That is the problem with Nigerians everybody want to become a boss. It can never work like that. By now you should know that entrepreneurship is a God given talent, not everybody is entrepreneurial. And if everybody is a boss who would work for the boss?

Have you thought of what I said first? Start thinking. get a vision about what you want to start before going to work for someone. That way it will be easier to set your dream into reality.

You graduated 2:1 in economics and you have not started your business let alone owning a company. Why do people do such courses and end up working for another person. If I were you I had rather looked for how to add value to services and make my own. Be my own boss. Call me if you need advice. I studied engineering by the way and I love economics

I have been doing it and I feel fulfilled.

Haha. I thought girls were not meant to see masquerades

How?

lonelydora:
Now, let me teach you a little of the bible. There is a clause in the passage you quoted. Deuteronomy 14.24 says "if the way be too far..." it is only then you can turn it into money and buy whatever you want, including strong drink (Which is where i know you are heading to).


Is your church far? NO. Then take it to where your God has chosen for you.


Are you a farmer? NO. Then bring a tenth of your salary. If you are a farmer, you can bring whatever you farm.

I don't usually engage in religious argument shaa.

Oga I know u can interprete and comprehend. I didn't say read 14:24 for me I said you should read 14:22-29 interprete it and let's talk

lonelydora:
Most people criticising pastors do not even pay tithe or contribute more than 2000 naira for a church project, and they make the loudest noise.

Real givers in church who give large amount of money does so secretly without anyone's knowledge.

People, if as a contractor, i win a big contract or i get promoted in my job with the aid of my pastors prayers, omo, what is 10% or more to give God back?

If you can't pay tithe, leave those that understands the kingdom's principles of tithing to continue.

A check on my bosses, have shown that they donate massively in church projects/pay tithes, reason they keep getting it back in folds.

I have some Alhaji friends (non-fanatics) who whenever i give them invitation for a church project launching, they willingly give me big money in an envelope to give to the Church.

WE NEED A CREED ON CHRISTIAN THREADS HERE JUST LIKE THE MUSLIMS HAVE.

Chai. Broda.... only if you read your bible properly, you won't be talking like this. even the school we go to our teachers force us to read but in truth we read to pass only but. Not to get undersatnding...thats why I will not blame you for the way you talk...go and read detronomy 14:22-29, 26:1 til the end let us dialogue mat 25

IamKashyBaby:
I disagree with this write up..

Becoz U are spreading words that ppol shud be sober instead of giving them hope..

Be careful what u write and the message u wanna send..

What if there are ppol out there who are terminally ill and read this? How wud they feel about this? How about those suicidal? Those ppol who are emotionally distressed? Those who are suffering from depression? Have u ever think about them?

Its not bcoz u are free to write anything, u will juz write anyhow..

I believe intelligent ppol motivate others to progress, enjoy their lives to the fullest..encourage others to change their lives that has a positive impact..

Talking abouth death? Why not CELEBRATE YOUR LIFE INSTEAD?

Forget it. Even Solomon with all his wisdom wrote about it. #vanityisreal

You want equality and feminism, yet you want a man higher than you to marry you. What do you think will naturally happen..... men rule!!!!!

yosmen:
you have not said anything, meaning you have nothing to offer probably lack understanding...i don't need to cast pearls to those who know nothing and those religion has blinded. The sun god and the son of God are not the same. peace

Oga I am not holding you o. I make nothing from what you wrote here. And it will not change the fact that allah is God and also God of Christians. You can hug transformer as another option. Bye

yosmen:
i still stand by that, the Christian God and allah are not the same.

Well I reserve my comment. To have sense is not by force. Your kind of person can say that the sun in Ngeria is different from the one in america just to win argument.

yosmen:
the fact parts of the bible was referenced or added in the volumes doesn't make it the real thing. what is the essence of your faith if not jesus christ, what was all the prophets n patriarch pointing to if not Jesus.
The testimony of jesus is d spirit of prophecy and if its in this life alone u blive in christ, you are of all men most miserable. No other name is given among men to be saved except jesus. That is the core and hard truth of Christianity religious spirits will never admit jesus and His virgin birth. He was born by the Holyspirit and jesus christ is The Lord. Judge by the fruits and d scriptures and not by religious deception. thx u

Let's stick to your statement which you said that the God of christianity is not allah....you see you are the one who is trying to push your misery to me.

yosmen:
its all about jesus, no jesus no Christianity and for the record the God of Christians is not the same as Allah.

