophecy? Okay,
• 16:03
  speak by inspiration. Thank you, sir. Excuse
• 16:07
  me. So, okay, and then we said we carried the
• 16:13
  words and we put it in, right? Yeah, so and then
• 16:16
  you read it for us. Thank you for that. Holy
• 16:20
  Spirit. So, Having said that now, 1 Corinthians
• 16:27
  14, let's just build from there. I told us we
• 16:31
  should not be tired of 1 Corinthians, Mark chapter
• 16:34
  16, Acts. We're going to be going there back
• 16:38
  and forth. Follow after what? Charity, right?
• 16:43
  And desire spiritual gifts. But rather that ye
• 16:47
  may what? Much more that ye may prophesy. You
• 16:51
  speak by the inspiration of the Holy Ghost at
• 16:54
  the spur of the moment. Amen? So, when Paul starts
• 17:00
  out, or as he has started out this chapter, he
• 17:03
  said that much more that ye may what? Prophesy.
• 17:07
  And then we established that prophecy is directly
• 17:11
  what? Edifying the what? The church, right? And
• 17:14
  so, when we say you're speaking by inspiration,
• 17:17
  what we are saying is that you are speaking intelligible
• 17:20
  words that the mind can understand. Do you know
• 17:24
  what I said? When we say prophecy, you are speaking
• 17:27
  by inspiration. What the Holy Ghost is uttering
• 17:33
  through you, right, is coming to the mind and
• 17:37
  the mind is understanding it. So in essence,
• 17:40
  what we mean is that now prophecy is using, let
• 17:44
  me qualify it this way now carefully, is using
• 17:47
  the common language to be able to explain. supernatural
• 17:54
  information or communication. Using what? Common
• 18:00
  language. A language that everyone understands.
• 18:04
  The language that your hearer understands. So
• 18:09
  prophecy is using what? A common language. A
• 18:12
  natural language that the mind understands to
• 18:17
  explain supernatural communication. Prophecy
• 18:25
  is using what? Natural language, common language
• 18:29
  that the mind understands to explain what? Supernatural
• 18:34
  what? Communication. So that the mind can be
• 18:39
  edified. You can either put so that the mind
• 18:43
  can be edified or the hearer can be edified.
• 18:47
  So every time prophecy comes, prophecy will not
• 18:51
  come in speakings like tongues. Prophecy will
• 18:54
  come in words that are understandable to the
• 18:57
  mind. Amen? But the sole end of prophecy is what?
• 19:03
  Edification. Don't forget. The sole end and the
• 19:07
  aim of prophecy is what? Edification. To build.
• 19:11
  So prophecies don't come to destroy. Prophecies
• 19:15
  come to build. However, I've jumped ahead. But
• 19:19
  it's still part of interpretation. Prophecies
• 19:22
  don't come to what? To destroy. Prophecies come
• 19:26
  to do what? To build. So when you get into a
• 19:32
  place and somebody is giving you a prophetic
• 19:34
  word, he's giving you tongues and interpretation
• 19:35
  of tongues, right? And then suddenly, instead
• 19:39
  of getting edified, you're feeling unedified
• 19:42
  and you're feeling destroyed, right? Two things
• 19:49
  are happening. which we are going to learn here
• 19:52
  also. Whether the person has not learned and
• 19:55
  is matured on how to pass the information he
• 19:58
  or she is receiving as a result of growth or
• 20:02
  as a result of teaching, right? Or the person
• 20:04
  is transmitting from a wrong source. So there's
• 20:11
  a place where as a result of your growth, you
• 20:13
  are not taught. So you are hearing and you are
• 20:15
  receiving accurately, right? But now, How to
• 20:19
  transmit it. I want to give one example. I don't
• 20:26
  know how to put it. Let me leave it. How to transmit
• 20:31
  it now is a challenge. Right? So, but however,
• 20:37
  now you need to be taught and you now learn how
• 20:39
  to now carefully because one of the things we
• 20:42
  are learning is that every time you receive an
• 20:45
  instruction, the sole aim is to edify. The sole
• 20:49
  aim is to what? When there is tongue and interpretation,
• 20:53
  the sole aim is what? Edification. Edification.
• 20:58
  We're going to see now. Edification. Building,
• 21:01
  building, building, building, building. Not to
• 21:04
  put fear. Not to put fear. Not to put anxiety.
• 21:08
  Not to put worry. Not to put fear. Not to put
• 21:11
  anxiety. Not to put worry. But to set up faith
• 21:14
  and to build. That's why yesterday I counseled
• 21:21
  some people to leave some groups on WhatsApp,
• 21:23
  on TikTok, Palm or Strange House group. Understand
• 21:27
  your destiny by reading the Sky group. I told
• 21:30
  you, leave those groups. That is why you're hearing
• 21:34
  things when you sleep. You see things. When I
• 21:39
  sit, I just hear things. Why won't you hear things?
• 21:43
  The source of what you're hearing is not edifying
• 21:45
  you. I remember a sister came here. And she told
• 21:48
  me that she's already hearing since she's here.
• 21:50
  I will not say her name. But she's not in the
• 21:53
  hall here. And I hope she's listening to me online.
• 21:58
  You know, and we asked her, what book and what
• 22:02
  are you hearing? She said that she has been reading
• 22:04
  something about demonic, demonic something, something,
• 22:08
  something. And there's somebody that she's following
• 22:09
  online. There was one guy that they released
• 22:13
  on YouTube that talks about, is it hell or Satan?
• 22:17
  was something demonizing. I said, why are you
• 22:20
  listening? She said that she's listening so that
• 22:22
  she can understand their operation. And I asked
• 22:28
  her, you have not finished with the operation
• 22:31
  of what we are doing in this church. You are
• 22:34
  giving yourself fully to that. Why won't you
• 22:39
  be hearing the things you are hearing? Why won't
• 22:43
  you be seen? She said when she sleeps, she sees
• 22:44
  people are following her like she's seen demons
• 22:47
  around. Do you know what she told me? She said
• 22:49
  when she looks at people, she sees demons on
• 22:51
  their head. Yes. It took time. She has stopped
• 23:10
  seeing them now. The sole aim of tongues and
• 23:24
  interpretation is what? Edification. And I said
• 23:28
  something earlier that interpretation is not
• 23:31
  translating syllables of the sounds of your tongues.
• 23:38
  Interpretation is not what? Translating the sounds
• 23:41
  or the syllables of your what? Of your tongue.
• 23:44
  No. And I said something profoundly that interpretation
• 23:48
  is also a diversity of the Holy Ghost within
• 23:53
  the believer. The believer has tongues within
• 23:57
  him. He also has what? Interpretation. So the
• 24:00
  source of interpretation is the Holy Ghost. So
• 24:04
  interpretation does not come from your mind,
• 24:08
  but interpretation comes from your what? From
• 24:11
  your spirit. So it's interpretation that comes
• 24:15
  from your spirit and then the mind is able to
• 24:18
  catch up with the information. Praise God. So
• 24:21
  when interpretation comes now, your mind now
• 24:24
  takes it up. I say, glory! They never spoke yesterday.
• 24:31
  Brother Prince and other brother, remind me your
• 24:34
  name. Simon. They never met yesterday. They never
• 24:38
  spoke yesterday. But the same word he gave me
• 24:41
  today, the same word he also gave me today. Yesterday,
• 24:43
  sorry. He also gave me. Just a confirmation.
• 24:48
  And my mind understood it. Why? Because for the
• 24:53
  past few weeks, I've been getting lots of information
• 24:56
  of the same thing. In fact, with lots of messages.
