    How Prosperity Preachers Hijacked Word Of Faith !

    Chapter Four: Disappointment upon Disappointment upon Disappointment

    After decades of false man-made and, in some cases, demon-inspired prosperity doctrines, those who support these bigger prosperity-based Ministries are still not prospering like the Ministers they give to.

    The givers are still not prospering, as they have been wrongly led to believe they will, through false "Giving to Get" principles and mantras such as "You can have Mercedes-style living, if you will give with Mercedes-style giving."

    Untold multiple thousands who believed in "giving until it hurts" have walked away disappointed and even angry with God because after years of giving they did not prosper as the Ministers wrongly promised.

    This is actually what Jesus was pointing out with the widow giving in all she had. He had just said that the Pharisees devour widows houses (by preaching this same doctrine) and then showed her as an example of a widow they had just devoured because she was following their doctrine of 'give until it hurts...you can be like us..." etc. Jesus exposed their doctrine and it was very similar to some of the things that are taught today.

    2 Cor 8:12 For if the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what one does not have.

    One gives according to what one has. It's confirmed here :

    2 Cor 9:10 Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.

    God supplies us with seed so we can sow. He doesn't ask us to sow what we don't have yet.

    God leads me to support smaller ministries that actually win the lost and make disciples... I know longer listen to or financially support any of the large ministries.

    Some of these guys aren't even going to heaven because they have made idols out of their ministries and that is what they serve first before the Lord... and Jesus said idolators will have their part in the lake o fire.

    It's a sad situation indeed...
