If God gave me wealth...I would refuse it. I want to earn wealth and abundance on my strength, likings, and professional calling rather than have the wealth from God for his purposes. The only reason God gave the prophets and kings wealth was for some mundane purposes to glorify him. Honestly, I don't see any millionaires or billionaires in the Christian community. I don't see Christians making a difference in the business field, or government field, or scientific community. Yet, God is just so abundant and wealthy he allows those who strive for greatness to fail and to live in misery like he is and his people. The wealth and abundance of God? Yeah right.
