That's because the universe has laws. There are financial laws, laws of cause and effect.

If you live in line with those laws, you'll find success.

You cannot blackmail or bully God into making you successful. Not by prayers. Not by fasting. And definitely not by sowing seeds.
Don't you have empathy? ... did you have to pour the bitter truth down his throat?... in one big dose? ... couldn't you add a bit of honey? Some people need it that way .

Everything have law and you have to follow,like the law of reciprocation, givers never lack, not by giving it to any man be it spiritualist or pastor,u ursef as a human is a spirit,attune to the cosmic frequency,ask question concerning your current state,keep dream,do good,link up with great mind the universe will favour you,but the utmost,riches are not measured as wealth,for there are rich men who are not completely ok,the don't have kids, the have health challenges draining them,pressure and so,you are responsible for yourself,if u presume u are rich u are rich,is all mental state,once u begin to see yourself as poor then u are poor,aslong u can afford ur basic needs u are doing well and mind you,every one is destined, and we have seasons for all this, maybe you are program to be rich at your 40, fasten it might cost you, believe me wealth is within you,find solution either service and sell it up,take time before it builds up,even dangote with favored policy ND loans still takes him time to attain such current wealth,he worked for it even though he might laverage on certain stuff, remember there are other business he tried that fail but he keep focus ND never giv up,so believe in yourself and find something u love most ND channel it to be earning,trust me in 10year,even in ur sleep u can do such correctly and got paid,ask ursef why great salary comes with people that have number of experience in such field,is not coincidence, company knows what the want ND that's y the pay such wage for it

So that we have the full and better package God reserves and gives to His Children.

The one you see that people have is just God's goodness package for all men but as you see from the op's cries, it is never enough and the package even ceases.

But the one God gives Christians, is full package, 3 or 4 course meals, very sweet, very complete and always very satisfying even to overfeeding levels. That is why if Tinubu like, fuel can be 2500, we would still eat our 2 chief packs of pizza, Barbecued cat fish and chicken, travel and hoteling with the family non stop. While you atheists will hunger and want and kpai in suffarin
So the Christians that are suffering aren't God's children? The ones getting wasted by bandits every eke market day aren't God's children?

Even you sef. I'm certain that hunger dey waya you for where you dey. Na just nonsense you dey talk.

I know one guy like that from school. Never studied hard, never fasted, never prayed, but he seems to have photographic memory. He’s now an executive vice president abroad collecting $500k per year.

I won't say "religious prayer" is useless. But "prayer" comes in different forms, it's just another form of "positive affirmation" if you ask me.

Try normal financial rules for success first but if they don't work, then its time to go full spiritual.

Watch videos of Pastor Olumide Emmanuel.

Help someone/a business make more money or make someone feel less afraid then they'll give you money.

Money is an exchange for value.

You guys never cease to amaze me. How can you go to a woman to solve your spiritual problem? Secondly to feed your chi, you only need 4 tubers of yam, 1 hot drink, 1 crate of beer and 1 native fowl if you can't afford a goat. All these items would be used for prayer in your presence and a meal will be prepare with it which you'll have the first share. Anyone that demands for 100k is a scammer but the first question should be do you know your Chi?

1. Temporal Wealth vs. Eternal Happiness
Divine Providence looks to eternity, while humans judge life by immediate circumstances. Wealth and status are not rewards for piety, nor are they signs of holiness—they are simply temporal conditions governed by natural laws. God’s primary goal is preparing souls for heaven, not granting physical riches. As Swedenborg writes, "The Divine Providence looks to what is eternal, and to what is temporal only so far as it accords with the eternal" (Divine Providence §214).

2. The Preservation of Free Will

Spiritual growth requires complete freedom. If God punished non-believers with poverty or rewarded prayer with riches, faith would be forced through fear or greed. By allowing people to live according to their own intellect and desires, God ensures that inner character develops freely without spiritual coercion.

3. The Law of Divine Permission
God permits worldly ambition and spiritual neglect because forcibly stopping them would destroy human free will. However, God still directs these ambitions toward useful ends: the skills and hard work of non-religious people often build businesses, advance technology, and create infrastructure that benefit society.

4. Internal vs. External Religion

Swedenborg distinguishes between external rituals and internal spiritual life. Reciting prayers and fasting mean nothing if driven by habit, pride, or fear. Conversely, someone who does not observe formal rituals but acts honestly, loves their neighbor, and lives morally out of a genuine desire for good is far closer to heaven. God measures the heart, not superficial piety.

in Jesus’s Parable of the Unjust Steward (Luke 16:1–9), where a worldly manager uses shrewd natural wisdom to secure his future.

The Spiritual Meaning: In Swedenborg's theology, this parable highlights how people of the world often use their natural intellect and worldly prudence far more effectively than "children of light" use their spiritual opportunities.

The Lesson: God commends the steward’s cleverness—not his dishonesty—to teach that natural diligence and worldly capability are real skills. However, unless worldly "mammon" (possessions and natural talents) is used to serve good, useful, and heavenly ends, it remains merely external. True religion is not about passive ritualism; it requires actively applying intelligence to do genuine good in the world.

You can become rich by solving people problems.
Re: Some People Don’t Even Pray Or Fast But Things Are Working Perfectly Ok For Them by dederocs(m): 7:43pm On Oct 18
It's not about religiosity, align with the universal laws, this is the path of mysticism, things work by principles of nature. As per becoming rich, the more challenge you solve or solutions to problems you bring the richer you be...not through employment but investment, partnerships and entrepreneurship.

criuze:
prayers doesn't do much without sacrifice

That's a very sad reality most christian doesn't know

The 3 secretes are
Convenant
Sacrifice, and
Then Prayer

Convenant is your platform, sacrifice is your fuel then Prayer is your demand

If you don't make sacrifices how can your message move up
Can you give stance on the first two as a Christian ?

What could be a ;
1. Covenant
2. Sacrifice
Re: Some People Don’t Even Pray Or Fast But Things Are Working Perfectly Ok For Them by Lovelydaisies: 7:45pm On Oct 18
1. Everybody has their own time. As you think 'things are working for them', also know there are times they'll feel down.

2. It's the Lord's decision to bless whomever. The race is not for he that runneth...abi how them talk am again. Ours is to pray, God's own is to listen to our prayers and bless when he chooses to.

3. That person may be doing something right, better than you who pray. He may know a secret or a person/persons you who pray don't know.

4. There are people who pray/intercede for you. Yes, you- your wife, husband, brethren, intercessors, parents, friends, well-wishers, monks and nuns (Yes, they pray for the world and its people including people who don't or can't pray for themselves), religious leaders and so on. Or don't you know that God listens to the prayers of other for you?

5. The point is: you aren't that person. What works for them may not work for you. Follow your Christian principles as God has laid down for you and don't compare yourself. Grace is given to everyone, general and specific. Don't compare. You won't face that person's judgement.

1. Work
2. Save
3. Invest
4. Continue working till you see the results from #3 abive.

Unless you want to take the routes of scammed, yahoo folks ritualistic etc. I dont subscribe to such people.

Start with having some income first and have a goal you are aiming at.

Everything doesn't have to be through illegal and opportunistic means - it comes come within you.

All the best bro.

You should have saved your breath...these folks are not interested in taking difficult & realistic steps inorder to solve their various issues...they are mostly interested in magical thinking & abracadabra

Find a place wey photocopying and printing move.. like schools, LGA or immigration centres, get a 3-in-1 printer + photocopier and learn little bit about computer literacy bros.... Wit that to eat is no more your problem.
