You Gotto Have SOUL

3 John 1:2

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

Prosper means: to help on the road, succeed in reaching.

True prosperity –

The ability to use God’s power to meet the needs of mankind in any realm of life. (anon)

Key: prosper outwardly as you prosper inwardly

Divine prosperity is not momentary but ongoing.

Money can buy you...

· A skilled doctor but not health.

· A high-priced psychiatrist but not peace.

· A house but not a home.

· Clothes for your children but not their respect.

· A vacation but not enjoyment.

· A car but not safety.

· Food but not contentment.

· A Bible but not understanding.

· Shrewd lawyers but not justice.

· A beautiful church building but not spiritual people.

· Companionship but not friendship.

· A wedding but not a marriage.
