– The Footpath to Prosperity
“Prayer needs the WORK component, for one to be blessed. God blesses what we do; not our idleness – like praying and fasting, without engaging in any industrious activity. We need to invest creativity, time, and vitality in something before expecting returns. Even those who won lotteries invested something – they paid for the tickets. It is ‘work and pray,’ not ‘pray and pray.’ Your religious leader is phony, if he/she advises you to expect ‘alerts’ from your bank, when you don’t invest something somewhere sometime.” – Dele Ajaja
