The biggest lie of all time has been that children of God are meant to suffer. There has been a popular Satanic belief that if you are poor, God will automatically love you because He has lots of sympathy for poor people.

This is backed up by scriptures taken out of context like:

Blessed are you poor, For yours is the kingdom of God.

Luke 6:20 NKJV

And He said to them, “Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.”

Luke 12:15 NKJV

Or this very one

Listen, my beloved brethren: Has God not chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him?

James 2:5 NKJV

Because the above scriptures are misquoted, misunderstood and frequently taken out of context, most people have glorified poverty thinking that lack glorifies God. They forget that all this is the orchestration of the devil. Through deception, he has managed to control and sway men into believing that all men of God must preach the gospel of hardship and failure.

Ironically, through his ‘financial experts’ out there, he will preach to them things like ‘wealth management’, ‘business management’, ‘how to increase’ etc. He has shown the child of God that you cannot increase spiritually through the church but through financial ‘experts’ who are also not free but in bondages of loans, insurances and hard decisions.

It is not bad to have financial or entrepreneurial skills, it is devastating when you get those skills from the devil himself. Inasmuch as one might grow and abound in much, they will still be in bondage. Most will be full of greed and they will worship their wealth. Their wealth will replace God.

This explains why so many rich children of God are very mean. They will not give to the kingdom nor for the agenda of God. You will find their wealth in things like Rotary clubs because the devil’s money has to go back to its source. If you get knowledge of increase from the devil, he will create a yoke upon you.

So many children of God hate it when prosperity is preached on altars but rejoice when fallen Satanic ‘experts’ teach them out there. They rejoice when the devil entraps them in the bondages of loans because apparently those Satanic ‘experts’ tell them among the prime ways to increase is through loans.

They forget that there are scriptures like these:

And Judah and Israel dwelt safely, each man under his vine and his fig tree, from Dan as far as Beersheba, all the days of Solomon.

1 Kings 4:25 NKJV

Also, the king made silver and gold as common in Jerusalem as stones, and he made cedars as abundant as the sycamores which are in the lowland.

2nd Chronicles 1:15 NKJV

Apparently the child of God has been taught that church is meant only for comfort, sympathy, and for them to learn good virtues and so that they are in good books with God. They forget that they are also there to learn creating wealth the Godly way and for the agenda of God with no painful toil. Sadly, the church has also really failed in that sector.

They are convinced that they should be taught by ‘experts’ who do not acknowledge the God they serve. The so called experts mostly atheists who believe that they came from nothing, but wealth has to come from an individual, how ironical. Shouldn’t there be a big bang to create wealth?

Most children of God think that because the Lord has given them a job, their parents are not unwell or they have a good life they should pay some tax to the Lord, some tax in form of offering and sometimes tithes. They think that the Lord will be forever appeased by some camera they once bought in church.

Most children of God go to church to please the society. They want to be viewed as diligent and holy church goers who are there for holy matters and not prosperity gospel. To them, church is not for prosperity but a sanctification altar. They believe that church sanctifies them so that they can be in good books with God so that He can later bless them.

Painfully, you will see a man of God preaching against prosperity preachers. They will speak of greed and treachery awakening the child of God about the devil. Meanwhile, the greedy and treacherous politician who really cares less about the agenda of God sits right in front awaiting his turn to preach his father’s agenda.

Most men of God forget that they should be the source of spiritual wealth. They forget that they are the true springs of life. They forget that they represent a kingdom that abounds in much, that increases and moves from glory to glory. They forget that they are supposed to preach the true prosperity of heaven and not focus on the ways of the devil.

The sad thing is that most men of God do not know God. They don’t know whom they preach. It is devastating for a man of God to come and warn a congregation about other men of God. You sit to wonder, ‘Why are you warning me about others instead of telling me what God has for me through you?’

If you had a young child and you wanted them to grow in an upright manner, will you start warning them about LGBTQ and the demonic or will you preach to them good things so that when they grow the Word of God is sown in them? Do you spread darkness or give light?

You see, it is basic knowledge. You do not thrive by putting others down. You do not advertise your product by saying how the other is defective. You preach about the advantages, about the good about the value addition. Shine your light so high such that men are drawn unto you.

A man of God once said that no man can take you where they have never been. If a man of God doesn’t really know God’s provision, they can never point anybody to Him. Instead, they will forge sermons to teach congregants on how to get wealth the worldly way.

