MY alter ego, anthonyinkc-that's me-asked a series of questions about the materialistic lives of some of America's biggest tv preachers. I got a very negative response from some fans of multimillionaire televangelists. I used reputable links from news sites, and other christian websites to prove my point about the lives of these millionaires.
For example, Jerry Falwell recieving 3.5 million from Rev. Moon-who claims he's the real messiah. And Benny Hinn and Joyce Meyer's very, very rich lives-combined they own 9 MANSIONS! Or Jesse Duplantis buying a 18 million dollar jet-while his city was underwater from Katrina. And his ministry was claiming near poverty to help his neighbors. Cefro Dollar$ 2 jets, etc
Of course love of material goods, and riches is forbidden in the bible. But some people on here defended their rich lifestyles, false revelations supposedly direct from God, etc.
So to make them happy, my question is....WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE MULTIMILLIONAIRE TELEVANGELIST?

Big, fat, John Hagee.
He's my kind of guy:
"The couple (Hagee & first wife) was divorced in September 1975.[11] On Mother's Day of 1975, Dr. Hagee founded Castle Hills Assembly, later known as the Church of Castle Hills. On April 12, 1976, Hagee married Diana M. Castro, a 24-year-old former congregant at Trinity Church. "

My favorite mutimillionare is Othman ibn Affan
he was millionaire (& this is not forbidden is Islam).
he was the apostle of love & peace..... he did his utmost to counter trickery and violence with love and kindness.
he spent his money in sake of helping others...thus ...he lived a rich lifestyle both on earth & in the hearts
Othman was a cloth merchant. His business grew rapidly and he came to be looked upon as a top business man of the city. He often visited Syria in connection with his business. Flourishing business brought him both wealth and position.
However, Othman was an extremely kindhearted man. He looked upon wealth as a means of helping others. If money could remove suffering, Othman was always ready to help.
When the Muslim refugees first came to Medina, they had great difficulty in getting drinking water. There was just one well but it was owned by a Jew. The Jew would not allow the refuges to get water from it. So the holy Prophet said, "who is there that will buy this well for the Muslims? Allah will reward him a fountain in Paradise." Othman at once responded. He brought the well for twenty thousand dirhams and gave it away for the free use of Muslims.
When the Muslims grew in numbers, the Prophet's Mosque became too small for them. The holy Prophet said, "Who will spend money for the extension of the mosque?" Othman again came forward. He bought the adjoining piece of land for the extension.
In the ninth year of Hijra, reports reached the Holy Prophet that the Emperor of Byzantium was preparing a march on Medina. These reports disturbed the Muslims. The Holy Prophet began to counter preparations. He appealed to people to give whatever they could. Othman gave one thousand camels, fifty horses and one thousand pieces of gold. The holy Prophet looked at the heap of gold and declared, "Whatever Othman does, from this day on, will do him no harm."

When you have the blessing from God, what we receive is just an effect of the blessing that we already have. We have blessings from God when we tithe and when we walk in His righteousness and when we trust Him to move on our behalf.
" Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it."
(Malachi 3:10, )
"The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, and He adds no sorrow with it."(Proverbs 10:22)
