Spiritual poverty is a symbol of death.
When we talk about poverty, it does not necessarily refer to the way of life that a person can live on a daily basis, nor for the goods that he or she gets, it also refers to spiritual poverty. For God It is not a matter of money, but of heart as a condition to be accepted by Him. When this last condition prevails, God pours out in abundance blessings, where nothing will be missing that could disturb the peace of the Christian who acts under the acceptance
of the God of armies.
Many Christians associate that material poverty is a way to be close to God, I believe that this condition that the person assumes is how to justify the means, that is, he is cowardly, he is not enterprising, he is satisfied with little, he is manageable and of course he lacks of true faith. God does not want us with shortcomings, He gives bread, clothing, homes, vehicles, trips, and even gives you the computer to give you good use, others, and all this is named PAPA GOD who covers us with
n the Bible, Matthew refers to poverty as a spiritualized term. The poor in spirit are those who are aware of their spiritual need and recognize that the only one who can satisfy them is God. The poor in spirit are blessed because theirs is the kingdom of heaven. It is interesting to note that the kingdom of heaven is not for the self-sufficient, nor for those who promote themselves, nor for those who believe they are righteous, the kingdom of heaven is for the humble of heart, for those who voluntarily decide to abandon everything. effort from themselves to enter heaven and fully embrace what God in Christ can do for them. It is evident here that what the world considers as a weakness, this being poor in spirit, for God on the other hand is a virtue and that is why God says that he is blessed or happy or super happy, all poor in spirit.
2 Corinthians 8: 9
For you already know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, who for love of you became poor, being rich, so that with your poverty you would be enriched.
Here is talking about the Lord Jesus, how He left everything out of love for us and became poor while being rich. There is no one richer than HE, but he left everything, was born in a manger, that way with his poverty we can be enriched.
We can realize that the only one who can give us wealth in an extraordinary way, like nobody else, is the Lord Jesus and that wealth is a wealth of salvation, when it seems that we have nothing, we have everything through salvation of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Poverty, like wealth, is always within us.