• 24:59
  People that we have not talked to for a long
• 25:01
  time. So now, you see, they've interpreted it
• 25:09
  and my mind has what? Understood it. Am I edified?
• 25:13
  Yes, I'm edified. That's interpretation of tongues.
• 25:20
  Are we all here? So, run away. You have passed
• 25:25
  that place now. But when you meet people now,
• 25:27
  because you have passed the level of what I was
• 25:30
  about to say. So I've changed it now. When you
• 25:32
  meet people and they're struggling with the sounds
• 25:35
  of tongues, the sounds of tongues, right? You
• 25:37
  know what to tell them now, right? Right? So,
• 25:40
  and then you know what to tell them regarding
• 25:42
  interpretation, right? Perfect. Glory to God.
• 25:45
  Hallelujah. Hallelujah. So, verse 3 and 4 now.
• 25:52
  We say, but he that prophesied speaketh unto
• 25:55
  men. To what? Can you see why I kept stressing
• 25:58
  edification? But he that prophesied edifies.
• 26:02
  Say I prophesy and I edify. I prophesy and I
• 26:07
  edify. Hallelujah. So because prophecy brings
• 26:11
  edification. Prophecy brings exaltation. Prophecy
• 26:15
  brings comfort. Prophecy does not bring, should
• 26:18
  not bring anxiety. Prophecy should not bring
• 26:22
  fear. Prophecy should not bring sleepless nights.
• 26:30
  We're going to teach extensively on prophecy,
• 26:33
  on the prophetic. Amen? So you see, I'm already
• 26:37
  mixing interpretation and prophecy at the same
• 26:39
  time. Praise God. Hallelujah. Are we all here?
• 26:43
  So verse 3, verse 4 now. He that speaketh in
• 26:46
  an unknown tongue edifies who? You now know why
• 26:50
  the scripture says that you edify yourself, right?
• 26:52
  Why? Tell me. Yes? Yes? Yes, sir. Yes sir, that's
• 27:00
  one. Oh, this class. Please, we'll share the
• 27:06
  grace and go. You've written these things on
• 27:09
  your book now. When we say, he that speaketh
• 27:14
  in an unknown tongue, or he that prayeth in tongue,
• 27:16
  he defies himself. He's talking about one person
• 27:19
  now. What does he mean? Yes! You have audience,
• 27:28
  you and God. We say it's what? It's an elevated
• 27:34
  discussion. You and God. So what's happening
• 27:37
  is that God and you are understanding what you
• 27:39
  are speaking. You are edified. Praise God. Hallelujah.
• 27:46
  That's what's happening. But you should not stop
• 27:50
  there. See what the scripture says in verse 4.
• 27:52
  But he that prophesied edified what? The church.
• 27:55
  Why? Because when it's prophecy, now the words.
• 27:59
  What did I say about prophecy? Yes, the language
• 28:03
  other people understand. Or when I pray in tongues
• 28:09
  and I interpret the tongues, I edify the church.
• 28:12
  Why now? Because in interpretation, what's happened
• 28:15
  is that I use common language that the mind can
• 28:19
  understand. So, in the short moments now, we're
• 28:22
  going to split ourselves, right? And then we're
• 28:24
  going to pray in the Holy Ghost much more. And
• 28:26
  then we'll say, give a word. Do you give a word
• 28:29
  when we say, give a word? Come, for example.
• 28:34
  Let's do something. Let's pray. Let's pray for
• 28:40
  two minutes in the Holy Ghost. Don't look at
• 28:44
  us praying in the Holy Ghost. Praise God. Hallelujah.
• 29:11
  I've received a word for him. Right? I've received
• 29:14
  a word. In my heart now for him. But now. Let
• 29:18
  me give him the word. Are you with me? Rejoice
• 29:34
  now. So you are rejoicing. How do you understand?
• 29:43
  What did you understand? Are you rejoicing? Did
• 29:46
  you understand anything? Nothing. But now. If
• 29:54
  I come now. After we have taken time. And I tell
• 29:57
  him that I perceive in my heart. That there is
• 29:59
  so much desire for the supernatural. There is
• 30:01
  so much desire for the supernatural. And the
• 30:02
  spirit of God is saying that in this season.
• 30:04
  He is satisfying that desire much more. That
• 30:07
  you will see signs, wonders and miracles walk
• 30:10
  through your hands. He said even in the seemingly
• 30:12
  natural things that you desire. Those things
• 30:15
  that you've been praying much more. Those things
• 30:17
  that you've been, oh, you've been asking. Oh,
• 30:19
  really these things are possible. And I know
• 30:22
  it's possible through my hands. He said, I'm
• 30:23
  making them your reality much more. You will
• 30:26
  walk in them. You will see them. And many will
• 30:29
  testify of it. Hallelujah. Does he understand
• 30:35
  it? That's interpretation. Hallelujah. That's
• 30:45
  interpretation. That's just it. So as you keep
• 30:53
  it up, as you keep it up, as you keep it up,
• 30:56
  you get better at it. Don't shy away from it.
• 31:03
  Hallelujah. Good. So now, I just perceived this.
• 31:10
  You know, this thing that happened now, a couple
• 31:12
  of people have received a word in their heart.
• 31:16
  A couple of people have received a word. Two,
• 31:18
  three people have received a word. Who is the
• 31:19
  person or who are the people? Don't shy now.
• 31:23
  I just finished saying the word. I'll set you
• 31:38
  up. My management says I should not do this sign,
• 31:45
  so I'll not do it. But I will set you up. I will
• 31:48
  set you up. My management knows the sign. So,
• 31:53
  the Lord will give you understanding. Are we
• 31:58
  all here? So now, verse 4. He that speaketh in
• 32:01
  an unknown tongue edified himself. We have established
• 32:03
  what edified himself means, right? But he that
• 32:05
  prophesied edified what? The church. 5 now. I
• 32:08
  would that ye all speak with tongues, but rather
• 32:10
  that ye what? Prophesy. For greater is he that
• 32:12
  prophesied than he that what? Speaketh with what?
• 32:16
  With tongues. Except he, what? Interpret that
• 32:19
  the church may receive a defiant. Hallelujah.
• 32:23
  He said, for greater is he that prophesied than
• 32:26
  he that speaketh with what? With tongues. And
• 32:29
  we establish a word there, rather. Have you written
• 32:32
  something like that? Rather. You wrote it before,
• 32:34
  right? What's the word? Much more. Praise God.
• 32:38
  So if you realize, much more. When you check
• 32:42
  the original context of this writing, right?
• 32:45
  Translators have been able to act to help our
• 32:47
  understanding, actually. Right? They've been
• 32:50
  able to act, hear that. All the world has been
• 32:53
  seeing that. Right? So, because now, Paul is
• 32:57
  communicating from verse 1. And the matter of
• 33:00
  the discourse has not changed. Praise God. And
• 33:03
  the discourse is about the prophecy. Much more.
• 33:07
  Prophecy. He said, when you speak in tongues,
• 33:09
  interpret. The end of it, edification. Hallelujah.
• 33:14
  Yes, so he can come again and negate a reality
• 33:17
  and say that, oh, you know, when you speak in
• 33:20
  tongues, you are now greater than, sorry, when
• 33:23
  you prophesy, you are now greater than the one
• 33:25
  that what? That speaks in tongues. And then now
• 33:29
  every one of us go about. We say, you know, this
• 33:32
  man is a prophet. He is greater than us. And
• 33:35
  let me just say something. You can receive a
• 33:37
  word. In Africa, it's not common, but let me
• 33:39
  say it now. It just came back. In Africa, you
• 33:42
  cannot receive a word for your pastor. It's difficult.
