i wonder why a christian should serve God 4 yearz but no sign of developemnt or flourishement.is the problm 4rm his christian life or he is not in a rightful way of Gods life.so many people say bkus he is not in any departmnt in church or wadeva bt ive seen sb in a dept but not going far,still stagnated and wallowing in the same problem.pls whats the problem bkus somebdy kn serve God all through his life n nad still goin to heaven

Its because their benefits are not here in the earth but in heaven

Beloved read your Bible very well..Jn.3:16. Despite how deeply God loved his son,He gave him to death..Babies belonging to heads of state don't thy carry? God has armies not dummies,They go through Fires, Trials,Sufferings,Hunger,and tribulations..Etc. Before they become God's generals. Check your bible .

It because their mind is more narrower than the righteous path they claim!!!!!!

Because christians don't know whom they are. If you study the account of the prodigal son well. You will see how the first born suffered for nothing while the last son (prodigal) squandered all and came back to possess his elder brother inheritance. A prince who doesn't know he is a prince will die a pauper.

Wad du u mean?

Wad du u mean?

Check out that parable of the prodigal son.

The boy when to the father (how many christians see God as a father, rather than the big fearful rude ruler up in the sky). Said, Dad am of age. Please can I have my portion of inheritance (how many christians know what God really have and what part of what God have is theirs). Until you know what you have and how you came to have it, you can not lay claim to it. The father divide his own goods and gave the boy one part, meaning the remaining belong to his brother.

Now imagine what this dude did. Lavished all his portion and returned home. But see something. He returned to His father not to his master. The aim of christianity is to make us realize that God is our father. Until we see it this way we can not have anything befitting of a son. How you see God is how you relate to Him.

They just took my light hope to explain more later.

nice one

to furhter help you OP

God ISNT moved by our tears BUT BY OUR FAITH

just leave the religious ideas stamped upon our minds since childhood and look at God this way..........God(the bible God) is an entity or being who is pleased and moved by those whom operate by FAITH(love).

am sure you know so many people whom are visibly righteous in all their en devours yet they are poor, sick , etc some die...(my people die for lack of knowledge,that knowledge is that God isnt moved by our needs but by our faith, see we are small gods and can do what the Almighty did ie in creating with his words etc if we have faith) some Christians expect God to bless or hear them by the works of the hands(their own effort towards holiness), our holiness if filth before God,(so we please him by faith and also God operates by basically 2 laws LAW OF LOVE AND LAW OF FAITH....and law as we know is no respecter of persons... thats why who so ever shall say to this mountain......... and shall not doubt....(notice the whosoever?).

if you doubt me take a closer look at nations who prosper , they subconciously with out intending leave by this laws, but we in Africa here...well God is with us.

also you have a part to play after prayer if God must honour your prayer and that is BELIEVE.......yes believe specifically THAT WHAT YOU ASKED FOR IS YOURS ALREADY............or else your wasting your time.if this belief is inplace GOD WILL ANSWER

Thanks bros, we Christians lack knowledge. Many think tears move God. The day I came to the realization that what move God is obedience, I stopped crying.

No, understand your relationship with God and know the privileges that relationship offers you and then take it.

1. When you have religion, you cannot experience God. What Christians have is religion and none of God so how can you expect them to experience anything that is of God?

You are experiencing yahweh and you are this dejected?

That isn't entirely true at all. Imagine the benefits of living life like Jesus Christ did— doing good works every where you go here on earth. The benefits are to be hard here in this life as well. Sadly, many are distracted by religion, and as such do not follow God — the religion of Christianity is essentially an antiChrist construct.

So do you know who you are?

The devil is not after the unbelievers and fake Christians.
Those ones are not wrestling with the devil.So he will let them be whatever they desire.

A true christian can surfer for many reasons;

1) He is walking on a narrow way which does not tolerate bribery, fraud, lies and shortcuts.
2) The wealth of this world is in the hand of Satan. To get wealthy or to be rich requires compromise , which a true christian will not indulge in.
3) The devil has ways of stealing from true christians who are not watchful and prayerful. The devil's agenda is to steal , kill and t destroy.
4) many christians are not prayerful enough. There is need for one to fast and pray.
5) Many christians don't have the patience to follow the law of God that says : Matthew 6:33 KJV
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
6) Laziness. Whether you are a christian or not , if you are not lazy , you will not be poor. Hard work couple with prayers and holiness will make you rich and comfortable in life.
Genesis 3:19 KJV
In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
Lastly, Christianity is not about this earthly world . It is about heaven.
Too much money and wealth can take you to hell if care is not taken.
Remember the comments of our Lord Jesus about the rich man and the eye of a needle.
