Prosperity gospel is a religious belief that suggests faith, positive speech, and donations to religious causes can lead to financial success and physical well-being. It is often associated with certain Christian denominations and emphasizes that God rewards believers with material wealth and health as a sign of their faith. Proponents of prosperity gospel often cite biblical verses to support their claims, such as those from Malachi and Matthew. Critics argue that this teaching can exploit vulnerable individuals and misinterpret traditional Christian teachings about suffering and humility.
