Second colonization in the making and africans are falling for this slavery religion again.

I am tired of examining scriptures picked and read in isolation.

Every favor God granted came after the person had put in some effort either in good character or in hardwork.

It supports my argument that God crowns efforts, not a lack of effort.

And who said anything about lack of effort? Now u said "God crowned Josephs effort with success". D question which u have failed to answer is what if God didn't crown Josephs effort with success? What would have happened to him? What if what happened in Genesis 39:2-3 and verses 21-23 didn't happen, would his effort and hardwork landed him in d palace?

So if am picking scriptures in isolation, pick ur own scriptures urself. So far, u haven't been able to do that. Isaiah 43:3-4 still stares u in d face. Like I told u earlier, if someone shows u favour based on Isaiah 43:3-4, pls turn it down. I don't c were d controversy is

Another person with a funny way of interpreting things.

So telling someone to put their God given brain and talent into use...rather than disturbing God with pointless prayer points now means I hate anything that has to do with God?


Abeg go and read Jesus’ parables on the talents and tell me whether the two guys with 5 and 2 talents were busy praying for favour rather than working on their talents to get multiple returns.

Do you expect a prayer point to capture every passage of the bible before it can make any sense to you??

This prayer point is about favour...

Riches are getting richer... The poor are getting poorer because of limiter opportunities..

A prayer for favour does not mean you will not utilize your talent...


Just like I said, people just hate anything that has to do with God...

Atheist will always grumble but God will continue to favour those that believe in him. .

That does not mean they will become useless in their new job... They have the first class or second class upper for a reason.... They were diligent...
They will continue to show their passion for their new job...

Let them say the prayer, go for the Interview, pass it, get the job and then we can talk about their performances..

God does not bend protocols and criteria, He crowns efforts.

The criteria for getting a result is to at least sit for the exam. You didn't sit for the exam, and you expect God to bend the criteria and give you a result.

Moreover, a pastor should rather have asked people to work harder, to avail themselves of opportunities, and pray to God to crown their efforts. There are many Bible verses to support God crowning efforts, rather than reinforcing laziness.

People are not losing faith in God. It is rather people losing their understanding of what faith means.

You have to understand the Bible to be able to demonstrate God's love.

If you don't understand the Bible, and you try to demonstrate God's love to atheists, they would think that God encourages sowing where we have not reaped when it was in fact God that instituted the phenomenon of reaping only what you sow.

You cannot sow banana and expect God to bend protocols so that you can reap coconut or cocoa trees.

God is not a magician. If Jesus did not have a proper understanding of God's words, He would have jumped when the Devil asked Him to. After all, it was truly said that God would send angels to prevent him from dashing His feet against stones. Why didn't Jesus jump?

Have faith in God, but don't tempt God.

I quoted Genesis 39:1-3. U haven't been able to debunk it with one scripture. I quoted Genesis 39:21-23, u haven't been able to debunk it with one scripture.

D question I have asked and u still dancing round is what if God didn't do what he did 4 Joseph in d scriptures I quoted, would he have emerged prime minister on d basis of his effort and hardwork alone? Uptill now u don't have an answer to d question.

In Isaiah 43:19, God talked about waters springing forth in d desert and making a way were there's no way. That is breaking protocol because waters don't naturally spring forth in d desert. God parted d red sea. No amount of effort on d part of moses and d children of Israel could have parted d red sea. That is breaking protocol. Sarah had passed d age of child birth, menopause. But she had a child. That is breaking protocol.

All those are acts of miracles, not nepotism.

They were virtually forces beyond man, and which God is the sole dependant factor of rescue.

It is not the same as reaping where you did not sow.

Moreover, supposing Moses had failed to use his rod or Abraham had not the faith he is known for and decided not to have sex with Sarah, what do you think would have happened?

The prayer point is not out of place... It has nothing do with tempting God.. Unless we want to be applying grammar and semantics to prayer points...

It is clearly about favour... Simple...

Being a first class guy does not guarantee you a high level of success.. That is life..

Some 2nd class guys are still jobless out there..

Don't say entrepreneurship... You need money for capital and not everyone can dabble to business like that...

If these set of people are praying for God's favour in their interviews, and they got the job, are you saying they will not be productive because they only got the job by God's favor??..

Do you know the number of people that actually passed interviews but get poorly placed or don't even get any job at all??

Favour will never dampen your ability to be productive... In fact, it will encourage to reach for the sky..

People are hating anything that has to do with God on daily basis.. That is their problem.. Even after all the generations of Nigerian Christians are no more.. And another Christian leader emerge, God's favor will always remain a prayer point... That is the truth...

People are scared of facing their corrupt politicians but are bold enough to ridicule what pastors say... Who are shooting themselves in the legs here??

Atheist, Agnostics, indifferents will never learn

Sorry, we are not discussing unemployment or being employable.

Being a first class graduate does not necessarily mean you are employable. So, it doesn't work in this regard.

However, we are discussing the bending of existing protocols.

A man of God should emphasize the Biblical wisdom of faith with work rather than being concerned with bending protocols in a country struggling with nepotism. It doesn't speak well of God, and it doesn't speak truthfully about God.

No its not a miracle. It is nepotism. Cos when u are asking for Gods help and intervention, it is nepotism and corruption.

Pls tell me who had sex with Mary b4 she had Jesus? So y did sex not produce children 4 all d years sarah and abraham were married? When Rachel was barren, was Jacob not having sex with her? When Hannah was barren was Elkanah not having sex with her? Y did d sex alone not produce children? Who made Moses rod effective in his hand? Was it Moses? If d rod was d miracle worker, then moses didn't need God. Exodus 14:14 and 21. Moses didn't use his rod to part d red sea. That's not what d Bible said. It clearly shows that u aren't even informed about what u saying.

Pls read Exodus 33:15-16. That was d difference

Please what is wrong with that prayer? I honestly think people are just responding out of context. The prayer is actually scriptural and that is the truth. Many instances where God broke protocols just so some individuals could be favoured and blessed. Even the earthly birth of Christ was a protocol-breaking experience. As much as I strongly believe there's a lot of falsehood in the church in this end time, I don't criticise everything that comes from the church. Many things may be wrong, but not everything is wrong. That prayer is very right!

so of all the other times he has been praying for you to depart from sin and be born again, you never see. Now that he prayed for himself, you got angry, you are simply without a good reasoning,.
Don't you have mouth to pray your own? If God decides to boycott protocols and answer my prayers, who are you to say no....

He is not an English teacher... Infact some sentences in the Bible are not even grammatically correct... That does not mean they will not carry the same power..
Forget it, this is not the first time that the prayer points are expressed like this...

Church is not only for grammarrian, it is for all that have faith and are acquainted by the context with which declarations are made...

That prayer point is only for those that have faith in God...

I didn't say the rod of Moses was the miracle worker, but rather that God encourages some form of effort from us which He then crowns with success.

As for Mary, it is a one-off incident that has never been replicated.

Whether Mary having Jesus was a one off or not, is that not breaking protocol? I thought u said God doesn't break protocol?
