Putting the M(me) in miracle

I had always thought that when everything in life went sideways, i'd launch a church, be a pastor or maybe even a bishop. An alternative, a backup plan of sorts. But it looks like the jig's up. Seeds have been sown, miracles have been sold, the fools have been duped and prayers have been...well...NOT answered.
How to successully open and run a business 101: Church edition. Lessons learnt? 
1.Always give your fellow conmen their dues or they will screw you in the backside. 
2.Never accept fault!Always blame it on the devil!

It is just very unfortunate that millions,maybe thousand follow these "prophets" to get miracles. Give away their hard earned money just to get a little hope in life or miracles.
A miracle is when that single mother puts her kids through school only off the nyanya and veggies she sells. It is that kid who got an accident, lost a hand but still somehow learnt to use the other hand and passed her exams.
Don't expect Jesus to come down and multiply bread and fish for you...because He won't. But what he will do is wake you up every morning, give you great health, four limbs for you to get out there and bake your own. Or just cause a Superloaf truck to crash.
Impossible as it may seem, we are the authors of our own miracles. You want a job? Don't sow a seed. Go to school, get your papers in order, apply for it. That is your miracle. For sure they don't come easy. I believe Jesus multiplied the bread after guys had followed Him for some time, maybe 4pm...a whole day. Turned water into wine after the wedding's wine was over. I am not saying you should eat bread or drink wine...All I am saying, they all took time. But at the end, looking back, you realise it was worth your while.
