Scriptures: 3John1:2, 1 Thessalonians 5:23, Mathew 16:26.
According to Genesis 2:7 we are a soul, spirit and body, that is why we are Gods image.
Human beings are a spirit with a soul living in the body.

Prosperity

1John 1:2  Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.
– Prosperity is a desired success or goodness.

A prospered thing should be a desirable one that when people see, they would like to be associated with.
Many people have associated prosperity with money but it ought to be prosperity in everything.
Some people have a prosperous spirit that when you meet them, you just feel comfort and relieved.

The Soul.

The soul connects the spirit to the body. It is the essence of a human being.
– Is a collection of your mind, will, feelings, emotions and processes of thinking.
– is only the soul that connects the spiritual to the body.
– Is what differentiates a human being from an animal.
– Is the battlefield of good and evil.
– Stress is when demand is on you.
– No one is immune from stress
– When under stress, the mind tries to bring one out of it. In the process you might reach a decision that could be good or bad.

Causes of stress
1. Unmet goals/expectations in life
2. Brocken relationships.
