God Wants The Rich To Get Richer & Poor To Get Poorer & You Should Too!

Most Christians struggle with the idea that God allows the rich to keep getting richer while the poor seem to stay stuck. It feels unfair, even unbiblical.

But what if I told you that this isn’t just a worldly phenomenon—it’s a spiritual principle?

Jesus Himself taught that those who steward well will receive more, while those who fail to multiply what they have will lose even what little they possess.

This truth changed my entire perspective on wealth, success, and financial growth.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated watching others prosper while you struggle, it’s time to shift your mindset. What you’re about to learn could unlock the financial breakthrough you’ve been praying for.

Many Christians struggle with the idea that God wants the rich to get richer and the poor to get poorer. I used to be one of them. Whenever I faced financial hardship or saw others prospering while I struggled, I would think,

“Why is life so unfair? Why do the rich keep getting richer?”

As I grew spiritually and studied the Scripture, I realized my frustration came from misunderstanding God’s principles of multiplication and stewardship.

“For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have an abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away.” — Matthew 25:29

Years ago, I would watch live streams and notice big channels receiving donation after donation through superchats. I used to think,

“They already have so much. Shouldn’t that money go to someone who actually needs it—like me?”

But I failed to recognize that success follows a pattern: those who manage their resources well receive even more.

Once I realized this, I stopped focusing on why others were receiving and started positioning myself to receive as well.

The principle of multiplication shapes creation itself. In Genesis, God commands Adam and Eve to “be fruitful and multiply.”

He designed the Garden of Eden as a place for continual growth and expansion, reflecting His plan for abundance in our lives.

“Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.” John 15:2-4

An excerpt from the book of John in the Bible.

This principle applies to everything in life. If something is bearing fruit, God prunes it to make it even more fruitful. But if something isn’t producing, it gets cut off.

This became real for me in my fitness journey. I remember struggling to complete a workout. My body resisted, my mind told me, “It’s too hard.” But I pushed through.

By the end of the week, I was stronger and completing the exercises with ease.

The same principle applies to finances, relationships, and business—the hardest part is at the beginning, but those who persevere reap the rewards.

Applying This to Business and Wealth

A few years ago, I started a business that helped me earn thousands of dollars a month. At first, I had to struggle and learn, but once I found what worked, I was able to replicate and scale my success.

The process was not easy—I had to test different strategies, fail multiple times, and continuously refine my approach. But I learned that financial success is not about luck; it’s about applying the right principles consistently.

This understanding led me to create Cash Flow for Christians, a program designed to teach believers how to use their God-given talents to generate income in just seven days.

Many Christians believe that making money is complicated or that it takes years to build wealth, but I wanted to break that mindset.

I wanted to show that with the right knowledge and action, financial freedom is within reach.

The rich get richer because they invest, multiply, and teach others. They don’t hoard wealth; they create opportunities, steward their resources wisely, and continue to grow.

This is why the principle of financial increase is Biblical—it’s not about greed, but about wise stewardship and blessing others in the process.

Your Mindset Often Determines Your Outcome

The biggest obstacle to wealth isn’t the economy, unfair systems, or even bad luck—it’s your mindset. If you resent success, you’ll repel it. But if you embrace the principles God has established, you’ll position yourself for growth.

I challenge you to stop seeing wealth as evil and start asking, “How can I be faithful with what I have so that God can entrust me with more?”
