There
is a class of people that are most despised, neglected and considered as second
class citizen in life. They are referred to as the poor in the land. Jesus in
His maiden speech about His mission itemized the cadre of people that would
benefit from the overflow of power and anointing in His ministry amazingly the
poor becomes one of His subjects of priority. Hence, the ministry of prosperity
becomes a vital arm in His ministry.
The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has
anointed me to preach good news to the poor... Lk 4:18 (NIV)
Do
not be misled thinking that the gospel of prosperity is to enrich the preacher
rather it is a mystery instituted by God for the church to tap from the
heavenly resources. If Jesus Christ first assignment also centered on the poor,
why are there still poor people in the body of Christ? From the opening
scripture; Jesus, a very rich God for your sake became poor so that you can
experience heavenly attributes on earth among which is the prosperity of your
soul (III John.2). You can make heaven
on two platform either a pauper or a rich person but how? The story of Abraham
and Lazarus shed more lights on the demarcating line that describes their lot
in heaven. The death of Jesus shuts the gate of poverty and opens the gate of
prosperity. The ticket of your wealth and riches has been purchased by the
blood of Jesus. This truth is well stressed in John 10:10 where Jesus painted the real picture of your redemptive
heritage. Poverty is a curse that you must break away from. This is one of the
prime reasons why Christ died on the cross. You can break the chain of curse
and poverty in your life if you are ready to take responsibility.

redeemed us from that self-defeating, cursed life by absorbing it completely
into himself…" Gal 3:13 (THE MESSAGE)
The

poverty if you allow it to sediment in your cognitive reasoning. These facts
have been generally proven no matter your color, person and belief.
*
Poverty is a curse; it has the capacity to waste your destiny. Just as Christ
died to reverse the curse, you can be free. Any area of your life where you are
experiencing ravaging famine now, its causative agent could be the ripples of
poverty. Deut. 28:48.

cold grip of poverty. It therefore becomes absurd to suffer this same shame
again. II Cor. 8:9.
*Poverty

matter your personality. It is a canker that can submerge your initiative,
creativity and resourcefulness. Now that you are born again but there is no
cash again. You need to uncover the cause if it is not connected with the
subject matter, Pro 10:15.
*Poverty

status. It can turn you to an object of ridicule and servant hood. Therefore,

22:7.

gratification of your need which might be against God’s standard.

in your life, Prov. 19:4.
