Lol
Do I have to keep on quoting your buybull for you?
Righteousness exalteth a nation, not hard work. This is according to your Bible. Not me. So unless you feel your bible is lying, you guys have nothing to say
.. righteousness exalt eth a nation.... nowadays how many people are righteous...how many country or nation have many people that are righteous... As the devil is in this Earth and still operating and making people to backslide and commit sins we will not have much righteous people...rlook at the world now we have a lot of sinners and evils going on in the world and countries...so how do you expect a nation to be exalted when they are lot of sinners in that country, nation , the government, politcians are sinners ,hardly to see a righteous person nowadays in many countries.....so because of sins , sinners and evils in many countries countries cannot be exalted...so the government and people have to work to develop the country and make it better due to no much of righteous people and righteousness...so because of what Adam and Eve did in the garden of Eden and sinned and disobeyed God...it annoyed God and God and told Adam before you will eat you will till the ground and farm to get food to eat.. that is too work to eat..he told eve that you will feel pains when you want to give birth to children... In the first place when God created the earth God did not want people to work while in the earth...but because of what Adam and Eve did in the garden of Eden and sinned and disobeyed God...this made people to start to work to eat and earn a living...the earth would had been a paradise a place where people would not need to work hard and hustle if Adam and Eve did not disobey ..God and people would not had work to eat.. and they would had been no evil and sin in the earth...

Don't worry.
By the time we start borrowing from IMF and repaying at 150% of our GDP, and the Asians FULLY colonise many parts of Nigeria, you will see explosion of suicide.

Just dey wait.
Keep on praying o.
You've been praying enmasse since 1970s, yet it has gone from bad to worse. Keep praying o.
Pentecostal movement ( CIA FUNDED) took storm from the 80s, yet Nigeria is now arguable the country with the highest no of poverty stricken, hopeless citizens in the world. Thanks to IMF/ world Bank and the house nieggers.

Keep on praying o.

And who says the purpose of prayer is to make you or your nation rich??

This is obviously one of the many deceits of the devil: to make you believe that God and His kingdom is about earthly/worldly inheritance. Satan rules and controls the earth. So if earthly treasures are your metrics for measuring God's faithfulness, then you are the most delud..ed person ever liveth.

If your purpose in life and afterlife is to have money, please draw closer to Satan. Your chances are higher with him. It only takes invading a few countries, enslaving the people, and stealing their gold and other resources.

Lol is that you can say.

You think righteousness is just about being gay or not gay? πŸ˜„πŸ˜„πŸ˜„πŸ˜„.

These are nations that look after their poor, upholds transparency, ensures justice is done, and fights for freewill. I would rather be tried by a gay judge that has a conscience, than an idiotic dogmatic religious non-gay clown Judge without a conscience sold to the highest bidder.

How will a nation grow when Justice is for sale?

Then answer the question, is Nigeria a righteous nation? If not why, inspite of having the highest number of churches and mosques in the world, inspite of being the second most prayerful nation in the world.

Why are we then highly religious but at the same time highly unrighteousness? We have become do loathed that no country wants to let a nigerian into their soil.
Like Jesus said to the Pharisees:

"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices--mint, dill and cummin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law--justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former"

Righteousness is not prayer.

You confirmed what I said.
Those countries are not godly (spiritual) but they are materially blessed. (Rich and developed).

Most of them started well with God and when God blessed them they forgot God.

They may be financially better than Nigeria but the spiritual challenges they are battling with are nit funny. That's why they have so much issues of LGBTQ,, self love, all forms of vices that provoke God to destroy nations.

When one encounters Christ, there will always be a difference. The old person/nature must be continually
destroyed. That process is not usually easy or timed.
That's the kind of transition Nigeria is presently experiencing.
I pray when God lifts us up, we won't forget God. We will continue to God for the rest of our lives in Jesus name. Amen
1. You're further indicting yourself and your god by saying those countries forgot god after he blessed them. Are you saying your god isn't all-knowing, thus he didn't know those nations would 'rebel'?
2. Name the spiritual challenges those countries face
3. LGBTQ has been around for years. And its not a problem. Can you tell me why 2 consenting adults fucking each other causes problems to the society or nation?
4. Can you expatiate more on this transition Nigeria is experiencing?

Prayer, worship, dancing and other religious activities also flood the brain with dopamine. That's why Prayer and religious activities can be addictive, sometimes more addictive than drugs. That's why Karl marx said "religion is the opium of the people". You cannot diffentiate between people addicted to religion and people addicted to opium.
Maybe praise causes dopamine rush, but prayers? I don't think so. During prayers, a different hormone and neurotransmitter is predominant

God hates such set of people... after prayers he wants God to come and perform magic to give him money and food to eat that is a lazy man...and God sees such a man as a lazy man...the Bible says I will bless the hands of your labour, your work
Also according to that same bible

This is getting funnier grin

Who gave Satan his omnipotent, omniscient etc powers? Yahweh!
Who created Eden and the tree of knowledge and planted it right in the middle of the garden(not even at the outskirts where it would be out of sight of Adam and Eve) and made it have luscious fruits? Yahweh!
Do you now understand your all loving god wanted Adam fvcked from the get-go?
So lets from go to genesis.
So Yahweh created the whole world, right?
There's Eden. He then made a tree of knowledge, and guess what? Planted it right in the middle of the garden. Yahweh knew Adam was gonna fail but planted this forbidden tree right in the middle of the garden with luscious fruits, to distract and tempt Adam. Gave him a partner that would make the temptation very hard to pass up. Then to make matters worse, he allowed Satan(an omnipresent and omnipotent being) to finish the job of tempting Adam? Then when man fails, he turns around to blame him of making the wrong choice? And then went ahead to rain curses in the poor dude.
Are you seeing how Yahweh stacked up the odds against poor Adam. Almost as if he wants the dude to fail.

Here is an analogy. You(yahweh) sent your son(Adam) to school(garden of eden) and paid a bully(Satan) to distract and beat the child, so he'll fail in school? I used the word 'paid' because he Satan is an upgraded being, having those powers handed to him by Yahweh. Whats his target? A puny Adam, a regular mortal with no powers whatsoever

1. Again, (like most Christians) you completely deviated from the point. Lemme repeat. According to you, Yahweh blessed those countries when they were worshipping him but they eventually stopped doing it. Does it mean Yahweh didn’t know they would rebel? Also is Yahweh still blessing them currently?

2. Really? Non religious people depend on drugs for joy? I’m aware they use drugs but some of those countries don't use as much drugs as Nigerians. Are you aware Nigerians use recreation drugs too? Is it atheists that use crystal meth(meth) in Nigeria?
Where is your stats that back your claim? Or are you those that get their knowledge from their pastors?

3. Obviously some people dont give diving fvcks about divine order. Neither do i. What is the advantage of heeding this divine order?

1. Corrections, Yahweh didn’t give Nigeria oil. Its a natural resource which many other irreligious countries received.
2. Part of the prayers people pray is for Yahweh to change the leaders mind so these oil dollars get to them. But guess what? Yahweh has ignored that part of the prayers. He doesn't just give a praying fvck about where the money goes.
3. How exactly does Yahweh punish those corrupt politicians/leaders? grin
Last I check, they live in big mansions, drive the exotic cars, get the best women, have kids schooling abroad, have access to best healthcare etc
