 Yeah, so so after considering the Lord Jesus how he ministered the word so we looked at You know as new testament ministers who are living on this side of the cross the new dispensation With the Holy Spirit in dwelling us and with the written Scriptures, you know, what are some things to consider as we prepare ourselves like to minister the word So we looked at several things and in the end I think towards the end we looked at You know how we Personal walk with God is very important because we see that In the life of especially with Peter and John and they were at the temple that people The the high priest and the other scribes and everyone who were there They noticed that one thing they noticed was that they had been with Jesus because they they were untrained men they were uneducated men but The way they spoke and Peter was also, you know quoting from from scripture When he was talking to them and and the way They spoke with so much boldness They realized scripture says that they realized that they had been with Jesus and we see that and accept the four and was 13 so So that's that is something which is very very important Necessary for us. We are able to speak with boldness speak with conviction And it's something real to us You know something that is that we are experiencing that we're receiving the life of God We're experiencing, you know, what he's pointing to what he's showing us We are we're learning that and we're understanding that and then we are sharing that Okay, and and lastly we also saw that You know about revelation that continuous revelation leads to continuous ministry and we see revelation And it could be an adding on to something that has already been revealed, you know Something adding on to the truth or it could be something. They are totally different totally new, right? And also we saw that without anointing and Enlightenment and elimination and revelation You know the scriptures When we expound it or when we communicate it that will be just something that is from our natural mind Which is which is also good, right? But there is so much more because we are called to you know This is something that is for us as believers as New Testament ministers that the Holy Spirit wants to Lead us in these manner in this manner He wants to open up our minds open up our hearts to the hidden treasures of scripture and Especially you know when it comes to the work of the spirit Which is praying in the spirit praying in tongues one couldn't in 14 one could in 14 talks about that where we When we pray in a tongue, we pray the mysteries of God Mysteries are things that are hidden for us For us to discover for us to walk in so these Mysteries of God are revealed to our spirit by the Holy Spirit when we pray in the spirit When we pray in tongues, so these are ways by which we you know, we we walk in revelation We walk in understanding we walk in the anointing And we minister right we even as we prepare we lean on all these In order to receive the word in order to minister the word, right? So let's look at you know some more as New Testament ministers, you know, what is the equipping that is? That is there for us, right the equipping that is there for us as New Testament ministers and just going to look at the one passage of scripture that is in second Corinthians chapter one kids second Corinthians chapter one and Let's sorry chapter three verse one three and verse one, okay Let's just read through verse one to twelve and see you know, what is it that we can learn from? learn To be New Testament ministers as New Testament ministers, what is it? What are some things that we can learn from this passage? Okay, so verse one do we begin again to commend ourselves or do we need as some others? Epistles of commendation to you or letters of commendation from you Verse two you are our episode written in our hearts known and read by all men Clearly you are an episode of Christ Ministered by us Written not with ink, but by the spirit of the living God Not on tablets of stone, but on tablets of flesh that is of the heart And we have such trust through Christ toward God Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves But our sufficiency is from God Who has also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant? Not of the letter but of the spirit for the letter kills, but the spirit gives life but if the ministry of death Written and engraved on stones was glorious So that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of the countenance Which glory was passing away How will the ministry of the spirit not be more glorious? For if the ministry of condemnation had glory the ministry of righteousness Exceeds much more in glory For even what was made glorious had no glory in this respect because of the glory that excels For if what is passing away was glorious what remains is much more glorious Therefore, since we have such hope we use great boldness of speech And that passage continues with an example of Moses and so on, right? So So he's writing here all is writing here to the quarantines and he's talking about Something very important as ministers of the new covenant, right? And he's saying okay as ministers of the new covenant He's referring to himself right and his team and as ministers of the new covenant This is what we have been made and And this is how you are this is how we relate to you. So he's talking to the believers in the quarantine church Okay, so we look at verse 2. Okay, so So the context is this, you know, he's saying, you know, do we need it letters of condemn? Commendation or do we need come letters of commendation from you? Or do we need to give you? Yeah, like need to give you in the sense, you know, you know our reputation, you know You know how we were he is referring to all that because they were not really Port fell that okay, they were not considering them as There were other apostles false apostles and you know, they were giving them a lot of respect and even though they were they were actually ministering and they were