Misunderstanding or purposeful misrepresentation?

On Yahoo I often see stories like "look how disgustingly wealthy these pastors are", stories like that.  It makes me wonder if the person has ever read Scripture.  Do they just not understand Scripture or are they being purposely deceitful???

Take a look at a couple of Scriptures on the subject.

Mark 10:29-31(NKJV)

So Jesus answered and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My sake and the gospel’s, 

who shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time—houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions—and in the age to come, eternal life. 

But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”

Luke 18:29-30(NKJV)

So He said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or parents or brothers or wife or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, 

who shall not receive many times more in this present time, and in the age to come eternal life.”

Here are two Scriptures, there are many more, that make the point that our reward will be here on earth as well as later in Heaven.  Many of the pastors these articles single out have done what the Scriptures talk about.  They have given up everything to serve God.  God has told them that they will be rewarded 100 fold now as well as eternal life in the future. 

Now if God says it will happen like this then why would some call it evil?  Are they ignorant of Scripture or are they doing Satan's work? 

Satan's work?  Isn't that a bit hyperbolic?  Not at all.  God's plan is for us to follow Him and prosper.  Remember Satan is the master of deception.  If he, through others, can convince Christians that it is evil to prosper, isn't that doing Satan's work disrupting God's plan?
