    Description:

    Poverty, like sickness, disease and infirmities, is not of God. For there is no virtue in poverty and no one can take pride of it. (Anything that destroys the dignity of man and makes life miserable is not of God). However, sometimes, if not oftentimes, poverty in a person’s life develops faith and character (James 2:5). And Jesus Himself has called the poor“blessed.” Of course, this does not mean the idealization of poverty because poverty is a form of bondage – an imprisonment - a “state of torment” in a person’s life where he wants to get out from. The poor are “blessed” not because of their poverty but because of their spirituality – their being poor in spirit.
