Wherever the bible talks about God making us rich, it is refering to spiritual riches, not material riches. They miss that.

Thats a lie of the devil right there. Jesus was rich and became poor so that we might be rich. We prosper and are in health even as our soul prospers. Godly prosperity comes from faith in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. Godly prosperity means money as well as health and salvation.Being prosperous doesn't mean you live by faith, but if you live by faith you will be prosperous..as your soul prospers. If Jesus was made sin so we could be righteous, if Jesus was made sick so we could be healthy then Jesus was also made poor so that we through his poverty might be rich.

That thinking of yours just blows my mind. So Jesus was poor so that his disciples could become filthy rich...is that your point?

Really. So you think if you belong to God, you are going to have material wealth? Is that REALLY what you think?

Godly prosperity means money as well as health and salvation..

Ah, so that is what you think. Then Jesus made a mistake when He used the poor woman who gave all she had as an example of a Godly person.

And if you think Jesus was mistaken, as you obviously, do, then that's of the devil right there.

Try reading the book of Job. God got pissed at Job's friends for having the exact same reasoning that you have. I would not want to be in your position.

Tell that to the poor Chinese, Indian, African, etc. Christians that have next to nothing. Give me a chapter and verse where Jesus says that poverty is of the devil.

Good for you! I have prospered in my latter years because I obey God's principle of tithing.
