TRUE PROSPERITY

"Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers."
3 John 2 (NKJV)
Main Text:

There's possibly some controversy in our land today regarding prosperity. The message of prosperity has been criticized by a great number of unlearned individuals but that does not make the message an error, it is the people that are unlearned and ignorant. The Bible makes us understand that it is the will of God for man to prosper, it is through prosperity that his kingdom will be spread abroad (Zech 1:17). True prosperity is the ability to use God’s power to meet the needs of mankind regardless what the needs are. Prosperity is an inward attitude before it becomes an outward manifestation; which is why the anchor verse 3rd John 2 shows us the level of our inward prosperity (soul) determines the level of our outward prosperity. 

Prosperity is everything working together for your good. Prosperity is not just about begin wealthy, it also entails good health, good behavior, being successful, enjoying the goodness of God. Jesus said I have come that thou might have life and have it in abundance (John 10:10), Jesus did not die for you to keep living in poverty, he did not die so you could keep living in religion, he died so you can live a prosperous life, on the cross he said IT IS FINISHED i.e. the poverty, the sickness, the lust, worrying, all those things ended on the cross. He said “I have come that they might have and enjoy life” (John 10:10) AMP. The word “it is finished” in the original Greek means perfectly-perfect, completely-complete; Jesus died for you to live a complete, and perfect life on the earth. 2 Corinthians 8:9. (NIV)

Jesus did not come so you could live the mediocre life. He came so you could live in overflowing abundance. Scriptures show us that in him and through him were all things created, therefore as joint heirs with Christ, we are partakers of this commonwealth of Zion. 

Colossians 1:16; Ephesians 2:19, (HCSB) 

The death of Jesus redeemed you, therefore, you qualify for God's supernatural keys to prosperity.

Confession: I am Prosperous in my family, every member of my household flow in supernatural provision. The works of my hands prosper, my business flows in supernatural harvest. I walk in true prosperity. 

Prayer: No darkness can disqualify my inheritance in Christ
