Preaching - A CALLING not an occupation

Many people say they cannot testify, they cannot preach. To preach is not an occupation, it is a calling. Jesus calls you to testify, to preach the good news and He gives you the words to preach and those words are the seed that you sow and He makes it grow. It is His words, not your own.
Paid preachers, that is an occupation, that is not of God. They work for the person that has employed them and they speak the words of that organization, they progress that organization, very often it is their own organization because they do it for their own gain. Jesus has called you, to be a witness of Jesus Christ. He will give you the words. He will equip you. You just need to pray and you need to be on your knees all the time. He will give you the Holy Spirit, He will give you the words to speak and those words will bear fruit because the words that go out from the mouth of God will not return empty.
Obey your calling, get your eyes on Jesus, listen and He will give you the words to speak. If He has called you then He will equip you. Just make yourself available, listen and obey and be used by the Holy Spirit of God.
Every branch that does not bear fruit will be cut off. Don't be cut off, be used by the Holy Spirit. Stay in Christ, stay with Jesus and He will use you for His Kingdom. It is a calling not an occupation.
May Jesus bless you.
