"Prosper as our soul Prospers"

Soul Prosperity

"Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers." 3 John 1:2

Many of us understood that our soul comprises of our mind, will and emotions. Here at the very end of the Apostle John's age, he summed up his heartfelt desire is to see Gaius prosper, in which the book of Third John was a private letter written to him (Gaius).

Try reading the verse again. And highlight "you may prosper in ALL things and be in health, JUST AS YOUR SOUL PROSPERS." Try again. "prosper in all things..... just as your soul prospers." Now pause.

Does that shed some light? We can not be prosperous beyond  the prosperity of our soul; which is our mind, will and emotions. Long before the manifestation of any physical prosperity i.e. our finance, our relationships, our investments; our SOUL needs to prosper FIRST AND FOREMOST!

Which in other words shows us that the Devil can not rob the money in our bank but he can definitely rob our peace and joy (which live in our soul!). Think about it.
The next time you face a "storm" - maybe the best place to stay is to guard our heart (soul). For we will only prosper according to our soul... not the other way round. Shalom.
