POVERTY

Isa 25:4 The poor and the helpless have fled to you and have been safe in times of trouble. You give them shelter from storms and shade from the burning heat.

Many people are unaware of God’s incredible generosity.  They are blinded by their own desires, and alienated from the One who is able to reduce their sorrows and convert their poverty into wealth, if only they were obedient to Him.

The Word reveals the fact that God is a lot more willing to give than what He is to receive.  We just need to pray sincerely and with faith, and then we will receive what we have prayed for.
It is true that many of His disciples want to believe without any reservations, and yet, there’s only a few who uses the key, given to them by God, to utilise the abundance.

If you present a prayer to our Father, don’t think that He will not award you, your request.  God will hear your prayer and will provide for your needs from His treasures – to the wealth of His Grace.

Proverbs 19:17 When you give to the poor, it is like lending to the LORD, and the LORD will pay you back.

James 2:8 You will be doing the right thing if you obey the law of the Kingdom, which is found in the scripture, "Love your neighbour as you love yourself."
9 But if you treat people according to their outward appearance, you are guilty of sin, and the Law condemns you as a lawbreaker.

Matt 25:37 -40
37.  The righteous will then answer him, 'When, Lord, did we ever see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you a drink?
38.  When did we ever see you a stranger and welcome you in our homes, or naked and clothe you?
39. When did we ever see you sick or in prison, and visit you?'
40.  The King will reply, 'I tell you, whenever you did this for one of the least important of these followers of mine, you did it for me!'

God Bless!!
