So, this is a topic that
some people avoid discussing about. I bet we are all aware that some preachers
have even been tagged "prosperity preachers" because they tell us
that God wants us to be rich and we should work and pray towards acquiring the
best things that the world has to offer. Just the other day, I blogged about
profit in labor (Read it here) and someone commented
that s/he is confused about how to serve God when rich. That comment got me
thinking and I have been studying both the Bible and some write-ups about
Christianity and financial prosperity.
I once read that "We have the
amazing ability to overestimate how happy we’re going to be with a person, an
event, or a possession" and I am in agreement with this statement. We
human beings are of the mindset that when we have more money, things will get
better and that our lives will turn out the exact way we dream and so we work
endlessly, acquiring material possessions and the circle just never ends till
we are laid to rest.
