The “health, wealth, and prosperity” Gospel is what St. Paul calls the “other gospel,” which is a perversion of the Gospel that Christ proclaimed. If God really did intend all people to be rich, then Jesus was a failure. I guess he didn’t have enough faith.

I like to focus on “What saith the Scriptures?”

“Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousnes delivereth from death.” [Prov.11:4]

“In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.” [Proverts 14:23]

“Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou should go.” [Isaiah 48:17]

“For what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his soul?” [Mark 8:36]

“For bodily exercise profitable little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.” [1 Timothy 4:8]

“Mediate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.” [1 Timothy 4:15]

“This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.” [Titus 3:8]

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof; for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.” [2 Timothy 3:16-17]
