Whenever they teach, they would teach what rescuer had taught them, and they followed Jesus strategy of ministry.They all reflected Jesus Christ in the manner that they do their work. In Apostle Pauls articles, we give birth an apostolic standard teaching, animation by example, and receiving by faith what they hire heard (on the part of the listeners/followers).1.) Teaching. In the Great Commission (Matt.2819-20), teaching is one of the major parts.

When it comes to winning souls for Christ, nothing c an replace the preaching and teaching of the gospel. Modern-day tricks may for a time draw people, exclusively genuine conversion of souls happens only when the gospel is preached/taught.2.) Living up to what you preach. numerous today have been able to master the skills necessary for powerful preaching. They have charismatic and strong pulpit presence. But when it comes to living out in public what they preach, they fall short.

Paul said, The things which you learned. . . and saw in me, these do. . . . It is only when the teachers themselves have learned to live out in the reality of daily behavior their teachings can they be able to tell their audience to act on what they had been taught. 3.)Do what I teach. Conviction is present whe n the preacher knows by experience what he/she is talking about. Paul was able to preach to the Thessalonians powerfully, and they believed and accepted Pauls message as the very words of God because the apostle preached to them in such(prenominal) a powerful way and full of conviction. He lived what he preached therefore, the word of God is effective in them. They followed and obeyed Pauls preaching.
