Little wonder they have been preaching prosperity for many years yet Nigerians are ranked the poorest individuals, better put it, where life is at lowest of practice. Where a husband and wife will live in an incompleted building where there is no toilet facilities yet they cook food in the building and eat, where do you expect them to pass out the poooooooo, popo. And more they added seven children inside the same house and from there raised them. Some boys, digger's, motor parks loaders, what low life have you in this country called Nigeria. And some of them girls, fucking around to be able to move forward and backward, turned slay Mama. Life in Nigeria and most of African countries are practically difficult and yet Africa has the most churches in the world. Especially Nigeria.



Infact the famous Ethiopia were the very few places mentioned in the Holy Bible. Today is Sunday and most of them whom are not even called from above, by the Almighty God, they only learnt it from their former daddy folks, you'd hear them screaming I say to you prosper, I declare prosperity to you, to your family and to your business" that's when the church really started and you begin to hear thunderous applause and Amen from folks who only want to hear what the preacher is sweating profusely and dreaming.



The Holy scriptures already mentioned them, that in the last days men will..


2 Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.




Why then should you preach holiness instead of prosperity. Very simple, because if you are not whole, which is the new word for holiness, complete, in the true nature of yourself and not another,then you are not complete, you're still unholy to merit anything good and perfect.


Hebrews 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:


Grace is holiness. When you are free, you are holy, that means justified by the exceeding grace and abundant mercy of the living God Almighty. He planned it out and not some answered prayers of ignorant men.

Ephesians 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:


We shared with you that without holiness, if you are not wearing your wedding gown, the new you, the one who is alive forever and ever more with him who lives forever and always. If the children of God Almighty isn't Holy, complete in him who is the head of principality and power,then they are still under bondages. It doesn't matter how prosperous they become. Like the children of God Almighty in Egypt. They were so prosperous in the land of bondages.


Obadiah 1:17 But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.



Did you noticed that prosperity came last on the list of what will happen in the Holy Land. Upon Zion nationality. The scriptures said there shall be deliverance from the power of disobedience, the prince of the power of the air men breath which controls the way they reason and feel. We were under that captivity.



Ephesians 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: 2:3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.


We are free from the kingdom of darkness, we are now in holiness, in the holy land. Can you set your mind on things above?? Could you think that you are in Christ, with God Almighty In God Almighty there is fullness of joy and at his right hand is pleasure for ever more.

These are your pleasures, possess your possession. You are the temple of God Almighty and his temple is holy.





2 Corinthians 6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 6:18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.





1 Corinthians 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.


Everything about you is holy, and so think Holy act holy and holiness, completeness, wholeness will you experience.

Really?

Interesting

Grace church

Preach Christ

Prosperity is only a sub-spirit of Faith. Holiness is a Super full Spirit like Grace, Blood of Christ, Purity, Righteousness and Sovereinty. Holiness embodies Faith, Hope, Peace, Love etc.

Thank you lord God Almighty

Surely

the prosperity Gospel, Gospel of faith, gospel of grace, Gospel of sacrifice, Gospel of holiness are all closely related, some are subsets of the other.

Focusing on only one of these Gospels will lead to creating an imbalanced church.

misusing the Gospel of prosperity has bred negative consequences just as much as taking the Gospel of holiness or faith to an extreme.

what we need is a balance of all these Gospels in other to create a balanced Christian: one that understands the Gospel of sacrifice, knows how to use his faith to get things, understands the principles of prosperity, recognizes the grace of God and know how to multiply it, practices holiness as a lifestyle.
rather than ignoring any of them and hammering on another.

I'll create a thread to explain the relationship between these Gospels and how the church has applied and gone to the extreme of some of these Gospels throughout it's history. I'll do this on a subsequent date and will tag some of the participants in this thread.

Price range

Preach it

Surely you
