You Can Thrive - Pastor Ekpenyong

3 John 2 TPT 

“Beloved friend, I pray that you are prospering in every way and that you continually enjoy good health, just as your soul is prospering. 

The prosperity of your soul is a personal responsibility.

While many have somebody to blame for where they are located, the condition of your soul is your responsibility.

A man was once very angry at a Preacher for saying “the outcome of your life is your responsibility.” While some will reason with that man saying, “how can the preacher make such a grievous statement,” it sounds like good news to me because it means I can make my life as beautiful as I want it to be.

A soul that is prospering causes other areas to thrive as well.

Definition of thrive

• To grow vigorously: flourish

• To gain in wealth or possessions: progress

• To progress toward or realize a goal despite or because of circumstances.

If you want to thrive just take care of the atmosphere and you most certainly will; this will not be necessarily because the circumstances of your life have changed but because the condition of your soul is flourishing.

Genesis 39:2 AMP “But the Lord was with Joseph, and he [though a slave] was a successful and prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.”

We can see from the above text that Joseph, though a slave was successful and prosperous.

Therefore, what causes a person to thrive is not the circumstances about the person but the condition of the person’s soul.

I believe that a thriving atmosphere is bigger and more influential than all the disadvantages resulting from location, education, economy or any other factors.

Quit the blame game and take on the reins by creating your own thriving environment.

Glory!
