Amid Nigeria's economic downturn and the challenges posed by high inflation, it is natural for Nigerians to experience financial worries and uncertainties. However, as believers, we have a unique source of solace and strength in our faith in God. By understanding how to find peace and rest in God's grace, we can navigate these financial struggles with renewed hope and confidence.

In what ways as Christians do you think that we can achieve this?

■ Jesus Christ did not come that you may carry on better in this life with the economic downturns and challenges posed by high inflation.
■ Jesus Christ did not come that you may become financially well off and your businesses might thrive better than those of the competition.
■ Jesus Christ did not come that you might become rich and amass treasures in this life in competition with others in the world
■ Faith in Jesus Christ is not meant to provide you solace and peace as you continue to maneuver the world and the competition
....
Jesus Christ did not come to do any of that. Rather, He came to call you away from all of that into a life of servitude to God. He came to call you to abandon it all — property, jobs/career/ businesses, cars, houses, family, prestige, etc. — in order to have the life He has instead for you. So, if you are still worried about economic downturns, and challenges posed by high inflation, then you have yet to meet Jesus Christ.

The problem with that is this. Jesus Christ said that to those who are born-again, He alone is supposed to be their only Teacher, Guide, Counselor, minister, Shepherd, Helper, etc. He warned them saying they cannot have two masters meaning they cannot have Him and another as Teacher, counselor, helper, or shepherd, etc — either you love the one and hate the other or you accept the teachings of the one and reject the teachings of the other. So, when you say you are "studying" with others, you are basically rejecting Jesus Christ as your only Teacher to instead embrace the views and opinions of others as being more valid?

Why any of this? When you can instead have Jesus Christ individually as you one and only Teacher and guide through it all?

Do you desire Jesus Christ at all or is it the yearning to belong to a group that is more important here?

Jesus is the primary and sole teacher in Matthew 18 vs 19-20 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
Again I encourage you to come and join our session at 8pm, Today

Happiness doesn't come from how much you have but a secret thing of the heart!

Many are wealthy and they can afford whatever they want but inwardly they're not happy because they keep thinking of the day they will leave everything they accumulated and return to Mr or Mrs Nothing lying there in their grave alone! 1Timothy 6:7

So the happiness that's inwardly depends on the assured expectation of what is hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities that are not seen! Hebrews 11:1

The same God plays the same exact "significant" role in the lives of the unrighteous folks out there who don't even subscribe to or believe in him; yes, the same exactly mercies/kindness he shows you is the same he shows even to the atheists, the Islamic, the witches, pagans, etc., out there. Just as you count your own blessings, they too count their own blessings without attributing it to him and they are not damned for it. So what particularly convinces your lives lived under what seems religious chains are any better than theirs?.

I am not understanding why you feel they need to be discussed in these sessions of yours as if the input from individuals should matter.
