Godliness with Contentment: God’s answer to the Gospel of Gain,
From The Independent Conservative.
This is a great article I found from a blogger on the issue of Godly gain versus greed. It shines the light on the mis-conceptions that inaccurately interpret prosperity preaching into 'God will make me rich.' It also casts the light at the doors of 'we' the church and asks the question are we also sending out the wrong message and perhaps not accurately teaching the word in this area?
A good use of scripture i found to instruct, reprove and re-affirm God's intention in our lives for contentment and ultimately seeking His face and not His hand.

Introduction and Welcome
Hello there,
Welcome to this blog forum.
'Covenant Jobseekers' has been inspired by the love and support of special friends who attend the same church (New Wine, London) and serve in the same ministry team.
Just like many (if not all) of you reading this page, we too have been impacted by the current economic downturn and decided to do something positive about our (temporary) situation. We understand that in times like these, you may have lost hope, you see bills and final demands but no answers or solutions. You may have contacted your local government services for assistance only to find that you're not entitled to anything, or what you are entitled to is barely a drop in the ocean...If this sounds familiar, we'd like to encourage you - DON'T give up hope.
Take hold of the Lord's strength. It's the enemy's plan to unsettle you, to unnerve you, to cause you to doubt and to fear - he will come at you from all sides and try to shake you to your very core - why do you think Jesus said that 'the enemy has come to steal, kill and destroy?' But praise God, we have Jesus who came so that we may not only have life, but have it more abundantly. Now we know it may not feel like you are living an abundant life right now, but now is not the time to lose hope or for your faith to waiver. Remember, we walk by faith and not by sight. Hold fast your position and ensure your anchor is firm and secure in the only solid rock - our saviour Jesus Christ.
The information contained within these pages is put here to provide both practical and spiritual support to anyone who is currently seeking gainful employment; therefore, feel free to comment and post anything that you think will support, assist and edify your fellow readers; consider it your seed.
Yours in Christ
Covenant Jobseekers
