Breaking the Curse of Poverty  David K. Owusu


               Revelation 13:8 [AMPC].

               The redemption script was complete and later rolled out in God’s
               salvation plan as Christ was revealed and He died on the cross to
               redeem man from the curse.

               John says this of Him:-


                  “In the beginning [before all time] as the Word (Christ) and the
                  Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself, He was
                  present originally with God…and the Word (Christ) became flesh
                  (human incarnate) and tabernacle (fixed His tent of flesh, lived a
                  while) among us; and we [actually] saw His Glory (His honour,
                  His majesty), such glory as an only begotten son receives from his
                  father, full of grace (favour, loving kindness and truth), the next

                  14 &29 [AMPC]

               The devil would have no recollection of this to the extent that if he
               did the bible says he wouldn’t have crucified Christ. The death of
               Jesus on the cross highlighted the devil’s permanent defeat and the
               restoration of God’s original purpose for man since creation.

                  “None of the rulers of this age or world perceived and recognized
                  and  understood  this,  for  if  they  had,  they  would  never  have

                  crucified the Lord of Glory” 1st Corinthians 2:8 [AMPC]

               “Well! But isn’t prosperity only recounted in the Old Testament;
               Of  Job,  Solomon  and  the  patriarchs  of  faith?”  Some  would  ask.
               The good news is that the gospel accounts record nothing short of
