“I must have prayed for weeks before I preached my first sermon at 14 years of age. I pleaded for God’s help and blessing, knowing that without it I would be a miserable failure. Today I often preach as many as twelve times in a single week. I no longer feel nervous, even when preaching to crowds of hundreds of thousands – and that is where the danger lies. Although I feel comfortable and confident in the pulpit, I have to remind myself continually that my sense of security is just an illusion. I could preach the most articulate sermon with the most brilliant delivery, but I would still be a miserable failure without the blessing of the Lord.”
Quotes
“Jesus didn’t die on the cross to make preachers famous. Jesus didn’t die on the cross to give pastors a well-paid career. Jesus died on the cross to seek and to save those who are lost. I do not seek applause. I am not after the honor of men. I am after souls, nothing more! God wants to save people and He uses you and me for His purposes.” ~ Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke
“Few things are more dangerous for a minister than success. It’s important to remember that you’re never as good as they say you are and you’re never as bad as they say you are… you’re always somewhere in between. I was with Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke recently when he received an award during a very special ceremony. When he got to the microphone he said, “I accept this award in the name of the one who has said, “Without me you can do nothing.”” ~ Evangelist Daniel Kolenda

Matthew 7:11
If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!
Rejoice, O believer! Rejoice in the unaccountably vast treasure of mercy the Lord showers upon His bride! He is the King of All and is faithful to reward His children. He has given you a throne! A robe of righteousness! A crown of victorious glory! Every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places is yours by the Father's hand. Give thanks, sing "Hallelujah," and proclaim the joy of His resurrection!
