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 .

this is nonsense!!!
So far, religion has not brought us the required chastity, discipline and uprightness required for development. I strongly believe we should give religion a back seat in this country. All this bullshit about being children of God and China being children of devil is just hilarious. Plain stupid talk!!!. So are u saying that God chastises us by giving us a continuous string of bad leaders,,? Or ensuring we always have corruption in our lives?
Are u for real bro?? Are we the only ones commiting sins? Are there no Christian countries that are prospering? Those countries are they all saints? This should tell u that Christianity is not a factor in deciding how a nation prospers. So maybe we should give it a back seat and try to do things differently. I actually feel that religion is a major part of our problems in Nigeria. We use it as an excuse to do so many things wrongly.

Nonsense epistle, when are we going to triumph, is it when we are six feet down. We spend a lot of time and resources on church going activities and building Churches but when it is time to build major infrastructures like bridges, railway we run to the same Chinese because we do have the financial clout or engineering knowhow to carry out such task. The Japanese also are hugely an irreligious society with also a huge population, yet we die younger than they do.

I was able to read through the CONTENT of your LETTER. Mind you, That’s exactly what you think.
I am a CHRISTIAN, but what you put up here is NONSENSE and COMPLETELY RUBBISH.
Are you saying that God will punish the CHINESE, DANGOTE, etc....
Sorry to say but Better go for Rehabilitation because it appears you need that swiftly.
U are now the ONE thinking and concluding for God.
Don’t you think you need Hospital Admission...??what you said is encouraging LAZINESS among the CHRISTIANS.
Please DESIST from such

I'm not thinking and concluding for God, I'm only stating what his word says. As long as Dangote remains a Muslim and China remains a Christ rejecting country, then doom awaits them. According to the word of God, they are condemned already for rejecting Jesus.

John 3:18
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Despite our Christianity, God-worship, we hate ourselves so much in this country. We hate the progress of a neighbor, we sabotage every effort. Take a look at Nollywood. Those movies depict us, our way of life: shamanism, witchcraft, hedonism with cloak of Christianity, and outright vindictiveness.

Look at the way we live; that old street cleaner in LAWMA orange jumpsuit is working her ass out to keep the road clean, and we still dump a lot of trash on the road, making her job so hard.

The road is narrow fitting only a car at time, then and there their meanness comes up to fore setting side all the meekness of Christianity. They call it " no chance." They jostle! They hurry! In no time there is a fender bender. Road completely blocked. Both men are out shouting at the top of their lungs. Do you expect God to come down to teach you- "you pass, I pass" ?

for the Chinese, doing something that would make them loose face is greatly abhorred. So also the Koreans and the Japanese. They may not be Christians but they act Christ-like despite all human flaws. They know pot holes cause accident, they fix it. They knew street lights prevents accidents, they fix it. They know there are poor people amongst, they open up soup kitchens, They know that life is important, they try their best to make life good for their people irrespective of tribe and ethnicity.

Your local govt chairman waste your meager resources riding Venza rather than fix that road that would make life easy for all. He is a Christian or Muslim, and he sends in his fat tithe every month.

We need a radical change in our way of life...we should live good and do good, just like Christ; for your long prayers and fat tithe won't help if your heart is as dark as tar

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.

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 .

why would you say they are not God's children? Didn't Jesus die for them? What happened between us and china is not because of being God's children or what not, it is because africans are cursed with bad leadership. Does china have oil? No. Arabs that rejected Jesus why is that their resources are put to good use while we who accepted Jesus are stealing ours and stashing abroad. This has nothing to do with Christ but the people. We are cursed. And by the way not everybody in Nigeria has accepted Jesus so economic indicies has nothing to do with Jesus because for giving us oil He has done his part. He will not leave heaven and come down here to drill oil for you. If we have decided to be poor there is nothing God can do for you. Coming to tithing it is an individual thing and it works. So anybody using china to support the reason not to tithe is an idiot. Even if you don't tithe, God would still bless you nevertheless.

The Japanese also are hugely an irreligious society with also a huge population, yet we die younger than they do.

When we die we go to Heaven.

When they die they go to Hell!

The earth maybe theirs.

But Heaven is for us!
