Often I have wondered why some parts of the world are wealthy and people have enough to eat and drink etc, but other parts live in wretched condition.

We may never understand it fully, but Since I have travelled a bit, I did understand some factors were involved in this

1. political Will
2. Economic freedom
3. General Attitude of the people
4. Technical know how.
5. Population

Some good examples I can give you of nations that were nothing but dustbowl and total wrecked right now rising to be economic giants and totally transformed cities and nations are

1. Dubai (uae)
2. Gulf nations
3. Singapore
4. South Korea
5. Japan (massive recovery since world war 2)
6. China and India growing rapidly
7. South Africa
 

I never want to believe that God blesses some and "makes some poor" , in fact most nations have been blessed with enough resources and land for everyone.

God has created this earth to sustain man and give all that is needed to sustain man. It is mankind that has never put these resources to full use.

Look at Africa, there is so much mineral wealth and other natural resources, yet wrecked in poverty and endless violence. Some of it has to do with evil spirits controlling the air and atmosphere of such nations,

corruption, and greed and general attitude of people have all hindered progress.

God does not want anyone to suffer needlessly, HE has given all resources, it is that people just dont want to do things.

an evidence of fallen nature of man.
