Illustration: I was doing the ministry where I could not communicate directly to the he people because of the language, all of the sudden my Translater stoped , I was forced into the situation, that if I have to continue the ministry, I should learn the language and do ministry, I started leaning the netive language.
While I was speaking in their language, I was very particular about my language, my presentation I was very careful about my points , illustration, application.

Application. Immideatly I called one of my friends , and explained everything to him, he said , speak plainly .
2. Focus on your audience
Illust- continue :- next week onwards I was very care full to speak plain language so that every one can understand , again after 3 weeks I asked our church believer about the message, he said pastor “ message was excellent easy to understand but I couldn’t not digest the message “.
I said : smells good, tastes good but can not digest ?
This time hole night I could not sleep, I was laying on the bed but could not sleep, “one thing trigged my mind , “ that is I am laying on the bed to sleep but not sleeping.
Doing right thing but in wrong situations. I sand before the congregation to preach to them , but my full attention, concentration and focuse was on my message .
Doing wrong thing in a right situation. I was not focusing on audience rather I was conserntrating on my message .
Application :
Conclusion :
Enjoy your message , focus on your audiaiance .
Colossians 3:23 says whatever you do, do it heartily as to the lord and not to men.
