Your All-round Prosperity

Your All-round Prosperity

The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it (Proverbs 10:22).

The prosperity that God gives is an all-round prosperity; prosperity with peace! His desire is for you to prosper, in your spirit, soul and body: “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth” (3 John 1:2). He doesn’t want you doing well in your finances but ailing in your health.

Imagine, for example, a man who owns a large corporation, with a vast estate and thousands of workers in his employ. He ‘s got a lot of money in the bank, and much more comes in on a daily basis from his vast business empire; yet, he’s unable to enjoy all his riches because of ill-health. Others make money off his investments since he doesn’t have the health to enjoy them. Ecclesiastes 6:2 says, “A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it: this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.”

God’s plan for you is not to be rich and sick, but to be wealthy, healthy and strong. He wants you to prosper all-round. It reminds of what the Scripture says in Isaiah 26:3: “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.: The Hebrew word for peace here is “shalom,” and it means to fare well in every aspect of your life; to be in health, safety, prosperity, peace, favour and happiness. That means you enjoy prosperity without stress. That’s what God gave to King Solomon.

Solomon had been smart enough to ask God for wisdom, and God gave him everything: “Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding…Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace” (Proverbs 3:13, 16-17). Wisdom is that essential quality that gives you all-round success and all-round prosperity.

If your born again, happy are you, for Christ, the embodiment of wisdom now lives in you. So, you have at your disposal the wisdom of God that guarantees your prosperity with peace.

Confession
Dear Father, I declare that I’m prospering not only in my finances but in my health, job, family, and every area of my life. I thank you for giving me prosperity with peace. I experience that joy and peace of total prosperity, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Ecclesiastes 5:18-19
Behold that which I have seen: it is good and comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labour that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him: for it is his portion. Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God.
