THE PREACHER WITH THE WATERPOT.

John 4:28 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men, 29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ

The command to preach the gospel is an express and direct command from our Lord Jesus Christ himself. It is the duty and responsibility of every believer to obey this command. The consequence of not obeying is so dreadful.
Nothwithstanding, certain conditions have to be met to be qualified to carry out this assignment. The Samaritan woman left her waterpot with Jesus and went to tell others about the gospel. Unfortunately today, we say preachers still carrying their waterpot. They believe the important thing is to spread the gospel not matter how you do it. The scripture told us that many will claim they have done wonderful works for the Lord but they will be disappointed on that very day. They will be rejected together with their work. They failed to leave their waterpot of sin. Their believe is that God is very merciful and understands that man will always sin and hence will always have mercy. Yes God is merciful that was why he sent His only begotten son Jesus Christ to die for us on the cross of Calvary. But the question is, "shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? God forbid". Don't you know that he that is dead is freed from sin. Whosever commits sin is of the devil. Whosoever is born of God does not commit sin, he CANNOT sin because the seed of God remains in him.
Please take a break, check your life, are you still carrying your waterpot? Are u still involved in the habits and behaviours you were into before Christ met you? No matter the activities you may think you are involved in for the Lord, it won't count unless your name is in and remained in the book of life till the very end of your life. Think about this. Are you a preacher with the waterpot still?
