obembet:I think so many "Christians" in Nigeria completely isolate themselves from the "world" and neglect to do what is needed to advance in life. Even Jesus alluded to that in one of his parables (Luke 16: 1-12). Verse 8: "And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light." 1 Like |

Kobojunkie: Being a just nominal Christian guarantees you nothing Rightly application of God's word, commands and instructions brings prosperity and success A genuine believer may be going to church But not applying the principles of God's word in his or life For instance The major way to prosperity as a Christian is through giving Give to God's work Give to those in needs Give to your relatives in needs Added with hardwork, thinking smart, taking adequate actions This is a principle that has worked for me time and time again You must be a giver Be deliberate and intentional with your life and actions Think smart and creatively Also be a person of prayer and having time for studying God's word Living a clean Holy life You can never fall Most times Many Christians are not applying all these principles in there life Therefor they fail woefully in life 1 Like |

My brother what what was posted is the simple truth. Girls who live a rough life seems to marry good and wealthy man. Even in carrier it happens. Check out this politicians most of them are 3rd class holders. But all I can say here is the grace of God upon one's life. God2man2again: |

Dangerousboy:Jesus Christ is the Law promised by God through the Prophets, God's Truth, the embodiment of the Law in the Kingdom of God. His very teachings contain the details of the Law - the very terms and conditions by which we are meant to live our lives in the Kingdom of God by. Matthew 23 vs 1- 36, are just some of the curses that impact the lives of those who are of His Kingdom but refuse to submit to and obey His teachings and commandments. |

You guys have started with all these baseless assertions. If your siblings get admission tell them to start balling and attending clubs, they shouldn't go to church or mosque shikena. Well at least the arguement its not about virgin/ non virgin ladies being a better wife this time around 1 Like |

Virtue has it own reward, hardwork has it own but being evil and rich have no reward. Dont mix flashy things with reward. As you grow older, you understand; its not the way you think at 20 you think at 30 and 60. When you make the money you will get a new understanding too. Poverty just makes this things appear more needful than they appear. If you need money through any means go and look for it and stop sinning hating those that got it. At the end we all have less than 100yrs to drop it all and continue to wherever we see ourself. My solution is 1. Listen one of Steve Jobs valedictorian. He said it all in 10mins. 2. Read Jeff Olson book 3. Have a goals your Pursue 4. Stop serving God because of what happens after we die. We all have same weather and time. Don't judge by Nigeria, everything we know about riches and godliness is so skewed. |

phemmyfour: This is because they learned early on how to survive in the harsh life's terrain. Most of them did not really go into runz because of greed; they were into it to survive. There is the struggle for survival everywhere in the world even in the so called developed country, how much more a country like Nigeria where those in extreme poverty live below a dollar per day. Look at the prices of garri, beans and rice in this Buhari time. How will people survive? Some of the runz girlz sef even sponsored dem own education (even though we, and the society disapprove this ay of life). So they are more experienced on how to plan their lives and move unlike some very churchy guyz and mummy's pikin who don't understand the pains of earning and who don't have open hearts to mingle with others. What they don't tell adolescents and young adults especially in church is that they need money to reduce life's problems and to make things work for them and therefore, they ought to be focused and prepare early. The general excuse from the guardians is that they don't want dem to quickly tear eye open for money matter, but when these young adults are set for life, they begin to struggle and they are welcomed to harsh reality. And all those guardians, you won't see dem to help or they are unavailable to help. Bro. na God know how him fit judge people |

djon78:In the Kingdom of God, success is joy measured according to world standards but according to that defined by Jesus Christ. So your principles, if not in line with the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ, amount to nothing and whatever success you think you gain meaningless in the Kingdom of God where it ought to matter. Those of the Kingdom of God are bound to a different set of rules than those in the world that is why one should never be easily decieved by the things of the world and the world's measure of success. |

Kobojunkie:how is Jesus Christ the law? Laws that was written on tablets of stone? Any way, check out this scripture Rom.13.8 - Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. Rom.13.9 - For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Rom.13.10 - Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. |

SocialJustice: Pretend all you want, there's something called grace. Well, unbelievers call it luck. If it doesn't happen to you, you are likely going to spend all your life struggling. My advice is work hard and pray. Even the Bible tells us that faith without works is dead. May God remember you. God bless you! 1 Like |

Sometimes God gives the best of this life to those who have no hereafter. But it is always not so, there are many believers doing extremely well all over the world. The only problem is this, an unbeliever has little regard for ethics or fair play as far as success or succeeding is concern. He can do anything to get what he wants or succeed, it may sometimes not be to the extreme but it can always be that thing that's capable of putting a taint on his integrity or undermine his principles he careless. He can cheat in an exam, he can impersonate where possible, as a purchasing manager he can inflate cost to the detriment of the company he represents, as an account he can steal even by proxy, as a sales executive he can defraud both company and customer to his advantage, as a politician he can rig election in broad day light or kill his opponent to grab the position, as a lawyer he can lie against the truth to win a case and get the price, as a medical doctor he can abort to make more money, as a govt worker he can inflate contract and receive mouth watering kick back, as a student she can sleep her way to good grade or get involve in cultism to coward lecturers into subjection, they can co-habit on campus to get a suitor or fake pregnancy. All this a child of God cannot do both in personal life and business, so at some point the unbeliever may seems to tower above his counterpart, but God said it will be well with the righteous. Psalm 37:16 Better is the little that the righteous has than the abundance of many wicked. 1 Like |

juseng:you are right but I have come to realize that some of those reserved ones are so lazy that they leave what God had created them to do to be successful, to God in prayers. Whereas the bible said, “ see ANY man DILIGENT in his work, he shall stand before the kings “. God is a God of principles. Lazarus in the bible was righteous, but was very poor. He died and still made heaven. Those out going one are risk takers. They believe that it is only their efforts that could make them succeed, so they put all their best and turn out the best. I have seen Godly ,reserved, hard working ones. Their success is unimaginable. God’s grace + godliness + hard work = high flying 2 Likes |

Kobojunkie: Jesus said the centre of all commandments is Love He defined it as though shall Love the Lord they God with all the might, strength and soul And though shall Love thy neighbor as thing self The law and the prophets are centred on this pivotal Truth Loving God and loving our fellow human being is what God wants from us And everything we do revolves around that Any other thing outside this is off It's because God loves humanity he sent Christ Jesus to the earth So love is the center of all to both God and man |
