The Power Of Prayer by ezicat: 2:22pm On Oct 06, 2012
Christians know well the power of prayer, which is why

- when they are sick, they don't take any pills, they simply pray, and they become well
- when they are hungry, they don't need to hunt or harvest, they simply pray, and they become full
- when they have exams, they don't need to study, they simply pray, and they pass

Or do they?

See how stupid those statements sound? See how impossible?

Why then do Christian ONLY pray for a better country without DOING anything about it? Why then do they keep saying that "only God can save us?" HOW? If we are not willing to save ourselves?

Take these series of actions from your esteemed presidents and leaders: http://www.ngrguardiannews.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=100280:nigeria--52-leaders-hopeful-pray-for-nigerias-growth&catid=1:national&Itemid=559

..."laments slow progress"; "...urges sacrifice"; "...starts a national day of prayer..." "...believes prayer made the US great"

Are you fracking kidding me?! Progress is slow because Nigeria is filled with incompetent, corrupt politicians who wouldn't know development if it SPAT on them; sacrifice? Like the sacrifice they make when they send their wives abroad for treatment? Their children abroad for education? Their assets abroad for security? (how many ordinary Nigerians can afford that...oh wait, WE are the only ones who get to sacrifice while they fatten themselves, right?. How about encouraging camraderia, working TOGETHER to better the country? Having a vision?! As for prayer making the US great...what history book is he reading from? Was that prayer between slavery and genocide of the natives? Here I was thinking that what made America great was innovation, marketing, vision, hard work, harnessing of resources... Is it prayer that is making China great? Is it prayer that made the Asian Tigers great? When most are NOT Christian?

Dumbass! What a baffoon! What a slowpoke! Here's a thought! If you want a developed country, start by NOT electing IDIOTS AS YOUR LEADERS! Otherwise, you DESERVE every hardship, Nigeria! Every SINGLE one!

You make sense die, faith/prayer without work ends up in futility
