People's heart are set in stone, so I'm not saying this to try to convince anyone, but to simply state how I feel about this matter.


Associating Jesus's first coming with pomp and pageantry was how the Jews missed it. Since he was the son of God, they expected him to be wealthy beyond belief. But rather he came the son of a carpenter and they never believed he was the son of God and ended up killing him even. The Jewish people are till date awaiting the first coming of the messiah.

Most pastors like these associate wealth with God and sometimes even righteousness even when that same God they claim to worship sent his son to live like a pauper. Jesus did all that not so we could enjoy immerse wealth, but to really connect with our soul, our self and our spirituality. He thought us to be humble, to be patient kind loving, devoted and being a blessing to others. He preached about joys and riches of God's kingdom and the only way getting that is leaving all material wealth and people to follow me.

Yet all these pastors do is preach and preach about material wealth. How that's God's blessing and how you have to drop some offerings to access that blessing. They ignore all passages of the scriptures which tells people to renounce their wealth and follow Jesus. Passages that say it's easier for a camel to pass the eye of a needle than a rich man are all safely ignored.

Anyone who has ever had a spiritual awakening will tell you this. The two greatest things that can't mix in this universe is materialism and spirituality. For you to be strong spiritually, you have to be denounce materialism or anything that pleases the flesh. This is why people fast. This is why people live in caves and climb mountains in the quest of getting spiritually quest. But who are these who represent spirituality in our so called churches? fast talking preachers who preach prosperity prosperity and more prosperity, as if that's what life is really all about.

You will have more peace when you start ignoring them, give them less attention. They are are product of the society, if there are no gullible people to deceive, there won't be sweet talking pastors. The best you can do is to be a better you and always have it at the back of your mind that you have two commandments to keep.
Love God
Love your neighbor as yourself.
Actually it's one because you can't say you love God who you have not seen when you can't love your neighbor and fellow human who you can see.
