'The Abrahamic covenant (Gen. 12, 15, 17, 22) is one of the theological bases of the prosperity gospel. It’s good that prosperity theologians recognize much of Scripture is the record of the fulfillment of the Abrahamic covenant, but it’s bad that they don’t maintain an orthodox view of this covenant. They incorrectly view the inception of the covenant; more significantly, they erroneously view the application of the covenant.

In his book Spreading the Flame (Zondervan, 1992), Edward Pousson stated the prosperity view on the application of the Abrahamic covenant: “Christians are Abraham’s spiritual children and heirs to the blessings of faith. . . . This Abrahamic inheritance is unpacked primarily in terms of material entitlements.” In other words, the prosperity gospel teaches that the primary purpose of the Abrahamic covenant was for God to bless Abraham materially. Since believers are now Abraham’s spiritual children, we have inherited these financial blessings. As Kenneth Copeland wrote in his 1974 book The Laws of Prosperity, “Since God’s covenant has been established and prosperity is a provision of this covenant, you need to realize that prosperity belongs to you now!”

To support this claim, prosperity teachers appeal to Galatians 3:14, which refers to “the blessings of Abraham [that] come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus.” It’s interesting, however, that in their appeals to Galatians 3:14 these teachers ignore the second half of the verse: “that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.” Paul is clearly reminding the Galatians of the spiritual blessing of salvation, not the material blessing of wealth.'

O boy see interpretation in d last paragraph. Teach me more bro i am a seed of Abraham minus his wealth. Hahahaha bro u tight oooo.
God says he gives d power to make wealth. I guess its not for us too

anochuko01:
to some aspect you're so right. I particularly love how pastors can share their testimony of how God blessed them and what they did. however, isn't this just too much? not even the mega rich oyedepo, Adeboye, and co would do this. I mean...I was talking with a teacher in one of THIS pastor's school, the guy said they owe them salaries always.

I dnt know d pastor am defending personally d same way those criticizing him dont know him. But i prefer to defend a man thinking d annointing is upon him and maybe d annointing is not dan criticizing and saying all sorts of things about a man thinking he has no annointing wen eventually d annointing is therw

mcmurphy132:
I weep for you.. worshippers of pastor

Weep for urself because u need d tears more. D bible says blessed are those dat mourn for they shall be comforted. Keep weeping bro it might be ur ministry

TrajansKong:
This right here ^^ is our general African Christian mindset - idolatrous, slavish, materialistic and superstitious. Let us be honest. We can have no place at the Table of Nations with such an overwhelming freight of fools.

Hahahaha bro nigeria pastors pull d highest crowd in UK, USA, canada and recently in indonesia.
Now include those countries too
I am not an african, i came from d lineage of Papa Abraham, and i have d mentality of zion. So u can keep ur African mentality for urself

YelloweWest:
Are you even a Christian??

Why the insults? Maybe that's what your pastor teaches u.

But I have one question, WHERE ANY OF THE SUPER RICH MEN JESUS DINED WITH PASTORS OR PROPHETS??

I asked a question i gues u shud have seen d question mark.
If Jesus dined with dem, it meant dat Jesus acxepted dem and it meant dat they were fit to work in his vineyard and it meant dat they cud also be shepherds
Talk about Abraham and David bro. Tell me how poor they were?

czarr:
I'm sorry sir but you lack wisdom!

If the church members are not living close or above the lifestyle of their pastors then that argument is flawed.

I guess u re wise bro but poor as well. Go and read d cause of poverty in d bible.
If d congregation put d same word they hear to work they will be rich.
Even up to a year of following God himself d disciples couldnt cast out a demon. Was it d fault of d master?

9jakohai:
1.Yes Solomon was rich...and see how his riches turned him away from God.

2.As a Christian no matter wat u preach to me if i cant envision my future to be as successful or as glorious as d preacher, i will not listen
Its too late to listen to d gospel preached by someone who cannot show dat d gospel has blessed his life

Sorry mac, but you are a Mammon worshipper. Mammon is your god. You are no Chirsitan....if the bolded is what you beleive.

