We are not peasants in subjection to the world or satan1. We are, through Jesus Christ, full sons and daughters2, joint-heirs with Jesus3. He decreed that we are kings and priests of the kingdom of God4. Nothing in our realm is to suffer lack5, instead we are to stand as kings and care for our realm just as God would6. Where there is lack we demand provision7. The storm that caused the disciples to fear while Jesus slept, was simply their realm lacking in peace8. Jesus commanded provisions of Peace and stillness to come and it did9. Not because He is God in the flesh, but because He was displaying His royal authority and wisdom as a king and a priest of His Father’s kingdom10.
Prosperity is not excessive riches per se as much as it is the absence of lack and the intolerance towards lack. Our realm is our dominion, are we caring for it as kings and priests or in subjugation to it as peasants?
- Genesis 1:28 AMPC
And God blessed them and said to them, Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it [using all its vast resources in the service of God and man]; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and over every living creature that moves upon the earth. ↩ - Romans 8:14-15 AMPC
For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

Father! ↩ - Romans 8:16-17 AMPC
The Spirit Himself [thus] testifies together with our own spirit, [assuring us] that we are children of God. [17] And if we are [His] children, then we are [His] heirs also: heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ [sharing His inheritance with Him]; only we must share His suffering if we are to share His glory. ↩ - Revelation 5:10 MEV
