Teaching the Word of God is one of the most honorable things one can do. But when we are preparing the study or sermon, we must be very cautious as to what will be said and taught.
We must be prayed up, studied up and most importantly, be serious of who we are representing.
Sometimes, I hear of pastors who are constantly trashing the people. Or some others constantly joking in the pulpit. Others, using language that is far from the Holiness of the pulpit. What we must be extremely conscious of:
The pulpit is to preach:
The Father’s Love, Interjection & Correction
About Christ’s power of Redemption
& Transformation
About the Spirit’s constant
Sanctification & Instruction
The pulpit is about:
Sin’s Seriousness & Grievousness
Damnation to Salvation
Man’s Fall & Separation
God’s Forgiveness & Eternal Plan
Of Action
About Christ’s Obedience
About man’s Connection Correction
It’s about God’s:
Holiness
Praise-worthiness
Awesomeness
Righteousness
Fearfulness
Greatness
FOR Praying for God’s:
Intervention, Edification
Supplication, Acclamation
Intercession, Cessation
& Confession
The Pulpit is not for self:
Edification, Elation,
Inflation, Narration
Reputation, or
Accolades
The Pulpit is definitely not for:
Being funny all the time,
Crowd-Pleasing
Vulgarity,
or crowd Elating
Not for self Agendas,
Or Selling yourself
