If you check my previous posts you will know that I a Christian. I HAVEN'T LOST MY FAITH OOO but I just feel like we humans are alone in this world and God doesn't give a damn. People are dying and the wicked are rich and happy. Pastors with jets and stuff(ALTHOUGH MY PASTOR LEADS A SIMPLE LIFE AND IS NOT MATERIALISTIC, I LOVE HIM THOUGH).

Life has not been fair.. My parents are against my basketball career, they sent me to school but I haven't paid my fees and I'm with ten NAIRA presently.

I pay my tithes but has not happened since January 2018. I have a book where I record every single Kobo I get and I have calculated that as a student since July 2016 I have paid about 30k in Tithes from my pocket money. I'm not against Tithing tho but it's it funny that when bad happens we are blamed but when good happens we thank GOD. Like the situation I'm zamfara now, one journalist was blaming the Governor but during Jonathan's time she was blaming the president. When it is bad it's the governor bit when it's good it's buhari . It's hypocritical.


So I went and used my last but one card (200) to buy food and I perfectly avoided the woman and didn't pay for the fried rice. As I was walking home I felt guilty. I went back and told her that I didn't pay and now left with N10 till next week . No easter celebration.

I don't know why GOD will let the corrupt guys who already have money to steal more money and not strike them dead but the guys with clean hearts don't win elections.





I still have a lot to say but I don't want the writ to be too lengthy.

I AM STILL A BELIEVER THOUGH.

You are your own problems. From the first boldened part, you can see that no matter how many persons that are doing wrong things, there will still be few/some that will stick to the rules.
The second boldened part clearly shows you are probably confused. While pay tithe? Are you working? You collect money from your parents and give pastor, does it make sense to you.

Hey man.

You are not alone.

Just know that you're still way better than most "God-loving" fanatics out there. . .

Come to think of it. . .your conscience made you go back to the food seller, even though you had already perfected your escape.

Don't think too much about "bad" people prospering. . .unless you want to join them.

Find a path.
Find a mentor.
Be around the people you want to become, and. . . .

You don't have to meet him physically to learn from him.

Social Media is a tool.

Use it to your advantage.

Most times we get too worried and forget that all we'll ever need is right in front of us.

Have you not seen young artist make drawings of popular people and change their destiny within hours??

We're in a global village man, you just have to be loud enough for the world to see.

Some of them who are now atheists thought so, when they were are the "starting to doubt" stage of the disease, so don't be so sure if the "starting to doubt" symptoms has started to surface in your head.

But it's a good thing you returned to pay for those stuff though, it showed you have some conscience at least, and that may be useful to you at some stage.

I perfectly understand you. However, I think you have been caught cup in the deception of this age within the church of Christ and you have been playing directly or indirectly RELIGION!

1. Christianity isn't about what you get from God but about what you give to your fellow human beings
2. After salvation, your core duty is to upgrade your spiritual CGPA Nothing more Nothing less.
3. In the course of upgrading your spiritual CGPA, you will encounter challenges both NATURAL and SPIRITUAL enough to almost steal your FAITH.
4. In this times of your EXAM, the Father seldom lift up HIS hands to help you (for you are in your exam hall)
5. Death isn't evil (whichever method it takes) it signifies the end of your exam.


Beware of doctrines that turn Christianity away from Relationship into Religion

I can explain any issue you have with the above. Shalom!

About your Basketball!
Finish your basic education first. The world is a risky place: you need something to fall back on if things go south. There is not one guarantee that if you invest your best in basketball you'll amount to anything. The best sportsmen in the world are not known. Success is a combination of skill, hardwork, location, timing, connection and grace. If any of this is missen, you are on your own.

Then, concentrate!
Make your academics full time and basketball part-time until your first degree when basketball can now be your first priority. This is important because, a single injury can end a sportsman's career. You need good backup. It's a time-tested principle of war!

There is nothing wrong in following your passion. But use the principle of War. There isn't nothing like burning the bridge behind to get to success. Success depends on many other things asides skill and hardwork!
