READ: Proverbs 1:5-7


Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls
Matthew 11:29

Pastors are often the opposite of children. It is a grave mistake because they cannot be taught anything any longer. Many pastors do not bother to listen to preaching messages. Most pastors would never respond to an altar call, no matter how much they needed the prayer. We are so conscious of ourselves and would not like to look foolish before anyone.
Because pastors are so different from children, they are unable to enter various aspects of the Kingdom. Childlikeness is required to enter every other department of the Kingdom of God. You will not enter a higher dimension of preaching or church growth because you refuse to be childlike. A child is ready to learn something new. A child believes that he doesn’t know everything. Children believe almost every fairy tale. But you believe almost nothing.
I have had to be childlike to improve my preaching. I have constantly modified my style and approach to preaching. I realized that my people were more open to stirring, rousing and exciting preaching. I decided to learn how to do that from those who were good at it.
I had to be childlike and open to a completely different kind of ministry. Childlikeness in the ministry will enable you to learn from anyone including people below you and people you don’t respect. You will never look down on another man of God and consider him to be irrelevant. You will know that there is something to learn from everyone.

I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died. And the commandment, which was to bring life, I found to bring death. Romans 7:9–10 In 1942, C S Lewis wrote a brilliant book entitled  The Screwtape Letters . It tells the story of a senior demon teaching a junior demon how to exploit man’s weaknesses and frailties. Along the same lines, I would imagine that Romans 7:9 is probably the most studied and memorized verse in hell. All junior demons would be taught this verse and the lecture would be titled, “How to bring about a revival of sin”! According to Paul, when you introduce the law, there will be a REVIVAL OF SIN! And that’s not all. Apart from reviving sin, the law also kills and brings death! Isn’t it amazing, then, that there are well-meaning ministers who preach strongly on the Ten Commandments, thinking that imposing the law would cause sin to be removed? According to Romans 3:20, “ by the law is the knowledge of sin .” In ot

Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have,   but what I do have I give you: In the name of   Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” Acts 3:6 Join me in reading this wonderful report that Gisele from Texas shared with me that demonstrates how you can take authority over your situation by standing on the Word of God: My husband had surgery for hiatal hernia. It was a simple procedure where a piece of mesh was inserted into the affected area and he was able to return home the same day. However, he became increasingly unwell after he got home. He was feeling very bloated, had a lot of pain, and was running a fever. He was admitted back to the hospital and we spent the next week there. It turned out that a bowel obstruction was causing all his problems. Another surgery was planned. Honestly, we felt very discouraged and defeated at that point. Then, I remembered learning a few weeks earlier from Joseph Prince about how Christians should take charge and command sym
