Deuteronomy 8:18 but you shall keep in mind the Lord your God: because it is he who will give you power to acquire wealth, he may establish (continue) his covenant which he swore with your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and it is still the same today.
Notice that God does not say that He will give us wealth but only the power or ability to get it. This ability is available to everyone.
The word wealth, as translated in this particular verse means plenteous in goods. If you don’t mind my saying so what this really means is that its God’s will and covenant for people like us to own plenty of good stuff.
Now don’t get crazy on me, this will not likely mean that God wants everyone to become a millionaire nonetheless it does show that God wants us to have nice things. God never wants us to get poor.
Money is not evil however the love of money is evil. I know rich individuals who love cash and I know poor people that love dollars and it is evil in both cases. It is not noble to always be poor because the Bible even tells us in Deuteronomy 28:15-68 that poverty and sickness is a curse.
Jesus said in John 10:10 I am come that you may have life and also have it more abundantly. I say that if Jesus came so that we would have an abundant life the least we can do is live an abundant life.
Someone has to pay the bills and people that have more than enough dollars will be the folks that pay the bills. You will need dollars for evangelism, to keep the lights on in the church, to send a television signal which carries the gospel into other countries, to pay the preacher and to feed the poor.
The rule of thumb is from is Matthew chapter 6:33 when Jesus said, Seek ye first the kingdom of God and the righteousness and everything required will be presented to you. This is not poverty. Having all you need given unto you is prosperity and that is what Jesus said we could and really should have.
The covenant of wealth is a promise God made to Abraham which is still valid today for all Christians who are sons and daughters of Abraham according to Galatians chapter 3.
