God desires to bless us with wealth, but He wants us to seek Him first, as Jesus said,“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well” (Matthew 6:33, NIV). God wants us to put Him first in everything we do. He wants us to depend on Him and rely on His Word, gaya nang sinasabi sa Josue 1:8.All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

But the monetary values did not correspond to the actual value of a man and a woman in God's sight for He loved all of them.All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show
