“Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.” 1 Corinthians 12:4-5 In my early stage of Christianity, the gift of Tongues is one gift that I benefited allots from; yet I encountered several bashing concerning it from so many folks. Most of which, were those who had been in the race, years before me… But somehow, I seemed to take every other corrections, except giving up on speaking in tongues: both in privacy and in public. Then as I continued relentlessly and doggedly till now, the gift of Tongues have become one of my most profitable spiritual gifts. By the administration of the gift of tongues (personally), I can now pray for over an hour without vain repetitions. By its administration, when I’m faced with some stubborn temptations, as I open my mouth, in faith, I get instant deliverance from the Holy Spirit… Along the above line of deliverance from stubborn temptations, a few months ago, I was attacked by a very strong spirit of lust towards a lady, I was prospecting to marry. Then as I struggled on my own, the Holy Spirit gave me a word; and as I got the word, immediately, I got up and started speaking violently in other tongues… And presently, I felt the power of God move on my heart and cleansed the lustful feeling. And by the next time I saw the lady in question, she was like every other person to me. The lustful feeling I had towards her totally disappeared… More so, when I’m tempted with depression, as I open my mouth, speaking in other tongues, within a few minutes, my Joy of salvation is miraculously restored. By the manifestation of the gift of tongues, as I open my mouth to interpret by faith, I get some specific messages from God. By the manifestation of the gift of tongues, a few weeks ago, as my neighbor overhead me praying in other tongues, she placed her hand in the spot where she had pain, then by daybreak, the pain was totally gone. A few weeks back, as I prayed in other tongues and in understanding for my friend who was sick, I got a leading of the Holy Spirit to call him over the phone and pray for him for instant healing. As I did, presently, the power of God fell on him, and the medication he was to take, he left it and by daybreak, he was totally healed. I can go on and on, sharing all the miracles I have personally encountered by simply opening my mouth in faith to speak in other tongues. Yet so many folks in Christendom miss out on the blessings of God, accessible to them through speaking and praying in other tongues due to unbelief and religious brain-washing… Hence, this sermon seeks to point out, scripturally, the correct administration of this awesome gift, for personal edification. What Then Is The Gift Of Tongues For? Self-Edification- 1 Corinthians 14:2: It is for receiving comforting ministrations or messages from the Holy Spirit. Then it also means, receiving self-lifting, divine help from God in your Spirit. It is For Charging Up Your Faith- Jude 1:20. Which is to say, when you are faced with an issue, and you’re tempted with unbelief or fear, you clear them off instantly by speaking in other tongues. As you speak in other tongues, when you’re confronted with a situation, fear, unbelief, personal beliefs, are instantly replaced with a Holy Faith (God’s kind of Faith). Then along the same line, you can also apply tongues for stirring up the other spiritual gifts in you. For instance, Tongues can stir-up prophecy (through the interpretations). It can stir up the gift of healing and the rests… all of which, manifest by faith. You know, the Apostle Paul in the book of 2 Timothy 1:6; charges us to stir up the gifts of God in us. And one of the easiest ways to do that, is to be speaking more and more in other tongues, just like the Apostle Paul did (1 Corinthians 14:18). Tongues Is For Prayers- Romans 8:26; “Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.” Now with the gift of tongues, which is powered by the Holy Spirit himself, we can pray more effectively, with better results… and much, much, more. So forbid not to speak in other tongues… (1 Corinthians 14:39). For more teaching on the administration of Tongues, get Kenneth E. Hagin Book: “Tongues Beyond The Upper Room”.

“Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is heaven is perfect”—Matthew 5:48 From the above scripture, it is clear that God wants and demands perfection from all his servants and children alike. Because without it, we cannot have true fellowship or communion with him-both here on earth, and in the world to come. This particular position can be clearly seen from Psalms 24:3-5; it says: “Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? Or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of salvation.” Now with these points established, the first question that comes to mind is, can any man on earth, born of a woman, actually be perfect? The answer to this question is emphatic YES! If not, God would not have demanded it of us…. God will not want us to be what he knows is impossible. He knows it is possible and that’s why He asked us to be perfect. Although, he also knows it is impossible with the ordinary man-without his help. And that is why when His disciples found themselves asking this same question in the book of Matthew 19: 25-26, Jesus gave them the right answer. Here is what the bible says in that Matthew 19:25-26; “When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, who then can be saved? But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, with men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible” So with the help of God through his word and his Holy Spirit in us, we can actually achieve divine standard perfection. Now the perfection here, is not actually the perfection of the flesh, but the perfection of the heart or the spirit… Who Then Is The Perfect Man? The perfect man is the man with a perfect heart before God. The perfect man is the man whose sins have been washed by the blood of Jesus. The perfect man, is the man whose heart has been cleansed by the word of God (John15:3). The perfect man is the man who has made personal commitment, or dedication to absolute obedience to the words and directions of God. The perfect man, is the man who walks in the Spirit. That is, according to the dictates of the Holy Spirit. The perfect man is the man with a peaceful, free-flowing relationship with God. Then along the line of the flesh, he always through the help of the Spirit, subject or subdue the works of the flesh (Romans 8:13). In other words, the perfect man is not the man who never makes mistake. But the one who quickly repents, asks and receives forgiveness from God, immediately he defaults. When he defaults, or his sins are revealed to him by the Holy Spirit (conviction), he doesn’t make up excuses. Rather, he admits immediately and quickly repents. The perfect man is the man who is constantly making genuine efforts (physical and spiritual) to conform to the words and ways of God. Instead of twisting the truth of the scriptures to suit his/her lifestyle or ways… God will have us come to perfection, because that’s the only way to his kingdom, both here on earth and in the world to come, life everlasting… This sermon continues in the sermon titled: ‘What Makes a Perfect Heart’.

“THE WORD of the LORD came again unto me, saying, Son of Man, There were two women, the daughters of one mother: And they committed whoredoms in Egypt; they committed whoredoms in their youth: there were their breasts pressed, and there they bruised the teats of their virginity. And the names of them were Aholah the elder, and Aholibah her sister: and they were mine… Thus were their names; Samaria is Aholah, and Jerusalem Aholibah. And Aholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbors”—Ezekiel 23:1-5 (Read to the end for the full details) It is with a very great burden in my heart, that I write this sermon. I had another sermon in mind to post, before God impressed this particular message in my heart, to post as quickly as possible. And I’m sure it is to rescue people from their pending destruction… Some time back, a Pastor friend of mine-Pastor Chukwuma Eliezer- related to me, how he was asking God, concerning the recent immorality-even in the Church. He said, he was asking God; why are Christians dressing naked-even to the Church? Why are women- who naturally would not want the opposite sex to see their nakedness-flaunting their sensitive parts? According to him, the Lord replied him: it is the ‘spirit of Aholah and Aholibah’. After hearing him say that, as time went on, I decided to study concerning this end time, evil spirit. After my studies, I came out with a very gnawing revelation, concerning this end-time cankerworm (the spirit of Aholah and Aholibah). Which I will be sharing online from time to time. As one article will never be enough to exhaust this subject… So What Is The spirit of Aholah and Aholibah All About? The spirit of Aholah and Aholibah, is the spirit of spiritual derailment. It is the spirit that makes many daughters of Zion (many Churches), to fraternize with the world. It is the spirit that has made many churches become worldly and the world become churchy… It is the spirit that makes many believers-even Ministers- sit on the fence. You know, believers nowadays, in order to avoid the reproach of the cross (persecution), now condone every doctrine and religion- even the erroneous ones. Recently, I was reading a particular forum thread, which questioned the spirituality of a Pastor, wearing long hair, and tattoo. And to my greatest dismay, so many believers never had any problem with it. The few folks that tried to point out the truth from the scriptures, were labeled, legalists and they also said they were being judgmental. But when Jesus, who is our perfect example walked the earth, he wasn’t sitting on the fence. He said he judged no man. But regardless, when he saw people in error, he did rebuke them. He did call them the children of devil. And when he said all that, he wasn’t in anyway being judgmental. Neither was he in anyway condemning, as many people will call it today… The bible tells us in the book of 2 Timothy 3:16-17; that “All scriptures are given by the inspiration of God, and they are profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works,” But what do we see today in Christendom? A brother or sister is erring according to scriptural tenets, and when you rebuke, reproof or correct them, they label you a judge and a condemner. Even when your rebuke or correction is from a scriptural point of view. All these are all backsliding spirit. All these are the spirit of the end-time. You know, the bible says; in the last days, the love of many shall wax cold. These are all the manifestations of the spirit of pervasion-the spirit of Aholah and Aholibah. So please, beloved, fellow zealous brothers and sisters. Lovers of truth and holiness- with the hope of making it to heaven at the last trump. Join me to fast, pray and preach against this evil, end-time spirit (the spirit of Aholah and Aholibah). Which is out to drag gazillion of believers to eternal damnation. The Lord reward you handsomely, as you do so in love, in Jesus matchless name. This Entry was originally posted at www.righteousfaith.net .

