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.

Think Big

. 'For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he...' Proverb 23:4 Limited thinking prevents one from progressing. A man went fishing and each time he caught a big fish, he threw it back into the water and kept the smaller ones. When confronted, he said his frying pan was a small one and couldn't contain the bigger fish. He couldn't think of something else to do with the bigger fish. That is limited thinking. When a small idea gets into a big mind, it can produce enormous results, but if a great idea gets into a small mind, the idea will be reduced to the size of the mind.

God gave us the world unfinished so that we might share in the joy and satisfaction of creation. Creativity has been built into every one of us; it's part of our design. Each of us lives less of the life God intended for us when we...

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. Try as much as you can to always engage yourself with profitable discussion, and not involve yourself with gossip. David knew the importance of understanding the value of time which made him pray to God on behalf of the people he was ruling. He prayed in this manner, Father, 'Teach us to number our days so we may apply our heart unto wisdom" (Psalm 90:12). This prayer m...
