How do we break free from the fear of poverty? Here are three keys: 1. We must call upon the Lord to deliver us from this crippling fear: “But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil” (Proverbs 1:33). Freedom from the fear and bondage of poverty begins by listening to and obeying the Lord! To be financially safe and secure with no fear of lack, you and I must be obedient to the voice of the Lord. 2. We cannot trust in money. We must trust in the Lord, for He is our Source. Proverbs 11:28 states, “He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.” God promises to prosper the person who obeys Him, loves Him, and trusts Him. 3. We must live righteously: “Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments. His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.” Blessings, as a result of righteousness, bring prosperity with no sorrow (Proverbs 10:22). The secret to breaking free from the fear of poverty and moving into supernatural prosperity is to live righteously, to obey God. Righteousness and a righteous life put you in line, legally, to prosper. We are taught this principle again and again throughout His Word: The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish. — Proverbs 14:11 In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble. —Proverbs 15:6 By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, and life. —Proverbs 22:4 Do not labor to be rich. Labor instead to become righteous, as we are told, “Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom” (Proverbs 23:4). As you obey and honor God, “The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee” (Deuteronomy 28:8). Remember, it’s not luck. It’s pure obedience. Seek Righteousness The true secret to freedom from the fear of poverty is faithfulness to God’s work. That’s what brings abundant prosperity that will never cease, for “A faithful man shall abound with blessings” (Proverbs 28:20). And the Lord promised that as you obey Him, He will give you the wealth of the wicked: “The wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just” (Proverbs 13:22). He has so many wonderful things to pour out on you as you obey Him: “For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy” (Ecclesiastes 2:26). True riches are God’s gift to you as you obey Him. Obedience includes giving toward the Gospel, and your harvest blessing will be in direct proportion to the seed you plant: “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again” (Luke 6:38). God is very clear that those who aren’t faithful with what He has placed in their hands will not be blessed: “If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?” (Luke 16:11).
