Kwaima ni 17, hofemizu kwaima ni naturi The charge to preach, the charge to preach. Before we get to the guiding texts of kwa u, the book of Second Team of Them, Let's say a prayer. Our gracious father in heaven thank you for the privilege of this ministry, we thank you for how you are reaching out to many people. Thank you for your many interventions in our life, Lord, at this moment I pray that as I speak, may I not speak, may you speak through me, to your people, We shall hear you, see you, know you, and surrender to you. It's in Jesus' name we pray. Amen. 40 days of prayer, day 17, the charge to preach the word text is 2 Timothy chapter 4, verse number 1, down to verse number 4. I read quickly, I charge fee, therefore this is Paul and Timothy. Paul is talking to Timothy, young preacher, as he is being inaugurated into the ministry. And the charge is him. So verse number 1, I charge fee, therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom. Preach the word, be instant in season, out of season. Reprove, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and doctrine. Verse number 3, for the time will come when they will not enjoy some doctrine, but after their own last shall they hip to themselves, teachers having each year's verse number 4, and they shall turn away the years from the truth and shall be turned unto fables. Now Paul, an old minister, straining young minister, Timothy. It comes to a time when he is now ordaining him, inaugurating him for the ministry. And he charges him to go out in the power of the spirit, to preach and he says preach in season and out of season. It tells him be instant, be ready, be quick, be available at all times in season and out of season. Remember, we began the word service where we been looking at various aspects of the word. Yesterday we were looking at the word as the light. Use the text of Psalms 119 and we are glad that today we are talking about the ministry of the word through the servants of God and Paul is charging Timothy to preach in season and out of season. And you see this particular text here is very critical for one or two reasons. Number one, you see he says reprove, rebuke and exhort with the want of God. That the want of God, the preach to message, the preach gospel, the spoken word of God. What I'm doing here has power, has ability to reprove somebody. You know, the want of God anytime it comes to our lives, it ministers to us in our own situations. So for some it will be a reprove. For some it will be a rebuke. For some it will be an encouragement. For some it will be a warning. For some it will be a blessing. For some it will be a thanksgiving and praising to the Lord for that particular message. For some it will be exhorting. You see, whatever it is, whenever the want of God comes out of the mouth of the preacher, it lands in the hearts of people differently accomplishing divine purposes. Is it not God who said, His word will never come out of his mouth or the mouth of his servant go out and come back in vain? True. And so the power, the want of God is something that we have to acknowledge that many people are in church because this word reached out to them through a man or a woman. You know, those of us who preach the gospel, it doesn't mean that we are perfect. It doesn't mean that we are better than other people. But one thing I know God has accepted us is to be instrument in His hearts. Instrument, we don't have to be perfect. But if the owner is using them, it's okay for him. And we can see even in the scriptures various men and women who are very weak by human standards. Yet God calls them His servants. He calls them like David, man after God's own heart. But when you look deep into the hearts and into the life of David, you see many challenges, many doubting aspects of his life. But God says, this is my man, I'm using him. Now God is able to use anyone, anything to accomplish His purpose. And I want to encourage you, my dear viewer, wherever you are in a Christian life, whenever you hear the word of God spoken, it may not be spoken by the person you're expecting. It may not be spoken by the person you think is the right one to speak about it. But the word of God, it doesn't matter from whose mouth it comes from, this word has a way of getting into your heart and transforming you. I'm not saying let's preach as the callus, let's preach as live in how anyway, because they're preaching the one has power to influence people. No, because the container of the message is as important as the content. But I'm saying this, that there is power in the word of God and it doesn't matter who speaks that word of God. If you have a receptive heart, that word of God will come into your life, it's going to transform you, it is going to revive you, it is going to strengthen you, it is going to renew you, it is going to equip you, it is going to pay you for eternity. So when it comes to your life, it may come with rebukes, I remember there's a time I preached somewhere, Ratsha desu reyos were and one man said that in church, one of the actually leaders of the church, I stood and said, Pastor, how can you come here to preach me? You just came here and someone just told you about me and you're just preaching me from the pulpit and it was so mad with me, I mean you were stopping you from preaching and honestly I had didn't know anything, I was just preaching, but you see this particular message was addressing a situation in a way he thought that somebody had told me about his life. At times you can find yourself in that situation but you don't have to stone the messenger, you need to receive the message and allow the message to transform you because that is how God intended to reach out to you. Now as we pray today, of course we are just here to pray, but how he is the one of God working in your life. Are there moments that you feel the one of God is preaching you? Are there times you feel uncomfortable listening to a particular message? It has gone for the message to make you uncomfortable. It has gone for the message to make you uncomfortable because it is by so doing you become comfortable with the Lord. You know the fact that the message is making you feel uncomfortable, it means you are not comfortable with God's will. And so it is bringing you and aligning you to the will of God. So allow it to do its work. You see, when you visit a surgeon, when you visit a physician, when you are sick and the doctor would have to do its work and at times getting into where the problem is comes with some pain, comes with some discomfort but it is a good process for your healing, for your restoration. And so let's allow the will of God whether it is rebuking or whether it is