Smartguyboy: All you see, hear and read is not all there is. 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. 10 Likes |

Yes... What is faith? Faith is the substance of things *HOPED* for (not prayed for) and the evidence of things not seen. 6 Likes |

Faith needs serious maintenance... You must believe in something. Elon Musk is an atheist and strongly believes in something he has faith in and secretly worships it... This is applicable to so many other rich men in the world. Faith without good works ( including prayers) is dead |

Prayer and mountain moving faith without hard work is useless and the 'K' in a knife |

There is a principle that works for both believers and unbelievers... And that is working and getting reward for your labour. Must you be a believer before you earn salary? No. What makes Faith effective is Work and not Prayer. That's why the Bible said, Faith without Work is Dead. The Bible didn't say Faith without Prayer is Dead. Unbelievers have more money because they Work more and have seen to add more value to our daily living than Believers. How many believers own Electric cars? How many believers own Multinationals? Our only advantage is that Prayer which helps us connect to God for directions 2 Likes |

I believe so.. I think generally...we don't need more prayer to succeed.. we only need to have big faith... Here in the west, basic amenities are in place for citizens... you rarely see people go to church to pray for job or connections... Here it's called a place of worship not prayer... But in Africa, the government job is to show citizens shege pro max... so the average Nigerians believes you have to pray out ur way to have a good life... Prayers works but if you move out Africa... u will realise you only need to pray a little and hav big faith... 1 Like |

Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” Not all things need prayer but obidience. Prayer needs faith. Since Faith comes by hearing the word of God,to put faith to work you need to work toward the faith. |

Prayers have no role whatsoever in what happens in life. Prayers are just a waste of time. You can make it while being prayerful and you can also make it without praying. It boils down to time and chance. Natural selection. 1 Like 1 Share |

Smartguyboy: 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. 1 Like |

Smartguyboy: 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. 2 Likes |

Being prosperous have nothing to do with your religion.... That's why you see that most rich people do not necessary carry their religion on their heads. To be rich is simple, find a problem provide solution and sell it it to people about how it will make their life better. Spiritualism ,on the other hand, helps keep your soul connected to your God/god. The problem with so many Africans is that, we serve God for the wrong reasons, mostly which are material base and when we don't see these things probably because we have nothing to sell or do not have the right skills to bring about solution to people which will transcends to money, we begin to think God is not answering our prayers or that there is a bigger force to fight, so we pray more instead of selling more. Have you noticed that the poorest among the poorest are the most religious? For me, the more religious you are, the more you excuse yourself of every action you would have taken... You will want God to do everything, some even expects God to get them a job even from where they didn't submit CVs... I have heard this weird testimonies in church and I don't believe them.... God is not a magician... As long as life exist, there is seeds time and harvest time... The seed is action, the harvest is a consequence of your action 5 Likes 2 Shares |
