We’ve all heard of “trophy wives” –young, attractive women who espouse older wealthy men. Sometimes they may hold upward truly inwards love. But around of the time, the adult woman loves her husband's coin in addition to he loves the condition she gives him.
So what’s my point?
I recall nosotros sometimes recall of ourselves equally God’s trophy wives – nosotros dear the blessings He bestows on us in addition to forget the pregnant of love. That’s why hence many "faith movements" insist God owes us wellness in addition to prosperity. That’s why roughly people autumn away when they don't choke what they desire from God.
I’ve drifted into this mentality at times, thinking God owes me smoothen sailing.
But genuine faith movements are made upward of people insisting God has already given us to a greater extent than than nosotros deserve.
As the bride of Christ (2 Corinthians 11:21), nosotros dear God for Who He is in addition to what He has already done for us on the cross, non for earthly blessings (1 John 3:1).

For to a greater extent than on the belief that God promises earthly wellness in addition to wealth:
Heavenly Promises versus Earthly Promises
Wealth in addition to Faith
