Money Hungry Abusive Preachers
This man held up 100 envelopes that he told the people he brought "especially for them." Prior to working his $33 heist, he had already called for a 'love offering" for the speakers and the tithers. Then came the keynote speaker of the evening who was a female, so called "prophetess" and "apostle."
This woman was the last of the evening to collect the fourth offering. It was unbelievable! She had absolutely no shame nor any discernment to sense that the people were "ALL moneyed OUT" from the third offering that the facilitator took right before she was called to the microphone 35 minutes prior. She did not care, she was going to get in on the money action too! The interesting thing to note was that this woman did have a doctrinally sound message, BUT, she revealed her MONEY HUNGRY spirit at the end of her message as she attempted to hype the people to receive a prophecy from her as she called those who could write a $1,000 check and could come and put it in "her" hands. TRICKERY! Witchcraft, and manipulation at its best for the weak and unlearned.
My friend, do not believe the hype! NEVER GIVE YOUR MONEY UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES!! NEVER!!
Many pastors will 'scold' there congregations for their lack of support of their conference ideas that they impose on their follower's and expect them to pay for it. They are upset!!
Naturally speaking, if a person throws a party and invites guest, the guest are not expected to pay for the expense. They did not ask you to have the party. You decided to have the party, so you should pay for it! Can you imagine going to your families Thanksgiving party and after you finish eating that turkey and stuffing, your father goes off on you for not helping him pay for his turkey? The next year your father invites you and your family over again. This time he sends out a special invitation that tells you that there will be a pre-registration fee for all that plan to attend due to the lack of financial support the following year. This sounds crazy right? I do not know about you, but I would be concerned that my father has an unhealthy love of money, rather than a genuine love for fellowship with the family, wouldn’t you? How much more shall we question the motives of those that are charging enormous fees to enter fellowships to hear the Word of God??
It does not matter who does this pre-registration of financial fees, it is
wrong! If the meeting is going to cost you your money before you enter, it has not been called by God. Fellowship of the saints is not like a
worldly concert or a secular business workshop that you register to come
too. These practices are corroding the hearts and minds of God’s people,
tempting them to become merchandisers’ too! We are being seduced to be like, and
act just like the world. Greed, lack of faith, and selfish ambition fuels these
ungodly methods, while disregarding the poor and the brokenhearted that cannot
afford our “symposiums” and conferences. I find it very interesting to note that most of the
“big” preachers are the very ones that have these financial fees and for some,
you will find on their web sites where they tell you the cost of their
conferences as they solicit you to pay for it!
Talk about arrogant! Talk about
greeeeeeedy! It’s your party, YOU PAY FOR IT!
Listen to what Jesus
teaches us in Luke 14:12-14, “When
thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren,
neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbors; lest they also bid thee again, and
recompense be made thee. But when thou makest a feast, call the poor,
the maimed, the lame, the blind: and thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot
recompense thee, for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the
just.”
