This is the last I’ll contribute to this prosperity gospel issue.
Last year, I said my last about tongues. Anything anyone wants to believe, it’s fine.
I’m dusting my proverbial feet. So, if you insist prosperity comes with the gospel. Fine.
If you believe being poor is not compatible with the faith, fine.
If you believe wealth is part of the salvation package, fine.
But I’ll tell you all those positions are not found in the New Testament where the gospel was revealed.
You think you’re displaying faith when you say things like, “You all can be poor, me I choose wealth.”
But it’s actually fear. You can’t imagine a world where God alone provided for you.
You can’t imagine a world where you didn’t have money.
How else would you validate that you’re spirit-filled?
If you don’t have money how else would you justify your walk with God?
Those of us who boldly tell the world that both poverty and wealth mean nothing have a higher view of the gospel.
Like the three Hebrews boys, if God saves us, fine. If he doesn’t, fine.
Paul was ready to die to witness in Jerusalem. That’s the level we aspire to.
We pray to God for money daily. But we also publicly declare this so that our faith be strengthened to know how to abound and abase.
But you think God only wants you to abound.
We’ve pointed that Christians being poor means nothing.
We showed you many poor apostles and churches.
We should you the early Christians who were poor but won an empire.
You choose not to acknowledge that.
You think the gospel started with fitted-suit wearing pastors with the latest range rovers in Lagos.
You think the gospel only moves when we can host conferences that cost 47 million naira to organize.
You think the gospel has prevailed when there’s a direct material return.
Do you even know joy? Can you find joy when the vineyard does not produce and the sheep bears no flock?
What about loss? Can you find joy in Christ as your beloved is lowered to the grave and tears fill your eyes?
We are trying to angulate your gaze to Christ only whether there’s money or not but you think we are your enemies?
You’ve been misled by a dominion mandate that simply means financial and societal personal glory and you fight when people point to something higher?
You know what? Prosperity gospel didn’t start here. It started in the US.
It seemed reasonable at the time. But now look at what mammon has done to the body of Christ there.
God has almost left. We are treading that same path.
But God is in charge. He is faithful. We will be here holding His words. When the dust settles, His name will be glorified.
Amen

This is a statement of deep understanding:
Mothers-in-law and wives, love yourself for the sake of one person you both cherish;
Love your daughter-in-law for the sake of your son,
Love your mother-in-law for the sake of your husband.
@services9613 It baffles me. They are both women who love same person but then they have different roles, why can’t they love each other atleast for the sake of that one person they love🤦🏼♀️
