God's Wish for You

“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest
prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and
testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou
walkest in the truth; I have no greater joy than to
hear that my children walkest in the truth.” (3 Jn
2-4)
John the beloved, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the
inspiration of The Holy Spirit revealed the mind of
God to Gaius and every one that has been redeemed by
the precious blood of Jesus Christ and heirs of the
covenant, that God’s desire, expectation and will
above all things after salvation is for you to prosper
physically, materially and spiritually. God desires
that you do well consistently in material wealth,
physical wholeness. That is prosperity in soul and
mind. The Holy Spirit today emphasizes the fact that
God’s will or desire for us is forever settled.
Forever O Lord, your Word is settled. The matter of
your all round prosperity is settled in heaven. So
what God expects you to do is to walk in that truth as
revealed to you now. It is in your walking in that
truth that brings wishes to reality or manifestation.
When you walk in the truth you become unbeatable and
unstoppable because there is nothing you can do
against thye truth but for the truth and the truth you
know equally sets you free. So walk in the knowledge
of God’s divine prosperity for your life. It is the
will and the delight of God for you as God’s children
to prosper and you will prosper indeed in Jesus name.
In Deuteronomy 8:18, it is written that God’s power
is given to us to create wealth so that He the
Almighty can fulfill the covenant He has with our
fathers Abraham, Isaac and Israel. God delights in
your material prosperity-money, silver, gold, herds
and cattle and other material possession that make
living worthwhile so that you can be rich. In
Phil.4:19, it is written, “But my God shall supply all
your needs according to his riches in glory by Christ
Jesus.” The Almighty God has treasures stored up in
darkness and riches in the secret places for those who
love and are committed to do his perfect will or obey
him. The riches and wealth of the gentiles as well as
the abundance of the sea is awaiting divine transfer
for the righteous. People who walked in righteousness
in Bible times as well as in contemporary time are
carriers of divine prosperity materially as we shall
consider the following few examples.
In Gen.13:1-2, the Bible has this to say about father
Abraham that he became very wealthy in livestock and
in silver and gold. Abraham. Abraham’s chief servant
attested to Abraham’s material wealth thus “the Lord
has blessed my servant abundantly and has become
wealthy. He has given him sheep and cattle, silver and
gold, menservants and maidservants and camels and
donkeys.” (Gen 24:35).
Isaac keyed into God’s covenant blessings for
Abraham, “The man became rich and his wealth continued
to grow until he became very wealthy so much that the
kings and nation began to envy him. Jacob inherited no
physical riches and wealth from Isaac but because he
was a carrier of God’s uncommon blessing he prospered
and became exceedingly wealthy despite the fact that
Laban reduced his wages ten times. Psalm 113:5-7 says
Who is like the Lord our God the one who sits
enthroned on high who stoops down to look on the
heavens and the earth. He raises the poor from the
dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap.” Your
biological or natural family background has nothing to
do when it comes to God’s wish for you in prosperity
materially. David was made great materially because of
God’s covenant and love. Solomon gave an unusual
sacrifice to God because of this God paid him an
unusual visitation where he was given an open check
where he asked of the Lord for wisdom which brought
him great wealth from far and near. 1 Kgs 10:14 “the
weight of gold that Solomon received yearly was 666
talents, not including the revenues from merchants and
traders and from all the Arabian kings and governors
of the land.
God’s expectation for you is to constantly sow
cheerfully and generously in order to have a harvest
of riches and blessing from Elshaddai. Job was an
upright, perfect and God fearing man in his time. The
Bible says he was the greatest in the East. He was a
man of great substance. As you make holiness,
uprightness, perfection your lifestyle, you must be
conscious and believe too that God’s wish for you is
to prosper materially or to be in wealth; for this
reason, He gave you power to create wealth. God wishes
that you prosper, be in health even as your soul
prospers. God is not the author of sicknesses,
diseases and evil. He said in His Word that if you
listen carefully to the voice of the Lord your God and
do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to
His commands and keep all His decrees, I will not
bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the
Egyptian for I am the Lord who heals you (Exo.15:26)
God is interested in your sound health physically.
God promised to heal, cure and give you health.
Jer.33:6 says, “Nevertheless, I will bring health and
healing to you. I will heal my people and will let
them enjoy abundant peace and security.” God’s Word
concerning your health, healing, peace in your mind
and security and protection is a settled matter. So
you need to walk in this revealed truth.
God anointed Jesus Christ o Nazareth with the Holy
Ghost and power and He was going about doing good,
healing the sick and bringing deliverance to those who
are being oppressed by the devil for God was with Him.
Jesus Christ himself took our infirmities and bore our
sickness. The anointing of God is available today to
break the yoke of the devil-sin, sicknesses and
diseases. God is good and righteous. Beloved, you are
on God’s side and so evil must bow before good and the
wicked at the gates of the righteous. The glory, mercy
and grace of God work beyond your level of faith. So
btrust God for His matchless grace to see the reality
of His Word.
The third level of prosperity which God wish for you
is spiritual well-being. The Father has blessed us
with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in
Christ-wisdom, knowledge, power, spiritual gifts and
fruit among others are some of the spiritual wealth
that God has ordained for us Eph 1:3-6, Gal.5:22-23,
Prov 4:7. God through Christ has filled us with the
knowledge of his will for your life, to be fruitful in
all good works. Col.1:9-10 says, “for this reason,
since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped
praying for you asking God to fill you with the
knowledge of His will through all spiritual wisdom and
understanding. And we pray this in order that you may
live a life worthy of the Lord and may please Him in
everyway bearing fruit in every good work, growing in
the knowledge of God.
Spiritual prosperity should take pre-eminence over
material and physical prosperity. Take time to nourish
your soul and spirit very well. God desire or wish you
to prosper so in fulfillment or establishment of his
covenant, so that the whole earth may know that God of
Jacob is my God.
We should pray this prayer, “Lord let it please you
to bless my life and house, to be before you forever,
for who you bless is blessed forever. Holy spirit,
make my life pleasant before God so that he can bless
me according to His pleasure forever.”
