The name "Increase" is a literal translation of the Hebrew "Yosëf" or Joseph.

Just another couple days and the Year of our Lord 2019 will take its last breath. It is a time to look back, as well as a time to look forward.

I recommend a discipline that will enhance your life and make you the person that the Word of God says you already are.
