This is a teachable moment, l admire his strength and courage in taking this decision alongside his family. I have seen many Pastors and Church leaders who will never let go until they die.
@@chelsystephens3808 I disagree. I think that it is sad to continue to do a work when you can’t function enough to complete daily tasks. That is why churches need to have a succession plan in place.
This was done WITH CLASS and grace. He walked out with his head up high. Better he walk out then to be carried out like some who should have already retired.
This brought tears to my eyes and down my face…God Bless him and the 1st family. I am a Physical Therapist and to know that he served 10 yrs with the Parkinson’s Diagnosis and little to no disability! Nobody but OUR GOD!!! Well Done thy good and faithful servant! What an example to still be casting vision on his way out… so he is retiring yet not becoming a recluse🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
This is such a teachable moment to Pastors. Step down before we put you in the ground! Its obvious Bishop Blake had a plan and is prepared to retire. I have seen Pastor trying to preach even after their health failed to the point the could barely speak.
Take notes pastors, Bishop is providing a blueprint. He is modeling how to know when it is time to not let go, but step aside. Blessings to Bishop and Lady Mae.
This is so touching and I thank God for Bishop Blake. He understood his assignment and did his best to complete it. Now I pray that the Lord will sustain him a little longerjust so he could see the church carry on with the one he chose to be in his place as the next pastor and Bishop. 🙏🙏🙏. Bishop Blake done made THE LORD PROUD💙💙💙🖤🖤🤎🤎❤❤🙏🙏🙏
Thx to an associate of mine for sending this clip to me. I’ve searched & so grateful to finally have it. Grateful to be a part of this wonderful family for a year & counting. Lord continue to bless this anointed man, Bishop Charles E. Blake & his wife Lady Mae. Amen 🌹🌹
When I lived in Cali for a short while, my daughters and I went to the church one night and we really praised God! Thank God to this man, his wife, family and his ministry. May God keep them.
Well done Pastor you were faithful to the mission that God commissioned you to. We thank God for you and First Lady and your contributions to the ministry. Job well done thou faithful Servant. Sending love from North Carolina 🙏❤️🙌🙌🙌🙌
Thanks for sharing.... He & my Dad were very good friends.... Great Job Bishop Blake I'm glad you were alive to make such a hard decision but you deserve your rest....
One of the greatest spiritual leaders of all time. I have followed his ministry for the last 35 years. What an awesome leader of God's people, and a wonderful husband and family man, Bishop Charles Blake, you are one of a kind! May God blessings continue to be upon the West Angeles Church, Co-Pastor Blake, and the ministry team.
Thank you Bishop Charles E Blake and Lady Mae L Blake for being such great spiritual leaders. May God continue to bless you daily. A job well done thy good and faithful servant.
Greetings Bishop Blake & Lady Blake. You have left an legacy to be respected, & incorporated. You've done your very best, you leave it in God's hand to do the rest. May the works you've done on behalf of Christ gospel speak for you in generations to come. Enjoy the rest of your years in His marvelous watch care. Shalom 🙏
THANK GOD FOR BISHOP AND LADY BLAKE FOR YOUR SACRIFICES AND SERVICE TO THE LOCAL CHURCH AND NATIONAL WORK OF THE CHURCH OF GOD IN CHRIST. WE KNOW THAT YOUR LABOR IN THE LORD IS NOT IN VAIN. THE CHURCH HAS BEEN BLESSED THROUGH AND WITH YOU. MAY GOD SHOWER YOU AND YOUR FAMILY WITH LATTER RAIN BLESSINGS. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING GOD ALLOWED YOU TO DO FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD. 🙏 🙌 THE BEST IS YET TO COME ✨, GOD BLESS YOU!!!!
Hi I am a member love you and your family God bless you and your family bishop Blake for all of the prayers give us hope love Priscilla Thompson let the church say Amen ❤
What a phenomenal example that Bishop Blake as set for all preachers and elders of this great church. There are two days common to every man that is called to preach the Gospel, the day you are called and they day when you must change the guard and give the mantel to another. Thank you for showing all of us how it is done with grace and dignity. Well done Bishop and family, well done! Also, well done for the Church, making it as easy as possible for Bishop to make this transition. May the Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make His face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you; the Lord lift upHis countenance upon you, and give you peace." Number 6:24-26
