The World’s top poor choices that lead to poverty
- a lack of ambition
- dropping out of school
- unplanned pregnancy
- multiple children with no support
- exorbitant debt
- living beyond means
- arrested
- gangs/drugs/gambling
God’s primary reasons for poverty
- The Principle of Surety (don’t be a co-signer for other’s debts) - Just as being friends with the righteous can bring us blessings, joining with those who are dishonorable can bring joint-judgment.
- Being Slothful (a sluggard)
Proverbs 6:1-11 My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger, 2 Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth. 3 Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend. 4 Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids. 5 Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
6 Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: 7 Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, 8 Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest. 9 How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? 10 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: 11 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.
