SATURDAY REFLECTION ON POVERTY. How to unlock your life from the yoke of poverty. (Part II) As we pointed out in our earlier post, many people are going about life carrying the keys of poverty. These people pray daily for prosperity, but it is not possible for God to increase you financially if you have never dropped the keys of poverty in your hands. The following are eleven (11) keys of poverty that you need to drop for you to be blessed financially; 1. Not giving to the poor: Proverbs 28: 27 says, “He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.” Giving to the poor helps you to have abundance. 2. The curse of poverty: Galatians 3: 13-14 says, “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us; for it is written, cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree…” The curse of the law includes poverty, disease and death. 3. Ignorance: Hosea 4: 6 says, Some believers are ignorant of God’s provisions for their lives. Some people who claim to be living by faith tell lies because they are living by begging. Ignorance concerning the keys of prosperity or keys to success would lead to poverty. Ignorance is the major cause of human failure in many endeavours. 4. Pride: Some people feel that they are too big to do some jobs whereas they have no job. They would say, “This is not the kind of job for university graduates. I cannot do it.” They then begin to walk about the streets jobless. They always forget that God takes a little thing and then multiplies it. This is why rich illiterate men employ many university graduates today; yet they do not want to do the kind of jobs that those illiterate men did before they became rich. They feel that they are too big to begin business in a little dirty way. God will deliver all those who have the spirit of pride in them, in Jesus’ name. 5. Ostentatious living: Some people like showing off. As soon as they collect their salary, the people they bought things from would be waiting to collect their money. They want to look better than everybody does and so they keep paying debts. 6. Rigidity: When a person refuses to leave a closed business, he will suffer. 7. Discouragement: A lot of people give up so soon. Once they fail at first attempt, they give up. Some believe that they will fail even before they start; they have programmed their minds to failure. When the failure eventually comes, they will say, “I knew that it would not work.” The spirit of discouragement, the spirit of the loser and the spirit of the tail are all the same thing. 8. Lack of good counselling: A lot of people go into things without counselling and they do not ask for God’s direction. This leads to failure. 9. Engaging in secret sins: Sin hinders blessings. They stop God from working. As a believer, if you have some sins that you are committing secretly, you have the key of poverty in your hands. 10. Demonic activities: The major factors responsible for the poverty of most people in this environment are demonic activities. Remember, light and darkness cannot co-exist. 11. Fanaticism: Some people are too spiritual to work. They spend most of their times if not all their times in churches, Oratories, chapels and retreat centers praying for finances. What these people forget is that to change your situation one needs to work and pray since God does not drop cheques from heaven. It is regrettable to note that among the poorest people in the world, majority of them are religious fanatics. DEAR CONGREGATION, AGAIN I ASK, ARE YOU PREPARED TO DROP THE KEYS OF POVERTY?????
