The man of God is right. My uncle, a fervent and devoted christian developed serious health challenges as a result of constant fasting which continue to deteriorate his health. What started as ulcer transmogrified to other serious health challenges. I pray to God to show him mercy and heal him. |

Porksupplyib:Good question. Evil people could allow you to get to a point in life and wait for you with close monitoring until when you get to a point where your efforts of many years would start to pay off and truncate it. Most of the problems we all have or face in life can be traced to our backgrounds while some were caused by us cos of either our negligence or naivety. That's human nature. There are several of such examples in the bible and in our generation too. There are many first class graduates today who are roaming the streets. It's not ordinary my brother. I attended one interview years back, during which we were discussing generally as applicants...we were just rubbing minds together. One guy said people get employed every day despite how though it has always been in the Labour market and without even influencing it. That's why we should pray always |

Eriokanmi:l agree with your post, Your background, family-Line, Familytree, family root, Foundation and Ancestral lineage must be addressed properly via Foundational cleansing Prayers, skeptics, will disagree but the Truth is this, the strength of a building lies in it's FOUNDATION, Your background and Faulty family Tree plays alot of role on how far the building (your life) will stand or crumble 1 Like |

jesusjnr2020:/ Peter and Andrew lived thousands of years ago. So don't justify your laziness with their lifestyles. The citizens of the great and progressive countries in the world do not waste their time praying and fasting for divine Providence. They work. They are the ones actually supporting the prayerful nations like Nigeria littered with unproductive prayer warriors. / |

Kobojunkie:Mr atheist, I hail you. I never expected anything different though. People who don't expect any favour or gains by any means and from anybody, but taking their time to make such true-life expressions can't be said to be lying. You'd undestand how far your ignorance had led you someday. I can only pray for lost souls like you cos your atrocities never reaches one-quarter of Paul's yet, he was saved. So I won't condemn you. 1 Like |

Eriokanmi:I am not an atheist. Rather, I am not gullible enough to swallow the tales you lot like to spew. 2. Pray for lost souls? God said He does not answer the prayers of the unrighteous; the prayers , praises,offerings, vows, seeds, good works, etc., of the unrighteous are made filthy by their sins and hence never reach God. So what good are your so-called prayers for "lost souls" when you are just as removed as they are from God? |

jesusjnr2020:Peter & Andrew might have toiled trying to catch fishes as fishermen, when Jesus came to the scene, he gave them the direction to which they should cast their net, they did and harvested bountifully. They had handiwork which Jesus could give them direction on. God says " I will bless the works of your hand". If one doesn't have a work or be hardworking in whatever he's doing, what then will God bless? |
Re: You Can Be Fasting And Be Prayerful & Still Die Of Hunger - Rev. Mike Okoh by jesusjnr2020(m): 1:17pm On Jul 16, 2023 |
Agoziemoses:Wrong! God blesses the work of your obedience. If they didn't obey Jesus despite their hardwork, they wouldn't have been received that blessing from God. |
Re: You Can Be Fasting And Be Prayerful & Still Die Of Hunger - Rev. Mike Okoh by jesusjnr2020(m): 1:24pm On Jul 16, 2023 |
Raph82:Do not confuse God for man. Hardwork means nothing to God if you're not obedient to His Word. God didn't intend for man to work hard but to obey His Word. Hard work only came from disobedience in the beginning. So stop speaking as though God cares about working hard as men do. Men love to work hard but hate to obey God's Word. |

InvertedHammer:Trust me, I work harder than you so if I'm lazy then you're more than lazy. The western world you speak of hate working hard so much they relied on getting slaves to do their hard work for them. So stop deceiving yourselves thinking they work harder than African who they used as slaves to do their hardwork including Nigerians. |

jesusjnr2020:While you obey his injunctions, you must be diligent in whatever you do too. God himself did hard work when he created the world and everything in it, including man (he got his hands dirty big time in molding man from the dust), he worked so hard to accomplish the work in no time, and he rested on the seventh day, can't you see that was a hard work taken by God himself? U can't hide under obedience to dodge hard work or diligence. God does not condone laziness in his kingdom. |

Nsogbu001:I don't understand? Why would a church put a flat screen behind the pastor? If I can't see the pastor in front of me, how would I see the thing on the flatscreen that's behind the pastor. People that pray and fast also have handiwork, some pray to get handiwork, it's good to do one without leaving the other. |

Raph82:Calling things into existence aside moulding man from clay is not exactly what you would call hard work, but even if you choose to disagree, you can't deny the fact that God didn't intend for man to work hard to feed, if not He wouldn't have made man to freely eat of any fruit He made. God only required obedience from man, but guess what, man chose hardwork through disobedience, that's why he has to work hard to feed which wasn't the original plan of God for man. So as I said earlier, do not confuse God for man, because man loves hardwork but hates obedience of God's Word which is all God requires from man. Not surprised though if you value hard work so much because you're also man yourself, but i value the obedience of God's Word over hard work just as God does. |

Kobojunkie:You don't sound like someone who's a believer of Christ and that makes you either an atheist or a non-Christian. I've read lots of your reactions to several reasonable opinions and posts , including those confirmed and backed by the biblical words and teachings, which you have kicked against here in NL. Only atheists and non-Christians would behave that way. You could be either of these or both. People don't have to start swearing by their lives before you'd believe any story just because it didn't happen in your presence or it's got no match as your faith or reasoning. Those bible teachings you've attacked here in the past made you more of a non-believer. But God knows how to handle people like you, not me, not any human. Bye |

According to Rev. Mike Okoh, prayers are good, fellowships are good but all these things without handiwork is a waste. Stop wasting your time in the church praying and fasting without engaging in any handiwork. It doesn't work that way. You don't expect God to fall down from heaven and help you when you are not doing something meaningful. Finally, it is good to see a pastor who can deliver a true message to his followers. It's actually a breath of fresh air to see this because oftentimes, these pastors and so-called men of GOD thrive in lies and deception to rob and steal from their followers. They live a very opulent lifestyle while most of their followers don't even know where their next meal would come from, It boggles the mind to even think that some people would believe the lies that come out of their mouths. How can any person with any brain cells believe that he could fast and pray all day while doing nothing else and expect to sustain his life? Even the Bible that these preachers read and supposedly preach from tells us in 2 Thessalonians chapter 3:10, "If a man will not work, he shall not eat." So, how then can these deceivers and liars from the pit of HELL with a straight be encouraging their followers to sit in church all day fasting and praying in hopes that manna would fall from heaven? I hate to disappoint these sloths, but it does not work. If you do NOT work and you decide to stay home or in your church all freaking day fasting and praying, just like this pastor said, you will die of hunger. Africans especially Nigerians need to understand the principles of life that GOD does not work in a vacuum. Just like in any biological reaction, you must have a substrate, so must you work in other for GOD to bless your handiwork as you fast and pray. |
