Is the prosperity message a gospel?

Sadly, the gospel of Jesus Christ of today is unscriptural and against the realities of life. The Lord is presented to the gullible ears as One who wants to give believers all they desire – prosperity, health, fame and power. The preachers don’t give them the full gospel. And a partial gospel is not gospel.

Any Bible-based message that is presented with dressed up material is not the gospel as it is not the real good news we find in the Scriptures. All who hold a Bible in their hands are not evangelists or good news preachers. While the Lord will certainly fulfil the desires of a believer’s heart, the believer desires only the will of God in his life – even if this includes, trials, tests, poverty, illness, hunger, thirst and nakedness.

Indeed, God has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. - Eph 1:1. We are joint-heirs with Christ to every blessing of God and Christ has shared with us unreservedly all that are His. And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; - Rom 8:17. He promises to fulfil all our needs on earth – not all our greeds. Therefore, take no thought, saying, what shall we eat? or, what shall we drink? or, wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles (unbelievers) seek:) for your heavenly Father knows that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. – Matt 6:31-33.

And, he has promised to give us a lot more (really a LOT MORE!) beyond this temporal life. Believers are given abundant life while here on earth – a life of perfect meaning, complete satisfaction and hearty fulfilment – and we look forward to eternal life with Him – a life beyond description. His-story will continue without end.
