He asked me, “How do you stay humble, Bishop Jakes?” I said, “Because I know me. I have no choice but to be humble. It is by God’s grace that I stand where I stand. He uses me in spite of me. There are things that pulled me out of my comfort zone, that pulled me out of my insecurities and out of my inhibitions. I didn’t come because I was wonderful or better or perfect or superior or anything else. I came because He drew me by His right hand. He stretched forth His hand and said, ‘I call you unto Myself, and I’m going to use you right there.’”
