A house built on sand can never stand. Similarly, a foundation built upon lies will always collapse.

Balaam's donkey that talked in the Bible was the one & only donkey that ever talked - till now since the creation of Earth.

The snake that spoke with Eve in the Bible was the one & only snake that ever spoke - till now since the creation of Earth.

The woman with the issue of blood who was healed by touching the hem of Jesus garment was the only woman that ever got healed via touching - till now since the creation of Earth.

Enoch, Elijah & Jesus were the only beings that ascended into Heaven alive - without the use of rocket or hot air balloon - till now since the creation of Earth.

The Pool of Bethesda in the Bible was the only river visited & troubled every year by an Angel of Yahweh to provoke healing - till now since the creation of Earth.

Shadrach, Meschach and Abednego were the only scribes thrown into a furnace of fire and survived - till now since the creation of Earth. Boko Haram are burning Christians to death in Adamawa, Yobe & Borno States every week but Jesus have refused to turn up.

Paul and Silas in the Bible were the only scribes, while in prison, who prayed and sang praises unto Yahweh, and there was an Earthquake that shook the foundation of the prison - setting them free - till now since the creation of Earth. Lear Sharibu has been in the captivity of Boko Haram for how many years now? In spite of the intercessory prayers offered on her behalf by ALL the church denominations in Nigeria every sunday, yet Yahweh & Jesus have refused to send Angel Michael, Gabriel, Raphael & Uriel to go set her free.

Jesus was the only being who turned water to wine, and then fed 5000 people with 5 loaves of bread & 2 fishes in spite of Jesus saying in John 14: 12 that:

"Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these"

And till now, despite all the faithful believers & church goers, somersaulting inside gutter and using apron to cure H.I.V in Nigeria and the world at large - nobody has been able to supplant the record of Jesus since the creation of Earth.

I still wonder how people reason that because you failed to give GOD ur MONEY, THINGS fell apart for you..

GOD really has to make me understand what he needs our useless Local Currencies for...

What about those who very wealthy, regularly blessed yet they dare not visit any worship centre to donate CASH...? PLEASE who is responsible for their FORTUNE.?
then What about those who have given EVERYTHING, yet God has not replied nor responded..?

For me, this is BROAD DAYLIGHT ROBBERY.
It sounds CRAZY to me.

The prosperity gospel has been a blessing to nearly every community in Nigeria and this is just the beginning. Those who have lost anything for the sake of the gospel either in seed sowing or gifts to the body of Christ will receive abundance in this present world and the world to come.

Bros, it's not your money that moves God to work for you but rather your willingness to give Him what you have. Just like the widows might, she gave all she had which was small in the eyes of men just as you say our useless local currency, but in the eyes of God that will/the thought of giving back to Him is what moves Him to what to do more for you

The prosperity gospel came into Nigeria through Christian literature books from America in the 70s and 80s. Works of our fathers in faith E.W Kenyon and Kenneth Hagin deeply influenced Nigerian men of God such as Benson Idahosa and David Oyedepo. However, men of God like Williams Kumuyi denounced it back then as he was personally influenced by books written by Charles Finney and John Wesley.

Benny Hinn himself is a prosperity gospel preacher. Prosperity gospel in itself is not wrong, but the too much emphasis in it is..

Demzlent:
The news of Benny Hinn’s public rejection and renunciation of the ‘prosperity Gospel’ has been hailed as a watershed moment within Evangelical Christianity.

However, it remains to be seen whether his ‘correction of theology’ will be equally embraced by the multiple prosperity preachers permeating Africa, many of whom regard him as a mentor.

This week, Pastor Benny Hinn admitted the controversial teaching that believers have a right to the blessings of health and wealth through the “sowing of seeds” is actually unbiblical and “an offense to the Holy Spirit”.

Hinn, once known as one of the most aggressive promoters of the Prosperity Gospel, told viewers during a live broadcast: “I don’t want to get to Heaven and be rebuked. I think it’s time we say it like it is: The gospel is not for sale. Healing is not for sale. Prosperity is not for sale.”

