People who don’t know God call blessings luck.

People who don’t walk with Him think delay is punishment.

But if you’ve walked with Him long enough, you'll know that:

His timing heals.
His silence speaks.
And His yes is always right on time.

...OF CELEBRITIES, PEACOCKS & PREACHERS

In the name of Christ, "Celebrity Preacher" is a misnomer. A preacher of the gospel is not a 'celebrity', and a 'celebrity' is not a Preacher.

Almost by default, the world hates the preacher. This is not because the preacher tries to infuriate this godless world, but because, if he is true, the world will be mad at him – so much as to wish his non-existence. Why? Well, because being true means he contradicts and indicts the world at every turn (and, the world loathes being indicted). A true Preacher, then, will not be celebritized by the world.

On the other hand,
The church that Jesus died for is not part of the celebrity cult(ure).

Here, then, are the double reasons why there is no context for the genuine Preacher to actualize a 'celebrity' status. One, the world hates him, and two, the church, the church who loves him, has no latitude for 'celebrities'. She is bold, honouring, holy, meek. Yes, the church, being faithful to Jesus, respects Preachers, but because she also abhors ostentation, she will not 'celebritize' her God-given, heaven-ordained leaders whom she honours.

A Preacher who curates and parades his advantages – a Preacher who projects and maintains a glamorous public outlook is an unfortunate, accidental, misleading model of a Minister. The Lord did not make him so. Even if he was called by God, he has now conformed to the world. Surely, the world that crucified the Lord will not coronate His faithful Messenger.

In the name of Christ, showing-off is peacocky and has no place in ministry.

Worth repeating:
A preacher is not a 'celebrity', and a 'celebrity' is not a Preacher.

Prayer:
Jesus, keep me near the cross!
Amen!
