*God must be full in preaching too*
-Eddy Joel Silsbee
Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ, the Bread of Life.
How many countries am I around;
How many thousands of people attended his meeting;
In how many Towns and Streets, the poster was publicized;
How many people were healed and witnessed if he prayed;
How many miracles did I perform;
How I was and how I am now;
Singing own praises,
Telling fables,
Singing conventional songs in-between,
Speaking of proverbs,
Cracking jokes in between,
Periodically demanding the crowd to shout "Halleluah / Praise the Lord",
quoting out “very few verses” in an hour-long sermon and ending with a blessing and completes with Amen three times - pulpits has become the self proclaiming platforms !! !!
It is rare to find any explanation of a verse, a teaching of the truth, the implications of biblical incidents, or an instruction of how to carry and implement the essentiality of scripture into people's daily lives !!
Young men and women *return home with thirst* !!
…. Behold, the days come, saith the Lord Jehovah, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of Jehovah. And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east; they shall run to and fro to seek the word of Jehovah, and shall not find it. In that day shall the fair virgins and the young men faint for thirst. Amos 8: 11-13
The profession of preaching to the city - can help to fill one's own stomach .. but will surely loose one's own soul.
Let us practice, obey and listen to the verse first in our own lives instead of just mere reading, hearing, proclaiming and memorizing scriptures.
God's blessings come automatically !!
