3John verse21 ’But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.’
God wants you to prosper in every area of life as you can see from 3John verse2. In fact, he even hinges our prosperity on the prosperity of our souls. In order words, the prosperity of your soul is what determines prosperity in other areas of your life. This simply means that the prosperity of your soul is very important and it’s not something that you ought to take for granted. So how prosperous is your soul then? Before we look at this question, it’s important to define a prosperous soul? So what is a prosperous soul?
–It is a soul that the Word of God is prospering in. The Word of God is referred to as the seed and it has the capacity to prosper in our hearts. So to what extent is God’s Word prospering in your life? This is how you know how prosperous your soul is. 1Pet1v23; Lk8v11
–When your mind, will and emotions are governed by your spirit and the Word of God.
These are just some of the dimensions of what a prosperous soul is all about! Now back to our earlier question! How prosperous is your soul? To answer this question, you need to ask yourself the following questions:
I. To what extent does worry, bitterness, anger, malice, resentment, fear and other works of the flesh control your life? If your answer is a positive one, it shows that your soul is prospering and if not, it simply means that your soul is not prospering yet. Philip4v6
ii. How much of the fruit of the spirit do I have in my life? Is your life dominated or regulated by the fruit of the spirit? If your answer is a yes then it means that your soul is prospering but, if it’s a no, then it means that your soul is not prospering like it ought to. So it’s time grow up. Gal5v22-23
III. Do you have a healthy self-image or esteem of yourself? If your answer is a positive, it means that your soul is prospering but if it’s a negative, it simply means that your soul is not yet prospering! Num13v30
So my dear brothers and sisters, where do you think you belong? Whatever category you find yourself, you can get better! And infact you will get better! This is why God is bringing these truths your way and I believe that a new you is arising from this series of teachings in Jesus name amen. If you are keying into this, can I hear a resounding amen?
