A Lifestyle That Brings Prosperity

The Bible presents this powerful truth: God wants us to “prosper and be in good health.” However, many people read and even believe this promise, but still wonder how to experience this prosperity and health.

John’s letter describes how this prosperity is a byproduct of a life that is pleasing to God. It flows from a life motivated by love and committed to walking in truth. It radiates from those who recognize that we can hinder or even stop the flow of His blessings when we disobey Him or are dominated by pride.

We see how prosperity and health can be associated with those who have a strong commitment to evangelism, those who seek to help others, and those who use their gifts to fulfill their role in fostering the health and growth of the Body of Christ (Ephesians 4:15-16).

If we want to experience prosperity and health, we need to be careful about who influences our lives. We should seek to develop relationships with mature Believers who live according to Biblical standards. We also must be mindful of the things we do with our time, talent, and treasure. We should be good stewards of God’s blessings and consistently invest these resources in His Kingdom.

If you want to experience prosperity and health, learn to follow God’s plan. Seek to walk in truth. Know and obey His Word. Be filled with the Holy Spirit and motivated by love. Cultivate relationships with godly people, and be faithful to fulfill your role in the Body of Christ. Develop a burden for Souls and a commitment to evangelism.

Humble yourself before God, and repent of any pride. Always remember: God has blessed you so that you might bless others.
