I Don't Understand God by Nobody: 8:31am On Dec 31, 2014 |
For a long time now, I've been praying to God for a job. I've fasted, prayed and even gone for deliverance at MFM twice, all to no avail. The bible says in the book of psalms that God is love and that His mercies endureth forever. If God is indeed merciful as the bible claims why hasn't He heard my cry for help? Even me, an earthly father will not sit and watch my own biological son, whom I brought into this world to suffer for something I know I can provide him. My question is " Is there anything I can do to make God see the seriousness of my situation and for Him to come to my help?". My fellow nairalanders pls I need ur candid advice and suggestions. |

For God to answer your prayers, it must: 1. Stem from a clean heart. 2. Be in accord with his will. 3. Be from someone righteous. Or it could be that God has something bigger and better for you. |

When we pray , we should pray as if its a petition , Jesus clearly said when we pray we should believe that our prayers has been answered without doubt then we start seeing the fruits. And moreover you can't pray for job and expect a job to fly down from no where, start up something , anything , Ask him for ideas and put them to work , remember God doesn't bless an empty hand he blesses the labour of our hands . 1 Like |

MzNelly:If the 3 things you listed are criterias to receive from God, then nobody is qualified to receive from Him. Though am not one who plans evil or speak ill of his fellowman, I can't say am 100% righteous. What I know is that I believe in God. |
Re: I Don't Understand God by Nobody: 9:11am On Dec 31, 2014 |
tosag: Of course, no one is totally righteous. What I mean by righteous is one who strives to please God. So, decide in your heart if you qualify. |

@Op, how about reading meaning into my signature? You would benefit from its message. |
Re: I Don't Understand God by Nobody: 9:27am On Dec 31, 2014 |
MzNelly:Exactly |

Re: I Don't Understand God by hahn(m): 9:35am On Dec 31, 2014 |
MzNelly: Alll the dying and starving kids in war and poverty raged countries should see this list so their prayers can be heard |
Re: I Don't Understand God by Nobody: 9:39am On Dec 31, 2014 |
hahn: Don't forget Satan is in control. |
Re: I Don't Understand God by Nobody: 9:49am On Dec 31, 2014 |
MzNelly:In control of? |
Re: I Don't Understand God by hahn(m): 9:55am On Dec 31, 2014 |
MzNelly: You're confused |
Re: I Don't Understand God by kevoh(m): 9:56am On Dec 31, 2014 |
MzNelly:Yeah, Almighty Omni-benevolent and MERCIFUL god let's satan be in control while millions of children are dying of starvation. Erm, what do they call people that derive joy in seeing others suffer? |
Re: I Don't Understand God by Nobody: 9:59am On Dec 31, 2014 |
starlingslimnet: The world as a whole. |
Re: I Don't Understand God by Nobody: 9:59am On Dec 31, 2014 |
hahn: I am not confused. |
Re: I Don't Understand God by Nobody: 10:00am On Dec 31, 2014 |
kevoh: Satan is the ruler of the world. Do you expect that God would assist him in ruling it? |
Re: I Don't Understand God by Nobody: 10:03am On Dec 31, 2014 |
MzNelly:Have u not read all thing is subjected to Jesus? |
Re: I Don't Understand God by kevoh(m): 10:03am On Dec 31, 2014 |
MzNelly:This is just puerile and laughable... |
Re: I Don't Understand God by Nobody: 10:05am On Dec 31, 2014 |
starlingslimnet: You've started. I haven't read that. Gimme a Bible reference. |
Re: I Don't Understand God by Nobody: 10:07am On Dec 31, 2014 |
kevoh: So it's logical to assume that the Creator of we, humans would derive pleasure in watching us suffer? That's what Satan wants you to think. |
Re: I Don't Understand God by LordIbro(m): 10:08am On Dec 31, 2014 |
onetrack:you are just lucky you're a pagan that doesn't mean you should draw people to your sh*t |
Re: I Don't Understand God by Nobody: 10:10am On Dec 31, 2014 |
MzNelly:1 Cor 15:27 "For God has put all things in subjection under his feet" |
Re: I Don't Understand God by hahn(m): 10:14am On Dec 31, 2014 |
MzNelly: I beg to differ. First you wrote a list and said that God will answer my prayers if I follow that list but still the prayers of millions of innocent children have not been answered only for you to remind me of Satan. Sounds like confusion to me |
Re: I Don't Understand God by Nobody: 10:14am On Dec 31, 2014 |
elantraceey:My sister, I get what u are saying. Have u seen a graduate who would stoop low to do a security job for a meager 15K a month just to feed? I have done it. What am really getting worked up about is that I know people who dont even serve God or work half as hard as I do who are getting it right effortlessly. |
Re: I Don't Understand God by Nobody: 10:16am On Dec 31, 2014 |
starlingslimnet: Jesus is ruling over the heavenly kingdom, not earth. 1 John 5:19- "...The whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one." |
