Can I convince God to bless me from a WhatsApp post?

Is God a mortal being to be cajoled by shared WhatsApp posts or likes or "amen" comments and very long prayers?

From one perspective, this habit can be compared to that of the Pharisees who seek to be seen by men.

 Remember the Bible says: "But when you pray, go into your inner room, shut your door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you" (Mathew 6:6).

To others, it might be about "cementing" faith or keeping the dream alive or persistence (Galatians 6:9).

However, this should not make my fellow Christians (especially Africans) sit back and hide our laziness behind prayers/likes/comments then pick Bible verses that suit our circumstances.

 It is good that we already understand God's ability to grant the desires of our hearts (Mark 11:24). God has already told us that we are His sons and co-heirs with Christ (Romans 8:17).

 If you've already typed "amen" before and your prayers were answered, then you might have discovered how to ask for what is rightfully yours; your faith has moved mountains (Mathew 17:20).

But then, was it just out of sharing your faith to "10 of your beloved friends including me" alone?The principle of causality governs us, but in this case, the action (sharing/liking/commenting) is not entirely responsible for the effect (blessings).

By merely participating in this online abracadabrantesque, you are simply expecting something out of nothing. Recall, "Prayer without works is dead"? (James 2:17). Let's work hard and smart friends.
