This thing will end in "we are all saying the same thing".

WE ARE NOT SAYING THE SAME THINGS.

I made this mistake once with a Prosperity preacher who thought we could be friends.

But we are not saying the same thing.

What we are saying, what the Lord Himself, the Prophets and Apostles teach us is that -

1- The goal is to do God's will. The desire is to serve God. The desire is not to be rich. This is clearly what Paul teaches.

Believers can be rich in pursuing God's will. Believers can be poor in pursuing God's will. God's will can demand poverty, middle class or you to be rich. It is God who gives one 5, another 2 another 1 talent. David served God and so did Elijah. Elijah was not rich not by any demented stretch of the imagination. John the Baptist that God said is greatest of men born of women was not rich, not even in the most twisted Bible reading possible.

2- God will provide for us to do His will. We will not all be rich but we will have at the least food and clothing like the ravens and Lillies. We will have enough to do God's will.

3 - Jesus did not die for people to be rich. Jesus didn't die to change material state in this world. Jesus died to save our souls from sin. Jesus died so that we can have the true solution to poverty, eternity with Him.

This is why poor believers are not less in their salvation if that poverty is from serving God.

4- Poverty is not the evil. Riches is not the good. Having Jesus is the good. So we can rejoice even in having little if God uses it to keep us with Jesus. We don't judge God's goodness by human material state but by His ability to bring all things to perfection on that day He returns. This is why the Apostles can teach patience till death and Paul can celebrate weakness.

5- Believers ought to live their lives with this sobriety. Let the rich not dress to turn heads. Let the poor not hide in shame in the presence of the rich. Let every man's boast be in that He has true life, who is Jesus. Jesus is our life.

6- Money is not necessary to do God's will. It makes doing God's will MORE COMFORTABLE but it's absence does not stop God's will.

Thus believers should not spend their lives thinking of money. Their heart should be on God who is their true treasure

It's a nice to have but even if we don't have it we can fulfil God's plan for us. In God's hands, my visions is not a mere hallucination because I'm poor. And we have so many heroes of faith in the bible proving it. If money was the inhibitor to fulfil God's plan then the early church would have failed. Elijah and Elisha failed. The Apostles failed. Even the Lord failed. These people didn't need riches to do what they did.

What Prosperity preachers are saying is that:

1- God wants every believer to be rich or at least God does not want anyone to be poor in this passing world.

2- Jesus died for riches or at least Jesus died so that no one should be poor.

3- If you are not rich or if you are poor it is because you're not doing something spiritual.

Because Jesus died for material things, it means your lack of material things is a result of your poor performance in spiritual things one way or another. If you are sinful and rich it always means you've gotten some principles right which poor sanctified people have failed to do.

4- Poverty itself is evil. Poverty itself is like sin. God cannot be in your poverty. God's will cannot demand poverty from you. God's will must always mean enjoyment and status. If God sends you, you cannot be poor I'd you're faithful.

5- Money is mandatory to do God's will. How much money you have is proportional to how much of God's will you do. Thus the value of a man is in how much money he has. If a man is poor he can't do much. If a man does not have money, even his God given visions are hallucinations.

Thus believes should think money. They can think of God but they should always think money.

WE ARE NOT SAYING THE SAME THINGS!!!

Life is a leveler. Live it with purpose. The key is to keep working hard and getting better at what you do no matter the cost. At some point, the scripture that says "seeth though a man diligent in his business, he will stand before kings and not unknown men" will be fulfilled.

To mark Independence we've released a short film highlighting the life & struggle of the average Nigerian which can lead us to becoming Uncle Thomas’ aka the ultimate pessimist.

Netflix promises an escape, but can never deliver.
Money promises happiness, but will never satisfy.
Fame promises immortality, but won’t ever last.
Only joy in Jesus can deliver what it promises — fully and forever.

[Desiring God @desiringGod]

Attending church, giving your money, taking communion, and even getting baptized doesn’t make you a Christian. You need a new heart that adores Jesus.
