How to Not Labor in Vain

The Lord always helps me when I preach, provided I have earnestly sought Him in private...Whenever I study a single part of divine truth, I always gain some light about it after praying and meditating over it. Extensive prayer is often difficult because of the weakness of the flesh, physical infirmitiees, and a full schedule. But no one should expect to see much good resulting from his labors if he does not spend time in prayer and meditation.

Such sweet words regarding preparing a message. I remember that Pastor Tony teaches that the message or study someone prepares for must first be for that person who is preparing it.
