Above is picture of Dollar’s house.
Creflo Dollar,Bishop Eddie Long and four other religious ministries are being investigated for alleged financial wrongdoing .
The top Republican on the Senate Finance Committee ,Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa launched the investigation on Monday.
Grassley explained that he is simply following up on complaints from the public and media coverage.And added that the allegations involved governing boards that allow big salaries and housing allowances and amenities such as private jets and Rolls Royces.
Dollar released a statement saying :

that he will comply with the orders and that his church has complied with the IRS for more than a decade. Dollar said his life and ministry have always been an open book.
Here are few pictures of Dollar’s mansion and of Bishop Eddie Long worldly belongings.
Creflo Dollar, Eddie Long, Joyce Meyer, and Paula White are among many other Word-Faith teachers who are deceiving and financially raping thousands of Christians. For those of you who are interested, I’ve written a very detailed article that addresses the false doctrines of the Word-Faith Movement. It can be found at:
http://www.victorstephens.com/victorstephenswebsite_018.htmAlot of poor souls will be disappointed when they find out their hard earned dollars built these mansions…and not 1% went to GOD!
It’s funny. b/c when one tries to throw up the BS flag on one of these churches, why is it that people get so up in arms. These people are crooks, preying on the weak, giving them false hope in order to take their money.
Obviously all of you who are so quick to be up in arms concerning this situation dont have the true concept of true christianity. I’d go as far as to even say you don’t have a personal relationship with Jesus. It is the law of the KINGDOM of God, not the U.S of A to give just 10% of your income to be used to increase the Kingdome of God. Now I look at those above ministries and see the amazing, many times untold works they do in communities and around the world. You complain that members of their congregation are poor but you can’t baby feed people who are not ready for change to recieve help in the way you think it should be given. I’m not rich but I’ll be damned if I’m not going to give to the ministry God has placed me under. I’m not saying all pastors use money legit, but whos to say? and if so….thats between them and God, not man. Regardless of whether these men have used their ministry funds to create business, so what? God is blessing their businesses, bringing in more for their ministries.
Read your bible people, the blessings given to the Jews via Abraham, Isaac and Jacob belong to the children of God through the saving and adopting blood of Jesus Christ. They’re walking in true financial blessing.
Now I do disagree with the way alot of these preachers tell us to give and we’ll recieve a blessing or healing and in that aspect I understand what you mean. But the concept in the Word of God is that when you give to the Lord faithfully, He will increase you faithfully and unfortunately were easily lured into thinking God is a pimp we give well recieve tomorrow and so when it doesnt work, we believe these preachers are conning us. They as men and women never promise us anything, but from the word of God, they preach increase because the Word of God when walked out and not just ‘hoped’ out is so, so real.
why on earth would people become worked up about preachers being wealthy, live in great masnions and all but when a thief, politicians, businessmen live in bigger and better houses nobody bothers.
we should be careful how we accuse God’s servant else we incure God’s wrath upon ourselves.
if one does God’s work faithfuly he is bound to be greatly blessed, abraham, isaac, jacob, david, solomon etc were outrageously blessed beyond measures. david gave 576 dollars for the house of God even though he didn’t build it.
if you find a man of God faking to get rich leave him God is a righteous judge.
We have EVERY RIGHT to be worked up! These pimps are abusing the church for their own greedy reasons! There is nothing wrong with wealth. But there IS something wrong with twisting scripture to get it!
Oy ‘Ve… Who cares what they have. There the ones preaching every day , There the ones traveling to dangerous places and feeding, clothing, etc etc… Some of the poorest nations on earth , Risking their very LIVE’S to do it. I don’t see anyone whom is complaining about the preachers risking their lives etc. Big Deal. I mean when these preachers started out like most , They started out small. Maybe had 10 people attend and give …what ? A buck ??? woohoo. It isn’t the preachers fault that 10,000 – a million people go to their churches or any other type of meeting or trip and they all give a buck. Money adds up. They must be doing something right and telling the truth , All the people that attend the church can’t be decieved duh. It’s called BLESSED. Thats why they attend and give cause they KNOW GOD blesses them for giving . I know it to be true myself. They have staff to pay and people to help . The people who complain about this do not know God. or God’s way or they would be jumpin up and down praising God too.
‘Touch not mine anointed and do my prophets no harm’ ps105:15
‘ I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you’
Watch out how you treat these men of God; You are trading on dangerous grounds
Why do people feel that God’s people should be broke and living in proverty?? Why is it okay for 50 cent, Jay Z, Beyonce and all those other’s secular folks to prosper, but not the ones that are following the will of GOD?? Where in the bible does it talks about God’s people being poor??? When I leave this earth i’m looking forward to my Mansion..I may not have it now, but i’m truly blessed with my health, strength, good job and I owe it all to my God..The bible clearly states whatever you sow will be reaped..These pastor has sown a lot into people lives and they are reaping those benefits..No one knows what they had to go through to get where they are today..To me it sounds like a testimony to me!!!! I will continue to pay my 10% out of each check because that’s in the word..Whatever the church does with that money is on them..I do know this..The sameones that yall are persecuting are the ones feeding the hungry, going to other countries preaching the gospel and opening up youth centers in AMERICA..On the day of judgement God will tell them Job well done my good and faithful servent, but what will he tell you???
If God who made everything that exists is your father, then wealth is just a mere natural result of being faithul to Him. Its also natural that those who are not your brothers and sisters be doubtful and jealous of your prosperity. So I think that everything is going on just as it should; the haters are doing what they do best, and the lovers are doing as is expected of them, prospering. Now I know that I don’t have a mansion yet, no helicopters or a car, but even living in Kenya will not prevent these things from coming my way. I know whom I believe in. Bottom line – just know who you worship and stop thinking about other people’s lives, there’s no time for envy. Life is short!
I also understand how the numbers work. These preachers are business men brothers and sisters. They have tapped into a marketing strategy to make money off of the desire of people who are looking for a way to get out of poverty. A job want do, the government want do. They believe the word will do it just by listen and following them. If they were running a corporation that corporation would make billions, and the shareholder who invest would make a profit also.
No I don’t have a problem with them having a nice home, cars and other wealthy things. But I do have a problem with the method in which they get them.
They are using the word of God as the latest hit. The more people buy into what they are saying the larger the profits is for them.
Be not deceived For God in not marked. Know the spirit of God for yourself, and you will see that what they are doing has already been spoken of.
I’m not impressed with celebrity bishops, preacher, evangelist, gospel singers or any up coming want a be’s.
I know that God Loves me.
