Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. - 3 John 1:2

Christians who have come to full age will also produce tangible results according to their spiritual growth; and since they have been feeding on ‘solid food,’ they qualify to get ‘solid food blessings.’
Such Christians will produce prosperity in their spirit, soul and body. They will take possessions of the blessing in the Word of God, not merely confessing it. The blessings they have will have overflow to others, and they will lay hold of great things they believed God for, because God can entrust those things into their care.
So whilst babies who only see ‘milk’ kinds of blessings struggle with not having enough in their lives, those of full age who are fed with ‘solid food’ can boast of having more than enough. Because our prosperity in all things is proportionate to how we prosper in our spirits.
Again, the difference between these two groups is their obedience to the Word of God. If you have been acting like a spiritual baby all along, don’t feel condemned, just take instructions and be corrected. It is not too late to obey and grow in the Word. If you are willing, the Spirit of God will help you take the right steps to your maturity – victory.
Have a fantastic weekend!
