There is no normal person who would not want to be successful or prosperous in every sphere of life. Apart from being strong in body and mind, each person wants to be successful in his domestic relations, in his trade, profession or any other activity.
It is reassuring that God Almighty has these ends in view for His people, if only they would be diligent in obeying His voice, God speaking through Jeremiah the prophet stated: “But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you”. – Jeremiah 7:23.
The word “Secret” means “known to very few people and consequently quiet and secluded”. “Prosperity” is the condition of enjoying wealth, success or good fortune. Prosperity in this context means growth in spiritual qualities that enables one to be in good standing with God and men. The adjective true which qualifies prosperity shows that while some types of prosperity are genuine, others are fake or artificial. We should strive for the prosperity that is lasting and not the one that is transient or temporary.
