Breaking the Curse of Poverty  David K. Owusu


               The  Lord  delights  in  the  prosperity  of  His  servants.  He  has  no
               reason to allow us to walk in poverty and shame while He owns the
               universe and everything in it.


                  10 “For every beast of the forest is Mine, And the cattle on a
                  thousand  hills.  11 “I  know  every  bird  of  the  mountains,  And
                  everything that moves in the field is [a] Mine. Psalm 50:10-11
                  (AMP)


               The Word of God says, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it,
               the world, and all who live in it; Psalm 24:1


               A Lesson from the Ants; A Remedy for The Lazy Mindset


               It is ridiculous to expect that blessings will come over and overtake
               you if you have a lazy attitude you must put your hands to work so
               that the Lord can release your blessing.

               will come over and overtake you with a sluggard attitude. There has
               to be personal initiative, something you are doing with your hands
               for God to have something to bless. The most profound scripture in
               the Bible which addresses laziness is in the book of Proverbs which
               has this to say about the lazy.


                  6 Go  to  the  ant,  O  lazy  one;  Observe  her  ways  and  be  wise,
                  7 Which, having no chief, Overseer or ruler, 8 She prepares her
                  food  in  the  summer,  And  brings  in  her  provisions  [of  food  for

                  the winter] in the harvest. 9 How long will you lie down, O
