Here’s the difference between a rich Christian and “A lover of mammon.”
A rich Christian is one who has attain a certain level of maturity hence God helped him become rich because through his riches he could served God better. Some genuine Christians prayed for riches but God did not make them so because God knows that riches could be detrimental to them, i.e. with respect to their spiritual maturity.
A lover of mammon became rich out of his own will and his own way. God knows that riches are not good for him but God respect his freedom hence God did not intervene. But if this kind of rich people would earnestly pray to God that they may be a good Christian then God will certainly help them how to get rid of all their riches or perhaps help them to attain the level of spiritual maturity wherein they can make use of their wealth for the greater good.
The temptations facing a rich man is far greater than that of a poor man, hence a spiritually not so mature person would not be able to cope up with the demand of being rich.
