"'But strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.'" Matthew 6:33 (NRSV)
People misinterpret this to mean that God will give them riches and status.
But in fact it means that if you seek God and act honestly all your needs will be provided.
It does not mean you will be prosperous in a worldly sense.
To seek this is to be worldly and corrupt.
