If we are waiting for Jesus to fix Nigeria, we will wait till eternity – Alibaba

Popular comedian Alibaba has said that the belief by many Nigerians particularly Christians that Jesus would fix the country is tantamount to laziness.

Alibaba had two days back spoken on the same subject matter on his Instagram page.

Commenting on Alibaba’s post, one of his followers, Funmi Omotoso said, “Ali Baba, in as much as I appreciate your passion for Nigeria and your disapproval for so many wrong things that are going on but NEVER should you allow yourself to be so pushed by the happenings that you make limitating statements about the ability of Jesus. Don’t lose hope, bro.”

In his response to Funmi Omotoso on his Instagram page on Wednesday, Alibaba said, “@funmiomotoso You miss the point & because you were decent in your comment I will respond to you. Does Jesus come to fix your hair when you have undergrowth? Does he come to cut the umbilical chord when the baby comes out? Do you pray to him to come go put fuel in your car when the tank is empty? You see? We have been given everything that we need to be a success. God blesses our endeavors. He does not bless our laziness. The Parable of the Talents & the cursing of the Fig tree refers. David didn’t pray about Goliath. He did something. Instead of waiting on a miracle. That was what the Israelites were doing.

“As I have already explained in several posts, we can not continue to pray and not match our prayers with action. Because if that were it, we won’t be evangelizing. We go just pray & wait for the people to start coming on their own to church. Even when it comes to building a Church, do pastors just pray? No. They pressure the congregation & back it up with the appropriate bible verses. How about when the couple waiting to have a child pray for one? Do they pray for immaculate conception? No. They get down to business. And even when that fails, they do IVF. I know pastors who have gone for surgeries. Done IVF. Like #TDJakes said, if you have a headache, you can pray, but hey!!! Pop 2 tablets & move on.

“God has created the solution already. It doesn’t reduce God. You don’t pray to go to Abuja, you get up, leave your house & go buy a ticket! If you get a contract to construct a road, if you fast for 90months, JESUS WILL NOT COME TO START THE CONSTRUCTION. We have been blessed with natural resources, human resources, constitutional machineries, and ideas.

“I will say it again, if we are waiting for Jesus to come make this country the way we want it to be, we will wait till he comes back. If I am not a Christian because of that, then maybe you are one of those Christians that need to be helped. God only blesses the work of your hands!! He can not help people who are lazy, especially after he has given them the wherewithal. And this has nothing to do with the power of Jesus. It has to do with not following his teachings and directives!”