I was just sitting here reading some of the most foolish comments that these unbelievers are leaving. In gods word he said above all he wish that we prosper as our soul prosper. If I recall that everybody means preachers to. He also said that my people perish because of the lack of knowledge. So many people will never recieve what god intends for them to have because,they don’t know what gods word said, and you know why they dont know? because they won’t do what creflo,eddie long,joyce meyers,and other great preachers do, study gods word. You people thats on the outside, looking in trying to judge things,when you can’t make good judgements in your own life, need to be careful and keep your mouths off the men and women of god. These men and women of god make great sacrifices to do the will of god for not just there lives, but also for your crazy,ignorant behinds, by praying that god have mercy on you, for you know not what you are doing.Get a life in christ jesus and leave gods chosen one’s alone.
Tell me the mansion that Jesus lived on HERE on EARTH. From what I recall he was not concerned with worldly belongings, but lived to help others. What about Paul, did he live in a million dollar mansion…
I agree that those who commit themselves to GOD will be blessed, but doesn’t the shepherd take care of his flock more than himself. These leaders/individuals may have started off on the track of faith, but have turned somewhere else. Granted “Vengenance is the Lord’s” but in the text of being our brothers keepers, isn’t it our job to educate our sisters/brothers on being good stewards.
as said in his word he blesses those who bless him and curses those who curse him god knows the heart and evryman shall be accountable come judgement day all credit to pastors bishops and teachers of the living word they truly will be dealt with more so so lets let the one true judge cast judgement !
You know it is sad that people would rather see preachers broke busted and doin bad. If Ya wuz close to God like u r suppose to be, U would see things as He sees things. I am sorry, I don’t want no broke pastor, how could you get out of debt if he can’t?
if u would read your bibles correctly, Jesus was not broke. Why would He need a treasurer? I believe it is coming a time when people are going to be greatly deceived about the Truth of Jesus Christ. There is going to bea a great fallin away. All I can say is Have a personal relationship with God.
GOD!! bless you CREFLO Dollar that is real prosperity brother!! dont care about what people say !!
I BELIEVE THE PEOPLE MENTIONED ARE ALL TRUE SERVANTS, OF THE GOD OF ABRAHAM AND PREACH & TEACH ON WEALTH, FAITH AND PROSPERITY, ARE GOOD EXAMPLES & ALL THE PRINCIPALS TAUGHT ARE NUGGETS FROM GOD’S WORD,AND PRODUCE RESULTS,
I AM A BUSINESSMAN WHO STARTED WITH NOTHING AND NOW HAVE AN ABUNDANCE OF WEALTH,I THANKS GOD FOR THESE OBEDIENT AND FAITHFUL MEN & WOMAN
Why should we be mad at these preacher’s for seeking the riches of this world and calling it God’s?
Why should we bash the acts of those who mislead the people of God?
Why do we hate the message of prosperity
I will tell you why; because we are Christians.
If all Christians should be prosperous then what do we tell people in poverty stricken Africa? Do they lack faith?
I have been deep into Kenya and I will tell you first hand that they have a lot more faith than most Americans!
By saying that God’s people should be financially prosperous instead of simply provided ,we place God in a position of displaying favoritism! God loves us all the same! He does not have favorites!!! Money is no more a sign of faith in God than wearing a suit to Church makes you a Pastor.
There are poor people in this world because of greed!!! Truth be told, there are enough rich people in this world to end world hunger and homelessness, but greed is their God. unfortunately, these Pastor’s are paddling in the same boat.
Love must drive the Christian, not possessions!!!
Love is a flame kindled by choice!
We must choose! God’s riches cannot be properly expressed in this world! That is why He said not to store up riches in this world where moth and rust corrupts, but rather store our riches in heaven. That is where my riches are!!!
I will not support lies, and these people are getting rich by selling false hope!!!!
All we can do for them is pray!
I don’t hate the people, just the false message!
Let’s not forget the number of people these ministers have in their congregations but more importantly we can’t judge them. If they are doing wrong, then they will be punished by God. If they come up short with a conviction, then I fell sorry for that Senator.
I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you….says the Word of God.
What would Jesus drive?
It is highly amusing to see people devoted and brainwashed by these idols or false gods. Are there any enlightened individuals out there! If you research the canonnization(putting together of the Bible) of the Bible you will find a wealth of information that these preachers or infallible men of god will never share with you. Information on when the Bible was finally finished; who ordered it to existence; which gospels were chosen; and who actually wrote them. The so-called infallible men of god will not tell you none of this. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, some of the original gospels were not written by them. Mark is called the source closely related to the gospel Q. The real difference is that the gospel of Mark is in a Narrative form, rather than expository(Gospel Q). Also, Mark did not come until 50 to 100 years after Jesus’ death. The other three gospels (Matthew, John, and Luke) are known as synoptic gospels (ask most any preacher about synoptics).
Jesus was never a Christian!
Paul, in Galatians, started Christianity. Furthermore, Christianity started because grown men did not want to get circumcised. Its in your Bible in Galatians the first chapter.
Lastly, religion is a divisive animal that does not bring all together, but only those who choose to follow that mans path of how god only chose him to deliver his message.
God is goodness, Virtuous(empathy, kindness, and brotherhood)
Devil is badness, Vices(envy, greed, bentleys, rolexes, and mansions, in the name of somebody’s god while your brother starves.
It is said that Jesus said “Many are called; but FEW are chosen.” and later, when the purpose for his life was near at hand, asked Pilot, “Who do YOU say I am?” . In other words, who cares what man says. Who do you say I am? Period. Either you believe or you do not. I believe that most preachers start out in the right way and for the right reasons; because they love God. Somehow along the way, the spirit becomes entangled and seduced by the desires of this world instead of the desires of God. They get caught up, losing their focus and way, all the while screaming the virtues of living a God-fearing life filled with the love of money and all of the things creep in the night. The bold ones don’t creep. They are unabashedly open in their lasciviousness. They bring their women into the church, perhaps giving her a salary. Or perhaps he brings his long suppressed need of male companionship under the guise of an armor bearer, that male that takes care ALL of the Pastor’s needs. Perhaps he’s on prescription or street-drugs or is physically and emotionally abusive to his wife or the female pastor to her husband and children.
The bible teaches “There is NOTHING new under the sun”. Jesus has seen it all from before the beginning. What is disheartening is that a great deal of good is being done in this country as well as around the world, whether it is in the store or office front start-up church with a hand full of faithful followers all the way to the mega-churches that have professionally produced multiple sessions each Sunday seeing people in shifts to ensure they collect all that is capable of being gleaned from the masses, as they tell them “Yes, Jesus loves ya!!!! And I do too! Give God the money! Prove that you love God! Do IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
And the sad, the empty, the needy and the hopeless do as instructed, every Sunday, without fail. Yet GOD sees it all. And at the appointed time, GOD will make his judgment know thought this and every land. With out a doubt.
