“Beloved, Iwish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thysoul prospereth”(3 John 1:2).
Even thoughmuch emphasis is sometimes placed on God’s concern for our health, wealth, andgeneral well being, God is more concerned about your spiritual growth andwellbeing than anything else. He’s more interested in the growth anddevelopment of your human spirit, for He knows that when your soul and spiritprosper, you’ll also prosper in your health, finances and other areas of yourlife.
It’sessential that your spirit grows unto maturity, for that’s the only way you’reguaranteed to live a successful life. Success is beyond buying a car, owning ahouse or an estate, giving birth to a child, passing your exams, or landing agood job. True success is when you’re living in God’s perfect will for yourlife. And only those who have grown spiritually through the Word are able todiscern the perfect will of God.
The quickestway to grow spiritually is by investing your time and resources in spiritualthings. Like a wise farmer who plants his precious seeds in the ground inanticipation of a big harvest, you also must invest in the things of the Spiritin order to reap a mighty harvest. Many haven’t learnt to do this, that’s whythey’ve remained at the same level for a long time.
Learn toinvest your time in the study of the Word, prayer, soul-wining and otherspiritual activities like attending church services and other scheduledmeetings regularly. Spend quality time in fellowship with the Holy Spirit everyday. Invest your resources by constantly sowing seeds into the furtherance ofthe gospel. Before long, there’ll be a bountiful harvest, and you’ll experiencetremendous growth in every area of your life.
Verse Summary: What Ecclesiastes 11:2 Has to Say About Money
“Invest in seven ventures, yes, in eight; you do not know what disaster may come upon the land.” In other words: Avoid risk, avoid disaster, by diversifying your income!
Paul prays for strength in the inner man, the spiritual part of us, the opposite of the outward man, or body. The unregenerate man lacks an inner man and lives only for the outward, physical part of life. The inner man is the spiritual part. The inner man can find comfort even when the outward man is perishing.
