Is Being Rich and Wealthy Evil? Is Prosperity Really AN UNHOLY THING? Lets look into this briefly......deno

     

     Is Prosperity Evil? Is being rich and wealthy in itself a sin? Lets approach this with some biblical common sense. The bible says that it is absolutely impossible for God to lie or to Sin. The bible you and I feast on reveals that being rich and wealthy and prosperous is the way of God and His Son Jesus Christ in Heaven and has been from everlasting to everlasting. Notice with me the verse in 2 Corinthians 8:9) It tells us something about Jesus our Lord before He came into our world. It reveals to us clearly how He lived in Holy Sinless Heaven thru-out all eternity . Read and listen very carefully.
        Verse 9) For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that THOUGH HE WAS RICH, yet for our sakes he became poor, (WHY?) This was a LIVING SACRIFICE HE MADE FOR OUR BENEFIT). Here is why by the Word of the Lord. So that we through his poverty (This living sacrifice of his wealth and wealthy life style that he gave up while He lived on earth) thru its own redeeming power and exalting might received in our lives by faith, we would be made RICH & WEALTHY.  The 2 Greek  words in this verse here means to be SUPPLIED RICHLY AND ABUNDANTLY; AND in the latter use of the word rich in the verse, that word means TO BE WEALTHY, TO BE MADE RICH .
     The scriptures plainly tell us all that Jesus in His Greatest Sacrifice, by the Sacrifice of Himself, He put away sin. The scriptures also reveal to us that He did not die in vain but to have a great and enduring everlasting glorious effect of salvation on all them that believe and are justified by faith in His Blood now on earth and forevermore in glory. In this we all agree. But did you know the cross was not his only sacrifice that he made. It was His  greatest of course, but it was not his only sacrifice. 
      We read above that though He was RICH, yet for OUR SAKES, OUR NEED, FOR OUR BLESSING, He became poor (By Choice as a living sacrifice of His Rich and Wealthy lifestyle which he has been enjoying for all eternity) he offered himself up unto God everyday as poor SO THAT, SO THAT, SO THAT. There was a reason for the SO THAT. So that we thru his poverty might be made rich. The might is there because not all will believe or receive Christ or believe and receive this part of His message and Good news. (Hebrews 4:1-2 can apply here)
      I was rather startled when I first saw this light. It had never been taught to me growing up. It was a territory that I some how  never grazed upon in the field of Gods plenteous Words on earth, the Bible. 
      So what am I saying here? Well I'm over the taboo teaching that being rich and wealthy is of the devil or that it is only evil. Now the devil has made a many a people rich in this world. This none of us can deny ( The Aleister Crowley Bunch). But that does not make being rich and wealthy automatically evil. For We read in our text above that Jesus lived in heaven wealthy and rich for all eternity and He nor the Father have sinned or are evil. They are more purer that the most whitest glistening snow. 
      We can also read in the scriptures where God also Himself on purpose made people wealthy and rich, and promised to do so EVEN FOR ALL OTHERS if they would hearken unto His voice, Delight in Him, Keep His Commandments, Trust and Obey (Deuteronomy 28:1-14). He made Adam & Eve Rich. Gave them all the earth and the fulness thereof. He made Abraham exremely rich and wealthy to establish the covenant of THE BLESSING POWER AND ENFORCEMENT, saying to Abraham in Blessing I will bless thee. Abraham confirmed this blessing (Genesis 13:2) & (Genesis 14:21 - 23) Abraham was confessing here that God was His Strength, His Source. That God was the one that made him rich and wealthy. Much like He did unto Solomon.
        When God is your source, your supplier and you know in Covenant awareness that God is the one that prospered you and maketh you rich and wealthy as Abraham was aware of it and gave God the Glory, it is a Joy and a Thrill, not a curse or delusion. Just wait til you do get to heaven and see how wealthy you always have been since the day you were born a king in Christ Jesus, a son or daughter of the Most High God. It is just that as some have learned and partake of the riches of the glory of the forgiveness of sins thru Covenant knowledge and understanding in Christ Jesus. Even so others God has OPENED THEIR EYES to see and understand the other blessings and benefits of Christ manifold sacrifices for the blessings of God to come down from hevaen as Jesus did to earth and INTO THE HEART AND LIVES OF MAN. Jesus said, Pray that Gods will be done on earth even even even as it is in heaven. Only we in our shallow understanding limit how much Gods will is done on earth as it is in heaven. God has a will for every area of our  lives, in the spirit, the soul and the bodies life. Amen.....more to come in the future.....deno....please share freely.
