đĽ UNPOPULAR TRUTH: PROSPERITY ISNâT THE GOSPEL đĽ
Letâs be honest â sharing prosperity testimonies just to gather crowds âfor Christâ is a lie wrapped in churchy marketing.
We tell people, âCome to Jesus, and your life will be sweet, your pockets will overflow, and doors will openâ â but thatâs not what Jesus promised.
He said:
âIn this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.â â John 16:33
The truth is this: weâre not inviting people to a party â weâre calling them to a crucifixion.
And yes⌠we know that wonât âtrend.â
But the cross never did.
Nobody tells you this, but the man who wrote âI Have Decided to Follow Jesusâ did so after watching his family killed for their faith.
And what converted his killers wasnât a miracle or a money testimony â it was how he embraced persecution with unshaken resolve.
âI have decided to follow Jesus. No turning back.â
That is what moved hearts.
That is what real power looks like â not flashy success, but unwavering surrender.
We cannot keep baiting people with blessings and hiding the burden of the cross.
Yes, God blesses. Yes, He provides. But the road is hard, narrow, and lonely â and that is the invitation.
âWhoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.â â Luke 14:27
Letâs stop selling Jesus like a business.
Letâs preach the truth: He is worth it â even when it costs everything.
