PROSPERING YOUR SPIRIT-BEING FOR YOUR WHOLENESS! 

PROSPERING YOUR SPIRIT-BEING FOR YOUR WHOLENESS! 

“Beloved, I pray that in every way you may SUCCEED and PROSPER and be in good health [physically], just as [I know] your SOUL PROSPERS [SPIRITUALLY]” 3 John 1:2/Amplified. 

The Holy Writ informs us that our God has BLESSED us in Christ Jesus, even as He REDEEMED us from SIN to RIGHTEOUSNESS. And His BLESSEDNESS is to ENRICH us and not to give us sorrow, pain, or any form of side effects or bandages. And to be BLESSED of God is to be EMPOWERED to PROSPER and ACHIEVE purpose meaningfully in the grace. This thus indicates that the concept of PROSPERITY or PROSPERING is because we have been BLESSED [EMPOWERED] by God, which is the consequence of our redemption rights and privileges in Christ Jesus. Amen. So, the default of BLESSEDNESS that results in PROSPERITY in the grace is in the DNA of our justification in redemption. 

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ” Ephesians 1:3. 

“Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that THE BLESSING of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might RECEIVE the promise of the Spirit through faith” Galatians 3:13-14. 

“THE BLESSING of the Lord, it MAKETH RICH, and he ADDETH NO SORROW with it” Proverbs 10:22. 

This indicates that it is as we PROSPER in our SPIRIT-BEING in the grace, that we are then able to ensure and assure that our whole being prospers accordingly [3 John 1:2]; and we are positioned with the wholeness default – and the wholeness default is about our triune being: spirit, soul and body. For we are, by default, through knowledge to share and partake in all that pertains to life and godliness in the grace, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

“May grace (God’s favor) and peace (which is perfect well-being, all necessary good, all spiritual prosperity, and freedom from fears and agitating passions and moral conflicts) be multiplied to you in [the full, personal, precise, and correct] KNOWLEDGE of God and of Jesus our Lord. 3 For His DIVINE POWER has bestowed upon us ALL THINGS that [are requisite and suited] to LIFE and GODLINESS, through the [full, personal] KNOWLEDGE of Him Who CALLED us by and to His own glory and excellence (virtue) 4 By means of these He has BESTOWED on us His precious and exceedingly great promises, so that through them you may escape [by flight] from the moral decay (rottenness and corruption) that is in the world because of covetousness (lust and greed), and become SHARERS (PARTAKERS) of the DIVINE NATURE” 2 Peter 1:2-4/Amplified Classic Edition. 

Know that Month SEPTEMBER is the ninth month of the year in the JULIAN and GREGORIAN calendars, and it is the third of four months to have a length of 30 days, and the fourth of five months to have a length of fewer than 31 days. September in the Northern Hemisphere and March in the Southern Hemisphere are seasonal equivalents. And Month SEPTEMBER in the northern hemisphere is usually considered the first month of autumn. For many, the month of September signals the end of summer, the beginning of autumn, and the start of a new school year. With respect to the calendar, September marks the beginning of the series of months named after their numerical position in the year. 

Therefore, in this Month of September, know that you have All it takes to BECOME in Christ Jesus, as we have been endowed and endued with the enabling grace of God in the grace. So, make an intentional choice to ensure you SCRIPTURALLY PROSPER your spirit-being for the good of your whole [total] being, for the WORD of God works and is alive today, to make it all possible for our now and tomorrow, as our God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. 

So, in this Month September we will be exploring on how to ensure we PROSPER our SPIRIT-BEING, in order to PROSPER also in other aspects of our doing life; and this is in ensuring and assuring our total being prospers in the grace. For Month SEPTEMBER – the ninth month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars – can be summed up Scripturally in this wise:  

  • It is to remind one of the Nine (9) FRUITS of the Holy Spirit to develop and build up the Christian FAITH, CHARACTER, BEHAVIOUR, and CONDUCT, enabling in the grace. [Galatians 5:22-25; 1 Timothy 3:15]. 
  • It is to remind one of the Nine (9) SPIRITUAL GIFTS of the Spirit to build up and give one that enabling grace of God to function in MINISTERIAL, SPIRITUAL and CIVIL [CIVILITY] demands in grace. [1 Corinthians 12:7-11, 27-31; Romans 12:1-8]
  • It teaches us the essence of WHOLENESS and COMPLETENESS and FULFILMENT and TOTALITY and MATURING, since the number nine [9] means PERFECTION in a scriptural sense. [1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 4:12-13]. 

In this month, we set our hearts on “PROSPERING YOUR SPIRIT-BEING FOR YOUR WHOLENESS [TOTALITY]” in life and godliness, in the grace of God in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. And I pray that by God’s enabling we shall, through the course of this month, explore how you may PROSPER in your spirit-being to ensure and assure the prosperity of your total being in the grace, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

Blessed regards. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Beloved, I pray that in every way you may SUCCEED and PROSPER and be in good health [physically], just as [I know] your SOUL PROSPERS [SPIRITUALLY]” 3 John 1:2/Amplified. 

“This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you[a] shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way PROSPEROUS, and then you will have good success” Joshua 1:8/NKJV.

“Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: 

yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, 

which hath PLEASURE in the PROSPERITY of his servant” Psalms 35:27. 

