Daily Devotional (March 27, 2024) WHY YOU SHOULD PRAY IN TONGUES - Part 3.

Scripture Reference: 1 Corinthians 2:11 - For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

Let's see Romans 8:26. It says, "Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered."

 The word intercession in the text transliterates to mean huperentugchano, and to intercede is to step in and help. It is to intervene. From Romans 8:26, the apparent dilemma is that we do not know what to pray for as we ought. Prayer is a means of fellowship between God and His children, but it is also how we ask. James 4:3 helps us understand that it is possible to ask amiss, meaning, we sometimes ask the wrong things in prayer, and this is because of the limitations of the mind (this is why we are asked to continually renew our minds). Now, when we pray with our understanding, we cannot go past how we think. We cannot pray better or higher than our minds can fathom.

Scripture tells us that out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. We cannot do or say better than the way we think, and this is why you should pray in tongues.

The limitation of the mind is why we do not know what to pray as we ought. There is how we ought to pray, and there is what we should pray, but the mind falls short of capturing that. There is what God wants you to ask for (which is His Will for you), and the way to decipher that is to pray in the language of the Spirit. When you pray in tongues, you bypass the limitations of your mind, and you pray to know what to pray. You pray in tongues to get what God will have you pray. So, the Holy Ghost does not pray for us, He helps us pray the right thing. He searches the deep things of God to reveal to us. If you already had a preconceived notion prior to prayer, say, you had your plans and motives before talking to God, praying in your understanding simply helps you voice out what you already wanted which might not be God's will for you, but when you pray in the Holy Ghost, you pray bypassing the impulses of the mind and discerning the will of God instead of yours (See Romans 8:27).

Praying in tongues places in your heart what you ought to pray for as you ought, including thanksgiving. When you cannot find the words, pray in other tongues, and even when you think you have the words, praying in other tongues helps you say the exact and precise words. Romans 8:26 says the Holy Ghost helps our weaknesses, and it is because of these weaknesses that we do not know what to pray as we ought; weaknesses such as selfishness or genuine cluelessness.

Sometimes, we genuinely do not know what to pray because we run out of ideas and 'prayer points. Praying in tongues is a prayer point in itself. It is praying to know what to pray as you ought. When you pray in other tongues, you are giving room to know the will of the Father concerning whatever, even when the answer is "no". Pray to discern God's will today. Pray in other tongues!

DECLARE THIS: As I pray in tongues today, I pray to know God's will. I pray to bring the answers in my spirit to the consciousness of my mind. I pray to know what to pray. I pray to bypass my will! Glory!

Daily Devotional (March 26, 2024) WHY YOU SHOULD PRAY IN TONGUES ( Part 2).

Scripture Reference: 1 Corinthians 14:2-4 - 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. But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort. He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.

A sharp sense of discernment is very key in life, because more than helping you identify right from wrong, it will help you identify what seems right from what is actually right (See Proverbs 14:12). Discernment is the ability to make good judgment, and we must understand that not all things are as they seem, hence to judge accurately, you will need to train your spirit to see with the third eye of the Spirit, and this is one of the reasons we pray in tongues.

Let's see 1 Corinthians 14:2. It says, "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." So when we pray in tongues, we speak mysteries in the Spirit. When we pray to heighten our discernment, we are praying to know what we do not know. We are praying to be able to see what is hidden to our physical sight. We are praying so that we can be more sensitive to know what we were not told. You are praying because by your logic and intellect, you cannot differentiate what is right from what is nearly right. Scripture says that there is a way that seems rightand the reason people go through that route is because to the ordinary eyes, it seems right. When we pray in tongues to heighten our discernment, we are saying the unknown (what scripture calls mysteries in the spirit) to know the unknown. In the arena of discernment, it's a game of tongues. The mind is limited, so we bypass the limitations of the mind when we pray in the language of the Spirit.

