New Breed: A New Generation of Preachers

There is a constant sound from heaven in these last days for men and women of God that will rightly represent God in expounding, proclaiming, and living the Word of God.

We have seen the downfall of many men and women of God due to the lure of the enemy and the careless trust in ones own ability to live for God. I believe in the midst of an ecclesiastical crisis, God is shaping the hearts and minds of a New Breed of young preachers that are willing to totally commit their lives to the Lord. What does this mean for the Body of Christ and Christian Leaders? It is a Prophetic Mandate from God to deliberately and intentionally invest in the development of the next generation of preachers.

This mandate does not invite the man inspired doctrines of ministry and clergy responsibilities. This mandate from God demands a return back to the Bible as the only reliable source capable of instructioning men and women of God for the work of the ministry. 2 Timothy 3:16 declares, “ All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that everyone who belongs to God may be proficient, equipped for every good work.”

The missing element in most seminarian instruction, scholarly books, and today’s modern Christian writer is righteousness. Methods, growth strategies, impressive biblical terminology all are good, but it is useless if the man or woman receiving that instruction does not possess true righteousness.

It is now time for this New Breed of Preachers to begin to accept the calling upon your lives and represent the Kingdom of God with Integrity and Character.
