DAILY DEVOTION MCZ MISSION DEPARTMENT
2 Timothy 4:2
Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.
The word of God is suitable for all times
What makes people uncomfortable with certain sermons is not the content of the preaching. It is rather the conviction of the Holy Spirit that calls us to repentance. Instead of embracing the word of admonition enticing us to assess our lives and align with the will of God, we find ourselves in defence mode. We become uncomfortable because we are not ready and unwilling to give up our sin.
What we should know however is that, there is never a right time to leave sin nor is the devil ever ready to let go of those he has captured. Preachers must therefore go out there and preach the word of life without fear so that the conviction of the Holy Spirit may come upon those they preach to. We do not only preach upon pulpits and neither do we have to be ordained preachers or ministers to preach the word, but our lives must be pulpits from where the word of life is preached day in and day out.
Prayer
Oh Lord, help me to preach your word to those in sin so that the Holy Spirit may convict them and bring them into your kingdom. May I live a holy life everyday because I am a letter from which others must learn and take into their own lives the good habits that stem from holiness.
