This book delves into the pervasive influence of the prosperity gospel across Africa, exploring how its tenets have reshaped the spiritual landscape and the minds of its adherents. It critically analyzes a transactional approach to faith, where the core message of salvation and soul-winning is overshadowed by promises of instant, unearned wealth. The author scrutinizes the methods employed by preachers who emphasize 'miracle money' and divine financial intervention, often divorced from the principles of hard work and diligent effort. The exploration focuses on the psychological and societal effects of this 'transactional gospel' on the African continent. It questions how this theological framework impacts individual motivation, community development, and the authentic practice of Christian faith. By examining the motivations behind this movement and its consequences, the book seeks to foster a deeper understanding of its appeal and to encourage a return to the foundational principles of spiritual guidance and holistic human development, rather than a sole focus on material blessings.
