GDP per capita is often considered an indicator of the standard of living of a given country, as it reflects the average wealth of each person residing in a country. It is therefore the standard method used to compare how poor or wealthy countries are in relation to each other. With 2018 just under way, we decided to take a look at our forecasts for GDP per capita from 2018 to 2022 for the 127 countries we cover to get an idea of what countries are the poorest currently and which will be making a leap toward becoming wealthier in the coming years.  The projections used in this study are Consensus Forecasts based on the individual forecasts of over 900 world renowned investment banks, economic think tanks and professional economic forecasting firms.

     Poor people became pitiful because of how they are treated by those who are in authority. Many rich people continually increase their wealth, but never gives help for those who are poor.
       They need income rather than foods. Because the food that you are going to give them is just for a while but the help of how they will receive an income for their daily lives is a big help to them.
     Many poor people didn't receive proper education that's why many of them was ashamed and have fear to work. They only beg to live, the hope that they have is from those people who will give them. Some of the poor made crimes, it is because they want to experience having something that they didn't have.
       Also, some are decided to do something even though they are not willingly to do it, but just to survive they made themselves as sex slaves as for them to go out of poverty.
       
     For the needy shall not always be forgotten; The expectation of the poor shall not perish forever.

Psalms 9:18 NKJV

                          
      We shall never judge poor people because of the mistakes that they have done. They didn't really know what they do. They need the Lord in theirlives, the hope of God's Word will take them out of poverty. They need to hear the gospel, Jesus Christ our Lord always look for those who are poor, because He knew that they are those people who are in need. Mostly, they need Jesus. 
      I have experienced to beg and I know the pain of lacking something you need. Not only something but having no one by my side. It is very pitiful, and many laugh at me and keeps bullying me. And because of that I asked God "Why?". 
     God still used someone for me to be taking out of poverty. When I received Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, the way I think have changed. I rebuke already the spirit of poverty in my life. I see that I am not a poor and I will never be. Because the poor people in this world is not those who doesn't have food, clothes, love ones, possession etc, but those who doesn't have " Jesus Christ" in their lives. Because to know Jesus, is to know New Life.
                          
       As Christians, we may not some of those riches people in this world who have anything to give. But the most precious thing that we can give is the hope that they must have, "Our Lord Jesus Christ". And as they start to change and have a new life they will surely be out of poverty. 
       
      Now Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.  And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms from those who entered the temple; who, seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked for alms. And fixing his eyes on him, with John, Peter said, “Look at us.” So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them. Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them—walking, leaping, and praising God. And all the people saw him walking and praising God. Then they knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.