So, your criteria for following God is 'visible blessings'? What about inner regeneration? What about leaving sin behind?

No, you want to follow God for the loaves and the fishes. You do not want to follow Jesus.

Lol D word of God said Christ in us d hope of glory, it also says in Job 22 thou shall lay up gold as dust, it also says silver and Gold are mine.
Abraham was mega rich, Isaac, David, Solomon, Jacob, they were all mega rich and we are from dat lineage.
U cant fathom my relationship with God dat is why he prospers my lavishly. I wont listen to d gospel preached by someone who have not put d gospel to work because if u put d word of God to work u will never be poor

YelloweWest:
Abeg park well! The people that brought the gosple to us did they live in such splendor and luxury?

Did Christ our Saviour live as such??

If you are rich why not help the desperately poor around you??

Jesus dinned with super rich men. It was still pharisees like u dat were complaining. Are u from d tribe of sell d oil and help d poor? Ie Judas.
Yes u dat dnt worship pastors and study d bible directly i will still take u to the cleaners anytime anywhere wen it comes to d bible some people like u claim they read

If not because of all d fulani killings i cud have wished him. To get well soon. But Lord if the opposite of Wishing him well is wat u want for him, pls make it quick

willibounce1:
Can this man swear that he didn't use money from offerings and tithe to buy this limo? How can a pastor living like a celeb looking so flashy and oppressing his followers ?

Can u go and do a little research on how many persons attend his church den multiply d number by 5000 average tithe and offering per person and tell me if 10yrs tithe can be enof to live dat type of life.
U guys can all cry foul but am always happy seeing a mega rich pastor because wen they say dat God is good, it shows in their life

mcmurphy132:
and some people will come here and defend dis man when dey cannot afford 3 square meal

Yes i have come to defend him.
Do u know d richest man ever before Jesus was solomon. God's servant.
How do u know dat dis man was not mega rich before he became a pastor?
As a Christian no matter wat u preach to me if i cant envision my future to be as successful or as glorious as d preacher, i will not listen
Its too late to listen to d gospel preached by someone who cannot show dat d gospel has blessed his life

God Bless You for this. Nigeria does not belong to everybody. Yes it cannot belong to Iranian terrorist.

I guess it belongs to ur camel urine drinking brodas in sambisa causing mayhem.
If there is a religion to be banned it shud be sunnis. They are d most cold blooded species in dis country.
I wonder why hatred and terrorism is d foundation of islam

Wish i cud buy a tissue pad or sanitary pad industry. I will print allah all over it so dat once in a while someone can show d idiott where he belongs to.

Bros i love ur passion in naming ur boy Judas. Its not a bad name though.
But Judas Jesus' disciple was stealing from d purse of Jesus which made him available for use by d devil.
Jesus didn't die because someone betrayed him. Even if no one betrayed him, at d appointed time, he could have still died.

I prefer hearing about d love of God and d effect of d death and resurrection of Jesus and d kind of life he has brought to me.
because u wud never be scared of ur father if all u see in his eyes is love. So I am not scared of God because i have a love relationship wit him. Dat is all i need and not d fear of judgment.

Daboomb:
How would we then differentiate between YOU (a child of Light, created in the image of God) ...and the followers of a paedophilic, blood-sucking terrorist whose only fantasy of salvation is the image of 72 Virgins that he will phuck?

You see why you cannot descend to their level?

Children of perdition will always act like one.

Go and read Luke 11:37-54 and tell me how soft Jesus was wen addressing these sons of devils

bamidelee:
bros am not sure you attended a reputable higher institution of learning cos I don't expect you to attack me but attack the questions I posed to you if truly you're sincere with yourself

I didnt go to school at all?
If u dnt need d attack den stick ur nose (where mohammad said dat satan sleeps at night) to ur Islamic threads i will not come there.
And for ur useless questions shove it up ur mouth. because dats d same line all Muslims keep repeating. Thinking they have any relationship with Christianity.
D relationship islam has with Christianity is d same relationship d devil has with God. Light and darkness

hahn:
BUt Satan is better than Jehovah

Jehovah killed many people and still blames the devil for bad things that happen instead of taking responsibility

