It is “politically correct” to say that a person doesn’t need to speak in tongues to be a Christian. But the truth is that without tongues, you will never fully enter into the realm of the spiritual and supernatural. Life and death are in the power of the tongue. When you yield your tongues to the Holy Spirit’s control, it opens the door to the invisible world of the miraculous.

We are told to constantly pray in the Spirit (Eph 6:18). What does that mean? The apostle Paul defines praying in the Spirit as praying in tongues (1 Cor 14:2). Similarly, to sing in the Spirit is to sing in tongues.

There are seven wonderful benefits of speaking in tongues:
(1) You are speaking directly to God (1 Cor 14:2).
(2) You are strengthening your own spirit man on your inside (1 Cor 14:4)
(3) When used with the gift of interpretation, you can edify others in a public gathering (1 Cor 14:5).
(4) You are expressing your praise to God (1 Cor 14:15-17).
(5) You are allowing the Holy Spirit to make deep intercession through you (Rom 8:26)
(6) You are refreshing yourself and entering into rest with God (Isa 28:11-12).
(7) You are building up your faith when you pray in tongues (Jude 20).

Learn to pray in tongues a lot in your daily prayer time. Remember what the apostle Paul said, “I thank my God I speak with tongues more than you all” (1cor 14:18). Paul made it a point to pray in the Holy Spirit during his personal devotional time. So should we. Paul was not ashamed to speak in tongues. Neither should we be.

I happen to bump into some of my frens who say tt speaking in tongues are not gd... So I intend to know more abt the speaking of tongues... I do know abit abt it but it is always better to seek ppl who know more abt it... I find out tt the arguments used by ppl who are against speaking in tongues are actually ignorant abt the bible as even though they use bible text to explain there is no need to speak in tongues but they used those text very selective... Becuz if u read the whole passage the text meaning is actually different from the way the ppl interpret it... I will say I felt I have enter into another level up on my understanding of God n even strengthening my Faith in Him... God is truly a magnificent n everything He does He do it with a purpose...I know tt there are a lot of ppl out there especially Christian who think tt speaking in tongues is not good or even demonic… Thus over here, I am giving u guys a clear understanding of speaking in tongues… Some Christian can quote in the bible tt tongues shld be abolish but when the bible means abolish mean tt when u have misuse it… But in this context when we pray in the Spirit, we are not misusing it but edifying it. Yes it is true tt tongues is a language but it needs not necessary to be human languages if it is not mean for human but God… Dun forget our God is a creator of all languages… Tongues need not necessary for another person to understand it… There is personal tongues for prayer which means it is a prayer between u n God…

It is also impt we know tt any languages be it human or tongues, when there is no love, it is nth, it is in vain, and it does not glorify God. Speaking in tongues means Love for God… when a tongue is not understood by human, it means tt the audience is not for human, simply juz tt… It means tt the audience is God Himself only. When tongues is understood or interpreted by man, it means tt there is an agreement in the Spirit which also leads to prophesy n affirmation from God.Remember tt full knowledge need both the Bible and the Spirit. With the Spirit alone, it will blow up ur mind… With the Bible alone, it will dry up ur spirit… With both, u will grow up…Church is impt to Christian… U need ppl to teach u to understand God but you still have to understand God on your own devotion times… That is why Christian need to go to Church to know more abt God…

Remember not to be decieve by ppl tt speaking in tongues is not good... U have to read the bible n understand it n prays in the Spirit... Cuz the ppl out there using the Bible to stop Christian from speaking in tongues are actually Contextualizing the Bible... Cuz if u read the whole Bible n go to Church n understand God, U will knoe tt ppl against speaking in tongues are the naive grp of ppl... Remember to read the Bible more n Prays more so tt u know wat God truely wan in ur life...To know more abt tongues feel free to contact me n I am more den willing to share with u guys... I wun post here is due to the fact tt ppl may misunderstand the purpose...
