Speaking in tongues builds you up

                                      
In my work in the medical field I often prescribe physical exercise. I wish I could also prescribe spiritual exercise, like speaking in tongues, for my sick patients! Scripture states that spiritual exercise is of even greater value than physical exercise, with speaking in tongues building you up inside.

1 Timothy 4:7b+8 (Amplified bible) “Train yourself towards godliness – keeping yourself spiritually fit. For physical training is of some value; but godliness (spiritual training) is useful and of value in everything and in every way, for it holds promise for the present life and also for the life which is to come.”

When you speak in tongues you are building up your "spiritual muscles" these "muscles" are useful in this life when we get into situations where godliness is needed. They are also the "muscles" that we will be using in “the life which is to come.”

Speaking in tongues builds you up in three ways:-

When you speak in tongues you are building up the temple of God within

Paul refers to this in 1 Cor 14:4 “One who speaks in a tongue edifies (3618) himself.” The Greek word for ‘edifies’ is oikodomeo (3618) and literally means to build a house.
Examples of its use elsewhere in the New Testament are:

Mt 16:18 “I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build (3618) My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it.”

Mark 14:58 “We have heard Him say, ‘I will destroy this temple made with hands, and in three days I will build (3618) another made without hands.’”

Acts 7:49 “Heaven is My throne, and earth is the footstool of My feet; ‘What kind of house will you build (3618) for Me?’ says the Lord.”

1Cor 3: 16 “Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in 

When you speak in tongues you are building up a heavenly deposit within

The Greek word for tongue is glossa (1100), meaning either tongue or language. Glossakomon (1101) is a word that is derived from ‘glossa’ (1100). It means 'money box' and is used in John 12:6 and 13:29 as such:

John 13:29 “For some were supposing, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus was saying to him, “Buy the things we have need of for the feast”; or else, that he should give something to the poor.”

A money box is something that we use to save up for a future need. The hidden meaning here seems to suggest that speaking in tongues is equivalent to building a spiritual deposit in your heavenly bank account which you can later draw upon.

We are also building up spiritual faith/strength when we speak in tongues

When the people in Acts 2:11 were speaking in tongues, those around who heard and understood the language said “We hear them in our own tongues speaking of the mighty deeds of God.” The disciples themselves may have not realised that they were speaking out what God had done so powerfully recently. But what could be more strengthening and faith building than “speaking of the mighty deeds of God” as a spiritual exercise?
Jude 20-21 “But you beloved, building (2026 from 1909 +3618) yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit. Keep yourselves in the love of God waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.”

Acts 20:32 “And now I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build (3618) you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

1 Thess 5:11 Therefore encourage one another and build (3618) up one another just as you also are doing.

The apostle Paul is the writer in the New Testament who was given more scripture to write than any other. How did this happen? I believe part of it can be attributed to the private practice of speaking in tongues which built him up in God.

1 Cor 14:18 “I thank God; I speak in tongues more than you all.”

He also moved mightily in the power of God.
1 Cor 2:4+5 “My message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power.”
1 Cor 2:12-14 “Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God, which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words. But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised.”

How To Attract Clients To Your Coaching Practice

There are two things that should ideally be taken care of while building a coaching business and attracting clients – mindset and marketing strategies.
But people often just want to jump over straight to marketing strategies skipping the crucial role of first creating an mindset.
Working on your mindset before moving to the marketing strategies is the key to success.
Why? Because “thoughts become things”.
Most of us know this, yet we seem to undermine the importance of working on our mindset daily in order to create successful online business and attract clients.
Forbes states that %90 of start-ups fail.
Whether or not you are new to the coaching industry, if you feel that your business isn’t really taking off then I invite you to try something, that may be a game changer for your business and personal life.
I personally watched many businesses failing over and over again and looking from hindsight I know that they were missing this ONE thing, which is crucial among other to create success,And that is working on your mindset.

1. Write down the goal that you really want to achieve.

 For e.g. “I want 5 new clients this month”.On the other side of the paper write some inspirational quote that helps you achieve your goal. I like to use the quote below.

“Ask, and it shall be given you;seek, and ye shall find;knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
For every one that asketh, receiveth;and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.”
-Matthew 7:7, 8
Keep this note close by and read it few times a day. This way you are starting to reprogram your subconsciousness.

