Preaching Christ: The Evangelistic Fire of Dag Heward-Mills
At the core of every true evangelist is a message—not a motivational speech, not a self-help lesson, but the unchanging message of Christ crucified, risen, and returning. For Bishop Dag Heward-Mills, this message is not just part of his ministry—it is the very fire that fuels it. In every crusade, every sermon, and every opportunity, he preaches Christ with unwavering boldness and clarity.
The world is full of noise—political debates, cultural trends, and self-centered preaching. But in the midst of it all, Bishop Dag’s voice stands out because it carries something different. It carries the Gospel. He does not preach opinion or personal ideas. He preaches the cross. The blood. Repentance. Salvation. Christ.
This is the message that changes lives. This is the message that breaks chains. And this is the message that he has been preaching faithfully for decades.
The Simplicity and Power of the Gospel
One of the most remarkable aspects of Bishop Dag’s ministry is how simply he presents the Gospel. He does not complicate it with theological jargon. He preaches to the poor, the uneducated, the sick, and the desperate—and they understand. The message is simple: Jesus loves you. Jesus died for you. Jesus will save you.
And yet, in that simplicity is a deep, undeniable power. Demons are cast out. Sinners repent. Entire towns are transformed. This is what happens when Christ is lifted up. As Jesus said in John 12:32, “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.” Bishop Dag lives by that scripture. He lifts up Christ, and Christ draws the people.
The Evangelist’s Fire
There is a fire that burns in the soul of every true evangelist. It is not the fire of fame or ambition—it is the fire of urgency. The fire of compassion. The fire of eternity. Bishop Dag carries that fire. It can be felt when he preaches, when he prays, and when he weeps over the souls of men.
He often speaks of hell—not as a scare tactic, but as a real, eternal place that people must be saved from. He preaches heaven—not just as a destination, but as a promise for those who put their trust in Christ. His words carry weight because they come from a man who is not performing, but pleading.
This evangelistic fire cannot be manufactured. It comes from the Holy Spirit. It comes from time spent in prayer and brokenness before God. It is the kind of fire that changes cities and births revival. And through Bishop Dag’s ministry, that fire continues to spread.
A Call to Preach Christ
Preaching Christ is not outdated. It is not old-fashioned. It is eternal. Bishop Dag Heward-Mills reminds the Church that we do not need to invent new messages—we need to return to the old, true Gospel. The message of the cross is still enough. It is still relevant. It is still powerful.
In a generation searching for relevance, we must rediscover the power of preaching Christ. And through Bishop Dag’s life and ministry, we are reminded that the Gospel is still the hope of the world.
