LET THAT SINK IN.

That statement (everything happens according to God's will) is false.

God has a will and man have a will also. Man is a free moral agent (have the ability to do right or wrong). Man can do what ever he likes here on earth. If you look at the Lord's prayer, there is a part that says "God's will be done on earth, as it is in heaven". So that strictly says not everything that is happening here on earth is God's will. And that is why on the last day, God will judge everybody according to there works.

Many of the things that you mentioned are clearly not God's will but men that choose to do evil. Everybody has a choice, to do good or evil, and each has rewards and consequences in equal measure (it may be instant or be delayed)

I implore you to seek to know God more and don't be hasty to come to conclusions without understanding both sides of the coin.

There is no biblical personality that didn’t have one trial or the other. “ for your light afflicatikns are for his glory. Long suffering is one of the fruits of the spirit. Sadly, many Christians today don’t understand this and are very impatient.

This is disgusting to think that God would allow trials to make us humble or whatever...so, The children that are killed everyday, God allowed it to make their parents humble right?? abi is it not the same God that blessed the parents with the children?? you guys are making Christianity look shit because of illogical statements everywhere... this disaster, rapes and terrorism have no justification whatsoever no matter how u try to use scripture to defend it.

If you don't have a meaningful alternative to a Christian believe stop displaying your ignorance publicly.
Proof to the Christians that you have a more logical meaning to life with facts and stop contradicting your self.
That you don't believe on Christian values doesn't mean it doesn't exists
You believe in Nothing, others believe in God so?

Be soft, do not let the world make you hard. Do not let the pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. It’s easy to be angry and hate someone. But remember, if God can forgive you, you also can forgive them.

People are constantly changing and growing. Do not cling to an outdated assessment that you hold of someone.

Life is like an ocean. It can be calm or still, rough or rigid but in the end it will end in PRAISE.


Remember Mistakes are painful when they happen but years later a collection of mistakes is what is called Experience.


Nothing is permanent in this Wicked World of ours, Not even our troubles. U will have the last laugh, cheers

you are utterly stupid���

On the contrary..he has good level of natural intelligence...Note:I have a strong conviction in God


Almighty God is not limited to written words...But if you know.. you know..

oluwaseyi000:
There is no any trial and tribulations, Christan should stop the victim mentality, there is absolutely nothing that ever happen to Christians to never happen to non-christian, when a Christian do not have a child, it's God testing him, if a non-christian is barren it is God punishing him? If a Christian die in accident God knows all thing, if a non-christian dies it is a result of his sins, religions keep manipulating simple logic

You been a Christian on a plane does not reduce your chances of having a plane crash - ask pastor bimbo odukoya- while been a non Christian doesn't increase your chances either

We are all subject to nature -EQUALLY

You lack the basic understanding.

It means when you face challenges due to your believe. E.g Not getting a job cos you are Christian
Facing persecution etc

Christians with their cry cry victim mentality, traditionalists and atheists are mostly the sects that face challenges due to believe which is mostly carried out by Christians, how many Christian will readily employ an amadioha worshipper, yet you people turn and cry at slightest opportunity and claim victims for the very crime you regularly commit, facing persecution ko, backing persecution ni

He doesn't take pleasure in people's sufferings, but he's omniscient God,knowing the end from the beginning; nothing takes him unaware

The people that invented religion have completely finished us

pinkpearl17:


I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”

John 16:33 NLT

One of the most important part of being a Christian is knowing that it does not make us immune to life's troubles and struggles.

As Christians, God never promised us a hitch-free ride all the way. In fact, the scripture says, many are the afflictions of the righteous but the Lord delivers them from it all. It is easy for us to question the goodness and greatness of God when things go awry.

You can still be doing things right and suffer.
Therefore, those who are ill-treated and suffer in accordance with the will of God must [continue to] do right and commit their souls [for safe-keeping] to the faithful Creator.

1 PETER 4:19 AMP

So yes, why does God allow us go through trials? Does it mean He does not love us? Certainly not! God's love for us is unquestionable. Here are reasons why we may get afflicted

1. Afflictions teach us perseverance
Consider it nothing but joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you fall into various trials. Be assured that the testing of your faith [through experience] produces endurance [leading to spiritual maturity, and inner peace]. And let endurance have its perfect result and do a thorough work, so that you may be perfect and completely developed [in your faith], lacking in nothing.

