LordReed: LordReed: If someone says he is an atheist but prays fervently and never misses church what would you say? As I told you, we all know Christ's teachings and what would be the characteristics of one following. Any other thing is unnecessary argument for argument sake. |

Escaping poverty is not by quoting scriptures. If you like cram these bible verses you can still be poor if you don't work Don't get it twisted, Jesus came to give us salvation not to make us millionaires. Anybody can be rich if they work hard and smart, whether they be believer or unbeliever. |
Re: 7 Bible Verses For Overcoming Poverty by LordReed(m): 6:55pm On Oct 31, 2021 |
PoliteActivist: If I made a claim that no atheist will go to church or pray then you could challenge my claim with such evidence to the contrary. You made a claim and it doesn't seem to bear out in real life. |

Kobojunkie: Of Course the Israelites will tell me that I am right according to the scriptures Ephesians 6:17" And take the helmet of salvation, and the SWORD of the SPIRIT, which is the WORD of God." So my friend, who is a fool? I have a message on my old moniker God2man, titled, Demystifying Poverty. if you can search for it on nairaland , it is still there. It may give.you better understanding of what I am trying to say. |

Forgodsgrace: You are still getting it wrong, there are principles to get wealth but cramming bible verses is not one of them. This grace for wealth you are talking about is for everyone created by God whether they have accepted Christ or not. After creating man, God said go and multiply and subdue the earth. This grace is for all men. Facts and Figures don't lie, look around you, are the Churchy people the wealthiest? There is something that a born again has that some rich people don't have , that's salvation. Salvation with poverty can take you to heaven same with salvation with riches. In all, get salvation first, every other thing is secondary. |

LordReed: I made no claim. I stated a fact. There is a difference. If you state that Atheists don't believe in God. That's a fact. If someone claims to be an atheist but practices belief in God, it in way affects the fact you stated. |

God2man2again:I just love the way the lot of you readily pick and chose the parts of Paul's letters you will adhere conveniently discarding the words of Jesus Christ. Since you see Paul's words as a sort of Goodluck charm to you, only God can tell where it will lead you..... |
Re: 7 Bible Verses For Overcoming Poverty by LordReed(m): 7:45pm On Oct 31, 2021 |
PoliteActivist: You did make a claim, you said anyone following the teachings of Jesus would be less greedy, yet we have the very advocates for Jesus' teachings been avaricious. Your statement can't be fact if it isn't true. |
Re: 7 Bible Verses For Overcoming Poverty by God2man2again(m): 7:59pm On Oct 31, 2021 |
Kobojunkie: The title is,Why you must hate Poverty. |
Re: 7 Bible Verses For Overcoming Poverty by PoliteActivist: 8:31pm On Oct 31, 2021 |
LordReed: That's a FACT. Just as you saying atheists don't believe in God. People who follow the teaching "eschew worldly acquisition" will not be greedy. That's a FACT! |

Comforting verses |
Re: 7 Bible Verses For Overcoming Poverty by Kobojunkie: 10:52pm On Oct 31, 2021 |
God2man2again:Keep moving the goal post! Saying you hate Poverty will not make it disappear from your life. You actually have to do work for it not time remain your lot if that is what you really mean. Without that work either of obedience to God's teachings and commandments, or work for food that perishes in this world, na so you and poverty go dey do staring contest everyday and night. |
Re: 7 Bible Verses For Overcoming Poverty by God2man2again(m): 1:59am On Nov 01, 2021 |

By faith in the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. I overcome poverty in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen. Thank you Jesus. I reject poverty. I hate Poverty in Jesus name.Amen. |

God2man2again:It is not by mouth but by deed that you reap even the blessings of God. If your faith is dead, it yields you nothing. |

