Why Do Nigerian Christians Portray God As Myopic And Mediocre? by mrmrmister: 8:57pm On Mar 05, 2017
Read the testimony below


Akwasi:
I perfectly know what you are talking about....

Mine happened in 2012 one very hot afternoon. I was passing by a very tiny shop. I fact the shop was nearly empty and I would not have taken notice of it but for the fact that the owner was reading a Bible.

I greeted her as I intended to pass. Well, I remembered I needed a PK to keep my mouth fresh as I had just taken my lunch. I decided to buy from her since she was reading a Bible(that was the only reason why I decided to buy from her).

Unfortunately however, she was not having the minty blue one. She was having the traditional yellow wrapper one. Too bad she doesn't have what I need. I will have to buy from another place. That's when it happened.

As clear as a friend talking to me, I heard the gentliest of voices very audibly tell me "Buy it".

I quickly turned to see who it was. I just smiled because nobody was standing behind me to have made that comment.

I went to the woman, told her GOD wants ne to buy the PK although its not my preference. She smiled and gave me the PK. I paid her and asked her to keep the change.

What happened just blew me away! When I opened the PK, instead of the usual white colored gum that I just bought, I rather found a blue colored PK inside the yellow wrapper! Instantly I began to cry. This doesn't happen often and I was overwhelmed that of all the people in the world, it was me that GOD chose to reveal HIMSELF to.

I turned one more time and waved the woman. I didn't bother to go back to tell her what happened because I already knew she had a faith bigger than mine.

So yes GOD still speaks and reveals HIMSELF!

According to that young man, of all the problems in the world God was only interested in the blue-coloured PK he wanted to buy.

Why this portrayal of mediocrity amongst Nigerian christians?

lol @ 'buy it'

they not only portray their God as myopic, they portray him as useless.

imagine a so called almighty creator who is more interested in his so called worshiper buying a chewing gum and helping him colour it a different color just to show him how mighty he is while he neglects billions of helpless kids and Nigerians who pray and ask for his help on daily basis.

I found the post very hilarious cause i had a mental image of nairaland atheist reading it and laughing madly. Btw, this isnt a miracle but shows how God reveals himself in the most subtle of ways.
