Download or read book Health Wealth and Happiness written by David W. Jones and published by Kregel Publications. This book was released on 2017-07-25 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Be faithful in your giving and God will reward you financially. It's not always stated that blatantly but the promises of the Prosperity Gospel--or the name-it-and-claim-it gospel, the health-and-wealth gospel, the word of faith movement, or positive confession theology--are false. Yet its message permeates the preaching of well-known Christian leaders: Joyce Meyer, T. D. Jakes, Joel Osteen, Creflo Dollar, Kenneth and Gloria Copeland, and many more. The appeal of this teaching crosses racial, gender, denominational, and international boundaries. Why are otherwise faithful Christians so easily led astray? Because the Prosperity Gospel contains a grain of biblical truth, greatly distorted. For anyone who knows that Prosperity Gospel theology is wrong but has trouble articulating and refuting the finer points, this concise edition contains all the robust arguments of the hard-hitting original edition in a shorter, more accessible form.

Download or read book Poverty the Bible and Africa written by Isaac Boaheng and published by HippoBooks. This book was released on 2020-08-31 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poverty reduction is a worldwide concern, yet if the church is to play an effective role in its alleviation, an approach that is both biblical and contextual is required. In Poverty, the Bible, and Africa, Isaac Boaheng formulates a theology of poverty that engages Scripture, African traditional wisdom, and contemporary African concerns to create a paradigm for understanding and alleviating poverty in Africa. Boaheng highlights that, whatever our cultural context, God frowns upon materialism, extravagance, and love for riches; yet the author also demonstrates why a contextual theology must address people’s societal and cultural needs alongside spiritual ones. If we desire a model for poverty reduction that is both theologically sound and contextually appropriate, we must facilitate an encounter between the teachings of Scripture and the socio-economic, political, and religious realities of a particular context. Combining in-depth cultural analysis with careful exegetical reflection, this book offers refreshing insight into the challenge of confronting poverty in Africa. Boaheng’s approach, however, is relevant far beyond the continent and is transferable to any context where others are seeking to effectively understand and combat poverty.

Download or read book Creating Wealth by Harnessing Opportunities in Africa written by Lauri E. Elliott and published by Conceptualee Publishing. This book was released on 2011-02-07 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did you know that Africa is a hidden treasure God has prepared to help you restore and/or multiply your assets? On overwhelming majority of the Church believes that Africa is a place that needs to be saved from poverty, disease, and conflict. While these are realities, God's picture is very different. Africa will be a part of God's blue print to save the world and to transfer wealth into His Kingdom. This is the time for Africa to arise and shine (Isaiah 60:1)! It is time for Africa to fulfill its Kingdom destiny in all Seven Mountains - media, government, religion, education, family, celebration/arts, and economy. This book will help align you with God's work in the business and economy sphere in Africa to usher wealth into God's purposes, into your storehouses, into Africa, and to the rest of the world. This book is based on prophecy and biblical premise for Africa's position in the Kingdom brought from Heaven to Earth. But, it also outlines current signs, strategies, and practical pathways to tap into the wealth that God has placed in Africa, both spiritual and natural.

Download or read book Bride Wealth from an African Theological Perspective written by Martin Wesonga and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011-03-01 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bride Wealth from an African Theological Perspective, sets out on the premise that Bride wealth has been a significant point of conflict between Christianity and African culture. For some African Christians have held this practice close to their heart. In various cases, where bride wealth negotiations are taking place, concerns have arisen as to whether this practice conflicts with biblical teachings. This led us to research on bride wealth in our endeavor to help African Christians understand biblical teaching regarding the practice. The goal of this study thus is to reflect theologically on bride wealth in Africa by sampling the Dinka, of the Anglican church of Sudan, and ultimately understand the real meaning of bride wealth in Africa today.
Download or read book Poverty in the Book of Proverbs written by Lechion Peter Kimilike and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2008 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Western interpretations of poverty proverbs in the Old Testament Book of Proverbs have tended to see a status quo acceptance in the ancient texts, thus neglecting existential challenges of the poverty issue. In contrast, Lechion Peter Kimilike argues that African proverbial material on poverty may - when used comparatively to interpret the corresponding Old Testament poverty proverbs - create a more dynamic analysis. The author's new and thought-provoking interpretation suggests «an African transformational hermeneutic» that balances between the questions and methodology of the «global [i.e., western] guild» and the concerns of the African interpretative context.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is a pointer to the occurrence going on in the body of Christ in Africa and Nigeria is used as a case study of this work. Truly, it was the Western that brought to us Christianity but today we are far above them which make some people to affiliate Jesus Christ to Africa. The epidemic in our religious body today made me come up with this write up and I was able to remind us of our source so that Christ can be happy with us. The present challenges in our society such as hunger, immorality, killings etc can be eradicate if our religious leaders can do the real Mission God has commission into our hands.

Book excerpt: "Perhaps no other issues more directly affect the lives of professing Christians as do the issues of health and wealth and their relationship to the will of God.

Based on solid exegesis of the Scriptures, looking at each theme separately, this book suggests that there may be yet a "more excellent way" in viewing these emotionally charged issues."--Page 4 of cover.
