God listened to them? It seems you don't actually care what God says at all, do you? You seem instead consumed with twisting the narrative just so it can suit your private delusion.

Nowhere in the context does mention God hearing anything from them. Rather what is stated is that they turned away from their evil and that was enough to change His plan to execute them.

Jonah 3 (KJV)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
⁴ And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.
⁵ So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.
⁶ For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
⁷ And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water:
⁸ But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.
⁹ Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?
¹⁰ And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.

1. Think properly and understand scripture before quoting it — your own advice
When God said that which Paul quoted in his epistle in Romans 10, God, in fact, said it in reference to His people, Israel, and you know what God in fact said? Well, see the below passage.
And as Jesus Christ, the Rock referenced in that passage from Isaiah, explained in His Gospel,
■ those of the sinners of Israel who live in disobedience(sin) of His teachings and commandments are of their father, the devil, whereas, only those who choose to live their lives in continuous submission to His teachings and commandments, God's Truth, will eventually through a knowing of the Truth be set free by the Truth and transformed into Sons of God - John 8 vs 31 - 44.
■ those who trust (Love) the Lord are those who live their lives in continuous submission and obedience to His teachings and commandments — the righteous— they are the ones God's love is stored up for - John 14 vs 15 - 23 & John 15 vs 7 - 11.

God no be any man mumu!

2. Indeed, Jesus Christ will not cast out even the goats in His Kingdom as He leaves the judgment of all things until the end after He returns to judge all the sheep and goats in His Kingdom - Matthew 25 vs 31 - 46.

3. Again, think properly and understand scripture before quoting it — your own advice
Here are important things to get from the above passage
■ God's intention was to destroy the city of Nineveh; We read of God destroying other cities/Nations in like manner as a result of their evil doing. His ruling against Nineveh or any of the other nations has nothing to do with His Law which He gave for individuals to live by.
■ The King of Nineveh took a gander when he proclaimed fasting throughout the land in hopes that it would quell God's anger.
■ In verse 10 however, what quelled God's anger against them was not their individual fasting but instead that the city as a collective stopped doing evil which was God's complaint against the people...
God did not answer the prayer of the Ninevites nor did God care much for their rituals. The people changed from doing evil to no longer doing evil .... that was what caused God to stay His anger against them.

Now finally, listen to yourself!
GOD listened to them, right?
Yes!!
When?
After they fasted and repented.
So never say again that GOD cannot answer the prayers of anyone.
GOD is a merciful GOD, and does not do or act the way man does.

That's all.
Goodnight.

1. Please stop lying! The same God who you claim answers your prayers said

■ He does want, and never asked for any of your starvation-diet fasts and prayer rituals. He ought right declared that He does not answer when you do these things pretending you do so in His name - Isaiah 58 & Zechariah 7. So are we to believe here and now that God is instead a liar?
■ God said that He does not answer the prayers of sinners, making it known that the prayers of the unrighteous are an abomination to Him. What this all means is that so long as you are not first holy, and then righteous, God will never answer any of your pleas, not even your seeks for the forgiveness of your sins. And no amount of your fasting rituals can cause God to change His mind since He already made it known that those rituals hold no meaning. So, again, are you certain you are connected to the right God?

And the same GOD said, whosoever calls upon the name of the LORD shall be saved.
He also said, whosoever comes to Him He shall in no wise cast out.

Think properly and understand the Bible before quoting.

When the men on Nineveh, who do not even have any idea of the GOD that Jonah came to proclaim about humbled themselves, fasted and prayed, did GOD not hear them and changed His mind and turn away the evil proclaimed against the land and its inhabitants?

You don't decide GOD'S next move, choice or decision by your self righteousness my friend.

1. Oh, it most definitely is! Look around you at the populace... majority waits for his turn to chop clean mouth in that country, same as their leaders.

2. Una dey too like whine una self. What did the one man do when given the opportunity to make a difference at any level? What did the other accomplish at the grassroots level to show that he is any different from the others who were given power? Abegi make we hear word o'jare!

That's it… people look at the face, but GOD searches the heart.

Go make your research.
I won't argue with your type long.

Kobojunkiee:
1. For a country to churn out good leaders, they people need to be of equally good quality. I say that to mean that what you have as leaders is nothing but a reflection of the kind of people that Nigerians are in general.

Point of correction, the kind of leaders Nigeria has or produced is not a reflection of who the people are.

What was someone like Osinbajo pushed aside for?
Why didn't people value candidates like Professor Pat Utomi?
Is that a reflection of who you are?
What could you have done about it?
So, if that defines you, it doesn't define me.

Bad Boys looking good in Dior o o o…

NCAN over to you guys.

Rubbish…

If anyone prayed for a better country, and you think GOD didn't answer, check yourself.

For a country to be better, you'd need the leaders to be better.
If it's about social amenities, Nigeria is not broke to afford them. But are they on the right scale? No.

So, if you have been praying for Nigeria to get better, in whose hands are the "betterment" you are praying for landing?
When the"betterment" lands, are they utilizing them?

So, if you pray, you watch as well.
Don't pray like an hypocrite.

What's yours there?

If you're not married or without children yet, better start praying hard now against barreness.

Never judge a man by his present situation.

And the people were happy then… until now that things went down before they regretted their actions.
Now, Libyans are back to square one.

Do away with tribalism.

GOD is mystery.
If you haven't seen him in action, you won't understand.
Not everything is all about money or riches. But there are some acts of GOD that will wow you.
Be a believer, not an unbeliever.

And remember, GOD made nature and He alters and controls it.

donbenie:
Yeah?
Where was that same God,when his believers were being massacred in his house and presence?

The issue with people like you is that, you just want to attack without observing what you say, because you are just looking for occasion against the Christians' GOD, faith and belief, and to make mockery and blasphemy against the same.

As Christians, we knew these attacks are imminent.

Well, I have a few Biblical replies to your question.

John 16 (KJV)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
¹ These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.
² They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
³ And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
⁴ But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.

John 15 (KJV)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
²⁰ Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
²¹ But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.

Matthew 10 (KJV)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
¹⁷ But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;
¹⁸ And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.
¹⁹ But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
²⁰ For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.

Matthew 24 (KJV)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
⁹ Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
¹⁰ And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

Revelation 2 (KJV)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
⁹ I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
¹⁰ Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
¹¹ He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.

“I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.”
— Revelation 2:13 (KJV)

Revelation 6 (KJV)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
⁹ And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
¹⁰ And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
¹¹ And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

And to those who think they glorify GOD by shouting it, the LORD also has this to say to you:

“Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.”
— Isaiah 66:5 (KJV)

Are you aware six people died in the same accident ?. So we bless him for saving one life and overlook the six that died , I wonder who has done this to us in Africa

JESUS CHRIST said,
“Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.”
— Matthew 6:34 (KJV)

If GOD gives you the grace to see another day, thank Him for it because, it's not everyone that will receive such grace.

Blessed be the name of the LORD who has given you the grace to see another day.