Keep deceiving yourself. All the prophets in your Quran like prof ibrahim, musa and the likes were they talking to a different God or still the God of the bible? People perish for ignorance and in your own case, refusal to acknowledge the obvious

As for me, I feel the presence of God in helping my neighbours and through fellowship.

saraki2019:
the only way the feel the presence f God Almighty is through
reading the Holy Qur'an and paying attention to the meaning f the verses
meditating about the wonderful creatures of Allah
doing zikr ( remembrance of Allah)
and if you mean to feel the presence of jesus,
sorry JESUS IS not in this world, you can wait till when you come for the 2nd time.

op any other way you felt any presence Apart from the above , is the presence f demons and ghost, spirits.jinns

Mr sarrki you are right when you said by reading the quran but you also need to act the quran as well. I know many Muslims try their best but you should also understand that christianity is a way of life and not only about our savior Jesus Christ

AnonyNymous:
I don't. I used to try but I realised I was deluded. Extreme excitement of my senses should not be confused with the supernatural. Currently I'm trying to redefine my idea of 'God'. Maybe I'll eventually find out. Maybe there is no God and I'm wasting my time. But thats not of utmost importance to me. What's really important is being the best version of myself I can be- a moral, compassionate, loving human being.

God is a God of signs and wonders. One thing you need to train yourself is to be patient and be very observant. He doesn't come extravagantly sometimes like what our poster posted here but silently in our daily interactions, the people we start meeting and funny things we experience

Another thing is that once you start following God, the devil will start fighting you, people you know will start quarreling with you more temptations will surface. The devil knows that one of his slaves is leaving and will not allow that. At that point you will begin to think the way you are thinking and the devil will have won so unless you are patient enough to allow God manifest in your life, his presence will keep being a mirage to you.

Try following God for a year no matter what is happening around you and thank me next year. God is not a magician as you may see him to be but an omnicsience

babtaima:
I didn't ask for her Facebook password.. we just started dating.. I'm not insecure but I've heard many things about her before we started dating (that she has a lot of orbiters (guys hitting on her 247)).

She must have thought: 'this guy has heard the rumors about me", thus her trying to earn my trust by giving me such a personal thing as a Facebook password? i didn't decline the offer..

Also to add, she's always really nice like super nice when we're together, like this holy Mary attitude and my dad always say: if it's too good it's not true. Could she be that wolf in sheep clothing? have any of you guys encountered such a person? it wouldn't be safe to assume now that she's a pretender.. what are your thoughts on this?

Edit: Some of the nice things she's done are:

*Giving to road side beggar as we drive on a date
*Paying for the food
*Sharing food and drinks with my friends

And generally, not getting angry no matter how hard i pick on her... I think I'm getting played big time. How can i know her true character? though I've checked her messages and saw her flirt messages with her Ex, nothing out of the norm.

It happens that she is afraid of losing you and wants to build Trust between both of you early in the relationship but don't judge her too soon observe her for. 3 - 4 months it a general phenomenon that any relationship that passes the 90 day mark will that a long time

adjoviomole:
Matthew 25 does not correlate with what we are talking about ''tithe''

My bro. Heaven is so Simple to get to but we just make it hard for Ourselves. Look. If I am to take this matter seriously, I will even tell you that tithing is old testament that We are no longer under the law but under grace.
Why is it difficult for you to understand det 14:22-29 and you feel you can understand Mat25?
Now if Jesus felt that tithing will earn you heaven he would. Have mentioned it a thousand times but what did he say. Give to the poor, feed them clothe them, visit the sick and the prisoners, forgive your enemies etc. If you don't understand this, how will det 14:22-29 be easy to get? Pls this dialogue is for us to gain understanding and help ourselves as brothers in christ and not to win argument. Jesus even said "my people perish for lack of understanding. On the last day God will not punish the pastor that misled you but punish you for despite he gave you sense to decipher the scriptures and do them you allow yourself to be deceived. This bible is written in English I can't shout for your case again

adjoviomole:
Does the op need to still pay his tithe or not?

He has paid his tithe completely. Jesus is not a confusionist. Read Mathew 25 and also remember that Jesus is God too

Nobodys:
dear u cant just tel him to go and sit down...in a debate you counter to win...so counter his point whivh would be like countering Gods word...and state your reason as to saying d op did d wrong thing...we kip a blind eye to a verse of d bible and bliv in anoda verse...may god help us all.... Somone even said it was not God dat directed d op...my dear madam how did you know that...

My sister thank you. I did not do anything o. The broda come and say I should go and sidown o

lunacol:
Na pastorpreneur be that then.

Hahahahahahaha you no go kil me here o! My ribs o! Lwkmd rotfl

adjoviomole:
Baba goan sit down in one place jare. The op still owes his tithe simple.

