I know this man who always sits to read the Holy Bible and after he sleeps on his lazy chair without doing anything. He continuously does this and even in some days he got nothing to eat at his house thereby causing him to go around and beg for food or shelter. He got no intentions to work or make himself useful by repeatinf the samr process over and over again and when you are advise him, all he will says is ,"God will provide , God is the giver of wealth so He will provide".
God will provide? Yes God is the provider and He gives us even what we don't ask for since he knows what's best for us , but do you think you can pass the exam by just sitting in the hall without writing anything but praying the whole period? Of course not, it can happen though but what is the probability that it happens?
Christians as well as other people nowadays do not put in the effort needed to be successful in life or to be reliant on themselves but rather stay lazy or idle and when you are advising them or they will tell you is God will provide I don't say this is not true or God can't provide but, Heavens help those who help themselves. People do not work , they don't put ideas together, they don't strive for their dreams and when they remain broke or poor they tend to blame God for not providing their needs saying they've been praying for a long time but still their prayers haven't been answered but they expect the prayers to be answered while they sleep, become idle , look inactive or don't plan for it . Christians think prayer is the only thing needed but that is not it.
Looking for a job? Instead of going around to search ; moving from place to place and making themselves available for everyone who is willing to employ them or anywhere they will get available (vacant) ,they will sit down and think the job offer will fall from heaven or think someone will just come from a hospital, clinic, pharmacy, bank or anywhere one wishes to work at and just come and tell you that Mr. this or that , I have employed you at my place of work so you will start work tomorrow. Will that happen? (Rhetorical question)..
Students nowadays instead of learning or speaking to their books they stick to prayers and forget their books. Some don't even open them at all and do you know the funny thing? Some of them end up failing their examination..
God is really good and He turns what is bad or good in His special way but there is the need to help ourselves. Instead of learning you stick to prayer . I don't say that God can't provide but this things must be done accordingly.
Pray along learning. Learning without prayer might not help and prayer might not help without learning but by doing both is a description that someone is really prepared for success .
Therefore I say, in whatever you want to achieve we have to initiate it and while in the process we are the God factor or the G factor.
Why don't we sit at home and pray for God to write all examination for us but you rather go to school?Why don't you sit at home and let prayer be the leading change for us to where we pray all day and we will automatically understand all what is in the book ?? Let's help ourselves in everything we want to do. Learn, work, be persistent , dedicated and prayerful and at the end God will be the Master..
Thank you all for your time, it's Dangerous_Fly once again.
NB : Never do I say prayer is not good, but I say that too much of it while there is something to do is bad and also I don't say working is the only way to go in order to be successful but bits of prayer and work makes the perfect combination.
And as you see it in the lead image, the helping hand of God is always there for us but you got to strive to reach it and it is mostly a bit away from where we are so with some small work , Boom we are there...
