It is the sign of the last days and devils deception to engage humanity unnecessarily with the mundane things of this earth at the expense of his eternal soul. worse many of the  still the appointed shepherd and have lost their priority, focus and singleness of heart. nevertheless, God will not leave Himself without a witness. Thank God for the faithful and consistent few like Kumuyi and Gbile akanni mong others. but the choice is ours. It is shown unto thee o son of man what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. You have the choice to decide who and what you listen to. but remember, WHAT SHALL IT PROFIT A MAN, IF HE GAINS THE WORLD (OF COURSE IT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR A MAN) BY ALL THE POSPERITY MESSAGES AND LOSES HIS OWN SOUL? THINK ABOUT THAT

Hmm..i wonder too. But as God sed, "touch not my anointed..."

And plus, each church/denomination has got its own God-sent ministry but the common instruction was to go and preach the gospel.....so dis prosperity thing, this "God send down your riches this year", or "The year of prosperity" etc....is just.....well, i can't judge.

 SALVATION - PROSPERITY
salvation is an admission into the blessedness and life of God.this life is a unique life which GOd the creator of all things has reserved for the elect -His children- who belive and completly live according to His dictact.
Now the ernest wish of God is for all to come to acccept Him as Lord and saviour and will have salvation
Salvation in its essence is divine and has prosperity as one of its feature on earth and througt all eternity.
the acceptance of the prosperity package of salvation on earth here is the issue wity many people- however it is optional.
the earth in its original state of creation  was an epitome of prosperity for man and every livivg creature.That was the mind of God and is still HIs mind till date.but sin and corruption is the shadow  of disorderliness today. that does not rule out the fact that some people are actually enjoying the benefit of the prosperity package of salvation and i happen to be one of such.
this only calls for one to go for a comprehensive discovery into the knowledge of salvation.

Who says pastors do nt preach salvation anymore? Thers notin wrong wit preaching properity as our GOD is not a poor GOD.It is wat u do wit the wealth GOD gav u dat matters...D same BIBLE says a poor man has no friend n it is clearly writen  I WISH ABOVE ALL THINGS WE MAY PROSPER N B IN GOOD HEALTH. It also says HE WILL GIVE US MOR WEALTH,TRESURE N FAME. U c dat even GOD himself knows dat it is very important to have money. Its just dat people dnt kno y d money is given to them...As 4d pastors who ride on big cars n live in big houses 4 crying out loud PEOPLE!  These r MEN N WOMEN representing GOD HW do u xpect them 2liv small? ABRAHAM, JOB,DEBORA, DAVID, SOLOMON ETC, wer men who LIVD large. read ur bible wel n u wil kno dat CHRIST requestd 4d best RIDE without spot dat nobody had rode. My dear who wuld want to serve a POOR GOD?THE BIBLE DOES NT CONDEM D POSSESSION OF WEALTH BT BCUS OF D GREAT TENDENCY 2COVETOUSNESS IT IS REGARDED AS DENGEROUS.  MONEY IS GOOD N ANY1 WHO SAYS IT ISNT SHOULD 4EVA EMBRACE POVERTY!

The gospel is not complete if prosperity is not included in the message. If the church is so poor, wealthy men will justify their evil ways of life. But that is not to say that there are not some so called pastors who are nothing but greedy men who see church as a lucrative business. These category of people God will judge.  Y'all must remember that the good book says not all that says lord lord , shall enter into the kingdom and many are called but few are chosen. Were there not twelve disciples, and one of them was a thief.

The crux of the issue is that we are in the end time, you should'nt be suprised this is happening and even more on the increase."...iniquity shall abound and the love of many shall wax cold" we are strongly advised toeek to know more about the truth ourselves than rely solely on whatever you are told or make beliefs.

We all need to seek God more on an individual basis this day. it is key to our survival and eternal hope.

My brother the bible says to guard your heart
You and you alone are responsible for your soul
The same bible says prove all truths and that you should study to show your self approved.
One is only tempted by the desire of ones heart, you will fall for anyone’s words if you have not spent time to seek the truth for yourself.   


Correctly said.

it is no longer news that church business is now one of the fastest growing enterprises in Nigeria today. Pastors are only interested in raking in money to their pockets and they are still not paying taxes despite all the money they make. how do u expect a good bizman to even preach righteouseness in the church when he knows that that will not put money in his pockets. i think the bottom line is that all these pastors are not different 4rm the OBJs, Tafa Baloguns, and Alaiyemeseighas of this world. i mean they are fraudstars and rogues who don,t pay taxes in the name of God. God will surely judge everyone 1 of them


Study the church of the middle ages and you'll find there's nothing new under the sun.

Firstly, our bible make us 2 know dat in d end time many people will come & called them self Christ, can u imaging dat somebody dat is not christ & called his self christ u know he will be preaching abt wat will make people 2 beleive him.Back 2 dat subject : our pastors don't preach salvation again rather it prosperity yes he will do since he know dat people r no more seeking d kingdom of God again rather dey seek prosperity & bible tells us dat seek ye d kingdom of God and his rightousness after dis he will give us wat we need aboundantly but NO, people r not rather dey seek d blessing of dis world dan d kingdom of God.
So we people dat know we r working towards  d kingdom of God lets be wacthful,vigilant & prayerful bcos witout dis we can not get der,but i pray dat NO matter how is it will shall all get 2 HEAVEN in JESUS name.
Mattew 7v21  let us 2 understand dat Not every one dat saith unto me, Lord,Lord,shall enter into d kingdom of heaven;but he dat doeth d will of my father which is in heaven. So do not do wat ur pastor did so dat u will not be judge. Look @ dis bible verse Romans 5:8, 1 john 1:7, john 3:16, pls av ur faith in GOD not In ur PASTOR.Not all pastor r called by God.

Don't blame these 'peddlers' so much. There're only providing a socially required service. people don't like the truth my dear people.

Examples: lie to a girl: she'll believe and follow you. Tell a guy he's going to hit billions: he'll agree to do anything.

Its a social malady and it did'nt start today.

Why this Cheap Generalization??
Some churches still preaches Salvation. Like someone said.....
''If Your church doesn't preach Salvation...Leave.''
It's not in Your power to judge Pastors or Churches.

Who am i to judge any man of God. If any man of God preach prosperity and at the end of the preaching, tells the congregation that you can only achieve properity if you first seek the kingdom of God, i see nothing wrong in that and besides, God wants us to proper. Imagine a church where 89% of the members are poor and the pastor keeps preaching only salvation and not minding whether or not the members proper.