out to Get they were out to get what they could actually from the people and not really give So the intention their motives that it was everything was everything was wrong So here that is why he's talking about, you know, do we need to give you letters of commendation? Or do we need letters of commendation from you? Right? So it was to he says you are our episode written in our hearts known and read by all men So he's saying that you are a represent in the sense you are your life Everything about you. It's like a letter an epistle a letter and you are written in our hearts Okay, so you are written in our hearts. So so that's the first thing that we see that well people must be in our hearts right as as Ministers of the new covenant as we you know when it comes to preaching when it comes to comes to ministering with the word the people must be in our hearts. So what does that mean? That means that You know, the objective is that people need to be identified and people need to have a special place in our hearts We cannot be detached Isolated Totally distanced from people You know as as ministers Okay, so In the sense, you know, some might be called to be evangelists like you're in a different Different second. I mean you're facing different audiences all the time Maybe you're traveling and equipping and at the same time You know, while it is not possible to know the congregation know the audience It is not possible to know each and every one of them But do they have a place in your heart in the sense? Do you esteem them? Do you care for their well-being spiritual well-being and otherwise? Do you respect them on of them? Do they have a place in your heart or? Is it is the message and the ministry so detached From what you're doing Okay from the people whom you're ministering to it's a very important question. So because So this is something that Paul says Paul says that You know, you were written in our hearts. You are in our hearts Okay We in other words, he's saying we we want you to Benefit from this we want you to receive this word We want you to we won't have we we have your best In our minds and all that Would apply right? No, but if you want to think of An example of a minister In the Bible who really did not have people in their hearts, you know, he with great Hesitancy, you know, he with dragging his feet We can think of Jonah, right? So we see that Jonah was Well, he went there finally and then he preached But then he he was not really expecting people to return He was not really expecting people to turn their hearts to God even though that is what the message was Right. That was him. That was a message You know to the people of Nineveh To repent to turn back to God In fact, it was a message of condemnation. He says 40 days and in a way shall be overthrown But the people repented in sackcloth and but But did actually Anger Jonah The fact that people should repent because they were they were the minimize where the enemies, right? and And they had done a lot of harm to them so It says in chapter 4 Jonah says it displeased Jonah exceedingly and he became angry So we look at the previous as why did it displease Jonah because God actually Relented from the disaster because he saw their works the fact that they had repented So you see Jonah is You know, he though he preached and everything he so detached from the from the message He showed I mean from the people to whom he took the message, right? so So so we see here the Paul is saying people must be written in our hearts. It's so important Do we pray for the people do we? Have a burden for the people Do we want the people to receive the word and to change or is it about us? You know, is it about us wanting to preach a good message? Is it about what's wanting to make an impression? And not about the people themselves who are the recipients of the word, right? Okay, so the second thing that we see in verse 3 is that Paul is saying first he's saying in a you are our episode You are actually in our hearts. The second thing is this you are an epistle of Christ Okay You are an epistle of Christ meaning that If if God were to write a letter, you know, we just need to look at your life a letter to others a message for others Your life your change everything you are an epistle of Christ ministered by us Written not with ink but by the spirit of the living God not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh that is of the heart So so here is saying that you know, you are an epistle and you are ministered God has written into your hearts and you are an epistle and he's written not with ink not with natural means But by the Holy Spirit Okay, so God, you know as a minister of of the New Testament we We understand that we are in God's hands he uses us to minister to people and That ministry even though we are human vessels that ministry is something where the Holy Spirit writes into the lives of people you know, it's it's not really our eloquence our Regulation our cleverness and all that but God uses all that all that As ministers, but he writes by the Holy Spirit into the hearts of people So that is where the permanent change comes that is where transformation Happens because God writes upon people's hearts We are ministers. We are servants in God's hands. He uses us definitely We are his instruments, but he writes on people's hearts by the Spirit Okay, so we see that we are always dependent on him as ministers, right? Which is the next thing which is in verse 4 says and we have such trust through Christ towards God Not that we are sufficient of ourselves To think of anything has been from ourselves from being asked from sorry anything as being from ourselves But our sufficiencies from God. So what does that mean? That mean that you know our sufficiency our ability our Dependence is from God We are not depending on ourselves You know if you look if you consider, you know, if you just look at it Paul and his missionary journeys and that church is implanted people being raised up the team of ministers Who