THE PROSPEROUS WAY
IN CONCLUSION
As our hearts begin to change and to line up with the Word of God,
something happens to our definition of wealth. It too begins to change:
Over and above financial success, prosperity comes to mean an
abundance of peace and purpose. It is an ability to rest quietly and
confidently in God, to be content in your present circumstances. It is the
fulfilment of the prayer in 3 John 1: “Beloved, I pray that you may
prosper and be in good health, even as your soul prospers.” This kind of
prosperity of the soul involves the spirit, mind, and emotions, not just
physical wealth. It connotes a full and abundant life. This then is what it
truly means to prosper.
“Do not conform any longer
to the pattern of this world
but be transformed by the renewing of your mind
Then you will be able to test and approve
what is God’s will:
His good, pleasing and perfect will.”
(Romans 12:2)
