God has a plan for you and it’s a really good plan! He wants to prosper you and give you hope and a future far beyond what this world has to offer. The gospel (that is, good news) of Jesus Christ is that if you believe in Jesus, you will have eternal life and if you follow Him you will find peace, power, and fulfillment beyond anything you could ever imagine. Unfortunately, there are many selfish preachers out there who want to sell you a false gospel. They want you to believe that if you send them money, God will bless you with health and wealth. They say that trusting in God means sending them money so they can buy another mansion and a private plane and they say that prosperity is worldly riches and protection from illness. God never promised that the life of a Christian would be easy, and He certainly never promised to heal sickness for money. The health, wealth, and prosperity that comes from truly trusting in Jesus Christ is so much better than anything these greedy preachers are trying to sell you. Don’t fall for their selfish lies, put your hope in Jesus Christ.
