Many churches preach material prosperity for servants of God, but I have been wondering if God give material Riches.
There are both rich and poor people in all religions.

See also some of the wealthiest people:

Bill Gates is an agnostic

Carlos Slim Helú is a Maronite Catholic Christian

Warren Buffett is an agnostic

Amancio Ortega is a Catholic Christian


Mark Zuckerberg is a Jewish atheist

Al-Waleed bin Talal is a Sunni Muslim

CEO of Apple - Tim Cook is also wealthy but he is a gay

i have no idea...

Matthew 6:19-21 ESV

“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

1 Timothy 6:7-10 ESV

For we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world. But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.

@Mattpopson101 so your point is he doesn't give.

@Glowstone so who receives the material riches, the righteous or the unrighteous?

Hebrews 13:5 ESV

Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

Proverbs 11:28 ESV

Whoever trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous will flourish like a green leaf.

Matthew 6:33 ESV

But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

Proverbs 13:22 ESV

A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children, but the sinner's wealth is laid up for the righteous.

@Mattpopson101 your are not giving attention to the question. Even sinners leave their wealth to their children children children.

@Tattooboy, so those pastors preaching material prosperity for "only" God's servants are getting it wrong.
