Allow me to offer this in understanding. We have been TOLD that is beneficial to 'build our TREASURES in HEAVEN'. This is an outright offering that having riches here on this earth is MOSTLY only able to CORRUPT. God DOES bless those that He loves. He also PUNISHES those that He loves. And, since there is LITTLE use for riches other than the appeasement of those who wish to obtain it, there is litttle if ANY reason to BELIEVE that God MAKES 'rich people'.
Satan, on the other hand, is well aware of the inherent dangers of WEALTH, (not spiritual but MATERIAL), and uses it to corrupt even those of the very elect. We can plainly SEE the examples of such each time we pick up a news paper.
God KNOWS what one WILL DO when offered riches BEFORE they are ever offered such. Therefore, those that He loves and KNOWS love Him do not NEED wealth. He would NEVER TEMPT anyone with riches. This is a FACT. He would never TEMPT anyone period.
So, can a rich man PLEASE GOD? The question HAS been answered Biblically ALREADY. For the words of CHRIST HIMSELF OFFER that, "it is EASIER for a camel to fit through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven'. No matter HOW much hemming and hawing one does over this issue, the WORDS ARE CLEAR. How much CLEARER COULD THEY BE?
God DOES bless people. But these type blessings are more about faith, LOVE, security, and PEACE. To DEMAND that God deliver MONEY is like telling your doctor that you NEED OPIUM. Hmmmm.......What do you THINK your DOCTOR would say to such a request?
Blessings,
