Luke 6:20And turning His gaze toward His disciples, He began to say, “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
The Christian life is not a call to economic prosperity, it's call to the kingdom. In Luke's gospel it says, "Blessed are the poor", Matthew says, "Blessed are the poor in spirit", whether you are poor economically or spiritually, you are blessed because you have the kingdom of God.

What about the 30000 children that die everyday from starvation? These children couldn't get a job if they wanted to.
I want people to see that a job is something you get by applying yourself to get it, if a job is available. This is not of faith but of an expectant reward of something we all can see. But this work brings about debt! All countries are in debt.
Such as with the theme of this thread. Are they more blessed by God, or can simply sell His word better than most?

Any preacher or person who passes a collection plate. The truth is they wish they were them.
And again this might make most angry, and they will disguise it behind a "God's kingdom is not about money" persona, but then when I sau we have to do away with money to feed those 30000 children I hear every excuse in the book!

No. Having the mind of Christ, I judge all things comparing spiritual with spiritual.
If I was a pastor of a church and I see another minister preaching the same word I am, but with a better revenue stream, I'd be jealous. I can say that Mike Murdock is a wolf in sheeps clothing id be fooling myself.

The preachers and their followers are both seeking for worldly assets. If the followers were seeking for God, they wouldn't be enticed or lured with money in order to be with God. The only reason that the followers are there is hoping for a magical way to gain wealth. They praises wealth more than anything. God wants us to seek Him and be after His righteousness only, but they all are jumping over all that and looking for the gifts that is under the tree.
Matthew 23:19You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes the gift sacred?
