A BLESSING IN POVERTY


God has a passion for poor and afflicted people. Most people's breakthroughs are in the fact that they take care of Hungry and homeless people. In the book of Isaiah 58, God sets out a principle of fast and that in your fasting as you discipline your own flesh forget not to take care of others who are less fortunate than you...

Isaiah 58:10-12

"if you pour yourself out for the hungry
and satisfy the desire of the afflicted,
 then shall your light rise in the darkness
and your gloom be as the noonday.
 And the Lord will guide you continually
and satisfy your desire in scorched places
and make your bones strong;
and you shall be like a watered garden,
like a spring of water,
whose waters do not fail.
 And your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt;
you shall raise up the foundations of many generations;
you shall be called the repairer of the breach,
the restorer of streets to dwell in."




There is a blessing in taking care of the hungry and homeless people. See what God says he says "I will satisfy YOUR DESIRE in scorched places(Famines/Desolate places)". Just because you took care of the needy, the God of heaven will GUIDE YOU and make YOUR BONES STRONG. God is that serious about breaking you forth by you being a provider to the needy people. He also says in James:

James 1:27 - "Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world."

“There are people in the world so hungry, that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread.” ― Mahatma Gandhi

THAT'S HOW GOD WANTS YOU TO LIVE. THERE ARE MANY AREAS OF BREAKTHROUGH AND TAKING CARE OF THE NEEDY IS ALSO AN AVENUE THAT GOD WILL USE TO WORK AND ADVANCE YOUR LIFE, HE TRULY IS A GOOD GOD.

  2. The poverty issue makes me nervous to speak on. Its hard for me to see the blessing in abject poverty. Then again,it depends on what one conciders to be a blessing. I can never say I understand God and his ways completely, but I do know I trust him with all that I am. It took a special person to get me to where I am with my faith amd its still growing. My Blessing is him, my Blessing is that I found my way back to the Father that sustains.
