It's a popular saying that people like to use but I'm curious about it. Does He, really? So if you have a bad husband, bad friends, family members, colleagues etc, it's because you deserve it? If bad things happen to you, it's because you deserve it? Please share your thoughts...

What they is how many people can say amen when that prayer is said! Bad people will not because they deserve terrible things! God reward every good person will good things.
Yeah, I agree. God gives us all these bad things as a cross for our sins. U're just like paying for ur sins, so u have to bear them
lol God put us in situation, so that we can change the Bad to Good... but funny enough the situation most people find themselves strangle them rather than them changing the situation. It is failure on their part.
What they say is, how many people can say amen when that prayer is said! Bad people will not because they deserve terrible things! God reward every good person with good things.
It's not all true anywayz, but God knows y thıngs happen t us n ıts always t mak us a better person jus lık job ın bıble.
No... Not the case... Gods plan is not for us to perish or suffer.. In the case of a bad husband.. I don't buy Tht it's God Tht gave in him to u... Does God really choose ones husband? Remember wht happened to Adam wen God chose eve for him? Even if one is in a bad marriage.. Th fact Tht they r still alive is because of God.. Not that God put them in that situation
God does not wish bad things on His children. Most times its the mind that draws in negativitiy.
Hmmmm wat can I say sumtimes ma grandmum will say evrytin happened for a reason maybe u dnt. Deserve it buh only God knws why
Not at all! Wisdom does it my people.
That's a prayer we need to stop instead it should be bless me lord according to my good deeds.....thank you.
Lindodo hehehe well our own God is just and doesn't do evil.He has better plans for us bcos his thoughts towards us are of good and not evil to give us an expected end.we human being perish bcos we lack knowledge,God can't do u bad nah
Yes to some extent I agree with that popular saying. Coz God has a way of balancing things, that he gives us what we deserve don't actually imply only the best things of this life.
When he gives a good woman a bad husband,he might have done that so through the good woman the bad husband will be changed.
Sometimes he finds some people more capable of carrying cross which could weigh others down.
His plans for us are always of good. To each he gives what he deserves,not withstanding the type of packaging it came in. That bad situation may at last lead to your glory.
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA3310
Life is a mystery and we don't have answers to all things that befall us. All good and perfect gifts comes from God. Injections are painful, but its for our healing. Not all tears are there to tear us down.
I do not believe in that saying. However, it might be Karma rewarding someone's past evil deed. In that case the bad situation is well deserved.
BLOG ANALySER: God gives everything, however, he makes a way for us to overcome this obstacles only if we look up to him
Definitely false, as with all things there is an exception. talking about God, read the Bible and see what happens to friends of God. Job for instance suffered a lot.Let me ask you Linda...Does Jesus deserve that death? No he doesn't, but you and I deserve to be humiliated and hanged!sometimes things happen to us as a result of our choices, sometimes we fall innocent victims, sometimes we are punished for our sins.
God's thought towards us is of good and not of evil...He wouldn't send bad people to us...proudlyslim
That statement is not true...
Its nt a one on one straight answer. Afterall, d ways of the lord are nt our ways nd His tots nt our tots...u cnt fathom wt God is thinking, nd d graces he gives to people vary...read john 9vs 6-9-story of Jesus and the MAN BORN BLIND. U dnt questn God, u jst accept wt He gives u, wo knws wher ur graces cud cme frm, mayb u might b priviledged to be in a state of grace wen u die nd go straight to heaven, while d rich person might die in sin. Evritin's jst God.
Not always true. A good man may be afflicted with pain and injustice but at the end God will redeem him. Joseph in the Bible was sold into slavery by his brothers, in the land of Egypt he was tempted by Potiphar's wife, he refused to fall, she later lied against him. He was sent to prison. Joesph later became the Prime Minister of Egypt.
Lets come down to Africa, Mandela was tagged a terrorist and sentenced to life in imprisonment, he came out of prison and was elected the first black President of South Africa.
When bad things happen to a good person, God will surely prepare a way out for him or her. Just keep the faith.
No I think this is just a saying people apply to good events, just like when they say 'God ois in control' or 'God dey' even when everything is messed up!
Most things are pure chance, bad timing, or repercussions for bad choices
Mind you even When things are terrible a sudden event can fix all if you remain positive, for some people that means believing God will change things miraculously, smart people take positive actions though.
Cut off bad friends and family
Leave unloving abusive partners
God allows even planes to fall to the sky don't be arrogant enough to believe he's going to intervene in your life, take action!!
Love
Well, God has given us the power of choice from the beginning. If we seek Him before making decisions, He will direct us to choose right. HOWEVER,if we make a wronge decision and re turn to Him in genuine repentance, He will have mercy and make the situation work together for our good.Deuteronomy 30:19; Romans 8:28. Moses
Linda, pls note dat God is not cruel nd d Bible made us to understand dat God doesn't do to us according to wot we deserve bcos of loving kindness towards us. So wot make most of us to xperience such bad things is bcos of d choices we make in life, but God is still merciful to turn things around for us if we come to him wholeheartedly.
Lol... God gives us what we askd 4 n what he wants.God's plan 4 his pple is of good nt of evil. Human beings re dynamic in nature. A bad man or woman can hide his or her character jus 2 get married, n once such person is married,he or she shows d real character.
I don't think so,most of the things that happen to people is probably out their our own mistakes
I so hate that saying.. Even when young chaps die, you hear pastors say God gives and he takes when that's not what he actually wished us. Most times, out of our carelessness and stubborness, we cause the problems we face.. So I disagree with that saying..