Hi iam a friend and member of Bishop working for him 1984 teachable moment for me to see this this was a blessing to be with a man of God like this brother Roundtree Atlanta,ga
Congratulations Bishop, May the Lord God continue to bless you both and keep you in all your ways. Thank you for all of your service. 🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏💗💗💗💗💗💗🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹💗🌹
Notice he made him co-pastor not pastor so in effect he is still the pastor but his son is taking the weight. This is awesome this will help make the transition smooth Bishop John H Sheard did the same.
what a marvelous example of Elegance and Grace the creme the la creme of a pastor and first lady although retiring still going out on top why blood is yet running warm through their veins congratulations Bishop Charles and Lady lake take your rest enjoy your retirement for you have been a prime example to the body of your Christ
Sad but glad you can now pass the gospel baton & rest from your works! We are grateful for your obedience to the gospel. Thank you sir, it has helped a many of thousands!🙏
I believe Lawrence Blake wanted to be the head pastor and Bishop Blake choose the other son instead. I think they had a falling out of some kind over this. I love Mother Mae but she looks very uncomfortable up there!
@MiLLER WILLIAMS Other message boards have shown those who prefer Lawrence’s delivery over Jr’s. Definitely different without Bishop Blake’s more hands-on energy.
I enjoyed bishop Paul Morton’s model a little better. Early retirement allows you more time to pour into your successor. Bishop Alfred Owens didn’t do too badly either. This just seems like he waited too long for retirement. Better late than never I guess.
@@wisdomislife8080 who said I’m following man see calm dat …. He gave all he can and he can’t give no more .. so he’s handling it chill out and celebrate the man for still giving the father all of him …. Get out ya flesh …smh …….. cuz I kno to life ain’t been perfect and you HAVE NOT done things that should’ve been done when then should’ve …… Great job bishop
TO GOD BE THE GLORY FOR THE THINGS THAT HE HAS DONE. To our BELOVED BISHOP AND HIS FIRST LADY, I want to thank you for letting GOD use you for his GLORY. You have been a blessing and have served us well. MAY THE WORK THAT YOU HAVE DONE SPEAK FOR YOU. OUR LIVES HAVE BEEN ENRICHED BECAUSE OF YOUR SACRIFICES AND SERVICE. THANK YOU AND WE LOVE YOU.
@@sharodjohnson thank you because Marvin Winans getting married has nothing to do with Bishop Blake retiring and passing the pastorship of West Angles C.O.G.I.C. to his son.
This is a teachable moment, l admire his strength and courage in taking this decision alongside his family. I have seen many Pastors and Church leaders who will never let go until they die.
Thats how it should be. U take up this yes, know the cost.
@@chelsystephens3808 I disagree. I think that it is sad to continue to do a work when you can’t function enough to complete daily tasks. That is why churches need to have a succession plan in place.
@@219tfair who retired in the bible?
@@chelsystephens3808 Not about to argue.
@@chelsystephens3808 Can you tell me in the Bible where it says that people supposed to keep preaching with their minds and bodies can’t function
I APPLAUD BISHOP BLAKE FOR UNDERSTANDING THE TIME AND NEED TO RETIRE
This was done WITH CLASS and grace.
He walked out with his head up high.
Better he walk out then to be carried out like some who should have already retired.

Absolutely 👌
I've witnessed it w/my former Pastor.
We are praying for you Bishop Blake and First Lady Mae Blake and Family To God Be The Glory.

Such class and dignity!
Praying for Elder Charles and the entire West Angeles church. Praying for the church of Jesus Christ and their leaders at large
He lives to see his successors in both capacities. That's a blessing within itself.

Can't find know where in the scriptures where any of God Messengers ever retired.
What he retired to be his man or the devil that he worshipers
retire??? when it comes to preaching truth...there is no retirement. only those who teach man made doctrines retire!!!
He's old school! He left right after Marvin Winans got married! He wants to get away from the foolishness as a presiding prelate!
