Psalm 1:

[3]And he shall be like a tree firmly planted [and tended] by the streams of water, ready to bring forth its fruit in its season; its leaf also shall not fade or wither; and everything he does shall prosper [and come to maturity]. [Jer. 17:7, 8.]

KJV

Psalms  1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.  1:2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.  1:3 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.

God’s prosperity for saint’s without limits.

Did you see all these reverences that I read from different versions of the Bible, I read only verse three.

That is what most people quoting the verse, use to do.

But then, you can not have the blessings of verse three without meeting the conditions in verses 1& 2

Let me now read the full passages.

Good News.

Psalms 1:1-3
[1]Happy are those  who reject the advice of evil people,     who do not follow the example of sinners     or join those who have no use for God.
[2]Instead, they find joy in obeying the Law of the Lord,     and they study it day and night.
[3]They are like trees that grow beside a stream,     that bear fruit at the right time,     and whose leaves do not dry up. They succeed in everything they do.

NLT

Psalms 1:1-3
[1]Oh, the joys of those who do not 
    follow the advice of the wicked, 
    or stand around with sinners, 
    or join in with mockers.
[2]But they delight in the law of the lord, 
    meditating on it day and night.
[3]They are like trees planted along the riverbank, 
    bearing fruit each season. 
Their leaves never wither, 
    and they prosper in all they do.

AMP

Psalm 1:1-3
[1]BLESSED (HAPPY, fortunate, prosperous, and enviable) is the man who walks and lives not in the counsel of the ungodly [following their advice, their plans and purposes], nor stands [submissive and inactive] in the path where sinners walk, nor sits down [to relax and rest] where the scornful [and the mockers] gather.
[2]But his delight and desire are in the law of the Lord, and on His law (the precepts, the instructions, the teachings of God) he habitually meditates (ponders and studies) by day and by night. [Rom. 13:8-10; Gal. 3:1-29; II Tim. 3:16.]
[3]And he shall be like a tree firmly planted [and tended] by the streams of water, ready to bring forth its fruit in its season; its leaf also shall not fade or wither; and everything he does shall prosper [and come to maturity]. [Jer. 17:7, 8.]

KJV

Psalms  1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.  1:2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.  1:3 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.

From the above scriptures you discover, God’s blessings here and hereafter are not for the unrighteous.

Isaiah  1:19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

Isaiah  3:10 Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.

Job  36:11 If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.

Proverbs  14:33 Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but that which is in the midst of fools is made known.

Deuteronomy  28:11 And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee.  28:12 The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.  28:13 And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:  28:14 And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

Job  22:21 Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.  22:22 Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart.  22:23 If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.  22:24 Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.  22:25 Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver.

Matthew  6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Beloved Brethren righteousness profits you here and hereafter.

Proverbs  8:17 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.  8:18 Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.  8:19 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.  8:20 I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:  8:21 That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.

It is true that you must be hard working.

Proverbs  22:29 Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.

It is true that you must be paying your tithes for heavens to open for you.

But remember all will be to know avail when their is no righteousness.

Isaiah  1:19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

Isaiah  3:10 Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.

Proverbs  14:34 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.

Matthew  6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

This biblical righteousness will make you to hate iniquity like Christ.

Hebrews  1:8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.  1:9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

It is this righteousness that will give you your place in heaven.

Matthew  13:43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Matthew  25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

This righteousness is the second work of grace attainable after biblical salvation.

1 John  1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Psalms  24:4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

Ezekiel  36:25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.  36:26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

Let us pray to God to save and sanctify us and then you will access a lifetime prosperity without limits in Jesus name.

Psalms  1:3 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.

Let us pray.

Bishop Peter Babalola