When we pray in tongues to sharpen our discernment, we become more sensitive and not just suspicious. Suspicion will make you think that something is wrong somewhere, but with discernment, you can tell even what is wrong from what seems wrong. We train our spirits to walk in the wisdom force of God that propels us to identify foolishness and abstain from it. When it comes to discernment, common sense and physical sight will not always be enough. You need to see beyond what you can physically see, and for this, you need to be sensitive to the nudges of the Spirit. A sharp sense of discernment will help you avoid pitfalls that you honestly could not have known. It will save you from investing in things that look great, but are on their way to failure. It will help you to identify the diamonds in the rough that do not look like it and most importantly, it will help you identify God's will for you per time. Sharpen your sense of discernment today. Pray in tongues! We pray in tongues to sharpen our sense of discernment.

DECLARE THIS: As I pray in tongues today, my discernment is sharpened! I train my spirit to see beyond what I see with my physical eyes. By discernment, I differentiate what is right from what looks right. Glory!

Daily Devotional (March 25, 2024) WHY YOU SHOULD PRAY IN TONGUES.

Scripture Reference: 1 Corinthians 12:1-4 - Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led. Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit

The gift of speaking in other tongues as we see from the progression of Luke 25:49 and Acts 1:4 is complementary to receiving the Holy Ghost. The believer's 'Day of Pentecost' is the day he/she received Christ. That being said, it is important to know that like all the other gifts of the Spirit, speaking in tongues is not learnt. It is the only language that we are not taught to speak, because it is sponsored by the Spirit within. There are no special qualifications required to pray in tongues, and it is not reserved for a specific few. It is for all who have received the Holy Ghost. If you have the Holy Ghost, you can and should pray in tongues. You are already filled with the Spirit, so just speak. Don't rationalize it.

Why should we pray in other tongues? Let's see 1 Corinthians 14:2-4. It says, "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. But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort. He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church."

To edify is to oikodomeo. It is to build up or to literally construct brick upon brick. So, praying in tongues is how we build ourselves up; how we construct and how we layer strength upon strength. What do we build when we pray in other tongues? We build inner strength. Jesus said in Luke 18:1, "men ought always to pray, and not to faint". In other words, we are designed to live by prayer. People think that they cannot pray because they are tired, when in fact it is because they are not praying that they are tired. If you're fainting, it is because you're not praying. The best way to build mental fortitude and willpower is to spend quality time praying in tongues. Feed your heart with the strength of the Spirit, and not just motivation. Pray in tongues.

What do we build in prayer? We build stamina and resistance to adversity. Scripture says in Proverbs 24:10, "If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small'. Adversity is guaranteed to come, but it must meet us a hundred steps ahead. How to be unshakable by downtimes is to create a cushion effect that will prevent you from being hit hard or feeling the impact of such downtimes. The way to do that is to build resistance by praying in other tongues.

Proactive prayers will do us a lot of good. Preparing for downtimes when they come is unprofitable. We pray in tongues so that we are not lightweight and easily siftable by adversity (Luke 22:31). We pray to build standing and stamina in advance. The tool to build is provided already! Don't wait for others to edify you, practice self-edification right now. Pray in other tongues! Praying in tongues is edifying yourself.

DECLARE THIS: As I pray in tongues today, am edified! I build strength and stamina. I gain standing! I am not lightweight and I build resistance and resilience by the Spirit!

Daily Devotional (March 24, 2024) WHEN GOD SAYS NO.

Scripture Reference: 1 John 5:14 - And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

We must understand that God is a good father who has the best interests of His children at heart. He knows best, and we must learn to trust His heart. We must also understand His will for us. Is what you're asking for in accordance with what He wants for you at that point in time?

Jesus in Luke 22:42 submitted to the will of God despite how inconvenient and heavy it was to bear. Your prayers will get a yes if they are in accordance with God's will for you. No matter how much you ask and keep asking, if what you're asking for is not what God wants for you, He won't let you have it, and this is because He's a good father. This leads us to the next thing. God's 'no' is out of His love for us, and that's another reason to rejoice! Rejoice that God cares about you so much that He would say no to things that are not for you.