And most of these Prosperity Preachers will be the first to burst HELL wide open. Hopefully, they will be there to greet too many of their followers.
These men are called of God to teach His word. Wealth is in the house of those who walk uprightly, God promises that in the Bible. If Creflo Dollar or these other wealthy ministers didn’t have integrity concerning money, God would make sure they didn’t prosper. God has all kind of ways of doing that.
These men of God who God uses to be a blessing to other people also have businesses on the side which has nothing to do with what church people give to the church. Would it make the critics happy if these men of God just stopped helping and being a blessing to the community and just live lavishly with the money they make just like any other wealthy business man? Critics against men of God who God prospers are so ignorant. You have a problem with that, go complain to God about it. See how that works out for you….sinner.
By the way, I have insider info from back in the year 2000 when Creflo’s monthly tv bill was near 4 million dollars. His monthly electricity bill for the church property was 400,000 dollars. And you think he’s hogging all the money. No way he meets those bills if he didn’t have integrity. Critics need to be honest with themselves, you’re broke because you continually walk in sin and you’re a hater toward those who God blesses because of their obedience to God. That’s reality. Deal with it quietly, instead of running your mouth. You might find yourself getting dealt with by God himself. Learn that.
God told me to give $50 to Kenneth Copeland Ministries (Bro. Dollar’s “spiritual father”) when I had been praying concerning us needing a miracle finding a new house the one we wanted for the money we had…I agreed, but did not have $50-so because of my husband and mine involvment in our local church-the next day-we recieved a check from them as a “Thank you from God, for our faithfulness” etc. WOW!!!God pays for what He orders, Amen? So, I mailed the check we made covenant with the Copeland Ministries by reading all scriptures that came in mail and signed our namesand put check with this, this means something to us, and God, I believe, not because we put our faith in Bro. Copeland but because we put our faith in God!! and HE delivers, My husband and my faith was engaged, and he ,being led by his spirit man, e-mailed a random realator, who immediatley e-mailed us back(all the same night-people) we scheduled to come look at our house that weekend and closed within a very short period of time….We now live in a 5 bedroom 3 bath. house with everything we could possible want…..not near what our Master is making for us even as we speak, we will live in those soon……My God shall supply all my need according to HIS RICHES in glory THRU CHRIST JESUS!!!!I am a new creation, and I don’t have to live in houses that are run down and nasty, amen? I can e abased as Paul who wrote he has learned to be rich and poor to have plenty and go without Phil. 4: 12 read it people, it’s good stuff, By the way, You don’t know who GOD may have sent Brother Dollar’s way to for example: do his electrical work for house or build his pool, Brother Moore says in series “would Jesus wear a Rolex?”-which is free for anyone to download at Moore Life Ministries,, that how do you know that someone didn’t give it to them by leading of the Spirit, that doesn’t mean that that person is now broke, he may have had 2 and even if he didn’t guess what? God honors obedience, and that person will reap, if he is giving to God and not the pastor….it’s scriptual, and it works……
I didnt even seek to read the whole thing coz to me it doesnt matter .Who are we to see what who and who does or has.God is faithful and is always true to his word so when he says the steps of a righteous man are ordered of the Lord….so he means it.Lets believe in God in everything we have coz he makes it possible which ever way.Look at celebration ministries built for Zimbabweans by Zimbabweans could you honestly try to investigate our Pastors for that?.Why is it coz we are in Africa and worse still Zimbabwe???We need to reform our minds and maintain the Kingdom of God in our lives for out of that will come all these other things.God bless these ministries and kip em giving us the word like they do.To that senator please your honorable dont argue wit that which God has bestowed unto his pple what do u have and do that many of us don try to get into.God shall not be mocked…..
We all want a blessing, because we all would like a good life, friends, family, children prospering, a nice home. Why should chistians live in squallor or standard homes. god blesses and the cup can spill right over. When i wanted to move out of my state appartment god gave me TWO great homes for free,i had to pay but he delivered, he dusted be down found me a great job. This was when i was just saved. i was faithful, be how faithful is creflo- give him two mansions- if he cound travel state to state by car, train he would. I’m sure he has done so in the past. to reach more people he has up/ped his means of transport. The parable of the 3 servants- one hid the masters money -buried it-the others multiply it. Christians like the others invest/creflo multiply HIS money. Does god my father want me to be poor? why would he ? As christians we should be jealous of one another- wait for our own blessing. We should be proud of brother creflo’s ability to preech to the masses-/ influence and touch people/ write books etc. A ‘celebrity paster- just like Jesus with his crowds of followers- JESUS SAID SPREAD THE WORD TIL I RETURN-do not be one of jesus haters- (ponchous pilott Spelling bad i know). lETS NOT KEEP CHRISTIANS IN POVERTY-YES SEEK YE THE KINGDOM OF GOD FIRST-CREFLO WAS-AND IS A PASTER FIRST. pRAY THAT ALL CHRISTIAN HAVE A MANSION AND DONT REMAIN IN THE PROJECTS OR STATE HOUSING-PRAY WE LOVE GOD AND A FINACIALLY COMFORTABLE LIFE-AMEND
I do not follow any of these ministers and do not know much about them, but I do know that there is not one person who faithfully sits under creflo dollars ministry that is in poverty. Also do you know that he was born into more money than he will ever make from his ministry. People are so quick to judge let God do that and most of the time they do not know from what they speak. Even the other ministers know one’s perfect and what the people perceives of them does not mean that they are not anointed. People need to worry about their own souls salvation.
I don’t have a lot to say about these people who don’t believe,onyl to pray and ask God for some wisdom and guidence on this matter. He will surely amswer thee.
touch not my annointing ,speaking evil of these people its not right.God blessed them abudantely
jesus is lord
Leave these preachers alone. God is their judge. Go after people in the Governments who loot the public to the point of their destitution
The reason why the world is going the way it is, is because of the people that mess with God’s annointed. There isn’t anything wrong with the man and woman of God prospering. What is wrong is 50 cents, Oprah and so on and so forth can sell you all false dreams in their song and on their shows and you buy it up like they are God and nobody investigates them. Persucautors of the man and woman of God, listen to a plea from the heart, repent now the Kingdom of God is at hand. That what a man sows he also reaps. What you are trying to show people on your website is wrong. God said, give 10% of your income. Are you saying your God, well then you or nobody else have a right to persucuate the man or woman of God. I am telling you this in love because the bible said, my people are destoryed for the lack of knowledge and it is obvious you don’t have a whole lot of knowledge of the word All this is the words in the bible coming to pass. Better get ready church
In the last day’s, people will be lover’s of themselves, leaning towards their own understanding. Satan will be the greatest deceiver ever known to man. In the last day’s he will pull out all the stops, he will be able to deceive even the very elect. He also answers prayers. So be careful what you consider to be a blessing and where you think your blessings are coming from. If you are more worried and concerned about obtaining and gaining material and worldly possessions and money, your are definitely not on the right track. Eternal salvation should be our number one priority not what we drive, how big our house is, or how big and massive a church is. Salvation is not in the building or material possessions, it’s in “Yeshua”
I love you pastor Dallor you have been a great big blessing to me god bless you
why are we not investigating the government for taking %30 of our money and stuffing it in their pockets? answer me that before you investigate creflo!!!!!!
