Factors To Consider When Preaching The Gospel In Public Bus
Preaching the gospel in public bus or among the heathen is not a
carnal outreach but rather a spiritual exercise; God is spirit and
those that labor in his vineyard must be spiritual, sensitive and able
to decipher the spiritual atmospheric condition of the cloud. It
required knowledge and wisdom.
The way you present your sermon will determine how dept the Holy
Ghost will channel it into the heart of your audience. If you present
your sermon in an abusive, hateful and condemning attitude without lowly
heart, lovely tune and meekness of love, honestly your dogmas will lead
into strife and may God helps if you escape unhurt.
HOW TO PREACH PERSONAL IN PUBLIC BUS
As you take your seat inside the public bus, you must focus unto
Heaven and neither be distracted by irritating attitude of the
passengers or driver. If any commotion arises before the commencement of
your sermon, you must quickly make peace and counsel both
parties. Switch off or silent your phone and quickly indulges into
silent prayers.
Taking authority over the whole passengers and charge every foul
spirit of distraction, familiarity, quarreling and fighting and hatred
toward the gospel to be arrested by HOLY GHOST, rebuked, bind and cast
them into the abyss of hell. Release the power of deliverance and
restoration of hope, faith and salvation and cover every soul with the
BLOOD OF JESUS. The next is the echo of "PRAISE THE LORD". This will certainly draw attention; But In most cases only few passenger will respond “HALLELUJAH" while some will hissed, muted, gossips and alight from the vehicle.
Hence, before you commenced ministration in public bus ensure the bus is already on motion. You must be very lowly in heart, friendly and interactive. Although some might not respond to your open declaration of "PRAISE THE LORD" but
that shouldn't amount discouragement. I prefer you utter a good
gesture; and portray reason why they ought to praise the mighty name of
the Lord who giveth them the grace of life. Your admonishing should go
thus….
"…..My dear brothers and sisters i can perceive that many of
you are angry with God. You hate God, felt offended and seriously
fighting him because you thought he has abandoned and doesn't care about
you and your family. Perhaps you hated him because he refuses to answer
your prayers. You are offended because he refused to elevate you from
struggling, poverty and hardship. My beloved brothers and sisters in
this bus, I PLEAD WITH YOU ALL TO FORGIVE GOD AND HEARKEN TO THIS
WONDERFUL GOOD NEWS; I PROMISE YOUR LIFE WOULD NEVER REMAIN THE SAME.
Could you imagine in every hour about 6400 people dies while
more than 150,000 people dies in every 24 hours. Some are rich but at
this moment their money can't save them from cancerous and incurable
diseases. Yet you are in good health with your family. Majority are
dying of hunger and haven't eaten for past 2-3 days while some are
homeless, helpless, frustrated and jobless; yet today we have eaten,
with good home and comfort bed.
Many of us are parent with wonderful children; but when you
visit mother-less homes you will behold thousands of babies weeping and
sorrowfully lamenting "WHO SHALL BE OUR MOTHER? When you visit the hospitals and prison yards you will also behold the reasons why you ought to join me and praise God……"
After this godly references, ensure you utter the word again "PRAISE THE LORD” Definitely the roof of the vehicle will vibrate in thunderous echo of "HALLELUJJJJJAAHH" Yes; you have just rekindle their rotten mindset and also regain more boldness and eschewing every form of shy and fear.
Thereafter, began to degree blessing and breakthrough upon their
lives. Set them lose from every shackle and bondage of the enemy. Sing a
renowned worship song and ask them to forget all their sorrow, pains
and worry and joined in the worship. You must hasten thus procedures because some passenger will soon alight at their designated bus-stop.
HOW TO PRESENT THE GOSPEL TO THE PUBLIC
This is an interesting moment of every preacher; though you might be compounded of "What To Preach, How To Start or How To Present Your Message" My beloved, that is very easy because there are thousands of available topic to built your message. e.g “God
is not dead, Your sorrow is over, The beauty of heaven, There is hope
for you in Christ, What a beautiful day, Jesus has overcome the world,
You must not die in sin, God is in control etc.
- TITLE OF YOUR MESSAGE: The title of your message is vital; that is where the Holy Ghost wills pin-point your heart, built-up and draweth an inspiration.
- THE MESSAGE INTRO: This is summary tense of your message which must build upon hope and serves as a source of encouragement and strengthen to every depressed heart.
- THE BODY SERMON: Your body message should base on hope, encouragement, restoration of dead faith, reason to surrender to Christ, the cunning attitude of devil, ways of escaping devilish trap or temptation, counseling and power of God's grace. Please don't commenced the body of your message with condemnation of sins or preaching about Hell Fire or Death, don’t condemned any religious dogmas or churches because the gospel of Christ is good news.