Rejoice because He does not let you have everything you want. He will not say yes to something that will harm you just to pacify you. He will not allow you to have access to something that can potentially harm you. Understand and accept that God knows better than you do, and He wants the best for you even more than you do, so when you do not understand His hand, trust His heart. As you thank God for making a way, also thank Him for getting in the way! Thank Him for interrupting your plans. The proof that God's counsel over you is standing is that your own plans are failing. Thank Him for the closed doors because you might not have known what was behind them. As you thank God for His 'yes', also thank Him for His 'no. Thank Him because although His 'no' might seem like a detour, all things work together for your good, including the things you don't understand. God's 'no' is out of His love for us

DECLARE THIS: I affirm that God hears me when I pray! God listens to me when I speak to Him! I trust His heart, and I believe that in accordance with His Will for me, He will grant my heart desires. Glory!

Daily Devotional (March 23, 2024) THE WORK OF GOD IN YOU.

Scripture Reference: 1 Thessalonians 2:13 - For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

A very subtle tendency that we must stay ahead of is the tendency to relegate diligence in fellowship. The work of God is in and through us, but we must give due diligence to His work in us. Mary, despite being the mother of Jesus had to wait in the upper room with the rest of the apostles to receive the Holy Ghost like every other person.(See Acts 1:1-14 ). God worked through her to give Jesus, but His work in her was to ensure that she was not just around salvation, but she received it as well, and that Jesus wasn't just brought forth through her, but that she also received the Christ. It's tragic to be around, but not in. It's tragic to serve, but not partake.

The believer is the answer to problems, because God needs to get those answers to those in need of it, and the yielded and available believer is that avenue! That's the work of God through you. It's a subtle trap to believe that because you lead people in prayer for hours on end, then you can get away with not cultivating your own prayer culture. It's risky to not study scriptures for personal growth just because you teach by utterance, and it's even worse to study only when you have to teach. At the end of the day, it's important that we realize that we are sent to people.

Ministry gifts are for the benefit of the Saints, and not for they themselves (See Ephesians 4:16). To be anointed is to be the person equipped to bear the burdens of others. Imagine that people are trapped in a burning house and someone has to jump out the window (possibly to their death) to get help for others. The person that jumps is the anointed one. We're actually called into offices for the benefit of other saints.

We must learn to pay attention to the work of God in us. A teacher of the word can have utterance to teach others, but yet can be so aloof of the very light that has passed through them. That you help others grow doesn't automatically mean you're growing. It doesn't come with the package! You have to diligently give yourself to the word. You're sent to others, not to you. The minister must therefore also be dedicated to personal growth, otherwise, you could find yourself in need of the conviction that you're helping others build! That it passed through you doesn't mean it has dwelt richly in you. Elisha's dead body raised a dead man. Life flowed through him, but he stayed dead. The minister is also a child of God that must grow. The teacher must be submitted to constantly being taught, and the prayer leader must also be led in prayer. The work of God through us shouldn't hinder the work of God in us.

DECLARE THIS: I am diligent in the word and prayer. I permit and give attention to God's work in me. Light flows through me, and light dwells in me. Glory!

Daily Devotional (March 22, 2024) SUBMIT TO TEACHING.

Scripture Reference: 2 Timothy 3:16-17 - All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.”

(Pastoring) Teachers are given by God to help us understand scriptures. You must have one. In scriptures, the order is being called into Christ to be under the tutelage of a man. This is why Paul told the church in Corinth to "Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ"(See 1 Corinthians 11:1).

In scriptures, students were submitted under their Rabbis to learn scriptures and to learn life (consider Andrew as John's disciple before Jesus came, Paul as Gamaliel's student, Timothy as Paul's disciple, and of course Jesus' twelve disciples). We all have the Holy Spirit, the first and ultimate Teacher, however, God Himself promised us pastors and teachers after His own heart to feed us with knowledge and understanding (See Jeremiah 3:15), which means that without a pastor and teacher (or a pastoring teacher), a believer cannot be fed with knowledge and understanding according to God's heart. That's the word of God. That's the order of God.

