Apostle Melvin Thompson III believes God gave him double for his distress because he received two sodas for the price of one from a malfunctioning vending machine.

What about the vending machine owner? He lost profit. Shouldn't an apostle of Jesus possibly find a way to give the vending machine owner his money back instead of claiming an extra soda as a sign of God's favor?

Apostle Axel Sippach claims Thompson as a son. In a Facebook post he promotes supposed downloads from heaven received during messages with Thompson. 

Aren't you glad these "Apostles" know about the realm of heavenly blessings given through malfunctioning vending machines?

Rest assured, if you have a huge series of troubles and distresses in life, God will be sure to double it by giving you a free soda from a broken vending machine. If you're a vending machine owner, just consider any lost profits as a sign God has opened a heavenly portal in your business and is blessing people with free carbonated beverages.
