The same things which disqualify you is what makes you a perfect candidate for Grace. God is always seeking avenues to display His strength through you. The weaker you are, the more evident His power becomes. Learn to rest in His ability. Let the supernatural be manifest in your life.

— Taiwo Odukoya (1956–2023), Pastor, Mitbegründer der Fountain of Life Church, Autor
