MONEY ANSWERS ALL THINGS!
MONEY ANSWERS ALL THINGS!
He’s one of the leading
bishops from the African American Church; we were told. God's using the man to
prophesy over people by quoting Bible verses and encourages them.
This
ominous service took place in Soweto, three decades ago: where one famous evangelist
was ordained into the bishopric ministry.
After all the blah-blah
about money being the solution to everything: the American preacher challenged
the congregants to give as much as possible towards the Ordination.
Can I
have here, the line of all the people who’d say: I want to pledge 10000? How
about 5000 here? 2500, 1500, 1000 and even 500: the fast-talking bishop
continued.
I checked my wallet
and found only 50 available, I stood in this poor man's line. In my heart, for
real now; I truly believed that this was the day: I was going to hear the word from
the LORD!
Strangely,
only those who had pledged big bucks were prophesied on. The man didn’t even come
close to us. Well, I didn’t get the answers from God because I didn’t have the
right amount of money.
Thank God, the man
never laid his grifting hands on me. Who knows what would have become of me… today
if he did?
