God's will for your life - prosper in all things and be in health,

1 Now the Lord had said to Abram: “Get out of your country, From your family And from your father’s house, To a land that I will show you. 2 I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing. 3 I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
6 I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come from you.
2 Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.
35 The Lord has blessed my master greatly, and he has become great; and He has given him flocks and herds, silver and gold, male and female servants, and camels and donkeys.
Issac
24 And the Lord appeared to him the same night and said, “I am the God of your father Abraham; do not fear, for I am with you. I will bless you and multiply your descendants for My servant Abraham’s sake.”
And the Lord appeared to him the same night and said, I am the God of Abraham your father. Fear not, for I am with you and will favor you with blessings and multiply your descendants for the sake of My servant Abraham.
Genesis 26 AMPC
13 And the man became great and gained more and more until he became very wealthy and distinguished;
14 He owned flocks, herds, and a great supply of servants, and the Philistines envied him.
Jacob - Genesis 30:43 AMPC
thus the man increased and became exceedingly rich, and had many sheep and goats, and maidservants, menservants, camels, and donkeys.
Joseph Genesis 39:2-3 AMPC
2 But the Lord was with Joseph, and he [though a slave] was a successful and prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
3 And his master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord made all that he did to flourish and succeed in his hand.
Slavery could not alter the blessings of God
The entire nation of Israel was set free from slavery due to the covenant
Exodus 2:24 AMPC
24 And God heard their sighing and groaning and [earnestly] remembered His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
Spiritual redemption promised through Abraham’s covenant
Acts 13:32-33 AMPC
32 So now we are bringing you the good news (Gospel) that what God promised to our forefathers,
33 This He has [a]completely fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus, as it is written in the second psalm, You are My Son; today I have begotten You [[b]caused You to arise, to be born; [c]formally shown You to be the Messiah by the resurrection].
Salvation is of the Jews
22 You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews.
32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”), 14 that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
29 And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Hebrews 6:13-13
13 For when God made [His] promise to Abraham, He swore by Himself, since He had no one greater by whom to swear,
14 Saying, Blessing I certainly will bless you and multiplying I will multiply you.
They all were exceedingly rich, fruitful, and died at good old age
10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.