who were raised up who were with him if you consider all that and on Paul saying that, you know We are not sufficient Nothing has been so we're not sufficient of ourselves And I think we need to take it seriously, right? So Paul is saying this is our sufficiency Do this work to raise these churches to raise these leaders? is from God Is from God so Our sufficiency is from God which which again is a very liberating thing which takes a lot of pressure of us Takes a lot of pressure of us. I'm looking at the ministry and saying this sufficiency the sufficiency to carry out this vision the sufficiency to You know to do this work The sufficiency to reach the city to touch the lives of people is from God He makes us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant Okay, so that is that is something that he says, you know and made us sufficient as miss ministers of the new covenant Okay, which is the next thing that we are ministers of new covenant. He makes us sufficient. Look at verse six says Not of the letter but of the spirit not of the letter but of the spirit For the letter kills, but the spirit gives life So we are ministers of the new covenant, which is life-giving It's it's not of the letter or of the law But of the spirit it is of grace and it is life-giving life producing And we are ministers of this new covenant which is ministers of the life-giving spirit Okay, so And then he goes on to say okay, which is the next thing which is that the ministry of the spirit is More glorious is much more and he's saying he does a lot of comparisons, right? I was a 7 to 11 If what was made glorious Even what was made glorious had no glory in this respect because of the glory that expels excels, sorry And he talks about the ministry of death and then he compares it to the ministry of Ministry ministry the glory that was passing away to glory that is Which is there which is more the ministry of the spirit Ministry of the condemnation Compares that with ministry of righteousness thanks saying so yeah, so don't ever in other words, you know Just try to understand What the ministry of righteousness is Which the ministry of the spirit is don't ever slip back into that Don't ever slip back into ministering for example, you know Not focusing on the cross, you know, sometimes we do that like we maybe we've heard messages like people take the law and Even if it's you know something from the new covenant or something from the New Testament We preach it as if it's we are ministers of the law Okay, a set of do's and don'ts a set of You know things to be followed Do this or else? You know do this or else? There is a place for Talking about the severity of God Okay The goodness of God you talk about the severity of God always come back To the cross and what was achieved on the cross what was changed because of the cross and What has been released to us because of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, right? Because simply because we are Ministers of the New Covenant, right? Never forget that for the letter kills the spirit gives life But the spirit actually quickens the word The spirit quickens the word he highlights takes the word and he gives life It is not death producing it is not Condemnation, but it is actually producing life. Well, that was leading up We read Romans of course when we study Romans we see the benefit or what What is the benefit of the law? Well, it was a tutor it was keeping us and He's talking to the Jewish audience, you know saying it was keeping us Yes, it was a set of do's and don'ts and all that but it was keeping us bringing us to a place and pointing to Christ that great sacrifice and Now we are Ministers of the new dispensation. We we have this righteousness which is apart from the law which is through faith in Christ okay, so never forget that because In our ministering in our zeal for ministering sometimes we might hear some message and then say wow That is nice. I need to preach that I need to share that but is it bringing people under condemnation or conviction? right, is it life-producing because the truth is always life-producing Truth always liberates and the Holy Spirit leads us into all truth guides us into all truth Right, so so that's something for us to understand. Okay, then we see The minister of the spirit is more glorious, which means it's a greater manifestation of God's working as well Which means that we don't restrict ourselves to mere words, but we open ourselves and minister The life-giving power of the Holy Spirit Okay, the life-giving power of the Holy Spirit, so it is not just You know just mere words, but we go with the expectation That the God who gave us the words will also watch over his word to perform that word and Accompany and give evidence to that word with signs wonders and miracles, which means, you know We are opening up to the you know the possibility We are of encounter with God the life-giving Spirit who will accompany and confirm the word with signs wonders and miracles, so you know, it's a it's really It's really liberating and also it is, you know So real that the God of the scriptures is God of the here and the now and He wishes to speak and he wishes to intervene and he wishes to do certain things and change certain things in the here And now, you know in people's hearts in people's You know their lives and their bodies and their minds and their you know everyday situations, right? so So a greater manifestation of God's glory a God's revelation, you know his power Minister that And and Paul In that in verse 12 he says therefore we have great boldness Since we have such hope we use great boldness of speech So he is a saying you once you understand that we are ministers of the new count and once you understand that You know there's something more glorious than the ministry of the letter or the ministry of condemnation, you know So it was a glory that was it was glorious and it was a glory that was passing away But now we have something which is much more glorious Right, so we have such