| If You Believe In God, Why Is... by kris(op): 7:19pm On Aug 11, 2024 |
Why is God not helping Nigeria fix the many problems it have? Many Nigerians pray daily for God to help them, but most times their prayers go unanswered, why is that? Why are countries where they don't believe in God as much doing better than us? Why is God not helping fix the bad governance in Nigeria? Why do believers pray to God to help them get visas to countries where they don't respect God as much as they do in Nigeria. Why is it that in football, countries that hardly pray to God, tend to beat us almost 100% of the time, if though we pray to God a trillion times before the game? Why is there so much confusion among believers on the nature of God and how he wants to be worshipped? They even kill each other in the name of God. How long will your prayers go unanswered before you realize that it actually doesn't work. You will get the same result if you pray or not. I don't believe in God, God and religion were made up by men to control others and enrich themselves. I also believe that the belief in God and religion is what has kept countries like Nigeria backwards. The countries doing the best in the world are those that are heavily invested in Science and Technology. And yes, no country is perfect. But if you think that we are on earth just to prepare to go to heaven, then stop doing anything else and just share the word of God till you die. No need to go to school, no need to work, after all your God does miracles, he will send manners from heaven, like he does for the pastors that don't work, but are rich. ![]() |

He created the system and made you conscious He has done enough The other countries understand this concept MAN IS THE CARETAKER OF THE PHYSICAL WORLD so when we are ready to understand the world around us To take care of it and protect it God will not come and build standard roads for or provide hospitals or standard electricity for you You have to come together and think of the best ways to do all this things If your intentions are good God will only bless your efforts If your intentions are bad time will expose you These are just basic understanding |

So are you saying there's no need for prayers? Why don't many of the believers understand it your way? There will be less violence if they see it your way, can God make that happen? Zaheertyler: |

Surely you have a lot of questions in your mind but then why do you trust social media where most people have the same unanswered questions in their minds? Well let me answer TWO out of your questions and allow you to meditate on what the Bible says! •Why is God not helping Nigeria fix the many problems it have? *God didn't promise a relief in the end time rather things will continue to worsen according to the mindset of people in each location: But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness,betrayers, headstrong, puffed up with pride, lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God,having an appearance of godliness but proving false to its power; and from these turn away. 2Timothy 3:1-5 Now carefully read through the highlighted in blue and try to think of a country much more wicked than Nigeria in what God said will lead to hardship in the last days! •Many Nigerians pray daily for God to help them, but most times their prayers go unanswered, why is that? *Most Nigerians are worshipers of Mammon (Riches) so don't look at their hypocritical self gratification claiming prayer warriors. Their hands are filled with blood as they are desperate for wealth and careless about the welfare of their neighbors {Mark 12:29-31} so this is what God said about wicked people like Nigerians: Hear the word of Jehovah, you dictators of Sodʹom. Pay attention to the law of our God, you people of Go·morʹrah. “Of what benefit to me are your many sacrifices?” says Jehovah. “I have had enough of your burnt offerings of rams and the fat of well-fed animals, And I have no delight in the blood of young bulls and lambs and goats. When you come to appear before me, Who has required this from you, This trampling of my courtyards? Stop bringing in any more worthless grain offerings. Your incense is detestable to me. New moons, sabbaths, the calling of conventions —I cannot put up with the use of magical power along with your solemn assembly. I have hated your new moons and your festivals. They have become a burden to me; I am tired of bearing them. And when you spread out your palms, I hide my eyes from you. Although you offer many prayers, I am not listening; Your hands are filled with blood. Isaiah 1:10-15 So it's not God's fault rather the inhabitants of Nigeria. Ask each person you see around you if they are ready to welcome a situation where all civil servants will be paid the same salary monthly and see how 99% will object as if they will love to be slaves while their fellow citizens live in affluence. Meaning each person is anticipating a time he or she will live big while their fellow citizens can't afford three square meal. Each of them wants cooks, cleaners, gardeners, drivers and other domestic staffs while their children treat fellow Nigerians like slaves on their own father's land! So their prayers doesn't reach the ceiling or roof of their worship centers because they are all WICKED in their hearts! ![]() |

