Prosperity Gospel vs The Gospel (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798224013500)

Prosperity Gospel vs The Gospel

Sweety foods are tasty at the glands. It feels good to have it in the mouth. However, as these delicacies, flavoured with salts, sugars, colorings, Preservatives, acids, artificial additives and fats get into our stomachs, and finally absorbed in the bloodstream, they end up costing us dearly, through life threatening diseases, or even death.

Herbs and fibre rich food on the other hand are bitter and tasteless. However, as they get absorbed into our bodies, they rejuvenate our body cells, clearing every trace of infection. This is occasioned by their possession of healing properties and nutritional value. They do not only boost vitality. Rather, they promote our health as well.

This is exactly what happens when we consume prosperity gospel stuff. Prosperity gospel is sweet to the ear, and appealing to the eye. However, the effects are disastrous. Prosperity gospel does not only malnourish the Spirit man. Rather, it kills him altogether.

Prosperity gospel is so popular. It is the most sought product at the market today. It sells like hot cakes. This is contrary to the true gospel that is shunned, hence, fulfilling the scripture in 2 Timothy 4: 3-4. "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables." (nkjv)

'Prosperity gospel' depicts itself as The Gospel, though in actual sense it is not. Beneath it lies deception that is not noticeable. The spiritual venom concealed in prosperity gospel is highly dangerous. It slowly consumes its recipient's soul, and eventually kills it.

This book aims at unveiling this flawed and mega deception, and attempt to separate the lie from the Truth.
