Offpoint1: This is to the extreme.... The scriptures never asked us to just pray and not work.....God works and while Jesus was on earth he worked all the time.... The scriptures said Watch and.pray that's the instructions... Prayers works....and it has worked for me and still working... You won't get answers if you're sinning You won't get answers if you don't BELIEVE....you must believe and you must be a believer..... Having said that let me give you few instances... I resigned from my previous work place at the thick of Covid19 ... Then had many interviews got to the final stages for 95% of those yet offers weren't coming...I had near offer issues . I got tired, ingore some invite and then went to God I prayers .. In fact I joined a deliverance session and within the same week I had two offers By the end of that month, I had more offers Offers with good pay and flexible working conditions that I was able to combine two of those.... And more kept coming that I have to turn them down God answers prayers ...pray right and HE WILL ANSWER 8 Likes |

My travails in the higher institution, imagine finishing secondary school at an early age, spent years seeking admission, finally got admitted in one of the federal universities, then i started facing trials here and there, got homeless at a point, my parents having ceaseless financial setbacks, it got to the extent i could not pay fees and i was sent out for that, i never shed a tear, i collected my bestie's school fees receipt and impersonated her, infact its a long story, in all i give God the glory for where i am today and I know he is taking me to the peak, happy mothering Sunday to my mum and every other loving mothers out there. 4 Likes |

ibedun: Africa is poor due to world's politics. It is man that dominates man. I know you think that if Africa become more educated, they would be freed. But the truth is that education opens your eyes to the evils of the powers that be, it can't remove that evil. America is not America because it's people are educated. It's America because the current world's politics favours it If you are wise, go and study more on this. And your eyes will open to how the world powers, IMF, worldbank, etc, have been deliberately keeping Nigeria and Africa poor 4 Likes 1 Share |

Offpoint1:1 ok can you give example on these every prayer has a result its either a no or a yes or wait. like for an example you are a rich dad and you are very wealth you have a 6 yrs old son.now you went to france for shoping and your son prayed to you dad when coming back buy me lexus 350 2020 model.now knowning how wealth you are will you buy it for him to driver when his 6yrs old. 2 anybody can work and get result the sun shines to both wicked and the righteous, whoever that sow reaps 3 ya this is the best faith without work is dead when you pray for something there is part you are meant to play.example i prayed for God to give me a job and the next thing i started summiting cv"s to companies he will give it to me.another one i dont sick.i once sick when i was small and i prayed and tell God then that i dont ever want to be sick again and have faith in the finished work of christ by his strip am heal i said to God if you dont fall sick and you dont go to hosipital then me being your child i cant spend my money buying drugs then.so instead of using money to buy drugs i will give it to God and tell him to keep his part of our deal.and dont forget this any prayer you prayed that is 100% responsiblity on God is not a good prayer you gat to do something 1 Like |

specialmati:I asked for honest answers, but you're too afraid to give one. I lost interest in reading your when I start getting a familiar analogy of 6 years old. I'm not a baby to ask for irrelevant things or things I don't need at a time. You've been very crafty with your answers and I am used to your kind of answers. I needed something different, but I know you'll be too afraid to give. |

Kingsbridge:good this is it whatever situation you are going through now he knows but want you to come discuss it with him like we do with our earthly father.so all you need to do now is go to him in prayer add fasting join tell him everything ask him for direction listen he will tell you what to do. dont be in a haste. God is never happy when things are not moving well with us just like your eartly father not going to be happy that things are not moving well for you.seek God with all your heart my dear you will find Him.God wants to see things work out for you,He want to see you happy.shalom |

Nothing & I pray nothing will. I work hard to get what I want & he always crowns my effort with success Those days when things were dark, in times of danger, in times of need, he never left me, even when i prayed for something i didn't receive, he shows reasons why he didn't give it to me at that point in time and blesses me with more than I hope for later on.

RuddyFusion:I know I'll get the usual lines "my prayers wasn't answered because of sins" but if I ask what was that sins I won't get an answer. Why should you pray and work? Where is the God factor in that if your work for it? |

specialmati:Let me give you a more "relevant" scenario. As a person you loss your parents at your teenage when you were preparing for your higher institution, their death halted that ambition because they were to be your sponsor. You prayed for a miracle, for a sponsor to show up. You've been dedicated and fervent in your prayers for 10 years and nothing happens. You woke up to reality that prayers aren't making no difference, you quit praying and start working towards sponsoring yourself, you did all kinds of hard labours, saved to achieve your ambitions, after 2 years of rigorous hard labours and saving... You take on your ambition and got your ambition... Can you you attribute this success to prayers or to your hard works? Please be honest and sincere. 1 Like 1 Share |

Casham:i see ,ok forget whatever that have happened and do it again now let me give you an illustration when one falls sick he visit the hosipital and the doctor will give him some medicine he wiil go home taking those medication in the hope that he will get healed.now remember the medication for malaria is different from that of a kidney failure patients or a sickle cell,high bp patients. and the recovery period difers.and the patients have hope that he will get well in the process of taking his medication.so why give up on praying to God knowing fully well that he will answer you someday.the doctor (God ) the medication (Prayer) you cant stop your medication until you are fully healed no matter the long period then why stop praying.now go back to God and pray until you get result.shalom |
