The armed robber takes your money from
you with a gun in his hand: the pastor
takes your money by brandishing a bible.
Jesus berated the mercenary religious
leaders of biblical days. He told them: “‘It
is written, my house shall be called a
house of prayer,’ but you have made it a
‘den of thieves.’” (Matthew 21:13).
This word remains pertinent to pastors in
the churches of today. They come up with
all kinds of schemes designed to squeeze
money out of their church-members. They
search the scriptures, looking for quotable
quotes that can be used to make
merchandise of men. Some of their
favourites are those scriptures dealing
with giving first-fruits to priests.
Fleecing the flock
Those months with names ending with
“ember” in English are sometimes
referred to as the “ember” months. These
include September, October, November
and December. Strictly-speaking, October
does not fit this bill; otherwise it would
have been called “Octoember.”
Nevertheless, it is conventional also to
include it as one of the “ember” months.
In these months, there is a definite change
of emphasis in the messages preached by
pastors in many of today’s new generation
churches. If you have been paying
attention, you would have noticed this
already. In the “ember” months, pastors
start to talk repeatedly about the need to
give “first-fruits;” laying down the
foundation for a major robbery routinely
planned for January.
In the Old Testament, first-fruits were
required to be given to priests. Ezekiel
says: “The best of all the first-fruits and of
all your special gifts will belong to the
priests.” (Ezekiel 44:30). This scripture is
seized on by today’s money-grubbing
pastors who now insist that the “first-
fruits” of all the members of their
congregation must be handed over to
them.
This is disingenuous because, in the New
Testament, there is actually no longer an
exclusive priesthood. Instead, Jesus has
made all believers: “kings and priests to
our God.” (Revelation 5:10). But this fact
is conveniently ignored by today’s first-
fruits collectors.
First-fruits were given to priests because
they were not allowed to own landed-
property in Israel. God said: “I am to be
the only inheritance the priests have. You
are to give them no possession in Israel; I
will be their possession.” (Ezekiel
44:28-29).
However, the pastors of today are men of
means and property owners. In no way
whatsoever do they fit the bill of a people
without inheritance who only have God as
their possession. Indeed, some of today’s
mega-pastors are multi-millionaires who
drive around with bodyguards in a cortege
of Jeeps and even fly around in private
jets.
Fruits of money
As the word indicates, first-fruits were
strictly-speaking agricultural produce.
Moses says: “The first of the first-fruits of
your land you shall bring into the house of
the LORD your God.” (Exodus 23:19). This
shows first-fruits were crops. Indeed,
money was never regarded as first-fruit in
the bible; neither was it ever paid as such.
However, today’s pastors would not find it
funny if you were to bring your first-fruits
to them in bananas or pineapples. First-
fruits are now only acceptable in cash or
cheque. If you ask why, don’t be surprised
if you are told that: “Money is the answer
to everything.” (Ecclesiastes 10:19).
Scripturally, first-fruits were only
required from Jews living in Israel
because God gave them their land. First-
fruits were inapplicable to Israelites living
in foreign lands. This also means first-
fruits are inapplicable to today’s
Christians who are mostly non-Israelis
and do not live in Israel. Nevertheless,
pastors hoodwink Christians by claiming
there are special blessings attendant upon
giving first-fruits to pastors anywhere.
In biblical days, first-fruits were not
required from those in non-agrarian
trades, such as carpenters or fishermen
because these professions were not tied to
the land. However, today’s opportunist
pastors collect first-fruits from anybody
and everybody.
It should be clear from the foregoing
therefore that pastors who insist on
collecting first-fruits in the churches of
today are nothing but thieves and robbers.
The armed robber takes your money from
you with a gun in his hand: the pastor
takes your money by brandishing a bible.
Bonanza
It used to be the case that first-fruits were
defined as a Christian’s first salary after
leaving school and securing gainful
employment. But some pastors quickly
realised that this only gives them the right
to a Christian’s salary once in a lifetime.
Therefore, this soon became inadequate,
leading to more ingenious and more
financially lucrative biblical “revelations”
about first-fruits.
Many pastors now insist that since the
January salary is the first in the year, it
legally falls under the definition of first-
fruits. Therefore, they now require that all
church-goers hand over to them their
entire January salaries in the name of
first-fruits. This makes the first-fruits
boon far more profitable than the tithe;
which is just a tenth of the Christian’s
salary. Moreover, the tithe is nominally
given to “the church.” The “first-fruits” is
a far more rewarding scam because the
money is specifically addressed to the
pastor.
If this “godliness” is taught effectively, a
pastor can make a bundle of money at the
beginning of every year. Just do the
maths. Imagine a situation where the
pastor gets the January salary of every
single member of his congregation.
Depending on the size of his church, he
can get in one bonanza enough money to
last him a lifetime. Is it any wonder,
therefore, that pastors are very zealous in
preaching about first-fruits in the “ember”
months?
Many even refuse to be limited to their
churches. Turn onto Christian television
such as the Trinity Broadcasting Network
in the “ember” months, and you are likely
to find Paula White or Steve Munsey
extolling the blessings of giving first-
fruits. Of course, the first-fruits must be
sent to them and to no one else.
Comeuppance
In one of Nigeria’s big churches with a
large branch-network, the pastors were
making a killing collecting first-fruits. But
one of them used the money to put up a
church building. This went a long way to
endear him to his congregants. Other
pastors who had nothing to show for the
first-fruits they collected became
concerned that the pastor would soon
bring them into disrepute. So they decided
to take “appropriate” action.
They reported him to the General
Overseer of the church. His transgression
was that he put up an entire church
building single-handedly. So doing, they
claimed, he prevented others from getting
blessed by not taking contributions from
them. The General Overseer wondered
where he got the money to erect the entire
building by himself. So they told him the
money came from the first-fruits he
collected from his church-members.
The General Overseer became even more
curious. Just how much first-fruit were
these pastors collecting? He was
astonished to discover the sums involved.
It was unacceptable that such lucrative
business was taking place in his churches
without due recognition for his position.
Therefore, he fired a memo to all his
parishes: henceforth, all first-fruits must
be forwarded intact to headquarters.
However, his memo backfired. Thereafter,
his subordinate pastors noticeably lost all
interest in collecting first-fruits. “Let
everybody shout hallelujah.”
“They are greedy dogs which never have
enough. And they are pastors who cannot
understand; they all look to their own
way, every one for his own gain, from his
own territory.” (Isaiah 56:11).

