Criticism
Demola's teachings fall under the Word of Faith or prosperity theology movement. This theology has been criticized by theologians of almost every stripe among academia for its lack of exegesis and the consequential ethics of its adherents by way of attitude (greed, idolatry, covetousness rather than contentment, generosity and stewardship) and actions (lying rather than truth telling about one's own health and finances).
