I just had a nasty experience at the Indian consulate in Ho Chi Minh City.

Here is the entire story:

On Friday, I went to the Indian consulate in HCMC to apply for one month tourist visa, after booking online the previous night. On getting to the consulate, the lady at the reception took my documents inside and after a while, returned to tell me that my visa has been granted in principle. That i have been issued with a single entry visa. However, I must pay 6.3000,000.00 VND about $250. I was shocked when I heard this because I already paid the agent that booked the appointment $100 thinking it included visa fees. They said it was because I’m a Nigerian and we are charged higher. Nevertheless, I decided to go ahead and pay the amount to save myself further stress. But the lady again, insisted I must pay cash.

I called a Vietnamese lady who accompanied me and she helped provide the balance because I had only 3+ million VND with me.

After paying, they collected my passport, Vietnamese visa and then conducted biometrics on me. Then I left.

This morning, I received a call from the consulate that I have to pay another 8 million VND otherwise my visa would not be issued to me. I was shocked and I told them that I can't pay a dime again. They either issue my visa or refund my money. The lady agreed that I should come and get the refund. However, on getting to the consulate, they refused to give me the refund. That it was a new policy. Eventually, I left with my passport. No visa! no $250!

I'm currently feeling robbed and dehumanized. I don't know how to go about this to seek justice.

Pls can anyone help me with advise or pro bono services because I believe I have a good case and such inhuman acts shouldn't be allowed.

Call me I'll connect to my Vietnam partner who'll sort you out quickly.

QUENCH NOT THE SPIRIT’S FIRE (2)

1st Thessalonians 5:19 Quench not the Spirit.
Vs 20 Despise not prophesyings.

There could be the misconception of thinking that Paul meant not to despise people's prophecies (when someone is prophesying to you). That's true, we shouldn’t, however that is not what he was saying here.

We would examine the pretext and post text to help our understanding.

The word 'quench' refers to an action we take to stop what is burning with you and not others. In other words, don't disallow the flow of the spirit through you.

Similar to what Paul said in 1st Corinthians 14:1, 39 and also to Timothy in 1st Timothy 4:14, 2nd Timothy 1:6, you are not to despise or neglect it, rather you are to desire it.

Prophecy is a gift. No gift works on its own without your active participation.

Back to 1st Thessalonians 5:19-20

The post-text is more precise

1st Thessalonians 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

The word 'prove' implies to display; to see or to show; demonstrate. In other words, we can say, “demonstrate all things”; all things referring to prophecy. Experiment all things that is prophecy.

The 'hold fast to that which is good' sums it all up. Prophecy is good, hold on to and never quench its fire.

So, 1st Thessalonians 5:19-20 isn't a text used to judge prophecy but rather using it and enjoying its benefits.

Prophecy edifies the church. Its fire must never be quenched. Hence, Paul's admonitions on never neglecting, despising, forbidding or quenching prophesyings.

Can there be an interpretation without speaking in tongues?

The essence of the interpretation is to give understanding to what was uttered by the ability of the spirit to the mind since no one understands tongues.

If tongues isn't spoken, then there is nothing to be interpreted.

Believers must learn to constantly give themselves to interpretation of tongues. The more you give yourself to it, the more skilful you become at it.

CONFESSION:
I speak with tongues in the name it is a gift from God and my right as a believer. I function in it every day, I do not despise it and am a blessing to other believers via interpretation of tongues.

PRACTICAL:
Have a gathering with one or more believers in which everyone puts to practise the speaking with and interpretation of tongues.

Questions and answers!!!

SIN IS NOT AUTOMATIC FROM BIRTH!!!

I am not a stock broker. I am just someone passionate about investing

Any avenue to guide new investors in this particular market ?

omoabike:
Wealth creation needs diversification. My US investment portfolio(shown below) is triple my Nigerian portfolio(in market value) for a reason. I use that to edge against all the attendant risks in the Nigerian economy.It's better for the OP to start with baby steps. That is the only way to build sustainable wealth. Let compounding do its works by reinvesting dividends. My portfolio 7 years ago is not the same as what I shared above which is my present portfolio.Investment is not black and white as you posit above. In terms of real returns, even taking into account devaluation and others, my Nigerian portfolio has given me better returns (In fact the bulk of the money that formed my US investment portfolio was from selling some of my earlier investments in the Nigerian Stock Exchange). Just learn how to pick good investments and hold them for minimum of 5 years. I actively started investing in the US in December 2019 (through one of the online investment platform apps)while I started investing in the Nigeria Stock market again actively in 2016. Returns over that time has been 10.5% for the US while for the Nigerian Stock Exchange when converted to dollars has been 140.09%. I bought my first share in the Nigerian stock market in 2007 and lost lots of money during the crash of 07/08. I stayed away from the market for almost 9 years until I realize why I lost money in 2007 was because I was TRADING NOT INVESTING IN GOOD BUSINESSES .After learning how to invest, I started investing again in 2016 with the remnant of my investments in 2007. So while I don't begrudge you your views on Nigeria, please note that there are so many shades of grey.

Do you have an office in Nigeria?
I need more information on this market.
Thanks.

Righteousness2:
If you have a genuine relationship with JESUS CHRIST, You Have nothing to fear about any Doomsday. JESUS CHRIST is in control will take out HIS own before the Doom hits the Earth.

If you Have no relationship with JESUS Christ, if you are not Genuinely BORN AGAIN, you need to be afraid Because what is coming is UNPRECEDENTED.

There is no more time!!
Wherever you are, Run to JESUS Christ .
BELIEVE and SURRENDER to HIM. LIVE for HIM.
HE ALONE is the ONLY way of Escape..

Don't project fear!!!
That's not the gospel!!!
You preached covid as end of the world and it has passed and then 5G and then this
You need to unlearn bro to relearn!!!

Hendrixky:
Hmmmm...
Exactly what I'm saying when we wake in the morning we are faced with more than a hundred ways to die...

For the fact that you are alive doesn't mean you have a special grace or That imaginary being up there in the sky is giving you a preferential treatment....

With time what happened to Mr A will also happen to Mr B

We all have equal chances of receiving good and bad news in our lives....Time is what matters

The same people who just died in this plane crash probably last week when they heard about car accident that took some peoples live were thinking they have grace that is why they are Alive but see today they died in a plane crash

Have you not heard that Jesus Christ died and rose again from the dead?
Death has been swallowed up in victory!
A man without Christ has no secondhand value sir! Once you die you are gone forever we can't see you again!
Faith in Christ is your only escape from eternal loss.

John 5:24
[24]Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.


1 Corinthians 15:54-57
[54]So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
[55]O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
[56]The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
[57]But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

When ignorance of the Truth becomes one's knowledge.

Well "believe in Him" if you like without keeping His Words according to your own interpretation, at the end we'd see who's truly abusing the scriptures.

God bless.

I can relate with your State of mind because I was once ignorant of the truth and fought it with all diligence just like Paul!
But when the light broke forth I was delivered from darkness!

You will understand!!!
