Whatever Should One Do in A Nation or Ministry Where  Capital or Capitalism is Non-Existent?

Similar to the American (maximizing profits and the accumulation of wealth) idol, I have yet to discover a mega ministry yet, where the spirit of capitalism is not its idol. 


As a post-modern minister, yet a student of religion, it appears to me that 'money', instead of Jesus is king in the mega movement. In it, 'money answers all things', while Jesus is an after thought. Observe, more time is spent talking about money, raising money and planning events that relates to money than God. Kweflo, preaches the following, "the money is coming"! Non-mega ministers and ministries, still teach and preach that, "Jesus is coming"! 


"Some people", not God, "have got to have it", as a measure of success "money, money, money". Is this a spirit of error? Let's keep a close watch on this bubble and money trend in the mega's? Observe their members and ask yourselves, which do they have more of, 'fruits of the spirit or money', fine cars and other non-salubrious accoutrement? And to individuals who would quote the scripture, 


'Money answers all things'. Whatever God you believe in, would laugh at that scripture. The 'money king', is a poor substitute in Christianity for 'the real King', wouldn't you think? Go and sell all you have, vs. go and accumulate all you can in the money changer temple, which is it? Just my opinion!


Test everything, let's see where this, preachers in personal jets, driving luxury cars, wearing Armani suits ... trend goes, for better is the end of a thing than the beginning and many of the megas, who rode the wave, in its current iteration are beginning to foreclose.  Imagine what could be done without the 'unrighteous' mammon, and a bit more faith (the substance of the thing hoped for, and the evidence of that which is unseen).  American Christian capitolists, should be very cautious - money, again, does not answer all things!

Wave Offerings: Is it true, that on occasion, Pastor Kweflo Dollar, has his audiences to take out of their pockets and pursues, currency, to be hat is waved over their heads, while shouting, 'the money is coming, the money is coming? The shout inside of the church used to be, "Jesus is coming, Jesus is coming'.  Oops, and is this  a distraction and the spirit of error?
