This article examines the capitalist tendencies in Jeremiah 6:13–20 and their implications for Nigeria. Jeremiah 6:13–20 presents a critique of greed and corruption among the leaders and people of Judah, denouncing materialistic pursuits prioritizing wealth over justice. In Nigeria, prophets and priests give prophecies for self-gain, leading to family disintegration due to deceitful practices. This is a qualitative study using the narrative method and content analysis of secondary literature. Key themes include unrestrained greed, corruption, neglect of justice, false security in wealth, and the consequences of unchecked capitalism.

The study reveals a stark contrast between the ethical teachings of Christianity and the capitalist tendencies observed within the Nigerian church.13–20 condemns greed, deceit, and false teaching, urging a return to biblical principles.Pastors should prioritize preaching holiness and righteousness over wealth, while churches should advocate for a just economic system and ethical practices to promote community welfare and spiritual integrity.

Further research should investigate the specific economic factors driving the prosperity gospels popularity within Nigerian churches, exploring how socioeconomic vulnerabilities contribute to its appeal. A comparative study examining the impact of different denominations theological stances on their engagement with capitalist practices in Nigeria could reveal best practices for maintaining ethical integrity. Additionally, research could focus on developing and evaluating community-based programs within churches that promote financial literacy, ethical entrepreneurship, and social justice initiatives, offering practical alternatives to wealth-focused ideologies and fostering a more equitable and compassionate society. These studies should be conducted with a focus on understanding the lived experiences of church members and the broader societal context, ensuring that research findings are relevant and actionable for promoting positive change.
