Prosper (ed)(ity)(ous)(s)
To succeed or thrive; to flourish; to cause others to succeed; economic well being
The question that I have is this;
Why do people question Gods goodness? Why would God want us not to prosper? Properity is mentioned and promised many time in the bible
Deu 29:9 Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do.
Psa 1:3 - And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

be careful as to what man teaches as man is fallable, Christ is not!
