The "Prosperity Gospel" has completely pervaded our society. It preaches a message so contrary to the actual message of Christ that it is a wonder how anyone could ever call the leaders who teach it Christian Leaders. However, the damage of phrases like this one is in the kernel of truth found in it. Obedience to God will always bring blessing, that is Scriptural and a promise from God who as we know is always faithful and trustworthy. The blessing though is the fact that He will come near to us...not that we will be given blessings that will be seen by the world.
