PREACHING TIPS

SOME TIPS FOR EFFECTIVE PREACHING 


Preaching is the art of communicating divine truth through human persons. A preacher is essentially a communicator. He receives truth from God and communicates if effective to men.
God gives the revelation and man provides the presentation.
1. Wait unto God:
Firstly, he must learn how to wait on God. Sit before the presence of God and listen God’s voice speaking within his own heart. God is the foundation of all knowledge. The effective preachers’ first task is to receive thoughts from God. Avoid rushing into God’s presence to get a message in urgent.

2. Study the Bible:
The preacher should come before God with his Bible in hand. Take time in quiet and patient before God to hear from God. Ask God for illumination and inspiration on His Word. Spread out your Bible and read carefully with a prayerful mind. God will speak to you that time.
 3. Keep a Notebook:
A notebook to record the thoughts and ideas that come to your mind in this time of quite waiting is essential. Keep fresh your mind that thought to be filled. Practice writing down all significant points and thoughts which come to mind as you prayerfully read the scriptures. It will develop you to collect source of sermon material.
4. Be cleansed by the Word:
Try to avoid over-confidence that you can do everything at any time. Do not always be looking spiritual bullets to fire at someone. Recognise the primary need of your own heart that God speaks to you first. Plant and harvest you first and given to others. 2 Tim. 2:6. You should never feed others what you have not eaten first.
