GOD is not against anyone being rich or wealthy, but is it everyone that can handle a government office like Daniel? Ignore their wealth and trusted GOD like Abraham? Ignore their wealth and serves GOD wholeheartedly like Job?

Is it everyone that can love, trust and rely on GOD regardless of their power, wealth and fame as David? Or able to keep focus on GOD despite being used by GOD like Moses? Or fervent as Elijah?

When a minister preaches more about prosperity and blessings than salvation and encouragement to the members, all just in order to keep them coming to church, as this is what many even love, some things are bound to happen.

Some members, who are not so strong enough to bear not being successful yet might make a move of going too faster than GOD to get what they needed from the world and come back to despise GOD and His timing.

Some who are not able to withstand the pressure of not being successful yet might return from walking with GOD because others will now have eyes on them that they are not yet children of GOD due to their situation.

Some members who are not so strong might have no choice than to walk away and even forget about trying to please anybody including GOD and go join anything just to get what the pastor always preach about.

Some might keep going to that church but in depression knowing they're yet to be favoured like these other people, and then, when their heart is forced to focus on their problems, they begin to lose focus on CHRIST JESUS.

Some members might be forced to mingle with the world and worldliness, doing that which is abominable just to meet up with the standard of the minister's preaching but dying inside knowing they got these through the wrong means.

Now, what do you think GOD meant when he said these:

Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD. Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah:23:1-2

Do you think GOD was joking? NO. GOD never joke for He is full of authority too strong to make any word in jest. For this is why our LORD JESUS CHRIST warned about crave for wealth and getting lost in it:

Luke 21:34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

Do not be afraid to tell the people the truth about JESUS CHRIST and the Kingdom of GOD and the peace in waiting upon GOD. Do not fear anyone when it comes to the Word of GOD as you may end up mincing words and mislead many.

Think about it.
Preach Salvation.
Do the right thing.

GOD bless us all.

Amen.

God wants us to prosper. Actually God has prospered us right from the beginning. Any way come buy your kids Educational Tablets.

If you are above 30 and still waiting for what Bible say or your pastor, your long way to go is far more than Kufuki land

Prosperity should be emphasized at all time because it is the real deal. If you are poor, you won't enjoy life to the fullest and you will always feel miserable and it could make you unable to attain your full potentials.
On the other hand, Salvation is a scam. It makes no sense to believe that a fictitious character somewhere died for your sins. You and I are to face the consequences of our actions rather than waiting for one paper character to help us and forgive us of mistakes we do.

In a country like Nigeria which is the Capital Poverty of the Planet Earth, Prosperity Should be well emphasized above mythical salvation. Teach the people how to make wealth in a legit way. This will reduce crime rate.

The Pastorpreours aka Hushpapas will not agree with you......

1 Timothy 6:6-10
6. But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it.
8. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that.
9. Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction.
10. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
