Good morning good people,

I am planning of selling my Toyota Corrola 2009 to buy either of these options: Honda CRv 2008, Toyota Highlander 2007, Toyota RAV4.

Please what can you advise me with my options

The current economic situation, the scarcity of naira and the political conflict in Nigeria, is it the will of God?
Can we say God permitted it to happen or is it man made?
Is the devil at work, or has God forsaken the country? What's your take on this?
Hello Nairalandera!

GoodIsGod:
It's good to want to know what you don't know. There is nothing bad in that but there is a more important thing to know. Where you are going to be after life.
I think that is more important.

Don't worry about your past. Worry about the present and the future.

Remain Blessed

Perhaps you can help with the resolution of these 2 bible passages. Lest you are unawares worshipping Satan.


1 Chronicles 21
1Then Satan stood against Israel and incited David to number Israel. 2So David said to Joab and the commanders of the army, “Go, number Israel, from Beersheba to Dan, and bring me a report, that I may know their number.”

2 Samuel 24
1Again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he incited David against them, saying, “Go, number Israel and Judah.” 2So the king said to Joab, the commander of the army,a who was with him, “Go through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan to Beersheba, and number the people, that I may know the number of the people.”

GoodIsGod:
They never lived in heaven. The only people who lived in heaven with God were the Angels and Christ. Every other being including you and me lived in the mind of the living God.
Like I said earlier, there is a limit to what the mind of man can understand. So, it doesn't really make sense wanting to know everything about the spiritual.

Live your life obeying the laws of God Jehovah by believing in His Son Jesus Christ. Forget about wanting to know everything because you really can't. No one can.
Just be fine with the little you are allowed to know.

GoodIsGod:
They existed in the mind and the plan of God. It was as good as they existed physically.

It is not everything spiritual that is explainable and fathomable by the mind of man. So wanting to know everything about the spiritual is a fruitless effort. We can only know the little our minds can understand. So, why worry yourself?

The few men and women that the Angels predicted their coming and mission should be enough proof bro.

Samson, John the Baptist, Samuel just to mention a few. Their coming was announced and what they were coming to do.
The fact that there was no prediction about you and me doesn't mean we never existed in God's mind.
We were as good as created before were were born.
God was aware we were coming. He created us for a purpose and it's left for us to choose to follow Him or not.

Samson for example was fortold that he was going to deliver his people from their enemies and he did before deviating from the precepts of God and suffer the consequence.
Slawormiiiir was not destined to be a bomber when he was created but he chose to be who he is today by himself. But God knew he was coming to the world like God knew Samson was coming.

GoodIsGod:
Everyone is a pilgrim and strangers on the earth.
You should know the Bible speaks poetically most times and this is why we have different interpretations of biblical verses from church to church, sect to sect and pastor to pastor. This is why there are lots of heresies preach in the name of Jesus today.

That aside, there is no living soul on earth that God is not aware of their coming into the world. No one.

Jeremiah 1:5 (KJV) Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

So your journey as a human did not start from your mother's womb. It started in the spiritual.
Right in the mind of God.

So when you were born you have existed before then and you are still going to leave that body ( the flesh) when you die. So, poetically you are like a pilgrim on a journey. From the spiritual to the physical and from the physical back to the spiritual.

The spiritual must happen either in two ways. Living with the one who formed you in your mother's womb for ever for accepting Jesus or live with the Devil for ever due to your wrong decision of denying Jesus on earth.

sonmvayina:
The context is the earth...

Not different places on earth..
They are on pilgrimage to earth...meaning they came from somewhere other than earth....

Maybe Jupiter..

tctrills:
Paul was not saying that the whole world of unrighteous people were likened to a 'foreign land' among whom the people of God were like 'pilgrims' or 'strangers' because their lifestyle was not accepted by the people they lived with, thus came the persecutions they faced.
He was not even talking about the unrighteous world in that verse. Nothing shows he was alluding to the unrighteous world.

sonmvayina:
Your missing the context..

tctrills:
Verse 8 and 9 did not mention the earth so there is no context there. Now verse 38 did not only call them strangers, it also called them pilgrims. There is a difference.
A pilgrim would always return back home after his pilgrimage. Abraham and his wife were not looking to return back to their father's land so it could not have been referring to where they came from.

tctrills:
13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

It clearly states stangers and pilgrims on the earth. Not from a different part of the earth

tctrills:
Life is not forever has no bearing with being a stranger or pilgrim. How does that even relate?
A pilgrim is someone who comes from another country mostly for a religion purpose.
