PRAYING IN TONGUES IS KEY


But you, 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 : 20 AMPC).


PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME 


If you desire to improve yourself and operate at a higher level of spiritual maturity and efficacy, the Scripture tells you what to do: pray in tongues often. This will work for any area in which you desire to make tremendous progress and take giant strides, be it in your health, academics, jobs, business, or finances.


Even in contending for the souls of men, or interceding for those who have issues understanding the Word, or those who're dull in the things of the Spirit, praying in tongues is key! When you pray in tongues, the Holy Spirit gives you insight and specific guidance that you need to deal with the situation. You'd be able to discern whether you have said enough or if there is more to be said or done.


Also, in praying in tongues, learn to wait on the Lord, because what you need above all is direction—direction during or after the prayer. Sometimes, you may pray for a long time and experience spiritual changes, but no tangible changes manifest in the physical realm. Why? There may be specific actions or steps to be taken that you haven't accessed or discerned.


The Bible says, "The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant" (Psalm 25:14). So, the secret is kept for you. But if you don't access that secret and apply it to the specific situation, the situation may remain unchanged.


If you want to see amazing results and changes in your life and circumstances, speak in other tongues. You'll also be guided with the wisdom to know you've received the answers.


          CONFESSION


As I spend quality time to pray in tongues today, I'm improved, built up and edified; I operate at a new level of spiritual maturity and efficiency. I make tremendous progress and take giant strides in every area of my life. I'm sensitive to the leading of the Spirit, attentive to His prompting and signals, as I follow His guidance wholeheartedly, in Jesus' Name. Amen.


FURTHER STUDY:

1 Corinthians 14:2 AMPC; 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].


1 Corinthians 14:18;  I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:


Jude 1:20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

MONDAY AUGUST 26TH 2024 EXTRICATED FROM DEATH …who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel (2 Timothy 1:10).  PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME  The Bible records that in ancient times, humans lived for exceptionally long periods with lifespans exceeding 900 years. However, as sin increased, lifespans diminished. Genesis 6:3 says because of sin, man's lifespan was limited to 120 years. Moses, in his psalms, made an observation that due to sin, the typical lifespan of man was seventy years or eighty for those who were stronger. Even in old age, man’s life was filled with toil and sorrow, ultimately ending in death (Psalm 90:8-10). The Lord Jesus, however, came to address the root cause of this limitation, which is sin. Through His sacrifice, He provided salvation from sin and made eternal life possible. Eternal life includes “deathlessness.” When you were born again, you passed from death to life (John 5:24). Recall what we read in our them...

TUESDAY, JULY 1ST 2025 CUSTODIANS OF A MESSAGE THAT WORKS For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth... (Romans 1:16). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME  The Gospel of Jesus Christ that we preach is a message that truly works. It’s a message that produces undeniable results for everyone who believes it. It’s the reason you must be quick and bold to share it with others. I remember talking to a man who had a very severe heart condition. The doctors had diagnosed him with heart failure and said he needed a transplant. But as I shared the Gospel with him, I said, “While I’m talking with you, there’ll be a change in your heart. All you have to do is believe what I’m telling you; just believe and give me a few minutes of your attention.” He agreed. So, I kept talking to him, sharing with him the words of life. After about 15 minutes, I said to him, “It’s done.” And he replied, “Yes; it’s done.” The next test conducted on him ...
