God has tried umpteenth attempts to preach/teach us as how to live life through the ages vide his messengers whom we call prophets. He has tried ALL possible means : love, fear of punishment, sops, etc. Inspite the number of so-called obedients are much lesser than disobedients ? Miraculous, is it ? or it is Divine ?

No. Because he can creat a world all perfect for himself, and live in it. He is perfect. WE aren't. He creates his own world, but he created ours. And we cannot alter our world like he can, there for making him the better off. HE just wants us to become LIKE him, not actually him...

Interesting question when you consider our perspective vs what His may be. "Better off" may be difficult to determine on a relative scale. I think there is some truth in the addage "ignorance is bliss". Therefore, in the hearts and minds of those who may not believe or, understand eternal security, it is quite possible they may (for now) be better off. I say so because I believe in the Father's agape love, which must sadden his heart deeply to see blind ignorance and a diluting influence leading his children toward an eternity apart from Him.
God is omnipitent which makes our relationship with Him personal and individual. Just as His heart would be deeply saddened by those lost or gone astray, He is equally joyed when one gives his/her heart and life to Him in love and obedience. Under these circumstances, I would suggest both the individual AND God are "better off" as a matter of the heart.
If I understand your question, it has several different perspectives depending on who is answering it, as well as who they are answering for (1st 2nd, or 3rd person). Therefore, the concept of "better off" in this world is framed by the individual and their personal relationship with God.

No! if we were better off than GOD then why do have all this stupid, unneccessary war...killing innocent people...he did try all means possible but did we listen? no... that's why we keep committing the same mistakes that people before us did and its not giving us peace, unity, freedom and love....

I am not sure what kind of question this. A servant can't be greater than his master. If you want to seek God and do so...you will find truth & God. Best of success on your spiritual journey.

No. If man does not listen and obey God, that is man's choice, not God's.
Perhaps that is part of why presently in this country, many people are running down (even in R&S) other people. (Man is disobeying God).

No... With all due respect, God doesnt have to sit in the company of ignorance at all... He just tunes them out :(
