GIFT OF PROPHECY 20 || MID-WEEK SERVICE || DR. AROME OSAYI || RCN MINNESOTA || 17TH DECEMBER 2025

The service begins with a prayer of blessing and an expression of gratitude to God, reading Psalm 136, highlighting God's enduring mercy and wonderful works. The speaker thanks all workers who contributed to a successful conference, acknowledging God's great plans for the city and marveling at His deeds.

During a period of prayer, the speaker had visions of upcoming events, including a wedding and a person receiving an employment notice they had yet to read. These are presented as divine confirmations and encouragements. He also describes a spiritual encounter with an evil spirit swimming with whales, whose meaning is yet to be fully revealed, and mentions plans to predict events for 2026.

The sermon delves into 1 Corinthians 14:18, where Apostle Paul states he speaks in tongues more than anyone. This highlights the importance of personal edification through tongues and the need for ministers to be spiritually ahead of their congregation. The speaker emphasizes that speaking in tongues is a continuous, daily practice, much like charging a phone, and that Jesus also sought solitary places for prayer.

Dr. Osayi introduces the first type of tongues: praise tongues. Drawing from Acts chapter 2, he explains how the disciples spoke of the wonderful works of God, and diverse people understood in their own languages. He describes praise tongues as powerful vehicles for corporate prayer, capable of transporting everyone into a refreshing spiritual experience, alleviating depression and torment.

The second type of tongues is intercessory tongues, which are used in spiritual warfare. Using Mark chapter 4 and 5, he illustrates how demonic resistance can manifest (e.g., storms) when God's people are advancing. He recounts a story of how intense intercessory prayer led to the defeat of a serpentine deity in a rural community, leading to mass conversions.

Two more types of tongues are introduced: rebuke tongues, used to confront and cast out evil spirits in deliverance ministry, and exaltation tongues, which carry a divine message for interpretation, akin to prophecy. The speaker encourages believers to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit's leading, allowing for organic spiritual ascent in prayer, rather than faking spiritual intensity.

The sermon emphasizes that true spiritual engagement is not faked but a genuine ascent empowered by the Holy Spirit. Several congregants share dreams involving demonic attacks and spiritual warfare, which the speaker interprets as current spiritual battles. The congregation unites in prayer to break these demonic chains, proclaiming freedom and restoration over those affected.

The service concludes with further encouragement to leverage the newfound understanding of tongues for deeper spiritual engagement. Announcements include a Christmas carol service and a 40-day fasting and prayer program in January. Attendees are urged to share the truth they've received with others and to support the ministry through offerings.
