SPEAKING IN TONGUES

By -

THE MINISTERS CHAPEL INTERNATIONAL
TOPIC: SPEAKING IN TONGUES

TEXT: And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues. Mark 16:17
INTRODUCTION: When you are adopted and become the citizen of heaven, you must endeavor to speak in the language of such citizens. Christ said, those who believe in Him shall speak in tongues.
QUESTIONS/DISCUSSIONS
1.    THE NEW TONGUES: when Jesus said ‘new tongues’, he was referring to tongues not known to man irrespective of his tribe, tongues can can’t be learned like we learn the tongues of men.
2.    THE BENEFITS OF TONGUES IS FOR EVERY BELEIVER: your spirit speaks directly to God (2 Cor. 14:2,14), pray according to God’s will (Rom. 8:27), self edification (2Cor 14:4,18), your faith is built (Jude 20)
3.    SHOULD ALL SPEAK IN TONGUES? 1Cor 12:30 has confused many to believe that all shouldn’t speak in tongues, the reason being that they forget to understand that Paul was talking about the special gifts of speaking in diverse tongues and not the one we receive at baptism. When the 70 elders were baptized (Num 11:25), they all spoke in tongues (prophesy) and in (Acts 2:4) all the believers spoke in tongues. Christ says all believers shall speak in new tongues and Paul further said in 1 Cor. 14:23 that all can speak in tongues during a service.

CONCLUSION: the spirit of God takes over our tongues and we shouldn’t resist Him when He gives us utterances. A child of God can only be able to speak in tongues once he is baptized in the Holy Ghost. Desire to be baptized today, the promise is for you

EVIL

WHEN GOD ALLOWS EVIL ON THE RIGHTEOUS When Christ the righteous was allowed to be crucified in the midst of the guilty, He resurrected in Glory and the enemy was defeated and put to shame. God doesn’t allow evil come on the righteous except He has planned to use the devices of the evil against the righteous to put the evil planner to shame. When the wicked is prospering in his evil against the righteous, it’s because God wants to by the evil of the evil doer puts him to shame. If you have questions over the prosperity of wickedness over your life though you believe in God, think on why God allowed the devil succeeded in killing Christ and what happened afterwards, Christ resurrected in greater glory and the devil was forever defeated before Christ. As it was for Christ so it would be for you, that enemy that is prospering over your life now though you believe in God, will be brought low via his wickedness and you’ll resurrect to greater glory and restoration Pr 11:5 ¶ The

THE STRUGGLE FOR WHOM TO BELIEVE

By -
After a program back in Nigeria early last year, a woman met me by the car and wants me pray for her conception, since she had a first son, having another has been difficult. As I was about to pray for her, I told her she is now pregnant by the word of God (Ex 23:26). After few days, she called to say, she went for medical test and the report isn’t so, and I replied, God is far above medical science, she said ‘amen’. She went for test again after few more days and the result was negative and she called and told me its negative, I laughed and said, Doc’s of these days are so blind, they see things late. She was surprised at my reply. She went for the third test after few more days, and result was still negative but this time, she told herself, I am pregnant because God has said so and by that she rejected the doctor’s report of negativity and thus the fourth test announced itself; an experienced mother asked her, are you pregnant? Instead of saying no according to the doc,

ORDAINED TO BE FRUITFUL

By -
Someone said because of the suffering he was passing through that God has ordained it therefore he is going to accept the financial barrenness as part of God’s plan for him. (I will therefore present my discussion with him like a drama) Me: (I looked at him and asked him) how do you know this barrenness is God’s plan for you? He:   If it’s not God’s plan, why hasn’t God done anything about my situation? Me: How does God change or create a situation isn’t it by His word as in creation? He: Yes Me: Has He spoken that you’ll be barren in life through His word to you? He: Not actually, but that’s what am experiencing, that’s how I feel right now Me: If your experience and feeling isn’t in accordance to God’s word, then your feeling and experience is devilish Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. John 15:8 God is so happy when you are fruitful in life; when you give birth to kids, it excites God, when you get results in
