The minister was amazed. With those offerings he could alleviate his sufferings. The people began to give continuously. The church grew and spread to support many branch churches. Some Christians believe that it is a blessing to receive rather than to give.
Many ministers are after gain.
Anyone who works in his father's vineyard would not expect wages. The one who expects wages is a servant and not a son. If I work for the wages paid by someone, I am working only for him and not for God. Many ministers have risen in this world whose concern is only worthless worldly gain. Even those who start their ministry in power, become dispirited in course of time and join some organization for their living.
