Sheffield, UK. I am a widow and after just over two years my friends told me to try internet dating. As I was in my 4. I thought I would join a site for over 4. I thought would be safe.

We were chatting for a few weeks and he suggested going onto messenger as it would save money on subscriptions. He told me things like he was also a widower and told me about his wife etc. This went on for 3 months. I gave him my mobile and he rang me each evening and we would chat for 5 or 1. He even rang me when I was on holiday in Spain. When I came back we chatted for another couple of weeks and then he asked me for some money so that he could home and we could be together. I was so gullible for the love but as soon as he asked me for money I cut him off completely. The best advice I can give you is if anyone asks for money or your bank details to transfer money into cut them off totally and report them to the site you originally met on. I also did some checking on other sites and also facebook and reported him on each site in a hope that nobody else can be conned by him. But I will say if they sound too good to be true cut them off and dont even say anything to them just get rid of them as soon as possible for the sake of your heart and in a lot of circumstances your pocket.

Prosperity Gospel Gone Wild Joel Osteen and Myles Munroe charging over 1. Watch Church Services. Osteens event will charge as much as 1. Peter 2 1  But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. In what is just the latest excess in the name it and claim it Prosperity Gospel movement, Joel Osteen, pastor of Lakewood Church, the biggest church in America with approximately 4. Night of Hope sermon in Key Arena in Seattle Washington B E As the link to the January 2. While church services regularly have offerings where members can volunteer to make a donation to support a ministry, there is no Biblical support for cover charges just to hear a church service or increasing pricing to ridiculous levels for preferred seating. How fortunate we are that Jesus Christ The Lord never charged any of his followers money to hear Him speak or had preferred seating for a select few who were rich and could really pay for a good seat to hear Him preach. And when Jesus sent out His disciples on their own to go to different towns to preach the Gospel He told them. Matthew 1. 0 8. And what is Osteen actually preaching once you pay a cover charge for entering church  A false message. As he says in his book, Live Your Best Life Now  Its Gods will for you to live in prosperity instead of poverty. Its Gods will for you to pay your bills and not be in debt. Its Gods will for you to live in health and not in sickness all the days of your life. This sums up Joel Osteens prosperity gospel message, also known as the Word of Faith Movement, which is based on the false idea that a Christian can use their faith to obtain material gain and wealth. Other nuances include speaking wealth into being by pronouncing the riches before they arrive. At the heart of it, it is commanding God to provide a material blessing as if it is the individual who has power over the universe, fate and even God. The Bible says otherwise. Jesus Christ said Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal 2. Er Season 13 Episode 3 Watch Online. F or where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. As Christians, our focus should not be on gaining material wealth. Christians can work, make incomes and enjoy material success, if it is Gods will for us. But it is certainly not our goal or purpose on this Earth. In becoming a Christian, believers are to surrender their sinful desires and worldly lusts to let the desires of Jesus and His righteousness fill us up. It is about living for Gods will, not our own. And Jesus will is not focused on our being wealthy and prosperous. He explained this in a parable He spoke 1. And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me. And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness desiring material gain for a mans life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully 1. And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits And he said, This will I do I will pull down my barns, and build greater and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God. Luke 1. 2In this parable, notice Jesus begins in verse 1. Constant concern for material gain is not good, in fact it is a violation of the 1. Commandment which instructs us not to desire the things others possess. And in the parable Jesus speaks of a man who was rich and successful to the point that he could not even store everything he had. Now this was not the sin. Success in and of itself, when lawfully gained, is not a bad thing in the Bible. It was what followed afterwards that was at issue. Watch Looking: The Movie Streaming on this page. He stated to his soul, that he was now set for years to come, so he could relax, eat, drink and be merry. The wealthy mans misplaced confidence in his wealth made the man so blind that he assumed he knew how long his life would be. He gave no credit to God for the crops growing so well and then showed he had no fear of God by his boastful attitude and ideas that he knew his own lifespan. This is what Jesus means by being rich towards God. What God wants is not our order and commands to Him. He wants our love, worship, respect and thanks. God is the one gives us life. Who blesses us. And the only one who can provide eternal life. The prosperity Gospel goes against this by making worldly prosperity guaranteed and just a matter of increasing faith to receive it. This me centered false theology has exploded in church across the world and led to great material gain for the pastors. Notice the passage at the opening of the article states And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you. The Prosperity Gospel preachers use human desire for wealth, health and success as their means to make millions upon millions of dollars. All the while they distort the Bible and even go so far as to deny Jesus Christ. Here is Pastor Osteen on Larry King Live These are tell tale signs of a false teacher. Not only did  Osteen deny Jesus, a caller had to quote Scripture to Him to remind Him that Jesus unequivocally stated. Father God but by me. The Lord Jesus left no wiggle room. A basic concept of Christianity is Jesus Christ being the exclusive way to Heaven. Jesus went on to say but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. So for Pastor Osteen to say its not for me to judge in the case of someone who clearly does not believe in Jesus he was denying the Lord that brought them. Osteen, supposedly, the Number 1 pastor in America says its not my business. And he even indicates that people he has met in India who are not Christians are going to Heaven as well. This is a blatant denial of the Gospel, Jesus Christ and the Bible. Again, we stress that it is not wrong for Christians or pastors to make an income. Joel Osteen has written many books and rightfully deserves the income from the millions of copies that he has sold. But it is the doctrine that is being preached that is at issue as it turns the focus from eternal life to the present life and emphasizes personal desire of following the desires of God.
