What does it mean to be successful? To be successful means to break or burst forth into increase and progress and greatness. For example, a well is different from a fountain. A well requires drawing to get its water out, whereas a fountain is self-pressured, and pours out its water without drawing, Success is like the breaking forth of a fountain of water. It pours out abundantly and richly without drawing or human effort. Genesis 26: 73,"The man began to prosper, and continued prospering until he became very prosperous."

The Godkind of prosperity is void of human struggle; it is God causing you to abound in goodness, favour, increase, progress and greatness That's what it means to prosper, it is breaking forth without efforts or struggles When struggle and hardship are involved, that Is not prosperity. When you are the one running to and fro to make ends meet, sweating it out profusely, it is not prosperity. Yes, you have to work hard and be diligent in your work or assignment, but it is graceful and prosperous. Hard work is not hardship. Hard work is graceful diligence which produces prosperity; but hardship is a curse, it is struggle without anything to show for it. Christ has redeemed us from hardship; we have been set free from the curse of hardship that we might prosper abundantly.
The Bible tells us of Isaac, the covenant son of father Abraham, who was a partakerof the blessing of Abraham; that he began to prosper, and continued prospering until he became very prosperous. The King James Version of the same verse tells us that he waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great, You, too, are the seed of Abraham. Galatians 3:29 tells us that everyone that is Christ's is Abraham's seed, and an heir of the promise made to Abraham. You, too, ought to abound in God's goodness causing you to begin to prosper, and continue to prosper until you become very prosperous. Prosperity is God's mandate and blessing on your life. Go forward and take control of situations.

God wants to bless us. He wants us to be successful. But never get that confused with money. God wants you to know Him. That is what this whole salvation thing is about, not obtaining wealth, and living a happy life.
You have a very poor understanding of the Bible. In Phillipians 4:19, it says " I will supply your demand according to My riches in Christ glory" . This verse goes to show how Christians can be blessed to a great extent as long as God lives. FYI, Jesus is a descendant of Abraham and by believing in Jesus, Christians are also heirs to the promises of Abraham.
God wants us blessed.... Never forget that..... Thanks
This is such a beautiful message,success is resting on what christ has done,as believers we are a success already and one of the way to manifest success I feeding constantly on the word of God and letting the word product result,Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
Prosperity is NOT God's mandate and blessing on your life. The promises God made to Abraham don't apply to Christians. So are Christians richer than nonchristians? No, they aren't.

To be successful we need the grace of God because His grace will open doors for us.
God's goodness made you special, and He wants you to have a successful ... Never forget for one moment that God is compassionate and gracious, abounding in loving- kindness.
Success is the best key given by God. With God all things are posible. God wants us to be successful that is why he want us to come to him. God is great. His mercy is boundless.

Nice post @innozent. God delights in the prosperity of His children, however, his standard of prosperity (through His word) is abruptly different from the world's definition of success. God's kind of prosperity is around, but have spiritual prosperity or well-being at its core. (3 John 2)

Kind regards.

God says in his word that he who has the son inside will run rivers of living water, we have success to teves Jesus Christ since he is the source that never stalls.
