Prosperity Gospelโ. At his United Church Science of Living Institute in New York he would tell his congregation โclose your eyes and see green. Money up to your armpits, a roomful of money and there you are, just tossing around in it like a swimming pool.
Reverend IkeYou canโt lose with the stuff I use!โ; โSome may say money is the root of all evil, but being in poverty is a damn shame!โ; โThe best thing you can do for the poor is not be one of themโ; โGod doesnโt want you to have your pie-in-the-sky, by and by, when you die. He wants you to have it now with a cherry on top!โ; and โIf itโs that difficult for a rich man to get into heaven, think how terrible it must be for a poor man to get in. He doesnโt even have a bribe for the gatekeeper!
