But we will continue to devote ourselves steadfastly to prayer and the ministry of the Word. (Acts 6:4 Amp)

This is one of the key verses in the Bible to help a novice minister be a successful tool for the Master. Preaching has nothing to do with popularity, titles, or position. The successful minister is the one that realizes that sharing God’s Word is a divine call and privilege that can’t be done in one’s own strength.

The Apostles took this charge so seriously that they knew total devotion to prayer and study was paramount. A preacher that doesn’t devote his life to prayer and study is a potential false prophet. Satan loves preachers that say “I’m to busy to study” or “I don’t think preachers need formal Bible training.”

The gospel preacher must devote his (or her) life to purity of doctrine. Paul warned Timothy to avoid fables and old wives tales. It’s very easy for preachers to get involved in the “flavor of the month” teachings. In last 20 years we have been bombarded with the “faith” message, “prosperity gospel”, “Spiritual Warfare”, and “Prophecy”. Every one is an “Apostle” or “Bishop”; no one is simply a Gospel preacher. Don’t get caught up in trends and hype. Be lead by the Holy Ghost and walk in your calling. I have been preaching 23 years. I have done the work of an evangelist, and served in pastoral capacities, but I am called to teach. My anointing is that of a teacher. It would be foolish to try and be anything else. I live to study and teach the Word of God. We need more “Martin Luther’s” in the church today. Too much of our teaching today is unbalanced. We have churches teaching crazy things like you have to speak in tongues to be saved, Christians should never get sick, or you can only be saved in MY church! Wake up saints and speak out against false teaching! There are churches that teach everyone has a demon, yes some people need demons cast out! However some problems are not demon powered but human error! Teaching the truth can solve more problems in the church than by casting out a “demon”.

Although we try to get a word daily sometimes we run out of time to search the scriptures and sometimes we want to hear a word from a preacher and we can't.You can now go to www.preachingallday.com and hear messages of inspiration from men of God.We want to enrich your spiritual experience daily through preachingallday.com. It cost nothing to log in daily to recieve a word from the many preachers at preachingallday.com. Come and be encouraged through the word of God at preachingallday.com. Sermons are added weekly.

We truly need to go back to fasting and praying like the saints of old. Something has happened that has closed the mouths of our church mother who would tell you to loosen up, cover up, put on and take off, The clothes children and adults are wearing into the house of God is so disrespectful, I have to sit in service sometimes with my eyes closed not to be distracted. It needs to be addressed from the top to the bottom. Now I can say I was at a prayer breakfast recently and the issue came up and one young lady was there with pants on, and she stated that she would begin wearing dresses. She said she had not been wearing pants because she didnt have other choices she just had not been told of the standards of COGIC and wearing pants to church. We cannot be closed mouthed about the things of God and his church.

I have no idea what is going on with the dress code! I think and have been told nothing is done to adress it because of the fear of driving away members. Therefore, some where whatever they want revealing or not. I understand that some just don't have the money to change their wardrobe . That is when we need to help and donate.
