God's native tounge eh? Let's take a look at what this
preacher-for-profit has comming:

1)God has promised that False Teachers and False Prophets will be
among us. Such wolves "in sheep's clothing" (Matthew 7:15)

2)"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like
white washed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but on the
inside they are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness. So
you, too, outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are
full of hypocrisy and lawlessness."

3)"Woe to you, scribes, and Pharisees, hypocrites because you travel
around on sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes
one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves."

4)"Anyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies without mercy (by
men)on the testimony of two or three witnesses. How much severer
punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled under foot
the Son of God, ..?"

Most important:

5)Woe to the shepherds who are destroying and scattering the sheep
of my pasture!" declares the LORD. 2.."Because you have scattered my
flock and driven them away and have not bestowed care on them, I
will bestow punishment on you for the evil you have done,"

there are other more severe punishments, but these should do for
such a pimple of a preacher that gave up 3 churches to travel around
selling lies for money.

Well many of them travel to preach and most take money in some form
(they eat too) so I don't suppose you would want to bring down such
punishments on every travelling preacher who takes money.

Jesus was clear. Accepting hospitality, accepting food, not a problem. Because the worker is worthy his meal. So accepting enough money to live on, not a problem. The real reason Jesus gave these instructions for is because money corrupts. Jesus knew this. He tossed the money changer's table in the temple and said render to Ceasr what is Ceasar's. (refering to a coin) When money is involved, there is corruption and very little real truth.

However, please feel free to explain how million dollar airplanes and owning several multi-million dollar homes along with an obscene bank account fits into Jesus' ministry of truth.

How do you know that this minister owns any of those things?

The article says that he and his wife travel around the country, staying in the homes of those who are willing to listen to his message. He could be staying in a luxury hotel, but chooses not to. There's nothing in the article to suggest that this minister is wealthy, or flaunts whatever wealth he does have.