*****************************
That's a saying for those of poor reasoning ability.
Please exclude yourself from those who reason in like manner.
How any sane person can conclude that people/children DESERVE to be abused, murdered, tortured etc. That is not even going into natural disasters/some man made by others i.e famines, floods, earthquakes etc
*****************************
Yes God gives us what we deserves but not in all cases smtimes the devil always has a way of inflicting bad things on ppl,remember every godd thing comes from God,and His thoughts towards us are thoughts of good and not of evil,Gods plan is never a bad 1.satan is always the brain behind every evil.I love God and I pray He gives me the Grace to serve and love Him even more.
Nooo! I do not agree with it because it is not always the case.
Not becus we deserve it, but because we can handle it.
Well God gives nothing let it b noted. He gave us freewill meaning we get what we deserve as a result of our own actions. Don't blame any God for your misfortune
Maybe, but not in all cases. Most ppl that are in suffering today re paying the consequences of their sins or that of their ancestors. Som re suffering cos God already knows wat they'll do if he blesses them. Many poor ppl re very wicked. U only get to kno this wen God blesses them or through the wicked treatment they met out to poorer ppl. But mind u that nobody has it all in life. We all suffer one way or the other. And then there's d test of faith factor. A person might be suffering cos God wants to test their faith, so it mustn't be cos they deserve those bad thns.
I think this life God knows everything that is happening to human being...so if your husband is bad doesn't mean he is not yours...God can change him...if your friend is a bad person he cn repent one day...that is life for us....what goes around comes around

I do not believe in that saying and we should not act as God's spokespeople. I can mention several chapters of the Bible which says we are of God's creation, we were made perfect in his eyes and so where is all these coming from?
to learn a lesson
No He doesn't,dats y He is God.His mercy abounds and His grace is suFficient.But pePpl often forget dat He is also a consuming Fire.He killeth and He maketh alive.He hates sin so if u don't want His wrot,abstain from Sin.
When its come to God issues I seriously don't like putting M̶̲̥̅γ̲̣̣̥ mouth bcos He, only Him know what is right or wrong so therefore I will seat on a fence here!
I think its more like GOd cannot give us what we can't handle, not God gives what we deserve afterall Job in the bible did not deserve what he was given but he could handle it.
Linda, I'm off to work. Stop all these unnecessary questions!
Aunty linda,i dnt believe in dt say
Not necessarily....
1. A person is a product of choices he makes.
2. God allows 'stuff' to teach us invaluables.
3. Sometimes what we think we deserve is not the right thing.
I interpret it that God gives us the troubles we can easily accept and cope with... Most people don't deserve the bad things happening to them... Did Jesus deserve to die on the cross? The answer is No. Was Jesus a bad person? The answer is No
But on anoda note, the bad things some people get is simply pay back for their evil deeds. Yeah, am talking about Karma
I don't believe that. If God start blessing us as we deserve some of us will get nothing.
Linda, nobody can explain it toyou cus almost everybody that reads your blog are not illuminated. Yes it is true. Nothing is co-incidence. Everything happensfor a reason. Like attracts like. Opposite do not attract. If u believe the concept of re-incarnation, which is the most covered up mystery of life, then u no that everything is planned. The law of karma is as real as death. There is no hell, hell is actually earth. People re-incarnate to come and suffer their deeds. Look at our leaders, they are still living and still causing havoc. They will die old, but they might come back as beggers or when they come back, they die a gruesome death. Air plane accidents, fire disasters. I no this will not go down well wiv a lot of your viewers but I am telling you how God hascreated the world. He has made everything perfect. The world is wivout end but a time will come when the true believers will rule the world. God knows hispeople and his people no him. Sometimes some people u feel are good are going through fire because they rely on their own understanding hence u see men marrying useless wives or good women marring useless husbands. Some even die in the process, its all a cycle. Such a person must come back and right his wrong. Make d same mistake and ud come back till u start getting it right. Then u can evolve to a higher being. In all, make sure ur good ismore than your bad, pray everyday, do unto others as u want others to do unto u and love God with all your might.
Wen "light comes darkness must give way". God does not give bad gifts to His children... If u ar truly Gods child He can send u any were to cause a change n make gr8 impacts 4 His name sake! N if u ar not with God "Anything n Anybody can happen in ur life" both good n bad". Remember our good God does not give bad gifts!
The truth is we deserve every good thing..God's riches is for us his children to enjoy..But sometimes we are either not patient enough for what he has for us,we then settle for less..or we weren't ready when he was ready to answer us,for instance a lady who is old enough for marriage but wants to get rich before marriage,all the eligible suitors av come and when she is now old and stale,she starts praying for husband,who didn't answer God when he was ready and willing to give without even asking. Probably we think that's the answer and that's not even near it..Truly,he gives what we deserve but are we willing to do what it takes to get what we deserve.Are we patient enough,can we stop all the sins and be totally in allegiance to him.Can we just forget that man exists and stop looking for help with man but with God alone..I feel this is the reason why we can't get what we deserve from God.Everyone is a victim of this..We should jst continue pray for his unmerited grace and favour .Becaues He said our righteousness is like rags before Him.
dat is y is good for u to pray to God to give u wisdom to make d rite choices in life,dat way what you deserve come to u.
well i wud say that if every1 around u is bad den probably u ar d bad person.if God gave us wat we deserve...many wont b alive.
Well,God does not really give us wht we wnt,God always wanted us 2 have d best,If we can only wait @ Gods time
If i comment i don't av d opportunity of reading my comment or oda peoples comment d page turn blank.
