Debt
and poverty are two of the major challenges in the world today. Statistics show that over 46
million people live in poverty and 80 percent are in debt. Why do millions of people live in
poverty? Why is the average person in debt for their whole life? Is life designed for the masses
to be in debt and poor?
"The
rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the
lender."
[Proverbs 22:7]
It seems as if the economic
system is set up so that the main things we need in life are unaffordable to the masses. Therefore,
to stimulate the economy and alleviate this, credit evolved to make unaffordable products and
services affordable and also as a means for the wealthy capitalist to get richer by investing their
wealth in financial institutions for huge dividends. As the result of this investment scheme, debt
has spread like wildfire and the wealthy are getting wealthier.
The big financial institutions main objective
is to loan as much money as possible, because the interest charged makes them and their
wealthy majority shareholders wealthier. When you need a house, furniture, car or college
education; they are gracious enough to loan you money at a profit. Debt profits the lenders
while the people in debt to them have to work to pay them. In essence, when you are in debt
part of your income goes to the lender.
Debt is the main reason
millions are still working past retirement age. Most people are enslaved to jobs by credit card
debt, auto loan debt, mortgage debt, medical debt or student loan debt, etc. They often live pay
check to pay check barely making ends meet. However, debt can be your adversary as well as your
enemy. It can be helpful, but can also easily get out of control due to mismanagement or some
catastrophic circumstances.
Many people in the world are
poor without any money at all. They cannot afford healthy food, a home of their own, clothing,
health care, medicine or the bare necessities of life. Therefore, obviously poverty and debt are a
part of life for them. However, believe it or not, it is mostly derived from conscious or
unconscious choices which cause the actions or lack of preventative actions.
Why
are people all over the world in debt or poor? It is written in the Bible, "My people are
destroyed because of lack of knowledge." In the context of money, this means lack of knowledge
of money and its spiritual connection to mind and God. The universe of abundance is plentiful
for all beings; the lack of knowledge about its spiritual power is the reason why many people
around the world are struggling, suffering and enslaved financially.
Being poor or in debt is a
choice we make. Sometimes these actions seem unpreventable, but there is always a subconscious
motive that we may not be aware of that are causing those choices. If you have a debt or poverty
mindset, that is what you will manifest in your life.
Believe
it or not, debt and poverty are the symptoms of a deeper problem that stems from lack of
education about the spiritual source and universal supply of money and lack of discipline. It is
caused by the lack of understanding that the source of abundance and prosperity is God.
The
more you understand the connection to God, money, your mind and the spiritual source that
supplies abundance, the easier it will become to prevent and overcome debt or poverty and
manifest prosperity.
Set a
goal to be out of debt or financial enslavement and begin to move towards financial freedom.
Don't be concerned about exactly how right now; just know the reason why, which is because it is
God's will for you. Now continue to work on clearing and cleansing your old mindset of poverty
or debt beliefs until the Holy Spirit or God, works his magic in your life.
