In the video above. 2 women can be seen exercising their faith in God. Their homes were on fire and they started praying for God to save them.

Guess what?
Christian started morking them and called them STUPID. This is my question.

Did God not say CALL ON ME IN THE DAY OF TROUBLE? so why are people calling them stupid for calling on god?

If you think they are stupid for calling on god then what is god useful for if it cannot save you in the day of trouble?
DOES THIS PROVE THAT CHRISTIANS DO NOT BELIEVE IN GOD? makes no sense to mock fellow christians exercising their faith.
You can see comments of people mocking them here.

99% of these comments mock these people and nigeria has 98% of people who believe in god so that means these people believe god is real yet mock those who show faith in god

Same thing happened when a man showed his faith in god and refused blood transfusion. His wife eventually died and guess what? People mocked him for believing that god could save his wife.

Do you all mean god is useless and cannot save?

This same god stands by and watches when small children get raped. I wonder why god never saves all those babies we see in the news that get raped. Can someone explain to me what exactly god does? What exactly is god useful for?

The salient question should be after the prayer, did their God put off the fire?

Common sense is actually rare

why are christians mocking them? They mock anyone that shows faith?

Because they could have used their common sense and find a way of putting off the fire first.

Their roofs was on fire but they decided to be chasing the rats first

are you saying god does not answer prayers? Cos god said, "call on me in the day of trouble and i will save you"
Was god lying?

Heaven helps only those who helped themselves

With all their years of praying, should there have been fire in their house?

Was it God that put fire in their house or their recklessness? Why can't they fixed that first before reverting to their God?

The right call to make is to fire service not to God. The miracle God will do is to make them pick their calls and arrive early. God doesn't answer calls that men have been charged to answer, He doesn't support dereliction of duty. Most of what we pray to God for in Nigeria are handled by government in other climes. Government is the institution responsible for welfare of citizens, not God.
Christians should unlearn what all these charlatants have taught them and embrace the true gospel.

There is a reason why the Bible said "wisdom to profitable to direct".

There's time for everything. Nothing stops you from praying while taking action. They were probably being mocked for their dead faith.

Jas 2:20 KJV But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

Neh 4:9 KJV Nevertheless we made our prayer unto our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them.

Eph 6:18 KJV Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

These three scriptures clearly show that biblical praying is accompanied with reasonable actions.

Quote the religious scripture that said it then.

Sometimes people tend to make a mockery of the faith - Christianity.

A peep into the scripture reveals the stupidity of those prayer warriors. Till tomorrow, God is answering prayers that are not "asked amiss".

If someone say you should "call in him In times of trouble" what exactly should come to your mind? Are you to expect him or her to do something he doesn't always do or what he always do?
Well calling on God is one thing but knowing how He always handle cases is another thing.

His only begotten Son according to the Bible is Jesus of Nazareth when he was in trouble he called on the same God what he got from God is salvation as in assurance of his resurrection not instant relief!

God does not do what man can do. If the matter is within your means, like in this case, making concerted efforts to douse the fire while awaiting the arrival of the fire service, God would not get involved. He doesn't like people who are lazy and who can not use the senses He gave them. God would involve Himself if the matter is beyond you. That means you've tried your best to no avail. Call upon God and He'll intervene.

For example, before raising Lazarus, Jesus said to the men "roll away the stone." That's what man can do. God would not roll away the stone for man. After they rolled away the stone, He called out Lazarus. That's what only God can do. Man cannot raise the dead. After Lazarus was raised to life, He asked men to loose his bounds and give him food. God would not loose his bounds and give him food because man has the capacity to do all that.

Lack of good understanding of the ways and nature of God is what has made men to lack miracles in their lives.

It was men who failed in this fire incident, not God. But ignorant men would go about blaming God in their ignorance. God is a God of rules and order. Just see the order in the universe . You'll understand. If you don't follow His rules, He would never bend because of you.

Was it God that made christians hungry? Was it God that made christians sick? Was it God that endanger christians? Yet they pray to him for food, good health and safety.
Your post obviously doesn't make sense.
Besides God said call upon me in the time of trouble and I would answer you. I guess you'd have to tear out that verse of the Bible and similar verses cos your post is dead on arrival

So if God can miraculously make them pick calls quickly, why not quench the fire and save everyone the whole stress? I mean he's the omnipotent dude here, nothing is impossible

Why do you guys quote the Bible to counter the Bible?
Same Bible said God can do everything if you just call on him. Same book also said even if your faith is as small as a mustard seed, your prayer would work.
Can you make it make sense?

Lets do an experiment.
If u are faced with a distressful situation, say burning house,
1. Call the fire service, BUT DONT PRAY.
2. Call the fire service, BUT PRAY BEFORE CALLING THEM
3. Dont call the fire service, JUST PRAY

Which of the 3 scenarios would be effective?

Watch him come back with sone more verbal gymnastics (that is if he is coming back)

Which is one is holy book. Say history book instead. Even the ancient people referred to Anunnaki as people sent from above.

Both logically and philosophically, heaven helps only those who helped themselves

Number 2 is the most effective and biblical, pray without ceasing. Prayer changes things.

Logically, heaven does not exist. Philosophically, heaven is not important.
So once more, tell us where u got that quote
