Scripture
Nehemiah 8:8 “They read from the Book of the Law of God and clearly explained the meaning of what was being read, helping the people understand each passage.”
Observation
My responsibility as a preacher/teacher is to:
1) Read the word. My Bible is the source of my teaching.
2) Clearly explain the meaning of it.
3) Help all the people to understand what it means and how they can live it out.
I am to make the Bible simple so that everyone who is present can understand it. I am not to worry about being eloquent or entertaining. I am to read, explain, and apply the Bible.
Application
I desire to motivate everyone to read their Bible’s on a consistent basis. I want to help them understand what the Bible is saying and then motivate and encourage them to live it our in their everyday life.
Prayer
Father, make me a better preacher/teacher. Give me a fresh anointing of your spirit. I cannot do this on my own. I need to be filled with your spirit.
