How old is the Prosperity Gospel?

The vlogger in the following 7 minute video reads critiques from St. Augustine of Hippo about preachers who wrongly preached the prosperity gospel; he then explains the errors, and explains what the Christian faith really requires.   So, regardless of what you think about the prosperity gospel, please listen to what one of the giants of the Christian theologians had to say about it.

“They That Wait Upon The Lord…”

But they that wait upon the Lord – The word rendered ‘wait upon’ here (from קוה qâvâh), denotes properly to wait, in the sense of expecting. The phrase, ‘to wait on Yahweh,’ means to wait for his help; that is, to trust in him, to put our hope or confidence in him. …It means that the people of God who trust in him shall become strong in faith; able to contend with their spiritual foes, to gain the victory over their sins, and to discharge aright the duties, and to meet aright the trials of life. God gives them strength, if they seek him in the way of his appointment – a promise which has been verified in the experience of his people in every age.