Teachers are graced with time, the inclination, the skill, and the discernment to see things in God's precious word that you might ordinarily miss. You will have questions as you study, and the Lord will point you to your Bible teacher/ pastor, not because He doesn't have all the answers, but because He wants you submitted to authority within the confines of discipleship. Every believer is called to Christ under authority. You must have a Bible teacher.

DECLARE THIS: I am submitted to teaching. I am a diligent student of scriptures. I pay attention to sound teaching and I am equipped and built up. Glory!

Daily Devotional (March 21, 2024) SPEAK LIFE.

Scripture Reference: 1 Peter 3:10 - For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.

What we say has the ability to make things happen and our words pull our lives in the direction of what we speak (our confessions and declarations). We must understand that we have the advantage because of the access we have to God's word, so, rather than declare what we see with our physical eyes, we can redirect things by the word.

The word of God is powerful because it is literally the word of God. We give first place to certain instructions because of who said it, the power they wield and the authority they have which comes with the position they occupy. Presidential orders are promptly obeyed, why? Because The President gave the order. It's not so much about what was said, it's more about who said it. (Selah). If people occupying leadership positions can cause things to happen to the degree of the authority they have, then we must understand how powerful God is, and appreciate the gift of His word.

God's word is so powerful that it can create. To reiterate what we learnt yesterday, God's word is so powerful that it can produce something out of nothing. So, in Genesis 1, we see a world grossly dark and almost hopeless with the inability to produce light. But because God called light forth, light came. Why? Because God said! Not necessarily what was said, but who said it. While Peter might not had initially had the ability to walk on water in Matthew 14, because Jesus said "come" that ability was produced in him. This is how powerful the word of God is. We are so blessed that God didn't only give us access to His word, He also granted us the accompanying authority to effect that word. (See Mark 16:17-18).

Let's choose to speak God's word, not just over ourselves but over others. We are life-giving spirits (See 1 Corinthians 6:17, 1 Corinthians 15:45, 47). Our tongues have the functions of dispensing life and death. Let's choose life. Let's choose to dispense life. God's word has the ability to cause things to be.

DECLARE THIS: I speak the word of God only. I understand that I am powerful, therefore I choose to speak only edifying words. My speech is seasoned with salt and through the word of God, I call forth the good that I want to see. Glory.

 

Daily Devotional (March 20, 2024) SANCTIFICATION BY THE WORD.

Scripture Reference: Ephesians 5:26-27 - That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish

To be sanctified is to be declared clean and holy. It is to be cleansed from dirt and impurities. In Christ, our sins are blotted out, and we are washed clean (See Isaiah 1:18). Even the vilest of men are made pure and are not as good as brand new, but truly brand new. The clean do not need cleansing. It is those who cannot wash themselves that Christ came for (See Mark 2:17).The priests in the Old Testament, because they were under the law had to wash themselves before entering the Tent of Meeting or standing on the altar before God. God instructed Moses to erect a bronze basin where they would immerse themselves that they would not die (by the stipulation of the law), as nothing unclean could stand before God by (See Exodus 30:20).

To present themselves pure, clean and worthy to stand before God, they had to wash themselves. In other words, they were doing the washing by themselves (works), in comparison with us who are made clean and sanctified by Christ Himself (grace). Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of the law, and by Him and in Him, we are cleansed once and for all through the shedding of His blood on the cross. We no longer need a ritualistic washing with water to stand before Abba, because Christ has made us worthy to come before God. In Christ, we have received the purification from sins (Hebrews 1:3), and can therefore now approach God's throne boldly with the assurance that we can stand before Him because He called us.

