SOME SCRIPTURES ON THE "POWER" OF THE PREACHER
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ:
"And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men,
"Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed,
AND WHEN WE REALIZE THAT THE POWER IS FROM GOD, AND NOT US
"I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door,
for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth;
to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith:
as it is written, The just shall live by faith." - Romans 1:16-18
====================================================
apt to teach, patient, In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves;
if God peradventure will give them repentance
to the acknowledging of the truth;
" - 2 Timothy 24-25
====================================================
even as the Lord gave to every man?
I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth;
but God that giveth the increase." - 1 Corinthians 3:5-7
====================================================
AND GIVE GOD THE GLORY IN OUR PREACHING, WITH THE LITTLE STRENGTH WE HAVE,
WE WILL REJOICE, AS DID THE CHURCH IN PHILADELPHIA (ASIA), TO HEAR:
and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength,
and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name." - Revelation 3:8
