Matthew 21-22

Psalm 8:2 Out of the mouths of babes and unweaned infants You have established strength because of Your foes, that You might silence the enemy and the avenger.(A)

Matthew 21:16And they said to Him, Do You hear what these are saying? And Jesus replied to them, Yes; have you never read, Out of the mouths of babes and unweaned infants You have made (provided) perfect praise?(D)

It was not explicit in the version of Psalm 8.2 used by most translations where the strength came from. Jesus reveals that God's manifest strength is established through praise (quoting the Septuagint version of Psalm 8.2 I think).

43I tell you, for this reason the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce the fruits of it.

Where is the fruit in my ministry? How can I become more fruitful?!
