Personally I do not believe in Plant a Seed the way Benny Hinn puts it, the way 70% of pastors in Kenya put it. I remember 1 specific preaching where Benny Hinn said God told him to give $1000 and after that God blessed him with I-can't-remember-what. Then he told people in his church to plant a seed of $1000 and they will be blessed with financial increase. I wish I could get a log of all those people who gave $1000 and see what financial increase they got. I never hear the testimonies after the prayers.
Then there's Apostle Martin Ssuna of Kenya. I was in the service when he said that God told him that 120 people will come forward and give Ksh1000 and they will be blessed with financial increase by the end of that year. More than 120 people went forward. So, did God miscount? Or was the message a fake? Secondly, did all the more than 120 people who went forward get financial increase that year? Is these pastors are so sure about their "prophecies" then they should follow up on the testimonies.
A preacher guest at NPC Valleyroad, I can't remember his name, but he was called Prophet someone, came to a youth convention a couple of years ago. I remember very well when he "prophesied" that the conference will be full by the end of the week. I was very convinced by the prophesies he was saying about people, infact I was so afraid he would call me and tell me something about me that I didn't think anyone else knew. He was doing that to various people. BUT, when he talked about the convention being full, I remember thinking "yah right!" This conference has been dwindling in number over the years and so has the quality how will people suddenly decide to come in 100's by the end of the week. At the end of the week, it was just as empty as the 1st day. I wish I had the confidence then to ask him why he gave us a fake prophecy.
I do not believe in any televangelist that has an MPESA number at the bottom of the screen. If you serve the bigger God why are you a begger? Did Jesus ever say please support my ministry buy my music. Christian artists, if your music is good enough we will buy it. The reason why people don't buy your music or pay for your concerts is not because Christians don't support each other, its because your music is terrible or you are trying sing like Nonini. Useless! Kwanza there was a christian rapper who used to rap like tupac. Nonsense. And they played his music in Hopefm and Family fm. Anyway, today is not about music.
So, where was I? Oh yah. If you serve the bigger God, why do you always seem to be begging. If what you preach is sound and true, we will all want to listen to you. We will always give offering your ministry will grow without you ever asking for a dime. Ask Bonke and Billy Graham. Ask Jesus. Jesus ministry grew from 1 to 12 in 3 years, 12 to120 buy the time he ascended 120 to 3000 on the day of pentecost then to uncountable until Rome wanted to eliminate them: WITHOUT ASKING FOR A DIME. Na wewe unataka nikutime mia tano via MPESA what is wrong with you?
Freely receive, freely give. Simon the magician in Acts 8, wanted to buy the power of the Holy Spirit from Peter with silver coins. Peter condemned him. There are people who charge miracles. They are called witch-doctors. Anyone who says plant a seed in my church and God will bless you is in the same class with witchdoctors.
