It is highly improbable not to say impossible that the Revival
of Zacchaeus will ever take place in your Church. Like the
children of Israel who died in the wilderness of Sinai, Revivals
after Revivals you will be turning and turning inside of your
Church Building going absolutely nowhere. During your spiritual
journey inside the boundary of your church walls you have
experienced all sort of "Revivals", you are now asking what the
"Zacchaeus Revival" can possibly be? You had the Laughter and
Prosperity Revivals, may be the Gold Teeth and Gold Dust Revivals.
You are wondering how come you did not hear anything concerning
the Zacchaeus Revival. The harder you think about it, more you
are asking why your Pastor never mentioned anything about the
Zacchaeus Revival?
When Salvation came to the house of Zacchaeus, he said unto
the Lord; "Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the
poor". Zacchaeus also added if he had dishonestly taken anything
from any man, he would restore fourfold. Zacchaeus was rich but
by no means as wealthy as Billy Graham, John Haggee, Rod Parsley,
Paul Crouch, James Dobson, T. D. Jakes, James Kennedy, Pat
Robertson, Robert Schuller, Richard and Oral Roberts, and all
the other Gospel's Millionaires. Do you think these ministers
who are daily preaching "Salvation" would consider giving a
portion of their colossal fortunes to the poor? Even those who
have fraudulently deprived the poor of the Charity money
collected for years in their Churches, would they accept to
give back to the poor half of their riches? Do you think the
pastors who have embezzled their Church funds would accept to
restore fourfold to the followers they have duped? Do you
believe it is the same Salvation that touched Zacchaeus house
these loaded ministers are preaching? After having produced a
change in Zacchaeus' heart to restore fourfold and give to the
poor half of his goods, if this is the same Salvation how to
explain it is now transforming these ministers into money
insatiable Monsters? The Revival of Zacchaeus will never take
place in the churches of these ministers, the reason is very
simple:
Lk:16:13: NO SERVANT can serve two masters: for either he
will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold
to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and
mammon.

1Tm:6:9: But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a
snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men
in destruction and perdition.
10: For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while
some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced
themselves through with many sorrows.
11: But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after
righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
The next time your Pastor will bring another Dollar Revival to
your church, will you have the courage to ask him about the
unpopular Revival of Zacchaeus?
