Prosperity is from your soul

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
3 John 1:2 KJV

Prosperity comes from your soul according to the above scripture. Its not a result of such things as a good job, a good marriage or even having good connections. There are people who have been blessed financially but live in misery. That's because they do not have peace right from the core of their souls.
Thoughts are a part of our soul and a big influence to the course of our lives. When you think positive thoughts, you attract positive results. When you think negative thoughts you attract negative results.Having good health and success in life is a result of having a positive outlook in life... Positive Thoughts! As the Bible says ;A merry heart does good, like medicine, But a broken spirit dries the bones.
Proverbs 17:22

Your thought life is crucially important for the prosperity of your soul. Thoughts are a big influence to your decisions, health, emotions, relationships and how you see yourself. If we could be more optimistic in life and direct our thought life to positive things, we would see the world around us change.

Negativity has blinded us from seeing the good in people. Thus offense, doubt, anxiety and bitterness have become a norm in our lives. We easily miss opportunities because of the doubt and negativity that has kept us in chains and we therefore fail to prosper.

Jesus wishes for us to prosper in all things, there's absolutely no exception. If you are experiencing hardship in your business today and your life in general, sit down and examine every thought in your mind. Does it bear fruit or does it steal your joy and make you barren? Every negative thought must be brought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:5

Don't go public with private thoughts

II Kings 20:15
And he said, “What have they seen in your house?” So Hezekiah answered, “They have seen all that is in my house; there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them.”

I have observed so many businesses failing even before their conception because they were prematurely announced. There are times when God gives us witty ideas that are meant to change the course of our lives but instead of paying attention to where and how God wants us to start, we run to the outside world and blabber what was meant to be a private conversation with God.

In the opening scripture we see how King Hezekiah opened up his house to strangers and showed them all the treasures he possessed including his armory.... Who does that? 🤔 God was not pleased with his actions and sent to him Prophet Isaiah to tell Hezekiah that his actions would cost him all his treasures, all that he possessed including his sons, to the very people he invited.

Not everyone will be happy for your successes. Keeping quiet about some of your dreams, plans and achievements shows wisdom. The enemy comes but to kill, steal and destroy. The enemy cannot read our thoughts but the moment you open your mouth, he's out to attack.

If you feel God is calling you to do a certain business or wants to promote you in a certain area of your life, pray and ask him to reveal his plans clearly to you and let him establish those plans. Don't invite everyone to see your armory. Don't share your dreams and plans before time. They may be stolen by the very people you share them with.

The power of association

Many people are unmindful of the fact that whatever or whoever we associate ourselves with, we eventually become like that thing or person. It is said that we are the average of the five people we spend the most time with. The Bible puts it this way ;

He who walks with wise men will be wise, But the companion of fools will be destroyed.
Proverbs 13:20 NKJV

It is a fact, if you walk with murderers, you will eventually become one, if you associate with drunkards, we will find you at the pub drinking with them at some point. If you are constantly found among people who dream of building a great wealth for themselves, their nature will rub off on you and it won't be too long untill you start having the same thoughts.

People take on the nature and the habits and the power of thought of those with whom they associate with. Napoleon Hill

You will not be successful in any business or work place if you are always found with people who lack ambition, who lack self discipline, people with negative personalities or those who are afraid to step up of their comfort zone.

I challenge you today to look around to those in your circle... Ask yourselves, do I want their nature and habits to rub off on me or do I deserve better.

Good Morning
