The mistake found in a lot of prosperity gospel teaching is the idea that it is God’s will for you to be prosperous and abundant and healthy right now. The mistake occurs with the implication that you deserve to be wealthy, or that you deserve anything. We deserve punishment because of our fallen state (Romans 3:9-10) and that is all we deserve. That is the proper mindset for a follower of Jesus Christ to have. The only thing we need to be seeking to have in abundance is God’s grace and mercy. What does that mean? What is grace and mercy? Grace is when you get something that you don’t deserve - which is forgiveness and the reward of everlasting life. Mercy is when you don’t get something that you do deserve - punishment for breaking all of God’s commands, which we are ALL guilty of doing. Does that make more sense now? The Biblical approach is that we ought not allow our prideful nature to overtake our faith and commitment to Jesus Christ. When we allow ourselves to start believing that we are owed something or that we deserve to be happy and wealthy and healthy because we are good people, we do make a fatal mistake. We see this running amok in the world today where people are professing that they are owed something simply based on their existence or their choice to be unusual, be it, special treatment, or money, or a life of notoriety, or certain rights, or anything that satisfies the immediate desires of the flesh. This why we use the word “submission” when we speak of our relationship with God. We must submit to Him and His will for our lives. God’s will for your life might not be that you should be wealthy or even healthy. God’s plan for your life might not be what you expect or even want it to be! It is God’s will that we seek to glorify, not our own lives. That might sound like a hard teaching to itching ears and those who love smooth preaching. But, truth, objective morality and God’s will are not subject to your desires and dreams - it’s exactly the other way around. Keep this in mind the next time you hear someone claiming their promises from Jesus on something like wealth and abundance. The best advice to give anyone in this errant mindset, or in fact even to remind ourselves from time to time is to say: IT’S NOT ABOUT YOU! It’s about God’s will. If we come into harmony with God’s will, then we are able to find the only true peace and happiness that exists in this world. Forgiveness is a free gift from God. But, it will cost you everything.
