Text: ```1 Corinthians 14:4-5 One who speaks in a tongue edifies himself; but one who prophesies edifies the church [promotes growth in spiritual wisdom, devotion, holiness, and joy]. Now I wish that all of you spoke in unknown tongues, but even more [I wish] that you would prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater [and more useful] than the one who speaks in tongues, unless he translates or explains [what he says], so that the church may be edified [instructed, improved, strengthened].```
COMMENTARY
Speaking in tongues will edify you to bypass all spiritual hoodlums and touch the reality of your pursuit. Tongue speaking is a spiritual tool and powerful but limited to self-edification. Prayers and speaking in tongues were a catalyst in my university days, especially my final year. The body of Christ neglects this essential and rare gift of the Holy Spirit and argue whether it exists or ended with the early apostles. This is a huge mistake that has limited Church leaders and their followers from taping into this essential spiritual resources.
Tongue speaking is the primary realm for the beginning of spiritual journey and exploit with the Holy Spirit. "Those who do know their God shall be strong and do exploit." It starts with you knowing Jesus Christ as your Lord and personal Savior. And once you have identified with Jesus Christ, His desires and the next stage of your life is to be genuinely baptized of the Holy Spirit which the evidence of this great baptism(commissioning) is speaking in tongues.
Speaking in tongues causes expansion of your spirit and brings about dominion. The mind of God from the creation is to cause man to dominate his environment. Your dominion in these last days does not come by ordinary wishes or mere professing. It comes by thunder and fire, by violent and corrosive, eruptive tongue and prophecies, edifying self and those around you. Jesus told Peter in Luke 22:32 to strengthen his brethren. When you talk about strengthening, either self or others. You are either talking about tongues or prophecy.
Food for thought: Tongue speaking is a path of power and not funfare or fancy parade.
Prayer: ```Lord recruit me into your end-time armies to exercise myself in tongues and manifest Spirit gifts in Jesus' name.```
