Out of all the stories I was told many years ago, the story of a young man struck me
This young man was very gifted spiritualy

Another minister of the gospel met this young
This young man was very gifted spiritualy
Whenever and wherever he ministered, word of wisdom word of knowledge and prophecy would flow like a river
Another minister of the gospel met this young
man and invited him to a series of tent meeting crusades all over America
The young man saw it as an opportunity to minister to more people & accepted the deal
They got to a city
The other minister set up the tents and the crusade started

They got to a city
The other minister set up the tents and the crusade started
The young man ministered, many cases were
called, the supernatural began to manifest
Healings (Both physical and emotional) took place
When the young man was done, the spirit of repentance fell upon the people
Many started crying and wailing
The other minister saw an opportunity to cash in
He began to announce that God

He began to announce that God
wants the people to give all their belongings
Gold, silver, copper, money, and other valuables
People complied and a lot of money was thrown on the altar

The young man was expecting a call for repentance and was deeply disappointed by the actions of the other minister
After the
ministration, the young man asked the other minister why he fleeced the people instead of saving their souls
The other minister said "When you shear a sheep and remove its woolen fleece, does it not grow back? Did the gospel come to them free of charge? Were the tent & your meals

a free gift?
You focus on preaching and let me focus on making us rich!"
They went to another town, the young man ministered again and the power of the Holy Spirit moved mightily
The other preacher did what he did the other time and
they made a lot of money

The other minister announced a one on one counseling session with the young man

The news spread to other counties close by and the turnout was very impressive
The young man was happy
His gift has finally found

He was meeting with all sorts of people and the more people he met, the more the power of the Holy Spirit was made manifest
Soon their ragged tent meeting was changed into a proper trampoline tent and they were able to get a piano and some sound amplifiers

It was the
young man's dream to minister to as many people as possible
Even though he had reservations about the "fleecing", he couldn't complain because without it they wouldn't have gone as far as they did

minister all day and late into the night

He had a vision
He saw himself standing before the Lord at the Judgement seat of crown
He stood there while others were crowned and celebrated for their feats for the gospel
He waited in vain for his
name to be called so that he can receive his own crown and handshake but his name was not called
He ran to an angel and asked that the angel check his name in the book
He was sure there was a mix-up somewhere
The angel told him his name was not on the list, he had been invited to

He snatched the book from the angel and began to search frantically through the pages
He was so sure his name was in the book
He was still searching when he woke up
He was drenched in sweat and tears were streaming down his face

He knew it was a warning
He started packing his clothes & other things
He knew he must leave the company he hitched himself to
He knew going on with the tent meetings would cost him something more than gold

got angry and snatched his bag from him
"Everything you're packing belongs to me! I own you! You were nothing but a street bum when i met you. I put food in your tummy and clothes on your back. I made you famous. I am your manager and this is a show! Nothing but entertainment.

How can you have a scary dream about heaven or hell? You're a clairvoyant, a mind reader, a mentalist. That's all you are! I have put your gift to the best use and managed it to benefit many people. If you walk away, i will find another act that will sell better than you.

better sit down and think about what you're doing"
He was shocked
His partner never took "God" seriously
As far as his partner was concerned, it was all a gimmick
They were conmen who use the name of God to draw in the gullible and fleece them of their gain
The entire "crusade"

No wonder he couldn't find his name in the volume of the work
The gospel he preached was the gospel of the belly
The gospel of fine raiments and money
The gospel of Gehazi
The gospel of dogs
He was twenty-eight when he joined forces with the other minister

He started preaching from the moment he landed at the seaport and within three years he had planted ten churches
He told his story often
The story of how he turned a blind eye to the obvious just because he didn't trust God to provide for his daily bread!

PS: I have seen people driven by other motives to preach the gospel
I have watched other sands sink and fail
The gospel is the only power of God unto salvation
Jesus is the only rock upon which the gospel is built
Not religion, not Moses, not money, and surely not lies