The definition of "God" na wahala for this generation. Regardless, you always get what you "ask" for. Those who suffer from amnesia will deny it. If anyone take their time to study their own thought, they will see that PERFECTION runs through ALL things visible and invisible. There is no cause without effect and no effect without cause. And all cause is rooted in the one experiencing the effect.
In other news, BE MORE AWARE, or MORE STUPID, either way is awesome! LoL
No seriously linda some of the questions you ask sometimes are silly to be honest. God never gives us something we can't handle and everything happens for a reason maybe you have a bad husband because he's not the right man for you and you lost sight of what God wanted for you and you rushed into the arms of the first guy who winked at you without asking God first. Also sometimes we need to go through things in order to come out of it better hopefully we would have learnt a lesson just think of JOB in the bible
God gives us what He knows is good for us but at time we re in hurry dat we just can't wait for God's time, we made a choice ourselves. God gives us da best not wot we want! Unless wot we want is His will too!

Linda,let's be realistic here. God has alredy blsd us wit all spiritual blessins in heavenly places in christ.buh we live on earth nt in heavenly places which means dey can onli b accessed by faith.dts y we walk by faith buh odas by sight.we hav d power to choose(free will)wat we wnt n hw we wnt it.for instance,in marryin a bad wife or husband,pple hav different reasons y dey marry(trust me),u can choose ur frds etc sometimes,He allows sths to happen 2 us 4 a reason(n its always4gud),agreed u may nt undastd y most of d tyms buh it ends up 4ur gud n ders always a lesson frm it.I come frm a terrible family whr ders so much envy n hatred.my sistas hav put me tru a lot to d point of sendin me out of d house wit false accusatns.it hurt but d experiences hav me strong n independent n he cud use me to change deir lives 4gud. So certain tins hapen 4 a reason(gud reasons buh d process is painful eg d story of Joseph)buh in all,we determine(free will)hw we live our lives by d choices we make.dis is my tek
If i comment i don't av d opportunity of reading my comment or oda peoples comment d page turn blank.
Lindodo i agree with dat *God gives us wat we deserve.....but in sum people's case .dey are 2 blind spiritually 2 see wat God is showin dem..like in d terms of marriage,sum people are so despirate 2 get married dat wen God is telin dem or givin dem signs dat dis woman or man is not 4 u...so in such case u'av made a mistake already,anytin u get is oyo.....
been in dis relationship and was really inlove with dis guy. And all was going so well untill i asked him a simple qns and he hasnt spoken with me since then. But am really inlove with. I dnt knw whether to move on#sillyme.
To be frank this is unexplanaible, bcos the more yu are trying to explain it, the more yu are trying say this is the reason why God did what he did at first, second and third place but we can never knw why God made those things so in our life bcos God himself works in a mysterious way...... Ok, let me put it this way, the whole thing is a mystery...... I just hope am making a point.....

***CURRENTLY IN JUPITER***
We do not serve a wicked God but sometimes God test us in different ways just to test our faith remember job was a faithful servant of God but e still went through all those pains and loss even. When he neva sinned against God!!!
I don't totally agree with it...All I know is,God sees and knows every situation we in and he also knows how to help us through it.. It doesn't mean we deserve it,they're just normal trials of life. Another reason is cos he knows we strong enough to handle such situation and he uses it to test our faith
Linda this ur morning post is really brain storming...
.
.
.
***CURRENTLY IN JUPITER***
God is never in support of bad tin is we people dat are wicked. Every body deserve to be treat well but is ur atitude qualify for dis
I dont believe in dat. Some re what u deserves while others re luck, temptation or ill luck.
Ojai says" God gives us what we ask for. He cannot give us what we don't ask for. He cannot give us pains and sorrows. Those r the handwork of the devil. We r His children and he loves us so deeply, nothing bad or evil comes from God. U have bad friends is becos u want to keep associating urself with them.ur family members r bad, my dear there is no family u won't see bad egg, and ther is no office u won't see jealous colleagues. Ur husband is bad, did u not see it in him before saying I do? U can change him with prayers. So God does not give us what we don't want. Thank U
Linda,will you ever change?always partial.you should have mentioned bad wife as well. Perhaps you believe when a marriage goes bad,it is always the man's fault.
Andy
To some extent is true.
It's not biblical so i don't believe in it..uhm Linda did u get it from bonario's comment from that post on iyanya.#justasking
Linda all this disclaimer caution am seeing, who is trying to mess u up, tell us o...as for dat saying, in some cases yes,
I dnt believe in that saying, its just kije the saying when you lose a loved one 'mither, father, sibling etc' soneone wld cum anf tell you God kbws why like God derives pleasure ib making ppl sad, have a lovely day peeps.
I guess that is 'Karma'
That's God's original plan for you. To give you what you so deserve -the best of everything!
But alas,it all changed when Man sinned. All we deserved was the direct opposite of God's plan for us. And then came the good news : Christ became our intercessor,our mediator. He rightfully placed us at that place we so deserve.
Now if bad things happen to us,doesn't mean it is meted upon us because it is what we deserve. Life is a school -we learn everyday. We sometimes put ourselves at unnecessary risks and cry afterwards,' God where are you?!' U wouldn't cry this cry if you sought him in the first place. So,deal with it. Learn from your OWN mistakes.
And again,there's something as Seed and harvest. If you sow good seeds,u will harvest what you deserve. If you sow bad...vice versa.
