Ways A Man Can Prosper His Soul - Pastor Michael A. Oke

WAYS A MAN CAN PROSPER HIS SOUL.

Text: 3 John 1:2

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

Feed the soul with the Spiritual Nourishing Meals regularly.
1. Ps 119:25 My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word.
Many people know how to feed their bodies through eating good food, fruits, vegetables, and drinking water.
If you want your soul to prosper, it must be fed with meditations in the word of God, fasting, and praying.
Since the soul is the seat of God in humans, it must be fed with spiritual meals.
The more you feed the soul regularly with spiritual foods, the more the soul is enriched with spiritual prosperity.

Strengthen the soul with pure thoughts.
- Mark 7:15 There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.
If you desire that your soul should be strong in you without making it vulnerable to Satanic paralysis, you must be very conscious of the thoughts you allow to reside in your heart.
- Ps 66:18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:
Therefore, you can prosper your soul if you set your affections on the things above.
- Col 3:2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

Preserve the soul with holiness.
- Psalm 16:10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
Without holiness, there is no preservation for the soul! And if your soul is not preserved, it will be troubled by Satan always,
That’s why holiness, righteousness, and faithfulness are the great elements in the hands of Christians to drive a soul to the Kingdom of Heaven.

Surrender the soul to God who can deliver it from the grave.
- Psalm 30:3 O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
A lot of people have surrendered their souls to the devil in a bid to get the splendors of this world.
If you refuse to surrender your soul to God, the soul will not be delivered from the grave – this means the soul will go into damnation.
The prosperity of your soul is when it lives eternally with God.
Striving for soul immortalization in Heaven is the best goodness you can offer your soul before you die.
To whom have you surrendered your soul to? If not God, change the decision now and surrender your soul to God who shall redeem it from the power of the grave.
- Ps 49:15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me.

A RECAP: The best way to prosper your soul is to:

Feed it with the word of God, fasting and praying.
- Then the soul can also be strengthened when you allow pure thoughts to reside in your heart.
- And lastly, purify the soul with holiness.
- Surrender the soul to God.