you foolish, foolish, foolish people, those who choose to condemn the very pastors who want nothing more for you to prosper. Its funny to me that that all this has became about prosperity in terms of money. when God speaks about prosperity, he talks about prosperity in every realm of life. My family and i are furvent watchers of creflo, joyce, jesse, and copeland and never have i seen such dynamic servents of God, that want nothing more for the world, than to come to know the Christ that was sent to save us. Many people dont realize that the messages that they preach, teach you how to achieve true prosperity in your life. We in this country have adopted a mentality of bondage. these ministers are free and truely free from all that the world would subject them to. you criticize the men and women of God for what they have. if i am not mistaken, the bible says that whatever you ask in my name shall be given. God has done all that he is ever going to do. it is up to all of us to walk upright and in its fullness the authority that god has given us( that;s why Christ died) we are to be exactly like christ while residing on this earth, hince christ saying, ” And greater things will you do” we are suppossed to be healing the sick and raising the dead. if we are meant to be broke and living in poverty, and not blessed coming in, blessed going out, in the city, and in the field than God’s word is a lie. And God’s word never returns void. continue to adjust your own faith walk and watch the blessing over take you so much so that the bible says, ” you wont have room to contain them” And these ministers dont have the room to contain them, thats why they are trying to be a blessing to you fools. they have done what it takes and they are ever beseeching all of his to get on their level. ” i was young but am now old and never have i seen the righteous forsaken” stop making acusations based on information that you cant even concieve of, you dont even have an ounce of clue to how there ministries operate, only fools speak about that in which they have no knowledge of information of. foolish, foolish foolish servents. i dont see any one bashing the porno industry that’s responsible for pushing disgusting sexual perversions that poison the mind and spirit, that exploits children, woman, and men, by by the way the porno industry is a billion dollar industry and neither of these ministers are billionaires, put your focus and attention to things that can make our society better and enhance the lives of the generations to come. im through wit it
I have just recently started watching Paster Dollar and I have to say his messages have been very inspirational and to the point. I am a preachers daughter from Georgia now living in PA and I grew up in Northwest GA in a lot of poverty and where it seemed as if it would have been wrong to live a blessed life. All I ever heard was if a Preacher had money they must be taking it from the people. It has taken sometime to see this money issue in a different light because of the lying,cheating and everything else ungodIy that I grew up seeing in church. I personaly think that the way Dollar and his family lives is between them and God. Even though I’m sitting here right now having a major cash flow problem in my business and really don’t know whats going to happen next financially I still look at Pastor Dollar and his family and think good for them!!! A lot of people don’t see the money that goes out to help others in a Ministry or all the behind the scenes cost. God didn’t intend for us to be broke we wouldn’t take financial advice from a homeless person then why would we except Spiritual Guidance from someone who is struggling to get there life in order and is broke. Unfortunatly, there is seems to be a lot jealousy and envy. Maybe Dollars Jet is nicer than the Senators oh yea he AIN’t GOT ONE!!! Ok that was sarcastic but from the bottom of my heart I bless them both. Wendy
People who have spoken ill or comment on other christian brothers and sisters who may be prospering in every area of their lives are often blind to see the simple truths of scriptures.
my only comment to them is for them to go back to the scriptures and remove all the prosperity verses of the bible and even God’s promises to us and then go with the what’s left and try to teach the whole world their revelation. I wonder what hope they will leave to those whom the devil has come to steal, kill and destroy?
Wake up o sleeper and let God shine on you! The Christian covenant is Increase!! Be fruitful and multiply, Go into all the world and make disciples.
Sometimes it is important to remember we are encouraged to grow into maturity. Perhaps it is time to grow up. Psalms 34:8, O taste and see that the Lord is good. That’s what blessing is about. Go be prosperous in finance wisdom and all that God wants you to be. Remember Job???
God Bless you.
What the crap are people thinking some of you who posting is judging and you don’t like christians in the first place that is why you are saying what you are saying then those who are speaking evil gossiping you missing out on your blessing and God don’t like gossiping and HE also said that get the plank out your eye then you shall see clearly to cast out the plank out of your brother’s eye. Matthew 7:5
And then another thing if they are not using the money for the church and using it for themselves then how is it that there churches are so huge then Jesus said that He has given us all things to enjoy
Ask yourselves a simple question; what would Jesus say to Creflo Dollar (still can’t get over the irony of his last name} if the two were to meet? There is a special place in hell for those who take advantage of the weak, infirm, hopeless and destitute to enrich themselves in the name of the Lord. These astute fraudsters have taken refuge in and advantage of the Bill of RIghts to form non-profits they can hide behind. $3.00 vaccinates a child in Africa against malaria, cholera and a host of other deadly diseases not known in the U.S. $3.00 also buys gallon of gas for one of Creflo’s TWO Rolls Royces. Satan came to earth to deceive the many, the Gospel warns. Judging by the misinformed posts of readers here, he has succeeded.
Anyone on this list that uses any type of profanity – is not a Christian. Period.
Why do people want Jesus to be portraited as a Poor Man. what would it gain to should a rich man how to live this life as a rich person. that’s to easy, in our struggle one would say well Jesus you did it cause you were RICH- NO he proved that money could not get you in Heaven. He had to become poor to show us how people like us can live Sin Free. Some of the Pastor and Leader are over doing it. But I can’t condem all rich Pastors. the government ask us to be poor and take it but they refuse to feed the poor and sick. Now they want to look at the Mega Ministries for the cash that they have stolen from US. Drugs, Gambling, and everything is coming here by way of GOVERNMENT. the church needs to Wake up and do what they are called to do. Preach and Help People find Christ.
Jesus was born in a stable because there were no vacancies in any of the lodgings in the city.
Luke 2:7
And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
Yes, Jesus was RICH!
Not just in SPIRIT but in REALITY. He was a carpenter BEFORE God called Him & said it was TIME. Why else would the Roman soldiers gamble for his robe? If it was not worth anything, they wouldnt have gambled for it.
The examples Jesus gives us in the Bible are what a love of money can cause. They are very good examples of idol worship (money, cars, and material things)
Jesus, being a Jew, was part of the covenant of Abraham. All of the covenant men of God in the Old Testament were prosperous. The blessing of God was on their lives. Consider Abraham: “Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold” (Gen 13:2). Why would Jesus be any different?
