If God Answers Prayers, Why Is Nigeria This Bad In 2021 Despite All The Prayers? by MadeINchenzen2: 11:28am On Aug 07, 2021
I think God has given man all he needs to make the changes he wants to happen in his life. God cannot do for us what he has given us the power to do for ourselves, despite that, we continue to ask him for a miracle.

Rather than looking inwards and discovering our inner strengths... we pray and then leave God to do all the work, hoping that things will change... but sadly they dont.

Nigeria was quite better in the 90's and since then we have been praying tirelessly for it to get even better, but as mornings turned to nights, weeks turned to months and years turned to decades, the status-quo in 2021 is even worse-off after all the prayers and fasting.

What this means is that "we are all categorically wasting time praying... praying in vain !!!

E.g A foolish man will pray to his God, asking him for food after his 'Chi' had already blessed him with some fertile lands, good enough to start a farm... he keeps fasting and praying hoping that one day God will answer his prayer.

He died of starvation and someone else acquired his land and started a farm.

Nigeria is a third world country that's rather declining in its development despite all the fasting and prayers.

China worship no God yet their economy is among the best in the world.

Malaysia, Singapore and Dubai, china, Saudi Arabia and others focus more on human capital development to become one of the best in the world.

...but Africa depends on their religion, praying day and night... believing God will send his Angels to them to help them out of their self-inflicted doom.


Wake up people... wake up !!!

The things of GOD is Foolishness to them that Perish.

The reason you have a Country that is spared from the Wrath testing the Mic all over the nations today is because of the " Few righteous ones here who are standing in the Gap.

The reason the country have not be swallowed up with Grave Disatrous Disaters despite the evil here is the few Holy ones Standing in the GAP.

Very soon, the People standing in the GAP will be taken away so will understand events better and appreciate GOD.

So how can He ever listen to the prayers of Sin Filled Nigerians?

As you can see they have started attacking Nigeria and Nigerians through their movies, Grammy awards, "international recognition" and their usual attack weapons.

There is a God. He has done his work on what he created on earth. Leaving them to sort themselves out while he minds his business.

But the inhabitants of earth will never let him rest or focus on other things or even mind his business in peace... they'll never stop bugging him with prayers.

grin since the 80s and till tomorrow I could always go and be a citizen of any of those your celebrated countries. 90% of my family are there and they have been compelling me to join them for years, but I refused.

Why? I know better.

They are the Children of Rebellion that the Bible spoke of and therefore, I knew that they are Cursed of God.

And in God's Goodness that because they shall have an Eternal life of Damnation, He gave them them His Hidden Treasures which they are using to deceive and kill the souls of you all.

Which is also why you see the Plagues which is clearly stated in the Bible falling on them, yet people are still foolish to think of going there.

Anyway, they are the same, one to another.

So, no, I am really enjoying The Unending Blessings of The Lord here in Nigeria and I am Very Much Satisfied, eating what I like, going where I like and very much enjoying my work exactly as as The Lord Promised shall be the portion of such who keep His Commandments and Statutes and Precepts and Judgements!

They'll tell you "faith without work is dead", but their leaders have already crippled whatever work it is they might be doing. They'll say it's because of our leaders. The same leaders their pastors prophecied that they were coming to save us?
If things can happen with just "work", and things can happen with "work and faith", but faith alone can't make things happen, then faith and prayers are useless.
prayer only works when someone is looking for their car key, or when someone has a headache, or when someone doesn't want rain to spoil their event. Funny lots.

Re: If God Answers Prayers, Why Is Nigeria This Bad In 2021 Despite All The Prayers?

The simple answer is that people do not know what prayer stands for and what they should pray for. Prayer is a way of communicating with a deity/supreme being. In this context, it is the worshipful address made to the Creator of the heavens and the earth. Psalm 5:1

The Bible makes it clear that God only listens to prayers that are in harmony with his will and purpose(1John 5:14) and as outlined by Jesus on the Sermon on the Mount, the popularly known “Lord’s Prayer” gives clues on what we should say when we pray. Matthew 6:9-14
The verse 10 says in essence that we should pray for God’s Kingdom to come to the earth since it is in harmony with God’s will

So what’s the essence of praying for a country to get better when God has already promised a better world in the future on earth by means of his Kingdom? Psalm 37:11, 72:7-8, 12-16; Daniel 2:44; 2Peter 3:13; Revelation 21:1-4

Lol, Christians are funny.
What disaster could be worse than genocides, terrorism, high level of insecurity, malnutrition, extreme poverty, apartheid, slavery, child labor. Etc ? What does Africa want to experience again that it hasn't already experienced? undecided Even foreign countries we strive to go to have even given gay people the right to do what they want, (the same thing the Christian god destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for) yet they're living 100x better than us. Prayer is the most useless act that ever existed.

I strongly disagree. It was never God’s plan for humans to be alienated from him. In fact, he wants humans to draw close to him and he himself took the initiative to make that happen. James 4:8

The first man Adam had the opportunity of working hand in hand with God himself that’s why God told him at Genesis 1:28
“Be fruitful and become many, fill the earth and subdue it, and have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and every living creature that is moving on the earth.”

Already, God had given him the assignment of naming the animals according to what suited him(Adam). Genesis 2:19
There were even an abundance of minerals in the Garden of Eden(Genesis 2:11,12) So Adam would need God’s guidance on how to properly use and harness those minerals for improving the standard of living. That was God’s plan from the beginning and as time went on, Adam would still need guidance on so many other matters that was why the tree of knowledge was put in the garden(Genesis 2:17) so that Adam and his future progeny would know that despite all they would achieve on earth, there was still someone superior to them who would set the standards of right and wrong amongst humans so that there would be no chaos.

But as most people are familiar with that story, we know that everything came to an abrupt halt when Adam and Eve disobeyed a simple instruction and instead brought sad and disturbing consequences on their offspring. Genesis 3:1-19, Romans 5:12

That doesn’t mean God abandoned his earlier purpose for mankind and the earth. Isaiah 55:10,11 (that’s why he sent his Son to the earth, but that’s a topic for another day).

The truth is that if everyone on earth listened to God’s commands as stated in the Bible, our problems would be 99% solved. Isaiah 48:17-18
If God was working directly with humans on how to properly use these minerals on earth 100%, trust me there would be nothing like pollution and global warming. That’s why God has promised to put an end to those who are misusing the earth’s natural minerals/resources and who are ruining the environment in the course of greed. Revelation 11:18


The essence of my write-up is to put it to you that humans need guidance from God on how to live their lives and care for the environment, because it is not in us to direct our steps on our own. Jeremiah 10:23

grin let me patronize you even though I would have said your supposed Armageddon began since 2015 or thereabout, but you people were so dead that you did not feel it's effects until these past 2 years.

But for me and my household, we are fatter than we have ever been exactly as the God Said "the righteous are kept safe from all plagues and evil"

So without going into details my family is even shocked that I am faring much better than they who are abroad, and thus, they have altogether stopped pressing me to relocate.
