life is so short and sweet and i wonder why so many people in africa have decided to dream it away in spiritual fantasy about a handsome half naked carpenter who was a bastard son of an acclaimed virgin who was crucified on the cross like a traitor, beaten and tortured while he delude himself thinking he is the son of God only to get to the cross and realizing his folly cried out my god my god why have thou forsaken me and even begging his imaginary father to make the cup pass away from him.
Of what use have God been to mankind?? what problem have prayers ever solved?? disease and stroke de even kill pastors wey de claim to miraculously cure them

Good points.. Op, but here is my take. PRAY/WORSHIP HARD, HUSTLE EQUALLY HARD. With ir hustle u conquer the earth, with ur prayer, u hammer for heaven join.

I am a Christian and all, but dnt sacrifice what u see and knw currently for that which is ehmmm, not very certain. God wldnt hv put us on earth is his plan is for us to just siddon look.

Hustle right guys, hustle tight... Pray even harder. The hustle plays by different rules, there is a meeting point smwhere between the hustle and spirituality, but are still sort of exclusive

Lord! I just want to be comfortable and lack nothing...

Two things i request of you(DEprive me not before i die):
Remove falsehood and lies far from me;
Give me neither poverty nor riches---
Feed me with the food allotted to me.
Proverb 30:7-8


Lord, all i want is riches and Happiness... Prosper all i do. In Jesus' name...

Yea, It all depends on your resolved and your ability to think outside the box. Bad things happens to Theists just as much as it happens to Atheists. Theists are just lazy àss looking for a easy way out.

Have you ever felt bad because the person who has treated you badly has been receiving material blessings and favours from people while living an apparently abundant life?


"Don't worry about the wicked or envy those who do wrong. For like grass... blah blah blah" (Psalm 37:1-2)

There are times in our lives when we feel wrongly treated by other people. There are times when those who have abused others and stole their wealth appear to have been unjustly blessed. At other times, those who are doing wrong seem to be getting away with it, and even gaining the favour and appreciation of others who don't know the real deal. Friends, this injustice does exist under the sun.

But for all of those who are on the abused or wronged side of the equation, take comfort in knowing that you have a defender in the Lord. He is our Avenger, the One who promised to repay those who do evil.


1. Delight in the Lord, not in the downfall of the abuser


2. Stop being angry and don't even worry about them

"Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for Him to act. Don't worry about evil people who prosper [/b]or fret about their wicked schemes. [b]For the wicked will be destroyed, but those who trust in the Lord will possess the land." (Psalm 37:7-9)

3. Put your hope in the Lord and follow Him

"Put your hope in the Lord. Travel steadily along his path. He will honour you by giving you the land. You will see the wicked destroyed." (Psalm 37:34)
From the highlighted crap, it's safe to say you've got some deep hatred for unbelievers and a completely bleeped up idea about who an unbeliever is.

Abuser, wicked, evil, destruction, destruction, destruction! Na horror movie? grin

An unbeliever doesn't believe. Shikena!

RELIGION MAKES MANY LAZY AND POOR... With silly excuses like:

Vanity upon vanity!
There r more in heaven than on earth!
And the likes...

Where u can't even feed ur self and family here on earth!
.. Moving from religious building to the other!!

That's why the whites and the whites-like Excel more than we do!!

Not forgetting that... Whatever u r on earth.. By it u shall forever be remembered!

Who cares if you have mansions in heaven!
How will I even know!?
Who we go ask!??

iliyande:
Have you ever felt bad because the person who has treated you badly has been receiving material blessings and favours from people while living an apparently abundant life? If you have, then the Bible has this message for you.

Timothy 6: -8 "But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that.

"Don't worry about the wicked or envy those who do wrong. For like grass, they soon fade away. Like spring flowers, they soon wither." (Psalm 37:1-2)

There are times in our lives when we feel wrongly treated by other people. There are times when those who have abused others and stole their wealth appear to have been unjustly blessed. At other times, those who are doing wrong seem to be getting away with it, and even gaining the favour and appreciation of others who don't know the real deal. Friends, this injustice does exist under the sun.

But for all of those who are on the abused or wronged side of the equation, take comfort in knowing that you have a defender in the Lord. God said, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay" (see Romans 12:19, Deuteronomy 32:35). He is our Avenger, the One who promised to repay those who do evil.

My role?


God said He will be the one to repay. Our part is simply to forgive our offender, cast that care on God, and wait for Him to do as He has promised.

Here are some things that you can and should do:

1. Delight in the Lord, not in the downfall of the abuser

"Trust in the Lord and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper. Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart's desires. Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust Him, and He will help you. He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn, and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun." (Psalm 37:3-6)

2. Stop being angry and don't even worry about them


"Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for Him to act. Don't worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes. Stop being angry! Turn from your rage! Do not lose your temper— it only leads to harm. For the wicked will be destroyed, but those who trust in the Lord will possess the land." (Psalm 37:7-9)

3. Put your hope in the Lord and follow Him


"Put your hope in the Lord. Travel steadily along his path. He will honour you by giving you the land. You will see the wicked destroyed." (Psalm 37:34)

Finally, financial prosperity sometimes often comes at a cost of a man’s soul. It is difficult to accumulate wealth and follow God at the same time. There have been, and still are, wealthy people who are living for God and use their wealth for the good of others. Such men are very rare because the effect of wealth is usually to corrupt the owner of it. Greed and self indulgence are frequent outcomes. That is why Jesus said that we could not serve two masters. We can either serve God, or we can serve mammon (material wealth), but not both.

""Believing or not believing in God does not make you wealthy.. your ability to think out of the box makes the difference""

Guy you are wrong, who gives you the ability to think?
Re: When Unbeliever Appears To Be More Blessed Than You Are by Rossikk(m): 10:28am On Jul 24, 2016
Interesting verses. What "land" exactly was the bible 'God' saying he would give the people if they obeyed him? Was it as usual the land of their innocent neighbors which this so-called 'God' was always permitting his 'chosen people' to loot, invade, and destroy, and rap.e their women? God of rap.e and looting.

Show some kindness and forgive those that offend you and be contented with what you have , going to the church without the spirite that forgive is a sin ,money or matrail things is not the evident of being a child of God .

I can't relate that bolded line with what happened to job.
The man dey on him own dey reverence him God, (a God that sees the future). Satan come tease God?(satan created by God so should know that God already knows how the game will end)

Then God gave satan permission to persecute job...why? To prove a point to satan? I really don't understand how a loving God can allow a man's family members die so as to PROVE A POINT to satan?

Just Imagine

Nigerian Breweries recorded sales of almost N300 billion in 2015 while Guinness is expected to record sales of N275 billion totaling almost =N=600 Billion (About $3 billion) which is about 3% of our GDP. That is about 3 billion bottles of beer and when distributed across 170 million people is about 200 bottles per person a year.
The average Nigerian is either a Christian or a Muslim.
Both religions enjoined adherents to avoid alcohol. So,
who drank=N=600 billion worth of alcohol in one year? A country of unassailable contradictions... More churches and mosques than anywhere else on the continent.
Please who drank it? undecided
This is interesting because It does not include paraga,
and other assorted foreign and local drinks like Ogogoro, palm wine, alomo, kerewa, etc. If these are added, only
God knows...!

"Eye service religious adherents too many for Nja"
It's the atheist who drank it. #simple

It should be pointed out that Nigeria Breweries and Guinness don't only make beer, Origin zero, Malt drinks, soft drinks are also produced and sold in huge Numbers too

Although alcoholic drinks would make the largest chunk of their sales
