HOW PREACHERS SUCCESSFULLY EXPLOIT PEOPLE

This generation is witnessing highest numbers of multi-billionaires and multi-millionaires among the ministers of God than ever before. Since the beginning of Christianity from Jesus Christ to the Apostles to our contemporary men of God such as John Wesley, Martin Luther, D L Moody, etc. there have never been this type of super-rich, luxurious and extravagant ministers of the gospel as we have now.

How did they get their riches? For example, Nigeria has more rich ministers of God in the world among the top 10 richest ministers, whereas Nigeria has one of the highest numbers of people living below poverty level in the world, and one of corrupt countries in the top 10 most corrupt countries.

From America to Africa to Asia we see super rich ministers, how did they get their riches? Does God send angels to bring cash for them from heaven? NO. Were they such super rich before they started the ministry? NO! They claim they are living above world economy, and that their finance source can never dry. And many wonder, where are they getting their multiple finance that make them super rich, even richer than the people they pastor and even the corrupt politicians? How do they manage to live such luxurious and extravagant lifestyle which our governors can’t afford?

The secret of their riches in the Bible, it is a foretold warning of the secret of these super-rich ministers. Read it in the Book of 2 Peter 2:3, “By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber.”

Their Secret
The secret of all our super-rich gospel ministers all over the world is deceptive words – deceiving their followers with deceptive words and their followers in return donate their wealth. They all have the same messages and lifestyles.

How could they successfully gather wealth from several thousands of their followers and become super-rich, are their followers such gullible? NO, their followers are not gullible but covetous. On the part of the rich ministers are deceptive words, according to the Bible, and on the part of the followers is covetousness. The Bible says, by covetousness these so called ministers of God will exploit you. You know what it means? These so called ministers of gospel have deceptive words and their followers have covetous heart, now when deceptive words meets covetous heart, there will always be exploitation. It is a simple chemistry – when deceptive words meet a covetous heart there will be exploitation, and that is exactly what the Bible says. 2 Peter 2:3.

The multi-millionaire preachers in America, in Africa, in Europe, in Asia are successfully exploiting their followers with their deceptive words because those Christian followers have covetous hearts. Here is how it happens:

The super-rich preachers use deceptive words of prophetic declaration of products without productivity, and their followers give them prophetic offering. Now, how can there be products without productivity, simply by raising up your hands or by giving all the money in your account to the prophet? It is because the followers are covetous; they want the products in a cheap way without productivity.

The super-rich preachers preach prosperity of God without purity of life to please God. When the Bible says we should seek first the kingdom of God and its righteous living, the super-rich preachers ignore purity, holiness of life and preach prosperity. The followers follow because they are covetous of a cheap, sweet gospel.

The prosperity preachers preach peace of God without pleasing God. They preach crown without cross, they preach faith without faithfulness, they preach resting in the Lord without restitution, they preach forgiveness of God without forsaking sins, they preach confession without repentance, they preach wonders of God without watchfulness in Him, they preach second touch of God’s supernatural blessing without preaching the second coming of Jesus; they preach open heaven of God’s blessing without the open heaven of God’s judgment.

These super-rich pastors promise heaven abounding for their followers without holiness of life, whereas it is written clearly in the Bible that without holiness no man shall see the Lord, Heb. 12:14, it is because the followers have covetous hearts for sweat free gospel.

They deceive you with deceptive words for your cheap money because you have covetous heart for cheap gospel, for broad road.

I heard someone talking of his bishop, he said in around 1985, God told the bishop in America that, “My son, go to Nigeria and deliver my people from poverty and make them rich.” But 30 years after, the bishop who had little and maybe one or two cars then, now has privates jets and many things, and Nigeria whom he came to deliver from poverty is getting poorer, more unemployment, more poverty, lack of primary healthcare, more crimes, and education is more expensive. Now who has made who rich? Is it the bishop who has made Nigeria rich or covetous followers of Nigerians who have made the bishop rich? The Bible says by covetousness these so called ministers of God will exploit you.

I was in a church some years ago and the pastor announced that their daddy G.O was coming to Abuja for special Holy Ghost service and anyone who wanted to see daddy G.O in a special meeting should collect invitation card of N15000. The same daddy G.O who told his followers that they should redeem their firstborn children with money to avoid firstborn curse. These are the same super-rich ministers who collect first fruit offerings, prophetic offering into their personal accounts. They exploit you with deceptive words because you too have a covetous heart.

