WEALTHY PREACHERS
Today’s Prosperity Wealth And Rich Church Leaders Were Shaped By Fleshly Greed:
Apostle James R, Winfree, Sr, I Am Mandated By The Lord To Cultivate, Enlighten, Empower, God's Nations Son's And Daughters In His Love. Know this, I'm Not in the Work or Ministry For Any Income, But I am in God's Work and Ministry to hear Him say, Well Done, this is the Income I am looking to receive.
ONLY JESUS CHRIST SAVES!!!
( Thank you All for standing with me in this labor of love and faith! )
Acts 20:35
I have shown you in every way, by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ Jesus here was teaching His chosen disciples to become just like Himself A Giver.
Yet it was in religious men and women, with their focus on immediate spiritual gifts and the power of God to confer favor and wellness immediately, that the prosperity gospel as we know it today took hold. The “Word of Flesh” movement, a self-interest and selfish version of New Thought that saw positive affirmation as central to financial and material success became more prominent. Figures like Kenneth Hagin, his protégé Kenneth Copeland, Oral Roberts, and, of course, Osteen himself built up individual followings:
Ephesians 2:12
that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. Spiritual Israel, as well as Spiritual Gentiles, should be equal in God's blessings and wealth.
Central to the prosperity preachers was the idea of tithing or giving money to the Church, ideally, one's “first fruits that were just for the Hebrews only and, not the Gentile Nations.”, or initial earnings. This money, many prosperity preachers promised, was an investment. By showing faith, parishioners could have a “hundredfold” return on their investment, a reference to a verse in the Gospel of Mark about those who suffer for Christ receiving a hundredfold what they have lost. Thus could Ken Copeland write in his Laws of Prosperity, "Do you want a hundredfold return on your money? Give and let God multiply it back to you. No bank in the world offers this kind of return! Praise the Lord!” In this mentality, tithing is a financially responsible thing to do. It’s a show of faith and a shrewd investment alike, a wager on the idea that God acts in the here and now to reward those with both faith and a sufficiently developed work ethic.
2 Corinthians 9:12
The administration of this service not only supplies the needs of the Saints but also is abounding through many thanksgivings to God, This Church money and sharing is for those in the faith that have needs, and not just for preachers.
There are “Well-to-do” preachers, there are rich preachers and then there are Obscenely wealthy preachers. I want to talk about all of them but with a focus on the obscenely wealthy pastors who seem to get the most attention. I want to discuss and explore whether or not these men and women of God deliberately prey on the poor and the gullible to ensure wealth, power, and dominance in the church and community, and neighborhoods.
. I grew up hearing the phrase “pimps in the pulpit” to describe predatory preachers who simply were less than forthcoming when it came to behaving in a trustworthy and honest manner. I know that I am putting the spotlight on high-profile pastors, some of whom have had trouble with the law, personal tragedies, and another fall from grace) because they are high profile. I’ve followed pastors for years. Let me share my fundamental belief about men and women who hold these positions: Just to name a few of religious ones such as Kenneth Copeland $ 760 + million, Pat Robertson $ 500+ Million, Benny Hinn $ 60+ million, Joel Osteen $ 40+million, Creflo Dollar $ 27+ million, Rick Warren $ 25+ million, Franklin Graham $ 25+ million, T.D.Jakes $ 18 + million, Joyce Meyer $ 10+million. Juanita $ 10million +, Cindy Trimm 15 million +, David Oyedepo $ 150 million +
I never was that good in math, but you math people give us an estimate of these numbers, please?
Romans 8:17
and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer from Him, that we may also be glorified together. Jesus Christ made us His Church equal with His blessings and wealth, Why not today's religious leaders do the same?
Many pastors honestly believe they are doing the work of God
Most pastors will never be famous and that’s OK with them
Many preachers entered the ministry to change the world and touch the masses in a positive way
Some preachers stumble along the way through no fault of their own and end up in a dark place they can’t often escape
Many churchgoers have been culturally conditioned to believe whatever their preacher tells them and that doing so will get them closer to God
Many preachers learned early on that they have a “gift” to get people to follow them
Some preachers are jealous, thin-skinned egomaniacs who care about what is said about them
Many preachers feel pressure to perform and to outperform their peers
2 Corinthians 8:14
But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may supply their lack, that their abundance also may supply your lack, that there may be equality. What today's Church leaders are teaching this, do you know any, please let us know, please?
Central to the prosperity preachers was the idea of tithing or giving money to the church religious buildings, ideally one's “first fruits”, or initial earnings. This money, many prosperity preachers promised, was an investment. By showing faith, members could have a “hundredfold” return on their investment, a reference to a verse in the Gospel of Mark about those who suffer for Christ receiving a hundredfold what they have lost.

distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality. Everything God done and did was for His chosen people Israel, His blessings, protection, and Kingdom wealth, and everything Jesus done and did was for His called-out ones, His Church, His blessings, His protection, His wealth, and heaven itself is for and to All of God's sons and daughters. Get It, you preachers? Amen.
