Prosperity Gospel in Africa

There was a link to this video in my Monday Morning Insight e-mail yesterday. It gave me a another perspective on why it is so important to strive for worship that is in spirit and truth, and also why it is important to rebuke/speak against those who are false teachers. The prosperity gospel flourished in America, and was exported around the world. As this video shows, the worship that is taking place in these churches is not focused on the gospel of Jesus Christ at all. The corruption of one part of the church in America has infected another part of the church on the other side of the world. Reminds me of Paul's yeast metaphor, "Don't you know that a little yeast works through the whole batch of dough?" (1 Cor 5:6). Lord restore your church to the truth, here in America, in Africa and around the world. Forgive us for spreading this other gospel to our brothers and sisters in Africa.
