PROPHECY IS PREFERRED TO GIFT OF TONGUES

Follow after Charity, and desire spirtual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy. For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men,but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. But he that prophesieth speakth unto men to edification and exhortation, and comfort.He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. I would that ye all spake with tongue but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying. Now brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine? And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds,how shall it be known what is piped or what is harped? For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle? So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? For ye shall speak into the air. There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification. Therefore I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me. Even so ye forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church. Where fore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret. For if I pray in an unknown tongue my spirit prayeth, but by understanding is unfruitful. What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with understanding also. I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all: Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue. Brethren, be not children in understanding: how be it in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men. In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord. Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them which believe. If therefore the whole church be come together into one place,and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad? But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all: And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth. How is it then, brethren? When ye come togther, everyone of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret. But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God. Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge. If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace, as in all churches of the saints. For we are not as many which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you my love be with you all in Christ Jesus Amen.

THE WORLD GREATEST SIN IS LOVE

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not Love, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not Love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not Love, it profiteth me nothing. Love suffereth long, and is kind;Love envieth not; Love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Love doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but reoiceth in the truth. Beareth all things.beliveth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Love never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether their be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is in part shall be done away. When I was a child, I spake as a chils, but when I became a man a put away childish things. For now we see through a glass darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. And now abideth faith, hope, Love, these three; but the greatest of these is Love.

ANTI CHRIST

As it is written,behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and rock of offence and whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed. You can call the devil many names but not a fool. He has never been a fool from the day he was casted down from heaven to earth His kingdom is highly organised and the bible said that one third of the angels followed him down to earth. Satan rebelled and was cast out of heaven. Isaiah 14:12-13 says how art thou fallen from heaven, o Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nation's! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will asend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north". Satan has a very intelligent force that are not easily dealt with if you are not careful. The powers we are wrestling against are not flesh and blood, they are principalities, powers, rulers of darkness of this world,and spiritual wickedness in high places Eph 6:12. These powers are very persistent and consistent in attacking the children of God. If you do not send them out properly, they will come back with more powers to regain their positions. These agents are everywhere and can be anybody. God wants you to reaffirm your stand in him. Devil has already changed some of the Christians. Some are not serving the Lord again but serving Satan and they are not fully aware of it. Most are waiting to see the physical 666 numnber before they can believe there is anti-christ.Do not be deceived. Make up your mind today and follow Jesus the Author and the finisher of your faith.
