When are we ganna start having faith and believe everything that happened to us is from God instead of blaming one person in our village or neighborhood

Nowadays, our kids will start pointing fingers on his/her enemies in class for their failure.

Isn't God the owner of our souls?

I tell u! I think the average person would rather blame someone else for his predicament.

Most problems require only wisdom to get solved. And what separates a problem from its solution is, knowing what to do. When one does not know what to do, he resorts to pointing accusing fingers.

No worry, we shall come off that age/era soon.

You tell him what. Space booker.

Spirituality is part of our way of life in Africa, especially we Black. It is just like you now asking " Why Do White people Believe Their Problems Are Medical? So as Africa, we have a way of life, I mean ways at which we solve/tackle our problems before the white people came to invade us.

They do so because they lack Knowledge. Thats why their mentality is so low.

Because the spiritual controls the physical

Because we are Africans. We are not Europeans or Americans. We are who we are. Africans/Blacks got problems. Both spiritual, economical, political and mentally. The biggest problem of the black race is insincerity.

That s the african mentality... Going to various spiritual houses for simple problems basic wisdom and daily prayers can solve.

Lack knowledge as in how ?

The height if hypocrisy is when and African thinks or reason like the Op.
Spirituality is part if our live styles here. That is how we are wired. It is in our DNA and nothing can change that.
A typical African born and breed in Africa will believe in Juju whether he/she likes it or not.
Take for example, as you're about stepping out of your house this morning, you met a Calabash with egg and feathers cover in Red Oil. The first impression from an African will be totally different from either an European or American.

Not everything that happens is from God. If one drinks and drives and accident occurs, it is not from God. Or just reckless driving from a learner.

There are several sources of negative happenings. Devil, evil agents, ourselves(carelessness), nature etc.

Pls fellow nairalanders..... My question is.... What is the relationship between church and serving God. Must one go to church to serve God. Is it a sin not going to church?

We were taught to believe that God is aware of anything thats happening to us be it good or bad.

Should I say my not getting rich like dangote isn't from God? Should I blame devil for no giving me money ? Who do we call when we are in problem? Why do we call God if everything that happens isn't from Him

They dont know the real truth.

I believe God is everywhere if you are ready to call him with one mind.

Not until we go to mosque/church before we can serve God. But we have this mentality of taking our men of God as our own God.

This men of God aren't doing what they are preaching for us to do. Some of them preach about love but they hate their neighbors including their dogs. They preach about giving alms to the poor but they embezzle offerings fund without helping the needy within them.

I don't need to go to church/mosque before I serve God. I blv my 'own' God is everywhere . but I don't know about others

Please explain further what you mean by " real truth " ? As I will like to learn from you.

No be by force to go church.

Oyibo man talk say, the end justifies the means

Op there are actually problems which are spiritual

and some personal ones can also be traced to spirituality . African is a spiritual continent and our founding fathers did so much evil that is hurting us today



How can you explain every white folk do things you try it 100 times here you keep failing? We must settle the spiritual aspect first before we can talk about personal mistakes!!

I personally call God when i am in need.

God gives wealth. Man can also decide to become rich on his own and it will happen..

Does God make choices for us ? No! If one decides to stay poor, God wont do anything about it.

Talking about wealth, grabbing opportunity is all about getting rich. The break to wealth happens in a twinkling of an eye(often hidden in or preceeded by discomfort) Most people do not see the opportunites when they surface.

still on "not everything that happen is from God"
No matter the situation we meet ourselves, God is aware. Nothing will happen in ones life without the will of God.

Not everybody will be rich, some will be poor no matter how hard they work. Nobody will make a decision to stay poor but I believe our destiny is tagged along with our future.

This is what happens when you in a third world primitive society where large chunk of the population can't learn themselves out of religion and false illusion such as spirituality. Ask them if they ever seen spirit or god,answer would be No,so why link your own self challenges to an unknown?
