The focus on prosperity in Nigerian churches is largely a response to poverty. Millions are unemployed or underpaid, so the promise of financial breakthrough is appealing. Pastors often emphasize giving and receiving because it attracts crowds and funds. The danger is that holiness, discipleship, and integrity get sidelined. People begin to see Christianity as a formula for wealth instead of a relationship with God. This trend has created shallow faith where many are disappointed when wealth does not come. The solution is balance. Preaching prosperity is not wrong, but it must be grounded in righteousness and character. Churches that combine practical life lessons, entrepreneurship skills, and spiritual maturity will produce believers who succeed both financially and spiritually. Without balance, the prosperity gospel will keep producing frustration and weak discipleship.
