A Real Preacher preaches

The Word

God tells him

Jonah 3:1: And the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the second time, saying,

2 Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee.



Arise (defined):

• get up
  
• move-go into action
  
• arouse self
  

Dimensions of Nineveh, that great city: 54 miles in diameter, 18 miles
in length, and 14 miles in width.



Bid (defined):

1. that I command thee
   
2. that I declare
   
3. that I give
   
4. that I say
   
5. that I pronounce
   

3 So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the Lord. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days' journey.



4 And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.



5 So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.



And...



And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.












Moses



Exodus 4:10: And Moses said unto the Lord, O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.



11 And the Lord said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the Lord?



12 Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say.



13 And he said, O my Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send.



14 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he cometh forth to meet thee: and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart.



15 And thou shalt speak unto him, and put words in his mouth: and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do.















John The Baptist



Matt. 3:1: In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,



2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.



3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.



4 And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.



5 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan,



6 And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.









Jesus



Luke 4:16: And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.



17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,



18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,






anointed (defined):

• consecrated
  
• set apart
  

19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.



Paul's Call



Rom. 10:13:  For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.



14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?



15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
