Controversial Israeli televangelist Benny Hinn, known for his massive “healing crusades" and also associated with what has become known as prosperity gospel, has announced that he is undergoing a correction of his theology that made him and his family millions.
In a Facebook live broadcast with his followers, Benny Hinn who has been an advocate of obtaining blessings through sowing of seeds, faithful payments of tithes and offerings, delivered a full-throated rejection of the practice.
He further stated that he will never ask for $1,000 or whatever amount again because he thinks the Holy Ghost is just fed up with it. Revealing that some Pastors may not invite him to their churches again to preach and raise money for "church projects", Benny added that the Gospel “is not for sale.”
“I’m sorry to say that prosperity has gone a little crazy and I’m correcting my own theology and you need to all know it. Because when I read the Bible now, I don’t see the Bible in the same eyes I saw 20 years ago,” Hinn said as his followers rejoiced.
“I think it’s an offense to the Lord, it’s an offense to say give $1,000. I think it’s an offense to the Holy Spirit to place a price on the Gospel. I’m done with it. I will never again ask you to give $1,000 or whatever amount, because I think the Holy Ghost is just fed up with it.
“Did you hear me?” Hinn asked as his audience responded affirmatively in high spirits. “I think it hurts the Gospel, so I’m making this statement for the first time in my life and frankly, I don’t care what people think about me anymore,” he continued.
“When they invite me to telethons I think they will not like me anymore. Because when you look at the word of God … if I hear one more time, break the back of debt with $1,000, I’m gonna rebuke them. I think that’s buying the Gospel. That’s buying the blessing. That’s grieving the Holy Spirit. … If you are not giving because you love Jesus, don’t bother giving,” Hinn argued. “I think giving has become such a gimmick; it’s making me sick to my stomach.”

The Bible really teaches prosperity in all spheres of life.Don't discount God's prosperity for His people. The problem is how you had handled your prosperity preaching; God is never fed up with prosperity. 3 John 2 : Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
Eiii Bra Benny nie!...after all the millions now you're sick to the stomach that you don belly full but see you will not enter heaven to be rebuke it's hell... isn't this simple LUKE 19- 8 But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount.” 9 Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. 10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
After so many years, the truth is coming out. I have never believed in giving money for wealth and I will never believe in it. wealth is wisdom and hard work, and sometimes destiny.
You finished enriching yourself so you are saying what? Return all the money to the people, then your hands can be clean.
Thank God for this humility, may other men of follow same and drop those their erroneous teachings. Amen
I PRAY THE GHANAIAN PASTORS WILL LEARN FROM BENN HINN THAT THE BLESSINGS OF GOD CANNOT BE SOLD. THEY ARE FREELY GIVEN BY GOD AND WE MUST RECEIVE IT FREELY N
