Takeaways

In times of sorrow and affliction, turning to the Lord is how we receive strength. Prosperity, as promised in the scriptures, is not solely reserved for financial wealth but can manifest in various aspects of life, such as health, family relationships, and spiritual growth. Making covenants with the Lord brings freedom and light, allowing us to be brought out of darkness and captivity. Being great in the eyes of the Lord is more important than being great in the eyes of the world.
