Act on Faith, Not God’s Yearly Decrees; – Fr. John Oluoma

Rev. Fr. John Oluoma Unveils Christianity's Role in Prosperity Renowned Catholic clergy, Rev. Fr. John Oluoma, has elucidated the nexus between Christianity and economic prosperity. Drawing from Western civilization's success rooted in Judeo-Christian traditions, he emphasized the need to understand and implement the underlying principles rather than merely copying religious practices. Fr. Oluoma asserted that prosperity arises from applying economic principles inspired by Christianity, not merely adhering to religious piety. He underscored the distinction between principles such as private property ownership, security, and production, and religious practices like tithing and fasting. Highlighting the historical examples of America and Israel, Fr. Oluoma contended that stable nations with peace and security experience prosperity, emphasizing the biblical notion that righteousness exalts a nation. He cautions against relying solely on piety, stressing the importance of copying the economic principles that Christian nations employed for prosperity. The clergyman challenged the notion that religious practices alone guarantee wealth, urging believers to contribute to the church based on proper principles rather than expecting prosperity through piety. He dismissed the idea that anointed individuals should command wealth miraculously, asserting that God operates within systems, not through haphazard means. Fr. Oluoma concluded by rejecting the narrative that piety alone could make one wealthy, encouraging individuals to embrace a deeper understanding of the economic principles inherent in Christianity.

In a thought-provoking message, Rev. Fr. John Oluoma, a respected Catholic Priest from the Archdiocese of Abuja, emphasized that God does not announce specific plans for each year, debunking the notion of divine proclamations for 2024. According to Fr. Oluoma, God’s eternal decrees are already in place, and believers should prioritize practical efforts over expecting yearly divine announcements.

Citing Psalms 139:16 and Jeremiah 29, Fr. Oluoma highlighted that God has ordained each day of our lives and holds a good plan for all. Dismissing the idea that God adheres to human calendars, he urged people to focus on natural, socioeconomic, and political factors influencing their lives.