• 33:49
  Even when you receive it, it cannot reach him.
• 33:52
  It will take you one year maybe before it reaches
• 33:54
  him. The first time I learned that actually,
• 34:00
  you can actually give a word was the day we were
• 34:04
  doing prophetic activation with Papa Steve. When
• 34:07
  he said, no, you can give me a word, I said,
• 34:08
  ah! Who am I? I'm not worthy. I'm not worthy.
• 34:14
  And you know, so we prayed, prayed, prayed. So
• 34:16
  by the Spirit, I now just, you know, I said,
• 34:19
  I perceive, sir, that you people are planning
• 34:21
  to move to Europe. Yes, Europe. I just perceive
• 34:25
  Europe. I didn't get the country, France. I saw
• 34:28
  him smiling. I said, ah, maybe I messed up. So
• 34:35
  he said, Koston, I said, yes, sir. He said, hmm.
• 34:41
  So, did you get the country? You know, I immediately
• 34:46
  said, I got it. I felt like, come on now. I've
• 34:52
  received a word from man of God and I know his
• 34:55
  class. Because where we are coming from is strange.
• 35:06
  Glory to God. But let me tell you, I announced
• 35:09
  to you that you can receive a word for a man
• 35:11
  of God by the Spirit of God. You can receive
• 35:14
  a word for your pastors. If you're online, you're
• 35:17
  hearing me, you can receive a word. Hallelujah.
• 35:19
  And give them the word. Praise God. Hallelujah.
• 35:23
  Yes, that is to answer one question in someone's
• 35:25
  heart now. Amen. Praise God. So Paul would have
• 35:29
  not been speaking that the one that prophesies
• 35:32
  is what? Is greater than the one that speaks
• 35:35
  in tongues. And also what? Because the sole aim
• 35:38
  of this communication in verse 5 is about what?
• 35:42
  Edification. Praise God. Because when we read
• 35:45
  verse 4 carefully, let's go to verse 4 everybody.
• 35:47
  He that speaketh in an unknown tongue does what?
• 35:51
  Edified himself. But he that prophesied edified
• 35:55
  what? The church. So he wants to explain much
• 35:59
  more what is his communication from verse 4.
• 36:02
  Right? Because if he's saying in verse 4, in
• 36:05
  verse 5, sorry. If he's saying in verse 4, the
• 36:07
  prophecy edifies the church. But the man, right,
• 36:12
  that prays in tongues, edifies himself. So verse
• 36:16
  5 will be. So when I edify myself and I have
• 36:20
  to edify the church, what should I do? Do we
• 36:23
  understand? Do we understand? That's what's happening
• 36:26
  in verse 5. Everybody go to verse 5 now. That's
• 36:30
  what's happening now. See now, he says in verse
• 36:32
  5, I would that ye all speak with what? With
• 36:36
  tongues. But rather, much more that you do what?
• 36:41
  That you prophesy. Why? Because previously he
• 36:45
  has said that prophecy edifies the church. However,
• 36:50
  now, when we keep reading now, for greater is
• 36:55
  he that prophesied than he that what? Speaketh
• 36:59
  in what? With tongues. Except he interprets,
• 37:03
  what will happen? That the church may do what?
• 37:07
  That the church may what? So now, fast now, because
• 37:11
  I want to quickly run over this place. I have
• 37:13
  a few minutes here so that we can do the things
• 37:14
  that we have ahead of us. When you check the
• 37:17
  what, that greater is maison. M -E -I -Z -O -N.
• 37:24
  He wasn't saying the one that prophesied is greater
• 37:27
  than what? The one that speaks in tongues. It's
• 37:30
  about edification. Praise God. So Paul would
• 37:33
  have not been contradicting the communication
• 37:35
  from verse 1, 2, 3, 4. Mason. M -E -I -Z -O -N.
• 37:42
  Mason. M -E -I -Z -O -N. And that word there
• 37:48
  is more. And that more there is not talking about
• 37:53
  ranking or classification. Prophecy is greater
• 37:56
  than what? than tongues. No. What he's saying
• 37:59
  is that the same way that prophecy brings edifying,
• 38:03
  when tongues is added with interpretation, edification
• 38:08
  also comes to what? To the church. Amen? Hallelujah.
• 38:16
  How did I know? Verse 6. See verse 6 now. How
• 38:23
  did I know? Verse 6. Now, brethren, if I come
• 38:27
  to you speaking with tongues, what shall I what?
• 38:31
  Profit you. Except I shall speak with you either
• 38:35
  by what? Revelation or by knowledge or by prophesying
• 38:40
  or by what? Doctrine. So he's saying that when
• 38:44
  I come to you, the only way I can profit you,
• 38:48
  that what profit there, the only way I can be
• 38:51
  of advantage to you is that I have to either
• 38:55
  bring their tongues and interpret it. A disclosed
• 38:59
  matter is now, an undisclosed matter is now disclosed,
• 39:03
  right? That's revelation. Amen? Yes, because
• 39:07
  interpretation, I've said it, that it happens
• 39:09
  by what? Revelation. Praise God. So now, the
• 39:12
  only way Paul will say that what? Is that I come
• 39:16
  to you either by revelation or by what? Knowledge
• 39:20
  or by what? Prophesying or by what? Or by doctrine.
• 39:25
  All of this will come with a natural language.
• 39:28
  So that the human mind can what? Can understand
• 39:32
  and be edified. So verse 5 is not talking about
• 39:37
  ranking of who is great and not. That word he
• 39:41
  that was added by translators. So that word greater
• 39:46
  is talking about more. And that more there is
• 39:51
  saying that prophecy. Right? The same way we
• 39:54
  define prophecy. You remember the definition,
• 39:56
  right? Yes, sir. Prophecy, as much as prophecy
• 40:00
  brings edifying to the church, when tongues is
• 40:03
  mixed with interpretation, edification comes.
• 40:10
  Praise God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. So because
• 40:16
  now there are lots of assertions that no, he's
• 40:20
  the one that prophesies. He's greater than the
• 40:22
  one that what? That speaks. Ah, that comes to
• 40:25
  me. I saw a man somewhere. I saw a man that come.
• 40:29
  Maybe you have seen it. One pastor brought one
• 40:31
  lady up. She spoke in tongues. And he now asked
• 40:34
  somebody to come and interpret. Have you seen
• 40:36
  the video somewhere? He was shaming, shaming
• 40:39
  tongues. You know, I just saw that man. The word
• 40:44
  that came to my heart, he said, You know, he
• 40:50
  called the lady and told her, pray in tongues,
• 40:51
  pray, pray, pray. And the lady seriously prayed
• 40:55
  in tongues. In fact, she fervently prayed that
• 40:57
  prayer. And he now said, can anybody come and
• 41:01
  come and interpret it? You have not seen it?
• 41:04
  It's somewhere online. I saw it some time ago.
• 41:07
  Yes. I felt pain in my heart. And you know the
• 41:14
  scripture he read? It's that place. We are coming
• 41:17
  to it in Acts chapter 14. That if there be no
• 41:19
  interpreter. He now ridiculed tongues there.
• 41:29
  He ridiculed. He even ridiculed the lady too.
• 41:39
  No Allah. We are here. That's why we are here.
