Frauds like Osteen make me want to puke and they do more to turn people away from God then they do anything good in their so-called Ministry.
Joyce Meyer is no saint either; multi-million dollar jet, big mansion, husband drives a hundred thousand dollar car, get’s paid thousands a year for whatever. She says her wealth comes from God but it comes from scamming folks into sending her money.
JOB42:12 So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.
JOB42:13 He had also seven sons and three daughters.
JOB42:14 And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Kerenhappuch.
JOB42:15 And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.
JOB42:16 After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, even four generations.
JOB42:17 So Job died, being old and full of days.

Commentary:
So the rest of the story is that after a time of trial, after Job gained a greater understanding of God and repented his having a superficial relationship with God, then God made Job more prosperous than he was before when Job was merely “perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.”
For those of you who continually play the game of “Who shall ascend into heaven? or Who shall descend into the deep?” I leave you with these words from Saint Paul:
ROM10:05 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
ROM10:06 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)
ROM10:07 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
ROM10:08 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
ROM10:09 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
ROM10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