Every evil that happens is your god's fault because it created the devil knowing it will become evil and kill many people

Don't forget, everything is god's will

Who cares if u defend ur father d devil or not.
Just be bold to answer d son of lucifer.

sarrki:
Good one

Please sire motherless baby homes

Idp camps won't be a bad Idea sir

Godo bless you

And wat shud be his business with idp camps. For those whose fathers and great grand fathers chose to plant d seed of hatred.
Anyway let me sit here and wait for d right hand left hand crew.
God bless u Pst u rep true Christianity

FriendNG:
We cannot determine the future. Until you burn it.

In d South i will burn it and reburn d ashes den beat any mallam dat passes by wen i am burning it.
D only restraining factor is because of my Christian brothers in d north.
Sometimes d way allakubarians boast of violence makes me want to wish dat Christianity empowers violence too. I mean by now everybody cud have remained in their states

hahn:
Jesus is not someone I would take seriously

Nothing he is claimed to have said ever made sense and none of his quotes have helped humanity in any way

Bros dat is wat makes u a confirmed child of satan.
U just displayed a characteristics of children of darkness

hahn:
Jesus will be proud of this comment
Wow

Jesus calls u guys sons of d devil. So i dnt think wat i said is worse dan dat.

bamidelee:
give one biblical verse(s) that's evidencing that Jan Feb March...... is a Christian month
another saying Jesus said if you don't worship me you're going to hell fire
another one where Jesus ordered you to go to Jerusalem and describing to you how to worship there and what to do when you get there
lastly remember the "Sabbath day to keep it holy
what's that "Sabbath day "

Am not here for all those Rubbish ur useless imams teach u. I want d person i quoted to create a special thread where i tackle those scriptures one by one.

One thing u guys dnt understand is dat we have no single relationship with ur pissful islam. Have u asked urself dat upon dso called misunderstanding of d bible bla bla bla no bomb has ever go off in d name of Jesus. Unlike ur terrorism constitution quran.
Allah nkubar my foot

madridguy:
No Muslim will ever burn The Noble Quran so hold your sermon.

Wat of if i burn d quran nko?
Wen they taught u religious tolerance did they tell u dat non Muslims will not provoke ur religion?

madridguy:
Why dragging Islam/Muslim into this?

To teach u guys wat tolerance and peace means.
If it was d terrorist constitution of ur pissful book by now Kaduna will be boiling

Last time one of ur brodas tried bringing d rubbishh to me after dealing with him wit d same bible he was ashamed of ever Meeting me.
Just dat time is Limited u cud have brought up those chapters one by one and i will trash dem.
I implore to create a thread on dat let me open ur blind senses

U need to join a good church and be committed. U may not have to give ur entire time to d church. But d Church would help u grow a lot if u get committed to one dat teaches spiritual growth rather dan d church dat only binds and destroys all d devil in d world
Second is ur personal relationship with God. U can grow that by setting out a particular time frame for prayers, praise and study of God's word. At least 45mins each day can do a lot good

I found God at a very young age, i have seen wat God can make out of a man who truly trusts in him. There were times i was all left alone, God was always encouraging me. Sometimes I look back i cant even explain how i got here. God is truly a loving father and friend.
I am one of those in d world dat would choose death rather being separated from dis relationship i have with God

So my advice God is always very close to u. Just hook up to him

DoctorAlien:
Jesus never harvested corn on the Sabbath, get your facts right. He only allowed His disciples pluck grains TO EAT BECAUSE THEY WERE HUNGRY!

"For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified." Romans 2:13

Rom. 8:3 says Jesus condemned sin(transgression of the law) in the flesh. So, Jesus condemns transgressing the law.

God did not say go to farm on sabath if u re hungry. Stop adding sentiments to d so called law. D instruction is dont work on sabath day period!. A person who defends sin is also guilty of dat sin
U ve been running away from Rom 7:4 abi
Add dis one Philpians 2:9.

Wen u get to heaven and see christians who go to Church on sundays point at dem and ask God to chase dem away because heaven is only made for adventists. Foolish hypocrites
