God alone knows the answer to this question. He is perfectly wise, all-knowing, and works out his eternal plan with absolute precision in this, his world, and has not chosen to give to us all of the details as to why he gives any particular thing to some and not to others. It is really none of our business why God does this or that. The Bible says that he distributes his gifts “as he wills.”
We do know that it is not because someone has prayed a certain “prayer of faith,” or performed any act, followed any formula, recited any mantra. The teaching of the so-called “prosperity gospel” or “health and wealth” groups is an unbiblical fabrication. God is sovereign and is not held captive by people who think that they can wring financial or any other type of blessing out of God by the use of manipulation through words or actions.
