Is Building Wealth Biblical? Part IV

Unfortunately, many believe to be a good Christian, you must be poor. 

This philosophy can hinder someone’s God-given ability to create wealth. Joseph was a God-fearing man that was given the gift of creating wealth, but it was wealth for a purpose.

In Genesis 50:20 Joseph told his brothers, “As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about this present result, to preserve many people alive.” 

God has given many leaders the ability to create wealth, but He has a purpose in mind. Sometimes wealth is needed to create valuable products, or, to fund evangelistic efforts. Regardless, don’t forsake your calling due to a flawed philosophy on wealth.
