"The matter tonight is deep, we can't pray it in tongues." Apostle Arome paused his congregation from praying in tongues because he wanted them to pray with understanding. even instructed ushers to gently lead out those continuing in tongues. He understood the two dimensions of prayer — tongues and understanding — and their distinct purposes. In his words, “No one prays the prayer of repentance in tongues on a crusade ground.” That night, he emphasized understanding because the focus was commitment to God, something that must be consciously expressed, not spiritually uttered. Any Pentecostal grounded in Scripture knows this. So why am I sharing it? Because many critics have misrepresented the practice of speaking in tongues and those who engage in it. Among Pentecostals, the standard is to combine both forms of prayer, "I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the understanding" (1 Corinthians 14:15). Tongues edify the spirit. As Paul urged Timothy to fan into flame the gift of God, praying in tongues is one way we do that practically. Those who practice it can testify, it builds you up. That’s why we pray long in tongues: because it strengthens us. And if it strengthens, God is behind it. Only He can build us up. So, when we pray in tongues, we pray God's will in mysteries, and He, who understands all, blesses our spirits through it. Both the ability to pray in tongues and the benefit from it are sovereign gifts from God. Why, then, do we criticize believers for using what God has given to grow in Him? When Pentecostal leaders encourage extended praying in tongues, it's to receive spiritual grace through the Spirit, graces in Christ, for the service of the Church. Many Pentecostal ministers in Nigeria trace their call to extended times in tongues. Their ministries now bless thousands. So they encourage us to do the same: keep the fire burning, grow in grace, and align with God's will. Importantly, most Pentecostals today don’t share the Corinthian problem. Our context is different. Few think they’re generating power by themselves when praying in tongues. In fact, it’s the opposite, they are waiting on God. We seek encounters. We listen. We yield. And almost always, praying in tongues is combined with praying in understanding, just as Paul taught. The goal is to have a genuine witness — that we truly met Him. To the Pentecostal Christian reading this: continue in tongues. You know how your eyes open, how your ears hear, how power flows through you when you do. Keep going. And keep going long. It will one day be clear that you met Him. God will help us all. Amen
