Any Church leaders who live in multi-million dollar mansions or demand large sums of money from their followers have been corrupted by money and should not be followed.
The preaching of Prosperity Theology is a means of gaining followers by telling them what they want to hear - i.e. that God will make them to be rich and successful - is a scam to make them rich at your expense.
Prosperity Theology is a heresy which directly contradicts the words of Jesus:
"No one can serve two masters.....,
You cannot serve God and wealth." Matthew 6:24 (NRSV)
And it blames the poor and the sick for their own misfortunes in direct contradiction of scripture.
"This was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy." Ezekiel 16:49 (NRSV)
So do not follow these false prophets.
Their teachings do not lead to Salvation.
