Have you examined yourself lately, to discover or rediscover the fact that each of us is a minister even though each of us may not be considered to be an ORDAINED CLERGYMAN? The pew can’t feed the hungry, but you can. God’s sweet words from Your mouth can help heal the broken hearted. Neither the microphone stand, the “mike”, nor the amplifier has words of their own. Your intercessory prayers can help to deliver the captives. Your living testimony coupled with your verbal testimony may very well open the spiritually blinded eyes of an onlooker that is questioning the validity of God’s existence and his intervention into mankind’s personal affairs.
We say and sing “we are not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” The true test involves whether we are boldly and joyously acting out our beliefs in our daily practical environs, away from the church house and away from worship service settings. Jesus’ crucifixion was not done in seclusion but openly and publicly. If the world is going to see Christ Jesus in us and they are not frequenting our church services; they must experience Christ Jesus in our interactions with them in their daily settings. Can the world see a clear picture (true enactments of the teachings of Holy Bible, as well as hear scriptural conversations) of Jesus and HIS CHURCH through your life? Now, don’t start talking about I’m putting too much pressure on you! Take a moment and think about how many ways we’re just like our parents and how many things we do just like our parents taught us, directly or indirectly. As it is in our natural resemblances of our parents physically and in the ways we conduct our every day settings, we should bear startling spiritual similarities to Jesus, our BIG BROTHER \ Kinsman-Redeemer in our Christian walk. Meditate on what Jesus said in John 14:10. “Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.” Now, think about the title of this chapter again. Can the Father, Son, the Holy Ghost likewise prompt our actions, our inactions, and our speech in a manner that captivates the Heart of onlookers and listening bystanders?

About the Book
A multipurpose book written with several motives and purposes:
I. to serve as an inspirational and provocative scriptural study guide and a prayer prompter,
II. to inspire beginning preachers to scripturally examine and research the authority and dominion they’ve been given to exercise in their daily environs,
III. to encourage unchurched \ unsaved readers to invite Jesus into their lives as their personal Savior and daily companion.
IV. to prompt young people NOT to judge the validity of salvation on the basis of prevailing negative attitudes about church, but encouraged to personally examine and evaluate worldly daily offerings to determine their positive and rewarding eternal benefits.
V. to convince Christians that they have the potential to change the atmosphere wherever they are and to demonstrate attributes of godliness and exude HIS presence with whomever they interact.
About the Author
Elder Andrew H. Montgomery, Sr. or “Rev” as he is affectionately referred to by his students, is very passionate about urging individual believers to not settle on being just another non-chalant churchgoer. He has devoted much of his life’s ministry into preaching and teaching about the valuable role of the individual believer in the schema of the local church, the district, the conference, and the universal church of the Living God. He has sought to raise the conscience level of believers about their verbal and literal portrayals of the
In a world that seeks to relegate the living breathing vibrancy of the word of God and instances of miracles, signs and wonders to the first century church, this author seeks to encourage all believers to seek God’s counsel and direction as to how HIS WORD and HIS miraculous power can be channeled into ministries that address problems of our daily environs. Rather, he emphasizes that individuals pursue their own personal relationship with God to unleash the full potential of life altering talents and abilities that God has placed within them. As they discover the gifting(s), the talents, and the abilities, they are to serve as obedient and cooperative members working under the tutelage of their pastor and the mentorship of the Holy Ghost. Tantamount to the severity of today’s myriad of evils and problems is the love, the joy, the hope, the peace, and the answers that must be modeled, that must be exemplified, that must be witnessed, and that must be taught as individual Christians co-mingle with mankind in their daily environs. His book, WALKING AMONG MEN, seeks to teach such principles.
