In true ministry, there is both the Word of
God and the Spirit of God. God’s Word is spoken to us in the power of
the Spirit, so that we might speak His Word in the power of the Spirit
(Ezekiel 2:1-4). Ezekiel is described as “a watchman over the people of
Israel.” He was to speak the word of warning (Ezekiel 3:17). This is the
kind of preaching which calls its hearers back from the wages of sin -
death. The hearers are called to “change their wicked ways in order to
save their lives” (Ezekiel 3:18).
"Be careful! Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees!" (Matthew 17:6),. even after there us divine revelation (Matthew 16:17), the influence of evil can be felt (Matthew 16:23), The warning - "Be careful! Watch out ... !" must never be forgotten. Satan is looking for an opportunity to leads us away from the Lord. We must hear what Jesus is saying to us about discipleship (Matthew 16:24), and we must commit ourselves to Him (Matthew 16:25). There is nothing more important than this (Matthew 16:26). If we are to be true followers of Jesus, we must learn to live our lives in the light of eternity (Matthew 16:27). We are to seek revelations of God's eternal Kingdom, revelations which will send us back, from the mountain-top, to live each day for Jesus.
