Very weak point of approach, I'm not here to talk about giver of strength, if to go that path there will be unending topics... We're talking about prayers and faith here.

Kingsbridge:
it's not about thing moving well, it's about life in general, how can there be someone overseeing all this evil going on currently on earth and he still calm to take certain actions, the good ones are paying dearly with anguish and pains while the evil ones are enjoying this theme of life. Why is it so?
And hey the one that annoys me most is someone repenting at his dying bed and he or she is assumed will make heaven like wtf, after all the atrocities?

Let me give you a more "relevant" scenario.

As a person you loss your parents at your teenage when you were preparing for your higher institution, their death halted that ambition because they were to be your sponsor.
You prayed for a miracle, for a sponsor to show up. You've been dedicated and fervent in your prayers for 10 years and nothing happens. You woke up to reality that prayers aren't making no difference, you quit praying and start working towards sponsoring yourself, you did all kinds of hard labours, saved to achieve your ambitions, after 2 years of rigorous hard labours and saving... You take on your ambition and got your ambition... Can you you attribute this success to prayers or to your hard works? Please be honest and sincere.

Honestly, My Faith is broken, probably beyond repair already. Prayer is just a formality for me because I know nobody will answer. But I envy those with an unwavering faith. They have no idea the kind of peace of mind they got. None of my prayers ever seemed to be answered. I prayed for one thing for years but it only get worse. And now, this year, everything just broke. Years of my life wasted. And God said nothing. He did nothing. I ask the question 'Why?' more than a hundred times every day. I read the book " When God doesn't make sense" by Dr James Dobson over and over again. But I still can't understand why? Why is He always quite. I never believed in Hell, so I am not afraid to leave, but I am already addicted to the idea of God. I just finally choose to live on auto-mode. My life is in my hand now. I don't care anymore. God sees my heart: I am an honest and sincere doubter.

I know I'll get the usual lines "my prayers wasn't answered because of sins" but if I ask what was that sins I won't get an answer.


Why should you pray and work? Where is the God factor in that if your work for it?

Offpoint1:
I asked for honest answers, but you're too afraid to give one. I lost interest in reading your when I start getting a familiar analogy of 6 years old. I'm not a baby to ask for irrelevant things or things I don't need at a time.

You've been very crafty with your answers and I am used to your kind of answers. I needed something different, but I know you'll be too afraid to give.

Kingsbridge:
Am still broken, God existence?
Well will always believe there is a creator and who ever he is i adore and needs his presence around me.

Well, I have told people in the past to go and vote for other parties apart from APC and PDP...and the answer I get is...APC and PDP are strong so I vote for them....

Then they come later and complain about bad governance

Still, democracy works if people put pressure on their leaders at all level to do their job.

Africa is poor due to faith in God!!!

God is a product of man’s crazy imagination

Let paint 3 scenarios and I need your HONEST answer.

1. I prayed for something, no results.ok can you give example on these every prayer has a result its either a no or a yes.like for an example you are a rich dad and you are very wealth you have a 6 yrs old son.now you went to france for shoping and your son prayed to you dad when coming back buy me lexus 350 2020 model.now knowning how wealth you are will you buy it for him to driver when his 6yrs old.
2. I worked for something, I got a results.anybody can work and get result the sun shines to both wicked and the righteous, whoever that sow reaps
3. I prayed and I worked for something, I got results.ya this is the best faith without work is dead when you pray for something there is part you are meant to play.example i prayed for God to give me a job and the next thing i started summiting cv"s to companies he will give it to me.another one i dont sick.i once sick when i was small and i prayed and tell God then that i dont ever want to be sick again and have faith in the finished work of christ by his strip am heal i said to God if you dont fall sick and you dont go to hosipital then me being your child i cant spend my money buying drugs then.so instead of using money to buy drugs i will give it to God and tell him to keep his part of our deal.

Niger delta militant issue was sorted by peace talks and amnesty..which included a heavy dose of rehab and retraining..

IPOB is still ongoing....

Islamic state has been driven out of Adamawa, Yobe, Bauchi, and most of Borno. Now engaging in propaganda of the deed.

Offpoint1:
Too many unanswered prayers, I quit praying and start working more, building myself more, learning more skills and I start getting results and I say what's the point? Everything you prayed for doesn't happen until you work it... then what's the point of the prayers? If I asked my earthly father's stuffs and he continuously doesn't give me until I work for it, what's the point of asking.. let me start working for it since it's more effective than asking for it.

