WHAT IS YOUR VIEW

[SNR AP/REV SALIMON FOLAKOYE]

People are coming to the churches nowadays because of riches, problems and etc. They do not know who CHRIST his, even when the problems are over. The preachers whose responsibilities to do these are not helping the situation either: they preach prosperity rather than salvation of soul.What is your view?

[James Pierce]

Its heresey.

[Evangelist Altha Fugett]

Their problems are not over, if they do not have a relationship with Christ. Our problems as saints do not end because we have a relationship with Christ, we as saints with that relationship know how to handle our problems and speak victory over them in Christ.

You know I'm not bothered as much by the preachers(they will be judged of God) as I am the followers. We have a personal responsibility to our own soul. As I've said before "If I go to hell it will not be because I was led there"

I believe Prov. 18:1 Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom.

We can learn from anybody, toss out the bad, by staying focus on God. A man teaching only how to gain prosperity, is like a alcoholic telling one to stay off the bottle, there is a lesson in there somewhere, pull it out and leave the garbage

I do not understand saints always in the valley, what witness do you have, if you are always going through.

Paul taught churches that were rich in the benefits of knowing Christ, but they lived beneath those benefits.

This is in no way an absolution of those that are leading folks astray, however it is an admonishment that if you fall short, you only have yourself to blame not those you met along the way

I quite agree with some of your comments but paragraph 2. I think they are the appostles of Christ and need to know that the Bible says "Seek ye first thy kingdom of God and its rightousness and other things shall be added".

[Evangelist Altha Fugett]

Yes, we are to seek first the kingdom of God, however that doesn't mean that before we walk on streets of gold, we can't recieve blessings here.

We put nothing before God's will for us, and what is his will? that we have love, joy, peace, happiness..... and live life abundantly, it is alright to be prosperous, it is not a sin to be prosperous

John 10:10 says

The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I AM come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

However we have to have the right attitude about it

2Cor 1:2

For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward

[SNR AP/REV SALIMON FOLAKOYE]

It is not a sin to be prosperous. The love, joy, peace, prosperity etc must be in Christ our Lord.

[Evangelist Altha Fugett]

Amen!
