Social poverty, which is also called the poverty of relationship, is one of the worst forms of poverty. Inability to keep a good relationship or be at peace with others is a manifestation of this poverty. People suffering from this poverty may have the temptation of living a solitary life. Sometimes, this poverty is the result of a deep hurt or the failure of a victim to forgive others.
A particular case of this poverty was that of a woman in her forties. All through her life, she was told that her father died when she was a baby. However, as she grew up, she came to find out that a man in her family that she has been made to call “Uncle” was her true father. Unfortunately, “Uncle” was her mother’s blood brother. This woman therefore was the outcome of a wrong relationship of a ‘blood’ brother and his “blood” sister resulting in pregnancy. On finding out the truth, the woman cut herself off from everybody, and found it difficult to go into any marriage relationship. At over forty years of age, she still remained unmarried and could not keep any friend.
Another woman who has been married to four different men before the age of forty recounted her experience. She said that there was a satanic guard that came into her life who always broke her relationship with men. This woman until her deliverance was suffering from poverty of relationship.
A person whose life is lacking the favour of men is also suffering from another form of social poverty. The situation where a person always runs into problems with other people is a manifestation of social poverty.
shalom!