“And the very God of peace sanctify you WHOLLY; and I pray God your WHOLE spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:23. 

“For THE WORD of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do” Hebrews 4:12-13. 

“The Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, AND TO BLESS [PROSPER, EMPOWER] ALL THE WORK OF THINE HAND: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow” Deuteronomy 28:12/Emphasis Mine. 

“But my horn [my emblem of strength and power] You have exalted like that of a wild ox; I am anointed with fresh oil [for Your service]. 11 My eye has looked on my foes; My ears hear of the evildoers who rise up against me. 12 The righteous will flourish like the date palm [long-lived, upright and useful]; They will grow like a cedar in Lebanon [majestic and stable]. 13 Planted in the house of the Lord, They will flourish in the courts of our God. 14 [Growing in grace] they will still thrive and bear fruit and prosper in old age; They will flourish and be vital and fresh [rich in trust and love and contentment]; 15 [They are living memorials] to declare that the Lord is upright and faithful [to His promises]; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him” Psalms 92:10-15/Amplified. 

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ” Ephesians 1:3. 

“Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that THE BLESSING of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith” Galatians 3:13-14. 

“THE BLESSING of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it” Proverbs 10:22. 

“May grace (God’s favor) and peace (which is perfect well-being, all necessary good, all spiritual prosperity, and freedom from fears and agitating passions and moral conflicts) be multiplied to you in [the full, personal, precise, and correct] knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. 3 For His divine power has bestowed upon us all things that [are requisite and suited] to life and godliness, through the [full, personal] knowledge of Him Who called us by and to His own glory and excellence (virtue) 4 By means of these He has bestowed on us His precious and exceedingly great promises, so that through them you may escape [by flight] from the moral decay (rottenness and corruption) that is in the world because of covetousness (lust and greed), and become sharers (partakers) of the divine nature” 2 Peter 1:2-4/Amplified Classic Edition. 

SUMMARY 

The message is a September charge to intentionally PROSPER YOUR SPIRIT-BEING as the foundation for WHOLENESS [TOTALITY] in life and godliness. It anchors prosperity in redemption, not striving — because in Christ we have already been BLESSED, REDEEMED, and EMPOWERED by grace to live and succeed in spirit, soul, and body. 

Key Points 

  1. Blessing Precedes Prosperity 
    God has BLESSED us in Christ Jesus and REDEEMED us from SIN to RIGHTEOUSNESS [Ephesians 1:3; Galatians 3:13-14]. His BLESSEDNESS ENRICHES without sorrow or side effects [Proverbs 10:22]. To be BLESSED is to be EMPOWERED to PROSPER and fulfil purpose in grace. This is the DNA of our justification in redemption. 
  2. Spirit-First Prosperity Produces Total Prosperity 
    “Beloved, I pray that in every way you may SUCCEED and PROSPER and be in good health, just as your SOUL PROSPERS” [3 John 1:2]. As we prosper in our SPIRIT-BEING in grace, we can ensure and assure that our whole being prospers. This is the “wholeness default” — spirit, soul, and body [1 Thessalonians 5:23]. 
  3. Prosperity Comes Through Knowledge of God and His Word 
    All things that pertain to LIFE and GODLINESS are given to us through the full KNOWLEDGE of Him [2 Peter 1:2-4]. The WORD of God is alive and working to make prosperity possible now and tomorrow [Hebrews 4:12-13; Joshua 1:8]. God takes PLEASURE in the PROSPERITY of His servant [Psalms 35:27]. 
  4. September = 9: A Call to Maturity and Wholeness 
    September is the 9th month. Scripturally, 9 speaks of PERFECTION, WHOLENESS, and MATURING. 
  5. Nine FRUITS of the Spirit: to build FAITH, CHARACTER, BEHAVIOUR, and CONDUCT [Galatians 5:22-25] 
  6. Nine SPIRITUAL GIFTS: to function in MINISTERIAL, SPIRITUAL, and CIVIL demands [1 Corinthians 12:7-11] 
  7. Triune Wholeness: to become sharers/partakers of the DIVINE NATURE and escape decay [2 Peter 1:4] 
  8. You Are Already Endowed and Endued 
    In Christ we have ALL it takes to BECOME. The enabling grace of God has equipped us. The righteous will flourish like a cedar, thrive in old age, and be vital and fresh [Psalms 92:12-14]. The Lord blesses ALL THE WORK of our hands [Deuteronomy 28:12]. [prospers][empowers] 

Call to Action 

  1. Make an intentional choice this month: SCRIPTURALLY PROSPER your spirit-being first. Feed on the Word Day and night, meditate, and do it [Joshua 1:8]. 
  2. Build the 9 Fruits and walk in the 9 Gifts: Let your character, conduct, and ministry reflect maturity and wholeness in grace. 
  3. Live from Blessing, not for Blessing: Remember you are already BLESSED in Christ. From that place, pursue purpose, work, and health knowing God’s power has already supplied ALL things for life and godliness. 
  4. Guard your wholeness: Present your WHOLE spirit, soul, and body to God for preservation [1 Thessalonians 5:23], so that you prosper in every way this season. 

Final Charge: This September, set your heart to prosper in your spirit-being. As your inner man grows strong in grace and knowledge, your total being — spirit, soul, and body — will follow into health, success, and wholeness. Amen. Blessed regards.
