Let’s use these coming weeks to tackle true prosperity. Everybody wants to prosper, right from our infancy to our adulthood, all we think of is how to be prosperous so we can do what we want and help those around us and believe it or not God wants to prosper us and make each and every one of us a solution to this world. But the question that remains is how to be prosperous.
3 John 2; Beloved, in regard to all things I pray that you prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers. Amen
This takes out the question whether God wants us to prosper or not. He is the God of abundance and therefore He wants us to also prosper. The apostle says something that is very capital but we tend to neglect it in our quest for prosperity and blessings. Looking at this passage tells us that ONE CAN PROSPER IN HIS BODY WHILES HIS SOUL DOESN'T PROSPER. So for us to really prosper we have to start from our soul because Jesus could say in Mark 8:36; For what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul? Amen. Prosperity in our soul is shown to us when we start our reading from 3 John 1; The elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in the truth. Amen. This points to us the truth because he says "whom I love in the truth". To be able to prosper in our soul, we have to first be in the truth.
To be in the truth? Yes the Word of God says. Proverbs 4:18 says But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shines more and more to the perfect day. Amen. What else characterizes the just or the righteous if not the truth? TRUTH IS THE STARTING POINT OF PROSPERITY BECAUSE IT IS THE NATURE OF GOD. Where ever there is the truth, prosperity reigns, because the light shines continuously. As riches is useless to a prisoner, if your soul isn't free, your riches serve you for nothing. KNOWING THE TRUTH ALONE ISN'T ENOUGH, DWELLING IN IT IS WHAT MATTERS THE MOST. Dwelling in the truth helps us beloved dwell in the light and everything we do is what satisfies our soul and that is why the apostle added in 3 John 3; For I rejoiced greatly when the brothers came and testified of the truth that is in you, even as you walk in the truth. 4 I have no greater joy than these things, to hear that my children walk in the truth. Amen. It will be just talk if we don't get to know truth himself. The truth that sets our souls free, the truth that shines on our paths allowing us to make the right decisions, speak the right words and prosper our souls and our bodies as well. In John 14:6 Jesus says to us I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father but by Me. Amen. JESUS IS THE TRUTH! The one capable of prospering our souls and bodies. The only Son of the Living God! TO BE ABLE TO REALLY PROSPER IN BODY, SOUL AND SPIRIT, JESUS SHOULD BE THE CENTRE OF OUR LIVES.
Let's take some time out to really analyze our lives, whether we know the truth, whether we are walking in the truth or not, because beloved, I strongly believe the time has come where our Father wants us to prosper and be in good health as prospers our souls. GOD BLESS YOU!!! AMEN.
