I know a preacher who never became wealthy, died young (aged 33), and only had a few hardcore disciples.
What a failure, right?
Nope. He started a global movement that now has almost 4 billion adherents.
Jesus would be considered a failure in today's prosperity gospel movement

That's why this 21st-century doctrine that makes wealth a proxy for faith is so flawed.
Nobody would call Jesus a rich man. He needed a miracle just to pay his taxes.
But all of a sudden, nobody has faith unless they have money?
What nonsense!

They will twist a few scriptures to claim that a man who needed to borrow a donkey to travel a few miles to Jerusalem was some low-key Jeff Bezos.
This doctrine that makes faith and offerings the way to wealth needs to die because it's a lie.
Seek first the kingdom - Matt 6:33

Let me say this again:
A man who needed to borrow a car (a donkey that has never been ridden) to travel a few miles to Jerusalem was not some low-key Jeff Bezos.

The key takeaway from this thread:
Money comes from creating/selling products people want.
Many Christians are rich; so are many Muslims; and many Hindus; and a lot of Atheists.
It's because wealth does not come from a particular faith process; it comes from creating value.
