TO THE BIBLE: 1 Corinthians 14:15
“What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also”
LET’S TALK
GPS (Global Positioning System) is a satellite navigation system that provides location and time information in all weather conditions, anywhere on or near Earth. When you’re in an unfamiliar neighbourhood, for example, a GPS navigation device can help you pin-point your location and find your way around easily.
Praying in tongues works very much like spiritual GPS. It helps you understand situations accurately so you can be rightly positioned and led by the Spirit of God. It gets you synchronised with the will, purpose, and timing of God. Remember that God knows everything in your heart even before you pray to Him. Hence, the kind of prayer that appeals to Him is that which is in line with His Word.
Jesus said, “And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words” (Matthew 6:7). You’re different, however, because you’ve got a spiritual language that enables you to communicate effectively with the Father. It helps you to know the mind of God and understand His purpose and plans for your life. It programmes you to recognise His perfect timing and positions you rightly at all times.

My spirit is sensitised to know God’s will and purpose for me. I walk in the path of divine destiny, fulfilling God’s perfect will for me. I thank you, Father, for the tremendous blessings and impact of your Word in my life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
