WHY ARE PEOPLE POOR IN LIFE?

♦DO YOU WANT TO KNOW THE REAL REASON WHY PEOPLE ARE POOR IN LIFE FROM "GOD'S PERSPECTIVE?"
          -We will Be Looking into it from the Wisdom of "GOD'S WORD" and We will Find out that Being Poor is not just a matter of Lacking Money or not Having Enough Material and Financial Resources to Take Care of your Needs in Life.

             -Even Though God Created Every Human Being,He Did not on Intent or By Default Creat Anybody to Be "POOR IN THIS LIFE"

                          ♥Proverbs 22:2 KJV
The rich and poor meet together: the Lord is the maker of them all.

        -BEING POOR IS A SPIRITUAL THING WITH OUTWARD DYSFUNCTIONAL CONSEQUENCES.

       -IN GOD'S SIGHT,THE MATERIALLY RICH AND THE POOR WITHOUT MONEY ARE BOTH POOR WITHOUT JESUS CHRIST IN THEIR LIVES.

                              ♥Rev.3:17-18GNB
17 You say, ‘I am rich and well off; I have all I need.’ But you do not know how miserable and pitiful you are! You are poor, naked, and blind. 
18 I advise you, then, to buy gold from me, pure gold, in order to be rich. Buy also white clothing to dress yourself and cover up your shameful nakedness. Buy also some ointment to put on your eyes, so that you may see. 

     -MONEY AND WEALTH Without JESUS CHRIST is Living Life of Nakedness Without Meaning and Purpose.

      -GOD Sees POVERTY Beyond What you Have or Do not Have From the Material Perspective of Seeing things.
    -Before We Continue, Lets Still Look at How the Message Translation interpreted the Above Scripture.

                                 ♥Rev.3:17-18msg
17 You brag, 'I'm rich, I've got it made, I need nothing from anyone,' oblivious that in fact you're a pitiful, blind beggar, threadbare and homeless.
18 "Here's what I want you to do: Buy your gold from me, gold that's been through the refiner's fire. Then you'll be rich. Buy your clothes from me, clothes designed in Heaven. You've gone around half-naked long enough. And buy medicine for your eyes from me so you can see, really see.

  -YOU Can Never Have it "MADE IN LIFE" Outside JESUS CHRIST.

    -POVERTY IS DEEPER THAN WHAT WE THINK.POVERTY CAME AS A RESULT OF DISOBEDIENCE TO DIVINE INSTRUCTION.

            ⚫THE ROOT CAUSE AND ORIGIN OF POVERTY AND BEING POOR IS THE SINFUL DISOBEDIENCE OF ADAM AND EVE TO THE INSTRUCTION OF GOD THAT RESULTED IN "THE CURSE" COMING UPON ALL HUMANITY WITH IT'S THREE-FOLD CONSEQUENCES AND EFFECTS:

               1.SICKNESS AND DISEASE WITH SUDDEN DESTRUCTIONS AND PREMATURE PHYSICAL DEATH.
               2.POVERTY,LACK AND WANT WITH INSUFFICIENCY IN ALL GOOD THINGS OF LIFE.
               3.SPIRITUAL DEATH WITH DISCONNECTION AND DISTURBANCE  IN OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD OUR CREATOR.

                         ♥Rom.5:12-13message
12 You know the story of how Adam landed us in the dilemma we're in—first sin, then death, and no one exempt from either sin or death.
13 That sin disturbed relations with God in everything and everyone, but the extent of the disturbance was not clear until God spelled it out in detail to Moses. So death, this huge abyss separating us from God, dominated the landscape from Adam to Moses.

         -IN Essence,Sin Caused the Spiritual Death that Separated Us From our Fellowship with God.The Lost of Connection and Fellowship with God is What Resulted in the Above Curses.

          -THE WORD "POOR" from the Webster's Dictionary means:
                        ⚫Having Little Money or Few Possessions.
                        ⚫Not Having Enough Money for Basic things that People Need to Live Properly.
                        ⚫Having a Very Small Amount of Something
                        ⚫Not Good in Quality or Condition

        -As much as this Definition is Good,it's Still Limited When We View Being Poor from God's Wholistic Perspective.
        -The State of Poverty or Being Poor in all of it's Ramifications is not the Will of God for Anyone Created By Him.He Wants Us All to Live a Blessed Comfortable Life that is Constantly Reflecting His Glory.
       T
         -GOD Created Us All to Increase and Excel in Everything Good in this Life.He Created Us to Live a "GOOD LIFE" which He Prearranged and Made Ready for Us "IN CHRIST" as His Ultimate Plan and Purpose for All.

