Lamentations 5:9 says: ” We gat our bread with the peril of our lives because of the sword of the wilderness.”
The battle against poverty is also the battle against “scarce favour.” When a person’s life is devoid of favour and he/she has to work for everything he/ she gets in life, that person must fight against poverty. One of the blessings that make life free from all manner of insufficiency is DIVINE FAVOUR. Hence, we must fight against scarce favour. When contracts become scarce; customers or clients seem to have forgotten your address or contact, and patronage is low, you must battle against poverty.
This battle is also the battle against “failure at the edge of breakthrough.” When someone sees breakthrough, and is very close to it, but is suddenly denied, he/she must battle against poverty.
When people make promises to you with good intention, yet fail to fulfill them, you must battle against poverty. If you continue to experience disappointments in areas that include financial and material income, you must fight to overcome poverty.
shalom!
