Preach the Word...!

2 Timothy 4:2-5 NKJV

Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

† Shalom †......! Day #161. Do you know that you must preach the Word and not from the word? Let us pray. Father, we pray that You would give us a deeper understanding of Your word so that we would preach the Word boldly,  we would preach Jesus to all. Let us not preach from any other word but only preach the Word, Jesus. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Friends, the final commandments the Lord gave to us is Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,  teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Today we are so caught up in doing our own business and we forget to do the Lord's business. We must be ready in season or out of season anytime prepared to preach the Word not from the Word. There's a few interesting points here we going to look into.

1. Preach the Word
» Many of us are preaching something else. We are not preaching the word. We tend to twist and turn the Word and we compromise the word just to please the church because fear of losing the church members. We preach from the word and not the word. We preach from every word we get from anywhere else. From the Internet, from people and etc. Yet we do not preach the LIVING WORD! Apostle Paul says,  "preach the word" he did not say "preach from the word." When you preach the Word, you are preaching Jesus. Preach Jesus to everyone. That's the responsibility of a soul winner. We are the soul winner.

2. Be ready
» friends,  we must be ready for everything.  Prepare yourself to do the works of the ministry.  Being ready at any point and hour of you life to be the witnesses of God. Not just in season, which is you have prepared everything you needed to preach, to minister and so on, but in out of season which is,  to be prepared even at the hours you least expect that God would ask you to do something crazy. May you be found prepared for both seasons. 

3. Advising.
» Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. We are to advice, encourage, impart, pray for one another,  to rebuke and rebuild.  If we are lack of this, well then we are not even preaching to Word to see life transformed. Teach them with longsussering and with love. Not judgementally, but in love through love.

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. This thing is already happening.  People are finding teachera of the on the Internet,  Facebook, and many other social media and they have refused to digest the TRUE LIVING WORD in their lives. They will heap up for themselves teachers from the Facebook, internets and so on. So they compromise the truth of the Word of God and they began to believe in a lie.

But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry. The word "evangelist" come from the word "evangelion" which mean translated from the Greek word εὐαγγέλιον meaning "Good News". So an evangelists is actually a preacher of the good news, the Word of God. The message of the Cross. The message of salvation. Are you doing the works of an evangelist?

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
