*DAILY DEW 30/OCTOBER/2023* *TONGUES* (IV) _Key Bible Text:_ *"To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another (divers) kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues."* (1 Corinthians 12:10) _Bible Insight:_ Do all speak in tongues? Yesterday we laid a foundation on this subject matter and explained Acts 2. We were able to explain “other tongues" and “new tongues" seeing that in the operation or manifestation of tongues there are diversities. So we even find that when Paul mentions this gift in his exegesis on spiritual gifts he states that they are diversities. Please note that the word “divers” is in the italic and isn’t in the original Greek. What we have is actually “kinds of tongues". So Paul is saying that the tongues have varieties. This already accommodates “other tongues" and “new tongues" as explained yesterday. I want us to examine the question-- Do all speak in tongues? To understand what Paul is saying here you need to get the context of 1 Cor. 12 - 1 Cor. 14. Paul begins to use the metaphor of the human body and the peculiar functions to explain the functions of the individual member of the body of Christ. This means we must view the gifts of the spirit via the lens of activities beneficial to the body. So just as the eyes seeing gives direction to the leg in walking, so also must the gifts manifested in the body be viewed as aiding the entire body. _MEDITATION:_ *If the body doesn’t edify itself then the body eventually gets diseased and then dies.* *#Olaleye_Oluwafemi* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_OCTOBER,2023* ❤ Links To Visit: *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
