Genesis 12:2-3 (NKJV): "I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed."

Many have equated prosperity with money or material possessions, but these things are only indications, or evidence, of prosperity. Prosperity at its core is far beyond money. True prosperity is to know God in this world, and to understand how to access His covenant promises. 3 John 1:2 says, 'Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in every way and [that your body] may keep well, even as [I know] your soul keeps well and prospers.' A mind that is fixed on and rooted in the Word of God is grounded in its practical wisdom and paves the way for us to prosper. Simply put, living out the Word that has become alive in our hearts each day causes us to prosper and succeed in all we do. This truth is what Abraham's covenant was founded on, what Joshua clung to, and what Psalm 1 instructs us to live by. Make God's Word the principle thing; let its wisdom govern your ways and prosperity will be a never-ending commodity in your life.
