FIGHT POVERTY MILITANTLY


'And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and work with your own hands, as we have commanded you. (1Thessalonians 4:11).


Poverty is an enemy and that is why the Bible liked poverty to be like a bandit. (Proverb 6:11). When a bandit attacks someone they show no mercy, there go with everything valuable the person has. When poverty attacks it kills human dignity, cause homelessness, and makes the person handicapped in the demand to provide a solution. That is why it should not be tolerated and ought to be fought militantly.

Not having money at all is a very bad situation but having it no matter how little can never be compared to the former. That's why the sure way to fight poverty is to kill idleness. Idleness is the catalyst of poverty. 

"For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies. Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread' (2Thessalonians 3:10-12)

When we engage ourselves with something that's when God will make us and change our status positively. Peter was not an idle man before God called Him. He was a fisherman before God changed his status by making him a fisher of men. He told Peter, '... follow me and I will make you fishers of men'. (Matthew 4:19).

PRAYER: Father I thank you, for the Word you sent my way today and for redeeming me out of poverty. Thank You, Lord! In Jesus' Name. Amen.

To Overcome Defeat Is Possible

"I can do all things through Christ which strengthen me" (Philippians 4:13) This is a fact that you must never forget some people have overcome every conceivable difficult situation even the one in which you now find yourself and which to you seems utterly hopeless. So did it seem to some others, but they found an out, a way up, a path over, a pass through. I advise you not to take the attitude that you are in a situation in which nobody has ever been before. There is no such situation. Related Topic: Belief In Yourself   The first thing to do about an obstacle is simply to stand up to it and not complain about it. Don't go crawling through life on your hands and knees half-defeated. Stand up to your obstacle and do something about them. You will find that they haven't half the strength you think they have. You can do this when you have faith, faith in God, and faith in yourself. Faith supplies staying power. It contains dynamics to keep one going when the going is h...

Break Away From Consumer Mentality

"And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities." (Luke 19:17).  If you keep consuming everything without producing anything, you will have nothing to fall back on. Immediate gratification creates poverty or lack in the future. Short-term thinking and living for today is the bane of many individuals but long-term thinking will help you to imbibe a producer mentality. An investment mentality is a way of thinking that supports thoughts and behaviors directed at achieving wealth. It compels you to automatically think about, recognize and take advantage of wealth-building opportunities. It also drives you to structure your lifestyles to preserve and continue to grow the wealth you have created.

You must let go of your consumer mentality through delayed gratification if you want to rise fina...
