I would tell your generation, wherever you are on the totem poll - whether you're halfway there or at the bottom, don't despise small beginnings; small beginnings get you ready for great things.

Don't come into the presence of God to impress Him with something He gave you!

What you can do is embrace what you have right now and to allow it to fill the vacancies of what you didn't get yesterday.

It is possible for you to get a grip on the thing that used to have a grip on you. And instead of it controlling you- you are now controlling it.

When Jesus says, 'Take, eat. This is my body that was broken for you,' He says, I want my body in you. (Pause. . . shouts and claps) I want my blood in you. And every time you celebrate this rite, it is a reminder that you belong to me, and I belong to you. And he said, 'I will drink no more wine until I drink it new with you and the kingdom of God. Communion is the most romantic ordinance. Eh, Eh, Eh. (He laughs. Pause. . . the audience shouts and claps.) It is the most romantic ordinance between two lovers.

Surround yourself with those who won’t compete but will revel in your success and see your ascent as a reflection of their own possibilities.

I came to serve notice on the devil- he is a liar!
