Rise from the ashes
God says that as far as He is concerned all people should sit in royalty. Not some special ones only. This is evident in Ps 113 which says He raises the poor and needy from the ash heap and seats them with princes. The fact that there is so much unequal distribution of wealth is not God's plan. It is not altogether the problem of those who have the wealth either. They have applied certain principles and it worked and the fact is that money makes money and the lack of money leads to greater poverty. The redistribution of wealth by means of force and government programs is not the way to fix it. You cant steal from the rich to give to the poor. The poor will have to rise up and apply the principles, get some capital to assist and be trained to make it happen. Often the beliefs and values of the poor communities, especially rural African communities, does not allow for such an outlook. Well, the rest of the world should then not point fingers to the wealthy and say that they are causing those people to be poor. There is more to it than meets the eye. The fact is, every person on earth can enjoy God's abundance and overflow in every area of their lives. Those who will dare believe this and apply biblical truth will experience it.
