Demystifying The Curse Of Poverty

In the initial statistics it was estimated that about 13% of people
in China; 47.5% in Sub-Saharan Africa; 36% in South Asia;
14% in East Asia and the Pacific; 6.5% in Latin America and the
Caribbean; a total of about 1.3 billion of the global population were
2
characterized as living under the poverty line.

According to global statistics it is estimated that a greater percentage
3
of people live in abject poverty: It is estimated that over 736
million people globally lived on less than a dollar a day. The truth of
the matter is that God’s intention for man is that he should flourish
and live in abundance; in all sufficiency having all his needs met and
lacking nothing.
“Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in
health even as your soul prospers.” 3 John 1:2 (KJV)

It thus makes any other doctrine a lie as it is written:

“By no means! Let God be found true though every human
being is false and a liar, as it is written, That You may be
justified and shown to be upright in what You say, and prevail
when you are judged [by sinful men]” Romans 3:4 [AMPC]

“Prosper! Reproduce! Fill the earth! Take charge! Be responsible
for fish in the sea and the birds in the air, for everything that
moves on the face of the earth” Genesis 1:28 [MSG]
