17 Powerful Scriptures On Wealth, Prosperity, And Success
How does wealth, prosperity, and success line up with scriptures in the Bible? Well the Bible is laced with scriptures about wealth, scriptures about prosperity and there are even scriptures about success!
Many people do not like to associate these words with being in the Bible. They don’t want to admit that it’s Biblical to be a successful Christian, or that God could in fact bring wealth and prosperity in your life. But these three promises are in the scriptures of the Bible.
“So, are you saying that God wants all Christians to be wealthy?”
This is a comment that was written on another article that I wrote concerning finances and what the Bible has to say about certain things.
And to be honest, I really didn’t know how to answer that question. I’m going to give you specific scriptures about prosperity, success and wealth and I will let you decide the answer to that question yourself.
Scriptures About Prosperity
Psalms 35:27 KJV ‘Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.’
This scripture alone lets you know that God wants you to live a life full of prosperity and disputes any thoughts that money is a bad thing to have.
The meaning of prosperity is successful in material terms; flourishing financially, bringing wealth and success.
A few synonyms of prosperity are thriving, successful, profitable, fruitful, growing, progressing.
It is not God’s will for you to get to this point in life and just stop and be at a standstill. His will for you is to continue moving forward.
- Job 22:21 – “Submit to God and be at peace with him; in this way, prosperity will come to you.”
- 2 Chronicles 26:5 “He sought God during the days of Zechariah, who instructed him in the fear of God. As long as he sought the LORD, God gave him success.”
- Proverbs 3:9-10 NKJV “Honor the Lord with your possessions, and with the firstfruits of all your increase; so your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine.”
- Proverbs 28:25 NLT “Greed causes fighting; trusting the LORD leads to prosperity.”
- Psalms 35:27 KJV“Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favor my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, ‘Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.’”
Scriptures On Gaining Wealth
- Proverbs 11:24-25 NLT “Give freely and become more wealthy; be stingy and lose everything. The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.”
- Luke 6:38 KJV “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.”
- Deuteronomy 8:18 NKJV “And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.”
- Proverbs 13:22 AMP “A good man leaves an inheritance [of moral stability and goodness] to his children’s children, and the wealth of the sinner [finds its way eventually] into the hands of the righteous, for whom it was laid up.”
- Proverbs 28:20 “A faithful man will abound with blessings, but whoever hastens to be rich will not go unpunished.”
Scriptures On Financial Prosperity
- 2 Corinthians 9:6-15 AMP “[Remember] this: he who sows sparingly and grudgingly will also reap sparingly and grudgingly, and he who sows generously [that blessings may come to someone] will also reap generously and with blessings. Let each one [give] as he has made up his own mind and purposed in his heart, not reluctantly or sorrowfully or under compulsion, for God loves (He takes pleasure in, prizes above other things, and is unwilling to abandon or to do without) a cheerful (joyous, “prompt to do it”) giver [whose heart is in his giving].And God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient [possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation].
As it is written, He [the benevolent person] scatters abroad; He gives to the poor; His deeds of justice and goodness and kindness and benevolence will go on and endure forever! And [God] Who provides seed for the sower and bread for eating will also provide and multiply your [resources for] sowing and increase the fruits of your righteousness [which manifests itself in active goodness, kindness, and charity].
Thus you will be enriched in all things and in every way, so that you can be generous, and [your generosity as it is] administered by us will bring forth thanksgiving to God.
For the service that the ministering of this fund renders does not only fully supply what is lacking to the saints (God’s people), but it also overflows in many [cries of] thanksgiving to God. Because at [your] standing of the test of this ministry, they will glorify God for your loyalty and obedience to the Gospel of Christ which you confess, as well as for your generous-hearted liberality to them and to all [the other needy ones].
And they yearn for you while they pray for you, because of the surpassing measure of God’s grace (His favor and mercy and spiritual blessing which is shown forth) in you.
Now thanks be to God for His Gift, [precious] beyond telling [His indescribable, inexpressible, free Gift]!”
Scriptures On Success
- Deuteronomy 30:9 NKJV “The Lord your God will make you abound in all the work of your hand, in the fruit of your body, in the increase of your livestock, and in the produce of your land for good. For the Lord will again rejoice over you for good as He rejoiced over your fathers.”
- Joshua 1:8-9 NKJV “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
- Proverbs 21:5 NLT “Good planning and hard work lead to prosperity, but hasty shortcuts lead to poverty.”
- Proverbs 16:3 KJV “Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.”
- Psalms 37:4 KJV “Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.”
- Jeremiah 29:11 NIV “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
God has given us direct scriptures on success. The Bible says in Matthew chapter 6 to ” But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Seek God first, and your success will follow.
Nehemiah (reference chapter 1) prayed and asked God “give your servant success today.” And God gave that man favor to do what he needed to do.

Secret Of Prosperity In The Bible
Is there a secret to prosperity and wealth?
I think we need to take a look at the verse that says “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom.”
It says that men will give!
It is God’s pleasure to give abundance in our lives when we respectfully and cheerfully obey and follow His commands. But if you are outside of His will, He cannot bless you.
I believe that reading and praying over these scriptures on wealth, prosperity, and success will take you into a new dimension of what God wants to do in your life.

