Omooba77: Some say he's giving em time to change from their wicked ways,but if they don't change then they die in their wickedness...Well,Satan grants prosperity also but it comes with a huge price that will suit only the wicked and mean in heart... Prosperity is of both ways,..Some prosper by grace,smart work,hard work, etc while some prosper via fetish things, sacrifices,deep occultic spiritual things,and devilment....(If there's a word like that though,lol). |

Devote more time to read Ecclestiastes. You won't ask this kinda qeustion again. But I guess no church really wants their member reading that part. It enlightens you and you realize life itself is folly and nothing matters. 1 Like |

Because is the most Gracious, most merciful and often forgiven. This world is not for the righteous but for sinners and the wicked. So they have to enjoy the temporal deceitful world. While they taste no rest in eternal hereafter. 1 Like |

There is nothing like a wicked person. The person we usually term as being wicked is someone who God has a lot to teach us them. |

Freedom of Choice or grace. Over the years I have heard this statement by some people "God gives an evil person enough time and grace to repent from their evil ways, and that is why they live longer than good people". I laugh God did not give an evil person the grace to repent, it is freedom of choice that was given. While grace is an underserved favor and unlimited assistance from God; freedom of choice is someone's autonomy to perform any action at all, usually chosen from two available options which is GOOD and BAD, unconstrained by external parties. So, man has the freedom to live the kind of life he/she chose to. The death of Christ on the cross brought many things with it; salvation, grace, freedom of choice, transformation etc... Grace only made it possible that God will not strike an evil person dead when they commit evil, like in the days B.C, because of the death of Christ. But we are reminded in Hebrews 9:27 that we All, both good and bad people, have an appointment with death and afterwards comes judgment. Even if grace was given for an evil person to live longer and repent, that is not an excuse to continue living in sin and committing evil, because - AT THE END OF THE RACE, THE MILES MUST BE COUNTED.

Omooba77:King Saul was not a wicked man, he wasn't evil. His only problem was he couldn't accept the fact that God chose another person David to be King instead of one of his own children, especially Jonathan. Other than that, Saul was a good person. Yes he made some mistakes like disobeying God's instructions of wiping out some nations, and consulting with necromancers to speak to the dead which is forbidden in Judaism, but Saul was not evil. 1 Like |

The grace is sufficient for all. Provided you abide with the basic principles of life and follow through the blessings are assured. It's not dependent on your doctrine, or religion. |

There are laws governing the universe. Wicked and prosperity have different laws. Being creative, a giver, wealth conscious can lead to prosperity. Any man that thinks in such direction becomes prosperous whether he is good or not. On the other hand, wickedness has its own universal law. Something that seems like wickedness to Mr A, may be something worth sharing testimony to the glory of God to Mr B. Who is the judge? For example some religion behead people in the name of God. Even in the old testament in the Bible wars were waged against kingdoms who were considered non worshippers of Jehovah. And worshippers of Jehovah shouted to it as victory to God. While to the victims, these people are barbaric and probably terrible people. If you pause for a while and think, you'll understand that there's nothing as good or bad but thinking makes it so. 2 Likes |

Omooba77: Saul that was annointed by God? Saul only depart from the ways of the lord and the lord too depart from him. Considering the post, either be good or be evil and live long or mix both and your life be shorten. David was a man behind God's heart but by continuing doing bad despite know how to please God, his kingdom was shorten and devided. It pays to be good and pays to be evil depending who your are in his eye. |
