Prosperity Theology
Prosperity Theology is a religious belief system that suggests financial blessing and physical well-being are the will of a higher power for believers. This theology teaches that faith, positive speech, and donations to religious leaders or institutions will lead to material wealth and success in all areas of life. Followers are encouraged to pursue prosperity as a sign of God's favor and to interpret poverty or illness as a lack of faith or spiritual alignment. Critics argue that Prosperity Theology can promote a materialistic and self-centered approach to spirituality, and may exploit vulnerable individuals for financial gain.
