Re: Prosperity is not the only reason to give
Some say if you do not believe the Prosperity doctrine then what is your's the poverty doctrine.
No! My problem with the prosperity doctrine as it is preached!
You need to sow your way to health, prosperity and happiness.
I would have more respect for this doctrine if the ministry asked you to sow your seed into another ministry.
It is self advancement for the ministry for someone to tell you to sow to their ministry for your miracle.
God does want us to be happy, prosperious and healthy.
It is not tied to the money we put in the plate.
With the illness we have lived through with our son.
I would have given everything I had to see him healthy.
I have paid out of my pocket with the best insurance.
OVer $150,000.00 in the past 4 years.
He had to go out of state for the Bone Marrow Transplant.
We did it without fundraisers, donations etc.
We did it by faith, we did not send in a seed to Benny Hinn, Joel Osteen or Kenneth Copeland.
We got on our knee's and asked the Lord for direction and hope.
We then got into the understanding of the treatments and at each stage we shared our faith with the doctor's and the support staff.
We shared Christ and our faith.
That is where the miracles of his treatment, continued life and healings have come.
I do not understand, these same ministers tell us all we have to do is believe for the greatest miracle of all....Salvation.
But for continued miracles and happiness we have to produce works of giving money...
It makes no sense and is a doctrine of self advancement.
It the church were to take each seed sown in this manner and then paid it forward 100% into the lives of those in need.
Then the idea of seed would work.
In most cases we have no idea where this faith money is used...