• 41:44
  Praise God. See, that's why I'm here. Yes, that's
• 41:47
  why we're here. Amen? Yes, are we all here? Yes,
• 41:53
  wrong point. Where did we stop? Okay, in six,
• 42:05
  right? Okay, perfect now. Good, good, good, good,
• 42:09
  good, good, good, good. So you see, Paul would
• 42:13
  have not been contradicting himself because all
• 42:15
  the while, Paul has been encouraging, pray in
• 42:18
  tongues, interpret, prophesy. Pray in tongues,
• 42:21
  interpret, prophesy. I would have loved that
• 42:23
  we read the whole chapter. Right? Probably that's
• 42:26
  the last thing we'll do. Please remind me. Remind
• 42:28
  me, please, that we're going to read the whole
• 42:30
  chapter and then we get into what we're going
• 42:32
  to do after learning all these things. Amen?
• 42:35
  Good. So now, So we now see that from his teaching,
• 42:45
  that tongues followed by interpretation is what?
• 42:48
  Is prophecy. It brings edification. Praise God.
• 42:53
  So we can say, when a believer prays in tongues
• 42:57
  and interprets the tongues, it serves the same
• 43:01
  purpose with prophecy. It's not that prophecy
• 43:04
  is greater than what? Than tongues and interpretation
• 43:07
  of tongues. When a believer prays in tongues,
• 43:12
  right? And then interpret the tongues, it serves
• 43:16
  what? The same purpose. With what? With prophecy.
• 43:21
  The same purpose. And what's the purpose? What's
• 43:26
  the purpose? Edification. Edification. Because
• 43:33
  verse 6 says, in verse 6 he said, if I come to
• 43:37
  you speaking with tongues, what shall I? Profit
• 43:40
  you. That word profit is the word Ophelio. Ophelio
• 43:45
  means useful, advantageous, benefit. Ophelio.
• 43:49
  O -P -H -E -L -E -O. O -P -H -E -L -E -O. Profit.
• 44:03
  That word profit is Ophelio, which implies useful,
• 44:07
  advantageous. So what Paul would be emphasizing,
• 44:18
  right? Is that our participation in tongues and
• 44:25
  interpretation of tongues brings advantage. Our
• 44:31
  participation in tongues and interpretation of
• 44:33
  tongues brings what? Advantage. Oh, it brings
• 44:37
  usefulness. Hallelujah. It brings benefits. Praise
• 44:44
  God. It brings benefits. Are we all here? So
• 45:19
  in that verse 6, he ended by saying something
• 45:21
  there. He said, Except I shall speak to you either
• 45:25
  by what? Revelation. By what? Knowledge. Or by
• 45:30
  what? Prophesying. Or by what? Or by doctrine.
• 45:36
  That word revelation is translated from the word
• 45:39
  apocalypses, which implies disclosure. Right?
• 45:45
  Disclosure. Apocalypses. To disclose something.
• 45:49
  Praise God. Apokalupsis. Which implies disclosure.
• 46:01
  So it means that interpretation carries what?
• 46:04
  Revelation. Interpretation carries what? Revelation.
• 46:09
  Disclosure. He said, oh, I speak to you by knowledge.
• 46:16
  Which we know. Gnosis. G -N -O -S -I -S. Right?
• 46:23
  Which implies insight or experiential knowledge
• 46:28
  of facts, places, people, events, time. Much
• 46:32
  more. God's words. Praise God. Knowledge. Gnosis.
• 46:38
  G -N -O -S -I -S. Which implies what? Insight.
• 46:47
  Experiential knowledge of facts. So insight to
• 46:51
  facts, places, people, events, time, but much
• 46:55
  more what? God's word. Praise God. Are we all
• 47:00
  here? So all these now, I'm saying them because
• 47:02
  you use the common language to be able to explain
• 47:06
  them so that the mind can understand them. Then
• 47:09
  doctrine. We know doctrine. Amen? Yes. What is
• 47:13
  doctrine? What is doctrine? Which means what?
• 47:19
  Is it any teaching? General teaching? What? Specific
• 47:25
  teaching. Do you teach in tongues? And you say,
• 47:32
  yes. Yes. Say, I receive it. What are you receiving?
• 47:40
  How do you teach? Explanation. Praise God. Are
• 47:48
  we all here? Yes. So what Paul is saying is that
• 47:51
  he said tongues and interpretation of tongues,
• 47:55
  this is the benefit. So when I come to you in
• 48:00
  tongues, I have to also interpret it. I have
• 48:04
  to bring it also. If I'm not going to bring it
• 48:07
  in tongues and interpret, then I prefer to bring
• 48:11
  it by what? Revelation. I prefer to bring it
• 48:14
  by what? Knowledge. I prefer to bring it by what?
• 48:18
  Doctrine. Hallelujah. Praise God. So are we all
• 48:26
  here? So, with all these things that we have
• 48:31
  said, we know now that it's the believer that
• 48:36
  prophesies and it's the believer that also what?
• 48:39
  Prays in tongues and interprets what? Tongues.
• 48:45
  1 Corinthians 14, 26. Verse 5. We've been reading
• 48:51
  verse 5. Verse 24. Verse 24. See verse 24. But
• 48:58
  if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth
• 49:00
  not, or one unlearned, what will happen to him?
• 49:06
  He is what? He is what? Why do you think he's
• 49:10
  convinced? Why do you think he's convinced? He
• 49:27
  will what? In what he understands. So you go
• 49:38
  to evangelize or you go, we are going to even
• 49:41
  have it now in the next few minutes now. Because
• 49:44
  we are going to pray. We'll take some time and
• 49:47
  pray. And then you're going to speak. You're
• 49:50
  going to give a word to someone here. Or to your
• 49:53
  brother or to your sister. Because the words
• 49:58
  you're going to give are what? Words that the
• 50:01
  mind can what? Understand. See 26. The same.
• 50:14
  Communication. How is it then brethren? When
• 50:16
  you come together, every one of you had a psalm,
• 50:18
  had a doctrine, had a tongue, had a revelation,
• 50:20
  had what? Interpretation. Let all what? Things
• 50:25
  be done unto a defying. Each one of you has an
• 50:35
  interpretation. Can you see that place in your
• 50:37
  verse? Each one of you. Each one of you. So when
• 50:42
  all of you, Come together. You know, the same
• 50:45
  way all of you have a tongue, all of you also
• 50:48
  have a what? Interpretation. See that verse carefully.
• 50:52
  He said, each one of you. Praise God. 31. Also,
• 51:03
  for ye may all what? Prophesy. Can you see? All,
• 51:10
  all, all, all, all, all. Each one of you. Every
• 51:13
  one of you, everyone, everyone, ye may all do
• 51:17
  what? Prophesy. So you all, all of us in this
• 51:23
  room have the ability to what? To prophesy. We've
• 51:30
  read that in 1 Corinthians 12, 10, right? We've
• 51:33
  read that in 1 Corinthians 14, 5, 14, 26, 14,
• 51:36
  27. You will see the same thing. Hallelujah.
• 51:43
  Praise God. Praise God. So now, verse 12 and
• 51:51
  13. Yes, it is beautiful. Verse 12 and 13. Even
• 51:56
  so ye, for as much as ye are zealous of spiritual
• 51:59
  gifts, seek that ye may excel to what? To the
• 52:04
  edifying of what? Can you see? Seek that ye may
• 52:08
  excel to what? To the edifying of the church.
• 52:11
  13, everybody. Wherefore, let's read together.
• 52:16
  Let him that pray that he may let him that speaketh
• 52:24
  in tongue pray that his pastor interprets. Is
• 52:29
  that what the scripture is saying? Let him that
• 52:32
  speaks in tongues pray that what his sister will
• 52:37
  interpret. Who does the interpretation? The speaker.
• 52:41
  Who does the speaking? The speaker. Right? Perfect.
