When we say prosperity, what do we normally think about it ? To those people who do not understand the true meaning of prosperity, it is normally being based on the number of house owned, number of cars owned, number of stocks shared in the stock market and the number of accounts in the bank.
Well did you know that prosperity is not only based on financial stability of our life? Prosperous people should experience the following in order to say he is indeed prosperous.
-
Financial Prosperity
-
Physical Prosperity
-
Spiritual Prosperity ( Most important )
Above mentioned prosperity shall be experienced all together in order to have a true prosperity with the Lord, those three cannot be separated with each other.
I can’t agree that a person is prosperous, if he only get two hours of sleep because of workload, even the income is great and beyond average, but if the body is suffering, I don’t think it could be considered as prosperity or blessing. Lord’s prosperity or blessing could be given to his children if we could only follow Mathew 6:33
“ But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. “.
The Lord can provide passive income, an income streams were not much work is needed to continuously receive that income. All we need to do is to believe on Lord’s provision and claim that we can receive it if we follow his instruction unto us.
You may consider my suggestion on How to Mature as Christian and learn to be content on what you have. We can consider a person as prosperous if he can get all the “necessities in life†and not the “wants in lifeâ€.

Financial prosperity is when we can buy what we need at anytime we want it.Again it is only “what we need†and not “what we wantâ€. Physical prosperity is when we can do things in our life, such as walking, singing travelling etc. and we are not experiencing fatigue or sickness brought by too much work or stress in thinking. When we are not stress and have time for relaxation and fun. Spiritual prosperity is if we have time dedicated for the Lord for praise and worship and time to commune with the Lord. That is a specific time and not just a 10 minutes before sleeping.
I might not have all this one as of this writing, but I know the Lord is changing my life little by little, and soon I will be given all this things.
Always remember,
Psalm 37:4 “Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.â€
Be Blessed, if you have not yet received Jesus as your Lord and Savior, your start from now on. God Bless you.
