I've lost my faith in God and there is why

My elder brother was a very strong Christian, stronger than I am. Always went to church even when he was under the weather he would still go. Always went out for evangelism with other members, something I admired in him so much.

Then one day I got information that this my brother who I love and look up to has suffered a stroke and was rushed to the hospital. I took the next available flight down to be with him and we almost lost him.

Today this my brother is just surviving, can't walk unassisted meaning he can't get to church again.
Can't talk very well meaning, he can't keep a job. This is someone who studied engineering.

God reduced my beloved brother to nothing. How can I continue to worship such a God. I don't know how anymore.

I've practically lost my faith

it's easy to be a Christian with a full stomach and a secure future. Check out Christians in Switzerland or France there are certain prayer points that never come up, no enemy or die by fire prayers cheesy we have misplaced priorities thinking God will come down and sole problems that are man made.

Nailed it. This just sums up the problem of Christianity in Nigeria.

EternalBeing:
Something happened this week that shocked me to the marrow and made me to weep profusely for the Body of Christ when I got home. I was in a Bank, and suddenly a vision that the Lord showed me sometimes ago came into reality at an instant. The shock of the realization of the faithfulness and reliability of Jesus made me to exclaim involuntarily. Before I could even think, I said "praise the Lord!" The population of the crowd in the Bank then was at least 80% Christian, yet they stared like "For what? which Lord?" It was this lack of response that jolted me back to reality of the fact that I was in a Bank.

To satisfy my curiosity and really confirm their lack of knowledge and love for the ALMIGHTY GOD that the Christians claim to worship, I turned and faced the crowd and re-echoed "Praise they Lord!" There and then, I received the most rude shock of my life ever; an assuring resounding reverberating answer from some voices that responded with "Allahu Akbar!!!" I said wow! HalleluYAH! Then some smiling Muslim guys came to shake me as if to say, "your Faith is too strong to belong to those useless people, join us, you belong to Islam" We joked and laugh over the occurrence till I left the Bank.

For those that may be quick to say why shout HalleluYAH in a Bank, I told you it was initially a reflex action of joy as a response to sudden realization of HIS faithfulness and reliability. Also, religion has always been and shall always be part of human life because Man did not create himself and can never be self-existent, except for some self-deceiving people that are claiming they own their breathe. Every intelligent people know that Humanity did not and could never have happened by accident. That's why with all the technological advancement of the greatest Countries of the World, they still can never do without acknowledging/celebrating a higher Power. USA enthrones celebrates Jesus/Yahweh, China celebrates Dragon, UAE celebrates Allah, etc. All the greatest and the most intelligent humans on Earth agree that their is God.

Today is Sunday, many have dressed up in their finest clothes to go to the Temples of the Living GOD to worship the great CREATOR of Heaven and Earth. But, it is a very saddening reality that most of them don't know, trust or love the God they claim to worship every Sunday. This current state of Christian Faith is Nigeria is due to 4 reasons:

1. Erroneous perception about "knowing God". Pastors have made it look like it is impossible to practically know and experience God, as if that is reserved for some super humans like them alone. This is a big lie, everybody can know, hear and physically experience God in reality, if they consecrate in irreversible holiness and seek HIM with all their hearts. Jeremiah 29:13 "You shall find ME when you seek ME for Me with ALL your heart."

2. Satan's taunting of Christians to destroy their faith Satan is taunting Christians with the "evil" that has befallen holy Christians in the past. Your faith in JESUS has been subconsciously watered down by mockery of enemies of Christianity that Satan have spoken through to taunt and mock your Faith. They usually point to the likes of the Abuja Kubwua Evangelist who was killed while preaching Christ. They also gave other examples like kidnapped Pastors, Lear Suahibu, the be-headed Arab Christians, etc. They say things like your God that couldn't deliver these holy people that served HIM with the totality of their lives, while still worship HIM? What they and those discouraged by what they say do not realize is that we (both them discouraging us and we that they are discouraging) are all here for One reason: to get the reward of Eternal Life that God originally planned for us all Men. HE want all humanity to live forever, but we each need to prove to HIM that we shall not be ungrateful to HIM if HE empower us to become immortal. Whether you are a Muslim, Christian, Buddish, etc. The singular purpose of every man on Earth is to earn Eternal Life fro the CREATOR by using this short life to prove that we shall not use our eternal Life against HIM if HE grants us immortality. All other religions look up to Christians as role model when it comes to pleasing the CREATOR because we Christians have declared that Nothing can stop us from the loving and being loyal to the CREATOR of Heaven and Earth.

3. Unanswered Prayers as a result of wilderness experience. Wilderness experience is a must for every Heaven-bound Christian. The Israelites had to go through the Wilderness for 40 years before they entered into the promised Land. "Nothing venture, nothing gained" JESUS Christ has freely restored back our Right to earn Everlasting Life back to us. Satan and his demons shall later be destroy in Hellfire, but we human that have joined the Angels to do the Will of the CREATOR of All shall receive reward of eternal Life and live forever. Like it has been explained in the preceding paragraph, the trial that we experience in this World is for one major Purpose, to test us and confirm that nothing would make us to turn our back on our CREATOR, like Satan, when HE finally empowers us to leave forever. Immortality is the goal, and YAHWEH ALMIGHTY that created us is the only One that knows how to make us live forever. Immortality is what we are here in this World to earn. Never never lose focus of that, because devil shall fight you tooth and nail to ensure you turn your back against your CREATOR in order to make you not to get your awaiting reward of eternal Life.

