It’s OK to be poor!

Let’s pray 🙏🏾 and get this day underway♥️!

Hey family! 💛 I pray your morning is off to a PEACEFUL🌿 and PURPOSEFUL🔥 start.

Let’s talk about a verse that completely flips the world’s logic upside down—Matthew 5:3. Jesus said, “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Now WAIT✋🏾…what? Poor?? That doesn’t SOUND like a blessing at first glance, right?

But here’s the TRUTH💡—when Jesus says “POOR IN SPIRIT,” He’s not talking about lacking money💵. He’s talking about realizing we are SPIRITUALLY BANKRUPT💔 without Him. Being poor in spirit means we KNOW we can’t do this life on our own💨. We are WEAK💤, we are TIRED😩, and we are in DESPERATE NEED🙏🏾 of our Savior.

The world says “be INDEPENDENT,” “be STRONG,” “pull yourself up.” But JESUS says, “Come to ME👑. Trust ME. Lean on ME.” Being poor in spirit means we throw our hands up 👐🏾 and say, “LORD, I CAN’T—unless YOU do it.”

And guess what? That posture opens the door 🚪 to the KINGDOM of HEAVEN🎉. There’s nothing weak about DEPENDENCE when your source is ALL-POWERFUL💪🏾.

So today, read 🕊️Psalm 34:18 and 🕊️John 15:5 and then BE POOR👣—in SPIRIT. And watch GOD show up as your PROVIDER🕊️, your STRENGTH⚔️, and your SOURCE🌊.

... Read moreIn today's fast-paced world, the notion of being 'poor in spirit' often conflicts with societal values that prioritize independence and self-sufficiency. However, understanding the biblical perspective reveals a transformative truth. Being 'poor in spirit' is a recognition of our limitations and a call to depend on a higher power for strength and guidance. This dependence is not a sign of weakness; instead, it signifies the acknowledgment that we cannot navigate life alone. Reflecting on Psalm 34:18, 'The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit,' we see that God reassures us of His presence in times of trouble. This verse encourages a posture of openness to receive divine help, which can lead to spiritual rejuvenation and healing. Additionally, John 15:5 states, 'I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.' This verse emphasizes the importance of maintaining a close relationship with Jesus, allowing us to draw strength and sustenance from Him. When we adopt this humble position of 'spiritual poverty,' we cultivate intimacy with God and invite His powerful presence into our lives. He becomes our provider, our strength, and our joy, which transforms our struggles into testimonies of resilience and faith. Allow yourself to be 'poor in spirit' today and witness the abundant grace and blessings that follow.

🌍 Africa is Not Poor
Let’s get one thing straight: poverty isn’t Africa’s natural state it’s the result of centuries of extraction. Colonization didn’t just “visit” Africa it stripped it. Of its people. Of its gold. Of its diamonds. Of its dignity. But even after all that? Africa is still standing. Still thriving

Why saving is causing you to be poor.
Saving money the traditional way doesn't work anymore. You can't save to become rich or even to buy essential items. After a few weeks, you end up dipping into your savings to cover necessary expenses. Additionally, the value of money decreases over time, so $500 today may only be worth $49
