Memory Verse:” All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him”- Prov. 19:7.

 

Bible Passage: Prov. 6:9-11

INTRODUCTION 

Generally, poverty can be described as a state of being extremely poor. Poverty can take different forms, mental, spiritual, material or financial. In the context of material/financial possessions, poverty is said to exist when people lack the means to satisfy their basic needs. Scriptures clearly state that even the brethren of the poor hate him (Prov. 19:7) and that poverty can destroy the poor (Prov. 10:15). What then causes poverty and can a believer break free from it?

  1. CAUSES OF POVERTY
    2. BREAKING FREE FROM POVERTY

CAUSES OF POVERTY

While poverty can be in categories or degrees , several factors can be responsible for it. 

  1. Personal attitudes which includes laziness/idleness (Prov. 18:4; 19:15); poor work ethics (Proverbs 14:23; 1 Thess. 3:10); lack of self-discipline (Prov. 12:27); stubbornness (Proverbs 13:18); drunkenness and gluttony (Prov. 23:21); worldliness and frivolous pursuits  (Prov. 21:17; 38:19); limitation mentality (Prov. 32:7a) etc.
  2. Natural disasters (famine, flood etc)- Gen. 12:10, health challenges (Mark 5:25-26), fire outbreaks (Job 1:16), daeth of a benefactor (2 Sam. 4:4).
  3. Oppression of others . Examples of oppression that can cause poverty include delayed wages (Lev. 19:13; 1 Timothy 5:18), exorbitant interest rate on loans (Ex. 22:25).
  4. Spiritual causes of poverty include the repercussion of sin (Deuteronomy 28:15-21) and wrong spiritual concepts as some believers equates poverty to holiness. 

 

BREAKING FREE FROM POVERTY 

You need to discover your purpose for living and diligently pursue it (Prov. 22:29). Gather sufficient information on how to improve yourself in your chosen career, vocation, or trade. (Prov. 18:15; 24:4). Be intentional about creating multiple streams of income (Eccl. 11:2). Find a problem around you that you can solve that will earn you good money. Acquire additional skills ; re-skill and up-skill (Prov. 9:9). Believe in yourself and have the “I can” attitude (Phil. 4:13). 

 

Essentially, breaking free from poverty requires giving (Prov. 11:24); pay your tithes and offerings (Mal. 3:10-12), first fruit (Prov. 3:9-10), and give to those that are less privileged. Pray and study the word of God to know His perfect will for you in all your life’s endeavours (Ps. 37:23). Stop living in debts , borrow only to invest (Prov. 22:7).

 

CONCLUSION

Poverty is not pre-destined, therefore, change your mindset towards material wealth knowing that God gives the ‘power’ to get wealth (Deut. 8:18).
