Very well done. This is tragic, demonic, a complete misrepresentation of the gospel of Christ. Having lived in Africa for some time (2005-2006) you see the impact that this US-exported form of religion has firsthand. False promises, disappointment, recklessness and the like are the foundations of this teaching.

How men can rape the poorest of the poor like this is the very heart of darkness.

The man who claimed that God told him to "make sure they give in dollars!"... what can you possibly say?

Thank you for this! It brings a whole new dynamic to the conversation when it's taken to the global scale. We have been having an ongoing dialog about this very subject on our blog and we'd love insight from others who are educated in this area. tinyurl.com/yj32obo

What is the song that begins at 2:45? It's extremely good. And as a whole, the video was incredible.

Incredible and so sad. Thanks for putting this up and making us aware of the prosperity gospel and the damage that is being done outside of America.

Great/sad video.....beautifully shot. The first pastor's white shoes are stellar. Unfortunately, Nordstrom doesn't carry them, but I will keep looking.

Thank you!

Very nicely done Nate, but the preachiness induced something akin to a bad acid flashback :). I must say, I'd never seen a preacher in white lace, but the shoes came close to the sartorial excess of one bloated buffoon I had the great misfortune to see not once, but twice. I'm allergic to most "gospels", the prosperity gospel in particular, and I've always wondered how those who buy into it and fail financially feel - abandoned? It's a cure for one guy's poverty - the one in the shoes.
Keep up the really great work!

The music is production music - no artist that you can buy off the street."

Who produced it?

Anytime someone has added ANYTHING before the word "Gospel", it is no gospel at all. Breaks my heart.

Steve, you are so right. There is only one Gospel and that is the one given to us by Jesus Christ through His infalliable word, the Bible.

Great video! I am currently living and ministering in Africa and have seen first-hand the long term effects and mindset that the prosperity gospel produces. People are "coming to Jesus" not because they have been regenerated or are responding to the grace of God but because they want something for themselves. Now I'm not saying that it's wrong for genuinely poor people to desire to have their physical needs met, but it is absolutely wrong to twist the true gospel so that people respond to get their needs met.

The prosperity "gospel" is one of those "another gospel[s]" that Paul talks about in Gal 1:6-9. It takes the eternal message of Christ and perverts it with a message of immediate, physical, and material blessings. For those who say that desiring and praying for and "craving prosperity is non-negotiable," what about 1 Timothy 6:6-11? They must ignore or twist this passage to continue preaching like they are.

These prosperity preachers are literally robbing from the poor by giving false promises of material blessings which they say are sure to come "if you have enough faith" - a faith which must be evidenced by giving money to these false prophets so they can get rich.

As one born and raised in Nigeria, I can say that this is so true. The prosperity gospel has become mainstream, and many pastors think its okay to change cars every three years while many in their congregation cannot even afford three square meals.
I like your approach, quite objective. Good video.

Many more vids like this are needed!!!!! The message is not only urgent but also well presented, using a first person view that brings you into the action as opposed to... up there. And also, love the contrast between the preacher's leather shoes and the congregation member's thongs. And yet he asked them for more money!!! Disgusting!

Thank you for this.

Great! Long overdue... thanks.
