When being financially prosperous is mentioned in the church world, some become defensive, confused, and even angry towards the person who mentions the topic.

Does it make sense for doctors and lawyers (who don’t know God) to be blessed financially but, the children of the Most High God have to suffer financially?

There are three main reasons why God wants His people to be blessed financially.

The main purpose of our financial prosperity is to be workers together with God to help build the Kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 3:9). The only way God can do anything in this earth is through us. In order for us to have a nice comfortable building where we can worship and in order to reach the masses of people by way of TV, internet, and radio, it takes money. How much sense does it make for night clubs, arenas, and bars to be more elaborate than the House of God? We should desire to be financially prosperous to have a stronger impact to establish the Kingdom of God in this dark world.

For those who don’t desire to be financially prosperous for themselves at least do it for God and the expansion of the Kingdom of God.

1 Corinthians 3:9 For we are laborers together with God: you are God’s field, you are God’s building.
