In Old Testament times there was the constant irritation because of prophets for profit. The same thing can be said about New Testament times because of preachers for profit.
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
Jesus spoke to the apostles about the future in relation to this matter:
Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.
Paul gave Timothy a warning:
1Timothy 6:9-11
But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness.
If any prosperity preachers are reading this, better take a shot of Eno because it won’t go down well. You’ll need some sodium bicarbonate and citric acid.
Think about it.