LaDonna, I loved reading this so much today! I think often I can glaze over just how many times finances, prosperity, giving, and success are talked about in the Bible. But, the more I read His Word, the more I understand His heart and how He desires us to live in honor to Him and loving others. Thank you for helping us to see that truth as well with His Word!
Hi, i am from Nigeria where are you from. I have been so blessed by this article, but last month I gave the very best of my clothes, the best of my clothes, i don’t even have lots of clothes but I gave the few I have to the poor 😧😢😢 i am still waiting on God for my reward
Sorry, brother, this is NOT how God works… You should not give with an expectation of a reward. You should give in the name of LOVE, and only love.
This comment cracked me up seriously?
Look God don’t work that way dear his not a gene or a magician. The giving needs to be something dat comes from your heart something you do with joy and appreciation to God for giving you the opportunity to have something to give to help others because, you having to give is a big privilege from God so see that as your little way of saying thank you Lord and also representing the church,the body of Christ and what Christianity is really all about and God that See’s your free heart will reward you in open when you least expect. Remain blessed 🙏
Amen
Thank you, Lord Jesus Christ forgiveness my sin. I know one day you’ll open my door of success and happiness. I am tired of suffering father God, please bless me I know I’m not perfect to get some of your blessings, but I am here this morning to ask for your forgiveness. Please bless me this month I’m tired of suffering Lord Jesus.
Amen those that trust in him shall not be put to shame they are like the tree planted by the river side they shall bring forth fruit in due time
God will remember you just keep trusting in him and working in the way that pleases him be faithful and obedient to his words and he will open the windows of heaven and shower you with blessings that there shall not be room enough to contain it. Remain blessed 🙏
I feel blessed already by reading these scriptures I have no doubt about it thank you for the blessings I received by these readings.
The greatest success for a believer is accomplishment of the will of God . In the Bible prosperity =success which is the will of God . Think of your personal relationship in Christ and then read the scriptures again after praying, and I believe these scriptures will resonate differently with some when you with you when you think of it in terms of your service to the kingdom.
Thank you Jesus for leading me here.
I obtain the grace to succeed and prosper in the Almighty name of Jesus.
Amen!
God bless you for teaching us, more blessings!!!

Jams : 2 says
But whoever looks into the perfect law of liberty, and continues therein, not being a forgetful hearer but also a doer of the word, this person shall be blessed in all they do.
There is an awesome picture of what true prosperity resembles in 3rd John Chapter 3: 2
“Beloved, I wish above all things that you would prosper and be in good health, even as your soul prospers”.
True prosperity could be divided in three parts according to this scripture.
1) All your needs are provided for
2) That your physical body is healthy
3) That you are continually striving to know more of and apply what you know of the ways of God
Dealing with prosperity, success, and wealth and health and spiritual empowerment. I have a church that I have to teach financial discipline to and how to bring to pass a vision that God gave to his man servant I consider him a friend of mine.
We have been ministering in each other’s churches for quite some time now, and I have been given an assignment to teach his members financial discipline and how to reach the goal concerning possessing property and building God’s covenant on earth, which is the church.
Amen
i really appreciate this reading and the verses you provide here for clarity. thank you
Talking about prosperity, God’s will for us the children has never been for us to be in dismay but that we should posses the earth and its fruitfulness. It is our wright as God’s children, not a thing to bargain with. Prosperity, health, wisdom, power and longivity and more of good comforts are ours by virtue of creation by our creator. God never created anyone to be less of all i stated above, but sin is the only enemy of man. Work in the direction of God by obeying and keepings its commands and see if you wont posses your wright as a creator by GOD. “Its an error that your father is the owner of all you can think of on earth, beneath and beyond and your life is shapeless.
God does want us to be a blessing unto others, but He also wants us to expect a blessing and receive His Blessing as we give unto others or if we are not expecting to receive blessing from the Lord are we really believing what His Word says about “Give and it shall be given unto us shall men give unto us, good measure pressed down and running over”? And what about tithing? Yes the tithes belong unto the Lord, but doesn’t God want us to expect to receive and to believe His Word on tithing Mal.3? If we believe His Word about sowing and reaping we will know and believe and expect to receive, without faith it is impossible to please God. When we repent aren’t we supposed to expect to receive forgiveness and cleansing from God? It’s all about faith. We are supposed to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and then all these things shall be added unto us, God does want us to follow Him and love Him not for the Blessings, but for who He is, but He wants us to expect to receive from Him and exercise our faith and receive from Him. How many people work to make money or are we just working a job and not expecting to get paid? Religion and false humility says don’t expect to receive from God. I am so tired of religious people always trying to be humble and it’s just rules as the pharisees. Yes God looks on the heart of man, but also I want to expect to receive from God. If we never practice sowing and reaping the principle / law of prosperity how will we ever know I’d it works and try God at His Word.Come on now some of these comments are foolish and being religious!!
Well said! FAITH without works is dead~ There are three cases in Scripture where God commands that He be tested (Isa 7:10-14, Malachi 3:10, 1 John 4:1). “Bring to the storehouse a full tenth of what you earn so there will be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD All-Powerful. “I will open the windows of heaven for you and pour out all the blessings you need”. 14 “Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel. [1] Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are of God; for many false prophets have gone out into the world.
Thank you so much for the word, I am blessed, encouraged and motivated in my spirit.
I will so study God’s word concerning financial success, then follow the rules and regulations
