Godliness is Not Gain

The apostle Paul warned the church in Corinth to beware of false apostles in 2 Corinthians 11:13-14, "For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ; and no marvel, for satan himself is transformed into an angel of light."
Wealthy satan worshipers have for many years been referred to as the illuminati, "the enlightened ones." There are many operating successfully in the world today, yet, they present an illusion. The Bible says that satan is full of darkness (Acts 26:18); he is an illusionist, deceiving many.
I have heard ministers throughout my lifetime preach that God's people should be rich, that Christians will all have an abundance of substance and that Christians all have the potential to be very wealthy, but they just don't understand how it should be accomplished and they need to be taught. Quite frankly, this is a lie and a deception perpetrated by satan himself. God wants His people to be blessed and, yes, He "will supply all of our needs according to His riches in glory" (Philippians 4:19), but the fact that He will "supply our needs" does not imply "wealth."
It is said that the oldest book in the Bible is the book of Job. In summary, a man named Job was righteous and very wealthy, but he lost nearly all that he had, because God allowed Job to be tested. Job remained faithful and praised God, saying, "Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him..." Job 13:15. In the meantime, three of Job's friends came to "comfort him," but they all accused Job of having brought his losses and affliction upon himself because of his sins.
Eliphaz was one of Job's "friends." Eliphaz said, "If you return to the Almighty and put iniquity from you (stop sinning), then you will lay up gold as dust...and you will have plenty of silver." Job 22:23-25. This was akin to today's prosperity doctrine. He then went on to say, "You will also declare a thing and it will be established for you, and the light will shine upon your ways" Job 22:28. This can be likened to today's "name it and claim it" doctrine, both doctrines of devils. Notice, Eliphaz said, "...and the light will shine upon your ways;" but remember what Paul said, "...satan himself is transformed into an angel of light." This pretty much sums up what the illuminati are all about today. They believe they are guided by satan, the god of light, that they have been given wealth by their god, and whatever they desire, they will receive. Ironically, their doctrine was outlined by Eliphaz in ancient times and - beware - it is still strong and out to deceive today.
Job's three "friends" accused him of being a sinner and they basically preached to him, as he was suffering the loss of all of his wealth, children and health, telling him that he would be blessed if he would only repent and get to know God.
The real facts are laid out in Job 2: "The Lord said unto satan, 'Have you considered My servant Job, that there is no one like him in the earth, a perfect and upright man, one who fears God, and eschews evil? Still, he holds fast his integrity, although you moved Me against him to destroy him without cause.'" Job 2:3.
God literally said that His servant Job was "perfect." Since God said Job was perfect, that means Job was perfect and without sin in God's eyes - case closed.
After God allowed Job to be tested and afflicted by satan for a season, God gave Job twice as much as he had before he lost everything. The Word of God tells us that, "The Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends; also, the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before" Job 42:10.
Job's wealth returned to him double and this was an added blessing from God, "when Job prayed for his friends." The Bible tells us that God was angry and full of wrath against Job's friends for the manner in which they treated poor Job (Job 42:7). God may have poured out His wrath upon them, but Job graciously prayed for his friends, even though they treated him despicably during his illness and loss.
The Word of God promises that "God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory through Christ Jesus" Philippians 4:19. Do you see anywhere in this passage that God will make His people rich? You won't find it in the Word of God. Yes, many of the patriarchs were blessed and had great wealth; nevertheless, it is not promised to every child of God. As stated in Philippians 4:19, He has promised to meet our needs, not give us great wealth.
Jesus, our example, "had nowhere to lay his head" (Matthew 8:20), but His needs were met. Jesus didn't own a home, or a permanent place to rest, but God supplied His needs everywhere He went. The apostles suffered loss, persecution and even martyrdom for the sake of Christ; but as they walked the face of this earth, giving testimony of the Savior, their physical and spiritual needs were met. The apostle Paul said, "Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of truth, supposing that gain is Godliness; withdraw yourself from them, but Godliness with contentment is great gain" 1 Timothy 6:5-6.
The illuminati lure people into their satan worship by means of their vast wealth; wealth is their god. JOHN TODD, a former member of the illuminati, who converted to Christianity, exposed the evils of the illuminati and their plans to begin a New World Order. He ended up being framed for rape, imprisoned for 30 years, then transferred to a mental institution, where he died mysteriously. It appears obvious to me that he was killed. FRITZ SPRINGMEIER was a renowned NWO/illuminati researcher of the 90s. He wrote about his research, traveled the country and spoke about the illuminati in his lectures. He wrote the book, Bloodlines of the Illuminati. In 2003, Fritz Springmeier was set up for "armed robbery" and went to prison for nine years, only released on 10/6/10. He is still serving and going strong for the Lord. He was nowhere near the robbery scene, yet he was convicted because both confessed robbers said he corroborated with them to commit the robbery; they both received reduced sentences for their testimonies against Fritz Springmeier. Springmeier has always proclaimed his innocence. KENT HOVIND debated the teachings of evolution and he exposed illuminati conspiracies. Subsequently, Hovind was arrested for tax-related crimes and sentenced to 10 years in prison. BILL COOPER was a NWO researcher, who wrote the book, "Behold a Pale Horse." Cooper predicted the 9/11 attacks a few months before it happened. He was killed outside of his home, in much the same manner as Andrew Breitbart. ANDREW BREITBART intended to release videos on 3/1/12 about Obama that would "change the course of the election." He was killed outside of his home in the early morning hours of, yes, 3/1/12! MARK PITTMAN died only a few months after filing suit against the Federal Reserve Bank; the first individual to ever file suit against the FRB - illuminati owned! These personalities are well profiled throughout the internet. Although the illuminati has slandered them, there is still enough truth out there to read on reputable sites.
Jesus said, "Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust corrupts and thieves break through and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust corrupts and where thieves do not break through or steal" Matthew 6:19-20.
I have peace today. God has blessed me with all that I need and I am content; but as Job, I realize that I must be content to walk away from all that God has given me, if He so requires it. Our lives here on earth, friends, are often lived out on God's "testing ground." Our faith in the Lord will carry us through eternity. If/when we encounter trials, or if we suffer great loss in this world, our strength and reliance on God will last throughout the annals of time. We may be refined in the fire, but God's people will turn out pure as gold.
Do you have the peace of God, knowing that He is with you in every situation? Will you be ready for eternity when that time arrives? If not, please visit the How Can I Be Saved page. Salvation is easy - it's only a prayer away. God bless you.
