Everyone has their theories about who Christians are type of Christians that exists and they wonder if they are true believers or miracle seekers. My own opinion, we all have our faith and what we believe in and we all have our ways in which to serving and despite our choices, he’s merciful, forgiving, loving and always open to welcome us. But all we have to do is make the right decisions and chose who we want to be, and decide if we really want to serve him or not.
There are two types of Christians, some who believe in God and have blind faith in him, follow in truth and in spirit despite the difficulties, but they believe that as long as he lives and they believe in him, he will definitely come through. The other sets are those who will go to church when they face time of difficulties and in search of miracles because they believe that’s when he matters more in their life, in time of adversaries. You see some come in when they sick, when they’ve only been saved from dangers like accidents and armed robbery.

It’s important to give thanks, share testimonies and appreciate him for the goodness and mercies but the question is, do they remain thankful after that? Do they remember him after getting what they want? Will they have to wait for another miracle before they come back? Where they a believer at first and do they believe now? These are questions we need to ask and know the answer to.
For example, in Nigeria some youths attend churches once a year or when there’s a festive period to celebrate Christ and it has been a common practice over the years. Like on New Year’s Eve, they attend the church just for that night to crossover to the next year due to fear that they will be left behind if eventually rapture happens or they believe that is the most important time for being in church more important than other times.
Others are like Easter period when they celebrate the death and rise of Jesus, and also Shiloh, where they come and pray and tell God their heart desires and hope for it to come to pass and after that period that’s it. Well, all of those times it’s important to serve God not saying it aren’t less important than the other service days, God is always ready to listen and welcome us in his arms.

The reason for all these is when I hear people say and get angry that God did not answer their prayers and he doesn’t exist or he didn’t save them from their struggles. First of all, for you to be a Christian, you have already had that belief that God exists and now you are angry that you prayed he didn’t answer or listen to you but have you also ask yourself if you listened to him?
Some of us don’t have a strong relationship with God yet we want everything to work out just as you plan, but do you know God’s plan on your life? How are your communications, relationship and love for him? Do you seek him in truth and in spirit? These are also things we need to build with him before we can hear him speak to us because he’s always speaking but we are not listening or we can’t hear him due to poor relationship and communication.
Sometimes if things don’t work out for us and we complain and ask God why? What if that what his plan or that thing wasn’t meant for us? And if we forcibly go into it might bring trouble for us or miss out on the big ones installed. God has his ways of doing this and he works in mysterious ways, so all we have to do is trust him in his ways and believe.
For every success and good things to come in our life there will be trials and temptation so for your to overcome them we must get closer to him build our love and communicate with him and be in his presence frequently. So these are the things we must know.
