“Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.” 3 John 1:2

“Better a poor man who walks with integrity than a rich man whose ways are perverse” Proverbs 28:6, Berean Study Bible.

This year, you may or may not become a millionaire, but I tell you what God will do. He will completely deliver you from fear. You may or may not purchase that new home, but I tell you what God will do. He is going to reveal His truth to you that will set you free in that area that’s been holding you captive. You may or may not get the wife of your dreams, but I know God is going to deeply heal the wounds caused by every wrong relationship you’ve had. God is going to sustain you while He prospers you in your soul.

Soul prosperity is what is on God’s mind for His sons. It is His divine influence on our hearts and its reflection in our lives. Sometimes He will delay bringing great opportunities, great riches and great promotion into our lives until our hearts and minds are truly healed and free because a promoted fool will only do more damage and hurt more people. An arrogant and rich fool only hurts more people, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

God needs you healed and free from envy and jealousy, deceit and trickery, pride and malice. He needs you free from self-reliance, self-worship and self-pity. Before He loads you up, He needs you to understand who you are so that you are not defined by anyone but Him. Your soul is what God is after.

Prayer: Father, thank you for helping me put value on what you value. You value soul prosperity more than any material wealth. You dream of me being totally free and completely healed. Thank you, Father, for bringing your soul prosperity to pass in my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
