Preachers and Teachers and Prophets

We need preachers to open up our hearts to the Word of God and make us hungry for more of Him. Jesus did that with his disciples.

We need teachers to open up the Scriptures to us and give us the meaning. Jesus did that with the apostles and disciples walking to Emmaus.

We need prophets to take us into the Word Person that is alive and breathing. Jesus left his Spirit to let His followers be sealed with His presence and to take us there.

Preacher ignites, teacher crafts, prophet dives in.

Preacher exposes, teacher expands, prophet descends.

Preachers bring understanding, teachers bring knowledge, prophets bring wisdom.

Preachers are swift streams, teachers are long rivers, prophets are deep ocean’s currents. Oceans don’t exist without rivers. Rivers don’t flow without streams.

All receive the same rain from heaven.

Which one are you?
