Many people(especially Christians) believe that all good things come from God while all bad things are from the devil.(Invariably,good things are for Godly people and bad things for evil people)But it puzzles me when some people who are obviously evil have free access to the good things of life while others who are obviously Godly lack same. My questions are:1 Does all things (good and bad)come from God?2When an evil person is blessed,who is the source of the blessing?NB:my definition of good things is the things that make life easier:food,shelter,health,transport,money etc.3Can the devil also bless someone with good things? Happy Sunday to us all.

Disturb not yourself when you see evil doers succeed, for the Lord will cut them like grass -Psalm 97:1-7.

1. The Lord provides good times and trying times for both good and evil people. He blesses both the good and evil. That is why it is not only good people that succeed in life. This is it: "That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. " (Matthew 5:45)

2. GOD. He blesses both the evil people. But he wants them to repent so they will come and enjoy in His kingdom for eternity. He blesses them but don't take delight if they die a sinner unlike He does His saints
-"Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints." (Psalm 116:15)

3. Devil bless people also. But he does that for deceitful purpose. In exchange for their soul. The devil have good things in his charge also. Things of this world. He can give to whom ever he wants: "Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me." (Matthew 4:8-9). But must want something in return, of which the soul that receives from him will be destroyed: "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. " (John 10:10)

They don't actually.... and they know it

Op, you have to define first, what makes someone evil and what makes someone good.

What do you think is the secret of success?

Yes,I know that those concepts (good and evil)are subjective. But that doesn't erase clear instances where some people of questionable character often attain high social status.for example,in Nigeria,political office holders always live large even though we know that it is at the expense of the rest of us.Is there any thing good about some one who throws away food while his neighbor starves?
