Many people reject prosperity teaching, believing it’s rooted in greed and selfishness. True prosperity is neither. Those who think that believing God for increase is selfish when they already have enough don’t understand God’s purpose.

The world says, “Get all you can, can what you get, and sit on the can. It will be your security when times are tough.” Sounds good, but it’s the exact opposite of what the Bible teaches.
