There are all sorts of ministries that treat the word and wisdom of Christ, in all sorts of manners, from "prosperity ministry" to serving the poorest of the poor, of which, no doubt, all of these have merit of some sort of various strengths, but not too surprisingly, the message often being preached is more in conformance to that ministry's convenience as opposed to something as straightforward as the truth.
It's a mistake to believe, that Christ was ever really a true friend to the rich and powerful, for virtually every activity or action that He did contradicts this, for we read in Mark 10:25 that "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God." This saying implies quite strongly that the problem lies not so much with money or richness in and of themselves being evil or wrong, but that the distraction or the lure or the importance of money and richness will divide a person's mind, so that they will be reluctant to part from it, for money and richness is a form of power, of legacy, and of security, which few will willingly give up, for anyone or anything. This is the very point that Christ makes, that the rich and successful are entwined within a world that makes them comfortable, and therefore find no real compelling reason to ever want to leave such, whereas those that lack material assets or opportunity, have a hunger for something beyond them, and are more than willing to drink from that sacred well that finally quenches their thirst.
This signifies that those that preach the message that faith in Christ, or good faith in general, is the foundation that will lead to material prosperity miss wide the mark, for that, most certainly is not the message that Christ brought and should not be the message given to the flock. The belief in our Messiah should never be a belief that is representing in one way or another, that Christ alleviates all material suffering, or that a strong belief in Christ will mean a good job and good money, for that isn't the message of Christ at all. Christ never was and never represented a worldview, that said, in effect, he who believes in me andthereby follows me, shall receive worldly possessions and worldly praise, instead the message was as written in Mark 1:17: "And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men," making clear to his chosen disciples towalk straightaway from fishing for fish, or similar, and follow He that will satisfy far more than a physical hunger in your stomach, and bring far more prosperity to your spirit than you could ever possibly get from the coin of the realm.
When you take a look at the ministry of our Messiah, he came not to serve princes and principalities, but on the contrary, to serve those that had little or no voice in the day-to-day affairs of politics, commerce, or organized religion, but hungered instead for the truth that would set them free from the delusion that worldly wealth, worldly honor, worldly pleasure, or worldly power, were the answer to the question that stirred their souls. Christ always and forevermore champions those that devote themselves wholeheartedly to the cause of worshipping their God with all of their heart, and treating their neighbors as they would wish to be treated themselves, thereby making them rich in the richness of Christ, for the truest treasure of them all, that neither rust, thieves, or moth can touch, is in the bosom of our Creator, whereas those that amass their treasure chests on earth, will find that their coins are completed counterfeitedbeyond this earthly plane.
