Years ago the Lord told Ken, 'I’m going to hold you responsible for My message of prosperity in this earth.' He said that He’d held Oral Roberts responsible for ministering healing and Kenneth E. Hagin for teaching faith. In the same way, He was going to hold this ministry responsible for teaching His people that it’s His will for them to prosper financially, and for showing them, from His Word, how to do it.
In case you’ve ever wondered, that’s why Ken and I continue to preach to you about prosperity. It’s why, despite the criticism we get from the world and even from some Christians, we’re preaching it stronger now than ever. God gave us this assignment and we understand how important it is in our day.
We’re the only generation of believers ever to have so many ways to reach people all over the world with the gospel!
Think about it for a moment: Less than 100 years ago, when the British evangelist Smith Wigglesworth wanted to come preach in America, he had to travel for a month just to get here. These days, we can get on an airplane and be on the other side of the world preaching in a matter of hours.
We can broadcast the good news to people via radio, television, satellite and the internet. We even have our own TV network so we can make the Word available to millions 24/7 on VICTORY Channel®.
All the technology necessary to tell the world about Jesus is available now. All we need, to make the most of it, is the money to put it all to work.
It’s no wonder the devil keeps fighting the prosperity message like he does. His worst nightmare, in the time we’re living in, is believers who know the Word, walk by faith and can afford to do whatever God tells them.
Jesus said, “This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come” (Matthew 24:14). The devil knows that the end is going to be bad for him. So, desperate to choke off the financial resources the Church needs to get its job done, he continually persecutes those of us who believe in and preach biblical prosperity.