His public reversal on the issue comes in the wake of his nephew, Costi Hinn – who once worked and travelled with him – releasing a damning book titled ‘God, Greed, and the (Prosperity) Gospel’.

Costi described working in the ‘Hinn dynasty’ as a fusion of “royal family” flamboyancy and “mafia” secrecy, detailing how money faithfully given to the ministry was squandered on mansions, private jets and fast cars and loyalty cherished above honesty.

However, irrespective of the wide-ranging opinions about Hinn and his legitimacy, his influence in the new generation of African preachers is undeniable.

In recent years, Hinn held several high-profile events with Nigerian Pastor Chris Oyakhilome – also a known proponent of the Prosperity Gospel and faith-healing – the duo even launching a new television network in USA.

He has also held public meetings with Nigerian prosperity preachers Ayo Oritsejafor and Biodun Fatoyinbo (currently in the eye of the storm for multiple accusations of rape and sexual impropriety), Ghanaian Bishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams and Zimbabwean ‘Prophet’ Uebert Angel.

His style of message and ministration can be seen mirrored by charismatic preachers throughout the continent, with the fixation on ‘seed faith’ championed by the likes of Matthew Ashimolowo, Funke Adejumo and David Oyedepo.

A large portion of Pentecostal church services in Africa is usually dedicated to the ‘collection of offerings’ and reports of pastors taking money in exchange for ‘prayers and prophecy’ are rampant.

News and views about the flamboyant lifestyle of African ‘men of God’ dominate gossip sites and social media, with pastors often competing to join ‘the richest list’ as if material assets somehow equalled spiritual validity.

While many African believers have been vocal in their support of Hinn’s announcement on Facebook (albeit some doubting its sincerity), most pastors have been conspicuously silent.

“Nigerian and African ‘pastorprenuers’, Benny Hinn has told you the bitter truth,”opined Otunba Oliseh on Facebook. “Stop collecting illegal money from your Church members!”

“Benny is finally coming to the light! I believe he is watching TB Joshua – one of the only African preachers I know who makes it clear the Gospel is not for sale,”penned Kato Gabakaiwe from Botswana.

Others called on Hinn to back up his ‘repentance’ with ‘restitution’. “If Benny Hinn is genuinely rejecting the prosperity gospel, he needs to do what Zacchaeus did and pay back anyone he has cheated out of their money,”wrote Rich Colon, an African-American, on Twitter.

While Benny’s recent turnaround is indeed commendable, it appears the damage is done to the African church as the manipulative teachings he once championed will not be quickly undone.

There are indeed genuine ministers of the Gospel in Africa but those who prey on the gullible with a focus on financial incentives are likely to be unmoved by Hinn’s remorse, lest their ‘business’ suffers additional loss.

Papyk:
I know you are a pastor, that was why you wrote this trash.How does prosperity preaching a blessing to every community in Nigeria?. Nigeria is the poorest nation next to Yemen. 92 million in Nigeria are poor people out of 200million population. Nigeria is one of the most corrupt country in the world despite the fact that you have almost 1o of those business Centres (CHURCH) in every street. Women are now afraid to spread their pants outside now, thanks to your prosperity preaching. OUT OF TEN RICHEST PASTORS IN WORLD. 7 are from Nigeria which is poorest capital in the world. Jesus Christ had to borrow donkey to travel but The Nigeria GOs with their family CRUISE AROUND with private jet. Jesus Christ feed 5000 people, Today, More than 500000 feed those CON ARTIST you call GO. DO I BLAME THEM? Of course NO. I blame their clients (CHURCH MEMBERS) Who cannot read and understand Bible them self.

Everyone is allowed to comment on Christian threads, but the Islam threads require that I swear an allegiance to Allah and Mohammed. .... even here that is a faceless forum, hypocrisy abounds.

Buliwyf:
You see why I don't trust any pastors? They are all self-serving clowns.

This guy was preaching prosperity all this while and making people fall asleep with anointing on stage. His followers back then we're screaming that he is a great man of God. Now that he has changed, they will change with him too and insist he is still a great man of God.

Yet tomorrow they will claim God does not change and the holy spirit is still the same. So which God was he talking to before now.
