Be equipoise

Unattached preacher preaches the rich man in the same way as he preaches a poor man; and he preaches the poor in the same way as he preaches a rich man. It means that in his attitude there is no difference in between a rich and a poor man. He preaches all in the same way.

A preacher must be equipoise. Preaching is not a thing for sale so that you preach better only where you get more money and where you get less money or less recognition, you preach ordinarily. A preacher should be equipoise for all categories of listeners.
