Attend The EPIC BLOGGING Seminar (Jan 29th - 30th, 2016)
I praise God for blessing his servants. However, this survey doesn't portray the whole truth about the subject matter. A man of God like Prophet J.B. Joshua who features in the tenth position here is in fact the richest of Pastors in the world. Here, he may be worth $15000 but he is, as a matter of fact, worth more than all the wealth of the other nine put together. The difference is found in his ''ministry of giving'' I hope that other preachers will emulate TB Joshua in sharing with the less privileged what they receive from God rather than piling up wealth for themselves here on earth.
ReplyDeleteMendi Franco, you may be right but $15 million is still a lot of wealth by all standards. What baffles me most is the source of these wealth by pastors who are not business executives?
ReplyDeleteChai,how come these men of God made this kind of money.?
ReplyDeleteI have no respect for any pastor that has huge amount of monies like these. It's a true saying that Christianity has long become business. Non of these pastors perform any miracles, non of them make cripples work, non of them make blind men around the world see. What a corrupt planet we live really, and you wonder why people don't believe in religion any longer.
ReplyDeleteI like all the money grabbing people listed above to tell me where and what part of the bible did Jesus himself get paid for all the wonderful works he had done.
You all Disgust Me.
Bcos their Father owns everthing...in heaven , on earth and everywhere in between
ReplyDeleteI agree. These are not pastors, but business people. What makes me cranky is that so many people blindly give money to them. They are the snake oil salesman of the church and prey on people's need to believe that they can be rich and 'blessed' by God. Let me ask you why these men in particular have the ear of God? They are just good marketers. If you are dumb enough to give money to them, then I guess you get what you deserve which is nothing. The only ones getting rich out if this is them. A better path to wealth is to get an education, gain experience and then go into business for yourself. Stop thinking that God is going to make you rich cause he ain't. Prosperity doctrine is the lazy person approach to richess based on false hope.