2. Stop thinking about what you fear.

 Replace fear with positive thoughts and let it drive you towards attaining your goal. Every time you feel doubt or fear creeping in reject it and remember your goal! Focus on it.

3. Visualise.

See yourself achieving this goal and how it will change your life. How will your life look like once you achieve this goal?
See yourself doing the things you will be doing once you achieve this goal.
What you are thinking today or tomorrow, it will manifest in your life shortly.
So always remember “thoughts become things”.
It is easy for a human being to slip back into old thinking patterns, so anytime you feeling as if you are regressing, remember you are creating a new habit that will take you to your dream.
Train yourself. For 40 days, think only positive thoughts.

4. Imagine.

Let your mind soar, and each day do more then you have to do. Like you did never before! Give of yourself more than you’ve ever done before.
Being of service will help you sustain a positive attitude.
Do it knowing that your return will be in the proportion of what you’ve given.

5.Have Courage.

For the next 40 days your all focus will be on others and be of service. This way you won’t leave any place for the EGO which would normally talk you out of things, that you know would help you create success. Once your attention is on others, this is no longer about you and so there is no space for EGO.
What else can you do today to be of service to others?

6. Take action.

Take daily action without worrying about HOW you will achieve your goal. Leave the “HOW” to the higher power. All you have to do is knowing where you going.
So if your goal is to get more clients. Then take action towards it, but from the place of being of service to your tribe.
Ask yourself this question every day.
“How can I be of service to my clients today”.
There are few more things to remember:
*If you fail during the test, maybe getting overwhelmed by negative thoughts, you will need to start from the beginning.
*Read inspiring books, watch inspiring movies, listen to inspiring audios
*Keep strong and stay positive
*Remember law of prosperity you first need to give in order to receive
* The most important part is to always be aware of the Law of attraction: thoughts become things, so chose the good ones!
Our mind doesn’t care what we plant! The success of failure. Confidence or doubt. Fear or courage.
It is up to us.
Today and for the next 40 days, you can start fresh.

Four Turkish soldiers killed in bomb attack

                              
Four Turkish soldiers were killed in the town of Semdinli, in the mainly Kurdish southeast, near the Iraqi border, when a bomb was detonated as their vehicle travelled past, security sources said.
The military deployed troops and helicopters to the area to launch an operation in the wake of the attack, they said.
The army and police have been battling militants of the armed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) in the southeast since a ceasefire collapsed in July 2015, wrecking a peace process aimed at resolving one of Europe’s longest-running insurgencies.

YOU HAVE A SOUND MIND

                                               
                                                          By  Pst Chris Oyakhilome

 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).

As Christians, we have the mind of Christ, a sound mind; that means an excellent mind. It makes no difference how many people don’t think you’re sound, God says you are, therefore, see yourself in the same light, and talk accordingly.
A sound or excellent mind is one that’s fixed on the Word; one that’s controlled and influenced by the Word, and doesn’t vacillate. It’s a renewed mind that stays the course, and keeps doing the right things, regardless of changing circumstances. A sound mind thinks and produces excellence only; it doesn’t allow mediocrity and imperfection.
God demands perfection. He said, “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect” (Matthew 5:48). That’s why He gave you a sound mind, an anointed mind, so you’ll be very excellent at what you do in a way that stands you out all the time. Affirm always that you’re sound. Continually say to yourself, “I have an excellent spirit, and I do excellent things, because the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of excellence, lives in me. He has anointed my mind to produce excellence.” Have this consciousness every day.
The Scriptures testify that you have a sound mind, so, don’t wait for anybody to say it about you. God said it, so you may boldly affirm the same thing: “...for he hath said...So that we may boldly say...” (Hebrews 13:5-6). So, even now, declare, “I have a sound mind. I do excellent things. I’m set apart for excellence!” Say this to yourself several times today.


CONFESSION

The Holy Spirit has made me super-intelligent; He has anointed my mind, therefore, I have an extraordinary amplitude of comprehension. I have quickness of understanding, and the wisdom of God is at work in me to produce excellent results to the glory of God.
