Just a few days ago...one of our very popular bishops a lady..her church has been criticized in the past for preaching prosperity gospel...so a few days ago she faced the harshest attack all over the media and everything,...she tweeted something like this..I'm paraphrasing... she said poverty is not ur portion favor is coming your way that new house that new car by the end of the week will be yours...something like that.and she got such harsh replies that she was on the news and they were even showing how wealthy her and her husband have become...from just church...n their wealth was being questioned ...some said they keep getting richer their kids are in the most expensive private schools locally and abroad while their followers keep giving but are not wealthy...

to to be honest I felt that she was misunderstood...they face a lot of criticism for living a good life and are accused of fleecing their members but to me I don't think that's the case....what's ur opinion on the so called " prosperity gospel" .? Because I don't feel it's wrong to give people hope

hope in what?

hope in stuff God may or may not grant, or hope in God Himself?

Whether the prosperity gospel teachers got rich off of other people (while it would be wrong if they did) is not even my focus. They can't get rich off of people who don't let them do so.

I'm trying to have some sympathy for these followers...but it's hard. They chose to give money to chase worldly treasures that they can't take to Heaven. They chose materialism. This is nothing but gambling with some God in it.

This is what happens when people have itching ears and don't endure sound doctrine.
