Does the bible want us to be rich
Read Matthew 19:16 - 24, Mark 10:17 - 23, Luke 18:18 - 25. God is angry with this entire nation. We look for God to bless and heal us while we ignore His instructions through His son and the prophets. We look for God to do for us the things we should do for ourselves. Now it is true that following God’s instructions will improve the quality of anyone’s life that puts them into practice, that should not be our motivation. For wisdom, knowledge, and instruction are more valuable than money, gold, and silver. The reason is the first three can be shared. If I have a dollar, and give it away, I don’t have it anymore. But any knowledge I give away, I keep and can keep sharing and building on it. Riches are deceitful. If what you do makes you rich, you may think God is happy with you because you enjoy life. Riches only improve this life. God is going to change everything. Being rich on this planet makes as much sense as upgrading a room on the Titanic.
Wealth is a blessing, and there's nothing wrong with being rich. God can bless us and he wants us to prosper. What matters is what you do with your wealth. It is important to help those less fortunate. If you do this, God will bless you more.

If satan has deceived the whole world, then those deceived will disagree with everything you say and do.
