Hello,
I need some clarity on this issue as it has bugged me for the longest time. I don't know if this is the correct forum for this thread, but I wanted to throw this out, especially to Americans.
In the UK we have GOD TV on SKY. We watch a particular Christian channel running through their annual fund raising marathon, showing important Christian guests, speakers and worship leaders espousing that particular TV Ministries Godly credentials and if you give a seed you will expect a blessing.
question:
Why is it that they feel that if you give a one off seed offering(money)to their particular ministry, that you will get blessed or have your prayers answered, while the same person may have tithed to their local church for years. What is so special about these TV ministries that appear to override years of giving to a local church?
I also read of testimonies of people who send an offering, again to a TV or famous ministry and get blessed straight away, but these same people may have again been giving to their local church for years.
Why are TV ministries more anointed than local churches?
Also If you send a prayer request to a famous ministry, suddenly the prayers answered, according to some testimonies I have heard and read.
Again what makes TV or famous ministry prayers more "lucrative" than your own?
If anyone out there has a testimony of this sort, please enlighten me then I know that for my prayers to be answered more quickly, then I just have to find a TV ministry to hook up with.
Excuse my cynicism, I am just a little puzzled...