                            ♥Ephesians 2:10amp.
[10]For we are God's [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].

          -From the Above Scripture,as Long as you are Still Bound in Sin and Spiritual Death,and you are yet to be "RECREATED AND BORN AGAIN IN CHRIST" you are Still "POOR AND UNDER THE CURSE"

         -Many People are Wealthy and Rich Naturally Speaking,but are Still Spiritually Bound and Under the Control of the "SPIRIT OF GREED, COVETOUSNESS,AND MAMMON"
       -HEAR THE WORDS OF JESUS:

                              ♥Luke 12:15amp.
[15]And He said to them, Guard yourselves and keep free from all covetousness (the immoderate desire for wealth, the greedy longing to have more); for a man's life does not consist in and is not derived from possessing overflowing abundance or that which is over and above his needs.

         -In Essence,no Matter the Financial and Material Possessions you may Have on this Earth, without "JESUS CHRIST IN YOUR LIFE" you are Still in LACK and "VERY POOR IN GOD'S EYES AND ALSO POOR IN OTHER AREAS YOUR MONEY CANNOT HELP YOU"

        -Many today in the World are Rich with Lots of Money, but are Stuck with Incurable Sicknesses and Broken Relationships and Diverse Kinds of Addictions and Fears of the Unknown.
       -YOU SEE,All Kinds of Sorrowful Experiences,Deprivation, Oppression,Desperation, and DISTRESSES OF LIFE all Represents Different "STATES AND CONDITIONS OF POVERTY"

                ⚫BEING POOR OR THE STATE OF POVERTY IS MUCH MORE BEYOND A MONEY THING.IT IS LACK OF TOTAL WHOLISTIC WELLNESS IN LIFE.

     -ONLY "JESUS" Can Guarantee "WHOLENESS IN LIFE AND NOT MONEY OR MATERIAL THINGS OF LIFE"

                                ♥1stThess.5:23msg
"May God himself, the God who makes everything holy and whole, make you holy and whole, put you together—spirit, soul, and body—and keep you fit for the coming of our Master, Jesus Christ."

     -When JESUS Started His Public Ministry After His 40days of Fasting and Prayers,He Promptly Announced to All that He Was Anointed with the Grace and Power to "UPROOT POVERTY FROM THE SPIRIT OF MAN" so that it's Effects of Financial Lack, Sicknesses, Oppressions, Captivities, Blindness, and  EVERY DISTRESSES OF LIFE BE ERADICATED.

                                ♥Luke 4:18amp.
[18]The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon Me, because He has anointed Me [the Anointed One, the Messiah] to preach the good news (the Gospel) to the poor; He has sent Me to announce release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to send forth as delivered those who are oppressed [who are downtrodden, bruised, crushed, and broken down by calamity],

       -This Scripture is a Classical Biblical Definition of what "POOR IS OR WHAT THE STATE OF POVERTY IS"

        -IT is the Will of God that you BE PROSPEROUS in Every Aspect of Life Beyond the Material and Financial Realm of Life,and that is Only Possible as your SOUL PROSPERS "IN CHRIST"

                                 ♥3 John 1:2amp.
[2]Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in every way and [that your body] may keep well, even as [I know] your soul keeps well and prospers.

   -POVERTY is an Internal Force that Works from the Inside of Man to Eventually Contaminate His Environment and Everything He Does.it is the Cause of Undevelopment in the Nations despite the Availability of Natural Resources.

               ⚫POVERTY AND STAYING POOR IS NOT THE WILL OF GOD FOR ANY HUMAN BEING OR ANY NATION.
                    -JESUS CHRIST CAME TO TAKE UPON HIMSELF THE DESTRUCTION OF THE POOR WHICH CAME UPON THEM IN THEIR STATE OF POVERTY THAT HELD THEM BOUND.

                            ♥2 Corinthians 8:9 KJV
For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.

      -GOD'S DEFINITION OF "BEING RICH" is All Encompassing and not Limited to just Having Material and Financial Resources.Being Rich Comes By the Operation of the "BLESSING OF THE LORD" Upon Every Areas of your Life, Family and Nation.

                             ♥Proverbs 10:22amp.
