Bishop Dag Heward-Mills has never treated the Word of God casually. He approaches the Scriptures with awe, diligence, and deep hunger, because he understands what many have forgotten—that the sheep live by the Word. He teaches that the number one duty of a pastor is to feed the flock. Not with personal opinions or motivational speeches, but with the living bread of God’s Word.
He spends hours preparing sermons, not just to preach well, but to feed well. His teaching ministry is not designed for applause—it is crafted to nourish. Whether he is preaching to ten people or ten thousand, the goal is the same: that the people will grow. That they will be established in truth. That they will become mature believers who can stand in the day of testing.
Feeding the flock is not something he delegates. It is something he treasures. Because he knows that the strength of the sheep depends on the quality of the food.
Teaching That Builds People, Not Just Churches
Bishop Dag’s sermons are full of life, wisdom, and revelation, but more than that, they are practical. He doesn’t just preach theology—he teaches people how to walk with God, how to serve in the house of God, how to overcome sin, and how to build strong Christian lives. His teachings address both the spirit and the daily struggles of the believer.
He believes that strong churches are built by strong Christians. And strong Christians are fed, not entertained. That’s why his teachings are structured, deep, and rich in Scripture. He teaches line upon line, precept upon precept, so that the people can truly understand, retain, and apply the Word.
His books, too, have become a vital part of how he feeds the flock. Through them, he continues to teach long after the sermon is over. Every page is another meal prepared with care.
A Steady Diet That Produces Growth
Bishop Dag doesn’t feed his people randomly—he feeds them consistently. He believes in a steady, balanced diet of teaching. His series are carefully planned. His messages build upon each other. He doesn’t jump from topic to topic for excitement. He lays foundations. He builds strong towers of truth in the hearts of his listeners.
This kind of feeding creates stability. It guards the church against false doctrine, shallow faith, and emotional instability. People don’t just shout during his sermons—they grow after them. They change. They mature. That is the mark of a true shepherd.
He reminds pastors that spiritual growth is not automatic. It is the result of intentional, skillful, Spirit-filled feeding. And it is the responsibility of the shepherd to provide that food.
A Shepherd Who Prepares the Table
Psalm 23 says, “Thou preparest a table before me.” Bishop Dag has lived this truth for decades. Every sermon he preaches is a prepared table. Every camp meeting is a banquet. Every teaching series is a feast of wisdom and grace. He doesn’t throw scraps—he prepares meals.
And because of this, the people are full. They are rooted. They are established. His churches are not shallow—they are deep. Not because of the size, but because of the strength of the Word within them.
Through his life and ministry, Bishop Dag Heward-Mills teaches us that feeding the flock is not just a duty—it is a divine calling. And when the flock is well-fed, they will thrive, multiply, and glorify the Chief Shepherd, Jesus Christ.
