The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.
MESSAGE
When I was very young, my family was so poor that other poor people referred to us as poor. I did not wear shoes until I was 18 years old. I got my first pair of shoes when I was about to graduate from Grammar School (secondary school or high school). Today, my story has changed because I am in Christ, and by the grace of God, I can be categorized as wealthy. Beloved, I have tasted both poverty and wealth, and I know that wealth tastes better.
Today's Bible reading says that the blessing of God makes a fellow rich without adding sorrow. As long as you do not forsake God in your journey on earth, He will no doubt establish His covenant with you. You may be experiencing some difficulties now, but in due time, you will enjoy God's supply (Philippians 4:19). The Lord who says that the earth is His and its fullness thereof (Psalms 24:1) will not let His child suffer.
He has already made provisions for you. As long as you follow His principles, which include giving (Proverbs 28:27), you will not lack anything on earth.
PRAYER POINT
Father, I reject poverty in my life and family, in Jesus' name

HYMN 3 - DRAW ME NEARER
1 I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,
And it told Thy love to me;
But I long to rise in the arms of faith,
And be closer drawn to Thee.
CHORUS:
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died;
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.
2 Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,
By the pow’r of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine.
3 Oh, the pure delight of a single hour
That before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God,
I commune as friend with friend!
4 There are depths of love that I cannot know
Till I cross the narrow sea;
There are heights of joy that I may not reach
Till I rest in peace with Thee