The Bible says the judgment of God is coming of all these super-rich, luxurious, prosperity preachers, and motivational speakers. “for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber.” 2 Peter 2:3

All the prosperity preachers, super-rich pastors, motivational speakers are working for Satan and the judgment of God is waiting for them, including those who follow them and donate for their false ministries.

“But these, like natural brute beasts made to be caught and destroyed, speak evil of the things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption, 13 and will receive the wages of unrighteousness, as those who count it pleasure to carouse in the daytime.

They are spots and blemishes, carousing in their own deceptions while they feast with you, 14 having eyes full of adultery and that cannot cease from sin, enticing unstable souls. They have a heart trained in covetous practices,and are accursed children. 15 They have forsaken the right way and gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness.” 2 Peter 2:12-15.

Do not be among the deceived; do not wait till after rapture before you realize you are being deceived. Desire genuine salvation and choose the narrow path that leads to heaven.

Don't forget that the judgment of God is also coming on those passing judgment. Your Scripture quotations are wide off the mark of your subject matter. I keep saying this, leave men of God alone because you are not God who called them and who will also judge them knowing this that the judgment of preachers will be stricter. In the same vein, their reward is greater. To judge them is to disrespect the authority of God Himself. Beware, Mister.
Re: How Preachers Successfully Exploit People by ifenes(m): 5:53am On Jun 18, 2017
The fear of god is the beginning of foolishness obviously. Otherwise how could millions of people be exploited by a few people? When one man lies to you every Sunday, takes 10% of your wages/salaries constantly, I doubt it is wisdom.

The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. It's the fear of Pastors that's the beginning of stewpidity.
No where in the bible does God ask Christians to pay tithe. But "pastors" do. So they are not Christians as far as am concerned.
Bro, keep your faith in God and ignore the "pastors".

It is ignorance that makes you call all pastors thieves. There are many pastors unknown, not wealthy, having little flock, suffering selflessly in the discharge of their duties as shepherds appointed by God and doing that happily and here you are shouting ignorantly.

There are lecturers who are known for sexually harassing students but does that make all lecturers in the world guilty of the same wrong? Soldiers and policemen are well known for their brutality but does that make all of them one in behaviour? Many accountants are known for falsifying information but does that make all accountants dishonest?

Please understand his point well.

He didn't say all pastors. He said the super rich ones that fly jets while their members wallow in abject poverty.
The ones that talk so much about prosperity on earth(as if it matters most), while Jesus asked us to think more about making heaven
The ones that seldom warn their members about spending eternity in hell,but they are quick to tell you how rich you are supposed to be.

Good, that's wat I expected to hear from you. Even in the Bible it is written that the servants of God will suffer after that they will enjoy. But many dont want to suffer at all, they want easy way. Why will many of them lay so much emphasis on money?

@op. According to the scripture you quoted . God would judge them right? So why not leave the judgement to God . The things you said about ministers here are not true . We can't rule out errors in the body but that's Gods. BUsiness to purge his church . It is a big error on your part to call the so call super rich ministers as scammers. Some pastors got their money from business some others who have solve problems for people through miracles receive gifts in return . Same thing happpend to Jesus . And people called him scammer and dupe

Luke 8:3 (ASV)
3 and Joanna the wife of Chuzas Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who ministered unto them of their substance

John 7:12 (NLT)
12 There was a lot of grumbling about him among the crowds. Some argued, “He’s a good man,” but others said, “He’s nothing but a fraud who deceives the people.”


People. Ridicule and criticize what they don't understand. You may mean well. But you're. Indirectly sowing wrong seed in the heart of brethren against their pastors if they become rich . You are advertising your own ministry while you put others down. As much as you meant well it's only God who knows the intent of mans heart . You run the risk of judging wrongly . That's why it's better to focus on preaching to sinners and not to be a supervisor of another mans ministry. Leave judgement to God .


1 Corinthians 4:5 (KJV Strong's)
5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.

Boss I know an average pastor has an exploitative tendency but tithing transcends religion,it's spiritual.Remember the Law of Sacrifice?

Op, if you have a calling, focus on it, likewise every minister have their calling, some are called to preach salvation, some deliverance, some prosperity, some are called to teach and unravel hidden mysteries of God

Don't condemn anyone, focus on your own calling.
