OyinO:What questions? Asking me to answer any question about God is like me asking God how and why some things happen which is not in our place to know. God is God and he expect us to worship him in good and bad times. I serve God not because of the good things he gave me but because he is God, creator of everything. I will not be able to serve God faithfully if all I want from him is to satisfy my wants, that is selfishness and greed combined. If he doesn't grant my wish, I become enemy with God,. Is that how it is suppose to be? |

Omokowa: Obedient to God? What does that mean? If you mean to obey those thing you call ten commandment, let me help you... Those laws are palgarism law... It existed thousands of years before Torah was even written. If you mean confessing Jesus as god, its also useless bcuz whether u confess or not, it doesn't make you a good or bad person (infact the most fearful people on earth are the so called religious people). You also do me a favor, answer this my question. If your God is supreme as you claim... It would mean you're worshipping g a supreme God and then you'll have better advantage than any other person who doesn't. So tell me one advantage of a Christians over non Christians or believers. Advantage not promises. Thanks 1 Like |

Gilbertkwabena:The Truth of God does not depend on what Nigerian Christians do or don't do. You are right that I have indeed prayed and n0t received but even after 22 years, I am still holding out hope that now that I know Him, He will indeed prove His word true by answering a 22-year old request. Gilbertkwabena:Even those 3 billion will quickly tell you that they were not able to get their hearts desire in all that they have each gotten. Gilbertkwabena:Even the dangote's have desires that gone unmet and that is nothing new as far as humans are concerned. Life for some has become a game of settling for that which is available when that which is deeply desired is not within reach. I have no desire to be a dangote... I am who I am meant to be and I am content with that. What I desire, only God Himself can give to me, and since I found Him, I intend on collecting since His promise, He freely gives. If you choose to depend on fate for your own desires, then goodluck with that. I have God, so fate is meaningless to me. |

Omokowa: You deal with only one of the gods called Jehovah, but I deal with thousands of them. I see and record their activities and I can authoritatively tell you that currently Jehovah your god as well as thousands of religious gods is now held captive in a spiritual cage. If it is not so, I won't have the boldness to tell you this. May the Light of God Almighty reveal this truth to you someday. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Galactico4ever:Try obeying Jesus Christ commandments for a change. They are about 5 or 6 commandments as far as rebooting your relationship with Him (becoming worthy of being His follower) is concerned. Become like a child as commanded and begin to work your way through those commandments until the Spirit of God bears witness to you that you have indeed completed what He commands. And then see if your prayers are not answered the more you continue to allow Him lead you. |

Kobojunkie:Do you care to share the 5 or 6 commandments? |
Re: Why Are My Prayers Not Answered?? by Kobojunkie: 7:06pm On Jul 29, 2020 |
Galactico4ever:Here they are.... each Passage is Jesus Christ saying exactly what we have to OBEY in other to become His followers... 1. Become a child again in your thinking and your actions
2. Be prepared to abandon parents, brother, sister, children, spouse, in-laws, e.t.c. 3. Abandon all that you know/believe, have, and all that you are 4. Be ready and willing to bear your own burden (not someone else's cross - not even your family's or children's) 5. Be prepared to lose life(reputation, career, control, property, etc.) Matthew 16 vs 24-27 6. Desire above all to find and enter the Kingdom of God and also walk the path of righteousness, with God as your guide every step 7. Let go of all control you have over your life and circumstances, allowing God to take care of your every need * taken from another translation to boost ease of reading |

mhizsuzzy:Spare me your bible quotes please before you start trying to sound like one resolved, principled, happy loving person. You have lost your identity as an African by buying into this colonial scheme they call christianity. Y'all can keep faking, decieving many others & fooling yourselves as long as y'all want till it's probably to late.. I & many others have desisted from being a part of this mental prison called religion & more would desist from a continous awakening ever spreading. An African christian is a broken, deranged & destroyed weakling. |

mhizsuzzy:the best guidance is the Holy Spirit not friends, that's why few of us who seek God by force without anybody's guidance found him deeper than those that were guided Being guided by human will only leave you at the level of your guidance knowledge, he or she can't teach you what he doesn't know All the religions in the world were founded by people who seek God without human guidance 1 Like |

God listens to people from all nations. (Psalm 145:18, 19) His Word, the Bible, encourages us to speak to him about any matter that concerns us. (Philippians 4:6, 7) Yet, some prayers displease God. For example, repeating memorized prayers does not please him.—Read Matthew 6:7. Also, Jehovah dislikes the prayers of people who willfully disregard his law. (Proverbs 28:9) For example, in Bible times, God refused to listen to Israelites who were guilty of murder. Clearly, we must meet certain requirements to be heard by God.—Read Isaiah 1:15. What must we do to be heard by God? We cannot approach God in prayer without faith. (James 1:5, 6) We must be convinced that he exists and cares about us. We can strengthen our faith by studying the Bible because true faith is based on the evidence and assurances found in God’s Word.—Read Hebrews 11:1, 6. We should pray sincerely and humbly. Even God’s Son, Jesus, was humble when he prayed. (Luke 22:41, 42) So, rather than tell God what to do, we should try to understand his requirements by reading the Bible. Then we can pray in harmony with God’s will.—Read 1 John 5:14.
