Title: Poverty is (can be) a Choice!

"Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: Proverbs 6:10"

Devotion : The Holy Scriptures have revealed to us how poverty can be identified so that we can either choose to avoid it or befriend it. Poverty is an attitude: When you begin to love sleep, slumber, and idleness, you have befriended poverty, and in no time, you will begin to experience lack and poverty.     Poverty is dangerous; it can cause you to sell all your assets, and it can even influence you to commit a crime. Avoid too much sleep and idleness; instead, be industrious, enjoy working, and you will have enough to spare. 

 In my region, farming is a lucrative career path that can provide financial stability, even with limited formal education. The returns on farming are remarkable, as a single grain of corn can yield at least 280 new grains. Additionally, acquiring a trade or skill and practicing it can also lead to financial prosperity. In today's digital age, you can even learn computational skills online and work remotely. If you have a talent for content creation, that can also be a wealth-generating avenue. These are just a few examples of ways to break the cycle of poverty. However, it's essential to remember that ultimate success comes from divine blessing. So, I encourage you to work hard and pray for God's guidance and increase.