- SALVATION SERMON: After restoring their frustrated, liquidated, hopeless and unbelief rotten mindset; and reviving it with faith and hope in Christ, thereafter comes the terms and condition attached before such blessing, hope and faith can be perfected by God because he hates sin but love sinners.
This is mode of sober reflection where you ought to lay emphasis
about consequence of sin, second coming of Jesus, his abiding grace and
salvation, The eternal torment of Hell fire for sinner who indulges
into sinful act. You should commence your salvation message by reciting “…..If you fall into following categories of sins you must repent and accept Jesus Christ.....” Afterward,
begin to enlist names of numerous kinds of sin you could recall with
scriptures. Nevertheless, some might detest the godly preaching against outward impurity or immodesty.
In term of biblical reference against women trouser and
makes-up, alcoholic, smoking, polygamous marriage, jewelries and hair
attachment; don't linger on this subject because they might not
comprehend the divine interpretation of the scripture. However, there is
need for logical expression against;
i. WOMEN TROUSER: Simply ask reason them the
reason, “why can't we present trouser as a gift to our grandmothers in
the village. Why did our grandmothers abhor women trouser and hated
young women that wore it? Where did women trouser originated? Why do men
always lust after women in trousers?
ii. MAKES-UP: Simply inquired from them;
“If your dark complexion daughter in nature gain admission to study in
the university; after few years she returns as a white lady in light
complexion. How would you feels as a mother? Likewise also, why can’t we
reference this ungodly act unto God after death? He created you in
beauty and adored you will wonderfully in his image and likeness.
But right now you thought you are ugly and can't survive without
makes-up---My dear No!. You are precious than Gold and diamond only if
you would amend your ways today and stop making use of makes-ups, extra
nail fixing and painting. Though you might seem confused because the
Holy Ghost is using that woman [Your Pastor Wife] that portray herself
in makes-up and bleaching to preach and conduct deliverance. My dear,
don’t you know the Holy Ghost is on course and can possess even a
prostitute to wrought great healing and miracle?
iii. ALCOHOLIC & SMOKING: Simply
inquired from them; How many Bible have you ever behold in bar or beer
parlor? How many people have you behold smoking in streets with Bible on
their hands? The spirit of God that dwells in us will never permit them
to exhibit such ungodliness without fear of God because they knew it is
sinful to miss alcohol with the Holy Bible.
iv. POLYGAMOUS MARRIAGE: Simply inquired
from them; How many people did God creates in the beginning? Perhaps
God created Adam and consequently formed 4 wives from his ribs.
Therefore, if not so, what are you doing with those 2-4 wives? Please
marriage is between a man and a woman and in marriage there is not
divorcement because marriage is honorable before God. If you have
divorced the first man/woman in your life; please return back to him/her
before it becomes too late to re-amends.
Likewise also if you are the 2-4 wife of that man you are
sleeping with, please pack all your load and luggage and leave that man
today. Moreover, if you are into boy/girls relationship, you ought to
break off from such immoral relationship and seek for God mercy. Ask him
to bless you with your own spouse because every boy/girls relationship
always leads to sexual immoralities.
v. JEWELRIES: Simply inquired from them; when you were born God graciously pierced two holes in your eyes for sight and nose for smell; did he pierce any hole in your ear for earrings? Please cast off those earrings, wedding rings and jewelries and be natural the way God has formed you.
Don’t you know that putting on those jewelries on your body
signifies idolatry because you cherished it so much as your gods? At
this moment, you just can’t do without it and it has systematically
becomes your gods. Don’t forget that the Almighty God is a jealousy God
and can’t permit you to enter into his heavenly kingdom with a strange
gods on your body.
vi. HAIR ATTACHMENT: Simply inquired
from them, When you were born God miraculously cover your head with
natural sparkling hair. Attachment or other forms of artificial hairs
was never found on you but right now you have deliberately decide to
lure into them. Moreover, that is reason why you always have sex in
dream, ate in dream, swimming and giving birth in dream and also
afflicted with moving object in your body, marital failure, stagnancy
and barrenness.
This ugly artificial hairs and attachment has hindered your marital breakthrough and conception in your marriage. Do you know the mystery and marine covenant behind hair attachment? However, am not saying all this to condemn you but rather to bring to your awareness of the true word of God.
5. CALL FOR REPENTANCE AND PRAYER: After
enlistment of various iniquities in lovely tune and meekness of heart,
the next is altar call for repentance of sins and acceptance of Christ.
Thereafter kindly pray and encourage them to be prayerful, join a
genuine bible believing church and always attend church weekly
activities for more spiritual growth.
Finally, you might identify yourself to them by by professing
THE NAME OF YOUR CHURCH and her weekly activities. Kindly encourage
whosoever that love and wish to hear more of same messages to create
time and visit any of your church fellowship center and their life shall
never remain same. May God bless you all………I pray heaven at last unto
you all in Jesus name—amen.
