SMH!
Just been handed a 'prayer request'form by some Nigerian sounding chaps doing the rounds in my hood.
At the bottom of the form there's a sub heading. Let me quote verbatim
TESTIMONY
I met Bishop Daniel Alade Johnson a prophet of God at Kitengela one month ago, He called five of us out of the congregation and he said is using us as a prove that he carries anointing for wealth, he prayed and told us within sixty days, we will be rich and comfortable, two weeks after the encounter, my business turned around more than 100% everything about me is changed completely, he is actually sent by God to Kenya to destroy yoke of poverty praise the Lord...Patrick Wanjiri

These charlatans are relentless... ati sent by god to destroy the yoke of poverty in Kenya?
In spite of the clarity of scripture...
Ist Timothy 6
Quote:who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain.
6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. 8 But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. 9 Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
Many will be deceived.
