■ God does not owe you anything, but he has giving you hands and legs plus brain to think, God will have mercy on whom he chooses to have mercy upon , you cannot put God under pressure.

Read the bible and ask him to direct your thoughts.... Peace be unto you.

There is no truth to that at all.

God owes all those who abide in Him--- the righteous--- every promise He made to them. It is the unrighteous that He said He owes nothing to. Unrighteous, the reason God gave for why He answers none of the prayers of those who do not abide in absolute obedience to Him.

efeteb:
God still answers prayers. God has principles he follows. God is not moved by tears, but he obeys his principles. Check yourself very well and tell yourself the truth. Being religious does not move God rather what moves him is obedience to his word.

Also check the alter of the person praying for you when you where shouting amen.

Saying so much yet saying absolutely nothing... the religious scam. God said He does not answer the prayers or the unrighteous; it is that simple.

vastolord4:
Patience and Action kills the bird.. continue with prayers, and also have a clear heart. Don't pray like a bishop and act like a demon! Help people with the little you have, have a clear judgment and never be biased! Say something and mean it cos God doesn't like people without a firm though and decision.. expect you want to worship another god who gifts according to what you can offer. Happy sunday

Many people die with their prayers on their tongue and are never saved. Patience means nothing to God if wielded by an unrighteous.

wanimo:
That you are alive is an answered prayers. That you have a phone with data is an answered prayer.
That you are healthy and able to post on this bigoted platform called Nairaland is an answered prayer.

God answers prayers that he knows is best for you. You pray according to God's will not according to your wishes. You are by far better than the shaky shaky Baba druggie whose desperation for power is about making him plunge Nigeria and the ECOWAS region into a proxy war

That is a huge lie. The reason you are alive has simply to do with the fact that death has yet to come for you. From the point of your conception you also began dying so death is inevitable, thanks to God - Genesis 3 vs 19 - 24. The same applies also to unbelievers who do not pray

Klington:
:oThis is actually a million dollars question?
Maybe we're not praying aright just like this school owner.

It is a million dollar question at all. God does not answer the prayers of the unrighteous; that has been known for 1000s of years. But people rather choose to believe God has changed His mind to placate themselves in the ignorance.

DCmaverick:
I've been going to church year after year, month after month, week after week and day after day but it seems all the prophetic declerations and AMENS i've been shouting is nt working. What is wrong lord? Where am i getting it wrong?
what must i do?

You are absolutely right to say that none of your prayers are being answered and this reason is that God never changes His mind.

You see, Scripture states that God does not answer the prayers of the unrighteous; the pleas and requests and every petition, praise, offering, work, plea, sacrifice, etc., of the unrighteous are tainted by their sins(disobedience/unholiness) and are hence an abomination to God. So, what is definite is that even your many pleas for the forgiveness of sins are not answered by God given that God made no special exemptions for that kind of plea. No amount of praying can cause God to change His mind regarding that which concerns the unrighteous by the way. So if you are thinking of prescribing more prayers that only means you really don't understand or know God at all.

God, however, openly bragged about how He only answers the prayers of the righteous; He delights in granting them the desires of their heart meaning that they are those who he loves. For this very reason, Jesus Christ urged His followers to seek first the Kingdom of God and God's Righteousness in order that all things— the blessings and rewards of the Kingdom of God(holiness), answers to prayers included—shall be added on to them. And as Jesus Christ explained in His Gospel, the only way to become Holy, and then also Righteous, is by way of continuous submission and obedience to the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ, god's Truth and Law in the Kingdom of god - John 8 vs 31 - 36 & John 14 vs 15 - 23. Jesus Christ is the only way. Obedience to the Truth of God is the one and only path to righteousness. No amount of praying and other religious rituals can accomplish that.

God deals indirectly with the unrighteous, the same way He deals with the unbelievers including the wicked and the ungrateful and that is by pouring out His mercy and kindness on them daily. So every time as an unrighteous you feel that God has answered your prayer know that at that same moment, or moments before that, God also provided the same mercy or similar to someone else across the world — or maybe just across from you— who does not even believe in God, nor asked God for anything. So, if answers from God are what you seek, then do what Jesus Christ said you should, which is to seek first the Kingdom of God(holiness), and then God's righteousness, in order that all these things —the blessings and rewards of the Kingdom of God(including answers to prayers) can be added to you.

So, what you need to do, is begin now, seeking first the Kingdom of God(Holiness) and then God's Righteousness ... do not confuse these in any way with religious rituals as God is far away away the religious.

■ Why should he follow them? Of what use is the errand then? The OP is talking about the age, not about the rest you listed. At least 10 is okay outside the house.

Who asked you to follow them? OP asked if a 7-year old is to old to begin core social intelligence training and I showed that a 7-year-old just learning how to be street-wise is late in the game compared to his peers.

It’s just like the process of a new-born learning how to walk.