kris:That is another topic altogether There is need but most prayer points can be answered by us Like good health care , education and employment opportunities will solve the issue Any Nigerian with health issue of 4 million na miracle e go end because where 4 million to treat himself Dey? Doesn’t mean that God can’t hear their prayers But for man to touch Gods heart we need his mercy because only a genuine and pure heart can get to him I.e heart that follows Jesus Christ the lamb that was slain Too tell you how hard it is.. only 144,000 people would pass the test.. we have 8 billion people now Imagine the population it will be then and then less than 1% are the true worshippers of the true God lol Big lol.. even me self that is talking |

kris:They'll tell you free will blah, blah, blah, while also believing that praying to their god could make him interfere in the decisions of humans. |

Zaheertyler:Seems very useless then. Why then do you pray? And when is he exposing our mamy corrupt politicians? Those ones lie with religion and steal from the masses while their pockets grow fat. |
| Re: If You Believe In God, Why Is... by Zaheertyler(m): 10:32pm On Aug 11, 2024 |
kingxsamz:Imagine the prayer of a Christian in a country like Luxembourg 😂😂😂you go see wetin I Dey talk God will not expose them He will judge them It’s your work to be aware and educated to expose them yourself Trust is very important so when selecting your leaders make sure transparency and accountability is at the base of their character.. |
| Re: If You Believe In God, Why Is... by Zaheertyler(m): 10:33pm On Aug 11, 2024 |
kingxsamz:It will but leave God and face yourself Are you worthy enough for God to interfere in your matter? Nawa oo |

The end time has been coming for thousands of years now. ![]() People in developed countries also worship riches. Your answers doesn't answer anything. MaxInDHouse: |
| Re: If You Believe In God, Why Is... by kris(op): 1:59am On Aug 12, 2024 |
So you have to be pure at heart for God to do miracles for you? So no single sinner has ever experienced God's miracle? So how do people know the one true God? Cause many people swear that they worship the one true God, they even kill for him, and claim he gave them the power to conquer their enemies as they kill their enemies. I think you are all full of it and using God and religion as an excuse for your actions. Zaheertyler: |

Exactly. They will also claim he doesn't change. If he doesn't change, then I don't need to ask him to get that big contract, because if it's his will for me to get it, I will get it, if it's not his will, then my prayers will not change him. kingxsamz: |

And those politicians are hardly ever punished. When bad things finally happen to a politician, they will say na God, forgetting that bad things are happening to them themselves the righteous ones on a daily basis. In that case they say it's the devil tempting them. ![]() kingxsamz: |
| Re: If You Believe In God, Why Is... by kris(op): 2:13am On Aug 12, 2024 |
God was invented like Santa Clause. Parents use Santa Clause to get kids to behave, but when the kid grows up, you use God. When that grown up kid is asking why good things happen to bad people, then you tell them that they will be judge when they die. You guys just spit out what you have been brainwashed with, like you know for a fact. Zaheertyler: |
| Re: If You Believe In God, Why Is... by kris(op): 2:19am On Aug 12, 2024 |
The fear of God is what is used to control people like you. I don't fear God, he cannot do jack to me. If he wants to show his power, let me fix hunger in Nigeria, then I will believe he is real. But if I get into a car accident tomorrow, I will not think that God is trying to show me he is real, because things like that happens to people all the time. Zaheertyler: |

kris:Yes you have to be and with clean hands The others have pastors ,friends,loved ones and ancestors that have and had genuine conscience interceding for them That’s what I believe a pure conscience is one that fears the creator and his laws Or you think there is no reward for having a pure conscience? Na you sabi Why do you think there is so much pain ,wars,hungers,conflict drug abuse ,domestic violence in the world? Instead of doubting the existence of the divine You should focus on encouraging people to have clean conscience and hands It will solve 99% of the worlds problems |
| Re: If You Believe In God, Why Is... by Zaheertyler(m): 7:15am On Aug 12, 2024 |
kris:The forces in this world Are good Bad And hybrids Most of us were hybrids both good and bad But imagine if we were totally good With the understanding that the world isn’t full of good people so with all your experience with the bad and hybrids wouldn’t change who you are at heart And the trinity rules the side of good And for the people who want to be affiliated with only good and pure light if you don’t use the Bible I no understand because it’s the only truth and guide |
| Re: If You Believe In God, Why Is... by Zaheertyler(m): 7:21am On Aug 12, 2024 |
kris:Anybody telling you you need anything other than a clean hands and conscience to worship God is wasting your time Prayers might strengthen your spirit and makes you strong spiritually But to touch the garment of God Clean heart and faith bro |

