F.B. Meyer Prayed That God Would Bless Charles Spurgeon

When F. B. Meyer was the pastor of Christ Church in London, Charles Sturgeon was preaching at Metropolitan Tabernacle, and G. Campbell Morgan was at Westminster Chapel. Meyer said, “I find in my own ministry that supposing I pray for my own little flock, ‘God bless me, God fill my pews, God send me a revival,’ I missed the blessing; but as I pray for my brother Mr. Sturgeon, on the right-hand side of my church, ‘God bless him;’ or my brother Campbell Morgan, on the other side of my church, ‘God bless him;’ I am sure to get a blessing without praying for it, for the overflow of their cups fills my little bucket.” (Wycliffe Handbook of Preaching & Preachers, W. Wiersbe, p. 193).
