• It Encourages Quick Money Making Syndrome

Proverbs 28:20
[20]A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that MAKETH HASTE TO BE RICH SHALL NOT BE INNOCENT.

Here, what the verse means is this; whoever is hasty to get wealth is not innocent/sinless. In other words, making money in a very quick and easy way is sinful.

No wonder our generation is driven by money. Many of our youths are engrossed with the thought of becoming like Dangote/Otedola or Trump in one day.

Dear friend, if you really want to make good money.

Sustainable wealth is not made by betting. No matter what you think, you can build an enduring and sustainable wealth through gambling.



Nonsense reasoning.

So Mr. Tunde, you want to tell me that if you are given a LEGIT and quick way of making money, you will not take it abi?

This is one of the reasons why so many people will remain poor because of how they reason.

Abeg, who get two sure odds for me today.

Leicester City is looking like a formidable team these days.

I always report people on here for posting bet predictions simply because they will first ask for money and likely means they want to rip off unsuspecting people, by asking money first


Ephesians 4:11, NLT: "Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers.

And for them who can predict and see the future

Your points are well noted but not well written....Dont knw what you intend to portray but is it directed to the Christians alone?
I was looking for where you will state or mention where gambling is written in the bible but none I guess.....is casting lot the same as gambling or betting as you may say?
take note that no where in the bible is gambling mentioned.
I am a Catholic and according to the Catholic encyclopedia, gambling is allowed as long as neither of both persons involve i.e the staker and the betting company does not predetermine or know the outcome of the bet.
Back to your main point, on a personal note, betting has never made me lazy or greedy....i bet responsively. From sept 2, 2011 i started online betting with nairabet and now sportybet, i have achieved alot....my losing streak is just 3%....
am an entrepreneur, the funds i used in establishing my business, building a house in Portharcourt and establishing most family and friends comes from winnings in betting....my dear, God can bless one in anyway he chooses....Though God is not evil but if you say betting is evil, he can allow a little evil to take place for a greater Good!

That verse - money answers all things, is a negative verse. It was used to describe the actions of the foolish king who in contrast with wise king who uses wisdom to answer all things.

The Mod answered this already.
It was to take a decision who takes that cloth not who gets a bigger or smaller size.
Remember they have already shared one eqaully, but this second cloth could not be shared so lot was cast to decide who take it.
Bretheren seek ye FIRST the kingdom of God and His righteousness and EVERY OTHER THING INCLUDING WEALTH shall be added unto you.
The blessing of the Lord MAKETH RICH and added NO SORROW to it.
It's your life and decision, but we shall all give account.
Happy Sunday.

Thanks for this o
I have never gambled before and just when I am considering it, this came up.
People who gamble cannot be trusted. Some people actually rob other people when they can't find money to gamble.
They keep hoping they will get lucky.
They borrow a lot of money that they can't pay back
They slide into depression when they don't make money from gambling.
