BREAKING THE YOKE OF POVERTY

12^TH OCTOBER, 2021

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Matthew 14; Mark 6; Luke 9:1-17

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Prov. 11:1-24

1 Dishonest scales are an abomination to the Lord, But a just weight is His delight.

2 When pride comes, then comes shame; But with the humble is wisdom.

3 The integrity of the upright will guide them, But the perversity of the unfaithful will destroy them.
4 Riches do not profit in the day of wrath, But righteousness delivers from death.

5 The righteousness of the blameless will direct his way aright, But the wicked will fall by his own wickedness.
6 The righteousness of the upright will deliver them, But the unfaithful will be caught by their lust.

7 When a wicked man dies, his expectation will perish, And the hope of the unjust perishes.
8 The righteous is delivered from trouble, And it comes to the wicked instead.
9 The hypocrite with his mouth destroys his neighbor, But through knowledge the righteous will be delivered.
10 When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices; And when the wicked perish, there is jubilation.

MEMORY VERSE: “And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.” – Isaiah. 10:27 

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:

No burden should limit your progress and prosperity when you have the burden bearer’s attention in your life.

PRAISE WORSHIP: Take a worship song as led by the Holy Spirit.

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
Powers that are scattering what you are gathering, shall die, in the name of Jesus

THE MESSAGE:

The Turks have a saying: “Poverty is a shirt of fire!” How can anyone in their right mind wear a shirt of fire? Poverty is an enemy that God has defeated for you. This is clear in 2 Cor. 8:9. This scripture shows that Jesus has broken the yoke of poverty.


However, many Christians are still poor. What is poverty? It is a condition where there is little or no money and other material possessions. It is a state of scarcity of means to live. This leads to the next important item, yoke. A yoke is a kind of harness upon an animal that makes it to pull a farming equipment. Spiritually, a yoke is anything that prevents progress. It can prevent someone from fulfilling their destiny.

What then is a yoke of poverty? It is an evil spiritual hold on someone that quashes their ability to prosper in life. A yoke of poverty frustrates your efforts to be rich financially and materially. There are some signs to note when someone is operating under the yoke of poverty: investment without profit, wrong investment locations like MMM, wonder banks, pool betting, playing lottery, gambling, etc. experiencing complete the means to settle debts, etc. What do you do to break the yoke of poverty?

Assess your condition and run to God for help. Run yourself through serious deliverance. After prayers, you must find something to do that God will bless. Remember, “He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread…” Pray to God to reveal your land (what you should do and where to do it) and then till work on it.

Similarly, you can break the yoke of poverty by living a life of holiness and obedience, giving generously to God’s work, by paying your tithe and giving your firstfruits regulalrly, by praying targeted poverty-destroying prayers, breaking covenants and curses associated with poverty and claiming God’s promises on prosperity.

PRAYER POINTS:

MORNING

1. Anointing of abundant living, my head is available enter me, in the name of Jesus.
2. O Lord, raise a wall of eternal demarcation between me and the spirit of poverty, in the name of Jesus.
3. Any power that wants me to work hard without results to show for it, die, in the name of Jesus.

EVENING

4. I reject poverty; poverty reject me, in the name of Jesus.
5. Spiritual parasites, eating the harvest of my labour, catch fire, in the name of Jesus.
6. The profit of my labour shall not go to the storehouse of my enemies, in the name of Jesus.
7. The evil powers that are waiting and monitoring me to gather so that they can scatter the fruit of my labour, die, in the name of Jesus.

DO HAVE A BLESSED DAY
