“And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God: and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him to prosper.” - 2 Chronicles 26v5
When Uzziah became king he did what was right in the sight of the Lord, and as long as he did that he was a success. When he turned away from following God he lost all promise of prosperity. Prospering and following God are inextricably linked.
When we think of prospering we usually think of material things. That however is a man-centred concept. Our ultimate desire should be to spiritually prosper and we are only to prosper spiritually today when we are following the Lord. We can’t hope to neglect Him and still prosper spiritually. If we truly desire spiritual prosperity we must prioritise following Him.
