The development of a nation has nothing to do with religion, if 75percent or more of a nation's population are not technologically educated, then the country is in for doom , corrupt or not.

alBHAGDADI:

These days, it is common to see people compare the situation in Nigeria, which has a huge population of Christians, to that of China a non-christian country. The people who make such comparison often say China which doesn't believe in the Christian God is prosperous with modern technology, industries, good governance etc, while Nigeria which they say is highly religious is filled with corruption, bad governance, infrastructural decay, poverty etc.

When these people make such comparison, what they are saying is that Nigerians need to put religion aside and devote their time to work for their country"s development. Well, it is a good thing to work for the development of one's country, but putting religion (Christianity) aside is one big evil advice. They are basically saying we should abandon God and chart our course ourselves.

The people who make these statements are usually the people against tithing and also against going to Church. According to them, how come China that doesn't pay tithe or have Churches is prosperous than Nigeria which has countless Churches and tithe payers? To an untrained Christian, their talk can make you lose the love for the things of God, but only those who read the Bible regularly are the ones who will not fall. They will not fall for those satanic lies of theirs because they stand on the word on God, which is what we will stand on today.

Hebrews 12:6-11 King James Version (KJV)
6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.


Did you read the Bible passage above? It speaks of God's children and other children who are bastards. Did you see what the passage said about what happens to the sons of God? It says they will be chastised because God loves them i.e if they do wrong, they will be disciplined for it. It went on to state that any son who doesn't get chastised by God is a bastard son or not God's son.

A quick illustration is this: If your child asks you why you don't beat the child across the street who does whatever he likes which are mostly things you hate as a father, what will be your answer? You will simply tell your child that that kid across the street is not your child and so you are not going to spank him for doing whatever he wants. But for your own kid, you will spank him when he errs and reward him when he does good.

This is exactly what is happening with China. They are not God's children because they reject Christianity. They have decided to chart their course by themselves and have removed God from the equation. To them they are right in their own eyes.

Proverbs 14:12 (KJV)
There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

God is not punishing them because they are not his children. That's why they prosper and get away with many things until judgment day.

But we his children, even though we may be going through trying times, we still prosper in the end. Example is Joseph whose brothers hated, sold into slavery and was locked up in jail. What later became his end? He was made second in command to the pharaoh of Egypt and was mightily blessed. What about Job? He was the most perfect and upright man in his region at the time but lost all he had in one day. He lost ten children, his cattle, sheep, camels etc. It became worse that he was even covered with sores. What was his end? God blessed him and all he lost were restored more than before.

Did Joseph or Job abandoned God during their trial period? No, they didn't. So, why are you paying attention to the voice that says you should dump God because Nigeria is going through a rough time? Why do you want to stop paying tithe because Dangote or Bill Gates who doesn't pay tithe is richer than you and they keep prospering? If you disobey God, he will discipline you as a father would. The reason why billionaires and non-christian are getting away with disobeying Good is simply because he's not punishing them because they are not his children. But he will destroy them in the end because he's their maker whom they failed to acknowledge.

Yes things are bad in Nigeria, but are they totally bad? Have you been to some African countries like Somalia, Sudan, Sierra Leone etc? Even Ghana respects us very much. But because we are not like China that is older than us, we are now being deceived to dump God and do whatever we like.

The day of reckoning is coming for all those who have abandoned God. Their destruction will be Swift and unexpected. But till then...

Joshua 24:15 (KJV)
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD , choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD .

WHAT SELF DECEPTION GOES ON IN THE HEART OF MAN!

Nigerians dumping God?

Do Nigerians know God at all?

How many liars, thieves, adulterers, fornicators, murderers, perjurers, worshipers of false gods, proud, killers of unborn babies, murderers of fathers, murderers of mothers, patrons of occult priests, users of charms and amulets, consulters with marabouts, false accusers and workers of wickedness populate the length and breadth of Nigeria!

And someone is shameless enough talking of Nigerians dumping God!

