Some ministers LORD over the flock and want preeminence among their people.
"I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not" 3 John 1:9.
They don't want you to steal their limelight or anyone else to become elevated. They want you in the background as they (the minister) live off of your gifts.
Some ministers would never hear the end of someone else preaching in their church since they are paid to do the job. To have others preach, it would mean to their overseers that they are slacking off on their responsibilities.
That's Christianity for you, professional preachers, and paid speakers.
We need to end it all. It starts with all of us. If you can't preach at you church, and no one there will give you the platform to minister than we must make our own platform.

Buy yourself a camera and do your own preaching. Become an outdoor preacher. Jesus gave you the calling, now use your gifts.
"And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." Mark 16:15.
Don't worry that you might not be perfect. God will help you say what He wants you to say. Effort is all that is required, not perfection. The more you will preach, the better you will become.
For those who are still learning, start memorizing scripture. There will come a day when the Words of God will begin to speak in you and through you.
Don't debate the gospel. You are called to deliver it, not verbally fight all the stupidness in the world. God can defend Himself. We are only called to deliver the message of the gospel and then teach all nations the ways of God. Do not debate with the ignorant. They have nothing to add to the things of God.
"But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person" 1 Corinthians 5:13.
