One thing that we must understand is that faith is much more than a biblical concept. FAITH is a lifestyle. It is not a worldly lifestyle, it is a kingdom lifestyle. In the Kingdom wherein we belong, faith is a way of life. In the…

They are: Physical growth (Wealth, Prosperity, and Health). This is found in 3rd John 2. God…