All in all.. for the fact that God's knows everything,sees everything,doesn't mean his hand is in everything. Change your mindset if you're getting it rough and you believe it's so because you deserve it.
Nada!!! HELL NOOOOOOO!!! Like do I deserve evil people as my in-laws?I don't think so.But I do know "unpleasant" situations strengthen a person.
That's an absolute fallacy when it comes to the negative. God doesn't give us bad friends, colleagues, spouse because we deserve it. Most times, we orchestrate our situation by ourself either by ommission or commission. What is important is the fact that you are meant to learn from your situation and those lessons learnt is called EXPERIENCE!
That's not true all the time, but can be sometimes. When he has tried to correct u so many times and refuse, he can give u what u deserve. If u ve a bad husband, wife, friend, it cld be that u ve treated a good one bad in time past. But on the other hand, God is a merciful God and does not correct us with wickedness. Cos people who has the good ones r not without sin.
Ha ha. What a plonker of an article!!!
Dear Linda, I like to believe it is. Though it troubles the heart when ppl around u are bad, the truth is, its probably as a result of bad things uve done to other ppl. However, if Ure generally not a bad person and bad things happen to you, such bad things wud simply be temporary. U can't sow good and reap evil. It may happen but u will still get to see the "silver lining".
Every disappointment is a blessin#i blv#
Linda na wah oh, wetin u wan make talk.
I don't agree. But I will modify another popular one by saying God doesn't 'allow' more than we can handle. I have horrible family members and I often question why I was born into such a home but I believe there's a reason for everything.
Is becoz we follow d wrong pple...
I DISAGREE.
God isn't a giver of any bad gift. Cos d bible says there's no evil in God. He is full of compassion love n mercy. Any bad situation a person found him/herself is d work of d devil trying to test ur faith in God or him/her didn't heed to God's couselling that's why they are suffering due to their ignorance. The bible says my pple are perish cos of lack of knowledge!
Bad things happen to even good people and no one knows why. Its called life. But if EVERYONE around you is bad, take a GOOOOD look at the kind of decisions YOU make.
I dnt agree wit dat sayin... Cus thr are alot of things dat it wasnt God dat gave us, but it ws us dat hasenly chosed dem. Thing lik dat shuldnt b thrown to God's neck
I DISAGREE.
Not give us what we deserve per say,but going bak to the holy scriptures in the book of Corinthians,he said he would allow trials to come our way,but in it he wil give us a way out of the situation,and he cannot give us a trial which we can not bear,in most of this he allows somtins to happen so that we can depend more on him,is not because we deserve it,but because he has a purpose for allowing every situation good or bad in our lives,wat is important is for us to know DAT no matter ow bad the situation is he promised he won't abandon us or live us,just like a writer said if God should cushioned our every blow we won't learn to grow in him.so somtimes is not cos of our sins or anytin,but because he wants his glory to be made manifest in our lives and he wants us to come to know him more ,and we should know that God loves us beyound our sins or mistakes,and Remember also in the book of Jeremiah he said the plans I have for u,are plans for Good and not for evil,God knows wat we are facing,all he wants is for us to call on him always and he wil librate us at his appointed time.
God is NOT a wicked God as many peeps painted him to be, the bible says God is love and he cares for us, we should know that devil bn the ruler of this world, is behind all the wickedness that we see today, the bible even stated that when we are under trial, we shouldn't say God is the cause, because with evil things God can't try anyone. We should all know that satan is the one making peeps see God that way, thereby using religious leaders to paint God as bad. Eg, when we lose someone in death, they(religious leaders) will say it it God's will, it is NEVER his will for people to die, for families to mourn there loved ones, for children to suffer because of the death of a family(father), God does not take such ones to himself then leav his family to be in pain..HE IS NOT A WICKED GOD!

It is so wrong, I am a good girl a hard working lady i was approached by a guy who told me he wanted to marry me we courted i left this country for further education i came back only for him to tell me that he is getting married to another girl and when his friends and family asked him why he was not marrying me he just said nothing that he dosen't even no why
Every disappointment is a blessin#i blv#
Psalm 103:10 clearly answers that God does NOT deal with us according to our sins
NO! look at Job for instance. He didn't deserve any of the bad things that happened to him, and God knew! At His own time, he will give us what we deserve.
God gives u what u deserve...but u choose what u want.
I JUST BELIEVE DIER IS ALWAZ A REASON FOR EVERY TIN DAT HAPPENS TO U
Yeah God gives us what we deserve but not in times of negative things...the scripture says his thought for us are good and not evil to give us a glorious end...he said not an evil end. But we must know that the Devil is always there to do the otherwise thereby instead of the positive things happening all we get is the reverse that is devil in action for u, so it takes a man and a woman who understands his place in God to turn it around...so God never give negative things as to become what we deserve...no! not at all
I don't tink is true! Ma opinion dou.......
Linda can't you let Tchidi and Sophia be? You are beginning to take advantage of their already messed up life.
it strange cos I av nt heard such sayings before. Anyway d God i know is a merciful God slow to get angry and ever faithful and true to His words, so there is no hw He can give us wot we deserve Never! no mata hw wicked a person is God still luks forward to the day he will surrender his life to Him so before he does that God continues to be good towards such. So my dear Linda it is a capital NO.
It is true that what comes to us is the product of our thinking but beyond that, there is a profound will of the divine which is responsible for making the attractions of our innate desires available to us.
