A LOT OF PEOPLE TRY TO GET RICH FROM PREACHING (3138 hits)


ENRICHMENTS FROM THE WORD:
True ministry has only sincere messengers of God...

God forbid! The world is full of preachers and ministers. Many plaque churches and religions to gain riches from their followers. They plaque heavily to gain a huge and large following and they plague to have the large sums of money only in preaching to get rich. They plague using God's word for their glory.

The controversy involved in many ministries such as those with "power of the dollar" is setting in their means on a soft bed for their own living conditions where God's word can bring them earthly gain. They take the word to many times-- "foolish" crowds of followers who'll believe anything they say is from God's Word. But, if you'll only take a moment to examine their cause it will not take long to figure out just what they are leading them to. Most, have a very clever disguise that in they want your goodwill for your souls & if they give them donations, which they use to fill their own pockets. Some of them will go to the extreme to say they will save you if you believe in them. God forbid! They have the mouths of lions! They are armed and ready to send anyone number of people away from God just only for the power of money, wealth and fame.

True believers will need to be always alert of such teachings and followings. Our messages should teach God's commandments and laws and we should know our real savior is Jesus Christ. If a true believer knows God he will know God's Word. God's Word is truth and his message is obedience to him. God's Word is like sweet perfume because following God messages will lead to a better life. God thinks of his followers as a sweet perfume as well, because he tell us of his Son, Jesus Christ. Truth in the message of God is that you follow him and not men who want gain and fame because they tell of his message. "They are robbers of the Word." Ministry is to spread knowledge of God, and the message is to bring them people to knowing there is only one God. He is the witness of the Word. God is the one to be exalted!

True believers should study the Word so they will know "The Messenger" and 'The Message" is from God.

No one really has what it takes to do this work.
A lot of people try to get rich from preaching God's message.
But we are God's sincere messengers, and by the power of
Christ we speak our message with God as our witness.
[New Contemporary English Version ]
[2 Corinthians 16b-17]

HOw can you distinquish one from the other, when they all seem to follow the same format. It sometimes remind me of the game "Simon Says". Touch your neighbor and say this, turn to your neighbor and say that. What really takes the cake is at the end of the program, your asked to say the prayer of faith. Why is it that the minister will request you to call and let someone know that you have said it? God would know if you said it, wouldn't he(smile).

Hello to All,

None of them is worth anything since none of them is right. Christianity is not Black America’s religion. Christianity is the religion of the European gentiles. Judaism is the religion of the Jewish people. Islam is the religion of the Arabian people. Life is to religion of Black Americans. Am I making any sense?

What say any of you?

Miisrael....this is a good blog that I hope many Christians on BIA take notice. Many of these preachers are merely businessmen or businesswomen out to make a buck. Awareness of this being a problem is only half the problem....The other half is distinguishing the sincere preachers from the pretenders.

Thank you all for comments...

I tend to agree with Jamal's statement that one should be alert and aware of distinguishing sincere preachers. It's so easy to be fooled, I feel it's important to study and know God's commandments and words. If the knowledge of the Word is increased one is less likely to fall into hands of preachers who seek only to make money.

All of you made pertinent points that a person should be aware of preachers who are all about the money.

Thanks again.
