“Why I have never prayed before in my life” – Seun Kuti

Afrobeat musician and activist Seun Kuti has revealed that he has never prayed in his life. In a recent video broadcast via his Instagram account, Kuti expressed skepticism about the effectiveness of prayer. In the video, he criticised public displays of worship, describing them as childish. He argued that choices and actions are what shape an individual and not prayers. I have never prayed before in my life. I dont know how to pray. I dont believe it works. Your life is your prayer. Praying in the public or aloud is eye service. It is childishness, he said. Your life is the prayer. What you do with your life is your prayer. That is the only prayer. Your action is prayer. Somebody say so you dont believe in God? This concept of God that most people have is why prayer is even now completely noid and void. Because this God you talked about, you claimed he has already written down what is going to happen from the beginning to end; his will must be done. So, except your prayer aligns with his will If your prayer does not align with the will of this your God, then your prayer will not be answered. But clerics wont tell you this because they want to exploit you. I solve my problems. I dont pray over my problems. If prayer solves problems, prisons and hospitals would be empty, he added. The post “Why I have never prayed before in my life” Seun Kuti appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