For me I do not see it as dat sometimes God allows some things happen to test our faith in him, for instance Hannah didn't deserve to be barren but God allowed it to see d extent of her faith and when he did she was with child but den sometimes human beings are d architect of their own problems, u see a lady at her young age she goes through series of abortion then when she is married she is going in out of prayer houses for a child dat isn't God's making is it? For his thoughts for us are of good and not of evil.......
It's not that. I think it's 'God won't give you something you cannot handle'.
i don't think so..but if somtin bad is happening to u God knw, he want his name to be praised out of it cos if somtin bad is happening to u and u keep praying for it to change and he does it for you u'll praise his name. so som tin bad tin happen to good people so dat God's name will be praised.
Gog is good... Never wish bad tins 4 us
It's nature's way of repaying too kind with too bad but you have to balance it, u meet at the middle, you will get things not to bad or too good!! But so many I mean so many have failed in balancing, it is either they meet with good or bad people becos they either too good or too bad
LET SAY YES. GOD GIVES US WHAT WE DESERVE BUT MOST OFTEN THAN NOT GOD DOES NOT GIVE US THOSE BAD THINGS WE PICKED THEM UP BY CHOICE AFTER OPENLY IGNORING ALL THE SIGNS THAT SAY YOU SHOULD NOT.
ON THE OTHER HAND, FOR EVERY NEED THERE IS A PROVISION. WHATEVER GOD GIVES YOU HAS HAS PREPARED YOU FOR IT. SO IF U HANDLE IT WISELY, YOU WILL ALWAYS COME OUT STRONGER AND BETTER.
God is good
There is a potential that God sees in u and He knows that u can handle d situation,all u have to do is work on urself to fit in and handle that situation without bias mind. Thats why such things are coming ur way to discover and use ur God given potentials to take vital decisions.
Rubbish saying the say man,s world where did bible says it. Or God says it I disagree with this saying we deserve bad things that happen τ̅o us IN̶̲̅» our marriages totally liar. By name happy
Its not like anything dat goes wrong in our life comes as a result of God dealing with us.Life generally is not fair,sometimes bad things happens to good people.
Linda ikeji the feminist. You forget to mention the BAD WIFE too. Some women are more devilish than men. The bible refer them to as JEZEBEL SPIRIT.
It just might be the case. i used to meet very wonderful people in the past and treated them badly. Now that I'm married my spouse is the complete opposite of those i hurt in the past and now i feel i deserve all i get dished. Carma is a bitch!
yea,i will say it thru to some.but God dont give bad things to people,like it is sad in d Holy book,while men slept d enemy went to sow tears and this one too that says every good and perfect gifts comes from God
Really, really? its not true.
I totally disagree with that statement. God is not a man, if he were to judge us based on our own actions, it would never rain on earth and there would be famine. Jesus' dieing on the cross would have been for nothing. It is definitely wrong
If that sayin is true,I dnt think there will anybody on this earth at this time. God is so loving and full of compassion,a God who neva hold our wrongs against us
this is by no ways true . i think the saying should be or is "God does not give us what we can't handle" it might be hard, bad , heartbreaking all the bad words but he knows we can handle it. Job in the Bible is a classic example of this. Even that, God was not the one who caused the bad thing to happen, he allowed it because he believes in His Children as we are meant to Believe in HIM to carry us through.
All i can say is when something bad happens to baby that knows nothing the baby deserved it?
What does it matter Linda, if I share my thought now u will use it n cook soup. Lol leave me ooo
Nothing happens without God's knowledge, I believe we will all be tested and our faith shall be ascertained
God does not give us a burden more than we can carry, not everyone deserved pain and other bad occurrence. EVERYTHING IS A MEANS TO THE INEVITABLE END.
If anything good happens 2 pple they ll say they deserve it so also if bad things happen, pple shud als check themselves, simple!
If anything good happens 2 pple they ll say they deserve it so also if bad things happen, pple shud als check themselves, simple!
Hw can sm1 wish his/her self a bad thing.....plz God does not give anybody bad things rather he gives us d good things which we deserve bcos we ar his children an he loves us so much. So linda I disagree an that's my thought
Bad things happen to good people while good things happen to bad people.
I don't think so,Linda. We are part of the battle between good and evil and the devil will do anything to destroy us. We all know the devil deceives and misleads.The story of Adam and Eve is a good example.
This is where prayer comes in. We just have to pray regularly. The Lord's prayer ends with 'and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil'. That section wasn't included for nothing.
Also, going through bad or hard times doesn't mean we deserve it. God may be testing our faith, teaching us, or preparing us for something great. We know the biblical stories of Abraham and Sarah,Job,Elizabeth etc.
We just have to be alive spiritually and communicate with God frequently through prayer. Praying for 5 minutes everyday is a good start.
Hmmm! Linda don turn me to pastor.
Because one is a bad person doesn't mean he or she will have bad hubby,friends,family members,and bad things around him or her
mercy: God given us that which we do not diverse (mostly good)
Judgment: God given us that which we deserve (good or bad)
God is capable of both. Our pray should be for mercy to prevail over judgment
Christians - We love to contradict ourselves.
The Bible says that "no one is righteous, no not one"(Romans 3:10). We all must go through pain, suffering and tribulation, God allows these things to happen in order to strengthen us.
When Paul was afflicted, he begged the LORD three time to take away his pain. In response the LORD said to him, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."(2 Corinthians 12:9). Paul added 'Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me'.
God allowed Satan to test Job but Job was faithful despite all he went through. And God restored all he lost. Satan is a tool of God and when he allows him to afflict a believer, it is for God glorious purpose-to make the believer rely on Christ, become like Christ and display the power of Christ in him or her.
