Titles: Abolish Poverty.
“By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him?”I John 3:16-17 NKJV.
The statistics show that 1% of the wealthiest possess more than the rest of the population of planet earth combined. They also show that 1 billion people live on less than US $1.25 per day across planet Earth. (Oxfarm report 2015). We need to pray for the rise of the spirit of philathropy which will result in improvement in public services, living wages, trade barriers, gender pay gap, and closing of the gap between the rich and the poor across planet earth. We need to pray also for fair trading across nations, exposure of corruption and the rise of an anti-corruption generation.
Point of reflection:
His word teaches us in 1Timothy 6:17-19 KJV: "Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; that they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.” As we pray today ask for the Holy Spirit of God in Jesus to move upon those with this world's goods so that they are moved with mercy into action to abolish poverty across planet earth.Do you desire to see a Planet Earth with more equitable distribution of wealth?
