As Christians we must understand Poverty.
Jesus takes Poverty out of people, not people out of poverty.
Poverty is a SPIRITUAL DISEASE more than an economic condition. It is an inner disease of the soul and spirit that manifests itself by a scarcity of resources. Poverty is a set of choices which become a lifestyle, such as laziness, fear, get-rich-quick schemes, disobedience, envy, anger, dishonesty, bribery, idolatry, adultery and theft, etc. To overcome this disease a person must first remove it internally from within. Poverty is the fruit of sin. Poverty cannot be cured with money, neither will it go away by spreading the blame. Both Poverty and Prosperity start from inside.