hope and that hope Gives us so much boldness and courage and clarity so We see all that in In this passage here, right? so so the thing is this that it is it talks about this as it talks about our our perception our attitude towards the people And also our understanding of who actually brings about change it also Shows us okay where our dependence is where our sufficiency is Right and also our understanding that we are ministers of the life-giving life-producing spirit And it's much more glorious So don't slip back into the law and so don't slip back into a ministry of condemnation bring people or expose people facilitate people to have an encounter with the life-giving spirit Right and and because we have such hope we can use great boldness of speech and we can be courageous And we can be bold in this right and so that is something that we see okay So now the while when we while you minister the word now it could have different objectives Okay, so what do we mean by that now at the end result? Could be you know, yes, it is always productive. It's food producing but it brings Right different objectives, right? So let's look at that. So we when we look at one coin since chapter 14 and verse 6 Where Paul is writing about the gifts and he's saying but now brethren if I come to you speaking with tongues What shall I profit you unless I speak to you and the and he writes about you know, four different things unless I speak to you by either by revelation by knowledge by prophesying or by teaching okay by revelation by knowledge by prophesying or by teaching so which means that you know If if I communicate this then you are being profited in other words. That's what it means, right? What shall I profit you unless I do this so which means that if I if I do this You are being Profited right there is benefit And you are being edified right, but if I'm going to be praying in tongues and He's talking about praying in tongues without the interpretation then it's not going to really bring in much Edification to you, you know before that he says okay if I pray in a tongue, you know my spirit praise and I'm being edified All that is true while that is true To a congregation when I'm bringing a message If it's going to be a message in tongues now without the interpretation then it's going it's not going to be helpful but What will be helpful and what will be beneficial is if I bring a message and if I speak to you by Revelation okay, so we so we saw what revelation is revelation is the elimination of truth By the Holy Spirit it is the revealing of something So that has been hidden for us to be found, right? God has kept these mysteries this revelation these treasures And it is so that we might find it is so that we might We might it's kept there so that it might be revealed for us So we see that you know one content step to one where Sorry chapter 2 and verse 10 If you read 9 and 10 as it is written I Has not seen nor you heard nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love him Verse 10, but God has revealed them to us Through his spirit for the searches for the spirit searches all things. Yes, the deep things of God Okay, so it says that you know what? Yeah, I have not seen no yarn heard you heard or no I entered into the man heart of man the things that this God has prepared for us, but It doesn't stop there. Well, God has revealed them to us. Okay, so this revelation So there is a you know when we preach when we communicate we can bring a revelation of Truth that has been hidden Okay, and which has been eliminated to us by the Holy Spirit So so it brings elimination to people's hearts, you know, it's just it suddenly it's like Unlocking certain things, you know, some some things make sense. I remember, you know listening to You know someone many years ago, and it was it was actually on up apologetics really, you know, he was he was talking about On apologetics and he was talking to us about apologetics and and suddenly, you know, that was the first time I'm just you know receiving this revelation about God saying let us man make man in our image and I've never noticed that Before he's saying, you know the Trinity being mentioned there let us make man in our In our own images that fact that Jesus was there at creation and all that right? So it was a revelation. You know, it's something that the Holy Spirit testified witness in my heart saying hey, this is This is something that you don't know and then this is something that has been revealed. So there is revelation So you can when we bring in revelation, right? It benefits people it profits people The second thing could be knowledge meaning noses or Spiritual understanding spiritual information Okay, now that is also beneficial it We cannot say that only revelation by the spirit Is beneficial well spiritual information, which means principles precepts That are there in scripture Spiritual bringing spiritual understanding spiritual information to things that are there in scripture It could be a principle. It could be you know a precept and we are bringing That understanding Okay, so revelation knowledge prophesying Bringing a you know a here and now word Something that is inspired by the spirit now when we prophesy it could be a word of something that is edifying something that is encouraging and Something that is comforting to the people like one contains 14 Talks about he who prophesies peace speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men so We are speaking to people as inspired by God So, you know in a prophecy is speaking to man God speaking to man through man So God who knows the hearts and minds of people who knows the needs of people Speaks to people Addresses their needs. It could be in the area of edification. They need to be built up. It could be exhortation They need some encouragement Refreshing or it could be in the area of comfort, you know, they they're going to through stuff they're going through some difficult seasons and They need the comfort and the assurance of God right so