Two issues here. First is being wealthy. Second is putting fear in people to enhance wealth. I have a problem with both.
First, being wealthy. People think they are giving their money to the Lord and His servants, and that money becomes used for their own personal pleasures. JM boasts how much she does and tithes, yet lavishes herself and her family like no minister in history. Proper ministers must be right with the Lord's money, befitting the gospel.
Second, she uses guilt to promote giving, by distorting and exaggerating the matters of "sowing seeds." She is a powerful manipulator with a trail of damaged followers. The Bible speaks harshly of these ones. Those who merchandise the word of God for personal benefit.
