In this video, we are looking at Leroy Thompson and the kind of prosperity preaching that has plagued the church for decades. At some point, we have to ask a serious question: how long can someone stand in a pulpit, talk about money, seeds, wealth, increase, and financial breakthrough, and still call that biblical preaching?

Leroy Thompson is one of the older voices in the prosperity gospel movement, and his message has been centered for years around money, wealth, “money cometh,” financial increase, and seed-faith giving. The problem is not that the Bible never talks about money. The Bible does talk about money. The problem is when money becomes the message, when giving becomes a transaction, and when the pulpit becomes a place where people are pressured to sow so they can supposedly unlock financial miracles.
The New Testament does not present pastors as spiritual salesmen. It does not present giving as a way to manipulate God. It does not teach that the gospel is a formula for getting rich. Yet prosperity preachers have built entire ministries around making people believe that if they sow the right seed, say the right confession, honor the right “man of God,” or give at the right moment, wealth is supposed to come to them.
That is not Christianity. That is not the gospel. That is not biblical giving.
Paul warned about people who would imagine that godliness is a means of gain. 1 Timothy 6:5 speaks of those who are “depraved in mind and deprived of the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain.” Then Paul says in 1 Timothy 6:6, “But godliness with contentment is great gain.” That is the exact opposite of prosperity preaching. Prosperity preaching trains people to chase more. Scripture teaches contentment in Christ.
Paul continues in 1 Timothy 6:9-10 by warning that those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, a snare, and many harmful desires. He says the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. So why are so many pulpits stirring up the very desire Scripture warns against?
The apostles did not preach “money cometh.” They preached Christ crucified. They preached repentance. They preached the resurrection. They preached forgiveness of sins. They preached holiness. They preached endurance through suffering. They preached generosity, yes, but never as a get-rich formula.
2 Corinthians 9:7 says each one must give as he has decided in his heart, “not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” That means biblical giving is not supposed to be manipulated, pressured, hyped, or tied to exaggerated promises of financial return.
The prosperity gospel often takes real biblical words like “seed,” “harvest,” “blessing,” “favor,” and “increase,” then twists them into a money system. But the Bible is not a casino. The church is not a business opportunity. God is not an investment machine. Giving to God is worship, not a financial scheme.
Jesus warned in Matthew 6:24 that you cannot serve God and money. That is a serious warning. Yet many prosperity preachers seem to spend more time talking about money than Christ, more time talking