provoking or whatever it is doing in our lives. Let's allow it to do its different purposes that we may be transformed, we may be equipped and we may have no reason to be ashamed. You see, put your steam on the preach the word, be instant in season out of season, provoke, rebuk, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. So my dear viewer, I pray that this moment, this morning or this afternoon, this evening, wherever you are, you may allow the will of God to work its purposes in your life, to prepare against your weaknesses and to bring out the washing or way of seeing and tendencies that so easily ensnare you into the world that you can be prepared to be a man or a woman without a spot or rink or being presented before the Lord through the ministry of the world. As we pray today, are there certain ways in your life you feel you need to surrender? Are there certain ways in your life you have felt the will of God is addressing but you have been dismissing it? I want to pray this morning, this afternoon, this evening, wherever you are, you may commit such points in your life to the Lord even now that the will of God may minister to you for the purposes of attaining salvation. There are many other prerequisites that you can pray for or we have to pray for today. Remember you have the seven member list but allow me just to read one or two here that we may join together with the world church was that we are praying that we are being asked to pray for boldness, to preach the word. Imagine that. You know some preachers are not bold, they fear. And I have seen at times they preach and people wonder and at times I prepare to preach I am asking myself what would people say about this message but there are times that we have to speak the truth as it is. There are times we have to come boldly and preach the truth so we are praying for boldness to preach the word in words and actions today pray for more young people to be called to preach the world It began with the young people and it's the young people to finish the work of God. Even when you go through the Bible you see young, dynamic men who did a lot of things for the Lord. All these people who read in the Bible they all became who they are when they were young. Jamal a young preacher. Paul also was young when he got to ministry. Many people were young and we are praying for young people out here to come out and preach the gospel because we have the strength and the commitment to do that. Pray about any questions you have in the Bible as going to help you find answers any clarity regarding those questions so pray for your local pastors so wherever you are if you are getting them pray for me pastor Peter Nyaga pray for me I need your prayer pray for pastor Organa pray for pastor Titirop pray for pastors around you pray for ministers men and women of God who are laboring day and end let me tell you you have no idea what we go through as pastors at times you see us on pulpit we are putting a bald face but we bring through a lot right from our homes from our workplaces a lot of things happening to us pray for us that despite all that is coming into a way we may remain focused pray for your local pastors pray that God would sustain them protect them and most importantly feel them with an even more abundant outpouring of the Holy Spirit pray for protection of our young people from the ever increasing addictions to technology and screen time pray of course for the 7 member list that you already have and if you are joining for the first time 7 people that will be praying for through the 40 days of prayer so these and those that you have there and many God shall continue prompting you to pray for this the reason we are here let's pray together thank you for this precious moment of prayer in this season of 40 days of prayer thank you today for the challenge that Paul gives Timothy as a young preacher and charges him preach in season and out of season and to provoke to rebuke and even to exhort in righteousness using doctrine and using the one of God and humility in the spirit of God that people may be prepared because we are living in the very last days and we have no time to waste we have no time to waste here on earth but to do exactly what the times demands very strict truth that may be cutting and make people uncomfortable Lord we are praying that we may give us boldness to speak even so because we know we are living at the last day and we know that it's not even popular to stand for the truth at a time when almost every landmark of righteousness being broken right left center it takes boldness of ministers today to come out and speak as it is in the scripture Lord we are praying for special touch of the Holy Spirit upon all ministers Lord we shall use us in this age to accomplish the purpose so intended for the church We want to thank you Lord and pray for young people out here in the world that they can come out and denfer the gospel become preachers as young as they are You need us Lord and I pray that you will speak and move young people even in this message there is a young person listening to this message Lord I pray for them that you may move them touch them and let them know you are waiting for them to come to join us that we may be a big team that is printing the hope of the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ We continue praying Lord even for the seven member that we put up in our list to pray for Lord may you intervene in the situations of their life and if there is anyone struggling Lord may you pray through the ministry of the world may you revive them may you give them victories may you give them hope may you give them new energies may you renew their thoughts and their minds but above all Lord I pray that you may change their hearts you may creating them new hearts that they will be receptive of your world and they can be transformed Thank you Lord for the many miracles of performing people who are watching this program and I pray the Lord as we gender through the 40 days indeed we will have testimonies to give bless us with your presence continually we pray in Jesus name God bless you dear viewer thank you really for staying tuned meeting upon this program and I am seeing many of you God bless you if you are joining for the first time subscribe to our channel I am just requesting you once again click that red button there click subscribe it's free no charges the advantage is whenever we have such programs you'll be getting notified without your notice so just subscribe but I also want to request you to share with as many people many friends if you know contact as you can that this message will reach out to many till tomorrow God bless you
