WHY ARE THE UNBELIEVERS PROSPERING?

An essay claims that Finland with less than 20 churches, Switzerland with less than 30 churches and Denmark with about 23 churches have the most stable economies in the world. The essay went further to say that these 3 countries are considered largely atheistic in nature while many of the countries that profess belief in the Almighty are reeking in corruption, hate, poverty and greed. Let me first of all add a disclaimer that I cannot confirm the veracity of the statistics of the essay under reference neither can I judge whether a nation can be labelled as atheistic. So I will just address the issue of explaining the material prosperity of believers and unbelievers.

First of all, we have been told that the Lord causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. Furthermore, the Power of the Almighty is available to all men to use as they choose. Man can achieve outstanding feats with this pure Power whether he acknowledges this Power or not. However, man is held responsible for how he uses this mighty Power.

Certainly, an unbeliever can be rich! If he works in that direction, the Laws of God will permit him the wealth he has worked for no matter his form of religion and it would not matter even if he has no religion at all.

Let us realise that peoples who are atheistic are already in the warm embrace of Lucifer and we may not envy their material wellbeing because that is not all of our purpose on earth!  Their economic progress belongs to this passing world of matter. On the other hand, the darkness will strike harder at those places where there is still a yearning for the Truth hence the paradox of the hardships that is sometimes evident in the places where the people believe in the Almighty.  Again, the economic well-being of the believers too will depend on how they live their lives. They will not be spared if they are careless or live unscrupulous lives. If they work towards poverty so shall it be for them even if they spend all their hours on earth on their knees praying. What they sow, they will reap!

Of course, believers need to continue to work relentlessly on themselves so as to be really worthy of the knowledge of the Most High mercifully granted them. But definitely, those people who are unbelievers would be able to achieve a million times more than their present achievements if they added the intuitive understanding of the Laws of the Lord to their lives.