Do we try to justify our current financial condition by saying that Jesus was poor? Do we judge the Word of God by our experiences?
Look at the gifts that the wise men brought to Him at His birth! Gold, frankincense, and myrrh! All of which were very valuable! Now consider if you were one of the wise men! How much of these things would you be trying to give to the Messiah? Then the scriptures tell us that Jesus made Himself poor so that others might be rich in faith. He was a master carpenter also, so I’m sure He was capable of making a pretty hefty living. I believe He used all of His wealth for the preaching of the gospel. As for His seamless tunic, it was the same garment of a high preist, if you do your studying of preist clothing,
Many people care about money, but God cares about the heart. He left His home in Heaven and came to earth to see if there were any who cared about God. He found a few, then he went and got a job preaching. The preacher is worthy of his hire, Jesus said. Before that, He was a carpenter, and carpenters were rich not. Master carpenters did work for men who were rich, and Jesus did work for anybody. His work must have been perfect, for He was perfect. Scripture says He had His own house. Many people remember His seamless robe. Was not that from God? Turtledoves were also offered for perfection, not just for economy. Praise God.
Joseph & Mary wasn’t poor!
Joseph looked for an Inn to lodge at, But they were full, So with Mary about to give birth, Joseph took the only place left(The Stables)…
Then, when the 3 rich wisemen came to worship the Lord they found Joseph, Mary & Yahshua(Jesus)and gave them Gold, ect. ect.
A person had to have money to travel with caravans, and when they came back and moved to Nazareth they had a home and Joseph started working as a carpenter.
Joseph & Mary were well known by the High Preist and others in the Temple, Zechariah was/is the husband of Elizabeth who is the cousin of Mary.
Jesus teaching in the Temple at the age of 12
Jesus was rich.He was from house of David.He was a royal Man
(2Cor 8.9)For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. this advice was given whilst Paul was encouraging the church to give to the poor.So dear Catherine at least one scripture stating Christ’s poverty, and the reason why.
I have never seen a scripture telling ME about His financial status. “He was RICH”. He was and is still God. Always will be. He owned the world when He was here and nothing has changed, He still does. The Bible tells me so. When wicked men were murdering Him, as some are still doing today, although they don’t realize it, Jesus could’ve called out 12 legions of angels to help Him. [He did not], because of me. He sent Peter fishing so He could pay His taxes. [Money in fish's mouth]. Seems to me He was rich. Dah.
Question- did Jesus have a Ship? first off I can’t imagine those Men on a little boat.
According to the WORD
But Jesus was in the back of the boat, asleep on a cushion. So they woke him up and asked him, “Teacher, don’t you care that we’re going to die?”
GWT© But he was sleeping on a cushion in the back of the boat. So they woke him up and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care that we’re going to die?”
KJV And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
AKJ And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say to him, Master, care you not that we perish?
ASV And he himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion: and they awake him, and say unto him, Teacher, carest thou not that we perish?
Rappers are known less for their talent and more for their “bling” these days, complete with their Hummers, Bentleys, and fur coats, gold-capped teeth and all those diamonds and Cristal that they go through like water. With rap and hip hop storming the airwaves, commanding attention with bitter feuds, gun shots in the face and drive-by shootings, is it any wonder that we all want to live like rappers, bathing in the fame and fortune of just merely being a rapper? Two of the rappers listed below are more private about their wealth while the other two boasts about being the king of bling and the best the world has ever seen. Let’s see how they live:
In Jesus’ 32 years in the Mediterranean he voluntarily chose to do without many of the luxuries and creature-comforts that humans hunger and thirst after.
The rapper that spits rhymes with the best of them yet does not seem to live the rapper life in the slightest, forgoing the wine, women and riches that are showered on man, to take care of his eleven year old daughter Hailey by his ex-wife, Kim Mathers. Marshall Mathers, or Eminem as he is more commonly known round the world lives a cozy lifestyle that borders on the reclusive since he purchased a 29-room, 15,000 square foot mansion with six acres of land in nearby Rochester Hills, Michigan. Eminem bought the home from former Kmart chairman, Chuck Conway for 48 million dollars.
notorious gangster turned rapper who is better known for being shot in the face nine times, is 50 cent, who makes his house a home in Hartford County, Connecticut. Not quite the community that you could imagine this hard-bodied sharp-shooter to make a home in but he did when he bought former boxing champ Mike Tyson’s home in Farmington, Connecticut for 4.1 million dollars. The house has fifty-two rooms and twenty-five full bathrooms with four of them containing whirlpools. If you think this is excessive, consider that he also has a private club inside, not to mention a waterfall AND a lake in his back yard set on the fourteen acres of land.
A legend himself, yet still alive and not quite through middle age, Sean “Puff Daddy/P.Diddy/Diddy/ Combes has been centered on achieving fame and fortune since he was a young bow-tie-wearing kid working to hype up late and great rapper, Notorious B.I.G’s career, propelling him to fame shortly before his untimely demise. P.Diddy works hard and plays even harder with expensive tastes and a penchant for the crème de la crème. His style and taste for the high-life extend to his numerous family members and friends where he is known on both coasts for throwing the wildest celebrity-filled parties.
However, Diddy just recently purchased a sprawling mansion on seven acres of land in the quiet but upper-scale community of Dunwoody, Atlanta for a reported cost of 2.6 million dollars. The new home boasts a number of features including seven bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, tennis courts, and the requisite pool. This is his second home aside from the modest house he bought in 1995 in nearby Fayetteville, although it is unclear if he will be using the newer home as his primary residence or not.
Wake up Christian’s !! God wants to use you. He wants to use you in this particular way, to change the world . This is one of the few direct ways, that us “little folks” have the chance to effect the whole world. Let’s not squander it . Let us go forward, in the name of our Father, and reclaim this land for Him. He was gracious enough to give it to us in the first place, let’s reclaim it for His glory .
THE WHOLE WORLD IS SCREAMING ABOUT MONEY, POWER FAME, when Jesus is trying to get PEOPLES attention.
peace, be still

Peace.
I want more of it. I crave it actually.
I love the verse that says, “For He Himself is our peace…” So praying for more peace in my life means praying for more of Him in my life.
Yes please.
I think often of the storm at sea in Mark 4, and how Jesus quieted it with His command: “Peace! Be still!” Jesus spoke peace, but peace was already there. Because He is peace.
With Jesus in the boat, the disciples already had peace in the middle of the storm. But they wanted peace without the storm. And Jesus gave that to them; He calmed the wind and waves. But then He looked at them and said, “Don’t you have any faith at all?”
Woah.
Maybe He was telling them that faith doesn’t mean trusting for miraculous rescue from the storm. But rather it means enduring the storm, knowing that Peace is right there with them.
Maybe He’s telling me the same thing.
Jesus was rich, He had the best clothes, had houses and everyone was attracted to him. Numerous Scriptures are used to validate a prosperous Jesus one who had the best of everything. The Bible says this “For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him…” Isaiah 53:2-3.
The scriptures present Jesus as average in appearance and prominence. Not only did He not attract from his outward appearance but he also lowly in His dress and demeanor. Isaiah describes as a man we wouldn’t recognize as important if we saw Him on the street. The fact that Judas had to identify him for the arresting party shows us that he looked similar to the other regular Jewish men of his time
There was no outward attraction by appearance or status that they should desire Him, he did not dress in the finest clothes. None of his disciples followed Him because of any promise of earthly prosperity as he was asking them to leave all. He did not tell them to do something that He Himself did not do.
To a rich young man Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.” But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions. Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Assuredly, I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven” (Matt 19:21-23)
In Luke’s account 18:22-23 Jesus said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.” But when he heard this, he became very sorrowful, for he was very rich.”
Jesus did not tell the man to keep his riches to follow him or that after he gives them away he would replenish them. He was concerned with the man having riches in heaven, not in this earthly life. Notice, Jesus used this event to teach his disciples a lesson, that it is extremely hard for those with riches to come into the kingdom because they cannot let go of them. This goes contrary to Jesus being rich or any type of prosperity message people may conclude form the Scriptures.
I believe Dr.Dollar & Bishop Long are true obedient apostles of God.If you watch them on t.v., you will understand that what they preach about God and breaking down each scripture in the bible is truelly God speaking through them.Whenever you get on top and you get a name for yourself, people start to hate and become jeolous of you, who you are and what you have and this is the situation that we are in today.Instead of bring down these great people in ministry,the world should be lifting them up and seeing the difference they are making in the world.This is just a sign of the devil trying to take his wrath on God’s chosen apostles but God will overcome and get the victory.
YOU TAKE CARE OF GOD BUSINESS AND HE’ WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU….HE IS A REWARDER OF THOSE THAT DILINGENTLY SEEK HIM….SOUNDS LIKE PROSPERITY TO ME…..WEALTH OF WICKED IS STORED UP FOR THE RIGHTEOUS……SOUNDS LIKE PROSPERITY TO ME……..CREFLO AND EDDIE LONG AIN’T THE ONLY CHRISTIANS THAT ARE RICH……TO ALL OF THE HATERS OUT HERE, QUIT LIVING BELOW WHAT JESUS HAS PAID THE PRICE FOR,, CAUSE IF THE LORD IS INCREASING YOU MORE AND MORE, THEN YOU SHOULD PROSPER, IF YOUR NOT, IT’S YOUR FAULT NOT GOD’S FAULT… READ YOUR BIBLE AND GET RID OF YOUR RELIGIOUS OPINIONS!
Brothers and sisters….when the scripture talks about prosperity it doesn’t mean financial necessarily……when you are a Pastor/ Deacon/ Elder/ on a Board of Directors we are serving our Beloved Lord Jesus and other Christians first. WE are last. We should be above reproach!!! Why- because we serve our Lord. Even the Apostle Paul says even in my freedom in Christ I will not do certain things so as to not cause another to sin…..that’s putting other’s first. When you are a Pastor aren’t you the greatest of servants and a role model on how to live the Christian life? Shouldn’t you be accountable to other elders and the Christians in your church? How can all these Christians have million dollar houses, jets, etc.? To be above reproach means even if I make lots of money from my “book deals” I will live modestly so as to not cause the church to look bad or for unbelievers to think Christians are shady. I don’t pass judgement but the Lord already has and he will clean house from all these mega church Pastors and preachers that ruin the gospel and christianity with their greed. God help us!!!!!
There are many comments that is made for and some are against and some are unsure. We are all about saying this or that…but the real questions was not asked of any person and those questions should be; where are we in our faith? Money, Power, Fine Cars, Homes, etc., are not faith but instruments that will linger here on earth long after those who own them are gone. It is true that almost every church in every city operates as a business. Here is what we all should see; a man called by God to preach the gospel to the flock that is before him. He must be a down-to-earth leader and not full of fine wear(s), live a simple and honest life; caring for those in needs rather than accepting it; full of spirts where those that asked for help in time of needs and those who are willing to give to the needs of other. A man called to preached must be an “Odained” Preacher and laying of hands must be administered. Many men was called, some was not accepted, and some just went; God only took those he called! We all have a habit of citing striptures about situations but we never begun to understand that we must not follow man words….rather, we must follow the words from the Bible, KJ, NIV, etc.,. Those that follow the words of God will not wonder into places or church where you nothing but fashion shows on a daily basis; women wearing short clothing and showing what they have and sitting unappropriated right in front of the man who is so called a Preacher. When you or I see a Preacher, Bishop, Rev, etc., dressing in appearence that his flock attention is poise on him or her. You better realize that you are in the wrong place. Mega-Churches…coming to claim many followers and when you actually feel you are not getting the word of God, but elected to stay to be either part of the flock because of the name of that Chruch, or the name of the person preaching there; you too…are in the wrong place. Finally, don’t forget what happen to all those who follow a “so-called” preacher name “Jim Jones”, no one of his flock knew he was planning their death until the final day came. Because of the alertness of a few…they realize the situation they were in and fled in the middle of the night running and walking miles to the nearest city of Guyana. The very next day, over some 900 bodies was found dead either by drinking the so called “cool-aid” and some even shot while trying to leave. Oh, don’t forget Congressmen Ryan from California who died along with part of his staff. Think about it very wise and closely, have your life changed since this economy has taken a beating and can you continue to five generously like you once did. Also, how are your Preacher living, eating and dressing while you can no longer be among the finest of the finest. Have you reached out for help and have you gotten it so you can be able to maintain your life you once had. The 900 deaths in Guyana asked themselves that same questions and for some it was indeed to late. You might be thinking that all of the money you gave to these Mega Chruches….the chance are your Preachers are wearing it and driving and living in it!
sometimes people dont know what they are saying when they talk about men&women of God you should have the best because God is the best if you put time,tears &sat apart for all God has called you to do and you obey the voice of God you will always have the best try it then you would see how good God is to the ones who obeys hes voice and hes word .God is a good God.
Do people ever sit back and think about what this man had to go threw to get this big house. Instead of judging him. People should be saying “Job Well Done.” God says, Judge Not. He deserves everything he gets because he is doing the good work of GOD. He is the one preaching the word of GOD to people who wants to listen. He’s not putting a gun to anyone head, saying give me your money. People just mad because he made it somewhere and they are not going anywhere. I want to say to you Mr. Eddie Long, Keep up the good work and god will continue to bless you. To everyone else, Stop hating on a man of God and go and do something to better your life instead of worrying about someone else life.
