Christian prophecy for the church and for the nations from a servant of God called to speak God’s word

The gospel of bling bling – Creflo Dollar – get rich quick

There is an interesting video here on word faith, seed faith and the prosperity gospel:   Creflo Dollar has some pad, not to mention some cheek!

I heard an interesting comment yesterday. A church leader has an expensive mortgage taken out on his church property. Although he dislikes the prosperity message, he said: ‘If I preach the simple gospel, the people will not come and I will not be able to afford to repay the mortgage.  But if I preach the prosperity message, the people will come and I get many bottoms on seats and enough offerings to pay all the bills.’

One has to ask him then, what is the point of having a church at all if he has to compromise and/or even apostasise and cannot preach the true God-pleasing gospel but a pagan man pleasing one? Surely his focus should be on Jesus anyway, and winning true disciples, to be spiritual minded and servants- not focussed on how many greedy, worldly minded, unspiritual, money obsessed, self absorbed, selfish, undiscipled people fill his seats.

‘Seek ye first the Kingdom of God….then all the things you need [not necessarily want] will be given to you. Don’t worry about or run after them like the pagans do.’ said Jesus.

I John 2:15-17  Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world—the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever.

I John 3:17  If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him?

  1. It doesn’t get any clearer than this:

    I Timothy 6:3-12
    3If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
    4He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
    5Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
    6But godliness with contentment is great gain.
    7For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
    8And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
    9But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
    10For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
    11But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
    12Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

    Fayetteville — The Georgia Department of Agriculture is investigating the treatment of horses on Fayette County property owned by Atlanta-area televangelist the Rev. Creflo Dollar, who doesn’t own the horses.

    A family friend, Jason Mitchell, bought the horses, saying they would be kept on Dollar’s property.

    Records show the horses had no water or dirty water, weren’t fed properly and had body weights dropping to dangerous levels.

    State inspectors say one of the horses died because the owners failed to feed it and several other horses. Mitchell has been cited for inhumane treatment of animals.

    A spokesman for Dollar says the minister was not involved in their care.

  3. Shame the state seem to be more concerned about the horses than the people he spiritually abuses, starves and fleeces.

  4. Let’s be fair! You cannot blame Creflo Dollar for what somebody has done or is doing! It’s not Creflo’s horses! That is dishonest!

  5. I wasn’t blaming him. I don’t know the circumstances and what he knew or did not know contributing to the neglect.

    Nor was the article blaming Dollar.

    Nothing dishonest was said or stated, Barry. You have jumped to conclusions.