Edification exhortation comfort So God who knows their hearts goes who needs knows and needs Doesn't God who knows the needs of people Speaks to man through man that he uses us He speaks to us to our hearts to to share it and then that is also Beneficial to the people. Okay, so you bring an inspired word, okay, then fourth thing with Paul mentions here is also that He says, okay, this is what it is by knowledge or by teaching. Okay, so we know what teaching is teaching is expounding explaining and you know educating People it it takes people from ignorance to elimination right teaching does in doing that teaching also Establishes people in the truth Establishes the here in the truth, you know, this is very important Or one to just not just know the truth and be acquainted with the truth and just forget the truth But you know teaching establishes people there are questions There are reasonings and everything is the questionings are questions are answered there, you know The reasoning and everything that they might have everything is There's an illumination that happens. So therefore There are lessons learned that that establishes people Makes firm their lives their understanding everything in the truth Okay, it makes a person strong It makes a person spiritually strong So you see these various things? Okay, so as a new testament minister who has people I was asking God, okay God you write people upon my hearts, you know, I want to have a Real burden. I don't want to just minister in a very clinical manner Just be done with it and go but I really want to minister minister out of compassion the way you did You have people in your heart you reached out in compassion minister or put people in my heart, right? Putting people in our hearts or could also mean right? Okay, God Which group or where do you want me to minister? the bigger picture of call the bigger picture of Calling and mission and all that even life's calling right? So whom do you want to minister? No, where do you want to take me minister all that so we could pray saying that God, you know, you You speak to me in this manner. You write, you know, you write people upon my heart and You know, like we saw okay, God You minister to people's lives through your spirit because that's where lasting change happens And Sufficiency ability, you know, I'm dependent on you. I'm leaning on you. I'm a minister of the life-giving spirit so we consider all that and We look at different ways that it can be brought now, you know, if it's just revelation It is not we know that it can be a you know, mix of that It can be teaching and it can be a little teaching it can be teaching and it can have You know for the prophetic as an element in it and so on so revelation knowledge prophecy prophecy or prophesying and teaching so these are beneficial for the hero So these could be some age objectives in ministering the word and as New Testament ministers Okay, fine. So let's look at One more. I will just start this and we'll have time to just spend a little bit time on this Okay, so so while we are preparing a message Okay, what are some things to consider? Now while you're preparing a message, you know, sometimes it's like we're just blank. Okay, God You know I've taken this invitation I've accepted this invitation And they've also given me the freedom saying whatever is on your heart you preach God God help me What is it? You know, where do I start? This late is blank right So for us to understand certain things now you won't get into a state of panic. Oh God I need to say something I need to do something what what nothing seems to make sense We don't have to get to that place of panic So we understand a few things. Okay, so so here are some things to look at okay So first thing is that God draws out What we have put in? Okay, God draws out like how we draw water out of a well Like there's something that things that we have put in or God has put in what we have received Like what we have worked on In our own lives what we are walking in in our own lives God draws that out Okay So the responsibility is a really to put in the responsibility to intentionally receive and to walk in the truth What he has put in so that's our responsibility, right? Mark chapter 4 talks about No, I just go back to that again because talks about you know use What measure you use it'll be measured to you So we go to God with a great measure big measure and we say a lot you fill my heart Colossians Again, Colossians chapter 3 talks about the word and how we need to have a rich Deposit of the word Okay, 316 let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another in Psalms and hymns and spiritual songs Singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. Okay Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly efficient fire efficient sorry efficient chapter Yeah, five again verse 18 talks about would be filled with the spirit. So these are all talk about Putting in something a rich deposit of his word being filled with the spirit Militating on the word of God, you know receiving from him Okay, so that's something not necessarily with the intention of wanting to preach a message Okay So that's the thing right some sometimes we just go to God and say God I want to I want to do this, you know, what what is it? Rather than that to consistently a love God to put in a Love God or intentionally pursue God Write your word upon my heart Let there be a sowing of the word in his in our hearts Let there be a infilling of his Holy Spirit And let the word of Christ dwell in us richly so if that is the objective and when that is Thing that we are doing Consistently then God draws out, you know, he draws out and In the book of Isaiah we see that he gives a Word in season to him who is weary Okay, but he awakens my year to here as the learned Right, so which means that even as I as I seek him As I pursue him. He Does something in me. He puts something in me. He causes me to hear Okay, so he draws out what we have put in okay the second thing for us to