Let them shout for Joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: uea, let them say continually, let the Lord be magnified which have pleasure in the prosperity of his servant
Psalm 35:27
God wants the prosperity of his servants and the righteous no doubt but he desires it in honest means and not by unrighteous means. But unfortunately, lots of folks want to make it at all cost and by all means. They want it effortlessly and with minimal input. Sadly, more often than not results to stealing in one way or the other. The devil who happen to be thief right from the beginning aids them in achieving this fit in a cunning way and some them often become very "Prosperous". Thus when some children of God sees this "Prosperity", they are tempted to apply the devil's method.This is a slippery slope every child of God must avoid because it leads to destruction. (Psalm 73:1-3,17-18).

God thinks about the thief and he hates him with a passion, hence one of his cardinal commandments says; Thou shall not steal and as such if you must prosper, you must avoid being a friend with a thief.
So many thieves abound today, stealing at their various places of work. I urge you not to align with them.
listen!! Jer 17:11
“As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool.”

Prosperity is not meant for liars; nor is it for those who use fake measures doctored invoices (Prov 11:1). Some contractors will be asked to buy 20 bags and they will buy 10 and use the rest for themselves or will buy 20 but use only 10 and proceed to use the remaining 10 for their own projects.
Prosperity is also not for the greedy because they can even kill to make wealth.
Laziness is also an unrighteous act, and it makes one susceptible to sin like stealing. Lastly, prosperity is not for drunkards and gluttons neither is it given to those who live a life of seeking pleasure.

Beloved, although God wants you to be prosperous, he want you to go about it te right way so that your prosperity does not become a curse to you and your household.
