Acceptance of poverty as a sigh of holiness by some set of christians and the rejection of poverty as a curse by some sets of christians as been causing a-lot of misunderstanding,we are going to use some scriptures to make our proof.In the bible there are lot of scriptures that can show us the mind of God pertaining to poverty and prosperity.
The scripture that we are going to use is 2cor8:9,the verse made us to understand that jesus came to make us rich the bible verse that has been wrongly interpreted by many for years is 1Tim 6 :10 "the love of money is the beginning of evil"in the bible that scripture has been misinterpreted by many ningning that money is evil but that it is not what the verse is saying,the love of money,the attitude of looking for money at all cost not minding God is the root of evil and not money itself.
I have even heard of minister pledge to poverty because he misunderstood the scripture.Such kind of people believed that poverty is neccessary to live a godly live ,that it is absurd ! poverty might be the mark of religion but it's not the mark of christianity,bible made us to know that christianity is not a religion but a relationship with God if you study the scripture.
The scripture we are using has corrected the impression that many has that poverty is a perequisite for serving God.Otherwise 2cor 8;9 will be false and nningless .Poverty is contrary to the provision of God in the bible, therefore reject it in its entirety.
No father would want his children to live in poverty,the bible tells us that God is our father and his wealth is beyond human comprehension.In the scripture it is noted that we are heirs to vast estate.He has given us blank check ,so it's up to us to fill anything we need in the blank spaces.The bible verse 2Tim 2;1 gave us the order to take advantage of the grace in christ Jesus and enjoy prosperity.
Don't let the world put the mark of religion on you,reject poverty because the scripture has established it that prosperity is your right in christ.
