26/8/09        PROSPERITY AND HEALTH              

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

 Observation – John recognises that the people are prospering in their souls. They are demonstrating love and walking in the truth and being generous and hospitable to visitors. John obviously believes that prosperity and health are God’s will for people and are a blessing to enjoy.

 Application – We should not just be satisfied with prosperity of soul, which is wonderful, but also expect for ourselves and for others that they enjoy prosperity in all things as well as health. This is not just a nice prayer or human blessing. It is the will of God and has been purchased by Jesus Christ for us. This is a blessing that when spoken can confidently be expected to eventuate.

 Prayer – Lord, right now I ask for prosperity and health for my life and all those around me.  May my life be a blessings and may I remember to pronounce this blessing upon people as I live this life.
