READ: Matthew 4:1-11
“…he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool” – Jeremiah 17:11
From this Scripture you can see that the devil had the whole world and all its wealth in his hands. He offered it to Jesus Christ if He would only bow down. Jesus Christ refused to bow down and submit His ministry to the devil.
The devil gives money to people who bow down to him. People submit their music, their films, their dances, their bodies and their talents to the devil. The devil uses their music and their talents for his purposes. Satan charges the masses with lust and perversions as the music of people who have sold their soul to the devil is played or sang. The devil gives money and wealth to politicians who submit their power to him. Many rulers of this world receive their power from evil spirits. That is why they lead nations into poverty, war and destruction. The rulers do not care about the people because they are inspired by demons who want to destroy God’s creation.
Wealth that the devil gives is wealth that comes in the wrong way. The Bible calls this getting wealth “not by right”. This method of getting wealth is not something that God supports. Because God did not engineer this kind of wealth, He prophesies its doom. God declares that He will attack that wealth. The prophet declares that God will smite at your dishonest gain: Jeremiah 17:11.
Wealth that the devil gives is wealth that comes with sorrow! There is a difference between the blessing of the Lord and other “blessings”: Proverbs 10:22.