■ You show Japanese society where kidnapping and even crime in general is so low that the police do not have enough to do?
This isn't Japan. Kidnapping and ritual killings are common place here.
In the Scandinavian countries, mothers leave their babies in cots outside when they enter saloons to do their hair.
These are safe countries. I know you meant well. Nigeria is still too dangerous. When a kid is 8 or 9, sending him on errands should be okay.

If you have access to Netflix, I suggest you binge-watch the two seasons of the show called Old Enough, a Japanese show that features children much younger than your kids being sent out on errands.

If you are scared for their safety, then I would suggest you instead follow them from a couple of steps away to guard the kids from afar when they are out on such errands. I don't think you should stop them.

if fear of insecurity stops you from raising a child with healthy social intelligence why not also let it stop you from having a child altogether?

Japan is different from Nigeria, I wont personally send a child of that age on any errand outside the home. Even my daughter of 10years wont still go beyond 2 poles on her own.

aQUINandmore:
it's not reasonable to compare the Japanese society to ours, aside the fact that Japan have the culture of teaching their kids on self reliance, japanese kids cook their school meals themselves and self themselves too, they learn to clean and do many other things at a very young age and that's their culture and way of life.
how would you compare a Japanese society where an 80 years old has never experience theft, pick pocket or kidnapping once to nigeria where skull mining, kidnapping and other vices are normal daily occurrences

is Nigeria safe like Japan, are kids being grabbed off the streets and sold off or used for rituals in Japan like it’s done in NAIJA, make some of ina Dey realistic for once
Even as adult was kidnapped or hypnotized in this Nigerian on her way to a job interview in her state, Wetin come be 7yo boy
Op, you need to have a serious discussion with your wife on this issue and let her see the reason, better safe than sorry oo
Also the type of neighborhood you are in determine, so you definitely know better than many of these nairalander telling you it’s ok to send him out, na you born your pikin, if your not ok with it, na you know why, so no listen to them

If fear of insecurity will deprive you of raising a child with healthy social intelligence then why bother having a child in the first place in that environment?

Are you alright?

Again, I expectef someone to try to pull that verse out. So, tell us, what does the statement "Suffer not a witch to live," mean? And what that has to do with Jesus Christ who even refused to raise a stone against an adulterer caught in the act when confronted by the Pharisees and her accusers?

I see! So your wide is not a partner in your marriage but your slave to you? At least you admit the glaring truth many Nigerians refuse to cop to regarding their demand for submission from their women in marriage.

■ Whether it is finger or mouth or whatever they used to give head in a lesbian type relationship. When you are cheated on what do you say you were checked on with? I understand that of a heterosexual relationship. Why shouldn't I be ignorant of what goes on in a homosexual relationship, it means I am not insane. To know what goes on means I must have participated. I am so straight I eat my banana from the side.
■ Bottom line: if heterosexual marriage relationship which is what is sanctioned in Bible still has problems, can an unsanctioned one which is contrary now be without problems?
■ Also I have said that in marriage you need to be teachable, compromise when necessary, and objective.

1. You don't and that is buttressed by complaint which I initially responded to.

2. Stop mentioning things you know nothing of.

3. Are you teachable? Do you compromise when necessary? Are you objective? If yes, why did you complain so much then?,

■ Which one is rice cooker again...do u mean oven??(no oofencse)

No, just a rice cooker like the one in the picture. You put your rice and water in, plug it in and hit "cook". When it is done cooking the rice, it switches to "warm" mode and does not burn your rice even if you don't unplug it for the whole day..

It's better to be played by a city slut to than a local village slut. The latter will mess up ur psyche knowing she's of a far lesser class and still got u fuckedup. Village girl or city girls, doesn't really matter. Just make sure she's good and her excesses won't drive u insane in the long run

The general problem there is low social intelligence. It is the major reason why many city men even consider the village girl over the city girls they have become used to . The few among those city men intelligent enough to realize this and then put in the work to develop their social and emotional intelligence usually thank their stars they never made the mistake of actually going to find and bring a village girl to into their city life.

Fluency in English language may not be yardstick for you but that don't mean it is for the next man. Not everyone can stand having a mate.who doesn't at least speak the lingua franca in this day and age.

wrongman665:
village girls are more far better than the city ones. Nothing will make me marry a city girl.

low social intelligence ofcourse won't. But it also almost guarantees you won't be content with the village women either..

Quality20:
its not as there are no good girls in cites, but there are many gentle n cool guys who can't take the pain to know d good responsible city girls, so these gentle and siple ones could easily avoid d city n look towards d villages to avoid things that touch

So your advice to those low social intelligence gentle n cool guys is, rather than tackle the reason for their impatience, they should instead go court village girls? And if those same low social intelligence guys then complain about those village girls when they finally bring them over to the city, you will again send the guys back to the same village to go get a new batch of village girls abi?

Sometimes I suspect some folks are simply pre-programmed not to learn at all from the mistakes of others.
