The 5 Foolish virgins were not the only Christians that missed Heaven there is this other group: Anointed men of God who have turned the supernatural to a supermarket by merchandising the oil. The wise virgins advised the foolish ones "Go to them that sale". (Mat 25:9)
This set of ministers are not interested in the second coming of Jesus but in the material profit they can make from the grace of God upon their lives.
Referring to them Jesus said that on the last day they will even present the argument that they did miracles in His name but he will deny that He ever knew them notwithstanding the mighty works done in His name.
Some of these ministers sale products like holy water, anointing oil, handkerchiefs, books, pictures etc at exorbitant rates; others sale services like prayers, fasting, visions etc. with manipulative approaches.
The major distinguishing factor is that they are not concerned about the return of the master and they never preach it or even when they do, the message lacks the fervency that comes with the subject of GIVING or buying.
Please don't confuse this with the Daddy Freeze message and his attack on God's Generals. I believe that the Church needs money to run and I have nothing against ministers being comfortable while doing the work of God, after all a laborer is worthy of his wages. but let people give freely not out of compulsion or manipulation(2 Cor 9:7)
THINK ON THESE SCRIPTURES:
"For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple." Rom 16:18
"Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and their glory is in their shame. Their minds are set on earthly things." Phil 3:19
"Buy the truth and do not sell it" Prov 23:23
"As you go, preach this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven is near.’ Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give." Matt 10:7-8
