How we abuse the great gift of the holy spirit by Nobody: 8:20am On Feb 28, 2021 |
Good morning and Happy sunday to you all. I will try to make this as swift as possible,many gifts of the holy spirit are given but the gift of tongues by far remains the greatest of them all,but yet it still remains the most utterly misinterpreted gift of all,nowadays people believe that if you speak in tongues then truly truly you have been baptized by the holy spirit. It is now more or less a test to show ones spirituality but yet the speaking in tongues practiced today has gone contrary to the biblical one.Before the ascension Jesus assigned his disciples with the job of taking the divine message of the gospel to all corners of the earth MARK 16:15-17 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongue To enable them to be able to carry out the work given they were given the ability to speak in tongues of various languages on Pentecost ACTS 2 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God. And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this? Peter the explained to the crowd and the multitude understood him irrespective of there language and in Acts 2:14-17 over 3000 were converted The main aim of tongue speaking was to enhance communication during preaching but today many have coveted this gift with the sounds of meaningless babbling because what they display as speaking in tongues today is not a distinct language neither does it pass a message. Paul wrote of the gift in 2 Timothy 2:16 "But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness." because language where made for communication speaking in tongues was made to facilitate communication, but if I speak and you don't understand then communication has not occurred and the language spoken becomes babbling or noise. Paul also admonishes the Corinthians in 1 Cor 14:6-11 But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you unless I speak to you either by frevelation, by knowledge, by prophesying, or by teaching? 7Even things without life, whether flute or harp, when they make a sound, unless they make a distinction in the sounds, how will it be known what is piped or played? 8 For if the trumpet makes an uncertain sound, who will prepare for battle? 9 So likewise you, unless you utter by the tongue words easy to understand, how will it be known what is spoken? For you will be speaking into the air. 10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of languages in the world, and none of them is without 2 significance. 11 Therefore, if I do not know the meaning of the language, I shall be a 3 foreigner to him who speaks, and he who speaks will be a foreigner to me. 1 Corinthians 14:27-28 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. Checkout 1st for 14:18-19 and 1st Corinthians 14 4 to 5 So let us shun profane babbling and avoid misinterpreting the gifts of God |
