My mentor, Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke, was once asked, “What is the greatest secret to your incredible success?” Daniel Kolenda talks about his one-word answer in this podcast.

My mentor Reinhard Bonnke once told me the story of how a newspaper had spread vicious lies about him. His friends, jealous for his reputation, urged him to respond. But when he prayed, the Lord told him something pretty interesting. Here is that story.

Paul exhorts us in Titus 3:9 to “avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels about the law, because these are unprofitable and useless.” Notice that Paul did not call these controversies, arguments, and quarrels sinful things; he called them unprofitable and useless things. My friends, if you are going to be “winning the race” then we must apply these words to our lives.

Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke once told me that as a young man, he was kneeling at the altar in a pastors’ prayer meeting next to an elderly servant of God. He overheard the old man weeping as he asked God to please forgive him for the unclean things he had allowed into his life. Listen to the rest of this riveting story as told by Daniel Kolenda.

“Bring me a sword,” commanded the wise king. “Divide the living child in two, and give half to one, and half to the other.” This verse comes out of the book of 1 Kings and is a powerful story. Daniel Kolenda gives insight into “The Dividing Sword.”

Zechariah 14:20 prophetically tells of a day that is coming when everything will be consecrated to such an extent that even bells and bowls will be set apart for God’s glory as, “Holy to the Lord.”

Daniel Kolenda teaches from the “Seeds of Sin” through a powerful verse in Song of Solomon 2:15 which says, “[It’s] the little foxes that spoil the vines.”

Evangelist Leonard Ravenhill said that A. W. Tozer (the famous author) once told him that he wasn’t worried about being judged for the things he’d done. “It’s the things I could have done but didn’t do that worry me.” This sets up a necessary truth for the believer about “Remaining in God’s Will.”

Daniel Kolenda uses a unique story to show us how to reap through “A Patient Harvest.”

In 2 Samuel 23 we read the story about an extraordinarily tenacious warrior named Eleazar. The Bible says that in one particular battle against the philistines, all the other Israelite soldiers retreated. But Eleazar stood his ground and fought the philistine army by himself – so long and so hard that his hand “froze to the sword!” Daniel Kolenda challenges the listener to “Cleave to your sword!”

You can’t usually change today’s harvest by sowing good seeds today, but if you will determine to sow the right seeds day in and day out, in “due season” you will reap your harvest if you “faint not.”