Oga I don't know why you find it hard to read your bible. Open it. And get understanding and. Jesus christ said that whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers that you do unto me. Is Jesus not God again? And secondly, read this

Deuteronomy 14:22. "You shall truly tithe all the increase of your grain that the field produces year by year.
23. And you shall eat before the LORD your God, in the place where He chooses to make His name abide, the tithe of your grain and your new wine and your oil, of the firstborn of your herds and your flocks, that you may learn to fear the LORD your God always.
24. But if the journey is too long for you, so that you are not able to carry the tithe, or if the place where the LORD your God chooses to put His name is too far from you, when the LORD your God has blessed you,
25. then you shall exchange it for money, take the money in your hand, and go to the place which the LORD your God chooses.
26. And you shall spend that money for whatever your heart desires: for oxen or sheep, for wine or similar drink, for whatever your heart desires; you shall eat there before the LORD your God, and you shall rejoice, you and your household.
27. You shall not forsake the Levite who is within your gates, for he has no part nor inheritance with you.
28. "At the end of every third year you shall bring out the tithe of your produce of that year and store it up within your gates.
29. And the Levite, because he has no portion nor inheritance with you, and the stranger and the fatherless and the widow who are within your gates, may come and eat and be satisfied, that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hand which you do.

Bibi294:
Well... Since that's your understanding... No probs...
Do you mean because verses 23 talks about eating tihtes and 29 about not forsaking the levite(less privilege), them what the OP did is justified?

Well, to you I may not understand English but to me, it's mandatory to pay tithes to the Lord's house... Or is the church far from him as stated in the Bible passage? I will repeat it... What op did was almsgiving.... It was not God that ordered him to pay his tithe to the begger...
I won't quote you anymore... So pls stop quoting me

Noooo...I ove you so much to et you go without understanding o. ....... read verse 29 well the quote me after understanding. we are doing online bible studies here.

profmiganigal:
You are totally wrong.....dont dilute the word of God.....

The tithe is meant for the church......pastors and the rest....

If u decide to help a beggar no problem

But ur tithe is meant for the church and be blessed by his servants

You are wrong....and hell is real my brother.

Ask God for forgiveness

Deuteronomy 14:22. "You shall truly tithe all the increase of your grain that the field produces year by year.
23. And you shall eat before the LORD your God, in the place where He chooses to make His name abide, the tithe of your grain and your new wine and your oil, of the firstborn of your herds and your flocks, that you may learn to fear the LORD your God always.
24. But if the journey is too long for you, so that you are not able to carry the tithe, or if the place where the LORD your God chooses to put His name is too far from you, when the LORD your God has blessed you,
25. then you shall exchange it for money, take the money in your hand, and go to the place which the LORD your God chooses.
26. And you shall spend that money for whatever your heart desires: for oxen or sheep, for wine or similar drink, for whatever your heart desires; you shall eat there before the LORD your God, and you shall rejoice, you and your household.
27. You shall not forsake the Levite who is within your gates, for he has no part nor inheritance with you.
28. "At the end of every third year you shall bring out the tithe of your produce of that year and store it up within your gates.
29. And the Levite, because he has no portion nor inheritance with you, and the stranger and the fatherless and the widow who are within your gates, may come and eat and be satisfied, that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hand which you do.

Tweetums:
100% wrong

I find out that it is femaleS who fill the church that don't understand jack about that christ teaches.

Let me break things down for you.

After reading det 14:22-29 then remember Jesus said that whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers, that, you do unto me.

And remember that Jesus. Is God

So if I give to the beggar my tithe, I give to God.
END OF DISCUSSION

Bibi294:
22 Be sure to set aside a tenth of all that your fields produce each year. 23 Eat the tithe of your grain, new wine and olive oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks in the presence of the Lord your God at the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name, so that you may learn to revere the Lord your God always. 24 But if that place is too distant and you have been blessed by the Lord your God and cannot carry your tithe (because the place where the Lord will choose to put his Name is so far away), 25 then exchange your tithe for silver, and take the silver with you and go to the place the Lord your God will choose. 26 Use the silver to buy whatever you like: cattle, sheep, wine or other fermented drink, or anything you wish. Then you and your household shall eat there in the presence of the Lord your God and rejoice. 27 And do not neglect the Levites living in your towns, for they have no allotment or inheritance of their own....
Read with keen interest... Its for a reason

Read verse 23 and 29 carefully, then mention me again....except you don't understand english sorry no offense intended

Nobodys:
