SPIRITUAL WEAPONS OF WARFARE 22
Hello everyone, welcome to another edition of these broadcasts. I am going to continue from where I stopped yesterday. I started talking about Tongues yesterday.

It is the distinguishing feature between the Old and the New Testament. Jesus, the One that ushered in the New Testament was the first to speak in Tongues (I cited examples yesterday).
 Let's consider some benefits of speaking in Tongues relative to the subject under discussion.

BENEFITS OF SPEAKING IN TONGUES

A. HE THAT SPEAK IN TONGUES EDIFY HIMSELF. 1 Cor. 14:4

OIKODOME, the Greek word translated as 'edify' has many fantastic meanings;
 To edify;
To build up one's self like an edifice (a tall and gigantic building).
 One pastor said sometimes ago that when you pray in tongues, you become so tall that the demons will not be able to see your head. Heeeee!
It's wonderful to know that when you are down(in any aspects of life), you can always build yourself up by speaking in tongues. I am not talking about those five minutes prayer that you do as a religious rite. Sometimes, it may take hours. But, I can assure you, you will come out of the prayer better.
By the grace of God, I have not gone for medical treatment or taken any drug since 2003. It is too late to do that now. But, there are times when my body come under some intense sickness.
One of the keys of the Kingdom that I use is PRAYING IN TONGUES. I remember on one occasion during my service year, catarrh dealt with me seriously from morning till night. Oh my, it was serious. I have done all the confessions, rebuking, binding, etc. They didn't work. My fellow Corps members turned  me into a laughing stock when I told them 'I don't use drug, my body is immune to sickness and diseases'. I got mad with the way the catarrh was messing me up that I told them to give me some times to deal with it. I told them that I know a place where catarrh don't exist that I will take it there. They laughed at me when I left the house and hit the road to pray in tongues. My prayers were interrupted with many sneezing. But, it got to a point all the symptoms of catarrh began to take off. The running nose stopped and I was completely healed. I tried many times to try and force the liquid content of my nose to return but, they were no where to be found.

 There is a place in God where the dwellers thereof do not experience sicknesses and diseases. I live there. You can build up yourself whether you are down emotionally or spiritually.

OIKODOME also means to AUGMENT FAITH AND SPIRITUAL VIGOUR.
Jude  1:20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,. One of the things this scriptures means is that CONSISTENTLY PRAYING IN TONGUES WILL MAINTAIN YOU ON THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF YOUR FAITH WORKS. It means for example, if you have ever open a blind eye before, you will never  go below this stage as you pray consistently pray in tongues.

OIKODOME also means TO CHARGE ONE'S SELF AS A BATTERY.
God has given to us the provision of connecting our spirits to the Power House of God and receive energy. The same thing that happens to your phone when it is connected to the source of power is what happen to your spirit when you speak in tongues. Hallelujah! I can charge my spirits by praying in tongues.

OIKODOME means TO EMBOLDEN ONE'S SELF. When you pray in tongues, fear will disappear and faith will be present. You become bold and courageous as you pray in tongues. Hallelujah!

Speaking in tongues is A MEANS OF PRAYERS APART FROM YOUR UNDERSTANDING.
As a matter of fact, Paul rated Praying in Tongues over praying in understanding
 1Cor.14:15-17. Tongues is an Heavenly language full of rich vocabulary.  Hallelujah!

SPEAKING IN TONGUES IS GOD'S DIRECT HOTLINE.

It's good to know that when I pray in tongues, I am not talking to my neighbors but , to GOD. When I speak in tongues, I am not talking to you. If I need to talk to you, I will speak to you in a language that you. This answers all the critics that say 'you don't know what you are saying', speak in your native dialect'. In the first place, I am not even talking to you. Why must you understand what I am saying? Speaking in tongues is God's direct line.

YOUR PRAYERS ARE STRAIGHT TO THE POINT. ROM. 8:26. The Holy Spirit help our weaknesses and infirmities. We hit the nail on the head as we pray in tongues.

SPEAKING IN TONGUES IS THE BEST WAY TO PRAY ABOUT THE UNKNOWN. ROM. 8:26. Many times we don't even know what the prayer point should be. As we pray in tongues, the Holy Spirit takes hold together with us against every challenge that we face. Speaking in tongues is the best way to pray. In fact, Paul say you can give thanks in tongues.
Speaking in tongues is a spirit to SPIRIT communication.

I will continue tomorrow.

Prayer of Enquiry

By
PRAYER OF ENQUIRY Prayer is a well established and accepted doctrine in all denominations of the body of Christ. Although, there are differences in our modes of prayer, we all believe in the efficacy of lifting up our voice to God to hear our requests and answer them. As much as we do a lot of this, we don't take the full advantage of it as children of God. We would rather worry and think things through rather than calling on God for help. This can be due to lack of faith in the power of God or being slothful in prayers. Apart from the aforementioned factors that prevent us from enjoying the efficacy of prayers, one key factor that prayer hinges on is praying correctly. To pray correctly simply means to pray according to the will of God. It is easy to know the will of God about sickness and poverty because they are expressly written in bible, but even at this, we still do not get answers when we pray. What you might be missing out may be a simple enquiry. The prayer ...

Holy Spirit 15- The Seven Spirits of God- Part 2

By
We have established yesterday that the 7 Spirits of God describe the 7 fold distinct manifestation of the Holy Spirit and it also describes the perfection of the Spirit of God. The answer to yesterday's quiz is: when God stepped into the matter in Eden, the 7 persons brought by the number 7 are: Adam, Eve, Physical Serpent, spiritual Serpent (the Devil), the Seed of the Woman (Jesus the Christ), the seed of the spiritual serpent (Antichrist) and God Himself . Re- read Day 14 to know how this fit in. Today's Broadcast 2. THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM Is. 11:2, Eph. 1:17 This is the Spirit that reveals to you the PLANS AND PURPOSES OF GOD CONCERNING YOUR LIFE, A MATTER, PLACE, etc. If you will ever know why you are on earth, you need the operation of the Spirit of Wisdom. He reveals EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING about the future. There are 3 prominent Greek words used for Wisdom relevant to our subject; SOPHIA, SUNESIS and PHRONESIS. A. SOPHIA describes the entire wisdom of God. T...

Holy Spirit 4- The Symbol of Dove

By
Mt. 3:16, Mk. 1:10. This typifies the harmless and gentle nature of God the Holy Spirit. He neither FORCE NOR FUSS ANYONE. It is only the Devil that force people and even afflict them without their consent. The Holy Spirit IS NOT a dove; He created the dove. Luke 3:22 says 'the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form like a dove upon Him'. Many have wrongly interpreted this verse and that's why many church logos have the dove as an integral part of it. You need to know that the church can NEVER COME INTO HER FULL POTENTIAL AND RELEVANCE ON THE EARTH UNTIL SHE KNOWS (knowledge with participation-Greek EPIGNOSIS) the Holy Spirit. The person that designed the handbill for EPIGNOSIS Nite had already put a Dove there to represent 'the Holy Spirit'. I told him to remove it. The symbols in most cases are already becoming an idol in many people's hearts and rather than for many to think of the Holy Spirit as a person, they think of Him as a dove/fire/wind,etc. T...
