My father-in-law [told me] the following story:
One day, the leaders of a church were in the process of deciding whom to invite to minister at one of their meetings. One of them, an older man, insisted on inviting a young person who had demonstrated God’s anointing on his life and through whom God was performing signs, wonders and miracles. He was so insistent that another member of the group became angry and said: “Why does it have to be that young person?
