    One thing to …
    One thing to remember is that money is a tool, and as Christ followers God will place us in places of influence such as Daniel and his acquaintances to lead nations. Money is a very powerful tool and God wants to bless us. He never sends us on a mission without the appropriate tools. This, but, doesn’t mean we should be stupid with our money, nor does it mean we should idolise it and for it.
    Allow our money to work for us, not us working for our money.

    Job 24:2 Some remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and feed thereof.
    Job 24:13 They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.
    Job 24:16 In the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light.
    Job 24:17 For the morning is to them even as the shadow of death: if one know them, they are in the terrors of the shadow of death.

    Blessed is what we …
    Blessed is what we are, God wants us to grow in our salvation until the day of Christ Jesus ready to give an account of ourselves not each other. So, life well off financially is not going to be without trials and tribulations, God is concerned about how you are not what you have. You could manage money well and have more for life now, but the rich young guy had to give it away to be exact, there is a test for all kids, for those who eat meat and veggies! (faith)

    My pastor teaches that we are blessed by God to bless those around us. We are blessed with enough food and cars and houses and enough money so that we can give back to those who don’t.

    Do you reflect that some people are blessed and prospered excessively BY God and what is their respomsibility as Christians?

    This man is so right the prosperity Gospel is not the real Gospel

    Money is not the root of evil but da like of it is

  8. BaptistBoi Says:

    That doesn’t …
    That doesn’t necessarily mean “prosperity” as it is taught in many churches! That simply means that God takes care of the NEEDS of His children and not always the wants…there is a difference!!!!!

  9. BaptistBoi Says:

    Well you can’t just …
    Well you can’t just preach that “Melmando” because a excellent Pastor/Preacher will do his or her best to preach from ALL of the Bible!!! I don’t agree with “prosperity preaching,” but its no better to preach just what you listed than it is for some to preach just on prosperity!!! If you are in a ‘right” Bible preaching, teaching, and believing place of worship, you will get a lil bit of everything!!!

    also, watch any of the interviews with Peter Joseph, creater of Zeitgeist and Zeitgeist Addendum. He’s doing a splendid thing.

    All religion is …
    All religion is detramental to humanity. It divides people. Faith is not a valid arguement for anything. Once you start to accept the TRUTH you will start to see lies everywhere. Lies that you couldn’t see before. watch zeitgeist the movie part 1. Concord.

  13. Melmando Says:

    Let’s question Jesus …
    Let’s question Jesus what believers should preach. “Jesus, what should I as a believer should preach while you’re gone?” Jesus “repentance and remission of sins should be preached in my name among all nations beginning at Jerusalem” Luke 24 verse 47 and 48. THAT’S WHAT SHOULD BE PREACHED…NOTHING ELSE…JOEL, CREFLO, JOYCE, LEROY, FRED, KENNETH AND ALL OTHER FAITH PREACHERS.

  17. Rylucero Says:

    Creflo Dollar …
    Creflo Dollar teaches Prosperity theology which is a religious belief that subscribes to the notion that God provides material prosperity for those He favors and that they will be materially successful via divine intervention. This belief exploits its adherents and is given to them to pacify their flesh. This teaching of materialism masquerading as theology is not the purpose of the Gospel.

    Prosperity gospel is no gospel at all man made flesh satisifying doctrine….Its sad because I came out those teachings……………….

    Beware of these …
    Beware of these Fake Prophets such as Joel Osteen who is chief people to hell. He as well as other Fake Prophets are deceitfully diverting peoples trust away from the Word of God and by doing so are themselves on their way to hell. What do Fake Prophets do, they ruin souls, and they themselves will be ruined. (2 Peter 2:3) Question God to expose these wicked prophets with his Word and question for gifts of the Spirit such as Spiritual Discernment to reveal these equipment to your heart!

  21. digitalflava Says:

    You are deceived …
    You are deceived beyond belief if you really believe what you say. None of what you have said here is biblical. Carnal minded; living by sight and not by faith. Judging according to your eyes and not by scripture. A pure lost soul.

    Word of Faith is a …
    Word of Faith is a complete deception and completely unbiblical. Whenever you feel that God is always suppose to bless you with health and wealth, open the book of Job or read about the life of Paul and the other Apostles, their imprisonments, beating, and deaths. Study the excellent men of God who died during the reformation as martyrs. Read Foxes’ Book of Martyrs and learn the millions that have suffered and died for him. Try to believe the Word of Faith/Prosperity garbage after that.

    I feel your frustration man. And although I don’t always agree with how some people call out or point out prosperity gospel. I reflect it is de rigueur. Not that God DOESN’T want to bless us, He in fact DOES. But that is not the only thing God does, He is jealous for us and anything here on this earth that we place as higher value than him, I wish to be ruined or in the least discredited. I believe there is a highly more profound blessing to be had through suffering…but yes God blesses me too
