SECRET TO A CHRISTIAN PROSPERITY
Everyone of us wants to prosper in every way. We all want to succeed at what we do, to advance or progress in our business, finances, and other areas of our lives.

This has compelled many people to look for ways, principles and teachings on how they can prosper in life.
I have never seen anyone who wants to fail continuosly in his or her life. Parents wants their children to propser in their academics and become great in the near future. If there is anything which can speed us up in life we wouldn't wait to chase it till we get hold of it.
God is the best father we have got who also wants the best for our lives and it is His will that we prosper in everything we do. He is delighted when we prosper:
Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favor my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, who has pleasure in the prosperity of his servant. Psalm 35:27
God is happy to see us succeeding and not failing, He wants to see us having good health and not being sick, He wants us to have more and lend to many and not beg. When we prosper we fulfill His will which says: be friutful, multiply and take dominion over the earth.
If we us human wants our children to succeed or make it in life how much more would our heavenly do anything just to make sure we prosper.
Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? Mathew 7:9-11
God will do everything just to make sure we are satisfied or fulfilled, for by worrying we make Him look like an irresponsible father who cannot take care of His own children.
How can we rule, take dominion, influence the affairs of this world when we are broke?
How can we do ministry work effectively and win souls for our kingdom when we are poor and lack the resources to embark on evangelism?
Prosperity is indeed needed for our lives as well as for the kingdom business.
Secret to A Christian Prosperity
Let me share with you one secret to a Christian's prosperity.
There are many things the bible teaches on how we can prosper. Some preachers have dealt with the doctrine of proserity in ways that often makes a lot of people assume it is even wrong to teach about prosperity.
I believe it so important that we teach people according to the bible and not something that is out of context.
Prosperity simply means to succeed, to advance, to progress in anything you do.

To achieve this we need the one whose influence on our lives can make it happen or come through.
People who associate themselves with rich people eventually become rich. If this is true then people who also asociate themselves with only poor people end up poor.
For us to prosper we need God to be with us all the time, that is, we need His presence daily in our lives. That's the grestest secret. Whatever you need to do and experience have God's presence in your life is what you must be committed to do.

Joseph was sold into slavery in Egypt. He was a stranger in a foreign land but that never stopped him from prospering. He prospered in everything he did with his hands for God was with him.
And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand. Genesis 39:2-3
David grew great and became more powerful than Saul and any other king because the Lord was with him:
And David went on, and grew great, and the LORD God of hosts was with him 2 Samuel 5:10
If God is with you all the time you will surely succeed in every way. We should never joke with anything that brings God close to us. These two men, David and Joseph always did what pleases God and that was the reson why God was with them.
A man cannot fail when God is with him, this is the reason why David prayed earnestly that the presence(The Holy Spirit) of God will not depart from him when he sinned against God:
Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from your presence; and take not your holy Spirit from me. Psalm 51:9-11

God takes delight in the prosperity of his children
That's what matters to Him
No, God takes delight in the righteousness of his children.
God has given us the power to succeed, we only have to activate the power through persistent prayer, obedience to His word. If we can do this we are surely victorious
Thank you @johnsonkoranteng
God doesn't promise us prosperity, wealth, health, or happiness. God's highest goal is to make us more like his son.
God isn't going to answer your prayers for wealth just so you can selfishly buy all the things that you want. James makes it clear.
(James 4:1-3 NIV) What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you? {2} You want something but don't get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God. {3} When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.
