Does God truly give wealth to those who sow seeds of blessing?

Dear Editor,

Allow me some space in your widely read newspaper to comment on something which has been bugging me for some time now.

It is the manner most of our men of God have been trying to ‘save’ lost souls or milking them without any sense of shame.

Why is it that today in our churches the emphasis is on sowing seeds (Money) for miracles that never take place?

The truth of the matter is that people or church goers are merely encouraged to substitute laziness with envisaged free handouts from God.

It is no secret that these pastors have taken advantage of desperate individuals seeking easy life to get from them even the little they own with a promise of being blessed abundantly later.

I wish to advise my brothers and sisters that the so-called blessing from sowing the famous seed of opulence will not happen.

I have numerous examples of people who have given away all their hard-earned monies, including pensions to church leaders in the hope of being bless abundantly later but all has come to naught.

Many have died poor and miserable and in their hearts of hearts they must have been blaming God for not answering their prayers.

Look at China which has fewer churches compared to Africa’s, but today has probably the biggest economy in the world not because God loves or hates them but because of their sheer hard work.

Hear me please. God does not have money to dish out to every Jim and Jack through seed sowing programmes because if that was the case, there would have been very few poor Africans in the world today.

When you give your offering, tithe and or any other form of donations to the church, all you are doing is making these so-called men and women of God billionaires for absolutely nothing.

Again let us not be cheated and begin to substitute our laziness for divine blessings. This will not remove away our poverty because God helps those who help themselves first.

I believe many church goers would be shocked if they could comprehend the real attitude their pastors have towards them.

Recently at Janet-Mefferd Show in the US on how pastors get rich, it was reported that many church leaders today see their congregation as farm animals to be milked.

Here in Zambia I challenge anyone to point out a pastor or a prophet who is poor. There is none, for obvious reasons. Let us worN hard first and God will open our eyes and ways to end our poverty, without promised handouts from Him.