God is good all the time and all the time God is good.
I do not agree, most time bad tinz happen to good pple, thatz why in what eva we do, we av to be very prayerful,always ask God to direct our step so wen don't fall victim.
Its a 50 50 thing. Our God is not a wicked one and at the same time if u offend u will get ur condemnation
Na only God fir ansa dis question. Have you ever truly wonderd why bad things happen to good people. It's beyond human comprehension
yoruba wud say'a fowo fa'****Chidinmaekile: Life Is Not Trosy, it's is A Boli-Licious Something--http://dahvogue.blogspot.com/2014/04/chidinmaekile-life-is-not-trosy-its-is.html
GOD is not Wicked and HE is not a Man.HE is Merciful and Kind.
1 Samuel 16:7
But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Colossians 2:13-14
When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the written code, with its regulations, that was against us and that stood opposed to us; he took it away, nailing it to the cross.
God gives us what is good for us, God gives us what we need to make us better people or to make heaven. Think of it this way Linda if you have a bad husband you become prayerful, you become stronger, get closer to God and you begin to understand that God is the only one who will love you no matter what and you understand that we are not going to be in this world forever that we are just passing through. A lot of bad things have happened to me but they've made me a better human being. It's also God testing your faith in him. It's a lot of things Linda, deeper than we can even comprehend. It's not even about what one deserves or not it's just fate. It is what makes us, this is life! Nobody said we were coming to earth to chill. That's just how I see it. But, Nigerians (especially) believe if something bad happens to you must have 'offended' someone or you must have done something. lol and you people wonder why we are still behind and boko haramers are blowing up people.
I agree wit u Linda,he's not a wicked God,d bible says dat his thots for us r nt of evil but Good,before anything bad happens,he shows us but because we r in a haste we do not pause to listen to th e spirit,dat saying is totally not true and it's not fair to God.
I would rather say we attract who we are into our lives. If all your friends are bad you had better check yourself, parrots don't hang out with ducks!
No, he will not give us snake if our parents can give us fish. sometimes is what the person deserve's law of karma. God sure gives us our heart desires but perfect all that concerns those who fear, worship and obey his laws. His thought for us is of good and not evil. So when u marry based on what you see and feel and not what God says in his holy book you end up with bone in your throat. Sometimes too we meet these type of people to make us strong in all area of our life, Cos for you to be a successful man or woman in life you have to meet the good, the bad, and the ugly. Always think of the future when taking any action today.
God gives Us †ђξ best if only we re patient Enough. If U av A̶̲̅ bad husband, its nt wat U deserve, its just wat U av @ dat point in time. God can stil change Him, only if U seek HIS face.
You knw we human beings chose by sight but God looks @ d heart. In most case we make our choices,we hardly allow God to give us wat we deserve. The bible says the gift of God maketh rich and adds no sorrow, and also said "can a child ask of bread frm his father and he ll give him stone,and snake for fish? if men as wicked as they ar knw hw 2 give gud tins to their children hw much more shall our heavenly Father give good things to them that ask Him"(matt 7:9-11).God gives us what is best 4 us if only we asked of Him believe in Him and wait for Him. He said @ his favorable(right) time he wld hear us (isaiah 49:8. We only get wat we deserve if we do not wait for God to give us.
$$k@y$$
I disagree completely and it is a flawed concept, just as 'karma' is... God has given us the latitude to 'sus' out and avoid bad characters, in the case of your example Linda, and we ought to make good use of it!
How else would we appreciate the GOOD if we don't experience the BAD? all these people come through our lives to teach us lessons at a particular point in time and some are because we refused to be patient and wait on GOD. we simply feel we are smarter and make our judgments based on what we see and how we feel.so its two sided, some are from God to teach us lessons whilst some are man - made, we put them upon ourselves.
It's a saying people twist to suit situations. I believe the saying "God gives us what we can handle" is more appropriate. Jesus didn't deserve what He went through nd there's something called "unmerited flavour" we don't always deserve even the good things that happen to us.
First of all, I believe only what you do must come back to you, keep doing good and it comes back to you...some people do bad and escape cuz of Gods grace and mercy and some suffer from the afflictions of others through association and relation...but all in all it is true..
Linda I think this saying is meant to be looked at with the eyes of theology.Don't forget as christians we are bound to face many trials and temptations,I think this the sufferings/pains comes we deserve them as christians.a time is coming when we will suffer no more!
If its not this explanation,then the hell this saying no get meaning
We need to understand that God does not try us with evil things. Gods original plan for Mankind is to live in a paradisiac environment.
Bt since Adamic sin has spread to all mankind, we are bound to face difficulties.
The Bible's prophecies also foretold that in the tail end of this world,global situations will go from bad to worse.
So whatever we experience now is the fulfillment of Bible's prophecies and not because we deserve it.
Youre so pathetic.... What about a bad wife? Is there nothing like that? You women are so quick to cry fowl about a bad husband, while there are so many bad wives out there.
I think people are just so quick to blame everything on God, misfortune, bad luck, bad life, bad relationship, etc and they end up saying God is ok with it! The truth is God is not! The book of Jeremiah 29:11 says 'For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end'. As children of God, we deserve the best and God wouldnt give us anything other than the best. Maybe when people start taking responsibility for most of the wrong things we do then we'll know that most bad things that happens to us is our fault and not Gods. What I'm saying is God doesn't make mistakes neither would he lie, he wants the best for us always and thats what we deserve!
