In my opinion, the better the ministry the more it tends to produce leaders. By this measure Lee's is near the bottom because all it produces is followers. As a matter of fact, Lee's ministry is geared to
not produce leaders, but rather to punish anyone who tries to take things to the next level.
This places Lee's ministry as possibly one of the worst of all time. All it can produce in the end is stagnation.
God doesn't need followers, he needs leaders. Rick Warren has a great ministry. I always feel challenged to lead when I hear or read it. I never feel like it's about him.
Lee had some good things. But they were so mixed with garbage that his ministry can't be taken directly without risking being affected by the negative. Add that he insisted that nothing he taught was erroneous and even that it was an error not to embrace everything he taught or to mix in anything else, he should be avoided. Only an expert could safely traverse Lee's ministry without getting infected with the junk.
As I've said, the bits and pieces of Lee's ministry that God wants to become popular will do so. But it will happen indirectly. Lee as a whole is DOA and will remain that way. It's sad, but he did it to himself. I'm not sure what is sadder, the way Lee destroyed his own legacy, or the way his followers sit around wasting their lives waiting for his comeback.
