I don't believe that wealth can actually bring you closer to God but I certainly do believe that wealth in the right hands for the right purposes as in Kingdom purposes can accomplish great things for the kingdom of God because most of everything that is needed to get the work done demands wealth. Even back in the Garden of Eden before the fall God had given mankind all kinds of wealth and resources and that wealth and resources is still on the Earth but it's in the wrong hands yet the word of God says that the wealth of the wicked is laid up for the righteous proverbs 13:22 and all these things on the earth have been reconciled back to God through the cross according to Colossians. The problem today is not wealth but how we teach to get wealth in Christian circles. George Mueller one of my favorites believed God for everything he accomplished never asking anything from anybody but believing God. We need more George Mullers today