We might not always feel worthy, but we must understand that our feelings do not define us. God's word does. He calls us worthy, and He can't "uncall" us what He has called us, because His word is steadfast and unchanging, and His mind about us is made up; He will never stop seeing us through the lens of His Son. Now, what do we do when we do not feel worthy or clean Ephesians 5:25-27. Let's see "Husbands, love your wives [seek the highest good for her and surround her with a caring, unselfish love], just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, so that He might sanctify the church, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word [of God). so that [in turn] He might present the church to Himself in glorious splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy [set apart for God] and blameless"

Emphasis on verse 26, how did Christ cleanse us (the church)? By washing us by the washing of water with His word. See again verse 26, it is Christ, not us that presents us without spot or wrinkle. We are clean enough for Him because He did the cleansing. We can never meet His standards through works. Let's see John 17:17. It says "Sanctify them by Yourtruth. Your word is truth!" So, when you dont feel clean or worthy to come before God? first, know that because you feel unclean doesn't mean that you are unclean. Your feelings are not as true as the word of God. To bring your mind to the consciousness of your worthiness and cleanliness, take a bath in the word!

Immerse yourself in the reality of the word of God. Dive in and let the word do it's thorough work of washing. We don't speak the word to be clean, or to make ourselves clean just like we don't study to make ourselves approved. We study to show ourselves approved (See 2 Timothy 2:15). These are different things. We're already approved, and the Holy Ghost is the evidence that God approves of us (See Romans 3:22, 2 Corinthians 1:21-22).

Likewise, we are already made clean, but we speak the word to bring ourselves to the consciousness of this reality. (Selah). When you don't feel worthy, the last thing you should do is be quiet. Speak the word until those feelings align. Speak the word until those feelings of shame and guilt give way. Speak the word. It's a cleansing agent. Speak your reality. The word of God is a cleansing agent.

DECLARE THIS: I have been made clean and holy in Christ. This is my reality and I walk in it. I constantly renew my mind in this consciousness by the word of God. Glory!

Daily Devotional (March 19, 2024) REST.

Scripture Reference: Hebrews 4:10-11 - For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief

To give some balance to what we learnt yesterday, rest is not laziness, neither is it a license for irresponsibility. Rest is not devoid of work, but full complete work that we have received to do more.

So, not being anxious for anything comes from an understanding that there is a more seamless, supernatural way to go about our work. We don't stop working, rather we adopt divine help by the spirit as we go about our business. We wok with an understanding that in Christ, fruitless toiling as was Adam's curse is not our portion.

Let's see Philippians 2:12. It says "Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed-not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence-continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling.." First the text says work out, not work for. We have received Christ's finished works and this is rest because we are saved not based on our own works and labour. We did nothing to be saved except believing in and accepting what was already done. Now, we do not stay dormant with what we've received. We must do something with it. We are saved to do the good works that couldn't save us. Hold that thought.

Jesus Himself commissioned us for work in John 14:12-13. See what He says, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son." So He says, there is work to do, but first we must believe on Him (rest), and then with what we receive, we're then empowered to do greater. Let's go back to Philippians. Let's see the post text to verse 12, which is verse 13. It says "for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose." This is balance. Verse 12 acknowledges that there is the working out (making proof and outward showing) of our salvation to be done, but verse 13 emphasizes that we rest in God's own work in us of willing in us to do for His good pleasure. God freed us from the burdensome toiling of work, but He didn't remove work altogether. Yes, Jesus did it all, but He did it all so that with what He did, we can do even greater.

There is a supply of food for the birds in the sky, but guess what? They have to leave their nests to get what has been made available. So, if they happen to go hungry, it is not because God did not provide, it is because they did not do the work of flying out to get their supply. In rest, we get the direction to what has been made available for us, and this is our advantage. We are not clueless or confused, but by the leading of the Spirit, we know what to do and where to go. True rest is not worked for, it is received from God to work with and to be worked from.

DECLARE THIS: I am at rest in God's commitment towards me. I work from rest. I am empowered to do more. I partner with God by receiving what He has done, and producing greater with it. I am a diligent workman. Glory!

Daily Devotional (March 18, 2024) SLAVES TO RIGHTEOUSNESS - Part 2.

Scripture Reference: Romans 6:18 - “Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.”

