This is a strange and another type of gospel that is not from the New Testament Bible. A gospel that Jesus Christ, his 12 apostles and the early Church did not preach one day. There is no single traditional or historical precedence of this type of gospel anywhere in the entire New Testament Bible or the entire history of the early Christians. This is not the pauline gospel that was preached to the Jews and the Gentiles. This gospel measures spirituality, divine blessings and spiritual growth in the life of a Christian by using money and materialism as the measuring tools and its biblical standards or spiritual requirements.
The pioneers and the proponents of this unbiblical gospel or simply the teachings of the money-minded men or the lovers of money have only one message for their followers, fans, admirers, supporters and givers all over the world of the prosperity gospel. That message is this "you must give, give, give, give, give and give all your tithes and offerings in order for as the giver to enjoy the best financial and material blessings in their life and to stay healthy also.
The gospel targets the finances of the Ignorant, vulnerable, needy, hopeless, desperate, confused, helpless and gullible followers of these unbiblical teachings about money and the material things of life. These followers are caught in this spiritual mess and in the fishing nets of these money-teachers or spiritual-predators who prey on them for their money. These financial cheaters then convert the tithes and offerings of these givers into their own personal use and to establish many money making businesses that they called divine blessings of God
The primary beneficiaries from this type of gospel of money, materialism, lies, lust, greed, deception and manipulations are the so called prosperity preachers or the so called men of God or these money-teachers. The standard yardstick that they use to measure the success of their prosperity gospel is the amount of money and the material things that they have accumulated personally by exploiting their ignorant givers.
If 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; He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof comes envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw yourself. But godliness with contentment is great gain - 1 Timothy 6:3-6.