Babasessy:
I know looks or physical attraction are important when finding a life partner. But its important to sometimes look at attributes beyond physical appearance to decide whether to move forward in a relationship.That would be called "compromise." Looks do matter to a degree but....It is good when people can come together in love despite one or both not being the other's set "type", yes, but it's also not bad when someone can't do that. You can't fault someone for not being attracted to someone.


In the online world normally the first impression you get of a person is a picture, and most people won't even bother to look at the profile if the picture doesn't fit the mold they have created to be a good match. Maybe you find out this person is funny, has a big heart, hard working and so on. That might make up for some of their other shortcomings.
Well lets face it, looks fade but whats inside will always be there.

There are women who value other things much more than a man's looks. They are most attracted to intelligence, personality, financial stability and other attributes. Looks may be secondary to them, but still play a part in their evaluation of a potential partner

People live and learn. Some learn faster than others. Some repeat the same mistakes time and time again. As we age, most of us learn what is most important to us. We learn not to expect perfection. At the same time, we learn there are some chracteristics we value in a partner that must be there. For most people, this will require a self-evaluation. We think about past relationships and what was right or wrong in those relationships. We hopefully pull something from that to use in building new relationships.

I concur that attraction has to be there, but there has to be much more than just attraction. In my experience, finding someone you're compatible with and enjoy being with can lead to an attraction growing. Attraction is only part of the puzzle that makes a successful relationship. It helps to launch relationships, but it can also be a piece that comes later, after other pieces have fallen into place and the relationship is coming together.

The story of Tim Femi Oladipo, is quite inspiring hence, I decide to share it with you.
Read excerpts from his Facebook Timeline below:

[b]Take a very good look at the pictures to your left!


Yeah! That was me! Yeah! Timothy Oladipo fresh off the African boat (well plane) in my grand entry with shirt made out of pillow cases! in August of 1987!

The most pronounced and prominent part of my body was my head and the excited geeky smile that I touched ground in London Heathrow!

It was almost 2 months after this that I met my wife who was born and raised in England! Can I be honest with you now? I probably wouldn't have married me seeing this geeky smile and what seemed like a hunger stricken body. Ah!



But when everything disqualifies me in the Natural sense (as in the packaging) Shola looked beyond the physical and saw the positive contents. A year after she said yes to me in marriage almost 27 years ago!

The dude to the right is what a lot would probably dream of as a husband material in our today's world because society has taught us to not add value to life or relationship but only to go for the 'refined' 'signed and delivered' man or woman.

Hardly would any woman have said yes to the guy who's life belongings and worldly wealth were put in a calendar bag! Oh No!!!(Does anyone remember those bags?) . Oh no! Some would think I was not toshy or oity-toity enough, or even swaggy enough to be introduced to their friends!

What has befallen our world today? Why do we always desire the finished products? Why are more and more people no longer willing to strive and struggle to build a home together? I doubt if any other woman would have been able to carry the grace on my wife to put up with my inherent African madness, or my unrefined self before I get to where I am today... Mind you I am still very far from where I should be!

People please be reminded that the package may look wrong, but the content might be glorious... And the package may look wonderful and the content awful!

Chose today not for the world, but from God's own perspective for you.

Marriage is not a child's play, and you don't get to chose only your favourable parts! [/b]
