It appears that most people who have itching ears often avoid topics like these ones.

We are truly in the last days.

@Frosbel,
take a chill pill.
You posted a topic and because 24 mins after there was no response, you started another tirade.
A number of people read using their phones, they might not have been able to watch the video.
Just try and be selfless.
It is not every topic that you might get a response but it doesn't mean people did not visit it.
Do you pray for people to be touched when you make an opening post to preach or you do it to prove a point? Please do the former.

Snowwy, I am not looking for responses for all the videos I post, I was just saying that people from my experience on Nairaland tend to avoid articles on holy living etc etc but jump onto controversial threads.

No big deal.

No. God is man's own worst enemy.

I don't know who wrote the funny script for the old woman to read. It's really funny.

Why would some people believe that wellbeing is of the devil. She stated she used to know a woman who used to dress in modesty but after the woman began to attend Joyce Meyers meeting she changed in appearance and even wore mink coat ! , for Gods sake, what has that Got to do with salvation, is God against prosperity? Would she had prefers the woman in poverty, if someone discovered other benefit of salvation,like prosperity and healing and dominion, is it not success, does that stop her prayers ?

I agree. Prosperity is not the problem. The narrator said the woman became arrogant in her prosperity. That's the main issue. Some people simply cannot handle wealth and are better off staying away from it. I know a pastor who became reluctant to preach messages on prosperity because as members began to prosper, they stopped showing up in church or reduced their committment. They remembered to play golf on sunday mornings when they ought to be in church. On the other hand, one could still be arrogant or have other terrible habits even when poor. Anybody that thinks that the poor are holier has not met many poor people. Some of the most wicked peeople are poor, while some of the nicest people are rich. I have noticed that both poverty and prosperity can destroy or enhance one's faith. Extolling the virtues of one and demonizing the other is not a fruitful pursuit.

Probably, his message wasn't balanced . If they believe the prosperity part and they prospered,they will believe " not to forsake the assembly" also if he teaches it.

That's true, one of the reason for delay in certain people lives is because of their unpreparedness to handle the next level
I agree

Young man a balanced message in what sense ?

Why are you so hell bent on spreading these your false doctrines,  be careful that you are on the right side of GOD.

Many of us here have very good jobs, but it means nothing in the sense that the emphasis is on JESUS and not prosperity.

If we were to take prosperity as a measure of God's blessings on his children then that is a real shame because much of the wealth is in the hands of the wicked.

The emphasis in the new testament is richness towards God , hunger and thirst after righteousness, eschewing evil and clinging to that which is good, hating even the garment spotted the flesh, keeping oneself unspotted from the world.

THIS IS THE EMPHASIS in the NEW TESTAMENT.

For false teachers and prophets, they must add to the word of GOD , they are not satisfied with JESUS.

Paul counted ALL things but DUNG that he might WIN the excellency of Knowledge of Jesus Christ.

What is all this hogwash next level junk about. where does it mention next level in the BIBLE ?

Except and I hope what you mean is the next level to pleasing GOD, next level in LOVING God, next level in HOLINESS, next level in not loving this world or the things in this world.


You see the problem with false teachers and their flock is that they have no interest in overcoming sin, they have no interest in crucifying the flesh, they want one leg in the church and one in the world, in essence a harlot church.


To the Church in Laodicea :Revelation 3:

14 “To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation.
15 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other!
16 So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.
17[b] You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and unclothed. [/b]
18[b] I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful unclothedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.[/b]

19 Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent.
20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.

21 To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne.
22 Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”

Obviously she wrote it and read it herself, she is not exactly a young lady.

The script is funny to you because your interest is not in pleasing God but in pleasing MAN and pleasing the FLESH.

But I am going to WARN you stop deceiving God's children, because God himself will fight against you if you continue to feed this poison to unsuspecting children of GOD.

You seem to have no interest in God's call for us all to be Holy and live if possible at peace with all men.

Be careful , you are treading in dangerous ground.