• 52:44
  Hallelujah. But you see, that word there, he
• 52:49
  said that even so, for as much as ye are zealous,
• 52:53
  can you see zealous, right? Good. Perfect. You
• 52:57
  know, this church, you know, we read in verse
• 53:00
  1, chapter 1, verse 1, that they are not, they
• 53:03
  have never come behind, you know what? In no
• 53:05
  gifts. So, now, if Paul is even as much as ye
• 53:09
  are what? zealous. He's a child that desires
• 53:14
  the spirituals. Seek that ye may excel to the
• 53:18
  edifying of what? That what, even so, just similarly
• 53:22
  means that in the same way. Because he has been
• 53:25
  talking from verse 11. So as he's reading verse
• 53:28
  12, right? He say, even so, similarly, that what
• 53:34
  even so means, similarly, in the same way. Are
• 53:41
  you all with me? Are you all with me? Yeah, so
• 53:44
  in 12, in 11, he said, therefore I know, I know,
• 53:48
  if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall
• 53:51
  be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he
• 53:53
  that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me. Without
• 53:56
  interpretation now. Verse 12, see verse 12 now.
• 53:59
  Even so, similarly, in the same way, praise God.
• 54:11
  You should seek that you may excel to edify in
• 54:14
  what? Of the church. That what ye may excel is
• 54:18
  the word periso. Ye may excel is the word periso.
• 54:24
  Well, we are coming now to the last part of this
• 54:28
  foundation that we have laid on interpretation
• 54:32
  of tongues. That what ye may excel is periso.
• 54:37
  P -E -R -I -S -S -E -U -O. P -E -R -I -S -S -E
• 54:44
  -U -O. Berisu. And which implies to be in abundance,
• 54:50
  to be in excess. Hallelujah. To be in abundance,
• 54:56
  to be in what? To be in excess. Have we written
• 55:02
  that? 1 Corinthians, now that verse 13 says,
• 55:05
  Wherefore, let him that speaketh in an unknown
• 55:08
  tongue pray that he may what? The word that.
• 55:13
  The word that. Let him that. Speak it in an unknown
• 55:19
  tongue. Pray that he may interpret. That word
• 55:23
  is hina. H -I -N -A. Hina. Which means in order.
• 55:30
  So as. That word that. It means in order. So
• 55:37
  as. So when we say the one that, wherefore him
• 55:50
  that speaketh in an unknown tongue, what will
• 55:52
  happen what? Yeah, so he is the person. So as
• 55:56
  to what? Also interpret that tongue. We are coming
• 56:00
  to it now. So that word pray. Right? So when
• 56:04
  we read now, everybody now, stay with me. We
• 56:07
  have established that the word seek is what?
• 56:12
  Okay, yeme excel is what? To be in abundance,
• 56:15
  to be in excess or what? Yeah, excess or increase.
• 56:21
  So the word seek, please put this now. I forgot
• 56:23
  to tell us this now. The word seek. To seek,
• 56:26
  to excel. Seek. That word seek is Z -E -T -E
• 56:32
  -O. Z -E -T -E -O. Z -E -T -E -O. Which implies
• 56:37
  to desire strongly. To desire strongly. to be
• 56:45
  eager and forward about something or to go after
• 56:50
  something. That word seek is not a mere desire.
• 56:54
  That word seek is to desire something strongly.
• 57:05
  Are we all there? Are we all there? So now, having
• 57:12
  established that, Even so, similarly, for as
• 57:17
  much as zealous of spiritual gifts, that ye may
• 57:19
  what? Excel. That ye may be in abundance to the
• 57:24
  edifying of the what? Of the church. He didn't
• 57:27
  stop that communication there. How will that
• 57:30
  happen? How will you excel when it comes to edifying
• 57:34
  the church? That's what Paul would now say in
• 57:36
  verse 13. Praise God. How will I excel? How will
• 57:40
  I be in abundance when it comes to what? to the
• 57:44
  edifying of the church. Now, Paul will say in
• 57:46
  verse 13, when you pray in tongues, what should
• 57:49
  you do? You should also what? You should also
• 57:54
  pray that you should what? Interpret. That word
• 57:57
  pray is not saying that you should go, Lord,
• 58:00
  I need interpretation. I need interpretation.
• 58:04
  Oh, I think I did not get it. Interpretation
• 58:08
  did not come. You know, that's what's happening
• 58:11
  to us. When we say, can you give a what? You
• 58:13
  say, ah, sir, sir, there is no word. In fact,
• 58:20
  let me say something now, much more, stronger
• 58:22
  now. You know, you know, sometimes some people
• 58:25
  think when we say, can you give a word? And then
• 58:27
  they go, sure. Inside their mind, they say, ah,
• 58:33
  you should not come here to, you know, come.
• 58:35
  Ah, they will not get it. Ah, up to now, nothing,
• 58:41
  nothing, nothing. Ah, finally. Light don't show.
• 58:46
  Ah, my son, my son. Oh, I want you to do this.
• 58:52
  Hey. See, when you pray and then you give interpretation,
• 59:05
  it's not like you're using a charm to bring out
• 59:08
  the interpretation. Do you know? When we say
• 59:12
  you should give a word. You can come and don't
• 59:14
  need to pray. You can come and don't need to
• 59:16
  do. Finally. The Lord said. You don't need it.
• 59:28
  All we are just saying is. Every time you pray
• 59:30
  in tongues. There should be what? Interpretation.
• 59:33
  So which means. You can receive instruction in
• 59:38
  your heart without necessarily coming to do keko,
• 59:42
  ko, ko, ko, ko, ko, ko. Then interpretation comes.
• 59:47
  Because I realize it's almost like when we call
• 59:49
  people to come and give a word, they will now
• 59:52
  say, they're first now, they say, oh, that's
• 59:55
  Pastor Victor. I think my tongue should be higher.
• 59:59
  Rubber. What has come? No. Praise God. Why we
• 1:00:14
  are saying, or why you see, when we say give
• 1:00:17
  a word, and people just come and pray in tongues,
• 1:00:20
  and pray in tongues, they are just setting precedence
• 1:00:22
  to the interpretation. Simple. Amen? There is
• 1:00:27
  nothing more. Because so that you don't feel
• 1:00:31
  as though if I don't pray in tongues, the interpretation
• 1:00:33
  will not what? Will not come. Or when we say,
• 1:00:37
  give a word. Is it because, ah, I don't have
• 1:00:40
  a word to, but two minutes, two minutes. Ah,
• 1:00:44
  it has come. Say, I have the Holy Ghost in me.
• 1:00:49
  I have the Holy Ghost in me. I have the Holy
• 1:00:52
  Ghost in me. I have the instructions of the Holy
• 1:00:54
  Spirit in my spirit. Hallelujah. It's in your
• 1:00:59
  spirit. There are people that I was just chatting
• 1:01:04
  with them and then suddenly it was almost like
• 1:01:07
  my eyes just got open. And then the discussion
• 1:01:10
  changed. Has that happened to you? You're just
• 1:01:14
  talking and then suddenly so much, so much instructions,
• 1:01:17
  promptings just flood your heart. And then changes
• 1:01:20
  the direction of discussion. I've been telling
• 1:01:22
  them something. I say, I've been praying about
• 1:01:24
  it for a long time. How did you get it? By the
• 1:01:27
  Spirit of God. Did you pray in tongues? Did you
• 1:01:28
  type in tongues? Did you type it on the listening?