4. The final and the most saddening is self-inflicted unanswered prayers due to refusal to flee from sin. Most Christians of this generation are too selfish and unwilling to leave sin alone. And this has given birth to serious is famine of supernatural occurrences/miracles. Many are fast losing their faith in God because their fellow sinner friend that commits same sin as them gets quicker result when he consults herbalists, demons and use charms. Isaiah 59:1 "Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save, nor His ear too dull to hear. 2But your iniquities have built barriers between you and your CREATOR" Does it annoy you that most Christians and most Pastors are afraid of demons, can't chase out demons out? Does it annoy you that they just collect tithes and offering and can't even heal the sick and raise up the deads like JESUS Christ did and promised that we shall do more? Don't just be annoyed and work in mediocrity, Christianity is practical and very real. For you to automatically become a great Miracle Worker read: https://www.nairaland.com/5234204/why-most-christians-dont-capacity

HOW TO GET AN UNDESTROYABLE FAITH IN CHRIST
When you've physically touched something or somebody, nobody needs to tell you that that thing or person exists. The only way to develop an undestroyable Faith is by physically encountering God. We that speak so shakelessly in Faith do so because we have had real encounter with the Holy One of Israel. If you are not ready to pray relentlessly and do all it takes to prevent evil thoughts from entering your Heart, you can never experience let alone see God. JESUS Christ says in the Book of Matthew 5:8 "Blessed are the Pure in heart, for we shall see God" That is the condition to encounter the supernatural; God. It is very possible to have a pure Heart, just be sincere and always confess to Jesus that you don't want this thought whenever evil thought try to enter. Pray relentlessly and ceaselessly that Holy Spirit should take over your Thoughts and the Source of your Thoughts. Don't stop until HE is established as the sole controller of your thought. It is after this that you shall encounter your CREATOR, and nothing would ever shake you Faith in your Creator again after you experienced HIM. HE is the most awesome experience that could ever happen to anybody. We all that did have one testimony when HE showed up; "LORD this is too much!!!" I have no words perfect for HIM, you will understand when you do, like I did by HIS infinite Grace. HalleluYAH!



We are not worship beings so we have never been close to God, neither was there a time we have high faith in God

People always hinge the absence of God or the insufficiency of Christianity on failures, misfortunes of christians, unanswered prayers, evil in the world and the general observation that the average christian life tends to be no more different than the life of the atheist muslim or buddhist.

People hardly tell muslims to quit or doubt their religion due to unfortunate circumstances. And this i believe is because Islam hasnt sold the idea of an all involved caring supreme being. Thus its a given that God gives and takes. He intervenes when he wishes to and is silent when he wishes.

People continue to worship faithfully; buddha, krishna despite passing through the same conditions christians pass through

Christianity has however sold the message of "the God of the superman" and this always comes back to haunt the faith whenever things go wrong.

The message has recently being about ability to do absolutely anything and triumph in wealth health safety and all.

Its one thing when people cant experience such in their lives but when the pastors that claim to experience it completely are seen helpless in many situations then people begin to question if its really true.

I believe God completely. I just wonder if we have made priorities of things God did not prioritise.

The person you are quoting is not a Muslim but rather maybe an atheist. Muslims hardly make comment on Christians page. Christians are the ones always making unnecessary and unintelligible comments on Muslims page while atheists are the one always on head on with the Christians on Christians page.

Deep.

I think that is the problem with comtemporary Christianity.

I am amazed when Muslims can thank Allah in whatever situation they find themselves. We went to console someone who lost a sibling and she was encouraging us that it was her time to die as destined by Allah and we should leave well.

The Bible promises us old age so how can a Christian mother or sibling accept a young death and not lose faith?

To them, it is as he wills and they take everything in good faith.

Perhaps that's why they also help themselves because they are not waiting on Allah to help them.

The Pastors have tried, though they partly taught errors of receive Jesus and have jolly Life, when Jesus clearly said in this Life we shall see tribulation. It is not true that the Bible promises us old age, wealth and all goodygoodies of Life. We yhe new Christian Generation ought to improve on how far they have brought us. We are responsible to discover more and hand it better to those coming after us. What the Bible promises and guarantees us above all other Religions is that we shall be resurrected to live forever, which supersede any other reward that others may be enjoying in this temporary Life. The Bible did not only promised but displayed it by the resurrected JESUS who History, Science, Quran and Bible agrees to be the only Man to still be alive even after 2,000 Years and still counting.

And this is supposed to be a church. There is something the Europeans doesn't want to tell us about this Worshop of Jesus Christ. Is this a kind of idol worshiping or what?

Why do you seek for validation of Christ’s worship from the Europeans...must the whites be your statutes.

Why don’t you seek Him for you and you alone. David was born before the birth of Christ yet he did exploits.

Jesus said I’m the way, the truth and the life.
Seek Him yourself and stop waiting for the white people, they’ve done their part-propagating the gospel now do your part. Unless of course you harbor unbelief.

Not a good story sis but do you know that if you really and genuinely seek God for your brother, He will be healed.
Remember the story of Job, God allowed the devil to afflict Him in order to show how steadfast Job was.

My cousin was afflicted for 10years with “madness”, the type that meant bounding him in chains, just picture the man with the evil spirit Jesus healed, yeah that kind but his brother went into 40days prayer and fasting, the person confessed and the guy is healed and sold out to God today.

Don’t give up!!!
