The gospel of success is big business in Kenya nowadays.
Almost all preachers; in churches and on television, radio, social media and blogs are preaching about the health and wealth of gospel.

It is big business and believers are going to church every Sunday not to worship and praise, as you would expect, but to check their statements of account and to renew their contractual obligations for the week ahead.
Preachers are teaching the faithful that blessings are financial in nature and all they have to do is believe and they shall receive.
In other words, they make you believe that God will deliver if you enter into a contract with him. Trust and believe and then hold Him to account for His end of the agreement.
But the contractual agreement that you are expected to sign with God is activated by donations and charity.

It's not hard to see why Christians, in their millions, are easily blinded by prosperity gospel. Preachers are 'living testimonies' to what the implied contractual agreements can achieve. They are all 'rich', they drive expensive cars and live in mansions.
They credit this success to what they made God promise to do for them when they committed to work for Him. You can also live like that if you commit to believe and trust.
They are willing to guide you to prosperity but you must be willing to be led. That simply means becoming a regular in church. It means committing yourself to a covenant for potential material gain.

Once they succeed in keeping you in their church, they lock you in. This is a good practice in business. Business people lock-in customers by offering after-sale services.
They don't do this because they care about the benefits that customers will derive from such services but to make these customers continue doing business with them in the future. It is the same thing these churches are doing with the faithful.

Prosperity gospel assumes that being a believer pays handsomely and that wealth is the automatic reward. This is fraud.
It is a fallacy because it implies that poverty is punishment for sin. It is wrong to teach people that once they believe and keep coming to church they will be compensated with wealth.
It is not true that wealth is a right for those who believe. It is also not true that poverty is a product of sin.

Preachers of the wealth gospel will continue being rich. They will continue making money from gullible believers.
Being rich has nothing to do with compensation for what they purport to do for God. Its all about mobilizing donations from millions of Kenyans of little-faith.
They have deliberately distorted the relationship between Man and God for their own good.
They want you to believe that the relationship between God and Man is a give and take relationship.
Nobody can blackmail or force God to grant prosperity through an implied contractual agreement.

Prosperity gospel has led the World astray. It has deformed biblical teachings.
Self-denial is a teaching in the Bible that prosperity gospel has swept under the carpet of financial abundance.
Prosperity preachers seldom teach the doctrine of suffering. Christians are not immune to suffering. It is a tool God uses to get our attention and to accomplish His purposes in our lives.
Jesus warned His disciples that believing in Him and living by His teachings will come at a cost. Christians must suffer. If any preacher does not tell you this fact, then he/she is not worth their salt.

God doesn't do business. He doesn't bargain, He is frank with us. All He requires from us is to believe.
There is no financial compensation for believing. The only promise God has made to those who believe is that they will have eternal life.
If you are looking for financial rewards, get down to work and be honest with yourself. Ignore prosperity preachers.
