Sometimes our breakthrough is not in prayer but in direction. Our generation today want a now miracle but there are miracles that will require you to go to the pull of Siloam to wash your face. Washing your face in Siloam can also mean washing your hypocrisy.

Sometimes our level of hypocrisy prevent us from receiving what God has readily prepared for us . Because our face is full of hypocrisy, even when He want to bless us he can’t . We have to go to the pull of Siloam, wash away every guilt, every doubt, every disobedience, every scale in our eyes, every faithlessness, every stubbornness, every rudeness , every arrogance , every self ambitions , every bitterness, every pride, every insincerity, then we shall receive a miracle. Sometimes we are too chaotic to receive something from God.

There are people whom Jesus healed instantly but their are people He gave them homework to do to experience their miracles.

Don’t get mad when a servant of God give you homework to do instead of just praying for you to receive what you want immediately. There are something’s when you receive without your heart being right , will be a door to your own destruction.

There are people who prayed for marriage but marriage became their source of depression.
There are people who cried out for anointing but now anointing has made them to become arrogant and prideful.
There people who prayed for children and the same children became their source of stress.

Sometimes the problem is not what we ask but the discipline to keep what we ask.
Don’t ask what you don’t have the discipline to keep.

You may ask God to become a millionaire but when you become one, will you still remember the doors of the church? Many will not see the need of God going onwards.

Some ask for a job but once they received the job , they stopped coming to church. The reason for their coming to church wasn’t Christ at all but their need. Once their need is satisfied, they don’t see the need of God no more.

This is why some need homework first instead of a miracle or healing. For God to show you the kind of heart you have towards Him. Whether that heart is true or fake.

One prophet ones spoke that their love is like that of morning Cloud and dew which quickly fades away. There are people who quickly forget God when their needs are met but there are people who love God more irrespective of their need or abundance.

What shall I do with you, O Ephraim? What shall I do with you, O Judah? Your love is like a morning cloud, like the dew that goes early away.
Hosea 6:4

Prove me, O Lord, and try me; test my heart and my mind.
Psalm 26:2

Having said these things, he spit on the ground and made mud with the saliva. Then he anointed the man’s eyes with the mud and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means Sent). So he went and washed and came back seeing.
John 9:6-7

Do not Despise the Gift of Speaking in Tongues

Every gift the Spirit willingly distribute to the church is important . If God gives you a gift embrace it and use it for His Glory.
Memory:
It took over three years down the line after surrendering my life to Jesus to get water Baptized. I really wanted to get water Baptized but every time there was baptism in the church it would find me in school.

A time came that I decided to go straight to my Pastor and tell him to baptize me even if am one person. Luckily, that holiday season there was organized water baptism in Nyayo Stadium in Kenya. I went and registered and became a participant .

It was that morning , the weather was chilly and the water was cold , I got water Baptized . When I stepped out of the water I was babbling in these words I could not understand their meaning. I was speaking in tongues . It was strange indeed to me . I have never spoken in tongues before . Have heard people speaking in tongues but me myself have never . I didn’t even know it was that real neither I understood the importance of it.

I battled with it and since I thought it was strange and I didn’t need it I stopped. Little did I knew , rejecting a gift God has given you comes with its consequences for God will not give you a gift He thinks you won’t need. It is like a parent giving something to the son they will need in their life and the son rejects it.

Later on, I met one brother in the Lord that taught me the importance of speaking in tongues . I was perplexed , then I said if it was that good then I need it.

I noticed since I rejected the gift, it was difficult for me to enter into the presence of God ! I could pray but don’t feel the prayer neither the presence of God . The Lord hid the gift from me .
I know this will surprise many , when I didn’t show the liking of the gift , the Holy Spirit only left a stamped syllable in me I could pray in tongues properly two or three words only in tongues and every time I could reach a place of prayer where the Holy Spirit could lead me to speak these syllables , I could literally feel the Heaven opened.

This was truly a strange experience . I started crying to God to restore this gift in my life . I remained in my two to three syllables for years . I felt this was my punishment for rejecting the gift in the first place. After almost over three years of consistent prayer , the Lord restored the gift in completeness . It reached a time my prayers could only be in tongues and sometimes the Holy Spirit bringing to me a worship song in tongues and it could be a sweet communion have never imagined.

One day while preparing to go to church , I knelt down to pray and the Spirit of the Lord came upon me . I found myself speaking in tongues , this one I have never spoken before . I was like Lord what is this language am hearing ?

I went to church that day as usual . There was a preacher who came from outside who was sharing the Word . After preaching he started praying . I knelt down where I was seated and started praying too. The preacher came where I was and laid his hands on my shoulder and the power of God came mightily upon him and he started speaking in tongues he has never spoken before .
He spoke and spoke and spoke and spoke and the Lord gave me a Word that day in tongues that was interpreted in English.

Why am I sharing this ? I was praying with one brother today and for the first time he found himself speaking in tongues . He was overwhelmed . He has never imagined himself speaking in tongues. Probably he has criticized people speaking in tongue not knowing his time was coming.

One day I was preaching in the church , and when I finished to make the final prayer , the Holy Spirit lifted my spirit and I found myself praying in tongues . It was unplanned for and the presence of God came and one lady in the congregation was filled and also started speaking in tongues.

Some in the congregation were displeased and stopped the flow and the presence of God lifted out of the building . When the service ended, many came to question me of what happened during the service . Some have been in the church for too many years but been taught wrong concerning the gifts of God.

Every gift that God decides to give you as a person is important and you need to embrace it whole heartedly. Never mock what God has given you some have done so and closed the Heaven above them .

1 Corinthians 14:5
Now I want you all to speak in tongues, but even more to prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless someone interprets, so that the church may be built up.
