Exodus 12:35-36 Contemporary English Version The Israelites had already done what Moses had told them to do. They had gone to their Egyptian neighbors and asked for gold and silver and for clothes. The Lord had made the Egyptians friendly toward the people of Israel, and they gave them whatever they asked for. In this way they carried away the wealth of the Egyptians when they left Egypt.

As we conclude the Series on Agape today. I will like to challenge us Eccl 7:13 – 14. (The Living Bible) See the way God does things and fall into line. Don’t fight the facts of nature.

John 12:24AMP I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, Unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains [just one grain; it never becomes more but lives] by itself alone.

Psalm 118:19 – 25 The word Prosperity (Prosper, Prosperous) has been bastardized in the body of Christ. Famous Pastors have not helped neither. It has been defined wrongly from the World-view rather than the Biblical view. The word Prosperity is noun word derived from the verb word “Prosper”, derived from adjective word “Prosperous”, meaning these words are actually saying the same thing. So let’s take a word study to help us get a proper understanding of this word “Prosperity”, as we discuss on the DEFINITION OF PROSPERITY.
