TOPIC — Gifts Of The Spirit (2): The Vocal Gifts (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Devotional 21 August 2025)
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Job 1:1-3:26; 1 Corinthians 14:1-17; Psalm 37:12-29; Proverbs 21:25-26
FIRE SCRIPTURE: 1 Corinthians 14:1-13 (KJV)
1 Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.
2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
3 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
5 I would that ye all spake with tongues but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.
6 Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?
7 And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?
8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?
9 So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air.
10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.
11 Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me.
12 Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.
13 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.
MEMORY VERSE: “And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.” – Acts 2:4 (KJV)

MFM Devotional For Today 2025 MESSAGE:
The baptism in the Holy Spirit prepares a child of God to receive one or more of the “gifts” of the Holy Spirit. (1 Corinthians 12:4-11.) Three of the nine gifts may be categorized as the vocal gifts. They are the gift of prophecy, diverse kinds of tongues and the interpretation of tongues.
These gifts of the Spirit operate through a believer to enable him or her to do God’s work, to help other people; to live in victory and to build up the body of Christ.

These gifts operate in different ways. The gift of prophecy is given to speak forth God’s Word. It is the prediction through the power of the Holy Ghost about the past, the present or the future of a thing. All true prophecy must agree with the word of God.
The gift of diverse kinds of tongues is a supernatural way of speaking to or for God in more than one language. It is the ability to speak different kinds of tongues, or the ability to speak with strange languages. It is different from praying in tongues, or praying in the Spirit. All who have been baptized in the Holy Spirit have the privilege and the ability to pray in tongues; however, not all have the “gift” of tongues.
Interpretation of tongues is the ability from God to explain – or interpret – the message interpretation of spoken in tongues. It is usually a dual gift used in conjunction with diverse kinds of tongues. Sometimes the message in tongues and the interpretation in tongues may come through different people, as the Holy Spirit gives them understanding.
As a believer, if you are not sure God is speaking to you about a matter, wait and God will reveal His will to you: first, in your spirit, and then possibly by confirming it “in the mouth of two or three witnesses” with prophecy. However, get your direction from God, and not from human beings. Psalm 27:11 says, “Lead me in a plain path, O Lord, because of my enemies.”. As you do this today, He shall direct you and make all crooked paths straight in your life, in the name of Jesus.
