hopefulLandlord:.....for me I am not against prayer..me too I also pray...but when it comes to development of a country prayers alone cannot do much without applying work or good goverance..it's just like a bad road and you pray to God for this bad road to be rehabilitated and constructedd and done.... after the prayers will God come down from heaven and construct the bad road for you?....it's the still the government or people that will still have to rehabilitate and construct the bad road to be good and good for people to use..that is the work and good goverance I am talking about..God will not come down from heaven and rehabilitate and construct the road after you have prayed to God about the bad road 2 Likes 1 Share |

waice6571:1. In Nigeria(and many other 3rd world countries), we didn't have covid impact on us. Why? First things first, the life expectancy in Nigeria is 50 years or so. In Italy, its 82, US its 77 and China 78. What it means is they generally outlive us, with better quality of life, because of better healthcare, food, air etc. So they have a higher percentage of elderly folks. And since they have better healthcare, old folks with debilitating diseases like heart, liver and kidney failures live longer. In Nigeria, most of these folks are already dead due to relatively poorer healthcare system. Now what covid did was wipe out all these elderly folks in these countries because those diseases reduce immunity. Since the population here is relatively young, the impact of covid was lessened. Old folks died for sure, but we didn't have the numbers we had like Italy had. Remember italy was severely ravaged then, but their young folks were still there, playing Serie A and shouting in the stadia. Worse still, they had hospices and old people's home where old folks are kept, so it was easy for covid to clear old folks. The vaxxes did a job of helping the morbidity and mortality, but the virus started mutating and its variants are tormenting Chinese senior citizens . Covid never went away, bro. It just mutated/evolved to a more virulent strain. Back then we had Delta, before it mutated to Alpha and Omicron. And the more mutations it undergoes, the less virulent it is. So that means less troublesome symptoms like cough, breathlessness. But the drawback is it spreads easier now. Everyone now has it. Many have multiple infections in a month but the more infections the less troublesome the symptoms are(if it is the same strain). Remember December 2021 people had catarrh and other respiratory symptoms which they attributed to the weather. That was the start of Omicron in Nigeria. So next time people say BS, try and research and come to your own conclusion, and reduce our IPSI levels. 2. Its funny you are twisting what the bible said so it would be out of the line of fire. Your bible clearly said Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened Matthew 7:7-8 I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it shall be done for him. Therefore I tell you, all that you ask for in prayer, believe that you will receive it and it shall be yours. (Mark 11:24-25) And whatever you ask in my name, I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything of me in my name, I will do it. (John 14:13-14) (Matthew 17:20 For truly, I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you. Not only that it literally said the above, your pastors and members also say the same thing. So wtf are you yammering about? 3. You said Pray and Work is the correct order, right? What about Work and no Pray? Do you think it yields results? |

waice6571:You can have a turnaround without prayers. Happened to me severally when my wallet was hacked with 6m worth of crypto stolen and a platform I was using rug pulled. Just like people in countries like UK, Netherlands who don't pray, I just manned up and took control of my life. I never prayed to any imaginary sky daddy. Same with when my pops died. You don't need prayers. Its useless |

jaephoenix:May be it was long time ago but not up to that % this day. A look at the just concluded presidential election is enough to clear anyone's doubt. APC prensented Muslim-Muslim ticket and came first. PDP presented another Muslim who came second. LP with a Christian candidate and all the campaign to get most of the Christians votes for him landed him third position. Muslims marry more than one wife, Christians preach against multiple wives. Muslims marry early while Christians marry late. |

jaephoenix: What exactly do you think Prayer or Praying is about?!! Do you actually think or believe praying is solely about making requests or seeking favors?!! Praying is an act of communing with Divine or Supernatural beings... Making demands or requests is just one aspect of praying. Asking people to pray without ceasing is not the same as telling them to "solely make requests" without ceasing... It is simply teaching and commending them to stay in communication with their creator or Divine Father. If people choose to pray without working, that is a function of their personal philosophy of indolence. Maybe you should research further, and see that there is somewhere in the Bible where people are warned against praying amiss and told to eschew vain repetitions. You see... Contrary to your thinking, true religion doesn't encourage mental and physical laziness. |

wirinet: Let's pretend that the insult is not there...! Please, answer his question... Prior to colonialism and neocolonialism, were our ancestors Atheists?!! It's a very good question... Blaming every issue in poor and underdeveloped nations on religion kinda borders on close-ended and narrow reasoning. |

Angelfrost:I cannot forget the insults is not there. I have been on this forum for a very long time and I have had serious differences of opinions with lots of people including the owner seun, I have never been personally insulted. I don't want to go down that path of trading insults with anonymous people on line due to differences of opinion, so kindly ignore my posts and I will ignore yours. I am sure there are plenty others that will enjoy trading insults with you. |

wirinet: But I didn't insult you... I am not the person who quoted you there. I'm merely interested in the earlier part of the post which is a good discussion and teachable point. I agree with you about the aspect of people using insults... It's just a shame. I have had my fair share of insults. Honestly, I have lost count... Right now, I think I have grown a thick skin for it. |

Without the prayers, with the current level of insecurity and mindless looting of the treasury, Nigeria would have been wiped off the surface of the earth. It's the prayers that has sustained her. Nigeria is akin to a woman, striped of her clothes and dignity and tied to a stake, with randy men taking turns to rape her. Tell me how such a woman will survive. |
