Sin is the cause of all problems in the world. Whatever that can remove sin from your life can solve all your problems. There is only one thing that the Bible says can remove sin from the life of a human being and it is the life of God. Ro. 5:10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son; much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. There is only one place where the Bible says that we can find the life of God; the word of God. Jn. 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Jn. 1:4 In him was life ; and the life was the light of men. Ro. 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness ; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Jos. 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth ; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein : for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. Form the habit of frequently speaking out God's commandments and promises, applying them to yourself, and the life of God will build up in you. The life of God working in you will kill sin in your life and God will take care of your problems. https://www.nairaland.com/7817492/salvation-sin |

Hahahahaha Oga you funny, I feel your pains. Oga you cannot bribe God; Do u still fornicate? If u are married are u loving and not cheating on your wife? If your wife angry with you God will not answer. Do u steal in the office, Do u lie, etc if any of the answer above is yes he will not answer you. Ask God for mercy, live a righteous life and he will answer before you pray. |

DCmaverick: Prayers do not work. God gave you one thing and that thing is what makes you a God. He gave you a brain. With the brain, we have created aeroplanes, we now go to the moon. We have cellphones. With the brain, we have tamed the lions, elephants etc. But with prayers, we have not been able to discover or invent anything. Africa is backward because we are too dependent on prayers and not encouraged to use our brains. You see a pastor tell you that whatever problem you have, once he prays for you, the problem is gone. But this same conman cannot pray for money for his church building project. He rather ask the congregation. Africans have been praying for centuries, where is the evidence of answered prayers? Prayer is for fools. For the mentally lazy. That problem you're disturbing God for a solution, someone somewhere used his brain to solve the problem. Make use of your brain, black man! 1 Like 1 Share |

DCmaverick: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. |

Klington: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. |

Before praying those prayers, make sure you are free from iniquity, have faith and a clear conscience. |

wanimo: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 1 Like |

jconsulting: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. |

You ask amiss. James 4:3. Seek God's glory in everything you ask for and not the fallen glory that looks good to the world. The answer to prayers is not based on your perfect attendance in church or your loud voice. Rather it Is based on your life and your heart. Repent and turn away from any UNGODLY way you still possess, with the holy spirit guiding you and develop intimacy with God through devotions. Lastly you need to be your own prophet because some prophetic declarations are simply shouted over to congregations to hype them up. Those that truly seek the Lord's face will find him. Grace to you. |
Re: Does It Mean That All My Prayers Are Not Being Answered? by Kobojunkie: 4:52pm On Aug 27, 2023 |
blaquebelle:To ask amiss means to ask while existing in an unright/unrighteous state. Check your dictionary. And the only way around that is to be in right/righteous standing with God. |

DCmaverick: Hebrews 11 vs 6: But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. The most important thing here is diligently. Have you ever met a sitting president? Even if you have, they don't know the contents of your heart, now compare the protocol to meeting God. Forget your pastor, forget your church, God is real and can best be found in deep sincere search, not in "this week is your week". That one is only an act of his mercy. |

Do you have Christ? Are you born again? Have you done water baptism? Have you done Holy ghost baptism with the evidence of speaking in tongue? If yes, try to be waking up around midnight to do praying in tongue only, maybe ten minutes only then speak what you want for your Angel to do it . Come back and come and give me review But if those questions are no, kindly find yes to them. And do what I said up there |
Re: Does It Mean That All My Prayers Are Not Being Answered? by Kobojunkiee: 7:09pm On Aug 27, 2023 |
Funkybabee:These religious rituals will only serve to distance you from God. Yes, you have to be born-again--- born of water and born of spirit--- but that is only the beginning in the journey towards God. Who says that if you do not them live your life in continuous submission and obedience to Him even after that --- again not to be confused with religious rituals -- you can't experience Holiness, and ultimately Righteousness which approves you for all the promises of God. |
