READ: Psalm 119:1-18
But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil. :- Hebrews 5:14 (ESV)
How can I constantly prepare to preach and teach? By constantly meditating, thinking and brooding on the Word of God day and night! You must meditate on the Word of God all the time because that is what will be coming out of your mouth very soon.
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
Joshua 1:8
Joshua was the new leader of God’s people. He was admonished to keep the Word in his heart day and night in order to have good success as a leader.
Good success will come by God’s way. God’s way to good success is to study the Bible daily and nightly and to meditate on it all the time so that you start obeying fully. The quiet time of Bible reading and prayer every single day no matter what is happening is a great secret to success.
For you to constantly prepare to preach and teach you would need some amazing strategies. It is not natural to meditate on the Word of God all the time. Decide to go through a particular book of the Bible every day. Read a few verses of a chapter and stop at exactly where the Holy Spirit seems to be speaking. Stop at every word or sentence or phrase that strikes you. Then stay there and meditate. Think about it and turn it over in your mind till the full revelation comes to you.
Through the Holy Spirit, many verses of the Bible will become revelations, counsel and supernatural guidance to you every day.
