Those who don't believe in speaking in tongues are not true believers. It means you are not born again. If you are, the signs of speaking in tongues ought to follow you. Our Lord Jesus said;

"And these signs shall follow THEM THAT BELIEVE; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues." (Mark 16:17).

i have up to 40 Benefits of Speaking in tongues with scripture references to back it up. The book will be released shortly.

After independence, in order to build a great nation, each country went to work. But in Nigeria, after independence, our people went to pray and fast. So, while we were praying, Malaysia came here and took our palm seedlings and built a great factory of it. While we were praying, Singapore went into investment in technology. While we were praying, India went into ICT. While we were praying, China went to massive industrialization. While we were shouting Allah Alakuba! UAE went into massive infrastructural development. While we were binding and casting Lucifer, Japan went into technological development. While we were speaking in tongues, Denmark went into education of her citizens. While we were mounting big speakers in our places of worship, USA was mounting man on the moon.

After our prayers, God, being a wise God decided to reward us according to our labour. Since those that went into industrialization, technology, infrastructural development, ICT, education etc have been rewarded accordingly. It's only wise God rewards us with our efforts in prayers. That's why today, Nigerian pastors are competing in building the biggest churches.

That's why there are more prayer houses and worship places than hospitals and schools. That's why people rush to prayer houses for medical and business solutions instead of hospitals. That's why we don't do business proposals before jumping into business since we are going to back it up with prayers. And when it collapse, we blame devil. That's why it's a sin to say anything negative about pastors and imams. That's why our pastors don't consider the opinion of engineers while building and blame devil when building collapse. That's why faith in God replaces building pillars and when it collapse we blame it on Lucifer. That's why our pastors are making sure they plant church branches instead of schools in every streets in Nigeria. That's why we always wait for gods to do that which ability to accomplish we already have in us. That's why we want our teachers to labour on earth and go to heaven for their rewards. Nigeria is a prayer loving, god fearing nation. Religion has taken the place of technology, infrastructure, education and all. When we are traveling, we ignore all the necessary road requirements, servicing of our vehicles and pray. And, once we pray, we can put a half fit vehicle on the road and blame our step mother or mother in law if anything goes wrong. That's why there are more people dying on our roads. Because, we pray and fast and leave everything to God when we have all we need to survive and build a nation....... I hope it made sense to you

iramure:
Speaking in useless tongue offers nothing but foolishness and stupidity.
Non praying nations have gone far in every good things, you allow one incomprehensible language rule you. You need brain check up

shadeyinka:

....a myopic way of thinking about the problem!

While we were NOT thinking all you said took place. It has nothing to do with prayers or worship. America became great technologically with a generation that largely believed in God (at least up till 1970)

Malaysia is 98% Muslims but greater than Nigeria technologically.

Till today, with or without religion, Nigerians have still refused to THINK and All we do is to CONSUME!

YungJo207:



Tongues of Angels are heavenly tongues ahi ok the devil was once part of them so what makes you think he doesn't understand the whole tongues you speak?

Maximus85:


Tell them.

Apostle Paul said if someone has the gift of speaking in tongues, then someone must be there to translate. Who has ever translated that gibberish they speak?

Nuttella:
I love praying in tongues, I don't just pray in tongues, while praying in tongues, I sing in tongues, oh how I love to worship my father in heaven. I can pray in normal English or Igbo language for 5mins and be short of words because of my human limitations but when praying in tongues, I can pray for 5 hours tirelessly because the holyspirit has taken over and no more human limitations, I speak mysteries, I see visions when praying in tongues too. Every born again Christian should pray in tongues.

Apostle Paul didn't discourage believers from speaking in tongues. He was only trying to put an order in church. And he was addressing the situation when you are talking to the congregation.

But he encourages speaking in tongues for personal edification;

He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church -:1st Corinthians 14:2.

He even boasted he speaks in tongues more than them all -: 1st Conrinthians 14:18

In the concluding part, he said;

Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues. Let all things be done decently and in order - 1st Conrinthians 14:39-40.

There are several benefits of speaking in tongues. Speaking in tongues destroys the works of Satan. So, Satan is fighting hard for people to despise it.

I would have been long death before now if not for the gift of tongues. God gave me victory over assassin who were paid to kill me on several occasions.

Speaking in tongues makes spirit more sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit. It makes you supernatural. Time will not permit me to list out more benefits.

You are missing quite a lot if you don't speak in tongues.

Maximus85:


Sir, Tongue means language. In pentecost 33CE those that spoke in tongues were speaking languages that people can understand. Go read Acts 1:1-11.

Who understands that gibberish you guys speak today?

The gift of speaking in different languages was a gift of the spirit, no to talk to God but to preach the gospel to people of different languages.

Wdf is sharrababa. And that trash you guys speak sound all the same.

How come Gallileans speak our languages and we can hear them? People heard.

TruthinAction:


The experience of speaking in tongues in known languages only happened on the day of Pentecost during the days of the early church. They also spoke in tongues that could not be understood.

This is why Apostle Paul wrote;

1st Conrinthians 14:14
For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.

If they always spoke known languages in tongues, there would have been no need to look for an interpreter.
