I am sure you have heard men say, “”That fellow has a
racket.” “He is a racketeer.” “He is getting money dishonestly.”
“He is a faker.” “I knew him when he had nothing” “He is a
crook, a thief, and a swindler.” If you analyze the man who
talks like that, you discover he is usually in want or suffering
from some financial or physical illness. Perhaps his former
college friends went up the ladder of success and excelled
him. Now he is bitter and envious of their progress. In many
instances this is the cause of his downfall. Thinking negatively
of these classmates and condemning their wealth causes the
wealth and prosperity he is praying for to vanish and flee away.
He is condemning the thing he is praying for.
He is praying two ways. On the one hand he is saying,
“Wealth is flowing to me now,” and in the next breath, silently
or audibly, he is saying, “I resent that fellow’s wealth.”
Always make it a special point to rejoice in the wealth of
the other person.
