Is God against "Fame and Fortune"? Often times you hear religious people say things like, forget about fame and fortune, go after God and He'd satisfy you. They say it in a way that sounds like, God will not give you as much fame and fortune as the devil would, but He'd help you gain satisfaction with whatever He gives. So I'd like to ask, in your opinion, who do you think can give more fame and fortune, God or the devil?
I know most people would pick God as the answer to the question I asked above, but ask many of them, prayer or blood money, which works better, then you will get another answer.
Just think about it, was Jesus not famous, and didn't He have money? How about Jacob and Joseph, were they also rich and famous? I think the life of Jacob and Joseph shows us God's intention for you and I when it concerns fame and fortune. God wants to give you more than you can imagine, but He also needs to build capacity in you so that what He gives doesn't destroy you and one of the major things He want to get ride of is idolatry.
You see, if you cherish your relationship with Bae more than God, or your job, house, anything at all, then you have done basically the same thing those who exchange God for fame or money - idolatry. Matthew 6:33 - Seek first God’s kingdom and what God wants. Then all your other needs will be met as well[NCV].
Therefore, there's nothing wrong with wanting to be rich and famous, just make sure God comes first. God is not saying you give up fame and fortune to have Him, He's saying you let Him be the one to show you how to get real fame and real fortune. God Bless You!