Peace.
Many of the posts here have validity on both parts HOWEVER God speaks and that is where truth lies. I recall a rich man being addressed and the poor. Would God bless ones of His who live “excessively”? That is for each one to seek that answer and then pray accordingly as the Holy Spirit leads. Not to cast blame or uncover one to flaunt that ones sin but PRAY!!! PRAY!!! PRAY!!! God said “all” things done in secret/dark will be brought to light/exposed! You see the house but is it a home?… Pray!!!
ITS HEART WARMING TO SEE GOD S CHILDREN GETTING RICH AND STAYING PROSPEROUS.ITS OBVIOUS THE WORLD CANT STAND IT.WHO SAID GODS PEOPLE HAVE TO BE POOR?WAY TO GE PAS DOLLAR….WE IN INDIA LOVE YOU AND BLESS YOU
I dont have to use a lot of words and I dont plan on it, God put us here to do a job for him that means to spread the news of what he’s done for us that means no other business should be told we dont have any other business
except talking about god,he’ll take care of every thing else thats what he does and he does it well, when we put our mine on jesus somthing happens he
starts taking care of every thing else for us, like moving mountains and giving
us favor in this world.
peace Edwina
Anointing brings increase, alot of people making wrong comments about the ministers of God here should be careful or God himself will defend them and they will incure the wrath of God. Abraham was blessed, David was blessed, Solomon was blessed, Christ was not poor either,Christ came for a mission which He fulfilled,He didn’t need earthly wealth,He wouldn’t have a wife and kid, He is all sufficient and has the authority to supply all needs and above all Christ wasn’t a man as we are, He came in the image of a man. God said in the bible, “I wish above all that ye prosper and be in good health,also as thy soul prospereth”. So don’t be deceived who says prosperity is forbidden for all children of God. If God was not interested in our wealth then He wouldn’t say in the book of Isaiah 45:3 “I will give you the treasures of darkness,And hidden riches of secret places,that you may know that I,the Lord,who call you by your name,Am the God of Isreal”. So instead of you all busy criticising why don’t you think positively and make wealth!!!!!!
only god has the power to condem anyone. Not the government , not man. Not that it is right but as soon as a black preacher, athlete, boxer or Ceo gains noritity here comes someone trying to throw salt in their game. What are you accomplishing by trying to say these people are frauds. The white man has been frauding worshipers for ever. Jimmy Swagerrt, Tammy and Jimmy Baker, Benny Hinn. And just as soon as the black minister is able to build a large fallering, they must be doing something illegal. They are putting their hands in more than annointing oil. It is just another reason for the devil to destort people from fowerling Jesus. But we need to understand we have no heaven or hell to put anyone in nor should we cast
God Have Bless these people, God is rich, Have Faith he will bless you too.
I give faithfully my tithes every Sunday, Not to church but to God, the church I give to his mearly one of his many houses, I give, not because a preacher tells me to, but because God through his word, the bible, the God inspired book tells me too. However, I praise God for preachers such as Creflo, Joyce, The Copelands and many more for helping me have a deeper understanding of Gods word and the principles of sowing and reaping.
If we truly trust God we wouldn’t care how his annoited spent the money as God will judge each and everyone of us. Give thought to to this, for the little time these people have to spend at home,(because of their workloads) why shouldn’t they have the blessings of God and why not follow the same Godly principles they followed to get the wealth they have now, I can assure you I am much richer than they when I purchase a CD, DVD or a book or watch their broadcast as its God who speaks to me through them. I don’t have a plane because I don’t need one. I would love a mansion and a fancy car and one day will have them and I will do it and achieve this by diligently following the word or God and listening to the above preachers, so please don’t be offended with me when I do, give praise to God when he blesses me.
The funny thing is that nobody realizes that Creflo Dollar does not even take a salary from his church. He makes all hos money from business and real estate. So since when is it wrong for an already wealthy man to minister the gospel. Have you seen his giving reports. He gives more money away to people in need than anybody that has commented on this forum combined. Christians are the only group of people that don’t protect or restore their own.
While reading some of the comments about the preachers who live in
their big houses and drive those fancy cars, do you really know what these people
teach and believe? Lets not worry about the material wealth that is temporary, the real danger is what they are trying to get you to believe. Do you know they teach that Jesus had to die twice to save you from your sins, that his bloods did not atone for your sins, that He had to go into hell and let the devil punish him for
three days and nights, my friends it doesnt matter what a man has here because the bible tells us some have their reward here and some their rewards follow them, rather be concerend about the souls that will ignorantly fall for this false
doctrine and be damned. I love these people but I hate what they are doing.
The bible tells us Jesus died ONCE FOR ALL Not twice May God Bless You.
Corrupt money motivated Sunday paycheck preachers have committed fraud through using the Bible to lie about the tithe, the parable of the sower and other scriptures in the Word of God in order to generate money. In regards to tithing, the question is not what is someone’s opinion or interpretation of Malachi 3:10. The question is what does the Word of God say about Malachi 3:10 and other scriptures concerning the tithe? The Word of God is the truth and the Word of God addresses tithing. The tithe command in the Bible was part of the law, which was given by God to the Israelites through Moses. The tithe command had to do specifically with the produce of the land and the livestock (not money). The tithe can be found in the Old Testament (Leviticus 27:30-34) (Numbers 18:20-32) (Deuteronomy 14:22-29).The tithe command can be found in the New Testament (Hebrews 7:5). In Matthew 23:23, Jesus spoke of the Scribes & Pharisees tithe of the produce of the land (mint, anise & cummin). In Luke 11:42 Jesus spoke of the Pharisees tithe of the produce of the land (mint, rue and all manner of herbs). The Israelites followed the LAW which required them to tithe the produce of the land and the livestock as stated in Deuteronomy 14:22-29 and Malachi 3:7-12. There are no percentages placed upon the giver, as shown by Jesus in Mark 12:41-44 as the poor widow gave all she had to the temple treasury. The rich gave to the temple treasury out of their abundance in Mark 12:44, also proving that there are no percentages placed upon the giver. The temple treasury is where the money was given and the people gave freely to the temple treasury. There were no percentages for the giver. The tithe was a food program designed to feed the Levites, strangers to the land, the fatherless and the widows, as stated in Deuteronomy 14:29. The tithe consisted of the Israelites giving 10% of their produce of the land and the livestock. Hebrews chapter 7 verse 5 states: And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham. Numbers chapter 18 verse 21 states (God speaking to Aaron): And behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation. How do you give money? FREEWILL GIVING, which has NO PERCENTAGE placed upon the giver, as shown by Jesus in Mark 12:41-44 as there were NO PERCENTAGES placed on those giving to the treasury, and also stated by the Apostle Paul in 2nd Corinthians 9:7, as Paul said “EVERY MAN according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver”. The Apostle Paul said that no one is to give out of necessity, which is the Greek word anagke (an-ang-kay’), which is defined as constraint, and a person is not to give out of having constraints placed on them to give. People are under no command to give any other way than as they purpose in their hearts to give as God has prospered them. The Apostle Paul did not teach the tithe and there are no records in the New Testament showing that the Apostle Paul paid tithes to anyone while following Jesus Christ, and there are no records in the New Testament of anyone in the Church of Jesus Christ paying tithes to anyone, or taking tithes from anyone. The reason that the tithe was not taught was because the tithe is not for the Church. The tithe is for the Levites, Levite priests and the Israelites and this is proven in the Word of God. Sunday paycheck preachers who place an obligation on Christians to pay them tithes are going totally against the Word of God through teaching their lies, and scamming people out of money, just as people were scammed out of their money through lies by Bernie Madoff, the Enron executives, and numerous others. Ministers of Satan will ultimately have to answer to Jesus Christ as stated by Jesus Christ in Matthew Chapter 7, verses 15 through 23.
