6. InterpretationofTonguesvsProphecy
• Both are inspired utterances from the Holy Spirit
• Tongues are prophecies provided there is faith-
based interpretation: I cor 14:5
• Hence, both fulfil the purpose of edification,
unlike speaking in tongues that edífies only the
speaker if not interpreted: I cor 14:5
• Prophecy cut across all section of spiritual
activities such as preaching,witnessing, singing,
reading psalms: Eph 5: 18,19,I cor 14:26,

7. Purpose of prophecy
• In old testament, prophecy is mostly foretelling
• Prophecies of the patriachs of old
• For example Jacob prophecies: Genesis 49:1
• But in general, the main highlight of old
prophecy can summed up in “Oh Isreal,
return to the Lord“
• An important tool for edifying, comforting and exhorting
people. I cor 14:3
• Edifying-to build up or charge up
• Comforting- to sheer up or console
• Exhorting- to warn or advise

10. C. Important to note
• The Prophecy is sometimes subjected to the faith of
the one prophesying : I cor 14:32, Romans 12:6
• Faith and knowledge of the word of God are
paramount for operating in this gift
• All prophecies need to be screened with the gift of
discerning of spirit to ascertain their source.I cor
14:24-25
• Why?- Because of the danger of apostaste,
backslidden prophets
