Breaking the Curse of Poverty  David K. Owusu


                  you shall be a fugitive and vagabond on the earth [in perpetual,
                  exile, a degrade outcast]” Genesis 4:11-12 [AMPC]


               A curse once pronounced takes a supernatural force and becomes
               operational. Words have power. Just like it’s easy to speak a blessing
               and watch it manifest, the reverse is also true. The spoken word
               wields  that  power  to  bring  this  into  manifestation.  After  all,
               everything that exists was created by the spoken word from the
               mouth of God.


                  “By faith [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence
                  in the power, wisdom and goodness of God] we understand that
                  the worlds (universe, ages) were framed and created [formed, put
                  in order, and equipped for their intended purpose] by the word
                  of God, so that what is seen was not made of things which are

                  visible” Hebrews 11:3 [AMP]


               Curses are spoken (as they were spoken against Adam and Eve in
               the garden)
                  “Then to Adam, the Lord said “Because you have listened to the
                  [attentively] to the voice of your wife, and have eaten [fruit] from
                  the tree about which I commanded you saying ‘You shall not eat of
                  it”…the ground is now under a curse because of you, in sorrow
                  and toil you shall eat [the fruit] of it all the days of your life…but
                  thorns and thistles you shall eat the plants of the field…” Genesis

                  3: 17-18 (AMP).


               This  is  also  seen  in  the  new Testament  where  Jesus  cursed  the
               fig tree and the following day the disciples found the tree having