JAMES 1:2‭-‬4 AMP

2. Trials increase our knowledge and they help us learn God’s Word.
It is good for me that I have been afflicted, That I may learn Your statutes.

PSALMS 119:71 AMP

3. To discipline us
Hebrews 12:5-11 “And have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as a father addresses his son? It says, “My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, because the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.”

4. Sometimes our trials come as a result of our mistakes

Honestly speaking, i have taken wrong steps at certain periods of my life and neglected the word of God and i have had to deal with the consequences. If you commit murder, you go to jail. Bad lifestyle choices can cause sickness. God forgives us but we still have to face the natural consequences of our actions.
Proverbs 19:2-3 “Desire without knowledge is not good– how much more will hasty feet miss the way! A person’s own folly leads to their ruin, yet their heart rages against the LORD.”
For every person will have to bear [with patience] his own burden [of faults and shortcomings for which he alone is responsible].

GALATIANS 6:5 AMP

But despite our mistakes, God still finds a way to use it for a greater good.

5. To keep you humble
even though I have received such wonderful revelations from God. So to keep me from becoming proud, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger from Satan to torment me and keep me from becoming proud.

2 Corinthians 12:7 NLT

As humans, we may tend to forget the inportance of humility in our daily walk as Christians so we sometimes face situations which tends to put us in check so we don't fall to destruction.

6. To partake in the sufferings of Christ and be more like Him.
Dear friends, don’t be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through, as if something strange were happening to you. Instead, be very glad—for these trials make you partners with Christ in his suffering, so that you will have the wonderful joy of seeing his glory when it is revealed to all the world.

If you are insulted because you bear the name of Christ, you will be blessed, for the glorious Spirit of God rests upon you. If you suffer, however, it must not be for murder, stealing, making trouble, or prying into other people’s affairs. But it is no shame to suffer for being a Christian. Praise God for the privilege of being called by his name!

1 Peter 4:12‭-‬16 NLT

In suffering, the life of Christ is more visible in us as Christ was heavily persecuted while on earth.
We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed.

Through suffering, our bodies continue to share in the death of Jesus so that the life of Jesus may also be seen in our bodies.2 Corinthians 4:8‭-‬10 NLT

7. To develop strength of character
We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation.

And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.

Romans 5:3‭-‬5 NLT

8. To be more empathetic about the plight of others
He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. For the more we suffer for Christ, the more God will shower us with his comfort through Christ. Even when we are weighed down with troubles, it is for your comfort and salvation!

For when we ourselves are comforted, we will certainly comfort you. Then you can patiently endure the same things we suffer.

2 Corinthians 1:4‭-‬6 NLT

I know it seems when we are in troubled times, the world should stop and focus on us, afterall, you are in pains. On the contrary, this is an opportunity to reach out to those who might be passing through something similar and encourage them. Whether you are grieving the death of a loved one or the marriage has unravelled. Helping others gives us an upliftment of Spirit.

9. For eternal glory
That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day. For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!

So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.

2 Corinthians 4:16‭-‬18 NLT

A process unto santification. To purify us.
So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while. These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold.

So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.1 Peter 1:6‭-‬7 NLT

What happens after?

Blessed [happy, spiritually prosperous, favored by God] is the man who is steadfast under trial and perseveres when tempted; for when he has passed the test and been approved, he will receive the [victor’s] crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.JAMES 1:12 AMP

Finally friends, all things work together for good to them that are in Christ Jesus. I know it may not seem that way when we are plagued by adversity but nevertheless hold on to the word of God. It is the only assurance. Don't let the devil convince you otherwise.

We all face storms in life, some more difficult than the others. But we all go through trials and tribulations, that is why we have the gift of faith. -Joyce Meyer

Stay blessed

Hello Mr Capslocked, why do you keep looking at the bad sides of life and blaming God for them all.. That aside, have you ever thanked Him for the good you've seen and experienced
