Poverty does not die by fire, no matter how passionate you are about God – Nigerian Twitter user boldly claims

After stating boldly and firmly that poverty does not die by fire, a Nigerian Twitter user rocked the religious tables.

No matter how fervently someone believed in God or what mantra they repeated, according to Twitter user @maxvayshia, if they didn’t get to work, nothing would happen.

He wrote, “No matter how passionate you are about the almighty and your religion or how loudly you profess positivity, just remember that poverty does not die by fire. Getting up and making efforts and working hard and smart, is the right way to pray.”

@Epaz_N said: “Permit me Doc to take you to Romans 9:16-18. Allow me to add Psalms 127 to it. Needless to say much or argue, those passages in the Bible says it all. Daalu.

@Ikesmarto stated: “And also remember that if God no wan reason your matter you fit be another Lazarus. Just read a book of Ecclesiastes and choose what you do with your life.”

@ikenez added: “Hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty. Proverbs 14:23.”
