Some churches like prosperity churches make it appear as if sometimes suffering is a sign of God's disapproval. The suffering we may experience are due to any of d following reasons. 1. Inherite sin from Adam. Psalms51:5. In Isaiah 33:24 there is a link between inherted sin and sickness. Matthew 9:2-7, John 5:5-15 2. Consequences of our individual actions. This is in line with d principle in Galatians 6:7 which sow that we reap what we sow. Eg if u violate God's law on sexual morality, violate his law on blood and other works of the flesh and suffer sickness some of which has no cure. 1 Corinthians 6:18, Acts 15:28,29. God's principles on morality is not restrictive as many see it but protective. Deuteronomy 32:4,5. 3. The world is under Satan's rulership and this means woes for earth's inhabitant John 12:31; John 16:11;Revelation 12:7-12, 1Peter 5:8; 1John 5:19, 4 Consequences of the wicked actions of others.eg someone who commits murder brings a lot of suffering on the surviving relatives, u steal one's property earned with his sweat u subject that person to the pain from loss of property Philipians2:15; 2Timothy 3:1-5 5. Prove that Satan is a liar and that rulership by God is the best than rulership by many which is characterised by greed, corruption and abuse if power. Remember Sataan in Genesis 3:1-6 alluded that man wud be better of without God.Read Jeremiah 10:23, Ecclesiates 8:9. Man was never created to rule fellow man independently from God. All human govts and kingdoms are under Satan's influence. No wonder Jesus rejected the offer of kingdoms by Satan during his temptation.Matthew 4:8-10. In Daniel 2: 44 these earthly government wud be destroyed by God's kingdom and replaced with his universal kingdom or theocratic government. Above all it is wrong to blame God for human sufferings. Job 33:10; James 1:13-15 2 Likes |

But Jesus already paid the price to redeem us from unnecessary pain and sufferings? I refuse to believe that God has a hand in our sufferings |

Thistrendblog: My dear you are so wrong. Stopgiving unbelievers ammunitions to gun you down. The almighty does not allow individual suffering for his glory , we all have portions of responsibility to fulfill, suffering is part of this sinful world and we must all work together to put an end to it as it is never Godswill for anyone to suffer. 3 Likes |

Musicians like Davido wizid etc. Are they suffering? Pastors like Oyedepo Adeboye etc Are they suffering? If u are lazy, u will suffer. Its very sad when people blame God for the suffering in the world. If u suffer, its your fault. Even if u pray, it may not go. Eg. U fail exams and start praying to pass without reading, u will suffer failure 1 Like |

see, i think everything listed up there is completely out of it. you're suffering only because of you. your actions now will determine if you will suffer or not. now come to think of it, those big pastors, did God allow them to be rich so they will forget heaven because u said it is for us to have heaven in mind. lack of common sense will make you talk like this. Even God will not be happy with this because he said, i know my thoughts towards you, its the thought of good and not to suffer. God didnt plan on allowing anyone to suffe, he has nothing to do with it. he has given us everything to utilise so we won't suffer, but still we do things that will bring suffering on us. What den do you want God to do then? Adam sinned, Jesus has washed the sin. god nor de force anyone to go to heaven |

What we believe about God will affect our lives. It will determine how we deal with strangers, interact with fellow employees, raise our children and treat our spouse. Op, Suffering is a destructive behaviour. Does God engage in destructive behaviour? No. "You are what you eat." There is some truth to that since healthy eating leads to a healthy life and bad eating leads to a life full of health problems. However, equally important is a truth that you are what you worship. |

HungerBAD: the problem is not adeboye or oyedepo the question is if God give you all those riches would you still thirst for him like you used to when you had nothing or less you forget adeboye and oyedepo were not born with a silver spoon they really suffered in life to before God saw even with lot of riches this men would still serve me. it high time you open your eyes bro (no offence) |

Op needs to also tell us why God also kills his people. Cos the last time I checked, some of his worshippers perished inside a church building collapse in Lagos and Uyo. |

Thistrendblog: Rubbish... Man has free will to choose what to think, what to say and how to behave. You are 100% responsible for your actions and your actions reflect on others and can cause their suffering. Now the laws of karma will take into effect the choices and their consequences... What a man sows shall he reap in bountiful harvest. Blame not thy Lord your God for man's suffering as all suffering can be traced to the choices of someone . So becareful of spreading false knowledge. If you choose to vote during Nap election for a candidate because he or she is from your tribe ,village or religion not because you know he or she can do the job ... Then tomorrow when they inflict suffering you turn round and blame God? Man causes suffering of his fellow man not the Lord |
