No way, if they really are Christians and really believe in God then the Lord God will prosper them be it in business or government like he always does because the Lord Jesus Christ is true and faithful! Consider King Solomon whom prospered greatly for as long as he followed the Lord, he prospered materially and in all wisdom so much so that the Queen of Sheba did come to verify the claims of his magnanimity which the Lord God did magnify him with until the day he fell into the narrow pit of strange women and they carried his heart away after lying gods and his kingdom was torn in two. Yea King Solomon is a great example of both ways, the way the Lord gives and the way the Lord takes away. Even after Solomon consider all the good kings written about in the Bible and how they prospered marvelously so long as they loved God. Consider even in the era after Jesus Christ's birth, life, crucifixion, and resurrection how many great Christian kings like Charlemagne did prosper and become names of legend. Praise the Lord God, for he will not mislead his faithful, praise the Lord Jesus Christ!
