Poverty 


Proverbs 20:13




Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty;open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread




It is very clear from what the scripture says, love not sleep. Think about the most successful people, how much sleep do they get? You shouldn't expect your dream to become a reality when all you do is sleep. wake up and get to work. Do you know the word "sleep" is used to refer to the dead. The more you sleep the more you get closer to death, poverty is death. 




Things don't just happen, people make them happen. Don't just stay in a position and expect things to be different, do something about the situation. I can't become a doctor by sleeping at home or playing PS4, I have to go to school and study hard to become one. Wake up from your sleep and do something about your life.

Dangers of revealing and talking too much

To explain the dangers of revealing lets look at the story of Joseph in the Bible. Genesis 37: 5 Now Joseph had a dream, and he told it to his brothers; and they hated him even more. Genesis 37:19-20 Then they said to one another, ‘look, this dreamer is coming! ‘come therefore, let us now kill him and cast him into some pit; and we shall say, ‘some wild beast has devoured him,. ’ we shall see what will become of his dreams!’   At the end of it Joseph was sold into slavery. Joseph became a slave because he revealed his dream; but who else would he reveal his dream to if not his family (ones he thought to be family) his brothers. From the story of Joseph you will understand that the fact someone is related to you does not mean the person has good intentions for you. So many people are dead today and some living in poverty because they revealed their dreams to someone close; you can call this evil doers today dream killers or enemies that are too close to identify.

False Identity - Wasteful End

A false identity is a fake identity. An individual with a false identity could be defined as someone acting or pretending to be someone else. A person pretending to be someone he is not, is a fraud. who is a pretender or someone with a false identity. Someone that pretends to be what a person desires to have. for example, A man or woman pretending to be calm and respectful just to get married. I have heard of a man that got married only to wake up the next day to discover he married a stranger. The lady he married had a different appearance; using all the make-up in this world to transform her look. A person I knew once told me his friend was angry because his wife deceived him that she was a virgin only to find out after the wedding day that she was not, as little as it does not matter to some people it does to this person in question; she presented a false identity and that was part of the reason he fell in love. There are also a lot of pretenders in the church today who claim to...

Shun Evil Friends

These evil friends are dangerous because they can lead a man to his down fall. In order to know what they are capable of, I like examples from the Bible lets look at the case of Amnon King David’s son. 2 Samuel 13: 1-39 (you can read the full text later). 2 Samuel 13: 3-5 But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother:and Jonadab was a very subtil man. And he said unto him, Why art thou, being the king's son, lean from day to day? wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said unto him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister. And Jonadab said unto him, Lay thee down on thy bed, and make thyself sick:and when thy father cometh to see thee, say unto him, I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come, and give me meat, and dress the meat in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it at her hand Basically you can see that Amnom loved Tamar his step-sister or at least he claimed he loved her and his friend Jonadab (the evil friend in this case) advis...
