Beloved I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers 3 John 2 (NKJV) It has been a dream of mine to prosper financially using biblical principles. I prayed about it, and then one morning, the Lord told me that it was time and that He would teach me. He instructed me to wait on Him every morning and to write down the things He taught me. I followed His instructions, guidance, and wisdom, writing it all down for a full year. This book is the result of our time together. To my surprise, this became a book of many books! The Lord would guide me to a specific book, teach me from it, and then move on to the next book. It was totally supernatural! As I followed the leading of the Lord, it became clear to me that God was taking me on a year-long journey of prospering my soul, which in turn would influence my financial situation. I learnt that I could not prosper in any given area unless my soul prospered in that area too, hence the book’s title. This book takes many twists and turns, and even has a few surprises. Did I reach my goal of financial prosperity? You have to read it to find out!

This volume examines how and why many early modern pictures operate in an ekphrastic mode.

The letters of John and Jude are a wake-up call. False teachers had infiltrated the church and introduced secular reasoning in place of apostolic teachings. John and Jude wrote to their congregations not only to warn the faithful against the impostors, but to emphasize true spirituality in the face of error and apostasy.Its no surprise, then, that these four letters are of the utmost relevance to Christians today. Johns first and second letters deal with issues central to a genuine Christian faith and life, while the third provides a snapshot of the dynamics of at least one congregation in the A.D. 90s. Jude confronts many of the same issues in his letter, including the immorality that results from a denial of Christ.This user-friendly devotional commentary divides the entire text of these four letters into bite-sized passages using a new translation by the author. Each passage is followed by the exegetical meaning as well as the practical application for the lives of twenty-first-century believers. Small study groups and individuals alike will benefit from this format and better understand Gods timely and very personal message.
