But why do you have to beg him to provide for the weak. Does he need to be told?
you should ask for the sake of God's glory, ask because he's your father and ask to fulfill God's will.

Asking for our daily bread reminds us that we are sinners.

I should ask God to fulfill God's will.?

Christians are so confused that they say things that they themselves don't often understand...

Okay, and since when people have been asking God to fulfill God's will, why are millions of innocent children still suffering of hunger. ?

So we need to be reminded that we are sinners before god can save us from starvation. Talk of a merciless, arrogant, boastful bully calling himself god

my answer was quite clear and direct.
No madam. This was ya response, "yes, thank god". Its very different from "YES, I thank god" - which I expected you will reply with.


Make it clear here by copying the any of the responses I wrote down and paste, instead of running in circle.

Hope you now dig. Do you thank god for live of people who lost their lives in ghastly car accident?

You see, you don't understand the Bible. Some part are not to be understood literally while some are.

Christians are funny

The question is this?

If you pray before eating a food that has been poisoned, will it harm You?

Adeboye's son, Dare Adeboye once suffered food poisoning and was flown abroad for treatment to save his life. He was treated medically and not by prayers. Yet this is a man who boasted on driving on empty tank.

Sheeples open your eyes and be wise, dont die in ignorance.
Being the Son of Adeboye doesn't mean he's a supernatural being or a saint.
His dad drove on empty tank, fine, Jesus performed many miracles and still killed by human, good, nonetheless, his DAD you said, not him.

Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of faith, is what the Bible says, Jesus is a good example of prayer before eating, when he broke bread and prayed before Eating with his disciples.

Christians love the way they live, and know what they derive from it.

So, leave them alone!

I think the tradition of meal-time prayers is to give thanks to God for provision. Its one way children can learn humility and appreciation.

Prayers before meal has become part of religious belief, especially Christians. some times i pray just to thank God for provision and to provide more. nothing else though everyone has its own motive based on their belief.

Prayer is useless...

Homo Sapiens III 15:12
12. Sacrifices are useless and prayers are for the weak. But he who wants to be great will use his head to think deep, be his own god and do good to his fellow human beings.

Hmmm Insightful words, Actually i believe in God and prayer though. But seems u know something.

You speak with so much certainty. More like it was stated somewhere in the Bible. If provoked to bring up Bible verse, you will say I need the Holy spirit.

Yet some people are starving. What can you say about them? Those without shelter? Those in pains without anybody to help?

Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. John 14vs 13, Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.john 16vs 24. You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions. John 14vs3. some people ask without working towards what they want.. wisdom is profitable to direct. we should not use prayer in place where common sense should be applied.

@bold
So it invalidates the fact that God's word in the Bible are allegorical or what? Where he claimed to be omnipotent, present, scient etc. It also invalidate the verse where god said before I was born, he knew thee? Also invalidates the psalms of David where he said the Lord is my shepherd I Shall not want?

Lemme even play the reverse ball of ya god will here. If I said it was God's will that some people will go to hell, instantly, you will object to this statement of mine.

Good. Claps. I so much love the Bible. It can contradict and at same time agree with itself. Well

Matthew 6:8, "for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him."
Isaiah 65:24, "And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear."

john 16vs 24. You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions.
John 14vs3. some people ask without working towards what they want.. wisdom is profitable to direct. we should not use prayer in place where common sense should be applied.
Madam and I ask where, when do we employ prayer instead of wisdom and vice-versa.

Yet under the canopy of a all loving god, many still starve to death in Africa where this omni god is exalted the most cheesy

From a societal POV I guess and not biblical.

Even in car accident scenario abi?

Exactly I what I want you talk. Hard work pays and not not or god factor bullsh!t

Was it god that did the hard work undecided

This is not applicable to the doctrine of Christianity
