If God's love for his children is to be measured by our health, wealth, and comfort in this life, God hated the apostle Paul.
God's greatest interest is to glorify the wealth of His grace by making sinners happy in Him.
This assumes that the glory of Christ is our highest treasure, not health, wealth, family or even life. So preaching must continually show not that Jesus is the means to prosperity but that he is better than prosperity.
There is a war going on. All talk of a Christian's right to live luxuriously "as a child of the King" in this atmosphere sounds hollow - especially since the King himself is stripped for battle.
