The Bible declared that GOD'S ways are higher than our way and HIS thought higher than our thought. Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
Isaiah 55:9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thought. Many of us are miserably failures in life because we insist on following our sinful way. Those who are supper successful will tell you that their success steams from the facts that GOD was directing them and they are following GOD step by step.
It is said of King David that he fought the highest number of wars in Israel history as a king yet he did not loose any war-WHY? The major reason was that GOD was with him and he does nothing without first enquiring at the LORD, see 1Samuel 30:8 “And David enquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all”.

2Samuel 2:1 “And it came to pass after this, that David enquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah? And the LORD said unto him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? And he said, Unto Hebron.
However, quite often, GOD’s ways doesn’t make sense to our natural reasoning. Infarct they are often foolishness to us if we use our natural reasoning to judge them.”

Most often, God’s ways are communicated to us via GOD’S messengers- the prophets. Look at various kings in Israel- those who had the prophets as their counselors succeeded because they were able to be hearing the mind and counsel of GOD. Those who despised GOD’S word and instructions from the prophets paid dearly for their actions.
Look at the story of Naaman in 2Kgs 5:10-15 And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean.
But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the LORD his God, and strike his hand over the place, and recover the leper.
Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage.
And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean?
Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.
And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him: and he said, Behold, now I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel: now therefore, I pray thee, take a blessing of thy servant.

Again, look at the opposite in 2Kings 7:1 Then Elisha said, Hear ye the word of the LORD; Thus saith the LORD, To morrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.
2Kings 7:2 Then a lord on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, if the LORD would make windows in heaven, might this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.
Here the minister of Agriculture doubted and mocked the word of Elisha the prophet of GOD. Reason being that the words of Elisha did not make sense to his natural reasoning. The consequence was that he paid dearly for it, see verses
2Kgs 7:17-20 And the king appointed the lord on whose hand he leaned to have the charge of the gate: and the people trode upon him in the gate, and he died, as the man of God had said, who spake when the king came down to him.
And it came to pass as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel, shall be to morrow about this time in the gate of Samaria:
And that lord answered the man of God, and said, Now, behold, if the LORD should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.
And so it fell out unto him: for the people trode upon him in the gate, and he died.
In another development, the ways of GOD today may not be the ways of GOD tomorrow. That is to say GOD’S dealing today may not be GOD’S dealing tomorrow. For instance, MOSES paid dearly for his action for using yesterday’s instruction as against today’s instruction. See Exodous 17:5 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thine hand, and go.
Exodous 17:6 Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
Now see Num 20:11-13 And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also.
And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.
This is the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them.

This year 2012, let us be very careful in our judgment and dealings with GOD and the prophets of GOD (Ministers of GOD). A minister of GOD may be obeying the instructions of GOD, so let us be careful not to use our natural reasoning to interpret their actions OR WE COULD INCURE THE WRATH OF GOD.

For years I have been waiting for the wrath of god. please send it my way.

Logic Mind:

My dear I don’t need to send the wrath of GOD your way- WHY? Because I think you have a very big problem already. What you are doing can be compared to the adage in my place that talks about nza the bird (nza is a very tiny bird) one day after it ate to belly full it challenged its god to a dual contest.
What you and some people are doing are like what the two sons of Eli the priest was doing in 1Samuel, 1Samaul 2:12 “Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the LORD.”
1Samaul 2:17” Wherefore the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD: for men abhorred the offering of the LORD.”
1Samual 2:22 Now Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did unto all Israel; and how they lay with the women that assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
1Samuel 2:23 And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil dealings by all this people.
1Samuel 2:24 Nay, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: ye make the LORD'S people to transgress.
1Samuel 2:25 If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him: but if a man sin against the LORD, who shall intreat for him? Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because the LORD would slay them.

Believe you me, if you don’t repent, GOD is about to do a thing to you that every ears that hear it will tingle. Remember Proverbs 29:1 “He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.” And 2Chr 36:16 But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till there was no remedy.

Because GOD is ever merciful therefore you still has mouth to talk rubbish.

