BEWARE OF THE PROSPERITY GOSPEL

Eccl 5:10 He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this [is] also vanity.

Watch out for the Prosperity Gospel.

Did you know Apostle Paul never put emphasis on the Prosperity Gospel that makes rich?

Paul was an inspiring example on how to survive loss and excessive hardship while serving God.

2 Cor 11:24- 27
Of the Jews five times received I forty [stripes] save one.
Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;
[In] journeyings often, [in] perils of waters, [in] perils of robbers, [in] perils by [mine own] countrymen, [in] perils by the heathen, [in] perils in the city, [in] perils in the wilderness, [in] perils in the sea, [in] perils among false brethren;
In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.

If Apostle Paul learned to cope with suffering. What about us? There is no shame of being poor.

Mt 5:3 Blessed [are] the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Neither is there advantage to be rich.

Lk 18:25 For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

There must always be a balance in our lives as believers of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Prosperity Gospel preachers are full of excuses to justify their greed.

Let us be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.

Shalom!
