HOW TO MAKE GOD ANSWER YOUR PRAYER

There is a saying that goes thus "if you leave everything in the hands of God, you'd see his hands in evything" I tell you the truth, only a few statements in life are as faulty as this.

This iers a major reason why Nigeria and many religious countries are so crippled economically.

It could be said that this is the reason why we build more churches and less factories and companies. Everyone is made to believe that God will do all they want for them, only a few things in life could be as foolish as this, but we believe it.

I once said that "whenever prayer becomes a religion, exceptional success will always be in doubt." This is evident on our society. Believing God will do everything for you is the beginning of all follies. This is the same reason why we have some who call themselves atheists.

Most of these so-called atheists, based on my conversions with them, are once religious and are made to believe the above statement. They learnt and found out that God don't really do all that you ask of him, thus they blame it on the same God, perhaps thinking the entity called God is only an illusion.

God can do everything, he has done everything, but he won't do everything you ask of him. Ignorance of this will either leave you saying unnecessary prayers in the name of faith or give up on God if you finally find out God won't really do all you ask of him.

Whatsoever is your choice; it does not affect the person of God or make him not exist.

In my local church, there are certain prayer points that when called, I don't pray, this somehow has further convinced a lot of people of how arrogant and spiritually shallow I am, but this is because I understand such prayers are nothing but waste of time and efforts. There are evidences that God has not been answering them, and for certain reason that people should know, he will never answer them.

Prayer is not supposed to be a religious activity, but has become one. Spirituality is now been measured by how long you can pray and speak in tongues, but these does not in any way define spirituality, they are mere religious bragging rights.

Religious people no longer care if their prayers are answered, they just want to be known for praying, they think prayer do all things, they make people believe it and when they don't get what they want, they keep waiting and call it faith.

Ignorance of the word "faith" makes them substitute effective actions for unnecessary prayers.

However, most of these prayers are borne out of fear and their repetition is borne out of lack of faith. With that, they become not only a waste of time, but waste of energy and display of folly.

"Prayer answers all things"

If you believe that quote, you have created limitation for your success already.

People who have succeeded exceptionally didn't achieve their success through fervent prayers alone. They understand that prayer does not answer all things, so they do what they should and pray when they should. Most of them don't even pray at all.

Prayer is a morale booster for those that believe in suspension of their reasoning faculties when following the tenets of their religion.

This does not mean prayer doesn't work, but this goes a long way to prove Jesus right to say "the children of the world are wiser than the children of the kingdom."

Any exceptionally successful person; except want to deceive you in the name of religion to fill his pocket understands that prayer is not the answer to all things. All those that have succeeded under the guise of religion understand this fact too.

Why does God not answer all prayers?

The answer is simple, "for ye are gods". Jesus said human beings are gods, which means they have certain potentials and abilities to god over certain situations just like God does to them.

Thus if there is any situation you should god over and you are praying, your prayer won't be answered, because you have your answers already, but you are blind to them.

I don't pray for people, except it is necessary, I don't tell people "God bless you" which is common among religion leaders and also practiced by their followers, because I know without doubts that God's blessings does not come to a man who only say "Amen" to prayers. If it were so, there won't be any poor person around.

God's blessing comes to those that understand that they have certain potentials and work so hard to realize them. This makes God happy. Doing this brings out the god in them and brings out God's blessings in them, regardless of their religion and whether they believe in him or not. This is evident in a lot of inventors that didn't believe in God, yet succeed.

Just as an inventor will be happy and proud to see his invention perform all its (functions) potentials which he invented it for, so God is happy and proud to see you use that which has given you (potentials) to solve your problem, instead of waiting for a prompt through prayers before you can get to work.

If you leave everything in God's hands, expecting to see his hands in everything, you will always be disappointed. Doing so is telling him to take your place over certain situations he has delegated you to god over.

He's true to his words that you are gods and this is why he will never do for you what he has already given you power and wisdom to do.

Tap into your potentials and be grateful to him.

Does this mean you can do without God?

No one has lived and can without God, whether they are atheists or not. Can a car exist without an inventor?

So regardless how independent of God you think you are living, he is the source of everything you have and are capable of doing. He's omnipotent and delegates some of his potentials to you; this means without him, you can do nothing even as it doesn't require you to keep praying to him for what you want all the time.

You need to understand that you have certain potentials and common sense which was given by God without you asking for them, using them makes God proud. Neglecting these and praying to him all the time for solutions will leave you impotent, both spiritually and economically.

You need to understand that God will not do for a man, what he can do for himself, so it is smart for you to find out those things that God will not do for you and get down to work doing them.

If in the process of doing this, you got confused, then you can pray to God, he's the giver of potentials.

Depend on God to discover your potentials, use them after your discovery; don't wait for God to use them for you. HE WON'T, but it does not stop him from being God.
