Every individual desire prosperity but not all of will prosper. And I hope this doesn’t surprise you. Why is that? - Proverbs 28:13.

What is prosperity?

It is a state of flourishing or good fortune or a successful status. 

Real prosperity is not only the accumulation of wealth, but good health and sound mind. There are Financial, material, and spiritual prosperity. 

Steps to Prosperity.

1. Obedience to God - Deuteronomy 28:1-13.
You want God to bless you beyond expectations, then learn to obey. Obeying God is the beginning of prosperity. Obedience will provoke this blessings. Are you ready to obey God?

2. Giving & Investing - 2 Corinthians 9:6-7.
When I talk about giving, I am not talking about giving to the church or pastors, but giving to the poor and needy. God loves a cheerful giver.
Don’t consume everything. Don’t eat your seed. There was famine in the land and everybody was eating their seed but Isaac sowed in the land. Friends, it is your deposit that will determine your withdrawal. It is your planting that will determine your harvest. 

3. Hard Work -
You need to work hard and also work smart. Learn to work hard and do legitimate businesses. Hard work will defeat talent if talent doesn’t work hard. Isaac worked hard and the Lord blessed him; the Bible said he was blessed and become great till he became very great. 

Prosperity is not complete if the only thing in it is money. Your pocket will prosper; your soul too will prosper. 

What does it profit a man if he gain the whole world and loses his soul. 

Friends, do you want God to prosper you? Then you need to surrender your life to God.  

Accept Jesus Christ today as your Lord and Savior. 

True prosperity can only come from God.
