Do You Know How to Overcome Poverty?

Do You Know How to Overcome Poverty? 

“Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction. Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man.” Proverbs 24:32-34 (KJV)

Knowing how to overcome poverty is the beginning of catapulting yourself into prosperity. The children of God have been given a key to overcoming poverty. King Solomon went on a walk and drew inspiration from the field of a slothful man. He was kind enough to share with us his observation; poverty comes to lure its victim. It gives you all the excuses to convince you to do nothing but to sleep, slumber, and fold your hands to sleep. In other words, it makes you love sleep and slumber more than work. Therefore, if you begin to lose interest in working, then note that poverty is beginning to knock at your door to lure you. Beloved, enjoy the work that God has given to you as a child of God even as you aspire higher. Remember that work is God’s idea, and He has been working since the creation of heaven and earth. No wonder Jesus Christ said, “My Father has been working until now, and I have been working” (John 5:17). Beloved, to overcome poverty, you must try to shun laziness and be diligent in business. You can devise the principle of Apostle Paul that if a man does not work, he must not eat; this will force you to work (2 Thessalonians 3:10). And after securing a job or business, be faithful with your tithes and offerings, and God will promote you into prosperity (Malachi 3:10). Hallelujah! Be diligent!

Prayer Point: My gracious Father, thank You for teaching me how to overcome poverty. I put Your Word to work and create a job for myself. Please lead and guide me to be diligent at my work, be faithful in tithes and offering, and help the vulnerable till I become very prosperous and a channel of blessings to many in Jesus’ name. Amen!
