Yes in deed as a christian,christ like and christ followers and we are surposed to have every things in as a redemmed child of God,as bible said.so my question is that why are christian still poor,when the bible says christ was rich and for our sake he was made poor that we should be rich,then why are there still poor christians,to the exstent of cross carpeting to muslims.i think we the so call christians are the problem,1 the knowledge of the scripture is not there that is why they know not how to enter the city.
I will agree with you that we aren't meant to be poor as Christ like people at the same time permit me to draw our attention to a Bible quote that says "faith without works is dead "
Yes God has indeed promised us that when we seek his kingdom first all other earthly goodies shall me added to our lives but that will not happen by staying idle, remember our Lord Jesus worked and reaped from it, for instance as God in human form he understood that there is dignity in labour which was why he joined his earthly father to do his carpentry work. Secondly as divinity he knew his mission on earth wasn't going to be an easy one so he prepared himself in fasting and prayers which yielded results during his stay on earth with miracles.
In Christianity today many people are too lazy to work for daily bread they prioritise everything with believe without works meanwhile God has confirmed it in "duet. 28:12 and psalm 90:17" that he will bless and prosper the works of our hands why, because we are no longer in the era of free "mana" from above so he has asked us to work so that he will see a medium to bless us here on earth.
So in other to avert poverty as Christians we must work and ask in faith for God to bless and prosper our works.
