Proverty = When Men Worship the Creature Instead of the Creator

"Who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever Amen."  Romans 1:25 NKJV

Are you tired of living from paycheck to paycheck?  Are you tired of waiting for that big breakthrough?  Did you ever have the thought, "Why is life so hard?"  If you answered "yes" to any of the above, then I am writing to you!  God never intended for life to be hard, or for you to live from paycheck to paycheck.  His desire is to bless you!  Oh, you know that, but you're waiting on your big breakthrough!  I can assure you that you're breakthrough is now.  How can I be so sure, because the Bible tells me that God has already provided for you and me.  He placed everything we could possible dream or think of right at our fingertips!

Let's look at scripture.  "Now a river went out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it parted and became four riverheads.  The name of the first is Pishon, it is the one which skirts the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.  And the gold of that land is good, Bdellium and the onyx stone are there.  The name of the second river is Gihon; it is the one which goes around the whole land of Cush.  The name of the third river is Hiddekel; it is the one which goes toward the east of Assyria.  The fourth river is the Euphrates." Genesis 2:10-15  We all know that nothing grows without water, and that providing water throughout the land meant that their would be no lack.  This is the primary function of the first river Pishon, which means to "disperse".  Now this river runs along the land Havilah, which has gold, bdellium (precious stones), and onyx (semi-precious stones).  How would you like to live in a land where there is no lack and where gold and precious stones are in abundance?  Well that's exactly what God has provided for us.

Your first step out of proverty is realizing that you are not poor!  The only difference between you and someone else is that you have not discovered your purpose yet.  Inside of you God has placed great value!  That value has the ability to provide for you, your family and your community. What does all this mean? That their is opportunity for everyone. That their is no shortage of jobs just a shortage of insight. Sometimes we can't see the talents and gifts that God has given us. We have fallen for the deception that God has not provided for us and we worship (run after, seek after) a particular job instead of worshiping God by running after or seeking after the job that He has placed in us. Everyone has purpose, God has provided for all!  Stop running after money and allow money to come to you!
