Good -Life Devotional: Preachers Who Equate Wealth with Godliness: THE HIDDEN FUEL BEHIND BAD GOVERNANCE

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

   In many societies today, a growing breed of preachers equate material wealth with godliness, presenting prosperity as the ultimate sign of divine favor. This distorted theology is not only misleading spiritually but also dangerous socially and politically. These preachers, driven by greed, often align themselves with corrupt leaders, forming unholy alliances that devastate nations.

   Scripture warns us about such people. “They conceive mischief and bring forth iniquity, and their womb prepares deceit” (Job 15:35 AMP). Their teachings encourage exploitation rather than righteousness, justifying theft and oppression under the guise of blessing. They refuse to call corrupt leaders to repentance because doing so would threaten their own access to wealth and influence. Ezekiel 13:22 condemns this: “Because with lies you have made the heart of the righteous sad…and strengthened the hands of the wicked, so that he does not turn from his wicked way to be saved.”

   Such preachers contribute directly to national decay. Isaiah 5:13 declares, “Therefore My people go into exile for their lack of knowledge; and their honorable men are famished, and their common people are parched with thirst.” When truth is silenced and falsehood exalted, justice is perverted. These preachers often hold sway over the judicial system, twisting justice to favor their corrupt partners, as Isaiah 1:23 laments: “Your rulers are rebels and companions of thieves; everyone loves a bribe and chases after rewards.”

   God’s judgment is sure. “For the company of the godless shall be barren…fire will consume their tents of bribery” (Job 15:34). “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil…Therefore, as fire devours stubble, so their root will be as rottenness” (Isaiah 5:20–24). God's justice will expose and consume all who trade His truth for personal gain.

 In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and deliverance from false preachers .

PRAYERS: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to destroy poverty.
