Big Returns!

It would take me months before I get a haircut.

I always wait for heavenly “manna” to meet my needs.

St. Francis was my model.

I feel light and free that I have no money in my pockets.

I seldom shave.

I brush my teeth occasionally.

I take a bath only when I remember to.

If saints would have odor of sanctity, I have the odor of calamity.

The only time that people would be convinced that I was human is when I was giving talks.

Weird?  Wait till you hear my belief.

I believe that the real servant of God must be poor!

That being a poor missionary deprived of all material wealth and convenience is the Holiness and a

mark of a Big Time Servant of God.

I was a Poverty Gospel Preacher.

I love God but I was very poor.

Then God radicalized and revolutionized my belief system! 

(And Repentance means change of mind)

Now I regularly visit the Barbershop (Bruno’s, every now and then)

St. Francis is still my model of internal simplicity.

Now I have money to raise up my family and to help many people.

Now I shave regularly and brush my teeth three times a day.

Now I take a bath everyday and have the odor of reality.

Now people would believe in God more when I give talks

Now I believe that it is no longer a time of OR;

Now is the time of AND!

Now a person can be both a missionary and a millionaire.

Now I am both a steward and a servant.

Now I am a Practical Gospel Preacher!

Now I worship and I work.

Now I earn and I share.

Now I give painfully and generously.

Now big returns regularly come.

Now it’s all happening to me!

Now make it happen to you!
