*Twelve Lessons To Learn From The Life And Exploits of Reinhard Bonnke (The Late Evangelist Extra - Ordinary)*

1. During the early days of his ministry he used to invite other ministers to pray for people for the impartation of healing and miracles, the day God took him to a new level of the miraculous was when he invited other ministers as usual for his Revival but everyone of them disappointed him, he was left with no other choice but to pray for the sick, lame and blind by himself, and more than ever before the miracles that God did through Bonnke surpassed those of all the ministers he had always invited combined together

2. He won over 77 million souls for Christ without establishing any church

3. Just like Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola who prophecied his passing away 2 years ahead in 1957, Babalola indeed passed away in 1959

Reinhard Bonnke had his FAREWELL crusade in Nigeria in November 2017 , of course he knew he would soon be going home, his FAREWELL was both to this world and his lovers around the world , because God told him to do it, he knew his time had come to depart this world , exactly 2 years after just as it was in the case of Babalola , Bonnke, on December 7 , 2019 passed on to glory

4 . He distributed over 500 million Christian books to new converts around the world including Bibles and books FREE OF CHARGE

5. As popular as he was , as acceptable as his ministry was especially in Africa, Reinhard Bonnke never took that advantage to extort money from any body, he never collected any offering during any of his services

6. Reinhard Bonnke had 3 children and 9 grandchildren yet he never handed his ministry's leadership to anyone of them, God told him that DANIEL KOLENDA would be his successor, Daniel is neither Bonnke's son nor relative but he perfectly obeyed GOD by handing over the headship of the ministry to him

8. During his last FAREWELL crusade in Nigeria , unknown to Reinhard Bonnke, a man who had been dead for four days was brought to the revival ground , yet the ANOINTING of God's spirit that was present on the crusade ground during Bonnke's ministration, resurrected the man back to life

9. Reinhard Bonnke was NEVER LINKED to any scandal of stealing, adultery or fake miracles during his life and ministry for 60 years , He was a lover of Holiness, purity and sanctification

7. Christ For All Nations ,(CfaN) a non denominational organization founded by Reinhard Bonnke is the Largest Christian Non- denominational evangelism organization in the world till today

10. Reinhard Bonnke did not exhibit covetousness by establishing a church against God's plan for his ministry, he remained in his office and calling only as an EVANGELIST till he had his last breath

11. His ministry never lacked money, his Ministry never ran bankrupt, so how did he finance his ministry without collecting offering from millions of people who attended his crusades, since Bonnke himself was a giver, our GOD Himself whose name is JEHOVAH JIREH who sent Bonnke the errand he answered , touched the hearts of millions of Christians around the world, these Believers kept sending freewill offerings and donations to Bonnke on their own without anyone forcing them , to the extent that God blessed CFAN Bonnke's organization since 1967 that it was founded till today,that organization never lacked anything till date

10. Reinhard Bonnke did not exhibit covetousness by establishing a church against God's plan for his ministry, he remained in his office and calling till he had his last breath

12. Conclusion

Precious in the sight of God is the death of HIS saints Psalm 116:15

Brother Reinhard Bonnke for those of us whose lives were touched by you directly we will surely miss you , I will never forget THE GREAT OGBOMOSHO CRUSADE ,which you organised and ministered where hundreds of thousands surrendered to Jesus Christ , the power of darkness was disgraced in OGBOMOSHO land , till today OGBOMOSHO never remains the same

The impact of your book FAITH, THE CONNECTION TO GOD'S POWER, is still fresh upon my life till today

Adieu Brother Bonnke

One day we shall meet at the glorious Kingdom of HEAVEN , a place far away from this world of battle and vanity

Shalom

At least I was privileged to attend one of his power packed. Crusade ..... RIP man of God

Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke (19 April 1940 – 7 December 2019) was a German Pentecostal evangelist, principally known for his Great Gospel Crusades throughout the Continent of Africa. Bonnke has been an evangelist and missionary in Africa since 1967.

Bonnke has had over 79 million recorded decisions for Christ made during his crusades. He has preached the gospel to more people than anyone in history.

Born Reinhard Willi Gottfried Bonnke on 19 April 1940 in Königsberg, East Prussia, Germany, he got born again at the age of nine after his mother spoke with him about the punishment for a sin he committed, unless Jesus saved him. He felt a call to preach the gospel in Africa at the age of 10, and since then, never lost his passion to preach the gospel in Africa.
