Scripture: 3 John 1:2
Beloved, I wish above all things, that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers.
These days, the word prosperity gospel is echoed everywhere you turn. While some totally disagree, others sees it as a message to be preached.
My humble opinion is that there is nothing like prosperity gospel. The gospel is Christ and prosperity is part of the package call salvation. You can’t take prosperity out of the package. If you agree that poverty is part of the package call sin, why then should you take prosperity out of the package call salvation?
The scripture here said “I wish above all things that you prosper…” It is actually God’s desire for you to prosper, He wishes you prosper, but there is a secret in this God giving kind of prosperity. It is measured by the prosperity of your soul. Your material prosperity as a Christian is predetermined by your spiritual health. “…Even as your soul prospers.”
Kingdom prosperity is possible. God still blesses, but the scripture is clear about prosperity for the believers. “Seek ye first…” You must embrace the principle of the “first”. Seek God first and all other things shall be added unto you. When God takes lead in your life, money won’t have you. God is more interested in your soul than your bank account, he won’t expose you to the prosperity that will drown your soul and this is why allowing God in your heart and growing in Him gives you an advantage for kingdom prosperity. At this stage, your position in Christ helps you to have money and not money having you. Like many believers today, money has become their master. A man who was all about God as soon as he stumbles into money, God suddenly become an option to him.
Grow your spirit to position you for the level of wealth heaven can give. God can prosper you and the world will know his ever flowing resources has no equal but after these blessings, can God still trust you? That’s the question …
Kingdom prosperity is a reward for your spiritual health. Today, you can enjoy that privilege of God’s ever flowing resources. Prosperity is coming. Heaven will pass the resources through you. The question is, are you ready?
Declaration
In the name of Jesus, I receive grace to continually grow in the Lord. I receive kingdom prosperity. I am prosperous in all I do. My day is blessed
