Why are Pastors hammering on Prosperity than Salvation? (Page 9)

Quote from: Saliman on 11-11-2008 10:57 AM

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.

Money is not the root of all evil.  The love of money is the root of all evil.  Big difference.

If you are seeking salvation gospel, please visit www.nlmcanada.com and request for free books.  It is self-help and you can start a home study group to assist others in salvation.  It is free shipping too.

You need to pay your tithing if you wish to become wealthy up to 100th fold as promised in the book of Malachi.

There is nothing wrong with your pastor preaching prosperity.  God is not against wealth and prosperity.  What the pastors are missing that are preaching prosperity is that they are not requiring the wealthy to give to the poor if they want to follow Christ.

Do you remember the story in the bible where a very wealthy young man came to Jesus Christ and wanted to follow Him?  The young man was very proud that he had followed all the commandments laid down by God and Jesus was very proud of him?  Do you remember that Jesus asked him to sell everything and give it away to the poor and then come and follow him?  Do you remember that the rich man was very sad and left because he had much wealth?

This is the story that prompted Jesus Christ to tell us that it was easier for a camel to enter the kingdom of God than a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.

Why not suggest to the pastors this story about Christ and ask them that while they are preaching prosperity, ask each rich and prosperous individual in that church to be responsible for at least one member of the congregation that is poor and to look after that family and nurture them into prosperity.

I doubt if the wealthy in that congregation will stay because to whom much is given, much is required.  How many of them will take on even one family and as they continue to prosper ask them to take on a second family and so forth?  How about getting testimonies from the poor in that church how they are prospering from the wealthy members of that church?

Wealthy people in a church are given money so they can use it to serve God.  Jesus came for the poor and the broken hearted, etc.  If you are called for the prosperity ministry, you must fulfill prosperity ministry as Jesus did.

Suggestion:
Have a box in the church that have all the names of the poor people in the church and ask each wealthy  person to pick up a name from the box without knowing whom or what need, and have them work with that family and bring them into wealth and prosperity.  After that family is completed, the rich and wealthy persons should pick up another name and continue the assistance.  Those that have been helped that have become prosperous should in turn draw from the box and help another family into prosperity.

It is God's desire that we shall all prosper.

Let those that have ears hear what the Spirit is saying.  Try to bring prosperity into your church.  You will have many members and need bigger church if prosperity teaching is done well.

God's blessings to all of you in the Prosperity Ministry.  Do it right.

The pastors are the teacher in the church.  God is the one that will judge them.

Maybe if Pastors let people know that God is a God of wealth and poverty, people will recieve the Gospel.  Many people believe that christians aren't supposed to be wealthy and perhaps the Lord wants His people to know that He is the one who blesses us to make wealth.  No one wants to serve God in poverty when God promises wealth.  I totally agree with letting believers know that poverty is not God's will for His people.  However Preachers should emphasize that it is the blessing of the Lord that maketh rich and adds no sorrow.  And the blessing of each believer is hidden in your assignment-- in order words,God's blessing will begin to overwhelm you if you find out why He created you and begin to operate in your calling.  All other methods of gaining wealth/riches will surely include lots of sorrow.  Stop trying to climb the corporate/academic/business ladder and pursue God's will for your life.  You will be rich beyond measure both physically and spiritually and you'll feel fulfilled.  If you can read this, do not harden your voice.  Repent and ask God to lead you towards the path He created you to take.  God bless you all.

how do u preach the gospel to the whole world if u dont have the money to do it?u ve got to be wealthy to take the gospel to the ends of the earth and God has a principle for prosperity.check the life of Jesus, the man was not poor.he was so wealthy that his roof had to broken for people to lay down a man that needs a miracle from Him.check the lives of his disciples and apostles, all those whose life had no meaning were given a meaning. Check the old testament, all the men that walked with God were made wealthy by God from Abraham,Isaac,jacob,solomon etc. These men walked with God. ask urself,"who am i walking with" God identified himself with all these rich guys. God has a principle and He wants u to be big and wealthy for the sake of the gospel.how do u take the gospel from Nigeria to Asia,America, japan.Caribbean if u dont have the money? I can go on and on to tell u why prosperity is necessary for the gospel to be preached. if u want answers hook up with me for more enlightnment. God did not make a particular people rich and others poor. Find out what God says and do it. stop being foolish and get back to the Bible and get to know Gods principle for these things
