It doesn't matter what has happened, better things are coming. God's plan produces hope in me.

What kind of future is in God's plan? A good one to which you can look forward. That's why you can hope.

All I can say is Bishop Jakes would not currently accept the designation of Prosperity Preacher or Word of Faith Preacher as an accurate description of what he believes currently. Now his ministry will have to bear that out. I'm not here to defend him or stick up for his various errors. And I don't want to minimize error that is significant. All I'm saying is that he, as of two weeks ago, would not accept those terms, in private conversation, as accurate descriptors of what he believes.

The Christian way is a life of faith. In order to hold on to the promises of God, you've got to believe them and live by them.

Don't lean on your own understanding. If your trust in God is limited by your understanding of His ways, you will always have a limited trust.

I will not fail: God is always victorious.

Jesus washing the disciples feet is the most supreme act of humility in all of God’s word.
