It is because men are proud species.

He first humbles you then blesses you.

God wants us to know where we are coming from and where we are going to. God is Knowledge. He is extending to us the privilege to KNOW KNOWLEDGE.

Other Examples:

Israeli out Egypt

Sedrak, Meshak and Abednego out of flaming fire.

Daniel from the Lion Den and

We are all watching how God will soon, very soon indeed, deliver SW, SE, SS & CS MB from the North and Christians including Osinbajo from Miyetti Allah Fulani Hooligans and Muric.

It's sad that the mind of an average person has been so conditioned around money. Is money only the way God uplift pple? (Money is just a creation of mankind as a mean of exchange) This generation needs a character reset!
God is also a creation of mankind..

I'll pass it down to how God works bcuz even seed have to be buried before a plant has to flourish and bring forth multiple seeds in replacement for that single seed that was buried.

Hope you get the analogy

It's not about trust issues, He need us to learn to forsake ourselves. This is because man is fickle and prone to fear. God cannot use anyone who is fearful and unwilling.

doctrine of the Devil from Islamic world, no place Bible said God help those who help themselve. Instead cast all your worries on him,for he is able to bear them all.

It does not follow. This is a mere consolation of the poor people who think that their adversity is for lifting up. Most of the time, the poor in adversity remain poor after the adversity. Take the case of 95% of Nigerians as an example. However, let's give hope to the poor by inculcating this belief in them still.

Everybody actually goes through thesame thing.

To me, it's just that few sailed through by developing themselves.

Majority succumbed to the trial process. It's like going to Europe via the desert route. Nigerian situation

Jesus has already stated, " there will always be poor people in your mist.

Since you are not excited about success, enjoy your poverty.

I will use my life as an example. 2015, APC Governor took over my State. Six months I was not paid and am a Father of two kids. My Wife was working and she stood by me but that was what turn my life around. I started looking for International opportunities and read like my life depends on it. Today am in the UK earning 10 times more than what my State was paying me monthly. Adversities are what GOD use to challenge you into greatness but your actions during adversity depends if you will succeed or not.

(1) SUFFERING IS PROVIDENCIAL.

(2) WISDOM IS EARNED BETTER, IN THE DEN OF SETBACKS, THAN IN THE COZINESS OF VICTORY.

(3) "EXPERIENCE" (suffering), IS THE BEST TEACHER.

(4) EVERYONE WHO IS EXPERIENCING A SPIRITUAL GROWTH, MUST GO THROUGH A "WILDERNESS EXPERIENCE" (suffering).

I have few point's that answers ur question in my yet-to-be-published book "The Wilderness Experience". For more insight, call me...

I have said it nemerous time that prayers aren't answered. I created a thread on this issue. No single evidence to support the claim.

But it gives people hope. when they pray, they believe it will be answered.

I don't have issues with people that work hard and also pray hard. I respect their right to their believes.
