POVERTY, the ARM of LIMITATION



 

 THE SPIRIT OF POVERTY 
Please pray this short prayer with me
O God of creation have mercy on me. 

Forgive me all my sins by your grace and power 
Set me aside for your goodness by the cleansing by the blood of Jesus
According to your loving kindness take away poverty from my fathers house
By the abundance of your riches grant me riches that would prosper me and my family
Search out the lands and open my eyes to see and locate my treasures and possess them; in the name of Jesus. Amen!
By the blood of Jesus erase my name from among the poor in the Mighty name of Jesus. 
AMEN! AMEN!! and AMEN!!!
Poverty is a big problem as we observe world over. There are many countries recognized as poor. Within these countries we see rich people and poor people. The rich people can afford food and luxury without emptying their treasuries but the poor people cannot afford their daily needs of food what more enjoying luxury. It is not because they are lazy or they choose to be poor, yet they remain and live in this mess.
Poverty is a plague which messes up the mind, heart and clamps down the life of anyone plagued by it in its entirety. Poverty is the mother of inequality and the battle to fight against it has caused the affluent nations to forfeit life and money, yet the fight goes on and the gap of inequality widens exponentially.
I do not want to be recognized as poor, statistically. I am content because God is at work in the providence that has kept me going. I hate poverty because it is the arm of limitation. Like the spider’s web, it immobilizes anyone caught in it! 
   Who wants to be poor? Only someone who has never experienced poverty wants to taste it but majority who were born in poverty and/or victims of man made poverty, would never dare to live in poverty. This is the reason one wakes up early, whether one likes it or not; to get out of the house looking for jobs and doing menial jobs. It is so odd that one detests the work environments yet encouraged to continue to work in it by the monetary reward. The question is, who wants to be poor? I don't and I know that you don't want to be poor either.
 In the book of Proverbs chapter 30, Agur, prayed against poverty and useless riches. He knew what poverty could cause so he prayed against poverty. It is the wisest thing to do, one should pray against poverty and if you are already living in poverty, pray that God takes it away from you and bless you with abundance. It is not a sin to refuse poverty.
We should do whatever we could to walk away from abject poverty, however there is poverty that befalls one that is unavoidable.  Examples include poverty due to wicked political systems, wars, natural disasters and inhuman laws ad constitutions of nations that marginalize some ethnic groups, races and more. Both the poor and the rich should hush such systems and safe lives; while individuals on their own should pray to God for supernatural intervention.

THE STORY OF MANMA, THE CHILD PROVIDER

  Manma was just eight years old when she realized that she was born differently. She was born into a struggling family. She was the oldest of five siblings. Her father was always high and her mother was always looking for food and she had to stay home to take care of her hungry siblings. This morning she was seated outside in the cold looking down the earth. She sat propping up her knees and resting her chin on her shaking knees. She was sobbing with a stick on her hand and she wrote something on the sand. "Who am I?". Yes who is she? But, I see her in every street of Abak. She is always crying, sometimes I see her begging for bread, sometimes people send her on errands. I saw her the other day wearing tarred clothes and when I tried to say hello she ran. Who is this girl? What kept her in this misery? Who is Manma? Friends, tell me if you have ever seen her in your street. Please tell me more about her. What can we do to help her? Do not bother about her color because she c

THE MASKING CULTURE AND IMPEDING MINDS

They say it will save our lives, but it is indirectly killing our brain and creating spiritual separation. In a situation where you are in one room with someone you may not know very well and will not be able to recognize outside the workplace, then something is wrong. We should be scared! It is trending, but who knows where it would lead us. I have kept quiet about it while observing what is going on. “This mask thing is something else.” a friend said to me. Yes, there is something about it that needs to be said not that there is anything to be done about it. Because from the look of things there is nothing to do about it unless by faith people choose to do away with it. But people of faith are in a real war with the health industry, politicians, and the world at large. Since I do not want to go into politics because I am not one and I do not understand it, I will desist from addressing this matter politically. I am not in the health industry, and I cannot address any health issues si

Do not Destroy Your Future in one Ugly Experience.

 The beauty of a tree is ever visible in the compound of a conscientious rich person. Although not all rich persons value the life of a tree because some would uproot the tree in quest for power expansion However, a wise and a caring rich person would give space for beauty hence he employs the crafting hands of the landscaper, the florist and the flower tender to beautify his compound that enshrines his palace within the trees thereby respecting, giving life and bringing out the beauty of it. The shrub on its own is a hell of nuisance, growing and spreading branches everywhere even blocking the palace from view and making passage uncomfortable for the king and his entourage. Nevertheless the king loves the shrub as added beauty, that is why he spares a little, for the shrub best by getting a flower tender. The tender with his pruning share, cuts of wild spreading branches, and shapes the shrub how he would for beauty. He sits back to observe it and once he is satisfied with his wor
