Prosperity III : Healthy, Wealthy and Peaceful

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

It is God's will that we prosper and yet still have peace. There are those whose prosperity brought with it worries, pressures, troubles from loans to the point of even taking pills to get sound sleep, taking alcohol to temporarily forget the troubles they are in, play hide and seek from loan shacks and banks coming to get a hold of the property they put in as security, police cases from squoaters they evited illegally from their land without adequate compensation, people blackmailing them or threating to expose them in the papers for the wrong way they got their riches, kidnaps of their children or loved ones, endless imprisonment for fraud etc. The list is endless. 

Some after amassing the wealth without a care of their health, end up spending the rest of their lives spending heavily to keep themselves alive, some after wrecking their marriages or families or stepping down on others on their way up end up becoming so lonely and miserable. I don't think you need any if that and that's not God’s Will to walk in. Sorrow is not your potion for the blessing of God makes rich and adds no sorrow to it.

There are some after hearing such troubles end up wishing to have peace and no wealth, which is also another poor way of thinking. Its possible to have all your needs supplied and be at peace. That's true prosperity. Thinking you cannot have all is thinking the way the world does, its a fallen way of thinking. 

God’s blessing will always bring with it money and riches. Money is not the blessing but the blessing brings money along and peace too. You can prosper in all three areas, your health, wealth and peace, hallelujah. That's true Bible prosperity.