• 1:01:33
  And how did you give them the instruction? Or
• 1:01:37
  you told them, give me two minutes, please. Let
• 1:01:38
  me chat up. Praying in tongues before interpretation
• 1:01:42
  or giving a word is not chatting up. You're not
• 1:01:47
  doing it to chat up. Praise God. Are we all here?
• 1:01:52
  Are we all here? So now, when I pray in tongues,
• 1:01:57
  it's my spirit that is praying. We have seven
• 1:02:02
  minutes now. Okay, it has become six. When I
• 1:02:05
  pray in tongues, it's my spirit that is what?
• 1:02:09
  That is praying. It's my spirit that is praying.
• 1:02:21
  Sorry, I did not finish this part. Verse 13,
• 1:02:24
  what Paul is saying, and you do not remind me.
• 1:02:27
  Okay. Okay. So, in verse 13, what Paul was saying
• 1:02:34
  is not that you are going to pray to interpret,
• 1:02:36
  amen? What he was just saying is that what? He's
• 1:02:38
  saying that wherefore let him that speaketh in
• 1:02:40
  an unknown tongue, right? That won't pray there.
• 1:02:44
  He's not saying you should do what? You should
• 1:02:46
  go and pray for interpretation. Because already
• 1:02:49
  he has started a text. There's a communication
• 1:02:51
  from verse 12. Are we all here? And that communication
• 1:02:54
  is that what? To edify the church. So what he's
• 1:02:58
  saying is that, wherefore let him that speaketh
• 1:03:00
  in an unknown tongue also desire to what? To
• 1:03:03
  interpret. Praise God. Before you say, oh, let
• 1:03:16
  me pray. You don't need to. Interpretation is
• 1:03:19
  in your spirit. Hallelujah. Praise God. So when
• 1:03:24
  I pray in tongues, it's my spirit that is what?
• 1:03:27
  That is praying. Say my spirit. My spirit is
• 1:03:33
  praying when I pray in tongues. And I have interpretation
• 1:03:36
  for the tongues. The same thing we see him say
• 1:03:43
  in verse 2. How be it in the spirit he speaketh
• 1:03:50
  what? He speaketh mysteries. How be it in the
• 1:03:54
  spirit? The same we see in verse 14 and verse
• 1:03:59
  15. Wherefore, if I pray in an unknown tongue,
• 1:04:02
  my spirit, what? Pray it, but my understanding
• 1:04:05
  is, what is it then? I will pray with, and I
• 1:04:09
  will pray with the understanding also. I will
• 1:04:12
  sing with, and I will sing with the understanding
• 1:04:16
  also. So that word the spirit in verse 2 is the
• 1:04:22
  same that we see him talking about in verse 14
• 1:04:24
  and what? And verse 15. Praying in the spirit
• 1:04:29
  means praying in tongues. Are you hearing me?
• 1:04:35
  Praying in the spirit means what? Praying in
• 1:04:38
  what? In tongues. So can we be inspired by the
• 1:04:50
  Spirit to pray? Yes. Ephesians chapter 1 verse
• 1:04:58
  15. Ephesians chapter 1 verse 15. Wherefore I
• 1:05:09
  also, after I have heard of your faith in the
• 1:05:12
  Lord Jesus and love for all the saints. See what
• 1:05:15
  Paul will say. What is the next thing? After
• 1:05:17
  he has heard this. What is the next thing in
• 1:05:20
  verse 16? I cease not to do what? To give thanks
• 1:05:25
  for you, making mention of you in my what? In
• 1:05:29
  my prayers. This communication, was it in tongues?
• 1:05:33
  Was it in tongues? Was it in tongues? No, it
• 1:05:39
  wasn't in tongues. Amen? But what he had regarding
• 1:05:45
  their faith, right? Inspire him to be able to
• 1:05:48
  do what? To pray for them much more. Hallelujah.
• 1:05:53
  Praise God. Then now, Philippians 1 verse 3.
• 1:06:01
  Philippians 1 verse 3. I thank my God upon what?
• 1:06:07
  Remembrance of you. Always in every prayer of
• 1:06:10
  mine for you. For you. All making requests with
• 1:06:17
  what? With joy. Hallelujah. So when you see verse
• 1:06:22
  9. And this I pray that your love may abound
• 1:06:25
  yet more and more in the knowledge and in all
• 1:06:28
  what? And in all judgment. Verse 11. Be filled
• 1:06:33
  with the fruit of righteousness which are by
• 1:06:35
  Jesus Christ unto the glory and praise of what?
• 1:06:38
  Of God. Hallelujah. Ephesians 6 verse 18 now.
• 1:06:45
  So that we can put a context to it and then we
• 1:06:47
  see. Ephesians 6 verse 18. Yes. Ephesians 6 verse
• 1:06:54
  18. Are we all there? See now. Praying always
• 1:06:57
  with all what? Prayer and supplication where?
• 1:07:01
  In the spirit. First, he has established that
• 1:07:04
  praying always with all prayer. Then now he moves
• 1:07:09
  on to say and supplication in what? In the spirit.
• 1:07:14
  In the spirit. So he will say, if I pray in an
• 1:07:22
  unknown tongue, my spirit, what? Pray it, but
• 1:07:25
  my understanding is what? Is unfruitful. So every
• 1:07:29
  time you pray in the spirit, what is happening
• 1:07:32
  is that your understanding is what? Is unfruitful.
• 1:07:35
  That what your understanding is unfruitful is
• 1:07:38
  that your mind cannot be able to understand what
• 1:07:42
  is being uttered. So I will pray in the spirit
• 1:07:46
  and I will interpret that prayer. Praise God.
• 1:07:52
  Because some people say praying in the spirit
• 1:07:54
  means, you know, praying in English language.
• 1:07:57
  You are in the spirit. We know you are in the
• 1:07:59
  spirit. Hallelujah. Say I'm in the spirit. I'm
• 1:08:03
  in the spirit. I'm in the spirit. And when I
• 1:08:07
  pray, I pray by the spirit of God. You are in
• 1:08:10
  the spirit. Hallelujah. But when you pray in
• 1:08:13
  tongues, your understanding is what? Is unfruitful.
• 1:08:17
  That's prayers. For example, when we say, can
• 1:08:19
  we pray? I say, Father, Lord, thank you for life.
• 1:08:23
  Thank you for strength. Thank you for salvation.
• 1:08:25
  Thank you. What is happening is that you are
• 1:08:27
  praying in your understanding. Are you all with
• 1:08:33
  me? Are you all with me? When we say, sing in
• 1:08:37
  the spirit. That's the last thing that will hit
• 1:08:39
  us. When we say sing in the spirit, singing in
• 1:08:43
  the spirit is making melody with tongues. And
• 1:08:51
  when we say sing with your understanding, we
• 1:08:54
  are talking about singing with intelligible words
• 1:08:57
  that your mind can understand. Amen? Why? Because
• 1:09:19
  when we say you are praying with understanding,
• 1:09:20
  it means that you are praying with human language.
• 1:09:22
  That's the right word to use. You are praying
• 1:09:24
  with what? With human language. Praise God. In
• 1:09:28
  a language that is intelligible to the mind.
• 1:09:32
  So what Paul will say is that I will pray in
• 1:09:34
  the spirit. I will also pray in my what? In my
• 1:09:37
  understanding. I will sing in the spirit. I will
• 1:09:40
  also sing in what? In my understanding. Hallelujah.
• 1:09:44
  So when I sing in the spirit and I interpret
• 1:09:48
  that singing, it's already what? It brings what?
• 1:09:52
  Clarity, explanation to what? To the understanding.
• 1:09:55
  That's why I say my understanding is unfruitful.
