If Wealth Was the Inevitable Result Of Prayers And Fasting | Everyone in Ghana Would Be A Billionaire

The propensity of Ghanaians calling upon their “God” in all matters as if other countries do not worship this same God has become like a bad tooth spreading its canker to the others.
A typical Ghanaian would rather pray with the hopes of finding solutions to a problem that needs a practical approach. You wouldn’t understand my plight until a friend you are in the same class with tells you she would rather pray for her results to be altered by the holy spirit when I insisted she submits her assignment.
And the pray in this context didn’t mean she going to do anything shady and compromising with the lecturer– she meant going on her knees to solemnly have a conversation with God.
Pathetically this absurd statement came from a university student. How someone like this would manage to contribute the purported quota to aid a nation building still remains a questions I do not have answers to. She would probably join our AGLOW women pray for the nation since I believe from all indications she has found her calling.
And that is just one of the many equally absurd statements people ignorantly make when the subject of God comes up and you dare not say anything that would contradict their beliefs else you would be associated with the likes of satan. I have been made to believe prayers indeed work but so far the opposite is what has gripped me.

The advent of social media and the bid to create humour with everything has made me a bit skeptic when it comes to acceding any sort of seriousness to things that go viral. It wouldn’t surprise me if people purposely sit down to design funny flyers that would leave audience in shock and laughter. What exactly am I blabbering about?

When a friend showed me the above picture of a church that had declared 200 days of fasting and prayers, I just knew it was one of those things. The Ghanaian wanting to make the country more of a circus by making himself the clown.

Honestly I did not believe in such stupidity but I had one hell of a good laugh until I saw it with my own eyes, even with that my doubting Thomas goddess wouldn’t let me be. How on earth can anyone declare such an incredulous thing?

And how did he convince his members to accept such an absurd thing as 200 days of fasting and prayers. Even the temptation of Christ as detailed in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke said Jesus fasted for forty days and nights in the desert. The one was praying and fasting for just forty days and who are you trying to please by fasting that long?

Wait! Are they telling me the God they serve actually asked them to starve themselves for 200 days before he came to their help? Who on earth does that?

No wonder this church is located in one of the poor areas of Accra– Chorkor. For the past week that I have been visiting my friend, there is always a service of some sort going on; even on Monday nights. I can’t ever imagine myself fasting and praying for more than half for the year. This is pathetic and a very lazy and lacklustre approach to finding solutions to wherever problem you’re in. 200 days indeed….
