Right now as more details about the CHC pour out and spill into the MSM and tabloids many are shocked by the excesses of the church leaders how they spend lavishly as parishioners made sacrifices to donate to the church. I just want to share this story a Christian friend told me many years ago to warn me about these prosperity gospel churches emerging in Singapore.
A father of a 5 yr old child suffering from cancer invited a pastor to the church to
pray for the child. After visiting he spoke to the father. The father was thinking of using his life savings to send the child to US for treatment. The pastor convinced the father to donate this money to the church so
that the family willl be blessed and the child will be cured "by the grace of God".
After donating the money to the church, the child's condition worsened. The pastor said not to worry the child will get better..a few week later the father could not find the pastor who went to Las Vegas with his family for.a holiday. The young child went into; coma and died. one week before her 6th birthday.
When the pastor came back. the father confronted him to ask why did God allow his young child to die...and why the pastor' promise of blessing for his family did not materialise. The pastor told the father this...God did not bless his family and took his child away
because his faith in God was not strong enough, it was the father's fault the
child died.....the father's heart sank and he became depressed.
On the birthday of his child. the father pour kerosene all.over his body, lit a match
and burned himself to death.
This story was told to me by a disillusion christian who left one of these prosperity mega churches to join a small church where he found truly sincere people devoted to the religion.
We sometimes call propsperity preachers like Kong Hee con men, but some of them are far worse hypocrites than what you can imagine driven by greed for money and pleasure.
