wicked people live long in wicked countries but die quick in good countries. because in wicked countries evil angels are needed to teach people lessons. those wicked people especilly wicked leaders are evil angels. its not too many of them so they must live long to maximise their job description.

It baffles me too but the answer lies in Romans 9:15
..
For God said to Moses, “I will show mercy to anyone I choose, and I will show compassion to anyone I choose.” ...

Yet new borns, innocents etc die like cockroaches while wicked ones live long. But somehow that god is said to be just, only phools believe that nonsense

That's the reason they said god no be man

jesusjnr2020:
Ever since the fall of Man in the beginning, it became erroneous and somewhat ungodly to measure the success of a man by how long he lived or the worldly things and possessions he acquired on Earth.

The best yardstick of success is God's approval and respect.

For instance, wicked Cain lived longer than Abel, but Abel was more successful than Cain because he was accepted by God but Cain was rejected.

Enoch who walked with God was said to have lived a shorter life than those who live longer in his day, but he was more successful than them, because he was accepted by God but those who lived longer were rejected. It was even said that he was not because God took him.

Jesus lived a short life on Earth, yet He's the most successful man that ever lived.

As for riches or worldly possessions, the rich man was a monumental failure despite being rich, while the beggar Lazarus was a confirmed success despite being poor, because Lazarus was accepted by God while the rich man was rejected.

There's another rich man who God called "a fool", why, because he was rich but also a failure despite that he trusted in his riches, because he wasn't rich towards God.

Hence, Jesus warned us to beware of covetousness because the life of a man did not consist in the abundance of possessions he had. Luke 12:15

So the question itself is based on an erroneous assumption, because God sees things differently from the way the world or man sees them, so what you call prosperity and long life may be poverty and short life before God respectively.

God bless.

this is awesome. Happy Sunday

A fool says in his heart...

SAME REASON HE ALLOWS PASTORS TO STAY ANNOITED DESPITE THEM FVCKING ALL THE FEMALE MEMBERS INCLUDING MARRIED WOMEN AND UNDER AGED GIRLS IN HIS CHURCH.

Omooba77:
Why do God Allow Wicked Men to Prosper and live Long?
Example King Saul, Pharaoh, Mannaseh, the son of Hezekiah.

------------

But for the grace of GOD, there go we! Therefore, we "judge not" (Matthew 7:1), though we objectively consider.

The heart of all mankind is wicked since the fall in Eden and only GOD, by His grace - clothing a person in His righteousness makes one righteous - in and only through Himself in the Person of the Lord JESUS, The CHRIST... having done all the work to justify and thus save from damnation and destruction. “The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?" - Jeremiah 17:9

Yet know that the unsaved / "wicked" will continuously exhibit wickedness - "Therefore by their fruits you will know them." - Matthew 7:20

"Woe to the world because of offenses! For offenses must come, but woe to that man by whom the offense comes!" - Matthew 18:7

Those who belong to GOD sin less and grow in grace (John 1:16, 2 Timothy 2:1)

Ultimately, GOD is the Judge and Justifier of men!


The Tragedy of the Wicked, and the Blessedness of Trust in God - Psalm 73:1-20
A Psalm of Asaph.
73 Truly God is good to Israel,
To such as are pure in heart.
2 But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled;
My steps had nearly slipped.
3 For I was envious of the boastful,
When I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

4 For there are no pangs in their death,
But their strength is firm.
5 They are not in trouble as other men,
Nor are they plagued like other men.
6 Therefore pride serves as their necklace;
Violence covers them like a garment.
7 Their eyes bulge with abundance;
They have more than heart could wish.
8 They scoff and speak wickedly concerning oppression;
They speak loftily.
9 They set their mouth against the heavens,
And their tongue walks through the earth.

10 Therefore his people return here,
And waters of a full cup are drained by them.
11 And they say, “How does God know?
And is there knowledge in the Most High?”
12 Behold, these are the ungodly,
Who are always at ease;
They increase in riches.
13 Surely I have cleansed my heart in vain,
And washed my hands in innocence.
14 For all day long I have been plagued,
And chastened every morning.

15 If I had said, “I will speak thus,”
Behold, I would have been untrue to the generation of Your children.
16 When I thought how to understand this,
It was too painful for me—
17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God;
Then I understood their end.

18 Surely You set them in slippery places;
You cast them down to destruction.
19 Oh, how they are brought to desolation, as in a moment!
They are utterly consumed with terrors.
20 As a dream when one awakes,
So, Lord, when You awake,
You shall despise their image.

Perhaps what they told you about God is �% lies�

Perhaps he wants to give them enough time to turn from their evil ways.

Grace of God is sufficient for everyone, God shows his mercy to all because his way is not the way of men.

I use God to do my business. I can decide to sell or not to sell by using God. Just one testimony.....

God exists my brother

Because God does not exist.

Also, 99.999% of prayers by 'GOOD PEOPLE' are not answered.

I guess the 1200 years of Trans-saharan and the 400 years of Trans-Atlantic slavery was our fault then... Thanks for enlightening me

Of course it your faults...you didn't make guns,didn't make warships ,gun powder and you were very very divided as tribes making you easy targets.

You are getting things mixed up
Living longer and becoming more successful are two different things
There are people that are very wicked and more successful and there are still living life, and there are very kind people that are now dead and not rich or successful.what can you say about that
My brother forget sentiment.When your time don reach,e don reach be that,And no force or miracle can stop it

KingDash:
God don't exist

If you are saying God don't exist,then what brought the existence of human in the first place

If you are all close to or understand your traditional knowledge, this life wouldn't be a riddle. According to the Yoruba cosmology and Ifa, every human has Ori or Eleda (human essence). Before each person embarked on the "journey" into existence, there are things he/she has agreed with his/her Ori to achieve in life but we all forget all these things once we are born. We often call this destiny or fate. So, a wicked or evil person who has been destined to be rich or to prosper will be because that has been written into his/her life. But also this individual will still have to face karma in this life or another cycle of life. So, let us not wonder when the wicked prosper and neither should one envy them.

The good one equally prosper and live long.The bad one equally die poorly.
The world is filled up with ups and down.
We all must taste DEATH just one day.
But the question is how do U relate with God?
How do U relate with people?
Your spirituality matters a lot,it remains the gateway to your eternity which is far better than your earthly and material achievement.
