Sell your soul to the devil (for money, power, whatever) and you’ll only prosper in this world for a short while. Look around you, there are many who have chosen unwisely in the short term and they will have to pay the devil his due at some point. Don’t deal with the devil and his demons.

The 1% rich may have a problem taking their wealth with them or getting that camel through the eye of a needle. You can’t take it with you and they won’t either.

Trust in the Lord and he will supply you with what HE thinks you need. Not always what you think you need.

When the Lord humbles you, rejoice because he cares enough to humble those he loves. Don’t blame him when he allows bad things to happen to you. Keep the faith and blame the devil and his demons for the evils that befall you.

Whatever you have been blessed to acquire or achieve, praise the Lord and be a good steward. It doesn’t belong to you, you are only managing it for the Lord. And remember he can take it away as quickly as he gave it.

Prosperity preachers teach your reward is here on earth, not in eternity. They teach G_D loves everyone and wants them to acquire wealth and success in this world if they trust and obey. But you cannot earn or purchase your salvation through works. Salvation is freely given through Jesus Christ to those who accept his promise of eternal life.

They do not point out any way to deal with sorrows and troubles and thus are unrealistic. Life on earth can never be all laughing gas no matter how hard we try. But we can make our suffering worthwhile by investing it in the Lord.

It is okay from time to time to get angry at God. He has big shoulders and can handle it. Just do not get bitter about it.

The OT Book of Job is a teaching lesson that it is okay from time to time to get angry at God and it shows He does have big shoulders.

But do not get bitter though.