kris:Funny enough the endtime began in the year 1914! Before then people living in different parts of the earth don't experience artificial famine it's drought that often makes it difficult for people to get enough food back then but today think of all the discoveries in science and technology humans can produce food in large quantities but then why are many still dying due to malnutrition? This is what Jesus said will characterize the last days: • Wars in all the continents. • Food shortages. • Unknown kinds of diseases. • Earthquakes and other national disasters. • Moral decadence on a global scale. • Betrayal here and there. • Many false religionists deceiving people. • True Christians preach and teach with zeal. Matthew 24:7-14 Are you sure all these things simultaneously occurs in any century before now? Ọmọ the endtime began in the year 1914 and ever since then all these things began happening on an unprecedented scale! ![]() |

You forgot to mention the exact identity of the God which you ask of. Your questions make no sense if you do not first identify the God you speak about as there are at least over 4000 of them known to man. So, please which God? ![]() kris: |
| Re: If You Believe In God, Why Is... by Zaheertyler(m): 6:22am On Aug 13, 2024 |
Kobojunkieee:The head of the force of light or good Same light he used in creating humans But they decided to choose darkness and that’s why the world is like this Even if the Gods are 1000 The spiritual forces are just 2. Good and evil Which are you? Because it begins with you and I If you’re light Then the Christian Bible is your only truth and authority Not the tongue of any man or image because the trinity are all spiritual forces The father, the rock, and the Holy Ghost None carries any image as you can see |

Zaheertyler:But he says we should ask for anything in his name, he'll provide. Why are you changing rules at this crunch time? |
| Re: If You Believe In God, Why Is... by jaephoenix(m): 1:57pm On Aug 13, 2024 |
Zaheertyler:You're speaking from both sides of your mouth. DO WE NEED PRAYERS OR NOT? Whether the stuff we ask can be gotten by humans or not, is irrelevant |

Zaheertyler:You didn't answer the questions. So miracles are only for the pure hearted? |
| Re: If You Believe In God, Why Is... by Zaheertyler(m): 4:06pm On Aug 13, 2024 |
jaephoenix:So you mean it’s okay to sin and pray to God or what? Not saying man is perfect oo But you can’t know what you’re doing not trying to change Easily moved by sin You don’t feel remorse when you lie or do wrong Because that’s the way the world is And you’re still praying Idk sha..but it’s weird to me |
| Re: If You Believe In God, Why Is... by Kobojunkieee: 4:06pm On Aug 13, 2024 |
Zaheertyler:Your questions make little or no sense at all when applied to the God of the Bible who declared that the one and only people on earth He has chosen as His inheritance are the children of Israel. Your Nigerians are not children of Israel, right? So, I am afraid you have the wrong God identity here. You need do some investigating to figure out which of the over 4000 deities out there your questions best apply to. Either that or you would need to revise your questions to fot the particular declarations of the deity you wish to ask questions of. ![]() |

Kobojunkieee:They are everywhere Will I be a part Idk that’s for the judge to decide My own is to try my best The Bible doesn’t save you from sin It increases your awareness to it |
| Re: If You Believe In God, Why Is... by Kobojunkieee: 5:36pm On Aug 13, 2024 |
Zaheertyler:Who are the they that are everywhere? 2. If the book increased your awareness, then why do you sound so unaware of the fact that there are many deities out there and that the particular one described in the Bible swore that His only inheritance in the land of men — the only people that are His own to do anything for— are the people descended from the blood of Jacob? ![]() I suggest you stop confusing yourself first. ![]() |