“But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil. But since we left off to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by famine”---Jeremiah 44:17-18 The above scripture was the reply of the remnant of the Children of Israel after their ordeal in the land of Judah. After God’s punishment on their sins. When the Prophet Jeremiah rebuked them for their sins, especially their Idolatry. He rebuked them for worshiping the queen of heaven. But they stubbornly confronted him and replied to him what is written in the above scripture. The day I read that particular scripture and the other part I’ll be quoting soon, I feared for so many religious folks that are still making obeisance to that same she devil-the queen of heaven- That made the children of Israel to attract the wrath of God. Some months back, as I called most of my friend’s phone, the ring back tone, carried a song that praised the queen of heaven. As I continually heard the song, I let them be. But recently, as I read through my bible, and got to that particular chapter of Jeremiah, the extreme nature of this idolatry pricked into my spirit. It pricked me to the extent, I know God will not forgive me, if I do not tell the people I know are involved in order to save their precious souls. So instantly, I called all my friends I know had the ring back tone to turn it off. And I also warned them with the above scripture never to do any form of obeisance to the queen of heaven. Because she is a devil. And recently, as I call them, I found out they’ve already turned it off. Then after that result, it has been on my mind to also extend this message as far as possible to the religious folks who are inadvertently worshipping this she devil. Hence, this particular article. So please, from a heart of holy love, if you’re in any way involved in this idolatry- or you know anyone involved in it, please desist. And also, quickly warn others, no matter their religious dogmas. You can circulate this article to them as fast as possible. Because the wrath it attracted to those offenders of the Israelite was very dreadful… Here was how God reacted to their rebellious statements-in great anger- in Jeremiah 44:25-27; “Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying; Ye and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and fulfilled with your hand, saying, We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her: ye will surely accomplish your vows, and surely perform your vows. Therefore hear ye the word of the, LORD, all Judah that dwell in the land of Egypt; Behold, I have sworn by my great name, saith the LORD, that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, The Lord God Liveth. Behold, I will watch over them for evil, and not for good: and all the men of Judah that are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine, until there be an end of them” At my early stage of Christianity, I came across a friend’s brother that referred to Mary as the ‘queen of heaven’. And when I asked him the reason for his belief, his only defense was: “Any where there is a King, there must of a necessity be a Queen also”. So according to his explanations, since God is the King of Heaven and Earth, then Mary the mother of Jesus Christ (That died for years) is automatically the queen. But this erroneous presumption, does not have any biblical validation… Please my dear, I’m not hear for any religious attack. But on the contrary, I’m here to scripturally show-as can be clearly seen from the scripture- That any form of obeisance to the queen of heaven in any form, is Idolatry. And if the perpetrators do not desist, they’re sure to attract the wrath of God. Not only in this present age, but in the world to come. Please, don’t allow religion to push you to damnation. Heaven is real, and Hell fire as well is real. And the race to heaven is a personal race. So please take personal responsibility for your eternal salvation. Because as God revealed personally to me, if you miss heaven by one percent, you have automatically made Hell Fire 100%. There is no standing in between. And I for one, I don’t want to go to hell; neither do I want anyone to go to hell for any reason as well. Even God almighty, says it is not his will for anyone to perish in Hell, but that all should come to repentance. But if you ignorantly or consciously walk your way to hell, there is no second chance after death- or after the sound of the great, last trumpet. So for love’s sake again, I plead with you to desist from this great evil and also warn the people you know that are also involved in it in any way, to also desist as fast as possible.
