*BENEFITS OF PRAYING IN OTHER TONGUES* (IV)
_Key Bible Text:_
*“But you, dear friends, carefully build yourselves up in this most holy faith by praying in the Holy Spiritâ€* (Jude 1:20 (The Message))
_Bible Insight:_
3) Praying in tongues edifies you:
“He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself…†(1 Coritnians 14:4)
Another important benefit of praying in tongues is that it brings forth spiritual edification. Man doesn’t have a spirit. Man is a spirit. The Holy Spirit resides in your spirit and edifies you from within. The word ‘edify‘ means to improve, build up (like building a house), strengthen, encourage, activate or stir up. It also means to charge. So, in the light of the above, speaking or praying in tongues:
-improves your life.
-builds you up like an edifice.
-strengthens you spiritually.
-encourages you by encouraging or enhancing the workings of the Holy Spirit in your life.
-stirs up or activates your inherent gifting and potentials.
-charges you up.
No wonder Paul, writing to Timothy, charged him to “fan into flame (stir up) the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands†(2Tim. 1:6). The way to do this is by praying in the Holy Ghost.
Apostle Jude also validated this spiritual principle by saying, “…beloved, build yourselves up [founded] on your most holy faith [make progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher], praying in the Holy Spirit†(Jude 1:20AMP).
We encourage the ministry of the Holy Spirit and activate our spirits for greater works of the Holy Spirit by praying in tongues.
_MEDITATION:_
*“Beloved, the promise and ministry of the Holy Spirit “belongs to you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the LORD our God shall call†(Acts 2:39). Jesus became curse for you by hanging on the cross so that you “might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith†(Gal. 3:14). Do you believe it?â€*
Activity: Join us virtually to pray in the Holy Ghost for 30 minutes on Saturday by 9:15pm. Join for more details https://chat.whatsapp.com/EngodKZoq9D4NhmtOWA6cC

*BENEFITS OF PRAYING IN OTHER TONGUES* (II)
_Key Bible Text:_
*“For one who speaks in an [unknown] tongue speaks not to men but to God, for no one understands or catches his meaning, because in the [Holy] Spirit he utters secret truths and hidden things [not obvious to the understanding]â€* (1cor.14:2(AMP)).
_Bible Insight:_
(2). Praying in tongues brings forth a revelation of God’s plans and purposes for our lives:-
When Spirit-filled believers come to me to tell them the will of God concerning any personal issues, my response is usually, “go, spend time praying in tongues and let God reveal His will to you“. I believe if Spirit-filled believers will spend time praying daily in tongues, they will have clarity about God’s plans for their lives.
My calling is NOT to tell people how to run their lives. I don’t want people coming to me to find out God’s will for their lives. My assignment is to teach people how to follow Jesus through a daily and consistent walk with the Holy Spirit.
I believe there are lots of things about us and the issues of our lives which God wants to reveal to us. The problem most of the times is that we don’t want to seek God for ourselves to find His plans and purposes for our lives, businesses, careers, churches and nations.
We’d rather run after someone else instead of God. In Jeremiah 33:3, God offers this proposition, “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not†(KJV). If you will seek God, He will reveal things to you. The agent by which God brings forth the revelation of His will is the Holy Spirit.
_MEDITATION:_
*“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.â€* (1 Corinthians 2:9-12 (KJV)).

*BENEFITS OF PRAYING IN OTHER TONGUES*
_Key Bible Text:_
*“So too the [Holy] Spirit comes to our aid and bears us up in our weakness; for we do not know what prayer to offer nor how to offer it worthily as we ought, but the Spirit Himself goes to meet our supplication and pleads in our behalf with unspeakable yearnings and groanings too deep for utteranceâ€* (ROM. 8:26 AMP).
_Bible Insight:_
(1). Praying in tongues brings forth the leading of the Holy Spirit:-
Exactly six years ago in 2013 while in school, I sensed an urge to pray ( I don’t know if you understand what I mean), so I spent the night in one of the lecture halls. Since I didn’t know exactly what to pray about, I decided to pray in other tongues. While I prayed, I found this words escaping my lips, “my mum will not die; she’ll live to declare the works of Godâ€. Though I didn’t understand why I should be saying such words concerning my mum since I left her that morning at the farm to return to school, but I kept repeating it because I knew it came from the Holy Spirit. As at the time I left, she was very fine.
When I got back home four days later, she told me that few moments after I bid her goodbye to return to school, her body system changed, and for the next 3 days, a neighbour of ours brought food for her and attended to her in bed. She couldn’t move out of the bed for 3 days.
But thank God for the ministry of the Holy Spirit. While I was miles away from her without any prior knowledge of her situation, the Holy Spirit led me to pray specifically for her according to the will of God.
_MEDITATION:_
*“I have still many things to say to you, but you are not able to bear them or to take them upon you or to grasp them now. But when He, the Spirit of Truth (the Truth-giving Spirit) comes, He will guide you into all the Truth (the whole, full Truth). For He will not speak His own message [on His own authority]; but He will tell whatever He hears [from the Father; He will give the message that has been given to Him], and He will announce and declare to you the things that are to come [that will happen in the future]. He will honor and glorify Me, because He will take of (receive, draw upon) what is Mine and will reveal (declare, disclose, transmit) it to youâ€* (Jn. 16:12-14AMP).
