Pulpits cannot be weak and give in to the world. Jesus came to stir up things and shake up His people, the elect.

God is omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient. He is all powerful, always present, and all knowing. God who knows all things certainly knows the future. Being omniscient He sees all and knows all. He has foreknowledge and has foreordained certain things. God knows our beginnings and our endings and everything in between. He knows what He has in mind for each of us. He has a vision and a view of the finished product of what He wants us to be. The goal of God is to conform us into the image of Himself, His son Jesus. Furthermore, Jesus died for the sins of the whole world. Whoever calls on His name and believes He is the only God will be saved.

Therefore, the elect is the ones who have accepted that God is all that He says He is. God has chosen that all should know Him and be made righteous through the death of Jesus. We can embrace the idea that we are the elect and children of the most high God.

I Peter 1:2
Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.

The elect ones, the chosen ones are called to be separate and stand out from the things of the world. The preaching of the generations must be bold and unchanging and will convict and offend if preached as it is written. A preacher and prophet stands in the door between heaven’s gates and the world. They preach the Word as it is. Pulpits cannot be weak and give in to the world. Jesus came to stir up things and shake up His people.

We have become weak where we need to be strong. God’s chosen should find themselves thrilled every minute that they serve and share God with others. We have a promise to never fall if we act and talk and walk like we are His elect.

2 Peter 1:4-10
⁴ by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. ⁵ But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, ⁶ to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, ⁷ to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. ⁸ For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins. ¹⁰ Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble;
