Preachers of the Bible are usually workers of the Kingdom of God. It is very good to do the will of God, to do ministry, fellowship with brethren, pray and stand in the gap as long as the ultimate prize of going to heaven is also not missed by the worker.
There is "That Thing" in every Preacher's life that he needs to come to terms with and accept he needs to deal with if he is to fully accomplish his goal and not miss the prize. As a preacher, you have problably led many people to salvation, performed miraculous works by the power of God, shared with the poor, done spiritual warfare. All these are good things but there is need to re-examine your self and get rid of "That Thing" that is not needed in your life that is leading you to hell.
Take time to do self assessment as a worker of the Kingdom of God. It is very good to pray for people, minister to the saints, work miracles, annoint the sick and lead people to salvation. However if on that day, that day of Judgement, you are found wanting, it will be very bad for you. If on that day, Jesus will shout out to you "Get out of my sight you worker of iniquity, i never knew you" it will be very bad. The Bible says that "<< Luke 13 >>25Once the owner of the house gets up and closes the door, you will stand outside knocking and pleading, ‘Sir, open the door for us.’
“But he will answer, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’
26“Then you will say, ‘We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.’
27“But he will reply, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from. Away from me, all you evildoers!’
28“There
will be weeping there, and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you
yourselves thrown out. 29People will come from east and west and north and south, and will take their places at the feast in the kingdom of God. 30Indeed there are those who are last who will be first, and first who will be last.”
Well, we can go on and on but the point is clear. What is that thing in your life that you need to repent of as a Preacher? You have kept it so well hidden in your heart. You may probably even just be finding that out right now. You feel deep down that you need a change. The people you minister to do not see the wrong in you. I urge you not to let your heart be hardened with pride or even anger. You need to break down right before God Almighty and ask for forgiveness.
This is what i would call a defining moment. This a time or point you reach in in your life and you realize that a veil has just been broken right in-front of you! You feel like a curtain has been drawn and a bright light is shining through. Suddenly you realize that you can see in yourself what you could not see before. This is what i call your defining moment. This is the time to change that which is wrong. This is the time to change that Thing. Preacher, do not hold back. Get on your knees, weep, repent and get rid of that thing. Preacher!!! Save Your Self!!!!
Fight the good fight of faith, run the race and win the race. Preacher, Save Yourself. God bless you.
