How Christian Is This Prayer Pastor Adeboye Just Posted? by 10mobile: 7:23pm On Nov 16, 2020 |
About 3 hours ago, Pastor Adeboye of Redeemed Christian Church of God posted this story with a prayer that ended it. No matter the fame of any pastor, Prophet, Reverend or whoever, the standard of Jesus Christ remains paramount for Christians. So, I honestly don't think that Jesus Christ would have supported the lesson from the story and the accompanying prayer. However, let me hear from other Christians here. Years ago, I think it was in 1956, I was living with my uncle who was poor but I was poorer. If he had anything, we shared and when there is nothing, there is nothing. There was this day we were very hungry and there was no way food could come at all. Suddenly, a young girl came and said, “My sister said I should give you this pounded yam, vegetable and chicken.” My uncle said “I don’t know your sister. Are you sure”? The girl insisted so we took the food and my uncle said he would look for a gift to give her some other time and she left. 1 Like |

I saw it on Facebook about 5 minutes ago and I just couldn't stop laughing. The prayer reminded me of a man in my community who ate pounded yam meant for someone else during the other person's relative's grandchild ceremony. When it was time for the celebrant to dance round to greet her people and take whatever presents they had for her, she went to the man's (her relative) house and he sent her back saying she didn't bring the usual pounded yam. That's how they got to know that the pounded yam meant for the man was taken to someone else. The other man settle down eat the pounded yam with him family members. But why should any reasonable person eat something that's not meant for him/her in the name of unmerited favor? Pa Adeboye, with due respect sir, this your prayer no follow at all. |

AMEN!!! Wonderful Prayer! Why are you annoyed? Na you kill JESUS? Life is not by Struggle or Gragra! It's a Gift From GOD! It's not by Might nor by Power! By my Spirit says the Lord! Esau and Jacob were still in the womb! When God said Jacob have I Loved ! Esau have I Hated! The Jebusites, the Perizites,Girgashittes, Hitties, Amorites,Hivites and Jebusites were Nations with people in them befor God gave their lands to the Isrealites.. There is Nothing wrong in that Prayer! 1 Like |

donphilopus:My problem with the story (and the prayer) is the callous uncharitable attitude it is promoting. There is nothing wrong with asking for unmerited favor. But I believe that, even God would expect you to be sorry even if he lets you have what should have been another's. Jacob did it, after taking Esau's birthright. |

Unmerited favour has been so ingrained in the psych of most people by our pastors to the extent that so many people don't want to put in work |

It's a shame that these days some men have taken the place of Jesus in the life of some who claim to be His followers. They'd do what such men say even though it goes contrary to the teachings of Jesus and the instructions He gave to us. They forget that it's Jesus that they'd appear before on the last day not any those men, and it's Him that would determine if they make heaven or not. What comes particularly to mind was what an angel said to a Pastor that died as the reason he was supposed to go to hell. The man had died without forgiving his wife who offended him prior to that, and when he was tried to argue with the angel being so sure of himself, the angel reminded him of that, and said, remember what Jesus said. That's what would send many Christians to hell. Their disobedience of what Jesus said because they placed the word of someone else above His. Fortunately for the Pastor, he was given another chance to make amends but not many have that chance. A word is enough for the wise. 1 Like |

Superpower:According to your GO there, it is not stealing if you spend it because it can be seen as His God giving youu some else's miracle. If you mistakenly give you a gift thay belongs to someone else, it is ok to claim it as yours, according to your Daddy GO. God no go vex at all! |

donphilopus: In that story, it was obvious Baba and his uncle did not know that the food was not for them. The uncle told the girl I don't know your sister but she insisted " my sister said I should give you" what was their fault in this? Then, pertaining to that prayer. God said "The riches of the gentiles shall be converted unto you " What does it mean? For example. This is a real story of my life. I am a fountain maker, so I went to a garden owned by a University to introduce my service. When I got there, I saw that a fountain was already being constructed so, I wanted to back off. But something said "go and introduce yourself still" so I did. The curator said "oh! sorry we already have one being constructed but give us your number. If we have another one to do we will call you. Because the person doing this has collected money and refused to complete it" so I left . One day I received a call it was a call from a Professor from another University entirely. They needed to do a fountain and three times bigger than the one the other guy didn't finish. I was told my number was given to him from the other university. That job was supposed to be done by the other guy but for his evil character. He collected money and ran. I finished this big work and the former university called me again to come and complete the one the guy started. The two jobs were not mine and for them to be mine, that guy had to misbehave. His wealth converted to mine. That is the essence of babas kind of prayer. 2 Likes |

WILLuKPquiet:You story no match your claim at all. The riches in question were only promised to the first company only on delivery of service but since it instead absconded without delivering on the first, it lost its chance at getting the "riches". Your company was able to get the promised " riches" in subsequent projects because it delivered on those though. |

2special:Carefully read some of the other verses in the same context, and you will quickly come to realize that you ignored the original meaning when you lifted the one verse out of its context. The first verse in the chapter explains that indeed the entire verse is a song that King David sang to the Lord when God saved him from Saul, and all his other enemies, further explaining the references to foreigners serving him, in verse 45. Those foreigners being slaves acquired from his many wars against their enemies, a position that even the people of Israel have seen themselves occupy over their own history as well.
Now another thing to recall is that the New Covenant, which those in Jesus Christ are under, requires that we love our enemies and pray for (not against them). |

I really don't understand why some arguments exist on this matter.. According to the story, a girl brought some food and INSISTED it was for them even after trying to turn it down that it must have been sent to another address, secondly, this happened on a day that the GO and his uncle had nothing atall to eat which means they were hopeless and must have been praying for such miracle, so is such a blessing a bad one or can't y'all just see it was all God's plan and since He won't come down from heaven to bring the food.. He simply made a way and I see nothing wrong in it. And lastly he might not narrate it but they must have felt some type of way after realizing the food wasn't meant for them but there was a reason they have finished eating it before the girl came back for the food. If you think it's such a bad prayer point then neglect and even reject such blessings in your life and pray only for reward for your hard works but as for me, I pray for such unmerited, underserved, unexpected miraculous blessings and favour in everything I do, all the days of my life. Amen!!! |
