Is there a "prosperity gospel" in the Kingdom?
The world and even the church are pursing prosperity and the “good life” but they rarely find that. We as Kings and Kingdom citizens are to pursue righteousness. We are never to pursue prosperity.
God owns everything and there is no “prosperity gospel” in the Kingdom. In the Kingdom of Heaven prosperity is a by-product of righteous living. You will find honor in God’s eyes first and in the eyes of men. Put all of your energy pursuing righteousness. From that life you will a good abundant life. The good life will follow you.
Righteousness is the solution to poverty. A poor man becomes righteous and his live will be lined up with the Kingdom of God. Your relationship with God can pull out of poverty. The Lord will give you wisdom and insights. Unrighteous can cause others to oppress those who are in poverty.
Unrighteousness takes advantage of the poor. We must transform to a mindset of a King and change. The King himself will take care of righteous citizens. It doesn’t matter what country you are in on earth. Alignment with heaven’s government is a key to success.
You may feel like everyone is against you because of your righteous lifestyle. Don’t worry about it. You may be like Noah’s family. The only one out there. Or Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego telling the evil King no, I will not bow down to you or man made material idols because you serve the living God only.
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. Matthew 5:11