Dumping which God - When virtually everyone of our prominent pastors, bishops, apostles and evangelists, our ‘men of God’, source their power from tombs, cemeteries and regale us with ‘revelations’ from recently deceased people?

Seek ye the LORD while He may be found…

Nigeria is not with God.

Stop deceiving yourself.

Your comment is coming from your personal experience I presume? Let me tell you with due respect, nobody can truly appreciate the deep benefits of Christianity except hw/she have an experience of salvation(born again) an experience NOT a mental acceptance of christ as Lord and Saviour.
It is only this experiential born again that can help you have a full understanding of the benefits of Christianity as a religion.
It gives you deep seated peace within your soul, free from condemnation, and the only certificate or visa accepted in heaven. You will hear the maker of heaven and earth speak g to your soul directly, (not necessarily audible voice most of the time) but you certainly will know when He speaks to you.
Then your perspective on the earthly possession will change. I recommend you try this God of the Christians. Goal one into your room, pray to him and ask Him to forgive your sins, be humble to admit your guilts and believe Him to save your soul. Look if you get honest with God, you will know He is Real!

This your analogy is wrong please, there's no true or better or Gods own nation than the Jews or Israelites.
Look at their Country, they are blessed, they are developed, why can't we be like that.
The answer is simple, its LEADERSHIP.
Let's get our leadership right and all will be well with us.
God is even angry with us and with many men of God.
We can't be serving him this much and not prosper, its either we are doing something wrong or we are doing something wrong.
And yes what we are doing wrong is we are not voting the right leaders.
My advice, On election day go and vote righteous men. Because according to the Bible, Righteousness Exaults a Nation.
APC and PDP do not meet that criteria whatsoever, vote for AAC.
Vote for Omoyele Sowore for president.

Unfortunately for you, you are not God...

Jesus has died for everyone. Jesus died for me, you, the Chinese, the Arabian, the Atheist..... And so on. All they need to do is to believe. That's all. So where did Jesus propose destruction for those who don't believe?

Many religions believe in God. Christians do, Islamists do, Buddhists do, and so on.... Why don't you let God decide what kind of punishment they deserve? Who are you, a pencil, to decide who God will destroy?

You should be bothered if you will make heaven. That's what I do. It won't make any sense if you sound this religious and sanctimonious, and you end up in hell with Shekau

Your threads are useless though. I'm a Christian, but I always read your thread to see the clever ways you try to interpret the truth so it massages your ego

I wonder too. The Bible says, "love your neighbours as yourself"

I'm tired of seeing or hearing preachers preach doom to whoever doesn't agree with their views, God Himself said we are all God's children, so they should let Him decide their fate or have these preachers seen a man send assassins after his own children because they disagree with some of his views?

Yes, China is developed but...

1.China has a lot of poor people, and poverty is rampant. Some areas look like they are very poor.

2.China has a culture of valuing education...but that is due to a guy called Confucius. Confucius was a religious leader who among many other things taught Chinese that education was very valuable.

3.China's education system is a strict meritocracy. (Because when your school going population is in the hundreds of millions...you have no choice).

4.China has very limited natural resources. So it is either you industrialise or forget it.

5.Under the atheistic Chairman Mao, China was severely underdeveloped due to a combination of very bad economic practices, and something called the Cultural Revolution. Why they are developed now has something to do with 'capitalisim'.

6.Nigeria is not developed for the simple reasons that Nigerians have this idea of sourcing for their daily bread...which renders us incapable of long term planning.Also the fact that we have natural resources has rendered us lazy.

7. To all those atheists out there...Vietnam is an anteistic nation...yet is poor. As is North Korea...whose budget is not up to one quarter of the deeply religious and sometimes conservative South Korea.

Even 90% of instruments used to worship in your churches in Nigeria are from China, even the microphone your pastors are using. I believed the phone or computer you used to make this remark about the great China is also from that China. Nigerians and their holier than thou attitude.

Nobody is asking anybody to abandon their religion. The only problem we are facing here is that we have failed to set a balance between our spiritual and our physical. We rather want our Christian God to help us to do everything including those things we can humanly do by ourselves.
