Holding money can reduce stress and even make pain feel less intense.

This is an incomplete assessment of men like E. W. Kenyon, Oral Roberts, Kenneth Hagin, and Kenneth Copeland.

Reducing their ministries to prosperity, “sowing seeds,” and health-and-wealth theology is historically incomplete.

These men also taught extensively on faith, prayer, holiness, consecration, the authority of Scripture, the work of the Holy Spirit, Christian character, healing, evangelism, and ministry.

If you are going to critique a theological stream, you should examine its whole body of teaching, not isolate the teachings you disagree with and treat them as the entirety of the movement.

The same standard should apply to Nigerian Christian traditions.

We can honor the prayer, holiness, and consecration emphasized by men like Babalola and Orimolade without pretending that everything that came through American charismatic Christianity was corruption.

Christianity isn't American or Nigerian.

The standard is Scripture.

So rather than asking, “Was this teaching American or Nigerian?”

Perhaps the better question is:

“Is it biblical?”

You know, the Americans destroyed our faith.

No one loves America more than I do, but when it comes to Christianity, we have allowed them to pollute our waters.

E. W. Kenyon.

Oral Roberts.

Kenneth Copeland.

Kenneth Hagin.

Most of the things that are wrong with our faith in Nigeria today can be traced, largely, to the influence of these men.

The Prosperity Gospel that popularized “sowing seeds” for financial returns, as well as the health-and-wealth doctrine;

the Word of Faith movement that emphasized positive confession, these ideas came largely through these popular American charismatic preachers.

What about the Hypergrace doctrine?

The idea that a believer no longer needs to confess their sins because all possible sins, past, present, and future, are already forgiven?

That stream was popularized by people like Steve McVey and Paul Ellis. Americans.

What am I saying?

I am saying that perhaps the American charismatic tradition is not always the best example for us when it comes to godly ministerial practice.

Interestingly, we had pure apostolic streams locally here.

Babalola. Moses Orimolade. And others.

They emphasized prayer, holiness, consecration, and disciplined Christian living.

That was part of the legacy they passed down, and it contributed to what many consider the golden age of Nigerian Christianity - a time when being a Christian actually meant something.

Now?

Not so much.

So, I am simply saying: perhaps the Americans are not the best examples for us.

Maybe we should look again at the apostles.

When the Corinthian church needed counsel concerning marriage, they wrote to Paul, and Paul taught them freely in return.

Perhaps that is a better template.
