What gospel are you following?

The prosperity gospel, also known as the health and wealth gospel, has swept across Africa in recent years.

In Nairobi, tens of thousands of people gathered recently for the Rhema Feast, which describes itself as “a non-denominational apostolic movement” which “draws Christians from every walk of life, who share … a hunger for God”.

The preaching was largely motivational, including phrases such as “Declare what you want to see!” and “Refuse to remain comfortable with smallness!”. The conference is reported to have ended with an apostolic declaration of fire and one unmistakeable assurance: you are about to recover all.
