Apostolic Preachers

What is required of thee young man. Does the LORD take delight in thousands of rams, In ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I present my firstborn for my rebellious acts, The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?  He has told you, O man, what is good; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justice, to love kindness, And to walk humbly with your God? (Micah 6:8). Preparing to go to a weekend of meetings, its a small building, folks that are believers and love God, Fijian and Welsh, English. Looking forward to it. My brother was sharing his concern, "I want to do things professional you know!"  He said, that's admirable! It got me thinking. It's amazing how much time we spend on the unimportant things, the microphones, the speakers, the lectern, the projector. All these things are good, but are they the things that the Lord requires? The things that we see as important are not really important at all, in fact we spend most of our money and time o

  1. Don't Puppet Preach The in thing is not a good thing! What popular is now a joke! "Somebody say, amen." "Somebody turn to your neighbor" "Somebody say, praise the Lord" This is not primary school. We're not kids! You should have enough anointing "in the pulpit to make people want to shout "hallelujah" and "praise the Lord" without any provoking or hint whatsoever from you. If there is no anointing in your preaching, don't manipulate it. Don't tell us to "praise the Lord" just so that you can feel as if folks are listening to you, don't just say "talk to me" because no one is really paying you any attention. Its condescending and amateurish.  There should be enough power in the pulpit to make the dead rise, the lame walk and the unbridled tongues of the saints , catch fire. If its not happening in the church then stay in the closet until it happens to you. Dead men can't r

Convert me, convict me, correct me and bother me, but please O please don't bore me or waste my time... Is the quality of preaching today lower than that of our forefathers? They knew how to preach and teach and present the Word of God not only in an intelligent manner but also in a way that provoked thought, stirred the conscience and brought one under conviction. I'm well aware of my apostolic brothers know these things. However there are many churches that have no standards of truth and presentation and as a traveling preacher visiting many different organizations and denominations, I don't see to often, passionate, soul stirring, articulated, creative and meaningful preaching. Lets tackle the root problem. Entering the ministry for the wrong reasons. Here are some of them. 1. The call of God is not seeing a need and filling it. Don't mistake the need for a speaker on a mid day meeting for the call of God to ministry. If you have no call you should take no pul

Good Preaching "Our preaching needs to be so hot that the devil has to go back to hell in order to cool down" ( 49 On Fire Preaching Keys by Paul B Thomas) #GOOD PREACHING: IS SIMPLE Truth is simple, the gospel uncomplicated, revelation was sweet and the gospel unadulterated. I see much deep teaching today, so deep its like muddy waters, I can't see what men are saying! When Jesus spoke he is words were understood by everybody, his doctrine pure. his message direct. Its my guess that if a man knows truth he can communicate it clear. Other than that the more he says the less he knows and the more he tries to uncover the bigger the hole he falls into. #GOOD PREACHING: IS PURE Truth has fallen in the streets. All our energies and ministries are to be directed to the preaching of salvation. without such all our growth strategies, plans and goals are of no value. If salvation is not taught as doctrine daily then our character shall be corrupt and our fa

The Preacher and his message We don't need boring preachers. There is nothing worse than wasting the precious times of others and having nothing to say and knowing it. We don't need you to take up our time. We do need you to hear for the Lord and speak with boldness, conviction and understanding and give us something to go home with. Don't add to scripture by giving your view or take away from scripture by giving it a different meaning. Scripture can explain itself and does, when taught in context. Keep the text within its context. If you're preaching from the New Testament letters stick to what the letters are saying. They were written as letters and to add another subject to whats originally given is to do injustice to the letter itself. Don't take one verse and talk about something entirely different rather use all the verses around the text to explain your chosen verse. What then makes a preacher a good preacher. I would say a good preacher is more than a g
