God ordained that those who proclaim the gospel have a right to earn a living off the gospel (1 Corinthians 9:14). That said, spiritual leaders should not burden their congregations financially (2 Thessalonians 3:8). Meanwhile, envy (such as resenting when other people succeed or enjoy life) is a fruit of the flesh (Galatians 5:19-21). Demonic wisdom manifests itself in envy and selfish ambition (James 3:14-15).