Ironically, they will shoot themselves in the foot by telling the same congregants to give to the anointing so that they may increase. We need churches to teach the real eternal wealth of giving into the house of the Lord. We need men so bold who can plainly say that the only eternal increase that has got no painful toil is if you give to the house of the Lord.

Most children of God think that giving to God simply means giving to the poor. They forget that at Bethany, Jesus said that poor will always be with you and that the anointing is more important than the poor.

Am I against giving to the poor? No! Is Jesus against the poor? No! He was just showing men what was more important than the poor – Himself, The anointing! Why? He became poor so that you may become rich.

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might.

2 Corinthians 8:9 NKJV

Jesus knew what He meant when He said we should not regard the poor much more than the anointing because the anointing gives life to the poor; so that the poor may become rich. It is so ironical for children of God to say that they hate prosperity preaching in churches but they seek prosperity elsewhere. They want to prosperity but would not want to hear someone tell them about prospering the Godly way.

Children of God want to abound in wealth, they want to increase spiritually but would want to engage the anointing physically. The Bible says that God is a Spirit and those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth. Sadly, most children of God do not have the truth of God. They read the word of God like fairy tales.

They read of people in the Bible who increased because of a particular anointing. They will read of Elijah and the widow, they will read of Abraham, they will read of Mary Magdalene, they would read of Solomon but would want to rely on the knowledge of the world that Mansa Musa, a Muslim, was the richest man to have ever lived. His legacy? He built numerous mosques everywhere he stopped and he gave so much money to the poor that he crashed the world’s economy. Let’s compare him to King Solomon, the anointing.

29 And God gave Solomon wisdom and exceedingly great understanding, and largeness of heart like the sand on the seashore. 30 Thus Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the men of the East and all the wisdom of Egypt. 31 For he was wiser than all men—than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and his fame was in all the surrounding nations. 32 He spoke three thousand proverbs, and his songs were one thousand and five. 33 Also he spoke of trees, from the cedar tree of Lebanon even to the hyssop that springs out of the wall; he spoke also of animals, of birds, of creeping things, and of fish. 34 And men of all nations, from all the kings of the earth who had heard of his wisdom, came to hear the wisdom of Solomon.

1 Kings 4:29-34 NKJV

We are told that he had largeness of heart like the sand on the seashore meaning no wealthy human in history could give like him. The spiritual blessing that was upon his life drew men unto him. He had a type of wisdom no human had, he had fame not only for his wealth but for his wisdom.

Today, men of God in pulpits claim that they are God’s mouthpiece. Ironically, they speak against prosperity but still want prosperity themselves. They speak of contentment which we all know is from the devil. They frequently (out of context) quote this verse:

For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

Matthew 16:26 NKJV

Which is this God that they serve that never wants His children to become prosperous? They forget David, a man after God’s own heart once said:

For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your prosperity.

Psalms 122:9 NIV

David sought the prosperity of God which spilt over to his son Solomon in its fullness. Nobody should talk you against prosperity. That is a scheme from hell for you to glorify poverty and lack so that you may partake of it. The Lord wants nice things for you. He is a God of prosperity. All good things come from Him.

The Bible says:

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.

James 1:17 NKJV

Nobody should call you out for loving good things or for seeking prosperity. You are doing it for the sake of the kingdom. The Lord wants you to be rich. He wants his mountain (you) to be so high up above the heathens, above principalities and above dark powers. The Lord wants His people to have possession, dominion and control. He will not come until you are on top.

For he must remain in heaven until the time for the final restoration of all things, as God promised long ago through his holy prophets.

Acts 3:21 NLT

Heaven MUST not release Him until you are on top. Until you switch on the news and hear, “Today, everything was amazing and only the grace of God was hovering the streets.” He will not come until it is only Christians have dominated all industries; be it media, technology, fashion, mining etc.

Jesus will not come until a Bill Gates, a George Soros, a Rothschild etc. is replaced by the child of light. For this reason, no man should blackmail you for loving every good and perfect gift that comes from God. Children of God should drive the best cars ever made by human hands, they should own the biggest mansions on the face of the earth, they should simply showcase the glory of God on this earth.

Jesus will not come until the church is on top and has taken dominion over everything so no man should guilt trip you about having or seeking after these things. Actually, the Bible says that we should think about these things.

Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.

Philippians 4:8-9 NKJV

Is prosperity good? Is it noble, is it lovely, is it admirable? Is there any virtue in prosperity? Is ownership praiseworthy? Then think and meditate about prosperity all the time. Anyone who tells you not to think about prosperity is not of God.