Scanning through this, I noticed something about those who are defending a televangelist scam artist, saying he’s entitled to enrich himself by using fear to motivate listeners to donate. Those who are defending this fraud use very poor grammar and misspell very simple words.
Some may think that the inability to master basic spelling and grammar may signal an inability to discern a difference between serving God and using God’s service to make oneself rich. Saying that he’s doing “God’s work” and therefore deserves to be rich shows a fundamental inability to understand the basic message of Christianity, but then again, someone who doesn’t know the difference between ‘their’, ‘they’re’ and ‘there’ is a prime target for a fraud who intends to take money from a fool’s pocket and put it in his own.
Creflo dollor is a blessed man of God And God will bless him more even aftger the tests and trials . God is pleased in the prosperity of his servents. Enemy is happy when men of god are brocken, But Bible says wealth and riches are in the house of rightious–thank God
If people are dumb enough to give there money to these people then shame on them. If you needed a plane ride, would they offer it to you since your tithes helped to acquire?
The bibke says touch not my anointed and do my prophets no harm. Those speaking against men and women of God, really need to check yourselves because that is very serious. I’ve been a member of World Changers for over 20 years and I have witness the growth of our church from 200 members to what it is now. God will not continue to bless a person if he’s stealing from Him and deceiving His people. I can appreciate the teachings from Dr. Dollar because he gives you a word, shows you scriptures in the bible to apply to the word, and gives you practical steps on how to apply it to your everyday life! It don’t get any better than that. As a result of applying the Word of God to my life I’ve experience increases, favor, blessing, all the time. I’ve made it a lifestyle. So we laugh at the ignorance of some, because you can never make a comment unless you yourself has witness the ministry, sat up under the teachings, and have experienced it for yourself, and not from he said she said! That’s just so messy who does that? Obviously you do. The devil just mad, but to God be the glory!!! Yeah!
they deserve to be rich
Personally I would never go to a church led by a poor pastor. A church with a rich pastor and poor members is pretty bad. But a ministry that has educated, wealthy members is dif. Nobody is gonna tell me what I can and cannot do with my money. If cutting it up and throwing in the trash brings me results then that’s my business.
There aint nothing worst than a poor assed minister trying to tell me how to prosper and live when he shaking inside about his bill’s. Those are the one’s you have to watch the one’s that are trying make a come up on the member’s. Creflo is college educated. When they say Dr. Dollar that doesnt just mean preacher doctor either.
I just can’t believe that some people base their whole lives and ministries on putting other pastors down. Creflo Dollar has helped millions of people, including myself, to know God, to believe in our God given authority and to find our God given purpose. I am closer now to God then I have ever been. I dare any of you critics to read his books and apply the BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES that he teaches on. The results are amazing, and I’m not just talking about financial prosperity. I’m talking about inner peace, patience, forgiveness, and a whole lot more. You people fail to realize that Solomon and even Jesus himself were not poor. For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich. You people wouldn’t dare say that these two people (or maybe I should say one person and God himself) were false prophets. What you people are doing is not Biblical at all. The Bible says beware of false prophets. Nowhere does it say start a website or ministry or base your lives on talking bad about them. The Bible also says that you should know a prophet by his fruits. Again I don’t mean just financial success, I mean all other fruits of the spirit. You guys are upset because he drives a Rolls but fail to see how many souls he has brought to God. One thing that is more important to God than feeding the poor is saving souls. If God is real (which I have no doubt that he is) then let him be the judge surely he will get what he deserves?! God is just and fair. Surely he shouldn’t prosper if he is blaspheming?!
Creflo Dollar is my inspiration, he changed my life and GOD’s wisdom made him to be who he is today. If you search the kingdom of God first than all things … Creflo is a given man of GOD, there is no question about him, the way he preach is amazing and he make use of practical examples based on our diarly life.
I personally will continue buying is tapes no matter what people are saying, because through his preaching my live change completly. I am a Namibia (African), neighbouring country of South Africa.
Thanks

phychos
people, you all have to live everything to God. His the only one to judge His servants He place before you. You all ought to give you all tithes and offerings. it is stated in the Bible. ex READ (Numbers18:25 to32) (verse28 God was speaking to Mose about the tithes that was gived to him in the church from the children of Israel. ‘ Thus you shall also offer a heaven offering to the Lord from all the tithes which you receive from the children of Israel, and you shall give the Lord’s heaven offering from it to Aron the priest.’
So bro. and sis when you give your tithes and offerings to whom God has place you under 1.it is ment to help the church as in the worker 2.people in the church who cannot afford much, not saying that you have to bank on the church for help all the time, you out to go out and work to support Gods Kingdom 3. The pastor have to get from it, which is biblical. Why because that a form of God blessing to Him, cause he fullfilling his part. When you give you time God gives back. The pastors gave there time to teach you the word of God , so God decide to bless them in His way and many other ways.
Aron and mose was leaders of the congregation of Israel and God gave them the yes to have some of the money. But thay had to offer it to God first befor taking anything from it.
Read your bibles properly and aloud the Holy Spirit to minister to you if you want to see your life change into the best. Stop saying things which will put course on you and your childrens children. Thanks
these preachers are being investigated because, they are doing what politicians cant do…that is…. Tell the truth.
If you add super to natural you’ll get power that is released on to the annointed of God. It’s not given to anyone. To all the politicians seek HIM while he may be found!
III John 2:3: “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth”.
Don’t worry-God own it all, and neither Brother Dollar, nor Brother Long, nor any of the other ministers that are bearing not just good but excellent fruit, will