There are too many things we don't want to speak up both Christians and Muslims because we're too afraid of the hell threats... 50 person of humans are serving God out of fear of hell, the rest 50 person are serving God out of personal greed which is promised of heaven.

If you're down at accident scene with injuries, no amount of prayers will save you if you're not taking to hospital for medical attention
In sickness it's still the same
In needs your fellow humans will be at your mercy when you speak or when they noticed the signs.

Maybe the Brain behind our existence Left us to our faith,
Maybe he made us to be our gods by having each others backs

Tareq1105:
I hope they will hear o.

If you're truly called by God, God will not call you to become a beggar. The God that call you will supply aaaallllllllll your needs according to His riches in glory.

Children of perdition will never get it into their skull.

brother, i guarantee you like someone who read all through the bible no rapture in that book, believe me.
I attend a Pentecostal church too, but i don't need to argue that with anyone in my church.

I used to believe there was rapture in the bible until i started reading it myself.

All those scriptures that seems to be like rapture were all refering to something else.
For instance,
Matthew 24 was Jesus listing the signs of his coming to his disciples, there is nothing rapture there.
1 Corinthians 15 Paul explained resurrection of the dead if you read that chapter from verse 35 to the end, there is nothing rapture there

See, all you need to do is, just read the whole chapter and draw a conclusion

Henrydonland:
stupid men of God,talking as if they care if Nigerians are suffering.

This oyedepo of a man is ranked among the richest pastors in the world with private jets and do on with a university that is expensive as hell.

How can a man of God be that rich.

blackpanda:
It's a call to serve not a call to enrichment at the expense of poor followers. When will u guys ever wake up

Bampeh:
Always judge your actions before implementing them. Do to others what you want them to do to you.
If your religion promote killing then you should be killed first.

Love doesn't kill, love doesn't condemn, love doesn't cheat and Love is the true religion











Bampeh is saying the truth.

OkCornel:
The message of the kingdom is about living a Spirit led life, and not religiousity or hypocrisy.


End of discussion.

paxonel:
Rapture is illusion thinking and false imaginations of Christians, there is nothing like rapture anywhere in the bible.

Rather, God created man to live on this earth forever.

Genesis 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

Meaning, if Adam had not eaten from that tree there wouldn't have been death today.

Now that there is death, Christ resurrected so that the life that was lost from the beginning should be restored to them that believe. John 3:16

Christ has restored that life there is nothing you Christians need anymore, he has done it all.

The day died he said : IT IS FINISHED
So, there is nothing left to be done anymore.

Now, you Christians are demanding for rapture, what else do you want?

chaloskyx:
RELIGION AND PASTORS ARE ALSO OUR PROBLEM THEY KEEP AKING US WASTE OUR TIME PRAYING AND HOPING GOD WILL CHANGE NIGERIA MEANWHILE THEY KNOW OUR PRAYERS WOULD DO LITTLE OR NOTHING THEY FAIL TO TELL US THE REAL POWER RESIDES IN WE THE PEOPLE BUT CAUSE THEY NEED US TO BE COMING TO CHURCH GIVING OFERRINGS AND SOWING SEEDS FOR A MIRACLE THAT WONT COME THEY WONT TELL US THE TRUTH

lamentor78:
Basically and by divine design Nigerians are naturally stupid.
A man has used his sweat to create an empire in Christ
Build Universities without government influence
Employed lecturers in University
Employed teachers in primary and secondary schools.
Employed pastors in Church branches
But Nigerians still want him to be poor or should be giving them palliative
Some said the university is expensive but the want the lecturers not to go on strike and hotels and other amenities on the school to me of standard is the money going to come from heaven
The useless politicians they will line up in the sun and vote for will only give the 2k before election to spend for 4 years but is pastors that is there problem

He's so caring, kind, handsome, a good pay Job n from a humble home, I can't deny the fact that I Love him.

But the issue is that he's a Muslim while am a christian lady.

Pls house does religion matters in marriage

Simplyleo:
Chidiebere Uzoma and Uchenna Nwegbu are ipob animals. They both sat down, incubated and hatched a plan to gang rape a 16 yr old.

I'm very sure if you asked them questions, they will either put the blame on Tinubu or Buhari.

The illiterates will either tell you it's because Tinubu embezzled their money or Buhari doesn't want to approve the existence of online country.

As stupid, weird, unconnected and illogical as this defence may sound, you will be shocked this is how typical ipob miscreants reason.

Tell them how foolish they sound, they come at you with all sorts of noise and weapons.
