Can someone please tell me why Naija Christians always say things are great when they obviously aren't???
What am I talking about?
Try asking two or three people today how work / business / life is, and you'll most likely hear them say, "All is well", or "I am blessed", or "we thank God". Yes of-course we are blessed, and of-course we should thank God in all things, but does that really mean we shouldn't tell things the way they are?
Anyone that says life is great right now is lying their socks off. Life in today's Nigeria is excruciatingly tough. The economy is dreadfully difficult, and for most people things are painfully challenging; stress and worries galore!
So say it as it is, and you just might get an opportunity, or some help as a result; or at least someone to remember you in their prayers.
Furthermore there's nothing wrong with telling your unconditionally loving daddy in heaven things are tough, and that you're feeling a little fed up. I'm not saying you shouldn't praise Him or be thankful, but for heaven's sake keep it real.
Do you really think He doesn't know what's going on inside you?
Jesus lived on earth for 33 years, so He knows how tough life can be.
The Holy Spirit dwells inside you, so he's definitely in the know.
God loves you unconditionally - no matter what you say or do.
So for pete's sake, tell Him how you really feel. He'll not only comfort and assist you, but also show you the way to go.
Keep It Real.
