Here is an issue that needs to be addressed because it is prevalent in Africa.
True: Some churchgoers believe in the “prosperity gospel.”
It is true that many people who think that they are going to a good church go to a church that teaches that if they give their money to the church, they will become prosperous and wealthy. Some of these churches teach that their givers will be healed from infirmities. What is true is that the people who attend these “health and wealth” churches are deceived.
Not true: Giving to churches who teach the prosperity gospel will make you rich.
The “prosperity gospel” is taught especially in Winners’ Chapels or the Living Faith Church Worldwide. Winners’ Chapels began with one man in Nigeria, and have spread to the USA and throughout the world. They are charismatic churches that teach that the more a member gives financially, the wealthier he will become. Many attend Winners’ Chapels because they are exciting. The preaching promises health and wealth, the singing is rousing, and their praying anticipates immediate answers. Their services are like big pep rallies and the attendees enjoy them. The problem is that these services are deceiving. These churches do not deliver what they promise. They do not, and cannot, give wealth, nor health.
Therefore:
Do not be deceived. Going to a Winners’ Chapel or any other church that has similar teaching will not make you healthy and wealthy. Beware of this kind of teaching.
