it seems popular that lots of pastors focus on prosperity, never the less lets not generalize it cos some still preach salvation, though a few...lets let God do the judging

Truly speakin, it is the order of the day today. Most acclaimed pastors are erectin churchs today cos they have observed that people are chasin prosperity and lookin for miracles here and there. But if we take Jesus Christ as our example, u will see that what is happening is uncalled for, but know this that the prophecies in the bible must be fulfilled and as such, if u have a bible trained conscience what is happenin will not be surprisin at all

they are all rogues. Quoting chief Bola Ige in one of his speeches he said "We are not talking of big business ventures who don't pay tax in the name of God, Thos who when they say, 'Praise the lord,' the 'mean pack the loot'"

My father has been a pastor for over half his life, and he's anything but a rogue. Trust me, as Pastor's kid is concerned, I think I would have known if my dad was keeping all the church money. We have gone without electricity because my father would rather help people with the money than pay his own bills. He has never ever taken a salary. I worked in the church and I know that for a fact!
I am not doubting that some pastor use the wealth for personal gain. However, to define them all as rogues is not fair to those who work hard for their communities, offer scholarships, build schools and health clinics for the community, visit the sick, help the hungry, visit the forgotten in prison, and spread the encouraging gospel to those who desperately need it. There are some great ministers out there that do that.

The Gospel by true Ministers of God is God's messages to His people at any point in History.God is not out of touch with human realities.God is aware of the fact that we still live here on earth.So His messages are aimed at making our lives here worthwhile.Thus,when times are hard economically,his message is that of HOPE.And this is what some of U carnal folks see as prosperity Gospel.The Bible stated it crystal clear that "My wish for you is that you proper & have life abundantly" Now that is God's Prosperity message.

Preachers have not left SALVATION,they still dwell on it.However,they are keeping up with the times.

Now I dont expect all to agree with me.After all,I am not religious.lol

Rather unfortunate about your topic that ur pastor now preach Prosperity instead of Salvation. First every man with his own calling. if u are called by God to preach Prosperity don't venture preaching something else. Also if you are familiar with the bible (Zech. 1:17) Please read it.
Moreover if your church does not change you, kindly change your church. Every one will stand alone on the day of Judgment. Don't try to criticize your pastor (go and ask Aron and Miriam.....)
In conclusion, THERE IS NO LASTING PROSPERITY WITHOUT SALVATION. Don't be deceive everyone prays for prosperity even God's which for you is Prosperity  (3 John2). Repent and Give ur life to Christ. Also ask forgiveness from God and from your Pastor. Take care.

And ye shall serve the Lord thy God, and He shall bless thy bread and thy water and He will take sickness away from the midst of thee....And this book of the law shall not depart from thy mouth, but thou shall meditate therein day and night for then shall thou make thy ways prosper and thou shall have good success...Seek ye first the kingdom of God and its righteousness, and every other thing shall be added unto thee...
Let all men be liar, He will ever remain faithful. take it or not TRUE prosperity is inseparable from righteousness. By the way what shall it profit a man if he succeeded in gaining the whole world (if possible) and loses his own soul? if they are telling you lies tell urself the truth. God's prosperity is kept in His righteousness. make them no tell us lies again, we too get bibles

This is the not the issue of judging anyone, Let the truth be spoken and let people know what God desires and expects of them. Telling people what they want to hear is not just the "TRUTH".

Well its not bad preaching about properity,c we need to understand the scripture,the bible only talks about prosperity in the old testament but in new testament ,the prophet dont said any thing about properity up to an xtend the word prosperity is not been mention in new test..i believe in prosperity,let me tell us,everything walks together 4 good.prosperity is a route to salvatiön. Why ,cos people turns not to believe in God and wait for God appointed time,and rather choose to do blood money. The pastor want them to knw dat God can held.the bible says in Isaiah45v3 "And i will give thee the treasure of darkness,and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that i,the lord,which call thee by thy name,am the God of Isreal.Then my question is, is dat not prosperity.? U need to knw money is a route to all evil,let then convience them to christ b4 the devil took them away frm us.prosperity is not bad but lead to salvation.

A message on salvation has the following results:

reduced membership (all adulterers and fornicators, liars, robbers etc will leave)
reduced offering in the short and long run ( if a legal robber e.g goverment officials hear the message and repent then their tithe and offering will reduce)
difficulty commiting sin ( they will be held to high standard so if they try to chase babe it will cause more trouble)
change of character (some of them are demons at home, so if they keep preaching salvation, how can they defend what they do?)

Prosperity has all the earthly advantages nowwwwwwwwwwwwww. Do you see the suits some of them wear? You can not preach salvation and wear such a suit now, where will you take the offering for that. Read your bible and face the lord on your own first please because on that day, we will all be shocked. Look unto Jesus.

Church is like a food we eat,you know every food can be eaten but some food are better than others,so does church.in my church my pastor preach salvation all the time and always remind us about eternity,when every soul will be rewarded according to his deed on earth weather good or bad.infact change your church if your church can change you and still be on the race for HEAVEN.

  who told u? go to 111 John vs 3 God said i wish above all things that thou mayest prosper...............   so it is clearly written in the new testament but that should not be our only standard of preaching. Salvation first
