ronkebp: Nobody chooses to be poor, everybody wants to be rich, but their attitude towards life and their life in particular will determine whether they will be rich or poor. 'unseriousness, laziness and procastination' are part of the foundation of poverty.

narttis1:

I think you've never been in a helpless situation where everything seems not to work yet, you're doing everything right.

johhnnie: Really, I believe personally that staying in poverty or being poor is by choice. All men irrespective of background or upbringing are born equal though with different opportunities. If poverty was not by choice,late Abiola, Awolowo, Bill Gates, late Steve jobs, M Jackson etc would wouldn't amount to anything.

Making money is about the easiest thing in life depending on what you open your heart to believe. If the mind can conceive it, the mind can achieve.

Have a blueprint for your life and you will be amazed how far you will go in life. Where some people see opportunities in challenges others see challenges as opportunities to lament and wallow in self pity balming everyone else for our woes.

My dears, your destiny is in your hands. You only can determine how far you will go in life. But first u need to widen your scope and carve a vision for yourself.

See a man diligent in his works, so shall he prosper....., a little sleep, a little slumber; in no time will poverty creep in to your warm embrace.
Instead of you analysing/criticising how some pple got the wealth, y can't you be creative and add values...

Some a human problem that has wide application and attach a monetary reward fro your effort and see if you will not be rich.

pastors will continue to prosper as long as the govt refuse to do social/economic/environmental justice.


people want to be recognised.. every one is a psychological animal of importance.

Be good at what you do, learn on the route. and i will tell you that in every classroom setting, there are basically two sets of student that are worthy of emulation 1. those that are reading so that they can get a good job with fat salary and 2. those that are studying not necessarily hard but hoping that one day, they will set up conglomerates that will absorb the first set of people.

I disagree when premise making it on lack of opportunity. All men have equal opportunities. I told myself something early in life and that has been my principle... that I was not born in to a rich family before God knew that I did not need ]rich parents to make it in life.[b So he gave the rich parents to those that can not think on their own.[/b] Have read the book 'other people's money'? pls, read it.

God must have believed so much in to have given me a golden opportunity of being a self starter and I can tell you today that I don't owe a thank you to anyone except God.

So my dears, being poor is by choice and will should learn to be answerable for our actions. Also, note the laws of attraction.. whatever you vibrate towards will definitely vibrate towards you

Yield: It depends on the situation. Some people're born into it. And when they're not given the proper aid or don't encounter opportunities to help them get out, the cycle will continue.

logicboy:


Do you really think that your post makes any sense?

1) First you talk about vision. Vision or goals are good but if you dont have any means to achieve them, the vision is a useless.

2) You talk about God and Moses. The old testament is of little relevance to modern day life. God also told Moses on how to regulate slavery in the old testament.

Bullshit. . . . . .Dangote and his brother dantata were born into a wealthy family but they maximize their potentials and today,dangote is the richest man in Africa.where do you get this crap about other peoples' money from ? It's not anybody's doing that they are born into a poor or rich family,so stop blaming those fortunate ones like they are parasite !

Youngsage:
yes, u may be born into it, but to remain in it is a choice. Even the bible says ...and u shall make your way prosperous. Joshua 1. If u sit down there, saying i'm waiting for proper aid and opportunities without striving, seeking knowlege to develop urself, then sorry.
Someone jokingly, once said, when u die and angels ask u why u didnt live life to their xpectation and u answer because i was poor, and they ask u why, u say because my parents were poor, right then u'll receive a knock on ur head!
You may be born poor, dats okay. But if u die poor, dats not okay!

kcswat: :owonders!!! So bluetooth can reason like this..

Zilja:

I agree with you about the cycle. I'm sure its hard to break when you were born into it and you said proper aid. It seems like you almost have to be destin for greatness day of conception to have different outcome.


I believe that there are different levels of "poor" and some levels are better off than others but yet still considerd poor when you compare to the middle class living. Some middle class people are considered as poverty living. Some wrold contries are "poor" so therefore you have no choice but to live below your means if the means are not available. All peole are Gods people and he knows what they need and when they need it.

You have got to be careful what you allow into your spirit. The more you speak about this the more it becomes alive. Not all Pastors/Preacher are called by God.

Find you a church that you agree with the Doctrine being taught and you won't have to come to NL and ask such a question.

crackhouse: Yeah, he said it cos he believes poverty is a choice made by poor people. Probably the man was poor before venturing into church business and now he have found out that church business pays and that he would have remain poor if he had not made that choice. I think that is the reason why he said so.
