Is there any where in the world where there are no bad people? Is it every day church services that stops bad people from doing evil or it is our sincerity with God that makes our prayers to be answered?

zudozz:
She is right to an extent but dont forget that in this part of the world a lot of bad people and evil forces trying to pull you down..I dont think they have things like that working against their hard work in that part of the world.

If one needs to work in order for prayer to work why not just skip prayer altogether and just work? I mean Japan is filled with atheists and things are still working for them

Work works

prayer needs work

prayer is therefore useless

Am sorry to stop your little fantasy of what prayer looks like, I know there are different types of prayer, thanks giving, petition, Intercessory, etc but the definition of true prayer is a spiritual connection between divinity and humanity so there fore prayer in every Christian life is extremely necessary for the upkeeping of spiritual realms, every body has a gift, my gift I see visions am not lying neither am I hallucinating, God admonished us to work on earth. Jesus loves you but it doesn't mean you will us not carry your cross, mark says "Therefore any one who is my follower will carry his cross".Because you are a Christian doesn't mean you won't face obstacles and problems but admist all odds guard your faith jealousy, prayer is not a little petition but an obligation for Christian, Japan is such a great country cause they are innovative, hardworking, etc With or without God on earth you will be successful if you have a good pass but God says what does a man gain if he gains the whole world and loose his soul. Japan is only useful on earth, after life it's useless.

A notable example of friends who travel out and then, every friend becomes a devil .....
They look at the times these friends did one thing or the other....
Back to the topric..
Religion isn't bad if you want to go into it....
Stopping it because you changed location even when in your new region of ENLIGHTENMENT , people do it is your decision...
And should not be a wolf cry...

I think she stopped going to church 3 times a week.If you are busy you will pray as you go, I don't think you would have that time

Herrmes:
You try too hard, not criticising you, your efforts aren't appreciated enough.

Hmm thanks for the compliment but I'm certain that I've changed minds on this platform. several people have sent PM talking about how my posts are shaking their faith. many Nairalanders have opened threads saying that reading my posts are what started their journey to enlightenment

I believe there are many more like that who probably didn't send PM nor opened threads

I have one question for you, You say you see vision right OK do you have to be in a specific location or time

amaniro:

With or without God on earth you will be successful if you have a good pass

Good!

Oga, every Christian needs something or the other from God, some needs are just more easily met while some are harder or they're after afterlife

I'm not Oga

Olalan:
The truth is majority of us are simply religious and not true adherents of our faiths......cause a careful look at our faith lays emphasis on working hard......

Really? Working with wisdom supercedes working hard. Look at Fulani's herders and their counterparts abroad. They have milk and meat in excess yet Fulani herders work harder.

eleojo23:
We are mostly practicing religion here.

If Nigeria becomes developed and there is less hunger in the land, you will see that most people will stop going to church.


That is when you will know those who really love God for who He is and not for what they can get from Him.

But honestly we have too many church programs in this country sha...from Monday to Sunday...one program or the other...haba!

Moderation is necessary so that church activities don't take the place of real personal intimacy with God himself.
Churches keep members busy all week long so that they don't even have time to study the Bible by themselves hence they depend on their pastors to teach them the Bible and they believe whatever the pastor says without checking to see if it's correct.
That is how Christian 'zombies' are made.

This is true, if there is no malaria, there would be no prayer for it, if there is no witch craft attack, there would be no Die Die prayer.

Especially when praying, or resting. Sometimes sleeping or when you close your eyes.

But you'd be in the spiritual realm which has different time zones. Sometimes when God needs you to see it fast you just get the message as often

Work without faith works

faith without works is failure

why have faith then? why not just skip faith altogether and just work?

work without faith does not work. I don't know where you got this from. Non believers use the word hope... Nothing works without hope. This is faith to me. Believing something will work, being positive about your work and actions. In business publications, you see words like outlook. It means they are looking to something, hoping and working towards it. This is how life has made it.

majekdom2:
Sorry oo you got a silly mum who has substituted the place of work for prayers. The Bible says watch and pray. The word watch here can be replaced with work. It also says faith without work is dead. It is your mum and her likes that have made Christians look silly and lazy in Nigeria

How can you call someone else Mum silly, Really? Don't you have your own Mum?

You got it wrong there.
To believe is totally different from Hope.
Scientist do not have faith, they have Hope. This is why they research and go fru trials upon trials. And they way they do things can be repeated and can be thought to anybody.
You cant teach a person how to heal another person, or speak in tongues.

I told you the blunt truth because am not a gullible Christian I no dey carry religion for head


But after earth, you'd be solely responsible for your salvation, the Bible says on the last day he will ask "you heard the gospel over and over why didn't you believe. I believe in the supernatural and afterlife. Please I have a little assignment for you. Please, try to find out if God really exists via practicals not theories. Please don't be too sturbon to know the truth. Please

have I answered you?

Yes you have, so what I can deduce from your answer is, there is no time or place, it happens at God own time.
If the above is true, you do not need to be in church or at home, you could be anywhere and at anytime, SO
What gives us the right to criticise a person who do not fulfil the regular times a church service must hold within a week then?
Of what Moral ground does this kind of blame exist?

We go to church everyday but poverty is worst in Africa... let's open our eyes... if it's our government is good who wan go church everyday...ask Oyibo them brought church we pray past them lol

What do you people actually think is the purpose of Church?

This just shows the hearts of men.

Is Church all about God give me, give me?

I fear for people's souls o.