Not all but some people truly deserved what happened to thme
Well he gives us what he thinks we can manage and carry
Truth is God is just plain bias even from the bible, if u find favor in his sight den he favors u, if u don't u are doomed. Even christ said the ones my father has given me, so there are some he did not. Well guess we are all under is rule nothing we can do. Buh like I said he is plain bias.
I don't believe in the entirety of that statement. I believe that through the mercy of God we receive the good things of life - not that we deserve it. As for bad things that occur, I believe God makes us go through things to test our faith. There's no such thing as a bad person, one simply has to pray and trust in him to change things.
that is NOT true....I've always disputed this saying...if God were even to deal with us humans the way we deserved, not one of us would or should have life.
Like you that is pushing 40 and not married yet... Do you deserve it? #just asking....
That's complacency. U get what u want. There several factors involved though. Time, chance, decisions(good or bad), luck & most importantly vision & hardwork
I don't agree with the saying "God gives us what we deserve". God has given us the free will to choose whatever we feel is right for us, good or bad with each having its consequence. What we deserve therefore is mostly the consequence of our choices.
if it is good, then it is God(because God is a GOOD God)if it is bad, then its not God...it could just be an oversight ,ignorance or lack of detail on our part.
I dont believe, the thot of God towards his children are thot of good not evil, he loves us too much...(For ur Nigerian food channel subscribe on bbm channel C00219980)
U see Linda, when it comes to marriage, na u go choose o! which is why the scripture says tha he who FINDS a wife... All this chronicled when Adam blamed God saying "its the wife You gave me..." so na choice whoever u marry. Bt u know God na, there re some excepional cades.
No I disagree, or are they Trying to say Those People who are poor Deserve to be poor? nd those Who are are Sick Deserve to be sick? Or are U trying to say that the Situation u are nw u Deserve it? That Y there is this Say that no condition is Permanent, we Deserve the Best nd That we will Get IJN. Mz peeee,,,
I don't agree with the saying "God gives us what we deserve" God has allowed the freedom to have our own will to choose either good or bad with its consequences. God of course already knows what is good for us but still allows us to express our freedom. Our actions derived from our choices therefore have consequences, good or bad.
God gives what you ask.... However, its not always:- For his thoughts for us are of good and not of evil which will bring us to our expected end.. If ur in a hurry to receive when God says 'wait' or 'no' den watever ƴ۵џ get is wat ƴ۵џ deserve. Trials and temptations are part of the christain faith
1cor 10v13 is d answer..
God is sovereign, i beleive for some people its punishment especially those who have been wicked and deserve it.....but i beleive for someone who has never hurt a fly even his elect children God allows bad things to happen to us sometimes to test us, and to show us his saving hand and gracve....a good example is JOB in the bible...he was a righteous man yet God allowed the devil afflict him and he lost everything...he suffered for a very long time...but he learnt alot in his suffering and eventually GOD restored him. will a sinner who is now saved appreciate GODs grace if he didnt pass through wat he passed through....will a poor man who is now rich appreciate GOD if he didnt pass through suffering....
Linda shabi u will first get husband before u check if na bad husband or not. U no get husband u dey there dey talk abt bad husband
God giveth u a thing and addeth no sorrow to it,so if anytin dat brings sorrows to ur life its not from God..bad husband,bad friends etc.so d only tin God allow us to do is d freedom to make a choice,he didn't choose d bad husband u married 4 u..so if u r confuse on d choice to make u go on ur kneels nd pray 4 his direction.nd if u are already wit a bad spouse God said he as d heart of men in his hands,so he as d power to change dat bad hubby,bad friends 4 you.

Yes I totally agree. I believe the Almighty is perfect, His Will and Laws are perfect as well.
We are on earth to grow, to develop our spirits and in order to do that we will have to go through certain experiences. Sometimes these experiences are horrible but they are what we need at that moment. For a person with a bad husband, it could be for you to become stronger emotionally and spiritually. It may be for you to have a more alert spirit. Also, it may be the seeds you have sown, either in thots, words of deed. The things we have done to others. We may not be bad totally but it doesn't mean we haven't sown bad seeds. The reasons are numerous and varied but I believe strongly in the perfection of the Laws of the Almighty, I believe that He is not an arbitrary God but that (as the saying goes, orderliness is next to godliness) there is order in all that happens in creation. That our thots, words, actions (and inaction) create the experiences we go through. Good or bad.
It is not by chance that we have all the sayings about how difficult times make u better, how challenges r stepping stones to greatness. It is there in the bible that all things work for the good of those who love and trust God.
I trust in His Perfection and the Perfection of His Will and Laws. Despite how my life turns out, I know every experience is ultimately what I deserve either through the seeds I have sown or because I need to grow.
Great article! Great question! ! The truth is that I don't think God gives us anything bad in life, He is a caring and loving one and always aspire to give us the good things in life.
Let's talk about life then: This universe is filled with great/good things but only those who are willing to believe and conquer it are winners. You are able to have whatever u wished for in this life if u really believe in urself, telling the universe what u want and working towards that.... Most of the successful people in the world are not successful becos they work hard but becos of the believe they have in success and knowing the actual way of getting it.
Biblical we were told that we have power and dominion over everything in in the universe, and yes that's how it is.....bit all depends on You, the choice u made. I know atimes life is full of ups and downs but mostly of the things that happens to us is the choice we made.
It's surprising how people do say atimes: oh take heart, is God who chooses it to be so, mehn I don't believe in that. ....... The world is filled with sorts of powers/energy. ... Negative and positive energy: But the negative powers seems to be conquering that of positive due to the fact we all have lost the real sense of life.
