It's stupid to think because you re a Christian you cany6be prosperous,infact Jesus said that I have come that thou mayest prosper in every way. Have you heard what Tyler Perry did during the hurricane that happened in Bahamas?? Without prosperity you can't serve God better Qed. Be happy in your poverty. The only problem is that you don't chase prosperity, when you chase God n do all worship him truly prosperity will chase you n you will get anything you ask.

Amumaigwe:
And in your wisdom, one of the ways to chase God is through sowing of seeds and tithing? Please any body let verses to buttress?

Who is fooling who? The church in Africa was once described as the author of poverty, all of a sudden nobody dares describe the poor as "church rats"
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.

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.

Look at our societies? In contrast to the least religious Nations like China, Sweden, Czech Republic, Azerbaijan & Japan?

A reflection of our corrupted values. Distrust, Dishonesty, Vanity, Hypocrisy, Intolerance & Sheer Wickedness.

God exist and answers prayer - and we keep going from frypan to fire?

And you are still hellbent on enriching these mindless Pastors & G.Os propagating the same lies that were used to enslave your progenitors through a book riddled with so much errors, lies, fairy tales & contradictions - and which is systematically being updated through the introduction of newer versions (NIV, NKJV, NLT).

I would rather believe Mark Twain's quote than all the nonsense lies fabricated by the Roman Catholic Church during the "Council of Nicaea in 325AD" to extort money from their gullible followers worldwide while keeping them under perpetual control.

For the umpteenth time, I reiterate my stance that - If there's any God sitting on a 24karat-gold throne anywhere in the sky, surrounded by 24 jobless elders, shouting Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna - from morning till night everyday, and he wants my money in form of tithes & seed offerings, then let the bastard come down in the company of his Angelic host and collect it from me - face to face!

There was a time on nairaland when christains trolled every single islamic thread telling them that they are going to hell and blah blah blah. That measure was put in place to reduce that occurence.

We need to tolerate each other's religion if we want to be great as a country but some christains are too judgemental.

Just so u know, I am a christain

Angelfrost:
Wrong!!! Everything concerns God with prosperity. That was why he created every human being.

The principles of prosperity are not man-made, they abound in the form of knowledge and ideas created for all mankind... The issue is that only a select few actually tap deep enough into their inherent wealth of money making knowledge.

stancydg:
Your answer is as stated in Psalm14. Make sure to read the amplified. Despite it all, God still loves you.

PrecisionFx:
""Everything concerns God with prosperity. That was why he created every human being.""

Which God are u talking about? Because making money wasn't the reason Hindu, Christian or Islamic God's created mankind.




""The issue is that only a select few""

And u selected dem
Chill nwokem, Once u work towards wealth using ur own preferred understanding n work hard, u will get it. It doesn't concern God

Angelfrost:
If it's not a select few (or few, if select doesn't sit well with you), then why are there more poor and wretched people than wealthy across the universe?...

If God didn't create us all to prosper (of which making money is just one of the aspects), then why did He?... Why is there an inherent hunger in man to survive and succeed?...

If it doesn't concern God, then why did he or would he create you with the "understanding" you choose to prefer and equally brag about?...

We can do this all evening sir... But, at the end, we still arrive at the point that the there is a definite end to all things.

salt1:
At the bolded. I don't think it's the same God that we worship!
So the measure of your relationship with God is how prosperity is chasing you and how you get whatever you want?
When will Nigerian Christians learn to read the Bible by themselves? We worship God because that's the right thing to do, not that we are after what we can get from Him.

PrecisionFx:
If God really created us all to prosper, then why is it that a few people on earth and enjoying while the remaining billions are suffering in poverty?

henryhemon:
It maybe cuz of different reasons...some of them have their hand soiled, not everyone who made money has Gods blessings, 2. God chooses to bless whomever he wants to. 3. You need to know how to receive your own blessings. Everything is worked out,nothing happens by chance.

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.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beayvbtHFyw

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.