Re: 7 Bible Verses For Overcoming Poverty by God2man2again(m): 5:46am On Nov 01, 2021 |
Kobojunkie:It is by mouth ooo. Death and life are in the power of the tongue. I say it with authority in the name of Jesus. My Faith is ALIVE. By faith in death and resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ, I overcome poverty, I reject poverty, I refuse it. I hate poverty. It is not my portion. Poverty has disappeared from my life in the name of Jesus. Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen. |
Re: 7 Bible Verses For Overcoming Poverty by LordReed(m): 6:26am On Nov 01, 2021 |
PoliteActivist: It's not a fact even if you shout yourself hoarse when there is evidence to the contrary. |
Re: 7 Bible Verses For Overcoming Poverty by Kobojunkie: 6:39am On Nov 01, 2021 |
God2man2again:Try reading the same verse paying careful attention to context and this time in a translation that you may more easily grasp. 17 The first person to speak always seems right until someone comes and asks the right questions.Nowhere in that context or the one that follows does the author of the proverb suggests you speak scripture or use it for incantations. He instead writes of your own words and how you use it to engage the world around you. Please when you consult wisdom, pay attention to what she is in fact saying - instead of trying to get her to agree with your personal delusion. |
Re: 7 Bible Verses For Overcoming Poverty by PoliteActivist: 7:29am On Nov 01, 2021 |
LordReed: FACT: Atheists don't believe in God (Remains a fact even if I shout myself hoarse showing you some professed atheists who believe in God) FACT: Followers of the teaching "eschew worldly acquisition" will not be greedy. (Remains a fact even if you shout yourself hoarse showing me some professed followers of the teaching who are greedy) |
Re: 7 Bible Verses For Overcoming Poverty by Charx122: 8:16am On Nov 01, 2021 |
1nice: Please it has started working for me ... Read and understand the scriptures believe the word of God be a doer forget about all these weightless twisted words from some faith killers.. Is all about getting to God and his purpose for your life ..Study the Bible then you will get to know the Man behind the book.. |
Re: 7 Bible Verses For Overcoming Poverty by LordReed(m): 8:37am On Nov 01, 2021 |
PoliteActivist: Dictionary Definitions from Oxford Languages fact /fakt/ noun a thing that is known or proved to be true. I proved your claim false so it cannot be a fact. Shout yourself hoarse some more it remains untrue. |
Re: 7 Bible Verses For Overcoming Poverty by God2man2again(m): 8:51am On Nov 01, 2021 |
Kobojunkie: I have said it. I can't change it. I am not a novice on nairaland. I know your spiritual standpoint. |
Re: 7 Bible Verses For Overcoming Poverty by PoliteActivist: 9:32am On Nov 01, 2021 |
LordReed: You just convicted yourself: [Followers of the teaching "eschew worldly acquisition" will not be greedy] is exactly definition of the word "fact" as you defined it! Just as is "atheists don't believe in god". Educate us. Show us how you proved that statement to be false. |
Re: 7 Bible Verses For Overcoming Poverty by LordReed(m): 10:59am On Nov 01, 2021 |
PoliteActivist: Followers of the teachings of Jesus have been shown to be just as avaricious as any other person. The most notable examples being pastors that accumulate private jets, offshore bank accounts, landed properties, etc. This clearly shows your assertion is untrue, anyone who is a follower of the teachings of Jesus doesn't automatically become less greedy or hateful. |
Re: 7 Bible Verses For Overcoming Poverty by PoliteActivist: 11:24am On Nov 01, 2021 |
LordReed: Okay. What are the teachings of Lord Jesus concerning accumulation of earthly possessions. Do you know? Now educate us how someone following that teaching will turn out greedy |
Re: 7 Bible Verses For Overcoming Poverty by LordReed(m): 7:54pm On Nov 01, 2021 |
PoliteActivist: Matt.19:29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Luke 6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. These are some of Jesus' teachings that they rely on. |
Re: 7 Bible Verses For Overcoming Poverty by PoliteActivist: 8:53pm On Nov 01, 2021 |
LordReed: I now see where the problem is: you don't quite know the definition of greed. In trying to win an argument you are doing same thing prosperity preachers do: misrepresenting Mathew 6. Here's the full quote: it obviously refers to your NEEDS not riches or greedy accumulation: Matthew 6:31-33 King James Version 31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Non of the verses you mentioned is about acquisition and accumulation. See below for definition of greed and Christ's teachings on earthly accumulation

Re: 7 Bible Verses For Overcoming Poverty by LordReed(m): 9:56pm On Nov 01, 2021 |
PoliteActivist: You should take it up with the followers of Jesus' teachings who are avariciously accumulating earthly riches. |
Re: 7 Bible Verses For Overcoming Poverty by PoliteActivist: 10:46pm On Nov 01, 2021 |
LordReed: Same way you should take it up with people who profess atheism but believe in god . Your argument failed because you framed it wrongly. Next time argue that some people who SAY they are followers of Christ's teachings are very greedy |
Re: 7 Bible Verses For Overcoming Poverty by LordReed(m): 11:10pm On Nov 01, 2021 |
PoliteActivist: Point me to them since I have never heard of such atheists. I am not the gatekeeper of who follows your Jesus' teachings rightly or wrongly. Since you seem to be the gatekeeper you have your work cut out for you. LMAO! |
