akintom: The mistake I have observed is that of people like this vice minister or whatever believing that their titles entitles them to anything in Christ. ..... it is your walk with Christ that determines what you manifest. If all the while you have not built your faith on healing you can have it on the day of battle.......you don't prepare on the d day you do your prepaprstion before the day. You must grow you faith on a particular issue before you prayer for the hand of God on that subject ...........for instance , some people speak in tongues without power delivery because they have not understood what it means to speak in tongue. The Orthodox Church has not been effective in inculcating the power dimension of the scripture to their folks and in times of crisis , they praye because the Bible says we know how to pray but don't know what we ought to prayer for as we ought to |

ApostleT:but the question is - must you get killed or kill an innocent child, because of the illusion of prayer that changes nothing? In the event that you complicate your health conditions, because you relied on prayer, instead of Medicare, you burden your relatives who have their lives to live. That's act of willful wickedness. In the event that you get killed because you chose to drink olive oil, instead of medications. You then live behind wife and children who will suffer, because a deluded father messed them up.

Three set of people on the view of prayers First set: strong adherents that prayers is the key to reaching a Divine personality Second set: carefree people who believe you pray because it makes u religious and not necessarily potent as the first believes it to be. Third set: those that strongly insist that prayer is nothing but empty words from deluded persons.

This is a fact, because i had alot of friends in christian fellowships, most of them have either lost faith or just hold on for faith's sake... Even in MSSN, the muslim society, alot of brothers shaved off their beards, sisters stopped wearing jilbabs when they found no one to marry them.... So what are you saying baba 10 Likes 3 Shares |

Yes prayer changes alot of situations and it makes great impact and difference. It was in my case wen i was very sick in my adolescent time. I was injected wrongly n bcame parralysed. I was booked 4 opperation due to my heavy swolen bottock, but instead d doctor postponed d opperation because he observed dat swelling was still full of blood n has not yet turned purse. And i was in constant serious pain, I cant seat nor sleep. I missed a term plus in sch. But dat day dat d doctor told us to go back home, my parents prayed fervently in d mid night because they cannot bear d pains i wea going through. Lo and behold dat night d pain dissapeared n d swelling started going down gradually untill my led returned to d normal size as d other. No more hospital no more opperation. My dear pple, GOD answers prayers till 2day. akintom: 10 Likes |

Setaje: you wanna know what a real miracle and test of prayer and faith really is? let's get an amputee, gather all popes, bishops, pastors, apostles to pray for the leg to grow back there's a reason our churches send Instant noodles, Spaghetti, Cocoa Beverages to orthopaedic hospitals if an amputee comes to their crusade they won't even bother paying any attention to them because they know nothing would happen, why is that so impossible for prayer to do? We can spend all year discussing this fraud called church miracles but I will make it simple. In what situation does one need God's intervention and a miracle? Definitely in situations where man is helpless. Do I need prayers to get a wife? NO Do I need a miracle to get a Job? NO A Real need of miracle is to see amputated limbs grow not headaches cured. A real need of a miracle is to demand a beheaded man be resurrected not someone in coma coming back from coma. Why are people praising God? Where is the miracle? With millions people who get one part or the other amputated every year, why is it that we don't see at least ONE just ONE amputee 's limbs growing back just once in 10years? But every sunday around the world hundreds of millions of christians are sharing testimonies of God's miracles Yet NOT ONE amputee even just once in 30 years! 15 Likes 4 Shares |

Thanks for the post. Truely, all cases you posted may be true/false. But we'av heard serious cases like that. The Almighty God remains the Living, True & Everlasting God- Jer.10:10. The Holy Book confirms to us that this awesome God is Sovereign, He resides in Heaven & do as He pleases- Psalm 115:3. He is unquestionable.

It's not a hidden fact that Medical Doctors have a huge number of Atheists amongst them, I mean, they see how ineffective prayer is in the face of death on daily basis. When the Bible has already said that we should ask and we shall receive. Brother, I do not wish you to remain in the dark as long as you act out of ignorance. I put up this information not to argue, but to save the weak and potentially gullible. The reading below is for any human made in God's image, who is being manipulated and influenced by the means of the media to believe that THERE IS NO GOD. Note that God gives up people to a reprobate (stubbornly foolish) heart, who after having undeniable proofs of His existence chose to sell their souls to Satan by denying His existence and propagating such to sway others. 1 CORINTHIANS 1 18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. 22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: 23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. 25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength. 26 Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28 God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, 29 That no flesh should glory in his presence. ROMANS 1: 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; 19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. [b]20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, [/b]23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. |

akintom: Prayer isn't an illusion it is a communication with God. Nigerians recently protest President Buhari's absence there was call that he should resign. That isn't illusion. Will he resign? That's up to him to decide. I use this example because Buhari is some sort of higher power in Nigeria. You still don't understand death from a Christian perspective. I lost my wife at a very young age to something that could easily be cured medically but there was no symptom for us to know she was suffering with this condition until post-mortem showed the cause of death. Did we pray? yes we did, despite one of the best medical cares in the world, she was gone within an hour. It was like a system shutting down. It was like a massive heart attack and that's what everyone (- paramedics, air ambulance crew, etc) treated but it was just the symptom of the final stage. Answers to prayer is not predetermined by the person praying, it is God who would either grant or reject a request. But whatever God decides to do. He's done it in the best interest of my late wife and his love for our family. It is painful and we miss her daily but then we know she's with the Lord - free from pain, stress and care of this world. And one day we shall meet again. If you loose your faith because of your lack of understanding of prayers then you are quite foolish because death at whatever age is always painful to the family of the deceased. But our hope is not only in this world but in Christ and we can rejoice despite the pain. 3 Likes |

Prayer work for me more than anything especially when I combine it with fasting, in uncountable times. It is a give to me that when ever I do fasting I will receive an answer. In fact 90% of my prayer and fasting are answered not exaggeration. I have noticed that even devil is aware of this great gift from God to me that he always try as much as he can to stop me from fasting whenever I face challenges. The problem is that I always fine it difficult to do fasting but whenever I make up my mind to fast I am always sure of a positive answer. My wife have noticed this gift that whenever we challenge he will be begging me to do fasting though it is not always easy for me but whenever I make up my mind I am always sure of answer and a direct answer not even an answer u will be contemplating weda na God do am. The number of time I have fasted and receive an answer is uncountable. The funny this is that I am not the over holly type though everyday I strive to improve. I have received many direct answers that made my to share tears especially I noticed that I don't deserve it because I am not holy. Though I am not holy but I will never deny the existence of God. I will never the testimonies I have receive. I pray that if I will denny God 2moro may he take my life today. Till today it still surprise me why God answers my prayer more than some of my church members who are more righteous than I am. 1 Like 1 Share |
