This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt
meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all
that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then
thou shalt have good success (Joshua 1:8) .
God wants you to prosper in every area of your life, for He delights in
the prosperity of His children (Psalm 35:27). 3 John 1:2 reveals the Spirit’s
wish for you to prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers. In Christ
Jesus, you’ve come into a rich heritage; a place of divine favour. 2 Peter 1:3
tells us that the Lord has given you all things that pertain to life and
godliness.
Indeed, when you received Christ you were automatically catapulted into
a glorious realm of prosperity and became an heir of God, and a joint heir with
Christ (Romans 8:17). However, Galatians 4:1says,“...the heir, as long as he is
a child, different nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all....” In
other words, though you're a joint heir with Christ, and all of God's wealth
and inestimable riches belong to you, you have to grow in the Word unto maturity
to enjoy the benefits of your inheritance.
This is where meditating on the Word and putting it to work in your
life comes to play. As you meditate on the Scriptures, the Word is seasoned in
your spirit, such that you think, talk, and live the Word. The Bible shows this
to us as the way to make your way prosperous: it’s by meditating on the Word,
and observing to do what it says. Now, this isn't just referring to financial
prosperity, but prosperity all-round; in every aspect of your life.
The Apostle Paul, in 1 Timothy 4:15, reiterated the same truth:
“meditate on these things,give yourself completely to them, that your profiting
may appear to all.” When you meditate on God’s Word, your progress,
advancement, prosperity, success will spread abroad, and be evident for all to
see. This means that the extent of your success and prosperity is entirely
dependent on you. To prosper in all you do—in your job, family, health,
finances, marriage, etc.—continually meditate on the Word. This is His divine
roadmap for true and lasting prosperity.
Prayer
I thank you, precious heavenly Father, for my great heritage in Christ;
thank you for setting me up for a life of endless victories, and sustained
prosperity! As I study and meditate on your Word, my success and prosperity are
evident, and spread abroad, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Further Study: Psalm 1:1-3 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the
counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the
seat of the scornful. 2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his
law doth he meditate day and night. 3 And he shall be like a tree planted by
the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also
shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. ,
Psalm 35:27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my
righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified,
which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
