When we are preoccupied with wealth and material acquisitions, it chokes God's word in us and makes it unfruitful. But if we follow His plan of being prosperous you will enjoy the blessings of this life.

Patience Johnson
About This Quote

God does not ask us to be rich, but to be prosperous. Being rich actually restricts us from everything that is good. When people are rich, they tend to focus on acquiring things that can be replaced or replaced by other things. So, we should understand that wealth and material acquisitions don’t guarantee we will be happy; instead we should work on God’s plan and enjoy His blessings and provisions.
