ONLY THE TRUE RELIGION, WITH OBEDIENCE TO GOD'S COMMANDS, NOT REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH (RH) LAW, IS THE SOLUTION TO POVERTY AND OTHER HUMAN PROBLEMS!

TRUE RELIGION, which is the True Knowledge and Worship of God Almighty, is directly connected to PROSPERITY and PEACE. FALSE RELIGION leads to poverty, crime, and irresponsible parenthood. If True Religion is directly connected to Prosperity, and False Religion leads to poverty, crime, and irresponsible parenthood, then why do people and their leaders are taking the RH LAW (population control approach) as the solution to poverty, crime, irresponsible parenthood, and the like?

The BRIDE OF CHRIST MINISTRY OF LIFE

When Pharoah of Egypt commanded the midwives to kill the newly born sons of Israel, they feared God: they did not murder the newborns. 

Pharaoh's plan was so barbarous and shocking, especially to the newly-born, as they are so devoid of self-defense and strength. But because the midwives knew that God had forbidden murder of every kind, they did not take away the life of the newborn, which was against the express law of God, as written in Genesis 9:6. 

WE MUST OBEY GOD RATHER THAN MEN!

The midwives feared God, and dreaded GOD'S WRATH more than Pharaoh's and therefore saved the children alive. 

If the commands or laws of men go contrary to the Commands and Laws of God, we must obey God, rather than men (Act 5:29).

• We must obey God rather than men.  (Act 5:29 HCSB)

GOD REWARDED AND BLESSED THE GOD-FEARING MIDWIVES (Exodus 1:20-21)

God will not forget any kindness done to his people, taking it as done to himself. In particular, he made them houses, built them up into families, blessed their children, and prospered them in all they did. 

The services done for God's people are often paid in kind. The midwives kept up the houses of God's People, and, in recompense for it, God made them houses and families.

ONLY TRUE RELIGION AND WORSHIP OF GOD WILL SOLVE POVERTY AND PROVIDE PROSPERITY

• I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.  (Psa 37:25 KJV)

From Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible:

• True religion tends to make men industrious, economical, and prudent, and hence, tends to promote prosperity, and to secure temporal comforts. 
• True religion impoverishes no one, or makes no one the poorer; that true religion saves from many of the expenses in life which are produced by vicious indulgence; and that, as a general rule, it saves men and their children from the necessity of public begging, and from the charity-house.

They consist of those whom religion, as it would have made them virtuous and industrious, would have saved from rags and beggary. As a great law, the children of the pious are not vagrants and beggars. As a great law, they are sober, industrious, and prosperous.

The vagrants and the beggars of the world are from other classes; and whatever may be the bearing of religion on the destinies of men in the future world, in this world the effect is to make them virtuous, industrious, prudent, and successful in their worldly affairs, so that their children are not left to beggary and want, but to respectability and to competence. -- BARNES

From John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible:
yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken; though afflicted of God, and persecuted by men, yet not forsaken; though poor and needy, and often in necessitous circumstances, yet God in his providence appeared for them in one way or another. For such might be forsaken by men, and even by their dearest friends and relations, yet not by the Lord: they might indeed, at times, think themselves forsaken of him, and their enemies might conclude and say they were, and yet this was not their case, Isa 49:14; and though they may be forsaken by him for a while, yet not utterly; he will not leave them and forsake them for ever, Isa 54:7;

nor his seed begging bread; they being righteous also, which must be supposed; otherwise, as good men have wicked children, these, through their wickedness, may come to poverty, to beggary, as they sometimes do; though a distinction may be made between being poor and beggars; the seed of the righteous may be the one, and not the other: besides, there is a difference between asking bread of others, in some few instances, and constantly begging bread from door to door, in which last sense the psalmist must be understood here; for otherwise he himself in some cases, had asked bread, as of Ahimelech at Nob, and of Nabal, &c. as did also Elijah of the widow of Sarepta: and though there might have been instances of some of the posterity of the righteous who got their bread by begging at the door, as in the case of Lazarus; 

yet David had never observed any such instance during the time of his life, which shows that such instances are very rare; whereas among wicked men and their offspring the case is frequent and common. Again, it may be observed, that the psalmist is speaking in the context of righteous men that are liberal, and give to the poor freely and largely; and it is seldom if ever known that they or their children come to want and poverty. Once more, the word "forsaken" may be repeated in this clause, thus; "nor his seed begging bread forsaken" (x); or seeking it in vain, and finally destitute of it; though they have been so reduced as to beg their bread, they have not been forsaken; they have find it, bread sufficient to support life, as Apollinarius paraphrases it; their bread has been given and their water sure; see Isa 41:17. -- GILL

WHY ARE THERE STREET CHILDREN BEGGING ON THE STREETS? ONLY THE WICKED PEOPLE WITH DECEITFUL MOUTHS HAVE CHILDREN AS BEGGARS IN THE STREET

• For wicked and deceitful mouths open against me; they speak against me with lying tongues.  (Psa 109:2)

• LET HIS CHILDREN WANDER AS BEGGARS, SEARCHING FOR FOOD far from their demolished homes.  (Psa 109:10)

• For he did not think to show kindness, but pursued the wretched poor and the brokenhearted in order to put them to death.  (Psa 109:16)

The BEST SOLUTION TO FREE CHILDREN FROM HUNGER AND EXTREME POVERTY IS FOR PARENTS TO TRULY CRY OUT TO GOD IN TOTAL REPENTANCE!

• Arise, cry out in the night, from the first watch of the night. Pour out your heart like water before the Lord's presence. Lift up your hands to Him for the lives of your children who are fainting from hunger on the corner of every street.  (Lam 2:19)

• Your children have fainted; they lie at the head of every street like an antelope in a net. They are full of the LORD's fury, the rebuke of your God.  (Isa 51:20)

Pray for the life of your young children that faint for hunger in the top of every street; that they might have food and sustenance, to preserve them alive; who, for want of it, were ready to pass out and die in the streets.

ONLY THE LORD GOD CAN PROVIDE THE EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS TO POVERTY AND OTHER HUMAN PROBLEMS; NO ONE ELSE!

• The poor and the needy seek water, but there is none; their tongues are parched with thirst. I, the LORD, will answer them; I, the God of Israel, do not forsake them.  (Isa 41:17)

• IF THE LORD HAD NOT BEEN MY HELP, I would soon rest in the SILENCE OF DEATH. (Psa 94:17 HCSB)

• UNLESS THE LORD BUILDS THE HOUSE, they labor in vain who build it. UNLESS THE LORD WATCHES OVER THE CITY, the watchman guards it in vain. (Psa 127:1 HNV)

Here are what God does to solve Climate Change Disasters, Poverty and other Human Problems:

• I will open rivers on the barren heights, and springs in the middle of the plains. I will turn the desert into a pool of water and dry land into springs of water.  (Isa 41:18)

• I will plant cedars in the desert, acacias, myrtles, and olive trees. I will put cypress trees in the desert, elms and box trees together, so that all may see and know, consider and understand, that the hand of the LORD has done this, the Holy One of Israel has created it.  (Isa 41:19-20)

• So keep the commands of the LORD your God by walking in His ways and fearing Him.  (Deu 8:6)

• For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land, a land with streams of water, springs, and deep water sources, flowing in both valleys and hills;  (Deu 8:7)

• a land where you will eat food without shortage, where you will lack nothing; a land whose rocks are iron and from whose hills you will mine copper.  (Deu 8:9)
