POVERTY, POVERTY, POVERTY, is a sickness that reduces a man to nothing. When a man is down he will know those who truly loves and cares about him. Hazon's money was tied down both spiritually and physically. Hazon had contracts and finished all jobs that has been assigned to him yet they delayed all payments. Hazon wrote letters appealing for his payments but yet they were ignored. Hazon could no longer provide for his family, this made him beg for money in order to get Love's medications.

Rejoice was earning little salary at her place of work, yet she sends money home for her sister's medications. On a faithful day, Hazon went to the church to ask for money for his daughter's medical bills. The resident pastor refused to give Hazon the money claiming the church does not have money. Hazon was begging him because he had no place to go again. A lady in the church heard the conversation that was going on and went to meet the general overseer and told him what was going on. The G.O sent her to get some money from his office and give to Hazon. Hazon was disappointed at the resident pastor because he knew the family so well and knows the predicament of the family. Hazon was so grateful to God, the G.O and the lady who helped him out.

Words began to go round the church saying Hazon is a beggar and he uses his daughter's condition to collect money from people. Church members did not want to associate in any form of business with him. They said all manner of evil against him. (In all of this, isn't the church meant to encourage, comfort and help each other since they are a family?).

Job 30:28 says, "I go about mourning for comfort, I stand up in the assembly and cry out for help"

Rejoice got to find out about some loan apps and told her father about it. They started borrowing and borrowed to pay, this continued months after months. Rejoice tried getting salary advance but was declined twice.

However Rejoice health began to get worst which made her to skip work often. Rejoice had sleepless nights, she goes to the hospital every week, the doctors began to question her genotype and asked if she has sickle cell. The company she was working for laid her off because of her health. Rejoice was really heart broken and was thinking of how she can raise money to pay her debts.

The spirit of depression began to set in, loosing her job, no husband to call her own not moving forward but just being stagnant. She cries to God day and nights asking why her life is in shambles.

Rejoice went back to the north since she had no job again. Meanwhile the pharmacist who supplies Love's medications was making troubles because Hazon has not paid him for three months. Hazon has been in business with him for two years without falling short of payments. The pharmacist refused to understand with him and reported him to the police. The police called Hazon to the station, he went to there with Rejoice and showed them all the proofs of receipt which showed that the pharmacist has collected millions from Hazon within two years. Everything was going in favour to Hazon and the police men began to blame the pharmacist of what he did. Hazon stopped doing business with him for months. The pharmacist later admitted he was wrong and apologized to Hazon and his family.

Times without numbers Hazon begs from his younger brother Samuel. Samuel enjoyed the way his elder begged him for money or food. Sometimes, Joseph is younger brother pleads to Samuel on behave of Hazon to help them out, but Samuel was prideful give wholeheartedly. Hazon was not spiritually sensitive, he was not helping matters at all. They keep telling him the truth about household enemies but he believes none of his siblings will ever be diabolic even with the fact that he knows they do not give him any regard of respect.

Hazon was highly manipulated by dark powers that his eyes were blinded to the truth. Maraya and the children kept praying to God to open Hazon's eyes to the truth.
