What does being prosperous in the Lord mean?

Answered in 1 source

Being prosperous in the Lord refers to spiritual prosperity and being made righteous in God's sight.

The concept of prosperity in the Bible goes far beyond financial wealth; it encompasses spiritual vitality and wholeness. In Genesis 39:2, we see that the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man, which signifies that prosperity, in its truest sense, is being made fit and righteous before God. This idea echoes the prayer of the Apostle John, who wished for his congregation to prosper 'even as thy soul prospereth' (3 John 1:2). True prosperity is measured by our relationship with Christ and our growth in His likeness. When God prospers us, He transforms our hearts to align with His will, enabling us to experience lasting fulfillment and peace which surpasses worldly standards.
