Exposing the Hidden Truths and Building a Road to Real Freedom
By Astro D’ Great
Introduction:
When Prayer Becomes the Only Cry
In the quiet of many prayer rooms, you will find the voice of the poor rising like incense crying to God for change, for provision, for escape.
And yet, years pass, and many of those cries seem unanswered.
Not because God is deaf…
But because we misunderstood how He answers.
Poverty is not just a lack of money. It is a web mental, spiritual, emotional, generational. And prayer, while powerful, is not a magic wand.
So here’s a painful but liberating truth:
Prayer alone does not destroy poverty.
But prayer, with action, wisdom, and strategy, can break the strongest chains.
What Poverty Really Is (More Than Empty Pockets)
Poverty is not just about sleeping hungry or having torn clothes.
It is:
- A broken mindset
- A rigged system
- A spiritual attack
- A generational story
- A tool of manipulation
Some live in material abundance, but are spiritually and emotionally poor.
Others are rich in wisdom, but trapped by bad policies, corrupt leaders, or toxic environments.
And worst of all, some have been brainwashed to believe that suffering is holy.
“When you normalize lack, you baptize bondage.”
The Weird Truths No One Tells You in Church
Let’s get real. Here are some bitter pills:
- Many churches profit from your poverty. The poorer you are, the easier it is to make you give out of desperation.
- False prophets preach prosperity, but never teach productivity.
- You’re told to “sow your last seed,” but never shown how to manage or multiply income.
- Some religious systems create emotional dependence, not spiritual maturity.
Faith is not foolishness.
Miracles are real, but they are not the plan for daily survival.
What Prayer Really Does
Make no mistake prayer is powerful. But here’s the truth of what it’s meant to do:
- Break spiritual yokes: ancestral curses, demonic limitations, and fear
- Unlock ideas and visions: divine direction, clarity, boldness
- Attract divine favor: connections, helpers, sudden opportunities
- Stir inner strength: resilience, focus, faith to keep moving
But prayer does not replace:
- Learning a skill
- Writing a budget
- Showing up daily to work
- Creating solutions
- Building relationships
Even David prayed but he still had to use a sling.
So What Does Break Poverty? (The Real Strategy)
1. Mindset Shift
“As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.”
You must stop seeing yourself as a victim.
The poor are not useless they are untapped warriors.
2. Skill & Knowledge
Use your phone not just for TikTok, but for tutorials, digital skills, freelancing.
YouTube can teach you anything if you’re desperate enough to learn.
3. Start Small. Stay Consistent.
Begin with ₦1,000 or less.
Buy, resell, repair, learn. Push forward.
Wealth comes slowly, and grows silently until it shouts.
4. Pray and Plan
Don’t just pray. Have a plan.
Write goals. Execute them. Make adjustments.
5. Break Generational Chains
Some poverty is not financial it’s ancestral limitation, curses, or demonic cycles.
These require warfare prayers, deliverance, and confession.
But after casting the demon of poverty cast out laziness too.
The Enemy Uses Poverty as a Tool
Poverty isn’t always accidental. It is often engineered:
- To keep people obedient to corrupt leaders
- To make votes cheap and minds dull
- To enrich a few by enslaving many
- To destroy dreams in their seed form
“A hungry man doesn’t chase purpose he chases survival.”
But you can fight back.
Your Freedom Begins with a Choice
You don’t need to have money to be free.
You need truth, wisdom, work, and God’s breath.
Pray — but act.
Fast — but plan.
Give — but grow.
Believe — but build.
Final Word: Don’t Just Wait for a Miracle. Become One.
You are not poor because you lack things.
You are poor if you stop trying, learning, believing, or rising.
“Prayer is your fuel. Work is your wheel. Wisdom is your compass. Purpose is your engine.”
It is time to rise.