Also consider is to you know, ministering reama versus ministering the logo. I mean, it's actually logos It says there's a typo there. It should be logos Right, so ministering reama versus ministering logo. So what does that mean? That mean that okay? teaching the principles and the precepts and You know highlighting what the Holy Spirit is Highlighting quickening While we can we can do both like When we were concerned when we were considering, you know, we're going to look at the different types of sermons also, you know, when we looked at the different types of preparation Like or different types of study. We saw that there were certain, you know, especially when it's a book study We're going to be doing a systematic Study, we're not going to pick and choose right We are just right from the start beginning of the chapter till the end of the chapter. It's going to be a systematic study Now that is what would be, you know, ministering the logos where we are doing a study of the entire Of the entire book, but while we are studying the entire book, you know The Holy Spirit would draw would prompt us to emphasize certain truths for that day Right while the highlight is on the focus is on the entire book right but certain passages and certain truths or certain scriptures the Holy Spirit emphasizes and It could be the you know the word for someone there So be sensitive to that be mindful of that Right. So ministering the Rehmer word and ministering the logos both have their place and both have their impact, right and You know the Well the logos with it it results in a person and a believer who's informed, educated, aware of the truth which is important again and Established in the truth and When the when there is a quickening of the word when there's a Rehmer word from the from the logos that is also has its place, you know, how you know efficiency after six talks about that, you know the Sword of the Spirit in spiritual battle the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God and the word used there is Rehmer so When you minister the Rehmer of God now, that's going to be the sword of the Spirit in a believer's hand right and You minister what has been you've ministered probably out of the logos and you ministered What is quickened by God to your heart and you miss and then the Holy Spirit quickens that to their heart and That is the Rehmer sword of the Spirit For them, right? It's a timely word. It's a word used in battle So ministering logos versus ministering the Rehmer depending on the Holy Spirit again Okay, a word in season a quickened word the prophetic word Okay, so we depend on the Holy Spirit. So as we are preparing understanding knowing fully well that you know, these are some ways if God speaks and It could be a word in season for someone It could be a quickened word which is going to be a you know word in battle It'll be a encouraging word or a prophetic word bringing edification exhortation comfort so It comes From our dependence on the Holy Spirit, right? Okay, fourth thing very important study the word right, so We looked at you know when we are going to do a word study or a topical study or you know or an inductive study or a work, you know a book study we are You know, how would you study it? You know, how is it different from just reading because you are going deeper You are considering, you know, some of these words that you may you know, you may just skip over sometimes but you're looking at the meaning of it and the way it is used and And the different, you know the understanding behind it So study the word So that gives us a better understanding of the context That gives us depth in knowledge and understanding and that's something again, you know, if you look at the first point That's something the Holy Spirit will draw out Okay, that's something that we have put in and he's going to draw that out Okay, so So unless we study unless You know, we go beyond the casual reading the word now, how will the Holy Spirit draw that out? Okay, while will there is benefit in casual reading You know, because it is the word it is life-giving and we have the Holy Spirit into any us who inspires us, but We can go beyond that. We can do more Right there when we study intentionally study the word of God and there is much benefit from that as well Personally and for us as ministers, right? So we are looking at okay preparation to minister, right? guidelines to study the word Okay Next one is have a single topic or a single theme while While we are putting together a message, okay, we are talking about the presentation now or putting together Before the presentation, sorry Putting together what God is leading us You know all the thoughts and then and the things that he has already given to us and So we need to have a single topic and a single theme that we are talking about Okay One single direction that we are going in now that topic could have various sub topics, obviously It could have, you know, certain key points that you're going to be addressing But let it be a line to one direction rather than scattered Why why do we say that? because it will it helps in Retaining certain things that we are learning The congregation of the audience is learning and it helps to apply those things. It brings focus right it enables to when you bring focus it's it highlights the importance of it and It helps people to Retain it right as we are as we are learning it aids in learning. It helps to retain it with the intention of Applying the truth. Okay, that's the objective. Okay, if I If I learn something if I receive something It is so that I might apply and walk in it and see the you know the experience the power of it experience the truth of it right, okay, so While it can have many sub topics or key points, you know have it as one direction substantiate Key points with scriptural references. Now. This is again What what is our reference point? You know in in all of our communication of truths What is our reference point in the sense? What are we referring to?
