HOW PROSPERITY STARTS – PROSPERITY OF YOUR SPIRIT

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

We have said that prosperity died in Adam at the fall. Sin killed the human race and consequently prosperity died. From that time, poverty began to prevail in the affairs of the people. Satan and sin has prevailed to bring the scourge of poverty to the human race. Prosperity has died with the man because of sin. Every effort of man to break even in life, was fiercely resisted by Satan because man was now under his dominion. Poverty is an affliction of Satan as punishment to man for having a relationship with Yahweh in the first place. He is so furious that he began resisting the efforts of the man to provide for himself and family. Also poverty was a function of the curse of Yahweh on the ground because of the sin of man. So, sin and Satan are responsible for the scourge of poverty on earth. However, that is not the end of the story. Yahweh did something about the situation because Satan cannot win. Satan cannot have the final say in the life of man. Man was in-charge of the earth but out of envy for the man, Satan instigated him against his maker just to gain the dominion that was once man’s. Satan did succeed. Satan did obtain man’s dominion and became the god of this world. II Corinthians 4:3-4 says, “3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”