• 1:09:58
  That idea your understanding is unfruitful is
• 1:10:01
  that your mind cannot what? Comprehend it. Hallelujah.
• 1:10:05
  Praise God. Praise God. Are we all here? Are
• 1:10:10
  we all here? So when he said, I will sing in
• 1:10:17
  the spirit, he's just making melody, right? You
• 1:10:21
  know, singing has melody. Yes or no? Yes. So
• 1:10:24
  when we say singing in the spirit, what we are
• 1:10:27
  just saying is that you are what? You are praying
• 1:10:30
  in tongues. Let me say it this way so that you
• 1:10:32
  can understand what I'm saying. You are praying
• 1:10:34
  in tongues, but with a melody. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
• 1:10:38
  This one is new again. It's not new. Praise God.
• 1:10:43
  You people follow all these people that sing
• 1:10:46
  with chants. Don't do like you don't know. Immediately
• 1:10:51
  they want to start it out. You know, as the piano
• 1:10:54
  just give one sound. It has now become like an
• 1:11:00
  anthem. Even though most of them don't even know
• 1:11:03
  what they are doing. He said, sir, why are you
• 1:11:06
  saying like that? Yes. Because what they now
• 1:11:09
  sing after saying that is not the interpretation
• 1:11:11
  of those tongues. Yes. How do I know it? By scriptures.
• 1:11:20
  Yes. Okay, chance, chance. Okay. It's a chance.
• 1:11:28
  Let's rise to our feet. As they rise to our feet,
• 1:11:32
  explore and smile. Huh? Huh? Reading of chapter
• 1:11:42
  14. Oh, I love you. Thank you. Let's rise to
• 1:11:47
  our feet and ready to stand. So when we say sing,
• 1:11:51
  sing in the spirit, right? When we say sing in
• 1:11:57
  the spirit, praise God. Maybe some of you have
• 1:11:59
  even done it. Amen. is that I'm going to sing
• 1:12:04
  with tongues. I'm going to make melody with tongues
• 1:12:07
  and then give meaning to it. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
• 1:12:11
  Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. He says,
• 1:12:15
  sir, but there is no keyboard now. You don't
• 1:12:18
  need keyboard. He says, sir, but I need guitar.
• 1:12:20
  Sir, you know, my type, I need guitar. One string
• 1:12:24
  instruments need to happen. Then the thing will
• 1:12:28
  now stay up. You don't need it. Say, I already
• 1:12:33
  have the melody that I need for singing in the
• 1:12:38
  spirit within me. Hallelujah. I'm already singing
• 1:13:14
  in the spirit As I'm doing like this, he says,
• 1:13:19
  sir, how about the interpretation? I can give
• 1:13:21
  accurate interpretation to what I'm singing right
• 1:13:24
  now. I'm just giving a practical for us so that
• 1:13:28
  we can understand. Is that I give melody to the
• 1:13:31
  tongues. Hallelujah. I give melody to what? To
• 1:13:34
  the tongues. So you can be, you can be on the
• 1:13:36
  streets and you are moving. You can be on the
• 1:13:39
  streets. Or one worry, I just perceive in my
• 1:13:42
  heart now, one worry wants to just swallow you
• 1:13:45
  up. I will never be afraid. For the Lord is holding
• 1:14:08
  my right hand. And he's saying, child, never
• 1:14:12
  be afraid. I am with you. I'm here to help you.
• 1:14:16
  I'm here to guide you. I'm here to instruct you.
• 1:14:21
  My joy is in you. My peace is in you. Your heart.
• 1:14:28
  You see. I'm already doing it. And I'm interpreting
• 1:14:31
  it. You say. How do I know? By the spirit of
• 1:14:37
  God. By the spirit of God. By the Spirit. This
• 1:14:42
  is interpretation. You are the one. Interpretation
• 1:14:44
  is inside you. By the Spirit of God. All that
• 1:14:46
  we have discussed is prophecy. If we have to
• 1:14:49
  teach prophecy, you realize that it's just going
• 1:14:51
  back over and over again. So the same way. Hallelujah.
• 1:14:58
  Hear me now. Hear me now. And then we're going
• 1:15:00
  to flow. Don't worry. Today, whatever is happening
• 1:15:04
  is conscious. Praise God. I realized some people
• 1:15:09
  are already stretching. They say, ah, today.
• 1:15:11
  Thank God. Tomorrow. You know, I also always
• 1:15:14
  say, tomorrow is the last day. Praise God. Where
• 1:15:19
  you should be saying, we need one more week.
• 1:15:24
  You see some people say, ah, ah. I told some
• 1:15:30
  people that we're going to pray for 36 hours.
• 1:15:35
  They wanted to run away. I said, no. We're going
• 1:15:37
  to do it. Is it non -stop? Of course. Non -stop.
• 1:15:43
  That's it. Yes. Yes. Non -stop. Just a few weeks
• 1:15:54
  ago, with some people, we prayed from morning,
• 1:15:56
  nine hours. Just a few weeks now. God had it
• 1:16:01
  six hours, just a few weeks ago. Just a few days
• 1:16:04
  ago. Non -stop. Non -stop. Non -stop. Non -stop.
• 1:16:14
  So tell me, how is this pharmacy going to die?
• 1:16:17
  How is it going to die now? What will kill it?
• 1:16:22
  Nothing will kill it. Nothing. Who told you to
• 1:16:27
  do it? We just got a prompting in our heart.
• 1:16:28
  It seemed good in our heart. Let's do it. Oh.
• 1:16:32
  I just got a word for somebody. Let doing the
• 1:16:34
  things of the Spirit seem good to your heart.
• 1:16:37
  At your own location, let it seem good to your
• 1:16:40
  heart. You're staying in Lefkosha one of these
• 1:16:44
  days. Say, you know what? Every day, I'm going
• 1:16:46
  to leave my house. I'm going to leave that bed.
• 1:16:48
  I'm going to pace around the whole area. I'll
• 1:16:52
  be praying in tongues. I'll be singing. I'm going
• 1:16:56
  to sing. Let me tell you something in case you
• 1:16:59
  don't know. There is no place I've not trekked
• 1:17:01
  in this Lefkosha. There is no place. I tell you
• 1:17:08
  this. My wife, when we move around, I tell her,
• 1:17:11
  I say, you see, from Merit, I've trekked to Gonyele.
• 1:17:16
  Most of the time, Pastor Chidi says, most of
• 1:17:18
  them that we stay together, I say, I'm coming,
• 1:17:19
  I need to just go around and this thing. There
• 1:17:22
  is no place I've not trekked in this Lefkosha.
• 1:17:25
  So sometimes I say, they say, walk. He says,
• 1:17:27
  my leg. What is happening to your leg? He says,
• 1:17:31
  what are you doing? Praying, praying, praying.
• 1:17:35
  I'm in CIU. There is no place in CIU where I
• 1:17:38
  have not walked praying. My wife is here. She
• 1:17:43
  will tell you, for the past two, three months,
• 1:17:44
  we've been praying every night. Every, the whole
• 1:17:48
  of CIU. Every night. One hour, at least 15, 20
• 1:17:52
  minutes. Every night, praying. What will kill
• 1:17:56
  this fire now? What will kill it? Nothing can
• 1:18:03
  kill it. Let me tell you, Jesus will ensure that
• 1:18:07
  nothing kills it. He says, you love the things
• 1:18:15
  of the spirit. He does not love the things of
• 1:18:17
  the spirit. You don't know what he's doing regarding
• 1:18:19
  the things of the spirit. What you're just seeing
• 1:18:21
  there is just the outside part. God is using
• 1:18:27
  you for the work of ministry. Hallelujah. And
• 1:18:30
  those things cannot happen on your bed. Those
• 1:18:37
  things are what is experienced here. You just
• 1:18:40
  sit down from morning to now. You are shaking
• 1:18:42
  body. You are doing like this. So you now, when
• 1:18:44
  we use organized camp meeting and you want to
• 1:18:46
  do work of ministry, we will take nations. We
• 1:18:48
  will take nations. This is how you make nations.
