God created man in His own image and likeness. He gave us the power to co-create. Therefore we are born to be creators not competitors. God wanted us to be creative not to compete on what has already been created.
God gave man dominion over all things He have created. He wanted us to reach our full potential as human beings in order to manifest His greatness. He gave us the right to be rich.
But human beings, with all our limitations and imperfections, we are educated by the society that the resources are limited and we need to compete in order for us to be on top. So, the only way for us to be rich is for others to be poor. A wrong belief was instilled in us, that the world's resources is like a pie, and the only way for us to have a greater share of the pie is for others to have lesser share of the pie. This has taught us to be competitive and others to be greedy. This belief is created by humans because of the limitations and imperfections that we have. With this wrong paradigm another wrong belief is created, that it is righteous be poor because all this earthly things bring is sin. We think that rich people become rich by denying poor people of what they ought to have.
But this is not how God created the world. God who is all perfect, with His power and greatness, created a world that is ABUNDANT. He wanted us to be rich in order to manifest His power and greatness. If you doubt this, you can look at astronomy and you will discover that the Earth is just a small speck compared to the greatness of the whole universe. If you still don't believe that we have the right to be rich, can read what has been written in the scriptures:
Matthew 5:48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Matthew 7:7-12 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
“Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
Matthew 18:19 "Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven.

John 15:7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you.
John 15:16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit--fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.
John 16:23 In that day you will no longer ask me anything. I tell you the truth, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.
James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.

Psalm 37:4 Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Isaiah 30:19 O people of Zion, who live in Jerusalem, you will weep no more. How gracious he will be when you cry for help! As soon as he hears, he will answer you.
