On Wealth, Health, Success
We know that the people of the world are obsessed with the seeking of wealth, health and success in their life.
Do you think the followers of Christ living in this world have no need of these things?
Do you think it is God's will for His children to be living in poverty, to be weak and sickly and to be a failure in our life?
By no means! No!!
On the contrary, the Bible which is the Word of God, is full of the good news, wisdom, laws and principles for His children to enjoy wealth, health and success in this world.
Let us take a look at just a few examples.

Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give ; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

However, the error of some believers, being led astray by wolves in sheepskins, is that they made the seekng of wealth, health and success as the priority and primary desires of their life, just like the people of the world.
But verily verily, these things ought not to be so!
It is against the will of God and He is very displeased and sternly disapproved of such!
The Kimgdom of God must absolutely be the first priority of our life and then all these earthly things shall be provided when we follow the instructions of His Word for these things.
It is written,
Matthew 6:33-34 KJV
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
[34] Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
Colossians 3:1-3 KJV
If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
[2] Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
[3] For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
