Preach the word and Hear the word https://www.facebook.com/sing.f.lau/posts/10215110367128043 2 Timothy 4:2 KJV — Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. A command to an under-shepherd of Christ has direct and necessary implications upon those who own Christ, the Chief Shepherd, as their Lord and Saviour. These solemn words addressed to Pastor Timothy is an excellent example; they have necessary implications upon the flock he has been entrusted to shepherd. The
corollary: Some act as though Timothy was commanded to preach to the pulpit, chairs, walls, and ceilings. There are fools among God's children. Hebrews 6:9 KJV — But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak. Timothy has no option but to preach the word; even so, his flock has no option but to attend to the preaching of the word.

"Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord. Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old." Matthew 13:51-52.
