The Bible Is a Book About Wealth: Pastor Chris Reveals the Hidden Truth About God’s Prosperity Plan

/ In a bold and stirring message, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome shares why the Bible is not a book about poverty—but a divine narrative about abundance, kingship, and supernatural prosperity.

০ Biblical prosperity is rooted in relationship with God—from Abraham to Paul, the faithful were blessed beyond measure.

০ Job’s story is one of restoration and global wealth, proving God’s ability to multiply blessings after trials.

০ Christians should reject the fear of poverty, understanding that spiritual commitment opens the door to divine abundance.

 

Pastor Chris claims the Bible's true message centers on divine wealth, sparking interest
in God’s prosperity promise.

Those were the opening words from a compelling message by Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, founder of Christ Embassy, as he unveiled a perspective that challenges religious misconceptions about wealth and poverty.

While many see Christianity as a call to suffer and lose material comfort, Pastor Chris makes a radical claim backed by Scripture: The Bible is fundamentally a book of prosperity—a record of how men and women who walked with God were elevated in every dimension of life, especially in material wealth.

Referencing the foundational figures of the faith, Pastor Chris begins with Abraham.

"The Bible says Abraham was blessed in all things. All things. Can you beat that?"

Indeed, Genesis 24:1 states, "And the Lord had blessed Abraham in all things." Abraham wasn’t just spiritually rich—he was materially and socially influential, commanding armies, negotiating with kings, and acquiring vast territories.

His son Isaac and grandson Jacob followed in his footsteps, inheriting and expanding that covenant of prosperity. Their wealth wasn’t symbolic; it was tangible—livestock, land, silver, gold, and human capital.

Then comes Job, often cited as an example of suffering. But Pastor Chris flips the narrative:

“Job was the richest man in all the East. And after his trial, God blessed him with twice as much as he had before.”

That statement aligns with Job 42:10: “...the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.”

But Pastor Chris goes deeper—highlighting that Job’s friends were kings, and Job still considered himself superior in influence and affluence:

"He said, ‘I would have disdained to have their father sit before me.’"

This isn’t just wealth. It’s a level of dominion that defines divine favor.

What about King David, the man after God’s heart? He wasn’t just a psalmist and warrior—he was a king whose reign was marked by conquest, abundance, and legacy.

And Solomon, his son, was wealthier still. The Bible says in 1 Kings 10:23:

“So King Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom.”

Then Pastor Chris draws a powerful comparison:

"What did Jesus call himself? A greater than Solomon is here."

Jesus wasn’t referring to wealth alone but establishing that greatness in the kingdom includes wisdom, authority, and resourcefulness. If Solomon was wealthy, and Jesus is greater, how much more should His followers expect increase?

Even Paul the Apostle, who often ministered in hardship, carried the same principle:

“Regarded as poor, but making many rich.”

In 2 Corinthians 6:10, Paul says, “As having nothing, and yet possessing all things.” Pastor Chris explains that Paul’s temporary trials didn’t contradict his spiritual wealth and ability to impart abundance to others.

Pastor Chris directly addresses a common fear:

“Some people are afraid of becoming Christians because they think, ‘I might lose everything.’ What do you mean? Do you know who He is?”

This is where the message becomes especially relevant for modern-day believers. There’s a misconception that following Christ means choosing lack over luxury or sorrow over success. But according to Pastor Chris, nothing could be further from the truth.

“Let nobody deceive you and tell you that now you’ve become a Christian, you’ll have to lose.”

Instead, he urges listeners to study the lives of those who walked with God. The evidence is consistent: They were elevated, not diminished.

The message ends with a sobering reflection:

“When you get to know who He is, you’ll love Him even more. His actions that bless you are based on His person.”

Prosperity is not just a reward—it is a result of God’s nature. God doesn’t make people rich just to dazzle them. He blesses them because His identity is abundance. To know Him is to partake in His fullness.

In this message, Pastor Chris doesn't promote prosperity for vanity’s sake. Instead, he clarifies that Christianity is not about subtraction, but multiplication. It’s about becoming all that God designed you to be—spiritually strong, mentally sound, and materially blessed.

So when next you open your Bible, don’t just see the trials—see the triumphs. See the wealth of Abraham. See the power of Job. See the throne of Solomon. And above all, see Christ, in whom we find the fullness of life—spirit, soul, and body.
