You're not meant to struggle or labour to live a prosperous life; it's your birthright. If you'd serve the Lord diligently and delight yourself in Him, you'll live your days in prosperity and your years in pleasures. This is the heritage of every child of God. Not only is prosperity God's desire for you, it's been given to you freely as the seed of Abraham. Abraham, the Bible says, was blessed in all things, and so are you, because Galatians 3:29 says,"And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise." You didn't have to struggle for this blessing; it was bequeathed to you as an inheritance, being an heir of God, and a joint heir with Christ (Romans 8:17). It's important to realize that prosperity is more than having money. Being rich, wealthy, or affluent is just an aspect of prosperity. Prosperity is all-encompassing; it means to be safe, well and sound; to fare well in life, and to live happily in health, peace, riches and favour! It also means to have an excellent life, and experiencewholeness in every aspect of your life being successful in all you do:"Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth" (3 John Vs. 2). The words of the psalmist in Psalm 1:1-3 further describes the beautiful life of prosperity the Lord has given you:"...And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper."
