TWELVE WAYS A GUEST SPEAKER CAN MANIFEST PRIDE AGAINST THE HOST WITHOUT KNOWING:
As a guest speaker, never do the following. It is a display of pride against your host.
1. Rejecting the Economy ticket that was given to you, insisting it must be business class. If that is their level, you can upgrade it yourself.
2. Rejecting the car, they came to pick you up with from the airport. You came to help the work, not to destroy the work.
3. Rejecting the best hotel they have in the town, insisting you must go to the nearest city to look for a better hotel. Are you not a mountain visiting pastor? See it, as you going to pray in the mountain. You know what you have in your mind when rejecting the hotel provided for you.
4. Refusing to stand when everyone is standing to receive the set man of the house to the altar. If the congregation is standing for their pastor, you should also stand. It helps the house to also accept you.
5. Disregarding the focus of the meeting. Hearing God asking you to change the focus. It is unethical to do that.
6. Walking away from the church, when you feel the set man has taken too much time on the altar. He is in charge, he should be allowed to present you to the people in whatever a way, he feels is okay. He decides to kill the meeting, don't help him to bury it. Find a way to manage it.
7. Preaching without recognizing the set man and his wife. It is not your style. But you must do it. It is the approach of all guest speakers that are well trained.
8. Using the set man to do illustrations that appear degrading. Like asking him to lift up his hands for illustration. Any other man in church can be used for that.
9. Using the church of your host to compare the one you pastor, in the area you are doing better. There is no need for that.
10. Referring to your host without his official titles. You know he is an Apostle by Ordination, you went and called him Pastor. And you kept calling him a Pastor.
11. Seating on the official chair of your host, against the seating arrangement they gave to you.
12. Refusing the honorarium they gave you, insisting that you are bigger than that money.
All of the above are elements of pride and arrogance.
If you are given to any of them repent.
Let's discuss.
Be blessed
