Popular TV host Toke Makinwa reveals why she tore all her prayer requests to God.
In a recent post, Toke Makinwa said she has been questioning her faith since the Wigwe family tragedy happened, revealing that she tore and discarded all her prayer requests to God. Toke said the people that have a tragedy befall them aren't God's enemies.
Toke Makinwa said God owes us nothing and she has realized that life has already been programmed to happen whether we like it or not. She believes God has the power to change things but people can get obsessed with what they want from God instead of living in the moment which could be our last.
She said, "I know God is real but I struggle to understand why there is so much pain in the world, why good people die, why death has to be so excruciating, why it seems like when you’re about to enjoy life, something goes wrong. Why do kids/young people die? Why were they born sef?
Today I woke up and tore up all my prayer requests, cos the people that have tragedy befall them are not God’s enemies. I have realized he owes us nothing. Good and bad happen to all. Just do your bit and relax, life has already been programmed to happen how it will.
I’m not saying God doesn’t change things or prayer isn’t good, I tore up my prayer requests cos we are often obsessed with what we want God to do next that we do not live in the moment good/bad which could possibly be our last.
The people who misfortune happen to also are loved by God. They also pray, they also believe too. Life will happen as it’s been programmed to happen."
