The Parable Of The Foolish Child
The worst thing that can happen to a person
is to have an ignorant reverend as a minister.

Introduction
It was time for evening teaching, and the student devotees have gathered around their master, a living saint of God. The Saint sat before them in silent meditation. After a while, he opened his eyes and asked the student devotees a question.
The Saint: What do you think of a child who does not know his name?” (a devotee raised a finger.)
The Saint: Yes.
First Student: The child is a foolish one.
The Saint: What if the child does not know his father’s name? (another devotee raised his hand.)
The Saint: Yes.
Second Student: The child is a compound fool.
The Saint: And if the child does not know his father’s lands, estates and properties? (a third devotee raised a hand.)
The Saint: Yes.
Third Student: The child makes himself a slave where he supposes to be a king. His condition will not only get worse, but also terrible.
The Saint: So is this end time generation of humanity. They are intoxicated with ignorance and refuse to seek and know the Truth. Likewise, most of the churches, ministries and fellowships that parade themselves about. They are the very prisons that prevent people from finding God.
