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.

VALUE FOR TIME

To everything, there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven (Ecclesiastes 3:1) Our entire life is measured by time. Your success and achievement are directly proportional to the time invested therein. To the one that is a medical doctor, for instance, it means that he has invested 5 or 6 years of his time in learning and acquiring knowledge to practice as a medical doctor. It, therefore, means that he traded time for the skill. We have a period here on earth to fulfill our purpose. It would be suicidal to attempt to waste it for we have but one life.  Helpful Topic: Motivational Quotes For Women.

Move On

" ...: _but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward calling of God in Christ Jesus_ ". Philippians 3:13-14 The past is always going to be the way it was, so stop trying to change it. Your future contains more happiness than any past you remember. Believe strongly that the best is yet to come. Today we remember Paul more as an Apostle of Christ than a persecutor of Christians. He never had the opportunity to be with Jesus physically but he had more revelation of Him than the other Apostle that was with Jesus. He was never ashamed and went about preaching the Gospel of Christ. Each time he remembers his past, he will try to forget and move on. "... this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind..." (Philippians 3:13-14). God through Apostle Paul performs great miracles. God is very good at changing ugly situations to pleasant situations if you believe He can do
