5 Reasons Why Christians Dont Receive Answers To Their Prayers by Nobody: 7:45am On Sep 27, 2015
Happy sunday brethren. You might be praying to God for something very essential, might be a job, admission, finances, marriage, fruit of the womb but you dont receive speedily answers and at times you pray for years and it still doesnt work out. Relax there are skeletons in the cupboard you need to fish out that is witholding answers to your prayers. Listen attentively.
Your Life Of Sin - yeah its your life of sin that is witholding your prayer request and God does not hear. You might still be living in sexual immorality, lies, jealousy, covetousness, gossip etc. And you go and kneel down and pray but sorry the prayer cant pass the ceiling.
Isaiah 1 vs 15 -When you spread your hands, I will hide my eyes from you, and when you make many prayers i will not hear because your hands are full of blood. And also in John 9 v 31 says that God hears not sinners but if any man be a worshipper of God and does His will, God hears. So its your sin that seperate God from you so He wont hear your prayers.

Lack of Patience - the Lord Jesus told us to keep on praying and not faint.(luke 18 vs1) this is another reason why people dont receive answers. God's timetable is not like man's own, He needs you to be patient and not rushing Him up. So be patient always whenever you ask God of a request.

Selfish Lust Desires - in the book of james chapter 4 vs 3 says that you pray and ask but you do not recieve because you ask amiss so that you may consume it upon your lust, oh well you ask God of big things that you schedule so that as soon as you receive it, you use it to flex around with the desires of the flesh. God knows your heart and wont give it to you till you repent.

Not Abiding With The Lord - yeah the word of God says in John 15 vs 7- if you abide in me and My words abide in you, you will ask what you want and it shall be done to you.
Have you been praying to God and ask Him of something important? Always abide by praying continually and going to church, study His Word, obey His commandments and praise Him daily and abide continually and you will receive answers to your prayers.

Lack Of Faith and Forgiveness - in mark 11 vs 22 the Lord taught us to have faith in God for whatever you desire when you pray, believe that you receive them shall have them and also forgive so that God may forgive and answer.
These are the reasons you dont receive answers. And you keep on praying but no hope. Obey this steps and receive final answers to your prayers.
Happy sunday

The main reason is hypocrisy, accusing others of what you yourself do. Saying bad things about non-Christians especially Muslims, excommunication of other Christians because they don't agree or accept your views. These are just few, all I listed are the qualities and characteristics of "ProphetUdeme", OLAADEGBU, truthman2012, parisbookaddict, annunaki a.k.a goat, etc.

Example of the Ops post against his own fellow Christians :
ProphetUdeme:
chai see as you finsh my wife. Ha ha ha ha guy i don laugh tire. But na the mouth i for carry yab Yemi Alade. Mehn that girl too worwor but she de make yanga too much. Her face no make am at all

Annunaki:
The same shitty quoran that said the earth is flat and the sun sets in muddy water? grin tongue

Annunaki:


It's mohamed that is filthy pig, I just read somewhere that there is strong evidence to believe he could have been in an incestuous relationship with his daughter fatima, it takes an extremely dirty pig to sleep with one's daughter.

These are the kind of Christians we've in Nigeria today, I'm really scared! No respect, just throwing tantrums anyhow.

Ok

But I know that David in the bible had his short comings but was proclaimed by God to be the Man after his heart.

On a lighter note, Dangote's children don't need all these

Disobeying natural laws e.g. rest, adequate sleep and relaxation, poor hygiene and sanitation, overfeeding, etc. All is needed is to adopt healthy living not prayer or fasting!

Another is not responding to repeated warnings by the Holy Spirit.

God help us all!

Bottom line: God does not/cannot answer all prayers for reasons best known to him.

Not condoning sin, but all have sinned, and have fallen short . . .

Think of all the 'good young' people you used to know that are no more, or those going through really bad times, while the wicked/indifferent prosper.

Even in the bible, Abel was murdered by his brother Cain shortly after sacrifice to God -- you think he didn't pray, or his sins were too much to be forgiven?

Think of Paul, Stephen, John the baptist and many more.

OTOH, think of the ones God saved: Daniel, David, Schadrach, Meschach, Abednigo, the same Paul again, and many many more . . .

Our ways and the creator's ways are far apart, what we see as right might not be in his eyes, saying a man's prayers was not answered simply because of sin alone is limited reasoning . . .

God allows some things to happen, things beyond our comprehension -- and this really bothers me and some others too, it makes us feel cheated and unwanted -- but it is what it is.

Our knowledge of the universe and it's workings, both physical, metaphysical, and spiritual are very limited, even though we feel we know everything because we've read the bible, quran, and some other educational books.

You can only pray, work, and hope for the best -- it ain't math, if it were, most 'righteous' people should be living in bliss already.

You can only try your best, and ask God for forgiveness.

If you know you have sinned and confess to him, no matter how dark the sin may be, he will wash it to be white as the stars in the sky... so nothing will make God not to forgive you and answer your prayers if you ask for his forgiveness

Praying is a way of talking to yourself. Thinking out loud,

Nothing good comes out of it.

Prayer is the same thing as fantasy, you only wishes for the best while praying without working expecting a magic to perfect your wishes for you.

The greatest time waster is prayer.