If we celebrate the freedom of being owned by Christ, we must also celebrate the chains that come with being owned by Christ. If we celebrate the power of His resurrection, we must celebrate the fellowship of His sufferings (See Philippians 3:10). He has freed us from something to make us bound to something. He has saved us from the dominion and authority of sin to be under the authority of righteousness. We have not only been saved from the consequences of sin, but from the dominion of it.

We must not only be excited about the blessings of our new life, we must also embrace the responsibilities that come with them. As we celebrate that we have been made holy in Christ, we must also embrace the confines that come with holiness. We must accept that with the gift of holiness comes the pertinence to not roll in the mud and get ourselves stained. We must accept that with the gift of ownership by the Spirit comes the pertinence of consecration. If the Holy Ghost is the occupant of our bodies, we must understand that we are hallowed ground and therefore live as such.

Ultimately, we are all slaves, either to Christ or another authority. (Romans 6:16). Christianity is fellowship with dictates. Christianity is accepting to live by new dictates. As we enjoy the pros of this new life, we must not evade the dictates that come with it. We are all ultimately under an authority; Whether Christ's or the world's

DECLARE THIS: I am a bondservant of Christ, sold out to His will and purposes. I live with the consciousness of the Lordship of Jesus over me. Glory!

Popular sermons online

As the concept suggests, a preacher is one who practices the art of preaching. The word "preaching" is originally associated with the religious sphere of activity. Language researchers note that of all religious texts, this word - like the type of activity itself - is most closely associated with Christianity. Preachers teach Bible truths when speaking to believers or unbelievers. 

Most of the Bible's sermons are in the New Testament. The sermon, as we find it in the Book of Acts and the Epistles, is expressive, but at the same time brief. It is built on the fundamental truths of Christianity: the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The preaching of the Church, in whatever form it is delivered - be it an ardent call to repentance for sins and salvation or the gospel story of a relationship with God and people - is by nature Christocentric.

Christian online preaching isn’t just a statement of spiritual truths, but as a sacred act, during which the preacher, in cooperation with the Lord the Holy Spirit, accomplishes the work of salvation for unbelieving listeners and the process of spiritual growth for the saved. Words spoken by a person cannot strengthen faith, but the biblical sermon in the mouths of preachers has a special power that can transform a person's soul. It is on this supernatural power of preaching that the preacher's authority is established.

Despite the fact that the evangelical Church teaches about the priesthood of every born-again Christian, in the work of biblical preaching, special attention is paid to the character and moral character of the preacher. The moral right to proclaim eternal biblical truths, to preach the Gospel from the pulpit or in another setting on behalf of the Church, can not only be those who know these truths, but who have Christian virtues, a character that reflects Christ. We are talking about a person who sincerely loves God and the people to whom he addresses, deeply interested in the eternal and earthly well-being of his listeners. A person with the good name of a Christian, who has a "good testimony" confirmed by time and the Church. Since we are talking about eternal, enduring truths, the writing of which was inspired by the holy God, proclaim them on behalf of the Author, i.e. of God Himself, it is permissible for the one who knows Him personally, has constant communion with Him and obeys Him implicitly. From the point of view of the essence and basis of the message that he proclaims, the preacher is not the author of his message and therefore doesn’t have the right to change the truths being proclaimed. He represents the interests and fulfills the will of the One who authorized him for this with the authority of His glorious name, and, therefore, the preacher is obliged to accurately convey to his audience what was entrusted to him by God. Freely interpreting Scripture and presenting to the audience their own interpretation of eternal biblical truths, posing as God's revelation on behalf of God, is not only a distortion of the truth, but also an ethical violation that entails consequences. However, in the sermon, it is not forbidden to mention personal experience, as well as the experience of other people, examples from various areas of public life to the extent that these examples correspond to the truth and contribute to a more accurate and understandable message of it.  

Of course, in the modern world, taking into account the development of communications, a preacher is expected to possess the skills of oratory. This is not a strict requirement, but it is always encouraged, as it is an undeniable advantage and serves the greater benefit and success of the preaching work.

There are many preachers in modern Christianity who have achieved recognized success in the preaching work.
