132 Bible Verses about Prosperity
There's a kind of prosperity that isn't of this world, not fleeting, that doesn't fade with time, but stays constant no matter what. It's the prosperity that comes from God, the kind that's eternal, the kind that isn't based on how much money you have, but on the growth of your inner self.

Joshua 1:8 says: "Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful."

In the end, they're just people who had a good run, but not the joy of living in freedom.
God doesn't want that for His children. That's why, before He makes you prosperous, He'll shape you so you don't lose yourself because of money, since "the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil."
