Jesus warned that anyone following after him would suffer like he did and be persecuted. How does this sound like a bed of roses?

Jesus said in the Gospel of Luke chapter 9 verse 25 "If anyone wants to come after me they must deny themselves, take up their cross and follow me". A cross in Jesus day was a humiliating instrument of death not a chariot or silver coin! But I guess teaching this message want pack out stadiums and grow mega churches! Jesus said people would be persecuted for following Him. It is truly pathetic that the Christian churches who buy into this Prosperity junk are not being prepared for what Jesus really said about the latter days in Matthew 24 he described it as birth pangs and the beginning of sorrows, with wars and rumors of wars, famines, pestilences and earthquakes in diverse places. I dare anyone to ask these name it and claim it people why the Apostle Paul who established the early Gentile Churches did not name and claim and blab and grab for money and a way out of those beatings and shipwrecks and the beheading he got from Nero that ended his life? In second Corinthians chapter 11 verse verse 24-29 the great Apostle Paul gives a list of his sufferings why didn't he just think on positive things and make positive confessions like Word of fake opps faith Preachers like Kenneth Copeland, Creflo Dollar and the rest of them teach? As of yet no one has explained this! I guess too much talk of suffering won't make them rich or pack our their Churches or stadiums, now will it?