Please god strike me. strike me. your followers say you are merciful, I say you are powerless, weak, but most importantly, inexistent. Your followers can't reason. They only resort to insult and threats. Or quoting the satanic verses of their bible in order to bamboozle the feeble minded and the easily impressed.
So hear me god.
You are weak
You can't do anything because you are NOT.
I would rather worship the bones of the chicken I ate today as it's flesh and blood actually fed me and made me stronger.
You are weak
Powerless
Useless
Invented

If I'm lying do something about it.

So Blastus, what whappened to the nza bird in your folklore, because as far I can tell, many small birds are still flying around today so even that imaginary bird's god couldn't do anything?
Oh! I know it's just a fairy tale. Just like your god.

The fool says in his heart 'There is no God',

The 'Christian' says with his actions 'I have no brain'

Hhhhmmm. God's ways are mysterious. In other words, no one can fully discern it. Ok. I believe you. But if so, then what exactly is the purpose of religion? religion makes little sense with a god whose will is well known, but it makes even less sense with a god whose ways are mysterious.
What then is the purpose of prayer ,if at the end, only the mysterious ways of god will prevail?

Who can question Him?

I do. I have been doing so for a long time. No answers yet.

@Logic mind
I pity you because i feel you are not normal and don't know what you are doing. If GOD decide to show you HIS wrath, you may not survive to tell others your experience. Pharaoh once boasted in Exodus 5:2 And Pharaoh said, Who is the Lord, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not the Lord, neither will I let Israel go.
And after GOD dealt with him, he was quick to acknowledge GOD.Exodus 12:29-33 And it came to pass, that at midnight the Lord smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.
And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead.
And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the Lord, as ye have said.Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also.
And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men.
Pray that GOD don't show up to you with HIS wrath.

Dear Ogoamaka99,

My prayer is for the WRATH. I need it. I want it. Can't you understand. If your god can hear you please ask him to send his wrath my way. I don't need his mercy nor any other thing. Satan is enough for me. I only need the wrath to be complete.


On the other hand, stop with isreali fairy tales, igbos have enough of their own.

@Logicmind

There is a void in your heart you want God to fill. As the bible says we fight not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers. You asked for God's wrath but God in His infinite mercy will send you His peace because He is Love.

"Do you think that I like to see wicked people die? says the Sovereign LORD. Of course not! I want them to turn from their wicked ways and live.

Satan is enough for me. I only need the wrath to be complete.

Isaiah 13: 5-11 They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the Lord, and the weapons of his wrath to destroy all the land. Howl for the day of God is at hand. It shall come as destruction from the almighty, Behold the day of the Lord comes, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it, And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible

The Wrath will not descend on you now, that was why Jesus came and died. He died for your type to enjoy the mercies of God.So,you can live ur life as you like.

But do not die in sin,for then the wrath will descend without mercy

Ok then, thanks for the enlightenment Judek2. I will continue living my life with Satan as He is providing much more than I need, and worry about god and his wrath when I die.

God to the Christian is no longer a "mistery"
He was a mystery when we are allienated and cut off from Him by our sins and disobedience but now in Christ Jesus by virtue of our new birth in believing and affirming His Lordship over our lives.
1Peter 1:23
Being born again, not of corruptible
seed, but of incorruptible, by the word
of God, which lives and abides forever.

Romans 10:9-10
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

I don't know the time, because i am not God, there are so many living beings that still face the wrath of God, God might not show you his wrath though because you desperatley need it and because he knows that you can't stand it, He might extend it to your 3rd and 4th generation.

It seems you have lost your mind and that is why such utterance. I pray that GOD will have mercy on your poor soul because you may not live to tell your story if the wrath of GOD should come upon you.

who is sure?

^^^And who says prayers have not been upholding Nigeria, ?? It has, but if you do not see it or know that, well too bad. The question you seek, it is only God Himself that can give you the answers, if you seek the answers from men? then you joke.

God should learn how to work in more practical ways like us humans. Because as far as am concerned God working in mysterious ways is just an excuse to explain away why he can't make himself visible and talk for himself
