    Blessed Are The Pure In Heart

    Contributed by Bishop Prof. Julius Soyinka on Mar 10, 2016
    based on 3 ratings
     | 10,216 views

It is our invisible innermost being which shapes our lives, attitudes, convictions, ...read more

    Understanding the benefits of giving to God and the kingdom

    Nowhere does it show throughout biblical history that those who willingly and joyously served the Lord with their resources did not receive blessings from God.
