It takes a lot of faith to do what Elon Musk does. The question is faith in what or who?

Whatever the answer to the above question is requires maintenance. That maintenance becomes a form of prayer.

I am not speaking for Christianity. All I'm saying is that even atheism requires a lot faith to believe in nothing.
you just tied the knot 🪢

Rich men who don't go to Church belong somewhere they will not divulge. Atheists don't believe in God but they believe in nature and appl its principles, which means that they are under satan control. As a christian or even a muslim, if you do not pray very hard, omo your life will be totally messed up, no two ways about that, Muslims praying five times a day are not fools and Christians that are so powerful in prayer know that without it, they will be tossed up and down like football.
this is a lie riches has nothing to do with religion or satan. they are Christians that cant afford 3 square meal per day and Christians who are own private jets, likewise Muslims and atheists'..

don't deceived, your life being hard or easy has nothing to do with your religion.. so many things play a factor...

Its better to know the bible for yourself, spend more time reading the bible, i recommend Audio bible, if you don't have the patience to read.

Spend time with God, so you can grow in your faith. smiley smiley

How do you see your God, is God there for money making or is God there for much more.

what do you want to hear?
Do you know Elon Musk ? why reason that he doesn't pray or doesn't have faith or doesn't go to church?
Does being rich implies that your prayer are being answered?
And what exactly do you mean by progressing in life? You seem to equivalent it to being rich in terms of money.


As a Nigerian church have made people to believe without prayer you won’t make it in life .

If satan control you and you reach 70-80 years do you know you have fulfilled your purpose on earth?

He is actually right. It take more faith to believe God doesn't exist, than to believe he exist.

The prosperity gospel is really failing people.
Dear, read your Bible. God never said that you should pray if you want to make it in life money-wise. God told Adam to develop the garden, prayer wasn't part of the deal. Cain built a city when he had no prayer life, the descendants of Cain were prosperous, the Egyptians were rich, the Amalekites, the Assyrians, the Babylonians and the Romans, all very rich empires yet they didn't pray. How about prostitutes? They need prayers to get many clients?
Prayer is just the communication between the children of God and God, it is about invoking the will of God and asking for his bread. The bread of God is different from money, it is everything you need to fulfill your destiny; it may includes some money but don't count on it, some Christians will get very little money, some will get some, some will get a lot, you don't know where you will fall, it will also include the favor to find an occupation, a job or business where you'll thrive without torment and where you'll find opportunities to serve God, people from God that will love you and partner well with you, joy and health always unless God allows a disease to try you, and the grace of God whenever you'll face hurdles. But prayer won't necessarily give you a lot of money. If you want money, go look for something you can produce or services you can deliver, that people will want to purchase.
The only exception is if you are cursed with poverty. Then you will have to seek God to remove the curse first. But for people who aren't cursed with poverty, they just have to work smart to get money, prayer is not required.

Faith can work without prayer, but prayer won't work without faith!

I have so much entertained this question so many times.

Listen dear, Faith is the utmost of all spiritual virtues. The greatest problem in Christian life is not prayers. Christians pray so much, but the problem is our attitude after prayers. Most of us still get overwhelmed by the sight of our problems and thereby loosing faith.

Some people are blessed with the gift of Faith in that even if they don't pray, their hearts are on what God says and as a result they believe until they see results.

Someone like me always loose faith especially when my prayer life drops. Guilt of prayerlessness always hunt down my faith, and this is an error.

Prayer should be a regular thing though because it is a path that leads to our relationship expression with God, and prayer fashions our spirit man to hear and obey God. But its not my prayers that makes God send rain and sunshine in their due time. Its not my prayers that makes day and night appear without irregularities. All these happen with assurance because they are sustained by the infallible word of God Hebrew 1:1-3

Faith on God's word is the great pull that draws down realities from the spirit world.

Prayers and the knowledge of God's word sustains our boldness to believe on what God has finished for us on the cross of calvary and His resurrection
That the same issue I am having I don’t even know how to pray but sometimes I just loose faith but I have this believe what will happen will happen.
I forgot the place in Bible either David or Solomon said our faith has been decided already we can’t change it .

Do you only makes demands from friends or your friendship is built on mutual understanding?
The father of all those having faith is called "Abraham" {Romans 4:9-11} he doesn't make demands the way misinformed churchgoers do today! smiley

I do not know much, but let me correct some notions please.
The belief that what will happen will happen is not for believers in Jesus Christ. Mathew 18:18 proves that we have the power to decide what happens. The earth is a playing field and you don't just sit and watch the ball goes wherever it decides. If what will happen will happen, we have no need for faith and prayers. I do not allow any happening around me that is not what God has spoken concerning me.

Secondly, our destiny truly has been decided in Christ. It cannot be changed but can be twisted, delayed or corrupted by the devil. I chatted with a guy that believed he was destined to be a gay and made him to understand that it is a destiny corrupted by the devil while he was in the womb. God did not create anyone with such a perverted sexuality. A man's business can be subverted from progress to programmed losses.
Great men do not joke with their secret places of prayers, where they stand and transact their destinies with God's words. Declaring the words as the Holy Spirit gives them utterance.
