Dear Nairalanders, there is something that I don't really understand about life or let me say religion. I know some people may see it as luck or destiny. But if we call it destiny, then every Christian or all child of God suspose to be prosper and leave a better life than Dangote.

Because according to Jeremiah 29:11 New International Version that's says For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

But when I check those guys we call pastors and Alfa in School (University) they don't play with Church Fellowship or Mosque prayers, they get the best results, as in when it come to Education, they are very sound but most of this people end up teaching in one local private school or the other. While those Stubborn guys, that go to Club and party every night, many of them manage to get Third class but they end up in better companies, some are abroad while some are in government.

Also, those ladies that doesn't allow man to touch thier hand not to talk of hugs, infact majority of them are still virgin base on thier looks and behavior ( Not all). They always reserve thier body for thier future husband Many of those ladies too are on the street looking for husband up till now and looking old now. Even those that marry among them are still looking for the friut of the womb. But those strippers, Club girls, they hardly attend attend class and many of them even graduated with poor result get the best husband, have beautiful kids and better job.

Now my question is, why those who lived a wayward life in school get better opportunities than Church goer or those Alfa?
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."

We are not taking of what I believe but what it means to be bound to one of God's Covenants. Ask the Israelites! undecided

Sure, you claim your Christianity is against being poor on earth but Jesus Christ did state that in order to become worthy of Him and gain access to Heaven,you first need to Sell everything you have and give it all away- Luke 13 vs 43-46 - declaring that no one will ever enter His Kingdom without doing that first. undecided

Sure, you know some good Christians living good lives but what should we do about the vast majority not doing the same? Pretend they do not count? I may even be possible that those experiencing suffering and tribulations in their lives are instead the ones marked by God as His, while you continue to focus on those who you find successful by world standards. undecided


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

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. undecided

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. undecided

Better opportunities they used their bodies to get as that has always been their ways of making it and getting whatever they want. So, it has become a normal lifestyle for them and continues even up to getting the best jobs while you sit there thinking they get it on a platter of gold.

If I gave in to a the so many rich men that came my way since 2001 ( to sleep with me) I started working, by now I'll prolly own Mansions and fleet of cars because these were super rich men and CEOs of companies, even chairmen and vice chairmen of Island clubs in Ikoyi those days wanted to date and enrich me but I held on to my faith and I'm glad I did. No regrets. I know some day, God will reward me in a clean way.

The Bible already says in the world ye shall find tribulations but that we should be of good cheer, for he has overcome the world. Therefore I'll not be moved by how others are using their wayward life to make it big.

Imagine if the girl that killed super tv CEO didn't end up badly, tomorrow you'll come here to celebrate her. Tufia!

Experience is speaking. You are already blessed; you are already waiting for the manifestation.

Please keep living right. In glad we still have sane ladies in this part of the world.

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

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.

Honestly this question has been on my mind for weeks. Those runs girls in school days are finding it easy now

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.

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.

Such is life, I've gotten to the point where I'm just trying to work out my success not depending on any supernatural being. If supernatural beings want to help, fine but I'm no longer asking for favours, as long as I have life let me see what I can achieve. Na so, because this matter you brought up, if you know how it annoys me.

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!

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.

What you really don't understand about life is that 'grace means undeserved favor from God'.
There's no justification to your claims.
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

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
