God blesses the man or woman who would teach and carry others along with them. He blesses the man or woman who would have other men and women walk like Him and act like Him. God blesses people who multiply His influence; He blesses people who want to see others be like Christ.
There’s something Pastor Chris says: “One thing I will do all my life is teach people God’s Word and show them the place God wants them to be, and as long as they believe in it, they will always prosper, they will always succeed and the devil would not be able to put them down.” That’s so inspiring. To spend your whole life teaching people where God has placed them and educating them about spiritual things is a great thing, it’s an honour and a privilege.
The preacher spends his life doing the work of a doctor, lawyer, teacher, builder… He has to be very versatile because he finds himself in contact with different people with different needs. Like the apostle Paul, he has to become all things to all people (1 Corinthians 9:22). He has to be a comforter to the depressed, a defender of the oppressed, a father and mother to the orphan. He would do everything possible to win people and establish them in the truth. He would house people, love people, feed people, and touch people others would not dare to touch. In spite of all these, he does not look to the ones he has taught and helped to repay him; he looks to God, the Author and Finisher of his faith, because he recognizes God as his source. That’s a brief look at the life of the great preachers of God’s great gospel. You too could become a great preacher of God’s great gospel right where you are.