No! That's a wrong statement Cos God says that His thoughts for us are of good n not of evil. Also God allows bad things to happen to us so that when d good things comes ,we appreciate it, trials dont last forever. God sees n knows everything. He's a Great God.
I personally don't agree with that statement
So those dat r born in a poor family,is it d will of God to see dem suffer..No! The only tin to do once u find ursef in an unpleasant situation is to draw more closer to God nd pray without ceasing,with God all things r possible..

God does not give us what we deserve. God gives us what we deserve is not a popular saying, u jez believe it is. God gives us more than what we deserve
God giveth u a thing and addeth no sorrow to it,so if anytin dat brings sorrows to ur life its not from God..bad husband,bad friends etc.so d only tin God allow us to do is d freedom to make a choice,he didn't choose d bad husband u married 4 u..so if u r confuse on d choice to make u go on ur kneels nd pray 4 his direction.nd if u are already wit a bad spouse God said he as d heart of men in his hands,so he as d power to change dat bad hubby,bad friends 4 you.
Vickchizy
I believe that's true! You get what you deserve, sometimes to prepare you for better things or make you stronger. There is always a reason for everything.
God does not give us bad things as a cross for our sins. So why do some good women end up with bad husbands. Well, I think like in the case of Job, God allowed him to be tempted by the devil knowing he would overcome. 1cor10:13 says God will only give us trials that we can handle and he will create a room for escape. God's plans for us are good and not evil to give us an expected end. We cannot tell the mind of God.
Will u attest dat bad tin ve never happened 2 u? My dear, so long as u re on earth, Life can never b perfect. So I do not believe in d saying. Reward 4 everything is after here. That's heaven or hell.
Girls who mess around before marriage are given men who cheat on them too. What goes around ,come around
Good things happen to all, as well as bad things, the Bible says evil befalls good and bad people, the rain falls on both good and bad, as well as the sun...the thing is time and chance happens to us all. It is what you make out of Life that brings about your testimony. God gave you a brain, so He could rest...Selah
It hurts M̶̲̅ε̲̣̣̣̥ I can't comment on the "Sophia and Tchikere "Page ..
Again, I wil say this , Tchidi is a Big Fool....no mata wat he posts on twitter 2 justify wat he did , I wil never believe him..not because ⌣̊┈̥-̶̯͡»̶̥A̶̲̥̅♏ a woman, bt becos av gone tru the same tin as Sophia and my hubby did. And said far worse ..so I knw all d lies tryin to justify himself ! Even if that nuella gets babies for him , it can neva ever ever ever change that Sophia will and will always be the 1est and Mother of 3 Big Soildiers ...and in igbo tradition, nuellas kids wil always take the back seat ...Useless man and May God continually purnish that prostitute Nuella.....if tchidi can leave his wife of 3big boys , the same and worse wil befall U̶̲̥̅̊ !! Ashewo!!!
So Bona get fine baby like dis.....Akpor!
To be pushing 40 and not married is a choice, just like being anonymous and ignorant. You could be anonymous and knowledgeable if you will. Knowledge sets in when the expression of ignorance cools off.

I don't think that the statement is accurate. The truth is God doesn't really give us what we deserve, starting with his Son, who gave his life for us. He gives us grace too, which none of us is worthy of. And when we go through hard times, He's only putting us through that to make us stronger and mature enough to handle His divine plan for our lives. Gold goes through fire before it becomes refined. Clay pots must be moulded and made uncomfortable, look awkward, and sometimes ugly before they look beautiful. He is the potter and we are the clay.
Lol,never seen d verse in d bible.he said we should ask
LINDA IS THIS NOT YOU IN THIS PICTURE!
i believe the quote is God does not give us what we deserve cuz if he shld we will all be most miserable based on our actions. all trials n tribulations are for a certain period of time to show forth his glory n make u a testimony in the end. thats wat we all look forward to in d end.
Well, we are all made in the image and likeness of God; we are God's best friends until we begin to yield to the demands of the flesh which is sin.
When that happens, we now have to choose to get back that image and likeness i.e the initial plan, or choose the other route which may seem to be the easy way out to the natural eyes.
Now when we choose the way of the Lord, he'll leave us to be refined/purified with all sorts of challenges (more like gold is never pure if it hasn't gone thru fire). The more you push, the more the challenges. Remember that all those challenges and setbacks are caused by satan and his agents, as to get our souls for their Kingdom. If you scale through, nothing and nothing will ever pull you down again, because at this point, you've seen it all and has realised that God is *the only* way.
And as we know; God never fails!
So yes, when one is with God, he gives you the bestest of the things you deserve..
Was really difficult commenting; network's really bad.
* My R1.50c comment *
Yes he gives us wat we deserve,"For I know the plans I hv for u declares d LORD,plans to prosper u n not to harm u, plans to give u hope n a future. It is when we disobey him that he leave us which now gives Devil to operate.All tins work 2geda 4 gud to dem dat luv God WHO WORK ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE.put on d whole Amor of God, he warn us! So dat d arrows of d devil will not penetrate us. Contrary to ppl blive God giveth he taketh dat BULSHIT: GOD gives but our actions allow d devil to take it
@ stern must u comment......abeg kick!
What we get is wat we attract.. laws of attraction. GOD gives us wat we can handle. We get wat we attract. . Negative vibes .. good vibes all is attraction. So wat we get is wat we attract but its not wat we deserve and God wont give us wat we deserve he gives us wat he knws is best for us.
