The business world understand a sagacious rule: “If you want to gain wealth, then you have to outsmart others.” Many people considered honesty, virtues and moral values as weaknesses if your want to be financially successful. However, gaining riches may not be the total meaning of a prosperous life. In fact, wealth is a very dangerous foundation of a man’s life. During the Global crisis of 2008, we read of several millionaires who committed suicide when their business suddenly became bankrupt.
Genuine prosperity which is based on the word of God includes not only accumulation of wealth but also good health and peace of mind springing from spiritual security from God. The bible said: “The blessing of the LORD makes a person rich, and he adds no sorrow with it.” Pro 10:22
King Solomon, who ruled in the golden days of prosperity of Israel from 971 BC to 931 BC, wrote the book of Proverbs under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Let us study these biblical principles and discover that it is also relevant to our lives today as it works to Solomon almost 3,000 years ago.
