Jeremiah Tipton defines biblical prosperity as having your essential needs covered—housing, food, utilities, insurance—plus enough left over to save, invest, and help others. True prosperity means capacity to assist neighbors in need, not just personal wealth.
The best definition of biblical prosperity, having your needs met and enough left over to share with others. How would you like to get there? Where your bills are paid, you're not having to choose between the utility bill or the cell phone bill. You're not having to choose between a certain item you need, maybe in the category of medication or the category of food, but you have everything that you need. You have enough for a place to live. You have enough for groceries. You have enough for utilities, for car insurance, all of it. And then at the end of the month, not only do you have enough for all of your bills, but you can save some because investing is a biblical concept. But you also have enough now to say to your neighbor, I see that you were having trouble paying your groceries this month or this week. Let me help you with that. Or you can say to a friend, hey, I heard that your car broke down and that you're struggling to get it running again. I'm going to cover those repairs for you. That right there is biblical prosperity.