• 1:18:53
  We said we'll do nine to nine. He said, ah, nine
• 1:18:55
  to nine. Oh boy. Say, I do greater works than
• 1:19:02
  the pastors of NECF. Ah, say it now. Are you
• 1:19:11
  people unbelievers? Say, I do greater works than
• 1:19:18
  the pastors of NECF. Yeah, so if we are organizing
• 1:19:22
  catatismus from 9 to now, you're going to organize
• 1:19:25
  it 24 hours. 6 to 6, 6 to 7, 6 to 12. What are
• 1:19:35
  you telling me? It was the last catatismus year
• 1:19:39
  that we were playing. And one of the pictures
• 1:19:41
  that I got here, and one of the instructions
• 1:19:42
  I got, that the next place God is going to take
• 1:19:45
  us to, one of the things we're going to establish,
• 1:19:47
  that we're going to go around every university.
• 1:19:51
  Every university will not escape us. Every university
• 1:19:55
  will not escape us. You are doing ministry like
• 1:20:02
  this. You are here. You are still struggling.
• 1:20:04
  Oh boy. See, we're going to boil. We're going
• 1:20:10
  to boil hot regarding these matters. Praise God.
• 1:20:14
  And that is what we're going to do. The things
• 1:20:15
  that we're going to do in the next one hour,
• 1:20:17
  30 minutes or 20 minutes. When we say pray in
• 1:20:21
  tongues, pray. When you return home, because
• 1:20:23
  tomorrow we're going to pray from morning till
• 1:20:25
  evening. In fact, I don't know whether there
• 1:20:27
  is five boss or what boss is the last boss. If
• 1:20:30
  the last boss is 10 boss, we're going to take
• 1:20:31
  it to 10. You see? This night, as we're going
• 1:20:42
  to do the things, this night, when you go home,
• 1:20:45
  drop your Bible, take some time out later after
• 1:20:47
  resting, eating, buffing, right? Later in the
• 1:20:50
  night, take some time out. Say, Pastor Custon,
• 1:20:52
  let me try out something. I'm going to take...
• 1:20:54
  Yes, I'll take time out this night. I'm going
• 1:20:58
  to leave everything. I'll walk from my house
• 1:21:01
  to Alakoi. You know? You see? Somebody say, Gee,
• 1:21:06
  I walk to Alakoi. Praying. I can show you. He's
• 1:21:13
  there. I got the instruction. I wrote. I got
• 1:21:17
  the instruction even when I didn't know these
• 1:21:19
  locations. So I'm going to do it. Take time.
• 1:21:26
  Don't pray in English. Let me encourage you,
• 1:21:27
  please. Don't pray in your understanding. Pray
• 1:21:29
  in. Pray in. And. Interpret. Please drop your
• 1:21:38
  watch. Drop your phone. Because some of you want
• 1:21:40
  to time yourselves. Before you open your eyes.
• 1:22:03
  You are the runabout. Let me tell you, something
• 1:22:12
  is going to change inside you. See, let me tell
• 1:22:15
  you, you're going to feel you're already moving
• 1:22:18
  towards being you. You say, yes, you have not
• 1:22:22
  experienced it. I challenge you by the spirit
• 1:22:28
  of God. exercise yourselves much more in the
• 1:22:32
  things of the Spirit. If you want to see, many
• 1:22:35
  people have asked me, sir, how is it that you
• 1:22:37
  know things just like that? I don't just know
• 1:22:39
  things because I'm doing nothing about them.
• 1:22:42
  How do our pastors just know things? It's not
• 1:22:44
  like that. Pray more, pray more, pray more, pray
• 1:22:48
  more, pray more, pray more by the Spirit of God.
• 1:22:55
  It should not be casual. Matthew, remember that
• 1:23:07
  night that we splitted ourselves over Lefkosha?
• 1:23:12
  You know the other day I was driving around that
• 1:23:14
  Presumptual Palace? I said, we prayed about this
• 1:23:16
  land. We prayed everywhere here. Pray, pray,
• 1:23:20
  pray. So it should not just be just like that.
• 1:23:23
  Are we ready to do that? Are we ready to do that?
• 1:23:27
  You see, you are taking this thing lightly. You
• 1:23:29
  are taking your tomorrow lightly. You are taking
• 1:23:31
  the work of God in your life lightly. You are
• 1:23:33
  taking, Pastor Chidi is here. 2022, I had so
• 1:23:38
  many dreams. I prayed about them. I landed in
• 1:23:42
  Nigeria and all of them were a reality. You don't
• 1:23:48
  love ministry? You can't say you love Jesus and
• 1:23:51
  you don't love the work of faith. Because loving
• 1:23:54
  Jesus is equal to doing ministry. And doing ministry
• 1:24:02
  starts from how you participate in doing these
• 1:24:05
  things. It's how you go on with fire. There is
• 1:24:13
  no way in the scriptures that we are called nominal,
• 1:24:16
  normal Christian life. No. You realize that we
• 1:24:19
  are all supernatural. We are spiritual. Have
• 1:24:24
  you ever met any unserious native doctor? No,
• 1:24:28
  tell me. Have you ever seen any unserious native
• 1:24:30
  doctor? Even the one I met in this Cyprus, they
• 1:24:36
  threaten people. Say I'm spiritual. You are not
• 1:24:46
  too young. I just heard this now. Somebody say
• 1:24:48
  I'm young. You are not too young for the work
• 1:24:50
  of ministry. And it's going to happen here. This
• 1:24:54
  is the time to catch the fire. This is the time
• 1:24:57
  to pray more. This is the time to desire more.
• 1:24:59
  This is the time to see more. See more with the
• 1:25:01
  eyes of faith. Desire more with the eyes of faith.
• 1:25:04
  Can we pray in the Holy Ghost? You tell me you
• 1:25:08
  are young. You tell me that you are this. You
• 1:25:10
  tell me you are that. No! We have this deposit
• 1:25:17
  in our insides. We see fathers. We see mothers.
• 1:25:26
  We see children. No, no, no, no, no, no, no,
• 1:25:29
  no, no, no, no. We know better. We have received
• 1:25:32
  better. Please don't be doing... Boil with fire.
• 1:25:46
  Boil, boil, boil, boil, boil. Tomorrow, people
• 1:26:09
  will say we really contended for the work of
• 1:26:11
  faith. Pastor Victor gave us a testimony about
• 1:26:15
  his grandfather. Won one soul and the one soul
• 1:26:18
  became a huge vessel in God's hands. One man,
• 1:26:22
  15 years, one soul. Doing the same thing for
• 1:26:28
  15 years. You cannot just wake up and arrive
• 1:26:33
  like that. No. Without all this spiritual discipline
• 1:26:37
  and equipping, the work of God is in our hands
• 1:26:43
  and we are taking it. We are taking it. We are
• 1:26:46
  boiling fervently over it. You are not young.
• 1:26:56
  Oh no, I don't believe you are young. You are
• 1:27:00
  not young. It has nothing to do with your age.
• 1:27:05
  It has all to do with the knowledge that the
• 1:27:08
  Holy Ghost is in our insides. We're thankful
