Breaking the Curse of Poverty  David K. Owusu


               Dedicated faith is one angle as scripture puts it in Hebrews 11:6
               (AMP)


                  But without faith it is impossible to [walk with God and] please
                  Him, for whoever comes [near] to God must [necessarily] believe
                  that God exists and that He rewards those who [earnestly and
                  diligently] seek Him.

                                             Remarkable faith has always yielded
                                             more, from the scriptures we find
                                          this  hallmark  and  unprecedented
                     The fact that the       faith  in  action  and  what  would
                   curse is lifted, does     then be credited to the people who
                   not then mean that        demonstrated it. The record of this
                    there is no need to
                          work.              heroic  faith  is  massive;  Abraham
                                             for instance is credited with highest
                          
                                             recognition  for  his  faith  that  is
                                             marked as “righteousness”:-



                  “And  he  [Abram]  believed  in  (trusted  in,  relied  on,  remained
                  steadfast to) the Lord, and He counted it to him as righteousness
                  (right standing with God)” Genesis 15:6 [AMPC]
                  “No unbelief or distrust made him waver (doubtingly question)
                  concerning  the  promise  of  God,  but  he  grew  strong  and  was
                  empowered  by  faith  as  he  gave  praise  and  glory  to  God,  fully
                  satisfied and assured that God was able and mighty to keep His
                  word and to do what He promised, that is why his faith was
                  credited  to  him  as  righteousness  (right  standing  with  God)”
