“Prosperity, wealth, and success have been debated within and without spiritual traditions and continue to be argued over today. Some see material abundance as disconnected from spiritual life and virtue. However, my examination of sacred texts including the Bible, Hermetic teachings, and other spiritual works reveals that prosperity is not only encouraged but divinely ordained. There are thousands of promises in these texts.
Both inner wealth (spiritual peace, joy, wisdom) and outer wealth (financial and material success) are essential parts of our life. Are you ready to dive into just some of the principles that underscore this truth? In the Bible, prosperity is often linked to faith, righteousness, and obedience to divine laws. The story of Job is one of the most compelling illustrations of prosperity from a spiritual perspective.
Job is initially a man of immense wealth and success, with abundant livestock, land, and family. However, through a series of tests, Job loses everything, his health, wealth, and loved ones. Yet, through unwavering faith in god, Job ultimately experiences not only restoration but multiplication of his previous wealth. Job 42:10 says, ‘The Lord restored Job’s fortunes and gave him twice as much as he had before.’
DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF
The Job story demonstrates how god can restore and expand material wealth when individuals remain aligned with spiritual values. Another key figure is Solomon, the son of King David. In 1 Kings 3:9-13, Solomon prays not for wealth but for wisdom to lead his people. Because Solomon prioritized wisdom, god granted him both wisdom and extraordinary wealth. The promise is that the divine, source, god or consciousness will provide abundantly for you.
‘Moreover, I will give you what you have not asked for—both wealth and honor—so that in your lifetime you will have no equal among kings.’ Solomon’s prosperity was a direct result of his spiritual wisdom, illustrating that inner riches often precede material abundance. Abraham is also a prime example of spiritual obedience leading to wealth. In Genesis 13:2, we learn that ‘Abram had become very wealthy in livestock and in silver and gold.’
Abraham’s prosperity was linked to his faithfulness and his covenant with God. His story demonstrates prosperity is a promise that extends beyond material wealth to include spiritual, emotional, and generational blessings. In Hermetic philosophy, the cornerstone of esoteric traditions linked to ancient Egyptian and Greek thought, the principle of mentalism asserts that the universe is a creation of the mind.
DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF
‘All is mind,’ states the first Hermetic principle. This means your thoughts, intentions, and beliefs shape your reality. This teaching suggests that prosperity is not only possible but inevitable when you align your thoughts and energy with abundance. The Hermetic principle of correspondence, ‘As above, so below; as within, so without’ further reinforces that the outer world reflects the inner state. Your outer world is a mirror of your internal one.
If you cultivate a mindset of wealth, prosperity, and gratitude, the external world will mirror your inner states. Correspondence teaches that spiritual and material wealth are interconnected and not mutually exclusive. Furthermore, Hermeticism teaches the importance of polarity. All things exist on a spectrum, and what seems like opposites are, in fact, two ends of the same reality. Poverty and wealth are poles of the same spectrum.
Two sides to one coin, meaning that the potential for wealth is always present, EVEN in states of lack. By shifting your mindset and focus, you can move from scarcity to abundance! So, stop waiting and get going. There’s prosperity promises in other spiritual traditions too. I can’t share them all here and now but here’s a few more. The Bhagavad Gita, one of the most revered spiritual texts in Hinduism, addresses property in this way.
DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF
It stresses the relationship between spirituality and material prosperity. In the text, Lord Krishna advises Arjuna to perform his duties without attachment to the outcomes but assures him that doing so will result in both spiritual liberation and material success. Remember this. Set your intention but stop dictating the outcomes. Allow it! The Gita teaches when you align with your higher purpose (dharma), prosperity in all forms naturally follows.
In Buddhism, material wealth is not the ultimate goal. However, prosperity is seen as a natural outcome of good karma and ethical living. The Dighajanu Sutta outlines four essential qualities for success: effort, protection of wealth, association with wise people, and balanced living. These guidelines emphasize that material success is not only acceptable but desirable when it is pursued ethically and wisely! Get this! Prosperity is your divine birthright.
Across spiritual traditions, this message is clear! Prosperity is your divine birthright and not something to be shunned or denied. The creator desires abundance for all, both internally and externally. This is echoed in Deuteronomy 8:18, where it is written… ‘But remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you the ability to produce wealth.’ Wealth is framed as a divine gift. It’s something that comes from god, the universe, source, and is meant to be used for good.
DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF
In Psalm 35:27, it is declared, ‘Let the Lord be magnified, who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.’ Get this! God finds joy in the success and prosperity of his own. It is not sinful or selfish to desire wealth. Rather, it is a fulfillment of god’s will when pursued righteously. In 3rd John 1:2, you’ll find, ‘Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers.’
Physical prosperity is connected to, or with, spiritual well-being. True abundance is BOTH material wealth and spiritual fulfillment. To align with divine prosperity, it’s crucial to cultivate an inner state of abundance and to take practical actions in the outer world. This means nurturing a mindset of gratitude. Activate your attitude. Develop faith and certainty in yourself, universe and these principles and promises. GO FIRST in all of these!
Practice generosity. Develop wisdom and make wise decisions. Manage your resources carefully. Make your money work for you instead of working for it. Serve others! Add value. Uplift and edify. Do not discriminate. Love all. Love is powerful, manifesting energy! Jesus taught in Luke 6:38, ‘Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.’
DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF
This is the Principle of Reciprocity, and it means prosperity flows abundantly when we give freely, trusting in the abundance of the universe. Give and you will be given too in exponential ways. Discover this promise. It works. Prosperity is not just about accumulating material wealth. Ultimately, it’s about living a life of purpose, joy, and fulfillment, fully aligned with divine intention.
The Bible and other spiritual texts affirm that god or source wants you to thrive, not only spiritually but also materially. When you recognize this truth, you can release any limiting beliefs around wealth and success and embrace prosperity as part of your spiritual journey. GET THIS! Whether you look to Job’s restoration, Solomon’s wisdom, or Hermetic teachings on the power of the mind, the message is one and the same. It is consistent!
Prosperity is your birthright. It is time to claim it, for your own well-being and for the good you can do in the world! Both are part of the process. Prosperity, wealth, health, and happiness are available to you, and everyone, when you align with divine principles and open your heart to receive. Get this and you get much. More to come. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes
