Your words come from the'riches' of your heart. It takes no skill at all to know what is in your heart when you broadcast it to the world. But...What's in your heart is not my problem so I don't judge. And telling you what you are spewing all over the place is not judging anyway. So Please STOP praying for me! I don't need your prayers and I don't want them. I don't know you enough to accept the help. When people pray for you its vital that you consider the source.

You know God blessed job immensely and being blessed with riches is not bad thing. Sometimes God gives in abundance so that we can also give in abundance but blessed is the man who gives when he has not the money for food. Honestly bashing and complaining about rich preachers is not something we should spend our time on, after all things are not always as they appear sometimes a preacher is rich because God made him so
And God made Abraham stinkin rich too. Who else? Ummmm Solomon!

[h=2]David[/h] And he died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honour:
[h=2]Jehoshaphat[/h] Therefore the LORD established the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat presents; and he had riches and honour in abundance

Hillsong total net worth is said to be around between $120-$300 Million a year.....that is their Australian tax exempt valuation...
I view Hillsong as just a world wide media corp that does something called "church" every now and then....
When tax exemptions status start going away in the world, watch how quick some of these ministries will be revealed as emperors without clothes...
