This is so beautiful! Valid and interesting questions! Like you said, these and more questions will be answered/unanswered as you grow older and continue to hear from God.
1. To be the best you can be, affect the most lives you can positively - Altruism.
2. My redemption on the cross doesn't mean you wont suffer, after that ye have suffered a while, i will make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
3. The moment you start living altruistically .....read my book Proverbs 11:24.
4. You survived because I loved you even before you were formed in your mother's womb - You are special to me .
5. Being a Christian is by Birth, knowing me is a personal race and decision - choose wisely my daughter.
6. If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.....even if that land is called Nigeria.
7. If your grandpa knew me while on earth.....then I assure you he is walking on the street of Gold right now.
8. It makes the book be fulfilled .....Only the fools will say there's no God.
9. Tithe paying is not to be enforfced by anyone, like I said to you earlier my child, if you get to know me more personally, you will give more than tithe.
10. It's not your imagination, you're able to write these 21 questions because you're in a relationship with me and I love you unconditionally. I have the power to have made you one of the trees of a field.
11. Marriage is one of my first and most priced institution, because you have asked me today, that man with the missing rib in which you possess will come bearing a RING soon.
12. Why six though ? Isn't that too much for a Nigerian Economy ? I am your loving father and we should be able to joke sometimes.
13. There were only 3 of them , I was the 4th man in that fiery furnace. The conclusion of that story glorified my name. When Nebuchadnezzar saw that increasing the heater to be 7 times hotter couldn't harm my chosen ones, he brought them out of the flames , promoted them to high office and made a decree that anyone who spoke against God should be torn limb from limb.
14. I had to give my only begotten son to redeem others , if you live altruistically, you will be more than pleasing me.
15. I created every human equally and in my image.
16. There will always be false prophets, if you relate with me more, I will bestow on you an excellent spirit of discerning.
17. If only the devil knew using Judas Iscariot to betray my only begotten son and get him killed will bring about the redemption of mankind, he wouldn't have embarked on that mission. The same way I was calm while all that happened, be rest assured redemption is close for my people. Nigeria will be free from any form of terrorism, including SARS.
18. Where two or more are gathered, I will always be. However, your lone worship won't reduce my love for you. In as much as you concentrate fully and worship me wholeheartedly.
19. If you would tell me his name tonight during your devotion , and you keep the bed undefiled till wedding day.......he might be the one I talked about in number 11.
20. Do this more and I will make your name be heard in all the four corners of the earth.
I love that you're able to ask God these difficult questions, especially in a public space. I can tell you, not many of us are able to do this so keep it. If you truly need answers to any of these questions, I think I can assist, just let me know via LinkedIn DM: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ibhadeakpede/
Question 17 should be 2 which got me to ask. Why did you have to ask a 2 in 1 question? Why not 22 questions? I'm curious. That said I have some questions for God too
1- when am I having that idea that will make me blow financially?
2 - You love me so much so why did you allow that particular person to torture me because I was trying to love her too?
3 - Why are you so lenient on Nigerian politicians?
4 - Nigeria vs Italy in 94 still hurts. You could have done something and didn't why?
5 - How's Iya-ibeji's (My mum) doing over there?
6 - Is there a way you can get us to talk to our loved ones who died?
Your questions are so valid. You don't begin to explore the things that fill your mind until you think deeply about them. Funsho you will have plenty money soon.
1, 10 and 21 are part of my usual questions. I always ask why bad things happen to good people and "not so good" people are balling. In one of my frank talks with God, I told Him that even my earthly parents won't allow me go through what he allowed me go through and yet he says he loves me more. Lol
That's my daily recitation these days ,after realising that the more questions I ask, the more I get worried... I've just decided to let his will be done in my life.
I really really like this letter. I have so so many questions too!
Itunuoluwa, God sees your heart!
Good stuff! Best I read in a while!
Thank you very much!
These are some really thought provoking questions. If everyone took time to 'communicate' this way, we'd have heaven on earth.
My takeaway? Talk to God always! He is open to all questions and ready to provide answers and guidance.
Thank you T!!!
Yes He is! Thank you, Abayomi
I can relate to almost all, my heart skipped a beat at the 4th sha.
Tolu! You sabi write sha. I didn't expect these sort of questions when I read at the beginning that you had questions for God.
You're doing great!
Thank you, Lola! My heart skips each time I remember the 4th too.
You sabi!
My person!
Good job baby girl. I can totally relate with those questions too tbh..
This is so beautiful! Valid and interesting questions! Like you said, these and more questions will be answered/unanswered as you grow older and continue to hear from God.
I think I'm gonna play "God's Advocate"

Lord, what's going in with Tolu🤔😉

5 - How's Iya-ibeji's (My mum) doing over there?
6 - Is there a way you can get us to talk to our loved ones who died?
7 - Why do good ones die sometimes so early?
8 - Again, when will I have plenty money?
Your questions are so valid. You don't begin to explore the things that fill your mind until you think deeply about them. Funsho you will have plenty money soon.
Number 17 is current.
Number 6 is funny.
Number 15, I think He has answered.
Number 19 no 'konsin' me
Beautiful write up, Tolu.
Hahaha! Thank you.
Your questions girl...very valid! I am asking the same questions in 3, 5, 10, 14 and even a lot more. God when?
There's a common thread with 5,10, and 14. I hope we both get answers. Thank you for reading and sharing, Oze.
Great, Tolu....Everyday I ask God a lot of questions....I even question my sanity with God....It is a beautiful writeup....you've got my heart...
21...will be my all time question tho...
Like...God when will I get answers to every question?
The answers will come with time. God sees and knows all. Thank you so much for sharing, Maryam!

'Thank you Lord everything you have done!'

His will above all else! That's a solid way to go tbh!
