1Corinthians 14:3-4
"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."
When we preach God's Word; It must be encased with the Blood of Jesus Christ, His Death and Resurrection; to build up and to increase a man's knowledge of Christian truth and his ability to live the Christian life. It must aim to encourage! In every group of people there are those who are depressed and discouraged. Dreams will not come true; effort seems to have achieved so little; self-examination serves to show nothing but failures and inadequacies.
Within the Christian fellowship, a man should find something to cheer his heart and mend a broken spirit. A service may begin by humbling a man through showing him his sin, but it is a failure unless it ends by pointing him to the grace of God that can enable him to conquer it. It must aim to comfort. In any company of people there will always be some whom life has hurt; and within the Christian fellowship they must be able to find beauty for their ashes, the oil of joy for mourning and the garment of praise for the spirit of their heaviness.
The Scriptures gives us the things which for Paul were the background and the substance of all preaching and we as Preacher's, Teacher's, Missionary's and soul seekers that go daily and speak to others about Jesus Christ. My Friend, The Holy Bible is our Road Map And The Holy Spirit is our Guide. It must be remembered; "it comes from a direct revelation from God." "No man can speak to others unless God has first spoken to him."
Amen!
