Dec 29, 2022: Church Leaders: Kenneth Copeland: ‘I Will Never Have COVID’ Because ‘I Walk by Faith’
On a “Believer’s Voice of Victory” TV broadcast last week, evangelist Kenneth Copeland declared that following Jesus leads to “divine health”—including protection from COVID-19.
During the Christmas Eve message, titled “Be Set Free From Worry and Cares,” Copeland speaks about 2 Corinthians 5:7 and walking by faith, not by sight. At one point he tells viewers, “If you know what to do in the natural and you know what to do in the supernatural, you can walk in divine health. And that’s what we’re talking about. So I believe it, and I walk by faith, therefore I will never have COVID of any kind. Amen.”

Jan 15, 2023: Tauranga/Whangamatā lawyer-cum-author Neil Evans’ latest fiction offering Snake Oil tells the tale of a Joseph, a dodgy car salesman-type-turned-charismatic pastor from Hamilton who’s looking to make a quick buck after setting up as a sermon franchisee.
In terms of source inspiration, Evans said he based the Joseph character upon a mixture of multi-millionaire “televangelist preachers like Joel Osteen and Kenneth Copeland”.
After some missteps, which include an affair with the sister of a mobster, Joseph is faced with blackmail, and the book takes a sinister twist.
“Snake Oil develops well, and the characters are believable and relatable. Loved the pace and storyline, it’s a good read. Love the fact that Neil is also local and has a day job, an inspiration for lazy writers like me. Drugs, sex, murder - Snake Oil has it all. Well worth the effort.”
As well as being as a busy lawyer and budding author, Neil Evans was recently elected to the Whangamatā Community Board, is the chaplain to Whangamatā Rugby Club and has represented New Zealand in tag football in the over-55 age group - appearing in three World Cups.

Perhaps one of the most talked-about preachers because of his lavish spending habits is the Evangelical preacher Kenneth Copeland. This man's success as a televangelist is unmatched, owning a 1500-acre campus ground for his Kenneth Copeland Ministries. Despite his $760 million net worth, he was heavily criticized for owning three luxurious private jets, which, in his defense, he says is necessary to 'talk to God' because he didn't want to 'get in a tube with a bunch of demons'. |

Sept 19, 2021:
The first church I went to eventually dived into prosperity teaching nonsense. The experience has left me somewhat discerning and I avoid those type of churches....like Joel Osteen, Paula White, Ken Copeland and a host of others. My late mother use to listen to Osteen because she said he made her "feel good." Eating cheesecake makes me feel good...I would hope to get something more out of church then the feeling that I just ate some cheesecake.

July 8, 2021: The Citizen: A peek at the system churning out super-rich pastors
The richest of them is Kenneth Copeland. Living in a $20 million mansion, and owning a $36 million jet, Copeland is the poster boy for superrich preachers. In fact, with an estimated net worth of at least $300 million, no one else comes close. While names such as Creflo Dollar, TD Jakes, TB Joshua, Joel Osteen, and Benny Hinn are more recognisable, those in the know understand who the true prosperity gospel patriarchs are, and Copeland ranks very highly

47. Kenneth Copeland: He runs Kenneth Copeland Ministries and was one of several televangelists whose finances were investigated from 2007 to 2011 by Republican Senato Charles Grassley of Iowa. According to an article by the Associated Press that ran in 2008, “His ministry’s 1 500-acre campus, behind an iron gate a half-hour drive from Fort Worth includes a church, a private airstrip, a hangar for the ministry’s $17,5 million jet and other aircraft, and a $6 million church owned lake-front mansion.

It’s not clear whether those figures include other earnings, such as special offerings for guest preaching or book royalties.” |
